Part 36 (1/2)

Never fear no more.

I'm jus' goin' home... .

Kate sits in the back of a taxi, her head resting on the window gla.s.s. It begins to rain.

No more fear, no more pain

No more stumblin' by the way... .

Charles closes the iron gate at the entrance to the bar, and walks down Cahuenga Boulevard. A few people are getting in their cars, folks are making out, police cruise by. It's the end of a long night.

No more longing for the day

Gonna run no more.

Outside Graceland Kate stands at the gates looking at the building. A gardener on a ride-on lawn mower trims the gra.s.s.

Mornin' star lights the way... .

Kate exits the cab at LAX. Working her way through the crowd at the airport entrance, she enters the terminal.

Charles stands on the street corner singing. Kyle and Lucy stand nearby, listening.

Restless dreams all gone... .

F.M. joins Kate at the gates. The way they look at each other speaks volumes. Charles's soulful singing fills the air like a spectacular sunset.

Shadows gone, break of day,

Real life has begun... .

F.M. takes Kate's hand. ”Are you ready, Kate?”

”Ready as I'll ever be.”

An airplane soars, climbing steeply from its LAX runway. Charles's voice anoints the moment.

Goin' home, goin' home

I am goin' home... .
