as it should be. Today marks the fifth Tuesday of September, year 2017.

Proceed as is customary.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early

light what so proudly we hailed

I am so honored to accept your consensus decision in my re -election as the

mayor of Cherry Point in this seventh zone.

Nearly half a century ago, our forefathers sought a solution for the

sorrows of a tense international landscape. After consulting with the

Dr. Baroff, our government ensured that the solution was delivered to our

doorsteps when we needed it most.

of course, is the establishment of life, liberty, and the guarantee of happiness

for all.

Because everyone deserves happiness.

Over the coming months, we will be developing a cure for this inequality.

I will be keeping a log of our progress during this period.

And upon completion, we will offer it free to America and in time the world.

I believe that the solution lives and examining the very crux of our existence

that is our biology as a starting point we will be looking at the choices of

impulses such as the ability to judge and act on something as simple as color

using a special enzyme we will target these functions of the brain and inhibit

the influence of the frontal cortex on our emotions our time is troubling and

ever challenging We now face an era in which terrorism is making leaps and

bounds, not abroad, but domestically. It's a terrorism that we have not faced

before. It does not leave behind scorched earth, radiation, or debris,

rather disgusting sly smiles in the shadows, overzealous screams of

or pain, and the faces that leak of moisture for all to see.

My brothers and sisters, these men and women are sick.

and most dangerous.

They take our children in the night and teach them the misery of feeling.

To turn the clock of our society back to a time when the life, liberty, and the

guarantee of happiness was still a pursuit.

I will raise the stakes of their game, enacting more aggressive policies within

the Torpace Distribution Division and the provisions of its programs.

I am also honoring the ban on flights and travel for another four years until

our investigation of the hubris is complete.

And to those of you who have earned the nickname Springer's, I say this now

directly to you, Springer is down.

Torpate is the great equalizer.

Dick Medicine is the new American dream. People have gone back to work, the

economy is strong, and everything is as it should be.

May you thrive.

May Dr. Barrow thrive.

And may these United 16 Zones of America thrive.

Farewell. That concludes tonight's history seminar.

Return to being as you should be.

Landmark events would reinvigorate the citizenry. The late 1960s brought the

advancement of... Good morning, Mother. Good morning, Judge. How are you? Mr.

Armstrong demonstrated what it is like to wave a national flag on the moon.

And military weaponry reached ahead.

The hallmark of the generation, however, happened on March 5th, 1970.

It was that day President Lyndon B. Johnson revealed the revolutionary drug,

Torpace, and shocked the public.

Torface's medicinal purposes were extensive and effective, immediately

the doorsteps of every American as a humane supplement to every day life.

Upon delivery to the bloodstream, Baroff's work would weaken and

destroy all physiological and psychological stressors.

Families arrived to clinics and droves to receive their doses and administer

them to their children, children who were sure to see a brighter future.

Revered and respected worldwide,

Johnson would forever be remembered as the hero of poor people who had overcome

pain.

1039 Kafka Street. We will be there within an hour. Thank you.

Project Commonwealth.

We will arrive soon.

Thank you for seeing Reason.

Send in the next person and clear your desk.

Mary Sanders?

Yes.

That is my name.

How are you?

I am as I should be.

You have been absent from work quite often.

Why? I must care for my child while my husband is on leave.

He was injured on duty last month.

How am I supposed to react to such news?

With consideration and decency.

Such phrasing relies on the notion that sentimentality plays a role in decision

making.

This money is necessary for my household.

I do not have time to look for another job.

Ms. Sanders, are you springing?

That's absurd.

I respect the laws of this zone.

You are springing.

It is unreasonable to suggest that I work under circumstances that are not

normal or desirable.

Teresa?

Yes, Mr. Richards?

Send in security.

I have a springer. Okay.

Mr. Richard, I believe I am sick.

How else do you account for the springing when I am a regular user of

Calm yourself.

They are on their way. I am merely sick!

Yes, you are.

We need to contain the illness before it spreads.

ETA, 30 seconds.

That will...

interfere with my family's contentment.

Don't you understand that?

You have to see reason.

Ma 'am, you are not as you should be. When was your last administering? Have

overdosed or implicated yourself in springdom?

I have done nothing wrong.

I am on Torfade.

I am just sick.

There must be something wrong with the dosage.

She's leaking. Let's get her on the move.

No!

Help me!

You have received an email.

Your

deleted.

Joshua Barrett.

Mr. Richards?

You will document the death of Miss Sanders.

Time? As soon as you arrive at her residence.

Block lane. Which half?

Probably the white one.

Mary Suzanne Sanders, you have been found in contempt of Ordinance 1756

governing our 16 zones.

You do understand the implications of this act?

Yes. Mr. Barrett is documenting your seizing as his right and fair.

Is she asleep?

Is she asleep?

It's all part of the game.

That's hardly fair.

You played the house.

EpiPen.

Do you have an EpiPen?

I'm gonna go look for love.

Help! Somebody!

He needs help!

Somebody, please!

Help!

Matthew. He needs medicine! Somebody, he's dying!

Help! Matthew!

Come on, stay with me. Stay with me. I like you.

Matthew.

Dirt.

Sir? Yes.

People need their medicine.

You are without.

Sign here.

civilians. If you are without, approach the vehicle.

We welcome you back now to the Cheery History Channel.

The introduction of the Torpacian to society was met with great ovation and

enthusiasm. However, as is customary from time to time, not everything is as

should be.

Dissenters would roam the streets during the dark days of the inappropriately

enough indicative clothing they wore.

They had many names.

of the Democratic and Republican parties.

One by one, they were mercifully brought under the dosage, a decision that many

of them reflect on as the best decision of their lives.

The following are only a few testaments of the horrors they wish to forget and

the pain from which they longed to escape.

I'll never forget the time when I was 15 years old and I was so disgusted with

the way I look.

I didn't even want to show my face.

tried all kinds of medicines, anything, and nothing seemed to work.

This one time, when I felt a hand tap me on the back, I remember when I was a

little girl, she said, what's wrong with you?

And I said, what do you mean what's wrong with me? She goes, your face.

What's wrong with your face?

I don't think anybody can understand, but when I hit that water, I never

to come back up again.

So you got fired?

Yeah.

I did not do a satisfactory job.

I imagine it was getting dull anyway.

You'll find another.

My father was never happy with me or my mother.

He was never really happy ever.

What did the EMF say about your arm?

They were timely, efficient, friendly.

The nerve endings are too thin for practical use.

My torpid intake must be increased.

You still receive extra cartridges on Father's Day.

That is true. I had forgotten.

We should inform the TDD that he has been in the reaction.

I am sure they will sort matters on their own, son.

When I was seven, I told him he was a piece of shit.

Do you know yet when he will return to us?

A year later, he was gone.

Never been happier.

I don't think it's possible for anyone to understand just how much I hate that

man.

It's not something I like to talk about.

All she ever did was drink.

I had come home from work late that evening.

I always tried to do that to avoid seeing her.

Because whenever I did a sip, my mom

would already be through some bottle of wine.

The door wasn't even shut before she yelled it. Something on your mind?

She said I was making too much noise.

Do you enjoy your TDD privileges?

Becca, it's important to stay on toast.

But not for you.

I'm no more fortunate than you are.

It's a privilege that's earned by hard work.

To build trust.

I stay on Torpe's to retain what trust you have left in me.

I like this.

I like this.

Just take the torque base.

It's safe.

Expected.

Much as expected.

Not all is fulfilled.

Maddie and I are done.

Father no longer sees us as a reasonable match.

She is one of several partners.

We will meet next week.

Hello, friend.

Be calm.

Calm.

I'm a friend.

You're safe.

Joshua. Just give me a little pinch right now.

They will subside.

Calm down.

You can take a drink.

Wash the taste buds.

Although you may think it feels like hell.

This too will pass.

Bear with me.

Thank you.

There is an oxygen leak, sir.

I don't think I need to tell you what kind of fire hazard this is. We are

searching for the source.

Sir,

I wasn't expecting you.

Neither was I.

Our meeting ended production schedules.

Yes. Reduction's up 200%. The workers seem to be... Good.

I understand.

I hear Albert is getting more bold.

Are we having any springer issues?

Actually, they were on the perimeter just this morning.

Took out one of our trucks.

Damaged a fuel line.

Won't be long before they actually break the perimeter. They left this.

Oh, Todd.

What are you calling me?

You know I'm available to take your call at any time.

What have I told you about bringing Torpace in this office?

This feels defective, Todd.

Keep

it ready,

Todd.

Yes, sir.

If you are without, approach the vehicle with pumps visibly in sight.

Thank you.

Joshua, how do you feel?

How do you know my name?

My name is Albert you're not sick you're sober Welcome

to life without tar face or rather welcome to life

Let me help you up.

You'll be alright.

Did you feel that?

Good.

Follow me.

There's much to see. Come.

Keep moving, Joshua. Come on.

You're going to see so much.

And it will mean so much more to you.

Look Where

am I heaven?

Come on, Joshua.

Welcome, Joshua.

How do you know my name?

I'm in a springing camp.

No, springing is death. They'll kill me.

Alfred, you... I can't do this. Springing is death.

Springing is death.

That's enough, Chris.

You may go, Joshua.

He may be special to you.

But this is an awful risk. He knows we're here.

Everybody goes out on their 21st.

Things got out of control.

Hi, Mom.

How are you?

Son,

I am as I should be.

You shouldn't have your arm in hot water like that.

Sorry I haven't been here for you.

It is inconsequential.

I do not need your assistance.

And I do not need to know where you are at all times.

Thought you were asleep.

You've never been late before.

DDD, open the door.

We will force in...

Hey, what

are you doing?

Why are you guys charging in here?

You've been caught stealing tour page, Tom.

And that's a criminal offense.

Becca, go to your room.

Stay where you are.

Dad? She needs it. She needs more of it.

She's different.

She can't think straight without it.

Look, Todd, I have my orders.

The mayor has granted you a party.

We are here to take you to the factory.

Becca, are you there?

Becca! We have no concern for her.

You all right?

He stole torpedoes from me.

I have the right.

I'm an executive in the TDD.

Not anymore.

And that didn't kill him?

Mayor's orders.

Because I think they intend to kill someone else.

No!

Becca!

No!

Becca, come on!

They told me to stay.

So you want to die?

Think we lost him?

No.

We're here. Take yourself comfortable.

This doesn't mean anything.

It'll look good on you.

Time to start teaching you two a little bit about living.

Think fast.

I see you've already learned something about living.

I'm impressed.

Okay, how does this make me feel?

I want the baby to stop crying.

But what do you feel?

And this one?

Albert.

Seriously.

Forget what you know.

Look at it.

How does it make you feel?

Sad. Why is that?

It looks painful.

It was. There was no tour case back then.

Well, I'd have given it to him.

No reason for him to endure that if he didn't have to.

You've heard of him, though, right?

You know him.

Let me ask you something.

When was the last time you ever did anything worth remembering?

Becca, what makes you happy?

Not being on 4P.

No, no specifics. You need to connect with something tangible that will

with you.

Good, you're making progress.

Anything?

Just duck down low and find a nice hot glowing cone.

Right up.

That's it, you're getting the idea.

Thank you.

Wow.

Now that was definitely worth remembering.

What does this one make you feel?

Hello, friend.

Cory!

What are you doing here?

Good to see you.

Did Albert bring you here too?

No, I didn't.

So, just an accident?

I'd like to believe it was.

Yeah, he's acting alright.

His husband is a little bit farther than usual.

How are his friends?

That's why I have the perfect plan for his expertise.

You're okay.

It's not something I ever learned. It's not something that I ever talked about.

I don't think people can understand.

I'd like to know.

Mañana.

Mañana.

Señor, tu escuela empieza a empezar.

Eh, puede ir.

Y son ideas para todos.

Que me importa.

What was that?

The TDD doesn't need a visa or a password to know your birthplace isn't

here.

How did they know how to find us?

They're not after you.

You're useful.

We will never have a better opportunity than we have now.

We attack with all the resources we have, including the new recruits and

we already have in town, and concentrate our efforts.

Here. We're used to doing hit and runs. No, no, there's no subtle way about it.

No subtle way. Look, if we could test a way to get someone in and then they

could let the rest of us in through this door.

That factory is not just going to let someone in.

Yeah, but we have all these new recruits and they're not trained and we have to

have some safety with it because we don't want to just... I found a way in.

What if we use the empty delivery crate to get in the back door?

How many crates would we need?

How about that?

No, you're going to put it in the front door.

No one's home.

That

works.

I mean, it worked on the Trojans.

This is a mistake. It will work

My brother is dead.

The raid wasn't worth it and you knew it. This whole charade isn't worth it.

You don't care about any of us.

All you care about is your precious God.

He doesn't care about us at all.

You're just as evil as the people that run that town.

At least they make it painless.

Why did you come back?

They took bullets to cover your escape.

Some of them are dying. This is yours. Yours from the beginning.

Why did you go?

I had a choice. Yes, everyone did.

No. This whole thing has been about your divine mission.

You preach free will, but you leave no choice.

The true priest. It's your free will to kill them.

Don't forget that.

If I'd known you were such a coward, I'd left you in torpes.

Leave. Don't come back.

Alley from the mayor of Cherry Point.

And if I remember correctly, you're Coring.

One that takes care of our animal population?

You know who this is?

Who do I?

We tried to get him to talk before he woke up, but, uh, he wouldn't talk.

He's dressed like a spran, but, uh, he's not sprained.

What are you betting, then, Corey?

What? I realize it's difficult to get into, and you know all those short

people who cry sometimes.

It could be fun.

I've seen those girls around town.

You know, they've sung National Anthem for me just last year.

That's beautiful, wasn't it?

Would you like them to come here?

Sing for us?

Please don't.

I'm sure.

No.

Take him down gently.

Make sure he gets some medical attention and, uh, things head close.

I don't want him treated like a Springer.

We'll keep an eye on him for a couple weeks.

I want him to, uh, go home and have dinner with his family. Those two lovely

girls.

Why did you kill him?

He's sick.

So why don't you take care of him?

You know, I was quite a nice dude, and I really just wanted to be with you

all. There are many people who fail to see the bigger picture, Corey.

El uso de camo. Un acento.

De hacer.

Y usted quiera ver otra vez. Yo cambiaría su plan.

Se toro sobre toros.

Incluso usted.

What's yours?

Just because my family chose a different lifestyle does not mean they cannot

love our son.

Love, that is not relevant.

Torpe saves lives and protects us.

It's the law.

Our son will not associate with those that would damage him, including your

family.

Is he springing?

Why is he springing?

It's okay, son.

You're not as you should be.

I will not allow this to hurt you.

Everything and anything. I don't think people pronounce it that way.

What's wrong?

You can tell me.

Please tell me.

Oh, cool.

You had to come back.

I didn't know. Sorry.

Why didn't you tell me?

It was her intention to baptize you.

A guardian trying to instill belief in their child.

But belief is the individual's choice.

Their choice to make of it what they will.

You were the last to be baptized here.

And the only one to be named Joshua.

It means God with us.

And I've watched over you ever since.

I have to apologize to you.

I've given you a gift and they didn't tell you what it meant.

Fear.

It's okay.

To be afraid.

It was mine.

My choice.

And the others?

Those that made it back are fine.

Chris is nursing her shoulder.

There's no other injuries.

What about Corey?

He stayed behind to cover us. He said he'd come back through the woods.

He... hasn't.

I guess we need more people then.

We can't replace who we've lost.

We can stick close together.

There's a magnetism in that.

I'm willing to try.

Just below the surface A drift in the ocean When you

pulled me out I was buried in the mountain

Never to be found then You pulled me out

can stop pretending the world isn't ending well it just

seems right that we could be the last one to

understand what love is when it seemed right

yeah

this ghost town we're going home

nothing makes a sound

What is happening here?

This area is being zoned off for reconstruction.

What do you mean being zoned off?

What's wrong?

As long as that drug is in this town, I will be here in your face.

causing you stress.

You like to play games.

Be careful, sir.

And why would that be?

No one lives forever.

Hello, Albert.

What do you want?

Oh, to come home.

Get a full eight hours sleep every night.

You?

I want to share God's peace.

Nothing more peaceful than a good long rest.

I hope you got the euphemism.

I did.

You're beyond my help.

But with God's grace... Oh, Albert.

Why are you hurting them, Albert?

Why are you hurting my children?

My flock.

Everybody keep quiet. Let's go to the back.

You've misled them to the misery of feeling.

I'm leading them to the joy of living.

Huh.

You're right.

You can't have one without the other, Albert.

That's just it, isn't it?

A trade -off.

The probability of hate with the possibility of love.

Hmm.

Unnecessary gamble.

Yes.

You picked the apple off the tree and it's so, so sweet.

But I'm gambling too, Albert.

I'm betting that Cherry Point is the promised land and that we've all come

home.

It's a desert. For me, it will never be home.

Are you sure, Albert?

You know the curse, Albert.

They're in the cabin. Check it out.

How about a nice dose of torpes?

There's no one here.

Then check around back.

Leave him be.

Let's go.

Leave my children alone.

Albert!

Oh God.

Stay with me.

Come on. Come on. Stay with me.

Stay with me.

You'll be alright. Come on.

You'll be okay.

Where the hell have you been?

I thought you were dead.

Yeah, I figured that.

Well, take into account there was no attempt to find me.

What can we do for him?

What can we do?

Well, how about you put him out of his misery?

We can't just kill him.

He's dying, Josh.

End this.

I can't.

You?

or any of you, for that matter, want to survive, you've got to start looking at

the bigger picture.

That's what it takes to persevere.

Joshua, lead them better than I did.

You don't talk like that.

No, no.

It's my time.

I know it.

God, with my blessing.

God with us.

I know one of y 'all is smuggling torpes.

Cough it up.

Don't. Don't let him put that poison in me.

Please. It's all that I ask.

Isn't there something?

Shut up.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Thank you, man.

Back off.

He doesn't want it. Do you think I give a damn what he wants?

Do you think he cares about any of you?

Look, maybe we're meant to spend our lives paving the way.

It's humane.

And it's civil.

So back up.

So what are we going to do now?

Carry on.

He paid a high price so that we could.

A lot of good that did us.

Show some respect.

So who's going to be the fearless leader now?

Joshua.

You're much better suited for it. I won't hear that.

He made it very clear who he thought should lead.

Okay.

We need to reform.

We need to reorganize.

It's what Albert would have wanted.

Becca!

Becca!

So what's the plan, Josh?

I don't know, Corey.

I don't know.

Thinking maybe we should cut our losses?

Go back?

Back to what?

To town.

To a place.

The mayor knows where we are.

You're in over your head.

We are losing sorely, Josh.

No. I made a promise to Albert.

Look, you may hate me, but... I don't think people can understand

that. I'll wait.

I understand.

We can't hide like this.

I told you.

The law hasn't changed yet.

But don't worry.

Soon everyone will accept your peace.

Nothing will matter anymore.

It doesn't matter.

We will always seem different.

Close your eyes.

Close them.

Can you tell me where I am from?

Can you tell me the color of my skin?

We will try to hide it.

It will be a new London.

Everything will be the same.

Everything will be legal.

It will be perfect.

It will be our country.

Open it.

So, are we going to arrive with mom and dad?

What are you doing?

Is that blood?

Is that blood?

Why would you do this? Why?

What's going on with you?

I thought you were happy.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong with me?

Based on Becca's blueprints, we know the TDD has smaller security at this main

entrance here. It'll provide faster access into the other areas of the

Josh?

Randy, your job will be to take a smaller group down the side while I take

another group down this main corridor here into the main infiltration room.

Josh?

I'm not done yet.

I promise you guys, this will all make more sense here in a minute.

Josh, you need to see this.

I'm really sorry Josh.

Your injection is invalid.

Please try again.

Enough,

Joshua. She's gone.

Gimme that syringe!

Bend it over backwards.

How are we going to persevere?

Maybe Torpes is a special mercy

for a species that has far outlasted what God intended.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm out.

I'm sorry, John.

Can't keep running.

We're running into hell.

Fine.

Go.

Get that the back of the father.

You know

what's funny?

You care more about her and death than you did your own mother.

Who you left to rot.

Look at me.

You want to keep doing this?

You want to keep running?

You don't stop.

As long as the choice is yours, you don't stop.

So there's a pool of knowledge.

Cory, I thought about what you said.

And you're right.

We gotta get out of here.

Josh, I'm sorry, man.

This is not for me.

What are you two doing here?

I didn't see the same thing.

We've had enough of this whole Springer scene, Richard. We're headed back to

town.

You know, you're right.

May I come with?

Fine with me.

As long as it's fine.

My brothers and sisters.

These men and women are most dangerous.

They seek to take your children in the night and teach them the misery of

feeling and to turn the clock of our society back to a time when the life,

liberty, and the guarantee of happiness was still a pursuit.

Everything in it. Okay.

I don't think people can understand.

I'd like to... Sir?

Yes?

Call for you.

I'll put it on speaker.

Sir, there's been an incident.

Fire has consumed the mixing station.

We're experiencing three malfunctions in the factory.

Permission to notify... Son of a bitch! Stop the car!

Get out the car. I'm driving. Sir, what point do you have?

Back her.

Joshua Ferris.

Come out.

Hands up.

Unarmed. And all other springers inside.

Now, Joshua.

He's gonna kill her.

Show me your hands.

Now the rest of the springers.

Come on down.

Form a line.

Okay.

Simple game.

I need a consensus decision to rejoin civilized

society.

For every minute you make me wait for your group

decision, I will kill one of you.

And start with me. I won't give in.

Okay.

Son of a bitch! Get back in line.

Come on.

Simple. Game.

The clock is ticking.

My answer remains the same.

No.

I'm sorry. We gotta give it up.

We got to. Chris is dead.

Alright. We can't win.

We'll be next.

Listen to him, Josh.

We won't give up. We can't give up.

Not while we have the choice to decide for ourself.

Okay.

How do you do it, Michael?

Get back in line.

You think you're so smart?

You are a murderer.

You killed all those people. You are a

monster.

Stop, please!

Shut up!

How'd you do it?

Huh?

You're the Monster Cory.

You want me to kill another one, Josh?

I need

attention,

man. We gotta get you to a hospital.

They're not here.

They'll just turn us in.

We have to run.

There's nowhere to go.

It'll kill us.

At least it'll be our choice.

You got her? Yeah, I got her.

Hey, hey, where's your nearest hospital?

Was she springing?

Hey, hey look this What

the hell are we man?

When the unconscious as soon as you can get here It's not something I ever liked

to talk about.

It's not something that I ever liked to talk about. To lose everything in it.

I don't think people could ever eat again.

Oh boy.

When was the last time you ever did anything worth remembering?

Been crawling in the dark, cold hard rocks against my bones.

Just waiting for a spark to turn my fear into calm.

But suddenly there you were, not a ghost.

You're the best.

is war.
