The Ultimate Warrior

It's been two days, hasn't it.

Yes sir - he hasn't moved

a muscle in two days.

Strange, isn't it.

That depends a good deal

on the man.

Has he had any offers?

Well, some of the Bethel commune

from across town

came to talk to him.

We need that man.

I'll have to talk with him.

Well, we can holler to him

and tell him to come over.

He'd never hear.

Get a few men together.

You are going to

leave the compound?

If you know a way to get there

without leaving the compound

I'd be happy to consider it.

String beans are coming

along here.

Yes, sir.

But being as dead as they were

I think they're coming

back real fine.

Good stock

Good stock

Yeah - what do you want?

The Baron wants some men

to go with him

to the library

No

What for?

Trying to recruit a new man.

Fighter?

Looks like it.

God knows we could use one

I'm going to talk to the man

at the library.

Be carefull

I hope he's the man

you've been looking for.

So, you can hear me.

What's your name?

I assume you're for hire...

...or you wouldn't be standing here.

Well, I'm called the Baron.

The people of the commune

took to using the term.

Whether it's said in respect

is unknown to me.

What I'm telling you is the

simple fact

that we are not searching out

to destroy.

We do not covet the lives

or goods of any people

We have a good and lasting supply

of fresh water.

And, uh, we grow our own

vegetables.

As our man, you are entitled to

more than the others.

Three adult allotments

of food and water

each meal

I don't know what your

sexual requirements might be, but

anything of that sort will have to be

worked out on your own

Your room will be dry...

...and free of rats.

If you smoke, I have a

large cache of cigars.

I believe that to be

the extent of my offer.

Well, I can only think

that your answer is no.

If you should reconsider,

our compound is two city blocks away

in the direction you are facing.

You'll see the barricade.

Help him, will you.

I'll show you the way.

Carrot!

Baron's place.

Ah, the fighter joined up

with him.

Now why do you figure

the Baron needs him?

He's got all the men he needs...

...or can feed.

I want all of you to meet...

Carson

Carson

He saved our lives just now.

Have some of the girls ready

the room above the old

tobacco shop.

When you are settled

I'd like to talk.

Come right in.

Just push that material

off the setee.

You don't flop in a chair.

Most people flop.

I hope your room was dry.

Oh yes, fine...

...and as you said - no rats.

That brings me to something

that I've been wondering about.

My pitch to you out there

in the street...

...what did I say say that

caused you to join us?

Might have been the promise

of extra portions of food.

No?

Well then, eh, maybe the fact

that we don't seek

the goods or lives of others.

No, nothing so noble.

You have a supply of cigars?

You may be kidding me.

It's interesting what becomes

valuable to us

when most everything is taken away.

Twenty five to the box.

And all of them sealed in

aluminum tubes

and as fresh as the day

they were made.

You can have all you want.

I believe I know this.

Hood ornament

My father had one.

It was the last year

the car was made.

He really suffered when he couldn't

get more gasoline to run it.

I don't believe he ever said

another word

Just sat there...

...while his world was

turned off around him.

And then - the epidemics

No hospitals - no medicine

He was one of the first to go -

he and my mother.

Where were you born?

Detroit

Anybody there now?

Mostly empty.
