Beast of the Water (2018)
[screaming]
[moaning] [men screaming] [men grunting] Halt! We claim this land. It's ours. You still think that praying to this dead tree is going to save you? You're wrong, savage, 'cause this is our land now. Do you have any idea what we've gone through to get here? I lost my wife and son in a rockslide crossing the Monongahela. I lost everything to get here! Do you hear me? This is our land now! [men] Yeah! Our land. Our land! This is our land! Man claims to have what he cannot own. He places his faith in fire and death, where no seed can grow. But nature is balance, day and night, fire and water. You will find balance. [screaming] [thunderclap] [fire creaking] [screaming] [men screaming] [men screaming] [Enuattii grunting] [grunting] [grunting] [moaning] Most people hear the word "extinct" and immediately associate it with dinosaurs, but it applies to humans and our cultures as well. I'm afraid that the next species to fall victim to extinction will be aging professors. [chuckles] Okay, let's come at this from a different direction. The stories surrounding the Ininkwe people are those legends, myths, monsters and folklore. Some scholars argue the validity of their very existence, and that, of course, is attributed to the fact that there's very little evidence that indicates they ever did. However, three hours south of this university is the place where we believe, the Ininkwe made home, and for the past two decades, I have researched and studied this area for signs, evidence. Have you ever found any? Evidence, I mean. Uh, not much. Materially, anyway. However, science has given us some answers... Answers that have led to other questions, but answers nonetheless. This indigenous tribe was on the verge of becoming a flourishing civilization. They were in many ways advanced and believed that the land endorsed their existence, and they also believed that their youth would be replenished by [speaking foreign language] Which translates to "magic waters." Now, unfortunately, much like the Mayans, the Ininkwe people disappeared without a trace, a whole tribe gone, almost forgotten. Scholars have been arguing a few years over what could have caused the disappearance of yet another thriving people. I would like to hear some of your theories. What about you, Mike? Uh, my guess would be aliens. [everybody laughing] Well, it's nice to see you all are still awake. Uh, actually, many scholars would argue that Mike is correct. Not aliens from outer space per se, but foreign invasion, forced removal. Mass genocide. These living waters, are they anything like the Fountain of Youth? It is indeed. Isn't the Fountain of Youth bullshit? [everybody chuckling] Some people think so. What do you believe, Dr. Grey? I believe in possibilities. Okay, that's all I have for you today. Try to get through Calloway by Monday. [video chat ringtone sound] Hello, Monica. Good morning, Walter. How was your class this morning? Oh, like any other day, although I don't think anyone fell asleep today. [laughing] It sounds riveting. [Dr. Grey] It was. How are you? I'm great. I wanted to let you know that I may have some good news soon. Riley called this morning to say that he found something interesting in the samples that you brought back from site three. Oh, did he mention what? Not yet but I'm heading over to the lab soon. Well, let's hope it's something solid. The days are coming to an end, we could sure use it. Have you heard anything about the grant? No, still nothing. [Monica] Well, don't lose hope. Never. We're close. I'm just not sure how much longer our funding is gonna hold up. The board is becoming impatient. I believe in what we're doing. [Dr. Grey] I know you do. How is Alan? Alan is... fine, I'm sure. There must be a story in those pauses. Alan and I decided to keep things simple. Ah, I had a feeling that might be the case. Not that it's any of my business, but don't wait until you become my age before realizing what could have been. I know real when I see it. I'll keep that in mind. Do let me know what Riley discovered in the lab. [Monica] Will do. Okay, take care. Bye, Walter. [suspenseful music] [gurgling sound] Riley, how is this happening? I have no idea. Are these all from the same sample? Yes, 3D7. It's one of the samples Dr. Grey brought back from his expedition in the forest. But even if they were from different samples, Monica, the molecules would average out. They would all reach one pH and that would be relatively stable. Where did it finish up? The most acidic reading I got was 2.71, and the most basic was 15.66. But that's... Impossible, I know. Okay, well what impurities did you find in the sample? That's the other thing, not one. It's pure H2O, chemically speaking at least. No bacteria, no algae, no particulates of any kind. It's remarkable really. Not only is it remarkable, it's impossible, chemically at least. I mean, coming from a source out in the woods, all of the other collections were their own little ecosystems. What about the other samples in the lot? Only 3D7 reacted this way. We have to tell Dr. Grey about this. He may have actually found his legendary Ininkwe, Fountain of Youth. So, we are in possession of 60 milliliters of magic lightning in a bottle? Wherever he got this sample, we need to duplicate these results. If we can do that, it'll change everything we know about science. Help me understand your story. [tribal music] [door opens] Been at it all night again, huh? I'm afraid so. [Monica] Well, we've got good news for you. I could use it. Come in, come in. Hi, Walter. Hi. Afternoon, Dr. Grey. She calls me Walter, you can call me Walter. I'll try, it just feels a little weird. Because I'm old? No, no, no, no, it's just because you're... Old! [everybody laughing] It's okay. I may look old, but I'm happy because I've done a much better job of wasting my youth than you are. Young Riley, good to see you. - Hi, Dr. Grey. - Hello. Walter, Riley's... I was just about to make lunch, who's hungry? I could eat. What made you test the pH of the water in the first place? Oh, that's just a standard test. We pop an acidity meter in every sample before we put it under the microscope, and when the needle didn't rest on number but it kept fluctuating, I thought something was wrong with the equipment. I'm so glad that's not what it was. We did a litmus test and then another, and this is what we found. Amazing. Most of the biggest scientific discoveries happen by accident. This is no accident. Look, I'm sure you're all aware that I go before the university research board tomorrow hat in hand to extend our study grant. Once they understand the potential of this discovery, they can't say no, because, well, we've never seen anything like this Walter, ever. I just hope they'll listen. [Dr. Grey] Respectfully, ladies and gentlemen, this is a big mistake. There is new research... We are sorry to say, Dr. Grey. We simply do not see the need for these anthropological expeditions of yours anymore. My colleagues Dr. Williams and Dr. Warner just yesterday gave me... Dr. Grey, you have yet to show any real improvements with your research. We had such high hopes. Those high hopes are on the verge of being realized, if you would just look at the data. Too much time has passed, too much money wasted. The Ininkwe legends tell of them harnessing healing water. This could be a great find for Humanity. Our decision stands. [suspenseful music] They just do not understand, do they, Dr. Grey? Perhaps it's time we continued our conversation? Anya Anderson, Director of Intellectual Property Acquisition for AESIV. We're prepared to begin as soon as you say the word. [sighs] Well, that was a waste. Well, it's not how I hoped it would happen, but here's to the next step forward. A toast to the Ininkwe, to finding the secret of the living water, to the betterment of mankind, to life. [all] To life. It feels kind of lame toasting with soda. After your next birthday, we'll blow it out. Promise. I was approached by AESIV several years back. At the time, they were strictly a biotech pharma concern. They wanted to fund my anthropological research hoping that the legendary living waters of the Ininkwe were rich in minerals that they could make into cosmetics or tonics or drugs to fight disease. This is so exciting. We're gonna change the world. You've all signed your contracts. So, while we're waiting for AESIV to set up your lab, you all are welcome to make yourselves at home here, come and go as you please, "mi casa es su casa". Are you sure you want to go back up there by yourself? I won't be by myself. I'm meeting a team at AESIV headquarters who will escort me to the site and service my assistance in gathering more samples from site 2. Site 2? I thought you said you ruled out site 2. I have but they don't know that. I promise I will ditch my companions and come back with a nice large sample from 3D7, but I'm still feeling out our friends that I serve. I mean, we've all been a team for a while. I would trust you three with my life. AESIV, well, I'm just being cautious. [Dr. Grey] AESIV's last annual report reveals a very different company. They've diversified. Genetic engineering, petrochemicals, and avionics. It seems like nowadays, if it can be weaponized, AESIV has little interest. Weaponized? I just think we have to be very sure of what we're dealing with before we share any of our findings with our new employers. I mean, this is like an amateur athlete getting a corporate sponsor, and they want us to succeed, don't they? Well, of course they do. The question is why? [Monica] In this area, it goes well below freezing in the winter, and about 35 degrees Celsius midsummer. So, I think it's important to see if the changes in weather has any effect on the rate of pH mutation. We're gonna need to get some high-quality electron microscopes as soon as we get back to AESIV labs so we can see what's really going on at the atomic level with these molecules. [video chat ringtone sound] Hey, it's Dr. Grey. [whispering] Hello. Monica? Hi, Walter. How are you? The trip is good for the soul, but hell on my knees. How are you all? Settling in? Yeah, we're all doing great here. It's like a study session back in undergrad. I'm crunching data, and Monica and Riley are planning experiments. Hi, Dr. Grey! Well, listen, I can't talk long. I've got something extraordinary to show you. [whispering] I found this. Is that what I think it is, Walter? An intact artifact? [whispering] Whole and perfect. What a find. [whispering] I think it's all coming together, weird science and our first solid tangible evidence of the Ininkwe people. This totem was described by the Cherokee, but we've never found one. So this links the Living Waters and the Ininkwe settlements' as history, not legend. That's one step closer to the Fountain of Youth. [whispering] We're close to all of it. You understand? [pounding] Walter? [whispering] Past the waterfall, west of the mirror, beneath where history becomes legend. [normal voice] Yes, the weather seems to be turning bad on our end here today. [whispering] I've already said too much. [normal voice] I'll see you in a couple of days. [whispering] Take care. He found it. He really found it. I mean, he's got to be so excited. [laughs] Yeah, but did he look okay to you? With all this cloak-and-dagger evasive... I don't know. Well, look, you trust him, right? Of course, I trust him. I wouldn't be who or where I am if it wasn't for Walter. Well, if you trust him, trust him. It just seems like he was trying to say something else. What did he mean by "the mirror?" I don't know. I've been trying to figure out Walter Grey riddles for 15 years. He's... Eccentric? Let me go see if he left anything in his office about it. Alan? I have a bad feeling. [doorbell rings] Did you guys order a pizza? Can I help you? Hello. Dr. Williams, I'm Anya Anderson, AESIV's Director of Intellectual Property Acquisition. What can we do for you, Ms. Anderson? And what's with the entourage? Oh, that's an AESIV corporate security detail. They're highly trained experts specialized in the protection of AESIV's personnel. We don't need a security detail. We're not in any danger? No. Of course you're not. But just like Dr. Grey, you'll be going up to the Ininkwe site, and it's against AESIV's policy to travel unattended with corporate intellectual property, so... So, uh, what did they sort out? Harris is going to put Bateman on bus driver duty. Shit, man, I heard that dude. I don't want to be a nanny for these freaking guys, anyway, you know? Hell, no! That's for the new recruits. Besides, we're taking the Express route in. All right, cool. Now was it me or did I see you still carrying that assault? Shit, shut up, man, what, you still got your peashooter, or what? Of course. Anyway, man, so how was Thailand? Puerto Rico. Shit. Whatever, man. You probably still chasing the ladyboys down there too, huh? Oh, yeah, and they're asking about you, too. Shut up, I bet they were. [Anya] You three will be going up to the site tomorrow. This is Harris. He's in charge of your detail, and commanding officer of your mission. Febles, Torres. Nice to meet you all. Miss Anderson, with all due respect, I think this is a little overkill. My job is to protect the company's interests, its employees, its networks, its facilities and its finances. Do you understand that? [Anya] Have I made that absolutely clear to you? I protect all of the company's intellectual property, and I will use whatever resources I deem necessary. The detail will guide you to the site and assist you in gathering all the necessary information you find on your excursion. I am not prepared to go to the site. I don't have a change of clothes, I don't have tools or anything. We'll allow you to go home. You may pack your bag. The detail will organize provisions, accommodations. [Anya] And you'll meet here tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock. Just relax. Consider it a business trip. [sighs] Care to share? [Monica] Not really. Look, Dr. Grey can take care of himself, all right? Ms. Anderson said that we would rendezvous with him in the field tomorrow, so... That's what bothers me. What do you mean? I don't trust her, any of them. It doesn't make sense. Why now? I'm not following. If they wanted us in the field, why didn't they send us with Walter to begin with? Why are they sending us now? What's changed? Look, I'm sure they have their reasons. Their reasons are what concern me. I don't think they're telling us everything. Okay, what reasons would they have to lie? I don't know, Alan. What could a for-profit company stand to gain from research regarding the whereabouts of the Fountain of Youth? Point taken. I mean, are you not concerned at all that they just show up here in the middle of the night unannounced with an entourage of bodyguards and demand that we assist Walter with the research? I find it suspicious that they arrived immediately after our conversation with Dr. Grey. Exactly. Do you think they're monitoring our conversations? I don't know. [chuckles] You know, Monica this... This sounds crazy, okay? We sound like crazy people. So, you're not worried? Yes, of course. I'm a little concerned. But, I mean, AESIV came in at the last minute and saved our research. And Dr. Grey said it himself, they want us to succeed. And yes, they stand to gain a lot of money from our research, especially, if what we've discovered turns out to be true. But don't you think that would make them want to help us even more? Yes, but at what cost? Look, we are on the verge of a very big discovery, okay? And tomorrow we will be out in the field with Dr. Grey making our dreams into a reality. You're not even a little bit excited? A little. I knew it. Alan, we agreed it would be simpler this way. I know. I'm gonna go. Alan. I hope you're right about AESIV. Me too. [suspenseful music] Pack it up. We're on foot from here. Heads-up. Beautiful! I'm sorry, what? Uh, the forest, it's all really quite beautiful. Yeah, it all feels so peaceful. Smooth. [chuckles] [whispering] Shut up. So, Bateman, what's your role here besides chauffeur? It is my job to get you to site. Ah, so like our very own Sherpa? Somewhat. But you can carry your own shit. Get it. What exactly do you plan on finding out here in the field that would require your expertise? Look, when you get to base camp, just know, there's gonna be some strong personalities. They're a bunch of angry swinging dicks. [Bateman] Cut the shit, Torres. What? You know it's true. Don't be an angry swinging dick, too, Bateman. I hear it's contagious. [chuckles] Nothing is funny to Harris. No surprises, no failure, just mission accomplished. You're much better dealing with me than him. I assume Ms. Anderson won't be joining us. Affirmative. That bitch would never get her shoes dirty. AESIV's first Team Alpha is already at base camp preparing for your arrival. See? Having funding takes you places. I'm already happy to be out of the office. This is more like it. Adventure in the great outdoors, good stuff. Relax, you've earned this. [tense music] [thud] [birds singing] [gurgling sound] [tense music] [Evans] Jesus Christ, what the hell happened here? Looks like failure. Yeah. [man] Hey, we got movement. [guns cocking] North. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we got friendlies. Jesus, Bateman! I was seriously about to light you up, big boy. [sighs] Hello to you too, Torres. Not the most hospitable of welcomes. Oh, my God. [Alan] What the fuck! [vomits] What's going on? Where's Dr. Grey? We did not find Dr. Grey amongst the remains. This appears to have been an attack. [Harris] Boys, we have a live mission. Keep the weapons hot, secure perimeter. Let's keep our guests safe. Yes, sir. Look, we're perfectly capable of handling this situation but from here on out, what I say, you do. If I say move, you move. 'Cause your life could very well depend on it. Copy? We are here to collect data, that is our mission. No, we need to find Dr. Grey. He could be out there hurt. We will. You, stay here and be quiet. Bateman, I need a sitrep. Walk with me. Look, we just need to do what Harris says. They're looking out for us. I'm not so sure about that. Have Torres take up her babysitting duties. Let her and the children set up base camp. Two clicks east of this position. Collect samples from the bodies. Understood? I knew I should have stayed home today. Just be positive. Okay, I'm positive we're going to die out here. Let's just stay calm. I'm sure Bateman and Harris have a plan. There's something off about these bodies. I agree. [groans] I got what I need, sir. I want this area cleaned. Sir? Evans, Harris wants this cleaned up. Let's go. The, uh, the bodies look like they've been underwater. Like they were drowned before they were torn apart. What could do that? Ew! That's nasty! [Febles laughs] Yo, Febles, you got any steaks for this motherfucker or what? Oh, man! Oh, hey, better yet, man, how about we all send up some smoke signals? [laughs] [imitates tribal song] That's messed up, Evans. You don't just step over a dead body, man. Bad juju. Hey, Torres... I'll step wherever I want. So what? We're just gonna leave them here? So much for a proper funeral. We need to focus on finding Walter and getting out of here. This is bad, real bad. [fire creaking] [coughs] We're here for samples, not biohazards. Rally at base camp, move out. These people have families, and now no one will ever know what happened to them. [coughing] [Riley] These bugs are eating me alive. I'm a scientist, not a buffet. [grunts] I'm not cut out for this. You got into MIT at 16, Riley. Surely you can walk a few miles and donate some blood to the indigenous life. Besides we're almost there, right, Bateman? Base camp? About two more clicks. Whoa! Do you hear that? [water falling] [Riley] Finally, something real to study. [gasps] Being here in the middle of it all makes you glad to be alive. Yeah, it does. Alan, I think this is the waterfall that Walter mentioned before we lost contact. [Alan] Clever, Dr. Grey. [Alan] Hey, do you know where we're at? My home. And you will be wise not to venture any further. Who are you? I am Ahanu, and this is Ininkwe land, first nation. Hello, Ahanu. My name is Monica. There was a storm, and we're trying to find our friend Dr. Walter Grey. Maybe you could help us find him? Yeah, he would love to meet you. You should be mindful of your path and intentions here. Respect this land, brothers and sisters, for your own safety and do not take the beauty for granted. [Anahu] And just like a thorn protects a rose, the water spirits protect the land and the people. [Anahu] And whoever has the darkness in their heart, they will learn to fear the rain. [Monica gasps] My God, did you see that? He's gone Bateman, not a trace. There's no place to escape out here. I don't get it. That's a first. Walter has talked about this for years, but like a legend. The way he described the Ininkwe. We can talk about the "ink dude" at base camp. Ininkwe. Ininkwe. Base camp. Fine! Thank you. [suspenseful music] [Torres sighs] You guys aren't used to taking orders, huh? [Torres] You'll get used to it. After they get used to you doing what you're told. We're here to find our friend and colleague. Dr. Grey. And I'm here to help you do that. Then why are we camping? We should be out there. You saw those bodies. We are looking for him. We're all the way out here, right? Look, we're close, but we're not gonna find him in the dark. We're out at first light, okay? Aah! Home sweet home, baby. Man, it'll be nice to take some of this shit off. Tell me about it, huh? Bateman. Sir? You check with the civilians, see if they have any results. Yes, sir. Evans, heads up! Hey! What the fuck, man? You big ogre. Sorry to interrupt, Harris wants answers. [Bateman] Do you have anything? It's a negative on the sample from the waterfall. Hmm. Try this. [gasps] Harris also wants eyes in the perimeter. You know what that means. You and me, long shot. You got it. Letting some lost Indian with a story take you off target... [Harris] Come on, man. You should know better than waste my time, Bateman. Harris! You address me as "sir." My mission. No hocus-pocus. God damn it. Febles! Jesus, what the fuck? I'd really like to be back at home right now. [beeping] That can't be right. Are you seeing what I'm seeing? But that's not possible, it's pure water. [Harris] Sunshine. Well, this looks delicious. Pass it over here if you don't want it. Hey, Monica, you want some? It's actually not that bad if you don't mind some grit. Walter knows this earth, like our bodies, gives us a sign when it's sick. Like earthquakes and volcanoes, hurricanes and tornadoes. They're signs. [Monica] We see them every year, and every year they grow in strength and number, right? Classic liberal climate change bullshit. [laughs] Not bullshit. Fact. Our impact on this planet is unsustainable. The fact is, doctor, that Ms. Anderson invited you here to the great American nowhere to assist us on this mission. And the fact is, as long as you do what we say, you, us, we will be one big happy AESIV family. Then we'll see if it's worth the hassle bringing you out here. Worth the hassle? Are you serious? This is our research. You are here to help us find Walter. And this is my mission. You'll research the samples that we provide, and Tweedle Dee, Tweedle dickhead, they will assist, just like home sweet home. And yes, together we will locate Dr. Grey, but more importantly, we will locate this alleged so-called Indian Fountain of Youth. That is why we are here. That is why I am here. Because where others fail, I finish. Are we clear? As water. [chanting in Ininkwe language] [speaks in Ininkwe language] What happened to those men back there? The man asked you a question. The Enuattii is not pleased with your presence here. [Ahanu] Protector of the rivers, oceans, lakes, streams and skies. This is a powerful place, and nature has its way of balancing itself. Those men, our friend Walter was with them. Can you help us? It seems like something... Like something from the black abyss with a merciless vengeance to lay them all to waste. Oh, shit, he's speaking in riddles, guys. This is where we all began, from the water, the trees and the rocks. Enough of this hippie bullshit, chief. You think you can challenge the laws of nature? Nature's law has no mercy. What does that even mean? It means the end. Your end. Is that a threat? There will be more than rain coming! I want answers. [all gasp] [pants] Nothing. He's gone, sir. We do not listen to a word this Indian says. We need to get our shit together. We are not living in a Native American fable. We're in the real world, and in the real world, he is gone out there with whoever did this. [Riley] Or whatever. This is a set up. And that the same thing that happened before would happen to us. Either way, Harris, we need to find Walter. And I think I have. [Monica] Walter mentioned something about a mirror, and I think it's in reference to a lake beyond this waterfall, near the cave, east from here. [Harris] Evans. Check your readings. See if there is anything pinging two clicks east of this position. [Harris] Bateman. [Bateman] Sir? Resume babysitting duty. See if there's anything useful you can get out of these two. Yes, sir. I'll go check this out. What? No we're coming with you. You will do exactly as I say! You got that? You! You're coming with us gathering samples. [chuckles] Dang, dude, do you ever change clothes or what? Einstein wore the same outfit every day. I have seven of these, and this one is Tuesday's. Careful, your nerd is showing. Alpha Team, load up. Yes, sir. Torres, on me. Torres, watch your ass out there. You watch it. Take us there, Febles. [singing in Spanish] Febles! Sir? No. Roger that. Thank God. Whoa! What is this place? [Harris] Evans, Torres, secure this position. [Evans] Sir. Febles. [Febles] Sir? Please escort Riley to the cave and gather samples. [water flowing] You hear that? Yeah, so? So, Harris said to get samples. It's the sound of water. It sounds close. This will be an excellent source, clean and pure. [Febles] Whatever you say, man. [water flowing] The elusive Dr. Grey. Not looking so good, are we? I thought I'd just lie here in the sun for a while. That's great. Look, I believe you have something for me. Something your assistants say, what is it, lasts forever? Well, Dr. Grey, maybe I could last forever too. [water flowing] It was your idea to come back here, now you're afraid of the dark? It's not what I said. I said it seems darker here. You may be right. [Harris] You didn't think I'd actually let you and your team get out of here alive, did you? Leave them be. Good move. I knew they'd send another thief, an assassin to finish the job the first two couldn't. [Dr. Grey laughs] [Dr. Grey coughs] I was holding it when the dumb-ass shot me. [Dr. Grey laughs] [splash] [both moan] Watch it! Let's go. Now! [swish] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Riley, calm down. You heard that. There's something in here with us. Give me that before you hurt yourself. There is something in here with us. They deserved what happened to them. All of you criminals deserve what it's going to happen to you. It knows. [laughs] Bateman, come in. Go for Bateman. Tell Dr. Warner and Dr. Williams I found their friend. [static noise] Unfortunately, he didn't make it. Oh, Walter. [pants] [swish] Riley, man! What the hell? Riley, quit it man. Riley, give me the gun! [gun clicks] [growl] [moans] [screams] You fool. The Enuattii... What did you say, dead man? [pants] You brought it upon yourself. You will know balance. [moans] [scream] [pants] [grunting] [Enuattii growls] [swish] [tense music] [Bateman] I'm sorry for your loss. He was a kind man. He knew that turning to AESIV would have a cost. He just didn't know it'd be his life. Looks like rain. There will be more than rain. You and your AESIV war machine have no business here doing what you're doing. We are not all the same. I'm a person with a job just like you. Look, Torres and I, we have history, trust. Just like you, Alan... [sighs] And Dr. Grey. AESIV assigned Torres and I under Harris's command. We're all trespassers here. Bateman, come in. [Bateman] Go for Bateman. Yeah, I'm gonna need a sitrep on the weather ASAP. I have what I came for. Mission accomplished. [cutting off] Have our guests verify the samples. [cutting off] I feel Ms. Anderson shall be pleased. [thunderclap] Base camp to Harris. Repeat. [thunderclap] Bateman. Bateman, come in. Over. [speaking in Spanish] [pants] [growl] Oh, my God. [speaking in Spanish] [pants] Febles! Back! [pants] Hey, hey, what the hell was that? [pants] Yo, Feb. [Evans] Feb, what the fuck, man? Febles, what's up? Yo, hey, calm down, man. It was like everywhere, man! What? What was everywhere? Where is Riley? [Febles] Gone, sir. Gone? What do you mean gone? It's like... It's like the water came alive. It looked like it pulled the life right out of him. Evans, did you get a reading on this? Uh, standby, sir. [Torres] Electronics are dead. Whatever it was, shot all our gear down like an EMP. She's right. Comms are dead. We can't even use our comms now? Fucking unreal, man! Enough! Base camp, weapons hot, eyes open. You coming, sweetheart? Yeah, man. [pants] [thunderclap] What can you tell me, doctors? Give me something. First, you tell me what Harris meant. "Mission accomplished"? What exactly did Harris come here to do? Look, we're not all the same. Let me help, so we can wrap this up and we can go home, okay? What is going on with these readings? I've never seen anything like this. [static noise] What the hell? It's only getting worse, a lot worse. I mean, look at the map. [thunderclaps] [Monica typing on computer] [thunderclap] Evans! Yes, sir. Out point. Move out. [growl] - What? - Are you seeing what I'm seeing here? Why have we stopped? [Enuattii growls] Oh, shit! [gunshots] [Evans screams] [gunshots] [Enuattii growls] What the hell was that? Come on, show yourself, you coward. Evans, wait! What? It's just one man running around out there in the rain. Where the fuck is he? Where'd he go? [growling] [moans] Hey! [screams] Help! [growl] [shouts] No! Help me! [screams] [gurgling sound] Base camp, on me, now! [screams] [growl] Did you hear that? You two, stay here. Get that fucking light out of my face. Lower your weapon. Where's Evans? Wait, where's Riley? What happened to Walter? Where are they? Dead. And you'll be dead too if you don't shut up and listen. [screams] Go down. It's here. [Harris] It must've followed us. [gunshot] Alan! [Monica sobs] See what you've done? What did he do to anyone? I didn't do that. That monster did that. Killed Riley, killed my men. You do not put this shit on me. In fact, you... You call this Indian water demon, or I'll stack your body on top of his. Harris, she is not the enemy. I should've known. I put you in charge, and this is what I get? You're questioning my authority? You murdered him! Your rank means nothing now. All he wanted to do was leave this godforsaken place. He was scared. Just like you. You watch your fucking mouth! No, Harris. Stand down, or I will put you down. [screams] I am your commanding officer! You're in command? [grunts] Looks like the mission has defeated you, Harris. No! [coughs] [growl] [grunts] [growl] [grunts] [gunshots] You hit? No. Vest. [tense music] [pants] That's the way out. Let's do it. Let's go. Give me something, Febles. Give me something. Torres and that bitch-ass doctor are liabilities. Here! They went over the edge, here. Good. What's the plan now, sir? Well, they obviously betrayed us. Hunt them down. Kill them all. Copy that. [coughs] Shouldn't have left them there. Walter or Alan. No one gets left behind. We get out alive, that's the sacrifice that they have made for us. We get out, we come back for our fallen in a week, get our revenge. I am sorry about your friend. Bateman was one of the good guys. Look, we have to keep moving. Come on. [tense music] Where the hell have you been? [thunderclap] [growl] What does it want from us? [growl] [growl] [growl] Fear is not the path to freedom. [Anahu] Do not let it consume you. [growl] Look within for balance, and you will find peace. [thunderclap] [thunderclap] What just happened? She was a wise and strong one. She had an awakening. Well, well, well, Febles. Look at what we have here. You thought you could just compromise my mission and run away? No! AESIV protocol stands. This mission has been compromised. Unfortunately for you, it ends here. [Harris] And you. You, this is all your fault. Again you desecrate our home. You shed your blood on our land. This is AESIV's land now. [thunderclap] The water, ours. The profit, ours. [Harris] What's the matter, they don't have history class at the Wigwam? It does not end well for your people. This land was your land, but now this land is our land. Harris, you are a pathetic little racist coward. And you deserve to die. Shoot that bitch. Hell, yeah! [gunshot] [growl] [growl] [heavy footsteps approaching] [screams] Come on! [growl] [screams] [Enuattii moans] [moans] [screams] [Enuattii screams] [Harris screams] [Enuattii grunts] [Enuattii growls] Thank you, great Enuattii, proud water spirit and protector. The actions of men have once again brought upon your rage. You have judged and laid low all those who have meant to destroy others and our sacred land. It is time for you to rest now, my brother. [thunderclap] Thank you, Ahanu. Monica! [chanting in Ininkwe language] You healed me. How? The balance. Harris was the death and the darkness, but you are the life and the light. One soul leaves, another soul returns. It is and has always been as I have always been. [chanting in Ininkwe language] Are you okay? I thought Harris shot you. He did. [mysterious music] Good morning, gentlemen. Thank you for coming in at such short notice. As you can see, it's time to move things forward to phase three. [tense music] [growl] [man] This is our land now! [old man] Our land. [board member] Too much time has passed. Too much money wasted. [Monica] We need to find Dr. Grey, he could be out there hurt. [Evans] Hello to you, too, Torres. [Evans screaming] [Harris] You will do exactly as I say. [Dr. Grey] You fool! [Dr. Grey] The Enuattii... [Anahu] You think you can challenge the laws of nature? [Anahu] Nature's law has no mercy. [Enuattii growls] [Harris] Show yourself, you coward! [Febles] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Riley, calm down. [Riley] There's something in here with us. [Febles] Give me that before you hurt yourself. [Harris] This appears to have been an attack. [Torres] I thought Harris shot you. [Monica] He did. [distorted voice] No mercy. [distorted voice] No mercy. [Enuattii growls] |
