Since that day,

I said I refuse to talk to you.

I refuse to take your orders.

We're no longer

father and son anymore.

I'm sorry, it brings a lot...

of emotion just thinking

about it back then.

I'm not gonna cry.

Did you guys ever

talk about going outside?

- By ourselves?

- Yeah.

Like, did you know

Mukunda was gonna do that?

- No.

- Did anybody know?

No, nobody knew that.

Maybe he mentioned it, but...

We weren't... like,

we didn't think he was serious.

'Cause we all used to

say a lot of things

But we never did anything.

We always saw a bad thing coming,

like, it's not gonna end up well.

The thing is we couldn't

do anything about it.

The only thing

we could do about it

was just... get through it...

and... not break.

I think like most people

would go insane

after experiencing

a life like that,

whereas all of us didn't...

I think it's... it's because

of our mom.

She always... kept our sanity.

I love her

and she loves me

He put himself

in a position

where he was gonna have to

to do ten years in prison.

That's what he did.

Krsna shaved his eyebrows.

It's probably why he doesn't

want to show himself.

Oh, he's right here.

You shaved your eyebrows.

Yeah.

So that's new, eyebrows,

I got a bad hand.

I got a bad hand.

- How you doing?

- I'm doing good.

Yeah?

Yeah, I was just telling

Crystal how much we fight.

They gave me a therapist

after I got out of the hospital.

They said I should see a therapist.

She's helped me out

getting my email address

'cause I knew nothing

about computers.

So she's been kind of a help.

She has.

My brothers are also seeing her.

It sucks.

I don't really talk

about my feelings.

I don't... she doesn't...

She has no idea

of the kind of person I am.

I'm like, "yeah, yeah, yeah,

whatever you tell me, you know."

Our family union

has a problem with now

is that they want us

to go to a real school.

Over my dead body they will.

They ain't gonna

make me go to a real school.

My mother would be out of a job.

She would have to then

work in the streets,

work out there.

I'm not letting my mother

work out there.

New York, no, no,

not in New York.

She's more together here.

She gets paid.

We get paid every month

because she's homeschooling,

so it's like she has a job.

She's approved, of course,

to be a teacher.

She has like the license

and everything.

They approved her,

house of education.

So that family union

can't do crap or anything.

You're an FBI agent.

What is your specialty again?

- Chemical weapons.

- Don't mention that.

You're going all

the way from Tibet to Mongolia,

says it'll cut five hours

out of the trip

for everybody that's going there.

What I really wanted

and what I really saw...

I really thought that when

I was raising my children

that they would be growing up

in a place with,

you know, green fields and...

But they didn't have that.

And you know, I feel...

because I had that,

and I wanted that for them.

You know, and to be able

to go out and roam the forest,

that was important to me and, um,

you know, just to go out

and play in a field

or have someplace,

some fields that were close,

or, you know,

how you see in movies.

You know, kids go running

through the neighbor's meadow

you know,

to get to their... the forest

that they built some tree house

in or something like that...

Something like that.

I'd always thought I wanted

that for them.

But it didn't happen.

My brother did it again,

just walked out,

and then suddenly I went out,

and my father didn't get angry,

and then all of us started doing it.

We decided to go

as a group together alone

for the first time.

That whole process

of them getting

into their own happened gradually.

It's not like it was one day

they followed the rules

and the next day they were

doing whatever.

It wasn't like that.

It happened over

a period of months,

but it certainly opened

the way to normalcy.

I'll be right back.

Well, what did he expect

when all of us become of age,

we're still gonna do things his way?

His system was just

like a ticking bomb.

I really understand, totally,

you know,

where they're coming from.

But I can't, you know,

be too candid about that.

But, yeah, there were

probably more rules for me

than there were for them.

Yeah, I know.

- Look at that.

- Whoa!

That fucks with your eyes.

This is like 3D, man.

Look at that.

Look at those freaky trees.

- Think about all the leaves.

- Those are big f***ing trees.

They look like... I feel like

I'm in like the Fangorn Forest

in The Lord of the Rings.

Oh, it's very fresh out here.

- You want to go for a swim?

- No.

No, what swim all the way

to f***in' Brooklyn?

You must be Jules,

which would make you Vincent.

I think fast, I talk fast

And I need you guys

to act fast if you want

to get out of this.

So pretty please,

with sugar on top,

clean the f***ing car.

Don't be looking at me

like that, all right?

I can feel your look.

Oh, man, I will never forgive

your ass for this sh*t!

This is some f***ed up

repugnant sh*t.

Jules, did you ever hear

of the philosophy that

once a man admits he is wrong,

he's forgiven for all his wrongdoings?

You ever hear that?

Get the f*** out of my face

with that sh*t!

Motherf***er who said that sh*t,

never had to pick up

80 pieces of brain

on account of your dumb ass.

I got a threshold, Jules.

I got a threshold for the abuse

that I will take.

- I could blow.

- Oh, you're ready to blow?

Yeah, I'm ready to blow.

Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-

laying motherf***er, motherf***er!

Every time my fingers

touch brain, I'm super fly TNT.

It's motherfuckin' cold, man!

Come on, get it out.

Come on, do it.

Turn around.

- Did he fix this?

- No.

It's broken.

Yeah, I know that's totally busted.

I don't feel safe now

knowing that the door's open

and there's no lock.

Today, we had a little surprise.

Out of nowhere,

I just heard banging on the door.

And I saw a kind of...

At least I heard,

it sounded like a saw...

- Drilling.

- Drilling, yeah.

And by this doorway,

I see what I usually see

in the movies... swat teams,

people with helmets and shields,

machine guns just blast in.

Told everybody to get on the floor

or get their hands up,

put us against the wall,

and handcuffed every member

of our family.

They had a search warrant for...

possession of weapons.

A gun they were looking for.

They said a 38.

Basically, it was like Inside Man.

All... the only kind of weapons

they found were props.

They take out all our machine guns,

all our handguns, knives,

and it was all fake.

They basically found out

the kind of things we were into.

And they complimented us

and they said like,

"We're sorry about the break-in."

We had to see our mother

get handcuffed...

and put against the wall...

and she was really uncomfortable

sitting in those handcuffs.

That's what really pissed me off.

They've begun communicating
