Journey from the Fall Page #4

---

My brother, the Blue Masked Bandit...

- He said.

...tried to avenge our father's death.

I've been on a quest for revenge.

Tortured and hung.

He told her everything about his life

except for the name of Governor Odious.

You need to leave.

You should go.

But you promised you'll tell me the story.

You've captivated my heart, Evelyn.

That's why

I can no longer keep you in captivity.

I've fallen in love with you.

But I am consumed with revenge.

I'm not a man who can be loved.

When I fall asleep, you gotta go.

And don't come back tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you.

- I'm sorry about this.

- Why?

I'm sorry.

Why?

I don't want you to see me like this.

You think you took me captive?

In fact, you're my savior.

I was like a bird in a golden cage.

By freeing me, you captured my heart.

Make them kiss.

No, I don't want to make them kiss.

Why?

Because what they're about to find out.

She should have not come with us.

- Why?

- It is too dangerous.

If we are captured,

Governor Odious shall surely kill her.

You mentioned Odious?

He is my sworn enemy.

And my fianc.

No.

I want to look at you until I die.

What a mystery this world.

One day you love them

and the next day

you want to kill them a thousand times over.

God forgive him.

I'm glad I never kissed you.

She can't die.

She's still alive!

The solid gold locket stopped the bullet.

"My dearest daughter,

"never marry for money, fame,

power or security.

"Always follow your heart.

"Your ever-Ioving father."

It says all that on that little locket?

I've never been able to open it.

No one's been able to open it.

You're the first.

And he knew that she was the woman

he was supposed to love.

Please. Please. Now they can kiss-kiss?

Yes.

But first, marriage.

And then they can kiss.

The ring.

The Mystic spies danger in your palm.

You've taken too many pills. Death is near.

Danger?

Suicide is not the answer.

He says he also knows of a secret chant.

Whenever we're in trouble...

Something about "googly-googly?"

He says if you fall asleep,

you will never wake up.

The Mystic was right.

The stony-faced priest had betrayed them.

And then they were saved?

No.

There was no one left to save them.

Wallace?

Wallace, is that you? Wallace?

No, it's me.

No wonder the bag was so heavy.

Shoot!

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot them, Daddy!

Shoot them!

Daddy, don't you recognize me?

Don't you? It's me!

Don't you recognize me?

- Who are you?

- It's me, Da-da.

- Who?

- Me!

- My daughter?

- Yes! You recognize me.

Yeah. My daughter

from a previous marriage.

Yes.

I didn't recognize you

because you have teeth.

You must be stronger now.

Not the time to sleep now.

Not the time to sleep.

It's not time to sleep.

Wake up.

Wake up. It's not time to sleep now.

Wake up.

Don't pretend to sleep.

Wake up. Laugh, laugh.

Not the time to sleep.

Americana Exotica.

Does Dr. Snider know about this?

He was under observation,

but I thought he was getting better.

Hey!

Alexandria, go inside! Go on!

All right, carry on. Sorry about that.

Roy, wake up. Wake up.

Roy, wake up.

They're going to cut you up.

Gonna chop you up. Wake up.

- Go on! Shoo!

- Wake up.

Oh, no, no, no.

He was his usual self, you know,

smiling away, playing with his teeth.

I just don't feel very well, Doc.

I don't know

what the hell's wrong with me. Cough.

What, am I going delirious

from the medication?

I don't know what the hell...

Roy!

Roy, I thought you were dead.

Saw two men,

and they were carrying the body away.

And then I tried to pinch your toe.

I run after you,

and after that one of the doctors told me,

"Shoo!" and I had to go away.

I'm sorry. I promise, but you...

- I bring you more medicine if you want.

- Sugar.

- I promise...

- They're giving him sugar.

Come here!

Oh, well, that's great, you're awake.

I brought your x-rays...

- Hey, you wanna take a look...

- Doc, the old man's dead and you're...

- Hey. Roy!

- That's it!

- Will you shut up, already?

- You shut up!

Get out of here! You're not really sick, Walt!

They're feeding you sugar!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

- I've had enough of you!

Nurse!

What do you mean, they're giving me sugar?

- Here you go, Doctor.

- She's wet herself.

Get her out of here.

Go back to your room. Orderlies!

You should be in bed, Alexandria.

There's more fires in the field.

It's kerosene.

The kerosene stops the fruit from freezing.

No, it's Mystic.

He's coming out of that tree to help Roy.

I think it's bedtime, young lady.

No more time for funny talk.

Into bed now.

And maybe one day

you can take me downstairs

and introduce me to your friend Roy.

We go downstairs and say good night?

No. He's not allowed any visitors.

Your friend, Roy, needs to rest.

He's very sad. He's lost his girlfriend.

He needs to sleep.

But he can't. He needs medicine to sleep,

but he doesn't have any.

That's the problem.

I'm sure

they're taking very good care of him.

Now, it's time for bed.

Little girls need to go to sleep, too.

- I'm not little. I am five.

- Of course.

I forgot.

Googly, googly, googly, go away.

Googly, googly, googly, go away.

Googly, googly, googly, go away.

Googly, googly, googly, go away.

Googly, googly. Go away.

Googly, googly, googly. Go away.

Googly, googly. Go away.

Googly, googly.

Googly, googly, googly, go away.

Papa, they steal our horse.

Papa, they steal our horse.

Papa,

they steal our horse.

Papa, angry people burn our home.

They burn our house. Don't go outside.

Thieves.

Angry people kill.

Thieves!

The x-ray seems fine.

- Mommy!

- Were you taking medicine to Roy?

That is your responsibility

and this is how you treat it.

To get better, you gotta have the will

and your own desire to live.

I fell again.

I heard. Everybody's heard.

You're famous.

Are they angry?

Yeah,

but not at you.

I try to take more pills, but I fell.

It was the wrong thing, and...

- What?

- I put my foot on it when I went up

and later on the thing made me go like that

and I fell.

I didn't tell anybody about our secret.

Even when they tortured me with needles.

Is that a pirate's flag?

Is that yes or no?

Tell me the story.

I should go. You need your rest.

But I want to talk.

- I know you do.

- You promised.

The story was just a trick

to get you to do something for me.

- What?

- I was...

But I need the story.

You should ask someone else.

There's no happy ending with me.

I still want to know.

Ask your friend, Nurse Evelyn,

she'll tell it better than I will.

I don't want her in the story!

She's okay.

Oh, she doesn't really

love Governor Odious.

She's just pretending.

I saw her with one of the hospital men.

She was just pretending to love you.

Just like your girlfriend.

I see.

Governor Odious with Nurse Evelyn!

She's right.

She's right!

We don't need her.

She can't be trusted.

You give them your heart,

but all they really want is your wallet.

Sooner or later she's gonna leave him
