Magic in the Water Page #4

Dad! Dad, you're not crazy.

You're a messenger for Orky.

You're just trying to

tell us that he's sick.

Dad, is that what you're trying to tell us?

There is no monster.

There is no monster.

It was only a dream.

Those pills.

GLENORKY HOSPITAL

Quiet.

There he is again. Hey!

He's that little dude from China.

I told you.

I think he's trying to tell us something.

That's him!

I told you. Come on.

This way.

Don't lose him. Come on, let's go!

Through here.

This will be worth millions.

I'll finally get my own wheels.

What's he doing?

Hurry up. Come on!

What do you think, boss?

It's got a few leaks, but it'll do.

It's a fake.

The whole thing is a fake.

This is going to be so good.

But he ate my cookies.

Fill her up and you're off, boys.

It's a perfect night.

Come on, guys.

There's something going on here.

I'm gonna find out what it is.

Must cost big bucks

to dispose of this stuff, huh?

I mean, not many places

take hazardous waste these days.

I know that smell.

Just land her on shore,

right in the middle of town.

- Yeah.

- And confess.

Tell the world it's been a hoax

all these years.

An attempt to create a tourist industry.

No more ridiculous foreigners bothering us

with their effeminate little submarines.

No more whining natives claiming...

that we're endangering

an endangered species.

We're left alone to go about our business.

Everybody's happy.

Especially me.

An inspired, creative, cerebral plan,

don't you think?

I hate violence.

Josh, we can't let him do this.

You stay here and keep a lookout.

I'm gonna see if I can sabotage that thing.

One more question.

Where's the men's room?

Thank you.

Come on.

Josh, they heard us.

We gotta get out of here.

Josh!

I can drive this.

We can use it as evidence.

Bon voyage.

And remember, you never heard of me.

Go on, get back there. Come on, come on.

Go, go, go.

Josh, what are we gonna do?

Wait until he gets out,

then we'll go to the police.

Inspiration. Inspiration.

Yes!

God, I'm good.

Okay. And...

bingo.

JOE'S ORKY EMPORIUM

I'm out of here.

Where did he go?

What's happening?

I don't know. Something's wrong.

Big trouble. Okay.

Big trouble.

What's he doing? What the...

Josh!

Stop. Stop. Stop.

- Turn!

- I'm trying!

No, no, Josh! No, turn. No! Turn!

- Find the brake!

- Found it!

We hit it!

That colossal idiot!

Josh.

We gotta get out of here. Let's go!

Come on, let's go!

Josh, open it.

It's stuck.

That's the dump site.

No. Not there!

Anywhere but there!

There's gotta be a pump switch

in here somewhere.

- Found it! Found it.

- Josh, it's sinking fast.

Help!

Help, please help!

They're probably looking for us right now.

It's been a long time.

They probably don't even know

we're missing.

Besides...

good luck finding us.

Wait. Did you guys hear that?

- That was me.

- What are you doing?

I'm calling Orky. He'll hear us that way.

Ash, this is Orky.

It's a fake.

Get a grip.

Jack?

Jack?

Jack, what are you doing?

Trying to find my kids.

Where are they today, Jack?

Jack, are you okay?

Jack, it's gonna be all right. Come on up.

One step at a time.

And I saw a... Big, big, huge...

That little idiot. Look at him.

He's confessing.

Well, isn't that what he was

supposed to do?

It wasn't supposed to sink, you moron.

Now they're gonna go looking for it.

Take the explosives and rig the dump site.

I hope Dad will be all right.

Yeah. Me, too.

What was that?

Orky?

Hey, we're rescued!

I can't believe it. They actually found us.

Yes! Yes.

- Josh.

- What? What is it?

Sh*t.

It's those one-armed dudes.

Damn it!

We're moving.

Well, well, well,

what have you boys been up to?

- There's something down there!

- Yeah, there's something down there!

Yeah, and it's something big!

We was just following orders.

Miller's gonna kill you.

Mack Miller?

What do you say we take a little ride, boys?

Come on, Orky. Hurry!

He'd better, or we're history.

Where are we?

- Dad?

- Daddy!

Hey, guys.

Come on. Are you all right?

How did you get here?

Gravity?

What is this place?

I love you guys so much.

Who are you?

That's Hiro. He's from China.

Hey, how you doing, Hiro?

I have been here before.

This place was in my dream.

This place is real!

This is it.

Dad! This is where he lives.

Orky.

Hi. It's me.

It's all right.

You like your nose tickled?

I guess so.

Hey, boy.

You saved our lives.

How you doing?

I love you, Orky.

Dad, he's bleeding.

Dad, look at his back.

Oh, God.

It could be the toxins, Dad.

What's happening, Daddy?

I think he's dying, honey.

No!

Hey! Hey, come on!

Come on. No.

- Please. Please, no!

- Come on.

- Daddy, no. Daddy.

- Orky.

Orky, no. No.

Please, no.

Give him space, honey.

No, Daddy. Please.

Please. No, no.

Orky, I won't let you die. Please don't die.

No. No. Please, no.

I'm sorry, honey.

It's all right. Come here.

He's been sick for a long time.

He's out of pain.

Look at that. Is that a sand castle?

All right, all right, that's good.

That's good. Keep going.

Buddy, move it! Get away from the hole.

We gotta keep this hole clear.

Don't let them find him, okay?

Are you okay, honey?

Are you all right?

Jack?

Mr Black?

Did you see anything down there?

No. I didn't see anything.

Can you tell us what it was like?

There's nothing down there.

There's nothing.

Rope up and let's get a shot anyway.

We need it for the story.

Dad, no.

Hey, did you hear what I said?

Hey, are you listening to me?

There is nothing down there.

I mean it.

Sheriff? It's not safe.

Don't be silly. He'll be fine.

It's not safe!

Please. Don't...

A Dad.

Oh, no.

We're gonna need some...

I told you everything I know, Wanda.

Just as it happened.

No one else knows except the group.

Jack, it's not that I don't believe you.

It's just that it makes no rational sense.

Wait.

For what it's worth...

I am finding the irrational

pretty damn exciting these days.

God.

There's nothing I'd like more

than to see things the way you do.

Want to come in for a swim?

I know you miss him, Ash. I do, too.

I wonder what he's doing right now.

Nothing. He's gone.

He's only gone if you let him be.

Remember that story I told you,

the one about Curtis and Jackie?

Yeah.

Well, I remember the ending now.

Jackie grew up...

and he had a child of his own.

A beautiful little girl.

And that little girl was

so full of wonder...

and appreciation and knowledge...

and all the things

that her father had left behind.

Is this one of those metaphors, Dad?

When did you get so smart?

So what happened with the little girl?

How does it end?

I guess that's up to the little girl.
