Hello members of the press.

Thank you for joining me for this satellite conference today

to discuss the new "Decorum Act"

As you know, domestically we

are dealing with a war far more destructive and insidious

than our ongoing wars in Australia, Africa and Canada.

It is the war on our population explosion.

The new laws of our great President Han,

may seem harsh ...

but they have been made with the good of our country in mind.

This great nation of ours

has been built on the extermination of its people.

What??

Uh,

the DEtermination ... the determination of its people.

Oh, God.

Okay ... okay.

Don't panic ...just, don't panic Forget it!

Uh! - Senator?

Surveillance went down, I got worried.

I turned it off.

Is it true, the death penalty? - Yes.

Well, as least you're not ...

Senator, ...

Are you okay?

Huh, uh.

What's going on?

Would you like a glass of water?

Oh, my!

Zack?

Go in there and tell me what you see.

Sure.

What am I supposed to be... looking for?

Is that a bathroom?

Yes, of course.

You're not in a bar with three people in it?

Okay, ...

so, you're halucinating.

I'm going to call med services. - No, don't do that.

It's probably just that virus,

the same one that my wife and son had.

I'm going to get you some aspirin and some chicken soup. - Okay.

I'll be right back.

Hello, again. Feeling better?

What's your name?

Senator Knowles.

Sarah.

Do you know why you're here, Sarah?

Well, that's a first.

I'm here because I have a high fever.

So, you think we're a ... halucination?

Where's that music coming from?

The jukebox. - Aah!

Jukebox! Oh!

I've seen these in pictures.

Oh, , ah, oh.

He can't have me arrested for listening

to music, in my own halucination, can he?

Who? - Him.

Who is that?

President Han, of course.

Your President has people arrested for listening to music?

He'd have you arrested for wearing that dress.

By the Fashion Police? - It's a bad influence.

It makes people think about sex,

which equals offspring, which equals overpopulation,

which equals starvation.

What year is it? - 2058.

Oh, ...

oh, I get why I'm having this halucination.

Why?

Ny mind wants me to remember

what the world was like before it got so dark

and sad and ugly.

So, we're figments of your imagination,

representing a happier time?

Yeah.

You remind me of my grandfather,

when I was a little girl.

And, you, are like

one of those sexy, charming, punks I used to

fall in love with when I was young.

You think I'm a punk?

Better than being her grandfather.

So, who am I in your halucination?

I think ... you're me

when I was young and happy

and I could hang out in bars

and have sex and ...

and read whatever I wanted to

and laugh.

And, you can't do those things now?

You can't make a move without being watched.

But, I'm ever hardly allowed to see anyone.

Why are you so isolated?

... Because everybody wants to kill me.

They think, because I'm a Senator, I have a say

in the laws of my country.

They don't realize that I'm as powerless as they are.

In America? How?

Apathy. Complacency. Fear.

This is fun, ha.

I feel so free here.

(Sarah chuckles)

I think am just going to dance naked on the bar.

Yeah, go for it.

No, no, no, no, no.

Wait ... is that a television?

I remember these. Let's watch a television program.

Let's watch a Sci-Fi classic, Fringe.

Let's try this one over here.

How could they know yet?

Know what?

That I'm the only one who knows.

Sarah, wake up.

You fainted.

So, this wasn't a halucination, was it?

No.

Are you going to arrest me?

No, we're here to help you.

Who's the man in the newscast?

Who is Zack Sizer?

He's my Chief of Staff.

So, its true then,

he's dead?

He's not dead, yet.

That was a projection of the future.

That's what could happen,

if you don't dramatically change

some path you're about to go down.

Sarah, what's the "Decorum Act"?

What do you have to do with it?

We're not judging you or threatening you.

You're here because your life has been thrown off balance, somehow.

We're here to help you ... - I have to go find him.

Well, that went well.

Oh! My God! Oh, my God.

Are you still alive?

Oh, what am I doing. - No, wait, it's all right.

Surveillance is still down.

Here's some aspirin and soup tabs.

Aaw.

Hey, where's your wig?

Uh, ...

Are you okay?

I have to talk to you.

Is it about this?

Yes.

You should have let me follow her out.

Patience, Doug.

There's a time and place for everything.

But these gadgets are all your thing.

And, someday they'll be yours.

You gotta learn how to interpret them.

And, it takes focus.

What's it telling you?

President Han's Health and Safety law

requires mandatory sterilization

for married couples after their first child.

And, ...

makes it illegal for unmarried women to parachute on Sundays?

You went south and back in time.

That's Florida. Wrong state. Wrong century.

That makes no sense.

I know. Parachuting is just as dangerous

any other day of the week.

No-o, if Han is so

worried about a population explosion,

Why doesn't he just lift his ban on

birth control and abortion? - Because then he'd have to

admit he made a mistake.

How many dictators do you know who would do that?

So, what does he do instead?

Pass the Decorum Act.

What is the Decorum Act?

It says, any man who refuses sterilization

and has more than one child, in or out of wedlock,

is branded a traitor to his country

and given the death sentence.

Decorum Act, sounds more like Hold on

to Your Balls for Dear Life Act.

It's my pregnancy test.

And, it's red because ... I'm pregnant.

Zack is already married and has a son.

Shouldn't he have been sterilized, then?

A lot of people were refusing to do it, that's why

President Han created the Decorum Act

to motivate them.

I'd say, execution by one of those scary

futuristic laser things would motivate men sufficiently.

I knew Zack hadn't been sterilized.

I knew he's married ...

I knew he had a little boy.

And, now their going to kill him and take my baby away from me.

That's where we come in,

to help you through this.

I already know my options, they're all bad.

Wanna bet?

What? We're going to play a card game?

It's no game.

What does that mean?

Possible outcome for you.

If another man marries you and claims that

the child is his,

that could get you out of this.

I don't even have contact with anyone else, except Zack.

It's just a possibility.

The Decorum Act will safeguard our resources,

which are currently threatened by our

surplus population.

This card requires that you break the law.

But, the option shows you back at work as if

nothing ever happened.

Abortion.

Do I ever get pregnant again?

What is that image mean?

Not sure. But you're alone.

Whew, I don't want to be alone.

There is one more card.

That can't be me? - It's you.

This place exists, Sarah.

And, it appears you'll find it.

How? I can't just get in a car

and hop on a plane somewhere.

I am tracked. Wherever I go.

They can't have cameras everywhere?

Forget cameras, I have a security chip inside my body.

There is no escaping from that.

(sobbing) I hate my life. I hate my life.

Then, change it.

Haven't you been listening?

How can I change if my hands are tied? I can't

do anything!

The cards say otherwise.

The question is, Sarah, what is it you really want?

I want to marry Zack. I want to have my baby.

I want my country to be a beautiful place to live again.

Can you wave your magic wand and make all that happen?

Do you see this?

Beautiful.

It was my grandmother's.

And, she was a woman who never compromised.

Not in love, marriage

or anything.

I wish I were more like your grandmother.

You can be.

You can lead the life you want,

if you have the courage to fight for it.

I'm so tired of compromising.

I have been compromising all my life and

look where it's gotten me.

I don't want to do it anymore.

And, we can help you.

So, you'll follow me out and then what?

I'll figure it out when I get there.

How do I know you'll even show up?

We're asking you to trust us.

All right.

Thank you ... for giving me hope.

You're up.

Finally. Thought I'd never make it out.

UH!

What the hell just happened?

Security.

President Han runs a tight ship.

How are we going to get around it?

Remember that chip Sarah had implanted

inside her body,

Yeah.

We need to get one of those.

Hi.

I'm Dayna.

Wow.

I only see women like you in my dreams.

Let me buy you a drink.

Waiter.

God, I have such a weakness for men in uniform.

Cheers.

I need to get a body scan of you.

Take your clothes off.

Ouh! Ouh!

You're being very brave Irving.

Thanks.

Huh.

So, there. What war were you fighting?

Australia.

What did we ever do to you?

It's nothing personal, just following orders.

Huh.

If it was up to me, I'd be home with my family.

Well, that's a decision you

can now make for yourself.

So, am I going to see you again?

That depends on what you decide.

You're next.

You know it's the only way.

I understand.

Surveillance is still on.

They're waiting.

(Sarah, off screen) Members of the press and dignitaries ...

Who are you? - Thank you for joining me for

this satellite conference today. As you know ...

I'm Lieutenant Irving Grossman.

I'm here to ...

I'm Sarah's husband.

Could I borrow that for a minute.

Take good care of her.

... our great leader President Han, the Decorum Act.

Hold that thought ... Senator.

Allow me to

introduce myself,

I am twice decorated Lieutenant Irving Grossman.

And, I think the Senator is being a little shy.

I believe the people of this great nation,

under our leader President Ho ... - Han.

President Han would like to hear the happy news.

Sweetie.

Senator Knowles and I secretly married got married

last week. See.

Now, unfortunately, we have to run

because I'm stationed in ...

a top secret location.

So, even though, right now, she's too choked up

to talk, she would like to say goodbye

and good luck to you all.

Actually, I would like to say something.

Go right ahead.

I would like to choose Zack Sizer, my Chief of Staff

to replace me.

Because he is a great patriot.

And, also because it is my right to do so

under the Wasilla Act of 2016,

which says that government representatives who leave

office early are allowed to choose their own successors.

We have to leave, goodbye.

Military escort is outside.

Thanks, Senator.

Good luck.

I love you.

How did it go?

Good. Good news and bad news.

I'll take the good first.

Aah, our plan went off without a hitch.

Sarah's going to be just fine.

Well, let's not make any assumptions.

We all deserve the right to choose how

we're going to live our lives.

It is time to rise up against the

monster who has oppressed our great nation,

for 21 long years.

Who has tried to make us forget the beauty of music

and love ... and family

and self expression.

It is time to rise up against

President Han.

Pregnant and leading a revolution.

And, they say, woman can't have it all.

So, what was the bad news?

Oh, you didn't get a chance to see me in my uniform.

Looked pretty good.

Huh.

Try this one on for size.
