Conflict Over Survival in the Scorch

Thomas: Open this door, Janson!

Janson: You really don't want me to.

Thomas: OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR!

Janson: Listen to me! I'm trying to save your life! The Maze was one thing, but you kids wouldn't last one day out in the Scorch. If the elements don't kill you, the Cranks will. Thomas, you have to believe me. I only want what's best for you.

Thomas: Yeah, lemme guess– WCKD is good?

Urgent Changes in Experiment Protocols

Janson: Good evening, Dr. Paige. Lovely to see you again. Although, I admit, I-I wasn't expecting to hear from you quite so soon.

Dr. Ava Paige: Change in plans, Janson. I'll be arriving a little sooner than expected; first thing tomorrow.

Janson: Oh, we'll be delighted to have you. I think you'll be pleased with the progress we've made. As you can see, early results have been extremely promising. Whatever it is you've been doing to them in there, it's working.

Dr. Ava Paige: Not well enough. I've just received Board approval. I want all of the remaining subjects sedated and prepped for harvest by the time I arrive.

Janson: Dr. Paige, we're going as fast as we can. We are still running tests–

Dr. Ava Paige: Try something faster. Until I can guarantee their security, this is the best plan.

Janson: Ma'am, security is my job; we're on 24-hour lockdown here. I can assure you, the assets are secure.

Dr. Ava Paige: Have you found the Right Arm?

Janson: Not yet. We've tracked them as far as the mountains–

Dr. Ava Paige: So they're still out there. And they've already hit two of our installations. They want these kids as badly as we do. And I cannot– I cannot afford another loss. Not now, when I'm so close to a cure. If you are not up to the task, I will find someone who is.

Janson: That won't be necessary. May I suggest we start with the most recent arrivals–

Dr. Ava Paige: [Janson starts to leave] Just get it done. Janson. I don't want them to feel any pain.

Janson: They won't feel a thing.

Restricted Access and Seeking Connection

Guard #1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on. You weren't called.

Thomas: Yeah, I know. I'm just gonna be a second.

Guard #1: This is a restricted area, kid.

Thomas: [impatient] Look, I just wanna see my friend. Can you let me through?

Guard #1: [jabs his finger into Thomas's chest] Get your ass back in that chair.

Guard #1: [shoves Thomas away] Hey! Back off!

Thomas: [aggressively shoves the guard; Newt and the Gladers run over to hold him back] WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, MAN?! WHAT THE HELL, HUH?! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SEE HER?!

Guard #1: [shoves Thomas again; to the Gladers] Back off! You need to control your friend.

Janson: [running over] What's happening here? Thomas, I thought we could trust each other. You know we're on the same side.

Thomas: Are we?

Janson: [smiles sadistically] Get them to their bunks.

Loyalty and Betrayal in WCKD's Shadow

Janson: Thomas, thank you for seeing me. Sorry for the inconvenience; I was just hoping we could have a few moments to chat in private, away from the others. Well, I won't take up too much of your time. I may only have one question. What do you remember about WCKD? You're not in any trouble; we're just having a conversation. I'm just trying to understand.

Thomas: Understand what?

Janson: Whose side are you on?

Thomas: I remember I used to work for WCKD. I remember that they sent me into the Maze. I remember watching my friends die in front of me. I'm on their side.

The Pursuit of a Cure at Any Cost

Ava Paige: She's right. This is all just a means to an end. You used to understand that, Thomas. No matter what you think of me, I am not a monster. I'm a doctor. I swore an oath to find a cure! No matter the cost. I just need more time.

Betrayal and Manipulation in a Dystopian World

Marcus: WCKD wants all the Immunes they can get. I help provide that for them. So I lure the kids in, they get drunk, they have a good time. And then– later, WCKD comes in– they separate the wheat from the chaff.

The Search for a Cure Explained

Mary: You know, at first, we had the best intentions: Find a cure, save the world. It was clear you kids were the key, because you were immune. But why? Eventually, we found an answer. An enzyme produced by the brains of the immune. Once separated from the bloodstream, it can serve as a powerful agent to slow the spread of the virus.

Jorge's Belief in Safe Haven's Promise

Brenda: ['''Thomas:''' The what?] Trust me, it's not my idea. Jorge seems to think you guys are our ticket to the Safe Haven. You know, paradise. Safe from the sun, free of infection. Supposedly, the Right Arm's been taking kids there for years. Immunes, anyway.

Uncertainty About Escape from the Facility

Aris: I don't know. This is as far as I've ever gotten. The vents don't even go into that section, but once they go through that door– they don't come back out. I don't think anybody ever really leaves this place.

The Impact of Suffering and Memory

Teresa: I remember mine. She was a beautiful woman. Everybody loved her. And before WCKD, she was all I had. When she got sick– I didn't know what to do. I just kept her locked up, hidden. I thought she'd get better. Every night, she'd make these awful sounds, like screaming. And then, one night– she just stopped. She was finally quiet. I went down to her room– and there was blood everywhere. But she was just sat there, calm. She said she was feeling better. The visions were gone. She'd taken care of them. She took her eyes out, Thomas. There are millions of people suffering out there. Millions of stories, just like mine. We can't turn our backs on them. I won't.

Determined to Stop WCKD's Actions

Thomas: Maybe– but I know what I'm supposed to do now. It's not just about Minho, it's about all of us. It's about everyone WCKD's ever taken, everyone they will take. They'll never stop. They'll never stop, so I'm gonna stop them. I'm gonna kill Ava Paige.
