The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 4, Episode 21 - Promised Land - full transcript
On a future Earth, a group of alien settlers and group of escaped human slaves battle the environment and each other. As the casualties pile up, can they set aside their misunderstandings and learn to co-exist?

THEY NEED TO BE SPRAYED
SO IT DOESN'T SPREAD
FROM PLANT TO PLANT
AND RUIN OUR WHOLE HARVEST.
OH, I SEE IT NOW.
I'LL GO GET THE SPRAYER.
IT'S ALREADY DONE.
THIS FOOD
IS OUR SURVIVAL, MA'AL.
WITHOUT IT, WE STARVE.
YOU MUST LEARN
HOW TO TEND IT, HUH?
ALL RIGHT.
ENOUGH LESSONS
FOR TODAY.
RUN ALONG.
REMEMBER, MA'AL.
NEVER EAT ANYTHING
FROM THE OUTSIDE...EVER.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
I KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GOING.
TO THE RUINS
OF THE OLD CITY AGAIN.
FATHER WARNED YOU
ABOUT GOING THERE.
YOU KNOW WHY, DON'T YOU?
MOVE, T'SHA.
IT'S BECAUSE THE WOODS
ARE FILLED WITH THE BEINGS,
BIG SMELLY ONES
WITH RAZOR TEETH,
CLAWS LIKE HOOKS.
THEY HUNT IN PACKS --
THEY FOLLOW YOU,
AND THEY CORNER YOU
AND THEN THEY ATTACK!
( snarling )
THE BEINGS DIED LONG AGO
IN THE CAMPS.
GRANDFATHER SAID SO.
HE JUST TELLS YOU THAT
SO YOU WON'T BE SCARED.
WHY DO THINK HE KEEPS FIXING
ALL THE PERIMETER TRAPS?
THOSE ARE FOR ANIMALS, T'SHA.
BELIEVE
WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.
BUT YOU SHOULD
KNOW THIS.
THE BEINGS' FAVORITE FOOD
IS TSAL-KHAN CHILDREN
WHO WANDER WHERE
THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO.
WHEN THOSE MONSTERS
ARE DONE WITH YOU,
THERE'S NOT EVEN ENOUGH
LEFT OVER TO BURY.

WE WILL CONTROL ALL THAT
YOU SEE AND HEAR.
( ♪ )
YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.
OUR MOST POWERFUL INSTINCT
IS SELF-PRESERVATION.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN FEAR AND MISTRUST
TWIST THAT DRIVE
INTO A FORCE MORE DESTRUCTIVE
THAN ANY OUTSIDE ENEMY?
TODAY, ALONG WITH OUR FREEDOM,
WE RECLAIM THE NAMES
THAT WE WERE GIVEN AT BIRTH
BUT NEVER DARED SPEAK ALOUD
WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAMP.
I STAND BEFORE YOU
NOT AS PRISONER 98801.
I AM REBECCA,
NAMED BY MY MOTHER
FROM THE ANCIENT BOOK OF WISDOM.
WHO ELSE WILL THROW OFF
THEIR SLAVE NAMES?
SPEAK YOUR TRUE NAME
SO THAT EVERYONE CAN HEAR.
I AM DAVID,
AND THIS IS ISAAC.
THE ELDERS TELL ME
IT MEANS
"THE ONE WHO LAUGHS".
ISAAC.
I'M RUTH.
MY MOTHER NAMED ME
AFTER HER OWN MOTHER.
RUTH.
AND I'M CALEB.
THE ELDERS SAID
IT MEANS "FAITHFUL ONE".
CALEB.
JOSHUA.
HENRY.
IF THERE'S ANYONE
WE SHOULD HONOR TODAY,
IT'S YOUR MOTHER.
WE WOULD HAVE
NEVER MADE IT
OUT OF THE CAMP
WITHOUT HER BRAVERY.
FIGHT THEM! FIGHT!
WE WOULD HAVE REMAINED
SLAVES FOREVER,
WORKING IN THEIR CAMP.
YOUR MOTHER SAVED US.
SHE DIED A HERO.
NOW TELL ME, WHAT
NAME WILL YOU GO BY?
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE
A PRETTY NAME,
STRONG, TO SUIT YOU.
WELL,
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
THINK OF SOMETHING,
WON'T WE?
MY NAME IS ALEX.
WHILE WE'RE BUSY
NAMING THINGS,
REBECCA,
WHAT DO WE CALL
THESE USELESS RUINS
WE'VE JOURNEYED
SO FAR TO FIND?
SURELY NOT THE PROMISED LAND
THAT THE ELDERS SPOKE OF.
WE HAVEN'T EXPLORED IT ALL.
IT'S A JUNKYARD!
WE'VE BEEN OUT
FOR A WEEK.
WE'RE WORSE OFF NOW.
IF YOU'D RATHER
STARVE IN YOUR PRISON BED,
THEN GO BACK TO IT.
THE REST OF US
HAVE TO FIND FOOD
THAT'S SAFE TO EAT.
FATHER, I'M HUNGRY.
YOU WANT FOOD?
I'LL SHOW YOU FOOD.
WE'RE SURROUNDED BY IT.
DON'T BE STUPID!
YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING BEYOND
THE WALLS OF THE CAMP
WAS POISONED
BY THE ALIENS
DURING THE WAR.
LOOK AROUND YOU.
THE TREES AND PLANTS
HAVE GROWN BACK!
WHAT IF THE STORIES THEY TOLD US
ABOUT POISON IN THE FOOD
IS JUST A LIE?
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
THEY TOLD US.
IF IT WAS UNCONTAMINATED,
DON'T YOU THINK THEY'D HAVE
FED US WITH IT
INSTEAD OF THE SCRAPS?
THEY'D HAVE GOTTEN MORE WORK
OUT OF US
IF WE WERE HEALTHY AND STRONG.
DO YOU SEE?
THE FOOD IS FINE.
WHAT THEY POISONED
WAS OUR MINDS!
NO, WAIT! PLEASE, DON'T LET
YOUR HUNGER RULE YOUR HEAD.
PLEASE, DAVID,
FOR YOUR SON'S SAKE.
WE'RE STARVING,
REBECCA.
WHAT HAVE
WE GOT TO LOSE?
WAIT! PLEASE!
SOMEONE...PLEASE!
NO.
I KNOW YOU'RE HUNGRY.
IT'LL ONLY MAKE YOU SICK.
PLEASE, YOU GOT TO BE STRONG.
WE WILL FIND REAL FOOD SOON.
I PROMISE.
WHERE'S MA'AL?
HE WAS HERE
EARLIER.
HE HELPED ME
MOST OF THE MORNING.
I TOLD HIM
HE COULD GO.
FATHER!
THERE IS ONLY
SO MUCH INFORMATION
THE BOY CAN ABSORB
AT A TIME.
AND I'M AFRAID FARMING
DOESN'T INTEREST HIM MUCH.
I KNOW WHAT DOES
INTEREST HIM
IS THAT OLD CITY.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT,
JUST SOME OLD JUNK.
WHAT IF HE GETS LOST?
WHAT IF ONE OF THOSE
OLD BUILDINGS COLLAPSES?
WE'D NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND HIM.
HE'LL BE FINE.
HE'S JUST EXPLORING.
YOU KNOW,
IT CAN'T BE EASY FOR HIM
LIVING HERE WITH NO FRIENDS,
NO CHILDREN HIS OWN AGE
TO PLAY WITH.
SOMETIMES I WISH OUR ANCESTORS
HAD GONE ON A TRANSPORT SHIP
AND GOTTEN OUT OF HERE
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
YES, WELL,
THEY WERE A STUBBORN LOT.
DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP WHAT
THEY STARTED HERE I SUPPOSE.
I KNOW IT'S NOT BEEN EASY
FOR YOU EITHER.
NOT SINCE WE LOST THERIN.
I UNDERSTAND.
I MISS HIM TOO.
AND THE BOYS MISS THEIR FATHER.
HIS ILLNESS COULD HAVE BEEN
CURED ON THE HOME PLANET.
WE COULD HAVE
BOUGHT HIM A PLACE
ON ONE OF
THE RENEGADE SUPPLY SHIPS.
BUT...HE WOULDN'T LEAVE US.
HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
I KNOW SOMETIMES
IT SEEMS HARD
AND LONELY HERE.
BUT OUR ANCESTORS
PROBABLY DID US A FAVOR.
THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE
ON THE RESETTLEMENT COLONY.
AT LEAST HERE
WE HAVE LAND TO CALL OUR OWN,
A GOOD FOOD SUPPLY.
AND MA'AL WILL LEARN IN TIME
THAT IT'S NOT SO BAD HERE, HUH?
AFTER ALL,
YOU TURNED OUT
ALL RIGHT.
HUH?
YES...YES.
( distant clatter )
( banging )
MY STOMACH HURTS.
YOU MUST STAY DOWN.
YOU'RE BURNING UP WITH FEVER.
NO, I GOT
TO FIND ISAAC.
ISAAC WILL BE FINE.
YOU MUST REST.
RUTH.
THANK GOD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE YOU'D GONE.
THE FRUIT MADE THEM SICK.
RUN TO THE CISTERN
AND GET ME SOME WATER.
COME ON, ISAAC.
BREATHE FOR ME, HMM?
PLEASE.
DRINK.
PLEASE, DRINK.
OH, GOD.
MY SON!
WHY MY SON?!
WHY ISAAC AND NOT ME?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE YOU HAVE A PURPOSE
BEYOND THIS PLACE.
MAYBE WE ALL DO.
MAY THE LORD WATCH
OVER ALL THEIR SOULS.
AND OURS.
( grunting )
DID YOU SEE SOMETHING?
WHAT IS IT?
COME ON.
HE'S GETTING AWAY.
SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD
TO FOLLOW THE TRAIL.
WHAT ABOUT
THE SICK ONES?
WE'LL COME BACK
FOR THEM.
KRENN! BLAVAN! T'SHA!
WHAT IS IT?
I THINK IT'S A FARM.
THE ELDERS
USED TO TALK ABOUT THEM.
PEOPLE USED TO
LIVE ON THEM.
THEY GREW THINGS.
THERE MUST BE
FOOD HERE,
ENOUGH
TO FEED US ALL.
THERE WAS LOTS OF THEM.
THEY WERE IN THE OLD CITY.
THEY CHASED ME
THROUGH THE WOODS.
THEY WERE TRYING TO EAT ME
LIKE T'SHA SAID.
WHAT HAVE YOU
BEEN TELLING HIM?
NOTHING.
HE'S MAKING THIS UP
SO YOU WON'T PUNISH HIM.
I AM NOT.
THEY CHASED ME HERE.
LIAR.
THAT'S ENOUGH, T'SHA.
WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU
ABOUT LEAVING THE PROPERTY?
MOTHER, THE BEINGS--
I'M NOT INTERESTED.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DISOBEYING.
GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK.
YOU'LL SEE THEM.
GO TO YOUR ROOM, MA'AL.
GRANDFATHER?
DISOBEYING IS ONE THING.
TELLING LIES IS ANOTHER.
IT'S NOT A LIE.
THEY'RE OUT THERE
IN THE WOODS.
( sighing )
THERE'S SOMEONE COMING OUT.
WHAT'S HE DOING?
( Ruth )
IT'S PROBABLY LOOKING FOR US.
IT'S GOT A WEAPON.
HE'S GOING AROUND THE BACK.
THEY COULD COME
AROUND FROM BEHIND
AND SURPRISE US.
WE SHOULD
GET AWAY FROM HERE.
LEAVING NOW
WILL ONLY ATTRACT ATTENTION.
( branch breaking )
THERE'S SOMETHING
BEHIND US!
LET'S GO!
NO, NO!
DAVID.
YOU SCARED US
TO DEATH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I SAT BACK THERE IN THE CITY
WATCHING THE OTHERS DIE,
AND I WANTED TO DIE MYSELF,
BUT FOR SOME REASON I DIDN'T.
MAYBE I DIDN'T EAT
AS MUCH OF THE FRUIT,
OR MAYBE IT'S WHAT YOU SAID.
MAYBE I HAVE A PURPOSE.
DID YOU SEE THEM?
NO, I DIDN'T.
THEY'RE HIDING.
A COUPLE OF BIG ONES
AND ONE THAT'S SMALLER LIKE ME.
NOW THAT
WOULD BE SCARY.
T'SHA, GO BACK AND HELP
YOUR MOTHER WITH THE MEAL.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME
EITHER, DO YOU?
THE BEINGS ALL DIED
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO,
AS I'VE TOLD YOU
MANY TIMES BEFORE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
WHEN
OUR PEOPLE FIRST LANDED HERE,
IN MY GREAT
GRANDPARENTS' TIME,
THEY CAME IN PEACE.
THEY BROUGHT GIFTS
AND OFFERINGS.
BUT THE BEINGS ATTACKED
AND KILLED MANY OF THEM.
THEN WAS THE WAR.
OUR PEOPLE WON.
BUT IT WAS
A BITTER STRUGGLE.
EVERY LIVING THING
ON THIS PLANET WAS POISONED.
THAT'S WHY WE CAN ONLY EAT
THE FOOD WE GROW OURSELVES.
IF THE BEINGS ARE ALL DEAD,
THEN WHAT WAS CHASING ME?
THEY'VE GONE BACK INSIDE.
WE'RE SAFE.
PERHAPS.
FOR HOW LONG?
WHY WORRY?
THEY DIDN'T FIND US.
THEY DIDN'T LOOK VERY HARD.
MAYBE THEY DIDN'T
BELIEVE THE SMALL ONE.
AND MAYBE THEY DID.
AND THEY'RE
JUST WAITING
UNTIL THERE'S
ENOUGH OF THEM
TO COME BACK
AND LOOK HARDER.
OR MAYBE
ALL WE SAW IS WHAT THERE IS,
THE ONE WITH THE WEAPON
AND THE SMALL ONES.
IF THERE ARE ANY MORE,
THEY'D HAVE COME AFTER US.
I REMEMBER
THOSE WEAPONS...
FROM THE CAMP.
I THINK WE SHOULD
GO BACK TO THE OTHERS.
THEY'RE DEPENDING ON US
TO GET FOOD.
WE CAN'T GO BACK EMPTY-HANDED.
WHAT IS IT?
FOOD...
COOKING OVER
AN OPEN FLAME.
SO THEY SIT THERE
EATING THEIR FILL
WHILE WE LOSE
OUR CHILDREN
TO STARVATION
AND DISEASE,
DISEASE THAT THEY
VISITED ON THIS PLANET.
GENERATIONS
OF OUR PEOPLE
HAVE SUFFERED
AT THEIR HAND.
I CAN'T BRING MY SON BACK,
BUT I CAN DO SOMETHING
IN HIS MEMORY.
I SAY WE GO IN, AND WE TAKE
WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS.
I'M SORRY
I LOST MY PATIENCE WITH YOU.
BUT YOU MUST LEARN
TO FOLLOW THE RULES.
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
MA'AL?
WHAT IS IT?
I WAS JUST WONDERING
ABOUT THE BEINGS.
GRANDFATHER SAID
THEY HAD TO
KILL THEM ALL BECAUSE
THEY WERE ATTACKING OUR PEOPLE.
YES.
BUT DIDN'T THEY LIVE HERE FIRST?
NOW WATCH THE DOOR.
IT'S SOUR.
BUT IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM.
( alarm sounding )
IT'S ONE OF THEM,
ISN'T IT?
HE MAY HAVE HAD HELP.
I'M GOING TO GO OUT
AND CHECK THE PROPERTY.
STAY HERE WITH MA'AL.
T'SHA, COME WITH ME.
I HEARD CALEB SCREAM.
HE MUST HAVE
TRIGGERED SOME DEVICE,
LIKE KNIVES
GOING THROUGH HIM.
WE MUST
GO FIND REBECCA.
SHE COULDN'T
MAKE IT OUT.
AND END UP LIKE CALEB?
I'LL TAKE
MY CHANCES.
THOSE TRAPS
COULD BE ANYWHERE.
THERE MUST BE A WAY
BACK INTO THAT FARM.
ALL RIGHT, YOU STAY
HERE WITH THE GIRL.
YOU'RE BRAVE,
BUT I DON'T THINK
ROCKS ARE A MATCH
FOR THEM.
STAY HERE
UNTIL I RETURN.
OKAY, OKAY.
WAIT!
( yelling
in alien language )
REBECCA!
THE ROCKS WOULD
HAVE SPRUNG IT
IF IT WAS WIRED.
COME ON, HURRY!
LOOK, I KNOW WE'RE ALL HUNGRY,
BUT WE HAVE TO SAVE SOME.
NO TELLING HOW LONG
IT'S GOING TO LAST US.
NOT FOR LONG.
WE MUST FIND A WAY
TO IMPROVE OUR ODDS NEXT TIME.
THERE WON'T BE A NEXT TIME.
THEY'LL BE WAITING FOR US.
WHAT ABOUT THE REST
OF OUR PEOPLE?
WE GOT TO GET THEM
SOME OF THIS FOOD.
IT'S POINTLESS.
THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT ALIVE
WHEN I SET OUT.
GO ON.
YOU NEED
YOUR STRENGTH.
BESIDES,
YOU EARNED IT.
THAT WAS
SMART OF YOU
TO USE THE ROCKS
TO SPRING THE TRAPS.
I KNOW I CAN'T
TAKE THE PLACE
OF YOUR MOTHER.
BUT I CAN BE YOUR FRIEND.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL HERE.
SEEMS LIKE
WE NEVER SAW THE SKY
WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAMP.
THE ELDERS USED TO TELL STORIES
ABOUT NIGHTS LIKE THIS...
WHEN THE STARS WERE OUT
AND THE WORLD WAS FULL OF HOPE.
PEOPLE ROAMED FREE AND HUNTED
AND COOKED GREAT FEASTS.
"TALI."
WHAT A LOVELY NAME.
TALI?
GOOD NIGHT...
...TALI.
( birds calling )
THE FOOD IS GONE AND SO IS RUTH.
SHE COULDN'T
HAVE TAKEN IT.
SHE WOULDN'T.
OH, WOULDN'T SHE?
WHO WAS ALWAYS AGAINST
RAIDING THE FARM?
WHO WAS ALWAYS SAYING
WE SHOULD TURN BACK?
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
WHERE WOULD SHE GO?
MAYBE TO THE ALIENS.
WHY? SHE'S
TERRIFIED OF THEM.
MAYBE SO TERRIFIED,
SHE THINKS THAT
GIVING HERSELF UP TO THEM
AND BETRAYING US
IS HER ONLY CHANCE.
WE GOT TO MOVE
BEFORE THEY FIND US.
MOVE? WHERE?
OR WE STRIKE NOW.
THE TWO OF US WITH
ROCKS AND STICKS
AGAINST TRAPS
AND BEAM WEAPONS?
THERE'S NO CHOICE!
WE'VE GOT NO FOOD!
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?
LOOK, I'M SORRY
WE'RE IN THIS MESS.
I'M SORRY
RUTH RAN OUT,
AND I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR SON.
BUT I'VE GOT TALI
TO THINK ABOUT NOW.
MAKING STUPID DECISIONS
ISN'T GOING TO HELP.
THEY KILLED ONE OF OURS.
I'M NOT SURE THAT WAS PLANNED.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
A TRAP FOR ANIMALS.
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TO THEM.
I THINK THEY'RE THE ANIMALS.
THE PROMISED LAND IS RIGHT HERE!
AS LONG AS IT'S WITHIN MY REACH,
I WON'T GO HUNGRY.
MAYBE THERE'S A WAY TO GET
WHAT WE WANT WITHOUT A WAR.
THERE'S BEEN TOO MUCH DYING.
( aliens speaking
in the distance )
WE DO NOT PRESUME
TO JUDGE THIS BEING.
WE BEAR HIM NO MALICE.
THEREFORE WE GRANT HIM A BURIAL
THE SAME
AS WE WOULD ONE OF OUR OWN.
MY GOD, IT'S CALEB.
AND WE GRANT HIM THE LIBERATION
OF HIS LIFE FORCE.
MAY HIS SPIRIT BE FREED.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
WHY NOW? WHY US?
BECAUSE WE'RE HERE,
AND WE HAVE WHAT THEY WANT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER,
YOU'VE ALWAYS TOLD US
THAT ALL THE BEINGS DIED.
WELL, IT SEEMS
I WAS MISTAKEN.
I APOLOGIZE.
APOLOGIZE?
FOR WHAT?
YOU KNEW ABOUT THEM, DIDN'T YOU?
THAT'S WHY
YOU BELIEVED MA'AL.
THAT'S WHY YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN SURPRISED
BY ANY OF THIS.
I KNEW THERE WERE LABOR CAMPS
FROM THE WAR DAYS
PRODUCING FUEL
FOR THE SHIPS.
I KNEW
THAT SOME OF THE BEINGS WERE
KEPT ALIVE TO WORK IN THEM.
BUT THE CAMPS CLOSED
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
NOT ALL OF THEM.
WHY WOULD ANYONE
KEEP THE CAMPS GOING
AFTER THE ARMY MOVED ON?
THE WARS THEY WERE USING
THE SLAVE LABOR FOR
ENDED LONG BEFORE
I WAS EVEN BORN.
THE CAMPS WERE AUTOMATED,
RUN BY ANDROIDS.
THEY WERE PROGRAMMED
TO...DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS
ONCE THE CAMPS BECAME OBSOLETE.
YOU MEAN...KILL ALL THE BEINGS?
SOME OF THEM
MUST HAVE SURVIVED SOMEHOW.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?
OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS
BELIEVED THE RECORD-KEEPERS
DIDN'T TELL US THE WHOLE STORY
ABOUT OUR LANDING
ON THIS PLANET.
THEY BELIEVED
OUR SHIPS
ATTACKED WITHOUT WARNING.
THEY DEFIED GOVERNMENT ORDERS
BY TRYING
TO HIDE THE BEINGS
AND HELP THEM ESCAPE.
THIS WAS THEIR PENANCE.
AND NOW IT'S OURS.
YOU KNEW ALL THIS,
AND YOU NEVER
TOLD ANYONE?
WHAT GOOD
WOULD IT HAVE DONE?
BUT I CAN
PROMISE YOU THIS.
THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST
WILL NOT BE REPEATED.
THE BEINGS HAVE
CAUSED US ONLY PAIN.
I WILL
DEFEND THIS FAMILY,
WHATEVER THE COST.
( alarm sounding )
GO BACK TO THE HOUSE.
PROTECT THE BOYS.
PSST!
GO ON!
GET OUT OF HERE!
RUTH?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
WE GOT TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
TAKE THE FOOD AND GO.
I CAN'T LEAVE YOU HERE.
I'LL STAY WITH HIM.
YOU GO.
I'LL DRAW THEM AWAY.
TAKE THE FOOD AND GO.
GO! GO!
( yelling in alien language )
OH, TALI, THANK GOD!
NO!
TALI.
THE BEING, MOTHER...
THE SMALLER ONE
LIKE ME.
DID I KILL HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT
YOU SAVED
YOUR BROTHER'S LIFE.
YOU SHOULD
BE VERY PROUD.
HOW IS IT, MA'AL?
I'M FINE, GRANDFATHER.
WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED,
SECURE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS.
T'SHA AND I WILL
GO OUT BACK
AND GUARD THE BARN.
THEY'LL GO AFTER
THE FOOD SUPPLY.
WHAT IF
WE GAVE THEM FOOD?
MAYBE THEY'D GO AWAY.
THEY'LL NEVER GO AWAY.
( whimpering )
SHH.
YOU THINK THE WORST OF ME.
WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I THINK?
I WAS AFRAID.
CAN'T YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT?
I DIDN'T THINK.
I JUST TOOK THE FOOD AND RAN.
BUT I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE.
NO?
NO.
THEN YOU'RE NOT JUST A TRAITOR.
YOU'RE ALSO STUPID.
DAVID, WAIT!
GET AWAY FROM ME!
NO!
STOP IT!
STOP IT!
BOTH OF YOU!
TALI IS FIGHTING
FOR HER LIFE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING
FIGHTING AMONG OURSELVES?
WE BROKE AWAY FROM THE CAMPS
SO OUR CHILDREN COULD LIVE FREE.
SO HELP ME,
IF TALI SURVIVES THIS,
THAT'S THE LIFE SHE WILL HAVE.
I'M NOT WILLING TO JUST SURVIVE.
I'M GOING BACK OVER THAT FENCE.
AND I DON'T JUST WANT THE FOOD.
I WANT JUSTICE.
MOTHER!
LOOK.
HERE THEY COME.
( speaking alien language )
DAVID.
NO.
RUTH.
WHAT MERCY
DID YOU SHOW MY PEOPLE?
MY SON WHO DIED
IN YOUR PRISON CAMP?
( whispering in alien language )
IT'S HEALING ME.
MAYBE IT JUST
NEEDS MORE TIME.
KRENN!
OH, THANK YOU.
( control voice )
IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT
MYSTERIES OF EXISTENCE
HOW THE SMALLEST DROP
OF UNDERSTANDING
CAN CLEANSE
A SEA OF MISTRUST AND HATE.

( speaking alien language )
THEY NEED TO BE SPRAYED
SO IT DOESN'T SPREAD

AND RUIN OUR WHOLE HARVEST.
OH, I SEE IT NOW.
I'LL GO GET THE SPRAYER.

BUT...HE WOULDN'T LEAVE US.
HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
I KNOW SOMETIMES
IT SEEMS HARD
AND LONELY HERE.
BUT OUR ANCESTORS
PROBABLY DID US A FAVOR.
THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE
ON THE RESETTLEMENT COLONY.
AT LEAST HERE
WE HAVE LAND TO CALL OUR OWN,
A GOOD FOOD SUPPLY.
AND MA'AL WILL LEARN IN TIME
THAT IT'S NOT SO BAD HERE, HUH?
AFTER ALL,
YOU TURNED OUT
ALL RIGHT.
HUH?
YES...YES.
( distant clatter )
( banging )
MY STOMACH HURTS.
YOU MUST STAY DOWN.
YOU'RE BURNING UP WITH FEVER.
NO, I GOT
TO FIND ISAAC.
ISAAC WILL BE FINE.
YOU MUST REST.
RUTH.
THANK GOD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE YOU'D GONE.
THE FRUIT MADE THEM SICK.
RUN TO THE CISTERN
AND GET ME SOME WATER.
COME ON, ISAAC.
BREATHE FOR ME, HMM?
PLEASE.
DRINK.
PLEASE, DRINK.
OH, GOD.
MY SON!
WHY MY SON?!
WHY ISAAC AND NOT ME?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE YOU HAVE A PURPOSE
BEYOND THIS PLACE.
MAYBE WE ALL DO.
MAY THE LORD WATCH
OVER ALL THEIR SOULS.
AND OURS.
( grunting )
DID YOU SEE SOMETHING?
WHAT IS IT?
COME ON.
HE'S GETTING AWAY.
SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD
TO FOLLOW THE TRAIL.
WHAT ABOUT
THE SICK ONES?
WE'LL COME BACK
FOR THEM.
KRENN! BLAVAN! T'SHA!
WHAT IS IT?
I THINK IT'S A FARM.
THE ELDERS
USED TO TALK ABOUT THEM.
PEOPLE USED TO
LIVE ON THEM.
THEY GREW THINGS.
THERE MUST BE
FOOD HERE,
ENOUGH
TO FEED US ALL.
THERE WAS LOTS OF THEM.
THEY WERE IN THE OLD CITY.
THEY CHASED ME
THROUGH THE WOODS.
THEY WERE TRYING TO EAT ME
LIKE T'SHA SAID.
WHAT HAVE YOU
BEEN TELLING HIM?
NOTHING.
HE'S MAKING THIS UP
SO YOU WON'T PUNISH HIM.
I AM NOT.
THEY CHASED ME HERE.
LIAR.
THAT'S ENOUGH, T'SHA.
WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU
ABOUT LEAVING THE PROPERTY?
MOTHER, THE BEINGS--
I'M NOT INTERESTED.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DISOBEYING.
GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK.
YOU'LL SEE THEM.
GO TO YOUR ROOM, MA'AL.
GRANDFATHER?
DISOBEYING IS ONE THING.
TELLING LIES IS ANOTHER.
IT'S NOT A LIE.
THEY'RE OUT THERE
IN THE WOODS.
( sighing )
THERE'S SOMEONE COMING OUT.
WHAT'S HE DOING?
( Ruth )
IT'S PROBABLY LOOKING FOR US.
IT'S GOT A WEAPON.
HE'S GOING AROUND THE BACK.
THEY COULD COME
AROUND FROM BEHIND
AND SURPRISE US.
WE SHOULD
GET AWAY FROM HERE.
LEAVING NOW
WILL ONLY ATTRACT ATTENTION.
( branch breaking )
THERE'S SOMETHING
BEHIND US!
LET'S GO!
NO, NO!
DAVID.
YOU SCARED US
TO DEATH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I SAT BACK THERE IN THE CITY
WATCHING THE OTHERS DIE,
AND I WANTED TO DIE MYSELF,
BUT FOR SOME REASON I DIDN'T.
MAYBE I DIDN'T EAT
AS MUCH OF THE FRUIT,
OR MAYBE IT'S WHAT YOU SAID.
MAYBE I HAVE A PURPOSE.
DID YOU SEE THEM?
NO, I DIDN'T.
THEY'RE HIDING.
A COUPLE OF BIG ONES
AND ONE THAT'S SMALLER LIKE ME.
NOW THAT
WOULD BE SCARY.
T'SHA, GO BACK AND HELP
YOUR MOTHER WITH THE MEAL.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME
EITHER, DO YOU?
THE BEINGS ALL DIED
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO,
AS I'VE TOLD YOU
MANY TIMES BEFORE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
WHEN
OUR PEOPLE FIRST LANDED HERE,
IN MY GREAT
GRANDPARENTS' TIME,
THEY CAME IN PEACE.
THEY BROUGHT GIFTS
AND OFFERINGS.
BUT THE BEINGS ATTACKED
AND KILLED MANY OF THEM.
THEN WAS THE WAR.
OUR PEOPLE WON.
BUT IT WAS
A BITTER STRUGGLE.
EVERY LIVING THING
ON THIS PLANET WAS POISONED.
THAT'S WHY WE CAN ONLY EAT
THE FOOD WE GROW OURSELVES.
IF THE BEINGS ARE ALL DEAD,
THEN WHAT WAS CHASING ME?
THEY'VE GONE BACK INSIDE.
WE'RE SAFE.
PERHAPS.
FOR HOW LONG?
WHY WORRY?
THEY DIDN'T FIND US.
THEY DIDN'T LOOK VERY HARD.
MAYBE THEY DIDN'T
BELIEVE THE SMALL ONE.
AND MAYBE THEY DID.
AND THEY'RE
JUST WAITING
UNTIL THERE'S
ENOUGH OF THEM
TO COME BACK
AND LOOK HARDER.
OR MAYBE
ALL WE SAW IS WHAT THERE IS,
THE ONE WITH THE WEAPON
AND THE SMALL ONES.
IF THERE ARE ANY MORE,
THEY'D HAVE COME AFTER US.
I REMEMBER
THOSE WEAPONS...
FROM THE CAMP.
I THINK WE SHOULD
GO BACK TO THE OTHERS.
THEY'RE DEPENDING ON US
TO GET FOOD.
WE CAN'T GO BACK EMPTY-HANDED.
WHAT IS IT?
FOOD...
COOKING OVER
AN OPEN FLAME.
SO THEY SIT THERE
EATING THEIR FILL
WHILE WE LOSE
OUR CHILDREN
TO STARVATION
AND DISEASE,
DISEASE THAT THEY
VISITED ON THIS PLANET.
GENERATIONS
OF OUR PEOPLE
HAVE SUFFERED
AT THEIR HAND.
I CAN'T BRING MY SON BACK,
BUT I CAN DO SOMETHING
IN HIS MEMORY.
I SAY WE GO IN, AND WE TAKE
WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS.
I'M SORRY
I LOST MY PATIENCE WITH YOU.
BUT YOU MUST LEARN
TO FOLLOW THE RULES.
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
MA'AL?
WHAT IS IT?
I WAS JUST WONDERING
ABOUT THE BEINGS.
GRANDFATHER SAID
THEY HAD TO
KILL THEM ALL BECAUSE
THEY WERE ATTACKING OUR PEOPLE.
YES.
BUT DIDN'T THEY LIVE HERE FIRST?
NOW WATCH THE DOOR.
IT'S SOUR.
BUT IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM.
( alarm sounding )
IT'S ONE OF THEM,
ISN'T IT?
HE MAY HAVE HAD HELP.
I'M GOING TO GO OUT
AND CHECK THE PROPERTY.
STAY HERE WITH MA'AL.
T'SHA, COME WITH ME.
I HEARD CALEB SCREAM.
HE MUST HAVE
TRIGGERED SOME DEVICE,
LIKE KNIVES
GOING THROUGH HIM.
WE MUST
GO FIND REBECCA.
SHE COULDN'T
MAKE IT OUT.
AND END UP LIKE CALEB?
I'LL TAKE
MY CHANCES.
THOSE TRAPS
COULD BE ANYWHERE.
THERE MUST BE A WAY
BACK INTO THAT FARM.
ALL RIGHT, YOU STAY
HERE WITH THE GIRL.
YOU'RE BRAVE,
BUT I DON'T THINK
ROCKS ARE A MATCH
FOR THEM.
STAY HERE
UNTIL I RETURN.
OKAY, OKAY.
WAIT!
( yelling
in alien language )
REBECCA!
THE ROCKS WOULD
HAVE SPRUNG IT
IF IT WAS WIRED.
COME ON, HURRY!
LOOK, I KNOW WE'RE ALL HUNGRY,
BUT WE HAVE TO SAVE SOME.
NO TELLING HOW LONG
IT'S GOING TO LAST US.
NOT FOR LONG.
WE MUST FIND A WAY
TO IMPROVE OUR ODDS NEXT TIME.
THERE WON'T BE A NEXT TIME.
THEY'LL BE WAITING FOR US.
WHAT ABOUT THE REST
OF OUR PEOPLE?
WE GOT TO GET THEM
SOME OF THIS FOOD.
IT'S POINTLESS.
THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT ALIVE
WHEN I SET OUT.
GO ON.
YOU NEED
YOUR STRENGTH.
BESIDES,
YOU EARNED IT.
THAT WAS
SMART OF YOU
TO USE THE ROCKS
TO SPRING THE TRAPS.
I KNOW I CAN'T
TAKE THE PLACE
OF YOUR MOTHER.
BUT I CAN BE YOUR FRIEND.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL HERE.
SEEMS LIKE
WE NEVER SAW THE SKY
WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAMP.
THE ELDERS USED TO TELL STORIES
ABOUT NIGHTS LIKE THIS...
WHEN THE STARS WERE OUT
AND THE WORLD WAS FULL OF HOPE.
PEOPLE ROAMED FREE AND HUNTED
AND COOKED GREAT FEASTS.
"TALI."
WHAT A LOVELY NAME.
TALI?
GOOD NIGHT...
...TALI.
( birds calling )
THE FOOD IS GONE AND SO IS RUTH.
SHE COULDN'T
HAVE TAKEN IT.
SHE WOULDN'T.
OH, WOULDN'T SHE?
WHO WAS ALWAYS AGAINST
RAIDING THE FARM?
WHO WAS ALWAYS SAYING
WE SHOULD TURN BACK?
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
WHERE WOULD SHE GO?
MAYBE TO THE ALIENS.
WHY? SHE'S
TERRIFIED OF THEM.
MAYBE SO TERRIFIED,
SHE THINKS THAT
GIVING HERSELF UP TO THEM
AND BETRAYING US
IS HER ONLY CHANCE.
WE GOT TO MOVE
BEFORE THEY FIND US.
MOVE? WHERE?
OR WE STRIKE NOW.
THE TWO OF US WITH
ROCKS AND STICKS
AGAINST TRAPS
AND BEAM WEAPONS?
THERE'S NO CHOICE!
WE'VE GOT NO FOOD!
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?
LOOK, I'M SORRY
WE'RE IN THIS MESS.
I'M SORRY
RUTH RAN OUT,
AND I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR SON.
BUT I'VE GOT TALI
TO THINK ABOUT NOW.
MAKING STUPID DECISIONS
ISN'T GOING TO HELP.
THEY KILLED ONE OF OURS.
I'M NOT SURE THAT WAS PLANNED.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
A TRAP FOR ANIMALS.
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TO THEM.
I THINK THEY'RE THE ANIMALS.
THE PROMISED LAND IS RIGHT HERE!
AS LONG AS IT'S WITHIN MY REACH,
I WON'T GO HUNGRY.
MAYBE THERE'S A WAY TO GET
WHAT WE WANT WITHOUT A WAR.
THERE'S BEEN TOO MUCH DYING.
( aliens speaking
in the distance )
WE DO NOT PRESUME
TO JUDGE THIS BEING.
WE BEAR HIM NO MALICE.
THEREFORE WE GRANT HIM A BURIAL
THE SAME
AS WE WOULD ONE OF OUR OWN.
MY GOD, IT'S CALEB.
AND WE GRANT HIM THE LIBERATION
OF HIS LIFE FORCE.
MAY HIS SPIRIT BE FREED.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
WHY NOW? WHY US?
BECAUSE WE'RE HERE,
AND WE HAVE WHAT THEY WANT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER,
YOU'VE ALWAYS TOLD US
THAT ALL THE BEINGS DIED.
WELL, IT SEEMS
I WAS MISTAKEN.
I APOLOGIZE.
APOLOGIZE?
FOR WHAT?
YOU KNEW ABOUT THEM, DIDN'T YOU?
THAT'S WHY
YOU BELIEVED MA'AL.
THAT'S WHY YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN SURPRISED
BY ANY OF THIS.
I KNEW THERE WERE LABOR CAMPS
FROM THE WAR DAYS
PRODUCING FUEL
FOR THE SHIPS.
I KNEW
THAT SOME OF THE BEINGS WERE
KEPT ALIVE TO WORK IN THEM.
BUT THE CAMPS CLOSED
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
NOT ALL OF THEM.
WHY WOULD ANYONE
KEEP THE CAMPS GOING
AFTER THE ARMY MOVED ON?
THE WARS THEY WERE USING
THE SLAVE LABOR FOR
ENDED LONG BEFORE
I WAS EVEN BORN.
THE CAMPS WERE AUTOMATED,
RUN BY ANDROIDS.
THEY WERE PROGRAMMED
TO...DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS
ONCE THE CAMPS BECAME OBSOLETE.
YOU MEAN...KILL ALL THE BEINGS?
SOME OF THEM
MUST HAVE SURVIVED SOMEHOW.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?
OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS
BELIEVED THE RECORD-KEEPERS
DIDN'T TELL US THE WHOLE STORY
ABOUT OUR LANDING
ON THIS PLANET.
THEY BELIEVED
OUR SHIPS
ATTACKED WITHOUT WARNING.
THEY DEFIED GOVERNMENT ORDERS
BY TRYING
TO HIDE THE BEINGS
AND HELP THEM ESCAPE.
THIS WAS THEIR PENANCE.
AND NOW IT'S OURS.
YOU KNEW ALL THIS,
AND YOU NEVER
TOLD ANYONE?
WHAT GOOD
WOULD IT HAVE DONE?
BUT I CAN
PROMISE YOU THIS.
THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST
WILL NOT BE REPEATED.
THE BEINGS HAVE
CAUSED US ONLY PAIN.
I WILL
DEFEND THIS FAMILY,
WHATEVER THE COST.
( alarm sounding )
GO BACK TO THE HOUSE.
PROTECT THE BOYS.
PSST!
GO ON!
GET OUT OF HERE!
RUTH?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
WE GOT TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
TAKE THE FOOD AND GO.
I CAN'T LEAVE YOU HERE.
I'LL STAY WITH HIM.
YOU GO.
I'LL DRAW THEM AWAY.
TAKE THE FOOD AND GO.
GO! GO!
( yelling in alien language )
OH, TALI, THANK GOD!
NO!
TALI.
THE BEING, MOTHER...
THE SMALLER ONE
LIKE ME.
DID I KILL HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT
YOU SAVED
YOUR BROTHER'S LIFE.
YOU SHOULD
BE VERY PROUD.
HOW IS IT, MA'AL?
I'M FINE, GRANDFATHER.
WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED,
SECURE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS.
T'SHA AND I WILL
GO OUT BACK
AND GUARD THE BARN.
THEY'LL GO AFTER
THE FOOD SUPPLY.
WHAT IF
WE GAVE THEM FOOD?
MAYBE THEY'D GO AWAY.
THEY'LL NEVER GO AWAY.
( whimpering )
SHH.
YOU THINK THE WORST OF ME.
WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I THINK?
I WAS AFRAID.
CAN'T YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT?
I DIDN'T THINK.
I JUST TOOK THE FOOD AND RAN.
BUT I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE.
NO?
NO.
THEN YOU'RE NOT JUST A TRAITOR.
YOU'RE ALSO STUPID.
DAVID, WAIT!
GET AWAY FROM ME!
NO!
STOP IT!
STOP IT!
BOTH OF YOU!
TALI IS FIGHTING
FOR HER LIFE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING
FIGHTING AMONG OURSELVES?
WE BROKE AWAY FROM THE CAMPS
SO OUR CHILDREN COULD LIVE FREE.
SO HELP ME,
IF TALI SURVIVES THIS,
THAT'S THE LIFE SHE WILL HAVE.
I'M NOT WILLING TO JUST SURVIVE.
I'M GOING BACK OVER THAT FENCE.
AND I DON'T JUST WANT THE FOOD.
I WANT JUSTICE.
MOTHER!
LOOK.
HERE THEY COME.
( speaking alien language )
DAVID.
NO.
RUTH.
WHAT MERCY
DID YOU SHOW MY PEOPLE?
MY SON WHO DIED
IN YOUR PRISON CAMP?
( whispering in alien language )
IT'S HEALING ME.
MAYBE IT JUST
NEEDS MORE TIME.
KRENN!
OH, THANK YOU.
( control voice )
IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT
MYSTERIES OF EXISTENCE
HOW THE SMALLEST DROP
OF UNDERSTANDING
CAN CLEANSE
A SEA OF MISTRUST AND HATE.
