The Lost Future Page #4

---

This boy,

He could be the savior

of mankind.

It's too risky.

Is that not

worth the risk?

We are all immune,

and so are our tribes.

Not your children's

children,

And we have no powder

to give them.

What about their future?

Or the others,

way beyond our lands?

With the yellow powder,

We could come out of hiding

And join forces

against the mutants.

This could be our last chance.

Let go of me!

[Coughing]

Bring them.

[Coughing hoarsely]

[Coughing]

Sir...

We do not recognize them,

So we think

they might be infected.

We've come here

for the yellow powder--

I know why you're here.

[Coughing]

You're wasting

your time, giselle.

She's still a human being.

Not for

much longer.

[Coughing and spluttering]

My daughter

is a compassionate soul.

I'm afraid she doesn't

get it from me.

I can't help you.

Get them off my island

before they turn.

I've come to help you, gagen.

I didn't know i needed help.

When you took

the yellow powder,

You must've known

it wouldn't last forever.

That powder was a gift.

It was given to me.

A gift from

a dying man.

That man was my father.

Your father was jaret?

The one who discovered

the yellow powder.

His dying wish was that

it benefits everyone,

Not be hoarded by one man.

Is that true?

No.

My father could read.

So can i.

I don't believe you.

Hey!

"For abraham lincoln,

"There was no satisfaction

"Over his victory,

"For he had inherited a country

That was tearing itself apart."

I've come to carry on

my father's work.

I can make the yellow powder.

Give us some of yours

so that i will live,

Let us take some to our village,

Then i will make you

as much as you need.

If i fail you,

you can kill me.

You're dying already.

You'll say anything.

First, prove what you say,

and i'll give you the powder.

We don't have

enough time.

Well, then,

you'd better be quick.

What yellow powder

remains

Is for my children's

children.

Outsiders can stay

on the island.

We'll protect them

from the mutants,

But they must work.

We've seen them work.

Unless, of course,

they're infected,

And then i offer them

A quick death,

A courtesy i'll extend

to you and your friend

When the time comes.

If it wasn't for

his father,

We'd all be dead.

Let them have

some of the powder--

Giselle, enough.

Take him into

the library,

And you know

what to do with her.

Was he telling

the truth?

Did you steal

the yellow powder?

It wasn't his father

who kept us alive.

It was me.

There just wasn't enough.

Did you steal it?

You think i'm a tyrant?

I kept us safe.

One day, you will

have children...

And you will understand.

[Muffled scream]

[Quietly]:
i know

you want to help us.

I'm not going to

hurt you.

All right?

[Panting in fear]

Show me where

the powder is.

I can't betray

my father.

How many has he betrayed?

Your friend said

he could make more.

Maybe, eventually,

but he's just stalling.

I'm sorry.

I can't--

Then you're killing us,

And all that's left of my tribe.

Is that what you want?

[Coughing]

I've spent my entire life

Clinging to

a small patch of rock,

Thinking we were

the only ones left,

And they deserve

the chance

You've been given.

I'll take you

to where the powder is kept,

But it won't do you any good.

Where do i start?

It's in there,

but we need the key,

Which is around

my father's neck.

Always.

[Coughing]

When is the last time

he got some powder?

Um... yesterday.

Then this isn't

where he keeps it.

This door hasn't been

opened in a long time.

It doesn't

make sense.

Whenever he

comes out of here,

He always has

the powder.

[Coughing and wheezing]

This is all my father's work.

You really don't know

what you're doing.

I can do this,

just not quickly.

It could take weeks.

If gagen gives us

enough powder for our tribe,

I'll come back and make him

as much as he needs.

Only to find out

this has all be a ruse.

You're out of time.

[Groaning and coughing]

[Sounds of sickness

intensifying]

[Groaning in pain]

Somebody,

End this!

Please...

Remi, do something!

He's an elder.

I can't.

Miru!

[Moaning]

[Gargled cough

becoming beast-Like]

[Shouts]

[He grunts in pain]

[Groaning]

[Panting with emotion]

When it's time,

I hope you do the same for me.

[Coughing]

As i thought.

Give me the powder.

Where do i draw the line?

Hmm?

You know how many people

Have asked me

for the same thing?

You know i can do this.

Or is that

what you're afraid of?

To lose your hold

on all these people?

Father!

There's someone

in the safe room,

Searching for the powder.

[Coughs]

[Gagging and shuddering]

[Gasps]

Don't kill him!

No!

When i tell you,

take a deep breath.

[Inhaling]

Give it

a few minutes.

Dorel doesn't have

a few minutes.

Okay, okay.

Take me to her.

Open the door!

I wouldn't go in there.

She's starting to turn.

She needs more water.

Hey! What

are you doing?

[Yelps]

Breathe.

Dorel...

Breathe!

[Inhales]

Okay...

Okay, come on.

Let's go, babe.

You should

come with us.

I don't want to

leave the island.

And your father?

He'll forgive you

for helping us?

It's you he'll be after.

This is the future

of my people, too.

Tell kaleb to keep his promise

and continue his father's work.

Thank you.

[Gagging and wheezing]

[Kaleb coughs]

[Kaleb coughing]

He has to breathe it in.

Get it in front of

his face!

He's not breathing.

Watch out.

[Punches him hard]

[Winces, inhaling]

Kaleb?

Kaleb, can you

hear me?

Kaleb?

Kaleb, we have the powder,

But we have to

leave now.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey!

Stop!

Stop them!

This way.

Come on!

They're getting away!

Move it!

Kill them!

I'll draw them away.

No, savan!

[Bolt whooshes]

Don't worry, i'll catch up.

After them!

[Bolt snipes]

[Groans in pain]

Let's go!

Go!

Go!

Did you lose them?

They'll want

their powder back.

We can't go

back upriver.

We'll be fighting

the current.

We'll have to

go inland.

How will we

find our way back?

We have kaleb.

He's a good tracker.

[Beasts snarling ferociously]

[Waterfall rumbles]

They've gone overland.

They're still alive.

They must have the powder.

Over there.

Keep going.

[Bolt snipes]

[Screams]

Gagen.

Go!

[Groaning in pain]

Kaleb...

[Kaleb wincing]

Can you run?

[Screaming]

Start picking the beasts off

from the tree line.

It's not much, but it might

give you a chance.

What are you doing?

Kaleb must survive.

I'm not leaving without you.

No--

I'm the chief.

Do as i say.

Savan. Savan!

[Bolt snipes]

Run, dorel!

[Shouting war cry]

Go back! Go back!

No! Savan!

[Screaming]

Oh, my...

[Panting with exhaustion]

We can't stop now.

Come on.

[Footsteps and clanking nearby]

[Horses whinny]

Amal!

Have you got the powder?

Yeah.

Then let's get it

to your people.

[Horses whinnying]

[Coughing]

Remi, please!

Please, you have to help me.

You have to, please!

Please end this now!

Please!

No, i can't!

End it, remi,

please!
