Come on, guys.
Come on, guys. Come on. I can't see.
Come on. Do I look as stupid as I feel?
Absolutely, but don't blame me.
It was your husband's idea.
Partners at work. Partners at gift giving.
Okay, Bonnie. Ta-dah.
What are you two up to?
The Yellow Pages.
Well, who says you guys don't know how
to make a girl feel special?
Page 82.
Oh. That is such a great ad!
Thank you.
I wrote that.
You did not.
Where's, uh, where's Jesse?
Well, he's probably playing
with that stupid toy piano you bought him.
Well, I'd like to buy him a real one.
We just bought a house. We're not buying a piano.
I can go back to work.
You have a job. It's taking care of Jesse.
I know what my job is.
Then why do we have to keep having this conversation
over and over again?
Ahem. You know, I don't hear Jesse at all.
You know, when he gets this quiet,
it's not a good sign.
He's probably breaking something.
When you have kids, man,
lock them in their room till they're 21.
He's joking, right?
Jess?
Jesse?
Jesse, come on out.
Jess?
Steve.
Honey, come on!
Come on, it's... ( gasps )
Just come in here, Jess!
Jesse, don't do that!
( screaming )
Jess!
( screaming )
Call 911.
He fell off the roof.
Hi, Mommy.
Oh, baby! Ohh! Oh, baby.
Oh, are you okay?
Swear to God, Jesse, what do you think you're doing?
I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm very sorry.
BONNIE: Oh, it's all right.
We're just happy you're okay.
Great job of watching him, Mom.
Not now, Steve.
The lady caught me.
What lady?
The lady in the white hat.
Are you sure you didn't hit your head?
Come on, let's go inside. It's freezing out here.
No, you weren't.
You were falling, and you could have really gotten hurt.
Jesse, I want you off that roof, okay?
I'm gonna get Jesse some ice cream.
It's not every day you fall off a roof
and get caught by a lady in a white hat.
It makes me crazy to think of what could have happened.
Well, I think he's young. His bones are flexible,
and he landed right,
and I think we were very, very lucky.
No, no ice cream. I'll go pick some up.
MATTHEW: Jesse loves chocolate chip.
No, he doesn't. You do.
Want me to come with you?
No, I'll be right back.
Jesse, you gave me the scare of my life.
Oh, everything's okay now, sweetie. ( chuckles )
Yes, I remember that day very well, in fact.
I was still in Search-And-Rescue then.
Oh, it was a wonderful day to be able to help that family.
Uh-huh, well, you saved little Jesse all right,
but the family didn't live happily ever after, I'm afraid.
The father Steve-- he had a very bad car accident.
Good morning, Mr. Bell. It's a beautiful day today.
How are we feeling?
Better?
Hmm... Mr....
I didn't think so.
He's in a coma.
The doctors say it's irreversible.
MONICA: What a sad ending to a beautiful story.
Oh, we're not even close to the end, angel girl.
When did this happen?
The day you were there.
But that was...
I know. It's time to get to work.
Work?
But how could I help someone in a coma?
You can't.
It's time to wake up.
I am really hungry.
Mr. Bell?
How long have I been here?
Counting today?
About five years.
Five years?

You may have some memory lapses for a while,
but it should all come back.
In long-term coma cases,
we almost always see adverse physical effects,
but you seem perfectly fine.
You sound disappointed.
No, not at all. Just... stunned.
You're stunned. I went to sleep and woke up five years older.
I'll go call your wife now.
I still don't see why I can't call her myself.
Well, in situations like this, getting a phone call
from somebody's who been in a coma for five years
can be pretty traumatizing.
DOCTOR: All right, here we go.
Whoa. I've been parting my hair on the right for five years?
Whoa. Hey.
Whoa!
Hello there. You've had quite a nap.
Yeah, I guess so.
Although there haven't been any breakthroughs
in hospital food since I've been gone.
( chuckling ): I'm Dr. Tess.
I'm the facility's resident counselor.
Counselor? You must have the wrong room.
Well, Mr. Bell, the world is different
than when you left it,
and I'm just available to talk
in case you need help making the transition.
Okay. Thanks.
And...
This is Monica. She's your physical therapist.
Well, everything seems to be working fine.
Well, I'm sure it is,
but you haven't walked or run or lifted
or moved at all for five years,
and so your muscles are gonna have to be retrained.
That's where Monica comes in.
Yes, I'll be, um, physically therapizing you.
So, uh, where to begin?
I guess I'd better stretch out before I try to walk, huh?
Stretching. Well, that's good, yes.
We, uh, we should stretch some things.
Please remember that his system has had quite a shock,
so we want to bring him back slowly in every way.
So it might be best if you didn't try to catch him up
on five years all in one day, all right?
Are you ready?
Yeah.
You ready?
Yep.
TESS: Look who's here.
JESSE: Dad!
Oh!
I am so glad to see you.
STEVE: Oh!
Oh!
Oh, Steve.
Oh, Steve!
Bon, I have dreamed about you every night
for five years, I swear.
Oh...
What happened to little Jesse?
I got bigger.
You sure did. Do you even remember who I am?
Yeah, I watch videotapes of you all the time.
Do you remember when mom put icing in your face
for my birthday?
Yeah, yeah, sure, I do.
Come here. Oh...
Looks like a happy ending after all.
No, baby, you're just reading the introduction.
STEVE: Oh...
Okay, I got it all planned out.
First day I get home, I get up, and I take a run...
or maybe a walk.
Then the three of us drive up to the mountains,
and we breathe the air, take a walk around the lake--
if I can remember where the lake is.
And then it's back home for pizza from--
what's the name of the place?
Nick's pizza. That's right.
Extra cheese and pineapple.
Sounds like quite a day.
Wait till you hear day two.
Hey, you're the health care professional.
When exactly will day one be?
Well, perhaps a week, perhaps less.
It depends on your progress.
Progress? You want to see progress?
Well, here you go.
Mom went to the ladies' room,
so she'll take about forever.
You know how women are.
Right. Do you know how women are?
Not really.
Well, we'll get to that in time.
So, have you been doing plenty of guy stuff
since I've been in here?
Yeah, Matthew comes by the house.
Oh, Dad, I drew some pictures for you.
Jesse!
Do you want me to get the spoon?
Yeah, get the... spoon and the fork.
Pick up whatever you can.
Don't worry. I-I got... I got plenty of food here.
Dad, I told some of the kids at school
that I'd bring you in for show-and-tell
when you get better, you know.
Come here.
I missed you so much, Jesse.
You okay, pal?
Good.
Mom said there's some stuff that you didn't remember.
Yeah. It's, uh, coming back slowly but surely,
but I remember you.
That's what's important, right?
Right.
So, uh... now that you're awake,
um, everything's gonna be okay, right?
Oh, yeah.
So, what is it I've missed in the world?
Well, let's see. Was the Berlin Wall still there?
There's no more Berlin Wall?
Yeah, they tore it down,
and now they're selling parts of it in Bloomingdale's.
They're selling the Berlin Wall in Bloomingdale's?
Right.
They're gone.
Good.
But they're in Bosnia now.
Oh.
What's Bosnia?
Oh, and, uh, Dad,
I've got really bad news about O.J. Simpson.
I'm feeling good.
I'll be doing the lambada in no time.
I don't think they do that anymore.
No? Oh, did you see these?
Jesse made these for me.
Look. Uh, this is us at home.
This is, this is Bon.
That's Jesse and that's me.
Very nice, although you don't strike me
as the suspenders type.
I'm not. That's artistic license, I guess.
Ah. Nice piano.
We don't have a piano...
or a dog.
Well, it looks like you do now.
I'm just gonna go and get some lotion
so I can massage your neck, okay?
WOMAN ( over P.A. ): Orderly with a wheelchair to Maternity.
Orderly with a wheelchair to Maternity.
Come on, come on. Bell & Tracy Architects.
What's happened?
What is going on?
I'm sorry I took so long, but I had to... go...
Thank you, sir.
Where'd you come from?
Well, I figured you'd come here,
and my cab was faster than your cab.
( dog barking )
Where did he come from?
That must be the dog from Jesse's pictures, huh?
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
There's no car in the driveway, and I don't have a key,
but I do remember we used to keep a spare key
in a fake rock.
I can't even remember where it is.
See? It's all coming back.
A piano.
I'd say so.
Bonnie gave up on me.
No. She accepted what was and went on.
That's all you can do.
( key turning in lock )
( chattering )
Matt!
Steve!
Gosh, it's so good to see you.
MATTHEW: Mm!
You never were a good driver.
Bon, things sure do look different.
I wasn't expecting to see you here.
I live here.
Steve, we need to talk.
Well, talk. We'll talk.
We've got plenty of time to talk.
What's the matter?
The doctors said you would never wake up.
The doctors were wrong. I'm back!
That's the problem.
What are you saying?
We're not married anymore.
BONNIE: I got a divorce last year.
You divorced me?
When I was in a coma? How can you do that?
Since I had your power of attorney,
the court appointed me to represent you.
STEVE: Well, you didn't do a very good job.
It's not Matthew's fault.
Steve, I waited for four years.
The doctors said that you would never wake up.
I... I had to get on with my life.
Get on with your life?
I may have forgotten a few things,
but I clearly remember a vow you made
to be with me in sickness and in health
till death do us part.
Now, I'm not dead.
As far as I'm concerned, you're still my wife.
No. She's not.
What the hell is going on here?
Just tell him! I can't stand this anymore!
We're engaged, Steve.
We're getting married in three weeks.
You stole my wife?
That is not what happened.
I took care of her after you were gone,
and we came together because we both
cared about you.
Well, excuse me for not saying thank you.
Steve...
Does Jesse know about this?
No. I haven't told him yet.
This is unbelievable!
How could you do this to me?! You were my best friend!
I still am your best friend.
Like hell you are.
You stole my wife.
You probably ran my business into the ground!
I can't even afford an ad in the Yellow Pages!
There is no business.
What?
We sold it to pay your medical bills.
You sold my business?
Our business.
And we had no choice.
No choice.
Bon's right.
( slamming )
No one calls her Bon but me.
Steve, look, I know this is difficult.
Difficult? The only difficulty I have
is the minute I turn my back, you stole my family!
Turn your back? You were in a coma!
Yeah, and completely unable to defend what was mine!
It wasn't like you and Bon weren't already having problems.
Oh, my God.
BONNIE: Oh, my... Matthew, are you all right?
Oh, my God...
Steven, you can't just go around whacking people like that.
Yeah. You definitely are back, aren't you?
Get some ice for that eye.
Honey, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
MATTHEW: Yeah, yeah.
Where are my car keys? Or did you steal my car, too?
Your keys to your car are still on the key rack.
( door slamming )
I can't believe this. This is how this all started.
What do you mean?
Thanks, Monica.
Five years ago,
Steve was gonna take that big boat of a car of his
to get some ice cream.
BONNIE: Steve went to get his keys,
but he couldn't find them.
So, he took my little car instead.
The police told me he would have been okay
if he had been driving his own car,
but mine just crumpled like an empty soda can,
and all because he couldn't find a set of keys.
Life is very cruel.
( car engine starts )
Would you excuse me?
I like this place much better now.
Tess, it's all my fault.
Steve was in a coma because of me.
He lost five years of his life because of one thing that I did.
Please don't go overreacting on me.
I'm not overreacting.
It couldn't be clearer.
Oh, Tess, what have I done?
Oh, don't worry. It's gonna work out all right.
Don't worry.
Whew.
( sighs )
I had to get out of there.
Then I realized, "Where am I supposed to go?"
I've got no wife... no house,
no business, no best friend.
Steve, there's something you need to know.
I know, I know. Keep stretching.
No, it's not that.
I know this will be hard for you to believe,
but I'm an angel.
Right. I got the Easter bunny in the backseat.
It's true.
Prove it. Make the windshield wipers go on.
We're not fairies. We don't grant wishes.
But it's always good to check your wipers.
Give me a million dollars.
You're not listening. This is not about proof.
It's about the truth.
Five years ago, I was sent by God
to rescue your son from the roof.
I don't believe this.
Do you remember Jesse talking about the woman who caught him?
Yeah.
The lady in the white hat?
How did you know about that?
You?
Yes.
I did something else that day as well.
I lifted up your keys
to look at a little angel on the chain, and...
that was why you couldn't find them,
and that's why you were in the wrong car that day.
Because of you?
I shouldn't have done it, but I did.
If there's something we should know,
it's how delicate life is
and that little things cause big things.
This is your fault?
It wasn't supposed to happen?
I'm sorry.
I don't know why this has happened to you, Steven,
but God does, and...
No, Steve, wait.
( door slamming )
Why, so you can put me in another coma?
I'm so sorry.
Let's go past the meaninglessness of apologies
and get straight to a solution.
You give me back my wife, my son and my business,
we'll call the whole thing even.
I can't do that.
Sure, windshield wipers you can do.
I'm sorry. Look, I know you're upset.
You're damn right I am!
You listen to me.
You got me into this,
and you're gonna find a way to get me out,
and until you do,
you and your God can just stay the hell away from me.
Get out of my car.
Now you keep up with your walking.
If I find out that you haven't,
Dr. Tess is gonna come and run you ragged.
Don't make me put on my Air Jordans now.
TESS: Baby?
The doctor's in.
I haven't seen you this down
since the time the cappuccino machine broke.
That was a joke, by the way.
I want off this case.
What?
Send me back to the choir.
Now, just hold on.
I was selfish, curious, undisciplined.
I took those keys, and three lives were ruined.
How could I do that?
That was five years ago,
and you've learned a lot since then.
So has Steve.
( sighs )
Oh, please, Tess, just fire me.
Oh, now you stop this right now, Miss Wings.
This is where you're supposed to be, trust me.
I do trust you.
It's myself I don't trust.
I don't know what I'm doing
and I don't know what to do about it.
I've made a mess that I can't clean up.
So you're just gonna... walk off the case
without permission, huh?
Yes.
All right.
Hi. How are ya?
Fine.
Baby, this is somebody else's department.
Is this a crisis?
It is now.
Monica, is it?
Yes.
I'm Al, Crisis Intervention.
How are you, Tess?
Hello, Al.
You're an angel?
I'd like to think of myself as an angel's angel, yeah.
She does, too.
I'm with Internal Affairs.
I work solo, angel to angel, exclusively.
Don't do people. They're too human.
I'm confused.
Of course you are. That's why I'm here.
We need to have a little powwow.
Tess, darling, you don't mind if I use your office
Yes, I do.
Always the kidder. ( chuckles )
Baby...
this is out of my hands now.
But I will be praying for you.
Sit, sit.
So, you messed up, huh?
Yes.
Oh. And you're feeling lost
because you think angels aren't here to mess up, right?
Right.
