Wristcutters: A Love Story Page #6

Synopsis: Despondent over his breakup with Desiree, Zia slashes his wrists and goes to an afterlife peopled by suicides, a high-desert landscape dotted by old tires, burned-out cars, and abandoned sofas. He gets a job in a pizza joint. By chance, Zia learns that Desiree offed herself a few months after he did, and she's looking for him. He sets off with Eugene (an electrocuted Russian rocker) to find her, and they pick up a hitchhiker, Mikal, who's looking for the People in Charge, believing she's there by mistake. They're soon at the camp of Kneller, where casual miracles proliferate. They hear rumors of a miraculous king. Can Zia find Desiree? Then what? Where there's death there's hope.

Please disperse.

This is the People In Charge.

Where's Kneller?

I don't know. I'll be right back.

This is the P.I. C.:

the People In Charge.

I repeat:
P.I. C.

People In Charge.

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Evacuate immediately.

Zia! Zia, I'll be back in five minutes.

Please leave immediately.

What are you guys doing here?

Came to pick you up, man.

Yan tell you what happened?

Kneller did.

Is Mikal with him?

No.

Did he mention anything about her?

Not to me. Jump in.

I can't. I gotta stay here

and wait for her.

How long you gonna wait, man?

She's an adult.

She'll find her way back.

What's Freddy doing here?

Get in, d*ckhead.

We have a train to make.

Train?

Get in.

So Kneller never did actually kill himself.

No, of course not.

He was working for

the People In Charge.

Undercover.

I always had a feeling

he was an angel or something.

An angel? Come on.

Well...

So now that he blew his cover,

he'll be transferred

out of the undercover unit.

Transferred? Where's he going?

Don't know. Wherever

the People In Charge operate.

Looks like that's it.

So camp is totally over?

Yup.

Turns out Kneller ran it completely illegally.

And on the P.I. C. property, no less.

So what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

I'm definitely gonna go back to camp

and wait for Mikal,

but after that, I guess I'll see.

You'll see?

What?

Listen.

I didn't want to tell you this.

According to Kneller, in the middle

of that whole Messiah hassle,

Mikal talked to one of

those P.I. C. guys and-

and asked him to check her file.

And I know it sounds crazy,

but it turns out there really was

some kind of mistake,

and it looks like they'll be sending her back-

back to life.

It's a good thing, you know?

'Cause she gets to go back.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It is.

I mean, it's what she wanted, so...

T ake care of her.

Bye, Nanuk.

Come here.

See you, man.

Hey, don't forget to give

that package to my folks.

They went to the North Pole

or whatever the place

Nanuk is from is called.

He wanted to meet her family

and get into that throat singing,

saw playing, weird instruments,

and all that stuff.

It's good that he's back into music, I think.

And me?

I think I finally understand

what Kneller was trying to say.

It only happens if it doesn't matter.

It comes without effort.

Maybe Eugene's right.

Maybe I only get stuck on girls

I don't have a chance of being with.

I am glad for Mikal, though.

I hope she got her visa

all straightened out.

I mean, she did say

she'd be right back.

Then again, Eugene's old wisdom

is when a girl says that,

she never does actually come back.

So I don't know. Go figure it out.

Zia, you are one lucky son of a b*tch.

Pays to know people

in high places, huh?
