Thomas:
This place... it's not what we thought it was. It's not a prison, it's a test. It all started when we were kids. They'd give us these challenges. They were experimenting on us, and then people started disappearing, every month, one after the other, like clockwork.
Newt:
They were sending them up into the maze.
Thomas:
Yeah, but not all of us.
Newt:
What d'you mean?
Thomas:
Guys, I'm one of them. The people who put you here, I worked with them. I-I watched you guys for years. The entire time you've been here, I... I was on the other side of it.
[looking at Teresa]
Thomas:
And so were you.
Teresa:
What?
Thomas:
Teresa, we did this to them.
Teresa:
No. That can't be true.
Thomas:
It is. I saw it.
Teresa:
Why would they send us up if we were with them?
Thomas:
It doesn't matter.
Newt:
He's right. It doesn't matter... any of it... because the people we were before the maze - they don't even exist anymore. These Creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now, and what we do, right now. You went into the maze and you found a way out.
Thomas:
Yeah, but if I hadn't, Alby would still be alive.
Newt:
Maybe. But I know that if he were here, he would be telling you the exact same thing: Pick your ass up and finish what you've started. Because if we do nothing, then that means Alby died for nothing, and I can't have that.
