- Never mind! Just give it back!

Well, before you get so over-amped

over these pseudo-factoids, I'd...

- I didn't just hear that, I felt it.

- What was it?

Well, let's hope it's not another earth shift.

It's water!

Yeah.

Hey! Here!

Hey, it's water!

It's water!

I don't believe this.

- Terra!

- Hey, Terra! Come on, come on!

- Come here, get over here!

- It's wet!

Enjoy it!

Come on, Dan!

- Daniel, come on! Come on!

Let's go, little man!

Take that! Hey, go, little man! Go!

Yeah! All right!

Meds.

They must be slipping us

some kind of new medication.

We're all hallucinating.

Well, they can slip me

more of that anytime.

I'm clean!

- It wasn't meds. It was real.

No, it couldn't have been real.

No, it was.

- He can hear you!

- What?

Of course he heard me.

He hears everything.

- No, you heard me. You can hear.

- Yeah, I can hear.

Daniel, you can hear

without your electric ears!

My electric ears don't even work.

I hear everything.

- That's impossible.

- Hey, man, how can you say that?

It's been thundering and lightning,

and we're all soaking wet!

I gotta believe anything's possible!

When did this happen?

Was it during the storm?

No. Bodhi did it when I found him. Look.

He did it.

- Daniel, what is that?

- His name's Bodhi.

- I think he heard you.

- Of course he heard me.

He hears everything.

Even when I'm not talking, he hears me.

- Here. He likes to be held.

- It does.

I can feel it likes to be held.

- Hey, Bodie!

His name is Bodhi.

Jason, can we keep him?

I mean, look, I fixed a bed and everything.

It'll be fine.

It doesn't need a bed.

I mean, it's not alive.

- We don't know that.

Come on.

Bodhi feels just like we do.

And he's smart, too.

That was the second call for skate rec.

All right.

Before we go, we all oath that no one

even breathes a whisper about this.

Daniel, I want you to pretend

that you're still deaf.

- Why?

- Because people will start probing,

and we gotta keep this thing

absolutely secret, okay?

- Okay, let's go. Let's move.

- Yeah, we're gonna be late.

Come on, let's move!

Stay here. I'll be right back.

Hi.

Do you get bored just sitting in here?

I can't believe that I'm sitting here

talking to a ball.

Okay. All right.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I know that you understand things.

Maybe everything.

But who are you?

Where do you come from?

I know. It's a tough one.

See, I don't know where I come from.

And I don't know who I am, either.

But what's worse is,

I don't know where I'm going.

I don't know who I'm gonna be.

I just know that I can't accept things

the way they are.

I don't want to be part of what I've seen.

But I guess I'll have to.

- No, it is not a waste of time.

- Yes, it is...

- And I'll tell you why it's not.

- We have a lot of work to do...

- What's going on?

- Is Bodhi okay?

Yeah. Yeah, he's fine.

I was just... holding him.

What's that?

- I just want to see if it's radioactive.

- Can't you just leave it alone?

Look, if we're around something

that's giving off radioactivity,

- we could all end up dead.

- Oh, please.

Just let him do it.

Nothing.

- Hi, Bodhi.

- Hey, Bodie, so you're not dangerous.

It's Bodhi.

Hey, look, he's speaking to you

in your language and me in mine, all right?

- Yeah, but what is it?

- He's a who, not an it.

- Well, then who is it?

- I don't know. I can't figure it out.

You're kidding.

- What?

Well, I just heard you admit

there's something you can't figure out.

Metron admits to mystery.

Flip it over.

- Don't hurt him.

We're not gonna hurt him.

I think that he wants to play.

Hey, Metron, pass it over here!

- Flick it to me, Terra!

- Hey, Jas!

Metron, why don't you try to hit the ball?

Hey! Yeah!

Rabbit, pass it over.

- Can you explain this, Metron?

- I...

Hey, Daniel, here's your chance!

- Put it in the goal! Come on!

- Come on, you can do it!

- Come on, little man!

- Put it up! He wants you to shoot!

Daniel, go!

Daniel's the skateball champion

of the world!

Daniel!

Jason?

Can't we just play one more game?

I mean, Bodhi wants to play, I bet.

And I want to play.

It's late. I think we ought to head back.

Somebody's free! Oh, I envy him.

- They'll catch him.

- Yeah.

But until they do, he's free.

Toss every crib in here!

- What about the personal areas?

- Toss the personal areas.

Toss everything!

I got the bird boy.

- Anything?

- Nothing! Darstar took it all.

Let's go!

- You can't be in here. It's...

- Daniel's gone.

- What?

- He went after Bodhi.

I think Bodhi called him or something.

I don't know.

- Did you encourage him?

- No, I didn't.

- I wouldn't do that! You know I wouldn't.

- All right.

Get out of here.

And we'll meet in the clubroom.

- So we're gonna go after him?

- Be quiet.

He's a little boy all alone. I say that we go.

Listen to me carefully.

This is not like sneaking off to the pits.

It's not gonna be

20 meters in a ditch for this one.

If we do get caught,

it's gonna mean mainstream labor site.

- Or maybe worse.

- Yeah, well, what could be worse?

Like surgical alteration.

Didn't think of that, did we?

They've conditioned us here

to be so afraid.

There has got to be a place to go.

We were not born here.

We had parents on the outside, families.

People who might still be alive.

Maybe we could find them.

I'm very worried about him.

Please, let's just go.

It sounds like if we go,

we're not coming back.

That's exactly right,

so it's gotta be something that we all

agree on or we just don't go.

- Then we should vote.

- Okay.

- All those in favor...

- No, this should be a secret ballot.

There shouldn't be any peer pressure.

Wait.

- It's unanimous. We go.

- All right!

Rabbit!

- I did it!

- Let's move!

- Yeah!

- All right!

Alerts imposed on all quarters.

But why would they even try to escape?

There's no point in it.

Maybe they were challenged

by the ineptitude of your system.

Maybe they couldn't resist.

A Tchigani.

- He doesn't know that.

No child here knows his origin.

It's the law.

- He was taken at the age of two months.

- It's in his blood.

There are still some Tchigani
