JED:
Let's stash our stuff.

- Leave it all here, okay?

- Good idea.

That's the mayor's car.

They got Daryl's dad's car.

- Look at the size of that tank.

- Jesus.

MATT:
(WHISPERING) Louis.

Louis, how you doing?

Was he scared of us?

Let's ask Alicia. She'll know.

Six toothbrushes, please.

- Oh, Jed.

- Hi. How's your sister?

- What? Where'd you come from?

- The mountains, we've been hiding...

Are you crazy? You gotta get out of here.

We will, but first

we gotta find out what's going...

You don't understand.

They know who all of you are.

They're looking for you.

- Who?

- The KGB.

- The Russians?

- And the Cubans.

The Cubans.

Look, have you seen my father?

I called, there was no answer.

I went by the station, it was empty...

Okay, listen.

I'm gonna tell you something

I'm not supposed to talk about.

Nobody is, but...

But what?

They took a lot of people away.

People that they thought

were gonna make trouble for them.

People that had guns or things

they wanted. They just took them away.

Where?

Re-education camps.

That's what they call it.

The drive-in. I heard they took

a lot of people to... Jed?

I pray for you.

MAN ON PA:
America is a whorehouse

where the revolutionary ideals

of your forefathers

are corrupted and sold in alleys

by vendors of capitalism

You grow fat

on the pledge of freedom fighters

(PROPAGANDA CONTINUES)

- Hey.

- Yeah?

Could you find my dad, Tom Eckert?

I'm Jed.

- Jed? Matt?

- Mr. Barnes?

Laddie, I'll go find your dad.

I know where he is.

You know Morris' Market?

The one on the highway.

Can you see if Mr. Morris is in there, too?

I'll look around for him, too.

(WOMAN SOBBING)

Daddy?

It's all right. I can stand up.

Boys.

Daddy.

Jed...

MATT:
Daddy...

Don't talk. Don't say anything.

Let me look at you.

Yeah, I knew I was right.

I knew it.

You're alive.

I was tough on both of you.

I did things that made you,

made you hate me sometimes.

You understand now, don't you?

What happened, Dad?

Why are you here? What'd they do?

Doesn't matter.

One way or another,

one reason or another, we're all gone.

It's all gone.

Remember...

Remember when you used to

go in the park and play?

And I used to put you on the swings,

and both of you were

so damn little that...

I remember. I remember all of it.

Well, I ain't gonna be around

to pick you up when you fall now.

Both of you got to

take care of each other now.

We'll never see you again, Dad.

Yes, you will.

I don't want to hear that, Mattie.

What happened to Mom? Where is she?

We can't afford to be crying anymore now.

I don't want either of you

to ever cry for me again.

Don't ever do it.

Not as long as you live.
