It's just... because

we want to help.

Okay.

I'll see you.

Sobriety empowers us

to handle situations

that used to mystify us.

When we see others overcoming

problems not unlike our own,

it gives us hope.

Three months ago, Kit came home

after a very long time.

But packed in his bags

he carried with him,

both a problem and a promise.

A promise of making

some very big changes...

that started with a meeting.

I didn't want

to come tonight.

It's been a bad week.

Just lost my brother in-law...

he was a really good friend.

Anyway, uh Ray said

it'd be good if I came.

Encourage some of you...

Sorry I uh...

chair's stuck.

Hey, Kit! Kit!

Please... join us.

Would you like to introduce

yourself?

Donovan.

Hi Donovan.

Hi Donovan.

Welcome, I'm Ray.

Perhaps you'd like to share

something about yourself?

When was the last time

you had a drink?

It's been a while.

Well, we're glad you came.

Hey, buddy,

Hey, buddy,

Susan said you got

a job at the grocery.

That's great man.

Listen, if any other details

from the accident come to you.

Anything at all,

maybe jot them down, okay?

Take care, later.

November 9th, 1 964,

my birthday.

"Can't shake these

strange thoughts.

It's been a very

peculiar week."

November 4th, 1 964.

...strange feelings...

...scaffolding...

...dj vu...

Donavan...

A girl left this.

Your total

comes to $28.22

Who left it?

Outside. Can you catch her?

It's $28.22.

Wow.

Sounds like you

deserve a raise.

Absolutely!

- You asked me if there's

a reason I returned.

I think I know.

I told you I had... sensed

something outside

the restaurant.

What, you mean

with the accident?

Yeah.

I think I had the same

feeling today.

It was like a memory.

I had these feelings before.

Just before Jas

and Magnolia left.

Almost like premonitions.

You think I'm crazy.

No! No, no no.

Jas and I had an aunt

with intuition.

What, you mean Amy? The one

who was married four times?

Her instincts told her

when to leave!

Intuitions about what?

Well, like if she was

thinking about somebody

she might get a call

from them.

I don't know if intuition's

the right word.

More like deja vu.

Thirty years ago Jas and I went

to speak to Magnolia's teacher,

Carol Mackenzie,

about her report card.

Then, all of a sudden

it clicked.

Was she hurt?

No, nothing fell.

But I recorded the event,

right here.

Right here.

There.

The exact same date,

30 years ago.

So you thought Magnolia

was in danger in '64,

but she wasn't.

But this girl today was!

What does that have to do

with you coming back?

The other guy that was killed,

the other street racer,

the red truck...

Yeah, Jason Waldgrave.
