- Go ahead. - Promise, Mommy?
Coming at you, guys. Coming your way.
You were here Thursday, right? Moving the piano on Thursday too?
- Can I help you, pal? - The kid and the balloon.
The same thing happened on Thursday.
We're a little busy. Why don't you go bother someone else.
Your way, guys. There you go. Watch that paint.
Coming at you.
Christ, where you been?
What happened to you?
I've been calling people all over looking for you.
I was about to call the police.
What happened to you?
I've been calling people all over looking for you.
Christ, where you been?
I've been calling people all over looking for you.
I was about to call the police.
- What's going on, Sam? - I don't know.
No, you've gotta talk to me. I've been up all night.
- What happened to your arm? - Dog bite.
- Dog bite? - I had the shots and painkillers.
- What dog? - I'm seeing things that don't make sense.
I meeting people that are supposed to be dead.
Beth's had a nervous breakdown.
The kid knows what happens before it happens.
His mother thinks I'm her son.
And I saw the same boy lose the same balloon in the same place twice.
- Baby, you're not making any sense. - No, nothing makes any sense.
- You're scaring me. - Nothing makes sense.
Okay, you just need to relax.
- Slow down. - Okay.
- You need to sleep. - Yeah.
No, I can't. I gotta find him. I'm running out of time.
- Just for a while. - You think?
- Lie down. - All right.
All right.
- Maybe just for a little bit. - Okay.
Maybe just a little bit.
Jesus Christ.
I've been looking all over for you.
I want you to come uptown with me. I want you to meet a friend of mine.
I don't want to go uptown.
I met your mother last night.
What do you mean, you met my mother?
You told me she was dead.
She's okay?
Everyone thinks your mother's dead, but I'm in a kitchen talking to her.
- She's gonna be okay? - I don't know.
She's sick or she got hurt somehow. I don't know.
- Is she mad? - The dog seemed pretty fucking mad.
- What dog? - Olive.
Olive?
Hey, we put Olive to sleep when I was 12.
She had a tumor in her liver.
Olive's not dead. She is very much not dead.
Yes, she is, but she was a good girl.
Quit playing with me. I wanna know what's going on.
How do you know the future? I'm trying to help you.
I need some fucking answers.
What happened to your parents?
Look, there are things that you have to tell me.
I mean, if you were just gonna kill yourself, you'd have done it by now.
- So, why haven't you? - So, why haven't you?
- Why do you keep coming to me? - Why do you keep coming to me?
Because you're the only one that can help me.
That's why.
Henry.
I've seen people go through what you're going through.
I've helped them come out the other side.
If you work with me, I can help you.
The way you helped your girl?
It's Lila, right?
I've seen the scars on her wrists.
Did you save her?
She saved herself.
Yeah, but you helped, right?
No. Sometimes suicide is an attempt for attention. With Lila, it wasn't.
She put three 4-inch vertical slits in each wrist.
She split both sets of ulnar and radial arteries.
By the time I got to her, she'd lost five pints of blood.
I pulled her out of the tub, put tourniquets on both arms...
...and called an ambulance.
Aren't you afraid she's gonna do it again?
No.
Why?
Because she loves me.
If she were here, I know she'd say...
...to open your eyes a little wider.
I know she'd tell you that there's too much beauty to quit.
She's probably right.
Anyway...
...it's too late.
Henry?
I can't let you leave. You gotta stay. I gotta take you uptown to meet...
- Get out of my way. - No, you gotta come.
Get out of my way, all right?
- Move, move. - I can't let you.
Let me show you something.
I killed my parents.
I killed my mother and my father.
I'm gonna go to hell.
Or maybe I'm already there, I don't know.
I'm sorry, Sam.
Don't follow me.
Canal Street, a diner.
"Canal Street, a diner." Which diner? There's maybe 20.
I don't know, pick one. Keep the meter running.
Excuse me. Do you have an Athena working here?
Yeah. Athena!
- Yeah, what? - Athena?
What? What do you want?
All right, next one.
All right.
I think there's one more.
We're running out of options. I don't know what you want.
All right, just try one more, please.
Excuse me. Do you have a waitress here named Athena?
- Athena? - Yeah.
No, never heard of her.
- Can I get a coffee, please? - Sure.
Planning on proposing to Athena?
No. Do you know her?
- Are we talking about the same girl? - You a cop?
No, I'm more of a matchmaker.
She doesn't work here anymore, but she's in my acting class.
She is? Could you tell me where she lives?
- What are you, a stalker? - No, no.
I'm a psychiatrist.
See?
You're a psychiatrist, huh? So you could write a Xanax prescription?
I could write a Xanax prescription for one of my patients who needed it, yeah.
Okay. Good luck finding Athena.
- Prison, my lord! - Denmark's a prison.
- Then is the world one. - A goodly one.
In which there are many confines, wards and dungeons...
...Denmark being one of the worst.
We think not so, my lord.
Why, then, 'tis none to you.
For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
To me it is a prison.
Prison, my lord?
Denmark's a prison. We already had this conversation.
Oh, wait a minute.
- "Why, then your ambition..." - Why, then your ambition makes it one.
'Tis too narrow for your mind.
I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space...
...were it not that I have bad dreams.
- That's my favorite line in the play. - It's a good line.
However, my favorite line of the play is:
"O! What a rogue and peasant slave am I."
I have no idea what any of it means, but I love the word "slave." I love it.
I gotta go.
I've got a solo in choir tomorrow morning.
Thanks for reading with me. You're a good Rosencrantz.
I know. Bye.
Hello.
I always pictured Hamlet as a man.
That's a bit narrow-minded of you, isn't it?
This is the lesbian Hamlet. All the parts are played by women.
I'm joking. I'm Ophelia.
I just get so sick of playing her.
Things get tough, she jumps in the drink.
- Hamlet hogs all the good lines. - Well, he's notorious for that.
- We've met before, haven't we? - No, I don't think so.
- I'm Sam Foster. - Athena.
- Hi. - Hi.
Are you joining the class?
No, I've been looking for you, as a matter of fact.
That's flattering. Why?
I'm a psychiatrist, and I have a patient who likes you very much.
Well, that's an unusual way of trying to get a date.
- What's his name? - Henry Letham.
Sounds familiar.
You served him coffee in a diner a couple of times, you were nice to him.
Way he tells it, you're the one good thing that ever happened to him.
Henry. Is he very pale, very thin?
- His arms are scarred? - Yeah, that's him.
He always ate pecan pie with his coffee, I remember that.
But I never spoke to him outside the diner.
- Except... - Yeah? What?
I feel really stupid saying this stuff to a psychiatrist.
- You'll think I'm insane. - No.
I had the strangest feeling about him.
I mean, he's this ragged-looking guy, probably hasn't bathed in months...
...but something about him... I'd seen him before.
- Somewhere, I've known him. - Yeah.
What's wrong with him?
- He's gonna kill himself. - Why?
He thinks he's done something terrible, that's my guess.
I wish there was something I could do, to help but...
Actually, this probably won't help...
...but I did run into him one time at A. Smith's.
- A. Smith's? - The art bookstore.
He was sitting in the back, reading.
I don't know, maybe he hangs out there?
- Where is it? - Nearby. Come on, I'll show you.
Athena?
Athena!
Athena?
Athena? Athena?
I'm just trying to figure out if I'm the king or the farmer.
They're from another life.
Athena?
Why, then 'tis none to you...
...for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
- To me, it is a prison. - A prison, my lord?
Denmark's a prison. We already had this conversation.
I'm Sonny Rollins.
Are you lonely here?
Who's that? Who's there?
Why isn't Mom with you?
I'll call the police.
Put the phone down, Dad.
- It's Henry. - Henry?
What are you doing here?
I just wanted to see you one more time.
Henry, I need you to leave now.
You can't sneak into people's homes.
I don't wanna go, Dad.
You've got the wrong man. I've told you before.
I don't wanna die.
You don't have to die.
- Will you do something for me, Dad? - What? What are you doing?
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
I want you to look at me, okay?
It's okay.
It's just lightning.
Remember that time we found all those dead sparrows in the yard?
Remember that? They were in that tree that got hit by lightning?
Who are you?
I'm your son.
No, no.
Tell Mom I love her.
You should show your mother your paintings.
Yeah, well, you know.
Doesn't she look beautiful tonight?
They remind me of us when we met all those years ago.
How do you guys stay so in love after all these years?
Well, it's simple.
We're closed.
Ben, let him in, see what he wants.
- Can I help you find something? - Henry Letham.
A book by Henry Letham or on Henry Letham?
No, I thought he might be here.
I was told he comes here sometimes.
Nobody's here, man. The store is closed.
How about you don't fuck with me right now.
Smitty, you know a guy named Henry Letham?
- Sure. Something happen to him? - Yeah, I need to find him.
- I keep telling the kid to get some sun. - It's not healthy spending...
...all your time in bookstores. Yeah, that's his.
He didn't have money for the books, so he gave me this.
I think I got a pretty good deal. The kid's got talent, huh?
Traded the painting for some books? Which books?
Tristan Reveur, what else? The kid's obsessed with Reveur.
- Got any more of his books? - No, he bought me out.
It's all secondhand, out-of-print stuff.
Right.
Thanks.
So, what do you think, is he gonna make it?
- What? - You think he's got what it takes?
Yeah, yeah.
- Hello. - It's me.
Jesus, Sam, where are you? Are you okay?
I'm fine. Listen, Tristan Reveur killed himself on his 21st birthday, right?
Oh, God. It's that kid's 21st birthday today?
Yeah. How did he kill himself?
He shot himself on the Brooklyn Bridge.
He said it was the best artwork of the 19th century.
- Hello? - Lila, listen.
I need you to know something. I trust you.
I trust you more than anyone in the world.
- What's going on? - Listen, if anything happens tonight...
...you know I love you. It's the one thing I know is real.
I'm worried about you.
- Don't be. I love you, Lila. - Sam?
- Leon? - I always thought you had brown eyes.
- You can see. - I can see everything.
For the first time, I can see everything.
- But how? - Henry, it's all because of Henry.
What's happening to us?
The Buddhists had it right all along. The world is an illusion.
- What time is it? - It's 11:33.
Saturday night in the rain.
You'll never find a cab.
Damn it.
Listen to my voice, Henry. Stay with me, okay?
- Mommy, is that man gonna die? - Well, I hope not, baby. I don't think so.
Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall. Transfer is...
Henry.
One of the first times I met you...
...you said that you didn't know what was real anymore.
And I said that I did, but I was wrong.
I don't know what's real anymore.
You are.
You're real.
And you're trying to save me. You're just too late.
Because I gotta wake up.
You are awake.
Henry, look around you.
If this is a dream, the whole world is inside it.
This hurts too much.
- I wish you didn't have to see this. - Henry.
It happened in front of me. It was right in front of me.
I was the first one here. I didn't move him.
- You have a phone? - I already called.
- Here, let me help. I'm a nurse. - He's losing a lot of blood.
I'm gonna straighten up his face, all right?
Okay, maintain pressure on that, keep an eye on his pulse.
Can you hear me?
It's pretty...
You're gonna be all right.
You're gonna be fine.
It's okay.
- How are the others? - They're gone.
- You said you're a nurse? - Yeah.
- What's your name? - Lila.
Listen, listen. Lila here is a nurse.
- Listen to her voice, all right? - Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna go in your pockets and find something with your name on it.
What's your name? Can you tell me your name?
Looks like hail.
- What's that? - Looks like hail.
No, no, that's not hail. That's just the light.
Henry, is that your name? Henry, listen.
My name is Sam. I'm a doctor, all right?
I'm gonna look after you, okay? I need you to try and stay awake.
I want you to listen to Lila's voice and stay awake. Stay with us here.
How old are you, Henry?
- What's that? - I said, forgive me.
- What did he say? - "Forgive me."
Hey, Henry, listen. I was driving right behind you.
You didn't do anything wrong, all right? Your front tire blew, okay?
It wasn't your fault.
It's not anybody's fault. You don't have to be sorry.
It's okay.
- He's just a kid. - You're gonna be all right.
His pulse is weakening. Stay with us, Henry.
Stay with me, okay? Listen to my voice, Henry.
Stay with us, okay?
He's looking for something. This ring.
There you go.
You stay here with us, Henry, okay? Stay awake, now.
- Come on, Henry. - Gotta stay with me by the car.
We can't run away from each other. Remember?
- Mommy, is that man gonna die? - No, angel, he's gonna be fine.
They've got ambulances gonna come and help him out.
- Wanna go see if they're coming? - Where's that ambulance?
- Listen to us. - Henry, stay conscious.
Look at me. Henry, look at me.
- Pulse is faint. - Try and stay conscious.
Try and stay awake. Listen to the voice.
Come on, Henry. Henry? Stay with me, Henry.
Open your eyes. Look at me. Stay with me.
That's it, that's it, stay there. Look at me.
- Is that you? - What? What?
My baby. That's my girl right there.
That's my girl.
Will you marry me?
Let's go. Come on.
- Will you marry me? - Yes.
- Will you marry me? - Yes, Henry.
- Henry, Henry? - He's not going to make it.
- Henry, try and stay with us. - Henry, open your eyes.
- Can you hear me? - Henry?
- I can't breathe. - You can't breathe?
Come on, let's loosen this.
- Henry? - Stay with me...
I'm not gonna leave you. It's okay, don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
- I'm sorry. - You don't have to be sorry.
- Henry? - Henry. Hey, Henry.
I know you're not supposed to move the body.
- May I have your name, ma'am? - Elizabeth Levy.
Once we get your information, detectives are gonna speak with you.
- Okay. - All right, take it from here.
Hey, thank you for helping.
I wish we could have done more.
No one ever asked me to marry them before.
You wanna get a cup of coffee somewhere?
I'm never gonna sleep tonight.
Yeah, I'd like that.
