FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE: Good morning Rhett.

Good morning Rhett Murphy.

Friendly reminder that

you currently have

two strikes issued against

you as well as two warnings.

Please monitor and keep track

of these for your well being.

Please update calendar

for further scheduling.

The State Enforcement

Agency would like

to remind you that there

is a very important

live address from Ora Green

at 11 a.m. this morning.

Please tune in at

your convenience.

For further information

please a... (CLICKS OFF)

(SIGHS)

MAN:
(ON TABLET) off the charts.

What the S.E.A. is

offering is structure.

What the S.E.A. is

offering, more importantly,

is a hopeful future.

Yeah, but at what

cost, the taxpayers?

Do they see the amount of

money that's being spent?

Do they see the new

Liberty death drones

the S.E.A. is popping out?

It's not going to be

a matter of waking up

in the morning, looking

outside and saying,

geez what a beautiful day,

let's go out and enjoy it.

It's going to be a preserver

of the peace in your face

saying yes, it's going

to be a beautiful day.

Yes, you can enjoy it,

under these guidelines.

JOSHUA:
(ON TV)

I'm sorry but I have to disagree.

I think that people

like to create fantasies

out of situations like

this when you... (TURNS OFF)

(ELECTRONIC WHIRRING)

Um, excuse me.

Are you in the right spot?

Yeah, I think so.

Is Catherine not

coming in today?

Oh, uh.

Yeah, that.

I thought people knew already.

I...

on.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

Alright, wonderful

first impression.

(JET ROARING)

MAN:
(ON TV)

Okay, let's talk in broad strokes here.

Alright, this is a safe place.

This is for those

haters out there.

I think the penultimate

choice we have to make

(RATTLING)

as a body politic is to

be united as a whole.

I really don't

see any other way.

And that's the other thing,

these things take time.

I mean this isn't supposed

to happen overnight.

I feel like we have

people out there

losing faith in the system.

I mean when did it get

to this point, seriously?

I'm asking you, when did we make

the choice to stop

having patience?

Scratch that, patience, well,

it's not really the right word.

Belief, maybe?

Yeah, I don't know, but

I know that there was

a time when we would

take things day by day

(CLEARS THROAT)

knowing, that the outcome

would e worth the wait.

You just don't see that anymore.

Now, this is the point

where I'll get people

calling in bringing up

these reports, right?

I mean, I should

say alleged reports

of violence and

intimidation by the S.E.A..

This is non-essential

(GASPING) Who are you?

MAN:
(ON TV) Fear mongering by a group of

people that actively

right change.

(THUDDING)

There's absolutely no proof

to any of these claims.

I live in a condo

complex on the south end

and prior to this so-called

intrusion by the S.E.A.,

we had weekly, if not daily,

break-ins with several

of the residents.

(PILLS RATTLING)

Now if we cut to now,

we haven't had a single

disturbance in at

least two years

(METAL RATTLING)

maybe even three, I love It.

These preservers

of peace set out

to do exactly what

they're here for.

I find them quite

welcoming myself.

I mean, I take great

comfort in even

walking past them on

the way to the bus stop,

on the way to the station, on

the way to the store, never...

(DOOR OPENING)

(METAL CLANGING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Whoa, whoa.

(PANTING)

Are you okay?

Hey, hey, it's okay.

I know too much.

What?

I know everything.

(CRASHING AND THUDDING)

(GASPING)

(WOMAN YELLING)

WOMAN:
No!

(CRYING)

(GUN FIRES)

(SPLATTERING)

(PANTING)

(ELECTRONIC WHIRRING)

(PUNCHING)

I'm sorry if I came

off like an a**hole.

This Catherine, is she

a good friend of yours?

Sorry, I just assumed

that when someone

gets canned around

here it's like

in a monthly newsletter

or hanging off

a fridge magnet

and a bulk email.

I'm Pierce, office

simpleton. (LAUGHS)

I'm jean.

Nice to meet you, jean.

Want to grab a coffee?

We're standing inside

the governor's hall

following the extensive

council meeting

with members of

office and state.

Just moments ago, Ora

Green, the newly appointed

spokeswoman for the

S.E.A. had this to say.

What the state,

along with the S.E.A.,

has in force will ensure a

safer tomorrow for this country.

12 more months and approval from

the appropriate sources

an we will be able

to expand to another state,

then another and another.

Crimes rates in the

state are now 47% lower

than when we started

three years ago.

Now, imagine that on

a countrywide scale,

if not a global scale.

Please continue to support

the State Enforcement Agency

and know that your votes matter.

MAN:
(ON TV) With the Washington Monument

in the background, the President

has just arrived

off his helicopter,

he's coming from

Camp David to spend...

WOMAN:
Bring In Rhett Murphy, please.

(GRABBING)

(GRABBING)

So, are you a transfer?

Mmhmm.

So what do you think so far?

Cubicle's nice, it's

got that sh*t dull look

like all the other ones,

city's a bit bigger

than what I'm used

to, but I'll manage.

Uh, where you from, originally?

It's not even a speck

of dust on the map.

How about you, small

town or a city girl?

City.

Very nice.

Very nice.

I gotta say, holy sh*t.
