♪ ( birds chirping ) ( howling ) ( man )savan! uri has ordered usto turn back. savan! age has made himtoo cautious. he's my father,i can speak of him as i wish. when you're chief,you'll want respect.
it's not justa matter of respect. now stay close, and tonight, yomak, you'll feast onthe heart with me. are you deaf, savan? we do not separate,ever. you may not agreewith my methods-- we haven't hadfresh meat in weeks. roots and berries are notenough for us.
you've got a lotto learn, savan. i've proved myself the besthunter in this tribe. hunting is notjust about courage. you got to beclever, too. we are not the onlypredators out here. we are tired of being hungry. let me lead this huntand we will make our kill, and tonight the village willhave reason to celebrate. and the women willshow their gratitude.
( all laughing ) very well, savan, lead. follow me. watch for my signal. shh... kaleb? what's it to be then, roast kalebor boil kaleb? you belong with the women,not with the hunt.
it's ahead,i've tracked it. tracked what? the deadly blueberry? enough. that's beyond ourhunting grounds. you know that.it's out there, right in front of us,only 200 paces. this is as faras we go. we alreadypushed our luck.
it's too dangerous. maybe if we're quick. ( growling in distance ) 200 paces, that's it. ( growling ) ( bellowing ) i tracked it! tracking's one thing,bringing it down is another. stay back or you'llonly get hurt.
( men screaming ) ( roaring ) ( men shouting ) ( squealing ) ( shouting ) ( screaming ) ( man )evan, go cutthe heart out! ( man )yeah, cut it out! the honor of today's huntis savan's
and kaleb's. you will sharethe heart tonight. it was my kill! your blow brought it down, but it was kaleb's skillsthat led us here. is that not so? ( man )savan... yomak? help me!
no, stay back,all of you! he's been bitten! savan... kill me, savan. don't let it take me. please! ( groaning ) please! no!
i'll kill you! i'll kill all of you!- don't do this! we can't stay here!- i won't run! do you want tokill us too? we can't beat them! they killed him! ( woman )savan! dorel.finally. tonight we feast!
we lost yomak today. he was bitten. kaleb! you don'tstand a chance! what? oh, come on. you can't keep secretsfrom your sister. i know you like dorel. well, you never know.
maybe doreldoesn't want to marry a... tall, handsomefuture chief. yomak's dead. it was my fault. what happened? i led them beyondour hunting grounds. he was attacked by beasts. ( uri )the beasts are here. it's only a matter of timebefore they find us.
we must leave grey rock. you saw themwith your own eyes? yomak was bitten. that's alli needed to see. uri, we've been safehere all this time. did you go beyondour hunting grounds? the tribe needed meat. there was none here. we have no choice,we have to leave.
and go where? there is nowhere else. we are the lastsurvivors of man. god chose us and led usto grey rock and kept us safehere for generations. are we to doubt him now? we should not run or wait forthem to come. we should fight.
( uri )there are too many to fight, and you know the consequencesif we do, or have you forgottenabout yomak already? then we should continue tolive like cowards. be carefulwhat you say, savan. if it's god's will that they mustfind us here, then we mustaccept our fate. the beasts are a judgmentagainst us,
a punishment forthe sins of our fathers. was it god's will thatmy friend should die? why can't we chooseour own fate? ( uri )hold your tongue. you've got no businesshere, kaleb. my fatherspoke of other tribes. your father didn't listento the elders and sufferedthe same fate as any man who goes beyond ourhunting grounds.
he went to look fora better life... for us all. what kind of a manabandons his children? he sought the truth. our laws arethe only truth. ( uri )he's right, kaleb. there's nothing out therebut disease and death. ( man )as you have seen today. the elders willdiscuss this.
savan, for your disrespect, you will takeguard duty tonight. the two of you will forfeitthe heart of the sloth to the elders. why'd you get yourself intotrouble on father's account? should i notquestion them? kaleb, it is the elderswho have kept us safe, not our father. they don't like to bequestioned.
anyway,it doesn't matter now. he's not coming back. he alwayscame back before. yeah, well,not this time. it's been almost threeyears, kaleb. i've had enough of livingin hiding, miru. i want to knowwhat's out there. don't leave me, kaleb. you're the onlyfamily i have.
then come with me. kaleb, listento the elders. there is no one elseout there. that's what they believe. what about all the thingshe brought back? things from the old world. those people diedmany years ago. it doesn't prove anything. he told mehe'd met others,
talked to others. yeah? where are they? why haven't they come? why hasn't he come? well, i willcome back, miru. i promise. ( bird chirping ) beasts!
( women screaming ) ( man )beasts! protect the cave! ( woman screaming ) go to the cave! go to the back cave! ( grunting ) ( shrieking ) father!
come on! there's too many! savan, what do we do? savan?use the trees! circle the beasts! go! close the cave! into the cave! miru!
everyone in the cave! get into the cave, miru! kaleb!miru! get into the cave! everybody,get in here now! quickly! that's it. okay. close it!
if you don't do it,we all die! do it now! but others arestill out there! do it!( screaming ) dorel. are you okay? how many? too many. we have to distract them,
get them awayfrom the cave. then what? you have a better idea? go for help. from where? you're rantingjust like your father. there maybe peoplewho can help us. the elders neverspoke of anyone else. the elders are trappedin the cave!
those beasts will not give upuntil they are all dead. we are their onlychance to survive. we should go to the mountains,look for other tribes. there are beastsin the mountains. there are beastsright here! shouldn'twe at least try? i'm not gonna run away. what if kaleb's right? what if thereare others?
if he is right, then everything we haveever been told is a lie. do you really take hisword over the elders, and the generationof elders before them? but if we stay hereand fight the beasts alone, we will die, and so willour tribe. and so will you. come on. one day.
you've got one day to findsome other people, then dorel and iare turning back. kaleb, what is this? it's a book. what do you dowith it? it's from the past. people used to put theirthoughts and ideasin books like this. after the disease came,
everyone was too busytrying to survive. books died. where did youget this book? my fatherbrought it back. he taught me to read. read? to know whatthe pages are saying. "monday morning tom sawyerfelt miserable--" your fatherhas corrupted you.
we don't have timefor this. which is whywe kept it a secret. ( twigs snapping ) go, go! ( beast grunting ) ( dorel screaming ) wait, wait! ( dorel )kill it! kill it!
it's my father! your father's gone,that's not him! it's all right. it wasn't yourfather anymore. kaleb was right. how... how do you know my name? i've been watching youfor a long time. you can read?
like your father. you know my father? i knew him. it was his wishthat i made sure no harm came to you. were you bitten?what? did it bite you? no. no bleedingthrough the nose?
what do you mean? no.- we're not infected, if that's what you're asking. oh, yes, you are. a mutant has only to breatheon you to infect you. the bite isjust quicker. there's still time. but there will be moreof them, so follow me. you're lying.
there's nothingwrong with us. your mouth will go dry, then your thirst will beunquenchable. your lungs will tighten. your nose will bleedand your eyes will sting, then your heartwill race. now follow me. ( savan )if we're infected,why did you get so close? i'm immune.
what's immune? i can't catchthe disease. how is that possible? the cure is a powder,a yellow powder. there wasn't much of it, and what little is leftwill be hard to get. we have water,but there's no food. ( beasts growling ) don't worry.
they can't get in. yeah, but won't they leave? they know we're here. they won't stop. they want to killlike rabid dogs. then we must pray... put ourselvesin god's hands. we must have faith. gather aroundand let us pray.
oh, lord, be with us and protect usfrom this evil... are you taking us tothe yellow powder? we must firstgo to my home. there are things we needto pick up. how come the beasts haven'tfound you out here? they're frightenedof water. helps keep them at bay. they'll nevercross this water.
did you build this? from the old world. i just patched it up. ( man )neenah. we have visitors. why? he is jaret's son. he doesn't belong here. they need our help.
their village wasattacked by mutants. you brought infected peoplehere, to our home? they weren't bitten. they still havesome time. neenah! he can read. i don't care! how can you beso reckless? don't you seewhat this means?
it means you'veput us in danger! look at him. he's a boy. how can he dowhat jaret did? it's worth the risk. this is our son, persk. it's been a while sincehe's seen others. hi, i'm dorel. persk...
the beasts have gone. i wouldn't be so sure. it's so quiet. open up. don't touch the door. there might be othersurvivors from our tribe out there who needour help. no one else survived, and neither will weif we open this door.
kaleb is not dead. i'm sorry, miru. he isn't dead! ( growling in the distance ) neenah. neenah, don't be angry. i'm scared, amal. i know what you'regoing to do. for what?
if kaleb can dowhat his father did, think what thatwould mean. but for youto go back there... you were so lucky to get outthe last time. and think of persk. why should he have togrow up in a world where peoplelive in hiding? it's been good enoughfor us. we're happy here,aren't we?
but what abouthis children, and the otherswho are out there? they'll never be safe unless we can learn tomake the powder. are we going tolook persk in the eye and tell him we nevertook the one chance that came our way? ( amal )what did your elders teachyou about the disease? that god created it aspunishment for man's sins.
the old world wasfull of greed and men created machinesthat got out of control and theymeddled with nature, and only god couldstop them. men were trying toperfect their own design. they found a way to bring extinct animalsback to life like the mammothand sloth that you hunt, but their science alsobrought us the disease.
it wasn't long beforethe whole world was infected. the disease ate intothe human brain, turning men into mutants. how do you knowall of this? because i met kaleb's father. jaret had the courage tolook for the old knowledge. he found out whatreally happened. it was your father,kaleb, who discovered the cure.
the yellow powder? it took himmany years to find the right mixture ofplants and fungus. once you inhalethe powder... you're protected. what if you alreadyhave... the disease? once you have turned,then the powder is useless. but if you get it in time,then there is still hope. so why didn't my fatherbring the powder home?
he was doing just thatwhen he died and the secret ofthe powder that died with him. but you kept the powder. so you're safe,while we-- the powder was stolen, and it will be hardto get it back. but you'll help us try? yes. if we can keepkaleb alive...
he will be able tocarry on his father's work. ( amal )they're all fromthe old world. my father would often disappearfor months at a time. he told me that out there wereanswers to all our questions. i now understandhis fascination. your father hadthis on him when he died. he said there'd bemore adventures. i've only read one book. how will i ever unlock thesecret of the yellow powder?
you're the only onewho can read, kaleb. but if we find the powderthat exists... we only needenough for our people. your father risked everythingteaching you to read and leavingthe safety of his tribe. now... i'm riskingeverything. saving justa few people is not an option. perhaps our prayers arebeing answered, yisir.
( all murmuring ) what are we waiting for? that is not god's way. shouldn't we at least try? we will not scurry intothe bowels of the earth like animalsas our forefathers did! they were punishedfor their sins! would god punish usfor trying to survive? we must havefaith and courage
and wait for thisevil to pass. if i'd have hadenough courage, i would havelistened to kaleb. here, let me help. ( moaning ) we should wake them. give themone last chance. they've madetheir choice. it's time to go.
uh, we're ready to leave. washing my hair'sa simple thing, but it makesme feel better. amal expects me toperform miracles. well, you were the onewho sought the knowledge of the old world. yeah, and the truth. savan stillisn't convinced. do not judge him.
all these thingswe never knew have shatteredeverything that we believe in. he finds it hardto accept. savan will bea good chief. he's braveand he's up to the challenge. so you don't think i am? we'll soon find out. ( amal )okay, persk,take care of your mom. how deep do youthink it is?
the ceiling's gone. it could've blockedthe whole tunnel. no, it can't have. i can stillfeel a breeze. ( man )well, you only needa small gap for that. what are you doing? if it's a small gap, you need a small personto fit through it. that will stayon top of the water?
it will. as long as you stay on,you'll be safe. jump. it's okay i'm walking on water. it floats. the river will lead usto the yellow powder. that's a paddle. use both hands.
here, let me show you. good. i think she's okay. it's okay! there's a way through! give me your hand! ( screaming )miru!- take my hand. there's somethingin the water!miru! there's somethingin the water!
what is it? get them off me! get them off!- it's okay. get them off! hey, miru, it's okay,i'm getting them off. it's all right,it's all right. i think they'reall gone. do we look foranother way? we've come too far.
all right,when i go through, just get them offme fast, okay? ooh! paddle!- get in the middle! the middle,row to the middle! ( coughing ) i fear they willnever leave. let's hope the others aren'tpunished for their doubts. ( grunting in distance )
( amal )there was a group of us, a brotherhood, that wasformed to help protect eachtribe from the mutants. after jaretdiscovered the powder, we thought if we could immunizeenough tribes people couldcome out of hiding, start to rebuildthe world. we were betrayed... by one of our own.
a man called gagenstole the powder. won't he help us if hesees that we're sick? ( chuckling ) you don't know this man. he turned an islandinto a fortress-- his empire. gagen hashordes of followers who will kill for the chance to inhalethe yellow powder...
... and kill they do. those leech bitesreally sting. yeah, well, not as muchas a beast bite. if you put it that way,i'm beginning to enjoy it. ( man )over here! looks like we got ourmiracle after all. half a miracle. we've stillgot to climb it. i'll go first.
were you bitten? did they claw you? we were fighting. i don't know! maybe being closeis all it takes. we don't know that. yeah, but if it is,then we're all infected. then we're allgonna turn. okay, we betterget going.
right. let's finishwhat we started! you know that kaleb mustfind his father's work. above all else. do you understand? ( dorel )kaleb. i never thanked you. for saving my lifeback at the village, after the attack.
i haven't savedanyone yet. well, you saved me,so thank you. oh, no, no, no. go down, go down! get down! down, quickly! ( all grunting ) go on! leave me!
evan, i'll carry you. you two canstill get out of here. i'm dead either way! move! ( man )up here! ( evan )no, no! when the old world died,how many survived? it's impossible to say. each of the brotherhood camefrom a tribe of 60 or 70.
are they allstill out there? scattered, staying hidden. we set up these beaconsas a warning system. a beacon is lit,help will come. that's the theory. let's see who's upfor the fight. ( gasping ) run! what did he say?
mutants! run!to the raft! oh! ( amal yelling ) ( bird squawking ) we have to go back! ( savan )no, he's finished! we can'tjust leave him. we have to go.no!
where are you going? get to the raft, dorel! without amal?- come on! ( kaleb )but what aboutthe brotherhood?! he lit the beacon! he said otherswould come. he said they might come. do you want to waitalong with the beasts? the river's ouronly chance.
the yellow powder'sour only chance. ( horse neighing ) ( baby crying ) if this is to be our time, let us leavethis world together. we tried. i never understoodyour father before. he would beproud of you. is it just us?
let's hope not. have you seen amal? well, this ishis beacon. he must be here. ( man )hey! who's that?- well, that's not him. that's garthand his brother. how are you feeling? have we gone too far?
maybe we passed itin the night. i don't think so. here! over here! ( amal grunting ) give me a hand. i wonder how many peoplelived in a village like this? let's find this gagenand get the powder. but there'sonly three of us.
i won't give hima choice. if we can't reason with him,we'll fight him. we can't fight him,savan. we don't have to. we'll convince him we havesomething he needs. what's the problem? i saw you! thief! please...
please, i won't do itagain. i promisei won't do it again. please?you won't. who are you? ( kaleb )it's all right. we're not with them. we came downthe river. then you've gotthe disease. leave me alone.
we came forthe yellow powder. we all came forthe yellow powder. how do we find it? you find it. do you knowa man called gagen? uh... gagen... savan, let him go. ( savan )stop!
i only want toask you a question. jaret's son, kaleb... he can read. his village wasattacked by mutants. there are survivors,trapped. kaleb and two others have gone to getthe yellow powder. against gagen? gagen's forcesare too strong for us.
this boy... he could be the saviorof mankind. it's too risky. is that notworth the risk? we're all immune,and so are our tribes. not your children'schildren. we have nopowder to give them. what about their future? or the others,way beyond our lands?
and the yellow powder,we could come out of hiding and join forces againstthe mutants. this could beour last chance. let go of me! bring them. sir. we do not recognize them, so we think they mightbe infected. we've come herefor the yellow powder.
i know why you're here. you're wastingyour time, giselle. she's stilla human being. not for much longer. my daughter isa compassionate soul. i'm afraid she doesn'tget it from me. i can't help you. get them off my islandbefore they turn. i've come here tohelp you, gagen.
i didn't knowi needed help. when you tookthe yellow powder, you must've known it wouldn'tlast forever. the powder was a gift. it was given to me. a gift from a dying man. that man wasmy father. your father was jaret? the one who discoveredthe yellow powder.
his dying wish wasthat it benefits everyone, not be hoardedby one man. is that true? my father could read. so can i. i don't believe you. hey! "for abraham lincoln, "there was no...
"satisfaction over hisvictory... "for he hadinherited a country... that was tearingitself apart." i've come to carryon my father's work. i can make the yellow powder. give us some of yoursso that i will live, let us takesome to our village, then i'll make youas much as you need. if i fail, you can kill me.
you're dying already,you'll say anything. first, prove what you say and i'll give youthe powder. we don't have enough time. well, then,you better be quick. what yellow powder remains isfor my children's children. outsiders canstay on the island. we'll protect themfrom the mutants, but they must work.
we've seen them work. unless, of course,they're infected, and then i offerthem a quick death, a courtesy i'll extend to youand your friend when the time comes. if it wasn't for hisfather, we'd all be dead. let them have someof the powder.( gagen ) giselle. enough! take him into the library andyou know what to do with her.
was he telling the truth? did you stealthe yellow powder? it wasn't his fatherwho kept us alive. it was me. there just wasn't enough. did you steal it? you think i'm a tyrant? i kept us safe. one day, you will havechildren...
... and youwill understand. ( muffled screaming ) i know you want tohelp us. i'm notgonna hurt you. all right? show me wherethe powder is. i can't betray my father. how many hashe betrayed? your friendsaid he could make more.
maybe, eventually,but he's just stalling. i'm sorry. i can't.- then you're killing us and all that'sleft of my tribe. is that what you want? i've spent my entire life clinging toa small patch of rock, thinking we werethe only ones left, but there could be thousandsof survivors out there,
and they deservethe chance you've been given. i'll take you to wherethe powder is kept, but it won'tdo you any good. where do i start? it's in there. but we need the key, which is aroundmy father's neck. always. when is the last timehe got some powder?
um... yesterday. then this isn'twhere he keeps it. this door hasn't beenopened in a long time. it doesn't make sense. wheneverhe comes out of here, he always has the powder. this is allmy father's work. you really don't knowwhat you're doing. i can do this,just not quickly.
it could take weeks. if gagen give us enoughpowder for our tribe, i'll come back and makehim as much as he needs. only to find out thishas all been a ruse. you're out of time. somebody,end this, please! remi, do something! he's an elder. i can't.
( screaming )( gasping ) when it's time... i hope you dothe same for me. as i thought. give me the powder. where do i drawthe line? hmm? you know how many people haveasked me for the same thing? you know i can do this.
or is that whatyou're afraid of? to lose your hold onall these people? ( giselle )father! there's someonein the safe room, searching for the powder. don't kill him! when i tell you,take a deep breath. okay? ready?( inhaling )
give it a few minutes. dorel doesn't havea few minutes.okay, okay. take me to her. open the door! i wouldn'tgo in there. she's starting to turn. she needs more water. breathe. dorel...
breathe! ( inhaling ) okay, come on. okay, let's go, babe. you shouldcome with us. i don't want to leavethe island. your father? he'll forgive youfor helping us? it's youhe'll be after.
this is the future ofmy people, too. tell kalebto keep his promise and continue hisfather's work. thank you. ( gagging ) ( kaleb coughing ) he has to breathe it in. get it in front ofhis face! he's not breathing.
watch out. kaleb, can you hear me? kaleb, we have the powder,but we have to leave now. ( man )stop! stop them! this way, go. ( man )this way, hurry! ( man )they're headinginto the forest! ( man )they're getting away!
move it!( man )kill them! i'll drive them away. no, savan! i'll catch up. after 'em! ( seagulls squawking ) ( savan )let's go! did you lose them? they'll want theirpowder back.
we can'tgo back upriver. we'll be fightingthe current. we'll have to go inland. how will wefind our way back? we have kaleb. he's a good tracker. they've gone overland. they're still alive. they must havethe powder.
over there. keep going. gagen. kaleb... can you run? kaleb, if you canget to the grey rock, start picking the beasts offfrom the tree line. it's not much, but itmight give you a chance. kaleb must survive.
i'm not leavingwithout you. no!i'm the chief. do as i say. savan, savan! run, dorel! go back! we can't stop now. ( horse whinnying ) amal!
have you gotthe powder? yeah.yeah. then let's get itto your people. ( horses neighing ) remi, please. please,you have to help me! you have to, please!no! please end this now. please!no, i can't.
end it, remi, please! please! i can't take it,please! ( all growling ) let me in! it's dorel! give them the powder. i need youto do it. i can't stand it.
help me. i've got the cure. do it! okay, sit her up. okay, miru, listen to me. take...take a deep breath.( inhaling ) miru? she's alive. i want my powder!
( amal )it's not yours. it never was. it was for my people. ready? close your mouth. good, okay,you can lie back. you're back! i promised, didn't i? let's get youout of here.
he should'vereturned by now. i don't thinkhe's coming back. hmm... we should gather our men. no more vengeance. would your father havewanted that? to him,the powder was a weapon... ... when really,it is a cure. you're sure about this?
i'm sure about this. to continue my father's work,i have to go back. take care. and you. bye. ( children )"a"... "b"...( miru )what's after "b"? "c"...very good. "d"...
see you. take care ofyourself, okay? yeah, you, too,brother. bye, persk.
