["LA BRUJA" PLAYING]
[EDDIE] I know death.
I've seen it, felt it, fought it.
I've saved some people
I never really knew,
and lost others whose
names I'll never forget.
One way or another,
they all haunt you.
Tonight, they say the veil is thin,
that the dead walk among
us, if only for a little while.
Is that just something we
tell ourselves to ease the ache,
or is it real?
Do they stay with us,
somehow hear us when
we speak their names?
Are they really gone if we
still hold them in our hearts,
if we remember?
Babe, can you see in that thing?
[PERSON 1] Uh,
can you hold my head?
Oh, that's better.
Sure you don't want me to drive?
Babe, I'm the Headless Horseman.
Climb into my steed. [CHUCKLES] Oh.
["GOTTA GET UP" PLAYING]
Can you, um
Pull that rug out from my feet ♪
Gotta get up ♪
Gotta keep on moving ♪
Van, seriously?
Sorry, it's just really
hard to see in this thing.
Which is exactly why I told you to
put it on when you got to the party.
People will know it's me.
Right, because they'll
have no idea who you are
when you walk in with your girlfriend.
But you're not my girlfriend
you're a sexy vampire.
[BRAKES SQUEAL]
Hey, Headless not handless.
Keep your paws on the wheel.
I will once I can see
again. Can you help?
I I can't see. Can you just pull
The button. I think
the button, the button.
- Can you just help me?
- I can't
- Please.
- There. Fixed.
[BOTH SCREAM]
- [BRAKES SQUEAL]
- [LOUD CRASH]
[MADDIE]
[SIRENS WAILING]
All right, driver's side
took the brunt of it.
Buck, Ravi, hit the engine.
LAFD, ma'am. How are you guys doing?
I'm okay, but my boyfriend, he
didn't say much after the crash.
I think it knocked him
out for a few seconds.
All right, we'll get him out.
- Okay.
- Just hold tight, okay?
Hen, Eddie, we got two
injured, both in costumes.
Damn. Already?
So much for avoiding the
costume curse this year.
- Buck, grab the jaws.
- [BUCK] Yeah.
- Ravi, keep the engine cool.
- [RAVI] You got it.
Are you in any pain or
discomfort? I see some blood here.
I bit my lip. [CHUCKLES]
- LAFD. Sir, can you tell me your name?
- Van.
Was there an accident?
Do you not remember?
- My costume kept slipping.
- [EDDIE] Ah, ah, ah!
Don't move, okay? We
still gotta check you out, sir.
All right, can you feel your toes?
No. No, I don't think so.
Okay.
[HEN] How is he?
Cervical spine trauma. I think
he might be going into shock.
But it's too risky to pull him
out from the passenger side.
[BUCK] Jaws flying in.
- Jaws are dead.
- Dead? How?
[SIGHS] Costume curse.
Costume's not a curse. It's a C-collar.
Look, it's keeping traction on his neck.
All right, let's get
the backboard ready.
Buck, chock the tires.
Ravi, you're on the winch.
- We're pulling this door off.
- Got it.
[BUCK GRUNTS] Okay, Ravi.
Ready.
Yeah, keep going.
Almost there.
[BUCK GRUNTS]
Sir, do you feel any pain?
No, just stiff. Feet are tingling.
- All right.
- Can you move them?
[HEN] Okay, good.
Good. We love to see it.
[VAN] How's the other person doing?
You mean the other
woman in the car with you?
The guy in the road,
the one that we hit.
I think they were
dressed as a scarecrow.
Cap, I think we got another one.
LAFD, can you hear us?
- LAFD. Does anyone need help?
- Come on.
[RAVI] LAFD.
- Buck.
- Yeah.
I didn't see anything
before the crash. I swear.
- I'm telling you there was a guy.
- [RAVI] Got him.
What is that?
This look like the guy you hit?
Oh, thank God.
I was starting to worry I
might've killed someone.
A few minor scrapes and
bruises, but I think he'll live.
[GROANING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
Is something going to happen
to me when I eat this cookie?
Come on. Will you just take a bite?
[SIGHS]
- Well?
- It's good.
- But is it right?
- I don't know what that means.
Something is missing.
I keep trying to recreate Bobby's
famous snickerdoodles from memory
'cause I can't find the recipe.
Maybe if you baked
less and unpacked more,
you'd be able to find things.
Well, maybe you could judge
less and help me look more.
All right, "K" doesn't
stand for "kitchen."
I think "K" was for "kitsch"?
What? I thought I'd be able to
remember what was in the boxes.
I didn't know it was gonna take
me four months to find a place
and then another three to get
the previous tenant to move out.
Yeah, I think I would've walked away.
Yeah, but how about that backyard?
- The trees are nice.
- Yeah.
I actually have to speak
with the landlord about them.
I keep hearing noises in the night.
I think maybe squirrels in the attic.
Squirrels, huh?
- Or maybe a ghost.
- Oh.
- It's squirrels.
- Or a squirrel ghost.
- Don't. Why are you being like this?
- Because it's Halloween.
It's the spirit of the season.
Or maybe I'm sensing some
paranormal energies in here.
The energies are normal, unlike you.
- Oh, wow.
- Oh. Did you find the recipe?
[SIGHING] Yeah.
- I really miss him.
- I know.
[MADDIE] That's a great place for it.
Maybe he'll help
inspire you in the kitchen.
Wait, so you didn't
like the snickerdoodles?
No, no, it's it's great, honestly.
I can even get a workout
in before breakfast.
- [MAY SCOFFS]
- Sorry,
I've just been shoving
everything into this room
until I can figure out
where it should go,
and then I'd close the door
and just kind of forget all about it,
till we discussed your moving in.
Was it a discussion?
- It's really nice.
- Oh, I'm glad you like it.
And I can definitely find
another place for the bike.
No, might as well leave it.
He's gotta stay in shape
to pass his firefighters'
fitness assessment, right?
[CHUCKLING] Hey, let's
not get ahead of ourselves.
I haven't even gotten
called in for an interview yet.
Now, this dresser is empty, so
you can put all your stuff in here,
but I'm afraid I may have stashed
a few things in the closet. [CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS] Um
- I'll find another place.
- No.
They can stay.
I think it'll be nice having
a piece of him here.
Um, I'll let you settle in and,
uh, I'll order us some lunch.
I didn't think Stockholm
syndrome kicked in that fast.
I'm not a hostage.
I agreed to move in here,
and she agreed to be open to
me joining the fire department.
[SIGHS] You don't need
her permission, Harry.
- But I want it.
- [SIGHS]
I want her to support what I'm
doing. I want her to be proud of me.
Turns out he was driving his friends
while your abuelos were
at work. [CHUCKLES]
[WHISPERS] Without a license.
- He didn't have a license?
- Mm-mmm.
Our golden boy failed
his driver's test twice,
and yet, he could get the
car started without a key.
[CHRISTOPHER] Dad!
[EDDIE] Okay, he is doing his math,
and I'm thinking I might
wanna start hiding my car keys.
Maybe you'd like to
hide them with these.
What are you guys doing
searching through my kitchen?
Sorry, I I didn't know
that you kept anything
other than roasting pans
above your refrigerator.
[EDDIE SIGHS]
The prayer book was a
gift from Captain Nash.
He was Catholic?
He was.
And the rosary?
Those
- are mine.
- Edmundo, you're going back to church?
[CHUCKLES] I've only
gone to a few masses.
Let's not make a big deal about it.
Go. Go.
It is a big deal.
You are reconnecting with
your faith, with your community.
I don't know how connected I feel yet.
I don't even know if I'm
doing it for me or Bobby.
- How does Christopher feel about it?
- He doesn't know yet.
I'm not gonna pressure him, okay?
I was forced to go to
church, and I hated it.
When he gets older, he
can decide for himself.
[CLATTERING]
[GLASS SHATTERING]
Cream of tartar. The missing ingredient.
Oh, my God. Guys. Guys! Oh, my God!
You're not gonna believe this.
Okay, so you know how I told you all
I've been having trouble
with the snickerdoodles?
Bobby's recipe.
Come on, guys, I've been
working at this for weeks,
trying to figure out
the missing ingredient.
- If you say so.
- Forget it. Just taste. Here, take.
Come on. Okay. Hen, you get one.
Ravi. Come on. Chim, Cap, take a bite.
- Oh, damn. This is pretty good.
- [EDDIE] Mm-hmm.
I mean, Cap always
was an excellent baker.
You know what he was even
better at? Not talking about baking.
- These are great, Buck.
- Guess how I figured it out.
Obsessively trying every spice in
the cabinet in alphabetical order?
No. Bobby told me.
- Okay, Buck.
- [BUCK] I know it sounds crazy.
I really think he helped me.
I found a picture of him
and I. I put it in the kitchen.
Next night, bam. There it is.
Cream of tartar. [CHUCKLES]
[EDDIE] It's not completely crazy.
I mean, people experience
things they can't explain all the time.
You sure it's just cream of tartar?
Yeah, 'cause you are not Eddie Diaz.
He is the opposite of
superstitious. Remember?
I'm trying to keep an open mind.
Leave room for the unknown.
Who hurt you, shape-shifter?
You know, I wouldn't say this is
the craziest thing I've ever heard,
though it's close,
but whatever this is
It-It's Bobby.
[ALARM RINGING]
Tell him we miss him.
[MADDIE]
Sir, a missing pumpkin
is not an emergency.
Oh, it's about to be.
["SATAN" PLAYING]
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
You've been feeding Your
kingdom all over this land ♪
- Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
- [CAR HORN HONKS]
You know the mothers They
gonna break your kingdom down ♪
You know the mothers They
gonna break your kingdom down ♪
[SCOOTER RIDER YELPS]
[CLAMORING]
All units be advised pumpkin is orange,
approximately 20 feet in diameter,
and last seen heading
northwest on 8th Street.
Use caution when approaching.
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
1-L-70, I'm showing you in the area.
[OFFICER, OVER RADIO]
This is 1-L-70 in pursuit on foot.
It just took out a food
vendor in Pershing Square.
- Do you still have eyes on it?
- [OFFICER] I lost it.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
Okay, so northwest
on 9th, wind's blowing
north-northwest eight miles per hour,
which means it's heading
right for the freeway.
If that thing bounces
down onto the 110
It'll be a new level of chaos.
A mass casualty pileup.
Gotta cut it off before it gets there.
Okay. 9th and Grand.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[BRAKES SQUEAL]
Dispatch, we're at 9th and
Grand. No sign of the gourd yet.
If I'm right, it will be
there any second.
- [WILLIAMS]Then what do we do?
- Stop it.
I got visual. Everybody back! Get back.
Satan, your kingdom must come down ♪
It-It bounced.
It bounced! Damn it!
[BRAKES SQUEAL]
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30 in
position to neutralize the suspect.
Taser, Taser, Taser!
[TASER CRACKLES]
727-L-30, what's your status?
Dispatch, suspect has been subdued.
[MADDIE] Nice work, Sergeant.
What are you smiling at?
[EDDIE] Bigger crowd than I
expected on a weekday morning.
It's the only mass of the day now.
Prayers can't be choosers.
- Not my line.
- [EDDIE CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES] It's Father Bolsonaro.
Oh, a funny priest. I don't
remember those growing up.
Maybe I wouldn't have
hated mass so much.
Well, you needed
something to rebel against.
Wasn't just about rebellion, you know?
Just never felt that thing,
God's presence, or whatever
you're supposed to feel.
- And now you're back.
- Whoa. I wouldn't say "back."
I'd say I'm testing the
waters, taking the temp.
Coming to a mass on a Wednesday?
Only for you because you're
my abuela and I love you.
But what is love if not a
sign of God's presence?
So when I was looking
for him in church
Mi niño, you were
looking in the wrong place.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[PERSON 1] Oh, God,
we call upon you in the
dire hour of our need.
[SCREAMING]
Brother Ken and Sister Lydia
have led a most devout life,
raising a family in the
light of your almighty ways.
[PERSON 2 GRUNTING]
Now, their innocent child,
dear Sister Abigail, has
been taken by the devil.
[GROANING, SCREAMING]
Our brothers and sisters
raise their hands and voices
in praise of your power
to cast out this evil.
- [SCREAMING]
- [CONGREGATION CLAMORING]
We beg you, release this
poor child's demonic bondages.
Expel Satan from her body.
Free her from suffering!
[SCREAMING]
[ALL SILENT]
Sister Abigail, has the demon left you?
[SCREAMS]
- [MUFFLED YELLING]
- [ATTENDEE] Keep praying, everybody!
What are we walking into here?
LAFD, make way.
Paramedics coming through.
Please, please, please, please.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[HEN] She clamped on him like a vice.
Not the kind of bite I was expecting.
It's not her fault. It's
the demon inside her.
- The demon?
- A demon.
Brother Isaac was
casting it out of her body.
- You were doing an exorcism?
- The devil's in her.
- We must pray together.
- All right. Great.
Buck, please, set
the praying up outside.
Come on, guys. Give them some
space. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Outside.
Let's go.
Does your daughter have
a history of mental illness?
- No, nothing like that.
- [EDDIE] Has she had any medication?
- Hit her head recently?
- No.
- She's been perfectly healthy until now.
- What about travel?
Maybe something out of the country?
She attended a pre-college
program in Costa Rica last month.
Though she told us it
was a missionary trip.
Since then, we've
been keeping her close.
[ABIGAIL GROANS]
Clearly.
[BUCK] Hey, Cap. I think I
know where the devil came from.
Copy that. Coming to you.
- Yeah, what do we got?
- In here. Check it out.
[GRUNTS]
They must have been keeping her in here
against her will, probably for days.
There's not great air flow back here.
Maybe mold or something.
No.
A different toxin.
BP's high. Heart's racing.
Severe muscle spasms.
Spasms could be from the
pain. Start with ketamine?
[GRUNTS] If we could
keep her still long enough.
[SCREAMING]
It's the devil!
No, it's tetanus.
They were keeping her in a room
back there on a rusty bed frame.
If you check her feet, I'm willing
to bet there's a puncture wound.
Your daughter didn't need
prayers. She needed antibiotics.
Lockjaw.
[EDDIE] Start with midazolam.
Hopefully, relaxes her enough
so we can get her to the hospital.
Then if that doesn't work?
We'll have to go paralytic.
Prepare to intubate her. Just
in case she stops breathing.
The devil can't take her.
Respectfully, sir, I'm
gonna need you to shut it.
I would hate to hit the wrong patient.
[ABIGAIL STRAINING, GROANING]
Give it a second.
- [HEN] It's not working.
- Going stronger.
- Prepare one milligram of sux.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I think there's too much sensory input.
The lights, they might
be making it worse.
Buck, let's go dark.
[ABIGAIL STRAINING]
[GRUNTS, STRAINS]
[ABIGAIL GROANS]
[PANTING]
Go.
[BOTH PANTING]
- Oh, thank God.
- All right, let's get her on a gurney.
So possession, huh?
Why do you think the
devil chose Abigail?
She was a good girl.
Sometimes those are the easiest to
lead astray. [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Abigail was losing her faith.
She wanted to leave
us, leave our way of life.
[KEN] Can we go with her?
[STAMMERS]
You can visit her at the hospital later.
Assuming that she
still wants to see you.
Why wouldn't she want to see us?
You locked her in a
cell, tied her to a table.
She said she was sick,
and you said it was the devil.
We know what's best for our daughter.
Sounds like that's something
for a higher power to decide.
You're under arrest for false
imprisonment, child abuse
and endangerment, the three of you.
You have the right to remain silent.
[GRUNTS]
[GROANING]
Hey, there you are. Are you and
Chris doing anything for Halloween?
Just ordering some pizza,
watching a movie. Why?
What if you and Chris came over
and we try to talk to Bobby?
A Ouija board? You really think that's
what my son should
be doing on Halloween?
It's ages eight and up. I checked.
Really, Buck?
Just need to quit the whole
haunted house bit. It's not real.
What happened to leaving a
little room for the unknown?
Abigail happened.
She put her faith in everything
she was supposed to,
and what did she get?
Hmm? Tetanus, lockjaw,
maybe 30 years of therapy.
It's not supernatural.
It's just ordinary and ugly.
I'm sorry, Buck,
but God wasn't in that room,
and Bobby isn't in your house.
- What did you get?
- Um, I got some sour worms.
I'll trade you my peanut
butter cup for your sour worms.
- Sure. Changies!
- Changies!
Pipe down!
You're waking the dead.
Do you not read? "RIP." Rest in peace.
Does that mean nothing
to you living beings?
He's funny. [CHUCKLES]
What are you supposed to be?
Dead.
Let's totally be that next year.
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
Where's your costume?
- Thought we were going to a party tonight.
- I lied. And, seriously, Raggedy Andy?
[SCOFFS]
Surprisingly popular with single women.
Okay, this is not not weird.
I can explain.
You want to use the Ouija
board to talk to Cap's ghost
who you think is haunting your house.
Great, so you're in.
I might as well be. Uh, turns out
I have nothing else to do tonight.
Uh, lower the lights, would you?
I don't think you have to
do that for a Ouija board.
Uh, no, but I didn't
buy any candy this year,
and I don't want people
thinking I'm home. Over there.
All right.
[BUCK] Okay, we almost have a message.
"O."
"T."
"You're an idiot"? Really, Rav?
It's what Bobby would
say if he was here,
which, I'm sorry, Buck, he's not.
[OBJECT CLATTERS]
What was that?
Buck. Shelf.
It's a footprint.
Grab that flashlight.
- Okay, uh, give me a boost.
- All right.
Okay. Okay, on three. One, two, three.
[BOTH SCREAM]
Okay. Thank you. You
have a good evening.
[WILLIAMS] His name is Dwayne Payton.
According to his ID and your
landlord, he used to live here.
Yeah, but I thought he got evicted.
[WILLIAMS] They served the
notice, and then he disappeared.
Into my attic.
Look, we can charge him for
trespassing, illegal lodging, vandalism.
Is that what you want?
Hey, was it fun for you?
Making me feel like
my house was haunted.
The kid was right. You're an idiot.
Yeah? Well, I'm gonna press charges.
How about that, huh? Get him
out of my house and lock him up.
- It's my house.
- No, it's not! Not anymore!
You can't keep me out. I got
in before and I'll get in again.
- [OFFICER] Right to remain silent.
- Hey, hey, wait.
Where's the recipe?
Bobby's recipe. I know you
took it, so what did you do with it?
I didn't take anything.
So how did you know cream of tartar?
Cookies were dull. Needed a tang.
[DOOR CLOSES]
You need some help cleaning up?
No. I'm all good.
Hey, if you were so sure
that it wasn't Bobby's ghost,
then why did you play along earlier?
You seemed like you needed it.
[SIGHS]
[GASPS]
- Hey, Mom.
- Oh.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going to a Halloween party.
You like the costume?
Your costume?
Well, yeah, I mean,
it's a costume tonight,
- but once I graduate from the academy
- Stop talking.
You know, for a minute, I
really thought that I was wrong,
that maybe I had overreacted
when you said that you would
apply to join the fire department.
But now I see that I was right.
- Right about what?
- That you're not ready for this.
Because that is not a costume,
and the fact that you think it is
tells me that you are nowhere
near mature enough to do the job.
No, Mom. It's-it's not like that.
I just I wanted to see how it felt.
So now you know.
So you can take it off and
find yourself another costume.
[OFFICIANT] Father God,
today we commit the soul
- of Jeremiah Kamada to your loving care.
- [SOBBING]
May perpetual light shine upon
him, guiding his soul to eternal peace.
Lord, let his memory be a blessing
and grant that he is
peacefully laid to rest
in your loving and gentle hands.
Amen.
Hello? Uh, excuse me.
This one's taken. I'm in here. Hello!
Jeremiah?
Jeremiah, is that thee?
Not Jeremiah.
We were in the middle of lowering
the casket when we heard a voice.
Gravediggers removed the
casket so we could see inside,
only for us to find, well
- [CHIM] Who is that?
- Not my husband.
- Is he alive?
- No, he is not.
- He's just playing dead.
- I am dead.
If he makes it out of my husband's
grave, he'll wish he were dead.
Okay. How about you all let us
handle it from here? Ravi, would you
Right this way, Father. Ma'am?
Now will you beings finally
leave me to rest in silence?
It took me forever to find this place.
- Okay, what are you thinking?
- Psychiatric or a substance?
Maybe he has a concussion.
He could've fallen in.
- Why don't we just ask him?
- No, just, uh, please leave me alone.
We just wanna talk.
Doesn't anybody have
any respect for the dead?
That gash on your forehead.
Do you remember how you died?
A man in a blue car, he ran me over.
- And did you get a good look at him?
- I never saw his face.
I don't think he had one.
- He didn't have a face?
- He didn't have a head.
The guy in the road,
the one that we hit,
I think they were
dressed as a scarecrow.
This look like the guy you hit?
I was starting to worry I
might've killed someone.
A man without a head who
thought he hit a man we couldn't find.
- Eddie, what side is the injury on?
- Right.
[HEN] Right frontal lobe.
- Cotard's syndrome.
- Uh, whose syndrome?
It's a neuropsychiatric disorder.
It's walking corpse syndrome.
Damaged regions of the brain that
involve self-awareness, perception,
leading a person to
believe that they're dead
- or they don't even exist at all.
- Is that even something we can cure?
Sir, do you mind if I
check something out?
Oh, no.
Uh, guys, I can't find a pulse.
What is he doing?
He's bringing him back
to life. Anything, Eddie?
No pulse. I I think he's gone.
Not if we can help it.
Hen, the defibrillator.
Yeah.
All right, starting compressions.
All right. Pulse check.
Come on.
Okay, clear!
We've got a pulse!
And it's a pretty strong one too.
[CHUCKLES] It is?
- We almost lost you there.
- But you made it.
- Welcome back.
- I'm back?
[CHIM CHUCKLES] He is so back.
[ALL CHEERING, CHUCKLING]
Oh, God. Am I really back?
From the dead? [CHUCKLES]
My family is gonna be so
happy to hear about this!
- Thank you so much.
- Ahem!
Do you think we can bury my husband now?
- Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Coming up.
- All right. Yeah. We should
Welcome back, hey.
Thank you, Jeremiah. Condolences.
[CREAKING]
Seriously?
Dwayne!
Hey.
Dwayne!
[GRUNTING]
[GRUNTS]
A sobriety chip.
Hey, Cap.
[RUNNING WATER, STOPS]
Morning, Dad.
Hey, kiddo. You're up early.
I thought maybe abuela was cooking.
She's not here, but I
can make you something.
But I saw her last night.
She was in my room.
She told me not to be
afraid, and that she loved me.
I think you were dreaming, bud.
I'll get you something to eat.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hey, tía. Guess everyone's
getting an early start today.
- [AUNT PEPA CRYING] Eddie.
- Tía?
[AUNT PEPA CRYING] Eddie
What's wrong?
[AUNT PEPA CRYING]
It's your abuela. She's gone.
[CRYING]
I came to pick her up for church.
And when she didn't
answer, I let myself in.
They say that they
look like they're sleeping.
But I knew the second I saw her
she was gone.
[CRYING]
[SNIFFLES]
Eddie.
[SOBS] Eddie.
I thought that maybe
one of the officers would
help me,
but they said that
I needed to be the one to call
someone to come get her.
Funeral home.
They said it would be
a few hours. [SNIFFS]
I don't know what to do until then.
What if we prayed?
I think she would like that. Okay.
They said you dropped the charges.
Well, you didn't actually do any damage.
You did help with
the whole cookie thing,
so I figured I'd repay the favor.
Thanks, man.
But, uh, not sure where
I'm supposed to go now.
Well [SIGHS] how about a meeting?
There's one a few blocks from here.
You're a friend of Bill W.
Yeah, I'm a friend of a friend.
[ATHENA] You sure left your mark.
You were a good man. Good husband.
You loved and inspired my kids.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm not sure I'll ever
forgive you for that.
It's not his fault.
Bobby was a good guy, and I loved him.
But I was the son of a first
responder long before I ever met him.
It's not about being like him, Mom.
It's about being like you.
["GRACIAS A LA VIDA" PLAYS]
[EDDIE] The first day
of a loss isn't the hardest.
There's too damn much to do.
People to call, arrangements to make.
Too busy to remember,
too overwhelmed to let go.
Sadness is for tomorrow,
when finally you're alone,
heartbroken and angry in
the quiet and the silence until
until you realize you're
never really alone at all.
["GRACIAS A LA VIDA" CONTINUES]
[EDDIE] Maybe we have to be
the ghosts of the people we love,
haunting the world with their memory
and the lessons they left behind.
Maybe there are no specters, no spirits.
Just us.
Celebrating, dancing,
remembering, alive together.
And maybe
- [EDDIE SIGHS]
- that's enough.
We should do this every year.
It doesn't make you too sad?
No. It's like they're still here.
You know?
[EDDIE] Yeah.
I know.
