AJ: Sarah.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Sarah?

- Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.
- (DOG WHINES)

Okay, hide the porn, here I come.

Hey... Sleeping Beauty.

Hey, AJ.

You have class in, like, 20 minutes.

What time did you get home last night?

6:00 a.m. Still count as last night?

Somebody had a fun evening.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

- This your mom's new masterpiece?
- SARAH: Hot off the presses.

"To my biggest fan.

Love, Ellen M. Cooper".

She signed it?

Mm. My mom would sign a toilet brush

if you let her. Not
that I'm complaining.

- She's been good lately.
- Mm-hmm.

Take an autograph from
my own mother every day

of the week if it means
she keeps behaving herself.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for my Nirvana T-shirt.

And I'm automatically the prime suspect?

I see how it is.

Accused of theft in my own home.

Okay, it was me.

I'm sorry. Do you want it back?

Not while it still smells
like Teen Spirit.

Let's go, Fenway.

(MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY)

(SIGHS) Good morning, sunshine.

I had Luis make yours a triple.

You, Corinne Dearborn, are an angel.

And you, Sarah Cooper,
are sitting in maple syrup.

- Oh, my God.
- (LAUGHS)

- Yeah, Grover was just gonna clean it up.
- How you doing?

Tired and sore.

Someone I know kept crashing
into me in the pit last night.

It's a punk show. You're
supposed to go home sore.

I'm not complaining. You can crash
into me whenever you want.

Uh, you know you
missed a spot, actually.

(SARAH LAUGHS)

Make sure you get it all, Grover.

Can't have my bestie walking
around with syrup ass.

- Thanks, Grover.
- Uh-huh.

- LUIS: New special.
- Wow, Luis.

Italian iced coffee

stabbed with cocktail swords.

The blood is cherry glaze.

I call it the Caesar Freezer. Huh?

What do you think?

I think you should only sell
it on the Ides of March,

and the receipt should be in Latin.

- Brilliant as ever.
- Thank you.

- Have a good one.
- Bye, Luis.

Bye.

CORINNE: You know there are

a dozen more of those
mining company cidiots

showing up every day?

Hopefully the town meeting
today will finally

tell us what the hell
they're doing here.

- It's got to be big.
- Hmm?

How do you know?

That's the fifth one of those
I've seen this week, so...

unless they're assembling
the Transformers,

I think we're in for some
serious construction.

Well, maybe it's a good thing, right?

I mean, if whatever
Lydon Industries is doing

means that they invest in the town,

then the revenue could pay
for local improvements.

And a rising tide lifts all ships.

- Yeah, and a flood drowns everyone.
- MAN: Sarah.

Oh, so how was last night?

Nothing happened with Grover.

Because you don't want it to?

Because... he's my best friend.

Other than you.

- And I don't want to risk losing that.
- Mm-hmm.

Yes, I like Grover,

but I can't be the one
to make the first move.

Not after what happened.
It's just too soon.

So, for now the ball's in his court.

Well, let's just hope that

pretty soon his balls are in your court.

(BELL RINGING)

All right, all right, all right,
all right, all right,

you little monsters, let's get started.

Don't let the goofy hair fool you.

Ethan Allen is an imposing dude.

While the redcoats have been
back in England sipping tea,

this guy has been on the
frontier fist-fighting bears.

He's basically like
colonial Jason Momoa.

(LAUGHTER)

So, Ethan and his men
take Fort Ticonderoga.

After clearing British outposts here,

our heroes head north to...

Anyone?

Bella, eyes on me. Uh...

Tyler, care to enlighten us?

They went north to Crown Point.

Very good. Except now
our militia's being led

by a very dreamy Jon Snow
type named Seth Warner.

Seth Warner, who, before the war,

worked as a... Maya?

Oh, I don't think she speaks
English. (CHUCKLES)

She hasn't said a word since
she showed up in this town.

If only keeping one's mouth
shut were a skill

we could teach you, Hunter.

Okay, Seth Warner worked as a surveyor,

and yet he would go on to lead

one of the most successful
colonial militias

of the whole revolution.

- (BELL RINGING)
- Just another reminder that ordinary people

can do extraordinary things.

Thank you.

Maya, will you hang out for a sec?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Why didn't you answer
my question just now?

You wrote your last essay
on Seth Warner.

You probably know more
about him than I do.

I know this transition is hard.

Greylock is about as far
from L.A. as you can get.

And as far as class goes,

you don't need to dumb
yourself down to fit in.

- Just be your normal smart self, okay?
- I can do that.

(CAR DOOR OPENS)

(CAR DOOR SHUTS)

Danny?

What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same question.

Don't tell me you're
still living in Greylock.

You work for Lydon Industries?

Why else would I come back?

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you. Thank you.

Today's a great day, folks.

Today, our quaint little town

becomes a really big deal.

Now, please join me in
welcoming one of Greylock's

own sons to the stage, Danny Cooper.

(APPLAUSE)

Your brother?

DANNY: I'm excited to announce

that a sizable deposit of
coltan has been discovered

right here in Greylock.

It's a metallic ore used
to make parts for

electronics... uh, capacitors mostly.

Our engineers have spent
the past few weeks

mapping the deposit

and have finalized a plan to extract it.

We'll begin with an excavation
on the eastern edge of town.

Once those sites are up and running,

we'll start work on a few
processing facilities

on Main Street, as well as new housing

to accommodate the influx of workers.

Now, uh, Danny, the project
includes upgrades to

local infrastructure, correct?

New roads, new power grid.

New tennis courts for the high school.

I know my daughter
will love that last one.

DANNY: Absolutely.

Improving Greylock is among
our highest priorities.

Your success is our success.

- Hi.
- Now, we hope to begin immediately...

It looks like most of those
buildings sit on private land.

Yes, thank you, Sarah. I
was just getting to that.

Our project does require acquisition

of a few private properties,

but anyone displaced by the drilling

will be displaced right into
the home of their dreams.

Uh, I built my house with
my own two hands, Danny.

I'm already in the home of my dreams.

Well, if you'll just be patient,
I'd be more than...

SARAH: Who are these workers
you're talking about?

We don't need a bunch of
flatlanders taking over.

- MAN: What about tourism?
- MAN 2: What about noise from construction?

WOMAN: Is coltan toxic?

- Uh, people, please.
- MAN 2: What about our water, our air?

I'm sure Lydon can answer
all your concerns.

Of course we can. Of
course we can. Uh...

but it's clear this is
not the place to do it.

We'll schedule one-on-one meetings

with landowners in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, let me
just say thank you

to Mayor Whitmore, and,
uh, congratulations.

(CHUCKLES) You all just won the lottery.

WHITMORE: Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

- (APPLAUSE)
- MAN: Don't feel like the lottery, though, huh?

SARAH: Danny. Danny.

Hey.

Danny, what are you doing?

You mean besides my job?

You were gone for years.

No calls, no e-mails, no nothing.

You could have been
dead for all we knew.

Now you're back for what?
What, what is this,

- some kind of revenge tour?
- Revenge tour?

I'm here for work, Sarah.

This has nothing to do with you.

This has everything to do with me.

You can't just appear
after all this time

and expect me to act
like everything's fine.

And don't even get me started
on whatever the hell that was.

Processing facilities on Main Street?

We don't even have
stoplights on Main Street.

This land you're talking about...

what if people don't
want to sell it to you?

They'll sell, Sarah. They always do.

Everyone's a revolutionary
till they count

the zeros on the check.

- Come on, Danny, this is your home, too.
- Was.

Was my home, sis.

Now it's just another Podunk town

on a long list of places
I'd rather not be.

You're more than welcome to leave.

I will be gone soon enough,

and these people can go back
to their worthless little lives

with all their worthless little friends.

How is Mom, by the way?

you want... I'll give you one.

Danny being back in town,

but clearly you've already heard.

- The prodigal son returns.
- (SARAH SIGHS)

I thought I would have
a little celebration.

Yeah, it looks like more than a little.

Well, you say potato and I say potato.

You had ten months sober, Mom.

- So what?
- So that's a big deal.

It's important. Not to...

Not to mention the fact
that I put in a lot of work

to get you those ten months, Mom.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

So, what do you want, a medal?

What I want is to be able
to come to your house

and not worry I'm gonna find you
face down in your own puke.

If you came here to make me feel bad,

- you can just leave.
- No, Mom, I can't.

(MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY)

Hunter, Hunter, stop! Stop!

Hey, come on, Bella.

I mean, do you really
want to be the only one

of your friends who's still a virgin?

Do you really want to be the only one

of your friends with a broken nose?

Forget it.

Thought you were cool.

I thought the same thing about you.

- Bella.

Danny.

You presented Lydon's plans yesterday.

You can't start working today.

People have a right
to protect their land.

Their land, sure.

The plots we're clearing
today are municipal.

Means the mayor is free to
sell us the mineral rights.

Fine, but these municipal plots

share a boundary with people's homes.

You're about to wipe
out their backyards.

Well, they're more than welcome to move

their backyards someplace else.

Yeah.

- Sarah, move!

The tiny New Hampshire town
made headlines this weeks.

after it was announced that
a billion dollars' worth

of coltan was discovered
within its borders.

But it looks like local residents aren't

going down without a fight...
"Live Free or Die" indeed.

The dispute is likely
to end up in court...

before school starts.

Hey, the pumpkin patch on Jefferson Road

is finally open... I was thinking

we could go this weekend.

You know,

the transition to your new home
might be a little easier

if you adjusted your attitude.

This isn't my home. My home's
in L.A. with my friends

- and family.
- I'm your family, Maya.

No, you're the dude that
knocked my mom up

16 years ago,

then remembered he was gay and ran off.

I didn't run off.

Your mother and I decided it
was best if we parted ways.

Best for who?

My mom's in jail and that
stupid judge sent me here.

got the life they wanted

You guys, I know how we can stop this.

I took a class in college on
early American cartography.

Luis reminded me of a
weird thing we studied

that I think can help us.

As long as we belong to New Hampshire,

New Hampshire makes the rules, but...

what if we didn't belong
to New Hampshire?

Are you suggesting we
secede from the Union?

- (CHUCKLES)
- You have to be a part of the Union

before you can secede from it.

We don't qualify.

The first people who lived
on this land were the Abenaki.

For hundreds of years they had

a thriving civilization

until a bunch of French and
English colonists showed up

and pillaged, plundered, and
poached them from their homes.

Those colonists then went
on to divide up a continent

that was never theirs to begin with.

Long story short: we have the
U.S. and we have Canada.

The border between the U.S. and Canada

was established in 1842

by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty.

Part of that border is set
by the Woonsock River,

which flows along the
southern edge of town.

But check it out.

When the Canadians mapped the area

in January of 1842,

they drew the river in one place.

When the Americans mapped it

four months later, they drew
the river way further south.

Why? Because the river jumped

between the dates that
the maps were drawn.

It happens for all kinds of
reasons... erosion, floods...

it's pretty common.

Here's the uncommon part.

The treaty says that everything
north of the Woonsock

is Canada.

And everything south...

... is America.

The river jumping left a huge chunk

of open land in the middle.

Greylock sits in this land.

Which means that this town
was never legally claimed

by either of its national neighbors.

If we declare independence,

we'd gain total control over
what happens within our borders,

including who does and does
not get to drill on this land.

The way to save our town is
to turn it into a country.

- (SIGHS)
- Are you insane?

I-I want to stop the drilling
as much as the next person,

- but declaring independence... it's...
- Insane.

Okay, guys, chill.

I'm not suggesting we actually
start a new country.

We just got to make Lydon think we are.

We declare independence
using this map loophole,

and the whole thing will
get tangled up in court.

Lydon will have to stop drilling,

which will give us time to figure out

how to save Greylock for good.

AJ: Let's say we go along with this.

How exactly do we declare independence?

We just text the president, "Boy, bye"?

We hold a vote.

If the majority of Greylock
says yes, we're in.

Lydon started eminent domain proceedings

way before anyone in this town even knew

there was coltan under our feet.

If they want to play dirty, fine.

So can we.

We need to put a stop to this.
Now, earlier today,

Sarah had her mother call in a favor

with the district judge.

He signed off on an emergency referendum

on independence.

Which means that the only way

that we can stop this
ridiculous idea now

is to win the vote.

This is clearly some kind of
tactic just to slow us down.

Whatever it is, it's dangerous.

Besides, I know I'm not
the only person in town

who sees some benefit
from Lydon's plans.

What we need to do is to convince people

to vote against Sarah's
plan for independence.

Now, Sarah and her pals are
already knocking on doors.

It is time that we do the same.

MAN: That's right.

Cruella de Vil, was it?

You here to bulldoze our town hall?

I'm here so I can tell you

I know the truth about your mother.

Ellen Cooper: renowned public servant,

best-selling author
and, as it turns out,

world-class alcoholic.

Those are police reports
from the late '90s.

They detail a handful of incidents
involving your mother.

She was arrested three times for DUI.

There was also an episode
in which several people

reported hearing her
screaming at your brother.

He was only 11 years old.

The sheriff at the time
buried the cases,

and no abuse was ever reported.

Kill this independence thing,
or those go public.

Danny told me how much
your mother means to you.

You're a classic fixer.

Hopelessly devoted to broken people.

You'll do the right thing,

even if you don't know it yet.

(DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS)

- Sarah?

You gave Marilyn those police reports.

You gave her Mom, so she could get me.

Sarah, I have no idea...

What did I do?

What did I do to you that was

so bad that you decided your life

would be better without me in it?

(SIGHS)

All I have ever wanted
was to be close to you,

and all you've ever done
is try to get away from me.

I know what Mom was.

I remember the night
you had to get stitches

'cause she threw a glass at your head.

Sarah.

You got to see this.

I had a long career that saw the public

put their faith in me,

a faith that I repaid with deceit.

But the deceit stops now.

I'm an alcoholic.

Both during my years
in politics and today.

The truth is that I was arrested
three times for drunk driving

during my tenure in the State Senate.

I regret that I didn't have the courage

to get the help that I needed.

I want to apologize

to anyone who has been
hurt by my actions,

especially members of my family.

To my children...

I'm sorry.

All of the titles that I've ever held,

"mother" is the one I'm the proudest of.

But the one that I deserve the least.

Your confession this morning...

Why did you do it?

Well, late last night, your
brother came to the house.

He made it perfectly clear
he still wants nothing

to do with me.

I guess he feels differently about you.

You've spent your whole
life protecting me.

I think it's about time
I return the favor.

Does this mean you
believe in independence?

It means that I believe in you.

Well, that makes one of us. (CHUCKLES)

But the last thing anyone needs

is me hiding in a closet,
crying into a tub of Rocky Road.

I guess I'm just...

... scared.

You know, Sarah,

when things got hard during my career,

hiding in the closet and
crying into a tub of Rocky Road

is exactly what I did.

Except, in my case, it wasn't
a tub of Rocky Road.

The fact that you're
facing this head-on,

it's all the proof you need

that you're ready for this.

I've changed my mind about independence.

The whole thing started

as a tactic to slow the governor down

so that we could gain some leverage

over the mining company.

Declaring independence was just a trick.

But I don't think it should be.

I think we should do it for real.

(LAUGHTER, MURMURING)

WILLIAM: Okay, Sarah, just stop.

You can't honestly believe we
should declare independence.

I believe in this town, William.

I believe Greylock is worth saving.

It should be obvious to everyone by now

I have no idea what I'm doing.

don't know how to run a country,

let alone start a new one.

But here's what I do know.

I know that I care about

I know I'm not gonna let

And I know that Lydon Industries,

are more than welcome
