Shag found footprints.

Dozens of them. And I think they belong to the war.

Congratulations!

What's going to happen to me? Wait and see.

Who would be stupid enough to walk into the Barb camp alone?

I will.

car throughout the evacuation.

Yeah, you.

So far.

Any idea who'd do this?

Barbs. Couldn't be anyone else.

Well, yes!

Glad somebody took it.

Jug, Jug, it worked!

Nice one, Carly. Good, eh? I think this rope on the release branch would work

even quicker.

Cut him down.

Who do my important work?

Living on food hardly fit to feed to animals.

Right. I've seen enough.

Put down your tools and listen.

Listen good, because I'm only going to say this once.

Shadow, tell them how lucky they are.

You are all... You are all very lucky.

And fortunate, too.

Without me, you'd be nothing.

I'd give you shelter.

Maybe you'd like to be taken to the Forbidden Zone and left.

Hmm?

Maybe I should send one of you there right now.

Who might it be? Who do you think, Shadow?

Your choice.

Aha! Who do I see?

You.

Yes, you.

This worm was once in my army of warriors.

All I ask of him is what I ask of you.

Hard work and to do what I say. He failed me.

And now it looks as if he's failing me again.

This is what happens to failures.

Take him away.

Now, any questions?

You've cut the main roof.

You know how long it took to make that.

You could have untied it.

You. Who are you?

I could ask you the same question.

I'm asking the question.

This is my territory.

The name's Skye.

What are you doing with him?

You're not an ant.

He's my friend.

Sort of.

You're an incomer.

Incomers aren't welcome. They're trouble.

And you.

This is the second time in two days that you've been found in our territory. And

this time you've brought an incomer.

You need to be taught a lesson.

Neither of us is looking for any trouble.

Pity that.

Because you just found some.

Give them half rations for two days.

Right. What about sorry?

Sorry? If you got more work out of them, Shadow, then I wouldn't have to waste

my time hauling them out.

I'd do it. It's not my favourite pastime. Not to mention the smell.

I'm sorry, but one of the discards can only do so much. Then persuade them to

more. Or, if we don't have enough, find some more.

Easy if you think about it, is it?

to see Zora.

No chance.

Since when did you speak to Zora? Isn't he your leader anymore?

What would you know about the Barb?

Zora's not the only one who can make decisions.

Unlike your Fagar, who tells you when to breathe and when not to. For the last

time, will you take me to Zora?

Tie them up.

You're making a mistake.

Not as big as the one you made, Incomer.

When Zora hears of this, if she hears of it, when she finds out that you stopped

her from hearing an important message I have for her, what then?

What message?

It's for Zora.

Kweli, you know where Zora is right now?

Yes, I think so.

Okay, I'll take you to Zora.

It'll be fun finding out what punishment she decides you should have.

Sleep well?

That's good.

We're ready for you.

Ready. Ready for what?

You'll find out.

Now, follow me.

I don't even like berries.

Like how those who do like them do the picking.

That's what I want to know.

If things were fair, I wouldn't be picking berries.

Somebody would be picking berries for me.

If things were fair.

Thought you didn't like them.

I don't.

Much. Yeah, well I think it'd be better if you didn't have to pick berries

either. Do you?

Really?

Yeah, I'd have to put up with all your moaning.

Ha ha, funny.

This one has no thorns. It's double -naked thorns. It's poisonous.

Keep your shadows from the surface.

It scares the fish.

Carly said we'd find you here.

We caught them near our camp.

Then they need to explain themselves, don't you?

Faygar wants to see you.

Ha! Faygar the fake wants to see me.

You hear that, Jag?

Yeah. He told me he had a really important message for you.

I think I've made a very, very good choice.

You usually do, Flame.

No, I mean a really good choice. You know, she has a weird look.

Here's to you, weird.

This'll be fun.

How soon do you think we should begin?

Everything's ready.

Just say the word.

Then let's get going.

Let's rid the world of one more piece of dross.

Anything in particular you'd like doing with it?

I'll think about it.

Perhaps when you got all the messy stuff over.

To times like this, I feel like it's all worthwhile.

That the fight against all the ugliness is worth it.

I wonder if she realises how lucky she is.

Probably not now.

But soon she will.

Skye!

Not a name from these parts.

He's an incomer!

Obviously.

What brings you here?

Curiosity. That all?

Have you never wanted to know what lies over the next hill?

A wanderer, then.

Anything wrong with that?

We punish those who trespass on our property.

Whether they know they're trespassing or not, let me deal with them.

We are a fair people.

Your punishment could be severe.

I'm prepared to let you work off your punishment in our village.

What? And Dan?

He has trespassed before.

I was bringing a message.

One that I had no wish to hear.

You accept your punishment?

Punishment? I don't even accept I'm guilty.

And as for being fair, how fair are you being to your tribe refusing to hear

what Fagar has to say?

Fagar never has anything useful to say. Well, this time it's different, and

you'd better listen.

They're in this together.

Maybe.

Take them both to the camp.

Enjoy it all.

How's it all gone?

Oh, yes. Very nice.

Here a little higher, I think.

A deeper red on the lips.

Can't you get some sparkle into those eyes?

Hmm?

What was that?

What are you saying?

Speak up.

No one told this girl why she's here.

How can I get this creature to look perfect if she's half scared to death?

Listen to me.

Uh... Gwen.

All of this is because you were to become one of us.

I've decided to give you a better life.

No. That doesn't sound like anything to be scared of, does it?

You've got one hour.

Make sure you get all of them.

Snitch.

Don't care.

Leanne put poison berries in her basket.

Well, you did.

But I took the poison ones out again.

Those ones?

Yes.

But there are no more.

No more you know of.

What are you staring at? Nothing.

He's a wimp.

Can I ask something? If you must.

What's being a priv, I mean, being one of the privileged like?

It's hard work, but worth it.

To earn a place with the privileged, you must have the best standards and

present a perfect image.

But why?

If you have to ask that, you have more to learn than I thought you had.

How long have you been with the privileged?

I've never been anything else.

Nor would I want to be.

I've never had clothes like these.

We had to make our own, from whatever.

We? Who's we?

Me and my younger brother.

We're separated.

Long time ago now.

Wish we had to see all this.

What are you doing with that axe?

What a waste of time. Give him to me for five minutes.

In your dreams.

Zora knows what she's doing.

Could you pull the twine tighter, please?

What did your last slave die of?

Why do you want to interfere in business between us and the axe? All I want is

to get on my way. What you do, and what Faygo does, is none of my business.

Do you know why she wants a meeting?

Like I said, not my business.

All I'll say is that if you don't listen to her, it could all turn out to be

much worse.

What tribe were you with?

No tribe.

I was... I was found as a child.

Found?

Maybe she's trying to get him to stay.

Hardly. He's not a barb. He's a good fighter.

I've seen him.

But like Jack said, he's not a barb. She could make him one if she wanted.

Sort of pretend barb.

Wouldn't she?

Don't have any of those.

About time.

Now, what does Fagor want to talk to me about?

Your raid on our village.

What? I used to think the barbs were honest people, not thieves and

Hey, watch your tongue, Ant. The Fagor's right.

They're just a bunch of savages.

image and now and then I like to add to it.

So I

present to you my very

latest creation.

What if I'm not up to the standard?

You question my ability to make you look beautiful? No, no, it's just... I've

done my bit. Now it's up to you. If you don't impress, Flame will take it as a

personal insult.

The newest member of our tribe.

Mirren, you should be asleep.

I am asleep.

Shh, you're awake, Leanne.

I'm already awake.

I thought you'd both be.

Laura, you don't have to keep checking up on us. I do, if you refuse to sleep

night. I can't sleep.

No wonder.

All you do is seem to talk.

And it keeps me awake.

Not my fault. Yes, it is. No.

It is.

Stop arguing, both of you. Or you'll never get to sleep.

Neither will I.

Can you tell us a story, Zora?

All right.

Just a quick one.

I hate stories.

Then you don't have to listen, do you?

Now let's see what the story could be about.

A princess.

Yuck. A monster.

Tell you what.

How about...

There was once a princess called Leanne and a monster called Erin.

And they lived with a tribe called the Barbs, led by an amazing leader called

Zora.

Anyway, Zora tried to look after all the tribe, especially the younger ones.

But they used to make it difficult when they wouldn't get to sleep at night. And

they need sleep to stay fit and healthy.

Difficult to sleep with all the monsters around.

I thought you weren't afraid of the monster machines.

Only sometimes.

There's nothing wrong in owning up to what you might be afraid of, Erin.

Everyone has to do that.

Do you think the machines will be out on patrol tonight?

Maybe, but we don't need to worry.

I'm sure they'll never patrol outside the Forbidden Zone, so it won't be a

problem. And I'll never go into the Forbidden Zone, ever.

Me neither.

Little Ben.

What about the story?

The princess and the monster decided one night to get to sleep so that Zora

could check in the guards and get to sleep herself.

Zora, this is boring.

It's not finished yet.

Because the princess and the monster got extra treats when they went to sleep.

Promise?

Come on, get to sleep.

I've got a very important day tomorrow.

Typical. Only a coward attacks without warning.

This is no attack, Vega.

You need to explain yourself. And quickly. My patience is thin.

Well -built hutskies. Who'd have thought?

You think maybe I could have put it to Zora a different way?

What? We'll break the habit of a lifetime.

How many of our animals are you going to steal this time, Zora?

We're not thieves.

Oh, so our pigs and chickens just wandered off, did they, after wrecking

own coops and sties? We found your arrows.

That wasn't the barbs. Vega, we are not responsible.

I'm supposed to believe that from someone who attacks me in prayer and

the life of my chief protector?

Ow!

May I see?

You're going to hurt, harming the field.

Thorns?

I can help, if you'll let me.

I'd be grateful.

Okay, I need hot water.

Bubbling hot. I'll be back soon.

Don't they're... They're what?

They... They're not.

You tricked me, you greedy pig.

This is all part of your greater plan, isn't it, Fagar?

What plan? The same old plan.

The fear plan.

The behave yourself or Zoot will get you plan.

Bah, rubbish.

What's happening over there?

Anger and lies.

No more than we can expect.

From us barbs, you mean.

Not you, Carly. You're different.

What is it between Vega and Zora?

Don't ask me. They've always been like that.

You tell your people only what you want them to know, threatening them with

zoot. And now you're trying to make them hate us to frighten them even more.

So now I raided the crops? You're saying I was responsible for the raid?

Why not?

To rule by fear, you have to create fear.

My aunt's no right from wrong.

You're bound to speak nothing and no one and only live for themselves.

Look, this isn't going anywhere, is it? You quite sure about that, incomer?

This will draw the badness from the infection.

In two days, bathe it again and put more on.

Thanks.

Take this.

I feel much better if you do.

Sort of like a payment.

Thank you.

It's about time you people began to think for yourselves. Instead of relying

her, Faga always sees evil where there is none.

I know what I see. And you, Zora, have more evil in you than you may even

realize. You are warned, Faga.

Any more trespassing on our land or lies about us, and you'll regret it.

You want... in a while this has happened.

Look no further than him.

Everything was fine until he came along.

Who is he?

Where did he come from?

No one knows, but I'll tell you who he is.

He's a spy, sent by the Priz to turn the ants and the bugs against one another.

You need dealing with.
