Original subtitles

In this city of night,

in this city of millions,

there are countless stories.

This is one

of two loverswho shared a bond

that changed their livesforever.

It is my story.

How compassion opened my heart

to a world where goodnessand truth were stronger

than hate or fear.

Then... one day,

she was taken from me

by the forces of evilshe had battled

so bravely.

And now, alone with her memory,

yet armed with her courage,

I have sworn to fightthose who would kill

or harm or destroy

in the hope that one day

I will findwhat all men seek to find--

my destiny.

The coroner said it looked

more like an animal attackthan a murder.

Up 17 flightswith no witnesses.

He was her protector.

Up 17 flightswith no witnesses.

Vincent.

Jesus, lady!

I need your help.

What the hell are you doing here?

I didn't mean to scare you, but I need your help.

At midnight?

What kind of help do you need?

It'll take an hour, tops, I promise.

I'll pay you.

How much?

I got $62.

You still ain't tell me what for.

A friend.

A friend?

Lady, I'm the watchman.

I got work to do.

Okay, I guess for a beautiful lady,

I can make an exception.

Let's go.

Hey, where the hell are we going, lady?

Just a little bit further.

What happened? He drink too much?

I don't know.

You'd better give him some air.

Just give me a hand. Fine,

but don't tell me what this is about.

I don't want to know.

I got enough headaches as it is.

You live in the city long enough,

you stop asking questions.

You know what I mean?

Hello, Mary.

You should sleep.

I wish I could.

It's Vincent.

I'm afraid, Mary, terribly afraid.

We all are.

The one person I thought, I hoped

I could shelter from this world.

Father.

No, it was an impossible hope.

It makes me question the worth

of everything we've taught ourselves,

everything we've learned.

We've struggled so hard to maintain our isolation,

our separateness.

What kind of legacy is that to leave our people?

It's the legacy of love,

the capacity to love ourselves

and to love each other.

I'm afraid love holds no sway

where fate has taken Vincent.

October 10, 1989, 3:30 A.M.

Graveyard hunch paid off thismorning, just after midnight.

Hard to process the details.

Hard enough trying to explainto myself what has happened,

what I've found.

I found Vincent.

I found him at her grave,half dead.

Don't know if he's goingto make it.

Can't call the doctor.

I'm scared, disoriented.

Even though he'sin the next room,

it's impossible to believehe's really there.

The thought of him is too greatto hold in my head.

Hi.

You can't stay, Mark. I'm sorry.

Can I at least come in?

You're working.

Look, I'll ride down with you.

Oh, it's okay.

Mark...

You said Saturday.

I know I said Saturday.

Just don't be mad.

I am mad.

And I got a damn good reason to be mad.

I'm really close on this one.

Yeah.

Catherine?

No.

My name is Diana.

Where am I?

In my loft.

I found you

in a graveyard behind St. Clio's.

I don't remember.

I must go.

You brought me.

You were hurt.

You've lost a lot of blood.

You're safe here.

You need... you need help.

I know you.

I don't think so.

Yes.

Vincent.

You know my name.

Let me help you.

How long have I been here?

Three days.

You were in Catherine's apartment...

and below in her basement.

Tell me why.

Please.

I'm with the police department.

I was... I'm still investigating Catherine Chandler's death.

Her murder.

Yes.

And I thought maybe that you could help.

I know your name from an inscription.

I've been trying to find you.

I've been trying to understand this.

These sonnets...

she read them to me.

I see the words, but...

I always hear her voice, always, to remind me...

that she's gone.

"Though lovers be lost love shall not;

And death shall have no dominion."

Look, I didn't mean to...

You could never know how those words live in my heart...

burn in my heart.

You're tired.

You should sleep.

How much further?

Close, very close.

Are you sure this is the right way?

Only way.

Come, hurry.

Vincent.

Vincent?

He hasn't been here for at least three days.

Vincent's gone offby himself before.

Maybe he just wants to be alone.

Was alone.

Worse than alone.

We help one another.

That's what you taught me.

Yes, but you can't force Vincent

to accept help he does not want.

Mouse can.

Mouse is right.

Father, what are you saying?

The choice Vincent made, he made to keep us safe.

Can we do any less for him?

He's missing.

Surely that's the only thing that's important.

We don't know that he's in any danger.

Right. So if we're wrong, we look foolish.

But if we're right...

Mouse, you say you took a note to Vincent

three days ago?

From Elliott Burch.

What did the message say?

Go on, Mouse.

Tell him.

"Compass Rose.

"Meet me.

Good news."

Father, what are we going to do?

Something I should've done a long time ago.

Joe, I'm sorry.

I cancelled a major depo this morning

because you promised me a progress report.

I know, I said I was sorry.

So where is it?

I didn't bring it.

You didn't bring it?

Actually there is no progress report.

Wait a second, I'm confused here.

You said, "Joe,

I have news." Joe...

I'm taking myself off the case.

What are you talking about?

Come in here for a second, will ya?

You want to tell me what the hell's going on?

You heard me, Joe.

Why are you doing this?

Because I need some down time.

"Down time."

Oh, that's just great.

What the hell does that mean, "down time"?

A week ago, you were telling me

about tunnels and roses, and this guy, Vincent.

And how close we are, and now?

Now I just need to step back for a while.

You know what I think, Diana?

I think you're holding something back.

I'm not.

I don't believe you.

That wall is my work.

That wall is full of half truths and shadows.

Maybe.

You'll discover nothing there.

All you'll do is threaten the lives

of those Catherine loved. How?

How can I threaten them?

This wall belongs to me.

I don't show it to anybody.

See, I try to live inside of other people.

I surround myself with them.

I penetrate their minds.

And sometimes,

most of the time, what I see...

...it frightens me.

You were trying to spare me from myself?

All I have is a smattering of facts.

A seed. Sometimes they take root in my imagination,

if I'm lucky.

But there was no imagining me.

No.

Taxi!

Federal Courthouse building, please.

Hey, pal, I'm in a hurry.

Could we move?

Hey, hey!

You mind if we share?

What the hell is this?

Now please, don't be alarmed.

Hey, the courthouse is downtown, pal.

Mr. Maxwell.

Stop this car right now!

Please, Mr. Maxwell, I know you to be a good man.

Just listen to me.

I have information concerning Elliot Burch.

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Catherine Chandler's.

Okay, I'm listening.

I know where Elliot Burch was the night he disappeared.

Where? Look, I came to you

because I need information, too.

Where was Burch?

He was on board a ship

called the Compass Rose.

Are you sure?

Oh, yes.

The same Compass Rose

that was tied up on the East River?

I believe so.

How do you know this?

From Elliot Burch.

He told you himself?

The Compass Roseexploded

and was burned to its waterline three nights ago.

Who are you?

Is your name Vincent?

No.

My name is Jacob.

Jacob what?

Mr. Maxwell, have they recovered any bodies?

No, not yet.

What do you mean, "not yet?"

They have divers in the water today.

Look, if there's anything you can tell me

about Cathy's death, you have to.

Believe me,

I would tell you if I could.

Why can't you?

Are you afraid of someone?

If you're afraid, I can help you.

Please, Mr. Maxwell.

She led me from the darkness.

She sacrificed everything.

And I let her die.

Vincent, you couldn't possibly have stopped what happened.

There was a time when I could have saved her.

Between us...

there was a connection, a bond.

I knew her.

Her thoughts, her fears.

I could feel what she was feeling at that same moment.

As if we were one.

When Catherine was in trouble, you knew?

Yes.

What is it?

I couldn't save her.

Vincent...

what you had with Catherine...

I could only imagine what it would be like

to love someone like that.

Or to be loved like that.

And I can only remember.

I searched for months.

But it was a heartbeat that led me to her.

Faint at first.

Was it Catherine's?

No.

It belonged...

to her child.

You could actually sense the baby's heartbeat?

I followed it to the building

where the man called Gabriel kept her.

But I was too late.

And the child was gone.

My son.

I've said too much.

Vincent...

You can trust me.

You mustn't involve yourself in this.

I'm already involved.

I was involved before...

Hello?

It's me.

I have to talk to you.

Joe, I don't want to do this again.

Diana, let me up 'cause I'm not leaving until I see you.

Okay, I'll be right down.

I have to do this.

But I won't be long.

Diana.

I'll never forget your kindness.

So then this strange old guy

jumps in the back of the cab with me.

And he told me Burch was on the Compass Rose

the night he disappeared.

What do you want me to say, Joe?

I want you to say, "That's amazing news, Joe.

I'm dying with curiosity. I was wrong to drop out."

How can you ignore something like this?

I don't understand.

You don't have to understand.

No, you're wrong.

I do.

You know, I got to thinking about

our little discussion this morning.

And the more I think about it,

the more unacceptable it becomes.

Explain that to me.

I'm ordering you back on this case.

You can't do that.

I'm the district attorney, and I can do

a hell of a lot more than order you back on the case.

You threatening me?

Look, something is going on

right here in front of us

and I think you're the only one who knows what that is.

And I'm not going to let that go.

I'm calling the commissioner.

I spoke to him about an hour ago.

Look, lady, I don't care if you hate my guts.

But you take whatever you're holding back

and you weigh that against your job and your pension,

and then you call me in the morning.

Vincent.

Father.

Vincent.

Thank God you're still alive.

Where have you been?

Healing.

For days, I've been wrestling with my worst fears.

trying to prepare myself.

I'm sorry to have put you through so much worry.

Elliot Burch is dead.

Yes, I know.

How did that happen?

He almost betrayed me,

but in the end, he sacrificed his life for mine.

There's something about the water.

The sound of the water.

It drew me here when you were gone.

I never dreamed of you ever having a child.

Now... so many things seem possible.

One day he'll be raised here--

in the world you created.

So let nothing stop you, Vincent.

Nothing.

I feel like I've been lied to all this time.

Lied to how?

Lied to, made to believe one thing

when something else is true.

You used to talk about it all the time, remember?

Growth,

growing together.

I remember.

Yeah, well, I really thought you meant it.

I mean, I bought it.

You know, find someone, start a life.

It is what I want.

No, you don't.

Not with me, anyway.

Mark...

It's okay. I'll get over it.

You're making this more difficult than it needs to be.

Well, I can't make it easy for you.

Took me this long to get the hint.

I wasn't trying to give you a hint.

You gave me these glimpses--

wonderful little glimpses...

but you never let me come in.

It was like somehow the shade always got pulled.

I'm sorry.

You say that too often.

"Sorry" wears thin after awhile.

What would you like me to say?

Nothing.

I guess I came to do all the talking.

October 18.

A week has passed,and nothing.

Still no sign.

I dreamt of himagain last night.

Strange dream.

I held his face close to mine,but he couldn't see me.

I spoke to him,but he couldn't hear me.

I was with him,but he was alone.

Am I finallylosing my mind?

Probably.

But his sadness--it's carried over into me,

in these last few days,especially.

Vincent?

Vincent.

Look, okay, guys.

Look, I was just down here looking for a buddy of mine.

Give me the gun.

Give me the gun!

So... now, you have seen.

You saved my life.

You should have stayed away.

I couldn't.

Vincent, it's not your fault.

You can't continue alone in this.

I am alone.

Then you'll fail.

What chance do you have in a world

where you can't even show your face?

I can help you.

I cannot accept that responsibility.

You're not responsible for me. I loved her.

She was my world.

But I could not protect her from everything.

I'm not Catherine.

Diana...

You need me.

No.

Please.

You must forget me.

I can't.

Then remember me as you would a dream.
