"The timing is right, we can dig deeper." "I want to dig into his past." "Vichy, the Elf scandal...." "What part did he play?" "The Taiwan frigates, the Papon scandal Mazarine, Marguerite Duras." "These stories were never really addressed." "They've all been buried." "I'm going to tell who knew, who didn't talk." "[Speaking In French] Isn't that going to bring us too much controversy?" "[Speaking In French] I don't think so." "What I want is a book that can be read by all." "Mitterrand was not just a politician." "Mitterrand was an icon." "He's "Tonton," our uncle!"

"[Answering Machine Beeps]" "[George] Sorry about that." "Uh...." " What gift?" " Oh, nothing." "Don't worry about it." "No, I mean, I'm interested." "Well, the job I had before, it was as a psychic." "I know, but...." " What?" " But it's true." "I had an illness as a child and I had an infection, which turned into a fever which turned into inflammation of my brain and spinal cord." "It's called encephalomyelitis." "And they had to operate, in the back, here." "It was a complicated procedure." "It was eight hours." "And they nearly lost me." "Actually, technically, they did lose me and bring me back on a number of occasions." "Anyway, they cured the illness but they must've messed up something else while they were back there, because not long after, I started to have these migraines." "And then nightmares." "And then these connections." "And one day I'm sitting with a friend, and I had a vision of a woman a crystal-clear vision." "And I described her to him." "And turned out it was an exact description of his mother, someone I'd never met who'd died the previous week." "And you're not laughing yet." "No, I'm not." "Well, anyway, I assumed it was some kind of a coincidence." "But as time went on, I began having more and more of these things, connections." "So the doctors ran a bunch of tests." "They told my parents that I'd developed something called passive schizophrenia." "They gave me a bunch of pills and, you know, the pills stopped the visions but they pretty much stopped everything else also so I had this choice." "I was either gonna live my life with these hallucinations with apparently no way of switching it off." "Or I could have no life at all." "Oh, my God." "See, there, now I've been neglecting my duties." "Could I ask you a question?" "You know, these are probably ready to go in." "George?" "Would it be okay if I told you the answer was no?" "You don't even know what I was gonna ask." "Yes, I do." "You're gonna ask me if I can do a reading for you." "Look, Melanie, I barely know you but I like you a lot." "Really, a lot." "Is there any way we could pretend that maybe we go back in time and just forget about the phone ringing, and my brother's message..." " ...and we never had this conversation?" " Why?" "If we open the door and go down that road any chance that we had of having something normal will just be gone." "It just will." "Believe me." "I have enough experience of that now." "I mean, sometimes, I mean...." "You know, knowing everything about someone, it's..." "You know, it seems nice, but, really maybe it's actually better to hold stuff back." "I hear you." "But you can understand." "I'm curious." "No, of course." "I mean, yeah." "Yeah." "Please?" "[Whoosh]" "Okay." "Come on." "Here, take a seat." "[Melanie] Okay." "I'm gonna take your hands for a second, to get a connection and then I'll let go, and I'll just ask you a couple questions." "All right." "Okay." "Give me your hands." "Okay." "[Whoosh]" "Okay." "There's a woman." "And she's tall." "Thin." "She has brown hair." "Do you know who I'm talking about?" "Is this woman your mother?" "Yes." "And I'm feeling a pain in my chest." "Yeah." "That's how she died." "Of a heart attack." "I'm sorry." "Okay." "You ready to eat?" "There's not something else?" " No, there's nothing..." " No, no, no, I can tell." "Please, there is, I can tell." "I mean, what's the matter?" "You don't think I could handle it?" "All right, um...." "When you touched me before, there was a...." "There was a man." "Dark hair." "My father." "He passed away not too long ago?" " Last year." " And...." "All he kept saying, all I kept hearing was..." "Was what?" "How sorry he was." "What for?" "For what he did to you all that time ago." "And he hoped that you could one day forgive him." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry. ...for pressing you like that." "Maybe we shouldn't have gone there." "I don't know what to say." "Except if I...." "If I go now if we draw a line under this pretend it never happened we'll be okay." "I'm sure." "Good." "Good." "We still have the competition to win." "Right?" "Right." "I should've listened to you." "You know, too much knowledge and all that." "I'll see you next week." "Yeah, you betcha." "[Sobbing]" "[Man Over Speakers] The old, unhappy feeling that had once pervaded my life came back like an unwelcome visitor, and deeper than ever." "It addressed me like a strain of sorrowful music a hopeless consciousness of all that I had lost all that I had ever loved."

"Darkness everywhere." "And a light was catching my eyes." "And I was hearing the sound of a gentle wind." "[Rousseau] Mm-hm." "A feeling of weightlessness?" "Yes." "A 360 perspective?" "No sense of linear time or motion?" "Yes." "But all-knowing, all-sensing?" "Exactly." " Would you care for some tea?" " Thank you." "You know, as a scientist and atheist my mind was closed to such things." "Oh, absolutely." "Afterlife, near-death experiences." "Like everyone else, I thought people saw bright lights Eden-like gardens and so forth because they were culturally conditioned to do so." "But after 25 years in a hospice working with people, many of whom were pronounced dead but then miraculously survived the account of what they actually experienced were so strikingly similar it couldn't just be coincidence." "And add to that the fact that when they had these experiences they were almost all unconscious a state in which my enemies agree the brain cannot create fresh images." "So you think I really did experience something?" "Oh, yes." "I think you experienced death." "It's all here." "I'm afraid if your journey is anything like mine, it won't be an easy one." "It's a lonely field to plow." "People get quite irrational around this subject." "Quite hostile, even." "But the evidence is irrefutable." "I tried." "You know, perhaps someone like you in your position, and with your influence, can change that." "I hope you can." "Thank you." "[Rousseau] Good luck." "I'll send it back when I'm done."
