This is where the wealthy
and the powerful rule.

It is her world,

a world apart from mine.

Her name... is Catherine.

From the moment I saw her,
she captured my heart

with her beauty,

her warmth and her courage.

I knew then, as I know now,

she would change my life...

forever.

He comes from a secret place,
far below the city streets,



hiding his face from strangers,

safe from hate and harm.

He brought me there
to save my life.

And now, wherever I go,
he is with me in spirit,

for we have a bond stronger
than friendship or love.

And although
we cannot be together,

we will never, ever be apart.

Hey!

Whoa!

Hey!

Oh, you startled me.

I was looking for you.

Do you think
it would be possible

to take some
of the children down



to see the crystal cavern?

Vincent?

Good morning, Vincent.

Is it safe
there?

Safe?

I don't know.

What is it?

Father...

What's happened, hmm?

Are you ill?

I don't know.

Vincent, come over here

and sit down.

Come on.

Can I get you
anything?

A cup of tea?

Something is
happening... to me.

Try to tell me.

I went to sleep
last night...

and when I
awakened this morning,

I was in the park.

It was a dream.

No!

No!

I woke up in the park.

Last night?

Just now, in the daylight.

And you didn't know
you'd left the tunnels.

No.

I had a dream.

Tell me.

I was running

at great speed
without caution,

running to Catherine.

Are you certain
that was a dream?

I don't know.

I don't know
where the dream began.

I don't know what happened.

Where did the dream end?

Do you know that?

In death.

My death.

And then you woke up,

hmm?

In the park.

Father, I'm losing my hold.

I can feel it.

Vincent, tell me,
as best you can.

My hold... on myself.

Was it anything like, uh,

what happened before

when you were young?

Was it anything
like that?

Like the beginning of it,

only stronger.

Something terrible,

something terrible is...
burning its way through me.

Not terrible.

There's nothing terrible
within you.

That's not true.

We both know for me
that's not true.

It is true, especially for you.

Because your struggle
is greater.

And if I lose the struggle?

Vincent, you must
watch it carefully,

now more
than ever before.

Be aware
of everything.

Your physical
and emotional state.

And you must let me

stand by you,
whatever may happen.

I remember...

those nights,

those dark nights.

I remember the dreams.

You never left my side.

No.

I can't let that happen again.

It won't.

It would kill both of us.

Do you remember

how we came through
those dark nights?

You read to me.

Anything and
everything.

The Iliad,
The Odyssey,

all of Shakespeare.

You came out of it a scholar.

I-I think you'd better rest now.

It ebbs and flows now.

At times...

I feel as though all is well.

Then I'm... reminded...

by a sound,
the reflection of a flame,

or some distant echo inside

that it is returning...

of how immense it is

that it is rising up within me

and burying me in its path.

Catherine.

I wanted you
to hear this.

The whole evening's Vivaldi.

So far it's wonderful.

Come. Sit with me.

Oh, I love this music.

So full of life.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Oh, this part
is like flying.

Flying?

Yeah. It's like two birds
soaring... swooping.

Soaring.

Swooping. Soaring...

What?

What is it?

No. No!

What's wrong?

Talk to me, Vincent!

Vincent!

Now I must be strong.

I must not let them see.

Or frighten them.

And I must prepare...

Carefully prepare...

for whatever may happen.

Tell me what I can do.

It will pass.

What is it you're feeling?

Words.

The words would...

only frighten you.

I'm already frightened.

And so am I.

What happened?

What is it?

You lost yourself?

Yes, I...

I lost myself.

You've been through an ordeal.

What Paracelsus
did to you was...

He's dead.

I should sleep...

peacefully.

You've been in a struggle
for your life.

There are wounds
in deep places.

Let me help you.

You must not worry,

Catherine.

The worst... is behind us.

What is happening to him?

He's been under
a tremendous strain

these past weeks.

It's taken its toll.

No, Father, it's
more than that.

Something is very wrong.

Yes. It is.

Now.

Like before. Not like that.

Find it! Find it!

I'm not sure that any of us

can begin to understand.

How can we know
what he must endure?

What inner forces he has
to battle in order to be

who he is... to us?

The Vincent we know
is a fragile balance.

A balance that
requires every fiber

of his being
to maintain itself.

That he can do it at all

is a miracle.

And now that balance
has been lost.

I want to help him.

I know that.

Do you think it would be
better if I stayed away?

Catherine...

Dear Catherine.

You must know by now that you're

part of that... miracle.

You saw him,

and all that he is.

And you gave him...

You gave him a dream.

For that I shall be
ever grateful.

Thank you, Father.

Do you think there's
a possibility that

what he's going through
might be treated?

I'm not sure this is
in the domain of medicine.

Maybe there's a...

medication of some kind?

A sedative even.

His biochemistry
is very different.

There was a time
in his adolescence

when something
like this did occur.

We tried sedatives
and other treatments.

It only seemed
to aggravate his condition.

In the end we were forced to...

restrain him.

It was the darkest
time of his life.

And mine.

He would fall into deliriums

and these would go on for days.

What happened?

He came a breath
away from dying.

All his vital signs stopped.

And then... it simply passed.

What can we do now?

Can't stop.

"Though they go back,
they shall be saved.

"Though they sink through
the sea, they shall rise again.

"Though lovers be lost,
love shall not.

And death shall
have no dominion."

"Though they go back,
they shall be saved.

"Though they sink through
the sea, they shall rise again.

"Though lovers be lost,
love shall not.

And death shall
have no dominion."

She must hear this.

"Though they go back,
they shall be saved."

"Though they sink through
the sea, they shall rise again."

Catherine!

"Though lovers be lost,
love shall not.

And death shall
have no dominion."

Catherine!

You must hear this!

Oh, God.

Vincent?

Can you hear me?

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

You're burning up.

What?

What is it? No.

No.

No.

Is there anything more
we can do for him?

Just stay close.

Just what you're doing.

You'll tell father.

Of course.

I'll send this right
through the lab.

Maybe we'll find
something out.

Catherine,

you should know
that there's a risk

in sending Vincent's
blood to the lab.

What risk?

Well, with the kind
of analysis that we need

they could very well
see something

they've never seen
before.

It could trigger a lot
of questions.

Well, we'll just have
to start thinking

of some answers.

I'm here.

You'll come through
this, Vincent.

You'll come
through this.

No, I don't
need anything

it's just the stomach flu.

Could you have
Rita meet

with the Wilkinson's attorney?

Okay.

Thanks, Joe.

I'll call you
tomorrow.

Though they sink
through the sea

they shall
rise again.

Though lovers be lost,
love shall not.

And death shall have
no dominion.

Death shall have
no dominion.

You knew those lines?

You've been repeating
them for three days.

Who wrote them?

Was it Dylan Thomas?

You're feeling better.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Vincent.

Don't be sorry.

It's been my struggle
always, now,

when I have so much
to fight for,

I'm losing.

Maybe the worst
is over.

If it's not...

it's best that I'm below.

I should go back.

It'll be dark soon.

Catherine...

I don't know
what will happen now.

You must promise me one thing...

that you will share it
with me--

whatever happens,
whatever comes.

Whatever happens,
whatever comes...

know that I love you.

Vincent.

Where were you?

Did you forget
our reading group?

Forgive me, Samantha.

We're supposed to finish
the book today.

Finish?

The book?

We're all waiting
to see what happens?

Great Expectations.

No. Jane Eyre.

The one
we've been reading.

Oh, yes.

We're on the last chapter,
remember?

If...

If I'm ever not there,
Samantha...

you read in my place.

You read the last chapter
to the class.

It wouldn't be the same.

But you read so beautifully.

Just be there, Vincent!

Here's the lab report.

They want us to send
another sample.

Why?

They think there
was a mix-up.

They claim that what we sent
them wasn't human blood.

Catherine,

I don't think it's safe
to pursue it this way.

I've got a friend
at Columbia in
Biochemistry.

He's the most human...

the most human being
I have ever met.

Well, maybe
Jacob was right.

You go beyond
definitions,

scientific knowledge
can only break down.

Where do you go after that?

Back to your heart, Catherine.

Where the definitions

don't mean very much.

I can't believe Vincent would
ever hurt any of us.

Most certainly
not intentionally, Mary.

But we're dealing with something
extremely volatile.

Yes, I think we should be
concerned about our safety.

And for his as well.

Why did this
have to happen?

He's been through
so much.

What should we do?

Keep in communication
with each other.

And let's try

to keep the pipes open

in case of emergency.
Right.

Now we must all keep a very
close watch over Vincent

until this passes.

What about the children?
What shall we tell them?

What we always tell them.

The truth.

That Vincent
is not himself.

But they love him.

I don't want them
to be frightened.

Mary, anyone who loves Vincent

already knows what it is
to be frightened.

The children will be all right.

Father!
Where is he?

Up at the park entrance.

He's trying to go above.

He... he won't stop.
All right, quickly!

We threw the
master lock.

The gate should hold.

Marc, are you badly hurt?

Be careful.

Vincent.

Vincent.

Vincent.

Come with me.

We'll go home.

Father... when?

I can't...

When will it end?

Perhaps soon.

Soon.

And all will be well again.

Bring Catherine.

Catherine?

What's happened
to Vincent?

It's striking him
more violently now

and there's no pattern to it.

I don't know
how much more...

The strain on his heart...

I'm afraid I don't
know how much

more of it he can stand.

Let's hurry.

Vincent, can I
get you anything?

Do not...

Do not come any closer.

Mouse isn't afraid.

You should be.

You should all be... afraid.

Listen to me all, all of you.

I...

I do not know how much...
longer

I can protect you from me...

So... I...

must go from you.

Go?
No.

I...

I will see you again...

when this passes.

Where will you go?

Can't go.

Vincent...

Listen to me now.

All of you.

I... I cannot speak more.

I must say good-bye.

Vincent.

You can't do this.

I must do this.

But I will...

carry you with me always.

You've given me
everything... everything.

Give that much to each other.

Jane Eyre. Take it.

Take it with you.

So you can finish it.

You finish it... for me.

What is this?
What's happening?

Vincent left.

What do you mean?
He left?

Said good-bye to us.
He said to keep away.

To be afraid.
Well, where did he go?

He wouldn't say.

He left
without telling us?

He knew that we would
never let him go.

Does anyone know
where he's going?

I know where he is.

Mouse is following him.

Keeping watch.

He's gone below the catacombs.

Do you know the way?

They're very far down.

Take us there.

Pascal, please.

Take us there.

All right.

No, you can't!

I must.

Catherine, please.
Father...

He is my life.

Without him, there is nothing.

Vincent!
