All language subtitles for Ghost Whisperer (2006) - S01E15 - Melindas First Ghost.ro

My name
is melinda gordon.

I just got married,

Just moved to a small town,
just opened up an antique shop.

I might be just like you.

Except from the time
that I was a little girl,

I knew that I could
talk to the dead.

Grandmother:
it's all right, honey.

Earthbound spirits,
my grandmother called them,

The ones who have not
crossed over

Because they have unfinished
business with the living,

And they come
to me for help.

To tell you my story,
I have to tell you theirs.

Andrea. Melinda.

Sit over there.

Oh.

Hello. Welcome
to room 3's talent night.

One of our students,
dillon cho,

Has written a very
imaginative play.

We hope you enjoy
room 3's production

Of "ghost at the crossing."

You know what they say:
"write what you know."

I'm so bored.
My dad has gone away,

And my mom's too busy
to even talk to me.

Hi. Want to play?

Who are you?

I'm a ghost.

No way.

Way. Want to come
to the railroad tracks?

I'm really not
supposed to.

Oh, come on.

We can put
pennies on the tracks
and watch 'em get squished.

Melinda, help me.

Scene 2:
the railroad tracks.

Boo.

Hey. How was work?

Busy. How was the play?

Spookier than I
expected, actually.

Good for dillon.

You know, I haven't had
a chance to look through
this new training manual,

So I'm just gonna
go do it downstairs.

No. Stay. I can sleep
with the lights on.

All right. Hey, I forgot.
Your mom called this morning.

What did she want?

I don't know. She didn't say.

I'm thinking maybe
it's birthday related.

Well, you're not gonna
plan anything, right?
Promise me?

We're not
planning anything.

We?

Me. No one.
No one is. Promise.

Right. 'Cause you know
how I feel about it.

Yes, I do.

Although I was kind
of hoping this year
you might be over it.

I'm not.

You ok?

Yeah. I'm just tired.

Mel, I know you have
some issues with your mom.

And this birthday thing...

Mm.

You want to talk
about it?

What's there to talk about?

Single mother didn't
do a very good job.
Pretty common story.

But she raised
a pretty uncommon daughter.

Yeah, that's part
of the problem.

Melinda?

Melinda?

Do I know you?

Why didn't you help me?

Who are you?

Don't you know?

trouble sleeping?

Yeah.

Big trouble.

Voice: can you see us?

We're just open. Come on in.

Hi.

Do you see someone
in the store?

Um...customer.

Besides her.

No.

Huh. Wow.

It must've been
dillon's play.

I just got the weirdest
feeling, like...

Like someone
was watching me.

Can a civilian catch
a ghost vibe like that?

A civilian?

Well, maybe, but it'd have
to be a pretty powerful ghost.

Excuse me.
How much is this?

Mama. Mama. Mama.
Mama. Mama. Mama.

Ah. Oh.

Um, I just thought
I'd wind them up.

I bet you thought
they were antiques.

Um...

Oh, god.

I can't do this.
Just get in the house.

Woman: children,

I have something very,
very sad to tell you.

Some of you may know

That sarah applewhite
has been ill this year.

This morning,
her parents called

To tell me that sarah
passed away last night.

I know this is
kind of a shock.

So if any of you want
to talk about it further,

I'm here for you.

Yes, melinda.

Mrs. Riley,
sarah's not dead.

She's standing
right over there.

Shh.

I want to talk
to my mom and dad.

Then why don't you
go talk to them?

I can't find them.

That's because
you're at school.
Go look in your house.

Melinda,
this isn't funny.

You heard her.
She can't find her parents.

Why aren't you helping her?

That's enough, melinda.

Are you saying
you don't see her?

I don't believe you.

If you don't stop this,
I'll have to send you
to mr. Corbett.

Why are you all lying?
She's right in front of you.

Oh, I am so sorry.

I was in the middle
of my shift, and
the traffic was horrendous,

And then I had
to take the bridge,
which made it even worse.

It's fine.

Sweetie, what's wrong?
Are you sick?

No. At least
we don't think so.

I don't know
if you've heard this,

But one of melinda's
classmates has passed away.

Oh, no.
Sarah applewhite?

That's right.

Oh, sweetie.
I am so sorry.

No, mom. They're wrong.

Sarah's alive. I saw her.

And nobody believes me.

She's been saying this
all morning. It's
upsetting her classmates.

Some of the other parents
have had to come down.

I'm so sorry.

Well, she's just...
She's just emotional.

But it's true.

We thought it might
be a good idea

For melinda to go home
for the day, maybe rest.

Of course.
You're right.

But, mommy,
you have to believe me.

I am so sorry.

Come on, melinda.

Mom.

Mom, why won't you
talk to me about sarah?

It isn't fair.

Melinda,
please stop doing this.

I suffered through years
of it with my mother.

I'm not gonna
go through it again.

Go through what?
What are you talking about?

I can't do this.

Just go to your room,
melinda. Go on.

Sarah.

It was just amazing

How it all flooded back to me,
how confused I was, how scared.

I had no idea why
I could see this girl
and no one else could.

I thought your grandmother
had told you about all this.

Not until later.

My mom was so angry
and embarrassed
about the whole thing,

She kept it a secret
like we were trying
to make her miserable.

I hate that.

I hate that
it happened to you.

I want to go back
in time,

And I want to find
that little girl,
make her feel better.

You know what?
You do. Every day.

I'm stealing these.

All right, so, uh,
what are you gonna
do about sarah?

Well, she was shy.
I remember that.
So that can get a bit tricky.

And ghosts have no idea
how much time is going by,

So I'm gonna have
to go looking for her.

Cool. Your first ghost hunt.

Yeah. And if she's
like most ghosts,

That means
she'll be haunting places
that are familiar to her.

Which means?

Which means I have to go home.

It isn't fair.

Just get in the house
right now.

Mrs. Riley?

Uh, I hope
that you remember me.

Melinda gordon.

Oh!

Of course.

Melinda!

Look at you.
You're all grown up.

You look just radiant.
Life must be agreeing with you.

So far.
You look great, too.

Oh, aren't you kind.
What brings you back?

Well, I've been doing
a lot of thinking lately

About a little girl
in my class.

I know it's been
a long time.

But do you remember
sarah applewhite?

Yeah, I do.

It was terribly sad.

Do you remember
my reaction that day?

Mm-hmm.

I do.

Little children
have big imaginations.

So don't you be embarrassed.

It undoubtedly was your way
of processing your grief.

Right.

I was wondering,
do you know what happened
to sarah's parents?

Because I tried
to look them up
in the hamilton phone book,

But they were unlisted.

They broke up shortly
after sarah passed away.

You know, I understand
that it often happens
when a couple loses a child.

Do you know where
either one of them went?

No, sweetheart, I don't.

And if I did once,
it's gone now.

Time is a funny thing,
isn't it?

Yeah.

It sure is.

I'm running out of time.

Sarah?

Woman: come on, chloe.
You're gonna miss the bus.

Ok, I'm coming.

I looked everywhere.

All the places we used
to hang out as kids.
She was nowhere.

Just that one glimpse,
and that was it.

Can these be engraved?
What?

These soaps--
can I have them monogrammed?

Why would you
want to do that?

Yes. Actually, I know
a place on-line
that'll do that.

I will write down
the web site for you.

I think something
triggered her reappearance--

Something that
she's not aware of.

And all I have to do--
hey, we've got lotions.

Back there.

I'm not interested.

Ok. This
is their web site.

And they will
monogram anything.
Just e-mail them.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Melinda,
that was a customer.

Oh, what did I say? You know
what I can't figure out?

Is why she's being so elusive,
'cause she was shy
when she was a kid.

But it's like a constant game
of hide-and-seek with her.

Well, maybe she's
self-conscious.

Andrea, ghosts
are not self-conscious.

Sarah: melinda.

Melinda, you can see me,
can't you?

I know you can.

Why aren't you
talking to me?

Go away. You'll
get me in trouble.

Well, talk to me first.

Melinda.

Why are you wearing
your nightgown in school?

Oh, my god. You're right.

You're right.
She is self-conscious.

That's why she disappeared

When I pointed out
that she was in her nightgown.

You're a genius.

Thank you. Now can
we move these dolls?

'Cause they are
freaking me out.

Oh, bedtime already.
The things I have to do.

You stay and study.
I have to meet someone
in the bedroom.

Say again?

My little friend.

Oh. What makes you think
she's gonna come?

I'm playing a hunch.
See ya.

Sarah.

It's me.

Melinda.

Nobody's here but me.

Can we talk for a second?

So...

Here I am getting ready
for bed in my nightgown,

Just like you.

Shoot.

Hey, why don't you
come visit me

And it'll be like a...
Like a sleepover.

Or not.

Sarah: melinda?

You know ghosts don't sleep.

So you know
you're a ghost.

Well, I don't
feel sick anymore,

And I've been wandering around
for, like, two days.

Ok. So when you
look at me,

Do I look older to you?

Why?

Is it your birthday?

It will be on friday.

You'll be 9. Like me.

9. Right.

Why were you so mean to me
yesterday, melinda?

You didn't talk
to me at all.

I am...i am so sorry.

It was just...you know.

It was math.

I didn't want to
make mrs. Riley mad.

Yeah. She's pretty strict.

So what did you want to
talk to me about?

Are you trying
to find the light?

Oh, no. I see the light.
It's over there.

Well, then why don't
you go into it?

You'd probably feel more
at home over there.

I can't. I'm worried.

About what?

My mom and dad.

I could hear them getting into
a big fight the other night

Outside my door
in the hospital.

And it was
really scary.

They sounded like
they hated each other.

You know what?
I bet they were
just worried about you.

I went back home.
Some other family
lives there now.

They got scared when I tried
to make them talk to me.

I bet.

So I don't want to do
that light thing

Till I know
where my mom and dad are.

And I'm running out of time.

What are their names?

Jack and grace.

Daddy builds buildings,
and mommy--

Damn it. Sarah.

Melinda: he lived in hamilton.

Is it the same jack applewhite?

It is?

Hey.
Hey.

I really need
to see him.

I don't think we're gonna
be able to do melinda's party.

I was gonna say
exactly the same thing.

I don't get it at all.
I mean, she's not vain
in any way.

Why does she dislike
her birthday so much?

Something to do
with her mother.

They had a falling-out
before we ever got together.

I've only met the woman
myself a couple of times.

Wow!
If the past
is any indication,

Until this birthday
thing is over,

We are going to have
a very gloomy melinda.
Brace yourself.

Jack applewhite
is an architect.

I thought he was
a contractor.

Then I looked up
"architects."
There he was.

Sarah is gonna be so excited
that I found him.

I have an appointment
to meet with him at 2:00.

Can we have lunch
tomorrow instead?

Yeah. Uh, sure.

Ok. Bye.

Bye.

Or she's gonna
be really happy.

Woman: good afternoon.
Applewhite architectural.

One moment, please.

Ahem.

Excuse me.

My appointment with
mr. Applewhite was at 2:00,
and it's now 2:45.

I'm sorry. He's running
a little bit late.

Ok. I just have
to get back to work, so--

Marie, change of plans.
I have a 3:00
with the board.

Mr. Applewhite, hi.
I'm melinda gordon.
I had a 2:00 appointment.

I'm very sorry.
You'll have to reschedule.
I have a meeting across town.

Actually, I've come
on a personal matter.

Tell marie I said to give you
whatever time you want.

I went to school
with your daughter sarah.

You knew sarah?

Yeah. We were in
the fourth grade together.

Sarah would be just your age.

What's this about?

Well, i, uh...

Had a dream the other
night about sarah,

And then I kept thinking
I was seeing her everywhere.

It happens to me, too.
Has for years.

And then last night,
I saw sarah.

What?

She's coming to me.

Not just in dreams.
I can see her spirit.

I see. I see.

That's very interesting.
Good luck with that.

Mr. Applewhite, I'm serious.

Well, I'm very late.

And, um,
like I said before,

Why don't you just
call my assistant--

Don't tell me.

Sarah: melinda,
don't let him leave.

You have to make him
believe.

What have you done
to this elevator?

Nothing. Nothing.
I swear. Sarah's here.

Don't say "sarah."
Say "cookie."

Cookie.

Because I liked
oreo cookies.

She loves oreos,
and you called her
"cookie monster,"

And you shortened it.

He remembers.

Who are you?
How are you doing this?
How are you doing this?

I swear, mr. Applewhite,

I just want to
help sarah.

It's easy to say someone
was the love of your life.

Didn't even come close
to grace and me.

She knew everything about me.
Good, bad, indifferent.

We were poor together,
successful together.

We let each other down,
propped each other up.

Thank you.

I could never figure out
how I got so lucky.

Then we had sarah.
It was like a fairy tale.

Then sarah got sick.

It became unbearable
watching her...

Waste away,
watching her suffer.

We saw it every time
we looked at her.

We saw it every time
we looked at each other.

And pretty soon,
we just stopped...

Looking at each other.

Sarah said
that you were, um...

Arguing outside
her hospital room
the night before she died.

She heard us?

I didn't even know
she was conscious.

What were you
arguing about?

This new treatment.
It was experimental.

I wanted sarah to try it.
Grace was against it.

She felt sarah's little body
had been through enough.

Of course she was right.

The treatment
had side effects

We didn't even
know about then.

If I had known
she could hear us...

She's been trying
to find you.

I know you're divorced,
but I didn't know
what to say to her.

I never got over
what happened.

I never got over grace.

Then...

Last year, I ran
into her again.

Grace?

It was like
no time had passed.

Went for a walk,

Had coffee, then dinner.

Went for another walk.

It was like a miracle.

We found each other again,
and it felt...

You know, new.

We made plans to have
dinner that friday

At a restaurant
we both love.

But grace never showed.

I called her,

But all I got
was her machine.

She called the next day,

And I knew, uh,
she'd been crying.

She said 3 words to me.

Too much pain.

I'm sorry.

She took a job
in another city.

Wouldn't tell me where.

That was the last
I heard of her.

Sarah was hoping to talk
to the two of you together.

Is she here now?

No.

She's afraid that...

She was responsible
for your anger at grace.

I-i should tell her.

I'd like to find grace first,
if you don't mind.

It's important to sarah

That she talk
to both of you together.

What if you don't find her?

Well...then I'll come back.

Melinda, what did he say?

You don't have
to hide, sarah.
No one can see you.

You can.

Yeah, well, there aren't
a whole lot of people like me.

Maybe none, for all I know.

Look, sarah, your father
loved your mother very much.

But you were right.
They don't live
together anymore.

Because I got sick.

No, it's not your fault.
They love you.

Then where's my mom?

Moved away.
We don't know where.

Maybe your mom knows.

What?

Our moms
were friends once.

They knew each other
in high school.

Why don't you ask her?

I can't go see my mom.

She's never
made me feel anything
but ashamed and embarrassed

Of what I can do.

It's like she's jealous
that the gift skipped
a generation or something.

She called again.

You have to tell me that?

I think she just
wanted suggestions
for a birthday present.

Oh, well, that's touching,
considering that she ruined
birthdays for me forever.

Mel...

Don't give her
that kind of power.

It's your birthday.
Take it back.

I would if I could.

Believe me.

Yay! Well done.

Mmm! I love you.
My big girl.

I love you, too, mommy.

Tell you what.

Why don't you girls
go inside and get her presents
while I'm cutting the cake.

Did you make
a wish, honey?

Uh-huh.

Was it what
we talked about?

What did you talk about?

Oh, we had a little chat
about the importance
of birthdays

And how it gives us
the perfect chance
to be grateful

For the most important gift
that we have together.

Mother, what are you doing?
It's her birthday.

It's not a day
for celebrating death.

We're celebrating life.

By taking her
on macabre field trips
to funeral parlors?

Don't think I didn't
hear about that.

Melinda needs
to be educated.

I am trying
to protect her from that.

Mommy, grandma.

Melinda, why don't you
go inside and join the girls
for a moment, ok?

No, beth. She should
stay right here.

Melinda's gift is nothing
to be ashamed of.

And you can't avoid
the reality of it forever.

Ok, mother, fine. I give up.

From now on, you just
celebrate her birthday
any damn way you want

And leave me out of it.

Melinda, I'm gonna go lie down.

I'm getting another migraine,
thanks to your grandmother.

Hi, mom.

Melinda.

Is everything ok?
Are you all right?

Yeah. Everything's fine.

I just wasn't
expecting you.

It was kind of last minute.

You look beautiful.

Well, come in.

Sorry about the mess.

I've been so busy lately,

The house has gotten
kind of out of control.

Not that it was
ever in control.

Anyway,
you know what I mean.

How's jim?

He's fine.

I've been meaning
to come out

And see what you've
done with the house.

It all sounds
so wonderful.

Somehow I just
haven't had the time.

Hey, well, come sit down.
You want something to drink?

No. Thanks.
I can only stay for a minute.

Oh.

I was hop--

Well...

That's just fine.

It's so good to see you.

You cut your hair.

It's very becoming.

It really is.

Why is she so nervous?

I came here because I needed
to get some information,

And I thought maybe you'd
be able to help me.

Me?

Do you remember
sarah applewhite?

She was
in my fourth-grade class.

Of course, darling.
I went to high school
with her mother.

We used to get together
when you kids were babies.

Of course then
poor sarah got sick,

And grace and jack
kind of closed ranks
on the outside world.

But then you know the rest.

Actually, I'm just now
remembering the rest.

First time I ever saw
a spirit, remember?

Melinda, do we have to?

Do we have to what?

Why does everything
always come back to spirits?

Why do you hate
talking about it so much?

Because it upsets me.

All I ever wanted for you
was a normal life.

Why, mom?
Why is normal so good?

My life is fascinating.

It's extraordinary.

I found a way
to really help people.

Why can't you just
be happy about that?

She can't, melinda.

Ghosts scare her.

I really don't
want to get
into this conversation.

You came for information.

Just tell me what you want.

I was right. Your mom
knows where my mom is.

Let's go.

Maybe I should go and talk
to your mom alone first.

Why?

Well, 'cause there
might be grown-up talk.

Melinda, you're a kid.

She's not gonna talk to you
about grown-up stuff.

Right. Um, well,

You want to talk
to your mom and dad
together, right?

Uh, your dad might be hurt

If he knows that you
talked to your mom first.

Well, ok.

But how will
I know it's time?

Wait for me at my house.

You're all grown up.
I can't believe it.

It was so good to talk
to your mother. How is she?

Good. Fine.

We had a lot of laughs,
she and i.

I used to bring sarah over,
and you would have a ball.

You'd play for hours.

I'm sorry.
I don't remember.

Oh, well, why would you?
You were only 2 or 3.

But for us grown-ups,

Those memories,
they never fade.

Your mother...

I've never seen a woman
more in love with her child.

Unless, of course,
it was me.

We would sit there
staring at the two of you

In amazement.

So perfect, so beautiful.

The picture of health.

Grace, are...
Are you all right?

Forgive me, but you don't...
You don't look well.

Um...don't i?

Uh, well, i...

I suppose there's
a reason for that.

Um...

The fact is
is that I'm dying.

You're sick?

I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.

It's a genetic illness,

Which means, of course,
I'm the reason

That sarah got it
in the first place.

But I don't understand.

There's treatment.
People are cured now.

I wouldn't let sarah
have the treatment then,

And she died.

How could
I survive the thing
that killed my little girl?

Yeah, but you have
your whole life ahead of you.

You know,
for some people, melinda,

That's not
particularly good news.

Did my mother ever tell you
about my grandmother?

She had this gift

To be able to see people
and talk to people

After they died.

Beth never told me.

Do you believe it?

My grandma helped
a lot of people.

My mom never understood.

It seems that it
skips a generation.

Which means
you can do it, too?

Sarah came to me two days ago.

melinda.

Don't say it
if it isn't true.

It is true.

And now I think
I know why.

Your sickness--the fact
that it's gotten more serious--

It's triggered sarah
to come and find you.

She needs to talk to you
and her father together.

Are you willing to do that?

Melinda,
I'll meet with jack.

But you have to promise me
that you won't tell him
I'm sick,

Or I can't do this.

Promise.

Hi.

Come on in.

Hi. I got your message,
but I don't--

Grace?

I-i don't--

Are you back?

I never left, jack.

I'm sorry.

I-i-i don't understand.
You...

You lied to me?

Please, don't be angry.

Mommy, daddy.

Um, sarah's here.

Are they still mad?

She wants to know
if you're still mad
at each other.

Grace: no, honey.

I...at least I'm not.

Of course we're not.

Would you tell her

We're so sorry
that she overheard us
arguing that night.

We never meant
to hurt her.

She can hear you.

Ask them if they
still love each other.

She wants to know

If you're still
in love with each other.

I'll always love your...

Mommy, sarah.

I always have.

Mommy?

Grace, she's asking you.

Oh, yes.
I love your dad, honey.

Don't ever worry about that.

Does daddy know
that she's sick?

How did you know?

Know what?

I can feel it.

She's sick like I was.

You have to tell daddy.

I can't.

What did she say?

I can't tell you.

What?
This is ridiculous.

You call us together
to talk to our daughter,

Then you can't tell us
what she's saying?

Grace, she knows.
And she wants jack to know.

About what?

I knew this was a mistake.

I'm sorry. I can't.

No, jack.

Grace.

Grace.

How long have you known?

Since last year?

Why...why didn't
you tell me?

I didn't want you to...

Watch someone you love...

I wanted you to be happy.

Happy?

Don't you know the only time
I've ever been happy
was with you?

I don't want to fight it.

I don't want to survive
if she couldn't.

It's not right.

I want you to come
with me, mommy.

I miss you so much.

She misses you so much.

I don't want you
to die yet.

I want you
to stay here with daddy.

She wants you to...
Get well, grace.

She wants you
to be with jack.

Tell them it's ok
to be happy.

Tell them that I'm happy.

Everything is the way
that it's supposed to be.

She wants you to know
that she's happy.

And that everything
is the way it's supposed to be.

Oh!

They're not mad anymore.

No.

Thanks to you, they're not.

I feel like
I want to go there now.

To that light.

Well, I think you're ready.

She's going into the light.

Sarah?

You'll always be with us.

We'll never
forget you, cookie.

Bye-bye, baby.

I love you.

It's not scary
at all, melinda.

You can tell your mother that.

Why can't you see value
in what I do?

What?

Two people who love
each other very much

Are together again,

And that should
be worth something.

But for some reason,
you just judge me. Why?

Let me make this very clear.
I have never judged you.

But you have to understand.

I went through
the early years
of this thing with you.

I remember your nightmares.

I remember
how scared you were,
how lonely you were,

Coming home
from school crying.

How do you think
that makes a mother feel?

How do you think
it made me feel?

Horrible.
That's my point.

You know, I haven't always...
Wanted this gift for myself.

In fact, sometimes
I absolutely hate it.

But I do good with it, mom.

I help.

Grandma helped.

I understand that, melinda.

You don't know how...

I am happy for you. I am.

No.

What is it that
you're not telling me?

Why is it that I always feel
like there's something you
want to say and you never do?

Well, I'm not
scared of ghosts,
if that's what you mean.

I don't even know
why you said that to me.

I didn't say it.

Yes, you did. Yesterday.

No, mom, I didn't say that.

Sarah said it.

You saw her. You saw sarah.

No.

Yes, you did.

Stop it, melinda.
I didn't see her.

I heard her.

Can you see them?

No. I don't know.

Sometimes, maybe.

I hate it. It makes me
feel like I'm crazy.

Makes you feel crazy?

Think about how I've been
feeling this whole time.

I was lied to

By the one person that
I'm supposed to trust the most.

No wonder you've had
headaches all these years,

'Cause you've been trying
to just push it away.

I can help you.

I don't want you
to help me. Ok?

I'm glad that you have
made your peace with this.

I really am.

But please, don't ask me
to feel the same.

Now, it's getting late.

I've got things to do.

Happy birthday.

Ok?

Ok, mom.

Jim: that is unbelievable
about your mother.

In all these years,
you never knew.

Strange, huh?

Do you think
your grandmother knew?

You know, I was just thinking
about that. I wonder.

Hmm.

Do it.

All right, look,

Can I just say it?

Oh!

Yes.

All right.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

You know, I was thinking
that it would be fun

To go out tonight and...

Celebrate.

You were?

Yeah. Life is good. You know?

And racking up another year,
well, that is...

That's big stuff.

Damn straight.

Big stuff.

I'm gonna go round up
the usual suspects.

Sounds good.
