I gotta take a shower, alright? No.
I think I'm gonna sleep at my place tonight.
Why?
I've still got work to do tonight.
I'm gonna go ahead. I have a morning full of meetings.
Come on, stay. I'll drive you in in the morning.
I'll go make eggs Benedict.
You're a bad influence.
No, it's okay.
Don't get up.
I'll just clock out.
No. I'll drive you.
Wow, what a sweet heart!
Yeah, that's what all the girls say.
Hey!
You think you're funny? Yeah, I do.
You still wanna go to Santa Barbara this weekend? Yeah.
Yeah.
You still wanna make the plans? Yeah.
I'll get right on it.
Stop!
Give the security guard a little something.
Oh! [Screaming]
You scream, you die! You got it?
Hands above! Don't do anything stupid!
Fucking bitch!
Give me your money and your wallet.
Wallet's in the back pocket.
Tanya Kirkwood, 4420 Weston Road. [She's crying.]
Maybe I'll come pay you a little visit, huh?
You got what you wanted. Just leave us alone.
Shut your fuckin' mouth!
You stupid bitch!
Stupid fuckin' bitch!
Please don't shoot.
You see my fuckin' face?! No!
It's the last thing you're ever gonna see!
Don't do it!
Say goodbye to your boyfriend!
No, please!
[gunshot]
[yelling]
Wake up!
Nooooo!
Tanya wake up!
Ladies, how are we today?
You didn't call me this weekend.
I got tied up.
Hmmm humph. Who is she?
No, it's not like that. It was guy stuff.
Guy stuff?
The bachelor party was on Saturday, the game was on Sunday!
Whatever.
Ahh, don't be like that.
Could make it up to you.
Oh, yeah?
I'm, uh,...off for another 15 minutes.
Really?!
You think one of your nap room quickies is gonna make up for me sitting around all weekend?!
No way!
I want dinner!
A nice dinner.
And a movie!
Deal...I guess...I owe you that.
You want the quickie too?
Maybe.
That's my girl. Hurry up.
[hospital PA sounds]
[knocking] Dr. Collins we need you.
I'll be there in a minute!
Sir?
Just give me a second alright?
Doctor, they need you in the OR.
Fuck, I hate it when you do this to me.
I'll make it up to you.
Alright, go.
Love you.
Alright let's roll.
Female with a gunshot wound...
...right lung. ETA 3 minutes.
Alright. Prep her and put her in 4.
We gotta gunshot wound to the upper abdomen. Puncture of the lung.
Not breathing.
Internal bleeding. Blood pressure 72/40.
Dropping fast.
You can't go in. What?!
That's my fuckin' fiancée!
Sir, I'm gonna need you to come with me.
Take a look at that head of yours. Need some x rays.
I don't feel good leaving her here.
She's a patient and the doctor will take care of her.
Let's see what we have here.
[beeping of machines]
That doesn't look good.
[ominous music]
What?!
Who are you?
Fear not, my dear.
My name's Slice.
I'm here to help you.
Where am I?
The Underworld.
What?
The Underworld.
A Purgatory of sorts.
It's a place between life and...death.
Where severed souls got to learn of their fate!
Lost souls?
I was... I was just....
Do you remember anything that happened to you?
Anything at all?
Usually....
...you arrive here through some sort of...
...life-threatening experience.
An accident! An illness.
An....attack!
I just can't remember!
No matter.
Whatever the cause the journey's still the same.
It is said that the Underworld is merely the effect of the anesthesia.
That the part of the brain that controls pain...
...pleasure...decision-making...inhibitions...
...goes all...hypersensitive!
A journey?
A journey indeed!
You see, while the doctors in the world above try to save your life....
...you'll be subjected to an assortment of sensations!
This journey that you embarked upon is your subconscious self reacting to the world around it.
For better or for worse...
You'll do things down here that you would never do up there!
All in an attempt to stay alive!
So this ... isn't....really happening?
No.
But everything you feel will be as real as anything you've ever felt!
Every smell...
...every taste...
...every touch!
Shall we?
As I said...
...everything is as real as it could be.
Now, this way my darling.
[ominous music]
What took you so long?
Young lady was a little weak.
Had to carry her half way.
Always the gentleman, Slice.
My dear...
...we must fit you for your travels.
You have a long journey ahead of you.
Drink this...it will help you regain your strength.
Uh...Uh...Uhh!
Less talking.
...More drinking.
Go ahead. Drink up.
Uhh! What was that?!
It's best that you do not know.
You have to trust me.
You'll be feeling much better soon.
Holy shit where are your legs?!
I am Mecca!
As in mechanical.
Have you told her nothing?
I tried, but...
My dear...
...you see...everything you see in the Underworld...
...it represents whatever is happening to you up above.
Slice here, represents the scalpel that is cutting through your flesh.
He is the first in your operation.
Thus the first you've met.
I represent the machinery that keeps you alive.
Slice and I work as one.
I will help you breathe and monitor all your life signs.
You'll meet many of us along the way.
Along the way where?
Along the way to life.
Or death!
Pay him no mind.
You'll be just fine.
But you must be wary of others.
Not everyone will be as helpful as Slice and I.
Some will help you freely.
Others will accept payment.
Payment?
An offering.
And I have nothing.
My dear...you have your flesh!
And in the Underworld that's quite a valuable commodity.
See it as... currency.
Use it wisely!
And you will travel well.
But how do I know when to...? You'll know.
You're very smart and very brave.
Just remember...to travel forward...
...and never give up.
Never give up.
It's time for you to go now, my dear.
Right through there.
Past the crimson curtains.
Lies the unknown.
Travel safe.
May you find what you seek.
Think she'll make it?
Only time will tell.
Well....
Since our work is done...
...fancy a little fun?
Oh, Slice, always looking out for yourself.
Well, okay, tall, dark and gruesome.
Let's have it then.
[machine sounds]
How's her pressure?
Blood pressure is dropping rapidly.
She's loosing a lot of blood here.
Give me two bags of O negative.
Two bags of O negative with a third standing by.
I am that which flows through your veins.
The life blood that beats within you.
I am that which gives you life.
Where are you?
I am everywhere
I am inside you.
Welcome Tanya. I've been expecting you.
Who are you?
I am Scarlet.
I represent the blood that drains from your body.
Each drop you lose makes you weaker...
...and weaker.
I am here to replenish you...
...to feed you.
To save you.
How do you feel?
I feel ... alive!
Excellent.
So then you are ready to continue on your journey.
This is for you.
It will keep you safe from harm.
Thank you.
For everything.
Now follow the mist until it is no more.
Through the darkness you will see a door.
There is no lock... there is no key.
Pass through it and then you will see.
See what?
[ER sounds]
How is she?
It's a little too early to tell.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear something.
In the meantime this is Officer Hopkins and he has a few questions for you.
Thank you.
Okay, Mr. Nichols can you tell me what happened.
Tanya was at my place...
I offered to give her a ride home.
It was like 10:30 or 11.
Tanya is your girlfriend?
yeah. How long have you been together.
Uhh, a year and a half.
Virginia.
So we were in the underground parking lot...
so these 2 guys come out of nowhere and they have guns...
...screaming at us...
Can you identify these men?
No. They were wearing ski masks.
Tanya got a hold of one and ripped it off....
...by the time I heard a gunshot...
It just happened so fast.
I mean you no harm.
I am Radius, king of the bone people.
I am sent to protect you and guide you through this vast emptiness.
Do you know where I am supposed to be going?
It feels like I'm on a journey with no end in sight.
You will know when you're journey is over.
When you can not go on.
And death is at your door.
Death?!
I don't want to die!
Aren't the doctors going to save me?!
That is our hope.
But that decision is yet to be made.
This is why we must continue. We must move forward.
Okay.
They are Tibia and Alda. My most ferocious warriors.
Strong...and true.
Should anything happen to me they will surely get you to your destination.
What's going on? Why are you stopping?
This is as far as we go.
You have just beyond the peak to travel. Stay on the trail.
What if I don't make it?
You will.
You've made it this far.
Just stay on course.
Thank you...
...for everything.
Your kindness will not be forgotten.
Be safe.
Will she live to tell her tale?
Her fate is in her own hands now.
If not, she has lived a good life.
I feel her story ends well.
What of us?
We, too, deserve such a life.
And indeed, you shall have such a life.
Your will is strong...
...but your body is so weak.
Let yourself heal.
Who are you?
My name is not important.
Just know that I'm here to comfort and care for you.
I've come so far.
Feels like an eternity.
Safe yourself.
You'll need all the energy you can muster ....
...for the remainder of your journey.
How much further?
I'm tired....
...so very tired!
Lay back...
...close your eyes...
...and just .... breathe.
You've done well to come this far.
The rest... is up to those above...
Have strength....have courage....
Have faith....
That looks better...
...It's completely under control...
...and the lung...what was her pressure?
Steady 120/70...
Excellent.
Fine with evacuation...
Yes, doctor.
...with the number 4.
So we want to make a final cut...so we've got any stragglers.
Present and accounted for.
Alright. Sew this little baby up.
And cross our fingers.
Who are you?
What's going on?
Struggle not my pretty little thing. I'm Stitch.
And this is Centra....
And we are the threads that bind.
We are the ones that keep your damaged body parts together.
We are the reason that you have the ability to heal.
But I'm fine! You should just let me go!
If you were fine, we wouldn't be here.
And you certainly wouldn't need us. What do you want from me?
We just want to hold you.
Tight!
You see. We are often overlooked.
Those threads that do most of the work.
And get none of the glory.
And all that we get...
...is the blame for the scarring.
I'm so confused but...just...
...let me loose!
Loose is a very naughty word.
...to a stitch.
What if a stitch were to come loose?
That could cause infection....
...loss of limb....
...even internal bleeding and you wouldn't...want that!
Now would you?
No! But....
...fine... fine... I'll let you go.
Well...I won't let you go....
...I think we need a little more...
...bonding time.
Get a little more acquainted.
How 'bout I stay for 2 weeks....
...and then I'll disappear.
It'll be like I never even existed.
Come lay with me. Pretty please.
That should do it.
Let's get these bandages up.
Nice work doctor.
Thanks. But let's not start celebrating too soon. She's not out of the woods yet.
We'll see you guys out there.
Yeah, she's been in surgery.
Listen, mom, I gotta call you back.
I love you.
yes, Is she okay?
I thinks it went well. We got the lung repaired.
She's gonna be okay.
Prognosis is good.
We just gotta keep our eye on her that she doesn't develop any complications.
How long before we know she's out of the woods?
Next 24 hours should tell us everything we need to know.
She's a fighter. She'll pull through.
Can I see her?
Uhh...yeah.
We need to make it quick. She's pretty heavily sedated.
Let me find a nurse to get you gowned up.
I appreciate it doctor. Thank yo so much.
They're gonna let me see her.
Yeah, I'll let you know.
Tanya! Tanya!
Who are you?
I have many names.
...Hades...
...the Grim Reaper...
...El Muerta...
...but most know me as Death!
What do you want from me?!
I've come for you.
No there has to be some mistake!
I don't make mistakes!
Your name was called.
It's your time. No!
Don't be afraid my child.
Give me your hand.
No!!
I see we have a fighter.
Save your strength for you will matters not!
I have fought and won many stronger than you!
That may be true.
But I will not give up!
I will fight!
Resistance is futile!
It is your time.
I can't fight with you.
Perhaps I can barter.
Over the centuries I have been offered many things....
....great riches...
....kingdoms....
What could you possibly offer me?!
I have none of those things.
All I have is this...
A tempting offer....
....one most would find hard to refuse.
But alas...I must...
How was your first taste of death?
Is it what you thought it would be?
It's vile! Disgusting!
you flatter me so.
If it's any consolation....
You taste sweet as sugar....
Do we have a deal?
Do as you will!
But I make no promises!
Then I guess we just hope for the best!
Get on your knees! Beg for your life!
That was magnificent!
Was it pleasurable for you as well?!
Are you ready to go?
We had a deal!
No!
You had a proposition!
I said I would consider it.
I have ... unfortunately...
But I'm not ready to go!
That's what they always say.
Don t fight it my dear. Take my hand.
No! I won't!
This is not a request!
you're mine! Never! Have it your way!
Then I will take that which you love. Which you cherish the most.
His name is Bryan, correct?
No!
I've come for a soul!
And a soul I must take!
That's the way that it is.
The choice is yours.
But think for a moment...
... leaving the hospital...
...getting onto the elevator and suddenly the cable snaps and he plummets to his death!
Or maybe he steps into the street and gets hit by a car.
And he lays dying in the gutter!
Or maybe... No!
Enough!
I've heard enough!
I'm yours.
A noble choice.
So beautiful!
[electricity zaps]
Clear!
No! She's mine! You're too late!
Tanya! Tanya!
Nooooo!!!!
Hey.
How do you feel?
Like death warmed over.
Oh, baby.
You make me so fuckin' horny!
I thought I was gonna lose you.
I told them you're a fighter.
You know I'm too stubborn to die.
Yeah, something like that.
You have no idea.
Get some rest.
