- Hi.

- Hi, Henry.

Mark, I have something

to show you in the shed.

You want to? Go ahead.

I'll put these away, OK?

So what are you guys up to out there?

Sorry, Mom. Top secret.

Look, I'm sorry about the dog.

It was an accident.

You don't think I'd do a thing

like that on purpose now, do you?

- So what d'you wanna show me?

- I want you to meet somebody very special.

- Who is he?

- Mr Highway.

Wow. What are you gonna do with him?

It depends.

- On what?

- On you.

- Whether or not you'll help me.

- Help you?

I promise you something amazing...

...something you'll never forget.

Are you in?

Where are we goin'?

We're here.

Here. Help me rest him up here.

OK.

Come on, Mr Highway. Take a look.

Poor Mr Highway.

He's thinking about the end.

He's had enough of this terrible life.

- What?

- Say goodbye.

No!

Come on. Let's go.

I didn't know. I didn't know.

- You didn't tell me. How could you do that?

- Shh. Just be quiet.

Do you know what you did?

Hey, come on. We did it together.

You could have killed people.

- With your help.

- Hey, I didn't know you were gonna do that.

I feel sorry for you, Mark.

You just don't know how to have fun.

- What?

- It's because you're scared all the time.

I know. I used to be scared, too.

- But that was before I found out.

- Found out what?

That once you realise

you can do anything, you're free.

You could fly.

Nobody can touch you.

Nobody.

Mark...

...don't be afraid to fly.

You're sick.

Hey, I promised you something amazing,

something you'll never forget.

Where's the gratitude?

- The largest one.

- The largest one? Ready?

Can you catch this?

Where'd it go?

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm here at Route 233 on

the outskirts of Rock Harbor...

...where today there was a ten-car accident.

Lieutenant Holman of the Rock Harbor

police said it was a miracle...

...no one was seriously injured. Four people

were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

They have since been released. This is

Andrea Hall reporting. Back to you, Bob.

Go ahead, tell him. Or better yet,

why don't we tell him together?

"It was Mark, Dad. He talked me into it."

"We were just playing a game. I had no idea

he was gonna do something like that."

"Please, go easy on him. It's not his fault

he's all screwed up cos he misses his mom."

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

Dad, Mark has something to tell ya.

- What is it? What's wrong with Mark?

- I don't know. He's been acting pretty weird.

I better go see if he's OK.

I told my dad I'd see if you were OK.

Well, are you OK, Mark?

Leave me alone.

Leave you alone? This is my room.

Guess what? Mom says

we can go skating tomorrow.

Connie, what did I tell you
