The Last Mimzy Page #5

I have a friend, Arnie Rose.

He's a neurologist

at NorthWest hospital.

Um...

Maybe there's some

kind of connection...

Scientific, medical or otherwise.

We could have him... see your kids.

Yes, that's a very good idea.

Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely.

All right, we should get the...

We... We should get the kids,

where are the kids?

- They're upstairs.

- Right, so what we should do...

- Help!

- What is it?!

Mom, dad, it's Emma!

We need you!

Mr. Wilder, should we come?

- What is it, Noah?!

- Emma?

Hi, mommy.

I learned this from mimzy too.

- Emma!

- Mommy, please, it's all right.

Ok.

Now I... I need you

to give me mimzy.

- No! No!

- Give her to me, emma!

Emma, just give her to me now.

- Jo, Jo, stop... Stop...

- Ok, David, please.

- No, mommy, no!

- No. No, mom...

Noah, I...

It's those things that

they found on the beach...

And I want them out of here now.

Now, Noah, where are they?

- Noah, where are they?

- But mom...

Where are they?!

I want them out of here now!

Jo!

- Mom!

- What? Stop it! Where are they?

They're in my backpack, ok?!

No! Mom!

Ok, everything's gonna be fine.

- Bring her back!

- Mom!

- Jo, what are you doing?

- No!

- Mom! Please, please...

- Daddy, I want her!

No, mom! They're nothing!

- They're just rocks!

- Jo!

I'm sorry.

Mom, we didn't do anything!

- I want mimzy!

- Mom!

Noah!

Don't say I never do

anything for you.

Mimzy!

How did you find her?

She was in the garbage.

Don't let mom see.

The spinners too?

They're in bad shape.

They're crumbling.

- We have to hurry, Noah.

- To what?

I've gotta show you something.

Why are you showing me that?

It's about Alice...

...going through the looking glass.

I think it explains

what the machine is.

Wait a minute.

That looks like mimzy.

How could she have mimzy?

That was 100 years ago.

Maybe she has spinners too, Noah.

Maybe she didn't get

what she was supposed to do.

Maybe she needed a brother like you.

Like me, what for?

- Because you're my engineer.

- What do you mean, your engineer?

I mean I can't do it all alone, Noah.

Noah, I have to look.

Emma?

Emma?

Emma, what's happening?

Emma!

Emma!

Em!

Oh, my god.

Emma?

Emma!

Mom! Dad!

- Emma.

- What is it?

I think Emma's hurt!

- Hold on, hold on, Noah!

- I'm all right.

Jo!

Oh, my gosh!

Emma, it's gonna be all right!

Hold on!

What is it? What happened?

- What's goin' on?

- Noah?

- What's goin' on, huh?

- I'm ok, mommy. I'm ok.

I think she was dreaming.

She must've fallen out of bed.

It wasn't dreaming

and I didn't fall out of bed.

I looked through

a looking glass, mommy.

I looked through it,

just like Alice.

- What did you see?

- A strange scientist.

It was scary.

Know what? I'm gonna

put you back into bed.

Good night, Noah.

Oh, David!

Mr. and Mrs. Wilder,

let me explain this to you.

We are born with over

The connectors are called synapses...

And by the time a child

reaches the age of 3...

Its brain has formed about

But then, as we become adults...

...we lose over half of them.

And the brain becomes

rigid or hard-wired.

All their potential brain

power gets reduced...

...narrows down...

...and specializes.

But your children are different.

This is an image

of a child's brain, age 2.

This is an adult's brain.

And, in particular, this is Emma's.

Now, not only is her development

completely off the charts...

But this section is all new growth.

Now the red and orange areas

indicate significant brain activity.

What's so amazing is that

we were able to see changes...

...in the time in between

the different images.

Now, there's nothing...

...in the literature

that addresses this.

So, I've spoken to my colleagues...

...and we would like to

schedule some more tests...

...as quickly as possible.

If that's... all right with you.

Oh, I... I don't know.

I...

I just can't believe this.

Oh, what are you doing home?

It's not even 4 o'clock.

I've, uh taken a leave

of absence from the firm, Jo.

Indefinite.

Two weeks, maybe more,

as long as it takes.

I talked to the guys, told 'em

we have some family problems...

...and they seemed ok with it.

So... here I am.

Oh, here you are.

Thank you.

- Are you sure?

- I am absolutely sure.

- Daddy, daddy!

- Hey.

Hey, dad, you're home early.

- Daddy!

- C'mere. C'mere.

How you doin'?

- That's my package pickup.

- Thanks!

What's going on?

What's going on here?

Terrorism task force, stand back.

Take everybody into the living room.

Get away from her!

Who's in charge?!

I wanna speak to who's in charge!

You'll have plenty of time

to talk, trust me.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

His name is Broadman, mommy.

Who told you that?

We have a right to know

what we're being accused of.

What's this about?

You're being held for reasons

of national security...

...under the patriot act.

- But we haven't done anything!

We know about the power

outage, where it originated.

I need to get something.

- Ok, you go with her.

- Yes, sir.

And I'd like to know

if you have a search warrant.

I got probable cause,

I don't need a search warrant, sir.

- Mom, I'm sorry.

- Look.

I want everybody outta here

right now...

...and into the vans.

Let's get this shut down. Let's go.

All right, you heard him, let's go.

- Daddy...

- Now, go!

Get your jackets,

it's pretty chilly outside.

- Where they taking us, daddy?

- What's going on?

- Where we going?

- Mrs. Wilder!

Is everything all right?

Who are these people?

- Where we takin' them?

- Not to jail, that's for sure.

Look, seal this place off,

go through everything.

Bring me anything

that looks suspicious.

Yes, sir.

Go.

I want them inside.

Let's go.

Four of you follow me.

Are we good?

This way.

Let's go.

Mr. Broadman'll be in

a moment to talk to you.

What's going on here, Noah?

What did you do?

Sweetheart, what aren't you telling us?

I didn't know...

I didn't know what it could do.

I... didn't mean...

You didn't know what

what could do?

Th... The machine,

the generator.

The generator?

You guys, be quiet,

they're probably listening...

...to everything we're saying.

Just...

What generator?

I made it with the toys.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

play that last part back.

The machine, the generator.

The generator?

You guys, please, be quiet,

they're probably listening...

...to everything we're saying,

just...

What generator?

I made it with the toys.

What generator? What toys?

Yeah, we got that

from the break room feed.

Now, the next one is a

selection from the teacher.

Dave, can you give me the teacher?

I... I don't know anything

about any continuation...

...or terrorist cells or anything.

I'm just a science teacher.

I promise you, that's all I do.

I just... I teach science,

I went to Nepal once...

But... that was just for a vacation.

This next one is the babysitter. Dave.

She... She made her hand dissolve...

...into a billion pieces...

Just... Just...

Like that, I mean...
