[mellow acoustic guitar]

[woman calling out]
IT'S STARTING.

COME INSIDE.

COME ON IN, BOYS.

IT'S ON.

THE CROWD'S WAITING
OUTSIDE UNITY HALL

LIKE IT WASN'T
NEARLY FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

IT FEELS LIKE
THE ONLY ONE NOT HERE YET

IS THE MAN HIMSELF.

[crowd cheers outside]

IS HE DOING THE GOD THING?

OH, I HOPE NOT.

GOD'S NOT POPULAR
RIGHT NOW.

HE DOESN'T CARE.
HE LIKES GOD.

AND GOD LIKES HIM.

(soldier)
DETAIL!

HE'S HERE.

THE KING APPROACHES.

[crowd cheers outside]

SIR, I'D FEEL MUCH BETTER
ABOUT THIS

IF I COULD SEE
YOUR SPEECH FIRST.

STOP ASKING.

WHERE'S REVEREND SAMUELS?

(woman)
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.

WE'LL HAVE MY SON DO IT.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA 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.

HE DIDN'T WRITE
A SPEECH.

IT'LL COME.

[cheers and applause]

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 THIS CITY
THAT WE BUILT THROUGH INDUSTRY,

THROUGH INGENUITY,
THROUGH WAR AND SACRIFICE,

AND I FEEL THAT BLESSING.

[applause]

THIS CITY IS THE DREAM
OF A HALF-CENTURY,

AND THIS MORNING...

WE BRING THAT DREAM
INTO THE DAY.

WE HAVE BUILT SHILOH.

[cheers and applause]

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...

AND MY EYES OPENED...

AND I SAW UNITY HALL,
RIGHT HERE

AS IT STANDS TODAY...

PAY ATTENTION, BOYS.

YOUR FATHER DIED
FIGHTING FOR THIS.

DAMN FOOL.

(Silas)
I LOOKED AND I SAW PEOPLE--

FORMER ENEMIES
WORKING TOGETHER...

[horn honking]
I'LL GET IT.

(Silas)
I SAW HOSPITALS, STREETS,
TRAFFIC,

JEWELRY SHOPS,
POLICE STATIONS.

RUDE, OLD MEN
STEALING YOUR CAB.

TRUCKS SELLING 50 DIFFERENT
KINDS OF ICE CREAM.

SOMEONE'S PULLING
INTO THE SHOP.

I SAW IT ALL AS IF
IT WAS HERE ALREADY.

UNDER ONE FLAG, UNITED.

UNDER ONE KING, STRONG.

MORNING.

YOU JESSIE?

MY MOM.

DIDN'T 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 WANNA 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?

A NEW ONE WOULD.

[engine starts]

THE DEAD HAS ARISEN.

LOOK AT YOU.

IT WAS JUST A CRACKED HOSE.

TO YOU, MAYBE, BUT TO ME
THAT WAS A BROKEN CAR.

YOU HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING
ON YOU.

HERE.

I CAN'T CHARGE YOU
FOR A PIECE OF TAPE.

IT'S YOUR TIME
I OWE YOU FOR.

I'LL MEET YOU HALFWAY.

THIS BROKEN THING
HAS BEEN IN MY POCKET

FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

SHOULD'VE 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.

(Silas)
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.

[cheers and applause]

(female reporter)
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.

(Jessie)
THERE YOU GO, BOYS.

OUR TAXES WENT INTO
REBUILDING THAT WHOLE CITY

FOR TWENTY YEARS.

AT LEAST YOU'LL BE ABLE
TO TELL YOUR GRANDKIDS,

"I SAW IT HAPPEN."

EXCEPT FOR DAVID.
HE MISSED IT.

WHO WAS IN THE SHOP,
ANYWAYS?

REVEREND SAMUELS.

[laughs]

WHO WANTS PANCAKES?
(man)
I DO. I'M STARVING.

(reporter)
THE ONLY DARK CLOUDS
ON THIS DAY

ARE REPORTS OF TENSION
IN THE NORTH.

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, SHEP.

SHEP!

SERIOUSLY, BRO...

I SWEAR, MAN, YOU MOMS MAKES
THE BEST FRIGGIN' BROWNIES, MAN.

WHAT'S IN THESE?

GUILT.

HEY, GIMME 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
WE'RE OUTGUNNED.

(David)
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.
IT MUST BE WORKING.

[distant gunfire
and radio chatter]

I GOT A POOL GOING ON WHEN
YOU THINK THEY'LL BLOW TODAY.

ACTUALLY, IT SHOULD BE
ANY SECOND.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
YEAH, I KINDA DO.

IT'S A DIFFERENT TIME
EVERY DAY.

IT'S A COMPLETELY
RANDOM EVENT.

ANY SECOND.

[multiple explosions]

[laughter]

I SWEAR TO GOD,

IF YOU WEREN'T MY BROTHER
I'D THINK YOU'RE A SPY.

HOW'D YOU KNOW
THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN?

HAVE ANOTHER BROWNIE.

HEY...

YOU GUYS HEAR?

A SQUAD GOT PINCHED.

AT FOXLAND FOREST.

THEY GOT OUT ALONE
SOMEHOW, NO AIR SUPPORT.

BASTARDS AMBUSHED THEM.

THEY DEAD?

NOT ALL.
THEY TOOK HOSTAGES.

[running footsteps]

A PLATOON WAS AMBUSHED.
FOXLAND.

12 DEAD, 2 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.

I'M SORRY, SIR,
IT'S--IT'S--

CALL THE AMBASSADOR TO GATH.

GET THEM BACK.
GET IT DONE.

YOU CAN'T.

WE DON'T NEGOTIATE
FOR HOSTAGES,

AS YOU SAID.

WE CAN'T NOW.

THEN WHAT DO WE DO?

NO ONE GOES AFTER
THE HOSTAGES.

WE DON'T NEED
ANY MORE LOSSES.

IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS,

ANYONE WITHIN 200 YARDS
OF A GOLIATH WAS A LOSS.

THIS COMES FROM THE TOP.

[distant explosions
and gunfire]

[thud]

[relieved sigh]

ANYONE ON THE MOVE?

HOW DO YOU WALK QUIET, SHEP?

WHAT THE HELL
YOU DOING OUT HERE?

NOTHING.

ANYTHING MOVING OUT THERE?

NO, A TANK ON 5-KO ROLLED
TO 50 YARDS OFF THE DITCH.

I THOUGHT I SAW
A SHELTER GO UP.

DUDE...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I CAN'T RUN IN THESE.

YOU THINK IT'S THEM?
THE HOSTAGES?

(David)
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST HAVE A FEELING.

(Savoy)
THEY COULD BE HIDING 'EM
BEHIND THE TANKS,

BUT...

THEY'LL COURT-MARSHAL YOU
FOR THIS.

IF YOU LIVE THAT LONG.
DON'T WORRY.

I'M CALLING
YOUR BROTHER, MAN.

DON'T.

HE'LL JUST TRY
AND STOP ME.

GIVE ME A WRENCH.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
CHANGE THEIR OIL?

[electronic blip]

[distant explosions]

[rumbling getting louder]

[tank engine rumbling]

[distant explosions
and gunfire]

[David whispering]
SLOWLY.

OKAY, OKAY.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

(David)
OKAY, COME ON.
COME ON.

STAY WITH ME.
STAY WITH ME.
OW!

[soldier grunting]

COME ON, COME ON.
GET UP.

COME ON.

[tank engine starts,
gunfire]

[soldier crying out in pain]

I'LL COVER.

CAN YOU GET HIM
TO LOOKOUT?

(second soldier)
I THINK SO.

[machine gun fire]

[gunfire]

[tank engine whining]

HE'S GETTING UP.

YOU SEEING THIS?

[camera shutter clicking]

[explosion]

YOU DUMB SON OF A--

IF YOU'D HAVE DIED, I'D--

(David)
WHAT'S THIS?

(Eli)
IT'S YOUR COURT-MARTIAL.

SHEPHERD!

YOU WERE GIVEN AN ORDER.

HOW IS HE?

A CUT TO THE HEAD AND A SCAR
TO REMEMBER IT BY,

BUT HE'LL BE FINE, SIR.

THAT'S JACK BENJAMIN.

YOU SAVED THE KING'S SON.

ICE TRUCKS.

IT MEANS FISH TONIGHT.

PROBABLY KING SALMON,
GIVEN THE SEASON.

NO, IT DOESN'T MEAN FISH.

THEN WHAT?

LAMB.

IT'S A HERO'S WELCOME.
HEROES GET RED MEAT.

I'D DO WITH A NICE
PISTACHIO CRUST, IF ASKED.

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 PANTIES
SHE PICKS FOR THURSDAYS TOO?

'DAY, SIRS. NAMES?

UH, DAVID SHEPHERD.

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,
AT YOUR BANQUET.

THE MENU, MA'AM.

AH, THE MENU.

"SQUAB, HERB POLENTA,

ARRABIATA FOR THE VEGETARIANS."

GOOD, GOOD.
IT'S PERFECT.

BUT UH, TAKE OFF THE LAMB.

YES, MA'AM.

WHAT ABOUT OUR GUEST
OF HONOR?

WHO'S MAKING SURE
HE'S PRESENTABLE?

WE HAVE JACK ON THAT, MA'AM.

PUT SOMEONE ON JACK.

YES, MA'AM.

[overlapping conversations]

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU CAME OUT TONIGHT.

I MEAN, YOU ALMOST DIED
OUT THERE.

I DIDN'T.

THAT CALLS FOR MORE LIVING.

THOMASINA.

OH, MY LOVE.

DON'T BE JEALOUS.

COME, WE'RE MEETING SHEPHERD.

HE'S COMING TO COURT.

I THOUGHT
THAT WAS TOMORROW.

IT I TOMORROW.

OH.

OKAY.

[doors creak open]

[reporters shouting questions]

[alarmed gasps]

[door creaking]

THAT USED TO HANG
UP IN MY ROOM.

IT 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.

[chuckles]
MYSTERIES OF THE PALACE.

I WISH THEY WOULDN'T.

I'M NOT EVEN REALLY SURE
WHY I'M HERE.

TECHNICALLY SO I COULD
GIVE YOU A TOUR...

AN HOUR AGO.

SORRY.

YOU'RE HERE TO GET SHOWN OFF.

YOU'RE GONNA 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.

GATH.

NOW'S THE TIME
TO MAKE A PUSH FORWARD.

TAKE THE VALLEY.
YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT
FOR THREE YEARS.

LAST PRESENTED?
PERRY.

UH, 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.

WERE OUTGUNNED
AND LACK PUBLIC SUPPORT.

POLLING SHOWS PUBLIC OPINION

IN FAVOR OF AGGRESSIVE MEASURE

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 GATH 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 I KNOW--

MOST FROM YOU.

NOAH TANNER.

SIX YEARS OLD AND NEEDS
A NEW HEART.

GIVEN THE CURRENT OPTIONS,

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
BUT 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 GATH.

MAKE IT LOUD.

TIME TO END THIS DAMN WAR.

WRITE DOWN

"HE GOVERNED PATIENTLY...

"AND WELL,

THEN RAN HOME FOR A SHOWER."

[chuckling]

[tense swelling music]

I SPEND MORE TIME ON CUFFLINKS

THEN 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--

[snaps]

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'VE NEVER TRUSTED
ANYTHING THAT IMPORTANT

WITH THAT NEW SECRETARY.

WHY IS IT THAT PRETTY PEOPLE

ARE ALWAYS SO BAD
WITH DETAILS?

[sighs]

KING OF ALL I SURVEY,

AND I STILL CAN'T FIND
AN OFFICE CHAIR

THAT DOESN'T GET 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.

[overlapping chatter]

IS THIS REALLY YOUR FIRST TIME
IN THE CAPITAL?

I MISSED THE EIGHTH GRADE
CLASS TRIP.

MONO.

(reporter 1)
DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY HERE
TONIGHT?

IS YOUR DAD PROUD OF YOU?

UH, MY DAD DIED FIGHTING
IN THE UNIFICATION WAR.

(reporter 2)
WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?
IS SHE HERE?

MY MOTHER NEVER REALLY APPROVED

OF ME JOINING THE ARMY.

(reporter 1)
WHY IS THAT?

UH, YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD
ABOUT MY FATHER.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

SHALL WE?

START ON THE LEFT
AND WORK OUR WAY OVER.

[camera shutters click]

NOW BACK AGAIN.

YOU HANDLE THE HOUNDS WELL,
PRIVATE.

I HAVE SIX OLDER BROTHERS.

HAVE FUN.

[chatter]

I'D LIKE A LARGE GLASS
OF SOMETHING REALLY EXPENSIVE.

[cork pops]

[pouring]

A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE.

THANK YOU.

[ding]

WE CELEBRATE BRAVERY TONIGHT.

TONIGHT, I'M AS SURE
OF OUR CAUSE AS I WAS

THE DAY WE FOUNDED
OUR GREAT NATION.

AND IF THAT IDEA WAS OVER--

REVEREND SAMUELS,
IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HAVE YOU--

LET ME GET A DRINK IN BEFORE

YOU START ASKING ME FOR THINGS,
WOULD YOU, MARCUS?

(Silas)
WE HAD LITTLE MORE THAN HOPE

AND A BAD IDEA.

TWO KEY INGREDIENTS
FOR GLOBAL CHANGE.

[crowd laughs]

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.

[applause]

STILL WITH THE 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.

SIR.

[laughs]

THE LORD'S WORLD IS GREAT.

VERY, VERY SMALL.

THE HERO WHO 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.

[sighs]

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 LIKE THE ONE IN RED?

NOW YOUR NIGHTS WILL NOT ALWAYS
BE THIS EASY.

SO...

ENJOY.

JUST WATCH OUT
FOR THE CAMERAS.

[clink]

[camera shutters clicking]

[single note rings]

[Liszt's Un Sospiro]

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO BE PLAYING THAT.

[stops]

THAT PIANO WAS A GIFT
TO MY FATHER

FROM THE PRIME MINISTER
OF AUSTERIA.

[begins playing]

THIS PIANO'S A BROADWOOD GRAND.

1848.

THE SAME YEAR LISZT WROTE THIS.

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.

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. ACHAREN.

OH.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU KNOW HIM.

THE KID.

I'M NOT SURE IF I KNOW ANYBODY
ANYMORE.

SPEAK IN RIDDLES, REVEREND,

YOU'RE LIABLE TO NEVER GET
YOUR POINT ACROSS.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO PRETEND

THAT I DON'T KNOW.

ABOUT GATH?

I SPOKE MY PIECE CLEARLY.

THE OFFENSIVE COULD 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.

SIT.

IT'S TIME WE SPOKE PLAINLY,
YOU AND I.

YES, SIR.

PLAINLY DOESN'T COME
WITH SIRS.

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,

OR YOU'RE LIABLE TO GET A CAR

YOU CAN'T AFFORD
THE INSURANCE ON.

AH.

HALF MY KINGDOM IT IS.

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.

[whispers]
FOLLOW MY LEAD.

[classical music]

UM, I'M SORRY ABOUT BEFORE.

I TOOK MY BAD DAY OUT ON YOU.

PRINCESSING IS HARD WORK,
HUH?

HEALTH REFORM, ACTUALLY.

A SHOWED THEM A WAY
TO HELP PEOPLE

AND GOT TOLD
IT WAS INCONVENIENT.

I'M TRYING TO GET A SIX-YEAR-OLD
A NEW HEART.

WHAT?

HAPPINESS SUITS HER,
ABNER.

WHO KNEW?

HIM.

(Abner)
YES, SIR?

I'LL NOT FORGET WHAT HE SAID
AND WHEN HE SAID IT.

YES, SIR.

DON'T MAKE A SHOW OF IT.

AND THE WIFE?

NO, NO NEED.

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.

(Silas)
PERFECT TIMING.

MEDIUM SCRAMBLED
ON WHOLE WHEAT TOAST,

NO BUTTER ON PAIN OF DEATH.

[snaps]

A RARE FULL HOUSE.
EAT.

NO SIGN OF IT, MA'AM.

THEY CHECKED THE CARS?

AND THE LUGGAGE.

THE SERVICE IS ASKING
FOR AN ACCOUNT

OF THE INFORMATION ON THERE.

(Jack)
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 GOTTA BE SOMEWHERE.

(Michelle)
DID MOM LOSE HER MIND

AND FIND THOMASINA
TO FIX EVERYTHING,

OR WAS IT THE OTHER WAY?

SORT OF A CHICKEN/EGG QUESTION.

(Silas)
THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?

I WAS TOLD TO COME?

(Silas)
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 DAMNED
REVEREND'LL EVER KNOW.

JUST RECOGNIZING THE CHANGE
OCCURS,

THANK 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, UH, SOMETHING
YOU'D LIKE ME TO DO?

HE'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, UH, STAY LONG.

I HAVE TO REPORT BACK TO BASE
THIS MORNING.

UH, 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 SHEPHERD.

CAPTAIN.

YOU'RE AN OFFICER NOW.

HELL OF A TIME TO LOSE
YOUR POWERS OF SPEECH.

YOU'RE GOING ON AIR
IN AN HOUR.

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 SHEPHERD

CALL ME "SIR,"

I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR SIDEARM
AND SHOOT HIM.

WHAT--

WH-WHAT HAVE YOU 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.

[Michelle giggles]

I'M NOT GONNA 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'VE 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?

[sighs]
IT'S YOUR FAULT.

OOH, I BLAME THE GRIEF.

YOU REALLY HAD ME WORRIED,
JACK.

YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D NEVER DIE.

WELL I KEPT MY PROMISE.
SEE?

LOOK, HOW LONG ARE WE GONNA
HAVE TO SUFFER THAT ONE?

OH, HE'S HARMLESS.

HE'S A COCKER SPANIEL.

THAT COCKER SPANIEL JUST GOT
THE BEST POST IN THE MILITARY.

HELL,

I WAS THE ONE TAKEN
HOSTAGE.

THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MY JOB.

INSTEAD I'M BEING BROUGHT IN
FOR QUESTIONING.

MORE DISCIPLINE?

YOU 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 LOST MEN.

WE HAD SUPPORT.

PLEASE.
TALK TO HIM.

THEY COULD BRING ME UP
ON CHARGES.

YES.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
TO GET INVOLVED WITH POLITICS.

[huffs]

BUT...

IF I WERE TO SUGGEST SOMETHING,

I'D SAY LET THEM.

LET THEM COURT MARTIAL ME?

WHY NOT?

TRUTH OUTED SLOWLY
IS REMEMBERED LONGEST.

SO SIT THROUGH THEIR MEETINGS.

THEY'LL SEE WHAT'S WHAT
SOON ENOUGH

AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE
TO COVER YOU

WITH SO MANY MEDALS
AND APOLOGIES.

YOU'LL BE STUFFED
FROM ALL THE BANQUETS

IN YOUR HIGH HONOR.

BE PATIENT, JACK.

IT'LL ALL COME OUT
IN THE WASH.

PROBABLY ALONG WITH
MY DAMN CELL PHONE.

[on TV]
AND SADLY HE SUFFERED
A CORONARY

WHILE JOGGING NEAR HIS HOME.

MINISTER OF ENERGY FAULKS
WAS A 15-YEAR SERVANT

OF OUR GOVERNMENT
AND A PATRIOT.

KING SILAS WILL BE VISITING
WITH HIS FAMILY

AFTER THE FUNERAL.

(David)
LISTEN, MOM,

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA MAKE IT

BACK HOME THIS WEEKEND
LIKE I THOUGHT.

[Jessie on phone]
I THOUGHT YOU HAD
SOME LEAVE COMING.

DID YOU GET IN TROUBLE?

[David on phone]
SORT OF.

TURN ON THE TV.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEWS
FROM THE FRONT.

[overlapping chatter on TV]

NOW 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 SHEPHERD.

WH--

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

MOM, I GOTTA GO.

DAVID--
I GOTTA GO.

[shouting]

THEY MADE HIM A MONKEY!

HEY, SHEPHERD.
WHAT?

THERE'S A PACKAGE HERE
FOR YOU.

LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!

IS ANYONE ELSE REALLY SICK
OF THAT PICTURE?

CAN WE, UH, TURN THAT OFF?

THANKS.

COOL.

[chuckling]

DOES THIS MEAN NO MORE ACTION
FOR YOU?

YOU'LL BE STAYING HERE
IN SHILOH?

UH, LOOK,

I ONLY HAD, 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.

[excited chattering]

AT PRESENT,
WE HAVE TROOPS ADVANCING

ACROSS THE NEUTRAL ZONE
INTO GATH TERRITORY.

WE HAVE REPORTS THAT GATH

HAS RETREATED
ITS ARMOR UNITS.

(female reporter)
IS THIS IN RESPONSE
TO THE KIDNAPPINGS?

I THINK IT'S IN RESPONSE

TO EVERYONE WANTING
THIS DAMN WAR OVER ALREADY.

THIS IS EMBARRASSING.

WE COULD PULL HIM.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

HE'S PERFECT.
WATCH.

(reporter)
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?

[David on TV]
I HAVE NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION
ON THAT.

BUT FROM PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
I CAN STATE

THAT THAT'S A LOAD
OF BULL[bleep]

PUT OUT BY PEOPLE TRYING
TO CASH IN ON TRAGEDY.

MEN DIED IN THAT AMBUSH.

TRY AND SHOW SOME RESPECT.

NEXT QUESTION.

(Forsythe)
OKAY, THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME
AROUND SOLDIERS.

ANY LAST COMMENTS?
NO?

UH, ACTUALLY, UH, YEAH.

ONE LAST THING.

I HAVE A REPORT
THAT THERE'S PROGRESS

ON A PROMISING NEW HEALTH CARE
PETITION.

TO EXPAND, UH...

YOU KNOW, UM, COVERAGE.

WHICH I GUESS WILL, UM,

I GUESS WILL BENEFIT...

EVERYONE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.

(Thomasina)
FLYING COLORS.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA VOMIT
THE WHOLE TIME.

LUCKY YOU DIDN'T.

[chuckles]

COME, SIR.
THERE'S A CALL FOR YOU.

[cheering on TV]

YOU GOT MY PACKAGE?

[on TV]
YOU SERIOUSLY SPEND
YOUR WHOLE REWARD

ON BEER AND VIDEO GAMES?

YOU'RE SICK!

YOU HAVE A SICKNESS!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

HOW YOU HOLDING UP,
CAPTAIN?

[laughter]

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT
EVER SINCE I GOT HERE.

WHY?
WHAT?

I'LL SWITCH WITH YOU, MAN.
YOU'RE IN THE CAPITAL.

YOU'RE DANCING
WITH THE PRINCESS.

NOBODY'S SHOOTING AT YOU.

YEAH, I JUST THOUGHT
I SHOULD BE OUT THERE

WITH YOU GUYS.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
OH.

THAT'S SWEET.

NO, KID, YOU NEED
TO BE SCOOPING THIS UP

WITH BOTH HANDS, OKAY?

YOU'RE LIVING THE GOOD LIFE.

YOU DESERVE IT.

[siren wails]

WHAT'S GOING ON, ELI?

[shouting]

[explosions]

(man)
AIR RAID!

[shouting]

ELI!

ELI!

(Abner)
WE'RE LOOKING AT PREPARATION

FOR FULL-SCALE INVASION.

WE HAVE TO ATTACK FIRST.

THEY'RE COMING FOR US.

(Health)
THEY HAVEN'T FIRED.
IT COULD BE A RETREAT.

(Scholar)
WE WERE TOLD TO EXPECT
AN OFFICIAL MESSAGE

FROM THEM ANY MINUTE.

(Abner)
RECALLING ALL YOUR PLANS
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.

IT'S A PEACE TREATY.

THEY'RE OFFERING US
A TRUCE.

[crowd cheering,
cars honking]

[knocking]

[honking and cheering outside]

I, UM, OWE YOU A THANK YOU

FOR THE FREE PUBLICITY.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D DROP OFF
A NOTE.

SO YOU HOPED
I WOULDN'T BE HOME.

[laughs]

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.

WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK
ALL THAT NOISE IS OUTSIDE?

I JUST THOUGHT
THAT WAS THE CITY.

UH, ALL RIGHT.

COME ON.
COME ON, YOU'RE GOING.

[cheering, drumming]

HERE.

WOW.

BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?

DO YOU REMEMBER
THE INAUGURATION OF SHILOH?

WHEN WE MOVED TO THE CAPITAL,
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...

[sighs]

IT'S LIKE IT WASN'T REAL
TO HIM UNTIL THAT MOMENT.

IT WAS FREEZING OUT

AND HE BOUGHT US ALL
ROCKET POPS.

THAT WAS WHEN I REALIZED THAT

THE HUMAN WILL CAN TAKE ASHES

AND TURN IT INTO ICE CREAM.

THIS CITY IS ABOUT PROGRESS.

THIS IS WHAT
WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR

THIS ENTIRE TIME.

[uplifting music]

DANCING 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 CAPITAL.

PROMOTION TO MAJOR.

THEN YOU HEARD.
CONGRATULATIONS, JACK.

THAT YOU TOOK ME OFF
ACTIVE DUTY.

THAT IS A DEMOTION.

AND ADMISSION OF GUILT
COUCHES 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 PROP HIM UP
ON A STAGE.

COME THEN.

THERE'S ENOUGH FAIR HAIR
TO GO AROUND.

[huffs]

YOU REALLY MEAN
TO DO THIS NOW?

IF I'M GONNA BE KING

AND TELLING
THE BUTTERFLY STORY,

I NEED TO BE A WAR HERO
IN COMMAND OF MY COMPANY.

I CAN'T DO THAT
FROM THE SIDELINES.

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?

"THE PARTY PRINCE?"
IS THAT IT?

NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

THAT--IT'S NOT WHO I AM.

OH, IF ONLY IT WAS.

WHAT WOULD I GIVE
FOR A PLAYBOY

WHO COULDN'T KEEP IT
IN HIS PANTS,

WHO RUNS THROUGH WOMEN?

BUT WHAT I HAVE...

IS A SON WHO SHOWS
NO INTEREST IN THEM.

OH, YOU THOUGHT I DIDN'T KNOW?

I'VE BEEN KEEPING PICTURES

OF OUR FAMILY OUT
OF THE FREE PRESS FOR YEARS.

WHAT YOU DO AT NIGHT
WITH YOUR BOYS

AFTER YOUR SHOW
OF SKIRT CHASING

IS A DISGRACE.

IF YOU WERE 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.

NOW YOU WANT TO SHOW ME

YOU HAVE THE HEART
TO BE KING?

SHOW ME YOU CAN CONTROL IT.

WRESTLE 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.

IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT..

(Silas)
READ IT BACK.

(Perry)
"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.

[door opens]

AH, WILLIAM,

WHO COMES TO THE KING
UNCALLED.

WHY AREN'T YOU OUT
ON A PARADE FLOAT SOMEWHERE?

[door shuts]

NO SIGN OF IT LETTING UP
EITHER.

EVEN MICHELLE IS OUT
HAVING FUN FOR ONCE.

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'D NEVER SEE IT COMING.

WE ONLY ATTACKED
TO SCARE THEM INTO PEACE.

EVERYTHING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS
IS WRAPPED IN PEACE.

YOU HEARD THE PARADES.

THE PEOPLE WANT PEACE.

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.

NO, 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 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 IS ALL IT TAKES

TO PULL OUR GOLD
FROM THE TREASURY.

EVERYTHING YOU BUILT
WILL COLLAPSE.

BY LUNCH, THOSE PARADES
WILL BE RIOTS.

YOUR BANKS WILL BE ON FIRE.

YOU'LL HAVE MORE DEATH
ON YOUR HEAD

THAN WOULD COME FROM ANY WAR.

ONE MORE YEAR, SILAS.

THEN SIGN WHATEVER YOU WANT.

FIND A WAY.

AND HOW DO I LIVE
WITH MYSELF?

THE SAME AS YOU ALWAYS HAVE.

THOMASINA,

YOU NEVER SLEEP EITHER.

THE FAMILY NEEDS 24-HOUR CARE.

YOU ALL RIGHT, SIR?

QUARTERLY REPORTS
ARE THE DEATH OF INNOVATION.

YOU READY ME A CAR?

[somber music]

I WOKE YOU.

I WAS UP.

LONG NIGHT?

SIT.
I MADE SOUP.

WHAT KIND?

THE KIND YOU LIKE.

AH.

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.

(young child)
MAMA.

[coughing]

EASY, PUPPY.

DADDY'S HERE.

TCHK-TCHK-TCHK.

[laughs]

[laughs]

EASY.

[shouting]

WE'RE GETTING HAMMERED OUT HERE!

WHERE'S OUR AIR SUPPORT?

AH!

WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE
EXTREME MEASURES

TO COMPENSATE.

TAKE THEM HEAD-ON,
HIT THE 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 HAD 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.

THEY 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

AS 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 SHEPHERD.

YOU AND I,

WE'VE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES.

BUT ON THE PEOPLE
WE AGREE.

THEY'RE GONNA NEED YOU.

I WANT YOU TO GET ON 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?

THE KIDNAPPINGS.

THOSE SOLDIERS.

THE AMBUSH THAT ENDED
12 LIVES.

THAT WAS YOU.

YOU RECALLED
THEIR AIR SUPPORT.

YOU ALLOWED AN ASSAULT
ON YOUR OWN SOLDIERS.

YOU SACRIFICED YOUR OWN SON.

JACK WAS NEVER SUPPOSED
TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR THERE.

THEY 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.

AND 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.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS?

THEN TO HELL WITH GOD.

YOU ARE JUST A MAN NOW, SILAS.

TRY TO LIVE LIKE ONE...

FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

[helicopter whirring]

WHAT HAPPENED?

GOLIATH'S TOOK OUT
THE ENTIRE FRONT.

WE GOT HIT HARD.

WHERE'S ELI?

[distant gunfire]

[aircraft roaring]

THERE HE IS.

HOW'S THE BIG CITY?

[breaking up]
OH, ELI.

HEY, TELL ME SOMETHING.

UM...

HOW DID YOU KNOW THOSE TANKS
WEREN'T GONNA SHOOT?

COME ON, DON'T MAKE ME DIE
BEFORE I KNOW.

THEIR TANK TEAMS
LIKE TO USE THE EXHAUST STACKS

TO HEAT UP THEIR FIELD RATIONS.

THEY DROP THE ENTREES IN
WHEN THEY'RE IDLING.

YOU CAN HEAR 'EM GUN
THE ENGINES

TO BLOW THE PACKS OUT.

THEY ALWAYS DO IT BEFORE
THEY SHELL.

SO THEY CAN HAVE A HOT MEAL
IN PEACE WHILE WE--

WHILE WE GOT OUR HEADS
IN THE SAND.

[laughs]

[sputters]

[coughing]

HEY, HEY.

[distant explosion]

IT'S NOT GOOD OUT THERE.

IT'S GONNA GET WORSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

OH, NO, YOU'LL FIGURE
SOMETHING OUT.

YOU'RE ALWAYS GOOD
AT FIXING THINGS.

NO.

THEY'RE SO MUCH BIGGER
THAN ME THERE.

BIGGER THAN YOU?

YOU'RE THE KID IN FRONT
OF THE TANK.

YOU'RE A HERO.

[whispering]
I'M NOT WHAT YOU THINK
I AM.

I'M NOT A HERO.

THAT WHOLE PICTURE'S A LIE.

BUT YOU STOOD 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 OFF.

I GOT A LUCKY SHOT IN.

IT WASN'T EVEN LUCK,
IT WAS STUPID

I SURRENDERED.

EVERYONE THINKS I'M BRAVE...

BUT I'M NOT.

BE BRAVE NOW.

[solemn operatic music]

SIR, YOU'D BETTER SEE THIS.

YOU WANT BLOOD?

COME HERE AND TAKE IT!

IT'S FRESH!

STILL WARM FROM THE LIFE
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.

(Abner)
LOST HIS MIND.

GET A GUN ON HIM.

(soldier)
YES, SIR.

[engine starts]

[engine starts]

HOLD.

HOLD.

[music swells]

(Silas)
WE LOOKED INTO OUR HEARTS

AND FOUND A NEW OPPORTUNITY

FOR PEACEFUL DIALOGUE
AND TRUCE.

I PERSONALLY SENT
CAPTAIN SHEPHERD,

OUR BRAVEST SOLDIER,

TO EXTEND THE OFFER
OF MUTUAL SURRENDER TO GATH.

WHERE IS DAVID SHEPHERD NOW?

CAPTAIN SHEPHERD IS SUFFERING
HIS OWN LOSS TODAY.

I HOPE YOU'LL EXTEND
TO HIM

THE PRIVACY HE AND HIS FAMILY
DESERVE.

[solemn music]

"OPPORTUNITY
FOR PEACEFUL DIALOGUE?"

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT THIS?

I'M GOING TO HOLD PEACE TALKS

WITH THE GATH LEADERSHIP
IN THE VINEYARD.

SHEPHERD'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.

SILAS,

YOU JUST TRADED ONE WAR
FOR ANOTHER.

[snaps]

PEN WHICH,

"THE KING'S BROTHER-IN-LAW CAME

AND CONGRATULATED HIM
ON THE TRUCE."

NICE TO HAVE MY OWN COUNTRY
BACK, ABNER.

[engine starts]

YEAH, CALL THE TREASURY.

PULL THE GOLD.

WE'LL SEE HOW LONG
THEY CHEER FOR HIM

WHEN THEY'RE STARVING.

THEN WE HANDLE SHEPHERD.

[door opens]

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.

BE SEEING YOU I SUPPOSE,
SIR.

(Rose)
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.

(Thomasina)
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'S CAR, MA'AM.

A MAID FOUND IT
IN THE BACKSEAT.

IT WAS WITH THIS.

SO THEN I DID GIVE IT
TO YOU.

UNLESS THIS BELONGS
TO SOMEONE ELSE.

OH, JACK.

I LOSE MORE GOOD SECRETARIES
THAT WAY.

(reporter)
IS THAT OFF THE RECORD?

OH, WELL, GO AHEAD.
I OWE YOU ONE.

BUT PLEASE JUST PROMISE
TO MAKE HIM LOOK RAKISH.

I'LL DO MY BEST.

(William)
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.

WHAT SAY YOU?

[door opens]

THERE ARE NO WORDS.

YOUR BROTHER WAS
BY ALL ACCOUNTS

THE KIND OF MAN
THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON.

YOU ARE 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.

FEELS LIKE THE BRAVER THING.

IT'S WHAT ELI WOULD'VE DONE.

(Rose)
SHE LIKES HIM.

YOU LIKE HIM TOO.

HAPPINESS REALLY SUITS HER.

(Rose)
MM-HMM. YES.

OH, IT'S EMBARRASSING.

I AM STILL A BIT
IN AWE OF YOU

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

ALL YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED.

[chuckles]

STILL ACCOMPLISHING.

I'LL LET YOU WORK.

[door shuts]

BE RIGHT BACK.

[Liszt's Un Sospiro]
