## *Maze Runner: The Death Cure*

Frypan, along with Thomas, Newt, Brenda, Jorge, Vince, Harriet, and the Right Arm, rescue and take Aris, Sonya, and the Immune children to their new hideout.

At night, when Thomas leaves the hideout to go to the Last City to rescue Minho, Frypan, along with Newt, join him.

The next day, Frypan drives into the sewers along with Thomas and Newt, where the Cranks attack them, Frypan shoots at them with a shotgun, but soon runs out of ammo. Brenda and Jorge arrive and save them from the Cranks. Thomas tells Brenda that he didn't want to put anyone in danger and Frypan thanks Brenda and Jorge for saving them.

Frypan arrives in the Last City along with Thomas, Newt, Brenda, and Jorge. Thomas is scanned at the gate, and the WCKD guards recognize him. Frypan, along with Thomas, Newt, Brenda, and Jorge, run from the turrets and into a safe corner where a crew wearing gas masks rescue them and take them to a hideout, where one of the crew members reveals himself to be Gally. Thomas, remembering when Gally killed Chuck while stung by a Griever, punches him in the face in rage. Frypan joins Newt in stopping Thomas from beating up Gally. When asked by Jorge if he knows Gally, Frypan replies that Gally was an old friend.

While following Gally to Lawrence's hideout along with Thomas, Newt, Brenda, and Jorge, Frypan is told by Gally that after he, Thomas, Newt, and the other Gladers left him behind in the WCKD lab, he was found still lying on the floor with the spear still in his chest by Lawrence's crew, who, after discovering that he is immune to the Flare, pulled the spear out of his chest and took him to the Last City to meet Lawrence, who healed Gally of the spear wound and convinced him to join his crew. Frypan is told by Gally that Lawrence's crew is working to destroy WCKD. Frypan is warned by Gally not to stare at Lawrence.

Frypan, along with Thomas, Newt, Gally, Brenda, and Jorge, arrive in Lawrence's hideout. Lawrence tells Thomas that Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge can stay behind while he, Newt, and Gally go into the Last City. Before Gally climbs down the ladder, Frypan tells him to take care of Thomas and Newt. Gally agrees.

The next day, in Lawrence's hideout, Frypan, along with Thomas, Newt, Gally, Brenda, and Jorge, go over plans to use Teresa to get into WCKD. Thomas is reluctant to use Teresa to get into WCKD, Newt reacts violently and aggressively to Thomas' reluctance, screaming at him for still having feelings for Teresa. Shocked about himself, Newt apologizes and leaves.

At night, while Thomas and Gally go into the Last City to capture Teresa, Frypan, along with with Newt, Brenda, and Jorge, go to an abandoned church. Thomas and Gally take Teresa to the church where Frypan, Newt, Brenda, and Jorge are. Frypan watches on as Gally interrogates Teresa before Thomas convinces her to remove the trackers from their necks.

After getting his and Gally's trackers removed by Teresa, Frypan wipes the back of his neck with a cloth. Gally remarks to Frypan that Teresa enjoyed removing trackers and Frypan agrees with him. Frypan is approached along with Gally by Newt, who gives them WCKD soldier overall uniforms and face-masking helmets.

Frypan climbs up a crane while Thomas, Teresa, Newt, and Gally go to the WCKD tower, Brenda goes to a parking lot to steal a bus, and Jorge returns to the Right Arm's hideout.

Gally takes the Immune children and the vials of serum he had taken out of a vault to Brenda. While Gally goes to find Thomas, Brenda drives the children out of the garage. Brenda is cornered by WCKD soldiers, but uses a flare gun to fire a flare into the sky to signal for Frypan to save her and the Immune children with the crane.

Frypan, along with Brenda, and the Immune children, discover that Lawrence has gone to destroy the walls of the Last City. Jorge and Vince arrive with a berg to pick them up. They fly into the city to get Thomas, Newt, Minho, and Gally.

Frypan is waiting at the berg along with Brenda, Jorge, Vince, and the Immune children when they hear Teresa telling Thomas that his blood can cure Newt like it did Brenda, Minho and Gally arrive, asking where the serum is. Frypan runs to the train station along with Minho, Gally, and Brenda where they see that Thomas has killed Newt. While Thomas walks off to the WCKD tower, Frypan kneels at Newt's dead body along with Minho, with Gally and Brenda watching on.

Frypan returns to the berg along with Minho, Gally, and Brenda where Jorge flies them, Vince, and the Immune children to the top of the WCKD building where Thomas and Teresa are. Thomas is unable to get on the berg due to being shot in the stomach by Janson, but Teresa manages to throw him onto the ramp of the berg, allowing Frypan to pull him onboard with the help of Minho, Gally, Brenda, and Vince. Teresa falls to her death when the WCKD tower collapses. As Jorge flies Frypan, Thomas, Minho, Gally, Brenda, Vince, and the Immune children away from the tower, Frypan helps Gally bandage Thomas' wound along with Minho, Brenda, and Jorge.

Sometime later, Frypan arrives at the Safe Haven along with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Brenda, Jorge, Vince, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, the Right Arm, and the Immune children. Frypan is cooking when he sees Thomas, who has woken up, approaching him. Frypan watches on as Thomas and Minho hug. At night, at the campfire, Frypan, along with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Brenda, Jorge, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, the Right Arm, and the Immune children, listen to Vince give a speech.

Frypan asks everyone at the Safe Haven if they want the food he has cooked. Frypan goes to the memorial rock and engraves Winston's name on it. Frypan is sitting with Minho, Gally, Brenda, Jorge, Vince, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, the Right Arm, and the Immune children at the campfire when Thomas approaches them and sits down with them. The next day, while Frypan is sleeping, Thomas goes to the memorial rock and engraves Teresa's name on it. Thomas walks along the beach, stops walking, looks at the ocean and the ship, takes out the serum, looks at it, and looks out into the distance.
