May I join you?
[sheaths his dagger] Yes...How are you?
I'm worried.
Well, Mother, you should be. I spent 30 years searching for that place you brought me as a child--that...waterfall with that beautiful light. I've walked this island from end to end, not once coming close to finding it. But, then I began to think--what if the light underneath the island--what if I could get to it from someplace else? Figuring out how to reach it took a very long time.
The people with you, they saw this, too?
Yes, they have some very interesting ideas about what to do with it.
Do with it? You don't' have any idea wh--
I have no idea because you wouldn't tell me, Mother.
[Man In Black dislodges a stone, which allows light to filter in - Mother notices a large, wooden wheel leaning against the cavern wall]
What is that?
It's a wheel...We're going to make an opening...one much bigger than this one; and, then I'm going to attach that wheel to a system we're building. A system that channels the water and the light. And then I'm gonna turn it. And when I do...I'll finally be able to leave this place.
How do you know all this? How do you know it will work?
I'm special...Mother.
