he's gone, Please see it's

0:41

gone. M

0:46

m oh.

0:52

I don't look back.

0:55

I just ran. M

0:59

h. I. I know this

1:02

is the right side of the river, but I

1:06

don't recognize this place. I

1:08

don't think we've ever been here before. Arrow,

1:14

we might really be lost this time. When

1:21

did they get so cold?

1:23

Boy?

1:30

But we can't stay here. We're

1:32

all freeze to death a

1:38

road. But to where

1:43

where's that light coming from?

1:46

It's so right Arrow.

1:56

We must have walked in a circle because

1:58

that's the river again, which means,

2:01

who the fuck are you? Silence,

2:05

what are you doing out here? I

2:08

was we were running,

2:11

running, running from

2:13

the river. I mean, there's

2:16

something in the river. I'm

2:19

trying to get home. But I

2:22

think we might be lost. I

2:24

think, so where's

2:28

home? Then, Bradbury,

2:32

Bradberry, Well you're a

2:34

pretty long way off. Take

2:37

these follow

2:39

me. Whatever

2:44

you were doing in the river, you're soaked

2:46

through. Boy, you need a fire.

2:49

We've got kindling down here, but the fuel

2:51

is down below, and I don't have

2:53

time to wait. Corn

2:58

Arrol h Yah, where

3:05

are we? Just walk towards the light.

3:10

That's your fire? It is, it's

3:13

so right? Who's

3:17

that? Those are? My people?

3:21

Sorry, lot that they are. It's

3:25

a whole city out here. You

3:28

sound surprised, evening,

3:32

father, not tonight. I

3:35

know where we are, do you now?

3:38

I've heard of this place, the camp

3:40

on the outskirts, the shanty town,

3:43

or Coverville if

3:45

you like, though I can't say I

3:47

care for the latter. My mom told

3:49

me about it, and why would she do

3:51

that? So I would

3:54

stay away? Sage advice?

3:57

This is hardly a place to visit, especially

4:00

for outsiders. I'm sorry.

4:02

I didn't mean to save your apologies.

4:05

That's the last thing anyone here needs. Just

4:08

stay near me. Hello,

4:10

father, you're looking well. You look

4:12

like you could be working. I just thought

4:15

and you thought wrong. You

4:19

all live out here, if you can call

4:21

it living. Did the bank

4:23

take your house? You sure

4:25

ask a lot of questions, don't you. Some

4:28

of them yes, lost out to the powers

4:30

that be. But financial problems

4:33

are hardly a sin, Father, bank

4:35

forgiveness. But might I have a minute of your tonight?

4:38

You will know when your time has come back

4:40

to work all of you. Thank

4:43

you, Father, Thank you? Are

4:50

you the priest me

4:53

hardly? And I don't think you'll

4:56

find any minute the cloth around here.

4:59

These are God's forgotten people after

5:01

all. Let's just say

5:03

the title is honorary.

5:07

Alright. What you got in your arms, son, just

5:10

throw it on in. I've

5:14

never seen a fire so big, isn't

5:17

it magnificent? These

5:20

people may not have much, but what they

5:22

do have can be awful, useful.

5:26

M hmm, it's so warm

5:29

I feel dry already.

5:33

Thank you? Really, we

5:36

have to beginning on. You wanted to know where all these people

5:38

come from. Didn't you to hear

5:40

their stories? No? Who's

5:43

that Andy?

5:45

Andy? Get over here? Lift

5:50

your shirt. That's

5:53

quite a scar, isn't it. Oh

5:55

my god? Shot

5:57

right through the chest. You know

5:59

where the rude river is? Boy?

6:02

I don't think so well. You

6:04

know who Henry Ford is, don't you? Yeah?

6:07

Of course that's really lines son of

6:09

a bit. Well, it's not so

6:12

far away and not so long ago. Henry

6:15

build himself a factory there on the route,

6:18

one of the biggest goddamn facilities

6:20

anyone's ever seen. Tens

6:22

of thousands of people worked there, even

6:25

made its own electricity a

6:27

city into itself, isn't

6:30

that right, Andy? Something like

6:32

that? Andy worked there,

6:35

and for a while life was good. But

6:38

really, people don't learn

6:40

anything. Greed comes

6:42

along and suddenly the world gets a little

6:45

tougher, a little poorer.

6:47

People don't buy as many cars as they

6:49

used to, and hard decisions

6:52

have to be made. Next thing you know,

6:54

there's fifty thousand men out of a job.

6:57

But what happened to you, Andy?

7:01

They was firing folks for just about anything,

7:04

saying we was all lazy, trumping

7:07

up charges out of nowhere, doing their best

7:10

turn us against one another, until

7:12

one day I got accused of stirring

7:14

up some sort of communist sentiment

7:17

on the factory floor. I never had

7:19

a red thought in all my life, total

7:22

horseshit. But next thing I know,

7:25

I'm let go for nothing. So it's

7:28

bitches, owner Scar Well,

7:32

we marched on the plant, a few thousand of

7:34

us to demand o goddamn jobs

7:37

back, pushed through police

7:39

and gas and got right up to those

7:42

gates. And what did

7:44

they do? They opened fire forwards

7:46

own people, pulling the trigger. That

7:49

cruel beastard let it all happen

7:51

instigated the whole thing. I'm

7:53

a victim twice over. I am a victim

7:56

of that man's greed. But

7:58

that's enough the holes or he is it now? Andy

8:02

here saved himself by shoving the man next

8:04

to him in the line of fire like a goddamn

8:07

coward. A lot of good if did him.

8:10

My people found him bleeding out, stitched

8:12

him up from set him my way,

8:15

and now he owes me his life,

8:18

don't you, Andy father?

8:22

You see time for you? Maybe

8:25

never? What do you think

8:27

of that boy, sir

8:30

father? I appreciate

8:32

your help, I really do. The mean

8:34

arrow should be on our way. No, when's the last time

8:36

you eight? Well? This

8:39

morning you're on foot, So

8:42

how far you think you're gonna get without something

8:44

in your belly? Food is good

8:46

and hot. No harm in having a decent

8:48

meal. Warm yourself up a bit and

8:51

get your energy back. I wish

8:53

they could relieve, but we need don't

8:55

be this courteous boy. It's

8:57

hard to abide disrespect when

8:59

a man has already got so little left

9:01

in the world. Follow

9:05

like a good lad cookie.

9:16

How's the slop looking? M

9:19

pretty bare? Oil? You better

9:22

stretch it. We got another mouth

9:24

to feed. Tonight. Father.

9:26

Can we speak with you a moment. I'll

9:31

be right back. Marjorie,

9:34

What is it this time? I told

9:37

you today

9:41

I wouldn't eat this stuff if I were

9:43

you what I

9:46

said, do

9:48

not eat this? What are

9:50

you doing here? I have the same question

9:52

for you. Stopping for a quick bite

9:55

at the hobo camp on your way home. Didn't

9:57

have a choice. This guy cornered me in the

9:59

wood. Let me follow him back

10:01

here. I

10:04

heard of places like this, but I've

10:06

never seen one in person before. I

10:09

can't imagine living here. They

10:11

are not bad people max down

10:14

on their luck. Yes, maybe

10:16

some have made mistakes. That

10:19

is true of all of us. You

10:21

want to talk, But that man,

10:24

the one they call father, he

10:27

is not like the others. Do

10:30

not turn your back on him.

10:32

Yes I know, clearly, I

10:34

know. But that was his night,

10:37

their night, Yours will come.

10:39

You do not need to ask, I say,

10:41

do not ask me again. I'm

10:45

going to make a run for it. That would

10:47

be unwise. Max. He controls

10:50

these people and they will never let

10:52

you out. But I

10:54

could help you. I'll

10:56

take my chances. Take

10:59

a seat on while it's still

11:01

warm. One more bowl

11:03

here. Can't forget the boys familiar.

11:06

Who the fuck are you? And

11:11

what do you mean? You're not my cook?

11:14

Then? What the hell are you doing here cooking

11:17

your food? He's

11:20

more salt? Hey, you

11:22

and I aren't done yet? Um?

11:27

What is it? Food? Sipped?

11:32

Go on? Then I

11:34

was tonight looking father, goddamn

11:37

devil's amness. I'll deal

11:39

with him, I said, how's tonight? Father? Jesus

11:41

Christ? Are her? I heard you the first

11:43

time. Today is not your

11:46

day? And don't ask again? Eat

11:48

and shut your mouth. We

11:50

got a guest. Is that what he

11:53

is? I didn't think you had

11:55

guests? How old

11:57

are you, boy? Young

12:00

to fight? Huh? What do

12:02

you know about the war? Just

12:05

a little bits of what my dad told me? He

12:07

served? He no,

12:09

sir, he has a bad lake. Well,

12:13

my father died in the Civil War,

12:15

but me and my four brothers

12:18

apparently had it in our blood. Do Enlist

12:21

went to France like most everybody

12:23

didn't. I wanted to see the world.

12:28

You know what I saw? Farm

12:30

fields and pastures, rain

12:33

and mud, not much more than

12:35

that empty space for

12:37

men to fight in One

12:40

day, we were all marching

12:43

through this farm land. Shells

12:45

just came out of nowhere, took the whole

12:47

company by surprise, and one

12:50

fell swoop. The Germans got every last

12:52

one of them. Oh

12:54

but me, how

12:58

did you make it? Hid

13:01

like a coward, didn't

13:04

you, Arthur? What choice did I have?

13:06

What would have been a point out

13:09

in front? There was an old barn. I

13:12

made it just in the nick of time, laid

13:15

there till everything was quiet, and

13:17

I waited till morning. God

13:21

damn bodies everywhere. Man

13:24

i'd spoken to just the day before,

13:27

ground up like me. The

13:30

only way you could identify most of them

13:32

was by their dog tags and

13:34

the earth soaked

13:37

with blood and guts whatever

13:39

else. I think about

13:41

those fields to this day, and

13:44

that ground was tilled, Crops

13:46

were planted, grown, harvested,

13:49

eaten, with no memory of

13:51

what came before. I

13:55

look at this piece of meat on

13:57

the end of my fork, and

13:59

I question is sometimes? But

14:02

then I think, what's

14:04

the difference? You

14:08

drunk, old fool, don't do

14:10

that to this boy when he's about to eat. All

14:13

right, I don't think I'm hungry.

14:16

I'm just saying it's all look

14:18

around you see any

14:20

live stock. These are

14:22

dark and miserable times,

14:25

and the ends long ways

14:27

off. People have

14:29

to survive. This man came

14:32

home from the war and drank himself jake

14:34

legged and brain damage from bathtub

14:36

gin. He doesn't know what he's saying.

14:39

Just tell the barther that's enough.

14:42

Shut the fuck up. Since

14:44

we're being honest, why don't you tell

14:46

the boy the whole truth? Those

14:49

tags weren't all you took? Were they all? Right?

14:51

What else did you take? Let me think?

14:54

Watches, wallets, rings,

14:57

gold teeth? Father please says

15:00

you're nothing but a goddamn grave

15:02

robber. Isn't that right? Okay?

15:04

And and for what you sold?

15:07

It? All for drinking and gambling money, didn't

15:09

you? And who

15:12

saved you? Who pulled you out

15:14

of that ditch, beaten left

15:16

for dead? You

15:20

did, father, Because

15:23

that's what I do. I

15:26

find people in need and I give

15:28

them back their life. Do

15:30

you understand, boy, Arthur?

15:33

And most of these people have done horrible

15:35

things, but hunger and desperation

15:38

will drive the men beyond their

15:41

humanity. They

15:43

can't help themselves. We're

15:46

done. Thank

15:48

you for the suit, but

15:51

I have a long way to go, and

15:53

now we need to leave. Come

15:55

with me, I'll show you

15:57

the way out. The

16:01

world looks at this place, our

16:04

community, and they see the poorer

16:06

and the leftover, the migrants

16:09

and the jobless. I

16:11

just see misguided souls.

16:15

Another home goes up, another

16:18

one comes down, and

16:20

all of this is the fuel. Why

16:23

don't people just live in the empty shacks instead

16:25

of building new ones. It's

16:27

important that everyone here builds their

16:30

own place. Even in these

16:32

times. People need a sense of place

16:34

and purpose. Why

16:36

are there so many empty roots?

16:39

What do you think we burn for that fire?

16:42

It's the last part of a person's debt.

16:45

When they're paid up, they leave.

16:48

Where do they go? This

16:51

way? No, I'm

16:53

not going anywhere else but home. Follow

16:56

me in and the way out will

16:58

be clear. Come

17:00

in, please, come

17:03

in that

17:07

you father? Is it? Tie?

17:10

Tell me? Are you sorry for

17:12

what you've done? Every day

17:15

since I did it? Lord?

17:19

I know I've done wrong by your

17:21

ways. I just want to

17:23

see herald again. Nobody

17:26

suspected an old blind woman would

17:28

cheat at the short straw? Would they forgive

17:31

me? I was scared?

17:34

I know it's

17:37

time to go. Bless

17:39

you, father, how

17:41

I have waited? Can

17:44

you help me? Boy? Give

17:47

her your arms? Son? Now

17:53

everyone follow

17:56

me. Tell

18:03

them what you told me that

18:06

I am sorry? And

18:09

how have you paid with

18:11

my life? Yes? You

18:14

have? Now take

18:16

my hands. M

18:23

hm, what

18:29

what just happened? I

18:32

released her because he

18:34

was ready. Where did

18:36

she go? It looks like she

18:39

just burst into frames. Her debt

18:41

is paid, she went home

18:44

and now this place is for the fire.

18:47

Someday this is where they will all go.

18:50

No, No, you have no right.

18:53

Don't act like you haven't confronted

18:55

death. Boy, there's a reason I

18:57

found you tonight of all nights,

19:00

and a reason you're here now. You

19:02

think that you can have a judgment that

19:04

you're better than these people we're

19:07

going? You

19:10

really don't get it, do you?

19:13

You're not going anywhere? Someone?

19:16

Get the boy? Well,

19:19

eat

19:20

you, I've

19:24

got the dog. I can see

19:26

it in your boy. There's death

19:28

on you. You know what I'm talking about,

19:30

don't you? And it's fresh

19:33

tonight. But

19:37

you're not sure how you feel about it? Are

19:39

you? You're alive, but

19:41

at the expense of someone else's blood.

19:44

Oh, the guilt, It

19:47

just isn't really there, is it.

19:50

I believe that now you

19:52

belong to me. Let

19:57

me go. How

20:00

what was that? Father? Something's

20:03

got my neck, but

20:07

I feel it free.

20:16

Looks like it was there night after all?

20:19

What Who is that? Cookie?

20:21

No? Then, who the fuck are you. What

20:24

are you? The boy? He

20:27

is not yours?

20:28

You not at this world,

20:32

and neither are you Max

20:36

Running. This is

20:38

my house, These are

20:40

my people. You have no

20:43

right? What have you turned to my fire?
