[ethereal music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[chittering]
[inhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
[in Japanese] Food sources…
they're spreading.
We wish to know
why your species is in conflict with us.
This planet is our home,
and you're trying to destroy it.
We don't understand.
You're not here to destroy our world.
You're here to transform it.
To live in it.
[rapid thumping]
[high-pitched ringing]
[winces]
[breathes deeply]
[ringing fades]
That's right.
Lead me in.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[inhales deeply]
[breathing shakily]
Where the hell are you?
[rustling]
[Mitsuki yelps]
[rocks rumbling, clattering]
[grunts, breathing heavily]
[chitters]
[growls]
[growls]
The mental attack.
[screeching]
You're going to cause a cave in.
- [growls, screeches]
- Stop!
It won't work on me.
You'll bury us both! Stop!
- [yelps]
- [alien screeches]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Mitsuki grunts]
[grunting]
[grunting continues]
[panting]
My rifle.
[straining, panting]
[panting continues]
Still intact.
[inhales deeply]
[sighs]
[mutters]
[alien chittering]
[footsteps scuttling]
- [panting]
- [alien chitters]
- [flashlight button clicking]
- [alien chitters]
[Mitsuki] Keep moving.
[alien chitters]
[Mitsuki] Keep moving.
- [alien chittering]
- [footsteps]
[alien chittering]
[chittering continues]
[screeches]
[chittering]
[chittering]
[exhales shakily]
[chittering]
No,
I want to help you.
[chitters]
"Help." Yes, exactly.
You are lucky I understand your language.
If you help me…
I'll help you.
- [chittering]
- [straining, grunting]
[screeches]
[Mitsuki yelps]
[grunting, panting]
So much for teamwork.
[panting, straining]
[grunting, panting]
- [rock thuds]
- [screams]
[yelping]
[panting]
[suspenseful music building]
[screams, whimpering]
[whimpering continues]
[alien chitters]
[whimpering, panting]
[grunts]
[sweeping music playing]
- [chitters]
- [panting]
[chitters]
[chitters]
"Home."
That's what you said, right?
Works for me.
[grunting]
[ambient music playing]
[chitters]
[coughing]
[alien chittering]
Don't bleed out yet.
You've got to show me the way in first.
[zipping]
[suspenseful music playing]
Still fresh.
Only here a day or two.
[ropes rustling]
[mysterious music playing]
[grunts]
[music fades]
It wasn't the crash that killed you.
It was the air.
Only a day or two…
[exhales shakily]
Thank you.
- [hunter, in English] Don't thank her.
- [gasps]
[unsettling music playing]
She tried to kill God.
But God said the word and…
Boom. Retribution.
You're one of them.
Infinitas.
Us.
Them.
Soon all that's gonna fall away.
We'll be one…
but not you.
[Mitsuki yelps]
- [aliens warbling]
- [banging]
[unsettling music continues]
[grunts, breathing heavily]
Constrictor knots.
Good for hunters like us.
Bad for prey like you.
[Mitsuki grunts]
Enough oxygen.
Save that for what's coming, brother.
[thuds]
[deputy] Oh, my.
What a special day.
Your gear.
That's WDC, but you're not.
And you came here alone,
which means you trust no one but yourself.
How human.
[hunter] There's more.
She brought a bomb.
She's the one we were told would come.
To stab our Redeemers in the heart.
Destroy our last chance at salvation.
Your body dies today.
But there's a chance to save your soul.
Tell us where the rest of your unit is.
Their location, their plans.
And you will go quickly.
Serene in the knowledge
you did everything you could
to earn the mercy of our Redeemers.
Or stay silent and face their wrath.
Make your choice.
[aliens warbling]
Why does he get to breathe?
[clicks tongue, sniffs]
Carmichael is one of the first believers.
He's seen the aliens up close.
Knows their ways.
We need his mind clear.
While the rest of you slowly die?
Your unit's location.
Now.
[tense music playing]
So be it.
- [banging]
- [aliens growl, warbling]
[aliens growl]
No. [grunts] Let go… [grunting]
[aliens growl]
[Carmichael] We found
these aliens like this.
The Mother is calling,
telling them to go out like the others
and lay spores to change the air.
But the walls are too slick to climb.
Disconnect has made them agitated,
which you'll see soon enough.
[grunting]
- [hunter grunts]
- [yelps]
[thuds]
[tense music building]
Carmichael.
[intriguing music plays]
- [breathes shakily]
- [hunters whispering]
[tense music playing]
Bring her to my cabin.
[Mitsuki grunting]
[grunts]
Leave us.
She's tied, Konrad.
What's she going to do,
headbutt me to death?
[sighs]
[unsettling music playing]
[sighs]
He doesn't like you.
[scoffs]
We're all one
in the eyes of our Redeemers.
[grunts]
[sighs]
Who are you?
Does it matter?
"We're all one
in the eyes of our Redeemers."
Why didn't the aliens hurt you?
What do you know about them?
I thought you were the expert.
[scoffs]
Maybe they see something in you.
Something you don't want
to see in yourself.
You look warm.
You know why that is, don't you?
It's the Mother.
You can feel her.
Yes. Melting the snow.
She's warming everything around us.
Have you seen the special ones yet?
The gardeners?
Growing a new world.
[chuckles]
It's a fresh start.
How can you not be in awe?
Because their new world is killing me.
- And it's killing your people too.
- [sighs] They have faith.
But no oxygen.
I need this air.
To keep your mind clear.
[exhales sharply]
Why do you care so much about what I know?
[sighs]
We all wanna get closer to them.
Who's Monica?
- That tattoo.
- [clears throat]
It's still fresh.
Who is she?
You keep wasting my time,
and I'll have Konrad slit your throat.
Is she the one you want to see
in their heaven?
No.
If she was, you wouldn't be afraid to die.
- And you are.
- No.
I'm not afraid to lose my life
for something I believe in.
But you're afraid of losing something.
Your mind.
Your memory.
[scoffs]
You're losing memories of Monica.
No, no. You say her name again,
and I'll crack your skull open!
No, you won't.
I'm your only chance to hold on to her.
- [exhales shakily]
- Listen to me.
I was on the Amazon Project.
I spent every day in contact
with an alien.
- [exhales deeply] No.
- And it took every memory I had.
You're lying.
You know I'm not
because it's happening to you.
And no amount of oxygen can stop it.
[sighs]
You've been out here, in contact,
for too long.
Give me that bomb,
and I'll break that contact for good.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales shakily]
[breathing heavily]
You were someone before Infinitas.
You can be that person again.
[sighs]
Whoever she is,
don't lose her.
She's… [breathing shakily]
She's my daughter.
[sighs] But I made a promise.
To prepare the way.
No promise is worth coming home
to a daughter you don't know.
What if you're wrong?
What if they're taking my memories
and yours to give us something greater?
No. I've come too far.
Too far to stop now.
I understand.
Can I ask you one last question?
Do you know what a "bight" is?
A "bight"?
It's a bend in a rope.
You find them when inexperienced hunters
like Konrad tie complex knots.
You tug on it, bit by bit.
And…
[menacing music playing]
[Carmichael grunting, choking]
[choking continues]
[shouts]
[panting]
[grunts]
[choking]
[Konrad] She took the bomb!
[hunters clamoring]
[tense music playing]
[gasps, panting]
You three, that way. The rest with me.
- You find her, kill her!
- Okay.
[panting]
[wheezing]
[panting, grunting]
[debris tumbling]
[clattering]
- [rock thuds]
- [wheezing]
[Mitsuki grunts, breathing heavily]
[wheezing]
[grunting, gasps]
She's here!
[coughs]
[groans]
[coughing]
[coughs, wheezes]
[screams]
[coughs]
[wheezing]
[gunfire]
[grunts, whimpers]
Cut her off.
[hunter] Help… [wheezing]
Help me.
[wheezing continues]
Oxygen.
[coughs]
[groaning]
[coughing, wheezing continue]
Scavenge him.
[ambient music playing]
[Mitsuki panting]
[coughing]
[breathes deeply, inhales sharply]
[winces]
[wincing]
[alien chitters]
[chitters]
[in Japanese] There you are.
What are you doing?
You almost killed yourself
to get to this spot.
Do you hear me?
[chitters]
[chittering]
"Home."
You wanted home
to be the last thing you saw…
No.
You have to survive.
I didn't come all this way
for nothing. [grunting]
- Get up! Get up!
- [chittering]
Hurry up!
You need to get me to that ship.
Go!
[chittering]
[Mitsuki panting, coughing]
[chittering continues]
So warm.
We must be close.
Hope you know your way through this…
You made it out,
so you must know the way back in.
[high-pitched ringing]
[groaning]
Wait…
Stop…
[coughs] Stop…
[coughing] Slow down…
[hyperventilating]
[ringing stops]
[surreal music playing]
[breathing shallowly]
[inhales deeply]
[breathing heavily]
I… I can breathe.
[chitters]
You saved me.
- [chitters]
- [breathing heavily]
You're killing us.
Our whole planet.
You don't need me anymore
to get to the ship.
Why save me?
Why?
What do you want?
[chittering]
[Mitsuki] "Help."
[chittering]
[chittering]
[chittering continues]
[chittering continues]
It's the way in…
[chittering continues]
Yeah…
"Home."
[chitters]
We made it.
[chittering]
[aliens chittering]
[grunts, panting]
[chittering continues]
[rising emotional music playing]
[mouthing, in English] Oh, my God. [gasps]
[in Japanese] No…
I'm sorry…
"Help."
[inhales sharply]
"Home…"
[emotional music intensifying]
[sighs]
[breathes shakily]
[chittering]
