12. Scene Nine: Finally Free (12:00)
- Hypnotist -
You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light. Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime. As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness, remembering all you have learned. When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and refreshed
Open your eyes, Nicholas
- Miracle -
Friday evening
The blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful man
Sole survivor
No witness to the crime
I must act fast to cover up
I think that there`s still time
He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note
They'll buy into the words that I wrote
This feeling
Inside me
Finally found my love
I've finally broke free
No longer
Torn in two
I'd take my own life before losing you
- Victoria -
Feeling good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian
Said we'd get together soon
He's always had my heart
He needs to know
I'll break free of the Miracle
It's time for him to go
This feeling
Inside me
Finally found my love
I've finally broke free
No longer
Torn in two
He'd kill his brother if he only knew
Their love renewed
They'd rendezvous
In a pathway out of view
They thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night
- Hypnotist -
Open your eyes, Victoria
- Sleeper -
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We fade away
As their bodies lie still
And the ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All their fears disappear
It all becomes clear
A blinding light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for a new
Familiar voice comes shining through
- Nicholas -
This feeling
Inside me
Finally found my life
I'm finally free
No longer
Torn in two
I learned about my life by living through you
This feeling
Inside me
Finally found my life
I'm finally free
No longer
Torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you
We'll meet again my friend
Someday soon
- CNN report -
"... their lead story
All anticipating the outcome of the man considered to be a member of American nobility
And as you can imagine, as the skies have grown darker
Here over Washington
The mood has grown darker as well and people here are
Beginning to resign themselves to the possibility that they are
Witnessing yet another tragedy in a long string of misfortunes
Reaction from everywhere, from Washington and certainly
From around the world has guess..."

"AAAH!"
