Well, the Nest'll take you

For the last part
of the trip, yes.

Then my job's done.

'Cause that ain't gonna work
at all.

If you don't have a radio,
how you gonna help me?

Fallou:
There are people trading
all kinds of things here.

I can take you to them.

But we'll need currency.

Even information
is a commodity.

If I have to steal something,
I will.

You won't have to.

I think I know

We'll go in the morning.
