نخستین 101 خط.
I've got a good feeling about this next
round of treatment.
Me too.
Me too, my love.
You're a fighter bean.
Fighter bean.
Exactly. Always.
Let's see what the doctor says.
I got your surfboard out of storage.
You're silly, man.
No. Costa Rica's only a plane ride away.
Or Bali.
I can't bear to think
that all our adventures might have been our last.
Hey
On the bright side, when I die, you can have all my crap.
Your beautiful crap.
I prefer the term treasures.
I've been saving them all just for you.
So that's why you won't clean out those closets?
I always thought it was laziness.
You are going to need broken mops
and used surf wax to remember me by.
You'll see.
I'm just gonna need this.
I'll get that.
So, you're saying there's nothing we can do?
Ben, we can keep fighting,
but you can only push the human body so far.
Sometimes it knows when it's time to go.
But I'm not ready.
Okay. Let's look at other options.
There's alternative therapies. Experimental treatments.
No, no. This is bullshit.
I just want-
The magic pill?
Yeah. Yeah.
I can't see her suffering anymore. This isn't life.
It's just existing.
I get it. I do.
When my wife died, it broke my heart.
But we fought.
We fought to the bitter end.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can go through another
round of treatment again.
I don't wanna lose you.
What if I told you you don't have to?
I kept this from you
because I had hoped I would never need her,
but I have a clone.
How could you keep this from me?
And where'd you get the money?
With my parents dying so young,
I always feared my genetics might turn on me one day too.
And so I was researching about clones
and how advanced the technology is now.
And I had my inheritance, so I figured, why not?
So when you're gone, there'll be a second you?
Yes. But even better.
She won't be sick.
She'll have the energy to get back in the water,
to travel..
and to love you in the way that you deserve.
This is...
I don't know what to say.
That you're happy.
I'll feel better knowing
that there is someone here to take care of you.
Luna. Luna. Baby.
Baby
Hey
How are you feeling?
I feel better today
Do you want something to eat?
I got you.
I don't understand.
She's so sick, but it seems like she's rallying.
Sometimes we wanna fight
But you said she was done.
She is.
She's shutting down.
Well, Ben, perhaps her body is but her mind isn't.
It seems clear to me.
If she's finding the strength to keep going
she could turn a corner.
You really think so?
I do. Her tests show slow but steady improvement
but we can't get ahead of ourselves.
This could take months even years,
but Ben isn't this a good thing?
Gives you a glimmer of hope.
So, I was thinking maybe we could plant that
lemon tree we always wanted.
You love lemons.
Yeah.
Exactly. It's gonna be beautiful.
You'll see.
I'm sorry B.
I love you.
Luna?
