and famine and what do we do?

We look to science to shed light on cures, ...

possible solutions to avoid

catastrophe, yes?

We've even gone sofar

as to set up ...

institutions all around

the globe to study ...

the idea of violence

and analyze what it is, ...

but you see, I grew impatient.

I was not satisfied with

mere academic acknowledgement.

I wanted something done.

I wanted action.

See.

Peace has remained ...

an unobtainable phenomenon.

Not to sound simple-minded

about it, ...

but it is something that has eluded us ...

since the dawn of time.

Peace never existed.

It was always something that ... uh

we've continually fantasized ...

and evangelized. It was

always out of reach.

A hope that one day, ...

we could take a hold of it.

But I got tired of hoping.

I lost my hope a long time ago.

Till you came.

You're my hope, my

attempt at a solution.

An attempt at peace, if you would,

to see if it truly is ...

out of our reach.

Whether nature denies us ...

this right altogether.

You.

How could you do this to me?

I never had a chance.

A chance at what?

You don't see.

No, I don't see.

I never saw anything

because of you.

I took a chance, I saw the path

you could have taken, ...

I lived it first hand myself.

I saved you from all the sleepless

nights ...

and the annoying emptiness, ...

and the enigmatic pain that

consumes our species.

I wanted to give you something more.

Your mother died in childbirth.

You had no father, no

family, no friends,

So I adopted you.

We tended for you

together, Sarah and myself.

You were our new beginning.

A reason for us to go on,

a reason for us to exist.

Sarah.

Yes, Sarah was my partner.

She loved you like a son.

Too much so.

She grew too attached,

she lost sight of the big picture ...

She wanted to bring you.

Yes!

She could not continue, she

had to leave the project,

leaving me with everything.

So I continued all,

but by that time, ...

you were old enough

to be left alone.

The only thing remaining

was to teach you.

You were truly

bright, your potential of knowledge ...

was prodigious maybe for

lack of stimulation, ...

but you learned at an incredible rate.

Faster than anyone I've ever seen.

It's all right here.

Notebooks, journals.

Two and a half

decades of my work.

Our work.

Look at this.

Do you remember?

Maya.

She never should have found you.

She put all my work in jeopardy.

Bluebell?

Bluebell!

Sarah and I made a mistake.

Maya was our daughter, but

I could not let her ...

influence the project.

So I pushed her away ...

and distanced myself.

She never understood and

after all those years ...

of neglect, she left.

Where is she?

With her mother now, I'm sure.

Learning her

whole life was a lie.

It's a lot to take in,

as I'm sure you're finding out.

Come on, Lucas.

Lift with your legs.

Hold him down.

What are you doing?

Peter did not say

anything about a tattoo.

I don't see Peter here, do you?

I'm in charge now.

Jesus Christ.

You're a liar.

Just another one of the

many, who saw to it that you ...

made it here in one piece.

I've been watching you

for a very long time.

You trust me, don't you?

Of course I trust you,

but this is not your fault, it's his.

No, I took part, I

agreed to this, ...

but we've gone too far.

Can't you see?

He's just a child.

No, he's an experiment.

Was nothing mine?

What is mine?

Someone else's time?

A smile?

What's in here.

What isn't yours?

Everything is yours, you

get to keep it all.

I don't belong here.

I have nothing.

For what?

For this!

Everything comes down to what happens now.

You are free.

Free.

To choose, to act, to forgive.

You have the chance

to renew our hope.

Everything depends on what

you decide to do now.

Remember why you are here, ...

just stick to the plan.

Don't touch me.

Listen to me.

You have every right to be mad.

Believe me, I understand

what you're feeling.

Do you understand how I feel?

You don't get to say that!

You said that you were my brother.

Why did you tell me that?

What did he say?

You said I needed to

kill the Provider.

Just calm down, take it easy.

I want Maya.

We told you, she's gone.

It was too much for her.

She had a choice,

just like you did ...

and she left.

I don't believe you.

You don't?

Did she tell she was leaving?

Or where she was going?

She was taken.

Was she?

Bluebell?

Mam?

Sarah told her all about ...

your pittiful existence,

if you can even call it that.

How you eat scraps in the dark, in ...

the dark down the basement of

a sadistic madman.

She knows who you

are, what you are.

And she left, just like he left.

Why are we here?

Because I trusted

the wrong people.

I was stupid.

I had it.

I lost it all.

Now I got nothing.

That's what happens

when you put faith ...

in the wrong people.

They take it away from you.

You got to remember that.

It's time to end this.

Where is she?

I told you, she's gone.

What did he say to you?

What has he done?

He has ruined everything,

all my work.

Where is she?

Bluebell?

I don't know, I haven't

seen her in a long time.

You took her from me.

No, no, I...

No! I, I ...

You've ruined my life.

I tried to help you,

I tried to save you.

Do you remember the last

thing I said to you, ...

before I let you out?

This is it.

An end to all the silence.

I'm sorry.

Father.

Why have you done this to me?

There will be a day when everything ...

changes for you.

You'll lose everything

you have ever loved.

Everything you held close.

Everything you ever

believed in.

When that time comes, I

want you to remember ...

what I tell you now.

I have loved you as a son.

Know that everything you've been through, ...

everything I never gave you ...

was out of love.

You can't understand it

now, but you will.

The next stop is Seven Sisters.

You are everything I worked for ...

and hope for.

And you're all that I have left.

It's all come down to one moment ...

and one decision.

Please remember

this and know that ...

I'm sorry.

Are you awake?

Go to sleep.
