[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music continues]

I am Liv.

Liv of the Origines.

For many years, my tribe and my family had lived happily…

in harmony with nature.

We had retreated from the outside world.

We thought we were safe in our forest.

We believed we could live in peace forever.

But we were wrong.

We could no longer defer our involvement.

The tribes are fighting mercilessly for supremacy throughout Europe.

And we are caught in the midst of it.

My family remains out there somewhere…

and I will find them.

No matter what the cost.

[dramatic music playing]

[birds chirping]

[ethereal music playing]

[Kiano] You're nervous, aren't you? There's no need to be afraid.

The Raiders cut off whole limbs during initiation.

-[Elja] That's bullshit. -It's true.

First, left middle finger.

Next, a toe from your right foot. One of your ears next.

And last, but not least…

it's your little wiener.

-[Kiano] Did you really do that? -Come on, old man.

-[Kiano] Come here! -What now? Is that it? Come on!

-[Elja] Ow! You're so mad! -[loud booming in distance]

-[Elja] I swear you used to be stronger. -[Kiano laughs] Come on! Gotcha!

-[both grunting] -[Kiano laughing] Come here!

-[Kiano] Who's stronger? -[cocks rifle]

-[Kiano] Huh? -Okay, you win!

[both panting]

[chuckles] Whatever. I let you win.

[rumbling in distance]

-[Kiano] You were scared. -[Elja] For a second.

[Liv] Hey! Shh!

[ominous music playing]

-Do you think that it's-- -Shh!

[plane soaring]

What the hell was that?

Elja, do you know what it was?

[plane roaring]

[Liv] Kiano!

Elja, stay here!

[Liv] Elja!

[Kiano] What was that?

Let's just go.

What? Don't be a fool!

We need to go and check it out.

Straight away.

That's from the outside world, it's dangerous.

-Liv, an airplane just crashed-- -It wasn't a plane.

[Elja] It was nothing like that.

That wasn't around before Black December. It's from the New World.

Yet another reason to go and see it.

[Kiano] Come on, please!

[Liv] Kiano, he will decide.

Come on, then.

[Liv] Say nothing to the others. We don't want them getting nervous.

Come on!

[tense music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[man exclaiming]

Well done!

Not bad, my boy. That'll make a decent pelt.

-[Liv] Where's Father? -Where do you think?

-[Liv] You've prepared everything already? -I knew that he would do it.

A wolf.

The king of the forest.

Well done, my son.

[Elja] Thank you.

[Liv] Papa,

we just saw something.

A kind of aircraft, but not like from the Old World.

-Far more modern. -It was like a spacecraft.

-Such things don't exist. -They do.

This one's crashed at the northern end of the forest.

-And we should go and see it. -No.

I think Kiano's right.

-[man] Is everything all right? -Everything's fine.

Back to work. We must prepare for the initiation.

[man] Very well.

We are Origines.

We have always kept out of the business of outsiders,

and that is how it shall remain.

The world outside

is not for us.

[dark music playing]

[crowd cheering in distance]

Let me pass, Bozie.

[Tocks] I assure you that my Bozies will retrieve

every single one of the escaped slaves.

[Yvar] An unfortunate turn of events… Highlord Tocks.

Highly unfortunate.

Am I not right…

Lord Varvara?

Hail the strongest, Kapitan.

I shall burst here with curiosity, my love!

What could be so important that you would dare

to interrupt our little "ambiguous" conversation, I wonder?

I have some news that you will find inordinately interesting.

Let's hope so.

Let's hear this news, then, shall we? Huh?

Speak, then.

One of my lead squads, whilst out patrolling,

shot down a flying object.

An Atlantian hover jet.

[Tocks] What?

Impossible.

-It has crashed in the southern forests. -[Tocks] That's Crimson territory.

I beg for your permission to allow me to find the wreck before enemies find it.

We should not hesitate, Kapitan.

[Yvar] Atlantian technology.

The keys to rule the continent.

Europa.

So very tempting. Wouldn't you agree, Highlord Tocks?

Let's hear your strategy, then.

If she speaks the truth, penetrating Crimson borders

will mean political escalation, effectively a strike.

Really?

You must take what you want, Varvara.

If your mission achieves success,

then you will be rewarded,

and most generously, as you will find out.

Perhaps with a position as one of my highlords,

if the position became unexpectedly vacant.

Kapitan! I take--

Varvara, what must I do with him, with someone who has lost a dozen slaves

so carelessly, without any remorse?

We show no weakness, Kapitan.

As all us Crows do.

Go, then.

And disappoint me not.

-[blows landing] -[Tocks groaning]

[birds chirping]

-[Kiano] You're just going to accept that? -[water burbles]

What do you want me to do?

You're just like him.

Don't start that again, Kiano, he respects you.

[laughs] Not like he respects you.

You continue his legacy, and I…

You don't understand me.

[Liv] I do understand you.

And so does Elja.

Not like she would understand me.

I don't get it. Finally something happens, and he acts like nothing's going on.

No. I'll go check out the aircraft alone. I don't care what he says.

-That's not what you'll do. -You two, enough!

-You're coming? -What?

Maybe you'll find answers about Black December…

-why the Old World ended. -[Liv] Kia, please.

Let's not disagree. It's not worth it.

You're right.

-Are you ready? -Mmm-hmm.

Mom would be proud of you.

Really proud.

Hey.

You know that we'll always be here.

No matter what happens or how much we disagree.

We'll always be together.

[Liv] All life is one.

[both] All life is one.

[Liv] In accordance with the laws of our founder and mother, Chloe,

we will welcome you, Elja, this evening,

after completing your first successful hunt today,

into the circle of adults gathered here.

We are Origines.

We retreated from the Old World

into the security of the forest.

Where we live in peace and harmony with nature.

The Refugium, our home.

From this day forth, Elja,

carry our mark with pride

and a sense of responsibility

towards nature, your fellows

and all other living beings.

[grunts]

[Liv] Lead a life free of technology,

because technology precipitated the Old World into ruin.

Let go of the past and embrace your future life,

as a son of the forest.

For this, are you prepared?

Yes.

[laughs]

Elja…

of the Origines!

[all] Of the Origines!

[all cheering]

[upbeat music playing]

♪ I live in the moment Yeah, we gonna own it ♪

♪ Yeah, watch me now Watch me now ♪

♪ Look at me goin' ♪

♪ Now we on a mission ♪

♪ You don't wanna be missin'… ♪

[music continues in background]

Let's disappear. You and I.

-You mean it? -Yes.

I want freedom. There's a world to see.

That's why I'm getting out of here.

So are you staying or coming with me?

[chuckles] You're crazy.

[upbeat music continues]

♪ You're gonna love it ♪

Maybe it came from outer space. That aircraft.

-That is doubtful. -[Elja] Why?

Maybe it wasn't humans who caused the catastrophe after all.

That we will never find out.

[Liv] Kiano was right, you know. We should have gone to see what it was.

What if somebody survived the crash? What if they need help?

What if they're dying alone?

What if they're dangerous and they find us here?

I will always lead our people

in the spirit of the principles of your mother.

All life is one. That was her ethic too.

[birds chirping]

[mysterious music playing]

[tinkling gently]

[door opens]

Get your weapons.

We're heading out.

[mysterious music continues]

[Jakob] Don't touch anything.

-What on earth is that thing? -Maybe one of those drones from before.

Did that exist in the Old World?

No.

[Mark] I've never seen anything like that before.

[Jakob] There were planes, helicopters, space shuttles.

But things like this didn't exist before the catastrophe.

[cube beeping softly]

How do you fly this machine?

[Jakob] It looks like the cockpit's missing.

Where is the pilot?

-Possibly with the Crimsons. -[Mark] I don't think so.

Camp Ahrenberg is far too southerly. I think Little Praha.

[Jakob] Yes, we'll go and investigate.

You all go back to the Refugium.

Liv, you're in charge until I return.

What about me coming?

Mmm-mmm. Go now.

[Liv] Elja! Let's go.

The pilot could be anywhere around here.

How can such a thing even exist?

Kiano?

-Hey! -[Kiano] "Hey" yourself!

[Liv] He didn't mean it.

Liv, he prefers you, though.

-[Liv] Bullshit. -Always has.

-That's not true, you know it. -You remind him of Mom,

and I remind him of all the things he hates about himself.

[adventurous music playing]

[birds chirping]

[bird fluttering]

THE EU DISSOLVES!

2029 BLACK DECEMBER

[bird fluttering]

[man coughing]

You want to go.

You want to know what the world out there has to offer?

I'll tell you what it looks like.

There are things flying around like we saw yesterday

and they're being shot down by wild savages.

The people who hacked off Uncle Mark's arm as a delicacy at meal time.

-Men who kill. -That was ten years ago.

-Who says it's still like that? -You cannot go, Kia.

Your place is here in the Refugium.

We depend on you.

'Cause no one can hunt as well as I do?

[chuckles softly]

No, because you're my brother and because I love you.

I just don't ever want anything to happen to you.

And Alana certainly doesn't either. [chuckles]

-[Kiano chuckles] -[laughs]

I'm an Origine, Liv.

And I always will be, I promise.

[chuckles softly]

-[ominous music playing] -[man breathing raggedly]

[muttering indistinctly]

Can I help you?

[faintly] It's gone.

What?

My cube.

I lost it in the crash.

I really need this cube. [inhales sharply]

So much is at stake.

[coughs]

I… I can bring you medicine, okay?

Wait, wait, wait! [breathing raggedly] Wait!

Don't tell anyone I'm here.

A lot of people are looking for me.

It's too quiet here, if you ask me.

Far too quiet.

[Mark] The flag of the Republic.

Since when have they and the Crimsons been united?

No idea.

[Jakob] Hello?

Anyone here?

Hello?

[ominous music playing]

Look.

[Liv] Elja?

Elja!

Where the hell were you?

-Huh? -Hey.

What you got there?

[stammers] Just stuff.

Show me the stuff, then.

You found him!

[Kiano] Found who?

[Liv] The pilot.

Where is he?

[dramatic music playing]

The protection of the Crimsons was of no use.

-Raiders? -Uh-uh, there was nothing taken.

[man faintly] Help!

[pilot coughing]

Shit!

[breathing raggedly]

-We'll find a stretcher. -[Kiano] What?

You're taking him to the Refugium? Are you mad?

If he doesn't get help, he'll die here.

You want that?

[breathing raggedly]

Soldier? Can you hear me?

What happened?

Who did this to you?

Crows.

What did they want?

Tell me.

Atlantian…

pilot.

[ominous music playing]

[villager] Are you crazy?

-Is that the pilot? -[Liv] He needs our help.

This man needs medical help. Now.

-You're aware we can't do that. -We don't have time for discussion.

-Jakob wouldn't allow this. -Jakob is not here.

Let's go back.

They'll find us! Come!

Jakob, come now! Jakob!

[Luise] Please have a look again in an hour. Thank you.

How's he doing?

A lot of blood has been lost. We can only hope for him.

It was the right decision, Luise.

-Thank you. -[Luise] You'll need to convince him.

What is it?

A message…

for my people.

About what?

Something is coming.

From the east.

Something dangerous.

I have to return home.

I have to bring the cube

to the Ark.

Where I come from.

They will know what to do.

It must never fall into the wrong hands.

Will you help me?

Good kid.

Do you know how it ended?

The Old World?

The Black December?

The big blackout? Anything?

Help me.

You'll get the answers to your questions.

Okay?

[Jakob] Are you mad?

You know very well this is against our law!

[Liv] I did it with the best of intentions.

[Jakob] Everyone, listen! There are people out there.

Dangerous people. A tribe called the Crows.

They're searching for this man. He cannot stay. He must go.

-[villagers murmuring] -Immediately. Get him out.

Remain calm!

We'll take the outsider to the wreck.

We'll be safe here in the Refugium.

The forest will shelter us.

Just as it has always protected us.

Keep your weapons at your side, should you need them.

You know what to do. Let's go.

Gather your weapons!

Tarek!

I want you to go to Camp Ahrenberg and ask them to help us, right away.

The Crimsons only protect tribes--

Say to them that Little Praha has been destroyed.

What do you suppose will happen?

Nothing's gonna happen. We'll take back the pilot and everything will be fine.

[door closes]

[Jakob sighs] What has happened… has happened.

What's most important now is that we stick together

as a tribe,

as family.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.

-[gun firing] -[villager screams]

What was that?

-Come here. -[indistinct screaming]

We are Origines. We are the sound of the forest,

the blood of the earth,

and the breath of the wind.

We are born in the waters of the Eternal Lake,

and we return to it when our time comes.

We will never fade.

All life is one.

-All life is one. -[Jakob] Stay together.

Whatever should happen, remain together!

What is it?

Screams from the forest.

They've found the way in.

[villagers screaming in distance]

[cocks rifle]

[metal clinking in distance]

[suspenseful music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

We have what you want!

Do you hear what I say?

Do you understand me?

We have what you want.

The Atlantian!

Take him and leave.

There's no need for bloodshed.

Please.

Please!

[inhaling deeply]

[villagers muttering]

[tense music playing]

-[villagers screaming] -[Jakob] No! Please!

Don't do it! We can settle this! We can show you where the hover jet is!

[villagers screaming]

Take cover!

[villagers screaming]

[Crow yelling]

[both grunt]

[villagers screaming]

[guns firing]

[Elja panting] Can you get up?

We have to leave!

-You have to take it. -[Elja] What?

-[bullet ricocheting] -It will lead you to the Ark.

-[Elja] But my people-- -Your people are lost.

Everyone will be lost if you don't leave now.

Please.

Promise.

-Promise. -Okay. Okay.

-[bullet ricocheting] -[pilot] The cube will pair with you.

[cube beeping]

[ethereal music playing]

[shakily] Look at the eye.

Let it scan you.

Lead you.

Protect you.

[cube calibrating]

-[breathing raggedly] Now… -[door opens]

[pilot] Go! Go!

Run! Run!

[villagers screaming]

[fighting continues]

[Kiano] Elja!

Get up! Come on!

[guns firing]

You have to get out of here!

-I can't just leave you. -Hey! We'll have to surrender.

Okay? So, go!

-Run to Little Praha! -[Alana] Kiano!

-Alana! -[Alana gurgling]

[Liv grunting]

[bullets firing and ricocheting]

[Crow] Follow the boy! He's got the cube!

[dramatic music playing]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[ears ringing]

-[breathing heavily] -[ringing continues]

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

This man here…

he had an artifact with him, an Atlantian Cube.

My Bozies saw a boy running away with it.

Where is he?

[villagers whimpering]

That one.

[whimpering]

Do you understand me, Volnik?

-Do you hear me? -Yes.

-[Varvara] Where is the boy with the cube? -I don't know.

I… I swear.

[villagers sobbing]

Please! No! [sobs]

[Jakob] Please, leave him alone.

Listen.

Where is my cube?

We don't have what you're searching for!

[villagers whimpering]

You know something, hmm?

Where is my cube?

-Please! We don't-- -How often will he keep interrupting me?

[Varvara] Look at me.

Where is the cube?

Tell me and I'll spare your life.

I don't know anything about the cube.

That's bad luck.

No! Please don't!

We only found the wreck! At the north end of the forest!

We don't have your cube!

We do!

I found it.

And I know where the cube is.

And so?

It's stuck…

Say it, then, you fool!

Stuck really far…

up my ass!

You still want to recover it?

Huh?

You've got some guts, haven't you, Volnik?

And really big balls.

[Jakob] No! Leave him alone! No!

-[knife slicing] -[screaming]

-[screaming continues] -No!

[screaming]

[screaming stops]

Now back to you.

Good job.

The rest go with us.

Grieta, stay here with your best Bozies and search for the cube.

-And do not return empty-handed. -Yes, Lord Varvara.

[Varvara] And you…

you're gonna be my present for Kapitan Yvar.

The great warlord of the Crows.

The master whom you will all bow down to until your death!

-'Til death! -[Crows] 'Til death!

[birds chirping]

-[mysterious music playing] -[panting]

[mysterious music continues]

[gasps]

[dramatic music playing]
