I don't want to see you again.

Hey, buddy.

You can't be in here.

Do you see me?

Do you see me?

Can you see me?

We can see you.

Is this blood?

This is blood!

Is it red?

Red?

Is it red?

Color.

What color were the drugs you took?

Better get your butt out of here.

You got somewhere to go?

Maggie.

Down and down and down I go

Round and round and round I go

Round and spin

Loving the spin I'm in

Loving that old black magic...

...called love

Love!

Hi!

I was wondering if you could tell me

how to get to the county hospital?

Can I help you, sir?

I'll just take a moment

to catch my breath.

Breath!

Maggie Rice.

Are you a patient?

No. I just need to find her, please.

You'll have to call her office.

Someone there can help you.

Do you know where she is?

No, sir, I do not know where she is.

You have this computer...

...and all this technology.

Can't you look her up?

Where's Maggie?

So you're a friend of Maggie's?

What happened to you?

Sorry.

It's okay.

I fell.

Evidently. Off a train?

I fell in love.

Please help me find her.

She went to Lake Tahoe. Her uncle

has a cabin on the Nevada side.

Wait!

Cassiel.

Are you there?

Hello.

Where you headed?

Tahoe!

Reno!

Tahoe!

I'm going to Reno.

I'm going to Tahoe.

Hop in. We'll figure it out

when we get there.

Am I too late?

Too late?

Jordan?

I couldn't marry Jordan.

I'm in love with you.

What happened?

Free will.

I feel you.

Do you feel that?

Yes.

And that?

How's it feel?

Tell me what it feels like.

I can't.

Try.

Warm.

Aching.

It's okay.

We fit together.

I know.

We were made to fit together.

I always asked the dying what

they liked best about living.

Wrote it down in my book.

This is it.

This is what I like best.

You haven't even started yet.

We have our whole lives together.

You and me.

Mr. and Mrs. Plate.

- I'll get help.

- You're here.

- Stay.

- I should get help.

Don't go. The driver went.

Please stay.

Please stay with me.

I'm scared.

I screwed up.

I wanted to show you everything.

You will.

You came all this way.

I'm sorry.

God, no, Maggie!

To touch you...

...and to feel you.

To be able to hold your hand right now.

You know what that means?

Do you know how much I love you?

Keep looking at me, okay?

Look right in my eyes.

Someone's out there.

Don't look at them.

Please don't you look at them!

Is this what happens?

Yes.

This is what happens.

I'm not afraid.

When they ask me...

...what I liked the best...

...I'll tell them...

...it was you.

God!

I can't see you,

but I know you're there.

I'm sorry.

Get out.

Was it you? Were you the one?

Were you there?

No.

Why did He do this?

I don't know.

Because her number was up?

What do you want me to say?

- Am I being punished?

- You know better than that.

That's life.

You're living now.

And one day...

...you'll be dying.

What's it like?

What?

Warmth.

It's wonderful.

If you'd known this

was going to happen...

...would you have done it?

I would rather have had...

...one breath of her hair...

...one kiss of her mouth...
