WOMAN: This is the life.

You ain't gonna find a way out,

not north, not south, not anywhere else.

MAN: I want to talk to Proctor John.

I've got something that he wants.

Drink your milk.

I'd like to bring the others...

if that's all right.

Heading back to the dam.

We were thinking of maybe staying
behind a couple of days?

You know where to find us.

I'm supposed to unlock

They were coming regardless
of what I did or didn't do.

Part of the deal was protection for you,

your mother, and Alicia if she appears.

There's more than that.
There's more in it for you.

When the Proctors move
on, I'll hold the dam

Now that Daniel knows they're coming,

the deal might be queered.

I'm no longer confident

This was meant to be a

Dozen brothers dead.
