The Militia (2025) Movie Script
1
What do we have?
Three rifles.
We should join Sammy.
Understood.
Do you see them?
No, I don't see anything.
They're behind those trees.
They're waiting for us to come in.
We can't shoot what we don't see.
You have to go explore.
I am always the explorer.
You are the smallest target.
I don't want to be a target.
Hey, let's cover you.
Go.
Shit.
Contact!
They gave me. They gave me.
- Left side.
- Tactical drag.
- Where did they give you?
-
Left arm, but I can still shoot.
- Did you hit someone?
- We rescued you.
I thought they were going to cover me.
What is the situation? We heard shots.
They hit Sammy and there's
a group of them in the trees.
And our rearguard?
Russ already took care of that.
A shot in the head.
- It seemed painful.
- Good.
They are the only ones left.
Let's surround these guys.
John, go left.
Open suppressive fire.
Daniel, Russ, come with me. We
are going to press on the right.
- I'll go ahead. Russ, you follow me.
- Understood.
I'm going to cover them.
You better. Come on.
Get down.
- They hit me!
- Dejected white.
Separate.
Recharging.
Recharging.
Grenade.
They gave me.
End of the game.
Tyler, are you okay?
I'm fine.
This is how it is done.
- Hey, good game.
- Good game.
Good game.
End of the game.
THE MILITIA Very
well, first of all,
Let's work on posture.
Imagine the train tracks.
Feet in front, shoulder width apart.
We are wearing the
equipment. Bend your knees.
Align the plates.
This protects us. We
wear bulletproof vests.
Do not rotate to expose
an unprotected area.
Stay straight ahead.
If they are shot in the center of
the chest, will impact the plate.
Don't turn sideways.
They can't lose
line of sight, right?
It's heel and toe.
White on the left.
White on the right. Yeah? It's like that.
Show me. Squatting
position, aggressive posture.
Keep it up. Heel and toe.
Good. White on the left. Good.
Turn right. Go back to the center.
Put the rifle in the back.
Switch to secondary weapon.
Let's hold her to our chest, okay?
Extend the weapon towards the target.
Bang, bang, bang.
Dejected whites. Pick up.
We look for other targets. Clear area.
Put it back on.
There are no threats.
Stay alert.
Store it safely in the case.
Then they remove the white,
They save their partner
and look around that
corner to shoot, okay?
Right foot out. Good.
We can't see through
that wall, can we?
It is the "cutting the cake"
technique. We start from here.
And we're cutting the cake. Understood?
When turned, they dominate the entire room.
They crouch down and then cover that angle.
That is. Good.
Very good. Good!
Let's arm these guys.
Raise the gun. Keep it up.
Keep going. Be careful with the
curve. It comes from the left. Good.
Protect your partner.
Higher, you have to see through
the scope. Good. Continue.
Good. Lower your elbow. Be
careful not to stick your elbow out.
Slowly. Good elbow position.
We're going to attack
in one, two, three, four.
Now they turn here.
We continue forward.
Right side. Good.
Right in front.
Look around that corner.
Good job.
Hello, dad.
How was the operation?
It was great.
Tyler and I pulled off a flawless
pincer maneuver and won.
Double confrontation?
I like it.
Yes sir.
Any casualties?
Well, Sammy got hit in the
arm, but he was the explorer.
It was not a flawless victory.
Yes, but Sammy is terrible.
Well, a good commander should
always minimize losses, right?
General Patton said, "You don't
win wars by dying for your country..."
"They win by making
the other die for theirs."
So sometimes you listen.
I always listen to you.
You didn't listen to me this morning
when I asked you to do your homework.
I did my homework.
No, you didn't remove the
weeds from the northern paddock.
- You didn't ask me.
- Yes, I did.
- You didn't ask me...
- Don't argue.
Yes sir.
Very good.
Your mom is preparing dinner.
Remove weeds before eating.
- Yes sir.
- Very good.
Cookies for dessert?
You can't take them all, dear.
Where are they from?
From the Girls Scouts.
Did you tell them I don't want sales here?
- Even if they are cookies?
- Even if they are cookies.
I bought them in town, Lee. The
girls were in front of the market.
They shouldn't let them do
that. This is how beggars begin.
Isn't that shit illegal?
Take care of the language.
Well, in my opinion, it's begging.
Don't look at me like
that. I only like cookies.
I can throw them away if you want.
We leave them.
- Can we go shooting tomorrow?
- My God. Chew, boy.
Sorry.
Can we shoot tomorrow
for my birthday?
Don't you have school tomorrow?
No.
Yes.
Please let me miss tomorrow.
It's my birthday.
Sorry, boy.
How was the weekend?
Militia practice
is this weekend.
I have to meet with Nathan.
I have a lot of rifles to repair
and adjust before that, so...
You're going to shoot.
Not for fun.
Then take me with you to the militia.
I shoot better than many of them.
It's probably true.
I love that you want to join
and, if it were up to me, I would
leave you, but it doesn't depend on me.
And from what I know,
you're turning 17, not 18.
So you can't come.
Meanwhile,
Behave yourself. Wash
the dishes before bed.
Yes sir.
Hey, I'm going to sleep.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Good night.
- I love them.
- Me too.
Time is up.
Let's see.
What is this?
That?
No. 12 is a shrugging doll.
He didn't know the answer.
Obviously. I'll finish
correcting it later.
Let's move on to History.
Bring your notes, I hope you took them,
and tell me about the Battle of Shiloh.
The Battle of Shiloh was
fought on April 6 and 7, 1862.
At Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee.
The Confederates
attacked the Union to stop
their advance in
Mississippi, but they failed.
And who was in charge?
Albert Sidney Johnston
and P.T. Beauregard for the
Confederacy, and Ulysses S.
Grant and Buell for the Union.
What were the armies?
The Army of Mississippi with
the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Corps
and Reserve, the Army of
Tennessee from the 1st to the
6th Division, and four divisions
of the Army of the Ohio.
The Union had 63,000 soldiers
and the Confederates had
40,000, yet the Confederates almost won.
Why didn't they win?
Because they did not take the opportunity
to attack when the Union was withdrawing.
They waited until the next morning, but by
then, Buell had already
called for reinforcements.
And what is the lesson?
Defeat your enemy when you can.
Very good.
If you were dedicated
to agriculture as
well as history, you would not draw dolls.
Yes, but farming is boring.
Farming is what fuels
your body and one
day you will take
over the family farm...
Hello, did you forget something?
No.
What am I interrupting?
Battle of Shiloh. General
Johnston is retiring.
How exciting.
But you'll have to shut
up if we're going to shoot.
Really?
It's your birthday.
Of course!
Come back for dinner, okay?
I'll make that chicken you like.
Yes, ma'am.
What do you want to shoot today?
I was thinking about what you said
about wanting to join the military.
- Can I come in earlier?
- No.
But if you're joining next year,
I think it's time you
got your own weapon.
Train a little,
Take responsibility first.
Can I choose any?
Any gun you like is yours.
The 1911.
How fast.
- You're sure?
- Positive.
That seems fine to me. Ask for it.
I want this one.
Are you sure you know how to manipulate it?
Yes.
Recharge.
Shoot.
Good shot. Mozambique.
Last shots.
This is how it is done.
It was ok. Very good.
Good shots. Come on, finish.
Very good. Here you go.
Thank you. It's a good day, friend.
- Thanks for everything.
- Yes. See you on Saturday?
- Yes, see you in practice.
- Well.
You know you'll have to clean
it when you get home, right?
I know.
It's not going anywhere, except
at the shooting range or with me.
I know.
If your friends want to
play, Tell them it's not a toy.
Dad, I know.
You've been telling me
this since I learned to walk.
- I promise I will be responsible.
- EITHER...?
Or I'll deal with you.
See? I hear you.
Park the car.
That's right, hands on the wheel.
License and documents, please.
I stopped him because the
license plates are expired.
- Do you want to tell me where you come from?
- No, we don't want to.
What is your name, sir?
I don't need to reveal that information.
In that case, I must
also see your license.
State law establishes
that only the driver
of the vehicle must
present his documentation.
Do you know this man?
Does he force you to go somewhere?
If you have to talk to
someone, talk to me
As far as I know, Stanley Dietrich
was in charge in this county.
Why don't you get out of the
truck? Come talk to me in the back.
No, thanks.
I'm sure you know
that state law states
that, when I see weapons
in the back of a vehicle,
I have reason to search you
on suspicion of smuggling.
Stay here.
SHERIFF
CARSON COUNTY
Hold this.
Put your hands where you can see them.
Do you want to show me what's
under that tarp besides rifles?
See for yourself.
That's how it's going to be, huh?
Oh.
Do you have the documentation
for these weapons?
Aren't you going to talk to me?
can speak
or I will arrest them while I check
the registration of these weapons.
Boy, get off the truck.
Stay there.
If you wife my son,
we will have a big problem.
Well, check them all.
The boy stays here.
Well.
Come here, show me your hands.
Come with me.
- Dad!
- Go home, Daniel.
We have to talk.
Half of these rifles are automatic.
I guess you know.
The problem is that he
doesn't have a class III license,
but considering where we live,
He is not the only one who breaks that law.
Furthermore, you are an important
member of the local militia.
Am I right?
Maybe half of those
weapons aren't his. Maybe yes.
My biggest problem...
is this.
What are you doing with this, Mr. Pierce?
This doesn't look good.
He has a lot of unregistered
weapons and a notebook
with detailed notes on
the Sheriff's Department.
radio frequencies,
code lists,
usual routes, sometimes up to the minute.
I would be impressed,
If it weren't a little worrying.
Is it illegal to note where a
particular vehicle is going?
I don't think he's taking notes to
keep an eye on the neighborhood.
He's watching us
and, from experience, "watch"
is a fancy way of saying "hunt."
You better give me a good reason
for what he's doing, because this
will cause you a lot of problems.
You know, the military and the police...
We are on the same team.
Really?
Can you explain it?
No.
Very well, then.
Please wait here.
He must appear at the county
courthouse in two weeks for
his preliminary and
subsequent hearings.
That gives you time to talk to
me about what happened today.
Very well, you can go.
Mr. Pierce.
Ten thousand dollars in fines await you
and maybe time in prison.
I'm talking two years
just for the guns.
Please,
reconsider your stance on whether
or not we are on the same side.
Come on.
- What are we going to do, Lee?
- I'm thinking.
Expired registrations. Damn!
The police are only good for that.
Those sons of bitches swear
allegiance to the Constitution:
defend it and enforce it.
They don't care about people's rights.
"Same team", no way.
Are they really going to condemn you?
You can't go to jail.
How can I help?
- I have to talk to Nathan.
- Now?
I don't trust talking on the phone.
Sorry, I don't have ice.
Honey, can you wait with Kathleen?
Alright.
You picked the worst time
to get in trouble with the law.
I knew about the weapons,
but I thought it was just a trip.
It's Daniel's birthday.
Everything will be fine.
That mentality is going to ruin you.
Dude, you're in trouble.
Since when does the sheriff
stop you for expired license plates?
And who is this idiot Webb?
Stanley retired and they
just elected this Webb.
He's the new sheriff, He
works like crazy and acts good.
The days of Dietrich
turning a blind eye are over.
I don't know where to start.
Start by getting my weapons back, Lee.
I'm not going to let
the government take my
assets from you because
of that registry shit.
They are now in the warehouse.
We'll see.
I'm more worried about the
court. He threatened me with jail.
Foolishness. You won't go to jail.
Webb may be angry, but the
judge was not born yesterday.
He'll give you a fine and you'll move on.
And if not?
He found my black notebook.
- No.
- Yes, he found it.
Oh my gosh, Lee!
I didn't think they would search the truck.
Good job getting attention.
For expired registrations!
I'm not going around
robbing the town store.
It could have been you, friend.
No, because that didn't happen, right?
Alright.
You're right. I admit it.
But now I'm not the only
one who has a problem.
If they show that notebook,
I go to trial, and then what?
Nathan...
If they make me swear on that
Bible, I will be in the hands of God.
When they ask whose weapons
they are, I will say your name.
And the names Forrest and Jackson.
Sheriff Webb will have what
it takes to come after you
again and take what you have.
And everything will go to shit.
I can't allow it, much less go to prison.
We'll talk to the boys.
Your honor, The accused
is here and I am ready.
You can proceed.
Under the protection of the Constitution
of the United States of America,
we are here today
exercising our rights.
Please stay seated.
We will not harm them.
What the hell is going on here?
Hey, hey!
Lee Pierce has been wrongfully accused
by this government before you.
They want to make an example of
him to intimidate us and subdue us.
Today we came to say that
we will not let them scare us,
intimidate us or force
us to give up our rights.
So, judge, you are not
going to sentence Lee Pierce
today or any other day.
If you are so sure of
Mr. Pierce's innocence,
let him have a fair trial.
Your system is not fair and until it is,
none of us will submit to him.
You don't decide which law is best for you.
A law that cannot be
enforced is not a law.
Try to take our weapons away
and see if you live to tell the tale.
That is.
Any law enforcement officer
who causes trouble for these good
citizens I protect will be shot.
And, with God as my witness,
this statement is my law.
Company, stand down.
Have a good day.
And you too.
Watch where you're going.
Well, wait here.
You can go up.
- I have it.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- You are welcome.
Do you think the sheriff will do something?
If you have common sense,
you won't do anything.
Aren't you breaking the law?
Well, the laws are complicated.
There are laws that make sense
in some places and not in others.
Some laws are not good laws.
They are not fair.
Does it make sense?
I think so.
Do you know that there
are good and bad people?
Clear.
Good...
Sometimes bad people become
in judges, politicians,
sometimes even in police officers.
Do you think the sheriff is bad?
I think he is acting wrong
because someone corrupt ordered it
and he believes that justifies everything.
What if the sheriff comes for you?
Do you remember when
you were bullied in church?
Yeah.
What did I tell you to do?
Let him face them.
And you did it.
Hell, you pushed Russ down the
stairs when he made fun of you.
And what happened?
- I got into trouble.
- Yes, you got into trouble,
but the boys stopped
bothering you, right?
Yes.
That's it.
Do you regret what you did?
That's right, because it
was worth fighting for.
There are things in this life
why it is worth going to trouble
to defend what you believe in.
And believe me,
There are more bad people
than good people in this world.
If you have the opportunity,
They will take everything from you.
What is the rule of survival?
- Hunt or be hunted.
- That's how it is.
Soon you will learn
that you should think
like that about people,
the press and the government.
Never forget it.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
forgive our offenses,
Just as we also forgive
those who offend us,
do not lead us into temptation
and deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
Thank you all for coming
today and have a blessed Sunday.
I'm glad to see you. How are you doing?
Today's sermon was nice.
I'll stay with the boys for a
while if that's okay with you.
Alright. He only
comes home for dinner.
- Yes sir.
- You can go.
I'm sorry. Are
the children okay?
Oh my god, friend!
Your dad is going to war
against the Sheriff's Department.
He's just standing up
for what he believes in.
- That's how wars are.
- Calm down, friends.
- Wait for the session to start.
- Let it begin then.
Very good.
I declare the 43rd meeting
of the Wild Gang has begun.
Hooray, hooray!
I wish I had been at the
courthouse when the militia arrived.
I wish I had been in the
military. Now that's great.
Dude, it was crazy.
They all broke in armed to the
teeth and surrounded the place.
Nathan gave a great speech
about justice and the false
accusation against my dad.
He said if it can't be
enforced, It is not a law.
Can't the police
enforce the laws?
No, I think he meant that
the police are abusing him.
What they do to us exceeds their authority.
They shouldn't mess with the military.
Wait until they mess with us.
TRUE? We are faster
than many of them.
Because we are half their size.
My dad is so fat he should
be a sniper, he barely moves.
If we keep training,
imagine what we can
achieve when it's our turn.
Live free or die.
Yes.
Good. Let's play airsoft.
Sorry, friend. I can't go.
I have to work in the field.
Yes, I can't either.
My car broke down this morning.
so I'm going to make it up to John.
Are you coming too, Dan?
No.
I think I'll go home and
clean my new one. 45 then.
Lie.
It's not a lie. They gave
it to me for my birthday.
Try it.
You'll see her on the weekend.
It's militia shooting day.
Yes.
- I'm going to use it in the competition.
- Shit.
Wait. Do you
really have one. 45?
Yes.
Wow. I wish my dad
loved me so much.
Maybe he'll love you if you
win the shooting competition.
We all know it won't happen.
You're not going to win either, idiot.
Don't be so sure.
Keep dreaming, friend.
We will take a group photo,
so come uniformed and equipped.
Yes sir.
Okay, I'm leaving.
I'm going to see if John's
sister can polish my rifle.
"Russ...Russy...Yes."
I'm going to kill you.
Dad, dad.
Can you help me with something?
It depends on what it is.
I need a uniform for shooting day.
I wanted to go to the army store.
What is the uniform for?
The boys and I thought it
was good to wear a uniform.
To look like a squad.
Come with me.
I hope the mice haven't damaged it.
Great, my old skateboard.
I remember her.
How about this one?
Do my old uniforms work for you?
I wanted camouflage,
but these are great.
Very good.
- Are these things from your time in the army?
- Yes.
Why don't you ever talk about it?
Well, there's not much to tell.
I needed money, I served four
years and moved on with my life.
I knew they were here.
Wow, great.
Can I use them?
- Do you want to use my plates?
- Yes.
It misses the point a
little, but that's okay.
They are great because they are yours.
This is all great, dad.
Well enjoy them.
- Yes sir.
- Very good.
My God.
Can I show the
manuals to the kids?
Whatever you want,
just don't kill each other
with a chokehold or anything.
No, sir.
Are you ready for the competition?
Yes sir.
- I'm going to humiliate Tyler.
- That's my son.
I have to go back to work.
Sort everything, put it away
and close it when you're done.
- Yes sir.
- Very good, son.
Now we move on to the
competition for under 18s.
All of you,
young militia aspirants,
form a line at firing
range number 2.
Good luck, guys. They will need it.
- Well.
- Yes, good luck.
You're going down, Ty.
Actually, I'm going to take
that trophy, but thanks, Russ.
Go to hell, Daniel.
What if I win?
Sammy, if you win, I'll kill myself.
Maybe I have to kill you first.
Don't know. How about
I kill them all to win?
You'll run out of bullets
before you hit anyone.
You're going to die first.
- Five bullets.
- Okay, Russ. You die first.
Very good. Work that
out at the shooting range.
For the love of God.
Hey, you or me.
Pay attention.
Each will have ten
shots at the target at
nine meters, ten shots at the target at 23
meters, four shots at the target tree and
one shot at the ace of
diamonds at 46 meters.
Whoever scores the most
points in the shortest time wins.
Load up and prepare, gentlemen.
Shooters ready.
Shooters waiting.
Very good. We add the
points and the winner is...
Daniel Pierce.
Hey, good aim.
- Thank you, dad.
- Well done.
- Good aim, Tyler.
- Thank you.
Oh my God...
Sammy beat John.
I can't believe it.
- John, you're horrible.
- Damn.
Damn, damn.
Come on, friend.
- Go to hell.
- Well done, Sammy.
- Well done, friend.
- I have practiced.
It just can't be. What a disaster.
There's always next year, friend.
Damn! Damn! What the fuck!
My God. Take John's gun
before he kills someone.
I think that makes
Daniel the commander.
Yes, but everyone knows
who the real boss is.
Yes.
I.
- Hello, mom.
- Hello! Just in time. How did it go?
It was ok. Dad came second.
Brilliant. Were you
upset about not winning?
Yes a bit.
And how did it go for you?
- It went well for me.
- Only good?
Yes, first place is enough for me.
I knew it, I knew it!
Let's see.
Place it over the
fireplace and set the table.
Yes of course.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
-Hey, what's for dinner?
- Lasagna.
Great.
Your dad is coming home for dinner, right?
Yes.
He stayed to help Nathan put
everything away, but he's coming back.
- I was with Tyler...
- Don't move. Hands up.
Where's Lee Pierce?
- Don't know.
- What's going on there?
High. Back, back, back.
Where is he?
It's not here.
Lie!
Where is he?
Where is?
We have an arrest warrant.
You have no right to
enter our house like that.
Where's Lee?
Okay, hands on the refrigerator.
Do not move.
Where is he?
My God! Enough!
Back. Now.
Are you OK?
Go to hell.
- Where is your father?
- Get out of my house!
Hey!
- Are you OK?
- Yes.
Get out of here.
Go away.
Her husband is a fugitive.
Get out!
Let's go.
I'm going to call Nathan.
Stay here and let me
know if they come back.
Hi Kat, it's Ellie. Is Lee there?
Yes please.
He's still with Nathan.
Do you see something?
No, not yet.
Hello. What do you need?
Lee, the sheriff just raided the
house with guns and an arrest warrant.
Wow, wow. Was the
sheriff inside the house?
Yes. They broke down the
front door and the back door.
It was horrible.
Are you OK? Is Daniel there?
Yes, we are fine.
Very good, Did they take
something or leave something?
I don't think so.
I don't know. He had his hands against
the refrigerator when they searched.
Daniel, did you see them take anything?
- No.
- I don't think they took anything.
See if they didn't install a
microphone in the bedroom.
Are they still there?
No, they left.
Did you say something to him?
No, but, Lee,
I don't know where they went. You
must be careful when you come back.
OK. Hang in there, darling.
Nathan...
Nathan!
The sheriff raided my house with a warrant.
Do you have where to hide me?
- Is it code black?
- Code black.
I'll be ready in 20 minutes.
Make it ten.
Honey, I'm not coming
home. You understand?
Nathan is going to take me to safety.
Lee, you have to come home.
What if they are waiting for me
on the road or somewhere else?
I can't risk it.
So you go out there and we
just wait for you to come back?
We had already talked about it.
It doesn't mean I like it.
I don't like it either
but it's better than jail.
What do you want me to do?
Very good.
Take care of the farm in my absence.
Remember to plant the southern paddock.
Give Nathan any
information about the sheriff.
and help Daniel protect the place.
Put Daniel on the phone.
Be careful, Lee.
Yes, ma'am.
I love you.
I love you too.
Daniel, talk to your father.
Dad, what's happening?
Are you OK?
No, that cretin put
a gun to my chest.
Did Webb do that?
No, the assistant.
If they try again, you
can defend yourself.
Yes sir.
Hey, I have to hide for a while.
In my absence, You are
the man of the house, yes?
Yes sir.
Don't let anyone
in you don't trust.
Protect your mother at all costs.
Do what is necessary.
Yes sir.
I have to cut.
I'm proud of today.
If you need to contact me,
Leave a note on the hunting tree.
This remains between us.
No need to worry your
mom. Take care of yourself.
You too.
Mother.
Hello.
Hello.
Had something like this happened before?
Yes. About ten years ago,
something similar happened.
How did it end?
There was a big confrontation
between the police and some men.
In the end, those men fled
at dawn and left the state.
Did the police win?
Yes and no.
But they had to leave town.
But they didn't give the
police what they wanted either.
It seems like a defeat to me.
Come here.
I wish I could find a way
to negotiate with the sheriff.
I think something more
is going to be needed.
Yes.
I think Nathan and the guys
are trying to think of something.
Yes, but they won't tell me anything.
Their stupid age rule excludes
me and I can't do anything.
I know you don't like it, but you're a boy.
You should be doing things your age.
They don't want you to get in trouble.
But I want to get in trouble.
I mean, we're already in trouble.
I know, but everything will be okay.
And if not?
Even if things go wrong,
everything will be fine.
That doesn't make sense.
Yes, it does.
Take a deep breath. Let's keep fighting.
If I did something with the
military, would you get angry?
No, if you were allowed.
Do you have something in mind?
No, just something to help dad.
Keeping everything safe
here already helps dad.
But it is not enough.
Yes it is.
We just have to hold on, okay?
I'll try.
I love you.
I love you too.
Then the Lord said to Cain,
Why are you angry?
Why are you so crestfallen?
If you do the right thing,
you will be accepted.
But if you don't do the
right thing, sin is at the door.
Sin wants to conquer you,
But you must master it."
And Cain said to his brother Abel,
"Let us go out into the field."
While they were in the field, Cain
attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Then, the Lord said to Cain...
Very good, friends.
We lost. Dan won.
Dan will be in charge for the next year.
It's all yours...
for now.
Thanks, Ty.
I now call the 44th
meeting of the Wild Gang.
Hooray, hooray!
Very good.
I know we joke a lot, but I have to
talk to you about something serious.
The sheriff raided
my house the other
day looking for my dad and now he's gone.
Were you there when they raided?
My mom and I were there.
They restrained me
and pointed a gun at me.
I can't believe it.
Did the sheriff do that?
It was one of his thugs, yes.
Did they touch your mother?
I couldn't see.
That can't be legal.
Did they have a court order or something?
He said yes.
They have to show it to you.
Well, he didn't show it.
I bet he didn't have it.
Police officers always do illegal things.
Yes.
My grandfather was a police officer and
he said they planted
evidence all the time.
It's hard to see something like
that when they point it at your chest.
What is your dad going to do?
He's hiding.
He asked me to protect my mother and
that made me think that things
have to change around here.
As?
I think we should do
what the military is doing.
- Do you agree?
- Of course.
We all know how to shoot.
Clear. Some better than others.
Shut up, Sammy.
If they don't let us join the
militia, Let's form one of our own.
In essence, we are already a militia.
We are a group united
to protect people.
Count on me.
Yes, I will.
Me too.
And then what? Shall
we return to airsoft?
Saying we are a militia
does not make us one.
That's why we train as one.
My dad gave me campaign manuals with all
kinds of information
on close combat,
squad tactics,
everything we need to practice.
It's authentic.
Yes, but it doesn't compare to this.
This teaches you how to
make improvised explosives.
Like AEI?
That's what AEI means, silly:
improvised explosive device.
You want to make a bomb.
I want to teach that idiot a lesson.
Let's vote then.
OK.
All in favor of forming our militia?
Raise your hand.
And now what?
Let's go to the hardware store.
You mean the bomb store?
Exact.
So, 2.5cm steel tubes,
2.5cm washers and a tube cap.
And the nails?
I think they're in the other hallway.
- Take the 1.25cm ones.
- OK.
Very good, what else?
Gunpowder or some other propellant.
I have plenty at home.
Very well, then, it's
just a fuse, a detonator...
or a starter. We
have some options.
- The weapons aisle?
- Yes.
To arms!
It doesn't matter, Russ.
Hello.
- Did you find everything?
- Yes, thanks.
What are they setting up?
That?
What are they going
to do with these things?
What are we putting together?
It's a potato cannon.
I see.
It's 129 dollars.
Well.
Be careful.
Yes sir.
Thank you.
Well, thank you. Shut up already.
What's the matter?
- Why do you always do that?
- Don't get involved, friend.
- Go to hell.
- You go.
- Hey, let it go!
- Enough!
- First.
- Hey!
It doesn't matter. What nonsense.
- You had the cart and you lost.
- Shut up already.
Careful.
- John, did you put more candy here?
- Yes.
Shit. I forgot the blowtorch.
Damn.
I don't want to talk to that guy.
I think Sammy has one at home.
Does he know how to use it?
Yes, probably.
That is, his father is a welder.
- Ask Sammy to bring it.
- Well.
And we'll meet at my house on Wednesday
and we'll put everything together, okay?
- Yes.
- Sounds good to me.
Thank you.
Shit.
Hey, Daniel.
I got a call from the hardware store
about some kids making
suspicious purchases.
Do you want to tell me something?
No.
I'll go there and he'll
tell me what happened.
I don't have anything.
Whatever he says, it wasn't me.
Alright, listen...
I know you're not happy with
what happened to your father.
I understand. He would also be angry.
I want to apologize for my
assistant's attitudes that day.
It wasn't good.
But your dad broke the law.
He has to face the consequences.
And the scene he and his
friends made in the courtroom
I could have killed someone.
Look at me.
If you know where he is or hear something,
Please come see me
before someone gets hurt.
I'm not the villain here.
I am here to protect and serve.
Even you.
Even though you hate me now.
That's all?
What are you reading?
A book.
Can I go?
Yes, you can go.
I wanted to tell you that we are safe
and we haven't been bothered in a while.
I hope everything is fine.
The boys and I are preparing
something to help you.
To get back to normal.
Mom doesn't like not knowing
things, But I think you understand.
Let me know if you have any
advice. I hope to see you soon.
There are boot prints here.
There are footprints here.
Some go east,
others, towards the south.
They are deer tracks.
Someone was following him.
Do you see something?
No.
There are just a lot of hiding places.
If we follow those trails, We will
catch up with whoever came this way.
Let's get to work.
Well.
Essentially, you put the caps on like
this, make a hole for the wick, and
the explosion only
has one path: outward.
That's all?
That's all.
Let's cover this up and
we'll have an arsenal.
Damn Sammy, the terrorist.
Can you finish one today,
before the group arrives?
Yes, I think I can.
Brilliant.
- It's Tyler. I'll be back.
- Yes that's fine.
- Let me hold it.
- Yes.
So, did you bring the things?
Yes, four large pepperoni
pizzas and four juices.
One for each one.
- God exists.
- Has everyone arrived?
Except John.
Sammy is finishing
setting up the last bomb.
- When John arrives, we'll try it.
- Wow, this...
Shit.
- Are you OK? All good?
- Yes.
Talk to me. Are you OK?
Everything's fine. All good. Let me see.
- Damn!
- Sammy?
Sammy?
Sammy?
Sammy!
Are you OK. Everything's fine. It's just...
Tyler!
Shit.
We have to take him home.
Yes, well.
- Tactical drag.
- Yes.
- Stop! High!
- Alright.
- Shall we leave it here?
- I don't know, I don't know.
Alright.
Sammy, what do you want us to do?
- I want to go home.
- No.
Dude, we have to get you out of here.
It's going to hurt, but we
have to get you out of here.
We'll take him home.
Alright.
Three, two, one.
- Damn.
- Damn. Sammy.
Sammy, are you okay? Buddy.
Damn!
He is breathing.
Mother! Mom, help!
What's happening?
My God.
We need help.
Sammy is very hurt.
Call Emergencies.
Tyler, call 911.
Wait. Don't do that.
- We have to take him to the hospital.
- No no.
It will only make things worse.
If you go to the hospital,
They will start asking questions.
So what do we do?
Keep breathing.
We must stop the bleeding.
Daniel, bring the truck.
You must take him to Forrest Baker's house.
His wife was a nurse.
Don't go to the hospital.
Daniel, run!
Take it by the feet.
I'll let Forrest know they're coming.
OK that's fine.
What exploded?
Don't know.
We weren't in the garage when it exploded.
Now is no time for secrets, guys.
It was a pipe bomb.
What was it made of?
A steel tube... almost all of it.
Did it have something inside?
I'm not sure.
Are you sure you're not sure?
I swear we don't know.
How can we help?
Go away.
I will do everything I
can and let you know.
Did you get hurt?
No.
Did everyone get home safely?
Is Russ okay?
- I'm afraid.
- I know.
Sammy was very bad.
I didn't know what to do.
I know. You helped him. It
was the only thing you could do.
Everything's fine.
- I'm afraid.
- I know. Are you OK.
Everyone will be fine.
I wish dad was here.
Yes, me too.
Me too.
Hello, partner. I'm glad
to know they're okay.
I'm sorry to say that
I'm not doing very well.
The police are looking for
me. My hiding place won't last.
I have to leave the area.
Get away from them.
I don't know when I'll see you again,
so be strong for your mother.
Tell her I love her and I won't give up.
It's time for you to take charge.
Be the man I know you can be.
Remember: live free or die.
Mother!
I'm here.
Dad is leaving.
That?
This can't happen.
Come with me.
Help me with this.
There are emergency
supplies under the house.
Bring me the wooden box.
Alright.
Pineapples and lemons.
Your dad's favorite fruits.
What do you want me to do?
Solve the problem.
Hi guys. I have a surprise for you...
Wait a minute, friend.
What is happening? Is everything all right?
John, Russ and I chatted and...
We decided to exclude you from the group.
They can't kick me out of the
group. I'm the fucking commander!
Sammy almost died.
You weren't even there. Don't
pretend you went through that.
It doesn't matter.
We vote and you're out.
Well, I didn't light the fuse.
- We were all in this together.
- We were.
We followed the commander
and he almost killed us.
I don't hear from this ear anymore, Daniel.
I'm tired of doing
stupid things. I'm sorry.
Do you think it's stupid to
fight for what you believe in?
Defend yourself?
You're not going to like
the military very much.
The militia knows what they are doing.
Guys, I have new supplies.
A new plan. It will be different.
-No one is going to get hurt...
- Enough!
It's over.
We don't want to be part of this anymore.
You're out.
So is it over?
It's over.
Go to hell.
I'll do it alone.
Shit.
Damn.
How was the airsoft?
Don't start.
Are we not friends anymore?
I didn't say that.
But you act like it is, Tyler.
I just need space.
Sammy was too much and...
- I just need time.
- With permission.
Young man, the last
time Tyler was with you,
Sammy Burke almost died.
Not to mention your other family
problems. Where is your mother?
Elinor, can you come please?
The sheriff came to my house last night.
He said his patrol car exploded.
He thinks one of the boys
has something to do with it.
Did he go to your house?
No, no one came to our house.
And you don't know anything about it?
Why would I know?
We take risks for you.
The least I would expect
is a little support in return.
Let's go.
Good morning. They can go down.
Everything's fine.
Good morning.
Stop there.
Doesn't he leave us alone or in church?
Do you think Lee is hiding in the banks?
No, ma'am.
-Daniel Pierce...
- Take your hands off him.
Let it go, ma'am.
You're under arrest for
blowing up the county patrol car.
It must be a joke.
How dare you?
How dare you do this
in the house of God?
Come on.
You're going to pay, Webb.
Do you hear me? He's going to pay for them!
Back.
Daniel, don't say anything.
I went to talk to you
and then you do something like that.
What proof do you have
that I blew up your car?
I talk to people.
Fuck it.
No one I know would
have said anything to him.
Are you sure about that?
Do you really trust all your friends?
Sometimes, Daniel, people
tell me more with what they
don't say than with what they say.
I'll just say I didn't do it.
The truth will come to light...
one way or another.
Because when someone realizes
that the secret that keeps
It's doing more harm than good,
confess.
Nobody is going to help him.
Maybe.
But I'm the only one who can help you.
Stay here a while.
Think about how you want
to spend the next few decades.
Dad.
Hello, partner. Come here.
- Are you OK?
- I'm fine. And you?
- I was never better.
- Very good.
What do you have to say?
It was me. I blew up his patrol car.
Dad. Enough. What are you doing?
- Are you admitting to the crime?
- That's how it is.
I can tell you which bomb I used.
- It's a lie. He didn't blow up his...
-Shut your mouth!
You will face your previous
accusations too, you know?
Yes I know.
Let the boy go. No hard feelings.
It was me.
OK. Take a seat.
Daniel, you can come with me.
No.
Go home, Daniel.
- Come on, son.
- No.
- Let me go. It's a lie. I'm not leaving!
- Come out. Hey!
- Dad, what are you doing?
- Go home!
We finally have news
from the shooting range,
we talk about annual
fees and new memberships.
As for the shooting
range, it's about time...
- I need your help.
- Wait.
They have to help my dad.
What's done is done.
Will they let him rot in jail?
There's not much that can be done.
Release him.
Gather the troops.
Defend your freedom.
That's what they dedicate themselves to.
You've already made the
situation much worse, son.
You're not thinking clearly.
You don't have a plan.
- You need a foolproof plan.
- So, plan something.
You're not listening to me.
He already confessed!
Now it's up to the judge.
Aren't they going to do anything?
After everything he did for you!
Now he will only get out of this if
the bailiff doesn't show up at court.
Good luck with that!
Please. Someone. Just one person.
Isn't there a person willing to help?
Please.
Take a vote.
You are not part of this militia.
You have no say in our
rules or decision-making.
And any man who
wants to follow this boy to
his doom is going to
suffer the consequences.
You are a coward.
Don't you dare talk to me like that again.
Your anger is misdirected.
Go home and calm down.
And I don't want to see you
here again unless it's to apologize!
New membership.
What are you doing here, friend?
My parents don't want you here.
We must rally the militia again.
By no means.
We don't want to be part of that anymore.
This is not hanging out.
It's a damn operation.
My dad is in jail
and no one is going to
lift a finger to help him.
We have to do it ourselves.
Is the militia not going to do anything?
No.
What should I do?
Take your weapon.
I need you, friend.
If you were ever my friend,
Now is when I need you.
Heavens.
Please.
You know things aren't like that.
If your dad was in trouble, You
know you would do the same.
And you know that, if you asked me
for help, I would be there in an instant.
I'd take a shot for you. You know it.
This is serious.
Russ was right.
This is a damn war.
And I need them.
They want to make a difference, right?
Yes. But what's the plan?
Let John and Russ sneak out tonight
and meet me at Culver Crossing.
Let's get into action.
Are you serious?
Live free or die.
Damn.
Alright. I'm going to let Russ
know and we'll see what we do.
Very good. See you tonight.
You must be kidding.
What the hell are you doing here, Daniel?
Go home before you make everything worse.
That's enough.
Where is he going?
Get out of the car! Hands in sight!
Get out of the car! Now!
Damn.
Daniel! Put your hands
out the window. Now!
Don't do anything stupid, Daniel.
Put your hands on your
head. Get out of the car.
Daniel?
Daniel?
High.
- Drop the weapon.
- Drop the gun!
Calm down, guys.
Drop the weapon.
Tie it up.
Give me your hands.
Well done, guys.
That's it, you bastard.
And now?
Now go home.
Pretend this never happened.
Fuck it.
We just caught this cretin.
Yes. Now go home before
your parents find out.
I agree with Russ, Dan.
We are in this together.
- That's what it's about.
- No.
You follow orders and I
asked you to go home.
You're being a fucking idiot.
I won't leave until the end.
It's over. Now go home.
No.
Wow.
Get out of here!
- What the hell are you doing?
- Heavens.
That's enough.
Do you think I'm kidding?
Fuck it, friend. Leave.
You are a psychopath.
What are you doing?
You said we'd take him to the militia.
Get out of here.
I'm serious.
What are you going to do?
Go away.
On your knees. Kneel down.
Sit down.
And now what?
Let go of my dad.
Alright.
And then what?
Then he leaves town
and never returns.
You don't want to do this.
No, I don't want to.
But you forced me.
I wish you had talked
to me when I asked you.
I'm sure there are many things...
I don't want to talk to you.
It ruined my life!
Why didn't you leave my family alone?
You want to protect your family, right?
Exact.
And would you do anything for them?
Obviously.
Well, this whole county is my family.
The law is my family.
I do everything I can to protect her.
Lie.
That's a lie.
I don't get paid to help my family.
It's true.
You have a group of friends.
That's worth more than money.
Shut up already.
That won't make me
like you. It won't work.
You know this is a mistake.
That's why you sent your friends home.
So as not to involve them. It was clever.
Now you are the only one in trouble.
You don't have to talk to me.
Just listen, okay?
It is not too late to
reverse this situation.
You don't want to do that.
You have a whole life ahead of you.
Let me go.
I won't press charges. You
won't go to jail. You understand?
I know you're a good boy.
I know you only want the best
for your family. I understand.
Really.
Daniel, everyone knows it's not your fault.
Even your dad.
He agrees with me.
We all want the best for you.
That's why he took the blame for you.
Come on.
Take a deep breath and let's think...
ONE YEAR LATER Let's
work on your posture first.
- Let's go to the parallel base.
- Well.
Very well, take your weapon.
Rest her on your shoulder.
Aim it at the target. Put
that hand forward. Good.
Now bend at the waist.
Aggressive posture.
- How do you feel?
- Good.
Yeah?
Alright, guys. We're done for today.
We will continue tomorrow. Go home.
Practicing shooting?
Do you want to join me?
It seems like you have
everything under control.
Now Nathan is the sheriff. So
no one is chasing you anymore.
What happened...
I wish it had been different.
I only did what I thought you would do.
I did what I would have done.
So I did what you taught me.
Very good.
Daniel, there are things in
my life that I'm not proud of.
But I never wanted you to go through this.
I wanted you to be better.
Very good.
What do we have?
Three rifles.
We should join Sammy.
Understood.
Do you see them?
No, I don't see anything.
They're behind those trees.
They're waiting for us to come in.
We can't shoot what we don't see.
You have to go explore.
I am always the explorer.
You are the smallest target.
I don't want to be a target.
Hey, let's cover you.
Go.
Shit.
Contact!
They gave me. They gave me.
- Left side.
- Tactical drag.
- Where did they give you?
-
Left arm, but I can still shoot.
- Did you hit someone?
- We rescued you.
I thought they were going to cover me.
What is the situation? We heard shots.
They hit Sammy and there's
a group of them in the trees.
And our rearguard?
Russ already took care of that.
A shot in the head.
- It seemed painful.
- Good.
They are the only ones left.
Let's surround these guys.
John, go left.
Open suppressive fire.
Daniel, Russ, come with me. We
are going to press on the right.
- I'll go ahead. Russ, you follow me.
- Understood.
I'm going to cover them.
You better. Come on.
Get down.
- They hit me!
- Dejected white.
Separate.
Recharging.
Recharging.
Grenade.
They gave me.
End of the game.
Tyler, are you okay?
I'm fine.
This is how it is done.
- Hey, good game.
- Good game.
Good game.
End of the game.
THE MILITIA Very
well, first of all,
Let's work on posture.
Imagine the train tracks.
Feet in front, shoulder width apart.
We are wearing the
equipment. Bend your knees.
Align the plates.
This protects us. We
wear bulletproof vests.
Do not rotate to expose
an unprotected area.
Stay straight ahead.
If they are shot in the center of
the chest, will impact the plate.
Don't turn sideways.
They can't lose
line of sight, right?
It's heel and toe.
White on the left.
White on the right. Yeah? It's like that.
Show me. Squatting
position, aggressive posture.
Keep it up. Heel and toe.
Good. White on the left. Good.
Turn right. Go back to the center.
Put the rifle in the back.
Switch to secondary weapon.
Let's hold her to our chest, okay?
Extend the weapon towards the target.
Bang, bang, bang.
Dejected whites. Pick up.
We look for other targets. Clear area.
Put it back on.
There are no threats.
Stay alert.
Store it safely in the case.
Then they remove the white,
They save their partner
and look around that
corner to shoot, okay?
Right foot out. Good.
We can't see through
that wall, can we?
It is the "cutting the cake"
technique. We start from here.
And we're cutting the cake. Understood?
When turned, they dominate the entire room.
They crouch down and then cover that angle.
That is. Good.
Very good. Good!
Let's arm these guys.
Raise the gun. Keep it up.
Keep going. Be careful with the
curve. It comes from the left. Good.
Protect your partner.
Higher, you have to see through
the scope. Good. Continue.
Good. Lower your elbow. Be
careful not to stick your elbow out.
Slowly. Good elbow position.
We're going to attack
in one, two, three, four.
Now they turn here.
We continue forward.
Right side. Good.
Right in front.
Look around that corner.
Good job.
Hello, dad.
How was the operation?
It was great.
Tyler and I pulled off a flawless
pincer maneuver and won.
Double confrontation?
I like it.
Yes sir.
Any casualties?
Well, Sammy got hit in the
arm, but he was the explorer.
It was not a flawless victory.
Yes, but Sammy is terrible.
Well, a good commander should
always minimize losses, right?
General Patton said, "You don't
win wars by dying for your country..."
"They win by making
the other die for theirs."
So sometimes you listen.
I always listen to you.
You didn't listen to me this morning
when I asked you to do your homework.
I did my homework.
No, you didn't remove the
weeds from the northern paddock.
- You didn't ask me.
- Yes, I did.
- You didn't ask me...
- Don't argue.
Yes sir.
Very good.
Your mom is preparing dinner.
Remove weeds before eating.
- Yes sir.
- Very good.
Cookies for dessert?
You can't take them all, dear.
Where are they from?
From the Girls Scouts.
Did you tell them I don't want sales here?
- Even if they are cookies?
- Even if they are cookies.
I bought them in town, Lee. The
girls were in front of the market.
They shouldn't let them do
that. This is how beggars begin.
Isn't that shit illegal?
Take care of the language.
Well, in my opinion, it's begging.
Don't look at me like
that. I only like cookies.
I can throw them away if you want.
We leave them.
- Can we go shooting tomorrow?
- My God. Chew, boy.
Sorry.
Can we shoot tomorrow
for my birthday?
Don't you have school tomorrow?
No.
Yes.
Please let me miss tomorrow.
It's my birthday.
Sorry, boy.
How was the weekend?
Militia practice
is this weekend.
I have to meet with Nathan.
I have a lot of rifles to repair
and adjust before that, so...
You're going to shoot.
Not for fun.
Then take me with you to the militia.
I shoot better than many of them.
It's probably true.
I love that you want to join
and, if it were up to me, I would
leave you, but it doesn't depend on me.
And from what I know,
you're turning 17, not 18.
So you can't come.
Meanwhile,
Behave yourself. Wash
the dishes before bed.
Yes sir.
Hey, I'm going to sleep.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Good night.
- I love them.
- Me too.
Time is up.
Let's see.
What is this?
That?
No. 12 is a shrugging doll.
He didn't know the answer.
Obviously. I'll finish
correcting it later.
Let's move on to History.
Bring your notes, I hope you took them,
and tell me about the Battle of Shiloh.
The Battle of Shiloh was
fought on April 6 and 7, 1862.
At Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee.
The Confederates
attacked the Union to stop
their advance in
Mississippi, but they failed.
And who was in charge?
Albert Sidney Johnston
and P.T. Beauregard for the
Confederacy, and Ulysses S.
Grant and Buell for the Union.
What were the armies?
The Army of Mississippi with
the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Corps
and Reserve, the Army of
Tennessee from the 1st to the
6th Division, and four divisions
of the Army of the Ohio.
The Union had 63,000 soldiers
and the Confederates had
40,000, yet the Confederates almost won.
Why didn't they win?
Because they did not take the opportunity
to attack when the Union was withdrawing.
They waited until the next morning, but by
then, Buell had already
called for reinforcements.
And what is the lesson?
Defeat your enemy when you can.
Very good.
If you were dedicated
to agriculture as
well as history, you would not draw dolls.
Yes, but farming is boring.
Farming is what fuels
your body and one
day you will take
over the family farm...
Hello, did you forget something?
No.
What am I interrupting?
Battle of Shiloh. General
Johnston is retiring.
How exciting.
But you'll have to shut
up if we're going to shoot.
Really?
It's your birthday.
Of course!
Come back for dinner, okay?
I'll make that chicken you like.
Yes, ma'am.
What do you want to shoot today?
I was thinking about what you said
about wanting to join the military.
- Can I come in earlier?
- No.
But if you're joining next year,
I think it's time you
got your own weapon.
Train a little,
Take responsibility first.
Can I choose any?
Any gun you like is yours.
The 1911.
How fast.
- You're sure?
- Positive.
That seems fine to me. Ask for it.
I want this one.
Are you sure you know how to manipulate it?
Yes.
Recharge.
Shoot.
Good shot. Mozambique.
Last shots.
This is how it is done.
It was ok. Very good.
Good shots. Come on, finish.
Very good. Here you go.
Thank you. It's a good day, friend.
- Thanks for everything.
- Yes. See you on Saturday?
- Yes, see you in practice.
- Well.
You know you'll have to clean
it when you get home, right?
I know.
It's not going anywhere, except
at the shooting range or with me.
I know.
If your friends want to
play, Tell them it's not a toy.
Dad, I know.
You've been telling me
this since I learned to walk.
- I promise I will be responsible.
- EITHER...?
Or I'll deal with you.
See? I hear you.
Park the car.
That's right, hands on the wheel.
License and documents, please.
I stopped him because the
license plates are expired.
- Do you want to tell me where you come from?
- No, we don't want to.
What is your name, sir?
I don't need to reveal that information.
In that case, I must
also see your license.
State law establishes
that only the driver
of the vehicle must
present his documentation.
Do you know this man?
Does he force you to go somewhere?
If you have to talk to
someone, talk to me
As far as I know, Stanley Dietrich
was in charge in this county.
Why don't you get out of the
truck? Come talk to me in the back.
No, thanks.
I'm sure you know
that state law states
that, when I see weapons
in the back of a vehicle,
I have reason to search you
on suspicion of smuggling.
Stay here.
SHERIFF
CARSON COUNTY
Hold this.
Put your hands where you can see them.
Do you want to show me what's
under that tarp besides rifles?
See for yourself.
That's how it's going to be, huh?
Oh.
Do you have the documentation
for these weapons?
Aren't you going to talk to me?
can speak
or I will arrest them while I check
the registration of these weapons.
Boy, get off the truck.
Stay there.
If you wife my son,
we will have a big problem.
Well, check them all.
The boy stays here.
Well.
Come here, show me your hands.
Come with me.
- Dad!
- Go home, Daniel.
We have to talk.
Half of these rifles are automatic.
I guess you know.
The problem is that he
doesn't have a class III license,
but considering where we live,
He is not the only one who breaks that law.
Furthermore, you are an important
member of the local militia.
Am I right?
Maybe half of those
weapons aren't his. Maybe yes.
My biggest problem...
is this.
What are you doing with this, Mr. Pierce?
This doesn't look good.
He has a lot of unregistered
weapons and a notebook
with detailed notes on
the Sheriff's Department.
radio frequencies,
code lists,
usual routes, sometimes up to the minute.
I would be impressed,
If it weren't a little worrying.
Is it illegal to note where a
particular vehicle is going?
I don't think he's taking notes to
keep an eye on the neighborhood.
He's watching us
and, from experience, "watch"
is a fancy way of saying "hunt."
You better give me a good reason
for what he's doing, because this
will cause you a lot of problems.
You know, the military and the police...
We are on the same team.
Really?
Can you explain it?
No.
Very well, then.
Please wait here.
He must appear at the county
courthouse in two weeks for
his preliminary and
subsequent hearings.
That gives you time to talk to
me about what happened today.
Very well, you can go.
Mr. Pierce.
Ten thousand dollars in fines await you
and maybe time in prison.
I'm talking two years
just for the guns.
Please,
reconsider your stance on whether
or not we are on the same side.
Come on.
- What are we going to do, Lee?
- I'm thinking.
Expired registrations. Damn!
The police are only good for that.
Those sons of bitches swear
allegiance to the Constitution:
defend it and enforce it.
They don't care about people's rights.
"Same team", no way.
Are they really going to condemn you?
You can't go to jail.
How can I help?
- I have to talk to Nathan.
- Now?
I don't trust talking on the phone.
Sorry, I don't have ice.
Honey, can you wait with Kathleen?
Alright.
You picked the worst time
to get in trouble with the law.
I knew about the weapons,
but I thought it was just a trip.
It's Daniel's birthday.
Everything will be fine.
That mentality is going to ruin you.
Dude, you're in trouble.
Since when does the sheriff
stop you for expired license plates?
And who is this idiot Webb?
Stanley retired and they
just elected this Webb.
He's the new sheriff, He
works like crazy and acts good.
The days of Dietrich
turning a blind eye are over.
I don't know where to start.
Start by getting my weapons back, Lee.
I'm not going to let
the government take my
assets from you because
of that registry shit.
They are now in the warehouse.
We'll see.
I'm more worried about the
court. He threatened me with jail.
Foolishness. You won't go to jail.
Webb may be angry, but the
judge was not born yesterday.
He'll give you a fine and you'll move on.
And if not?
He found my black notebook.
- No.
- Yes, he found it.
Oh my gosh, Lee!
I didn't think they would search the truck.
Good job getting attention.
For expired registrations!
I'm not going around
robbing the town store.
It could have been you, friend.
No, because that didn't happen, right?
Alright.
You're right. I admit it.
But now I'm not the only
one who has a problem.
If they show that notebook,
I go to trial, and then what?
Nathan...
If they make me swear on that
Bible, I will be in the hands of God.
When they ask whose weapons
they are, I will say your name.
And the names Forrest and Jackson.
Sheriff Webb will have what
it takes to come after you
again and take what you have.
And everything will go to shit.
I can't allow it, much less go to prison.
We'll talk to the boys.
Your honor, The accused
is here and I am ready.
You can proceed.
Under the protection of the Constitution
of the United States of America,
we are here today
exercising our rights.
Please stay seated.
We will not harm them.
What the hell is going on here?
Hey, hey!
Lee Pierce has been wrongfully accused
by this government before you.
They want to make an example of
him to intimidate us and subdue us.
Today we came to say that
we will not let them scare us,
intimidate us or force
us to give up our rights.
So, judge, you are not
going to sentence Lee Pierce
today or any other day.
If you are so sure of
Mr. Pierce's innocence,
let him have a fair trial.
Your system is not fair and until it is,
none of us will submit to him.
You don't decide which law is best for you.
A law that cannot be
enforced is not a law.
Try to take our weapons away
and see if you live to tell the tale.
That is.
Any law enforcement officer
who causes trouble for these good
citizens I protect will be shot.
And, with God as my witness,
this statement is my law.
Company, stand down.
Have a good day.
And you too.
Watch where you're going.
Well, wait here.
You can go up.
- I have it.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- You are welcome.
Do you think the sheriff will do something?
If you have common sense,
you won't do anything.
Aren't you breaking the law?
Well, the laws are complicated.
There are laws that make sense
in some places and not in others.
Some laws are not good laws.
They are not fair.
Does it make sense?
I think so.
Do you know that there
are good and bad people?
Clear.
Good...
Sometimes bad people become
in judges, politicians,
sometimes even in police officers.
Do you think the sheriff is bad?
I think he is acting wrong
because someone corrupt ordered it
and he believes that justifies everything.
What if the sheriff comes for you?
Do you remember when
you were bullied in church?
Yeah.
What did I tell you to do?
Let him face them.
And you did it.
Hell, you pushed Russ down the
stairs when he made fun of you.
And what happened?
- I got into trouble.
- Yes, you got into trouble,
but the boys stopped
bothering you, right?
Yes.
That's it.
Do you regret what you did?
That's right, because it
was worth fighting for.
There are things in this life
why it is worth going to trouble
to defend what you believe in.
And believe me,
There are more bad people
than good people in this world.
If you have the opportunity,
They will take everything from you.
What is the rule of survival?
- Hunt or be hunted.
- That's how it is.
Soon you will learn
that you should think
like that about people,
the press and the government.
Never forget it.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
forgive our offenses,
Just as we also forgive
those who offend us,
do not lead us into temptation
and deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
Thank you all for coming
today and have a blessed Sunday.
I'm glad to see you. How are you doing?
Today's sermon was nice.
I'll stay with the boys for a
while if that's okay with you.
Alright. He only
comes home for dinner.
- Yes sir.
- You can go.
I'm sorry. Are
the children okay?
Oh my god, friend!
Your dad is going to war
against the Sheriff's Department.
He's just standing up
for what he believes in.
- That's how wars are.
- Calm down, friends.
- Wait for the session to start.
- Let it begin then.
Very good.
I declare the 43rd meeting
of the Wild Gang has begun.
Hooray, hooray!
I wish I had been at the
courthouse when the militia arrived.
I wish I had been in the
military. Now that's great.
Dude, it was crazy.
They all broke in armed to the
teeth and surrounded the place.
Nathan gave a great speech
about justice and the false
accusation against my dad.
He said if it can't be
enforced, It is not a law.
Can't the police
enforce the laws?
No, I think he meant that
the police are abusing him.
What they do to us exceeds their authority.
They shouldn't mess with the military.
Wait until they mess with us.
TRUE? We are faster
than many of them.
Because we are half their size.
My dad is so fat he should
be a sniper, he barely moves.
If we keep training,
imagine what we can
achieve when it's our turn.
Live free or die.
Yes.
Good. Let's play airsoft.
Sorry, friend. I can't go.
I have to work in the field.
Yes, I can't either.
My car broke down this morning.
so I'm going to make it up to John.
Are you coming too, Dan?
No.
I think I'll go home and
clean my new one. 45 then.
Lie.
It's not a lie. They gave
it to me for my birthday.
Try it.
You'll see her on the weekend.
It's militia shooting day.
Yes.
- I'm going to use it in the competition.
- Shit.
Wait. Do you
really have one. 45?
Yes.
Wow. I wish my dad
loved me so much.
Maybe he'll love you if you
win the shooting competition.
We all know it won't happen.
You're not going to win either, idiot.
Don't be so sure.
Keep dreaming, friend.
We will take a group photo,
so come uniformed and equipped.
Yes sir.
Okay, I'm leaving.
I'm going to see if John's
sister can polish my rifle.
"Russ...Russy...Yes."
I'm going to kill you.
Dad, dad.
Can you help me with something?
It depends on what it is.
I need a uniform for shooting day.
I wanted to go to the army store.
What is the uniform for?
The boys and I thought it
was good to wear a uniform.
To look like a squad.
Come with me.
I hope the mice haven't damaged it.
Great, my old skateboard.
I remember her.
How about this one?
Do my old uniforms work for you?
I wanted camouflage,
but these are great.
Very good.
- Are these things from your time in the army?
- Yes.
Why don't you ever talk about it?
Well, there's not much to tell.
I needed money, I served four
years and moved on with my life.
I knew they were here.
Wow, great.
Can I use them?
- Do you want to use my plates?
- Yes.
It misses the point a
little, but that's okay.
They are great because they are yours.
This is all great, dad.
Well enjoy them.
- Yes sir.
- Very good.
My God.
Can I show the
manuals to the kids?
Whatever you want,
just don't kill each other
with a chokehold or anything.
No, sir.
Are you ready for the competition?
Yes sir.
- I'm going to humiliate Tyler.
- That's my son.
I have to go back to work.
Sort everything, put it away
and close it when you're done.
- Yes sir.
- Very good, son.
Now we move on to the
competition for under 18s.
All of you,
young militia aspirants,
form a line at firing
range number 2.
Good luck, guys. They will need it.
- Well.
- Yes, good luck.
You're going down, Ty.
Actually, I'm going to take
that trophy, but thanks, Russ.
Go to hell, Daniel.
What if I win?
Sammy, if you win, I'll kill myself.
Maybe I have to kill you first.
Don't know. How about
I kill them all to win?
You'll run out of bullets
before you hit anyone.
You're going to die first.
- Five bullets.
- Okay, Russ. You die first.
Very good. Work that
out at the shooting range.
For the love of God.
Hey, you or me.
Pay attention.
Each will have ten
shots at the target at
nine meters, ten shots at the target at 23
meters, four shots at the target tree and
one shot at the ace of
diamonds at 46 meters.
Whoever scores the most
points in the shortest time wins.
Load up and prepare, gentlemen.
Shooters ready.
Shooters waiting.
Very good. We add the
points and the winner is...
Daniel Pierce.
Hey, good aim.
- Thank you, dad.
- Well done.
- Good aim, Tyler.
- Thank you.
Oh my God...
Sammy beat John.
I can't believe it.
- John, you're horrible.
- Damn.
Damn, damn.
Come on, friend.
- Go to hell.
- Well done, Sammy.
- Well done, friend.
- I have practiced.
It just can't be. What a disaster.
There's always next year, friend.
Damn! Damn! What the fuck!
My God. Take John's gun
before he kills someone.
I think that makes
Daniel the commander.
Yes, but everyone knows
who the real boss is.
Yes.
I.
- Hello, mom.
- Hello! Just in time. How did it go?
It was ok. Dad came second.
Brilliant. Were you
upset about not winning?
Yes a bit.
And how did it go for you?
- It went well for me.
- Only good?
Yes, first place is enough for me.
I knew it, I knew it!
Let's see.
Place it over the
fireplace and set the table.
Yes of course.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
-Hey, what's for dinner?
- Lasagna.
Great.
Your dad is coming home for dinner, right?
Yes.
He stayed to help Nathan put
everything away, but he's coming back.
- I was with Tyler...
- Don't move. Hands up.
Where's Lee Pierce?
- Don't know.
- What's going on there?
High. Back, back, back.
Where is he?
It's not here.
Lie!
Where is he?
Where is?
We have an arrest warrant.
You have no right to
enter our house like that.
Where's Lee?
Okay, hands on the refrigerator.
Do not move.
Where is he?
My God! Enough!
Back. Now.
Are you OK?
Go to hell.
- Where is your father?
- Get out of my house!
Hey!
- Are you OK?
- Yes.
Get out of here.
Go away.
Her husband is a fugitive.
Get out!
Let's go.
I'm going to call Nathan.
Stay here and let me
know if they come back.
Hi Kat, it's Ellie. Is Lee there?
Yes please.
He's still with Nathan.
Do you see something?
No, not yet.
Hello. What do you need?
Lee, the sheriff just raided the
house with guns and an arrest warrant.
Wow, wow. Was the
sheriff inside the house?
Yes. They broke down the
front door and the back door.
It was horrible.
Are you OK? Is Daniel there?
Yes, we are fine.
Very good, Did they take
something or leave something?
I don't think so.
I don't know. He had his hands against
the refrigerator when they searched.
Daniel, did you see them take anything?
- No.
- I don't think they took anything.
See if they didn't install a
microphone in the bedroom.
Are they still there?
No, they left.
Did you say something to him?
No, but, Lee,
I don't know where they went. You
must be careful when you come back.
OK. Hang in there, darling.
Nathan...
Nathan!
The sheriff raided my house with a warrant.
Do you have where to hide me?
- Is it code black?
- Code black.
I'll be ready in 20 minutes.
Make it ten.
Honey, I'm not coming
home. You understand?
Nathan is going to take me to safety.
Lee, you have to come home.
What if they are waiting for me
on the road or somewhere else?
I can't risk it.
So you go out there and we
just wait for you to come back?
We had already talked about it.
It doesn't mean I like it.
I don't like it either
but it's better than jail.
What do you want me to do?
Very good.
Take care of the farm in my absence.
Remember to plant the southern paddock.
Give Nathan any
information about the sheriff.
and help Daniel protect the place.
Put Daniel on the phone.
Be careful, Lee.
Yes, ma'am.
I love you.
I love you too.
Daniel, talk to your father.
Dad, what's happening?
Are you OK?
No, that cretin put
a gun to my chest.
Did Webb do that?
No, the assistant.
If they try again, you
can defend yourself.
Yes sir.
Hey, I have to hide for a while.
In my absence, You are
the man of the house, yes?
Yes sir.
Don't let anyone
in you don't trust.
Protect your mother at all costs.
Do what is necessary.
Yes sir.
I have to cut.
I'm proud of today.
If you need to contact me,
Leave a note on the hunting tree.
This remains between us.
No need to worry your
mom. Take care of yourself.
You too.
Mother.
Hello.
Hello.
Had something like this happened before?
Yes. About ten years ago,
something similar happened.
How did it end?
There was a big confrontation
between the police and some men.
In the end, those men fled
at dawn and left the state.
Did the police win?
Yes and no.
But they had to leave town.
But they didn't give the
police what they wanted either.
It seems like a defeat to me.
Come here.
I wish I could find a way
to negotiate with the sheriff.
I think something more
is going to be needed.
Yes.
I think Nathan and the guys
are trying to think of something.
Yes, but they won't tell me anything.
Their stupid age rule excludes
me and I can't do anything.
I know you don't like it, but you're a boy.
You should be doing things your age.
They don't want you to get in trouble.
But I want to get in trouble.
I mean, we're already in trouble.
I know, but everything will be okay.
And if not?
Even if things go wrong,
everything will be fine.
That doesn't make sense.
Yes, it does.
Take a deep breath. Let's keep fighting.
If I did something with the
military, would you get angry?
No, if you were allowed.
Do you have something in mind?
No, just something to help dad.
Keeping everything safe
here already helps dad.
But it is not enough.
Yes it is.
We just have to hold on, okay?
I'll try.
I love you.
I love you too.
Then the Lord said to Cain,
Why are you angry?
Why are you so crestfallen?
If you do the right thing,
you will be accepted.
But if you don't do the
right thing, sin is at the door.
Sin wants to conquer you,
But you must master it."
And Cain said to his brother Abel,
"Let us go out into the field."
While they were in the field, Cain
attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Then, the Lord said to Cain...
Very good, friends.
We lost. Dan won.
Dan will be in charge for the next year.
It's all yours...
for now.
Thanks, Ty.
I now call the 44th
meeting of the Wild Gang.
Hooray, hooray!
Very good.
I know we joke a lot, but I have to
talk to you about something serious.
The sheriff raided
my house the other
day looking for my dad and now he's gone.
Were you there when they raided?
My mom and I were there.
They restrained me
and pointed a gun at me.
I can't believe it.
Did the sheriff do that?
It was one of his thugs, yes.
Did they touch your mother?
I couldn't see.
That can't be legal.
Did they have a court order or something?
He said yes.
They have to show it to you.
Well, he didn't show it.
I bet he didn't have it.
Police officers always do illegal things.
Yes.
My grandfather was a police officer and
he said they planted
evidence all the time.
It's hard to see something like
that when they point it at your chest.
What is your dad going to do?
He's hiding.
He asked me to protect my mother and
that made me think that things
have to change around here.
As?
I think we should do
what the military is doing.
- Do you agree?
- Of course.
We all know how to shoot.
Clear. Some better than others.
Shut up, Sammy.
If they don't let us join the
militia, Let's form one of our own.
In essence, we are already a militia.
We are a group united
to protect people.
Count on me.
Yes, I will.
Me too.
And then what? Shall
we return to airsoft?
Saying we are a militia
does not make us one.
That's why we train as one.
My dad gave me campaign manuals with all
kinds of information
on close combat,
squad tactics,
everything we need to practice.
It's authentic.
Yes, but it doesn't compare to this.
This teaches you how to
make improvised explosives.
Like AEI?
That's what AEI means, silly:
improvised explosive device.
You want to make a bomb.
I want to teach that idiot a lesson.
Let's vote then.
OK.
All in favor of forming our militia?
Raise your hand.
And now what?
Let's go to the hardware store.
You mean the bomb store?
Exact.
So, 2.5cm steel tubes,
2.5cm washers and a tube cap.
And the nails?
I think they're in the other hallway.
- Take the 1.25cm ones.
- OK.
Very good, what else?
Gunpowder or some other propellant.
I have plenty at home.
Very well, then, it's
just a fuse, a detonator...
or a starter. We
have some options.
- The weapons aisle?
- Yes.
To arms!
It doesn't matter, Russ.
Hello.
- Did you find everything?
- Yes, thanks.
What are they setting up?
That?
What are they going
to do with these things?
What are we putting together?
It's a potato cannon.
I see.
It's 129 dollars.
Well.
Be careful.
Yes sir.
Thank you.
Well, thank you. Shut up already.
What's the matter?
- Why do you always do that?
- Don't get involved, friend.
- Go to hell.
- You go.
- Hey, let it go!
- Enough!
- First.
- Hey!
It doesn't matter. What nonsense.
- You had the cart and you lost.
- Shut up already.
Careful.
- John, did you put more candy here?
- Yes.
Shit. I forgot the blowtorch.
Damn.
I don't want to talk to that guy.
I think Sammy has one at home.
Does he know how to use it?
Yes, probably.
That is, his father is a welder.
- Ask Sammy to bring it.
- Well.
And we'll meet at my house on Wednesday
and we'll put everything together, okay?
- Yes.
- Sounds good to me.
Thank you.
Shit.
Hey, Daniel.
I got a call from the hardware store
about some kids making
suspicious purchases.
Do you want to tell me something?
No.
I'll go there and he'll
tell me what happened.
I don't have anything.
Whatever he says, it wasn't me.
Alright, listen...
I know you're not happy with
what happened to your father.
I understand. He would also be angry.
I want to apologize for my
assistant's attitudes that day.
It wasn't good.
But your dad broke the law.
He has to face the consequences.
And the scene he and his
friends made in the courtroom
I could have killed someone.
Look at me.
If you know where he is or hear something,
Please come see me
before someone gets hurt.
I'm not the villain here.
I am here to protect and serve.
Even you.
Even though you hate me now.
That's all?
What are you reading?
A book.
Can I go?
Yes, you can go.
I wanted to tell you that we are safe
and we haven't been bothered in a while.
I hope everything is fine.
The boys and I are preparing
something to help you.
To get back to normal.
Mom doesn't like not knowing
things, But I think you understand.
Let me know if you have any
advice. I hope to see you soon.
There are boot prints here.
There are footprints here.
Some go east,
others, towards the south.
They are deer tracks.
Someone was following him.
Do you see something?
No.
There are just a lot of hiding places.
If we follow those trails, We will
catch up with whoever came this way.
Let's get to work.
Well.
Essentially, you put the caps on like
this, make a hole for the wick, and
the explosion only
has one path: outward.
That's all?
That's all.
Let's cover this up and
we'll have an arsenal.
Damn Sammy, the terrorist.
Can you finish one today,
before the group arrives?
Yes, I think I can.
Brilliant.
- It's Tyler. I'll be back.
- Yes that's fine.
- Let me hold it.
- Yes.
So, did you bring the things?
Yes, four large pepperoni
pizzas and four juices.
One for each one.
- God exists.
- Has everyone arrived?
Except John.
Sammy is finishing
setting up the last bomb.
- When John arrives, we'll try it.
- Wow, this...
Shit.
- Are you OK? All good?
- Yes.
Talk to me. Are you OK?
Everything's fine. All good. Let me see.
- Damn!
- Sammy?
Sammy?
Sammy?
Sammy!
Are you OK. Everything's fine. It's just...
Tyler!
Shit.
We have to take him home.
Yes, well.
- Tactical drag.
- Yes.
- Stop! High!
- Alright.
- Shall we leave it here?
- I don't know, I don't know.
Alright.
Sammy, what do you want us to do?
- I want to go home.
- No.
Dude, we have to get you out of here.
It's going to hurt, but we
have to get you out of here.
We'll take him home.
Alright.
Three, two, one.
- Damn.
- Damn. Sammy.
Sammy, are you okay? Buddy.
Damn!
He is breathing.
Mother! Mom, help!
What's happening?
My God.
We need help.
Sammy is very hurt.
Call Emergencies.
Tyler, call 911.
Wait. Don't do that.
- We have to take him to the hospital.
- No no.
It will only make things worse.
If you go to the hospital,
They will start asking questions.
So what do we do?
Keep breathing.
We must stop the bleeding.
Daniel, bring the truck.
You must take him to Forrest Baker's house.
His wife was a nurse.
Don't go to the hospital.
Daniel, run!
Take it by the feet.
I'll let Forrest know they're coming.
OK that's fine.
What exploded?
Don't know.
We weren't in the garage when it exploded.
Now is no time for secrets, guys.
It was a pipe bomb.
What was it made of?
A steel tube... almost all of it.
Did it have something inside?
I'm not sure.
Are you sure you're not sure?
I swear we don't know.
How can we help?
Go away.
I will do everything I
can and let you know.
Did you get hurt?
No.
Did everyone get home safely?
Is Russ okay?
- I'm afraid.
- I know.
Sammy was very bad.
I didn't know what to do.
I know. You helped him. It
was the only thing you could do.
Everything's fine.
- I'm afraid.
- I know. Are you OK.
Everyone will be fine.
I wish dad was here.
Yes, me too.
Me too.
Hello, partner. I'm glad
to know they're okay.
I'm sorry to say that
I'm not doing very well.
The police are looking for
me. My hiding place won't last.
I have to leave the area.
Get away from them.
I don't know when I'll see you again,
so be strong for your mother.
Tell her I love her and I won't give up.
It's time for you to take charge.
Be the man I know you can be.
Remember: live free or die.
Mother!
I'm here.
Dad is leaving.
That?
This can't happen.
Come with me.
Help me with this.
There are emergency
supplies under the house.
Bring me the wooden box.
Alright.
Pineapples and lemons.
Your dad's favorite fruits.
What do you want me to do?
Solve the problem.
Hi guys. I have a surprise for you...
Wait a minute, friend.
What is happening? Is everything all right?
John, Russ and I chatted and...
We decided to exclude you from the group.
They can't kick me out of the
group. I'm the fucking commander!
Sammy almost died.
You weren't even there. Don't
pretend you went through that.
It doesn't matter.
We vote and you're out.
Well, I didn't light the fuse.
- We were all in this together.
- We were.
We followed the commander
and he almost killed us.
I don't hear from this ear anymore, Daniel.
I'm tired of doing
stupid things. I'm sorry.
Do you think it's stupid to
fight for what you believe in?
Defend yourself?
You're not going to like
the military very much.
The militia knows what they are doing.
Guys, I have new supplies.
A new plan. It will be different.
-No one is going to get hurt...
- Enough!
It's over.
We don't want to be part of this anymore.
You're out.
So is it over?
It's over.
Go to hell.
I'll do it alone.
Shit.
Damn.
How was the airsoft?
Don't start.
Are we not friends anymore?
I didn't say that.
But you act like it is, Tyler.
I just need space.
Sammy was too much and...
- I just need time.
- With permission.
Young man, the last
time Tyler was with you,
Sammy Burke almost died.
Not to mention your other family
problems. Where is your mother?
Elinor, can you come please?
The sheriff came to my house last night.
He said his patrol car exploded.
He thinks one of the boys
has something to do with it.
Did he go to your house?
No, no one came to our house.
And you don't know anything about it?
Why would I know?
We take risks for you.
The least I would expect
is a little support in return.
Let's go.
Good morning. They can go down.
Everything's fine.
Good morning.
Stop there.
Doesn't he leave us alone or in church?
Do you think Lee is hiding in the banks?
No, ma'am.
-Daniel Pierce...
- Take your hands off him.
Let it go, ma'am.
You're under arrest for
blowing up the county patrol car.
It must be a joke.
How dare you?
How dare you do this
in the house of God?
Come on.
You're going to pay, Webb.
Do you hear me? He's going to pay for them!
Back.
Daniel, don't say anything.
I went to talk to you
and then you do something like that.
What proof do you have
that I blew up your car?
I talk to people.
Fuck it.
No one I know would
have said anything to him.
Are you sure about that?
Do you really trust all your friends?
Sometimes, Daniel, people
tell me more with what they
don't say than with what they say.
I'll just say I didn't do it.
The truth will come to light...
one way or another.
Because when someone realizes
that the secret that keeps
It's doing more harm than good,
confess.
Nobody is going to help him.
Maybe.
But I'm the only one who can help you.
Stay here a while.
Think about how you want
to spend the next few decades.
Dad.
Hello, partner. Come here.
- Are you OK?
- I'm fine. And you?
- I was never better.
- Very good.
What do you have to say?
It was me. I blew up his patrol car.
Dad. Enough. What are you doing?
- Are you admitting to the crime?
- That's how it is.
I can tell you which bomb I used.
- It's a lie. He didn't blow up his...
-Shut your mouth!
You will face your previous
accusations too, you know?
Yes I know.
Let the boy go. No hard feelings.
It was me.
OK. Take a seat.
Daniel, you can come with me.
No.
Go home, Daniel.
- Come on, son.
- No.
- Let me go. It's a lie. I'm not leaving!
- Come out. Hey!
- Dad, what are you doing?
- Go home!
We finally have news
from the shooting range,
we talk about annual
fees and new memberships.
As for the shooting
range, it's about time...
- I need your help.
- Wait.
They have to help my dad.
What's done is done.
Will they let him rot in jail?
There's not much that can be done.
Release him.
Gather the troops.
Defend your freedom.
That's what they dedicate themselves to.
You've already made the
situation much worse, son.
You're not thinking clearly.
You don't have a plan.
- You need a foolproof plan.
- So, plan something.
You're not listening to me.
He already confessed!
Now it's up to the judge.
Aren't they going to do anything?
After everything he did for you!
Now he will only get out of this if
the bailiff doesn't show up at court.
Good luck with that!
Please. Someone. Just one person.
Isn't there a person willing to help?
Please.
Take a vote.
You are not part of this militia.
You have no say in our
rules or decision-making.
And any man who
wants to follow this boy to
his doom is going to
suffer the consequences.
You are a coward.
Don't you dare talk to me like that again.
Your anger is misdirected.
Go home and calm down.
And I don't want to see you
here again unless it's to apologize!
New membership.
What are you doing here, friend?
My parents don't want you here.
We must rally the militia again.
By no means.
We don't want to be part of that anymore.
This is not hanging out.
It's a damn operation.
My dad is in jail
and no one is going to
lift a finger to help him.
We have to do it ourselves.
Is the militia not going to do anything?
No.
What should I do?
Take your weapon.
I need you, friend.
If you were ever my friend,
Now is when I need you.
Heavens.
Please.
You know things aren't like that.
If your dad was in trouble, You
know you would do the same.
And you know that, if you asked me
for help, I would be there in an instant.
I'd take a shot for you. You know it.
This is serious.
Russ was right.
This is a damn war.
And I need them.
They want to make a difference, right?
Yes. But what's the plan?
Let John and Russ sneak out tonight
and meet me at Culver Crossing.
Let's get into action.
Are you serious?
Live free or die.
Damn.
Alright. I'm going to let Russ
know and we'll see what we do.
Very good. See you tonight.
You must be kidding.
What the hell are you doing here, Daniel?
Go home before you make everything worse.
That's enough.
Where is he going?
Get out of the car! Hands in sight!
Get out of the car! Now!
Damn.
Daniel! Put your hands
out the window. Now!
Don't do anything stupid, Daniel.
Put your hands on your
head. Get out of the car.
Daniel?
Daniel?
High.
- Drop the weapon.
- Drop the gun!
Calm down, guys.
Drop the weapon.
Tie it up.
Give me your hands.
Well done, guys.
That's it, you bastard.
And now?
Now go home.
Pretend this never happened.
Fuck it.
We just caught this cretin.
Yes. Now go home before
your parents find out.
I agree with Russ, Dan.
We are in this together.
- That's what it's about.
- No.
You follow orders and I
asked you to go home.
You're being a fucking idiot.
I won't leave until the end.
It's over. Now go home.
No.
Wow.
Get out of here!
- What the hell are you doing?
- Heavens.
That's enough.
Do you think I'm kidding?
Fuck it, friend. Leave.
You are a psychopath.
What are you doing?
You said we'd take him to the militia.
Get out of here.
I'm serious.
What are you going to do?
Go away.
On your knees. Kneel down.
Sit down.
And now what?
Let go of my dad.
Alright.
And then what?
Then he leaves town
and never returns.
You don't want to do this.
No, I don't want to.
But you forced me.
I wish you had talked
to me when I asked you.
I'm sure there are many things...
I don't want to talk to you.
It ruined my life!
Why didn't you leave my family alone?
You want to protect your family, right?
Exact.
And would you do anything for them?
Obviously.
Well, this whole county is my family.
The law is my family.
I do everything I can to protect her.
Lie.
That's a lie.
I don't get paid to help my family.
It's true.
You have a group of friends.
That's worth more than money.
Shut up already.
That won't make me
like you. It won't work.
You know this is a mistake.
That's why you sent your friends home.
So as not to involve them. It was clever.
Now you are the only one in trouble.
You don't have to talk to me.
Just listen, okay?
It is not too late to
reverse this situation.
You don't want to do that.
You have a whole life ahead of you.
Let me go.
I won't press charges. You
won't go to jail. You understand?
I know you're a good boy.
I know you only want the best
for your family. I understand.
Really.
Daniel, everyone knows it's not your fault.
Even your dad.
He agrees with me.
We all want the best for you.
That's why he took the blame for you.
Come on.
Take a deep breath and let's think...
ONE YEAR LATER Let's
work on your posture first.
- Let's go to the parallel base.
- Well.
Very well, take your weapon.
Rest her on your shoulder.
Aim it at the target. Put
that hand forward. Good.
Now bend at the waist.
Aggressive posture.
- How do you feel?
- Good.
Yeah?
Alright, guys. We're done for today.
We will continue tomorrow. Go home.
Practicing shooting?
Do you want to join me?
It seems like you have
everything under control.
Now Nathan is the sheriff. So
no one is chasing you anymore.
What happened...
I wish it had been different.
I only did what I thought you would do.
I did what I would have done.
So I did what you taught me.
Very good.
Daniel, there are things in
my life that I'm not proud of.
But I never wanted you to go through this.
I wanted you to be better.
Very good.
