A Near Death Experience Page #2

---

I'm sorry.

This was a mistake.

Ellie, please.

Don't go.

Do you have any idea

how long I've waited

for a chance like this?

OK. I'm sorry.

I know this must

sound crazy but...

he's here.

OK, what are you?

A psychic or something?

No. Believe, me.

This has never happened

to me before.

I need you to talk to my mother.

Her name's Mary.

Mary?

Mary?

Could you come out

here for a second?

She doesn't remember.

Tell her about the pictures

she keeps by her bed.

He wants me to tell you about

a picture you keep by your bed.

It's of all of us, taken after

a softball game when I was 8.

It was taken on a day you

all played a softball game.

Of Cub Scouts.

Matt and I look angry

because the moms just

whipped our butts 10-0.

I remember how...

...years later you

all had a good laugh

when you told them

that the moms tried everything

you could not to win

but the boys were so lousy,

you couldn't help it.

Please tell her, Ellie...

that I'm here.

Tell her that I know.

Even now,

even after all these

He wants me to tell you that

he knows there's still

a tiny little part of you

that clings to the hope

that maybe,

just maybe one day you'll

pick up the phone

and Dwayne will be on the

other end, that maybe...

...they'll be a

knock at the door

and I'll come walking in, just

like I'd never been away at all.

Sometimes they declare a man

missing in action...

...to give hope when

really there is none.

Sometimes there's

just no greater cruelty.

I guess that's it.

He isn't saying anything more.

Please...

Tell me...

My son,

is he at peace?

No, I'm not, Ellie.

It's her. It's her

pain that holds me here.

Tell her she can love me,

she can always love me,

but it's time to let me go.

Come on, Ellie.

Tell her.

The answer's yes.

He is at peace.

No, that's not what I said!

Now he says it's time

for you to let go.

He says,

it's time for you,

for both of you,

to move on.

[ Door opening ]

Ow!

Oh my God! Are

you all right?

I cut my hand.

Let me take a look at it.

It doesn't look too bad. Still,

we better get it

I don't think we've met.

My name's Ellie.

I'm Jamie.

My dad and me just moved in.

Well, nice to meet you, Jamie.

What do you say we

go get that hand fixed?

Come on.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

My dad had to go buy some stuff,

so Mr. Valinsky said he'd take

care of me for a while.

Mr. Valinsky?

So where is he then?

He fell asleep watching TV.

I decided to skateboard.

Skateboarding's always fun.

In other news, meteorologists...

Let's see if we

can get that fixed.

OK...

All right...

You OK? Does that hurt?

Just hold that there.

If you can try to keep a

little pressure on it, OK?

So, where you from?

You guys new to this city?

Yeah.

Well, Boston is a great town.

You're going to love it.

Hey, neat!

Where did you get it?

Oh, I work at the Train Museum

over on Adams Street.

Hey, if you like, I could

show you around some time.

Cool!

All right, let's see.

There.

That ought to do the trick.

Tell you what.

Why don't we take you back

to Mr. Valinsky's apartment?

With any luck, he'll never even

know that you were gone.

I'll get your

skateboard. Come on.

...now searching for

Mr. Daniel Nicholson,

husband of Dr. Taylor

Nicholson,

whose body was

discovered two days ago.

The police have confirmed,

Daniel Nicholson

who has be

along with his

7 -year-old son James,

how now been identified

as a possible suspect

in connection to

his wife's murder.

At this point, police are

warning the public

that Mr. Nicholson is believed

to be armed and dangerous.

With the opening, you've been

working so hard.

You're just very tired.

Enjoy the time off.

It's times like this, Maggie,

I miss Brendan the most.

These past few days,

I can't even begin to tell

you how strange it's been.

What do you mean?

Ever since the hospital, I...

Come on, Ellie.

Talk to me.

If there's something wrong,

I want to know about it.

Come on, girl. Don't

keep me hanging here.

You know what? I'm fine.

Really.

[ Knocking ]

Look Mag, someone's at the door.

I'll check in later, OK? Bye.

Later. Bye.

Oh, hey. Sorry

to bother you.

Hi. My name is Gabe Tanner.

I'm Jamie's father.

Oh!

I just wanted to thank you for

helping Jamie this afternoon.

Ah! Mommy! Mommy!

Ah! Ah!

Shh... It's OK, buddy.

It's OK, it's OK.

It's just a bad dream.

It's nothing. He's OK.

[Woman]:
Ellie, I'm here.

Shh...

[Woman]:
Ellie,

please help me.

Please... Ellie...

You can see...

Please, Ellie.

Ellie, I need you.

Hello?

[Man]:
I need you to tell her.

You have to tell her.

[ Woman sobbing ]

[ Sobbing ]

Ellie, help me.

[ Screaming ]

Who is there?

It's me, Ellie.

What are you doing?

You want to give me h

I thought I heard something.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I didn't

mean to scare you.

Ellie, come. I think we

should get out of here.

And I think you

should rest more.

Come.

Ellie, now we are friends

for a long time now

and I want you to

listen to me seriously.

Don't worry.

I'm almost ready.

I didn't say anything.

Hey, I'm in no rush.

I'm enjoying watching you.

Sorry, honey. We're

late enough as it is.

I brought you something.

It's in honour of

our first anniversary.

Mmm...

Did you just pick

this from the garden?

Heh heh... It's the

thought that counts, right?

Honey, come on.

Sorry. It'll

never happen again.

Here, let me help you with that.

Wow...

I can fix that.

Hmm-hmm.

I'll help you fix that.

You're a big help.

I do what I can.

- OK.

- OK what?

Maybe we're not in that

big of a rush after all.

What about the party?

It doesn't matter.

We're late enough as it is.

Another 5 minutes isn't

going to do anything.

Five minutes? You trying

to tell me something?

Uh-huh.

You know, this

isn't really fair.

You're the only

one dressed here.

I think you're right.

It's not fair in the least.

Let's do something

about that, shall we?

Yeah, let's.

Candlesticks up in flames

Burning sweet

History is a game

Can't stop me now

Always by you

Come play around

Whenever

It's just a moment

Come to the ground

Whenever

Always be yours

What goes around

Is a fever

Oh, my man

Loves so profound

Forever

History is a game

I love you so much.

Can't stop me now

[ Sighing ]

Jamie, I'm sorry,

but we can't go.

That's all there is to it.

Give me that wrench.

But Dad, you promised!

Jamie, that's enough.

When did they say

it would be ready?

Uh, it's looking like tomorrow

morning at the earliest.

Can I give you

guys a ride somewhere?

Uh, no thanks.

We're good.

You sure? I don't mind.

Yeah. But thanks, though.

Sorry. You said your

name's Gabe, right?

Yeah, that's right.

I don't know if

you guys have plans,

but I was telling Jamie

I work right down the street

at the Train Museum.

If you'd like,

I could show you around.

No, that's OK.

But thanks though.

It would be just us.

The museum's closed today.

Kind of like our

own private tour.

Well, in that case,
