- I don't believe this!

This is amazing! This is wonderful.

I have to go.

I want details.

Congratulations!

What happened to Alex?

Miranda! Psst!

Miranda!

Hi.

All rise!

This court is now in session,

the Honourable Judge

Harrison Fenwick presiding.

Morning.

Please be seated.

- The clerk will call the case.

- Your Honour,

the case of the United States

versus Lawrence Garber.

Without that evidence the counts against

Tony Bonino are out the window.

Bonino is one of the most cunning and

powerful individuals in organised crime.

- Request permission to approach.

- Alex...!

I know about you and

Anthony Bonino.

It's all right.

Step aside.

So, still on the take?

Young man, I don't know who

you are or what you want,

but you're making a grave mistake.

Now, I suggest that you turn around and walk

out of here without saying another word,

or you're going to find

yourself in big trouble.

I worshipped you, you son of

a b*tch. You let Bonino walk!

Marshall, step him back!

He suppressed evidence

against Tony Bonino, and...

Oh, my God!

.. it would have put him behind bars

for life! It was May 18th of 1964.

- It is Louie, isn't it?

- And, and... sh*t!

- Roosevelt Island!

- Roosevelt Island!

My camera! The day I died!

The court recesses until 1 o'clock!

- The camera. Get the camera, Corinne!

- Let him go!

Alex!

Alex...!

Oh, God!

It's not that I don't love you.

I do. I always will.

But...

people change.

Not as much as you, generally, but

we've both changed.

You're just not my

husband any more.

Last night I found out something about myself

that I never would have known if it...

wasn't for you.

That I love Philip.

And I only hope with my whole heart

that some day you'll forgive me.

Forgive us.

Oh, darling, can you hear

anything I'm saying?

Excuse me, ma'am.

It's time for his injection.

Just a little something you

should have had a long time ago.

I feel better now!

Where the hell am I?

In the hospital. With us.

Do you know who I am?

You're Mrs Jeffries.

You're Miranda's mother.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Hey, pal.

You gave us quite a scare.

How's your head?

Still on. I think.

Miranda!

Hi.

You don't remember any of it?

No.

The last thing I remember is Philip

inviting me to your house for dinner.

And you and I... getting the

corn out of the refrigerator.

Then it gets a little

foggy after that, but

I think it was something like this.

Alex... what about that

other girl you're seeing?

What other girl?

So, Finch, where did

you get that picture?

I can't reveal my

source, Mr Bradlee.

I mean, I really can't.

You're a tough nut

to crack, Finch.

You're gonna make one

hell of a reporter.

You start Monday.

You look so beautiful.

OK, it's time.

Come on. Philip's

waited long enough!

- Mrs Jeffries?

- Yes, Alex?

I'm gonna go get the bouquets.

I just want to say congratulations.

You and Philip make a great pair!

Thanks, Alex.

You know, you're the first

boyfriend of Miranda's

I ever really liked!

Philip?

- Yeah?

- I have something I have to tell you.

Now?

I'm in love with Miranda.

I know.

Well, here we are again.

I guess it must be fate.

We've tried it on our own.

But deep inside we've known.

We'd be back to set

things straight.

I still remember when.

Your kiss was so brand-new.

Every memory repeats.

Every step I take retreats.

Dearly beloved, we have come

together in the presence of God

to witness and bless

the joining together.

After all the stops and starts.

We keep coming back

to these two hearts.

Two angels who've been

rescued from the fog.

And after all that

we've been through.

It all comes down to me and you.

And this is meant to be.

Forever you and me.

After all.

When love is truly right.

This time it's truly right.

It lives from year to year.

It changes as it goes.

On and on away it grows.

But it never disappears.

After all the stops and starts.

We keep coming back

to these two hearts.

Two angels who've been

rescued from the fog.

And after all that

we've been through.

It all comes down to me and you.

I guess it's meant to be.

Forever you and me.

After all.

Always just beyond my touch.

Though I needed you so much.

After all what else is living for?

Whoa, after all the

stops and starts.

We keep coming back

to these two hearts.

Two angels who've been

rescued from the fog.

And after all that

we've been through.

It all comes down to me and you.

I guess it's meant to be.

Forever you and me.

After all the stops and starts.

We keep coming back

to these two hearts.

Two angels who've been

rescued from the fog.

And after all that

we've been through.

It all comes down to me and you.

I guess it's meant to be.

Forever you and me.

After all
