Maximum Ride Page #4

Accepting that is just

another part of growing up.

I don't like chocolate

chip cookies anymore.

I've outgrown them.

I'm done.

Come on!

Get in the cage.

Get in the cage.

Or what?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I'm not afraid of you.

I don't care

what you've done to yourself.

You're still the same weak,

pathetic little boy

desperate for approval.

And you're not

gonna lay a hand on me.

You know why?

Because daddy wouldn't like it.

Get in the cage.

Get in the cage.

Is it true? Was it him?

Yeah, it's true.

Jeb's alive.

Alive and a traitor.

I'd rather he was dead.

So what do we do?

There's not much we can do.

They're out there

and we're locked in here.

So you have a plan, right?

No. I don't, actually.

And the thing is,

Jeb said some stuff about us,

why we're here, and it

sounded really important.

I think we should trust him.

- Trust him? We can't.

- Are you serious? No.

Are you out of your mind?

Max, he's gonna

turn us into an eraser.

What are you talking about?

You can't keep...

No, we can't...

No, Max, no.

After everything he's done.

Max! Max! This isn't fair.

We can't trust him.

There is no way!

Oh, my god.

Look where we are.

It makes no sense, Max.

Angel, can you hear me?

We're being watched.

And we can't trust Jeb.

We're getting out

of here tonight.

Tell the others.

How's Dr. batchelder

handling the reunion?

If you're not up to this...

I...

I'm afraid he may be

losing his conviction.

What makes you say that?

His behavior indicates that

he's become emotional

with the subject.

He's grown attached.

Well, she'll never

trust him again after this.

And I'm not sure if he's

capable of following through.

He's always been soft.

That's what makes him good

at what he does.

Yes.

What he doesn't understand

is that they're not human.

The most dangerous mistake is to

think of them as if they are.

They're expendable.

If this gets out of control,

we have other facilities, other products.

We pick up and move on.

Yes, madam.

If we fail here, we need to be

prepared to walk away from a loss.

I don't think

he sees it that way.

This program is a failure

if we can't control them.

Jeb seems to have forgotten

that they are weapons.

Very dangerous weapons.

What do you want?

Just enjoying the view.

You know, I don't think

you're supposed to be in here.

Why don't I just

scream and find out?

Oh, I wouldn't, if I were you.

Wow.

Threatening a girl

while she's locked in a cage.

That's low, even for you.

You're such a coward.

Max, I could rip your throat

out with my bare hands.

So what's stopping you?

It's just you and me.

Prove it.

You think I'm gonna let you out?

How stupid do you think

i am, Max?

Pretty stupid.

Come on.

All right, we all know the plan?

Come on.

Nudge, you guys head

for the main power.

You know how to

shut it down, right?

Take my hand. I know

what I'm doing.

You know where this place is?

Don't worry. I know where

the chemical room is.

Come on, we gotta move fast.

There's been a breach in sector

five and sector three and four.

Send in the erasers.

Do you know which switch it is?

Come on, quickly, hurry.

You know what?

I guess I'll shut down

the entire power source.

Run!

Please hurry.

I know.

How we doing?

Gazzy?

I'm done.

Yeah?

Yeah.

This is the end.

You're never

leaving this place alive.

There's no way out, Max.

There's always a way out.

Ari!

Max. Don't.

You're not ready.

You don't understand

what's happening, Max.

Trust me.

Never again.

Max, please!

And don't bother looking for us, Jeb.

This experiment's over.

You came.

Of course, I came.

I'll always come for you

no matter what.

You scared me to death.

So what now?

I don't know. We'll figure it out.

We always do.

Max.

Max.

What's wrong? Max?

Hey, you're back.

What the hell happened?

I was gonna ask you

the same thing.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I think so.

I thought I lost you again.

You got to stop

doing that to me.

I'll work on it.

I thought you were blind.

Your breathing changed.

What happened?

It looked like

you were having a seizure.

Yeah, you were shaking

and mumbling and stuff.

My head felt like it was gonna

explode, and then I saw things.

What kind of things?

Images, New York City.

There was this building

filled with files,

and one of them

had my name on it.

New York?

What do you think it means?

I don't know.

It was like a memory,

but I've never

been there before.

We should go.

Sounds like a trap.

No, she's right.

We need answers, and this is

the first clue we've ever had.

It couldn't hurt.

It's not like we have

anywhere else to go.

So, we're going to New York.

And don't bother looking for us, Jeb.

This experiment's over.

And don't bother looking for us, Jeb.

This experiment's over.

And don't bother looking for us, Jeb.

This experiment's over.

This experiment's over.
