Don't say anything. OK?
I'll trade at the main gate...
This door...for pavilion use only.
This is Pavilion business, big guy.
How so?
I'm not just any scab, you iknow.
I'm Mel.
You a butcher now too?
Special commission for the Prince.
He gets first look at all my trade.
That's what makes this Pavilion business.
Maybe we should sample your trade, see if it's worthy of the Prince's attention.
I don't think the Prince would appreciate that.
But...
Butttt....
I do have something even better for you two.
Ta da!
Thanks.
Ooh, ooh, ooh! We're in time for the lesson. Come on!
[Gong! Gong!]
Technology!
Technology is our curse.
Technology was our downfall.
We thought we were the pinnacle of nature.
The crowning achievement of all creation.
And for our pride an hubris, God gave us the gift of technology.
Let us destroy ourselves.
Technology fucked up the air!
...the water! ...the soil!
Technology fucked with our heads and fucked with our lives!
Technology spread its foul breath all over this planet and we pleaded and begged for more!
Then came...the blessed event.
The Big Burn set us free!
Free from computers and televisions!
Radios and internets!
No more noise all day and lights all night!
Fat an lazy people with fat and lazy dreams!
We are free...to start again from the bottom.
People...if you don't believe we're at the bottom then take a look around.
Today's moral...is the story of Adam and Eve.
Set.
This....
...isn't safe.
She's a real....
?
Thus ended the lesson.
Can't even remember what he said, can you?
No.
Umm...I don't know...
...excited...I just...
...felt it.
It's always like that.
You know I have to see the Prince.
Umm...Just stay here. I'll be back in a while.
Prince?!
Can I come with you?
You'll see him soon enough.
Watch the show. [Laughs]
Welcome back young Mel.
The Prince has long awaited your return.
Thank you, Bazier.
I've brought my trade.
Most excellent....
Mel!
My favorite scab has returned to the fold!
Come here!
My Prince.
Vanish!
Shoo!
Alright. Formalities out of the way.
C'mon show me the goodies!
Yes sir!
You know...
You've been gone so long....I began to worry.
Should be angry with you.
I'm sorry, my Prince.
Yeah, well.
How long you stayin'?
As long as you like!
You know, I'm completely at your service.
Well. Rules are rules.
And you've been in the city.
Belloch with the serpant...
You must be cleansed.
Yes, I do.
Ah...so.
Goodman!
This sinner has the stink of technology on her!
Take her to the altar and purge her of it.
Fucking your ass? Fucking my ass!
Go ahead. Pick a hole.
Oh! That one!
What do I have to do to keep you in my pussy? There we go.
Fuck me! There you go.
Get in there deep!
I'm pretty sure a girl like me can take a whole lot more than this!
Cleanse your little sinner!
Fuck me until I'm nice an clean!
Did we punish her or did she punish us?
You didn't punish me. You cleansed me.
I'll take the sunglasses...the golf balls...and the Audioslave CD.
I thought we'd arrange a suite for Mel for the duration of her stay.
Yes my Prince.
You get away from me and you come here?
Are you stupid?!
Get your hands off me!
Fucking pig!
Shh! Calm the fuck down!
Or I'll break your arms and sell you damaged.
What is the grievance?!
You know there's no squabbling within these walls, Butcher!
No trouble. This girl is mine.
And I'm taking her.
I'm not yours, you fucking cocksucker.
Bull piss!
I collected this cow fair and square in the city.
And some filthy, fucking scav cut her loose half way here!
Calm. Calm children! Calm!
I assume you marked her.
Show me your body, child.
I didn't mark her.
I was hoping to sell her to the Prince.
An ill-conceived gamble.
You have no claim to her.
Move along.
Hey! Sooner or later...
You're gonna have to leave this camp.
And I'll be waiting for you.
Prince Amir gave us a suite!
I told you I was his favorite!
What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm fine.
A suite?
That's awesome!
Hopefully they'll have fresh rat in room service.
We don't have that kind of money.
Well...here we are!
Can we get water in this?
Right now!
As you wish my child.
Thank god!
I can't believe you're still asleep!
Wake up!
We're rich!
I was having the most bizarre dream.
Lucky?
Huh. I never have a dream.
You have to sleep to dream.
Hmm.
[Knock. Knock.]
Excuse me children.
His Lord, Prince Amir, requests your presence at dinner this evening.
Clothes! We need clothes!
Give your full names.
It's the law.
Melinda Lucas, Scav.
Samantha Alexander.
She's a solo.
The Prince's guests: Melinda Lucas, Scavenger and Samantha Alexander, solo.
My Prince!
This is my new friend, Sam.
Nice to meet you. My name is Samantha Alexander.
[Laughs]
All right, give the damn benediction already. I'm hungry!
Ladies, you sit here on my right hand.
And you my friend, sit right here.
[Screams]
Kasan!
Melinda!
Do we have a problem here?
No problem, Sir.
No.
No problem at all, my Prince. Good.
Then in lieu of having you both skinned alive...
...I suggest we have dinner instead.
And I will forget that you brandished weapons at my table.
My apologies, my Lord. Don't mention it.
Bazzier.
[bell rings]
We give praise this night to that which sustains us.
Praise the mother and the farmer and the fisherman.
Praise them.
We give scorn this night to that which brought us low.
Cursed be the TV and the DVD and the internets.
Curse them!
Cursed be the Gates and the Jobs and the Lennox.
Curse them!
Blessed be the Elysium Fields.
And blessed be our savior, Prince Amir.
So, Samantha Alexander without a tribe.
This is your first time in Elysium?
Yes Prince.
Well, how do you find it?
I just followed Mel.
[Laughs]
Yeah, of course, turn left at Greenland.
If you all would please excuse us.
Oh!
Excuse us.
That bastard just stole our girl.
She's not stolen. She's lost!
Prince!
To thieves and scoundrels.
I wanted you to see this.
What happened to all that 'technology is the devil' crap?
Yeah, thats for the plebs.
You know, "Bow!"..."Yield!"..."Kneel!"
Frankly...it's exhausting!
Why'd you want to show me this?
Well, Samantha.
You're the second Alexander I've encountered.
I think you'll recognize the first.
How'd he....?
I don't understand.
Samantha your father was a fool!
His greatest mistake...
...It was the turning point of my life!
How much do you know about what happened?
Everything!
I was there.
But you're so young?
I was 33 when the burn hit.
That was 42 years ago.
I'll be 76 this April.
Not that anyone still uses that calendar.
You see...
Most people died within a few days of the event.
I was sick for 2 weeks.
When I recovered...
...the Burn had given me my powers of persuasion.
And...my nearly eternal youth.
Society crumbled.
And I recast myself as humanity's leader.
I became...Amir.
What does it mean?
Amir is a ruler or prince.
So your name is "prince prince".
Well, it was David. Which do you prefer?
This bottle...is empty.
You're about as clever as you are handsome.
Wench!
A bottle!
[screams]
[Spanking and screaming]
What?!
You wanna steal this one too?
No. Give me her hands.
[Laughter and spanking]
Your father survived the Burn.
He'd realized what he'd done and gathered every scientist he could find to understand and learn from it.
What happened?
Well he discovered that the Zero Point Energy...
...changed the frequency of the earth's magnetic shield.
For a nanosecond.
Gravity ceased to exist.
Is that even possible?
Well, apparently.
The result was some new kind of radioactivity that killed most everything above ground.
Also, we couldn't transmit electricity more than a few feet anymore.
Why didn't they just try to fix it?
Well, he really didn't get a chance.
About a year after the event, your father's group was found out.
And crucified by an angry mob.
How do you know all this?
Because Samantha...
...I was the leader of that mob.
Please stick it in, please.
[sounds drunk] Oh it's OK, Sam.
The Prince is really...
...really...
...picky.
[Crying] It's not the Prince.
[Sam crying] Mel: Hugely, hugely picky
Sooo....
picky!
[crying] It's not it.
My dad made this!
All of this!
The Big Burn!
It was his fault!
[Italian music playing]
Daddy, what's the counter for?
It means time's up.
Time's over.
No more time.
What will happen when it stops.
Something bad happens doesn't it.
See for yourself.
[alarm sounds]
Your presence is requested by the Prince.
OK.
I'll get up.
I'll get dressed.
No child, not you.
Just her.
I was just checking email.
That's not funny.
You've been thinking about me, haven't you?
Yeah.
I think I want to kill you.
I think you're confusing anger with passion.
Samantha.
Look at me.
I think something terrible is going to happen!
There's a timer counting down in my father's lab.
[Crying] I think maybe it's about to explode.
Impossible!
Same reactor can't explode twice.
[Sniffles] Maybe.
Maybe it never went off.
Maybe the Big Burn was just a warm up.
I was there remember?
Besides, how much worse can it get?
I think the best thing for us to do now...
...is to enjoy ourselves while we can.
Yes, my Prince.
You're getting good at this.
What's that?
Being a drunk.
Last night changes nothing.
I expect you to pay for that girl you stole from me.
Oh, I am.
[Crying] Believe me I am.
How do you mean?
This ruined my life!
First she steals the Prince...
..and now I'm probably going to be executed for bringing her here.
Explain yourself.
Don't you know nothing?
Her father blew up the world!
He caused the Big Burn!
What?!
[Crying]
There's nothing you can do for me down there, I'm afraid.
Another gift of the Big Burn.
Proof that god exists, and we live only to make him laugh.
There are other ways you can please me though.
Anything, Prince.
[Claps]
We need to talk!
What is this!
Forgive me, my lord.
But this CREATURE is the spawn of the devil himself!
What?!
Yes, my Prince.
She is the offspring...
...of a scientist!
He caused he Big Burn!
Is this true!
Yes, I can see the guilt on her face!
Oh! No!
Call the Governor!
No! No! No!
My friends....
...this...
...is a black day.
This young woman next to me...
..is a dark spirit in the bosom of our community.
I have been told...that she is the only daughter...
...of a cursed scientist! [She screams "No!"]
That scientist...
...is the very man...
...that caused the Burn!
[Crowd angry]
Yes my friends...
...the serpent herself is in our midst.
Tonight...
...she'll be kept here in the fields for all to see and learn from.
Tomorrow, at dawn,...
...she'll be taken from us and given to the mercies of the desert.
Here ended the lesson.
Take her to the tower.
No! No! No!
[Screams]
Last drink, sinner.
[Coughs]
Let's get out of here.
Before the pumas come.
It seems a shame not to use her at least once.
It is customary.
Forget it.
The Prince said "No".
Besides...
...he's watching.
You don't understand.
The reactor!
It's gonna happen again!
Come back here, you ignorant fucks!
You don't know what you're doing! Come back!
We should've never let her in to begin with.
No. Nothing but trouble.
[Cries]
Come back you fucking assholes!
[Screams]
[Bomb blast]
