Legion

(children laughing and chatting in distance)

* Ooh, ooh *

* Wah *

It's Tuesday, right?

What is?

Today. I'm asking-- is it Tuesday?

This is a conversation about time.

I try never to have conversations about time.

* Ooh, ooh, ooh *

Whoops, my drink is empty.

Hmm.

Oh. Thanks.

*

Is something funny?

: Yes.

We're trapped.

MAN (quietly): A labyrinth.

Groovy.

There is a maze in the desert

carved from sand and rock.

A vast labyrinth of pathways and corridors

a hundred miles long, a thousand miles wide,

full of twists and dead ends.

Picture it-- a puzzle.

You walk, and at the end of this maze

is a prize just waiting to be discovered.

All you have to do is find your way through.

-(rapid clicking) -Can you see the maze?

Its walls and floors, its twists and turns?

Good, because the maze you've created in your mind

is itself the maze.

There is no desert, no rock or sand.

There is only the idea of it.

But it's an idea that will come to dominate

your every waking and sleeping moment.

You're inside the maze now.

You cannot escape.

Welcome to madness.

-(gasps) It's okay.

Help them.

Who?

They're in the maze.

(indistinct announcement over P.A.)

(indistinct announcement continues over P.A.)

(woman speaks indistinctly over P.A.)

David, can you hear me?

Listen, we have you now. You're safe.

Welcome to Division 3.

MAN (over speaker): Reminder:

beware of ideas that are not your own.

-(footsteps approaching) -Reminder: beware of ideas

that are not your own.

(footsteps approaching, door opens)

They found him.

Who?

I hate it when you do that.

I'm practicing.

Who'd they find?

David.

*

(man speaking Japanese over speaker)

His blood pressure is 90/120.

Just like the others.

Is he infected?

I don't think so.

His brain function is consistent with my previous scan.

So why doesn't he respond?

I don't know.

It's possible that his mind is locked

in the astral plane.

(machine whirring, rhythmic breathing)

We've seen it before.

Master says if there is any risk

The telepath is infected, we should terminate.

No.

His mind is strong. He can resist it.

You'll see.

-This is ridiculous. -(air hisses)

Dr. Loudermilk. David.

-(alarm blaring) -David.

David.

(man speaking indistinctly over speaker)

MAN (over speaker): 702.

David, if you can hear me, speak to me.

(man speaking indistinctly over speaker)

David.

Kerry!

Hey, boys.

Retreat.

(alarm stops, weapons whoosh down)

David, if you can hear me, I need you to say something.

Do you have any waffles?

MAN (over P.A.): Announcement four.

Any shift in reality may signal an attack.

If you feel something, say something.

What are we so afraid of?

Everybody here, this whole building--

that's all I can hear.

Where are we, by the way?

What happened to Summerland?

This is Division 3.

Headquarters.

Is there a guy with, like, a...

a basket on his head?

Admiral Fukyama.

He's the... boss.

Our boss.

Hmm.

What do... what does that mean?

We work for Division 3 now.

Hmm? Since when?

Wait. Were there...

women with mustaches, singing?

After the Lazarus Affair,

the divisions were created to study and defend against

what people saw as a new mutant threat.

Division 1 is global command and communications.

Division 2 is pure science--

genetics, technology.

Division 3 is the tip of the spear.

We do the day-to-day boots-on-the-ground engagement.

(whirring, indistinct male voice over P.A.)

(indistinct voice over P.A., rhythmic grunting)

After you left, Syd and Melanie

convinced the leadership that mutants themselves

aren't a threat.

Most of us are... harmless.

We just want to live our lives in peace.

(indistinct male voice over P.A.)

So we joined Division 3

and started working together to fight our real enemies.

Your friend, the Shadow King,

he's been priority one since the day you...

left.

Well... you mean since yesterday.

(indistinct female voice over P.A.)

What's the last thing you remember?

Uh...

Uh...

Well, Farouk escaped

in Oliver's body,

and we were-- Syd and I were on the balcony.

And I could sense him heading south.

South.

And then there was an orb.

-(whirring) No!

-(banging) -Syd!

And it zapped me with, like, a-a-a ray.

: Why are they children?

Under a certain age, we can't be infected.

No one knows why.

Infected? With-with what?

We'll...

get to that.

But you're saying you got no memories at all

after leaving Summerland?

No. Well, I-I remember...

trees, I guess, and...

being on a roof downtown, and...

...dancing?

Then there's flashes...

David, that was...

MAN (over P.A.): New symptom alert.

Unexplained malaise.

We'll talk later.

Okay.

Does he know? Calm down.

I think he knows. He doesn't know.

Then why'd he leave? That was weird.

Are you the magic man?

-(David chuckles) -(indistinct male voice on P.A.)

Hey.

Huh.

You look the same.

Thanks. You look great.

You left me.
