[children chattering]

[music continues]

(female narrator) Okay, everybody. Ready?

Let's settle down.

Today, I'm going to show you a story.

Let's all tune in together.

A long time ago..

...the soul of our planet was sick.

People had become isolated

and warlike.

Our world was frightened.

It was dying.

But a great scientist

was trying to save us.

He had tried many times

and he knew he could only try...once more.

This was the last Mimzy.

[rumbling]

[beeping]

It's gotta be my new braces. I'm not a terrorist, okay?

Are you sure? Let's see what's in your pockets.

That's the third time she's done that.

We're gonna be late for the test.

- Have you studied? - All night. I'm freaked out.

Come here.

Check your messages.

[beeps]

- Whoa. Gee, thanks, man. - Courtesy of my cousin, Bob.

- Took the test last week. - Cool.

Listen up. Alright? Now, just a reminder.

Science fair projects are due one week after vacation.

[all groan]

Oh, come on! It's gonna be a great fair this year.

There's lots of great exhibits.

Um, you have tests sitting in front of you.

'Noah, you're not an amoeba. You have a spine. Use it.'

Sit up straight. Goes for all of you.

'Come on, guys. Get focused here.'

You have 30 minutes.

[beeps] And begin.

[phones ringing]

- So, how'd you do? - Total joke.

You didn't use the text I sent you.

Mr. White coughed. I think he saw.

- 'You're such a wuss.' - 'Hey, look at this.'

- Whoa. - I'm in the front.

[beeping]

Hey, dude, do you wanna come over?

Can't. Leaving for Whidbey in an hour.

Whidbey?

For Easter vacation?

- How lame! - Tell me about it.

[device beeping]

[violin music]

(female #2) 'Hey!'

(male on phone) 'Sweetheart, how's it going?'

I packed up the car. You are supposed to be home.

We're gonna leave first thing in the morning. I promise.

You gotta the kids there was nothing I could do.

- Oh, sweetheart.. - 'I'm sorry.'

I'm gonna get home late so eat without me, okay?

(female #2) 'Emma, where are you? We're eating.'

- 'Coming, mom.' - 'Okay.'

Noah, it snapped.

'Oh, honey, sit down, we can fix it later.'

Please.

No, you're the sensible genius.

- Why don't you do it? - I can't do it.

- I don't have dexterity. - Dexterity?

- What kind of mutant are you? - Noah.

Fine. Where's the stupid string?

In my stupid hand.

Why couldn't I have a normal sister like everyone else?

Come on, sit down.

So, that we can eat like a family, okay?

Yuck!

- They killed it! - How else would you eat it?

- Mommy, I don't understand. - What?

Why we have to kill it?

He didn't do anything to anyone.

What about that chopped up cow you're eating?

What chopped up cow?

What do you think hamburger is?

Did you have to?

[soft music]

[sighs]

- You there? - Dad!

- You're home. - Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry about tonight. Okay?

Okay?

Oh, you're in a bad mood, are you, hm?

Is it 'cause I'm late?

Hm? What is it? Your sister or school, what is it?

School! School sucks!

Okay.

What else?

[grunts]

What else?

- Life sucks! - Life sucks.

- I suck! - You suck.

Alright. Well, just put it on pause for a second.

Because I-I wanna tell you, y-you're partly right.

Because sometimes life does suck

and sometimes school sucks but..

...you're completely wrong on the Noah Wilder front.

I should know. I mean, I've lived with him for..

How old are you? 10? 10 years.

And, uh, I will put it in writing

money back guarantee, full warranty

whatever you want, to tell you..

...that Noah Wilder does not suck.

In fact

he's the greatest kid I know.

[phone ringing]

- Yeah, yeah. Yeah? - 'Sorry.'

- 'Hope I didn't wake you up.' - No, no.

Ah, no, no, listen. If he accepts the motion, we're done.

Don't you dare, I'll be there in 20 minutes.

Oh!

Sorry, Jo. Take the kids to Whidbey, I'll be there later.

[soft music]

[seagulls squawking]

[music continues]

Come on, get out.

Come on, sweetie. Get out.

Isn't it pretty?

Oh, look at it, it is so beautiful.

[Emma giggling]

I'll get the keys.

[Jo giggling]

Oh, look at it.

I love this place.

(Jo) 'Oh, careful. You okay?'

The magic staircase. Up you go.

- Magic? - Well, kinda.

[cheerful music]

Noah, no. Mommy said you have to wait.

Ah...man, it's cold.

Oh, it's really cold.

Cold water.

What's that?

(Noah) 'I don't know. I'll go see.'

[electronic squeal]

[grunts]

Ah!

[dramatic music]

- Let me. - No, don't.

[electronic squeal]

I wonder if it opens.

[electronic squeal]

Whoa!

[glass]?

What's that?

I don't know.

Read the directions.

Do you see any directions?

(Jo) 'Come on in, guys.'

Keep it a secret.

[glass tinkling]

Dinner's almost on, you coming down?

- Yeah, in a sec. - What is that?

Oh...it.. I don't know.

- We found it on the beach. - Let me see.

(Noah) 'Look at all those triangles.'

It'll make a nice paperweight.

[glass tinkling]

[dramatic music]

[electronic squeal]

[creaking]

[gasps]

[mumbling]

- Mimzy.. - Mimzy?

[Mimzy mumbling]

[whispers] What are you doing, Em?

Get out of my stuff.

What's that new stuff?

And what's that bunny rabbit? Where'd they come from?

- She was on the side. - No, she wasn't.

I think she's the Easter bunny.

Ya-da-da da-da. Give me that. Give this to me.

- Give it-- - No.

Now, look what you did. Give me those.

[Mimzy mumbling]

[mumbling continues]

What are they for?

[mumbling continues]

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

- It's like she's talking to me. - Yeah, right.

[mumbling continues]

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Like this?

[whirring]

[Mimzy mumbling]

It's a spinner, Noah.

Oh..

What?

- How did you do that? - Hold it like this.

No, smo-o-oth.

Close your eyes.

What is this stuff?

[whirring]

Wow!

[Mimzy mumbling]

Whoa!

Holy sh..

[music continues]

[Mimzy mumbling]

(Noah) 'No, don't!'

[electronic squeal]

My gosh!

Are you crazy?

Do you even know what just happened to your hand?

Is it okay?

Mm-hm.

This stuff could be dangerous.

Maybe we should tell someone.

I showed the green-glass thing to mom.

She thought it was a paperweight.

Maybe other people don't see what we see.

Maybe you can use these for your science project.

I'm not even gonna do a science project.

And I bet Mr. White couldn't care less.

[chanting mantra]

[smirks]

[continues chanting]

[snorts]

- Morning, Mr. Willpower. - Morning.

- I thought you were dieting. - I thought you were meditating.

Aren't you supposed to be in nirvana?

I am.

Larry, are you seriously eating that?

I haven't had anything to eat in eight hours.

Oh, really? That's called sleeping.

Here. Come on. Oh, my goodness.

- No. - Yes.

I am not so easily tempted.

- What about him? - Hey, stop it!

Ah, let me focus.

I had another one of those dreams last night.

- Were there any lotto numbers? - No, no numbers.

Just that..

...that same light and that..

...spinning mandala shape, coming down at me.

Oh, are you sure? Because sometimes you forget.

- Historically, you've been-- - No, no numbers.

Just, God, ever since we left Nepal..

...it's that same dream. I don't get it.

It's like the shape is sucking me into it.

- Shh. - It's-it..

Don't talk.

Just...just try not to lose it.

Just...see if it can..

...come back to you, you can remember--

You're trying to get numbers out of me.

- No, I'm not-- - There were no numbers.

This is so sad.

Oh, we could've been so rich.

Imagine how many people we could've helped with that money.

Naomi, let it go, okay?

It was a year and a half ago. It was a total fluke.

You dreamt all six numbers of a winning lottery ticket.

We could've won 18

(together) million dollars.

- I know. - How was that a fluke, Larry?

- Come on, I'm sorry. I know. - Oh.

Really? Is this what's going on right now?

It is, mm-hm.

You think you can just... kiss your way back?

I do. You know what? It's Easter vacation, let's celebrate.

- You're not allowed to-- - Got you.

I tagged you.

- You're it. - Oh.

You're not gonna get me, you can't get me.

(Noah) 'You can't get me. I'm gonna get you.'

[cheerful music]

[Mimzy mumbling]

Em!

Oh, man, that feels good.

[Mimzy mumbling]

You got some pretty intact sand dollars there. They're nice.

[howling]

Reminds me of Mr. White.

Try it. This is Mimzy's shell.

[howling]

[howling continues]

[wind roaring]

[rustling]

* We'll find a shortwave frequency *

* The wave connecting you and me *

* Hello, I love you *

[creaking]

[rattling]

[squeaking]

[buzzing]

[spider droning]

[droning]

[droning continues]

Sweet!

(Jo) 'Wasn't that just the most beautiful day, huh?'

'The beach..'

(Jo) 'Sweetie, come here. I'm cold, I need a cuddle.'

Yes, oh...

That's good. Nice and warm.

God, look at it.

- It's so beautiful. - Mm-hmm.

- I love this. - Me, too.

- Look at all the stars, mommy. - Yeah.

- So big. - Hm.

Are we the only people in the universe?

That is a very big question.

And, um, nobody really knows, honey.

I don't think we are.

I think you're probably right.

So what do you say, guys?

Uh, how about we make some s'mores, hm?

Well, actually, I'm not hungry.

I'm full, too.

My tummy's so full, I'm gonna go upstairs.

Oh!

Me too, I'm-I'm kinda tired.

We can do s'mores tomorrow. Okay, mom?

[windchimes tinkling]

I have a girlfriend named Marcie.

But she doesn't always like me.

She thinks I'm too smart.

And the girls in my class don't talk to me.

Because I like astronomy, and I play the violin.

[Mimzy mumbling]

I know. I'm your friend, too.

Tea, ladies?

What's in there?

[glass tinkling]

[tinkling continues]

[tinkling continues]

[metal clinking]

- Ah! - Huh.

[Emma laughing]

- What did I just do? - How did you do that, Noah?

I don't know, with my brain?

I just looked at it and it..

...disappeared.

[fizzing]

[Emma screams]

[Emma giggling]

It's not funny!

It is to me.

You better clean that up.

You're not the boss of me, okay?

Hey, Noah, Mimzy knows things.

Oh, yeah? What kind of things?

I think she reads minds.

She knows all about us.

Like what?

She knows our names, where we were born

and what kind of French fries I like.

That's nice.

And you know what else?

She said dad's gonna call.

[phone ringing]

That's daddy.

Come on, Mimz..

- Hey, guess what? - I know. Daddy's coming.

Well, how do you know that? He just called me from the car.

Mimzy told me.

(Noah) 'Yeah, Mimzy told her.'

(Emma) Daddy! Daddy's here! Daddy..

[car honking]

- Daddy.. - That's dad, alright.

- Daddy's coming! - Come on, let's go.

- Hey, guys! - Daddy..

- Daddy's here! - Come here , Em.

Hey, bud. How are you?

Huh?

Oh, I'm happy to see you guys.

- 'Hi!' - Hey, you.

Home at last.

They said we're looking for carrots and there were..

- Mom, can you tell a joke? - Oh.

And they were really dreaming of carrots.

Come on, come on, tell a joke!

- Hey, did you.. - Come on.

(Jo) 'I don't know what's got into them.'

'Emma, she just hangs onto that rabbit, day and night.'

And Noah, it's just like he's on another planet, you know.

They're not my babies any more.

- No. - No, it's true.

We haven't played one board game since we've been here. Not one.

You know, we've barely talked apart from at dinner.

And then they run off before they're done. I..

It's really different..

(David) 'They're growing up.'

They'll always be your babies, Jo. Our babies.

(David) 'Alright.'

'Thanks, Mike.'

Grab the bucket, okay.

Alright, here we go.

This one's for you.

Why are you giving me a club?

Dad, I'm not gonna play golf, am I?

Ah, come on, we're gonna give it a try.

Alright.

[glass tinkling]

(David) 'Noah.'

Come give it a try.

No, dad, you know I suck at sports.

Oh, now, this is not a sport. This is an obsession. Come on.

Now, you're gonna like this. Okay.

Now, you wanna line up, right?

There you go. Just get in position.

Now, you don't wanna kill it. You don't wanna kill it, right?

You just wanna let the gravity

just glide the club right down...to the ball.

Alright, it's not about strength, it's about control.

- Okay? - Hm.

You ready? Ho-ho-ho. Hold on. Hold on.

Just want to see right where you are here.

Okay.

[rattling]

Whoa, baby!

I think we've found your sport.

[indistinct chatter]

(Larry) 'And this, ladies and gentlemen'

'is a basic outline on the story of DNA'

'and of the doctors Watson and Crick'

who cracked the genetic code that controls all living things.

We now believe that genes don't just control the way we look.

But also how we think and how we act and how we feel.

So, when people mess with mother nature..

[thud]

...look out.

Because pollutants can change us.

And not just chemical and biological ones.

Cultural ones as well.

(Larry) 'Perfectly good DNA becomes a bunch of useless junk'

'carried from generation to generation.'

And as a case in point, I'd like you to meet

a very special friend of mine.

This is Charlie.

He'd like to say hello, he's a little shy.

How you doin'? You don't wanna come out? I think you should.

[shouts]

[kids laughing]

Gotcha!

Tada.

- Ew! - Gross!

(Larry) 'Oh, yes.'

'Gross, ew, that's right.'

This is what happens when you screw with the code.

And don't tell your parents I said the word "screw." Please.

This is what happens when pollutants contaminate DNA.

Let Charlie be a warning. This could happen to us.

You wanna end up with two heads? I don't think so.

This can happen to all living things.

And in fact, it may be happening right now.

Then...why don't they do something?

- 'Why don't they stop it?' - Excellent question, Wendy.

"Why don't they do something? Why don't they stop it?"

Who is this "they" that Wendy's referring to I wonder, huh?

What do you think?

"They" is all of us.

Right?

[bell ringing]

Okay, thank you.

'See you on Wednesday.'

(Larry) 'Keep working on your science fair projects.'

[indistinct chatter]

You play golf? What's goin' on?

Nothing's going on.

I mean, I was bored out of my mind.

Noah! Do you have a sec? I need to talk to you about this.

Yeah. I'm outta here, dude.

(Larry) 'Just relax, Noah, it's okay. It's not about the test.'

It's about this. Um..

Hey, did you, uh, did you draw this?

Yeah.

Okay. Uh, what was your inspiration?

I mean, where did you come up with this design?

I was just scribbling. I do it all the time.

And I've got a whole bookful.

- May I? - Here are a few of 'em.

That is incredible.

My favorite one, there's a few.

Hm.

Beautiful...do you know what these are called?

No.

They're actually called mandalas.

- Have you ever seen one before? - Mandalas.

No. Never heard of one or seen one.

Noah, would it be alright if I borrowed these for a while?

Borrow all you want.

'Trade you for an A. Only kiddin. See ya.'

Sure it's not in one of the other books?

No, it's in here, it's one of the old ones. I've seen it.

There it is.

I knew it.

It's 12th century, it's one of the oldest known.

(Larry) 'Oh, my God. That is incredible.'

'It's almost an exact match.'

- Huh. - And you know something else?

This is the same image from my dream.

Larry..

[howling]

[howling continues]

Hey, Noah, you know what time it is?

Yeah, I know, it's late, but you gotta see this.

Oh, I mean it's way past your bedtime, bud.

It's, uh..

'What is that?'

It's part of my exhibit for the science fair at school.

'That's amazing, how did you do that?'

(Noah) 'It was easy.'

'First, I discovered spiders are sensitive to sound waves'

'and seem to move when they hear various frequencies.'

'Then I experimented with the frequencies'

'to make them move in specific patterns.'

I calculated their movements with my computer

and I re-programmed them.

Their circular webs started changing

into something more elongated.

I call it..

...the structured bridge.

[crowd exclaiming]

This geometric design is extraordinarily strong

and would be equal to a beam that could hold

'one thousand pounds per square inch.'

Did he do this on his own? Did you help him?

No, he's done it all by himself.

He's just, sort of, taken off all of a sudden.

You know, in the last month or so.

His sister is highly gifted, too.

No, no, no. This is more than highly gifted.

This is genius. He's gonna win The National Science Fair.

(Noah) 'That exist today, a bridge of this type.'

Could span the entire solar system.

[all applauding]

Are there any questions?

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves.

"Did gyre and gymble in the wabe.

"All Mimsy were the borogoves

and the mome raths outgrabe."

Wait, did that say Mimzy ?

Uh, yep.

Let me see.

(Emma) 'Look, she's got Mimzy, too.'

- The white rabbit? - Yeah.

- Okay. - And this is Mimzy.

She came here to find me. I don't know why.

White rabbit, just like in the book.

Now, he was the one who was always late.

For a very important date.

[both laughing]

- Where did you get it? - We found her on the beach.

Noah thinks she's from outer space.

But he doesn't really know.

- Outer space. - Do you believe in aliens?

Aliens? Like flying saucers and things like that?

Yeah, I guess I do, sort of.

Noah does, too.

Oh, well, boys.

Mm-hm.

Do you think aliens would ever come here?

Some people think they might be here right now

and we don't even know it.

- Really? - 'Mm-hm.'

But...what do they want?

I don't know.

Noah doesn't know if they're good or bad.

They might help us or kill us

Or maybe steal our brains.

Steal our brains?

Hm.

If I show you something, promise you won't tell?

Oh. Like...a secret?

Really? Cool.

(whispers) What kind of secret?

I can do a magic trick with my hand.

Really? Yeah. Show me.

- Okay. - Whoop. Thank you.

[Emma chuckles]

[buzzing]

That's, um...that's really a great magic trick, Em.

[squealing]

Honey, come here.

Sweetheart, please, come here!

'Come here, okay?'

[shouting] 'No.'

- Oh, my God. - It's okay. It doesn't hurt.

- Watch. - Oh, my God.

[Julie shouting] 'No, no!'

Julie! What happened? What's wrong? Don't you wanna get paid?

I-I gotta go! I gotta go home!

- 'Julie, what's wrong?' - Honey, are you okay?

- What happened? - Nothing.

What happened? What'd you do?

Nothing, daddy. I just showed her a magic trick.

[kettle whistling]

I'll call Julie in the morning. I'm sure it was nothing.

It's not just Julie. It's everything.

I mean, what about Noah's science project? Huh?

Hm.

How did he do that all by himself?

I mean, usually he struggles, he needs my help

and suddenly he's in a league of his own.

- Something is just not right. - What's not right?

Look, we got two special kids with great minds, imaginations--

No, you're not getting it.

You know, I'm scared. I..

It's-it's just not normal.

Don't talk like that. Look, you're overreacting to this--

David, stop it. Open your eyes.

I think we need to do something. We have to get help.

Yeah, well, alright, we'll get help. Um.

What kinda help?

[whirring]

[whirring]

[glass tinkling]

[tinkling continues]

[tinkling continues]

[tinkling continues]

No! No!

Uh!

[whirring]

[buzzing]

A-ah!

(male #1) What was that?

Hey, George! What's goin' on? Stop messin', ain't funny.

[alarm beeping]

(male #1) 'Whoa, I just lost power in sector 4.'

'Keith, see if you can reroute power through substation 5.'

[no audio]

'Sector 3's offline.'

- Homeland security? - Yeah, no kidding.

Oh, my gosh.

- Hey, Noah, you alright? - Daddy, what's happening?

Hey, sweetie. It's-it's a blackout.

The whole neighborhood's dark.

Did you guys hear that sound?

(Jo) 'They're saying that it's blacked out half the state.'

Unbelievable.

They don't know what's caused it.

No, well, they-they will.

They always know exactly how these things start.

- They do? - Oh, yeah.

- Oh! - That didn't last long.

- Yeah. - Are you okay?

I'm going down there now.

Oh, man, it's been a crazy morning.

The FBI, the Pentagon's been calling.

Look, I can't talk right now, Bill.

Well, somebody has to have the keys.

Look, Bill, just get everybody down there now.

- 'It's Lorna.' - Who?

Your daughter, Nate. She wants to know what's happening.

Tell her the President wants to know too.

Hey, baby, you know where my computer codes are?

He'll call you back, honey.

Did you try your dresser, under your underwear?

Ah, got it.

I knew you should never have agreed to this.

You had a perfectly good job at the Justice Department.

And now, all of a sudden, you're a terrorism expert.

The National Director appointed me. What do you want me to do?

Call in sick?

But no one ever actually thought you'd..

This is Seattle, Nate. Why would terrorists attack Seattle?

I don't know, Sheila. Look, we got the Boeing plant.

We got Microsoft.

We got the musical experience.

[chuckles] I don't know, babe. I gotta go.

'I'll call you later, baby.'

- Nate.. - Huh?

- Your fly. - Who?

- Zip up your fly. - Oh, oh, oh, thank you.

- Thank you. I love you, baby. - Mm-hm.

It grew right in front of my eyes.

I moved stuff inside the crystal.

And then whoosh.

Half of the state blacked out.

What do you think it is, Noah?

I don't know but we have to throw it out.

All of them, all of the toys.

- Everything, it's dangerous. - No!

Em, what if something terrible is about to happen?

- That won't happen. - How do you know?

- Mimzy told me. - Mimzy, she's one of them.

She came with them.

[Mimzy mumbling]

[mumbling continues]

[dreaming] Tesseract, acute, hexagon, rhomboid.

Acute, tesseract, pyramidal, octahedron...

Acute, helix, hexagon.

Tesseract, octahedron, acute, helix.

Acute, pyramidal, octahedron, tesseract..

[glass tinkling]

[intense music]

Whoa!

Good morning. Good morning, everyone.

- Morning. - Morning, sir.

For those of you who don't know

I'm Regional Director Nathaniel Broadman

and this is briefing one of alert 22D.

I think this is the day we've been training for, everybody.

Training? Nate, we've only had two meetings.

And thank god for those.

Look, we're gonna do this right, we're gonna do it by the book.

Stu, you're up first. What have you got?

This is from NSA.

Global positioning has zeroed in on

the Queen Anne section of Seattle.

No suspicious net chatter.

How could a surge like that originate from

a residential neighborhood?

That's what we wanna find out.

I got a very bad feeling about this one.

This is important.

No, I'm not taking them to the emergency room.

Look, uh, I know Dr. Sherman very well.

Please get him to call me.

Eat up, guys.

- Can you get me orange juice? - Uh-huh.

Can youpleaseget me some orange juice?

Mm!

[engine revving]

I had a strange dream last night.

I dreamed about a bridge.

- What kind of bridge? - I don't know what kind.

I dreamed that they were gonna build a really big one.

Across the whole universe.

And you know what?

It's gonna come right to our house.

[doorbell rings]

- Hello, Noah. - Mr. White.

- 'Who is it, Noah?' - Is your mother...oh..

Hello, Mrs. Wilder. I'm so sorry to barge in on you like this.

I was gonna call but I thought it would be better

if I came by in person. This is my fiance, Naomi.

- Hello. - Do you have a minute?

- Uh, sure, come on in. - Great. Okay, thank you.

- Can we sit down? - Please.

Uh, Noah, do you think your mother and I

could have a moment or two alone, please?

Okay, go finish breakfast, sweetie.

I guess. Sure.

Whatever.

- Um, is everything okay? - 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 a mandala.

It's a symbolic representation of the universe.

This one's actually almost a thousand years old.

Uh, it's beautiful, but why are you showing it to me?

These were drawn by your son.

[dramatic music]

Noah drew these?

- Amazing. - 'Wow!'

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 Tulkus.'

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 these kids and I had the honor

to look at their palms, which was..

Naomi studied with a palm reader for several years. She's 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.

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.

[sighs]

Okay.

Let's see.

Do you see anything?

This is a very good hand.

Really.

This is what the Lamas would callauspicious.

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..

Okay.

[instrumental music]

What is it? What's wrong?

Huh, this is a...a very special hand.

Do you see how simple the lines are? How..

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 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 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 in the book.'

She told me it was called the seven 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.

Hm.

You gotta, you gotta stop thinking about this stuff.

- You really do. - No, I can't!

David, the lines on her hands.

I've never noticed them before.

Alright, look..

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 think you're just making way too much out of it.

'Oh, David, you said that we'd get help now.'

Alright, what are we gonna tell the doctor?

Our kids have funny lines 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?

[Mimzy mumbling]

But I don't want the world to end.

Ever.

I love the world.

[Mimzy mumbling]

I don't want it to die.

[Mimzy mumbling]

I know.

[Mimzy mumbling]

I know.

With all my heart.

I love you so much.

[footsteps approaching]

- Good morning, everybody. - 'Hey.'

- Morning - Hi.

- Can I get you something? - No, no, no. I got it.

And 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.

- Yeah. - Hey, Noah, stop.

Noah, where are your glasses? How come you're not wearin' 'em.

Don't worry about it. It's okay.

- Noah, go and get your glasses. - I don't need 'em.

[chuckles] Of course, you do. Now, go get your glasses.

Mom, lighten up.

Noah, come on. Don't talk to your mother that way.

- Do what she said. - Oh, but dad, I-I'm--

- No, go get your glasses, okay? - I think Mimzy's sick.

What's that?

- I think Mimzy's sick. - Mm-hm?

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.

Here's what I'd like you to do.

I'd like you to just...put Mimzy away, put the rabbit away

so 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, okay?

Alright? Just..

Could you pass the sugar?

[instrumental music]

[clink]

Ah!

Dad, you don't need that much sugar.

And all of a sudden, 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.

Come on, this is not a metaphor we're dealing with.

It's way beyond metaphors at this point. It's not--

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..

We called you because we thought that

maybe it could be related to Noah's drawings

and the paintings in the book.

Uh, 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.

Alright, 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.

Oh!

Hi, mommy.

I learned this from Mimzy too.

- Emma! - Mommy, please, it's alright.

Okay. Now, I-I need you to give me Mimzy.

- No! No! - Give her to me, Emma!

- Emma, just give her to me now. - Jo, stop, stop.

Okay, David, please.

- No, mommy, no! - Noah, I..

It's those things they found on the beach.

I want them out of here 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. - No! Mom!

- 'Everything's gonna be fine.' - 'Bring her back!'

- '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! Mom!

(David) 'Noah!'

[dramatic music]

[sobbing]

[doorknob clicks]

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.

Mm!

- Why are you showing me that? - It's about Alice.

Going through the looking glass.

I think it explains what the machine is.

(Noah) '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.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

Emma?

Emma?

Emma, what's happening?

Emma!

Emma!

Em!

Oh, my God!

[panting] Emma!

[sobbing] Emma!

[breathing heavily]

'Mom! Dad!'

- Emma. - 'What is it?'

'I think Emma's hurt!'

- 'Hold on, hold on, Noah.' - I'm alright.

(David) 'Jo!'

Oh, my gosh!

(David) 'Emma, it's gonna be alright. Hold on.'

What is it? What happened?

- What's goin' on? - Noah?

- What's goin' on, huh? - I'm okay, mommy. I'm okay.

I think she was dreaming. She must've fallen out of bed.

I 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.

You know what? I'm gonna put you back into bed.

(David) 'Goodnight, Noah.'

Oh, David!

[sobbing]

Mr. and Mrs. Wilder, let me explain this to you.

We are born with over a hundred billion brain cells.

The connectors are called synapses.

And by the time a child reaches the age of 3

its brain has formed about a thousand 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...alright with you.'

Oh, I-I don't know.

I..

[sighs] 'I just can't believe this.'

- Hey. - Hey.

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 told the guys we have some family problems

and they seemed okay 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!' - Come here. Come here.

[door bell rings]

- 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! Get away! Who's in charge?

I wanna speak to who's in charge.

You'll have plenty of time to talk, trust me.

(Jo) 'Who are you? Why are you doing this?'

- His name is Broadman, mommy. - Who told you that?

We should 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.

- Okay, you go with her. - 'Yes, sir.'

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.

I want everybody outta here and into the vans.

Let's get this shut down. Let's go.

Alright, 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? - Is everything alright?

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. The four of you follow me.

Are we good?

This way.

Let's go.

'Mr. Broadman'll be in, in a moment, to talk to you.'

[whispering] 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's 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?'

- Emma. - They're not dangerous.

I can show you.

[whirring]

[screeching]

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! Give her 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.

- Sweetie.. - Oh, boy.

Broadman, explain what's going on.

I don't know, you said it was magic. What kinda magic is that?

Where are they taking it? How long's it gonna take?

- What're they doing? - It's not gonna take long.

- Just be patient. - 'Bring her back now!'

(Noah) 'What's going on in there?'

Okay, here's the slice.

[whirring]

Are you getting this? It's extraordinary.

It's almost as if this thing is 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.'

- 'It will start breaking up.' - 'Just a bit more.'

Whoa! Whoa! Stop! Look at that.

- What is it? - 'You guys see what I see?'

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.

Alright, 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 an 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?

(Emma) 'Can I talk?'

[Mimzy mumbling]

Mimzy would like to speak to you.

She wants to speak? Where?

She's in the other room. She's telling me what to say.

[Mimzy mumbling]

The people in the future can't travel through time.

[Mimzy mumbling]

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?

[Mimzy mumbling]

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 build dolls to do it. Like Mimzy.

[Mimzy mumbling]

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.

- Okay, that's it. - Please, just let her finish.

She's done. I want more experts brought in on this thing.

On this, there are no experts.

(Emma) 'Noah, can you hear me?'

'I need you.'

'I need you to help me.'

[whispering] Em, where are you?

(Emma) 'Noah, don't talk. I don't wanna wake anyone.'

Do you hear me?

(Emma) 'See, you can do it too!'

'It's like walkie-talkies. Better.'

(Emma) 'We need to get the spinners and the generator.'

[door creaking]

There's a camera.

What do we do?

(Emma) 'Use your spider speak, Noah.'

Right.

Got it.

[door creaking]

[droning]

[droning continues]

Em!

Took care of the cameras.

I can unlock the door, Noah.

[dramatic music]

[whispering] It's locked.

[Mimzy mumbling]

[creak]

[Mimzy mumbling]

- 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.

(Emma) 'There it is. Come on, Noah. Let's go.'

[dramatic music]

- You've 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.

[engine starting]

Whoa!

[misfiring]

(Noah) 'What's that?'

'This is a lot easier than Phantom Racer.'

Please drive carefully.

[engine sputtering]

What's wrong?

I think we're out of gas.

Now what?

[giggling]

- 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?

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.

Okay.

- 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're 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."

[Emma humming]

Check it out.

(Naomi) '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.

- 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--

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 know how to get to Whidbey Island.

- I do. Get in the car. - Can I drive?

- No! - Yeah, let the kid drive.

- Why not? - Larry! Get in the car.

Do you know how to use seat belts? Put them on.

Here you go. Here you go.

You got your doll?

Okay, everybody, fingers and toes in. Good.

Seatbelts, please! Okay, Whidbey Island.

[phone ringing]

- 'Hi, this is Jo.' - Oh, hi, Jo.

'I'm not here right now to take your call..'

Damn it!

[Emma sobbing]

Sweetie, are you okay?

Does anyone know any games?

- Uh, I spy.. - This really is not the time.

- Larry! - I don't want Mimzy to die.

(Naomi) 'Mimzy's not gonna die.'

[sobbing]

Look, trust me. We have all the roads covered.

We're gonna get 'em back. They're just two kids.

State police got an ID on the laundry truck.

It was abandoned on 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.

Just let us know if you need anything.

[keys jangling]

They got lost.

- We gotta go in. Gotta go in. - Larry, give them a second.

Don't hover. Larry! 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?

(Larry) '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?

- Are you having a picnic here? - What are we gonna do, Em?

- Get the rest. - Oh, yeah!

[whirring]

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.

[Mimzy mumbling]

[Mimzy mumbling]

I love you, Mimzy.

[Mimzy mumbling]

[electronic screeching]

- Oh! - That...is...weird.

Now, Noah. Make it go.

[electronic whirring]

[whirring]

[whirring continues]

[whirring continues]

Noah, it's us. We're building the bridge.

It's for Mimzy to go back.

Oh!

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!

(Naomi) 'Oh, my gosh.'

- Noah, what are you doing? - 'Put me down. Help!'

- I can't! - Noah, turn it off!

Noah, help.

Emma!

- Noah, put her down! - Ah!

- Are you okay? - 'Don't touch it.'

- Noah! - Honey, let go!

[helicopter whirring]

Emma, we're here now!

- Oh, no, don't! - Emma!

Emma!

- Emma! - Daddy, help!

Get back, stand 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!

(Noah) '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, Em!

- Come on, Noah! - Emma! Help her, please!

- Let go! - Let go, Emma!

I can't hold on.

Oh, my gosh.

[rumbling]

We did it, Em.

- Yeah. - It worked.

- Are you alright? - Yes I am, mommy.

Oh, Noah.

- Sweetie. - Fantastic.

- Did you see the bridge? - That was incredible.

(Broadman) I don't understand this but I know I'm sorry.

Is there anything I can do for you guys?

Anything at all?

No.

Alright.

(Noah) 'Dad, can you believe all this?'

(David) '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! Oh my..

- Come on in. - Get a lotto ticket!

[indistinct chatter]

(Larry) 'Any idea what just happened?'

(David) 'Where did Em go?'

'Emma?'

I'll miss you, Mimzy.

[Mimzy mumbling]

(Noah) 'No, don't stop. What happened to Mimzy?'

(female narrator) 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.

Alright, children.

It's getting late now.

Time to go home.

'Don't forget your homework.'

See you tomorrow.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Lena.

'Goodbye.'

'Goodbye.'

Bye, Lena.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

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?'

[Roger Waters singing "Hello, I love you"]

* Have you heard it was on the news *

* Your child can read you like a bedtime story *

* Like a magazine *

* Like a has-been out to grass *

* Like afternoon T.V. *

* Why is my life going by so fast *

* Hello I love you *

* Is there anybody in there? *

* Put down the phone *

* Shut up the shop *

* Make all their techno babble stop *

* We'll find a short-wave frequency *

* The wave connecting you and me *

* Hello I love you *

* Have you heard *

* It was on the news *

* The general staff can't figure out *

* Is this campaign win or lose *

* Life is long but it goes fast *

* The kids will have to separate *

* Their future from our past *

* Hello I love you *

* Is there anybody in there? *

* The ghosts are walking by my side *

* I feel their love I feel their pride *

* For I have built a bridge or two *

* Bridges between me and you *

* Hello I love you *

* Have you heard *

* It was on the news *

* You can make your peace *

* On the dark side of the moon *

* I'll see you there *

* We can rock 'n' roll *

* We can make our choice *

* We can say goodbye or say hello *

* Hello I love you *

* Is there anybody in there *

* Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello *

* Hello, is there anybody in there? *

* Is there anybody in there? *

* Is there anybody in there? *

* Hello, hello, hello, hello *

* Hello, hello, hello, hello *

* Hello, hello, hello, hello *

* Hello, hello, hello, hello *

* Hello, hello *

* Is there anybody in there? *
