What Dreams May Come Page #3

'you wouldn't have been|in the tunnel.

'A whole family lost|in car crashes.

'Enough to make a person|buy a bike.'

[Chris] Where are they going?

- To help others be reborn.|- Really? Reincarnation?

Albert says to cheer you up.

- You have difficulty...|- ..losing my wife, yeah.

- And your children?|- They died years ago.

That's why I'm worried|about my wife.

They died|in a terrible collision.

The nanny was driving.|It wasn't her fault.

And your wife?

My daughter|had asked her to drive.

[Children's laughter]

It was a trucker's fault.

But my wife believed|that if she'd been driving,

her protective instincts|would have...

Are you OK?

Come on, Katie!

[Leona] Where were you just now?

Your mind's been wandering|all afternoon.

Thinking of someone.

Your wife must have loved|her children very much.

Very much.

But you don't have to break|in half to love somebody.

Tell me a memory of your own.

Say, with your daughter.

Hey...|That's somebody else's art.

What's the difference?|You weren't looking anyway.

Your move.

Is this where we go when we die?

It's a dream, baby.|It's beautiful,

- but you know, dreams...|- ..I know, aren't real.

- It's after midnight.|- I haven't won yet.

- It's your first time.|- No, I like that.

Means you're not cheating.|And when I win, I really win.

I wanna play till I do.

- Unless you wanna stop.|- No. Let's play till you win.

'She died three months later.'

We played every night.

It meant the world to me.

She never won.

I didn't look like this|in the body, you know.

We flew to Singapore once.|And...

..my daddy smiled at|the flight attendant who...

looked like this|and wore this name tag.

He said Asian women are so...

lovely...and graceful...

- and intelligent.|- He didn't mean only.

I know.|It was something he said.

And I thought, when I grow up,|I wanna be that.

You still play chess?

I think I waited for my partner.

'I swear that California|is the strangest place.

'They push you into it

'so you can do it before|your shrink commits you.

'Thoughtful legislation there.

'Mine is suspicious.

'Another week,|he might commit me.

'For my own safety.

'I had the husband|I was meant to have.

'Two spectacular children.

'Blessings no one would|dare expect from life.

'And the truth is, simply...

'that it's over.

'Just this one loose end|to ravel up.

'I didn't get to say goodbye.|You're dead and I blew that.

'I don't get to say goodbye.

'But I'll tell you what -

'across whatever|distance there is,

'I send you my love.'

Hey.

- Where were you?|- Far away.

I got called back.|I was working.

There are no words|to thank you.

For finding Marie.

[Sighs]

- Is she OK?|- She's fine.

You'll see her soon.

She sends her love.|Especially now.

We'll go through|something very hard right now.

I'm with you. You're not alone.

Annie is dead.

She killed herself.

It's nothing I ever expected.

Like I said, you don't know us.

Is that an occupational hazard|of soulmates?

One's not much|without the other?

But she's OK.

Because her pain is over.

- You don't understand.|- She won't cling like me.

- When do I see her?|- Never.

You'll never see her.|Suicides go somewhere else.

- Why are you punishing her?|- It's not punishment.

- She's suffered enough.|- There are no judges or crimes.

Everybody's equal.|That's the way things work!

And suicides go to hell?.

No goddamn judgment in that!

You wanna fight?

You can hide from it|or understand it.

"Hell" is for those|who don't know they're dead.

They can't realise what|they've done or what's happened.

- Too self-absorbed that they...|- Self-absorbed?!

That doesn't apply|to Annie, all right?

No, it doesn't.|Suicides are different.

They don't go to hell because|they're immoral or selfish.

There's a natural order|to our journey.

Annie has violated that.

She won't face it.

She won't realise,|accept what she's done.

She will spend eternity|playing that out.

- You still say she's in hell.|- Everybody's hell is different.

Real hell|is your life gone wrong.

I'm her soul mate.|I can find her.

- You don't understand how...|- It's not about understanding!

It's about not giving up.

You said there are no rules.|And the tree?

You were pretty surprised then.|Hey, if there are no rules,

how can you say|ALL suicides are the same?

- I can't, I can't.|- OK.

-Or she doesn't know she's dead?|-I can't.

No one has ever seen|a suicide brought back!

Stick around, Chief.|You ain't seen nothing yet.

OK. You deserve your chance.|We'll find a tracker.

Hey!

This the guy|who doesn't give up?

Anyone tell you too much|persistence can get stupid?

- Constantly.|- I hear the same thing.

I also hear I read too slow.

I don't need glasses. Eyes being|a figment of my imagination.

You'll hear a lot|of smart stuff here.

It's usually right.

- Don't let it screw you up.|- I won't.

Your wife love you as strong?

We'll find her.

But when you find her...

nothing will make her|recognise you.

Nothing will break her denial.

It's stronger than her love.

In fact, reinforced by her love.

You can say everything|you long to say.

Including goodbye.

Even if she can't understand it.

You'll have the satisfaction|that you didn't give up.

That has to be enough.

Get me there.|I decide what's enough.

When do we leave?

Close your eyes.

- [Chris] Albert's a sweet kid.|- [Tracker] He is that.

There's a tenderness|I never knew in life.

I didn't know him|when he was young.

Were you proud of your own kids?

Of course.

That's an easy bullshit answer.

Think about it.

I said "Of course."

I like this sore point.

It's juice, juice is strong.|It connects.

Makes you|a better receiver for Annie.

She's the transmitter,|sending thoughts of you.

- What did you do when alive?|- You mean the last time?

We can be reborn.|But only if we choose to.

- I did the same work...|- You were a shrink!

Fairly perceptive.

- Oh, my God.|- You expected physical danger?

What could it do, kill you?

No, in hell,|there's real danger.

Of losing your mind.

[Screaming]

[Annie] Because|he's drowning, that's why.

- He's 13 years old!|- I know.

He needs to hang out|with his friends.

Veg out in front of the TV,|read a f***ing book he likes!

- He doesn't wanna let me down?|- No, it's worse...

He's so into you, he feels|he's letting himself down.

He thinks he's sh*t.

How sick is that?

How can you take me|out of school?.

How can you?

This is my life!

Don't you think|I can make it?

- If I really dig in...|- You have to show me more!

Come on! You're blowing it, Ian!

I'm not you!

[Moaning]

[Chris] Shipwrecks...|What is this place?

[Tracker]|The gateway to hell.

How are we doing?|Picking up any signals?

Actually...not a ripple.

That's because|I was thinking of somebody else.

It's a slap in the face|when you see kids taking a test

and they're breezing through it.

And for you|it just...kinda goes.

Every day I see...

how I'm not as good|as you and everyone else.

But that doesn't mean I give up.
