to burn your boat

Without the smoke,

I never would have found you

Who's that with you?

Ichthyus Sapien,

is that really you?

I'll throw the rope down

You catch it I'll help you climb up

Helen Where's Enola?

Smokers took her They'd have me too

if it weren't for him

My friend, thank you

Very human of you

Go grab your things quickly

Quickly Come

[ Gregor ] You see?

Right down there

There's several of us survivors

We'll just start over again

[ Man ] You can't ask us

to go get her!

[ Woman ] Enola's the reason

we're in all this trouble

[ Helen ] They don't have any

reason to kill her They need

to find Dryland just like we do

- Of course

- [ Helen ] If the Mariner's

willing to go, why not us?

[ Woman ]

If he wants to go, then let him!

[ Woman #2 ] We don't want you here!

You or the girl!

Helen The papers

the Mariner brought you--

It's the same language the tattoo

is written in They're numbers

- [ Man ] Gregor,

you're as crazy as she is!

- [ Woman ] We can't stay here!

We're wasting valuable time

More Smokers will come

We need to be moving now!

My friends, don't you see we need

this child if we want to find Dryland?

- I'm not goin'

- Nobody is

[ Woman ] We've seen their smoke

on the horizon!

- Know what that is yet?

- The numbers? Y es, I think I do

It seems to be some ancient form

of geographic location:

latitude, longitude

It doesn't make sense, though

The numbers, they seem

to be backwards or something

- It's upside down

- The world?

The poles have reversed themselves?

I've been mappin' the cities below

The world wasn't created in a deluge

It was covered by it

- [ Man ] That's blasphemy!

- [ Helen ] No, it's true

I've seen it with

my own eyes There is land

It's right under our keel

- None of it's dry anymore

- Some is

Enola's been there

I know that now I saw what she drew

So that's why he's going after Enola--

to find Dryland

I don't care about Dryland

This is ridiculous

Going after the Smokers?

He doesn't even know

which direction they came from

- [ Man ] I say let him go

- [ Woman ] We're better off

without them anyway!

If she's alive,

I'll bring her back to you

[ Woman ] Forget the mute-o, Helen

If he brings her back, they'll kill us!

I can't stand it We gotta go help him

I can't ask him to do this alone

Oh, don't worry, my dear

You're not going to have to

[ Deacon ] You got that tattoo

figured out yet?

It would be easier if it was flat--

big and flat

- It needs to be flat

- What you got in mind?

Well, you cut it off her back

You stretch it, mount it

- Give us a proper look

- Take her down below until I holler

Saint Joe, we're close

After centuries of shame

[ Scraping ]

[ Distant Shouting ]

[ Distant Laughter ]

[ Crowd Shouting ]

- They're gettin' ugly

- Don't I know it

Announce me, cousin

[ Crowd Chanting ]

- [ Microphone Popping ]

- Hey Here he is

[ Crowd ] Deacon!

Rise up, brothers and sisters

Turn your eyes and open your hearts

to your humble benefactor,

your spiritual shepherd

and dictator for life,

the Deacon of the 'Deez

[ Crowd Cheering ]

[ Cheering Continues ]

- Look out!

- It's mine! It's mine!

[ Confused Shouting ]

- Deacon!

- Wahoo!

Children

Children of the provider

Citizens of the good ship

Please now, hear me speak

- I've had a vision

- [ Man ] Y eah, we're

tired of your visions!

What about the land

you promised us?

[ Crowd ]

Yeah! Yeah!

[ Deacon ]

O ye of little faith

I've had a vision so great

that as it came to me, I wept

- And in this splenditudinous

figment of wonder,

- Is that Bone's ride?

- Is that blood on the seat?

- I saw--

And you know

what it is that I saw

I saw the land

[ Cheering ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Crowd Chanting ]

- Horse, that you?

- [ Engine Revving ]

Look, just bring it in slow,

okay? I don't have all day

- [ Engine Revs ]

- Horse!

Just bring it up slow

I said slow!

[ Screams ]

Shouldn't be doing that

You're gonna get in trouble

Ha That's right

You're not afraid You've got

your pet freak comin' to rescue you

He's not a freak,

and he can take you anytime

He's killed dozens of people, and he

doesn't have any mercy or anything

He even kills little girls

Haven't we all?

Sh*t

It's Horse

- Find him Find him!

- Come on!

- [ Crowd Chanting ]

- Yes! Yes! Yes!

- Come on

- Gettin' nervous, aren't you?

I don't get nervous

[ Deacon ]

And if there's a river, we'll dam it

And if there's a tree,

we'll ram it

'Cause I'm talkin' progress here

Yes, sir I'm talkin' development

- [ Man ] Yeah!

- For we shall suck and savor

the sweet flavor of Dryland

- [ Crowd Whistling ]

- [ Enola ] Face is all red

- [ Deacon Continues Faintly ]

- Helen said with anybody

that has a face that red,

he's had too much sun

or too much to drink

- All right, that's it

I'm gonna burn your face

- Almost time

- [ Clanging ]

- What's up?

- We're just talkin' about our friend

- [ Doctor ] What's his name?

- [ Enola ] He doesn't have a name

So death can't find him

Nah-nah

Doesn't have a home

or people to care for

He's not afraid of anything,

men least of all

He's fast and strong

like a big wind

He can hear a hundred miles

and see a hundred miles underwater

- [ Gagging ]

- He can hide in the shadow

of the noon sun

He could be right behind you, and you

won't even know it 'til you're dead!

Give it a rest

He'll come for me He will

- [ Deacon Addressing Crowd ]

We are the people--

- Yeah?

- Well, I hope he does

- [ Deacon ] The Lord's creation

Remember you said that

[ Deacon Continues ]

Look at us

- Look at us here today

- [ Man ] Yeah!

Dryland is not just

our destination,

but it is our destiny!

[ Cheering, Whistling ]

Find him Find him!

How can I find

this glorious place?

And he said to me:

"A child shall lead you "

A child

- And behold!

- It's time

The instrument of our salvation!

[ Crowd Cheering ]

[ Deacon ]

Our guide in the wild

[ Deacon ]

Our beacon in the darkness

Turn her around, Nord

She has shown me the path!

[ Cheering ]

And before the holy-most moment

is upon us,

Iet's sacrifice one

to old Saint Joe

And let's get this

tub of sh*t up to speed

Y ep

[ Wild Cheering ]

Pull!

- Pull!

- Pull!

- Pull

- Pull!

Ow

- So which way we rowin'?

- I don't have a goddamn clue

[ Laughs ]

Don't worry

They'll row for a month

before they figure out I'm fakin' it

But, um, wh-wh--

Oh, you want details

Well, I'm not tellin' these savages

that we haven't

solved the map yet

I promised them results,

and I'll get 'em if I gotta

cut 'em out of her goddamn back

Who is that?

Who is that?

Maybe one of

the spare rowers?

Why aren't you rowin'?

- It's him

- It is him

You guys are in

so much trouble

Well, I'll be damned

It's the gentleman guppy

You know, he's like

a turd that won't flush

I want the girl

You know, I thought you

were stupid, friend

- [ Gun Cocking ]

- But I underestimated you

You're a total freakin' retard
