White Noise 2: The Light
You'll like this. I guarantee it.
Yes!
Oh, Abe, I love this.
Well, you loved it
when you picked it out.
- OK, open yours.
- I will.
- Did you know?
- No.
- He didn't tell you?
- No! I swear to God.
Like father, like son.
The two of you are from the same mould.
Happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary.
Are you OK?
- You were tossing and turning all night.
- I know. I don't know what this is.
Come on. Let's go get some breakfast.
- Danny, are you hungry?
- Yeah, sure.
Come on. Let's get something to eat.
Danny, if you're gonna
play with your food,
at least you've gotta have fun doing it.
There. How's that?
- Are you OK, buddy?
- I don't feel so good.
Honey, are you all right?
Come on, let's get out of here.
Can I get some help over here?
Just relax. Sit down.
Here, let me help.
I'm so sorry.
It's the whys that are killing me.
Why were we in that restaurant
on that day at that hour?
Why did that lunatic get it into his head
to kill my wife and my son?
Why not kill me, too?
I mean, he leaves me behind?
Why?
It's just so...
random.
Nice job.
I'm the king.
Here, Dad's gonna catch you.
- You better throw far.
- Don't kill me.
What could go wrong?
Careful.
I see you.
My dad taught me to swim.
Would you consider Dad
tall or short? Very short?
We short people have thick skin cos
it doesn't get stretched over a tall frame.
The reason my wife and son
were murdered...
was because of me.
Because I wasn't able to help them
when they needed me most.
Happy anniversary.
I should've saved them.
I should've saved them.
Slow motion.
Yes!
The winner. The winner!
I know this is upsetting,
but I have to be with my wife and son.
Goodbye.
Christ, Abe, don't do anything
foolish, all right? I'm coming right over.
- Is this our OD?
- Yeah.
- You know how many of these he took?
- I don't know, man.
Get him on an lV.
Start him on normal saline.
Pulse rate 47 and dropping.
- Putting a line in.
- He's crashing.
Give him atropine. Saline wide open.
- Give him the full amp.
- We're losing him.
- Asystole.
- Checking respirations.
Starting CPR. Come on.
- He's dying.
- Come on.
- He's still in V-fib.
- No pulse.
- Did you give him the full amp?
- Yes. He's not responding.
Come back to us. Continue compressions.
No response. Do you wanna call it?
Could be fine V-fib. Give me the paddles.
Charge to 200.
Charged to 200.
Clear.
- 300.
- 300.
Clear.
- 360.
- 360.
Clear.
- We've got a sinus rhythm.
- Pressure's climbing.
We're getting a response.
It's OK. We brought you back.
Check his oxygen saturation.
Oxygen saturation is good.
Blood pressure is 140 over 60.
Hi. You're awake.
I'm Sherry Clarke.
You're in Saint Elizabeth's lCU.
- Are you my doctor?
- Better. I'm your nurse.
The light hurts my eyes.
- How long have I been here?
- A couple of days.
Dr Karras has been keeping an eye
on you. You're his latest project.
Do you wanna watch some TV?
- Anything in particular?
- No.
Oh, dude, you lucked out.
This is my favourite movie of all time.
We belong dead.
Hello, Abe. I'm Dr Karras.
I'm just gonna have a little look.
- Are you OK?
- I've been better.
Remember why you're here?
You were legally dead, but, lucky for you,
modern medicine knows no limits.
- I died?
- Technically speaking. You had an NDE.
- I don't know what that is.
- Near-death experience.
It's my field of expertise. I fought to make
sure you were my patient. Let me guess.
You saw a white light that engulfed you,
almost seemed to beckon you to stay.
Yeah, that's exact...
How did you know that?
As many as eight out of ten people who've
had an NDE report seeing a white light.
- Freaky, huh?
- What about the light I'm seeing now?
- It's probably an aura, a type of residue.
- So it's normal?
I'd say we're well beyond
the bounds of normal here, but yes.
You'll see 'em less frequently as time
passes and eventually they'll disappear.
She's with us.
She's with us.
She's with us.
So everything looks fine.
No masses, no deviations
in your intracranial space.
But I've seen it three times
in the past few days.
- Seen what?
- The white light.
And there's something else.
You're gonna think I'm crazy, but, um...
I'm seeing and hearing
all kinds of electrical stuff.
EVP stands for
electronic voice phenomena.
Precognition, the light you're seeing,
all that is part of supernatural white noise.
- I've got a grant to study these things.
- So EVP, what exactly is it?
It's the recording of the deceased using
a detuned apparatus like a TV or radio.
Some people believe that EVP
is the afterlife manifest all around us.
Others think it's a charge
or electromagnetic fields,
still others that it's a means through
which the dead can communicate with us.
Frankly, who knows? As long as
we're not exactly sure what it is,
they'll keep funding my grant.
What are you doing down here?
This... is my EVP room.
These have been detuned and I record 'em
to see if I've captured any transmissions.
I suppose that's an important part
of your work, then?
That? Oh.
No, I didn't want to detune that one.
That's Change of Habit.
I'm recording it for research purposes.
I thought I might learn something
from Dr Presley.
- You're not a fan of this one?
- No, it's just...
I just saw one of those things
on the screen.
Transmissions are only visible
after they've been recorded.
On the last close-up of Elvis,
I saw a blast of static with
what looked like an unformed person.
- So what are you doing now?
- I've rewound the feed, I'll detune it.
Let's see if you really saw something.
There. There, that's it. That's it.
That was it. That's what I saw.
- I'll be damned.
- So what does that mean?
Maybe when you had your NDE,
you yourself became a detuned receiver.
You see white-noise transmissions, EVP,
communications with the dead, all that,
without any of this.
You're in uncharted territory.
There's a very good chance you're
going to be seeing some wacky stuff.
I've got to go.
I've got a doctor's appointment.
Sure. Take all the time you need.
Hey, I'm still saving all the clippings
and articles about the shooting and stuff.
I don't want to hear about the day my wife
and son were brutally murdered, OK?
I just can't handle that right now. I...
I refuse.
Hi. Dr Karras asked...
What's wrong?
Dr Karras is dead.
- What?
- He had a heart attack early this morning.
I'm sorry.
- OK, so this...
- EVP.
EVP.
It draws your attention to the white light.
When you see the light, you think
it means... What do you think it means?
That somebody's gonna die. Like with
Dr Karras, it could be a couple of days.
With the woman, it could be hours,
just depending on how strong the light is.
I don't know, but I'm seeing it more and
it's driving me nuts. It's like being God.
- I'm worried about you, Abe.
- Well, how would you explain it, then?
How about, "l don't know"?
In a city, we probably cross paths with
