After Earth Page #3

So I'll be able to see

everything that you see...

...and what you do not see.

I will guide you.

It'll be like I'm right there with you.

Take my cutlass.

It's the C-40.

Full, 22 configurations.

Kitai,

every single decision you make

will be life or death.

This is a class-1 quarantined planet.

Everything in this planet

has evolved to kill humans.

Do you know where we are?

No, sir.

This is Earth.

And... the Ursa?

There are three possibilities.

First and most likeliest,

it died in the crash.

The second and less likely,

is that it is injured very badly

and still contained.

The third and least likely,

is that it is out.

We will proceed, however,

in anticipation of the worst case scenario.

Every movement will be under

protocol 'escape and evade'.

If he's out there,

I will see him long before

he gets anywhere near you.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Do exactly as I tell you,

and we will survive.

Kitai, calm down.

Take a knee.

Root yourself in this present moment, now.

Sight, sound.

Smell.

What do you feel?

My body feels heavier.

Very good.

Earth gravitational pull

is different than at home.

Very good.

Now, lets go.

What happened?

You didn't see that?

- Kitai, what happened?

I'm fine.

No change, I just slipped.

There's condensation on the stones.

I'm good to go.

General Cypher Raige.

Initiating remote probe recon.

Primary target:

Ursa.

I want to reiterate that your navi-band...

...is our sole means of communication.

Roger.

Temperatures in this planet

fluctuate dangerously, Kitai.

And most of the planet

freezes over completely at night.

But there are hot spots.

Geothermal nodes

between here and the tail...

...that will keep you warm

during the freeze-over.

You must reach one of these hot spots...

...each evening before nightfall.

Is that understood?

- Copy.

Standard operating procedure

till I give you further instructions.

Stand by.

Dad, are you there?

Hey, dad, are you there?

Dad?

Are you there?

Hello?

I'm here.

A boy I know had this.

It's a real book.

From a museum.

It's 'Moby-Dick'.

He said I can even hold on to it.

Hold on, to what?

The book, dad.

Do they really kill these whales?

We, Senshi, for their oil...

...and they almost disappeared.

Just before the age of carbon fuels.

Where's your brother?

Kit.

Hi.

Dad, are you there?

I'm here.

Where are you?

My suit turned to black.

I like it, but I think it's something bad.

Your suit is made of smart-fabric.

It has motion sensors.

I'm tracking a life-form

moving towards you from the west.

It's closing rapidly.

50 meters.

It is right there, Kitai.

Do not... move.

Recognize your power.
