Oh, my baby.

Noah, Noah.

I love you, Angel.

- What happened to me?

- Nothing.

You just went away

for a little while.

- How much time do we have?

- I'm not sure.

Last time it was no more

than five minutes.

Okay.

Hey, I brought along

an old friend.

# I'll be seeing you #

# In all the old

familiar places #

# That this heart

of mine embraces #

# All day through #

# In that small cafe... #

- How are the children?

- Oh, they're fine.

Now,

they were here today...

Little Noah, Davanee too.

They're getting so big.

- #... carousel, the chestnut trees #

- Oh, boy.

- # The wishing well... #

- How fast the time goes.

Mm-hmm.

It flies right on by.

Oh yes, it does.

# In every lovely

summer's day... #

Will you tell them

I love them?

- # That's light and gay #

- Of course I will.

- # I'll always #

- And that I'm sorry.

# Think of you that way #

- I'll tell them, sweetheart.

- # I'll find you #

# In the morning sun #

# And when

the night is new #

# I'll be looking at the moon #

# But I'll be seeing you... #

Remember that story you were

reading to me?

Why, yes.

Do you think that

I could be her tonight?

Would that be

all right?

You know what

we could do?

Maybe we could get a car

and we could go for a ride.

Why could get out of here

and just go someplace, you want to?

I don't think so.

Not tonight, darling.

Come on, why not?

Wait a minute...

why did you call me darling?

I don't know you.

What's going on here?

Am I supposed to know you?

- Allie... Allie, sweetheart.

- No, no, no!

Hey, Allie, I love you,

stay with me, don't leave...

No!

- Who are you?

- I'm Noah, I'm Noah and you're Allie.

What do you want?

What are you doing here?

- Come on, baby.

- Don't come near me!

- Don't you come near me!

- Allie... Allie, I...

Help! Help!

- Help me!

- Calm down, Allie, calm down.

No, no, not you!

Calm down, Allie! It's all right, sugar,

come on.

- No! Let me go!

- It's all right, baby. Just calm down!

- No! Leave me alone.

- Calm down, Allie, it's all right.

- Somebody help me!

- Now calm down.

- Help!

- Doctor!

Talk to me.

- Somebody help me!

- Calm down!

- Give her two cc's.

- No! No!

Calm down, Allie.

- Calm down, Allie, yes.

- One, two...

...three.

- Allie, it's all right. It's all right.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, now take a look.

Let's take a look.

One... oh, she's fine.

- Good. Just breathe.

- She's fine. She's fine.

Stay calm, just breathe

in and out, come on.

- Relax...

- You're going to be okay, Allie.

- Relax.

- Allie?

You're fine, honey.

Shh...

# I'll be seeing you #

# In every lovely

summer's day #

# In everything

that's light and gay #

# I'll always think

of you that way #

# I'll find you

in the morning sun #

# And when

the night is new... #

# I'll be looking

at the moon #

# But I'll be seeing you #

# I'll be seeing you #

# I'll be seeing you. #

Morning, Mr. Calhoun.

Mr. Calhoun?

Call Dr. Von Pettit

and USC, okay?

I've got no BP, I got no pulse.

I've got nothing.

Let them know we are in full arrest.

Call me on my cell.

Okay, will do.

We talked about this.

It's all right now.

Come on, come on, precious.

Okay, yes,

come on, let's go.

It's okay, baby,

come on.

You know Mr. Holmes.

Just try it.

Oh, Mr. Calhoun.

Welcome back.

- How do you feel?

- Fine. Fit as a fiddle.

- Where you going?

- I was just taking a walk.

I can't sleep.

Well, you know you're not supposed to,

it's against the rules.

Yeah, I know.

You weren't really

going for a walk, were you?

You were going

to see Miss Allie.

I just got out

of the hospital

and I miss her.

Mr. Calhoun,

I'm sorry, but I can't

let you see her tonight.

Now you're gonna have

to go back to your room.

As for me,

I'm gonna

go downstairs

and get myself

a cup of coffee.

I won't be back

to check on you for a while,

so don't

do anything foolish.

Hi.

Noah.

Noah.

Hi, sweetheart.

I'm sorry I haven't

been able to be here to read to you.

I didn't know

what to do.

I was afraid

you were never coming back.

I'll always come back.

What's gonna happen

when I can't

remember anything anymore?

What will you do?

I'll be here.

I'll never leave you.

I need to ask

you something.

What is it,

sweetheart?

Do you think

that our love

can create miracles?

Yes, I do.

That's what brings

you back to me each time.

Do you think our love

could take us

away together?

I think our love

can do anything we want it to.

I love you.

I love you, Allie.

Good night.

Good night.

I'll be seeing you.
