ever since the moment of her death.

Look, Mr. Rivers,

my son died when he was 12.

- For years I've been suicidal.

- Look. Just stay away from me.

But then someone told me

what I have told you.

That my son, my dead son,

had made contact.

And he had, Mr. Rivers, it was true.

From the other side.

And he was happy. Happy.

Please. Yes. And also at ease.

And it changed my life, Mr. Rivers,

because then, then I knew.

So please, please, Mr. Rivers,

put this in a drawer, hide it, forget about it,

but please don't throw it away.

Because, one day...

you will want to know.

My thoughts are with you both.

(John) 'It's Anna Rivers.

'The fabulous Anna Rivers

carrying groceries. '

- 'Stop it. '

- 'How was shopping? '

- 'Turn it off. '

- 'OK. Just...

- 'There's one of her best features. '

- 'Shut up. '

'That's a beautiful thing,

ladies and gentlemen. '

(Knocking)

(Woman) 'The body of internationally renowned

author Anna Rivers

'was discovered last night

by a security guard making a routine visit... '

(Man) '... to the disused pier 16,

three miles upriver

'from where her car was found abandoned

'five weeks ago on Argyle Avenue.

'The discovery brings to an end... '

(Man) 'Before she drowned,

'your wife sustained injuries consistent

with a fall onto the rocks by the river.

'The damage to the head,

the break to the arm.

'When the tide came in, she would have been

unable to help herself.

'She would have been swept upstream

several miles.

'I'm so sorry for your loss. '

(Woman) 'Divers recovered

her personal effects.

'Her cell phone was in her car,

and we're returning it to you. '

(Man)... giving her to us, her family and friends,

to know and to love as a companion

on our earthly pilgrimage.

Give us faith to see in death

the gate of eternal life,

so that in quiet confidence

we may continue our course on earth

until, by Your call, we are reunited

with those who have gone before.

- Amen.

- (All) Amen.

- So, what do you think?

- I love it.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. It's nice here.

- All right.

- It's a fresh start.

I guess.

Could you...

Could you take Mikey for the weekend?

Yeah, of course.

Maybe... maybe a little longer.

As long as you want, John.

(Sobbing)

(Worker) We're gonna go lay the floor now.

- When are you gonna bring them?

- They'd like to see you this week.

Sure. Fine, it shouldn't be any problem.

(Shaking and rattling)

(Both) Whoops.

(Man, chuckling) You brought me here

just to do that, didn't you?

(John) No, I didn't.

Let me see what I can do here.

(Man) This is where you tell me

you're running over budget, right?

- (Cellphone rings)

- (Man) Sh*t. Keep doing that!
