Final Cut: The Making and Unmaking of Heaven's Gate Page #2

---

all around us...

and we ran.

I remember that

like it was yesterday.

Do you recall any moments

with your daughter?

This isn't long ago.

We were watching Isabel

in a school talent show.

She was wonderful that night.

I think Charles and I

both felt...

what an amazing thing

a family was.

We felt it together.

She was up there on that stage.

Oh, goodness.

Excuse me.

I know this is very hard,

Mrs. Bannister...

but it's important.

It's the foundation

of a cutter's work.

I need you and your family...

to help me choose

those moments you want to keep.

I won't be able to do

your husband justice...

if I don't understand him

through you.

I heard you were the best...

that you would know

how to handle Charles.

My husband was a great man,

Mr. Hakman.

He deserves to be remembered

as a great man.

After my initial cut...

I will need

to speak with Isabel.

Is that necessary?

There's nothing that

any one of you can tell me...

that I won't know very soon.

Of course. Yes.

Rom.

Please call EYE Tech storage.

Tell them Mr. Hakman

will be dropping by.

Very good, ma'am.

Thank you.

I've...

I've seen Rememories

where the cutters were careless.

They had no respect

for the dead.

The dead mean nothing to me,

Mrs. Bannister.

I took this project

because I respect the living.

Remember for yourself!

Live for today!

You are blasphemous, you freak!

Why don't you people go home?

Just go home! Show some respect!

Open your eyes!

I'm sorry, Mrs. Monroe.

It's never been this bad before.

So... this is him, huh?

That's him.

Caroline, are you all right?

You did very well.

Oh, hi. Oh, it's OK.

He's got his eyes open.

He's looking at you.

- What's his name?

- Danny.

- Hi, Danny.

- Oh, careful.

Hey, Daniel,

we got some visitors for you.

Look. Everybody's here. Look.

- There's your grandma.

- Look. That's Grandma.

How are you feeling, Eliza?

I'm good. I'm really good.

- Excellent.

- Look what I made.

That looks really good, Danny.

Now go wash out your brush.

Hi!

Come on, Uncle.

Bring a steak for us.

Sit in the shade, honey.

So, Danny, you still drawing?

Nope.

No? Didn't you want to grow up

to be an artist?

Not anymore.

No?

What did you want to be, then?

A doctor.

A doctor, eh? Clever kid.

That'll keep you in the bucks.

Why a doctor?

Because I want to help people

when they're hurt.

Would you listen to

this little kid?

You got a good heart, Danny.

And that's all you need in life.

Come on. Be a good boy

and eat your lunch.

Now I make the incision here.

Hand me the number 17, please.

Actually, Professor,

I think the number 12...

would be more appropriate.

Yes. Correct. The number 12.

Thank you, Mr. Monroe.

Hello there.

I'm Dr. Daniel Monroe.

I've seen you around

the hospital these last few days

and I couldn't help but notice

the most beautiful woman here.

I was wondering if maybe

you'd like to join me...

for dinner sometime.

That might be nice.

You lasted longer

than I thought you would.

Come on, Danny boy.

It's a strange profession

you have, isn't it, Alan?

You take people's lives,

make lies out of them.

Fletcher.

It's been a long time.

Eight years.

Yeah. I don't have time

to catch up right now.

Come on! Speech!

- Say something.

- Speech.

I want to thank all of you.

I mean that.

This is the best birthday

I have ever had.

How can you handle it, Alan?

People sleeping and shitting...

people stealing

from each other...

manipulating each other...

the obscenity.

I can't talk. I'm working.

Well, now... I'm hurt.

That's not why I'm here.

I'm booked solid

for the next two months.

No, no, no.

I don't have a job lead for you.

You do have something

that I need, though.

What could I possibly have

that you want?

I know you've taken

the Bannister project...

and I want it.

Wow. I thought

you'd given up cutting.

I'm offering you

$500,000 in cash.

Oh, what? The code?

Would you forget

the damn code and grow up?

This is real life now.

Hey, did you change

the color of our fishing boat?

- I would never do that.

- Are you sure?

Because I remember

it being green, not red.

Weird. All my memories

in that boat...

have it being green.

It just blew my mind.

Maybe it was green.

Will you excuse me?

I have to go.

OK. Rush, rush, rush.

Beautiful work, Mr. Hakman.

I'll keep you in mind for me.

Ah, yes, the questions.

"I remember it differently.

"Are you sure

that's what happened?"

Some of us still

live by the code, Fletcher.

We didn't walk away.

We have what it takes.

And what does it take, Alan?

Delusion? Obsession? Guilt?

No, I don't have any of those...

not as much as you do.

I'll be in touch.

Wait!

He was such a good father, too.

When his son had the mumps?

Oh, my God!

My heart was in my throat.

That part with the partners.

Could you believe that?

It's the Rememory

your husband deserved, Caroline.

He really was someone special.

Thank you, Nathalie.

Yeah! Danny! Danny!

Excuse me.

Mr. Hakman.

Mrs. Monroe.

Why are they tattooed like that?

I'm not sure.

They're so grotesque,

aren't they?

Sorry about your loss.

Thank you.

Look! It's the cutter!

Open your eyes!

Hey! Back off! Back off!

Keep your distance.

and I'm quite concerned

about EYE Tech's liability.

I think if any of this

were to get out...

it could be quite devastating.

We do have $1.2 billion

that we wish to invest...

and I'm just wondering,

with EYE Tech, if there's...

What do you think?

I love it. Thank you, Charles.

Hey, Joey, come help me

build a sandcastle.

Here. Use my shovel.

Happy anniversary, honey.

Is it keys?

Hi, baby. You still awake?

No.

Daddy loves you so much.

You know that.

I love you, too, Dad.

Do you want to come down

to my study?

I'd like to show you

what I'm working on.

What are you working on?

It's a new case. Come on.

OK.

So, how was school today?

Good. We read a book

about Kipper, the Sparky Dog.

Kipper, the Sparky Dog?

He's a very happy dog.

Daddy?

What, sweetie?

Can I have a pet?

Well, maybe. What kind of pet?

Maybe a kitty.

A kitty? Of course.

Go on in, honey.

- Daddy?

- Yes, sweetie?

I want to go back to bed.

In a little while, baby.

In a little while.

Daddy loves you so much.

You know that.

And I love you, too, Dad.

Thank you.

Wasn't she wonderful?

- You look lovely, honey.

- Thank you.

I'll tell Rom to bring up

some more champagne.

- Fine.

- Would you like one, sir?

No, thank you.

Isabel wanted to stay up

and say hello...

but the poor thing fell asleep.

It's a beautiful picture.

She's a very bright little girl.
