The Many Place

The Curious.
They say he collects strange tales.
And if you ever hear his whistle, you know something creepy is about to unfold.
A strange thing happens when you're lost.
In the search for a way out, you find many interesting things you weren't looking for.
It's been said that not until we are truly lost do we find out who we really are.
Good morning! Welcome to the Ashgrove! Why is it raining? This is Australia.
It's summer.
It's not supposed to be raining.
Oh, this is North Queensland, sir.
It's a tropical climate.
Summer is the rainy season.
Summer is the rainy season? Yep.
If you wanted sun, you should've come in winter.
Our winter's like our summer.
It's beautiful.
Everything's upside down here.
Hi, we're the Blolesens.
Checking in.
Wonderful.
Let's have a look.
Here we are.
Looks like you'll be with us for four nights.
- Did you have a good journey? - We had a long journey.
Nita.
- "Bo-bo Ski Watten"? - No.
Bo-bo Ski Watten.
- Okay, that's all sorted.
- No.
I'll just get your keys.
You're gonna love it here.
We have an indoor pool Great.
We can get rid of the kids.
The air here smells like nostril breath.
Here are your keys.
I'll just grab Sam to help with your luggage.
Ahem! You don't wanna do that.
Bad things happen to kids who press all the buttons.
The Quinkin will come for you.
Oh! Nah-un-uh! The service lifts only, remember? Not the guest lifts.
Got lost.
That's our boiler man.
You inherit him with the hotel.
He's been here forever.
A little eccentric, but he's harmless.
- Okay.
- Nita! Bye.
Thanks, Sam.
- Let me in! - When I'm done! - My bag is in there.
- Can you wait two minutes? You wait two minutes! Jett, turn it down.
You only went in when I came out to get my hair clip.
I need to get changed for the pool.
But it's both our room.
Jett's got the TV on in here.
- Hey! You just scuffed my favorite shoes.
- You did that.
Let go of the door.
- No, you let go of the door.
- Girls! Stop playing with the doors.
We're not expecting to see the sun shining again till much later in the week.
But warm winds Australia isn't how I thought it'd be.
Well, we haven't left the room yet.
Why isn't Nita dumb and goofy anymore? We used to draw and play and do plays, and now she's just touchy all the time.
She's growing up, Max.
It's normal.
Why do you look sad, too? It'll happen to you one day.
- Happens to everyone.
- No way.
Even him? Maybe not him.
Can I have another sister, please? Nita, do me a favor, and take the kids with you to the pool.
- What? No.
- Yes.
She's meeting that boy from the lobby there.
- Shut up.
- Oh.
You can introduce him to the family.
When we get there, you stay away from me, okay? I'm at one end of the pool, and you're at the other.
Jett! - You put it back upside down.
- It's Hanging Rock.
It's hanging.
Can you both just be cool and not weird for one afternoon? Max, leave it.
That's not supposed to happen.
Okay, everyone needs to stop touching stuff.
- The lights looked pretty.
- Did we just fall up or down? Great.
It's not working.
Thanks, Max.
I'm standing Gunter up for this.
We're taking the stairs.
"Gunter"? What's so important about this boy? Are you going to marry him? Don't get spooky, Max.
This floor is cold.
It feels subterranean.
What's "subter-ra-na-num"? It's a planet.
Humans can't survive on its surface.
No stairs.
Aren't there supposed to be signs? Let's just go back to the lift, see if they've got it going again.
Nita.
I'm sorry about the buttons.
You can pay me back by staying away from me at the pool.
- Where'd the lift go? - I think I was here.
Yep, this is mine.
- Are we lost? - You can't get lost in a hotel.
This way.
Why don't these rooms have numbers? No stairs.
No numbers.
No signs.
No toilet, which I could really use right now.
There's no signal.
Let's just ask for help.
We can use a room phone.
No lock.
Nita I'm scared.
Where are we? - Don't, Nita.
Don't! - Stay there.
- No! - What's happening? - It goes on forever.
- How is that possible? - Are we dead? - No one's dead.
Everyone stop talking.
- I need to think.
- What's thinking gonna do? If we can find the lift, then we can get out.
All we have to do is find the lift.
And we need to stay calm.
The worst thing we can do is lose our heads.
- What was that? - That's not a hotel sound.
I don't think we're in a hotel anymore.
It's the Quinkin, isn't it? It's the Quinkin.
Shh! "The Quinkin will come for you.
" That's what the boiler man said.
Don't cry, Max.
Don't cry.
I can't be calm if she can't be calm.
Breathe, Max.
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
"Bo-bo Ski Watten.
" Bo-bo Ski, come on.
Bo-bo Ski Watten-Tatten! Ah-ah-ah-ah, boom, boom, boom! Bo-bo Ski Watten-Tatten! Ah-ah-ah-ah, boom, boom, boom! Itty-bitty Watten-Tatten! Bo-bo Ski Watten-Tatten! Bo-bo Ski Watten-Tatten! Freeze, please, American cheese! Please don't show your eyes to me! Glad you two are feeling better.
Hurry.
The Quinkin will come for you! The Quinkin will come for you! The Quinkin will come for you! The Quinkin will come for you! We lost it.
We've lost it.
- Max? - Which way'd she go? Max! Max! Max! Max! Nita? Jett? You guys? Nita! Nita? - Max? - Max! - What are we gonna do? - I don't know.
- We have to do something.
- I don't know, Jett.
We can't just stand here.
Listen.
What's that? A party? Sweet meat.
Wait, Max.
If we go back, we can get help.
Mom and Dad will know what to do.
We need a grown-up.
- The walls are different.
- What? They weren't red before! This is it.
Whoa! - You all right? - Sorry, this, uh I think this is - What are you doing in our room? - I think this is our room.
It can't be.
We've been here for a week.
Are you lost? Can I call reception for you? Sorry.
Hi, we're having a bit of a mix-up.
Could you check what room our parents are in, please? - I think they've been moved.
- Sure.
Name? - Uh, Blolesens.
Greta and Dudley.
- Sure.
Ah, we don't have anyone staying here under that name.
- Don't you remember us checking in? - No, I don't.
Help! Nita? Jett? Hello? Anyone? They have to be somewhere.
There's Mum! - Hello? - Mom, where are you? Jett and I are in the lobby, and we've lost Max.
Who's this? It's Nita.
Uh, I think you've got the wrong person.
Mom, I can hear it's you.
You're Greta.
You're married to Dudley, you call him "Duds," and you've got three kids.
Kids? Um This is Greta, but I don't know any of the people that you're talking about.
- Ready to go? - Yeah, yeah.
Um I'm really sorry.
I hope you find who you're looking for.
Okay.
What did she say? You pressed all the buttons, didn't you? - No.
- Yes.
Idiots.
You found the Many Place.
The "Many Place"? You mean the maze floor? It's not a maze.
Those doors aren't as random as they seem.
They're branching paths that lead to alternate realities.
And the reality you've found yourselves in is one in which you were never born.
What did you just say? The Many Place is a reality cluster.
You get lost in a cluster, you can come out in any number of wrong parallel universes.
But how do we get back How do we get back to our reality, then? Well, you you need to retrace your steps through all the right doors.
Find your original lift.
That'll take you back to your true reality.
I don't want to tell you the odds, though.
You need to know.
The Many Places were used by the Ancients as prisons for the Unimaginables.
This one houses a terrible creature.
Its only natural sustenance is the lost on which it feeds.
This is the worst holiday ever.
Come on.
Wake up.
There's another lift.
You've got to be kidding me.
Not ours.
Come on.
You can't cry.
Stop crying! It's pointless.
We're never gonna find Mom and Dad.
Max is lost.
And there could be a billion different lifts leading to a billion different realities, and only one of them is ours.
Get up.
Get up! Why are you shouting? - Are you a kid or a grown-up? - What? You act all high and mighty lately like you aren't a kid anymore! Well, are you or aren't you? You wanted to be grown-up, then act like one.
Get us out of this! Okay.
Well I think we should find Max first.
That's the most important thing.
If it takes us the rest of our lives to find our reality, then all that really matters is we're together when we're doing it.
Well, okay.
First thing we do is increase our odds of finding each other.
- What's this for? - That's in case the creature comes back.
Max! Max! Max! Max? Max! Max! Bet you're glad I nicked all this chocolate now, huh? - You guys? - Max! Max? - Max? - Where are you? I'm around the corner.
Don't come any closer.
You have to do what I say and pinky-swear it.
Max, what's going on? Just pinky swear.
- Pinky swear.
- Okay.
You have to close your eyes and don't open them, no matter what.
No matter what.
Now, no matter what you hear or feel, you don't open them.
Here we come.
"We"? Eyes closed! Max, what is that? It's the Quinkin, Nita.
Don't look at it, or it will eat your eyes.
Shut your eyes, Nita.
Don't look at it, no matter what happens.
Whew Max I thought I'd lost you.
I didn't find you by accident.
The Quinkin led me to you.
- You said it eats eyes.
- That's its natural instincts.
It eats eyes, but the better part of it wants to help us.
- It seems to know the way.
- How? - Take its hand.
- Take its hand? It'll lead you.
I can hear it! I can hear our lift! This is it.
I've got to tell you what happened.
How did you know to close your eyes? The blind old boiler man told me when I was going up in one of the elevators.
What do you mean, the "blind" boiler man? The one who was in the lift when we checked in.
Listen.
- He wasn't blind.
- Yes, he was.
That's how I learned about the beast.
That's how I knew to keep my eyes shut.
I guess he was a boiler man from a different reality who learned the hard way.
You said he was there when we checked in, but that was before we got lost.
You're not wearing your favorite black shoes.
You were wearing them when we came down.
How could I? They got ruined on that trip to Corfu, remember? We never went to Corfu.
Grandma died a few days before we were supposed to leave.
Grandma's not dead.
What? This is the me I was talking about.
The one who told me to keep my eyes shut.
She saved me.
Can we keep her, Daddy? Can we keep her? So you thought yours was the only reality? The only true version of your life? Maybe you think that a hotel far away can't hurt you.
But Many Places exist in every pocket of the world.
So be warned.
Bad things happen to kids who press all the buttons.
