Could

you please put me through to the uh

please?

Marian Andrews. Thank you.

Wait, he what?

He has to be available. Tell him it's

Marian Andrews.

What does that mean, a communication

Let me talk to Major Silivichi's aid.

I I don't understand what's going on.

Look,

I need to speak to the general as soon

as possible.

Yes, in Chicago.

Of

course you would.

It's not your place to know, is it?

You are ordered to return immediately

for consultations.

This is a particularly delicate time.

The committee is in receipt of reports

which portray a more disturbing picture.

that in a complex situation such as

this, it is possible to see several

seemingly contradictory aspects.

Precisely

the relationship between the men you

have selected as premier or president or

whatever of the first new North American

country and the party structure seem

confusing from this distance.

sometimes from this distance as well.

Comrade, we cannot afford impreciseness.

There are many in the committee who

believe

the American policy is far too lenient.

Of course,

of course, comrade chairman, when is the

area

to secede? There is no precise time. The

governor general has had no time to

establish. Are the forces uncompromised

and in place?

Then they will provide

the control while your man takes hold.

You have the party infrastructure as

well. Is that not correct?

It is a little more complicated than we

first thought. Of course. Of course. You

might suggest to your man that he

reminds people that however difficult

things may seem now,

they can get worse. We can guarantee

that.

We will greet you at the airport,

comrade, as befits the conqueror of

America.

We have reached Colonel Denis, sir.

You are perceptive of these subtleties.

I am never sure the obvious is not what

ultimately matters the most.

Moscow reminds us the only time which

matters is Moscow time.

Washington.

Well, tomorrow is

I will leave tomorrow morning as soon as

possible.

Among those things, you are arranging

tomorrow. I would consider it a personal

favor if we set in motion whatever

measures are necessary for Marian to

find her son.

Of

course.

Good night, girl. Good night, sir.

It's okay. Sorry.

Sorry, sir, but the uh area advises on

the secure phone.

All right.

Hello. Try to put things in as good an

order as you can and get back here no

later than midday. Can you do that?

Well, sure. I guess so. What's up? I

have to go to Washington. Anything the

matter? Honestly, I don't know. These

kind of things always make me a little

nervous.

I didn't think anything rattled you. I

have discovered my weakness. Phone calls

in the middle of the night. Yeah, I know

what you mean. Kind of like the damn

broke and flooded out your new crop.

Very good. An excellent homaly for the

new Abraham Lincoln.

I'm sorry to have woken you.

[Applause]

All right. Easy enough. Pride. Joy. Get

in there. Get in there. Come on. Get in

there. Pride. Joy.

Joy. Come on. Come on.

Well, you're not doing any good holding

up that shovel.

Here, come on over here. Pick a hold of

his hauler. I don't know very much about

horses. We don't have to know anything.

Actually, I'm afraid of horses. Well,

it's a stupid thing to be afraid of a

dumb animal. Look, it was the same with

the car driving. I never learned how to

drive a car. We came to New York and

they didn't What's that got to do with

anything? Here, come on over here.

That's just an example of how how bad it

is an idea to to send people like you to

the countryside. All right. Here. He's

not going to bite you here. Take a hold

of his holder. There. Hell. You're not

too old to learn.

I'll have you under an old fool farmer

before you know it. All right. Now,

easy.

Pride. All right. Now, come on. Get in

there. Try

it. Get in there. Try. Get in there.

Come on.

[Music]

[Music]

Yeah.

What can I do for you?

Grandpa,

what the hell? It's not

my grandpa. I'll be damned.

I know, boy. I know. Don't you think I

recognize my handsomest, ugliest

grandson? I recognize my old coot of a

grandpa. Well, there you are. Hi,

grandpa.

You old horsey old m. Oh, let me look at

you. Oh my god, you're all grown up. You

look great, Grandpa. Y'all still

kicking, I guess. Now then tell me,

William, who's this? What the hell are

you doing here? Well, that's Clayton. We

came through the Underground Railroad.

Clayton,

the what? We've been in trucks, on

rafts, we even rode the rails. The

rails? You know, jump trains? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Okay. Come on. Let's go to the

house. You'll tell me all about it. Hey,

Derer, come here.

I want you to meet my handsomest,

ugliest 14-year-old grandson. Hi. And

this is Clayton. Hello. Well, come on.

Take care of the horses later. Just let

them rest. You know anything about

horses? No. Well, I've been having a

hell of a time. Maybe you can get me a

hand. Okay. You have to teach me all

about this.

[Music]

All right. Now, I want everybody to

remember you are to keep together. All

right, let's bring in the band.

Ready?

You all right? I'm fine. Very

impressive. Scary.

Yeah. Well, it's even a little scary

when it's your face up there. Whatever

this all means. All right. All right.

Doesn't matter. Let me hear from the

heart.

What do you say?

[Applause]

1 2 3.

[Music]

Ah, Colonel Pete.

Colonel Goff. It's my wife Amanda.

Mrs. Bradford. What a pleasure to see

you.

I am sorry about the trouble you had in

Milford.

I was very impressed with how quickly

you could help. I wondered about that.

Well, soon your husband will be able to

accomplish much the same thing.

Forgive me for asking, but

if you had the power to stop what was

going on, how did it happen in the first

place? No, no, no. It's a fair question.

I guess you could say that there is

there are some things which are set in

motion

in such a general way that one has

little control over the specifics

until something arises which can be

dealt with.

So power when it's responsible for

creating the circumstances for evil is

no one's fault while power when it's

exercised against that same evil is to

someone's credit. As Peter takes

responsibility for the entire area, the

less ability he will have to deal with

some specific things which may be very

important to someone else. I hope he can

use that power for good.

Power for good exists only with power.

And power is not easy and it's not

always clear.

And it is never cheap.

I'm afraid your friend, Mr. Milford, may

have found that out too late. Deon, he's

been arrested trying to regain his

children. One is safe and the other is

missing. Oh, what?

Where is he? He's in our custody.

Can we see him? Of course. Now, if you

will excuse me, there are some things I

must discuss with your husband and Mrs.

Bradford.

Your husband needs you and and I believe

your people need you, too.

To see if the powerful good can be

more successful than the alternatives. I

think it can.

I hope someday I'll see that you were

able to do that.

I am certain of it.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Peter, would you walk me into my car?

Marion has ordered your friend to be

held for psychiatric evaluation.

I've guaranteed his delivery to a

hospital in Omaha. It's of her choice.

No, I imagine there's some kind of

program there. Program

condition.

I've also authorized a limited re-entry

into Milford. What? To conduct a search

for the boy. Now, I have advised Marian

that you should be allowed to administer

the situation. It would be unwise to

openly oppose Marion on this. She's a

great capacity to disrupt and undermine

you.

You're going to have to become a better

chess player.

Peter, you know,

in order to become a better chess

player, you'll have to sacrifice some

pieces to win.

Be ready. You're going to have to secede

as soon as possible.

Sooner than you may think is prudent.

Now, who do you give it to?

Procedural things. You don't have to

check with me. Otherwise, there'll be

morning briefings on the comm line and

uh whenever something needs my

attention. When should I send the order

for the search? He authorized for

magistrate under sun in Milford. Major

G.

Is he restrainable?

Yes, sir. He's a good officer. He's

Veniti. Sir, Miss Ballot, sir. We found

her. She's been staying with one of the

actors, sir, from the theater company.

She's not in custody. We didn't know.

Sir,

get her. Bring her here, sir. Yes.

No. No. Uh,

take her to the apartment. I have to go

by there on the way to the airport. The

Milford search, sir.

Authorize a platoon level entry only and

uh with the cooperation of the local

authorities. Major Gertman is not to

accompany the search party.

Look, honey, this situation with Devon

is very tricky. There's a lot I don't

know about what Marian controls or

doesn't control. And until I can

consolidate my position, I can't make a

move. I'm going to go see him. You know

how I feel about that. Just think of me

as your conscience doing something that

your position won't allow you to do.

I'm sorry that

that didn't come out the way I intended

for it to.

Maybe it did.

It's just that he's our friend.

All right.

When can we go?

You go. I can probably help him more

later if I don't compromise myself with

Marion now.

If we're going to be able to save him,

we've got to get him to give Billy back

to her.

I think that's going to be the

trade-off.

If he'll go along with that, maybe we

can save him from the camp or maybe

assassination. You can't save him.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. If

Marion wants him dead,

I can't help him. Unless maybe we can

give her something she wants more.

What have you decided to do? Be

discreet.

Use the Russians.

Take mentor with you.

Got to go.

Do you realize

most creative school of American

architecture

originated in Chicago?

No sir, I didn't.

How long have you been here?

3 years.

You think the tour of duty is too long?

I'm happy to serve however long the

party judges necessary.

Of course.

Are you all right? You bullies break

into my friend's apartment, beat him up,

and take me prisoner. There was not to

be any kind of How would you know? All

you do is press a button, and something

happens somewhere. Kimberly, I'm sorry.

I don't have much time. How surprising.

When do you ever have much time? What if

I had been hurt? You had an assigned

bodyguard, you under my protection. What

the hell does that mean? Are you God?

That whatever you decide is going to

happen happens.

No.

Kimberly,

we are special people. People like us.

We live in what we are doing. We live at

the edge of our accomplishments.

Now, you

have everything. You

are a privileged person in a society

where few have privileges.

I protect you. I tolerate your

idiosyncrasies.

I just know I can't do it anymore.

Look,

I want you to come with me to

Washington.

I can't.

Not now. Why not? I don't know. It's too

fast. It's

something happened to me. The AT door.

The one in whose apartment you were

staying? No.

When you left

after the raid on the club, I needed you

desperately.

It was as though you were gone

just like that, like some sort of dream

I'd had.

So, I left here

this apartment.

I was running away.

I didn't know what from or what to.

I've always been afraid of what's out

there

or what wasn't.

But I discovered something.

All that outlaw theater I had done,

I never understood. Don't tell me you

joined the resistance.

I don't expect you to take anything I do

seriously. I take you much more

seriously than I do the resistance.

I know that's your attitude towards me,

toward everything here.

But I found something. And it doesn't

matter whether you respect it or not.

It's for me.

What is your discovery? I'm going to

tell you.

Not because I think you want to know,

but because

I realized I'm an American.

Yes. No,

but I never understood what that meant

before.

I was always just this person,

you know, living my life.

I never had a relation any sort of

relationship to the idea of

of being an American.

I mean, I never felt that all these all

these people

that all I know this will sound funny

that all these people were my countrymen

that we were part of the same thing.

I know some people called me a traitor,

but it never had any meaning.

It was always just a word somebody used

because they were jealous.

I understand it now

and I I I can't be with you.

I love you.

I really do. Maybe I didn't face that in

myself before.

[Music]

Goodbye, Andre.

[Music]

Goodbye, my little actress.

[Applause]

You must miss me.

I will.

I will

resend the cancellation of your play

if you like. Kimberly, were you in the

crowd today at the courthouse?

Devon Milford was there.

Yes.

Thank you for being honest.

[Applause]

It's all right.

I do not see my role as a reincarnation

of the vice presidency. I don't either.

I see a great deal of the load going

through you. Naturally, you'll be in

charge of all party contacts in control

of. Is the party structure something you

intend to use against me? Of course not.

It's simply that the organization is in

place and will respond to the area's

needs better through me. I just want to

make sure we're on the same side. I

assume we are. But let me ask you,

why has your wife gone to see Devon?

I sure wish I knew what was going on as

well as you do. That's why I'm

invaluable as your deputy. I thought

it'd be a good way to try to find out

where your son is. Really? And to work

out a way for Devon not to be killed.

What makes you think he will be killed?

I just assume it's a possibility. A

greater one if Billy's not returned.

Billy will be found with or without

Deon. In any case, if Devon's

cooperative, I don't see tricked. You

mean

if Billy's returned? I don't see what

purpose Devon's death serves.

Except it makes us look a little

bloodthirsty.

I don't want that image. You don't want

that image.

I might agree to a program of behavior

modification.

No prison.

I'd agree to prison

short term if he returns. Billy,

I think we can work together.

You're tough.

You don't get much for nothing

or old time's sake.

It's time to stop compromising. It's a

tactic.

Giving Billy to Marion is a tactic to

save your life. For God's sake, my

life's not what's important. What's

important is that we need a deeper kind

of resistance than anything we've ever

thought about.

We need to be for something. Not just

against the Russians. It's enough. 6

years in prison is enough. You've given

enough.

Are these walls enough? Aren't you tired

of all this? For a long time, I felt

like I was some kind of martyr. Let down

by all the people I was trying so hard

to save. I was so

disappointed in them for not seeing the

truth, for not caring about the truth,

or living up to their ideals.

I felt like I'd offered them a chance to

save themselves and nobody responded.

Maybe they didn't know how. I didn't.

It wasn't them.

I was the one who lost the faith

in the human spirit.

They haven't given up.

They're not broken.

No matter what happened,

their spirit's still alive.

They just needed someone to remind them.

Why does it have to be you? It's not me.

It's all of us. I'm not what matters.

You are what matters. You matter to me.

I love you.

There. That's it.

I always have.

[Music]

Amanda,

don't don't touch me. I'm really mad.

You're stupid. You're stupid to risk

your life. And there's another way.

Don't laugh. Don't you dare laugh.

before when you were talking about

Marion and the kids and and how they

sustained you in prison.

How do you think I felt? It was never a

mention of me keeping you alive.

I wish I'd been the one keeping you

alive. Wish it had been me you were

thinking of.

Oh god, I feel like a 16-year-old

[Music]

at best.

[Music]

Oh, damn.

You all right? Yeah. I didn't cut the

juggler. You trying, Lindsay? Maybe.

How nervous I am.

You'd think something important was

happening today.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Yeah.

How was he? He was all right.

Better than he was in Milford.

Trying to get Billy up. I don't know.

I can't help him if he doesn't. I know.

I told him that.

[Music]

Stupid.

Stupid.

There were no survivors.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Thank you. If you just leave me alone,

It's almost time.

You all right? Yeah, it's just

It's nice to know that you're at least a

little bit like the rest of us. We're
