- Pull the fucking chute! - It's not releasing.
What are you doing?
Manual release on the outside.
You'll be killed.
Here we go...
Come on!
Pull the fucking chute! Do it! Pull it.
What's going on?
We're still falling.
- We're too heavy. - We lost the chute.
Goddam it!
Is there a back-up?
Hit the back-up!
- No! - Fuck, no! Yes, motherfucker.
Pop it now, we'll shred it like the first!
Open low, it'll slow us down before we hit.
- Before the silk rips apart. - He's right.
- What did he say? - I've got not idea.
- Juba's right. - Hit the goddam backup.
We've only got one chute left.
We rip that one, we're dead.
When we're lower, we'll pop it.
- Hit the god dam chute. - 1500.
You better be right about this, Juba.
You sure you know what you're talking about?
You better be right about this, you son of a bitch.
244... 152...
- Ready? - Any time!
Any time now.
Open! Open now!
- Now! - Pull the goddam chute!
There you go...
Come on, give me that.
The Captain's fucked.
We'll cut you loose.
It hit the artery.
If you pull it out, I'm gone.
- Amen. - Amen.
Sergeant Hunter.
May I ask the borrow of a grenade, please?
Thank you.
Good luck, Sergeant.
White phosphorous?
Conchita here, she's a real spitfire.
Just make sure you're not near me when your gun blows up.
- Where are we? - Off by 4 leagues north-southwest.
Gotta pass through the city like the old monk said.
Let's go.
Check your targets.
Two...
Need a hand with that, boss?
Be quiet.
Refugees. Where the hell are they going?
Hunter?
The current bid stands at two gold watches...
a diamond necklace, and 10,000 gold talents!
Get out of here, go on. Clear off, then.
- Going once, going twice... - I said, get back!
Sold! To the skeleton in the monkey suit.
One ticket, not two!
- I bought it! - And she'll show her gratitude...
cleaning my crap from here to Mars.
Unless you want to buy another ticket?
That's all my money!
Then fuck off!
Do you know who I am?
That's who you are.
Ass, stash or cash! Nobody rides free!
I want everybody on in ten minutes.
We need to cut through there.
I want diamonds.
- Good place for an ambush. - Can't be too many mutes.
There's too much easy meat.
All the more reason for them to come.
I don't care whose... open it.
Come on, show us your money. It's your life I'm talking about.
Give me that... ah, fuck off.
Let it go, Hunter.
We go through the square.
- We don't have time for this. - Make time.
The next one begins in 5.000 talents.
Save yourselves. Get your money out, come on!
Any advance on 6,000?
Come on, we haven't got all day.
Price stands at 7,000 talents...
three bottles of very old Scottish whiskey...
Get out of it.
Let them on.
Are you making a bid?
First you take the kids and then the women...
and then you take the men if there's any room left.
Hey, Soldier-Boy. The ship can only carry so much weight.
Yeah? What do you weigh?
- 275kg? - 310kg.
310, that's two women and two kids. Come on. Let's go.
- What do you weigh? - Very little.
Dump the luggage. Take them all.
It's top.
Church, it's not too far. It's just in the middle of the old city.
You figure out where we're going yet?
Straight on.
Listen you endanger the mission again, I shoot you myself.
Why wait?
Christ!
What sort of church is this?
How do you lose a city?
The catacombs lead down to the Lost City.
There must be thousands.
Each New Age builds upon the bones of the old.
How many times have they come before?
They didn't do this, we did this.
We've always excelled at killing one another.
They would challenge our supremacy...
as the architects of our own end.
Halt!
- Brother? - Yes?
The Lost City.
That skyscraper, we need to go down, deep into it.
The City of the Ancients, buried 500 years ago...
in the Black Winter.
- Holy shit! - We're being watched.
What are they?
I have no idea.
What's it say?
"Abandon all hope."
Motherfuckers.
No shit.
Jesus, that's deep.
Someone's going to have to stay up here.
We don't want them coming down on top of us.
I got it.
You watch your ass out there, compaņero.
It don't look that safe.
Got to pay for those tickets sooner or later.
Take care of yourself, Juba.
Sixty storeys. We'll go first and let the others find the way.
Yeah, what do you say?
Brother, alright.
This is the brake. It controls how fast you go down, okay?
You lift it up and let yourself down.
Punch it in, you stop.
- That's it. Just take it easy. - And this?
That's the quick release. Don't touch that.
You alright?
Let's go.
20.
How fucking deep is this thing?
- It's getting hot down here. - 40
- Samuel? - 55.
How far?
- Stop! - 60
- We're running out of rope here. - We've gone too far.
It's dark, God, it's dark.
Something's not right.
- It can't be. - Got anything in that dammed book?
What have I missed?
We got people coming down.
Don't fall behind, Steiner. It's a long way down.
Yeah, all the way to hell.
Weird sounds down here, pal.
It has to be here. 55, 60 floors down...
there should be a ledge. It says so right here.
It has to be here.
- Don't let me fall. - I'm trying.
You are a lucky son of a bitch.
God provides, Sergeant.
God provides.
Close the gate.
Hold up! Hold up!
Coming down.
We got an ugly.
- We're bottled up in here. - Wait! Use this.
Grenade!
- Grenade! - Grenade!
Don't drop that match!
Go, go, go!
- Any last words? - Shut the fuck up!
Are you well?
Reload!
Down!
Anybody hurt?
Hey... shit!
Let's go... let's go.
Dead end.
- Anyone got a deck of cards? - MacGuire.
Figures.
Thanks.
They use tunnels to drag bodies to the machine.
It takes days, weeks even.
You got a lot of faith in that book.
You're wasting your time, Steiner.
I will not let a handful of rocks stop us.
- It's a lot more than a handful. - You find any inspiration?
It's a very good book, but in the end, even this book, is just a book.
Well...
And I take my Faith from something Greater.
Well, I haven't seen much to have faith in.
You have seen the worst that Man can do.
But you've not seen the worst the Enemy can do.
- So, who got your tickets? - What?
Your tickets?
- What does it matter? - It matters to me.
Who cares?
I'm sorry.
Everything that is, comes from God.
Everything is from God, and of God.
The Enemy came from the outside.
And as God is Life, the Enemy is Unlife.
It is the end of every living thing...
everywhere...
and for all time.
And so, I have Faith that we will triumph.
Because the alternative is too terrible to contemplate.
What if you don't believe in God?
If you did not believe in God, you would not be here.
Are you guys gonna help?
Maybe you haven't noticed, but your mission is kind of fucked.
You should have a little faith.
Give me a hand.
Something's down there.
Hold up!
Poor bastards! Looks like they've been down there for weeks.
We mustn't linger here.
Where the hell are they taking them?
Hunter? What is he doing?
- Is that...? - Sergeant?
- Jesus. - Top?
That's Nathan.
Fuck!
Come on, let's go.
It's just one man.
I know that man.
We have a mission.
Vaya con Dios.
Let's go!
- Nate! - Mitch?
They got you as well.
Don't talk. I'm getting you out of here, pal.
- Where are my girls? - They're safe.
They're halfway to Mars by now.
Ready?
We're almost there, keep going.
What's that?
What the fuck are you doing?
I've got to find another way out of here.
I'm going to make you a sling... get you out of this hole.
- Mars, eh? - Yeah... Mars.
- How do you explain that one? - I did a deal for a guy...
Yeah, you know. Save the world kind of thing.
How's it going?
Jesus!
Listen to me. Listen.
Finish your mission.
I can't leave you here.
I'm not asking you to.
Tell Adelaide, and Gracie...
Tell them, tell them...
- Tell them. - Right.
- No. - Right.
You remember that...
Help!
The bag. We can't lose the bomb.
Take it! Take it!
Give me your hand!
We must go on.
- We have to go on! - We're still human, Samuel.
- Thank you. - It's an honour.
Fuck you!
Oh, come on, give me a sign.
Come on, fucker!
No!
Severian!
El Jesus.
Hunter!
When's the last time you spoke?
I can't remember.
I couldn't save him.
They dragged them all the way to the Machine.
- What are you doing? - We need this damn book.
It is not permitted.
They took everything.
He kept looking at this damn stuff. What's it say?
- I don't know. - Read it!
- I can't. - Come here!
Look, read.
I can't read.
You can't...
How can you believe in a book if you can't even read it?
I don't need to read it to believe that it's true.
- That's the nature of Faith. - Fantastic!
What do you believe in?
I'm not paid to believe. I'm paid to fuck shit up.
Are you coming?
Help me, please!
Help me!
Help me, please!
Shit! Duval and Steiner.
Are you guys still alive?
Can you still hold a gun?
Only with my right.
How about a rope?
Just say when.
God damn it!
I think they're coming through. That tunnel's not going to hold.
These rocks are not going to hold them away much longer.
Can't you go any faster?
Steiner? Steiner!
Jesus... no!
Hunter?
Are you one of them?
Get that pig-sticker out of my face.
Are you?
What do you think? Give me that bomb!
Give me the fucking bomb!
Shit! Here come those motherfuckers.
Anytime!
Put the detonator in the hole.
- You've got to be shitting. - Put it in the hole!
- Which hole? - Any hole!
This one...
Piece of shit... it doesn't fit!
There?
- It's not working. - What?
Give me the pages from the book!
- What are you doing? - I'm working on it.
I lost my sword.
Here.
Samuel?
Legion.
Severian, no! That's not Samuel.
Duval, no!
Kill him.
You are Samuel. It's alright.
That's for Nathan.
That's for El Jesus.
And this is for Samuel.
Jump!
Have Faith.
And so it ended...
I failed, he did not.
Apostate, unbeliever.
Saviour.
