May I join you?

You see that?

I'm 30.

There is nothing wrong with your
television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the
vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to
crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our
imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, We will control all
that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and
mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

Please stand by.

Throughout history, man has been driven
to seek out his origins, to determine

whether he's the result of a divine plan
or merely the sum of all his

yesterdays. But what happens if, at the
end of his search, he should discover

he's neither?

It's a good likeness.

But it has a form she no longer has.

Her body has resumed its previous shape
now that she is no longer with child.

I didn't know.

It's been a while since she was here.

Is she coming back soon?

Maybe.

But first...

We want to make sure she's well enough
to return.

You said she was all right. She is.

But the birth was hard on her body.

At the obelisk, we can keep an eye on
her and on the child.

Then let me go there.

No.

It would mean leaving the community.

It's too far and too dangerous for you.

Will he really grow up to look like us?

Of course.

Both of you created him.

Yes, but we don't look like you.

And you created us.

That's because we have Aurath.

I've told you this before, many times.

It's not necessary for the parent to
look like the child.

But enough of this.

I've brought Crinn with me.

We've decided that it's better for you
and for the community that you have one.

But you said Shaw was coming back.

Eventually.

But in the meantime, Corinne will be
more than suitable as a mate.

I've seen you look at her.

Not the same.

Oh, doesn't she appeal to you?

with her something I don't understand

no

no of course not then you'll accept our
decision

You've been alone too long, Rob.

No, I haven't.

I'm sorry.

The mother's dead.

Come on, Rowan.

Concentrate.

Mother's wrong.

It doesn't respond to mental commands.

Come on, pick up the stick.

I don't know why she thinks she should
live with us.

No matter what I do, it just sits there.

I've forgotten about the boundary.

Good to see you again.

It's good to see you.

I missed you when you weren't here.

What's wrong?

I'm not staying.

They kept our child, Rob.

They took him away from me.

And they want to keep him at the obelisk
until he's older.

My God.

Maybe they didn't think you could look
after him. They're wrong!

I want to get him back.

Why? Because he's important to me.

But isn't he still at the obelisk?

That means you'd have to cross the
boundary again.

Marjorie Bell won't let you.

I know how to take them off.

How?

There's a tool they use.

It's in their house.

I've been with them for a while. I've
been able to watch them.

I can get in their house now without
their knowing.

I can get the tool and I can take off
all the monitor bands.

Why would any of us want that?

This is our home.

We're safe here.

I don't want to go.

I don't know.

I need your help.

But this?

She'll be angry. I don't care.

You should.

Going into Mother's house, taking
something of hers, then leaving the

without telling her?

It isn't right. Taking our child, that
isn't right.

Why can't you understand that?

Don't any of you understand that?

Does this mean you'll come with me?

I thought about how lonely it was when
you weren't here. I don't want to feel

that way again, even if it means leaving
the community.

There's light, but there's no fire. How
is that possible? The Voraks have many

secrets.

What are these things?

I don't know, but I don't like it.

Let's hurry.

Do you know your way back to the
Obelisk?

There's a path, like the one in the open
area, but not as easy to walk on.

There it is.

Michelle.

Mother always said it was dangerous past
the boundary.

That we don't belong there.

And you believe her. Don't you? Not like
I did before they took me away.

Rob, look at this.

It's a reflection.

Like the ones Mother makes of us.

With people in it.

I've never seen them before.

And we were told there weren't any
others.

There's something wrong about this.

About always keeping us here. About
taking our child.

How much further is the obelisk? I don't
know. It's taking longer to walk

through this than I thought.

When night comes, we won't even be able
to see the path.

Maybe we should go back.

If we go back now, they'll never let us
leave again.

We're not going to have another chance.

But maybe there's another way. There
isn't. I asked Mother if I could take

back to the community, and she wouldn't
allow it.

I don't like this any more than you do.

What's wrong?

You

okay?

Stop me!

Part of it's in your leg.

Lucky it was so close to the path.

I'm lucky.

I'm lucky you were here to help me.

Thank you.

I didn't even know what I was doing.

But all I can think about now is what
could have happened.

For a while, I thought I might lose you
forever.

I'm alright now.

Well, if we ever go back, at least we
will have seen the world beyond.

We're not going back, Rob.

No matter what happens, I'm not going
back without our child.

Do you ever think about him, Rob?

What do you mean?

I mean, do you miss him?

Charles needs us.

Both of us.

But, Charles, all I know of him, I know
through you.

I held him once when he was born.

I can't even remember what he looks
like.

He looks different.

He changes.

He's so small, so weak.

When I went to the obelisk, you missed
me.

That's how I feel about him.

Don't you feel the same?

Even a little?

I'm not sure I do.

Take my hand.

home of some sort.

Who?

These aren't Borak.

My God.

The way they were holding it.

It was their child.

They were trying to protect it.

And something went off.

They couldn't.

Like one of my carvings.

Oh, you think they were?

They must be the people in the
reflections that we looked at.

The people we didn't know.

Maybe they're our parents.

Not the Borax.

Do you think they could have been hiding
from the Vorak?

They were hiding from something.

Or they were hiding their child.

Which might explain why they weren't
wearing monitor beds.

So?

They could have taken them off like we
did.

Mother wouldn't find them.

Maybe.

Maybe they took their child from the
obelisk and the Vorak became angry.

I don't know.

It just doesn't make sense.

I mean...

They've looked after us all our lives.
They've never hurt us.

Except when we tried to cross the
boundary.

Except when we wanted to leave the
community.

Look, look.

I remember this from when they took us
to the obelisk.

We're close.

I know we are.

I don't just like it.

Be careful. Don't get too close.

It's okay. I think it's dead.

They're getting closer.

Come on, Charles, try to keep up.

Maybe the crawlers have a boundary just
like we do.

Scrooge, look.

We've made it.

We're at the obelisk.

The edge of the world, Scrooge.

You see what they're doing?

They're always digging for things in the
ground.

I used to watch them when I was staying
here.

They never told me why they did it.

You shouldn't be here.

Your place is in the community.

It wasn't safe to leave.

It wasn't safe to stay.

We saw what you did to our people. I
don't understand.

I'm keeping our child.

But that's impossible.

He must stay here with us. He doesn't
belong with you. He belongs with us as

parents. His own kind.

But we are your... You're not anything.

Not our parents, not our friends,
nothing.

You've lied to us all our lives.

We saw what remains of our parents. And
we saw what you did to them.

We've done nothing.

Think about your child.

Why would you risk his life?

How can you keep him safe out there?

You can't.

You can't look after him the way we can.
I can look after my own.

I can't let you.

Don't touch him!

I'll be hungry.

Oh my god.

It's fortunate that you forgot
something.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have found you.

I thought you were hurt.

I couldn't stand thinking I wasn't going
to see you again.

They only made me sleep.

What about our child?

We took him.

And they tried to punish us.

Yes, we took our child.

Because I hurt one of them.

I was trying to protect you.

I didn't know what to do.

I thought that he might hurt you or hurt
the child.

So I used my cutter.

I couldn't stop myself.

I wasn't thinking.

Now I wish I hadn't done it.

Your hearts are heavy.

Believing the community has been hard on
you.

It's a burden we'd hoped to protect you
from, like fear, guilt, hate.

We never thought you'd go out to find
them all for yourselves.

We went to find our son, and we found
him.

It's a world without pity for its
children, Shaw.

Surely your journey here has taught you
that.

He's so very important.

And yet so fragile.

But we can't keep him from you.

And we can't keep your world from you.

Does that mean you'll let us leave?

That you'll give us our child back?

We will continue to watch over you.

How do we know you won't hurt us?

Like you did our real parents.

We are your real parents, Ralph.

We created you.

Raised you.

Loved you as we would the young of our
own species.

What more could you ask from a parent?

Why does it matter so much that we don't
look like you?

Until the child, you and the rest of
your community were all there was.

But we saw reflections.

It showed that there were people just
like us.

And we saw what remained of them in the
cave where the crawlers were.

Those people disappeared hundreds of
years ago, long before we arrived.

All that's left of them are the bits and
pieces that we've dug out of the ground

and out of the great ice sheet.

But they were like us.

Yes, they were.

Everything you are, everything you have,
is a replica of when they lived.

We found reflections that showed your
culture.

We used our genetic knowledge.

To create all of you from the parts of
them we found.

In a way, they are your parents.

Then what happened to them?

We don't know for sure.

A natural disaster, perhaps, or one of
their own creation.

And who were they?

From what we've discovered, they were
beings who had to be taught.

The value of life born different in
appearance from themselves.

And they did learn, eventually.

Toward the end of their history, they
even resurrected some species they'd

previously driven to extinction.

Much like our mission to reestablish
life, wherever it has vanished.

We believe that any species capable of
correcting such a terrible flaw, of

finally appreciating the beauty that
lies in diversity, deserves a second

chance.

You were right.

He does need both of us.

Every life is a destination unknown.

A journey of tragedies and triumphs that
ultimately allows us to discover not

only our world, but more importantly,
ourselves.
