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.

It would appear that

up until six months ago

you had a pretty

exemplary record.

You had also spent

four terms of service

in Ukraine before being

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

a state prison facility

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

this incident under the

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.

The state has changed and

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.

The state thanks you

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?

They were going to arrest me.

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:
(ON TV) It's morning alright,

hey, hey, hey,

steady, steady man.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Stairs.

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Run.

Move, go!

(BOTH PANTING)

Don't look back, run!

Keep moving!

60. Go!

Faster!

(GUN FIRES)

(THUDDING)

(GUN FIRES)

(PUNCHING)

(GUN FIRES)

(GUN FIRING)

(GROANING)

(SPLATTERING)

(MOANING)

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

and planned five years ago.

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.

Track, catch and report to me

immediately for

final assessment.

You'll have as many preservers

of the peace as you need

at your disposal.

I hardly think that...
