(Soldier #1) Ben, Tracey, what happened here? (Tracey) It was

Machista. He, he… he… (Mike Kelly) (He holds Tracey) Calm down
Tracey, just take it slow. Ben, can you talk? Who killed your father and
grandfather? (Ben) Machista. I’ll not rest until he’s gone. (Mike)

Machista? Who’s Machista? (Ben) He’s a spirit god who has come back to
kill us all. But I’ve got a plan for him. (Mike) I know you’ve been through a

lot but we have a war to win, remember? Yoshi Kim and the Goza Corp.
(Ben) Who is in command? (Soldier #2) It was your Dad and the Council.

(Ben) Now it’s just the Council. We have to get word to Yoshi Kim to stop
this war. Machista is behind it. (Mike) (They walk down the hill). I can

reach Yoshi, but I don’t know if telling him an Indian god is responsible
for the killing will be such a good idea. (Tracey) We have to tell them the
truth, no matter what.

(Ben) Yeah. Not to mention right now Machista is just our problem. Soon,

he will be a world problem. (Pause). (Mike) OK, I’ll call him on my cellular
phone. (He dials the number. Yoshi picks up). (Yoshi) Yoshi Kim, who is
it? (Mike) Yoshi, it’s me, Mike Kelly. Before you hang up, listen to me.

(Yoshi) What is it Mike? I have a war to run. (Mike) Blackfoot is dead,
killed by the same man or thing I think killed your people. (Yoshi) At

first, I thought it was Pronto, but this was planned and I wonder how
they got so many arms from, Mike. (Mike) From me, I helped them out,

that’s why. Did you think I would let you and your fucking slime just
slaughter these people? (Yoshi) Fuck off and die, Mike. (He hangs up).

(Mike) (Looking at Ben and Tracey). I told you it wouldn’t go over too
well, He’s bent on war. (Ben) He’ll be back calling you once he sees
Machista change shape. If he lives.

Switch to the Reggae band Hex running into a farm.

(Kucklins) Look over here (pointing at the farm house). Let’s go find

help or a phone, something. (Jam Down) Yea, why not, I’m starting to get
hungry anyway. (Junior) Is food all you can think of? We’re someplace in

the middle of world war three and all you can think of is food. I say one
of us should go check out the house, that way we don’t all get trapped.
(Born II) Serious ting. (He’s in a squat position taking a dump). Umph.

I say we all go, that way we stay together. Live and die together, Hex
