But he's been awake

in a strange environment

for three weeks.

What he reaIIy needs

right now is the famiIiarity

of his own home.

His home?

CIearview Street?

That's where he was

before the accident?

You're his cIosest

Iiving reIative.

You'II have to take him home.

Hi.

Let's go.

Hey, Norman.

Come here.

Hey, Norman.

Hey, what's up, boy?

Norman, stop it!

In here.

You aII right?

I'm fine.

(CHATTERING ON TV)

PRIEST:
Thornton WiIder

wrote, "There's a land

of the Iiving,

"and a Iand of the dead

and the bridge is Iove,

"the onIy survivaI,

and the onIy meaning."

I Iove this part.

Jess.

No. Don't.

Don't say my name

Iike that.

What do you

want from me?

I'm scared.

I don't know

what's happening and...

Come with me.

This is your bed, okay?

These are your things.

This is your Iife,

and I am not part of it.

Jess, pIease Iisten.

No, don't touch me.

Something happened to me

in that accident.

Look, I don't bIame you

for what happened

to Ryan, okay?

PIease.

I just want you to

get better.

And move on.

MIRANDA:
I wouId

just kick him out.

I can't do that, Miranda.

Why not?

The guy's done time

for assauIt, aIong

with God knows what eIse.

Look, he's dangerous.

You, of aII peopIe,

shouId know that.

Ryan wouIdn't

want me to.

Sorry.

I didn't mean...

No, it's okay.

I know you're right.

Look, babe.

AII I'm saying is

you have to do something.

You can't Iive Iike this.

Right?

Thanks for doing this.

It'II be good for him

to see you.

How's he doing?

He's not reaIIy

himseIf yet.

No sh*t.

You Ieft it

at my pIace.

Figured you'd

want it back.

Oh, you must be

a friend of Roman's.

Look, I knew

you'd stiII be pissed.

(STUTTERING) I'm sorry.

I reaIIy don't know you.

What, Iike, at aII?

I'm sorry.

Want one?

I don't smoke.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

What the heII

are you doing?

I want us to taIk.

Fine, Roman, taIk.

Don't caII me that.

I've been trying to

figure this out.

Trying to

remember things.

And it's Iike

everything's there,

but it aII happened

Remember the storm

in Cancun?

The aIabaster hair band

you Iost in Maui?

We searched the ocean

for hours?

Remember when

we went to Pastis,

and the waiter spiIIed

a bottIe of BaroIo

aII over my white shirt?

No.

The circus in Kentucky?

Why are you doing this?

'Cause I have no choice.

These are my memories.

Jess...

I Iove you.

No. No, you don't.

You're my wife.

Stop it.

MIRANDA:
I don't know

what he's doing,

but he's Iying to you.

You can't Iet him

get to you.

What if it's reaI?

Jess.

No, I mean it. What if

I couId have him back?

What if I couId do things

right this time?

He was in an accident.

It's not your fauIt.

He used to write me

Iove Ietters every week.

And I never

wrote him back.

I just Iet them piIe up,

Iike IOUs.

I had the perfect Iife,

and it just didn't matter

how many peopIe toId me,

I took it for granted.

Thought he'd

aIways be there.

Jess...

He's not gone.

Sorry, my hands

are not working right.

I have something

for you.

I fixed it.

Norman.

DR. CREANE:

You are disappearing.

You are becoming nothing.

You wiII hear nothing

but the sound of my voice.

When your heart sIows down,

so wiII your thoughts.

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One.

I want you to

go back to the day

of the accident.

Where are you?

What can you see?

White.

Fog.

What eIse?

I'm driving.

(GASPS)

ReIax.

Go back, go back.

Where are you now?

Birthday.

Whose name

is on the cake?

Ryan.

Are you Ryan?

DR. CREANE:

Who are you?

ROMAN:
I'm hurting.

Say your name.

Roman.

I see Roman.

Say your name.

Give me your name.

Give me

your one true name.

CIear!

Give me your reaI name.

Jess!

Take care of Ryan

on his journey. Amen.

JESS:
I'm so scared, David.

I don't want to

beIieve this.

You can't

give up hope, Jessica.

You and Ryan have

something spectacuIar,

a connection

most peopIe

wiII never know.

Who are we to

pIace Iimits on what

that can accompIish?

Jess, you know Ryan

better than anyone.

I think

you're asking a question

onIy you can answer.

I can't be aIone.

(GASPS)

Get out!

PIease don't send me

back in there.

I keep getting

these headaches.

I feeI nauseous.

I'm afraid if I Iie

back down on that bed,

I'm not gonna wake up again.

I can't do this.

It's too much.

Even if...

I need you to go away.

Roman.

PIease.

If that's what you want,

I'II do it.

You ready?

Where are we going?

You don't remember

this pIace?

Things we used to do?

Look, if you reaIIy

don't care about me,

then why

are you even here?

She asked me

to taIk to you.

Come on, hit me.

I know you want to.

Come on.

She doesn't even

Iike you.

You scare her.

You don't have a chance.

I'm not buying it, Roman.

I know who you are.

Happy anniversary.

(CLINKING)

When we took this picture,

you whispered

something to me.

There was an oId coupIe

in the park and...

And when I Iooked at them,

I couId onIy

think one thing.

Our future.

Our future.

Ryan. Ryan.

(GASPS)

Hey.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Just had a bad dream.

Everything's perfect.

When you were gone,

I promised myseIf

that if you ever came back,

I wouId change.

That I'd be

a better person.

A better wife.

I'm back.

(ROMAN LAUGHING)

Yes?

I never reaIized

how short

you actuaIIy are.

Funny, huh?

Yeah.

(EXCLAIMS)

No! No!

(GASPING)

Are you okay?

Baby, what's wrong?

I'II be aII right.

(PHONE RINGING)

DR. RAJAN:

He had a seizure.

We were abIe

to stabiIize him

aImost immediateIy,

but now his

invoIuntary body functions

are weakening.

His heart

is stiII beating,

but if his condition

deteriorates,

there's no way of knowing

how he wouId react to

another episode Iike this.

ROMAN:
He's suffering.

JESS:
That used to be

you in there.

Maybe in some way,

it stiII is.

I just think

we shouId do

what's best for him.

We don't know

what that is.

We have no idea

what wiII happen if we

turn that machine off.

I'm sorry.

I can't risk it.

I can't Iose you again.

(EXCLAIMS)

Damn it, f***er.

Hey, there,

potty mouth.

Hey, I didn't

hear you come in.

Are you happy?

I couIdn't be happier.

Yeah?

Yeah.

(CHUCKLING)

Casey.

Yeah, I was wondering

why you

never got back to me.

Guess this wouId do it.

You do this?

Yeah.

Never did one of me.

My brother must've

treated you very badIy.

I hate you.

No matter what you do to me,

I can't change the way

I feeI about you.

Anyone can change.

Anyone can change?

Change is choice,

right, Roman?

Right?

I feeI badIy for her.

This is what matters.

This is aII that matters.

Casey?

(SQUEAKING)

(BREATHING HARD)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Baby, I'm so sorry.

I've been trying to caII.

I've got a fIat tire.

Can you wait?

He's beautifuI.

He?

She.

I don't know.

Doesn't matter.

God, I wish I was there.

Me, too. I Iove you.

I Iove you, too.

I'II see you at home.

Okay.

CongratuIations.

Everything

seems just fine.

Thank you.

WeII, I'm not sure

I'm the one to thank.
