Jonathan Willaway.

- What you want? - You.

Leave me alone!

Lost in the Devil's Triangle,

trapped in a dimension with beings from the future

and from other worlds,

a party of adventurers journeys through zones of time

back to their own time.

Varian, a man from the 23rd century,

possessing awesome powers.

From 1977,

Fred, a young doctor just out of medical school.

Scott Jordan,

the 13-year-old son of a famous scientist.

Liana, daughter of an Atlantian father

and an extra-terrestrial mother.

And Jonathan Willaway,

rebel scientist from the 1960s.

Together, they face the frightening unknown on

The Fantastic Journey.

Hey, guys! Come here. Quick!

Wat is it?

It's a carnival.

Would you believe that?

Out here in the middle of nowhere!

We didn't have anything like that in Atlantium.

Well, it's a place for having fun.

You know, rides, booths, uh, prizes and stuff.

Gee, by my time, amusements were more refined.

Unfortunately, I've... I've seen things like this

only in history books.

Now, you're gonna get to see it first hand.

Uh, look, let's just push straight on throug

to the next zone, huh?

- What's the matter swith you? - I've got a funny feeling.

Oh, Willaway, where is that inquisitive scientific mind?

It is figuring that what I don't know won't hurt me.

It doesn't belong there. Look, let's just leave it alone.

Well, we can't miss this!

Please, just for a little while.

All right, we'll compromise.

We'll take a loser look at the carnival on our way

out of the time zone.

They're coming.

As I told you they would.

Which one will you choose?

This one.

The one in black.

His features suggest intelligence...

And yet I sense that he is vulnerable.

- He is perfect. - Look at that girl.

But to work your way,

they must enter the funhouse.

What if they won't go in?

I tell you they will.

Look at that girl! She is beautiful!

She is absolutely beautiful.

The waiting is over.

Yes.

This is amazing, all these rides.

As I remember from the history books,

most people used to come to frighten themselves.

Yet there's nothing here that seems anything but amusing.

Yeah, well, if you've ever ridden the Big Cyclone

at thePike, you might get the idea.

Oh, Fred, they've got everything.

Everything but people.

Hello. Anybody home?

What's that line they used to say in

all those cowboy movies?

Awful quiet...

Yeah, partner, too quiet.

I've never seen anything like that.

Hey, what's makin' it go?

Wha... Who turned it on?

Anybody home?

Hello?

Machine didn't turn itself on. Sense anything?

Something, yes...

Animal, vegetable or mineral?

Somebody's playing a joke on us.

Hello! Anybody here?

I... I just do not like the idea of being the butt

of some kind of joke.

All right! A shooting gallery.

Did I startle you?

My apologies.

- Who are you? - I am Marcus Apollonius.

You know the name.

Yes, he was a magician.

A great magician of antiquity.

The greatest magician of antiquity.

Apollonius of Tyana. I am his desendant.

- This is your arnival then? - Yes...

What's left of it.

What we could salvage from the shipwrek.

We? Then, there are others here?

Most went on toward the eastern zones.

There are but a few of us who elected to stay.

You mean you don't want to get bak to your own time?

I am an entertainer, I belong to the ages.

Here, I amuse travelers who pass through

from every age.

Where could I be happier?

Try your luck.

Bet?

Please.

We are at your service.

Enjoy yourselves.

Hey! It's a funhouse!

Listen, I don't like any part of this.

What's the matter?

I can't put my finger on it, but it just seems wrong.

Eerie! That's what it is. It's eerie.

Eerie?

Eerie? s that the technical term for it?

Come one, come all.

One dollar buys you a ticket to the funhouse

of the mystics!

Come on.

Jonathan, we have seen stranger things in these zones.

See wonders undreamed sof, thrills of a lifetime!

Allow your senses to be assailed by sights

and sounds beyond imagining.

Willaway, loosen up. It'll be a gas.

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen.

Let your mind be dazzled!

Feel your senses reel inside the funhouse!

That's where you can find the answers

to all your questions.

You travelers! Step right up,

don't be shy. That's it! Step right up!

That's it.

One dollar will buy you a glimpse of eternity,

a glimpse of hell, the secrets of the universe.

Inredible, unbelievable thrills await you.

Wonders you never dreamed possible.

A challenge for all five senses and more!

Hey! What world would you like to see?

What time would you like it to be? 1977?

Or your own 2230?

How'd you know that?

I know much more...

...physician.

They boy is the son of a great scientist.

That gentleman is a soul in search of himself.

Here, your searh can end.

You are a child of another world.

How do you know who we are?

We have entertained multitudes.

We have delighted kings,

we have astonished wise men,

we have baffled mystics!

You have questions?

The truths you seek lie inside that door.

What truths do we seek?

You mean Evoland?

That's all the truth we seek, the way home.

I can say no more! Follow.

The secrets lie inside the door.

Follow.

- Follow. - Well, let's go!

It's a dynamite pitch, tis guy's got.

Promise them anything, but give them

the old ten-cent tour.

Stay here, Sil-L. We won't be long.

It seems to me he knows a great deal about all of us.

Ah, I don't know...

Well, where is he?

I don't know, but somebody gotta run the ride.

Come on, guys. It's this way.

Hey, Fred!

Whoa! God Almighty!

Look behind you, Scott.

Hey, Fred...

Hey, a slide! Far out!

I really ought to keep after him, you know?

Whoo!

Liana...

I had forgotten what a funhouse was like.

I never knew.

Whee!

Okay, we've seen it. Can we leave now?

That's two for our side. Do I hear three?

Okay, we an't go back up that way, so we gotta

find another way out.

Hey, but, guys, we just got here.

Come on.

It's a maze of mirrors.

What's the matter?

Hey, guys, see if you can find me!

Come on.

Ah, dynamite illusion.

It's no illusion.

What?

- Hey, Scott. - Scott!

- Scott! - Scott!

Scott, come back!

This wall is solid. There are no hidden passages.

So, where's Scott? I mean,

he didn't just disappear into thin air.

Folks, it's a funhouse.

If we find out how they did that shadow trick,

we'll find the answer to Scott's disappearance.

I told you, that shadow was no trick.

Varian, if it wasn't a trick, then what was it?

Whatever that was, it had energy waves,

like a living human being.

Play that back. Are you suggesting

that shadow was alive?

All I'm saying was that it had energy waves,

and they were identical to the ones that I sensed

around Apollonius.

I'd find it easier to buy a trap door or somethin'.

Our future man is very perceptive.

Hey, Scott!

Scott!

Scott!

We have the young one as bait.

It's time to separate them

The girl first.

Thank you.

See, I told you there was a trick.

Now wherever she's goin', that's where we'll find Scott.

Well, there's three doors and there's four of us.

Don't you think we should split up?

Maybe it would be wiser to stay together.

I think the sooner we an find Scott,

the sooner we'll be on our way.

I'm gonna take the Hall of Mysteries.

I think Scott would've probably been tempted by that one.

Liana...

Scott!

Scott?

Stay with me, Liana!

Liana!

Varian...

Am I glad to see you.

What happened?

Don't you remember anything?

You're cold.

I do remeber the Hall of Mirrors.

I was having a great time, then, wham!

The next thing I know, you're helping me up.

Scottie, let's get the others and get out of here

Yeah.

Hello.

Ah, it's, uh, it's cold in here, Apollonius.

I am freezing. Aren't you cold?

What do you want?

Jonathan Willaway.

I am Jonathan Willaway.

What do you want?

- You. - Me?

You are perfect.

That's nice of you to say so.

But what for?

Why?

You knew when you heard my name.

You mean your ancestor's name.

I'm Apollonius of Tyana.

That was thousands of years ago.

I was cursed.

To wander in the limbo of this zone for all time.

Then the legends are true?

- You challenged the gods? - For three days

and three nights we fought.

But then the furies of the underworld rose up

and joined with them.

I was vanquished.

Damned to wander here for the millenium.

But now, I have expanded my powers.

I have discovered the secret of Evoland.

I will go back.

I will challenge them anew.

If...

...all of this is true,

why don't you leave us alone and simply go?

Where could I travel like this?

I have been a prisoner of my appearane.

But now, I have the power.

Now I can go back...

...as you.

He is mine!

Liana!

Varian! Willaway! Anybody!

Help!

- Fred, it's us! - Stand away from those doors!

- What's going on? - It's Apollonius.

What does he want out of my life?

I'm not sure.

There's an old Boy Scout saying,

when in doubt, run!

Yeah, I heard that. Let's pick up Liana

and Willaway and...

Hey, wait. Wasn't Liana with you?

Was.

She's in a tunnel back that way somewhere.

I turned around and she's gone.

Lot of that goin' around lately.

We're gonna retrace our steps,

we'll pick her up on the way out.

You can find your way back...

Me? I'm gonna take the high road.

I don't know where this corridor might lead to,

but I know the plumbing has got to go someplace.

- Okay. Meet you on the outside. - Okay.

How many times have you been told you're beautiful?

I don't understand.

You are very beautiful.

People tell you that, don't they?

Yes.

Often?

Sometimes.

- Why? - Well, they're polite to you.

They tend to your wants, they receive you well

because you are beautiful,

because the shell you present to the

outside world is pleasing.

I remember that.

What do you want from me?

Can you imagine

what it would be like to be ugly?

To be so...

...cursed?

That you would do anything, anything...

Look, I... What is all this about?

Why all the talk about how awful it would be to be ugly?

How would you know?

You're beautiful.

I soon will be, yes.

I will be as I once was

in other times,

and in other lands.

Youre...

You're talking in circles.

Would you please make sense?

You...

You will make this possible for me.

What do you want from me?

What I must have,

your shell.

There are no words, are there?

All turn away.

Only faithful Barker shares our exile.

Can you imagine what this felt like, this hate.

..to be able to leave this evil place forever.

And now at last you are.

And soon we will be leaving.

I was an aide to master Apollonius,

and was cursed along with him.

But by now, he has Willaway, and I have you.

Soon he will work his wonders

and I'll be you.

Wow.

Be nice, just be nice.

Let's do this the easy way, okay?

Willaway!

I hope you are comfortable, my dear.

We will be with you presently.

There's no other way out. Let's face it, we're lost.

This place goes on and on and on.

What was that?

Mr Apollonius apologizes for the inconvenience.

The machinery has been malfunctioning.

I am to show you the way out.

Where are the others?

Oh, they're outside waiting already.

This way, please.

- Who hit me? - It was Willaway.

What? It couldn't have been Willaway.

But I saw him.

Only, he seemed different. He had a different voice.

I'm beginning to think that everything's different

around here.

I gotta get my hands free.

Great.

- So there you are. - Well, hi!

Now, where are Fred and Liana?

They've gone on ahead. Now, look, you take Scott

and you go through to the next zone

and I'll be right behind you.

What?

And I will have a jolt and a half for you when I get there.

Judging by that grin, it better be quite a jolt.

Like a Cheshire Cat. What gives?

Apollonius knows the secret to Evoland.

- No. - Fantastic!

And he's gonna tell me!

Well, we're gonna wait right here for ya.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Te sercet to Evoland is a deep, dark one,

and he will tell only me. So, you go.

- Just you? - Mmm-hm.

He'll tell only you? Why just you?

Because I am the one who recognized his illustrious ancestor.

Buttered him up, you know,

Apollonius the magnifient and all that sort of thing.

I tell you, that man has an ego that will not stop.

So, anyway, he took a liking to me,

and he's gonna tell me. But just me, so you go.

Now, wait a minute, Jonathan,

none of this makes any sense at all.

He's gonna tell you?

- Well... - And he's not gonna tell us?

He's a funny duck.

And it's his nikel, and so let him play it his way.

- Just go. - You know, this whole thing

is getting very strange.

If Apollonius wants to play secrets,

let him.

Go.

- Jonathan... - Stay away from me.

- What is wrong? - Scott, it's all right.

Now talk to me, Jonathan.

I will only hear Jonathan Willaway.

I just...

I just don't feel well.

- Jonathan! - Alone!

I told you to leave me alone!

Varian, are you all right?

Oh, man, it's hopeless.

Wait... Maybe not.

Maybe not.

Jonathan...

Fools!

Be gone!

I want to help you, Jonathan.

He's mine!

There is no Willaway.

Not so fast!

- Now talk to me, Jonathan. - Do not provoke me!

- Leave! - Jonathan, look at me!

You know me! Now, look at me,

look at me!

Look at me! Look at me, Jonathan!

I...

I'm afraid.

You come out. Come out, Jonathan! Come out!

I'm afraid.

Oome out, Jonathan, come out!

Come on, Jonathan. Come on.

Willaway is no longer here.

Go!

Fight me and I will destroy you!

What is going on? What happened to Willaway?

That's Apollonius. He's controlling him.

You mean, like possession?

Whatever we call it's unimportant.

Right now, his life is hanging by a thread,

unless I an take it back. Come on.

Fools!

They came for me.

So be it.

- What now? - As before...

We go down the slide.

You stay close behind me.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

I shall wait for them here.

Shall we stay?

I must be alone.

Now, be careful of your footing here.

Use your intelligence.

Turn around. Walk away.

If you stay, you die.

When we leave here, Jonathan Willaway

is going to come with us.

There is no Wllaway!

There is! I will talk to him.

Death is all around you, future man.

Varian...

Keep your eyes on Willaway.

Concentrate on the image of him that you remember,

not the one that you see now.

Throw him off!

Talk to me, Jonathan!

This battleground

will be your graveyard.

You don't have the strength.

Iltar...

Noracto

Mox Endee!

Oh!

All right, where is he?

- Who? - Willaway.

Okay, okay.

He's in the Room of the Hundred Candles.

Okay, you're gonna take us there.

And no tricks, or no arm.

Okay. Okay.

You have Willaway's body,

but his spirit is fighting yours.

That's one battle you're gonna lose.

I'm Apollonius of Tyana.

The greatest magician of the ages.

None can oppose me. I...

Help me.

I don't... I don't want to stay here.

Come out, Jonathan. Come out! Come out to us.

Come out!

Oh, I... Oh!

Stay away!

I shall destroy you!

Destroy you!

You've lost.

Varian, my love.

It's not real.

- Come to me. - Gwenlth.

Come.

Please... As you love me...

- Gwenith... - Help me.

Please help me.

No. No. Concentrate. I can feel it slipping.

I can feel you slipping. Come back, come back!

I can feel you slipping! Come back!

- Come on, Willaway! - Come on!

Stop...

Please, all of you...

You're killing me. Killing me.

Leave me be.

In payment, I will take you to Evoland.

I will show you the way.

I know the secret.

All I ask is Willaway.

A small price. A small price.

There's no price, Apollonius.

And there are no more tricks. Now you come out, or you die!

Oh...

You'll.

...live...

...to...

...regret this.

What...

Oh, it's freezing in here.

Let's get out of here.

That is the best idea I've heard since we got here.

Oh, man.

I told you this place was eerie.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Hmm?

You're okay?

- Don't you remember anything? - No.

And what I do remember,

I think I'd rather forget.

What's gonna happen to them?

Apollonius and the girl?

They'll just stay here and wait for others.

But I still don't get it.

If Apollonius has the power to take over the body

of another person,

how come he hasn't done it already

and gotten out of here?

Maybe that's part of the curse,

that he an go on trying and trying

and he'll never succeed.

So that he repeats that same ritual over and over

again throughout eternity?

Wow. Over and over again.

Only to have his hopes crushed every time.

Hmm.

Well, in any event, we're well out of that place.

You may remember I didn't want to go there

in the first place.

See, here we go. Grumble and gripe

and, "I told you so."

Three are some people, who shall remain nameless,

who never learn.

Complaints! Complaints!

I'm beginning to wonder if Apollonius wouldn't have

been easier to travel with.

He might've been better company...

But I'm prettier.
