The Book of Eli Page #4

like you to talk.

I dont know!

I dont know.

Yes, okay. Yes,

he was reading.

What kind of book

was he reading?

I don't know, an

old leather one.

And?

I don't know, it had

some thing on the front.

Tell me.

I need you to

let her go.

Show me!

Redridge!

Sh*t! I stayed

up all night.

Where is he?

I dont...

I just want to

make sure...

...there's no

acid in there.

Doesn't matter, just

take these off.

- Take them off.

- Let me dry...

- Hey!

- Alright!

Thank you. You can tell

them I made you do it.

- Say it.

- You made me do it.

Is that thing loaded?

I don't think

it's loaded.

Only one way

to find out.

Look, I need

that book.

I mean I want

the book. And you.

If you make

me choose,

I'll kill you,

I'll take the book.

Why, why do

you want it?

I grew up with it.

I know its power.

And if you read it,

then so do you.

That's why they burned

them all after the war.

Just staying alive

is an act of faith,

building this town

is an even bigger

act of faith. But they

don't understand that.

None of them do.

And I dont have the

words to help them,

but the book does.

And I admit...

I've had to do things,

many many things,

I hate to ,

I confess that.

But if we had

that book,

I wouldn't have to.

Can you imagine how

different, how righteous

this little world

could be if we had

the right words

for our faith.

The people would truly

understand why

they're here and what

they're doing,

they wouldn't need any

other uglier motivations.

It's not right to keep

that book hidden away,

it's meant to be

shared with others.

Meant to be spread.

Isn't that what

you want?

Of all my heart

and soul.

I always believed that

I'd find a place where

this book belongs,

where it was needed.

Well, I haven't

found it yet.

I love this guy.

I love this guy.

Shoot him. Please.

What are you

standing around for?

Take him out,

god damn it!

I don't like being followed.

I wanna come with you.

- Are you dumb?

- I hate it here.

Then change it.

My mother thinks I'll

be safer with you.

I'll take you to where

we get our water.

You can have all

that you can carry.

I mean all that

we can carry.

Carnegie knows about two

more springs up North.

He says he's gonna

build more towns.

How did he know

about this one?

He's been here.

When he was young.

In the world before.

I guess everyone else

who knew about it died.

We really better hurry.

I think I left my

glasses inside.

can you take a

look for me?

What are you doing?

You are such a liar.

I'm not a liar.

You said I could

come with you,

if you got your water.

I didn't say that,

you said that.

Besides, the road's

no place for you.

Much worse than
