IT'S STARTING.

COME INSIDE.

COME ON IN, BOYS.

IT'S ON.

THE CROWD'S WAITING OUTSIDE UNITY HALL

LIKE IT WASN'T NEARLY FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

IT FEELS LIKE THE ONLY ONE NOT HERE YET

IS THE MAN HIMSELF.

IS HE DOING THE GOD THING?

OH, I HOPE NOT.

GOD'S NOT POPULAR RIGHT NOW.

HE DOESN'T CARE. HE LIKES GOD.

AND GOD LIKES HIM.

DETAIL!

HE'S HERE.

THE KING APPROACHES.

SIR, I'D FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT THIS

IF I COULD SEE YOUR SPEECH FIRST.

STOP ASKING.

WHERE'S REVEREND SAMUELS?

REVEREND SAMUELS ISN'T HERE YET.

NOT LIKE HIM TO MISS A CROWD.

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO START WITHOUT HIM.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO GIVE THE BENEDICTION.

WE COULD HOLD FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES.

IT'S COLD OUT THERE. THE PEOPLE ARE CHEERING.

WE'LL HAVE MY SON DO IT.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE WARM ENOUGH.

REALLY, SIR, YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY LISTENING,

AND YOU CHOOSE TODAY NOT TO LET ME SEE YOUR SPEECH?

I'D LOVE TO...

IF I'D WRITTEN ONE.

HE DIDN'T WRITE A SPEECH.

IT'LL COME.

IT'S NOT POPULAR TO SPEAK OF GOD.

BUT I DO SO NOW AND PUBLICLY

BECAUSE I FEEL BLESSED.

I AM BLESSED.

I LOOK AT THIS CITY THAT WE BUILT THROUGH INDUSTRY,

THROUGH INGENUITY, THROUGH WAR AND SACRIFICE,

AND I FEEL THAT BLESSING.

THIS CITY IS THE DREAM OF A HALF-CENTURY,

AND THIS MORNING...

WE BRING THAT DREAM INTO THE DAY.

WE HAVE BUILT SHILOH.

THERE'S NO SURPRISE.

I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME.

I KNEW THIS LAND, THESE TERRITORIES, ONCE AT WAR--

FACTIONS FRACTURED, WERE MEANT TO BE ONE NATION,

TOGETHER...AT PEACE.

WHEN I FIRST LOOKED OUT AT THE RUINS

THAT WOULD BECOME SHILOH, THERE WAS NOTHING.

ASHES.

AN EMPTY SHELL OF A CITY BOMBED TEN TIMES OVER

BY THREE ARMIES.

BUT I LOOKED...

AND MY EYES OPENED...

AND I SAW UNITY HALL, RIGHT HERE

AS IT STANDS TODAY...

PAY ATTENTION, BOYS.

YOUR FATHER DIED FIGHTING FOR THIS.

DAMN FOOL.

I LOOKED AND I SAW PEOPLE--

FORMER ENEMIES WORKING TOGETHER...

I'LL GET IT.

I SAW HOSPITALS, STREETS, TRAFFIC,

JEWELRY SHOPS, POLICE STATIONS.

RUDE, OLD MEN STEALING YOUR CAB.

TRUCKS SELLING 50 DIFFERENT KINDS OF ICE CREAM.

SOMEONE'S PULLING INTO THE SHOP.

I SAW IT ALL AS IF IT WAS HERE ALREADY.

UNDER ONE FLAG, UNITED.

UNDER ONE KING, STRONG.

MORNING.

YOU JESSIE?

MY MOM.

DIDN'T YOU GET A NAME?

DAVID.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

THE CAR.

IT USED TO WORK, AND THEN IT STOPPED.

WE'VE GOT THE CEREMONY ON INSIDE IF YOU WANNA WATCH IT.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

MY DAD TAUGHT ME.

IS HE AROUND?

HE DIED IN THE WAR.

YOU NEED A NEW HOSE.

WILL THAT TAKE LONG?

A NEW ONE WOULD.

THE DEAD HAS ARISEN.

LOOK AT YOU.

IT WAS JUST A CRACKED HOSE.

TO YOU, MAYBE, BUT TO ME THAT WAS A BROKEN CAR.

YOU HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING ON YOU.

HERE.

I CAN'T CHARGE YOU FOR A PIECE OF TAPE.

IT'S YOUR TIME I OWE YOU FOR.

I'LL MEET YOU HALFWAY.

THIS BROKEN THING HAS BEEN IN MY POCKET

FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

SHOULD'VE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP.

BUT...IF YOU CAN FIX IT,

YOU DESERVE IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

YOU ARE VERY POLITE, DAVID.

IT'S JUST THE WAY I WAS RAISED.

WELL, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU GROW UP.

AND THAT'S WHEN THEY CAME.

I FELT A SHADOW ABOVE ME.

I LOOKED UP AND SAW A GREAT SWARM OF BUTTERFLIES.

AND THEY CIRCLED AROUND ME LIKE LEAVES IN A STORM,

FLOATING, SOFT.

LANDING UPON MY HEAD LIKE A CROWN--A LIVING CROWN.

GOD'S SIGNAL TO BEGIN.

I PRAY... AS I TAKE MY SEAT

IN THIS GREAT NEW CAPITAL, TO BE WORTHY

OF HIS ANOINTMENT AND OF YOUR TRUST.

LIKE THE KING HIMSELF,

WHO ROSE FROM MEAGER BEGINNINGS AS A SOLDIER

TO A MONARCH BELOVED BY HIS KINGDOM,

THE NEW CAPITAL AT SHILOH HAS RISEN UP

FROM THE WRECKAGE OF WAR,

AND BECOME A BEACON OF HOPE FOR OUR PEOPLE.

THERE YOU GO, BOYS.

OUR TAXES WENT INTO REBUILDING THAT WHOLE CITY

FOR TWENTY YEARS.

AT LEAST YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TELL YOUR GRANDKIDS,

"I SAW IT HAPPEN."

EXCEPT FOR DAVID. HE MISSED IT.

WHO WAS IN THE SHOP, ANYWAYS?

REVEREND SAMUELS.

WHO WANTS PANCAKES? I DO. I'M STARVING.

THE ONLY DARK CLOUDS ON THIS DAY

ARE REPORTS OF TENSION IN THE NORTH.

FEARS THAT BORDER DISPUTES WITH GATH COULD ESCALATE.

CERTAINLY KING SILAS,

VETERAN OF THE UNIFICATION WARS HIMSELF,

WILL DO WHAT HE CAN TO PREVENT ANOTHER WAR.

HEY, SHEP.

SHEP!

SERIOUSLY, BRO...

I SWEAR, MAN, YOU MOMS MAKES THE BEST FRIGGIN' BROWNIES, MAN.

WHAT'S IN THESE?

GUILT.

HEY, GIMME A LIGHT.

EASY, KILLER.

I PROMISED MOM I'D TAKE CARE OF YOU--NO SMOKING.

AH, DAMN GOLIATH.

EVERY DAY ANOTHER ROUND

JUST TO REMIND US WE'RE OUTGUNNED.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. IT MUST BE WORKING.

I GOT A POOL GOING ON WHEN YOU THINK THEY'LL BLOW TODAY.

ACTUALLY, IT SHOULD BE ANY SECOND.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. YEAH, I KINDA DO.

IT'S A DIFFERENT TIME EVERY DAY.

IT'S A COMPLETELY RANDOM EVENT.

ANY SECOND.

I SWEAR TO GOD,

IF YOU WEREN'T MY BROTHER I'D THINK YOU'RE A SPY.

HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN?

HAVE ANOTHER BROWNIE.

HEY...

YOU GUYS HEAR?

A SQUAD GOT PINCHED.

AT FOXLAND FOREST.

THEY GOT OUT ALONE SOMEHOW, NO AIR SUPPORT.

BASTARDS AMBUSHED THEM.

THEY DEAD?

NOT ALL. THEY TOOK HOSTAGES.

A PLATOON WAS AMBUSHED. FOXLAND.

12 DEAD, 2 HOSTAGES.

OVER THE BORDER.

THEY GO TOO FAR...

GATH.

THEY'LL FIND I'M WILLING TO MEET THEM AND GO FURTHER.

WE DON'T NEGOTIATE FOR HOSTAGES,

MUCH AS WE WANT TO,

MUCH AS OUR SOLDIERS DESERVE IT.

WAR ASKS THE HEART TO FREEZE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.

SEND FOR THE FAMILIES.

SIR, IT WAS THE 127th.

I'M SORRY, SIR, IT'S--IT'S--

CALL THE AMBASSADOR TO GATH.

GET THEM BACK. GET IT DONE.

YOU CAN'T.

WE DON'T NEGOTIATE FOR HOSTAGES,

AS YOU SAID.

WE CAN'T NOW.

THEN WHAT DO WE DO?

NO ONE GOES AFTER THE HOSTAGES.

WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE LOSSES.

IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS,

ANYONE WITHIN 200 YARDS OF A GOLIATH WAS A LOSS.

THIS COMES FROM THE TOP.

ANYONE ON THE MOVE?

HOW DO YOU WALK QUIET, SHEP?

WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING OUT HERE?

NOTHING.

ANYTHING MOVING OUT THERE?

NO, A TANK ON 5-KO ROLLED TO 50 YARDS OFF THE DITCH.

I THOUGHT I SAW A SHELTER GO UP.

DUDE...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I CAN'T RUN IN THESE.

YOU THINK IT'S THEM? THE HOSTAGES?

I DON'T KNOW. I JUST HAVE A FEELING.

THEY COULD BE HIDING 'EM BEHIND THE TANKS,

BUT...

THEY'LL COURT-MARSHAL YOU FOR THIS.

IF YOU LIVE THAT LONG. DON'T WORRY.

I'M CALLING YOUR BROTHER, MAN.

DON'T.

HE'LL JUST TRY AND STOP ME.

GIVE ME A WRENCH.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, CHANGE THEIR OIL?

SLOWLY.

OKAY, OKAY. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

OKAY, COME ON. COME ON.

STAY WITH ME. STAY WITH ME. OW!

COME ON, COME ON. GET UP.

COME ON.

I'LL COVER.

CAN YOU GET HIM TO LOOKOUT?

I THINK SO.

HE'S GETTING UP.

YOU SEEING THIS?

YOU DUMB SON OF A--

IF YOU'D HAVE DIED, I'D--

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S YOUR COURT-MARTIAL.

SHEPHERD!

YOU WERE GIVEN AN ORDER.

HOW IS HE?

A CUT TO THE HEAD AND A SCAR TO REMEMBER IT BY,

BUT HE'LL BE FINE, SIR.

THAT'S JACK BENJAMIN.

YOU SAVED THE KING'S SON.

ICE TRUCKS.

IT MEANS FISH TONIGHT.

PROBABLY KING SALMON, GIVEN THE SEASON.

NO, IT DOESN'T MEAN FISH.

THEN WHAT?

LAMB.

IT'S A HERO'S WELCOME. HEROES GET RED MEAT.

I'D DO WITH A NICE PISTACHIO CRUST, IF ASKED.

NO CHANCE. QUEEN ROSE HATES LAMB.

EVER SINCE SHE SPENT HER SUMMERS

ON HER UNCLE'S SHEEP FARM.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. DO THEY?

DO THEY KNOW WHAT COLOR PANTIES SHE PICKS FOR THURSDAYS TOO?

'DAY, SIRS. NAMES?

UH, DAVID SHEPHERD.

HERE TO SEE, UH-- OH...

HERE TO SEE EVERYONE, SIR.

THAT'S IN THE PAPER?

NO, THAT'S IN ALL THE PAPERS, SIR.

UH, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SETTLE A BET FOR US, SIR,

ON WHAT'S BEING SERVED FOR YOU TONIGHT.

TONIGHT?

YOU KNOW, AT YOUR BANQUET.

THE MENU, MA'AM.

AH, THE MENU.

"SQUAB, HERB POLENTA,

ARRABIATA FOR THE VEGETARIANS."

GOOD, GOOD. IT'S PERFECT.

BUT UH, TAKE OFF THE LAMB.

YES, MA'AM.

WHAT ABOUT OUR GUEST OF HONOR?

WHO'S MAKING SURE HE'S PRESENTABLE?

WE HAVE JACK ON THAT, MA'AM.

PUT SOMEONE ON JACK.

YES, MA'AM.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAME OUT TONIGHT.

I MEAN, YOU ALMOST DIED OUT THERE.

I DIDN'T.

THAT CALLS FOR MORE LIVING.

THOMASINA.

OH, MY LOVE.

DON'T BE JEALOUS.

COME, WE'RE MEETING SHEPHERD.

HE'S COMING TO COURT.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOMORROW.

IT I TOMORROW.

OH.

OKAY.

THAT USED TO HANG UP IN MY ROOM.

IT KEPT ME UP AT NIGHT.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE. WE CAN SKIP ALL THAT.

BESIDES, YOU'RE THE DARLING TODAY.

SORRY, SIR? I KNOW.

I GET TAKEN HOSTAGE AND ALMOST GET KILLED,

AND THEY'RE THROWING YOU A PARTY.

MYSTERIES OF THE PALACE.

I WISH THEY WOULDN'T.

I'M NOT EVEN REALLY SURE WHY I'M HERE.

TECHNICALLY SO I COULD GIVE YOU A TOUR...

AN HOUR AGO.

SORRY.

YOU'RE HERE TO GET SHOWN OFF.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A PRETTY PICTURE WITH MY FATHER,

AND THEN GET SENT BACK TO WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM.

THANKS FOR SERVING YOUR COUNTRY.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE WEARING TONIGHT?

I'LL HAVE SOMETHING OF MINE SENT OVER.

I THINK YOU'RE TALLER THAN ME.

I'LL SEND THE TAILOR WITH IT.

THERE'S A TAILOR HERE?

MY FATHER LIKES SUITS.

GATH.

NOW'S THE TIME TO MAKE A PUSH FORWARD.

TAKE THE VALLEY. YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR THREE YEARS.

LAST PRESENTED? PERRY.

UH, SORRY. JUNE 10th, THIS YEAR.

UNAPPROVED BY YOU, SIR.

"WE DON'T ATTACK, WE RESPOND.

INSTIGATION IS GATH'S GAME."

WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE WINNING.

THIS WAR HAS BEEN A CANCER ON OUR ECONOMY.

IF YOUR VALLEY CAN GET US OUT,

I SUPPORT IT.

WE CAN'T EXTEND THE BORDER NOW FOR THE SAME REASON

WE COULDN'T IN JUNE.

WERE OUTGUNNED AND LACK PUBLIC SUPPORT.

POLLING SHOWS PUBLIC OPINION

IN FAVOR OF AGGRESSIVE MEASURE

SINCE THE KIDNAPPING.

NEGATIVES.

COULD DRAW AN OFFENSIVE.

WORLD PRESS WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY.

REVEREND WON'T LIKE IT.

REVEREND DOESN'T LIKE ANYTHING.

STILL THINKS I OWE HIM BECAUSE HE SWORE ME IN.

THEY'VE BLASTED US FROM THOSE HILLS FOR YEARS.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO MAKE THEM STOP.

THEY'RE DEMORALIZED

AND OUR TROOPS ARE CHOMPING AT THE BIT.

THEY ALL WANT TO TAKE OUT A TANK NOW.

GOOD.

LET THEM.

LET THEM.

PUSH BACK ENOUGH TO LET GATH KNOW

WE'RE DONE TAKING PUNCHES.

IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING.

PLEASE SAY THAT CLEARS THE AGENDA.

THERE ARE PETITIONS, SIR. WE HAVE FOUR.

COURT CALLS MISS MICHELLE BENJAMIN,

PETITION ON HEALTH CARE.

I THINK WE'LL ONLY HAVE TIME FOR ONE.

SIR, YOU'VE HEARD PROPOSALS

TO ADVANCE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE BEFORE I KNOW--

MOST FROM YOU.

NOAH TANNER.

SIX YEARS OLD AND NEEDS A NEW HEART.

GIVEN THE CURRENT OPTIONS,

PATIENTS LIKE NOAH ARE LEFT TO TREATMENTS

OLDER THAN HIS PARENTS.

HE NEEDS A NEW HEART

AS BADLY AS WE NEED REFORM.

I'VE OUTLINED A PLAN--

I RECALL MY OWN DAUGHTER

TREATED FOR CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES VERY WELL

BY THE EXACT LEVEL OF CARE OFFERED

TO EACH OF OUR CITIZENS BUT DEEMED LACKING BY YOU.

YOUR DAUGHTER HAD ADVANTAGES MANY DON'T.

SHE HAD PARENTS

OF PRIVILEGE TO WATCH OVER HER DAY AND NIGHT.

AS THEY DO NOW

WHEN THEY TELL HER TO MOVE ON FROM AN OBVIOUS IMPASSE.

SORRY, PUPPY.

THIS PUSH ON GATH.

MAKE IT LOUD.

TIME TO END THIS DAMN WAR.

WRITE DOWN

"HE GOVERNED PATIENTLY...

"AND WELL,

THEN RAN HOME FOR A SHOWER."

I SPEND MORE TIME ON CUFFLINKS

THEN I DO ON TAX REFORMS.

WHY AREN'T YOU READY?

MY DARN CELL PHONE.

I HAD IT WITH ME ON MY TRIP YESTERDAY AND I--

I LAST SAW IT WITH MY SOCKS.

YOUR DAUGHTER IS LIVID, BY THE WAY.

SHE SPENT MONTHS ON THAT TAX THING.

HEALTH CARE.

WHY WITH YOUR SOCKS?

SO IT WOULDN'T GET BANGED UP.

IT'S MY FAULT.

I SHOULD'VE NEVER TRUSTED ANYTHING THAT IMPORTANT

WITH THAT NEW SECRETARY.

WHY IS IT THAT PRETTY PEOPLE

ARE ALWAYS SO BAD WITH DETAILS?

KING OF ALL I SURVEY,

AND I STILL CAN'T FIND AN OFFICE CHAIR

THAT DOESN'T GET MY BACK SPASMS.

YOU'RE AN OLD SOLDIER.

DON'T COMPLAIN.

YOUR PILLS ARE ON THE COUNTER.

I DON'T LIKE PILLS. I'D RATHER HAVE WINE.

WINE MAKES YOUR EYES DROOP

AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK NICE FOR THE PICTURES.

IS THIS REALLY YOUR FIRST TIME IN THE CAPITAL?

I MISSED THE EIGHTH GRADE CLASS TRIP.

MONO.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY HERE TONIGHT?

IS YOUR DAD PROUD OF YOU?

UH, MY DAD DIED FIGHTING IN THE UNIFICATION WAR.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOTHER? IS SHE HERE?

MY MOTHER NEVER REALLY APPROVED

OF ME JOINING THE ARMY.

WHY IS THAT?

UH, YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD ABOUT MY FATHER.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

SHALL WE?

START ON THE LEFT AND WORK OUR WAY OVER.

NOW BACK AGAIN.

YOU HANDLE THE HOUNDS WELL, PRIVATE.

I HAVE SIX OLDER BROTHERS.

HAVE FUN.

I'D LIKE A LARGE GLASS OF SOMETHING REALLY EXPENSIVE.

A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE.

THANK YOU.

WE CELEBRATE BRAVERY TONIGHT.

TONIGHT, I'M AS SURE OF OUR CAUSE AS I WAS

THE DAY WE FOUNDED OUR GREAT NATION.

AND IF THAT IDEA WAS OVER--

REVEREND SAMUELS, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HAVE YOU--

LET ME GET A DRINK IN BEFORE

YOU START ASKING ME FOR THINGS, WOULD YOU, MARCUS?

WE HAD LITTLE MORE THAN HOPE

AND A BAD IDEA.

TWO KEY INGREDIENTS FOR GLOBAL CHANGE.

AND THAT'S WHEN THEY CAME.

LIKE A--

A SHADOW OVERHEAD.

I LOOKED UP AND...

SAW A GREAT SWARM OF BUTTERFLIES

CIRCLING ABOVE MY HEAD LIKE LEAVES

IN A STORM.

SOFT AND LANDING LIKE...

A CROWN, A LIVING CROWN ON MY HEAD.

GOD'S SIGNAL TO BEGIN.

STILL WITH THE BUTTERFLIES.

DOESN'T HE EVER GET TIRED OF THAT ONE?

HE'LL TELL IT AS LONG AS THEY WANT TO HEAR IT.

AND SO WILL YOU SOMEDAY.

IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE HERO,

IT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR AN OLD PREACHER.

SIR.

THE LORD'S WORLD IS GREAT.

VERY, VERY SMALL.

THE HERO WHO CAN FIX ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW IF I COUNT AS A HERO.

WHAT IS THIS?

A MAN HIDING AT THE BAR

IS A MAN WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE AT THE PARTY.

I GUESS I'M JUST MORE USED TO THE FRONT.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND YOU.

YOU--COME ON.

I HAD A BANQUET IN YOUR NAME.

YOU'RE DRINKING A SINGLE MALT

THE LIKES OF WHICH GOD HIMSELF

ONLY TAKES OUT OF THE CABINET BUT ONCE A YEAR.

YOU HAVE YOUR CHOICE OF LADIES

ALL VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR ATTENTION.

YOU LIKE THE ONE IN RED?

NOW YOUR NIGHTS WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THIS EASY.

SO...

ENJOY.

JUST WATCH OUT FOR THE CAMERAS.

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING THAT.

THAT PIANO WAS A GIFT TO MY FATHER

FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTERIA.

THIS PIANO'S A BROADWOOD GRAND.

1848.

THE SAME YEAR LISZT WROTE THIS.

CLOSEST I'VE EVER COME

TO ONE IS A PICTURE ON THE INTERNET.

YOU CAN CALL SECURITY BUT I'M FINISHING FIRST.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE A MECHANIC.

WOULDN'T HAVE PEGGED YOU FOR A MUSICIAN.

I WOULDN'T HAVE PEGGED YOU FOR A SNITCH.

WELL THEY'RE ALL LOOKING FOR YOU.

SIR, THIS IS MR. AND MRS. ACHAREN.

OH.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU KNOW HIM.

THE KID.

I'M NOT SURE IF I KNOW ANYBODY ANYMORE.

SPEAK IN RIDDLES, REVEREND,

YOU'RE LIABLE TO NEVER GET YOUR POINT ACROSS.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO PRETEND

THAT I DON'T KNOW.

ABOUT GATH?

I SPOKE MY PIECE CLEARLY.

THE OFFENSIVE COULD PUT AN END TO THIS WAR.

IF YOU'RE AGAINST IT,

TELL IT TO YOUR FLOCK.

I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION TO DEFEND MY COUNTRY.

SIT.

IT'S TIME WE SPOKE PLAINLY, YOU AND I.

YES, SIR.

PLAINLY DOESN'T COME WITH SIRS.

QUIT IT.

I OWE YOU A LOT.

MORE THAN I CAN SAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN, DO YOU?

I'M AN UNCLE.

THEN YOU DON'T KNOW.

YOU SAVED MY SON'S LIFE.

THAT MEANS I OWE YOU MINE.

JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND IT'S YOURS.

THEY ALREADY OFFERED ME A REWARD

THAT'S WAY MORE THAN I CAN SPEND.

YOU'RE A YOUNG MAN. SMART.

YOU MUST HAVE SOME GOALS.

I'M A MAN WITH POSITION OFFERING YOU A THANK YOU.

EVEN IF YOU ASK FOR HALF MY KINGDOM,

AS THE SAYING GOES.

WELL SPEAK UP,

OR YOU'RE LIABLE TO GET A CAR

YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE INSURANCE ON.

AH.

HALF MY KINGDOM IT IS.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DANCE, DO YOU?

NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

YOU KNOW, THIS REALLY SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA

A MINUTE AGO.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCHING YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW THAT.

NOW, YES.

VERY, VERY CLEAR.

FOLLOW MY LEAD.

UM, I'M SORRY ABOUT BEFORE.

I TOOK MY BAD DAY OUT ON YOU.

PRINCESSING IS HARD WORK, HUH?

HEALTH REFORM, ACTUALLY.

A SHOWED THEM A WAY TO HELP PEOPLE

AND GOT TOLD IT WAS INCONVENIENT.

I'M TRYING TO GET A SIX-YEAR-OLD A NEW HEART.

WHAT?

HAPPINESS SUITS HER, ABNER.

WHO KNEW?

HIM.

YES, SIR?

I'LL NOT FORGET WHAT HE SAID AND WHEN HE SAID IT.

YES, SIR.

DON'T MAKE A SHOW OF IT.

AND THE WIFE?

NO, NO NEED.

HE'LL BE TROUBLE. YOU WATCH.

I KNOW THE TYPE.

THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH HIM IS A BULLET.

PLEASE, HE'S AN INFANT.

HE'S GOT EVERYONE EATING OUT OF HIS HAND.

CAMERAS ARE WEARING THEMSELVES OUT.

NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT THE WAR.

THIS COURT NEEDS A NEW FACE TO LOOK UP TO.

NO.

WE CAN USE HIM.

SOMETHING'S HERE FOR US.

GOOD KID, THAT DAVID.

PERFECT TIMING.

MEDIUM SCRAMBLED ON WHOLE WHEAT TOAST,

NO BUTTER ON PAIN OF DEATH.

A RARE FULL HOUSE. EAT.

NO SIGN OF IT, MA'AM.

THEY CHECKED THE CARS?

AND THE LUGGAGE.

THE SERVICE IS ASKING FOR AN ACCOUNT

OF THE INFORMATION ON THERE.

THE QUEEN'S CELL PHONE.

IT'S GOT THE EMAIL, BIRTHDAYS,

AND BAD SPELLING OF EVERY PERSON

COMPRISING SOCIETY IN THIS COUNTRY.

I THINK THEY'RE MORE CONCERNED WITH NATIONAL SECURITY.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE GETTING INVOLVED WITH POLITICS.

SO COME, LET'S KEEP LOOKING

BEFORE THEY CALL IN THE NATIONAL GUARD.

IT'S GOTTA BE SOMEWHERE.

DID MOM LOSE HER MIND

AND FIND THOMASINA TO FIX EVERYTHING,

OR WAS IT THE OTHER WAY?

SORT OF A CHICKEN/EGG QUESTION.

THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?

I WAS TOLD TO COME?

CHICKEN, EGG?

ARE WE STILL USING THAT EXPRESSION?

GIVEN THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE

IN FAVOR OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORY,

I NEED TO MAKE A ROYAL OFFICIAL DECLARATION.

THE ANSWER IS ROUNDLY AN EGG.

NOT NEGATING GOD IN WHOM

I TRUST MORE THAN THAT DAMNED REVEREND'LL EVER KNOW.

JUST RECOGNIZING THE CHANGE OCCURS,

THANK SAID GOD,

AND THAT THE EGG WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN

THE NATURAL IMPROVEMENT

ON WHATEVER NEAR-CHICKEN MOTHER HATCHED IT

AND DISCOVERED THAT HER YOUNG

WAS DELIGHTFULLY DIFFERENT FROM HERSELF.

EVOLUTION IS JUST ONE OF GOD'S MANY TOOLS,

LIKE ME.

THE ONLY REAL AND LINGERING QUESTION BEING...

HOW'D YOU LIKE THEM FIRST-COME EGGS?

IS THERE, UH, SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE ME TO DO?

HE'D LIKE YOU TO SIT AND EAT.

MY FATHER INSISTS ON MAKING BREAKFAST.

IT MAKES HIM FEEL LIKE HIS KIDS ARE STILL FIVE.

WHEN YOU WERE SMALL...

AND MANAGEABLE,

AND I PREFERRED IT THAT WAY.

I CAN'T, UH, STAY LONG.

I HAVE TO REPORT BACK TO BASE THIS MORNING.

UH, NO, YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK TO THE FRONT.

YOU'VE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO SHILOH.

MILITARY LIAISON TO THE PRESS OFFICE.

THE PRESS LIKES YOU.

CAPTAIN SHEPHERD.

CAPTAIN.

YOU'RE AN OFFICER NOW.

HELL OF A TIME TO LOSE YOUR POWERS OF SPEECH.

YOU'RE GOING ON AIR IN AN HOUR.

THERE A PROBLEM?

I'M NOT SURE I CAN ANSWER THAT

WITHOUT INSULTING MY KING.

YOUR KING HEARS INSULTS WITH ALARMING

REGULARITY.

I JUST DON'T THINK I'M CUT OUT FOR THE CITY, SIR.

WALTER, NEXT TIME YOU HEAR CAPTAIN SHEPHERD

CALL ME "SIR,"

I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR SIDEARM AND SHOOT HIM.

WHAT--

WH-WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST OUR CITY?

WELL I'D PROBABLY HAVE AN APARTMENT

THE SIZE OF MY DOG'S SHED AT HOME.

AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE WAR HERE.

MY COMPANY'S FIGHTING JUST A FEW HOURS FROM HERE

AND IT'S AS IF NOTHING'S HAPPENING EXCEPT ON TV.

PLUS THE CITY SORT OF SMELLS LIKE TRASH.

I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.

BUT YOU...

COULD DO GOOD HERE.

HOPE LIES IN BRAVERY.

AND WE NEED HOPE.

GIVE US A SHOT.

YES, SIR.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE BEEN IN THIS MANY CARS

IN THREE DAYS.

I COULD'VE SWORN THAT I GAVE IT TO YOU.

I'M SO SORRY, MA'AM.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT.

A CELL PHONE FULL OF STATE SECRETS

AND PRIVATE LINES.

LET'S HOPE NOT FAR.

I'LL GO TEAR UP MY BEDROOM AGAIN.

NO LUCK?

IT'S YOUR FAULT.

OOH, I BLAME THE GRIEF.

YOU REALLY HAD ME WORRIED, JACK.

YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D NEVER DIE.

WELL I KEPT MY PROMISE. SEE?

LOOK, HOW LONG ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO SUFFER THAT ONE?

OH, HE'S HARMLESS.

HE'S A COCKER SPANIEL.

THAT COCKER SPANIEL JUST GOT THE BEST POST IN THE MILITARY.

HELL,

I WAS THE ONE TAKEN HOSTAGE.

THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MY JOB.

INSTEAD I'M BEING BROUGHT IN FOR QUESTIONING.

MORE DISCIPLINE?

YOU DON'T DO YOURSELF ANY FAVORS WITH YOUR NIGHTLIFE.

THEY'RE SAYING THINGS ABOUT THE KIDNAPPING.

THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THE SQUAD WAS AMBUSHED.

THAT I WAS IMPULSIVE

AND WENT IN WITHOUT A SUPPORT TEAM.

DID YOU?

OF COURSE NOT.

I CALLED FOR OVERWATCH AS SOON AS I GOT THE ORDER.

THOSE WOODS WERE CRAWLING.

WE HAD SUPPORT.

AT LEAST WHEN WE WENT IN.

AND THEN...

THE SHOOTING STARTED.

AND WE WERE ALONE.

I LOST MEN.

WE HAD SUPPORT.

PLEASE. TALK TO HIM.

THEY COULD BRING ME UP ON CHARGES.

YES.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO GET INVOLVED WITH POLITICS.

BUT...

IF I WERE TO SUGGEST SOMETHING,

I'D SAY LET THEM.

LET THEM COURT MARTIAL ME?

WHY NOT?

TRUTH OUTED SLOWLY IS REMEMBERED LONGEST.

SO SIT THROUGH THEIR MEETINGS.

THEY'LL SEE WHAT'S WHAT SOON ENOUGH

AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO COVER YOU

WITH SO MANY MEDALS AND APOLOGIES.

YOU'LL BE STUFFED FROM ALL THE BANQUETS

IN YOUR HIGH HONOR.

BE PATIENT, JACK.

IT'LL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH.

PROBABLY ALONG WITH MY DAMN CELL PHONE.

AND SADLY HE SUFFERED A CORONARY

WHILE JOGGING NEAR HIS HOME.

MINISTER OF ENERGY FAULKS WAS A 15-YEAR SERVANT

OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND A PATRIOT.

KING SILAS WILL BE VISITING WITH HIS FAMILY

AFTER THE FUNERAL.

LISTEN, MOM,

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA MAKE IT

BACK HOME THIS WEEKEND LIKE I THOUGHT.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD SOME LEAVE COMING.

DID YOU GET IN TROUBLE?

SORT OF.

TURN ON THE TV.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEWS FROM THE FRONT.

NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

YOU KNOW WE CAN'T TELL YOU TOO MUCH.

BUT HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT WE CAN,

WE HAVE OUR NEW MILITARY LIAISON.

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW OF HIM ALREADY.

LET ME INTRODUCE CAPTAIN DAVID SHEPHERD.

WH--

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

MOM, I GOTTA GO.

DAVID-- I GOTTA GO.

THEY MADE HIM A MONKEY!

HEY, SHEPHERD. WHAT?

THERE'S A PACKAGE HERE FOR YOU.

LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!

IS ANYONE ELSE REALLY SICK OF THAT PICTURE?

CAN WE, UH, TURN THAT OFF?

THANKS.

COOL.

DOES THIS MEAN NO MORE ACTION FOR YOU?

YOU'LL BE STAYING HERE IN SHILOH?

UH, LOOK,

I ONLY HAD, LIKE, TEN MINUTES OF BRIEFING THIS MORNING,

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THEY JUST WANT ME TO READ

WHAT'S ON THE PROMPTER, SO...

HOW ABOUT I JUST SAY YES

AND WE GET STRAIGHT TO IT, OKAY?

AN OFFENSIVE WAS ISSUED TWO HOURS AGO BY KING SILAS.

AT PRESENT, WE HAVE TROOPS ADVANCING

ACROSS THE NEUTRAL ZONE INTO GATH TERRITORY.

WE HAVE REPORTS THAT GATH

HAS RETREATED ITS ARMOR UNITS.

IS THIS IN RESPONSE TO THE KIDNAPPINGS?

I THINK IT'S IN RESPONSE

TO EVERYONE WANTING THIS DAMN WAR OVER ALREADY.

THIS IS EMBARRASSING.

WE COULD PULL HIM.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

HE'S PERFECT. WATCH.

WHAT ABOUT JACK BENJAMIN'S INVOLVEMENT

WITH THE AMBUSH OF THE 127TH?

AS FAR AS I KNOW,

CAPTAIN BENJAMIN'S INVOLVEMENT WAS AS A VICTIM.

IS IT TRUE THERE'S AN EARLY INQUIRY INTO HIS NEGLIGENCE?

I HAVE NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION ON THAT.

BUT FROM PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE I CAN STATE

THAT THAT'S A LOAD OF BULL

PUT OUT BY PEOPLE TRYING TO CASH IN ON TRAGEDY.

MEN DIED IN THAT AMBUSH.

TRY AND SHOW SOME RESPECT.

NEXT QUESTION.

OKAY, THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME AROUND SOLDIERS.

ANY LAST COMMENTS? NO?

UH, ACTUALLY, UH, YEAH.

ONE LAST THING.

I HAVE A REPORT THAT THERE'S PROGRESS

ON A PROMISING NEW HEALTH CARE PETITION.

TO EXPAND, UH...

YOU KNOW, UM, COVERAGE.

WHICH I GUESS WILL, UM,

I GUESS WILL BENEFIT...

EVERYONE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.

FLYING COLORS.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA VOMIT THE WHOLE TIME.

LUCKY YOU DIDN'T.

COME, SIR. THERE'S A CALL FOR YOU.

YOU GOT MY PACKAGE?

YOU SERIOUSLY SPEND YOUR WHOLE REWARD

ON BEER AND VIDEO GAMES?

YOU'RE SICK!

YOU HAVE A SICKNESS!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

HOW YOU HOLDING UP, CAPTAIN?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT EVER SINCE I GOT HERE.

WHY? WHAT?

I'LL SWITCH WITH YOU, MAN. YOU'RE IN THE CAPITAL.

YOU'RE DANCING WITH THE PRINCESS.

NOBODY'S SHOOTING AT YOU.

YEAH, I JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD BE OUT THERE

WITH YOU GUYS.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OH.

THAT'S SWEET.

NO, KID, YOU NEED TO BE SCOOPING THIS UP

WITH BOTH HANDS, OKAY?

YOU'RE LIVING THE GOOD LIFE.

YOU DESERVE IT.

WHAT'S GOING ON, ELI?

AIR RAID!

ELI!

ELI!

WE'RE LOOKING AT PREPARATION

FOR FULL-SCALE INVASION.

WE HAVE TO ATTACK FIRST.

THEY'RE COMING FOR US.

THEY HAVEN'T FIRED. IT COULD BE A RETREAT.

WE WERE TOLD TO EXPECT AN OFFICIAL MESSAGE

FROM THEM ANY MINUTE.

RECALLING ALL YOUR PLANS FROM OUR AIRSPACE

IS A MESSAGE.

"WE'RE GOING TO PUSH YOU INTO THE SEA."

YOUR BROTHER'S FINE.

YOU'LL CALL HIM LATER.

MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER OF GATH, SIR.

SON OF A BITCH.

IT'S A PEACE TREATY.

THEY'RE OFFERING US A TRUCE.

I, UM, OWE YOU A THANK YOU

FOR THE FREE PUBLICITY.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D DROP OFF A NOTE.

SO YOU HOPED I WOULDN'T BE HOME.

YOU KNOW, THIS TREATY IS HALF YOUR DOING.

YOU REALLY SHOULD BE OUT CELEBRATING.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN--

WELL, TURN ON YOUR TV.

OH, YOU DON'T HAVE A TV.

WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK ALL THAT NOISE IS OUTSIDE?

I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CITY.

UH, ALL RIGHT.

COME ON. COME ON, YOU'RE GOING.

HERE.

WOW.

BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?

DO YOU REMEMBER THE INAUGURATION OF SHILOH?

WHEN WE MOVED TO THE CAPITAL, THE CELEBRATION?

OF COURSE.

I WATCHED IT WITH MY FAMILY.

WELL...

WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO IT ALL DRIVING,

AND MY DAD SEES THIS TRUCK.

AND HE STOPS THE ENTIRE CAVALCADE.

HE JUST CAN'T GET OVER IT.

THIS ICE CREAM TRUCK HERE

WHERE THERE WAS NOTHING BEFORE SOMEONE DREAMT IT.

JUST ASHES, RUINS.

HE HUGGED ME TO HIDE THAT HE WAS CRYING.

NOBODY ELSE SAW, BUT...

IT'S LIKE IT WASN'T REAL TO HIM UNTIL THAT MOMENT.

IT WAS FREEZING OUT

AND HE BOUGHT US ALL ROCKET POPS.

THAT WAS WHEN I REALIZED THAT

THE HUMAN WILL CAN TAKE ASHES

AND TURN IT INTO ICE CREAM.

THIS CITY IS ABOUT PROGRESS.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR

THIS ENTIRE TIME.

DANCING IN THE STREETS

AND YOU'RE HERE DRAINING MY WINE CELLAR.

ISN'T IT GREAT?

PEACE IN OUR LIFETIMES.

ALL THANKS TO THE COCKER SPANIEL.

GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US.

ESPECIALLY FOR ME.

YOU TRANSFERRED ME.

MOVED ME TO AN INTELLIGENCE DESK IN THE CAPITAL.

PROMOTION TO MAJOR.

THEN YOU HEARD. CONGRATULATIONS, JACK.

THAT YOU TOOK ME OFF ACTIVE DUTY.

THAT IS A DEMOTION.

AND ADMISSION OF GUILT COUCHES AN HONOR.

"THAT JACK COULDN'T REALLY HANDLE THE WAR.

"NEARLY GOT HIMSELF KILLED.

LET'S MOVE HIM TO A DESK WHERE IT'S SAFE."

ALL WHILE YOU PROP HIM UP ON A STAGE.

COME THEN.

THERE'S ENOUGH FAIR HAIR TO GO AROUND.

YOU REALLY MEAN TO DO THIS NOW?

IF I'M GONNA BE KING

AND TELLING THE BUTTERFLY STORY,

I NEED TO BE A WAR HERO IN COMMAND OF MY COMPANY.

I CAN'T DO THAT FROM THE SIDELINES.

YOU BELIEVE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING?

THAT AMBUSH WASN'T MY FAULT.

I KNOW THAT. THEN WHAT?

I FOUGHT FOR YOU. COMMANDED.

I HAVE THE RESPECT OF EVERYONE IN OUR ARMY

EXCEPT THE ONE WHO OWES IT TO ME MOST.

IS IT MY REPUTATION?

"THE PARTY PRINCE?" IS THAT IT?

NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

THAT--IT'S NOT WHO I AM.

OH, IF ONLY IT WAS.

WHAT WOULD I GIVE FOR A PLAYBOY

WHO COULDN'T KEEP IT IN HIS PANTS,

WHO RUNS THROUGH WOMEN?

BUT WHAT I HAVE...

IS A SON WHO SHOWS NO INTEREST IN THEM.

OH, YOU THOUGHT I DIDN'T KNOW?

I'VE BEEN KEEPING PICTURES

OF OUR FAMILY OUT OF THE FREE PRESS FOR YEARS.

WHAT YOU DO AT NIGHT WITH YOUR BOYS

AFTER YOUR SHOW OF SKIRT CHASING

IS A DISGRACE.

IF YOU WERE MY SECOND SON, I WOULDN'T CARE.

BUT FOR A KING, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

NOT POSSIBLE.

WE GIVE UP WHAT WE WANT WHEN WE WANT POWER.

BELIEVE ME.

NOW YOU WANT TO SHOW ME

YOU HAVE THE HEART TO BE KING?

SHOW ME YOU CAN CONTROL IT.

WRESTLE IT TO THE GROUND. NUMB IT WITH ICE.

BUT YOU CANNOT BE WHAT GOD MADE YOU,

NOT IF YOU MEAN TO TAKE MY PLACE.

CELEBRATE, JACK.

IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT..

READ IT BACK.

"AND IT HAPPENED

"THAT SILAS KING FORGED AN ACCORD OF PEACE WITH GATH.

"THE DANCING IN THE STREETS

"COULD BE FELT EVEN UP UNTO THE KING'S CHAMBERS,

SHAKING HIS PEN AS HE SIGNED HIS NAME."

NICE TURN, PERRY.

WE MADE LEGEND TODAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

AH, WILLIAM,

WHO COMES TO THE KING UNCALLED.

WHY AREN'T YOU OUT ON A PARADE FLOAT SOMEWHERE?

NO SIGN OF IT LETTING UP EITHER.

EVEN MICHELLE IS OUT HAVING FUN FOR ONCE.

WAS A GOOD GAMBLE.

WE SCARED THEM INTO PEACE.

WE CAN BUILD AGAIN.

I WAS THINKING THIS TRUCE

MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST THING FOR THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.

I JUST SIGNED THE TREATY.

WHICH MAKES A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO INVADE.

THEY'D NEVER SEE IT COMING.

WE ONLY ATTACKED TO SCARE THEM INTO PEACE.

EVERYTHING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS WRAPPED IN PEACE.

YOU HEARD THE PARADES.

THE PEOPLE WANT PEACE.

THEY CAN HAVE IT, SAY...

IN A YEAR.

THEN YOU COULD END THE WAR.

CROSSGEN HAS TOO MUCH INVESTED

IN THE MILITARY RIGHT NOW.

THIS WAR NEEDS TO CONTINUE.

NO, THIS ISN'T SOME GOVERNMENT CONTRACT.

BUILDING A BRIDGE

OR A PIPELINE OR A HELMET.

PEOPLE WILL DIE.

YOU CAN SEE THAT BUILDING.

OF COURSE YOU CAN.

I MADE SURE THIS ROOM FACED IT.

YOU MAY HAVE BUILT THIS COUNTRY,

BUT I PAID FOR IT.

I HANDED YOU YOUR CROWN.

OH, I REPAID THAT DEBT MANY TIMES.

DON'T FORGET ALL YOU SACRIFICED

TO GET WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.

GAVE UP THAT WHORE YOU LOVED.

MADE ME YOUR BROTHER

ALL SO YOU COULD HAVE MY MONEY AT YOUR BACK.

YOU KNEW THE COST.

AND IF I REFUSE?

ONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES

TO PULL OUR GOLD FROM THE TREASURY.

EVERYTHING YOU BUILT WILL COLLAPSE.

BY LUNCH, THOSE PARADES WILL BE RIOTS.

YOUR BANKS WILL BE ON FIRE.

YOU'LL HAVE MORE DEATH ON YOUR HEAD

THAN WOULD COME FROM ANY WAR.

ONE MORE YEAR, SILAS.

THEN SIGN WHATEVER YOU WANT.

FIND A WAY.

AND HOW DO I LIVE WITH MYSELF?

THE SAME AS YOU ALWAYS HAVE.

THOMASINA,

YOU NEVER SLEEP EITHER.

THE FAMILY NEEDS 24-HOUR CARE.

YOU ALL RIGHT, SIR?

QUARTERLY REPORTS ARE THE DEATH OF INNOVATION.

YOU READY ME A CAR?

I WOKE YOU.

I WAS UP.

LONG NIGHT?

SIT. I MADE SOUP.

WHAT KIND?

THE KIND YOU LIKE.

AH.

YOUR BACK'S BOTHERING YOU AGAIN?

I'LL GET YOUR PILLOW.

WHY DO I EVER LEAVE?

I'M HAPPY WHEN I'M HERE.

SAD WHEN I'M GONE.

SADNESS CAN BE USEFUL TOO.

MAMA.

EASY, PUPPY.

DADDY'S HERE.

TCHK-TCHK-TCHK.

EASY.

WE'RE GETTING HAMMERED OUT HERE!

WHERE'S OUR AIR SUPPORT?

AH!

WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE EXTREME MEASURES

TO COMPENSATE.

TAKE THEM HEAD-ON, HIT THE CAPITAL.

WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR HEAVY LOSSES.

PRESS CONFERENCE IN TWO HOURS.

AT THE FRONT, YOU'LL ANNOUNCE THIS.

ABNER, I'LL NEED THE REVEREND

TO GIVE THE BENEDICTION AFTER.

"RE-ENGAGED?"

WE'RE INVADING? BUT WE HAD PEACE.

YOU DON'T WANT THIS.

IF YOU INVADE, THERE'LL BE NO END.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY YOU CAN RESCUE THIS.

ONE TANK AND HE THINKS HE CAN FASHION HISTORY.

THERE'S A LOT OF GENERALS THERE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY.

THEY CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO MOVE PEOPLE.

YOU CAN DO THAT. TALK TO GATH FACE-TO-FACE.

CALL OUT TO THE PREMIER DIRECTLY.

YOU HAVE TO TRY.

DO NOT PRESUME TO TELL US WHAT TO DO.

WE ARE KING AND WE DO

AS SEEMS RIGHT IN MINE EYE.

SAY OTHERWISE AGAIN

AND WE WILL SNAP YOUR NECK RIGHT NOW.

AND NEXT TIME YOU TOUCH MY DAUGHTER,

DON'T DO IT ON CAMERA.

THERE'D HAVE BEEN A MUCH DIFFERENT PICTURE

IN THE PAPER THIS MORNING

IF IT DIDN'T COME TO ME FIRST,

CAPTAIN SHEPHERD.

YOU AND I,

WE'VE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES.

BUT ON THE PEOPLE WE AGREE.

THEY'RE GONNA NEED YOU.

I WANT YOU TO GET ON THE AIR.

LEAD THEM IN A NATIONAL PRAYER.

DECLARE A FAST.

BAND THEM TOGETHER LIKE THE OLD DAYS.

NO.

I WON'T DO THAT.

YOU'RE REFUSING YOUR KING?

YOU ARE NOT MY KING.

NOT ANYMORE. NOT AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

OR DO YOU STILL WANT TO PRETEND THAT I DON'T KNOW?

THE KIDNAPPINGS.

THOSE SOLDIERS.

THE AMBUSH THAT ENDED 12 LIVES.

THAT WAS YOU.

YOU RECALLED THEIR AIR SUPPORT.

YOU ALLOWED AN ASSAULT ON YOUR OWN SOLDIERS.

YOU SACRIFICED YOUR OWN SON.

JACK WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR THERE.

THEY ARE ALL YOUR CHILDREN, SILAS.

I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

WE NEEDED A STRIKE.

I COULDN'T GET THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT.

I ONLY WANTED A CHANCE AT PEACE.

AND YOU COULDN'T TAKE THAT EITHER.

I BRING A MESSAGE.

SINCE YOU HAVE CAST ASIDE THE WORD OF THE LORD,

HE HAS CAST YOU ASIDE AS KING.

HE GRANTS YOU NO MORE FAVORS.

HE PROTECTS WHAT YOU LOVE NO LONGER.

GOD WISHES A MAN AFTER HIS OWN HEART.

YOU HAVE NONE.

HE WILL FIND ANOTHER.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS?

THEN TO HELL WITH GOD.

YOU ARE JUST A MAN NOW, SILAS.

TRY TO LIVE LIKE ONE...

FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

WHAT HAPPENED?

GOLIATH'S TOOK OUT THE ENTIRE FRONT.

WE GOT HIT HARD.

WHERE'S ELI?

THERE HE IS.

HOW'S THE BIG CITY?

OH, ELI.

HEY, TELL ME SOMETHING.

UM...

HOW DID YOU KNOW THOSE TANKS WEREN'T GONNA SHOOT?

COME ON, DON'T MAKE ME DIE BEFORE I KNOW.

THEIR TANK TEAMS LIKE TO USE THE EXHAUST STACKS

TO HEAT UP THEIR FIELD RATIONS.

THEY DROP THE ENTREES IN WHEN THEY'RE IDLING.

YOU CAN HEAR 'EM GUN THE ENGINES

TO BLOW THE PACKS OUT.

THEY ALWAYS DO IT BEFORE THEY SHELL.

SO THEY CAN HAVE A HOT MEAL IN PEACE WHILE WE--

WHILE WE GOT OUR HEADS IN THE SAND.

HEY, HEY.

IT'S NOT GOOD OUT THERE.

IT'S GONNA GET WORSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

OH, NO, YOU'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.

YOU'RE ALWAYS GOOD AT FIXING THINGS.

NO.

THEY'RE SO MUCH BIGGER THAN ME THERE.

BIGGER THAN YOU?

YOU'RE THE KID IN FRONT OF THE TANK.

YOU'RE A HERO.

I'M NOT WHAT YOU THINK I AM.

I'M NOT A HERO.

THAT WHOLE PICTURE'S A LIE.

BUT YOU STOOD UP TO THEM.

WHEN THEY TOOK THAT PICTURE, I WASN'T STANDING UP.

I WAS SURROUNDED.

THEY HAD ME, SO I SURRENDERED.

I DROPPED MY GUN.

MY GRENADE WENT OFF.

I GOT A LUCKY SHOT IN.

IT WASN'T EVEN LUCK, IT WAS STUPID

I SURRENDERED.

EVERYONE THINKS I'M BRAVE...

BUT I'M NOT.

BE BRAVE NOW.

SIR, YOU'D BETTER SEE THIS.

YOU WANT BLOOD?

COME HERE AND TAKE IT!

IT'S FRESH!

STILL WARM FROM THE LIFE THAT JUST LEFT IT.

THE BLOOD OF MY BROTHER.

SO TAKE IT!

TAKE HIS BLOOD

AND CALL IT ENOUGH.

IF YOU NEED MORE, TAKE MINE.

DO IT!

I SURRENDER.

SHOOT ME AND CALL THAT ENOUGH.

OR CAN ONE OF YOU COME DOWN HERE...

AND SHOW ME YOUR FACE?

SHOW ME THAT YOU'RE MORE THAN TANK, METAL, AND SHELL.

THAT YOU'RE HUMAN LIKE WE ARE.

THAT YOU BREATHE, THAT YOU BLEED.

THAT YOU FEEL AND FEEL PITY.

THAT YOU LIVE FOR MORE THAN OUR DEATHS.

COME.

ANY OF YOU WHO HAVE LOST A BROTHER.

COME AND TELL ME IT'S ENOUGH.

LOST HIS MIND.

GET A GUN ON HIM.

YES, SIR.

HOLD.

HOLD.

WE LOOKED INTO OUR HEARTS

AND FOUND A NEW OPPORTUNITY

FOR PEACEFUL DIALOGUE AND TRUCE.

I PERSONALLY SENT CAPTAIN SHEPHERD,

OUR BRAVEST SOLDIER,

TO EXTEND THE OFFER OF MUTUAL SURRENDER TO GATH.

WHERE IS DAVID SHEPHERD NOW?

CAPTAIN SHEPHERD IS SUFFERING HIS OWN LOSS TODAY.

I HOPE YOU'LL EXTEND TO HIM

THE PRIVACY HE AND HIS FAMILY DESERVE.

"OPPORTUNITY FOR PEACEFUL DIALOGUE?"

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?

I'M GOING TO HOLD PEACE TALKS

WITH THE GATH LEADERSHIP IN THE VINEYARD.

SHEPHERD'S STUNT WAS TOO GRAND A GESTURE.

MY HANDS ARE TIED.

YOU PLANNED IT, THE WHOLE THING, DIDN'T YOU?

FED YOUR WORDS TO THAT UPSTART

AND SENT HIM OUT THERE.

ME?

I'D KILL HIM MYSELF IF I COULD.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

SILAS,

YOU JUST TRADED ONE WAR FOR ANOTHER.

PEN WHICH,

"THE KING'S BROTHER-IN-LAW CAME

AND CONGRATULATED HIM ON THE TRUCE."

NICE TO HAVE MY OWN COUNTRY BACK, ABNER.

YEAH, CALL THE TREASURY.

PULL THE GOLD.

WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THEY CHEER FOR HIM

WHEN THEY'RE STARVING.

THEN WE HANDLE SHEPHERD.

ROYAL GUARD?

PALACE FINEST.

ARE YOU ARRESTING ME?

MORE LIKE DELIVERING AN INVITATION

AND A SMALL HOUSEWARMING GIFT.

TOOK THE LIBERTY OF INSTALLING IT FOR YOU.

BE SEEING YOU I SUPPOSE, SIR.

AND WE'LL BE RECEIVING THE PEACE NEGOTIATORS

FROM GATH HERE AT THE VINEYARD.

IT'S MY PROUD TASK TO MAKE THEM ALL COMFORTABLE

DURING THESE HISTORIC TALKS.

WE FOUND IT, MA'AM.

YOUR CELL PHONE.

LORD BLESS, I LOST IT DAYS AGO.

NATIONAL SECURITY DISASTER. WHERE WAS IT?

OH, PLEASE JUST TELL ME, FOR GOODNESS SAKES.

I HAVE NO SECRETS FROM THE PRESS.

JACK'S CAR, MA'AM.

A MAID FOUND IT IN THE BACKSEAT.

IT WAS WITH THIS.

SO THEN I DID GIVE IT TO YOU.

UNLESS THIS BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE.

OH, JACK.

I LOSE MORE GOOD SECRETARIES THAT WAY.

IS THAT OFF THE RECORD?

OH, WELL, GO AHEAD. I OWE YOU ONE.

BUT PLEASE JUST PROMISE TO MAKE HIM LOOK RAKISH.

I'LL DO MY BEST.

SILAS AND HIS TIME HAS PASSED.

BEING KING IS A YOUNG MAN'S GAME

AND HE'S GROWN OLD.

THIS IS THE TIME FOR BOLD ACTION.

AND FOR ACTION,

WE NEED TO KNOW WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT AT THE READY.

WHAT SAY YOU?

THERE ARE NO WORDS.

YOUR BROTHER WAS BY ALL ACCOUNTS

THE KIND OF MAN THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON.

YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE THE CITY.

I WON'T EVEN TRY TO MAKE YOU STAY.

THE PIANO'S YOURS REGARDLESS.

THEY REALLY NEED ME BACK HOME.

BUT I WAS THINKING I MIGHT STAY.

FEELS LIKE THE BRAVER THING.

IT'S WHAT ELI WOULD'VE DONE.

SHE LIKES HIM.

YOU LIKE HIM TOO.

HAPPINESS REALLY SUITS HER.

MM-HMM. YES.

OH, IT'S EMBARRASSING.

I AM STILL A BIT IN AWE OF YOU

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

ALL YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED.

STILL ACCOMPLISHING.

I'LL LET YOU WORK.

BE RIGHT BACK.
