Lady in the Water
Once, man and those in the water
were linked.
They inspired us.
They spoke of the future.
Man listened and it became real.
But man does not listen very well.
Man 's need to own everything
led him deeper into land.
that live in the ocean...
...and the world of men...
...separated.
Through the centuries, their world,
and all the inhabitants of it...
...stopped trying.
The world of man became more violent.
War upon war played out,
as there were no guides to listen to.
Now those in the water
are trying again...
...trying to reach us.
A handful of their precious young ones
have been sent into the world of man.
They are brought in the dead of night...
...to where man lives.
They need only be glimpsed...
...and the awakening of man
will happen.
But their enemies roam the land.
There are laws that are meant
to keep the young ones safe...
...but they are sent
Many...
...do not return.
Yet still they try...
...try to help man.
But man may have
forgotten how to listen.
My daughter says to be careful,
Mr. Heep.
Well, it's some kind
of a b... B... B... Bug.
It's very big.
It's very hairy.
some kind of creature the devil made.
Tell her it's not a creature.
There's no such thing as creatures,
all right?
You...
Sorry this is taking so long.
It's over. It's over.
It's... It's safe.
My daughter says
thank you for protecting them.
Mr. Farber?
I'm Cleveland Heep.
Welcome to the Cove.
Mr. Heep!
You are new tenant?
Yeah, this is Mr. Farber. He's in 13B.
Now, Mr. Farber, this is Young-Soon
Choi. She lives with her mother in 8A.
She's a student at the university.
Young-Soon, you don't know...
...who's been swimming in the pool
the last few nights, do you?
No, Mr. Heep.
By the way, here. Thanks. I liked it.
You're welcome.
Mr. Heep loves learning.
He doesn't want people to know.
Mr. Heep, pool man looking for you.
I tell him you come soon.
Could you wait here just a moment,
please?
Gonna ask something. Answer straight.
You guys having parties in here?
Bubble parties, bubble bath,
everyone skinny-dipping?
No.
- Those bubbles make the water very slick.
- No.
I'll trust you on that. But something
is making this water like this.
There has been someone
swimming at nighttime.
I hear sp... Sp... Sp...
Splashing some nights.
I left here yesterday afternoon,
this filter was empty.
You kind of look like maybe
you could work out a little bit, right?
I could give you a vein like that.
I could make it look just like this. Right?
Most people say,
"What's wrong with you, Reggie?
Why you only working out
on one side of your body?"
I tell them it's like an experiment.
I'm like a scientist.
This morning I measured my bicep.
Four-and-a-half-inch difference
from one side to the other.
Look at that.
Take a guess at the difference
between my thighs.
- Hello, Reggie.
- Hey.
- Hey. Sorry.
- Hey.
Me and the new guy,
we're talking science.
Okay, that's great. Here we go, Mr. F...
Here we go. Come on.
Don't hang out in the stairwell,
Reggie, please.
- Okay.
- All right.
All right.
Reggie's harmless.
He just wants to be special.
He's working out
only one side of his body.
Did he...? Did he tell you that?
Hello, Mr. Leeds.
Those soldiers are only now beginning to
wonder how long they'll end up staying.
If this does come to combat, we will not
be in the battle for the sake of the battle.
He's been here f... F... Forever.
- Will not be reached any other way.
Mrs. Bell, she takes in animals.
Smart lady. You'd like her.
- He... Not just because he died.
- There's a bunch of people better.
- Name four people better.
- Name one better than Fred.
Axl Rose. Sebastian Bach.
Bret Michaels is better than he is.
Bret Michaels.
I'd rather listen to Bon... Jon Bon Jovi.
What? Are you...?
This is you.
There's no smoking inside.
And there's no swimming after 7.
I hope it's okay to ask: What brings you
here from the West Coast, Mr. Farber?
I've been hired to be the local film
and book critic for the paper.
They flew you all the way
out here for that?
- They did.
- Well, you must be very good.
Mr. Heep, Betty Pen again.
coming from the upstairs apartment.
and the body is decomposing.
I know I said this last week, but...
Not everyone here
spent Sunday practicing for war.
chaplains rallied the troops.
For these Marines,
a moment for prayer...
...at a service that many here believe
will be their last before going to war.
U.S. Forces predicted today the enemy,
estimated at 3 to 4000...
...may be willing...
- a major... A major confrontation.
At the same time, the U.S. Military
will be fighting a propaganda war.
If there were a silver bullet,
we would've shot that a long time ago.
Hey! I saw you!
I saw you!
Come out of that pool right now!
Hey!
I'm gonna wait.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on out, now. It's...
It's... It's not safe.
Come on out. This is not f...
This is not funny.
Please sto...
God.
Did you pull me out?
Where are you from?
The Blue World.
Is that an apartment?
Do you feel an awakening?
I'm sorry?
It will feel like pins and needles...
...inside.
It is not you.
It's late.
You really...
You shouldn't be here.
I'm kind of old-fashioned that way.
I don't even know your name.
My name is Story.
I didn't mean for you to tell...
Why am I not stuttering?
What?
Hello, Story, my name is Cleveland.
"From the cliffs."
That is what your name means.
Where did you learn that?
From my studies.
I promise that I will not
get you into trouble. You can go.
I am scared.
I will wait here with you, Cleveland.
Why are you scared?
You can wait here for a little bit...
...until you feel not so scared.
Are you okay?
Oh, my God. You're just a kid.
Hello.
Okay. It's time to go. Story, come on.
Okay.
I think you need some fresh air.
I'm just gonna take you outside.
I'm gonna put you
on one of the pool chairs.
I'm gonna get you some coffee...
...and then you can wake up.
Then I'll walk you home.
Tell me, who in the world
are you, anyway?
- Narf.
- What?
Okay. Come on.
Here we go.
Okay.
It was sort of h... H... Hairy, but...
But matted, like clumps. You know?
And it was kind of g... Green.
- You say green?
- Yeah.
I thought so. Matted is... Is not right.
It was f... F... Flat, and...
And thicker than hair.
Like this. Like this.
Flat and this kind of a color.
- And... Is this not helping you at all?
- Forget about its hair for a second.
It's obviously some dumb animal
who muddied himself. About how tall?
- What, was it a Great Dane?
- No, no, no. No, sir.
I mean, are there any w... W...
Wolves in this area? Hyenas?
Jack, this is Philadelphia.
Where do you think you're living?
