[Thomas, wearing a WCKD soldier uniform and helmet and holding a Launcher, and Teresa enter the lobby of the WCKD tower.] [To Teresa]
Don't stop.
[Thomas and Teresa walk through security scanners, which blink from red to green. As they make their way through the lobby, they walk past two WCKD soldiers. Thomas and Teresa come face to face with Newt, also wearing a WCKD soldier uniform and helmet and holding a Launcher. Newt has entered the lobby of the WCKD tower before Thomas and Teresa entered. Newt jerks his head for them to follow him and walks ahead. Thomas and Teresa gaze at each other before following Newt. They make their way down a staircase and into a corridor with a glass wall running along a parking garage. As Thomas, Teresa, and Newt make their way through the corridor, Gally, also wearing a WCKD soldier uniform and helmet and holding a Launcher and having entered the WCKD tower through a parking garage, walks alongside Thomas, Teresa, and Newt through the other side. He surges ahead to enter through a doorway to the corridor and smoothly cuts in front of Thomas, Teresa, and Newt. While leading the way, Gally briefly glances back at Thomas, Teresa, and Newt. Thomas, Teresa, Newt, and Gally arrive at a security door. Teresa uses her thumbprint ID to open the door and she, Thomas, Newt, and Gally walk into a stairwell.]
[To Teresa and Newt]
Go, go, go.
[As Thomas, Teresa, and Newt make their way down a stairwell, Gally approaches electrical boxes.] [To Thomas, Teresa, and Newt]
Hold on, hold on. [Feels the third electrical box] I can get in here. [Lifts up his helmet]
[Lifts up his helmet, to Teresa]
Stay there. [To Gally] Throw me the walkie. [Gally tosses him a walkie-talkie. He catches it]
[Teresa sits down on a step and Newt leans over the stairwell railing. As Thomas goes down the stairwell. Newt lifts up his helmet and starts coughing, with Teresa watching on. Newt notices and turns away from Teresa. As Gally starts cutting open the electrical box door using a handheld circular saw, Thomas walks back up the stairwell and makes his way over to the door he, Teresa, Newt, and Gally just entered.]
[On his walkie-talkie] [To Frypan]
Frypan, we're in. How you doing?
[Outside, Frypan, also wearing a WCKD soldier uniform, is climbing up a ladder leading up into a crane.] [On his walkie-talkie]
Yeah. Yeah, I'm getting there. Tell Minho "Hi," for me.
[Over Frypan's walkie-talkie]
Hang in there, buddy.
[Inside...] [Pulls open the electrical box door and gazes at the wires with labels on them] [To Thomas]
This'll work.
[On his walkie-talkie] [To Brenda]
Brenda, what's your status?
[Brenda is at a parking lot full of buses hiding from two WCKD soldiers, waiting for them to leave.] [On her walkie-talkie]
Status is, I'm working on it.
[Over Brenda's walkie-talkie]
Copy. Just make sure you're ready on your end.
[On her walkie-talkie]
Don't worry. You know I'm gonna be there. [Runs to a bus once the two WCKD soldiers outside leave]
[Inside...] [Connects a jamming device to the wires and places it on the inside of the electrical box door] [To Thomas, Teresa, and Newt]
All right, let's go. [Closes the electrical box door]
[Lawrence's hideout: Lawrence's crew get a signal from Gally on a computer screen.] Member of Lawrence's crew: [To Lawrence] We got a signal.
J Jasper
[To Lawrence]
Gally did it. We're in.
Good. Give me everything. I want full control.
[Two WCKD soldiers, one of whom is holding chain cuffs, enter a cell where Minho, tranquil and silent, is lying on a bed.] [To the other soldier]
Let's get him up.
[Bringing Minho into a room where Teresa is, the two WCKD soldiers sit Minho down opposite Teresa, then walk out.] [To Minho]
Minho. Can you hear me? There's a little girl here. Her name's Cheyenne. She's been infected for three weeks now. But, Minho– you're going to save her. And you can save so many others. Everything we're doing here– it's working. Do you understand? That's why this is so important.
[Minho just sits looking tranquil and silent.] [Gets up]
I just wanted you to know.
[Calls out to Teresa before she can leave]
Teresa.
[Turns around]
Minho? [Approaches Minho] Minho?
[Breaks from his tranquil and silent state]
YOU'RE A TRAITOR!!! [Grabs Teresa and slams her down on the table, then pulls her up] WE TRUSTED YOU!!! [Slams Teresa down on the table again]
[As the two WCKD soldiers run into the room, Minho grabs Teresa's metal hair clip. As the soldiers restrain Minho, Teresa gets up.]
GET OFF ME!!! GET OFF ME!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!! YOU TRAITOR!!! YOU KILLED THEM ALL!!!
N Nurse
[As Teresa closes the doors, the soldiers taser Minho. As Teresa presses her back against a wall to catch her breath, a nurse rushes over to her, causing Teresa to turn to the nurse.] [To Teresa]
Teresa, they need you in the med lab. It sound serious.
[Teresa and the nurse head down the hall. Teresa approaches Paige.] [To Teresa]
I'm sorry, Teresa.
[Teresa and Paige watch through one of the lab windows as Cheyenne, who has become a Crank, fights off two men in far more rage, violence, and aggressiveness than before, who are wearing hazmat suits and trying to restrain her, while the WCKD scientist, also trying to restrain her, injects an injector into her arm.] [To Teresa]
It's not your fault. You did everything you could.
[Overcome with sadness, Teresa walks away, with Paige watching on.]
[WCKD tower: Teresa is looking through a microscope when the WCKD scientist enters, causing Teresa to gaze up at him.] [To Teresa]
We're ready.
[Teresa enters the medical wing. As Teresa makes her way through the medical wing, she passes by the Cranks, who are pounding against the glass doors that are keeping them separated from everyone else. Teresa approaches Cheyenne, who is infected with the Flare and lying on a bed.] [To Cheyenne]
Chey?
C Cheyenne
Hi, Miss Teresa.
[Teresa nods to a doctor, who cleans Cheyenne's arm.]
How are you feeling?
C Cheyenne
[Another doctor gives Teresa an injector with Minho's blood in it. Teresa takes it.] [Glances at the injector in Teresa's hand]
Is that gonna make me better?
I hope so. Do you remember the story you were telling me? About the house you grew up in?
C Cheyenne
I don't remember.
C Cheyenne
[Teresa injects the injector into Cheyenne's arm. Cheyenne starts wincing in pain.]
It burns.
[Teresa pulls out the injector from Cheyenne's arm and gives it to the doctor. The doctor takes it.]
There we go. All done. You're so brave.
[Cheyenne stops wincing in pain as the veins on her skin start to fade and the red in her eyes starts to turn white. Janson is walking down the hall. He finds Paige, who is standing in the hall, watching through one of the lab windows as Teresa and Cheyenne converse with each other. Janson approaches Paige.] [To Paige]
Oh, that is incredible. How soon can you administer to the infected?
You show a lot of compassion for someone who just opened fire on a crowd.
You told me to do my job. I had a shot. I took it.
And missed, apparently. The patrols never found a body. Thomas is still out there.
What about her? Does she know?
No. She can't. I need her to stay focused.
[Paige and Janson watch through one of the lab windows as Teresa and Cheyenne converse with each other.]
Elevate security levels throughout the city. I'm counting on you to handle this, Janson.
[Thomas: Why don't you just kill me?]
Kill you? No, we don't wanna do that. We're gonna take special care of you. We'll keep you alive. Just. And in return– you will give life to the rest of us. The ones we choose to save anyway. Of course, there's not gonna be enough for everyone. Hard choices are gonna have to be made. In time, the Flare virus will burn itself out. The only question is, who will be the ones left standing? And thanks to you, to this, we finally get to choose. A future of our own making. [Rolls up his sleeve to reveal black veins on his left arm, then gets ready to inject the serum with Thomas' blood in it into his left arm] To your health. [Gets hit in the head with a glass flask by Teresa and falls to the floor unconscious]
[Voiceover as Thomas reads the letter]
Dear Thomas– this is the first letter I can remember writing. Obviously, I don't know if I wrote any before the Maze. But even if it's not my first, it's likely to be my last. I want you to know that I'm not scared. Well, not of dying, anyway. It's more forgetting. It's losing myself to this virus, that's what scares me. So every night, I've been saying their names out loud. Alby, Winston, Chuck. And I just repeat them over and over like a prayer, and it– and it all comes flooding back. Just the little things like where the sun used to hit the Glade at that perfect moment right before it slipped beneath the walls. And I remember the taste of Frypan's stew. I never thought I'd miss that stuff so much. And I remember you. I remember the first time you came up in the Box, just a scared little Greenie who couldn't even remember his own name. But from that moment you ran into the Maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. We all have. If I could do it all over again, I would. And I wouldn't change a thing. And my hope for you– is when you're looking back years from now, you'll be able to say the same. The future's in your hands now, Tommy. And I know you'll find a way to do what's right. You always have. Take care of everyone for me. And take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy. Thank you for being my friend. Goodbye, mate. Newt.
