(dramatic music) (Max snaps finger) - The old people had
all of these big ideas, man soarin' around the world, landin' on moons, fightin' (Max wipes book) invisible organisms....no, no. It was their method that led us to this. (book thrown in fire) - Watch it burn, bitch. - We need to cleanse the world of these old ideas. That is the only way
forward to the future. (book is thrown in the fire) (Max chuckles) What are you doin' with these? You collect 'em? - No. - What else you got? - I don't have anything else. (Max chuckles) - No. No, you got more. I know you do. Where you keepin' 'em? - You know somethin', and it's all up in there. She ain't talkin'! Just burn this bitch! (fire roaring) - Ah. (fire crackling) (tense music) Go on. (books thrown in fire) Now, are you sure that you
don't want to reconsider? (Max chuckles) (raging fire, ominous music) (fire crackling gently) (indistinct chattering) (suspenseful music) (Andrea gasping) (Katyn laughing) (Andrea gasping) (Katyn laughing) (Andrea gasping) - What are you doing? - I'm gonna do this bitch
in, she knows too much. - This isn't what we talked about. (Andrea gasping) Don't touch her. (Andrea gasping) - We'll see what Max
has to say about this. Max, wake up! (Andrea gasping) (Andrea coughing) (Andrea gasping) - Okay (gasping). - Come on, lets go, come on. (Andrea screams) - It's my leg, I can't walk. - Take this, come on. Here, it's okay, okay? (Andrea gasping) (horror music) (birds chirping) (Andrea groans in pain) (ominous music) (Andrea screams) You're not gonna get far on that. (Andrea groans) But if you're gonna give it a try, at least have something to eat. (Andrea panting) - What do you want with me? - I didn't want you to get hurt. - Do you want me to
thank you for saving me? Is that it? - No, I... I didn't think it would go that far. - You're all crazy! - It's the old people. Look what they did to our world. They warned us. They said there are only
things that God should know. It's not man's place to
release the supernatural. (Andrea chuckles) - The supernatural? - They had it since the 40's. It's called the dark power. - So you just burn every book, cause you're too afraid
to think for yourself? Why don't you try reading one? (ominous music) Do you even know how to read? - My mother read to me. (Andrea screams) I know. (Andrea gasping) How's that? - It's good. - How about here? - Good. - And here? (Andrea winces) - Yeah, right there, right there. Okay, okay, okay, okay. (hopeful futuristic synth music) - The aair craft wing curve- es flauow, flow, geneeeraating, gene, gener generating lift? (mystical music) Hm (crickets chirping) Out of metal. Is that what you're telling me? We had metal objects flying in the sky, around the earth with people inside. Do you know what metal does? (knife drops) They would've fallen right out of the sky. Look at these pictures, okay. They look like fish. If they could fly, they would look like birds
flapping their wings. - No, no but that's not how it works. See look, if you read here,
look, they explain it there. - They wrote about space
battles in other galaxies too. You believe that? - No, of course, no I don't. That's different. That's science fiction. - Maybe it's all fiction. Maybe this great civilization of yours is all just an old myth. - I know they could fly. - You're a fanatic. - What? - This science is a cult. (Andrea scoffs) You believe every word they wrote down and tell me to think for myself, these books were written to
make us all think the same. - I'm just telling you what I know. - And you don't know anything. You just repeat everything they tell you. - I know they could fly. (Gio breaths sharply) - We need to keep our feet on the ground, where they belong, okay. And when we look out to the horizon, we can see that it's straight, flat, as far as the eye can see. We have to use our common sense. (footsteps approaching) What are you writing? - Anything I read, it helps us remember. Do you know how to write? - Any which way. Not really. - Come here. I'll show you. Come here. - An aaatom consiss...t consiss. - Consists. - Of a nu cleus. - A nucleus, nucleus.
- Nucleus. Nucleus. - nucleus. - Okay. Made of pro tons. - Protons.
- Protons. - Protons. - And neo neo trons. - Neutrons. Whenever you see it like that- - Yeah. - With the U, it's always
gonna be an u, neutrons. - Neutrons. - Mm hmm. Yeah, that was a tricky one. You did well. - All right. Keep reading. Ya. (tense music) (bang) (boom) - Is it true? They could tear the fabric of matter? - Uh they used it to release energy so that we could do things with it. - What about us? I mean, we're just flesh and bone. What do they unleash on us? - It's not what you think. - Why do you always defend them? Do you think everything they did was good? Look around. This is what they did. - No, we'll learn from our mistakes. - Maybe we can't. We're just gonna make
the same mistakes again. - We'll do it better this time. - Things won't always
just get better, okay? - We can't rebuild anything
if we don't learn anything, if we just keep burning
everything we ever knew. You can't just keep listening to that mob of idiots you listen to. - You keep these books around and they could end up in the wrong hands. You can't trust anyone. (suspenseful music) (fire roaring) - Where is it? - What? - The book. - Maybe we should forget about it. - What did you do with it? - You don't know if
it'll be used for good. - Did you already incinerate it? - Did I what? - Oh god, did you burn it, you idiot? Did you burn it? - I didn't do anything to it. It's right here, okay? God, I can't question anything without you flipping out on me. - I didn't mean to-
- Yeah, you did. (tense music) (crickets chirping)
(tense music) How's your leg? (tense music) - It's almost good to go. - You can go any time you know. (tense music) - You don't want me around. (tense music) Look, I'm sorry for how I reacted, but you have to understand that- - You still don't trust me (tense music)
(crickets chirping) (Andrea sighs) then go. - Come here. - What for? - Because I'm cold. (soft instrumental music) Read to me. (soft instrumental music) Like you did the night before. (soft instrumental music) My uncle used to read to
me till I fell asleep. (soft instrumental music) I would dream about
what the world was like. Sometimes I still do. - Where is he now? - Died. - How did he? - He was hiding books
in the ruins until... (candle flame crackles) I can't talk about that. (soft instrumental music) (Gio blows) - I won't let anything happen to you. - I know. - Sweet dreams. (soft hopeful music) (birds chirping) - You risked your life to save it. - I thought, maybe I'll change. - People can change. - What makes you so sure? - I know they can. Otherwise I wouldn't be here right now. - We should go. If they catch us they'll... (soft hopeful music) - We're gonna get this to Alex, okay? We'll be safe there, you'll see. (Andrea groans) (soft instrumental music) (Andrea screams) Okay, it's okay, it's okay. (hopeful music) (swamp sounds) (thunder) Alex! (distant) (gun cocks) Alex! (distant) (birds chirping) I wonder if you guys are
gonna get along at first but, I'm really excited
for you to meet Alex. (gun bangs) (Andrea screams) Get down. - What is that? (gun bangs) - Alex! Get down. - What is that? - That would be Alex. (gun bangs) Alex, it's me. (gun bangs) Alex! Alex, it's Andrea. (gun bangs) Alex, stop, it's Andrea (groans). It's Andrea (panting). It's me, it's Andrea. - Andrea? (Andrea gasping) - You shot at us. - I'm just glad you're okay. - Oh, yeah. (Andrea groans) (Alex and Andrea struggle up) (Andrea groans) (Andrea breathing heavily) - Are you okay? - I will be. - So sorry, Andrea. I didn't think it was
you, you were with... - Gio. (Andrea breathing heavily) Hey, hey, hey he's cool. - Thank you... for helping. Hey, can I get you anything? - We could use some rest. (crickets chirping) - Not many of us left in the world, even less that are good. Hm. Can't be too careful these days. - I told you we'd be safe here. - We brought you this. (soft hopeful music) - This is good. This is really good. Seriously, this is incredible. (all laughing) - I thought it would be
better in your hands, for your collection. You have a library. - We don't really talk about that. How much exactly did you tell him? - He saw what I do. - so you brought him here? - Because I can barely walk. You shot at us because you're so paranoid- - Whoa, hey, it's okay. I didn't mean to- I just wanna help. - We can use all the help we can get. We can't keep doing this on our own. - Where did he come from? - It's a long story. - Tell me. - It's complicated, okay? - Complicated. Do you even know anything about him? - Look, I told you he's okay. - He okay? Is that what he told you? - Like he was there for
me, he protected me. - Look, you can't just trust him. (branch cracks) (gun cocks) - Alex! Alex, there's no one out here. What, you're gonna
shoot at something else? Give it to me. (tense music) You're always so paranoid. (soft hopeful music) (airplane engine roaring) Gio! Gio, Gio, do you see that? (airplane engine roaring) Gio! Gio, look. (airplane engine roaring) Alex! Alex, get out here quick. Alex! Alex, you're gonna miss it. (airplane engine roaring) (Andrea laughs) Look. Do you see it? Gio, look at it (laughs). Look at it go. (airplane engine roaring) (Andrea laughs) A part of our civilization survived. They're out there somewhere. - We have so much to share. We've got to start packing. - Or maybe they're already rebuilding. We can help them. - Right. Okay, so the plane came from the west. We should go west. - Oh, no, you don't know that. It could have been on a direct route home. - No, I've never seen it before. - I've heard it before. I didn't see it. It was up behind the clouds
but that's what it was. - Fine, but it could be just
exploring, it could be lost. It could be just going back and forth. - Yeah, but it's more likely
taking a direct route home. - Well, either way,
we're taking a huge risk to just get up and go,
you know, with all of it. - Well, we have an extra hand. (crickets chirping) Gio. (crickets chirping) Gio. Gio. (distant rummaging) (distant rummaging) (horror music) (birds chirping) (Andrea making noise) What were you doing last night? - I couldn't sleep. - You were looking for something. - What? No, I had to piss, it was dark- - I heard you. - My foot caught something, I slipped. - You were gone half the night. Looking for something. - Is this, this is Alex, isn't it? This is Alex talking. God, do you believe everything he says? - Were you listening to us? - Okay, it's not my fault I can overhear everything you guys talk about, all the things Alex says about me- - You know I defended you. - Right.
- I defended you. - Of course you did because
I've done nothing but help you. I've done nothing wrong. - You answer me this. Look at me. What did you talk about that
night before we got away? - They wanted to get rid of you. I saved you, didn't I? Didn't I? (dramatic music) - Where's Andrea? - She went out looking for you. (dramatic music) - Scouting the perimeter, I thought I heard something last night. (dramatic music) Hey, (dramatic end abruptly) can you help me? - Yeah. It's a good collection. - We can teach people
about all we lost and just, just rebuild. (tense music) This might be the last
invention we ever have to make. - They knew about this? - From 2047, one of
the most recent volumes we've been able to track down. - Nothing came after this? - Nothing we could find. - What happened? - nobody knows, it was the blackout. - This is what they unleashed on us. (tense music) - What? - The dark power. (tense music) (dramatic music) (dramatic music) (blade slashes) (fire crackling) You'll set us back hundreds of years. Don't. (fire crackling) - We have to shut this down. You won't get another
chance once this starts. Look around. Look around. This is what happens when people try. (suspenseful music) (flames roaring) (suspenseful music) (Andrea panting) (dramatic music) (Andrea gasping) (suspenseful music) (fire roaring) (suspenseful music) (Andrea gasping) (gun bangs) (Andrea gasping)
(tense music) (Gio winces) (fire roaring) That won't save you. People don't change, didn't I tell you? You can't trust anyone. (dark music)
(fire crackling) (Andrea gasping) - Andrea. Andrea, the books. (Andrea gasping) (Andrea coughs) (suspenseful music) (fire crackling roaring) - I fucked up. - Yeah. - I really fucked up. I just-
- It's okay. - I just-
- It's okay. - I just thought maybe- - You always see the best in people. - Well, you didn't trust him. - Yeah, cause I see the worst in them. (dramatic music) - I just thought he could change. I really wanted him to change. - It was a mistake. That's all. (dramatic music) It's done. (dramatic music) - Do you think we'll ever learn? (dramatic music) What if we never change? (dramatic music) - I don't know. (dramatic music) (fire crackles) (ocean rumbles) (wind blows) (dark electronica music) (ominous music) (dark electronica music)
