Parallels Page #2

Did he seem in distress?

Not exactly.

He wanted us to come home.

Was there anything

in the house

that suggested a break-in

or a struggle?

No.

Okay,

here's my problem here.

You don't have anything

that's actionable for me.

There's nothing

obviously illegal going on.

My dad wouldn't

go missing like that.

Look, I can put

his description out,

then have our patrol cars

keep an eye out for him.

Right now,

that's the best I can do.

Okay.

He mentioned a building.

156 Prospect.

STONE:

That's downtown.

It's been empty

for years.

There's nothing there.

Right. Okay.

Well, thank you, Captain Stone.

Appreciate it.

[]

I don't think

you can park here, Ronan.

I think I just did,

law school.

Why are you still here?

Moral support.

[]

What are you doing?

Dad said to meet

at the building, not in it.

Why are you being so weird?

Let's just go inside.

Well, I'll go in.

Oh.

[SIGHS]

Dad!

Shh!

Ugh...

What?

Jesus. What if you wake up

some crazy homeless guy

or raccoons or something?

I'm not afraid

of a homeless guy.

I'm a little afraid

of raccoons.

Don't worry, Beatrix,

I got your back.

That's nice, Harold.

Thanks.

[GROANS]

Either of you guys ever heard

of a Dragon Burger?

[]

HAROLD:

This is weird.

"On my Earth, terrorists

flew planes into the Twin Towers

on October 23rd, 2001."

"Avoid Earth 33,

the contagion has spread."

HAROLD:

"Earth 468 is safe,

locals are friendly.

No weapons."

"Found an Earth where all babies

are born as twins."

"Earths 53, 181, and 726

are all extinct."

RONAN:

"What is Earth 1?"

[THUDDING]

[CREAKING]

RONAN:

What's happening?

[ALARM BLARING]

What the hell is that?

I don't know.

[]

Ronan.

Sh*t.

[BEATRIX GRUNTS]

[GASPING]

Oh. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Where are we?

What's happening?

Oh, my God.

BEATRIX:
Where are we?

HAROLD:

Oh. my God. What is this?

What is this?

Do--? Did we get nuked?

No, no, we'd be dead.

BEATRIX:

No, no, no.

A whole city

can't just disappear like that.

Then where is everybody, huh?

Where is everyone? Where--?

Where is everything?

Where are the buildings? Look.

The buildings are gone!

Everything is gone!

[GASPING]

Our building is fine.

[]

How was that possible?

Our building...

Exactly the same.

Guys.

This happened

a long time ago.

This is old.

It's grown over.

It's...

Hey.

Ronan.

Hey!

B.

Hey! Can you help us?

Stay back!

Can you tell us where we are?

Leave us the hell alone!

Leave us the hell alone!

Whoa.

MAN:
Go. Go.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

I just can't breathe.

I can't breathe very well.

MAN 1:

Stay back. No, no.

MAN 2:

Come on, let's go. All right?

Come on, let's go!
