PUT THIS IN A SAFE
PLACE AND KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
TO FIGHT?
I WAS A SOLDIER.
WILL YOU TEACH ME?
I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
ALL RIGHT.
COME HERE.
I'LL TELL YOU THE SECRET
TO BEING A GOOD FIGHTER,
BUT YOU MUST PROMISE NEVER
TO MISUSE THIS KNOWLEDGE.
I PROMISE.
WHAT'S THE SECRET?
BEFORE YOU LEARN TO FIGHT, YOU
MUST FIRST LEARN TO MEDITATE.
MEDITATE?
YEAH.
FIRST, DRAW A TRIANGLE.
PUT YOUR HEAD HERE.
HANDS HERE.
PUT YOUR KNEES
ON YOUR ELBOWS.
AND THEN, RAISE YOUR TOES TO THE SUN.
WHEN YOU MASTER THAT,
I'LL TEACH YOU.
WHAT IS IT? SOUNDS LIKE
IT'S NEAR THE WINDMILL.
LOOK!
I BROUGHT YOU BREAKFAST.
YOU HAVE
A HEALTHY APPETITE.
YOU'RE TOO POLITE.
I EAT LIKE A PIG.
I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT.
YOU LIKE BEING
MYSTERIOUS, DON'T YOU?
BUT I KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU
THAN YOU THINK I DO.
USED TO BE A SOLDIER.
PROBABLY AN OFFICER
OF SOME RANK.
AND YOU'RE HERE IN THE VALLEY
FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
AND WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S OBVIOUSLY
NOT TO LEARN FARMING.
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 IT
JUST AFTER HE DIED.
IT'S PURE WATER?
AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF IT.
COMES OUT OF THE GROUND
THAT WAY.
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT
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 OUT
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
