Narcopolis Page #5

I never wanted it to be like this.

Liar! You spent your whole life

making it like this!

- I hate you! I hate you!

- One clay I'll explain all this.

Right now,

the less you know, the better.

- What's happening? I'm frightened!

- Shh. It's all right. It's just the drugs.

I need you to be calm. Please.

I need you to let me do this.

Please stay with us.

- Please.

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That book's really scary.

Why did you give it to me?

Sorry, I didn't wanna wake you.

There was this bit where the sun was

dying and there were no more people.

Just these horrid giant crabs. We're

not going to end up like that, are we?

Why would someone want to write that?

No, we won't. I'm going

to make sure everything's all right.

Why didn't you come earlier?

I'm sorry.

There's something going on.

It's work.

Try and get back to sleep, OK?

I told you, she always does that

when the people upstairs argue.

It's the middle of the night.

There's no one's arguing.

Get down.

And don't come out till I say so.

- You're not going to shoot anyone?

- Get down.

- Please don't kill anyone!

- Shh.

Ben!

Christ!

No!

Hold it! Angie, get in here.

- Oh, my God! Ben!

- Get him out of here.

Don't even think about it!

Show me your arm.

'An old gunshot wound. '

'Probably from when he was a kid. '

'They're called Morlocks.

- 'They're called Morlocks. '

- 'Morlock?'

'Probably did it

when he was a kid. '

Frank? Frank? Frank, please!

Frank, we need to get Ben to a hospital.

- Keep him back!

- OK.

Get him back, Angie!

Dad! What happened to those men?

- Get in.

- Aren't you coming with us?

- Get him out of the city.

- We're not going without you.

Shh, shh, shh. Go north.

Eddie's got a place up there.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

Go to the airport and buy two tickets.

There's a plane that leaves

in less than two hours.

Don't leave us, Daddy.

I'm frightened!

Frank, I don't understand.

I don't understand.

If I come with you, they will kill us all.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

You deserve better than me.

Shh. Be brave. Be brave.

Be brave.

Now, soldier, you have got

the whole of your life ahead of you.

- You are gonna do amazing things.

- Daddy!

And if I hadn't screwed up everything,

I would've earned the right...

to be there to watch.

Oh, God! Frank!

Remember... I love you.

Now go. Go!

So the watch you gave me,

it wasn't 20 years fast after all.

No.

The body, the...

The E6 I found was...

I think it was my son.

- What?

- My son, Ben.

He must've been looking for you.

But why would he come looking for me?

I'm not a scientist any more.

This... this, this word "Morlock"

I don't understand it.

But you... you understand it.

You think he was looking for me?

What does a son do when he's in trouble?

He goes in search of the father.

For centuries, man has been

trying to create a machine

that would help him

pass through time.

But all the while,

everything he needed was in here.

This... this is the time machine.

And the drug is the key.

This changes everything.

This technology in the hands

of the wrong people...

I have to go back.

I have to try and stop them.

A fellow countrymen of mine,

he... he spent his life

studying what he called

the "Great River".

Novikov he was called. Igor Novikov.

He had this theory, a principle,

that even if time travel existed,

we could not change

the course of history.

The best we could hope for

is to change the detail.

The river flows on relentless.

Waste of time...

I wouldn't if I were you.

- Frank! Oh, we've been worried sick.

- Don't.

- Come on, we're on your side.

- Don't f*** with me, Nolan.

- How much do you know?

- What do you mean?

- Have we signed a deal with Ambro?

- We?

The police.

Answer.

Answer me!

Yes.

- When?

- What does it matter?

- It's over. It's done.

- Done?

You have no idea what you've done.

What do you know?

You're just a Dreck.

Just the scum who clear up

after the scum!

Who the hell are you?

Where is he?

How did you find him?

The beauty of it is he found us.

Oh, my God. Look at you.

You've been in the wars a bit,

haven't you, Frank?

I mean, how could you have

just disappeared like that,

without leaving word?

A family man like you.

Where is he? Where is Ben?

Is that right, "Ben"? It is?

Where is Ben, Frank?

Now we don't want to hurt him.

Quite the opposite.

We had to ensure that he survives.

Why?

You already have the drug.

Yeah, well, we have and we haven't.

We only have a partial formula.

The drug we're using is very unstable,

so as you've seen,

it's only effective in short doses,

meaning we can send you

where we want,

but unless you're dead,

we can't keep you there.

So the drug's virtually useless.

We have enough to follow him

in the hope that he has

a complete sample in his brain.

But you know that, don't you, Frank?

You know that he's precious cargo.

We need him to be strong and healthy...

and safe.

I mean, we'll find him.

We'll find him eventually.

You know, the longer he's out there,

u n protected...

Why don't you do us all a favour

and just tell us where he is, Frank?

Speed this up a bit, right?

Please.

I don't have time for this.

Time...

The most precious commodity.

He who controls time,

controls everything.

Oh! Yeah, well, I knew

there was someone missing.

No, Frank. No, don't do it. No!

Yuri...

Tell us where the boy is,

then we can leave all this behind us.

No, Frank. Don't.

This... This doesn't make me

happy at all.

But I think you understand,

you leave me with no other choice.

No, Frank.

I know! I know, why don't we get Yuri

to call him for us? Shall we do that?

No, listen.

He doesn't know where he is!

- What's the number?

- No, don't.

- Here we go. Say hello.

- No, please, no!

Now look what you made me do!

Now there's a bloody mess!

Now we have to clear it up!

Bring it, please.

No...

You know, it's funny,

but for a drugs manufacturer,

I'm really not very good at this at all.

This is your last chance, Mr Grieves.

- Oh, you motherf***er!

- Grieves!

Well, look at that.

You two...

You're supposed to be detectives.

If you place any value

on your lives at all, find that boy.

Get rid of this one too,

while you're at it.

Just tell us where the boy is.

- You know I'd die first.

- That's the problem, Frankie.

We can't let you.

Until you tell us where Ben is,

we're just gonna keep hurting you.

And then when it looks like

you're gonna die, we'll stop.

Then when you recover a little,

we'll start all over again.

Don't you miss this, Frankie?

How easy it used to be to escape?

Just to disappear.

Even for a while, eh?

I've got the munchies.

Frank! Frank!

Nolan, what the f*** are you doing?

I'm not an idiot. When you give them

what they want, they'll kill me as well.

If there's two of us,

I might get out alive.

You think Ambro was telling the truth?

You really think that all he wants

is to keep Ben alive?

I don't care. Come on.
