Original subtitles

Vincent: This is where the wealthy and the powerful rule.

It is her world,

A world apart from mine.

Her name... Is catherine.

From the moment I saw her, she captured my heart

With her beauty,

Her warmth and her courage.

I knew then, as I know now,

She would change my life...

Forever.

Catherine: He comes from a secret place, far below the city streets,

Hiding his face from strangers,

Safe from hate and harm.

He brought me there to save my life.

And now, wherever I go, he is with me in spirit.

For we have a bond stronger than friendship or love.

And although we cannot be together,

We will never, ever be apart.

I'm telling you, I was biting my lip to stay awake.

I can't believe people like that

Really exist in the world.

So what if he's worth $50 million?

Spare some change?

No. Sorry.

Too darn bad.

(woman screams)

Shut up! (woman screaming)

Let's see what we got.

Hurry up.

Come on. That's mine.

Take that. Throw him in the car.

Come on. That's it.

(chuckling) all right.

Vincent: Our world sleeps

In these deep tunnels and chambers and caverns.

Even the pipes must deal with sleep.

Yet it is in these quiet moments

That I truly feel the balance of this place,

And remember the delicate miracle that it is.

At times, even to me, our world seems half-imagined,

As if suspended, kept in place

Only by the weight of the world above.

I know how fortunate we are, all of us, to have each other,

And what my life would be without them.

Sometimes, in these hours,

I hear whitman's song echo gently.

"I cannot define my satisfaction, yet it is so.

"I cannot define my life, yet it is so.

"is there any gift greater than this joy?

"can the soul offer a prayer more perfect

Than this tender silence?"

(speaking vietnamese)

English, dad. English.

Just go up and watch the register, okay, big shot?

It's good to finally meet you, miss chandler.

You, too, edward.

I was hoping I'd meet you

And your family at winterfest.

First one we miss in ten years.

Too busy with the store.

Next year. Come.

I'm collecting vegetable seeds

So we can grow our own garden.

That's wonderful, geoffrey.

You can't grow a garden without sunlight.

Mouse says we can.

Oh, yeah? How?

With special lights that imitate the sun.

He can't do that.

Can he, vincent?

Some things flourish in the sunlight,

Others like the darkness.

We have some rich soil.

Mouse's lights will help.

See?

This is so generous of you, long.

Business is good.

Still, I don't...

Catherine,

When I come from vietnam, I had nothing.

No one, no english.

Then father, vincent and the others...

There's not enough I could ever give them,

Or do for them, to return what they gave me.

25 blocks is a long walk.

You should let me come.

No. You have a store to run.

You're right. I have a store to run.

Bye.

Bye.

There she is!

Ah! Help at last.

Hi, catherine. Hi, catherine.

Hi, catherine.

Hi, zach.

How come it's called eggplant

If it doesn't come from an egg?

That's a good question, geoffrey.

I'll tell you about it on the way back, okay?

Come on, let's go.

I can carry it, vincent.

We'll be okay.

You can catch up with us later.

He's sweet.

Not too subtle, but sweet.

Zach knows my time with you is... Special.

I can't believe how much he's changed.

He's becoming a man.

It must be wonderful to watch a child grow.

To follow a life.

He reminds me so much of devin--

The way he leads the others, his sense of adventure.

He's restless.

Are you afraid

He might leave someday?

Children grow up, leave home.

Zach wouldn't be the first to make that choice.

Will you walk me back?

Come on, geoffrey! Hurry up!

Okay, I'm hurrying!

I'm hurrying.

(distant subway rattling)

You scared me.

Who are you?

"who are you?"

What do you want?

"what do you want?"

I asked you first.

"I asked you first."

What's wrong with you?

"what's wrong with..."

Hey! What are you...?

You didn't need to do that.

I would have shared.

There was nothing I could do.

He... He just took it from me.

That's fine, geoffrey.

You did the right thing.

This might hurt a little.

Pascal said there was trouble.

Is everyone all right?

Oh, just a few scrapes.

It appears that there is an unfamiliar family

Living in the tunnels.

I never saw anybody act that way.

When people are hungry, geoffrey,

They do what they must to survive.

But they could have asked.

Well, maybe they didn't know that.

Perhaps, the place they come from,

People don't give freely to one another.

Did they mention anything

About who they were, where they come from?

He didn't say anything.

Excuse me, father. Randolph, what have you found?

A new tunnel, leading from the inner maze,

Not far from where we barricaded the entrance.

Was there any sign of the outsiders?

There was. They used our barricade

To start a fire for cooking.

Pascal helped me put it out.

It's been a harsh, long winter.

They must be cold and hungry.

Is there just the three of them?

Don't know yet.

Perhaps we could approach them.

Talk to them.

We could make them an offering

Of food and clothing and our goodwill.

That's a fine idea.

Randolph, can you locate them?

No problem. Good.

Well, we'll make up a package...

Anything we can spare.

We'll offer to help.

Shh. It's them.

Be careful.

I'll be near.

(coughing)

Hello.

We've brought you these gifts.

It's a blanket,

For warmth, for when it's cold.

Man: Thank you.

You're very kind.

Oh, now look at this.

Now, this is really nice.

I mean, this is really, really nice.

I made it.

You made it?

With your own two hands?

Yes.

Well, lizzy's been real cold,

And I know she could use it.

Couldn't you lizzy?

Then again, dak and jared have been complaining

About the cold, too, and jez got that ugly cough.

And we can't forget hog and the others.

Especially hog.

Hog?

So, uh... Got any more blankets?

(laughing)

We came here...

To welcome you.

We brought gifts.

Let me ask you something.

Where do you live?

In, um...

In another part of the tunnels.

Uh-huh.

And how many of you are there?

Who else?!

Father: There is no one else.

We live alone.

Fine.

Now, what about the boy?

Father: The boy? Oh, he...

He was frightened.

I told him there was nothing to fear.

Nothing to fear.

Hey, now, that's not...

(mary screams) stop it!

Will you stop this?

This is enough!

Enough.

The old man is right.

That's enough.

We... Are leaving now.

We'll be seeing you... Neighbor!

Good-bye.

(all laughing)

(laughter continues)

Leave it. Leave it.

We're all right.

Come on.

Vincent.

Catherine: Who are they?

Vincent: We don't know.

Perhaps a family.

They're violent.

Maybe I could do something.

You must stay away from the tunnels

Until the danger has passed.

What does father say?

He struggles to remain optimistic.

I think he still believes these people can be moved

By goodwill and reason.

But you don't think so.

No.

You think you know how it will end.

We are so vulnerable.

Well, then let me try to help.

No. You must stay away from it.

That world, those tunnels are part of my life, too.

And so are you.

And if the worst should happen?

You must not be anywhere near.

If the worst happens, I want to be by your side.

With you. No.

Not like that, not ever again.

Vincent, wait.

(rain pouring)

Vincent.

Mouse, are you all right?

A little wet. Not the best hiding place.

You shouldn't be here alone.

Not alone-- with you.

Come to find you.

Show you.

Show me what?

Not tell-- show!

This way.

Hey!

Mouse's shirt.

Mary asked, mouse gave.

Charity.

You did the right thing, mouse.

No one knew this would happen.

(panting): Father!

Father...

I've got to speak to you.

Of course, mary. What is it?

They haven't left.

They've only moved closer. What?

I can hear them in the chambers above mine.

But all those entrances

Were sealed up. Are you sure?

I'm sure. I'll never forget those sounds.

If they've penetrated this far,

It means even the deeper tunnels

In that section are no longer safe.

Father,

I don't want another confrontation.

None of us do, mary.

It was a mistake trying to approach them

In the first place.

Kindness... Has always been our first impulse.

In this case, our kindness

Couldn't have been more misguided.

Oh.

I'll begin packing.

Perhaps it's only for a short time.

19 years.

I've lived in that chamber for 19 years.

I'm sorry.

There's no alternative.

I know.

(subway train rumbling)

(crashing)

Listen.

(men laughing)

(crashing)

We must hurry.

Quickly.

What about the rest of mary's stuff?

It's all right, zach.

What we've packed is plenty.

Zach, over here. Quickly.

Come on.

Is that too heavy for you?

No. Well, off you go.

All right, marian.

This won't be for long,

I promise you.

Mary, we must go, too.

Mary...

Father, I need a moment.

All right? Just a moment.

(screaming)

(roars)

(roaring)

(roaring)

(roaring)

(people talking excitedly)

Father: Quiet, please! Now listen!

Everyone, will you please be quiet?

Quiet, please.

We must be together in this.

We've tried diplomacy,

And look where that got us.

Now is the time for action!

Just what is it you are suggesting, william?

Our strength is in our numbers.

We could overwhelm them,

Drive them out. But at what risk?

No greater risk than we're facing now.

Look what happened to randolph.

(all clamoring)

Man: If you have an enemy, you have to get rid of them.

Just a minute!

Tell me, is it justice you are seeking

Or is it vengeance?

We're talking about self-defense.

Are we?

These people brutally murdered

One of our own people!

So you have evidence

As to which of the strangers was responsible?

Or do you presume they are

All guilty?

This world was built on the foundation

Of fairness and respect for all.

No, we do not renounce violence altogether.

If we are attacked, we will fight to protect our home,

But we will never instigate that violence!

And I will not allow this community

To be dragged down to that level!

(people murmuring)

Then what should we do?

All right.

We move those people who living in the perimeter chambers

Closer in to the inner circle.

We, uh, seal up all tunnels,

And we travel in groups of no less than five.

Mary has already designed a plan

For the immediate evacuation of the children.

We're in the process of contacting the helpers now.

We expect to lead two groups of children to the surface

In less than an hour.

Good.

William is right.

In one respect;

Our strength lies in our unity.

Stay together, and this nightmare will pass.

You're making a serious mistake.

You're letting ideas get in the way

Of what's obvious.

More blood will be spilled.

Part of what william says is true.

A violent confrontation with these people must be avoided.

And when it can no longer be avoided?

Only then,

When there is no other option.

But when that time comes, father, you will not hesitate?

Of course, I won't hesitate.

You will let me go out

To do what must be done.

Whatever

Must be done.

I pray that won't be necessary.

So do I.

That is not who you are to us.

That is who I am.

And perhaps even my fate...

The very part of me which I struggle to overcome

Gives me the power to protect the people who protect me...

Who give me life.

Vincent...

That is not your fate.

My survival depends on this world.

There is no other choice.

For me, there is no other place, father.

Father...

Catherine, this is simon, and this is matthew.

Hello.

I got your message.

I've been trying to reach you for hours.

It was too dangerous for pascal to remain in the pipe chamber.

What's going on?

Vincent has told you about the strangers

In the tunnels?

Yes.

One of our sentries, randolph, has been killed.

Oh, my god.

We fear the violence will escalate

Unless drastic steps are taken.

I'll help you any way I can. What do you need?

We've begun to evacuate the children

To temporary shelters above.

Some of them are getting ready now.

And they need a place to stay?

No,

Only an escort.

Now, could you meet a small group

At the central park threshold in about an hour?

Of course.

Good. They'll be with pascal.

He will give you further instructions at that time.

I, um...

I want you to do one more thing to help me.

When you see pascal,

I'd like you to give him something.

Yes?

We need a way to discourage these people

From further violence.

We cannot allow them to control our lives with fear.

I'm...

I'm talking of a... A weapon.

Your gun.

A gun?

In the tunnels?

Yes.

That's why I asked you to see me.

Vincent knows nothing of my decision.

You want to protect him?

Yes.

I pray it will never be used

For anything more than a threat,

But perhaps that threat will keep him and us safe.

Well, then I will get one for you.

Good.

An hour then, if all goes well?

How come we're going this way?

'cause this is the safest way we know.

It's so dark.

Don't worry. No one will hurt you.

How long do we have to stay above?

Until it's safe.

How long will that be?

I don't know.

(voices shouting)

Everyone up against the tunnel wall.

Ambushed.

Three of them, I think.

Matthew and simon are still back there

(men screaming)

Take the children quickly.

Gather everyone in the great hall.

No one is to remain alone.

(roaring)

(roaring)

(growls)

(panting)

(indistinct conversations)

Father: Simon and matthew?

And those responsible?

So...

What do we do now?

Marry: We must protect the children.

How many groups made it to the surface?

Three groups; 18 children.

Good, good.

Well, we're safe here.

They'd be foolish to attack us here.

Safe?

Father, these people threatened our children!

Yes, I am aware of what happened.

How can we just sit here and do nothing?!

This is cowardice!

There's no shame in making sacrifices for something

You believe in strongly, william.

I believe in the children.

I believe in the life we have built here.

So do we.

And yet you'd see it destroyed, changed,

Without a fight?

No one will ever destroy this place.

Then we must strike back... Hard.

We have the means. We have each other.

And we have something else. We have you, vincent.

You would send vincent out to do murder?

I would do what was necessary!

He's upset.

He's-he's frustrated.

I'll talk with him.

I'm sorry, vincent,

I am truly sorry.

Don't come any closer.

But you're so pretty.

Because I know you--

You don't know me.

Vincent...

There are dark places in all of us.

But part of me feeds in that darkness,

And I am lost in it.

Leave me now.

Please.

I love you.

Vincent: That night, she truly walked alone.

And deep within me, I felt the cold and terrible truth

Of all that kept us apart.

Fate had left me adrift

With no wind to carry me to the safe shores

Of her love.
