"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 IV." "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." "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 ICU." " 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, "I don't know"?" "In a city, we probably cross paths with people who are about to die all the time." " We just don't know it." " But what if I do, Marty?" "What if I do know when somebody will die?" " And now you've got this superpower?" " It's not a superpower." "Call it what you want, but that sure as hell sounds like superhero bullshit to me." "Stop talking all this nonsense." "Come on, you stupid thing." "Get over the track." " Oh, you've got to be kidding me." " Come on!" "Hey!" "You've gotta move!" "Come on!" "Get out of there!" "Move!" "Hey!" " Get outta there!" " I can't!" "My foot's caught!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Get off the track!" "Move!" "I'm so sorry." " Yeah?" " How'd you feel about me dropping by?" "Abe, uh..." "Yeah, sure." "When?" "How does right freaking now grab you?" "Thanks." "What the?" "No way." "Son of a bitch." "Excuse me, sir" " Dammit." " You should get out." "Beat it, kid." "I've dropped a couple of lug nuts." "I think I can handle it." "I don't think that bumper is gonna hold." "Look, I don't need some dipshit kid telling me what to do, OK?" "So you can take your metrosexual ass back to your yuppie car and..." " Whoa!" " What are you doing?" " The bumper was gonna..." " Get away from me." "I owe you my life." "No, Marty, I swear to God, I am fine." "All right." "All right, but maybe you should..." "I don't know, take a little time off or something, you know." " I don't want you overdoing it." " All right." "I'll think about it." "Thanks." "You saved somebody's life tonight." " Would you consider Dad tall?" " No, no, short." "Very short?" " No offence." " We short people have thick skin cos it doesn't get stretched over a tall frame." "Yeah." "True." "There's the Austrian coach." "Looks like she's trying to throw him." "Ha!" "Nice job!" "Shit!" " Two weeks?" "That's so far." " I know." " I'll have to come." " Yeah." "Ugh!" "OK." "Three-martini lunches, here I come." "I'll be right there to put the easy into listening." " Jesus Christ!" " I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." " Don't worry." "You can make it up to me." " Just take it easy." "I might even let you pick up overtime in my hotel room, you know what I mean?" " Hey, come on." " Just leave it." "All right, that's enough." " Stop it!" " Get him!" "Stop it, you're hurting him!" "Stop it, you're hurting him!" "Hey!" "Hey!" " Hey!" " Shit!" "Guys, guys!" "Hey!" " Help!" "Help!" " Let's go." "I'm slipping!" "Please, pull me up." "Pull me up!" "Are you OK?" "Yeah, he's gonna be fine." "Me, I'm not so sure about." "Abe, I missed you at work today." "I guess you decided to take that time off." "Give me a call when you get a chance, all right?" "Later." "Playing God for another day." " Hello?" " Hey, Marty." "I'm on my way to the hospital to check on that kid I helped earlier." " Would you meet me there?" " Uh, yeah." "Sure." "Great." "And... that stuff you're holding for me, will you bring it?" "I'm ready." " OK, sure." " Thanks." "Hey." "Hey." " Thank you very much for meeting me." " No problem, man." "There are things in here that are gonna reopen wounds." " Are you sure you're ready?" " I'm positive." " OK." " Thanks." " Hey, call me if you need anything." " I will." "Hey there." " Oh, hey." "Mr Dale." " I was checking to see how Kurt's doing." "Needed stitches, a few scrapes, bruises, and we're doing a keep overnight to make sure there's no concussion but he should be fine." "Thanks." "Oh, come on." "Not a word." "You bitch!" "Hey." "Hey, are you OK?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I think you just saved my life." "Well, it's beginning to be a fucking habit." "Trust me, it's no big deal." " Dude, it was my life." " Well, I didn't mean it like that." "It's you." "Yeah." "Yeah, you were my nurse." "It's busted." "I'm so sorry." "That's OK." " You're hurt." "Let me look." " It's fine." "Hey." "Let me fix you up." "It's the least I can do." "Come on." "It's a superficial laceration." "Nothing a few stitches and antibiotics can't take care of." "You are either staring at my ring or admiring my rack." "Which is it?" " The ring." "I was..." " I'm just kidding." "It's my old wedding ring." "My husband died a couple of years ago so I like to keep it close to my heart." "You must have loved him very much." "Yeah." "He was a music teacher at Sacred Heart Elementary, and those kids adored him." "He had a unique approach." "No doh-ray-mi crap." "He'd organise this recital every year, have the kids sing Bowie, Pink Floyd, Rush, The Beach Boys, Jane's Addiction." " You name it." " Sounds amazing." "Yeah." "It was incredible." "But the end just..." "It came so quick." "One day we're just living, you know?" "Then, boom, he's dead." "That's terrible." "Yeah." "But..." "I wake up and it just hit me." "I had to let Tommy go." "I'll see him again someday." "Until then, you have to accept what it's supposed to be about." " Did you two have any kids?" " No." "No." "But I still put on the recital every year in his honour." "The next one's in a couple of days." " And you should totally come." " Maybe." "Here." "Take this." "Think it over." "Call me if you're interested." "Hey, the cops are here." "Yeah." "Tell them their timing sucks." "Is this the present you got Dad for your anniversary?" "Can I see it?" "Can I?" "I don't suppose your dad put you up to this, did he?" "No way." "Just wondering is all." "I bet it's that watch he wanted, right?" "You tell your dad that he's just gonna have to wait." "Besides, it's just a few days away." " Are you all right?" " I'm OK, Mom." "That man saved our lives." "Thank you!" "That's all right." "That's all right." "Henry Caine." "Should not have saved." "Should not have saved." "Should not have saved." "Should not have saved." "Should not... have saved." " Julia Caine?" "My name is Abraham..." " Abraham Dale." "I always knew you'd come." "Please, come on in." "Excuse the mess." "We're moving." "I am so sorry for what my husband did to your wife and son." "Henry was the most down-to-earth, don't- question-things guy you could ever meet." "So, uh... so what happened, then?" "He, uh... he had a near-death experience." "He was hit by a drunk driver head-on." "He must have died three times that night." "They finally revived him in the early hours and then we brought him home a week later." "That's when it all began - the strange behaviour, the weird ideas about life, about death." "He just got so obsessed with the paranormal." "EVP, the white light, precognition, all that kind of stuff." "He even thought he could save people." "At first I thought it was understandable." "This man almost died." "But then it just got to be too much." "What do you mean by too much?" "I'll show you." "You see?" "I'll leave you to it." "Oh, shit!" "Henry was always blowing fuses in here." "Really?" "Hm." "Um..." "Do you have any idea what the e stands for?" "No." "Would you mind if I took some of this stuff to look over?" "Sure." "I don't want any of it." "Look, I am sorry again for what my husband did." "I can't believe how far gone he is." " "Is"?" "What are you talking about?" " What do you mean?" " You said "is"." " And?" "Don't you mean "was"?" ""How far gone he was"?" "You don't know?" " Henry's still alive." " I saw him pull the trigger." "He survived." "He's over at Belmont County." "The asylum." "We keep him up here." "He's been with us a couple of months, since he slipped out of coma land." "If you ask me, he ain't never gonna see a courtroom." "Why?" "Old Henry... he sees dead people." "Don't mind me." "I'm just gonna stick around and make sure you boys play nice." "My wife and my son." "Why did you do it?" "Why did you kill them?" "If save, must kill." "Jesus, you're even crazier than I thought you'd be." "If save, responsible." "Responsible for what?" "Consequences." "Horrific consequences." "What consequences?" "It will never end if you let him in." "You cannot shut the dead out." "The dead will haunt you until you put right what you've done." "If you save, you must... you must kill." "Tria Mera." "Tria Mera." " Trio what?" " Tria Mera!" "If save, must kill." "If save, must kill." "If save, must kill." "If save, must kill!" "It's a three." "What does a three have to do with the devil's signature?" " Hi, Abe." " Hi." "So I just finished the rehearsals for that recital thingy I was telling you about, so I was basically in the neighbourhood, and, uh..." "Hi." " I hope you don't mind that I stopped by." " No, no." "I don't..." "I don't mind." "Um..." "But why?" "When... is the last time you drank a cheap bottle of wine?" "That's very kind, but you really don't have to do that." "I know I don't have to." "I want to." "I'm married." "But thank you." "Abe, I read your file." "I know why you were in the ICU when we first met." "I know what happened to Rebecca and Danny." "You saved my life the other night." "I'd love to return the favour." " I like the hair colour." " Purple was good, but..." " It goes with the wine." " Right." "This is great." "It really is." "Thank you very much." " To bad wine and good company." " Oh, it's bad." "You gotta get out and do stuff like this, though." "It's the only way you'll make it through." "Danny and Rebecca were my everything." "And Tommy was mine." "But you can't just throw in the towel, Abe." " Come on." " Where are we going?" "O'Malley's." "I gotta kick your ass in a game of pool to get back the 2.50 I spent on the wine." "2.50?" "You got ripped off." "Eight ball, corner pocket." "OK." "How about double or nothing?" "All right." "Rack 'em up, big boy." " Sorry." " No, it's OK." "No, I, uh..." "I shouldn't have done that." " Not tonight, anyway." " No, it's OK." "It's crazy, but it's OK." "Breaking news." "A tragic accident downtown has left six people dead and several injured." "An elderly man driving an orange van crashed into a crowded bus shelter." "So far..." "Are you OK, Abe?" "Witnesses say the van appeared to deliberately swerve for the commuters..." "Yeah." "Um..." "Sherry, I gotta go." " Is it someone you know?" " Yeah." "I'll call you, OK?" "If save, must kill." "If save, must kill." ""The third day"?" "Authorities found George Sutter in his kitchen, no attempt to cover up his spree." "The bodies of his wife and children were found in their beds, butchered so severely that dental records will be necessary for an ID." "Sutter has no history of domestic violence and, when pressed, could offer no explanation as to..." "Beverly Ann Cloy, a registered nurse for the past 27 years, smothered 14 of her patients this morning." "She then clocked out and calmly..." "There's no explanation why Dickson lost control of the plane absolutely no reason..." "... offer no explanation..." "Always on the third day... after Caine saved them."

"I really shouldn't be doing this, Abe." "Seems to be par for the course with us, Sherry." "Yeah." "OK, Kurt Green." " Sir Alfred Hotel." " Sir Alfred." "Of course." "Thank you, Sherry." " Abe." " Yeah." "Are we OK?" "I hope so." " Bye." " Bye." " Yeah." " Abe, jeez." "Marty, listen, I think I understand why Caine did it." "He thought he had to." "He did it because he thought he had no choice." " Did what?" " I save the man, he takes out a bus stop." "I saved that kid." "I don't know what he's gonna do." "Terrible things happen on the third day after using the light to save somebody." " Are you listening to yourself, man?" " No, you listen." "Maybe it's Lucifer or the devil or these ghosts."
