for the dust we are.

And to the dust

we shall return.

Stop!

Please.

Redridge!

Redridge.

- And who are you?

- Nobody.

Oh, I doubt that.

The men you

killed in my bar.

They were nobody.

- But you now...

- He ain't got the shakes.

He ain't one of them.

Good. This is a

civilized town.

We don't eat humans.

We don't see too many

people from before.

Not anymore.

- Do you read?

- Every day.

How good for you.

Me too.

You know whats funny?

As old as we are,

people like you and me,

we're the future.

What do you

want with me?

Straight to the point.

I like that.

You're not just educated.

I never saw anyone handle

themselves the way you did

I dont know where

you learned it,

but I sure as hell

could use it.

It's a little town,

just the beginning.

Im about to expand,

I need expert help,

I could use

someone like you.

Thank you. But I'm

really not interested.

People who work for

me live better than

any worker dreamed.

Ask Redrige, here.

Ask the boys, anyone.

Real beds, hot food,

women.

Clean water.

You could do a lot

worse, my friend.

Thank you.

But I got somewhere

I need to be.

Where?

West.

There is nothing west.

I've been told

different.

By who?

Tell you what.

Stay the night.

Try a little of

our hospitality,

see how you like it.

We'll talk again

in the morning.

Word of advice, Walker.

It's not a choice.

There's always

a choice.

There'll be someone

outside your room all night.

- If you need anything.

- I dont need anything.

You never know.

This is for you. It's

water for washing

and some food, some

special dessert too,

compliments

of the house.

I need you to take

this or say something,

so I can find you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Can I get you

anything else?

No, I'm fine,

thank you.

You get blinded

in the war?

I was born this way.

I think probably I'm

lucky because I was

already used to being

like this by the time

it happened.

Well, thank you,

for the food.

You're welcome.

I like your perfume.

It's just shampoo.

But thank you.

Good night.

I don't think he'll

change his mind

by the morning.

He's not gonna stay.

He's different than

the others.

You're not gonna be

able to make him do

what you want

him to do.

Who said anything

about me?

I'll send Solara.

You can't do that.

It's about time I got

better use out of her.

Dont... Please.

Please, dont. Please.

Can I come in?

Give me a minute.

Somebody already came

with food and water.

I got everything

I need.

Are you sure

about that?

It's really

bright in here.

- I'm Solara.

- Right

You filled my canteen

downstairs.

Yeah. You're that

Walker, right?

Right.
