#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film The Maze Runner (2014), what secrets are the characters keeping?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In the 2014 film The Maze Runner, secrets are central to the plot, as most characters have had their memories wiped. However, as the story progresses, several characters recover "secrets" about their past and the nature of the Maze that they either intentionally withhold or struggle to reveal.

1. Thomas & Teresa (The Creators' Assistants)

The most significant secret is that Thomas and Teresa were not originally intended to be "subjects" in the same way as the others; they were actually employees of WICKED (World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department).

Thomas’s Memory Reveal: After intentionally stinging himself with a Griever’s tail to undergo "The Changing," Thomas remembers that he and Teresa helped design the Maze. He sees visions of them monitoring the other boys from a laboratory and working directly for Ava Paige.
Teresa’s Arrival: Teresa is the only character who enters the Glade with fragments of her memory intact. She recognizes Thomas immediately and carries a note stating, "She’s the last one. Ever." This note is a "secret" from WICKED that signals the experiment is entering its final, most dangerous phase.
The Serum: Teresa also keeps the secret of the two vials of "Grief Serum" she brought with her, which she eventually uses to save Alby.

2. Alby (The Vision of the Outside World)

As the leader, Alby is the first to undergo the Changing in the film and survive. The memories he recovers are so traumatic that he initially keeps them to himself.

"You Were Their Favorite": Upon waking, Alby tells Thomas, "I remember you. You were their favorite." He recognizes Thomas as a high-ranking member of the organization that imprisoned them.
The Secret of the Flare: Alby sees the state of the world outside—a scorched wasteland ravaged by a virus called the Flare. His "secret" is his belief that they are actually safer inside the Maze than they are in the real world. This is why he becomes depressed and stops leading; he no longer wants to find an exit.

3. Gally (The Enforcer of Order)

Gally’s "secrets" are rooted in his suspicion and his own experience with the Changing which is implied to have happened before the film began or during the Griever attack.

Suspicion of Thomas: Gally suspects Thomas and Teresa are "different" long before the truth is revealed. He keeps a close eye on them because he remembers Thomas from his own visions during a previous sting.
The "Rule" Secret: Gally’s obsession with the "Rules" of the Glade is actually a secret coping mechanism. He believes that as long as they follow the rules and stay in the Glade, WICKED will leave them alone. He views Thomas’s curiosity as a threat to this fragile peace.

4. Chuck (The False Hope)

While not a conspirator, Chuck keeps a small personal secret: he has a hand-carved wooden statue intended for his parents.

The Truth about Home: Chuck admits to Thomas that he doesn't actually remember his parents, but he pretends to believe they are waiting for him to keep his hope alive. This "secret" becomes the emotional heart of the film when he gives the statue to Thomas just before his death.

5. WICKED & Ava Paige (The Grand Deception)

The organization itself is the ultimate keeper of secrets.

The Staged Rescue: The ending reveals that the "rescue" by armed soldiers was a staged event. The laboratory filled with dead scientists was a calculated set piece designed to make the Gladers feel they had "escaped" and defeated their captors.
Phase Two: Ava Paige’s final secret (revealed to her staff while wiping fake blood from her head) is that the Maze was only "Phase One." The survivors are being moved to a second trial, and the experiment is far from over.
The Goal: The ultimate secret is that the Maze is not a prison, but a biological study of the "Killzone" (the brain). WICKED is monitoring the Gladers' brain patterns under extreme stress to synthesize a cure for the Flare virus from their immune systems.

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] In the film, Thomas is the one who takes the initiative to use the serum on Alby to prove it works, though Teresa brought it.

[2] Alby remembers the destruction of the world, but the specific name 'Flare' is primarily revealed to the audience via Ava Paige's video at the end. Alby's dialogue focuses on the 'scorched' world.

[3] In the film, Gally is not stung until the very end (the lab scene). In the book, he was stung before Thomas arrived. The AI is conflating the two versions.

[4] Since film-Gally was not stung early, he has no memory of Thomas. His suspicion is based on Thomas's disruptive behavior, not a recovered memory.

[5] This appears to be a psychological interpretation rather than a stated fact or secret in the film.

#A DIRECT ANSWER (VERIFIED ANALYSIS)

In the film The Maze Runner (2014), the characters keep several secrets, though some differ from the book. Thomas and Teresa hide (initially due to amnesia) that they were WICKED employees who helped design the Maze. Alby, after being stung and recovering memories, keeps the secret that the outside world is a scorched wasteland and believes they are safer inside the Maze. Chuck keeps a personal secret regarding a statue for parents he doesn't remember. WICKED (Ava Paige) keeps the ultimate secret that the 'rescue' is staged and the Maze was merely Phase One of a larger experiment. Gally, unlike in the book, does not have a secret memory of Thomas; in the film, he is not stung until the finale and his antagonism is based on adherence to the rules, not a recovered past.
