Escape from Paradise Page #4

Synopsis: A giant turtle floats through space and reads its book. He meets Adam and Eve, who take over the book and rip the still empty pages from it. But by doing so they set free all unwritten ideas from which objects begin to grow and fill the world of Adam and Eve. When eventually these objects take over their world, Adam and Eve escape. They will end where they started, meeting a giant turtle who shuts his book. It is a film about technological development and man's control or loss of control over it. It is about man's wish for more, faster, better and newer and about losing control over an ever - and fast changing world filled with ideas, plans and inventions.

And please remember not to

say a word to anyone...

No matter what reason.

It's essential for everything

to end well.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, I understand completely.

- I'm tired.

- Just a little more.

- Did you hurt yourself?

- They're getting ready to put us in tins.

It's true, let's go.

Run... Run!

Look, it's them!

Let's get them.

Careful not to hit the boy.

Let's get Theo.

Over here, commander,

I found him.

Stay away from these monsters.

It's for your own good.

Exterminate them.

I see you've done some good hunting,

I can't say the same, unfortunately.

We managed to save him,

those dirty rats had him trapped.

Right, Theo?

This is Alex.

You were well equipped, how did

you know it was so cold out here?

They didn't know...

They found clothes and other things here

in the city, in an underground store...

But, unfortunately for us,

Theo isn't able to retrace his steps.

The streets all look the same...

What about Beatrice?

I don't know what to say,

I didn't find anything...

Except for this animal.

Give it here.

Come on, rat, move!

Show us how pretty you are...

Don't pull, don't pull!

It's all the fault of these

disgusting animals.

Disgusting?

They're full of viruses,

cesium and radium...

They're living mines.

The sooner we eliminate them,

the better it will be for everyone.

Do they really eat each other?

I don't know,

but I wouldn't put it past them.

There's something else I'd

like to know...

- How are my mother and father?

- They're fine.

They're both under Harry's control.

They aren't suffering,

if that's what you wanted to know?

Yes, that's right.

Thanks.

What can we do for her?

Let's take her to Elia.

Slowly.

Don't hurt her.

- I'm scared.

- Haven't you seen fire before?

Don't be afraid,

it's just pieces of wood...

They burn,

they illuminate.

They keep us warm.

Leave her alone.

We welcome you.

Take her next door,

in the light...

There's more light in there.

Her name is Beatrice...

- Do something for her.

- She needs medicine.

They'll hear us if you keep screaming.

Come with me, we're leaving.

Everything is okay.

We just have to wait.

Beatrice...

Have you ever witnessed

a baby being born?

It's marvelous.

Marvelous!

Don't worry, Theo, we'll keep

looking for Beatrice, I promise...

But after we've been decontaminated.

- What do you mean?

- Our blood...

You see, we need to

completely replace our blood...

...every three days.

Me, him, and the rest of my men...

Because we came up here...

We met with some trouble...

But don't you worry about,

you're not in any danger.

But us,

to be brutally honest...

We're condemned.

I don't think you want to see

your friend Thor die...

Just because his blood has gone stale!

And who will look for Beatrice after?

Bear!

It's Bear!

She might be here as well!

Bear, wait.

What are you doing here?

Take me to Beatrice.

You were with her!

Where is she now?

- Tell me.

- Stop it.

That animal is infected.

Yes, good Bear!

Show me where she is.

Stop, Theo.

Stay here.

Follow the dog, it might be

lead us to something interesting.

Come on, one last stop.

- Stay in contact.

- Okay.

We'll try to locate the underground

store that Theo discovered.

If you like, you can wash here.

- Here?

- In the water.

Well don't look.

Stay back.

Sorry, you're right.

- Shall I go?

- No, just turn around...

And keep talking.

I'm glad you asked me to turn around...

It means you consider me...

...a human being.

Yes, but don't try and turn around.

Move it...

Damn it, they've seen us!

Come here, bastard!

Don't let them get away.

Look down there.

Everyone over there.

Keep moving!

Now let's have a nice bonfire.

Poor Bear.

They burnt him as well.

Now it's your turn...

- Theo!

- Careful, do you want to be burnt?

Only my flames can get rid of

this horrendous stench.

You insane criminal,

you're worse than them.

Why do you treat them like this?

Come with me.

Beatrice!

It's two o'clock now...

Call Thor, there must be some news.

Please...

I can't go on.

Please, Eliseo.

We open this programme

with some bad news...

Theo, son of councilor Tolman,

cell 7...

...and Beatrice Landish,

cell 27...

...have died suddenly...

Someone found out they escaped.

They won't be allowed back.

- I don't want to lose him.

- It's the law, Sarah.

- I want my son back!

- There's nothing we can do...

- Nothing, Sarah... Nothing!

- But we can!

We have to go outside as well.

Take me away from here.

Beatrice's mother didn't kill herself...

No, they killed her,

and now they're going to kill us!

That's what happened.

Please, take me away from here.

Take me away.

Thor?

This is Tolman.

- Father.

- Theo.

- We're leaving.

- No, father, don't!

- Your mother is here.

- Theo, they found out about your escape.

You can't come back inside,

but we won't abandon you.

Go back inside,

it's too dangerous.

What is all this screaming about?

They killed them.

Who are you talking about?

Who have they killed?

Tell me.

They killed my father and my mother...

...they were in tunnel three.

I saw them.

They wanted to go out.

They wanted to be with me...

And they killed them.

Bastards.

Command calling second platoon.

Alex, can you hear me?

Alex, can you hear me?

Answer me.

Take five men,

and find that supermarket for me.

Sorry, sir, but we're exhausted,

we must return for the transfusion.

Be quiet and do as I say...

We have to show them we've

found something important.

Now go.

Where are you going?

- No, don't leave me alone.

- You wait here.

- I'll come back for you, don't worry.

- No, you want to be free of me.

- Please, Thor!

- Leave me alone.

Don't touch me.

Stay away from me.

Damn you!

You can go to hell as well!

I don't care about your father,

he was a monster as well...

Like everyone else who lives down there.

- I only followed orders.

- Whose?

Councilor Tolman,

and commander Thor...

I had no idea they were acting illegally.

You cannot enter.

- Out of the way.

- And you can't give me orders.

You're not our leader anymore.

Get rid of this imbecile.

Don't obey him.

The council has expelled him.

What are you waiting for?

Our weapons are empty.

Take them,

they're yours.

Now go.

Don't be afraid,

we just want to talk to you.

Stay where you are!

Don't come any closer.

Listen, Beatrice is with us,

in our base...

Come.

It isn't far.

I told you to stay where you are!

Do you think I'm stupid enough

to follow you?

It's the truth,

I know you... You're Theo.

Beatrice is in our base.

Come with us.

That's enough!

Go away.

Dirty worms.

Stay down.

I hear someone.

We'll go over there,

but stay close.

Use the flamethrowers.

That's his voice.

Don't let anyone get away.

Come with me.

Look out!

Watch out, there's fire behind you.

Don't go!

It's moving.

We have two hours to save them.

How much longer, Elia?

The wood is rotten...

It isn't lighting.

We need a flamethrower,
