Hi, I'm Richard Schenkman, director "Jerome Bixby's The Man from Earth",
as well as the film you watched, "The Man from Earth: Holocene".
I and my team work hard for ensuring everyone in the world
who wants to watch this film, can free watch it on the internet or download it,
although we hope others will also participate in sharing this film.
But even though many people will access this film for free,
does not mean making this film without charge.
Dozens of people work for months or years for this film, and they deserve to be rewarded,
just as you deserve to be paid for your work , whatever your job, and whatever your way of working.
That's why I'm so grateful to all of you who have visited
and give donations, whatever the value,
when you watch a movie without having to spend money.
This is a global experiment in the reward system.
We ask people, "If you watch our film, and you like it,
will you pay directly something to the maker?
Once again thank you for your support, I hope you enjoy the movie "The Man from Earth: Holocene". Prehistoric girls are rather sexy.
I will cover that one. Yes, of course.
Look at this person, he is like, half animals... / He is the same as us.
Homo Sapiens, everyone? Genetically and biologically are no different from us.
We even live in geological times that are the same as them: Holocene.
Starting after the end ice age.
In fact, Cro-Magnon is an outdated term that distinguishes Europeans and Africans.
Does anyone still remember?
They have the same hopes and fears as we are. The same bond in family and group.
It may even be that their ties to groups are stronger than us. Also on fellow beings.
But, let's imagine. If this man is still alive today He will be very old.
Especially considering that most have never passed thirty-two years.
He might even appreciate antibiotics, and running shoes.
But what will he think about our actions with our world today?
A small group that he maintains desperately... now a generation of self-interested social media addicts...
so far from the perception of humanity, as if...
alien beings. / He talks about you, Bro.
Sorry.
Let's talk about equipment. / You're a tool.
The most basic tool is a piece of stone.
With a hammer stone you can break other stones and sharpen the edges.
Now these sharp stone pieces can be used to skin animals...
Is it almost done?
Not really.
Can't you just take a picture? / It's not his job.
Professor Shulman wants us to identify individual signs that indicate skull, say...
Paranthropus Boisei versus anth Paranthropus Robustus.
Yes, God. / What?
That's Professor Young. What is he doing here?
Professor Kittriss brings the kids study tour.
And he participated. Very sweet.
For God's sake, Tara, they live in one roof. Besides, he's too old.
At least, forty. After all, Kittriss is less interesting, I have to run my game.
Are you coming?
Yes, I think.
Professor Young, hi. So glad met you here.
Isabel and I are doing research. / I took the Transitional Man Early Shulman.
Make a sketch of the thigh bone and jaw?
Good, try to answer.
The brain is smaller, the upper part of the shell is rather pigmented...
wide upper jaw, but small tooth?
Homo Habilis. / Good. / Wait...
You teach comparative religion. - That's more in human history than religion, Tara. / Sure.
We want to find coffee. Want to come along?
I have a little business with Professor Kittriss when he finishes. But, thank you.
Do you like this Cro-Magnon?
They are more than a mixture of various ancient humans. But I like cave paintings.
Me too. Hey, let's take a picture with in front of the display.
Isabel...
Carolyn said you want to borrow some books.
Stop next time. Take the book as you like. If I haven't read it, maybe I won't read it.
Thank you, Professor Young.
You're welcome. See you in the lecture hall.
"I like paintings."
He knows more about this than museum workers. - They are called curators.
I mean, he is very brilliant.
With sexy buttocks.
CHICO, CALIFORNIA
Hi, honey./ Hi.
Whenever I run away with me.
Run from what? / Old body shape.
I have to take a shower. Are you willing to wash my back?
Actually, yes. But...
How are these children? Is there a child genius that I have to watch out for?
You mean, anyone who can write well?
Remember when kids go college to gain knowledge?
Now, it seems just an indifferent step towards Silicon Valley. And they are smart kids.
I don't know. Do you think such young people change in twenty years?
I like this gray hair.
But if it feels annoying, semirlah. Will keep secret.
Do you know Mohammed polish his hair?
Right, right? If that's good enough for the prophet, then...
There will be no one to pay attention to except yourself.
And he didn't age in ten years.
All women on campus are willing to sacrifice anything in order to have that secret.
Is that what they are after, Edith? / Never mind, Harry.
Move to a static bicycle class if you get bored with Zumba.
No matter what you do, the doctor says you have to...
I don't nag, Mom. You yourself complained about...
I have to go to college. I will be late.
Just like that, Mother: We better take care of ourselves each, just this once. Fair, right?
Again?
For many years he focused on the illness of my father who is now...
Gosh, Isabel. You're just waiting for news while your father... Your mother needs a break.
This is your life, right? Finally?
No, forgive me. I love you too.
I call again later. Dah.
You're a better kid than me.
Hey, everyone. Here is Matt Douglas from Primal Kickboxing.
Come on.
Are you ready? I'll make it easy for you.
So get into position. The first thing I did was with a head kick.
Then followed by two blows.
Come on, focus!
Hi, Bro.
That's right. Why do I bother?
I'm wrong. Right now I'm going down the stairs.
Five. Four.
Three.
Two.
One. Boom. See how fast...?
Extraordinary. You aren't even visible. Very fast, like Flash.
Come on, I'm waiting for you.
CHICO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Congratulations on teaching, Professor. You too, honey.
We are all burning. Burned by passion.
We burn with fire caused by by what the Buddha calls as three poisons.
Greed. Anger. Ignorance.
But he teaches that we can fix it. We can change all three.
Greed can be generosity.
Anger becomes Compassionate.
And Ignorance to be Wisdom.
There are miracles around us every time, he said.
In fact, our togetherness in this room is a miracle.
Isn't Buddha a bit hypocritical?
Of course, he left the world, his father's property, and asked us to live restraint...
but he himself is super-fat. Really fat.
You talk about statues that you see in Chinatown, right?
Buddha is described as those statues, he is Asian, right?
So... / It's not a Buddha.
You mean? / Think about it.
Siddhartha Gautama is Indian. Origin of Nepal.
A Chinese monk goes to India, becomes a Buddhist, goes home and starts spread religion.
Chinese people mix it with Taoism. Their monks introduced the Buddha...
named Hotei who is bald, robed, fat and happy.
Buddha is actually an ordinary person, normal body and thick hair.
But he is a god. / Not...
never admit that.
Only humans, who are long and ung reflective about human conditions and achieve enlightenment.
Like Jesus. It's just not blond and blue-eyed.
But Jesus is not just human. / (No?)
He claims to be a child of God. He died, and rose. So we know he is God.
Know or believe? You can only know what you can prove.
God cannot be proven, dilogika or dinalar.
You can trust God or Jesus... but not the same as knowing.
I know real Jesus; there is evidence history. And I believe he is God.
Aquinas says faith is a divine action given supernaturally. "Ask and you will receive it."
Kierkegaard instead said we must jump on faith.
That is the action you must choose to do.
Kierkegaard is more demanding. He is sick of people who just sit talking to religion all day, without doing anything about it.
Hopefully he means not this lecture. But, don't we have to talk about Buddha?
Jesus and Buddha have a lot of similarities. / How come?
Many overlap in their philosophy.
They both teach golden rules, where we must be generous and not judge others.
But the Buddha said, don't believe something just because it is written in the book.
The whole premise of Jesus is accept by faith. That's a big difference.
Also willing to suffer. Jesus suffered for us. - While the Buddha aims to eradicate suffering.
Removing wishes. / Which causes suffering, I know. I listened.
Good. The next lecture we close by going to Nirvana...
and complete this semester with Jainism.
It's like Buddhism, but it's not fun.
Jain women must be born again as men to achieve enlightenment.
We all know, it should be reversed. Thank you.
A good lecture. You never use notes. You only know all that.
I've been around for so long .
To respect the end of the semester, we will have a vegetarian Buddhist dinner. Can you come?
Thank you, but... I don't think so. / Busy?
I appreciate the invitation.
Maybe you need to know, The Buddha ate meat.
He never told you to be a vegetarian. He just doesn't like seeing animals killed.
Who likes? But you know, bacon. Donuts bacon. The best finding ever I have never seen it. / Haven't ever seen it? Everyone ever!
So? He will come? / Isabel can work it out. Yes, right?
I can try. / It doesn't feel, this course is almost complete.
Next semester he teaches boring things about Abrahamic religion and _ Zoroastrianism again.
Abrahamic religion isn't boring. / You know what I mean. It's just...
He should have taught Hellenistic. / Yes, Zeus, Herakles and others. That must be cool.
The problem is, he only teaches religion real, Liko./ Your mind is Greek and Roman is nothing?
Half of Christian culture is obtained from pagan people. Or do you need to walk The Church World Early again?
Friends, we must focus on important things. Make Professor Young attend dinner.
I have a lot of knowledge that I want to get from him. - Me too.
How do you do it? / Maybe Tara has an idea.
Don't be obscene, Liko./ Don't disturb him, Bro.
So, you will come to the Delta Psi party later? / People are animals.
Yes. Animal party. / Liko, you're like a child.
No, I don't need to get drunk on Wednesday night, thank you. With a bunch of guys.
You lose. I will come. Santo Philip?
Santo Philip has a Bible study on Wednesday. Are you forgetful?
I don't know. What is the question?
John, I'm happy to meet you. / Dr. Parker. Do we have an appointment?
I have to share this with someone, and I know, only you can appreciate this.
I got this from last week's bazaar. A bottle of scotch grain is seventy-five years old.
Yes. It's too expensive, but the story...
This woman's husband brought this from Scotland in the 60s, they kept it for special events.
Save it, and keep storing it... / And that special event never materialized.
Then the husband died a few months ago, now the wife sells her things and moves to Costa Rica.
But this is a surprise: We go home and get a message from Kitty and Ron.
Their baby is born. I'm grandfather.
Congratulations, Gil. Very good.
Special event? / Yes, right.
For my grandson./ You're welcome.
Yes, my goodness!
That... / Terrible.
I don't know if I have felt like that.
Only to show that no is eternal. Even whiskey can be damaged.
Who would have guessed?
A grandson, John.
On the one hand, it's very relief. On the other hand, that means...
I'm very old.
Every day, as he grows, learns to walk, learn to talk...
means that one day I'm getting closer to life.
Drink again?
Fuck.
Jesus!
It feels horrifying.
I'm not necessarily sentimental. This is life.
This awakens me.
Have you ever regretted not having children, John?
Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your business.
No need to apologize. This is difficult to discuss.
What is not difficult?
Do you want to drink real drinks?
Cannot. I have to go home and make dinner for Carolyn.
But, congratulations, Dr. Parker. I'm happy for you.
Unlocked.
For Carolyn? Just put it on the coffee table.
So, about the books...
It's in the reading room. Take everything you want.
Have you thought about the dinner again? You can invite Professor Kittriss, of course
We'll see later.
Thanks, Professor.
Please pass on to Ms. Kittriss goodnight from me.
It smells good. / Thanks.
It is increasingly difficult to find ingredients that do not contain mercury, or produce which grows in dirty water.
Thank God we still have Tart Tart. / Miracles are all around us.
What about your day? / As usual. This is special.
I want to go hunting this weekend. I started to forget the taste of real food.
I thought you would accompany me to Hillary and Rob.
Hillary feels bad lately, and I think the party can make her cheerful.
Being a party host always makes him depressed.
You know... Many people. Laugh, have fun.
I don't know. I feel the need time to be alone.
You are indeed the king "alone", John. Why don't I try the opposite? I've done it.
Not very successful for me.
Good. I know.
I want to change clothes.
Gosh, you surprised me. / Sorry.
You don't miss anything. Typical party Delta Psi. Crammed into one room, and sprayed with beer.
That is figurative, I hope? / Most of it. What is that?
An ancient human book that I borrowed from Professor Young. What was the result?
I ask again about dinner. I said he could invite Professor Kittriss.
For what? We don't need other girls.
By the way, this Jenkins is an archeologist who has a lot of experience working in the field.
The book is very good. But the volume is still smooth, even though it was signed personally.
She's sweet. Or look first.
"To my best friend John Oldman." Wait, what?
I know. Maybe he joked. "Old man" (old man) is the opposite of "young"?
dated May 2007. So, the age of Professor Young was around thirty-three.
Right. Old man won't be called "old man". Usually young people are called so. Like a big man called "little one"
But this is not "old man", but "Oldman" ./ And maybe this book belongs to Kittriss.
So who is Jenkins? / Let's find it on the internet.
Let's see Arthur M. Jenkins.
Teaching at Santa Clarita University. Zillion archaeological excavations.
Academic award. Blah, blah, blah... He wrote several other books...
But this last book...
What?
"The Longest Night: My Conversation with the Man From Earth"...
about the night he was with a professor a university named John Oldman who claimed to be 14,000 years old.
His comments... Sharp but smoothly conveyed.
"Longest Night might seem science fiction melodramatic nonsense, but the author present this lie as non-fiction...
thereby ignoring the academic authority _ he once had."
Well, this is again: "Offending religion and non-religion is the same as...
Jenkins asks us to believe that Saviors are Buddhists who live among us...
under the guise of a handsome and polite professor. "
Sounds like Professor Young. He knows all about Buddhism.
Yes, but savior? Like, Jesus?
He can be my personal Jesus.
We are really affected this book.
Like a thief at night.
Sorry, woke you up. I definitely are no longer trained.
Trained dodging?
Trained quietly.
Should you go? We can spend this weekend in bed.
Then visit Hillary and Rob./ Fair rewards, right?
I can go crazy, Carolyn.
I don't like you disappearing. / I know. It's just that there's something...
something goes wrong. I can't recover as before.
It's called "aging."
But if you insist on wandering in a forest like a caveman...
I think it's a better thing to do in times of crisis midlife than...
buying motorbikes and convoys with several students. Yes, right?
So, it's best to return the money to buy the Ducati motorbike.
See you later.
Hey./ Enter it.
Hey, Liko.
You want to eat? / No, thanks, ma'am, we're not hungry.re good.
Yes, I want to eat, Mrs. Nichols./ Yes, me too!
They joke. Thanks, ma'am. Can you stop it?
He is very kind.
Good. So, what's the matter? / Can we...?
I want it with pickles and mustard.
We aren't hungry.
So what's up?
For ten years, this person, Arthur M. Jenkins...
teach at Santa Clarita University with history professor named John Oldman.
one night, Oldman gathered friends of his professor and told that he was 14,000 years old.
He was born as a caveman, somehow became immortal. He knows Columbus, Vincent Van Gogh, all these crazy things.
He always uses the name John, often for last names.
Stay somewhere for ten years or more, until people begin to realize he doesn't age.
Hundreds of times changing identities, including , wait a minute...
Jesus of Nazareth. Wait, what?
He lives thousands of years, doesn't age and dies, around the world... / Learns about Buddha...
... until one day he traded in Jerusalem and began preaching.
Next, he was crucified, his wound recovered, he slipped away and...
we have Christianity. Coincidentally.
What do you mean, "then we have Christianity"? You can't come from...
That's science fiction, right? Many people write speculative fiction about Jesus.
Try reading the writings about Kirk and Spock. Better yet, don't.
But he said that was a true story. See? Written there, "non-fiction".
Then, this must be real.
There are lots of alien abduction books in the non-fiction section. / I've checked Arthur Jenkins.
Previously he was a professor of archeology, published many books. Not kidding.
Then this book came out and it became a laughing stock of the world.
No wonder. / But do the research.
Realizing that John Oldman whom he knew had never existed before 2001. Everywhere nobody mentioned it.
Certificate, SIM, NPWP. Everything turns out to be fake.
Jenkins even tracks two campuses where he has taught with two different names.
John Magdel and John Permian.
Magdel? Magdelanian? I don't know what the Permian is.
The first major extinction, 250 million years ago.
Both of them also have fake certificates, and leave suddenly after ten years.
And John Oldman's description, John Magdel and John Permian are almost identical.
Oldman driving permit records were lost two days after he left.
Search for him on Google, the only reference is just this book.
If Oldman is real, he eliminates his past every time he changes identity.
Makes sense. Millions of years old, avoiding from radar, you have to keep moving.
Philip, we don't mean to offend you. I am not offended.
I know. It's just that, you are very faithful.
Listen, I know the world is not flat, and it's more than six thousand years old.
But I believe Jesus lives and dies for our sins.
Philip... You know, millions of people don't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ.
I mean, Jews, Hindus, Wiccan, and many more.
Wiccans...
Yes, but that doesn't mean they are right.
Some people believe the Galactic Dictator Xenu takes their people to earth and hides them on the volcano, so...
In essence, the Jenkins book is just a fairy tale.
If I let my faith be shaken by fantasy professor who is angry...
... then I'm not a true Christian, right?
So Jenkins wrote about John Oldman. Good, whatever. So what is the impact for us?
Show him.
I found this book in the place of Professor Young.
Read the description.
"To my best friend John Oldman."
Professor Young and John Oldman know each other?
Yes.
What if... Professor Young is actually John Oldman.
Why do you immediately conclude like that? Is there a photo?
Jenkins talks about Oldman who several times quietly shy away from being photographed.
Reversing the body, behind someone, answering a cellphone that doesn't ring, whatever, in order to avoid camera shots.
Based on Jenkins' knowledge, the only John Oldman photo that exists...
taken in 2006 at barbecue.
THE ONLY PHOTO OF JOHN OLDMAN THAT IS KNOWN
Wait, if Professor Young is Jesus who returns, then we are in...
End Times.
But, if Jesus never leaves, then he is not "back". He just...
to be here.
Cool. I am hungry. Tara, do you want to eat?
What?
I got an email from Jenkins.
What do we get, Betsy?
Look at that. I think we got lunch.
Good.
Save this one.
And other pretty tomatoes. All right, Betsy. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
This is for me.
It smells good too.
I do that step.
Let us see, we move this soldier.
Yes, I see.
What is this?
... The Longest Night and its contents are amazing. Can you talk to me about John Oldman?
To Miss Chang...
Why are you and John Oldman...
doesn't go straight to hell?
Fuck!
Why do they always bother me?
Sorry. Sorry.
Hey, come here, don't run. Sorry. I don't mean to scare you.
I'm no longer sure about this. / This is your idea.
I know, but I work for Professor Kittress. Now I feel like a violator.
So, we just go home. / But I want to know.
So, we continue.
I hope Jenkins is more responsive. / I hope he is no longer fierce.
Good, do you want proof, or not? Photos, or other?
Good, then...
It's thrilling.
You're naughty too, Isabel. / Unlocked.
Breaking in. Crime makes it rather sexy.
He really has Van Gogh paintings. / Fake. The price is definitely around three billion dollars.
Electric shock weapon? What is this for?
Don't touch it.
Gurar...
I want to be objective, but I really want to believe this because...
this will be really, really cool.
Let's split up. / I'm in the bedroom.
There is a basement.
Come on.
Oooh. Ms. Kittriss.
CONTINUING EUROPE
Kittriss is home.
Liko. Liko.
Yes, wait a minute.
We have to go.
Now.
Ayo./ Yes, I came.
There is a back door. / Good.
Come on. Come on.
My cousin Janet is an art historian at Columbia. He said the painting could have been made by Van Gogh who was not registered.
We check the authors of books from the basement.
Their history before publication is unclear, or none at all.
Some publishers have gone bankrupt, but I found three publishers. None of them have contract information with the author.
Each writer disappears without an address moving after several years of publication.
"Jonathan Evermore"? He is the author of the novel science fiction "Everlasting Tomorrow,"
about "eternal search for the meaning of from his single existence."
So I contacted Bantam and claimed that as his granddaughter, asked the royalties.
He said he was very happy I called, because the royalties had accumulated since 1966.
No, Stupid. We won't take the money.
Hard to believe. / We just let that much money?
Isn't it strange? Every time there are claiming to have incarnated,
they always claim Napoleon. Alexander the Great. Cleopatra.
Never claimed to be a slave who cleared Cleopatra's chamber pot. or potty craftsmen.
"John Oldman" says he knows Buddha. Sail with Columbus.
No, he didn't really sail with Columbus.
I read the book.
Come on, come in. Nice.
So... did you see Van Gogh's painting?
You start to believe a bit.
Just because it's 14,000 years old doesn't make him Jesus.
He could be a craftsman who made a nail cross.
Good, come on.
I'm Malcolm X in life my past. / Yes, sure.
Hello, Dr. Jenkins, if this is you. If is not, sorry, misplaced, whoever this is.
So, Dr. Jenkins, my name is Isabel Chang.
Sorry, calling at night, even though I have tried via email. So, this is the problem.
I'm sure my professional is John Oldman. His name is John Young, here at Chico.
Please contact me again if you can. I really want to talk to you.
I know you have been reviled a lot because of your book, and I just want you to know...
I trust you. There are different from John Young.
My number 530-555-0168. Thank you.
PROFESSOR JOHN YOUNG
I will...
Good, thank you. We will send the fax immediately.
Fax again? Gosh, what time is it now?
Hello? / Hello.
I called about your email. / Yes. Who is this?
This is Violet Collsen.
Sorry. Violet...? / Collsen. From Central Idaho College.
I've been retired for a long time, and my daughter works at the campus admissions department, like me first.
But there is something strange the other day. He works at home...
and walk past his desk right when your email appears.
I saw the picture and immediately knew him.
Do you know? / Yes, John Pleis.
He is an extraordinary man. An unforgettable type of person.
What do you remember from him? / He is the best professor of anthropology _ we have ever had.
He knows how to behave. We feel can reveal our secrets to him.
And he always has the best advice. / When did that happen?
Around 1957?
You remember it clearly? / Yes. He is also a very handsome man.
John Pleis?
P-l-e-i-s. Funny name, feels like it is stuck to the head.
I try to see what else can I found before calling you...
but nothing. He disappeared just like that. / Yes, he did that.
Thank you very much, Ms. Collsen. Is this your number if I have more questions?
Good. Thank you very much. See you later.
Pleis. Pleistocene? / Yes.
So, we have contacted sixty small campuses in fourteen states, and this is our second breakthrough.
Professor Young is someone else for lecturers in Idaho and...
Western Wyoming. John Mortem, archeology, 1979.
Hello?
Isabel Chang? / Yes.
This is Arthur Jenkins. You tried contact me. Yes, right.
Give me the photo. Clear new photos. Send by email, or send to this number.
I've sent photos that... / No, no.
Must be new, full face. Do that and we will see later. In addition, there are no that need to be discussed.
Thank you very much, Dr. Jenkins. I'm really grateful...
Professor. We know our arrival is too early, but...
This is the last class, you don't teach us again in the following semester. So we have a little farewell party.
I won't go anywhere. We know. But...
This. Cappuccino./ My weakness. thanks.
Quick, photos.
Wait, can it be repeated? / You know the rules.
Hurry up.
Good, college starts. Please sit. Turn off the cellphone. And thank you for the coffee.
Turn off the cellphone.
As expected ./ He did it on purpose.
I'm sure of that. He did not want to be photographed, so he confused the two photo shots.
I think after 14,000 years, he learned how to hide.
But nowadays, cameras are everywhere. He won't be able to hide again.
Whatever he has done in the past few years, changing the identity... is over. The time is up. Don't you understand?
What are your suggestions?
Maybe we should talk to him. Tell the truth.
What truth? / That we know who he is.
Based on the book of disgrace from the old madman who is lonely and some indirect evidence?
We are not crazy. There is something special about John.
We all know that since the first time heard him lecture. Yes, right?
Throughout history there have been prophets, visionaries. Men and women are touched by God.
Who says John Young is not one of them? Why is that impossible?
Obviously impossible.
I didn't say he was "a child of God".
But if he is 14,000 years old, he must be the person is smart. In history.
He must be heard. Followed ./ Worshiped? What do you want to say?
There will be... / New religion?
Or anything else, around him.
A correction for all the wrong people about Jesus for 2000 years.
If the story is true, then everything I believe in for half of my life is a lie.
Everything that has been trusted by millions of people throughout history, and is willing to die for it...
is nonsense. No.
Good. One photo is clear on the face Professor Young, that's it.
I'm not sure.
If this is John, it has changed.
I have to talk to him.
Maybe I need ten or eleven hours to get there.
Hey, Betsy, I'm going for a walk for a few hours, honey.
But I will tell Suzanne to examine you. Do not be naughty.
Looks disgusted. / I'm careless. Stupid mistake.
What's wrong? Worry about your graduation? Take it easy, your grades are good.
I don't know, that's not it. But, thank you.
Then what's wrong? Are there more specific, Tara?
I want to apologize yesterday. Problem photos and others. We will lose you.
It's okay. I will miss you too.
Maybe I didn't show it, but...
Most of my life is lonely.
Boys only care about... and girls hate me because of it.
Parents of my friends are always creepy and...
At some point you become the figure everyone thinks, or you just hide.
I don't want to hide, so... I'm sorry, I'm not...
It's okay.
You're fine.
What is that?
No. No.
You know you want me.
Stop it.
You watched me for two years. Don't deny that. - You're my student.
It's okay. You are safe with me.
I know who you are. I think it's amazing.
I don't know what you know about me, but you have to get out of my office.
Good, I'll make it easy for you.
Don't let me call a security guard. And what do you say to them? I do sexual harassment.
Tara, this doesn't happen.
I'm sorry. / It's fine.
You can't.
The spring semester starts in three weeks and you have two segments that have been filled.
I'm sorry. / Sorry?
I can ask a substitute. I can't replace you, John, you know that.
Students like you. Your classes are full in an hour. If you want to teach third segment, it will also be filled.
What happened? / Sudden matters and I have to go.
What? / It's a private matter.
I call Chandra, we can fix it... / No, Gill, please.
I just have to go.
Please don't do this to me.
I regret it, Gill. Truly.
Obviously I can't give you recommendations in this situation.
Wherever you go, I have to tell them the mess that you brought to me.
I understand.
Documents for this semester are complete? Graduation data, evaluation, everything?
Yes. Some of the last things I will solve today. - You go that fast?
I hope in the end no one is hurt.
I will handle it. But this is really unfortunate.
I hope to leave my position to you in the next five-six years.
I will feel honored accept it.
What are you thinking about? / I don't know! I just... you know.
He said what else? / Nothing.
But...
What? What else?
I guess I leaked it a little. / What leak?
That we know about him.
What do you say exactly?
What is important? If he knows that we know...
Then he will disappear for good.
Damn, Jenkins headed here. He is on a trip. Do you call him?
Voice message.
Hey, Dr. Jenkins. This is Isabel Chang.
Professor Young might realize we know and he will be here soon.
Please tell what time you are here. What should we do?
Good.
Let's look for friends. This will be fine.
As expected. / Carolyn, please...
What, keep calm? Do not be emotional? Why not?
I just beg you... / Let you slip away, without any fuss.
I leave money for you, of course. I don't want you to be... / I don't need your money, John.
I have a job.
I need you.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand why you left. The explanation is not an answer for me.
I told you from the start, I will move someday.
Yes, but it's a common thing that people say, like....
"I hate dogs", "I never married", "I don't want to have children".
People always say that, and guess what, five years later they get married, have children. And dog.
Not me.
It seems not.
Gosh, John...)
How can a man who is so passionate be so cold?
What does this mean for you?
I told you my feelings.
I don't mean that I don't care about you.
Only with that can I get rid of from you, right?
Never mind.
I'll be back in a few days. I assume you've left at that time. Yes.
Merry Christmas, John.
Thank you for everything.
Hold him there./ How do you do it.
I don't know. Anyway, hold it up. My journey is still two hours away.
Can't get here faster?
Cannot.
I can only hurry.
But don't tell him I'm coming. That only accelerates his departure.
Good. Try your best ./ Yes, I'll try.
Hold him there? How? / We know where they live.
Do you want to talk to him again? Do you think it's the best action for now?
What choices do we have? If we don't meet him now, we won't ever see him again.
Come on.
Hello.
Please don't leave. Stay overnight again. Dinner with us.
We just want to talk. / For the good of we are together, I'd better go now.
Please, Professor. I want to ask a lot. I am sure, my successor is also knowledgeable.
You know that's not what we mean.
I don't know what you want from me. / Nothing we want from you.
I want to learn from you. / This looks more like stalking.
We read the book.
Don't deny you John Oldman.
I understand.
Sorry. This is fiction.
Yes, I know Art Jenkins. And yes, we gather at my office, do the game.
Games. A group of educated play intellectual puzzles.
It might end up being too much.
Art gets angry, and I think this is the response.
What I know, his life has not gone smoothly since the publication.
Early retirement. Academic laughing matter.
It can happen if you publish a novel science fiction as a fact.
You mean all of this is a lie. Jenkins is just making it up.
I mean, just because you wrote a book 'non-fiction' doesn't mean making it real.
You're safe with us.
We respect you and want to help you spread the word.
What word? / Word...
from God.
Do you think I intend to spread the word God? / No?
I'm a teacher, not a preacher.
Jesus is also a teacher. His last word, "Go all over the world and teach to all nations." You say that yourself.
Maybe in the lecture room. I teach about the Bible.
You are the incarnation of Jesus Christ. You are him. Forever.
Is that the word I'm looking for? Crazy.
I am not even a Christian.
Are you Jesus or not?
Whatever you are looking for, whatever you think I can tell...
You have to look for it elsewhere.
Alright, Professor. Enjoy life.
Healthy, long life.
Oh, shit.
What are you doing? / I just tried to hold it back.
You killed him? / No. I shocked him. His head hit.
Is he still breathing?
How?
Yes, still alive. / You're crazy.
We have to call an ambulance. / Wait, wait a minute.
Do you want to make sure he dies? Want to be an eternal human killer?
(Hello?)
If the Jenkins story is true... / Then he has experienced a lot worse.
You're crazy. We have to take him to the doctor.
Hello?
What did you take? / Sorry, I can't hear you.
Art. Art Jenkins./ Dr. Jenkins. What is wrong?
My car broke down. Basic wreckage.
I'm on the roadside. You don't let John go, right? Please, say no.
He is still here. Where are you?
I don't know. Red Bluff. / It's about an hour away.
The car broke down in Red Bluff. Where is that?
Can you say where you are exactly? / At the location of the 99 and 5 lane meetings.
There is a hotel, and lots of mud.
Can't he contact a taxi? / You go. I guard here.
Good, Dr. Jenkins. We will pick you up. We are on the way. We call again if it's close.
Good. thanks.
Fucker!
Good, is there anything else I have to do? How long will you arrive here? Good.
Yes.
Good. We will meet soon. Thank you.
You go. Ambulance on the way. And bring that idiot with you.
Are you sure? / Yes. let me take care.
God, what will happen if he awakens? It will be very angry.
He forgives Judas.
Come on.
Philip.
You have to let me go.
Philip.
What am I here for?
You kidnapped me. Do you realize that?
We just want you to stay.
I want to go. So you made me faint and tied me to a chair.
Open the bond. I will go. You will never hear from me again.
Sorry, I can't.
You can. Just cut the rope and move away.
Do you want to drink something? / No.
Why do you do this?
Philip.
I want to know the truth. / Want to know the truth.
Which is the other? / They will be back soon.
So, is there a plan, or do you just improvise?
I will be tortured to open my mouth? I don't know where the bomb is hidden, there is no hidden treasure.
They only go to fetch Dr. Jenkins./ Art.
Art is an angry, angry man, he has no sincere intention on us.
He just wants to talk to you.
I was tied in a chair and Art wanted talk to me.
I'm worried about your safety. You have to break my ties.
Where are you worshiping, Philip?
Assume you worship in a place because you look...
Can you shut up? Please.
Isn't sitting quiet here much more bad? / Either. I just tried to think.
My Church Jubilee Christian Fellowship.
I've heard. You live there with your mother, right?
He also attends worship?
Yes.
He knows where you are now?
He is on retreat. What event?
Transformation Conference. That's about...
future preparation. Protect the church.
So he was very involved. You two.
Yes, he is mostly, because I'm busy with school.
You will be more involved after graduation, right?
I have a question. Will you answer?
I can.
I want... / You want to talk about Jesus.
Good.
You believe in the Bible as God's word, right?
Sure.
How can you be sure?
Growing up, my father is drunk.
He hit my mother, then we left home.
Some people accept us...
They take us to church, and that saves us, really.
We were baptized. Reborn.
Now you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Right, sir.
He wants you to do what now?
I don't know. Why don't you just tell me?
Who do you think I am? /
I don't know. Obviously, you're the best professor I've ever had.
Your biblical knowledge even exceeds Father Michaels, also all other religions.
Most of my teachers don't...
they won't...
acknowledge the main truth from the scriptures. They...
believe that religion and science cannot side by side, that is not true.
That is not the way you teach.
Means I'm a good teacher, right?
I met Isabel in the first year college. At that opening lecture from you.
He is the first person from us who is aware that there is something...
different from you.
From the way you speak.
You save the life of the officer cleanliness. / It's just CPR, you can too.
You talk to the girl not to commit suicide. - She just needs to be heard.
Yes, but there are other things that are weird. Like...
why don't you have a photo anywhere. There are no your history on the internet before you teach on campus.
I have reason to keep my privacy lately. Only that.
I mean, on the one hand...
what if God did send his children to earth to spread his words.
Maybe you are the way he did it. Let a human live thousands of years....
around the world, gathering all knowledge and wisdom,
and once you get it, he starts preaching.
What he says is truth, so that people immediately understand it.
This is like Christianity. Overcome the world in just a few hundred years.
That makes sense. / I want to believe that story.
I'm not sure. Because...
if you are Jesus, then...
means the Bible is just...
fiction.
I want to know the truth. I must. Can you tell the truth, please?
If I tell the truth, Philip, will I release me?
Yes, I think so.
Good, listen well. / Wait a minute...
Two thousand years ago I stood on the top of the hill of Galilee...
and say some basic spiritual truths that I have received over the years.
And when the Gospels are written, they call me Christ.
But frankly, things are getting farther and bigger and are very distorted from my direction.
Being fierce and frightening, then I leave.
I kept my head down since then...
and must be more frequent move places.
But lately there have been changes.
My face starts to wrinkle, gray hair. My disease does not recover as fast as usual.
Either there is something in the air, in water or food. Something in my blood or DNA...
or a time bomb ticking in my soul. I feel different.
Are you dying?
I don't know. Maybe. Maybe I just changed.
What is it?
If time is limited, now it is more important than before to move forward.
For you to spread as many words as you can.
I've been thinking about it a lot and I want to help.
There is so much pain and suffering.
In the New Testament it is said that I I will return, but actually I never left.
In the Book of Revelation it is said that Jesus will rule on earth with his followers for a thousand years.
Is there no other way to help people than to rule like a king?
But what about Appointment, when those who die in Christ will rise?
Why doesn't it bring them in bright now? Why curse them into darkness?
Because those who curse themselves into darkness. / That's cruel.
No. That is the destiny of those who are not saved, those who leave their faith.
Everyone can be saved. Can find peace and love.
Why not create Heaven on earth now? We can help do it.
But now I need your help.
What can I do? / When I release my ties.
OK.
What are your plans?
Step by step.
If you are a child of God, why can't untie yourself?
Son of Man. Do not have the power of miracles.
Good, you want a plan.
There are many paths to enlightenment, including being reborn as you already have you experience.
But there's the same valid path. / Nothing.
Written in Matthew 18: 3...
Jesus said to his students: "If you do not repent and become like a child, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
There are other approaches to enlightenment that have been practiced all the time throughout the world.
Why don't we enter into that experience and wisdom? / But does this other way involve the blood of the cleansing of Christ?
The road is no more important from the goal:
change of self that allows us empathize with others...
and bring Heaven to earth right now.
Rational humans have existed on earth for 200,000 years.
Yeah, right? The New Testament period is only a little from that period, Philip.
No. This is liberal theological nonsense.
You are a Methodist now? / I haven't explained...
Do you know? I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as my savior for the past ten years.
I think I know Jesus, and now I can, I make sure, you don't sound like him.
Which Bible translation do you read, whose version...
Isn't that tempting?
Very tempting. Desire for believes you are so strong.
But if the news of your existence spreads, if Isabel has her own way and people start worshiping you, the world will be destroyed.
I have no intention of creating religion.
You are good at brushing your tongue, Professor Young.
Because you are clearly not Jesus, you remind me of something in the Bible.
Something that has amazing persuasion power.
Something obsessed with changing the world, reverse Bible truths.
You are not Jesus Christ.
You're Anti-Christ.
Let me go, Philip, so that we can discuss rationally.
Sure. Releasing the Antichrist. What is wrong with it?
Why do you listen to your own narrative?
A minute ago you are ready to believe I am Jesus, now I am the Antichrist.
I'm not sure who you are.
Maybe you're just an ordinary person who is good at telling stories.
But storytellers claiming to be Jesus, and now you sound like a Big Fraud.
Do you know what the Antichrist is? The concept is not in the Bible.
This is a deflection created by superstitious monks by attracting parts that are not related at all.
The term "Anti-Christ" appears in John's letters...
but never refers to one person.
You know what I mean is something very evil in the Book of Revelation, whatever its name.
Good. What evil creature in the Revelation Book do you think is similar to me?
There are seven-headed Beasts who are wounded to death.
The wound miraculously recovers. You did that.
The Beast blasphemes God and heaven, just as like your theology about many paths.
In the end, all that is left on earth worship him, and it seems you have a similar plan.
666 which hasn't been revealed yet.
Do you have a tattoo?
Bullshit about Animals is just fantasy writing, nothing more than that.
You really don't believe the Bible, huh?
That's a book written by humans.
Whoever you are, you are a great enemy of the Bible, your message and message can have an impact on the Christian faith.
You're a threat. / I just don't want to be disturbed.
I don't trust you.
I never lied to you. / Hah.
I have an idea. Let's take a little to test faith.
For me or you? / Both of us.
I know what I'm up to.
Good. If I'm really Animals...
what do you think God will do to me?
Possibility of killing you. / Then, do it. Let's end this.
I don't fully say you Anti-Christ. Only possibility.
That's good news. If you don't kill me because I'm a Beast, there are times when you must let me go.
But there is still a possibility that you Jesus and I can't let you go before you are sure.
I told you I was Jesus. That doesn't prove anything.
Then stick me to make sure.
If I'm Jesus, I'll be safe. Or die and rise again.
Maybe you're just a manipulative storyteller, and I can be a killer. - That's true.
But still there are only two choices: Puncture me or release me.
So just, put this knife in your eyes or something else?
Why not stick on my right side?
Like Roman soldiers with the spear. / Yes.
So you want me to stab your right part as an act of faith.
I didn't say that.
But what if I want it / then you will...
Philip.
Professor?
Professor Young?
Yes, God. What...
Hi, you're contacting Philip. Sorry, now I can't lift my cellphone, but if you leave your name, number...
There are no answers.
Philip, what's wrong? Where are you? We are with Dr. Jenkins, it's very close. Contact me.
So, what's your problem with it?
Me? / Yes. What did he do to you?
Besides the fact that he destroyed my life ? That problem?
Don't be fierce.
What happened, Dr. Jenkins? / Do you read my book, Isabel?
You are all good friends, academic colleagues...
One night he told his story, then "just joking", and suddenly he disappeared.
I got angry. Feel betrayed. We all feel it.
And I left tonight, wanting to reveal that he was crazy like my initial estimate.
Then you become a scout.
I've been desperate to find it until I see your email.
But that doesn't explain how you changed from skepticism to trust.
I'm an archaeologist. Dig deep, look for the truth, but I...
can't find evidence to refute the fantastic story.
So, I published the book. And... / and alienated life.
It's very bad to be you.
Tara.
No, I agree.
I think the ambulance has come and gone. / The door is left open. There might be a note.
Contact the hospital. There can't be many hospitals in this city.
Professor Young's truck is missing. / Hello? There are people at home?
There are still no answers. Philip, what is it? Where are you?
Hello?
Look, there's blood. / Oh, no.
Damn.
Good. What's going on here?
I don't know. Philip said he had called ambulance. - You have to contact the police.
Wait, we don't know what happened. / That's why you have to call the police.
Philip might have done something stupid.
Don't touch it. call 911.
There are broken chairs and blood. We don't know what happened.
Two people and a car are gone.
We have to find Philip./ No, you have to contact p...
I'll do it.
Wait a minute. I don't want to be in trouble. No one wants. Let's think about this incident.
If the ambulance comes, then Professor Young is in the hospital.
No. Paramedics will stop bleeding here. There will be no blood scattered up the stairs.
We are not criminals. / No, you have no choice.
If the police come, we will be detained. Forget college and everything. Our life will end.
But where are they?
Do you think Professor Young killed Philip?
Impossible. / Maybe Philip who killed Professor Young.
That is impossible. Because the head must be dislodged. The blood here isn't enough.
That's a bit scary. / Maybe they just drive together.
After fighting with a knife? / Maybe the victim's ritual?
Well, Professor Young has left... Maybe he just left.
No, because Van Gogh's paintings are still above. It doesn't make sense to leave it after for years.
Listen. Tara, you'd better and Dr. Jenkins contact the hospital, maybe he is there.
I and Liko stay here, looking for how to fix this.
A good plan.
John?
Harry.
John.
Yes, God.
I accept your letter. Surprised to hear you. And a letter.
I'm far from technology lately.
A lot is drained, John./ I know.
How are you doing?
Still sick. I haven't been used to injury for a long time.
This is only six weeks.
I've experienced more severe ones, usually recover within a few days.
This is different, Harry. / Why is that?
I don't know. But hopefully I find immediately the cause.
I like the beard. Reminds me of the Schauzer I've ever had.
No, just me.
OK.
So you live here? / Yes.
For how long? / .
I think I found a name for myself , Harry. A classification.
'Human Holocene' ./ Your age is a little miss.
A new Holocene was there 12,000 years ago. Whereas you... / I know.
I watched the ice melt, see the birth of the age.
Yes, the scientific community begins to unite around the idea that Holocene is over.
Now we live in the Anthropocene era.
The impact of human activity on the earth is so severe that it changes it permanently,
create a completely new age.
That can explain one or two things related to my condition.
End of an Era.
Oh, John. Do not talk like that.
Everything will end. Apparently, no one lives forever.
What's wrong?
John, I'm not here for any reason except to ask you.
But, because it's here, and we've talked, I can ask for your help.
This is about my father. He has been ill for a long time. And now...
Will you go home with me? Only temporary?
I think he really wants to see you. I will check my schedule. But, I don't think there are any activities. Come on.
Dr. Jenkins? Angelo Garcetti, FBI.
The FBI? Can I help you with something?
I hope we can talk about John Young, aka John Oldman, aka John Magdel.
Yes, I know who you mean.
I don't know where it is, if it's what I want you to know. I know. If you know, I will know where he is.
Is that so?
Do you think he kidnapped Philip Nichols? / I hope not. Unimaginable he hurt a child.
Do you have reason to believe that he is capable of violence?
He hunts large animals with arrows, and slaughter them with their own hands.
I don't know what he is capable of ./ I see.
You say he claims to be immortal? / Sometimes he confesses it, sometimes denying it.
Do you think it's correct? / I don't know anymore. Maybe he is just older than he looks.
You describe him as over six feet tall, thin, hairy and dark-eyed.
Interesting.
Why? What does that mean for you? / This is an unsolved case.
Crazy, the description matches the people who died a few years ago.
But witnesses continue to see it on location acts of violence. Sadistic, brutal and terrible.
Always changing names, changing places, but with the same description.
I'm not sure John will hurt people intentionally.
But obviously he is a forgery of identity that is good. / Maybe so.
But serial killers that change over and over identity and eternal... Do you think that such _ things can exist?
I think...
anything can be possible.
