Newt

Portrayed by ***Thomas Brodie-Sangster***.

**Newt** is the Second-in-Command of the Gladers.

## *The Maze Runner*

Newt is present when Thomas arrives in the Glade. When Thomas starts to run, but trips and falls, Newt laughs at this along with the other Gladers.

Newt is introduced to Thomas by Alby, who explains to Thomas that Newt will be in charge when Alby is not around.

When Gally stops Thomas from walking into the Maze, Newt joins Gally and the other Gladers in stopping Thomas from walking into the Maze.

At night, at the bonfire, Newt tells Thomas about the Maze, the walls, the Grievers, and the Runners. Newt, along with the other Gladers, watch Thomas and Gally wrestle before Thomas knocks Gally down to the ground, but Gally knocks Thomas down to the ground as well, causing him to remember his name.

The next day, Ben, having been stung by a Griever, attacks Thomas, Newt, along with the other Gladers, manage to get Ben off Thomas.

Later, along with the other Gladers, Newt banishes Ben from the Glade.

The next day, Newt, along with the other Gladers, watch Thomas run into the Maze to help Minho and Alby, who have gone into the Maze to retrace Ben's steps when Alby got stung by a Griever.

The next day, Newt is present when Thomas, Minho, and Alby return to the Glade.

In the Council Hall, during the Gathering, Newt asks Gally what they should do with Thomas. Gally replies that Thomas should be punished for going into the Maze to help Minho and Alby.

When Teresa arrives in the Glade, Newt jumps down into the Box, takes a note from her hand, and reads "She's the last one ever."

Newt decides that Thomas will spend one night in the Pit with no food, causing Gally to leave the Council Hall in anger.

Later, while getting rocks thrown at him and the other Gladers by Teresa, who has fled to the top of the tower after waking up, Newt is approached by Thomas, who stops Teresa and goes up to talk to her, while Newt leaves along with the other Gladers.

At night, in the medical hut, Alby starts attacking Thomas, but, along with Jeff and Clint, Newt manages to restrain him, allowing Teresa to inject him in the chest with the serum she had with her when she arrived in the Glade. Newt, Teresa, Jeff, and Clint watch over Alby while Gally escorts Thomas to the Pit.

The next day, when Thomas and Minho return to the Glade, Newt, along with the other Gladers, watch Thomas and Gally argue with each other, when Teresa calls out to them and the Gladers and tells them that Alby is awake.

In the medical hut, along with Teresa, Minho, Gally, and Frypan, Newt watches Alby tell Thomas that he remembers that Thomas worked for WCKD.

At night, during the Grievers' attack on the Glade, Newt, along with Thomas, Teresa, Minho, Frypan, Alby, Chuck, Winston, Jeff, and Clint, hide in the Council Hall from the Grievers. Newt watches Clint get killed by a Griever. Chuck is caught by a Griever, but Alby sacrifices himself to save him.

After the attack, Gally punches Thomas in the face in rage, causing Newt to restrain him along with Minho, Frypan, Winston, and Jeff. When Thomas stabs a Griever stinger into his leg to regain his memories, Newt, along with Teresa, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, Winston, and Jeff, tend to him.

The next day, Newt is told by Thomas along with Teresa, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, Winston, and Jeff that he and Teresa worked for WCKD and created the Maze.

Gally, having taken command, has Teresa tied to a pole and attempts to have Thomas tied to another pole. Newt knocks down a Glader while Thomas fights off two Gladers and Teresa kicks a Glader in the groin, allowing Frypan to cut her free. Newt escapes along with his group of Gladers while Gally stays with his own group of Gladers in the Glade.

Newt helps his group of Gladers fight off the Grievers, but Jeff dies trying to save Minho from a Griever. Newt, along with his group of Gladers, go into the WCKD lab and watch a video left by Ava Paige, who shoots herself at the end of the video.

Newt is about to leave along with his group of Gladers when Gally, having been stung by a Griever, appears with a gun and insists that they will never be free. Gally fires a bullet at Thomas, but Chuck saves Thomas by taking the bullet in the chest, giving Minho a chance to throw a spear at Gally that impales him in the chest, causing him to drop to his knees, drop the gun, and collapse on his right side on the floor. Newt watches Chuck die in Thomas' arms before being taken along with his group of Gladers to a helicopter by a group of masked soldiers.

## *Maze Runner: The Death Cure*

Newt, along with Thomas, Frypan, 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, Newt, along with Frypan, join him.

The next day, Newt, along with Thomas and Frypan, drive into the sewers, where they are attacked by Cranks. Brenda and Jorge arrive to rescue them.

Newt arrives in the Last City along with Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge. While walking to the walls of the Last City along with Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge, Newt notices a crew wearing gas masks following them and alerts Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge to the crew's presence. WCKD aims turrets at the crowd, forcing Newt, along with Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge, to run to avoid being attacked by turrets.

Newt, along with Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge, run into a building, where they encounter the crew, who force Newt into a van along with Frypan and Jorge, and Thomas and Brenda into another van. Newt is driven to a hideout along with Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge.

At the hideout, one of the crew members takes off his mask and reveals himself to be Gally. Thomas, remembering when Gally killed Chuck while stung by a Griever, punches him in the face in rage. Newt rushes over to stop Thomas from beating up Gally in rage. Thomas reminds Newt of when Gally killed Chuck. Newt replies that he remembers that Gally was stung by a Griever and half out of his mind. With that, Thomas gets off Gally. Newt asks Gally how he is still alive, as he, Thomas, and Frypan watched him die. Gally replies that he, Thomas, and Frypan left him to die and that if he and his crew hadn't found them, Brenda, and Jorge, they would be dead. Newt tells Gally that Minho is being held in the WCKD tower and that he, Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge are looking for a way in. Gally offers to help them get into the WCKD tower. Thomas, at first, refuses to follow Gally, but Gally replies that he can get him, Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge through the walls.

While following Gally to Lawrence's hideout along with Thomas, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge, Newt is told by Gally that after he, Thomas, Frypan, 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. Newt is told by Gally that Lawrence's crew is working to destroy WCKD. Newt is warned by Gally not to stare at Lawrence.

Newt, along with Thomas, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge, arrive in Lawrence's hideout. Thomas tells Lawrence that he, Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge need to get into the WCKD tower, as Gally said that he can get them through the walls of the Last City. Lawrence replies that the way into the WCKD tower is impossible. Gally replies that the way into the WCKD tower won't work without Thomas. When Lawrence asks Thomas why he should trust him, Thomas replies that WCKD has something they both want. Lawrence tells Thomas that he, Newt, and Gally can go into the Last City while Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge stay behind. Thomas agrees and shakes Lawrence's hand. As Jorge tells Thomas to be careful going with Newt and Gally into the Last City and Frypan tells Gally to take care of Newt and Thomas, Newt sits down to straighten his shoes, but notices his right hand twitching, making him realize that he has been infected by the Flare.

Newt, along with Thomas and Gally, walk through the tunnels where Gally uses a generator in the tunnels to turn on the light bulbs so he can lead Newt and Thomas through the tunnels.

At night, Newt walks through the Last City along with Thomas and Gally. They hear an announcer telling everyone in the Last City to return home. With that, Newt, along with Thomas and Gally, decide to return to Lawrence's hideout. On the way back to Lawrence's hideout, Newt, along with Thomas and Gally, hide from the WCKD soldiers.

After Newt, along with Thomas and Gally, return to Lawrence's hideout, Gally uses a telescope to look at the WCKD tower and tells Newt and Thomas about its security system. When Thomas asks Gally about the way in that he had mentioned before, Gally convinces Thomas to look through the telescope. Thomas agrees and sees Teresa working in a lab. Gally reveals to Thomas his plan to use Teresa to get into the WCKD tower.

The next day, in Lawrence's hideout, Newt goes over plans along with Thomas, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge to use Teresa to get into the WCKD tower. Thomas is reluctant to use Teresa as their way into the WCKD tower. Newt reacts violently and aggressively to Thomas' reluctance, screaming at him for still having feelings for Teresa. After this, Newt calms down, apologizes, and leaves.

Newt is approached by Thomas on a rooftop and shows him his infection, as shown by the black veins on his right arm. Newt explains that the reason WCKD put him in the Maze was because they wanted to tell the difference between immunes like Thomas and people like himself. Thomas tells Newt that he can cure him. Newt replies that they need to get Minho out of the WCKD tower. Thomas agrees.

The next night, while Thomas and Gally go into the Last City to capture Teresa, Newt, along with Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge, go to an abandoned church. Thomas and Gally take Teresa to the church where Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge are. Newt is told by Teresa along with Thomas, Gally, and Frypan that Minho is in Sub-Level 3 with the Immune children.

After Gally and Frypan get their trackers removed by Teresa, Newt approaches them and gives them WCKD soldier overall uniforms and face-masking helmets.

Disguised with WCKD soldier overall uniforms and face-masking helmets along with Thomas and Gally, Newt goes with them and Teresa to the WCKD tower, while Frypan climbs up a crane, Brenda goes to a parking lot to steal a bus, and Jorge returns to the Right Arm's hideout.

While Gally enters the WCKD tower through the parking garage, Newt, along with Thomas and Teresa, enter the WCKD tower through the main entrance.

Newt, along with Thomas, Teresa, and Gally, arrive in a stairwell. While Thomas talks to Frypan and Brenda on a walkie-talkie and Gally plugs a jamming device into the electrical box, Newt starts coughing due to his infection while leaning over the stairwell railing as Teresa, who is sitting on a step, looks on.

Newt, along with Thomas, Teresa, and Gally, arrive in Sub-Level 3 where Newt shoots the WCKD guards along with Thomas and Gally. While Gally drills into the door of the vault, Newt and Thomas let the Immune children out of their cells.

After learning that Minho has been moved up to the medical wing, Newt goes to find him along with Thomas and Teresa, while Gally takes the children and the vials of serum that he had taken out of the vault to Brenda.

Newt, along with Thomas and Teresa, take the elevator to find Minho. Janson joins them in the elevator and talks to Teresa, but then realizes that Newt is in the elevator along with Thomas, but Newt manages to escape along with Thomas and Teresa. When Thomas asks when the Flare will stop, Teresa replies that it stops when WCKD finds a cure. Thomas replies that there is no cure. Janson holds them at gunpoint, but Teresa manages to let Newt and Thomas go to find Minho while she goes to do a blood test on Thomas' blood.

After reuniting with Minho, Newt runs with him and Thomas to escape from Janson and the WCKD soldiers. Newt manages to lock himself in a room along with Thomas and Minho. Thomas and Minho manage to break the window and they and Newt jump out of the window and into the pool. When they climb out of the pool, four WCKD soldiers appear and order them to surrender, but one of them shoots the other three, takes off his helmet, and reveals himself to be Gally. Minho is shocked to see that Gally is alive, and Gally tells him, Thomas, and Newt that they are nuts.

While hiding from the WCKD soldiers along with Thomas, Minho, and Gally, Newt is asked by Minho how he is feeling. Newt replies that he feels terrible. While Minho and Gally talk to each other, Newt is carried off into the Last City by Thomas.

While going to the berg along with Thomas, Minho, and Gally, Newt sees the walls of the Last City exploding as a result of Lawrence sacrificing himself to destroy them.

While hiding behind garden beds along with Thomas, Minho, and Gally, Newt sees the battle between the WCKD soldiers and Lawrence's crew. Newt, along with Thomas, Minho, and Gally, manage to escape.

Newt is unable to get to the berg due to his infection, prompting Minho and Gally to run to the berg to get the serum from Brenda. Newt gives Thomas his necklace before passing out. While carrying Newt into a train station, Thomas hears Teresa telling him that his blood can cure Newt like it did Brenda. Newt becomes a Crank and attacks Thomas. Thomas fights Newt and stabs him in the chest with a knife. Minho, Gally, Frypan, and Brenda arrive and see Newt's dead body. While Thomas walks off to the WCKD tower, Minho and Frypan kneel at Newt's dead body, with Gally and Brenda watching on.

Sometime later at the Safe Haven, while Newt's name is engraved on the memorial rock by Minho, Thomas discovers that the necklace Newt gave him had a note inside. Thomas reads the note, in which Newt tells him to look after himself and everyone, before thanking Thomas for being his friend.
