The Impossible Page #3

It was not more than five seconds.

On the bed, I found a note from my

wife saying they were at the beach.

- You're at the Orchid, right?

- Yeah.

My whole family was around the

swimming-pool when the water hit.

I found my middle son first, Thomas, he

was on top of this really tall tree.

It took me forever to convince him to come

down, because he was so scared, you know.

And I found my little one, Simon,

he was holding on top of a palm tree.

He's only five.

I sent them to the mountains.

You know, so that I can keep looking

for my wife and my oldest son.

Toughest choice I ever made.

- Have you called home yet?

- I can't find a phone.

I'm saving my battery,

just in case, my family calls.

Please.

Thank you!

I will be very quick, I promise.

- Yes?

- Bryan?

Yes Henry, thank God!

How are you doing?

- Did you hear from anyone yet?

- No Henry, you're the first call.

Is everyone all right?...

Henry?

Maria and Lucas are not here.

What do you mean, not there?

The wave came and swept everyone away.

I found Thomas and Simon,

but not Maria and Lucas!...

I don't know what to do or

where to look for them!

Henry. You have to calm down!

Henry? Henry?

- I have to go. Many people need this phone, okay?

- I will call you later.

- Henry?

Sorry, sorry.

Thank you.

- What do you want me to do?

- You can't leave it like that.

- Go on, come on.

- Go on!

Come on man, come on!

Keep call him back.

- Yes, Henry?

- Bryan, it's me again. Look...

I promise you I won't stop

looking until I find them. OK?

- Okay!

I don't know what to do,

because it's nighttime now, but I'll....

I'll look in all hospitals, and I'll

look in all shelters find everything OK.

And I'll... I will find

them, I promise you that.

- I'll call you when I do.

- Okay.

- OK!

- OK!

Thank you.

Can I go with you?

- I'm scared.

- Close of your eyes, and think of something nice.

May I sit with you?

How old are you?

Almost seventy-four.

And you?

Seven and a half.

You can't drop me.

- Is he alright?

- Yeah, he'll be alright.

With a blanket on him, he's alright.

You like looking at stars, don't you?

I do, stars like Alaska constellations.

Here, the sky is different.

Some of those stars have been

burned out for a long, long time.

Did you know that?

They're dead, aren't they?

They're dead, but once

they were so bright...

That their light is still

travelling through space.

And we can still see them.

How can you know which one

is dead and which is not?

No, you can't.

Impossible!

It's a beautiful mystery, isn't it?

Lucas Bennett, can you come with me?

Sit here.

Your name is Lucas Bennett, is that right?

- Yeah.

- And your mother's name is Maria Bennett?

Is that correct?

We got you to look at those things,

please, and see if you recognize any of them?

Have a good look!

Take your time.

- Does anything look familiar?

- I don't know.

You don't know?

Aye!

- You recognize anything?

- I don't think so.

You don't think so?

Lucas?

Could you please come with us?

Mom.

- Where have you been you?

- Where the hell have I been?

Where the hell were you?

You promised me you weren't going anywhere.

I thought you were dead, Mom.

- Sorry.

- I thought you were dead.

We're so sorry.

Someone must have changed

her record during surgery.

How is she?

She had surgery on her

chest, but she lost a lot of blood.

She was too weak

to have her leg operated on.

She has to go back to

surgery when she recovers.

But she'll be okay, right?

Nothing. What next?

Consider...

We should try to get a ride

to Kathu Apal Hospital.

- Where are my kids?

- They took them away.

- They didn't let me go with them. I'm Sorry.

- Where?

I don't know.

- I need to pee.

- You have to wait, Simon.

Mom... Mom. Wake up.

Mom, guess who I just saw outside.

My leg. How is my leg?

Still red.

Please, my mom.

Her wound's looking real bad.

We're doing the best we can.

We are taking your mom to

surgery right away.

No, no, five minutes.

Give me five minutes, please. Please!

OK!

I don't want you to slow down.

These are the names of my little girl Ginna

and Kathie, my wife. She's an American.

- Would you check the list for me?

- Of course.

Please, they told us her daughter could be in Surat Thani.

We already been to this hospital.

We have checked all

hospitals. But this one, please.

Five minutes, please!

Just only five minutes!

OK!

I won't be long. I'll be right back.

Lucas... Lucas...

Is there anything left in the can?

Alright, I'll get you something.

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

- I need to pee.

- Can you hold it?

No.

Simon, what are you doing?

Hurry up, they're going to leave us here.

What are you doing?

- No luck.

- Sorry.

Sorry, and thanks for waiting.

Thanks! We go now.

Dad!

It's Lucas!

- Lucas! Lucas!

- Lucas! Lucas!

- Lucas!

- Lucas!

- Simon! Thomas!

- Lucas! Lucas!

Are you okay?

Lucas!

- Dad!

- Lucas!

Dad!

Dad!

Lucas!

- Dad!

- Lucas!

- Dad!

- Lucas!

Dad! Dad!

Let's go, no need to wait.

- Mom is here.

- What?

She's very weak.

She said some weird stuff sometimes.

The nurse is going to try operate

on her as soon as they can.

Mom, look who's here.

Hey! Hey, my darling!

Mom.

- Is everyone okay?

- We are all okay.

- I'm gonna die.

- No, no.

Is it okay to take this off?

It is in my cost.

- You came back?

- Yes.

I can rest now.

Maria, what?

What, what darling?

- I'm dying.

- No. No.

- You're going to be fine.

- Take care of my babies.

Hey, that's not why I came here for.

You're gonna be fine as

they're going to take good care of you, OK?

I promise you we are going to be fine.

- Henry. I'm scared.

- We're gonna be fine.

Henry!

I promise we're going to be okay.

We're taking her for surgery.

We need to take her now.

Okay.

I love you.

You're gonna be okay.

I love you so much.

I love you.

You have to go now.

You know I love you.

I'm sorry, I have to leave your hand...

Lucas,

thanks for taking care of mom.

We took care of each other.

Yeah.

- Dad?

- Yeah.

There is something I didn't tell Mom,

and I really need her to know.

I have a family too.

I've been saving my strength...

Because I want to see them...

one more time.

No, no.

Oh, do you have to?

- We don't want you to feel any pain.

- I'm afraid to be asleep.

You're in good hands.

Close your eyes and

think of something nice.

Think of something nice.

Mom is okay, Lucas.

We're going home.

Mr. Bennett, I'm one of the customer holds

for the travel insurance.

We have sent to take care of your family.

There is nothing to worry about now.

In a few hours, we will be

at Singapore General Hospital.

Where your wife will receive

the best treatment in your living.

These people will take you into a plane.

I'll see you over there.

Have a safe flight.

Where are we going?

They take us to Singapore.

We'll be safe there, OK?

Oh, please take your seat!

We will be taking off shortly.

Okay.

- Can I just...
