In the middle
of the 21st century,
Mother Nature finally unleashed
her fury in a cataclysmic event
known as the Cloud Fall.
Ice caps melted so
quickly that entire cities
Once the rains began, it was
flooding on a biblical scale.
It destroyed almost
the entire planet.
Pockets of respite
on high ground
allowed those few who
survived to start again.
Cloud Fall, two things
essential for survival that had
long are now rare commodities--
Air and water.
In this new barter economy,
there were two currencies--
Water tabs to purify poisonous
rainwater and pure, powdered
silver, an essential
component in air filters
that can delay eventual
death, like black lung.
New and rudimentary
authorities began to keep
people safe as possible.
Vehicles that burned
fossil fuels, or belchers,
were illegal.
Those that drove them
were guilty of the most
heinous crime possible.
The new authority offered
rewards to bring these outlaws
to justice and bounty
hunters roamed the wasteland
looking to claim those rewards.
Ah!
No!
What are you doing?
I can't survive out
here without-- ugh, ugh.
Sometimes I
think you don't even like me.
She's picking me up and dragging
my ass across the wilderness
Seriously, what the f*ck
is up with a coffin?
Whoa, Womack, when did
you get so sensitive?
Oh.
OK, OK, just take me in.
Just take me in.
I've had it.
Just take me in.
Come on.
Chavo, where's Chavo?
East, east, they're on the east.
She got wind of some
pilgrims down by the docks.
See you next time.
No.
There's no next time, Gage.
That is the point.
Hey, where are you going?
Aw, look at that.
It stopped raining.
Drinking water?
That's it?
But I helped you.
Gage, I'm going to die out here.
Looks like you're
going to need it.
There's a burner on the way.
But I helped you!
I helped you, Gage!
Where are you going?
I'm going to die out here.
Gage!
Suck wind and die, Gage.
Damn it.
Look at you.
Who have we got here?
Aw.
Look at how pretty you are.
Sh.
Look, we have an advance permit,
issued by the
territorial authority,
guaranteeing us safe passage.
We are on a pilgrimage.
And if we don't make
our destination,
a bounty will be
issued for your head.
Oh I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
I feel stupid.
Forgive me.
Well, I bid you all a good day
and wish you a safe journey.
Thing is, if you all
disappear without a trace,
how they going to know
who to put that bounty on?
There's no authority out here.
Now if the rest
of you cooperate,
you just might live
to see another day.
And you-- what's this?
Silver.
Well, that's an
unexpected surprise.
I'm going to grind
this up and put it
in my own personal air filter.
And I'm going to think
of you every time
I suck a fresh breath.
Get the usual--
Filters, water, tabs.
dollar for able bodies.
Hey, who's out there?
Hey, Chavo.
God damn it.
Go to hell, Gage.
I will, I promise.
There's two ways
we could do this.
That's one of them.
Hey, hey-- she's over there.
Go around.
Go!
Where the hell are you going?
Oh, big mistake.
Nobody runs out on
you, right, Chavo?
Look, scumbag, I'm just trying
to get by like everybody else.
Thing is, you've been
a really bag girl, Chavo,
and that makes you very
attractive to a scumbag
like me.
Listen, I'll let them all go
if you give me a walk, Gage.
Nothing compared to
what I could get for you.
You know that.
I'll blow her head off, and then
I'll kill the rest of them.
