Here is the place
to be suspicious, okay?
We're fading.
with something to help them?
Yes. Gifts.
I love gifts.
MRS. WHO:
They work wellin a moment of peril...
for they see
that which is enfolded.
Not gone, just enfolded.
Meg. Trouble,
problematic Meg.
To you I give
the gift of your faults.
You're welcome.
You do know my faults
are the bad qualities, right?
Are they really? Hmm.
Well then, you're all set.
My gift is my command.
Stay together.
Don't let anyone
separate you.
This is a planet
of many faces...
run by one cruel
and vicious mind.
The IT desires
our strongest lights.
Do not give in.
We're going now.
Be careful.
"When shall we three
meet again?
"In thunder,
lightning or in rain?"

How did you do that whole
thing with the log?
It's just a physics thing.

how incredible you are...
do you?
You're the one
who came with me.
You didn't

but you are.
You're the one who's...
I like your hair.

I bet you're hungry,
and in need of comfort.
I have roasts...
and potatoes,
and cakes of all sorts.
I could eat.
Um...
Uh... (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
No.
Thanks. We're good.
- No.
- Cakes of all sorts!
MEG:
No!Trust no one, remember?

CHARLES WALLACE:
It's changing again.
CALVIN:

MEG:
Probably.MAN:

How are you guys?
Who are you?

Can you take us to him?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, no, no, no.
Yeah. Almost. He should be
He's kind of a busy guy.
You know, bit of a workaholic.
But I don't have
to tell you that. Right?
You know what?
Guys, sit down. Sit down.
Relax. There's nothing
to do here.
Nothing to worry about.
Are you guys hungry?
Everything's taken care of.
In total. Without options
or alternatives.
Hmm.
You guys hungry?
Well, I'll brave it for us.
(SIGHS)
What's wrong, little guy?
It tastes like...
like sand.
Does it?
I don't taste any sand.
Try mine.
It's all sand!
Ha!
I thought you were like me,
Charles Wallace.
I thought you were special.
And you are.
You passed the test.
It's as simple as that.
Simple as twice one is two.
Twice two is four.
Twice three is six.
Twice four is eight.
Twice five is 10.
Twice six is 12.
Twice seven is 14.
What are you doing?
Twice eight is 16.

INDISTINCTLY)
Well, that was fun.
Welcome to Central
Central Intelligence.
Get away from him!
Relax. Don't fight it.
It'll make it much easier,
I promise.
Please, Charles Wallace.
Please. He is dangerous.
What has he done to you?
Shut up, Meg!
Yeah. Shut up, Meg.
CHARLES WALLACE:
Sorry, Red.Meg's always been a problem.
She's quite an aberration,
you know.
Yeah, I can tell.
But aberrations
are far more interesting.
Don't you think,
Charles Wallace?
That's so like you to try
to come to the rescue,
isn't it, Calvin?
Always so helpful.
Overly cheery.
Trying to please everyone.
Hoping to convince them...
that you're not just a burden
to your father and your world.
Pathetic.
That's not why I do it.
Of course, it is!
Why else would you come
on this ridiculous
journey with people
you barely know?
Now that's enough,
Charles Wallace!
You need to stop!
It's enough when The I says it's enough!
Sit. I can take it
from here.
little guy.
Would you like to meet The IT?
That happy sadist.
Not especially.
Watch your tone!
I'm sorry.
We're just here
to see Dad. Remember?
Your dad.
Flower of the universe.
Child of mine.
No.
I think you mean
your dad...
who left you...
in the universe than with you.
Why would you even
want to see him?
(SCOFFS)
Oh, well.
I wish I could
take you to him.
But I can't.
He's gone.
He's not gone.
(CHUCKLES)
You're right.
He's not gone. And
yet, I don't see him.
(SOFTLY) He's...
He's not gone.
He's not gone.
Just enfolded.
What is it?
What do you see?
MEG:
Topological order.Um, fractal dimension.
Ooh. Clever.
That she is.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
BY SADE PLAYING)
Oh.
They come to see
the fire burning
In your heart
They want to witness
