Previously on "Falling Water"...
- I like the bear.
- That one's Sabine's.
I used to hide her
tooth money in the back.
- Andy did not stroke out.
- Then where is he?
He moved on. He quit.
[grunts]
- That's beautiful.
- No, ugh, it's shit!
The Belgian doesn't wanna
sell to White Sand anymore.
He wants new buyers, and he wants to be
in negotiations this week.
We have our first swimmer in the pool.
Mr. Song from Malaysia.
His top aide was already in Vancouver.
You need me.
Go away.

I was promised access

He has to belong to all of us.

You were supposed to dream today.

You have a whole room full of people.
They can't help me. I've tried.

I'm a bad dreamer...
but I've always known that
what you do is possible.
When I was 12,
my twin sister began to visit me.
Our bedrooms were
separated by a wall, but...
she would...
sneak into my dreams.
And for two years,
we had adventures.
We saw oceans,
islands,
castles in the sky.
And then one morning,
she didn't wake up.
She was catatonic,
and I told my parents I
thought she was still dreaming,
but they put her in an institution
and drugged her up
and she died there at 16.
And ever since then, I've been trapped
inside my own puny little dreams.
I have seen amazing things,
and I am hoping
that you can help me see them again.
One time.
We can go to the lab.
No.
