Hey, babe.
Hey.Everythingokay?
Ihavetoworkadouble...
It's not safe anymore.
WehavetogetZabi
- out of here.
- I know.
David's right.
We have a very small window
before those Volunteers
youfuckingshotarefound.
Nowisthetimetomove.
They could've
been found already.
They could have
sent scanners out
to cover every square
inch of this place,
setting up roadblocks on
every route out of here.
Weneedtoleave.
- No, we stick to the plan.
- We stay with the radio.
Because it has
done what for us, exactly?
We could hear
from them any day now.
Yeah, or it could
be another month.
Do you really wanna do
this for another month?
Wedon'thaveachoice.
Whataboutthedog,huh?
How long do you think you can
keep that fucking charade up?
Just feeding him
for weeks on end...
We're here because
you trust me, right?
- Yes, of course I trust.
- Right?
Yes.
Thatmeanswestayput.
We are on lock down, which
means no more fishing,
no more praying on the
porch, no more runs,
nomoresmokebreaks.
Wehavebeenwaytoocasual.
Weneedtosticktotheroutine.
I am the only one
who has done this.
SoIneedyoutotrustme.
Thiswillwork.
We just have to
stick to the plan.
What are we going to do
about the barcode on our couch?
You always do this.
You care way too much
about other people.
You need to protect
us and our friends.
Jayyou'rehurtingmyhead.
Youdon'tevenknowhim.
Iknowhe'sbranded.
JustlikeZabi.
What's one more person on this
last run? It's just one more.
Sarah.
Stop.
Youcan'tsaveeverybody.
Icantry.
Ineedtotakeashower.
We had a
no-show for the 3:45 slot.
Just got the go-ahead
to send the authorities
tothataddress.
Come on, dude. It's all right.
Stand up.
Comewithme.
I'm gonna go feed the dog.
I'll be right back
to relieve you.
Okay, just be quick about it
beforeInodoffagain.
Hi.You'reup.
Hey.Howareyoufeeling?
Ifeelokay.
Youhungry?Wantsomecoffee?
Coffee would be
great, actually.
Okay.
- I'm Zahabiya.
- Did you sleep well?
Yeah,Idid,reallywell.
Oddlyenough.
That'sgood.
I'llseeyouinalittlebit.
Hereyougo.
Uh, we don't have any sugar
or milk, actually. Sorry.
It'sfine.
So uh, you're feeling
a little bit better.
That'sreallygood.
Thanks to you, I guess.
Are you in an EMT or
doctor or something?
Or,youwere?
I,Iwasanurse.
I was studying to get my MD
when everything fell apart.
Well, either way, could've
fooled me.
Mm,here,here,here.Easy.
Victims' bodies
have been located,
and Volunteers' families
are being notified.
Continuing to collect
evidence from the scene.
Potential ID of suspect
is being circulated.
I appreciate you
all helping me.
I'll be outta your
space as soon as I can.
I'm sorry for being
such a burden.
You'renotaburden.
So,thisisourradio.
We're waiting on coordinates
from my contacts in Canada.
They're all working to find
us a safe crossing point
togetovertheborder.
Those coordinates will
only come through this.
Sothisradioisourlifeline.
I've done this before
with a few other groups,
but this time we're all
going, to get out for good.
We man the radio in
shifts, all day, all night.
So there's never a
moment when someone
isn'tlisteningtoit.
We could get noticed at
any moment, any day now.
You wanna get the
fuck outta this country?
Obviously a lot of controversy
around the Volunteers.
Uh, you know, today's your
opportunity to try to explain
to our viewers what
you guys represent?
Well, I mean, this is a
group of concerned citizens
who all agree the key to a
healthy society starts at home.
You know, in your neighborhood,
in your communities,
and illegals are still
pouring in with their drugs
and their bombs and
their, their trucks used
- as battering rams...
- TV off.
More stringent
measures must be taken.
What type of measures
are you suggesting?
Well, we need to
start self-policing.
We need to know who
our neighbors are.
We need to protect our
children, our culture,
ourwayoflife.
And eventually, this
organization will have
a Volunteers group
in every major city.
Likea,amilitia?
Imean,itessentially
sounds like you're
building out a militia.
No, I, I wouldn't
jump to that.
We're just trying to embody
the change we wanna see
inourcommunities.
You mean maintain the status
quo in your communities?
It sounds like you
don't want change...
All right, look, you
understood my meaning.
You're, you're
being pedantic now.
Your followers, um,
they have a uniform.
Uh, the, the orange? This
is a uniform? No.
And your members
consist of predominantly
whitemen.
Excuse me, Lori,
we encourage anyone
who believes in
the cause to join.
Now, I can't rightly say
exactly what the breakdown
ofourmemberslooklike.
You know, actually, I can,
I have the figures right here.
This is yeah, actually can,
can we just put this on screen
forourviewers?
As you can see, 89%
of your group polled
identified as avid
gun rights activists.
Yeah. I've seen the
uh, so-called report
you'retalkingabout.
Who uh, did the polling
for that, exactly?
You know, there actually,
there've also been reports
of certain Volunteer factions
being continuously linked
toviolenthatecrimes?
Thosereportsarefalse.
Completelyfabricated.
Do you have any
comments on these numbers?
Idon't.Theyarefake.
Ithink,
You know I, I
think, respectfully,
Ithinkwe'redonetalkinghere.
Did you decide on a name yet?
I've always liked
the name Isko.
Isko?
Mm-hmm.
Idon'tknow.
You kinda seem like
a Justin to me.
Oh,no.Ew,gross.
That is like the least
Filipino name I've heard.
Otherthanlike,Brett.
Who cares? You can be
whatever you wanna be.
Ido.
Don't whitewash me,
girlfriend. I care.
Okay.Okay.
Um, and you studied
to be an architect.
Mm-hmm.
Butnowyouworkasa?
Asauh,projectmanager
at a queer non-profit
organization
thathouseshomeless,LGBTkids.
Uh wow, okay. That
is incredibly specific.
Itis.
And then, you know, we have
to figure out the basic stuff.
You know, birthday, address,
social insurance number,
shitlikethat.
Fine. But I'm
sticking with Isko.
Uh, hey, you should
probably stay off your feet.
No, I've been laying
down for like two days.
Ineedtomove.
Myassiskillingme.
What is going on here?
Whoaretheseguys?
Can'tsleepeither,huh?
Babe. Yeah, I told
him he should be asleep.
Yeah, you, you
should be asleep too.
Quietshift?
Yeah, as always.
Well, up early. Might
as well feed the dog.
Oh,youguyshaveadog?
Oh,Ilovedogs.
Ifyou'restayinghere,
you should probably
learn how to do this too.
Stayclose.Watchyourhead.
What about my water?
Take one of
those water bottles.
Rollitacrossthefloortohim.
Who'sthisfaggot?
If you want your waste
bucket emptied this week,
youwon'tusethatlanguage.
Wehadeverythinglinedup.
The safe house,
the supply chain,
but the location was
compromised when we arrived.
Sarah thought fast. We
ended up here at his house.
Idon'tunderstand.
A Volunteer's
property's a no-fly zone.
They get to keep their
freedom of privacy
as upstanding Americans for
their dedicated service.
Hey, I'm sorry. And you
said, this is his house?
Yeah, we're hiding
in plain sight.
Ohmygod.
I don't know how you haven't
strangled that guy yet.
I wouldn't be able
to help myself.
We're not gonna hurt him, we
just, we need him right now.
Whenweleave,we'lllethimgo.
- I said lockdown, goddammit.
- Get your asses inside.
You want me
to do the check-in?
No,Igotit.
Gabe,checkin.
Gabe, you limp-dick motherfucker,
where the fuck are you?
Checkin.
Tag me in.
Kepttheseatwarmforya.
Thanks.
Take a load off.
We'll be here a while.
How you feeling, babe?
Like I got pistol whipped
in the back of the head.
Did you have David
take another look at you?
Yeah, he says I probably
have a brain hemorrhage.
That'snotfunny.
You know, we still haven't
unload the supplies
from the truck,
including the ibuprofen
youclearlyneedSarahbear.
Weshouldn'triskit.
It's been nearly two days.
We haven't heard
peep on the radio.
Weneedthosesupplies...
- Jay.
- And I need my hot sauce.
Please, you're hurting
the head, again.
I'm going.
Feeding an extra mouth is a
burden that we do not need.
You are so paranoid.
I am not paranoid,
I'm cautious.
You always get like
this with new people.
No,Idon't.
Yes you do. You get closed
off and paranoid and grumpy.
He is not a new person,
David, he's a total stranger.
He's branded, and we are
trying to get out just like him.
I'm just saying, be cautious
with the guy, all right?
Stopbeingallchummyandshit.
This plan is complicated
enough as it is
without having some
unvetted gay guy
piggybacking his way across
the border on our dime.
Jesus, now you
sound like them.
Ah,shutup.
Justbenice.
Okay.
We already gave him the
option to come with us.
And,Sarahtrustshim.
So, that should be all
that you need to know.
I love you to death,
David, but you're wrong here.
Hecouldbealiability.
Welp, at least
Sarah got booze.
- Pick your...
- Wanna play spades.
Spades. So,
there's your cards.
Um, spades are trump.
You have to follow suit.
So if someone plays a
heart, you play heart.
If someone plays a
diamond, you play diamond.
You're in teams. So it's
you and Jarret versus...
Andwe'regonnakillit,
- 'cause I have a great hand.
- Me and Zabi.
That'snottrue.
Zabi is one of the great
card sharks of all time.
Didn't know that, did you?
If someone plays a
heart, you gotta play a heart,
if it's diamonds,
let's just play.
Just play, and we'll tell
you when you fucked it up.
All right, starting
off. Here we go.
Threeofclubs.
- Wow, that's powerful.
- A powerful first move.
I hope everyone's
paying attention.
Okay,kid'sgotmoves.
Dancethatpainaway,boy.
Go,go,go,go.
- Go, go, go, go.
- Yes.
Oh.
Youokay?
Huh?
What'reyoudoing?lt'searly.
Uh, David. It's
actually really late.
No, it's not
late. Just shut up.
Arjay,drink,hm?
Solemnly
swear to always hold hate
inmyheartforniggers,spics.
Well, I think we
should all just get some rest.
David.
Aren'tyouonradiotonight?
Fuck.
Um,canIswitchwithsomeone?
Withwho?
Icantakeit.
No, you can't. I have
to train you first.
- But, in this place we...
- No, no.
Icanteachhim.Okay?
Yousure?
Yeah, why don't
you get some rest.
Okay. Be nice.
Okay.
Paranoid grumpy.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
Night.
Night.
Let'sgo.
These are our radios.
Our walkie, the CB.
The walkie is always
on channel three.
That'stheVolunteer'schannel.
The CB, you don't fuckin'
touch it. You just listen.
Every 15 minutes you
put an entry in the log.
It keeps you alert and shows
you're not fucking us all
byfallingasleep.
Got it. Uh, what do
I write down, exactly?
Whateveryouwant.
Just make sure it
keeps you awake.
Wecan'tmissthis.
Once we get those coordinates
from Sarah's contacts
we have a one hour
window to make it
to the rendezvous point before
the window closes, for good.
You understand how
important this is?
Yeah,ofcourseIunderstand.
If you were to hear something
tonight, anything tonight,
you write down exactly what
you heard, word for word,
legible,nomistakes.
Okay, so you mean if
I hear the coordinates
or if I hear the
Volunteers again?
Once you write it down,
you move as fast as you can,
andyouwakeusallup,
and we book our asses
to the rendezvous.
Doyouunderstandallthat,bud?
Or do you want me to
write you a manual?
What'syourdeal?
What's yours?
Ialreadytoldyou.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah,youalreadytoldme.
You're just some little kid,
and you're looking to get out.
Aren'tweall?
I don't care one way or
another what your story is, Arjay.
But you were never supposed
to be a part of mine.
Sodonotfuckthisup.
Or you can wave goodbye to your
free ride across the border.
Oh, I thought
you forgot about me.
What'sfordinner?
I was gonna give
this cigarette to you.
LikeIpromisedyesterday.
Until you called my
new friend a faggot.
If you'd like to apologize,
I might reconsider.
Well,heis,isn'the?
Afaggot?No,heisn't.
He'sgay.
I'maMuslim.
You're a white Volunteer
who wants us dead.
No, I don't want you
dead, you're a lady.
Well, maybe the faggot
'cause he's a dude.
I just don't wanna
have to look at you.
'CauseI'mashitskin?
Remember when you
used to call me that?
I never called you that.
Yes, you did. You used
to call me a shitskin.
And you stopped.
Why did you stop?
I definitely never
called you that.
You called me a shitskin
and you saw how it hurt me,
andthenyoustopped.
Itwaseasytostop,wasn'tit?
Took a while to get there,
but we were making progress.
Yeah, we were till
that bald bitch came
andbustedmylipagaintoday.
You know, she doesn't
have to smash my face in
every time she wants me
to do a radio check-in.
Shecouldjustaskmenicely.
I'lltalktoheraboutthat.
It's important we're
civil with each other.
Civil?
Whatthefuckyoutalk?
I'm chained to a post
in my own fucking barn.
Shittin'inabucket!
Civil?
That fuckin' bald cunt's
got some serious rage issues
andshe'stakingitoutonme.
Thewayyoutalktous,
you're not doing
yourself any favors.
Heythere.
Sarahsaidforyoutogotobed.
I'mradio-trainednow.
Areyouokay?
You ever stop to think about
these ideas that you believe
and this cause
that you're behind,
thatmaybeit'sjustallwrong?
What do you mean?
I mean, everything that
the Volunteers do and say,
howitaffectsotherpeople.
Whatifit'sjustwrong?
It's not.
But,whatif?
What kind of pain were
you going through?
When you started believing
everything that you believe?
I don't, I don't know
what you're asking.
I'm just asking, when you
started feeling this way,
whathappenedtoyou?
I think I don't
wanna talk anymore.
Idon'tfeelliketalking.
You gonna give me
that cigarette or not?
You're a really
good dancer, Arjay.
Okay.
It's like, it's
like you don't care
what anyone else
thinks about you.
I don't, or, I try not
to at least.
I wish I was like that.
Hey, what's the matter, David?
I'm,
I'mreallygladyou'rehere.
Why do you think it is
we can't talk about this?
Why do we always get
stuck in the same place?
There'snothingtofigureout.
You don't have to figure
out my fucking brain.
I already told you, I
wanna preserve my culture,
mywayoflife,mycountry.
Yourexistence,peoplelikeyou,
they're actively
replacing my entire race.
That'sjustafact.
It's the largest genocide
this world has ever seen.
You ever stop to think
that that's wrong?
I just, I'm trying to
understand all this rage.
Allowing you to exist is
a threat to the white race.
I hate this fuckin'
conversation.
'Cause you're
afraid of having it.
Shutthefuckup!
Shutthefuckup!
Doyoueverregretit?
Regretwhat?

He can also handle
David, apparently.
I'm glad he knocked
some sense into you.
If you push it like that
again, I'm gonna to lock you

You could've blown
the whole operation.
Okay,okay.Igetit.
Fuck.
Arjay.

Well David, I
think what is insane
is staying some place where
people might attack you
ifyou'reholdingZabi'shand.
Youarebeingparanoid,man.
There's no way that
this can get any worse.
Somebody, someone
will do something.
David, they're

Why don't you tell me what

I wanna take a break.

Thisoperationhasdriedup.
Wearewaitingonaghost.
We promised David and Zabi
that we would get them across
and that is what
we're going to do.
We were positioned as
outpost for nearly three weeks.
Just watching one road
out of the mountains
forTalibanfighters.
During the day it was
burning fucking hot.
Itwasfreezingcoldatnight.
Imean,itjustsucked.
24/7 eyes on the same
stupid fucking road.
Soundsprettyboring.
Yeah, it was more boring
than you could imagine.
Ihadnoideayouserved.
Twotours.
Thankyou.
Forwhat?
Serving. Wanting
to help the world.
I had to feed wife
and kids somehow.
I don't know that I
helped all that much.
Youmusthave.
Thankyouforyourservice.
Well, it's been a long
time since anybody said that.
You remember when we
used to thank the troops
fortheservice?
People even had
stickers and shit.
Yeah, I remember. Feels
like a long time ago now.
Something tells me you
never had a bumper sticker.
Ah,well.
Didn't get much thanks
from ole Uncle Sam either.
What was it
like when you came back?
Couldn'tsleep.
Couldn't find work.
Couldn't get treatment.
Couldn't talk to my wife,
it was fuckin' great.
Whereisshenow?
Idon'tknow.

You know, probably couldn't
put up with me anymore.
Idon'tblameher.
I'msorry.
Well,shithappens.

So all it took you to
chill out was a couple beers?
Should've asked for
one a month ago.
Yeah,wellbaldywould'vejust
cracked it over
my fucking skull.
Please.
Please.
Wecangohome.
We can go home and
start over, you and me.
No,wecan't.
You signed up for this. You
knew what we were getting into.
I'mscared.Okay,Sarah?
I'm really scared and
I want to go home.
Iknow,weallare.
But you cannot
let them see that.
You have to stay
strong for them.
We need to put
our family first.
We don't
have a family anymore.
Wecanstartanewone.
Wealreadydid.
They'reupstairs.
Why did you join?
What, the army?
No, the Volunteers. Was
it after your wife left?
Well,it's,
it's okay if you don't, if
you don't wanna talk about it.
No,it'sokay.
Yeah.
Itwasaftertheyleft.
Becauseyouwere
lonely?
Yeah, I guess I uh, was
a little lonely, yeah.
And you wanted to
protect your country?
Likeyouhaddonebefore.
Yeah.
Fromwho?
People like you.
People like me?
Well,notyou,exactly.
What sort of people then?
Welljust,youknow,uh,
Muslims, foreigners,
illegals types of people.
ButI'maMuslim.
Yeah.Well,yeah.
I wanna protect it from
people like you then.
Just people that
don't belong here.
ButIwasbornhere.
WellIsaid,notyou,exactly.
Butpeoplelikeyou.
So if protecting your
country, your culture,
from people like me means
tracking me everywhere I go
and locking me up,
would you do that to me?
Can we go back to
just talking?
Wearetalking.
Well fuck, let's talk
about something else.
It'skillingmybuzz.
Okay.
Am I the first Muslim
you've ever met?
Course not, I
served in Afghanistan.
But am I the first
Muslim you've ever really,
reallytalkedto?
Youkiddin'me?
I trained Ana recruits outside
the wire for weeks on end.
Iwaswith'emeverysingleday.
I,Iturned'emintosoldiers.
So you must have gotten
close with some of them?
Yeah. Yeah, sure but,
some of 'em were pretty
cool guys, definitely.
Yeah but, good guys or not,
I had to watch my back.
Doyouwantmedead,Gabe?
No, I don't. Of
course I don't.
'Cause those Volunteers
that showed up today,
I'm certain, if they had found
me, they would've killed me.
Youheard'em,didn'tyou?
Iheard'em.
You don't
seem like one of them.
Yeahwell,I'mnot.
Most of those guys are
just a bunch of assholes
playingdressup.
Never served, never
did much of anything.
I don't, I don't
care for most of 'em,
tobehonestwithyou.
But you see what
they're doing,
thepeoplethey'rehurting.
Thosepeople,they'relikeme.
No,Ineverhurtanybody.
But people are hurting
now. People are dying, now.
Now.
I never thought it would
turn into what it did.
NeitherdidI.
I'll tell you one
thing, when I joined,
I definitely didn't
see myself hanging out
inmybarnwithyou.
I never thought I'd be
complicit in locking you up
inyourbarn.
Never thought I'd have
a conversation like this
withaVolunteer.
And I never thought I'd
share a beer with a Muslim.
I never, I never thought
I'd have to leave my home.
Ineverthoughtthat.
I would see my
family blown apart
because a Volunteer placed
a bomb in our mosque.
I didn't know that
happened to you.
Itdid.
I'msorryitdid.
Don't you wish that this
would all just go away?
Imean,wouldn'tthatbenice?
Yeah,itwould.
Idon'tthinkit'stoolate.
I'lldrinktothat.
Yeah, I'm gonna put these
in the fridge next time.
Are you even supposed
to be drinking?
No.Goesagainstmybeliefs.
Fuckyeah.
Finishitoff.
I'llseeyoutomorrow.
I was about
to go do a safety check,
you'vebeengoneforsolong.
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.
Haveyoubeendrinking?
Uh,hadacouplebeers,yeah.
Youdrankwithhim?
Withthedog?
We're not gonna
call him that anymore.
From now on we use
his name, Gabe.
No,wedon't.
I don't wanna use his name.
Why would I wanna use his name?
Whatexactlyisgoingon?
What are you doing
with him, Zabi?
Talking.
I'mtryingtounderstand.
What? What are you
trying to understand?
Why he's such a
piece of shit to us?
He's ignorant and angry,
but he's not entirely bad.
He'sstilla,aperson,David.
No Zabia, no. He's trying
to get into your head.
He'stotallyplayingyou.
YouknowthatI'mright.
Idon'tthinkyouare.
I'm sorry that it makes
you angry, but I don't.
Yeah it, it does
make me angry.
That you are out there in
that barn hour after hour.
What are you trying
to do, convert him?
Youcan't.
There's no middle ground
with the Volunteers.
They see black and
they see white.
You'rewrong.
I talked to him tonight
about my family,
andhesaidhewassorry.
Itwasn'tanact.
Hewasn'tpretending.
Oh,don'tbestupid,please.
He just wants to
get outta that barn.
He's not different than us,
he's just on the other side.
IfIcouldchangehismind.
- If I could change...
- You can't, you can't...
- One person's mind...
- Change his mind.
- Then maybe more people...
- Just stop it, all right?
Stop trying to find his
humanity. He doesn't have any.
I have more reason to
hate him than you do.
Myfamilywasslaughtered.
David, slaughtered,
my entire family.
Ourfamily.
Yeah but I can't bring
myself to hate him.
I need to convince myself
that the world isn't shit,
that there's still
good people in it.
Because if I, if I
don't believe that
then what is the point
of being part of it?
Tellme.
Just...
David, I hope this
correspondence finds you well.
I'mpleasedtoinformyou
that according to
this year's census,
you're eligible to have
your student loan debt
entirely abolished in exchange
for a one-time donation

Hey,hey,it'sokay.

I should be offended or not.
Whythehelldidyoudothat?
Well uh, it just
always made me think
toomuchaboutthatday.
The day that we,
when we found 'em.
Yeah, so?
So I always hated myself
when I thought about it.
Ouch man, now I'm
actually offended.
Why would you hate yourself
for something we did
when we were drunk
and stupid teenagers?
Do you ever think
about that night?
I remember it, if
that's what you mean.
Whatdoyourememberaboutit?
Whywouldyougetitremoved?

Iremember.

- It won't see you.
Every time I look
at that tattoo,
Iwouldthinkofthatnight.
And I would think
about how it ended,
and wonder why it
made me feel so bad.
And then the Volunteer shit
started happening and I was,
andIwas,
I was scared and I just wanted
those feelings to go away.
SoI,Ifuckinggotitremoved.
David.
David,hey.

Hey,Dave.
I love you. But you
are in your head.
Wewerejustkids.
And nobody blamed you for
hiding that part of yourself
when our country
started falling apart.
ButIamreally
not the one that you
gotta talk to about this.
Yeah,yeah,yeah.Iknow.
I'mscared.
I know.
I don't want her
to think less of me.
David,hey,hey.Hey.

Jarretwillneverbelievethat.
Youstillhavetotry.
Iwannaseemyfamilyagain.
If you don't, he's
gonna kill me.
There is a simple
way not to fuck this up
andthatistostayput.
Why do we have to keep
having the same conversation
overandoveragain?
This is not like
your other runs.
Thistime,it'sdifferent.
How?
Thingshavechanged.
These aren't just
groups of fucking zeros
going out, looking
for a good time,
callinginacoupleofillegals.
These are organized
hunters with assault rifles
outforblood.
Yeah well, things have
been escalating for months.
We found a group of people
yesterday trying to cross.
Theybroughtthemtoafield.
Andtheybeatthemtodeath.
They tied them with
chains to their trucks,
to drag them around
this field for hours.
Theylittheirbodiesonfire.
Sarah, they lit
their bodies on fire.
So you're proving
my fucking point.
We just can't, we can't go
running out there like idiots.
Ihadtokick.
Ihadtokickawoman'sfacein
andIhadtolikeit,Sarah.
Ihadtolikeit.
Ineed,
we need to leave tonight and
that is goddamn fucking final.
Okay. Okay. Let's just
calm down a second, okay?
We're all gonna figure this
out together as a group.
Nowjustlisten.
And I know you're not
gonna like this, Jared,
but Gabe, the Volunteer,
he wants to help us.
Don'tevengetmestarted.
Andyou?Youneedtoleave.
David and I have talked,
and you're a liability.
Jarret says that there are
photos of you all over town.
Fromwhere?
Acheckpoint?
I don't know, but you
have to leave, Arjay.
I'msorry.
He is a leech.
We are not getting
rid of anyone.
Yeah,apparentlynot.
We can't even get rid of the
fucking asshole at the barn
becausehe'sbecomeyourbuddy.
Jarret!
Zabi, who's on? No
one's on the radio.
Sarah. Sarah, nobody
is coming to save us.
Nobody.
Canyoujustwakeup?
Jarret.
Fuck it.
Jarret, you wanna
plan, I have one.
Gabe knows how to get us
across the border safely.
He's willing to show us in
exchange for letting him go,
unharmed, which is what
we were planning, right?
Thatwastheoriginalplan.
Hewantstohelpus.
Thismightbeourbestchance.
You can come with us
tonight or you can stay
and you can wait to be dragged
out by a fuckin' chain.
Is that what you
think of me too?
ThatI'maleech.
No,
Arjay,ofcoursenot.
Everything was fine

If I come back with the group

they'll know that
they can trust you.
I'llknowthatIcantrustyou.
I really hope this isn't
the last time I see you.
Arjay'sgone.
Good.
He doesn't wanna
cause any more trouble.
I'm guessing you didn't
kill the Volunteer?
Areyoukiddingme?
Ofcoursenot.
Well then, what are
we gonna do, Zabi?
We can't let him go
tonight when we leave.
He'll just round up the
troops and hunt us all down.
Hewon't.Itrusthim.
Look, come with
me, I'll show you.
He's not the person
that you think he is.
Someone has gotta
take care of this.
Wehavetocoverourtracks.
Can you even see how this
looks right now, David?
You're holding a gun, and
talking about killing someone.
It's seriously
like I don't even know you.
Yeahwell,ithastobedone.
So I don't know
what to tell you.
Go get Jarret.
Tell him to do it.
Sarah. I've packed
all of your things.
I would like you
to come upstairs.
I don't know how to
do this without you.
I don't know how to do
anything without you.
We'vehelpedsomanypeople.

when you are leading us.
Arjay told me
about what happened.
Isittrue?

You, you've always

Why?
Why have you never

There should've been

You didn't give

I've always been

Yeah,last.

I'm glad I waited that whole
extra 20 minutes for you.
Dude, it was the MTA.
You're really not gonna
ever let this go, are you?
If you had been ghosted
as many times as I have,
youwouldn'tletitgoeither.
I don't think you
wanna compare statistics
inthatarea,buddy.
Ohyeah?Tryme.
Let's say, I've been on
more dates that didn't show up
thandid.
Uh, it's just, I'm
usually always wearing this.
So, on a first
date, I don't know.
I'd love to ask the real
assholes why they didn't show up,
butI,Ihavemytheories.
I'msorry,Idon'tunderstand.
I'mMuslim.
Thisisahijab.
Got it. Uh,
sorry, I'm an idiot.
No.
Thankyoufortellingmethat.
And I'm sorry, I still
don't understand.
You didn't wear this on
our first date because?
UmI,Idon'tknow.
It'skindofhardtotalkabout.
I guess I, I haven't
really felt very safe recently
with everything
that's been going on.
So,youwereastranger.
On our first date,
I was nervous.
I, I didn't know what
I was walking into.
You could've been a
Volunteer for all I knew.
What? Do I look like
a volunteer to you?
Well.
No,comeon.
Med school keeps me way too
busy to do any volunteer work.
Last time I ever
volunteered for anything
I think was um, a bake
sale in middle school.
Imadeburntcookies.
Really,reallygreatrecipe.
I can share it with
you if you'd like.
Please.
Yeah.
Doyouwannaputthaton?
Youlook,
sobeautiful.
That's very sweet but,
sometimes people look at
me and they only see this,
thisonething.
Sometimes I know that they
don't like me because of it.
I met you and for a
split second I thought
this would just all
be so much easier
if I wasn't Muslim,
which is horrible, but...
Soyouhidit.
I thought that I could
not hide this part of myself
but just delay you knowing
about it until I felt,
safe.
I don't know, it
sounds stupid but,
I, I haven't been
wearing it recently.
You don't have to hide that
part of yourself from me.
You don't have to
hide anything with me.
Okay.
Thankyou.
Iwon't.
Because uh, I'd like
to keep seeing you,
if that's something
that's interesting to you.
Areyousure?
Timesarechanging.
People will look at us,
my parents included.
Fuck'em.
Notyourparents,ofcourse,no.
I will win them
over easy enough.
Oh yeah? Are you
ready to convert?
Oh,easy.Onestepatatime.
Okay,then,holdmyhand.
This is my country,
my damn country.
Give me my country,
you can keep the rest.
This is my country,
my damn country.
And it don't mean a thing
if it don't past the test.
I'm drawn like a moth
to the neon lights
I need a bucket of beer
and someone to fight.
Don't call yourself country
if your music is shitty.
Or this Carolina boy'll
take you down to Fist City.
You know who you are, I
ain't gonna name names.
Just keep your
hands off my country.
And go back from where ya came.
This is my country,
my damn country.
Give me my country,
you can keep the rest.
This is my country,
my damn country.
And it don't mean a thing
if it don't pass the test.
If you can't sing along
to Tear In My Beer.
Thendon'tforgetyourcoat.
