FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

Hello, Jeanne

SHE WHIMPERS

Come with me

SHE INHALES SHARPLY

BIRDSONG

You're not real

You know I am

I was sure you killed my mother

It was better for you to see me as an enemy

So, who are you?

I've come from far off

Men would say from the future, but this concept is irrelevant to me

I don't understand

Why are we here?

This place is on the boundary of time and reality

It's where our species can move around freely

"Our" species?

You really think we're human?

You're an exception, Jeanne not a messiah

You're the essential link

Men won't evolve through thought, morals, or philosophy

Biology will always prevent them from excelling

For two million years, your ancestors have repeated the same mistakes

Mankind is flawed

It must change. That's why you're here

Who are you really?

I'm one of your children

What?

One of your heirs, if you prefer

Others keep saying you have a mission to fulfill

To save the world

To save men from their depravity...

...their savagery, their instincts, and they're right

But they're wrong about how you must save them

Jeanne, listen to me

They're our descendants. Him, Enki, and all the other architects

They're here to fulfill history

Do you understand?

No, I don't understand anything

SHE SOBS

Why are you doing this to me?

Each thing, each event is a link in a long causal chain

This chain leads to my existence

You must want to change it

We can't impose it or influence you

I'm only here to give you the keys

The choice is yours

QUIET CHATTER

CAMERA CLICKS

That's...

William Meyer, yes

Even then he could hear your voice

You've triggered this chain of events

I never wanted this

Like it or not...

...you created two time lines by playing with Meyer's mind

SHE SIGHS

That's not true

You're blaming me for someone else's actions

You and the other Jeanne are one and the same

You need to be reunited CAMERA CLICKS

Where are we?

Where everything must end, if you want it to

I thought it must all end on Mars

Each of you had a path to follow. Yours ends here

You say I have a choice, but you've already decided for me

I'm showing you one possibility

Why not the other? -Because you already know it

You can lead a quiet life...

...as you watch the world collapse around you

What do you want me to say?

You already know all the joys and sadness of their species

I'd rather show you what you don't know

Why do I have to be the one to do it?

Why can't it be you?

You're the cause...

...and we're the result

The result cannot create the cause

Even we can't go against this

We're only here to be sure of our own arrival

We travel through time and space...

...only to observe

Then I should be able to do it, too

Take me back

Take me back now

Jeanne

Don't do this

You can't just give up

I know

Now I know what I must do

RAIN PATTERS

- OK, tell me, what am I looking for?

- We got hold of the archives of the Meyer Foundation.

Pictures, documents, everything.

This is Meyer's 12th birthday, in 1971.

- What am I supposed to be seeing?

Oh. That is...

- Yes, it is.

- The woman's the key.

- I don't get it.

- That's what Becker told Peter before he was dying.

Everything's about her. It always has been.

Meyer was just a pawn, and so was Becker and the guy in this picture.

- But she's... Why haven't they aged?

- Gravitational singularity.

Listen, we need to find her, no matter what.

Alive.

- RUNNING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Stop!

-William, are you OK? -Don't

Sorry, she played me like a fool

Let him go!

It's OK, Marc

-You heard me! Let him go! -Lower your weapons

HE SCREAMS

No! GUNSHOT

HEAVY THUD

SHE GASPS

She destroyed me and she'll destroy everything else

Feel better by thinking that?

You're the one trying to feel better

You saw what she did

She'll do it again, mark my words

She hates us for altering her life

We must stop her...

...while we still can

No

We can't stop now

Maybe we should

You knew the risk you were taking with Asma

You still decided to give her a chance

And she died

You did the only worthy thing

You tried to save and protect her

That's what brought you here

You're here for a reason

I refuse to believe this could all end now

We have to go all the way

She's our only chance. For all of us

If she's supposed to be this way, only good will come out of it

And if you're wrong?

We'll die a little sooner

But at least we'll have tried

Alice

I did it all so you could live

Stop it

Are you sure about this?

How long was I out for?

One night

I didn't want to hurt you

Why did you kill them?

I wasn't myself

It will happen again. And you know it

I can control myself

You think so?

Peter's friends are probably looking for me

And for you as well

No one knows about this place...

...but it's only a matter of days, maybe hours

That's why I need to leave soon

And alone

Let us come with you

We can help you

It's too risky for you to go alone

Where do you have to go?

There

We won't be able to cross Europe unnoticed

I have a plane

Certainly being watched

They won't let us travel so easily

William

Everything OK?

Why wouldn't it be?

Because I'm always the one calling you

When you do, it means something's wrong

I need a favour

I'm listening

I knew I could count on you

William

Yes?

How is Alice?

Good. She's right here

I think we finally understood each other

We'll talk soon

I don't think so

See you soon, then

I won't be far behind

Why did you kill them?

They were no longer a threat

That could've changed

Now, at least, we're sure

DOOR OPENS

We have a plane

We're leaving tomorrow at dawn

FIRE CRACKLES

I'm sorry

Your father

You didn't know

I did

I've spent my life seeing strangers to whom I felt connected

I understood everything...

...but I refused to admit it

And my father?

How did he find out?

I wanted to talk to him

I mean, not me. The other me. She wanted...

I wanted to talk to him

And make him understand that...

...the Alice he'd created shouldn't exist

So I thought about him

I searched for the exact moment...

...when he could prevent the other Alice from harming us

That's it

By doing so, I made a mistake

I opened his mind

The information...

...landed on him horizontally

Yeah

The young Meyer saw what the older knew

The old one was aware of what his young self felt

The time between them vanished

And he also saw inside me

He tried to use that

He saved what he loved above all

You

What will happen to him?

His mind cannot deal with what I shared

Maybe

It would be easier if I knew what to do

To save your father and the world

It sounds so simple, like some fairy tale

Doesn't it?

What if saving the world wasn't what it seems?

What if it meant destroying it?

KNOCK ON DOOR
