I'll tell you!

Let me go!

You tell me first

and I'll let you go.

Okay.

(Okay, okay)'-

The Sheriff... the Sheriff...

go to Chester's house

is the checkpoint, okay?

See? I tell you.

Now you let me go.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I ain't a part of this.

Someone's right.

The street rat came in

and then the Sheriff popped up

in the alley to talk to her,

and then she

snuck off to the bar.

She fed a lot of people.

She sneaked food out

to the back to women

and then they vanished.

I didn't think nothing

of it at first.

Hell, I didn't even know

that we owned this.

But she didn't know

that I could read lips.

Today, the Sheriff came by

and he told her

to get ready,

and that they'll meet

at the checkpoint.

So, what do we do?

I know someone...

he'll know what to do.

I checked out your story.

- I dug around.

- And?

I got to wait for the Sheriff.

He'll know what to do with this,

who to call.

This is state police,

military maybe.

What'd you find out?

You're right, okay?

I found something.

What? Well, what'd you

find out, Freddy?

You're out of here.

What'd you find out?

I found these behind

the dumpster.

This isn't a coincidence.

What's going on, fellas?

Oh, I'm just talking to Roy.

How's it going, buddy?

Hey, man. I got you...

one of your favorite sandwiches.

Sorry about having to

slip it through the bar.

Roast beef, no Swiss

cheese, pickle,

a little bit of mayo and a

cookie cola to wash it down.

Probably haven't had

one in a long time.

You don't wanna

eat that all, do you?

Take it easy there, big boy.

He eats in his own time.

You know, Roy...

it's a good thing folks

around here still like you.

I just spoke with Suzie and...

her and Kenny aren't

going to press charges.

Now, I gotta tell you something,

you're really around here.

Nowadays,

you're just scaring the

hell out of everyone.

All this talk about

townsfolk killing soldiers.

It's like yelling "fire"

in a crowded movie theater.

You just don't do that.

You don't put the people

in a panic frenzy.

I know.

What the hell's going on, son?

Sheriff, I think you...

You just hold on there, Freddy.

I'm trying to talk to Roy.

I wish I could say I

understand you Roy,

but I don't.

But I want to tell you this.

You need to get your

sh*t together, son,

and be able to stand

back up on your feet.

You're right.

I think I have just been tired.

I was wrong for my actions.

I need to clean up my act.

Roy'? Roy, what are you doing?

What do you mean

about that, Deputy?

You got something on your mind?

Sheriff, Roy was correct.

I checked into what he said.

Well, Roy just told me he was

fabricating a whole story,

now it happened?

Freddy, it's okay.

I just need rest.

Okay? I've been tired.

I'm tired.

He can handle this.

Well, somebody better

start talking plain here.

I found these.

My, my-

Lordy, lordy. I sure wish you

hadn't done that, Freddy.

What just happened?

Hey, put the gun down.

You go downstairs

and lock the door.

What just happened?

What just happened?

What just happened

is a sacrifice

in a cause that is long overdue.

What?

What are you talking about?

This was not my intention,

but it is a necessary evil

in the execution of

our great revolution.

Dude, you're not

making any sense.

Oh, I'm making more sense than

anybody has in a long time.

God...

It's time for America

to rise from the ashes.

Are you out of your mind?

Are you even...

The day has finally come when

justice shall be served,

and the new and greater America

will rise from the ashes.

Seriously,

are you out of your mind!?

No, I've never known

greater clarity.

And you served this country,

and so did I.

I have held good American boys

in my arms and watched them die,

and for what?

To serve the whims and the

financial interest of gutless,

greedy politicians.

Politicians who would

pick the pockets

of all good Americans,

while they fill their

own coffers with gold,

earned by the blood

of better men.

So are you telling me

you just killed Freddy,

and Grant, and the others,

because you're pissed

off at the government?

You are not listening

to me, Roy.

Deputy Parks had to die

because he could never

be a part of this cause.

And before this night is over,

many will perish.

Scores will fall,

friends and family

will be sacrificed for a

greater, noble cause.

So, you just killed

innocent soldiers

to prove a freaking point?

There are no innocents!

Military or civilian,

the day has finally come

for all good Americans

to take up a rifle

and fight for this cause

or die in its wake.

Blood will run

through the streets

and the valleys of this nation

so that this country

can be free again.

Listen to me Roy,

I want you to be a

part of us, Roy.

I want you to sit down

and I want you to

think about what I'm saying

to you, son.

They have done you wrong.

There's a greater goal

and there's a greater reason.

You're out of your mind.

TVNN is warning the

nature of this video

is intended for mature audiences

due to the horrific execution

of 12 American hostages

being tortured and

finally killed.

So tell me again what happened.

I would like you to be part

of our fight, brother.

You...

you were a Special

Forces lieutenant.

You took the oath.

You served this

country with honor

and distinction,

and what did they do for you?

Nothing.

On the day that you were

supposed to be discharged,

they told you what'? You don't

have a home to go back to.

It was all swept

away by a tornado,

and your pregnant wife,

and your children,

and even your parents

who happened to

be there visiting

on the day of the terrible

tragedy were all killed.

That callous and heartless

decision took a piece

of your soul away that

you will never get back.

You come and you be a

member of my family, Roy,

a family that will

take back this nation

from the filthy ideologues

that sit on both

sides of the table

and give it back

to we the people.

So you and Stacks

think you're going to go

up against this country?

Dude, you're insane.

- You're insane.

- We're not alone.

There are thousands

just like us,

trained and eager to

fight upon my word.

You know, it's a

little late to rewrite

the constitution.

Thomas Jefferson said

that when a government can

no longer serve its people,

then it is the duty of its

citizen to rise and revolt,

and that we shall so.

As we speak...

tonight the Great North

Carolina will deploy

and sail right into Washington

and lay siege upon the capital.

This is real.

Dang it.

We need to do something.

Let's go get ROY-

Oh, so you think you

can just, what,

steal an old battleship

and go unnoticed,

just sail up there like that?

You forgot what

country you live in.

Oh, what? Everyone

thinks I'm crazy

because I chose to

live off the grid?

Sir, you are bat sh*t crazy.

It's a new system,

a new government;

from the people, for the people.

We're going to be

heroes to the people.
