The Last Mimzy Page #6

Synopsis: The siblings Noah and Emma travel with their mother Jo from Seattle to the family cottage in Whidbey Island to spend a couple of days while their workaholic father David Wilder is working. They find a box of toys from the future in the water and bring it home, and Emma finds a stuffed rabbit called Mimzy, and stones and a weird object, but they hide their findings from their parents. Mimzy talks telepathically to Emma and the siblings develop special abilities, increasing their intelligences to the level of genius. Their father becomes very proud when Noah presents a magnificent design in the fair of science and technology, and his teacher Larry White and his mystic wife Naomi Schwartz become interested in the boy when he draws a mandala. When Noah accidentally assembles the objects and activates a powerful generator creating a blackout in the state, the FBI arrests the family trying to disclose the mystery. But Emma unravels the importance to send Mimzy back to the future.

It wasn't natural, that's...

That's not natural, right?

I mean...

She's an alien.

I think they all are.

Am I the only one here...

...who doesn't have a clue

to what's going on?

Thank you.

We just have a few questions.

Um, could you tell us what these are?

Those are nothing.

They're just... toys.

What about this?

That's... just a toy too.

- What are these?

- Those are spinners.

- Would you ask her to keep back?

- I'm not dangerous.

I can show you.

Uh, it's just a magic trick.

Mimzy showed me how to do this.

Mimzy. Is that mimzy?

- Can we see your bunny?

- No!

- We won't hurt it.

- No!

- I want her!

- It's ok.

- Give mimzy back!

- Broadman!

That's a child's toy.

What are you doing?

It's not like anything I've ever seen.

Let's do a slice

and scan right away.

Sweetheart. Oh, boy.

Broadman, explain what's going on.

I don't know what's going on,

you said it was magic.

What kind of magic is that?

What's... Why... Where

are they taking it?

How long is it gonna take?

What are they doing?

It's not gonna take that long.

Just be patient.

- Bring her back now!

- What's going on in there?

Ok, here's the slice.

Are you getting this?

It's extraordinary.

It's almost as if

this thing could alive...

...like it's mimicking

the nervous system.

I'm gonna take it down another level.

I wanna go deeper.

You're pushing the limits here Steve.

It will start breaking up.

Just a bit more.

Whoa! Whoa! Stop!

Look at that.

What is it?

You guys see what I see?

Look, I've been at Intel

for more than two decades.

I know every nanotechnology

project ever initiated.

All of them.

And we've dreamed about this.

We've dreamed about

creating artificial life.

It would be amazing,

we'd change the world.

But we are eons away...

...from achieving anything

like this. Eons.

All right,

let's recap what happened...

...at least the best we can.

We know these things,

these... objects...

...are made from technology that

no one here's ever seen before.

And somehow

they have a intel logo...

...etched in their molecules.

We know that there was a major

power outage in half the state.

We know...

or at least we think we saw...

A little girl atomize her arm.

Does anybody have

any thoughts on this?

Can I talk?

- Mimzy'd like to speak to you.

- She wants to speak? Where?

She's in the other room.

She's telling me what to say.

The people in the future

can't travel through time.

They need our help.

Something in them is broken.

And we can fix it.

We have what they need.

She says it's in our genes.

Our genes?

They've been sending other

mimzys into the past...

To look for it.

But none of them have come back.

She says she is the last one.

I'm sorry, this...

This is crazy.

Hold it, please let her finish.

She says people

can't travel through time.

'Cause they'll die.

So they built dolls to do it...

...like mimzy.

But she won't be here much longer.

She's disintegrating.

Mommy, we have to send

her back right away.

She says everybody is dying.

- Ok, that's it.

- Please, just let her finish.

She's done. I want more expert

brought in on this thing.

On this, there are no experts.

Noah, can you hear me?

I need you.

I need you to help me.

Em, where are you?

Noah, don't talk.

I don't wanna wake anyone.

- Do you hear me?

- See, you can do it too!

- It's like walkie-talkies.

- Better.

We need to get the

spinners and the generator.

There's a camera.

What do we do?

Use your spider speak, Noah.

Right.

Got it.

Em...

Took care of the cameras.

I can unlock the door, Noah.

It's locked.

The spinners are breaking.

We need more.

- We don't have more.

- Yes, we do.

On Whidbey.

Under the bed. I can see them.

Well, what good is that gonna do us?

Come on, we have to hurry.

There it is.

Come on, Noah. Let's go.

You have to drive us to whidbey.

I can't drive.

Yes, you can.

Just like phantom racer.

You can do it.

Come on, let's go.

Whoa!

What's that?

This is a lot easier than phantom racer.

Please drive carefully.

What's wrong?

I think we're out of gas.

Now what?

- What?

- I was dreaming.

Oh, man, it was so vivid.

You... You know that

crab place on highway 20?

Yeah.

I was standing in the parking lot.

No, but it was...

It's like I was really there.

Parking lot at...?

Well...

Did you... Did you

see any numbers?

- Sorry.

- I was standing there...

...and I was waiting for

something or someone...

...and I really wanted to run

but I couldn't move.

-Honey.

- Yeah.

And... I knew something really

important was gonna happen.

But then I got scared

and I woke up.

Ok.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go back to sleep.

No, no, you're not

gonna go back to sleep.

And you know why?

Because you have to go there.

What are you talking about?

This was a dream.

How many of these dreams

do you have to have, Larry?

Honey, the universe

is speaking to you.

It is?

Larry!

What is it saying?

Well, right now it's saying,...

..."Get out of bed and

put on some clothes."

Check it out.

Do you see that?

Do you see that?

You keep doubting yourself...

...and you keep doubting me

but do you see that, Larry?

Mr. White, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

You're asking me

what I'm doing here?

I don't know what I'm doing here.

What am I doing here?

He listened to his dream.

That's what he's doing here.

Look... Who drove you here?

We drove ourselves.

In that? In the truck?

Wh... What were you doing driving

a truck? You're a little boy!

We escaped. We need you.

We need you to help us get to Whidbey.

Whidbey? What is on Whidbey?

Our house. Where we found mimzy.

Well, we're not gonna be

able to help you with that.

I'm so sorry. Because your

parents have probably...

...contacted the authorities...

...and we could be arrested

for kidnapping.

Larry, could I talk to you?

Just give us a second, kids.

I'm so sorry.

It's true what I'm say...

What are you doing?

We are talking miracles here!

The whole universe is trying

to communicate with you...

...and you're worried about...

...something as

earthbound as kidnapping?

God, I love you

but you drive me crazy.

Come on, it's a long drive.

I don't even know how

to get to Whidbey Island.

I do. Come on, kids,

get in the car.

- Can I drive?

- No!

Yeah, let the kid drive.

- Why not?

- Larry! Get in the car.

Do you guys know how to

use seatbelts? Put them on.

Here you go. Here you go.

You got your doll?

Ok, everybody,

fingers and toes in. Good.

Seatbelts, please!

Ok, Whidbey Island.

- Hi, this is Jo...

- Oh, hi, Jo.

I'm not here right now

to take your call...

- So please...

- Damn it!

Are you ok?

Does anyone know any games?

- Uh, I spy...

- This really is not the time.

Larry!

I don't want mimzy to die.

Mimzy's not gonna die.

Look, trust me.

We have all the roads covered.

We're gonna get 'em back.

They're just two kids.

The state police got an ID

on the laundry truck.
