All language subtitles for THOSE WHO DESERVE

I'm gonna go on up.

Try to stop thinking about it.

It's just these... these doctors.

Never knowing whether or not
they're telling the truth.

Charles, you worry
as if that's gonna help,

as if there's something
you can do about it.

I just feel so helpless.

I've always been able to take
care of my own problems, Gloria.

Put it in His hands, Charles.

There's no problem
He can't solve.

There's no miracle
He can't perform...

if we have faith.

You get a good night's sleep.

I guarantee you won't feel
like this in the morning.

Gloria?

Hm?

Something the matter?

There's someone in the house.

Don't let her die.

Don't let her die.

It's so warm!

Uh, to tell you the truth,

I'm not 100 percent sure
I'm ready to be a landlord.

Since you're here,
you might as well have a look.

I assume you have references.

If you don't mind my asking,
how old are you?

You seem a little old
for a sophomore.

I got sidetracked.

Military service.

Oh, what branch?

Army.

Got laid up with an injury.

Long rehab.

Hate to hear that.

At least you made it back
in one piece.

You said something
about references.

Got your military ID on you?

Yes, sir.

That's reference enough for me.

You want the place,
rent's due first of the month.

Move in now?

Looks like you're already in.

Jonathan Wyndham.

Clement Greene.

All settled?

Yes, thank you.

Feels strange having someone

living in this room again.

You have a son.

I do.

In fact, I have 37 kids.

When our own went to college
and moved on,

Sheila and I...
that was Mrs. Greene...

became foster parents,

mostly kids transitioning
through the system:

37, 36 plus Christopher.

Thirty-seven.

We were aiming for 40,
and then...

Sheila got sick.

Where are your people?

There's just me.

Ah, Harvest Social tonight.

Big street party on campus.

Why don't you get out
and go explore?

Good evening.

We have an unexpected treat
for you tonight.

Someone who's done more
than anyone I know

to protect the heritage
and the integrity

of our great state.

Please, welcome Chief Justice
Melanie Merrill.

Ah, Jonathan,
I wasn't sure you'd pick up.

I'm sorry to bother you,
but I need to ask a favor.

I ran off and I left
my notebook on the table

with some papers in there that
I need to give to somebody.

...but across this beautiful
state of ours.

I can't get away.

Any chance that you
could drop 'em by?

The Women's Club,
the Harvest Social.

Yeah, could you come now?

I know it's a lot to ask,
but it really would help me out.

- Thanks.
- ...to which we have said...

- Yeah, yeah, see you in a few.
- No, thank you, not in Alabama!

Hello, dear.

Where have you been?

- I never see you.
- I've been busy.

Margaret, I am so glad
that you could make it.

Margaret is working
with Humanities

to secure funding
for her program.

- Is she?
- Yes, she is.

Tell me, James, where would you
put my chances right now?

Well, you know, uh,

there are many factors
to be considered.

Oh, well, now, I'm sure
that with a good word

from the right people

that Margaret could have
anything she wanted.

If only she'd ask.

It's all a matter
of ambition, dear.

I'll keep that in mind.

Well, if you'll follow me,
I would love

to have you meet
the new member on the board.

All right.

Look at you.

Would it kill you
to wear some makeup?

I will twine, I will mingle
my raven black hair

With the roses so red
and the lilies so fair

And the myrtle so bright
with the emerald hue

The pale amanita...

Hi, I'm just looking
to drop this off...

Jonathan, you're a life-saver!

Come have a drink
while you're here.

- Ah, no, I'll head out.
- Nonsense!

You went to all the trouble
of coming here.

Wait, you didn't sign in!

Jonathan, this is Margaret.

Margaret, this is, uh...

my roommate, at least
for the semester, Jonathan.

...my idols were clay

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

What could be wrong?
Everything's perfectly fine.

I'll be right back.

Don't let her drink anymore.

...and promised to love

And to cherish me
over all others above

I'm gonna get another one.
You want one?

No.

Suit yourself.

Margaret...

No words of farewell

Margaret!

Now I know what Clement
said to you.

He thinks I'm drunk.

He told you to stop me
if I get another drink.

Well, who does he think he is?

And who the hell are you?

I am Jonathan Wyndham.

...his wildwood flower

And I'm a threat
to everyone around me.

Ah, Clement.

Shit.

When were you discharged?

Who said I was...

January.

Conditional?

Honorable.

Two tours of active combat.

Second Battalion, 7th Cav.

I might've served a third,
but my unit was ambushed

during Operation Al-Fajr.

Seven men killed.

I was the only survivor.

Captured...

and tortured.

I would've been killed.

I was the next in line.

The cameras were rolling.

I was looking
into the guy's eyes.

Could smell his cologne.

He asked me...
He asked me if...

- What happened?
- And fire.

- Missiles away.
- Hellfire strike

took out the entire stronghold,

blew off the roof,
tore out the walls,

everyone killed...

...except one.

Severe TBI.

Three months in Brookhaven
where they cracked...

Shut the fuck up.

In the joyous days of childhood

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean shut up,

I just meant...

Look, these people,

they can't hear that.

They don't understand.

Shit.

Hello, James.

Margaret, I hope you don't think

that I was hedging before.

It's just that...

James Newhall, this is...

Jonathan Wyndham!

You know,

"The Last Man Standing."

Fox did this whole big special.

Wow!

I'm honored.

Oh, thank you for your service,

first of all.

Is he one of yours?

No, I, I just...

Well, if Jonathan Wyndham
were on your team...

Songs of heaven which you sang
with childish voice

Well, it's a pleasure
to meet you, and, uh,

welcome to New Canaan.

Talk soon.

Or are songs of earth
your choice?

Will the circle be unbroken

- All right...
- Hang on.

- By and by, Lord, by and by
- Wait.

This is me.

This is where we meet.

Tuesdays at 7.

If you wanna drop by, drop by.

I don't understand.

Clement told you, right?

The support group?

It's group therapy.

I connect veterans
with service providers.

DDs and OTHs mostly,
but even general discharges

have to fight for benefits
these days.

It's criminal.

Margaret Merrill?

That's right.

Any relation to Judge Merrill?

You mean Justice Merrill.

Yeah, she used to be my mother.

In the sky

Will the circle be unbroken

Maybe I'll see you Tuesday?

By and by, Lord, by and by

Yeah. Maybe.

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

You turned
the security bolt again.

I need you to unlock it.

Dad?

Is everything all right?

Jesus, Holy Mary...

Please don't hurt the baby!

He's my grandson.

He's my daughter's boy.

She's been through so much.

She would just die
if something happened to him.

We all would.

The only way to punish them
for the past...

...is to deprive them
of the future.

No!

It won't hurt at all.

I promise.

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Help them!

Help them.

Jonathan.

I was worried about you.

Why?

Well, just...

strange days, that's all.

It's all happening
right now on Route 46,

so shop today
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

and tomorrow from noon...

What do you know
about Margaret Merrill?

Margaret Merrill?

Never mind.

Jonathan?

Too late for a cup of coffee?

Never too late.

Sit. Relax.

You called me to the party

so you could introduce me
to her.

Why?

You don't beat around
the bush much, do you?

Was it so I could get treatment

in her group?

Or so I could help her
secure funding for her program?

Maybe both.

Maybe neither.

To tell you the truth,
I don't know why.

You just strike me
as a couple people

that might have something
in common and...

get along together.

Is she married?

No.

Seeing someone?

Oh, um, a...

Margaret is a...

complicated individual.

Was born and raised
in this town,

yet she never really fit in.

Maybe that's why she's so good
with people who, uh,

have trouble adjusting.

Like me.

Yeah.

You're thinking
what I'm thinking,

aren't you?

Hello?

I'll be out in a second.

Just cleaning up.

Oh.

Tuesday night.

You're a little late.

Um, you know,
regardless of the impression

you may have gotten
the other night,

I'm not looking to recruit you.

You know, as advocate
or spokesperson

or anything like that,

so if that's why
you didn't come to the meeting,

don't let that discourage you.

No, I know that.

I wanted to see you.

Sure.

Tell me what's going on.

I...

I'm interested in seeing you.

Okay.

I appreciate you
coming out here,

although I would've preferred
you come to the actual meeting,

but...

this sort of thing

isn't permitted
between group leader

and participants.

I know.

That's why I didn't come
to the meeting.

Listen...

You seem like
a nice enough guy, Jonathan,

but I'm just getting
the feeling...

Good or bad?

Um...

Good night, Jonathan.
Thank you for stopping by.

I didn't mean anything by it.

Hold up a second.

You...

Do you have anyone
you can talk to?

Other people
with shared experience.

Shared experience?

No one from my unit survived.

No one can understand
what I went through.

One drink.

Well?

What?

Is she interested in you or not?

You know me.

I can never tell.

But I think...

maybe.

You'll make her interested.

You'll find a way.

I'll help.

Judge Merrill's daughter.

We were looking for a way,
and now we have it.

Oh, we're going to twist
the knife

right inside
her baby girl's heart.

Jonathan?

Yes?

Don't.

Girls!

You're going to be late
for church.

Whoa, whoa,
you're gonna need warmer coats.

They're in the back chifforobe.

Okay.

- Here.
- I'm tired of you

acting like such a baby, Louisa.

- Come on!
- What are you doing?

Please!

What's wrong?

You will not harm these girls.

You will leave this house at...

Look at me.

Can you see me?

Do you know the name Berenice?

She was a nine-year-old
little girl.

Do you remember her?

Oh, yes.

She remembers.

In Jesus's name, spare me!

Jonathan!

There are witnesses!

They're innocent.

They're just little girls.

So was I, Jonathan.

Remember?

No.

How could you?

You weren't there.

Where are you going?

I'm supposed to be
a student here, right?

Can I come?

If I'm with you...

...I look at you
and talk to you,

people see that and think
I'm having some kind of...

Fine.

I'll stay.

Just don't forget...

who she is.

You're safe when
you're sleeping

Never, never knew

Hey.

How long have you been here?

You could actually come
to the meeting, you know.

What is it you think we do
in there anyway?

We just talk.

We listen.

We drink too much coffee.

I don't know,
I'm a private person.

Private or withdrawn?

Thanks.

You know, Jonathan,
the only way you're gonna make...

Stop.

Well?

This is why I don't go inside.

Last thing I need is
somebody else inside my head.

Okay.

Just so you know,

I'm not looking to mindfuck you.

You gotta understand, when I
find someone interesting, I...

I wanna know more about them.

I mean, you might call it
getting inside your head,

but... I call it
getting to know someone.

If we're gonna do this,

I mean, whatever this
turns out to be,

you don't get to call timeout.

It doesn't work that way.

You call timeout,
the game's over, okay?

Okay.

If I want in,

you gotta let me in.

But that...

That works both ways, right?

Absolutely.

If you're allowed
to get inside me,

then I'm allowed
to get inside you.

I'm sorry.

Um, no, no, uh, don't apologize.

No?

No.

Let me take some of the pressure
off you, Jonathan.

I don't know what you think
that was, but...

it was only a kiss.

It didn't mean anything?

It had no meaning.

Uh, so...

I'll be letting myself out

before things get
any more uncomfortable.

Um, you know, I apologize
for the whole... mouth thing.

Fuck.

You don't have to stay.

Try and make me leave.

I know you, Jonathan.

I can see right into you.

Leave something inside her.

No, no, Jonathan, don't...

What?

What?

All of it, except five dollars.

But that's all I can spare.

You can't leave me like this!

And I came all this way.

Oh, don't you see, my husband,
he will discover everything.

Well, I have to make
another connection.

If you really want it,
I might accept that ring

for five dollars.

But it was my engagement ring!

Go back.

Let me take you back...

...and show you...

...what you cannot remember...

Mrs. Lynn?

...because you did not see

because you were not there.

Mrs. Lynn?

Would you follow me, please?

I appreciate you
comin' out, Mrs. Lynn.

It's important for us
to straighten this out.

- Emotions run high.
- I just want my daughter back.

I assure you

she's been well taken care of.

Mother was strong.

What it comes down to is this,

the property rights,
the waterfront acreage,

that's gone...

She believed in justice.

...and it's all perfectly legal.

Unfortunate for you, but legal.

You sign a quitclaim

to the property
and the development rights...

She did not know the rules
of law could be changed.

...and we'll put
all of this behind us.

Who's us?

Who's we?

We are the authorities.

We are the law.

Mrs. Lynn,
could you stand, please?

Who are you?

- They threatened her.
- Raise your arms.

Ow, what, no, you can't...

- They bullied her.
- ...arrest me.

You gonna sit there?

Get your hands off of me!

- Come on.
- What?

- Stop resisting.
- No.

Take it easy,
put your hands

- behind your back.
- No!

You're not being arrested,

you're just being
detained, now relax!

Mrs. Lynn, just relax.

They violated her rights.

No!

Maybe, if you'd been there,

it might have been different.

You were just a boy then.

And maybe you could
have stopped it,

but we'll never know...

...'cause you were not there.

We should call an ambulance.

Not just yet.

Once they got what they wanted,

they disposed of the evidence.

Her husband is
in county lockup.

I'll have him
sent over to state.

It'll be a lot easier
to deal with him there

once he's lost in the crowd.

And one by one,

they buried us...

...except for one.

There's a son, right?

Except for you...

Military school in Vidalia.

A real fuck up, but just a kid.

...'cause you were not there.

Sorry, Jonathan.

For years, you were alone.

You suffered.

You endured.

You survived.

They offered you the cup

to take away
the pain of living.

American cowboy.

Well, so be it.

Don't worry, Jonathan.

I'll give you strength.

Why didn't you die, Jonathan?

You had so many opportunities.

You had a reason to live.

Purpose.

I promised I would
give you strength,

and I did.

That's why I appeared to you...

...to show you the way.

Vengeance is ours.

An eye for an eye

wasn't enough.

I didn't want an eye...

I wanted the entire head.

All that they are,

all that they
ever hoped to become.

We took our time,

we carefully laid the plans,

until they were ready
for execution.

It will be as if

they never existed,

and all...

will be right...

in the world.

I'm not hurting Margaret.

No, no.

They've seen me.

Who?

- Margaret.
- Yeah?

A visitor.

You need me to stick around?

It's okay.

I'll see you tonight, all right?

Hey, uh, I was hoping
you'd stop by.

Listen, I have something
to talk to you about.

- It's, it's kind of big, so...
- Listen, Margaret,

I can't stay here anymore.

Well, hold on.

We'll talk through it, I just...

- Something's kinda come up.
- There's no more time to talk.

If I don't get out of here now,

- it's gonna be bad.
- Okay, well...

I'm so sorry to interrupt you...

I don't mean to
trouble you at all, ma'am.

I'm just supposed
to pick up a friend here,

and I ain't seen
hair nor hide of her.

- I was wondering if ya...
- Uh, who's that?

Well, it's a girl
about your age,

uh, she's a daughter
of a friend of mine,

Max Lynn, her name's Berenice.

Either one of y'all
ever heard of her?

No, I don't think so.

Yeah, if you knowed her,
you wouldn't forget her,

especially with
a name like that.

You don't hear
that every day, now?

I'm sorry,
why would she be here?

Well, see, that's the thing.

I couldn't put grits to gravy

of that in my mind neither.

But, I don't know,
I figured she'd be at a mall...

Okay, well,
you know you're welcome

to wait in the lobby,
but we're just

- shutting down here.
- Here I am gabbin',

takin' up all y'all's time.

I'll just, I'll just
go on outside and wait,

and smoke a cigarette...
I know they're

supposed to be killers,

but, uh, old habits die hard.

Thank y'all for your kindness,

all right, y'all take care.

I need to go.

Well, I know, but just
wait a second, Jonathan.

- Once I take care of this...
- Jonathan, I should...

Hang on, listen, hey!

Don't come back.

If you leave now,

don't come back.

Margaret,
you don't understand.

Because you never
tell me anything.

You just stand there,
like a statue, all...

You don't know anything
about me.

You don't know that I am trying
to protect you.

Ow, stop, you can't do that!

You can't shake me!

You can't...

you can't shake me.

If you wanna leave...

leave.

You know, you don't need to be

yellin' at your
own girl like that,

especially when you know
how much you mean to her.

Womenfolk, what they like

is to be treated with
a little bit of tenderness.

What do you want?

You shoot straight
to the point, don't ya?

I want you to get in the car.

I want you and me
to go for a little ride,

sort some things out,
how 'bout that?

Why would I go
anywhere with you?

Leather seats?

Well, if you want we can
go settle this inside.

Don't reckon your
girlfriend would like that

that much, though.

Go on, drink the coffee
if you want to.

I got one with cream
and sugar, and one plain.

Figured I'd cover my bases.

We gonna need
all the energy we can get

for what comes next.

That's right.

Hits ya hard, doesn't it?

Close your eyes.

'Fore you know it,
it'll all be over with.

It'll all be over...

Yeah.

Jesus.

They'll kill him.

If they haven't already.

Maybe he saw 'em coming.

Maybe he'll get away.

The way you described him,
I thought I'd be

seeing me a pitbull.

Nothin' but a little ol' mutt.

A dog is a dog.

Put him in a bag.

Throw him in the water.

Shrimpin's all I used to do...

...back before the oil
spill killed it off.

Me and my daddy,

we'd chase shrimp
up and down the Florida coast.

Hell of a life.

After Daddy died, I figured
it'd be easier to just, uh...

...get a job
working for the state.

Sure as hell do miss it, though.

Couldn't get rid of the boat,
though, you know it?

She, uh,

been in the family too long.

Well, all right then.

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat...

...gently down the stream

Life is but a dream

Names.

Why is she asking for names?

She's doin' it again.

- I wonder if she's trying...
- Did you check her?

- Check her, what do we...
- Did you pat her down?

No.

So you're gonna let this woman

walk in here
and bring us down

because you're too shy

to pat her down?

- Pat her down for what?
- A wire, Charles!

If I know anything about women,

I know that that one
is wearing a goddamn wire!

Yeah?

You might've called.

Where is he?

Who?

You know who.

He's alive.

He has been
killin' off the entire town.

He has a very Old Testament
view of the world.

If given the chance,
he'd kill us all.

Not all of us.

Wait, do you think...

You naive child.

You think you mean
something to him?

You're nothing to him.

You're... you're not even
a piece of ass.

You're bait.

I mean, the only reason that,

that he is pretending
to be interested in you

is so that he
can get closer to me.

If that is the case, Mother...

...I will be happy
to have helped.

You see, I know
what he's done...

...and I know why he did it.

How deeply you
despise me, Margaret.

Resentment just flows
through your veins, doesn't it?

Oh, I can't blame you really.

It couldn't have been easy

growin' up
Justice Merrill's daughter.

If it makes any
difference to you,

bein' Justice Merrill
was no walk in the park.

After your father died,

they descended...

like locusts.

Who?

Oh, bankers, the lawyers,

his business associates,

all eager to take advantage.

I fought them all

tooth and nail.

I turned off my feelin's,

and allowed myself
to become hardened.

But I was determined...

...no one would ever

take advantage of me.

If I asked you...

...if I asked you

to spare Jonathan...

...would you?

Hey.

How you holdin' up?

Oh, you know.

Yeah.

What's it now, four months?

Five.

I know you...

don't know where Jonathan is.

I know you don't have any
way of contacting him.

That's right.

But I'm just starting
to get a little...

scared, you know?

If he contacts you, will you...

...will you tell him I'm...

...just tell him I need him.

I almost didn't keep it.

I didn't mind giving up
part of myself, but you...

...I couldn't lose
any part of you.

Margaret, you can't
come with me.

They know who I am.

- If anyone saw me with you...
- No, you're wrong. Listen.

Just promise me
the killing will stop.

I can make it all go away.

She can fix this.

She can help us, she can...

I need you...

I need you to trust me.

You once told me I could
have anything I wanted,

if only I would ask.

So I'm asking.

Are you sure

this is what you want?

Never more sure.

And how badly do you want it?

Would you, uh,
beg for his life?

If that's what it takes.

I beg you, Mother...

please, if you could...

Is this your idea of begging?

For my sake,

for the sake of my baby,

- please...
- Stop it.

Continue.

If you've ever wanted to do
anything for me...

What you don't seem to realize

is that Margaret
is the only thing

keeping you alive right now.

Is that a fact?

Because you see,

from where I'm sittin',

she seems to be pleadin'

for your life, not mine.

It's funny, but uh,

you don't strike me as a killer,

just don't seem capable.

Give me a taste
of your murderous side,

just a glimpse,

so I'll know you are
who you say you are.

No more killing.

Oh, well, how convenient.

Show me some teeth,
or get on your knees.

What more do you want
from me, I've already...

Shut up!

Shut your mouth!

Ugly.

Are you a killer...

or a coward?

Hm?

Let's go.

Bye, Mother.

You take one more step,

and I swear to baby Jesus

I will put a bullet
through the both of you.

Leave.

Oh, well, that's better.

I know you're in there.

Show yourself.

Come on, now.

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

And just so you know,

I loved you.

Come on, now.

I said...

turn around and face me!

No.

If you wanna kill him...

you'll have to kill me first.

No, no, no!

What'd you expect?

How else could this have ended?

This business of
fighting and dying...

...I wish there
was a better way,

but it seems the only way

to accomplish
anything in this world

is to kill or to die.

Americans don't understand that,

the power of dying.

All they care about
is staying alive.

And that, ironically,

will be the death of them.

Here, drink this.

It will calm you.

It will allow for things
to go easy for you.

And you?

Would you martyr yourself?

Is there anything in your
life worth dying for?

Hm?

No!

And every night,
I get down on my knees,

and I pray for the judgment
and the strength

to continue to defend
the way of life

that we have all
struggled so hard to attain.

God bless New Canaan.

God bless the state of Alabama!

And God bless America!
