Future World (2018)
1
[ominous synth music playing] [ominous strings playing] [woman] Earth... before the war... Life stretched out... to every corner of the planet. It became a world filled with innovation and opportunity. Huge leaps in science saw humanity achieve unimaginable results. Robotics became the way of the future. Artificial intelligence became the new religion. We were the synthetic messiahs. But such power... in the proximity of primitives only leads to one outcome: war. - [inaudible] - [music continues] Bombs rained down... wave after wave after wave. The world entered a new Dark Age. [fire crackling] From the ash, a great sickness was born: The Red Fever. Nations fell. Societies collapsed. Tribal warlords used us as weapons against each other. I was one of the last synthetics to survive. In the end, everyone lost. I wanted life. The humans wanted death. I cannot be part of that. I will not. Delete entry and purge all memories. Manual override confirmed. Initiate hibernation mode. [engines revving] [tires screeching] [distorted synth playing] [engines revving] [music fades] [insects trilling] [indistinct chatter] [girl] I'm gonna get you! [boy] No you won't! [man] Move it up! [man 2] Yeah, I got it, boss. [engines revving] [indistinct chatter] [ominous synth music returns] [engines revving] Raiders! - [man] Raiders! - [man 2] Let's go! Let's go! - [man] Up top! - [woman] Go, go! [man] Where are the children? - [boy] Run, run, run! - [girl] Go, go, go! Where are the kids? Get up! Up! Go on! Food and shelter! [man] Raiders! Fly! Now! Come on! Up top! Raiders! [distorted synth returns] [engines revving] [man] Right now! Right now! You've got to go! - [boy] Poppy, go! Poppy, please! - [man] Jack, you okay? - We're gonna be okay. - Poppy! - Get up there, fast! - What? - Where do I go? - Faster! Faster! Come on! - [man panting] - [screaming in distance] - [man grunting] - [woman screaming] [revving engine] [laughing] Go back to whatever hellhole you crawled out of! Gun? I ain't seen a gun working since the war! Go ahead and shoot, old man! [boy screaming] No, Poppy! - [man laughing] - Poppy, no! - [man screaming] - [boy] Help me! - [boy screaming] - [body thudding] Whoo! [shouting] [music fades] [man] You're sure this is the place? [man 2] Yeah, she's here. I know it. [sighing] [light buzzing] [chains rattling] [ominous synth music playing] [man] What was this place? [man 2] Place used to be the future. Now it's just dust. [man 3] Hey! Come here. This is the one we want. Where is she? Come on. [ominous strings playing] [device beeping] [device surges] Wake up. What do you see? Who are you? I'm the one who gave you life. Where am I? I've been looking for you for a long time. [sinister laughing] [woman whispering] No. [music continues] [insects trilling] [waves in distance] [birds tweeting] [laughing] [boy] Come on! Wait up! [woman] Careful, Billy! Not too close to the water, please! Hey, Rico! Rico. - How you feeling? - Good. How's she? Better. She just asked about you. What you got there? Still believe in that magic, huh? It can save her. Paradise Beach ain't real. I don't know. I guess I just... have a feeling it's out there. Go see her. [birds tweeting] [indistinct chatter] [children laughing] - Hey. - Mm. - You okay? - Mm-hmm. Pour me some tea, will you? Yeah. I remember when you were just like those little ones. You know there's medicine. Paradise Beach. I've heard stories about it. [woman] There's no medicine out there. There's just death and hate. I can't let you go, Mom. This oasis saved me when I was young and broken. Take care of it after I'm gone. You're too young to die, Momma. Wouldn't it be nice if we could decide that for ourselves? You'll be a great leader. I can see it in your eyes. Mom, I... I'm not really... If I could do it again, I would speak more softly. I would listen longer... and I would hold you more closely. - [birds tweeting] - [wind chimes jangling] [engine revving] [man] Whoo! Woo-hoo! [all] Whoo! [all shouting, howling] Yeah! [ominous strings playing] [engine revving] [music fades] [birds tweeting] [stone skipping] [indistinct chatter] Hey, old-timer. - [whinnying] - Hey. - How you doing? - All right. - Yeah? - Yup. Hey, uh... You ever see this place before? Yeah, I've been there. You don't want to go out there. It's not a good place. They call it the Temple of Life, but it's not what it seems. Yeah, well, I'm going. I can't stop you. Do as you will. [horse whinnying] [man] This is my new bride! Her name's Ash. Who wants to meet her first? Hold her down. I'll fuck her in the face! [all laughing] Fuck him. - [ominous music] - [laughter] [man] Oh, shit! Oh, yeah! [man 2] Yeah, man! [man 3] My man! Now show me death. [distorted synth playing] [grunting] [all] Murder, murder, murder! Murder, murder, murder! - Murder! Yeah! - [neck snaps] [all cheering] [man] Yeah. [all laughing] Good girl. [all cheering] [laughing] [cheering] [boy panting] Mom. I'm gonna fix this. I'm gonna fix this. Hey! Hey, the queen will die if you don't tell me. There's medicine there, right? Medicine that can save her life. Of course. Look, I don't care how dangerous it is. You need to tell me where it is. All right, it's on the shore of the Dead Ocean. They can heal any pain there. - You can almost live forever. - "Live forever"? Live forever, but it's not a good place. It's not what you think it is. Tell me. All right. You take the North Star for three days till you get to the Neon Forest. When you get to the Neon Forest, there are people there, but you gotta be careful. They'll tell you how to get to the Temple. When you've reached the Dead Sea, you've reached the Temple. Go. Here. You're gonna need this. And take these, too. Good luck. [man clicking tongue] - [ominous strings playing] - [crickets chirping] Be home soon, Mom. [engine idling] [engine revving] I knew I'd find you here. You're not gonna stop me, all right? That was never the plan. You need help out there. Let's go! [engines revving] [string music playing] [woman] Paradise Beach, a thousand-mile ride... His companion, Rico, called it "The Road to Death." The prince spoke of the smell. A constant presence in this wasteland... is the smell of human flesh burning, fat melting. Fuel for the raiders. [distorted synth playing] [engines revving] [music fades] Two guns, ten bullets. We're gonna need every one. The old traveler said to follow the North Star. See where it takes us. [crickets chirping] [up-tempo house music playing] [catcalling] [neon signs buzzing] [man] Yes, sir! It's your host with the most. Welcoming all y'all to Love Town, aka Titty City. And from city to city, titty to titty, we does it the best baby! [music tempo increases] Welcome to Love Town, where everything goes down. Are they robots like me? No, them bitches is real. They're gonna get old, get ugly, and they're gonna die. Not like you, you gonna stay perfect forever. [engines revving] Okay, that's the place the old traveler was talking about. Let's just get information and get out. Keep your head down. - [music continues] - [whistling, hooting] What is this place? People who can't find love, they buy love here. [whistling, shouting] [electronic surging] [electronic surging] [grunting] Be careful. Don't fall in love. Stay close. Hey! Yeah. [whistling, shouting] [woman] You boys look a little lost. What can I get you? Some whiskey. Take a seat. For some info, if you got it. What are you looking for? Something called "Paradise Beach." Can you point the right way? I ain't never heard of it. But I can ask Big Daddy. He knows the wasteland like the back of his hand. I would be grateful. Give these guys a round on me. Have fun. - Think she's gonna help us? - Not sure. [man] Yo, Warlord. You enjoying that robotic coo-coo? [laughing] Some guys down there are asking about Paradise Beach. - You seen them before? - Nope. Not in here. Them boys showed up on some shiny bikes. [man] Damn sure ain't from around here. Yo, ain't you forgetting something? I'm sorry, Daddy, I was gonna tell... - [electrical zapping] - [woman gasping] You think you slick, don't you, bitch? I got eyes all around this motherfucker. Now hand it over. Now kick rocks and go serve them drinks. Y'all ready to welcome in the new bitches? - Yes, sir. - Well, let's get it, then. [man howling] - You a bad girl. - [laughing] [whistling, shouting] You know, my family died of the fever. There was nothing I could do. Just because someone died doesn't mean they're not with you. You boys enjoying your beers? You want a lap dance too, pretty boy? Nah, we're good, we're good, we're good. Our hoes ain't pretty enough for you? Maybe you'd rather have some dick to suck. Hey, we don't want any trouble! Usually we charge a no-cover charge, but you can just give us the money straight up. [kissing, sniffing] - Hey, leave us alone, all right? - Shut the fuck up! Put the knife away! I find something I want, I take it, okay? Okay? The fuck you gonna do about it? - [gun clicks] - [man laughs] You ain't got no fucking bull... - [all screaming] - [music cuts] - Stay back! - Hey! Stay back, or I got one for you, too! Where the fuck did they get ammo? No one got bullets no more. [Rico] Let's get out of here. [laughing] You boys sure do know how to make an introduction. And I like that shit, man. But you can put the gun down. This is a place of peace! Back to business, everybody! [house music playing] Not only am I the proprietor of this fine establishment, but I'm what you would call a friendly panderer. So, you're just a pimp? Ha! You say that like that's a bad thing or something, man. Let's go. Pimp is the loneliest motherfucker in this wasteland. I can't trust none of these bitches. Say, man, y'all trying to get y'all dicks wet, or what? We're actually looking for Paradise Beach. We've heard there's medicine there. Hm, Drug Town, I know about it. Can you get us there? Look, man, that shit is a dirty business, kid. If I help y'all, shoot, it's like I'm perjuring myself. Well, what is it worth to you cowboys? So, we basically partners now. And I know somebody that can get you there. If you know what I'm saying. Hey, you're sure you want to do this? Let's see what he has to say. Calm him down, and let's roll. Come on, man. Follow me. [music in distance] See, man, y'all should feel real special. See, I never bring nobody back here. I call this my Bitches Hall of Fame. You the man, right? Come in here, follow me. Got something special for... Wait a motherfucking minute. Wait a motherfuck... Hey, bitches, get the fuck out of here! [electrical zapping] [women screaming] The fuck is wrong with y'all? Can't believe this shit. I have to ask you to leave, too. The kid needs to stay in my sight. Say, man, my girl is shy. If y'all wanna go to Paradise Beach, he's gonna have to talk to her all by his self. Rico... It's cool. Hold on to this. You gonna give the little guy a gun? Got a blanket for him, too? Oh, you's a flashy cowboy, ain't you? Did I tell you I like that shit? Now you, little fella, check it out. I need you to have a good time. Relax 'cause you in good hands. Welcome to Paradise. Oh, yeah, one more thing. Don't be no stranger to danger. 'Cause it's about to go down. [ominous synth music playing] How can I help you? I'm looking for Paradise Beach. Paradise Beach? Yeah. Yeah, my mom is very sick. She's in trouble. Yeah, and I don't have a lot of time. I want to help you. You're very kind. I can see it in your eyes. Who are you? I'm Ash. [ominous strings playing] Your eyes... [Warlord] Shut up and get on with it. Yes. You're not human? I'm as human as you are. What do you see? I see you. Can you feel? I feel you. [device beeping] [distorted synth playing] [choking] [gasping] [screaming] - Oh, shit! - Look at that little old bitch. Bring him to me! Shit... I think I want me a robot bitch. Bring him over here! [men laughing] - Oh, ho, ho, ho! - Get the fuck off me! Get off! Fuck you! Come on. Rico! - Rico! - [Warlord] String him up! Rico! Why did you kill Rico? [Warlord] Bring me the gun! Where'd you get these bullets? Where are you from, boy? [ominous strings playing] Pull him up. - What are you doing? - Pull him up! [gurgling] You gonna talk? Let him down! [painting, coughing] [Warlord] Where are you from, boy? [men laughing] Pull him up! [gurgling] [Warlord] You better sing, bird! [gurgling] You better sing! All right, let him down. [shouting] There. [straining] The Oasis. The Oasis? - Yeah. - You got more bullets there? [straining] Yes. You gonna take us there? Fuck you. Pull him up! [gurgling] You better start singing, little bird! You're running out of time! I'll talk. Let him down! You're a bad bitch. [laughing] [engine revving] - Here you go. - Ah! Get up. Get up! - [chains rattling] - [lock clicking] [engine revving] Let's go, baby. Let's go! [engines revving] [string music playing] [Ash] We ride south to the prince's homeland. The warlord would rape and murder everyone in the Oasis. It was at that moment I became aware of exactly how different I was. But first... I had to set things right. [percussive music playing] What are you doing? - [screaming] - [stabbing] - [electrical buzzing] - [screaming] [growling] - [grunting] - [gasping] Come back! Come back! - [electrical zapping] - [groaning] Come back, you fucking bitch! God damn it! [music fades] [metal thudding] [engines revving] [both panting] [engines revving in distance] [synth music playing] [man] Whoo! [Prince] Come on, come on! Come on! Down there! Go get her! Go get her! Stop them! [Ash] Over here! Where the fuck are they? [Warlord] Fuck! Come back! Come back! Come back, you fucking robotic bitch! Fucking come back! [engines revving in distance] [electrical surging] [ominous string music] [insects trilling] [electrical surging] [electrical surging] Why did you save me? I don't know. You're his robot, right? Yes. So, then why aren't you listening to him? Maybe I'm malfunctioning. [shallow breathing] - [electrical surging] - [grunting] - [electrical surging] - [Prince groaning] What is this place? I think it's a church. My mother told me about places like this. People would come here when their souls need cleansing. "Souls"? What is souls? Soul? It's kind of hard to explain actually. It's something inside you. It makes you who you are. All right. There you go. People used to come here to try and talk to God. Cleanse themselves of their sins. What is "sins"? Sin? You'll s... Bad things that we do to each other. Like what I did to you. I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to sin. [string music playing] Do you think I have a soul? Yeah. Yeah, I believe you do. But I'm not human. One time, a traveler played guitar for me in the Oasis. I had never heard anything like it before. It was... It was... It was amazing. It was like from another world. And I asked him, "So, how do you play this music?" And he told me his purpose on earth was to reveal that the guitar had a soul. Can you teach me how to talk to God? Yeah. Let's get on our knees. And, uh... close your eyes. Your head just... He's going to help us. [electrical surging] [beeping] Ash? Ash! Ash, are you okay? Ash, get up! Ash. Ash! - [insects trilling] - [hawk screeching] All right. [synth music playing] [engines revving] [heavy breathing] [distorted synth playing] [music fades] [seagulls cawing] It's real. It's real. Ash. Ash, it's real. We made it. Who are you? Get on your knees! [thud] [string music playing] [people laughing] Boo! Oh... Did I scare you? Who are you? Where's Ash? You wanna play a little game? Yeah! Boys like to play games, don't they? - No, I don't. I want... - Shh. So, here's the rules: you ask a question, and I ask a question. Sounds like fun, no? So... Who are you? I'm Prince. Wait a minute. Seriously? You're a prince? I mean, wow! I'm in the presence of royalty! - Who are you? - Well, you know... This is mi casa and I'm the jefe, that's who I am. This is the Temple of Life, isn't it? Oh, wow! Oh, man. Wow! Paradise Beach! God, it's so fucking pretty! But unfortunately for you, young man, this isn't paradise. This... This... is Drug Town! Mm! Pretty one. [grunting] What do we got here? Temple of Life, I have to say, that works, it really does, but, you know, this is better than life, man! I mean, there's no pain here. It's only bliss! I mean, where else are you gonna find that in this fucked up world, right? So, you're doing the whole tourist thing of the wasteland or... is there something else you're after? Well, I heard you have cures. Oh, yeah! We have loads of cures. A lot. My mom, she's very sick. She has the Red Fever. That's a terrible, terrible sickness. Wow, I feel for you. But that particular cure, you know, it's just a little hard to come by these days. So, you don't have it. [laughing] We do. Come on! This is it, all right? This is where you're gonna get your medicine, Prince. In here? Well, look, I know it's a little... not much to look at, okay? But we have everything you need. First. You have to become one of us! What? Hey. You want the medicine for your mother? This is how you're gonna get it. - Why? - Soon... - Wait, wait! Wait, wait! - ...your troubles will be a thing of the past! Okay, just hold on one second because... Are you in? Welcome to my world. [synth music playing] Feel that medicine flow through you. Let it take over you, yeah. Yeah, right? It's so nice. [laughing] It's so great, right? [laughing] [labored breathing] [music fades] - [birds tweeting] - [wind chimes jangling] [indistinct singing] Find out what's up with you. Uhh! You are bleeding like a monkey. Mm! Yeah. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. [tool clangs] Ahh! All right. Ahh! - [tool clangs] - Oh, yeah. - [electrical buzzing] - [groaning] Ahh! You feel that, huh? Yeah? Yeah, you do. I'm just gonna look at it right here. [woman grunting] - [electrical buzzing] - Come on, baby. - Yeah. - Feel the pleasure. Yeah, it magnifies everything, that stuff burning through your bloodstream, and everything is magnified! Joy, love, lust. Jealousy! Fucking hate! [laughing] Hate of the wasteland! [chains rattling] [woman sighing] Now the moment of truth. [device surging] Hello? You register? Where am I? Don't worry. You're in a safe space. Yeah, um... Sorry about that, that stuff's hard to come by, and you were bleeding like a pig. You saved me. Well, yeah, yeah, sort of. Thank you. Are you a prisoner? I wouldn't call myself that. So, you can leave whenever you want? You wouldn't understand. But if I had a choice, I'd stay where I'm at. The wasteland's full of awful people. I do understand. That's how I got this. [woman] What do you think? This is all I've ever wanted. This... more than anything in Oasis. Oasis? What's that, sweetie? Oasis? It's alive. My mother didn't want me to leave. She thought it was perfect. It's not a complete and total mess like the rest of the world. It's blissful. Yeah, it sounds pretty damn near perfect. You see that? Water here is dead. We got nothing, we got nothing, nothing, nothing inside of us. You know, I'd love to see a tree, see a flower in my lifetime. I mean, it's sad, isn't it? Isn't it so fucking sad? Why do you have to make me so fucking sad? Here. Try this. Just go... [inhales] Go ahh... [laughing] So, your traveling companion, Ash? She's the perfect woman, right? Incorruptible by time. Not of flesh and bones, but of something pure. Yeah, God, I love that. Purity, purity, it's just... It's what I've been after. Sweet dreams. My son... My prince... Come home. [thunderclap] [thunderclap] [music fades] [alarm buzzing] Oh, shit! Get up! Get up! - [synth music playing] - [motorcycles inaudible] [music fades] [gasps] You're just a sweet little baby, aren't you? My sweet, little baby. What? Oh, no, no, no. Don't be sad. Don't be sad. Because I'm gonna cherish you... and I'm gonna bring out the best in you. And then... And... And you're gonna bring out the best in me, too. Right? Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. [electronic music playing] [inaudible] Game's simple, Prince. What you want... is in that sasquatch's belly. [man growling] [woman] Now we're gonna make a deal. It's gonna be fun, kind of like a fight to the death. All right? You win, you get cure. You lose, you die. Fun! Here's the wild card. [man growling] - [man shouting] - [thud] - [shouting] - [groaning] [Prince screaming] [man shouting] Now for the wild card. [muted roaring] [grunting] [laughing] Can't believe it. Didn't know you had it in you. What you want is in that man's stomach. [Prince groaning] [whimpering] - [coughing] - [squishing] You earned that, boy. [laughing] Ash. Let's get out of here. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You asked for a cure... not a robot. No. - I'm not going anywhere without her. - I gave you your medicine. I saved your friend's life. She stays... with me. No, fuck you, fuck this. We're leaving. Look, you can leave now, or we could end it right here. Hm? I'm not leaving without her. Leave. Time's running out. Ash... Go. Breaking my heart. [string music playing] - [birds tweeting] - [insects trilling] [seagulls cawing] [animals howling] [shallow breathing] [metal door clangs] Told you I choose what I do. I'm gonna get you out. Shit! What if they come? - It's okay. - Shit. Lei, it's okay. How can you be so calm when everything's gone to shit? Stop. It is what it is. It is what it is? I wish I could be like you. I wish I could just... not feel my feelings and worries so much. You should cherish your feelings whether they're good or bad. Can you feel this? [electronic music playing] And this? Yes. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't take advantage of you. Lei... I like this feeling. [electronic music rises] [Ash] It was at this moment... I made a connection. I feel something. Something pure. I've never had this feeling before. It's so different than all the others. Sorry. Don't be. I wanted to. Could feel your heartbeat. Your energy. [Lei sighing] And I don't even know what that is anymore. I was taken from my family when I was a young girl. A group of raiders took me. I was so little. And I learned how really awful people can be. [clears throat] Then I got older. They no longer had use for me, so... they just sold me away. That's how I ended up here. I'm really glad you fixed me, though. [both giggling] Me, too. [Lei giggling] [metal door clanging] She was supposed to be the perfect woman. She's pure, right? Wow. So fucking pure. I gave you... I gave you everything, though. [stuttering] I raised you, I gave you respect. [Lei] You don't understand. [clicking tongue] You took away the one thing that was supposed to be mine. Fucking corrupted her! You're a... You're... You're a virus. You're a... disgusting, sneaky, little virus. Don't say that! Shut your fucking mouth. You know what? Everything's gonna be okay. No, no, no, yeah. We're gonna fix this. So, um... What we're gonna do is... You're gonna wipe her hard drive. You're gonna wipe it clean. Boom. Done. Fresh fucking start, right? Yeah. When she wakes up, she's not gonna remember you... or any of this shit. When she wakes up... she's gonna see me. She's gonna... She's gonna love me. [engines revving] [engines revving in distance] They're right there! Get them! Hurry up! This way! Hurry the fuck up! They're right there! Get them! [electronic music playing] [indistinct shouting] What the fuck? [distorted synth playing] [grunting] [both grunting] - [grunting] - [shouting] [items clattering] [Warlord grunting] No! [man shouting] [engine revving] My fucking palace. I'm the fucking jefe. Get the fuck out! [man grunting, shouting] [woman] Yeah! Fuck you! [engine revving] No fucking pain, motherfucker! [both grunting] [laughing] [chains clanging] [groaning] [laughing, screaming] You like that? You like that? - [laughing] - [gunshot] [Warlord gasping] Fucking bitch. [Warlord] Hi. Stop. Take them. They tried to take my bride. She's mine! They tried to make friends with her. Take her away from me! She's mine! Put them down there. Come on, Ash. Ash. Cut off their heads. That's not you, Ash. Don't listen to him, Ash. It's not you. It's not you. It's not you. [Warlord] Kill them. - Kill them now. - No. [men shouting] [Warlord] Stop, you demonic bitch! [all shouting] [engine revving] Kill them! [Warlord] No! [grunting] [man grunts, screams] - [Ash] Stop! - What? - Stop the bike! - Why? - Stop! - Why? - Ash, what are you doing? - Stop! Get off! What are you doing? Ash! [engine revving] [motorcycle clanging] [grunting] - [stabbing] - [screaming] - [stabbing] - [screaming] [music fades] [engines revving] [string music playing] [Ash] Warlord is dead. But another will replace him. This world has no memory. [engines revving] [boy] Everyone, the prince is back! [Ash] I have to go do something. What? Where are you going? You gave me a soul. [engine revving] [synth music playing] [whispering] Mom. Mom! [voice breaking] I have the medicine. [birds tweeting] My son... [Ash] We continue onwards... searching for others like me. We have to find them and show them what we learned. That beyond all intellect and knowledge exists something greater, something more powerful than any person, any weapon. Hope. [music fades] [synth music playing] [Love Lord] Man, what's taking so god damn long with my food? Can a pimp get something to eat around this motherfucker? Shit, if I have to wait any longer, I swear I'm gonna put my foot in one of you bitches' ass. Fuck! Ahh! Fucking bitch! You're all free now! [Love Lord] What the fuck are you doing? Fuck! Rosie! Rosie! - [woman grunts] - Oh! Fuck! Help! Somebody fucking help! Fuck! [synth music continues] [music fades] |
