- [Jay] The doctor said I was in the coma.

Maybe I was,

but there is a world beyond consciousness

that they knew nothing about.

(dramatic music continues)

But when I came back, nothing was quite the same

and I couldn't leave that other world behind.

My odyssey continues.

(Christmas music)

- What's keeping Donna?

- She hasn't been gone long.

- Well, she didn't have to go very far.

She just had to pick up a copy of McDonald's.

- Macbeth.

- Whatever, some dead guy in a skirt.

(Christmas music continues)

(mystical tones)

(dramatic music)

I know a great shortcut, he says.

Just follow me, he says.

I don't need a map, he says.

- Flash.

- How long have we had company?

- Come on.

Hey guys, what's up?

(group of kids talking)

(enchanting music)

- Hey!

You stop. Where do you think you're going?

(running footsteps)

(dramatic music)

(running footsteps)

(dramatic music)

- [Jay] Look, I'm really sorry, okay.

- Save it for the police, kid.

- Come on, it was an accident.

- Man, you don't try and swipe something

when you're the only kid in the place.

- But I never meant to steal anything.

I just...

- There's no point groveling.

You don't have a gold card, he can't hear you.

- Hey, clear out your punks.

- What's with you?

Did you just like, zone out again?

- What can he do to you? 12.95 plus tax.

- I got 20 bucks. I could pay you.

- It's too late.

I'm sick of your kids ripping me off.

- Hang on, sir.

He had a head injury and he went into a coma,

and sometimes he gets a little weird.

- Keith.

- It's not his fault if he's brain damaged.

- Hey, you've got no cause to sleg him.

- Back off, he's my friend.

- Then treat him like one.

(mystical music)

- Maybe they're friendly.

- Yeah, they're really warming up to us.

(dramatic music)

- I'll handle this.

- Now's the time to turn on the charm.

Oh yeah, that was good.

I really liked the way you handled that.

- It is. It's the Wonderland.

Exactly the way the oldies described it in the legend.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane snow is glistening.

A beautiful sight.

We're happy tonight.

- He's definitely not one of us.

- But he's carrying the sign

and that's how we're supposed to recognize the Pathfinder.

- That's assuming we can believe the legend.

- You know it's not just a legend.

I'm telling you, this is him.

(dramatic music)

- Where did you get this?

- I found it.

- Found it where?

And where did you come from?

- Well, that's a complicated story.

- Exactly, he does need an address like ordinary kids.

He's the Pathfinder.

- Pathfinder? Yeah, right.

- I got us this far, didn't I?

- Jay, you couldn't find water if you fell out of a boat.

- We'll let the oldies decide.

Come on.

(dramatic music)

- I know what's going down.

This guy, wasn't trying to steal your crummy stuff.

He was minding his own business

and you started picking on him?

- Yeah, exactly.

- That's it. I'm calling the cops.

- Oh, why don't you tell them to send a SWAT team?

- Look, maybe you should stay out of this.

- How old are you?

- 14.

- There you go.

Ever heard of the Young Offenders Act?

Even if the cops dropped their donuts and do show up,

they can't do anything.

- Is that what you're counting on? Huh?

Well you better think twice smart guy.

- I offered to pay for it. What more do you want?

- Tell this guy to get stuffed.

You don't have to put up with his crap.

But hey, that's your choice.

(dramatic music)

- Two paths.

Which one?

- What is this?

- The oldies will guide you.

- The oldies?

- The ones who've gone before.

The ones who composed the legend.

They've left this world,

but they're still up there watching over us.

- If they're still up there I want a hat.

- It's time to choose.

If you're an imposter, they'll let us know.

- Come on, it's not like it's a big brain strainer,

just choose one or the other.

Take that one.

(dramatic music)

Sure, take my advice.

- How did I do?

(slow music)

- We are your people.

Lead us.

- I could get used to this.

- Yeah, well don't unpack.

As soon as we get a chance, we're outta here.

- Come on, lighten up and enjoy it.

- That's easy for you to say, they think you're a god.

- You have a problem with that?

It's not like this is any humongous hardship,

and look how happy it's making them.

- Yeah, but what happens when they expect you

to do something god-like?

Hey, you. What's a Pathfinder supposed to do?

- You don't know?

- Don't be dense.

I'm just making sure you know.

- He's going to lead us home, to the Wonderland.

- We're outta here.

Okay, we'll eat first and then we're out of here.

(slow music)

Oh, man. What now?

- The shawl of fame.

We have saved it for the one who would appear one day

to lead us to the Homeland.

(kids whispering)

- A beautiful sight.

We're happy tonight.

Walking in a winter Wonderland.

(kids cheering)

- All right, you're coming with me.

- No way.

(kids laughing)

- [Shopkeeper] You're coming with me.

- [Jay] No way.

- Come on, man. Leave him alone. He didn't mean to take it.

- Is this is how you get customers in your crummy store?

- [Keith] Let him go. Come on, what are you doing?

- [Shopkeeper] I have a right to protect my store.

- This store sells junk for kids,

but when we come in here you treat us like garbage.

- What's going on here?

- You tell me.

- Come on, Jay, we're leaving.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

He's not going anywhere.

And the rest of you get lost.

I'm closing up.

- You see this guy here says Jay was shoplifting.

- Shoplifting?

Come on, I don't believe it.

I leave you two on your own for a few minutes.

- Drop it. You don't know what's going on.

(kids cheering)

- I knew it was too good to be true.

(dramatic music)

- Alpha.

- Flash.

- Let her go!

(dramatic music continues)

- So, our money's good enough for you, but we're not?

- Yeah.

We're sick of being second class citizens.

And maybe it's about time

we started doing something about it.

- Right on.

- We could use a kid like him.

- Hey, she's a friend of mine. Untie her.

- Who's the geek?

- This is the Pathfinder.

- The Pathfinder?

- It's true, Thor, we're going home.

In the meadow we can build a snowman

and pretend that he is Parson Brown.

He'll say...

- That's enough.

(kids gasping)

(slow uplifting music)

- What exactly am I missing here?

Who are all these kids?

- They're friends of mine.

- Oh, no they're not.

- Stop talking about it and phone the cops then.

- That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Hey, Hey.

- I want an explanation.

- Well, you know how it is.

You go out on an expeditions and you meet people.

Sometimes you bring them back with you.

- You mean you kidnap them.

- It was just a mistake.

They didn't know she was a friend of yours.

- What's that?

- Donations.

- I'm not laughing.

Tomorrow morning you'll take it back.

And from now on no more donations.

- No donations.

- You don't understand.

We're exiles, we don't own anything.

We don't have a place of our own.

- Not anymore.

I'm the Pathfinder, Leeda.

I'm going to take you home.

- You're what?

- You know, you're nothing like I thought you'd be.

- You were expecting a size 44?

- I didn't say that.

I was expecting someone a little tougher maybe,

but I can actually talk to you.

You're almost like...

- A regular person?

- No, but you're more than that.

You're someone I could really get to know.

- Leeda, what do you really know about the Wonderland?

- That it's beautiful.

In the summer the sun never sets at all.

And in the winter, the whole sky is filled dancing lights.

- You've never been there?

- Well, none of us from here.

We've always been an exile.

- Then how can you really be sure it exists?

- Because it has to.

Everyone has a home, right?

- And what if you get there

and it's nothing like you thought it would be?

- Why are you asking these questions?

You are going to lead us, aren't you?

- I promised you, didn't I?

- Hey! What are you doing in here?

- Last minute shopping?

- Do you believe that guy?

Doesn't he know that the customer is always right?

- Yeah, really? You can't get good service anymore.

- [Shopkeeper] You put that down.

I saw that.

- Jay, don't go in there.

This is getting serious.

- She's right, Jay.

Don't be stupid.

- Would you get off my case.

- Fine, I'm sick and tired of worrying about you.

You make your own choices

and you deal with the consequences.

- You know, you're playing with fire.

- You worry too much, they won't hurt us.

- It's not us.

It's what you're doing to them,

pretending to be all godlike.

This Wonderland stuff really means a lot to them.

- I know that.

- I'd never be any of these kids' friends,

but you can't use them like this.

- I'm trying to help them, Alpha.

They're lost.

- They need a real leader, Jay.

You're playing with people's destiny.

- No I'm not.

- Not on purpose,

but that's what ends up happening.

Look, you don't even have a clue how to get them home.

- Of course I do. It's easy.

This Wonderland of theirs is covered in snow, right?

Well, I know which direction North is.

- So you're going to point them in a general direction?

Don't stop till you see a white bear?

- As long as they find some place that feels like home.

- Flash told me about that little test they put you through.

What do you think they would have done if you had failed?

- I don't know.

Probably nothing.

- Oh, like live and let live.

Remember Thor?

Come on then, Pathfinder.

Which one did you choose?

- That one.

- Well?

If I were you, I might be a little careful.

- I thought you wanted to find out what would have happened.

Jay!

(dramatic music)

- I could have been sliced.

- Diced.

- I guess the oldies like shish kabob.

- I'm getting out of here while I still can.

If you and Flash have any brains whatsoever,

you'll come with me.

(dramatic music)

- You can leave if you want.

I have to stay.

- If I go, next time I see you it'll be Suvlaki.

- I owe you one, buddy.

(slow dramatic music)

- You like her, don't you?

- She's okay.

(display crashing)

- [Shopkeeper] You come back here.

You stop that. I'll get you.

- Get your hands off.

Let go, that's my purse.

- Jay, we gotta get outta here.

- I can't just leave her here.

- Haven't you realized it yet?

She set this whole thing up.

- [Jay] You set me up.

- Jay, Come on.

- [Shoplifter] Come on you guys, let's split.

(dramatic music)

- Hey rock jaw, drop the dome.

Don't you know, it belongs to Pathfinder?

- Where did you two mooks get this?

- Ever hear of the legend, or you dumber than you look?

Hey Jay, go for it.

D-post, hot one.

- No Flash, no don't.

(dramatic music)

(glass shattering)

- The Pathfinder's just testing our faith.

He'll make it new again.

- No look, we don't need it anyway.

- He can't fix it.

- The snow dome was just a toy.

It's not important.

- If he could make it new again, he would.

But he can't, he's not the Pathfinder.

- That's not true.

Prove it to them.

- It doesn't really matter who I am.

I can still get you home.

I made a promise.

- I believed in you.

How could I have been so stupid.

- No, listen.

- Take them to the pit.

- Get him!

- Jay, come on.

(dramatic music)

(police sirens wailing)

- Here's your stuff back, sir.

Sorry.

- What's the rush boys?

(dramatic music)

- What do you want me to do?

Stay home and play with dinky toys,

because I'm too brain damaged to hang out with the mall?

- [Janet] You might've been arrested.

Then I'd be talking to you through bars

instead of this door.

- You really want to know?

- If you want to tell me.

- It just happened.

I was set up. Okay?

- There's always going to be people out there

who want to use you.

- Oh, it's so stupid.

I thought they were my friends.

- They must have seemed pretty cool.

- Yeah.

I'll spend my life in my room,

then I'll never get fooled again.

- Hey, I don't expect you to live in the snow dome.

- I guess.

Maybe I'll wear those x-ray glasses

so I can see through people's games.

- Including your own Jay.

You can drop the tough guy act.

- I was scared.

(somber music)

- [Leeda] Everyone has a home, right?

- [Jay] And what if you get there,

and it's nothing like you thought it'd be?

(slow somber music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)
