Sovereign (2025) Movie Script
1
-Hello?
Where is your emergency?
Exit 275 on 40.
These guys just shot a police
officer right on the exit.
You said an officer's
been shot on 270 what?
Exit 275 on 40.
275 on 40?
Where are you right now?
I'm at the exit.
Oh, my God! Oh, shit!
-What do you see, sir?
-Two cops are dead.
The other one's in the ditch.
They're both dead, ma'am.
They killed both cops.
They shot one.
He fell in the ditch.
The other one ran
behind the car,
and they shot him in the head.
All right,
where's the suspect now?
They're armed with
automatic weapons over here.
Where... where are you at now?
I'm-I'm standing
right over the cop.
His brains... He's dead.
His brains is on...
This an officer?
Yes! Yes.
But yeah, yeah. Oh, sure.
Uh, I always get
that feeling, too.
I know. I...
County sheriff.
Come on. Here you go.
This way.
County sheriff.
Good afternoon.
I'm Deputy Hall
with the Sheriff's Department.
We're looking for Jerry Kane.
Is that your father?
What's this about?
I'm Mr. Friedman.
I'm a lawyer
representing Sun Mutual Bank.
Uh, unfortunately, this home
has been foreclosed on.
There'll be
a public auction in 30 days.
Until then, we ask that you keep
the property presentable.
Bank's offering
a cash-for-keys settlement.
Tell your dad to give us a call.
We've been trying to get
ahold of him.
Is there
a reason you're not in school?
I do homeschool.
You do homeschool.
Okay.
Hey, Molly.
Hi.
Molly.
-She missed you.
-Hey. I missed her, too.
Come here.
Oh, God, you're getting strong.
Look at that.
Come on, give me
a hand with these.
Oh, man, oh, man,
compliments to the chef.
Yard looks good.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
What'd you do
with all that scrap metal?
I stacked it back by the shed.
Good. That's valuable stuff.
A lot of copper in there.
Aluminum.
Lawn mower's broken.
What is it, the belt?
I'll take a look.
Cops came by again.
Yeah.
-Left this.
-No.
I don't need to see that.
They said they were trying
to get ahold of you.
Who is?
One guy said
he was with the bank.
Well, if he wants
to get ahold of me,
he can go through
the proper channels.
I haven't received
anything from them.
Receiving is a choice.
It's not mandatory.
They said they're gonna auction
the house in 30 days.
30 days,
based on whose contract?
Theirs or mine?
'Cause if it's mine,
fuck it, give 'em the 30.
They're just digging themselves
a deeper hole.
The bank's just a clearinghouse.
They don't hold
the underlying note.
What's the note?
Why don't you stop
worrying about it, all right?
Leave it to your dad.
Clean up.
Finish your schoolwork.
Hi, everybody.
It's the first Thursday
of the month,
our regularly scheduled
occurrence with Jerry Kane.
Jerry's an expert
on foreclosures,
mortgages and deeds of trust.
Tell us, Jerry, how exactly did
you get into this line of work?
Well, it-it didn't start out
as a job at first.
Uh, it kind of turned into one,
after dealing with
all my issues with SMB.
Sun Mutual foreclosed
on your house.
Well, they're trying.
They're trying.
They're doing
everything they can.
Today they sent
more gestapo out here,
trying to defraud us
under color of law.
-Oh, God.
-Yeah.
I've already started
the administrative procedure.
Tomorrow I'm filing
an affidavit of truth,
along with
an order to show cause.
You are fighting
the good fight, Jerry.
Well, somebody's got to.
This really has become
a full-time job
for me at this point.
I used to do roofing, but...
I don't really get calls
for that much anymore.
Now it's mostly deeds of trust,
redemptions,
consultations,
that sort of thing.
Well, I know our listeners
have a ton of questions,
so, first caller,
you are on with Jerry Kane.
What the hell is this?
I finished already.
All right, then, let me see it.
Hand it over.
Social studies.
Used to call this civics
when I was a kid.
According to
the Declaration of Independence,
governments get their power
from: A, the king of England,
B, the consent of the people...
B, the consent of the people.
Sounds good to me.
Power's in the people.
Always remember that.
-I did this section already.
-All right.
After the Civil War, the purpose
of the 13th, 14th and 15th...
It's B.
Are you a state citizen
or a U.S. citizen?
-The answer is B.
-Bullshit.
If you're a state citizen,
you don't fall
under the jurisdiction
of the federal government.
They don't have a contract
with you.
They can't touch you.
If you're a U.S. citizen,
congratulations,
you're the property
of the District of Columbia
under commercial law.
You're a subject,
not a sovereign.
You know, when I was a kid,
my dad told me something
that they taught me
at my school was a lie,
that they were lying to me.
He went on and on about it,
real angry,
until after a while,
I finally said,
"But, Dad, why would
my teachers lie to me?"
And it was like...
I hate... I hate to say it,
it was like he turned
into a coward.
He said to me,
"Never mind. Forget it."
And he tried to act like
the whole thing didn't happen.
But I took away one thing
from that conversation,
and that is
they are lying to you.
And from then on out,
all I've done
is try to find out
what the lie is.
-Don't forget your prayers.
-I won't.
Mom and baby Candy,
and who else?
Jesus.
That's right.
Don't forget JC.
Okay, now, now, open the choke.
There you go.
Now, give it a try.
Woo-hoo!
Hello.
Hi.
I'd like to record this.
What kind of document is this?
An affidavit of truth.
A what?
An affidavit of truth.
And this is in regards to...
A pending legal action
against Sun Mutual Bank.
I'm sorry, sir,
but I can't accept this.
Why not?
Depositions need to be filed
with the superior court.
We don't handle those.
Yes, well, like I explained,
this isn't a deposition.
I don't know what that is.
Are you authorized to
practice law without a license?
Are you authorized to interfere
in my commerce with this bank
and keep me from recording
this document?
I already told you, sir,
that needs to be filed
with the superior court.
-We don't handle depositions.
-Okay.
Thank you. You don't
have to talk slow to me.
The county recorder is
a hand of the court.
-A what?
-A hand of the...
-Uh...
-You've been served.
Hey. Hey.
The bank's just a corporation.
A corporate fiction.
Are you a fiction?
-No.
-Am I?
I'm sitting right here in front
of you eating this burger.
There you sit, drinking your...
whatever that is,
Sprite or Mountain Dew.
Where's the bank?
Where's their burger and fries?
How come they get to eat ours,
but we never get to have
any of theirs?
You follow?
You're the one with the power.
You're in charge.
You're the sovereign.
They're your servant.
-I know.
-"We the people."
How long are you
gonna be home for?
I got a few more seminars
coming up.
Tulsa. Springfield.
When?
Later in the week.
You know what I was
thinking, though--
maybe you want to tag along?
I could use the help.
You're old enough now.
Well, what about Molly?
Yeah, she can come, too.
But listen up,
you'd have to study.
I'm serious.
I can't have some dumb-shit
and his dog standing up there
making me look bad.
"Each citizen acts
as a private attorney general
"who takes on the mantle
of the sovereign,
"guarding for all of us
the individual liberties
"enunciated in the Constitution.
Frankenhauser v. Rizzo."
"The term 'coin' or 'currency'
"means coin or currency
of the United States,
"including
Federal Reserve notes.
HJR-192."
"Federal Reserve banks
are not government agencies
"but are independent,
"privately owned and controlled
corporations.
Lewis v. United States."
"'Motor vehicle' means
every description of contrivance
"propelled by mechanical power
"and used for
commercial purposes.
18 U.S. Code 31."
"A party who performs
in a manner demanded
"does not thereby prejudice
the rights reserved.
"Such words as
'without prejudice'
"or the like are sufficient.
UCC 1-308."
"Every person who,
under color of law,
"subjects a citizen
to the deprivation of rights
secured by the Constitution
shall be liable for redress."
-See it?
-"18 U.S. Code 242."
Yeah.
"Executive Order 10997
provides for the seizure
of all electric power,
both public and private."
"Executive Order 10995
provides for the seizure
of all communications media
in the United States."
Executive Order 11 triple zero?
Authorizes the seizure
of all American people
for workforces
under federal supervision,
including the splitting up
of families.
Good.
You're looking sharp, man.
You're missing one thing,
though.
A gentleman always carries one.
Costs you 50 cents.
Come here.
Look at this. Hmm?
Yeah, there you go.
Hi. Hello. What's your name?
-Tom.
-I'm Jerry. Nice to meet you.
We got rights
that are given to us.
-We do.
-You know?
-Yeah.
-And they're given to us by God.
-Yeah.
-Not by the banks.
-No.
-Not by the government.
-Yeah.
-But it's ridiculous,
the way they did people.
And people don't know
what they're getting into.
-No.
-All this crap.
No, it's...
And the banks are just
raking people over.
My sister's landlords
were pretty nasty to her.
A fire started,
um, because of
electrical problems.
Oh, shit.
But they didn't pay for it
or replace her apartment.
Put her out on the street.
Oh, man.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I went to pay my mortgage
the other day, and...
-Yeah?
-...it had jumped like $800.
-Oh, God.
-I have three kids,
and there's just no way
that I can work more.
And my husband,
obviously, on disability,
he can't do much.
And, like, I just don't want
to lose my home.
I just don't know
what I'm gonna do.
Well, we're... we'll talk
a lot about that tonight.
What you got to do is go through
the language meticulously
of your paperwork
and figure out what
you are required to pay,
but more importantly,
what you're not required to pay.
That's where your power lies.
Okay, now, who here
can tell me what this is?
A dollar.
A dollar of what?
A dollar is a unit
of measurement.
If I say to you, "Give me
a pound," what would you say?
A pound of what?
I say, "Give me a gallon."
Of what?
So I say, "Give me a dollar."
Of what?
It's a unit of measurement.
371.25 grains of .905 silver.
There is no money.
Silver and gold.
Well, they call it lawful money.
Oh, no, they call it
legal tender.
But it's not based on anything.
It's made up. It's fiction.
How many of you have heard
of fractional reserve banking?
Now, for every dollar
that you give to the bank,
how many would you say
they give out in loans?
Nine.
For every one dollar,
they turn around
and loan it out nine more times.
That is called
fractionalization.
So the whole thing is made up.
It's all just numbers
on a ledger.
And when it all comes
collapsing down,
who do you think they expect
to come around
and clean up the mess?
Hmm. Hmm-mm-mm-mm.
But what I'm saying is,
hang on a second. Not so fast.
You want what now?
You want a bailout?
-Right.
-You want my tax dollars?
You want my home?
You want my home.
Okay. Okay, then. Fine.
Take the damn house.
I don't want it anyway.
Where do I sign?
Do you want me to wash
the windows before I leave?
But then,
what I want to know is this.
Where's my money?
Where's my promissory note?
Where's all the money you made
as the result
of the fractionalization
of that promissory note,
when you re-loaned it out
over and over,
nine times for me,
22 times in total?
Where's all that?
Hmm?
What's that? Oh.
Oh, now you don't
want me to leave?
Okay, then. Thank you very much.
I will keep the house.
Have a nice day, folks.
Hmm.
Uh, I think I still have
a couple moves.
One way to find out.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay. Yeah. I will.
All right. You, too.
Lesley Anne says hi.
Hi.
She might come meet up with us.
Make a little trip out of it.
You finish your schoolwork?
Yeah.
Well, come on, then.
Let's see it.
It was just the review section.
What about the chapter test?
I already did that.
And?
Attaboy.
See what happens when you put
your brain to it?
They said I could enroll
next semester at Lincoln.
What all goes into that?
Well, nothing.
I just have to pass the test.
And that's something
you'd be interested in?
'Cause, you know,
as soon as you get
involved with that,
that's a system.
-That's government.
-I know.
They're gonna tell you
what to think, what to do.
Pass, no pass,
when to take a piss.
I know, Dad.
All right.
Just so you understand.
It's a contract.
Where's the...
On the table.
I'm heading out.
Why don't you take care
of that laundry while I'm gone?
Who all here
has a birth certificate?
Raise your hands.
Okay. Now, how many of you
have actually looked at it?
Actually read the name
on the paper?
It's in all caps, right?
Why is that?
What other names
do they put in all caps?
Corporations.
Corporations. Exactly.
Because the name
on the birth certificate
isn't the same thing
as the flesh and blood.
It's a corporate name.
It's a corporate fiction.
It's a straw man.
It's a straw man. You got it.
So anytime someone says
I owe them money,
the first thing I ask them is:
Who owes you?
Is it the flesh and blood,
or is it the straw man,
the guy with
the Social Security number,
like they talked about
in the Bible?
The Book of Genesis.
-Mark of the beast.
-Right. The straw man.
If you say I owe you,
then in my opinion,
I say you already owe me.
You owe me evidence
of that debt.
You owe me
evidence of that contract.
So...
let's say you say,
"Okay, come on, Jerry.
"You know that it was for those
boxes of Girl Scout Cookies
that you bought from my niece."
I can still ask you to prove it.
Prove that I ate those cookies.
Because every time you make
a claim against me,
you already owe me.
At the bare minimum,
you owe me an explanation.
All right. Who all here
has been to school?
Okay, so, um, you'll know
what I mean by
"take one and-and pass it back."
-Very inspiring.
-Thank you so much.
-Pleasure, sir.
-Thank you so much.
-I appreciate it.
-Jerry, thanks so much.
-Great job. Great job.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-We enjoyed it.
-Remember what I said.
-Good job, Jerry.
-Thanks, everybody.
So, what's the grand total?
-Whew.
A couple more times like that,
we'll be back in business.
Yeah. We just need 300 more.
For what?
For the bank.
First payment is 1,200.
You're giving 'em your share?
Let the bank steal
someone else's money.
This is ours. We earned it.
You're gonna like this one.
This one's...
this one's pretty good.
This is my bug-out build.
This 5.56-.223, an AR-15.
Colt.
Cool thing-- this little lever
here, you pull that down,
you take this pin out,
hand guard comes off,
you unscrew the barrel,
take this barrel, put it on.
Now you've gone from 5.56
to .300 Blackout.
Hundred caliber.
Options are limitless.
What do you think about that?
That's pretty cool.
You're letting the muzzle drift!
There you go.
Those green tips
kick harder than the .223s.
I can't feel my shoulder.
Attaboy.
Oh, man. Not too bad.
I'd say you're a natural.
Next time,
aim more for the head.
You know, they wear
bulletproof vests.
You know what people
are calling you?
The young genius.
What do you think about that?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I mean, I don't think
they're wrong.
Uh-oh. Here he goes.
Young genius getting a big head.
Watch out.
It's true, though.
You're a prince.
You're an absolute prince.
I didn't do anything.
You don't have to do
anything, son.
It's just who you are.
All you have to do is show up.
That's one thing your mom and I
did right, was make you.
You were a true love child.
Shit.
What?
Keep quiet.
Let me do the talking.
Driver's license,
proof of insurance.
Can I reach
inside the glove box?
Go ahead.
Can you tell me what
I'm looking at here, sir?
Those are my travel documents.
-Travel documents?
-Yes, sir.
Well, I need to see
driver's license
and proof of insurance
for this vehicle.
This isn't a vehicle.
It's not?
No, sir. It's a conveyance.
We are not engaged in commerce.
Well, in order
to drive in this state,
you need a valid
driver's license.
I don't have a contract
with the state.
-That doesn't matter.
-I'm not driving.
-You're not?
-No, sir.
You are not driving
this vehicle?
My son and I are traveling.
We're not engaged in commerce.
We're traveling
in a private capacity.
-411. Need backup here.
-Title 18, U.S. Code.
Go ahead and step out
of the vehicle for me, sir.
Am I under arrest?
I don't know.
I haven't decided yet.
-Am I under arrest?
-You're refusing to show me
documents I need
for this vehicle.
-Am I...
-He wasn't doing anything wrong!
Am I under arrest,
or am I free to go?
No, you are not free to go.
Now, step out of the vehicle.
These are public roads!
I'm a free man traveling!
Get out of the vehicle.
-He didn't do anything!
-I-I do not...
-Get out of the...
-I do not feel safe!
-Get out of the vehicle!
-I do not feel safe!
He didn't do anything!
-Let go of him! Stop!
-Get out!
-On the ground!
-Stop! He didn't do anything!
-I'm not resisting.
-Let go of him!
Hands! Give me your hands.
-Let go of him!
-He's choking me!
You're violating my rights!
Get up. Get up.
Get up.
Don't resist, son.
Do what they tell you.
Come on. Come on.
Joe?
I'm Chief Bouchart.
This is Ms. Reese
with Social Services.
Hello.
We're sorry to keep you waiting.
Can we get you anything?
Want some water?
Where's my dad?
Well, he's fine.
He's being taken down
to County right now.
When can I see him?
That's, uh...
that's hard to say.
I need to, uh...
ask you a few questions.
Maybe you can help me get
to the bottom of what happened.
Can you do that for me?
Okay.
Where were you two headed
when you were stopped?
-Home.
-Home from where?
Tulsa.
You two were on
some kind of road trip?
My dad travels for work.
What about school?
I'm homeschooled.
And your-your dad
helps out with that?
What about your mom?
My mom's dead.
I'm sorry. Um...
how long has it been
since she passed?
I was ten.
So it's just you
and your dad now?
Your father,
has, uh, he ever been
violent towards you?
No.
Any problems
with drugs, alcohol?
Any other issues?
What do you mean?
Um, you said
he travels for work.
Does he leave you alone
for long periods?
-No.
-Okay.
Does he leave you with
plenty of food in the house?
We have enough.
What about his mental state?
Does he ever act agitated
or strange?
We found some weapons
in the van you were driving.
Now, given your dad's priors,
did you know that it's
against the law for him
to even own a firearm?
Found some other materials,
some letters. Uh...
It sounds to me like your dad
doesn't like the government
very much.
He has some interesting ideas.
First off, uh...
what's a straw man?
A straw man is like...
A straw man is...
-Everyone has a straw man.
-Okay.
And, you know, there's the...
there's the real you,
the person.
And there's the other you,
the one that
the government owns.
So, if, um,
I was to give you a ticket,
say, for driving
without a license,
uh, who would pay for it?
Would that be you
or the straw man?
The straw man.
He'd be on the hook?
-Yeah.
-Uh-huh.
So, how come you're the one
that's sitting here right now?
I mean, I don't think
it's very fair
that the straw man
gets to break all the rules
and you're the one
that's sitting in jail.
Do you see how that
doesn't make much sense
to a reasonable person,
Joe, hmm?
We have 12 rooms total.
Most of them are two to a room,
but we have one single left.
Clean clothes are in the closet,
and extra pillows
and blankets up there.
If you need anything,
I'll be down the hall, okay?
So, how do we know
we're with the wrong people?
How can we tell that?
-Mm-hmm.
-They make you feel bad.
They make you feel bad. Yeah.
That's one way, for sure.
What else about their actions?
It's wrong.
Wrong, like how?
It's illegal.
But not just illegal, right?
Something can be morally wrong.
Or it can be wrong
because it's wrong for you.
What's your choice
in that instance?
You can walk away.
You can separate yourself
from the situation.
Good. But sometimes
it's not so easy, right?
You know, sometimes it's
someone we love,
like a friend or a relative.
But, at the end of the day,
you're the only one
responsible for you.
You're the boss.
It's in!
That is time.
Your reading comprehension
is good.
Your math could use
a little work,
but not bad.
You said you've never taken
a placement test before.
Why is that?
So, usually, when someone's
homeschooled, they take a test
at the end of each year,
but it doesn't look like
you did that.
According to your record,
your dad applied for a...
religious exemption.
Is he supportive
of you going to school?
He says that he wants me to be
an independent thinker.
It sounds like he has
some strong opinions.
But you know it's important
for you to have your own voice.
And it's totally normal
for you to want
to be around kids your own age,
to go to school, to socialize.
Your dad already had his chance
to grow up.
You deserve that chance, too.
Something to think about.
Hey.
There he is.
You okay?
They didn't hurt you, did they?
I got a surprise for you.
Hey.
There she is.
Yeah. What a good girl.
-Oh, God.
-Good girl.
You poor thing.
You've sure been through it,
haven't you?
Joe, this is Lesley Anne.
You can thank her
for bailing us out.
So nice to finally meet you.
Your dad brags about you
all the time.
She drove six hours to get here.
Oh, it's the least I could do.
Your dad's been helping me out
with the bank.
If it wasn't for him,
I'd be homeless.
I mean, is driving
a right or a privilege?
You turn my right
into a privilege,
pretty soon
you don't have a judge.
You've got a criminal in prison
wearing orange
because he didn't honor
his oath of office.
I know. I know. I get it.
Just the same with my divorce.
They just keep
grinding you down.
When it comes to custody,
they'll say anything.
Say you're a drunk,
an unfit parent.
That's their playbook.
I won't do it again. I can't.
They're gonna have to kill me.
I mean, you have no idea
what I went through in there.
They look at you like...
like you're not even human,
like you don't even exist.
I almost died.
I was dying.
Now I know what...
now I know what that feels like.
We have an unusual
situation in Central Florida.
We have a real Internal Revenue
rogue agent.
-Uh, yes, I've heard.
-That's called a stalker.
Exactly. Right.
Uh, what's the problem?
She's coming after a lot of us
in the Central Valley with
-the administrative summons.
-Uh-huh.
We're doing everything
we can to return those.
We've done everything.
Where does she like to go out
and hang out at?
You pay for the bat,
I'll take care of the problem.
All you have to do is
go out to the bar
where she's hanging out at,
and then wait for her
to get drunk,
meet her out in the parking lot
and beat her ass.
Turn the tape off.
Turn the tape off.
It's just a joke.
Well, what I'm getting at is
violence doesn't solve
anything, okay?
It's not violence
that we're after.
Even the Bible tells us,
if you're gonna go and wage war
against somebody,
you have to kill their sheep and
their goats and their chickens
and their babies
and their wives, okay?
You have to kill 'em all.
Right.
Because what we're
after here is not fighting.
It's conquering.
I mean, I don't want
to have to kill anybody,
but if they keep
messing with me,
then I'm afraid that's what
it's gonna come down to,
is I'm gonna have to kill.
And if I have to kill one, then
I'm not gonna be able to stop.
I just know it.
I mean, I have
an addictive personality.
I haven't had a drink
for 18 years
'cause I can't handle the shit.
You might want to
clarify that, just a little bit.
Well, it's a matter of what
the law says about killing.
The law from the Bible tells us
that if you're gonna do it,
you have to do it right.
Well, I don't choose
to do it right.
I don't want to do it at all.
I think, uh...
I think this is
gonna be a lot of fun.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Hey, you can
just forget I'm here. Okay.
-Don't worry about it.
-Um, you can just
split it on these two cards.
We got you your own room.
We're right above you
on the tenth floor.
I got a radio show to do,
and then we're headed out.
Make sure you don't
charge anything.
-Oh, he's fine.
-I'm serious.
I won't.
No pornos.
Good evening, everyone.
It's the first Thursday
of the month,
which means we are back
with Jerry Kane.
How are you, Jerry?
Oh, well, much better today
than I was a couple weeks ago.
Yeah. We heard
a little bit about that.
Why don't you tell us
what happened?
Oh, I ran into
a Nazi checkpoint
where they were
demanding papers or jail.
That was the option.
So I entered into commerce
with them
under threat, duress
and coercion.
Spent 94 hours in there.
Winner eight.
Hey!
You are one talented individual.
Everything I signed was TDC,
by guarantor, no contract.
I'm now putting together
an invoice
for approximately $80,000
in gold
for the eight times
they used my name.
Aw.
Snake eyes.
-S-Snake eyes.
-Snake eyes.
I've already done
a background check on the cop.
I found out where he lives,
his address, his wife's name.
I'm sending him notice
of an invoice for $100 per hour
for the total 94 hours
I was there.
And then I'll move forward
with liquidating his assets
by mechanic lien sale.
They demand that you beg.
They're sick like that,
you know.
They're psychotic psychopaths.
They get a sexual thrill
out of it.
They're sick in the head.
That's all.
So we just got to play
their silly-ass little games
and go in there and, uh,
kill the monster under the bed,
so to speak.
Sorry.
One more minute, I was gone.
This sleep regression thing...
I don't want to hear about it.
He kept us up until 4:00.
It's not an excuse, but--
Well, I told you,
you just got to let him cry.
You can't go picking him up
every five seconds.
-It sets a pattern.
-I know.
Speaking of patterns,
what is this,
third day in a row
you've been late?
Yeah, I know.
We're getting there.
Well, if I were you, I wouldn't
try that sleep regression shit
with Rodney.
There's three things we want
when we take control
of somebody.
We want compliance,
control or incapacitation.
Baby chief, you're up.
First thing I go for
is compliance.
I want my top hand here,
and I want to lock that body up.
-Does everybody see that?
-Yes, sir.
Disrupt his balance.
Take him to the floor.
This is what I want.
I want that shoulder torqued up,
so if he decides to resist,
he's gonna feel it.
All right.
Everybody, pair up and
let's work on this technique.
First order. Turn around!
Hands on your head!
Down on your knees!
Down on your bellies!
Arms out to your side!
Officers, step in.
Place cuffs.
Make sure it's secure.
Compliance.
That's what today is all about.
In position.
Learning to assert dominance
through the use
of overwhelming force.
Taser, Taser, Taser! Pop!
'Cause out there in the field...
-Next up!
-Go, Adam.
...there's no time to negotiate.
Pepper spray!
Go to one!
There's no time to stop
and consider
the other person's perspective.
Stop resisting!
-Get down!
-He's down! Baton!
You have to quickly assess...
Stop resisting! Get down!
He's down! Subject!
...Is this person a threat?
-Drop your weapon!
-Do they mean me harm?
Drop your weapon!
Or is this someone
who needs my help?
-Secure!
-Water!
-Next up!
-I got you.
-Next up.
-I got you. Hey.
-Pull your weapon, and then
tell him to drop his. -Ugh.
-I know. I know.
-All right?
-He-he shot you already.
-I know. I got--
Doesn't matter how much
situational training you have,
it doesn't matter
how many skill sets you have,
because sooner or later,
you're gonna be applying this
in an unpredictable, dynamic,
real-world set of circumstances.
And that's gonna be
your true test.
That eye looks terrible.
Are you sure
you're okay to drive?
We could stop at an urgent care.
You know why they call it
"medical practice"?
Hmm?
'Cause they're practicing.
I wish Franny could see this.
She loves horses.
But they never let me
take her anywhere.
-Who doesn't?
-The lawyers.
You're her mother, aren't you?
That's God-given.
They don't have a say in that.
You want to stop
and take a picture?
No. Uh-uh. No, I can't.
Why not?
Because I told you already.
I ca-- I can't.
That thing.
What thing?
That thing that happened
when I was a little kid.
Wait, are you talking about
when you got your teeth
kicked in by a horse?
Stop it, Jerry. Stop it.
It's not funny.
I still have nightmares.
Mm-mm.
Uh-oh.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Come on.
-Oh, God.
-Come on. Get up close.
-Jerry, I can't.
-You got to face your fears.
-No, I can't.
-Hey, bullshit. Come on.
-No, I can't. I can't.
-Come on.
Hey. Yes, you can. Hey.
-I can't.
-Look at me! Look at me! Hey.
Look at me. Look at me.
Do you want to just
keep being scared?
Okay. Okay.
Okay? There you go.
-Mm.
-Okay.
-Come on, you're in charge.
-Oh.
-Oh.
-Take your time.
Oh.
Okay, no closer.
No closer than this.
-Okay.
-No closer than this.
Okay, now just put your hand up.
My hand.
Okay. You're okay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, I'm gonna pee.
Okay.
See?
You see?
You see that?
Now, that is conquering.
-Oh. -Nothing to fear
but fear itself.
I told you.
Yeah. Hi.
I hate to leave,
but I've got to get back.
My daughter's staying
with me this week.
-Franny, right?
-Yeah.
You'd like her.
She's younger than you
but not by much.
She's starting sixth grade
in the fall.
Take care of each other.
We will.
And listen to your dad.
He loves you a lot.
He's got a lot to teach you.
Thank you.
Ah.
Power's out.
I think we got this.
What time is the hearing?
8:00 a.m.
What are you gonna say
to the judge?
I'm not gonna say anything.
I've already submitted my case.
Now it's up to him to do
what's right, do what's legal.
And if he doesn't?
Well, if that's the direction
he wants to take it,
then fuck it.
We can go all the way
to the Supreme Court.
What about the house?
What about it?
Well, they're gonna sell it
if we don't pay.
They can't sell the house.
They don't have jurisdiction.
Yeah, but...
Yeah, but what, Joe?
Why are you getting
into this, huh?
I just-- I don't understand
why you're making it
such a big deal.
We have the money.
You want to give them
your money?
-You spent my money.
-Oh. Oh, okay.
Just-just 'cause
someone demands something,
you think you got to roll over
and hand it to them.
-If you owe it.
-Who?
Who says I owe it? Who?
Forget it.
I haven't received
anything from them!
You want me to pay for something
I haven't received?!
You do understand the concept
of receiving, don't you?!
Case number 15A.
Sun Mutual Bank v. Kane.
-Good morning, Your Honor.
-Good morning, Counselor.
Sir, I'd like to say
how I'm appearing today.
One moment, Mr. Kane.
Uh, Mr. Kane has declined
the services
of the public defender,
Your Honor.
Sir, I need to make
a declaration to the court.
Hang on.
You'll have your chance.
I need to look at your record.
Felonious Assault. Forgery.
Theft of a Car by Deception.
Driving Without a License.
Please note
that I am appearing today
as the administrator
for Jerry Kane.
Oh, you're not Mr. Kane?
Where is he?
Jerry Kane is a person
under color of law.
I am here in
an administrative capacity.
Your Honor, Mr. Kane is in
default of a principal balance
of $38,400
plus 9.8 percent interest.
Mr. Kane, are you prepared
to make a payment at this time?
They never validated
the debt, Your Honor.
Now, what does that mean,
exactly?
Their promissory note
is invalid.
Your Honor, Mr. Kane's
arguments have no legal
or other significance
related to the bank's filing.
Mr. Kane,
I agree with plaintiff,
and frankly,
the court is not amused.
Your Honor, my appearance today
is merely a courtesy.
Are you or are you not
Jerry Kane?
That name refers to a person
under color of law.
I'm looking for a Jerry Kane!
Please sit down.
Sit down!
Bailiff, remove this man
from the courtroom.
I am trying to remedy-- No!
Touch me and you will be
charged with--
I am a peace officer!
This is common law jurisdiction
I established!
I'm gonna rule in favor
of the plaintiff.
We'll take a recess.
Thank you. All rise.
-Where's my remedy?
-You don't have one!
For the record,
I am being denied my remedy!
Okay, uh, actually, please note
that the judge has
abandoned the court!
He has abandoned ship!
I, as a sovereign, claim
jurisdiction over this matter!
Case dismissed
with prejudice and cause!
Have a nice day.
-What happened?
-They abandoned ship.
They deserted the court
like cowards.
-Well, what does that mean?
-It means we won.
They didn't have jurisdiction.
The judge knew it.
When I called him on it,
he fled.
Hey. Hey, little bubba.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
You're gonna spoil that child.
He's cranky today.
Still not sleeping too good.
That's 'cause you don't listen.
I keep telling you,
never pick up a crying baby.
Yeah, I hear you.
I'm serious.
They're willful creatures.
You're either gonna break them
or they're gonna break you.
Well, I think
that battle's been lost.
He pretty much rules the roost
around here.
Isn't that right, bubba? Hmm?
I swear, that is
the fussiest kid.
He's just a baby.
So?
We never let Adam act like that.
Well, that's 'cause
you were always riding him.
You still are.
You think every nail
needs a hammer.
What's that supposed to mean?
Means you should
give him a break.
Stop making him feel like
he always has to please you.
-Please me?
-Yeah.
Well, he turned out great.
Well, it wouldn't hurt you to
tell him every once in a while.
Hey there, guys.
Congratulations.
-Thanks, Chief.
-Congratulations, really.
Yeah. Congratulations.
Oh, we got Dirty Harry here.
To the graduates
of class 18-5:
that badge you wear
on your chest,
it does not belong to you.
It is not yours.
It belongs to the people
who commissioned you to wear it.
So wear it with great honor,
integrity and pride.
-Hear, hear.
-Cheers.
Okay, everybody, get together.
We're gonna take a picture.
-Spouses or no spouses?
-All. Everybody in.
-Make sure to get baby chief
in there. -Squeeze together.
-Everybody. -Oh, do not
say that about my son.
Okay, look up.
-Look up.
-Scene of the crime.
-Come on, honey. Come on.
-Come on. Get in.
-Let's go. Come on.
-Go.
Come on. Here we go.
Thank you.
I'm here to register.
-Are you a new student?
-Yeah.
Did you bring your paperwork?
No, not really.
Okay, well,
in order to register,
you need to provide proof
of residency, immunizations,
and if you're a minor,
-a written consent from a parent
or legal guardian. -Okay.
So, when you have
all that ready,
you can come back
and we can get you started.
Um, is that written down
somewhere?
Did you create
an account online?
That's the first thing
you need to do.
You can find all this
information on there.
And what about
the placement test?
You're gonna have to sign up
for that online as well.
-I can't do it here?
-No, sir.
But make sure
you register by the 15th.
Tests are given on the first.
That's the only day.
Um, and what if I can't get
parental consent?
If that's a problem,
you can apply for an exemption.
But that requires an interview.
And you'll still need to provide
proof of residency
and immunizations.
-Okay?
-Yeah. Thanks.
Sheriff's Department. Open up!
Dad? Dad!
Sheriff's Department.
You need to come to the door.
County sheriff.
We're here to serve
a court-ordered eviction.
I'm sorry.
You guys can't come in.
This house has been
foreclosed on.
We're gonna need you
to vacate the premises.
But I-I need to-- Dad!
I need you to step outside.
I-- Hold on. I got--
I need to get my dog.
Okay. Who else is
in the house with you?
-My dad.
-Where?
Um, in the bedroom.
Okay. Any guns on the property?
I'm gonna need you to step out
to the curb for me, please.
-What about our stuff?
-We'll have a crew
bring your things
to the end of the driveway.
Mr. Kane?
Mr. Kane?
County sheriff. Come out
or we're breaking down the door.
Where are we going?
Which way am I supposed to go?
How the hell
am I supposed to know, Joe?
You're the one
calling the shots now,
deciding who comes, who goes.
-What are you talking about?
-You let them in.
Let them? They pushed past me.
They can't come in
unless you invite them.
It's called a warrant.
I didn't fucking invite them!
-Mendacity!
-What?
-Mendacity!
-Stop yelling!
Mendacity!
Get off here.
Why?
Just get off.
-Where am I going?
-Keep driving.
Pull over.
Give me the keys.
Come on back here.
I need to show you something.
Back in colonial times,
when someone accused you
of mendacity,
that was a stain on your honor.
A stain on your good name.
If you were a gentleman,
you would demand satisfaction.
Pick.
-Why?
-Pick!
At the agreed upon time,
you would meet
at the field of combat,
and you would each
walk out ten paces.
-One...
-Dad.
...two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
You would turn
and face your opponent.
-Dad, stop!
-And give the signal!
Present!
-What the fuck are you doing?!
-Present!
Dad, this is
fucking insane! Stop!
Present!
And fire!
It's the first Thursday
of the month,
and we are back with Jerry Kane.
Jerry, how the hell are you?
Oh, I've seen better days.
You sound
a little worse for wear.
Probably all that travel.
Well, I don't mind
the travel if...
you know, as long as
I can keep the chains off of me.
The bank sent a bunch of
illegals out here this morning
-to do their bidding.
-Illegals?
Yeah, you know,
they use illegals
for this sort of thing
'cause they know it's a crime.
That way, they've got leverage.
So, a bunch of them showed up
and executed a seizure
without a warrant.
Forced us off the property under
threat, duress and coercion.
Oh, God.
Anyways, I've already started
the administrative procedure.
I'll send it over to you so
you can put it up on the site.
So, unfortunately, I've had
to cut down on some dates.
It's just that
I had a class back in January
and not one person
showed up for it.
You are kidding.
And it's expensive, you know?
With travel and the hotel
every night and everything.
And then getting back
to this, uh,
to this deed of trust...
They think they can just,
you know, keep squeezing blood
-out of a stone.
-Mm.
But at some point,
you have to let them know
that you won't be pushed
any further.
-Right.
-You have to remember
who you are, and don't let them
talk you out of it.
Don't bend over. Don't cower.
Remember, they're the slave
and you're the master.
So, what's all this?
That is my signature.
That is my payment.
That's legal tender.
Sir, you marked out
half the contract.
Yeah. It's fine. It's fine.
It's just me and my son.
I can't accept that.
Why not?
You don't accept U.S. dollars?
You should just go.
You don't accept U.S. dollars?
Okay.
You don't accept U.S. currency!
What happened?
"And there was no room
for them at the inn."
Don't forget your prayers.
Yeah.
Mom and Baby Candy and who else?
Jesus.
Why do we pray to Baby Candy?
What do you mean?
I mean, she was a baby.
So what?
Babies don't have souls?
No. I just...
Just don't think it's good to be
thinking about it all the time.
I guess I'd like
to forget about it.
Your mother and I...
...we went in
to get her one morning.
There she was,
lying there all peaceful.
She didn't have a mark on her.
But the rule makers,
they weren't satisfied.
They knew it was SIDS,
but they wanted to cut her open.
Take this out.
Analyze that.
That is something I hope
you never have to go through.
'Cause you are
never gonna get over it.
To think that the government
has more of a right
to your own child than you do.
Well, lookee here.
We might just be on time.
-You get any sleep?
-We did.
Eventually.
You do what I told you?
Yeah. It wasn't easy though.
I mean, he screamed like crazy.
Jess had to go get earplugs
and sleep in the other room.
Honestly, I hated it.
It worked though, didn't it?
Yeah.
What time you guys
headed out to the lake?
I told your mother
to be ready about 10:00.
-She packed?
-You know your mom.
She starts packing
a week before.
-You're one to talk.
-Me?
Hey, I'm a shorts
and flip-flops guy.
You know that. Come on.
Yeah, right.
Uniform looks good.
We're getting on the road now.
We should be there
in about six hours.
You can, or you can send my bill
to the gestapo.
All right. You, too.
Hey, that was Lesley Anne.
She's gonna let us stay
at her place for a while.
For how long?
Just until things
with the house get sorted.
What about my placement test?
-What about it?
-I have it on the first.
I don't know what to tell you.
You're gonna
have to postpone it.
I can't postpone it.
-You're gonna have to.
-Bullshit!
-You knew this was coming!
-Hey!
This is serious!
This ain't
no fucking around now!
Now, I know you're disappointed,
but I need you to be
an adult about this.
Dad?
Dad.
-What's the problem, Officer?
-Hey, why don't you stay
-right there for me, okay, sir?
-Why was I pulled over?
I need you to stay by your car.
I'd like to know why my travel
is being obstructed.
And I will tell you.
But first I need to see your
license and registration, okay?
Is this car registered
in your name?
This is my car.
My son and I are traveling.
Traveling where?
That's private family business.
We're traveling
in a private capacity.
All right, here's what I want.
I need you to go over there and
wait by your car for me, okay?
What are you doing?
-Hey, what's up?
-No fucking clue.
Guy doesn't have a license.
Handed me these.
This is about
conquering now, right?
We need to conquer.
-This is an illegal stop.
-Sir.
-Sir, get back in the car.
-What law did I break?
Get back in the car right now!
-Tell me what law I broke
and I'll comply. -Sir. Sir.
-Now.
-You have no warrant!
-You have no probable cause!
-Keep talking,
-you're getting arrested.
-For what?
That's it. All right,
hands behind your back.
-You're under arrest.
-No, I'm not!
-You have no jurisdiction!
-You're under arrest!
Give me your hands.
-No!
-Give me your hand.
Stop resisting!
On the ground!
No! No!
Stop resisting!
-Give me-- give me your arm!
-This is assault!
-This is assault!
-Stop!
No!
No! You're assaulting me!
-You're assaulting!
-Get on the ground!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
No!
Uh, I thought
you turned that off.
That's not our frequency.
Must be Highway Patrol.
All units respond.
Call three to Interstate 40,
mile marker 275.
Unit three. Unit three.
State trooper's down.
Oh, God.
Dispatch,

Must be one of Jim Ellis's guys.
This is one-four.
I'm southbound on Rain View.
I'm four minutes out.
Coming in, one-four.
Dispatch 401,

Uh, possible officer shot.

That's at 275 mile marker.

Stay in the car.
Stay in the car.
Chief. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Is it Adam?
John!
John!
Is it Adam?
Please tell me it's not Adam.
Is it...
Wait, I got to go--
Get your shirt off.
Here. Put it in here.
Put it in here.
Don't touch anything.
All right.
All right, all right.
Get in there.
Scrub. Scrub.
Get under your nails.
Get your forearms.
Okay. Dry off.
Dry off.
Hurry up.
Okay, what-what'd you touch?
Don't-don't touch anything else.
Hurry up!
-Hey, hey!
-Huh?
-What are you doing?
-Well--
-I said get dressed!
-I am. I just--
No, you're not!
You're fucking around!
Well, Molly's hungry.
She hasn't eaten anything.
-Joe?
-There's, like, not even--
-Joe...
-Oh, but she--
-Joe!
-Hey, hey!
Do what I fucking tell you!
Hey!
-Get off of me!
-Joe!
Hey!
Joe!
-Joe!
-Get away from me!
Listen to me!
Joe.
-Get away from me.
-Listen to me.
-Listen to me! Listen to me!
-No! Get off me!
-I need you to calm down!
-Let go!
I need you to calm down,
all right?
-I need you to be strong.
-No! I want to go home!
They drew first blood, remember?
No! I want to go home!
They brought this on themselves!
Violence is a violation,
remember?!
-I want-- I want Mom!
-We need to conquer.
No, we need to conquer now.
I want my mom.
We need to conquer.
I want Mom.
We need to conquer now, son.
We need to conquer now, son.
Patty's back at the house.
Jess is on the way there now.
Told the guys to stick around
just in case
they needed anything.
We got a statewide APB out
for the van, Chief.
We're gonna get 'em.
Meet you back here in five.
Let me get four boxes
of the nine millimeter
and another four of the .308s.
Thank you.
It means a lot.
I'm so sorry. I-I'm so sorry.
Why don't you get off your feet?
Thank you.
Yeah.
-Hello?
Where is your emergency?
Exit 275 on 40.
These guys just shot a police
officer right on the exit.
You said an officer's
been shot on 270 what?
Exit 275 on 40.
275 on 40?
Where are you right now?
I'm at the exit.
Oh, my God! Oh, shit!
-What do you see, sir?
-Two cops are dead.
The other one's in the ditch.
They're both dead, ma'am.
They killed both cops.
They shot one.
He fell in the ditch.
The other one ran
behind the car,
and they shot him in the head.
All right,
where's the suspect now?
They're armed with
automatic weapons over here.
Where... where are you at now?
I'm-I'm standing
right over the cop.
His brains... He's dead.
His brains is on...
This an officer?
Yes! Yes.
But yeah, yeah. Oh, sure.
Uh, I always get
that feeling, too.
I know. I...
County sheriff.
Come on. Here you go.
This way.
County sheriff.
Good afternoon.
I'm Deputy Hall
with the Sheriff's Department.
We're looking for Jerry Kane.
Is that your father?
What's this about?
I'm Mr. Friedman.
I'm a lawyer
representing Sun Mutual Bank.
Uh, unfortunately, this home
has been foreclosed on.
There'll be
a public auction in 30 days.
Until then, we ask that you keep
the property presentable.
Bank's offering
a cash-for-keys settlement.
Tell your dad to give us a call.
We've been trying to get
ahold of him.
Is there
a reason you're not in school?
I do homeschool.
You do homeschool.
Okay.
Hey, Molly.
Hi.
Molly.
-She missed you.
-Hey. I missed her, too.
Come here.
Oh, God, you're getting strong.
Look at that.
Come on, give me
a hand with these.
Oh, man, oh, man,
compliments to the chef.
Yard looks good.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
What'd you do
with all that scrap metal?
I stacked it back by the shed.
Good. That's valuable stuff.
A lot of copper in there.
Aluminum.
Lawn mower's broken.
What is it, the belt?
I'll take a look.
Cops came by again.
Yeah.
-Left this.
-No.
I don't need to see that.
They said they were trying
to get ahold of you.
Who is?
One guy said
he was with the bank.
Well, if he wants
to get ahold of me,
he can go through
the proper channels.
I haven't received
anything from them.
Receiving is a choice.
It's not mandatory.
They said they're gonna auction
the house in 30 days.
30 days,
based on whose contract?
Theirs or mine?
'Cause if it's mine,
fuck it, give 'em the 30.
They're just digging themselves
a deeper hole.
The bank's just a clearinghouse.
They don't hold
the underlying note.
What's the note?
Why don't you stop
worrying about it, all right?
Leave it to your dad.
Clean up.
Finish your schoolwork.
Hi, everybody.
It's the first Thursday
of the month,
our regularly scheduled
occurrence with Jerry Kane.
Jerry's an expert
on foreclosures,
mortgages and deeds of trust.
Tell us, Jerry, how exactly did
you get into this line of work?
Well, it-it didn't start out
as a job at first.
Uh, it kind of turned into one,
after dealing with
all my issues with SMB.
Sun Mutual foreclosed
on your house.
Well, they're trying.
They're trying.
They're doing
everything they can.
Today they sent
more gestapo out here,
trying to defraud us
under color of law.
-Oh, God.
-Yeah.
I've already started
the administrative procedure.
Tomorrow I'm filing
an affidavit of truth,
along with
an order to show cause.
You are fighting
the good fight, Jerry.
Well, somebody's got to.
This really has become
a full-time job
for me at this point.
I used to do roofing, but...
I don't really get calls
for that much anymore.
Now it's mostly deeds of trust,
redemptions,
consultations,
that sort of thing.
Well, I know our listeners
have a ton of questions,
so, first caller,
you are on with Jerry Kane.
What the hell is this?
I finished already.
All right, then, let me see it.
Hand it over.
Social studies.
Used to call this civics
when I was a kid.
According to
the Declaration of Independence,
governments get their power
from: A, the king of England,
B, the consent of the people...
B, the consent of the people.
Sounds good to me.
Power's in the people.
Always remember that.
-I did this section already.
-All right.
After the Civil War, the purpose
of the 13th, 14th and 15th...
It's B.
Are you a state citizen
or a U.S. citizen?
-The answer is B.
-Bullshit.
If you're a state citizen,
you don't fall
under the jurisdiction
of the federal government.
They don't have a contract
with you.
They can't touch you.
If you're a U.S. citizen,
congratulations,
you're the property
of the District of Columbia
under commercial law.
You're a subject,
not a sovereign.
You know, when I was a kid,
my dad told me something
that they taught me
at my school was a lie,
that they were lying to me.
He went on and on about it,
real angry,
until after a while,
I finally said,
"But, Dad, why would
my teachers lie to me?"
And it was like...
I hate... I hate to say it,
it was like he turned
into a coward.
He said to me,
"Never mind. Forget it."
And he tried to act like
the whole thing didn't happen.
But I took away one thing
from that conversation,
and that is
they are lying to you.
And from then on out,
all I've done
is try to find out
what the lie is.
-Don't forget your prayers.
-I won't.
Mom and baby Candy,
and who else?
Jesus.
That's right.
Don't forget JC.
Okay, now, now, open the choke.
There you go.
Now, give it a try.
Woo-hoo!
Hello.
Hi.
I'd like to record this.
What kind of document is this?
An affidavit of truth.
A what?
An affidavit of truth.
And this is in regards to...
A pending legal action
against Sun Mutual Bank.
I'm sorry, sir,
but I can't accept this.
Why not?
Depositions need to be filed
with the superior court.
We don't handle those.
Yes, well, like I explained,
this isn't a deposition.
I don't know what that is.
Are you authorized to
practice law without a license?
Are you authorized to interfere
in my commerce with this bank
and keep me from recording
this document?
I already told you, sir,
that needs to be filed
with the superior court.
-We don't handle depositions.
-Okay.
Thank you. You don't
have to talk slow to me.
The county recorder is
a hand of the court.
-A what?
-A hand of the...
-Uh...
-You've been served.
Hey. Hey.
The bank's just a corporation.
A corporate fiction.
Are you a fiction?
-No.
-Am I?
I'm sitting right here in front
of you eating this burger.
There you sit, drinking your...
whatever that is,
Sprite or Mountain Dew.
Where's the bank?
Where's their burger and fries?
How come they get to eat ours,
but we never get to have
any of theirs?
You follow?
You're the one with the power.
You're in charge.
You're the sovereign.
They're your servant.
-I know.
-"We the people."
How long are you
gonna be home for?
I got a few more seminars
coming up.
Tulsa. Springfield.
When?
Later in the week.
You know what I was
thinking, though--
maybe you want to tag along?
I could use the help.
You're old enough now.
Well, what about Molly?
Yeah, she can come, too.
But listen up,
you'd have to study.
I'm serious.
I can't have some dumb-shit
and his dog standing up there
making me look bad.
"Each citizen acts
as a private attorney general
"who takes on the mantle
of the sovereign,
"guarding for all of us
the individual liberties
"enunciated in the Constitution.
Frankenhauser v. Rizzo."
"The term 'coin' or 'currency'
"means coin or currency
of the United States,
"including
Federal Reserve notes.
HJR-192."
"Federal Reserve banks
are not government agencies
"but are independent,
"privately owned and controlled
corporations.
Lewis v. United States."
"'Motor vehicle' means

"propelled by mechanical power
"and used for

"A party who performs

"Such words as
'without prejudice'
"or the like are sufficient.
UCC 1-308."
"Every person who,
under color of law,
"subjects a citizen
to the deprivation of rights
secured by the Constitution
shall be liable for redress."
-See it?
-"18 U.S. Code 242."
Yeah.
"Executive Order 10997
provides for the seizure
of all electric power,
both public and private."
"Executive Order 10995
provides for the seizure
of all communications media
in the United States."
Executive Order 11 triple zero?
Authorizes the seizure
of all American people
for workforces
under federal supervision,
including the splitting up
of families.
Good.
You're looking sharp, man.
You're missing one thing,
though.
A gentleman always carries one.
Costs you 50 cents.
Come here.
Look at this. Hmm?
Yeah, there you go.
Hi. Hello. What's your name?
-Tom.
-I'm Jerry. Nice to meet you.
We got rights
that are given to us.
-We do.
-You know?
-Yeah.
-And they're given to us by God.
-Yeah.
-Not by the banks.
-No.
-Not by the government.
-Yeah.
-But it's ridiculous,
the way they did people.
And people don't know
what they're getting into.
-No.
-All this crap.
No, it's...
And the banks are just
raking people over.
My sister's landlords
were pretty nasty to her.
A fire started,
um, because of
electrical problems.
Oh, shit.
But they didn't pay for it
or replace her apartment.
Put her out on the street.
Oh, man.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I went to pay my mortgage
the other day, and...
-Yeah?
-...it had jumped like $800.
-Oh, God.
-I have three kids,
and there's just no way
that I can work more.
And my husband,
obviously, on disability,
he can't do much.
And, like, I just don't want
to lose my home.
I just don't know
what I'm gonna do.
Well, we're... we'll talk
a lot about that tonight.
What you got to do is go through
the language meticulously
of your paperwork
and figure out what
you are required to pay,
but more importantly,
what you're not required to pay.
That's where your power lies.
Okay, now, who here
can tell me what this is?
A dollar.
A dollar of what?
A dollar is a unit
of measurement.
If I say to you, "Give me
a pound," what would you say?
A pound of what?
I say, "Give me a gallon."
Of what?
So I say, "Give me a dollar."
Of what?
It's a unit of measurement.
371.25 grains of .905 silver.
There is no money.
Silver and gold.
Well, they call it lawful money.
Oh, no, they call it
legal tender.
But it's not based on anything.
It's made up. It's fiction.
How many of you have heard
of fractional reserve banking?
Now, for every dollar
that you give to the bank,
how many would you say
they give out in loans?
Nine.
For every one dollar,
they turn around
and loan it out nine more times.
That is called
fractionalization.
So the whole thing is made up.
It's all just numbers
on a ledger.
And when it all comes
collapsing down,
who do you think they expect
to come around
and clean up the mess?
Hmm. Hmm-mm-mm-mm.
But what I'm saying is,
hang on a second. Not so fast.
You want what now?
You want a bailout?
-Right.
-You want my tax dollars?
You want my home?
You want my home.
Okay. Okay, then. Fine.
Take the damn house.
I don't want it anyway.
Where do I sign?
Do you want me to wash
the windows before I leave?
But then,
what I want to know is this.
Where's my money?
Where's my promissory note?
Where's all the money you made
as the result
of the fractionalization
of that promissory note,
when you re-loaned it out
over and over,
nine times for me,
22 times in total?
Where's all that?
Hmm?
What's that? Oh.
Oh, now you don't
want me to leave?
Okay, then. Thank you very much.
I will keep the house.
Have a nice day, folks.
Hmm.
Uh, I think I still have
a couple moves.
One way to find out.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay. Yeah. I will.
All right. You, too.
Lesley Anne says hi.
Hi.
She might come meet up with us.
Make a little trip out of it.
You finish your schoolwork?
Yeah.
Well, come on, then.
Let's see it.
It was just the review section.
What about the chapter test?
I already did that.
And?
Attaboy.
See what happens when you put
your brain to it?
They said I could enroll
next semester at Lincoln.
What all goes into that?
Well, nothing.
I just have to pass the test.
And that's something
you'd be interested in?
'Cause, you know,
as soon as you get
involved with that,
that's a system.
-That's government.
-I know.
They're gonna tell you
what to think, what to do.
Pass, no pass,
when to take a piss.
I know, Dad.
All right.
Just so you understand.
It's a contract.
Where's the...
On the table.
I'm heading out.
Why don't you take care
of that laundry while I'm gone?
Who all here
has a birth certificate?
Raise your hands.
Okay. Now, how many of you
have actually looked at it?
Actually read the name
on the paper?
It's in all caps, right?
Why is that?
What other names
do they put in all caps?
Corporations.
Corporations. Exactly.
Because the name
on the birth certificate
isn't the same thing
as the flesh and blood.
It's a corporate name.
It's a corporate fiction.
It's a straw man.
It's a straw man. You got it.
So anytime someone says
I owe them money,
the first thing I ask them is:
Who owes you?
Is it the flesh and blood,
or is it the straw man,
the guy with
the Social Security number,
like they talked about
in the Bible?
The Book of Genesis.
-Mark of the beast.
-Right. The straw man.
If you say I owe you,
then in my opinion,
I say you already owe me.
You owe me evidence
of that debt.
You owe me
evidence of that contract.
So...
let's say you say,
"Okay, come on, Jerry.
"You know that it was for those
boxes of Girl Scout Cookies
that you bought from my niece."
I can still ask you to prove it.
Prove that I ate those cookies.
Because every time you make
a claim against me,
you already owe me.
At the bare minimum,
you owe me an explanation.
All right. Who all here
has been to school?
Okay, so, um, you'll know
what I mean by
"take one and-and pass it back."
-Very inspiring.
-Thank you so much.
-Pleasure, sir.
-Thank you so much.
-I appreciate it.
-Jerry, thanks so much.
-Great job. Great job.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-We enjoyed it.
-Remember what I said.
-Good job, Jerry.
-Thanks, everybody.
So, what's the grand total?
-Whew.
A couple more times like that,
we'll be back in business.
Yeah. We just need 300 more.
For what?
For the bank.
First payment is 1,200.
You're giving 'em your share?
Let the bank steal
someone else's money.
This is ours. We earned it.
You're gonna like this one.
This one's...
this one's pretty good.
This is my bug-out build.
This 5.56-.223, an AR-15.
Colt.
Cool thing-- this little lever
here, you pull that down,
you take this pin out,
hand guard comes off,
you unscrew the barrel,
take this barrel, put it on.
Now you've gone from 5.56
to .300 Blackout.
Hundred caliber.
Options are limitless.
What do you think about that?
That's pretty cool.
You're letting the muzzle drift!
There you go.
Those green tips
kick harder than the .223s.
I can't feel my shoulder.
Attaboy.
Oh, man. Not too bad.
I'd say you're a natural.
Next time,
aim more for the head.
You know, they wear
bulletproof vests.
You know what people
are calling you?
The young genius.
What do you think about that?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I mean, I don't think
they're wrong.
Uh-oh. Here he goes.
Young genius getting a big head.
Watch out.
It's true, though.
You're a prince.
You're an absolute prince.
I didn't do anything.
You don't have to do
anything, son.
It's just who you are.
All you have to do is show up.
That's one thing your mom and I
did right, was make you.
You were a true love child.
Shit.
What?
Keep quiet.
Let me do the talking.
Driver's license,
proof of insurance.
Can I reach
inside the glove box?
Go ahead.
Can you tell me what
I'm looking at here, sir?
Those are my travel documents.
-Travel documents?
-Yes, sir.
Well, I need to see
driver's license
and proof of insurance
for this vehicle.
This isn't a vehicle.
It's not?
No, sir. It's a conveyance.
We are not engaged in commerce.
Well, in order
to drive in this state,
you need a valid
driver's license.
I don't have a contract
with the state.
-That doesn't matter.
-I'm not driving.
-You're not?
-No, sir.
You are not driving
this vehicle?
My son and I are traveling.
We're not engaged in commerce.
We're traveling
in a private capacity.
-411. Need backup here.
-Title 18, U.S. Code.
Go ahead and step out
of the vehicle for me, sir.
Am I under arrest?
I don't know.
I haven't decided yet.
-Am I under arrest?
-You're refusing to show me
documents I need
for this vehicle.
-Am I...
-He wasn't doing anything wrong!
Am I under arrest,
or am I free to go?
No, you are not free to go.
Now, step out of the vehicle.
These are public roads!
I'm a free man traveling!
Get out of the vehicle.
-He didn't do anything!
-I-I do not...
-Get out of the...
-I do not feel safe!
-Get out of the vehicle!
-I do not feel safe!
He didn't do anything!
-Let go of him! Stop!
-Get out!
-On the ground!
-Stop! He didn't do anything!
-I'm not resisting.
-Let go of him!
Hands! Give me your hands.
-Let go of him!
-He's choking me!
You're violating my rights!
Get up. Get up.
Get up.
Don't resist, son.
Do what they tell you.
Come on. Come on.
Joe?
I'm Chief Bouchart.
This is Ms. Reese
with Social Services.
Hello.
We're sorry to keep you waiting.
Can we get you anything?
Want some water?
Where's my dad?
Well, he's fine.
He's being taken down
to County right now.
When can I see him?
That's, uh...
that's hard to say.
I need to, uh...
ask you a few questions.
Maybe you can help me get
to the bottom of what happened.
Can you do that for me?
Okay.
Where were you two headed
when you were stopped?
-Home.
-Home from where?
Tulsa.
You two were on
some kind of road trip?
My dad travels for work.
What about school?
I'm homeschooled.
And your-your dad
helps out with that?
What about your mom?
My mom's dead.
I'm sorry. Um...
how long has it been
since she passed?
I was ten.
So it's just you
and your dad now?
Your father,
has, uh, he ever been
violent towards you?
No.
Any problems
with drugs, alcohol?
Any other issues?
What do you mean?
Um, you said
he travels for work.
Does he leave you alone
for long periods?
-No.
-Okay.
Does he leave you with
plenty of food in the house?
We have enough.
What about his mental state?
Does he ever act agitated
or strange?
We found some weapons
in the van you were driving.
Now, given your dad's priors,
did you know that it's
against the law for him
to even own a firearm?
Found some other materials,
some letters. Uh...
It sounds to me like your dad
doesn't like the government
very much.
He has some interesting ideas.
First off, uh...
what's a straw man?
A straw man is like...
A straw man is...
-Everyone has a straw man.
-Okay.
And, you know, there's the...
there's the real you,
the person.
And there's the other you,
the one that
the government owns.
So, if, um,
I was to give you a ticket,
say, for driving
without a license,
uh, who would pay for it?
Would that be you
or the straw man?
The straw man.
He'd be on the hook?
-Yeah.
-Uh-huh.
So, how come you're the one
that's sitting here right now?
I mean, I don't think
it's very fair
that the straw man
gets to break all the rules
and you're the one
that's sitting in jail.
Do you see how that
doesn't make much sense
to a reasonable person,
Joe, hmm?
We have 12 rooms total.
Most of them are two to a room,
but we have one single left.
Clean clothes are in the closet,
and extra pillows
and blankets up there.
If you need anything,
I'll be down the hall, okay?
So, how do we know
we're with the wrong people?
How can we tell that?
-Mm-hmm.
-They make you feel bad.
They make you feel bad. Yeah.
That's one way, for sure.
What else about their actions?
It's wrong.
Wrong, like how?
It's illegal.
But not just illegal, right?
Something can be morally wrong.
Or it can be wrong
because it's wrong for you.
What's your choice
in that instance?
You can walk away.
You can separate yourself
from the situation.
Good. But sometimes
it's not so easy, right?
You know, sometimes it's
someone we love,
like a friend or a relative.
But, at the end of the day,
you're the only one
responsible for you.
You're the boss.
It's in!
That is time.
Your reading comprehension
is good.
Your math could use
a little work,
but not bad.
You said you've never taken
a placement test before.
Why is that?
So, usually, when someone's
homeschooled, they take a test
at the end of each year,
but it doesn't look like
you did that.
According to your record,
your dad applied for a...
religious exemption.
Is he supportive
of you going to school?
He says that he wants me to be
an independent thinker.
It sounds like he has
some strong opinions.
But you know it's important
for you to have your own voice.
And it's totally normal
for you to want
to be around kids your own age,
to go to school, to socialize.
Your dad already had his chance
to grow up.
You deserve that chance, too.
Something to think about.
Hey.
There he is.
You okay?
They didn't hurt you, did they?
I got a surprise for you.
Hey.
There she is.
Yeah. What a good girl.
-Oh, God.
-Good girl.
You poor thing.
You've sure been through it,
haven't you?
Joe, this is Lesley Anne.
You can thank her
for bailing us out.
So nice to finally meet you.
Your dad brags about you
all the time.
She drove six hours to get here.
Oh, it's the least I could do.
Your dad's been helping me out
with the bank.
If it wasn't for him,
I'd be homeless.
I mean, is driving
a right or a privilege?
You turn my right
into a privilege,
pretty soon
you don't have a judge.
You've got a criminal in prison
wearing orange
because he didn't honor
his oath of office.
I know. I know. I get it.
Just the same with my divorce.
They just keep
grinding you down.
When it comes to custody,
they'll say anything.
Say you're a drunk,
an unfit parent.
That's their playbook.
I won't do it again. I can't.
They're gonna have to kill me.
I mean, you have no idea
what I went through in there.
They look at you like...
like you're not even human,
like you don't even exist.
I almost died.
I was dying.
Now I know what...
now I know what that feels like.
We have an unusual
situation in Central Florida.
We have a real Internal Revenue
rogue agent.
-Uh, yes, I've heard.
-That's called a stalker.
Exactly. Right.
Uh, what's the problem?
She's coming after a lot of us
in the Central Valley with
-the administrative summons.
-Uh-huh.
We're doing everything
we can to return those.
We've done everything.
Where does she like to go out
and hang out at?
You pay for the bat,
I'll take care of the problem.
All you have to do is
go out to the bar
where she's hanging out at,
and then wait for her
to get drunk,
meet her out in the parking lot
and beat her ass.
Turn the tape off.
Turn the tape off.
It's just a joke.
Well, what I'm getting at is
violence doesn't solve
anything, okay?
It's not violence
that we're after.
Even the Bible tells us,
if you're gonna go and wage war
against somebody,
you have to kill their sheep and
their goats and their chickens
and their babies
and their wives, okay?
You have to kill 'em all.
Right.
Because what we're
after here is not fighting.
It's conquering.
I mean, I don't want
to have to kill anybody,
but if they keep
messing with me,
then I'm afraid that's what
it's gonna come down to,
is I'm gonna have to kill.
And if I have to kill one, then
I'm not gonna be able to stop.
I just know it.
I mean, I have
an addictive personality.
I haven't had a drink
for 18 years
'cause I can't handle the shit.
You might want to
clarify that, just a little bit.
Well, it's a matter of what
the law says about killing.
The law from the Bible tells us
that if you're gonna do it,
you have to do it right.
Well, I don't choose
to do it right.
I don't want to do it at all.
I think, uh...
I think this is
gonna be a lot of fun.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Hey, you can
just forget I'm here. Okay.
-Don't worry about it.
-Um, you can just
split it on these two cards.
We got you your own room.
We're right above you
on the tenth floor.
I got a radio show to do,
and then we're headed out.
Make sure you don't
charge anything.
-Oh, he's fine.
-I'm serious.
I won't.
No pornos.
Good evening, everyone.
It's the first Thursday
of the month,
which means we are back
with Jerry Kane.
How are you, Jerry?
Oh, well, much better today
than I was a couple weeks ago.
Yeah. We heard
a little bit about that.
Why don't you tell us
what happened?
Oh, I ran into
a Nazi checkpoint
where they were
demanding papers or jail.
That was the option.
So I entered into commerce
with them
under threat, duress
and coercion.
Spent 94 hours in there.
Winner eight.
Hey!
You are one talented individual.
Everything I signed was TDC,
by guarantor, no contract.
I'm now putting together
an invoice
for approximately $80,000
in gold
for the eight times
they used my name.
Aw.
Snake eyes.
-S-Snake eyes.
-Snake eyes.
I've already done
a background check on the cop.
I found out where he lives,
his address, his wife's name.
I'm sending him notice
of an invoice for $100 per hour
for the total 94 hours
I was there.
And then I'll move forward
with liquidating his assets
by mechanic lien sale.
They demand that you beg.
They're sick like that,
you know.
They're psychotic psychopaths.
They get a sexual thrill
out of it.
They're sick in the head.
That's all.
So we just got to play
their silly-ass little games
and go in there and, uh,
kill the monster under the bed,
so to speak.
Sorry.
One more minute, I was gone.
This sleep regression thing...
I don't want to hear about it.
He kept us up until 4:00.
It's not an excuse, but--
Well, I told you,
you just got to let him cry.
You can't go picking him up
every five seconds.
-It sets a pattern.
-I know.
Speaking of patterns,
what is this,
third day in a row
you've been late?
Yeah, I know.
We're getting there.
Well, if I were you, I wouldn't
try that sleep regression shit
with Rodney.
There's three things we want
when we take control
of somebody.
We want compliance,
control or incapacitation.
Baby chief, you're up.
First thing I go for
is compliance.
I want my top hand here,
and I want to lock that body up.
-Does everybody see that?
-Yes, sir.
Disrupt his balance.
Take him to the floor.
This is what I want.
I want that shoulder torqued up,
so if he decides to resist,
he's gonna feel it.
All right.
Everybody, pair up and
let's work on this technique.
First order. Turn around!
Hands on your head!
Down on your knees!
Down on your bellies!
Arms out to your side!
Officers, step in.
Place cuffs.
Make sure it's secure.
Compliance.
That's what today is all about.
In position.
Learning to assert dominance
through the use
of overwhelming force.
Taser, Taser, Taser! Pop!
'Cause out there in the field...
-Next up!
-Go, Adam.
...there's no time to negotiate.
Pepper spray!
Go to one!
There's no time to stop
and consider
the other person's perspective.
Stop resisting!
-Get down!
-He's down! Baton!
You have to quickly assess...
Stop resisting! Get down!
He's down! Subject!
...Is this person a threat?
-Drop your weapon!
-Do they mean me harm?
Drop your weapon!
Or is this someone
who needs my help?
-Secure!
-Water!
-Next up!
-I got you.
-Next up.
-I got you. Hey.
-Pull your weapon, and then
tell him to drop his. -Ugh.
-I know. I know.
-All right?
-He-he shot you already.
-I know. I got--
Doesn't matter how much
situational training you have,
it doesn't matter
how many skill sets you have,
because sooner or later,
you're gonna be applying this
in an unpredictable, dynamic,
real-world set of circumstances.
And that's gonna be
your true test.
That eye looks terrible.
Are you sure
you're okay to drive?
We could stop at an urgent care.
You know why they call it
"medical practice"?
Hmm?
'Cause they're practicing.
I wish Franny could see this.
She loves horses.
But they never let me
take her anywhere.
-Who doesn't?
-The lawyers.
You're her mother, aren't you?
That's God-given.
They don't have a say in that.
You want to stop
and take a picture?
No. Uh-uh. No, I can't.
Why not?
Because I told you already.
I ca-- I can't.
That thing.
What thing?
That thing that happened
when I was a little kid.
Wait, are you talking about
when you got your teeth
kicked in by a horse?
Stop it, Jerry. Stop it.
It's not funny.
I still have nightmares.
Mm-mm.
Uh-oh.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Come on.
-Oh, God.
-Come on. Get up close.
-Jerry, I can't.
-You got to face your fears.
-No, I can't.
-Hey, bullshit. Come on.
-No, I can't. I can't.
-Come on.
Hey. Yes, you can. Hey.
-I can't.
-Look at me! Look at me! Hey.
Look at me. Look at me.
Do you want to just
keep being scared?
Okay. Okay.
Okay? There you go.
-Mm.
-Okay.
-Come on, you're in charge.
-Oh.
-Oh.
-Take your time.
Oh.
Okay, no closer.
No closer than this.
-Okay.
-No closer than this.
Okay, now just put your hand up.
My hand.
Okay. You're okay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, I'm gonna pee.
Okay.
See?
You see?
You see that?
Now, that is conquering.
-Oh. -Nothing to fear
but fear itself.
I told you.
Yeah. Hi.
I hate to leave,
but I've got to get back.
My daughter's staying
with me this week.
-Franny, right?
-Yeah.
You'd like her.
She's younger than you
but not by much.
She's starting sixth grade
in the fall.
Take care of each other.
We will.
And listen to your dad.
He loves you a lot.
He's got a lot to teach you.
Thank you.
Ah.
Power's out.
I think we got this.
What time is the hearing?
8:00 a.m.
What are you gonna say
to the judge?
I'm not gonna say anything.
I've already submitted my case.
Now it's up to him to do
what's right, do what's legal.
And if he doesn't?
Well, if that's the direction
he wants to take it,
then fuck it.
We can go all the way
to the Supreme Court.
What about the house?
What about it?
Well, they're gonna sell it
if we don't pay.
They can't sell the house.
They don't have jurisdiction.
Yeah, but...
Yeah, but what, Joe?
Why are you getting
into this, huh?
I just-- I don't understand
why you're making it
such a big deal.
We have the money.
You want to give them
your money?
-You spent my money.
-Oh. Oh, okay.
Just-just 'cause
someone demands something,
you think you got to roll over
and hand it to them.
-If you owe it.
-Who?
Who says I owe it? Who?
Forget it.
I haven't received
anything from them!
You want me to pay for something
I haven't received?!
You do understand the concept
of receiving, don't you?!
Case number 15A.
Sun Mutual Bank v. Kane.
-Good morning, Your Honor.
-Good morning, Counselor.
Sir, I'd like to say
how I'm appearing today.
One moment, Mr. Kane.
Uh, Mr. Kane has declined
the services
of the public defender,
Your Honor.
Sir, I need to make
a declaration to the court.
Hang on.
You'll have your chance.
I need to look at your record.
Felonious Assault. Forgery.
Theft of a Car by Deception.
Driving Without a License.
Please note
that I am appearing today
as the administrator
for Jerry Kane.
Oh, you're not Mr. Kane?
Where is he?
Jerry Kane is a person
under color of law.
I am here in
an administrative capacity.
Your Honor, Mr. Kane is in
default of a principal balance
of $38,400
plus 9.8 percent interest.
Mr. Kane, are you prepared
to make a payment at this time?
They never validated
the debt, Your Honor.
Now, what does that mean,
exactly?
Their promissory note
is invalid.
Your Honor, Mr. Kane's
arguments have no legal
or other significance
related to the bank's filing.
Mr. Kane,
I agree with plaintiff,
and frankly,
the court is not amused.
Your Honor, my appearance today
is merely a courtesy.
Are you or are you not
Jerry Kane?
That name refers to a person
under color of law.
I'm looking for a Jerry Kane!
Please sit down.
Sit down!
Bailiff, remove this man
from the courtroom.
I am trying to remedy-- No!
Touch me and you will be
charged with--
I am a peace officer!
This is common law jurisdiction
I established!
I'm gonna rule in favor
of the plaintiff.
We'll take a recess.
Thank you. All rise.
-Where's my remedy?
-You don't have one!
For the record,
I am being denied my remedy!
Okay, uh, actually, please note
that the judge has
abandoned the court!
He has abandoned ship!
I, as a sovereign, claim
jurisdiction over this matter!
Case dismissed
with prejudice and cause!
Have a nice day.
-What happened?
-They abandoned ship.
They deserted the court
like cowards.
-Well, what does that mean?
-It means we won.
They didn't have jurisdiction.
The judge knew it.
When I called him on it,
he fled.
Hey. Hey, little bubba.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
You're gonna spoil that child.
He's cranky today.
Still not sleeping too good.
That's 'cause you don't listen.
I keep telling you,
never pick up a crying baby.
Yeah, I hear you.
I'm serious.
They're willful creatures.
You're either gonna break them
or they're gonna break you.
Well, I think
that battle's been lost.
He pretty much rules the roost
around here.
Isn't that right, bubba? Hmm?
I swear, that is
the fussiest kid.
He's just a baby.
So?
We never let Adam act like that.
Well, that's 'cause
you were always riding him.
You still are.
You think every nail
needs a hammer.
What's that supposed to mean?
Means you should
give him a break.
Stop making him feel like
he always has to please you.
-Please me?
-Yeah.
Well, he turned out great.
Well, it wouldn't hurt you to
tell him every once in a while.
Hey there, guys.
Congratulations.
-Thanks, Chief.
-Congratulations, really.
Yeah. Congratulations.
Oh, we got Dirty Harry here.
To the graduates
of class 18-5:
that badge you wear
on your chest,
it does not belong to you.
It is not yours.
It belongs to the people
who commissioned you to wear it.
So wear it with great honor,
integrity and pride.
-Hear, hear.
-Cheers.
Okay, everybody, get together.
We're gonna take a picture.
-Spouses or no spouses?
-All. Everybody in.
-Make sure to get baby chief
in there. -Squeeze together.
-Everybody. -Oh, do not
say that about my son.
Okay, look up.
-Look up.
-Scene of the crime.
-Come on, honey. Come on.
-Come on. Get in.
-Let's go. Come on.
-Go.
Come on. Here we go.
Thank you.
I'm here to register.
-Are you a new student?
-Yeah.
Did you bring your paperwork?
No, not really.
Okay, well,
in order to register,
you need to provide proof
of residency, immunizations,
and if you're a minor,
-a written consent from a parent
or legal guardian. -Okay.
So, when you have
all that ready,
you can come back
and we can get you started.
Um, is that written down
somewhere?
Did you create
an account online?
That's the first thing
you need to do.
You can find all this
information on there.
And what about
the placement test?
You're gonna have to sign up
for that online as well.
-I can't do it here?
-No, sir.
But make sure
you register by the 15th.
Tests are given on the first.
That's the only day.
Um, and what if I can't get
parental consent?
If that's a problem,
you can apply for an exemption.
But that requires an interview.
And you'll still need to provide
proof of residency
and immunizations.
-Okay?
-Yeah. Thanks.
Sheriff's Department. Open up!
Dad? Dad!
Sheriff's Department.
You need to come to the door.
County sheriff.
We're here to serve
a court-ordered eviction.
I'm sorry.
You guys can't come in.
This house has been
foreclosed on.
We're gonna need you
to vacate the premises.
But I-I need to-- Dad!
I need you to step outside.
I-- Hold on. I got--
I need to get my dog.
Okay. Who else is
in the house with you?
-My dad.
-Where?
Um, in the bedroom.
Okay. Any guns on the property?
I'm gonna need you to step out
to the curb for me, please.
-What about our stuff?
-We'll have a crew
bring your things
to the end of the driveway.
Mr. Kane?
Mr. Kane?
County sheriff. Come out
or we're breaking down the door.
Where are we going?
Which way am I supposed to go?
How the hell
am I supposed to know, Joe?
You're the one
calling the shots now,
deciding who comes, who goes.
-What are you talking about?
-You let them in.
Let them? They pushed past me.
They can't come in
unless you invite them.
It's called a warrant.
I didn't fucking invite them!
-Mendacity!
-What?
-Mendacity!
-Stop yelling!
Mendacity!
Get off here.
Why?
Just get off.
-Where am I going?
-Keep driving.
Pull over.
Give me the keys.
Come on back here.
I need to show you something.
Back in colonial times,
when someone accused you
of mendacity,
that was a stain on your honor.
A stain on your good name.
If you were a gentleman,
you would demand satisfaction.
Pick.
-Why?
-Pick!
At the agreed upon time,
you would meet
at the field of combat,
and you would each
walk out ten paces.
-One...
-Dad.
...two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
You would turn
and face your opponent.
-Dad, stop!
-And give the signal!
Present!
-What the fuck are you doing?!
-Present!
Dad, this is
fucking insane! Stop!
Present!
And fire!
It's the first Thursday
of the month,
and we are back with Jerry Kane.
Jerry, how the hell are you?
Oh, I've seen better days.
You sound
a little worse for wear.
Probably all that travel.
Well, I don't mind
the travel if...
you know, as long as
I can keep the chains off of me.
The bank sent a bunch of
illegals out here this morning
-to do their bidding.
-Illegals?
Yeah, you know,
they use illegals
for this sort of thing
'cause they know it's a crime.
That way, they've got leverage.
So, a bunch of them showed up
and executed a seizure
without a warrant.
Forced us off the property under
threat, duress and coercion.
Oh, God.
Anyways, I've already started
the administrative procedure.
I'll send it over to you so
you can put it up on the site.
So, unfortunately, I've had
to cut down on some dates.
It's just that
I had a class back in January
and not one person
showed up for it.
You are kidding.
And it's expensive, you know?
With travel and the hotel
every night and everything.
And then getting back
to this, uh,
to this deed of trust...
They think they can just,
you know, keep squeezing blood
-out of a stone.
-Mm.
But at some point,
you have to let them know
that you won't be pushed
any further.
-Right.
-You have to remember
who you are, and don't let them
talk you out of it.
Don't bend over. Don't cower.
Remember, they're the slave
and you're the master.
So, what's all this?
That is my signature.
That is my payment.
That's legal tender.
Sir, you marked out
half the contract.
Yeah. It's fine. It's fine.
It's just me and my son.
I can't accept that.
Why not?
You don't accept U.S. dollars?
You should just go.
You don't accept U.S. dollars?
Okay.
You don't accept U.S. currency!
What happened?
"And there was no room
for them at the inn."
Don't forget your prayers.
Yeah.
Mom and Baby Candy and who else?
Jesus.
Why do we pray to Baby Candy?
What do you mean?
I mean, she was a baby.
So what?
Babies don't have souls?
No. I just...
Just don't think it's good to be
thinking about it all the time.
I guess I'd like
to forget about it.
Your mother and I...
...we went in
to get her one morning.
There she was,
lying there all peaceful.
She didn't have a mark on her.
But the rule makers,
they weren't satisfied.
They knew it was SIDS,
but they wanted to cut her open.
Take this out.
Analyze that.
That is something I hope
you never have to go through.
'Cause you are
never gonna get over it.
To think that the government
has more of a right
to your own child than you do.
Well, lookee here.
We might just be on time.
-You get any sleep?
-We did.
Eventually.
You do what I told you?
Yeah. It wasn't easy though.
I mean, he screamed like crazy.
Jess had to go get earplugs
and sleep in the other room.
Honestly, I hated it.
It worked though, didn't it?
Yeah.
What time you guys
headed out to the lake?
I told your mother
to be ready about 10:00.
-She packed?
-You know your mom.
She starts packing
a week before.
-You're one to talk.
-Me?
Hey, I'm a shorts
and flip-flops guy.
You know that. Come on.
Yeah, right.
Uniform looks good.
We're getting on the road now.
We should be there
in about six hours.
You can, or you can send my bill
to the gestapo.
All right. You, too.
Hey, that was Lesley Anne.
She's gonna let us stay
at her place for a while.
For how long?
Just until things
with the house get sorted.
What about my placement test?
-What about it?
-I have it on the first.
I don't know what to tell you.
You're gonna
have to postpone it.
I can't postpone it.
-You're gonna have to.
-Bullshit!
-You knew this was coming!
-Hey!
This is serious!
This ain't
no fucking around now!
Now, I know you're disappointed,
but I need you to be
an adult about this.
Dad?
Dad.
-What's the problem, Officer?
-Hey, why don't you stay
-right there for me, okay, sir?
-Why was I pulled over?
I need you to stay by your car.
I'd like to know why my travel
is being obstructed.
And I will tell you.
But first I need to see your
license and registration, okay?
Is this car registered
in your name?
This is my car.
My son and I are traveling.
Traveling where?
That's private family business.
We're traveling
in a private capacity.
All right, here's what I want.
I need you to go over there and
wait by your car for me, okay?
What are you doing?
-Hey, what's up?
-No fucking clue.
Guy doesn't have a license.
Handed me these.
This is about
conquering now, right?
We need to conquer.
-This is an illegal stop.
-Sir.
-Sir, get back in the car.
-What law did I break?
Get back in the car right now!
-Tell me what law I broke
and I'll comply. -Sir. Sir.
-Now.
-You have no warrant!
-You have no probable cause!
-Keep talking,
-you're getting arrested.
-For what?
That's it. All right,
hands behind your back.
-You're under arrest.
-No, I'm not!
-You have no jurisdiction!
-You're under arrest!
Give me your hands.
-No!
-Give me your hand.
Stop resisting!
On the ground!
No! No!
Stop resisting!
-Give me-- give me your arm!
-This is assault!
-This is assault!
-Stop!
No!
No! You're assaulting me!
-You're assaulting!
-Get on the ground!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
No!
Uh, I thought
you turned that off.
That's not our frequency.
Must be Highway Patrol.
All units respond.
Call three to Interstate 40,
mile marker 275.
Unit three. Unit three.
State trooper's down.
Oh, God.
Dispatch,

Must be one of Jim Ellis's guys.
This is one-four.
I'm southbound on Rain View.
I'm four minutes out.
Coming in, one-four.
Dispatch 401,

Uh, possible officer shot.

That's at 275 mile marker.

Stay in the car.
Stay in the car.
Chief. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Is it Adam?
John!
John!
Is it Adam?
Please tell me it's not Adam.
Is it...
Wait, I got to go--
Get your shirt off.
Here. Put it in here.
Put it in here.
Don't touch anything.
All right.
All right, all right.
Get in there.
Scrub. Scrub.
Get under your nails.
Get your forearms.
Okay. Dry off.
Dry off.
Hurry up.
Okay, what-what'd you touch?
Don't-don't touch anything else.
Hurry up!
-Hey, hey!
-Huh?
-What are you doing?
-Well--
-I said get dressed!
-I am. I just--
No, you're not!
You're fucking around!
Well, Molly's hungry.
She hasn't eaten anything.
-Joe?
-There's, like, not even--
-Joe...
-Oh, but she--
-Joe!
-Hey, hey!
Do what I fucking tell you!
Hey!
-Get off of me!
-Joe!
Hey!
Joe!
-Joe!
-Get away from me!
Listen to me!
Joe.
-Get away from me.
-Listen to me.
-Listen to me! Listen to me!
-No! Get off me!
-I need you to calm down!
-Let go!
I need you to calm down,
all right?
-I need you to be strong.
-No! I want to go home!
They drew first blood, remember?
No! I want to go home!
They brought this on themselves!
Violence is a violation,
remember?!
-I want-- I want Mom!
-We need to conquer.
No, we need to conquer now.
I want my mom.
We need to conquer.
I want Mom.
We need to conquer now, son.
We need to conquer now, son.
Patty's back at the house.
Jess is on the way there now.
Told the guys to stick around
just in case
they needed anything.
We got a statewide APB out
for the van, Chief.
We're gonna get 'em.
Meet you back here in five.
Let me get four boxes
of the nine millimeter
and another four of the .308s.
Thank you.
It means a lot.
I'm so sorry. I-I'm so sorry.
Why don't you get off your feet?
Thank you.
Yeah.
