Go give a treat to Marmalade.
I need to speak with our guest.
But--
I need to speak with our guest in private.
Is he a friend of Grandpa Epi's?
Kind of.
Was he in jail with him?
He seems like he was in jail.
He's not going to stay, right?
No.
Good.
- Mama? - Yes?
What's the thing that guy was talking about?
The perdisco.
It's part of being in our community.
A rite of passage.
Do you get to have a party?
Kind of.
When will I do mine?
I thought you weren't interested.
Yesterday you said we should leave all this behind.
How am I supposed to be interested
when you never tell me anything?
Grab a bag.
We're going to take a trip.
A trip?
Where are we going?
It's a surprise...
...somewhere far away.
Will it be cold?
Bring a jacket just in case.
- Ready? - Yes.
Let's go.
If the hotel has room service can we get shrimp?
Not that way.
Aren't we leaving?
Yes. But we're not taking the truck.
You said you wanted to know about our secret?
This is the secret.
I thought I wasn't ready?
Prove me wrong.
Holy shit!
Watch your step.
What's all this?
Wait here.
Okay.
This of it like an elevator...
Except it doesn't move.
We are the ones that move.
That makes no sense.
This is the elevator.
This is going to seem strange.
What is?
What are you doing?
This is how you pick the destination.
This seems like a dream.
Yes.
It's like I always told you.
That we...
...we are special...
we are not like other people.
We are blessed.
Many, many years ago...
Our family accepted...
a sacred responsibility.
It is our duty...
to take care of...
something...
something incredibly magnificent.
And you are about to see why.
Go ahead.
Come on.
What happens now?
Come.
Mom, I don't know if I want to be here.
Give me your hand.
Don't be afraid.
Are you okay? Yes?
What happened?
We took the elevator!
Come on.
Ready?
Now I know what happens, Mom.
Where does this lead?
You will see.
Where are we?
Newark.
Where's that?
In the United States.
The United States?!
That's impossible!
Now you know why it's a secret.
What a secret!
How long have we had this?
Oh, about 300 years.
300 years?!
Hurry, we're running late.
Who is he?
Don't worry.
He's one of us.
