Hi, honey.

They were
delivered earlier today.

Oh.

He was a nice-looking
guy with glasses.

We talked briefly.

You know,
he reminded me of an actor

that I worked with
a while back in a soap opera.

There's no card or...

Well, maybe-- maybe
he's a secret admirer.

Honey, in my heyday, I had
a few secret admirers, too.

-I bet you did.
-Mm.

You know, maybe they're
just meant for someone else

-in the building.
-Oh, no, no, no, no.

He said it was for you.

He even mentioned your name.

Who did?

The fellow
who delivered the flowers.

He even asked me
if you were at work.

Huh.

Mm.

I don't...
I don't know, but...

Well, if you figure it out,
honey, will you let me know?

I will.

You want to come over now?

Yes.

I'm starving.

I just got flowers from someone.

Do you want to
go to Serena's first?

Yeah.

-I don't know.
-So maybe they're from Leo.

The guy I picked up in
line at the gas station?

Really?
No, I don't think so.

Yeah, didn't
he send you flowers once?

Yeah, he did,
but that was at work.

I don't think
that guy knows where I live.

At least I hope he doesn't.

Maybe he followed you home.

No, don't say that.

I cried when we had sex.

Was he that good?

No, he was
just so nice as a person.

It was so sad.

No, it wasn't from Leo.

I mean, I haven't
seen that guy in,

like, six months or something.

So? Guys are weird.

You should know that.
You're the psychologist.

Yeah.

Yeah, a psychologist with
a very expensive degree

I've yet to use, and I still
don't think

I understand people any better.

You and me both, love.

Okay, so this guy
from kindergarten

got in touch with me online?

-Mm-hmm.

His name isn't Leo, is it?

No, it's not.

Do you want me to

Okay.

-Karen, wait.
-[yelling] What?

What's going on?

During our reading, I gave
you information about yourself.

You mean about my personal life?

-No.
-About the soul.

And?

And I did do the research.

I looked it up
like you told me to.

And what did you find out?

I found what you said
had some validity to it.

Some validity?

I think there's more than enough
proof of what I've showed you.

Yes. There were some very
interesting coincidences.

You don't want
to admit it, do you?

You don't want to
admit that I'm right?

Look, I know you find
this hard to digest.

Most people would.

I'm not gonna
cause any problems, Karen.

We can do whatever
you need to do

and then you guys can
just let me go, right? I mean,

you didn't need to kidnap
me or tie me or any of this.

I know, you're right.
You're right and I'm sorry.

We're sorry.

This is a first for us.

We've never done
anything like this before.

And I hate
the way that we have to

do this, but tomorrow night,
and it has to be before sundown,

and don't worry,
we're gonna put you into

a deep sleep, and according to
what's been instructed,

we have to remove two organs
from your body,

the one that beats and the one
that makes you think,

and we have to burn the organs
and bury the ashes

in separate still boxes near
a large body of water,

along with your remains,
12 feet deep in the ground,

and then the soul that's inside
of you, it'll just vanish,

and so much pain in
the future will be avoided.

You're fucking serious,
aren't you?

Of course.

Did you know about this?

Did you? Did you know what
she's planning to do?

Who's instructing you?

Who's telling you to do this?

What do you mean?

You said someone's
instructing you to remove

my heart and
my brain and kill me.

-Is it you?
-God, no.

No, no, it--

It's the voice in her head.

That's, uh, what she listens to.

That's who talks to her.

Um, it's her instinct--

Brandon,
why are you telling her that?

-Does it really matter?
-Okay, Karen--

Does it make
a difference at this point?

Does it really matter?

I understand what you're saying
right now

is something you fully and
passionately believe,

and I really--
I understand that.

Just take two minutes or longer

to really assess
what you're saying.

You're literally stating that
you'll be killing me, right,

that this isn't some ritual done
in a metaphoric sense,

that you actually intend to
remove my heart and my brain

and-- and kill me. That's what
you're saying, right?

Karen, y-- Are you going
to let her do this?

Are you going
to let her do this?

Are you?

You're wrong, Karen.
You're wrong. Sometimes--

I've spent a lot of thought
and time and energy on this.

Sometimes you're wrong, even if
you have a voice, or--

This isn't just
some random decision.

Or whatever it is, it doesn't
mean it's going to happen.

You can see
she's completely insane.

-Shh.
-Close the door.

Lock it. Get the
keys and stop it.

You don't want to do this.

You're not a murderer.
You don't want to kill me.

That's not what
this is about.

The police will find out.
You'll get caught.

You don't want to kill me.
What does--

What does she have on you?
Tell me. Tell me, I--

-Look. Stop.
-I can't help you.

I mean...
she knows things about me.

Oh.

And I...

I mean, we--
we fear things.

This is an almost
lifetime's worth of work here.

Notebooks and notebooks.

Do you see what I've done?

The work
that I've put into this?

These are genealogies.
It's like a timeline.

I've spent years, okay?

This is not just a hypothesis.

You saw when those
people died

and when they were born
and what they went on to do.

And those names?

The names that I gave you?

Those were only a small,
infinitesimal number

of the names
and people that

I've compiled,
tracking and tracing

this one soul from its beginning
and now to its end,

because it's time to finish
this.

I'm not evil, Karen.

I'm-- I'm not.

We're not taking these
precautions because

you are going to turn out to be
a bad person down the line.

I didn't have a vision of you.

I mean, I did.

And yes, you're meant to die.

But it's the next
person that gets your soul

that we have to worry about,
because that person

won't cause harm to just
one person, but worldwide.

Terror. Chaos.

You see, right now we've-- we've
captured lightning in a bottle.

You're harboring this
soul in-- in a limbo state.

It's like a--
and form of purgatory.

And if we don't do
what we're about to do,

and you die,
then that soul

will be released into our world.

We can't have that happen.

What if you're wrong?

I'm not.

You have been wrong.
You have--

Yeah, there was a time when
I was... wrong,

but not because of
some false reading.

When I was in high school,
there was this man who lived

in this very affluent
neighborhood,

and everyone who knew him was
pretty fond of him.

He was the dean
at a local college.

You don't need to tell her this.
Can you just--

No, uh, it's okay.
I want to hear it.

And he had a wife
and a daughter, and one day

the wife left with
some other man,

and the daughter ran away and
she was never heard from again,

and so the man remarried,
and the same pattern happened.

His new wife and new
son left without a trace,

just left a note saying
they didn't love him anymore,

and took off, and everyone
felt really sorry

for this man, until they found
the bones of his family

buried in a nearby park.

This man, this murderer,
was my father.

Now, all of these deaths,
they could have been prevented

if I had just
gone to the police.

If I had just told
them the visions that I had,

the visions I didn't
want to believe I had,

but I didn't, and so my
mother and my half brother

and my stepmother all
died because I didn't

follow through on what I'd seen.

I didn't even go to
the police about

what my father was doing to me,
personally, before I ran away,

and it was some dog that found
the bones in the park, not me.

So I learned that it's
much better to err

on the side of caution
than to fuck up like that again.

So if I'm wrong about you,
I'll be able to live with that.

I will be able to
live with that if I'm wrong.

What--
What if your-- your vision,

-your premonition, whatever.
-It's instinct.

[Brandon] I really don't think
we should be talking about this.

What if your instinct
is actually

the opposite, you know?
Instinct is a very tenuous word,

you said yourself,
there is always a balance

in this world. So if there
is evil, then there's good,

we know that there's
good souls in this world,

So what if--
we know that,

so what if what is inside of
me right now, this soul,

is not something that's bad
but something that's actually

meant to change the world
for the better? What if, Karen,

what if evil may
seem part of your vision?

That could be it.
No, it could.

I wish that were the case.
It's not.

My father killed himself

in jail, on the day
you had your accident.

I checked the dates.
And of course at this point,

you're gonna be telling me lots
and lots of stories to try

to stop what's inevitable,
so don't fucking patronize me,

I know what I'm doing.
I'm not gonna make

the same mistake twice.
I know what's inside of you.

Help me!

Do something, shut her up!

[muffled screaming]

Please, please, shh.

You don't need this.
Don't make it worse.

[Brandon shushing]

She's not gonna change
her mind.

She showed me the test.

Do you want some of this?

No. What test?

The flowers.
You received the flowers,

took them into your apartment,
and when I came and got you,

I brought them here,
showed them to Karen.

They're dried even though
they were fresh

when you received them.

It means something
is inside of you.

What if it means there's

something inside of you,
or Karen?

No, no.

That's not the flower
that I got last night,

they were carnations and
that's rose.

You're right. Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.

They were carnations.
This rose was put into

this glass last night.

When it was put in there,
it was fresh.

I'm sorry.

No, no--

No.

[pleasant music]

[faint chatter]

...no tattoo.

No, well, I could see his
banged and bludgeoning down.

-And hair.
-And hair.

Like, what's this?

Well, the skull has hair on it.
Right?

That's right, totally hairy.

Do you have, like,
10 minutes to meet with someone?

Yeah. Do you want to take care
of it and I'll just finish up?

Sure. I can do it.

Oh, no--
I think he's looking for a job.

We can't really afford
to hire anyone right now.

I meant to take
that sign out of the window.

Right.
Should I just tell him that?

Wait, Do I know him?
Wait, is that...

That's him.

Wait, that's him.
That's him.

Who?

Okay, don't
you remember when I got

my reading done,
I told you about a guy...

Really?
That's him?

I don't know, but he looks
exactly how she described him.

The guy with the glasses.

-He is sexy.
-I know he's sexy.

-Okay, I'm gonna go talk to him.
-Okay, go.

Wait, wait, wait. 'Kay, go.
Go, go, go.

Okay.

Hi, I'm Alisha, the manager.

-Hi, I'm Marco.
-Marco. Hi.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

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

I'm good.
Thanks. So, um...

[both] Uh, the sign.

-Oh! Yeah.
-Yeah.

You guys
looking for help?

I did a research about you guys.
You guys actually...

You give some of
the revenue to charity, right?

-We do, yeah.
-It's cool.

Yeah, it's just our little part

for bettering the world,
I guess.

Cool. I try
not to litter.

-Letter?
-Litter.

-Litter.
-Litter.

Right. Oh, well, that is
important, too.

[both] Yeah.

So, do you have
any retail experience?

Yeah, I actually
owned my own store when

I was living in Boston.

Oh, wow. And where are
you from originally?

Oh, I'm from Montenegro.
It's Southeast Europe.

I-- yeah, actually, I mean,
I've never been to Montenegro,

but I've been
to Croatia and Slovenia.

-Oh, really?
-Yeah.

[speaking other language]

-Great.
-Yeah.

So, um, Boston.

-Yeah, Boston.
-Yeah.

I actually have family

-in JP, in Jamaica Plain.
-Oh, really? Oh,

0I used to live in Brookline.
-Oh, wow.

Yeah, for five years with my
girlfriend. She grew up there.

Oh. Uh, do you still
live with your girlfriend?

Oh, no, we-- we broke up.

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-I'm not. It was for the better.

Oh. Okay, well,
then I'm not sorry.

[laughing]

Okay.
Are you gonna hire him or not?

-He's kind of cute.
-I don't know. Maybe.

-Really?
-Well.

-Well, what?
-Well, if I don't hire him

and he's supposed to be my
destiny, then what?

Okay, are we talking
about the psychic again?

-Yeah.
-Okay, I see what you mean.

If you do hire him,
then I guess what she was

saying may pan out.
And if you don't hire him,

then I guess you probably
screwed up your destiny.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

But then no one is saying
that you cannot date him,

even if you don't hire him.
You know what I mean.

I do know what you mean.

Anyway, I mean,
the psychic, she's only someone

who only has some theories
and ideas about your accident.

-No, it's more than that.
-What is?

I didn't want to
tell you about this part,

but during our reading,
Karen gave me

some names.
She told me to look them up.

Their birth dates and
the days that they died.

And so I did. And
they were random names.

Some were men and
women and children.

And the names
started from very early on.

One of them was from,
like, the late 18th century

all the way
to contemporary times.

But the dates of birth
and death all overlapped.

And some were from Europe,
and some were from America.

But when one of them died,
another one

was born on the same day.

Wait, what?
When one of them died,

another one
was born on the same day?

And so, because of that,
Karen told me,

she claimed that each
of these names has

another thing in
common, which is their soul.

-Like, their soul soul?
-Yeah.

And these names, many of them
share another thing in common.

A few of them,
They were murderers

or killers or were involved
in something really heinous

at one point in
their lives, or even gave birth

to someone
who became a murderer.

Oh, come on. That's...

And Karen told me,
she claims that I am

the latest incarnation
of this soul.

No.

And that when I had
my accident and I died,

which I don't remember doing--

No, no, you passed out.
You didn't die.

There was no documentation
saying that you died.

Well, the claims that I died,
and that when I died--

No.

This soul found its way
into my body, and the person

who previously had this
soul died on the same day.

So, what, you're now evil?

Yeah. Or
something like that.

Okay, I don't understand.
How does this have to do

with the guy that you're meant
to marry?

Because if she's right about
that, then she's right

about other things, which is
very creepy and horrible.

Jeez.
I mean, she is wacky.

Okay, maybe she's
only right about that guy.

Did I tell you what
happened the other night?

No.
What?

I had this extremely disturbing
dream. I mean, it was so real.

And it's probably
just because I was

looking up all of those names.

One of them
was this serial killer

who killed his victims,
and they were little kids.

And when I woke up,
I swear that

there was somebody in my room.

Oh, God.
I am so sorry, love.

I should never have taken
you to that party.

I knew there was
something weird about her.

It's just
that the dream was so real.

It really felt like
there was somebody in my room.

Maybe you had the premonition>

No, I hope not. That freaks
me out even more.

Okay. You need to
lock your door every night

before you go to bed.

-I do that.
-Or get a deadbolt,

or Rottweiler.

-Get a Rottweiler.
-Yeah.

Make sure she's got
big teeth and big boobs.

We'll name her Marilyn.

[eerie string music]

[phone ringing]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Are you driving
to the reading now?

Yeah.

Oh, I should
have gone with you, hon.

It's okay. I'll
let you know how she is.

Okay, well, call me
when you're done, hey?

I will.
Believe me, I will.

Tell me if she finds
any more of my jewelry.

Okay, I will.

♪

-Is this yours?
-Ah, yes.

-Oh, here.
-Could you hand that to me?

Yeah, of course.
There you go.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

Did you need some help?

No, I'm good.
I'm right here.

-You sure?
-Yeah. Thank you, though.

Okay.

[distant barking]

Who you visiting?

Karen, in apartment two.

Ah, the, uh,
writer slash psychic?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

She's right down there.
Straight ahead to the right.

-Hi, nice to see you.
-Hi. Hi, nice to see you.

-You look great.
-Thanks. How are--

Hi.

-How are you?
-I'm good.

How have you been?
I've been well, thanks.

Good. You look great.
I love your dress, again.

Oh, thanks. Thank you. I love
your whole outfit too.

-Thank you. Thanks.
-And what a cute place.

-This is really nice.
-Yeah, we love it.

Yeah, it's a great neighborhood.

Got really lucky.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. So cute.

So can I get
you some tea or something?

-Yeah.
-Yeah? Okay.

Yeah, that'd be really great.

[whistling]

Okay, so just to
make sure that you totally

understand
where I'm coming from,

this reading
is based on my intuitions.

I do have premonitions,
and I'll tell you about

your past and present
and future,

-[dishes clattering]
-Um, but it's all based on--

I guess you could
call it an instinct.

Maybe. It's not, um,
voices in my head or visuals.

-It's, um--
-An instinct. Yeah.

-Okay.
-Which is never wrong.

-Yeah.
-Hello.

-Hi.
-I'll see you later, huh?

Gotta get your car fixed.

And then I got
a later shift tonight.

-Okay.
-'Kay?

Nice to see you again.

-Yeah, nice to see you too.
-Bye, babe.

-Bye-bye.
-Love you.

Bye.

[door closing]

-He's really sweet.
-And he works really hard.

-He has more shifts than I do.
-Yeah.

Oh, and you're
a playwright too, right?

No, I'm a total wannabe.
You know, I've done

some plays at small
theater and short films.

But I do okay with my
tips of the restaurant

and my readings on
the side for people.

Oh, yeah, thank you. That
reminds me, this is for you.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I said I would do it as a favor.

No, I know you did, but look,
we're all--

we're all
struggling on some level.

Please take it.

-Okay.
-I insist. Yeah, of course.

Okay. So, um, I'm--
I'm just gonna start.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Oh, boy.

What?

Oh, um, no,
nothing's wrong. It's...

-It's nice, actually.
-Oh.

-Your smile.
-Oh.

It reminds me of
someone that I knew.

Hm, thank you.

So, your family, there's
a lot of good support there.

-Yes.
-There's a lot of love.

Yeah, there is.

You were born with
a congenital heart defect.

-No.
-Nothing with your heart?

No.

-Really?
-Yeah. I-- I mean, no.

Okay.
You have a sister-in-law?

-I do, yeah.
-Her name is Sadie or Sophie.

Sophia.

-Sophia.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And she's had some health issues
herself.

Yeah, she has.

But the good news is,
is that it's only temporary.

There is
a doctor in Boston.

Okay. That's where she lives.

And he specializes in the type
of cancer that's in her body.

-His name is Dr. Lever.
-Dr. Lever. Okay.

So before you leave, let
me write down his information.

-Yes. Thank you.
-You could give it to her.

-Thank you.
-Let's hope it works out.

-Yeah.
-Okay, listen.

There was
an accident not that long ago.

It was on a Sunday,
early afternoon.

It was the 5th of that month.

It was this past summer.

Yeah, it was in July.

Yeah. And, uh, you were
crossing the street,

and it wasn't your fault,
the accident.

-But it was bad.
-Yeah, it was bad.

I mean, everyone at the hospital

said it could
have been a lot worse.

There was a concussion.

Yeah, I had a slight fracture.
A concussion.

It's actually...
I was gonna say that.

Oh, my--
Really? Oh. I'm sorry.

No, I-- seriously, I was.

Yeah-- oh, I believe you.
Yeah. Okay.

But you're lucky
that you did recover.

Yeah. I mean, I'm--
I'm managing pretty well.

And you'll manage quite well.
Except in rainy weather.

Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. And financially speaking,
you'll do well, too.

I don't think so,
actually, it's...

Okay. So there was some
contention in regard to fault

and whose fault it was,
but ultimately the driver

will concede because of
their poor driving record,

and a very nice settlement
will be coming your way.

Wow, that--
that would be so great.

Um...

So there's something else about

your accident that might be just
on this side of hard to digest.

You know, I'm--
I'm here with an open mind.

Okay.

Um, you died in your accident.

Mm, no.

-No, you died.
-I didn't die.

I had a concussion, so
I blacked out, but I didn't die.

-I think I'd remember that.
-Okay.

I'm just
picking up this very strong

instinct that you did die.

Oh, okay.
Maybe I did.

And a very
important part of

what makes you who you are,
let alone live,

it left your body
and it was replaced.

In really simple terms, I'm--
I'm talking about your soul.

I know this
is a hard concept to grasp.

Am I making any sense to you?

I-- I don't know.
Maybe.

So your brain and your heart,

they all keep your body
alive in a physical sense.

And your soul,
whether you believe

in a metaphysical
one or a religious one,

It's essentially your lifeline.
It's your essence.

And within
your brain and your heart,

you'll find
the energy of this soul.

It's what makes your heart beat
and your brain make decisions.

It's what
makes you a good person,

or a person
that makes fateful decisions.

And when you died, the soul
that you were born with,

that left your body and
it was replaced by another one.

A soul with
a very storied history.

The soul that's now
in your body, it inhabited

many other
people's bodies in the past.

Uh...

How is that even possible?

It's about energy and
a lot of stuff that

I don't even understand myself.

No one does. Maybe
that's a good thing.

So what does this mean?

In terms of what?

In terms of what is this soul?

Hold on one second.
I'll be right back.

[delicate music]

Here.
This is Dr. Lever's information.

-Thank you.
-And, um...

Look up these names.

Who are these people?

Those are the names
of the people that...

Some of them, at least,
that harbored this soul.

So did you know about
this before I came here?

These names?
My accident.

-[indistinct].
-Wow.

Look, I know it's out there,
what I'm saying, but,

you know, look them up and maybe
they'll mean something to you.

-Maybe they won't.
-I will.

Oh, God. I don't
mean to freak you out.

It...

It's okay. It's--
It's fine. Don't.

It's just not what I expected
to hear today, that's all.

You want the happy stuff, right?

-The guy stuff?
-Yeah. Yes. That would be great.

If you have
any news on that front.

-Well, there is, girlfriend.
-Really?

-Yeah.
-Really?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

-It'll be at your work.
-Mm-hmm.

-Um, someone cute.
-Okay?

With glasses.

And he'll be wanting something
very specific from you.

-Sex.
-Oh, my God.

-Let's hope so.
-Yeah.

-It's very specific.
-I know.

Yet I will say this.

This man is meant
to change your life.

Wow.

[bird calling]

-Mm, tickle.
-Come on.

-Sorry.
-You can get hotter. Stop it.

-I'm sorry.
-Okay.

-Just relax. Almost done.
-Okay.

Okay. I'm relaxing.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah?

Now open.

Okay. Look at me.

Do I seem different to you?

No, I like it.

No, I'm not--
I'm not talking about

-the way that I look.
-Like, how?

Like my personality.
Does it seem different to you?

Okay, this.

No, I don't think so.

Am I a bad person?

No.

No.

You do have big ears, though.

My name is Alisha, and I've
left a lot of messages for--

-I remember your name. Yes.
-Hi. for Dr. Senari.

-Yeah.
-I-- I would do anything

just to see him
for a few minutes.

It's really important.

Yeah, I did give him
the messages,

but he's been in surgery.

-He's been really busy.
-Of course.

I-- I completely understand.

If there's any way
you could get me in

just for five minutes or less.
It's-- it's really important.

...during my surgery,
or at any point

before or after,
If my heart stopped.

In other words, I--
I'm wondering if I died.

Right. Well,
when I got your message,

I went ahead
and checked your file and

also spoke to the RNs on duty,

in the event that something was
overlooked or not written down,

Right.

and that would be highly
unlikely.

But there was no cardiac arrest.

Um...

So basically,
you didn't die or even

come close to it.
Why do you ask?

It-- it has nothing to do
with you, so-- so don't worry.

It's actually--
sounds really silly, but...

I recently
met with a psychic,

and she told me
that I died during my accident.

And so I just wanted to
ask if I did actually die.

I see.
Well, uh, the psychic was wrong.

[video] In the turn of the
century, an unassuming man

living a modest lifestyle
was found to have murdered

over 50
victims before being captured.

His own claim of murder is
estimated to be only
100 people.

Although they ranged in
general cultures,

many of them were found
to be innocent, stray children.

...the evil he perpetrated
knew no boundaries...

[overlapping recordings]

...and even
an occasional ingesting of

body parts of the dead bodies.

So, yeah,
thank you again for meeting me.

You've got such
great feedback online.

Oh, thanks. You know, I--
I don't take that too seriously.

You know, there's
a lot of bullshit out there,

particularly
in the realm of psychics,

-you know, so...
-Right.

One thing about being
a psychic is it's

the only profession, really,
where being predictable is...

Considered a good thing.

-Right.
-Okay, so let's just pick up.

-We were talking about soul.
-I mean, how does it work?

Well, there's, uh-- there's
lots of different things.

It depends on...

On culture,
faith, personal belief.

Uh, a lot of people think
that the soul is tangible.

Right. Some people
think it's more ephemeral.

Right. Part of the personality,
not an actual energy.

Most religions say that the body
and soul are separate entities.

And there are certain
African cultures that have

these elaborate traditions,
rituals they perform on the dead

to make sure that the soul
migrates to the next level

and that it doesn't
return to disturb the living.

So you have
lots of different beliefs,

you know, as to which is right?

-I don't know.
-Right.

I was just really
wondering if it's possible

to somehow lose your soul or

have it replaced by another soul
at a certain point in your life.

So you mean if someone were to
die and then come back to life?

-Yes.
-Honestly, I can't answer that.

I've never seen or heard,

experienced
anything that's conclusive.

Although, you know, a lot
of psychics, they say that--

that, uh, reincarnation and
soul transfer is real.

Mm-hmm.

I wish I could be
more definitive with you,

but the truth is there's
really no accurate answer.

You know? This is
not a science.

-Right.
-It depends on what you feel.

-Right?
-Right. It's personal.

No, I see what you mean. Yeah.

Okay. Now, I just want
to share one thing with you.

Because when you came in here,
I started picking up

on something,
and every minute

you've been here, it's just
become more and more pronounced.

-Like a prediction?
-Perhaps.

Okay.

I feel that you are
gonna be in a situation

where you're gonna be
fighting for your life.

Like the day
after Christmas sale?

I'm being serious.

I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.

I wasn't trying
to make fun of you.

It's okay. I'm--
I'm not offended.

It was funny.
The situation.

You're gonna
be able to get out of it.

But to do so,
you're gonna have to fight

like you've never fought before.

Do you have any other
information? Any other details?

Like is it gonna be on
a mountain or at work or--

On a boat or in a forest? Uh--

Anything else?
Any other information?

I don't know.
I don't know.

The only advice
that I can give you is to...

Fight.

Fight for your life.

-You'll know when.
-I really hope so.

-[guest] All good, it's great.
-Okay. Thank you.

So, so.

Many of you guys know,
and some of you might not,

but we've been working really
hard for the last 18 months,

and we are finally opening
our two new coffee shops,

Rena and Harris Coffee Spot.

We have one more even
more important announcement.

We've been working very hard,
me in particular,

-and you're the slouch--
-Oh, stop.

-Okay. We're having a baby.
-Yeah!

And you can
all blame Karen for that.

[guests laughing]

It's really nice to finally
meet you, so--

This is my best friend, Marilyn.

-This is Karen.
-Hi, Karen.

Nice to meet you. And, uh,
this is my boyfriend, Brandon.

-Hi.
-Hi. I'm Alisha.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

-This is--
-Hi, Clarice.

How are you? Nice to see you.
You look lovely.

You guys already
know each other.

-Yeah, we do.
-Yeah.

-Great.
- I love your dress.

-It's really unique.
-Oh, thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, it's a...
I've had it for a while.

It's a vintage dress. Thanks.

I like your earrings.

Thank you.

Was that like a--
what kind of stone is that?

-It's like-- a turquoise.
-Turquoise?

-Yeah.
-Matches her dress.

-Yeah.
-Fantastic.

We'll-- we'll swap, I think.

Okay.

Oh, yeah. So...

Um...

So. She's kind of
embarrassed to say this,

but she wants to read you.

Read.

She is the reason that Harris
and Serena got together.

-Married. This is Karen.
-Oh.

-She's a psychic.
-Oh, my God, no.

-That's amazing.
-Oh, you found Harris.

Wondering-- that's
incredible.

I do readings. I work
at Serena's restaurant.

But on the side, I do what
I call instinctive readings,

or what are more commonly
known as psychic readings.

-Oh?
-Wow.

And I'm just getting this, um,

very, very strong
feeling in this area.

-Meaning you.
-Thank you.

-And I've been--
-This, this--

-This area here.
-I'd love to do one for you.

-Thank you.
-And it's-- it's my gift.

I've done a lot of
people at this party.

Read them, that is.

I was just gonna say,
more babies are being made.

You guys
are really cute. Sweet.

I'm just getting this...

Very strong feeling
that I need to do one for you.

Okay. Well, what about
my friend Marilyn?

No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine.

No, she's very interesting.

We have a lot to talk about.

-See?
-We do?

We do, actually.

So anyway, what else is there?

For?

For anyone at the party
besides me?

-Very good.
-Yeah, I can--

I can imagine she's good,
but let's just say...

Okay. Okay.
How about I have, uh...

Lost an important item.

-Which I can't--
-Don't.

I can, though.

-No, it's really rude.
-She said she would!

Yeah, you can't-- you can't
put somebody on the spot.

-She gets it, like--
-Do you know what it is?

And do you know
what it looks like?

She's actually--
She's talking about

the black pearl earrings,
and they're

actually in your blue jacket
that's hanging in your closet.

So when you go home,
see if they're there.

And I think that you'll find
more than just those earrings.

Zing!

-I think so.
-Okay. Wow.

-Yeah, it is a--
-Striking.

No, I know. I mean,
I didn't know

if you needed to come up
and look for them, and I--

I know the blue jacket
that you're talking about,

she got it at our shop.

Which
I thought you had borrowed

-at the time I gave back--
-No, I asked.

I could be right.
I could be wrong.

-She's right.
-But I could be wrong.

...wouldn't have been able
to borrow it, when they--

It's possible that I could
be wrong, but I could be right.

-She's right.
-But if you're--

If you're both interested,
what happens is

I do the readings at my place,

and I'm not too far from here,
and it takes about an hour.

-Okay.
-Yeah, go for it.

And um, so, um... I can
give you my number,

and you can both call me.

-Oh.
-But I can put it in your phone.

Yeah, no, I have a phone.

And if we could start with
Alisha, that would be great.

Sure. Cause I guess
I'll be too difficult.

-Stop it.
-Sorry. Just saying.

No, it's not like
favoritism or anything.

-Mm-hmm.
-It's, um...

It's just that there's something
that's a little more pressing.

Um, to talk to
with you, Alisha.

Should I be worried?

Oh, no, no, no.
It's just a timing thing.

-It's... it'll all make sense.
-Okay.

And so she told me
where to go, what time,

and what day,
and who to look for.

And on November 8th,
at 1:30pm, I met Harris,

who was my server, and
I got the special of the day,

-and now we're having a baby.
-Yes.

So I think. Yes,
she's pretty spot on.

Yeah, I don't
even trust technology.

So she helped
me find a computer.

She went with me to feel out
the vibe.

Felt the vibes.

-The vibe. It works.
-Can I just say,

what is up with her boyfriend?

-He was homeless.
-He doesn't talk much, is what.

It's okay. He was homeless
at one point in his life.

Okay, that's sad.

But it's-- he lived in a car,
so, you know, it's something,

-[Serena] Issues.
-Mental issues.

He had a breakdown at one point,

and she found
him like a lost puppy.

And with Karen,
she just doesn't really

like to talk about her past.
'Cause you know,

apparently, she had a really
difficult childhood.

[Harris] She was abandoned as--

Ran away.

Ran away,
or something like that.

You know, hey,
she's had a lot of hardships,

so it probably
helps her as a playwright.

It's funny, because she'd
probably make a lot more money

just being
a psychic full time, but...

Well, she...

Probably hard on her physically.

She told me she wanted
to do a reading for me.

Like, she came up to
me tonight and sat down

next to me and told
me she had to read me.

Yeah. Why?

Oh, that's kind of a thing.

-It's kind of a big deal.
-What do you mean?

So, you know, she was
taking this customer's order,

and then also said, oh,
I also know where your kid is

that you haven't
seen in 20 years.

-[Marilyn] Oh, wow.
-Yeah.

-So are you nervous?
-Yeah.

[Harris] Be nervous. It's okay.
Maybe you have a missing child.

-No. I mean...

-I don't think so, but yes, I--
-[Serena] Fine.

-Wow.
-Well, she's harmless.

I mean, just-- just
look at it like advice,

-Right.
-You know, take it or leave it.

But hey,
she could have something

really good to tell you.

Right. That's true.

-I mean, look at what I got.
-Look at these two.

Woo-hoo, yeah.

Oh, come on, stop showing off

and let's just have
a cheers to you two.

-With my apple juice.
-To the juice, baby.

-Congratulations.
-Cheers.

[phone buzzing]

Hello? Hello?

-Guess what?
-What?

-She was right.
-Who?

That psychic girl, Karen.

About the earrings?
I found them in the closet.

Really? That's cool.

Yeah, well,
she was partially right.

What do you mean?

Well, they weren't in my jacket.

They were in an old purse,
and the purse is blue.

Oh, okay.

So she wasn't totally right.

Yeah, but that's
still pretty impressive.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

When I was going
through the closet,

I... found
a ring that my dad gave me,

which I thought I'd lost.

[eerie orchestral music]

The one he gave
me before he died.

Oh.

Are you okay?

Uh-huh.

Strange, isn't it?

Yeah.

Maybe I was meant to
find it all along.

Yeah, maybe. Didn't she mention
there was more to find

or something like that?

-Yep.
-Yeah.

Maybe I will call her.

Why not?

What do you have
to lose, love?

In other news, the memorial
for Nobel laureate chemist

Aileen Bergstrom was held
today in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Secretary of State
was there, representing

the United States, along with
the Bergstrom family, friends,

and many of Dr. Bergstrom's
illustrious colleagues.

Her former husband,
the scientist

Frederick Lupto,
was also on hand.

According to
various reliable sources,

at the time of
her sudden death,

Dr. Bergstrom was covertly
working on

what these sources claim to be
a cure for cancer.

Alisha?

Her work and theories on
viral diseases have already

revolutionized
the medical profession,

especially her vaccine
for the MR-1 virus.

[volume fading] Authorities
in Stockholm say that all

her most
recent work and research...

[broadcast continues faintly]

[screaming]

[woman] How's she doing?

And how are you doing?

She's calm now.

I'm just
calming down now myself.

Well, call me if anything
like this happens again, okay?

I will.

You are such
a wonderful friend.

-And so is she.
-You know, if you want me to

fly out there,
I will be on the next--

No, no, we're good for now.

I just-- I feel so bad--

Don't, Deb. She was more than
happy to talk with you.

Okay, honey. Well. Well,
we'll speak again soon. Yes?

Okay.

Make sure
you tell Alisha I love her.

And call me if you need me.

-Okay. Bye.
-Bye.

Well, that was very nice,
wasn't it?

Your mom is
very worried about you.

But I did tell her that you're
feeling a lot better now.

Thank you.

But of course,
she is very concerned.

I know.
She always is.

She says she's more than
happy to come out if you want.

-No, I know, we're-- we're good.
-Yeah, we're good.

Thank you for being here.
How's everything at work?

Everything is fine. Roger's
at the store right now.

Roger...

Yeah, you know, Roger,
he has the--

I'm kidding.
I'm just kissing.

You want some
water or anything else?

No, I'm good.
Thank you.

Okay.

So, do you want
to talk about it?

-I mean...
-If you're feeling too tired

or too traumatized,
you don't have to.

No, it's okay.
We can talk about it.

Felt as though I was in
this claustrophobic space,

this enclosed area,
and I couldn't breathe.

And I felt another
presence there. And I...

I was trying to get away
from it, and I couldn't.

It was...

Maybe it's the painkillers
playing tricks on your mind.

Yeah.

Did I tell you, when I was born,
the cord was wrapped around

my neck and I was blue
and I was basically dead?

No, I didn't know that.

And it's weird,
because I just remembered

when I was a little kid,
I used to have these

really distressing dreams.

And...
the dream that I had just now

was sort of like those dreams.

You are one very strong girl.

Maybe we're all here
for a reason. All of us.

Yeah.

I don't know
what keeps us alive.

If it's our heartbeats
or if there is something else.

Maybe there is a soul.

My soul is a soul of a bitch.

I just felt this
really strong presence there.

And it's weird because even
though I was terrified of it,

Now I'm not so sure
that it was a bad thing.

Well, nothing is
going to happen to you.

Nothing bad will happen to you.
Okay? I'm here.

Great.

Now have some rest.

-Thank you.
-Okay.

Thank you for being here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming.
I'm coming.

Okay, I can pick you up at one.

No, it's fine. I'm coming to get
you. I'll be there really soon.

Roger's place is
closer to your place anyway.

I'll be there...
I'll be there soon. I'm sorry.

I-- I'm coming.
I'm coming right now.

Okay? Oh, I'm coming. Goodbye.

Okay. See you soon.

[door opening, closing]

I have your mail. You know,
I could put it under your door.

Then you don't have
to go back to your place again.

Could you?
That would be so helpful.

You look beautiful.
Where are you going?

Thank you. I'm going to a
friend's

birthday party right now.

Oh, honey, I stopped having
birthdays a long time ago.

But you know what? Age
is a number. Have a good time.

-You're right, Bonnie.
-Have a great time.

-Thank you, dear.
-Bye, bye.

Okay, bye. Woo!

See you later. Thanks.

-She's not breathing.
-[man] Oh, no, she--

She's not breathing.
Tell him it's urgent.

Okay. They said not to move her.
Please just don't move her.

I'm so sorry.

[man] Just keep trying.
Just keep trying.

-Okay?
-[woman in blue] I'm so sorry.

[man]
Please keep trying. Keep trying.

[man 2]
What happened?

Uh, the driver over there
accidentally hit her with a car.

Uh, ma'am.
Is she, uh, still alive?

-No, she's not breathing.
-[woman in blue] Help her.

[man 2] Okay.
Check on ambulance.

She already did. They're
supposed to be on their way.

[man 2]
Did you try chest compressions?

Okay, I'll see what
I can--

-Is she breathing?
-[man 2] Hold on.

=Is she breathing?
-Let me check.

Let me check her pulse.
Let me-- let me take her pulse.

Let me check her pulse.

Hold on. I'm not going to give
up.

-Let's just keep trying.
-Please help her. I'm so sorry.

Let's keep trying, we'll--

Wait, I think--

[man 2] I'm sorry. I don't--

I don't-- I don't feel any--

-I don't feel a pulse.
-We're not gonna give up.

[woman 2] Just keep trying.
Let's just keep trying.

Come on-- you can do it--

-Hold on, hold on.
-Oh my gosh. She's moving.

[discordant, eerie music]

-You're okay.
-Shh.

Just don't-- don't move. Don't
say anything. The ambulance,

they're on their way.
You're going to be fi-- woah.

[man 2] It was an accident.

[man 3]
Can you hear me?

Try and stay still.

[man 2] Don't--
Don't try to talk.

Who am I?

-What'd she say?
-I-- I think she said,

"Who am I?"

Just wondering, is this
still the--
