Original subtitles

For eons,

there was only silence.

Love was the first creation.

With it came life,

and then, humankind.

Through life and death, they looked to the heavens

and discovered Genesis is eternal.

Hope was born.

From the darkness comes the light.

And all things are possible...

...if you believe.

Who's your buddy? Who's your buddy?

Who's your buddy? Who's your buddy?

Who's your buddy? That's right.

Who's your buddy?

- Way to be, Hansen. Way to be. - And it's a foul.

Seven million dollars not to get any hits.

Great pickup by the front office.

Really takin' this team places.

Fourth-year rookie who was a

second draft pick overall.

- Bat is swung. Ball is hit and... - Hey!

- Going, going. - We got a hit. We got a hit.

- It is out of the park. - He got us a hit.

We got a hit.

I am inside

...where we have a few dedicated folks

boning up on their astronomy.

Teresa, we got any more of that lasagna left?

This is something that the entire world...

Bud, we just ate. You can't

still be hungry.

Yeah, Grandpa, you can't still be hungry.

What are you lookin' for?

The meaning of life. You're not gonna find it there.

No, I'm just checking to see if there's enough

for my lunch tomorrow.

Oh, you did a great job

with dinner tonight, sweets.

Yeah, it was better than your grandma's.

- I learned from the best. - I know you did, sweetie.

You know, if anything ever happens to me,

I have written all my granny's secret recipes in a diary.

She always said that was the most valuable thing

she brought out of Italy.

I know. I know, Nana.

You keep it locked up under your mattress.

I promise you her secrets are safe with me.

You-- You can tease me all you want,

but your generation doesn't know anything about ancestors.

Huh, when I die, so will all our family traditions.

Okay, that's not fair. I was the only girl in my class,

and you had to butcher a hog and make sausages.

All right. There's hope for humanity.

Did I hear somebody say something about sausages?

- Yeah. - Could you make some tomorrow?

Yeah. We'll do 'em up just for you, Bud.

Thank you, sweetie... very much.

Be careful not to look too early or too late.

And, as you know, an eclipse such as this one,

you will be able to look directly at it

as the moon will be in front of the sun.

Uh, so basically, what's gonna happen next...

Oh, I gotta get that washin' before it rains.

- I'll get it. - Thank you, sweetie.

...very interesting. If you look up here,

this diagram of the planets

is actually a good representation

of what will happen tomorrow morning in the occultation.

Uh, now, I do love that word, occultation. It sounds like a

death metal band or something, doesn't it?

It's wonderful.

As you may know, uh, an eclipse

generally lasts on average about seven minutes.

I found this outside. Is it yours?

No, sweetheart.

Oh, my.

It's beautiful.

Where'd you find it?

I found it out by the well.

It must have long been buried by some little girl.

All it needs is a cleaning.

Be damned having faith in that boy.

Bud, please.

Losing, Grandpa?

No, honey, we're, uh-- we're up by two points, but...

...hell, with our pitchin', that ain't enough.

You know, there's two boys at your high school could do better,

they're a bunch of flabby chickens, oughta fire the lot of 'em.

Don't worry, Bud, the season's not over.

I am worried.

I'm worried about you, Teresa. I'm worried about Aisling.

- Bud. - Whole damn country,

whole world's goin' to hell, ain't nobody doin' nothin' about it.

Damn weather doesn't know whether it wants to shit, burp, or fart,

don't know what to plant.

-Bud. -What?

It's been a long day.

It's time to curb the cussin' and stop the carryin' on.

I will curb the cussin'.

But I can't quit from carryin' on.

I'm going to bed.

Oh?

Goodnight, Nana.

Night... Grandpa.

Nighty night.

Hey.

There's nothing botherin' you?

No.

-Nothin'. -What are you talking about, woman?

What could be wrong? Aisling's got everything she needs.

Ain't that right, honey?

Yes, Grandpa.

See? Told you so.

Hey, um, Joe's comin' by tomorrow

with a couple of squeezes of alfalfa.

I'll make sure it's put up in the barn.

Night.

Night.

Now I'm gettin' the hot flashes.

You're a worry-wart.

-Yes, I am. -Mm-hmm.

I have to worry about you, ya big old bear.

Yes, you are. Come on.

- Where? - No, come on.

-Trust me. -Oh, no.

Trust you? Last time I trusted you,

you know what happened.

Guys, these negotiations have been dragging on for months.

It's been a year since my father died.

We need to settle this now.

I'm still not seeing the number that I'm looking for, Ken.

I have other obligations in Italy.

Well, then you should go back. I love Italy.

It's beautiful. Its history is amazing.

The Roman Empire gave us law, medicine, politics.

But the greatest achievement of all is right here.

Architecture.

And we will take care

of the place.

Accept our offer, it's our best and final.

Give us a moment.

This guy.

You know, there was a day

when the Chateau was one of a kind.

My dad and my grandfather knew that most people couldn't afford

to go to Italy to see the real Colosseum.

So they built the Chateau. They were visionaries.

They were ahead of their time, but they were also

hopeless romantics. And I have to keep

my feet on the ground.

He has a number in his head.

And we gotta go up.

I'm talking up 15, 20%. Can we do that?

Okay. No more than 20%.

Okay, here we go. Watch me work.

And no one knows this place exists.

They'd rather go to Vegas.

Your grandfather said that Italy was the heart

and soul of civilization,

and that America was this... new undiscovered world

where you could share a little bit of your heart

without losing your soul.

Josh...

...this was their heart and soul.

And now it's yours.

Lights out.

-Hey. -Hey.

Oh, my God. It's so good to see you.

-I know. How are you doing? -I'm good.

You're up late.

Yeah, I just got home.

Of course you did. You must be drunk.

Oh, my God.

No... Maybe.

Oh, tell me everything. How's London?

Oh, my God, it's amazing.

But I so wish that you were here.

Oh, so do I.

When are you coming to visit me?

Um...

I don't know.

Soon, I hope.

Yeah. I-- I don't believe you.

Lyd, you know I wanna be there. It's just...

I can't just abandon my grandparents.

Ash, all that you're gonna do is you're gonna come

and visit me and we're gonna have fun.

Lyd, you don't understand. I'm managing pretty much

everything now.

I'm sure that they'd be willing

to give you a break.

They've got no one else.

I've gotta go.

Okay. I really miss you, Ash.

I really miss you too. I'm sorry.

Call me again soon, okay?

Okay. I love you.

I love you. Bye.

Bye.

Come in.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

It's okay.

Was that Lydia? How is she?

She's doing great.

You miss her.

It's strange not having her around.

What is it, honey?

She wants me to visit.

Oh,

I think that's a wonderful idea.

-You do? -Mm.

I thought you'd be upset.

No. Why would I be upset?

Well, I haven't been that far away since--

Well, I know. I know, I know, I know.

I want to travel.

I want to see the world.

Oh...

We have never wanted to stop you.

As I recall, we encouraged you to go

to college outta state,

or to do that study

abroad program with Lydia.

I know.

I stopped me.

Yeah...

Ever since mom and dad died, I've--

I've been afraid.

Afraid to leave the farm,

to leave you and grampy, and...

I feel like I have this hole in my heart

I can't fix.

I just wanna feel normal.

I will never forget the day you came to live with us.

We were still in shock.

We were never gonna see our daughter again.

And there you were...

...like your mother in so many ways.

But with that sweet little Irish lilt,

you made us smile every time you said, "Good morning."

You have been our miracle.

You have saved us from our grief.

But... just like we had to keep living our lives without them,

you're gonna have to start living yours without us.

Sooner or later.

Please go.

Don't worry.

What if things don't work out for me?

Yeah, well, life can be scary sometimes...

...but if you don't take risks, you'll never be happy.

I love you so much.

-I love you. -Mm-hmm.

Help me, please.

I can't do this on my own.

Relax.

I did test it.

You did?

Alright, steady now.

Stop.

Stopping.

I am really curious what's gonna happen when I flip this switch.

I thought you tested it?

- Wow. - Look at that.

Stop! Don't move! We'll shoot to kill. I repeat.

We'll shoot to kill.

Stop, don't move.

We'll shoot to kill.

I repeat, we will shoot to kill.

Leave him.

I can't.

Come on!

Their offer is more than fair.

What would your father say?

Don't.

Stop making this about you.

Look man, you're being selfish.

Joshua.

You'll regret this.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Look, Josh, go somewhere.

Clear your head, man. Take your time.

You-- You're thinking emotional on this.

You don't have to make a decision

right now, Josh. Listen, ma--

No, I'm done.

Make sure they match my offer.

Adam star 119, affirmative.

Formation pursuit. Tujunga Bridge. Suspects not in range.

Adam 119.

Echo star formation pursuit

confirmed. All units on the ground,

proceed with caution.

Adam 119, echo star roger.

All units continue street search on 15th,

14th, and 13th street

off Tujunga Bridge.

13th, 14th and 15th street.

Adam 119, echo star roger, responding.

Remain on channel two.

So... how much is this job worth?

Five.

What is it?

Running stones to Venezuela.

Split is 20% for the two of you. The rest for me.

Oh... Wait, why?

Our cut's usually 40%.

That's the way it is.

Soon as we hit the tarmac in Caracas, we get our money,

and go our separate ways.

What do you mean? Like for good?

Yeah. Yeah, for good.

Look man. I know you took the fall for on that last one--

That's right. I did.

And that's not happening again.

If you're smart, this money will last you a long time

and go a long way.

Yeah, and after that?

It's not my problem.

We are too connected.

And you are too distracted.

Hey, just 'cause gambling Sam here can't handle Vegas,

it don't mean I gotta get stiffed on this.

You?

You're only here because he's too stupid to realize how much

of a liability you are.

I don't like you.

And I don't trust you.

He wants you here, he's gonna pay you out of his.

You don't like that, the road is that way.

Would you just be cool, man? You know how he is. I told you.

Just don't rub him the wrong way.

Without him, what do we got?

What do you got?

Why don't he like me, huh?

Huh? I'm a standup guy.

Huh? I'm a standup guy!

Yeah, you're a standup guy.

I'll talk to him. Schmuck.

Come on, Pete.

I'm in trouble, man.

Okay? I got debts, man.

They will not let me walk this time.

Yeah, I know.

Look... I'll handle it.

I promise her I'd look out for you

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Set you up in a new country, new life.

But if you mess that up...

...I'll kill you myself.

Great.

Get in the car, man.

Copy 1500.

Cut the engine.

Good evening, Aisling.

No, no. Don't be alarmed.

I mean you no harm.

Good Lord.

Just look at the green.

I must have been on this planet a trillion times at least.

And I'm-- I'm always overwhelmed

by the sheer beauty of this place.

You have no idea how fortunate you are.

- Who are you? - You know who I am.

I am Raphael,

Archangel of Providence.

How does it go now? Ah, yes!

When you seek divine counsel to guide you on which path

to take along the road of life, you call upon me.

And some element of my towering presence will enter your

heart and mind and guide and comfort you.

At least that's what it says in the book.

The truth of the matter is, since Vatican II,

the job description has expanded exponentially.

That's a bit of an in joke...

...but I find it very funny.

Hm.

Ah...

We've been waiting for a long time...

...for you to make your wish.

And tonight, at last, you did.

Remember?

Please...

...don't scream...

...for I will show you something wondrous.

Give me your hand.

- It feels alive. - Yes.

Well, that is because it is alive.

Though, it's not life as you know it.

Aisling, this is your time.

Right now, tonight, all the elements have come together.

And that is not as easy as you might imagine.

And it is certainly not random.

But I warn you, before your wish can be fulfilled,

you may have to make a choice

that may be the most important

one of your life.

Do you understand?

I'm--

I'm too old to believe.

Oh, Aisling. I am as old as time.

I believe. And you believe too, in your heart of hearts.

You know what's in my heart.

Of course I do. I have read the book on you,

the up-to-date version.

Would you like a copy?

Everything?

Everything from day one.

Makes sensational reading.

But don't worry,

your secrets are safe with me.

Ah, yes.

Your beautiful mother always

wanted you to have this.

Now, this is just for you.

No one else must see it or touch it.

Because if they do, things get very, very complicated.

There.

Are you ready?

Then run!

Get the car.

I thought angels were supposed to have wings.

I do. You don't, yet.

Come, come!

What's wrong with you people?

-Are you insane? -Please help us!

Get in the car, get in the car.

Move!

Did you see what I just did?

Shut up!

Guys, guys!

"Love is the big boss.

At whose side forever slouches, the shadow of the gunman."

Hey, stop shooting.

We can't let them get away, Pete.

Not now.

Aim for their tires.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You know, I once rode

with Scorpus the charioteer.

Gifted boy. "O Rome.

I am Scorpus, the glory of your noisy circus.

The object of your applause.

-Your short-lived favorite." -You done?

Yes. Yes. I'm done. But I can give you some more.

-No, no, no, no, no. We're-- -All good, then.

Ahhh!

Don't let go!

Why would I want to let go? Why don't we try it?

-No, no, no! -No!

Wee!

Come on! Now! I said--

Come on!

Come on, come on!

We've lost 'em.

For the time being.

What's so funny?

What's so funny? Huh?

Life is funny. Life.

Freddy! Freddy!

-What happened? -Don't ask.

We need to get across now. Call the cops,

tell them there's three armed men on their way

to the pier. Call the Chateau security.

Have him alert the special guard unit now.

Yes sir.

-What the hell do they want? -You really want to know?

I really, really wanna know. Yes.

A star.

A star?

A wishing star to be exact.

You see that little group up there

Antares, Sirius, Aldebaran, Regulus, and Arcturus?

Yeah, I see 'em. What about them?

Well, Levitus is missing.

-Levitus? -Levitus.

Not there. Missing.

Levitus is a blue star. Blue stars are wishing stars.

The men who are chasing us want Levitus.

-You're a comedian, aren't you? -No,

but WC Fields told me a cracking good story yesterday.

-Would you like to hear it? -WC Fields is dead.

Ah, nobody's perfect.

Bah-boom.

Just-- I-- I'm serious.

Just tell me, who are you?

I am an angel. Actually I'm an archangel.

My name is Raphael, and I want to thank you personally

-for all your efforts so far. -Ah, you-- you--

You're-- You're very, very, very welcome.

Oh, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Isn't-- Isn't your name Virgil?

Yeah. 'Cause, you know what?

I kinda feel like I'm hovering

above the nine circles of hell

right about now.

Well, if you know your Dante,

you know what comes after hell.

Purgatory.

Great. Great.

Followed by paradise, naturally.

Oh, naturally. Of course.

Naturally.

-Freddy, let's go. -Yes, sir.

What a beautiful night, eh?

Beautiful, beautiful.

Don't frown at me like that.

I'm going to sit here.

And when you're ready, you can come and join me.

Oh, did you see that?

That tiny little meteorite.

You know, he has been whizzing

around looking for a place to land for so many millions of years.

I'm glad he finally made it.

Okay.

This is not happening.

This... is not happening.

You're okay.

You're okay.

We had them, Pete. They were right there.

And you let them go. We h--

Are you really that stupid?

Every cop within a hundred miles is looking for us.

You-- You really think those shots won't be reported?

-What about this one? -All right, man.

Yeah, yeah, man, I get it.

I told you to aim for their tires.

-They are no good to me dead. -I said I get it!

- Come on, Pete. - You shut your mouth!

Stand up.

Stand up.

One more time...

...and I will end you.

You get that?

Oh, yeah.

Hide the car. Now.

What about the job?

It can wait.

So-- so what? So we can go chase shiny lights?

It's more than that.

Pete. Seriously, what are we doing here?

Whatever it is...

...it's important.

Yeah.

So is the promise you made my sister.

I remember, Martin.

I remember.

Sorry, Pete.

We-- we don't even know what that is.

It could be completely worthless.

Maybe...

...maybe not.

Come on.

Get in the boat.

I hope you know what you're doing.

I do.

There is a reason for everything that has happened

and everything that will happen.

So my advice to you is hope for the best. Expect the worst.

Please. Can you, uh...

...just be serious for a minute?

Aisling...

...every great achiever has had to overcome difficulties.

Moses,

Martin Luther King,

Mother Teresa, they all had to overcome

enormous difficulties.

Right.

And you knew them all, I suppose.

Oh, yes, I did.

Marvelous people.

I envy you.

I'd give anything to have one of your adventures.

Aisling.

This is one of my adventures.

And, uh, what if this was... all a mistake?

Oh, dear. That sounds very much like guilt.

Well, maybe it is.

I mean, I could have done something good with my wish.

How do you know that you have not done

something wonderful with your wish?

Well, it doesn't feel very wonderful.

Besides, this isn't exactly what I wished for.

Oh, yes, it is.

You wished for the courage

to live your life.

This is your life, Aisling. Live it and live it to the full.

What if I want to change my wish?

Can I do that?

Aisling, your wish is tied up with the eclipse,

which is taking place.

But I have to tell you that if you do change your wish...

...then you change your future.

And not just your material future.

You change all the relationships with those people...

...whose hearts you have touched

and who have touched your heart.

So be very careful what you wish for.

Can you bring them back?

No, Aisling.

I cannot bring back your mother and your father.

That's something we don't do.

But if you do want to change your wish, all I have to do

is adjust my watch.

My...

...very special watch, which connects...

past, present and future.

And which I appear to have dropped. So no,

I cannot change your wish, right all.

-Great. -Oh, don't, don't, don't--

Don't worry about this. Don't worry about this.

Just, where did I-- Ah! I dropped it by the tree.

We better go back and pick it up.

Are they okay?

They are more than okay.

They are in heavenly bliss.

And one day, I promise you...

...you will see them again.

Raphael...

...what's it like up there?

Oh, Aisling. It is...

...everything that you could wish for,

and much, much more.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Fine.

I really am... sorry.

I never meant for any of this to happen.

I'm Giacomo, my friends call me Joshua.

Aisling.

But everyone calls me Aisling.

Aisling. So, uh, what-- what planet are you from again? Uh...

Levitus, Arcturus, eh, or one--

I know he sounds kind of crazy,

but...

...he's a good man.

So you're gonna tell me the truth about

why those guys were chasing you?

I wish I could.

Have you ever been to the Chateau?

No. It seems beautiful.

Is that where we're going?

That's where we're going.

-You work there? -Uh...

It's a long story.

My favorite kind.

Well...

...my great-grandfather,

Francesco Taralo de Ferla, Prince of Ficcara-

You're an Italian prince?

Well, not legitimately.

Uh, my-- my grandfather wasn't considered

a rightful heir, so he was given no title,

no money. Nothing.

And, uh, my grandfather came here with nothing more

but his ambition to succeed.

And he built the Chateau.

My father inherited it.

And I'm about to...

...lose it.

Oh-- Why?

People's tastes changed and we didn't.

Well, that's too bad.

There's nothing you can do?

No.

Do you--

do you hear that music?

It's Puccini's "Turandot."

My mom was singing this opera

the night my parents met in Verona.

Welcome to the Chateau.

- Hey Rick, how are ya? - Oh, I'm all right.

Thank you for asking, and-- and you?

- I'm good. - I hear you've had

an interesting evening.

Yeah, and it's not over yet.

I understand.

Ah, what a charming little place.

The Chateau was voted number one hotel

in the world, three years straight.

Unfortunately, that was a...

few decades ago.

Psyche being revived by Love's kiss.

Beautiful. Isn't it?

Actually, not my taste,

but this...

...now, this is truly spectacular.

Oh, look at my old friend, the Cardinal there painted

by my namesake Raphael.

Ah... Renoir.

Yes, I remember that day at the seaside.

Oh, he loved those red lips.

Oh, Lucas Cranach.

Yes, uh, Cupid complaining to Venus.

-And Titiano! -Tiziano!

- Tiziano. - Tiziano.

Titian.

T-- Tiziano.

Ah, Titian!

The Venus of Urbino.

He used that model often, you know.

They were very close.

Very close.

Oh, Raphael, again, The Goldfinch.

-Diotalevi. -Ah.

-Good evening, sir. -Hi, Marie. Any messages?

Uh, yes, the kitchen manager

wants to know when you'll be free

to discuss the new menu.

Eh-- Tomorrow morning.

And, uh, the keys to the boutique?

-Ah, yes, of course. -Thank you.

-Any other messages? -No, sir.

- Anything else? - Mm-mm.

Girl With The Pearl Earring.

Yes.

You know, she was far more beautiful in real life.

You do realize that these are originals.

- Very funny. - It is, isn't it?

It is.

Yes, it is very funny. Now, listen,

why don't you two go and fi-- find--

find her something to wear, you know?

And in the meantime, I'm gonna sit here

in this chair that I last saw...

...in the reading room...

...of King Ludvig II of Bavaria.

Dear old Ludo, mad as a sack full of weasels.

- But what an artistic soul. - Joshua!

Oh, shit.

Joshua, where have you been keeping yourself?

You promised to call.

I know, Zelda, I have been very busy.

-How are you? -Very lonely.

-Marie, dogs! -Yet, somehow, I find that

-hard to believe. -You're terrible. Alright,

so I haven't been lonely. What am I supposed to do?

Wait for you forever? I missed you.

Come on, let's go dancing. Let's go dancing.

- I can't, I-- I've got-- - Take me dancing, please.

Zelda, I can't. I have work to do.

She's not really your type now, is she?

I mean, she's rather blah, don't you think?

I'm fine here, by the way,

-if you wanna go. -So it's settled then.

Ah, you know, I'll see you

-at the casino. -So I've

nothing to do, but spend the rest of my

night in the casino.

Maybe I'll have

better luck there.

I'll be expecting you.

-I-- I'm sorry about that. -That's okay.

Honestly, though, I don't wanna keep you from... whatever.

Oh-- No, no.

Marie, is there any way you could please tell Grace

to look after that gentleman?

Uh, yes, sir.

Anything he needs.

Certainly.

I have a surprise for you, shall we?

Okay.

- What kind of surprise? - Uh...

You'll see. You'll see.

Hope you, uh-- you like

clothes... dresses.

Now, where was I?

Your friend, Zelda?

She's beautiful.

Yeah. I-- I suppose she is.

Known her long?

A little bit. You know, we-- we--

we met during the semester in Florence

and she's been...

...stalking me around the world ever since.

Please, after you.

Yeah, stalking.

My gift, p-- please help yourself.

Whatever-- whatever you like.

- It's... - Uh-- What? No. Uh--

That's very generous of you.

But you've already done far too much. And...

...I'll be leaving soon, anyway. I'm fine like this.

You can hide me till then if you need to.

W-- Wa--

That's not a bad idea.

What?

I'm serious.

I need you to come with me.

Back there?

I-- I know it sounds creepy,

but you gotta trust me on this one.

Please. It'll be fun, I promise.

Come on.

We'll have fun. Okay?

I have a feeling you'll like this.

Welcome to the VIP tour.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait.

Before we go any further,

you gotta promise me you're not gonna tell anyone

about this.

Why?

You'll understand when you see it,

but first...

...I need your word.

Okay.

You have my word.

You ready?

Oh, I'm ready.

Andiamo.

Careful.

Where are we?

Well, if this is a VIP tour, I'd hate to think what the regular

-one's like. -Just... be patient. Will you?

I promise you,

you won't regret it.

Stop. Don't touch anything.

Why are we whispering?

Because the ghosts are sleeping.

There she is.

That-- That didn't actually do anything,

-did it? -No, but that was cool, right?

Seriously, where are we going?

You'll see.

Chips, big guy.

Thank you, thank you.

I like you.

Oh, there now.

-Pick a number. -Eight.

- Hard eight. - Point is eight.

Place eight.

You ever, uh, been to Paris?

-Once or twice. -Yeah?

-Would you like to go again? -I'd love to.

I know a shortcut.

What brings you to the Chateau?

Ugh...

Let's say I-- I wished on a star.

Did you wish for me?

Once or twice.

Eight a winner!

These are incredible.

So no one else knows about these Catacombs?

No one who's lived to tell about it.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

No, no, no, no. The-- A-- All--

All the walls, they're all booby-trapped.

If you were to touch the wrong stalactite,

there would be a-- a secret door to open.

You would fall into a deadly pit of snakes.

And then I'd be chased by

flesh eating zombies.

I thought you said you'd never been here before.

Maybe I have some secrets of my own.

Huh.

My girlfriend and I came here to work

after high school.

I loved the work so much, I never left.

Joshua's family has always been very good to me.

I've been thinking about retiring, but...

I haven't been able to leave.

Well, I'm glad that you didn't.

Did you know Joshua has to sell the Chateau?

Yes. I had heard.

I guess everybody knows by now.

Joshua is very lucky to have such a caring person

working for him.

In a lot of ways, Joshua's just like his father.

Whoever wins his heart...

...is a lucky woman.

Your mother Alice chose just the right name for you, Grace.

For you have grace in abundance.

Did you know my mother?

Have we met before?

Let's just say I've, uh, been checking you out.

You're a headhunter.

What a lovely idea! Yes. I suppose in a way, I am.

I must confess.

But don't worry, I am not going

to take you away from here

just yet.

When the time is right, there's a place for you.

What did you have in mind?

Well, right now

I was thinking that this

aged body had not danced

for many years.

Would you care to?

I'd be delighted.

Maybe Martin had better luck.

Oh, poor old Martin.

He could not find the light of day

if the sun was shining on him.

Yes! Up top, up top, up top.

Oh... Yeah!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Before we go further,

I need you to close your eyes.

Do I have a choice?

Nope.

Hand please.

Okay.

Okay, just two more steps, okay?

-Okay. -One...

...and...

-I'm sorry. -You little shit.

I'm sorry, I had to do it.

Okay.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

You sure?

Come on.

And...

...open your eyes.

Let's go.

I will take this.

Be my guest.

Oh.

Okay.

They were the most beautiful things

I'd ever seen when I was growing up.

They always came in the summer.

Lighting up the midnight sky.

Just... something I-- I read somewhere.

I would sneak out at night just to watch them.

Sometimes I catch them and put them in a jar

and poke holes in the lid...

Bring it to my room thinking I could keep them

there all summer.

And in the morning they'd be gone.

They only live for one night.

Only one brief moment in time.

So I know nothing about you except for your tendency

for being chased in the middle of the night by strangers

for no apparent reason.

I know your name. Aisling.

What does it mean?

It means vision

or dream, in Gaelic.

-You're Irish? -Born there and proud of it.

Oh, God help us all.

So, do you have a big family?

No, it's just me and my grandparents.

We have a farm.

I look after the horses...

manage the staff,

payroll, inventory.

I basically run the entire section of land.

So you're the CEO, the CFO and Managing Director?

Boss lady.

Bam. We can use someone like you here.

You'd still be best hotel in the world if I was running things.

Oh-ho-ho!

What do you do for fun?

I love to read.

As long as I have a good book,

I can forget about the world around me.

Is the world that bad?

It was.

Once.

What's your favorite book?

Pinocchio.

My mom used to read that to me.

That and the Fables by Calvino.

I've never heard of him.

Oh, yeah. Italo Calvino.

He wrote The Baron in the Trees.

The story of the noble man's son

who rebelled against his father

and decided to live the rest of his life

in the treetops above the ground, renouncing his identity.

Are you the noble man's son?

Eh...

Maybe.

Or maybe...

...I'm Don Quixote.

I gotta keep rowing.

Where did all this stuff come from?

Oh, remember my ancestor, the Italian baron?

This was all his.

Is it real?

Yep.

No wonder you wanna keep this place a secret.

This must be priceless.

I should--

shouldn't be touching stuff, should I?

That's why I brought you here.

Check it out. It's totally fine.

-You sure? -Yes.

Well, I'm gonna go crazy.

You know, I haven't been here since I was a kid.

-Are you kidding? -Mm-mm.

I'd be down here every day

just chilling on my chaise lounge.

- Look at you. - Oh, my God.

What are these, like...

17th century?

Some of them. Yeah.

Darling.

You see... I should have been an actress.

Maybe it's not too late.

Maybe.

Wow, this one's amazing.

You know...

...everyone always said purple's my color.

Try it on.

I'm-- I'm serious. Try it on.

Why not?

Okay.

I'll try it on if you try on the armor.

Okay, deal. Sure.

-Deal? -Deal.

Okay.

No peaking, okay?

I wouldn't dream of it.

What do you think?

Too much, huh?

You should be in full armor.

-Definitely too much. -No, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I'll go change.

"They came forth to contemplate the stars."

-And there they are. -Oh, she's lovely.

Aisling, you look splendid.

-Thank you. -Aisling, meet Grace.

Grace, meet Aisling.

Hi Grace. Nice to meet you.

You look beautiful.

Not the nose, the chin!

Joshua!

You done yet?

Courage.

-Don't you dare-- -Look over here,

- my friend. - No!

Okay, everybody be cool.

Don't do anything stupid.

Nobody move!

And no one will get hurt.

-Wait! -What?

I will come with you.

Aisling!

- Dios mío. - Aisling!

Fifty frickin' grand.

Hi. Yum, yum, yum, yum.

Martin. Come on, buddy.

- We gotta go! - Forget it man,

we gotta bail, come on!

Aisling!

Right. Right.

Second door on the left.

Don't trip over, ah, he's up.

Ah...

Martin,

I have a rendezvous with death

at some disputed barricade.

All men make moral choices.

That will be your last.

Get off me!

Shh, shh, shh.

He will shoot everyone in there

if you make a sound. Do you understand me?

Out of the way!

-Help! -Get off! Get off!

Go! Get out!

Somebody help me!

Please!

-Joshua! -Aisling!

No!

- It's not working. We have to take the stairs.

You can take the stairs.

I'll wait for the elevator.

- You sure? - I think so.

-Just in case they doubled back. -Alright.

Lobby and parry to the left.

It's gonna be okay.

Get out of the way. Hey.

-Joshua! -Hey!

Go, get out of here.

Hey-- Out of-- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Calm down, okay?

Back up.

Just please.

Please.

-You okay? You sure? -Mm.

Okay.

Are you serious, kid?

Oh, yeah, I am.

Agh.

Ah!

You had enough, kid?

I'm barely getting started.

Sorry.

Ah!

Hey old man!

You ain't seen the last of me.

Shut up.

What?

I gotta talk to you, Captain.

I don't know how George could have done that.

I know, Freddy, uh...

Listen, it's been a rough night.

We ready to go?

Yes sir.

Thanks, Fred.

How do you feel?

Happy.

This is 6-1.

Go ahead 6-1.

We're stuck at E-240.

We have a new ETA, 0900.

Copy that, 0900.

Think about it.

What now, boss?

We're done.

What you mean we're done?

What, that's it?

Yeah, that's it. Come on, get your stuff.

-We're leaving. -And the job?

-The stones? -It's over. We missed it.

Ah, damn.

You screwed us.

What the hell just happened here, man?

I need that money, man.

And you're supposed to look out for me.

I'm dead if I don't pay.

And what about that necklace?

It's worthless.

It's nothing.

You know...

...that that's not true.

You know that it's priceless.

I said we're leaving.

Get in the van!

Nick!

You count yourself lucky, boss.

Sorry, Pete.

A-- astronomers and astrologers are calling this

the perfect celestial storm.

Now, when the eclipse happens,

all of the planets will be perfectly aligned.

Now this is an extremely rare event.

It's only happened literally a dozen times in recorded history,

now we will never see anything like this.

Hot-cha-cha-cha-cha.

Say, did you hear a rumbling last night?

Yeah, Bud. That was you.

Nuh-uh woman. I thought it was you.

No, Bud. I take pills to stop the gas.

-You don't. -Yeah, I don't take them pills.

- They give me more gas. - In your mind they do.

Aisling, breakfast is ready.

Aisling!

Why don't you go shake her out?

Sure Bud. I don't have anything else to do.

What? Did I say something?

No Bud. You're fine.

You just enjoy your breakfast.

I'll go milk the cows while I'm at it.

Aisling!

A sad day when a man can't fart in his own house.

Aisling?

Hmm.

-Did you get her up? -No, she wasn't there.

Probably got an early start.

-Did you see her? -Uh-uh.

-I haven't been out yet. -Uh...

No wonder she's so tired. She never gets any sleep.

What time did you say Joe was coming by?

I didn't, but he's never here before lunch.

- Bud. - Yep?

There she is.

Now, who are those fellas?

I don't know. I've never seen them before.

Where'd she get that dress?

Put that thing down before you shoot someone.

I will shoot someone if I have to.

Just be careful. I am always careful, woman.

Good morning, Grandpa.

- Good morning. - Oh, God.

-Don't you move. -Wouldn't think of it, sir.

It's harmless. He fills the shells

with potato bits.

It'll make a hell of a mess

-this close. -I'm sure it does, sir.

Good morning, ma'am.

-Good morning. -And who the hell are you?

Aisling, where have you been?

Yeah, where have you been?

It's a long story.

Nana, grandpa.

This is Joshua and Raphael.

Okay.

If you'll let them in,

we'll explain everything.

Bud, put that thing down before you--

I will in good time, woman.

I-- I said let them in.

I s--

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, what are you waiting for, a J Bird to sing?

Actually, yes.

Ah!

There he goes.

Raucous to some ears...

...but music to heaven.

And I believe...

the sound you heard the very first time

that you laid eyes upon your beautiful bride here.

How wonderful.

What the hell?

Let me get this straight.

You go out to see the meteorite fall...

...and you met this fella...

...who put some kind of voodoo in your necklace...

...and then you're run off by some hooligans,

and then this guy shows up and he saves your life.

And then you bring everybody over

for breakfast to tell us this story.

Sir, that's exactly how I felt.

But now I'm not so sure.

Well, I say there's been some shenanigans going on.

Either that or you've been up in my corn whiskey.

There's nothing going on. And I haven't been in your corn whiskey.

-It makes me hallucinate. -I know. That's what I meant.

- What? - Grandma,

you've gotta believe me.

-Well, I do. -What?

Mm-hmm.

She goes to bed a normal girl...

...and then she comes back the next day, dressed like I don't

know what, with two strange men.

Woman...

I may be old, but I ain't no fool.

Bud, now might be a very good time to break out some

of your corn whiskey

For breakfast?

Eh, just to settle the nerves.

My nerves are settled.

Not yours. His.

Alright.

That's a good idea.

You may be old enough to appreciate it.

Thank you.

There you go.

Right?

Sir, that is not only inspired,

it is inspiring.

Hm.

Puts me in mind of a breakfast

I had once of whiskey

and biscuit with Ernest Hemingway.

You knew Ernest Hemingway?

Oh, yes. Used to do a bit of fishing together.

He was a good fellow till he lost his way.

To Ernest.

Ah...

Now...

...Mrs. Stewart, and may I call you Teresa?

You most certainly may.

Bud, Teresa...

Aisling here loves you two very much.

Yes she does. She's got a family that loves her very much.

A family that has values.

I couldn't agree with you more, Bud.

The truth is that Aisling has grown up

to be the wonderful young woman that she is

because...

you both instilled in her

your values.

Well done.

But now, I think it is time for Aisling

to pursue her own dreams.

What-- What exactly do you know about her dreams?

Bud, I-- I think Raphael is right.

It's time for Aisling to start living her own life.

I'm in love with Aisling.

- You what? - I wasn't expecting that.

I don't know if I hit my head or something.

Well, maybe I oughta hit you upside the head again, boy.

And knock some sense into you.

Sometimes when you know, you just--

you just know.

I love you.

Did you know about this?

Oh, Bud, how could I possibly

know about this?

Sweetheart. Do you love him?

I do, yes.

Okay. Uh, you're not married yet.

This is turning into an interesting day.

How long have you two known each other?

Uh... Honestly?

Uh... few hours.

Well, that's plenty long enough.

It's been a night of fireflies.

I've lived a whole lifetime in one night.

But it's not over yet.

- They're here. - Who?

These guys just don't give up, do they?

It's the police. Why are they here?

They're not police.

What?

911. What's your emergency?

Uh, yeah. We need help right away.

We have two men trying to break

-into our house. -Oh, my God.

Howdy.

How'd you doosey doodle do?

- Morning, sir. - Morning.

What brings you boys out here?

Well sir, we had, uh, reports

that a meteor had landed in the area last night.

Some folks are saying they saw it land in your field.

- A meteor. - Mm-hmm.

Yes sir. We're investigating

-that incident. -I must have slept

-right through it. -Oh.

- Slept right through it. Huh? - Mm-hmm.

-Oh. You missed all the fun. -Yeah, you

missed some excitement apparently.

I guess.

I need you to stop this now. Please.

I don't want my grandparents hurt. I don't want anyone hurt.

- Yes there are. - I could never forgive myself.

I'm begging you. Stop this.

The only way we can stop this is for you

to change your wish, and you really want to do that?

Do you have any guns in the house?

I-- In here. But they're old.

What choice do I have?

Ooh. Maybe help will come in time.

And what if it doesn't?

"More things are wrought

by prayer than this world dreams of.

Therefore, let thy voice rise like a fountain for me.

Night and day.

For what are men better than sheep or goats.

But nourish a blind thought within the idle brain.

If knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer.

Both for themselves

and those that call them friend."

That's Tennyson.

Does that help?

No.

Hmm. Pity.

So where are your boys from?

We're, uh, from Comanche.

- Comanche County? - Yes, sir.

It's 250 miles away.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

My back's killing just from the ride.

In that truck.

Mm-hmm.

Is there anyone else in the house

that might have seen, heard something last night?

No. Just me.

What about your granddaughter,

sir?

How do you know I have a granddaughter?

Let's see a picture ID.

We're state troopers, sir.

That's not what your uniform says.

Sir, you put that gun down.

Say, you boys had breakfast?

-Sir. -No.

How's about some home fries?

Everybody down. Stay down.

That's your warning shot, grandpa.

Let's be reasonable here.

Bud, get away from that window for God's sake.

I'm going to protect my family, woman.

Hey, tweaker!

We're all out of potatoes, but I got a lotta lead.

Old man's fricking nuts.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Shot your ass pretty good.

I know that. You know how I know that?

Because it hurts like hell.

You hear me, old timer?

Yeah, I can hear you, but I ain't listening.

Where's my ammunition?

In the cabinet, below.

To the right. To the right.

Let's talk this out, mangy old goat.

Hey, old man...

...you know what we want. Just...

...hand it over. We'll be on our way.

Over my dead body.

Let's do this.

Shit.

I'm sorry, the number you have reached is not--

Aisling, Teresa!

Yeah, we're all right, Bud, are you?

I'm good.

Everyone?

Safe and sound.

Thank you so much, sir.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'm not.

Them's single action.

What?

Okay.

Say, how much you make?

- What? - You in debt to anybody?

No, sir.

A woman?

No, sir.

Does my dog have a soul?

Of course it does.

Good answer.

Hey, that timber's so dry, man.

Go have a look.

Aisling, uh...

I'm so sorry.

Grampy and Nana?

They're safe.

It wasn't supposed to end this way.

I love you, Joshua.

I love you.

Why did that feel like a goodbye?

If he had not killed me...

...he would've killed you.

But you knew, in bringing me back,

that you had sacrificed your wish...

...and that is truly brave.

I thank you.

I was driving by, and I and I saw the fire,

the house, I-- I just wanted to...

...stop by and make sure that you guys were safe.

But...

...looks like you guys have it under control.

"Though lovers be lost...

...love shall not."

Don Quixote.

Let's get out of here.

Yeah, I guess we can stay

with my brother Charlie for a while.

I guess.

I have to go.

Really?

I've never really been any good at goodbyes.

That's because you still believe

that goodbye means forever.

I will always be with you.

Always.

Aisling.

I believe there's a storm coming.

There isn't a cloud in the sky.

Are you sure?

I'll never forget you.

Oh, Bud.

You all right?

Here we go.

Oh, my...

Do you still wanna get married?

From the darkness comes the light

and all things are possible...

...if you believe.

Ah.
