What is happening?
Is this about Ivy and myself?
I know you are very fond of her.
I know she is fond of you.
There are different types of love.
Noah?
You'll be late for the meeting hall.
Would you like your father to walk you there?
Noah?
Bad colour!
I beg your pardon.
What is it?
There has been an accident.
Noah Percy...
Was found with quarts of blood,
on his clothes and hands.
But it was not his own,
and he will not speak into who's it is.
Ivy.
Lucius?
Lucius Hunt?
You answer me right this moment!
Mr. Walker!
Papa, I cannot see his colour!
Take her! Take her!
He has suffered a great deal.
He may pass at any time!
Please give all your prayers and good thoughts.
He will hear them,
I'm in love!
I know!
He is in love with me!
I know.
If he dies,
all that is left of me will die with him!
I ask permission,
to travel through Covington Woods,
and to go to the towns,
to retrieve medicines!
That may safe him,
Lucius Hunt.
You are my father,
I listen to you in all things.
I'll trust your decision.
I've done what I can to close the wounds,
but here is an infection,
What can be done to mend him?
We could only pray!
If there were no limitations what could be done?
What are you asking, man?
Is there anything at all,
that can be done to mend the boy?
Please, Victor, would you be so kind
as to answer my question?
If the infection is contained,
he may still survive.
I must speak out.
You have a restless spirit,
I know the thing that is in your head
You're thinking,
of going to the town.
Tell me I'm wrong.
You have made an oath,
Edward, us all have never to go back.
It is a painful bargain,
but, no good can come without sacrifice,
these are your words I'm saying.
you cannot break the oath,
it is sacred.
It is a crime, what has happened to Lucius.
You have taken the oath.
You and the rest of the elders.
Are you listening to me?
You,
have taken the oath.
The moment I heard,
my daughter’s vision had finally failed her,
and that she would forever be blind,
I was sitting in that very chair.
I was so ashamed,
What do you know about your grandfather?
He who was the wealthiest man in the towns?
That he was, he had a gift for that.
If he was given 1 Dollar, and in a
fortnight he would have turned into 5
You do not know what money is,
it is not part of our life here.
Money,
can be a wicked thing,
it can turn men's hearts black,
good men's hearts.
My father could not see this.
For all his gifts,
he was a poor judge.
That means character.
Your grandfather was a good man Ivy,
he had a laugh, he could be heard three houses away.
He used to hold my hand as I,
hold yours.
He taught me strength and showed me love,
and told me to,
lead, when others would only follow.
Your grandfather James Walker died in
his sleep, a man put a gun to his head and shot him while he dreamed.
I tell you this,
so you will understand some of the reasons for my actions.
And the actions of others.
You are a strong one Ivy.
You lead, when others will follow.
You see light, when there is only darkness.
I trust you.
I trust you, among all others.
Thank you.
Ivy, do you know where you are?
At the old shed that is not to be used.
Ivy.
Yes, father.
Do your very best not to scream.
What?
I'm leaving,
to fetch your medicines.
I had a difficult time,
having a way.
Where is Edna?
Ivy,
has asked,
to go to the towns,
for medicines,
Christoph,
you needn't be scared.
We have the magic rocks.
They will keep us safe.
Why have we not heard of these rocks before?
Christoph, please, do not leave us.
There is nothing to fear,
Then why do you have the cloak of the safe colour?
We will light torches.
It will be safe.
It is forbidden.
Christoph!
Ivy, there is something in these woods,
turns my stomach to rot.
You will be safe.
They will not harm you.
For you cannot see,
they will take pity on you.
The way they took pity on Noah,
when he ventured in the woods.
They will kill me.
Ivy,
I cannot stay.
You are better in these woods,
than most boys.
Are you not to say so.
It is my burden, Finton.
You may go. - Come home with me?
Do your very best not to scream!
There is an odd smell.
It is ahead of you.
What is it?
I cannot explain in words.
It is just a few steps.
Those we don't speak of.
Don't be frightened.
It is only farce.
Do not be frightened.
There did exist rumours of,
creatures in these woods.
It is in one of the history books I used
to teach in the towns.
The screams from the woods.
We created those sounds.
The ceremony of meat.
We remove it ourselves, with elders always aside.
The truth?
They are farce too?
We didn't want anyone to go to the towns, Ivy.
What about the animals?
The skins of those,
are the elders responsible for that too?
I believe one of the elders is responsible,
it will not happen again.
There is no one in this village who has not lost
someone irreplaceable, who has not felt lost,
so deeply, that they question the very
merit of living at all.
It is a darkness I wished,
you would never know.
Forgive us our silly lies, Ivy, they were not,
meant to harm.
I am,
sad for you, papa,
for all the elders.
On this paper has been written,
a tool of medicine it is common in the town.
you will go.
With two escorts.
Follow the sounds of the stream.
A half days journey will,
bring you to a hidden road.
At this hidden road, the two escorts will wait,
as you continue.
You, alone, will follow the road.
and leave Covington Woods.
You are to tell no one
in the towns, who you are.
And return with haste.
I cannot come with you.
You gave your heart, to this boy,
he is in need.
Are you ready to take this burden?
Which by right is yours and yours alone?
I am making fresh cloths for Lucius.
He needs them.
I have send someone for help.
I have send Ivy to the towns!
You cannot.
It is all I can give you.
It is all I can give you!
I accept.
What have you done?
He is the victim of a crime.
We have agreed never to go back! Never!
What was the purpose of our leaving,
let us not forget it was our hope of
something good and right!
You should have not made decisions without us!
I am guilty Robert!
I made a decision of the heart,
I cannot look into another’s eyes
and see the same look I see in August's
without justification
It is true people, I cannot bear it.
You have jeopardised everything we've made
Who do you think will continue this place?
This life?
Do you plan to live forever?
It is in them that our future lies!
It is in Ivy and Lucius that this, this
way of life will continue.
Yes, I have risked,
I hope I am always able to risk
everything for the just and right cause.
If we did not make this decision,
we could never again call ourselves innocent
and that, in the end, is what we have protected here.
Innocence.
That I'm not ready to give up!
Let her go!
If it ends it ends.
We can move towards hope,
it's the most beautiful about this place.
We must not run from heartache.
My brother was living in the towns,
the rest of my family died here.
Heartache is a part of life, we know that now.
Ivy is running toward hope,
let her run.
This place is worthy.
She should be successful in the quest.
How could you have send her?
She's blind.
She is more capable than the rest of us.
When she is lead by love,
the world woos for love.
It kneels before it in all.
There did exist rumours of
creatures in these woods.
It is in one of the history books I used
to teach in the towns
It is not real!
Noah?
Oh my God!
Where can it be?
He found one of the suits we kept under the floorboards.
The animals!
His will to live is very strong.
A half-day's journey
will bring you to a hidden road.
You, alone,
will follow the road.
And leave Covington Woods.
You are to tell no one in the towns where we are,
and return with haste.
My sister did not live passed her 23rd birthday.
A group of men raped and killed her.
They stuffed her in a dumpster,
two blocks from her apartment.
My brother worked in an emergency
room down town
A drug addict came in with a wound to his ribs,
my brother tried to dry the wound,
he pulled a gun from his jacket
and he shot my brother,
through his left eye.
My husband Michael,
left for the supermarket at 9:15 in the morning.
He was found with no money and no clothes
in the east river, three days later.
My father was shot
By a business partner,
who then hanged himself in my father’s closet.
They argued over money.
I am a professor, I teach,
American History, at the University of Pennsylvania.
I have an idea,
that I would like to talk to you about.
Ml-27, there is a girl, I am gonna check it out.
Walker "Wild Life Preserve"
You are not allowed to go in there.
Please return to your vehicle.
What was that noise?
What are you doing out here?
How did you get here?
Are you from the towns?
Where are you from?
The woods!
You came from the woods?
In there?
Will you help me?
I need to find a doctor of medicine.
Find these things, you have to make haste.
Listen, mam',
I'm just supposed to,
Is someone hurt?
Please sir, we must make haste!
You live in there?
I do, sir.
What is your name?
Kevin.
Kevin,
you have kindness in your voice.
I did not expect that.
We have guards here, exactly every 10 miles,
around the perimeter of the preserve.
We keep medical supplies
in case of animal bites or related injuries.
You can find the things written on the paper?
You have to wait here.
Please mister,
Please.
Take this as payment.
You're not tricking me, are you?
I do not understand?
What is your name?
Ivy.
Ivy Elisabeth Walker
What is with the girl?
I tried calling you back from the loft,
but you didn't answer.
Oh, it was just some teenagers, they were lost.
I give you some advice,
Don't get into conversations.
You start talking,
you start getting into hassles, which is paying all of us,
no one is allowed to go in there,
disturb the animal sanctuary,
People’s interest get peaked.
It's a real easy gig, Kevin,.
maintain and protect the border,
that's it.
A few years ago it got out into the papers
that some government guys had been paid of
to keep plane routes from flying over this place.
Those were very stressful times for me.
Don't cause me any troubles.
Do not get into conversations.
E.J., where is the manuals ladder?
I need to fix the sign.
It's in the back.
Ivy has returned with medicines from the towns.
She was attacked by a creature and killed it
We will find him.
And we will give him,
a proper burial.
We will tell the others,
he was killed by the creatures.
Your son has made our stories real.
Noah has given us a chance to continue this place.
Here, that is something,
we still wish for.
I'm back Luci
