These Final Hours Page #4

Puzzles?

Yeah. Good girl. Yeah.

There you go. Good? Yeah?

OK?

We're gonna see Dad.

You know what pisses me off

the most, James?

I already did this.

I already said goodbye to you

a number of times.

More than once.

And you had to turn up for real.

Sorry, Mum.

Don't be.

It's a good thing

what you're doing for her.

You better go.

Go on.

Good luck

with the puzzle, Mum.

South-East Asia's gone.

All of it's gone.

My brother Steve's

in Thailand.

Steve-O.

I'm glad we got to

have that chat

before the phones

went down.

Hope you were

somewhere beautiful, bro.

Over.

Sorry, James.

What for?

That woman said

she'd take me to Aunty Janice's.

I shouldn't

have listened to her.

I keep getting you

into trouble.

No, no, no.

Don't be silly.

Alright? It's over now.

Don't be upset, alright?

You don't want your dad

to see you upset, do you?

- No.

- No.

You're a tough chick.

- Say it.

- I'm a tough chick.

- I didn't hear you.

- I'm a tough chick.

- I don't believe you.

- I'm a tough chick!

What happened

to your girlfriend?

Things didn't work out.

You broke up?

Yeah.

She was pretty

but not... that pretty.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

She was weird.

Thought you'd have had

a much nicer girlfriend than that.

Come on, James. Everyone's here!

Dad! Dad, I'm here!

Dad, it's me! Dad!

I'm here! Come on, guys,

it's me! Aunty Janice!

It's me! I'm here! Dad!

Where are you, Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, it's me!

Dad!

Dad?

Dad!

Dad?

- Hello?

- Dad!

Maybe they're

over at the pond.

Dad! Hello!

Hello? Dad?

- Aunty Janice!

- Hello!

Dad!

James?

- Rose!

- James.

- They're not here.

- You OK?

- They're not anywhere.

- Stop.

Did you find anyone?

Um...

- Rose, you can't go over there.

- Let me get past!

Rose, please.

Please. Come on.

Why not?

Why not?

You can't go down there

'cause they're...

...dead.

- Dad! Dad!

- Hey! Hey!

Rose! Rose! You can't!

You don't know

what he looks like!

- Please, I need to see him.

- He's there, Rose. Stop!

Put me down!

Put me down, please!

- Put me down!

- Hey, sit.

- Sit down.

- Please!

I'm sorry. Rose. Rose!

I need to see him.

I need to make sure.

OK.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I love you.

- Rose? Rose.

- No!

- Now, come on.

- No. I don't want to go.

- Rose, he's dead.

- I'm not leaving him.

- Come on.

- No!

Come on, Rose.

Come on. Let's go.

- No, don't.

- Come on. Let's go.

Arggh!

What?

Dad wanted us to be together

when it happened.

This is where

I need to be, James.

With Dad.

I'm sorry.

I wish you could have

met my dad.

It was in your dad's pocket.

I remember this day.

It was her birthday.

Dad got the waiters

to sing 'Happy Birthday' to her.

She looked

really embarrassed,

but I think

she secretly liked it.

You know,

I'd have been a dad, Rose.

Was that woman at the party

pregnant?

Not her.

Someone else.

Is she prettier

than the other one?

Yeah.

Then how come

you're not with her?

'Cause I messed things up.

I've messed

a lot of things up, Rose.

What did you do?

I left her all alone.

There's still time.

OK.

Sorry I bit you.

It's OK.

See ya.

See ya.

James.

I'm gonna watch you

until I can't see you anymore.

Can you watch me too?

Until you can't see me?

Sure.

Ladies and gents,

I'm sure you can all hear

that rumble in the air.

We've got

just under an hour.

I just...

...just don't know

what to say.

I'm trying to think

of something poetic.

It's coming.

It's coming.

No! No! No, no, no, no! No!

No! No!

No!

Maybe it's nothing more

than hope.

Or maybe

we'll see each other again.

Well, wouldn't that

be something?

Wouldn't that be something?

Zoe!

Zoe! Zoe!

Zoe.

Zoe!

I'm here.

- Don't you touch me.

- I'm here.

- Don't you f***ing touch me!

- Zoe!

- I'm sorry. Zoe!

- You left me alone!

I'm sorry. Zoe. I'm sorry.

- You left me!

- I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. I'm here!

I love you so much.

I'm sorry.

I'm here.

I love you so much.

I love you.

- I love you.

- I love you.

It's beautiful.
