Taking Earth Page #3

Hi, Ellen, Fran. Pleased to meet

you.

Hello, Ellen. I'm Graeme.

Hi, Graeme, nice

to meet you.

Ellen!

[ominous music]

[quiet piano]

These people that have

come for you, maybe

they'll give up and leave. Leave

you.

They're not that

kind of people.

No, I suppose not.

Have some water.

Thank you, Fran.

Thanks.

Thanks, sweetie.

This is fantastic.

So, everyone here is

looking for someone?

Of course! Aren't you, sweetie?

Yes, of course...

My dad, Devan.

He's an unpleasant man.

Dreadfully annoying,

but what can we do.

And we have to live with

him day after day after

miserable day.

We have to love them, no

matter how horribly old

they are.

It's harder for the

older generation.

They fought wars to

keep the world safe.

And then the world changed

right under their noses,

and they didn't

fit in anymore.

Granny B, I don't know you

that well,

but may I say, you are quite

delightful.

Thank you Graeme, and

I think you're a dish.

[laughter]

Well, laughter keeps

us sane, I suppose.

It sedates all

the worrying!

You and your son

were separated?

Yes, Cameron.

Where do you

imagine he is now?

Well, I don't really

know where he is.

But you know

where he will be.

That's the only thing

keeping me sane right now.

We had a plan in case

we were separated.

A place where we would

meet, about two days from

here.

Well, two days is not

too big of an ask.

That's cutting it

close, Garabon.

I'm just going to have

faith that he's okay until

I find him.

We should all try

and get some sleep.

We've got a long

day tomorrow.

Yes.

We need our rest.

[thunder]

You still up?

Hm?

A storm's coming.

I like it when it rains.

[thunder crashes]

I wish I didn't

have to leave.

Me too.

Looks like it

might rain later.

[adventure music]

I'm believing he's

going to be at the site

tomorrow.

For your sake, I do too.

But you should

not go alone.

Oh, I have to.

I mean, everyone's trying

to find their families.

Eventually, we're all

going to head off in

different directions.

Look, I know I'm not going

to find my father, he's

already up there

somewhere.

No, Graeme,

don't say that!

The point is, I

will go with you.

I will help you

find your son.

So where exactly

are you meeting him?

Uh...

Over there!

Those hangers.

We should

find food and water.

Chocolate, I hope

they have chocolate.

Aren't we lucky!

We keep finding

abandoned supplies!

Yes, very lucky.

What's wrong?

[music intensifies]

We are not alone.

Ellen, run.

Protect the women!

Run! Run, it's a trap!

Nance?

The blows are fatal.

There are not enough men.

They are attacking me!

Call off the IO's

chasing the woman.

Do it now!

She still has not told

me where the boy is!

Are you hurt?

Are you suggesting you did

not allow this to happen?

Don't be foolish.

It was your decision to

masquerade as a human.

These people are supposed

to be under our control!

Have the controls

been called off?

They have pulled back.

She had better

not be hurt.

Don't let this happen

again, Devanera.

Find who allowed this to

happen,

and don't let it

happen again.

Protect my son!

Graeme?

May I have a

word with you?

Of course.

Graeme, I'm sorry to ask

you this now, but...

I've got to find my son.

Too many people are dying.

I thought I could do

this alone, but now...

You said you

would help me.

Please.

I don't know

what else to do.

Of course, Ellen.

I will help you

find Cameron.

Two groups.

One has an

age-appropriate male.

What do you want to do?

Test the blood

of the boy first.

Bring him to me!

Devanera has received

your progression course.

The deadline

is noon today.

[gunshots]

They're resisting.

Kill the man! Bring the boy!

Shanna!

[gunshots, shouting]

David.

Cameron!

What happened to good

old-fashioned blue spheres?

Now, they're packing

freaking machine guns.

David, don't move.

You gotta teach

me how to do that.

Let's just get the

hell out of here.

Stay down! I think I saw

another!

[gunshots]

Got him, he's down.

That should be it.

What?

That's insane!

Whose stuff was that?

Come on.

[ominous music]

We are aligned

to Devanera.

Devanera, it is time.

Your deadline is upon us.

Garabon's efforts

are commendable.

I do wish he

had succeeded.

I'm still searching for

the one responsible for

Garabon's attack.

A truly shameful act.

What is shameful is what I

intend to do to them when

I find them.

Of course.

We await your

firing command.

Cameron!

This is our spot.

Cameron!

Where is he?

I don't know.

I thought he'd be

here before I was.

I don't understand.

Maybe he is hiding.

He'd come if he

heard my voice.

Cameron!

You said he would be here.

Uh...

I don't know, Graeme.

Maybe he's...

Maybe??

I don't want to hear

'maybe, ' Ellen!

I'm sorry if I upset you.

Looking for this?

You said he would be here!

Who are you?

I am the one you

are running from.

You are Neran...?

I am Garabon.

You are insane.

Yes.

[communicator beeps]

Search this area. Check for any

life forms.

All of this is

because of you!

This will all become ash,

because Camiru was not

where you said

he would be.

This is all

because of you!

You have killed everyone!

Me?

How many people have

died for this cause?

This obsession?

There are casualties

in war, Ellen.

You know this.

This is not their war.

The moment you landed your

ship here, it became their

war.

It is noon.

Return to your

ship, Garabon.

I'm here now. Give me time. The

boy should be close.

Return to your ship.

Prepare for my

fire command.

Listen to me, we have been

on this planet for forty

days. Give me a few more hours.

I am commanding you to

return to your ship.

You will obey me!

It's out of my hands.

This world will end.

[music swells]

[thunder, crackling electricity]

What the hell?

Cameron!

Sh*t!

[ships engines starting]

That's where I was

supposed to meet Ellen.

Do you think

she was there?

What happens if

they found her?

What happens if

they killed her?

No, look, don't

think about that.

Sh*t, it's happening.

They're going to

destroy the planet.

David, we can go

to them in my ship.

What?

Come on!

My ship's in that

mountain, we can go up

there and I'll surrender!

What?

What do you mean, 'we'?

Well, if it doesn't work,

you won't die down here.

Wait, what about Shanna?

Cameron, if this doesn't

work, it won't matter.

Come!

[ship engines humming]

It is safe to proceed.

Garabon is secure

aboard the ship.

Go.

You did not

deserve to die.

And my son?

Camiru is not

your son, Ellen.

He is everything to me.

Then I am truly sorry, for

he will not survive this.

Clear.

Open.

[music intensifies]

This is freakin' awesome.

Are you okay?

This is my first time

flying in a spaceship.

There we go.

Woah...

Core is aligning.

Prepare for the

alignment initiation.

[weapon powering up]

Prepare for the

firing sequence.

How long will it

take us to get there?
