Location :- The Texas Experiment lab
The experiments were happening everywhere. Suddenly, the alarm started to beep. There was chaos everywhere.
Dr. Edward William: Stop him! He's running!
The boy (emotionally): Leave me! Why are you all doing this to me? What have I done to you?
Dr. Henry grabs the boy and stops him from escaping.
This enrages the boy.
He shouts very loudly.
Lights began to flicker . Dr Henry was thrown a great distance away from the boy . A portal opened up and ...
Episode 1 :- The fucking Portal .
- May 1985
Scene: A small room. Four children are playing cards. The sunlight comes into the room, making everything look bright. Mikk, Justin, Hazel, and Jessy sit close together on the floor, with cards spread everywhere on the mat.
Mikk picks up a card and smiles :- "Hey, my card has a bigger number than yours! My hero beats yours and leads us to the salvation"
Hazel laughs and waves her cards :- Her eyes were shining, and there was a spark of victory in them. "Don't be too happy, Mikk. I still have the queen. You have no idea how badly I am going to defeat you . Your teammate should just throw his cards and watch us win."
Justin was sitting next to Mikk. He smiles and bumps Mikk with his elbow. "Mikk, don't worry. Give me your trust. I am the only hope of team . I will show them that boys can win against girls. Just watch the Show .
He throws down his cards with a funny face. "The twist is here! Now comes the legend—Justin!"
Jessy claps her hands and laughs loudly. "Justin, you are finished! There is no way for you to win. You cannot get out of this. Just say you lose and beg us not to laugh at you both."
Mikk lets out a long breath and becomes sad. "Why does this always happen? Why the fuck do we lose every time , buddy ?
Hazel says in a polite voice, "Watch your language, Mikk."
Mikk shakes his head. "Jus, why do we never win? How do they always win?"
Justin acts serious. "There is only one answer. They cheat every time. That's the truth."
Jessy puts her hand on her hip. "Say sorry, or I will slap you so hard you lose all your teeth!"
Mikk teases, "Jessy, why are you upset now if we caught you cheating?"
Hazel says loudly, "Are you both crazy? Maybe you just can't handle losing! It hurts your so called dumb male ego, and because of that , you are making silly excuses."
Justin shakes his head. "Hazel, can you stop saying shit , please?"
Hazel and Jessy both say, "No, you shut up, madboy!"
Mikk tries to calm everyone. "Okay, okay, let's not fight."
Scene: The hallway outside. Mikk's parents, Jasmine and Walter, are in the living room. The television is on, and the news reporter speaks in a strong voice.
"Last night, the USA dropped a bomb on Canada. The president of Canada promises to give a strong answer to the USA."
Jasmine looks worried. She asks, "Walter, do you know why there is a war between the USA and Canada? People are saying it is because the USA joined the fight with Turkey."
Walter puts down his newspaper. "Yes, Jasmine. The USA is in an alliance with Turkey. Canada is in an alliance with France. First, Turkey and France started a war. Then, Canada attacked Turkey. So, the USA decided to join the fight. But, I'm not sure if this is the whole truth."
Jasmine stands up and goes to the kitchen. "Let's not talk about this now. Please call the children for dinner."
Walter gets up and smiles. "Alright, my beautiful boss. I will call them. If being your helper means I get to be with a beautiful woman like you, then I will always want to be your helper ..
Jasmine rolls her eyes at him. "Walter, you are the father of two children. Stop joking and call the kids."
Walter laughs. "Yes, my boss wifee,."
Scene: Back in the playroom.
Walter walks in and calls, "Mikk! Justin! Jessy! Hazel! Dinner is ready! Come fast, before your mom eats all the food."
The children put their cards in a small box and rush to the dining room.
Scene: Dining room. Jasmine is serving chicken for dinner. The room smells good. Everyone is hungry.
Mikk takes a big bite and says, "Hey Dad, did you hear? Some people say the US soldiers and scientists do experiments on people. They try to manipulate people's minds for their own benefit".
Justin nods. "I heard about that too. It sounds terrible! Really selfish."
Hazel rolls her eyes. "Justin, that is stupid. The army does everything for our safety. Why would they care about normal people?"
Jessy agrees. "Yes, Hazel is right. Don't listen to silly stories."
Walter puts down his fork and looks at the children. "Kids, don't believe everything. These are just rumours. No one is doing experiments like that. Now, let's eat dinner and stop talking about scary things."
Jasmine puts more chicken on everyone's plate. "Thank you, Walter. No more scary things at the table."
Walter looks around. "Where is Sharon?"
Mikk whispers, "Maybe she is with one of her boyfriends."
Jasmine hears him and frowns. "Mikk, stop it. Sharon said she is at a friend's house tonight."
Mikk asks, "Boyfriend?"
Jasmine shakes her head. "No, Mikk. It's a girl friend."
Everyone laughs, and the room feels warmer.
After dinner, Mikk's friends put on their shoes and say goodbye. They go home. The house becomes quiet, and everyone goes to bed.
Scene: The next day at school.
Mikk meets Sharon in the school hallway. He smiles and teases, "Did you have fun last night with your boyfriend, Sharon?"
Sharon frowns. "Go away, Mikk. Go to your class."
Scene: In class. The teacher stands in front of the students.
The teacher asks, "Mikkel, did you finish your homework?"
Mikk says, "Yes, teacher. I finished everything."
Teacher says, "Good. Please give your notebook to me."
Mikk looks worried. "Um, I gave my notebook to Jessy yesterday. She needed help, so I let her take it. But , She forgot to bring it back today and that's why I don't have my homework copy with me today."
Jessy stands up and looks angry. "What? When did you give me your notebook, Mikk? Teacher, he is lying. He didn't give me anything. He wants to save himself from punishment."
Mikk says, "I gave it to you last night. Don't you remember , fool?"
Jessy points at him. "Stop telling stories, Mikk, or I am going to kill you , Mikkel !"
The whole class starts talking. Some students support Mikk, and some support Jessy. The noise gets louder.
The teacher points stick at them . "Silence! I don't care who is right. Both of you, go outside the class and raise your hands. After the class is over, I will take you to the principal."
Jessy says loudly, "But I didn't do anything!"
The teacher says, "No more talking. Go out now, or you will be in bigger trouble."
Jessy and Mikk go outside. They look at each other and smile.
Mikk says softly, "Yes! We did it !! Now , we don't have to give the test."
Jessy nods. "I hope she doesn't really take us to the principal's office."
Suddenly, the lights in the hallway start flickering on and off . The air feels cold. A strong wind blows, even though all the windows are closed. Then , a very bright light flashes in their eyes that makes them blind for few seconds . Everything becomes black in front of their eyes .
When they open their eyes, something strange happens. Right in front of them, a round, swirling portal appears in the wall of the school . A boy comes out of the portal. He looks scared and starts running down the school hall very fast.
Mikk and Jessy watch with their mouths open. The boy opens the school door and runs into the playground. Suddenly, an old man comes from behind a big tree. He catches the boy's shoulder with a strong hand.
The old man shouts, "Where do you think you are going, kid?" His voice is rough and scary.
Mikk and Jessy look at each other. They do not know what to do, and their hearts beat fast.
