Is he going

to be okay?

They're not sure.

He's pretty bad.

What am i going

to tell the kids?

If you want,

i can tell them.

Tell who what?

Alex... Tommy...

come sit by me.

Tell us what?

Mr. Conners

is sick.

Sick?

What do you mean?

He had a heart attack

and is in the hospital.

Is he going

to die?

He may.

No!

Honey,

i'm sorry.

Alex?

Yeah?

What are you doing?

We have to

find the faeden.

We have to

find it, tonight.

We can't. It's dark.

We'll look tomorrow.

No, maybe it

will be too late.

We have to

find it, tonight.

Wait!

I'm going with you.

[Door slams]

Alex, Alex?

[Knocks]

Tommy?

The sooner we go,

the sooner we

get back.

The woods look

scary in the dark.

Let's get ready.

Ready?

Ready!

Let's go find it.

Becky?

Becky?

Huh?

Have you seen

Tommy and Alex?

No.

I better call rick.

Got any idea where

they might be?

Hi rick, it's me.

The kids are gone.

This way.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I think.

Yeah,

okay. C'mon.

It's all right.

I promise you

we'll find them.

They're good kids

hiding somewhere.

We just have to

figure out where.

I've called the firehouse,

the hospital,

and checked all the roads

to get there.

We're going to have

to search the woods.

All right,

let's do it.

You get the guys together

and let's get moving on it.

Hey, c'mon,

it's going

to be all right.

We'll find them.

I promise you,

all right?

Okay?

Okay.

Tommy, i think

we'd better stop

and check the map.

Okay.

Do you think you know

where we are?

No. I don't

recognize anything.

We might have

been pixie-led.

Now what?

If we're lost,

i think we should stay

right where we are.

[Mr. Conner:
]

But this i do know...

when it's important

enough for you to hear

what the wind

has to say,

you'll hear it.

Mr. Conners...

okay,

you know the drill.

It's going to be tough

to see because of this rain.

Work your area thoroughly.

Let's follow

all standard procedure.

Let's not forget

that these 2 kids

are cold and tired and

probably huddled up somewhere.

Keep your eyes peeled.

God be with us all

and good luck!

[Wind howls eerily]

What was that?

Just the wind.

We've got to

get out of here.

But which way

do we go?

Let's turn around

and go back.

But which wy

is back?

The banshees!

They're after us!

[Horse whinnies]

The pooka!

The one who

got the robber!

Let's go!

Deputy,

grab a couple

of people.

Check that ravine

over there.

[Dogs barking]

What have you got?

Nothing to the north.

Make sure you

get up on the south ridge.

Look under rocks.

There's a lot of holes

they could be hiding in.

Alex!

What's that sound?

It sounds like water.

The stream!

The bad fairies can't hurt

us if we're in the water.

Let's go!

Tommy!

We have to

go across.

But we don't know

how deep it is.

Do you think the

pooka will get us?

I don't know.

Do you think

we lost them?

Maybe.

I think we

should wade.

Stay close

to the side

and follow the stream?

Okay?

Okay.

C'mon!

Be careful!

Look out!

[Alex screams]

Help! Help!

Grab the log!

Meg, what's that?

Bill,

i've got something.

Yeah, meg,

what is it?

It looks like

a metal detector

and a couple

pair of glasses.

Help! Help!

I need to see

liam conners.

Visiting hours aren't

until 9:
00 a.m.

No, you

don't understand.

Is there a problem

i can help you with?

Yes, i need to

see mr. Conners.

My brother is lost and

he may know where he is.

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Trail ends here!

You sure?

Yeah.

Tommy!

Take the dogs up there

where it narrows.

See if you can't

pick up a scent

over there.

Bill and i will

go down river.

You know where

this river goes?

Help!

Help somebody! Help!

Help! Please!

[Screaming]

Tommy's?

Yeah.

I'm going to

cross here

and work

my way down

to the falls.

Mr. Conners?

Mr. Conners,

it's becky.

It's about

Tommy and Alex.

I think they went to search

the last part of the woods.

I was hoping you'd

know where that was.

Follow the rainbow.

[Nurse:
]

Let him sleep.

The medication

makes him hallucinate.

Where are we?

Behind

the waterfall.

We were lucky the log

caught onto the rock.

What do we do now?

We can't go forward

and we can't go back

the way we came.

I guess we'll

just have to wait.

I hope ace is okay.

[Mr. Conners:
]

Believe that there are angels

right here in erinville.

That do hear and

answer your prayers.

Dear god, please,

please help them.

The rainbow!

I don't think

anyone's gonna

find us, here.

If only we

had the faeden,

then we could

wish our way out.

Look, what's that?

I don't know.

Liam patrick conners...

mr. Conners!

Open it!

That's it!

The faeden,

we found it.

Just like

mr. Conners promised.

Now we can

get our wishes.

Go ahead, Alex,

make your wish.

I don't know

how to use it,

do you?

No.

Oh, that's right.

Mr. Conners

said the faeden

was useless

unless you know

how to work it.

Oh great!

Tommy, why was

it so important

that you found

the faeden anyway?

I thought it

was the only way

i could get my wish.

Great thinking.

If i'd known this

was going to happen,

i wouldn't have

wished for it.

Sorry.

It's all my fault.

What did mr. Conners mean

when he said we were close?

We couldn't

look in here.

So if there's a purpose

to everything,

why here...

...behind the waterfall?

There's got to be more.

Look...

Alex, look!

What does

it say?

When you

can't hear the music

of cricket and owl,

and the wind

isn't telling you answer,

when you look

to the sky and

see only cloud,

to the forest

and see only tree, play me.

[Mr. Conners:
]

I'll open your eyes

and your heart.

Once again you will

see all the wonder

of the cricket, the owl,

the cloud and the tree,

and the wind-borne

song of the maker.

With hope you will see

you are never alone...

for someone who cares

will always be there.

One wish of the heart,

a child's simple plea,

each heard the same

if you play...

and believe.

Tommy?

Alex?

You said,

"follow the rainbow."

I followed it.

So, where are they?

Believe in what?

Magic?

Fairies?

Wishes?

No. Tommy,

think about it.

None of those things

are real.

We have to believe

in something bigger,

like the power

that made everything.

That's what

mr. Conners has been

trying to tell us.

Okay,

but you go first.

We wish for

strength of heart

and the courage

to get out of here.

No, stop!

Those are the only

things mr. Conners said

we should wish for.

That might count

as two wishes.

You might

be right.

We shouldn't

take any chances.

Go ahead, Tommy,

make the last wish.

Wish for your dad,

that's what you've

been waiting for.

I wish...

i wish...

i wish that mr. Conners

can have a good, long life.

My dad's

dead, Alex.

Wishing can't

change that.

He's in

a better place.

Please be there.

Please help us.

[Flute plays]

I don't understand.

[Flute plays]

They're behind

the waterfall.

Tommy! Alex!

I'll go get help.

[Horse whinnies]
