(heavy thump)

(heavy door opening)

(coughing)

(retching)

(gasps)

Hello?

(coughing)

Hello?!

(panting)

(squealing)

(gasping)

Hey! Hey!

Help me!

(rapid panting)

(whirring stops)

(buzzer blares)

(panting slows)

(whirring)

(laughter)

Okay, go get him.

Day one, Greenie.

Rise and shine.

(laughter)

Kid looks like a slopper to me.

(indistinct chatter, laughter)

I could use some help in the kitchen.

(laughter)

ALL: Oh!

Hey, we got a runner!

Yeah, look at him go.

(panting)

(groans)

Whoa!

Oh, yeah!

(laughter)

Watch it there, Greenie.

Nice!

(whooping)

Take it all in.

Be here a long time!

(whooping continues)

(panting)

Come on back!

(boys whooping)

(grunting)

(lock clicking)

He's all yours!

I got it.

Tie the end.

(goat bleating)

Okay.

What do you think?

Hey.

(gasps)

Hey there, Green Bean.

You're not gonna run again, okay?

Good.

(lock clicking)

(clears throat)

My name is Alby.

Now, can you tell me anything about yourself,

who you are,

where you came from?

Anything at all?

(sniffling) No.

Can you tell me your name?

No.

I, uh... I can't remember anything.

Why can't I remember anything?

It's okay.

(breathing heavily)

Hey, relax.

Relax.

It's normal.

(sighs)

It happens to us all.

You get your name back in a day or two.

It's the one thing

they let us keep.

What is this place?

Let me show you.

(indistinct chatter)

ALBY: We eat here.

We sleep here.

We grow our own food.

We build our own shelter.

Whatever we need, the Box provides.

The rest is up to us.

"The Box"?

Yeah.

They send them once a month with fresh supplies

and a new Greenie.

This month, that's you.

Congratulations.

Sent up? By who, though?

Who put us here?

Yeah, that we don't know.

Hey, you all right, Alby?

(chuckles)

Green Bean, meet Newt.

Hi.

When I'm not around, he's in charge.

Well, it's a good thing you're always around, then.

Listen, that was some dash you made earlier.

You know, for a second,

I thought you had the chops to be a runner,

till you face-planted.

(laughs)

That's great.

Wait, a "runner"?

Newt, do me a favor.

Go find Chuck.

All right.

Thanks.

Look, I'm sorry to rush this.

You came up a little late, and there's a lot to do.

We got something special planned tonight.

Yeah. You'll see.

Hope you're not afraid of heights.

Let's go.

Come on.

This is all we got.

We've worked hard for it.

If you respect this place,

you and I will get along just fine.

What's out there?

We only have three rules.

First, do your part.

No time for any freeloaders.

Second, never harm another Glader.

None of this works unless we have trust.

And most importantly,

never go beyond those walls.

Do you understand me, Greenie?

Hey, Alby!

(chuckles)

ALBY: Hey, Chuck.

Where you been, man?

CHUCK: It's basically the same story

for all of us.

We wake up in the Box.

Alby gives us the tour.

Then here we are.

Don't worry.

You're already doing better than I did.

I clunked my pants three times

before they got me out of the pit.

Three more of those!

Oh, come on.

Here's the last one.

All right, lash those all together, guys.

Dude, where are you going?

I just want to see.

You can look around all you want,

but you better not go out there.

Why not? What's through there?

I don't know. I just know what I'm told.

And we're not supposed to leave.

(sighs)

Hey, Chuck.

New Greenie, huh?

How does it feel to be promoted?

Feels great, Ben.

I thought no one was allowed to leave.

I said we're not allowed to leave.

They're different-- they're runners.

They know more about the maze than anyone.

W-Wait, what?

What?

What? You just said "maze."

What? I-I did?

Yeah.

CHUCK: Where are you going?

What are you doing?

I'm just gonna take a look.

I told you, you can't.

No one leaves, especially not now.

It's not safe.

Okay, all right, I'm not gonna go.

Hey!
