watch your supination.

i'd rather be watching yours.

prise de fer, passe
and riposte.

god, i love it when
you talk dirty.

touche. right through the heart.

you have no idea.

what'd you say?

nothing.

had enough?

i'm done.

stick a fork in me.

you know, on 2nd thought, you
might take that literally.

you're improving.

you just need to work on your
balestra and your coule'.

you know, you've got to admit,

you're just making
this shit up, right?

my father taught
us how to fence.

he wanted to make sure his
girls could defend themselves.

oh, you got a sister?

i didn't know that.

is she older, younger?

younger.

oh.

where does she live?

right on the edge.

edge of what?

catastrophe, disaster,
self-destruction...

lauren and i, we're
like polar opposites.

she's always been pretty wild.

the only time i ever hear from
her is when she's in trouble.

something tells me you
just heard from her.

we have this system
for communicating.

she leaves word with a... a bar
owner about 70 miles south.

anyone from the mountain going that way,
i ask them to check in for messages.

day before yesterday...

you got a message.

mmm-hmm.

first time in i don't
know how long.

she sounded pretty desperate.

so are you gonna help her out?

what am i gonna do?

she's got nobody else.

you think i'm too soft.

it's ok. i like soft.

am i crazy,

or have you wanted to do
that as long as i have?

you're crazy.

touche.

dear dad,

it's been 15 years

since the big death wiped out
everyone over the age of innocence...

the end of your world,

the beginning of mine.

you're both aware

that our outreach program
has gone into overdrive.

i'll say.

thunder mountain's, like,
having a grand opening sale.

in recent days,

we've made contact with
at least 20 groups

that we believe offer
potentially important alliances

for our future endeavors.

and i can assume those endeavors

would not be shared
with us today?

need to know.

yeah, why would the guys

who put their lives on the line
for this place all the time

need to know?

the day is coming
soon, jeremiah.

the day is coming soon.

isn't that what those crazy guys

on the street
corner used to say?

and they were right.

mmm.

we want you to make contact

with a group called
shadow of the crescent.

have you heard of them?

no, i haven't.

i have.

what do you know about them?

only that they preach
separation of the races.

oh, man, if it's another one
of these white power groups...

no, actually, it's black power.

that's right. it's, uh,
kind of a throwback

to the african-american
activists

that proliferated in the
decades before the death.

and you want us to make an
alliance with these guys?

why? you have a
problem with that?

no, it's not my problem
that's the issue here.

jeremiah's right.

from what i know about
these brothers,

they would be
instantly suspicious.

we never said it was
going to be easy.

no offense,

but they might be more
open to an approach

if i go in alone.

you sure about that?

yeah.

you ok with that?

yeah, as long as you
keep a low profile,

and don't take any
unnecessary risks.

well, damn. those are
my favorite kind.

hey. you wanted to see me?

yeah, marcus told me

about this mission
you're going on.

yeah?

i want to go with you.

oh, no, elizabeth,

i don't think
that's a good idea.

why not?

well, we have to
take a.t.v.s, man.

and the roads are too
narrow for anything else,

and i really don't
think you'd want to...

i've rebuilt engines on a.t.v.s.

oh.

well, it might be dangerous.

all the more reason
to have some backup.

look, elizabeth, it's not that i
don't appreciate the offer...

but you don't think
i can handle it?

look, if anything
happened to you,

i don't know what i would do.

i'll watch your behind,
you watch mine.

ok,

but i got the better
end of the deal.

jeremiah?

hey, um, about last night,

let's just chalk that
up to a crazy impulse.

and i probably overreacted.

listen, um, i wanted
to ask you a favor.

it's about my sister.
the situation she's in,

it's not something i feel
comfortable handling alone.

sure. whatever i... i can do,

i'd be happy to.

thanks for understanding.

you... you, too.

lauren's got a history
of bad choices

and high-risk behavior.

you mean drugs?

when she can get them.

but it's men that are
usually her undoing.

she's hooked up with
this new romeo,

and from what i can make
out from her message,

he's been seriously abusive.

first, i want to make sure

we can get my little sister as
far away from him as possible,

and then she's gonna
hear some things

she's not gonna want to hear.

how much younger than you
did you say she was?

i didn't.

but it's about 10 minutes.

wow. you're twins?

identical.

hey.

i, uh, brought some dried
apricots for dessert.

want some?

sure.

you are so delicate.

what?

the way you eat,
the way you move,

those little glass
animals you collect,

everything about you.

not as fragile as you think.

well, i didn't mean
it in a bad way.

you know a lot more
about where i came from

than i do about your story.

not much to tell.

middle-class neighborhood
in los angeles,

an only child.

i guess you could say
i was a daddy's girl.

there's nothing my father
wouldn't have done for me,

except survive, i guess.

and after they were gone?

cried myself to
sleep every night

for the longest time,

and then one night, i
just stopped crying.

i'm a lot tougher than you know.

i can see that.

anyway,

we've got a long day
ahead of us tomorrow.

better get some sleep.

you know, we, uh,
might be a lot warmer

if we shared the
same sleeping bag.

kurdy, you know i
care about you...

no, really.

i just want to keep you warm.

that's sweet.

thank you.

good night, kurdy.

i really appreciate your
help on this, jeremiah.

oh...

i'm just having trouble
picturing another one of you.

i haven't spent much time
with lauren, really,

not since we were teenagers.

yeah? your choice or hers?

mmm,

i'd say it was mutual.

she did something
once when we were 16

that i haven't been able
to forgive her for.

let me guess.

you were both in love
with the same guy.

no.

it... it may seem petty,

but there was something
our mother left us both

before the virus claimed her.

it was her collection
of antique jewelry.

your sister took it.

not just took it. she bartered
it away almost immediately.

i'm pretty sure
it was for drugs.

she didn't even have the decency
to offer up an explanation.

i can see why that
would get to you.

it's not even that they were
all that valuable, either,

especially after the death.

it's just...

it was all you had left...

of your mother.

exactly.

as far as i was concerned, she had
no right to trade away her own part,

much less mine.

you've got to figure, it
must have been pretty hard,

surviving by herself, a girl.

you of all people should
know how hard that would be.

i don't know what
it is, jeremiah.

maybe it's the fact
that seeing lauren

is so much like
looking in a mirror,

but every time she
trips, i get bruised.

you're lucky.

you still have a sibling.

nothing i wouldn't give to
have my little brother back,

just roll around in the
dirt one more time.

shadow of the crescent.

these guys have got
about 100 acres

right at the edge
of those woods.

picked a pretty remote
spot, didn't they?

i think that's the point,

to separate themselves,

to be as self-sufficient
as possible.

from what i hear, man, they've
created their own world out here,

kind of like thunder mountain,

but only aboveground.

hold it right there.

whoa. take it easy, fellows.
we're friends.

you're trespassing.

well, we heard the s.o.c.
was around these parts.

nobody gets in without
an invitation.

so how about inviting us?

consider yourself invited.

erin! oh, my god,

it's so good to see you!

same here.

wow.

you didn't say you were
gonna bring anyone.

lauren, this is my
friend, jeremiah.

jeremiah, lauren.

hi, hi.

huh.

i'll say this, sis,

you always did have
good taste in men.

it's not like that. jeremiah
and i just work together.

whatever floats your boat.

come on. there's so much i
want to catch you up on.

what in the hell is this place?

used to be a shopping
mall, before the big.

now, it's part marketplace,

part hostel.

huh. yeah, well, i get
the "hostile" part.

what the fuck is he looking at?

oh, don't mind him.

remember those ads, when we
were kids, with the frying pan?

"this is your brain on drugs."

his has been sauteing
for about 15 years.

can i buy you some home brew?

no, thanks.

sure.

2 beers. put 'em on my tab.

i don't mean to be rude, lauren,

but your message
sounded pretty urgent.

yeah, well...

something about havin' a gun shoved
in your mouth will do that to you.

who is this guy?

calls himself geronimo,

but i've got a shorter
name for him.

and you split from him, right?

took off in the
middle of the night.

what are the odds he'll
try to come find you?

i made sure i covered my tracks.

well, i'm not taking any chances.
finish your beers.

what's your hurry, erin?

what's the hurry?

if you know this place well
enough to run a tab at the bar,

then my guess, so does this
loser you shacked up with.

we can't leave till
tomorrow morning.

what happens then?

i got a girlfriend meeting me.

i told her you'd give us
both a lift to boulder.

she knows someone with a farm

at the foot of the flat hills.

he'll never find me there.

i don't like it.

first, you ask me to help
you get away from this guy,

and then you spring
this friend on me.

can you just trust me on this? i mean,
for goddamn once, can you just trust me?

unlike you, i have this problem,

i learn from my mistakes.

man, i knew this was a bad idea.

tell you what, your friend
shows up in the morning,

and then we're out
of here, all right?

that's it.

unless, of course, you mind
traveling with 3 women.

i think i can handle it.

no doubt.

i am called kwame.

and you?

i am kurdy, and
this is elizabeth.

those are your slave names.

well, they happen to be
the only names we have.

what's the nature of
your business here?

we come in peace.

we'll be the judge of that.

we represent an organization

that's trying to build
a broad coalition.

what organization?

i'm not at liberty to give
you the name just yet,

but let me say,

it represents the best
hope any of us have.

man, we're talkin'
a whole new way.

that presumes we're unhappy
with the ways we've got.

no, not at all.

i mean, from what i hear,

you got a lot of good
things going on here.

i mean, this could
be heaven on earth.

it's just that you're
doing it alone.

by choice.

forgive me, kwame,

but we don't owe these
two any explanations.

they've broken our rules,

and there have to
be consequences.

pardon the vigilance
of brother raheem.

he's very protective
of our life here.

for good reason.

we let down our guard, we could
wind up on the scrap heap,

like so many others of our race.

if i may ask,

this organization

whose name you're unwilling
to disclose to us,

who comprises it?

all peoples,

black, white,

yellow, red...

that is what you're
asking, isn't it?

you want to know if
we stand together?

you don't even see
the irony, do you?

no. what exactly is the irony?

what my good friend raheem means

is that we draw our
strength from unity.

well, then we're on the
very same page, kwame.

except that what
we mean by unity

is standing shoulder to shoulder

with brothers and
sisters of color.

is that a problem for you?

no, it's not a problem at all.

we're just suggesting

that you may want to consider
expanding your horizons a little.

we don't need outsiders

to tell us how to
live our lives.

i'm sorry, kurdy,

but we've never gone wrong
erring on the side of caution.

go back and tell your leaders,

we respectfully decline
their invitation.

but you haven't even...

the matter is settled.

we don't know what their
agenda really is.

we turn them loose without
them being fully interrogated,

it could come back to haunt us.

perhaps you're right.

for the moment, i
ask that you stay.

don't you think
you've had enough?

enough?

don't think i know that word.
give me a hint.

i've had enough.
i'm gonna turn in.

you guys, uh, seem like you
got a lot to talk about.

come on. don't be such
a stick-in-the-mud.

the party's just beginning.

why don't you just tell
me how it turns out?

good night, jeremiah.

so, you're saying
that he's not taken,

is that right?

you can't keep doing this.

here we go.

you can't keep going
on making messes,

expecting other people
to clean up after you.

but you're such a good little housekeeper, erin.
you were always mama's little helper.

don't you dare bring
up mom with me.

oh, honey, relax.
you'll get creases.

'sides, you're not on your
turf anymore, you're on mine.

and in case you
forgot, mom's dead.

i'm sorry. i... i didn't...

hey, no problem.

maybe you're not so
perfect after all.

why is it that all the
men you gravitate to

are all such assholes?

i like your friend, jeremiah.
is he an asshole?

you know what i think it is?

no, sister, dear, but i have a
funny feeling i'm gonna hear it.

you choose men who hurt you because
that's what you think you deserve.

that is such bullshit.

you don't value yourself,

so why not hook up with some guy
who's got the same opinion?

are you done yet? not quite.

you took something from me
that you had no right to take.

if it was your sense of humor,
you clearly had no use for it.

you know exactly what
i'm talking about.

excuse me, but this little
incident happened along the way,

the whole goddamn world collapsed
like a house of cards,

but maybe that was
just my nightmare.

ok, so you... you can make
all these demands of me,

push me around, but if i
push back, you go ballistic.

honey, there's nothin'
you can do to me

that hasn't been done a hundred
times, so climb off that high horse.

it doesn't become you.

this is damn good.
what do you call it?

it's called muamba nsusu,

a traditional african
stew from the congo.

muamba nsusu, all right.

i'd be willing to
wager there's a lot

about your cultural heritage
that you don't know.

yeah, well, that's a wager you
would probably win, my man.

it's not your fault.

even after the big death, too many
of the old prejudices prevailed.

well, i've done my
share of reading

about the struggle
before the death.

unfortunately, a lot of those
histories were skewed.

well, i'm talking james
baldwin, malcolm x,

dr. martin luther king...

king had a time and a place,

but his teachings did not endure

the way real
revolutionaries' did.

so are you suggesting dr. king
wasn't a real revolutionary?

i just say that he tried to
be all things to all people.

so if martin luther king

doesn't pass your litmus
test for moral courage,

who on god's green earth does?

i don't expect you
to understand.

what is your problem, raheem?

you're forcing me to say something
that you might find ugly.

well, get it out,

'cause you're saying
it in innuendo anyway.

all right.

what you are is the very symbol

of what damn near

racial mixing.

now, you wait a goddamn minute.

i don't know what
books you've read,

but the movement was
about equality,

and even the most
real revolutionary

did not exclude
black men and women

because they were
of mixed heritage.

you know what you're about?

you're about fear,

about hate,

and about finding a scapegoat.

life is not black
or white, raheem.

the real work

comes in taking the
time to judge people

by what's in their hearts.

you don't see their hearts.

you see their faces.

you're proud of being black.

that's great. so am i.

i'm also proud of being me.

did i wake you?

what do you want?

honey, if i have to
answer that question,

you've got more
problems than i do.

it's not like you're gonna get
anywhere with the ice queen.

what are you afraid
of, jeremiah?

hmm?

mind if i join you?

it's your home.

brother raheem, he, uh,
speaks from the heart.

i'm sorry if he caused
your friend pain.

you know what's ironic?

i was going to come
here with my partner.

this is a cat i would
trust with my life.

and i told him he
should stay behind,

because i knew he would get
a chilly reception here,

so i brought elizabeth instead.

this movement,

it's not about hate.

exactly the opposite,
it's about love,

self-love, kurdy.

the pride of a people

who have been held down so long,

they've forgotten how
strong they really are.

now, my parents worked damn hard

to teach me about
where i came from,

and to make sure i
understood the sacrifices

our people made along the way.

and then the death happened, and you
forgot, but we can teach you...

no, no, no, that's where you're wrong, kwame.
i did not forget.

i can never forget.

but when that disease hit,

when it passed over every house
like one of pharaoh's plagues,

it did not stop to check

to see who was black or
white or in-between.

the big death was an
equal-opportunity assassin.

that's all the more reason for
black kids to have stuck together,

'cause that was our
one shot at unity.

no, man, i saw unity.

i saw children reaching
out to other children,

and it didn't matter
who you were.

i saw more acts of
kindness on those streets

between kids who were
simply trying to survive

than i've seen in a month
of sundays at church.

about a year after
the big death,

i got sick.

now, i was real sick. i had
some kind of parasite.

i'm... i'm wasting away in the
basement of a church somewhere.

and this little girl,

who was barely older than me,

i remember she
walked with a limp,

but she found me.

she brought me food

and whatever medication
she could scrounge up,

and every morning
and every night,

she took care of me,

until i had the
strength to fight back.

you know what this little
gimpy girl said to me?

i was the first black
friend she ever had.

it's a very touching
story, kurdy,

but i find it
difficult to believe

that you didn't see the hate.

you didn't feel the prejudice?

yeah, i felt it.

and you know what i learned?
mmm?

good and evil come
in all colors.

listen, this
organization i represent

is looking for decency
wherever it's hiding.

we want to build upon it.

we want it to flourish.

we've worked too hard, kurdy,

too hard at surviving to risk it all
on one more white man's promise.

do i look like a
white man to you?

it's dark out here.

i can't tell.

there you are.

you are in deep shit.
you know that.

i want what's mine, geronimo.

oh, you're going to
get what's yours.

believe me.

i'm not going back with you,
so don't waste your threats.

it's over, ok?

i'm not doin' this anymore.

no, you are gonna do

what i tell you to do.

just give me my stuff.

i know you've got it.

come on.

what's with the clothes?

you gotta be shittin' me.

you are so askin' for it.

where the hell did you
learn to do that?

fuck!

there's two of you.

bring it on.

that's enough.

leave me the hell
alone, all right?

you heard the lady.
she ain't interested.

and who the fuck are you?

somebody that doesn't
like bullies,

especially those who
victimize women.

how about i victimize
you instead?

how about you just walk away?

oh, that's nice, hiding behind
a woman's skirt. sweet.

i got it.

come on, asshole.

so, think you're a big man?

it makes you big, beating
up on women, huh?

oh, shit.

hey, you all right?

i didn't mean to...
it's all right.

he got what he deserved.

let's get the hell outta here.

what are we gonna tell marcus?

that you can't always
pry open a closed mind.

for what it's worth, i've
taken notes on everything,

so marcus can do with
it what he will.

it might have been different
if i hadn't come with you.

no, it's bullshit.

all it did was convince me

that these guys are not worth
bringing into the fold.

look, you can put your
hardware away, fellas.

we're just leavin'.

after you scoped out everything
there is to know about this place?

i don't think so.

i think i know a spy
when i see one.

what the hell do
you want from us?

you should never have come here,

but now that you have,
you leave me no choice.

let's go.

you knew perfectly well
that he'd come after you.

that story about your
girlfriend was a lie.

i had to get something from him.

i didn't think you'd understand.

i guess you never considered
the truth as an option.

the people with the
farm i told you about,

that was the truth.

it's not far from here.
i can walk it.

lauren...

there's no reason
to hide anymore.

you sure you wouldn't
rather come back with us?

i'm not really the
settle down type.

that's why it might
be good for you.

i have a natural aversion
to what's good for me.

so i've noticed.

guess i won't be needing this.

if this is what i think it is, believe
me, you're doing the right thing.

any opportunity for a
lecture, sis, hey?

you really oughta loosen up.

maybe this'll help.

take care of that
girl, all right?

she takes care of herself.

she does pretty good.

so what'd she give you?

i think she decided
to give up the drugs.

you sure?

oh, my god.

i don't believe this.

it's my mother's jewelry.

all of it.

there's not a piece missing.

she never traded it.

raheem!

whatever it is,
it'll have to wait.

what do you think you're doing?

protecting the enclave

from those who would destroy it.

there's nothing about our group they
don't know about with this report.

all an enemy needs to
bring us to our knees.

oh, come on, kwame.

you know why we're here.

raheem, when were you going to
share your intentions with me?

you've grown soft, kwame.

someone had to have the courage to
stand up and fight for what's right.

stand down.

now.

we resort to violence
without cause,

and we only show our weakness.

put away your gun, raheem.

so after everything
we've worked for,

we go back to blind faith?

guilty until proven innocent,

is that what you would
have us espouse?

when it comes to the
security of our people,

we cannot afford
to miscalculate.

like it or not, raheem,

there's a world
beyond these walls.

a world that would crush
our bodies and our souls.

now, either we act out of love,

or fear.

in the end, those are
the only 2 choices.

and i simply won't be ruled

by fear.

what about our families?
your family, my family?

i see no harm in learning
more about the group

that brought these people here.

if they can help us, fine. if
not, i'll make that clear.

if you don't want to be
part of that conversation,

so be it.

silence is pretty deafening.

i know that you know what
happened last night.

i do?

your sister came on to me.

i... i crumbled.

phew!

what's a man to do?

i never said i was a saint.

no, you're definitely not that.

and trust me, she's no saint.

what did she do?
blow in your ear?

is that what she told you?

honey, if i have to
answer that question,

you've got more
problems than i do.

hey, wait a minute.

are... are you saying

th... that you...

in... in... in...

did we, uh...

you'll never know for
sure, now, will you?

remember when we first met,

and i promised you a glass cat?

where did you get this?

shadow of the crescent.

it's from swaziland.
kwame gave it to me.

i promise i won't fall
asleep this time.
