The Grieving

Hmm?

[slap of barefoot running footsteps]

Aah!

Good news, I got the catalogs.

Bad news, I'm running late.

Don't stress. You'll get wrinkles.

I'm on the opposite side of the city, Michael.

I'm freaking out.

Wrinkles are the least of my concerns.

I can't be the last one to arrive.

Okay, okay, okay.

Well, if you're freaking out,

then now's maybe not the best time to tell you

we're still moving some of the pieces.

-What? - It's fine, it's fine.

It's all under control. You know me, I just--

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Sorry. Um, hi.

Um, what are you doing?

Hanging the paintings, like you told me to.

Except it's upside down.

They're both upside down.

Are they?

What is Brown teaching you art majors these days,

besides how to be easily offended?

Take them down and fix them, yes?

- Because I thought-- -No, don't-- don't.

Don't think, just obey.

Mia?

You got this?

Haul your bougie ass over here before I murder the intern.

Thank you.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, sweetheart.

How's the event going?

It actually hasn't started yet.

Um, how are you?

Good, I guess.

Ran a few errands today,

pulled a few weeds in the garden.

Dad, Dad, I'm sorry.

I have to be at the gallery in 30 minutes,

and I'm already running late.

I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

Sure thing.

Good luck, from your Mum and me.

I'm sure it'll be a hit.

Thanks, Dad.

I'll call tomorrow, all right?

Sure thing.

-Dad? - Yeah?

I love you.

I love you too, sweetheart.

Bye.

She's so much like you.

Your job is actually...

It's the darker meaning I saw in....

[conversation trails off into whispers]

Hi. Oh, thank you so much.

Thanks.

Okay, I'll see you around.

Mia? Mia?

Look who just walked in the room.

Greta Lamarr.

I can't believe it.

She never responded to our invite.

She must have got tired of my million stalkerish emails.

How do I look?

Like you're ready to slay dragons.

Start with the one that just walked in the room.

You've got this, Khaleesi.

You have to watch the show.

-That's not what she does. -Who has the time?

-Just go, go, go. -Okay.

Mm!

[mellow electronic music playing]

Now, this piece is called "The Other Side of Loss."

The diary entries were found alongside the painting

-in Ford's study. -

They're quite erratic, but they seem to be describing

a radical change of influence right after his wife's death.

Um, this collection was the result of such influence,

and this painting here is the artist's final work.

The dark figure can represent the dead,

looking at us from the other side,

or the living, who are left behind.

And you, Miss Davis, what do you think it represents?

Um...

well, in the diary, Ford talks about

how he was haunted by this image.

It feels as though there might have been some unresolved issue

with the one he loved and lost.

Something so strong that...

if you let it, it can take over your life.

[mellow electronic music playing again]

Congratulations.

This was a very interesting collection.

One of the best I've seen in years.

I might even be persuaded to promote it.

Oh, we'd love the chance to persuade you over lunch.

Set it up.

Ciao.

- -Mm-hmm.

Shit.

Hi, Dad.

Um, you're probably still asleep,

but I wanted to share the good news.

The show went really, really well.

Better than I could have asked for.

The big-time art dealer I told you about came.

She loved the collection, and wants to promote it.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know.

Talk tomorrow.

Love you.

Mia.

- Mia! -

Hello?

Mia? Mia Davis?

Yes.

Hi, this is Leonardo.

I am a friend of your father.

I'm sorry for delivering this news over the phone, but...

What happened?

Your father passed away a few hours ago.

The doctor said he suffered an aneurysm.

I'm really sorry for your loss, Mia.

Let me know when you get here, so I can pick you up...

[eerie distorted music drones over Leonardo speaking]

[eerie, static-filled music builds]

[man speaking quietly in Italian]

Miss Davis.

Prego.

Let me offer you our deepest condolences.

Thank you.

According to your wishes, your father was cremated.

We have notified the consulate about the cremation,

but for legal reasons,

they require we submit the final destination

of the ashes.

Are you planning to bring them back to the United States?

No, I'd like to bury them on my family property
