Wish Upon Page #5

---

an airman by the name of Arthur Sands.

That's him.

He was stationed in China

at the end of World War ll.

A few years later he opened up a

very successful car dealership in Jersey.

He lost his best friend in a freak accident.

Here's the kicker.

That's him six months later.

Oh, my God!

After his suicide,

his wife was institutionalized.

She swore a music box

had destroyed her family.

In the last five years or so...

the box resurfaced again in Cleveland,

with a man named Lawrence Hart.

He wins the lottery, marries his high

school sweetheart and has two daughters.

A perfect life.

Until people around him start dying off.

His daughters drowned,

his wife died in a car accident

and Hart lost his mind.

He barricades himself in his house and

that's where he dies, in a massive fire.

You know what's weird?

What's left of his estate is

a few blocks from your house, Clare.

There was another phrase on the box

I don't think you saw.

It was a warning.

"After seven wishes,

the Yaoguai claims the soul."

(SCREAMS)

That's its final price.

(PHONE BEEPS REPEATEDLY)

- Hey.

- What?

How many wishes have you made?

I've made five wishes.

Jesus, Clare.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm sorry, but...

"But" how is there a "but?" People are dead!

It was just nice to be normal for a while.

That's your excuse?

What'd you wish for, anyway?

- That nice house?

- No.

Oh now, bullshit! People are dead, Clare.

You can't just wish that away.

You can't take that back.

I know, and I said I was sorry.

I didn't know that any of this would happen.

Know what I wish?

I wish I never met you. That's what I wish.

It's my fault.

And I know that I have to get rid of it.

Will you please help me?

Please, Ryan?

(SIGHS)

Okay, let's do it.

Okay.

(METALLIC CLANG)

(YELLS)

B*tch!

(PANTS)

She was my best friend, Clare.

I'm sorry.

(FAINT TINKLING)

(SCREAMS)

What are you doing here?

PAUL :
Why haven't you answered my texts?

You need to leave right now.

What if I said...

I don't want to live without you.

And I don't want you...

to live without me.

Please. Just, just leave.

- So, we're done?

- Oh, my God!

Yes.

(GASP)

I love you, Clare.

(SCREAMS)

RYAN :
Where is it?

CLARE :
What, what do you mean?

I don't know.

It's...

I don't know. It was right there last night.

It was right in there. I...

Oh...

What does that mean?

I...

Maybe it's done with you.

Maybe it's over.

Well, what now? What would I do? What...

You move on with your life.

You can do it.

That's easy to say, Ryan.

No, it's easy to wish.

I liked it. I liked having it.

It made me feel special.

Is there anything you wished for

that you can't live without?

- No.

- See, you don't need it.

(DOOR BELL RINGS)

Dad?

What's going on?

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

It's unbelievable. I mean, who forgets

to pay their taxes for ten years?

Your mother's crazy Uncle August.

Well, here we are.

Home sweet home.

# You're a curse #

# A disease, and I caught it #

# Like a drug, slowly pulsing #

Happy birthday, Clare.

# And I don't want it anymore #

# My feet on the dash, take a drag #

# I go round #

You've gotta be f***ing kidding me.

# Wondering why you don't gain #

# I'll stay this way for longest way #

Recycle first.

Gross.

Mmmm, hot.

# You're going somewhere, #

# You're going nowhere #

# They're always telling you, #

# You're going somewhere #

# You're going nowhere #

# You're going somewhere, #

# You're going nowhere #

# They're always telling you #

# You're going somewhere, #

# You're going nowhere #

You stole it?

You couldn't get rid of it.

You saw what it did to Meredith.

I'm just trying to protect you, okay?

Okay, so you think that you can control it.

You think you can, Clare?

Really?

Are you crazy?

Why would you bring it here

in the first place?

'Cause I have two little sisters at home.

Give it back. Right now.

After everything that's happened?

Yes, June.

What's wrong with you?

No! Clare, no, stop it. Clare!

You see what it's done. This is a bad idea.

- June, go away.

- Stop, listen to me! Just stop!

Clare, come on! No, no, no. Clare, come here.

- Just give it to me, Clare. Stop.

- Let go, June!

- Let go! Let go!

- RYAN :
Clare?

- RYAN :
Clare!

- JUNE :
No!

June?

June? Is she going to be okay?

What is wrong with you?

Clare?

- Go away!

- I thought we were done with this.

I'm not ready yet.

You can't keep it. You know that.

- You have to get rid of it!

- You don't understand.

I'm not ready yet!

What about everything we talked about?

I won't wish anymore, okay?

Okay, it'll be fine. I just won't wish.

I'm gonna hang on to it for a while.

Clare, please, you're not hearing yourself.

You can't control it. It's controlling you!

Go away! Okay?

Please go away.

I have two wishes left

and if you do not go away,

I will use one on you,

I swear I'll use it on you.

Go away!

You can't keep running from this!

I know, I know what to do.

(PHONE RINGS)

I know, I know what to do,

I know when to... Okay.

Okay.

(PHONE STILL RINGING)

If I had... No.

If I just don't make any more wishes,

everything will be fine.

(HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER)

Everything will be fine.

DAD :
Clare? School just called.

(PHONE RINGS)

DAD :
Clare? What's going on?

Get down here!

Okay.

I have two wishes left.

I have two wishes left.

Two wishes.

I wish my mother never committed suicide.

Oh, God.

(KNOCKING)

MOM :
Clare?

(DOOR OPENS)

Mom?

Mom?

I missed you so much!

You missed me so much? What?

TWINS :
Happy birthday! We got you cake!

- Sssh!

- And presents!

Okay, come on. What's the holdup?

Downstairs, kiddo. Chop-chop.

(DREAMLIKE MUSIC PLAYING)

Al'right. Here it is.

TWINS :
Yay!

# Happy birthday... #

# Happy birthday... #

Happy birthday, kiddo.

Thank you, Dad.

Make a wish.

MOM :
Clare?

I'm up here.

Come open your presents.

Okay.

(BELL TOLLS)

(BELL TOLLS)

Mommy! Come on, Max!

(ROPE CREAKS)

(SCREAMS)

This is your fault.

This is your fault. Everything is your fault.

Oh, my God!

(OMINOUS ORIENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

What?

(MUSIC BOX MUSIC PLAYING)

(CHAIN SAW ENGINE REVVING)

No. No!

Yeah, right there is good.

- Yeah.

- CARL :
You think so, man?

No, no, no, no!

Dad! Dad!

- CLARE :
Dad!

- (INTENSE CHAINSAW DRONING)

- Dad!

- (SQUELCHING)

(STRANGLED SCREAM)

- CARL :
Oh, my God! My God!

- No!

CARL :
Jon!

No...

CLARE :
Argh!

- No!

- Are you...

What happened? Are you...

MOM :
Jonathan! No!

MOM :
No! No!

(MOM SCREAMING)

(GROWLS)

I've got one wish left.

I know how to beat you!

I wanna go back!

I wanna go back before I got you!

I wanna go back.

My final wish is I wanna go back

to the morning my dad found you.

I wanna go back right now!

(GASPING)

- (MAX WHINES)

- Max?

Hi, Max!

Mmm... hi.

Oh, who's a good boy!

(KEYS JINGLING)

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait! Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Wait! Hang on, hang on!

MEREDITH :
I'm not awake right now.

- What do you want?

- Nothing. Hi.
