Original subtitles

- It really worked.

I created a black hole.

For centuries, they though black holes

came from energy and collapse.

But they were wrong.

Energy isn't the cause, it's the symptom.

Time is the source.

Parallel planes do exist, but with different outcomes.

The key is time.

Feed the black hole time.

I know this place.

It's my old town.

Why did I come here?

Anyone there?

- Peter.

Peter, I knew it was you.

It's been so long.

Where have you been all these years?

- I went off to college in NYC.

I'm a physics professor.

And I haven't been back here in a very long time.

Where is everyone?

- Peter, you're,

it's all not safe out here, it's very dangerous.

The Watchers will get you.

Your mother is waiting for you.

Come with me.

- What are you talking about?

Slow down.

Why are we in danger?

Who are The Watchers?

I'm not quite sure how I even got here.

- What is that?

Peter, I'm frightened.

- Peter, you down there, in your dungeon?

Come on upstairs.

I got you a coffee and a bagel, you workaholic.

Peter, your coffee's going to get cold.

I ran five miles today.

That marathon is mine next week.

Hey, promise me when you win the Nobel Prize,

you'll take your little sister on a trip to Europe.

Peter, do I need to come down and get you?

I will carry you up for breakfast if I need to.

- I'll be right up, Sam.

Another one of those might break my back.

- How's Mr. Personality today?

- How are you?

- I thought I would come over early.

I have to get ready for a hot date tonight.

I'm excited.

- Who is this guy?

I don't want my little sister dating any losers.

You're too good for that.

- It's hard to find a good guy out there.

Good luck finding one

that actually pays the restaurant bill.

- Hey, do you remember Mrs. Carlin?

She died, right?

- Yes.

Don't you remember how I embarrassed you at her wake?

How could you forget that?

- It's not important.

This date of yours better not get out of line.

I will make him disappear, literally.

- I have to get going.

By the way, Alex called and said it's coming over.

You're like the only one with a landline phone left.

(footsteps thudding)

- Hey, Pete, you down there?

- Alex, come down here.

You will not believe it, it worked.

- You skipped work all day yesterday

and didn't even call in.

I had to cover your classes.

You okay?

- I experienced the first black hole travel.

All of these years and I finally did it.

- Are you kidding me?

You mean to tell me

that you actually got this thing to work?

Were you dreaming?

- It was real.

I ended up in my own town.

I haven't been back there in 35 years.

I saw my third grade teacher.

Alex, she died 20 years ago, but it was real.

- Brilliant.

Our theory about parallel universes exists,

that would prove the earth is flat.

- Yes, the earth is flat and I was on a parallel plane.

- I want in, and I don't care how dangerous it is.

It's better than paying alimony and dealing with my ex-wife.

How does it work?

You set an alarm on this pocket watch,

then throw it into the black hole.

Once the watch comes back,

it pulls you in and transports you for that amount of time,

then brings you back.

- Pete, I want in.

- Listen, things were different in there,

and I was told something

about it being dangerous with Watchers.

If you want in, let's go, this night.

Are you ready?

- Let's do this.

Oh my God.

Looks like a bomb hit this place.

- No, no, no, this is wrong.

This wasn't the way it was before.

- What happened to this place?

- Look, let's get to some shelter.

We aren't going to be here long.

Come on, let's go in here.

(door hinge creaking)

- Hey, how do you know we will get back?

- What the hell is that sound?

- Peter, what is that across the street?

- It's a Watcher.

- What is a Watcher, man?

- Quiet, both of you.

They will come in here and get us.

Shut both of your mouths.

Get away from the damn door now.

I take it you boys aren't from around here.

If you were, you would be walking around out there together.

- It's a Watcher.

- If those bastards catch you, they will take you away,

never to come back.

They took my wife and children.

Follow their rules and stay alive.

No two people can be seen together.

Come with me if you want to live.

- The Watchers are here to help us.

There is no need to fear them,

but we must follow their rules.

No congregating, no playing, no singing of any kind.

Those who gather in secret

invite judgment upon the whole town.

Silence is obedience.

Obedience is mercy.

Do not raise your voices after sundown.

They are listening.

Blessed are they who follow my word.

- Alex, you recognize this place?

- Yes.

It's the library at the college.

- Whatever that thing is, it's coming through the door.

Let's keep moving.

- Watchers see everything.

They are above watching us,

long before we ever knew their name.

They own every soul.

They are guiding this world toward order.

Do not resist them.

Hail to The Watchers.

Hail to those who rebel,

and they'll erase you like you never even exist.

The Watchers above mankind.

They are guiding this world toward order.

Do not resist them.

Hail, those are watching every road.

Every soul needs to live.

Defy them and you will be erased.

- This place just keeps going, room after room.

What the hell is this place?

- They are guiding this world toward order.

Do not resist them.

- Look, there's a door on the floor.

It's the only way out.

Quick, let's go.

How do we know what's even down there?

- It doesn't matter.

Whatever's behind that door is worse.

We go now.

- We are already dead.

- We need some answers.

Listen, I was here 48 hours ago.

The town was clean.

I saw my third grade teacher, Mrs. Carlin,

she warned me about this place.

What do you know?

- What are you talking about?

I knew Mrs. Carlin, she died 10 years ago.

What, did you both crawl out of a desert?

The whole world's been taken over by aliens or something?

- This is my farm.

I finally got home.

How could this be?

- Hey.

We need to keep moving.

We can't stay here.

Don't let 'em get inside of your head.

- Hey snap out of it.

They got inside our heads.

We need to move out of here right now.

- Help me, help.

Please help me, don't let it take me.

I'm behind the wall.

Hear me.

Please get me out.

- Let's move.

We got to find him, man.

We can't just leave him like that.

- You heard him through the walls, he's alive.

We have to stay alive long enough to get back,

or we are not helping anyone.

- We got to get back.

We should have black holed back by now.

- Shh, keep your voice down.

We should have been brought back by now.

It would seem we're trapped in a parallel dimension,

one where outcomes are different.

People die at different times.

And some even live completely different lives

in each parallel plane.

- I can't move a muscle.

- Reach for the door, you're closer.

Open the damn door, Peter.

- G-C-K-K-K.

- Please, please move.

- Don't look at her.

Don't look at her.

- She's right behind us.

- No, no, no, no.

- Open it.

What the hell was that?

- Impossible.

Only two minutes have passed.

I set the timer for 10 minutes.

It feels like we've been here for a full day.

This can't be.

- What are you talking about?

I mean, you did this before and it brought you back, right?

- No.

No.

Alex.

Alex, where are you?

- Please, open the door.

We're locked in.

Please help us.

They're coming back.

- Uncle Peter, is it really you?

Where's my dad, is he with you?

- Peter, how the hell can it be you?

Where is Jack?

How were you able to escape?

- I haven't seen him.

- I'm looking for a friend too.

If I can help you find your father, I will.

I don't know where we are, but we need to keep moving.

- Hey, hey, I'm in here.

Get me out.

May I go, please?

Get me out, please.

- That's the diner.

- I'm starving.

- Peter, what's on your mind?

- Look, this is going to sound crazy,

but I'm not from this time.

I'm a scientist.

I invented something, something that brought me here.

I don't know who you are,

and I don't know who that little kid is.

I've never met a Jack before.

- Jack is your younger brother.

I'm his wife.

And that little girl, she's his daughter.

He was taken from us.

You and him were taken together three years ago.

Nobody ever saw either of you again.

We thought you were both gone forever.

Peter, or whoever you are, we need to have a talk.

Let's go inside.

You can't leave this place until daylight.

It's forbidden to be outside after dark.

They will take you.

10 years ago, we were visited by other beings.

At first, they just watched us.

Then people started asking questions

about our existence in the world around us.

They didn't like that, so they started taking people away

and punishing the rest of us.

- You're telling me aliens came here and took over?

- We don't call them aliens anymore.

- Then what are they?

- The Over sires.

- And everyone just accepts this?

- The ones who didn't disappeared.

It's not like this where you're from.

- Nothing like this.

But there is some talk that we're going to be

introduced to aliens, when we're ready.

- Peter, no, don't allow it.

That's the first step of the takeover.

Look, in another hour, it'll be daylight.

You can come with us.

You shouldn't stay in those rooms,

they'll play with your mind.

- My best friend is still in there.

- Peter, after you find your friend,

go to 31 Red Maple Drive.

It's up the hill, that's where we live.

Take us with you.

We have nothing here.

And if you go back into those rooms, you may not come out.

- Peter.

- It tastes real,

but this has to be happening inside my head.

- Please excuse us.

- Peter, please sit down.

Congratulations.

You achieved what no human in your plane has ever achieved.

They will remember you as the man who created a black hole.

But history will never know that in doing so,

you became one of the few humans

to step beyond your own reality.

- Nice circus you have created here.

I already know I'm not home, I've accepted that.

But I don't belong here.

I need to find my friend, need to get back to my world.

Tell me how.

- Peter is no longer on the plane you left behind.

Neither are you.

The horroway your machine created

carried you beyond your reality.

There is no road back, only another crossing.

- Then help me make another crossing.

- Your loyalty honors you,

but you misunderstand the nature of reality.

Home isn't as close as you believe.

Every dimension flows through time differently.

While you've been traveling for days,

your world may have lived through decades.

- Stop talking in riddles.

Who gave you the right to destroy these people's town

and enslave them?

Who put you in charge?

- God put me in charge.

You live through the words of Jesus Christ,

the greatest teacher among men.

He said, "My father's house has many rooms."

Take heed, you don't belong here anymore.

Come with me to a world that still needs a mind like yours,

a place where your genius can change everything.

This is your chance, and it won't come twice.

- And if I refuse?

- Then you will walk this maze, blind and dumb.

Beware of the next door you open

because it could lead you further to your destination

by many years.

- If there's even one chance they're still alive,

that's the chance I'm taking.

No.

Where are you?

Come back.

Hello.

Please, no.

Help, somebody help me, please, please.

No, no, no, get them off, get them away.

- Hey, hold on, I'm coming.

I got you.

Stay with me.

Come on, push, push.

That ain't getting through this.

- What's your name, brother?

- I'm Eddie.

I own this mechanic shop.

- Eddie, nice to meet you.

You saved my life, I'm indebted to you.

- Help me hold it.

I was outside with my workers,

then I saw one of those alien things.

I ran in here, heard you yelling for help.

Then my garage door shut.

It never does that.

- Listen, sounds like you just got here.

Don't open that garage door.

There's no telling where it'll take you.

This place, it's one hell of a maze.

It reads your thoughts and your memories.

I lost a good friend in here.

My story would blow your mind.

But one thing I know, this place is a mind trip.

You got to choose the right door or it chooses for you.

- Hey, pal, I know this place has been a little trippy

these last five years,

but I walk in and out of that garage door every single day

and there ain't never been nothing weird about it.

- Hey, hey, you got to listen to me.

You saved my life, now I need to return the favor.

You don't know me, but I'm a brilliant scientist.

I figured out this place

works on positive and negative vibrations.

- Listen, pal, no disrespect,

but that's a bunch of horse shit.

I come from the streets, I'm a survivor.

You don't think I know what those bastards did to our town?

Watchers, my ass.

Listen, pal, I'm going through that garage door.

I'm gonna go home, take a shit, take a shave.

You can stay.

Just don't steal nothing.

Don't open the door.

Too late.

They told me that a hundred times and I never listened.

Someone wants to see you.

He's here.

What is this?

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Peter?

- Eddie, close the damn door right now.

- It's here.

Come on.

- No, Eddie.

Damn it, I told you, damn.

Can you hear me?

- Yeah, I hear you, my son.

So will The Watchers if you don't shut your mouth.

Get in the store now before they take you.

- I ain't going in that room, Padre, it's hell in there.

These things took my Helen.

I got nothing left to give you.

Get out of my face and tell your God to fix that.

- Repent.

Forgive him.

The Watchers are here to help.

- It's over for Padre.

- Lower your voice.

They're coming.

You fool.

- Hello.

Does anyone hear me?

Peter?

Anyone please help.

I'm here if you can hear me.

Damn, who lives here?

They got some spoiled kids.

What?

Who did this?

Oh my God.

They are turning these people into dolls.

What in the hell?

- Help me, please.

I'm still in here.

- What are you doing here, Doc?

- Please, I want my mom.

Mommy, help me.

- Are you here to take our dolls away?

No, no, no.

- How did you get in here?

I didn't put you in my dollhouse.

Don't take my dolls away.

- Dolls, people.

Not me, man.

This is a nightmare.

Wake up, wake up.

- There is no way out.

- Let's see.

Well, little girl, I was coming to take all the dolls,

but I think I'll just leave.

Can you show me how to get out of here?

- She's coming to get you because you didn't play nice.

- What the hell is that?

- He didn't play nice.

He didn't play nice.

He didn't play nice.

- Do you remember this room?

Oh, honey, you would sit here every night.

You'd sit right there and eat your TV dinners

every single night.

You really don't remember me, do you?

- None of this is real.

You're playing with my mind.

Get out of my mind.

Please, please.

Let me go.

Those were the days I was drinking.

I didn't mean it.

I found God now.

I'm a farmer.

- All I wanted was some appreciation.

I just wanted to be noticed.

God loves you, but so does the devil.

You hated me because I couldn't bear your child.

You blamed me for everything

that ever went wrong in your miserable life.

You abused me in every way.

- Carol, I'm sorry.

Forgive me in my ways.

May the power of Christ compel you.

May the power of Christ compel you.

I'm free.

Happy birthday.

(farmer screaming)

- Hello.

Is anyone here?

I think I took a wrong turn.

- What is he doing?

He doesn't know he needs to be quiet.

They are going to stick him with those needles.

- Funny place to end up.

Hello.

Hi, I'm lost, I just.

- Don't say a word.

We have to get to the door.

Run, run.

This way.

Duck egg.

I'm scared to see what's behind the next door.

Those tall monsters took mom and dad.

We have to find them before it's too late.

Wait, shh, shh.

- I'm Peter.

Are you both okay?

- There are people chasing us with needles,

hundreds of them.

- I'm Lisa, and this is my brother, Kyle.

We were outside by the movie theater with our mom and dad.

Dad was trying to sneak us across the border.

Then these two tall creatures showed up.

They pointed something at mom and dad in a bright flash

and they were gone.

Kyle and I ran as fast as we could.

We've gone through four different places already

and this is the fourth one.

- There is a way out of here.

But it all depends on where you came in from.

Every place is connected.

If we can figure out where you entered,

we can map the path to the exit.

The diner is the way out.

We have to find the path that leads to the diner.

You both came in through the theater doors,

and the theater is directly connected to the diner.

These rooms follow the same graphology I've been mapping,

and the connections are by the shortest path calculation.

Then the minimum route from here is only two more rooms.

We don't have to search every door,

we just follow the shortest path.

The diner's our exit.

I'll take you there.

But after I get you both out, I have to come back.

My friend Alex is still trapped in here,

and I'm not leaving without him.

- Alex, the bald guy?

We were with an Alex in our second room

right before we ended up in the psychiatric ward.

He told us he got separated from someone named Peter.

He said he was trying to find his way back to the library.

- The library, it's only three doors from here,

but I don't know what's waiting for me

in those next three rooms.

There's only one way to find out.

Let's get going.

- I hate clowns.

- Boo.

- I have clowns.

I have clouds.

(all laughing)

- Peter, help us.

- Let us out, please.

- I can't breathe.

Get me out.

I can't, I can't.

- The balloon is not real,

the balloon is not real, I'm still walking.

- Peter.

- You got out.

- Listen to me.

You have to believe you're not in the balloon.

It isn't real.

That's the only way out.

The clowns are just mannequins, they're not real.

Don't let them get inside your heads.

- We're with someone who understands.

- The balloon isn't real.

The balloon isn't real.

- It's not real, I'm still walking.

- Pop, pop.

Now, run.

- Look, it's the diner.

- We made it.

- Lisa, Kyle, I've been looking all over for you two.

I found your mother, she's waiting in the car.

I've been worried sick.

This is the safest door out of this place.

We got to move now.

- It sounds like dad.

- No, don't go.

Ask your father a question.

Something only he would know,

something you know he'd never forget.

Go on, ask him now.

- What present did you buy me for my 10th birthday?

The one you told me you traveled all the way to Italy

to get for me?

Dad.

Dad, answer me, please.

- I don't remember, honey, that was a long time ago.

Just come with me through this door.

We'll cross the border and be safe.

Who's that guy you're with over there?

Don't trust anybody.

- That's not your father.

That's not your father.

The children are not yours.

You can't have them.

This is where I have to leave you both.

This journey is one you'll never forget.

Look, there's a chance

you might not find your folks right away.

There's someone I want you both to go see.

Her name is Eve.

Tell her I sent you

and tell her she's to let both of you stay with her.

Her address is 31 Red Maple Drive,

it's right up at the end of the street.

Go there first, you'll be safe with Eve.

From there, you can work on finding your mom and dad.

Good luck to you both.

Just one more room to get to the library.

- Is anyone there?

Please help.

- Someone's here.

- Please.

Someone help me.

- Are you okay?

- Please, you've got to get me out of here.

They're going to come back and they're going to kill me.

Wait, shh.

They're coming back.

Quick, hide.

They can't see you here.

- Come on, we've got to go now.

- Thank you.

I thought I was never getting out.

- Stay close.

We need to find the library before they come back.

- I found you.

- We have to move now.

- There they are.

- Run, don't stop.

Come on, get up.

There, hurry.

- I can show you how to leave this place,

but first, you must give me a token

to pass through the door.

Get dunked, and you leave this place.

- They're coming.

- You see, it really is that easy.

You're next, unless you'd rather stay here

and become my servant forever.

- Finally.

What's this place?

What happened to them?

What's this place?

- Shh, no noise in the library.

Doing some reading today.

Would you like me to remove your head,

so you can think more clearly?

- No, I think I'll keep my head on for now.

- Very well, but keep it quiet.

- Wow, this book really exists.

(footsteps tapping)

Listen, there is only one way out of here.

If we don't make it, we'll end up like them.

Go to the end of the bookcase, then we can talk.

Good to see you again, old buddy.

It's time to bounce.

I've been hiding in here for a day.

I watched five people get their heads cut off

just for making too much noise.

That door is our only way out.

We have one chance, but we have to stay completely silent.

One sound, and we're dead.

(dramatic music)

- I've been looking all over for you in this hell palace.

We only have about 10 minutes

to get back to where we originally entered this universe,

or we'll lose the portal.

- Then we don't have a second to waste.

Stay close, and whatever happens, don't make a sound.

- Put me back.

Put my head back.

- I don't want to be here.

- Run, before they hear us.

- Put me back.

- Move, stay low.

- Put me back, put me back.

Put be back.

- Keep crawling.

Don't stop. We're almost there.

- I finally figured out

how to calculate their time against hours.

According to these calculations,

the 10 minutes we've spent here

equals two years back in our world.

That means every second counts.

If these numbers are right,

we have exactly one minute and 30 seconds

before the black hole opens.

I finally figured it out.

I mapped the maze and calculated where we are.

According to these calculations, we're at street level now.

All we have to do is find the exit

from this department store.

Once we're outside, we head straight for Sims Diner.

If my calculations are correct,

we'll arrive at the black hole at exactly the right moment.

It's synchronized with this pocket watch.

- I've seen some crazy stuff in those rooms.

- Yeah.

It ain't over yet.

Somehow this place measures the vibration of your thoughts

and manifest them into reality.

- What makes you think that black hole is going to be there?

- Looters, get out of my store.

You ain't stealing from me today.

- We're not here to rob you.

We're trying to get out.

- Don't move.

I got my eye on both of you.

- Let's head for the door now.

- I told you to get out of my store.

- Peter, where are you?

I can't believe it's been two years since you've been gone.

I finally got the courage to come down here

and pack your stuff.

Where did you go, big brother?

I miss you, big brother.

Thanks for always looking out for me.

I know you and Alex went somewhere,

but I wish I knew how to find you.

Why did you have to become a scientist anyway?

I'm engaged.

Yeah.

It was actually to that guy

I went out on a date with before you left.

He's such a good man, you would really like him.

His name is Ernie.

Don't you laugh.

I read all of your flat earth papers.

If your theory is correct, then you can be anywhere.

I read all of your journals.

Did the black hole work?

I know you're alive, but where?

- We're out of the maze now.

We just have to find the diner.

Weird thing is, that department store

was part of my childhood.

I stole a pack of chewing gum from there when I was seven.

- Glad we didn't get shot over it.

- Yeah, me too.

Get down.

- This is messed up.

- Every civilization has rulers who convince themselves

they're saving the future

by destroying the people standing in it.

Looks like this world's no different.

Here is the diner.

- So, the black hole is just supposed to pop up?

- Not exactly.

According to this pocket watch,

the black hole should be appearing any minute.

(wind gushing)

Let's hide And stay out of sight for now.

(both panting)

The black hole will only be open for less than a minute.

If we miss it, we'll be stuck here forever.

- She's making noise.

- Remember the rules.

No more than two people gathering and no making noise.

It's time.

Hold onto my arm until we're locked in.

(thunder rumbling)

- Peter.

- Sam, don't go into something in the black hole.

Alex, you have to cut the power.

I have to leave it running.

Shit, I have to go back.

I have to leave now before it closes.

I'm gonna set the alarm for 30 seconds this time.

- I'll go with you.

- Alex, thank you.

But I need you to stay here and make sure we come back.

Now that you're behind the relay, it changes things.

- You be careful out there, brother.

I'll be waiting for you on this side.

- Sis, I need to know this is really you.

- What?

What are you talking about?

- Sam, just answer the question.

- I came through the black hole.

Peter, where is this place?

What happened here?

- Listen to me.

We stay here and wait for the black hole to open again.

If things get dangerous,

we may have to hide in one of those rooms.

You have to listen to me carefully.

No matter what happens, stay with me.

Don't wander off.

If I tell you to run, you run.

If I tell you to hide, you hide.

Do you understand?

(footsteps thudding)

- Peter, you've been gone for two years.

- I missed you, Sam.

But for me, it was only 10 minutes.

I never even shaved once.

Sam, I have to tell you some things.

There are rules to survive here.

Rule number one, no more than two people gather.

Rule number two, no making noise.

Rule number three, disobey the rules

and you end up in slavery

or you can test yourself in the maze.

Rule number four, never roam about the town at daylight.

This world has been taken over by a supernatural force.

The Watchers are coming.

We can't fight them, we can only hide in the rooms.

Shh, I hear them.

Run.

If we have to take our chances,

we always take them in the rooms.

Control your thoughts.

Are you ready?

Sam, I'm sorry I got you into this.

- Peter, what is that?

- When that door opens,

nothing you've believed will matter anymore.

This place doesn't imprison people, it feeds on fear.

It takes your memories, your guilt, your worst thoughts,

and gives them a heartbeat.

- Someone, tell my kids I'm okay.

- My husband was a good man,

I should have stayed faithful.

Tell him I'm sorry.

- Tell my brother, I do have life insurance.

He needs to look for the paper.

- Tell my son it's okay to pull the plug.

I've been in limbo for six years.

- Sam and Peter, you're gonna just walk past me

like I don't exist?

Where are your manners?

Quiet.

You really think that door's going to save you?

Honey, nobody gets out carrying all that guilt.

Stay while.

We should talk.

And you, Peter,

stay with me and I can give you

that feeling of accomplishment over and over again.

Men crave that.

Peter will leave you in this world.

It's going to happen.

Last chance.

Walk away from that door and come with me.

I'll give you everything

you've been chasing your whole lives.

- With Jesus Christ on our side,

how can we lose?

- He doesn't like you.

You think you're too smart.

- Good morning.

Look who's come for breakfast, everyone.
