[Music]

the committee has met with respect to

the horrendous invasion of the Town by

the Exiles during the Lincoln Day

celebration and there is some concern as

to what action you intend to

take there seems little to be done well

they broke the curfew violated the terms

of their

Exile they are back on the

camp well the committee wants to know

what uh action you intend to take

without the co-operation of the local

officials we are helpless to act unless

there's a clear threat to the community

it's clearly

it the committee feels that uh it's very

real

danger to the community who knows when

they might decide to violate the curfew

again we are afraid that bad examples

been set not only for the Exiles but for

certain elements in the

town look if you allow all controls to

slip

what well who knows what might happen I

might agree age with you but I'm

helpless to act

you somebody better tell your superiors

there's a problem

here and in our next report to the area

advisory committee we're going to have

to

discuss

accountability

accountability

[Music]

mini Al bit I assume you're my welcoming

committee well actually not I'm coming

surprises isn't

treatment for someone who's only been

nominated for an office that doesn't yet

exist and where are the other nominees

you to some inescapable

conclusions doesn't mean I understand

minutes

otherwise

[Music]

for

ladies and

gentlemen in Russia where as most of you

know I come from we have a saying

actually we have a saying for

practically everything it is of course

untranslatable but it it is uh something

like this make of an adversary a friend

and together you will plant a field make

of him a slave and you cannot bury him

enough times unfortunately we do not

always follow our old

sayings however here we would like to

speed the steps for us to return to our

own country leaving behind us

friends tonight we have a man who will

help us to do that more

quickly I would like to propose a toast

to the first governor general governor

general of the central administrative

area Mr Peter

Bradford

Cheers Cheers

Che what happened to the election the

other candidates

they lost just like that just like that

the results of the referendum will be

announced on the national network

following your speech to the Joint

session of Congress what if I don't want

to be

appointed someone else will

be the result is the same to

us the difference is between you and

your

people 1932

Hennessy

I'm afraid it'll be a little lost on

me a man of simple

taste I'm afraid to say I'm a man of

complex

tastes I'd never really be any good at

being one of the proletariat I

serve you think of yourself as

ordinary and yet you command the respect

people trust

you maybe that's because I'm not that

far ahead of

them

do you realize this Brandy was put down

just as Hitler was rising to power in

Germany anything older than me I kind of

lose interest very

American you're not intrigued by the

gations of

History a capitalist and a communist

drinking a Brandy from the time of

fascism's greatest power think of it at

this very time that other great fascist

Stalin was under the guise of

socialism murdering millions and

imprisoning millions

more I'm partial to this

year it is the year my grandfather died

in the

gulak I'm

sorry I don't know what to

say my grandfather is now a hero of the

Soviet Union posthumously bestowed

Stalin dead and discredited my

grandfather dead and

recited and his grandson one of the few

responsible for the elevation of Mother

Russia to the only true power in the

world we learn how to

survive you will

too never completely trust the man who

will not get drunk with

you the irony is of

course that my grandfather poly

rewarded

died suffering and

disgraced filled with hate and

hopelessness

alone just he in the

heart frozen Gra round of

Siberia

in ain't that good

news I've got a crown up in the Kingdom

ain't that good

news I'm going to lay down this

world shoulder of my

CR take it home to Jesus that

[Music]

heartom

thats I'm to lay down this world the

shoulder of my

cross take to Jesus that good

news

Pit

[Music]

Stop

[Applause]

[Applause]

heart heart

oh incredible isn't

it where's it come

from what difference does it

[Applause]

[Music]

make

[Music]

if I could find

that you

know that was what was so wonderful to

me about

America for all your flaws you had such

Spirit maybe you weren't so different

after all may surprise you but in many

ways Russians can be fiercely

independent

but our

system 75 years of

socialism has produced the people who

wish to be led they wish the government

to tell them what is right and what is

wrong they rely on the government to

keep in check their baser instincts

their their selfishness their greed so

they no longer have to make those

judgments

themselves oh they still have those base

instincts but

they come out in destructive

ways like the behavior of the repressed

children isn't it funny for you it is

the bad behavior of spoiled children for

us the bad behavior of repressed

children think about spoiled children as

they never know they're spoiled until it

is too

late for us just a simple fact that if

we could neutralize America and take our

proper place in the

world the Communist man would

emerge so now we control most of the

world and we don't have enough competent

people to run it we're failing because

our system has produced the people who

don't understand the idea of choice they

can't make an independent decision

always every everything must be must be

checked to the next level and then the

next until finally it's safely within

the government you know the only virtue

we still have to

people is a kind of Madness of a frenzy

for a living

life we

love passionately we love those who

close to irrationally we love our

country not the USSR but but Russia our

homeland and uh of course this has been

very effective in keeping people in line

whether under the Zar or the Bullet

buau how did you

win in some ways it's more than you

had you had political

freedom but you lost your

passion you'd become embarrassed of

passion of feeling strongly about any

anything you never took an interest in

the rest of the world and understanding

the rest of the

world you always saw things through your

own Vision you wanted things to be right

by which you meant moral and Democratic

and your own

way

so when you found yourself the most

powerful country in the

world the only clear policy you could

agree on was being anti-communist and

with such a

with such a simplistic Viewpoint you

began to miss the point of a lot of what

was going on in the

world people who look to America as an

example for their own aspirations found

themselves opposed by you because

because we supported

them one of the ways we were able to

user the United Nations was because when

the nations of the world rightly or

wrongly began to Pur receive you as the

problem you gave up you took your ball

and you went

home when there was a conflict in the

world you either reacted as a strong man

bending backwards for fear of offending

someone or suddenly thrashing about

wildly in some futile and foolish

attempt to prove you were not

weak so ultimately you found yourselves

alone feared envied

hated how could we not

win what lure would be

enough for you to betray your country

you

ask I will tell you

honestly this

once my first posting

was to England well England

was

England but then I was posted to

America to San

Francisco and I

thought what a wonderful country what a

wonderful test of

myself if I could find myself in the

currentless water

maybe I could

discover my

soul not my Russian soul but my soul as

an

individual maybe if things have been

different maybe you took the LW after

all you think that's what this

is

no America has

lost and

I have

[Music]

lost

[Music]

oh

[Applause]

what's your identification

number how

long not

long you got family in Chicago my

children I'm going to you're going to

what you're going to see see him join

them kidnap them what hey stop being

mean I'll start with seeing

them look I appreciate the help maybe if

you would just point me in the right

direction you uh haven't finished your

soup some of us get real put off when

people don't finish our

sup

please

be on the Underground

Railroad one of the oldest railroads in

America same placees slaves use when

they were escaping the South goes

everywhere all directions people started

running and the railroad got

resurrected the Lord works in mysterious

ways what he's trying to say is that we

can get you to Chicago a whole lot

faster and safer than you get there on

your own if at

all I'd appreciate apprciate that Devin

Milford I just been sitting here trying

to figure why you look so

familiar I'm sorry it's a mistake people

make sometimes that's too

bad cuz I sure like to shake that man's

hand

someday what if I were to tell you that

I know somebody in Chicago who could

find Devon milford's kids for

him now would that interest you at all

I'm Melanie Blackstone and this is my

husband the Reverend James

Blackstone I'm Clayton

Colton you into something you must be

doing

something whatever it is count us

in bet you got a lot of people ready you

know

no I just need to see my

children well then we'll just have to

see what we can do about that and let

the good Lord take care of the

rest you haven't told him that I'm to be

his

Deputy not yet find

print soon our ability to help you will

be

limited you'll have to survive on your

own I wonder if we shouldn't show a

little bit more concern for Mr

Bradford well it's nice to have your

respect Andre I wouldn't bet against her

Andre she is a woman who loves a combat

too dangerous for

me well aren't we fortunate we all want

the same thing yes power the power to

make a better world yes a better Vault

power is like six we surround our last

of cap of love but did maybe it is

simply last after

all you didn't tell me about this little

detail it is nothing I think Marion has

her own agenda I don't trust her and we

do not trust

you to be precise the Soviet Union

general sanov doesn't trust that you are

the right man for the

job you are not a party man to them that

means you are uncontrollable and thus un

trustworthy Maran on the other hand is

committed to her ideology and to her own

power two quite trustworthy

qualities they say you was not having

enough at stake I have my country at

stake well I have persuaded General

sanov and he in turn partially against

his better judgment has persuaded the

Kremlin that you are the right man but

he needs some guarantee what if I don't

do it someone else

will someone less capable less convinced

I set your timetable back and that would

be dangerous for your hope for America

and for mine and what is your hope for

America to salvage as much as

[Music]

possible

[Music]

okay

[Music]

American

volunteers yeah labor to the Soviet

Union there are a lot of desperate

workers 5year

contracts there's a special ration

appication for the people

here low wages but kind of the ultimate

company Town deal any of them come back

it's too early to

[Music]

say they make it sound good the way they

present it something to do with your

skills they've given up on

America haven't

[Music]

you the Exiles have broken out of the

camp and demonstrated in the Lincoln Day

Parade in violation of restricted areas

curfew and engaging in unlawful

political activity inciting to Riot what

is the status there is rampant in

subordination they are defined and if

the situation is permitted to continue

we will lose control not just of the

Exiles but the entire area the authority

of the unit must be maintained I wish to

conduct a disciplinary reprisal against

the camp K denisov will not authorize an

action like that something has to be

done you are authorized under your

standing orders to take whatever

measures You' did necessary to prevent

the Rebellion you are suggesting I do

what is necessary to stop this

Insurrection you must do whatever you

feel is necessary under your basic

responsibilities yes

sir

[Music]

[Music]

this is the yellow tag yeah from the

border hold it he's got to be cleared

what the hell do they have to bring him

all the way in here easy easy somebody

want to sign me off on this you'll have

to

[Music]

wait

[Music]

[Music]

this is your official notification that

the United Nations Special Service Unit

will be conducting Maneuvers in and

around the town of Milford commencing at

0700 on the

28th well is there something you want me

to do sure don't need need my permission

you will isue an advisory to Town's

people to stay indoors and off the

streets and Roads

terrific he had no choice I suppose when

one becomes president one has a tendency

to justify a

predecessor a way of ensuring whoever

follows some tolerance of your decision

right or wrong he saved a nuclear

Holocaust in my opinion the way he

handled the transition of power he saved

thousands of lives maybe millions and

what would have been futile resistance

how can anyone know that how could he

have not given us a chance you had a

chance I had a chance we all had

chances have you ever been to the Middle

East Mr

Bradford no for hundreds of years the

ordinary

person the traitor the person trying to

survive has learned not to approach his

problems directly it

assemble seemed to support one thing and

next the exact

opposite all because that was the means

of survival in the place that fate had

them placed in they were born make love

have children are well off or poor and

die much in the same way as free men

next comes freedom is within each of us

you know why it is this is not an issue

of

freedom but

survival I know you don't like

me you see me as a sto a

collaborator I'm not a party

member I sit on a national advisory

committee equivalent to the Central

Committee in the Soviet Union but I do

not vote I I have no

power a figurehead

only

the only real effect I can have is to

create the impression that things aren't

as bad as they

are to give our people

time the opportunity to

survive I guess I just never realized

I'd gone so

far we had lost so much

control totalitarianism doesn't need

armies it only needs to control a couple

of things the media and the ability to

dispense privilege to some and withhold

it from others and of course a weak and

divided people

helps I don't think I can do it it's a

little late for second

thoughts I had some illusion I could

help bring it

back I believe you can do

something something finally good for the

people of your area possibly for every

everyone but it will require a lot of

compromise you may even learn to be

Middle Eastern

[Music]

Traer

it's a border check we're about to enter

the late great state of

[Music]

Indiana

[Music]

[Music]

been to the industrial area recently not

recently you're in for a treat used to

be America's musom steel aluminum Autos

rubber now most everything's closed

down they wanted a country which didn't

have a productive

capacity

[Music]

I guess we're well on our way to giving

it up before they

[Music]

got what are they doing trying to get

across they're from the cities mostly

which are

dying plans are all but down some of

them are limping along

they're allowed out for most of them

this is it I'll never get permission to

cross I'll just hang around someone

little drift back to wherever it was

that came

[Music]

from American

refugees yeah it's almost like a

contradiction in terms

[Music]

is

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Mr Milford you're awake he's in an 80%

physical

block my name is Helen Justin I'm your

doctor or at least one of them you had a

scary time you were blown up nearly

killed yourself

come

on is anything no everything's intact

you won't be hobbling around on anything

artificial how long not for some time

I'm afraid how soon you get out depends

on how well you do with

treatment there's no restraints we have

a little rule here if you make it at the

door you're

free you seem to have a lot of very

angry and unhelpful

feelings let me explain what we're going

to try to accomplish

here that's to save you the time and

effort of trying to fight the

treatment there've been so many bad

things which created your antisocial

Behavior we're going to help you forget

those things I think you'll find when

you realize it's inevitable things will

go a lot smoother for you and be more

comfortable just

rest put yourself in our

hands you'll be

fine better in fact than you thought

possible this day

dream

that he comes

back he's on a

cycle and he says to

me that he couldn't live without

me he says that no matter what he'll

take care of

me

I'll be all

[Music]

right be all

[Music]

[Music]

right I didn't go with

them well I don't think either of you

were ring you don't know Mom you have

Daddy I had a choice

once but he was

scary very

scary too

[Music]

scary

I'm very glad I married your

father what a bonus I would have

missed

you your brother's gun the

Hulk you could have skipped

[Music]

that

[Music]

if he loves you enough he'll come

back if he

can and if he does come back if you

still love him

[Music]

enough it'll make a

difference you know

[Music]

mom you're supposed to be cheering me

up

well best I could

[Music]

do my dearest

Amanda I'm writing to you now because I

can't reach you talk to

you it's become a second nature to me to

have you part of everything I felt or

did decisions I

[Music]

made everything has moved so fast since

I got here it's as though I'm suddenly

so far from Milford that it's already a

part of my

past

[Music]

maybe I should tell you about the

president what a sad

man but somehow

there's something Noble in the

humiliation he has carried for us

all maybe that's a greater service than

leading an army into

battle who

knows I wonder about

myself the choices I suddenly have

what if they're the wrong

ones what struck me is that I'm about to

become a part of a system which some

future generation is going to rebel

against I'll be hated by people I don't

even know who don't understand why

something was

done just as all the kids growing up now

don't have any idea of the difference

between the symbol of Abraham Lincoln

and what he actually stood

[Music]

for you can't look at those eyes and not

think of what being an American has

meant now there's an end to

it soon there will be no

America it will be

history quickly lost and distorted like

Mr Lincoln

himself I don't

know I think of Jackie and

Scott we wanted to protect them maybe we

were trying not to infect them with our

ideas which seem to have gone so

wrong I suppose there will have to be

new

revolutions with new generations who

will have to discover the values which

our forefathers handed down to

us if those truths stop being

real maybe it's better to let him

go let some new generation discovers

though for the first

time maybe

Freedom it's just one of those things

you can't

[Music]

having passed the resolution

unanimously and directing that said

resolution will be presented to the

several states pursuant to the

ratification the chair would like to

invite the members to welcome before

this body the man who has been chosen by

the people of the central administrative

area to be the first governor general of

a regional joining of States Mr Peter

Bradford

Mr

Speaker Mr

President Mr Vice

President members of

Congress I come before you today with a

great sense of

humility never expected to be

here like most

Americans the course of my life has not

been what I expected it to be

but I wonder if George

Washington Thomas

Jefferson could have imagine the changes

in our country just 30 years after their

lifetimes I wonder at the amazement of

Abraham

Lincoln if he would have seen the

changes in the 19th

century yet with all the

changes remained our

country and

survived today we are facing changes

which some of us find

abhorent others

hopeful some see it as the

end others as a

beginning I come from a part of the

country where in many ways life is

simple

predictable reliable

in the spring when the ground is thawed

we plant a

seed and in the summer it grows to

maturity and is

harvested and when we plant

again it's not the same stock of corn or

grain which we saw standing beautiful in

the field last

summer but the seed is the

same and given our time our

effort Good

Fortune a new crop will emerge which can

feed hungry

people the seed is in the

ground it is the

history and experience of 200

years I promise you I will give it my

faith and my

life with the help of the the people of

my

area the heartland of this

country we will see a Bountiful

Harvest
