— Hello, my name is Niles Pottinger,
— and welcome to the Badlands.
— We are currently transporting
— the latest, most advanced mineral extraction equipment
— from Cedars to the boomtown of Deﬁance.
— It’s a small town, big of heart…
— Swap sides ? My right side is…
— it’s inﬁnitely more camera-friendly.
— Maybe, but the terraformed rock over your shoulder,
— it creates a sense of groundedness,
— and people like their leaders down to Earth.
— Do you know, Captain ?
— New York is whispering about you.
— Is that a good thing or a bad thing ?
— Seems the viceroy is quite taken with your latest ﬁlm.
— Well, thank you, sir.
— Sometimes I’m worried they’re a little over the top.
— Nonsense.
— As a great old Earth philosopher once said:
— The extreme always seems to make an impression.
— Mmmh. [ Gunﬁre ]

— I think they’re dead. Oh, God.
— Suck it up ! Get them on the truck.
— Oh, God. [ Grunts ]
— Please.
— Look, I haven’t seen your face !
— I don’t know who you are !
— Shut up !
— On your knees.
— I am a high-ranking ofﬁcer of the Earth Republic.
— People owe me favors.
— If you spare my life,
— I will guarantee the investigation
— into this incident is abandoned immediately.
— High-ranking ?
— Not anymore.
— I’m stripping you of your rank.
— I said, “strip.”
— All the way.
— Get on your knees.
— You do not want to do this.
— Get on your jekking knees !
— You like to hurt people ?
— Piss all over them ?
— Well, this is what it feels like.

— Can you describe the masks these raiders wore ?
— One wore, like, an oriental mask of some sort,
— with these… ridiculous antlers.
— Another one wore a red mask
— with shotgun shells sticking out of it
— like spikes.
— It’s from a sport they used to play
— in old Canada, America.
— Ice football, or… — Hockey.
— I don’t bloody know what it is !
— All I know is six of my men are dead,
— and valuable E-Rep equipment has been stolen,
— and it needs to be found now !
— Well, I wouldn’t get my hopes up there.
— Raiders tend to move
— at a pretty fast clip after a hit.
— They’re probably 500 klicks away by now.
— Well, then I reckon you better get moving.
— Take as many men as you need.
— I’ll go.
— I want to hurt the people who hurt you.
— Thank you, Churchill.
— That’s very kind.
— I’ll get you extra petrohol.
— Crisscrossing the Badlands
— is a waste of time and materials.
— We need leads.
— And there was me thinking you were an expert tracker.
— See, that’s the point… I don’t chase my ass
— all over the Badlands.
— Look, Nolan’s right.
— You’re going to need an army to cover that much ground,
— and your best bet would be to keep your eye
— on the black market from here to AngelArc
— for any sign of the tech.
— I don’t remember asking you.
— You’re my advisor on policy, not security.
— Know your place.
— Well, I’m glad to see they didn’t kill you.
— What are you still doing here ?
— I’m pretty sure that my camera
— got a clear shot of the leader’s face
— when his mask slipped, but, unfortunately,
— my hard drive got smashed.
— But I think I can ﬁx it.
— You know, you’ve got a bruise there.
— We should probably get you to the doctor.
— I was only unconscious for a few minutes.
— Jessica…
— Can you call me Berlin… like everyone else ?
— I don’t like when you get all “Jessica” on me.
— Well, at least you should lie down.
— I’m ﬁne.
— I have work to do.
— Did Irisa let you coddle her like this ?
— No.
— Irisa’s not the coddling type.
— You know, I have eyes.
— I see the way that you look at her
— and the way that she looks at you.
— You know, this must be the head wound talking
— because… [ Clears throat ]
— if I had it my way,
— Irisa and Nolan would be

— Good.
[ Sighs ]
— Hey, Boss.
— We did it.
— You dumbass kid ! What the hell were you thinking ?
— Uncle Rafe, are you seeing this stuff ?
— This is mining equipment,
— Votan laser tech.
— It can slice through rock like butter.
— I know what the hell it is ! — Those E-rats want to start
— cutting through the hard deposits.
— It’s going to cause a collapse.
— We could lose hundreds of miners.
— The E-Rep hasn’t said a word
— about hitting no hard deposits.
— Why else would they need to bring this stuff in then ?
— Look, the E-Rep does not care about Deﬁance.
— They’d just as soon let us fall into the earth.
— You know who these people are.
— They killed half my family !
— All right, Josef, calm down, son !
— You’re the one who said it !
— You said there’s gonna come a time
— where blood has to be spilled !
— I didn’t tell you to rob an E-Rep convoy, did I ?
— Who else was in on this ?
— Raul, Bink, and O’Grady.
— Where are they now ?
— Raul and Bink didn’t make it.
— Oh.
— We buried them in the woods,
— and then O’Grady took off for Cedars.
— We didn’t think that the E-Rep
— would be able to hit back so hard.
— Well, what the hell did you expect them to do,
— offer you a sandwich ?
— Well, they paid for it.
— We took out a bunch of their guys.
— Raul and Bink did not die for nothing.
— We are saving this town.
— We’re saving lives.
— You brought this crap into my home !
— You know how close they watch me !
— I thought that you’d be on my side.
— Well, you thought wrong !
— It seems my being away has been good for you.
— It gave you the chance to step out
— of my shadow and cast one of your own.
— After breakfast, we’ll head to the ﬁght tent.
— You can bring me up to date. — Dad…
— I was just covering for you while you were gone.
— I thought that, since you’re home now,
— you’d want me to step back,
— and let me focus on my music business.
— Well, that was before I heard about your zem-ba-ko.
— Once a man has taken a life, he is forever a zem-bat-so.
— You know, Alak, I never envisioned
— this life for you.
— I always imagined you
— in a legitimate occupation
— like your music business,
— where you would prosper and raise a family,
— a pillar of the community.
— But I was mistaken.
— For better or for worse,
— you are a Tarr.
— My blood runs through your veins.
— There’s no escaping that.
— Eat up.
— I must admit, I do look forward
— to having someone to talk business with,
— a man I know I can trust.
— You’ll see for yourself,
— the more powerful a man becomes…
— Hey, you ! Datak Tarr. — the fewer his conﬁdants.
— How the hell are you walking these streets
— a free man ?
— I’ve been granted parole.
— Now, if you’ll kindly remove yourself from our paths.
— Colonel Marsh was our C.O.
— He was a good man.
— He did not deserve to be stabbed
— to death by a dirty Haint.
— Funny. He used that same word.
— What, “Haint”.
— Does the word “Haint” bother you ?
— That’s what you are.
— You and that Haint son of yours.
[ Spits ]
— You have every right to be angry,
— for I have committed a heinous act.
— While I don’t expect forgiveness,
— I offer my most sincere apology.
[ Grunts ]
—
— Back at my ofﬁce,
— I was out of sorts.
— Mmmh, a lot of people are out of sorts.
— It’s no excuse.
— I value your input.
— Mmmh.
— Truly.
— That stolen tech must be pretty important.
— Or is it something else ?
— One of the raiders, he…
— he made me strip down.
— It dredged up some old memories
— I’d spent years trying to forget.
— Now these memories are back
— in the front of my brain,
— as clear as you are in front of me.
— I’m going to tear apart the man who did this to me.
— You can count on that.
— You want to talk about it ?
— I do not.
— Thank you. — Okay.
— During the war, my parents sent me away
— to boarding school,
— to Devon.
— I was 15.
— I think they thought it would be safer down there.
— So, a Sunday, bitterly cold and…
— just got to chapel,
— and we were just settling into our pews
— when all of a sudden,
— all of the stained glass windows just shattered.
— And the Votans came.
— And they locked all the doors,
— and they kept us in there…
— no food, no washrooms…
— for 11 days.
— The ﬂoor was…
— covered in piss and broken glass.
— My hands, they got all cut up
— when they held me down, and they…
— I’m so sorry.
— This world’s full of stories like mine.
— I know.
— That’s why it’s important to drag them
— into the light.
— Do less damage that way.
— Bullet hole-in-one, right through the heart.
— So you got yourself paroled from Camp Reverie, huh ?
— How exactly did you manage that ?
— Raw sex appeal.
— Contusion to the left temple.
— Last time I checked, E-Rep wasn’t handing out
— pardons too easily.
— Well, if you’re worried that I said something
— about your Irathient godling,
— the answer is no.
— Keep it that way.
— Oh, yeah, single gunshot.
— Oddly precise for raiders, isn’t it ?
— They usually like to ﬁll their victims
— full of lead.
— Berlin says her camcorder data
— looks recoverable.
— She’s getting close.
— There’s a boot-print on his shoulder.
— That looks like Gulanite.
— No. No, that’s just dirt.
— What are you doing ? That was Gul…
— Not Gulanite.
— You just destroyed evidence ! — No.
— You want to bury this ?
— So you can protect Rafe McCawley ?
— Nobody’s burying anything, all right ?
— I’ll take care of it.
— Don’t.
— You can’t do this. — Watch me.
— You did not provoke him enough.
— I hocked in his face.
— We shoved him to the dirt.
— And he made no move towards you ?
— Well, he begged for our forgiveness
— with some Casti religious crap.
— Fine time for him to learn self-control.
— Hey, hey, our scrip.
[ Door closes ]
— So what can you tell me
— about a so-called raider attack
— out by Montok Pass ?
— First I’ve heard of it.
— E-Rep caravan.
— Doesn’t ring a bell ? — Nope.
— See, that girl, Berlin,
— she caught one of the guys on video.
— And me, I’m certain he’s a miner.
— Are you now ?
— Rafe, if you know anything about this,
— you better come clean with me right now.
— Make one move, and I swear you’re dead.
[ Sighs ]
— He’s my godson. Go easy on him.
— Don’t see why I should. — Go easy on me ?
— I’m the one with the gun…
— That’s what I’m talking about.
— Hands where I can see them, Rafe.
— He had nothing to do with this.
— Did I ask you to talk ?
— He lost family to the E-Rep. It’s a legitimate beef.
— Where’s the equipment ?
— It’s out back in his truck.
— Look, Nolan, I’m the one to blame here.
— I got the kid all wound up, shooting off my mouth.
— He’s a good kid.
— He just got in over his head.
— You take out a gun, you put on a mask,
— and you rob people…
— Things have a tendency of getting ugly, Rafe.
— I’m sorry.
— This kid killed people.
— You know, when they took my mines away,
— I could have appealed, but that wasn’t an option.
— I was labeled an enemy combatant
— because I shot at E-Rep soldiers
— to protect Irisa.
— I don’t know what they wanted her for, I still don’t,
— and I don’t care.
— But I fought for her
— because it was the right thing to do.
— I ﬁgured you’d do the same for me.
— Or was I wrong ?
— Right now, that Captain Rainier
— is up in the darby building
— reconstructing a video camera hard drive
— that clearly, buddy, shows your face.
— The second that data’s recovered,
— you are burned in this town forever.
— You understand ?
— You get your godson on a land coach
— and give him enough cash to disappear.
— Nolan. — Yeah ?
— Thanks.
[ Clears throat ]
— Open the cell.
— Well, well, well, where did you ﬁnd this ?
— Little cave up in Wolf Canyon.
— All those years of scavenging,
— I got pretty good at ﬁnding raider stash points.
— No doubt.
— So if I were you,
— which I’m not,
— I’d send some men out to that cave A.S.A.P.
— All neat and tidy…
— except for one thing.
— Mm-mmh ?
— How do you explain the Gulanite dust
— on my dead soldier ?
— That was dirt.
— That’s not what Deputy Lasalle claimed.
— Mmmh.
— Deputy Lasalle.
— You gave me the badge, right ? You wanted me to do the job ?
— Well, if you want to believe him over me, here.
— Here’s the badge. Give it to Tommy.
— Keep it.
— But I want this matter resolved.
— Come on, kiddo.
— Let’s go resolve the matter.
— In my absence, my son has risen to the occasion.
— So I am pleased to announce
— that we will now be working side by side.
— Each of you are my family as well,
— but you have disappointed me.
— You betrayed me.
— You ignored the instructions I sent from prison.
— Instead, you followed the orders of a woman…
— my wife.
— With all respect, Favi Tarr,
— we were answering to Alak. — Shh.
— Don’t lie to me.
— What is a man to do when all of his men
— equally dishonor him ?
— Does a general slaughter his own troops ?
— Our Castithan forefathers
— grappled with this very same problem,
— and they… they had a wise solution…
— the one bears the shame of the many.
— One soldier, one ax, one grave.
— So, Vizu, who shall it be ?
— What ? — Huh ?
— Should it be Raiga ?
— Why, he’s been with us ﬁve years.
— Stop. — Or what about Giemo ?
— Why, he used to babysit you, change your nappies.
— Of course, not without complaining.
— He was always grumbling about one thing or another.
— Well, you could put an end to that right now.
— Stondak Tiralo.
— Tell Alak what you say
— about his little radio station, Ston. Mmmh ?
— He thinks your music is for shtako.
— I’ve made a decision.
— Kill me.
— I could have stopped mom,
— but I didn’t.
— I was weak.
[ Charge blade clicks ]
— That you were… [ Charge blade hums ]
— But you are my legacy.
[ Panting ]
— Clean this up and open the tent.
— Josef, I got your ticket, and you’re lucky.
— It’s the last one.
— Josef ?
— Ah, Jeez, where are you ?
— Don’t turn around.
— I just want the camera and the data,
— and we won’t have any problems.
— Since you asked nicely.
— Aah ! [ Cup shatters ]
[ Grunting ]
— You weren’t supposed to see me.
—
— Amanda’s here.
— Show her in.
[ Clears throat ]
— Your boy Nolan claims the perpetrators
— are still at large,
— whereabouts unknown.
— The last part’s a lie.
— You want me to speak to him ? [ Laughs ]
— No, there’s no need.
— He found the equipment.
— In the end, that’s all that matters.
[ Coughs, sniffs ]
— I know you don’t believe that.
[ Clears throat ]
— Yeah, like the E-Rep really give a damn
— about my childhood traumas.
— Mmmh. [ Laughs ]
— When you close your eyes,
— do you see the V.C. soldiers ?
— The ones who attacked you ?
— Sometimes, yeah. I suppose I do.
— I see a bright light,
— a white, blinding light.
— As in God ?
[ Laughs ] No.
— No.
— No, it’s a man,
— with a powerful ﬂashlight.
— What man ?
— The man who raped me.
— When ?
— I was living in New York,
— working as an entry clerk at E-Rep headquarters.
— I was coming home one night. It was late.
— I could sense someone behind me.
— He blinded me with a bright light,
— put a hand around my mouth
— and a gun in my back and…
[ Exhales ]
— I-I don’t know what to say.
[ Clears throat ]
— Well, I didn’t tell anyone.
— In politics, looking weak,
— being a victim, it can ruin a career.
— So I kept quiet.
— I didn’t even tell my ﬁancé.
— Poor Connor had no idea.
— Connor, as in Connor Lang ?
— Yes.
— Did you know him ?
— Everyone knew him. Or of him.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah.
— Well, life went back to normal,
— until I missed my period.
— I let Connor believe it was his.
— But that thing was growing inside of me,
— so… I got rid of it.
— Connor couldn’t understand. I mean, how could he ?
[ Laughs ] I was lying to him.
— So our relationship ended.
— I took my sister and we traveled west.
— And the rest, as they say, is history.
[ Sniffs ]
— Why are you telling me this ?
— I didn’t want you to think you’re alone
— because you’re not.
— That’s the kindest thing anyone’s ever done for me.
— Thank you.
— Yeah.
[ Door opens ]
— They took Berlin.
— I will ﬁnd her.
— I will bring her back safe. — Raiders didn’t do this.
— Who are you protecting, Nolan ?
— Is it Rafe ?
— Is it Rafe McCawley behind this ?
— No.
— I can promise you that.
— You didn’t ﬁnd that equipment
— in a cave, did you ?
— You got me.
— I found it in town, down a spider hole
— out near Rayoon Gulch.
— I just thought if you knew
— it wasn’t actual raiders,
— you would have had your soldiers going
— door to door, busting the whole town up.
— Somebody was bound to get hurt.
— If I had you sent down to Reverie
— or, better still, shot in the head,
— it’d break Amanda’s heart.
— And I’m not willing to do that at the moment.
— If you lie to me again, Nolan,
— I will revise that policy.
— You done here ?
— ’Cause I have a woman to rescue.
— I lied for you, Rafe, to the mayor, to Tommy.
— I owe you, Nolan.
— You want to pay me back,
— you ﬁgure out where that kid’s holed up.
— I have a few ideas.
— Hurry, and, Rafe,
— if anything happens to that E-Rep girl,
— you and me, we got blood on our hands.
— I hear you.
— So this is where the records get manufactured.
— Interesting !
— The presses were all rebuilt from salvaged parts.
— I got them for practically nothing.
— Now we have an output of 2,000 units per week,
— “Tarr Traxx.”
— Cute.
— I’ll be honest with you, son.
— When we started today,
— my intentions were quite different.
— You see those canisters ?
— Where did those come from ?
— I had them delivered.
— I was determined to burn this place to the ground.
— Your complicity with your mother
— earned that at the very least.
— Dad… — But you have shown me much.
— This business serves as a useful front.
— And that little show you put on
— back at the ﬁght tent,
— offering your life to save your men…
— clever boy.
— Give me your hand, son.
— You’ve impressed me, Alak,
— and I’m not easily impressed,
— but I cannot let your transgressions
— go unpunished.
[ Screams ]
— Everything I’ve said is true.
— And now that your debt has been discharged,
— we shall begin again, together.
[ Screams ]
— Best put some ice on that.
— He’s been home for one day. — Christie…
— One day, and he does this to you.
— I told you, I’m ﬁne.
— I want him to suffer.
— Look, this is my fault, okay ?
— I brought this upon myself.
— Alak, you do not deserve this.
— You don’t understand !
— I totally understand.
— Your father is a monster.
— Stop it, okay ?
— You don’t get it ! You’re not Castithan !
— Do you really believe that ?
— Alak ?
— What happened to your hand ?
— It… it was an accident.
—
— Those were your words, were they not ?
— I inherited this copy from a prisoner
— who met an untimely end.
— I was curious.
— What combination of words would make
— a man sacriﬁce his life for his beliefs ?
— So I began to read, and to my surprise,
— the holy teachings resonated with me.
— Rayetso demands that no misdeed go unpunished.
— The fu-da-no at the academy taught us
— that lesson quite well.
— But to scar our son…
— You have turned into your father.
— My father would have done worse…
— Did worse.
— But his ministrations made me stronger.
— The holy teachings to which he adhered to
— have been around for thousands of vi-go,
— for good reason.
— They kept order.
— They maintained balance.
— Words, Datak.
— That is all they are.
— Ancient words.
— As long as I’ve known you,
— you’ve lacked all sense of balance.
— Yes.
— In the past, I have upset the equilibrium
— more times than I care to admit.
— I regret killing Colonel Marsh,
— but you and our son have misbehaved as well,
— and now that we’ve all been humbled before Rayetso,
— we can all move forward, together,
— as a family.
— You should embrace me now.
— “Cutting through the hard deposits
— “will cause the mines to cave in,
— and shockwaves will trigger a massive…”
— I’m not reading this.
— These are lies.
— It’s all true.
— And once people see an E-Rep soldier admit it…
— they’ll rise up.
— If what you’re saying is actually true,
— you could have just made a public statement.
— Mmmh. I tried that.
— Wrote on a wall and almost died for it.
— You wrote “Kill the E-Rep.”
— If you want to sway public opinion,
— you spread the truth.
— Yeah, so says the Queen of Propaganda.
— You don’t make fans when you kill innocent soldiers.
— E-Rep soldiers are not innocent.
— Private Brandon Grabe had a wife, Annabel,
— and two kids, Ross and Galen.
— Shut up.
— Sergeant August Crown sent half
— his weekly pay home to his mother
— and three nephews whose mom died at Ridgeback.
— I said shut up !
— And they’re going to have trouble eating
— because you killed their breadwinner.
— Private Molly Chang… — Stop talking !
[ Grunts ]
— Bitch ! You’re playing me ? [ Screams ]
— I was trying to be reasonable !
[ Grunts ]
— Aah !
— You screwed yourself.
— I’m sorry.
— Hey, kid.
[ Screams ] [ Gunshots ]
— No !
[ Grunts ]
— Nolan, you okay ?
— Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve been hit worse.
— All right, stay down. I’ll get the doc.
— Let’s go.
— You should have gotten on that land coach.
— Deﬁance is my home.
— I can’t just let them drive me out.
— You have to.
— Now go on.
— Run !
— What ?
— Just go !
— Uncle R., you gotta lead these people.
— You have to get them to ﬁght.
— Just go.
— Just… just go !
— Thank you.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Whimpers ]
[ Sobs ]
[ Grunts ]
— How’s that head of yours ?
— Nothing a couple of shots of willow bark can’t ﬁx.
[ Laughs ]
— You know,
— I don’t take what you did lightly.
— You took a bullet for me, and I won’t ever forget that.
— Oh, anytime, kid.
[ Chuckles ]
— Thank God you’re okay.
— Thank him.
— Thank you.
— I appreciate it.
— Well, maybe you want to keep that in mind
— the next time you’re thinking
— about stabbing me in the back.
[ Door opens ]
— Hey. [ Door slams ]
— So…
— He was warned.
— He shot the kid himself.
— Josef is dead. You got your payback.
— It’s not enough.
— Rafe is not the one who hurt you.
