Previously on
The Republic of Sarah...

You know there are a dozen more
of those mining company cidiots

showing up every day?SARAH: Danny?

What are you doing here?
You work for Lydon Industries?

Your brother?

A sizable deposit of coltan

has been discovered
right here in Greylock.

Josh, hi, sweetie.
Goodbye, Danny.

Corinne, wait.I did. Longer than
I should have.

I'm not gonna do that again.

This morning, Governor Taggert
signed eminent domain paperwork

which gives Greylock's
public space

to the state
of New Hampshire.

You're gonna wipe Greylock
off the map.

I know how we can stop
the drilling.

What if it didn't belong
to New Hampshire?

Are you insane?No, AJ.

Greylock was never
legally claimed by anyone.

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

FBI AGENT:
Sarah Cooper, we're
placing you under arrest.

[lock buzzes in distance]

[muffled, indistinct chatter]

What are you doing here?

Four hours
from Greylock to Concord

and that's the welcome I get?

I told you I didn't want
anybody seeing me like this.

Oh, save it, Shawshank.
I'm not going anywhere.

There's no way
I'm gonna let my best friend

it in federal prison
by herself.

How you doing?

Let's see. I've been
arrested for a crime

which carries
a 20-year sentence,

the prosecutor on my trial
has never lost a case

and the judge set my bail
at a million dollars.

So, you know, peachy.

Hey, it could be worse.

How on Earth could it be worse?

The judge could have set your
bail at two million dollars.

[chuckles]

I'm so screwed.

This is a disaster, Grover.

I think you're in good shape.

[laughs]

[chuckles]Okay.

Fair enough.
Your card is the real disaster.

WOMAN: [over P.A.]:
Sarah Cooper,
you just cleared bail.

Head to Discharge
for immediate release.

Bae, don't look at me.

I don't have a million bucks
lying around.

So who does?

ELLEN:
It was nothing.

Just a little
creative accounting

with my retirement funds.

And the house as collateral,
of course.

Thank you.You better not
flee the country

before the trial,
or I'll be homeless.

I'm not fleeing
anything.

If the FBI was hoping
for a pushover,

they picked a fight
with the wrong girl.

If you're gonna fight,
you're gonna need a lawyer.

A good one.

You aren't seriously considering

letting your mother
be your lawyer.

My mother spent six years
as an A.D.A.

before she got into politics.

She's still a member
of the state bar.

She's a very capable woman.

When she's sober.

If she's sober.

A public defender would be in

way over her head
with something like this,

and there aren't exactly
a bunch of people putting

their hands up
to pay for a ritzy lawyer.

Okay, so we take out a loan,

or we hold a fundraiser

to pay for a lawyer.

You want to buy an attorney
with a bake sale?

This is serious, Sarah.

Which is exactly why I need
someone who will fight

tooth and nail,
do whatever it takes to win.

The kind of person
who would go on TV

and tell the whole world
about her three D.U.I.s

and difficult family history
just to protect me.

REPORTER: Less than
one month ago, Sarah Cooper

was just a high school
history teacher.

This morning, however,
she steps into

a federal courthouse to assume
a new title: defendant.

Well, when Lydon Industries
and the state of New Hampshire

conspired to flatten
a whole town, my daughter

stood up and stopped them.

That's not a criminal.
That's a hero.

ANCHOR:
Reactions to Cooper's story
run the gamut

from condemnation to support.

Cooper's lawyer
has presented evidence that

the town of Greylock was never
claimed by the United States.

ELLEN:
Well, the fact is,

nations have to come
from somewhere.

What do people think--
God snapped his finger one day

and-and, poof,
the U.N. appeared?

-[indistinct chatter]
-MAN: You belong in prison!

PUNDIT: Does anyone
really expect America

to just hand over a chunk

of its territory?
"We don't need this anymore,

it's all yours."

After two months at the center
of the news cycle,

the story
of the small New Hampshire town

that defied a nation
has finally come to an end.

The jury returned a verdict
of "not guilty"

for Sarah Cooper
on her sedition charge.

And, in a shocking move,
the judge then recommended

the American government
give up control of Greylock.

[reporters clamoring]

Ms. Cooper.
Ms. Cooper! Ms. Cooper,

do you feel vindicated
by the court's decision?

Turning Greylock
into a new country

was never the point
of all of this.

The point was to protect

our right to decide

how we want to live
our own lives.

Because as far
as we're concerned,

whether it's Greylock
or anywhere else...

people should rule the palace

and not the other way around.REPORTER: Governor Taggert!

Governor Taggert.
Governor Taggert,

what do you think
about Ms. Cooper's acquittal?

I think Sarah's unwavering
commitment to her citizens

is something we
all can aspire to.

The coltan in Greylock
would've meant

a lot of money to New Hampshire.

From the moment I joined

Sarah's mother in
the state senate

in, what, 1998

and became governor
six years ago,

I've been fighting to protect
my constituents' rights.

I think we should applaud
Sarah for doing the same.

She's proven herself
to be a leader.

If Greylock wants
independence,

I'm happy to provide it.
"Live Free or Die."

Right?REPORTER: Ms. Cooper!

Ms. Cooper!

We can't get the lights

I think the whole block's out.

Oh, my God.

She cut the power.

Wait, what? What are you talking
about? Who cut the power?

The governor. As
of this morning,

Greylock is no longer a part

of New Hampshire.
She must have

shut down our
state utilities.

We're officially on our own.

WILLIAM:
This blackout is unacceptable.

You have a clinic
without emergency equipment.

You have railroad crossings
without signal arms

or safety flashers.

I mean,
the whole town is in the dark.

Not the whole town.Plenty of lights on
in your neighborhood.

AJ:
Those fancy generators
you all have

keeping your houses
nice and toasty?

I-I wouldn't want your money
to get cold.

You are endangering the lives
of everyone in Greylock.

CORINNE:
Pump the breaks, bud.

We're on it.The clinic's patients
have already

been transferred to
Sacred Heart's down the road,

Greylock PD is providing
flashlights and blankets

to anyone
who needs them.Great.

And the fire department
already put extra signs

at all the railroad crossings.

And I already have meetings
set up

with a dozen utility companies.

We're gonna get the power
back on in no time.

Okay?

Well, you better.

Because the longer this goes on,

the more obvious it is that you
don't know what you're doing.

AJ:
Careful, Willy.

Mess with Queen Bey,
you'll get a face full of Kelly.

And Michelle.

That's the third one, right?

Okay, Sarah, we all know that
you can make pretty speeches,

but pretty speeches
don't power our homes.

So either you figure out a way

to lead this town or this town
will find someone who can.

DANNY:
It's Josh, right?

Y-You mind if I, um,

walk on this?

It's a free country.[chuckles]

Yeah, so far, anyway.

My name's Danny.

I know you.
You're Idiot Face.

My mom's been talking
about you.

And she calls me Idiot Face.

She calls you
a lot of things,

but I'm not allowed
to say most of 'em.

I don't think
she likes you.

Yeah. I don't think
she does, either.

What'd you do?

A lot of things
I shouldn't have.

Did you say
you're sorry?

[chuckles softly]

I'm working on it.

Is, um...
i-is your mom home?

She's at school.

My dad's here.

That's okay.

Um...

I got to go anyway.

Can you...

can you tell your mom
that I stopped by?

I'll tell her.

Thanks, Josh.

See ya later,

Idiot Face.

Bye, Josh.

WILLIAM:
Phone down. [sighs]

We need to talk about you
sneaking out last night.

Alice Hurley saw you
at Sweetie Pie...

I don't understand
why this is such a big deal.

How many
people can say

they were part
of a brand-new country?

It's exciting.
It's...

historic.It's dangerous.

Look, Bell,
I am not trying to be difficult,

but your stepmom
and I are concerned.

And I'm your father.
It's my job to protect you.

From an ice cream party?

No, from ruining your future.

[chuckles]You're applying

to college next year.
You need to be here studying,

not out playing anarchy dress-up
in Sarah's revolution.

Dad, playing anarchy dress-up
with Ms. Cooper

would help me get into colleges.

No, not the colleges
that we want.

Not the colleges that you want.

Okay, look,

Bella,

I am just trying to make sure
that you are spending time

with people who can help you
be successful.

Sarah's
a good person.

She can give you
a brand-new country.

I'm trying to give you
the whole world.

[sighs]

I look like a realtor.

I think you look
very professional.

Yeah, like
a professional realtor.[chuckles softly]

Ugh.

[grunts softly]

So, uh,

Mom, what are you
gonna do now?

Like, with my trial,
you had something to focus on.

Now that it's over,
I just want to...

want to make sure
you land on your feet.

As opposed to my face.
Right?

I'm sure I'll find something
to keep me very busy.

Um, what if
that something were me?

I'm trying to run a country.

I need help.

You have help.

You have Corinne.
You have AJ.

[chuckles]:
You have Grover.

They don't have your experience.

Well, they also
don't have my drinking problem.

Helping out
with Greylock

means going back
into politics.

We both know
what that world did to me,

what it turned me into.

I can't go
back there.

I think
I'm gonna live my life...

...a little more quietly
from now on.

Well, uh,
we're totally boned.

I just got off the phone with
the guy from Harding Electric.

Greg or... Craig, maybe?

I don't know. Anyway, it doesn't
matter, because he's not coming.

He cancelled his
meeting with you today.

What? Why?

Uh, he said he couldn't
risk losing his contracts

with New Hampshire over
a relationship with us.

And when I asked him
what the hell that means,

he hung up on me. So I called
the other guys on your list.

They all said the same thing.

Wait, so is anyone
gonna meet with me?

Mm-mmm.It's the governor.

It's Gail.

She's trying to sabotage
the town.

CORINNE:
Well, it's working.

I mean, there isn't
an electric company

within a thousand miles of us
willing to sell us power.

We are indeed totally boned.

♪

Queen of the North.

What can I do for you?

You can stop telling
power companies

not to do business
with Greylock.

I haven't told anybody
not to do business with you.

I've simply said
that those who do

can kiss their New Hampshire
contracts goodbye.

It's a little trick
I learned from your mother.

Nobody could bring her rivals
to heel quite like Ellen Cooper.

What you're doing is wrong.

What I'm doing is in the best
interests of my constituents.

Two months ago,
you tried to bulldoze a town

full of your
constituents.

So that I could help
the rest of the state.

Okay.

Do you have any idea
what I could have done

with that coltan money?

I could have
put food on the table

of every hungry child
in New Hampshire.

I could have built a house
for every needy family.

Oh, so now
you're building houses?

And here
I thought

you were so much more interested
in flattening them.

Let me tell you a little secret.

Hmm?

Leadership--

real leadership--

it's just math.

Call it human calculus.

You take a problem and you try
to balance the equation

so that more people
are helped than harmed.

That's it.

That's the whole deal.

And you better get used
to that idea

if you really plan on becoming
a head of state.[phone buzzing]

You also better learn
to play hardball,

or you're the one
who's gonna be flattened.

D'accord.

Oui.

Merci beaucoup.

Hey, Maya.

Uh, why isn't your name on
the list for the sophomore trip?

'Cause I can think of
a million better ways

to spend a weekend than...

uh, eating French fry mush
and staring at windmills.

Poutine's
Canada's national dish.

And the wind farm's
gonna be fun.

I thought it would be cool
to see one,

'cause we studied 'em last term.

Yeah. Sounds
like a real rager.

Why don't you like me?

What?

You always ignore me at school.

You roll
your eyes at me.

And you're always leaving the
room when I come to see Tyler.

I like you just fine.

Listen, I've never
been bitchy to you,

and I've never talked
about you behind your back.

But... you hate me.

I-I don't get it.
I didn't do anything.

That's right.

You didn't do anything.

When your little flock of
"Daddy dearest" VSCO girls

made fun of
my clothes,

you didn't do
anything.

When your douchebag
ex-boyfriend joked

about how I couldn't
speak English,

you didn't do anything.

I'd never say those things.

No, you let other people
say them for you.

Have fun on your field trip.

H-Hey, hold this,
would you?

Yeah.

GROVER:
Just catching up
on some repairs

while the power's down.

Now I know who to call

next time I need help
with a screw.

That came out wrong.

Oh, it sounded right to me.

I meant, like,

handyman stuff.

Yeah, Sarah's great
with a handyman.

Hey, Bella.
You ready for Montreal?

I know
everyone's very excited.

Well, not everyone,
apparently.

What's this?

It's a wind farm,
okay?

And, look,
I know that sounds lame,

but the trip has to include
some activities

that relate to stuff
we've learned in class.

We can't just watch hockey
and eat French fries.

Anyway, I think
the wind farm's cool,

and I really don't care
if that makes me a dork.

That doesn't
make you a dork, Bella.

That makes you a hero.

It's a wind farm just over
the Canadian border.

And based on the research I
did this afternoon, I think

this is the answer
to our power problem.

This place makes
enough electricity for Greylock?

Yeah, and then some.

It's owned by a guy
named Liam Lefèvre.

He's a sovereignist.

He thinks Quebec should be
an independent nation.

Lucky for us,
Governor Taggert doesn't agree.

She opposes sovereignty
for Quebec.

Which makes her
an enemy for Liam.

And hopefully makes us a friend.

We'll see later,
when I talk to him.

Assuming I can
talk to him at all.

What does that mean?

One of the central tenets
of Quebec's sovereignty movement

is preserving the province's
unique Francophone culture.

So, um, Liam only speaks French.

Okay.

So, who do we know
who speaks French?

BELLA:
Un...

anémomètre girouette.

One... animated giraffe?

[chuckles]

One weathervane anemometer.

It measures wind speed
and direction.

Are you sure about this?

I mean, your dad said he didn't
want you around Ms. Cooper.

And I'm sure she could
find somebody else

to translate for her.

You don't have
to do anything.

I'm kind of sick of being the
girl who doesn't do anything.

I don't really care
about what my dad says.

People need help, and...
I'm gonna give it to 'em.

SARAH:
I absolutely agree, Mr. Lefèvre.

[translating in French]When fancy politicians
try to tell

average people how to live,
you have to fight back.

That's exactly what
we're trying to do here.

But we need your help.

[speaking French]

BELLA:
Wattage no problem.

Easy to hook into your system.

Lights back on
before you know it.

Are you serious?

[speaking French]

Price is price.

Mr. Lefevre, please.
We need power to survive,

and you're the only person
who has it.

Come on.

I thought
we were kindred spirits.

[chuckles]Brothers in arms

against tyranny.

[speaking French]

We are. That's why price is not
six times what we pay now.

How the hell
am I gonna pay for this?

You could raise the taxes?

Um, or maybe you could
sell some town land.

Or maybe the governor
could loan you the money

as, like, a gesture of peace.

You're not gonna
squeeze a cent out of her.

I'd have better luck

taking a metal detector out into
the park and trying to dig up...

That's it.

What?

That's how we pay for it.

We have to dig.

With him.

With who?

[knocking]

Guess my "goodbye" was
a little premature, huh?

I'm sorry. You want Lydon
to dig for coltan in Greylock?

Didn't you just
declare independence

to stop that from happening?

I changed my mind.

About your country?

About your company.

Oh, so you're ready
to admit that maybe

we aren't the, uh,
soulless corporate worms

you thought we were?

I don't thinkyou're soulless
corporate worms.

I know you are.

And that's exactly
why you're here.

I need cash to pay Greylock's
electric bill,

but all the money this town has
is buried underneath it.

Who better to go digging in
the dirt than a bunch of worms?

Lydon can dig two mines--

here and here.

That's it.

No processing facilities,

no freight depots,
no whatever else.

And you have to pay
for our power

until the mines are operational.

Once money starts coming in,
the town will pay Lydon back.

No.

No, you won't pay
for our power?

No, we won't dig
for coltan in this town.

The company's time is
better spent elsewhere.

Sorry, sis.
Lydon's been busy

since our little battle
started two months ago.

Truth is,
we don't need Greylock anymore.

Yes, you do.

Because our little battle
wasn't so little.

You said so yourself.

The media's all over you,
your stock has plummeted.

Lydon's in need of a makeover.

What better way
to show the world

you know how to do business
in a reasonable and ethical way

than to come back to Greylock

and to do business
in a reasonable and ethical way?

I'm not suggesting

we bulldoze the town.
I only offered Danny two mines.

Just enough to get our lights
on and keep us afloat.

But why Lydon?

Can't you find anybody else?

There's only a handful

of companies in the world that
know how to mine for coltan,

and every single one of them is

a cold-blooded,

Bond-villain greed monster.

But when it comes down to it,

I would rather stick

with the devil we know
than the devil we don't.

"Devil" is one word for Danny.
I can think of plenty of others.

I know that having my brother
around will be tough.

But if I have to negotiate
for Greylock's future,

I'd rather the person
across from me be someone

who I know isn't gonna
lie to me, who's proven

he's not gonna break the rules
to get what he wants.

I'm sorry.
When did Danny prove that?It was Danny.

He was the one who stopped
Lydon's blackmail plot.

Your mom going on TV
stopped Lydon's blackmail plot.

Yeah, she went on TV
because Danny told her

what his boss was
trying to do to me.

Why would he torpedo
his own company?

I don't know.
He said what Marilyn was doing

didn't sit right,
and I'm his little sister,

and he didn't want to let
anyone mess with me like that.

I didn't want to tell you guys
because I didn't want

to give you any reason
to think of Danny

as anything other than
a selfish, arrogant dick,

and he is a selfish,
arrogant dick...

but at least I know he's not

a cheat.

You guys have to

trust me.
Bringing Danny

back to Greylock
is the only option we have

to make this country work.

Hey. Aren't you supposed
to be in Montreal?

Didn't feel right leaving
Bella behind after what she did.

Oh, what did she do?She helped

translate this meeting
with some French guy

to help Ms. Cooper
get the power back on.

And her dad was pissed.

Told her she couldn't
go to Montreal, so...

Wait. He makes her
take French lessons,

then grounds her for using them?

So... why did she help?Said she didn't

want to be the girl
who doesn't do anything anymore.

That supposed to be a horse?

Yeah. There something
wrong with my horse?

Let me help you.

Here.
I think you mixed it up.

DANNY:
We have a deal.

On one condition.

You offered us
two coltan mines?

For my bosses to say yes
to your plan,

you'd need to let us
build a third mine... here.

You're joking.

There are two houses
on that land, Danny.

Lydon would cover any relocation
costs for the residents,

plus a five percent...Absolutely not.

Sarah.One of those
houses belongs...

I know who it belongs to.

It's not my call.

That third mine
would be more lucrative

than the first two combined.

If you allow us
to drill this site,

I'm authorized
to sign your paperwork.

We'd issue a payment
to your wind farmer today.

The lights would be back on
in Greylock by tonight.

No.

I can't ask anyone
to give up their home.

Agree to this deal,
and Greylock gets more

than just its lights back on.

It gets a permanent source
of income

to pay for all the things
a country needs.

It's just two houses,

and right here, right now,

you finally get what you've been
fighting so hard for.

And what's that?

Freedom.

I know it hurts, but

without you,
without what you did,

Greylock doesn't exist.

The whole town is
wiped off the map.

If you decide
to give Danny what he wants,

don't focus on the two homes
that you're losing. Focus on

the hundreds that
you've already saved.

Grover...
Grover built that house himself.

I know.

It was his wedding gift
to Patience.

I know.

[sighs]
What am I supposed to tell him?

The truth.

Okay?

You tell him
the truth.

How's it going,
Madam President?

No sign

of the Hungarian Army yet, but
I'm sure they're on their way.

Nah, you're killing
the whole leadership thing,

like I knew you would.
So...

I got your text. What'd
you want talk to me about?

I saw Danny earlier.

With any luck,
we should have the...

the power back
in the next day or so.

That's good news.Yeah.

Thing is, there's...
there's bad news, too.

One of the mines is gonna go on

the northeast
edge of town.

Near my house.

Ah.

Am I about to be living next
to a smokestack?

How-how close
are we talking about?

Grover, one of the mines
is going on your land.

What?

They did
some geological analysis,

and there's a lot of coltan
under your property.

They need it.

Well, they can't have it.

Lydon's gonna build
you a new house.

I don't want a new house.
I want my house.

It sucks.

But, um...

this... this is the deal.

Then make a new deal.I tried.

Nope. Try harder.Grover. Please.

No, I won't sell!Please?

Then Greylock will take
the land by eminent domain.

What?

If there was
any other way, you know

I would do it, but I have
to get the power back on.

And to do that,
I have to take your house.

Grover, talk to...

[knocking]

Deal.

The third mine is yours.

I'll get started right away.

You okay?Nope.

I met Josh the other day.

I don't want to sound crazy,

but is there any chance that...

No. No.

He's not your son.

He's exactly
the right age, Sarah.

Count backwards from how old
he is today, add nine months,

and you land right before
Corinne and I broke up.

You and Corinne didn't
break up. You abandoned her.

It's just, talking to him,
I had this feeling that we're...

He's not your son.

Right. Of course.

Yeah.

Sorry I asked.

When you didn't
answer your phone,

I figured you might be here.

Bailey Pond is where
Patience and I

had our first kiss.

Sophomore year,
after the Fall Ball.

I remember that night.

Yeah, she and I came back here
every year for our anniversary.

And when I finished the house,
I used a branch

from the tree
right over there

to make the welcome sign
outside the front door.

Our front door.

I know you're angry.

You have every
right to be.

Tell me what I can do
to make you feel better,

and I'll do it.

Anything.

I get it, Sarah-- you're doing
what's best for Greylock.

I get it.

Just because I understand
your decision

doesn't mean I have to like it.

Ovarian cancer
took Patience from me

one year, ten months,

three weeks and... six days ago.

The house is the only thing
I have left of her.

It's more than a house.
It's...

it's a history.

And now that's getting
taken away from me, too.

You want to make me feel better?
Leave me alone.

[sniffles]
I can't...

I can't do that, Grover.

I want to...

I want to help.

I want to be as good a friend to
you as you've always been to me.

Okay, you are
a good friend, Sarah.

And you're a good leader.

But you can't be both
at the same time.

♪

♪

Hey.
Power's on all over town.

Greylock is officially
back from the dead.

Wish I could say
the same about you.

I'm fine.

You sure?

Because after a whole day
of lying in this bed,

I kind of hoped
you'd be done by now.

Done with what?Feeling sorry for yourself.

I have to bulldoze
Grover's house, AJ.

I'm sorry it's not all...

rainbows and
sunshine in here.

You know you're the leader
of this town now.

Greylock is counting on you.

Maybe they should
count on someone else.

They don't want
someone else.

Look... I didn't want to tell
you this during your trial,

because I know
how stressed you were.

But while you were away, William
tried to retake the town.

Like, with a tank?

No, with a petition.
[chuckles]

He didn't even get close.

Because Greylock wanted you.

You're the one that
protected them from Lydon.

You're the one
that saved this town.

You're the superhero
they all needed.

So quit moping.

Put your cape back on.

Hi, everyone.

This is Sarah.

If you're seeing me right now,

then it's probably obvious
that the power's back on.

It wasn't easy.

Sadly, for us, electricity
doesn't grow on trees.

So... I had to make
some hard decisions.

Greylock will work
with Lydon Industries to build

three coltan mines in town.

These mines
will pay for our power,

as well as
anything else we need.

They will put money
into our economy

and they will provide jobs
to local workers.

Lydon will be
on a very short leash

while they're here--
one wrong move,

and it will be bye-bye,
corporate scumbags.

In order to build these mines,

we have to demolish two homes.

I've already reached out
to the families,

and I can assure you I will do
my best to take care of them.

Everyone in Greylock
is important.

I'm not gonna let anybody
fall through the cracks,

especially those we ask
to make sacrifices.

Let me close by saying this.

I'm not perfect.

I'm never going to be.

But as long as I'm your leader,
I will work my ass off

to take care
of each and every one of you,

and I will do whatever it takes
to make it right when I fail.

I promise.

Thank you.

I'll just...Okay.

Corinne.

Hi.Hi,

Danny. I'm...

I'm so sorry to, uh,
barge in on you. I-I...

I just know that you're gonna be
in Greylock for a while,

with all of the mining... stuff.

And I guess I hoped
that we could talk,

you know, before we start...

running into each other
at the grocery store.

WOMAN:
D, is that housekeeping?
Could you grab me

another pil...
[chuckles]: Oh.

Sorry.

Hi.Um...

Piper, this is...
this is Corinne.

Uh, she's-she's...

an old friend
from high school.

Um, Corinne,
this is...

this is Piper,

my, um...

my fiancée.

Fiancée.

Wow.
[chuckles]

So nice to meet you.

Um...

You're obviously busy,

so we'll just...
we'll catch up another time.

[indistinct chatter]

You were right last night.

I can't be both your
friend and your leader.

So if I can't make you
feel better as your friend,

I'll make you feel
better as your leader.

What is this?

It's the deed to Bailey Pond.

It was a municipal plot,

but I had it converted
to private land this morning.

Your private land.

That deed means
you can rebuild

in a place that's full
of happy memories.

[grunts softly]

You feel...

you feel bad
for taking away my land,

and your solution
is to take away more land?

Hmm.

I don't want Bailey Pond.

It's part of what makes
Greylock special.

It belongs to all of us.

If it had been private land
when I met Patience,

we never would have
made those happy memories

you're talking about.

I'm sorry, Grover.
I was...Enough, Sarah!

I don't want to talk to you!

[door opens, bells jingle]

AJ:
Sarah.

We have a problem.

[indistinct radio transmission]

[sighs] New Hampshire
National Guard.

I spotted them during my patrol.

[indistinct chatter]

Are we being invaded?

I think they're more
interested in keeping us out.

They already blocked off two
other roads that lead south.

Make this quick. I have to be
in Clarksville in half an hour.

Hey. Hey, Governor.
What is this?

What's going on?

Securing our border.
Haven't you heard?

Greylock is no longer
part of the United States.

Thank you.

This is an international
boundary now.

And like any
international boundary,

it has to be protected.

We can't just have people
wandering in and out

of the United States.

So I'm afraid
that your border

with New Hampshire
must remain closed

until the American
government establishes

diplomatic relations
with Greylock.

And our allies in Quebec
feel the same way.

They're gonna shut down
your northern border.

No more quick trips
for a tank of gas,

for a gallon of milk.

No more airports.

No more hospitals.

No more help.

You want to be
a sovereign nation,

we'll treat you
like one.
