57:26,892 -- 00:57:30,392

iHer name was Mary,/i

iand the house was a gift for her./i

772

00:
57:30,578 -- 00:57:33,185

iShe was smart and funny./i

773

00:
57:33,372 -- 00:57:36,746

iShe could have done anything, but chose/i

ito take care of my brother and I.../i

774

00:
57:36,938 -- 00:57:38,592

i... and help him build his career./i

775

00:
57:38,781 -- 00:57:42,487

iYou see, the more successful he became,/i

ithe more impossible he was to live with./i

776

00:
57:42,711 -- 00:57:45,991

iFinally, she just couldn't take/i

iliving with him anymore./i

777

00:
57:46,182 -- 00:57:48,886

iShe left him./i

778

00:
57:49,071 -- 00:57:51,030

iWithin a year, she got sick./i

779

00:
57:51,222 -- 00:57:54,592

iUnfortunately, she never learned/i

ihow to stop loving him./i

780

00:
57:55,737 -- 00:57:57,947

iHe wasn't at the funeral./i

781

00:
57:59,177 -- 00:58:01,263

iWhen I asked him why.../i

782

00:
58:06,550 -- 00:58:09,126

Go on, Alex. What did he say?

783

00:
58:12,787 -- 00:58:16,221

He said, "She was dead to me the

moment she stepped out of the house."

784

00:
58:18,992 -- 00:58:22,952

And then he gave me

one of his architect-of-the-year grins.

785

00:
58:36,777 -- 00:58:37,938

I hope you appreciate this.

786

00:
58:38,159 -- 00:58:40,673

I had to sneak past

three nurses and your Attending.

787

00:
58:40,895 -- 00:58:43,011

Oh, jeez, it's hot.

788

00:
58:43,322 -- 00:58:44,608

It's not decaf, is it?

789

00:
58:44,794 -- 00:58:46,511

It should be, but it isn't.

790

00:
58:49,925 -- 00:58:52,346

That's not bad. Thank you...

791

00:
58:52,538 -- 00:58:54,036

...son.

792

00:
58:54,258 -- 00:58:57,105

- You're welcome.

- Where's your brother?

793

00:
58:57,266 -- 00:58:59,225

I sent him away.

He wasn't feeling well.

794

00:
58:59,417 -- 00:59:02,088

- You know how he is, he worries.

- Yeah, I know.

795

00:
59:02,275 -- 00:59:04,202

He gets that from your mother,

I'm afraid.

796

00:
59:04,918 -- 00:59:06,266

She always worried too much.

797

00:
59:06,452 -- 00:59:08,012

What are you looking at?

798

00:
59:08,757 -- 00:59:10,411

Oh, yeah, here, take a gander.

799

00:
59:10,600 -- 00:59:13,701

It's a proposal for a museum.

800

00:
59:13,888 -- 00:59:16,829

- Who is it?

- Someone new.

801

00:
59:17,664 -- 00:59:20,703

Oh, I like the walkways,

where the light falls.

802

00:
59:20,890 -- 00:59:22,389

What are the materials?

803

00:
59:22,764 -- 00:59:24,599

Granite. Aluminum.

804

00:
59:24,793 -- 00:59:27,063

White panels

are straight out of Meier...

805

00:
59:27,248 -- 00:59:31,239

...but the interior color coming through

the front windows, that's different.

806

00:
59:32,011 -- 00:59:35,080

It's not new,

but it's clean, uncluttered.

807

00:
59:35,298 -- 00:59:36,857

I like it.

808

00:
59:37,385 -- 00:59:40,202

When was the last time

you were in Barcelona?

809

00:
59:41,840 -- 00:59:44,113

Years ago, with you, Mom and Henry.

810

00:
59:44,299 -- 00:59:46,718

Do you remember visiting

Casa de la Caritat?

811

00:
59:47,800 -- 00:59:49,298

The almshouse.

812

00:
59:49,490 -- 00:59:51,763

That's right. You mentioned Meier.

813

00:
59:51,948 -- 00:59:56,463

His Barcelona museum stands

in the same area as Casa de la Caritat.

814

00:
59:56,649 -- 00:59:58,479

It drinks the same light.

815

00:
59:58,674 -- 01:00:03,189

Meier designed a series of louvered

skylights to capture that light...

816

01:
00:03,407 -- 01:00:07,793

...and cast it inward to illuminate

the art within, but indirectly.

817

01:
00:08,013 -- 01:00:12,613

And that was important,

because although light enhances art...

818

01:
00:12,805 -- 01:00:17,227

...it can also degrade it. But you know

all that already, you son of a gun.

819

01:
00:17,385 -- 01:00:19,131

Now, this...

820

01:
00:20,916 -- 01:00:22,781

...where do you suppose

this is to be built?

821

01:
00:22,944 -- 01:00:23,918

I have no idea.

822

01:
00:24,081 -- 01:00:26,322

- Oh, but you said you liked it.

- Conceptually.

823

01:
00:26,477 -- 01:00:28,527

Now, come on.

824

01:
00:28,748 -- 01:00:31,200

You know as well as I do

that the light in Barcelona...

825

01:
00:31,392 -- 01:00:33,569

...is quite different

from the light in Tokyo.

826

01:
00:33,726 -- 01:00:36,576

And the light in Tokyo

is different from that in Prague.

827

01:
00:36,768 -- 01:00:42,287

A truly great structure, one that

is meant to stand the tests of time...

828

01:
00:42,480 -- 01:00:44,774

...never disregards its environment.

829

01:
00:44,970 -- 01:00:46,625

An architect takes that into account.

830

01:
00:46,814 -- 01:00:51,169

He knows that if he wants presence,

he must consult with nature.

831

01:
00:51,358 -- 01:00:55,413

He must be captivated by the light.

832

01:
00:55,567 -- 01:00:59,004

Always the light. Always.

833

01:
01:50,187 -- 01:01:52,301

Hey. I have an emergency.

Take my shift. Please.

834

01:
01:56,914 -- 01:01:58,318

Hello.

835

01:
01:58,512 -- 01:02:00,933

i- Mr. Wyler?/i

- Yes.

836

01:
02:01,124 -- 01:02:04,065

iThis is Dr. Klyczynski/i

iat Chicago City Hospital./i

837

01:
02:04,747 -- 01:02:07,963

iI'm afraid I have some/i

idifficult news for you./i

838

01:
02:10,555 -- 01:02:12,909

iI'm so sorry, Alex./i

839

01:
02:14,053 -- 01:02:16,904

iI wish somehow/i

iI could be there with you.../i

840

01:
02:17,403 -- 01:02:20,808

i... that we could sit together and look/i

iout over the water and the light.../i

841

01:
02:21,030 -- 01:02:23,699

i... in this house your father built./i

842

01:
02:26,465 -- 01:02:29,106

iI could be a shoulder for you/i

ilike you've been for me./i

843

01:
02:29,323 -- 01:02:32,204

iAnd tell you that/i

ieverything is gonna be okay./i

844

01:
02:33,961 -- 01:02:36,569

iIf I could do one thing for you today.../i

845

01:
02:36,756 -- 01:02:38,652

i... from here.../i

846

01:
02:38,846 -- 01:02:42,156

i... one small, simple thing/i

ifrom the future.../i

847

01:
02:42,718 -- 01:02:44,548

i... I hope this is it./i

848

01:
02:45,849 -- 01:02:48,362

iIt won't be published/i

ifor a couple of years.../i

849

01:
02:48,553 -- 01:02:51,004

i... but I don't think/i

iyou should have to wait that long./i

850

01:
02:52,578 -- 01:02:55,309

iI hope it helps you know/i

ihow much you were loved./i

851

01:
04:31,462 -- 01:04:33,672

Pick a place. I'll be there, I promise.

852

01:
04:33,890 -- 01:04:35,116

Tomorrow, what do you say?

853

01:
04:35,303 -- 01:04:36,990

But, Alex,

it won't be tomorrow for you.

854

01:
04:37,178 -- 01:04:40,308

- You're gonna have to wait two years.

- I know, I don't care. I'll wait.

855

01:
04:40,493 -- 01:04:41,720

Are you sure? I don't know.

856

01:
04:41,907 -- 01:04:44,180

I do. I've never been so sure

of anything in my life.

857

01:
04:44,365 -- 01:04:47,246

Okay. I'll see you in two years, then.

858

01:
04:47,438 -- 01:04:49,520

See you tomorrow, then.

859

01:
04:49,893 -- 01:04:51,454

Kate...

860
