Control to unit 68b, come in please.

Control to unit 68b, come in please.

Unit 68b, you have been deactivated, return to base.

Repeat, you have been deactivated, return to base.

Repeat, you have been deact--

fuck 'em, we ain't taking orders

from an integrated circuit.

Deactivated my ass!

68b is gonna keep right on administering law and order

in this shit-hole until the bitter end.

We'll show those pricks at defcon

what a couple of real cops can do.

- Right, Phil? - Mhm.

Goddamn Francis, the freaks.

They can go yodeling in silicon canyon

as far as I'm concerned.

Is this how they taught you to park, mn?

Okay, let's have a look at your license and registration.

Hey, you fucking deaf or something?

Wow, this couple is going to a fancy dress ball.

I think they're drunk, bill, better give them a breath test.

Jesus.

I'd say there's one running from the police.

Sure thing, an obvious law-breaker.

Dammit!

Move it, back to the car!

You can thank your lucky stars, piggy.

That might have been your head.

He's got to come sooner or later, jojo.

He's just got to come.

There he is! Tommy!

Hey, we're going to ride our bicycles.

Why don't you join us today, huh?

No, I don't feel like it.

It's no good sitting here.

Your pa won't ever come back.

Yes, he will and he'll bring all the water we need.

Well, I bet he just ran away

and any water he found he drank himself.

You try and say that one more time

and I'll break your face!

It's common talk.

It's not true, it's not true.

They're all saying he's a coward and a traitor!

It's not true!

Your dad's a coward.

A coward, a coward.

It's not true, it's not true!

- He's a coward, a coward. - It's not true! It's not true!

Mommy!

Mommy!

The temperature is at 20 degrees.

And humidity reads 12%--

mommy!

What is it, son, what's wrong?

Is it true that daddy's a traitor?

Who said that?

The other boys!

No, it's not true.

Your pa made that journey

risking his life to save all of us,

and to give a future to the human race.

Then why did they say that?

Because they're getting scared now.

Scared and worried.

But it's not right.

They're making a scapegoat out of Fred.

And it makes me angry that he's risking his life for them.

Pa'll come back, won't he?

Yes, of course he will, Tommy.

And he'll bring all the water that we need.

What is the humidity reading?

12%, senator, down nearly 20 in seven days.

It's a steady decline.

If Fred doesn't get here with the water soon,

then I'm afraid all the work

we've done to date'll be ruined.

Don't worry, senator, he'll be back.

I hope and pray that you're right.

Still, I'm very worried, my dear.

He should have been back by now.

After all, you know he's been gone a whole week.

Senator, why don't you let me--

oh, John, forget it,

we've already been through that.

I am not risking any more men or materials.

And what if Fred doesn't come back?

Have you thought about that, senator?

That's a possibility I'd rather not consider.

Listen, Linda, don't get me wrong.

Fred's my best friend and i trust him completely.

But it's a trip of over 180 miles

across dangerous and hostile territory.

There are bands and marauders in that desert

hunting for water day and night.

And he left without an armed guard.

Senator, I know the road to that water as well as Fred.

No, John, you're to stay here.

Senator, senator?

What's the trouble?

Look at this, there's no water in the water hole, just mud.

The moment that I have feared is here, it's here.

But we must not despair.

We must keep our faith and keep praying.

And hope for what, senator?

That god puts back the ozone belt

we destroyed with nuclear bombs?

Hope for what, for the clouds to come back?

Nothing's impossible with faith and prayer,

including miracles.

Fred could be on his way here right this minute.

You're just kidding yourself,

senator, and you know you are.

The fact is that the plants and animals

we've managed to save are now dying.

If we wait for your miracle, senator,

we won't even be here to see it!

We've got to do something before it's too late!

Please, senator, may I try?

Well?

Yes, you may-

at this stage of the game,

we may as well just risk everything.

What do you need for the trip?

A tanker and two armed cars to escort us.

I'll have Taylor call his men,

they'll prepare them.

Hey John, good luck, you'll need it.

John, I want to come with you.

Tommy, you can't!

I want to look for pa!

I can't take you along with me, Tommy.

It's gonna be rough, it's just too risky.

Hey, don't worry,

I'll come back with your father and the water, okay?

Okay, this is where we are now.

After the stone quarry, we drive north for 30 miles

until we reach the oasis, then we head west

for 20, 25 miles until we reach this area.

The underground spring lies just here,

right next to an old station.

What's that?

I don't know.

Tommy!

What the hell you doing here?

I just got to know what happened to my father.

That's all we need, now what?

It's too late to go back.

Just have to take him along.

Do you realize--

I'll be as good as anything.

And you won't even know I'm here.

If this were a picnic I'd be happy to have you along,

but it's not!

The exterminators will attack at any moment.

I brought my mascot.

I hope it works, we're gonna need it.

Yep, we're gonna need it now.

Hal, it's crazy bull's bunch and they're the worst.

They believe there's water in this friggin' thing.

That's what we want them to believe.

If they find out we're on our way to get it,

they'll want to know where it is

and that'll be the end of it.

The one thing they mustn't get is a tanker.

Charge, once more into the breech, you mother-grubbers!

Let's purloin that water!

Cover our rear, we'll try going ahead.

Hit their plank, you lousy splot of aberration.

You go, it's their turn.

Look out!

We've lost the others, step on it!

All right, mother-grubbers, come on!

Tommy, you take the map of the water

and keep hidden, huh?

Water, water, water!

Empty, it's empty!

By the beard of the prophet!

No, shadow, I want him alive.

Is the nice pretty little birdie

gonna sing a pretty song and tell me

exactly where the water is?

Go jump in the lake!

Humorist, huh?

Then let's have a few laughs.

Come on little honey parrot.

Sing crazy bull a pretty song.

You are trying my Patience.

Now, I'll give you just one more chance.

Where is the water?

Go to hell, you ball-headed slob.

You think that other poor fool

who went out with the tanker is gonna get back?

Well, he's not, he's a pile of bones in the desert!

And that's what you'll be if you don't talk.

Here's your water.

Have a good day, you Turkey!

All right, make haste you mother-grubbers.

Mount thy steed. We'll follow their heading

and we'll find the water.

Your pa made that journey,

risking his life to save all of us,

and to give a future to the human race.

Let's hope he gets back

with that water soon before it's too late.

Don't worry, senator, he'll be back.

You like that, huh, jojo?

Did you hear that?

What do you think it is?

It's not good for you to drink it all at once.

A sip, just a sip.

And what will you give me in return?

In return?

Sure, I don't go around handing out my water.

Listen, kid--

my name's Tommy.

Okay, Tommy, keep the water if you like.

But hand me that Jack over there, behind the wheel.

I want to get out of here.

What will you give me in return?

I promise not to kill ya' right away.

That's not much of a deal.

Have you got a tanker?

No, but I have a car.

The most powerful in all the forbidden lands.

The exterminator, have you heard of it?

I need a tanker.

What do you need a tanker for?

I need to carry water.

I know where it is.

If there was any water to be had, I'd know it too.

Well, have you got a tanker or not?

No.

But I can get one.

You give me that Jack over there

and I'll take you to it.

That's a deal!

Well then, where is this place?

Hey! That wasn't in our deal!

Alien doesn't do deals with anyone.

You owe me your life!

There you are, now we're quits!

Listen, kid, stop following me.

I'm not following you.

We took the same road and you started first.

Which way are you going?

East.

That's fine, I'm going west.

That took you long enough.

Weren't you meant to be heading east?

I changed my mind, anything against that?

Nothing against it, but it might be dangerous.

Listen kid, do you really know where to find water?

Where, is it far?

Not very.

To the west, is that right?

No.

To the east then?

Maybe.

What's the matter, you don't trust me?

Are you afraid I'll drink it all?

My father died for that water.

I've got to get them filled tankers somehow.

'Cause a lot of people are gonna die if I don't.

Okay.

But if I take you, what's in it for me

besides a day's outing?

Perhaps they're able to blossom again one day,

thanks to our water.

And that'll be thanks to you too.

Isn't that enough?

No, not for me.

You're a barbarian,

that's the difference between you and me.

Yeah, well in this shit of a world,

barbarians have to be around.

And seeing that without me,

you'd never get there and back alive,

you should offer me something.

I'll see when we get there.

All right, we'll leave it at that.

Damn you and the moment I met you!

Now, let's get going, come on.

Okay.

How now, alien!

How now to you, crazy bull.

What's this walking shit?

You stole my car from me, where is it, alien?

Well, you'll never believe this but

someone stole it from me.

The only think i really cared about

in this entire world is my exterminator,

the only thing!

I can believe that, it's a fantastic machine.

Is that all she was to you?

You know what, methinks you really

are crazy to show your dirty fuzz face

in this territory after what you did!

This is my home, i was born around here.

Then I imagine you came back intent on dying around here.

Not exactly.

Take them!

Chain the infidel alien between two iron steeds.

Let's see what splitting the mother in two does to his ego.

Move it!

If you let me go and give me

any old kind of vehicle to get out of here, I'll,

I'll let you in on a golden secret.

What secret?

Well, will you give me what I asked you?

Here he is on the brink of death

and he has the audacity to try to make bargains.

Be prudent, this golden secret, what is it?

Water, water, crazy bull.

So much of it, it'll make you rich.

You are making me angry, alien.

You don't joke about the element

that's most important in life,

that's life itself!

I know that, crazy bull, I'm not joking.

I know where there's water.

Speak.

Hold it.

I'll tell you where the water is

only when my ass is sitting on something

that'll take me as far as possible from you.

You'll get it.

Right now.

What's wrong, no faith in me?

Would you trust a snake?

There you are, it's all yours.

Where's the water?

Ask the kid where the water is.

Stop him!

Let go!

Let go!

Where's the water?

I don't know anything.

Alien lied to save his own skin.

None of it was true!

Yeah, well the main point is kid,

it could just as easily be you who's lying.

Tough little brat, go on, break his arm, he'll talk.

Kid, tell me about that secret water

or he'll break your arm in two.

It won't break.

You asked for it, kid!

Ball breakers, get him!

Hold on, Tommy. On the back, quick!

Come on you mothers, i want those bastards.

My arm, don't forget my arm!

What the hell you made of anyway?

I'll tell you later.

Hold tight, kid.

Well, senator, the tap has run dry.

There's nothing more we can do.

I know, I know.

Our only hope is that John gets back real soon,

and that they've got water with them.

Who knows if they're still alive.

Tommy!

Come on now, Linda, stop it!

We have to keep faith, my dear.

We have to keep on hoping, otherwise we have nothing.

Now, get back to work, it'll keep your mind off things.

Why don't you go see to what's needed for the next few days?

I'll do it at once.

Edward, I want you to prepare the

toughest rationing program possible.

A program that'll keep us alive for at least a week or two.

Right, senator.

There, now let's get going.

Are you sure the tank is empty?

Yeah, come on, we'll just have to walk to papeon's.

There's nothing else we can do.

Is this papeon a mechanic?

Something of the kind.

In any case, he's the only one around here

who knows something about mechanics.

Just pray that he's still alive.

You think he'll be able to fix my arm?

We can only ask him, bionics are

a bit more complicated than mechanics.

What's the matter? What's wrong with you?

My arm, it hurts terribly.

Come on then, up you go.

If it weren't for that water,

you would have left me to die a long time ago.

Isn't that so?

You know something, kid, i get tired of listening to you.

That's what you always say.

Shut up!

Let me down, alien, we're never gonna make it like this.

Just shut up will ya', we're almost there.

Another step and you're dead.

Hey papeon, it's me, alien!

Keep away from me, alien.

I thought we were friends?

I have no friends and i haven't got any water for you.

What I got left is only just enough for me.

I don't need your water.

In fact, I was gonna ask if you wanted some,

in return for your help.

Okay, come on out.

But don't try anything smart, eh?

What do you want?

Quit pointing that rifle at me and we'll talk.

All right, start talking.

I need...

Hey, what's my car doing here?

That hunk of junk belong to you?

What are you calling junk, it's the exterminator!

Call it what you want,

but if I hadn't put my hands on it,

it would still be a hunk of junk.

Do you know what I've done to this wreck?

Do you know, I've added twin turbo compressors

and four valve heads, 32 valves!

Changed the carburetors.

Do you know many carburetors it has now?

Well, do you know? Do you--

I don't give a damn what you've done,

I just want to know why you've got my machine.

So, you've come all this way to pick a fight, have you?

No, I've come for him.

Now, what's his problem?

They tore his arm off.

His arm?

It's biomechanical.

I tried to put it back together

but it doesn't work right.

You're the only one I know

that can possibly straighten it out.

Are you crazy?

You know perfectly well I'm not capable

of doing anything like that.

And this arm is not factory made.

This is an imitation.

Shit, weren't you meant to be an astronaut?

That was so long ago,

I can't even remember how to get to the moon.

And anyway, what the hell does the fact

that I was a space rover got to do with biomechanics?

Don't you know it would take me

at least two months and a couple of top engineers

to put that arm right again!

You're almost making me cry.

Let's do a deal, his arm for yours.

You know what I like about you?

You always say "please."

All right, my boy, we better get in the truck.

I'll bet you fix it in two minutes.

Come on, it's not that different from a carburetor.

Yes, it's true, all we need to know now

is how this carburetor works.

Now then, pass me that pincer,

the screwdriver and those wires.

And bring me that old television.

Biomechanics, what shit!

Hey, what do you need this dynamite for?

You never know.

With all the oddballs that roam this desert.

Where the freak are the pincers?

Just a sec.

You got beer.

Go easy on that, that's a vintage year.

You can't find it anymore.

Anyhow, I need it as an anesthetic.

Give it to the boy to drink.

Sit down, boy, come on.

This won't hurt him, will it?

How the hell should I know?

- What's your name? - Tommy.

Listen to me, Tommy, drink.

To be honest, i don't know exactly

what I have to do but if I hurt you,

you tell me, drink some more.

Did I hurt you?

No, you were tickling me.

Hey, were you really an astronaut?

Sorry. Was I really an astronaut?

Sure, one of the best.

And you went up into space?

I've even been to Mars and Venus.

But that was before the ozone disappeared,

and the earth turned into a hot potato.

There were clouds in the sky and the rain would come down.

You've seen rain?

Sure I have.

The earth was green and lush.

There was grass and trees and enough water for everyone.

We even used to take baths in water.

I'm nearly through.

- That's not too good. - What isn't?

There are two joints and a couple of transistors missing.

So, get some replacements.

Where am I supposed to get them from?

Can't you find what you need in all this junk?

Wait a minute.

You don't mind it I modify it a little, do you?

So long as it works.

You better go outside.

When I'm working I can't stand people around.

Okay, I'll go out and get a breath of fresh air.

Yeah.

How come you're with a guy like alien?

We're partners.

You'd be safer with a snake

as a partner than someone like alien.

I know, that's why I chose him.

Go on, drink some more, kid.

Don't turn around, get your hands up!

Now get out, slowly.

Who are you?

Shut up and walk!

I didn't tell you to stop.

There's a snake in front of me.

Come on, not that old trick.

Maybe it's an old snake.

Trash?

That's so you don't get the wrong idea.

I should have let the snake bite you.

A snake bite is better than a kiss from you.

"I'll be back in a few minutes," you said.

And you leave me alone in the middle

of the desert with the barbarians!

Nevertheless, I see you're alive.

So, if you don't mind, I'll take my car.

You're welcome.

The old man sure changed things around here.

If you're looking for the starter,

it's that knob there.

Well, you know one has to take care,

especially with all these thugs around.

There.

What's the matter, did I hurt you?

No, I'm just fine.

Fine?

I've never felt so fine in all my born days.

Tastes okay.

Is he your son?

Good god, do I look like a father?

No, we're partners.

Partners?

What does he have so important that you want?

Water, so much water, we can all get rich.

We can own all the forbidden lands.

How's the kid?

Well, he's drunk.

- Drunk? - Ran out of anesthetic.

Tommy?

Hi there, partner!

How's the arm?

The arm? Just fine, look.

Come on now, not that arm.

The other arm, the biomechanical one.

Oh, this.

I haven't quite figured out how to work it.

Jesus, what the hell did he fix it with?

Lots of beer.

Hey!

Tommy, don't, that's dynamite.

Did you see that?

I can control everything now.

Sure smells good.

Yeah, everyone knows that my snake stew seasoned

with cactus is the best in the forbidden lands, taste it.

It's delicious.

Hey, Tommy, after we've eaten, we'll be off again.

This time in the comfort of the exterminator.

I'm not coming.

What?

You heard, I'm not coming.

Papeon is gonna give me his tanker,

and you and trash will go get the water.

Me, with her?

Do you have something against that?

Yeah!

Until I'm sure the arm works, Tommy cannot move.

We'll catch up later.

What's all this about?

What the hell does she have to do with it?

I told her where the water is.

She'll take you to it.

But you wouldn't tell me.

- I trust her. - You mean that--

Tommy told us why he needs the water.

Trash and I are on his side.

I'm on his side too.

You have a rotten reputation, alien.

Why should anyone take your word, huh?

You mean you trust her, a common car thief?

- Yes. - Yes.

After that peak, we've got to bear to the right,

and then straight on until we reach the old station.

You mean, that's where the water is?

At the old central?

That's what Tommy told me.

Listen, I have no intention of getting

that water for the kid, how about you?

You go on ahead.

We load it now, then you and I

go out and sell it to the highest bidder.

What do you think?

Huh?

Well, what do you think?

I think you're a bastard.

You don't agree?

No.

Well then, I'm real sorry.

Because your trip ends right here.

You're rotten, alien, rotten to the guts.

Don't go moralizing with me,

especially a common thief like yourself.

Tommy and his people are the only hope for the future.

God, don't you really care?

No.

You've got the feelings of a fossil.

Listen baby, I don't care about the future.

I won't be there.

I'm here right now and the world's like it is right now.

If you want to survive, you've got to play rough.

All I'm doing is going by the rules.

That's a hell of a life.

I didn't choose it.

I'll be back this way later.

If you change your mind, just whistle.

I wouldn't count on it.

Farewell, then.

I don't think you'll get very far.

We'll see about that.

I told you that you wouldn't get far by yourself.

All right, trash, what's the next move?

Now, you'd better untie me,

and we'll continue our trip,

and go get the water for Tommy.

So, that's what you think, huh?

Why? I'll be able to take the exterminator

and continue the trip to where I want.

To do what, alien?

In this period, the world doesn't

offer us too many choices.

Tommy should be given his water, believe me.

Ready?

That is more like it, kid.

Now, see if you can throw.

Great heavens!

Listen to me, I wouldn't arm wrestle with you

even if you gave me a whole truck load of ice cold beer.

Good, good.

Listen papeon, tell me again when the grass was green.

It was marvelous, full of life, color.

Lovely flowers, birds and bees.

And the women, the women were gentle.

Doesn't sound like trash.

Trash is a modern woman.

So, you're not worried about the deal then?

Not for us, no.

But I'm not sure about alien.

It seems deserted.

I don't like it, it smells.

Are you sure that's where the water is?

That's what the kid said.

He said it was underground inside,

a reservoir, a tank, supposedly under one of the warehouses.

The problem is, who will we find inside of it?

Right, how do we do it?

Come on, I'll show you.

It really does seem to be deserted.

Let's check down this alley.

Yeah, come on.

Listen.

Come on.

Sounds like a big engine.

We need something to get in.

I'm your girl.

What is that?

An ultrasonic key.

That's it.

Be careful.

Hey, look!

I'll be damned, it's a below well.

We won't have any problems getting the water.

And as much as we want.

Right from the bowels of the earth.

The door!

I don't want to frighten you, but I think we have trouble.

Look out!

Who ever it is, I don't think they like us too much.

I wonder how we're gonna get out of here alive?

There must be some way to get out.

- Don't move! - Where are you going?

I just want to turn the lights on.

I don't want to die in the dark.

Hear me, you stirless infidels!

You have profaned our secret temple,

entered the forbidden shrine.

And what's more to the point,

you have found out about the water!

And thus, you will die!

Wait!

Watch out, alien.

- You okay? - Yeah.

Come on then, let's go!

Okay!

Get down!

My god!

Stay right here.

Alien, water, alien, it's water!

I've forgotten what it was like.

Water to wash ourselves.

Water to cultivate the earth.

We're rich, we're rich!

We can sell it to people as if it were gold.

Don't try to stop me, you won't make it.

Not this time.

I'm not hassled about it.

Good girl, because we've got a fortune here.

It'll be like crude oil before the holocaust.

I was just a little boy and I remember

that this crude oil made many men rich.

Don't you want a bit of relaxation before you get rich?

Son of a bitch!

That sneaky little beaver.

All right, to hell with you, trash.

If you're coming back for me, you needn't.

As you can see, I'm all right.

This is no time to joke, alien.

I have crazy bull right on my back!

Okay, honey, if you really want the water,

step on the gas and go, I'll take care of crazy bull.

Yq“?

Yeah, even a son of a bitch has a soul.

Go on, trash, don't hang around here.

Do I see alien and my borrowed exterminator?

Make weapons ready for battle.

Alien, the ides of march are upon you, you mother!

Take your time, crazy bull.

I'll take care of the tanker.

Go back the other way, to the shortcut.

Section one!

Into battle my merry mother-grubbers.

Unleash the dogs of war.

Turn around!

There's no one here.

Nothing, she can't have got far!

I'll check along the rocks.

Right!

She's here!

Come on, move your ass!

Don't let her get away!

It's the end of the road, baby, at least for you!

So long, trash.

Good boy.

We got here just in time.

Hold it, throw it down, go on, kiddo or I'll kill her.

Do as she says.

Now then, just don't do nothing.

Stay right where you are till I'm a long way away.

And don't try following me neither!

Go, trash!

Papeon! Papeon!

Bitch!

I'm finished, trash, finished.

Shut up, old astronauts never die.

Alien? Where's alien?

About a mile down the canyon from here.

Crazy bull was after me and the water,

and alien stayed to fight him, so I could get away.

Tell him that he's a big son of a bitch!

But I love him like a son, as if he were my--

come on now, Tommy,

we've got to change the wheel on the tanker,

and get that water to safety fast!

And alien?

Alien has his own war with crazy bull.

Let's go, we don't have too much time.

Hey, move it, Tommy, come on!

We can't leave alien alone.

Men like him prefer to go it alone.

Don't you worry about a chauvinist like alien.

I don't know if you're right or not,

but the point is he saved my life.

And I have to return the favor.

So?

So, let's take papeon's truck.

We'll get there a lot quicker, come on.

If we cut over the hills, trash,

it might be a lot faster.

Will this old machine be able to climb them?

Let's try.

Okay.

Thy end is nigh!

Blow the mother-grubber into bits and pieces!

Come on, surround the bastard, you got him, let's go!

Retreat!

Let's get out of here.

That was a good throw!

Go on, throw another one!

Okay.

Come on, fall in!

Alien, I'm gonna make you wish you'd never been born.

Die, unspeakable varmint!

Bastard!

Oh no.

All the water is gone.

What if we go back for another load?

It's the only choice, we have to, let's go.

- Christ! - Oh!

I don't believe it.

I never thought I'd ever see you cry.

Who's crying?

Don't tell me that those aren't tears.

It's water!

This is water.

Water, it really is--

water, water, yes, water!

Water, water!

I can't believe it!

Yes!
