History of Evil (2024) Movie Script

[]
RADIO ANNOUNCER 1:
Tense and violent scenes
are coming out of Washington,
Texas,
and Oregon
as The Resistance takes control
and attempts to hold protests
and riots
against the ruling of...
TV COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER:
Don't be a cup.
Power up with a touchdown.
The most advanced steroid system
on the market.
RADIO ANNOUNCER 2:
We are breaking news
at the top of the hour.
Political terrorist,
Allegra Diah Rodriguez
escaped from Evan Detention
Center in Louisiana.
An internal investigation
has begun
as prison officials try
to ascertain
if Rodriguez was assisted
by someone working inside
the prison,
who perhaps might have been
sympathetic
to the so-called Resistance.
Allegra Rodriguez rose
to popularity
following the
North American Federation's
prolonged conflict with Mexico,
publishing a number
of disgusting articles
and leading demonstrations
that were frankly un-American.
Despite his federal ban
18 months ago,
Rodriguez's manifesto
is still circulating on the
dark web and is credited
with transforming hundreds
of law-abiding citizens
into political extremists.
As authorities launch
a nationwide manhunt
for the fugitive,
the Supreme Court has ruled
that the State will move forward
with the number
of executions planned
for some of
Rodriguez's co-conspirators.
State-sponsored militia are
working alongside
North American Federation police
in an effort
to locate Rodriguez,
so she can be brought
to justice.
Authorities encourage
NAF citizens
to contact them immediately
should she be spotted.
Rodriguez is considered
to be armed and dangerous.
God Bless America.
[]
Good luck.
[Allegra sobs]
Hi. Hi.
[cries]
Do you remember me?
Come here.
RON:
Go on, honey. Come on.
Give your mommy a hug.
Wow...
Hi Benny.
Hi! [chuckles]
Oh, I missed you.
Allegra Diah Rodriguez,
nice to finally meet you.
ALLEGRA:
Trudy, right?
Told me all about you, girl.
[sighs]
Heard you're a real pain
in the ass.
ALLEGRA:
They were'nt wrong.
[chuckles]
Oh...
Did you grab my stuff?
Just a notebook.
Gotta stay off the grid.
No electronics.
Two ankle tags
for you and Daria.
Put those on.
Check point coming up.
And what if I can't breathe?
It's just like we practiced
at home, bumblebee.
Count down from a hundred
by seven.
100, 93.
- 86.
- RON: That's good.
Silent voice, baby.
ALLEGRA:
Does that feel okay?
I don't wanna do it.
We don't have a choice.
Get into position. We're here.
No!
Daria, please!
Daddy's right here.
- Be a good girl.
- Daria,
I need you to help mommy
out right now, please.

Scan your index finger

Alright, open the back.
Who you taking?
Adult female Amanda Wilson.
Child female Lucy Wilson.
[indistinct announcement
in background]
Lucy Wilson.
Must feel great knowing

Appreciate that.
Eradication is conservation,
my brother.
Hang tight.
ANNOUNCER 1:
All travelers accessing

Stay vigilant or...
Oh, she's a convert.

Hey!
[indistinct shouting]
[man cries]
Amanda Wilson.
Alright, they're good.
MILITARY GUARD 1:
Alright then.
Fascist pigs.
We're gonna be okay.
Pull in here.
[]
TRUDY:
We're gonna have to walk
from here.
- How's that safe?
- Hey Benny!
Ain't nothing about
this is safe.
Put that on.
I'm hungry.
You can eat when we get there, kiddo.
I'll kill for a ice-cold beer.
Make that two ice-cold beers.
What about you, bumblebee?
I want my leftover pizza
from last night.
[chuckles]
Well, I bet it's still
in the microwave back home.
Down, down, down, down!
[]
What are these for?
I don't know.
Come on.
RON:
Ugh! Gross.
TRUDY:
We have two bottles
of water to hold us over
until the extraction team
can get us out.
Two bottles?
TRUDY:
We'll have to ration it.
Gross!
Oh, this just keeps getting
better and better.
Base, this is T.
Over.
MAN 1:
T, goddammit!
It's good to hear your voice.
You guys get in okay?
Over.
Landed safely. Over.
MAN 1:
Glad to hear it.
We're on our way.
All the major highways are
starting to open up again,
so, we're looking
at ETA at 24 hours, alright?
Over.
TRUDY:
We'll be here. Over.
Before I leave you,
some basic house rules.
Under no circumstances
should you leave the house.
While you're sleeping,
the lights need to be off.
You wanna know why
this place was selected
to hide such
an important individual?
Because people are terrified
of it.
Found the water pump.
Hey Daria, you sure you don't
wanna come sleep with us?
Hmm?
We'll make it nice
and cosy for you.
Hm?
You have mommy now.
- Sweetheart...
- RON: No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
Me, you, and mommy,
we are one unit.
Okay?
You know what that means, right?
Yeah, family.
RON:
Yeah, that's right.
Positive zone.
Pshhh.
Phew.
This is a five-year-old
school lunch.
It's definitely better
than the crap I was eating.
You want some cheese, Benny?
He doesn't like cheese.
What does he like?
Carrots.
Come here. Come here, boy.
Oh-- Oh, that's a good boy.
- Rubbery cheese, smell of death.
- [Allegra chuckles]
- Poop water.
- [Daria chuckles]
We'll make the best of it, right?
DARIA:
Poop water. [chuckles]
Poopy water.
[Daria chuckles]
I know this sucks,
but it's just one night.
It's just one night...
- Mm.
- To fall for you.
No. I didn't know it could be
true.
But I just can't help
this feeling.
Oh, it's... [chuckles]
Oh, that's that song
that played on our first date
on that jukebox.
What's a jukebox?
ALLEGRA:
It's a vending machine
for music.
What's a vending machine?
Come here.
You curious little kid.
I missed you.
Why don't you call it a night?
I've to catch up
on all this work
when I get to base camp.
Really, I should be out there
fighting.
I feel like such a coward.
RON:
Well, you have a family now.
You're not a 20-year-old
activist anymore.
I feel useless.
I have nothing to focus on.
RON:
Well, you have Daria.
Why don't you focus on her?
DARIA:
Two!
ALLEGRA:
Yeah.
Six!
Let's do it one more time.
Five.
How are you getting them all?
The boy is helping me.
What boy?
The one standing behind you.
Come on, bedtime.
Why was your picture
on the billboard?
Daddy didn't tell you?
Okay.
Well...
mommy wrote a book
that made a lot
of people very angry.
Which people?
People in power.
Are you going back to the jail?
Is that what youre
worried about?
I'm here, with you.
Promise.
You know, it's not easy leaving
all your friends.
You're handling it really well.
Proud of you.
Daddy says I'm a tough girl.
You are.
Wow.
[Allegra chuckles]
[grunting]
How's it looking?
[grunts]
Filter was bad.
This should give us
some clean water.
Oh, come on!
[grunts]
Here, hand me that flathead.
Alright.
Let's give it a shot.
Come on.
- TRUDY: Oh, yeah.
- Boom!
ALLEGRA:
Hey!
[chuckling]
Hey, hey. [chuckles]
RON:
Clean water.
- TRUDY: Here we go.
- Oh.
Say, thank you daddy.
DARIA:
Thank you, daddy.
ALLEGRA:
Yes.
Crystal clear.
TRUDY :
Hmm.
- Here you go.
- TRUDY: Alright.
RON:
Hm, alright.
See what's up?
What the hell is this?
[taking deep breaths]
Oh my God.
Fuck that thing.
It's not the hood
that bothers me.
It's the animals that wear it.
[]
ALLEGRA:
Daria.
RON:
Hey! Come here!
Daria!
ALLEGRA:
Daria!
Never do that again!
ALLEGRA:
Look at me!
This is not a toy!
RON:
Right, hey.
Go to your room.
She's 6.
You cut her some slack,
for Christ's sake.
She needs to know this is wrong.
Yeah, well, she doesn't respond
well to yelling.

[indistinct whisperings]
NARRATOR:
Cain's Bonafide Apple Pie.
Using only 100% pure
white Cain sugar.
Combine seven or eight cups
of sliced apples.
Half a cup of 100% Cain's
pure white sugar.
One stick of salted butter.
And arrange in Cain's
original pastry shell.
You'll be screaming for more.
[]
[]
Ron?
Ron?
Benny?
Trudy?
Trudy?
Trudy?
Hey.
ALLEGRA:
Benny got out.
Wait, maybe he got out.
Why is the door open?
I don't know.
Stay inside.
Benny?
I'm sorry.
[Allegra sighs]
Where's Benny?
ALLEGRA:
Benny got out.
RON:
How did that happen?
Door was left wide open.
I didn't see him outside.
RON:
Give me the goggles.
I'm gonna go look.
Nobody's going outside.
Yes, I am.
No, you're not.
It's not safe.
Stop talking to me
like I'm a child.
I'm not.
MAN 2:
These so-called
Resistance members
have manufactured a crisis
to rationalize the violence
they unleashed
on good old Americans,
and it's total bull.
But we must remain vigilant.
Freedom is always
one generation away
from being taken from us.
Don't touch that dial.
We're just getting started.
MAN 3:
Don't be a tuck.
Power up with
the tough stuff.
The most advanced steroid
system on the market today.
MAN 1:
T, this is Base. Over.
T, this is Base.
Do you copy? Over.
What's the status? Over.
MAN 1:
We are n-- [static on radio]
Can't hear you. Say again.
Over.
Go again. Over.
MAN 1:
We are negative
for extraction.
NAF has checkpoints
all the way up
to the Canadian border.
Pine Creek is fucked.
There are protests about
the executions.
It's just-- it's too risky right
now. Over.
Figure out a way
to get us as scheduled.
Hey, I have a 6-year-old here.
We're not waiting any longer.
Can you re-route us?
Over.
MAN 1:
Resistance open up...
[static on radio]
[indistinct speech]
Over.
Radio back with an ETA
when you have one.
Over.
RON:
Dammit!
I say we take our chances
and get out of here.
Maybe one of your crew can
navigate us through the back
roads.
I'm not looking to get
into a gamble.
RON:
We don't know how long
it'll take.
- Unless you have a better idea.
- It's gonna take them--
RON [OS/ON]:
What, we're just gonna sit here?
We have no idea.
It could be weeks.
We could be waiting here.
We-- I'm not gonna wait here.
Unless we have a better idea,
I say we wait.
Would you listen to me?
Unless you have a better idea,
we wait here
until it's safe for them
to get us.
This is the only option
right now.
You look tired.
I'm fine.
Trying to send a message
to base camp.
Okay.
Base camp, this is T.
We need to dispatch a message
from Luxembourg.
Over.
MAN 1:
Uh, copy that T.
Comms are go.
We are ready to receive.
Over.
This is Luxembourg.
A quick update.
As many of you know by now,
I am out
of even political prison,
with the help of The Resistance.
We are in
an undisclosed location
with my husband and daughter.
We will be relocating
to base camp
where we will continue
the fight.
Please keep organizing,
keep resisting.
We are strong in numbers.
RON:
You okay?
Can't sleep.
RON:
Well, you're probably
just a little anxious.
Hey, positive zone.
[making fusing noise]
ALLEGRA:
Hey.
RON:
You sure, you don't wanna come
sleep with us?
Okay.
Alright. Well, look,
why don't you lay down.
Come on, lay down.
Okay.
And try the-- the counting
thing that we talked about.
Okay.
100, 93,
79, 71,
RON:
Perfect.
Okay, keep going.
ALLEGRA:
Good night.
58,
51,
[]
I don't have any money
And I don't have bills
to pay
I broke some law
[indistinct lyrics]
But I like it that way
I don't have...
Hey.
Good to see you.
Cain.
I will keep my sweetheart,
'cause i like it that way
Ron.
CAIN:
I have something
for you in a minute.
But first,
take this up
to the room in the hallway.
Slide it through the slider.
You want some?
Marriage is a slog, ain't it?
I was in love with my wife.
Till I wasn't.
Is that who's locked
in that room?
CAIN:
Yeah, that's her.
Cunt tried to turn my own son
against me.
Why?
Her and Steven think I'm wrong.
Trying to protect the culture.
Would you like a slice
of pie, Ron?
[]
I'm okay.
No, you're not.
Come on.
Sit down.
Come on, sit down.
That's Cain's bona fide
apple pie.
Don't get no better
than that.
[slurps]
[munching]
That old black woman.
Her and your wife despise men
like us.
You ever hear the stories
of Br'er Rabbit?
I loved Br'er Rabbit
when I was a kid.
Br'er Rabbit
and Br'er Fox.
This old black slave
telling these stories
to a little white boy.
I got one sort of like that.
You wanna hear?
Not so long ago,
right out in these woods
right here,
there was a family
of foxes.
Three of 'em,
Mama Fox, Papa Fox,
and their little male pup.
Cute little things.
Father Fox would go out
and hunt.
Bring food to the vixen fox
and her pup every day.
And then one day,
the Mama Fox and the pup
saw this rabbit caught
in a stream, struggling.
Couldn't make it up the bank.
So they stopped
and they helped
the rabbit out.
Saving the rabbit's life.
Instead of helping Papa Fox
hunt more food,
they helped the rabbit.
Papa Fox saw this.
Ate the Mama Fox
and his own pup.
Blood, guts, their hands,
all of it.
Couldn't allow it.
Wasn't really about the rabbit.
How is it?
Best thing I've had in days.
[Cain chuckling]
I should get going.
Huh.
Hey Ron,
don't let your wife
make you less of a man.
They're good at doing that.
[sighs]
[]
ALLEGRA:
Come on, baby.
We gotta go come on.
Come on, hurry.
TRUDY:
Get in the closet.
Daria! Go!
Danny come on, let's go.
Okay.
Dear Heavenly Father, I just
asked that you watch over us
today as we carry out
your work, Lord.
I ask that you keep an eye out
on my men.
And surround us
with Your protecting light.
And lastly Heavenly Father,
I just want to thank you
for the opportunity
to protect this county
from tyranny and from evil.
All God's people said...
- Amen.
- Amen.
Let's go.
Hey guys,
what can I do for you?
Afternoon, sir.
I'm Brad Larkin.
This is Kevin Johnson.
We got Williams.
He's a convert.
And of course,
I got Tyler Miller.
And we're here,
'cause we have reason to believe
a Resistance fugitive
came through.
Don't know 'em.
Well, we think they might
be hiding on your property.
My boys here, well...
they're hungry to capture
and kill one said fugitive.
TYLER:
Hungry is an understatement.
I got a fucking heart on
to kill 'em.
[soldiers chuckling]
- Hm.
- Can I scan your finger?
Yeah.
Dale Thompson.
Alright. We're gonna do a quick
search of the property.
And then we'll be
on our way.
Yeah. Come on in.
We don't usually travel this
far off the grid.
You know, most people
don't even know
houses like this still exist.
Let alone live in 'em.
Well, what makes you think
they came through here?
A drone caught somebody
in the front yard.
Oh.
You know,
when I was in the army,
we used to get glitches
like that all the time
on our devices.
You served?
That's right.
Two tours in the NAF War.
What unit?
First Infantry Six Battalion
Charlie Company.
I bet it was hot in Texas, huh?
You mean Kansas, right?
MAN 1:
T, come in.
T, do you copy? Over.
T, this is ba--
Hey fellas.
I got some company
right here now.
I'll radio you after. Over.
Who's T?
T for Thompson.
You don't really live here,
do you?
This place is a dump.
Hey!
What did I tell you?
Professionalism.
Go search the rest
of the house.
Go.
RON:
How long you guys planning
on being here?
BRAD:
Hmm.
You want us out so fast, huh?
Well,
normally I shoot trespassers
just casually walking up
on my property.
Why didn't you then?
We're on the same side.
[]
You know, there's one place
that we should check.
Come on, I'll show you.
[clears throat]
Shit, man.
You're the real fucking deal.
TYLER:
Sorry about the hassle, brother.
KEVIN:
Respect man.
BRAD:
I get why you're cautious now,
but you don't have to worry
about that with us.
That shit's old school, man.
Let me guess. It was your
granddad or your great granddad?
Yeah.
Yeah, my uh, my granddad.
Alright, man. If you see
anything, let me know.
We'll be on Channel 3.
TRUDY:
Base camp, it's T.
Over.
Base camp, it's T.
Over.
MAN 1:
We're still here.
Still here, T.
Do you copy? Over.
Yes, copy.
We just had militia
come through.
We need you guys to get us out
as soon as it's clear.
Over.
MAN 1:
Shit. Copy that.
Is uh-- is everybody okay?
Over.
TRUDY:
Yeah, we're okay.
Over.
MAN 1:
Good. Listen up.
Extraction team is remobilizing.
Should be to your position
in a day.
Maybe two tops.
We are coming to get you.
Just make sure when we call,
you answer.
Otherwise, the mission is off.
Over.
TRUDY:
We will, over.
Let's hope this is it.
[]
I don't have any money
And I don't have bills
to pay
I broke some laws
[indistinct lyrics]
But I like it that way
CAIN:
Oh.
Good to see you.
I don't have a sweetheart
CAIN:
Come on in
That's a game I don't play
I'm gonna keep my sweetheart
'Cause I like it that way
CAIN:
Have a seat.
But who's gonna date me
Yeah. [sighs]
I like to go forever
[indistinct lyrics]
What do you do exactly?
I build community.
I bring people together
to talk about things,
things that matter.
Our values,
our beliefs.
I help people arrive
at your potential.
What about you, Ron?
How do you see
your full potential?
My full potential is to be
happy in life.
Ron, it's such a lame answer.
Give me something specific,
an example.
Who are you?
What makes you happy?
When I'm in complete
and total control
of every aspect of my life.
Well, there you go, good.
You need to do that.
Be selfish.
Take back your power.
Daria!
RON:
What did you do to her?
ALLEGRA:
Open the door.
RON:
Hey bumblebee!
Open the door.
DARIA:
Leave me alone!
Okay.
We'll be here when you're ready
to come out.
Hey, hey, hey,
what are you doing?
You're just leaving her
and walking away?
God, I'm not leaving her.
She can come out
when she's ready.
Daria, daddy is here with you.
Mommy wants to walk away.
What? Why would you say that?
Just because you have
a certain way of parenting
doesn't mean I have
to do the same thing.
I'm not hurting her
by letting her be in there.
I'm sorry you're upset at us.
We'll be here when you
decide to come out, okay?
Daddy thinks you're upset
because we had to come here,
so mommy doesn't go to jail.
So, why don't you just
come on out
and we can talk about it.
Okay?
[sighs]
It's okay if you're scared.
Mommy's scared, too.
Hey.
Should have never brought you
and Daria here.
Too late.
[]
[labored breathing in distance]
"I do not wish death
for my enemies,
only life for my friends."
[]
CAIN:
It's good to see you, son.
You look tired.
I'm exhausted.
I would be too
if I were in your shoes.
Misplaced your balls.
[chuckles]
Ehm.
You look like a man
with something on his mind.
[sighs]
I think my marriage
is crumbling.
You think?
[sighs]
CAIN:
Remember, you got to take back
your power, Ron.
[chuckles]
- You should be a therapist.
- CAIN: Hmm.
Therapy is horse shit, Ron.
I'm on the side
of the species.
I bring guys like us together.
So, our kind doesn't go extinct.
I never thought of it that way.
[Cain chuckles]
CAIN:
Well, maybe you should.
Spend a little less time
with that water pump.
[laughs]
What?
Nothing.
I'm actually feeling kind
of energized.
I feel like uh,
I don't really know how to--
how to put it, but uh,
I feel like I don't really give
a fuck anymore.
About any of this.
And I feel like I never really
meant anything to you.
Put the fucking knife down.
I am tired of you making me
feel like less of a man.
That felt great to say.
Base, can you copy?
Over.
Base, I need to hear you.
Over.
[Ron hums]
[]
[sighs]
RON:
Allegra, open the door.
[sighing]
[]
I don't have any money
And I don't have bills
to pay
I broke some laws
[indistinct lyrics]
But I like it that way
I don't have a sweetheart
That's a game I don't play
I will keep my sweetheart
'Cause I like it that way
[indistinct lyrics]
[]
CAIN:
Drink up, Ron.
I'm drinking up.
Drink up, drink up, drink up.
The old bastard wants
to go home.
Last chance,
last call to drink
the last drop.
Last call, last chance
to drink the last drop.
The old bastard wants
to go home.
The old lady's waiting.
He'd rather kiss Satan.
The old bastard wants
to go home.
Drink up, drink up, drink up.
The old bastard wants
to go home.
- Home.
- The old lady's waiting.
- He'd rather kiss Satan.
- Drink up, drink up, drink up.
RON:
Drink up, drink up, drink up.
The old bastard wants
to go home.
- Home.
- The old lady's waiting.
He'd rather kiss Satan.
[laughing]
Ah.
The only thing I have
to look forward to in my life
is my daughter.
She's gonna turn out
just like your wife.
Break your fucking heart.
I should get going.
Ron. Ron.
Stay. Don't leave me.
You're only half done.
I have to get back
to my wife.
To do what?
Ron.
What are you gonna do
with your wife?

Oh, put the gun down.

I love you, daddy.

No!

Oh my God.
Oh my God.
[crying]
Oh my God.
It's okay, baby.
Oh my God.

Get inside, get inside.
Hey, go around back.
You all come with me.
[taking deep breaths]
Go check the back.

DANNY:
No, don't see anything.
Guys?
Brad?
Brad?
Guys, do you copy?
[Tyler screams]
Go out the front.
Go out the front.
Ah!
BRAD:
Fuck!
[groans]
ALLEGRA:
Are you okay?
Patch me into the
emergency alert system.
Oh no, no. Don't shoot, okay.
- Fucking do it.
- Are you Tom?
Right now!
Oh, okay.
Okay, go ahead.
Get the fuck out.

[cries]
For generations,
they have used fear
and power
to control us.
Fear of prosecution.
Fear of violence.
Fear of death.
Fear of each other.
But fear will not cripple us.
To those of you listening
who wish to take our lives
from us.
Who wish to silence us.
Separate us.
Know this.
We are many.
And we are strong.

RADIO ANNOUNCER 1:
Tense and violent scenes
are coming out of Washington,
Texas,
and Oregon
as The Resistance takes control
and attempts to hold protests
and riots
against the ruling of...
TV COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER:
Don't be a cup.
Power up with a touchdown.
The most advanced steroid system
on the market.
RADIO ANNOUNCER 2:
We are breaking news
at the top of the hour.
Political terrorist,
Allegra Diah Rodriguez
escaped from Evan Detention
Center in Louisiana.
An internal investigation
has begun
as prison officials try
to ascertain
if Rodriguez was assisted
by someone working inside
the prison,
who perhaps might have been
sympathetic
to the so-called Resistance.
Allegra Rodriguez rose
to popularity
following the
North American Federation's
prolonged conflict with Mexico,
publishing a number
of disgusting articles
and leading demonstrations
that were frankly un-American.
Despite his federal ban
18 months ago,
Rodriguez's manifesto
is still circulating on the
dark web and is credited
with transforming hundreds
of law-abiding citizens
into political extremists.
As authorities launch
a nationwide manhunt
for the fugitive,
the Supreme Court has ruled
that the State will move forward
with the number
of executions planned
for some of
Rodriguez's co-conspirators.
State-sponsored militia are
working alongside
North American Federation police
in an effort
to locate Rodriguez,
so she can be brought
to justice.
Authorities encourage
NAF citizens
to contact them immediately
should she be spotted.
Rodriguez is considered
to be armed and dangerous.
God Bless America.
[]
Good luck.
[Allegra sobs]
Hi. Hi.
[cries]
Do you remember me?
Come here.
RON:
Go on, honey. Come on.
Give your mommy a hug.
Wow...
Hi Benny.
Hi! [chuckles]
Oh, I missed you.
Allegra Diah Rodriguez,
nice to finally meet you.
ALLEGRA:
Trudy, right?
Told me all about you, girl.
[sighs]
Heard you're a real pain
in the ass.
ALLEGRA:
They were'nt wrong.
[chuckles]
Oh...
Did you grab my stuff?
Just a notebook.
Gotta stay off the grid.
No electronics.
Two ankle tags
for you and Daria.
Put those on.
Check point coming up.
And what if I can't breathe?
It's just like we practiced
at home, bumblebee.
Count down from a hundred
by seven.
100, 93.
- 86.
- RON: That's good.
Silent voice, baby.
ALLEGRA:
Does that feel okay?
I don't wanna do it.
We don't have a choice.
Get into position. We're here.
No!
Daria, please!
Daddy's right here.
- Be a good girl.
- Daria,
I need you to help mommy
out right now, please.

Ain't nothing about

Put that on.
I'm hungry.
You can eat when we get there, kiddo.
I'll kill for a ice-cold beer.
Make that two ice-cold beers.
What about you, bumblebee?
I want my leftover pizza

Down, down, down, down!

What are these for?
I don't know.
Come on.
RON:
Ugh! Gross.
TRUDY:
We have two bottles

Two bottles?
TRUDY:
We'll have to ration it.
Gross!

T, goddammit!
It's good to hear your voice.
You guys get in okay?
Over.
Landed safely. Over.
MAN 1:
Glad to hear it.
We're on our way.
All the major highways are
starting to open up again,
so, we're looking
at ETA at 24 hours, alright?
Over.
TRUDY:
We'll be here. Over.
Before I leave you,
some basic house rules.
Under no circumstances
should you leave the house.
While you're sleeping,
the lights need to be off.
You wanna know why
this place was selected
to hide such
an important individual?
Because people are terrified
of it.
Found the water pump.
Hey Daria, you sure you don't
wanna come sleep with us?
Hmm?
We'll make it nice
and cosy for you.
Hm?
You have mommy now.
- Sweetheart...
- RON: No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
Me, you, and mommy,
we are one unit.
Okay?
You know what that means, right?
Yeah, family.
RON:
Yeah, that's right.
Positive zone.
Pshhh.
Phew.
This is a five-year-old
school lunch.
It's definitely better
than the crap I was eating.
You want some cheese, Benny?
He doesn't like cheese.
What does he like?
Carrots.
Come here. Come here, boy.
Oh-- Oh, that's a good boy.
- Rubbery cheese, smell of death.
- [Allegra chuckles]
- Poop water.
- [Daria chuckles]
We'll make the best of it, right?
DARIA:
Poop water. [chuckles]
Poopy water.
[Daria chuckles]
I know this sucks,
but it's just one night.
It's just one night...
- Mm.
- To fall for you.
No. I didn't know it could be
true.
But I just can't help
this feeling.
Oh, it's... [chuckles]
Oh, that's that song
that played on our first date
on that jukebox.
What's a jukebox?
ALLEGRA:
It's a vending machine
for music.
What's a vending machine?
Come here.
You curious little kid.
I missed you.
Why don't you call it a night?
I've to catch up
on all this work
when I get to base camp.
Really, I should be out there
fighting.
I feel like such a coward.
RON:
Well, you have a family now.
You're not a 20-year-old
activist anymore.
I feel useless.
I have nothing to focus on.
RON:
Well, you have Daria.
Why don't you focus on her?
DARIA:
Two!
ALLEGRA:
Yeah.
Six!
Let's do it one more time.
Five.
How are you getting them all?
The boy is helping me.
What boy?
The one standing behind you.
Come on, bedtime.
Why was your picture
on the billboard?
Daddy didn't tell you?
Okay.
Well...
mommy wrote a book
that made a lot
of people very angry.
Which people?
People in power.
Are you going back to the jail?
Is that what youre
worried about?
I'm here, with you.
Promise.
You know, it's not easy leaving
all your friends.
You're handling it really well.
Proud of you.
Daddy says I'm a tough girl.
You are.
Wow.
[Allegra chuckles]
[grunting]
How's it looking?
[grunts]
Filter was bad.
This should give us
some clean water.
Oh, come on!
[grunts]
Here, hand me that flathead.
Alright.
Let's give it a shot.
Come on.
- TRUDY: Oh, yeah.
- Boom!
ALLEGRA:
Hey!
[chuckling]
Hey, hey. [chuckles]
RON:
Clean water.

- Oh.
Say, thank you daddy.
DARIA:
Thank you, daddy.
ALLEGRA:
Yes.
Crystal clear.
TRUDY :
Hmm.
- Here you go.
- TRUDY: Alright.
RON:
Hm, alright.
See what's up?
What the hell is this?
[taking deep breaths]
Oh my God.
Fuck that thing.
It's not the hood
that bothers me.
It's the animals that wear it.

ALLEGRA:
Daria.
RON:
Hey! Come here!
Daria!
ALLEGRA:
Daria!
Never do that again!
ALLEGRA:
Look at me!
This is not a toy!
RON:
Right, hey.
Go to your room.
She's 6.
You cut her some slack,
for Christ's sake.
She needs to know this is wrong.
Yeah, well, she doesn't respond
well to yelling.

Wait, maybe he got out.
Why is the door open?
I don't know.
Stay inside.
Benny?
I'm sorry.
[Allegra sighs]
Where's Benny?
ALLEGRA:
Benny got out.
RON:
How did that happen?
Door was left wide open.
I didn't see him outside.
RON:
Give me the goggles.
I'm gonna go look.
Nobody's going outside.
Yes, I am.
No, you're not.
It's not safe.
Stop talking to me
like I'm a child.
I'm not.
MAN 2:
These so-called
Resistance members
have manufactured a crisis
to rationalize the violence
they unleashed
on good old Americans,
and it's total bull.
But we must remain vigilant.
Freedom is always

from being taken from us.
Don't touch that dial.
We're just getting started.

Pine Creek is fucked.
There are protests about
the executions.
It's just-- it's too risky right
now. Over.
Figure out a way
to get us as scheduled.
Hey, I have a 6-year-old here.
We're not waiting any longer.
Can you re-route us?
Over.
MAN 1:
Resistance open up...

[indistinct speech]
Over.
Radio back with an ETA
when you have one.
Over.
RON:
Dammit!
I say we take our chances
and get out of here.
Maybe one of your crew can
navigate us through the back
roads.
I'm not looking to get
into a gamble.
RON:
We don't know how long
it'll take.
- Unless you have a better idea.
- It's gonna take them--
RON [OS/ON]:
What, we're just gonna sit here?
We have no idea.
It could be weeks.
We could be waiting here.
We-- I'm not gonna wait here.
Unless we have a better idea,
I say we wait.
Would you listen to me?
Unless you have a better idea,
we wait here
until it's safe for them
to get us.
This is the only option
right now.
You look tired.
I'm fine.
Trying to send a message
to base camp.
Okay.
Base camp, this is T.
We need to dispatch a message
from Luxembourg.
Over.
MAN 1:
Uh, copy that T.
Comms are go.
We are ready to receive.
Over.
This is Luxembourg.
A quick update.
As many of you know by now,
I am out
of even political prison,
with the help of The Resistance.
We are in
an undisclosed location
with my husband and daughter.
We will be relocating
to base camp
where we will continue
the fight.
Please keep organizing,
keep resisting.
We are strong in numbers.
RON:
You okay?
Can't sleep.
RON:
Well, you're probably
just a little anxious.
Hey, positive zone.
[making fusing noise]
ALLEGRA:
Hey.
RON:
You sure, you don't wanna come
sleep with us?
Okay.
Alright. Well, look,
why don't you lay down.
Come on, lay down.
Okay.
And try the-- the counting
thing that we talked about.
Okay.
100, 93,
79, 71,
RON:
Perfect.
Okay, keep going.

Good night.

I don't have any money
And I don't have bills

But I like it that way
I don't have...
Hey.
Good to see you.
Cain.
I will keep my sweetheart,
'cause i like it that way
Ron.
CAIN:
I have something
for you in a minute.
But first,
take this up
to the room in the hallway.
Slide it through the slider.
You want some?
Marriage is a slog, ain't it?
I was in love with my wife.
Till I wasn't.
Is that who's locked
in that room?
CAIN:
Yeah, that's her.
Cunt tried to turn my own son
against me.
Why?
Her and Steven think I'm wrong.
Trying to protect the culture.
Would you like a slice
of pie, Ron?
[]
I'm okay.
No, you're not.
Come on.
Sit down.
Come on, sit down.
That's Cain's bona fide
apple pie.
Don't get no better
than that.
[slurps]
[munching]
That old black woman.
Her and your wife despise men
like us.
You ever hear the stories
of Br'er Rabbit?
I loved Br'er Rabbit
when I was a kid.
Br'er Rabbit
and Br'er Fox.
This old black slave
telling these stories
to a little white boy.
I got one sort of like that.
You wanna hear?
Not so long ago,
right out in these woods
right here,
there was a family
of foxes.
Three of 'em,
Mama Fox, Papa Fox,
and their little male pup.
Cute little things.
Father Fox would go out
and hunt.
Bring food to the vixen fox
and her pup every day.
And then one day,
the Mama Fox and the pup
saw this rabbit caught
in a stream, struggling.
Couldn't make it up the bank.
So they stopped
and they helped
the rabbit out.
Saving the rabbit's life.
Instead of helping Papa Fox
hunt more food,
they helped the rabbit.
Papa Fox saw this.
Ate the Mama Fox
and his own pup.
Blood, guts, their hands,
all of it.
Couldn't allow it.
Wasn't really about the rabbit.
How is it?
Best thing I've had in days.
[Cain chuckling]
I should get going.
Huh.
Hey Ron,
don't let your wife
make you less of a man.
They're good at doing that.
[sighs]
[]
ALLEGRA:
Come on, baby.
We gotta go come on.
Come on, hurry.
TRUDY:
Get in the closet.
Daria! Go!
Danny come on, let's go.
Okay.
Dear Heavenly Father, I just
asked that you watch over us
today as we carry out
your work, Lord.
I ask that you keep an eye out
on my men.
And surround us
with Your protecting light.
And lastly Heavenly Father,
I just want to thank you
for the opportunity
to protect this county
from tyranny and from evil.
All God's people said...
- Amen.
- Amen.
Let's go.
Hey guys,
what can I do for you?
Afternoon, sir.
I'm Brad Larkin.
This is Kevin Johnson.
We got Williams.
He's a convert.
And of course,
I got Tyler Miller.
And we're here,
'cause we have reason to believe
a Resistance fugitive
came through.
Don't know 'em.
Well, we think they might
be hiding on your property.
My boys here, well...
they're hungry to capture
and kill one said fugitive.
TYLER:
Hungry is an understatement.
I got a fucking heart on
to kill 'em.
[soldiers chuckling]
- Hm.
- Can I scan your finger?
Yeah.
Dale Thompson.
Alright. We're gonna do a quick
search of the property.
And then we'll be
on our way.
Yeah. Come on in.
We don't usually travel this
far off the grid.
You know, most people
don't even know
houses like this still exist.
Let alone live in 'em.
Well, what makes you think
they came through here?
A drone caught somebody
in the front yard.
Oh.
You know,
when I was in the army,
we used to get glitches
like that all the time
on our devices.
You served?
That's right.
Two tours in the NAF War.
What unit?
First Infantry Six Battalion
Charlie Company.
I bet it was hot in Texas, huh?
You mean Kansas, right?
MAN 1:
T, come in.
T, do you copy? Over.
T, this is ba--
Hey fellas.
I got some company
right here now.
I'll radio you after. Over.
Who's T?
T for Thompson.
You don't really live here,
do you?
This place is a dump.
Hey!
What did I tell you?
Professionalism.
Go search the rest
of the house.
Go.
RON:
How long you guys planning
on being here?
BRAD:
Hmm.
You want us out so fast, huh?
Well,
normally I shoot trespassers
just casually walking up
on my property.
Why didn't you then?
We're on the same side.
[]
You know, there's one place
that we should check.
Come on, I'll show you.
[clears throat]
Shit, man.
You're the real fucking deal.
TYLER:
Sorry about the hassle, brother.
KEVIN:
Respect man.
BRAD:
I get why you're cautious now,
but you don't have to worry
about that with us.
That shit's old school, man.
Let me guess. It was your
granddad or your great granddad?
Yeah.
Yeah, my uh, my granddad.
Alright, man. If you see
anything, let me know.
We'll be on Channel 3.
TRUDY:
Base camp, it's T.

Base camp, it's T.

Still here, T.

Yes, copy.
We just had militia

We need you guys to get us out

Over.
MAN 1:
Shit. Copy that.
Is uh-- is everybody okay?
Over.
TRUDY:
Yeah, we're okay.
Over.
MAN 1:
Good. Listen up.
Extraction team is remobilizing.
Should be to your position
in a day.
Maybe two tops.
We are coming to get you.
Just make sure when we call,
you answer.
Otherwise, the mission is off.
Over.
TRUDY:
We will, over.
Let's hope this is it.

I don't have any money
And I don't have bills
to pay
I broke some laws
[indistinct lyrics]
But I like it that way
CAIN:
Oh.
Good to see you.
I don't have a sweetheart
CAIN:
Come on in
That's a game I don't play
I'm gonna keep my sweetheart
'Cause I like it that way
CAIN:
Have a seat.
But who's gonna date me
Yeah. [sighs]
I like to go forever
[indistinct lyrics]
What do you do exactly?
I build community.
I bring people together
to talk about things,
things that matter.
Our values,
our beliefs.
I help people arrive
at your potential.
What about you, Ron?
How do you see
your full potential?
My full potential is to be
happy in life.
Ron, it's such a lame answer.
Give me something specific,
an example.
Who are you?
What makes you happy?
When I'm in complete
and total control
of every aspect of my life.
Well, there you go, good.
You need to do that.
Be selfish.
Take back your power.
Daria!
RON:
What did you do to her?
ALLEGRA:
Open the door.
RON:
Hey bumblebee!
Open the door.
DARIA:
Leave me alone!
Okay.
We'll be here when you're ready
to come out.
Hey, hey, hey,
what are you doing?
You're just leaving her
and walking away?
God, I'm not leaving her.
She can come out
when she's ready.
Daria, daddy is here with you.
Mommy wants to walk away.
What? Why would you say that?
Just because you have
a certain way of parenting
doesn't mean I have
to do the same thing.
I'm not hurting her
by letting her be in there.
I'm sorry you're upset at us.
We'll be here when you
decide to come out, okay?
Daddy thinks you're upset
because we had to come here,
so mommy doesn't go to jail.
So, why don't you just
come on out
and we can talk about it.
Okay?
[sighs]
It's okay if you're scared.
Mommy's scared, too.
Hey.
Should have never brought you
and Daria here.
Too late.

CAIN:
It's good to see you, son.
You look tired.
I'm exhausted.
I would be too
if I were in your shoes.
Misplaced your balls.
[chuckles]
Ehm.
You look like a man
with something on his mind.
[sighs]
I think my marriage
is crumbling.
You think?
[sighs]
CAIN:
Remember, you got to take back
your power, Ron.
[chuckles]
- You should be a therapist.
- CAIN: Hmm.
Therapy is horse shit, Ron.
I'm on the side
of the species.
I bring guys like us together.
So, our kind doesn't go extinct.
I never thought of it that way.
[Cain chuckles]
CAIN:
Well, maybe you should.
Spend a little less time
with that water pump.
[laughs]
What?
Nothing.
I'm actually feeling kind
of energized.
I feel like uh,
I don't really know how to--
how to put it, but uh,
I feel like I don't really give
a fuck anymore.
About any of this.
And I feel like I never really
meant anything to you.
Put the fucking knife down.
I am tired of you making me
feel like less of a man.
That felt great to say.
Base, can you copy?
Over.
Base, I need to hear you.

He'd rather kiss Satan.

Ah.
The only thing I have
to look forward to in my life
is my daughter.
She's gonna turn out
just like your wife.
Break your fucking heart.
I should get going.

Stay. Don't leave me.
You're only half done.

Oh my God.

Get inside, get inside.
Hey, go around back.
You all come with me.

Go check the back.

Guys?

Go out the front.

Are you okay?
Patch me into the

Oh no, no. Don't shoot, okay.

[cries]
For generations,
they have used fear
and power
to control us.
Fear of prosecution.
Fear of violence.
Fear of death.
Fear of each other.
But fear will not cripple us.
To those of you listening
who wish to take our lives
from us.
Who wish to silence us.
Separate us.
Know this.
We are many.
And we are strong.
