(exciting music)
- I can't believe Alpha ditched us
for those knobs in the tower.
- Forget it.
If that's how she really felt,
she can't have helped us anyway.
- If she was really one of us,
why did she believe that scrap of paper?
- You're the one who led us
to my dad's certificate of faith.
You found something in it to believe.
- It's not the paper we believe in.
We believe in you.
- We believe in the boy.
We've been waiting.
- Hey, wait a minute.
- There's not many of
us, but we're with you.
- Win some, lose some.
- Give in to your heart, Flash.
You know we believe what he believes.
Big people exist.
Come, I've got a surprise for you.
Come on, we're almost there.
- Isn't that what the wolf
said to Little Red Riding Hood?
(suspenseful music)
- [Jay] What is this?
- [Yudo] Isn't it great?
(suspenseful music)
- It's a campground, big deal.
(hammers pounding)
- I don't understand.
- You will, soon.
They're gonna come here.
(suspenseful music)
- What is this, Yudo?
- Fossils of the big people.
We discovered them here.
(wood knocking)
- Anybody home?
- Flash, wait.
That's my dad and my mom.
This is amazing.
Who are all those people?
- They're believers.
They've come from all over
to witness the great day
when big people return.
- Here?
How can you be so sure?
- I've got certain proof.
- Like what, been going
through trash bins again?
- Trash bins, garbage
dumps, whatever it takes.
- Ophelia?
- I see you've come for the great day.
- Yeah, I'm a believer.
- He's come to give you company
for your doubts, Lobelia.
So, what do you think?
See, didn't I tell you?
Come, come, Jay.
(group chattering)
- Is this for real?
- You haven't seen anything yet.
(group chattering)
- On the seventh hour of the seventh day
of the seventh month.
- July the seventh at seven a.m.
- On this hour, on this minute,
the big people will come.
- They will come, they will come.
- And how do we know?
- Because we've seen the proofs.
- And proofs we've been
given, proofs we can touch.
(crowd gasping)
- Watch this.
One, two, three, four.
- Wow.
- Hey, you tricked us.
Nice work.
- I closed my eyes and I could see.
I shut them tight and he came to me.
- The man, he saw the man.
- Yes, the man, and he said to me.
- Build me a place, I will come.
- [Boys] Build him a place, he will come.
(crowd chattering)
- Come on you guys, it's ready.
- What's to eat?
- Well, we've got apple
pie, your favorite, right?
- What is it?
- Yudo's fossils, these
things, they're from my family.
When did you see them, Yudo?
- My eyes were shut when I saw the man,
and now I have seen the final proof.
I've seen the key.
- When, Yudo?
- You know these things.
The boy who will bring
them to us has returned.
(crowd cheering)
- What key?
Show me.
(crowd cheering)
- Donna.
- Hi.
- What are you doing here?
- I don't know, nothing.
- I don't see why Jay's mom
won't let you see him
every day like before.
- She thinks my relationship
with Jay is weird.
Jay's used to me seeing him every day.
- I don't see what's weird
about helping a friend out.
I mean, we woke him up once, didn't we?
- I guess so.
It's like he's locked up
inside his body again.
- I guess we're just gonna
have to find the key,
something that will really shake him up.
- The man, the one you saw,
did he tell you to build this, too?
- I followed his instructions exactly.
Build a crystal case and
find the key to fit it.
- What's it for?
- For the one who has seen them, you.
- The one who has seen
him, the boy, the key.
Jerks.
- Hey, don't wreck it.
That's food.
- Sorry.
- You can help me carry these back.
- I'm not in a big hurry to get back.
- Well, I don't blame you,
but things could get out of control.
- What do you think he'll do
when the big people don't show up?
- He'll be crushed.
At first it was a game,
something fun for them to do.
But now I think Yudo believes it.
- Yudo's a pomegranate.
- Trouble is, the kids
will do whatever he says.
- Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
Come on.
- Not a good idea.
The crystal's very sensitive to touch.
- And you want me to go in there?
- The crystal will channel through you
and act as a doorway for the big people.
- The man told you this?
- Yes, and he told me to bring you here.
- I have to see him.
Where did he go?
- Back to where the big people are.
(suspenseful music)
- See you later.
- [Yudo] Admit it, Jay.
You know what this means.
- Don't do it, Jay.
This guy's a fruit loop.
- There's something going on here.
I need to find out.
Besides, he's the only one who
believes me, other than you.
- You calling me a nutcase?
- The believers trust him, Flash.
They believe in the same things I do.
What's so crazy about that?
- And if it doesn't work, Yudo?
What happens to him?
What happens to everyone
that believes in you?
- I take full responsibility for my acts.
Ready, Jay?
- You could freeze your brain in there.
Forget this, let's go.
- I can't, not if there's a
chance my dad will show up.
- Microfilm?
Oh, like spies use.
- The same.
Now you see this little reel?
It has a whole year's
worth of newspapers on it.
The worst thing that's
ever happened to Jay
wasn't him falling out of the tree fort.
- It wasn't?
- No, it was when his dad drowned.
- What happened?
- It happened just after school was out.
- So early July.
- July sixth, no, seventh.
- Nothing.
Wait a minute.
- Bingo.
- Former high school
swimmer Bradford Ziegler
is missing and presumed
drowned in a boating accident
at approximately seven
a.m. yesterday morning.
And Jay was there?
Didn't Jay ever tell you what happened?
- He never really talked about
it and I never really asked.
- Maybe we should ask him now.
- How?
- Maybe if we got him a copy of this.
- Oh no, I'm not allowed
in there 'til Thursday,
and you know that.
- Don't you ever break the rules?
- [Group] 11, 10, nine.
- Big people, hear us.
We wait.
We need your love, we need your comfort.
Now is the promised time.
Come!
(birds chirping)
- Where are your big people, Yudo?
- He promised.
In my dream, he.
- Well, this is the right day,
the right time.
- Something went wrong.
- Yeah, you.
- No.
It's just like the man said, even the key.
Unless the key is false.
- I want this more than any of you.
- He betrayed us.
- Wait, he wants this, but he
wants the man all to himself.
- No!
- Hey, you're blaming the wrong guy!
- [Yudo] Get him!
- I'm on your side, I want this to happen.
Let me out, I didn't do anything.
- Stop!
- Liar!
- Betrayer!
- Come on, stop it, leave him alone.
- No!
(electricity zapping)
(thunder rumbling)
- Jay?
He's gone.
- [Flash] Where did he go, Yudo?
(thunder crashing)
(crowd yelling)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder rumbling)
(crowd chattering)
- I warned you not to do this
Yudo, but you wouldn't listen.
- Don't be afraid.
Everything that's happened
is meant to be happening.
- You've done enough damage, Yudo.
- Yeah, why not just admit you were wrong?
- Wrong?
(Yudo yelling)
- He's having another vision.
- Stop it, Yudo.
- We are here, listen to us.
- It's the big people
talking through Yudo.
- Come to us.
- Now is the time!
- The key is damaged.
Clear the doorway.
- Don't listen to him.
He's flipped.
- Erase the unbeliever.
Clear the way.
- Erase the unbeliever.
- He is here, erase him, erase him.
- [Crowd] Erase him, erase him, erase him.
- Keith, I shouldn't be here.
- Jay man.
We have stuff to talk about.
Donna, come here, hurry.
- Jay!
- [Crowd] Erase him, erase him.
- The prophecy is only
as strong as our belief,
and our belief must always be tested.
(thunder rumbling)
And who destroyed the
pathway for the big people?
- Unbelievers.
- You kids are nuts!
- And what do we do if
a rock blocks the path?
- Remove it!
- The bottom of the well, a
good place for an unbeliever.
- Let me go.
- How many unbelievers will
you have to remove, Yudo?
- Right now, just one.
- And if that doesn't work?
It won't stop, will it?
It'll never stop!
- Which one of you would
like to clear the path
for the big people?
- I would, me, right here.
Me, me, me.
- Right there.
- [Keith] Can he really hear us?
- Of course he can.
Jay, you never told us your
dad was a champion swimmer.
- Jay, on the day your dad
drowned, July 7th, seven a.m.,
was there a strong current?
(tires crunching)
- Who is that?
I'm not supposed to be here this late.
- None of us are supposed
to be here this late.
- Shoot, it's Jay's mom.
- When the path is clear, they will come.
(group cheering)
Are you ready?
- Don't!
Do you believe in them
enough to kill someone?
- It's what the big people want.
- This isn't a game.
If you cut that rope, he'll drown.
- He'll clear the pathway
for the big people.
- If you think this is
such a great idea Yugo,
why let someone else do your dirty work?
Do it yourself.
- You want me to do it?
With pleasure.
(thunder rumbling)
I'll erase this unbeliever, like a bug.
- Yudo, look.
(suspenseful music)
- Good night Jay, see you tomorrow.
- Yeah me too, no, Thursday.
As soon as I can.
- Come on, come on, let's go.
Get over here, come on.
- Jay, you're awake.
Oh Jay, does anyone know?
Helen.
- [Helen] Yes, Mrs. Ziegler.
- Jay's awake again.
Can you call Dr. Oswald, please?
- [Helen] Right away.
- Well, now that you're here,
I'll talk to you for a minute.
It is so good to see you.
How are you?
Now, you remember I told you
about your father's life insurance.
I know it's hard sweetie,
but we have to do this.
We need the life insurance money.
It was awful, but I did it.
I signed the paper saying
that your father is dead.
Jay, it's important that we face facts.
Jay?
Jay, no, don't go, please.
Stay just a little while.
- This the time, Yudo?
(crowd muttering)
Here they are now.
- Take another look.
He's not so big.
- Yudo, let Flash go.
- Are the big people coming?
- Where are they?
- I don't understand.
- You've made the right choice, Yudo.
- Yeah, but what's he gonna do next?
- [Jay] You okay?
- Yeah, no sweat.
I knew he wouldn't go through with it.
- You saw her, the big person.
That was the mom.
- That was my mom.
- I had visions of kindness and caring.
- Would somebody gets
this guy a blindfold?
- I've seen my mistake.
The big people will still come.
- When, Yudo?
When will they come?
- It doesn't matter.
The big people have
shown us what we must do.
We must sleep until they come.
- Don't do this again.
- All we have to do is
put a hand on the crystal
and sleep like the Jay in the vision.
And when the big people
arrive, they will wake us.
Form a line.
Hark, you first.
- [Jay] Not a good idea, Yudo.
- One at a time.
- Don't, it'll turn you into zombies.
No one can wake you up after
you touched the crystal.
- You must touch the crystal.
It's the only way.
- But touching the crystal
won't bring them here.
- He's telling you the truth,
not just what you want to hear.
- Hark, he can't make you.
- I can't.
- You can't go, stop.
No, don't go.
Stop.
- It's okay, Yudo.
It's over.
They don't want to leave.
They just want to trust you again.
- Oh, baby.
We'll make it, won't we?
- If you ever need us, you
know where you can find us.
- We'll be there.
But you know I really did see the man,
and he told me about the ring.
- Don't start.
If that was home, why'd you come back?
- If I'm ever gonna find
my dad, I'll find him here.
- Oh, so saving me had
nothing to do with it.
- Well, maybe a little.
(soft music)
(bell ringing)
(exciting music)
- I can't believe Alpha ditched us
for those knobs in the tower.
- Forget it.
If that's how she really felt,
she can't have helped us anyway.

We'll make it, won't we?
- If you ever need us, you
know where you can find us.
- We'll be there.
But you know I really did see the man,
and he told me about the ring.
- Don't start.
If that was home, why'd you come back?
- If I'm ever gonna find
my dad, I'll find him here.
- Oh, so saving me had
nothing to do with it.
- Well, maybe a little.
