A Dark Truth
Yeah
what do you want me to say, Bruce?
He broke into our offices
this morning,
Accessed our files,
our computers.
Do we know what?
well, we
could assume everything.
Well, this is
a major liability.
You're telling me.
Renaldo, now!
- Okay okay.
- Vamos, vamos. Let's go.
Okay.
- Does the army know who he is?
Oh yeah.
Francisco Francis.
Come on, Renaldo.
Come on.
Just keep walking
to the car, okay?
- Just walk to the car.
Renaldo!
- Mama! Mama!
No, Renaldo!
Renaldo!
Mama! Mama!
No no no!
No no.
She's dead, Renaldo.
Come on, come on, come on.
- Vamos vamos.
- No. No. No!
No! Mama! No!
- Mama.
- Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on,
get inside. Come on.
Let me out!
No! No.
No. No!
I don't care what general
I want you to put him
on the phone now!
Let me out right now!
Let me out!
It's tony green
from Clearbec!
Let me out of this car!
Por favor! Por favor!
Ah!
Jesus Christ.
Did you ever hear about
the great transformation?
Yeah, I
think. What was that again?
years ago in England...
- Uh-Huh. - ...With the
turning of public lands
Into private property.
And it changed
the way we think,
The way we view time
and land and water
- And even people. It turned them
into units... -
...Commodities
to be bought and sold,
Yeah,
but what is bought and sold is constant.
- You know what, Sarah?
That is absolutely incorrect.
Society needs to approve
Of the things to be turned
into commodities
Before they can
be bought or sold.
People can be bought or sold,
correct? That did happen.
As horrific and diabolical as
that may sound, it's a fact.
Yeah, and still slavery
happens in some countries today.
Regrettably true.
But why is it
that in western society,
- We no longer buy or sell people?
Because it's immoral
And it's wrong in all aspects.
Well, is it wrong to sell water?
What about air?
Would it be wrong to sell air?
Air. Come on, man.
You can't sell air.
- No?
- Well, what if you can't afford it, hmm?
There's lots of people all around the
world that can't afford much water.
- And what happens?
- I don't know.
They die. Is it
so far-Fetched, Sarah?
You can sell water,
but you can't sell air?
Think about it.
I'll take the next caller.
Hello, this is Jack Begosian.
You're on the air.
The name's Charlie.
- Hello, Charlie. Good morning.
Morning.
I want to know when we're
- Gonna talk about the real truth.
- What truth is that, Charlie?
About the aliens
taking over the white house.
the white house?
You know
you know it, jack.
You mean
illegal aliens, Charlie?
No, you're making light.
Extraterrestrial beings
are a real threat
- To our way of life, jack.
- only if you exchange
Bodily fluids
with them, Charlie.
I'm not. Are you?
- no.
- Then we're doing our part.
Thanks for calling.
Last call.
Hi, this is Jack Begosian.
You're on the air.
Hey, man. It's van from Oakland.
Hello, van from Oakland,
California.
- Thanks for the call.
- Question, jack.
- Yes?
- Why did you quit?
Why did I quit what?
The agency, dude.
Everybody knows.
- Why did I quit?
- Yeah.
Well, van, uh,
When you can't
affect change from within...
I mean,
positive change...
You have an obligation,
if you're at all conscious,
To get out
and try other things.
- That's what I'm doing.
- Other things?
- You mean ways to affect change?
- Yes.
the truth, man, but they don't.
They want sound bites,
celebrity gossip,
