(gentle music)

(car alarm blaring)

(alarm chiming)

(lighthearted gentle music)

(floorboards creaking)

- [Miss Winthrop] David?

David, come see me at once!

David, have you found a job?

- No, ma'am.

- We've talked about this.

You're an adult now.

- [Dave] I know.

- Do you?

This is not an orphanage.

(sighs deeply)

I shouldn't have said that.

I only meant we are a private institution.

We simply don't have the funds

to support you in a room of your own.

- Yes, ma'am, I know.

(Miss Winthrop sighs)

- I didn't call you in here to be scolding.

I've spoken with my brother,

and he has agreed to work in a position for you.

- Doing what?

- [Miss Winthrop] Whatever he asks.

- I may have something lined up.

I'm on my way there now.

- Another hair-brained scheme for pocket change?

- No, this is legit.

I really need to go.

I don't wanna be late.

- Monday morning, David!

(uptempo guitar strumming)

(upbeat music)

(bell tolls)

- Dave, good to see you again.

Come in, come in, come in.

Come in, come in, have a seat.

- [Dave] Good morning, Mrs. Rupert.

- Please, call me Sally.

- [Dave] Thank you.

- [Doc] So, I bet you're eager to hear

what this is all about.

- Sure, but I gotta say, Dr. Rupert,

if you're doing some sort of clinical trial,

I'm perfectly healthy and count me out of any drug testing.

- (laughs) Call me Doc,

and I'm not that kind of doctor.

I'm a theoretical physicist,

and Sally here is a behavioral psychologist.

We were very impressed with your answers.

- That's not exactly a market survey.

- Sally, created the brilliant piece of work

to help us screen candidates for a project of ours.

Fortunately, for us a few candidates rose to the top,

and you, Dave, you were at the very top of the list.

- Thanks.

- So, let's get right to it,

and I'll show you what this is all about.

- All right. (bright music)

(gentle music)

- Take a close look at that banana.

See if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

- I give, looks like plain old banana.

- Old indeed.

Now what if I told you I put

that banana in the box a year ago?

(Sally and Doc chuckling)

- It's perfectly fine go ahead, taste it.

- What the heck?

Fresh.

So this is a food preservation contraption?

- Oh, it's much more than that.

Here.

What's wrong with this watch?

- The date's off it's a year behind.

- As it should be, since that watch

has been in that box for exactly one year.

- You expect me to believe that?

- (scoffs) I certainly do,

and I expect before long, you will.

- Okay. - Have a seat.

Undoubtedly you've heard the phrase suspended animation.

Well forget everything you knew about that.

That's not what happens here,

but it's close enough.

All right then, (sighs)

pick a time as long as you want.

We'll give it a go.

- Three minutes?

- Perfect.

All right, check the time and drop it inside.

(timer beeps)

And the pocket watch.

All right, now when you press that little red button,

you'll have 10 seconds to put the lid back on.

- And what if I don't get it on before 10 seconds?

(imitates explosion)

- (laughs) Nothing, absolutely nothing.

The foil lining is the perimeter of the induced field.

Without a complete enclosure, the field can't be generate.

It'll cause a spark and nothing more.

- Jarvis, you shouldn't tease the poor boy.

(gentle music)

- Is it working?

- [Doc] Absolutely.

- Okay, times up.

Awesome, it's off by three minutes!

That's awesome!

(Sally and Doc chuckling)

So what do you need me for?

- Sally and I are going away,

and we'd like you to take care of our things.

- Oh, I see like a house sitter?

- Except, we're not coming back.

- Where the heck are you going?

- It's not so much where, but when.

- So when?

- The year 2120.

- That's like a hundred years?

- And not a day older.

- There are details to work out, but all of this,

everything, will be yours.

(chuckling softly)

(laughing hysterically)

We've inventoried everything.

The way we see it, we can't take it with us.

- You're serious?

- [Doc] Absolutely.

- What's the catch?

- There's no catch.

Your discretion, of course.

We'll disappear quietly,

and you'll be in charge of clearing our estate.

You don't have to make a decision this instant.

Think it over.

Come back tomorrow if your in.

(gentle music)

- You don't fool around.

- We've been planning this for a very long time.

- Can't be too careful, even for a test run.

I believe we've thought of everything.

- Disaster plan?

- It's an unpleasant thought,

but we've gotta be ready for the worst.

There's no need to go over it.

We're quite confident.

But it's all in here.

- It's just a precaution.

- What is it?

- Well, if you're gonna be in these boxes

for a hundred years, where you gonna keep them?

- Brilliant observation.

- You do catch on quickly.

- You can bet in a hundred years

this old place will be dozed over,

but Sally and I we've got another

little piece of real estate.

- [Dave] Oh, really?

- At the cemetery.

- [Dave] Seriously?

- Think about it, undisturbed for centuries.

- Yeah, but you'd be buried alive?

You gonna claw yourselves out?

- Don't worry about that.

We've got an above-ground mausoleum.

- Try not to think of it that way.

It really isn't morbid.

- Hey, if anything goes wrong,

we'll be in a fitting final resting place.

- You're not helping.

- All right, let's see how this works.

- [Dave] You're kidding me, space blankets?

- Twenty bucks at the sporting goods store.

All right, they're set for 60 minutes.

Here.

And if we're not out in two hours.

- Gee, thanks for the reminder.

- So, who's ready to take these babies for a test drive?

Anymore questions?

- Nope.

(gentle dramatic music)

(timer chimes)

(gentle dramatic music)

- Still me.

- Was there ever a doubt?

- Sixty minutes exactly.

(Sally and Doc gasping)

Hey, quick as a wink.

- I wouldn't have known it worked at all

if not for the watches.

- Hey, thanks for your help.

- I really didn't do anything.

- Well, thank goodness you didn't have to.

Okay, who's hungry?

- Yeah.

(gentle upbeat music)

(Doc and Dave muttering softly)

Yeah.

Baby.

Open them!

- Tada!

- Oh, my god, that's so great!

That is so sweet.

- The best cake ever. - That is so awesome.

(car revving)

- It's official.

You're sole executor of our estate.

You can drive it if you want.

Technically, it's yours now.

- I'm good.

Thanks.

- She's been good to me.

Serviced regularly.

All the records are in the glove box.

- I'll keep that in mind.

- You wouldn't consider selling

this chick magnet now would you?

- It'd be a shame, but I don't have a boat permit.

- Oh, you do have your license?

- Yeah, but I haven't driven since...

Since I moved to the city.

- It's like riding a bike.

You never forget.

- Even if you wanna forget?

(sighs deeply)

- Sorry, about your folks.

Were you driving?

- Nah, I was in the back seat.

Hey, can we talk about something else?

- You can't run from it forever.

- So what are you running from?

- Not me.

I'm looking ahead.

I've got ideas this world isn't ready for.

(chuckles gently)

- Yeah, I bet you do.

Is this a pet cemetery?

- [Doc] Yeah, didn't I tell you that?

- No, I'm pretty sure you didn't.

- [Doc] Is that a problem?

- No, I guess not.

(bird squawking)

(gentle music)

- You see, Dave, there's a lot of red tape

involved in putting someone to rest,

especially if you don't even have a body,

But if you've got a family pet and money to spend,

they don't ask a lot of questions.

- I guess.

- Maybe you're still hung up on us dying?

But remember we're just disappearing,

going off the grid, so to speak.

No funeral service.

This is just a place to hang out

and wait for the 22nd century.

- Oh, okay, when you say it that way,

it's not weird at all.

(birds squawking)

Doc and Miss Sally.

Have you even owned a horse?

- No, but they sure are beautiful animals, aren't they?

- Yeah.

- See the key is disguising the opening

to give the impression that it's sealed.

- Yeah.

- Now it's pretty simple.

You just put it in like that.

It settles in.

And then you just go counterclockwise.

(metal grinding)

(Doc sighs)

(gentle music)

- You thought of everything.

- Well, let's certainly hope so.

- Come on, Doc.

You don't really need me, do you?

- Well, sure we do.

Hey, you've already helped us more than you'll ever know.

- I haven't done a thing, but listen.

- Exactly.

I'll pencil in another clock sync.

I've had calibration problems with the prototype.

This 24-hour test needs to rule out any drift.

(gentle music)

- You never had children?

- It wasn't on our check sheet.

(water splashing)

Medical science can perform miracles,

but sometimes you have to accept your limitations.

So, Jarvis and I fill those gaps with adventure.

- That works? - It doesn't hurt.

- I've been thinking.

Maybe there's a way I could.

- [Doc] T-minus five minutes.

- Could what, dear?

- Nevermind, it was silly.

See you in 24 hours.

- See you a lot sooner.

(chuckling gently)

- [Sally] Good night, Dave.

- Night, Sally.

Night, Doc.

(gentle music)

Maybe I could go with you?

No, I don't wanna be cremated.

I just want an above-ground mausoleum.

(gentle music)

Six months, I could be dead by then!

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for.

How high are they off the floor?

And do they lock from the inside or the outside?

Hello?

Hello?

- Bullseye!

- [Sally] You changed, you had on a red...

Oh, of course you did that was yesterday.

- It feels cold.

Was it cold today?

- [Dave] Oh, man freezing.

- [Sally] (sighs) I'm tired.

How about you, Hon?

- Oh yes, definitely.

- Good, good.

It's nice to know we didn't take a 24-hour nap.

That'd change everything.

- I feel like I just ate.

- Completely stuffed.

- That makes two of you.

- [Sally] Oh, you haven't eaten?

There are leftovers.

They might even still be...

No, they wouldn't be warm.

(microwave beeps)

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Every test has gone like clockwork.

We are all set to go.

Sally and I need a few days to finalize things

with friends, of course.

- Finalize things?

- Yeah, it's a little touchy.

You know, hinting that there's a chance we won't be back,

even though we know we won't be back.

But don't concern yourself with that.

The real question is whether you're available

Saturday to see us off.

- Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem.

- All right, then why don't you come over for dinner

Friday night, and we'll go over last minute plans.

- [Dave] Swell.

- That's my boy!

(dishes clanking)

(gentle music)

All this is yours, Dave.

Keep any of it you'd like.

But I really hope you'll keep this.

I doubt it has any monetary value.

I got it for 20 bucks back in '83

when I was getting ready to teach my first class.

I thought it would make me look distinguished. (chuckles)

I didn't even take it out of my pocket.

It wasn't until years later that I started

carrying it after my wristwatch died.

Then I got used to it, and I've been carrying it ever since.

- Well, you should take it with you.

- We're taking anything except our memories.

And our clothes, obviously,

- Do you know how hard it is trying to guess

what people will be wearing in a hundred years?

- Denim jeans never go out of style.

Thanks, Doc.

I'll keep it forever.

Sally?

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

- I guess that's it then.

- The meal was wonderful.

- Can I give you a ride home?

- Nah, it's nice out.

Thanks though.

- Bright and early then?

- Bright and early.

- Good morning!

- [Dave] If you say so.

- He, would you mind driving?

I'd like a good final look along the way.

- You asked.

- Riding a bike.

(car engine revving)

(birds chirping)

52,594,560 seconds.

- Check.

- What's next?

- That's it.

- We really do appreciate everything you're doing for us.

We'll miss you.

- Yeah, I'll miss you, too.

- Thanks, Dave.

- [Dave] My pleasure.

- Let's do this.

(gentle music)

(gentle dramatic music)

- Thanks.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music intensifying)

(gentle dramatic music)

(water splashing)

(water splashing)

(fast-paced uptempo music)

(water splashing)

(gentle ambient music)

(crickets chirping)

(gentle ambient music)

(birds chirping)

(people chatting distantly)

(birds chirping)

(people chatting distantly)

- Hello?

Anyone there?

Hello?

Anyone here?

I'm sorry to intrude.

(uptempo orchestral music)

- [Woman] What is that?

- Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

(girl giggles)

(birds chirping)

(giggling) You win.

You win.

(birds chirping)

(bird squawking)

(gentle upbeat music)

(bar patrons chatting)

- What can I get you?

- I'm good.

No money.

- You mean credits?

You won't find me serving anything

potent enough to need credits.

- Oh.

- [Bartender] So what'll it be?

- Surprise me?

It's good, thank you.

- [Bartender] So where you from?

- North.

- Ah, I should've guessed by at there accent.

Did you just come out of the caves, did you?

Lucy's Lair, the caverns.

- No, I haven't been there.

Well, uh,

not in a while anyway.

(upbeat guitar music playing in bar)

(bar patrons chatting softly)

Come on, this is the 22nd century.

I have to whizz in the dark?

Lights on.

(Dave claps hands)

Come on, come on, come on.

(pants unzipping)

(urine trickling)

(pants zipping)

- Guys, this guy came to our house,

and wrinkled up all my clothes, and then.

- I just wanted to apologize for that in person.

- No need to bother.

I appreciate the gesture though.

I know how that place can be.

Is this your first visit to the caverns?

- Nah, I was here when I was little.

I don't remember much though.

- Well, it hasn't changed that's for sure.

It takes a stalactite 200 years to grow an inch.

- You a tour guide or something?

- No, not anymore.

But don't worry, they have other guides.

- I'm Dave by the way.

- Hi, Dave By The Way.

- No, I meant. - No, no, I know.

I'm Nalia.

- Oh, no, I'm good.

Thanks.

I guess I better go look for my friends.

I kind of got turned around.

Can you point me towards Everlawn?

Dead animals and such?

Look I'll just go then.

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

(bird squawks)

(thunder rumbling)

(Dave shudders)

- [Nalia] Who are you?

- I told you, I'm Dave.

- What are you doing here?

- Looking for my friends, but they're gone.

- What happened to your clothes?

- [Dave] It's raining.

- No, the ones you pilfered.

- They're borrowed.

I didn't wanna get them wet.

- They're waterproof you should know that.

- I'm not from around here.

I mean, I am, but it's hard to explain.

- Don't bother, I know who you are.

You shouldn't have come here.

It's the first place they looked.

- I'm not sure who you think I am.

- Put the dry stuff on we're going.

- Right here?

- Yeah, I've seen it all.

(rain pattering)

(gentle dramatic music)

(thunder rumbling)

You're hungry, aren't you?

- Yeah, it's been like a hundred years.

- [Nalia] What would you like?

- A juicy steak would be nice.

(gentle music)

(rain pattering)

- There's more if you want it.

You can have the whole crate if you like.

- You got anything with protein?

- What is this?

- Calumunday.

- It's pure awesome!

Do you ever eat any cooked food?

- What do you mean?

- You know, hot food.

- Oh, I tried it once.

They went through a lot of effort for something so bland.

- So you're a vegetarian?

You eat only fruit, vegetables, nuts.

- Yeah, what else would I eat?

- Meat, chicken, fish.

- Do you eat animals?

- Well, yeah, but they've gotta be cooked.

I'm good with this whatchamacally.

- I thought that they were wrong about you.

- Who that couple in the woods?

Who do you think I am?

- You're the devil's child.

- Wait, what?

What are talking about?

I'm not.

- Yeah, I'd like to believe that.

- No, trust me, I'm not.

I can explain.

You won't believe it either.

Look, I'm from another time,

before you were even born.

Before your parents were born.

I've been hibernating in a cave for a long time.

- I know.

- Well, how could you know?

- The legend.

The legend of Lucy's Lair.

- So what's with this legend?

Come on, I think I have a right to know if I'm legendary.

- No, it's silly.

Nobody believes it anyway.

- Obviously, you do.

- It was a long time ago before any of us were born.

The Winter Woman came here looking for.

- The devil's child?

- She showed up every spring.

They said that she would tell anyone that would listen

about the child from Lucifer's Lair.

- A child doesn't sound so bad.

- His father destroyed the kingdom of Everlawn.

Devoured the animals and scattered their bones at the gates.

That's what we tell the tourists.

Anyways, but people have spoken to her.

I've spoken to her.

I was only a little girl.

Everyone went on about the comet, Haley's Comet.

(gentle music)

I thought if I could get high enough,

then I could reach it.

But no matter how high I went,

I still couldn't reach it.

When it was time to go home,

every direction looked the same.

(gentle dramatic music)

- Oh my.

It's a child.

Don't worry little one I won't hurt you.

Oh, god, I must seem hideous.

I'll just be right over here when you warm up to me.

(gentle music)

Well, look at you.

I am so blessed to have

such a pretty little girl come visit me.

- Do you live here?

- I guess, I do.

I suppose you live somewhere close by, too.

Oh, don't you worry.

It's okay I have a pretty good idea of where you're from.

What's a little girl doing out here all alone?

- I came to see the comet.

No, silly last night.

- All by yourself?

- Uh-huh.

- And you lost your way?

What's your name, child?

- Nalia.

- Oh, what a beautiful name.

I suppose you've heard the stories of the devil's child?

Well, that's okay because they're a bunch of hogwash.

- Hogwash?

- Yeah, they're a bunch of nonsense.

Nalia, I want you to remember something.

When you hear the stories of the legend,

and I'm sure you will,

I want you to know they have it all wrong.

He's not the devil's child.

He's just lost just like you.

(rain pattering)

- My parents didn't even know I had been gone.

And when I told them what happened,

they told me it was just a dream.

So I ran out to find her,

and she was already gone.

They didn't believe me.

Nobody ever believes me.

- I believe you.

I'm not a monster.

I'll tell you everything.

(insects chirping)

You don't believe me.

- Yeah.

I do.

- Is it like this everywhere?

- More or less.

- No, I mean, all over the world?

- Everywhere I've been.

- But you haven't been many places.

- I've been all over.

- You walked?

- Do you really not know what that is?

- Sure, it's a privy.

But don't ask me how to use it.

- Come here.

(gentle music)

(keypad beeps)

It didn't move, we did.

That gizmo in your bag,

these portal use the same principle.

- We can go anywhere in this thing?

- Not just anywhere that could get ugly.

There has to be an empty port open.

Come here.

We could hop from here to there.

- So they're like Doc's shoe boxes.

- I'll race you down? (laughs)

Come on, where's your sense of adventure?

- I left it in the 21st century.

- Come on.

Wait 21st century?

- Yeah, 2020.

- We have to go to the library.

Big place with books?

I know you had books back in your day.

- Yeah, it's just I thought by the time we got here

everything would be electronic.

- What a waste of electricity.

- So you do have electricity?

- Yeah, this isn't the dark ages.

But we use it wisely not like in the material days.

Sorry, no offense.

(gentle music)

(keypad beeps)

- Could we go to the moon in this thing?

- No, not from here.

We'd have to go to a port equipped with an airlock

and all that space business.

- But we could go to the moon?

- It's really not that exciting.

- What about Mars? - What about the library?

- There's not many books for a world library.

- These are just what's trending.

The others are...

You'll see.

- [Dave] The internet.

- Oh, it's worse than I thought.

This is a computer.

- Yeah, we had one in every room.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

It must have been a terribly boring time.

(gentle music)

What's your last name?

- You're gonna Google me?

- I'm gonna what?

- I don't wanna know about me anyway.

Look up Dr. Jarvis Rupert.

- Oh, I've heard about this guy,

"free-spirited scientist,

"reflective isolation theory."

He has a biography.

- Wait back up there's Sally!

- That's her.

That's.

- The Winter Woman.

- Yeah.

- Let me guess the book was zapped here

from another library?

- Close, but no.

It was here the whole time.

I just woke it up, so to speak.

- How many are in there?

- Thousands.

- Wait, don't we have to check them out?

- We'll check them out at home.

- No, I mean, don't we have to tell someone we have them?

- Why?

- Well, so they know who has them.

- Why would they care?

- What if we don't bring them back?

- Why wouldn't we bring them back?

Oh, my.

- What?

Come on what is it?

- You're not gonna find your friends, Dave.

According to this, Dr. Rupert died at the age of 72.

- That's impossible.

He was in his 60s.

That means I missed the date by 20 years.

- I'm so sorry, Dave, longer than that.

This says he died on August 1, 2149.

Yesterday when you arrived, it was the year 2874.

- (scoffs) That's over 700 years.

- That's what I'm saying.

- But Sally, the Winter Woman,

she's still looking for me.

- I don't think so, Dave.

She didn't look like this when I met her.

She well into her winter times.

- Winter times?

- You're pretty spry for 700-year-old man.

Don't you think?

- Well, yeah, I skipped a few centuries.

- Exactly, when we travel, we don't age.

And if we go far enough,

we can lose hours, days even.

- That's gotta be confusing?

- Exactly, that's why we don't measure time

in the way you did.

I'd probably be like 20.

- Beats 700.

- [Nalia] Now we measure our age in seasons.

When we're born, we're new like spring,

and then we end our lives in the winter,

when our hair turns white like the snow.

- But what if you go bald?

- It's not just about appearances.

Our winter times are a chance to relax

and reflect on seasons past,

and look forward to a new spring.

- Pushing up daisies.

Where's that put you?

- I've entered summer.

Time to bear fruit.

Not just children, Dave.

The fruits of knowledge and experience.

- Yeah, what I was thinking.

- Sally was very wintery.

- Well, like you said.

She wouldn't age inside the tomb.

- No, but she hasn't been back.

I mean, nobody's seen her.

- Maybe she got better at hiding.

- [Nalia] I've looked for her myself, Dave,

since I was in my springtime,

since I was a little girl.

- At the caverns?

- There and everywhere else.

She hasn't been back.

- If she's out there, I'll find her.

You live alone?

- Practically.

My little sister lives here

when she's not off on her studies.

- Oh.

- Jaila's actually the firstborn of the family,

but with all her planet hopping, I kind of passed her up.

- That's gotta be weird.

- Yeah, totally.

She still thinks she can boss me around.

She's so immature.

- [Dave] Where's she now?

- Heaven knows.

Off studying planetary gas storms I think.

Neptune probably.

- [Dave] That's so cool.

- Freezing actually. (scoffs)

(insects chattering)

- Are there any cities left?

- Like New York?

- You've heard of it?

- In history lessons.

- History.

- Well, it just didn't make sense anymore, you know,

cramming all those people together in one place.

- So the dozed them over?

- I'm sorry about your city, Everlawn?

- Nah, that was a cemetery.

I lived in Rayport.

Well, for a while anyway until my folks, you know.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what I would do.

- Yeah, I didn't know what to do either.

- So did your friends take you in then?

- Uh, Doc and Sally?

Nah, that wasn't till later.

I bunked at the Boy's Club till I was 18.

Then I took a job working for Mrs. Winthrop's brother.

- City life must have been ghastly.

- It wasn't too bad, but I could get used to this.

(insects chirping)

(dramatic music)

- Ah, Sleeping Beauty has awakened.

We've been waiting for you for a very long time.

- Do you know this guy?

Who is he?

- No, I don't know him.

I had nothing to do with this.

- Nothing to do with what?

- Nothing you need to worry about.

We're just here for a little chat.

- In the middle of the night?

- Oh, that wasn't our intention,

but since you're awake, forgive my manners.

My name is Samuel,

and what is your name, sir?

- Dave.

- This is my friend Jax.

So, Dave, is that short for David?

- It's what my mom called me.

- So, David, we'd still like to know why you're here.

- Well, Sammy, I haven't been to these caverns

since I was a kid,

So I thought I'd check them out.

- So, David, you figured you'd tromp

through the muddy forest to get here.

- Yeah, Sammy, it was a beautiful walk.

You should hike it sometime.

- (laughs) Perhaps I shall,

but we should let Nalia here get some rest

and take this conversation elsewhere.

- Yeah, let's go outside.

- Hmm, I was thinking somewhere a little more private.

To my office, shall we?

- Let me get my stuff.

See you tomorrow then?

- Hey, how can you listen to this guy?

- I could ask you the same thing.

- Dave's not a monster!

- Maybe.

Well, not like your legend anyway.

- It's not my legend.

- Whatever.

Look you don't even know this kid.

You can't trust him.

- Seems like I can't trust anyone, can I?

- I gotta go.

- Hey, if you hurt him, so help me--

- What, you'll never talk to me again?

(gentle dramatic music)

- Can I get you anything, David?

- No, I just got out of bed.

- Jax?

(dramatic music)

- I'm not the devil's child!

- I know, I know relax.

Shocking image though, isn't it?

(sighs) I was a boy when the image grabbed me,

and it wouldn't let go.

It wasn't till my studies that I truly understood

the source of my fixation was fear.

You see, David, we all share certain natural instincts,

and it wasn't till that time

that I had truly known fear.

And to be honest,

I haven't felt it since.

- That's not me.

- I know it isn't you,

but it does represent you.

The whole legend is just an old story stretched

and distorted over time,

but if you consider all the encounters

with the Winter Woman,

one comes up with an equally fascinating tale.

- How does it end?

- Well, the sad part of the story is

the Winter Woman dies before ever finding her friend,

and the boy eventually awakens

and starts stirring up trouble.

- I'm sure the boy wasn't intentionally causing trouble.

(Sammy laughs)

- They never do, David.

They never do.

Our world is different than the one you left.

Our society is based on trust.

We trust that when we're hungry,

there'll be food for us to eat.

We trust that when we put our clothes away,

they'll be there when we need them.

We trust that no one would harm

a poor defenseless animal.

- Give me a break, I don't have fangs.

You went through my bag.

What are you doing with my stuff?

- Do you mind telling Jax

what you intended to do with these?

- I don't know they came with the kit.

- They're used for gutting and for hooking fish.

- You know what just keep the stuff.

I don't need it I have no use for it anyway.

- It's not that simple, David.

Relax, relax.

Calm down.

I have something I think you'll find very interesting.

(dramatic music)

- I didn't expect you back so soon.

- This is David.

I'd like you to meet Samantha.

She can explain all of this much better than I can.

- It's Dave.

(gentle music)

A planetarium?

- Not exactly.

- Let's let Samantha do all the talking.

- I'm captain of Team Gamma.

Within two hours, the rest of my team

will have returned from a voyage launched 46 years ago,

by Earth standards.

You see, we don't age during our travels.

- Yeah, I'm familiar with the concept.

- That's the rest of my team returning now.

(machine beeps)

(air hissing)

- Hey, Sam.

Who are the PJs?

- Cody, this is Dave.

I'd like for you to give him

a quick demonstration on the pod.

- (sighs) Follow me kid.

(gentle music)

(keypad whirs)

Don't touch anything.

- Roger.

- [Cody] It's Cody.

- Where are we?

- See that bright star?

Port side.

- Oh, yeah, I see it.

- [Cody] That's our sun.

- Awesome.

(machine whirring)

(gentle dramatic music)

- What the?

Creep.

I'm sorry isn't this Jax's home?

- I do hope so.

Although, he hasn't lived here for seasons.

Please come in.

- Do you know where I can find him?

- How exactly do you know him?

- We studied together briefly.

- Ah, cave girl.

- Do you know anything about his mentor?

- Actually, I don't.

I do know that he told him

he was too intelligent for a life playing tough ball.

- You really don't know where I could find him.

- Thanks, Cody, we'll debrief as soon as I'm finished here.

- Thanks for the ride.

It was out of this world.

- If you don't mind, we'd like a moment.

- Sure thing, my team is waiting on me.

(grunting gently)

- What's this all about?

- I'll explain in my office.

- How long was I gone?

- Long enough.

Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce to you

the newest member of Space Exploration Team Gamma.

- Wait a second, what are you talking about?

- Oh, this is your specialty.

I thought you'd be eager to volunteer.

- Thanks for the offer, but I'll respectfully decline.

(laughs heavily)

- I can't allow.

We can't allow fear into this peaceful world.

I've come up with a solution

that will give you a great life.

There are no losers here.

- What if I refuse?

- I'm afraid that just isn't an option.

- You're enjoying this, aren't you?

(chuckles sinisterly)

All this over some missing clothes and some fish hooks?

Is your world really that delicate?

- Oh, look at the devil's child

try to slither his way out of his skin.

- Excuse me.

He makes a point.

Might we be overreacting?

- Oh, Jax, have you learned nothing from my lectures?

I expected so much more from my star apprentice.

Do you not recall the failed colony on Mars?

- Yes, sir, I just thought...

The weapons?

- Oh, we're not going to harm him.

Not if he cooperates anyhow.

- And if I don't?

(chuckles sinisterly)

What, are you gonna handcuff me?

- What do you mean handcuff?

- You know bind me so I can't resist,

or maybe you're really afraid

and want them behind my back?

- I don't think that'll be necessary.

Brothers, I believe it's time!

(tense music)

We'll talk about this!

- I have to hide they're right behind me.

(tense music)

- It's occupied follow the boy if he goes anywhere.

The rest of you come with me.

(tense music)

- Look they wanna shot me into space.

- That doesn't make any sense.

(footsteps approaching)

(keypad whirs)

- David.

You can't run forever.

There's no place to hide.

- [Nalia] Mm, I thought I'd never see you again.

- You don't know how close I was.

(Nalia chuckles)

(gentle music)

- We can't let the door close.

- What?

- When the port is open, no one else can enter.

- Do you still have airplanes?

- I'll just hold the door all day.

- Sorry.

- He's right, you know.

We can't keep running forever.

- Don't I know it.

(insects chattering)

- Hey.

We'll think of something.

(gentle music)

(Samuel sucks egg deeply)

- Marlo is analyzing the data.

It's only a matter of time, but we will find them.

- Send Jenkins to the girl's home.

They'll circle back.

- And the caverns?

- No, let them get inside!

Jax, I'd like to talk to you about your lapse of judgment.

I was ready to offer you a seat in the Brotherhood.

- I appreciate that, sir.

- Do you question my authority?

- No, you are the supreme brother.

- Or the authority of the Brotherhood?

- No, the governing council has outlived its usefulness.

- Nice job with the fire.

I can do it too, scouts honor.

- I trust you, cave boy.

- Caveman, me caveman.

You cave woman.

I'm sorry, I wasn't implying you're primitive.

- It's okay.

(gentle music)

I spent a lot of time in the caves as a kid.

- [Dave] Looking for Sally?

- And a boy.

- The devil's child.

- The lost boy.

- I guess everyone found me, but Sally.

It's food.

It's good, it's protein.

It's not made from animals.

- Ugh, that's disgusting.

- Yeah, it's pretty bad.

- Did it spoil?

- Nah, I don't think these will ever go bad.

It's just how they taste.

- Thanks, but I think I'll starve first.

(bag zipping)

(gentle music)

- I know what I have to do.

I'll go back to my stupid little cave till this all

blows over if it takes a hundred years or a thousand.

They'll forget the freaking legend of Lucy's Lair.

You can come with me.

- No.

I can't.

I feel like I've known you my whole life, but I haven't.

And I have a family.

I have friends.

- Yeah, I knew before I said it.

But I can't stay.

- So you'll just hide?

- It's what I do.

(insects chattering)

- [Nalia] Dave.

- What going on? - Dave, you have to get up.

Get up. - Why what?

- We have to go Samuel's men are coming.

Dave, we have to go. - Where?

Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.

That's too obvious.

- Well, how about Yellowstone?

- We've been there remember?

- Yeah.

You know what forget it.

Bring up a map of Lucy's Lair.

That one.

They'll think I'm going to the caverns.

It may throw them off. - Oh, that's a good idea.

Show me where you'll really be.

- You shouldn't know,

but we need to go here first.

I need to return these clothes.

- I can do that.

- No, I need to do this.

- You can't keep borrowing clothes wherever you go.

That's what got you into this mess.

- Pull tight.

(Dave and Nalia laughing)

You're, staying here.

I wish I can leave a note.

(soft thudding outside)

- [Man] Honey, what was that noise?

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

(gentle music)

- I'm afraid there isn't a key, sir.

- Oh, perfect.

- He's on the move.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- Are you sure you won't come?

Well, what about Samuel?

- Samuel's not interested in me.

Look I'll tell him the truth.

You're gone and you won't be back.

Goodbye, Dave.

Until spring.

(gentle music)

(Samuel sighs)

(birds chirping)

- Where is he?

- Gone.

- Find him.

No one comes in or out.

- [Man] Right away, sir.

- We'll find him.

- No you won't.

You can't find what doesn't exist.

- Oh, he'll be back.

(rain pattering)

- [Doc] You can't run from it forever.

(birds chirping)

- Mom.

Dad.

I'm done running.

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

(body thuds) - Where is he?

- I told you he's gone!

Get out all of you!

- Not until you've told me where he's gone!

And do not say Everlawn.

(electricity crackles)

(birds chirping)

(gentle dramatic music)

(keypad whirs)

- Sally.

- You can thank David for the handcuffs.

Brilliant idea.

Although it took some searching for us to find them.

- You've lost your mind.

- Save it.

Gentlemen, shall we get started?

- Sorry, I'm late, Governor.

- You're just in time.

It's time for you to join us at the table.

- Thank you, Governor.

- Jerk.

- Gentlemen, I have evidence that will prove

that the woman sitting before you

is the legendary devil's child.

(gentle music)

(bird squawking)

- I'm not the devil's child!

- Let it be noted that she denies the allegations.

There'll be no need to repeat it.

Tell us, Mr. Alexander,

has this woman told you on more than one occasion

that she's been visited by the Winter Woman

in Lucifer's Lair caverns?

- Yes.

- You're manipulating the truth!

- The truth?

Would you care to enlighten us with the truth?

Hmm?

Let's proceed.

(Dave grunts)

- Yes.

Come on.

Come on.

(gentle dramatic music)

(stone grinding)

(dramatic music)

- Have you seen these before?

Nothing to say.

Let it be noted that she does not deny

having seen the clothing.

This won't take long, and there'll be no need

to rehash everything that you've told us.

All I need for you to do is identify

where you've seen these foreign garments.

- She was wearing them.

She nearly scared my wife out of her wits.

- And have you seen this woman prior to such an occasion?

- Oh, yeah, in the cavern.

She practically lives there.

- Thank you.

And there'll be no need to worry.

Something like this will never happen again.

I suggest you start talking.

- You said it yourself.

No need to repeat myself.

- Have it your way.

- Sally, am I glad to see you.

- It's been ages.

(gentle music)

You're so young.

It couldn't have been long.

- A few weeks.

I'm so sorry about Doc.

- Oh?

- I read about him.

- They published my book!

I couldn't trust the story to just anyone, now could I?

And I assure you Jarvis is still very much alive.

In a moment.

There's more we need to discuss.

- Gentlemen, we have no idea what terrible event

may have triggered this poor girl's hysteria.

From an early age she has been fixated

on the devil's child.

But a fragile mind can only take so much.

When faced with the reality that

her fairytale was only a myth,

this young woman fabricated an elaborate charade

with no regard for how it would

affect the innocent people around her.

- No, you can't turn this around on me.

He's the crazy one.

Tell them I'm not making this up!

- Calm down.

We're going to get you the help you need.

- I don't need help!

- We'll be the judge of that.

- Yeah, and who are you to judge anyone?

(sinister chuckling)

- We're, the Council of Brothers,

and we have a decision to make.

- We can talk sense to this Samuel guy.

He'll listen to you, and Doc he can outwit anyone.

I'm not sure Nalia's gonna be as happy to see you though.

- I never dreamed you two.

- You should've gone back to her.

- No, it's better this way.

- I don't think so.

She was pretty upset. - There's more.

There's more you need to know.

- Where are you taking me?

- You'll get the help you need.

- Stop!

This isn't right.

- We're only doing what's best for you.

(gentle dramatic music)

- What the hell?

- Is he there?

- [Sally] No, but yes.

- Well, when will he wake.

- As soon as I wire up this button.

- Let's bring him back.

- Wait.

Well, now this is where it gets interesting.

Climb in, in you go. - Wait, what?

- I'm sending you back.

What do you think will happen

if you're in the box when I wake Jarvis?

- In the same place at the same time it'd be ugly.

- No, no it's magical.

The two of you can't exist in the same place

at the same time.

So the only alternative is to trade places.

- What are you talking about?

- Jarvis will be in the box right here right now.

You'll be in the box in the 2149.

- How can that be?

- How can it be any different?

- How do you know?

- Jarvis has proven it.

I'd have him explain it,

but that would ruin everything.

- Ruin what?

- [Sally] Once Jarvis is here,

that doorway to the past will be closed forever.

It's a one-time shot.

- You're saying I'd be back in the 22nd century.

- That's exactly what I'm saying.

- Could I change things?

- [Sally] I don't know, could you?

- But what would happen to you here now?

- I don't know.

We don't know, it's impossible to know.

But I do know this.

You don't have to go.

We can wake Jarvis right now and sort this all out.

- What's going on?

(chuckling sinisterly)

- Back off, you big oaf!

- Taser?

Where did you even get that?

- Just a little something I found in the archives.

- I'm not gonna let you volunteer her!

- Oh, you can't save her

like you did her devilish boyfriend.

- [Jax] I doubt that thing even works.

- Oh, trust me it works.

Ask your old friend here.

Oh, Jax.

I had such high hopes for you.

- You should know more than anyone

the Brotherhood will fail.

The history has proven it more than once.

- And you should know that a keen awareness of the past

will prevent us from repeating the same mistake.

- You can't volunteer both of us.

The captain will never fall for that.

- (laughs) Not this time.

You and witchy woman got the drop on me and escaped.

I fought hard, but, obviously, you were too strong.

It's a shame I didn't have a way to defend myself.

- They'll never believe it.

- The brothers will believe

what I want them to believe!

- You're taking away our lives!

What you're doing is next to murder!

- (laughs) You'll be back the legend say so.

And we'll be waiting.

The world needs someone like me to make sure we're ready!

- You're nothing but a scared little boy.

- Oh, am I.

(electricity crackling) (Jax grunting)

(Samuel laughs sinisterly)

(body thuds)

(dramatic music)

(sinister chuckling)

Are you going in the easy way?

- Are you sure about this?

- The legend has to end before it starts.

(gentle music)

- Ready?

- Yeah.

Dave I found you!

Let me get a good look at you.

You're still a young man.

How long has it been?

- A few weeks maybe.

- Oh, goodness we would've been here sooner,

but there were so many things to finish.

- It's all right, I get it.

- I just knew I'd find you.

(gentle music)

I can hardy wait to hear your story,

but first we must wait for Jarvis.

- You found him!

(Dave stammers)

Good to see you too.

- I thought you were dead!

- I look that old?

(chuckling gently) - No, I meant...

Nevermind.

(Doc chuckles)

- Ooh, those are some fancy pajamas.

- Yeah, I'll tell you all about them.

- I would image the 22nd century seems rather primitive.

- I seriously doubt that.

They aren't using portals.

- Portals some pioneers are pushing them,

but it's been slow getting everybody on board.

But, I think they'll come around.

- Yeah, I imagine they will.

- I'm glad you came back.

It's a remarkable time.

- Yeah, I'm sure it is,

but I can't stay.

I'd like you to come with me,

and I'll need your help.

How much do you know about astronomy?

(insects chattering)

(gentle music)

Hey.

It's late for a little girl to be out of bed.

- I wanted to see the comet.

- You could get lost out here in the dark.

- Yeah.

- Well, I can walk you home if you'd like.

- Okay.

(gentle music)

Thanks, Mister.

- Run fast.

(gentle music)

Wish me luck.

I'll be back to get you soon.

(gentle upbeat music)

- What can I get you?

- Surprise me.

(laughs) Apple juice, thank you.

Do you know anything about the legend of Lucy's Lair?

- Nah, never heard of it.

- Must've been those other caves.

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

Nice day to read.

What you reading?

(chuckles softly)

- What's so funny?

- Nothing.

I'm Dave.

- I'm Nalia.

Have a seat, Dave.

- Okay.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

(gentle music)
