(suspense music)
- You got to believe me, son.
I came as soon as I could.
- Why?
He said you were in a coma. I didn't know.
You could speak.
It's great to get away,
But we gotta talk.
I gotta tell you what really happened.
- I know
Well, you know,
you remember
Good
Shove over and I'll tell you why.
I didn't want to leave you and your mom.
You understand?
I had no choice.
Sometimes you start something,
You just can't walk away from.
(music)
- She said, he'd meet us
in our side. Then you will.
- You always came back before.
- But this time we found his dad.
That's why he came here.
- Should they have
already left to come home?
- Maybe, but even if that's true,
- why not?
- That monitors are found to be after us?
- Not afraid of the monitors.
- Who cares? Whoever they are.
They're friends of mine.
they're afraid of big people.
You're not supposed to be here.
- You think we are big people?
- You want to go on being
Supreme ruler. Metro,
we have to talk.
I've lost a dozen
patrols in the last week.
- We don't know where they are.
- Of course I know where
they are. You bloop.
They've deserted joined other clubs.
It's an Ana key out there.
- There is no loyalty anymore.
- And without loyalty,
the social fabric shreds
like old sneakers.
I've heard about this.
It happens when the big people are around.
- And what are you doing about it? Finger?
- Well,
I'm not wasting my time
building some cubic triangle,
- I guess that's why
I'm Supreme commander.
I've planned.
- Kids are more free to big
people than they are a bust.
They'll be loyal forever.
Tiny room saves them.
- So
- I'll have to do show them the truth
- very clever.
And what's that?
- If they're already saved,
this will be the dads too.
- You have the dad's body
show me.
- Well, not exactly yet,
- But I will.
When the time comes.
- Hurry up.
You're beyond. You have
to be ready for the dad.
- I had to make everyone
believe and I was gone for good.
- Why?
- There are people in this
world who make their living,
helping other people fight wars.
They don't care. What side is right?
They don't care. What side is wrong?
It's just business.
They sell weapons.
They sell secrets.
They even sell people and they
will do anything to protect
their business.
Before you were born.
It was my job to hunt those
people down and put them in
jail.
After you came along,
I had to change my life.
You and your mama too precious to me.
So I resigned.
I got a regular job sales
weekends off holidays.
You know,
I even got to use my own name.
I didn't want to live in
the shadows anymore. Jay,
I just made one mistake.
I thought I could quit.
If I wanted to
that last fishing trip,
that was how I wanted it to be.
That was what I want
you and me together on our own.
Except we weren't.
It took me a while to realize
that somehow after five years,
what has to caught up with me,
I didn't want it to catch up with you.
- What's going on?
- It looks just like Mac room.
- When we more lively
- Bomber, no more tower broadcasts.
- Don't you see
the tower is losing
its grasp in the world.
- We don't have to hide
from Macro anymore.
- It means a lot more than that.
We can get rid of him.
- Just the three of us.
- Well, I haven't got all
the details worked out yet,
but I know they'll never
be a better chance.
- Yeah.
Well I sure hope we get the
details before we get to the
tower.
- Perfect.
- The world will know.
And remember that I saved
it from the big people.
And from the record
me
Macro.
- Kids will visit here from all over
just to be reminded what
I did for them.
- Nice light show.
But where's the body
they're going to want proof.
- The old habeas Corpus,
a finger
- don't joke with me fractal
Without a body,
nobody's going to believe anything.
- Oh yes they will.
It'll be here.
- I think of something in a hurry.
I mean, I couldn't take a
chance now with you there.
Make it a break for,
I only hope was to keep
everything looking normal.
- Yeah.
Tomorrow out by the lighthouse.
I'll be at first light.
Yeah. I left the car at the
garage and the guy at the desk.
I gotta go.
Yeah. Great.
- Okay
- Excellent.
Give me the ride there.
I'll put the killer.
Laura.
How about this one?
- Yeah
- There was only one thing I
could think of that would save
you and mom
knew it was dangerous,
but I had to make them believe
that I was already dead.
(kids singing and selling)
- Hey,
what are all these kids doing here?
- They're here to see the dead
Michael's gone.
When the pyramid who's dead.
- He can't be.
- We just saw him
- How do you know say he is dead.
Michael was gone on this plane
so we can see that we're safe
from big people.
- What about us?
Are you afraid of bus?
The other big people.
- You guys are big people.
Marco says there's only
one. He's dead now.
- Wait a second.
We have to figure out
what's going on here.
Have you seen a dead body?
- open up,
- Back off? No pushing.
- We want to see the body.
- The big and our stability
Isn't open yet.
Not till Macro says.
- We want to see the dead.
We want to see the body.
- Now.
What if there isn't even a body?
- What if he isn't really dead?
- We want to see the dead now .
- Where's your body Macro.
- I don't know.
You're as bad as they are.
You can't,
brush these things.
It'll turn up.
- Yeah, I hope so.
You got about a zillion,
frantic kids out there
waiting to beat forever loyal.
- I had to convince them
that I was really dead
or they would
have come after you and mom.
I couldn't ask you straight out.
I was worried that you'd be scared.
I just had to hope you keep my secret.
Even from her.
Take care of your mom , son.
Come on.
Even if I had asked you,
no one could have kept
my secret any better.
Come on.
(music)
I guess you had to grow up pretty fast.
Look at you.
Juice there. Your mom is going to be just,
thrilled.
I saw you guys tonight on TV
at some party,
she was dancing around
with a nice looking fella.
She's just as pretty as ever.
Someone's coming.
I can't let anyone know
I'm here, not right now.
One day I'm going to come
back and I'm going to stay.
Right now, it's too dangerous for.
Can you keep a secret again?
See Jay,
- Yelling Dad
- You get right back into bed.
You can't have hurting yourself.
- I guess you're relaxed finger.
Now take a look at this finger.
- Hold
- Take a look at this
- I want to see
- What happened to him?
- He looks dead.
- Eyes face.
- You think he got too?
- He didn't want Jay
just to stand.
- What are you doing?
- Checking to see if he's really dead.
- Get away from there.
You kids.
- As soon as you came out.
The good news is
that he got out of bed last night and
he's trying to speak,
but he's not making much sense.
Okay?
This is just to relax. CJ.
Your mom is on her way.
- You can have stability.
- Sorry. Fractal.
- What are you doing here?
- Hello Macro.
- Dear.
Would you like a souvenir
of my finest moment?
Flash alpha.
- The only one missing
here is our old friend.
- Jay
- I told you it be us.
- How did you do that?
- That possibly an inter-dimensional
gap in the space, time,
- Shut up.
What's going on?
I thought that was supposed
to be taken care of.
That was the deal.
- Where were you?
- In the other world.
- But that's Impossible.
- Nothing bad happened.
No earthquakes.
or storms or
- I have a theory.
I call it the theory of relatives.
Even though Jay was gone. If
his dad was here, something.
- My dad is here
where?
- I can take a Macro,
please.
- Not yet.
I want to enjoy this first.
- Let me direct your attention
to my beacon of stability.
- What's your, dad's too
- Macros.
His body preserving like a big pickle.
- Don't believe everything. You see flash.
I want to talk to him.
- Well.
- He won't be very good for small talk,
but I don't see why not.
On one condition.
You go back to wherever you came from
the other world.
You have a side of the wall wherever
and leave us alone for good.
- Fine by me.
- We'll be waiting for
you when you come out.
- You don't have to.
- I know, but we will.
- Are you scared?
- I'm mad.
Yeah. I'm scared.
I'm afraid that this time I'm too late.
If he's dead, this won't take long.
- You don't know when to quit do yet.
I thought I left you up there.
- I'm not staying up.
- There without you.
- Well, you can't stay here.
It's too dangerous.
There are people after me.
Remember ice face?
- Yeah.
- Macro offered to save me from ice space.
If I got ready of you.
- That's the best you
can do a deal with Macro
Dad, you're slipping.
Last time,
It took me five years to find you.
- Yeah,
well maybe I didn't trust more this time.
- So what do we do now?
- Or what are my choices?
- Okay. Who says you get
to decide all by yourself.
- Oh, is he max?
What's going on?
He woke up in the night.
Marta found him standing by the window.
- Really?
Why is he strapped down?
- So he won't hurt himself.
Val. He was so agitated.
I had to give him a mild sedative.
- Without me? No,
you can't do that now.
What is going on max?
- Val, relax.
Hey son,
How's it going?
No, no, honey.
That's Arthur.
Remember?
- Dad.
He called me that too.
- No dad.
- That's right.
I'm not your dad. Jay.
Going to be okay, Jay.
- We could go home.
- Up there.
Now. We couldn't be together.
I'd still have to lay low.
You mum, starting a new life without me.
You think she's going to be
thrilled to see me back on the
scene.
- Why don't you ask her?
Maybe that's what she wants.
- No,
that's what you want.
You're just a kid.
You want a dad? That's from
some breakfast commercial.
- If that means the dad
is going to stay put.
- Yeah, that's what I want.
- All right. I'm going in there.
How long does it take
to look at a dead guy?
Not long case says
- Show a little respect finger.
- We can afford to be
generous. We have everything.
- You're right, Macro.
Did you mean
Jay's out of there.
Where history
- outta here.
- Like yesterday's lunch.
- Why don't
we stay here
together forever.
We could be the new Lords supremo man.
We could fix this place up, Jay.
I can't go back.
- But I have to.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm not going to leave without you
- You got a problem.
- If I came all this way to find you,
I'll find a way to get you home.
- You don't quit. Do you?
- Just because it's hard to live with you.
It doesn't mean you want
to live without you.
- Where is he?
- What's taken so long.
- I warned you.
I don't trust him.
- No, no, no, no.
This is impossible.
He promised. Where they go?
- No Earthquakes.
They are still here.
