(dramatic music)
(slow music)
- Flash! Flash!
(dramatic music)
Flash! Flash!
We have to get inside.
- We can't. The portal
won't just open for anybody.
- You have to wait for
the portal to open again.
- When will that be?
- When Grub and other pirates want it to.
- Let's just go, Fractal.
Jay can't cause us any harm
if we just leave them on the island.
- We can't wait for the pirates.
There's gotta be another door.
- Not even a window.
See, I been here before, Jay.
But go ahead. Look for yourself.
(slow music)
- This doesn't make sense.
- Nothing Grub does has
to make sense to us.
- What about Flash? He's
still trapped inside.
- I'm sure Flash will be
very happy as a pirate.
- And my dad?
Medea's cubes of destiny
say he's in there.
- Then I guess you
missed your chance, Jay.
Looks like you've come
to the end of the trail.
(slow music)
- Interesting.
But you said there were
no other doors here.
- Yeah, but this was never here before.
But I've seen it somewhere.
Jay?
(slow music)
- This is the door to my house.
(slow music)
(door knocking)
Flash, can you hear me? It's Jay!
- You're wasting your breath.
- This is the door to Nowhere.
Flash is gonna to have to
decide for himself to come out.
- That's where I saw this door
before, with Jay in Nowhere.
- Flash! Open up!
(door banging)
(Flash whistling)
Listen. It's Flash. He needs our help.
Alpha, help me.
- Have a seat, Mrs. Ziegler.
And what can I do for you?
- I want to collect on my
husband's life insurance.
- Well, why not call your
insurance agent? Why come to me?
- It's complicated, Mr. Bourne.
- This policy is over five years old.
- That's when Brad died.
- Why did you wait so long?
- Well, Brad drowned and the
police never found his body.
- Did you file a claim?
- Well, like I said, without
a body, it's complicated.
And at the time, it didn't seem to matter.
I was working and...
- I'm listening.
- I didn't need the money to live on.
And they said if I waited seven years.
- So what's changed? Why
can't you wait two more years?
- Well, now I need the money to pay
for our son's medical treatment.
- All right.
Let me ask you, how do you
know your husband is dead?
- The police said.
- But they never found his body.
- Well, with the wind and the tides,
it could have washed up anywhere.
- Do you have any other proof, a witness?
- He was out fishing with our son, Jay.
(slow music)
- The boy watched his father drown?
(slow music)
Well, that should be pretty conclusive.
- Jay's in a coma. I told
you it was complicated.
(dog barking)
(leaves rustling)
- Keith.
Hey, Kieth.
Where are you going?
- I've got things to do.
- Party time at Zombieville?
- Are we invited?
- Give me that.
- Boy, are you ever lucky.
He could have pounded you
for saying that stuff.
(Flash whistling)
(dramatic music)
(crowd cheering)
- Come on, Jay. Let's go.
Come on, boys. Hut! Hut!
Hey, listen, son. We're really
glad you could make it today.
- I wouldn't miss this
tournament for the world.
- Good, because we need you.
Now go on out there and have some fun.
Remember, son, it's a game.
That's why the umpire says.
- Play ball!
(organ music)
- All right. Come one
now. Quit chickening now.
Come on. Move in there.
Come on now, buddy.
You can do it now, buddy. Come on now.
Throw one in here. Come on
now. Trick this guy out.
(crowd cheering)
- That's the way to go, son.
That's the way to beat them back.
(crowd cheering)
- Hi, Keith. Jay was
starting to get worried.
- Sorry.
I got held up by a... At home.
- Well, at least you got the decorations.
Don't worry, Jay.
We've got plenty of time
before your mom gets here.
- Fractal, how could there suddenly
be a door to Nowhere here?
- Jay is just full of
surprises, isn't he, Medea?
- There's gotta be a key.
- Maybe if you let him
wear the Vest of Power?
(Medea laughing)
- You must be joking.
The Vest of Power is mine.
He didn't want it.
- What are you afraid of, Medea?
- Yeah. The vest worked the first time.
- Yes, Medea, when Jade briefly
disappeared from the tower.
Maybe if I talked to her
privately for a moment.
- Fractal, hurry. Please.
- Medea, give him the vest.
- Your experiments must have
fried your brain too, Fractal.
He's the wrecker. Who knows
what damage he can do?
- What happened the last
time he put on the vest?
He disappeared, right?
- For a while.
(dramatic music)
You mean this time we
get rid of him for good?
- That's right. Trap
him in Flash's Nowhere.
(dramatic music)
- I'm sorry, Jay.
You were right.
I was being foolish and petty.
(dramatic music)
- [Jay] Flash?
- So far so good.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
- Jay?
- [Jay] Alpha!
- Jay?
Jay?
- Flash, where are you?
- [Alpha] Jay? Jay, where are
you? Jay? Jay, where are you?
- Fractal?
- [Jay] Flash!
- Jay?
- [Jay] Flash?
- We had a deal, Jay.
Fractal?
- Medea?
- [Medea] Jay?
- Jay?
- [Medea] Fractal?
- Jay, where are you?
- [Medea] Fractal, where did you go?
- [Alpha] Jay?
- [Jay] Flash?
- [Alpha] Jay, where are you?
Jay?
(crowd cheering)
- Strike three!
- Flash.
- There's no one other team
I'd rather see batting in
this situation than you.
Just go on out there and make contact.
- [Flash] Yes, sir.
- Now hit the win the game for us, son.
(crowd cheering)
[Announcer] Young bat to the course,
the catcher, Keith Haldane.
(crowd cheering)
- [Crowd] Keith! Keith! Keith!
- You were right. You're brilliant.
- [Crowd] Keith! Keith!
Keith! Keith! Keith!
- [Fractal] Who's Keith?
- This is Flash's Nowhere.
- And Jay can't get out unless
Flash wants to go with him.
- [Crowd] Keith! Keith!
Keith! Keith! Keith!
- Flash!
Flash! Flash, come here.
- Time out!
- Jay, who's Keith?
- A kid I knew in the other world.
- A friend of yours?
- I hope so.
Flash, you can't stay here.
You have to come with me.
- Why? Isn't this the
world you talked about?
Where people taking care of kids?
- I guess it looks like it.
- So why can't we stay?
- This is Nowhere.
It looks like the life you want, but--
- Are you sure of that, Jay?
I mean, what are you offering
Flash that's any different?
Isn't this what you want, Flash?
- Flash, this isn't real.
- But the game, the team, they need me.
- I need you, to help me make this real.
- Batter up. Play ball, son.
- [Cheerleaders] Keith,
Keith, he's our batter.
If he can't do it, no one can.
(cheerleaders cheering)
- Keith, please. I can't do it for you.
You have to decide.
- [Crowd] Keith! Keith!
Keith! Keith! Keith!
- [Cheerleaders] Do it for
your dad. Do it for your mom.
We don't care. Just hit a home run!
- [Crowd] Keith! Keith!
Keith! Keith! Keith!
- All right. Come on now, Keith. Let's go.
- [Umpire] Play ball.
(crowd cheering)
It's gone, son. Run it out.
Hey, where are you doing?
- Hey, Keith! Run!
- Run!
- Run, Keith! Run!
- Yes, Flash. Let's go.
- [Boy] Hey, Keith! Run!
(crowd jeering)
- Thanks, man.
- It's okay. It was nothing.
- What's going on? Why are
you asking me what's going on?
What am I supposed to do about it?
- Hurry. We have to get out of here.
- [Umpire] He's gonna walk
off the field. He's gonna--
- You guys better figure this one out.
He can't just walk away.
(slow music)
- The police must have taken
a statement at the time.
- He was in shock. He didn't say anything.
- All right.
Your husband disappears,
the police think he drowned,
but there are no witnesses.
How do you know he's dead?
- I just know.
What are you trying to imply?
- Nothing. It's just
that people disappear.
- Well, Brad wouldn't. He didn't.
- You read about it all the time.
I mean, a guy tells his wife,
"I'm going down to the
corner to buy a paper, dear."
15 years later, he shows up.
He's running a hardware store
in Rocky Mountain House.
- Whose side are you on any way?
- The insurance company will stall.
They'll drag their feet.
It's nothing personal.
It might be easier for you to wait it out.
- Well, even if I could
wait it out, my son can't.
Listen, Mr. Bourne, if you
don't want the case, I'm--
- I just want to know
what you're getting into.
Now, if we're gonna beat these guys up,
I'm gonna need some details.
- Sure this is doing any good?
- If it doesn't, I'm
stumped. He'll never wake up.
- It just seems so weird.
I mean, who's gonna blow out the candles?
(dramatic music)
Let's get out of here right now.
- I don't know how.
There's only the stairs.
(slow music)
Alpha, what's wrong?
- Nothing.
Just something in the crystal.
It doesn't mean anything.
- What?
- You and me, only different.
Is that home? Was I there?
- It's some place like home.
I think.
- How could he leave Nowhere?
It was everything he wanted.
Any more bright ideas, Fractal?
- Don't touch the lamp.
It's the same crystal
as in the mind shaft.
It'll freeze your mind.
- Serves him right if it
turns him into a zombie.
(electric zapping)
(dramatic music)
- Jake!
(dramatic music)
What did you do to him, Medea?
- Dear Jay has left us again.
I believe you were right
about the Vest of Power.
- This could be my greatest breakthrough.
- Look, it's changing.
(magical music)
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, mom.
Chocolate cake?
- From scratch. Your favorite.
- [Jay] Is he back?
- Not yet, sweetie, but you
know he'll make it back in time.
Go on. He'll be here.
Hi, kids.
What's the celebration?
- Hi, Mrs. Ziegler.
Jay was wondering when you'd get here.
- And whose birthday is it? Yours, Keith?
(somber music)
No, it can't be. What are you two up to?
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday dear dad ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
- [Man] Hip-hip-hooray!
- You were going to celebrate
Jay's father's birthday?
What were you two thinking of?
- We're sorry, Mrs.
Ziegler. We just thought--
- You should've thought that Jay's father
has been dead for over five years.
- Jay reacts to stuff about his dad.
I thought this would be mega.
- It was a dumb idea.
(Jay groaning)
(dramatic music)
- Jay?
(Jay groaning)
- Come on, buddy. Give me a hand here.
We'll share it. Okay?
Make a wish, but don't tell anyone.
One, two, three.
(dramatic music)
- What's going on?
Let's get out of here!
- Jay, are you here?
My God, I can't believe it.
- Jay?
- Is he awake?
- Can you hear me?
Keith, go and get Dr. Oswald. Hurry.
I told you, Mrs. Ziegler. I
told you he was getting better.
(slow music)
- I knew you were coming back.
- God, baby, I was so worried about you.
There is so much to tell you.
Can you hear me?
- Of course, he can hear you. Look at him.
- Can you speak?
But if you can hear, me blink once.
(slow music)
(Val sobbing)
(slow music)
- Where's Jay? We can't leave without him!
- He's gone! Vanished!
- [Keith] But where?
- I warned him not to touch the crystal.
- Medea pushed him!
- Now let's not turn it.
We can think this through.
- Let's just get out of here, Fractal.
This isn't one of your
theories. This is for real.
(bulbs cracking)
(rocks crumbling)
- At least we can still get out.
- Yeah, but what about Jay?
