"Max?" "Max, it's me." "Max, I want you to come with me, but I need you to be quiet." "And don't make a sound no matter what happens, do you understand?" "Everyone okay?" "Damn it." "Dad!" "No, dad." "Ari." "Allmylife, I'vebeenrunning." "It'sallI'veeverknown." "AndI 'vealwaysfound onethingto be true." "It'stheonlything youhaveto remember." "Theonlything youneedto believe." "No matter how bad things get, there'salwaysaway out ." "Max, wake up." "I'm up." "Slow down." "I'm in a hurry." "Can I help you with something?" "No." "Okay." "And clean up after yourself." "You're not the only one that lives here." "You got it, mom." "Good morning, sunshine." "Iggy wants to talk to you." "Inventory." "He's been calculating his long-term projection all morning." "Yeah, I'm gonna need breakfast first." "Good choice." "You're right." "One cookie's a snack, two is a meal." "Yes." "Five miles away." "I can't wait to leave this house." "I mean, you've had some bad ideas, but this is by far your worst." "Why?" "It's not like anyone's gonna find out." "You're willing to put your life in danger for a jacket?" "I'll be back before anyone knows I'm gone." "Are you kidding me?" "Really, nudge?" "You're up." "Don't play with me." "What do you mean?" "I know." "Don't look at her." "Get out of my head, you little rat." "Hey, leave angel alone, it's not her fault you're planning something stupid." "Coming from the idiot making a bomb at the breakfast table." "That's a bomb?" "Like a real bomb?" "No." "Don't worry." "It's not dangerous." "As long as these two aren't connected, it can't go off." "Oh, I see." "Never mind." "Totally cool." "If they find us, they'll send the erasers." "And those guys could rip down these walls with their bare hands." "So excuse me for wanting a little extra firepower." "Yeah, well, they're not gonna have to send the erasers if you do their job for them and kill all of us first." "And you, were you really gonna put us all at risk just to go shopping?" "Relax." "What's the big deal?" "I would have been back before you even knew I was gone." "I'm just tired of being cooped up in this house all the time." "And what was your plan if you got caught?" "I'm too fast to get caught." "You think you're fast?" "Well, let me tell you something, nudge." "I'm faster, I'm bigger, I'm stronger and if you ever even think about leaving this house on your own again," "I will take you down so hard you won't know what hit you." "All right, John Wayne." "What are you looking at?" "You don't have to be so hard on them." "Someone has to be in charge around here." "Sounds like that went well." "Eavesdropping again?" "I might be blind, but I can't help that my hearing is better than yours." "You wanted to meet with me?" "Right." "Well, uh, the verdict is we won't starve tomorrow, but between the food supply and the money that Jeb left us," "we're looking at six months tops." "Great." "That gives us time to come up with a plan." "Like what?" "Stealing?" "Becoming farmers?" "Okay, maybe it's time we leave." "We're not leaving." "We may not have a choice, Max." "Change is going to come whether we're prepared or not." "Yeah, I'm with iggy on this." "I can't blame nudge or the others wanting to go out and experience more." "These kids need things, Max." "Ordinary things, like making friends or seeing more than just the inside of this house." "Well, at least they're not in cages." "We're not leaving." "Jeb put us here for a reason." "He knew we'd be safe." "You still think he's coming back, don't you?" "How am I supposed to do this without you?" "You'retheirleader,Max ." "Showthemtheway , theywillfollow." "I'm going upstairs." "All right." "Where'd she put it?" "Fine." "I don't need your help." "I'll find it myself." "Or I'll just make another one." "Hey." "Hey." "Hi." "You okay?" "I'm fine." "I know you think Max doesn't care, but she does." "I didn't ask for Max to be my mom." "I can take care of myself." "No." "None of us can." "We all need each other." "I just want to be a normal teenager." "I want to go out and have fun and have a life." "We can't, nudge." "As much as we try, we can't." "We can't risk the exposure." "Max only cares about herself." "She has her own plan, and I'm tired of sticking to it." "You're wrong if you think Max doesn't care." "She does." "Look, I know she cares." "I just don't want to stay here because we're afraid." "I'm tired of being afraid." "Whatarewe waitingfor ?" "Cantheyhearus?" "Maintainposition." "Angel." "Angel!" "Angel!" "Angel!" "Angel!" "Angel!" "Angel!" "Angel!" "Angel." "They don't want you anymore, Max." "They just want your sweet, precious angel." "Ari." "Hey." "Wanna play?" "What you drawing?" "This is where we're going when we get out." "It looks cool." "Who are they?" "That's my family." "Are they your parents?" "We don't have parents." "It's just us." "Who's that guy?" "That's Jeb." "Why would you draw my dad?" "He takes care of us." "He takes care of everything." "He's working on something really big." "He's gonna save the world." "His job is really important." "Do you see him much?" "Every day." "Ari." "I have to go." "Ari..." "This area is off limits." "But why?" "You know the rules." "She's very special." "Do you understand?" "Now go." "Hello, Max." "Max!" "Angel." "Where is she?" "We don't know." "Did you find them?" "No." "They must have had some kind of aircraft." "How'd they find us?" "Who cares?" "We have to get her back." "Where are they taking her?" "The school." "No." "We have to go back there." "We don't even know where that is." "Jeb did." "Hey, look at this." "What is it?" "Look at this." "All right, he marked a path ending at the house, and starting in death valley." "There's nothing there." "Not according to Jeb." "I'm pretty sure that's it." "I remember us driving over sand." "If we leave now, we can be there in a day and a half." "Here." "There's campgrounds off of lake mead." "That's the halfway point." "We'll stop there for the night." "Who knows what they'll have done to her by then." "Angel's strong, she'll find a way to hold on until we get there." "So what are we waiting for?" "Let's go." "You're not coming." "What?" "Why?" "You and nudge can't fly as fast as us." "Not yet." "You'll just slow us down." "No way." "Gazzy." "She's my sister." "I know." "And I'm gonna get her back, i promise, okay?" "But I can't do that if I'm worried about you, too." "I need you to stay here where it's safe." "It's not safe, not anymore." "They know we're here." "And they left us here alive." "If they wanted to take us, they could have." "They only wanted angel." "I'm sorry, but this is how it has to be, guys." "This isn't fair." "I'll look after them." "Thanks." "But that does bring up the obvious question." "Why angel?" "Why not all of us?" "Maybe they know what she can do." "How?" "Well, we always assumed they got Jeb." "So maybe they got him to talk." "Why would they wait this long?" "Maybe that's how long it took to break him." "You guys should get going." "I'll put together some supplies for the road." "Thanks." "Yeah." "There's one other thing." "The guy who knocked me out, it was Ari." "How is that even possible?" "I know." "I barely recognized him, but..." "I can't believe they turned him into an eraser." "Well, they did." "And we're gonna have to deal with it." "Where's Ari?" "What are you doing in here?" "Ever wonder who your parents are?" "We're not supposed to be in here." "Says who?" "Max?" "I don't see her around." "Look, there's all these documents, medical records, personal information." "I think they're about us." "There's no names, only numbers, but we can match 'em up by our ages." "I think this one's about me, about where I came from." "What do you mean where you came from?" "I thought we were test tube babies." "Not according to this." "Wait, seriously?" "There's a name along with an address in New York." "I think..." "I think it might be my mother." "Iggy..." "Over here." "You're getting warmer, iggy." "Who's there?" "Where's Max?" "What was that?" "Wait." "No!" "Now, where are you?" "You want to play games?" "Okay." "Is everyone all right?" "I think so." "Nudge?" "Nudge?" "Whatever I said about making a bomb, i take it back." "We need to find Max." "Come on." "We need more data." "I recommend we increase the voltage." "That's enough for now." "Let her rest." "We shouldn't have stopped yet." "We need to eat and we need to rest." "We're no good to angel otherwise." "I know." "You're right." "I just keep thinking about how she's all alone and that they..." "Stop." "Imagining the worst won't get us there any faster." "Thanks." "It's so quiet here." "It's weird." "Yeah." "It gives you time to think." "About what?" "Anything you want." "Let go of me!" "Just, stop!" " Get away!" " Hey, get back here!" "No." "Yes." "We don't have time for this." "It's one guy." "It'll take five minutes, tops." "We're supposed to be keeping a low profile, not drawing attention to ourselves, remember?" "By the time he realizes what's going on, we'll be long gone." "You don't know that." "You can't just jump in without thinking." "Not this time." "You need to choose, Max." "Us or them?" "Well, I can't think like that." "You don't want to think like that, but it's the truth." "I know you feel helpless right now, and I know you want to do something, but saving one random girl who could probably take care of herself is not gonna bring angel back." "Fine." "You're right." "It's not our problem." "Let go of me!" "Stop it!" "Get off!" "Hey, get back here!" "Jake, stop!" "Jake, stop!" "You shouldn't have done that!" "Get off of me!" "Stop!" "Get off!" "Get off!" "Help!" "Go!" "You're dead." "Make sure you tell your friends you were beat up by a girl." "Really?" "What are you?" "Oh, my god." "Oh, boy." "Max!" "Oh, no, no, no." "Hang on, Max." "She needs to go to the hospital." "No hospital." "My mom's a doctor." "She can help her." "No one can know about us." "I understand." "It's only a few blocks." "Come on." "Come on, hurry." "I'm gonna go get my mom." "It's gonna be okay." "Stay with me." "All right." "What do we got?" "Come on." "Max?" "Stay with me." "Max?" "Max." "Damn it." "You're so stupid." "Why do you not listen to me?" "You're selfish." "It's gonna be okay." "Come on." "We'll get you fixed up, Max." "Like nothing ever happened." "Max." "Damn it, Max." " What's going on?" " Come in here." "Come on." "What's going on, Ella?" "Just get in here, mom." "What happened to her?" "She's been shot." "Mom, we have to help her." "But we can't call the police, and we can't take her to the hospital." "That's not how this works." "Please." "Mom, she saved my life." "I don't know what's going on here, but I can tell you i don't like it." "Not at all." "Is she gonna be okay?" "Mom,shesavedmylife ." "We're almost there." "What are you doing to me?" "Her heart's beating too fast." "We need to slow it down." "Where's Jeb?" "Where is he?" "I wanna see him." "Code purple." "She's starting to panic." "You need to calm down." "Please, you don't have to do this." "I'm sorry." "Please." "It wasn't my fault." "He started it." "Please!" "A little help here, please?" "What are you doing?" "Stop!" "Please!" "It's all going to be just fine." "When I get out of here, you're going to be sorry!" "You need to calm down." "Hurry." "Get off of me." " Hold her down." " I'm trying." "Calm down." " No!" " Hurry!" "Everything's going to be just fine." "Keep her immobile." "Now take deep breaths." "You need to calm her down." "Keep breathing." "Her heart rate is increasing." "Calm down." "We need a sedative." "Got it." "No!" "Get off of me!" "Calm down." "That's it, deep breaths." "Everything will be just fine." "Okay." "I just wanna be normal." "Um, I don't really know what would have happened if you weren't there." "At least stay for breakfast." "My mom really wants to meet you." "Okay." "Okay, this one's, like, a little well-done, but here you go." "Okay, I don't get it." "Where do you put it all?" "I have a really fast metabolism." "Hey, girls." "Laundry done." "Thank you, mom." "Yep." "I washed your clothes." "The shirt was a loss, but you and Ella are the same size." "Um, after breakfast, why don't you go up and take a shower?" "I'll meet you in the clinic when you're done." "I need to have another look at you." "They are stopping in lake mead, we'll be right behind them." "There's a cabin just north of there." "Pick up the pace so that we can catch them before they leave." "It's a solid plan." "I don't see any other alternative, unless you got some bright idea." "She's gone." "What?" "Seriously, nudge?" "Come on." "But I just..." "Never, never do that again." "I was just looking." "We didn't know where you were." "You're right." "You do heal fast." "What do you mean?" "As far as I can tell, your shoulder is nearly fully recovered." "Did you know that was there?" "No, what is it?" "I would say it looks like a tracking chip." "Like the kind people put inside their pets." "Can you get it out?" "It must have been put in when you were very little." "Your muscles, nerves, even your blood vessels, have grown completely around it." "If I tried, I'm afraid you'd lose use of your hand." "Then there's this." "You see this long, curved line?" "It looks like bone." "Secondary skeletal system underneath your muscle tissue." "Which just doesn't make any sense." "The scar on your back." "That was recent." "Very recent." "Layered over and over again in the exact same place." "Look, I don't know what kind of trouble you're in." "I'm not sure if I even want to know." "But you're a brave girl, and we owe you." "And we'll always be here for you." "No questions asked." "Thank you." "Uh..." "I don't feel very good." "Do you mind if I just go and rest?" "Of course." "We can talk later." "This isn't gonna work." "You can hurry up." "What?" "Let's go." "Come on." "I didn't mean for you to walk ahead of me." "I just meant, like, you know, you can walk next to me." "You say something?" "Okay, I'm the one that should be mad at you, not you being mad at me." "Let's try to find some power." "Well, I got power outside, but I don't have power inside." "I found some candles." "How's your shoulder?" "It's fine." "Seriously?" "That's all you're gonna say?" "What do you want me to say?" "Well, you're obviously still mad at me." "Yeah, I am." "I have every right to be." "He caught me off guard." "I'm sorry for all the time and trouble it cost us, but I'm not sorry that I helped her." "It was the right thing to do." "The right thing to do?" "Max, we're beyond worrying about the right thing to do." "They experimented on us like lab rats." "And now we have to run, hide and fight every day just to stay alive." "And you're willing to risk angel's life, yourself, everything, just because it's the right thing to do?" "Yes." "Because if I don't, that means I'm exactly like them." "Well, if we want to survive, we have to be just as ruthless." "That doesn't work for me." "If I can't be better, then I should just give up now." "Maybe you should." "You'd live a lot longer." "I almost lost you." "Do you understand that?" "Do you understand how that feels?" "There's someone out there." "It's nice to see you, too." "Iggy, why aren't you back at the house?" "Max!" "It's a long story." "The house is gone." "I kinda blew it up." "I guess it's not that long of a story." "You have to be kidding me." "It's not his fault, Max." "There was an eraser." "Gazzy saved our lives." "We think it was Ari." "What did he want?" "He was looking for you." "All right, let's get inside." "So far, her physical responses, though extraordinary, are no different than the other subjects." "Since we took subject 11, the others all have increased levels of stress, expected under the circumstances." "But despite extensive testing and a brain biopsy, we're still unable to find the source of the variance." "Here and here." "Then so be it." "We devise a new series of tests." "Yes." "Of course, sir." "She said it was a tracking chip, but I guess if he didn't know where I was, it must not work anymore." "Or it's not a tracking chip." "What else could it be?" "Well, we can't worry about it right now." "You said Ari came back?" "Yeah." "He had that same scar." "Max is the one that gave it to him." "He used to poke at her while she was in the cage, but..." "There was nothing I could do to stop him." "Why didn't you tell Jeb?" "Ari was Jeb's son, and I was nobody." "I didn't think anyone would care." "So, how'd you give him the scar?" "It doesn't matter." "She grabbed his arm, pulled him up to the bars, and then took the scissors he was using and turned it around on him." "Whoa!" "I think he hated all of us." "The only reason Ari came to the lab was to see Jeb, and he spent all his time with us." "He spent all his time with you." "You were his favorite." "Maybe that's why Ari became an eraser." "To be more like us." "Erasers are nothing like us." "They don't keep erasers locked away in cages." "I hope he died in the blast." "Yeah, well, I don't think we got that lucky." "We should all get some rest." "We have a big day ahead of us." "What are you doing here again?" "Does it bother you?" "I can't figure it out, why dad likes you so much." "Because there's nothing special about you." "You're just a bunch of chemicals somebody cooked up in a lab." "If he wanted to, he could make 100 of you." "The truth is, you're a mistake." "An experiment gone wrong." "You're not even human." "How does it feel to be a monster?" "Things would be so much better if you would just go away." "Would you like that?" "Then we would never have to see each other again, right?" "I mean I could leave you in here with no hope." "Or I could just let you go." "Come and get it." "Come and get it." "I was wondering when you'd show up." "I've been looking forward to this." "Well, I wouldn't want to disappoint you." "Well, I guess if you still hate me, you still have feelings, huh?" "I was wondering about that." "Are you still a person or just an animal?" "I didn't come here to talk." "Come on, Ari." "Jeb wouldn't want it to be like this." "You still don't get anything!" "We're the good guys." "Come on, Ari." "You should know better." "I'm never really alone." "Neither am I." "You chose to become a monster." "I didn't have that luxury." "And that's a decision I'm gonna make you regret." "And I might even enjoy it." "Max, I just couldn't quite hear you." "Max, I don't know if you can hear me, but I can't hear you." "No!" "No!" "No!" "Don't worry, angel." "Your whole family will be reunited soon enough." "Is everyone okay?" "I'm fine." "Iggy?" "Present." "I'm okay, Max." "Gazzy?" "Look." "Oh, my god." "Angel." "Angel, it's me, Max." "Can you hear me?" "Max?" "Yeah." "Yes, it's me." "I'm right here." "Everything's okay." "Max, I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "It's okay, it's okay." "Everything's gonna be okay." "Don't listen to him, Max." "Please." "Please don't listen to him." "Listen to who?" "Somebody wants to talk to you, Max." "Hello, Max." "Why don't you take a seat, Max?" "We have a lot of catching up to do." "I got you something to eat." "You must be starving." "Chocolate chip cookies." "Your favorite." "You're not hungry?" "I'm trying really hard to come up with a story that would explain any of this." "And what have you come up with so far?" "That two years ago, you were caught." "So to protect us, you pretended that we were dead." "But you knew they'd always be watching, so you stopped communicating with us." "But I'm guessing that's just wishful thinking, huh?" "Anything else?" "Option two, that it was all a lie." "You never really rescued us, and this is all part of some master plan, the experiments, everything." "It was you." "How am I doing, Jeb?" "Warm?" "Cold?" "Room temperature?" "Both of those scenarios are extremes." "Opposite extremes." "The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle." "Like I'd believe anything you had to say after what you did to angel." "That was unavoidable." "We've been monitoring your physical health, all of you." "But angel developed some anomalies that required closer inspection." "She's just a kid." "No." "She's not." "She's extraordinary." "All of you are." "Then why did you abandon us?" "We kept you here until we knew that your DNA was stable." "I brought you to the house so you could develop physically and emotionally," "and then I left." "So you could learn independence." "It's the same process that every child goes through." "God, you actually believe that, don't you?" "You really think that what you did was for the best?" "No, not for you, Max." "No." "For everyone." "Why do you think you were created in the first place?" "I don't know." "Maybe you were just really, really bored one day." "Most scientists serve a larger purpose." "To help people, to better the world, to save it." "Their methods may differ, but it's always for the greater good." "And what about the people you hurt along the way?" "They don't count?" "Variables." "There's only success or failure." "And you, Max, are a success." "Lucky me." "So what happens now?" "Unfortunately, now that the illusion has been shattered, we will have to keep you here." "At least for now." "Home sweet home." "You really should try the cookie, Max." "They're homemade." "I know you let Ari become an eraser." "It was his choice." "You could have stopped him if you tried." "There are some things in life that are out of our control." "Accepting that is just another part of growing up." "I don't like chocolate chip cookies anymore." "I've outgrown them." "I'm done." "Come on!" "Get in the cage." "Get in the cage." "Or what?" "Yeah, that's what I thought." "I'm not afraid of you." "I don't care what you've done to yourself." "You're still the same weak, pathetic little boy desperate for approval." "And you're not gonna lay a hand on me." "You know why?" "Because daddy wouldn't like it." "Get in the cage." "Get in the cage." "Is it true?" "Was it him?" "Yeah, it's true." "Jeb's alive." "Alive and a traitor." "I'd rather he was dead." "So what do we do?" "There's not much we can do." "They're out there and we're locked in here." "So you have a plan, right?" "No." "I don't, actually." "And the thing is, Jeb said some stuff about us, why we're here, and it sounded really important." "I think we should trust him." " Trust him?" "We can't." " Are you serious?" "No." "Are you out of your mind?" "Max, he's gonna turn us into an eraser." "What are you talking about?" "You can't keep..." "No,wecan't..." "No, Max, no." "After everything he's done." "Max!" "Max!" "This isn't fair." "We can't trust him." "There is no way!" "Oh, my god." "Look where we are." "It makes no sense, Max." "Angel,canyouhearme?" "We'rebeingwatched." "Andwecan'ttrustJeb." "We'regettingout ofheretonight." "Telltheothers." "How's Dr. batchelder handling the reunion?" "If you're not up to this..." "I..." "I'm afraid he may be losing his conviction." "What makes you say that?" "His behavior indicates that he's become emotional with the subject." "He's grown attached." "Well,she'llnever trusthimagainafterthis ." "And I'm not sure if he's capable of following through." "He's always been soft." "That's what makes him good at what he does." "Yes." "What he doesn't understand is that they're not human." "The most dangerous mistake is to think of them as if they are." "They're expendable." "If this gets out of control, we have other facilities, other products." "We pick up and move on." "Yes,madam." "If we fail here, we need to be prepared to walk away from a loss." "Idon'tthink heseesit thatway ." "This program is a failure if we can't control them." "Jeb seems to have forgotten that they are weapons." "Very dangerous weapons." "What do you want?" "Just enjoying the view." "You know, I don't think you're supposed to be in here." "Why don't I just scream and find out?" "Oh, I wouldn't, if I were you." "Wow." "Threatening a girl while she's locked in a cage." "That's low, even for you." "You're such a coward." "Max, I could rip your throat out with my bare hands." "So what's stopping you?" "It's just you and me." "Prove it." "You think I'm gonna let you out?" "How stupid do you think i am, Max?" "Pretty stupid." "Come on." "All right, we all know the plan?" "Come on." "Nudge, you guys head for the main power." "You know how to shut it down, right?" "Take my hand." "I know what I'm doing." "You know where this place is?" "Don't worry." "I know where the chemical room is." "Come on, we gotta move fast." "There's been a breach in sector five and sector three and four." "Send in the erasers." "Do you know which switch it is?" "Come on, quickly, hurry." "You know what?" "I guess I'll shut down the entire power source." "Run!" "Please hurry." "I know." "How we doing?" "Gazzy?" "I'm done." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "This is the end." "You're never leaving this place alive." "There's no way out, Max." "There's always a way out." "Ari!" "Max." "Don't." "You're not ready." "You don't understand what's happening, Max." "Trust me." "Never again." "Max, please!" "And don't bother looking for us, Jeb." "This experiment's over." "You came." "Of course, I came." "I'll always come for you no matter what." "You scared me to death." "So what now?" "I don't know." "We'll figure it out." "We always do." "Max." "Max." "What's wrong?" "Max?" "Hey, you're back." "What the hell happened?" "I was gonna ask you the same thing." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I think so." "I thought I lost you again." "You got to stop doing that to me." "I'll work on it." "I thought you were blind." "Your breathing changed." "What happened?" "It looked like you were having a seizure." "Yeah, you were shaking and mumbling and stuff." "My head felt like it was gonna explode, and then I saw things." "What kind of things?" "Images, New York City." "There was this building filled with files, and one of them had my name on it." "New York?" "What do you think it means?" "I don't know." "It was like a memory, but I've never been there before." "We should go." "Sounds like a trap." "No, she's right." "We need answers, and this is the first clue we've ever had." "It couldn't hurt." "It's not like we have anywhere else to go." "So, we'regoingto NewYork." "Anddon'tbother lookingforus ,Jeb." "Thisexperiment'sover." "Anddon'tbother lookingforus ,Jeb." "Thisexperiment'sover." "Anddon'tbother lookingforus ,Jeb." "Thisexperiment'sover." "Thisexperiment'sover."
