Subterranea (2015) - full transcript

What are
you doing down here

all by yourself?

Thinking.

About what?

That
I waited too long.

Too long?

It'll be 25
years to the day tomorrow.

I'm fearful
he's grown too dependent.

Too acclimatized.

I don't know if he'd make it.

I've made him too weak.



This
has been the plan

from the very beginning.

We can't just
abandon our work now.

It all rests on what
happens next, all of it.

We're so close to
finding the answer.

I'm
not sure he's ready.

I'm not sure I'm ready.

Listen to me,
I will take care of him,

I'll watch him,
you have my word.

It's time for you to let go.

Trust me, he's ready.

Are you awake?

Who is he?

I don't know.



Hello.

Who are you?

Maya.

Maya.

Where am I?

You first, I want a
straight answer out of you.

Who are you?

You wouldn't
believe me if I told you.

Try me.

All I
remember is darkness.

What do you mean?

There was
this small room.

I was alone.

That's all there was.

That's it?

No, no,
there was a light.

A voice taught me to
speak and to read.

A voice?

A provider.

- A.
- A.

- B.
- B.

- C.
- C.

And he led him
into a cave below the earth.

And he led him to a
cave below the earth.

There
he saw how thousands

and thousands of
candles were burning

in countless rows.

There he saw
how thousands and

thousands of
candles were burning

in countless rows.

So how'd you get out?

I don't know,
I woke up in chaos.

The light, the sound.

It overwhelmed me.

I didn't know what to do.

I didn't know where to go.

I was afraid.

Until Remy found me.

Remy?

Hey, hey, what
can I do for ya?

Panic?

Come here.

You're freezing to death.

You all right?

You okay?

Yeah, you're okay.

Come on, we better
get out of here

before she calls the
cops, she's freaked out.

Hey, you speak English or what?

You got a broken leg?

Let's go, come on.

English, come on.

He was the
first person that I met.

He took care of me.

He taught me.

I told him about my
life, about the darkness.

I told him everything.

Crazy shit.

That must've been in
some rich folks jail.

What is that?

Fancy prison.

You must've pulled off some job.

What'd you do, huh?

Nothing.

You want me to
believe that, huh?

Like you're some kind of
fucking Rip Van Winkle?

What is fucking
Rip Van Winkle?

You're all right.

A little fucking strange,
but you're all right.

What's a fucking Rip Van Winkle.

It's a story.

It's about a man who falls
asleep for a long time

and wakes up in a new world.

I understand.

I need to find him.

Who?

The provider,
he's the only one

who knows who I am.

Maybe I can help.

How can I trust you?

Fire.

Lesson number one,
there's only one person

that you can count
on in this life

and that's yourself.

You gotta watch your
back, don't trust anyone,

no one, 'cause they'll
always let you down.

You hear me?

Yes.

All right, go ahead.

Hey, hey.

What are you having?

What are we having?

We'd like two danish.

Okay, anything else?

Yeah.

How are you doin'
today, everything good?

Yeah, everything's good.

Nice
earrings, I like those.

Thank you, coffee?

Two coffees.

Scumbag.

It's like that, huh?

No respect in
service these days.

Listen.

Lesson number two.

Take what you want.

If you see it, take it.

See it, take it.

Yeah.

- The money.
- What?

Take it.

That's what I'm talking about.

Coffee ready?

His
results are like nothing

I've ever seen.

There's no records of anything.

What do you mean?

It means that on
a PC level, he doesn't exist.

Nothing?

Well, there's
no medical or dental records,

no birth certificate,
fingerprints,

social security, nothing.

It's almost as if
somebody wiped him off

the face of the Earth.

Either that or...

Or what?

Or he never had any.

But everybody's got
records, at least something.

I was able to find the
name of his mother.

She had blood work done
about the same time

he was born.

Her last known
address is in there.

Look, I've done what I promised.

I'm done, you
should do the same.

He's trouble, Maya, I
don't care what you see.

I need to know who he is.

Maya.

I love you but this is insane.

You don't know who he
is, what he's capable of.

Take it, put one
in him, come on, do it!

Shoot the fucker!

I won't let you do this,
I'm calling the police.

No, stop.

What if he can give
me some answers?

You already know you can
go if you want answers.

No, I want the
truth, no more lies.

Look, just give me some time.

If I don't find anything out,

I'll make the call myself.

Promise me you will.

What did she
mean I don't exist?

What did she mean by that?

You weren't
suppposed to hear that.

We'll start looking
in the morning.

To
exist signifies to be

or to have life.

Immortal souls will
never cease to exist.

That's all for today,
now, go to sleep.

Are you inside or am I?

Well this is it.

Your mother's last
known address.

Is that her?

Why don't you let me
go check this out first.

Where is she?

She's down there.

What's she
doing down there?

She's dead.

She's buried here.

Oh.

I never really
had a mother either.

I remember things about
her, but nothing concrete,

nothing real.

Guess it kind of
makes us the same.

How?

We're both orphans.

But I had a father of sorts.

Where is he?

I don't know, I haven't
seen him in awhile.

Don't you want to?

Come on, let's go.

Who's this?

It's me.

What do you mean?

I mean that was taken
when I was a child.

It was a long time ago.

This is you?

Yeah.

It's kind of hard to see
the resemblance, huh?

I guess I've always
liked flowers.

At least as long
as I can remember.

What's it like?

What?

Never having
seen this before.

At first I was...

Angry.

Then I was ashamed.

I had never actually known

what a star looked
like before tonight.

I read the word
hundreds of times.

A fixed luminous point
in the night sky,

that is a large, remote,
incandescent body

like the sun.

I just...

Didn't know it would
be so beautiful.

It feels good.

Are
you sure he's asleep?

Yes, we
put him down hours ago.

Listen.

I wanna take him out.

Out?

We can't go on
with this, it's not right,

it's not human.

I don't
think we can do that.

You
trust me, don't you?

Of
course I trust you.

Then
let's end this madness.

Can you spare any, can
you spare any change?

Hey buddy, you
got an extra buck?

Come on, I'm hungry.

Hey, you got nothin'?

Hey, you guys got
any extra coins?

I'm just trying to get home,

I gotta get the bus.

Get a job, man.

Son of a bitch.

Wait until you need
something, huh.

Wait until you
need an extra buck.

Hey, you got an
extra dollar on ya?

Hey, hey, good lookin'.

Hey, little girl!

Little girl!

Bitch.

Hey, buddy, you got
any extra, extra,

just trying to get something
to eat, I'm hungry.

Come on, you got something.

You're all right, thank
you, God bless you, man.

That's how you do it.

That's how you get these people.

How'd you make out?

All right, it's a start.

It's a start, all right,
good work, come on.

Pervert.

That's one way
to pick up someone.

We'll have to work
on that though.

Now you're learning.

That a boy.

Come on.

Hey, hand it over.

That's right.

I got a bigger job
lined up for you.

This is small potatoes.

Assault that occurred
last week downtown.

Police now releasing this
photograph of the suspect

that they've obtained
from an anonymous source.

The victim Manuela Bloc is
still in critical condition.

Police are asking
anyone with information

to contact Crime Enders.

Speaking out on the
recent rash of violence

is Dr. Peter Mockenrue,
he joins us now

with his thoughts.

As preconditioned
as we are to these types,

senseless acts, it's always
jarring when it arrives

in our community and it
touches us personally.

That's him.

I think we
can all agree it's very sad.

Violence continues to be...

I can't tell you
what you don't already know.

I reign the horse for
those who cannot see.

It's the provider, he's here.

That's the voice.

Stop it, stop it.

My provider's here.

Hey, hey, put your head down.

You know that guy, huh?

I don't...

I think
we're being followed.

Okay.

Yeah, take these.

We need to lay low for awhile.

Put that on.

Remy thought he was a
cop, he was always watching.

So Remy came up with a plan.

He caught him.

Paul Grant.

What if he
wasn't following Remy?

What do you mean?

Maybe he can help.

Just act natural.

Just act natural.

Can I help you?

We were just wondering
if you were happy

with your internet
connection, Mrs. Grant.

My name's not Grant.

We must've gotten
our information wrong.

Sorry for the
inconvenience, Miss...

What are you doing?

Be quiet, I'm trying
to find out who she is.

The address is correct, but,

but there's nothing
on Paul Grant.

Come on, Lucas.

I'm doctor.

Let's clean this up then.

Can I help you?

I'm just looking for someone.

I see, well you've
come to the right place.

Just let me know if I can
help you with anything else.

What are you doing?

What is this place?

It's a church.

And who is he?

That's Jesus.

Jesus.

What's wrong with him?

I'll tell you
later, we have to go.

Come on, let's go, come on.

Come on, down here.

Go.

Stay here,
I'll be right back.

Hey, where
are you going?

Hey!

He's here.

I'm sure that
he didn't see you,

I'm going to go upstairs to
make sure he's gone, all right?

This
is getting serious.

He's being chased by the police.

People are dead.

When was the last time you
had a gun in your face, Lucas?

We need to end this and
we need to end it now.

We can't.

Peter said that under
no circumstances

are we to interfere.

He has already seen my face.

We need to lay low.

We already
interfered enough.

Come on, Lucas,
lift with your legs.

If we don't end this now,
someone is going to die.

No one's going to die.

How do you know that?

He's not Maya.

Maya.

Yeah, I don't know
how he found her,

but she's all tied
up with him now.

I couldn't tell Sarah, I'm
sure you'll understand.

But I'm gonna tell Peter.

No, we're going to
relax and stay calm.

I'm calm.

The only thing we're
going to tell Peter

is that everything is going
according to the plan.

You're out of your pay grade.

Go out there.

I hope it's the kid.

Christ.

Can you please just
tell me what's going on?

Talk to me.

I don't know.

The priest's
name is Lucas Dietrich.

He started the fail safe
initiative at the church,

whatever that is.

I've seen him
before, both of them.

They were carrying me somewhere.

That looks fresh.

Don't touch it.

I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to help.

How do they know you?

What?

Those men, they
mentioned your name,

how do they know you?

They mentioned my name?

I don't know.

Believe me.

Fine.

I come here when I wanna think.

It's strange though, there's
something about this place

that haunts me.

I dream about being
here, finding something.

I see these images in
my mind playing over

and over, they seem so real.

I come here when I wake looking

but I every time I do,
I feel farther away.

But I keep coming back.

I always come back.

Why?

It's just not that easy

to forget your past, you know?

At least you have one.

Something to remember.

Anything.

I'm sorry.

Maya, how'd you find me?

I said
I got your money, man.

I was there.

I was taking the
trash out at work

when I heard fighting
in the alley.

Shit.

Take it.

I saw what happened.

Put one in him, come
on, shoot the fucker!

I saw
what he did to you.

Do it.

I couldn't do it.

I know.

Pussy, afraid
to get your hands dirty?

Come on!

Shit.

Fuck with me?

No.

What do you mean no, huh?

That's not how it works here.

You are an accomplice
to a murder, understand?

We just killed these guys.

I didn't.

Who's to say that you didn't?

You're a ghost, right?

You're in it for the ride, kid.

I don't want
your help anymore.

Yeah?

Sorry about that kid.

Better luck next time.

No amount of money's
worth that shit.

He set you up and
left you for dead.

I couldn't just
leave you out there,

so I brought you to my house.

Despite of what
everyone told me,

or what the news said.

There's nobody here.

It's just you and me.

Blue bell.

You owe me one.

Why?

I saved you.

I wanna show you somewhere else

I think you'll like.

There's so much.

So much what?

Everything.

I spent there this whole
time I had no idea.

I just feel stupid.

You're not.

Believe me.

You're brighter than most.

Why are you doing this?

Doing what?

Helping me.

I don't know.

You might think
I'm crazy, but...

I know your eyes.

I've seen them before.

I don't
think you're crazy.

Just relax.

I love you.

How do you know blue bell?

What?

I heard you talking
in your sleep.

You kept repeating
the word blue bell.

Oh.

I don't know.

It's a flower.

Who's this?

It's me,
kind of hard to see

the resemblance, huh?

Maya?

Hello?

Maya?

Hello?

Are you there?

Hello?

You
need to leave now.

Who is this?

There's
no time for that.

He's coming for you.

You need to go.

What?

What
are you waiting for?

I'm trying to find Maya.

If
you want answers,

meet me at Cross Street.

Maya.

Maya!

Hey,
what can I get ya?

Just a decaf latte.

Cool.

There you go.

How much do I owe ya?

It's 3.85.

There you go.

- There you go.
- Thanks.

Hey.

What do you think you're doing?

Hey, hey, man, let go.

Let go, please, let go.

Give me your hands.

No, no.

Put your hands
behind your back now.

Maya!

Stop resisting
me, give me your hands,

right now.

Give me your hand.

We were supposed
to go away together

and now she's gone,
can you help me?

Turn
to your right.

What, where?

I said turn.

Face front.

Where am I?

Home.

Now go to sleep.

Damn it.

Sorry.

Hey, it was an accident.

I had no control, you know?

Come on, we gotta
get out of here!

Get up, hey, I said
let's go, come on.

He's watching you.

His eyes are everywhere.

Hello?

You
can't escape it.

You can't hide in the light.

There's no where to hide.

Hello?

Provider?

No,
we don't get out.

We're all kind of stuck here.

We don't ever get out.

Rise and shine.

Your bail's been paid,
you're free to go.

Do you want to leave or not?

Get up.

Here, he gave you this.

Hello?

Over here.

Who are you?

The name's Andrew,
climb aboard.

Come on.

I'm not gonna bite ya.

Okay.

Going down.

Welcome to my
extremely humble abode.

Sorry about the mess,
it's the maid's year off.

You think I should let her go?

Ah, there it is.

It's beautiful.

The mark.

Gees.

I forgot how jumpy
I was at first.

Hey.

Let's relax.

What do you want from me?

I want to help you.

I want to help us.

Come over here and look at this.

Come on, I'm not
going to hurt you.

Look familiar, huh?

Ah.

You see now.

Who are you?

I'm your brother.

I escaped a long time ago from
the same fate you suffered.

I spent my whole life
searching for answers.

Everything, all of
this, is a collection

of evidence and clues.

He's eluded me all this time.

But now you've come.

We can find him now
and make him pay.

Who?

The provider.

How can I trust you?

He seized him so firmly
with his ice cold hand

that he could not
resist and he led him

into a cave below the earth.

There he saw how
thousands and thousands

of candles were burning
in countless rows.

Some large, others half sized,

others small.

Every moment, some
were extinguished

and others burnt up again

so that the flames
seemed to leap upward,

hither and thither

in perpetual change.

How do you know that?

Because he read me the
same bed time stories.

The same lies and
deceptions he fed you.

How did you find me?

Fairly easily, I've
been following you.

As you can see, I like
to keep an eye on things.

I've been watching
your story on the news.

You've picked up quite
the track record.

Eventually the police would've
locked you up for good

if I hadn't bailed you out.

They're still looking for me?

Of course they are.

Then why did they let me go?

Well sometimes it
pays to be a ghost.

I only mean that it's
very hard for someone

to pin anything on someone

with no record, no history.

That's the gift
of your anonymity.

It's covered your
tracks well enough.

I've taken care of the rest.

I'm the only one who can
pin anything on you now,

or perhaps him.

You know him.

Paul Grant, of course.

He followed me around
too for awhile.

Never could get my hands
on him, slippery bastard.

So when he turned up
wherever you were,

I just put two and two together.

I've seen
him before too.

Ah, yes, Lucas.

He's one of his servants.

Praying on the innocent
souls once they're released.

Trying to control our
weak and atrophied minds

on the outside.

You see, you're
not the only one.

We're not the only ones.

There are lots of us
out there, just look.

Some have no recollection at all

and won't believe the truth.

Others are just too far
gone and have lost the sense

and sanity.

You see, we're all
part of his sick game.

But together, we
can get answers.

Maya.

I'm sorry, I
saw what happened.

What, what happened?

He took her.

Who?

The provider.

If you want to find her,
you're going to have

to find him.

To kill him.

For everyone he
hurted and contained,

for every life he
said was too sensitive

to fly on its own,

for you who had
everything denied

and taken from you.

Don't you want to know why?

An end to all the silence?

Well close the door then.

What are we looking for?

Evidence.

She's involved in this,
we need to find out how.

Looks like she had some company.

Take a look.

I'll check the back.

Hey, look at this.

Well time's up.

I've seen this before.

Well, take the picture,
it'll last longer.

Well let's see,
the kitchen appears

to be closed for the night.

I don't suppose you
don't want any of this,

but I do.

Hey, look what I found in there.

I need to
go back to Maya's.

Okay, let's go.

No.

I need to be alone.

Completely.

Hello?

Bluebell, Bluebell.

I trust you.

That's good.

Let's leave.

What
about your answers?

I don't need them.

All I need is you.

We'll go in the morning.

Don't leave.

I won't.

I promise.

Hey.

Hey.

Remy.

Are you insane, huh?

What do you think you're doing?

You just can stand around
at the scene of a crime

with your thumb up your ass.

You could've gotten me caught.

Okay.

What do you mean okay?

It's not okay, sit down!

I'm in too deep right now, okay.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You got a lot to learn.

You're not worth my time.

Then teach me.

It's about time.

Easy on the jacket.

Take it easy.

Think for a second.

Hey, hey, what are
you gonna do to me?

I want answers.

Keep walking.

Let me go.

You're not
going anywhere,

not until I get answers.

I don't got any
answers for you, kid.

Sit down.

- Now, come on...
- Sit down!

All right.

I am sitting down.

Now I wanna know

what you've done with her.

Maya, where is she?

See the problem with
you is you don't even know

what you want.

I mean how could you?

You don't even know your name.

Come on, let's stop...

Who did this to me?

Who did this to me?

Why am I like this?

He's Mockenrue.

Mockenrue.

Mockenrue.

Get off him.

You almost fucking
killed him, you idiot.

He's got answers that we need.

He said Mockenrue.

What?

Mockenrue, I've
heard that name before.

What are you
fucking talking about?

You let him be.

Damn it.

What have you done?

You're supposed to help
the kid, not kill him.

He just screwed
the whole thing up.

He tried to kill me.

What?

I told you,
Andrew was gonna get

someone killed.

Enough is enough, check it.

Is he dead?

No, he's still breathing.

Okay.

I think it's time now,
we need to end this.

Let's get him to the train.

It's about bloody
time, Reverend.

Let's go.

The next
stop is Seven Sisters.

Next
stop, Seven Sisters.

You made it.

I knew you would.

I always said you were bright.

Provider.

I am.

Let's have a look at you.

And whom I am well pleased.

I bet you'd like some answers.

Would you like to sit?

Do you mind if I sit?

No?

Okay.

Where to begin?

I am a problem solver,
I've been one my whole life

and I'm very good at it
if I don't say so myself.

I've lost so much,

so many people that I've loved

and cared for

to hate and violence.

I had a daughter years ago.

Elle.

She was my light.

It was a week before
the police found her.

It ruined me.

I saw the problem
like many people have

down through the history
and I saw it getting

worse and worse with
no end in sight.

So I decided that there
must be another way.

We've done so much
else to solve problems

that are plaguing our planet.

Environmental
collapse and disease

and famine and what do we do?

We look to science to
shed light on cures,

possible solutions to
avoid catastrophe, yes?

We've even gone so
far as to set up

institutions all around
the globe to study

the idea of violence
and analyze what it is,

but you see, I grew impatient.

I wasn't satisfied with mere
academic acknowledgement.

I wanted something done.

I wanted action.

See.

Peace has remained

an unobtainable phenomenon.

Not to sound simple
minded about it,

but it's something
that's alluded us

since the dawn of time.

Peace never existed.

It was always something that
we've continually fantasized

and evangelized, it was
always out of reach.

A hope that one day,

we could take a hold of it.

But I got tired of hoping.

I lost my hope a long time ago.

'Til you came.

You're my hope, my
attempt at a solution.

An attempt at peace if you
will to see if it truly is

out of our reach,
whether nature denies us

this right all together.

You.

How could you do this to me?

I never had a chance.

A chance at what?

You don't see.

No, I don't see.

I never saw anything
because of you.

I took a chance, I saw
the path you could've taken,

I lived it firsthand myself.

I saved you from all
the sleepless nights

and the gnawing emptiness,

that enigmatic pain that
consumes our species,

I wanted to give
you something more.

Your mother died in childbirth.

You had no father, no
family, no friends,

so I adopted you.

We tended for you
together, Sara and myself.

You were our new beginning.

A reason for us to go on,
a reason for us to exist.

Sara.

Yes, Sara was my partner.

Shh.

She loved you like a son.

Too much so.

She grew too attached, she
lost sight of the big picture.

She wanted to bring you up.

Yes!

She couldn't continue on,
she had to leave the project,

leaving me with everything.

So I continued on,
but by that time,

you were old enough
to be left alone.

The only thing left
remaining was to teach you.

You were truly bright,
your attention of knowledge

was prodigious maybe
from lack of stimulation,

but you learned at
an incredible rate.

Faster than anyone
I'd ever seen.

It's all right here.

Notebooks, journals.

Two and a half
decades of my work.

Our work.

Look at this.

You remember?

Maya.

She never
should've found you.

She put all of my
work in jeopardy.

Bluebell?

Bluebell!

Sara and
I had made a mistake.

Maya was our daughter
but I couldn't let her

influence the project.

So I pushed her away

and distanced myself.

She never understood and
after all those years

of neglect, she left.

Where is she?

With her mother now, I'm sure.

Learning her whole
life was a lie.

It's a lot to take in as
I'm sure you're finding out.

Come on, Lucas.

Lift with your legs.

Hold it down.

What
are you doing?

Peter didn't say
anything about a tattoo.

I don't see
Peter here, do you?

I'm in charge now.

Jesus Christ.

Your'e a liar.

Just another one of
the many who saw to it

that you made it
here in one piece.

I've been watching you
for a very long time.

You trust
me, don't you?

Of
course I trust you,

but this isn't your
fault, it's his.

No, I took
part, I agreed to this,

but we've gone too far.

Can't you see,
he's just a child.

No,
he's an experiment.

Was nothing mine?

What's mine?

Someone else's time?

A smile?

What's in here.

What isn't yours?

Everything is yours,
you get to keep it all.

I don't belong here.

I have nothing.

For what?

For this,
everything comes down

to what happens now.

You're free.

Free.

To choose, to act, to forgive.

You have the chance
to renew our hope.

Everything depends on
what you decide to do now.

Remember
why you're here,

you need to stick to the plan.

Don't touch me.

Listen to me.

You have every right to be mad.

Believe me, I understand
what you're feeling.

You understand how I feel?

No, you don't get
to say that to me.

You said that you
were my brother,

why did you tell me that?

What did he say?

You said I needed
to kill the Provider.

Just calm
down, take it easy.

I want Maya.

We told you, she's gone,
it was too much for her.

She had a choice,
just like you do

and she left.

I don't believe you.

You don't?

Did she tell you she was leaving

or where she was going?

She was taken.

Was she?

Bluebell?

Mom?

Sarah
told her all about

your pitiful existence if
you can even call it that.

How you eat by on
scraps in the dark, damp

basement of a sadistic madman.

She knows who you
are, what you are

and she left, just like he left.

Why are we here?

Because I trusted
the wrong people.

I was stupid.

I had it.

I lost it all.

Now I got nothin'.

That's what happens
when you put faith

in the wrong people.

They take it away from ya.

You gotta remember that.

It's
time to end this.

Where is she?

I told you, she's gone.

What did he say to you?

What has he done?

He's ruined everything,
all my work.

Where is she?

Bluebell?

I don't know, I haven't
seen her in a long time.

You took her from me.

No, no, I...

No.

You've ruined my life.

I tried to help you,
I tried to save you.

Do you remember the
last thing I said to you

before I let you out?

This is it.

An end to all the silence.

Sorry.

Father.

Why have you done this to me?

There will
be a day when everything

changes for you.

You'll lose everything
you ever loved.

Everything you held close,

everything you ever believed in.

When that time comes,
I want you to remember

what I tell you now.

I have loved you as a son.

Know that everything
you've been through,

everything I never gave you

was out of love.

You can't understand
it now, but you will.

The next
stop is Seven Sisters.

You are
everything I've worked for

and hope for.

And you're all that I have left.

It's all come down to one moment

and one decision.

Please remember
this and know that

I'm sorry.

Are you awake?

Go to sleep.
