All language subtitles for Touched By An Angel s08e17 Hello, I Love You

Wells, Nevada, where regional business
opportunities meet quality rural living.

Population 1 ,363.

I read that on the welcome sign on our
way into town. I see.

Oh, but they can add three more to that
total now. Someone should tell them that

Mrs. Fisk had triplets last night. I'm
sure everyone around here already knows

that. Good news travels fast in a small
town.

All news travels fast in a small town,
good and otherwise.

Her name is Danny Blake.

That's short for Daniela. She never
liked that name. She says a little poo

-poo.

Danny is my assignment.

Yes, but Danny is just the tip of the
iceberg.

There's more to this case than meets the
eye.

Tess, why do you do that?

You don't mind my saying?

At the beginning of every assignment,
you talk in circles.

I do not.

You do. You just said it. There's more
to this than meets the eye. We need more

information.

Well, try talking less and paying
attention more.

Father, give me patience, the patience
that I say what I need to say when I

to say it, and that's all I'm going to
say.

Hi, my mom said it's okay if I have a
sleepover tomorrow night. Did you ask

mom if she can come?

Yeah, she said no. We're going to my
house. And I guess we won't be seeing

next Friday night, huh, Danny?

That was mean, silly.

Well, who cares? It's just Danny and
Blake, the big mistake.

Knock, knock.

Gail, what are you doing here?

Oh, your hair looks cute, Nicole.

What'd you do to it?

Nothing yet.

Didn't you get my message? I found a
sitter.

Yes? You hired a total stranger out of
the newspaper?

You're always too nice, so I thought I'd
give her the third degree.

You seem nice on the phone.

Why do you always have to assume the
worst?

Do you watch the six o 'clock news? I am
staying until I'm convinced she's okay.

Hey, fool!

What was that about?

Oh, man.

Father -daughter dance next Friday.

Well, I told you this was going to
happen sooner or later.

I know. I was just hoping for later.

Much later.

The father -daughter dance, what's wrong
with that?

Not a thing.

If you've got a father.

But, Tess, all humans have a father. I
mean, sure, there's precedent for

immaculate conception, but... What Tess
is saying is that Donnie's father is no

longer around.

Oh. Where is he? That's the rest of the
iceberg.

Oh.

When you walk down the road,

heavy burden, heavy load, I

will rise and I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the sun don't
even shine.

Walk with you every time I tell you I'll
walk

with you.

Believe me, I'll walk with you.

how you feel.

No, you don't.

You had a daddy.

Everybody has one except me.

I'm tired of being Danny Blake, the big
mistake.

Baby, you are not a mistake.

You know that.

Then how come nobody ever talks about
it? It's like you're embarrassed.

No.

Danny, I'm not embarrassed.

I will talk about it.

I didn't think you were ready yet.

What do you want to know?

Well, does he hate me?

No.

Of course he doesn't.

Then how come he never even sent me a
birthday card or a Christmas present or

anything?

Hold on.

Hi. You must be Monica. Come on in.
Thank you.

I'll be with you in a minute. Okay.

Hello. I'm Monica, the new sitter.

Gail, Nicole's sister.

No calluses, no dirt under the nails.

Looks like a professional manicure.

Why are you here?

Your sister hired me to... I know why
you're here. Why are you here?

What's your angle?

It's my understanding that Nicole was
offered a promotion at the factory if

she'd switch to the swing shift, but she
has no one to take care of her

daughter.

Okay, Danny's eating dinner, and she
chokes. What do you do?

You've got ten seconds.

If she can speak, then her airway is not
fully blocked, and she can dislodge the

obstacle herself, usually by coughing.
If she can't speak, then the airway is

blocked, and I would perform the
Heimlich maneuver.

It's kind of a memory box I've been
saving for you.

Dad gave you this on your first
birthday.

For my very special girl. I'm sorry I
couldn't be with you on your birthday,

I think about you every day.

I love you very much.

Love, Daddy.

What about the rest of my birthday?

Well, I asked him not to send any more.

Why?

Because I thought it would be better for
us to make a clean break.

How come? Didn't you love him?

Yes, I did.

What was he like?

Well, I don't know what he's like now,
but I remember when I first met him.

After high school, I got a job at the
Silver Springs Diner.

Then he came in every day.

He never said much, but he had this
million -dollar smile.

And one night, instead of a tip, he left
a list.

And at the top of the list, it said, 100
things I like about Nicole.

100 things?

Wow.

Wow.

He always knew the right things to say
to make me feel better.

So if you love him, why can't we all be
together?

Well, love between a man and a woman can
be a complicated thing, honey.

You wish people could be one way and
they can't.

Sometimes you say things that you can't
take back.

And even if you wanted to try again,
maybe the other person won't.

And you're too afraid to try and find
out.

So you both just let it go.

But... You have to trust me on this,
Danny.

Sometimes life just gets in the way and
it's too late to try to put things back

together again.

Do you ever wonder about him?

Yes.

Do you think I'll ever meet him one day?

Maybe.

Maybe someday.

You know something?

You got your daddy's smile.

I do?

Mm -hmm.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Silver Spring.

Hi, Danny.

Hi, guess what? I'm going to the dance
next Friday.

Right, with who?

With my dad.

You don't have a dad.

Everybody has a dad cage. Duh.

My mom and I talked about it last night.

He lives in Silver Springs and he's
really nice.

Cool. You want to walk home with us?

Yeah, okay.

The Silver Springs. The name's Jackson.

Uh, first name? I'm not sure.

Danny?

What are you doing?

I was trying to call my dad to invite
him to the dance Friday night.

You can't do that.

Why not?

Because I said so.

That's not fair. I can call him if I
want to.

Daniela, go to your room.

Don't call me that. I hate that name.

Go to your room. Now.

I can't believe she did that.

I think she's just trying to find out
who she is.

I shouldn't have told her anything.

Too young to understand.

I've got to go.

Danny?

Danny? Wake up. Wake up. We have to get
you dressed.

My husband's catching the next flight
back home.

Monica, do you think that you could
drive?

What's going on?

There was an accident at the factory.

Is she okay?

She's in surgery.

When can I see my mom?

It'll be at least 12 hours, honey.

But you can say a prayer for her right
now.

I want to say a prayer. I want to do
something.

When your mother came in, she was
wearing this.

Why don't you keep it for her until she
feels better?

When the foreman called me from the
factory... Listen,

Danny, why don't you go into my purse,
get a dollar, and go buy a Coke, okay?

The cafeteria's just down the hallway.

Do you want me to go with you?

No, that's okay. I'll be right back.

When my sister comes out of this, what
kind of care will she need?

Well, it's too early to say exactly what
her medical needs will be. But I do

know that she's going to need all the
love and support that she can get from

this.

She's a single mom. She doesn't have
much family.

She's dead.

Danny, please get in.

I can't. I'm sorry I ran away and I'm
sorry I took Aunt Gail's money. But I've

got to help my mom.

How are you going to help her by running
away when she needs you most?

She told me that my dad always knew what
to say to make her feel better.

So you came here to find him?

Yeah, and if she wakes up tonight and
he's there for her, then everything will

be okay.

Please, Monica, please help. It's
really, really important.

All right.

I'll help you, but first you have to
make a phone call.

Okay.

Yeah, I know, but Monica's here with me,
and could you please tell my Aunt Gail?

Talk to my mom.

She's in recovery, but we won't know
anything for a while, baby.

May I speak to Monica?

Yeah. She wants to talk to you.

Hello? So, she's looking for her father.

Yes.

You think that's a good thing?

Well, I think she's feeling very
helpless, and I think that this might

to feel like she's doing something.

You have her back here tonight?

Yes, ma 'am.

Here they are.

Four people named Jackson.

All right, then we'll get a piece of
paper so we can write down the

All set. Let's go.

This is the right address. This could be
it.

Only one way to find out.

No one seems to be home.

Hello. We're looking for a Timothy
Jackson.

What?

Timothy Jackson.

That's me.

Whatever you tell me, I buy.

We're sorry for troubling you.

Yes, may I help you?

Hey, what up?

We're looking for Alex Jackson.

You got him, babe. Now what can I do for
you?

This is the last one.

One is all you need.

Are you Mr. Jackson?

No, I'm Andrew. Mr. Jackson's in the
house.

Thanks. Okay.

I didn't know that you were assigned to
Walter and Kim, too.

Kim? Walter's wife.

It's just marital difficulties and trust
issues.

You're not on this case, are you?

Well, no.

And maybe.

You're starting to sound like Tess.

Yeah. Hello, Mr. Jackson. My name's
Monica.

This is Danny.

Danny? Yeah, it's better than my real
name, Daniela. Weird, huh?

My mom gave it to me, but I don't know
why. Maybe you know her? Her name is

Nicole Blake.

Nicole Blake.

I think you're my father.

What?

What are you talking about?

I think you're my daddy.

I don't know any Nicole Blake.

Did she say what I think she said?

Listen,

Kim, wait.

I can't believe this is happening again,
Walter.

You've got to believe me. I can give you
a hundred reasons why you have to

believe me.

Did you hear what he just said?

He could give her a hundred reasons.

Just like the list. The hundred things
he loved about my mom.

I'm not sure it's really the same thing,
Danny.

And I think we need to come back later.

How could you do this to me? I didn't do
anything.

Really? That's what you said about Lisa.

And before her, Renee.

And before that, I forget, Walter, who
was first? Was it Heather or Terry?

Look, I know I made mistakes early on,
big ones. But that was a long time ago,

and I thought that we worked this out.
Yeah, well, so did I.

That had to be him, Monica.

He was the last Jackson on the list.

He did seem to be the right age, but...

Maybe

he wasn't the last one. Dan Jackson.

Hi. Danny, this is my friend Gloria.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Oh, Tad sent me to help this man with
self -esteem issues, but frankly, he

seemed perfectly happy the way he is.

And now that you're here, something
tells me that maybe Dan Jackson is

father.

Where is he?

Inside. Follow me.

Dan, this is Monica and Danny. This is
Dan Jackson.

Hello. Hi.

I like your van.

You mean my W -E -S -V?

Work -eat -sleep vehicle.

You live in your van?

Yeah.

That's why you're not in the phone book.

Yeah. So, uh, what can I do you for? I
got ten offices full of windows to clean

here, then I'm at your service.

Oh, and I run a cash -only business.

He travels around a lot.

Nice locket.

This? Yeah.

Reminds me of...

Somebody used to know a long time ago.

Really?

Yeah. Excuse me.

It's him. It's my dad.

A few minutes ago, you thought Walter
was your dad.

Yeah, but this time I'm really sure.

His name is Dan. Mine's Danny.

And he remembers my mom's locket.

I'm not so sure, Danny.

All we gotta do is get him to smile and
see if it's worth a million dollars,

like my mom said.

Dana? to be the one it all fits.

It seems to, but something doesn't feel
right yet.

Oh, the whole living in the van thing?

Hmm. That presents a challenge.

It also suggests someone who didn't want
to be tied down with a family.

Oh.

Maybe he is her father.

And maybe he doesn't want to be.

What animal do you look like in the
bathtub?

A little bear.

Get it?

Try this.

Knock, knock.

Lady, can you do something with your
kid? I got a lot of work to do here.

I'm going to get some more cleaning
fluid. Take this stuff to the next

Dan, Dan the Handyman, making the rounds
again.

Every three months, J .T., as dependable
as a Swiss watch.

Now, did you remember to get yourself
that business license this time?

Yes, sir.

him to smile at me monica my mom said my
dad smiled all the time maybe he just

doesn't like me i don't think it has
anything to do with you danny some

just aren't miler walter is can we go
see him again

so you just drive around and people hire
you yep

i hire people like you to help me when i
need it And it's off to the next town

and the next job. And next assistant.

I'd like to keep moving.

How do you get to know people that way?

I don't.

So no little romances, no special
Valentine's?

No.

Not anymore.

Aha.

Aha? Yes, there's obviously something in
your past to explain your fear of

commitment. You're just not telling me.

You know what I like best about the way
I live my life, Gloria?

What? I don't answer to anybody.

Monica, we need to hurry. My mom will be
waking up soon.

When are you going to get this thing
running, Andrew?

Pretty soon.

The timing's a little off.

Please, hurry.

I swear if this car was running, I'd be
a hundred miles away by now.

Maybe it's good that neither of you are
running right now.

What are you doing standing out here?

Car still not working yet?

Why don't you come inside, we can talk.

No.

You never want to talk.

I turn off the TV, you just stare at me.

I ask you how you are, you say I'm fine.

You've got to give me something to work
with here.

Do you guys want me to take a break or
something?

No. Please fix the car.

Okay.

Here it is.

Every time I leave this house, go to the
hairdresser, the grocery, or the

cleaners, whenever I just see a woman
walking down the street, I wonder to

myself, is she younger than me?

Is she prettier than me?

Did Walter have an affair with her, too?

Why do you do that to yourself?

I didn't do this to me. You did this to
me. You're the one who cheated on me,

remember?

That was a long, long time ago.

I said I would never do it again, and I
never have, and you said that you

forgave me.

Forgiving was the easy part.

It's forgetting that I'm finding...

Next to impossible.

And when that little girl showed up at
the door, I thought to myself, well,

what's next?

Or who's next?

When are you ever going to trust me
again?

Excuse me. We're sorry for interrupting.

I didn't mean to make anybody fight, but
my mom got hurt and I really need to

find my dad.

This isn't your fault, sweetheart.

Talk to her.

Danny, right?

Short for Daniel.

I know. Stupid name.

Try Walter.

It's not so great right about now,
either.

I like your smile.

Thank you.

I like yours, too.

Thanks.

So did you know my mom?

She met my dad at Silver Springs Diner.

We really need to hear the truth,
Walter.

The truth is that I don't know.

There was a time when I used to know a
lot of women.

But I don't think I really need to
discuss that with a little kid.

I'm not little, I'm ten.

Oh, you're ten.

I was born November 28th in 1991.

I was a Thanksgiving baby.

Mom said not only did I give her
something to be thankful for, but

me, she didn't have to cook that year.

It's not me.

It couldn't be me.

Kim!

Kim!

She

was

born in November of 91.

I'll send her a birthday card.

Think about it. Where were we that whole
year? You remember?

I don't know.

Let's see, um, 91?

That's the year we spent in France.

Exactly. And her parents met each other
here in Silver Springs.

What?

What is it now?

That solves your problem.

Not ours.

I thought you left, kid.

You said this reminded you of somebody
you used to know. It was my mom, Nicole

Blake. And you're my dad.

She's serious, Dan.

Look, don't get me wrong. You seem like
a nice little girl, but I... I don't eat

very much, and I don't make a lot of
noise.

You don't have to come back and live
with us forever.

But if my mom could see you when she
wakes up, it'll help her get better.

Because she really, really loves you.
And I don't know you that well, but I

you too.

You don't understand.

You've got the wrong guy.

I'm not your daddy.

Please. She took the little girl.

I know. I'm sorry.

Look, I don't know any Nicole, Blake,
and...

She wouldn't want me around anyway.

I got a lousy temper, no money, I smell
like turpentine.

I don't care. I need to find my daddy.

Well, you should care.

Yeah.

I knew somebody who had a locket like
this.

And it was somebody I loved very much.

Her name was Barbara.

No, it's Nicole. You're just forgetting.

No, honey.

My wife left me because I... I couldn't
give her.

Children, I can't possibly be your daddy
because I

can't be anybody's daddy.

Welcome back, Sissy.

Hi, Danny.

Yeah, she's out with Monica.

They'll be back in a minute.

What happened?

One of the hydraulic cables came loose
on your line.

Hit you in the back of the head.

I had to go in and stop the bleeding.

How are you feeling, Nicole?

Ow.

Monica and Danny have been on a little
adventure.

It was a stupid adventure.

I went to Silver Springs.

It wasn't Monica's fault or Aunt Gail's.

I snuck out.

You said that my dad always made you
feel better. So I went to get him so

be here when you woke up.

I couldn't find him.

Oh, sweetie.

There's only one person that I wanted to
see.

And that's you.

You're the most important person in the
world to me.

Don't cry, sweetheart.

I think what you tried to do was
wonderful.

And things just aren't meant to be.

We have to let your mama get some rest.

I'll take Danny home. We'll be back in
the morning.

Thanks, Monica.

Bye.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

I'll see you in the morning.

I have got to get some coffee. Be back
in a minute.

That's quite a girl you got there.

Thanks.

She seems determined.

To find her father.

I know.

Someday.

What if I told you today is someday?

Well, even if it was, there's nothing I
can do about it now.

I know you can't.

But God can.

And he sent an angel to help.

Now, tell me something about this man.

Okay, try it now.

Stop, stop.

You said you forgave me.

You just can't let it go. So as far as
I'm concerned, this is your problem, not

mine. You know what?

This is a beautiful car.

And I can tell that the two of you
really, really take good care of it. You

know, you change the oil.

You call a mechanic when you need one.

Excuse me?

I don't want to stick my nose in where
it doesn't belong, but I've been

listening to the two of you all day, and
it seems to me that part of the problem

is you don't listen to each other.

Marriage is a gift from God, and you
give it less TLC than you do a car.

Everything was fine before that kid
showed up. It's all her fault.

Was it really?

Walter, things were not fine.

We were just ignoring the problems.

If that little girl hadn't shown up...
Kim.

Walter hurt you.

And that is very, very hard to forget.
But love doesn't just run away.

You know, it hangs in there.

And Walter, you want to regain your
wife's trust.

But you can't just demand it. You've got
to earn it. You've got to show her

every day that you love her so much that
she has nothing to be afraid of.

You're a mechanic or a marriage
counselor?

Neither.

So you're just going to pack it up and
move on again?

That's the way I do it.

Have you ever thought about staying in
one place?

No.

What's it to you?

Dan, having your own children isn't the
only measure of a man.

And it's not the only way to be a
father, or a friend, or a neighbor.

You were hurt once, but who hasn't been?

Now you've taken that pain and you've
turned it into a lifestyle.

You're nuts.

You're afraid to love again.

So you just keep moving around so you
won't get attached to anybody.

And that's why you got mad at Danny
today.

She had the courage to risk getting
hurt.

Because she just wanted to love you so
much.

And you're afraid of love, aren't you?

You sure got a way of being blunt.

I know. It's the way I was made.

I tell the truth.

And you were made to listen.

I'm an angel.

And God loves you, Dan Jackson.

Now that's blunt.

I'm an angel, Danny.

God sent me for you.

Just for you.

Really? Really.

I don't want an angel.

Because God's a big liar.

Oh, no.

God loves you very much, Danny.

Then how come I'm Danny Blake, the big
mistake?

You're not a mistake.

God doesn't make mistakes.

I'm just a big loser.

Do you know what you did today?

Yeah. I tried to help my mom, but all I
did was get everybody mad.

Do you know what the word catalyst
means?

Isn't that something terrible?

No. It's the reason something got
started.

When you met Walter Jackson today, you
were a catalyst in his life. Dan

too.

Really? God made me a catalyst?

Mm -hmm.

God does it a lot.

Sometimes you start out trying to do one
good thing, and you end up doing

something even better.

You may not have found your father
today, Danny, but you helped some other

people find peace.

And they'd like to say thank you.

Hi. You ready?

Hi, Danny.

I just wanted to make sure you got home
all right.

Yeah, I did.

How's your mom?

She's gonna be okay.

That's great.

I bet she's a really nice lady.

Yeah, you'd like her.

Well, I'm glad I got to meet you.

And I want to thank you for knocking on
our door today.

I was a catalyst, you know.

Yes, you were, honey.

And I was a big jerk.

I have been for a long time.

But God willing...

Things are about to change.

Oh, I thank God it's really willing.

Hey, I really hope you find your dad,
Danny.

And when you do, I hope he realizes what
a great kid you are.

Thanks.

Hey, kid.

Did you get an angel, too? Oh, yeah.

It's been Angel City in Silver Springs
today, I hear.

So, are you happy right now?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

Thinking of getting a little house
there. Put down some roots, see what

I did that?

Yep.

You had the guts to go someplace you'd
never been before just to find your

dream, even though you knew you might
not find it.

Faith like that.

Can move mountains.

So, I figure I ought to give it a try.

Settle down, maybe make a few friends.

You want to be one of them?

Okay.

Well, if I couldn't find my dad, at
least I got to be a catalyst.

Don't give up hope, Danny.

God, timing is different from yours.

And you never know who's out there
making things happen.

Oh, he's the Catalyst King.

You know how fast you were going, ma
'am? I know. I've been doing nearly 90

almost 30 minutes.

What took you so long?

Officer Jackson.

It's a really nice job, Donnie.

Thanks.

There's a visitor here. Oh, she's
asleep.

She came to see Danny.

This is Officer Jackson.

Jackson? Jackson.

Um... Oh.

Maybe we should, uh... Yeah, yeah, I
could use some coffee.

Hi, Danny.

Hi.

Did I do something wrong?

No.

No.

I heard you were in Silver Springs
looking for your dad yesterday.

Yeah, but I didn't find him.

Wearing your mom's locket, huh?

Yeah, how'd you know?

The way you never give up.

That's the first thing on the list.

You mean the hundred things you like
about Nicole?

Yeah.

She used to keep the list in that
locket.

She's only got me in there right now.

See?

She kept it.

It's behind your picture here.

Number two, the way you bite your lower
lip when you think.

Hey, I do that too.

Number three through 100, the 98 ways...
You make me smile.

Could you smile for me, please?

Daddy?

How'd you find me?

That is a long story.

Do you believe in angels?

Yeah.

And I believe in families, too.

I've thought about this moment for a
long time.

Me too.

Me too.

You know what you are, Danny?

You are reason number 101.

What they say, what they say.

They seem very happy.

Well, good.

Well, that's it then, huh?

Oh, no, it's not over yet.

There's a kid named Jackson playing air
guitar.

He could use some guidance.

Ted, is that really necessary? Don't
complain to me, Miss Waynes.

If the father says we go talk to Mr.
Guitar Boy, we go talk to Mr. Guitar

If the father says we do the hokey
pokey, we do the hokey pokey, and I

want to hear another word about it.

What's a hokey pokey?

Amen.
