- Hell, no, we don't.

- We never drank that sh*t.

That can't be safe!

Okay, you guys ready?

How you feeling?

I don't know.

It's all right, man. I feel the same way.

Look, I know we're outnumbered

and we're out-gunned.

But that doesn't mean

we can't make a difference.

So it's up to us to let people know

that there is a fight on.

A fight that we need them to join.

Most of those soldiers down there,

they don't want to be here.

So we have to make it too hard,

and too difficult and too bloody

for them to stay.

When I was overseas,

we were the good guys. We enforced order.

Now we're the bad guys

and we create chaos.

We are creating a better world

where you and your family

can be taken care of.

We are here to serve the people.

Come on! Come on!

Move! Let's go!

Come on, let's go.

That's Captain Cho.

Let's go.

Okay, 15 seconds.

Who are they?

Collaborators.

Had to happen.

Okay, here we go. Look alive.

Hey!

Hey, Pete!

The Wolverines!

It's the Wolverines...

Dude.

Dude!

Nobody move!

Sandwich artist! Fill this sh*t with bread!

- What kind?

- I don't care! Just no flat bread.

- Wheat! Honey oat!

- Tuna! Turkey!

Sh*t!

Did they see us?

I don't know. Just get the food.

Go! Get the food!

Good afternoon, patriots.

This is Radio Free America.

Broadcasting live

to the occupied zone.

Oh, my God, that was good.

I missed this.

You know what else I miss?

Pizza.

Toilets that flush.

Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare.

Dude, we're living Call of Duty.

And it sucks.

You guys are amateurs, man.

I miss girls.

No, not like you.

I mean like hot, sexy,

voluptuous girls.

Nice.

Girls without AKs.

Who needs AKs?

Matt.

Come on, bro, what do you miss?

Your livelihood is our utmost concern.

We are creating a better world

where you and your family...

You have been

tainted by American culture.

With the right leadership,

we can make this country...

You have been living in a disguised land

of righteousness.

You live in a world that segregates you

into classes.

We are here to help.

For two-and-a-quarter centuries,

you have been living in a realm of slavery.

Whatever I say is just

going to piss you off.

So why don't we just forget it?

Forget what?

That you've been putting

everyone here at risk?

Erica's still out there, Jed.

And what happens when you get caught?

Because if it were me,

you wouldn't keep looking, right?

Not if it meant putting everyone else's ass

on the line.

- I'm not you, Jed.

- No, you're not.

The team has got to come first.

Get that through your head.

Erica's my family, Jed.

She's more family than you are.

Yeah?

You're going to get us all killed.

That's how you get Cho.

The rally is at

So, decoy, like before.

A little car bomb goes off here.

The crowd clears, security rushes in,

and that is when Mr. Big-Ass Mother-F

bomb under the stage

is going to blow that bastard

to kingdom come.

We are not your enemies.

Because you, too, are victims.

Victims of an American culture

in which greed, irresponsibility

and fraud were openly encouraged.

Victims of a corrupt government

in bed with the tyrants of Wall Street.

It is our sincerest belief

that with the right leadership

and with your support,

this country will rise again, better,

morally superior to what was here before.

But we need your help.

We have teams of engineers

ready to restore power and utilities.

But we cannot provide these things

until the situation stabilizes.

We must all arouse

the political consciousness of the people.

Son of a b*tch!

What?

The guy sitting behind Cho, he's Russian.

Are you serious?

The blue beret means he's Spetsnaz.

Russian Special Forces.

What's his specialty?

Counter-insurgency, for starters.

Are they here because of us?

Well, if they are, they're a little late.

You got to get out of here.

Some sh*t is about to happen.

So the collective states can rise again

and stand united again.

We are here to facilitate

this important objective...

Ninety seconds.

... while a new social and economic

initiative is implemented.

Now, regular curfews

will commence tonight.

They're designed

to preserve the social order.

Daryl.

You okay?

Yeah.

But full compliance is mandatory.

No exceptions.

The regulatory board

has suspended all visiting hours

at the United Workers 'Reform.

And so, it is with your well-being in mind

that we ask for your cooperation

in bringing these cowardly

Wolverine terrorists to justice.

Blow it.

- It's not time yet.

- Blow it now!

Hold your fire. Do not engage.

Sh*t.

Ambush!

Daryl, come on!

Matt!

Erica!

Let's go! Let's go!

I can't!

Oh, no.

Where's the key? Where's the key, baby?

Where's the key?

- Matt!

- We gotta fall back!

Greg, come on!

- Hey, let's go!

- Greg!

- No! No!

- He's gone. We got to go now!

Let's go!

Sh*t! Stay down!

Stay down!

- Go, go, go!

- Go!

Go, go, go!

Here!

Are you all right? Are you all right?

Sh*t! We got to go, baby! We got to go!

We got to go!

Oh, sh*t. Get going!

Come on!

Get in here! Get in here!

Take what you need.

- Thank you.

- Be safe.

Don't worry.

Stay calm, we're almost home.

Danny, bring me the scissors.

I need more light.

Toni, I'm going to need some ice.

Can you bring some from outside?

Oh, my God. Erica!

- Hey.

- I wouldn't go in there right now.

- Why?

- Julie's freaking out.

What does that mean?

When you decided to run off

and do your own thing,

Greg was killed trying to help you.

It was a few days ago.

These Russian soldiers

came to the stadium.

They kept asking me who you guys knew

and who might be helping you.

And they even had a list of names.

Jed, all our contacts in town, man.

We can't...

Look, we are not a rescue unit.

We can't save everyone.

Wait. So we're not going to do anything?

I didn't say that, did I?

You are guilty

of giving aid to the terrorist Wolverines.

Sh*t.

Wolverines! Wolverines!

Wolverines!

Wolverines!

Matt's been gone for days.

I'm worried about him.

Yeah, I know.

What are you doing here, Matty?

Topping everything off.

Making sure the ammo's dry.

That's great. That's where we need you.

Off on your own, doing your own thing.

- We really gonna do this now, Jed?

- Yeah, we are.

I couldn't just leave her there.

- You left your post.

- What the hell else was I supposed to do?

I need to know I can count on you.

Well, maybe you can't.

What did you expect?

You think you're the first to feel this?

To see one of your friends get killed?

This is war.

So rub some dirt on it

and get your ass back in the fight.

Spare me, Jed.

I left for three days.

When Mom died, you left for six years.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah, Matty, you're right.

I messed up. I left you

right when you needed me the most.

And I'm sorry.

I need you to be stronger than I was.

- Mom and Dad are both gone.

- Shut up, Jed.

It's just us.

And more than anyone else in the group,

if I don't have you...

Okay. Do what you want.

To the resistance fighters in Humboldt.
