just a troublemaker.
Fear, it's what they want.
Don't be afraid.
Oh, my God.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Mr. Murphy, I'm
Special Officer Jacobs
with the State
Enforcement Agency.
Two strikes have been
issued under your name,
all of which are for
unpaid bills and six months
delinquency on rent
payment on your domicile.
You also have three other
warnings against you.
Two for fights that occurred
in the last three months
and one for assaulting
a preserver of peace.
you had a pretty
exemplary record.
You had also spent
four terms of service
honorably discharged.
I also spent a year there
when I finished school.
What unit did you serve with?
Okay, well, in your
time out of country
you missed your state submission
by the State Enforcement Agency.
Anybody deemed unfit
or insufficient
by the S.E.A. will be removed to
for re-education.
But because of your
military history
and because I have a soft
spot for people in service,
the S.E.A. is willing to forgive
following provisions.
I just tried to
save someone's life.
Is that a crime now?
Because what it looked like
to me was public execution.
You'll be asked
to see an S.E.A.
ordered psychiatrist
based on your condition.
In the event...
I'm leaving.
Leaving where, exactly?
Leaving the state.
You'll be removed from
your current residence
following an insurance
investigation.
A preserver of peace
agent will be there in
about an hour to help
you with the transition.
Failure to agree to these terms
will result in another warning.
you need to change, too.
I sympathize...
I don't give a sh*t if
you sympathize or not.
I know what I saw and my answer
is still the same, I'm leaving.
Mr. Murphy, nobody leaves
the state, not anymore.
for your contribution.
That'll be all.
(KEYS CLICKING)
I need you to make a house call.
20 minutes in Fairwood Estates.
Where's David?
Not available, and
listen you cannot pull
a stunt like that in
the cafeteria again.
I'm sorry, but I
wasn't doing anything.
I don't care, you get one
warning here and you are gone.
What the hell do you think
happened to Catherine, hmm?
Something very
questionable is going here.
They are moving employees
faster than I can keep track
and I have zero protection
from HR this term.
Nose to the grindstone.
That's all.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
(WATER DRIPPING)
(KNOCKING)
(CRYING)
I saw the photo in the file.
I didn't think it was you.
Look at you, look at you.
(SLAPPING)
You're leaving.
Where are you going?
Rhett Murphy.
Is that you?
How long have you been back?
Six months.
Six months? (SIGHS)
I don't, I don't get
what this is about.
I don't have a lot
of time and, uh...
What?
And you can't be
here, you have to go.
No.
Jean, please.
No!
I'm not going.
You do not get the privilege
of pushing me out o your life,
if that's what you
think you're doing.
You know they had to
pull me from your room,
practically kicking
and screaming.
We thought you died.
What did they say happened?
When?
What did they
say happened to me?
Somebody said something
about an accident but,
other than that,
there was no word, nothing.
Don't you remember?
Shaun.
Talk to me, please.
What happened to you?
(PRESERVER OF PEACE)
Rhett Murphy?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
It's time.
Time for what?
Collect your belongings and
meet us outside for transfer.
Not without an official
insurance check on the premises.
I haven't completed that yet.
Overruled.
By who?
The State Enforcement Agency,
Mr. Murphy is now
under our care.
Five minutes, starting now.
No, no, no, no this is bullshit!
You can't just pull
him out like that.
He'll be processed for
re-evaluation, we're done here.
What's going on?
Shaun!
I refused the offer.
I'm leaving the state.
I'm just going to
pack my things and go.
That is a failure to comply with
the guidelines of the S.E.A.
Mr. Murphy, you are now
under restrictive law
to come with us.
Failure to do so will
result in another warning.
One more warning will equal
a status as defective.
What the hell
does that even mean?
You have 10 seconds.
You have no right to
pull this right now.
Step away!
Ten.
Nine.
Just go with them
I'll figure it out.
Eight.
Let me go.
Seven.
Six.
Get out of here, jean.
No.
Five.
Four.
(THUDDING)
Step away.
Three.
Two.
Please, just let me go.
One.
Immediate designation defective,
punishment effective
immediately.
(SMASHING)
(PANTING)
Oh, God, what did I do?
They were going to kill you.
Why were they going to kill you?
F***!
Hey.
Don't!
This is all because
of you, this isn't me!
Why didn't you leave?
Because you're my brother.
I gotta get you out of here.
And go where?
(GRABBING)
You have no idea
what you have done.
You will not get away with this.
We are watching.
(MECHANICAL BUZZING)
(BOTH GASPING)
(LAUGHTER ON TV)
MAN:
(ON TV) Here's a new one and it's hot.Shake well before serving.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Shh.
MAN:

Stairs.

Miss Green?
Miss Green?
I'm sorry, can you
repeat that last part?
I have to be protected.
My company's interests
have to be protected.
Closing the borders
is like trying
to put a rattlesnake
into a coffee can.
This was all discussed
You knew it was part of
this phase of the operation.
It's effective, this is working.
Everything that we're
doing is working.
This is an efficient,
perfectly oiled machine
and it's a machine you're
willingly trying to f*** over.
Do not undermine me
or go over my head.
I will destroy you.
Do not put yourself
in that place
because I will enjoy doing it.
Well, I've dealt with
unmanageable people like yourself.
As for you, Miss Green,
I don't mind saying,
you can be a real
irritable c*nt.
I've been called
worse, thank you.
Look, I know you
have a full evening,
but this is high priority.
He trusts you for the
recent news about today's
classic bungle, Rhett
Murphy, jean Harlan.
Of course, but before you ask
I am preparing statements
and diversion tactics.
Who do we have in
the field for this?
We have you.
I'm too tired for
practical jokes.
And I am too tired to joke.
Now you'll be receiving new
information within the hour.
These two are officially
fugitives of the state.
immediately for
final assessment.
You'll have as many preservers
of the peace as you need
at your disposal.
