Against the orders of The Right Arm resistance group led by Vince, the three leave their camp base to rescue their Immune friend Minho, who is being tested by the organization WCKD for a Flare cure, heading for the `` Last City '' where WCKD 's headquarters is located. They make their way through a tunnel, only to be attacked by Cranks, humans zombified by the Flare. However, they are saved by Brenda and Jorge, who journey with them to the Last City. In WCKD headquarters, the serum created from Minho 's blood is tested on a Flare - infected girl, which fails. The group make it to the edge of the wall of the Last City, which surrounds and protects the entire city from Cranks. Outside the wall, the group walks among Flare - infected people who are rallying in protest to be let into the city. However, WCKD defenses begins shooting at the protesters, who retreat. In the commotion, Thomas, Newt, Frypan, Brenda and Jorge are captured by a group of masked men and thrown into vans where they are taken away. They are taken to a hideout, where one of the masked men is revealed to be Gally, who is revealed to be alive. Gally takes them all to see Lawrence, a rebellion leader for the infected, who grants them permission to enter the Last City through a secret entrance. Gally leads Thomas and Newt through to the city. He then uses a telescope to spy into WCKD. Spotting Teresa, Gally tells Thomas that she can get them in. Thomas manages to get Teresa to follow him through an ally, where Gally captures her. They take her to an abandoned church where she eventually agrees to help them, as they need to use her fingerprint to get inside WCKD headquarters. She also removes the Gladers ' trackers that WCKD put in them before they entered the Maze. Thomas, Newt and Gally successfully escort Teresa inside WCKD and toward the location of the Immunes. Gally looks after the Immune children and goes to find the serum for the rebellion, while Thomas, Newt and Teresa go to find Minho. They are caught and chased by a vengeful Janson, who leads WCKD 's troops, intent on killing Thomas. Teresa lets them escape to find Minho, before running off to do a blood test on Thomas ' blood she got from removing his tracker, after it 's revealed to her that Brenda was cured by Thomas ' blood after she was previously infected. Gally manages to get the serum, and takes the Immune children outside to a bus where Brenda is waiting. While Gally makes his way back into WCKD to find Thomas, Brenda is forced to leave with the Immune children in the bus as WCKD forces close in on them. Thomas and Newt make their way to where Minho is being kept in the medical wing, where they reunite. They are chased by Janson, now going by his codename `` Rat - Man '' before jumping from a window into water to escape. Teresa discovers that Thomas ' blood can cure the Flare. She shares her discovery with WCKD 's leader Ava Paige, both agreeing that they must find Thomas. Brenda and the Immune children are cornered by WCKD authorities. However, Frypan saves them by using a crane to bring the bus outside the wall. Meanwhile, Lawrence rallies his rebels outside the city before blowing up the wall, allowing his rebel allies and the infected people to storm into the Last City and attack. Outside the headquarters, Gally finds Thomas, Minho, and Newt who had apparently been infected. Sending Minho and Gally up ahead, Newt gives Thomas a necklace with a silver cylinder on the end, before passing out. Teresa transmits her voice throughout the city, telling Thomas that his blood can save Newt and all that he needs to do is to return to WCKD. However, Newt regains consciousness, almost as a Crank, and attacks Thomas, begging for him to kill him. With no other option, Thomas is forced to mercifully stab and kill Newt. Thomas makes his way to WCKD and confronts Ava, who stresses that WCKD 's intentions are only for the good of the world. However, she is killed by Rat - Man, who is turning into a Crank. Rat - Man knocks out Thomas and drags him to a medical room where Teresa is, ready to extract his blood. However, he reveals that he, and WCKD, are only truly interested in curing those whom they please, which results in Teresa turning on him. After a fight, Rat - Man is finally killed, allowing Thomas and Teresa to escape to the rooftop where a helicopter piloted by Brenda and Jorge is. Thomas makes it aboard, but, to his horror, Teresa falls to her death as the WCKD building collapses from explosions brought on by Lawrence 's army. Thomas, Minho, Frypan, Gally, Brenda, and Jorge reunite with Vince and the rest of the Immunes and The Right Arm, escaping to a safe haven that was revealed by Ava. There, Thomas discovers that the necklace Newt gave to him had a note concealed in it from him to Thomas. Still traumatized by Teresa 's death, he reads the note, in which Newt tells him to look after himself and everyone, before thanking Thomas for being his friend.
