Original subtitles

What we got?

Three rifles.

We should go take cover with Sammy.

Copy.

You got eyes on ‘em?

No, I can't see anything.

They're just beyond that tree line.

They’re waiting for us to come in.

Well, we can't shoot what we can't see.

You gotta scout it.

I'm always scout.

You're the smallest target.

I don't want to be the target at all.

Hey.

We'll cover you.

Get going.

Shit.

Contact.

I’m hit. I'm hit. I’m hit. I'm hit.

Got left.

Combat drag.

Where you hit?

Left arm, but I can still use my pistol.

Did you get any of ‘em?

We were getting you.

Thought you had me covered.

What’s the SITREP? We heard gunfire.

Sammy got tagged and there’s a group of them in the tree line

Hey, what about our six?

Russ already took care of ‘em.

Headshots too. Looked painful.

Good.

Then, they're all that’s left.

Let’s flank these guys.

John, you go left.

Lay down suppressing fire.

Daniel, Russ, you're with me.

We’ll hard push from the right.

I got point. Russ, you follow.

Got it.

I'll cover you.

Yeah, you better.

Let's go.

Drop off.

Out. Oww, oww.

Tango down.

Break out.

Reloading.

Reloading.

Grenade.

- I’m out. - Hit.

Game over.

Tyler, you good?

I'm good.

Hell yeah.

Hey, good game.

Good game.

- Good game. - Good game.

Game over.

All right, first things first.

We're gonna work on our stance.

We’re on what? Railroad tracks, right?

Feet forward, shoulder width apart.

Let's pretend we got our rig up. We’re bending at the knees.

We wanna square our plates.

This is what protects us. We're wearing that armor,

so you don’t wanna blade and present that smaller target.

You want a square right up.

So if they shoot you center mass it's gonna hit your plate.

You don't want it to slip in on the side.

What you don't want is your sight picture to do this, right?

It’s heel toe, heel toe, heel toe.

Target left. Target right. Right?

Just like that.

Show me.

Let’s get down in that nice crouch, aggressive stance.

Walk it forward. Heel toe, heel toe, heel toe.

Good. Good. Good.

Left. Target left. Good.

To the right 45.

Back on center.

You're gonna throw that rifle behind us.

We're gonna to switch to our secondary.

We're pulling up. We're compressing here at the chest.

Okay?

We're pushing out to target.

Bang, bang, bang.

Targets down. We compress.

We scan for other targets.

Everything's clear.

We're gonna watch that all the way back into the holster.

Threat's gone.

There's no need to not look at it.

Go safely back into your holster.

So you take out that tango, you save your buddy,

and then you pop that corner to get that, right?

Right foot out. Bam! Good.

We gotta imagine that's a wall we can't see behind, all right?

It's like little pieces of pie. Right?

So we're taking it. We're up here.

We’re slicing the pie. Right?

So when you switch, you get that whole room,

tuck yourself away, and then you're going to take that.

Good.

Good.

Nice.

Let's get these boys some weapons.

Get that weapon up. Keep it up. Keep it up.

Keep coming. Watch your corner.

Coming left. Bang, bang. Bang, bang.

Good.

Bang. Save your buddy.

A little higher, you wanna see down that sight.

Beautiful. Flow through.

Good.

Drop that elbow. Watch that chicken wing.

Slow.

Good, good with that elbow.

We're gonna engage in one, two, three, four.

Now pop this corner. Bing, bing. Bang, bang.

We flow through.

Bang, bang.

Right side.

Good.

Straight ahead. Bang, bang.

Pop that corner. Bang.

Nice work.

Hey, dad.

How’d the OP go?

It went great.

Tyler and I executed a textbook pincer move for the win.

Double envelopment, huh?

I approve.

Yes, sir.

Any casualties?

Well, Sammy got shot in the arm, but he was scout.

Not a flawless victory, then.

Yeah, but Sammy sucks.

Well,

a good commander should always strive to minimize loss, yeah?

General Patton said,

“You don't win wars by dying for your country.”

“You win wars by making the other guy die for his.”

All right, so you do listen sometimes.

I always listen to you.

You weren't listening this morning when I asked you to

take care of your chores before you left.

I did my chores.

No, no, you didn't clear the brush from the north pasture.

- You didn’t ask me to do that. - Yeah, I did.

No, you didn’t you asked me to--

Don't talk back.

Yes, sir.

All right. Look, your ma’s inside making dinner.

I want you to clear that brush before we eat.

- Yes, sir. - All right.

Some cookies for dessert?

You can't take all of ‘em, kiddo.

Where are these from?

The scout girls were selling ‘em.

You tell ‘em I don’t want people soliciting here?

- Even if it's cookies? - Even if it's cookies.

I got ‘em in town, Lee.

The girls were out in front of the grocery store.

They shouldn't let them do that.

That’s how you get panhandlers.

Isn't that shit illegal?

Language.

Well, it’s begging in my opinion.

Don't look at me like that.

I just like cookies.

I can throw them out if you like.

Cookies can stay.

Hey, can we go shooting tomorrow for my birthday?

Good lord. Chew boy.

Sorry.

Can we go shooting tomorrow for my birthday?

Don’t you have school tomorrow?

No.

Yes.

Oh, come on, let me skip tomorrow.

It's my birthday.

Sorry, bub.

Can we go shooting this weekend, then?

Well, militia drill's this weekend.

I gotta meet with Nathan.

I got a bunch of rifles that need repairing

and sighting in before then, so...

So you get to go shooting.

Not for fun.

Well, then just take me with you to militia.

I can shoot better than half those guys.

That's probably true.

Look, I love the fact that you wanna join, and

if it were up to me, I'd let you but it's not up to me.

And last I checked you’re turning 17, not 18.

So can't come.

Meantime,

be a good boy.

Clean up for your ma before bed, all right?

Yes, sir.

Hey, going to bed.

Good night.

- Goodnight, kid. - Night.

- Love you. - Love you too.

Time's up.

What is this?

What?

Number 12 is a stick figure shrugging.

He didn’t know the answer.

Clearly. Okay.

I will finish grading this later.

Let's move on to history. Grab your notes, I hope you took,

and tell me about the Battle of Shiloh.

The Battle of Shiloh was fought April sixth and seventh in 1862.

Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee.

The Confederate forces attacked the Union forces

to stop their approach into Mississippi, but failed.

And who were the commanding officers?

Albert Sidney Johnston and P.T. Beauregard for the Confederacy,

and Ulysses S. Grant and Buell for the Union.

What armies were involved?

The Army of Mississippi's 1st 2nd, and 3rd Corps and Reserve,

the Army of Tennessee's 1st through 6th divisions,

and four divisions of the Army of Ohio.

That's 63,000 troops for the Union

and 40,000 for the Confederates,

and the Confederates still almost won.

Why didn't the Confederates win?

Cause they didn't push the attack

when they had the Union forces in retreat.

They waited till morning to do so, but, by then,

Buell had already called for reinforcements.

So what's the lesson here?

Finish off your enemy when you get the chance.

Very good.

If you paid attention to your agriculture

as well as your history,

you wouldn't be drawing stickmen.

Yeah, but agriculture is boring.

Agriculture is what feeds your little body

and you are eventually gonna be taking over the family farm.

Hey there.

Did you forget something?

Nope.

So what am I interrupting?

Battle of Shiloh.

General Johnston's on the retreat.

Oh, exciting.

But you're gonna have to put a cork in it

if we're going shooting.

Really?

It's your birthday.

Oh, hell yeah.

Okay, back in time for dinner.

Okay? I’m making that chicken you like.

Yes, ma'am.

So what do you wanna shoot today?

Well, I was thinking about

what you said about wanting to join the militia.

I can join early.

No. No, but if you're gonna be joining next year,

seems like it might be a good time for you to own your own gun.

Maybe get in some practice, some responsibility beforehand.

I can get anything I want?

Well, any pistol you like, yeah, it's yours.

1911.

That was fast.

You sure?

Positive.

I approve.

Tell the man.

Want this one.

You sure you know how to handle that thing?

Yeah.

Reload.

Send it.

Nice.

Mozambique.

Finish it.

That’s good. That's good.

Well done.

Good shooting.

Come on, wrap it up.

All right.

- There you go. - Hey, thanks.

It's a good day, man.

I appreciate you. Thanks for everything.

- Yeah. See you Saturday? - Yeah, see you at drill.

All right.

You know you’re gonna have to clean this thing

when you get home, right?

I know.

It doesn't go anywhere except to the range or somewhere with me.

I know.

If your friends want to play with it,

you tell them it's not a toy.

Dad, I know.

Okay? You've been telling me this stuff since I could walk.

I promise I'll be responsible.

Or?

- Or there'll be hell to pay. - Mm.

See, I listen.

Pull over.

There you go, ten and two.

License and registration please.

Stopping you ‘cause your plates are out of date.

You wanna tell me where you’re coming from today?

No, we do not.

What's your name, sir?

I don't have to divulge that information.

I'm gonna need to see your license as well, in that case.

State law mandates that only the driver of the vehicle

is required to surrender the documented information.

You know this man?

He’s not forcing you to go somewhere, is he?

Look, you need to talk to someone,

you talk to me.

It was my understanding that Stanley Dietrich

was in charge in this county.

Why don't you get out of the truck?

Come talk to me at the rear.

No, thank you.

Well, I'm sure you'll know that state law mandates

that when I see firearms in the rear of a vehicle,

I have probable cause to perform a vehicle search for contraband.

Stay here.

You can hold on to this.

Put your hands up where I can see ‘em.

You wanna show me what's under this tarp besides these rifles?

Look for yourself.

Gonna be like that, huh?

Whoa.

You got paperwork for all these?

You're not gonna talk to me?

Listen, you can speak up

or I'll take you and the boy,

put you in holding while I check these guns for registration.

Son, step out of the truck.

Stay right there.

That boy ends up in cuffs,

we're gonna have a real problem.

Fine, run ‘em all.

Boy stays here.

Fine.

Step over this way. Show me your hands.

Come with me.

Dad!

Go home, Daniel.

We need to have a talk.

Half those rifles are automatic.

I guess you knew that.

Thing is, you don't have a class three license for them,

but, seeing as how we live where we live,

you aren't the only person to be breaking that specific law.

Besides, you're a prominent member of the local militia.

Isn’t that right?

Maybe half those guns aren't yours.

Maybe they are.

The real problem I have

is with this.

What are you doing with this, Mr. Pierce?

This does not look good.

You got a bunch of unregistered weapons

and a book with detailed notes about the sheriff's department.

Radio frequencies,

code index,

frequent routes, down to the minute, sometimes.

You know, I'd be impressed

if it weren't a little unsettling.

Is it illegal to write down where a particular vehicle goes?

I don't think you're taking notes

for the neighborhood watch.

You're tracking us

and, in my experience,

tracking’s just a nice word for hunting.

Now, you better give me a good reason for what you're doing,

because, let me tell you, this is gonna cause you

a world of trouble.

You know, the militia and the police,

we're on the same team.

Are we?

You care to explain?

No.

Okay, then.

Wait here, please.

You’re due to appear at the county courtroom

two weeks from today

for your arraignment and subsequent court dates.

It gives you time to sit down and talk to me about what happened today.

All right, you're free to go.

Mr. Pierce.

You're looking at ten grand in fines

and possibly some real jail time.

I'm talking two years alone just for the firearms.

Please...

reconsider your stance on whether or not we're on the same side.

Come on.

- What are we gonna do, Lee? - I'm thinking.

Expired plates.

God damn it!

It's all law enforcement’s good for.

You know, these sons of bitches take an oath to the Constitution

defend and uphold it

and they don't give a shit about folks’ God-given rights.

Same team, my ass.

Will they actually give you jail time?

You can't go to jail.

How can I help?

- I gotta talk to Nathan. - Right now?

I don't trust saying it over the phone.

Sorry, no ice.

Hey, be a darling and wait with Kathleen, will you?

Okay.

You picked about the worst possible time to have a run-in with the law.

Look, I knew I had all those guns in the bed,

but I figured it’s one trip.

You know, it’s Daniel's birthday.

It'll be fine.

That’s the kind of thinking that’ll get you gored by the bull.

Boy, you got got.

When did the Carson County sheriff start stopping people

for expired plates?

Huh?

And who's this shithead Webb?

Stanley retired and this

Webb just got elected.

He’s the new law, busting asses and

being real goody two-shoes about it.

Afraid the days of old Dietrich looking the other way are over.

Look, I don't know where to start. I mean--

You could start with getting my guns back, Lee.

I'll be damned if the government gonna steal my property

from you over some registration bullshit.

Well, they're in lockup now.

We'll see about that.

I'm more worried about the court.

He threatened me with jail time.

Bullshit. You ain't doing jail time.

Webb might be hot and bothered, but the judge ain't new.

He’ll slap you with a fine. You'll be on your merry way.

And if I'm not?

He found my black book.

- No, he didn't. - Yeah, he did.

What the hell, Lee?

Hey, look, I wasn't planning on getting my truck searched.

You sure did a fine job of getting tagged.

Over expired plates!

It’s not like I was out there robbing the general store.

Could have just as easily been you, man.

No, it couldn't, because it wasn't, was it?

All right.

You’re right. I'll own it. Fine.

Either way, it's not just me who's got a problem now.

They put that book on show,

I go to trial,

then what?

Nathan,

they swear me in on that Bible,

I'm beholden to God at that point.

When they asked me who those guns belong to

I'm going to have to tell him your name.

Forrest’s name, Jackson's name.

Then old Sheriff Webb’ll have everything he needs

to come down here, bother you again,

take everything else you got.

And our lives will be shit sideways.

I can't have that.

Much less go to jail.

We'll talk to the boys.

Your honor,

defendant's here and I'm ready to proceed.

Proceed, then.

By way of the Constitution of the United States of America,

we come before you today well within our rights.

Please remain seated. We mean you no harm.

What the hell’s going on here?

Hey, hey!

Lee Pierce

stands falsely accused of crime

by the government who sits before you.

They mean to make an example out of him

in order to scare us into submission.

We stand here today to say that we will not be scared,

bullied, or forced into giving up our rights.

So judge, you will not be sentencing Lee Pierce

today or any other day.

If you're so sure

of Mr. Pierce's innocence,

let him stand before the state in a fair trial.

Your system is not a fair one and until it is,

you will not see the likes of any of us within it.

You don't get to decide which law suits you.

That which you cannot enforce is not law.

Try to take our weapons,

see if you live to tell the tale.

Hell yeah.

Any law officer who incites trouble

for the sake of trouble against these good people,

that I protect,

will be shot.

God as my witness,

may that statement stand as my law.

Company fall out.

You have a nice day now.

And you folks as well.

Watch your step.

All right, stand by.

All right, come on.

- Got it. - Thanks.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Do you think the sheriff’s gonna do anything?

Not if he has a lick of sense, he won’t.

Aren’t you breaking the law?

Well, laws are complicated.

Some laws make sense some places

don’t make sense in other places.

Some laws just aren't good laws.

They’re not just.

That make sense?

I guess.

You know there are good people and bad people?

Sure.

Well,

sometimes bad people become

judges,

politicians,

sometimes even cops.

You think the sheriff’s a bad person?

I think he's doing the wrong thing

because some other corrupt person

told him what he was doing was right.

What if the sheriff does come after you?

Do you remember when you were being bullied at church?

Yeah.

What’d I tell you to do?

Stand up to them.

And you did.

Hell, you pushed Russ down the stairs when he made fun of you.

And what happened?

I got in trouble.

Yeah, you got in a little trouble

but the boys stopped bullying you, didn’t they?

Yeah.

That's right.

Would you take back

what you did now?

That's right.

Because it was worth fighting for.

Some things in this life are

worth getting into a little trouble for

in order to stand up for what you believe in.

And, believe me, there are

more bad people than good in this world.

When they get the chance, they’ll take everything from you

What’s the golden rule of survival?

Hunt or be hunted.

Damn straight.

You'll learn soon enough that

you gotta think that way about people,

press, government.

Don’t ever forget that.

Our father,

who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil

for thine is the kingdom

and the power

and the glory

forever and ever.

Amen.

Thanks to everyone for being here today and

have a blessed Sunday.

Good to see you. How are you?

It's a nice sermon today.

I'm gonna hang with the boys for a little bit, if that's okay.

Yeah, it's fine. Just be home for supper, yeah?

- Yes, sir. - All right.

Sorry about that.

Kids are good?

Holy shit, man.

Your dad's going to war with the sheriff's department.

He's just standing up for what he believes in.

That's what war is.

Hey, cool it, guys.

Wait till we're in session.

Just call us in session then.

All right.

I now call to order the 43rd meeting of the Wild Bunch.

Hear, hear!

Man, I wish I'd been at the courthouse

when the militia stormed in.

Man, I wish I'd been in the militia.

- That's the real shit. - Man, it was crazy.

They all busted in, armed to the teeth,

and then surrounded the whole place.

Nathan gave some big speech about justice

and my dad being falsely accused,

but, then, he said that

that which you cannot enforce isn't law.

Like cops can't enforce laws?

No, I think that what he means

is that the cops are overreaching.

That what they're doing to us is beyond their power.

Like they shouldn't be messing with the militia.

Just wait till they have to mess with us.

Right?

I mean, we're faster than half of those guys.

Yeah, ‘cause we’re half the fucking size of those guys, man.

My dad's so fat, he has to be a sniper

because he can barely move.

Man, if we all keep training together,

just imagine the difference we can make

when it's our turn.

Live free or die.

Yeah.

Good, well...

let's go play some airsoft.

Sorry, man.

Can't make it.

Gotta go do some field work.

Yeah, actually, I can't either.

My truck shit the bed this morning, so

I was gonna go work on it with John.

Wanna come, Dan?

Nah.

Think I might go home,

clean my new .45 instead.

Bullshit.

Not bullshit.

I got it for my birthday.

Prove it.

You'll see it next weekend.

Next weekend’s militia shoot day.

Yep.

I'm gonna use it for the comp.

Oh, shit.

Hold up.

You really got your own .45?

Yep.

Damn.

Wish my dad loved me that much.

Maybe he'll love you if you win the shooting contest.

We all know that's not gonna happen.

Yeah, well, it's definitely not gonna be your dumb ass.

Don't be so sure.

Hey, keep dreaming, pal.

But we are gonna take a group photo, so

everybody wear your fatigues and all your TAC gear.

Yes, sir.

All right, I'm out.

I'm gonna see if I can get

John’s sister

to polish my rifle.

Oh.

Oh, Russ.

Russy.

Oh.

I'm actually gonna fucking kill you.

Dad, dad.

Hey, you got a second to help me out with something?

Depends what it is.

I need to wear fatigues to shoot day.

I was wondering if you could go to army surplus tonight.

- What’re the fatigues for? - The boys.

We just thought it'd be cool to, you know, all be in one uniform,

look like a squad, you know?

Follow me.

Hopefully, the mice ain’t got to it.

Cool, my old scooter.

I remember that.

How ‘bout these?

My old ACUs work for you?

Actually, I need OCPs, but, no, this is still great.

All right.

Is this all your stuff from the army?

Yeah.

How come you never talk about any of that?

Well,

not much to talk about.

Needed money,

did four years, decided to move on.

Thought these were in here.

Cool.

Can I wear these?

You wanna wear my dog tags?

Yeah.

Kind of defeats the point, but do what you like.

I just think it's cool that they’re yours.

All this stuff, dad, this is great.

Well, put it to good use.

- Yes, sir. - All right.

Oh, boy.

Can I show the field manuals to the guys?

Yeah, do what you like, but just don't kill each other

putting each other into chokeholds

or something, all right?

No, sir.

You ready for tomorrow's competition?

Yes, sir.

Gonna make Tyler look like a fool.

That's my boy.

All right, look, I got to get back to it.

Just, put all this stuff away, lock it up when you're done.

Yes, sir.

All right, attaboy.

All right, all right.

Now we're gonna move on to the under 18 junior competition.

So all you aspiring young militia members

go line up over at range two.

Hey, good luck boys.

- You're gonna need it. - Yeah.

Yep, good luck.

You’re going down, Ty.

Actually, I will be taking that trophy, but thank you,

Russ.

Fuck off. Daniel.

What if I win?

Sammy, if you win,

I'll shoot myself.

Maybe I'll just have to shoot you first.

I don't know. How about I just shoot all of you so I win?

Yeah, you'll run out of ammo before you hit any of us.

You die first.

- Five bullets down. - Okay, Russ. You die first.

- You little fucker. - All right, guys.

Save it for the range.

Jesus Christ.

Hey,

it's you or me.

All right, listen up.

You will each have ten shots on the ten yard target,

ten shots on the 25 yard target,

four shots on the target tree,

and one shot on the 50 yard ace of diamonds.

Most points in the least amount of time wins.

Load and make ready, gentlemen.

Shooters ready.

Shooters standby.

All right.

Totals are in,

and the winner is

Daniel Pierce.

Hey, nice shot.

- Thanks, dad. - Good job.

- Nice shooting, Tyler. - Thanks.

Oh my God.

Sammy beat John.

No fucking way.

John, you suck.

God fucking damn it.

Yo, let’s go, dude.

Fuck you.

Good shit, Sammy.

- Hey, way to go, man. - I've been practicing.

No. No fucking way, dude. This is fucking bullshit.

Hey, hey, there's always next year, man.

God damn it!

Fuck! God damn it!

Oh my God.

Somebody take John's gun before he kills somebody.

So I guess this makes Daniel commander.

Yeah, but

we all know who's really in charge, though.

Yeah.

Me.

- Hey, mom. - Hey!

Just in time.

- How'd the shoot go? - It was good.

Dad got second.

That's great.

Was he pissed he didn’t win?

Yeah, a little bit.

How'd you do?

Did all right.

Just all right?

Yeah, first place is all right with me.

I knew it, I knew it.

Let's see.

Hey, go put this on the mantle

and then can you set the table?

Yeah, sure.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

Hey, what's for dinner?

Lasagna.

Oh,

yes.

Hey, dad's coming home for dinner, right?

Yeah.

He stayed after to help Nathan clean up a little bit,

but, yeah, he’ll be back.

I was with Tyler after the--

Don’t move. Hands up.

Where's Lee Pierce?

- I don't know. - What's going on in there?

Freeze.

Back up. Back. Back!

Where is he?

He's not here.

Bullshit!

Where is he? Where is he?

We got a warrant for his arrest.

You have no right to break into our home like this.

Where's Lee?

All right, put your hands on the fridge.

Don't move.

Where is he?

Jesus Christ.

Hey!

Cut the shit out!

Back off. Now.

You all right?

Fuck off.

Where's your father?

Get the fuck out of my house!

Hey!

You okay?

Yeah.

Get the hell out.

Go.

Your husband's a wanted man.

Get out!

Let's go.

I'm calling Nathan.

Stand here and let me know if they come back.

Hi, Kat, it's Ellie.

Is Lee there by chance?

Yes, please.

He’s still with Nathan, thank God. See anything?

No, not yet.

Hey, hon. What you need?

Lee,

the sheriff just busted into the house with guns and everything,

with a warrant for your arrest.

Woah, woah, woah, woah. The sheriff was inside the house?

Yes. They kicked in the front and back door.

It was awful.

Are you okay?

Is Daniel there?

Yeah, we're both okay.

All right, did they take anything or leave anything?

I don't think so. I'm not sure.

I had my hands on the fridge when they were in the bedroom.

Daniel, did you see them take anything?

No.

I don't think they took anything.

All right, make sure they didn't place a bug or something

in the bedroom.

They aren't still there, are they?

No, they left.

Did you say anything to him?

No, but, Lee,

I don't know where they’re headed next.

I think you need to be careful coming home.

Hang on, darling.

Nathan.

Nathan.

Sheriff just broke into my house with a warrant.

Got a place for me to lie low?

- We talking code black? - Code black.

I'll be ready in 20.

Make it ten.

Darling, I'm not coming home.

You understand?

Nathan's gonna take me where I can stay out of trouble.

Lee, you need to come home.

Who’s to say they aren't waiting for me at the end of the drive

or anywhere in between?

I can't risk it.

So you just go wherever and then

we just wait for you to come back?

Look, we've talked about this before.

Just because we've talked about it doesn't mean I like it.

I don't like it either.

It's better than jail.

What you want me to do?

Attagirl.

Keep the farm running while I'm gone.

Make sure the south pasture gets seeded.

Any info on the sheriff,

you pass that to Nathan

and help Daniel protect the place.

Put Daniel on the phone.

Be careful, Lee.

Yes, ma'am.

I love you.

I love you too.

Daniel, come talk to your father.

Dad, what's going on?

You okay?

No, this piece of shit put a gun to my chest.

Webb did that?

No, the deputy.

They try that again, you can return the favor.

Yes, sir.

Listen, I gotta lie low for a little while.

While I’m gone, you're man of the house, you understand?

Yes, sir.

All right, you don't let anybody in you don't trust.

Protect your mother, no matter what it takes.

I mean no matter what.

Yes, sir.

I gotta run.

I'm proud of what you did today.

If you need to get in touch,

you leave me a note at the hunting tree.

That's between you and me. No need to worry your mom.

Take care now.

You too.

Mom.

Hey.

Hey.

Has anything like this ever happened before?

Yeah.

About ten years ago, something kind of like this happened.

How’d it turn out?

There was a big standoff between the cops and a group of guys,

and um...

in the end, the guys skedaddled in the middle of the night and

left the state.

So the cops won?

Yes and no.

But, the guys, they had to leave town.

But they didn't give the cops what they wanted either.

Sounds like a defeat to me.

Come here.

I just wish there was a way I could cut a deal

with the sheriff.

I think it's gonna take more than that.

Yeah.

I think that Nathan and the guys are

working on figuring something out.

Yeah, but they won't tell me anything.

I mean, they're stupid age rule keeps me in the dark,

and I can't do anything.

I know you don't like it, but you're a kid.

You're supposed to be doing kid stuff.

They don't want you getting mixed up in trouble.

Yeah, but I want to be mixed up in the trouble.

I mean, fuck, we are mixed up in the trouble.

I know, but

it's gonna be okay.

And what if it isn't?

Even if it isn't,

it'll be okay.

That doesn't make any sense.

It does. Just take a deep breath.

We're gonna keep fighting.

If I did something with the militia, would you be upset?

Not if they allowed it.

Did you have something in mind?

No.

Just anything to help dad out.

You keeping things safe around here is helping dad out.

But it's not enough.

Yes, it is.

We just gotta hang tight.

Okay?

I'll try.

I love you.

I love you too.

Then the Lord said to Cain,

“Why are you angry?

Why is your face downcast?

If you do what is right, you will not be accepted.

But if you do not do what is right,

sin is crouching at your door.

It desires to have you,

but you must rule over it.”

Now, Cain said to his brother Abel,

“Let's go out to the field.”

While they were in the field

Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the Lord said to Cain,

All right, guys.

We lost.

Dan won.

Dan's in charge for the next year.

She's all yours.

For now.

Thanks, Ty.

All right, I now call to order

the 44th session of the Wild Bunch.

Here, here.

All right.

Look, I know we kind of mess around a lot, but

I need to talk to you about something serious.

Sheriff broke into my house

the other day looking for my dad, and now he's gone.

Were you there when they broke in?

Me and my mom were, yeah.

Pinned me against the table and put a gun to my chest.

No fucking way.

The sheriff did that?

One of his goons did, yeah.

Did they touch your mom?

Couldn’t see.

There’s no way that shit's legal.

Yeah, did they have a warrant or anything?

He said he had a warrant.

They have to show you that shit.

Yeah, well, he didn't.

I bet he didn't have one.

Cops do illegal shit all the time.

Yeah, my grandpa used to be a cop

and he said they planted evidence a ton.

Well, it's kind of hard to see anything like that with a gun to my chest.

What's your dad gonna do?

He's hiding somewhere.

He told me to protect my mom no matter what,

and, you know, that got me thinking that we got to change how we do things around here.

How?

I think we should be doing exactly the same stuff the militia’s doing.

I mean, you're all gonna join, right?

Hell yeah.

We all know how to shoot.

Yeah. I mean, some of us better than others.

Shut up, Sammy.

Look, if they won't let us join the militia, now we just form one of our own.

I mean, we're basically a militia anyway.

We're a group of guys that come together to protect people.

I’m in.

Yeah, I'll do it.

Yeah, me too.

And then what?

We just keep airsofting?

You know, saying we're a militia doesn't make us a militia.

That’s why we train like one.

Look, my dad gave me his field manuals

and there's all sorts of info for close quarters combat,

squad tactics,

everything that we need to practice.

This shit's legit.

Yeah, it's nothing compared to this one.

This one teaches you how to make improvised explosives.

Like IEDs?

That's what IED stands for, dumbass.

Improvised explosive device.

You wanna make a bomb.

I wanna teach this shithead a lesson.

Let's vote on it, then.

All right.

All in favor of forming our own militia?

Hands up.

Now what?

Let's make a trip to the hardware store.

You mean the bomb store?

Exactly.

Okay, so it's one inch steel piping,

one inch washers, and then a pipe cap.

What about nails?

I think I saw some in the other aisle.

Make sure they're half inch.

Got it.

All right, what else?

Gunpowder or some other propellant.

I got plenty of that at home.

Yeah, all right.

Then it's just a fuse,

blasting cap, or

igniter.

There's a couple different options.

Firearms section?

Yeah.

To the guns.

Whatever, Russ.

- Hey. - Hi.

Find everything all right?

Yeah, thanks.

What you boys building?

What?

What you making with these supplies here?

What are we building?

Mm-hmm.

It’s a spud gun.

I see.

$129 even.

Yeah.

Be careful.

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

First.

Hey.

Oh, whatever. That's bullshit.

You had wheels and you still lost.

Whatever.

Watch out.

John, did you put more candy in here?

Yeah.

Shit.

Forgot a welding torch.

Fuck.

Damn, I don't wanna talk to that guy again.

I think Sammy's got one at home.

Does he know how to use it?

Yeah, probably. I mean,

his dad’s a welder, so.

All right, well

tell Sammy to bring that, okay?

- Yeah. - Then everyone else meet at my house Wednesday

and we'll put it together, yeah?

- Yep. - Sounds good.

Okay.

Hey, Daniel.

Just got a call from the hardware store

about some kids making some fishy purchases.

Anything you wanna tell me?

No.

You know, I'm gonna go in there,

he's gonna tell me what happened.

I don't have anything.

So whatever he tells you, it wasn't me.

All right, listen.

I know you weren't happy with me about the situation with your father.

I get it. I'd be pissed too.

And I want to apologize

for the actions my deputy took towards you the other day.

That wasn't right.

But your dad broke the law.

He has to face the consequences.

And that stunt

him and his buddies pulled at the courtroom the other day

could’ve gotten somebody killed.

Look at me.

If you know where he is,

or you hear anything,

please

come to me before people get hurt.

I'm not the bad guy here.

I'm here to protect and to serve.

That includes you.

No matter how much you might hate me right now.

Is that all?

What you reading?

A book.

Can I go?

Yeah, you can go.

Hey, there.

Wanted to let you know that we're safe and we haven't been bothered in a while.

Hope you're doing all right.

Me and the boys are putting something together to try to

help you out. Get things back to normal.

Mom doesn't like being out of the loop, but

I think she understands.

Let me know if you have any advice.

I hope to see you soon.

I got some bootprints over here.

I have footprints here.

Got some headed east,

some headed south.

Got a deer trail.

Someone's been following it.

See anything?

Nah.

Nothing but a lot of hiding places.

I bet if we follow that deer trail, we catch up to whoever else is following it.

Let's get to it.

Okay.

So basically,

you just mount the caps in like this,

drill a hole for the fuse, and, once you do,

the explosion’s got nowhere to go but out.

That's it?

That's it.

Just gonna put these caps on and

got ourselves an arsenal.

Fucking bomb-smith Sammy, man.

Hey, think you could finish one tonight when the gang shows up?

Yeah, sounds good to me.

Nice.

That's Tyler.

- Be right back. - Yeah, okay.

- Let me hold it. - Yeah.

Hey.

Got the goods?

Yep, four extra large pepperonis and four green machines.

One for each.

- There is a God. - Yeah.

Is everyone here?

Yeah, everybody but John. Sammy’s finishing up the last bomb, so

when John gets here, we can test it.

Oh, man. It’s gonna--

Shit.

You good?

It's okay.

Let me see it.

Holy shit.

Sammy?

Sammy?

Sammy?

Sammy!

You're okay.

You’re okay. You're okay. It’s just--

Tyler.

Shit.

We gotta get him to the house.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

- Combat drag. - Yeah.

Stop!

Okay, okay.

Do you just leave him here?

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don’t know.

Okay.

Sammy, buddy, what do you want us to do?

- I wanna go home. - No.

Buddy, we gotta move you, okay?

It’s gonna hurt, but we gotta get you out of here.

Okay.

We're taking him to the house.

Okay.

Three. Two. One.

- Holy shit. - Fuck.

Sammy, buddy.

Sammy, you okay?

Buddy, Sammy.

Fuck!

He's breathing.

Mom!

Mom, help!

What's going on?

- Oh, my god. - We need help.

Sammy's hurt bad.

Call 911.

Tyler, call 911.

Stop.

Don't do that.

We need to get him to the hospital.

No, no.

That'll make things worse for all of us.

If he goes to the hospital, people will really start asking questions.

Then, what do we do?

He's still breathing.

We need to slow the bleeding.

Daniel, go start the truck.

You need to take him to Forrest Baker's house.

His wife was a nurse.

Do not go to the hospital.

Daniel, go!

Get his feet.

I'll call Forrest and tell him you're coming.

Okay, that's good.

Okay, what exploded?

I don't know.

We weren't in the garage when it blew up.

Now is not the time for secrets, boys.

It was a pipe bomb.

What was it made of?

Steel pipe.

Mostly.

Was it filled with anything?

I'm not sure.

You sure you're not sure?

I promise we don't know.

What can we do to help?

Leave.

I'll do everything I can and I'll let you know.

Are you hurt at all?

No.

Did everyone get home okay?

Is Russ okay?

- I’m scared. - I know.

Sammy was so fucked up.

I didn't know what to do.

You got him help.

That's all that you could do.

It's okay.

- I'm scared. - I know.

Everyone's gonna be okay.

I wish dad was here.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

Hey, partner.

Glad to hear you all are doing well.

Sorry to say things aren't going as well for me.

Cops are out searching, my spot isn't gonna hold up.

I gotta leave the area,

put some distance between me and them.

Not sure when I'll see you next, so

be strong for your mother.

Tell her I love her and I'm not giving up.

It's time for you to take charge.

Be the man I know you can be.

Live free or die.

- Mom! - In here.

Dad's leaving.

What?

This can't happen.

Come with me.

Help me with this.

There's some supplies under the house that's only for emergencies.

I want you to bring me the wooden foot locker.

Okay.

Pineapples and lemons.

Your dad's favorite fruits.

What do you want me to do?

Take care of our problem.

Howdy, boys.

Man, I have a surprise for--

Wait a second, man.

What's going on?

Everything all right?

Me, John, and Russ had a chat and...

we decided that you're out of the group.

You can't kick me out of the group.

I'm the fucking commander.

Sammy almost died.

You weren't even there.

Okay, so don't act like you went through that.

It doesn't matter.

We took a vote and you're out.

Well, it's not like I lit the fuse.

Okay, we were in it together.

Yeah, we were.

We followed our commander and he almost got us killed.

I can't hear out of this ear anymore, Daniel.

I'm tired of doing stupid shit.

I'm sorry.

Okay, so what, you think it's stupid to stand up

for what you believe in?

To fight back?

You're not gonna like the militia very much, then.

The militia actually knows what it's doing.

Guys, I got new supplies.

A new plan. It's gonna be different.

- Nobody's going to get hurt. - Stop.

It's over.

We don't want to be a part of it anymore.

You're out.

So that's it?

That's it.

Man, fuck you guys.

I'll do it myself.

Shit.

God damn it.

So, how was your airsoft game?

Don't start shit.

Okay, so what? We're just not friends anymore?

I didn’t say that.

You're acting like it,

Tyler.

I just need space.

Okay?

Sammy thing was too much and...

I just need time.

Excuse me.

Young man, the last time Tyler spent time with you,

Sammy Burke almost died.

Not to mention your other family problems.

Where's your mother?

Elinor.

Can you come here, please?

The sheriff came to my house last night.

Said his patrol car got blown up.

Thinks one of the boys has something to do with it.

Did he come to your house?

No, nobody came to our house.

And you don't know anything about it?

Why would I know anything about that?

We have stuck our necks out for you.

The least I'd expect is a little support in return.

Let's go.

Morning. Come on down.

You’re all right.

Morning.

Hold it right there.

You don't even have the decency to leave us be at church?

What, do you think that Lee's hiding in the pews?

No, ma'am.

- Daniel Pierce. - Get your hands off him.

Let go of him, ma’am.

You're under arrest

for the bombing of the county patrol car.

This is a joke.

How dare you?

How dare you come and do this at the house of God?

Let's go.

You're gonna pay for this, Webb.

Do you hear me? You are gonna pay for this!

Back up.

Daniel,

don't say anything.

I came and talked to you

and then you go and do something like this.

What proof do you have that I blew up your car?

I talk to people.

Fuck that.

No, there's no way anybody I know told you shit.

You sure about that?

You really trust all those buddies of yours?

You know, sometimes, Daniel,

people tell me more

by what they don't say than what they do.

Well, then all I have to say is I didn't do it.

Truth's gonna come out.

One way or the other.

‘Cause when someone figures out

that the secret

they're holding on to

is hurting them more than helping them,

they give it up.

No one's gonna help you.

Maybe.

But I'm the only one who can help you.

So you sit here while,

think about how you want to spend the next couple decades.

Dad.

Hey, buddy.

Come here.

You okay?

I’m all right.

You?

Never better.

Okay.

What is it you have to say?

It was me.

I bombed your patrol car.

Dad.

Stop. What are you doing?

You're fully admitting to the crime?

That's right.

Can even tell you what kind of grenade I used.

That’s not true.

He didn't bomb your--

Shut your mouth.

You'll be facing your previous charges as well.

- You know that? - Yes I do.

Just let the boy go.

No harm, no foul.

It was me.

All right.

Have a seat.

Daniel,

you can come with me.

No.

Go home, Daniel.

- Come on, son. - No.

Fuck off. This is bullshit. I'm not leaving.

Dad, what are you doing?

Go home!

All right, lastly, we've got range updates,

talk annual fees, and new membership.

As far as the range goes, it's been long overdue.

I need all y’alls help.

Calm down.

Y'all got to do something to help my dad.

What's done is done.

So you're just gonna let him rot in jail?

There's not much else that can be done.

Bust him out.

Gather the troops. Defend his liberty.

That's what you do.

You have already severely escalated the situation, son.

You're not thinking.

You have no plan.

- You need foolproof plans. - So plan something.

You're not listening to me.

He already confessed, all right?

This is up to the judge.

So you guys aren't gonna do anything?

After everything he's done for you guys!

The only way he gets out of this now is if that sheriff doesn't show up in court.

Good luck with that.

Please.

Anybody. Just one person.

Isn't there one person willing to help?

Please.

Take a vote.

You are not part of this militia.

You have no say in our governing rules or our decision making process.

And any man who wants to follow this boy to their demise

will feel the full strength of my retribution.

You're a coward.

Don't you ever speak like that to me again.

Your anger is misplaced.

Go home. Cool off.

And don't you ever let me catch you back here with anything

but an apology on that mouth of yours!

New membership.

What are you doing here, man?

My parents do not want you here.

We need to get the militia back together.

There's no way.

We don't want to be a part of more stupid shit.

This isn't a hangout, okay?

It's a fucking OP.

Look, my dad's in jail

and nobody's gonna lift a finger to help him.

We have to do it ourselves.

The militia isn't gonna do anything?

No.

What am I supposed to do?

Get your gun.

I need you, man.

Look, if there was ever a time that you were my friend,

now is the time that I need you.

Jesus.

Come on.

You know it doesn't work like that.

If your dad was in trouble, you know you’d do the same thing.

And you know that if you asked me for help,

that I'd be there in a heartbeat

I'd take a bullet for you, man. You know that.

Look, this is the real shit.

Russ was right.

This is fucking war.

And I need you guys.

You wanna make a difference, right?

Yeah.

But what's the plan?

Get John and Russ to sneak out tonight

and meet me at Culver Junction.

We're going hot.

You're serious?

Live free or die.

Fuck.

Okay.

I'll tell Russ and we'll go from there.

All right.

I'll see you tonight.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

The hell are you doing here, Daniel?

Go home before you get into more trouble.

Enough is enough.

Were is he going?

Get out of the car! Hands where I can see them!

Out of the car now!

God damn it.

Daniel!

Put your hands out the window. Now!

Don't do anything stupid, Daniel.

Put your hands on your head.

Step out of the car.

Daniel?

Daniel?

Freeze.

Drop the gun.

Drop the fucking gun!

Easy, boys.

Drop your weapon.

Bag him.

Give me your hands.

Well done, boys.

Hell yeah, motherfucker.

So what now?

Now you guys go home.

Pretend like this never happened.

Fuck that.

We just nabbed this piece of shit.

Yeah.

Now go home so your parents don't catch you.

I’m with Russ, Dan.

We're in this together. That's the point.

No. You follow orders and I said go home.

You're being a fucking dick, man.

I'm not leaving until this is finished.

It is finished.

Now go home.

No.

Woah.

Get the fuck out of here!

- What the fuck, man? - Jesus, man.

Cut this shit out.

What, you think I'm joking?

Fuck this, man.

I'm out.

You’re a psycho.

What are you doing?

You said we’d take him to the militia.

Get out of here.

I mean it.

What are you gonna do?

Just go.

On your knees.

Get down on your knees.

Sit.

So now what?

You let my dad go.

Okay.

And then what?

Then you leave town and you never come back.

You don't wanna do this.

No.

I don't.

But you forced me to.

I wish you'd talked to me when I asked.

- I'm sure you got a lot of things going through your head-- - I don't want to talk to you.

You ruined my life!

Why couldn't you just leave my family alone?

You wanna protect your family, right?

Damn right.

And you’d do anything

for them?

Obviously.

Well, this whole county

is my family.

The law is my family.

I do everything I can to protect it.

Bullshit.

That's bullshit.

I don't get paid to help my family.

That's true.

You got a close group of friends.

That's more than money can buy.

Shut up.

You're not gonna trick me into liking you.

That shit doesn't work.

You know this is a mistake.

That's why you sent your buddies home.

Keep ‘em out of trouble. That's smart.

You're the only one that's in trouble right now.

You don't have to talk to me.

But just listen, okay?

It is not too late to turn this thing around.

You don't wanna do this.

You got your whole life ahead of you.

Let me go.

I won't press any charges.

You won't go to jail. Do you understand?

I know that you're a good kid.

I know you just want what's best for your family. I get it.

I really do.

Daniel, everyone knows this is not your fault.

Even your dad.

He's on my side.

We all want what's best for you.

That's why he's taking the fall for you.

So come on.

Let's take a deep breath and figure--

All right, let's work on your stance first.

- Let's get on those railroad tracks. Right? - Yeah.

All right, then, grab your weapon.

Go ahead and shoulder it.

There you go. Down range.

Here, move that hand up forward. Good.

Now let’s bend at the waist. Aggressive stance, okay?

How's that feel?

- Good. - Good?

All right, boys. Let's wrap it up.

Finish this tomorrow, okay?

Y’all go home.

Doing some shooting, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Wanna join?

You look like you got it under control.

Look, Nathan’s sheriff now.

So nobody's gonna be coming after you.

What happened...

I just wish it would’ve went different.

I just did what I thought you would’ve done.

I did what I would have done.

Then, I did what you trained me to do.

All right.

Look, Daniel, there's some things in my life that I'm not proud of.

But I never wanted those things for you.

I wanted you to be better.
