Yeah?

I mean, would you please

At my place?

Charlie, in a few days

l'm going to get in my boat

and sail away

for six months.

Six months.

So, not really much

of a prospect, am l?

Are you a good cook?

Excellent.

Beer or wine?

Surprise me.

Okay.

AIl right, l will.

Well, you have to

make her pizza,

Okay.

What? pizza's delicious.

l think pizza is delicious.

Good.

Remember me telling you

that l kissed Jenny York?

Yeah.

Well, l lied.

Hey.

Believe me,

Absolute fanatic.

Really?

You're insane.

You don't agree?

Well.,.

lt's so boring!

Agree to disagree.

Come on,

They stand around

and they don't do.,.

What about golf?

Golf?

Yeah, or shopping?

Football. That's my sport.

Oh, come on.

Oh, please!

No way,

Yes!

You didn't strike me

who likes neckless

'roid-heads,

Well, l do.

Come on, hairier

the better.

yeah. More wine?

Yes, please.

Are you moving?

No, that's all Sam's stuff.

I couidn't get rid of

my ded's stuff, either.

This one over

here contains

thousands of vintage

Red Sox baseball cards.

Really?

Yeah.

Why the obsession

with a team from Boston?

According to Sammy,

our dad played

for the Red Sox.

Did he?

No.

He tried out for

the Triple-A team

in Pawtucket.

That was the last

we saw of him.

Can l have that

sketch someday?

lt's yours now.

Thanks.

So, l haven't shown

you my route.

You're limping.

Yeah, l told you,

l got tossed

around pretty good

on my last sail.

So l'm starting in Boston,

and then l'm going

to make my way south

towards Brazil.

And then l'm going to go

through the.,.

Charlie, what are we doing?

l don't know.

No, l.., Charlie.,.

l leave in a week.

l know.

l think l should go.

Can l walk you?

No.

Come on, let me walk you.

No, Charlie.

Timing,

it really is eveything.

l'm sorry.

Tess?

Tess!

Come find me!

l found you.

What are these?

Burn marks.

lt's where the paramedic

shocked me.

They're beautiful.

Hardly.

Hey.

They saved your life.

They're beautiful.

This doesn't

change anything.

l knew you'd find me!

Here we go!

Hike! Hike hard!

lt's choppy.

Whoa, hey!

Thank you.

For what?

For this.

Stand by to come about!

Aye-aye, Captain!

Sorry.

It's been a while.

lt won't happen again.

''trust your heart

if the seas catch fire

''and live by love..,''

''by love though

the stars walk backward''

How did you know that?

l heard you read it.

Were you at my

father's memorial?

Oh, my God.

lt's E.E. Cummings.

lt was my dad's favorite.

l like it a lot.

l don't understand it at all.

lt's about taking chances.

Sailing around the world.

l wish you could

come with me,

lt's a solo race.

So you could be part

of my support team,

l could see you

for a couple days.

l can't.

Why? Come on,

you don't have

any holidays?

l just can't.

You just can't.

l just can't.

Oh, sh*t.

What?

Nothing.

l left something at work.

What? Well, hold on,

l'll come with you,

No. l won't be long.

l'll meet you at the cottage.

Sam. Sam!

Stop!

Sam, stop!

You're late.

l couldn't.,.

l couldn't help it, Sam.

l knew you'd be late.

l could.., l could

feel you forgetting me.

No, Sam.

lt's like,

without you,

l feel myself

start to disappear.

Be nothing.

There's nothing to

be scared of, Sam.

Do you want me to go?

No.

Then why did you

bring her?

l didn't mean

to spy on you.

Charlie, it's okay.

Sam and l made a deal.

Charlie, you don't

have to explain

anything to me.

No, we made a,..

We made a pact.,.

You don't.

..,that evey day at sunset

l would meet him here.

Charlie.

l can't lose Sam, Tess.

l can't lose Sam.

Let's go.

No.

Let's go.

The more l'm in your world,

the less l can be in his.

Charlie, at some point

we all have to let go.

l can't lose Sam, Tess.

Goodbye, Tess.

Good luck with the race.

You didn't die in

that car crash, Charlie.

Actually, l did.

l can't come to

Cape Town because

evey evening l play catch

with my dead brother

in the graveyard.

But l'll be here

when you get back, Tess.

Because, of course,

l never leave.

You.

Come on.

Let's go for a walk.

Bobbo! Come here!

Hey!

Hello?

Charlie?

l never can tell

if your machine

has picked up.

it's your mom.

I just reaily miss you.

Give me a call sometime,

okay?

I love you.

Bye.

You all right,

boss Man?

You look dirty, mate.

What happened to you?

Please say you

got laid at least.

ls that a no, is it?

Oh, well.

Thanks, babes.

Can l have your attention?

Bobbo!

Julie, can you get Bobbo?

Julie!

Julie?

We've got a boat missing out

of Quincy Harbor.

Whose boat?

lt's the Querencia.

Tess Carroll's boat.

She was out sailing

during the storm

three days ago,

There's been no

contact since.

She was out sailing

during the storm

three days ago.

Three days ago.

Is it fatal?

l just hit some

rough weather last night.

Yeah, I got tossed

around pretty good

on my last sail.

The Coast Guard's

overextended,

so we're asking for volunteers

to join the search.

lt's too late.

Tess?

Tess?

Why are you the only one

who can see me, Charlie?

I can see you

because I can see Sam.

Sam's dead.

Your boat never

came back, Tess.

You never came back.

No, l.,.

You're in between now.

No, l lied to Tink.

l lied to him. l.,.

I sailed stralght

into the storm.

l remember,.. l remember

l saw the old

Cape Flattery light.

Everyone sees the light.

No, you didn't.,.

l've seen that light, Tess.

Charlie, l'm getting cold.

l'm scared.

l wanted you to find me.

That's why.,.

That's why l came here,

'cause l wanted

you to find me.

You were supposed to find me,

because you're

supposed to help me.

You were supposed to find me.

I cannot be dead.

Please, Charlie, find me.

Tess!

Tess!

She's dead, that girl.

Tess.

She took a boat

out in that storm.

She...

She never came back.

You still got me.

Yeah, l know, man.

l know.

Mr. St, Cloud?

l'm not on duty.

This is

a personal matter.

l'm Carla Ferrente.

Florio was my husband.

l tried calling

earlier. He..,

He died last night.

Florio wanted you to

have his medallion.

Are you sure?

l'm sure. He said it

was the answer for you.

To what?

''Why you?''

That's it?

That's it.

l've never seen one of

these without a cross.

lt's not Christ,

It's Saint Jude.

Jude is the saint

of all lost causes.

There's no such thing

as a lost cause.

Yeah.

Well, that's what my Florio

used to always say.

God just doesn't show off.

There's got to be a reason

God gave you a second chance.

You're not dead.

I just really

hate geese, mate.

I just hate them.

They're dirty,

they crap everywhere.

Where's Tink?

You fueled up? Let's go.

What are you doing, man?

Hey, hey!

Get your hands off my boat!

In case you haven't heard,

the Coast Guard

called off the search.

Well, then give me your keys.

l'm taking your boat.
