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.

BUT WAIT, I DIDN'T DO IT ALONE.

DON'T JUST STAND THERE, TOOEY.

LET'S GO GET THE MAN A DRINK. OH, YEAH.

ON YOUR MARK.

GET SET. GO.

SORRY.

- 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,

COME ON.

I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU.

I CAN TAKE A HUNDRED OF YOU.

OH, THERE YOU GO,

BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

OH, I'M NO GOOD.

YOU'LL NEVER MISS ME.

NOBODY WANTS A WORN-OU OLD SOLDIER ANYWAY.
