(suspenseful music)

- You know I really don't understand why

it takes so long to get this mess cleaned up.

- It's hard to round up good peons these days.

I'll have my monitors keep a lookout.

- Don't bother. The earthquakes have stopped.

Jay must be back. I want him. No more excuses.

- Don't worry Macro.

He won't get away this time.

- Now that we have Alpha and Flash,

he'll complete the set.

- We'll hunt him down to the ends

of the earth if we have to.

(ominous music)

- I know it hurts, but you'll get over it.

I'll take care of you.

- I have to leave. Macro will lock us both up

if he finds me in the towers.

- Where are you going to go? Tell me,

I'll come find you when I can.

- I don't know, I'll find somewhere.

Maybe I don't belong in this world.

- Course you do.

Jay you're one of us.

We've all been abandoned.

- Doesn't that bother you?

- And wasn't it better to face facts?

Remember he left you.

- You're right.

If my dad left me.

Then I never want to see him again.

- Then stay here with us, with me.

- It doesn't make any difference.

I can't get him out of my head.

- Wait, maybe I can help you forget.

(Breathing heavily)

- Well?

- Never heard anything like it before.

The ramble gates surge is colossal.

- Really? What does that mean?

- Your head is very noisy inside.

- I know that. Medea said you'd

be able to shut it off.

- Calm down. I will, but science takes time.

No one has ever had the courage to even attempt

to research about the Dad.

- Dad.

I don't have a Dad.

- Good. We're making progress.

- How long will he need the uh...

- Oxygen?

It's hard to say. He was having trouble breathing.

We'll have to keep a close watch on him for awhile.

- Why's the peon sitting around?

Those petty guests better be spotless.

- You missed a spot.

- No way, look it.

- He said you missed a spot.

- Yeah, I guess you're right.

- Hey! What are you...

- You're gonna be pounded peon!

- Come on, I'll take you both on!

- What is going on here?

- The peon belongs in the pit!

- The pit's too good for him.

Take him to the library.

- I must be crazy. I stuck my neck out

to save you from the monitors.

A little appreciation would be nice.

- Okay. Can I go to the pit now?

- Why don't you just knock a lender?

It's not so bad when you get used to it.

- How long did it take you, a minute?

- Just be quiet and continue working.

- (Sigh) This is a library of truth.

I bet anything you want to know

you can find in here.

- Just about.

- What's in here.

- Medea's private collection.

- You ever read it?

- No.

- (laugh) Didn't trust you with the key, eh?

- I have the key right here.

The position of head librarian carries

certain responsibilities.

I took an oath.

(clears throat)

- Your Royal Highness

- Mask off peon.

I'd like to go to my throne.

- I'm afraid that's impossible.

Your Macho Supremo-ship.

- Who says? It's my throne.

- Fractal's orders sir.

He's engaged in a very dangerous experiment.

- Carry on.

- Comfy?

Tell me what you feel when I turn on the juice.

- Nothing.

- Really?

- What is it Macro dear?

- I've been hearing some disturbing rumors

about you, Medea dear.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I wouldn't want to trouble you.

What have you been hearing?

- Don't play with me.

Did you bring him here?

The kid, Jay.

- (laugh) That's silly.

- That's what I thought.

You heard that.

She said no.

- She was so sincere.

She's gotta be lying.

- Find out where she's hiding him.

- Jay's in the tower. Medea brought him.

- That's just peon gossip.

Jay would never come to the tower with her.

- They say he's sick.

We got to help him.

- Why?

He turned his back on us. On the whole world.

Why should I care about him? Even if you was here.

- Boy, was he ever wrong about you?

- You have no right to say that.

You don't know how I feel. No one does.

- What are you afraid of?

- Not you peon.

- Where'd you get that?

- Fractal had it brought back from the lighthouse.

Look.

- That explains everything.

You must have touched it.

- Do you want to see or not?

That's what I would be. If Jay makes the two worlds one.

- What? With that leg thing?

- Yes.

Limping.

Falling.

- But she gets up.

It's the same for everybody. You fall down, you get up.

- You don't know anything. You think it's so simple.

- Maybe I'm the one in chains,

but you're the real prisoner here.

- Sierra. Hi, I'm Val Ziegler.

- Hi, Nice to meet you.

- I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm so glad you've agreed to help us

get out the driftwood message.

- Oh, no problem. I'm very glad to help.

So how long has your son been a patient here?

- A few months, but it feels like forever.

- Do you think I could see him?

- Sure. I don't think that would hurt.

Come on.

How's he doing?

- No change.

Hi.

- Hi.

- I don't care what it takes Fractal.

Just do it.

Hurry.

- We're dealing with highly volatile elements here.

First of all, there's you.

Then there's this super iodized crystal fragment.

Then there's this.

I call it Gardivonium.

If the tiniest bit of crystal comes into contact with it,

the whole world could go up in flames.

- Just do it fractal.

Dad!

- What?

- Nothing.

- You distinctly said dad.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- You're resisting Jay. How can I be expected

to succeed if you won't cooperate.

- You're right. It's my fault.

- Good. Let's try again.

- No, it's my fault he left me.

It must've been.

- Your fault?

You mean you did something wrong,

and now you feel something?

- Yeah. I feel guilty.

- Guilty. Guilty?

(mumbling)

There's no guilty here.

No one has ever felt like you feel.

- This was a bad idea Fractal.

I'm never going to forget.

- Just stay back. Don't don't go near me.

Don't go near the crystal. Jay Don't.

Don't! You could unleash the power of a thousand suns.

- I don't care about anything!

- Medea. I'll get Medea down here.

Please Jay, I'm begging you. Don't.

(Alarm sounds)

- DAD!

(ominous music)

- Get back! I'll do it, I'll do it!

- Okay! Medea, Medea we have a problem.

- (Medea) What is it Fractal?

- It's Jay.

- What did you do?

- He's gone berserk. If the Gardivonium

comes into contact with the ionized crystal...

- Will you turn off that alarm!

- Jay, put it down, please.

- Stay back! If anybody gets any closer

the whole world goes with me.

- He's a human time bomb.

He could blow us all sky high.

- Attack team, move into position.

- What's wrong with him?

- He has guilt. He called it guilt.

- Guilt?

Why should we believe you Fractal?

- Wait, what's guilt?

- He doesn't like himself.

- I told you he was a goof.

- My SWAT team can take him.

- No way! What are you crazy? He'll do it.

Let me try something.

- Fine. I mean, you got us into this mess.

You and brainiac over there.

- Jay. I'm going to get Flash.

The least you can do is stay here until he comes.

Please.

- Flash is here?

- Good. That'll buy us some time.

- Wow. You're Sierra Jones.

- Guilty. Who are you?

- I'm Donna. This is Keith.

What's going on?

- Um, I don't know. Mrs. Ziegler's in there with Max now.

- Not a good time kids.

- Flash hurry, Come quick! You have to speak to Jay!

- I told you he was here.

- He's threatening to blow up the world.

- I told you not to bring him here.

- Okay? I admit it.

I may have made a mistake. Now come flash.

- Say please.

- Fine. You want me to beg, I'll beg.

This is no time to fool around.

I beg you to come with me and speak to Jay. Now.

- I just asked you to say please.

- Please?

- Okay. Come on Alpha.

- Not now. I've got some important research do.

- Get back! I'm not joking!

- Go on. Talk to him.

- Flash?

- Do what you want Jay, they don't care about you.

- Flash you promised!

- I never. He can do what he wants.

Go ahead pal. I'm with you.

- What is the plan Medea? Got any other great ideas?

- Flash, talk to him. Ask him why he's doing this.

- You wouldn't understand.

- You don't know how I feel inside. No one does.

- Not this again. I don't care, I'm with you.

- There's chains on your legs. Medea!

- He's under house arrest for helping you escape.

Have you forgotten what he did for you?

- Never.

Set Flash free.

Get those chains off him.

- (Medea) Go on. Do it.

- Ah, ah, ah, ah, gently.

- Next Macro, free passage from the tower.

- Of course Jay, anything you want?

- You can't let him go.

- I'm lying.

- With whoever I want to take with me.

- No, no way.

All right.

Free passage for you and your two friends.

Okay?

- (Medea) Put it down, Jay.

You won.

- That was cool.

You really had them going.

- I want you and your friends outta here in one hour.

Seal the exits.

- You okay?

Where's alpha. I should at least say goodbye to her.

- She's in the library Jay.

She didn't even want to see you.

- (Flash) Well Alpha it's been nice knowing you.

But I got to go now.

- (Alpha) You're free? How?

- Jay got us both out of here. If you want.

What's this?

- Nothing.

Medea's collection.

- Hey that's Medea.

Who's the big guy?

- Jay's dad. Medea's been lying to him.

She knows his dad is here.

- Well then what are you going to do about it?

- Medea's gone soft on the kid.

Don't let her out of your sight.

- Then what?

- Well, I was thinking she'd make an appealing peon.

- (laugh) Of course, then you'd need

a new executive advisor.

- And I know the perfect candidate.

- Macro will keep his promise for about five minutes.

Don't you have to pack or something?

- I don't think I'm part of the bargain.

Macro will keep you to two friends.

- I didn't say which two.

Alpha won't come with me anyway.

- Don't worry. I'll find you.

It wasn't your fault your dad left.

- Then why'd he leave me?

- The only one who could answer that is your dad

and he's not here right now.

Who is it?

- (Flash) It's me flash and uh Alpha.

She wants to talk to you.

- Now of all times.

- Tower schemes. They never stop.

- We have to talk, about Jay.

- Can't this wait at least until he's gone.

- No, it can't.

- Now I know why you stayed with him.

He's so different. He's so dangerous.

- If you like him so much,

and you're not just playing with him,

then you have to tell him the truth.

- What do you mean the truth?

- That you know Jay's dad is here.

- Now you sound as loopy as Jay.

- Quit lying. I saw the picture.

You and Jay's dad were right there.

- Does this mean you violated your sacred oath of office?

- Forget the stupid oath.

Why aren't you trying to keep him from finding his dad?

- We have to think about our whole world here Alpha.

What Jay doesn't know won't hurt him.

- What Jay doesn't know is killing him Medea.

Either you tell him or I will.

- Can't we come in? Just for a minute?

- One minute starting now.

- Wow. What'd he do, try to break out?

- He'll be okay. I know it.

- You talked to him.

- Yes. That's how I knew you were the wrecker.

He said someone would come after him.

- He was right.

I'm going to hunt him down.

I want the truth.

- Well, you better get going.

Macro's hours almost up.

- Are you with me?

- Yeah.

- Yes. No matter what.

- Jay's breathing is better.

- (Macro) Open up in the name of Macro.

- Just a minute.

- Medea, we'll break it down.

- Come on, there's a way.

(loud banging)

Go, quick!

- Here you go.

(banging intensifies)

- You can come with us.

- No, my place is here in the tower.

Go, go on.
