The United Nations has extended its emergency session amid mounting pressure

to grant global asylum to U.S. citizens, fleeing the increasingly authoritarian

regime. Legal travel in and out of the country is heavily restricted, and due

process now completely suspended.

Territories along the northern and southern borders remain in limbo after

years of unresolved land disputes.

These regions, heavily guarded by statesmen, are known as Internal Border

Zones, or IBZs.

The IBZ is not safe.

The area has been infiltrated by statesmen.

They're killing anyone trying to cross the border.

If you're trying to get...

There you go, you're all clear

Don't you think this is a delicate state?

I'd soon over girls with no makeup.

But it turns out she's just paper.

You turn your misleading light on.

I'm the host, but you're the one who will win.

Stand till the time your cries are like mine.

All right, y'all.

Welcome to the IBZ.

Feel free to move about the cabin.

Are you sure?

Kind of seems like an unnecessary risk.

Up to you, but we're past the last checkpoint.

Plus, we got about another hour to go.

Okay, good.

I have to pee so bad.

Everyone out.

You positive this is okay? I mean, we can stay in the back if there's a chance

of getting stopped again.

Haven't seen a checkpoint this far out, but if it makes you feel better, do as

you may.

This isn't what I expected.

What'd you picture?

Soldiers. How do you flush this thing?

There's a chain in the back.

You gotta pull on it.

Oh, found it.

Do you know if there'll be any internet at the house?

The only internet access is when you cross the real border.

So this is what it feels like to fly coach.

You alright?

Do I look alright?

There you go. Thanks.

Oh, wow.

Uh, this all sucks.

Yeah, the shelves are pretty empty.

But look, I got hot dogs.

Everybody loves hot dogs.

This is tragic.

Vince, did you see that half of this stuff has expired?

You can add, like...

Three more months to those dates. Yeah, not for dairy, you dingus.

Well, switch me next time. You know I hate going to the store.

Did you not get drinks?

The liquor store was closed.

But... I got beer.

Yeah, I... No, it's fine. It's great. We're throwing a frat party. That's what

I was hoping for.

Oh, I forgot that we're running a bed and breakfast and expecting Yelp

reviews. No, I just like the idea of our place being a little dignified.

Everybody deserves normalcy as long as possible in this situation.

And also, I still have to live here.

Okay. So I should... Check for wine in the cellar. Right.

Wine equals dignity.

Yes, ma'am. Right away. Ma'am.

And put new air fresheners in the bathroom.

Got it.

Ugh.

Oh, wow.

Looks like a vacation house.

It's orange.

Discreet. It's a butte, isn't it?

Welcome to paradise!

Hey, Vince!

Guys, make sure you grab all of your stuff, including your wrappers and water

bottles. I am not Team Janitor. I am your transportation, all right?

Let's do this.

Oh, that's me.

All right.

Here you go.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm the leather.

Got that?

Yep. Perfect.

Little one, come on.

Phone goes away and does not come back out, okay?

Go.

What about me?

All these are yours?

Mm-hmm. It's a whole set.

There's four of them.

Four.

The limit was one.

And these luggage is way too bright, man.

That's not gonna work.

What do you mean?

You can't cross without a lease.

You're supposed to blend in with the environment.

So you got to switch the duffels or something.

Garbage bag if there's nothing else.

Garbage bag?

Say what I said.

Well, I can tip you if you help me.

Hey, Rome.

Hey. Hey, girl.

Hi. Oh.

Zoe! Hi!

So good to see you.

Can you help me please?

I can't believe you're at my house.

How long has it been?

A while.

Hi, who the fuck is this?

Zoe, you remember my little sister Claire?

I do, actually.

Yeah, you were just starting high school the last time I saw you. And now you're

all grown up. This is wild.

Oh my god.

You're Zoe. You're... You're Vince's Zoe from... Yeah, yeah, that was me. Wow.

Hi.

Welcome. It's so good to see you.

Yeah, it's so great to see you guys. And hi, everyone else. Hi.

Hey. Hi. How you doing? Hi, we're so glad that you made it. I'm sure it's

been a really long journey for most of you. It has.

Let's see, you are Tori.

Jordan. I'm Tori. Hi, Claire.

You must be Andrew. Montebello.

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your hospitality.

Sure. Do you have a balcony room?

A balcony? I could check. Okay, thanks. I just, I get a little stuffy.

You know what? Why don't you guys follow me this way, and I can show you where

everyone's staying. Okay.

Can someone help me, maybe? Yeah, I guess. Thank you.

I just, oh, thank you, Jordan.

How you been?

What have you been up to? What's going on?

Let's, let's catch up later.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Everyone will have their own room.

There's toiletries in the bathroom.

Let's go home. No, no, no. I got it. I got it. Please make yourself at home. I

got it.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Milady. And you can all drop your bags right there.

Do statesmen patrol the IBZ? I mean, do we need to, like, stay away from

windows and all of that?

No, statesmen are banned from having soldiers in the zone.

Plus, we have a private residency pass.

We do try to keep it under 10 people or so at a time to avoid any extra

attention, but...

The IBZ patrol respects the property jurisdiction, so... Yeah, you're about

as safe as you can be.

So you can look out any windows you want and even use the pool and hot tub.

There's a hot tub?

Um, can I ask how you got a residency pass?

As far as I know, that's just for diplomats. Well, to be honest, it's our

parents' place, and our dad worked for the administration.

He's dead now.

During the first rounds of martial law, he and a bunch of other, you know,

wealthy people helped secure a deal to carve out about 100,000 acres of

sovereign land out here.

Yeah, it doesn't belong to the states or Mexico or the IBZ. It's just ours.

I'll get drinks.

Nice. A private VIP area for the rich to get away from it all.

We appreciate you guys using your place to help us out.

Of course.

Okay, let's get everyone settled into their rooms, and then we'll meet back

here to discuss next steps.

Okay.

Upstairs. Andrew to the left.

Zoe to the right. Jordan, Tori, you're this way.

Oh, my God.

Ice Mountain Lager.

Just drink it.

Hey,

this one's you.

Cool.

Thanks.

Yeah, uh, sorry, but can you open up your fanny pack for me?

Um, I guess, but why you gotta do that?

You know there's no phones allowed here?

Yeah.

So do you have a phone?

If I did, would you kick me out?

Let me see it.

It's okay.

Come on.

It's fine.

I'm gonna hold on to this.

Phone stays off until you reach the border.

It's not a joke.

It's not just for my safety, but for yours and for everyone else who took the

chance to come here.

Okay? Sorry, I just assumed since all the cell towers were down, phones

wouldn't be a problem. Yeah, your phone still emits radio frequencies.

Even these older models.

It's always scanning for a tower, even if there isn't one.

Okay.

My bad.

It's okay.

Just keep it off, okay?

Bathroom's down the hall.

I'll be here if you need me, and we'll be in the dining room whenever you're

ready.

Okay?

Okay, Dad.

Hey.

Hi. Everything look comfy?

Yeah, it's perfect. Thanks. Good.

Uh, sorry if this feels invasive, but I actually gotta check your bags.

Yeah, no problem.

Okay. You know, if this is too weird, I can always ask Claire to do it.

No, it's no problem.

Okay.

No cell, no devices that can connect to the Internet.

Nope. Followed all the guidelines.

Okay.

Oh.

What about this guy?

This is not on the approved list.

No internet access and... no tape.

It was just so hard to get that, I didn't want to leave it behind.

Okay.

I'll allow it.

Okay, I will let you get settled in and Sorry again for having to check the bags

just protocol.

It's all good. I get it Okay See you out there.

I'll see you too.

Okay

Okay, let's get started.

So, this is us within the IBZ.

This is the border checkpoint where you'll enter Mexico.

Now, technically, this post is not accepting asylum seekers.

I'm sorry, what? Don't panic if they deny entry at first.

Our contact will have a list of your name, so you're just gonna present your

ID and wait, and then a bus will take you to a refugee center, and you can

contact friends or family members.

How do we get to the border point?

I'm not great with maps.

Or wilderness.

Yeah, I second that.

I assume there's going to be an ATV of some sort.

No. A golf cart.

Something with a motor. It's too risky. There's got to be a path to follow, like

a trail, right?

Well, it's not exactly like a trail.

It's just an area that... Wow. How many miles is that? It's like 100 miles.

It's not 100 miles.

Everyone's going to get a map and a compass when it's their turn to go.

Did you say turn?

Yes, we will need to stagger everyone one by one. That is unacceptable.

I mean, you can't trap people in this type of situation. That's how we have to

do this. What's a company? Hey!

Anybody who wants to is welcome to leave with me tomorrow.

All right, problem solved.

I mean, unless you got your own way out, your connections at the border,

underground tunnel, TSA, pre-check, we will take you back home. You are not

trapped. It's okay. They're just scared.

Yeah, and they got free will.

Hell, me personally, I think cops with military-grade weapons is scary.

No due process and be in jail to work as a prison laborer is scary.

All right, but if y'all are afraid of hiking, we will take y'all right the

fuck back. Chill out, bro.

We're just afraid. I mean, of getting lost or running into statesmen. I mean,

these are valid concerns.

Listen, this is y'all last shot to crossing that border.

All right?

We... are risking our lives to save y'all's.

All right, now, if y'all knew a better way, then maybe y'all should have just

taken that den.

Fucking ungrateful group.

It's only about eight miles. You can think of it like a long workout.

And, uh, the office still stands.

Plenty of room in the RV.

All right. I can't. I can't. One taker.

Anybody else? We just want to know if this is safe. It is. It's safe. And we

have our contact radio us when people get across.

And almost everybody makes it. Almost? Almost everyone?

There's no guarantees.

But either Claire or I will go out a little bit of the way with you all, show

you how to follow the map, read a compass, and what markers to check for.

I think we should start tomorrow afternoon.

I guess we don't have a hell of a lot of options.

I suppose we don't.

Andrew, do you want Rome to take you back?

No.

I want to get out of this shithole of a country.

But I don't know if I'm going to be able to take all this on the hike, so...

Who wants a cocktail?

Oh.

You two ladies want to take a dip?

Um, no thanks.

You sure?

I can ask Claire if you two can borrow a bathing suit.

Um, no. We're good.

Thanks, though.

Party poopers.

Are you sure you're okay?

Try this.

Right?

Oh, my God.

Was that Omas?

Good girl. I'm impressed.

How did you get this into the States?

How much did it cost you a fortune?

A small one, yes.

I have a friend that has a shipping port.

Part of the reason I didn't leave sooner.

Hard to realize how messed up everything is when you're importing caviar.

So, why leave at all, then? Well, my donation to the West Coast Opera got

flagged. Anti-government propaganda, they said. The opera? Really?

Mm-hmm.

Treason. They froze all of my assets.

At least the ones they knew about.

Excuse me, guys?

Romeo, try this.

Oh, no.

No. And it's Rome, by the way. I'm sorry.

I'm still getting names.

But come on. Who knows when we're going to get to try something like this again.

It's so good, Rome. Come on. Come on. There we go.

I'll bump that, baby. Do it. Do it. Do it.

Right?

Right.

It's good.

There you go.

My little high class buddy.

Head on back. Thank you.

Fair boarding school, girl. You can tell, huh?

You can spot us from a mile away.

It's not easy for people like us, fitting in.

True.

You must be as surprised as I am to be here.

You are not wrong.

Do you want another bump?

Sure.

Oops. I don't know how this... I don't know how this got here.

Are you okay?

Oh, shit.

Sorry.

They didn't tell me that caviar tastes like fish ass.

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description.

You should try it on a chicken nugget next time.

Noted.

You good?

Yeah.

I'm sorry if I was acting like a dick earlier.

No, you were totally right.

You three are risking everything, and we freaked out over... Walking. I get it. Y

'all are taking a huge leap of faith.

Man, I probably would be skeptical, too.

You never thought about crossing?

Yeah, a few times.

But there's nothing waiting for me out in Mexico.

And plus, I've been able to do a lot of good here, too.

So... I think I've done all I can do without landing myself in jail.

I still can't believe Vince turned out to be this guy.

What kind of guy is that?

Like a refugee smuggling guy.

I guess you don't know who has the balls to step up until the time comes.

So y'all dated?

Yeah, high school.

I'm pretty sure you wasn't like that until you had to be.

Hell, most of us wasn't. Hey, guys, come on. I insist.

Everyone in the pool.

Rome, trunks for you.

Zoe.

Varsity Backstroke champ.

Come on.

Let's have a little fun. Let's do it.

Let's go for a little swim.

Let's go.

I don't know.

You shouldn't have given me this.

But you're funny when you're drunk.

I'm funny all the time. I just did.

There we go.

I'll raise because I can tell that you're bluffing. I assure you, you could

not tell if I was bluffing because there's so much Botox in my face, it

doesn't move.

See?

Okay, fine.

Here we go.

What?

Okay, I fold anyway. Oh, I think I folded a while ago. Yeah, me too. Oh,

you won.

You won, you won, you won.

Here you go. Do we have milk?

Maybe coffee cream.

Well, I'm looking.

Check the date.

If I was milk, where would I be? You told me you were already going to bed.

Yeah, a while ago.

Oh,

my God.

Oh, smoke. Is that coconut milk? I'll get some cups.

Vince.

Zoe. We've got milk and cookies. What?

What?

Oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh.

Lo siento mucho.

My bad.

I'll sell you sweet Spanish. I do. No, we'll join you. I want to play. I

definitely want some cookies. I bet you do.

Hey.

We'll deal you in.

My bad. My bad. No, no, no, no.

Let's play a game. My bad.

Yeah.

Alright, what are we playing?

It's all good.

Let's just play a game.

Alright,

I'm heading to bed.

Oh, hey, there's some extra rooms upstairs.

Let me grab you some blankets.

I got all my stuff in the RV.

I'm just gonna kick it there tonight, okay?

Alright, give a shout if you need anything.

Yo, tonight was dope.

It was.

Hey, um...

I think I really needed a night like this.

You know, us too.

I haven't had this much fun in a while.

I'm glad.

Good night. Good night.

Stay for a little longer.

No, I'm gonna... No, I've had enough.

Hey, Claire.

Hey. I'm just gonna help Zoe get settled in.

Okay.

Sure. We're just going to catch up a bit, then head to bed. I promise.

Yeah. Well, he doesn't have a curfew. You guys can do whatever you want.

Have fun.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Good night.

Good night.

Was that mortifying for some reason? Yeah.

I felt like I was talking to your mom.

Oh, you are way less convincing than you used to say that to my mom.

Stop.

Stop. Oh, stop.

Oopsies.

You want to... No.

No, I think we should talk.

I was just going to say sit.

I'm not... Interested?

Available.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't know that you would... No,

don't be sorry. I got a little swept up.

And a little drunk.

I mean, you didn't cross the line at all, honestly.

So it's... You know, I thought that we were gonna, but... I wanted to, I swear.

But someone's waiting for me.

Husband. No.

But it's serious.

We call each other...

Life partners.

Life partners.

Nice.

So, he's in Mexico?

Yeah, just left a couple weeks ago.

You know, I never really thought I'd get the chance to see you again, so...

I'll still take this as a win, I guess.

I'm really glad you're here.

Same.

Okay, um...

I'm going to get out of your room, let you sleep.

Okay.

Would it be a dick move to tell you that I'm still here if you change your mind?

A little.

I won't then.

Good. Good.

Okay.

Goodnight, friend.

Goodnight.

Hey. Hey.

I don't want to be rude, but are you going to be a problem?

I promise there's no SIM card.

Yeah, but I don't think I could have been clear about the rules here.

I just downloaded some old movies.

They help me calm down when I'm feeling anxious.

Please don't be mad.

Your anxiety.

You know my sister and I are risking our whole livelihood to help out strangers.

But you can't stop watching videos for 24 hours.

Let me see.

Come on, I want to see what you're watching.

Want to show me?

Bet you miss seeing brown actors on TV, huh?

I can do without it until I leave here.

It was selfish of me.

Sorry. No, don't... Don't be sorry.

It's okay.

You know, if it's that important to you,

I'm sure you can work something out.

That's okay.

I don't want to put anyone at risk.

Now you don't want to put anybody at risk.

I just, I really want you to be comfortable.

So if you want, I can let you in on a little secret.

Sorry, I'm not interested.

No, that's not... Whoa.

I just want you to be... prepared at ease

you know we try not to freak you guys out but

there are a lot of predators out there

mountain lions coyotes if one does

approach this could be your only line defense the rock

oh yeah this can do some serious damage, you know?

So if I see one, you want me to throw rocks at it?

Yeah.

That could be a good strategy.

But... if one does get too close,

you could just...

What did you do?

Hey, you're up late. Are you shitting me?

Are you shitting me? Look at her fucking face.

Look at all your titties. You didn't even know what happened.

Do I need to know what fucking happened? You're acting like a fucking psychopath.

I fucked up, okay?

Will you help me move her body to the frickin' shed?

Piece of shit.

Not a piece of shit. Fuck you. Have a tight.

Come on, just use your legs or something. Could you be quiet? I am

being quiet. This is me whispering.

Her ankles are tighter.

Will you pick her up?

If that was an option, I would have done it, but I don't have your Neanderthal

fucking hand.

Will you shut the fuck up?

Come over here and pick her up.

Oh, fuck you.

I don't need your help.

It's like I can't let you out of my sight for five seconds.

Oh,

you're up. Good morning.

Hi, morning.

Yeah, I just thought I'd get a jump on things.

Coffee? Uh, yeah, in a bit.

I wanted to do a little bit of yoga out back, if you don't mind. Yeah, no, be my

guest. Yeah, I just wanted to clear my head before the big trip.

Oh, that reminds me.

We can actually bump you till tomorrow morning because Tori was feeling

jittery. She just wanted to get it over with, so Vince took her out early this

morning.

Oh, uh, okay. So that puts Andrew early this evening, you first thing tomorrow.

Yeah, I guess there's plenty of time to clear your head.

Okay.

What time is it?

I had a dream I was in Brazil.

Oh.

Is there any more scotch?

Morning. Morning.

Everyone sleep okay?

Like a rock.

Yep. How about you?

Okay.

But, uh, weird dreams.

Got where I was when I woke up. You need hair of the dog.

Oh, no thank you.

Did you hear the news?

Tori left.

She went back?

To the border.

You're kidding. She was supposed to go last.

Apparently, she got nervous and wanted to get it over with. Vince took her out

hours ago.

Wow. Gen Z, they're the most anxious generation. It's actually kind of sad,

miserable creatures.

I guess, can you blame them?

So I guess we all gained a few hours.

That's nice.

Oh, yeah, it's real nice.

I get to go at night now, so...

That's nice.

Yay.

Oh, sorry you got screwed in that. It's fine.

I was a Boy Scout for a week.

So, I guess we have to stay a little longer.

I guess I don't mind.

Bet you don't.

How is the little mountain man, by the way?

He's hardly a mountain man. He used to golf.

And we're just friends.

But it is nice to see him.

Does he have a good backswing?

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know.

You tell me.

Does he swing to the back?

Like... Does he have a big... Yo.

Hey, what's up, bro? Morning.

Okay, how about this? So, I was thinking, since all of my next pickups

are all in the Southwest... I could pick everybody up in about a day or so.

Is it cool if I kick you here to Monday?

Yeah, man, you're always welcome here.

Okay, dope.

And, uh, last night, that was kind of dope. It was fun, right? Mm-hmm. This

turned out to be a dope group after all.

I can't argue with that.

All right, I'm going to head on to my RV and pick up some things.

Maybe we can do a round two tonight.

Let's do it.

Yo, guys!

Hey! Yo!

Yo!

Yo!

Yo, guys!

Yo, y'all gotta listen to this!

Yo! Come here!

Yo, listen.

So, normally, my radio picks up on, like, some random salsa stations or

something like that.

Today is picking up on this on repeat.

and will open their borders for the next 48 hours dependent on specific phone

capacity.

Any American... Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Okay, open borders. We're already in the

IBC, so we can just go. Then let's go. Let's get our shit. Let's drive.

I can drive. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up, guys.

It's an enticing prospect, but we don't know. We shouldn't have any trouble,

right? I mean, we're already past all the statesmen's checkpoints. And we'd

want to go quickly. The border will probably be swarmed within hours. Yeah,

I can get us there, like, in 30 minutes. I mean, there's some dirt roads at the

bottom of the hill that connects to the main border.

I mean, that's if the IB... Guys, I'm so sorry that this got your hopes up, but

this... this has happened before.

What happened?

Open borders. They were announced, and we sent out an entire group.

Troops were waiting at the border, and they arrested everyone. They sent them

back to private prison systems.

We lost everybody, including our last driver.

It was a shitty day.

Yeah.

I can't believe we haven't heard about it.

That's state-run media for you.

Yeah, as far as we can tell, there never were any open borders. It was just a way

to catch defectors.

I mean, look, if any of you want to go now, it'd be wrong of us not to warn

you. Well, I don't think I could bear putting any of them at risk in Rome.

I don't want to lose you.

So can we still get across on foot, or does this complicate everything?

Yeah, I'll reach out to my contact, but most likely that's still the safest way.

Stick to the plan.

Yeah.

No need to take the risk when we're already this close.

Those fucking bastards.

Luring desperate people to the border like that.

Night hike it is.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Anything come through?

Nothing. That's weird.

Announcement came in so clear earlier.

Yeah, and it's gone just like that.

I can't believe I almost fell for that.

Man, ain't no way this shit was real, man.

Don't beat yourself up.

Who would expect anyone to be that cruel?

Here,

let me help.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm gonna give you something, and I don't want you to take this the wrong

way.

I'm gonna give you my gun.

I'm sorry, what?

You have a gun?

You have a gun? I couldn't even bring a blow dryer. Yes, I know that. I hid it.

Now I want you to have it.

Wait.

Why do I need a gun more than you?

Don't answer that.

I'm leaving in the daylight.

Okay, I'll be fine.

And you want me to have it?

Why not Zoe?

I don't know if she'll need it.

I think she might stay here.

With Vance.

Okay, you can give it back to me in Mexico City.

Okay?

I... How do I hold it?

Don't. Just put it in the back of your pants.

Just put it in.

Shit.

Is it in? Yes, yes.

If anything goes wrong out there, just fire up a couple of shots.

Then what?

Then I'll hear it.

I'll come find you.

Okay. All right.

You walk regular.

Andrew, for the love of God, can we just... It's sliding down.

Careful where you step in the dark.

Watch out for snakes.

And coyotes.

Good God.

You'll be fine.

I've got no worries at all.

In a few hours, you'll be sipping margaritas.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Pleasure was ours.

Oh, and thank you for the, uh, tote. It's sporty, like you.

Claire, you okay with going out this late at night by yourself?

I can always take over if you need me to.

I'm sure that you could, but let's be honest, a night trek requires stealth,

and that's not really your strong suit.

Okay. You two have fun.

We will.

Be safe.

Farewell, everyone.

I'll see you in Mexico.

Drinks on me.

Bye, Andrew.

Wait.

I don't know, I guess I never considered myself an agitator, but now that that

role has been thrust upon me, I kind of like it.

Really?

Yeah, it's, like, gonna really serve me in this next chapter of my life.

Gonna open a faction of this freedom train in Mexico?

Sure, why not?

I could house other Americans. I could, I don't know, testify at the UN.

Who knows?

I mean, I always felt like I was contributing with my philanthropy,

but... Being around you guys, it's... I don't know, it's... The defecting and

the scheming, it's just all so... Visceral. Exactly.

Well, that's admirable of you, Andrew. It really is. Thank you. But in

circumstances like these, we all have to fulfill the role we're best suited for,

and there's probably a reason you were drawn to philanthropy.

What's that mean?

Oh, it's easy.

It assuages your guilt, but requires nothing from you.

I mean, that's one way to look at it, but...

I don't know.

I think people change.

And you think you've changed in the past two days?

I mean, not instantaneously, no, but I think this could be like, you

know, the epicenter of a new... You saved your own skin.

You were perfectly comfortable watching other people's freedoms get stripped

away until it was your bank account that got frozen.

You squeezed everything that you could from the States until there was nothing

left for you and then you skip town Escaping doesn't make you part of the

revolution It's a little harsh.

Don't you think?

I'm just doing what I have to do to survive.

Oh, I don't say it to be hurtful I'm in the same boat We're all operating off

survival instincts here Even if we want to believe that we're capable of some

benevolent selfless nature that is So bleak.

I actually like to think that, I don't know, people evolve.

I mean, look at you and your brother.

You two are the embodiment of altruism.

Nothing you do is self-serving.

Well, wouldn't that be nice?

Sorry.

I don't think there's such a thing as free luxury.

Continuing our conversation from earlier, I don't think that the world is

naturally harmonious.

There's people at the top, and then there's people getting trampled.

And until this weekend, or now really, you've been at the top.

I'd say that it's survival of the fittest, but obviously luck has

something to do with it.

And as things changed so drastically these past few years, one thought

dominated all the others for me.

Don't be on the bottom.

And you, you're like a live cautionary tale.

You threw away your luck for the opera, but maybe that was worth it for you.

I just can't relate.

Right to this.

Fucking bitch!

Safety's on.

So excited to make this for you. It's the least I could do.

No, stop.

You don't have to do that. No, I want to.

Come on, you're a guest. It's okay.

Well, it's not like I'm busy doing other things.

Besides, your cooking always kind of sucked.

Hey, I've developed a lot of skills since I was 19.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Most of them aren't kitchen appropriate.

Okay. You can peel the potatoes. That's it.

All right. Thank you.

Have you cooked potatoes before?

Cooked potatoes? Like boiled potatoes?

They're hooking up, right?

Maybe.

But I'm pretty sure he's always got a boyfriend.

Mm, he's not here.

Maybe they're not totally together.

Damn, that's cold.

But she does look happy.

Hey, sometimes you gotta get out of a situation that's not working to figure

out what does.

I take it you can relate?

My husband and I were both cops in Baltimore.

I quit as soon as I realized that the new administration wanted us to enforce

all these just...

He didn't feel the same.

In fact, I think he... he liked it.

Hmm.

Made him feel powerful.

He doesn't know you're here?

As far as he knows, I'm visiting my sister right now.

He'll figure it out in a few days.

But I will consider myself divorced when I cross that border.

Okay, well...

Happy divorce.

Happy divorce.

Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty good recipe.

Yeah.

You've worked here for a little while, right?

Yeah, a little over a year now.

And you've never questioned, like, what is going... Can

you get the signal back? Fuck, did that sound like the same dude?

Maybe. It's hard to tell.

Vince, what about your contact at the border?

What about him? Did he mention any of this to you? Did he say that it was a

hoax? Well, no.

But we have pretty limited communication.

He pretty much just says, go or next through a long-distance radio system

like walkie-talkies.

But you asked.

Yeah, of course I did.

I put the question out there.

He definitely would have confirmed this was real.

I don't think it is.

Does dinner at 8 work for everyone?

Yeah.

It works. Yeah, sure.

Okay, great. You want me to finish the potatoes? Yeah, that'd be good. Thank

you.

What the hell took you so long?

I wasn't in a hurry.

Everything go well? Oh, yeah. Did everything go well when I followed the

detailed pre-approved plan without freaking the fuck out? Yeah, it went

great. Why are you so condescending? I don't know. Maybe because you have the

self-control of a toddler.

Is this about... What's her name?

Who cares?

Who gives a shit about that girl? She's some dumb emo cunt. And Zoe?

What about her?

You gonna be able to handle that?

Of course I can.

If... I have to.

Which I don't think I will.

Why wouldn't you have to?

Because... I think she might want to stay here with me.

Oh my god, that's so stupid.

Listen to me, Vince.

Zoe cannot stay here, even if she wanted to. She can stay here if I want her to.

I'm serious.

She's the only target they care about on this run. Everybody else is expendable.

You don't know that.

Yeah, I do. She's carrying some very dangerous footage.

High-security tapes that you apparently missed on your very thorough sweeps.

Bullshit. Confirmed today. She's a fucking journalist, Vince.

No.

She's not.

She didn't tell me. Of course she didn't tell you.

Journalists are sneaky little rats.

Do you remember that guy Noah from Two Cycles Back?

Yeah.

That was her boyfriend.

Get the fuck out. Shh.

They worked for the same outlet.

I killed her boyfriend.

Yes.

Damn.

At least that's some good news.

Look.

You want to fuck her?

Good. Go for it. It gets lonely up here.

But tomorrow night, she's got to go.

I can handle it if you want. I have extra drinks.

No.

I got it.

Thank you, though.

Hey, you know, you are a pain in my ass, but I don't want to see your heart get

broken over this.

I'm heartless, baby.

Yeah, you wish.

Knock knock.

Hey, come on in. You were quiet at dinner.

Yeah, just thinking about stuff.

Wow.

This is like whole extra house.

Yeah, used to be my father's study, but now it's just my

pad.

You want a drink?

Oh, no thanks.

So, was this all his stuff?

Some of it.

Most of it's just junk people left before the trip.

There's some family photos, knickknacks.

You know, I think there might be an old prom picture of us here.

What?

Yeah, hold on a second. Let me find it.

Hey. How you holding up?

I'm good.

Yeah, a little nervous, but, you know, ready to get going tomorrow.

That's good.

Can I get you anything for the night? Cup of tea?

Glass of wine?

Uh, no.

Nope. I think I'm good. Thank you. Okay.

Are you sure?

It's our last night hosting you. Probably forever.

Come on, one glass.

You know what?

Yeah.

One glass might help me sleep great.

Oh, I'm so glad I could not bear the thought of drinking alone Why don't you

head to the couch and I'll bring us the glasses, okay?

Oh my god you're such a baby

I'm gonna say something

that I probably shouldn't Fair warning, okay?

I am warned.

I think you should stay.

Here? Yeah.

How stupid is that?

On like a scale of one to ten.

Less stupid than you may think.

Maybe like a three.

If I didn't have someone waiting for me, I'd seriously consider it.

Promise you're not just saying that to be nice?

I'm not.

No, uh... You guys are doing something really decent here, and I'd love to be a

part of it.

All right, I'm gonna head on to bed.

Rome, will you please take one of the spare bedrooms?

I already changed the sheets in Tori's room.

I mean, it would be nice to sleep in a bed I can actually fit in.

Okay, done.

There's blankets in the hall closet and extra toothbrushes in the spare

bathroom. Alrighty, thank you.

Don't mention it.

You're amazing.

Good night, Jordan.

Wait.

Thank you for everything.

I promise I'll say goodbye before I go tomorrow.

Okay. Good night.

All right.

See you out in the morning.

Good night.

All right. Here we go.

There you are.

You know what?

I think I'll pass.

Need to be clear-headed for tomorrow.

This might give me a headache.

What?

Nah, one won't get you. Come on.

No.

Thank you.

I'm going to bed.

Should have taken the wine.

I think I should go to bed.

Don't say that.

I don't wanna say or do anything I'm gonna regret.

Yeah, I guess I don't want that for you either.

It's not just my boyfriend.

When I get to Mexico, there's some business I have to take care of.

I have some tapes in my bag.

I know, I know, I lied. I'm sorry.

They're hidden in my backpack.

These tapes need to get to Mexican leadership.

And because of that, I can't even consider staying here, even if I wanted

to.

These tapes, they're important?

I have footage of the administration ordering airstrikes on its own citizens.

Damn.

Yeah, those are... Those are definitely important.

You know, I can help you get those tapes across the border without you.

You don't have to go.

You could just stay here.

It's much safer.

Please.

Think about it.

Hey, guys, you going to bed?

Yeah, I'm gonna force myself to get some sleep.

Okay, well, sweet dreams.

Long day for her, huh?

Yeah, I think she must have been nervous. She, um, couldn't put the

bottle down.

Oh, poor thing.

Yeah.

I'm gonna take Zoe upstairs, and then I'll grab Jordan some blankets.

That would be great, thanks.

Okay. Good night.

Watch your step.

It's just bullshit.

That's all I'm saying.

It's fine.

I'm fine. No, she knows exactly what she's doing. She's been getting you

worked up all weekend.

I think she's just playing coy.

Okay, she's not playing coy.

And I think that she likes seeing you worked up like that.

Do I need to tie her up or bag her or anything?

Not unless you want to.

She got the neuromuscular blocker, so she should be out for a few hours.

Consider that my gift to you.

Aww, that's so sweet of you.

Alright, have fun, sport.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where do you think you're going?

Tormenting's your thing.

I liked it better when we just poisoned everybody on night one.

You're treating this whole thing like a job.

Yeah, because it is a job. No, don't. Don't do that.

I don't want this.

Whatever demons you need to get out here is entirely your business.

Whoa, stop it.

You're oppressed as fuck, you know that?

No, I'm not.

You don't even know when you need to have a little fun. Get off me, you

psycho.

Fun? This is fun?

Yeah, fun.

Never heard of it?

Huh? No.

Hmm.

Mmm. No, it's too silly.

Mmm.

You see, sometimes the inner demons just need to be embraced.

What else are you gonna do? Talk about this with a therapist?

So I should just smash something?

Try a kneecap.

This feels insane. Oh my god, you literally murder people.

This will help you loosen up a little bit.

Rage!

Rage? Yeah, it's like self-care.

Okay.

Yeah?

Try the other one.

What?

I just wish she'd squirm a little more.

Look at her eyes.

You want to get the chainsaw?

Too fucking loud.

I know.

Oh, I got something for you.

Wow.

You are a sick bastard.

I know.

Where should I go?

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Hey, Jordan.

Hey.

Let's go.

Morning.

Morning. Coffee?

Uh, no, I'm good, but the stuff's in the cabinets.

Hey. Ooh, everything okay?

Hi. Tough workout?

Yeah, just, um, you know, I'm just a little out of shape that he'll kind of

make me sick a little bit. Oh, did you puke? Where did you run to?

You know, um, just over here, over there, you know, where we...

Drive up to get here. I think maybe you should sit down and have some water. Oh,

no, I'm good. I'm Probably just gonna just head back home, you know head out.

Yeah, I think it'll be nice to spend some time in my place you Wind down for

a little bit. Are you sure I can make you a cup of coffee? Yeah, I just uh, I

mean I was already gonna leave I think it'd be nice to Sleep at my own place

before I you know, go and get it.

I I really think that you should lie down.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

No, really, I'm okay. I'm just gonna grab my stuff and I'm gonna head on out.

Yeah.

Hey. Hi.

How'd you sleep?

Good. You?

I was up late thinking, but I got a few good hours in.

All right, see you guys.

Are you leaving, buddy?

Roman, wait up.

I probably won't see you, so thank you so much for everything.

Hey, be safe.

Vince, Claire, see you guys.

Hey, see you in a couple days, man. Hey, take care of yourself.

Okay, I'm gonna go, uh, fix up Jordan's room.

She already left?

Yeah, we got an early morning radio signal to send her out.

She wanted to say goodbye, but she didn't want to wake you up. Yeah.

Okay.

I'll see you in a little bit.

See you.

How did you do it?

Did you do a tranquilizer, poison, or a knife?

I actually used the knife.

Yeah? Yeah.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

We actually had a really nice talk right beforehand.

Huh. Yeah, nice guy.

Well, you seem like you're in a good mood.

I guess.

So, did you have fun last night?

It was fine.

Fine? Yeah, fine.

I saw you smiling when you hit those kneecaps.

That wasn't a smile.

That was an impact grimace.

Impact grimace.

So,

where is Zoe?

Packing.

Well... We can handle it however you want. You have my full support.

But I was thinking, since we're pretty alone now, we could try the chainsaw

thing. If you want.

You mean that?

Yeah.

Smaller pieces, easier to transport.

I'll think about it.

Hey Vince?

Vince?

Vince?

Hey Vince?

Hello?

Thank you.

Hey, we're on our way to one of IBC's famous safe houses.

Noah?

Northern borders closed and southern borders overwhelmed.

Citizens have five hours left to guarantee asylum.

With overcapacity, the force has narrowly shut down.

Those still seeking entry are urged to proceed immediately to the...

Not much of that was caught on camera.

Woo! Either she's not safe-

Happy as he's fine.

Just don't be a snitch.

Zoe?

Zoe?

Hey. Hi.

I was just looking for a book.

Okay.

You can borrow any book.

What's the camcorder doing out?

I thought it looked like mine, so I was wondering if it was the same model.

It is.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just a little nervous about the trip.

And leaving you, you know, it's been a whirlwind.

Yeah.

You know, I wonder...

come and see if you want to go on a walk and talk about those tapes you have, but

you seem not yourself.

What did you see?

What?

Nothing. I didn't see anything.

Zoe?

What did you see?

Hey, you're back.

Yeah, I just forgot a couple things.

Is Zoe here?

Yeah, of course she's still here.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Jordan?

Jordan left this morning.

Is something wrong?

Andrew?

Andrew?

Well, he's in Mexico.

Confirmed? Yeah, confirmed.

Okay.

Is it cool if I... Talk to Zoey.

Maybe you shouldn't.

Why not?

Because you're acting weird as fuck. That's why not.

Okay, well, you know what?

Whoa!

Yo, Carl, what the fuck are you doing?

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Yo, Zoey!

Yo, Zoey!

Zoey!

Yo, Zoey!

Zoey!

Oh, shit!

Girl, we gotta get the fuck out of here. Yeah, please!

Zoey?

Guys, what's going on?

Wait!

Shit, I forgot about the tapes.

Yeah, fuck them tapes. No, no, no. You don't understand.

People have died for this footage.

I have to go back.

Go.

Damn.

Did you

find

it?

Babe, please don't freak out.

Okay.

I know I kind of killed your boyfriend, life partner.

But if you think about it, that had to be fate, right?

What are the chances?

Are you scared?

No.

Are you mad at me?

No. No, I'm not mad.

Okay, good.

Good. It does feel like fate. Right?

Oh, my God.

I missed you so much, babe.

Yeah, I missed you, too.

We're gonna have such a great life together.

Zoe? Zoe?

Fuck.

Leave them, Zoe.

I'm not gonna fucking kill you.

I can give you everything you ever wanted.

I love you, Zoe.

I have the money. I have the military. There's no place for you to fucking go.

I can keep you safe here.

Fuck you, Vince.

You're such a fucking pussy, you know that?

I ran out of bullets.

That's why I didn't shoot her.

It's because I ran out of fucking bullets, okay?

I shot, by the way.

There's three over here, one upstairs, one in the woods.

There's an RV in the back that can go, too.

Hello. Any problems?

No. Not really. Everything was smooth.

We are keeping in mind that this is a covert operation.

Yes. Yes, Mother.

Good.

I learned you'll need a new driver.

And your father and I, we would like to send someone already on the payroll.

I kind of like choosing our own guy.

But, no, we'll... Take one of yours.

Thank you.

Oh, look, you've got two more groups.

One at the end of the week and the other at the end of the month.

And then I'm sure you'll both be ready for a nice, deserved vacation.

How long will we have?

Oh, several months.

You're almost at quota.

And then I'm sure you will both be eager to get back to civilization.

You cannot possibly fathom.

You know, it's pretty routine for me.

I can keep going if you need me to. Oh, that's very sweet of you, Vincent. But

not necessary.

What's necessary is a plastic surgeon.

She's not wrong.

Maybe it's time to make a change.

Of seasons.

Move things to the North Border operation.

Great. Thank you.

It's kind of hard out here.

you choose a sign

No time to try

Let's take a hand and hold on to you.

So take my hand.

days will be fun fun fun yeah fun fun fun I don't

know what we will do all I know is that I'll do my best for you
