So the Lord God banished him
from the garden of Eden
to serve the ground from which
he had been taken. Genesis 3:23
Eden Log... Eden Log...
Welcome.
Whatever you origins may be it is here
where your journey ends.
Sacrificing what is most important to you -
your consented efforts make you a natural
candidate for citizenship in our society.
Eden Log offers you it's passport.
Capable of entering in the cycle
Eden Log counts you amongst it's own.
Contract is fair.
It is thanks to your work below
you'll be able to construct
the paradise above.
Look after the plant
and it will look after you.
After this exchange
you'll be called to join us.
Without any other authority
than of your own will.
Without any other form of award
than the call of your new life.
The call.
Who are you?
I... I don't know.
I don't know who I am.
Stay away!
You awakened it.
Where... Where are we?
I don't know how you survived till now
but please get away!
No.
Tell me how to get out of here.
Where do you want to go? Up there?
There's nothing up there. Nothing!
It's over, do you hear me?
It's over!
I put and end to it. Me!
I opened everybody's eyes.
The whole world will know thanks to me
how much we neeed to pay...
There is no way out.
Please go away.
- Did you hear?
- What?
That!
It's already too late.
What was it?
Your end.
The end of the man you were.
Kill yourself.
Believe me. Kill yourself. Quickly.
You cannot escape from it!
I was the architect of this lab.
There's no way out.
Don't worry.
You won't suffer anymore.
Go! Go now! Go!
Access to scientific data authorized.
Memory re-energizing.
Open your level.
Out of the question.
First tell me what all that means.
Calm down.
You're not qualified for security.
Just open the REZO to our surveillance.
The protocol is clear. Access to the REZO
was reserved only to technicians.
Eden Log protocol
guarantees this.
There's no way that I can open
the passage to security.
This is an emergency. Your irresponsible
attitude is itself a breach of contract.
Plantation is supposed
to be self-managing.
Surveillance stops at the
collector at level zero. Not below.
You should let us resolve the problem.
Resolve the problem!? It's a war below.
Have you seen the pictures?!
You have no right to prevent workers from
returning up there and answering the call.
No way!
You should give us access that is not
in the area of your competence.
That's what I've been telling you.
It's out of the question
that the REZO be used for repressive ends.
And certainly not by your guards.
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
You are in no position
to lay conditions to the council.
So long as we receive no information on the
condition of workers already on the surface
no one is using the lifts anymore.
This discussion is over.
- You are right, the discussion is over.
Everything is filmed!
If your screws try to come back in
I'm warning you
that I'll alert the world above
about what is happening here.
And the faith reserved by Eden Log for
the immigrant population. There's still laws.
On position. Everything's ready.
Then go!
Try to find a way
to get that working again.
Request contact with the surface.
What's the situation?
The elevators are still
blocked in the levels.
And the plantation?
- It's completely choked up.
The workers are in a terminal stage.
Gone completely wild.
That makes the intruder
that much harder to localize.
Get to the upper level, the rest of you.
On the double!
The images were being broadcast
throughout the REZO.
That explains the technician's
obstructing the access.
It's getting more and more complicated.
Recover the data from the laboratories.
The rest is left to your discretion.
- I see.
Secrecy... Secrecy alone counts.
You're already on a mission.
Control of the laboratories
and the technicians.
Control of the technicians?
It's a cleanup. And I want images of all that.
Check your recorders.
The signals that are broadcast
remain a danger for the whole system.
It's impossible to locate
the technician on level minus 3.
His knowledge of the gallery
is a serious handicap.
Get around that.
The exterior is not yet ready
to accept the secret.
You've remained it's guardians.
They've got us. We read you now.
We neutralize the lab and we
go back down to the plantation.
We have to locate the architect.
We've got no choice.
Nothing must leave the galleries anymore.
No signals, no people.
Memory disconnected.
Access to scientific data not authorized.
Check the tunnel.
I'm starting to get sick and tired
of walking around these tunnels.
Would you rather get lost in the REZO?
If that matter
I'm sick of these corridors too.
I'll be so glad when we get our hands
on that asshole, so we can go back up.
Great, one more dead-end.
Let's hope the other crews
are luckier that we've been.
Access to security data authorized.
Maps loaded.
We all searched the whole zone.
Further on it gets impossible.
The others will take care
of that gallery.
We just have to finish this part here
and the level will be done.
He's got to be
in the more humid zones anyway.
Yes, got to be. He's got to be there,
or there, or somewhere else.
Maybe he's hiding there.
- And what if maybe he changed levels?
Enough already.
There's no point arguing about it.
How can he find his way? Dropping
bread crumbs? I don't understand.
It's the darkness causing that.
The brain lacks oxigen.
Shut the fuck up!
At least they don't have anymore problems.
Tell me how they expect
us to find a runaway
in a maze that he designed himself?
That you have to ask...
- Hey, up there!
He's diverted the evacuation pipe.
He is into the tunnel.
It's useless what you are doing.
I'm sorry about that music. It's the only
thing that seems to calm them down.
At least a little bit.
I don't know how much longer
all this can hold together.
But I sure hope
I'm not here to find out.
Can you understand what I'm saying?
Take it easy.
Don't stay too close to the wall either.
Do you understand or not?
Up till now I've been able
to manage pretty well.
And before you showed up, I thought
I was the only one in this situation.
But if you can't even talk anymore
it means your mutation has already begun.
And I won't be able to keep you.
Because this is the only place around
here that's a little protected.
Hey... are you hungry?
Wait a second.
Let me see what I've got left.
And that... It's a guard's harness.
What's a worker doing with that?
Why don't you want to answer me.
You'll calm down sooner or later.
Don't worry.
I've got all the time in the world here.
But you'll be going back outside.
But before that there's a little
experiment I'd like to try on you.
Don't worry it's just...
Stop!
Let me go.
But if you can still talk that means
you are not totally lost, you know?
No. I don't know.
I don't know anything.
Where are we?
The cages? You?
What does it mean?
We're between the plantation,
the workers and the surface.
The harvest of this down below
and the collector up there.
We are in the maintenance REZO.
- What's that?
The plant's maintenace is taken care of
by the REZO technicians.
Each floor handles a specific job.
I don't get anything!
I'm just the REZO's botanist.
I don't understand everything either.
What I need is to get out of here.
The workers. They came of that way.
Drawn by the plant I guess.
The plant fed them.
But there was no control.
And the dose was too strong.
That make them rot.
I told myself my only
chance was to wait
till hunger drove them start
killing each other
and I hoped I'd still be alive to see it.
In the end we grew accustomed
to each other. I've got no illusions.
If it weren't for these piece of plastic
between us I wouldn't be able to hold on...
They still manage to surprise me
after all this time.
But what I can't figure out is how you were
able to excape form the plant's addict.
Look. It's beautiful, isn't it?
The sap's energetic
properties are infinite
and believe me,
we're just at the beginning.
Let me try a test on you.
Don't worry, you've got nothing to fear.
Except knowing more about yourself.
If you're healthy the plant
will try to contaminate you.
That will set off the alarm
and stop the transfusion.
You mustn't bear a grudge.
It's as if it were trying to make contact.
Access to greenhouse authorized.
Mixture released.
I'll wind up knowing
what it wants from us.
What's happening?
The process is reversing.
It can't be.
The plant has always been sterile.
Who are you?
Wait. They've sensed something.
We'll take the lab from behind.
They finally picked up the trail.
It's me they're after.
Don't move.
It's simply a safety measure.
Till you get your wits back.
Hatch is opening.
I'm sorry but I can't take the risk
of bringing you with me.
No! Get away!
It's not me. It's not me.
Come on.
You are not like them.
I don't understand anything anymore.
The plant... You...
The guards going down.
The workers going up.
An elevator!
Data damaged.
Insufficient data.
Nothing works here anymore.
Access to scientific data authorized.
Memory re-energizing.
I am the last technician
before the exit level.
I don't have much time left.
We were naive.
We believed
that the cycle was perfect.
The energy, generated for the outside
is reaching everywhere. And to everyone.
The men digging underground made
insensitive to the pain of their efforts
recovered on the surface
thanks to their own hardwork
earning their place
in this new society.
The structure is different here!
It will never hold!
We knew what we wanted from the plant,
we believed in it's generosity.
But it's conditioning
was not without risk.
It's protecting itself from us.
The workers of the depths went throught
what's happening to me now.
But I will not end up like them. I have
no other choice but to graft myself to it.
Only the suction of the plant
can block the mutation
and nothing can reverse the phenomenon.
Today I know what the
society does with its sick.
They never come back down.
Eden Log probably estimated
that was the price to pay.
We, the technicians of the REZO
refuse to maintain this line.
No! It can't be. No!
They've left everything open.
Eden Log, forerunner of new energy.
At first I remember that they said that
with just one tree
and it's roots exploitation
they would be able to provide
the energy to entire city.
And I believe that.
There!
It's the collector of the sap.
The tree is above it.
The cubes.
They're connected to the machines.
Don't go back! Never!
You don't understand anything!
People in the cubes.
It's not to cure them.
The energy they take.
It's not the plant's energy.
It's people's energy.
What's this?
Did you hear that?
It's...
It's...
Sorry.
No...
No.
It's... It's not true.
Not me.
After all this time spent here? No!
It's you.
It's you.
You contaminated me.
It's you
You contaminated me!
I know...
I know this place.
I know this place. I know.
Go to the surveillance station
and contact the surface.

Laboratory minus 2.
I have arrived at the plantation.
Request contact.
It's urgent. I'm not receiving you.
Sending images. I hope that...
Find the REZO botanists.
The plant is becoming
more toxic as it grows.
Apparently the more sap we take out,
the more the plant protects itself.
Warnings sent to Eden Log
have not been answered.
The architect of level minus 3, the most
capable of finding his way in the REZO
decided to go down
to report what's happening.
Here's what he have been able
to recover of his images.
Now it's my turn. It's calling me
and I know what's in store for me.
Misha!
End of recording.

Control of the technicians?

I want images of all that!

Wil you be alright?
I'll go see if the elevator is still stuck.
Can you hold on?

Do you copy?
Nothing works any more.

Welcome, Tolbiac.

The situation is critical. We've
intercepted images form the plantation.
Attention all guards.
By order of the council
prepare to go down
and silence the plantation.
End of the plantation revolt.
Task completed.
Elimination of the architect.
Task completed.
Access to the REZO
scientific observation laboratory.
Task completed.
Hey, you're back. Call the reenforcement.
It's Tolbiac...
Mission terminated.
The council is satisfied with the manner
in which you carried out this mission.
The uprising of the plantation workers
and the resistance of the REZO
were just unfortunate setbacks,
that we are eager to rectify.
You are the most apt
to secure the area
of that is already the model
for a new enterprise.
We must reintegrate the plantation.
We must retain control.
Access to greenhouse authorized.
Sir, we're ready to go down.
Open it.
You have enabled us
to preserve what's essential.
To retain the secret,
long enough for us to
make our citizens admit
that their lives a part
of a new social order.
For them to understand they need
courage to impose a solution
on these faraway populations
and frustrated lands.
All these men, these women...
We have no choice but
to rely on hope
for what we have never
been able to offer them.
We need men like you - conscious
of the obligation, of the sacrifice
which is essential to this new world.
The time will come
when the secret will be useless.
Our fellow citizens will
end up accepting that
which our needs imposed
on these populations.
After a long period of hardship and suffering
at last a way to integrate
all these populations to our civilizations.
- At last the return to Eden.
- For everybody.
