[Thomas, Newt, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge arrive in a room. They go down the stairs leading down into a makeshift den complete with bookshelves, framed art, and an indoor garden. Gally reaches the bottom first. As Thomas, Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge reach the bottom, Gally puts down his mask and submachine gun on a table and goes to Lawrence. As Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge look around the room, Thomas follows Gally to Lawrence.]
Gally– glad to see you made it back. Jasper told me what happened.
It was a slaughter. There's nothing we could do against those guns.
No– but they can only poke the hornet's nest so long before they get stung. [Smells a rose] Now, who are these people? Why are they here?
We need to get into WCKD. Gally said you can get us through the walls.
Gally should know better than to make promises that he can't keep. Besides, that wall is only half your problem. [Takes his IV stand and drags it to his left side] Getting inside WCKD is impossible.
There might be a way now– but it doesn't work without Thomas.
Is that so? [Approaches Thomas] [To Thomas] Do you know what I am– Thomas? I am a businessman– which means that I don't– take– unnecessary risks. Why should I trust you?
Because I can help you. You see, if you can get through those walls– I'll get you what you need.
And what is it– that you think I need?
Time. Every last drop.
Is that what I need?
WCKD has something we both want.
I'll tell you what. Two can go for now. The rest stay down here with me. Just a little insurance to make sure you find your way back. We have a deal? [Holds out his hand]
Gally, show him the way.
