Wristcutters: A Love Story Page #5

Mom?

I found him! I found him!

I found Kneller's dog!

I found Freddy!

Yan, what happened to you?

Messiah King lives

at the other side of the forest,

and he's holding Kneller's dog captive.

What?

And so many people are there,

Iike, hundreds to witness the miracle

he's gonna perform tomorrow.

Freddy's performing miracles?

No. Messiah.

But not like our miracles.

A planned, significant miracle.

Here. You're bleeding.

Well, what about Freddy?

How's Freddy?

Yan, is Freddy okay?

Freddy's fine.

They feed him T-bone steak,

and he refuses to come back.

Freddy's been brainwashed.

We're driving over there right now.

I only know how to get there on foot.

How far is it?

I'm not sure. I got lost on the way,

but five, six hours, I'd say.

All right, first thing in the morning.

Hey, do you guys mind

if Zia and I tag along with you?

Why? You guys are dying to see miracle

that a**hole's gonna perform?

Yeah, I wanna go.

T- bone?

Damn.

Uh, Yan, you sure

we're going the right way?

We've been six hours or so.

Yes. We should be there soon.

I think.

I don't know what happened.

I was sure we'd find it before dark.

Actually, I think it's a good sign.

I mean, you got lost last time, right?

Yeah. You're right.

That's a really good sign.

I hope we at least find

our way back to the camp.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

I mean, I have no clue where we are.

We've been hiking for,

like, 12 hours straight.

I mean, I don't really know

how fast we've been going-

What?

- Shh!

- What?

Listen. Listen. Listen.

Do you hear that?

Yeah, but...

it sounds like a-

Holy sh*t.

Let's go.

How come no one in camp

ever mentioned the beach is so close?

Maybe they don't know.

Maybe we're the only ones who know.

Hi.

You remember the other day

when you were talking

about missing things

from life and, uh...

how you wanted to go back

and I told you I didn't miss anything?

Yeah.

Well...

when I'm here...

with you, I kind of miss myself

the way I used to be.

What were you like?

I was- I was happy at a time.

Obviously before I came here, but-

Yeah.

... something about

being here with you

reminds me of that.

It's just, I don't know,

it's just weird to me

that you can feel that

in a place like this.

We're all- We're all dead.

You know what?

Most the people that I knew before I got here

were either half dead

or just completely dead already.

You know, completely dead.

And you're doing pretty good, Zia.

You think so?

Yeah, definitely.

Freaking out.

F***. Mik, get up.

Oh, my God. Oh, God.

There they are.

I've just been worried sick about you.

Careful. Careful. Don't step on it.

Put your shoes on.

I hope you didn't sleep here.

Well, yeah.

This is where intravenous drug users

and prostitutes congregated.

It was too revolting for them.

Can we get the hell out of here?

Yeah. Careful.

I hope Yan doesn't get lost.

Yan's already lost.

Sh*t.

Yan!

We're never gonna

make it anywhere now.

I found it! I found it!

Where?

Right over the hill. It's real close.

Come on, there's music

and cold drinks and dancing girls.

Excuse me.

Who's in charge here?

The King, of course.

Can you believe how privileged we are?

Hmm. Why is that?

Because of the miracle.

He will actually separate

his body from his soul.

Actually, we're just

looking for our dog.

Guys, I think you should come.

Why? What's going on?

Kneller's with the King,

and he's raising hell.

Come on.

Raising hell? Yan, wait.

That dog came to me.

Begged me to be part

of what we're doing here.

Everybody knows that's my dog.

Nobody owns a dog.

You kidnapped that dog.

Those are very

serious charges, friend.

We need to speak to the Messiah.

He's in a meeting.

He's with my friend.

What the hell do you

think you're doing?

That dog's never been on a leash.

That dog wanted to be

on that leash.

Zia?

Desiree.

My God.

Oh, my God, I can't believe it's you.

I can't believe it's you.

You look absolutely the same.

Well, almost, right? But you do.

I mean, you haven't changed your hair.

I always-

I know, you love this haircut.

- Yeah.

- I remember.

I remember. How are you, Zia?

I'm good.

Can we deal with

the dog business here?

All right, let's deal with the dog.

We are going to deal with the dog.

Don't do that.

You're confusing the dog.

What's your name, Honeysuckle?

Come on, Freddy. Come on.

Treat. Treat.

The dog has spoken.

I'm tired, and I need to concentrate.

I'll see you at the ceremony.

It's gonna be a hell of a show.

And then, after you offed,

I just cried and cried.

And I had to leave town

because everything reminded me of you.

Trust me. I never knew

how much I hurt you

until you were gone.

Oh, thank God.

Thank God I can finally

ask you to forgive me.

King. King?

He was a real friend.

He got me out of town,

and I started to get

more and more into his teachings,

and I just stopped crying.

So then King was supposed to separate

his body from his soul

so he could discover

the other, better world

and come back

and show everyone the way.

'Cause you know he believes

we're all trapped

in the world of the living.

But something went terribly wrong,

and his soul never made it back.

So at the hospital,

when they confirmed his death...

I heard his soul calling me,

and I just knew-

I knew I had to be with him, so-

...I took the elevator

to the hospital roof...

and flew.

Oh.

Oh, God, time flies with you, Zia.

Let's go. King's about to begin.

And this time, I know...

He's gonna make it.

Come on. I have to help King prepare.

You two made up, huh?

Well, I forgive, but I don't forget.

What keeps happening to Yan?

Have you seen Mikal?

Last time I saw her,

she was talking to the big guy up there

about, you know, going home

and people in charge and the usual.

Right. What'd he tell her?

He said, " I'm taking you all

to a better place. "

A**hole.

Don't be alarmed, friends.

The vessel will die soon,

and the spirit will rise.

The first time was only a test...

a precursor to the real thing.

Why don't you just tell her?

Tell her what?

Tell her that you love her.

Don't be afraid when I leave.

You do, don't you?

For I will be back to save you all.

It's too far. She won't hear.

What is he doing?

He's bluffing.

Nobody would do that twice.

You know how much that hurts.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

We're at the compound.

I need backup.

Come right now.

This guy's gone crazy.

Everyone, look! There he is!

He's coming. He's coming.

They're- They're coming.

Kneller.

Blessings. Blessings.

He's gonna show us the way.

Everyone, keep your hands

lifted up to King.

See us for bruises! Go home!

Everybody, go home!

Everybody, go home!

Move! Move! Move! Go! Move! Move!

Everybody disperse. This is the P.I. C.

Go immediately. Everyone.

King? Wait.

Who are you? No, no, no!

King! King!

Please disperse immediately.

Please disperse.

- Yan.

- What the f*** is going on?

I don't know. Have you seen Mikal?

She was right here a second ago.
