On December 31st, 2014,
a taxi cab travel through San Francisco.
From Chinatown to Marin.
The car carried a single passenger.
A woman.
Her birth name:
Adaline Bowman.
Current alias Jennifer Larson.
This is the first... and last
chapter of her story.
Hum, sorry, you just got to be... quiet.
My dad... he's still sleeping. He works nights.
Come on in.
I finished the color samps and the digital printing last night.
I pulled some line art from the internet
and printed the imperfections
See that's... kinda my secret.
The dust marks and discoloration...
No one's gonna question a detail in a million years.
So, why 29? I mean...
If I were you, I'd shave a couple of years off.
You could definitely get away with it.
You're very kind, Tony
Nice work.
It's a pleasure to be doing business with you. And if any of your friends...
- Why are you doing this? - Come again?
You're a smart kid. Forgery is a felony.
$250 fine. Six years in jail.
Shiit... You-You're a cop?
No, I'm about as far from law enforcement as you can get.
I just hate to see wasted potential, Jeff.
Tony... It's Tony.
The autograph baseballs in your bedroom.
Made out to Jeff. Don't get sloppy.
It's the little things that trip you up.
Honey, I'm home.
Reese?
Hi.
There we go.
You're gonna love the new farm house.
Clean air.
Acres and acres of woods and mountain stream.
You'll feel like a puppy again.
Did you know that your great great grandmother...
was born just a few towns over?
So was mine. Not at the same time, of course.
Oh... I gotta go to work.
Civic archives, please.
It might take a while, Market is jammed.
OK then please take California to Hyde.
There's construction on Hyde.
Why don't you stay on this. Take this to Gough.
Gough to Bush, Bush to Polk, Polk to Grove and then...
just leave me on the corner of Market
You want my job?
You never know.
- Morning, Jenny. - Morning. - Morning.
- Hi Ken. - We thought you might not be coming in today.
Being New Year's eve and all.
Well, it's still a wednesday.
The fun doesn't start till tonight anyway.
Well, are you up for a little excitement right now?
- Sure, what is it? - Your favourite...
The newsreel archives. It's finally being digitized.
We need a little help getting it ready to be shifted.
I'd love to.

«1906 NEWS.BY.YEAR EDISON'S NEWSREEL»
"A TRIP DOWN MARKET STREET SAN FRANCISCO CA 1906"
Adaline Marie Bowman was born
at 12:01 AM January 1st 1908
at Children's Hospital, San Francisco.
The only child of Fay and Milton Bowman.
On June 16th 1929,
just as Adaline Bowman and her mother
stopped to admire the expense with three years, hence
construction would be finish on the Golden Gate Bridge,
A young engineer displayed uncommon gallantry.
87 days later,
Adaline married Clarence James Prescott
at Old St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco.
Three years later,
Adaline gave birth to a baby girl.
They named her Flemming, after Adaline's paternal grandmother.
On February 17th 1937,
Eight workers and two engineers lost their lives
when a section of scaffolding felt through a safety net,
during construction of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Among the deceased
was Adaline's husband.
Ten months after her husband's death
Adaline was driving north to her parents beach cottage,
where 5 year old Flemming was waiting up for her,
when something highly unusual occurred.
Something... almost magical.
Snow fell in Sonoma County California.
The emerge in the frigid water
caused Adaline's body
to go to an anoxic reflex,
instantly stopping her breathing
and slowing her heartbeat.
Within two minutes
Adaline Bowman's core temperature
had dropped to 87 Fº [30º C] degrees.
Her heart stopped beating.
At 8:25,
a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle
discharging half a billion volts of electricity
and producing 60 000 amperes of current.
It's effect was three-fault.
First: the charge defribillated Adaline Bowman's heart.
Second:
She was jilted of her anoxic state
causing her to draw her first breath in two minutes.
Third:
Based on Bon Layman's principle of electron compression
and dioxide nucleic acid,
which will be discovered in the year 2035,
Adaline Bowman were, henceforth,
to be immune to the ravages of time.
She will never age another day.
As the years passed,
Adaline credited her unchanging appearance to a combination of a healthy diet,
exercise, heredity and good luck.
Adaline?
Miriam, hello.
Oh, my God! You haven't changed a bit.
Oh, that's very kind of you to say...
Flemming? You're all grown up...
That's what I keep telling my mom, but she doesn't believe me.
I'm sorry, we really must leave.
But you-you look like sisters.
You better stop or it'll go straight to my head.
How is that possible?
A new face-cream from... Paris!
Made from the royal jelly of the queen... oui?
OK, darling... Bye bye now. Great seeing you.
Action was required just weeks later, when,
living a quiet suburban existence,
Adaline was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction.
Ma'am, it says here you were born on January 1st 1908.
- That's right - That would make you... 45 years old?
Yes.
Ma'am, I'm gonna hold on to this. You come by the station house to pick it up.
Please bring your birth certificate.
I'd be happy to, officer. Is tomorrow morning alright?
Sure.
Soon after, Adaline moved back to San Francisco
and took a clerical job at the School of Medicine.
There, she avail herself of every opportunity
to research her condition.
After a year of intense study,
Adaline Bowman was forced to confront the fact
that there was absolutely no scientific explanation for her condition.
"Are you a member of the communist party?
Or have you ever been a member of the communist party?"
Adaline?
Oh, I'm sorry. You have the wrong person.
We're from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Miss Bowman.
We'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind.
Why? I've done nothing wrong.
I'm a good American. How dare you bother me at my place of employment.
Couldn't be helped, ma'am. We have no record of your residence.
This way, please.
Nothing to worry about, Miss Bowman. We're just going to run a few tests on you.
If anyone contacts you, tell them that I... went to Europe on vacation.
That I never came back.
The next time we see each other, I'll have a new identity.
I'll always be your mother.
You'll just have to introduce me as your friend.
Momma, no...
It has to be this way.
Here.
To insure the freedom and safety of herself and her daughter,
Adaline vow to keep moving.
Changing her name, residence and appearance every decade
and never to speak a word of her fate
to another living soul.
In seven weeks when Jennifer Larson disappears forever
and Susan Fleischer takes up residence in a remote farm house in Ashton, Oregon,
Adaline Bowman,
aside one moment of weakness, will have kept her vow for the past 60 years.
- Hello, Regan. - "Amanda, you're not gonna stand up on me are you?"
You asked me that last year. Why don't you trust me?
Oh, I just can't believe you haven't got a better offer.
"Impossible." I'll pick you up at 8?"
Actually, that's the other reason I called.
The Grand Hotel of Nob Hill is sending a car for me.
- Look at you! - "Have you ever been there for New Year's?"
Only once. Ages ago.
I guess it's pretty lavish.
Well, I'd better get to it. I'll see you soon.
"Bye Regan."
Are you hungry?
No?
Oh, you just want to come out with me tonight, don't you?
Sorry, but it's a girls night.
- If you don't remove your hands from my knees....! - Both my hands are on the table, Adaline. - Allyson!
- Happy New Year. - Oh, hey, Amanda!
- That was you clapping, wasn't it? - How did you guess?
- Who can matters? - Oh, we're the last two.
Ah, take, grab glass.
- Tell me, what did I miss? - Ah, not much, just some happy chatter.
No matter how old you get, New Year's eve still feels like the one night where anything's possible.
- What's your resolution? - Same as always.
True love. What about you?
To live this year as though it were my last.
Ah, you never know... It could be, at our age...
So hell, ya! Let's live.
- Beware, bachelor at 3 o'clock getting a starve up. - Hmm! What's he like?
Brown hair, icy blue, smithereens...
Coming in with you. You always come hit on by babies.
Sschh... He's here.
- Good evening, ladies. - Welcome to the cuckoo tend.
I know, we don't look a day over 28. You're too kind.
- What's your name? - Dale Davenport.
- Dale's a painter. - Really? - Yeah
A starving artist, though, because he doesn't accept his family's help.
- I-I'm sorry... Have we met? - No, no, no.
Just your Cartier wrist watch. One of the very first.
I'm assuming it was given to you by a well to do grandfather.
A... A great grandfather. But how did you know that I paint?
- Your hands are covered with paint. - Ah!...
That one was easy.
Well, have a sit. We're gonna buy you a drink.
Ah... Sure.
- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year! - Thank you.
"Oh, I've got to do the countdown now."
6...5...4...
3...2...1...
HAAPPY NEW YEEAAR!
Hello. Thank you, sweetheart.
No, no. You don't have to sing. No, please, please, don't sing.
I already had enough birthdays.
Oh, where are you?
You didn't go out at all?
Well, I don't blame you.
Are we still on for tomorrow? Great.
Alright, get some sleep. I love you.
Goodnight.
Whoever he is, I hope he's got one hell of an excuse.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scary you.
It's just... isn't there some sort of tradition
if you're alone on New Year's eve that you're supposed to kiss a stranger?
Damn it. You've heard it before.
Just once from a young Bing Crosby...
...type.
Happy New Year.
- I am too old for this. - Oh, no don't. Don't disappear.
I'll call you tomorrow and make you tell me everything I missed.
- I love you. - Bye, dear.
- Argh! - Oh.
Oh, well... That'll teach me not to put my hand where it doesn't belong.
Something tells me it won't.
You know... That was a risky move.
- What was? - Not introducing yourself before you leave.
I am a dare devil.
I'm Ellis. Pleasure to meet you.
- Like the Island? - No man is.
- I'm Jenny. - Like the poem?
No?.. Hum...
"Sam weary Sam, sad said the health of other miss me..."
Sam growing old but had...
Jenny kissed me.
- Who wrote that? - Oh... one of the romantics, I think.
Ah, you're not sure...
Actually, I am... But I don't want to come across like I know it all.
Too bad... I adore "know-it-alls".
So... where are you off to?
Someplace with better food. My appartment.
Yourself?
Back to the party. I just wanted to spend 27 floors with you.
- That was a risky move. - What?
Leaving your date upstairs. I hope it was worth it.
- What are you talking about? - Oh, come on...
A beautiful woman in blue.
Does her name happen to end in "Kova"?
No. Her name is Agnes Bogz.
Her uncle's the chef. I let her know you liked his food.
And she's not my date.
- Taxi, ma'am? - Yes, please. Thank you.
- Goodnight. - Oh...
I'll just wait with you.
So you can find out where I live?
It does make it a lot easier to send flowers.
OK. Thank you, but I'll manage.
Goodbye. It's been fun meeting you.
Thank you.
- Wait! - Oh.
There you go again, putting your hand in places it doesn't belong.
How do we get in touch?
Happy New Year, Ellis. Thank you so much.
- Am I late? - No more than usual.
- Happy birthday, mamma. - Thank you, darling.
I'm so happy to see you.
You know you don't have to still get me cards.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
- So when are you moving back up? - Third week in February.
- Right on schedule - Of course
I see you already forgot our little talk about sodium.
No, I'm simply choosing to ignore it.
Actually, hum...
I'm thinking of moving myself.
- But you love where you live. - I do.
But you know... there's just too many stairs.
Last week Cae Alfonso fell and she broke her hip.
The doctor said she might never leave the hospital.
And then, very next day Molly Andrews called me
and she told me about this wonderful retirement community and...
She moved in last spring. She said she'd never been happier her whole life.
What's the matter?
I only bought it in Oregon so I could be close to you.
So you could come up for long visits.
Move in with me, eventually.
We haven't lived together since I was in high-school
Yeah but... you're not getting any younger.
What if you moved to Arizona and something happened to you?
What if you got sick?
Then I would hope that you'd come and take care of me.
What if I'm too late?
No, no. We cannot do this.
Not on your birthday. It's a holiday.
- I nearly fell off from my seat. - What are you two clerking about
Major news.
Mr. Jones is donating 50.000$ worth of first edition classics to this library.
What books, do you know?
We're gonna find out real soon because his office called to say
that he'll be here to deliver them himself.
- Hi, I'm Ellis (-"Oh, no!") - Oh, good. Welcome... Mr. Jones - Thank you.
In behalf of the Saint Francisco Parentage Society,
I'd like to express our sincere gratitude
for your most generous gift.
I left them in shipping and receiving but i'm sure they'll be right up.
If you don't mind, we'd like to take a photograph with you donating.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.
Can you give me one second, though?
Hey. It's me. The "know-it-all".
What are you doing here?
I got something for you, too.
Some flowers.
Daisy Miller by Henry James.
Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.
White Oleander, Janet Fitch.
Very clever.
- How did you know I work here? - I just tried at the board.
Oh... You could have mention that in the elevator.
If we'd met in a taller building, I'd have time to cover that.
I don't know about you but... I'm ready for some donating.
- Great. I'll be here. - No way.
I'd like you to accept the books in behalf of the library.
- Oh, no, no, no. I can't do that. - Yes, you can.
- No, No. I don't want my photo taken. - Don't worry, you look stunning.
It's not about vanity. I just don't like people taking my photograph.
Suit yourself. If you don't accept them, I won't donate them.
- You wouldn't do that. - I will. I'll even have a book burning!
I just don't like have my photo taken, Ellis.
OK, fine, fine. Here's an alternative:
Let me take you out tomorrow.
OK, that's impossible.
Alright. Well, I'll just pack up the books then... It's fine. Ya.
Where?
Someplace you've never been.
Well, if it's in this city, that's... unlikely.
Try me.
You can leave your boots at the front when you're done.
- I'll be right outside. - We will.
Thank you, Tom.
Alright. I give up.
In the first year of the gold rush, about 60.000 people came to San Francisco by ship.
And a lot of them high tailed it straight into the hills, leaving their boats behind.
Hundreds of boats were left on shore.
Downtown San Francisco was built right on top of it.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Now... City services found this
when they were digging for utility line.
Oh, my God...
Isn't it something?
- Is that...? - Yeah! That's a boat.
Oh, wow!
This is incredible.
So, we had to digging stopped immediately, of course.
We want this made available to the public.
We?
San Francisco Historical Preservation Society
Oh... Let me guess. You're on the board.
Yeah, well... They let anyone on the board these days.
So, how did you come by your fortune, anyway? Inheritance?
Luck.
I was a math major in college, and, in my spare time,
I developed an algorithm for analyzing climate data.
But my roommate figured out that it could also be used for economic forecasts.
Se he started a company in our dorm room.
Sold it three years later and then with his half he retired to Fiji.
And with my half I'm... I'm doing this.
Your job is scaring away money.
Yes, that's right. But if you wanna make a real difference in this world it's a...
It's a lot harder than it seems.
What about you, Jenny?
I... own a dog...
OK.
I should be getting back.
But we're having lunch.
It's too late, Ellis.
I only got an hour.
OK.
Let me at least walk you back.
Thank you for all of this.
Just... You should know I'm moving.
OK. I have an idea.
I'll tell you a joke.
If you laugh you have to go out with me one more time before you move away.
I mean, if you don't laugh...
I'll know we're incompatible and I gladly give up.
That must be one hell of a joke.
It's the funniest in human history.
But, it's subtle, sophisticated.
So you probably won't even get it.
Yeah, probably not.
- You like baseball? - Yeah. I love it..
Good. So...
One day at Fenway Park...
Ted Williams... You know who he was?
Oh, come on... The Thumper? Career batting average of 3.44, right?
What!?.. Yeah... that Ted Williams.
Anyway, so... He's hanging around Fenway...
And this horse walks up and says:
- "I wanna play for the Sox" - Who, an actual horse?
An actual horse. So Ted's like...
"OK, what can you do?" And the horse says:
"I can hit just like you, only a whole lot better."
So, he picks up a bat with his teeth,
and Ted's like "OK" and he throws him a few.
And sure enough... Gooon, gooon...
Into the bleachers.
So Ted's like "wow!".
"What else can you do?" And the horse says
"Well, I can play shortstop."
So Ted hits him a few ground balls.
- And sure enough he's.. - He's a vacuum cleaner.
So, Ted's like... "Wow, can you pitch?"
And the horse just looks at him and says:
"Pitch? Whoever heard of a horse pitching?"
Ya!
Yes! Ladies and gentlemen.
The lady has been conquered.
That's the worst joke I've ever heard in my entire life
- Thank you. - It wasn't a compliment.
Dinner? Tuesday? My place. 303 Eighteen Street.
8 o'clock.
Fine
- Good Morning, Ms. Larson. Good to see you again. - Good Morning.
So, what can we do for you today?
I'd like to add another signee to my account.
- May I ask the reason? - I'll be traveling for a while.
Traveling... OK.
I'll get the paper work I'll be right back
All of this companies rate very highly with us.
What's this? The Haloid Photographic Company.
They've been around 50 years. They make photo paper and equipment.
They're developing something called Electrophotography.
It can revolutionize the business, but you won't see any immediate returns.
- It could be a few years away. - That's alright.
I'd hate to see you tie up your money.
I'm patient.
What do you know... They’ve changed their name.
They're now called...
What the heck... It starts with an "x".
It's Greek. It's pronounced "Xerox"
Xerox...
So... We can start with the signature card.
- What is the name of the co-signer? - Susan Fleischer.
Susan Fle...
F-l-e
"I" as...
Now, I've made you some salmon.
This no-eating non-sense just won't do if you gonna be a proper farm dog.
I want you to eat every last bite. Do understand me?
Oh... There we go.
Hello?
Ellis?
- Am I interrupting? - Hey!
- I was afraid you got cold feet. - No, no. Just trouble getting a cab.
- Hi - Hi
- Can I take you coat? - OK.
- You’re place it's a... - ...unfinished?
Yes, hum... I notice that part as that of an artistic choice.
No. I have to paint and plaster and do all the wiring stuff.
But I'm doing it all myself, so...
It's gonna take a little while.
I think your food is... burning.
Make yourself comfortable.
Sit down, relax.
OK.
What is it? That you're cooking.
Well... It's a delicacy that to be honest is not for everyone
So... I hope you like it.
- Are you ready? - Would you like a drum-mo?
Voilá!
It was between this and stuffed quail.
Please don't tell me you're disappointed.
- I-I'm truly overjoyed. - Yes!
- Dig in. - OK
Well?
It's perfect, just the music is painful.
- You don't like jazz? - No, I love jazz. This is something else.
My mom grew up in Maine. She's a really new englander
Sweet but tough as nails.
My dad, on the other hand.
Has his head at the stars. Literally.
He's an astronomer. Just retired form Stanford.
His claim to fame is that he discovered an unusual comet.
Unusual in what way?
Well, It has a mathematical proven perigee.
So, based on his calculations, it would pass by Earth in the winter 1981.
- Did it? - No
God! It did not!
But that didn't stop us from looking for it every year.
It was a kind of a ritual we had when I was growing up.
My dad is still looking.
One more glass of wine and I may see it.
Oh, no, no. Thank you. Please.
Ah, come on. You know they have a saying in Italy...
"Anni, amori e bicchieri di vino, nun si contano mai."
Years... lovers...
wine cups?
Years, lovers and glasses of wine,
these are things that should never be counted.
You have no idea.
I like your view.
Thank you.
I like the way you read.
What?
The first time I saw you coming out of the board meeting,
you were reading.
Your hair was pulled back and you were wearing a blue dress.
It was a book in braille. I slow down and watched.
How long did you watch for?
Long enough to realize you weren't blind.
And then I had to meet you.
I didn't know when or how, but I... I knew I would.
I think I...
I think I remember that day.
Yes-ah... It was a book in norwegian and...
because of all the umlauts over the vowels it made it nearly impossible to comprehend.
- You're kidding. - Yes.
- Oh, you were kidding? - Yes, of course I am.
It was braille for beginners.
Nursery rhymes or something.
You can tell me everything you want. Now, believe it.
I know almost nothing about you.
It's better this way.
No. It's not.
Tell me something I can hold on to forever and never let go.
Let go?
Hi.
Good morning.
OK. Move your arm. Some of us work for a living.
OK, I get it. You're holding me hostage.
Will you ever come back?
Are you sure there's no one there who speaks English? I mean, Spanish?
No, no, no. We want it all.
- Eu quero-te comprar... - I have to go.
Hold on. Hold on. Um momento, por favor.
Just give me a second, will you? I'm trying to deal with this in portuguese.
I can't.
- What are you trying to say? - The reinforce trust-funds to buy ten thousand acres.
Hum! Well, you're not even close.
- Here. - Thank you.
Gostaríamos de comprar cinco mil acres. Está bom? Óptimo. O cheque está no correio.
Muito obrigada, senhor.
- I'm late for work. - Wait. That's it?
Let go.
It's a dollar fifty, ma'am.
Ma'am?
Keep driving please.
You got it.
Reese? Reese?
Baby. You OK?
You OK, baby?
His urean creatinine levels are way too high,
which means his kidneys are failing
and toxins are building up and his body can't handle it.
Is he in pain?
It's difficult to say.
If you were me what would you do?
I'd be thinking about...
what a wonderful life he's had.
How lucky you are to have found each other.
May I have a moment alone with him, please?
Of course.
"Hey, Jenny. This is Ellis. I tried you a couple of times."
"Hope you got my messages Call me back."
Jenny.
- What are you doing here? - Well, I tried to call but...
How did you get my address?
Hum... the library.
Come on, don't be upset. I didn't know what else to do.
My dog. I had to...
- Had to put him down. - Oh, no. I'm so sorry to hear that.
You should have waited for me to contact you.
-Jenny, I'm s... - There's a reason I don't give out my address.
I'm sorry, honestly.
This not going to work. I'm moving.
You serious?
Hi. For you.
Barbara hired land before she moved to Florida.
She got rid of all of her books.
I can no sooner get rid of this book than I can...
It looks like I'm not the only one getting nostalgic.
You have had such a wonderful life.
Yeah, I like to think so.
I just which you... You know, that you could have been there for more of it.
So do I.
Remember that?
1954, I was a junior in College.
That's the last photo I have of you.
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
That's true.
What is it? What's wrong?
I'm just tired of running.
Of lying to good people.
Then stop.
Nobody's chasing you anymore.
Anyone who was ever suspicious is long dead
You don't have to be alone forever.
Don't you miss having someone to love?
It's been such a long time.
It's not the same when there's no future.
What are you talking about? You got nothing but future.
I mean a future together. Growing old together.
Without that, love is a...
it's just heartbreak.
It's the same for everybody.
How many times has my heart been broken?
Too many.
If I had your looks and your energy,
I'd fall in love tomorrow.
I really would.
I did meet someone.
- What? - No, I... On New Years eve.
- He jumped on my elevator. - Why didn't you tell me?
Because I knew you'd look at me like that.
Don't get too excited. I...
I told him to leave me alone.
I was horrible. Cruel.
Tell him you're sorry. Tell him you made a mistake.
I can't. I'm leaving.
You're moving to Oregon, not Timbuktu.
Come on. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for me.
Please.
- Hello. - Can I help you?
Hum... I'm here to see Ellis Jones. He's not expecting me.
Oh. Let's see what we can do about that.
And you are?
Incredibly sorry.
Mr. Jones, you got a guest down here.
I bet you got a name.
- Jennifer Larson. - OK.
Please tell him I understand.
If he doesn't want to see me. I'm just here to say I'm sorry.
That my... My life has been unbelievable.
since longer than he can imagine.
And I just... I was emotional the other day.
Now I realize how incredibly kind to me he's been and...
I-i just been too stupid to accept that.
I know better now and and..
That's why I wanna tell him how sincerely sorry I am.
- OK. - And ask if he could come downstairs maybe...
Let me making up to him by taking him out tonight.
Please.
Hum... Is a Jennifer Larson...?
Says she understands if you don’t...
Oh, you heard that.
OK, good.
He wants to know where you're taking him.
Someplace he's never been before.
- Hello? - Hey, Jenny.
Alright, you don't actually think is my first chop-chop date.
Oh, be quiet. There's more here than meets the eye.
This used to be one of those popular picture houses in the city.
- A movie theater? - Yes.
In the thirties, a woman named Mary Elizabeth Woods
red about a chemical magnat who would create a drive-in theater
- Hum hum - In Camden, New Jersey.
And so naturally, she needed one of her own, here in San Francisco.
Everyone thought she was crazy as a loon, which she was.
She would sleep with anyone who wasn't her husband.
And she used to put all this airs like she's better than anyone else.
Anyway...
Because of local ordinances, she couldn't have an open-air theater.
So she brought all the cars in here,
That's a spring right there.
It was spectacular... I imagine.
Are you ready for the best part?
- Sure - OK. Look up.
She had photoluminescent filaments installed.
They took the time to create the constellations.
Isn't it beautiful?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Come on.
Cheers.
The great paradox of all this is that...
The better our engines get the further we can see.
But now I see the future. It's in the past.
The event's line has not even reach us yet.
I don't think I'll ever understand why so few people care about history.
The future has its charms too.
When can talk about ours.
- Ellis... - Not the distant future...
-I'm talking about this weekend. - What do you have in mind?
My parents are having a party to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary.
It's just a couple of hours from here.
Come with me.
OK.
Can I drive?
You know you rarely see a Saab at the Daytona 500.
There's a reason for that
You might wanna consider an occasional tap on that square pedal by your foot.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Gaw...wowow!
Oh, my God!
Oh, sorry!
What's wrong with you?
Do me a favour. Stop to pick her up.
I'd rather not. It's their house.
- That's my sister. - Oh!
Sorry.
- What's up, pussycat? - Need a ride?
What does it look like?
- How are you? - Fine.
- Still driving a Saab, hein? - Yeah.
- Hello. - Hey!
Kikki, this is Jenny. Jenny, it's my sister.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Hey, are you sure Tony are taking the bus?
- We would pick you up at the station. - I stopped using telephones 2 months ago.
Any particular reason?
To protest the involvement of telecom firms in the development of high tech weapon systems.
- Kikki graduated for Berkeley. - Ah...
So this is the new one, ah?
Have you done him yet?
Yes, ten minutes ago right where you're sitting.
So, what's the story with this girl? She... she works there?
I've told you everything Ellis told me.
- Thank you. - Beautiful girl...
working at a public library.
- Maybe she likes books. And silence. - Or maybe she googled it.
And found out about his generous contribution and then...
...worked her way in there so that she could get her hooks into him.
Yeap. I bet that's it.
- Shouldn't they be here by now? - You clean the table.
- They're here. - Yeah, yeah.
How do I look?
Very pretty.
- Oh, there you are! - Hey, mom.
Oh, honey. Oh, you look great.
Look who we pick up on the mountains.
Oh, baby!
- So, this is Jenny. - Hello, so nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- You must be exhausted after your trip - Oh, no. It was nothing.
- We made it in, like, 18 minutes. - Now, I'm not amused.
He knows I hate it when he speeds.
It wasn't me, it was Jenny, I swear.
- She thinks she has a high life. - Let me take your coat. - Oh, OK.
Where have you been? Or do you forget where we live?
No.
Hum... It's my dad, William.
Dad, this is...
Adaline.
Hum.. Jenny... actually.
Dad, you OK?
I'm sorry. It's just...
You look exactly like this old friend of mine... hum...
Adaline Bowman.
That's my mother.
You're joking. You really...?
- Yeah - Oh, my gosh! - Did you know her?
Yeah! Yeah, I mean...
We were very close. I-I-I....
I knew her in London.
Yeah, she-she lived there in-in...
In the sixties. Right before she...
moved to Paris and met my father.
- Incredible. What are the odds? - What a small world.
Wow. wow.... The resemblance is a-absolutely amazing.
You must hear that all the time.
For as long as I can remember.
Wow. We were very close.
You said that already.
I can't believe you never mentioned her.
- Oh, yeah... I must have... - No, no.
No, I remember your close, close friends.
How is she? How's she doing?
She passed away. Six years ago.
No, really?
Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.
Extraordinary woman.
Well, it runs in the family.
- Come on, hum. Want something to eat or...? - Ya, ya, I made cheesecake.
We're kind of tired, actually, hum...
I think we'll head up, if that's OK with you.
- Me too. - Really?
Alright, I'll have you in the back bedroom.
- It's so nice to meet you. - Yes.
Dad?
Hey baby.
Miss?
You know you can't do that. You're gonna flood your engine.
Thank you. Thank you for the useful tip.
Or you gonna be one hell of a ten, at least.
I'm sorry. I've done everything I could to get this thing started.
It just... It won't.
Alright, all it needs is a push start. Hum...
Just loose the break, I'll give you a push.
You pop your clutch and he'll take off.
OK.
Thank you.
- Ready? - Ready. - You're ready? - OK. - OK.
- And now pop your clutch! - Oh!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
They would spend the next five weeks together.
And Adaline did something she had promised herself she would never do.
You know you... You still haven't told me your name.
Adaline Bowman.
- But my friends call me Della. - That's beautiful.
Thank you.
Three weeks later, his semester completed.
William flew home to the United States.
Adaline came with him.
Hey there.
- How did you sleep? - Fine.
Good.
Sorry about last night. I didn't mean to embarrass you.
It's just...
I must be losing it.
It's OK.
- When did you come up? - Not too late.
- Read for a while. - Hum.
Hi, baby.
- Where is Jenny? - She'll be down in a sec.
She was up all night. Tossing and turning.
Oh. You know you've never told us how you guys met.
We met in an elevator on New Year's eve.
- Do you want some coffee? - No, thank you.
But, I had seen her once before that.
It was at the library. She was reading a book in braille.
I just... I knew she was a really gem.
Here you are baby. So was her mom.
How did you meet her mother?
Hum... It was outside London.
Her car broke down. I helped her fix it.
- So... she was English. - No, no. She was just there studying french.
Spoke like what? Four languages?
- I think so, yeah. - Wow.
- Jenny's brilliant with languages too. - Really?
So, how old were you when you met her?
Oh, I was about...
Let's see... humm. I was at second year in med school so...
So, I was like... 26.
I was thinking about quitting Medicine. Bored.
But I was.... I was afraid, I was too old to start over.
I told her...
I told Adaline about it and she just laughed in my face.
She said: "Go for it".
Don't be silly.
"Life's too short."
If it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't have found astronomy and physics
She was only a couple of years older than I was but she was so wise.
She was so...
sophisticated.
She hum...
- What? Honey? - That's enough, William.
What? What's-what's going on?
What, you-you think this is funny?
What do you mean? What did I do?
You were very close. You were very close.
You said that two twice now.
And you should see your face when you talk about her.
Are you gonna wax nostalgic this whole weekend?
Look, it's just that-that...
She looks so much like her mother that I'm remembering things
that I even didn't know I remembered.
- Well, I hate feeling like second choice. - What do you mean, secon...
- Specially this weekend. - Second choice?
- Yes - Forty years, baby.
Come on... Second choice?
Honey, you're blowing this all out of proportion.
Am I?
Are you jealous?
Yeah. As a matter of fact...
Look, look.
It was fleeting.
Inconsequential.
It sounded like you were more than that.
I love you.
- I love you too. - Come on.
I'm coming.
It's not the most romantic weekend.
Thanks for being such a good sport.
- Of course. - I promise I'll make it up to you.
Sorry about my dad. It's really embarrassing.
He's lovely.
Hey, your mom must have really been something.
Yeah, she was.
- Kikki! - Oh!
Ho, guys. Dad is riding a 47 game winning streak.
All the money I spent in your education I was hoping for stronger competition.
- Have you played this before? - No, never.
Kikki! Come on!
- Trivial? - YES.
The idea is to get enough of these little...
- Wedges. - Pie! - They're cheese.
They're wedges. You get enough of them to fill up your circle and you win, OK?
Most of the questions are about a stupid stuff.
Hence the word "trivia".
Yeah, like, here's an example for you...
Hum... On June 22nd 1938 this American boxer
retained his heavy weight championship when he beat Max Schmeling in the 1st round
- Well, that it is in top four. - Ah, yeah.
What do you think?
Hum...
- Sonny Liston? - Joe Louis.
- Good guess, though. Really. - Yeah. - Thank you.
Women and boxing.
Excuse me. You know what then?
You know what? Finally, ladies. We're on the team. Here. - Roll the dice.
- There we go. Alright. - There we go.
Women are pink.
Women are pink?
- Who's the first United States President to be born in a hospital? - Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter
- Beginner's luck - I don't think so. Try again.
At what event did the Hula-Hoop make its debut?
In 1956...
at the World's Fair in New York.
1956 World's Fair New York.
Oh, my God!
- Nice one! - Wow.
Cheese.
- Pie. - Wedge.
Alright. Come on. Let's do this.
Smell something like your winning streak going up to smoke?
Is that this family joke?
What would happen first: Dad loses in Trivial Pursuit
or Della finally appears.
Della?
Yeah, you remember the comet I told you about.
The one that my dad my dad discovered...
He named it Della C 1981.
After my great aunt, Adèle.
- OK, let's go! - Yeah, dad, come on.
Here we go. Jenny!
For the win.
Of what country was Albert Einstein...
offered the presidency in 1952?
Hum... Israel.
Israel.
- It's OK. Still love you. - How does it feel, dad?
- Are you sad? - I'm alright
... section 3, paragraph h.
- I'm sorry. - I'm going for a walk. - Sure.
huhum.
... just look at page 10.
How many stars do you think there are in our galaxy?
I don't know. Five hundred million.
A couple of hundred billion.
Plato believe that...
every soul has a companion star he returns to after death.
If you live tomorrow life.
You believe that?
No. No. I'm a...
I'm a scientist.
Plato was a philosopher.
A poet.
Why did you name your comet after my mother?
If my calculations were correct. They turned out to be wrong....
It would have been the... closest approach...
to Earth of any comet in 200 hundred years.
In other words...
Like your mother.
A near miss.
What does that mean?
I was gonna propose to her.
I had an engagement ring in my pocket.
She stood me up.
Near miss. Goodnight.
William?
She loved you too.
Wow.
We just met, right?
I know that.
And I should probably shut up right now.
I'll just shut up.
Come on. What?
What is it? I-I ca...
I just gotta tell you the truth...
I can't imagine my life without you.
I know... It's probably the last thing you wanna hear right now.
But I'm falling in love with you, Jenny.
I can't help it.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know.
- I don't know what... - Please, don't say anything.
I just wanted you to know how I feel.
Oh, hello.
Jenny
Do you know where everyone went?
Yeah, Kathy and Kikki went to the market.
and Ellis went for a... for a run.
- Oh, OK. - Hold on, you got a...
- ... a bug in your head. - Oh!
- Sorry, it's a... - What is it? - It's a ladybug.
Oh, they say they're good luck.
Did you get it?
Got it.
Thank you.
Please tell Ellis I went for a walk.
- Della, you OK? - Oh, my God!
Don't worry. I will fix you.
- Excuse me. - Hi.
Do you mind taking a photo?
No, no. It's OK, I don't...
No... we're wasting film.
3...2...1...
I know.
I know who you are, Adaline.
What?
The scar.
The same scar. I stitched it myself.
Please.
The truth.
William...
I thought I was losing my mind.
How? How is this possible?
I-I don't know.
I was normal... I...
And then one day i-i just stopped.
I wanted to tell you so badly.
But I couldn't.
You know what they'd do to me.
- I-I...would been a... - Curiosity.
- A specimen. - Yes.
That's why you left.
That's why you...
disappeared.
You can't imagine how much it hurt.
I think I... I think I can.
You never told anybody?
No.
If I had, it would have been Ellis.
Don't. Don't run away.
Don't disappear again, please.
For Ellis.
- I had a life. - Please
All these years... You've lived but you never had a life.
Please, for yourself, for Ellis...
Stay, Adaline.
I don't know how.
Don't run, Adaline. Adaline!
Adaline.
Don't, don't. Adaline.
Adaline, please.
Please don't do this. Adaline.
Don't. Think about, Ellis. Please!
Adaline, please! Adaline!!
"Ellis, I'm so sorry. I can't do this. I can't explain. Jenny"
Dad! Dad! Where are your keys?
She's gone.
She's not coming back, son.
What just happened?
What is... what is this?
Dad, what the hell did you say to her?
Nothing.
She can't explain.
Please, tell me what she said.
That's she's not capable.
Of what?
Of change.
Do you lover her?
Son. Listen to me.
- Do you lover her? - Yes.
How do you know?
- Dad, I... - It's a simple question.
How do you know?
Because nothing makes sense without her.
- "Hello?" - Oh, Tonika, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
- "Is everything OK?" - No, no. I just... I wanted to tell you.
"What is it?"
You're right. No more running.
- "Oh, mom" - I'll call you tomorrow, OK?.
- "I'm so happy to hear that." - I love you.
- "I love you too, mama". - Bye. - "Bye, momma."
The moon is responsible for much of what takes place on the surface of the Earth.
A stray meteor hit the moon in 1178.
The result in concussion would cause
extreme tides on every lunar phase in Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina.
A 23 per cent rise in the mean tide on this night
produced a storm 200.000 miles of the Pacific Coast
causing an increase in the amount of molecular ionization in the atmosphere.
For the first time in 78 years,
snow fell... in this part of Sonoma County.
In the first stages of hypothermia...
The body will try to generate heat through shivering.
When this fails, it will decrease the flow of blood
to the extremities.
Metabolism slows to a crawl.
You're dying, but you don't know it.
In the final stages....
The victim breathes only once or twice a minute.
A state of suspended animation.
Jenny!
At 7:07 P.M.
Adaline Bowman's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees F [30º C].
Her heart stopped beating.
At last, at the age 107...
Adaline Bowman was, by any definition...
dead.
At precisely 2:09 P.M.
paramedics placed two defibrillator paddles on Adaline Bowman's chest.
They counted the prescribed five seconds before ministering 750 volts of electricity.
- How is she? - We've just run a series of tests...
and don't see any long term damages.
It's quite remarkable, in fact.
Is she awake? Could I go see her?
She's exhausted but you might be able get her a few words.
OK. Thank you.
Hi.
Jenny?
- Hi. - Hey.
I know why you run away.
You do?
It's because of what I said to you last night, isn't it?
I told you...
- And you got scared, I shouldn't... - Come here, Ellis... Come here.
I love you too.
There's something else.
What?
What is it?
Oh...
Well, first...
My name isn't Jenny.
Oh, my God. What happened?
Nothing, nothing. An accident. I'm fine.
- Yeah, but.. - Hey, I'm better than fine, OK?.
- This is Ellis. - Hello. - Hello.
Is the man I've been talking you about.
Oh!
Nice to meet you.
Hum... I'm Jenny's grandmother.
What? But I said...
He knows.
Hey, everybody.
I don't want to ruin the party, but I wanna say something...
First of all, thanks for being here. Kathy and I are really grateful that you could all be here.
It means a lot to us
that you would be here to helps celebrate the first
the first forty years of our marriage.
When I first met this lovely lady...
back in the older days
I had a...
I had a pretty good idea of I wanted to do in my job but I...
I didn't really...
know what I wanted to...
be as a man when I grew up if I ever... grew up.
The commitment that she made to our marriage and family...
to me...
the quality of her love...
led me to understand that I could have...
no greater ambition in life
than to be the best
possible husband I could be for her.
And I'm still working on it.
So, here's to Kathy,
Love of my life.
Made of my soul.
Mother of my lovely children.
To Kathy.
There you are, honey. Good girl.
Hey, you guys!
You better hurry up. You're going to be late for the event.
- Yeah, I've been waiting for ten minutes. - Oh, so handsome.
- Thank you. - I'm ready too.
- Wow - Wow
I just need a zip.
Are you sure you don't want to come with us?
I'm positive.
I've got my date right here.
Come here, baby.
- OK, and I love you. - Love you
I have to grab my clutch.
And my camera.
Adaline? You OK?
Yes.
Perfect.
The instant Adaline's heart was struck by the defibrillator paddles,
the telomere structures in her genes regain their pliability,
causing her to resume
the natural course of aging.
William was right after all.
The comet Della C 1981 finally did return.
A half century late
but as bright and magnificent
as he had predicted.
