Noah Page #4

---

fish, bird and beast.

Paradise returns.

But this time,

this time there will be no men.

If we were to enter the Garden again,

it would only be to destroy it once more.

No.

The Creator has judged us.

Mankind must end.

Shem and Ila,

you will bury your mother and I.

Ham, you will bury them.

Japheth will lay you to rest.

You, Japheth,

you will be the last man.

And in time you, too,

will return to the dust.

Creation will be left alone,

safe and beautiful.

I'm very sorry about that girl.

And I'm sorry for you.

But we have been entrusted with a task

much greater than our own desires.

Ham.

Noah...

Does he know I'm here?

- Does he know I'm here?

- No, no, no. No.

Why are you helping me?

There was a girl.

I tried to bring her.

But he just let her die.

And now you want revenge.

No.

Yes, you do.

Yes, you do.

There's no more land.

Everything out there must be dead.

It had to be what He wanted.

A world without man.

You see that, don't you?

What I see

is how hard this was for you to do

as a man who respects life,

a man who loves his children.

You've been strong.

But it's done.

It's done now.

And you can put that burden down.

Noah.

It's all right.

If your father found me,

he would kill me.

We must be ready, but I am too weak.

What are you doing?

I must get my strength back.

The beasts are precious.

There are only two of each.

And there is only one of me.

But the rain, all these miracles,

are for them.

Them?

Your father fills a ship with beasts

while children drown.

He belittles you

by telling you you must serve them.

No.

They serve us.

That is the greatness of men.

When The Creator

finished making the sky,

the ground, the sea, and this beast,

He wasn't satisfied.

He needed something greater.

Something to take dominion over it

and subdue it.

So He made us in His image.

Us.

This is your world, Ham.

Seize it.

Ila.

Grandfather.

What is it?

You're not sick.

But that's impossible.

What? What is it?

Noah.

It is his grandchild.

What's wrong?

- Father.

- Noah.

We've come to ask for your blessing.

I don't understand.

I am with Child.

It's not possible.

You're barren.

You can't conceive. How...

- How is that possible?

- Grandfather.

I asked Grandfather...

To what?

Undermine The Creator?

To give our children a future.

To give humanity a future.

Have you any idea what you've done?

All those lives! All those people!

For nothing!

Do you know what this forces me to do?

No!

Please! Please!

Please!

I cannot do this!

Tell me I don't need to do this!

Please.

Have I not done

everything that You asked of me?

Is that not enough?

Why do You not answer me?

Why?

I will not fail You.

I will not fail You.

I will not fail You.

It shall be done.

It shall be done.

Father?

The rains have stopped.

The Creator smiles on our child.

The rains have stopped

because of your child, yes,

but He does not smile.

If your child is a boy,

he will replace Japheth, last man.

Ir it is a girl,

who could mature into a mother,

she must die.

Are you mad?

That is my Child!

If you should bear a girl,

in the moment of her birth,

I will cut her down.

Mother!

Mother, my bird!

Nothing. No mud.

Nothing.

We still have to go.

Ila,

there's nothing.

There's nothing out there.

You have food and water for how long?

Weeks?

- A month?

- A month.

Please wait.

Wait until the bird finds land. Please.

Japheth, send him again.

- He's too tired.

- Then wake another.

Here.

Please. One that can find us a home.

No.

We leave today.

They will die out there.

Not if they stay.

And let you kill their Child?

Noah.

Noah!

I did this.

I did this, Noah!

Please!

Punish me!

Punish me, Noah!

Not them.

Not the child.

Please.

The child is not being punished.

We are all being punished.

All of us.

It's not something I want to do.

It's something I have to do.

It is painful,

but it is just.

Just?

How?

How is this just?

It's a baby, Noah.

If you hold to this,

you will lose your sons, you will lose Ila,

you will lose me.

I love you, Noah.

And I have followed you everywhere.

Through everything.

I forgave you.

When everyone was dead, I forgave you.

I was ready to die with you.

But this

I will never forgive.

Boy or girl, I will never forgive!

And you will die alone!

Not just alone, but hated!

Hated by everyone you love!

That is just!

That is just.

It's time.

Bring him through there.

One blow will finish it.

Just in case, huh?

I don't know if I can.

He killed your woman.

And now

he plots to kill your brother's firstborn.

Is that what you want?

You want your sister to die on the seas?

A man isn't ruled by the heavens.

A man is ruled by his will.

So I ask you,

are you a man?

Good.

Because if you're a man,

you can kill.

But he won't follow me.

Thank you, Japheth.

You take care of that baby.

Don't be afraid, Mother.

We'll see each other in the new world.

Father.

No!

How could you?

I thought you were good!

I thought that's why He chose you.

He chose me because

He knew I would complete the task,

nothing more, son.

Mother.

Mother.

It's your time.

Come. Come with me.

You're all right.

Japheth, stand back.

Come now. Come inside.

That's right. That's right.

You're all right, Ila. You're safe here.

Please keep it inside.

Your baby's coming.

Your baby's coming, Ila.

Don't think about anything else.

Father! Father, they're awake!

They're awake!

They're eating each other!

- The beasts.

- What?

Come.

Come!

It's not possible for them

to have woken up without our help.

Which way, son?

That's right. That's right.

The line of Cain.

I told you,

I'm not afraid of miracles.

That's right.

A bit more.

Boy or girl?

What's happening?

There's another.

Two?

Twins.

Mother, so?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Sisters.

No.

No!

No!

He will not touch our daughters.

No! Shem!

Shem!

I should have killed you

when I killed your father.

Well, now we finish it. Now!

The evils of mankind

will not live in this new Eden.

Leave us! Leave us alone!

He's mine!

The ark, the beasts,

and all of your women are now mine.

I will build a new world in my image!

Now you are a man.

The Creator has not forgotten us.

Her name was Na'el.

She was innocent.

She was good.

It's a boy. It's a boy.

- It's a boy.

- Move away.

It's a boy.

Where is she?

Where is she?

No. No. No.

You can't.

They're beautiful.

They?

You can't kill two.

He sent us what we need.

No.No.No!

You can't!

No!

Noah!

Ila!

Noah.

Please.

These are my children!

Your grandchildren!

I will not be stopped.

I know I cannot stop you,

but they're crying!

Please don't let them die crying.

Let me calm them.

Please, just let them be at peace.

The moon is high

The leaves entwine

Your Father waits for thee

To wrap you in His sheltering wings

To whisper you to sleep

To wrap you in

His welcoming arms

Till the night sky breaks

Your Father is the healing wind

That whispers you to sleep
