et nos comtua sepientia ducae!

Come on, where are you?

Oraculum sacrum veni et nos comtua sep...

Sepientia ducae.

(screaming)

(action music)

[Cleo] Go eat somebody else!

(grunting, growling)

(speaking foreign language)

(eerie music)

Hi.

Hi.

All gone!

(groaning)

(giggling)

I sure had you and your

boyfriend fooled, didn't I?

I thought he was gonna pop my head off!

He hurt me so bad, big bully.

Do you kill people with those?

I just dance with them.

(giggling)

Shoom, shoom!

(distorted singing)

(grunting)

(giggling)

Look!

Aren't I clever?

What can you trade me for it, a bullet,

you said you were out of bullets, I never

said that, it was a direct implication,

I thought you read my

face, you're an arrogant

bastard, don't you criticize

me, don't yell at me,

I'm not yelling at you, yes you are!

(giggling)

(mocked gunshot) That was

your last shot, wasn't it?

Would I still be standing here if it was?

You're a goner, you know.

You should pay attention to me,

you should listen to me when I talk to you

because if you choose this first path,

Cleo will eventually die.

Sol's a goners too.

I saw him with my daddy!

He told my daddy he killed me,

and oh boy, you wouldn't

believe what Daddy did!

Is your daddy nearby?

You should stay away from him.

Tell me where he is.

Mmmmm, no.

Tell me!

(dramatic sting)

(playful music)

(action music)

(grunting, incoherent noises)

Rawr!

(dramatic music)

Hello there!

I'm looking for my friend.

[Henry] Does he have a robotic arm

and an overdeveloped streak of arrogance?

He's your friend?

Yes...

Argh, ow, why can't people just

shake hands when they meet anymore?!

And you're next after him.

Hey, you know your daughter's

just over that ridge.

You don't know my daughter.

[Cleo] She showed her dancing to me.

Do you know about her dancing?

That way.

Your friend's right down here.

(grunting, robotic whirring)

Sol?

Sol?

[Sol] Cleo?

(dramatic music)

Where are we?

[Cleo] Oh, um, I got stabbed

in the ass with an arrow,

I'll be two minutes.

[Sol] Hey!

(knocking) Hello!

Why do you wanna go to Paradise?

[Cleo] Some Scout stole

something valuable from me.

It was my mother's.

It's all I have left of my family.

[Sol] Even I wouldn't try

and break into that place.

Is this thing worth dying for?

[Cleo] Is Catherine?

[Sol] That's different,

what I'm doing won't kill me.

Hey, do you think we're being followed?

[Cleo] Yeah, maybe, we're

pretty close to The King.

[Sol] Then why are we stopping to rest?

Won't The King's men attack us?

Or wait until I'm asleep and take you?

[Cleo] Take me?

No, no people stay out of cemeteries.

They're haunted you know.

Let's go back to your cave.

No, it's the only home I have

and you attract too much attention.

Oh don't apologize.

(laughing)

[Sol] My father was a reformer in Paradise.

So many people loved him.

He was a great man.

Catherine turned out to be a Nomad spy.

She and her friends,

they murdered my father.

I killed them all, except Catherine,

before I was caught and sent to prison.

I broke out to find her.

I'm sorry.

[Sol] I feel like I've been

chasing Catherine forever.

I'm tired.

What?

Do you think that we have to

keep being the way that we are forever?

I mean is this still

worth everything to you?

No.

[Cleo] I wanted to believe that

you were chasing Catherine for love.

I wondered what it would be like

to have a man like you chase me.

Some fantasy.

I've never known anyone to fall

in love like that, Senorita.

Sounds foolish.

Yeah, it does.

Thanks.

For the food.

You know, they aren't just good for you.

They're also beautiful.

Women love these, just in case

you ever feel like, I don't know,

indulging in anything foolish.

Maybe I am a fool, and I was just...

I've been thinking about

what The Oracle said.

You don't believe in her.

No, but you do.

Why is she interfering with you and me?

[Cleo] I don't know, she's tricky.

She's the closest to family I have,

but she plays with

people, it's a game to her.

She told me that phone call would

be my way into Paradise,

but I wasn't expecting you.

I don't know what she's up to exactly,

but there's always a catch.

Are you calling me a catch?

Maybe.

I don't wanna see my face on yours anymore.

You said they cure Sun

Disease in the West, right?

Mmmhm.

Well I was wondering if you would

take me there, and you could stay

with me after I kill Catherine.

You can't...

She's the last one.

I promise to stop killing after her.

You'd have to stop now if you

want me to go with you.

And you'd have to give up Paradise.

Yeah, is it worth it?

[Sol] I don't know, maybe.

I'll tell you that man at the well

had me convinced that his daughter

was the most important thing in the world.

And I destroyed it.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

I could give up Catherine

for you, I will, now.

Do you promise?

I do.

So when do we leave?

Tomorrow.

Not right now?

No, no, now would be terrible timing.

You think so?

Yeah, I do.

Wait, I can't.

It's not you, it's me.

(romantic music)

(action music)

(groaning)

(beeping)

Hello?

Hello, hello.

Didn't I ask you if

exactly this would happen?

You did, that's funny.

I think you have a misunderstanding

of humor, Senorita.

It's not working?

We should have stayed awake.

Think they knocked us out with

something when we fell asleep.

Uh, they're awake, do it again,

he wants them unconscious.

(beeping)

Hello?

Yes.

What's he saying?

Yes.

[Masked Guy] What's wrong?

It's The Witch Warrior.

Is it The Witch Warrior?

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Witch Warriors are The

King's head assassins.

I think they're actually

only one Warrior left.

That's good.

They'll probably take us to meet

The King and execute us there.

That's bad.

Wait, so here, not over at, uh...

[Masked Guy] What happened,

did he hang up on you?

Yeah, you know, I mean I've got

feelings too, I've got kids...

I know you do, I know you do.

It's really just, you

know, this is not well.

[Masked Guy] What is wrong with that guy?

I don't know, he wants us to wait here.

I thought he wanted us to go to the ocean.

No, no beach anymore, he

wants us to wait right here.

Wait a minute, was it supposed

to be the beach or the ocean?

Well both I guess.

It was the beach, which is at

the ocean, but now it's here.

Oh, okay, how come?

(thwip, thwip)

Are we dying?

Yes.

(laughing)

Well that was lucky.

(laughing)

Oh sh*t, that The Witch Warrior?

Yup, that'd be him.

Oh this can only go well.

(buzzing)

(grunting, laughing)

(sneezing)

God, that arm is brilliant, mate.

But you might think about keeping it clean.

This climate is Machiavellian.

What we wouldn't give for a flat

on the ocean with no

parasites and clean air.

We're paid to kill people in the desert,

but we're philosophically opposed to dirt.

Our charge in life is fantastically ironic.

See this?

If her heart stops

beating, we, and whoever's

nearby who just killed us explode.
