Here you go.
Arco!
Another plant?
What did you think we'd bring back? A dinosaur?
- Did you see any? - A mommy triceratops.
She was huge!
She called out to her babies like that...
Then your sister found the fern. We'd have missed it.
Did you pet them?
Pet them? No way. We were too scared, we hid.
Dad was terrified.
That's what I thought...
Dryopteris.
With this we can grow thousands of plants.
Dad...
Could I come with you next time?
I already told you, you're too young.
But if I come, I could help you.
Yeah, right!
You just want to see dinosaurs.
Ada!
She's right, we don't travel for fun.
But I'm ready, I swear!
No flying until you're 12.
It's the law, that's how it is.
No rush, all in good time.
Are you ready?
Yep, we've got our hats!
I heard there are some strangers out West.
Two horrible bandits, especially the girl.
Some call her Blacky Jones.
With nails as sharp as an old parrot's talons.
All the sheriffs are lookin' for her,
but I'll be the first to find her!
Who do you want now?
Captain Hook!
Captain Hook! Captain Hook!
It's just lightning, Peter.
Don't worry, the house is safe from storms.
He won't listen to anyone right now.
- He does whatever he wants. - That's normal.
You were a terror too at his age!
Right, Mikki?
A real monster, if I remember correctly.
Come on honey, eat your dinner, do it for Mommy!
How was school today?
And your history presentation?
Okay.
Well, Clifford was so nervous, he forgot the whole pharaoh part.
He was shaking like a leaf, like this...
Mikki, what about Peter's vaccines?
His booster is tomorrow. Also, I went shopping for Saturday.
Iris is making a meringue pie with...
Mikki! It was a surprise!
Oopsies, sorry.
Actually, about that...
We can't come home this weekend. We have too much work.
But... what about your birthday?
We'll celebrate it next time.
We'll try to come next weekend.
"I'm youth, I'm joy, Peter answered at a venture.
"This, of course, was nonsense, but it was proof to the unhappy Hook
"that Peter did not know in the least who or what he was,
"which is the very pinnacle of good form..."
And then?
I have to get up early tomorrow.
- Turn off the light soon. - Yes, Mom.
I love you very much.
'Night, my angel.
'Night, Mom.
Everything okay?
I can't sleep.
Make some room for me?
What's wrong?
Nothing, I said. I'm fine.
They would rather be with you than at the office,
but adults can't always do whatever they want.
Do you think wishes really come true,
like in stories?
I don't know, Iris.
But it can't hurt to try.
Hi, Mikki!
Hello, young man!
Late again!
Iris! Clifford's here!
Coming!
You'll be late.
I said I'm coming!
Careful on the road!
Yes, Mikki.
Have a nice day.
Hurry up.
Why do you always drive?
'Cause it's my scooter.
Iris, I said: Be careful on the road!
Your sister is so stubborn.
Isn't that Mr. Deschmaker's car?
You're right, he must be so upset!
Where do you think birds hide when there's a storm?
No idea. I never thought about it.
I used to think that I'd love to be a bird,
be able to fly, be free...
But now I think it must be horrible.
I wish I'd been a cat.
You just walk around and get fed.
Cats have it all figured out.
I don't like cats. They eat birds.
Did you see the fire on the news?
My dad says that it'll destroy everything this time.
He says that every time, Cliff.
We have enough canned food to last months.
Where do you put it?
Well, in the living room. And in my bedroom.
I sleep on the beans.
See you at lunch?
Yep! See you later.
Just like human beings, the universe was born one day,
13.8 billion years ago,
in a flash of light called the Big Bang.
Before that moment, time and space did not exist.
It was 20 micrograms, the weight of a grain of sand.
That's an average of 7 pounds less than when you were born.
Then, like you, it grew,
forming galaxies and our solar system.
Yes, young lady?
I really don't feel well. Could I please step out?
We'll be done in 15 minutes.
I have a headache.
- Go on, then. - Thank you.
Okay, to continue. 4.5 billion years ago...
Are you okay?
Nothing broken?
That was a hard fall.
Who are you?
Be quiet!
You're so loud. Unbelievable!
I found something. It's beeping like crazy.
- Let me see. - It's beeping!
I've got it too! Oh my god!
Let's cover the whole area.
- Dougie, you go North. - Okay.
- And Frankie and I will go South. - What a surprise, I'm on my own.
Stop taking it personally!
You're insane.
You go by yourself and the two of us...
Stop!
What should I do? What should I do?
You're heavy!
Hello!
Are you looking for the treasure too?
The what?
I just saw a rainbow.
Don't you know the legend?
The end of the rainbow, the pot of gold...
Can't you see we're busy, kid?
Don't be so rude, Frankie. Come on!
- Come on! - Sorry.
Little girl,
you haven't seen anything strange in the woods?
No.
Are you sure?
Well...
just the little boy.
The little boy?
Yes.
He ran off that way!
You can't miss him with his weird outfit.
Amazing! He was wearing a suit with a cape?
A cape?
Yes, with lots of colors!
He's looking for the treasure too?
You heard? There's a little boy with a cape.
Hurry up!
- Thank you, miss. - Nice of you.
- Now what? - Here's the plan.
Dougie and I will go North.
Mikki!
I was starting to get worried.
Can you help me please?
He was totally shocked, then boom! He fainted.
We need to treat him quickly or he'll end up with a nasty scar.
Get me the first-aid kit, please.
- Where is it? - In the cabinet next to the sink.
In the bathroom, first drawer.
He's fine, apart from a small cut on his forehead.
Can I have that?
Here we go.
I think he'll need eight stitches.
Gross!
They're not answering.
They must be busy.
Can you set the table, please?
Do you think he's a leprechaun?
I don't think they exist, Iris.
What, then? You saw his cape?
No idea.
What I understand even less
is what you were doing alone in the woods.
I told you! I saw a rainbow.
Iris, I know you're bored in class, but you can't just leave.
A boy falling from the sky isn't important?
Boys don't fall from the sky.
I think he's a wizard. Or maybe an angel.
You can ask him when he wakes up.
We've been going in circles for three hours.
The signal's weaker now, but the machine says it's here.
Your machine's never worked,
Dougie, it's trash!
I give up!
That girl was kind of strange, don't you think?
Let's face it.
We've been wasting our time for 20 years.
Guys?
Look!
What is it?
I don't know, but I don't think it's from here.
Arco!
Arco?
What's going on?
Are you okay?
Do you remember me? From the woods?
What's your name? I'm Iris.
What year is it?
Well...
2075.
My parents are going to kill me!
Where are you from?
My suit! Where is it?
In the machine.
- The what? - The washing machine.
Give it back, now!
Wait here. I'll be right back.
Eight stitches--
Calm down! It won't hurt you.
It's Mikki. It took care of you.
What's your name?
Arco.
Arco what?
Arco Dorell.
You don't exist.
Mikki, he's right here!
You don't exist. You don't exist.
You don't exist. You don't exist...
Mikki, what's gotten into you?
What's going on?
Mikki? Are you there?
- You made it bug out. - Is it dead?
No, robots don't die.
Come on, restart.
It looks dead.
Help me put it on the sofa.
It's heavy...
Yeah, I know, it's an old model.
What kind of robot do you have?
You don't have a robot?
What do you do?
Who cleans up, does the laundry and cooks?
Well... we do.
So, where are you from?
The insurance bots. They shouldn't see you!
Hide in here. And don't move.
- I can't stay here. I need to go! - Okay, I'm coming!
Don't fly away.
Hello, miss.
We had a Nannybot bug report, "Mikki",
serial number 28976.
- Is that correct? - Yes.
It's in the living room.
What happened exactly?
I don't know. It just started talking nonsense.
There are lots of 312 errors due to the storm.
- How long have you had it? - Forever.
Do you think it's serious?
My colleague will do the standard checks.
It should only take a few minutes.
May I?
I think we have a 404.
What's a 404?
Is it serious?
Don't worry, it should be repairable.
How long will it take?
Impossible to say.
They've been overwhelmed since yesterday.
Oh, no.
You understand what they're saying?
They're telling me you're a good person!
They're usually hard on us.
Iris, my diamond. Give it back to me.
What?
There was a diamond on my suit.
I haven't seen anything.
Maybe you lost it when you fell in the woods?
Then let's go back, now!
Okay, but then you tell me where you're from.
I can't.
No problem. Good luck then.
I can't go home without it.
Too bad.
Wait, that's not cool!
Please! Please!
You hear that Peter, he wants to go home.
My parents will be worried.
I'm a little busy. Someone just broke my robot.
Wait!
Fine.
I'll tell you.
Well..
I'm from the future.
I thought there'd only be robots.
That we'd all become machines or something.
- There are still humans? - Of course.
So what's it like? Tell me!
Are there still ice caps? Koalas?
I love koalas! They're so cute!
- I heard they're mean to each other. - Can we go now please?
Okay, okay!
But you can't go out like that.
What are those poles with wires all over them?
They carry electricity to our homes.
You don't have them?
No, our houses are self-sufficient.
- What do you mean? - They make their own energy.
And what are those tiny boxes for?
Guess!
Bird feeders?
Wrong!
They're mailboxes.
Mailboxes?
For receiving messages, but nobody really uses them anymore.
They're only for bad news.
And... your parents?
Are they dead?
Not at all.
They work in town.
- They come back on the weekends. - How lucky!
Mine are always on my back.
My dad is always saying,
"Don't do this, Arco, don't do that, Arco."
You're sure this is where you found me?
Yes!
What does it look like?
It's like a big glass candy.
How big?
About this big.
What's this big diamond for?
For diffracting light. Without it, we can't travel through time.
But... Don't you have a backup?
A plan B?
If it rains and it's sunny at the same time.
But that's very rare.
I'm so dead.
Wait...
I might have an idea.
We'd like to remind our loyal customers
that the limit is 5 identical items
per person.
I repeat, 5 identical items per person maximum.
Iris!
Hi!
You came to stock up too?
You heard? We'll be stuck at home.
Clifford, meet me at the checkout.
Yes, I'm coming!
This is Arco...
my cousin.
- Clifford, a friend from school. - Hi, Arco!
When someone holds out their hand, you shake it.
It's the polite thing to do.
Otherwise you'll look weird, and they'll start to wonder.
And you don't want people to wonder, do you?
Here! Just what we need!
- I've never seen anything like it! - Maybe...
it's just a charm that the girl dropped.
Shut up, Stewie.
You wouldn't know the difference between glass and an emerald.
Am I bothering you? You made me lose my place, idiot!
- What are you doing with that stuff? - Cleaning up, have you ever heard of it?
This place is a total pigsty.
You leave everything lying around.
I'm sick of it!
Just shut up. I'm trying to concentrate!
To concentrate?
Hey guys!
It's the girl from the woods!
Get the Oxybul!
- The what? - The sound amplifier!
Right, the Oxybul!
I found it!
I can't hear anything.
My eardrum!
I'll adjust the volume.
What are they saying?
I can't really hear, the baby is crying.
But I think they're talking about the bottle.
Great. That's a big help.
It's amazing how calm he is with you.
With Mikki, he's so fussy.
Here, your sandwich.
My favorite.
You like it?
I was starving!
Thank you.
It's amazing how different everything is.
What's it like in your time?
Almost everything is underwater.
The sea has risen a lot since the Great Fallow.
The Great Fallow?
When humans decided to move to higher ground, to let the Earth rest.
Now we live in the clouds.
Our houses are on platforms, attached to big pillars.
Like... giant trees.
Wait...
- Kind of like this? - Yes!
But our houses are round.
My sister says that we live in turtle shells.
With big gardens.
There's a lot of static, I can't hear.
- What are they saying? - They're talking about tree houses.
What? Fallow?
Fal-low.
- Fa... what? - Fallow.
Like this?
It looks just like home.
You draw super well.
- Can I keep it? - I'll make you a better one.
I really wish I could draw.
You can express all of your thoughts.
I wish I could talk to birds.
That's easy, anyone can do that!
Can you teach me?
Which bird do you want?
I don't know...
- The blackbird? - That's the hardest one.
The dove, then!
- You're making fun of me. - Not at all!
What did you say then?
I said,
"I like you."
You said something funny.
Really, what?
I don't want to say it, it's too gross!
It's like this.
What are they saying?
Sweet nothings in bird language.
Say something in sparrow!
Okay... I won't even try.
Let's go?
Guys, they're moving! Quick! Pack it up!
Hurry up!
Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!
You need help?
No, it's okay, all good.
I'm hurrying!
Start the van! Start the van!
No, no, forward!
The other side!
No! Over there!
There, I've emptied the house.
I didn't know we had so many pillows!
I'll try it out!
It's okay!
I'm done!
That should do it.
There.
Well, here goes.
It's... in case it works.
We have to say goodbye, then.
Hurry up, let's do it.
Look at his outfit. It's exactly the same!
I told you that girl was strange.
They're so cute.
That's not the point! Get the camera!
Why do I always have to do the dumb stuff?
Seriously guys!
- They'll hear us! - Sorry.
You're ready?
On three, you jump!
One...
Two...
Three!
Arco, are you okay?
That's it!
We have proof! We have proof!
I didn't press record.
What?
- Are you serious? - I'm sorry.
That was crazy! There were rainbow sparks everywhere!
I was too heavy. It'll never work.
It will.
It's like when I saw you in the sky. There was a long trail of sparkles.
You just need more momentum.
Jump off the roof.
Same as before?
Okay!
Are you ready?
Yes, okay!
Okay.
One...
Two...
Three!
It worked!
Arco?
I don't believe it.
You filmed the tree, you filmed the flora.
- You idiot! - You know I can't use the darn thing!
You know what? I give up. I give up!
Auf Wiedersehen. Ciao. I'm throwing in the towel.
It's okay, Peter.
It's okay.
He went home, that's all.
Yes, in the sky.
Just like that...
I wish he'd stayed longer too, you know.
I'm an idiot.
I should have asked him more questions.
- Hello, Blacky Jones! - My Mikki!
I have so much to tell you!
I wish my life had been normal.
At least... we know we're not crazy.
That's not the problem. It's what other people think.
We're a laughing stock.
We're going back to live with Mom and Dad.
I'd like to forget the whole thing.
Arco...
Your cape.
There's not enough light.
This is private property, young man.
Mikki, don't you remember? It's Arco!
Arco what?
What's going on?
You never believe me!
That's no way to talk to your parents.
Oh, you big tattletale!
Don't take it out on Mikki.
I searched everywhere but I can't find him.
It's as if he never existed.
Well, let's call the police. I see no other option.
No. Dad, please! No one can know!
Iris, think about his parents.
They must be worried to death. We have to contact them.
Exactly!
We can't! That's the problem!
Honey, please, explain.
Do you swear you'll believe me?
Of course we will.
Really?
- Swear it. - Please.
You can't contact Arco's parents because...
technically... they don't exist yet.
They're in the future.
That's enough!
Stop making up stories for attention.
You see? You never believe me, I'm sick of it.
And you're never around anyway!
Liars!
- Iris... - Liars, liars, liars!
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's lying.
- You took it a bit far. - No, we're still her parents.
So, what do we do?
We have no choice.
Mikki, call the police.
I'm on it.
We can't stay here, the police will be here soon.
We should sneak in when they're asleep and take the kid.
Then we can ask him all the questions we want.
Are you insane?
We're not criminals!
No, we should go ring the bell now,
say we're from child welfare and ask to talk to the kid.
The robot will open the door, moron.
The ruse won't last two minutes.
Are you okay?
What was that?
I don't believe it!
- They're getting away! - Hurry up! Hurry up!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Where are we going?
To my school!
Stop!
We'll go through the woods. Follow me.
- Shoot, they left the road. - Triple shoot, the police!
Stay calm.
Don't say anything. Trust me. I'll make something up.
Where are you going, gentlemen?
We were called for an emergency.
- We're... doctors. - Your papers, please.
My papers... Of course.
Where did I put them?
Look, I don't have them. It's an emergency!
Dougie.
They're running away.
It's life or death, okay?
Iris,
the police are here.
Iris?
You can't go out!
The bubble plan is underway.
Listen, sir.
Do you want a child's life on your conscience?
Every minute counts.
We're nano-surgeons!
Uh, neurosurgeons.
Nano or neuro? You're a child-killer!
- Why did we crash through? - Because you can't lie!
Of course I can lie!
- And you think we look like doctors? - No!
Yes!
I've never been here at night.
I don't recognize a thing.
What are they saying?
"Run!"
- Mikki, what's going on? - Hello, can you hear us?
Iris ran away with the boy.
I have her GPS location.
I'm on her trail.
She's ten, the fire is everywhere. Hurry up and find her.
- We are coming! - Keep us updated.
We'll never lose them like this!
Why don't you take the wheel then?
Why do you take everything so personally?
To the right, turn to the right!
We lost them.
Guys... look.
- Hurry up, guys. - That's all I ever do!
Don't make a sound.
The mayors of nearby towns have promised to send reinforcements and equipment.
And I'm hearing that...
two ten-year-old children went missing this evening.
Anyone with information please contact the authorities.
If you locate the children, do not intervene yourself.
Call 197 directly.
Good evening, you're an expert...
Anyone there?
Don't worry, they're all in sleep mode!
This is the teachers' lounge.
So...
You really gave us a hard time, kids.
Don't be scared!
We don't want to hurt you.
We just want to know what the rainbows are.
Twenty years ago,
we saw someone just like you, kid.
No one believed us, not even our parents.
The doctors said it was a collective hallucination.
We'd lost hope.
Then you came along. The same suit.
- The same cape. - The same diamond on your forehead.
How do you know that?
That's why you can't go home, isn't it?
Chief, team 12 called, there's a problem.
There are people in the school.
There are two children under my care inside.
I have to go in.
Let it through.
We can't go in.
We'll activate the local team.
Why are you on school property?
Stay where you are.
If they catch you, they'll never let you go home.
We'll have to run fast.
Kids, on three.
One...
Two!
- Cliff, you're here? - I thought you were in trouble.
You're the one who did this?
I thought you were in trouble!
Tell us the truth, kid! How many of you are there?
Does the government know?
Where are you from?
From another planet.
I'm sure you're from another planet!
- You're aliens, aren't you? - That way!
You're aliens, aren't you?
Think, Dougie. If he were an alien, he wouldn't speak
our language!
You're from Atlantis?
- I just come from the future. - The future?
I was right all along!
The future!
Stewie, you owe me a bottle of champagne!
We're heroes, we're heroes!
I have an idea.
We'll hide in the library, no one ever goes there.
Hurry, hurry!
Come on, come on, come on!
- Wait for me. - Hurry up.
Coming!
I knew he wasn't your cousin.
Nothing in 315.
Nothing in 312 either.
Wait, wait.
So you can go to any time?
I'd go to ancient Greece.
Or to the Mayans. That must be great.
The Incas! Sorry, he always gets confused.
- Alright! - Guys, stop.
Arco,
why did you come to our time?
Isn't it the worst of humanity?
Actually...
it was a mistake.
I didn't really choose...
Did I say something wrong?
Iris... here.
Give it to him.
Hey...
- Don't you have a little crush? - No way!
It's alright, Clifford, it's alright.
I once loved a girl, too.
I never had the courage to tell her.
What happened?
Nothing.
When you truly love someone,
no matter how they feel, the most important thing
is making them happy.
Here.
Now you can go home.
Thank you.
They're not so bad, after all.
Hey, hi!
Right here!
So, this time...
it's really over?
What's the matter?
I'm going to miss you.
I hate goodbyes.
What if I came with you?
That's impossible.
Why?
No one should know the future.
Ever!
What's that?
The bubble. It's closing!
Come on, hurry up!
Go, go, go, go!
For The Fallow!
They're never going to give up.
Go on, Arco!
Wait, Dougie.
What do we do now?
Wait!
Arco, wait!
Arco!
I want to come with you.
You can't, Iris.
I'm sorry. You can't.
Arco, please!
I'm begging you. Don't leave me all alone.
Don't leave me.
It's too high.
I won't make it.
I'll give you a boost, Iris.
But Clifford...
Do as I say!
They're in danger!
Let me through.
It's forbidden. The area is locked down
in accordance with the security protocol.
Iris!
- Let me through. - Stop.
Stop!
We're too heavy, I can't steer.
We have to go higher.
Mikki.
What's happening?
I-ris...
memory...
dis...
...appearing.
Mikki, what's happening to you?
Leave...
I don't understand.
Mikki.
Leave...
I'm begging you.
Come back.
Please.
Arco, wake up.
Peter?
We have to get out of here.
Where are we?
No idea.
Wait, I'll help you!
Try to find a way to turn it on.
Look!
An owl!
- What's it doing here? - It found the way out!
Do you feel that? There's some wind.
Hey! We're here!
We're here!
Here! We're here!
We're here!
We're here.
Your cape.
Oh, no!
No, no, no!
I messed up.
All I wanted was to see the dinosaurs.
I don't understand.
Children are not allowed to fly. Not before they turn 12.
But your suit...
the diamond, the cape?
They're my sister's.
You know, just before you came, I made a wish.
Don't tell me, or it'll never come true.
In a way,
it already has.
It's not exactly how I imagined it,
but...
I think that one way or another,
we both made it happen.
Look!
Arco!
My sweet Arco!
Arco!
Arco, my dear.
I'm so happy...
so happy.
Mommy.
Daddy.
What happened?
We looked everywhere for you, for years and years.
We traveled all through time to find you.
But...
you... you...
Don't be sad.
We found you.
Everything's okay.
I am so sorry.
Sorry.
Hello, young lady!
What's your name?
Iris.
And he's Peter.
Say hi, Peter.
Hello, Peter!
Thank you so much.
Without you, we'd never have found our son.
But I don't understand.
The drawings
in the cave.
We must go now.
What will you do? How will you get home?
Don't worry about me.
I'll be okay.
Thank you for everything.
Don't forget me.
Never!
Arco.
You didn't tell me.
What was your wish?
I wanted things to change.
