- Hey!

Hey!

- Help, help, help, help!

- Hi!

I'm leif, this is emry.

I can't believe you're real.

A real life tinman!

What's your name?

- Ain't

nothing of your concern.

Loi, my name is loi.

- Hi loi!

Where are you going?

- Help, find help.

- For what?

- Where'd you come from?

- Home, it is my

primary function.

- Home, where's that?

- Gone.

- Do you know Dorothy, the

scarecrow, the cowardly--

- eddy, Andy and

Abby, help, find help.

- What happened?

- Emergency personnel needed

at 615 Ace colonial Avenue.

- What happened?

- Bright flash, fire

immediately followed.

- The witch did it?

- Witch?

- Witch.

- Which way?

- Yeah, witch.

- That way!

- West?

- Yes.

Help this way.

- The witch did it.

- Can you help?

- I'm sorry, I...

- Loi wait.

Please wait, loi!

- Do not interfere!

- Loi wait!

Wait loi!

- Do not interfere!

- I'm sorry, I had to do it.

- I know.

I didn't want him to hurt me.

- I'd never let him

or anything else hurt you.

- What should

we do with him?

- My dad did his best

to help me survive.

He teached me to

able to help myself.

Then one day he got real sick.

A lot like your mom I guess.

There was nothing i

could do to help him.

He knew it.

We didn't know of

anyone else so he said

for that reason, I had

to make sure I survived.

Even though he couldn't.

Day before he passed,

he made me promise to bury him.

He said it was something

people used to do.

So the next day,

I found him with no breath

and no more beat

left in his heart,

and I put him in a

hole in the ground,

and covered it with dirt.

I guess we should

do the same for him.

- Yeah.

I think we should.

- Leif, leif?

- It's so hot.

- Have you been drinking?

- Yeah.

- Let me see.

Leif why haven't you been

drinking more than this?

- We don't have a lot left.

I didn't wanna use it all up.

- Drink the rest of this,

we have the extra

bottle remember?

We can refill yours later.

Feeling better?

- Yeah, I am.

- Drink when you get thirsty.

I know we don't have a lot,

but, I promise we'll find more.

- Hi...

- Did you hear that?

- I'm coming in

just a minute, I promise.

I always have about

three or four...

Hi, this is Dee.

I've left this message in the

hope that it reaches someone.

I know there has to be

more of us out there.

My friends and I have

a camp, east of here,

about 10 miles.

We have water,

food, and shelter.

There are four of

us, including myself,

but, we would happily feed more.

If you get this

message, head east

and look for the brick building.

There's a red x in the window.

We hope to see you.

- Can you believe it?

- I can.

- There's someone else,

and she sounds so beautiful.

Dee.

I can't wait to meet her.

- So, we are going?

- Of course!

- The tinman was

right, we found help!

- Am I imagining this?

- Not at all.

What if she really is Dorothy?

- You know what, she could be!

- Really?

- Yeah, I, i

couldn't explain loi

and I never thought

this would happen,

so, why not?

Maybe you'll get to

meet your Dorothy.

- If you get

this message, head east

and look for the brick building.

There's a red x in the window.

We hope to see you.

- How do I look?

- What?

- Do I look good?

- You look the

same as you always do.

- Is that good?

- I guess so.

- Have you gotten

far enough to know

if they got their wishes?

- Not yet.

- Would you show me

how to read some of it?

- Really?

- Yeah, I'd

like to be able to.

- Let's start with something

you've heard before,

it should make it easier.

What's this word?

Do, dor...

- Dorothy!

- Lived in the midst of

the great Kansas prairies,

with un...

- Unc...

- Uncle.

- Uncle.

- Henry, who was

a farmer, and aunt...

- Em!

- That was an easy one.

Who was the farmer's wife.

Their house was sma...

Small...

- Small.

- There were four

walls, a floor, a roof,

which made one room,

and this room contained

a rusty looking cooking stove,

a cupboard for the dishes,

a table, three or four

chairs, and the beds.

Uncle Henry and aunt em had

a big bed in one corner,

and Dorothy a little

bed in another corner.

There was no garret

at all, and no cellar,

except a small hole

dug in the ground,

called a cyclone cellar,

where the family could go

in case one of those

great whirlwinds arose,

mighty enough to crush

any building in its path.

Will be there tomorrow?

- We should, I don't

think it's too much further.

- What do you think

she'll look like?

- I don't know.

Maybe red hair?

- My mom had red

hair, she was tall.

Maybe Dee will be tall too.

- Tall, short, red hair,

brown hair, either way.

Tomorrow we're gonna find

what we've been looking for.

I know we hadn't realized it

but this is what we both wanted.

I guess we have your

book to thank for that.

Are you feeling better?

- Yeah, I feel good.

- Good.

Drink up.

We fill up tomorrow and...

Maybe we won't have to

worry about that anymore.

Red.

Red's my favorite color.

And I wish there was more of it.

- Maybe

there soon will be.

More red and green.

Dee, are you here?

Dee?

- Hello?

- Em, come here!

Em, did they try--

- they're dead.

- There are three graves.

One of them might still

be alive, maybe it's Dee.

- With three dead there

wouldn't be anyone

to bury the fourth.

She's gone.

- Hi, this is Dee.

I've left this message...

- How are you?

- I'm okay.

Just disappointed.

- Yeah.

- What now?

- We forget about

this and move on.

We were fine before all this.

I shouldn't have let

myself get excited

and lead us all out

here for nothing.

- We couldn't have known.

We both thought

we could find her.

- It was a distraction,

one after another.

It's not helping us survive.

If anything, it's hurting us.

- We're surviving okay.

- For now, but we're

almost outta water.

I didn't see any

in there, did you?

- No.

- We got our hopes up and now

we're gonna pay the price.

- Em, I'm sorry, I know

how much it meant to you--

- just forget about it.

Now get up and let's go.

- Where are we going?

- Somewhere other than here.

I need to take a break.

We have to find something soon.

- Are there any creeks nearby?

- I don't know where we are.

I let myself lose track.

Leif!

Why didn't you tell

me you had these?

- I can explain.

- Were you just

gonna let us die?

Why would you lie about this?

- I was saving it.

- For what?

- The witch.

Dorothy and them used

water to kill the witch.

You said yourself that

evil is what would stop us

from surviving, so

i recognized that,

and I was doing what i

needed to do to stop it.

- You're an idiot.

You lied about the bottles

so how do I know you're

not lying about this.

I can't read.

For all I know you're

making all of this up.

The witch isn't real!

What is real, is you're

letting your stupid brain

come up with all this crap.

If there is some evil

that's gonna keep us

from surviving, it's you.

- Em, I'm so sorry, i--

- give it up, I have

had enough of this.
