[Sobbing Continues]

They never wanted to find the baby.

[Sobbing]

I did.

You tried.

I didn't try hard enough.

You hired detectives. You had lawyers.

- You did what you could.

- [Weeping] I don't know.

They never wanted to find the baby.

They wanted Julia's money, and they got it.

- I know, the bastards.

- So now let it be.

There's something else now.

There's a war going on over there.

[Whimpering Sob]

Maybe she's alive in it.

The baby's dead, Lilly.

[Sobbing]

I won't believe that. You don't know that.

Lillian! The baby is dead.

Julia was and isn't. That's all.

[Sighs]

And when you die,

will you want me to feel that way about you?

I'll outlive ya.

Oh, maybe not. You're stubborn.

[Lillian's Voice]

Hammett didn't outlive me.

We lived together,

off and on, for... 30 years.

And I've gone on

for a good many years since.

Sometimes fine, not always.

But he was right. I am stubborn.

I haven't forgotten either of them.
