The barn okay?

Yeah.

I'll see you at first light.

What is it about you?

You don't much care for my kind.

Well I try not to care

for a lot of things.

But for some reason I do.

I do too.

A bounty hunter with a heart.

You got me. What about you.

There's not much to tell.

Just been trying to

survive since the Drek Virus hit.

What'd you do before that?

It's complicated.

Usually is. Stillwell?

He was an accountant.

And your father.

That's right.

You know you're lucky to have him.

Most everyone else lost everything.

I lost plenty.

I used to believe

in everyone and everything.

I always saw the good

no matter the circumstances.

It's funny my father

still does. He believes

in the end good still

exists. He believes there

still good people here too.

And you don't?

What's your next move?

Get back on Anson's trail.

Why do you do this?

It's a job.

Hunting a man who left you to die sounds

more serious than just a job.

Well, see you around Union man.

You looking for something pretty mister?

I'm always looking for something pretty.

That's not why we're here. Show her.

Seen these two?

She doesn't know.

Now you boys can buy one

of our girls, or you can

head on down the road.

You can die in about forty five seconds,

and we'll kill everyone in here.

Or you can tell us what we wanna know.

They live about

twenty miles down the road.

Go ahead. Take a look.

Nice.

Yeah, she's vintage.

It was here

when we found the place.

You know it's...

well not exactly in the

condition it is now. I took

the liberty of making some

modifications. Thrusters.

Tracking wheels for almost any

terrain. I believe you saw the

solar fuel cell over there.

Well I told you

I'm a scavenger. You know.

And the extra parts come

from the barter trades.

Come on!

Well I guess I better

take you into town now.

Yes sir.

You're a good man, Stillwell

I don't suppose there's any way

we could talk you into sticking

around for a while.

Look, if you're in any kind of trouble.

No. No trouble at all.

Take care out there.

Hey Dresher. Get your man.

I always do.

Spirits?

Anything but Red Eye.

Figures. How about Kentucky?

Three gold prime.

Just pour the drink.

I'll also need vaccinations.

You expecting to get

the plague or something?

Actually I expect not to.

What happened to you?

What do you care?

Call it a curiosity.

Some men came in here

earlier, looking for some girl.

It was nothing.

What girl?

They were creeps. Wonder what they

want with Kyra and Stillwell anyway?

Forget it. Not our business.

These men, who were they?

Never seen them before.

They were wearing black sashes.

Like they were part of some gang.

This the guy?

No. But I wouldn't mind

having another go at those two.

You got a car?

Got a bike. Why?

I need a ride.

Hahahah. Forget it.

Stillwell.

You came back!

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Lemme take a look.

Listen to me. Listen. You're

gonna make it. You are.

You're a bad liar Dresher.

Two men. Anson's men.

I know.

No. No there's more

to this than you know. Kyra...

Where is she?

They took her. She has

to survive. She must survive.

She will.

You promise me.

You promise me.

I promise. Stay with me Stillwell,

stay with me.

Stillwell. You're a good man.

He's gone.

Relax. I'm no threat to you.

I saw you in town.

Who are you?

I'm a finisher.

There's a lot more going on here

that meets the eye Dresher.

How do you know my name?

I know everything about you. Please.

There's no easy way to say this.

I'll just come out with it. I

come from a different world,

and I do mean a different

world. Self aware technology.

Riding black holes. Where death

for me has no dominion. Let me

put it this way. There are

two worlds. Parallel.

Occupying the same space. One,

has unspeakable possibilities.

Unlimited resources.

Ruled by law. Clean air.

We haven't suffered the travesty.

The sh*t that's been wearing you down.

Our experiment has paid off.

What experiment?

Time travel.

Time travel?

Yeah. It's like riding a bucking Bronco.

It threw us and landed us here.

The time corresponded

with the Earth we knew,

but it wasn't the world we knew.

It was this world.

Before the virus spread.

Let me get this straight.

You're telling me that

you came here from some sort

of alternate universe?

And that this reality, right

here, it's not real?

Oh no it's real.

Through the looking glass

mirror image where we're

sitting right now, reality is a

by-product of free will. You try

something, and sometimes

the mistake are better than

what you're reaching for.

It gave us a warning about the

consequences of future actions.

That we didn't have to go through the

economic collapse. The war.

The Drek Virus.

I'm assuming

you're not out of your mind.

Why are you here now?

Like I said, I'm a finisher.

The sh*t is about to hit the

fan. Dire circumstances.

Stillwell's death has caused a tear.

Tear in what?

In the fabric of time and space.

Ah!

It's a simple device. It's how

I got here. The man you're

tracking, Anson. He knows

about this. He's made a

deal with certain parties to circumvent.

How the hell would he know about this?

Because he's from my world.

When the borders were

opened the doors got breached.

Game on. They offered Anson safe

passage back to home world,

in exchange for Stillwell and the girl.

I gotta get outta here.

I shouldn't even be talking to you.

Another unbalanced action

can cause a tear.

We took a big chance bringing Anson

and the Stillwells here.

Your world has become

a dumping ground for our

garbage. You have to find her,

alive or dead, and turn her over to me.

Why would I do that?

It's all about balance.

I can make it worth your while.

Nothing can make it worth my while.

Nothing.

Whaddya have to offer me?

Gold? I don't need it.

I told you I know everything about you.

You lie awake at night knowing

something's not right.

You feel abandoned, because you are.

Nothing is right because it's

not. You had a life in my world.

You had a family.

The hell are you talking about?

That's what I'm

offering you. Answers.

Try The Badlands.

There's nothing out there.

Oh there's something out there alright.

How do I find you?

You don't. I find you.

Kyra, good morning.

Been a long time. It's funny thinking

something so beautiful could

exist in a world this ugly.

Isn't it boys?

Go to hell.

I probably will. And

I have to say, I've missed

all the sweet things you say to me.

But you've always had a lot of

spirit. That's why it's always

been hard for me to believe that,

you're truly you're father's daughter.

Don't talk about my father that way.

You didn't have to kill him John.

Your father knew the risks.

If he had truly loved

you, he wouldn't have gotten involved.

So what now? Kill me too?

I'm not going to kill you Kyra.

You are my ticket home.

Oh I get it.

They made a deal with

you, didn't they? Well you can

forget it. I would rather die
