Vincent:
This is where the wealthy
and the powerful rule.

It is her world,

a world apart from mine.

Her name... is Catherine.

From the moment I saw her,
she captured my heart

with her beauty,

her warmth and her courage.

I knew then, as I know now,

she would change my life...

Forever.

Catherine:
He comes from a secret place,
far below the city streets,

hiding his face from strangers,

safe from hate and harm.

He brought me there
to save my life.

And now, wherever I go,
he is with me in spirit.

For we have a bond stronger
than friendship or love.

And although
we cannot be together,

we will never, ever be apart.

You never would have been
able to indict Max Avery

without his testimony.

If he wants a key
to the city,

I suggest you
talk to the mayor.

Mr. Maxwell, I already have
the key to the city,

and you'd be amazed at
how few doors it unlocks.

All we're asking is
that something be done

about Luz corrales.

I wasn't aware it was against
the law to oppose Elliot burch.

Miss Chandler is right.

I sympathize with your
frustration, Mr. Burch,

but it's not the province
of this office

to embroil itself in politics.

Do you know how much
Elliot burch pays

this city every
year in taxes?

I don't think that's
the issue here at all.

Look, we're
getting nowhere.

Mr. Roth, would you
mind stepping outside

just for a minute?

Roth:
Elliot, I don't
think that's wise.

Elliot:
I do. Please.

Look, I recognize the
burch tower's controversial.

I'm not asking you
to silence my critics.

You could have fooled me.

Let him say his peace, Joe.

Elliot:
Thank you, miss Chandler.

Lawsuits, pickets,
newspaper editorials

we can deal with,
but when the opposition

resorts to sabotage,
to theft of equipment,

harassment...
I can't believe Luz
would condone

that sort of thing.

Max Avery has far
fewer scruples.

I took him down,
and he's returning the favor.

All right, Mr. Burch,
we'll look into it.

If we find that Avery is
the cause of your troubles,

we'll see what we can do.

That's all I ask. Thank you.

Thanks for the help
in there.

It's our job.

You have the same
rights as anyone else.

Still, I appreciate it.
I mean...

You know, especially
since you agree with Luz.

I'm not your
enemy, Elliot.

I just think your
tower is a bad idea.

Well, I'd love an opportunity
to change your mind.

Why? The work has started;
You already have your permit.

It's going up with or
without my approval.

It's true enough.

But I would like your
approval regardless.

Okay. I'll listen.

I owe you that much.

(Knock on door, door opens)

I wasn't sure you'd still
be here at this hour.

This is early.

Most nights
I don't go home at all.

I hate to sleep-- it's such
a waste of precious time.

We all need to sleep, Elliot.

We need to dream.

I know all about dreams.

Here.
What do you see?

Three billion dollars.

(Laughs):
No.

This is the stuff
that dreams are made of.

You've built skyscrapers before.

They were just buildings.

This... I've waited my whole
life to build this tower.

Look at it.
It's a 152 stories.

Offices and apartments
and shops.

Theaters. Botancial gardens.

Nine restaurants. A six-story
waterfall in the atrium.

It's a city within a city,
Cathy.

Restaurants and a waterfall
won't make it any less...

Less...

Large?

It's going to impact on the
lives of thousands of people.

It'll change the neighborhood,
the city.

Change isn't always bad, Cathy.

Let me show you
something.

(Clears throat)

Three of my buildings
are in that shot.

Can you point them out?

Don't worry.
Neither can I.

I remember the first time I saw
the skyline in New York.

Empire state.
Chrysler building.

I looked at them, and I knew
this is where I belonged.

This was a town where
anything was possible.

This town made me
what I am, Cathy.

And now I'm going to give
something back.

Your world and mine.

She tells US stories
on these walls.

Reminds US that we are all
a part of one great city.

It's lovely, Vincent.

(Distant rhythmic tapping
on pipes)

(Water trickling)

She must be an
extraordinary woman

to take bare, gray
walls and fill them

with so much
color and beauty.

Elizabeth is a mystery,
even to US.

No one know when
she left the world
above or why.

She refuses to speak
of such things.

(Explosion)

What was that?

For weeks now, these explosions
have grown louder and closer.

Most excavation will stop
well above our level,

but this new tower...

Sinks its roots deep
into the earth, deeper than

any building
has ever gone before.

The burch tower?

Mouse estimates that
they'll break through

in less than a week.

(Sighs):
We're helpless to stop
this tower,

but if it's not stopped...

For all the things, it could
be the end of our world.

♪ ♪

Who's there?

Vincent.

Well, come closer child.
Come see what I'm doing.

This is as if you saw it
with your own eyes.

I did. In a way.

You're not my only
visitor, you know.

Mouse brings me my paints.

Sometimes Mary comes, or Sarah.

They tell me stories,
and I put the stories
on the wall.

So, it's not
magic after all.

I leave that kind of
thing to Narcissa.

I think you have your
own magic, Elizabeth.

So, have you come here
to tell me a new story?

Or did father tell you
to carry me off?

No one will take you anywhere
you don't wish to go.

But the lower chambers are safer

and full of empty walls
calling out for your heart.

Rock walls?

No, those walls are no good,
child.

Not smooth like these.

The blasting...

I know all about the blasting.

It makes no never-mind.
I'm not finished!

You have to finish
what you start.

(Distant rumbling)

Father believes these
tunnels could collapse

any day now.

You could be killed.

This is my life.
It's... here.

On these walls.

You didn't think I was
going to live forever,

did you, child?

(Distant rumbling)

The excavation will reveal
at least

four levels;
Possibly five or six.

And even if we start sealing up

all the surrounding tunnels
today,

there's no way
to minimize the exposure.

No. Relocation
is the only answer.

You know as well as I do

that Elizabeth will never
agree to relocate.

We can't just wash
our hands of her.

Well, Sarah, what would
you have US do?

Take her to someplace safe.
It's for her own good.

She does not wish to go.

The painted tunnels aren't safe.

She could be crushed,
buried alive.

She knows that.

But she will not leave her work.

Then she must be made to leave.

The paintings are beautiful,
yes,

but they're not worth her life.

Elizabeth says
they are her life.

Who are we to tell her
that she's wrong?

Yes, but we cannot stand by idly
and let a woman die.

No one dies.

Figured it out.

Do you have a plan, mouse?

Good plan.

Better than good.
Better than better.

Can't build where
there's water.

Flood the foundation,
that's all.

Make them stop.

And how do you propose
to do that?

Underground river
runs here.

Mm-hmm.
Break through the wall,
dig a channel, move the water

here, here and here.

Water won't run uphill.
We'll have to make it.

Mouse, have you any
conception how many man hours

it would take to divert
an underground river?

Better start right now.

No, I'm sorry, mouse,

but I'm afraid your
plan is impossible.

Your heart does you credit.

But father's right.

Oh, look what you made me do!

I had just broken into
the Pentagon computer.

I was going to disarm
all the warheads.

Now I'm back to square one.

I'd swear that looked like
a home shopping program.

If a nuclear war breaks out this
afternoon, it's all your fault.

I suppose you want to know
about the Luz corrales?

Yeah.

I went to law
school with Luz.

We weren't exactly
friends, but I can't
picture getting

involved with scum
like Max Avery.

The machine says Lois
is so clean, she squeaks.

Live modestly.
Takes care of her aging mother.

Rides a subway.
Not so much as a parking ticket.

Why do I get the feeling you're
about to drop the other shoe?

Her group.

Had maybe about 350 dues-paying
members six months ago.

Now they nearly got a thousand.

And how does $50,000
in recent anonymous

donations strike you?

I haven't seen her
since we took the bar.

Maybe it's time
for a reunion.
Yeah.

(Knock on door)

Luz?
Yeah?

Hi. I appreciate you
coming on such short notice.

Yeah. Well, you
got me curious.

It's been a long time
since law school.

Nice place you got here.

Thank you. Come in.

Can I get you something
to drink?

A glass of wine?

A beer would
be nice.

Beer it is.

You've been doing good work.

Seems like every week
I see your name in he paper.

Yeah, well, you've
got to keep the
headlines coming

otherwise the
contributions dry up.

So, Catherine, how
are things at your
daddy's law firm?

I left my father's firm
a year ago.

I'm with the da now.

I wanted to talk to you
about burch tower.

I didn't think this was
just for old time's sake.

We don't call it the tower,
you know.

To US, it's the monster.

It's going to devour
that whole neighborhood.

You know, burch's people
have studies to prove

the whole area
will be revitalized.

Sure. All the sidewalk
hustlers and bagladies

will be revitalized
to another part of the city.

All the discount stores will
be revitalized into boutiques.

The rent for five blocks around
will be revitalized

right through the roof
and all the old people

and black people
and brown people

will be revitalized
into yuppies.

Never mind, though.

There's going to be a waterfall
in the lobby.

It'll make everything okay.

Well, excavation is already
under way.

I mean, how can you hope
to stop it now?

We're going to take Elliot burch
to court.

Class action suit on behalf
of the whole neighborhood.

We can use a donation.

You've been getting a lot
of donations lately.

Aren't you concerned about
where they're coming from?

Money is money.

It pays for the legal fees,
buys the ads.

Our landlord gets a bit testy
if we don't pay the rent

on the storefront.

Our offices is concerned
that this money is coming

from Max Avery.

What are you saying?

That we're taking dirty money?

Look, I think I've heard enough.

Luz, Luz.

All I'm saying is,
be careful.

Sometimes our commitment
can blind US.

Since when did
you know anything
about commitment?

Did you buy some with
your daddy's credit card?

Maybe you didn't deserve that.
I don't know.

We'll look into it.
I don't like being used.

Thanks for the beer.

You're welcome.

Vincent, Jamie
has just returned.

She tells me that she's
found a whole series

of chambers 600 feet down.

Near the
whispering gallery.

Maybe we should
go take a look.

I know those chambers.

When the rains are heavy,
they are likely to flood.

Oh, my god.

And, of course, it we get
below the levels of the pipes,

we'll have no communication.

(Sighs)

It's all been taken away
from US, Vincent.

The work of lifetimes.

Everything we've built-- lost.

What's lost can be found
again...

Built again...
As long as we have each other.

Our world will survive.

I wish I could believe that.

I've got three
kinds of green,

yellow, lots of orange.

Oh, good! I was
almost out of orange.

Thank you, mouse.
You're a dear child.

(Explosion)

(Loud rumbling)

(Rumbling subsides)

Look what they've done.

It's not fair.
They have no right.

I'm going to stop it.

Look. Just another
stupid tower.

Got plenty on top.
Don't need this one.

I'll fix it.

But it's so big.
How can you stop it?

Vincent's not the only one
who can do things.

You'll see.

Good as done.

Don't worry!

Elizabeth.

Hello, child.

So, this is where
you live.

Oh, it's very sweet.

I had one of these once.

Oh, it was a long time
ago, but I remember.

Only mine was silver.

Elizabeth, we're both
delighted to see you.

But...
But?

I never leave my
paintings, do I?

Hmm-mm.

And you can't imagine
why I'm here.

But I'm not so old
as all that, you know.
(Chuckles)

And I get around
better than some

when I have a mind to.

So tell me, why are
you here now?

Mouse, the dear child,
he went off to help me.

And I tried to go
back to work...

But I can't stop
fretting about him.

He's a rather odd boy,
have you noticed?

And it's such
a large tower.

I'm just not sure
that he's going to...

Do you have any idea
where he's gone?

Up, up, you know,
to stop that damn blasting.

Elizabeth, thank you.

Burch's men are holding mouse.

They caught him
at the excavation.

He was trying

Was he arrested?

There were no police.

That's something anyway.

I'll see what I can do.

Don't worry, Vincent.

Let me take the little
puke outside, huh?

I'll get the truth out of him.

There's no need.

I'm sure our friend is
going to be reasonable.

So, your name is mouse?

Who sent you?

Nobody.

What's this for?

Makes things sweet.

Is that so?

And I suppose this is
for making pottery?

Mister, you're not fooling
anybody.

You don't think we know
plastic explosives?

You were going to sugar
a little gas tanks.

Set off an explosion or two.

Do you have any idea
how much trouble you are in?

I want to go.

You're not going anywhere.

Maybe we need to start
all over again.

What is your real name?

Do you have any idea how much
that equipment costs, Simon?

Listen, if he'd done
any serious damage, we'd...

He what?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

First you telling me that
he's some dimwit dressed

now you're telling me that he
wants to talk to his attorney?

(Knock at door)

Catherine Chandler.
I'll get back to you.

Would you mind telling me
what the hell is going on?

Your security people are
exceeding their authority.

That's what's going on.

They apprehended a trespasser.

Fine. Then call the police

and have him charged
with trespassing.

And you'd better
cross your fingers

he doesn't sue you
for false imprisonment.

Here.
You call the police.

(Sighs)

Let him go, Elliot.

He won't bother you again,
I promise.

He asked for you.

He doesn't know the name of the
president of the United States,

but he knows your name.

Now, I find that
just a little curious.

Please just let him go.

No harm was done.

What good would it do you
to have him arrested?

I might get a few answers.

A few months ago,
you came to me,

you needed my help,
but you couldn't explain why.

Trust me, you said.

Well, trust is a two-way street.

If you want me
to let this person go,

then trust me enough to answer
some of my questions.

You can't barter for trust,
Elliot.

(Sighs)

And I can't tell you
what you want to know.

I made a promise.

Well, then why should I
let him go?

Because I'm asking you to.

Well, first thing we
have to do is take
whatever steps

are necessary to
raise the bail money.

We all have items
of some value

which we can exchange
for money in the
world above.

And we can call upon
our helpers. Yes.

Catherine will
not fail US.

You know, I blame myself
for this, Vincent.

I should have been stricter.

Mouse was such a wild spirit.

There's no telling how
much damage will occur

to him in one
of their jails.

Whatever happens,
mouse will survive.

He's survived for
years by himself.

A shadow, moving among US,
taking bits of food.

Watching US...

Until you caught him.

I remember the way
he kicked and screamed.

Oh, Catherine.
What's happened to mouse?

Here.

Cathy, we have to thank you.

Mouse, well, I hope
this experience

has taught you a lesson.

Yes.
Good.

Shouldn't get caught.

Come here a minute,
will you?

Come along.
Come with me.

It is time you and I
had a long, long talk.

No, I'm not annoyed
that you got caught.

I am just annoyed that
you were in a place

where you could
get caught.

Now, what I mean to say is,
it's totally unacceptable

(voice trails off):
That you should be
in such a...

Your heart is
full of turmoil.

It's Elliot.

(Sighs)

It was so easy
when I thought I was
falling in love.

And even easier when I was
certain he was evil.

But now...

Now you see him
as he truly is.

Good and bad.

Strong and weak.

Capable of great deeds
and great wrongs.

A human being.

(Sighs):
Yes, with human
feelings.

I feel like I'm trading
on his feelings.

Elliot.

What are you doing here?

Do you know what
time it is?

Uh, almost dawn?

That's okay, I mean, as long
as it's not too late.

Um, I couldn't sleep.
I need to talk.

Come on in.
Thanks.

(Sighs):
It's been a long night
for both of US.

I have to be at work
in a few hours.

I could make US some coffee.

I could use some.

Instant okay?

Anything is fine,
I don't care.

I could never get
enough of the city.

Thanks.

Ah, how beautiful
she looks.

You ought to be able
to see the tower,

way to the south
about in there.

Elliot, you're not here to
talk about the tower.

What is it?

(Chuckles):
I never quite felt like this
before.

After I released your friend,
my security chief called me up

and very politely asked me
if I'd lost my mind.

You did the right thing.

Yes. I seem to making a habit
of that because of you.

Cathy, I'm in love with you.

I've had other relationships,

but from the very first moment
that I set eyes on you,

I knew you were different.

And then when you walked
out of my life,

that was really different.

I mean... I wanted you
twice as much.

Because you couldn't have me.

That's obsession, Elliot.
That's not love.

At first, yes.

But then when you came to me
and you needed my help,

right then, I knew
that I could make you mine.

I know desperation
when I see it.

When somebody has something
I want, I take it.

I mean, I go for the win.
It's what I do.

It's what I am.

No, it's what I've become.

But not that day. Why?

Because you're a decent man

who couldn't turn his back
on a friend.

I don't have any friends, Cathy.

Somewhere... on the way up,
friends became inconvenient.

Love can be pretty
inconvenient, too.

You don't have
to tell me that.

You think I wanted to be
this out of control?

I feel like a 14-year-old boy.

I'm confused and
awkward and scared.

I'm never
scared, Cathy.

I don't allow
myself to be scared.

You know, despite everything,

I'd rather be here now with you
than any place else on earth.

There's nothing I can do
about the past.

But there's plenty that we can
do about the future together.

Cathy, I'm asking you
to marry me.

Elliot...

Don't say anything.
Not now.

All I ask is that you think
about it seriously

after you've had a little sleep.

Sleep won't change anything.

It might.

I mean, give me
that much at least.

I didn't ask for this, Cathy.

But it is real.
And I do love you.

And I'd do anything in the world
to make you happy

if you give me the chance.

Elliot (voice echoing):
I've waited my whole life
to build this tower.

Vincent:
We're helpless
to stop this tower.

Elliot:
And I do love you.

Vincent:
Father thinks, it could
be the end of our world.

Elliot:
And I'd do anything in the
world to make you happy.

Vincent:
It could be the end
of our world.

Elliot:
Cathy, I'm asking you
to marry me.

(Banging on desk)

Luz, what's wrong?

You know damn well.

I hope you're proud.

I don't know anything
about this.

The hell you don't.

You set US up, launched
some bogus investigation

and then leaked
it to the press.

I know how the
game's played.

It doesn't say that
you're guilty of anything,

only that we're investigating.

Well, that's enough.

Who's going to give money
to a community group

that's being investigated
by the district attorney?

Even our attorneys
are backing off.

We're going to have to
drop the class action.

Congratulations. You just gave
Elliot burch his monster.

I wouldn't be quite
so self-righteous

if I were you,
miss corrales.

We've been running
background checks

on some of your new members.

So far, we found about
70 with ties to Max Avery.

And there's still a lot
of names on that list.

I should have known.

Your kind all sticks
together, right?

The old boy's network.

Only now, they let a
few little girls play, too.

Next time they need
a name for a hurricane,

I know what i'm
going to suggest.

Well.

Catherine, no!

I have to.
It's the only way.

With Luz discredited, nothing
stands in the way of the tower.

Elliot leaked the story,
I'm sure of it.

Luz stood in his way,
so he removed her

and used me to do it.

How can you even consider
a union with such a man?

He's a human being.

Strong and weak. Good and bad.

You said so yourself, Vincent.

And he loves me... as much
as a man like Elliot can love.

But you do not
love this man.
No.

But there is more at stake
than just me here.

The painted tunnels,
Elizabeth...

Father and mouse...

All the children who
have found safety below

and you-- you most of all.

Vincent, you have risked your
life for me a hundred times.

How can I stand by and watch
your world be destroyed

when I have the power
to save it?

I cannot allow you to sacrifice
yourself in such a way.

I'm sorry, Vincent,
but it's not your decision.

I'm going to marry him.

I have to.

(Screams in agony)

I don't care what we did
on the last project!

Listen, code isn't
good enough.

I want this building
to stand

for hundreds of years.

(Phone rings)

Yeah.

Well... send her in.

Out. I'll deal
with you later.

Cathy, you didn't
take very long.

I didn't expect
you to...

Yes, Elliot, I'll marry you.

Oh, that's wonderful.

You won't be sorry.

Listen, go anywhere you want in
the world for the honeymoon.

Once I finish
the tower...

I want you to halt construction
on the tower.

Stop the tower...
Is this a joke?

No joke.

You say you love me,
you'll do anything for me.

Cathy, no no no.
You don't understand.

The tower is the most important
thing in my life besides you.

I mean, the two
of US up on top

watching dawn break
over Manhattan,

together with you
beside me...

No. It can't be.

Yes.

It's just a building, Elliot.

People are more important
than buildings.

More important that dreams,
even.

And if you pick up the phone
and stop the tower right now,

then I know
you believe that, too.

And then I'll marry you
and trust you.

I can't.

I understand.

(Distant car horns honking)

(Phone ringing)

Boy, you look rotten.

Someone just run
over your puppy?

Something like that.

Bet you want to look
over these corrales stuff.

Almost 200 ringers.

Who would have believed it?

I've been sniffing up
the paper trail to see

who signs the checks,

but looks like Avery knows
how to cover his tracks.

They were drawing paychecks?

Yep.

We got a court order freezing
Avery's assets.

Where is he getting the money?

Cayman Islands. Some kind of
holding company.

Max Avery wouldn't know
the Cayman Islands

from staten island.

Joe, we've been conned.

It's not Max Avery
who's been paying people

to sign up with Luz.

What are you talking about,
Radcliffe?

Who else could it be?

Someone who has an interest

in making sure
Luz looks tainted.

Someone who could
put Max Avery's old goons

on his payroll
and not even blink!

Someone subtle enough
to launder his money through

a number of accounts
in the Cayman Islands

so it can't be traced back!

I knew we shouldn't

have trusted burch.

Put me through to Marino.

No, I can't wait!

We're going for
an injunction
against burch tower.

I thought I would never
see your face again.

When you walked away from me,

there was such resolve
in your heart.

It was the hardest thing
I've done in my life.

And the noblest.

Every step was like a knife
inside me.

All my love for you
was calling me back.

But a greater love
drove you onward.

Your strength saved US all.

Yet I feel your melancholy.

(Sighs)

I was just thinking of Elliot.

Vincent, you helped me find
the best part of who I am.

But, Elliot, he's lost
more than his tower.

He's lost himself.

Elliot:
I met a traveler from an
antique land who said:

Two vast and drunkless legs
of stone stand in the desert.

Near them, on the sand,
half sunk,

a shattered visage lies,

whose frown and wrinkled lip
and sneer of cold command

tell that its sculptor well
those passions read

which yet survive.

Stamped on these
lifeless things,

the hand that mocked them
and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal,
these words appear:

"My name is ozymandias,
king of kings:

Look on my work,
yee almighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains:
Around the decay

of that colossal wreck,
boundless and bare.

The lone and level sands
stretch far away.
