STAND UP.
- YOU USED TO BE FASTER.
- YOU USED TO HAVE MORE HAIR.
LOOK AT YOU.
WHAT A MESS!
WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT UNIFORM...
YOU USED TO BE
SO PROUD OF?
YOU'VE BEEN ROAMING
THE WASTELANDS,
BRAWLING WITH HALF-MEN,
NO DOUBT.
A MAN NEEDS
HIS EXERCISE.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.
I BELIEVE WE WERE HEADING
FOR THE SAME TAVERN.
LET'S GO
HAVE A DRINK.
- PEACEMAKER?
- YOU THINK I'M TOO OLD?
I CAN STILL TOSS FIVE
OF THE LIKES OF YOU.
I DIDN'T TEACH YOU
EVERY TRICK I KNOW.
TAUGHT ME ENOUGH
NOT TO ARGUE WITH YOU.
PEACEMAKER IS
A RESPECTABLE JOB.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT.
HOW LONG DO YOU INTEND TO
LIVE OUT IN THE WASTELANDS?
IT'S MY HOME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO REGEND AND
LAURIA WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
WE'VE ALL LOST FAMILIES
BECAUSE OF THE WAR.
YOU HAVE TO LET GO.
THE WASTELAND SUITS ME FINE.
SO WHERE'S MERIDIAN?
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
IT'S A SMALL SETTLEMEN TO THE EAST.
THEY'RE HAVING DISPUTES
OVER WATER RIGHTS.
WHY YOU? WHY NO SEND THE ENFORCERS?
BECAUSE THE COUNCIL DIDN'T DEEM
IT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE ENFORCERS.
AND I HAVE A PERSONAL
INTEREST IN MERIDIAN.
I'VE GIVEN UP TEACHING.
I DON'T WANT TO SHOW
PEOPLE TO FIGHT ANYMORE.
THE TIMES ARE CHANGING.
THERE ARE MORE IMPORTAN THINGS TO DO TODAY.
THOSE OF US WHO SURVIVED
THE WARS...
HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY
TO THOSE WHO DIDN'T.
MOM, LOOK!
WH-WHAT THE HELL'S THAT?
SPARE SOME WATER?
I'LL PAY.
NO NEED.
JUX.
GO GET SOME WATER, PLEASE.
YOU'RE NOT FROM MERIDIAN,
ARE YOU? NO, MA'AM.
YOU COME ABOUT THE WORK?
MAYBE.
EVER WORK ON
A PURIFICATION FARM BEFORE?
FARMING'S A LITTLE
OUT OF MY LINE, BUT...
STILL, WHEN I HAVE TO,
I CAN MANAGE.
WHAT I'M OFFERING
IS FOOD AND SHELTER.
FOOD SOUNDS GOOD.
COME ON IN.
MY NAME'S KASHA.
WHAT SHALL WE CALL YOU?
WHATEVER YOU LIKE.
I'M NOT PARTICULAR.
THIS IS TARK,
MY FOREMAN.
TOOEY AND OFF,
HIS HELPERS.
TOOEY WILL SHOW YOU TO YOUR QUARTERS
WHERE YOU CAN STORE YOUR BELONGINGS.
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT HERE.
TOOEY,
BACK TO WORK.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL KNOW
THE LAYOUT FROM THE START.
I'MHEAD DOG ON THIS FARM.
THAT WOMAN AND CHILD
ARE UNDER MY PROTECTION,
SO, UNLESS YOU WAN TO ANSWER TO ME,
DON'T GO MAKING TROUBLE
FOR US.
UNDERSTAND?
MM.
- WHAT ARE YOU BUILDIN'?
- A WIND RACER.
YOU'RE DOING
A DANDY JOB, FELLOWS.
STRAIGHT AHEAD NOW.
A LITTLE TO THE LEFT,
PLEASE, AND THANK YOU!
AND BREAK, LADS.
HELLO, CALI.
WHERE'D YOU GET THA DIRGE? DESIGNED IT MYSELF.
GOOD. WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER
TO WALK ON YOUR HANDS?
CALI.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.
A LETTER, ALL THE WAY
FROM THE CITY.
CAN I INVITE YOU
AND YOUR FRIENDS IN FOR LUNCH?
OH, ANOTHER TIME, PERHAPS.
MY MEDICAL EXPERTISE
IS IN NEED.
NOT A MOMENT TO LOSE!
COME ALONG, CHAPS.
- OFF WE GO.
- SEE YOU AT THE GATHERING TONIGHT.
STRAIGHT AHEAD, LADS.
THOSE WON'T GROW.
WHAT?
THOSE WON'T GROW.
WHY NOT?
YOU PLANTED THEM
UPSIDE DOWN.
TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.
THEY SHOULD BE
THIS FAR APART.
- YOUR MOTHER TEACH YOU THAT?
- NO, MY FATHER DID. BUT HE'S DEAD NOW.
IN THE WAR.
HE WAS A COMMANDER.
COMMANDER TERRAN.
- I KNEW HIM.
- YOU KNEW HIM?
HE WAS A GREAT MAN.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
JUX.
WELL, JUX,
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT:
YOU HELP ME
WITH MY FARM WORK,
I'LL HELP YOU BUILD
THAT WIND RACER.
DEAL.
TARK.
HITCH UP THE WAGON AND
ASK THE NEW MAN TO JOIN US.
WE'RE TAKING HIM ALONG?
I WOULDN'T TRUST HIM
HERE ALONE.
TOGETHER, WE ARE STRONG.
STRONG IN OUR COMMITMENT,
STRONG IN OUR PURPOSE.
WE MUST MAKE
THIS LAND LIVE AGAIN.
LET US NOT WEAKEN OURSELVES
BY LEAVING THE VALLEY,
AS SO MANY
HAVE ALREADY DONE.
HELP US TO BRAVE
THE SUMMER SANDSTORMS.
LET US HOLD STRONG AGAINST THE HEAT OF
THE WIND THAT CUTS THROUGH OUR VALLEY.
AND LET US HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO FIGHT EVEN THE VIOLENCE...
WHICH ARISES FROM
OUR VALLEY AS WELL.
- WELCOME, KASHA.
- MAY I SPEAK?
FOR YEARS NOW,
I'VE BEEN ADVISING YOU
TO HOLD ONTO YOUR LAND.
AT TIMES, IT HASN' SEEMED WORTH IT.
BUT TIMES ARE
ABOUT TO CHANGE.
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER
FROM THE COUNCIL OF THE ORDER.
A PEACEMAKER HAS BEEN
APPOINTED TO THIS SETTLEMENT!
THE DAYS OF FEAR ARE OVER.
NOW WE CAN FARM OUR LAND.
SEEMS I ARRIVED
JUST IN TIME FOR A SPEECH.
THAT'S DAMNIL.
IT'S JUST AS WELL
YOU'RE HERE, DAMNIL.
THE PEACEMAKER'S ARRIVAL IS MORE
SIGNIFICANT TO YOU THAN THE REST OF US.
AH, YES.
THE PEACEMAKER.
I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THA APPOINTMENT FOR SOME TIME.
NO ONE WOULD BE HAPPIER TO
SEE A PEACEMAKER THAN I WOULD.
I'M A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN.
THERE'S A LOT OF DANGEROUS LAND
BETWEEN HERE AND THE CITY.
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN TO A
PEACEMAKER ON THE ROAD THESE DAYS.
UNTIL HE ARRIVES,
I... AM THE AUTHORITY...
IN THIS VALLEY!
FIVE CENTS!
FIVE CENTS!
WHOA. HO.
HELLO, KASHA.
FATHER HAS YOUR PACKAGE.
THE VALVE.
COME ON, JUX.
LET'S PLAY!
HA, HA, HA, HA! COME ON! HEY. HEY.
COME ON, YOU OWE ME
A BEER. KNOCK IT OFF.
KNOCK IT OFF.
GUESS YOUR WEIGHT. STEP RIGH UP, I'LL GUESS YOUR WEIGHT.
HEY.
ISN'T THAT HER WAGON?
YEAH.
LET'S GO, THEN.
DON'T GO AWAY.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
IT HURT ME MUCH MORE
THAN IT HURTS YOU.
HOW'RE YA DOIN'? FINE. I
WAS BEGINNING TO WONDER...
IF WE'D GET IT BEFORE SUMMER. IT'S
THE LAST ONE. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT.
I DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGH WITHOUT A PUMP DURING A SANDSTORM.
WE'LL BE CAREFUL. COME ON,
JUX. LET'S GET A SWEET ROLL.
OH!
I THOUGHT SCUD RATS
ONLY CAME OUT AT NIGHT.
YOU'RE A BIG,
FAT, SLIMY PIG.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PROVOKE ME,
YOU'LL HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT.
YOUR MISTRESS IS A WHORE.
LET'S GET HIM! NO!
HOLD IT. HE'S MY MEAT.
GET HIM!
LEAVE HIM TO ME.
- TARK!
- JUX!
OW! OW!
DAMNIL'S GOING TO
PAY ME MORE FOR THIS.
DON'T SPEND IT TOO SOON.
CLEAN UP THIS MESS.
IT'S TIME WE FOUND OU WHO THIS MAN IS.
OH, MY GOD. I DIDN' THINK WE COULD TRUST HIM.
TERRAN HAD
A SWORD LIKE THAT.
HE MUST HAVE BEEN
AN OFFICER IN THE GUARD.
- PROBABLY STOLE IT.
- PERHAPS.
HE'S DANGEROUS, ANY WAY YOU
LOOK AT IT. I BETTER KILL HIM.
NO.
DON'T DO ANYTHING YET.
WE'LL PUT THIS IN A SAFE
PLACE AND KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
TO FIGHT?
I WAS A SOLDIER.
WILL YOU TEACH ME?
I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
ALL RIGHT.
COME HERE.
I'LL TELL YOU THE SECRE TO BEING A GOOD FIGHTER,
BUT YOU MUST PROMISE NEVER
TO MISUSE THIS KNOWLEDGE.
I PROMISE.
WHAT'S THE SECRET?
BEFORE YOU LEARN TO FIGHT, YOU
MUST FIRST LEARN TO MEDITATE.
MEDITATE?
YEAH.
FIRST, DRAW A TRIANGLE.
PUT YOUR HEAD HERE.
HANDS HERE.
PUT YOUR KNEES
ON YOUR ELBOWS.
AND THEN, RAISE YOUR TOES TO THE SUN.
WHEN YOU MASTER THAT,
I'LL TEACH YOU.
WHAT IS IT? SOUNDS LIKE
IT'S NEAR THE WINDMILL.
LOOK!
I BROUGHT YOU BREAKFAST.
YOU HAVE
A HEALTHY APPETITE.
YOU'RE TOO POLITE.
I EAT LIKE A PIG.
I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT.
YOU LIKE BEING
MYSTERIOUS, DON'T YOU?
BUT I KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU
THAN YOU THINK I DO.
USED TO BE A SOLDIER.
PROBABLY AN OFFICER
OF SOME RANK.
AND YOU'RE HERE IN THE VALLEY
FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
AND WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S OBVIOUSLY
NOT TO LEARN FARMING.
WELL, ALL THAT MATTERS IS
THAT YOU PROTECTED THE FARM.
SO I'M GONNA TRUST YOU
WITH ITS SECRET.
COME WITH ME.
WE'LL BE RUNNING
A PIPELINE DOWN HERE,
SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO KNOW
ABOUT THIS SOONER OR LATER.
IT'S A- TORCH.
MY HUSBAND SEARCHED
YEARS FOR THIS.
I FOUND I JUST AFTER HE DIED.
IT'S PURE WATER?
AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF IT.
COMES OUT OF THE GROUND
THAT WAY.
LET ME SHOW YOU WHA I'M GONNA DO WITH IT.
WILL YOU LIGHT THAT,
PLEASE?
I'M GONNA IRRIGATE
THIS ENTIRE VALLEY.
SEE, I'M GONNA BUILD AN AQUEDUCT,
WHICH WILL CUT STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.
FROM THERE, IT CAN BRANCH OU TO THE INDIVIDUAL FARMS.
EACH FARM WILL HAVE
ITS OWN SOURCE OF WATER.
THAT'S A REALLY-
WHO THOUGHT OF THIS?
I DID. IT'S A REALLY SIMPLE
- YOU DID?
ALL BY MYSELF.
HOW MANY PEOPLE
KNOW ABOUT THIS?
JUST YOU AND TARK.
YOU DO REALIZE THE HORDES
THAT ARE GONNA MIGRATE HERE.
YES. THERE'S GOING TO BE
A NEW CITY IN MERIDIAN.
AHH.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NEVER SEEN A GROWN MAN NAKED?
YOU'RE VERY COOL
FOR A MAN IN YOUR POSITION.
LET'S CUT OFF HIS BALLS
AND SLIT OPEN HIS GUT.
YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY
WITH SHARP OBJECTS.
STAND BACK.
GIVE HIM ROOM.
- VERY PLEASANT HERE.
- IT WAS.
YOU GOT A LOT OF GUTS.
OF COURSE, YOU REALIZE IF I WANTED
YOU KILLED, YOU'D BE DEAD BY NOW.
MAYBE.
I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.
I JUST WANT THE LAND.
MY WELLS ARE RUNNING DRY.
I NEED MORE WATER.
WELL, PERHAPS YOU SHOULD
USE IT MORE CONSERVATIVELY.
THAT'S FOR THE PEASANTS.
THERE'S MORE WATER HERE
THAN ANYONE REALIZES.
I KNOW IT'S HERE.
EVENTUALLY, I'LL FIND IT.
WHOEVER CONTROLS THE WATER
CONTROLS THE VALLEY.
I'D LIKE YOU
TO WORK FOR ME.
- WHY?
- YOU'RE AN IMPRESSIVE MAN.
WITH YOU ON MY SIDE, THE PEASANTS
LOSE HEART, GIVE UP THE FIGHT.
WHAT WOULD THEY DO?
WHERE WILL THEY GO?
WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
THEY'RE PIG HERDERS.
THEY SQUAT ANYWHERE.
THEIR KIND ALWAYS DOES.
OH, AND UH
- YOU'LL MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE.
THINK ABOUT IT.
DON'T THINK TOO LONG.
WORK WITH ME,
NOBODY GETS HURT.
TURN ME DOWN,
A LOT OF PEOPLE GET HURT.
OH, NO.
? THE YEAR OF THE SCUD
IN DOUBLE-OH-THREE?
? AND THEY ESCAPED
FROM THE WARS?
? YEAR OF THE SCUD
IN DOUBLE-OH-THREE?
? DOUBLE-OH-THREE
DOUBLE-OH-THREE?
? IT WAS THE YEAR OF THE SCUD
IN DOUBLE-OH-THREE?
YOU'RE UP LATE.
I WAS RESTLESS.
IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE
I FELT SAFE ON THE FARM.
SO, YOU FEEL SAFE NOW?
YES.
IT'S A RELIEF TO HAVE
THE MILL WORKING AGAIN.
DO YOU THINK
THE TUBING WILL HOLD?
YES.
BLADES AREN'T TOO TIGHT?
ARE YOU SURE...
THAT IT'S GONNA BE
ALL RIGHT?
DO YOU EVER WONDER WHAT PEOPLE WERE
LIKE BEFORE THE SANDSTORMS CAME?
NEVER LOST ANY SLEEP
OVER IT.
WHAT IS IT?
JUST AN OLD INJURY.
TURN OVER.
NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
TURN... OVER.
RELAX.
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
I WAS MARRIED TO
A SOLDIER ONCE, REMEMBER?
YOU PRETEND
YOU NEVER FEEL ANY PAIN.
YOU THINK YOU'RE...
INVULNERABLE.
JUST LIKE HIM.
YOUR HUSBAND'S DEAD.
I KNOW.
I BURIED HIM.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD, KASHA.
YOU'VE DONE WELL ON YOUR OWN.
ONLY BECAUSE
I'VE HAD TO.
SUN'S COMING UP.
WE BETTER GET BACK
TO THE FARM.
WE CAN REPAIR THE BLADES. DEPENDS
ON WHAT THEY DID TO THE PUMP.
OFF! GET OUT HERE!
WHAT? WHAT?
THEY DID THE JOB WELL.
HOPELESS!
- THERE'LL BE BLOOD
TO PAY FOR THIS.
- TARK.
- HUH?
HOW FAR AWAY IN DAMNIL'S
FARM? I DON'T KNOW.
FIVE MILES.
MAYBE FIVE AND A HALF.
YOU INTERESTED IN
A LITTLE EXERCISE TONIGHT?
YEAH.
WE'LL KILL THEM
- SCATTER THEIR BODIES OVER THE PLAIN.
WE'LL TAKE THE MILL-
LISTEN.
DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY. ALL WE
HAVE TO DO IS STEAL ONE VALVE.
RIGHT.
LET'S TRY TO DO I AS QUIETLY AS POSSIBLE.
COME ON.
LET'S GO.
YOU KNOW,
I REALLY LIKED HIM.
HE WAS NICE, BUT HE WAS
ONE OF THOSE MEN...
THAT LIKE TEARING
YOUR CLOTHES OFF. YEAH.
I TRIED TO TELL HIM, THIS COS ME THREE GALLONS TO GET THIS.
DID YOU CHARGE HIM EXTRA?
I JUST WANT TO GET DRUNK.
WELL, HE WAS VERY CUTE.
YEAH, HE SAYS
HE SAW A DOG...
ON THE PLAIN
BY KASHA'S FARM.
A DOG?
THERE'S NO WAY AROUND THEM, SO LET'S
TAKE THEM OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
IT ONLY TAKES A MOMEN TO BREAK A MAN'S NECK.
JUST DO IT QUIETLY.
YOU TAKE THE ONE ON THE LEFT.
PSST.
HEY.
WHAT?
WHOA. WHOA, THERE.
WHOA. WHOA.
WE'LL NEVER GET ACROSS
WITHOUT THEM SEEING US.
HURRY UP.
DISCONNECT THE VALVE.
I NEED TOOLS. I CAN'T TAKE
IT OUT WITHOUT BREAKING IT.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE
THE WHOLE PUMP.
FEEL STRONG? I CAN CARRY THE
WHOLE DAMN WINDMILL IF I HAVE TO.
I'M TIRED.
TIRED?
IT'S EARLY FOR YOU.
YOU GOT TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
SOME OF US HAD WORK TO DO.
WHO SAYS I GOT TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT?
OH YEAH?
WHAT KEPT YOU UP?
I'M NOT SAYING.
BUT I TELL YOU, OLD JENKIN
SHOULD BUY HIS DAUGHTER A NEW COT.
YOU NEVER TOUCHED
JENKIN'S DAUGHTER.
MORE LIKE IT WAS
ONE OF THE OLD MAN'S PIGS.
HARD TO TELL THE TWO APAR IN THE DARK. YOU SHOULD KNOW.
YOU BOYS HEAD OFF.
TAVERN'S CLOSED.
HYAH!
HYAH. HYAH.
HYAH! GET! COME ON.
COME ON.
LET'S GO.
WHOA.
YOU TOOK YOUR SWEET TIME
WITH THAT.
LOOK AT IT THIS WAY,
WE'RE HALF WAY HOME ALREADY.
WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?
IT WAS THAT STRANGER.
HE CUT THROUGH US
LIKE A SANDSTORM.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE
SO FAST.
WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM
WHEN HE WAS HAVING HIS BATH.
LET'S KILL HIM NOW.
IT'S OBVIOUS YOU CAN'T HANDLE
IT. WE NEED A PROFESSIONAL.
FIND SHO.
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS.
WHAT'VE YOU TWO
BEEN DOING ALL NIGHT?
WHERE DID YOU GET IT?
DAMNIL LENT IT TO US. TOOK I RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER HIS NOSE.
YOU STOLE
ONE OF DAMNIL'S PUMPS?
YES.
THAT'S GREAT.
- HOW DID YOU DO IT?
- JUST WALKED IN AND TOOK IT.
HE MUST BE FURIOUS.
THAT'S AMAZING.
THAT'S
- THAT'S GREAT. WAY TO GO.
BUT WAIT, I DIDN'T DO IT ALONE.
DON'T JUST STAND THERE, TOOEY.
LET'S GO GET THE MAN A DRINK. OH, YEAH.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
ON YOUR MARK.
GET SET. GO.
SORRY.
YOU GET THAT ONE.
YES.
- CAN I GET A SWEET ROLL?
- SURE, BUT DON'T GET LOST.
I WON'T.
TARK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
LET'S GO.
THERE YOU GO,
TELLING ME WHAT TO DO AGAIN.
YOU THINK YOU'RE BOSS?
I'M NOT TAKING ORDERS
FROM YOU ANYMORE.
I DON'T TAKE ORDERS
FROM NO ONE.
COME ON,
YOU PIG STICKER.
COME ON.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU.
I CAN TAKE A HUNDRED OF YOU.
OH, THERE YOU GO,
RUNNING AWAY.
I KNEW YOU WERE A COWARD.
YOU COME OUT OF NOWHERE
AND START RUINING EVERYTHING.
YOU MAKE HER THINK YOU'RE
BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
OH, I'M NO GOOD.
PROBABLY GONNA JUS GO OFF SOMEWHERE AND ROT.
YOU'LL NEVER MISS ME.
NOBODY WANTS A WORN-OU OLD SOLDIER ANYWAY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?
COME ON. LET'S GO HOME.
HERE.
I FEEL LIKE A RAT TURD.
YOU SMELL LIKE ONE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
OH, NOTHING, JUX.
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
LET'S TAKE HIM
BACK TO THE FARM.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
YOU'RE NOT SO DISGUSTING.
OH, YOU ACT TOUGH.
NO, NO.
YOU DON'T MAKE ME PUKE.
THANKS.
TAKE JUX HOME.
GO.
HEY. THAT'S HIM. THAT'S YOUR MAN.
I AM SHO.
- HAVEN'T WE MET BEFORE?
- NOT IN COMBAT.
YOU WEAR THE VES OF A GUARD.
I WAS A CAPTAIN OF THE ELITE.
BUT NOW YOU'RE AN ASSASSIN.
WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING.
WELL, IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO EARN IT.
YOU'RE VERY ANXIOUS TO DIE.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SWORD.
I DON'T NEED ONE.
PLEASE DON'T INSULT ME.
I WANT THIS TO BE SPORTING.
I DON'T SUPPOSE ANY OF THESE PEASANTS
HAVE A SWORD THEY CAN LEND YOU?
THEN WE WILL FIGH WITH STAVES.
YOU'RE VERY GOOD.
BUT I THINK A LITTLE
OUT OF PRACTICE.
WE WON'T KNOW THA TILL IT'S OVER.
JUX, RUN HOME.
STOP!
GRAB THE BOY.
FINISH HIM OFF.
SHUT UP!
IF YOU INTERFERE
WITH ME AGAIN,
I'LL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF.
THE CONTES ISN'T OVER...
YET.
LET'S GO.
TARK.
TARK!
TARK!
HOW COULD I LET THIS HAPPEN?
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
IF I HADN'T PUSHED DAMNIL, TARK WOULD
STILL BE ALIVE AND JUX WOULD BE HOME SAFE.
IT'S NOT YOU. IT'S ME.
I ATTRACT VIOLENCE.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
IT'S NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M GOING TO GET JUX.
NO. YOU'RE CRAZY.
YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION
TO FIGHT ANYBODY.
I'LL... GO TO DAMNIL.
I'LL TALK TO HIM.
I'LL REASON WITH HIM.
I KNOW THESE MEN, KASHA. THERE'S
ONLY ONE WAY TO REASON WITH THEM.
BUT WE CAN'T FIGHT THEM!
THEY HAVE MY SON.
THEY ONLY TOOK JUX...
BECAUSE THEY KNEW
I WOULD COME.
ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU MUST GO,
YOU'LL NEED YOUR SWORD BACK.
KASHA!
KASHA!
HE'LL BE HERE.
GOOD.
YOU'RE ANXIOUS
TO GET THIS OVER WITH?
I'M ANXIOUS
FOR DIFFERENT COMPANY.
YOU DON'T THINK MUCH
OF ME, DO YOU?
YOU FLATTER YOURSELF.
I DON'T THINK ANYTHING OF YOU.
YOU HIRED ME TO DO A JOB.
THAT'S WHERE
YOUR SIGNIFICANCE ENDS.
THE REST IS ME AND HIM.
COME ON.
LET'S GO.
MOM?
YOU'RE ALONE.
WHERE IS HE?
WHERE IS THE STRANGER?
HE'S GONE.
HE LEFT THE VALLEY.
YOU LIE!
HE WOULDN'T RUN.
WHY HAVE YOU TAKEN MY SON?
THIS WHOLE THING
HAS GONE TOO FAR.
LET'S PUT A STOP TO I NOW. TOO LATE TO STOP IT.
I CAN'T HAVE YOU
IN THE VALLEY ANYMORE.
LET MY SON GO AND WE'LL
LEAVE. TOO LATE FOR THAT TOO.
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE TO GO.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT?
SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
MURDER US BOTH
LIKE YOU MURDERED TARK?
NO.
WE'RE NOT GOING
TO MURDER ANYONE.
HE IS.
I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE
YOU WANT- WATER.
I'VE SEEN
YOUR PUNY LITTLE WELL.
I KNOW WHERE THERE'S
A FRESHWATER SPRING-
AN ENDLESS SUPPLY
OF UNCONTAMINATED WATER.
WHERE?
RELEASE MY SON
AND I'LL TELL YOU.
CUT THE BOY'S THROAT.
NO!
WHERE IS THE WATER?
IT'S ON MY PROPERTY.
WHERE?
THERE'S A TUNNEL
IN THE GARDEN LEADING TO IT.
NOW, PLEASE,
LET US GO.
PERHAPS.
WE'LL CHECK
THE WATER FIRST.
PLEASE.
AT LEAST LET MY SON LIVE. I'VE
NEVER SEEN YOU CRAWL BEFORE.
IT DOES MY HEART GOOD.
WELL, ENJOY IT, YOU BASTARD. IT MAY
BE THE LAST THING YOU EVER EXPERIENCE.
GET BACK!
TELL HIM
TO RELEASE MY SON.
YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY.
YOU BETTER HOPE I DO.
OTHERWISE, WE'LL SEE
THE INSIDE OF YOUR THROAT.
TELL THEM.
TELL THEM.
LET THE BOY GO.
RUN, JUX.
RUN TO TOWN.
DON'T STOP
AND DON'T LOOK BACK.
GO!
NOW IT'S OUR TURN.
NOBODY SETS A FOO OUTSIDE THIS TENT.
GET THE BOY!
LITTLE BITCH.
TIE HER UP.
YOU TAKE THAT ONE
AND HEAD HIM OFF.
COME ON.
AFTER HIM.
HURRY UP.
HE'S GETTING AWAY.
HE'S LOSING HER.
GET UP.
HEY, LET'S
GET THE JOB DONE.
COME HERE,
YOU LITTLE BASTARD.
- DOES DAMNIL WANT HIM DEAD OR ALIVE?
- DEAD'S EASY TO CARRY.
PICK HIM UP.
WE'D BETTER STOP HIM.
WHAT?
STOP HIM!
COME ON. LET'S GO.
COME ON.
COME ON.
COME ON.
COME ON.
COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON.
SHIT. SHIT!
I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY
WITH SHARP OBJECTS.
THEY'VE GOT MY MOM.
LET'S GO GET HER.
GOOD BOY.
GOOD BOY.
LET'S GO.
COME ON.
STAY HERE.
I'LL GET HER, JUX.
GET IT OVER
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T RUN.
THIS TIME
YOU BROUGHT A SWORD.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
LUCK.
THE SAME.
LANN, STOP THEM.
I WARNED YOU
NOT TO INTERFERE!
YOU'RE THE BEST COMPETITION
I'VE EVER HAD.
BUT NO ONE
IS BETTER THAN ME.
YOU TALK TOO MUCH.
GET HIM.
NOW!
- LEAVE HER.
- SHE EITHER LIVES OR DIES.
IT'S UP TO YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU
DROP YOUR SWORDS?
MOM.
MOM!
MY SWORDS.
YOU WERE A COMMANDER.
WHY?
WHY...
THE DRIED UP VALLEY
AND A HANDFUL OF PEASANTS?
YOU FORGET AN OLD MAN
IN A MOUNTAIN TAVERN.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
GOOD MORNING. MORNING. MORNING.
WE'VE COME ABOUT THE WORK. GOOD.
WE'RE GONNA BE LAYING PIPES.
BRING WATER TO THE WHOLE VALLEY.
COME WITH ME.
THIS IS TOOEY. HI. HI.
HE'S MY HELPER.
MY BROTHER COULDN'T COME TODAY.
WILL THERE STILL BE WORK TOMORROW?
SURE.
BRING HIM ALONG.
I JUST HOPE YOU GUYS
AREN'T SCARED OF WORK.
WE'RE GONNA BE
BUILDING OURSELVES A CITY.
JUST GO ON OVER THERE.
GONNA MISS OLD TARK
ON THIS JOB.
HE WAS GONNA GET ME
A COUPLE OF PIGS.
YEAH. HE SURE WOULD HAVE
BEEN PROUD, WOULDN'T HE?
YOU'RE LEAVING?
DAMNIL'S GONE. THERE'S NO MUCH MORE I CAN DO FOR YOU.
YOU'VE GOT YOUR FUTURE.
I DON'T BELONG HERE.
SOMEHOW...
I KNEW
YOU WOULDN'T STAY,
BUT I HOPED.
YOU ARE...
THE STRONGEST PERSON
I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
BUILD A GOOD CITY.
WAIT!
WAIT.
I'M COMING WITH YOU.
YOU HAVE TO TEACH ME
TO BE A SOLDIER.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
A SOLDIER.
I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU
AND MY DAD.
NO. NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU WANT TO BE LIKE JUX.
YOU HELP YOUR MOTHER.
MAKE THIS VALLEY GREEN.
WILL YOU COME BACK?
WHEN IT'S TIME,
I'LL BE THERE.
DEAL?
DEAL.
NOW, YOU HURRY BACK.
YOU'VE GO A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
