- [Announcer] Previously on "Grand Star."

- Palidor we are going to have hearings.

- Regarding what?

- [Cleary] Whether our leadership is fit to rule.

- Get out of here!

Before I decree you all unfit to live.

- Kurt I'm not like you.

Part of me is of the cold.

So I'm gonna walk out of here like a man of the cold,

and I'm gonna be able to do it.

This is my father we're talking about.

I need to get him out of jail,

I was hoping you'd help me set him free.

- [Woman] Is that the only reason why you came here?

- No, I brought the chamber and the formula for the cannon.

- When I'm gone you may fall into hands

less lenient than mine.

- [Cal] He's gone.

- [Man] What about the trial?

Might have been useful.

- Why is it that I understand you so well?

- Because your mother must have been one of us.

- Yes.

Yes, Cal.

(tense music)

(ice crackling)

(tense music)

(vehicle whooshing)

(machines beeping)

(vehicle whooshing)

- This is it, the Renewers' cannon testing site.

Cal might be here.

- You're always so meticulous,

we don't have time to fuss around.

- Shh.

I cannot concentrate with you

constantly tap dancing around me, huh?

- The future of the world

depends on your examination.

And it's no wonder that some of us are really very nervous.

- The chamber is in working order, all right.

And the code is good, and that equation

will tell us when to fire the cannon.

What we have waited for for generation and generation,

the capacity to make a hole

in that wretched crust of cloud

that has kept us in darkness for so long, and,

and to let the sun back into our lives.

- [Zel] Liam, I'm so happy to see you again.

- [Liam] Suki.

- [Zel] Welcome Suki.

- Are you sure the sun is out there?

- Ah (laughs).

You know my dear, if we didn't have

a little bit of a gamble in our affairs

life would be extraordinarily boring.

- Without you, without Cal,

well, we wouldn't have been able to succeed.

And all of us, we're so grateful to you.

- Where is Cal?

- Liam, Cal showed up at the mine.

He gave us the chamber of the cannon and the equation,

and, well...

- And?

- I brought him to a place

where us people of the cold are gathering.

We found Mai, Liam, we found her.

- Mai?

(emotional music)

What are you telling me?

- [Zel] She's alive.

- [Liam] She's alive?

- Who's Mai?

- She's my wife, Cal's mother.

- My father never told me you were alive.

Why didn't you come see me?

You didn't care?

- Cal, of course I cared.

I had no choice.

- What happened?

- I should start.

- From the beginning.

- Your father was on one of his journeys, exploring the ice.

As always he took great risks and he got into trouble.

- Yeah, yeah that sounds familiar.

- Some people of the cold came to help.

And amongst them was a beautiful

young woman of the cold, Mai.

She looked after me.

And when the time came to part.

- We couldn't.

We just couldn't.

- It was the strangest thing.

I just couldn't let her go.

- And so he took me along on his journey.

We spent days and nights together.

- We loved each other.

- [Mai] Finally he had to leave,

and when he came back, several months later.

- Mai was expecting a child.

- And you were born.

And he took me to another area, on a train.

- But there was a pointsman's checkpoint across the track.

I knew that if I stopped the train she'd be arrested,

and the baby would be taken away

because it was the offspring of a mixed couple.

- So your father went through,

and the train derailed.

In the confusion I managed to flee.

Your father and the baby, you, were rescued

and taken care of.

I had to run away.

- I was sure she was dead.

And I searched for her, years.

There was no sign of her.

- I'd been caught and deported to a very distant zone.

- Why, why didn't you come and see me?

- I tried, again and again.

They sent me away to a labor camp.

That's where your friends found me and freed me.

(suspenseful music)

- Everywhere, every train, every compartment,

every little hole.

I want Palidor found.

Can't be that hard to find (laughs).

Bring him to me, dead or alive.

Speak.

- Commander Damien, the clean up is going well.

Anti-social and rebellious elements

are being picked up one after the other.

- Good.

- That's not all, sir.

Among those picked up in the vicinity of the dome

was this creature.

Under interrogation he corroborated some reports

we had from our surveillance units.

- [Damien] Yes?

- Groups of Renewers have been moving

throughout our territory.

They may all be gathering in the same area.

- Where?

Which area?

- We are not sure yet.

- Does it know?

- Maybe.

- Well come back when you've found out.

Oh, and Solveg,

give precise instructions to all departments.

Martial law is to be enforced, immediately.

(suspenseful music)

(footsteps thumping)

(gun beeping)

(guns beeping)

- I'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement.

- [Guard] I don't think so.

(tense music)

- Margot!

Can I talk to you for a second?

Damien's clamping down out there, you have to go.

- What do I risk?

I've been respectful and nice to the pointsman's rules.

I deserve a medal actually.

- This isn't a joke, Margot.

Damien's capable of the worst, if he--

- Well I'll go and ask for my medal.

- People are gonna talk.

Everybody's gonna know that we were behind the power cuts,

we were the ones that were behind stealing the food,

and everything else that we did.

We have to go.

- You know what?

This is when we should be doing a blackout.

It's the only way we can fight Damien.

A blackout.

We're gonna do a blackout right now.

I'm gonna do it anyway, so follow me if you want.

- Margot.

Margot!

(tense music)

- Our authentication codes have been decrypted.

Change to the other code now, go!

They've cracked our communication system.

- Well that leaves us no choice,

we have to leave right away.

Get the cannon ready.

Put everyone on high alert.

- Why didn't you ever tell Cal

his mother was of the cold?

- Because if he knew

he'd always be in danger of telling someone.

- They would have taken you away too

and made a slave out of you.

- Now I understand why I'm different from everyone else.

- Yes, Cal, you are unique.

You are mixed.

The world is not ready to accept that.

- [Cal] I'm not ashamed of who I am.

- Cal's strong, strong enough to deal with who he is.

- Maybe.

Maybe you're right.

- Sir, the creature talked.

We've pinpointed the area.

- The Renewers?

- Yes, sir.

We've also intercepted communications.

It seems the Renewers have managed to assemble their cannon.

And large groups of People of the Cold are moving in too.

There's going to be a massive uprising

combined with their operation.

- Operation?

- The Renewers are ready to shoot

a hole in the sky, Commander.

- (laughs) Shoot a hole in the sky.

This isn't an operation it's an opportunity, Solveg.

An opportunity for us to wipe them out once and for all.

Prepare the special squadrons.

Get Palidor out of his cell and get my train ready.

Prepare the battle to end all battles.

(tense dramatic music)

- I never thought that I'd see this day, never.

- Neither did I.

I have to go.

I have to go to the Renewers' camp

and see if I can get a group of people

to help break my dad free.

- Yes, do that.

I will stay here.

- I'll miss you.

- So will I.

From now on, I'll always be close to you.

Go.

(trains rumbling)

- [Palidor] Why didn't you kill me?

Or put me in a cage?

- I want to keep you in good health, sir.

(Palidor laughs)

- I was hoping you wanted me as an advisor.

(Damien laughs)

- I think I can fend perfectly well myself, thank you.

(Palidor laughs)

- The Renewers are probably testing your leadership,

Commander Damien.

Drawing you out of Grand Star,

because that's where their grand attack will take place.

- Listen, quiet, quiet everybody.

Squadrons of pointsmen have been seen leaving Grand Star.

They must be headed this way.

Secure all the exists.

- Do you know what hydra is Damien?

- No, sir.

- A mythological creature with many heads.

And when you cut them off they grow back immediately.

- You wouldn't be trying to confuse me, now, sir?

- Oh, no Damien.

You're doing that all by yourself.

No, I'm just trying to warn you

as to who the Renewers really are.

- Everybody take up your position.

A pointsman train is approaching.

- [Ma Ker] How do you know?

- It was spotted by one of our mobile sentry groups,

it's very, very close.

- Rajak, can you fire the cannon now?

- If we consider the inclination

and the power of the cannon,

with regard to the mass of dust particles

and the stratospheric streams, I, eh, no.

- When?

- 36 hours.

- [Damien] Solveg.

- Sir, we're approaching the area.

- Good.

Now we must wait.

(serious music)

(train horn blaring)

(tense techno music)

- I didn't realize.

- What?

- How much you cared about me.

About how much I care about you.

- You do?

- Would I be here?

- You two, whoa.

Well, well citizen, what do we have here?

- Wake up people,

we don't want another Palidor,

we don't want another Damien.

- Sir, what do we do? - We want to live

the way we want

and not be told - Stay back,

remain clear. - What to say or think.

- Come on, wake up.

We're fed up with this, right?

Come on!

We wanna say what we want!

We wanna say that we want the sun.

- [All] We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun. - This is an illegal

demonstration.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun. - This is an illegal

demonstration.

- We want the sun. - I love you.

- I love you too. - We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

- This is an illegal. - We want the sun.

- Demonstration.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

We want the sun.

(tense music)

- [Announcer] Attention Renewers,

stand by for a communication

from your Supreme Leader, CEO Damien.

- [Damien] The game is over.

This is an ultimatum.

You are to surrender unconditionally and totally.

- I say no surrender.

- You're right, Liam, no surrender.

- We'll drive them back,

we'll fight them on the ice, in the trains, in the domes.

But first we fire the cannon.

- Are you mad?

It's bound to fail if we fire now.

- We have no choice.

- Can't you see?

Even if we manage to shoot a hole in the cloud

it will only be temporary because the explosion

won't be powerful enough.

- Well you can't be sure of that.

- I think we should shoot the cannon at Damien's train.

- It was not made for that.

- [Liam] It's now or never, we have to fire the cannon.

- [Rajak] The cannon is not ready.

Can't you understand, it is not ready yet.

Please, not now, not now, bound to fail.

(tense music)

- We have an unidentified individual coming towards us.

- Well go and get it, and bring it to me.

- [Mai] Your friends are in danger Cal, go help them.

- [Damien] Attention Renewers,

you have exactly five minutes to surrender

or we will take no prisoners.

(computer beeping)

- Search her and make sure she has no weapons of any kind.

Here she is.

- Solveg, take everybody to the control room.

We want to be alone, don't we Suki?

- Damien,

leave these people alone.

If you ever cared for me, just let them do what they want.

They want peace.

And what have you got to lose?

If they fail then you were right,

but, Damien, if they succeed,

if they succeed in bringing back the sun

we will all gain from it,

it'll be everybody's victory.

- To Suki!

The voice of purity.

Total innocence and genuine love of life.

Whoops.

But it's too late.

(glass smashing)

You've humiliated me,

taken me for a fool,

and treated me like a dog,

too often, too much.

- I've come in peace.

- Now I will fix the rules.

- I've come to avoid violence,

isn't there enough violence out there?

- And I have come to seek revenge.

And it looks like I'm going to start with you.

Sorry, Suki, but the world can't always be

the way you'd like it to be,

it also contains people like me.

- You make one move Damien,

I swear I'll rip your rotten head off.

Go, Suki, go.

Go, now, go, go!

Suki. (Damien grunting)

(wind whistling)

(dramatic music)

- Listen, even if we all get wiped out

at least we'll have brought back the sun, shoot!

- Suki, I'm here, okay?

You're gonna be all right, okay.

I'm here.

Look at me, look at me Suki.

Everything's gonna be all right, okay, I'm here.

- I'm sorry.

- You're gonna be okay.

Suki, stay with me, don't let go.

I need you with me.

- Find her and shoot her.

Shoot!

Shoot.

- Shoot!

Shoot.

- For one moment in time,

you saw the past and the future together.

- We've done it.

We've brought back the sun.

We brought back the sun.

(dramatic music)

(men laughing)

- Cal it's warm.

Kiss me in the sun.

(tense techno music)
