It's a free country.

Free country, huh?

If it's a free country,

let me see you take that horn...

...and go on the other side

of that fence and play.

Get out of here.

- What is that over there?

- It's nothing for you.

Go play someplace else.

What do you got back there, old man?

You making something

with those peaches?

Is that booze?

All residents must be in their barracks.

All residents must remain

in their barracks.

No one is allowed out of the barracks.

Block 41, Barracks 11.

Name:
Nomura, Lyle.

Area around this barracks,

then perimeter search.

We don't find him,

we'll do barracks-to-barracks.

We found him

out near the northeast firebreaks.

He's drunk.

He was lying on the ground.

Smart-ass said he got lost.

Smells sweet.

You make some kind of home-brew?

You make the booze,

or did somebody bring it in?

Did you make it,

or did somebody bring it into the camp?

Where--? Son of a b*tch!

Who called lockdown?

Prisoner was missing.

He wasn't in his barracks.

You are not authorized to call lockdown.

- I'm putting him in the stockade.

- He's my son.

Everybody, listen.

We have to do what we can

to make a new home...

...each one of us.

My father has spoken

to Director Watson...

...and he said we're allowed

to make improvements on our barracks.

Too many of us have gotten sick.

We can patch the holes...

...make curtains, do whatever we can

to stop the wind and dust from coming in.

There are over 8000 of us here.

We have the skills we can use.

Now, the government won't help...

...but they will allow us

to use mail-order catalogs...

...and to go outside

into town for supplies.

We have to pay our own way,

but if everyone contributes...

...then like my father said:

"Out of necessity,

we can make a new home for ourselves."

Says here she's a pretty nice sort of person

when she lets her hair down.

Did you know Rita Hayworth

was actually a Mexican?

Hey, Billy.

Ed.

Camp okayed the Japs to come in,

order some supplies directly.

Hi, I'm Kaz.

- My son Lane.

- Hi.

Do you have in stock?

"Fertilizer, watermelon seeds,

strawberry plants."

What's this?

- Ginger something?

- That's gingham.

- The material?

- Yeah, my mom wants it to make curtains.

How you gonna pay for all this?

Cash.

Now we're giving

these people cash too?

Sure, bring them here.

We'll take care of them, we'll feed them.

We'll house them, and you know what?

While we're at it...

...why don't we give them some extra cash,

just to go along with it?

No one is giving us money.

We were afraid banks

would take our savings...

...so we brought money here.

- Bullshit.

- Leave them alone, Ed.
