The Fountain Page #4

A special tree sprouts there.

They say whoever drinks of its sap...

...will live forever.

Eternal life?

As Spain's fate hangs at the whims

of a merciless enemy...

-...you dare taunt us with pagan yarns!

-They are not yarns.

Remember...

...our own Bible confirms it.

In Genesis, there are two trees

in the Garden of Eden.

The tree of knowledge

and the tree of life.

When Adam and Eve disobeyed

and ate from the tree of knowledge...

...the Lord banned them from the garden

and hid the tree of life.

Could it be?

Could it be?

Kneel, conquistador.

Let in the morning light.

The beast runs amok in my kingdom.

He has isolated me.

And now he is sharpening his talons

for one more fateful push.

But salvation lies

in the jungles of New Spain.

Will you deliver Spain from bondage?

Upon my honor and my life.

Then you shall take this ring

to remind you of your promise.

You shall wear it when you find Eden.

And when you return...

...I shall be your Eve.

Together, we will live forever.

Iz?

Izzi?

There you are.

-Hey, what are you doing here?

-Babe, we have Lipper at 3.

This is an actual Mayan book.

Look. It explains the Creation myth.

You see, that's First Father.

He's the very first human.

Is he dead?

He sacrificed himself to make the world.

That's the tree of life,

out of his stomach.

-Hey, come.

-Listen.

His body became the tree's roots.

They spread and formed the Earth.

His soul became the branches,

rising up, forming the sky.

All that remained was First Father's head.

His children hung it in the heavens,

creating Shibalba.

Shibalba? The star.

Nebula.

So, what do you think?

-About?

-That idea.

Death as an act of creation.

Stay together, guys.

I'll pull out the car and meet you in front.

Iz. Iz!

-Hi.

-Tommy.

Hey.

Tommy.

You're all right.

I'm close.

No. There are options.

We will have to make some choices.

Alan?

You had a minor seizure.

The growth in your brain stem's back

and it's growing faster.

-The next time...

-No.

No.

We had a breakthrough.

I know I can translate it to help you.

I just need a little more time.

Okay? There's hope. There's real hope.

-Tommy.

-What? What, baby?

I wasn't afraid.

I know. You're very strong.

No.

No.

What?

When I fell...

...I was full.

Held.

I know. I caught you. I held you.

It's okay, Iz.

Everything's gonna be all right.

There's time. We have time.

We need to examine the region

for increased neural kinesis.

What the hell's going on?

-I brought in Dean Katari and Dr. Handel.

-I'm sorry, what are you doing here?

-Antonio and Betty were just showing--

-Donovan's latest scans.

Synaptic growth increased

another 13 percent.

His brain is identical to scans
