The Spearhead Effect Page #6

quite like mice, right?

- Well, he is in on it.

- Of course.

Look, I am telling you okay,

you're being played, okay?

No sh*t.

[panting] Sorry. Look,

you got to believe me, okay.

Believe in what?

You got no names,

no witnesses,

no probable cause,

no crime scene,

and no missing persons reports

filed on any of your

supposed victims.

And for that matter, no reason for

me to believe this is anything

but another sting operation for

your little documentary project.

It's not, I swear

to God, okay?

Don't come back again.

Don't call.

Any phone call traced

back to your number,

will be considered

a prank call.

And will be prosecuted

accordingly.

These guys are after me.

Let me tell you something.

If they are real,

and they are out to get you,

I hope I do find them.

I'll shake their

f***ing hands.

[instrumental music playing]

[woman] Oh, my God!

[phone ringing]

[Mr. Stetson] Jake, I've

been trying to call you.

It's one thing to not

see a person for over a year...

- Dad, look I'm...

- You can't just

go silent on me

with everything that's...

I know, Dad,

I'm sorry, okay?

You can't keep annoying the

people who really care.

Jake, you understand?

You know...

Just listen.

Dad, listen.

I'm listening.

Look, I'm ready

to come home.

You are?

Yeah.

Oh, Jake, that's great.

That's great.

There is something

I need to do first.

The same.

You okay once I left?

Yeah, I still have all my

teeth, if that's what you mean.

Look, we have

to act now, okay?

We have an opportunity.

Any names.

Any... Whatever information

you give me, okay?

I can't give you any information

'cause I don't know anything.

Look, I have a platform.

I have a voice.

I can fix this.

You think you can just retract

everything what you've said,

just log in to your webcam,

and say, "Oops I didn't

realize what a slippery slope

it all was," and everything

will just go back to normal?

I mean even if that

would work,

I don't know anybody's name.

I don't know where

anybody lives.

Evan insisted that we all use

burner phones to stay in contact.

He know everybody, but...

he wanted us to all

to stay anonymous,

so we wouldn't get cold feet

and run to the cops.

I talked to them.

The police.

Hey, relax.

Relax, okay?

I kept you out of it.

I took him to the house.

There was someone

living there

and the garage

was filled with stuff,

it was completely changed.

Yeah, they wouldn't

risk going back.

Besides,

Evan talked about

finding some place new.

Some place where they

could do something bigger.

- More extreme.

- More extreme?

You guys are already

out of control.

This isn't what I meant

to happen.

Hey, you didn't publish

a hand book

when you posted all those

videos, all right?

No, it's like starting

a forest fire

and trying to control

where it goes.

How'd you let it

get this far?

This isn't like you, man.

Started with just

a couple of guys

kicking some ideas around.

Some people saw your videos

and they agreed.

And whenthe first Pioneer

group started showing up,

it just made sense.

I just...

don't think anybody

realizes

how it's noble over time.

Haven't you ever felt that?

I mean you're

so caught up in the ride,

that everything up

the window is just...

seems like a blur.

After...

After it happened...

I just drew blame everywhere.

I didn't know

what else to do.

Instead of solving any of my

own problems I was just...

wallowing in misery

for five years.

Fighting for somebody

who isn't here anymore.

It's not a solution.

An obsession.

It's a lovely sentiment.

Can I get you

another drink?

Come on, you thirsty?

I'll take that as a yes.

F*** you, Evan.

Drink.

I said, drink.

[grunts]

F***.

Grab his phone too.

Do I have to ask again?

[panting]

Don't you have somewhere

to be or something?

Yeah, I do.

Actually, we all do.

So, you better finish

these drinks.

You know, it's a shame.

I overestimated you.

Some people just are better

behind a computer screen.

You took it too far.

That's the only way

to get people to notice.

You should know that by now.

I can't. I...

- Hmm?

- I can't.

[coughs]

Come on, I know you got a weak stomach,

but at least finish your damn drink.

You two get to be a part

of something special tonight.

We're taking things

in a new direction.

Finish your drink.

Come on, Daniel,

stay with me.

One more.

To the digital age.

[laughs]

F***.

[glass shatters]

[panting]

[thuds]

[Evan] Come on, we're

gonna be late, let's go.

Let's go. Forget him, come on.

Come on.

[coughs]

[panting]

[Evan] The men before

us, are pedophiles.

Rapists. Traitors.

Men who, if left

to the justice system

to detect and arrest,

would still be free

to continue their activities,

until or if, they

would even stop.

Now, we can't erase the past,

but we can change

the outcome of the future.

We don't do this

because we enjoy it,

we do this, because when the

system needs adjusting,

when the system favors

structure over effectiveness,

someone needs to create

a better way.

And if no one else is willing

to step up to the plate,

we will rise to our duty.

Now,

I'd like to take

a moment

to address those who

may question our methods,

call them violent, dramatic,

I ask you this,

why did the Sons of Liberty

board British ships

and throw their tea

into the ocean?

Why not destroy the ship

entirely?

Because they wanted to catch

people's attention.

They wanted to show

the world just how outdated

the system they'd accepted,

the system, they'd trusted

had become.

All in the name of freedom

and of revolution.

Now, here tonight,

we'll let our new friends,

here wait in the wings.

We'll let them ponder

and reflect

on what brought them here.

We'll give our old friends

one final chance at redemption.

I trust they've learned a lot

in these past few days

of our company.

I guess we'll

find out, won't we?

All right.

What do you think, gentlemen?

[indistinct chatter]

[Jake clears throat] Hey.

How's it going?

I'll watch him.

[clears throat]

[man] This is us, man.

[Jake] Now, get up there.

Go watch the show.

- I got this.

- [man] All right.

[clears throat]

- Please don't touch.

- It's me.

What the hell

are you doing here?

Getting you out of here.

What, do you got,

hacks on your coat?

[man grunting]

- Keys.

- What?

Key. T-t-the key ring.

Who has the key ring?

Who has the keys?

There's 20 guys out there.

All right.

- I'll go get help, okay?

- No.

No, no, no, no, you can't.

I'm next.

You can't leave

me here, please.

Don't leave me.

[panting] Okay.

I can fix this.

Okay?

I can fix this.

I'll fix this.

[Evan] ...punishment,

do you really just feel we'll

let you walk out of here today?

Lesson learned.

You two will have the chance to plead

privately to my associates here.

If you both admit to your

mistakes and plead guilty,

you'll each receive

fifty milliamps of shock,

which I believe

is a paltry punishment...
