Ok, go finish breakfast, sweetie.
I... guess. Sure. Whatever.
- Is everything ok? - Yeah.
Something is going on with your son...
...and I'd like to talk to you about it.
Ever since the science fair... But really even before that.
Yes, I know, I... I've been feeling the same thing.
There's something I'd like to show you.
Uh, what is this?
Uh, this is a Tibetan painting. It's called up mandala.
It's a symbolic representation of the universe.
This one's actually almost 1,000 years old.
Well, it's... beautiful...
But why are you showing it to me?
These were drawn by your son.
Noah drew these?
Amazing.
When I saw Noah's drawings...
...they really struck a chord.
Now especially this one...
...which is particularly rare.
Yeah, this is actually an astrological configuration.
The books says it's a map to the past and future.
Um, in tibet, uh...
They believe that there are extraordinary children...
...with this very special knowledge...
And... And abilities.
Uh, they are considered actually very rare souls.
Very gifted, like Noah. They're called tolkus.
And then they even have a particularly...
Uh, specific means of identifying these children...
Markings, on their hands.
Palm readers can look at their lines...
And tell if they're one of these special beings.
We met some of these kids and I actually had the honor...
...of being able to look at their palms, which was...
Naomi studied with a palm reader for several years.
She's really... She's quite good.
- Larry... Thank you. - No, I mean you are.
Well... You're very gifted. So...
Can she look at mine?
Honey, what are you doing here?
I couldn't help it, I... I wanted to look.
Will you?
Uh, well I'm... I'm not actually an expert...
Mom, please.
Uh... I'm sorry...
I just don't believe in all of this stuff.
I know it sounds really weird...
But there are many cultures that take this very seriously.
Ok.
Let's see.
Do you see anything?
This is a very good hand.
Really.
This is what lamas would call auspicious.
Meaning that you will have a very good life.
But is it special?
It's very special in its own way.
It's just not what I was, uh, talking about before.
What about mine?
Um... Would...
Ok.
What is it? What's wrong?
Huh, this is a... A very special hand.
Do you see how simple the lines are?
I've never seen anything so pure.
What does it mean?
It means you have a remarkable child.
Do you have a copy machine?
We need to find some way to document this.
Maybe we could show it to some people?
Uh, no, sorry, I don't.
Mom, sure, you do.
No, I'm sorry. Look, uh...
I, just... This is all starting to feel...
...too strange for me.
It's been so strange for both of us as well.
I'd just like you to stop.
Thank you for your time. We should go, I think.
Thanks.
That's a very cute bunny.
She's mimzy, she's my teacher.
She teaches me everything.
She taught me about the painting and the book.
She told me it was called the 7 mountains.
My daughter has a very active imagination.
Oh, come on.
That's not what it's called, is it?
...the recent mysterious blackout...
...are now zeroing in on Seattle...
...as the likely source.
And in other news, 40 are dead...
Hey, why don't you, uh, come to bed?
No, I... I'm not tired.
You gotta... You gotta stop thinking about this stuff...
- You really do. - No, I can't!
David, the lines on their hands...
I've never noticed them before.
All right, look, we... We...
I mean, what do you know about palmistry?
This woman, she could've told you anything.
- How would you know? - Emma knew the painting!
She knew what it was called. It's just not possible.
I mean, I think you're just making way too much out of it.
Oh, David, you said that we'd get help now.
All right, what are we gonna tell a doctor?
Our kids have funny lines in their hands...
...and they make weird drawings?
I just don't... I don't buy any of this stuff, you know.
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
But I don't want the world to end...
Ever.
I love the world.
I don't want it to die.
I know. I know.
With all my heart.
I love you so much.
- Good morning, everybody. - Hey.
- Morning - Hi.
- Can i get you something? - No, no. No. No.
I got it. I got it.
It's fine.
Dad, you're eating breakfast at home.
Yes, I thought it would be nice to join you. Why not?
Whoa, take it easy there on the sugar.
But dad, I always have this much.
Hey, Noah, stop.
Hey, Noah...
Where are your glasses? How come you're not wearin' 'em?
Don't worry about it, it's ok.
Noah, go and get your glasses.
I don't need 'em.
Of course you do, now go and get your glasses.
Mom, lighten up.
Noah, come on, now, don't talk to your mother that way.
- Do what she said. - Oh, but dad, I-I'm...
No, do what she said, go get your glasses, ok?
- I think mimzy's sick. - What's that?
I think mimzy's sick.
Can you tell? Something's wrong.
She's getting weaker.
I'm afraid she's going to die.
She's a stuffed animal, Emma.
Now, you gotta...
You know, stop it with this mimzy stuff.
Ok, here's what I'd like you to do.
I'd like you to just...
Put mimzy away, put the rabbit away, all right?
So that we can have a really great breakfast together.
Emma, put the rabbit away.
What is wrong with this family? I mean it's not...
Look, I want you to put the rabbit away, ok?
All right? Just...
Could you pass the sugar?
Dad, you don't need that much sugar!
And all of a sudden, I kind you not...
...the sugar starts to rise by itself up...
...it forms this pattern, and it comes over...
...and all of it lands in my bowl.
Now, I looked at her and she's just smiling.
Very, very peacefully, just looking at it.
And, I mean, wh-what is this?
This is so far out of my league.
I...
I've heard of...
Psychokinesis being practiced by advanced meditators before...
...but I always thought it was just a metaphor.
No, come on, this is not a metaphor...
...we're dealing with, it's way beyond metaphor at this point.
- It's not... - And I'm sorry that I was...
...just so dismissive the other day.
It was just that all of this is so beyond...
...and we...
We just don't know where to turn.
So we called you because we thought that...
...maybe it could be related to Noah's drawings...
...and the paintings in the book.
Uh, we... We just don't know what to do.
I have a friend, Arnie Rose.
He's a neurologist at northwest hospital.
Um...
Maybe there's some kind of connection...
Scientific, medical or otherwise.
We could have him... see your kids.
Yes, that's a very good idea.
Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely.
All right, we should get the...
We... We should get the kids, where are the kids?
- They're upstairs. - Right, so what we should do...
- Help! - What is it?!
Mom, dad, it's Emma!
We need you!
Mr. Wilder, should we come?
- What is it, Noah?! - Emma?
Hi, mommy.
I learned this from mimzy too.
- Emma! - Mommy, please, it's all right.
Ok.
Now I... I need you to give me mimzy.
- No! No! - Give her to me, emma!
Emma, just give her to me now.
- Jo, Jo, stop... Stop... - Ok, David, please.
- No, mommy, no! - No. No, mom...
Noah, I...
It's those things that they found on the beach...
And I want them out of here now.
Now, Noah, where are they?
- Noah, where are they? - But mom...
Where are they?! I want them out of here now!
Jo!
- Mom! - What? Stop it! Where are they?
They're in my backpack, ok?!
No! Mom!
Ok, everything's gonna be fine.
- Bring her back! - Mom!
- Jo, what are you doing? - No!
- Mom! Please, please... - Daddy, I want her!
No, mom! They're nothing!
- They're just rocks! - Jo!
I'm sorry.
Mom, we didn't do anything!
- I want mimzy! - Mom!
Noah!
Don't say I never do anything for you.
Mimzy!
How did you find her?
She was in the garbage.
Don't let mom see.
The spinners too?
They're in bad shape.
They're crumbling.
- We have to hurry, Noah. - To what?
I've gotta show you something.
Why are you showing me that?
It's about Alice...
...going through the looking glass.
I think it explains what the machine is.
Wait a minute.
That looks like mimzy.
How could she have mimzy?
That was 100 years ago.
Maybe she has spinners too, Noah.
Maybe she didn't get what she was supposed to do.
Maybe she needed a brother like you.
Like me, what for?
- Because you're my engineer. - What do you mean, your engineer?
I mean I can't do it all alone, Noah.
Noah, I have to look.
Emma?
Emma, what's happening?
Emma!
Em!
Oh, my god.
Emma?
Emma!
Mom! Dad!
- Emma. - What is it?
I think Emma's hurt!
- Hold on, hold on, Noah! - I'm all right.
Jo!
Oh, my gosh!
Emma, it's gonna be all right! Hold on!
What is it? What happened?
- What's goin' on? - Noah?
- What's goin' on, huh? - I'm ok, mommy. I'm ok.
I think she was dreaming. She must've fallen out of bed.
It wasn't dreaming and I didn't fall out of bed.
I looked through a looking glass, mommy.
I looked through it, just like Alice.
- What did you see? - A strange scientist.
It was scary.
Know what? I'm gonna put you back into bed.
Good night, Noah.
Oh, David!
Mr. and Mrs. Wilder, let me explain this to you.
We are born with over 100 billion brain cells.
The connectors are called synapses...
And by the time a child reaches the age of 3...
Its brain has formed about 1,000 trillion of them.
But then, as we become adults...
...we lose over half of them.
And the brain becomes rigid or hard-wired.
All their potential brain power gets reduced...
...narrows down...
...and specializes.
But your children are different.
This is an image of a child's brain, age 2.
This is an adult's brain.
And, in particular, this is Emma's.
Now, not only is her development completely off the charts...
But this section is all new growth.
Now the red and orange areas indicate significant brain activity.
What's so amazing is that we were able to see changes...
...in the time in between the different images.
Now, there's nothing...
...in the literature that addresses this.
So, I've spoken to my colleagues...
...and we would like to schedule some more tests...
...as quickly as possible.
If that's... all right with you.
Oh, I... I don't know.
I...
I just can't believe this.
Oh, what are you doing home? It's not even 4 o'clock.
I've, uh taken a leave of absence from the firm, Jo.
Indefinite.
Two weeks, maybe more, as long as it takes.
I talked to the guys, told 'em we have some family problems...
...and they seemed ok with it.
So... here I am.
Oh, here you are.
Thank you.
- Are you sure? - I am absolutely sure.
- Daddy, daddy! - Hey.
Hey, dad, you're home early.
- Daddy! - C'mere. C'mere.
How you doin'?
- That's my package pickup. - Thanks!
What's going on? What's going on here?
Terrorism task force, stand back.
Take everybody into the living room.
Get away from her! Who's in charge?!
I wanna speak to who's in charge!
You'll have plenty of time to talk, trust me.
Who are you? Why are you doing this?
His name is Broadman, mommy.
Who told you that?
We have a right to know what we're being accused of.
What's this about?
You're being held for reasons of national security...
...under the patriot act. - But we haven't done anything!
We know about the power outage, where it originated.
I need to get something.
- Ok, you go with her. - Yes, sir.
And I'd like to know if you have a search warrant.
I got probable cause, I don't need a search warrant, sir.
- Mom, I'm sorry. - Look.
I want everybody outta here right now...
...and into the vans. Let's get this shut down. Let's go.
All right, you heard him, let's go.
- Daddy... - Now, go!
Get your jackets, it's pretty chilly outside.
- Where they taking us, daddy? - What's going on?
- Where we going? - Mrs. Wilder!
Is everything all right?
Who are these people?
- Where we takin' them? - Not to jail, that's for sure.
Look, seal this place off, go through everything.
Bring me anything that looks suspicious.
Yes, sir.
Go.
I want them inside.
Let's go. Four of you follow me.
Are we good?
This way.
Let's go.
Mr. Broadman'll be in a moment to talk to you.
What's going on here, Noah?
What did you do?
Sweetheart, what aren't you telling us?
I didn't know...
I didn't know what it could do.
I... didn't mean...
You didn't know what what could do?
Th... The machine, the generator.
The generator?
You guys, be quiet, they're probably listening...
...to everything we're saying. Just...
What generator?
I made it with the toys.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, play that last part back.
The machine, the generator.
The generator?
You guys, please, be quiet, they're probably listening...
...to everything we're saying, just...
What generator?
I made it with the toys.
What generator? What toys?
Yeah, we got that from the break room feed.
Now, the next one is a selection from the teacher.
Dave, can you give me the teacher?
I... I don't know anything about any continuation...
...or terrorist cells or anything.
I'm just a science teacher.
I promise you, that's all I do.
I just... I teach science, I went to nepal once...
But... that was just for a vacation.
This next one is the babysitter. Dave.
She... She made her hand dissolve...
...into a billion pieces...
Just... Just...
Like that, I mean...
It wasn't natural, that's...
That's not natural, right? I mean...
She's an alien.
I think they all are.
Am I the only one here...
...who doesn't have a clue to what's going on?
Thank you. We just have a few questions.
Um, could you tell us what these are?
Those are nothing. They're just... toys.
What about this?
That's... just a toy too.
- What are these? - Those are spinners.
- Would you ask her to keep back? - I'm not dangerous.
I can show you.
Uh, it's just a magic trick.
Mimzy showed me how to do this.
Mimzy. Is that mimzy?
- Can we see your bunny? - No!
- We won't hurt it. - No!
- I want her! - It's ok.
- Give mimzy back! - Broadman!
That's a child's toy. What are you doing?
It's not like anything i've ever seen.
Let's do a slice and scan right away.
Sweetheart. Oh, boy.
Broadman, explain what's going on.
I don't know what's going on, you said it was magic.
What kind of magic is that?
What's... Why... Where are they taking it?
How long is it gonna take? What are they doing?
It's not gonna take that long. Just be patient.
- Bring her back now! - What's going on in there?
Ok, here's the slice.
Are you getting this? It's extraordinary.
It's almost as if this thing could alive...
...like it's mimicking the nervous system.
I'm gonna take it down another level. I wanna go deeper.
You're pushing the limits here Steve.
It will start breaking up. Just a bit more.
Whoa! Whoa! Stop!
Look at that.
What is it? You guys see what I see?
Look, I've been at intel for more than two decades.
I know every nanotechnology project ever initiated.
All of them. And we've dreamed about this.
We've dreamed about creating artificial life.
It would be amazing, we'd change the world.
But we are eons away...
...from achieving anything like this. Eons.
All right, let's recap what happened...
...at least the best we can.
We know these things, these... objects...
...are made from technology that no one here's ever seen before.
And somehow they have a intel logo...
...etched in their molecules.
We know that there was a major power outage in half the state.
We know... or at least we think we saw...
A little girl atomize her arm.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
Can I talk?
- Mimzy'd like to speak to you. - She wants to speak? Where?
She's in the other room. She's telling me what to say.
The people in the future can't travel through time.
They need our help.
Something in them is broken.
And we can fix it.
We have what they need.
She says it's in our genes.
Our genes?
They've been sending other mimzys into the past...
To look for it.
But none of them have come back. She says she is the last one.
I'm sorry, this... This is crazy.
Hold it, please let her finish.
She says people can't travel through time.
'Cause they'll die.
So they built dolls to do it...
...like mimzy.
But she won't be here much longer.
She's disintegrating.
Mommy, we have to send her back right away.
She says everybody is dying.
- Ok, that's it. - Please, just let her finish.
She's done. I want more expert brought in on this thing.
On this, there are no experts.
Noah, can you hear me?
I need you.
I need you to help me.
Em, where are you?
Noah, don't talk. I don't wanna wake anyone.
- Do you hear me? - See, you can do it too!
- It's like walkie-talkies. - Better.
We need to get the spinners and the generator.
There's a camera.
What do we do?
Use your spider speak, Noah.
Right.
Got it.
Em...
Took care of the cameras.
I can unlock the door, Noah.
It's locked.
The spinners are breaking. We need more.
- We don't have more. - Yes, we do.
On Whidbey. Under the bed. I can see them.
Well, what good is that gonna do us?
Come on, we have to hurry.
There it is. Come on, Noah. Let's go.
You have to drive us to whidbey.
I can't drive.
Yes, you can. Just like phantom racer.
You can do it. Come on, let's go.
Whoa!
What's that?
This is a lot easier than phantom racer.
Please drive carefully.
What's wrong?
I think we're out of gas.
Now what?
- What? - I was dreaming.
Oh, man, it was so vivid.
You... You know that crab place on highway 20?
Yeah.
I was standing in the parking lot.
No, but it was... It's like I was really there.
Parking lot at...?
Well...
Did you... Did you see any numbers?
- Sorry. - I was standing there...
...and I was waiting for something or someone...
...and I really wanted to run but I couldn't move.
- Honey. - Yeah.
And... I knew something really important was gonna happen.
But then I got scared and I woke up.
Ok.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna go back to sleep.
No, no, you're not gonna go back to sleep.
And you know why?
Because you have to go there.
What are you talking about? This was a dream.
How many of these dreams do you have to have, Larry?
Honey, the universe is speaking to you.
It is?
Larry!
What is it saying?
Well, right now it's saying,...
..."Get out of bed and put on some clothes. "
Check it out.
Do you see that? Do you see that?
You keep doubting yourself...
...and you keep doubting me but do you see that, Larry?
Mr. White, what are you doing here?
What am I doing here?
You're asking me what I'm doing here?
I don't know what I'm doing here. What am I doing here?
He listened to his dream. That's what he's doing here.
Look... Who drove you here?
We drove ourselves.
In that? In the truck?
Wh... What were you doing driving a truck? You're a little boy!
We escaped. We need you.
We need you to help us get to whidbey.
Whidbey? What is on whidbey?
Our house. Where we found mimzy.
Well, we're not gonna be able to help you with that.
I'm so sorry. Because your parents have probably...
...contacted the authorities...
...and we could be arrested for kidnapping.
Larry, could i talk to you? Just give us a second, kids.
I'm so sorry. It's true what I'm say...
What are you doing? We are talking miracles here!
The whole universe is trying to communicate with you...
...and you're worried about...
...something as earthbound as kidnapping?
God, I love you but you drive me crazy.
Come on, it's a long drive.
I don't even know how to get to whidbey island.
I do. Come on, kids, get in the car.
- Can I drive? - No!
Yeah, let the kid drive.
- Why not? - Larry! Get in the car.
Do you guys know how to use seatbelts? Put them on.
Here you go. Here you go.
You got your doll?
Ok, everybody, fingers and toes in. Good.
Seatbelts, please! Ok, whidbey island.
- Hi, this is Jo... - Oh, hi, Jo.
I'm not here right now to take your call...
- So please... - Damn it!
Are you ok?
Does anyone know any games?
- Uh, I spy... - This really is not the time.
Larry!
I don't want mimzy to die.
Mimzy's not gonna die.
Look, trust me. We have all the roads covered.
We're gonna get 'em back. They're just two kids.
The state police got an ID On the laundry truck.
It was abandoned on highway 20.
Highway 20? They're headed to our beach house on whidbey.
- This is it, kids? - What's the rush?
- Hurry up, Noah! - Where are they?
- I'm coming! - Oh, man.
Ok. Just let us know if you need anything.
They got lost.
- We gotta go in. We gotta go in. - Larry, just give them a second.
Don't hover. Larry!
Larry!
- I'm just checking. - It's fine.
Hey, Noah. Hey, Emma.
Hey, what's going on, guys?
- Give them some space. - Can you give me a break?
I'm trying to find out what these kids are up to.
- Here's a perfect spot. - Good.
Help me, Noah. Help me clear it out.
For what?
What, are you having a picnic here?
What are gonna do, Em?
Get the rest.
Oh, yeah!
Is the generator ready, Noah?
Generator? Oh, sure!
It is!
What is it?
Larry, what is that?
I don't know.
You're gonna have to turn it on and aim it right there.
- I'm scared, Noah. - Me too, em.
I love you, mimzy.
That... is...
...weird.
Now, noah. Make it go.
Noah, it's us, we're building the bridge.
It's for mimzy to go back.
This is... This is my dream!
It's like... I'm in my dream.
This is our destiny, Larry.
Goodbye, mimzy. Be a good rabbit.
Noah!
Help!
- Noah, what are you doing? - Put me down! Help!
- I can't! - Noah, turn it off!
Noah!
Emma!
Noah, put her down! Ah!
- Are you ok? - Don't touch it.
- Noah! - Honey, let go!
Emma, we're here now!
- Oh, no, don't! - Emma!
Emma!
Daddy, help!
Get back, stay back.
Help! I'm stuck!
- Emma! - Noah, help!
Why is it doing this? You gotta let her down.
- Let me down! - Dad, take the generator!
Put it down! Make it stop!
- Dad, you have to! - Let me down!
Please, trust me!
I know how to get her down!
Jo, help!
Take it! Take your hand off.
You gotta hold it! I can get to her! I'm coming u p!
- Come on, Noah! - Emma! Help her, please!
Let go! Let go, Emma!
I can't hold on.
Oh, my gosh.
We did it, Em.
- Yeah. - It worked.
Are you all right?
Oh, Noah.
- Sweetie. - Fantastic.
- Did you see the bridge? - That was incredible.
- Oh, my... - I don't understand this...
But I know I'm sorry.
Is there anything I can do for you guys?
Anything at all?
No.
All right.
Dad, can you believe all this?
Noah, you were absolutely amazing.
Honey, I don't know if this means anything...
Yeah?
- But when it disappeared... - Mm-Hm?
...I did see numbers. - Numbers?
Larry! Oh, my god!
- Come on in. - Get a lotto ticket!
Any idea what just happened? Where did Em go?
Emma?
I'll miss you, mimzy.
No, don't stop. What happened to mimzy?
Mimzy returned to her own time...
...as if time had stopped.
It was what the scientist had hoped for.
To find a soul in the past...
...not contaminated...
...by the pollutants that filled our bodies...
...and minds.
Our precious quality of humanity had been turned off...
But in Emma's tears was the instruction for an awakening.
And it spread like wild flowers.
People shed their protective suits.
And over time, humanity blossomed again.
Our world was saved by a child...
...very much like you.
Emma was our mother.
The mother of us all.
All right, children, it's getting late now.
Time to go home.
Don't forget your homework.
See you tomorrow.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, Lena!
Goodbye!
Bye, Lena!
Now, children.
Who wants to tell us how they spent their weekend?
Did you go to the playground?
Did you spend time with your friends?
Anyone?
Well, then. I'll just pick someone.
Emma, why don't you start?
