It's been two years for viewers, but only three weeks in the world of the show when The Old Man season 2 episode 1 begins. As Chase (Jeff Bridges) and Harper (John Lithgow) ride in the back of the truck, Harper asks about Emily's childhood, like why a young Emily didn't show interest in sports until she was 9, then was adamant she play soccer.
Chase doesn't want to discuss it, insisting they focus on the task at hand. But for Harper, these stories are part of that. They'll help reassure Emily (Alia Shawkat) after her kidnapping by Afghani warlord Faraz Hamzad, her biological father, that they're the ones who know her and want what's best for her.
