(upbeat music continues)
(thunder roars)
(music fades)
(soldiers running)
- Right, you two go over
there. You go over there.
Gotta be around here somewhere.
- I say we take them.
- I say we get out of here.
- How about we compromise?
(grunting)
- Now can we go?
(sighing)
- No, not again!
Come on. It's got to be the way out!
(footstep pounds)
- Hurry up, you moron!
(soldiers running)
(action music plays)
- Come on, let's go! Where's
this going to get us?
- Anywhere but here, let's go!
(soldiers running)
(suspenseful music starts)
- Big deal. They don't make you
look tall, wavy or anything.
- Whoa.
You need a haircut.
- You think?
- Hey, look at this!
(suspenseful music starts)
Weird!
What if the greatest Monitors see this?
- Who cares? If they
catch us, we're done for!
(footstep pounding on floor)
- You think this is the right way?
- Anyway is better than being
up there with the Monitors.
(eerie music continues)
- How's the job hunting?
- Oh, I've answered 20
ads and got one interview.
- Um, it's a jungle out there.
Don't worry, you'll find something.
- Listen, Max, about your budget cuts!
- Huh?
- Have you given any
thought to private funding?
- (chuckles) Thoughts? Sure!
But who's got the time to cut what's left
of the short-staffed!
- Maybe you need to hire someone.
- You know what a
professional fundraiser costs?
- Max. I don't have any
experience but I know Driftwood.
I'm tenacious. I'd be doing
something to help Jay.
I'm not asking for charity.
- Yeah, but I am.
I think it's a great idea.
(chuckles)
Let me talk to the board.
- They're in here.
- Make sure all the exits are sealed!
Where's that new wormhole
detector of yours.
(beeping sounds)
(sigh) My guess is
- This new maze must be a
window to the other world.
- We're going in.
- I feel like Columbus
(heels clicking on floor)
(bags ruffling)
- Back already Mrs Zen? What
do you think? Right here?
- No, a little higher, I think.
- Isn't Jay going to be in a wheelchair?
- At first he will
but I want to give him
a goal to work towards
- Whatever you say.
- Look at what I've got
him. What do you think?
- Cool.
What's this?
(poster rolling out)
Wow. Sierra Jones.
- Should I know her? Her
picture is everywhere.
- Yeah. She's hot.
She's got her sunglasses,
TV show and everything.
- How old is she?
- 14.
Great idea, Mrs. Zen.
This will really give Jay
something to look forward to.
(suspenseful music starts)
- These sunglasses will protect
us from harmful reflections.
(device beeping)
- Look
Don't you think we make a lovely couple?
- Yeah, Macro'll be jealous.
(laughing)
(footstep pounding on floor)
- Haven't we been here already?
We keep seeing the same mirrors.
- You mean you keep seeing your own face?
- Maybe we should leave
a trail or something?
- Of what? Bread crumbs.
They'll just leave Medea straight to us.
- [Medea] We know you're in here, Jay.
It's only a matter of time.
You can't run forever.
- Let's keep going.
(suspenseful music plays)
(device beeping)
- Do you have to play
that ridiculous tune?
- I didn't pick it.
Have you noticed
the trans-dimensional
electromagnetic densities
and variant under
orthogonal considerations.
- Uh, will you speak English?
- It doesn't matter
where we are in the maze.
The signal from the other
world is the same strength.
- So?
- It's not just the maze.
The mirrors themselves must be
doorways to the other world.
- [Sounds From Radio] Come on son!
I can't hang around here all day.
- [Jay From Radio] Dad, wait!
- What was that?
- I don't know.
Possibly echoes from the other world.
- Yes!
(footsteps pounding on floor)
- What you think?
- I think they're getting closer.
- How do you figure?
- Well, I think
(suspenseful music plays)
Flash!
(suspenseful music heightens)
Flash
Where did you go Flash?
(suspenseful music continues)
[Jay] Flash! Flash!
Come back here!
- [Jay In The Mirror] Boy!
You really take your friends
for granted, don't you?
(suspenseful music heightens)
- What?
- Your friends in this world.
You're just using them.
- I'm just trying to find
my dad and get back home.
- But you don't care what happens
once you get what you want?
- You don't know what
you're talking about.
You're not even real.
- No? We have the same name,
same face, same memories.
Who's the reflection of who?
- I don't have to listen
to this.I'm outta here.
- Hey.
Take a good look at yourself Jay!
You might not like what you see.
(suspense music continues)
- [Flash] Who are you?
- I'm you, stupid! Who do you think?
- Yeah. What's your favorite color?
- Will you just shut up for a second
and let me tell you something important.
You have to help Jay get outta here!
- [Flash] I know that!
- But you know why?
- Cause he's my friend.
- That's not all.
It's your fault he's here.
(suspenseful music)
(twinkle sound)
- Suck it!
(boy laughing)
Now get outta here!
- You disgusting traitor!
Give me back my scope!
(banging sound)
- Fetch your telescope
(cheering sounds)
(hands clapping)
(suspenseful music continues)
- I got him!
(wheel rolling)
(body hits ground)
(head bangs)
(suspenseful music continues)
(whooping sound)
- So that's it?
(hands clapping together)
- Over here dummy!
(suspenseful music continues)
- That was my fault?
- Our fault!
But the question is, what
are we going to do about it?
- Now, seize him!
(action music starts)
Stop him!
Get him!
- Jay!
(action music playing)
Jay!
(action music continues)
Jay!
(action music continues)
- Flash!
- Jay! Where are you?
(action music heightens)
- [Jay] Over here!
Hurry
- Run! I'll hold them off!
(action music heightens)
- I can't leave you here!
(action music heightens)
Run without me! I'll catch up!
Go!
Go!
(action music heightens)
(footstep bouncing)
(action music heightens)
- Get him!
- Come and get me!
- With pleasure!
Come on!
- Think you can take me?
[Soldier] Guess we'll find out!
(action music heightens)
(footsteps bouncing on floor)
(body hits the floor)
- What?
Flash! How how did you....
(bodies colliding)
- Good question! I don't
know, but I'm right here!
(screaming) I've got them all Jay!
Keep going!
Jay, keep going! Jay, I've got them all!
- Flash, where are you?
(Flash voice echoes)
(device beeping)
- Will you shut that stupid thing off!
- What a surprise! How
nice of you to drop in!
- Help!
- [Soldiers] Come on, move along!
- Take him away!
(struggling and trying to fight off)
[Monitors] Move it!
(grunting)
(footsteps clatters)
(suspenseful music continues)
(upbeat music starts)
(device beeping from afar)
(echoing conversation from
afar) - Pick it up Jay!
We don't want to spend the
whole weekend stuck in traffic!
- Dad!
(device beeping)
- (voice echoing from
far) I left my jacket
(footsteps nearing)
- (sighing) Why is it so dark
in here? Where did he go?
- I'll track him with
the wormhole detector.
(radio playing tracking sound)
(suspenseful music continues)
(echoing sound from radio)
(suspenseful music continues)
(echoing sound from device)
This wormhole detector is
not functioning adequately.
- Well, he must be around here somewhere.
- Well, I don't see him.
There he is!
(suspenseful music heightens)
Take off your sunglasses!
- Where's Flash? What did you do with him?
- I honestly don't know where he is.
He sacrificed himself
so you could get here.
Not that you care.
(suspenseful music continues)
- Hey Alpha, we didn't turn your back
on someone you'd go all the way around!
- Jay turned his back on us, Flash!
I'm thinking of a whole world here!
Jay is only thinking of himself!
- Yeah, you don't know anything!
What's this?
(footsteps running down the steps)
(clanging)
(mirror shattering)
- Very impressive Flash!
Get him out of my sight!
(footsteps rushing down)
- So where is here?
- Don't pretend you don't sense it Jay!
Fractal, show Jay!
(radio wheel turns)
- It's a radio! Big deal
(radio starting up)
- Indeed!
(voice from radio)
- [Jay's Dad From Radio]
Jay, go get us some ice
to keep the worms fresh! I've
got to make a quick call!
- [Jay From Radio] Okay Dad!
- Now, do you know where you are?
- That's my dad and me
when I was little,
the last night we were together.
But how?
- It's an echo on time.
Do you want to hear more?
- Leave us alone for a moment Fractal!
- But, but, Medea! I...
- I'm sure Jay doesn't
want the whole world
to know his private life.
So here, take these.
Go on!
(radio sound playing)
(ruffling sound from bag)
(twinkling sound)
- Remember this.
(somber music playing)
(somber music continues)
- No! Don't!
(water bubbling up the surface)
Do something. Don't let him go.
You have to!
Dad!
- He left you Jay.
- It was an accident.
- That's what he wanted it to look like.
- He was just fooling around.
- Was he?
You know the truth, Jay!
You're just pretending you don't.
- What are you saying?
- Did you ever think he planned it?
- He did not!
- He abandoned you.
I'm sorry.
- He didn't.
He wouldn't.
- Why do you think you're
having such a hard time
finding your father?
- I don't know.
- It's so obvious Jay!
All you have to do is open your eyes.
Don't you ever wonder why
there are no grownups.
We've all been abandoned.
- Why are you doing this?
Why are you telling me this?
- Because there's more at
stake here than you think.
- Like what?
- Everything!
My life!
Alpha, Flash, everyone.
(sighing) You're supposed
to stay here Jay!
We all are!
(sighing) If you leave,
this world and everyone
in it will be destroyed.
- Not that again.
- I can prove it.
Look!
(twinkling magical sound)
- That's me!
- There was an accident.
You fell.
- How'd you know that?
- Step through the mirror
and you'll wake up in the other world.
- Why would you let me go back?
- Because I can't stop you.
Because I think you know
that you belong here.
- What if I don't?
- Look, you may not like me very much,
but I'm betting you won't
let a whole world die.
(sighing)
All I ask is that you look back
in this world one last time.
- You'll be fine.
- Promise me!
- I promise.
(somber music playing)
(twinkle sound)
(suspenseful music starts)
(suspenseful music continues)
(thunder roaring)
(mirror shaking)
- Jay, come back!
(tumbling sound)
Jay, go in please!
(mirror shaking)
(mirror shatters)
Jay!
(tumbling sound)
- Oh my God, I thought I heard something!
- He must move somehow!
- He fell out of bed.
Shh, it's okay, we're
just going to move back up
- Easy
(Jay breathes heavily)
- This is good news. Back in bed.
You can exercise tomorrow.
(mirror shatters)
- Leave him alone! Don't touch him!
Please!
(Medea voice echoes)
(Medea screams from the distance)
(somber music continues)
(door opening)
- I got here as soon as I could.
Max told me the good news.
No? He said you were moving.
I can't believe it.
You're really coming back.
Yes you are hun.
Oh, there're so many things
we have to think about.
You like?
Keith was right.
He said it would wake you up. Boys.
(chuckles)
(somber music starts)
(door opens)
- How could you trust him?
- It wasn't his fault,
he wanted to come back.
- He's never coming back
- Then you should be thanking
me if it's what he wanted.
- I should never have
told you how to find him.
- You should have more faith.
Remember, he came back for you.
(cracking sounds)
(girls screaming)
(building shaking)
(screaming echoes from distance)
(eerie sound echoes from the distance)
- What is it hun?
Can I get you something?
Some juice? Water?
(thundering sound echoes in background)
- [Medea Voice Echoeing] Promise
me, promise me, promise me
- No, no Jay
- [Medea Voice Echoeing] Come back!
- Please don't go!
Stay a little longer this time!
Jay, please, stay with me!
Stay with your mom.
Jay!
(Jay's mom echoing)
(somber music fading)
- I couldn't move. I was....
(sigh with relief)
- It's okay.
You're back now.
(Meade breathing)
(slow music starts)
I saw, I was afraid you...
- I don't belong there.
You're right. I can't go home.
- Maybe you have to
make this your home now.
- But half of me is still there.
In that room, wherever that is.
- Maybe that's the way
it is for all of us.
I mean, when we were abandoned,
part of us came here and
part of us was left behind.
- So what do we do?
You and me?
- Oh, we'll think of something,
each according to who we are.
- What about Macro?
- (sighing) He ordered me
to put you under arrest
if I found you at the circus.
- So?
- I won't.
I can't.
I mean, you're going to
have to figure out yourself
what you want to do.
I'll say we lost you in the maze.
- Why are you doing this?
- Because you came back
(cheerful music heightens)

Come on. It's got to be the way out!

- Come on, let's go! Where's
this going to get us?
- Anywhere but here, let's go!

(mirror shaking)
- Jay, come back!
(tumbling sound)
Jay, go in please!
(mirror shaking)
(mirror shatters)
Jay!
(tumbling sound)
- Oh my God, I thought I heard something!
- He must move somehow!
- He fell out of bed.
Shh, it's okay, we're
just going to move back up
- Easy
(Jay breathes heavily)
- This is good news. Back in bed.
You can exercise tomorrow.
(mirror shatters)
- Leave him alone! Don't touch him!
Please!
(Medea voice echoes)
(Medea screams from the distance)
(somber music continues)
(door opening)
- I got here as soon as I could.
Max told me the good news.
No? He said you were moving.
I can't believe it.
You're really coming back.
Yes you are hun.
Oh, there're so many things
we have to think about.
You like?
Keith was right.
He said it would wake you up. Boys.
(chuckles)
(somber music starts)
(door opens)
- How could you trust him?
- It wasn't his fault,
he wanted to come back.
- He's never coming back
- Then you should be thanking
me if it's what he wanted.
- I should never have
told you how to find him.
- You should have more faith.
Remember, he came back for you.
(cracking sounds)
(girls screaming)
(building shaking)
(screaming echoes from distance)
(eerie sound echoes from the distance)
- What is it hun?
Can I get you something?
Some juice? Water?
(thundering sound echoes in background)
- [Medea Voice Echoeing] Promise
me, promise me, promise me
- No, no Jay
- [Medea Voice Echoeing] Come back!
- Please don't go!
Stay a little longer this time!
Jay, please, stay with me!
Stay with your mom.
Jay!
(Jay's mom echoing)
(somber music fading)
- I couldn't move. I was....
(sigh with relief)
- It's okay.
You're back now.
(Meade breathing)
(slow music starts)
I saw, I was afraid you...
- I don't belong there.
You're right. I can't go home.
- Maybe you have to
make this your home now.
- But half of me is still there.
In that room, wherever that is.
- Maybe that's the way
it is for all of us.
I mean, when we were abandoned,
part of us came here and
part of us was left behind.
- So what do we do?
You and me?
- Oh, we'll think of something,
each according to who we are.
- What about Macro?
- (sighing) He ordered me
to put you under arrest
if I found you at the circus.
- So?
- I won't.
I can't.
I mean, you're going to
have to figure out yourself
what you want to do.
I'll say we lost you in the maze.
- Why are you doing this?
- Because you came back
(cheerful music heightens)
(music fades)
(upbeat music starts)
