The Man from Earth: Holocene Page #9

---

After having a knife fight?

Or a ritual sacrifice?

Okay, Professor Young was leaving.

Maybe he just left.

No, because the Van Gogh is still upstairs.

It doesn't make sense that he would

leave it behind, after all these years.

Okay, listen.

Tara, why don't you and Dr. Jenkins

call all the hospitals, see if he's there.

Liko and I will stay here,

figure out what to do with this.

Sound like a plan?

Oh, boy...

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

John?

Harry.

John.

Oh, my God.

Hah.

Well, I got your letter, obviously.

I was surprised to hear from you,

to say the least. And a letter.

(HARRY LAUGHS)

Well,

technology is not my friend these days.

(HARRY GRUNTS)

(EXHALES, BREATHING DEEPLY)

It was a lot to absorb, John.

I know.

How are you feeling?

Still sore.

I'm not used to being injured

for an extended period of time.

It's only been six weeks.

I've had much worse, and I'm

usually up in a couple of days.

This is different, Harry.

How so?

I don't know.

But I hope I'll find out soon.

I like the beard.

Reminds me of a Schnauzer I had once.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(Ouch. Ouch.)

No, no.

I got it.

Okay.

So you're living here?

Uh, yes.

- How much longer?

- I don't know.

Hmm.

I think I found a name for myself, Harry.

A classification.

- 'Holocene Man'.

- Ah, your dates are a little off.

The Holocene only goes back 12,000 years.

And you, you're...

Oh, I know.

(HARRY CHUCKLES)

I saw the ice melt, watched

the birth of the epoch.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, well, the scientific

community is starting

to coalesce around the idea

that the Holocene's over.

We're now living in the Anthropocene.

Ta-da!

The impact of man's activities on the planet

being so severe, it's changed it permanently,

creating a whole new epoch.

That would explain a thing

or two about my condition.

End of an era.

Oh, John.

Come on, don't talk like that.

Well, everything ends.

And apparently, nobody lives forever.

What is it?

John, I didn't do this, come here,

for any reason, except you asked.

But since we're here, and since we're

talking, I could really use your help.

It's my dad. He's been sick for a while.

And now...

Would you be willing to come home with me?

Just for a while?

(CHUCKLES)

I think he would really like to meet you.

I'll go check my calendar.

But I think I'm free.

- Let's go.

- Thank you.

("WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN"

BY TURTLE PLAYS)

(KNOCKS AT DOOR)

- Dr. Jenkins?

- Yeah.

Angelo Garcetti, FBI.

FBI?

What can I do for you?

I was hoping we could talk about John Young,

aka John Oldman, aka John Magdel.

Yeah, yeah.

I know who you mean.

I don't know where he is, if

that's what you want to know.

Oh, I'm aware of that. If you knew

where he was, I'd know where he was.

Oh.

Is that so?

- Do you think he kidnapped Philip Nichols?

- I hope not.

I'd hate to think he'd hurt a kid.

You have reason to believe

he's capable of violence?

He hunts large animals with a bow and arrow,

and he butchers them with his own hands.

I have no idea what he's capable of.

I see.

You've said this man claims to be immortal?

Sometimes he claims it,

sometimes he denies it.

- Do you think it's true?

- I don't know anymore.

Maybe he's just older than he looks.

You describe him as over six feet, thin,

- with dark hair and eyes.

- Yup.

Interesting.

Why?

What's it to you?

It's a cold case.

Crazy thing. His description

matches a guy, died years ago.

But witnesses keep placing him

at the scene of violent crimes.

Sick, twisted stuff, nightmares.

Always a different name,

different place, but the same description.

I don't think John would

hurt people intentionally.

But he is certainly

a skilled identity fabricator.

Maybe so.

But an immortal, identity-changing

serial killer...

Do you think such a thing could exist?

I think...

anything is possible.

Hi, again.

I hope you enjoyed the film.

As you probably noticed,

we left the ending kind of open,

and that's because

we hope to make another movie,

or possibly even

a television series.

But we can't do any of that

without your support,

and that's why we really appreciate

your decision to go to ManFromEarth.com

and click "Donate".

Whatever amount you think is fair.

You can also help out by

buying a DVD or a Blu-ray.

Once again, we really

appreciate your support.

We thank you for watching the movie,

and for helping to spread the word.
