- [Gail] Jimmy Carter saw a U.F.O. once.

- What's that, Miss Cash?

- Miss Cash, ooph, my Kenny always said,

last names were for social security checks.

You like me calling you Lawrence or Mr. Talbot?

Gail, it's Gail.

- Gail, sorry, old habits.

(chuckles)

- Georgia, October 1969, said it was as bright as the moon.

10 minutes it floated in the sky,

floatin' up there like a ship at sea.

My Kenny loved this boat,

used to call it the other woman.

Now, look at it.

Damn shame.

You know, my Kenny, he saw a Sasquatch once.

- Yeah, you told me.

- Mm-hmm, said it was the biggest thing he'd ever seen.

Sasquatch, sounds like a vegetable, don't it?

Hmm.

- Yeah.

- That thing coulda ripped him apart,

but you know what it did?

- Yeah, he chewed on a berry--

- And kept on walkin', yeah.

Chewed on a berry and kept on walkin'.

I never forgot that.

You know, when somethin' hides,

it's only a matter of time before it comes back up.

Nothin' stays buried forever, like Elvis.

- Elvis?

- Yeah, witness protection program.

The King will only stay under wraps for so long.

The things he's seen and knows

open the eyes of a lot of people in this world,

a lot of people, secrets, big ones.

He's out there just waitin' for his time.

You comin' to the meetin' tonight, five o'clock?

- Yeah, as always, I'll be there.

- Good, 'cause that's the rule.

- It's no problem.

- Lawrence, you remember,

even a man who's pure at heart

and says his prayers by night,

even he needs a little help from the man upstairs, hmm?

(tense music)

You seen a cat around here, black?

Almost black?

I think it's dark blue but everyone says

there's no such thing as a dark blue cat, so a black cat.

Here, cat!

- [Jake] Hi, my name is Lawrence, and I'm an alcoholic.

- [Group] Hi Lawrence.

- Go on, Lawrence.

- Um.

Well, I, it's seven months

or something like that since my last drink,

and I guess I didn't really know where I was goin',

so I kinda let the bottle lead the way,

and well, then Miss Gail was kind enough

to take me in and bring me here.

- He's a sensible boy, a little lost maybe, but sensible.

- Thank you, Gail.

Go on, Lawrence, continue.

- Uh, uh, well, I spent some time in the service.

I never went overseas, but I had some friends that did,

and they, they didn't exactly come back the same.

I guess I moved here to make a new start.

Thankfully, sobriety came into my life,

and ah, thank you, amen.

- Thank you for your share.

(dramatic music)

- [Jake] Hi, my real name's Jake Gabriel.

It's been about three hours since my last drink

because if I stop drinkin',

I may kill every single one of you.

(suspenseful music)

- Hey, you okay in there?

Erika.

(tense music)

Listen, I get the adjustment to coming back from,

you know, from being over there has gotta be pretty freaky,

but this whole lone wolf attitude,

it needs a little adjustment.

Maybe you should just call that old boyfriend of yours

you keep talking about.

(door rattling)

Are you all right in there?

Erika, look, I just,

I don't wanna see you get fired, that's all.

I'd hate this place without you.

So just, you know, just keep an eye on that temper, okay?

(door rattling)

Break's over already?

Erika, hurry up!

I wouldn't tell her where you are.

Yeah, so I'll be there by 16:00 hours tomorrow.

- Hey, who's your top five favorite actors.

- Don't much watch TV out here.

- Not TV, movies.

Me, I like real actors, before they became politicians.

Guys like Steve McQueen, John Wayne,

Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune, and Steve McQueen.

- You said McQueen twice.

- Well, I just like sayin' his name.

You have maps of the stars up here?

- Yeah, and they're fully updated.

- Fully updated?

- [Nikita] Mm-hmm.

- You mean stars actually live up here.

0h yeah, it's been a hot spot for years.

- It's like the middle of no where.

- Yeah, but that's the way they like it.

A star, I mean.

- Well, Lance Henderson did stay here a couple nights.

- Wow, the guy from Aliens?

- Oh yes, and he was nice.

- Ah, that's bitchin'.

Hmm.

(chains clanking)

- Is it my execution time?

- Is that what you think we are?

Executioners, huh?

- Part of me's kinda hopin' you are.

- Maybe it's your will to fight,

but I see more of the soldier in you than the animal,

and I think you can help us.

- I can't help you.

- I think you can.

We have some backup comin',

but I kind of feel that you're the key

I once had a girlfriend, yeah.

She was a bonafide

I mean, she had a body that just wouldn't quit.

You could slap a t-shirt on her

and a microscopic pair of shorts

and you'd swear it was Daisy from Dukes of Hazard.

Now, why was she with me?

(laughing)

I was a guy and she was a girl,

and I watching my game or I was polishin' my '68 Stang,

and she would walk up to me

and give me one of those lip gloss kisses,

and she would say, do you love me?

Now, she knew every goddamn time what the answer was,

but she still had to ask.

And then one day I went up to her and I said,

how come every time I am lost in thought,

you have to ask me that question.

- Morning General, it's beautiful day

to buy weapons today, isn't it sir?

I got 7.62 gas-operated, magazine-fed, air-cooled weapons.

They're modified, sir.

If you miss, the flame will kill 'em.

Sir, I got Ithaca, Ithaca eight-shot riot pumps

with nitroglycerin rounds, which triple odd buck

and pulls a hubcap apart at 100 years.

(coughing)

Tell me what you need.

Tell me what you need, what you got going.

I can help you with anything.

I got MAC-10s.

They do the job, sir, they do the job.

Sir, that's a steal.

(stuttering)

Listen, when I was Vietnam in Grenada,

we used the MAC-10s, we used the AK-47s.

I got it all right in my van except U-238,

I have no U-238, that's a six-month back orders.

- Gunny, I'm going to want only what I ask for

and I'm gonna give you only what you ask for.

- Sir, I been on three operations.

I'm a patriot just like you.

I love the red, white, and blue.

God bless America, sir.

I mean, I can be available to go with you,

even I'm cheap, sir, I'm cheap, I can, but sir.

I mean, you need an extra hand, sir?

I'm available.

- [Tony] Frank.

- [Jones] I can bring the weapons as part of the deal, sir,

- Hey, Gunny Jones.

- [Jones] Sergeant Major.

- [Frank] Super fine, mate.

Super fine, how you doin'? - What's going on, sir?

How you doin'?

- I'm all right. - Put a little weight on

- But there's a six-pack underneath here.

- Six-pack of what, sir?

- Yeah, that's pretty funny.

- But listen, listen, listen, listen,

what's up with the general?

- Well, he's a little long in the tooth,

He's gettin' cranky, you know?

Listen, I can take this--

- Two-guy operation, we can't, it's too deep,

it's too undercover. - What you got goin' on?

Oh, come on, Jake, most men

wouldn't look so disappointed waking up with three women.

is trying to teach you now, Jake?

Doesn't it feel better not to rely on those pills,

those drinks, just lettin' your body heal on its own?

You don't even have a hangover, do you?

It's okay.

- He's got it in him too.

- Give up on him.

He's done.

We don't need him.

- We do.

- [Justine] You brought us here for him to lead us.

Look at him.

(groaning and panting)

- The strength inside of him will crush you.

(groaning)

Leave us.

(tense music)

(panting)

It's okay, it's part of the process.

- Process of what?

- Well, I actually don't know it yet,

but I know it's something amazing.

Do you remember the first time we met?

Playground in front of the high school.

You just broke up with what's her name.

And we were on the swing sets

and I asked you, aren't you a little too old to do that,

and then you said,

what'd you say, Jake?

(panting)

Hmm.

(Erika sighs)

Mm, just like that beach.

Do you remember our beach, Jake?

Thailand, white sand, blue, blue water.

(chuckles)

And naked Thai chicks.

And then what, Jake?

- Then we take off our clothes and dive into the water.

- Yes, and then we come up

as clear and pure as the day we were born.

- You know, every time I get close to feelin'

what you're feelin' right now,

I think about a story my Kenny used to tell.

This old Cherokee grandfather was talkin' to his grandson

about the battle that rages inside of people.

He said there's two wolves inside each of us.

One wolf is a bad wolf, the evil wolf.

He's got rage and anger and hatred and jealousy

and inferiority, superiority, and false pride,

and the other wolf is good,

love and caring, peace, serenity, compassion, faith,

and they're fightin' this battle to the end,

and the little boy thought about it for a minute

and he said, but grandpa, which wolf wins?

And the old Cherokee said, well,

it's the one you feed.

It's the one you feed.

(dramatic music)

(upbeat rock music)

- He was here.

- Ford's coming.

(tense music)

- They want us dead.

We have to protect our own.

- Once we leave, find our place, they will never find us.

- We fight now, we finish it.

We have followed you on this chase long enough.

He is not fit to be one of us.

- He is almost ready.

- I'm beginning to think

you're getting your old bond back with him, a human need.

- Revenge is the human need.

- I am not letting him get in the way of our survival.

- Our survival is about our strength,

not about their demise.

Our future is in his hands, not theirs, not yours.

I will find Jake, wait for me in the woods.

Stay focused, okay?

- You'll do what you have to when you find him?

(tense music)

- That perhaps no human power

could have relieved our alcoholism, that God--

- [Group] Could and would if he were sought.

- Well, I'm sure all of you are aware

that I'm not super into this support group thing,

but any chance to get out of the house is cool.

which of course, is Bonna, who has 46 years this month.

Yay, Bonna, yay, happy birthday.

and that you guys were at that time

just a gleam in your father's eyes

and that I've been lucky enough to hang in here

see how screwed up you can be.

- Excuse me.

(tense music)

- Yeah, I just, I'm looking for somebody.

and we're tight as sticks,

and what's parked in front of us but this big truck

with all these chickens in a bunch of cages with wooden,

and we decide that we're gonna get them out,

we give them their freedom.
