We are now closer than we have ever been.

We are now closer than we have ever been to victory.

Some, some are already calling it the greatest,

some are already calling it the greatest victory

in the history of mankind. Some are calling it

already, we are closer than we have ever been to victory.

Some are already calling it the greatest

victory in the history of military campaigns.

Today, I can announce that the so-called Western forces

of Texas and California have suffered a very great

loss, a very great defeat at the hands of the

fighting men and women of the United States military.

The people of Texas and California should know that

they will be welcomed back to these United States

as soon as their illegal secessionist government is deposed.

I can also confirm that the Florida Alliance has failed in its attempt to force

the brave people of the Carolinas into joining

the insurrection. Citizens of America, we are

now closer than ever to a historic victory

as we eliminate the final pockets of resistance.

God bless you all, and God bless America.

Hello, this is the yellow sun, bringing the cuttings of the air,

bringing all the cells across,

sending fingers through my hair,

bringing the seaside up the way,

bringing the seaside up the way, This is crazy.

Take this. Oh, no, I can't do this. I can take it and put it on.

We woke up in Des Moines, Iowa, and he's wearing

my wedding ring. Jesus, the Wi-Fi is fucking slow.

The word I'm getting is for life force.

The word you're getting, like everyone in this room,

is fucking mad and over here it is bullshit.

The word is for the shit. The optics are irresistible.

The Russian forces are stuck 120 miles from the

sea. The Florida lions armed for self attack.

The WF1 stopped. They stalled. They lost their supply lines.

But it's the race that burned me,

and there's no coordination between the cessation and some.

You watch. As soon as DC falls, they'll turn on each other.

Only once every night this week, they'll switch to the generator.

Upload. Almost done.

So, where are your kids headed tomorrow?

Staying in New York while I'm venturing out? Fuck you.

Come on, Joe. Sir, can you hit us there? I couldn't beat you in a brisk walk.

We're going up. We're going to DC, Danny. Tomorrow morning, first thing.

Yeah, front line, I figured. No, no, not the front line. DC.

What? I'm going to photograph the president. Joe's going to interview me.

Photograph and interview the president. In DC.

That's the idea. What the fuck are you talking about? Are you serious?

They shoot journalists on sight in the capital.

They literally see us as enemy combats.

Not a single interview in 14 months. And how are you going to do this?

We get there before anyone else takes it.

You think there's a rush to get executed on the south lawn?

Send July 4th, July 10th. West Coast forces,

fucking Portland Mall. It's all the same.

DC is falling and the president is dead inside the month.

Interviewing him is the only story left.

It's not a story if it never gets filed.

Lee, can I please talk you out of this bullshit?

What do you think the word's going to be like?

It's nothing direct. The United States has

vaporized and you can't get anywhere near Philly.

So you've got to go west maybe as far as

Pittsburgh and then circle in from West Virginia.

You already had that result figured out, don't say me.

Yeah, okay. I was kind of looking to get down there myself.

Not DC. I don't want a piece of your suicide pact.

I want Charlottesville. Front line.

Send me out. Just cause I'm a rival news out there, not a fucking rival.

You think I care if you fight with whatever's left of the New York Times?

You're worried I'm too old. I can't move quick enough.

Are you? Sure.

Yes. But you're going to make me explain why I have to be there.

If it's the front line you want, half the press in

this room is going to be heading there within 24 hours.

You want me to walk around this fucking room begging for a ride?

I'm going to finish the upload upstairs and pass

out. Hopefully it'll be time I say I wake up.

My vote. If Sandy wants a ride, I'm good with it. You two figure it out.

Thank you, Lee. Yeah, thank you, Lee. Make me the bad guy.

Ma'am, just to warn you, if you take the elevator, we do sometimes

have power cuts, which might mean a delay in your journey.

A delay?

We offer the option to use the stairs.

I'm on the 10th floor.

Your choice, ma'am.

Miss Smith? Hey, it's me.

Do you remember me earlier? Yeah.

How did you know I was staying?

I didn't mean to, like, stalk, but I know a lot of the press use this

hotel, and I wanted to say thanks, and I wanted to give you this back.

Oh, no. It's okay, keep it.

Keep it. And buy a helmet and say hello, okay, if

you're planning on attending or stuff like that.

I am, yeah, going to. I'm a photographer, and

I want to be a war photographer, actually.

By the way, you have the same name as my hero, Lee Miller.

She was one of the first photojournalists to knock out.

You know her stuff? Yeah.

I know who Lee Miller is, of course.

But I wanted to say that you're also one of

my heroes, and you've got the same name, too.

Well, thank you. I'm in good company.

What's her name? Jesse.

Jesse Colin.

So, Jesse, I've got to walk up ten flights of stairs.

But if I receive again, you better be wearing Kevlar, and that's arrested.

You bet.

What the fuck is that girl doing? Right.

She's very cool, and wanted to tag along.

So she's coming with us.

Lee, you let Sami tag along. You think he's going to do

well running for cover with bullets flying over his head? She's a kid.

Did you notice that?

She's like 23, and she wants to do what we do. She wants to do what you do.

We had to start one day. Were you much older than she is now?

Whatever happens, she goes to know for everyone Charlottesville.

Alright, let's go.

You don't want to miss this.

I'm not a man. I'm not a mother here.

I'm not a man. My shape is in a mirror.

I'm a student on the sky with a mirror.

I'm a monster now.

I'm a monster now.

Mr. President, do you regret any actions

implemented during your third term in office?

I'm not going to softball him, Senator.

In retrospect, Mr. President, do you still think it was wise to disband the FBI?

Passive-aggressive.

Sir, how was your policy evolving in the

use of airstrikes against American citizens?

Now we're talking. Just be sure you get the

words out before the piano wire gets too tight.

There's a gas station up ahead.

Looks open.

We've got over half a tank.

What do you think?

Any chance to refuel we should take? Help you folks.

Just looking for gas.

You got a fuel permit?

No, we're actually just passing through.

You know, I'm sorry.

Sorry if we pay.

I was never going to give it free.

Over the ox.

What's over the ox?

300. For half a tank and two cans.

300 buys and a sandwich. We got ham or cheese.

300 Canadian.

Okay.

Hey. Stretching your legs?

No, I just saw something for the roof.

This isn't going to take long.

Sure.

Are we good?

Yeah, we're good.

Don't hold her.

I don't mind if she looks.

How are they? Looters.

They're actually not a guy.

They're in high school together.

They didn't talk too much.

I wish we weren't talking right now.

We've been debating what to do with them for two days now.

They go around in circles.

Tell you what.

Why don't you put us and them out of our misery and make a call?

I'll put rounds in them right now.

We'll beat them up a little more.

Strap them to the front.

We'll let them go after a couple of days.

Put them a coin if you like.

Would you stand with them?

They don't look? Yeah.

I'd like to take a picture.

Okay.

You stand over there? Yeah.

Where do you arm you?

Between the two.

I got you.

I didn't take a photo.

I didn't take a single photo.

I didn't even remember.

I had cameras on me.

Like, oh my God.

Like, why didn't I just tell him not to shoot them?

They're probably going to kill that man.

How do you know?

He doesn't know, but that's besides the point.

Once you start asking yourself those questions, you can't stop.

So we don't ask.

We record, so other people ask.

Want to be a journalist? That's the job.

Hey, lady.

What? Back off.

What am I saying that's wrong?

I'm not saying it's wrong.

She just shook up.

Leah doesn't understand. She shook up.

Whoa.

I'm not being protective of her.

You're the idiot who let her in this car.

What happened back there is nothing in comparison to what we're heading into.

You need to understand.

The back seat is both in your garden and an old child's car.

How did this happen?

Leah, what the fuck? He's right.

I won't make that mistake again.

I'll be here a minute.

It's like a good place for a toilet break.

Just pull it.

I'm with me.

I'm with me.

Shoot it.

Shoot the helicopter? Yeah.

It's gonna make a good image.

I feed twos.

You don't see them around much.

Yeah.

They're my dad's cameras, actually.

Don't worry. He's not dead.

He's sitting on his farm in Missouri pretending like none of this is happening.

We...

I'm sorry for jamming my way into your ride, okay?

I know you're really angry about it, and I know you think I don't know shit, but...

I'm not angry about that, Jesse.

I don't care what you do or don't know.

Okay, but you are angry with me.

There is no version of this that isn't a mistake.

I know. Because I'm it.

Joe and Sammy are it.

It's my choice.

Right.

And I'll remember that when you lose your shit or you get blown up or shot.

Would you photograph that moment if I got shot?

What do you think?

Every time I survived the war zone and got the

photo, I thought I was sending a warning home.

Don't do that.

But here we are.

So it's existential.

What is it?

What's eating you?

Don't worry about me, Sammy.

Am I allowed to say I remember you at her age?

And I wasn't so different.

You weren't so different.

You think you're being hard on her, and I think you're being hard on yourself.

Okay, Ryder.

Dammit, Lee. Stop.

I'm speaking truth.

And for the record, sure, I'm worried about that girl.

And I'm worried about you, too.

What are you worrying about Lee for?

Lee's lost her faith in the power of journalism.

State of the nation is QED.

I can't answer to that, Sammy.

But I can tell you,

this gunfire is getting extremely fucking hard.

Look at that shit light up this guy.

It's not our story.

Yeah.

But you know, bang, bang.

We're not going anywhere near that in the dark.

What's that now?

They're still at it. We'll take a look.

Cool.

Thanks.

Action tomorrow.

Are you going down there? Yeah.

But not you.

They're gonna.

.. they're gonna hang back.

I don't want to hang back.

I'm not hanging back.

I'm not hanging back.

You should see your face.

Stomach doing turns, right?

You don't get a minute of sleep tonight.

My advice, don't expect to sleep.

That way if you do it, sir, it's a nice surprise.

You're gonna sleep?

I got out of the attic, but...

you're planning to give us some info.

I know, it's okay.

Or I can stay up with you.

No, I... I don't want to be a burden or whatever.

Sure.

But seriously, if you do get freaked out or something, just wake me up.

It's not nice being scared alone.

Thanks, Joe.

You bet, darling.

Fuck!

I said don't slice the fucking building!

Get ready to move!

Fuck!

Smoke out!

Fuck!

Watch out!

Fuck!

Move it!

You gotta move!

You gotta get out!

You gotta get out!

Fuck!

Hang in, stay down!

Fuck, give me that!

Oh no!

Fuck!

Fuck!

No, I can't have none of that!

Hell, I'm about to save me! Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.

Holy fucking shit!

What a fucking rush!

We're pressed? Yes, ma'am.

I do.

Okay, are you staying the night? Yeah, just one.

Park over there.

There's a canteen where you can eat, and no tents available.

Thanks, ma'am.

You're good.

I'm gonna show these kids.

Check this out.

Okay!

Yeah, straight up.

Here you go.

You don't tell her something.

I brought you something.

Thanks.

Don't forget to eat.

Yeah, I'm starving.

Eat once I'm done with this.

Developing eggs on the road.

Yeah, I got myself a pretty neat travel kit.

I'm impressed.

Want to know the secret of getting the developer just right?

Body temperature.

Smart.

So, how about you tell me a story of how you became a photojournalist?

You don't know?

Thought I was one weird hero.

Yeah, I do.

When you were in college, you took the motherfucking

legendary photo of the Antifa massacre.

Then, you became the youngest ever madman photographer.

That would be my Wikipedia page.

But what's missing from it? I don't know.

A lot.

Well, that's gotta sit here for ten minutes, so it might as well expand a little.

What about your folks?

Well, actually, they're on a farm, too.

Except Colorado.

Also, pretending this isn't happening.

No shit.

Hey, these are dry. Should we check them out? Sure.

Still need a phone, even though you can't get a signal.

I don't want you to see these.

They're not even in focus.

Exposure's all wrong.

Keep looking.

I figured the strike rate for keepers was thirty to one.

So great.

Did we just drive through a time portal?

It's a twilight zone.

Hey, there. Welcome. Feel free to look around.

Hey.

Auto features.

Are you guys aware there's like a pretty huge civil war going on all across America?

Oh, sure. But we just try to stay out.

Stay out?

With what we see on the news, seems like it's for the best.

Yeah.

Well, let me know if you want to try anything on.

Wait.

What?

You're so worked on, you can't try on a dress.

Jesus.

You haven't seen yourself in a mirror.

Oh my God.

Hey, shut the fuck up.

Turn around. I want to take your photo.

No.

Come on.

Yes.

Are you going to take the photo?

Tell me not to rush.

Yeah, but there's a sweet spot and you're missing it.

Don't want to miss your sweet spot.

Well, no, that was not the moment.

Okay. One more.

Leave?

Yes.

You're pretty when you smile.

Here you go.

Hey.

How about this? Yeah, nice.

You're not going to take a picture? Thanks.

You know what, though?

Running a little long film.

You're mean.

I'm out.

I'm going to try this on.

You actually bought something? She did.

She paid down.

It's so weird.

This place is like everything I'd forgotten.

Funny.

I was thinking it felt like everything I remembered.

Look at the tops of the buildings.

Be subtle.

Wouldn't assume it is anyway, Lee.

We'd have gotten bored.

I remain ready to accept the full agreement and

unconditional surrender of the secessionist officials.

To liberate the people of the subjugated

states and start rebuilding our great nation.

That's like a shit.

Words might as well be random.

What do you think he'll actually say if I do get a mic in front of him? Not much.

The ones that get taken.

Gaddafi, Mussolini, Tachescue.

They're always less than men than you think.

At the end he'll let you down, Joe.

Just as long as he isn't dead before I get there.

Hold up.

It was a turn off three or four miles back.

Maybe we should turn around and take another route.

Can you see anything?

Oh.

Nothing.

No shapes, no movement, nothing.

No.

Okay, I'm gonna drive forward a little.

Should we keep going?

Shit!

Where you going? Seven.

Don't be such a hotshot.

Just keep your head down.

I'm shit.

Let me try driving on.

This guy's a good shot.

Hey.

What's going on?

Someone in that house...

They're stuck.

We're stuck.

Who do you think they are? No idea.

We're pressing.

Cool.

Now I understand why it's written on the side of your vehicle.

Are you WF? Who's giving you warnings?

No one's giving us orders, man.

Someone's trying to kill us.

We are trying to kill them.

You don't know what side they're fighting for.

Oh, I get it.

You're a target.

You don't understand a word I say.

Yeah, what's over there in that house?

Someone shooting? You guys.

..

Shut the fuck up.

I got good news.

Why don't you put your head down there? Thanks, Simeon.

Good.

Take it from an overhand.

Sleep any chance you get.

You never know what's coming around the next corner.

All right.

Sammy.

What?

We've got a car coming up on us pretty fast.

Oh, they're in a hurry, all right?

He smoked his tires on the last corner.

Okay.

But we're not going to outrun anyone in this thing, so... slow down a little, Lee.

Let them pass.

Roger that.

They just rolled on by.

What the fuck? Tony? Fuck you.

How you doing?

Did you scare the shit out of me? Good.

That was the idea.

What the fuck are you doing here? Oh, no, no, no.

What are you doing here? Fuck you.

Fuck you.

God, small world.

Small world, my ass. They were following us.

Did you tell them where we were headed back in New York? Fuck no.

Hey, Tony.

Did Joe tell you where we were going back in New York?

I don't know, Lee.

He was bleeding drunk.

When he was hitting that girl, you better live back, too.

Oh, poor.

You're a dick.

What kind of muscle has been so wasted?

Lee!

I'm done with boy!

He's not the company he drives like a maniac!

Shoot your mother.

I just have to buy him.

Dude, what are you doing?

I tell you, only your car!

Tony!

Are you fucking crazy, Tony?

Can you just keep the guys out of your fucking mind?

You're fucking crazy! I'm so fucking.

..

I gotta do it.

What?

I'm doing it!

Jesus, Lee!

Don't turn the wheel!

My new passenger!

Much better!

Much better!

Bye bye, Tony!

Bye bye!

See you in Washington!

Fuck you!

This feels funny.

Where'd your guy go, Tony?

This is fucking around, that's all.

I don't want to fuck it around.

I want Jesse back in the spark.

Relax, Lee.

Destroy your passenger drive.

The girl's fine.

How the fuck do you know if she's fine?

Can you see her? Fuck! Shit.

We need to go down there. Now.

If we go down there, they're going to kill us.

No.

Those aren't government forces.

No, no.

Yeah.

Go to brass passes.

You're cool.

Those people do not want to be seen doing what they're doing.

Tell us, Lee.

They're talking.

They're not just giving them a scare.

They killed all the people in that fucking truck.

They could have killed the whole town, but they'll stop now.

Who knows where those bodies are from.

Are the bodies in uniform?

No, they're not.

I'm going down there.

I'm telling you, every instinct in me says this is death, okay? Death.

You stay.

You stay because you're old.

You can't run.

Fuck it.

Shit.

Fuck this.

Why? There's one hung up in there.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

What's happening?

I guess there's some kind of misunderstanding here.

Yeah? Yes, sir.

Those two guys over there, they're my colleagues.

What kind of colleagues?

Sir, were you actually just... we were passing through.

Passing through where?

Charlottesville.

What's in Charlottesville?

Good hiking? Right here.

Actually, we are... no, we are covering the university campus there.

They started a new program. They are reopening the school, which is a...

It's a real feel-good stuff.

I guess we all need that, right? Yeah.

This guy is your colleague?

This guy here? Yes, sir.

He's my...

That guy? Just.

..

Just what?

Just what?

You know what?

What?

Just please?

Just please?

Sir, please?

Yes, just speak.

We are American journalists.

You told me that already.

Okay. We work for Reuters.

Reuters doesn't sound American.

It's a news agency.

I know what Reuters is.

Sir, okay. I'm just saying... You're saying just what?

We are American, okay? Okay.

What kind of American are you?

Central American. South American.

What? Florida.

Florida.

Central.

What about you? Where are you from?

Tell him, Jesse.

Missouri.

Missouri?

It's a show me state, right?

Yes.

Isn't that what they call it?

Yes.

Why do they call it the show me state? I don't know.

You don't know?

That's American.

It is American. 100%.

What about you? Where are you from? Colorado.

Colorado.

Colorado.

Missouri.

That's what I'm talking about.

It's America.

Who's this guy hiding over here? Hey, buddy.

What's your deal? Where are you from?

Huh? Where are you from?

What? You can't speak? Are you mute?

You can't speak English? Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Okay.

Open your mouth and tell me where you're from.

Just make sure it's clear your fucking language, okay?

Where are you from?

Hong Kong? Oh, China.

China.

What? Just stop it, okay?

Stop it!

What the fuck? Stop it!

Get in the fucking car!

No! You gotta stop.

What are you talking about? I can't drive.

We can't stop.

We gotta fucking drive.

I can't.

He's the kid. He's bleeding.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Fuck! Okay, get out.

Get out.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Open up your heart and find a home, baby.

Breathe in and move me by you.

And so you take away your pain by holding you down.

It takes pain for you.

Oh, but heartaches can't kill you.

From the inside, so it seems.

Well, I'm telling you, it's all a dream.

It's all a dream.

It's all a dream.

We just heard about Sammy.

And here are two guys.

Tony.

Bohai.

Their names.

Leo, I'm really sorry. I know what he was to you.

It's so fucked up.

Oh, it's so fucked up.

It's so fucked up.

Are you waiting to hear what these two embedded motherfuckers have to say?

Joe, I'm just trying to talk to Leo about Sammy.

I know. I heard your condolences.

It means a lot.

No, no, no.

Just, just tell her.

We loved Sammy. Everyone did.

Thank you, Anya.

Oh, fuck. The Western forces are moving to DC.

Earlier today, the government military basically surrendered.

Yeah, it's true.

DC's only protection now. A few do or die soldiers, handful of secret service.

WF's gonna roll right in.

So you and I, we're too late.

We miss the story, and Sammy didn't even die for anything good.

Where's Joe? Me too.

Hardly knew Sammy compared to you, but...

Yeah, he knew him.

The man you were with, that's who he was.

It may sound fucked up, but there are so many ways that it could have ended for him.

And a lot of them were worse.

He didn't want to quit.

These last few days, I've never been stared like that before.

And I've never felt more alive.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Something's coming!

Where are you gonna help me?

What do you need?

That's what I want in this whole town.

And you're gonna make your own rights in that town.

Just let me do it, do it.

Don't break it, don't beat it.

You're like that bitch.

Move, move, move!

I've got everything in my head.

Now come on, let's go, let's go.

Clear! Come on.

We have reached the White House perimeter.

The President is now surrounded.

We have a purpose for the White House.

Get out of the way!

You give me shit?

Leave on the vial.

You!

Now we go after calling out of a chopper out on the roof of the fucking Pentagon.

There's really only one shot though, huh?

You know his in there?

They got intel from the generals that surrendered yesterday.

The President's right in that fucking building.

What are you and him not gonna do with it?

Kill!

No capture!

Whoever gets a fucking gun, who is that first?

Hey, leave!

Don't beat me to the body shot, huh?

You got the beef?

Two Suburbans right outside.

The President's...

Fuck yeah, he's busting out.

This is crazy!

Let's go!

Let's go, Jesse!

What do you mean, what?

Come on, now!

Help me, help me.

The reporter's moving out.

This place is empty.

Stay the fuck out of our way!

Come on, North!

Because we're gonna say you enjoyed welfare.

Come on, North. I'm here to talk.

Flooded.

I'm here to negotiate the surrender of the President.

Yes, here.

Are you the WF?

Take a wild guess.

Can the President be entrusted into your safe care? Yes, ma'am.

We'll take real good care of him. Just bring him out here.

We're not bringing him anywhere until we have agreed terms.

We need a guarantee of safe passage for the President.

And we need attraction to a neutral territory.

We request Greenland or Alaska.

Nah, no terms.

Bring him out here.

We gotta move, Sergeant.

Ma'am, the President is willing to...

Gunner! Point! Tuck! Move in!

Come on, get back!

Ow! He's over here!

Come on, North!

Come on!

Get back! Get back!

Come on, North!

Get him out!

Come on!

Come on!

Get him out!

I'm out!

Relax! Relax!

Crash it!

Chief, close up!

I'm left!

Close!

Check!

Forward!

Gunner, I'm moving across. I need you to release the fire.

No! Sergeant, you're going left! Only me.

I'm going left. You want whatever.

Copy you!

You guys ready?

Move!

Move!

Let's go!

You good?

Stay down!

He can flag!

Move! Get him over there!

Get him over there!

Ready?

Break out! Break out! Break out!

Wait!

Wait! I need a coat.

Yeah.

Don't do it.

I need a coat.

I need a coat.
