[knocking on door]Sarah?

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.[dog whines]

Okay, hide the porn,
here I come.

Hey... Sleeping Beauty.

Hey, AJ.

You have class in,
like, 20 minutes.

What time did you
get home last night?

6:00 a.m.
Still count as last night?

Somebody had a fun evening.

[chuckles]
Yeah.

This your mom's new masterpiece?SARAH:
Hot off the presses.

"To my biggest fan.

Love, Ellen M. Cooper."

She signed it?

Mm. My mom would sign
a toilet brush

if you let her.
Not that I'm complaining.

She's been good lately.Mm-hmm.

Take an autograph
from my own mother every day

of the week if it means
she keeps behaving herself.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for
my Nirvana T-shirt.

And I'm automatically
the prime suspect?

I see how it is.

Accused of theft
in my own home.

Okay, it was me.

I'm sorry.
Do you want it back?

Not while it still smells
like Teen Spirit.

Let's go, Fenway.

[grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

[music playing faintly]

[sighs]
Good morning, sunshine.

I had Luis make
yours a triple.

You, Corinne Dearborn,
are an angel.

And you, Sarah Cooper,
are sitting in maple syrup.

Oh, my God.[laughs]

Yeah, Grover was just
gonna clean it up.

How you doing?Tired and sore.

Someone I know kept crashing
into me in the pit last night.

It's a punk show.
You're supposed to go home sore.

I'm not complaining. You can
crash into me whenever you want.

Uh, you know you missed
a spot, actually.

[Sarah laughs]

Make sure you
get it all, Grover.

Can't have my bestie walking
around with syrup ass.

Thanks, Grover.Uh-huh.

LUIS: New special.Wow, Luis.

Italian iced coffee

stabbed with cocktail swords.

The blood is cherry glaze.

I call it the Caesar Freezer.

Huh?

What do you think?

I think you should only sell it
on the Ides of March,

and the receipt
should be in Latin.

Brilliant as ever.Thank you.

Have a good one.Bye, Luis.

Bye.

CORINNE:
You know there are

a dozen more of those
mining company cidiots

showing up every day?

Hopefully the town meeting
today will finally

tell us what the hell
they're doing here.

It's got to be big.
Hmm?

How do you know?

That's the fifth one of those
I've seen this week, so...

unless they're assembling
the Transformers,

I think we're in for
some serious construction.

Well, maybe it's
a good thing, right?

I mean, if whatever
Lydon Industries is doing

means that they invest
in the town,

then the revenue could pay
for local improvements.

And a rising tide
lifts all ships.

Yeah, and a flood
drowns everyone.
MAN:
Sarah.

Oh, so how was last night?

Nothing happened with Grover.

Because you don't
want it to?

Because...
he's my best friend.

Other than you.

And I don't want
to risk losing that.
Mm-hmm.

Yes, I like Grover,

but I can't be the one
to make the first move.

Not after what happened.
It's just too soon.

So, for now the
ball's in his court.

Well, let's just hope that

pretty soon his balls
are in your court.

♪ And wondered if you saved
the ones you had of me... ♪

What?
[chuckling]

We still on for lunch?

Yes. Always.

Same spot?
Yeah.

Have a good class.You, too.

[bell ringing]

All right, all right,
all right, all right, all right,

you little monsters,
let's get started.

Don't let
the goofy hair fool you.

Ethan Allen is an imposing dude.

While the redcoats have been
back in England sipping tea,

this guy has been on the
frontier fist-fighting bears.

He's basically like
colonial Jason Momoa.

[laughter]

So, Ethan and his men take
Fort Ticonderoga.

After clearing
British outposts here,

our heroes head north to...

Anyone?

Bella, eyes on me. Uh...

Tyler, care to enlighten us?

They went north to Crown Point.

Very good. Except now
our militia's being led

by a very dreamy Jon Snow type
named Seth Warner.

Seth Warner, who,
before the war,

worked as a... Maya?

Oh, I don't think she
speaks English. [chuckles]

She hasn't said a word since
she showed up in this town.

If only keeping
one's mouth shut were a skill

we could teach you, Hunter.

Okay, Seth Warner
worked as a surveyor,

and yet he would go on
to lead

one of the most successful
colonial militias

of the whole revolution.

[bell ringing]Just another reminder
that ordinary people

can do extraordinary things.

Thank you.

Maya, will you hang out
for a sec?

[indistinct chatter]

Why didn't you answer
my question just now?

You wrote your last essay
on Seth Warner.

You probably know more
about him than I do.

I know this transition is hard.

Greylock is about as far
from L.A. as you can get.

And as far as class goes,

you don't need to dumb
yourself down to fit in.

Just be your normal
smart self, okay?I can do that.

[car door opens]

[car door shuts]

Danny?

What are you doing here?

I could ask you
the same question.

Don't tell me you're still
living in Greylock.

You work for
Lydon Industries?

Why else would I come back?

[applause]

Thank you. Thank you.

Today's a great day, folks.

Today, our quaint little town

becomes a really big deal.

Now, please join me in welcoming
one of Greylock's

own sons to the stage,
Danny Cooper.

[applause]

Your brother?

DANNY:
I'm excited to announce

that a sizable deposit of coltan
has been discovered

right here in Greylock.

It's a metallic ore
used to make parts for

electronics--
uh, capacitors mostly.

Our engineers have spent
the past few weeks

mapping the deposit

and have finalized a plan
to extract it.

We'll begin with an excavation
on the eastern edge of town.

Once those sites are
up and running,

we'll start work
on a few processing facilities

on Main Street,
as well as new housing

to accommodate
the influx of workers.

Now, uh, Danny, the project
includes upgrades to

local infrastructure, correct?

New roads, new power grid.

New tennis courts
for the high school.

I know my daughter will
love that last one.

DANNY:
Absolutely.

Improving Greylock is among
our highest priorities.

Your success is our success.

Hi.Now, we hope to begin
immediately...

It looks like most of those
buildings sit on private land.

Yes, thank you, Sarah.
I was just getting to that.

Our project does require
acquisition

of a few private properties,

but anyone displaced
by the drilling

will be displaced right into
the home of their dreams.

Uh, I built my house
with my own two hands, Danny.

I'm already in the
home of my dreams.

Well, if you'll just
be patient...

Who are these workers
you're talking about?

We don't need a bunch
of flatlanders taking over.

MAN: What about tourism?MAN 2: What about noise
from construction?

WOMAN:
Is coltan toxic?

Uh, people, please.MAN 2:
What about our water, our air?

I'm sure Lydon can answer
all your concerns.

Of course we can.
Of course we can. Uh...

but it's clear this is not
the place to do it.

We'll schedule
one-on-one meetings

with landowners
in the coming weeks.

In the meantime,
let me just say thank you

to Mayor Whitmore,
and, uh, congratulations.

[chuckles]
You all just won the lottery.

WHITMORE:
Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you.

[applause]MAN: Don't feel
like the lottery, though, huh?

SARAH:
Danny. Danny.

Hey.

Danny, what are you doing?

You mean besides my job?

You were gone for years.

No calls, no e-mails,
no nothing.

You could have been dead
for all we knew.

Now you're back for what?
What, what is this,

some kind of revenge tour?Revenge tour?

I'm here for work, Sarah.

This has nothing
to do with you.

This has everything
to do with me.

You can't just appear
after all this time

and expect me to act
like everything's fine.

And don't even get me started
on whatever the hell that was.

Processing facilities
on Main Street?

We don't even have stoplights
on Main Street.

This land
you're talking about--

what if people don't want
to sell it to you?

They'll sell, Sarah.
They always do.

Everyone's a revolutionary
till they count

the zeros on the check.

Come on, Danny,
this is your home, too.Was.

Was my home, sis.

Now it's just another
Podunk town

on a long list of places
I'd rather not be.

You're more than welcome
to leave.

I will be gone
soon enough,

and these people can go back
to their worthless little lives

with all their worthless
little friends.

How is Mom, by the way?

[Danny clears throat]

[chuckles]

Oh, don't worry, if it's a fight
you want... I'll give you one.

[engine starts]

[car door opens and closes]

[door closes]SARAH:
Mom.

Mom?

Oh... geez, Mom.

[slurring]:
Hi, honey.

What are you doing here?

I came to tell you about
Danny being back in town,

but clearly you've
already heard.

The prodigal son returns.[Sarah sighs]

I thought I would have
a little celebration.

Yeah, it looks like
more than a little.

Well, you say potato
and I say potato.

You had ten months sober, Mom.

So what?
So that's a big deal.

It's important.
Not to...

Not to mention the fact that
I put in a lot of work

to get you those
ten months, Mom.

[inhales deeply]

So, what do you want, a medal?

What I want is to be able
to come to your house

and not worry I'm gonna find you
face down in your own puke.

If you came here
to make me feel bad,

you can just leave.No, Mom, I can't.

[music playing softly]

Hunter, Hunter, stop! Stop!

Hey, come on, Bella.

I mean, do you really
want to be the only one

of your friends
who's still a virgin?

Do you really want
to be the only one

of your friends
with a broken nose?

Forget it.

Thought you were cool.

I thought the same thing
about you.

Bella.

Bella.[engine starts]

Bella!

Bitch!

[animal chittering]

All the times I've had to pick
my mother up off the floor.

Think I'd be used to it by now.

You know you don't always got
to be the one picking her up.

Who else is gonna do it?

It'd be nice if she could
finally learn to do it herself.

[engine starts, horn blows]

Danny.

You presented
Lydon's plans yesterday.

You can't start
working today.

People have a right
to protect their land.

Their land, sure.

The plots we're clearing
today are municipal.

Means the mayor is free
to sell us the mineral rights.

Fine,
but these municipal plots

share a boundary
with people's homes.

You're about to wipe out
their backyards.

Well, they're more
than welcome to move

their backyards someplace else.

Yeah.

DANNY:
Sarah, get out of the way.

Sarah, move!Or what?

You gonna run me over
in front of all these people?

Lydon Industries is a publicly
traded company, right?

How does flattening

usually play
with the stockholders?

Let's go!

The tiny New Hampshire town
made headlines this week

after it was announced
that a billion dollars' worth

of coltan was discovered
within its borders.

But it looks like
local residents aren't

going down without a fight--
"Live Free or Die" indeed.

The dispute is likely
to end up in court...

You get enough to eat?

You want some more toast?

I got to go to the library
before school starts.

Hey, the pumpkin patch
on Jefferson Road

is finally open-- I was thinking

we could go
this weekend.

You know,

the transition to your new home
might be a little easier

if you adjusted
your attitude.

This isn't my home. My home's
in L.A. with my friends

and family.I'm your family, Maya.

No, you're the dude
that knocked my mom up

16 years ago,

then remembered he was gay
and ran off.

I didn't run off.

Your mother and I decided
it was best if we parted ways.

Best for who?

My mom's in jail and that
stupid judge sent me here.

The only person who got
the life they wanted

is you.

[door opens, bell jingles]

She hates me.

Sit down, sit down.

This is Maya's AP history
exam from yesterday.

After she finished, she
spent the rest of class

drawing Los Angeles
on the back.

She doesn't
hate you, Luis.

She's just homesick.

[crowd clamoring]

[quietly]:
What the hell?

[indistinct chatter, clamoring]

Danny.

I told you, you can't just roll
in here and bulldoze our land.

This is not your land.
Not anymore.

And you are?

Way less of a pushover
than your brother is.

This is Marilyn Hill,
she's senior vice president

of our legal group.

This morning, Governor Taggert
signed eminent domain paperwork

which gives Greylock's
public space

to the state
of New Hampshire,

and the state
of New Hampshire would like

to resume work right away.

Eminent domain paperwork
takes forever.

The only way you
could al-- oh.

The town meeting was just
a show-- you're trying to get us

to sign off on something
you're gonna do anyway.

Maybe the locals aren't quite
as slow as you said they'd be.

Hey, come on, you don't have
to talk to us like that.

I don't have
to talk to you at all.

♪

We have to stop these bastards.

And I'm not talking about
playing chicken with bulldozers.

We need to figure out a way
to send Lydon packing for good.

Forget it, Sarah.

They're a billion-dollar
corporation and we're...

Not.Their sparkling water budget's

probably bigger
than our municipal GDP.

We can't beat them.Come on, you guys.

We can't just sit here
and let them flatten us.

We have to fight back.

You guys, I know
how we can stop this.

I took a class in college
on early American cartography.

Luis reminded me
of a weird thing we studied

that I think can help us.

As long as we belong
to New Hampshire,

New Hampshire makes
the rules, but...

what if we didn't belong
to New Hampshire?

Are you suggesting
we secede from the Union?

[chuckles]You have

to be a part of the Union

before you can secede from it.

We don't qualify.

The first people who lived on
this land were the Abenaki.

For hundreds of years they had a
thriving civilization, until a

bunch of French and English
colonists

Showed up and pillaged,
plundered and poached them from

their homes.

Those colonists went on to
divide up a continent that was

never there'’s to begin with

Long story short, we have the
US, and we have Canada

The border between
New Hampshire and Canada

was established in 1842 by
the Webster-Ashburton Treaty.

Part of that border is set
by the Woonsock River,

which flows along the
southern edge of town.

But check it out.

When the Canadians
mapped the area

in January of 1842,

they drew the river
in one place.

When the Americans
mapped it four months later,

they drew the river
way further south.

Why? Because the river jumped

between the dates
the maps were drawn.

It happens for all kinds of
reasons, it's pretty common.

Here's the uncommon part.

The treaty says that everything
north of the Woonsock is Canada.

And everything south

is America.

The river jumping
left a huge chunk

of openeds land

in the middle.

Greylock sits in that land.

Which means that this town was
never legally claimed by anyone.

If we declare independence,

we'd gain total control over
what happens within our borders,

including who does and does not
get to drill on our land.

The way to save our town is
to turn it into a country.

[sighs]Are you insane?

I-I want to stop the drilling
as much as the next person,

but declaring independence--
it's...

Insane.

Okay, guys, chill.

I'm not suggesting
we actually start a new country.

We just got to make Lydon
think we are.

We declare independence
using this map loophole,

and the whole thing will get
tangled up in court.

Lydon will have
to stop drilling,

which will give us time
to figure out

how to save Greylock for good.

AJ:
Let's say we go along with this.

How exactly do we
declare independence?

We just text the president,
"Boy, bye"?

We hold a vote.

If the majority of Greylock
says yes, we're in.

Lydon started
eminent domain proceedings

way before anyone in this town
even knew

there was coltan under our feet.

If they want
to play dirty, fine.

So can we.

We need to put a stop to this.
Now, earlier today,

Sarah had her mother
call in a favor

with the district judge.

He signed off
on an emergency referendum

on independence.

Which means that
the only way

that we can stop
this ridiculous idea now

is to win the vote.

This is clearly some kind
of tactic just to slow us down.

Whatever it is,
it's dangerous.

Besides, I know I'm not
the only person in town

who sees some benefit
from Lydon's plans.

What we need to do
is to convince people

to vote against Sarah's
plan for independence.

Now, Sarah and her pals
are already knocking on doors.

It is time that
we do the same.

That's right.

good things will happen.

Good things.

Really good things.

Okay, thanks.[laughs]

Good night, Corinne.

Cruella de Vil, was it?

You here to bulldoze
our town hall?

I'm here so I can tell you

I know the truth
about your mother.

Ellen Cooper: renowned
public servant,

best-selling author
and, as it turns out,

world-class alcoholic.

Those are police reports
from the late '90s.

They detail a handful
of incidents involving
your mother.

She was arrested three times
for DUI.

There was also an episode
in which several people

reported hearing her
screaming at your brother.

He was only
11 years old.

The sheriff at the time
buried the cases,

and no abuse was ever reported.

Kill this independence
thing, or those go public.

Danny told me how much
your mother means to you.

You're a
classic fixer.

Hopelessly devoted
to broken people.

You'll do the right thing,

even if you don't know it yet.

[departing footsteps]

[knocking]

Are you kidding me, Danny?

Sarah?I know it was you.

You gave Marilyn
those police reports.

You gave her Mom,
so she could get me.

Sarah, I have no idea...

Just shut up.

What did I do?

What did I do to you
that was

so bad that you decided
your life

would be better
without me in it?

[sighs]

All I have ever wanted
was to be close to you,

and all you've ever done
is try to get away from me.

I know what Mom was.

I remember the night
you had to get stitches

'cause she threw a glass
at your head.

I remember the bruises
on your back

when she hit you
with a bottle.

[sniffles]

I get why you stopped talking
to her for all these years.

[Sarah sniffles]

[softly]:
But why did you
stop talking to me?

[exhales]

[sighs]

Okay.

[sniffles]

You win, Danny.

Congratulations.
[sniffles]

Um... I'll stop the vote
on independence.

It was a...
it was a dumb idea, anyway.

I'll just go away.

[sighs]:
I've had enough of you
for one lifetime.

we need to talk.

Sarah.

You got to see this.

I had a long career
that saw the public

put their faith in me,

a faith that I repaid
with deceit.

But the deceit stops now.

I'm an alcoholic.

Both during my years
in politics and today.

The truth is that I was arrested
three times for drunk driving

during my tenure
in the State Senate.

I regret that I didn't
have the courage

to get the help that I needed.

I want to apologize

to anyone who has been hurt
by my actions,

especially members of my family.

To my children...

I'm sorry.

All of the titles
that I've ever held,

"mother" is the one
I'm the proudest of.

But the one that
I deserve the least.

I'm so sorry.

Your confession
this morning...

Why did you do it?

Well, late last night,
your brother came to the house.

He made it perfectly clear
he still wants nothing

to do with me.

I guess he feels differently
about you.

You've spent your whole life
protecting me.

I think it's about time
I return the favor.

Does this mean you believe
in independence?

It means that I believe in you.

Well, that makes one of us.
[chuckles]

But the last thing
anyone needs

is me hiding in a closet,
crying into a tub of Rocky Road.

I guess I'm just...

...scared.

You know, Sarah,

when things got hard
during my career,

hiding in the closet and crying
into a tub of Rocky Road

is exactly what I did.

Except, in my case,
it wasn't a tub of Rocky Road.

The fact that you're
facing this head-on,

it's all the proof you need

that you're ready for this.

♪

I've changed my mind
about independence.

The whole thing started

as a tactic to slow
the governor down

so that we could gain
some leverage

over the mining company.

Declaring independence
was just a trick.

But I don't think it should be.

I think we should do it
for real.

[laughter, murmuring]

WILLIAM:
Okay, stop.

Sarah, just stop.

You can't honestly believe
we should declare independence.

I believe in this town, William.

I believe Greylock is
worth saving.

[chuckles]:
Listen, I'm no hero.

It should be obvious
to everyone by now

I have no idea what I'm doing.

[chuckles]I certainly

don't know how
to run a country,

let alone start a new one.

But here's what I do know.

I know that I care
about the people in this town.

I know I'm not gonna
let them get steamrolled.

And I know
that Lydon Industries,

and every other giant

bloodsucking corporation

that thinks they can walk
all over average people

in pursuit of a quick buck,

are more than welcome
to go right to hell.

Yeah![cheering and whooping]

That's right!

Please tell me
you haven't been

hanging out
at Dad's rock.

He's not coming
back, Sarah.

He's never coming back.

So, you gonna tell me
why you stopped

your boss's blackmail plot
or do I have to guess?

A fair fight is
one thing.

You go head-to-head
with Marilyn

and she kicks your
ass, so be it.

But her cheating
didn't sit right.

Why not?Because...

you're my sister.

Never stopped you
from being crappy to me before.

I was a kid before.

My life isn't better
without you in it.

I wanted to call.

Every time I thought
of Greylock,

everything that happened...

It just hurt too much.

If it's so painful,
why come back?

And don't say "work."
A company as big as Lydon--

they could've found
somebody else.

I'm sorry I punched you.

that we will be stopping
all mining operations

until we get a chance to further

discuss the issue.REPORTER: Ms. Cooper,

are you expecting backlash

you the leader

Sarah Cooper.

I'm Special Agent Lindholm
