The East (2013)
(DEEP BREATHING)
IZZY: It's easy when it's not your home... easy when it's not your life. The place where you sleep. Your kids, your wife. But when it's your fault... ...it shouldn't be so easy to sleep at night. Especially when we know where you live. Barry Redmond, CEO of Lorex Oil. 2641 River Rock Road, East Hampton. You dumped fifteen million barrels of crude into the Atlantic. We don't care how rich you are. We want all those who are guilty to experience the terror of their crimes. Because it shouldn't be so easy to get away with murder. Lie to us... we'll lie to you. Spy on us... We'll spy on you. Poison our habitat... ...we'll poison yours. We are The East and this is just the beginning. We will counterattack three corporations... ...in the next six months for their worldwide terrorism. (ALARM CLOCK BEEPING) No matter what happens today, you're still a winner to me. I'm only a winner if I get it. Your mysterious assignment. I think I knew more about you when you worked for the FBI. Want to meet at Clyde's after work and watch the game? You're on. Wish me luck. (INHALING DEEPLY) (OPERATIC MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO) FEMALE ANNOUNCER OVER RADIO: Serving the nation's capital, you're listening to Washington D.C.'s... ...premier Christian radio. (BEEPING) Hello, Jane. Good to see you. Good morning. (TALKING INDISTINCTLY) (PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY) MAN: Jane? Sharon's ready for you. (BEEPING) Who would you choose? Me. I'm unexpected. Being unexpected is the only advantage that matters. But you chose Tom. Why do you say that? He's your last interview. You remind me of myself at your age. Smart enough for it to be a disadvantage. You haven't failed at anything yet... not really. That kind of arrogance is dangerous. They'd smell it on you. I've been researching this field exclusively for nine months. You had a goldfish as a kid? Hmm? Sure. Mmm. You remember taking it home? You had to float the bag in the aquarium... ...gradually letting the water in little by little, so the fish can adjust. Okay. Don't follow your ego out of the bag early. That's how you end up dead. You put your first choice in the middle. Because to put it last is expected. MAN ON TV: Talk to your doctor to see if Denoxin is right for you. Be sure to ask about the free trial offer. FEMALE NEWSREADER: Oil tycoon Barry Redmond is the latest high-profile CEO... ...to be targeted by the eco-terrorist group, The East. Redmond announced he is taking... ...a leave of absence to spend time with his family, pending... (INHALES SHARPLY) FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Washington Dulles International Airport. Um, I was thinking maybe when you get back from Dubai... ...maybe you and I... Tim? Can we just see if I can pull this off first? Yeah. I'm going to miss you. (CLEARS THROAT) Text me when you land? (ANNOUNCER CONTINUES OVER PA) MALE ANNOUNCER: This is the final boarding call for Emirates flight 2046 to Dubai... ...at gate D-30. Final boarding call for flight 2046 to Dubai. SHARON: Hiller Brood is the top... ...private intelligence firm in the world. Anti-corporate terrorism is all about risk. Our job is to assess that risk for you. Are you dealing with a fly'? It's harmless, easily swatted. Or is it a mosquito? Can it draw blood? Or... is the threat the black widow? Sending you to the hospital, crashing your stock. Let's say it's a fly. You deal with it internally. Mosquito, our operative handles it... ...neutralizing the threat. Now... ...if it's the black widow... ...we'll have to see. We can extract our operative, liaise with the FBI and leave no trace. Gentlemen, we are in thirty-two countries, protecting your good names. Which is why it is essential very few have ever heard of ours. SARAH: Please give me the strength to do well. To not be arrogant. But to not be weak. Amen. (PHONE RINGING) SARAH: Hi. Checking in. JIM: Where are you? Delaware Seashore State Park. I've been sleeping here. How'd you get there? Rideshares off Craigslist. Smart. Any luck? No. Building confidence. Meeting dropouts, counterculture types, freegans. Have fun. (CAMERA CLICKS) (CAMERA CLICKS) SARAH: You get any matches on the pictures I sent you? JIM: Just dead ends. If any of these kids are part of The East, someone's been... ...covering their online footprint. I haven't met anyone even close to that sophisticated. What about Trevor Landen? Served a year for ski resort vandalism. Facebook links him to the Katrina Anarchist Kitchen. Oh. I saw him again last night. He mentioned hopping to Pittsburgh. I'll check him out. FEMALE NEWSREADER: Anti-corporate activism initially surfaced with groups like Earth First!... ...but now more radical cells, like The East... (TRAIN HONKING) It's picking up speed. I'm looking for The East tag. GIRL: I've heard folks from The East hop out in Pittsburgh. I heard The East doesn't exist. (COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING) (SINGING) Said I ain't no doctor Ain't no doctor's son Said I ain't no doctor Ain't no doctor's son But I'll cling to him Until the doctor come (LOUD RATTLING) Everybody out! Move it now! Let's go! Get up! Move it, move it. Come on. Move! Let's go! Get off my train! Let's go. That means you, too, you dirty queer! MAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're moving out. Wipe that off your face. No one's being violent. Hey, that's a girl, you animal! MAN: Who gives a shit? Who the hell are you? I'm cuffing you till the cops get here. (DOG BARKING) Come on, come on. (YELLING) What are you doing?! (DOG BARKING) Stop, you stinking trash! (GRUNTING) Come on. Get in. SARAH: Go, go, go. Are you hurt? I can help you. No, I'm okay. Just hungry. LUCA: I know a good place to eat. Eat these. You need some sugar. I'm going to dive the next one. Stay here. (LINE RINGING) SARAH: Trevor was a fed. I've been following a fed. JIM: Jesus Christ. I'm in some weird van. (SIGHS DEEPLY) What are you going to do? I'm going to check into a hotel. Take a shower. Jane? Let me call you back. (OBJECTS RATTLING) (WHIMPERING) (GASPS) They're good, yeah? Let me see that arm. No, I'm fine. Hold on. Is that from the fence? You need stitches. I can't go to a hospital. Do you have a phone? (KEYPAD BEEPING) You only have nine numbers. (LINE RINGING) What are you doing? You want our help? Don't... WOMAN: Hello? Sarah, are you there? Just say something, honey, so I know you're okay. The dogs miss you. All right, I'll talk and you can listen. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Sarah... Sarah? (SARAH EXCLAIMS) (PHONE BEEPS) What is this, Luca? I thought you were scavenging for the jam. I was. She's in trouble, dude. No, Luca, she needs to go. She needs to see Doc. You should talk to Benji first. (SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) Doc? This is Sarah. She slipped the cops. She's got a bad gash. Benji know? Sit down. Drink this. It'll numb the pain. I'm okay. It's no chemical. Purely vegetal. What is that? Superglue. That doesn't seem safe. It's a trick I learned in med school. It's perfectly safe. You're a real doctor. Uh, sort of. Most people don't like to look. I'm looking because I don't want to. My uncle has Parkinson's. That's not Parkinson's. I was in Kenya as an aid worker and I took an antibiotic called Denoxin. Had an adverse reaction. Snapped tendons, seizures, brain damage. From an antibiotic? Did you sue them? Oh, no. Those side effects are listed on the side of the bottle. That's how they rape you. In broad daylight. I feel... l feel dizzy. Do you have water? Just relax. Don't fight it. (RETCHING) Don't fight it. Don't fight it. (SARAH COUGHING) (SARAH GASPING) You smell like soap. I snuck into a hotel. I'm just here to watch you. I snuck into a hotel. Who's deaf in your family? No one. My friend growing up. What's your name? Uh... Sarah. Hmm. I'm Eve. Sometimes living like a stray dog sucks . (BOTH LAUGHING) We've been squatting here for three months. It's nice. Benji doesn't like to stay in one place that long. Who's... ...Benji? You'll meet him. Benji made me speak. He told me I was waking people up... ...with my voice. You have to put this on. I'm not wearing that. If you want to come to dinner, you wear this. Sarah Moss from Arizona. Who used to work in an office but is now a traveler. Sit. Since you're new... ...we'll wait till you begin. I've never eaten this way before. Do as you wish, but we'd rather wait till you begin. There's no wrong way. (SLURPING) What are you doing? I'm going to hitch a ride. I can't let you leave on your own. Luca will drive you back to wherever he picked you up. Come get something to eat before you go. So you can keep making an example of me to your followers? I have no followers. Well, I think you all made your point. Really? What do you think we figured out? That I'm selfish. Maybe that's what you figured out. Why does self-righteousness always go hand-in-hand... ...with resistance movements? I don't know. I hear you got in some kind of trouble. I can handle myself. So why come here? I was hurt. There was a doctor. And now you're better. So you should go. You wouldn't like what you find here anyway. What? I said, you wouldn't like what you find here, anyway. Why? Because this is the end of the road. There's nowhere to hide. And I'm not tough enough for the truth. No. I think you're not soft enough for it. No one should be by the road. She's right. Let's go back inside. Not her. Who is she? Who are you? I'm Sarah. Who are you? Drive her back. LUCA: Izzy. She took a punch for me today and fought off a bull. Since when do we turn away outlaws? Two nights. That's it. THUMBS: Can we get a hand? Found her shot dead in the woods. Thrill kill. Idiots. The best way to honor her is to not let her go to waste. You can remove the innards. Cut along here. Slow. Slow. Slowly. More to the left. Not that far! (LIQUID SPLASHING) (ALL COUGHING) BENJI: Intestine got clipped. That's just shit you're smelling. Every day our society abuses the environment. What's the easiest way to handle that pain? Never talk about it. BENJI: Yep. To bury the horror, pretend it isn't real. If it's real, you have to do something. Like this deer. BENJI: Someone hurt her. Someone you trusted, because... ...you trusted the system, trusted the government, trusted the church. Please stop talking about it. Feel her. Feel the last of her living parts. (MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY) IZZY: What if they share? BENJI: People don't share champagne. (SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) BENJI: Champagne, sir? LUCA: May I have your glass? BENJI: Enjoy. Champagne, sir? IZZY: DOC! He's having a seizure! LUCA: Get away. (BOTH GRUNTING) TESS: Doc, we're all here for you. LUCA: Relax. Don't say another word. The stress of all this is too much for his system. What if this happens when we're there? (WHISPERING) Why? I'm undercover. Do you know what happens to terrorists these days'? (SOFTLY) I'm not a terrorist. Life in prison. (DOC GASPING) BENJI: He's back. He's back. Hey, Doc. TESS: Doc, are you okay? DOC: Sit up. I know Eve is not your real name. No one uses their real name. J JE JESS JESSI JESSIC JESSICA How do you know that name? I know a lot about you. LUCA: One, two, three. Let's get him back inside. We're done. THUMBS: Where's Eve? (WHISPERING) Don't tell them. Don't. TESS: Where did she go? Jessica. Don't throw everything away because these people have convinced you that no one could love you but them. TESS: Where did she go? THUMBS: Eve! Eve, you have to stay focused, even when shit hits the fan. I had to take a piss. Relax. What did Eve mean? TESS: I'm not sure, but her stuff is gone. I knew it. Eve's chickenshit. Better to know now than later. This always happens. And you always act so surprised. When it comes to actually breaking the law, most people can't handle it. We shouldn't have given an important role to a 22-year-old deaf girl. We don't need Eve. We can do it without her. DOC: I disagree. It's too risky. He's a child. He needs distraction. Don't look at me. I'm not an option. What was Eve supposed to do? Maybe I can do it. BENJI: No. No. You can't. Why not? DOC: She only needs to know her part. You'd only know your role, right before you do it. Would you be up for that? You helped me when I needed it. I'll help you. Are you serious? There are consequences. I know. I'll do it. It's not a good idea. She can't do it. Sorry. IZZY: All in favor? (THUNDER RUMBLING) (PIANO PLAYING) BENJI: So if anything goes wrong, we split up... ...go back to the streets. Lawyer's number? 212-555-0106. You only have one job on this jam. Keep your mark engaged in you and not us. Okay? He's a sex addict, so... ...you have that in your favor. (BELL TOLLING) (BIRDS CAWING) (SHIP HONKING) Thomas, you son of a bitch! You a famous doctor yet, huh? Peter. This is Sarah, the girl I told you about. Very nice. Want a lick? In this weather? I'll pass. You're not deaf. Oh, no, that was a joke. Oh, you're a sick dude. I love it. You got nasty in Africa, didn't you? At Groton, this guy's name comes up all the time. Tommy wins this award, Tommy's banging so-and-so. The past few years, I haven't heard the name. Which is, frankly, quite a relief. I feel like less of a loser. Porty, uh, my two friends I was telling you about, Edward and Isabella. Porty McCabe. Porty McCabe. Tommy, you're kind of rolling deep. (WHISPERING) I mentioned them in my email. Porty, come on. Tommy. I'm sorry. They're my friends. I thought it was a party. It is, it is. But it's kind of a work party. So it's... You brought us to a work party? Yeah, yeah, but it'll be fine. It'll be fine, come on. Come on! (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) You're protecting the jam. I get it. But... ...I don't want to mess this up because I don't know what's going on. (WHISPERING) You're doing fine. Just don't leave the tent. Keep Porty occupied. Oh. And don't drink the champagne. I have to go. Can I get you a drink? No, I'm great. You are great, aren't you'? IZZY: I guess a match isn't in our future. I like hard courts. You're too young to know better. Edward, this is Rory Houston. He's on Mr. McCabe's board. Nice meeting you, sir. Edward Eneicher. I didn't realize you had a glass, honey. Want some champagne? Thank you. Have you felt the fake grass courts with your bare feet? It's impossible to tell the difference. That's why there's such a fervent pro-life movement in this country. I don't follow. Everything else is dead or dying. Even the grass is fake. We should probably go find... Porty. Excuse us. Cool it. Here you go. Bob, Sarah. This is my stepfather. This is his party. Robert. Is this your friend from boarding school? I went to public school. Me, too. I believe in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Nothing to stop you but laziness and terrorism. ROBERT: (CHUCKLES) Where did you find this firecracker? It's nice to see so many people in uniform. You're in the military? I work in the private sector now. Robert is being modest. He's the McCabe in McCabe-Grey. The pharmaceutical company. Mmm-hmm. Excuse me. Sir? Can I use your phone? Yes, but this one's actually dying. I have one in my room. You want to...? Wonderful. This way. (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Just a minute! (KNOCKING CONTINUES) WOMAN: Our Vice President, Paige Williams. (PEOPLE CLAPPING) Tonight we're happy to announce... ...the government will be supplying our miracle drug, Denoxin... ...to every man and woman in uniform. (GUESTS CLAPPING) Allow me to introduce our CEO... ...who has led this particular charge and welcomed us into his home. Mr. Robert McCabe. (GUESTS CHEERING) Thank you, Paige. (CELL PHONE RINGING) (TAP RUNNING) (WHISPERING) It's me. Can you hear me'? Where are you? Cape Cod. I'm at the home of the CEO of McCabe-Grey. I think they're poisoning the company with their own drug. When? Right now. What's the potential damage? I don't know. But the side effects seem severe. There are families downstairs. (KNOCKING ON DOOR) PORTY: You talking to your boyfriend? (FLUSHES TOILET) You there? It wouldn't be on the market if it were life threatening, okay? No, just listen. Stay calm. You hold your cover. That's our asset. But people could get hurt. I have no idea... ...what the dosage is. McCabe-Grey is not my client. Better? Who were you talking to? Told my mom we got here safely. A little old to be checking in with Mom, don't you think? I came up here to use your phone. Yeah, you did. Where you going? Stop-Stop! Calm down! (GRUNTING) (SCREAMS) ROBERT: Tonight marks a special occasion... ...in the McCabe-Grey family with this announcement. It warms my heart to be surrounded by so many familiar faces... ...at our party. At McCabe-Grey, we always ask... ...how can we keep people healthy... ...so they can enjoy their lives to the fullest? I'd like to refresh your glass for you. And among those we care about most... ...are our young men and women in the Armed Forces. Hi, I'll bring a new glass in just a second. I'll take that for you. Pardon me. Let me take that, thank you. ROBERT: Protecting them from Third World diseases... ...and biochemical agents such as anthrax... ...allowing them to continue bringing freedom and democracy... ...to the darkest regions of the world. To them... ...and to us. (GLASSES CLINKING) Whoo! (HOWLING) I'm sorry we couldn't tell you before we started. It must have been hard. What's going to happen to those people? BENJI: Nothing. If their drug is as safe as they claim. But you know Porty. Couldn't you have just talked to his stepdad? Please. (SCOFFS) They make $1.4 billion a year off of Denoxin alone. They don't give a shit. Maybe, but wouldn't people know about it? IZZY: Doc... ...tell her. She deserves to know. Tell her everything. My sister traveled with me to do aid work in Kenya. She took Denoxin. I prescribed it as an anti-malarial. Some weeks later, she woke up one morning... ...and didn't recognize her face in the mirror. The drug I had prescribed... ...had damaged her brain. It's a condition known as prosopagnosia. No one believed it was the Denoxin, but... ...I prescribed myself the same drug. And day by day... ...my mind and body deteriorate. (CLEARS THROAT) She killed herself some months later. We are The East. And we are your wakeup call. And we are not hiding from you. TOGETHER: We are you. We are the morning you got off the treadmill and ran under the open sky. We're the first time you kissed someone and they kissed you back. IZZY: We are the night you couldn't sleep. The night you stared at the ceiling, thinking, "Is this it? "Is this the best life has to offer?" No. There is a freedom in you that knows no fear. Last night, we gave pharmaceutical giant McCabe-Grey... ...a taste of their best-selling poison, Denoxin. We encourage the media to follow the company's members. We will counterattack two more corporations for their injustice. We will not show mercy. (LOCK CLICKS) (WATER SPLASHING) So you spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on is your partner. You ask them permission for what you want to do. Like, um, "Can I shake your hand?" And they'll say, "Yeah", or... ..."No, I'd rather not." Or they'll pose an alternative, like... ..."Why don't we high five?" Or something. Here you go. (ALL LAUGHING) Can Thumbs and I hug you for one minute? All right. (GRUNTING) Come on. Ah! This is ridiculous. (CHUCKLING) Thank you. I would like you and Thumbs to hug me for one minute. (ALL LAUGHING) Can I kiss your belly button? You may. Thank you. (LAUGHING) LUCA: Can I kiss you? Ah! (LAUGHTER) Oh, that's good. Can I kiss you? Okay. (CLEARS THROAT) You may. Can I kiss you? Can we hug instead? Sure. (SNIFFING) I can't believe these were going to a landfill. THUMBS: Tess. Where'd you harvest? Hartford. New apples come in, old ones are dumped. Give me a hand? Where's Benji been? He sometimes takes days to himself. DOC: Guys? You should see this. MALE NEWSREADER: Shocking news Friday that the board of McCabe-Grey... ...had been drugged by a terrorist group... ...calling themselves The East. McCabe-Grey Vice President... ...Paige Williams spoke to reporters today. I had a bad rash and a nasty stomach ache... ...but those are mild side effects for a drug that has... ...and will continue to save thousands of lives. As you can see, I'm in perfect health, so we at McCabe-Grey... ...are glad to be given a taste of our own medicine. It tastes great. We should have used the higher dose. TESS: They've paid hackers to break the encryption on my last video. They won't break it, but... You don't know that. I do. Mine makes theirs look like pig Latin. We still have two more jams before we leave. I think we should let other collectives draw some attention first, and cool out for a bit. I agree. Let's break for a while. It's a good opportunity to keep up cover on the outside, for those of us who do. If you like it better, stay. If not... ...come back. We have a lot of work to do. MALE ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, next and final stop, Union Station. Watch your step as you exit the train. Thank you for choosing Amtrak. Wow. Your hair. I didn't even recognize you. (CHUCKLES) (SARAH SIGHS) How was Dubai? Can we not talk about it? So you missed me a little bit? Excited to sleep in your own bed? (METAL DETECTORS BEEPING) Mr. Douglas, step aside for additional screening. Hello, Jane. Good to see you back. The group says they have two jams left... ...until they disappear and resurface with a larger organization. How will they do that? There's a girl they call Tess. She's interfacing with other cells in the deep Web. What cells? We assume other likeminded groups. But we don't know who or where. We need to start information sharing with the Bureau to cover ourselves. You've been in the field quite some time. There are too many unanswered questions. Too many questions. Understood, but we were able to identify two key members. That's William Woodhouse Ill. We're waiting on real estate records... ...but we think it's his property the group thinks they're squatting on. Using Stanford medical records, we were able to identify Dr. Thomas Ayers. That is his current Facebook page. "Mimi" is a fake profile. That's how 450 friends think they're in touch with you... ...when no one has actually seen you for years. MALE NEWS ANCHOR: Okay, Bob, exactly what are we talking about? MAN: We're talking about a class of drugs... It seems so loud. Mmm-hmm. You usually ask me to turn it up. (REDUCES TV VOLUME) You Okay? Oh, just jet lag. I'm just tired. (SIGHS) I know you're not allowed to talk about what's happening... ...but do you want to... ...talk to me about how you feel? Like I've been in a foreign country. But I was there for such a long time that it all started to feel really familiar. So when I came home... ...it feels like a foreign country, too. That's hard. Yeah, it sucks. (BOTH CHUCKLE) Maybe we can make something familiar for dinner tonight. To welcome you back into this country. Like what? Like spaghetti and meatballs. Really? Mmm-hmm. Okay, yeah. Or, we can go to the store together and find... What's she saying? Turn it up! Why? (INCREASING TV VOLUME) And... ...I don't know, it's hard... (CHUCKLES) It's hard to communicate what it feels like to have... ...your mind and your body taken hostage. And I don't just mean... ...my body. I mean, my mind. My mind, I feel different. I feel... Um... I don't feel... I don't recognize myself in the mirror. Uh, I used to hear about their stories. How do they let this stuff on the market? Oh, my God. We never took any of that stuff, did we? No. I checked your medical records. I forgot something at work... ...so I have to run to the office. I'll stop at the store on my way home. I'll be right back. Okay. SHARON: I do love to be proven wrong. When you came to me... ...with those videos and wanted to start a file on those kids... ...I thought I'd recruited another Bureau idiot. Robert McCabe called me himself. I told him, in one month's time... ...I would have the identities of every person who poisoned his company. We'll send you back in. Why not just raid the house? Have you been smoking pot with them? They don't smoke pot. We're not some blue-collar security firm. I have GPS for that. We spend 99% of our time pitching clients we never sign. I want to know what the next two jams are, avert those disasters... ...come out looking like a leader in the intelligence community... ...with two new clients. Then you can lock them up till middle age. What are we not talking about? Getting attached to them is all right. It's human. We know it happens. It's the first thing we cover in training. If you spent every day with a pack of White supremacists... ...you'd develop feelings for them, too. But do not get soft. (HELICOPTER WHIRRING) If they find out who you are, they won't give a second thought to your destruction. (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) (PEOPLE WHOOPING) DOC: Sarah! You dance, don't you? Come on. Guess you didn't like it better on the outside. The jam worked. (GIRL WHOOPING) Is that why you came back? I came back because I missed being uncomfortable. You want to keep going? Yeah. (BIRDS CHIRPING) Sorry. Oh. That's okay. You left. I thought you got lost. Oh. I couldn't sleep. Want to go for a ride? Yeah. We can go down there. You know these woods well. Have you lived here before? Yeah. I was born here. SARAH: How did the house burn? I set it on fire. Where was your family? My parents were already dead. We were out on a night sail... ...Mom, Dad, and my dog, Growl. Your dog's name was Growl? We hit a submerged shipping container and the boat capsized. Growl and I ended up beside it, and Mom and Dad underneath. At first, I could hear them in there... ...and then I couldn't. So when I got back, I had all this money and this huge house and everything. And people had changed. They treated me differently. Everyone. My friends, my uncles, my grandparents. But what scared me... ...was the fact that I let them. That I liked it. I saw how money corrupts everything and I felt that it started to corrupt me. That's why I set the house on fire. Things would be easier if we didn't feel the need to fight. If we could just let go. Maybe you should. Just disappear one night. Can we wash you? I don't think I'll feel comfortable unless you say it. Yeah. You all can wash me. Are you okay? I don't think so. Nothing will happen that you don't want. You're in control. Do you want to stop? No. I want to keep going. Okay, we're going to wash you as fast as we can. Will you help? (TIMER RINGS) Sweetie! Sweetie, please! Hey! Set a good example for your brother. Stop it. BOY: I have an idea. (TIMER TICKING) You do my head and I'll do my body, then it's faster. Why is she timing them? Because the water's filled with arsenic and lead. THUMBS: It's Ambler, Pennsylvania. The whole town's downstream from a Hawkstone mine. They've pumped waste into that ground for years. Just like Sago, where I grew up. Get in bed and I'll read you a story. Pick one out. We put the house on the market... ...once we found out the water was eating away at the enamel in Taylor's teeth, but... ...unfortunately, no one wants to buy a house in a town with poisoned water. My husband's work gets a great deal on bottled water. We use it to brush our teeth. We're really lucky. The little one died three months ago. Brain tumors. Okay, I think that's enough. Okay, do we agree on the plan? An eye for an eye. Can't be more. Can't be less. So, technically, we could kill them and be in your moral clear. That's not funny. How we perform a jam is as important as its outcome. What outcome? Nobody cares about that freaky Paige Williams anymore. The McCabe-Grey jam worked like gangbusters. True, but it's blown over now. People don't respond to your intellectual bullshit. They respond to firepower. It's like 9/11. That's why I was in Iraq. You got to get people mad. Okay, just wait. What are the real risks here? Twenty-five years for kidnapping, if they can prove intent to bodily harm. BENJI: Sarah... ...what do you think? I think hurting people isn't going to bring that little boy back. Paige is going to have seizures like Doc. We saved tens of thousands of people from that fate. But if we hurt people, aren't we just as bad as they are? Then why are you here? What, I have to agree? Are we fascists? BENJI: Of course not. You told me five years ago, individuals had to be held accountable. I joined this group for this jam. This is my jam. It's our jam! We work together. Don't forget that. Hi. I'm Diane Wisecarver, senior-level management at Hawkstone. You'll notice behind me here, an array of large machinery... ...but rest assured, it is state of the art... ...up to the latest environmental codes and standards. This beautiful lake is a natural wildlife preserve. It's tested twice a year. We have an abundance of wildlife that visits. And we've had all nearby creeks tested by three independent agencies. There is nothing wrong with the water in Ambler. (THUNDER RUMBLING) (PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY) Katie. Hello, Dad. What are you doing here? I set this up. You're so different. Beautiful. Not that you haven't always been beautiful. More beautiful in a dress. You're a woman. All grown up. Where have you been? Around. Traveling. Have you seen your mother? Does she know you're back? I'm not back. And since when do you care about my mother? Looks like you stopped running with those freaks. Are you okay? Are you short on funds? I don't need anything from you. Hmm. I came to ask you a question. You came all the way to this hotel... ...and my company's summit... ...to ask me a question. Shoot. Did you know Johnny Perkins died from brain tumors? Who the hell is Johnny Perkins? He died from cancer because the water in his house was filled with arsenic. Urn... He was four. And he lived in Ambler. What is this? Is this part of some rehab or something? A lot of people have been hurt... because of what you've done. I just need to hear you say it out loud. I'm not playing this game with you. You know how they say two wrongs don't make a right'? I'd say whoever said that has never been wronged before. (GRUNTS) Sit. Help! Someone call an ambulance! I'm a doctor! I can help! (AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING) What's wrong with the fish? Nothing is wrong with the fish. They're dying because you poisoned the water. RICHARD: This has gone on far enough. We've had enough of this. It's 2158. Almost time to get in. I don't understand. IZZY: It's pretty simple, really. You make your living by poisoning this creek and other rivers and lakes. You separate yourselves in gated communities with golf courses... ...from the world you're destroying. From the families who cannot afford to move away from this creek. Or from the cancer their children are dying of. You create for a living... ...toxic chemicals that will outlive us all and feel nothing. But tonight, you will feel something. Strip. Be reasonable. You're threatening our lives. BENJI: You're the CEO of this company. How many lives are you threatening? Huh? (SIGHS) We can't go in there right now. SARAH: Why? Why can't you go in there? What happens at three? Take off your clothes or I will do it for you. We could pay you. We could pay you to have it cleaned up. Just tell her the truth. Shut up, Sarah. Time to get in. (BOTH GRUNTING) DIANE: We can pay you! That's enough! Izzy! IZZY: Sarah, back off! I didn't know! You did! You did know! It's just easier to pretend you didn't! Get in the water! All right, okay, yes! Yes, we treat the coal! We treat the coal because it burns more efficiently! Yes, we do! And we dump the slurry in the river because it has to go someplace! People need power for their homes! Get in the water! She said it! We made our point! We made our point! (SPLASHING) (PANTING) God help me. I don't know how it got this far. I'm sorry, Katie. I'm so... ...sorry. (SIREN WAILING) [Pigs! Let's go] Dad? Dad? Izzy, we have to go! Get off! (GUNSHOT) (IZZY SCREAMING INDISTINCTLY) IZZY: Let me go! Freeze! BENJI: Get on the bike! IZZY: Let me go! Get on the bike! (MOTORCYCLE REVVING) (FIRES GUN) Okay, we're here. Izzy, we're here. (WHIMPERING) Izzy? Doc! Doc! Clear the table. Somebody get Doc! Clear the table! (IZZY SOBBING) BENJI: She's been shot. Where's the wound? In the back. We need a light. I'll get it. I need a BMV mask. The one I showed you. It's in my room. And I need alcohol. And salt! Get salt. (SOBBING) I need to cut her dress away. Can we flip her? (IZZY MOANS IN PAIN) Easy. (MOANING) (SHUSHING) DOC: Okay, roll her back. I need to get to her abdomen. Cut that cloth away. BENJI: I want you to breathe. Just breathe. Keep breathing. Keep breathing. (WHISPERING) When she's out, I want you to put the mask over her face. Regular breaths. BENJI: She's out. DOC: You got it. Squeeze it. Full compression. (EXHALES) Guys, he needs to focus. Get out. You Okay? Give it to me. Give it to me. Tell me what to do. BENJI: Give it to her. Come here. Put it over your arms. Okay, scalpel. You need to make an incision a quarter-inch deep... ...and two and a half inches across. SARAH: Starting here? DOC: Yeah. Good. Okay. You'll have to go through the muscle tissue, so you have to go deeper. Go along the same line. Okay, just clamp that. Push it deeper. Now close it. Okay, just lay that down. You're going to need to make your hand flat and push it... ...through the abdomen into the large intestine. You need to feel around in there and find the bullet. Oh, my God, you got it. Thank you. We have to sew that up. (BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY) Why did you come here? BENJI: Sometimes people die before they're ready. Perfect relationships end in ruin. Adventures peter out. Izzy always said she wasn't scared. She was scared shitless. But she didn't flee. That's what made her braver than me. LUCA: Benji! Stop it! Stop it! (OBJECTS CLATTERING) Benji! Where are you going to go? What did you expect, that it would be easy? That it would be painless? No. A revolution is never easy. But that doesn't make it any less important. You can't just walk away from it. Yes, I can! I would trade the revolution for Izzy any day. That's it. That's the difference between you and me. SARAH: That was a Hawkstone jam. It obviously has not been released. The group has unraveled without executing their last jam. (CLAPPING) Her name was Kate Cannon. Her cover identity was Isabella Duncan. They called her Izzy. She dropped out of Brown her junior year... ...when she met William. I'm subletting a basement apartment in Georgetown. (SIGHS) I don't want to lie to you. You can still spend Christmas with my family. You're still family. But it's just been a long time since I knew what you were thinking. I haven't been to Dubai. I've been in an anarchist collective not that far from here. Why does someone do a job like this'? Tonight You just close your eyes And I just watch you Slip a Way (SOBBING) How close am I To losing you JIM: It looks like they're regrouping. You have to go back. Sharon wants more intel. The FBI's looking to make arrests. Hey, are you awake Yeah, I'm right here Well, can I ask you About today How close am I To losing you Come sit. I'm a pretty terrible cook, I should warn you. Remember when I said you could just disappear? I think it's time. Izzy's dad was all over the news. I think me and you... I mean, Doc, everyone. I think we should go. I think we have to leave this place. No. We can't do that. Why? I have something planned for us. A jam? Could you just forget that for a moment? For a month? Leave with me. This is going to be our last jam here. Then we'll take off. But this has to happen now. I need you. I took a bullet out of lzzy's stomach. She's in a hole in the ground. I don't want to keep going like this. I can't. No one will get hurt this time. You can't promise me that. Okay. But I'll do this, with or without you. What's the jam? I won't go in there blind. You don't have to. I'll take you there. Tonight. Are we almost there? Yep. So you can tell me where we're going. I think you know. Since when? The early companies we jammed were clients of Hiller Brood. I've been waiting for you for a long time. SARAH: Did everyone know? No. Just me and Luca. What do you want? A list of every Hiller Brood operative all over the world. Their identities... ...locations, assignments. You're going to recruit them. No. I'm going to watch them. Spy on us and we'll spy on you. To even get into the building, you need clearance. What makes you so certain I'll get you that list? I'm not. I'm not certain of anything. I'm going to wait. Here. For whatever you decide to do. Pigs! I need to see Sharon. She's in video conference upstairs. It's urgent. Please let her know I'm here. (MAN TALKING INDISTINCTLY) It's urgent as in "Will you go upstairs and get her?" Right now. (TAPPING KEYS) (CAMERA CLICKING) (CAMERA CONTINUES CLICKING) (ELEVATOR DINGS) What is so important it couldn't wait fifteen minutes? The final jam. It's Lyra. They're going to hack the satellite. Turn all the cameras in the sky against the CEO, the CFO, the COO. Spy on them. They can do that? Yeah. Ooh. And broadcast it online. That's clever. Safe. (ELEVATOR DINGS) Oh, the Bureau raided The East house today. I thought you'd want to know. Another cell will probably pick up the jam. I was sharing some of your report with the Bureau... ...and they reminded me of something I wondered about. Why all the dumpster diving? Why not just grow your own food? He's got money. Why not buy an organic farm? They eat garbage on principle. It's not rotten food. It's good food that has to be thrown away legally. The system is broken. And the evidence is the trash. It has value. I know... I've been eating three square meals a day from it. (BEEPING) Step aside for additional screening. Oh, I'm grabbing something for Sharon from her car. Please spread your arms and legs. Greg? (CELL PHONE CHIMES) (CAR ENGINE STARTS) We'll send your BlackBerry upstairs when we're done. Thank you. (TIRES SQUEALING) Wait! (PANTING) They raided the house. Did you get it? The FBI raided The East house. Doc is probably on his way to jail. Not in vain if you wipe out the agents on that list. Did you get it? No, I didn't. (THUMPING REPEATEDLY) They took my BlackBerry. I know a lot of the people on that list. We could go to them. If some of them saw the things that I've seen... ...they would turn. They would turn. Sarah, this was supposed to be a jam. We'd destroy Hiller Brood by posting their agents' real identities online. Those people work undercover. You can't expose them. You could get them killed. You told me you wanted to watch them. I want them to feel the consequences of their actions. Then you should start with me. I'm on that list, too. You're burned there. They'll be coming after us. We have to get across the border. (TIRES SQUEALING) I can't get on the truck. We have to go. It's not safe for you here. I can't go. Can't or won't? I won't. Jane. Come with me. We don't have that list. But if we did... ...I think that you and I would want to do different things with it. (RETCHING) Please give me the strength to do well. To not be arrogant. But to not be weak. Amen. |
