The Maze Runner Page #3

Synopsis: Awakening in an elevator, remembering nothing of his past, Thomas emerges into a world of about thirty teenage boys, all without past memories, who have learned to survive under their own set of rules in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture and supplies. With a new boy arriving every thirty days, the group has been in "The Glade" for three years, trying to find a way to escape through the Maze that surrounds their living space (patrolled by cyborg monsters named 'Grievers'). They have begun to give up hope when a comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their world begins to change with the boys dividing into two factions: those willing to risk their lives to escape and those wanting to hang onto what they've got and survive.

What the hell happened?

He just attacked me!

Are you okay?

Calm down, Ben.

No. No.

All right,

lift his shirt.

Lift his shirt.

No! No!

No! No!

Please. Please.

He's been stung.

In the middle

of the day?

Help me, please.

Please.

Please, just help.

Put him in the pit.

Everybody, help.

Take him to the pit.

No!

Med-Jack!

Please don't do it!

Calm down, Ben.

Back down, Ben.

Listen to me! Please!

Please, stop, please!

He did this!

Please stop! No!

No, please! Help me!

So what happened to him?

It's called

"The Changing."

It's what happens

when someone gets stung.

Listen.

We haven't been able

to get a clear word

out of Ben

since it happened.

He's not making

any sense.

And it's only

gonna get worse.

The infection

is spreading.

He's dangerous.

What did

he say to you?

He said he saw me...

and that this

was all my fault.

How could this

be my fault?

Get some rest.

Alby?

Yeah.

What's gonna

happen to him?

Just listen

to me. Just, please, listen to me!

Please, Minho!

Alby!

No, please.

Please, don't.

Please, don't do it.

Poles!

Move in!

No, no, no! Please!

No, please!

Please, don't!

I can get better!

Please, just listen to me!

Please, stop, please!

Push him in!

Stop!

I'll get better!

He belongs

to the maze now.

Do you think he might make it?

Ben?

No.

No one survives

a night in the maze.

We just gotta

forget about him.

Thomas.

WOMAN". Wicked is good.

Don't make it easy on them.

Thomas.

Everything is going to change.

THOMAS". Wicked is good.

This is gonna hurt a little.

WOMAN". Wicked is good.

Thomas, you have to choose.

But why would

Alby go into the maze?

I mean,

he's not a runner.

Things

are different now.

Alby went to retrace Ben's

footsteps before sundown.

Are you gonna help?

So he's gonna go back to

where Ben was just stung-

Alby knows

what he's doing...

all right?

He knows better

than any of us.

What does

that mean?

Well, it's like

you have heard, yeah?

Every month, the Box

sends up a new arrival.

But someone had

to be first, right?

Someone had to have spent a

whole month in the Glade, alone.

That was Alby.

I mean,

it can't have been easy.

But when those

other boys started

coming up,

one after the other...

he saw the truth.

And he learned that the

most important thing...

is that we all

have each other.

Because we're all

in this together.

Yeah.

There you go,

Greenie.

They should be back by now.

What happens if

they don't make it?

They're gonna

make it.

What happens

if they don't?

They're gonna

make it.

Come on, guys, can't we

send someone after them?

That's against the rules.

Either they make it

back or they don't.
