Ghost Whisperer (2005–2010): Season 4, Episode 7 - Threshold - full transcript

Melinda: PREVIOUSLY
ON GHOST WHISPERER...

[GASP]

[GUNSHOT]

[GASP]

NO! JIM!

[DISTANT BUOY RINGING]

MELINDA?

HEY!

HEY, WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

WHERE AM I?

NOT EVEN A HELLO
FOR YOUR BIG BROTHER?



DAN?

MAN, I'VE BEEN WAITING
HERE FOR HOURS.

HOURS?

HOURS, YEARS, WHO
KNOWS? IT'S ALL THE SAME.

BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.

DAN, WHY ARE WE HERE?

DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE THIS PLACE?

DAD USED TO BRING YOU HERE,

WHENEVER YOU NEEDED CHEERING UP.

YOU GUYS USED TO FISH HERE

OR JUST DANGLE YOUR
FEET OFF THE PIER AND TALK.

WE CAME HERE WHEN YOU DIED.

I KNOW.

I WAS WATCHING.



NOW WE CAN GO.

GO WHERE, DAN?

DUH. INTO THE LIGHT.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BRING YOU OVER.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE
BEEN WAITING FOR.

THE OLD MAN TOLD ME,
"NEXT TIME I SEE YOU GUYS,

I WANT TO SEE YOU TOGETHER."

DAD'S THERE?

I'VE ONLY SEEN A GLIMPSE OF HIM.

HE ALSO TOLD ME I CAN FINALLY LOSE
THE PENGUIN SUIT WHEN WE CROSS OVER.

SO LET'S GO.

DAN, I CAN'T.

I HAVE TO SEE MELINDA.

JIM, MELINDA'S GONNA BE FINE.

FINE? NO, SHE'S NOT FINE.

SHE'S A WRECK! I HAVE TO SEE
HER. I HAVE TO TALK TO HER...

NO, YOU DON'T, JIM.
TRUST ME, YOU DON'T.

SHE'S EXPECTING ME. SHE
HAS TO BE. JIM, LISTEN TO ME!

DOES MELINDA KNOW
THAT YOU LOVE HER?

DOES EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT
KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE ABOUT THEM?

I THINK SO.

THEN YOU'RE DONE.

YOU'RE READY TO CROSS OVER.

NO.

I CAN'T LEAVE MELINDA.

WELL, DO WHAT YOU
GOTTA DO, BROTHER.

[LAUGHTER, CHATTER]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CRYING]

CODE BLUE TO...

NO...

CODE BLUE... I GOT IT.

THAT'S IT. WE LOST HIM.

[SOBBING]

NED, HONEY, WHY DON'T YOU GO
AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY RECYCLING

THAT NEEDS TO GO
OUT, OR ANY MAIL.

NO... IT'S FINE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT STUFF.

MORE TEA?

I CAN'T BELIEVE I
HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

HE ISN'T COMING TO
ME. IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS.

MAYBE...

I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE
HE CROSSED OVER.

YEAH. YEAH, I HOPE SO.

BUT WOULDN'T HE
HAVE SAID GOODBYE?

I MEAN, HE WOULDN'T
JUST LEAVE, WOULD HE?

THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT.

HAVEN'T YOU EVEN FELT ANYTHING?

MEL, I'M HERE.

LIKE A PRESENCE OR SOMETHING?

I'M RIGHT HERE WITH YOU.

I HAVEN'T SEEN A
GHOST SINCE JIM DIED.

NOT THAT I WANT TO.

HONEY, WE HAVE TO SETTLE
ON A DATE FOR THE FUNERAL.

I CAN'T.

IT'S TOO FINAL. I JUST CAN'T.

[THUMPING]

[THUMPING CONTINUES]

JIM?

MEL, IT'S NOT ME.

Ned: DO YOU SEE A GHOST?

I'M RIGHT HERE.

Melinda: I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.

HEY!

HE'S HERE.

NO, IT'S NOT ME.

IT'S NOT.

MELINDA, WHY CAN'T YOU SEE ME?

Child, whispering:
CAN YOU SEE US?

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

MOM.

[CRYING]

[DISTANT BUOY RINGING]

EVERYONE'S SO SAD.

IT SUCKS, I KNOW.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT
THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO TAKE
CARE OF THEM ANYMORE.

THEY'LL TAKE CARE
OF EACH OTHER NOW.

MELINDA CAN'T SEE ME.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW I'M THERE.

IT'S HER GRIEF.

IT MAKES THE VEIL STRONGER.

IT BLOCKS HER GIFT BECAUSE
THIS IS SO PERSONAL FOR HER.

WHEN SHE FINDS SOME
JOY AGAIN, IT'LL COME BACK.

I CAN'T LEAVE HER LIKE THIS.

SHE NEEDS CLOSURE. WE BOTH DO.

JIM, HERE'S THE THING.

YOU'RE ON THE THRESHOLD.

IF YOU DON'T COME SOON...

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY I
CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
WILL EVER GO AWAY.

THIS FEELING.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

EVERYTHING HURTS.

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I DO
THAT ISN'T ABOUT YOU, SOMEHOW.

EVEN OPENING THE REFRIGERATOR,

I... START TO ASK IF
YOU WANT ANYTHING.

AND THEN...

LAST NIGHT THERE
WERE DISHES IN THE SINK,

AND I THOUGHT, OH,

WHY CAN'T HE JUST PUT
THESE IN THE DISHWASHER?

GOD, I LOVE YOU, MELINDA.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE.

I NEVER WANT TO BE WITHOUT YOU.

IF YOU COULD JUST GET A SIGN.

IF I JUST KNEW THAT
YOU WERE ALL RIGHT.

IF I KNEW THAT...

YOU WERE AT PEACE SOMEHOW, THEN
MAYBE I COULD GET THROUGH ALL THIS.

I WISH I COULD.

BUT I'M HERE.

I'M WITH YOU NOW.

COME ON INSIDE.

TIME TO GET SOME SLEEP.

I WOULD IF I COULD.

HEY...

I WOULD IF I COULD.

YOU CAN'T HELP!

JIM?

IS THIS YOU? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MEL, NO, IT'S NOT ME.
IT'S THIS GHOST HERE!

MELINDA, I'M RIGHT
HERE. HEAR ME.

Faith: HONEY, IS EVERYTHING
OK DOWN THERE?

YEAH. EVERYTHING'S FINE.
JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP.

MEL, HEAR ME. HEAR ME!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

NICE TURNOUT.

IT'S TIME.

OK.

UM... AHEM.

AHEM.

AHEM. SORRY.

I'M A LITTLE, UH...

I... THE THING IS...

LOOK, I WAS GOING TO STAND
HERE AND TALK ABOUT LOSS.

ABOUT...

LOSING A HUSBAND,

A SON, UM...

LOSING A FRIEND.

ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FEELS
WRONG TO TALK ABOUT LOSS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT WHAT WE GAINED,

WHAT HE LEAVES US WITH.

WE'RE NOT PEOPLE WHO'VE LOST.

WE'RE WINNERS.

WINNERS BECAUSE HE WAS HERE.

HE WAS WITH US.

AND HE LOVED US.

AND WE LOVED HIM.

WE'RE ALL BETTER
FOR KNOWING HIM...

EACH AND EVERY
SINGLE PERSON HERE.

WHERE'S THE LOSS IN THAT?

LISTEN, UM...

I WAS GONNA PLAY THIS, YOU KNOW,

SAD, MOVING SONG.

JIM DIDN'T LIKE
SAD, MOVING SONGS.

HE LIKED TO ROCK.

AND SO SHOULD WE.

I'M HERE.

I KNOW.

[THUNDER]

I JUST DANCED AT MY
HUSBAND'S FUNERAL.

AREN'T I THE MERRY WIDOW.

AH, ANOTHER
SCANDAL IN GRANDVIEW.

I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WERE STAYING AWAY.

NEVER. YOU JUST COULDN'T
SEE ME THROUGH YOUR GRIEF.

IT HAD TO LIFT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
SIGNS YOU WERE GIVING ME.

THE APPLE, DISHES, SILVERWARE?

I WAS LIKE, WHAT, IS HE HUNGRY?

IS THAT THE ONLY MESSAGE HE HAS
FOR ME FROM THE GREAT BEYOND?

IT WASN'T ME.

YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER GHOST...

ANGRY TEENAGE GIRL, I THINK.

SHE MIGHT BE DANGEROUS, MEL.

NONE OF THAT MATTERS
TO ME ANYMORE.

I AM SO EMPTY WITHOUT YOU.

NO, I'M HERE.

AND I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU CAN'T STAY.

YOU KNOW THAT. YOU
HAVE TO CROSS OVER.

WHY?

IT'S THE WAY IT IS.

IT'S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

I DON'T WANT TO.

I KNOW THAT.

MEL, I NEVER TOLD YOU THIS,

BUT I DON'T THINK I BELIEVE
IN THE CROSSING OVER PART.

NOT THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

BUT DOES IT HAVE TO HAPPEN?

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT,

THAT'S LIKE SAYING THAT
YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN ME.

NO, OF COURSE I DO. I'M JUST
ASKING YOU THE QUESTION.

DO YOU THINK MAYBE IT'S BETTER
SOMETIMES THAT SOMEBODY STAYS?

I KNOW IT FEELS THAT WAY.

YOU THINK I WANT YOU TO GO?

YOU THINK I WOULDN'T BE HAPPY

JUST TO STAY HERE AND
FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE?

LOOK, IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT
YOU TO HAVE A LIFE ON YOUR OWN...

THIS IS MY PURPOSE. IT'S
WHAT I HAVE THIS GIFT FOR.

FOR SOULS TO CROSS OVER
AND TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP.

AND IT'S WHAT'S BEST
FOR YOU. SO I CAN'T...

SHH.

HEY, NO MORE WORDS.

I JUST WANT TO BE WITH YOU NOW.

HERE YOU GO.

HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.

I CAN STAY, YOU KNOW.

I'M FINE. REALLY.

YOU KNOW, SINCE THE WAKE
I FEEL SO MUCH LIGHTER.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
THE ACHE IS GONE.

IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT.

NO, TELL HER IT'S WHAT I
WOULD HAVE WANTED, TOO.

YOU KNOW JIM.

THIS IS WHAT HE WOULD
WANT... EVERYONE TO BE HAPPY.

YEAH. I DO BELIEVE THAT.

OHH.

YOU WON'T FORGET ME, WILL YOU?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU, TOO.

NO... YOU WON'T.

YOU'RE MY FAMILY.

SAFE TRAVELS.

THANK YOU, DARLING.

BYE.

SHOULDN'T WE HAVE TOLD
HER THAT YOU'RE STILL HERE?

NO.

IF WE HAD, SHE'D NEVER
BE ABLE TO LET GO.

HEY! WHO ARE YOU?!

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH MY WIFE?!

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!

I AM RIGHT HERE!

CAN'T YOU SEE ME?!

AAH!

I HATE YOU!

I JUST WANT TO MAKE
YOU A DAMN OMELET.

WHAT?

DO REMEMBER WHAT YOU
SAID ABOUT YOUR MOM?

THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT HER
TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE HERE

BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T
BE ABLE TO LET GO?

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAN'T LET GO.

AND YOU HAVE TO.

IT'S NOT FAIR FOR
ME TO KEEP YOU HERE.

YOU'RE NOT KEEPING ME HERE,

I'M KEEPING ME HERE.

THEN IT'S NOT FAIR FOR
ME... TO MAKE YOU STAY.

MELINDA, WHY WOULD WE
NOT BE TOGETHER IF WE CAN?

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TOGETHER.

WE CAN'T BE, NOT
IN THE REAL WORLD.

HOW ABOUT OUR WORLD?

ISN'T THIS BETTER THAN NEVER
SEEING EACH OTHER AGAIN?

TOTAL, NAKED TRUTH...

I'D BE HAPPY NEVER
LEAVING THIS HOUSE AGAIN

IF I COULD BE WITH YOU.

ALIVE OR DEAD.

BUT YOU HAVE A JOURNEY TO TAKE.

SO DO I.

WE JUST CAN'T BE TOGETHER
RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ALL...

IT'S OUR... FORK IN THE ROAD

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,

OVER ON YOUR SIDE.

MY ROAD,

MY JOURNEY IS WITH YOU.

IT IS YOU.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY.

AND THAT WAS THE CHOICE
I MADE, AND I AM NOT...

I CANNOT LET IT GO
JUST BECAUSE I'M DEAD.

THERE'S A SENTENCE YOU DON'T
HEAR YOURSELF SAY EVERY DAY.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO
COME HERE ANYMORE.

IT JUST... IT... IT
HURTS US BOTH.

YOU KNOW? AND IT'S WRONG.

SO IF YOU LOVE
ME, YOU'LL JUST...

YOU'LL JUST DO THE RIGHT
THING AND CROSS OVER.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE
THAT. YES, I DO.

PLEASE...

DON'T MAKE THIS ANY
HARDER THAN IT ALREADY IS.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

I'LL BE WITH YOU AGAIN.

AND IT WON'T SEEM
LIKE SUCH A LONG TIME,

I PROMISE.

[CRYING]

[FLOOR CREAKS]

OH, JIM.

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS AGAIN...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I'M OFF DUTY, OK?
I CAN'T HELP YOU.

YOU HAVE TO HELP HIM.

WHO? JIM?

FORGIVE HIM.

FOR WHAT? WHO ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LOOK WHAT I'VE DONE TO HIM.

HUH? [RATTLING]

[ALARM RINGS] Man: AND NOW
FOR THE WEATHER REPORT.

Woman: STORMY WEATHER
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE

ON AND OFF THROUGH THE WEEKEND,

LEADING OFFICIALS TO INCREASE
WATER RELEASES FROM RESERVOIRS.

[LOUD MUSIC PLAYING]

LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS...

CAN I JUST SAY THAT
NO MATTER WHAT ELSE,

MESSING WITH PEOPLE
LIKE THIS IS THE GREATEST.

AND CAN I JUST SAY
MY FREAKIN' HEART RATE

HASN'T GONE BELOW 125
SINCE I MET YOU PEOPLE?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

I'M SORRY, ELI. I
JUST WANTED TO SEE

IF I COULD TURN ON
YOUR CLOCK RADIO.

I MEAN, THERE'S A BIG LEARNING
CURVE TO THIS WHOLE GHOST THING.

YOU KNOW, THE LONE
RANGER LOOK IS GOOD ON YOU.

MY EYES ARE
SENSITIVE TO LIGHT, OK?

IS THE NUCLEAR LEVEL REALLY
NECESSARY? SERIOUSLY. I MEAN...

SORRY. I CAN'T DO IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, JIM?

NOT THAT I'M NOT
GLAD TO HEAR YOU,

BUT WHY AREN'T YOU WITH MELINDA?

LOOK, MELINDA DOESN'T
WANT TO SEE ME, OK?

SHE JUST WANTS ME TO CROSS OVER.

SERIOUSLY?

I THOUGHT YOU GUYS HAD
THE PERFECT MARRIAGE.

YOU DIE, SHE THROWS
YOU OUT? THAT'S WEIRD.

DR. PHIL, I DON'T THINK I NEED
ANY ADVICE ON MY MARRIAGE, OK?

I JUST... I NEED YOUR HELP.

HOW?

THERE'S A GHOST
HAUNTING MELINDA.

IT'S A TOXIC GHOST.

AND I'M AFRAID SHE'S
GONNA HURT HER.

WELL, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,

I MEAN, DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE IN A
LITTLE BIT BETTER POSITION THAN I AM

TO DEAL WITH A GHOST?

I MEAN, ME BEING
ALIVE AND YOU BEING...

DEAD?

I WAS GOING TO SAY LESS ALIVE.

THIS GHOST IS AFRAID OF
ME. I CAN'T PIN HER DOWN,

OR, I DON'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T
LEARNED HOW TO DO THAT YET.

AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT MELINDA,

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, SHE'S
MORE VULNERABLE THAN EVER.

WHAT KIND OF GHOST?

OK. A SICK ONE.

SHE'S WEARS A HOSPITAL GOWN.

SHE HAS DISCOLORED SKIN,
HER HAIR'S FALLING OUT.

I THINK SHE'S A CANCER PATIENT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

I WANT YOU TO WORK WITH MELINDA

AND FIND OUT WHO THIS GHOST IS

AND WHAT SHE WANTS, OK?

ELI, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP MELINDA

RE-ENGAGE A LITTLE
BIT WITH REAL LIFE, OK?

GET HER MIND OFF ME.

IN OTHER WORDS, GET MELINDA TO DO
SOMETHING SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO.

THAT'S ALWAYS EASY.

JUST TELL HER I CAN'T CROSS
OVER... I WON'T CROSS OVER...

UNTIL THIS GHOST
IS OUT OF HER LIFE.

OK?

I DON'T WANT TO COMPLAIN,
BUT I'M STARTING TO TAN.

YOU COULD USE IT.

OK.

50-50 SHOT THAT WHOLE
THING WAS A DREAM.

THAT WAS NO DREAM.

WHAT IF I REALLY WANT IT TO BE?

WHY DID HE KEEP COMING TO YOU?

DOES HE WANT YOU TO TALK
ME ABOUT HAVING HIM STAY?

HE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE
YOU'RE SAFE BEFORE HE LEAVES.

SAFE? NOBODY'S SAFE.

LOOK, I THINK HIS HEART'S
IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

I KNOW WHERE JIM'S HEART IS.

ALL RIGHT? AND I KNOW HE'S
DOING THIS BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.

AND I'M DOING WHAT I'M
DOING BECAUSE I LOVE HIM.

IT'S LIKE O. HENRY
MEETS EDGAR ALLAN POE.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP JIM,
JUST TELL HIM TO CROSS OVER.

I WANT TO HELP YOU.

I AM FINE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'RE ANGRY, YOU'RE
HURT, YOU'RE LOST.

JUST LIKE ANYBODY WOULD
BE WHO'S GOING THROUGH THIS.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

YES, THERE IS.

YOU CAN HELP ME FIND THIS
GHOST WHO'S HAUNTING YOU.

FIND OUT WHAT SHE WANTS.

I DON'T CARE.

THEN FAKE IT!

YOU NEED TO DO
SOMETHING POSITIVE,

SOMETHING TO HELP THIS
GHOST, HELP JIM, AND HELP YOU.

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HER.

SHE SAID I NEEDED
TO FORGIVE HIM.

JIM? FOR WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE
WAS TALKING ABOUT JIM.

SHE SEEMED REALLY CONFUSED.

JIM SAYS HE THINKS SHE
MIGHT BE A CANCER PATIENT.

YEAH, COULD BE.

OK. SO, WE'LL CHECK
SOME HOSPITALS.

YEAH, 'CAUSE A CANCER
DEATH IN DRISCOLL COUNTY,

THAT SHOULD BE A SNAP.

IT'S A START.

LOOK, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
ONLY TRYING TO HELP.

BUT I CAN'T DO THIS.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO DO WITH GHOSTS, OK?

MELINDA...

JIM, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING
FOR A WAY TO LIVE FOREVER

FOR A MILLION YEARS.

BUT IT JUST CAN'T BE.
IT'S AGAINST NATURE.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO LIVE FOREVER.

I JUST CAN'T LIVE
WITHOUT MELINDA.

YOU'RE NOT.

BUT YOU OWE IT TO HER TO
LET HER LIVE WITHOUT YOU.

JIM, I CAN'T WAIT ANY MORE.

I'M CROSSING OVER.

I WANT TO BRING YOU
WITH ME, LITTLE BROTHER.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE
BEEN WAITING FOR.

BUT I CAN'T FORCE YOU.

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

IS THAT DAD?

HE'S BEEN WAITING, TOO.

FOR BOTH OF US.

I CAN'T.

HE'S NOT HERE?

WHO?

THE DEAD MAN.

MY HUSBAND.

NO. NO, HE'S NOT HERE.

HE DOESN'T WANT
ME TO TALK TO YOU.

HE HATES ME.

IS THIS ABOUT JIM?

FIRST, IT'S ABOUT MY STEPDAD.

I HURT HIM.

HURT HIM HOW?

IS HE STILL ALIVE?

YES.

BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE.

LOOK, I... I DON'T
WANT TO SEEM HARD,

BUT I'M A MESS RIGHT NOW.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

I KNOW HOW IT IS
TO FEEL GUILTY. I DO.

EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT.

IT'S BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I'M THE REASON YOUR
HUSBAND IS DEAD.

[BELL TOLLING]

WHAT WOULD THIS GHOST
HAVE TO DO WITH JIM'S DEATH?

WOULDN'T JIM HAVE
SAID SOMETHING?

UNLESS HE DOESN'T KNOW.

OR THE GHOST IS
CONFUSED OR LYING.

THANKS FOR NARROWING THAT DOWN.

SEE? THAT'S WHY WE NEED
YOU BACK IN THE GAME!

YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO
WHAT THIS GHOST HAS TO SAY.

I THINK I SCARED
HER OFF LAST NIGHT.

HA! ISN'T THAT IRONY?

I MEAN, MOST GHOSTS SCARE THE
HELL OUT OF THE LIVING, BUT YOU...

FOCUS. HOW DO WE FIGURE
OUT WHO THIS GHOST IS?

YOU WANT FOCUS? HOW ABOUT THIS?

WE'VE BEEN ASSUMING, BECAUSE
OF WHAT YOU AND JIM HAVE SAID,

THAT THE GHOST, BY THE WAY
SHE LOOKS, IS A CANCER PATIENT.

BUT THERE'S ANOTHER POSSIBILITY.

JIM SAID THAT THE GHOST HAD
SOMETHING IN HER BATHROBE. AN APPLE?

YEAH. THAT SHE THREW AT MY HEAD.

WHY WOULD THERE BE AN APPLE,
OR ANY OTHER FOOD, IN A BATHROBE?

SOMETHING SHE WAS SAVING?

OR HIDING. HIDING BECAUSE
SHE WANTED SOMEONE TO THINK

SHE'D EATEN IT.

I DON'T GET IT.

OK. YELLOW SKIN,
DECAYING TEETH, HAIR LOSS

ARE ALL SYMPTOMS OF...

ANOREXIA.

MY GHOST ISN'T ALL THAT THIN.

THERE COULD BE OTHER
COMPLICATIONS FROM NOT EATING.

LIKE YOUR HEART STOPPING.

WELL, THAT WOULD MAKE
MORE SENSE, GIVEN HER AGE

AND ALL THE GUILT
THAT SHE'S FEELING.

AND IF SHE'S LOCAL...

MAKES IT EASIER TO TRACK DOWN
'CAUSE IT'S MORE UNUSUAL IN GRANDVIEW.

WHAT DID I JUST DO?

COME ON, SAY IT WITH ME.

NARROWED IT DOWN.

I'M SORRY, MR. JAMES. THE HOSPITAL
WILL NEVER GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION.

ACTUALLY, IT'S DR. JAMES.

I DON'T SEE AN M.D. ON THERE.

DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY
AND PHILOSOPHY.

AND DOCTOR OF LOVE IN MY
LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL,

IF YOU MUST KNOW.

VERY IMPRESSIVE. BYE-BYE.

ELI, LISTEN... AAH!

JUST GET HER TO BRING UP THE
INFORMATION ON HER COMPUTER?

ARE YOU OK?

YEAH, YEAH.

I JUST HATE WHEN SOMETHING
I'M NOT EXPECTING HAPPENS.

SHE JUST ASK HER TO
LOOK AT THE RECORDS.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO NAME NAMES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
THAT'S GONNA HELP.

HOW WHAT'S GONNA HELP?

BECAUSE I CAN READ THE NAME
OVER HER SHOULDER, GENIUS.

OH.

OH. CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

CAN YOU JUST LOOK AND
SEE IF SOMEONE SPECIFIC...

NO, NOT SPECIFIC.
ELI, SHE CAN'T DO THAT.

AND WHEN I SAY SPECIFIC,
I MEAN... ANYONE, REALLY,

IN GENERAL, WHO MAY HAVE DIED
OF ANOREXIA IN THE LAST MONTH?

AND WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING
RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY

ON ANOREXIA DEATHS IN
THE STUDENT POPULATION.

THAT'S RIGHT.

ELI, SHE CAN'T HEAR ME.

AND I'M DOING RESEARCH
AT THE UNIVERSITY

ON ANOREXIA DEATHS.

AND I WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S AN
UPWARD CURVE IN BACK-TO-SCHOOL MONTHS.

I'D LOVE TO BE A FLY ON THE
WALL IN ONE OF YOUR CLASSES.

THERE WERE 2 DEATHS LAST MONTH.

ONE IN THE HOSPITAL, ONE D.O.A.

DOES THAT HELP?

GOT IT.

IT DOES HELP. IT'S VERY HELPFUL.

IF IT WERE UP TO ME, YOU'D
HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

IN YOUR ENVELOPE THIS WEEK.

YOU SHOULD WALK AWAY NOW.

Jim: CAITLIN MAHONEY. HER
ADDRESS 15 KEATS STREET.

DON'T FORGET THAT, OK?

GOT IT.

Doctor: HE'S IN DEFIB.
CRASH CART COMING IN.

DEFIB, CHARGE TO 200.

WHEN YOU'RE READY, DOCTOR.

CLEAR!

RESUME CPR. GIVE
HIM AN AMP OF EPI.

OK. HOLD CPR. LET'S
DO A RHYTHM CHECK.

HE'S STILL IN ASYSTOLE.

I'M GONNA CALL IT.

TIME OF DEATH 11:22.

I'LL CALL THE WIFE.

NO MORE PAIN.

[GASPS]

IT'S HARD, ISN'T IT?

WHAT?

BEING YOU.

I DON'T MEAN, LIKE, RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, LIKE, EVERY DAY.
DOING WHAT YOU CAN DO.

I JUST TRIED IT
FOR, LIKE, 5 MINUTES,

I THOUGHT MY HEAD
WAS GOING TO EXPLODE.

I USED TO THINK IT WAS HARD.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HARD MEANT.

THAT'S THE HOUSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M REALLY
DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING THIS.

CAN YOU DO IT?

ME? I JUST DID THE WHOLE
HOSPITAL-GET-A-NAME-THING.

IT'S YOUR TURN.

I UNDERSTAND. I JUST DON'T FEEL
LIKE I CAN FACE A GRIEVING PARENT.

WHAT?

OH, NO.

REMEMBER ME?

JIM, I KNOW THAT I
ASKED YOU TO STAY AWAY.

AND YOU HAVE, BUT THERE'S REALLY
SOMETHING I NEED FOR YOU TO KNOW.

I'M HERE.

IT'S OK.

CAITLIN MAHONEY DIED A
MONTH AGO FROM ANOREXIA.

SHE LIVED WITH HER STEPFATHER.

HER HEART GAVE OUT BEFORE
HE EVEN HAD THE CHANCE

TO REALIZE SHE
HAD STOPPED EATING.

HE WAS DEVASTATED.
SHE WAS ALL THAT HE HAD.

ANYWAY, HER STEPFATHER WENT BACK TO WORK
RIGHT AWAY, SOONER THAN HE SHOULD HAVE.

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

AND THEN SOMETHING
HAPPENED AT WORK.

SOMETHING THAT
ALMOST DESTROYED HIM.

WHAT?

WHERE DID HE WORK?

THE GRANDVIEW POLICE DEPARTMENT.

HER STEPFATHER IS CARL NEELY,

THE DETECTIVE WHO SHOT YOU.

LOOK, I ALREADY
TOLD YOU I'M SORRY,

I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR HATING ME.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
ANY OF THIS ANYMORE, ALL RIGHT?

I FEEL BAD ENOUGH AS IT IS.

I DON'T HATE YOU.

NO ONE HATES YOU.

I TOLD YOU THAT I WOULD BRING
SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T.

I'VE BEEN TO THE
DEPARTMENT SHRINKS.

I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.

IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT, YOU KNOW.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN ON THE JOB.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED
MYSELF PULLING MY WEAPON.

I WASN'T READY.

I MEAN CAITLIN.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER,
IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT CAITLIN?

SHE BLAMES HERSELF
FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

SHE WISHES SHE
COULD TAKE IT BACK,

BUT NONE OF US CAN.

NONE OF US CAN CHANGE THE
THINGS THAT HAPPEN OR WHAT WE DO.

WE JUST HAVE TO
ACCEPT IT, DEAL WITH IT,

AND TRY NOT TO LET IT KILL US.

SHE'S BEEN HERE,

WATCHING OVER YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TELLING TO ME?

WHAT I'M SAYING IS, SHE'S
SEEING WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU

AND IT'S BREAKING HER HEART.

THAT CAN'T BE.

IT CAN'T BE.

IT IS.

TELL HIM I THAT I DIDN'T
MEAN TO HURT HIM.

THAT I WAS JUST SO
STUPID, SO OBSESSED.

I JUST COULDN'T GET THIN ENOUGH.

SHE'S SO SORRY.

SHE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT
WHAT IT WOULD DO TO YOU.

I SHOULD HAVE SEEN
SHE WAS IN TROUBLE.

I SHOULD HAVE HELPED HER.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE THAT
SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HER.

I HID IT FROM HIM.

I THOUGHT EVERYBODY WOULD
LOVE ME MORE IF I WAS THIN.

THIN AND BEAUTIFUL,
LIKE IN THE MAGAZINES.

SHE THINKS WHAT
HAPPENED THAT NIGHT

WITH YOU AND JIM WAS HER FAULT.

BECAUSE YOU WERE SO DISTRACTED.

NO. NO. NOT HER FAULT.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON
DUTY. SHE HAS TO KNOW THAT.

I JUST WANTED HER BACK.

I WANTED MY GIRL BACK.

HE WAS THE ONE PERSON
WHO NEVER JUDGED ME.

I TOTALLY TOOK HIM FOR GRANTED.

SHE KNOWS THAT YOU WERE
ALWAYS THERE FOR HER,

EVEN IF SHE DIDN'T REALIZE IT.

EVEN WHEN... SHE THOUGHT
YOU COULDN'T SEE HER.

BUT WHY? WHY WOULD
SHE DO THAT TO HERSELF?

MAYBE SHE WAS SCARED.

SO SCARED THAT HER WHOLE LIFE

SHE WOULD NEVER BE TRULY LOVED.

NOT COMPLETELY. NOT FOR
REALLY WHO SHE REALLY WAS.

MAYBE NOW SHE SEES THAT
SHE WAS LOVED IN THAT WAY...

AND THAT IT WAS REAL.

AND ONCE YOU'VE HAD THAT
KIND OF LOVE, IT NEVER GOES AWAY.

IT JUST GETS STRONGER.

AND IT MEANS THAT
SHE CAN MOVE ON.

AND SO CAN YOU.

Caitlin: I'M SO SORRY
I HURT YOU, DADDY.

I LOVE YOU.

CAIT, I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU
WERE PERFECT INSIDE AND OUT.

I WISH YOU COULD'VE SEEN THAT.

ME, TOO.

Jim: MELINDA...

TELL HIM.

JIM'S HERE, TOO.

HE DOESN'T BLAME YOU.

Melinda: SHE'S
CROSSING OVER NOW.

YOU COMING?

NOT QUITE YET.

[SIRENS, INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Jim: IT WASN'T
YOUR FAULT, EITHER.

WHAT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

IT WASN'T BECAUSE
OF WHAT YOU CAN DO.

THEN WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN KNOW.

NOT YET. NOT HERE.

THEN I DON'T WANT
TO KNOW ANYTHING.

IT WOULD JUST BE MUCH EASIER.

MELINDA, I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

NOW YOU HAVE TO GO
AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

I KNOW.

JIM?

NO.

OK, CHARGING.

CLEAR BACK.

CLEAR.

CHARGING. CHARGING. CLEAR.

CHECK HIS PULSE.

STILL UNRESPONSIVE. NOTHING.

WE LOST HIM.

LET'S CALL IT. TIME OF DEATH...

2:57.

GET HIM READY FOR TRANSFER.
I'LL CONTACT THE MORGUE.

JIM, NO!

NO!

[COUGHING] NO!

HEY, KEN, PATRICK,
GET OVER HERE!

HANG ON THERE, BUDDY. JUST
TAKE IT EASY. GIVE US A SECOND.

JIM, IT'S YOU. YOU'RE BACK.

EASY, BUDDY. EASY, EASY, EASY.

JIM?

DO I KNOW YOU?
