Do you see anyone, Rover?
Alright. Keep watching.
If anyone comes this way,
you'll let me know. Right?
R-Rover?
Okay! One last time. Baby bottle?
Never in the microwave.
And once the milk's heated up?
Test it with a drop on the inside of the wrist.
If she gets an earache?
Three drops of this in each ear.
If she doesn't want to eat?
Don't force her.
Ahh, do you force her?
Oh! Right! Feed her from her favourite bunny dish.
It never fails.
She eats the food so that she can see the bunnies underneath.
Simple psychology.
Your taxi.
- Felix! Come on! - Just a minute.
If the pacifier's lost... Same shape, same colour.
She'll never know the difference.
Simple psychology. If anything comes up, day or night, send me a text.
Ohh, I don't want to leave. Going on a tropical cruise was mum's idea.
Listen, Marlene.
You've been looking after your family by yourself, for two years.
You need a break.
Now, get in that taxi, and do something for yourself.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
You'll behave yourself, right? And listen to Max's parents
and be careful when you reach Montreal?
And make sure to look both ways before crossing the street.
I love you.
And I love you too, mum.
Taxi's waiting for you, Marlene.
Oh! And don't forget the flash cards.
I won't!
If little Mia hasn't spoken her first words
by summer's end, I'm calling a psychologist.
And, if any calls come in about the house,
be sure to take down names, phone numbers, email addresses,
- social media handles... - Marlene! Get out of here.
Mummy loves you both!
- Marlene! - Okay, okay, I'm leaving.
See you soon!
Everything will be fine!
Bye!
Oh no no no no!
Where is the volume control on this kid?
And that takes care of that.
- Thanks Felix. - I'm going to Max's house.
Uh, you'll be back for supper?
Umm, actually, I'm sleeping over.
His parents want to get an early start tomorrow.
Bye little sister.
Be a good girl with Annie.
See you tomorrow.
Have a nice week, Annie.
You too. Don't forget to stay in touch.
Yazoo!
I got one! I got one!
Tom?
If you want to talk, come upstairs.
Well played, Squat.
Tom!
In a rush, as usual.
At my age, a person's happiest when time passes slowly.
That's why my favourite thing to do is sit quietly
and play solitaire.
You should give it a try.
Good news! My mum just left.
That's great. I'm sure it'll do her a world of good.
And you too, I'm guessing.
So, when do we leave?
You know, this is my one thousandth solitaire game of the year.
Ahh, yeah?
Yes, indeed. One thousand.
I'd like the game to be perfect.
It's just that if we're gonna go all the way over there,
and come back without my mum finding out,
we really need to leave as soon as we can.
I've thought it over. And I've decided it's a bad idea.
Bad idea?
What d'you mean?
Too dangerous. The wind off the island is always changing.
The waves are unpredictable.
And when you're struggling against the wind, and waves,
it's the reefs, cloaked in thick fog.
This is the first time in two years that my mother's left the house.
You promised, we'd go to the island, as soon as we had the chance.
As I recall, I said, 'we'll see'.
That's not the same thing as making a promise.
Whenever my dad used to say 'we'll see',
what he really meant was yes.
None of that now.
- What? - That.
When your father went missing,
the Coastguard did all they could to find him.
I should know. I was there to help.
Two years have passed since then.
Two years of vessels, plying these waters.
Seems to me, if there was any chance that your father was still...
If he were out there,
don't you think someone would've spotted him by now?
So, we're not going?
If you don't mind, I'd like to finish my game of solitaire.
So, that's the plan.
I leave from here, at dawn tomorrow,
I arrive there, two days later.
Okay.
- Oww! - Listen up, Max!
- No! - Forget the game for a second.
Make it fast, will you. The mutants are closing in.
Max, this is important.
Once I'm on the island, I'll have three days to find my dad.
Uh huh.
Then, it'll take another three days to get back.
Because the currents will be against me.
That makes eight days in all.
My mother's gone for ten. That's just enough time to make the round trip.
Great. Can I have the controller back now?
Hang on. Then there's our cover story.
Cover story?
My mother and my aunt think I'm going to be in Montreal with your parents.
Yeah, yeah. I remember all that, Felix.
While I'm away,
you've got to make absolutely sure
my aunt doesn't see you. Right?
Right. Anything you say.
Max!
That means you're ab-so-lute-ly
not allowed to leave the house.
Sure thing.
Listen. If my mum finds out I'm not in Montreal,
but that I've actually gone off on a boat to search for my dad...
Then, it's game over for you. I get it.
Now can I have the controller please?
Jump in, Rover.
Don't worry, Rover.
Oh, great! The engine's dead.
Hang on, Rover!
Look out!
Rover!
Roverrr!
Rover! Stay where you are.
We're done for.
Huh?
Hey!
We're saved!
Now we'll never find him.
My little sister will never meet her father.
And my dad will never learn that he has a daughter.
And let's hope your mother never learns
that her son was foolish enough
to venture out in the open ocean in a dinghy no bigger than a bathtub!
What's wrong with young people these days?
Why can't you seem to get it through your heads
that no means no.
It's not so hard to understand.
When a grown-up says no,
that's it! End of story!
Ohh, alright. Listen up my boy.
Tomorrow, we're gonna get in my boat,
and sail out to that confounded island.
We are?
- On two conditions. - Yeah?
First, after we search the place,
that'll be the end of it.
You won't bring up the matter again.
I promise.
And second,
you'll cut that out right now.
Times sure have changed.
When I was your age, a young feller would
never let himself be seen with tears in his eyes.
D'you hear what I'm saying, my boy?
Tom!
I'm ready.
No useless stuff in that knapsack?
No!
Hang on dad. I'm coming!
Settle down, Squark.
Hey! What's gotten into you?
It's just an old barrel.
What on earth is he doing here?
Rover?
He must've followed me.
Oh, sure. He must've followed you.
Let me tell you something.
A cat is useless aboard a sailboat.
So, if your feline friend tumbles in the water,
don't count on me to fish him out.
Not every single thing in life has to be useful, you know.
Well, I guess that explains all the junk you brought.
Life at sea isn't the same as life on shore, Felix.
On land, you can have all the useless stuff you like.
But at sea...
You can only bring along what's necessary.
And who ever heard of a cat that loves bones?
Jack.
Seaweed bean stew.
My specialty.
Give it a try my boy.
D'you think the legends are true?
Is there a hidden treasure on Darkshadow Island?
I used to tell your father about those legends
when I was teaching him how to handle a boat.
He wasn't much older than you, back then.
- But are they true? - They're just old sailor's tales.
You shouldn't set too much store by them.
What about the story of the spider called Morgäa,
who watches over the treasure?
Your father believed it. The day he left, he had more on his mind than fishing.
He was plotting to go to the island and search for the treasure.
When a man's in trouble,
he does things he wouldn't normally do.
What d'you mean... trouble?
Money trouble. Ahh mmm...
I shouldn't be talking about these things.
My dad was worried about money?
When the fish plant closed down, a lot of people lost their livelihoods.
Your father tried to convince your mother
that the plant would re-open some day.
But, as time went by, your mother started arguing
that the family should move to the mainland.
I know.
She's always saying, that as soon as she get's a decent offer on the house,
she'll sell it.
Hey! What's going on?
Rover!
Oh, my poor boy.
I hope you find him, too.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Our beloved leader - Morgäa!
- My fellow Morgäallions... - We love you Morgäa!
- Woo! Morgäa! - Yeah! Morgäa!
Thank you dear friends, thank you.
Since we created Forever City,
we've always been open to newcomers,
as long as they were people of quality,
people like you.
This evening, we welcome a wonderful new resident,
famous multi-billionaire,
Bruce Bagwell!
And his family.
You see, if you turn the wheel like this,
you can change the vessel's course.
- Do you want to try? - Me?
Yes, you. You see anyone else around?
Oh, wow! Awesome!
Now, this shows us how fast the boats going.
In knots.
And this is the fuel guage. It shows us how much we have left.
And this control lever makes us go forward, or backward.
Didn't your dad show you these things?
Nah. Mum didn't want him to.
She thought I was too young.
Uh oh. That's not good.
A boat.
A house.
Parliamentary debate.
Nope. That didn't work.
Maybe you're more spacial than verbal.
Let's see.
Oh, brother.
Hello?
It's me! How're things?
Oh! Just fine.
Any news from Felix?
Ah, no. You?
I called Max's parents several times, but there was no answer.
And wouldn't you know it? No voicemail.
I guess they're busy seeing all the great sites in Montreal.
How's little Mia?
Nothing new to report. Things are great.
Okay. Still, I'd feel happier if Felix got in touch.
Relax, Marlene. Stop worrying.
Right now, they're probably having
a grand time at the amusement park.
It's getting too dangerous.
Go get your life jacket, in the cabin.
- Alright. - I'll take the wheel.
Gotcha.
- Hang on. - I'm trying.
- Thanks! - You can thank me later.
- Go get your life jacket. - Okay.
Don't you worry. Tom will get us out of this.
You alright, my boy?
Never felt better.
No-one is injured?
No. No-one.
What the...
What's going on here?
Are we at the reefs already?
Oh.
Squark! Come here.
I need you in the bow to guide us.
Look, to port.
To starboard.
Oh, no.
Hang on, everyone!
Your cat may've lost his bone, my boy.
But I've lost my entire boat.
And since when do cats howl?
That's one weird pet you have, Felix.
Tom. Straight ahead!
There it is.
Darkshadow Island.
Let's stop here and get some rest.
Oh!
'Tom'. Is that you?
Have you been here before?
Last century. Yes.
Who's M.C.?
Let's set up camp. Then we'll talk.
I was twenty-five years old.
Like your father, I was hoping to find the treasure of Morgäa.
I was a young fool.
I had come to the island with my girlfriend.
Her name was Madelaine.
All I wanted to do was impress her.
But, one morning, she disappeared.
Just like that.
She had vanished into thin air.
You were never able to find her?
I came back three times, with rescue teams.
We looked everywhere. Nothing.
She must've fallen off a cliff into the ocean.
Is that why you didn't want to return to the island?
Hmm.
It's late. Let's get some shut-eye.
I trust you found your latte enjoyable?
Delicious.
Good. Now, let's get down to business.
Our brand new city.
A hundred and fifty square kilometers of paradise.
Oh! It's heaven on earth.
The only heaven is a tax haven.
But moving our people and possessions
there will be complicated.
Let's keep it simple. Bring what we need, and dynamite the rest.
Dynamite it?
There are no problems in life that explosives can't solve.
Still, the move will cost a fortune.
As I told Morgäa, I've reached an age where
I'm ready to invest all my wealth in a...
visionary scheme.
This project of yours definitely fits the bill.
And don't worry about the cost.
Whatever it is, I'll cover it.
Since we're on the subject of money, my dear Bruce,
I was wondering, when can we expect to receive your advance payment?
You'll get the money, after I've transformed.
But, you see, residents are expected to make
their payment before being transformed.
I hope you understand.
When I do a business deal, Morgäa,
it's just like going to a restaurant.
I eat the meal first, then I pay the money.
I hope you understand.
Oh, Rover. Hey! Come back here!
Ha hah! Seventy-two hours straight and Mighty Max is undefeated!
Oh no. No no no no!
Nooooo!
That was the last one. What'll I do?
Bagwell is even tougher than I'd supposed.
Do you really think it's wise to transform him
before he pays us the money?
What choice have I got, Klaus?
Need I remind you of our financial situation,
or the shape this place is in?
But Bagwell is famous for being crooked.
He grew rich using shady connections to acquire prime real estate
then demolishing heritage buildings
and putting up big office towers.
He's also suspected of tax fraud.
Nobody's perfect.
Then there's his bogus cosmetics business.
His company manufactures high priced wrinkle cream
for ten year olds!
Okay! I get it. He's not the world's most honest guy,
but you left out his finest quality.
The man's a billionaire.
Ha hah! Look out aliens! Mighty Max is back!
Max?
What the... You... Y... You're back so soon?
Uhh. Well, the truth is,
I never actually left.
What do you mean you never left?
Where's Felix?
Felix? Oh. He's not here.
He left.
He went to Montreal with your parents while you stayed here?
No, not Montreal. He sailed away in a boat to find his dad.
I na boat? Wh... What boat?
Well, first he tried an inflatable dinghy,
but that was a total washout.
So then he went to the old man's boat.
I mean Tom, who lives in the lighthouse.
No. No no no no!
Rover.
Rover!
I'm seventy years old,
chasing a crazy cat all over a desert island.
Where did I go wrong?
Rover!
Money money money...
Hee!
Rover! Where are you?
Are we gonna stay here all day?
Rover! This isn't funny. Come on out, right now.
In my experience, cats aren't very good at following orders, Felix.
Rover is no ordinary cat.
So I've noticed. Was his father a fox terrier?
Rover! Here boy!
Hey Marlene. It's me.
Can you get back to me as soon as possible?
Everything's great. Nothing to worry about!
Bye!
Oh. Give me a break, kid.
Oh, brother.
Ooh. Ooh ooh ooh! The bunny dish!
Now, where did I put it?
The pacifier!
Where is it?
Oh yes!
Hang on, Mia.
Just a minute.
I'm coming!
The bunny dish!
I said, just a minute!
Morgäa! Morgäa! Morgäa!
Thankyou, dear friends.
Today, we join together to celebrate
the transformation of our newest Morgäallion,
world famous businessman,
Bruce Bagwell!
With his support, our nation will grow,
and prosper.
In time, we'll become the most admired society
that man, or should I say woman,
has ever created, on earth.
Now, let's find our newest jackpot
err, I mean, citizen.
Could he be behind door number one?
- Ohh. - Ohh!
How about door number two?
- Mm mm. - Ohh!
Then he must be behind door number three!
- Ooh! - Uhh. What? Oh!
- Dad! - Oh, Bruce!
I don't like being shut in,
so I decided to make my own entrance.
Rover, I'm serious.
Come out, or else.
The only thing you'll get out of this, is a sore back.
Here you are.
- Felix! Got your cat? - Tom! Come and look.
It's incredible.
What's incredible is how much time we've wasted in this place.
Squark!
Tom.
See that? A secret passage!
For the look of it, it's been here for years.
Where do you think it leads?
Probably nowhere.
I'll bet your cat came to a dead end, which is why he turned back.
Come on, my boy. Let's get out of here.
I'm coming!
- I'm here about the sign. - What sign?
The 'For Sale' sign out front.
- Oh. Sorry, but I don't... - Listen, I'm from the big city,
looking to buy a summer home here in the Magdalen Islands.
Now, like every other city slicker who buys property in the islands,
I plan to leave the place empty for eleven months of the year
and I won't even consider renting it out.
And during my brief summertime visits,
I'll stick to myself, I won't make friends with the neighbours,
and I won't get involved in the community.
Eventually I'll get sick of the place, and
put it up for sale at a ridiculously high price
and trying to squeeze maximum profit out of my investment.
I'm an up-front guy, and rather than waste time haggling,
I'm gonna offer you exactly the amount you're asking for.
Even though we both know it's way more than the house is worth.
So, do we have a deal?
Uhh, want to take a look around?
No need for that. My sole condition is you have to be out of here by Saturday.
That might be tricky. You see, the owner isn't here right now.
There's something you need to know about me.
I run an advertising agency.
A very big advertising agency.
So?
So, I make commercials for this.
And this.
This, this, this, this and this.
And these things are brought to you by me.
Making commercials is stressful. Do you understand?
To keep doing my job, I need a place
where I can totally kick back for three full weeks
every summer. So read my lips, lady.
I want this house.
Sorry. I'm an emotional guy.
Well, my sister will call you back as soon as she can?
I want the house by Saturday. Otherwise, the deal's off.
No, no no no!
And that picture: brought to you by me!
Rover! No! That's someone's leg.
This had better not be a dead end.
After the trouble we've taken to come this far
I'll be very upset if we have to turn back. Ow!
We're getting close.
- Oh no. A dead end. - Shh. Listen.
What the heck's going on here?
It's loose!
Our regular book club meeting will
be in the main concourse...
Something tells me your father's not far away.
I'm coming!
- Hello? - It's me. You left a message.
How're things? Mia's okay?
- Oh, fine. - And Felix? Has he called yet?
Uh. Marlene, I have something to tell you, but
- I don't want you losing your temper. - What is it?
I'm serious. Promise me you won't get upset?
Yeah. Sure.
Say it. 'I promise not to get upset'.
I promise not to get upset. Now what do you have to tell me?
Well, it's like this.
Felix is not really
in Montreal.
What do you mean not really in Montreal?
You... you're getting upset.
What d'you mean 'not really in Montreal'?
That was a cover story.
He's actually gone off on a boat with Old Tom.
He wants to find his father.
Marlene?
Bagwell's really getting on my nerves.
He made me look foolish in front of everyone,
after I went to the trouble of bringing him here.
He ruined my moment of glory.
Can't I ever have a moments peace?
Bruce! What a nice surprise.
- Did you enjoy the ceremony? - I loved it!
You want to know the best thing about being forty instead of seventy?
It's the way people look at you.
Did you see how the crowd greeted the new me?
Oh, yes. I saw.
Ten million. I'm a man who keeps his word.
Ohh!
Bruce. We're going to make a great team.
Time to swing into action.
You have reached the National Emergency Hotline.
For trouble of a general sort, press one.
For a specific problem, press two.
For a mechanical failure, press one.
For a broken item, press two.
For a robbery, press three.
For a disappearance, press four.
For a...
We are currently experiencing higher than normal call volume.
This is driving me nuts!
Noo!
Hello? Coast Guard.
- Hah? - What can I do for you?
My twelve year old nephew went off in a boat and hasn't returned.
Alright. I need you to give me the exact time of departure,
and to describe the boy, and the boat.
It was, err, the day before yesterday,
he's on the small side with red hair and
rosy cheeks. And as for the boat, it's a fishing boat.
There's also a fisherman aboard.
Oh, gee. The fisherman is missing as well?
I guess so? Apparantly he's an elderly man who
lives in the lighthouse at Caple Moon.
Oh, you mean Old Tom?
You can set your mind at ease, ma'am.
They've just gone out fishin'.
No no no no no. They haven't gone out fishing.
They've gone to search for...
With Old Tom, your nephew's in good hands.
No need to worry.
And you can look forward to some tasty fish when they get back.
Hehe. Goodnight!
Construction starts next week.
By the time we arrive at the end of the summer,
everything will be up and running.
Living quarters, administrative offices.
Aren't you worried about all that activity attracting attention?
The place is remote.
Besides. Everyone knows Bagwell is egotistical enough
to build an island home for himself.
Can you beat aces?
Haha! Didn't see that coming, did ya?
It's in the bag.
Ohh, hey! Five hundred!
- No worries, champ. - You just arrived?
- Um, err, yeah, yes. Right. - Yeah, I can tell.
Because you haven't been transformed yet.
Err, buh buh, No! No.
No. Not quite yet.
Don't worry. You won't have to wait long.
They transformed Bruce Bagwell just this morning.
Bruce Bagwell? Bruce Bagwell's here?
Sure. Woah, weren't you at the ceremony?
Ahh, well you see...
Oh, you're gonna love it here, man. Believe me.
This place is awesome,
and Morgäa is wonderful!
Morgäa?
If it weren't for her, I'm not sure I'd even be alive today.
I made my money in construction, man.
- How'd you make yours? - Tom! Tom! Tom!
- Don't interrupt, Felix. - You really need to...
Can't you see I'm talking here?
Tommm...
Why didn't you speak up sooner!
- We'll see you around! - Nice chattin' with ya.
Hurry, Tom!
I'm not twenty anymore!
Huh?
Ah.
Quick, this way.
Slow down, will ya!
Wait a minute.
What on earth are you doing?
This sailor's cap is my dad's.
Oh. Sure. Rover'll sniff him out.
Everyone knows that cats are great at that.
Hey you! Stop right there!
Run, Felix!
Ha ha! Gotcha!
Care to dance?
You can't outsmart me.
Uh oh.
- Oh yes he can! - Yeah!
- I have an idea. - Great!
As long as there's no running involved.
There's no running, but there is a bit of...
Hold still Rover. I can't see.
Phew! It's kind of hot in here.
- Hey! - Hup!
If you two see anything unusual,
let me know immediately. Okay?
Aye aye. Captain. Roger.
Alright. Keep up the good work.
Looks like Rover's caught a scent.
Morgäa. What d'you want now?
Huh?
Rover?
How on earth...?
Tom?
No! What?
Fe... Felix?
Yes! Dad!
Oh, my boy!
Oh, dad.
My son!
I always knew I'd find you again.
How could you possibly have missed them?
There's too many screens around here.
Dimwits!
I'm completely surrounded by
dimwits!
I've put out an Orange Alert.
We won't have no trouble catching the intruders.
'Any'.
What?
We won't have any trouble catching the intruders.
Didn't you ever learn proper grammar?
Dimwits everywhere.
What if those intruders have a connection with our prisoner?
Look! I have a baby sister now.
- A sister? - She's your little girl, Jack.
After you disappeared,
Marlene discovered that she was pregnant.
Ohh! My daughter!
Tom?
M.. M.. Are you Madelaine's daughter?
No. No. Tom, it's me.
Madelaine? How can this be possible?
Everyone calls her Morgäa around here.
- Morgäa? - Morgäa. As in the spider?
- Is this your son? - He's my son.
I see.
You're alive.
And exactly the same as you were forty years ago.
You always were a sweet-talker, Tom.
But I won't deny that I've looked after myself.
What are you doing here?
She's the head of the evil cult.
Now, now. Don't be rude.
I'm the leader of this community.
The residents have come here entirely of their own accord.
They've adopted a peaceful, sincere lifestyle
based on principles of harmony.
There is one person who arrived by accident.
He isn't cooperating, yet.
But I'm sure that one day,
he'll see the light and join our cause.
Cause? What cause?
My turn to ask some questions.
Or, rather, one question.
How did you manage to get into the city?
No need to be shy.
Yes?
What?
No. Can't it wait? I'm in the middle of something.
Fine. I'll be there in a minute.
Sorry, but I'm needed elsewhere.
Guards. Get out.
We'll leave these three to their happy reunion.
What's going on?
Look at this hundred dollar bill.
Yes, it's a hundred dollars.
Watch this demonstration.
What the...
Bagwell paid us with counterfeit bills.
He's been laughing at us since the very start.
Rrrrargh!
There's something else you ought to know about the man.
I think you're going to want to listen to this.
You two should never have come.
I've spent two years trying to escape this city.
Half the time they don't even lock my door.
Once you're here, you can't leave.
But dad, we found a secret passage.
We can use it to get away.
You. You're coming with us.
Here. Your favourite tea.
Piping hot.
Seems like only yesterday we first discovered the island.
We were so much in love.
Do you remember?
You told me about a treasure chest,
hidden somewhere on the island.
Ah. Those were just old sailor's stories.
I was pretending to believe them, because I knew
they fascinated you.
I was pretending to believe them too.
I could see they made you happy.
So, it turns out we were both pretending.
Not about what mattered, Tom.
There was no pretending about that.
The morning after we arrived,
while you were still asleep,
I decided to go exploring, and find us some water.
The path was narrow. I lost my footing.
I tumbled a little ways, and when I landed,
I was in front of a cave.
I felt something sting me.
It was a spider.
A small, silvery spider.
I immediately became aware that something about me was different,
The streak of grey hair that I'd had since the age of seventeen
had returned to its black colour.
That's when I realized, I'd found Morgäa.
The famous spider of the sailor's legends.
And that Morgäa's real treasue
wasn't gold or precious jewels.
It was her venom,
and the immortality that comes with it.
Madelaine? Madelaine!
I could hear you calling,
but I decided not to answer you.
I was thinking of myself, and the treasure.
So I stayed inside the cave, and hid from you.
I betrayed you, Tom.
And I'm not proud of it.
You let me believe you were dead,
so you could keep the treasure to yourself?
I knew that you wouldn't want to keep that fortune.
That you'd hand it over to the authorities,
or else give it away to some charity.
You didn't care about money,
because you'd grown up in a wealthy home.
That's not how it was in my family.
Sometimes you have to choose between hurting another,
and hurting yourself.
Come. Let me show you something.
Morgäa.
Priceless.
Ageless.
With the power to give anyone eternal life.
There. Now you know everything.
Ohh.
Omm.
- Omm. - What're you doing here?
I'm monitoring the house's chakras.
I want to be sure the're in the right alignment.
Ahh... And are they?
Nope! The house needs to be moved further east,
and the door should be on the other side.
Just as I suspected.
Omm.
And don't forget, I need you out of the place by Saturday.
That was when the idea came to me.
To create an enlightened community.
Far from the decadence and selfishness of modern society.
And now Tom, you can help me make that
community stronger than ever.
You and I can finally share the love
that we missed out on all those many years ago.
You say that this community of yours isn't a cult.
Prove it.
Let us leave here.
Alright. We're done here.
Sooner or later you'd tell the world
about what you'd seen in Forever City.
People would come from every corner of the globe
eager for eternal youth.
Our community would be ruined.
I can't let that happen.
Whether you like it or not, you're here.
Forever.
And I do like that, Tom. Very much.
I always believed that fate would reunite us.
Money money money.
Bruce, can you go see what that noise is?
Bruce?
Tom. Have you seen Felix?
No. I was asleep.
Your face.
I've asked you both to come here,
because I always like to meet subjects
before they're transformed.
How old do you want to be, Philbert?
Felix. I'm fine with the age I've got, thankyou.
What I really want is to leave this place.
Yes, well, I'm afraid leaving is out of the question, young man.
Get your hands off me.
I can walk by myself, thankyou.
T... T... Tom?
Very nice.
Why have you done this to me?
Because I knew what a fine forty year-old you'd be.
Oh, you turned out even better than I expected.
Oh my. It's so warm in here.
You had no right to transform me.
You'd rather have white hair, a bent back, and arthritic limbs?
Get out of my way. I want to talk to Morgäa, right now.
What have you done to my husband?
Dad!
It's not very good manners to burst into people's homes
and shout at them.
Manners, schmanners. I demand a clear explanation.
You are in no position to be demanding anything, Lydia.
But since you're here, I might as well show you the unpleasant truth.
You see, your husband was planning to steal our transformation equipment,
and escape from Forever City.
Alone. Leaving you and your daughter behind.
Do you really think I'd be dumb enough
to settle for a boring wife and daughter
when I can go out with a different beautiful woman
every single night for the rest of eternity?
So, is that clear enough for you?
Whoo. It's time to change his diaper.
Tom?
Come here.
It opens all the doors.
We'll escape tonight. When everone's asleep.
No. Even if we manage to get out,
we'll be caught right away.
Others have tried to get away.
You don't want to know what happened to them.
But dad, we can't just stay in this place for the rest of eternity.
Morgäa wants to transform me.
She'll make me an adult. Nearly your age.
I want to have you as a father. Not as a brother.
Besides. If we stay here, mum and Mia
will spend their lives waiting for us.
Hmm.
You're right son. We leave tonight.
Take a bite for auntie Annie.
Oh, Marlene!
Wow! What's with all the rough stuff?
That's no way to treat a senior citizen.
What!
Why are you both staring at me like that?
- Nothing. - Nothing.
What?
What!
Ta-daa!
What's that?
Morgäa's key card.
Dad and I have come up with a plan.
The three of us will escape tonight.
Getting out of here isn't going to be easy.
We need to move fast while everyone is distracted by Bagwell.
Yes, but...err...
You don't want all three of us staying here forever, do you?
I didn't say that, my boy. I didn't say that.
Shh. Be quiet.
This way.
I'm sure it was around here somewhere.
We don't have much time left.
Dad. Tom. I think Rover's found something.
Ha ha ho! He sure is smart.
Woah. That is one strange cat.
Ha hah. Good boy.
Hurry. It won't be long before they notice we're gone.
You know which way to go, right?
- Straight ahead. - Exactly. Okay.
Get moving you two. This is where I say goodbye.
- What? - I'm staying.
What d'you mean, you're staying?
You have a wife and child waiting for you, back home.
I don't have anyone waiting for me.
Besides, your best chance of getting off the island,
is with me staying here, to create a diversion.
You don't have to do that for us.
This place is a prison, Tom.
You can't spend eternity in a prison.
I'm staying, and that's final.
To help pass the time.
Now go on. You don't have a second to lose.
Mm hmm.
This is serious.
The future of our city's at stake.
We need to defend the island, at all cost.
I want you to reinforce security,
in all the strategic zones.
Here, here, and here.
Understood. Each of you will be responsible...
Who let you out of your home?
For reasons I don't understand, my door was unlocked.
When I realised people were awake,
I stepped out to see what was going on.
Are you preparing for the arrival of Bagwell's henchmen?
How do you know about that?
Morgäa asked for my assistance.
So. Here I am.
Tommy!
Felix! Are we there yet?
Settle down, dad.
Usually kids ask parents that question.
Not the other way around.
Okay. Okay.
Bagwell arranged for a helicopter to pick him up.
We must neutralize it.
No-one can escape from here.
Now, go take up your positions all over the island.
- Hang on. Can I say something? - Yes? What is it?
If we spread out to every part of the island, we'll weaken our forces.
I think we should figure out where Bagwell's henchmen
are most likely to land.
Hmm. Yes. Go on.
The best spot to land a helicopter is here, in the north-east sector.
It's the only real clearing on the island.
How do you know they won't land here, instead, in the western sector?
There's a wide beach in the area.
Impossible. They won't want to risk getting caught by the rising tide.
Orange alert! The boy and his father have vanished!
No!
Ohh.
Tom.
Sometimes, you have to choose
between hurting another, and hurting yourself.
Send all personnel to the western sector of the island.
And arrest that man immediately.
Charlotte!
It's your turn to give your father his baby bottle.
I'm sleeping!
Hang on. I don't feel so good.
Let's go, old man.
On second thought...
I feel great!
Keep it down out here. I'm trying to put my husband to sleep.
The sky. It's so beautiful.
Dad! Hurry!
What're you doing here?
I can explain!
- You're in trouble, my friend. - No, no. Wait.
I have something for you. I got it from Captain Roger!
Now, how do I open this thing?
What could it be?
Yes! Oh!
Her birthday. August second.
My birthday.
Once we're a hundred meters out, the current will take us.
Tom!
Felix!
Huh?
Bullseye!
You're gonna need a bigger rock!
- He's mine! - No, he's mine!
No, I saw him first!
Step aside!
Special delivery!
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't permit you two to leave.
If you go back to the outside world,
sooner or later people will learn about us,
then everyone will be fighting for a share of our invention.
We won't say anything.
And I'm supposed to believe that?
Are you going to cross your heart and hope to die?
As for you, Jack. I'm disappointed in you.
Don't you see? Eternal life isn't a blessing.
It's a curse.
A person who doesn't get old can't evolve.
Can't ever gain the wisdom of age.
I want to know how it feels to be fifty,
and sixty, and seventy.
From what I hear, it's overrated.
Tom!
What are you doing with that, you fool!
Give it back to me, this instant!
That's an order!
Of course. As soon as you let those two leave.
Poor old men.
Take a look around you.
You're not really in a position to be giving me orders.
Oh no? What if I lift the lid?
No! Put that on the ground
and step back three meters.
After you let Jack and Felix leave.
Come on, dad. Let's get out of here.
Tom!
No!
Help me catch the spider.
Attack them, you dimwits!
Oh, no! Come back here!
Oh! Where is it?
Let me go!
Get it off me!
Get this spider away from me!
- There! - What? Where?
Oh no! C'mon c'mon c'mon!
Strike one!
Strike two!
Strike three!
You're out!
You see anything unusual now?
Captain Roger?
Where is that spider?
Ooh!
Yes! I see it.
Rover! Stop her!
Look out!
No! No! No!
Nooooo!
I too can... Who are you?
I've failed. My time has come.
But you know, losing is the best way to learn,
and today we've learned a lot.
Sweety pie...
Take that!
Tom! Over here!
Tommy?
Farewell, old friend.
Hurry, Tom!
Hey, I'm not forty anymore, my boy.
Well, the Coastguard rescue vessel set out about an hour ago.
That's terrific.
Oh. There's your buyer.
I warn you, he's kind of intense.
I'm coming.
You the owner of this house?
Ah, yes. Why?
I'm leaving for the city. The big city.
So I need you to sign this contract right away.
You hear what I'm saying? It's now or never.
I'm sorry, but you couldn't have come at a worse time.
You need to sign here, sign here, initial this,
and here, and here. And over here too.
If I were you, I wouldn't insist.
You're going to have to come back, in a few days.
Forget it. The bulldozer's are on their way.
This is gonna happen today.
The house is no longer for sale.
But...ooh.
Oww!
What's that? Stop!
What's that building?
That's the abandoned fish plant.
I'll be right back.
Why d'you wanna take pictures of that old place?
My friend, an artist, doesn't see things the way they are.
But the way they could be.
Daddy!
