I Am Page #3

---

Yeah.

Thursday night sounds amazing.

- Perfect.

- Okay.

Hey, you're being ridiculous,

he's a really nice guy.

MAN:

I didn't ask for this, you know?

It wasn't like I woke up this morning

and said:

"Today, I will go out and have an affair."

I mean, Ali just never understood me,

you know?

This place can be the land of the lost...

...where you can go to forget,

or to be forgotten.

The problem is that...

...while you can be forgotten...

...you can never forget.

I didn't sign up for a baby.

Do me a favor.

Can you sign this?

Is this for your wife or your girlfriend?

Go home to your family.

You could've signed that, you know.

- I could do a lot of things.

- And yet...

...you don't.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Isolation feels good when we're hurting.

Pain is an intimate emotion...

... one you don't wanna share

or even expose.

Reach out.

If we don't...

...we are lost to our own madness.

You look tired.

Sleep is important.

It keeps us focused.

You're not real.

How many of those you taking?

An acute manifestation of my subconscious

has transferred into hallucination.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Mexico.

A little far off of our jurisdiction,

don't you think?

It's all right here.

The yacht's in her name and he's living

on it. Look at the phone records.

They never spoke until a month

before her disappearance.

Now he's living on her yacht.

She is not dead.

So she was frozen.

That is not a homicide.

Look, if we can prove that Ortus is taking

money from one of Vita's companies...

...then we got a conspiracy to your fraud.

We get Ortus, we find Angelica.

That's huge.

Just need a search warrant.

We'll take it to the DA's office.

If there's this much money involved,

there's a conspiracy.

Let's take a look at the brother.

He's got a motive.

You're the boss.

Until you become DA...

...and then you'll be too big

for us little people.

Don't hold your breath.

You got my vote.

Elizabeth, you're too good to me.

- There is one thing.

- You know what? Save it.

Got my parents' anniversary tonight,

gotta pick up Alice at 7.

It's about Alice.

You know what? Don't tell me.

You're destined to be DA,

you know that.

After that the mayor,

the mayor or the governor...

...after that, who knows?

But the one thing that can keep you

from where you wanna be is a scandal.

Let's get something straight.

I haven't done anything.

If there are gonna be skeletons

in your closet...

...make sure the bones are yours.

I'm sorry.

[BABY CRYING]

I'll get her. Thanks, Joanne.

ALICE:

I've got the good news this time.

I'm pregnant.

I didn't sign up for a baby.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Sorry I'm late.

It was a crazy day at work.

Wow, you look so handsome.

What's wrong?

- You know what? Let's go inside.

- No.

It's your parents' anniversary.

We're gonna be late.

No. I have never been inside. Not once.

Is it that big of a deal?

Is it that big of a deal...

Good night.

...that you have a daughter...

...that you never told me about?

Yes, Alice.

It is that big of a deal.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

X:

So, what's the problem?

AARON:
I can't help thinking

she's still in love with him.

Spenser was not a man to her.

He was an object.

A graven image hung on the wall

and worshipped.

What is it that really bothers you?

That she worshipped him

or that she didn't worship you?

I don't know.

Hi there. Is your father home?

How'd you even get past the gate?

Your father gave me the code.

- Tori, that's enough.

- Whatever.

Let's talk in the studio.

- Your daughter's a charmer.

- Right.

This is a great shot of your son.

Mr. And Mrs. Evans...

...your son has suffered severe head trauma

from the accident.

Now we've done all that we can

to stop the bleeding in the brain itself...

...but the swelling is at dangerous levels.

X:

It is amazing.

The power of a moment.

Life zooms past us at the speed of light.

The years fall away

in the blink of an eye.

But in that one defining moment...

...time stands perfectly still.

DOCTOR:
I have to return to surgery.

- Thank you.

You are immersed

in life's most painful emotion.

Regret.

[PLAYING ROCK MUSIC]

I gotta tell you this,

but your kid is better than his old man.

Hey, Dad. That solo section

still need some work?

No, no, it's good. You got it.

- Why don't you come up and jam with us?

- You guys go, man. Go ahead.

Come on,

show us how you old guys do it.

I got too much to do, man.

I told you, go ahead. I'll get you next time.

All right. Next time.

He won't always care what you think.

You know that, right?

[BAND PLAYING ROCK MUSIC]

The Jews have a word called Sabbath.

The idea is that one day a week...

...we take rest from everything else...

...so that we can focus...

...on what really matters.

DOCTOR:

We lost him. I'm so sorry.

X:

In time, darkness will give way.

And then...

...you must live.

Live like you've never lived before.

I was told that you're the guy

and for the money I'm paying you...

...you better be the guy.

Trevor, what can I do

to make a miracle happen for you?

I was going through his stuff,

I found this raw footage.

It's his last song.

[GUITAR PLAYING ON VIDEO]

[SINGING]

On and on

On and on

- Oh this is good.

TREVOR:
Yeah, it's good.

- This is really good.

- Make it a hit.

I've wanted to tell you.

What is the point of talking, huh?

What is the point?

Thirty-five years ago today...

...my parents stood at the altar

of a tiny church in Mount Bethel, Texas.

And it was there

that they heard these words.

Love is patient, love is kind.

Not jealous...

...or boastful or rude.

So you're fighting.

It's not what is said.

It's what's not.

I'm curious.

How could she say anything

that would change her past?

She can't.

It does not demand its own way.

It's not irritable.

And it keeps no record of being wrong.

Although my sister Eva

never really saw it that way.

Some people are just easier to love

than others.

[GUESTS LAUGHING]

Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough.

It does not rejoice in injustice...

...but rejoices

whenever the truth wins out.

Love never gives up.

It never loses faith.

It's always hopeful.

And it endures every circumstance.

You did it, Mom and Dad. You lived it.

Every word.

Congratulations. I love you both.

MAN:
Hear, hear.

- I love you, son.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

You've been staring at her all night.

And you haven't said a word.

Evie, you wouldn't understand.

Aaron, I'm divorced.

Believe me, I'll understand.

Not this time.

My one regret...

...is that I didn't give Scott

another chance.

You know, he hurt me, and I was done.

That was it.

He deserved it.

Maybe...

...but I'll never get

a 35th wedding anniversary, will I?

X:
What would your father do

if he were in your shoes with your mother?

Alice is not my mother.

No...

...but your mother's been wrong

and your father forgave her.

This is different.

How? Because it's you?
