Marlena is lying at the bottom of the pit. She's lost all hope of being rescued. She has been hallucinating about John and Roman. She tires to get up but she's too weak.

Marlena: John! Roman! I can't hear you. What are you trying to say?

She brings her arm up to cover her eyes.

Marlena: What? Is somebody there? Is somebody up there? Who is it?

Suddenly there's a bright light shining down on Marlena.

Marlena: Who's there? Who's up there? I can't see. Who are you?

Samantha: It's me Marnie.

Marlena: Sami?!

Samantha: Yes it's me. Don't be afraid.

Marlena's crying.

Marlena: It's so good to see you.

Samantha: It's very good to see you too.

Marlena: What are you doing here?

Samantha: Well I'm here for you silly. I'm here to take you back with me.

Marlena: Back?

Samantha: Across to the other side.

Marlena: No. No. No.

Samantha: I know it's very frightening for you but it's only because you don't know what to expect. That's what I'm doing here. I'm here to make sure you understand that it's all right. It really is all right.

Marlena: Sam don't do this to me alright.

Samantha: I'm not doing anything to you Marnie. It's not like when we were kids. This is wonderful...peaceful Marnie. You have a lot of friends here.

Marlena: Sam. Is...is DJ there?

Sam reaches for Marlena.

Samantha: He's wonderful. He's waiting for you.

Marlena: Oh! I can't! Sam I can't. I've go things that I have to do. I have things I have to do here. I'm not done. I have to finish some things and learn some lessons and I can't...I can't. I can't go now.

Sam fades away.

Marlena: Sam? Sam! I...I can't.
