All language subtitles for Touched by an Angel s09e08 Remembering Me 1

Welcome to our show.

The green -winged macaw comes from the
tropical rainforest of South America,

where it feeds on fruits and seeds.

What a colorful bird.

Let's send our macaw back inside.

I'm working on it. We should have it
done by next week.

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

This is very unusual.

Yes, I've never seen this happen before.
I mean, not to an angel.

Then why me?

Human beings ask that question all the
time.

But I guess it's a mystery. Are you
afraid?

Not for myself.

Well, Monica is strong. She doesn't need
you.

I know that, but does she know that?

You know, this isn't going to be easy.

Not for anyone.

But God will take care of it and use it
for good.

God bless you, my friend.

Father, please give me the strength I
need to go through this.

Ted, are you coming?

Yes.

Is anything wrong, Tess?

Yeah, just... Some days are harder than
the others.

Yeah, but at least we get to face them
together.

I love you, angel girl.

I love you too, Tess.

Sometimes... Sometimes letting go is the
hardest thing to do.

Come on, Sanford.

Right now, we're looking for a volunteer
with a $5 bill.

Right out here, this young lady.

Oh, she's going to get her $5 bill.

The merger will become final in about
six weeks.

No, the transition process alone takes
some time.

Yeah, well, several weeks at least.

Hey, Daddy, I need a $5 bill.

It's an integration process. The
shareholders are going to want to know

We're eliminating redundancies on the
work... Here she comes. Take that $5

hold it between your thumb and index
finger, and hold it straight out to the

side.

Very good.

What do we do with all those nice $5
bills?

Right in my little pocket. Wasn't that
fun? All right, very good.

Would you like your $5 back?

Okay, hold out your hand again. When you
feel him touch it against your hand,

just close your fingers on the bill.

Close. You're wonderful.

Thank you. Good job. All right.

That man's overdue for a priority check.

He could learn something from that
David.

Test that is, David.

You know what I meant. I meant he could
learn something from the other one.

You mean Alex?

Yeah, where is the other one?

The Harris Hawk.

What happened? It's a red -tailed hawk.
Red -tailed hawks are the most common

large hawks found in North America. Here
he comes.

On crude oil, on electricity, on water.

But he cannot tell you the name of...

of his daughter's favorite book.

He doesn't know who her best friend is,
and he cannot tell you how many goals

she made in her last soccer game.

It's easy to say what he needs.

No, baby, it's not as easy as you think.

You can lose the most precious things in
the world and not even know they're

gone. And don't you forget that.

I won't. No, no, baby, I mean, don't you
forget that no matter what happens.

Thank you. We hope you enjoy the show.

I'm an African elephant, and he's 40
years old. Oh.

Wow, that's really old. Oh, very funny.

Well, we can get figures as soon as
possible.

What? What?

Hold on a second. What? You said you
were going to spend the day with us. I

spending the day with you. No, you're
spending it with your phone.

There's a lot going on right now,
Carrie.

Yeah, I'm back.

Come on, let's get out of here.

We have access to Arizona.

Look, Tess.

Two fathers, two children. One is making
money, the other is making memories.

Which do you suppose will be more
valuable in 30 years? You already know

answer to that.

Yeah. But I don't think that David does.

Shouldn't it be getting cooler by now?

Why don't you sit down and I'll give you
both a drink?

Thank you.

Stripy, horsey -looking thing.

Zebra.

Zebra.

Yes.

Funny -looking thing, isn't it?

Zebra.

Well,

your merger and acquisition proposal all
seems fine.

Oh, I have to say, I'm surprised Kevin
Riley isn't a part of your team. Mr.

Riley left to spend more time with his
family.

Oh, well, good for him.

Mr. Satterfield, you have nothing to
worry about. You and your company are in

good hands because Monica and I have
helped many people through a lot more

difficult transitions than this.

It's a matter of getting your priorities
right.

Right.

Absolutely.

Yes, because Monica and I have helped
many people through a lot more difficult

transitions than this.

So you said.

Oh, so we thought we'd introduce
ourselves before we get started this

Yeah, well, it's always a good idea to
familiarize yourself with the territory

first.

Unfortunately, I have a...

Lunch meeting with my head of sales in a
few minutes, so if you'd excuse me.

Susan, when you call Carrie, let her
know I'm going to miss the parents'

conference this evening.

She's not going to be happy. Yeah, well,
I can't help that.

Hello. Hi.

Mind if I get your trash now, Mr.
Satterfield? No, you go ahead.

Anything else?

Uh, no.

That zoo is something, huh?

Yeah.

Hes, please don't take this the wrong
way, but I've been noticing lately that

you... The light is green.

Hed?

What's wrong?

What am I supposed to do?

The drive -thru?

How?

Tess, what's wrong?

Where are you going?

Tess?

Tess?

Excuse me, is everything okay here?

Well, uh, my friend, we're having a
problem with the car.

It's okay.

What's your name?

Her name is Tess.

Hi, Tess.

I'm Dr. Coburn.

Are you in pain?

Does she have a regular physician?

No.

Bring her by my office tomorrow.

Thank you.

You'll be doing the driving from now on,
angel girl.

All right, Tess, just one more question.

Who's the president of the United
States?

Now?

Yes.

I don't remember his name, but his
father was president also.

That's right.

Take your time.

John Quincy Adams.

Well, you certainly know your history.

Baby, you have no idea.

I'd like to run a brain scan.

Do some more comprehensive blood work.

Isn't necessarily Alzheimer's, though,
Doctor, is it? Well, the indicators are

there.

The brain scan will tell us a little
more. And we'll run some other tests to

eliminate other possibilities.

It came on so fast.

Everybody progresses differently.

Let's just get these tests scheduled.

And then we'll go from there.

Well, I don't understand this.

Maybe they should run a brain scan on
you, Miss Williams.

I mean, I don't understand why this is
happening.

Why don't we just take you home?

I mean, back to heaven.

Yes. No, I have to stay here.

Perhaps it's not something to get
worried about. I mean, do you remember

time when I became an elderly human
being temporarily?

So you think we should just ignore this?

Well... No, but Tess... Don't but Tess
me with wings.

This is new territory.

We don't know how it's going to work
out.

So what should we do?

Finish our assignments.

Tess, if this is Alzheimer's and it's
progressing this quickly, there may come

time when we... I need supervision.

Yeah.

That's true.

What's your point?

Well, if Monica needs to spend time with
David and my assignments are taking me

all over the world, then I might need to
be put someplace.

Yeah. Like a nursing home?

Fine.

Absolutely not.

Excuse me? We started this assignment
together and we will finish it together

and then we'll go on to the next one and
the next one and the next one and

that's the end of that discussion.

acquisitions could be handled by our
sales department.

That would eliminate two tiers of upper
management.

That doesn't make sense.

Did you say something, Pat?

Yes, I'll be right back.

Maybe I should go with her.

Oh, give the lady some breathing room,
Monica.

These last few days, you jump every time
she sneezes.

All right, page 14, paragraph C. Here we
are, mergers and acquisitions.

Let's take a look at that.

Mr. Satterfield, your daughter is on
line one.

Excuse me.

Hi, sweetie.

Yeah, I know. I know your place tonight,
but I have to work.

Yeah, I'm sorry, honey, but this can't
wait.

Yeah, okay. I'll try to call you later.

All right. Bye.

Okay. Where were we?

Mergers and acquisitions. Okay.

The absenteeism of the call -in center
is a problem. We need to address that.

David, what time is it?

Three o 'clock.

Tess has been gone for an hour.

Susan, is Tess out there with you?

Well, I know.

She's over here.

Oh, we need to continue this tomorrow.

Are you kidding me? Monica, we need to
make some decisions about the call -in

center.

Beth, what's wrong?

I wanted to go see that zebra again, but
I don't remember how to get there.

That's all right.

I'll take you.

It's taken us two weeks to cut the
budget, Monica, and now you want to add

it? Flex days help to increase
productivity and job satisfaction.

Not enough.

to justify the cost of the program.
Wouldn't you like some flex days so you

could spend more time with your
daughter?

Fear not.

Excuse me?

Tess, you haven't said one helpful thing
in any of our meetings over the past

two weeks.

Now, are you part of this or not?

There's no need to raise your voice.
Well, I'm sorry, but there is every

to raise my voice.

We've got a deadline. to meet here, and
it's coming up fast.

Now, do either of you two realize that?

Yeah.

Susan said you were having a problem
with your death clamp, Mr. Caterpillar.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It just
stopped working. I had Susan change the

but... I'll check the wiring.

Thanks.

At least someone around here is doing
their job.

Alex, wouldn't you like to have a
more...

Flexible schedule that would allow you
more time at your son's activities?

Well, sure. Who wouldn't?

In the beginning, God created the
heavens and earth.

Yes, he did.

Where are we going?

We're working here, Tess. Remember?

Oh.

Where are we going?

I'll get this fixed right away.

Yeah, thanks.

Where are we going?

Monica, may I have a word with you?

Do you want to tell me what's going on?

Tess is showing the early symptoms of
Alzheimer's disease, but she's going to

fine. Monica.

If Tess has Alzheimer's, she's not going
to be fine.

That's not the way this disease works. I
know that's normally true, but... It's

true always.

But I'm sure this isn't easy, but we
both have a job to do.

I know.

We can't have this distraction.

There's nowhere else for her to go.

I know a place that comes highly
recommended. They'll take good care of

I can't do that.

I'll get the number.

We provide the basics, and you bring the
personal touches.

Pictures, keepsakes, that kind of thing.
This is only temporary, Tess, until I

finish our assignment, and then I'll
take you home.

You said I was going to stay with you.

I tried, Tess.

It's always difficult at first.

There's a call button on the side of the
bed if you need anything.

Oh, I'm not going to need anything.

I'm an angel.

This is only temporary.

You want to stay here.

I know, but I really need to finish our
assignment.

I'll go with you, and I'll help you.

No.

You'll be fine here, I promise.

And I'll come back later.

I don't want to stay here. I want to go
with you.

Not this time, Tess.

I don't want to stay here.

But God reveals everything in its own
time.

I like the green one, but the blue one
is nice.

I heard the tornado siren today.

Hi, Monica.

Hello, Alex.

This is my friend, Andrew.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, that's my dad, Carlos.

I better catch up. You need some help?

Oh, thanks.

Asked them for chocolate, but they only
had blueberry.

I asked them for chocolate, but they
only had blueberry.

I kept them at home for a long time.

But I come by every night, feed them
dinner.

Isn't that right, Appa?

These aren't my clothes.

Where are my clothes?

So what are you doing here, Monica?

I brought Tess here.

This is a nice place.

They'll take good care of her.

Of course, the Tower of London is much
larger.

I like the way the cheese melts over the
bread.

This is my wife.

Nice to meet you both.

This is Irene Satterfield.

As in David Satterfield?

This is his mother.

There you are.

God reveals everything in his own time.

Does she have any family?

Oh, yes, she has lots and lots of
family.

But they're very far away.

I'm her closest friend.

She's always taken care of me.

Well, that's just the way life is,
honey.

She took care of you.

Now it's your turn.

Hello, Tess.

Oh, Monica.

It's been three days.

Don't you think you should get out of
bed?

How was your lunch?

The food is terrible.

Would you like me to get you something
else? I'm not hungry. I just finished

lunch.

I could really use some Tess wisdom. I'm
having a hard time with my assignment.

I just can't get through to him.

Oh, and he has an answer for everything.

Meanwhile, he's missed two of his
daughter's soccer matches and his wife

but given up on him.

That's wonderful.

Tess, it's not. If he doesn't change,
he's about to lose everything.

Well, you just go right ahead.

Are you listening to me?

Is it lunchtime yet?

You've already had lunch.

It must be time for lunch now.

What should I say to David?

Well, I like tuna fish. Could I have a
tuna fish sandwich?

Tess, are you listening to me?

Good afternoon, ladies.

How are you doing today, Tess?

She hasn't got out of bed.

I see.

Any pain?

No, there doesn't seem to be.

Thank you, Monica.

Let's hear what Tess has to say.

There aren't any physical limitations
that are keeping you in bed as far as I

can see.

And I'd sure like to see you up and
around a little more.

Good.

You're doing just fine, Monica.

Just remember, it's going to take her a
little more time to respond to things

than it used to. And she won't always
get it right, but that's okay.

Just let her try.

Help us.

Who are you talking to?

To God.

I talk to him all the time, you know.

Yes, David, I will get those numbers for
you.

It's just that I've been running a bit
behind.

Okay, fine.

I'll see you then.

I'm messing everything up.

You need to cut yourself some slack.

You are one angel, and you're doing the
work for two, and you're spending all

your free time here with Tess.

I yelled at her, Andrew. God forgive me.
I yelled at her.

I know it's not her fault, but I really
needed her to help me, and she wasn't

paying attention, and I... Monica, I
don't think that Tess can help you

Thank you, Susan.

David, I'm sorry I'm late, but I was
thinking, and I have this idea.

Your daughter has another soccer match
in an hour. We could take the budget

there, go over it, and watch the game.

Do you realize this merger closes in two
weeks and we're not even halfway

through yet? I know that we're a little
behind, but think of your daughter.

How many things are you going to miss in
her life before she stops asking you to

be part of it? My family's not your
concern.

But it should be your concern.

When I see you ignoring your wife and
your daughter in the same way that you

ignore your mother... What?

Your mother is in the same nursing home
as Tess.

When was the last time that you went to
visit her?

We have a real problem here, Monica.

I know that we do.

And I have a dilemma, too, because I
have a job to do, and I can't abandon

But I can't abandon my friend, either. I
love her.

So, um...

I'm just going to go ahead and tell you
what I know. Monica. Things happen in

this world, David.

And we sometimes aren't given the
answers that we would like to have.

But we are always given the time with
the people we love before it's too late.

Please, don't throw your time away.

How dare you presume to know anything
about me? All my life.

Let me tell you what I know.

My mother.

was the smartest, most creative, loving
woman in the world. And I would have

done anything for her.

But none of that matters anymore because
that woman is gone.

And this one doesn't even know I'm
there.

And if I choose to work a little harder
these days and do what I have to do to

keep things together, then damn you for
deciding that's wrong.

All right, tell him I'll be right there.

I'm hiring a new transition team.

Well, no, David, really, I can do it.
No, you cannot do this.

You have some place you have to be right
now until you discover you can't go

there anymore either.

Gentlemen, thank you for coming.

I tried, I tried to do both, but I
couldn't.

While I was there, all I could think
about was you, and I think that that's

and right, because I love you, and God
knows that I do, and I'm sure that's why

he sent Sam and Raphael to take over the
case.

What is this place?

This is a nursing home.

What is this place?

It's a nursing home, Tess.

What is this place?

It's a safe place, Tess.

A good place.

I think... I think I know that.

I'm sorry, baby.

The Lord moves in mysterious ways His
wonders to

perform He plants His footsteps on the

sea And He rides on every stone

Let's sing a song, huh? What would you
like

to sing, Tess?

Fast falls the eventide

The darkness

deepens

Is

it really

so dark in there, Tess?

God, please, no.

Death.

Oh, death.

Death. Oh, no.

Death.

Father, please, help her.

Abide with me.

Please, don't sing that song again.

Where do you live?

In heaven.

Where do you live?

In heaven.

Where do you live? In heaven. I live in
heaven. In heaven. I'm an angel. We're

angels. We live in heaven.

Sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I know it's not your fault.

It's no one's fault.

Oh, Sam.

Sam, this is so hard.

Yes, it is.

Well, hello, old friend.

She's gone.

We've lost her.

Hey, you know that that is not true.

Oh, it is true, Sam.

She doesn't know who you are. She
doesn't even know who I am.

But she knows God.

Don't you, Tess?

The darkness deepens.

Lord, with me abide.

We need to have a talk about this. It's
too late to talk to her. No, not to her,

Monica.

I need to talk to you.

Sam, you don't need to do this.

I know that he holds Tess in his hands.

And I know that he holds me in his
hands.

It's just that it still hurts. It hurts
so much.

Well, you know where to go when it
hurts.

God, forgive me. I can't go there right
now. I'm just so angry with God.

God didn't give this to Tess.

I know that.

How many times have I said the same
thing to other people myself?

But I'm angry because I don't understand
this. It makes no sense.

No, it doesn't. At least not yet. But
all we need to know now, Monica, is that

this too shall pass.

Perhaps not tomorrow, perhaps not for a
thousand years, but God will take the

weaknesses of this world and use them to
make us stronger.

Stronger?

I've never felt so weak.

I simply can't bear another day of
watching Tess just slip away from me.

Sam, I can't bear it.

Well, now you know how David feels.

May I talk to you? I'm busy.

What do you want?

I want to apologize.

Please forgive me. I was so consumed
with my own loss that I couldn't see how

much pain you were into.

You just don't give up, do you?

I almost did.

There was a moment when it hurt so much
that I wanted to walk away, like you

did.

Tess was in a place that I couldn't go
to, just like your mother.

But they didn't go anywhere, did they?

That's the problem.

They are still sitting there.

At least their bodies are.

But it's not them.

It's not the woman who showed me how to
tie a tie or spent hours teaching me how

to dance. I wouldn't embarrass myself at
the prom.

That woman in that place?

That's not the one who stayed up with me
for almost a week when I had the month

or held my daughter and told me she had
my eyes?

She's no one.

She's a stranger.

So why should I care, Monica?

Why should I waste one more minute of my
life watching her drift farther and

farther away from me?

Because your mother's spirit is still
with her.

She may not be able to communicate it,
but she can feel your love.

I wish there was a way you could really
know that.

There is, David.

I am an angel.

What? I am an angel, and God has sent me
here with a message for you.

You're an angel?

Yes.

No, that doesn't make any sense.

It's true.

I know that it's hard for you to
believe, especially because I haven't

much like an angel with you, and I am so
sorry for that.

But I hope that the lesson of my
weakness will help you to become strong.

But if you're an angel, then who's Tess?

Tess is an angel, too.

How can an angel have Alzheimer's?

I don't know.

Terrible things happen in this world,
David.

To humans and sometimes even to angels.

But God is strong.

Strong enough to carry us through the
pain. He's strong enough to help us face

the difficult days ahead.

God will hold us in his hands if we let
him.

Because he loves us.

But he wants us both to know that even
if we have lost those that we love, we

can mourn them, but we must never turn
away from them.

We must never let the pain become so
great that we lose

our memories too.

I'm running behind tonight.

Are you going to be working late again?
I don't think so.

You look a little tired. Are you taking
care of yourself?

No, I'm fine.

You know, deep down in a spirit, your
dad wouldn't mind if you were a little

late.

What are you talking about?

Your dad.

How do you know about that?

I know a lot of things, Alex.

Terrible son for putting him in that
place.

I'm a terrible person. No, you're not. I
tried to bring him home, as he did with

his mom, but I couldn't.

It wasn't safe in the apartment so
small.

And you're doing a great job.

You've honored your father, as God
commands his children.

You've protected him.

And you haven't forgotten him.

God loves you, and he's very pleased
with you, Alex.

You're a good son.

Somehow I feel better.

Thank you.

I don't know why this is taking so long.
It never used to take this long.

Maybe it's time to buy a new one.

Buy a new what, Irene?

I like the crunchy ones.

You look familiar.

I look like you, Papa.

You look familiar.

I know.

Nikki,

come and pick up Irene's pork cream.

Mind if I join you?

Dr. Satterfield.

No, please have a seat.

Let's just make it David, huh?

So, how are you doing, Mom?

Dennis?

No, Dennis was my dad.

I'm David.

I'm very happy to meet you, David.

This is my husband.

I'm pleased to meet you, sir.

Are you my grandson?

No.

I'm your son.

But you've got a granddaughter I'd like
you to meet.

This... This is Maggie.

Hi, Grandma.

Isn't she beautiful?

We need to vote.

So what's for dessert, hmm? Something
sweet.

Upside down.

You know, in all these years, I never
really thought I could fail.

Because I had you to back me up.

Isn't it amazing all the things that
people put their faith in besides God?

David counted on...

money and success.

I counted on you.

Without you, I was lost.

But now I am found.

I am an angel of the Most High God.

And I truly believe with all my heart
that you won't be in this darkness much

longer.

Fear not.

You are coming back, aren't you, Tess?
