After Earth Page #4

Synopsis: One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father.

This will be your creation.

Stand down, cadet!

- Kitai!

- Go away!

Control yourself, cadet!

Kitai.

Stand down!

Get away!

- Get the hell away!

- Kitai!

To your rear.

Out to your rear.

There's a river,

250 meters straight ahead, go.

They are no longer in pursuit.

Cadet, you are not being followed.

I repeat, you are not being followed.

Kitai, you are running from nothing.

Kitai!

Kitai, put my damn cutlass away.

You are not being followed.

Take a knee.

Take a knee, cadet.

You want to die today,

that's fine,

but you are not going to kill me.

Kitai, I need you to do

a physical assessment.

You are showing rapid blood

contamination. Are you cut?

I'm dizzy.

Kitai, self-eval.

Good, god.

Dad, I can't stand.

Open your med-kit.

You are going to have

to administer the antitoxin in sequence.

Inject yourself the clear liquid first.

Do it now.

I can't see.

The poison is affecting

your nervous system. Stay even.

Dad, please come help me.

I can't see.

I can't do this without my sight, dad.

Please, come and get me.

Kitai, inject yourself

directly into your heart...

...with the first stage.

Do it now.

Now the second. ASAP.

To your left, Kitai.

Left.

I can't feel my hand.

Dad, I can't feel my hands.

Press it into the ground.

Roll over on it

and press it into the ground, Kitai.

Great work, cadet.

But you are going to have to lie there

for a moment.

The parasite that stung you...

...has a paralyzing agent in its venom.

So you are going to have to

lie there for a little bit.

While the antitoxin does its job.

It's time to wake up.

Son,

the temperature is dropping

five degrees every ten minutes.

You have got to wake up.

Can you blink your eyes?

Son,

I need you to, please,

blink your eyes.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

That sucked. /

That is correct.

You got 9.7 kilometers to the hot spot.

How about you show me that

10k in 50 minutes, cadet?

Sir, yes, sir.

Two mikes out. All good.

Who wants to be a ranger?

Who wants it?

Watch him go.

Watch him go.

Five mikes out.

Come on. Lights out.

Happy 19th birthday, Senshi.

Dad, you help me.

No, Senshi. You go ahead.

You blow.

Come on, Dad. Blow.

Nah. You know there's no way

I can actually do that from here.

No. I think you can.

Faia, you're right there.

Help the girl.

You can do it.

I know you can.

Hot spot one arrival.

H plus 54 minutes.

Equipment check and consolidate.

Take your next inhaler.

Your... oxygen extraction is bottoming.

Take your next breathing fluid.

Second dose of breathing fluid complete.

Count off remaining.

Four vials remain, sir.

Repeat.

Four vials remain, sir.

Dad?

Dad!

I'm here.

How'd you do it?

How'd you first ghost?
