eviously onJourneyman:
DAN: Okay, I told the truth, that I go on these trips.
Through time. Go ahead, you can say it out loud.
Do I know you?
Not yet.
Katie says you disappeared for a couple days
- and didn't know it? - Something like that.
And you went back in time.
(crashing)
I saw Livia. Livia's been dead
- for, like, nine years. - Hey, what are you doing here?
It is you.
They found the plane in the water but not your body.
- So did you even get on that plane or am I just - Yes.
- talking with a ghost? - No.
We're going to have fun.
I can't control when I go.
I seem to come back to the present when I finish
some chapter in the lives of the people that I'm tracking.
I don't want to be your first
phone call anymore when you have marital problems.
He had an MRI. He knows it's not that.
An MRI, why?
He's having these headaches.
Did I tell you I got the results back for the MRI?
There's nothing wrong with me.
Is it something you were born with?
Is it genetic? In the DNA?
That's what I'd like to know.
It's hard to say really.
Whatever. Here's the bottom line.
When you're done,
the seat goes down.
Again-- done...
and down.
I really thought we had this licked,
but recently there's been some backslide.
Change is hard, Katie.
Well, it's time to turn your back on the past and accept
you share your life and your bathroom
with your wife of eight years.
You headed for the shower?
Mm-hmm. You want some company?
The electrician's coming at 9:00
to look at the breaker panel.
We can be done by 9:00.
Promise to put the seat down?
Promise. Then the door's open.
(shoes clatter)
(shower running)
Katie. Katie!
Did you say something? Dan?
Oh.
(panting) MAN: The palace was the last
of the major buildings of the exposition to be started.
Construction began December 8, 1913.
The original column and rotunda was framed in wood.
(both grunting)
Sorry.
Hey, hey, easy!
That was for taking off, all right?
(tires screeching)
Get out of here, man.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
(games beeping, chiming)
Thank you... very much.
It's okay. Dan Vasser.
Uh, Alan. Alan Pratt, hi.
Uh, here, my card.
Alan, please tell me I didn't just
knock down a cop and take you out of custody.
Uh, what? No.
No. No, those weren't police.
I was walking down the street and, uh,
one of the gentlemen asked me if I had change for the meter.
The next thing I knew, they were trying to push me
into their car.
I literally have no idea what they wanted.
You owe someone money? No.
So what do you do? I'm an attorney.
Criminal defense, mostly DUIs
and such. An angry client?
I don't think so. Thank you.
Again, very much.
And, uh, I'm in your debt.
No problem.
Uh, you-- you got the...
got the date?
Hey. Hey.
We should go in here. Okay.
Thanks.
I'm sorry you had to come all the way down here,
but when I traveled back,
I was just a few blocks from the paper.
"Traveling," is that what we're calling it now?
You want to know the weird part?
It felt like I was gone for 15 minutes.
When I got back, it had been three hours later.
Dan, on my current list of weird
that doesn't even make the top ten.
Are you okay?
Uh, I could use a minute to catch up.
Katie, are you here for a job?
'Cause I could sure use you. You couldn't afford me.
Fine, break my heart. You're not the first.
You got anything on the Capri Center?
Yeah, I got a first name and a phone number.
"Julius." Word is that he can confirm
the bidding on the contract was rigged.
I've left a few messages, haven't heard back yet.
A last named be useful, don't you think?
That would be why I'm the reporter and you're the editor.
Funny. Watch the game last night?
Oh, God, until the sixth inning and then I had to avert my eyes.
Ugly, wasn't it? Mm-hmm.
The Giants' hitting is out of the Book of Job.
(Katie chuckles)
I should go.
What?
When I was traveling, it felt like Fall.
And I saw a sign that said "Game Three Tonight."
So it was a year the Giants were in the postseason?
And there was the name of a player: Garrelts.
Pitcher. Did he pitch
in the Game Three in the '89 series?
So?
Oh, my God.
ANCHORMAN: The Loma Prieta earthquake struck at 5:04 p.m.,
just a half-hour before Game Three
of the 1989 World Series.
Registering 7.1 on the Richter scale,
the earthquake shattered the Bay Area,
killing dozens of people, toppling buildings,
and starting fires across the city
that burned through the night.
You're sure it was that day?
Yeah, maybe six or seven hours before the quake.
(keyboard clacking)
What are you looking for?
He's not here. Who?
The guy who ran into me, Alan Pratt.
He wasn't killed in the earthquake.
So?
Why did I meet him that day?
Charlotte Skillen?
Is that Hugh's sister?
She was driving
through the Archer Tunnel when it collapsed.
I didn't know she died in the quake.
Most people don't.
He doesn't talk about it.
So do I need to worry about something big falling on you
the next time you... travel?
I've never gone back to the same day before.
1989.
What really scares me
is the chance of you seeing me when I was 16.
Hmm, yeah, the braces, right?
Huge hair-- it was a very Meg Ryan
in When Harry Met Sally phase.
(elevator bell dings)
Have you ever... seen anyone that you know
when you're traveling?
No. No, not yet.
See you later.
Bye.
Hey.
Welcome back.
I was here last time you came.
I saw that guy run into you; what's his name?
Alan Pratt. Hmm.
I wanted to help, but you two just took off.
It's a long story.
I never traveled to the same time before.
Here we are on the day of the earthquake again.
Why is that? It happens.
Means whatever we were supposed to do,
we're supposed to do it today.
So you've been through this before.
Yes.
Might be the quake, it might not.
The job's not always obvious.
How long you been doing this?
Let's just say it's been a while.
Were you traveling when we were together?
No.
It stopped when I met you.
Hadn't traveled again until I left.
Why didn't you tell me, Livia?
Dan...
Listen, do you know what time it is?
My watch took one for the team. Take mine.
I gave you this.
When you took me, uh, for my birthday to Big Sur.
That's a loaner, by the way.
I'm gonna want that back.
All right.
So, you want to look for Alan Pratt?
No.
I'm going to make a phone call.
What are you doing?
Trying to save some lives.
OPERATOR: 911, what's your emergency?
I need to talk to somebody about an earthquake.
Are you feeling tremors in your area, sir?
No, I... I don't mean now.
It's going to happen later.
I don't understand.
Tonight, there's going to be an earthquake this evening
and I need to talk to someone about it.
Sir, do you have an actual...?
(receiver slams down)
Do you really think this is what you're here to do?
I need a listing
for a city agency please.
COMPUTERIZED VOICE: That number is
465-555-9342.
WOMAN: How can I help you?
Yes, I have information
that strongly suggests there's going to be
a serious seismic event in the very near future.
Who would I talk to about that?
Any one of several people, sir.
What university are you with? University?
Or are you with the Geological Survey, sir?
Who is this?
Think about it, Dan.
If you got that call, would you believe it?
I just need to find the right person to talk to.
Maybe it's him.
Traveling is about instinct.
What's yours telling you?
(sighs)
MAN (on TV): We watched the thing
in the locker room.
We watched that Fox pregame show...
20 on Seattle, uh, 20 grand on New York.
No way. And ten on the Bruins
but only if the spread is still six points.
You don't really think I'm going to front you $50,000
in bets with what you owe other people?
Look, I'll admit I had a bad streak,
but the information I had on the Seattle game is very good...
If you don't pay some people back,
you're going to get your legs busted.
You hear me? All right,
keep it at, uh, ten on the Bruins then.
Get lost. Look...
Hello, Alan.
(indistinct voice on TV)
Oh. Uh... hello.
Remember how you told me you didn't owe anybody money?
I'm thinking was a lie.
I'm thinking you owe a lot.
And those two guys this morning
were here to collect.
Well, it's a complicated situation, with, uh, exigent...
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
How much are you into the sharks for, Alan?
All told? $448,072.
On sports book? Mostly.
So, we have a little monkey on our back.
I guess you could say that.
Me? It was poker.
One game I went down $46,000 in 20 minutes.
I was just warming up,
and then my wife called and said that she was taking my son
and leaving if I didn't come home.
Not a problem for me. My wife's already gone.
(sighs)
Here's my point.
If I can get my life back, anyone can.
I've done my time in the church basement, thank you.
Boned up on the 12 steps, had a sponsor.
It wasn't so terribly helpful.
Tried therapy. That didn't work.
Psychiatry, some pretty potent pharmaceuticals--
also a washout.
Look... Apparently, I'm incorrigible.
I don't have time to argue, so...
Neither do I.
You play cards. That's wonderful.
Can you direct me to a game?
$200 if you give me an address.
Huh?
Three.
Four.
All right, all right. Why not?
Follow me.
So, uh...
top floor, second door to the left.
How do you know it's there?
Listen, I know you're not going
to hear me when we get inside,
so I'm going to say it now-- you don't need to go there.
How much is the buy in?
It's $500.
Alan, you can walk away.
If you think I should walk away, why bring me here?
I don't know. Instinct.
Some guys need to hit bottom before they can get out.
I'm hoping that you're smarter than that.
Afraid not.
Hey. Empty chair. You want in?
No.
(footsteps)
When I come back, I'm hungry.
Don't ask me why.
Hugh called.
Wanted to know where you were.
I told him you were working on the Capri Center story.
- Thank you. - And Zack asked where you were.
I told him you were working late.
Okay. So...
where were you?
1989.
The earthquake?
Yeah.
You told me you never
went back to the same day.
Well, this time, I did.
It's like a dream.
It's the same day, same place, but it's real.
Dan...
what happens if you're traveling and you die?
Do you just disappear? Do you come back?
Do you come back dead?
I'm not going to die.
I can't believe we're having this conversation.
(sighs): So, if it feels like a dream,
then maybe it's something you're doing to yourself.
No. Katie... The MRI didn't find anything, but maybe it's something else.
Katie... No, if we can just figure out
what's causing this, there's a chance we can stop it.
Katie. Katie, I'm going back.
I can feel it.
There's something that I need to do that day.
What?
I don't know.
MAN (over phone): I'm not here. Leave a message.
(beep, Dan sighs)
Dan Vasser from the Register for Julius again.
I'm at 415-555-0177.
No word from Julius?
Not yet. (sighs)
Think he's getting cold feet?
Wouldn't be the first time
a source had second thoughts about talking to me.
Hmm. Who's Alan Pratt?
Oh. He's, um...
something else I'm working on.
You were here for the '89 quake, right?
Weren't you?
I was in Berlin studying abroad.
I was in a bar in the Haight.
Where I mostly was back then.
So wasted I barely noticed
the glasses falling off the shelves.
Forget the earthquake.
Find Julius, okay?
(phones ringing, distant chatter)
(horn blows)
DAN: Hey, figure out who done it?
JACK: Yeah, general belief is the shooter was the guy's brother.
I can understand that.
JACK: Hey, where's Crime Scene?
Not here yet.
Find out where they are.
I need your advice.
You want to find out how a guy can call in a report
on an earthquake and not be treated like a nut job?
Hypothetically. Who could he call that might believe him?
He's calling in advance, predicting the earthquake?
That's right. And you want to know this because...?
It's for a story I'm working on.
Well, it's not possible.
Guy makes that call is going to be treated like a nut.
Yeah, but why? Because he is a nut.
But what if he knows? He can't. That's the point.
But what if he does? A couple hundred people are going to die
at the end of the day unless someone believes him.
There must be something he can do.
Dan, last time you came to me this worked up about a story,
you needed 500 bucks to bail out a source.
That went to a poker game in Oakland.
Is that what's really going on here?
You think I'm gambling? Am I asking you for money, Jack?
Not yet.
Inspector, you're going to love this.
Crime Scene's stuck in traffic.
Somebody reported a suspicious package
on the Dunbarton Bridge, so Bomb Squad closed it off.
Cars are backed up 15 miles.
Okay. I got to get back to work. Sorry I couldn't help.
(seagulls cawing)
Actually, you did.
(computer dings)
(phone ringing)
Dan Vasser.
My name's Julius.
I got a message from you about the Capri Center?
Thanks for calling. Can you call me back?
Could we talk about this later?
I can't be seen with a reporter. Too dangerous.
Let's talk now.
That is going to be a problem.
JULIUS: The hell. Why? Listen, can you call me back?
(sighs)
MAN: Thank you for calling
the San Francisco Office of the FBI.
How can I help you?
I speak for a group who opposes
the ongoing criminal devastation
of old growth forests in the Pacific Northwest.
(sighs) We have planted explosive devices
in tunnels and bridges around the city
to draw attention to our cause.
Sir, let me get the Special Agent in Charge on the phone.
These devices will explode
between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. today.
If you do not clear the bridges and tunnels
between 4:00 and 4:30, people will die.
Do you understand?
Sir, you should speak to the special agent.
So you can trace the call? No.
- Just clear the tunnels and bridges. - Sir...
You think they're going to buy it?
(scoffs)
One call, maybe not,
but if I keep calling every 15 minutes,
then, yes, I think they'll start
to take it seriously. So, you're a terrorist now?
DAN: I'm just trying to keep people off the roads.
They clear the elevated highways and bridges,
less people will die when the quake hits.
Unless the roads get jammed up. Then more people die.
- That's not going to happen. - How do you know that?
I'll tell you what I do know.
You start to improvise, things get worse, not better.
Do you know how many people are going to die tonight?
Why do we keep coming back to this day, this place,
if we're not meant to try to save some?
Maybe you are.
Maybe you're just not supposed to save the obvious ones.
Where's Alan Pratt? He's losing his money. He doesn't need my help.
He didn't even die in the earthquake.
He doesn't need it, or you don't want to give it?
Why would I do that?
Maybe because he reminds you of you.
♪ She drives me crazy...
What?
Charlotte. Who?
♪ Like no one else
Charlotte Skillen, Hugh's sister.
She must work somewhere near here.
In a few hours,
six tons of concrete are going to fall on her,
and you cannot tell me I am not here
to try and stop that from happening.
...last month's, so, um... Charlotte.
I got most of it covered, but, uh, I'm about 500 short.
Now, I could get it back at the end of the week.
Don't hang... Don't... hang up.
Hello. Oh.
You're just the man I was hoping to find.
That, uh, money I gave you to get me into the game--
um, I need it back.
Purely a loan. I'm good for it.
You bust already?
How bad a card player are you, Alan?
I just need a stake to get me back in the game.
They're going to give away my seat if I don't get right back,
- so, please give me the money. - No.
I-I don't want this to become unpleasant.
It's pretty unpleasant already, Alan.
I know. I must seem pathetic to you.
Actually, it's like looking in an old mirror.
ALAN: I need the money.
Give it to me.
- I can't do this now. - I don't care.
I won't go until you give me the money, I mean it.
You're the one who got me into the game in the first place.
No, you're right, I did. You want the money? Take it.
Didn't change anything.
Hey, I got a question.
What? It's about Charlotte.
Charlotte who? Your sister.
Do you, do you remember
where she was right before the earthquake?
What is this about?
I was thinking about doing a feature on the earthquake.
The anniversary's next week and...
Yeah, the 18th anniversary.
We're not gonna do squat.
Save it for the 20th.
Everybody's gonna do the 20th.
We should do a story now.
You got the Capri Center for me?
It'll be locked down in a couple of days.
No, you'll have it tomorrow.
And then you can talk to me about a feature.
If I wait I won't have time
to put the earthquake story together.
Even assuming I wanted to do the story,
why are you interested
in my sister?
I just don't want to do a usual boring anniversary story.
I want to make it personal.
Write about people I have a connection to
who were in the quake.
Katie, my brother maybe.
And Charlotte.
Where was she that afternoon?
Forget it.
No, no, no... No, I said drop it.
The Capri Center.
Tomorrow.
No joke, Dan.
Hello?
Hey, I need a favor.
What?
I'm expecting a call
from a source named "Julius."
If he calls, can you get a time that I can call him back?
I'm forwarding my cell number to your phone.
This is the guy who knows about the rigged bids at the Center?
Yeah, it's pretty important that I talk to him today.
How important?
Well, I may not have a job if I don't.
Okay.
WOMAN: Keller and Dane Advertising,
can you hold please?
Keller and Dane, can you hold please?
Yes, can I help you? Hi!
Dan Vasser?
Hi, I'm Charlotte Skillen.
Hello. (giggling)
Your picture doesn't do you justice.
Yeah, well, thank you.
I think.
Who, who showed you my picture?
Uh, Hugh.
Oh, you know my little brother?
Yeah. How?
You one of his drinking buddies?
No, no, no, I don't, I don't drink with him.
Oh, well, good, I wish a few more people were like you.
He really needs to slow down.
But when I tell him, he just gets mad.
He'll work it out for himself eventually.
Thank you, ladies.
Um, you know, no offense,
but, uh, you are a little more mature
than most of my brother's friends.
You mean older.
And don't think he doesn't point that out to me
all the time. Oh.
Anyway I, I work for a chain of restaurants
in the Central Coast Mm-hmm.
and we could use some advertising.
And, um, Hugh tells me that you do great work.
So, um...
Well, great, let's set a meeting.
Well, it has to be today.
Uh, what are you doing
in about, um, 45 minutes?
I'm sorry?
How about a drink? Say 4:30.
I'd like to do it today.
Hugh set this up, right?
What? I get it.
I get it-- he, uh, he sent you to ask me out.
No, no. It's not the first time he's done it.
He probably gave you that lame line
about how I do great work, right?
You've seen right through me.
Oh, I knew it.
I'm gonna kill my little brother.
Well, now that the cards are out on the table--
how about that drink?
Oh, yeah, I,
I'm flattered, really, but no.
Why not? Because it's...
weird. Look.
I should have told you the truth.
But if I go back to Hugh
and tell him that I screwed this all up
I'm never gonna hear the end of it.
Oh, yeah, I don't know.
It's half an hour.
Meet me at 4:30
at the restaurant across the street.
It'll be painless, I promise.
And then neither of us
will have to endure your brother's hectoring.
Eh.
Okay.
If it'll keep the Hulk off your back. The Hulk?
Oh, yeah, it's a family name for Hugh.
Shh, don't let him know I told you about it.
Okay.
Only if you meet me at 4:30.
Okay, 4:30.
Great.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
I'm looking for Dan Vasser.
My name's Julius. Oh, hi, hi.
Yeah, this is his wife. He's not here right now.
Listen, where exactly does your husband go?
He's never there.
If you'll tell me a time when he can call you...
I don't like this back and forth.
Tell him I said forget it.
He can find somebody else. Wait a minute.
No, don't hang up, okay?
Don't, uh...
Listen, this story is very important to Dan.
And I know it's important to you, too,
or else you wouldn't have called him, right?
Hello?
Look, I'm taking a chance
every time I get on the phone. Of course you are.
Look, I... I used to be a reporter,
I worked with confidential sources.
I understand the worry. It's, it's...
worrying.
Where were you a reporter?
On Channel Six.
I was Katherine Barron then.
I remember you.
You know, that's always nice to hear.
Why don't you and I talk?
Just for a minute.
And then later you can talk to Dan or not, it's up to you.
I guess that'd be okay. Great.
Uh...
okay, um, I'll need your full name.
Horvath.
Julius Horvath.
Okay, Mr. Horvath.
You hate fern bars.
Going soft on me?
It's convenient.
I need that stool in a couple of minutes.
Ooh, who's the lucky girl?
Charlotte.
You need any help with her?
Nope.
I just need to keep her here for a half-hour.
And get through the quake, she can go on her way.
Oh, you really got her in your sights.
What'd you do to get her here,
you work your masculine wiles?
Little bit.
Is that why you took your ring off?
Yeah, don't tell Katie.
Katie?
Yeah.
Jack's Katie?
That's right.
(softly exhales)
I'm sorry. I was...
I was waiting for the right moment to tell you.
How long was it after I left?
Can we talk about this another time? No,
I want to know. Did this happen right away?
You were dead.
At least I thought you were.
And Katie was there for me when nobody else was and then...
Hi.
Um, I think I should go. Charlotte.
Clearly in the middle of something very complicated here.
No, I'm not blind.
Wait, please.
This is important. Please let go of me.
You don't understand. You need to stay.
Ow! You're hurting me. She said let go.
It's none of your business, all right. She said let go.
Charlotte. Charlotte! Wait. No.
Wait! I don't think so.
Charlotte, wait!
Charlotte!
(grunting)
Dan Vasser.
Hey, uh, Julius called.
He gave me an interview.
He says the, uh, bidding for the Capri Center
construction contract was rigged.
He gave me names, dates.
Great. Can you e-mail me the notes?
Yeah, I'll have to type them up first.
Get them to me as soon as you can.
(phone beeps) Okay, oh.
There's another call coming in.
Hey, does the girl
still have it? Yes, she does.
Bye.
Hello.
Katie.
Jack.
How are you?
Great.
Really great.
Is something up?
How do you feel about lunch?
Dan's in trouble, Katie.
And if he is, you are, too.
We're fine, but thanks for your concern.
He came to me
asking how to warn people about an earthquake.
I mean, come on, if that's not nuts I don't know what is.
And you and I both know that when Dan starts talking crazy,
something else is going on.
It's for a story he's working on.
Right, well, that's exactly what he told me.
Yeah, maybe 'cause it's true.
Yeah, well, the disappearances?
And the stories?
I think it's a cover.
I think maybe he's back at the tables.
He's not.
Well...
if he's in that place again, it's gonna get worse fast.
Can we just have lunch?
Hmm.
Did he tell you he saw Livia?
I mean, it's interesting, don't you think that...
whatever he's doing takes him right back to her.
Unless he didn't tell you.
Jack, stop.
I guess he didn't tell you.
You said you shouldn't be my first phone call anymore.
That was smart.
Let's stay smart, okay?
Handsome Dan.
What's up?
When you were covering the courthouse,
did you ev come across a lawyer named Alan Pratt?
Pratt.
We're talkin' late '80s, right?
Kinda looked like a Young Republican?
Had a taste for the ponies?
More than a taste.
Sure I remember him.
Low-level guy.
Small fish.
Any idea what happened to him?
I can't find any record after the earthquake in '89.
He owed a lot of money to the wrong people.
Basically on the skid, if you know what I mean.
I guess he bottomed out,
'cause two or three days after the quake,
he checked into a motel in San Jose,
ate the barrel of a .45.
Can I ask why you care?
I couldn't even
get this in the paper back then,
what with all the coverage the earthquake got.
What are you doing?
Trying to get to '89.
I've been trying for a couple of hours now,
but wanting it doesn't seem to help.
You seem pretty anxious about it.
- I know what I have to do. - What?
Pull a guy out of a card game,
which is ironic 'cause I put him there.
I don't, um, I don't understand.
Why-Why is that so important to you?
'Cause it's what I can do. Nothing else has worked.
I couldn't warn people, I... couldn't save Charlotte.
So if this is my job, I just want to do it.
Did you get my notes for the Capri Center story?
Yeah, I did, thank you, they're...
I wrote them up, they were a big help.
I'm glad.
I had lunch with Jack today.
Hey! Hey, what are you doing?
Taking you with me. Come on. No!
What are you doing?
I'm winning.
How much, huh?
A thousand? $10,000?
You owe half a million, Alan.
You gonna pay that back winning $500 pots?
I know you.
You want to lose, lose everything.
You'll be able to do it, be able to pull the trigger.
I bet you've already bought the gun.
Why not, huh?
I'm a dead man as it is.
No, you're not, Alan. Yes, I am.
I'm dead.
I can't change, I can't shake this thing
and put this life behind me-- nothing works.
Nothing. Works.
I'm going back.
No, no! (car alarms blaring)
Alan! Alan!
Alan!
(Alan grunting) Alan, can you hear me?
In here. Alan!
Can you hear me?
Alan.
No... don't leave.
I'm not.
Take it easy.
Can you breathe?
Not so good.
What?
I'm alive.
Yes. Yes, you are.
You okay?
Yeah.
You were right.
It wasn't about saving someone from the earthquake.
It was about getting Alan Pratt into it.
Because the only way he was going to change
was having a house fall down on him.
Is that what happened to you?
A house fell on you?
I realized if I kept going, I'd lose Katie.
So... Katie.
Yeah.
I wanted to tell you about my traveling when we met,
but it hadn't happened for a while and I thought
maybe it wouldn't happen again,
that I was going to stay.
Which felt good...
because I was happy where I was.
It's okay.
Are you happy where you are?
With Katie?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
Then, congratulations.
TV ANNOUNCER: Since founding the National Justice Project in 1991,
attorney Alan Pratt has overturned the convictions
of dozens of innocent prisoners,
including three who were on death row.
My job, basically, is to help the hopeless,
help them any way I can, because...
hopelessness is something I know a little about.
It all started in my bedroom.
Now we have an office and a support staff and...
Hey, any idea where Hugh is?
Did you get the Capri Center story?
Yep.
First-rate.
What you doing?
Thinking about anniversaries.
The earthquake?
Charlotte?
Among others.
Tell me about Charlotte.
Come on.
I mean, I've known you 12 years
and all I know about your sister is her name
and how she died.
How about that she was supposed
to come see me that day?
The day of the earthquake.
That's right.
But we had a fight that morning
about...
booze.
And I told her to go to hell,
and she went home instead,
ended up in the Asher tunnel.
Because you were drinking.
That's right.
Drank all night, drank all morning,
drank until our mother called to tell me what had happened.
That's when I stopped.
Funny thing happened to me.
I found myself in a poker game.
I was this close to sitting down.
I mean, I could taste it.
You and me, Hugh, we were... lucky.
We got our lives back.
We need to hang on.
I'm trying.
Now tell me about Charlotte.
And don't tell me what you did or how guilty you feel.
Come on, Hulk.
Oh, I haven't been called that in a long while.
How do you know she called me that?
Lucky guess.
Tell me about her.
What do you want to know?
Katie?
Katie, where are you?
Katie?
Everything okay?
You left your jacket.
I don't understand.
You left your jacket behind.
I found this in the pocket.
Where is she, Dan?
Where's Livia?
