00:22You
00:35That's Sebastian Brahms, the billionaire winemaker widower. He hasn't been seen in years.
01:05This is what my youth, this is what my youth is for.
01:53The one that got away?
02:00Some things you only have to lose once.
02:06I know they're worth holding on to.
02:24Jeez.
02:41I know they're worth holding on to.
03:08I know they're worth holding on to.
03:24I know they're worth holding on to.
03:53I know they're worth holding on to.
03:55Hi, my little angels. Mommy's driving. I'm almost home.
03:59Can you tell Hannah to stop picking her nose and feeding it to the dog? It's gross.
04:04Girls, girls, stop. We'll talk about this when I get home. I'm on the road.
04:08Where's your father?
04:10Daddy's drinking beer somewhere.
04:21I'll be home in a jiff. I can't talk now. Bye.
04:46Bye.
05:02Roll the window down.
05:04Why?
05:07Just roll it down.
05:09I'm not one to talk to strangers.
05:12And why?
05:15I'm married.
05:20I'm dying.
05:22And you're feeling so up and down, up and down, to the ground and below.
05:33May I approach?
05:51I saw you back at the store.
05:55I was taken by your beauty.
05:58That sounds like a line.
06:01Does it?
06:02Yeah, it kind of does.
06:06It's not a line.
06:09It's a rite of passage.
06:13You're beautiful.
06:17I appreciate that.
06:26How'd you like to go for a ride with me?
06:34You ever ridden on one of these before?
06:36No.
06:38Would you like to?
06:42I'm not one to just hop on a motorcycle with a complete stranger when I have a husband and two
06:47little girls at home.
06:50That's fair.
06:52Funny.
06:53I'm not one to take my eyes off a fallen angel once I've seen her.
07:00Fallen angel.
07:03Is that what you think I am?
07:08What do you mean you're dying?
07:23Doctors say I have days to live.
07:26End stage cancer.
07:31That's not a line.
07:34It's the truth.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:40Not as sorry as I am.
07:45Again, give me one good reason why a married housewife with two daughters would just hop on a motorcycle with
07:52a complete stranger.
07:54And I'll consider it.
07:57I'll give you two.
08:01You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
08:05And my only wish is to ride on the open road with an angel one last time before I leave
08:15this earth.
08:22Okay.
08:27Okay.
08:27Okay.
08:29You only live once.
08:31But if you do it right, once is enough.
08:54You and I, two spirits dancing on a highway.
09:00I'll give you strangers.
09:02But somehow you saw a doom of this illusion.
09:11Here we are.

14:05lord
14:05let's
14:12I have to say, I feel a little reckless here in this moment.
14:20Oh, how so?
14:22Look, any woman would die to be here with a handsome and well-to-do man like yourself.
14:31But I'm married.
14:34And I'm a mom.
14:36And I'm sure this is where you shared wine with your wife.
14:39My wife is dead, Anna.
14:42She's been dead for a long time.
14:44And I haven't had anybody here since her passing.
14:48You.
14:50And you're like a gift from heaven.
14:53To be able to share a glass of wine with someone special.
15:01One last time.
15:05Cheers.
15:19Mmm.
15:22Good?
15:23Great.
15:25Good.
15:32I don't know you.
15:38But from the first moment I laid eyes on you, I felt like I've known you my entire life.
15:47I felt...
15:51I felt like you were hurting inside.
15:57Look, I know that you love your little girls, and I'm sure that you have a doting husband.
16:04But I saw something in your soul that needed saving.
16:13And for me, it was eyes.
16:17What was obvious?
16:21You needed to be loved.
16:27I know that look.
16:31Your eyes say that you've been holding your breath for years.
16:43You see a lot of things.
16:46I see you.
16:53Meryl.
16:56I've been less than happy with the cards I've been dealt.
17:03Would someone help me take me away from myself?
17:10I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, how you get me like
17:16that, how you get me like that.
17:24I should, uh, I should get going.
17:28Of course, yeah.
17:29Look, I'm sorry to take up so much of your morning.
17:33I miss all this.
17:37This doesn't happen every day.
17:45Thank you for the wine.
17:47Wine I have plenty of.
17:51Time I don't.
17:59I had a really nice time.
18:04Me too.
18:10We make a good pair.
18:34Bye, Carmella Vines.
18:37I'm gonna miss you.
18:40I think she's gonna miss you more.
18:52Stay.
18:56Forever.
18:56Forever.
18:58Forever.
19:04I don't know.
19:37Look.
19:58Pull over.
20:22The road between us.
20:24The road between us?
20:26It's the place where love can't quite close.
20:31You're carrying grief.
20:34I'm carrying guilt.
20:37You and I were bound by desire, but separated by circumstance.
20:50What do you think?
20:54Make love to me.
21:19I'm carrying guilt.
21:24I'm carrying guilt.
21:36I'm carrying guilt.
21:45I'm carrying guilt.
22:05I'm carrying guilt.
22:11Your first life just inspired
23:07The concept of the world that have been in place
23:08The world has been a moment of survival
23:08You can't wait for an hour
23:26Let me go first.
23:30Of course.
23:34I've never been treated with such grace and dignity.
23:39I've never been touched by someone in such a short amount of time.
23:45I will carry this mourning with me in the core of my heart for the rest of my life.
24:04Well...
24:11That's quite a gift you've given me.
24:16I have something for you too.
24:17It's something that's equally important to me.
24:38The one that almost got away.
24:45I hollowed it.
24:48There's a message inside.
24:50But you can't read it now.
24:55You have to wait.
24:57When I'm gone.
25:00When I'm gone.
25:02You have to wait.
25:04It's not gonna know.
25:13It's not going to let any of you be.
25:15I do know what you're going to say.
25:16I have to wait.
25:16It's not going to let any of you be.
25:18I've got a gift.
25:22I've got a gift.
25:27I've got a gift.
25:32I don't know.
26:10It's not that I can't decide if I want you by my side.
26:20It's not that my heart doesn't skip a beat when I catch your eyes looking down on me.
26:31I wish there was another way to say this.
26:36If it makes you happy, it's not me.
26:40If it makes you happy, it's not me.
27:14Are you kidding me?
27:16An hour and a half to go to the store for sugar and some eggs.
27:21Where have you been?
27:22Why did you take so long and why was your phone off?
27:26Harold, have you been drinking and you're in front of our girl?
27:29Answer me!
27:31I can explain.
27:34Yeah?
27:36So can I.
27:43Get up.
27:47Follow me home.
28:14I found your mother.
28:26Mommy!
28:27Mommy!
28:28Mommy!
28:36You left the girls home alone?
28:37But what choice do I have when their mother disappears and is unreachable?
28:44Mommy!
28:45We missed you, Mommy!
28:46Mommy!
28:46I missed you more.
28:47Mommy!
28:57Mommy!
29:04Mommy!
29:06Mommy!
29:08Mommy!
29:27I'm not done talking.
29:35What is your problem?
29:37So I was gone at the grocery store for a little longer.
29:40So what?
29:42You had your beer and your daughters, who you rarely see because of work.
29:48Why are you on my case?
29:50Was babysitting a little rough in that measly hour?
29:52I have your location on our family plan, remember?
29:56I can see where you are on my app.
30:00And I'm sitting here on my phone, thinking, why is she traveling north?
30:06And then turns her phone off for an hour.
30:10So I went to a vineyard to grab some wine.
30:17I thought if I could drink all day like you, maybe we could raise our daughters like typical drunk Americans.
30:23We could all just numb together.
30:25And yet, you never purchased a single bottle.
30:30Liar.
30:44You put your hands on me again, I'll fucking kill you in your sleep.
30:48You understand me?
30:56Try me, asshole.
30:59Put the knife down, okay?
31:04Okay.
31:06I got the memo.
31:09Did you?
31:10My cheek is telling me a different story.
31:14I was worried about you.
31:16I thought someone took you.
31:17You mean someone tried to do me a favor.
31:20I was concerned.
31:22Over what?
31:24What did you think I was doing?
31:27Sleeping with the vintner?
31:29I'm not like that.
31:31I don't fuck strange men, Harold.
31:33I know you don't.
31:37I needed to unplug.
31:39So I turned off my phone.
31:41And I took a drive.
31:44I needed some peace and quiet.
31:47I'm always on the road.
31:49Carding kids here.
31:50Carding kids there.
31:51For once, I wanted to pull over and have a good cry.
31:57Okay?
31:59It's a woman thing.
32:01Something a man like you with a clenched fist and alcoholic breath couldn't possibly understand.
32:09How did you get so strong and opinionated over the past hour?
32:33You married an onion, Harold.
32:36There are many layers to me.
32:40Layers I didn't even know I had.
32:47Yeah.
33:22I got it.
33:24I'm a doctor, Anna.
33:29You can't use that on your knee.
33:32You're gonna damage the healthy tissue that makes your scrape heal.
33:43There.
33:57Better?
34:03A thank you would be nice.
34:09I'm not gonna thank you from the same mouth you shut.
34:25I'm not gonna thank you from the same mouth you shut.
34:55I'm not gonna do it.
35:32I love you.
36:28Starting route to Carmela Vines.
36:58This is crazy. This is crazy, Anna.
37:01She's going to turn around and go home right now.
37:04Anna, you're going to slow down.
37:06You're going to turn around and you're going to go back to your family.
37:08You're going to go back to your husband, back to your kids.
37:11You're going to stop this right now.
37:13Stop it, Anna. Stop it.
37:24You're going to go back to your family.
37:50You're going to go back to your family.
37:50Carmela Vines.
37:51Nine minutes.
38:10Help! Help us!
38:17Sebastien.
38:26Breathe! Breathe!
38:35Come back!
38:37You can't die on me.
38:39I love you.
38:43I love you.
39:11Tell them there's a doctor on site, but we're going to need life-saving medical assistance for transport.
39:23Hang in there, buddy. I got you.
39:26Save him.
39:27Please.
39:53Easy.
39:54Easy. Easy.
39:59Save me.
40:01My husband did.
40:17I need a drink.
40:26Can we give the wine a rest, Mr. Brahms?
40:28I'm trying to listen to your heart.
40:30Don't bother, Doc.
40:32All you're going to hear is the tick-tock.
40:35Tick-tock.
40:36Of a bum ticker.
40:42The blackout was triggered by an arrhythmic heart episode.
40:46Episode.
40:47That's rich.
40:48And your cancer diagnosis was most certainly a contributing factor.
40:51There you go again with the C-word.
40:54Treat this, Sebastian.
40:56You don't have much time.
40:58Days, maybe.
41:02Unless those clinical trials deliver some miracle.
41:08Well, we might as well all drink up while we can.
41:11I better grab a glass.
41:12Sebastian.
41:14It's not funny.
41:16I'm afraid Sebastian's right.
41:18Drink wine.
41:20Be with the ones you love.
41:22Live while you still can.
41:32Doc, are you joining us?
41:34No, thank you.
41:35Okay.
41:37Okay.
41:40Okay.
41:41Okay.
41:41Okay.
41:50To life.
41:54To those seconds that we'll never get back.
42:00And those people who remind us we're still living.
42:07And having the courage.
42:10Have a real experience even though you know it won't last.
42:29Wait.
42:37What happened to your cheek?
42:44My daughters are brutes.
42:45They swing their heads around like dumbbells when they play together.
42:49Bam.
42:50I took one to the cheek.
43:00May I?
43:08I took one to the cheek.
43:11Anna.
43:16This looks like you were struck.
43:18No.
43:18No.
43:18They were playing and I...
43:20I struck her.
43:22The truth is I...
43:25I hit her.
43:27In anger.
43:28No, you didn't.
43:28I did, Anna.
43:30I did.
43:32I put my hands on her because I love her too much to lose her.
43:39And with every strike, you lose her even more.
43:46Yeah.
43:51The truth.
44:09I'm going to the ooking powerful.
44:13I'm going to act.
44:14No, I'm going to be quite ŠæŠ¾ŠæŃŠ»ŃŃ.
44:15I'm going to go with her.
44:29This is her, her wife, her name's Anna too, she died five years ago, medical procedure,
44:45taken far too soon. For reasons that, to this day, I still don't understand. She always
44:53knew that she was going to die first, even though I'm ten years older than her. My point
44:59is this, she said, when she goes first, she wanted to have the privilege of teaching me
45:07the last lesson in life. Grief, the last lesson they give you in life is how to grieve.
45:20Her passing taught me something else too. Love is fragile. And you protect it. You don't
45:30bruise it. If you strike the one that you love, well then you bruise her heart forever.
46:10Hey, what did I miss?
46:29Carmilla Vines. The name of my late wife's mother, Carmilla. Grapevines are like people,
46:36separate roots, tangled lives. They twist toward the light, endure the seasons, and still
46:48somehow bear fruit together.
47:14I'm really going to miss you.
47:17Goodbyes aren't endings. They're echoes. Calling your name. Forever.
47:51What's this one called, Mommy? Well, let's see.
47:55I picked out a special one for tonight
47:59It's called
48:00The Velveteen Rabbit
48:01That's a funny name
48:03What's a Velveteen Rabbit?
48:08Once there was a Velveteen Rabbit
48:10And in the beginning he was really splendid
48:12He wasn't the newest toy
48:14Or the fanciest
48:15But deep down he longed for something magical
48:18To be loved so much
48:20That he would become real
48:22As she got older
48:24She got distracted
48:28Forgot the magic
48:37What is real?
48:38Asked the rabbit
48:40When a child loves you for a long long time
48:43Said the skin horse
48:48Open up your mind
48:50I'm sorry
48:52I'm sorry
49:21I'm sorry, Sebastian.
49:49I'm sorry, Sebastian.
50:16Your wife's legacy and your property is secure, sir.
50:23Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.
50:25Best of luck at your clinical trial.
50:29Best of luck reading a will to the next of kin.
50:33It's not too late to change your mind.
50:36You could give everything to charity.
50:39If I had time, I'd lead everything to one person.
50:47But time waits for no one.
50:50Speaking of time, Mr. Brahms, I'm afraid it's time to go.
51:08I'm sorry.
51:08Yeah.
51:09I'm sorry.
51:11I'm sorry.
51:26I'll be right back.
51:26If we go to the next trial, there's no news.
51:27I'm sorry.
52:30It's her.
52:31Pull over.
52:35She came back for me.
52:36She came back for me.
53:01Did you really mean this?
53:06Would you really do this?
53:08For me?
53:20I want to live for you.
53:38Give me your hand.
53:48Do you have hands?
53:50Do you have hands?
53:50Yeah.
53:53And don't you ever let go.
53:57Not yet.
54:01I'm not done loving you.
54:06You're in my hands now.
54:10I'm not done loving you.
54:11I'm not done loving you.
54:39I'm not done loving you.
54:40I'm not done loving you.
54:41You
