Come back,

you f***ing b*tch!

God damn it!

[music fades]

[metal thudding]

[engines revving]

[both panting]

[engines revving in distance]

[synth music playing]

[man] Whoo!

[Prince] Come on, come on!

Come on!

Down there! Go get her!

Go get her!

Stop them!

[Ash] Over here!

Where the f*** are they?

[Warlord] F***!

Come back!

Come back!

Come back, you f***ing

robotic b*tch!

F***ing come back!

[ominous string music]

[insects trilling]

[electrical surging]

[electrical surging]

Why did you save me?

I don't know.

You're his robot, right?

Yes.

So, then why aren't

you listening to him?

Maybe I'm malfunctioning.

What is this place?

I think it's a church.

My mother told me

about places like this.

People would come here

when their souls need cleansing.

"Souls"?

What is souls?

Soul?

It's kind of hard to explain actually.

It's something inside you.

It makes you who you are.

All right.

There you go.

People used to come here

to try and talk to God.

Cleanse themselves

of their sins.

What is "sins"?

Sin? You'll s...

Bad things that we do

to each other.

Like what I did to you.

I don't want

to do it anymore.

I don't want to sin.

[string music playing]

Do you think

I have a soul?

Yeah.

Yeah, I believe you do.

But I'm not human.

One time, a traveler played

guitar for me in the Oasis.

I had never heard anything

like it before. It was...

It was... It was amazing.

It was like

from another world.

And I asked him, "So, how

do you play this music?"

And he told me his purpose on earth was

to reveal that the guitar had a soul.

Can you teach me

how to talk to God?

Yeah.

Let's get on our knees.

And, uh...

close your eyes.

Your head just...

He's going to help us.

[electrical surging]

[beeping]

Ash?

Ash!

Ash, are you okay?

Ash, get up!

Ash.

Ash!

- [insects trilling]

- [hawk screeching]

All right.

[synth music playing]

[engines revving]

[heavy breathing]

[distorted synth playing]

[music fades]

[seagulls cawing]

It's real.

It's real.

Ash.

Ash, it's real.

We made it.

Who are you?

Get on your knees!

[thud]

[string music playing]

[people laughing]

Boo!

Oh...

Did I scare you?

Who are you?

Where's Ash?

You wanna play

a little game? Yeah!

Boys like to play games,

don't they?

- No, I don't. I want...

- Shh.

So, here's the rules:

you ask a question,

and I ask a question.

Sounds like fun, no?

So...

Who are you?

I'm Prince.

Wait a minute. Seriously?

You're a prince?

I mean, wow!

I'm in the presence

of royalty!

- Who are you?

- Well, you know...

This is mi casa and I'm the

jefe, that's who I am.

This is the Temple

of Life, isn't it?

Oh, wow!

Oh, man. Wow!

Paradise Beach!

God, it's so f***ing pretty!

But unfortunately for you, young

man, this isn't paradise.

This...

This...

is Drug Town!

Mm!

Pretty one.

[grunting]

What do we got here?

Temple of Life,

I have to say,

that works,

it really does,

but, you know, this is

better than life, man!

I mean, there's

no pain here.

It's only bliss!

I mean, where else are you gonna find

that in this f***ed up world, right?

So, you're doing the whole tourist

thing of the wasteland or...

is there something else

you're after?

Well, I heard

you have cures.

Oh, yeah!

We have loads of cures.

A lot.

My mom, she's very sick.

She has the Red Fever.

That's a terrible,

terrible sickness.

Wow, I feel for you.

But that particular cure,

you know,

it's just a little hard

to come by these days.

So, you don't have it.

[laughing]

We do. Come on!

This is it, all right?

This is where you're gonna

get your medicine, Prince.

In here?

Well, look, I know

it's a little...

not much to look at, okay?

But we have everything

you need.

First.

You have to become

one of us!

What?

Hey.

You want the medicine

for your mother?

This is how

you're gonna get it.

- Why?

- Soon...

- Wait, wait! Wait, wait!

- ...your troubles

will be a thing of the past!

Okay, just hold on

one second because...

Are you in?

Welcome to my world.

[synth music playing]

Feel that medicine

flow through you.

Let it take over you, yeah.

Yeah, right?

It's so nice.

[laughing]

It's so great, right?

[laughing]

[labored breathing]

[music fades]

- [birds tweeting]

- [wind chimes jangling]

[indistinct singing]

Find out what's up

with you.

Uhh!

You are bleeding

like a monkey.

Mm! Yeah.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

[tool clangs]

Ahh!

All right.

Ahh!

- [tool clangs]

- Oh, yeah.

- [electrical buzzing]

- [groaning]

Ahh!

You feel that, huh?

Yeah?

Yeah, you do.

I'm just gonna look

at it right here.

[woman grunting]

- [electrical buzzing]

- Come on, baby.

- Yeah.

- Feel the pleasure.

Yeah, it magnifies everything,

that stuff burning

through your bloodstream,

and everything

is magnified!

Joy, love, lust.

Jealousy!

F***ing hate!

[laughing]

Hate of the wasteland!

[chains rattling]

[woman sighing]

Now the moment of truth.

[device surging]

Hello?

You register?

Where am I?

Don't worry.

You're in a safe space.

Yeah, um...

Sorry about that, that

stuff's hard to come by,

and you were bleeding

like a pig.

You saved me.

Well, yeah, yeah,

sort of.

Thank you.

Are you a prisoner?

I wouldn't call

myself that.

So, you can leave

whenever you want?

You wouldn't understand.

But if I had a choice,

I'd stay where I'm at.

The wasteland's full

of awful people.

I do understand.

That's how I got this.

[woman] What do you think?

This is all

I've ever wanted.

This...

more than

anything in Oasis.

Oasis?

What's that, sweetie?

Oasis?

It's alive.

My mother didn't

want me to leave.

She thought

it was perfect.

It's not a complete and total

mess like the rest of the world.

It's blissful.

Yeah, it sounds

pretty damn near perfect.

You see that?

Water here is dead.

We got nothing, we got nothing,

nothing, nothing inside of us.

You know, I'd love

to see a tree,

see a flower

in my lifetime.

I mean, it's sad, isn't it?

Isn't it so f***ing sad?

Why do you have to make me

so f***ing sad?

Here.

Try this.

Just go... [inhales]

Go ahh...

[laughing]

So, your

traveling companion, Ash?

She's the perfect

woman, right?

Incorruptible by time.

Not of flesh and bones,

but of something pure.

Yeah, God, I love that.

Purity, purity,

it's just...

It's what

I've been after.

Sweet dreams.

My son...

My prince...

Come home.

[thunderclap]

[thunderclap]

[music fades]

[alarm buzzing]

Oh, sh*t!

Get up! Get up!

- [synth music playing]

- [motorcycles inaudible]

[music fades]

[gasps]

You're just a sweet

little baby, aren't you?

My sweet, little baby.

What?

Oh, no, no, no.

Don't be sad.

Don't be sad.

Because I'm gonna

cherish you...

and I'm gonna bring out

the best in you.

And then... And...

And you're gonna bring out
