00:02:11Elijah.
00:02:15Elijah.
00:02:17It's okay.
00:02:19It's okay. I'm here.
00:02:21I'm here.
00:02:22Lay back down.
00:02:24♪♪
00:02:29Will you say the star names for me?
00:02:32Of course.
00:02:34Pick a constellation.
00:02:36♪♪
00:02:39Draco.
00:02:41♪♪
00:02:43Elton is the eye of the dragon.
00:02:46♪♪
00:02:48Rastaban, Zahed,
00:02:51Neo-Draconis,
00:02:53Grumio.
00:02:56They make up the snout.
00:02:58♪♪
00:03:00And then there's Aldebaran,
00:03:04Edithic,
00:03:07Altais,
00:03:10Theta,
00:03:13Draco.
00:03:15♪♪
00:03:20Thuban, the giant.
00:03:23♪♪
00:03:25Capadraconis.
00:03:27♪♪
00:03:35You know, it's like hearing a song.
00:03:39Dad, when you say the names,
00:03:41do you know every star in the sky?
00:03:45Most of them.
00:03:47At least the ones we can see from here.
00:03:50How?
00:03:51Well, I started out by recognizing
00:03:54the names of the constellations.
00:03:57And then, little by little,
00:03:59I learned each star within them.
00:04:01But there's so many.
00:04:04It's true.
00:04:06It does get tricky.
00:04:12That's why I keep all my names stored in my special palace.
00:04:16You have a palace?
00:04:18I do.
00:04:20Where is it?
00:04:24You're sitting in it right now.
00:04:29See, I want to show you.
00:04:35Let's say you wanted to remember all these fishing lures.
00:04:39You'd start out by picturing a place you know really well,
00:04:43like this cabin.
00:04:47And then you picture placing the lures
00:04:50in specific spots that help you better remember later.
00:04:55So let's say five of diamonds.
00:04:58We put it up here next to the playing cards.
00:05:05Spoon.
00:05:08Maybe we'd put it over here next to my coffee spoon.
00:05:13Little fish lure.
00:05:15In the sink.
00:05:17Naturally, as a fish needs water.
00:05:21Now, let's go outside.
00:05:31I want you to sit up here.
00:05:33Close your eyes.
00:05:35I want you to picture going into the cabin.
00:05:39Open the door.
00:05:42You see the fridge?
00:05:45Now walk into the kitchen.
00:05:51Look around.
00:05:54What do you see?
00:05:56Can you tell me where we put those fishing lures?
00:05:59The five of diamonds.
00:06:02It's on the shelf next to the playing cards.
00:06:07A spoon beside your coffee spoon.
00:06:12A fishing lure in the sink.
00:06:16Good.
00:06:18Now you have a memory palace.
00:06:20Some place you know so well,
00:06:23when you go inside here,
00:06:26you can picture everything you need to remember.
00:06:30But that was only three things.
00:06:33It takes practice.
00:06:35Lots of practice.
00:06:37I have star names stored all over this place.
00:06:46I even have stars out here.
00:06:49Eltonen.
00:06:51The eye of the dragon.
00:06:53And up here is Thuban.
00:06:55The blue giant.
00:06:57A mere 300 light years from Earth.
00:07:03Dad, why do you love the stars so much?
00:07:10Well, because...
00:07:13because they tell us where we are.
00:07:16And we have to know exactly where we are
00:07:20if we're ever going to navigate to where we're going.
00:07:24Where we're going...
00:07:27is fishing.
00:07:32Let's get going.
00:07:34I told your mom I'd have you back by dinner.
00:07:38Mom, when I grow up,
00:08:03can I still live with you?
00:08:07You could.
00:08:09But most kids don't want to live with their parents
00:08:12when they're grown up.
00:08:14But can I still come over for sleepovers?
00:08:18Of course.
00:08:20Or maybe I'd come visit you in your house.
00:08:23But what if you didn't know how to find me?
00:08:26I could call and get directions.
00:08:29But what if you didn't know my phone number?
00:08:32There's nowhere in the world that you could go
00:08:34where I wouldn't know how to find you.
00:08:36For real?
00:08:41For real.
00:08:43It's like there's an invisible string
00:08:46that connects me to you.
00:08:49But how do you know if you can see it?
00:08:52Because I can feel it.
00:08:57Oh!
00:09:07Is he here?
00:09:08I think so.
00:09:14Uncle Jamie!
00:09:18Hey, big man, how's it going?
00:09:20Oh my goodness!
00:09:22You're so huge!
00:09:24How's it going?
00:09:25Good.
00:09:26You still engineering masterpieces?
00:09:29Your mom in the house?
00:09:30Yep.
00:09:31I got you something.
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:37Here.
00:09:39Help me with this.
00:09:41Got it?
00:09:42Yep.
00:09:43All right, let's go.
00:09:51Come on, Bagheera.
00:09:52Come on.
00:09:55Come on, come on.
00:10:00Ah, the food!
00:10:05Can you take them outside, Elijah?
00:10:06Okay, thank you.
00:10:08I'm starving.
00:10:09Yeah, apparently you both are.
00:10:11Sorry.
00:10:14Thanks for cleaning up for me.
00:10:15What's with all the gifts?
00:10:17Oh, I don't know if you noticed,
00:10:18it's somebody's birthday.
00:10:19Is it present time, Mom?
00:10:21Yeah, it is.
00:10:22Let's do this.
00:10:23Present time.
00:10:24Present time.
00:10:25Present time.
00:10:26Present time.
00:10:27Present time.
00:10:28Okay, okay, we can open the presents now, sweetie.
00:10:30Yes.
00:10:32Oh.
00:10:38Okay.
00:10:45Thanks, Mom.
00:10:47I love it.
00:10:54It's a burn book, like we talked about.
00:10:56Thanks, Mom.
00:10:59You gonna be a writer?
00:11:00Maybe a poet like your old man?
00:11:02No, it's just for light and scary things in it.
00:11:05Then we burn the pages.
00:11:09Oh.
00:11:11Here, little man, open this one.
00:11:28Dog Sky Festival?
00:11:31It's the greatest festival in the world.
00:11:33They have all these massive telescopes.
00:11:35You're gonna be able to see stars and constellations
00:11:37and giant nebulas.
00:11:39Meteors?
00:11:40Thousands of them.
00:11:42What is it?
00:11:43The biggest dark sky preserve in the world.
00:11:46Wow.
00:11:49Mom, can I go?
00:11:51We'll see, sweetie.
00:11:57Open this one.
00:12:20It's perfect for the festival.
00:12:22All your favorite constellations.
00:12:28Um, can I put my things in my room now?
00:12:32Oh, sure, sweetheart.
00:12:40What are you doing, Jamie?
00:12:42Nothing.
00:12:43Nothing?
00:12:45Why don't you just throw them off the deep end
00:12:47the minute you get here?
00:12:48You need to freak out.
00:12:49You need to relax.
00:12:50I'm not freaking out.
00:12:51Why did you get him a telescope?
00:12:53Because he loves the stars.
00:12:55No, his dad loved the stars.
00:12:57Maybe he'd like to share in a passion
00:12:59that his father loved if he'd let him.
00:13:02How can you even afford this anyway?
00:13:04What does it matter?
00:13:06Why are you trying to keep this kid in a bubble?
00:13:12Hey, bud, how about I help you to your room with this?
00:13:31Wow.
00:13:33You do all this yourself?
00:13:37Come on, Mila.
00:13:47Tell me about this one.
00:13:50That's my most recent one.
00:13:54It's kind of like a floating space center, you could say.
00:14:00Like a space station?
00:14:02Sort of.
00:14:04It's a space palace.
00:14:06Wow.
00:14:08Your dad would have loved that.
00:14:10Yeah.
00:14:13You like your telescope?
00:14:17You'll have to set it up, you know.
00:14:19Take it in the backyard tonight.
00:14:22It doesn't make my mom mad.
00:14:26No, no.
00:14:28She'll be okay.
00:14:33I almost forgot something.
00:14:37Bagheera and I, we got you one more thing.
00:14:53Your tongue looks like tracos.
00:14:55Yeah, it does.
00:14:58Come on.
00:14:59Let's go take Bagheera for a walk.
00:15:01If I let him poop in your mom's yard, she'll freak out.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:10I mean, I don't think she'd remember it,
00:15:12but when we were babies, when we were kids,
00:15:15I held your mom one time, but I was too weak,
00:15:18and I dropped her.
00:15:20You can tell her I told you that.
00:15:24Bagheera!
00:15:33I'm gonna find the North Star.
00:15:36Yeah, right over there.
00:15:42Yeah.
00:15:52Look, I'm sorry.
00:15:55Why does this have to be so complicated?
00:15:58What the hell's the vent pipe cover lock?
00:16:01You know, you said you wanted to take him on a vacation this summer.
00:16:03I figured I would just...
00:16:04Is this supposed to balance on there?
00:16:06How does that regulate pressure?
00:16:08Can I help?
00:16:10Yeah.
00:16:12Stop lying to me.
00:16:14An urgent loan.
00:16:16I just, I wanted to get him something special for his birthday.
00:16:19You told me you had to get the truck fixed.
00:16:21I do.
00:16:23I still do.
00:16:30Is the altitude here?
00:16:31What?
00:16:32How the hell am I supposed to know
00:16:34if I need 11 pounds of pressure or 14?
00:16:37Just put it on the stove, turn the heat on.
00:16:39No, you don't, Jamie,
00:16:41because if you put it on wrong,
00:16:42you'll blow up the whole house.
00:16:55I just want to help you and Eliza.
00:16:57How?
00:16:59How do you explain to him that his dad died in a fire?
00:17:04How do you teach him to make sense of that?
00:17:06I don't know.
00:17:09Okay, I don't know.
00:17:11But I was buying him a book he's supposed to burn help.
00:17:14That's cathartic.
00:17:16You're unbelievable.
00:17:18Me?
00:17:20Just let me take him on this little adventure.
00:17:22Mr. Vagabond with a truck that still needs to be fixed?
00:17:26You are going to stand there and tell me how to parent?
00:17:29You don't have a clue what you're even talking about.
00:17:32At least do something he actually likes for a change.
00:17:35Wow.
00:17:40Something's burning.
00:17:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:49Look, having kids is not the same thing as having a dog.
00:17:52You can't just feed them random leftovers
00:17:54and tie them up when you feel like going out.
00:17:57I'm going to tie up my dog.
00:18:00Do you guys know where my flashlight is?
00:18:06Hey, bud.
00:18:09She's supposed to be in bed, young man.
00:18:11Come on.
00:18:13Come on!
00:18:40Hey, Mom.
00:18:42Hey, Mom.
00:18:44Hey, Mom.
00:18:46Hey, Mom.
00:18:48Hey, Mom.
00:18:50Hey, Mom.
00:18:52Hey, Mom.
00:18:54Hey, Mom.
00:18:56Hey, Mom.
00:18:58Hey, Mom.
00:19:00Hey, Mom.
00:19:02Hey, Mom.
00:19:04Hey, Mom.
00:19:06Hey, Mom.
00:19:09I was thinking, can we set up my telescope now?
00:19:12Not yet, sweetie.
00:19:13I've got to go get some water, okay?
00:19:15Okay.
00:19:39♪♪
00:19:50♪♪
00:19:58♪♪
00:20:06♪♪
00:20:16♪♪
00:20:26♪♪
00:20:36♪♪
00:20:46♪♪
00:20:57Elijah?
00:21:02Elijah?
00:21:04♪♪
00:21:13Elijah!
00:21:15♪♪
00:21:25♪♪
00:21:32Elijah!
00:21:34♪♪
00:21:37Elijah!
00:21:39♪♪
00:21:40Elijah!
00:21:42Elijah!
00:21:44♪♪
00:21:54♪♪
00:22:07I need to find Mom now.
00:22:09Come on, where's Mom?
00:22:11♪♪
00:22:19♪♪
00:22:27♪♪
00:22:35Elijah!
00:22:37Elijah!
00:22:39Elijah!
00:22:41Elijah!
00:22:43♪♪
00:22:53♪♪
00:23:03♪♪
00:23:13♪♪
00:23:23♪♪
00:23:33♪♪
00:23:43♪♪
00:23:53♪♪
00:24:03♪♪
00:24:13♪♪
00:24:23♪♪
00:24:33♪♪
00:24:43♪♪
00:24:53♪♪
00:25:03♪♪
00:25:13♪♪
00:25:23♪♪
00:25:29What are you?
00:25:31What are you?
00:25:33I'm a boy.
00:25:38Do you live here?
00:25:41Do you?
00:25:43No, I'm just visiting.
00:25:45Me too.
00:25:53Okay.
00:26:11I need to find my mom now.
00:26:13Are you lost?
00:26:18Me too.
00:26:20Come with me,
00:26:22if you'll let me follow you.
00:26:25Come on.
00:26:55♪♪
00:27:05♪♪
00:27:15♪♪
00:27:20Mama!
00:27:38See?
00:27:40Come on!
00:27:42You just go really fast.
00:27:47Wow!
00:27:49Was that fast enough?
00:27:51How'd you move like that?
00:27:54The rocks slowed me down a little, though.
00:27:57I wish I could move like that.
00:28:00Now what?
00:28:02I don't know.
00:28:04Maybe a different game.
00:28:12Come on.
00:28:43What's your mom like?
00:28:49She's bigger than me.
00:28:52Is she like a mountain?
00:28:55My mom read me a story once about a statue
00:28:58whose mom was a mountain.
00:29:00Even though it was a statue, he still had a heart.
00:29:03That's how the mom could always hear the heart beating
00:29:06inside the rock even from when they fell.
00:29:09I'm sure your mother can hear your heart.
00:29:12It's very loud.
00:29:14Can your mother hear yours?
00:29:19I don't think so.
00:29:21She's very far away.
00:29:23Isn't your heart loud, too?
00:29:25Yes, but not that loud.
00:29:27How far away is she?
00:29:29Far.
00:29:31Why'd she leave you here?
00:29:33She didn't. I ran away.
00:29:35Why?
00:29:37Because she's bossy.
00:29:39She must be really scared.
00:29:42Who?
00:29:44Your mom.
00:29:46My mom's bossy, too.
00:29:49Usually when she's really scared of something.
00:29:53I don't think so.
00:29:55I don't think so either.
00:29:58Usually when she's really scared of something.
00:30:03I was going to go home after a while.
00:30:06Why didn't you?
00:30:08I just took a short nap, and when I woke up,
00:30:10everything was different.
00:30:12What do you mean?
00:30:14The patterns were different.
00:30:16But how would you go home?
00:30:18I don't know. How will you?
00:30:20I'd find my mom, or she might find me first.
00:30:22How do you know?
00:30:24Because we're attached.
00:30:26We're together.
00:30:28Don't you love one?
00:30:30I don't think so.
00:30:33Yet all moms have them with their kids.
00:30:36I think it's a rule.
00:30:38Why don't you follow it?
00:30:46I think it's this way.
00:30:51Come on.
00:30:56Okay.
00:31:20Okay.
00:31:26Okay.
00:31:56Okay.
00:32:27I would follow you blind
00:32:31I would follow you silent
00:32:35I would follow you
00:32:37If you didn't know the way
00:32:43I would leave the map
00:32:47I would leave the directions
00:32:52I know that we'd get there someday
00:33:18I'm hungry.
00:33:23No, thanks.
00:33:25Can't you just wash away
00:33:27like you're doing, bring back some food?
00:33:29I have to know where I need to go
00:33:31before I can go there.
00:33:33Where there's food.
00:33:35Where's that?
00:33:36I don't know.
00:33:38Exactly.
00:33:52The hatchet.
00:33:55Come on.
00:34:15All right.
00:34:17That should do it.
00:34:19You're a lifesaver, man.
00:34:21No problem.
00:34:33You sure you don't want to get rid of this, man?
00:34:35Not even a little bit.
00:34:37Deal's a deal, though.
00:34:39I guess so.
00:34:40Take care of her, man.
00:34:42Thanks for the fix-up, though.
00:34:43No problem.
00:34:45Tell your sister I said hi, eh?
00:34:52Where are you?
00:34:54What?
00:34:56You looked far away.
00:34:58No, I didn't.
00:35:00Can I come?
00:35:02It's not like that.
00:35:04It's my special place, only for me.
00:35:07Where?
00:35:09It's my palace.
00:35:11I can't go in there.
00:35:13You can't?
00:35:15No.
00:35:17It's only for me.
00:35:19Where?
00:35:21It's my palace.
00:35:23What kind of palace?
00:35:25It's a memory palace.
00:35:28It's where I keep things that are very special to me,
00:35:30so I won't ever lose them.
00:35:33Whoa.
00:35:34I can't take you there.
00:35:36Why?
00:35:40Well, it's impossible.
00:35:43Maybe I can follow you there.
00:35:45How?
00:35:46We move differently, don't we?
00:35:49Describe it to me.
00:35:51I will follow you.
00:35:53Well, it's beside a big lake.
00:35:58It's very quiet there.
00:36:08Interesting.
00:36:10You're here?
00:36:12This is your palace?
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:16Can we go in?
00:36:18Maybe.
00:36:45Careful!
00:36:47These are special to you?
00:36:49Well, yeah.
00:36:52The ice cream flavors.
00:36:54It's every flavor that I ever tried.
00:36:57My favorites are on the top shelf.
00:37:00That one's pomegranate tracks.
00:37:03What's it like where you live?
00:37:06Different.
00:37:08Different how?
00:37:10I'll show you.
00:37:33You're from space?
00:38:03And you live in that planet?
00:38:07No.
00:38:08It's a star.
00:38:09It's the only one that doesn't move when we look at the sky.
00:38:12I live far on the other side of it.
00:38:15You live on that planet?
00:38:19No.
00:38:20We live here.
00:38:23We?
00:38:25My family and I.
00:38:27You have a family?
00:38:29Yeah.
00:38:30My mom, dad, 53 brothers, and 478 sisters.
00:38:36I'm the youngest.
00:38:39And you live in that?
00:38:42Cloud?
00:38:44Cloud.
00:38:46It's more like an ocean.
00:38:48Lots of things live there.
00:38:50Lots come and go.
00:38:53We live in the place where stars are born.
00:38:56You live in a nebula?
00:39:01I was mad at my mom, so I left the group.
00:39:07And got lost?
00:39:09I'm not lost.
00:39:11Well, I wasn't lost.
00:39:14I knew how to get back.
00:39:16You did?
00:39:20So why don't you go there?
00:39:23So why don't you go there?
00:39:25The star that doesn't move?
00:39:27I took a nap, and when I woke up, it wasn't there anymore.
00:39:30Everything looks different now.
00:39:32The patterns are all different.
00:39:37But won't your mom come and find you?
00:39:40She doesn't know where I am.
00:39:42Can't you just do that thing that you do when you can go so fast that you are just where you want to?
00:39:48I already told you.
00:39:50You have to know where you are to be able to navigate where you are going.
00:39:53You're here.
00:39:55On Earth.
00:39:58And where is Earth in all of space?
00:40:20It's okay.
00:40:25Where's the water?
00:40:50Oh, my God!
00:41:00Oh, my God!
00:41:10Oh, my God!
00:41:40Oh, my God!
00:41:58I'm so sorry.
00:42:00I'm so sorry.
00:42:28I'm so sorry.
00:42:58I'm so sorry.
00:43:16Hey.
00:43:21What's your name?
00:43:27Is that your name?
00:43:30It's hard to say my name with words.
00:43:34My mother named me after the eye of the dragon.
00:43:39The eye of the dragon?
00:43:45From where we live, you can see a giant dragon in the sky.
00:43:49The star that doesn't move is right in the middle of it.
00:43:53My mother says my brother and I shine like the eyes of the dragon.
00:43:57My daddy used to help me sleep by saying the names of the stars.
00:44:02The eye of the dragon was his favorite.
00:44:06Maybe it's the same dragon.
00:44:09Maybe.
00:44:13My dad calls the eye of the dragon Altyn.
00:44:18He also says that he shines the brightest.
00:44:23Altyn.
00:44:25There's a good name for that star.
00:44:28Can I call you Altyn?
00:44:32I like it.
00:44:34Me too.
00:44:37My mother used to tell us stories about the dragon in the sky.
00:44:40It was also her favorite.
00:44:42She would tell us about how it could swallow you up in one bite.
00:44:48In some places we travel it can be dangerous.
00:44:52I guess she wanted us to stay close to her.
00:44:55To be safe.
00:44:58When I left I thought I would just be gone for a moment.
00:45:01To prove that I could manage on my own.
00:45:03I was going to go straight back.
00:45:07But all the patterns look different now.
00:45:10What do you mean the patterns look different?
00:45:13The lines the stars make.
00:45:16The circles they make in the sky.
00:45:19When I look at the stars all I see is dots of light.
00:45:24None of them really move.
00:45:27We must see time very differently.
00:45:30You can't see time.
00:45:33We must experience it differently.
00:45:39I have an idea.
00:46:10Elijah, can you grab me that green feather there?
00:46:16This one's going to bring in the longer.
00:46:28I keep my memories of my daddy.
00:46:32So I can visit him.
00:46:40You know about the stars?
00:46:43My dad did.
00:46:46He loved the stars.
00:46:49I thought maybe we could find some things here that could help you find your way back home.
00:46:59I thought maybe we could find some things here that could help you find your way back home.
00:47:17No! Stop it!
00:47:30Where's the rest of it?
00:47:32What?
00:47:33This map. Only half of it is here.
00:47:41Look what you've done!
00:47:44I won't be able to remember them. They have to stay in their place.
00:47:59Stop it!
00:48:18I don't recognize these stars!
00:48:21Stop it!
00:48:29Where's the rest of the map? Do you remember it?
00:48:33It's a photograph! It's not a map!
00:48:44No! Don't open that door!
00:48:59Don't open it!
00:49:30No!
00:49:50Afternoon.
00:49:54Where are we?
00:49:59Why would you keep a memory of a fire like that?
00:50:03It's not a memory.
00:50:05So why was it in your memory palace?
00:50:07It's where I keep my nightmares.
00:50:09Who would collect nightmares?
00:50:11It's not a collection. They just come and go all the time.
00:50:15Since my dad died, I just wanted them to go away.
00:50:19Since my dad died, I just wanted them to go away.
00:50:23You should keep the door locked.
00:50:25Try to.
00:50:27You could have said something.
00:50:29You just left me there trapped in a nightmare trying to find my way out.
00:50:33I told you not to open the door, but you wouldn't listen.
00:50:40I'm not coming with you anymore.
00:50:43What?
00:50:46Altamon!
00:50:53Don't go.
00:51:17Look, Dad. I can make the stars move.
00:51:22Movement of the stars.
00:51:25That's how the mariners used to find their way at sea.
00:51:29How?
00:51:32They'd use Polaris.
00:51:36That's the only star in the sky that doesn't move.
00:51:40How come all the other stars move, except the North Star?
00:51:45Actually, none of the stars are moving. We are.
00:51:49The Earth's spinning all the time, right?
00:51:52It's that spinning that makes it look like the stars are moving.
00:51:56Polaris just happens to be lined up with the axis of the Earth.
00:52:01And that's why it's the only star in the sky that doesn't move.
00:52:06Is Polaris always going to be there?
00:52:09Yeah, for our lifetime it will be. Come on.
00:52:36I love you.
00:52:52Elijah!
00:52:56Elijah!
00:53:07Altamon! Altamon! I figured it out.
00:53:11I already told you. You can't follow me.
00:53:14I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my nightmares.
00:53:17It doesn't matter.
00:53:20They really frightened me.
00:53:23Go away!
00:53:25Just because you feel bad doesn't mean you should be mean.
00:53:29Opened my door and rocked everything. Now you feel bad.
00:53:34No, I don't.
00:53:38You shouldn't run away from people just because you feel bad about something you did.
00:54:04Mom!
00:54:17Mom, too?
00:54:21Mom?
00:54:24Dad says that the Earth is spinning all the time, right?
00:54:27Yes.
00:54:30That's how the stars look like they're moving, right?
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:35But how does the North Star not move?
00:54:37Come here.
00:54:40Ready?
00:54:43Hold on.
00:54:47Ready? Hold on tight.
00:54:51Now, pretend that I'm the North Star.
00:55:17Altamon?
00:55:20I'm sorry I opened that door.
00:55:23Are you mad?
00:55:26No. It was an accident.
00:55:32Where is your dad now?
00:55:35My mom says that when someone dies, they go up in the stars.
00:55:41Are you coming?
00:55:50Altamon, I know how to find a star that doesn't move.
00:55:55You do?
00:55:58First you find the Big Dipper. It's the biggest star in the universe.
00:56:03Then you find the North Star.
00:56:07First you find the Big Dipper. It's the easiest one to see.
00:56:12See those pointy stars over there? That's the North Star.
00:56:17Doesn't look like it.
00:56:20It's Polaris. It's the only star in the sky that doesn't move.
00:56:24The pattern around it is wrong.
00:56:27What do you mean?
00:56:30Yes, that star does not move.
00:56:34But the pattern of all the other stars moving around it is wrong.
00:56:38Is that how you see stars?
00:56:43I told you we see the movement of time very differently.
00:56:50That star is yellow. When I first came here, the star that didn't move was blue.
00:56:57How long have you been here?
00:57:00I don't know. We seem to experience time differently, remember?
00:57:11You need to follow me.
00:57:17It's okay. I want you to see this, Mommy.
00:57:23It's okay. Just don't open that bedroom door.
00:57:28I promise.
00:57:36But what about the North Star?
00:57:40Polaris will be the North Star for our lifetime.
00:57:44You mean for some people it won't be there?
00:57:48No, it just changes.
00:57:53How will people navigate if there isn't a North Star?
00:57:58There will always be a North Star.
00:58:00But you just said there wasn't one.
00:58:06It's just that the star directly above us changes over thousands of years.
00:58:13Remember the Earth has a wobble to it as it spins?
00:58:18Like your top here.
00:58:304,000 years ago, ancient people saw Thuban as their North Star.
00:58:37Now we see Polaris.
00:58:48Polaris
00:58:59Thuban. It's the big blue star in the middle of the dragon.
00:59:06I can't tell if it's the right star without seeing the pattern.
00:59:10I need a map like that one.
00:59:18Then let's make one.
00:59:24What are you doing? You're moving things. Don't!
00:59:38Who are these?
00:59:41What are these?
00:59:43My mom and I got them for each other whenever we would go out.
00:59:53Elijah!
00:59:55It's okay.
01:00:14It's Thuban, the blue giant.
01:00:17We'll make it the star that doesn't move.
01:00:20All the other stars will move around it, except Thuban.
01:00:36This is the pattern I've been searching for.
01:00:39Thuban was the star that didn't move when I first came.
01:00:43My home is directly behind it.
01:00:46That means you've been here for 4,000 years?
01:00:51I told you I took a nap.
01:00:53That's a really long nap.
01:00:55You know how to find Thuban in the night sky?
01:01:00She's probably right.
01:01:03I bet your dad's in the stars.
01:01:07Probably.
01:01:30I think it's your mom's string.
01:01:34Let's follow it.
01:02:00Is this your mother's string?
01:02:03I think so.
01:02:30Mom!
01:02:33Mom!
01:02:36I can't come on!
01:02:43Mom!
01:02:46Mom!
01:02:49Mom!
01:02:52Mom!
01:02:55Mom!
01:02:59Mom!
01:03:02Mom!
01:03:05Mom!
01:03:08It's all right.
01:03:11This is Eltonen.
01:03:15Eltonen, this is my mom.
01:03:19Hello, Elijah's mom.
01:03:29Eltonen found me when I was lost.
01:03:33Ever since then, we've been trying to find our way back to you.
01:03:38And his mom.
01:03:40His mom?
01:03:42She's from space.
01:03:46At first, we didn't know what to do.
01:03:49Then I had an idea to go visit dad.
01:03:53Elijah, you're scaring me.
01:03:56I know dad isn't here anymore.
01:03:59We want to go visit his house.
01:04:02Elijah, sweetheart, your father is not here anymore.
01:04:06His house isn't anywhere close to here.
01:04:09Elijah, take your mom to your memory palace.
01:04:19Mom, close your eyes.
01:04:22Close your eyes.
01:04:25Try it.
01:04:30Follow me.
01:04:40Mom, this is my memory palace.
01:04:45You have a memory palace?
01:04:48Yes.
01:04:50Using your father's cabin?
01:04:53Are you mad?
01:04:55Mad? No, why would I be mad?
01:04:59Well, it's just every time somebody mentions dad, you get a little bit mad.
01:05:05Oh, Elijah, I'm not mad.
01:05:10Sometimes I just feel really sad.
01:05:15Are you sad right now?
01:05:17No, no.
01:05:19Right now, I am in complete awe.
01:05:23I mean, we're physically standing in front of your memory palace.
01:05:27You want to go inside?
01:05:29I certainly would.
01:05:43Do you have your dinosaurs in order here?
01:05:48That's my triceratops.
01:05:50I put them on the top shelf because...
01:05:52Because it's the top step.
01:05:57You know how memory palaces work?
01:06:00Yeah.
01:06:02Your father loved the concept.
01:06:04He would be amazed to see this.
01:06:07What else do you use it for?
01:06:11To remember dad.
01:06:17To remember dad.
01:06:35You can't come over here, Elijah.
01:06:37No, it's too bubbly.
01:06:40There's bubbles everywhere.
01:06:42You'll be drowned in these bubbles.
01:06:45Help me, Elijah.
01:06:47No, don't help me.
01:06:48Stay there.
01:06:49Stay there.
01:06:50Just...
01:06:51Okay, ready?
01:06:52I'll come to you.
01:06:53Here.
01:06:54I'm coming.
01:06:55I'm coming with bubbles.
01:06:56I'm coming with bubbles.
01:06:58Coming for you.
01:07:00Coming for you.
01:07:14This is beautiful.
01:07:19Eltonen says that memories are bigger when they're shared.
01:07:24Eltonen seems like a pretty smart guy.
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:31This is how Eltonen figured out how to get home.
01:07:35Does he have a spaceship?
01:07:37No, he just moves like light through the sky.
01:07:42So how did you help him find his way home?
01:07:45Well, first we came here looking for space stuff and maps.
01:07:51But mostly I just remembered dad.
01:07:56And you.
01:07:58And the things that you taught me.
01:08:01You are amazing.
01:08:04Can we go home now?
01:08:06Elijah, we're still lost.
01:08:09You don't know the way from the campground?
01:08:12No.
01:08:15But let's go find it.
01:08:18Together.
01:08:24Mom, no!
01:08:26Elijah?
01:08:27Mom, you can't open that door.
01:08:29Elijah, look at me.
01:08:31Breathe.
01:08:32What's happening?
01:08:33That's the nightmare room.
01:08:35What kind of nightmare?
01:08:37Of fires and dad.
01:08:39Hey, breathe.
01:08:41Breathe.
01:08:43You know, we have the power to change our nightmares.
01:08:48We do?
01:08:49Mm-hmm.
01:08:51Look at what you did.
01:08:52Look at what you created with your mind.
01:08:55You can change what's in that room.
01:08:57I'm scared.
01:08:59I know.
01:09:01Here.
01:09:04Come with me.
01:09:06I don't remember this.
01:09:25But I do.
01:09:37You've been here before?
01:09:40Before you were born.
01:09:42Why didn't you tell me?
01:09:54I'm just learning to share my memories, too.
01:09:58I'm just learning to share my memories, too.
01:10:01I'm just learning to share my memories, too.
01:10:04I guess I didn't want to share memories about your dad
01:10:08because I'm also scared.
01:10:13Of what?
01:10:15That I'll be so sad that I won't be able to do anything.
01:10:21And that I won't be a good enough mom for you.
01:10:24But you're the best mom.
01:10:27Your dad and I will climb up this ridge every year
01:10:30and watch the sun rise.
01:10:32That's where me and Elton watched the stars last night.
01:10:37Are you sure it was that spot?
01:10:40I'm positive.
01:10:42That's where he showed me the star trails.
01:10:44Elijah, can you take us back there?
01:10:46I think so.
01:10:51Do you know the way from the campground from here?
01:10:54Yeah, I do.
01:10:56I'm sure I've been going in circles out here.
01:10:58I know where the trail is from here.
01:11:06Are you coming?
01:11:10Are you leaving?
01:11:12No, I'm not leaving.
01:11:15I'm not leaving.
01:11:18Are you leaving now?
01:11:21As soon as it gets dark and I can see my star.
01:11:24Too bad.
01:11:26Too bad.
01:11:28I'll climb up there to wait.
01:11:30There's a good view of the stars from up there.
01:11:34So you won't forget me.
01:11:39I will always remember you.
01:11:43Thank you, Elijah.
01:11:45Soon I'll get to see my mom too.
01:11:49I'm going to miss you.
01:12:08I'm going to miss you too.
01:12:28What does he eat in there?
01:12:31I think he just eats dust.
01:12:36Almost there.
01:12:38Yep.
01:12:40I think he just ran away.
01:12:42Why do you think he ran away?
01:12:44I think he just wanted to show someone.
01:12:47Uncle Jamie!
01:12:50Hello.
01:12:52Hello.
01:12:54How have you been?
01:12:56Good.
01:12:57I'm starving.
01:12:58Perfect.
01:12:59Pancakes, pancakes.
01:13:00Pancakes!
01:13:01I love pancakes!
01:13:04Yeah, totally.
01:13:08Got the truck fixed.
01:13:10Figured I'd come and catch up with you guys.
01:13:15Of course.
01:13:16The tickets for being here.
01:13:20There's nowhere else I'd rather be.
01:13:25You guys want some?
01:13:27Yes, please.
01:13:55Hi, there.
01:13:58Hi.
01:13:59Hi.
01:14:00Hello.
01:14:01Hi.
01:14:02How old are you?
01:14:03I'm ten years old.
01:14:25So good to be back here.
01:14:28A walk down memory lane.
01:14:31You have no idea.
01:14:44Oh!
01:14:45You guys see that?
01:14:47That's a backwards shooting star.
01:14:51Make a wish, buddy.
01:14:53Don't need to.
01:14:56Come on.
01:14:57You guys coming?
01:15:20Yeah.
01:15:21Let's do it.
01:15:50When the wind shakes the house
01:16:17And your voice shakes my ears
01:16:28I still feel safe
01:16:32I still feel sound
01:16:36When all the world it tumbles to the ground
01:16:48I would follow you blind
01:16:52I would follow you silent
01:16:56I would follow you if you didn't know the way
01:17:05I would leave the map
01:17:09I would leave the directions
01:17:13Cause I know that we'd get there someday
01:17:21And I'll let you come with me
01:17:25If you'll let me follow you
01:17:30And I'll let you come with me
01:17:34If you'll let me follow you
01:18:04E-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
01:18:34E-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
01:19:04If you let me follow you
01:19:34I know where
01:19:44I know where
01:19:46I know where
01:19:48Ever I may go
01:19:50Ever I may go
01:19:52I want to run
01:19:54I want to run
01:19:56Far beyond them all
01:19:58Far beyond them all
01:20:00But my feet
01:20:02Oh, oh, oh
01:20:04They won't fall so short
01:20:06They won't fall
01:20:08If you
01:20:10If you
01:20:12Aren't there
01:20:14To follow
01:20:16And I'll let you
01:20:18Come with me
01:20:20If you'll
01:20:22Let me follow you
01:20:24And I'll
01:20:26Let you come
01:20:28If you let me follow...
