Breakout

JEN:

I found it.

Look at that.

I can see it.

JACK:
Jen, I know you

feel I've abandoned you.

I know you're ashamed.

You need to know

I believed in what I did.

And that I did it

because you awakened me.

The words and thoughts

of my beautiful little girl moved me.

Come on, Daddy.

Did it let my cause

become so important

that it took me away

from my family?

It did,

and for that I'll always be sorry.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

But I never stopped loving you.

Not for one second.

I paid a price for doing

what I believed was right.

And I know you and Mikey

and your mom are suffering too.

You've grown

into a beautiful young woman, Jen.

[LAUGHS]

I wanna make it better between us.

I wanna be the father I haven't been.

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

JEN:
Are we there yet?

JACK:
Yes, we are.

What happened, Daddy?

I don't know.

JEN:
You have to protect

the trees, Daddy.

JACK:

Come on.

[CHAINSAWS WHIRRING]

MAN:

All right, clear the area.

JACK:

Remember, we're not here to fight.

If you feel threatened, take the ground,

curl up, and cover your head.

Had the roads all

blocked there, Jack.

So how'd you and your

merry pranksters get in, huh?

We walked.

You look good in a suit.

You used to dress like them.

This is private property.

No, this is a conservation.

This is all replant.

That's very astute of you...

You cannot cut this down.

We own this land.

Understand?

JACK:
Fan out.

CHUCK:

Okay, fan out.

So you go back to whatever

mode of transport you were on.

Get your asses out of here.

Otherwise you are gonna

be arrested.

What? Jack-Come on.

What's the matter, Jack?

Got nothing better to do

with your time?

Here's what I suggest.

Help!

Take you and your granola friends

out of here.

WOMAN:

Help! Somebody!

Help!

Get away! Aah!

WOMAN:
Leave me alone!

Get your hands off her.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[WOMAN YELLING]

Get up!

OFFICER:
Hey, that's enough.

That's enough.

[THUNDER RUMBLING

THEN CRASHES]

[DOOR BUZZES]

[DOOR BUZZES]

GUARD:
You get to join the

work detail this week, Jack.

Someone made a hell of a mess

last night,

blocked a couple of roads

and totaled a car.

Crew is already out there,

you'll be joining them.

JACK:
Maria, can we push that

CBB interview back to Friday?

I'll have to call them.

JACK:
Well, call them.

[PHONE RINGS]

You got Jack.

WOMAN:
The deal went through.

Conpine got it?

Yeah, they got all of it

and you didn't hear it from me.

Conpine just took the whole

frigging reservation.

MARIA:
No referendum,

midnight conveyance?

JACK:

Can't do that. It's a protest tonight.

Conpine is no lightweight.

You know what happened in Seattle.

What's that got to do with me?

MARIA:
What I'm saying is I

don't want you to go in there.

JACK:
I'm not just gonna sit

here and let this go down.

I'm sorry, but I don't compromise.

You're putting your interests

ahead of your family.

No, I am not.

Yes, you are.

You think those children

wanna see their father in jail?

No one's going to jail.

Jack, I know Conpine

far better than you do, okay?

This smells like a setup.

Do not go in there.

Thank you, counselor.

[CHAINSAWS AND MACHINE

WHIRRING]

JACK:
I'm not gonna sit here

and just let this go down.

MARIA:
You think those kids

wanna see their father in jail?

I'm warning you.

Don't go in there, Jack.

KENNY:

Were they nice to you in jail?

Miss Lambrada was nice to me.

Does she know I'm gone?

I'm not supposed to go anywhere.

Did you tell her

you were taking me?

I sure did.

That's good, Tommy,

I sure hope they were nice to you.

Wanna know where we're headed?
