Is he doing the God thing?

Oh, I hope not.

God's not popular right now.

He doesn't care.

He likes God.

God likes him.

He's here.

The king approaches.

Sir, I'd feel much better about this if I could see your speech first. Stop

asking.

Where's Reverend Samuels? Reverend Samuels isn't here yet.

Not like him to miss a crowd.

We'll just have to start without him.

He's supposed to give the benediction.

We could hold for another 15 minutes.

It's cold out there. The people are cheering.

I'll have my son do it.

You're not going to be warm enough.

Really, sir, you have the entire country listening, and you choose today not to

let me see your speech?

I'd love to, if I'd written one.

Didn't write a speech. It'll come.

It's not popular to speak of God.

But I do so now and publicly because I feel blessed.

I am blessed.

I look at the city that we built through industry, through ingenuity, through war

and sacrifice, and I feel that blessing.

This city is the dream of a half century, and this morning, we bring

that dream into the day.

We have built Shiloh.

There's no surprise.

I knew this day would come.

I knew this land, these territories once at war, factions, fractured, were meant

to be.

One nation, together, at peace.

When I first looked out at the ruins that would become Shiloh, there was

nothing. Ashes.

An empty shell of a city bombed ten times over by three armies.

But I looked.

My eyes opened.

And I saw Unity Hall, right here, as it stands today. Pay attention, boys. Your

father died fighting for this.

I looked and I saw people, former enemies, working together, rebuilding

together. I saw hospitals, streets, traffic, jewelry shops, police stations,

rude old men stealing your cab, trucks selling 50 different kinds of ice cream.

I saw it all as if it was here already, under one flag, united, under one king.

Wrong.

Morning.

Are you Jesse?

My mom.

Then you get a name.

David.

What's the problem?

The car.

It used to work and then it stopped.

We've got the ceremony on inside if you want to watch it.

You look like you know what you're doing.

My dad taught me.

Is he around?

He died in the war.

You need a new hose.

Will that take long?

New one would.

The dead has arisen. Look at you.

It was just a cracked hose. You maybe, but for me that was a broken car.

You have a little something on you.

There.

I can't charge you for a piece of tape. It was your time that I owe you for.

I'll meet you halfway.

This broken thing has been in my pocket for the last six months.

Should have taken it to a shop, but if you can fix it, you deserve it.

Thank you, sir. You are

very polite, David.

It's just the way I was raised.

Well, do something about that before you grow up.

And that's when they came.

I felt a shadow above me.

I looked up and saw a great swarm of butterflies.

And they circled around me like leaves in a storm, floating, soft, landing upon

my head like a crown, a living crown, God's signal to begin.

I pray as I take my seat in this great new capital to be worthy of his

anointment and of your trust.

Like the king himself, who rose from meager beginnings as a soldier to a

monarch beloved by his kingdom, the new capital at Shiloh has risen up from the

wreckage of war and become a beacon of hope for our people.

There you go, boy.

Our taxes went into rebuilding that full city for 20 years. At least you'll be

able to tell your grandkids I saw it happen.

Except for David.

He missed it.

Who's in the shop, anyways?

Reverend Samuels.

Who wants pancakes?

The only dark clouds on this day are reports of tension in the north, with

fears that border disputes with Gath could escalate.

Certainly King Silas, veteran of the unification wars himself, will do what

he can to prevent another war.

Hey, Chet.

Chet.

There's the go.

I swear, man, your mom's making the best friggin' brownies, man. What's in these?

Gilf.

Hey, give me a light.

Easy, killer.

I promised mom I'd take care of you. No smoking.

Ah, damn, Goliath.

Every day, another round just to remind us where I've gone.

We were talking about it.

Must be working.

I got a pool going on when you think they'll blow today.

Actually, it should be any second now.

Kind of.

It's a different time every day. It's completely random. Any second.

I swear to God, if you weren't

my brother, I'd think you were a spy. How'd you know that was going to happen?

Have another brownie.

You guys here?

Squad got pinched at Foxland Forest.

They got out alone somehow.

No air support.

Bastards ambushed them.

They dead?

Not all.

They took hostages.

Platoon was ambushed. Foxland.

Twelve dead.

Two hostages.

Over the border.

They go too far.

Gath.

They'll find I'm willing to meet them and go further.

We don't negotiate for hostages.

Much as we want to, much as our soldiers deserve it.

War asks the heart to freeze at room temperature.

Send for the families.

Sir, it was the 127th.

Sorry, sir, it's...

Call the ambassador to Gaff. Get them back. Get it done.

You can't.

We don't negotiate for hostages, as you said.

We can't now.

And what do we do?

No one goes after the hostages.

We don't need any more law.

In the last 18 months, anyone within 200 yards of a Goliath was a loss.

This comes from the top.

on the move?

Hell, you walk quiet, chap.

What the hell are you doing out here?

Nothing.

Anything moving out there?

Oh, I got a 5K over on the 50 yards off of the edge.

I thought I saw a shelter go up.

Dude, what are you doing?

Can't run anymore.

Oh, you think it's them?

Hostages? I don't know.

Just have a feeling.

They could be hiding them behind the tanks, but... I don't court muster you

for this.

If you live that long, don't worry.

I'm calling your brother, man.

Don't.

They'll just try and stop me.

Give me a ring.

What are you gonna do?

Change the oil?

Can you get into lookout?

I think so.

He's getting up.

Have you seen this?

You dumb son of a... You could have died.

What's this?

It's a court martial.

Goodbye, sir.

That's Jack Benjamin.

You see, the king's done.

ice trucks means fish tonight probably king salmon given the season that

doesn't mean fish then what lamb let's see here's welcome here's give red meat

i do with a nice pistachio crusty fast no chance queen rose hates lamb ever

since she spent her summers on her uncle's sheep farm everyone knows that

do they do they know what color penny she picks for thursdays too

Hey, sir. His name's?

Uh, David Shepard.

Here to see, uh... Oh.

Here to see everyone, sir.

That's in the paper?

No, that's in all the papers, sir.

Uh, you're gonna have to settle a bet for us, sir, on what's being served for

you tonight?

Tonight? You know, how you're back with.

The menu, ma'am. Ah, the menu.

Squab or blenta arrabbiata for the vegetarians. Good, good.

It's perfect, but take off the lamb.

Yes, ma'am. And what about our guest of honor? Who's making sure he's

presentable? We have Jack on that, ma'am.

Put someone on Jack.

Okay.

I can't believe you came out tonight.

I mean, you almost died out there. If I didn't, that calls for more living.

Thomas Higgins.

Oh, my love. Don't be jealous.

Come, we're meeting Shepard. He's coming to court.

I thought that was tomorrow.

It is tomorrow.

Oh.

That used to hang up in my room and kept me up at night.

You saved my life. We can skip all that.

Besides, you're the darling today.

Sorry, sir? I know.

I get taken hostage and almost get killed, and they're throwing you a

party. The mysteries of the palace.

I wish they wouldn't.

I'm not even really sure why I'm here.

Technically, so I'd give you a tour an hour ago.

Sorry.

You're here to get shown off. You're going to take a pretty picture with my

father and then get sent back to wherever you came from.

Thanks for serving your country.

Is that what you're wearing tonight?

I'll have something of mine sent over.

I think you're taller than me.

I'll send the tailor with it.

There's a tailor here? My father likes suits.

Gaff, now's the time to make a push forward.

Take the valley. You've been saying that for three years.

Last presented.

Perry. Sorry. June 10th this year.

Unapproved by you, sir. We don't attack. We respond.

Instigation is Gath's game. Which is why they're winning.

This war has been a cancer on our economy.

If your valley can get us out...

I support it. We can't extend the border now for the same reason we couldn't in

June. We're outgunned and lack public support.

Polling shows public opinion in favor of aggressive measures since the

kidnapping.

Negatives. Could draw an offensive.

World Press would have a field day. Reverend won't like it.

Reverend doesn't like anything.

Still thinks I owe him because he swore me in.

They've blasted us from those hills for years.

There's never been a better time to make them stop.

They're demoralized.

And our troops are chomping at the bit.

They all want to take out a tank now.

Good.

Let them.

Let them.

Push back enough to let Gaff know we're done taking punches.

It's time to do something.

Please. Say that clears the agenda.

There are petitions, sir. We have four.

Court calls Miss Michelle Benjamin. Petition on health care.

I think we'll only have time for one.

Sir, you've heard proposals to advance public health care before. Most from

you.

Noah Tanner.

Six years old and needs a new heart.

Given the current option, patients like Noah are left to treatments older than

his parents. He needs a new heart as badly as we need reform.

I've outlined a plan.

I recall my own daughter treated for childhood illnesses very well by the

exact level of care offered to each of our citizens were deemed lacking by you.

Your daughter had advantages many don't.

She had parents of privilege to watch over her day and night. As they do now.

When they tell her to move on from an obvious impasse.

Sorry, puppy.

This push on Gat. Make it loud.

Time to end this damn war.

Right down.

He governed patiently and well.

Then ran home for a shower.

I spend more time on cufflinks than I do on tax reforms.

Why aren't you ready?

My darn cell phone.

I had it with me on my trip yesterday, and I last saw it with my socks.

Your daughter is livid, by the way.

She spent months on that tax thing.

Health care. Why with your socks?

So it wouldn't get banged up.

It's my fault.

I should never have trusted anything that important but that new secretary.

Why is it that pretty people are always so bad with details?

King of all I survey.

And I still can't find an office chair that doesn't give my back spasms. You're

an old soldier.

Don't complain.

Your pills are on the counter.

I don't like pills. I'd rather have wine. Wine makes your eyes droop and you

have to look nice for the pictures.

really your first time in the capital i missed the eighth grade class trip mano

do you have any family here tonight is your dad proud of you uh my dad died

fighting in the unification war what about your mother is she here my mother

never really approved of me joining the army why is that uh you might have heard

about my father ladies and gentlemen

Start on the left and work our way along.

Stand loud as well, brother.

Have fun.

I'd like a large glass of something really expensive.

Thank you.

We

celebrate

bravery tonight.

Tonight, I'm as sure of our cause as I was the day we founded our great nation.

And a bad idea was all we had.

Reverend Samuels, it means so much to have you here. Can you get a drink in

before you start asking me for things? Would you, Marcus? We had little more

than hope and a bad idea. Two key ingredients for global change.

And that's when they came.

Like a...

A shadow overhead.

I looked up and saw a great swarm of butterflies circling above my head like

leaves in a storm.

Soft and landing like a crown, a living crown on my head.

God's signal to begin.

Still looking butterflies. Doesn't he ever get tired of that one?

He'll tell it as long as they want to hear it.

And so will you someday.

If it's good enough for the hero, it's more than enough for an old preacher.

The Lord's world is great.

Very, very small.

But a hero can fix anything.

I don't know if I count as a hero.

What is this?

A man hiding at the bar is a man who doesn't want to be at the party.

I guess I'm just more used to the front.

Take a good look around you.

You... Come on.

I had a banquet in your name.

You're drinking a single malt the likes of which God himself only takes out of

the cabinet but once a year.

You have your choice of ladies all very interested in your attention.

You're like the one in Red.

Now your nights will not always be this easy.

So... Enjoy.

Let's watch out for the cameras.

You're not supposed to be playing that.

That piano was a gift to my father from the Prime Minister of Austeria.

This piano is a Broadwood Grand.

1848.

The same year Lith wrote this.

The closest I've ever come to one is a picture on the internet.

You can call security, but I'm finishing first.

I thought you were a mechanic.

I wouldn't have pegged you for a musician.

I wouldn't have pegged you for a snitch.

Well, they're all looking for you.

Sir, this is Mr. and Mrs. Acharin.

Excuse me.

You know him.

A kid.

I'm not sure if I know anybody anymore.

Speaking riddles, Reverend, you're liable never to get your point across.

So you're going to pretend that I don't know?

About Gath?

I spoke my piece clearly.

The offensive can put an end to this war. If you're against it, tell it to

your flock. I don't need your permission to defend my country.

Yes, sir.

Plainly doesn't come with service, quit it.

I owe you a lot more than I can say.

You don't have children, do you?

I'm an uncle.

Then you don't know.

You saved my son's life. That means I owe you mine.

Just tell me what you want and it's yours.

They already offered me a reward that's way more than I can spend.

You're a young man. Smart.

You must have some goals.

I'm a man with position offering you a thank you.

Even if you ask for half my kingdom, as the saying goes.

Well, speak up.

Are you liable to get a car you can't afford the insurance on?

You have no idea how to dance, do you?

Not even a little bit.

You know, this really seemed like a good idea a minute ago.

There are a lot of people watching you right now. You know that.

Now, yes.

Very, very clear.

Um, I'm sorry about before I took my band-aid out on you.

It's definitely hard work, huh?

Health reform, actually.

I showed them a way to help people and got told it was inconvenient.

Trying to get a six-year-old a new heart.

What?

Happiness suits her, Abner.

Who knew?

Him?

Yes, sir. I'll not forget what he said and when he said it.

Yes, sir.

Don't make a show of him.

And the wife?

No, no, no.

He'll be trouble you watch. I know the type.

The only way to deal with him is a bullet.

Please. He's an infant.

He's got everyone eating out of his hand.

Cameras are wearing themselves out.

No one's talking about the war.

This court needs a new face to look up to.

No.

We can use him.

Something's here for us.

Good kid, that David.

Perfect timing. Medium scrambled.

On a whole wheat toast.

No butter. On pain of death.

A rare full house. Eat.

No sign of it, ma'am.

They checked the cart.

And the luggage.

The service is asking for an account of the information on there. The Queen's

cell phone. It's got the email, birthdays, and bad spelling of every

person comprising society in this country.

I think they're more concerned with national security. You know I don't like

getting involved with politics.

So come, let's keep looking.

Before they call in the National Guard.

It's got to be somewhere.

Did Mom lose her mind and find how Messina depicts everything, or was it

the other way? Sort of a chicken-egg question.

The chicken or the egg, I was told to come. Chicken?

Egg? Are we still using that expression?

Given the overwhelming evidence in favor of evolutionary theory, I need to make a

royal official declaration. The answer is roundly an egg.

Not negating God, in whom I trust more than that damn Reverend Lemonot. Just

recognizing that change occurs.

Thanks, said God.

And that the egg would have to have been the natural improvement on whatever near

-chicken mother hatched it and discovered that her young was

delightfully different from herself.

Evolution is just one of God's many tools, like me.

The only real and lingering question being, how'd you like them first-come

eggs?

Is there something you'd like me to do?

I'd like you to sit and eat.

My father insists on making breakfast. It makes him feel like his kids are

still five.

When you were small.

And manageable.

And I preferred it that way.

I can't stay long. I have to report back to base this morning. No, you're not.

You're not going back to the front.

You've been transferred to Shiloh.

Military liaison to the press office. The press likes you.

Captain Shepard.

Mm-hmm.

Captain, you're an officer now.

Hell of a time to lose your powers of speech.

You're going on air in an hour. Is there a problem?

I'm not sure I can answer that without insulting my king.

Your king hears insults with alarming regularity.

I just... Don't think I'm cut out for the city, sir. Walter, next time you

hear Captain Shepard call me, sir, I want you to take out your sidearm and

shoot him.

What, uh... What if he got against our city?

Well, I'd probably have an apartment the size of my dog's shed at home.

And no one talks about the war here.

My company's fighting just a few hours from here, and...

It's as if nothing's happening except on TV.

Plus, the city sort of smells like trash.

I'm not going to tell you what to do.

But you could do good here.

Hope lies in bravery.

And we need hope.

Give us a shot.

Yes, sir.

I can't believe I've been in this many cars in three days.

I could have sworn that I gave it to you. I'm so sorry, ma'am. I don't know

where it went.

A cell phone full of state secrets and private lines. Let's hope not far.

I'll go tear up my bedroom again.

No luck?

Oh, it's my fault.

Oh, I blame the grief.

You really had me worried, Jack.

You promised me you'd never die.

I kept my promise. See?

Look, how long have we never suffered that one?

Oh, he's harmless.

He's a cocker spaniel. That cocker spaniel just got the best post in the

military.

Yeah.

I was the one taken hostage.

That should have been my job.

Instead, I'm being brought in for questioning. More discipline.

Don't do yourself any favors with your nightlife. They're saying things about

the kidnapping, that it was my fault the squad was ambushed, that I was impulsive

and went in without a support team. Did you? Of course not.

I called for overwatch as soon as I got the order.

Those woods were crawling. We had support.

At least when we went in and then the shooting started and we were alone.

I love men.

We have support.

Please, talk to him.

They could bring me up on charges.

Yes.

You know I don't like to get involved with politics.

But if I were to suggest something, I'd say let them.

Let them court-martial me? Why not?

Truth out as slowly as remembered longest.

But that through their meeting, they'll see what's what soon enough, and then

they'll have to cover you with so many medals and apologies that you'll be

stuffed from all the banquets in your high honor.

Be patient, Jack.

It'll all come out the wash.

Probably along with my damn cell phone. And sadly, he suffered a coronary while

jogging near his home.

Minister of Energy Fox was a 15-year servant of our government and a patriot.

King Silas will be visiting with his family after the funeral. Listen, Mom, I

don't think I'm going to make it back home this weekend like I thought. I

thought you had some leaves coming.

Did you get in trouble?

Sort of.

Turn on the TV.

We also have some news from the front.

Ladies and gentlemen, you know we can't tell you too much, but here to tell you

what we can.

We have our new military liaison.

Some of you may know of him already.

Let me introduce Captain David Shepard.

What's going on with you?

Mom, I gotta go. I gotta go.

Is anyone else really sick of that picture?

Can we, uh, turn that off?

Thanks.

Cool.

Does this mean no more action for you? You'll be staying here in Shiloh?

Uh, look, I only had, uh, like ten minutes of briefing this morning, but

I'm pretty sure they just want me to read what's on the prompter, so how

about I just say yes and we get straight to it, okay?

An offensive was issued two hours ago by King Silas.

At present, we have troops advancing across the neutral zone into Gath

territory.

We have reports that Gath has retreated its army units. Is this in response to

the kidnapping?

I think it's in response to everyone wanting this damn war over already.

This is embarrassing.

We could pull it. No, no, no.

He's perfect.

Watch. What about Jack Benjamin's involvement with the ambush of the

127th? As far as I know, Captain, Benjamin's involvement was as a victim.

Is it true there's an early inquiry into his negligence?

I have no official information on that, but from personal knowledge, I can state

that that's a load of bullshit put out by people trying to cash in on tragedy.

Men died in that ambush.

Try and show some respect.

Next question.

Okay, thank you, Captain.

I don't have too much time around soldiers.

Any last comments? No?

Actually, yeah, one last thing.

I have a report that there's progress on a promising new health care petition to

expand coverage, which I guess will benefit

everyone. Thank you for that update.

Lion Colors, how are you feeling?

I thought I was going to vomit the whole time.

Lucky you didn't come sir. There's a call for you How

you

holding up captain I've been trying to get out ever since I got

here

Princess, nobody's shooting at you.

I just thought I should be out there with you guys.

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm kidding.

You need to be scooping this up with both hands, okay?

You're living the good life.

Come on, David.

You deserve it.

We're looking at preparation for full-scale invasion.

We have to attack first.

They're coming for us. They haven't fired.

It could be a retreat. We were told to expect an official message from them any

minute. Recalling all your planes from our airspace is a message.

We're going to push you into the sea.

Your brother's fine.

You'll call him later.

Message from the Premier of Gath, sir.

Son of a bitch.

The peace treaty they're offering is the truth.

I, um...

Oh, yeah, thank you for the free publicity. I just thought I'd drop off a

note.

So you hoped I wouldn't be home?

You know, this treaty is half your doing. You really should be out

celebrating.

You haven't seen... Well, turn on your TV.

Oh, you don't have a TV. What do you think all that noise is outside?

I just thought that was the city.

All right, come on.

Come on, you're going.

Here.

Wow.

I'm going to follow him.

Do you remember the inauguration of Shiloh, when we moved to the Capitol,

the celebration?

Of course.

I watched it with my family.

Well, we were on our way to it all, driving, and my dad sees this truck, and

he stops the entire cavalcade. He just can't get over it. This ice cream truck

here, where there was nothing before someone dreamt it, just ashes, ruins.

He hugged me to hide that he was crying. Nobody else saw, but... I think it

wasn't real to him until that moment.

I was freezing out, and he bought us all rocket bombs.

Now I realize that the human will can take ashes and turn it into ice cream.

The city is about progress. This is what we've been fighting for this entire

time.

in the streets and you're here draining my wine cellar.

Isn't it great?

Peace in our lifetimes. All thanks to the Cocker Spaniel. Good news for all of

us. Especially for me.

You transferred me.

Moved me to an intelligence desk in the Capitol for a motion to major.

And you heard. Congratulations, Jack. You took me off active duty. That is a

demotion.

An admission of guilt counts as an honor. That Jack couldn't really handle

the war.

Nearly got himself killed. Let's move him to a desk where it's safe.

All while you propped him up on a stage.

Come then, there's enough fair hair to go around.

You really mean to do this now?

If I'm going to be king telling the butterfly story, I need to be a war hero

in command of my company.

I can't do that from the sideline.

You believe what they're saying? That ambush wasn't my fault. I know that.

Then what?

I fought for you, commanded. I have the respect of everyone in our army except

the one who owes it to me most.

Is it my reputation to be the party prince? Is that it?

None of that matters.

It's not who I am. Oh, if only it was.

What would I give for a playboy who couldn't poop it in his pants and who

runs through women?

But what I have is a son who shows no interest in him.

Oh, you thought I didn't know?

I've been keeping pictures of our family out of the three pressing years.

What you do at night with your boys after your show of skirt chasing

is great.

If you're my second son, I wouldn't care.

But for a king, it's not possible.

Not possible.

We give up what we want when we want power.

Believe me.

You want to show me you have the heart to be king. Show me you can control it.

Rest it to the ground, numb it with ice.

But you cannot be what God made you. Not if you mean to take my place.

Celebrate, Jack.

What you could have.

Read it back.

And it happened that Silas King forged an accord of peace with Gath.

The dancing in the streets could be felt even up unto the king's chambers,

shaking his pen as he signed his name.

Nice turn, Perry.

We made legend today.

Thank you, sir.

William, who comes to the king uncalled, why aren't you out on a parade float

somewhere? No sign of it letting up either.

Even Michelle is out having fun for once.

It was a good gamble.

We scared them into peace. We can build again.

I was thinking this truce might not be the best thing for the country

right now.

I just signed the treaty, which makes a perfect opportunity to invade.

They never see it coming.

We only attack to scare them into peace.

Everything this country needs is wrapped in peace. You heard the parades. The

people want peace.

And they can have it, say, in a year. Then you could end the war.

CrossGen has too much invested in the military right now.

This war needs to continue. Now, this isn't some government contract building

a bridge or a pipeline or a helmet.

People will die.

You can see that building.

Of course you can. I made sure this room faced it.

You may have built this country, but I paid for it. I handed you your crown.

Oh, I've repaid that debt many times.

Don't forget all you sacrificed to get where you are right now.

Gave up that whore you loved.

Made me your brother all so you could have my money at your back.

You knew the cost.

And if I refuse one call, all it takes to pull our gold from your treasury,

everything you built will collapse.

By lunch, those parades will be riots and your banks will be on fire.

You'll have more death on your head than would come from any war.

One more year.

Silent. Then sign whatever you want. Find a way.

And how do I live with myself?

Same as you always have.

Thomasina.

You never sleep either.

The family needs 24-hour care.

You're right, sir.

Quarterly reports of the death of innovation.

You ready me a car?

How was that?

Long night?

Sit. I made soup.

What kind?

The kind you like.

Your back's bothering you again?

I'll get your pillow.

Why do I ever leave?

I'm happy when I'm here.

Sad when I'm gone.

Sadness can be useful, too.

We'll have to take extreme measures to compensate.

Take them head on, hit their capital.

We should prepare for heavy losses.

Press conference. In two hours, at the front, you'll announce this.

Abner, I'll need the Reverend to give the benediction after.

Re-engaged.

We're invading, but we have peace.

You don't want this.

If you invade, there'll be no end. There has to be some way you can rescue this.

One tank and he thinks he can fashion history. There's a lot of generals there

who think differently.

He can't tell you how to move people.

You can do that. Talk to Gath face to face. Call out to the premier directly.

You have to try. Do not presume to tell us what to do. We are king and we do

what seems right in mine eye.

Say otherwise again and we will snap your neck right now.

And next time you touch my daughter, don't do it on camera.

There'd have been a much different picture in the paper this morning if it

didn't come to me first.

Captain Shepard.

You and I.

We've had our differences.

But on the people we agree, they're going to need you.

I want you to get in the air.

Lead them in a national prayer. Declare a fast.

Band them together like the old days. No.

I won't do that.

You're refusing your king. You are not my king.

Not anymore. Not after what you have done.

Or do you still want to pretend that I don't know?

A kidnap.

Both soldiers. The ambush had ended 12 lives.

That was you.

You recalled their air support.

You allowed an assault on their own soldiers.

You sacrificed your own son.

Jack was never supposed to be anywhere near there. We are all your children,

Silas.

I had to do something.

We needed a strike. I couldn't get the people behind it. I only wanted a chance

at peace.

You couldn't take that either.

I bring a message.

Since you have cast aside the word of the Lord, he has cast you aside as king.

He grants you no more favors. He protects what you love no longer.

God wishes a man after his own heart. You have none.

He will find another.

If that's what he says, then to hell with God. You are just a man now, Simon.

Try to live like one for as long as you can.

Where's Eli?

There he is.

That was a big city.

Hey, tell me something.

Um, how did you know those tanks were gonna shoot?

Come on, don't make me die before I know.

They're tank teams.

I'd use the exhaust techs to heat up their field rations.

They drop the entrees in when they're idling.

You can hear them gun the engines to blow the packs out.

They always do it before they shout. So they can have a hot meal in peace before

we get our heads in the sand.

It's going to get worse.

I don't know what to do.

Oh, no, you'll figure something out.

You always got to fix some things.

There's so much bigger than me there.

Bigger than you?

You're the kid in front of the tank.

You're a hero.

up to them. When they took that picture, I wasn't standing up.

I was surrounded.

They had me.

So I surrendered.

I dropped my gun.

My grenade went out.

I got a lucky shot and it wasn't even lucky. It was stupid.

I surrendered.

You'd better see this.

that just left it.

The blood of my brother.

So take it.

Take his blood and call it enough.

If you need more, take mine.

Do it.

I surrender.

Shoot me and call that enough.

Or can one of you come down here and show me your face?

Show me that you're more than tank, metal, and shell.

That you're human like we are, that you breathe, that you bleed, that you feel

and feel pity.

That you live for more than our deaths.

Come. Any of you who have lost a brother, come and tell me it's enough.

Lost his mind.

Get a gun on him. Yes, sir.

Looked into our hearts and found a new opportunity for peaceful dialogue and

truth.

I personally sent Captain Shepard, our bravest soldier, to extend the offer of

mutual surrender to Gath.

Where's David Shepard now?

Captain Shepard is suffering his own loss today.

I hope you will extend to him the privacy he and his family deserve.

Opportunity for peaceful dialogue.

What are you going to do about this?

I'm going to hold peace talks with the Gath leadership at the vineyard.

Shepard's stunt was too grand a gesture. My hands are tied.

You planned it, the whole thing, didn't you?

Fed your words to that upstart and sent him out there. Me?

I'd kill him myself if I could.

I hope you're happy.

Silence!

You just traded one war for another.

At which the king's brother-in-law came and congratulated him on the truce.

Nice to have my own country back, Adam.

Yeah.

Call the treasury. Pull the gold.

We'll see how long they cheer for him when they're starving.

Then we handle Shepard.

Royal Guard.

Palace Finest.

Are you arresting me?

More like delivering an invitation and a small housewarming gift. Took the

liberty of installing it for you.

Eugenia, I suppose, sir.

And we'll be receiving the peace negotiators from Gath here at the

vineyard. It's my proud task to make them all comfortable during these

historic talks.

We found it, ma'am.

Your cell phone. Lord bless, I lost it days ago.

National security disaster.

Where was it?

Oh, please just tell me, for goodness sakes. I have no secrets from the press.

Jack Carmy.

A maid found it in the back seat.

It was with this.

But then I did give it to you.

Unless this belongs to someone else.

Oh, Jack.

There's more good secretaries that way.

Is that off the record?

Oh, well, go ahead. I owe you one. But please just promise to make him look

great, Gish.

I'll do my best.

Silas and his time has passed.

Being king is a young man's game and he's grown old.

This is the time for bold action.

And for action.

We need to know we have a replacement at the ready.

There are no words.

Your brother was by all accounts the kind of man this country was built on.

You're free to leave the city. I won't even try to make you stay.

The piano's yours regardless.

They really need me back home.

But I was thinking I might stay.

It feels like the braver thing.

That's what Eli would have done.

She likes him.

You like him, too.

Happiness really suits her.

Yes.

Oh, it's embarrassing.

I am still a bit in awe of you after all these years.

All you've accomplished.

Still accomplishing.

I'll let you work

Be
