00:00I don't like this place.
00:20Well, at least it's peaceful.
00:22We haven't seen a dinosaur for miles.
00:24We haven't seen anything.
00:26No birds, no animals.
00:27It's like everything's dead.
00:39Come on.
00:43Challenger, we've got company.
00:46They look distressed.
00:47What's the plan?
00:49He looks like trouble.
00:57Are you all right?
01:16No.
01:17You can't fight the trustees.
01:19Sentinel will come.
01:20Ned, look.
01:37What in the name of creation?
01:41Return them to the compound.
01:44We're not going anywhere.
01:45Obey him, or they will destroy you.
01:53What kind of creature is that?
02:17He is our master.
02:19At the dawn of the last century, a band of explorers searched for a prehistoric world.
02:33Driven by ambition, secret desires, a thirst for adventure, and seeking the ultimate story,
02:41they are befriended by an untamed beauty.
02:44Stranded in a strange and savage land, each day is a desperate search for a way out of the lost world.
02:54Let's set the time.
03:20Let's set the world.
03:21What was that thing?
03:38What did it do to Ned?
03:39Keep moving.
03:40You know the way.
03:42That weapon felt like every nerve in my body was on fire.
03:46What was it, Laris?
03:47My heavenly name.
03:48Well, that's what your friend called you.
03:51Get quiet.
03:52They'll punish us.
03:53What is this place?
03:55A prison?
03:59Welcome home.
04:06Home?
04:09What kind of home is this?
04:11Look at these people.
04:13Hey, wait a minute.
04:14We don't belong here.
04:19That's right.
04:20You're making a mistake.
04:23I do not make mistakes.
04:25Your job is labor.
04:27Labor?
04:28We're not slaves.
04:32My job is discipline and control.
04:36Okay.
04:38Oh, okay.
04:41We'll, uh, chat later.
04:47Malone, something's wrong here.
04:49Yeah, a slave labor camp where none of the slaves seem unhappy.
04:54Lara?
04:55Who are all these people?
04:57Where'd they come from?
04:58I told you.
04:58I have no name.
05:00Go away.
05:01Your friend made this for you, didn't he?
05:18You lived here with him?
05:21Why are you so afraid?
05:22Stop it.
05:23If the Prynne learn about these things, they will destroy us.
05:32Learn about what things?
05:35These things.
05:37Our feelings.
05:39You can't show each other how you feel.
05:43What kind of a life is that?
05:45You should the Prynne.
05:46Who are they?
05:47The Prynne have been here since the beginning.
05:50They've always been our masters.
05:53And why can't you have names?
05:55We're not allowed to own anything.
05:57We're all the same.
06:00No possessions, no emotions, no names.
06:03They're stripping you of all humanity.
06:05We are nothing.
06:07We exist only to work and obey.
06:14Don't worry.
06:15Your friend is safe.
06:16He got away with Challenger.
06:18They'll bring help.
06:20And then we'll save you from the Prynne.
06:25What kind of creature?
06:27It was human in form, certainly.
06:29But quite grotesque to look at.
06:32Like an entirely different species.
06:35Yes, with a gun that shoots at beams of light.
06:38Technology the like of which I have never seen.
06:41Great.
06:42Smarter and with better weapons.
06:44Wonder how long they've been living on the plateau.
06:45Well, according to our young friend here, there are only two of these creatures.
06:52He calls them Prynne.
06:56Well, have you never tried to resist or fight them?
06:59We can't.
07:00The Prynne are our masters.
07:02Oh, it's such loyalty.
07:04Who says you can't find good help?
07:10How charming.
07:13May I?
07:14Lara made it for me.
07:17Where did she get the pretty stones?
07:20Zone one.
07:21Zone one?
07:24So where is that?
07:26Where the Prynne live.
07:27Where they make us work.
07:29Sounds like some sort of a mine.
07:31Oh, it's not just any mine.
07:32Take a good look.
07:33Those are diamonds.
07:33Well, Prynne don't care about these stones.
07:37They just throw them away.
07:39Oh, well, they can't be that highly evolved after all.
07:42Rough gems of this clarity would fetch a fortune in Antwerp.
07:46Two of our friends are in trouble.
07:48We're on a rescue, not one of your bloody treasure hunts.
07:52I am ready to jump into battle anytime you are, Lord Roxton.
07:56A girl can dream.
08:06Bye.
08:08The Prynne just throw these stones away.
08:11Yes, that's why they must never see them.
08:13They must be mining something that's more important to them.
08:16How far away is this zone one?
08:18An hour's walk through the jungle.
08:20The digging never stops.
08:22We work in two shifts.
08:24How long till your next shift?
08:25Soon.
08:26The others will return after 16 hours.
08:28Work 16 hours and return home with this.
08:31Ty wanted to find a better place
08:33where we can show our feelings for each other
08:35whenever we wanted.
08:36He has found a better place.
08:38And so will you.
08:39No.
08:40Ty thinks we can be something.
08:42We're not.
08:43But he's wrong.
08:49How can we help her?
08:50She doesn't want to leave.
08:52None of these people do.
08:53Look at those two.
09:01Handpicked.
09:02Torture their own people.
09:03How sick do you have to be to do that?
09:05You hear what you're saying?
09:07We can't do anything until we get out of here.
09:10So the next shift change,
09:11we'll make a break.
09:13Okay.
09:16But we're coming back for them.
09:18All of them.
09:20Agreed.
09:20No discipline problem with this bunch.
09:34First chance we get,
09:35we're going to make a run for it.
09:37Are you with us?
09:38The prim will dispose of me
09:40if I get caught a second time.
09:41We're not getting caught.
09:47What's going on?
09:48Where's the second shift?
09:50I don't know.
09:51Your attention.
09:52The other shift will not be returning.
09:55All of you are required in Zone 1
09:57to complete the project.
09:59What project?
09:59What project?
10:00What project?
10:00What project?
10:00What project?
10:00What project?
10:02What project?
10:04What project?
10:08As the Pryn designed the project,
10:10so shall it be.
10:12It's no answer.
10:15We will now put on appropriate coverings.
10:19Forget it.
10:21We want to know what's going on.
10:23Open the gate.
10:24It is time to go.
10:29Do you need assistance with your coverings?
10:33Yeah.
10:34Their privacy would be great.
10:38Privacy has no place in your existence.
10:52Understood?
11:00How close are we to Zone 1?
11:01We're almost there.
11:04We better make a move soon.
11:06We need to that big tree we go.
11:10This is it.
11:11Follow my lead.
11:15No one gets away today.
11:22Get him.
11:22Get him.
11:22Get him.
11:23Get him.
11:23Get him.
11:26Retirement comes early for you.
11:46The unscheduled break is over.
11:49You will continue.
11:53Leave him.
11:54He will be reclaimed later.
12:00You heartless butcher!
12:02He will now serve his higher purpose,
12:04as you all will very soon.
12:06He will now serve his higher purpose.
12:33This must be Zone 1.
12:35Nice place to visit.
12:37We want to work here.
12:39I guess we just take any job we want.
12:42Stay with your unit.
12:44I want to see the boss.
12:47The Prynne will retire you instantly for aberrant behavior.
12:50What difference does it make?
12:51You said we're all going to be retired in three days anyway.
12:53I said you could look forward to serving a higher purpose.
12:57Now?
12:58Or in three days?
13:01Understood?
13:04The compound is empty.
13:19All the workers are here.
13:21Even if we use all of them, it will be difficult to meet our deadline.
13:25Take two trustees and dismantle the compound.
13:30Leave no trace of the workers' presence.
13:34Understood.
13:34It looks like we missed the farewell party.
13:46What a disappointment.
13:49I presume they've gone to Zone 1.
13:52Laura left.
13:52This is a sign for me.
13:54The Prynne said this day would come.
13:57What day?
13:59The end of the project.
14:01When the workers are no longer needed.
14:03Then what?
14:04If you take us to the quarry and you serve our higher purpose.
14:08Take a look at this.
14:10Your friends are workers now.
14:12Which way to the quarry?
14:13What are you doing here?
14:18What are you doing here?
14:19That's close enough!
14:22Get them!
14:25Come on!
14:30They are not workers.
14:33We must warn the Prynne.
14:34Help out of the quarry.
14:35Help out of the quarry.
14:38For now, maybe less.
14:40But we must stay off the trail.
14:41Yeah, good idea.
14:42But how exactly are we planning to invade it?
14:44Well, hopefully it won't come to that.
14:46These creatures are as highly evolved as I believe they are.
14:48These superior creatures are planning to slaughter their entire workforce.
14:52If you ask me, their evolutionary development fizzled somewhere between hyenas and trolls.
14:56You're finished?
14:58Which way?
15:06Any idea what's going on here?
15:08Something in this rock and gravel they're after.
15:10More valuable than diamonds?
15:12Where's Challenger when you need him?
15:16Marguerite and Roxton as well.
15:18They'll be here.
15:19But we'll be in time to save all these people.
15:22And save them unless we can save ourselves.
15:25Let's check for blind spots.
15:27There's not enough trustees to watch all of us all the time.
15:30This is how Laura and I escaped.
15:42We ran toward this part of the jungle, but we got caught in the light.
15:46The lights are... I don't see any lights in there.
15:49Can anyone see Veronica and Malone?
15:50Oh, and those clothes at this distance, everyone looks the same.
15:55There they are.
15:56Malone and Veronica.
15:58With the digging crew.
16:07The Prynne!
16:13Drop your weapon!
16:14What kind of a welcome is that?
16:22Easy, George.
16:24His but-ugly friend might be close by.
16:25You tried to fight the Prynne!
16:27There are some of your people should have tried a long time ago.
16:33Well, I'll be damned.
16:35Oh, several times over, I'm sure.
16:37What kind of blood is that?
16:39Blue blood, Marguerite.
16:40Your favorite kind.
16:41The trouble is, this blue blood isn't remotely human.
16:46What kind of being have we discovered?
16:47Well, one that's far too dangerous to study, to get that nasty little thought right out of your mind.
16:52I think our best chance isn't that way.
17:09When we get past the Prynne, it's open ground straight to the jungle.
17:13Ready?
17:14It's coming from inside.
17:26Lara?
17:27What do you want?
17:28What do you want?
17:29We're leaving.
17:30Will you come with us?
17:31Ty's out there.
17:32Tell him, I'm happy that he's free.
17:53But the rest of us must serve our purpose.
17:57As the Prynne designed the project, so shall it be.
18:01Lara, this isn't your purpose.
18:04You don't have to die for the Prynne.
18:06You don't understand.
18:08We only pretend to have emotions.
18:11We give each other names and gifts of jewelry.
18:13It's not real.
18:15We don't really feel anything at all.
18:17What about this?
18:19Some sort of memorial to the worker who died in the trail, isn't it?
18:25Tell Ty, when you serve my higher purpose, I'll keep his memory.
18:31Ask him to keep mine.
18:46Whoever these humans are that attacked you, they appear to be as violent as our studies suggest.
18:55But what brought them here?
18:58What are they after?
19:00We go together.
19:14Ready?
19:24Ask him, please, or visit us.
19:26And we'll find out.
19:30Keep running!
19:51Hey!
19:52Get off the lake!
19:54We tired them immediately.
19:56Red blood.
20:10You're a human.
20:11Unlike you.
20:13Bring them to the parody.
20:15There were others of your kind about.
20:39Presumably trying to rescue you.
20:41And sooner or later, they will.
20:44We were mistaken.
20:46And we owe you an apology.
20:49We assumed you were part of our project.
20:52Then what project is that?
20:53Operation Genocide?
20:56You can't just kill all those people.
20:59Now you are mistaken.
21:02The workers are not people.
21:05They cannot die.
21:06We saw one die on the trail.
21:09No, you did not.
21:12I will show you.
21:13A machine?
21:27Robots?
21:29All of them?
21:31Workers and trustees alike.
21:33Designed for only one purpose.
21:36To take us home.
21:38Join me outside to understand.
21:53Observe.
21:54Spaceship?
21:55You come from out of space?
22:09And that is where I must return.
22:21Life on other planets.
22:23The planet does exist.
22:26Now you see it.
22:28Now you don't.
22:31Where did it go?
22:32It's still there.
22:34An optical illusion, I believe you call it.
22:37Achieved by the selective bending of light.
22:39This is incredible.
22:41But why did you come here?
22:44We are explorers.
22:46When we were studying your planet, an equipment malfunction resulted in us crashing a few miles from here.
22:53Just like us.
22:54How long ago?
22:56How long ago?
22:57Local time.
22:59Approximately two years.
23:01There was minimal damage, but in order to make repairs and mine enough fuel to take us home, we had to create a workforce suited to the environmental conditions of your world.
23:12So you built people to help you.
23:16Not people.
23:18Machines.
23:19Complex by your standards, perhaps, but not by ours.
23:24They're tools.
23:26Nothing more.
23:26The printer in there.
23:50Now if we're going to neutralize them, the rest should be easy.
23:53Easy compared to what?
23:55Ty, take this.
24:01Point this end of what you want to shoot and squeeze that trigger.
24:05Oh, don't lose it.
24:08All right, Ty.
24:09Freedom often begins with a glorious revolution.
24:15Let's go.
24:18No, wait.
24:25Is this what you meant by the light?
24:30That you and your friend got caught in when you tried to escape?
24:34It's some sort of photo center cell.
24:41But I have never seen such a coherent beam.
24:45Yes, well, it's very pretty.
24:48But it's safe to go over.
24:54I believe so.
24:56Let's go.
24:57Let's go.
24:57Let's go.
24:58Where's Marguerite?
25:21Marguerite.
25:22Marguerite.
25:23Lara.
25:24Oh, wait.
25:26He fits in.
25:28Ty?
25:30Okay, bye.
25:34I never thought I'd see you again.
25:36I know I never could live without you.
25:39We're getting out of here.
25:40All of us.
25:41What?
25:42How?
25:43We're going to fight the prince.
25:45We can't.
25:46No one ever fought the prince.
25:47You're not alone.
25:49Okay.
25:50Time to make our move.
25:52You already have.
25:55Surrender your weapons.
25:57The prince had been expecting you.
26:03Ha ha.
26:04Where are our friends?
26:16They are in social consort with the prince.
26:18More like prisoners in that cage.
26:22The perigee is not a cage.
26:24It is a self-constructed transport repair module.
26:28See for yourselves.
26:34Mother of science.
26:39From Earth.
26:40Not from Earth.
26:41From somewhere else.
26:47To be able to say with certainty that we're not alone in the universe.
26:50What greater moment could there ever be?
26:52Well, I'll certainly take up a few pages in my journal.
26:56Flying to the stars.
26:59Even I'd be tempted to leave the plateau for a chance to do that.
27:03Well, I'd be happy with a trip back to London.
27:06Our visit here is almost at an end.
27:10In two more days, the gravitational forces of your solar system will align with our return trajectory.
27:17And we must leave.
27:19Two days?
27:21But can't you delay a little?
27:23There is so much we could learn from you.
27:24In our experience, it is safer to allow emerging civilizations to discover the wonders and the terrors of science for themselves.
27:35And if we don't leave in two days, we will not have another opportunity for 27 years, which, unfortunately, will be much too late.
27:48The atmosphere on your planet is toxic to us.
27:54It will kill us in another year.
27:58Will you be ready in time?
28:00The ship has been repaired.
28:03By tomorrow night, we will have processed enough fuel.
28:06Well, what about your workers?
28:09The ship doesn't seem big enough for all of them.
28:12It is.
28:14The workers' molecular circuits were taken from the ship's guidance system.
28:18Naturally, they will be reclaimed.
28:21Reclaimed?
28:22To serve a higher purpose?
28:25You mean taken apart.
28:26They are machines.
28:27We need their components to take us home.
28:32You may have started out to build robots.
28:35But somewhere along the way, you created life.
28:39That is quite impossible.
28:43It still feels like murder to me.
28:46But is it?
28:47Now we understand what's going on.
28:48Most of these workers really are no more than robots.
28:51Ty and Lara have advanced beyond what they were designed to do.
28:55You've seen it yourself.
28:56But what right do we have to try and stop the Prynne from getting home?
29:01What right do they have to destroy life?
29:04Even if it was accidental.
29:07This is a very impressive operation.
29:09Indeed.
29:10It takes several tons of aggregate to produce a few small ounces of fuel tonight.
29:15I noticed some sparkling stones in that pile of waste.
29:18You're welcome to as many as you like.
29:21Really?
29:22You wouldn't mind if I took a couple of bags?
29:25Take them all.
29:25Zirconium silicate has decorative characteristics, but serves no real purpose.
29:31Zircon?
29:32They're not diamonds?
29:34Examine the refractive index closely.
29:37You have to show the Prynne that you are more than just pieces of equipment.
29:57But if they see we have feelings, they'll reclaim us today instead of tomorrow.
30:01Lara, if you show them you're alive, they have to reconsider.
30:04You have to try, Lara.
30:06You have nothing to lose.
30:08You believe you have evolved beyond your purpose.
30:20Don't be afraid.
30:21We are your obedient workers.
30:27But we have discovered life.
30:30We respond to the world around us and to each other.
30:34I am Ty.
30:38This is Lara.
30:41We are in love.
30:42This is the meaning of life?
31:01Who is your mother?
31:02Who is your father?
31:07Where do you come from?
31:11We come from you.
31:13You created us.
31:14We are your children.
31:15No.
31:16You are machines.
31:19Nothing more.
31:20Can't you see?
31:25You may not have intended to, but you gave these beings life.
31:29No, you can't just take that away.
31:31Tomorrow, all of these machines will be reclaimed.
31:36Our lives depend on it.
31:39You will not stop us.
31:44Your visit is now over.
31:47Time to go.
31:50I can't believe we're just going to walk away from this.
31:59Why not?
32:01What do you say, Challenger?
32:03You'll want to make a fight of it?
32:05Not particularly, but it seems they've left us little choice.
32:09It's murder, pure and simple.
32:11And what you're considering could well be suicide.
32:13Remember that Pryn are fighting for their lives as well.
32:16Whose side are you on?
32:17I mean, the moral quandaries aren't exactly my strong suit, but, you know, even I know
32:24we can't just walk away from this.
32:28You'll call.
32:29You'll call.
32:29That is far enough.
32:40You're not walking us all the way home?
32:44Here are your weapons.
32:47Do not return.
32:51Where's our ammunition?
32:52It is safe now.
33:00I say we take them out now.
33:02Shorten our odds a little.
33:03Without bullets?
33:04Who needs them?
33:06Ha ha.
33:07Once a boy scout.
33:08Oh, I was prepared before Baden Powell invented the little blighters.
33:11Listen to me.
33:19We can't let them take our lives away.
33:22We have to stand up and fight.
33:24Come on.
33:25Don't be afraid to let your feelings go.
33:28What can we do?
33:29We can destroy the ship.
33:31If we destroy the ship, they can't use us to run it.
33:34We can't even see it.
33:35I'll take care of that.
33:38As soon as you see it, attack.
33:45I don't know about you, but I will be glad to retire.
33:48Not a single bullet fired.
34:06Maybe now we'll have the element of surprise.
34:09Well, a couple of these might not hurt his backup.
34:11No!
34:12You'll back up in a real hurry if you touch that.
34:18You'll back up in a real hurry.
34:48You'll back up in a real hurry.
35:03Is that two to zero?
35:12There's a violation of your operational directives to kill.
35:16Then don't force me to do it.
35:17Your circuits will overload.
35:20Your entire processing network will shut down in seconds.
35:23If I retire, you're retiring with me.
35:29There it is! Let's go!
35:32Destroy the spaceship!
35:44No one gets through!
35:48Hold your fire!
35:50Tell the trustees to drop their weapons.
35:54How long do you think you can survive without energy cells?
35:58You need us as much as we need you.
36:01No!
36:04Destroy this ship!
36:11What the devil is going on?
36:12Your interference has caused a riot.
36:15If we destroy the spaceship, the Prim won't need us.
36:18If you destroy the spaceship, our atmosphere will kill the Prim.
36:21Better them than us.
36:23That sounds familiar.
36:24Killing the Prim is no solution.
36:26Yes, it is.
36:27Attack!

37:14read the situation but they're going to kill us no they're not no one's going to die i'll give you
37:22my word we can work it out come on ty you have to trust us
37:44you will all surrender understood let it go the workers must complete the project
37:57all who resist will be retired this is no solution
38:03the project must be completed understood
38:14no lara no no lara lara
38:23please don't go
38:26say christ
38:27she sacrificed herself for nothing for nothing can't you see they loved each other
38:54she died to save them all a man from our world once said quality of mercy is twice blessed
39:03by those who give and by those who receive
39:10perhaps there is a way
39:22initiating molecular systems check for departure
39:36gravitational alignment in 28 minutes 18 seconds sounds like the workers are running the show
39:43even without their bodies
39:45only until we return home their minds their sense of self their will to live all those qualities of
39:58life will be preserved until new bodies can be built for them i give you my word
40:04there is always an alternative to conflict sometimes it requires compromise and trust
40:12now lara's death won't be in vain we have learned many things in our travels
40:19but perhaps this is the most valuable lesson it could be the beginning of a whole new stage in
40:27evolution who knows what the future may bring

41:10should have stayed at the treehouse
41:12losing lara is going to be very hard on ty
41:23and more than the others he understands the cost of freedom
