This is the third part of the trilogy, even though in the Making it says its the fourth. This is the deepest and most personal video, from Axl's point of view. Its very clear that this is an Axl's own life video, just like the song.

First image, a playground, empty. The police breaks into Axl's house and wakes him up from his most peaceful dream, up in a shelf in a kid's room. Axl closes his eyes and sees a child (Dylan, ex-girlfriend Stephanie Seymour's son). This part of the video is really sad, he desperately tries to keep those memories in his own mind. The scene turns into a show, the band playing live, after the show, Axl who is this time dressed like a boxer goes to his room to take a rest and he falls asleep and somehow his soul comes out his body and takes a very hot shower while the other part of him is still sleeping.

Slash plays the guitar around a crowd who keeps walking while he seems to be flying all along The Rainbow bar. And a huge sign becomes a dolphin. Axl is now on a big ship, looking gloomy, he checkes nobody is around, and he jumps right into the water, a huge fall. Gilby tries to save him but Axl rejects that help, then Duff tries to rescue him from a rubber boat but again he fails. Axl goes deeper...some dolphins come to him and show him the way. Slash emerges from the middle of the ocean, playing again his guitar. Now, it's Matt's turn to save Axl, he flies in an helicopter up to where Axl is drawning and throws himself into the water to grab Axl, he finally is saved and lets his shoe go down to the bottom of the ocean. Axl smiles beside a dolphin, the screen reads..."Lose your illusions, Axl Rose" ...
