Cyborg

FIRST THERE WAS THE COLLAPSE

OF CIVILIZATION --

ANARCHY, GENOCIDE, STARVATION.

THEN WHEN IT SEEMED

THINGS COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE,

WE GOT THE PLAGUE,

THE LIVING DEATH,

QUICKLY CLOSING ITS FIST

OVER THE ENTIRE PLANET.

AND THEN WE HEARD THE RUMORS

THAT THE LAST SCIENTISTS

WERE WORKING ON A CURE

THAT WOULD END THE PLAGUE

AND RESTORE THE WORLD.

[ THUNDER ]

RESTORE IT? WHY?

I LIKE THE DEATH.

I LIKE THE MISERY!

I LIKE THIS WORLD!

AAH!

COME ON, PEARL,

IT'S CLEAR!

I THINK WE LOST FENDER

AND HIS PIRATES.

WE'VE GOT A CHANCE

TO REACH THE BRONX TOWNSHIP

AND HIRE A SLINGER.

GET GOING, PEARL!

I'LL TRY

TO HOLD THEM HERE.

FIND A SLINGER:

TO HELP YOU, PEARL...

NOW!

AAH!

AAH!

GET HER.

LET HER GO!

TO ATLANTA?

TO CURE THE PLAGUE

WITH THE INFORMATION

THAT SHE'S CARRYING.

I WANT TO OWN IT.

OWN THE CURE?

I'D BE A GOD.

BUT THE MISERY:

COULD BE STOPPED.

I LIKE THE MISERY.

THE WORLD COULD BE CHANGED.

I LIKE THIS WORLD.

GO TO HELL.

[ KICKS HEAD ]

BEEN THERE.

[ BLADE SLICING ]

UHH!

WOO! WOO!

WOO! WOO! WOO!

[ TRILLING AND YELPING ]

THANKS.

WAIT!

WHO ARE YOU?

WHY DID YOU HELP ME?

I THOUGHT IT WAS

SOMEBODY ELSE.

I CAN TRUST YOU.

FOR WHAT?

TO GET ME BACK:

TO ATLANTA.

THERE'S A GROUP

OF DOCTORS THERE,

THE LAST ONES.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON

A CURE FOR THE PLAGUE.

THEY NEED INFORMATION

I HAVE.

I SWEAR IT'S THE TRUTH.

WOO! WOO!

I'M A CYBORG.

THEY CREATED ME:

TO RETRIEVE DATA

FROM A COMPUTER SYSTEM

HERE IN THE CITY.

[ CLICK ]

STAY DOWN!

[ GUNSHOTS ]

THAT SLINGER:

CAN'T HELP YOU NOW.

I'LL TAKE YOU TO ATLANTA,

AND YOU'LL GIVE ME

THE CURE.

AND IF YOU DON'T,

I'LL GIVE YOU

THE HORROR SHOW.

[ HOWLING ]

Pearl:
GET ME BACK

TO ATLANTA.

THERE'S A GROUP

OF DOCTORS THERE,

THE LAST ONES.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON

A CURE FOR THE PLAGUE.

THEY NEED INFORMATION

I HAVE.

AAH!

[ SCREAMING ]

YOU THINK:

WE'RE GOING TO SWIM

ALL THE WAY TO ATLANTA?

I...CAN'T...SWIM,

A**HOLE!

I HATE THE WATER.

HEY, I CAUGHT

A NICE FISH HERE.

AAH! AAH!

YAAH!

AAH!

[ WOMEN CONTINUE SCREAMING ]

HOIST ANCHOR, MATES!

HA HA HA HA HA!

WE GOT US A SKIN JOB

TO TAKE TO ATLANTA!

UH!

SAY YOUR FINAL GOODBYES

TO YOUR DADDY,

AND LET'S BE ON OUR WAY.

I'M LOSING MONEY.

LET'S GO.

DON'T KNOW IF

I REALLY TRUST YOU.

DON'T OW IF THERE'S

REALLY ANY DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN SLINGERS

AND THE PIRATES:

THAT KILLED MY PA.

BUT I GUESS I AIN'T

GOT NO CHOICE.

YOU'RE THE ONLY GUIDE

THAT ANSWERED THE POSTING

FOR THE PAY.

JUST GET US:

OUT OF THE CITY.

IT'S WHAT I DO...

GET PEOPLE:

OUT OF THE CITY.

LET'S GO.

YOU'RE GOOD WITH THEM.

I LIKE THEM.

[ HONING KNIFE ]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

WE'LL BE SAFE HERE.

AAH!

[ CRYING AND SCREAMING ]

UM...

ARE YOU LOOKING:

FOR THAT WOMAN?

I HEARD:

THE PIRATES SAY:

SHE HAS A CURE:

FOR THE PLAGUE.

THEY'RE TAKING HER

TO ATLANTA.

ATLANTA.

PIRATES WANTED A BOAT.

ALL THIS:

FOR A STUPID BOAT.

WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?

I HID WHEN THEY CAME.

I SAW THEM SETTING OFF

DOWN THE WATERWAY

TO CHARLESTON.

I WAS JUST GETTING READY

TO TAKE OFF:

WHEN YOU SHOWED UP.

I FIGURED YOU:

FOR ONE OF THE PIRATES.

I'M GONE.

Woman:
SO ARE YOU GOING AFTER

THAT WOMAN WITH THE CURE

TO SAVE HER:

FROM THE PIRATES?

I'D LIKE TO HELP.

MY FAMILY DIED:

FROM THE PLAGUE.

SO DID MOST EVERYBODY

ELSE I'VE KNOWN.

SO AS SOON AS I HEARD

THE PIRATES:

TA ABOUT THIS WOMAN,

I KNEW I HAD TO DO

SOMETHING TO HELP.

KEEP MOVING.

YOU DON'T WANT MY HELP?

NO.

YOU THINK YOU CAN

RESCUE HER BY YOURSELF?

IT'S NOT MY BUSINESS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TRY

TO SAVE THIS WOMAN?

YOU DON'T CARE?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU

CARE ABOUT?

FENDER.

THERE'S A CURE

FOR THE PLAGUE,

AND YOU DON'T

GIVE A SH*T?

WHAT KIND OF JERK

ARE YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU

RESCUE HER?

MAYBE I WILL.

YOU KNOW, THE SHORTCUT

TO CHARLESTON'S A FREE ROAD.

YOU CAN'T STOP ME

FROM TRAVELING.

GOOD LUCK.

NOT TOO MUCH.

SO DO YOU THINK:

WE'LL FIND FENDER?

WE'LL GET HIM.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

I TRIED TO KILL YOU,

SO WHY DID YOU STAY WITH ME

WHILE I WAS KNOCKED OUT?

SORT OF GOES AGAINST

YOUR HARD-ASS STYLE.

IT'S BECAUSE

I FELT SORRY FOR YOU.

THE MAN HAS A HEART.

[ HAMMERING METAL ]

FENDER'S MAKING HIS WAY

DOWN THE INTRACOASTAL

WATERWAY TO CHARLESTON.

HE STOPPED FOR WOOD

AT HATTERAS YESTERDAY.

TORCHED A SETTLEMENT THERE.

I'LL CATCH UP WITH HIM

WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS

THE ROAD TO ATLANTA.

FOLKS GENERALLY:

MAKE IT A POINT:

TO STAY OUT OF:

FENDER'S PATH, GIBS,

NOT GO LOOKING:

TO KILL HIM.

I HEARD YOU'D

GIVEN IT UP...

FOUND SOME PEACE

IN THE COUNTRY.

THIS IS GOING TO

BE OUR HOME.

YOU SAID:

YOU WANTED CHANGE.

STAY WITH US?

JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

I WAS A FOOL, MASE --

STARTED TO BELIEVE

IN THE DREAM.

EVERYBODY'S GOT TO HAVE

A DREAM, GIBS,

A LITTLE HOPE.

LOOK AT OLD MASE.

GOT MY BAR, FAMILY.

HOW'S THAT FOR HOPE?

MAKE SURE:

YOU PUT YOUR KNIVES ON

FOR THE RIGHT REASON, SON.

WHAT IF YOU KILL FENDER?

WHAT THEN?

WHAT ABOUT:

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?

AAH!

SO THE CURE'S NOT

IMPORTANT, HUH?

I GOT YOUR BALL.

HA HA HA!

KNOCK IT OFF,

OR I'M GOING TO

BASH YOUR BRAINS OUT.

HEY...

I DON'T THINK

THIS IS YOURS.

HEY, KID.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

THIS IS THE WASTELAND.

WE CAN'T GO THROUGH HERE.

FENDER HAS A BOAT.

WE'RE WALKING.

YOU WANT THE CURE.

I WANT FENDER.

SHORTCUT TO CHARLESTON,

MY ASS.

WE ARE LOST.

TYPICAL.

[ CRACK ]

YAAH!

[ CHAIN RATTLES ]

[ CRACK ]

AAH!

AAH!

[ SCREAMING ]

AAH!

AAH!

YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD.

DO YOU EVER:

GET USED TO IT?

USED TO WHAT?

THE KILLING.

I DIDN'T MAKE THIS WORLD.

YEAH, YOU ONLY

LIVE IN IT.

FENDER'S BOAT

WILL PASS HERE.

GOOD, THEN WE'RE STOPPING.

YOU'RE JUST A WALKING

WOUND, AREN'T YOU?

SORRY.

I LIKE SCARS, REALLY.

SO WHAT DID FENDER

DO TO YOU?

YOU KNOW,

IF YOU LET ME HELP YOU,

YOU CAN HELP ME.

NO.

YOU STILL DON'T THINK

THAT WOMAN:

IS WORTH SAVING?

I DON'T WANT TO

SEE YOU DIE.

I DON'T WANT TO

SEE YOU DIE, EITHER.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE

HERE IN THE MORNING

WHEN I WAKE UP, ARE YOU?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

IT'S OKAY.

WHAT IS IT?

FENDER.

[ SEA GULL CRIES ]

YOU WERE CHOSEN:

BECAUSE OF YOUR:

MATRIX ENGINEERING

BACKGROUND,

AND THE MAKEUP:

OF YOUR PERSONALITY.

YOU ARE THE PERFECT

CHOICE FOR THIS MISSION.

HOWEVER I THINK:

IT'S IMPORTANT

THAT YOU UNDERSTAND

THE RAMIFICATIONS

OF THE DECISION:

YOU'RE MAKING.

I WOULDN'T HAVE

VOLUNTEERED:

IF I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND

THE CONSEQUENCES.

AFTER THE OPERATION,

YOU WILL NEVER BE

THE SAME AGAIN, PEARL.

THE PLAGUE HAS:

DESTROYED SO MUCH.

WE'VE LOST

OUR HUMANITY.

WE'VE LOST OUR PURPOSE.

THERE'S NO MEANING

IN THIS WORLD.

I WANT TO CHANGE THAT.

Pearl:
I'LL BRING BACK

THE DATA YOU NEED.

I SWEAR IT.

GOOD LUCK, PEARL.

DON'T WORRY, PEARL.

I'LL GET YOU

TO NEW YORK AND BACK.

WE'LL DOCK ANDEACH

THE INLAND ROAD BY NOON.

FENDER'S BOAT.

STAND NEXT TO ME.

WHO ARE THEY?

TAKE 'EM OUT.

MOVE.

WAIT HERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO

STAY HERE.

I WANT YOU OUT OF MYAY

UNTIL I SEE:

WHAT'S GOING ON.

LOOK, I'M HERE TO MAKE

SURE THAT WOMAN LIVES,

AND I'M NOT GOING TO

LET YOU DO:

ANYTHING THAT COULD
