Humane (2024)

Post by bunniefuu »

The chilling announcement

was made earlier today

by the secretary general

of the UN,

who was overseeing the meetings

held by world leaders

at their emergency summit

in Athens.

While we

every day bear witness

to the catastrophic

ecological collapse

that is plaguing

our planet,

we must not forget

that this is above all,

a human crisis.

The sudden and devastating

scarcity of food,

water, and resources,

once only an issue

for our most vulnerable,

now spares no one,

and it requires a response

like none before.

He went on to add

that starting tomorrow,

all international borders

will be closed

and every nation

will have one year

to meet their population

reduction goals.

Come on,

Professor, are you seriously

telling our viewers

that you are

in favor

of conscription?

I am in favor

of this government

doing whatever it takes

to win this w*r.

Please stop referring

to this crisis as a w*r.

It's not a w*r.

Wars have opposing sides.

Humanity is

the opposing side.

We are engaged in

nothing less than a life

and death struggle

against our own extinction.

Unbelievable, so -- so

what else are you all for?

How about lowering

the age of eligibility?

Why not?

Plenty of individuals

under the age of 18

have expressed a desire,

a willingness to enlist.

I see no reason why we

shouldn't at least

consider their wishes.

Consider the wishes

of children?

I didn't say children,

but I do have

a 10-year-old son myself.

10, are you saying

that this administration

is considering letting

10 year olds enlist

because of your --

I sincerely hope

your son

is not watching.

I sincerely hope

he is.

He needs to know

exactly what's at stake.

Every nation

on this planet

needs to honor

their commitments

to the Athens Accords,

and we are severely

behind our 20% pledge.

Not enough people

are willing to enlist.

f*ck that guy.

I don't see him

signing up.

...come up with its initial

enlistment estimates, okay?

I am sorry,

Mr. York.

I made the mistake

of assuming...

No apology needed.

...selfless enough

to willingly enlist.

I agree.

To volunteer.

Turns out people

are far more selfish

than I believe

they were.

The fallout continues over

the Kremlin's

announcement last week

that Russia has satisfied

their commitment

to the Athens Accord

Three months ahead

of the UN deadline.

Oh, you're already working

on the mackerel.

It must be wonderful

to be handling

fresh seafood again.

This is the hardest thing

I've ever done in my life,

and I'm including my years

as a w*r correspondent.

The piano looks

so strange

in the bedroom.

But you were right.

It fits.

You want to come up

and see for yourself?

There's still time

before the kids arrive.

Oh, Dawn.

I'm sorry.

Before it causes

a collapse of health.

You said

you wanted to cook.

I'll go.

...have been taken

out of context.

Says the head of...

"This is fake news,

we are not

a branch of the m*llitary.

We are a department made up

of compassionate individuals

dedicated to helping our nation

in its greatest hour of need."

Coming up after the break,

we'll bring you more on

the York Therapeutics

class action trial.

The courtroom erupted today

when one of

the plaintiffs confronted

CEO Rachel York,

blaming Miss York personally

for her debilitating

chronic pain.

Exterior UV

levels are moderate.

Proceed with caution.

Hello?

What the f*ck

is the matter with you?

You go on TV

and you tell your son

that he should

k*ll himself?

That's not what

I said, Beth.

I didn't say

he should k*ll himself.

That reporter f*cking

twisted my words.

No, no, no, don't blame

the interviewer, Jared. Okay?

You said what

you said, and now --

now Lucas is bawling

his eyes out.

Um, okay,

uh, um...

Can I just

speak to him?

Would you mind putting

him on the phone?

I would love to have

a chat with him.

No, not a chance.

Are you kidding me?

He doesn't want

to speak to you.

Okay, wait.

Can I just

come by later? I-I...

I'll be gone --

I'll be gone before curfew.

No. No, you can't

come by.

I swear to God,

Beth, I didn't say

our son

should enlist.

That's...

f*ck my life.

Ohh!

What?

Dawn, most of this stuff

is prohibited.

Where'd you get it?

Oh, for God's sake.

What, is Noah coming

tonight or something?

Of course he is.

He's your brother.

I-I mean adopted.

Why don't you go relax

in the living room

until your father

comes downstairs?

Hmm?

Send me home

in a Uber.

I'm fine now.

They don't want me here.

I don't care

what they want.

You're staying

with me.

Was that

Grandpa's new car

in the driveway?

No, that's your

Uncle Jared's

midlife crisis.

I don't think

it's electric.

Oh. It's not.

She forced me

to come.

Oh, I'm sorry,

sweetheart.

You know, I am always happy

to see you.

Mia, go ask Uncle Jared

about his car?

I said this was an adults

only evening.

She shouldn't

be here.

Yeah, well, you didn't see

her when I got home.

She saw me on the news

and she was a wreck.

I couldn't leave her.

Poor Mia.

If you don't

want her here,

we're both leaving.

I mean, I don't have time for

whatever this is anyway.

No, no.

It's okay.

Stay.

Please stay.

Uh...

How are things

going with the lawsuit?

Mmm!

It smells good in here.

Hey, what --

what happened?

I can't do it.

I thought that I could,

but --

but the timing's

not right.

And -- And...

I don't know, Grace.

The last time

that I saw him,

he wouldn't even

look at me.

No matter what

your dad has planned,

he's not going to be upset

by what you have to say

after what he just

did for you.

I know.

What he did for me...

You don't know him.

You've never met him.

He hates surprises.

And -- And I can't just

hijack his night

because he'd --

he'd hate that.

And -- And that's okay,

because I-I just

I need...

Noah.

I-I-I just --

I need more time.

Noah.

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

Picture yourself calm.

Picture yourself in the place

you're most comfortable.

Now tell me.

What do you see?

Our apartment.

You.

Just you.

Go home.

I'll meet you

there soon.

We can get under the sheets

and watch TV.

Love you.

And I love you.

Nah-unh,

not a chance.

If I'm doing this,

so are you.

Get in.

In case

you're wondering,

I just had

a commercial audition

for a video game.

It's great,

you know,

five years

of theater school,

and this is what my life

has come to,

is praying to book

a commercial

for a video game.

I'm sorry, Ash.

Something I can do?

Yeah, you could

convince

the 50 other girls

I'm up against to enlist.

That could help me a lot.

I could try.

Okay,

thank you.

I'm pretty convincing.

Yeah, you are.

Any idea why Dad

invited us to dinner?

No. No.

Uh, my guess is

he's gonna tell us

that he's going

back to work.

Must be k*lling him,

he retired

just before the story

of the century broke.

You know Dad,

it's all about his legacy.

Why did I even

bother coming?

Hang tight.

Whose Grace?

Uh...

N-Nobody, just --

just a friend.

My God, do you have

a booty call after dinner?

I mean, it's not

a booty call

if you live together.

I met her, um,

at a meeting.

You know, she's been clean

for a long time, and...

Look, I was gonna

tell dad tonight, but --

but it's not --

The timing isn't right.

I don't want to get in

the way of,

you know, whatever.

And could you just --

just not

say anything

to him?

Yeah, no,

I won't.

Please. Just...

Won't say anything.

Please don't hate me.

I can never

hate you.

It's you and me

against the world.

Always.

Just no more secrets.

Promise?

Okay.

Like this.

That's it.

You're a natural.

Uncle Noah.

Auntie Ashley.

Hey, nugget.

I missed you.

Hi.

You look good, son.

Oh, really good.

Hmm.

"Hey, Ashley.

You look good, too."

Hey, Ashley.

You look good, too.

Oh. Thanks, Dad.

Okay,

everyone, to the table.

Time for kaiseki.

Thank you.

Thank you, Dawn.

Just in case.

This is sakazuki,

the appetizer.

Miso marinated tofu

with grilled aubergine

and seasonal vegetables.

This is the first dish

I learned to make

when I started

my training in Japan.

Wow, Dawn. This is like

a work of art.

Your guests must go

crazy for this.

She closed

the restaurant.

A toast.

We are so happy you all joined

us tonight for a family dinner.

It's so important.

I am so sorry

My work kept me

from being home

for dinner so often.

And breakfast

and lunch.

Sorry,

I'm just...

No. No, no,

no, no.

You're right.

It's inexcusable.

I love my job.

But you're my children.

And I should have

been here for you.

I should have

been here.

Well, that's not much

of a toast, is it?

What I'm trying

to say is,

we are so happy

all of you

could join us.

It means

the world to us.

To family.

To...family.

Oh, my God,

I'm gonna burst.

Please tell me

that's it.

Still one more course.

Anmitsu.

A very small dessert.

Well, before dessert,

I, um...

I do have

something that, uh...

I want to say

to everyone.

And we can't wait

to hear it.

But first, I think

these two need to tell us

what the f*ck

we're all doing here.

Rachel.

What?

You invited us here

for this fabulous,

fancy dinner.

Told us we

couldn't invite anybody.

What is going on?

We've decided to enlist.

What -- I--

Mia, go watch TV.

No, I want to stay.

Mia, go!

That's why we wanted

only adults here this evening.

Well, if you would have

given me a heads up

on what this night

was all about,

I would have found

a f*cking sitter.

Rachel, watch your mouth.

Are you f*cking

kidding me?

You've got a lot

of nerve telling me

to watch my f*cking--

Watch...your...mouth!

Save my dessert.

No social media.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

If you'd like to talk about this

in a respectful manner,

we're here for questions.

Yeah, I'll go first.

Uh, why?

Why would you enlist?

You don't need

the money.

For over three decades,

I delivered the evening news

and there was not a week

that went by where I was not

reporting on some horrific

ecological disaster.

Droughts, floods,

wildfires, crumbling glaciers.

I remember vividly staring

into my monitor the day

that the Amazon rainforest burnt

out of existence, just gone.

And I knew full well

that the last thing

this planet needed

was more people,

and what did I do?

I had children,

four of them.

Oh, my God.

And now the government

is talking about drafting people

to be euthanized.

If any of your names

were called,

I couldn't live

with myself.

But they won't

call our names.

You don't know that.

I do, I do,

I do, I do.

And even if

they did,

they can't call

all of us.

Okay? I'm not supposed

to say any of this yet,

but the legislation

only permits

one person

per family.

That means if one of us

were called,

the rest of us

would be safe.

And if at that point

you felt inclined

to take one of our places,

you could,

because they're going

to let parents do that.

But none of that's

gonna happen

because these rules

aren't made

for people like us.

So let's just

f*cking get it.

We can't take that chance.

Oh, my God.

Both our first marriages

ended tragically.

Neither of us ever expected

to find love again.

But by the grace of God,

we did.

And we think this is

the right thing to do.

Okay, I'm going to try

my hardest not to swear.

Um, but, Dawn,

why would you

agree to this bullshit?

Well, we

were thinking

we're both

public figures

and we believe

if we do this,

we can set

a good example.

Oh my God,

this is

about elevating

the York name,

isn't it?

No it's not. It's about

doing the right thing.

No it's not.

It's about

the fact that

we all embarrass you.

What?

It's true.

Much to your obvious

disappointment,

none of us turned out

to be anything special.

So enlisting is --

is your way

of going out

with the York name

forever remembered as

the epitome

of self sacrifice.

Dawn, be honest

with me.

This wasn't

your idea, right?

My dad convinced you.

We decided together.

Bullshit.

Everybody just

leave Dawn alone.

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

Son, sit down.

Please stay.

I gotta go, I-I...

Please.

No, this is not...

Dad -- Dad,

y-y-you just said...

You just said you wanted

to spend more time with us.

And this doesn't make

any -- any f*cking sense.

It doesn't make

any sense.

Noah, stop!

Put that down.

We'll continue this

discussion after dessert.

Right, dessert.

Yeah.

I will come and get you

when it's ready.

The rioting continued

throughout the night,

with protesters vowing

not to give up

until the government

provides transparency

into the full extent

of D.O.C.S. powers.

We'll be right back.

Week 39s enlisters

of the week

are Luis and Rosa Gonzalez.

Luis was employed as a high

school custodian for 25 years,

while Rosa stayed home

and raised their son, Ignacio.

Luis and Rosa bestowed their

enlistment benefit payments

to Ignacio

and his new bride, Maria,

who plan to use the money

to buy their first home.

Luis and Rosa,

a grateful nation, thanks you.

Dad, look, you don't

have to do this.

Look, I have a friend

in the program,

he -- he says that

the government is lying

about the enlistment numbers.

Oh, f*ck,

here we go.

Conspiracy theory time,

is it?

He's not a wacko, Jared.

He works for

a watchdog group.

And, dad, what they're saying

is that way more than

9% of people have

enlisted, it's more like 16%.

Yeah, what's -- what's this,

uh, person's name?

His name? Why?

Because people who

spread disinformation

should be held accountable,

so what's his name?

His name is

the same as mine.

He's anonymous.

He's --

Oh, he's anonymous.

The anonymous ones I found

are always the bravest.

I assume you told

this f*cking clown,

he has no idea

what he's talking about.

How do you know?

You don't know this person.

No, but I do know

this person is

speaking utter nonsense.

Why would the government

lie about that?

Why would they lie?

You do know who's

enlisting, don't you?

And it's only gotten worse

since they've opened up

enlistment to

undocumented immigrants.

Okay, now that's

a very unfair picture

you're painting, that's

a very popular program.

First off,

those people are paid.

Second off, their children

are fast tracked

towards citizenship.

Those people.

Oh, for f*ck's sakes,

that's not what I meant.

I just meant it is

a very good opportunity

for people...

Like him.

Jared, he is

your brother.

I said "like" him,

I don't mean him.

He's got all

the opportunity he needs.

Rachel, please

help me out here.

No, never. Never.

Okay, guys, I know that,

yeah, times are grim

and rumors are swirling,

but this administration

would never fabricate

enlistment numbers

just to gerrymander.

Trust me.

Why should

we trust you?

You're on TV every day

defending a government that

is made up of

the same buffoons

who had come

onto my show

and deny that climate change

even existed.

Yeah, I don't know

why I expected

anything different

from you.

You spent an entire career

in mainstream media

just pointing fingers.

Asking questions

is not pointing fingers.

Pointing fingers is when

this administration

repeatedly refers

to this crisis

as the Asian collapse.

But that's true.

China, Japan, India --

They're responsible

for this.

Shame on you.

That sort of

hateful rhetoric

is why Dawn can't even go

outside anymore,

for God's sake.

They b*rned down

her restaurant.

Oh, I know you crave

the spotlight, Jared.

But you're embarrassing

yourself.

And you embarrass me.

Okay, cool,

so I guess

next time

I go on television,

I should probably just make

a little pit stop

at one of

Noah's meetings

and just see what the deadbeat

junkies have to say.

Jared, shut up!

He met his girlfriend

at a meeting.

You're dating

another addict.

Son.

Her name is Grace.

And, um...

She -- She's been clean

for ten years, Dad.

And...she's been very,

very good for me.

Do you have a picture?

Yeah.

Oh. She's lovely.

What does she do?

She's a manager at

a Sports World

at the Oakwood Mall.

And...

I work there too.

Um, I play the piano

in the food court.

You're playing again?

Just jazz standards

and muzak, you know.

Nothing --

It's nothing.

No, it's not nothing.

It's perfect.

Well, I better

go help Dawn.

Anyone else see

the way he bandied

about that

fireplace poker?

I thought he was going

to k*ll me.

Can I see?

Ohh!

My God, look!

You guys are so cute.

Yeah,

it's kind of sickening.

You look nice,

look at them.

She's gone.

What?

What is this?

"I'm sorry.

I can't do it.

I will always

love you. Dawn."

What does she mean?

I can't do it?

Dad, did you

already sign up?

Hi. I'm Bob.

It's them!

Oh, they're early.

What?

Hi, it's Bob from D.O.C.S.

Department of

the Citizen Strategy.

I'm sorry, we're a bit early,

but our last appointment.

was a no-show.

You scheduled it

for tonight?

We wanted you all

here with us

as -- as we said

goodbye.

What the f*ck, Dad?

You can't just

spring that on us.

Tell him to leave.

We're not done here.

That's right,

that's right.

Jesus.

Hi, Bob again.

We can't park

our vehicle

in the driveway

with all the cars.

Do you mind if we park

it along the side here?

It's a tight fit,

but Tony's a pro.

Uh, sure.

Yeah.

Okay, Tony,

we're good. All right.

Well,

normally I start by

asking who people are,

but I-

I certainly know who you

are, sir, I'm a big fan.

Charles York, most

reliable source for news.

Is that James Earl Jones.

Who does that voice? No.

That's CNN.

That was years ago.

Anyway, I love it,

I love it.

It -- It makes you want

to listen, you know?

Uh...

Wow, you're married

to Dawn Kim?

I saw her on Iron Chef.

Yeah, me and the missus

have always

wanted to go to

a restaurant,

but just a little too rich

for our blood, you know?

Anyway, you mind if

I come in,

or did you want to do

the procedures in the driveway?

I'm so sorry.

That was rude.

That was rude.

I'm just a little out

of sorts these days.

It's just impossible

to take time off right now.

Circling back.

May I come in?

Please, come in.

Hello, I'm Bob.

Hi. Hello.

Hello.

Wow.

This place

is stunning.

I don't get to see inside

a lot of houses

in this neighborhood.

I love how you've

updated things

and kept

the historical elements.

I mean, and that chandelier

is just like--

Fish?

Yes. Uh, hi.

I'm Jared,

I'm Charles's son.

I know you,

you're on TV, too.

I am, yeah.

Lately, anyway.

You're that government guy.

Well, no, I'm --

I'm an anthropologist,

but I have been working

in coordination with the--

Oh, that's great.

Where's Dawn?

S-She's not here.

She got cold feet

and she left.

Oh, so it's

just you, then?

Yes, but my wife

and I

decided to

enlist together.

So if it's all right

with you,

I'd like to ask you

to come back another time.

I'm sure once she

and I connect,

she'll be back

on board.

That's -- It's great.

Yeah, great.

You, uh, can I, uh

talk to you in private?

I mean, don't worry,

don't worry.

Just need to sign

some confidential paperwork

to cancel

the procedure.

You know, the government

and their paperwork.

Like a dog with a bone,

rah rah rah rah.

Absolutely.

I'll -- I'll sign whatever.

Please follow me.

Just initial

the bottom of each page,

signed the last one,

and we're all set.

Fine.

Well...

I'd like to

look it over first.

Sure. Take your time.

Wow.

That's Mandela.

I recognize him.

And Bono.

Is that Queen B?

Oh, my God, I love her.

It is, isn't it?

Oh.

What a life you've led,

my friend.

And by all accounts,

a virtuous one.

Not everyone

can say that.

Some men

in your position,

well, they take advantage.

Lives ruined,

careers destroyed.

And all for what?

A little -- little hanky panky.

Yeah, when those

bozos are gone,

all anyone is

going to remember

is the nasty stuff.

Not you.

When you're gone,

people are going to

remember you

as one of the greats.

That is, unless something

comes to light

that makes people

see you differently.

What is this?

I'm not signing this.

Do you know who I am?

I do.

As I said,

I'm a big fan

and I will never stop

feeling that way

toward you.

No matter what list

your name is on.

The way he plays.

- It's beautiful.

- Dad, I don't understand.

You said that you wanted

to do this with Dawn.

What changed?

Did he--

Oh, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

And you were right.

I did try to convince Dawn

to enlist,

but I'm still set

on doing this.

I'm sorry

I wasn't a better father.

I was too hard

on all of you.

Especially after

your mother d*ed.

The estate will

be divided evenly

amongst you all.

Be good to one another.

Support one another.

Do better than I did.

This is

the anesthetic.

Once I administer it,

you'll fall asleep

and you won't

feel a thing.

Grandpa.

That was

very moving

from the music

to the reconciliations.

I mean, that procedure

ranked right up there

with the best of them.

Just go.

All right, then.

Bye.

Ah, I can't leave

quite yet.

Why not?

You're not gonna

like this,

but I need

a second cadaver.

A body.

I need a second body.

I already told you,

Dawn left.

I know,

and that's unfortunate.

But we're here

to collect, um...

Two bodies.

What's he

talking about?

You're scaring my niece.

Get out!

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, my God!

f*ck

Jesus Christ!

Calm down,

calm down.

It's okay.

It's all right.

It's okay.

Look, we've got three hours

until our next appointment,

and it's, uh...what?

Roughly a half hour

from here?

Another half hour

to perform the procedure.

And that leaves you

two full hours to decide

which one of you is

gonna take Dawn's place.

Okay, I don't know if

this is some kind of

ill-timed joke,

but it ends now.

Uh...I'm calling some friends

of mine in the administration.

Yeah, that's not

gonna happen.

We scrambled

the house.

We can't have

you wasting time

when you should

be concentrating

on the task at hand.

Now, the little one here --

Mia, right?

You don't

talk to her.

Oh, relax.

I was just gonna

tell you that she's exempt.

We don't get paid

for minors.

You -- Paid?

Well, sure.

D.O.C.S. contracts out

cadaver collections

to private companies,

such as the one that employ me

and my colleagues here.

We used to

work in corrections,

but prisons emptied out

in a hurry

when enlistment opened up

to incarcerated convicts.

It's such a shame, too.

Housing,

feeding convicts

over time paid

a lot more dough

than cadaver procurement.

That's strictly

a one time fee.

And currently the government

isn't paying for minors.

But maybe someday soon.

Right, Professor?

You're a lunatic.

How?

I'm doing my job

just like you.

Now give us

the girl.

Mom?

It's okay.

You're not taking her.

Uncle Noah!

Tony, take her.

Mom!

No! You're not

taking her.

You can't have her.

Calm down, it's okay.

It's all right.

We're not gonna hurt her.

You have my word.

She's just gonna sit

with us in her vehicle

until this whole situation

is resolved.

Now, trust me,

you don't want her here

for this next part.

Okay, Mia, listen to me.

You need to go

with the man, okay?

Oh, Mom,

I'm so scared.

It's okay.

We just need to

figure this out, I promise.

Okay?

Come on.

Let's go.

You're gonna be okay.

Why are you

doing this?

We didn't enlist,

Dawn did.

Please go find her.

Well, we already have people

looking for Dawn,

but the odds that

she's located

in the next two hours

are not good.

And we are not falling

further below our quota.

No way, no how.

What did you

say to her father?

Nothing, I just gave him

the paperwork

to cancel his procedure.

And then he read it over

and decided not to sign,

which, you know,

see, you can --

You can back out.

No problem.

But your bank

accounts are frozen.

You lose your assets,

and you go to jail

for the rest of your lives.

Either way,

my company gets paid.

Jared,

is that true?

Yeah, it is,

but you know what?

Nothing seemed to bother him

as much as the fact

that his name

would one day be published

on the government's

cowards list.

Yep, we're gonna let people

know the names

of all the bums who

turn their backs

on their country

when it mattered most.

Your dad cared a lot about

what people thought of him, huh?

All right.

Uh, Bob.

Bob.

Um...you don't have

to do this.

Well...

Okay? I-I am sure

as leader

of this unit,

you have some discretion

as to how the D.O.C.S.

regulations are applied.

So -- So I'm gonna tell

you this as a favor.

You don't

wanna do this.

You are on the wrong side

of history.

This --

This is a mistake.

I know people.

Important people.

No, you know what?

You make a very

good point, Jared.

I really appreciate that.

Thank you.

Of course.

No problem.

I hate to be

that guy.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah,

but here's the thing.

I don't care

who you know.

And I certainly

don't care for you

telling me how

to do my job.

The rules are the same

for everybody.

That's how I roll.

So, here's what

I suggest.

You all go into

separate rooms,

take some time,

think about your lives.

I'm sure one of you

is gonna realize that...

it's not all that great.

And to get things started,

I brought a little

reading material.

You see,

this situation happens

a lot more often

than you think,

and that's why our familial

research department

compiles concise,

personalized notes

on all family members

based on information gathered

from browser histories,

emails, texts,

DMs and phone calls.

And not just from them,

but from the people

they interact with.

So let's start

with Jared York.

Please don't.

Oh, this is good.

This is good.

You're very young

girlfriend, Kaylee,

who you abandoned your wife

and child for last year.

She's having

carnal relations

with 3 to 5

additional people,

depending on the week.

She's what?

And speaking of

your son, Lucas,

he hopes that

you'll enlist

so he never

has to see your,

and I quote here,

"stupid af face again."

Oh, and you

often Google--

Okay,

you Google sh*t.

You Google sh*t.

Next up.

Rachel York.

It's okay. I'm pretty sure

I know what's on there.

Um, my daughter is

being bullied because of me.

Yes, says so

right here.

Uh, my board wants to fire me

from my own company.

Yeah,

that's right.

Oh, and I'm also

wanted for a string

of bank robberies.

Hmm, that's not--

f*ck you,

you piece of sh*t!

Ah!

Ah!

Stand down.

Stand down. Here.

Read them yourselves.

And just, uh,

flick the porch

lights off and on

when you've made

your decision.

Wait, wait, wait.

What if we can't decide?

What if we can't make

a decision?

Ah, we'll decide

for you.

sh*t.

Procedure 16 complete.

Headed to 17th location.

Over.

You know, I'd ask you

to play cards with me,

but I don't much

appreciate your mom

punching me in the face.

I appreciated it.

Oh, fuuuuuck!

f*ck!

f*ck you,

you pieces of sh*t!

What the f*ck

do you know?!

Come on.

Come on, Jared.

Come on, Jared.

Come on, Jared.

Would you please move?

Thank you.

So anyone?

I think Noah should

sacrifice himself for us.

Screw you, Jared.

No, really.

Screw him.

Screw him.

When Mom and Dad

adopted him,

he was given

every opportunity

under the sun.

He went to

the best schools.

He had the top

piano instructors.

But! But!

Not only did he

piss his own life away,

he also f*cking k*lled

that woman in the accident.

So if you ask me,

Noah should

sacrifice himself for us.

It only makes sense.

No, you know what

makes sense?

Is putting it

to a vote.

Okay.

Who here thinks

that Jared

should take Dawns spot?

Jared?

How f*cking dare you!

I have a child!

Who hates you!

Like everyone else

in your life.

Oh, do -- do you know

everyone else in my life?

Oh, my God, okay, no,

maybe I don't.

But I know Beth.

Hey...

Oh, you remember her?

You're beautiful,

amazing wife.

The one you bailed on the second

someone showed you

just a little bit

of attention?

Stop it.

Yeah, I bet if she were here,

her hand would be

held f*cking high.

No, it wouldn't!

Yes, it would!

Stop fighting!

I didn't get to say

this earlier.

But I came here tonight

to apologize.

I've been nothing

but a drain on this family

for far too long.

But the accident

woke me up.

I'm clean.

I found love.

And for the first time

in my life,

I see a future

for myself.

And I want nothing

more than for that future

to include the people

in this room.

Now we can get through this,

but we have to stick together,

like dad said.

Okay...

Like Dad said?

Before he d*ed.

Dad said to be kind

to one another,

to support one another.

So let's stop fighting

and let's work together.

It's what Dad

would have wanted.

Are you serious?

That assh*le signed

one of his own

f*cking children up to die.

He couldn't have known

about that, obviously.

No. Not obviously.

No. Nothing with him

was ever obvious.

The man could have given a

f*cking TED Talk

on withholding,

and all of a sudden

I'm supposed to give a sh*t

because he got all weepy

on his deathbed?

f*ck you.

Nice. Nice.

Now what the f*ck

do we do?

Where is it?

Where is it?

I mean, where is it?

It's got to be here somewhere.

Oh, no, no, no.

Is it here?

Nope.

Nope, nope, nope,

nope, nope. There it is.

There's the card

I needed.

Why don't you shove it

up your butt

so you'll

always have it.

You have your

mother's charm.

Boss, they blinked

the light.

Decision time.

BRB.

Hello. Hi.

We ready

to proceed?

No, we just --

We had a question.

You said that if

we couldn't decide

who has the

procedure,

you'd decide for us.

How will you decide?

It's a very

good question.

You'll be happy

to know that

I use a very

scientific system

perfected over time.

What if we

gave you a body?

What, you find one

in the freezer?

No, you f*ck.

I'm asking if you have

to do the procedure

or can we just

deliver you a body?

A procedure is preferable

from a paperwork standpoint,

but I would figure

something out.

No.

No decision yet.

My cards.

What did you --

What did you do?

Why would you do this?

'Cause you're a bully.

What was

that about?

What?

You said that we were

just gonna ask Bob

how he would decide.

Yeah.

We did that.

And then I had

a follow up question.

A very pointed one.

No, a very logical one.

I don't want to

draw straws, do you?

f*cking no,

of course not.

But...

May--Maybe it's

what's fair.

f*ck fair.

I don't want

a 1 in 4 chance

of dying tonight.

Sorry, those odds

don't work for me.

Okay, so what is

your suggestion, then?

I don't have one.

I've made mistakes.

A lot of them.

Especially recently,

but I am sure

as hell not ready

to throw in

the towel.

None of us are.

That's kind of

beside the point, isn't it?

No it isn't.

'Cause here's

the thing.

I barely know

you f*cking people.

I know we're family

and all, but, what,

we see each other

three, maybe four times

a year.

Always here at Dad's.

I mean, we never

get together on our own.

We never even

call each other unless

it's an obligatory

birthday call.

I am closer with the lady

who does my nails

than I am with

any of you.

What's your point?

My point is,

if Bob needs

a second body,

I can tell you

all, right f*cking now

it's not gonna

be mine.

- Holy f*ck!

- Rachel!

f*ck!

No!

Let me see.

What the f*ck?

He doesn't deserve

a cent of Dad's money.

He's just gonna f*cking

snort it all away.

Oh, my God.

She's not wrong.

Yeah she is.

I'm f*cking clean, Jared.

Oh, whatever.

It never sticks.

Listen, guys,

one less sibling means

more of Dad's money

for the rest of us.

You trying to recruit them

to g*ng up on me?

No, I know where

Jared stands.

Ashley,

you do get

the severity of

the situation, don't you?

You do get that

on of us

is leaving here tonight

in a f*cking body bag.

One of our cold,

dead bodies

is being wheeled

out that door

and thrown in the back

of that mobile morgue

at the end of

the driveway,

right alongside Dad.

Now, do you want

that dead body

to be your

pretty little body?

No, you don't.

Because you

have a dream, right?

You're gonna be

a famous actress,

and it'll happen

for you, too.

You just got to keep

following your heart.

As if you care. You've never

even seen her on stage.

No.

I haven't,

but I do know

that following your heart

isn't cheap.

Now, I don't know

how big Dad's estate is,

but think of how much

more of a nest egg

you could have with

one of us out of the picture.

Yeah.

Nice try.

But we're stronger

than that.

Noah already got

his inheritance.

What do you mean?

I mean, he's not

going to trial.

The, uh, woman's family

dropped the charges

because Dad

paid them off.

I saw an email

from Dad's lawyers.

He paid them

$3 million.

- Holy sh*t!

- No, no, no,

I had nothing to do

with that, Dad did that.

I didn't even

know about it

Okay.

until Dawn

told me about it.

When she -- When she

invited me to dinner.

I mean, so, Dad's estate

isn't really being

split evenly, is it?

Because you're

already up 3 mil.

I don't give a sh*t

about the money.

You guys can have it.

Ash.

Ash.

You promised me

no more secrets.

Jared, put that back.

Jared, put that back.

- What the f*ck?

- Ashley. Ash!

You put that back.

Ash!

3 million

f*cking dollars.

Stop! This is

f*cking crazy!

All of you, stop!

Get the f*ck back, Jared!

Hit him!

It's not easy

as it looks.

You f*cking

hit him.

I already did.

Just swing,

you f*cking p*ssy!

Stop, stop!

Swing!

Do you want it

to be you?

No!

We're a f*cking family.

Just f*cking swing!

Stop it!

We're a f*cking family.

f*ck this.

Jared.

Jared.

Yeah.

Ah!

Jesus! f*ck!

Ash, please.

Come on.

Don't do this.

Ash, please.

Ah!

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

So you're

a test tube baby?

Is that because your mom

couldn't mate with a man

without k*lling him?

No, my mom said

it was because

she didn't want to waste

any of her love

on some idiot man.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I don't think your mom

is a person with

a whole lot of love

and reserve.

This is a waste.

I have to pee.

Back there,

to the right.

Wait, wait,

wait, wait.

I don't want you

peeing on this.

Sir, great news.

We have

apprehended Mrs. Kim

and are en route

to your location.

You can release

the orcs.

ETA 20 minutes.

Uh, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

Um, let's just,

uh...

bring her back

to headquarters.

Sir, she says she wants to do

the procedure at home.

Yeah, I don't give

a rat's ass what she wants.

Take her back to headquarters.

I wiped myself

on your hand towel.

Oh, of course

you did.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Close your...

Put yourself calm.

Picture yourself calm.

Picture yourself calm.

Picture yourself calm.

Oh, my God.

Grace.

Grace.

One, two.

One, two.

One, two.

One, two, three.

Oh, there we go.

Apologies for the counting,

but the instructions

say it's ready when you can

count to three between pops,

so that's what I do.

You got to be careful,

'cause the second

you burn one kernel,

the whole bag is ruined.

I don't know why, but it

just tastes off, you know?

One time I only --

I only had four

unpopped kernels.

I put a photo of it on Insta.

You should check it out.

I'm @WhataboutBob42.

Amazing, I'll do that

for sure.

Hey. You don't want

any popcorn?

It's been

over an hour.

What are they still doing

in the house?

You know, based

on my experience

in similar situations,

I want to say, yeah,

k*lling one another.

What?

No they're not.

Why would they do that?

Hey, that's not on me.

Your mom came up

with that idea

all by herself.

She did not.

She would

never do that.

Oh, why?

Because she's such

a good person? Please.

You know those

terrible things your classmates

are saying about her online

are true, right?

Yeah, your mom

was fully aware

that those pills

didn't work.

And, yes, she refused

to pull them off the shelf.

So those women got sicker

and sicker because of her.

Stop lying!

Tony!

That our expectation,

our desire

to achieve victory

on a volunteer basis.

Is an abject failure.

They sent this idiot

out to the crowd.

I don't know why

you bother having him on--

He is

Charles York's son.

I respect

the hell out of Charles.

But his kids?

That's another story.

Noah.

Please don't.

What are you doing here?

I had to get away.

I couldn't take it.

Noah, I'm so sorry.

I don't know

what happened.

Rachel,

she got in my head.

Where are they?

They're in

the living room.

They have

Dawn's knives.

I'm gonna go

talk to them.

Did you not just hear

what I said?

This has to stop.

Ash...

...it has to stop.

You stay here?

No.

I should go

with you.

They should hear it

from the both of us.

Get behind me.

In case they

g*ng up on you too.

Okay.

Hey.

Look at us.

You look so happy.

I just started

taking piano.

Nobody called me

a prodigy back then.

It was still fun.

And I had a new little sister

to call my own.

You and me

against the world.

Right?

Got those

chubby little cheeks.

Noah.

Yeah.

f*ck!

Damn it!

Ash, help me!

Help me!

I can't.

Ash!

Open the f*cking door!

Get up, help me!

Move! Move!

You're f*cking dead!

Die already.

Tell Mia

I love her.

Tell her yourself.

Ah!

I'm not r*cist.

Uh...

No, I-I'm an ally.

Okay, so,

uh, you, uh...

Mia, uh...Dawn.

I love --

I love you all, okay?

I-I know you're

not supposed to say,

"I don't see color,"

but I don't see color.

So none of this

has anything to do with,

uh, white privilege

or systemic anything.

Got it, Jared.

I got it.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh my God!

Oh, sh--

You think I'm the bad guy,

but I'm not.

I'm only here tonight

because your grandpa invited me.

He knows I'm doing

important work

to save the planet

for your generation.

Give me

a f*cking break.

Your generation

ruined the planet.

Hey, language.

You need to improve

your outlook, young lady.

I mean, I don't think

you realize how lucky you are

to be living

where you do

Most of the world

now, you know,

it's total anarchy.

But we still have

law and order,

and we're still protecting

your freedoms.

Okay, look.

You don't understand this

because you're a kid,

and I get that, right?

But just when

the dust settles,

when we hit

our enlistment goal,

the great people

of this country

used to have

the really decent, the --

the righteous people,

they're gonna be gone.

Yeah, whatever.

No, no, no!

Enough with

the f*cking attitude!

After everything

I've done,

after everything

I've sacrificed,

you damn well better

show me some respect.

Boss, everything

okay in there?

Boss?

Yeah, Tony. I'm good.

It's all good. It's all good.

It's all good.

It's all good.

Look, I'm sorry, I didn't

mean to frighten you.

I'm just -- I don't I know

what I'm talking about.

You know, I've been -- I've been

inside these people's homes.

I've sat

with their families.

And these aren't

the Richie Rich's of the world,

like your kind, they're

massive carbon footprints.

No, these are the -- These

people are salt of the earth.

They've worked hard

their whole lives

and just couldn't

catch a break.

That is, until the government

offered them

a quarter of a million,

tax free, dollars

to sacrifice themselves.

And now -- And now

they're dying happy

knowing that their families

are being taken care of.

You know?

I mean,

that's beautiful.

My wife, Ruth,

she enlisted on day 14.

Yeah, she had

Parkinson's for years,

but we managed,

you know, we managed.

It's all good.

Still, she decided that

since the enlistment program

didn't give two hoots

about preexisting conditions,

she might as well

sign up

and get the money

instead of die

for nothing,

you know?

Hey, I disagreed,

but I never

won an argument

in all our years

of marriage.

Look, I'm sorry that

you're all broken up

about what's going on

in your grandpa's house,

but come on,

come on.

Is it so wrong to

not want the new world

to be filled with terrible

people like your family?

No.

I guess not.

But I don't think

you care about that.

I just think you like

to watch people die.

Can it be both?

Jesus Christ, this is

so f*cking bleak.

I-I don't know, I--

Oh, God.

Jesus.

Is -- Is --

There's no way Bob

can just come in here

and f*cking k*ll him

so we don't have to?

No, he won't do it.

No, but he might.

He might. We could

at least ask him.

It's a waste of time.

That sadistic fucker

is loving

what's happening

in here.

This is what

he wanted all along.

If we want out,

we have to deliver the body.

Guys, the way

he looked at me

when he realized

I betrayed him.

I can't.

Yeah.

He could have finished

me off,

but he didn't.

Me too.

All right, Ash,

it's okay, we're gonna,

uh, just get this done

real quick.

It'll be over with

before you know it.

On three.

Yeah, okay.

On -- On three.

Okay.

- Ugh.

- Oh, God.

One.

Yep. One.

Two.

Ahh...

Three.

Noah?

Noah!

Noah, please!

Who's that?

Who's that?

Noah, are you

still here?

Ma'am,

stop right there.

You stay there.

Noah, where are you?

Ma'am.

Let me go.

I don't know what's

going on here,

but I'm recording

everything.

- Where is Noah?

- Holy sh*t.

That's Grace.

Oh, my God,

we're saved.

G-Grace!

Hey, hey,

you guys,

you're Noah's family,

right?

- Yeah.

- What's going on here?

Where's Noah?

Ma'am.

I can answer

all your questions.

I didn't ask you.

I asked them.

Get back in the house,

get them back

in the house right now.

Come on.

Mom!

Mia!

Back in there.

Ma'am, you're interfering

in official D.O.C.S. business.

That's

a federal offense.

D.O.C.S.?

I thought D.O.C.S.

just euthanized people.

We've diversified.

sh*t.

Hey! Hey!

Stop the vehicle!

Mom!

Mia!

No, no, no,

no, no, no, no!

Tony, help me

out here.

Just -- Careful!

She's a child!

Be gentle,

Tony, gentle.

Yorks,

back in the house.

You still

owe me a body.

Owe him a body?

What is going on here?

Where is Noah?

Tell me he's alive.

He is Grace,

he's alive.

But he needs help.

Please run

and get help.

Okay, okay.

I'm gonna go

get help.

Just tell Noah

I love him.

Go! Run! Run!

Stop her.

What?

They k*lled her.

They f*cking k*lled her!

She didn't do

anything.

So that's it, right?

You have your second body.

What, are you

kidding me?

She's not

my second body.

I'm here to collect

two York bodies.

Now get back

inside the house

and finish

what you started.

And don't you dare try

to pin this on me.

If your family did it's part,

that poor woman

would be alive right now.

Now get in there.

You've got 15 minutes.

I meant

go get her.

Don't.

Don't say anything.

Let's just go upstairs

and do what we have to do.

Don't think about it.

Let's just do it.

I mean, no, I wouldn't want

to be alive right now anyway.

That woman

lying dead out there

was his whole world.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, if -- if you

think about it,

we're really

doing him a favor.

I mean,

it's f*cked up,

but it's the right thing

to do.

Now it is.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Huh.

Noah?

f*ck.

Noah?

Noah?

We had nothing to do

with what happened to Grace.

Noah?

Come on, Noah,

we don't have much time.

I'm not mad anymore.

Noah, come on,

you're freaking us out.

This is bad.

This is so f*cking bad.

f*ck.

f*ck.

f*cking Noah.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

Jesus Christ, Noah!

Noah.

No!

Noah, we're so sorry.

We're so sorry.

Noah!

Get off her!

f*ck you.

If Bob needs a body,

it can be this

lying bitch's body.

Please, just

leave her alone.

What would

Dad think?

Huh?

f*ck.

Ah! What would

Dad think?

Huh?

Ah! Ah!

Don't you f*cking

talk about him.

Okay, okay!

Just leave Ash alone.

I'm volunteering

for the procedure,

you don't

have to do it.

You don't have to do it.

I'm volunteering.

Everything that's

happened tonight

is on me.

You're not

the worst of us, Noah.

I am.

I'm cold,

I'm selfish.

So take me.

Please.

Just take her,

okay?

You -- You never wanted

fame or money.

You just wanted

a f*cking family.

Just flick the lights.

I'm ready, okay?

No, no, no.

It should be me.

'Cause I'm the eldest

and I'm supposed to

look out for you guys.

I was always supposed

to look out for you guys.

I never f*cking did.

Uh, a really bad brother.

And I'm a bad husband

and a bad father.

So if someone is

gonna have the procedure,

it should be me.

- I have nothing.

- Jared, stop!

You have Lucas.

He needs you

to be here for him.

And no one needs

a two-faced failure.

If anyone should do

the procedure,

it should be me.

f*ck that.

No one

is volunteering.

It has to

be one of us.

We have no choice.

I volunteered first.

No, we've always had

another choice.

Let's get Bob.

I need to

see my family.

You'll see them when

they blink the porch lights.

Not before.

By then

it'll be too late.

Someone I love

is gonna die in there.

Please. Please.

Please, Bob, please.

Please!

I need to say goodbye,

at least

Let me say goodbye!

Why?! Why won't

you let me see them?!

Just a little bit

longer, Ash.

Ash, stay with us.

f*ck, she's losing

a lot of blood.

Jared, hurry up.

Two more seconds.

Right,

you keeping pressure?

Yes.

Jared!

Okay, okay.

It's ready.

You're gonna have to

hold her down, though.

Ash, Ash.

Ash, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ash.

It's not your fault.

It's supposed to be

me and you against the world.

And I screwed it up, Noah.

Aah, do -- do you want

to count down?

No.

Just f*cking do it.

Okay, here we go,

here we go, here we go.

Oh, no no, no,

I have to do it again.

I'm going in again.

I'm going.

Ash? Ash?

Ash, Ash,

come on.

Ashley, Ashley,

wake up!

Wake up!

Come on.

Ashley!

Well, times up,

one way or another.

We're nearly done here.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Huh.

Not who I expected.

Where are the rest

of you Yorks at?

We don't have

all night.

Okay.

Stop right there.

Shirts up.

Turn in a circle.

Well, whoever's

responsible for this,

I really appreciate you

saving us the effort of

bringing our equipment

back in here.

So thank you for that.

Let's get

the gurney in,

though, Tony.

We're all set

to go in here.

Okay, well, I guess

I owe you guys some money.

Now I can split the total

between the three of you.

But one of you is gonna get

a penny more than the others.

Some people wouldn't think

that's an issue,

but some families just fight

like crazy over it, you know?

Ahh! f*ck!

Shut the f*ck up.

Ashley, that was

quite a performance.

I've seen a lot

of dead bodies.

I'm not easily fooled.

Well done.

Hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa.

g*ns down

or they're dead!

Do it!

You don't want to

be doing this, Yorks.

We're all

bleeding out anyways.

You tell them to put their g*ns

down or you'll be joining us.

Put your g*ns down.

Do what he

f*cking says!

They're not listening.

They say it's hard to saw

through someone's windpipe, Bob.

But I bet I could do it

in just one swipe.

Okay, give them

your weapons.

Put your weapons down.

Hand over your weapons.

Put them down.

Down! f*cking down!

Do what they say.

Give it to me. Give me

your g*ns. Give me the--

He's gonna cut

his f*cking throat!

On the ground.

Hands on

your heads.

Listen.

Do as they say.

Now.

Hands on

your head.

Well, if you think we've

never been in a situation

like this before,

you'd be wrong.

So let me tell you

how this is gonna play out.

Ash.

Ashley.

Okay.

All right, I'm good.

Let's take him dow--

- I have --

- Shut up.

I have a son, too.

Tony Junior.

Cut it out or I'm gonna

swap you for Bob.

He's awake.

Boss, I'm sorry.

They forced me to show them

how to set everything up.

Tony, Tony, Tony,

Tony, it's okay.

I've got it all

under control, babe.

Oh, yeah.

This is not looking good

for you guys.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

Yeah, this is looking

really bad for us.

Well, I'm just saying,

based on what I'm seeing here,

not only are all of you

going to jail,

but the government now

has official custody

of both Mia and Lucas.

Excuse me?

Not me.

Or my company.

We're not in the minor

accommodation business, I swear.

However, if any D.O.C.S.

employee is injured

in the enactment

of their duties,

the perpetrator's children

automatically become

wards of the state.

It's true. Ask Tony.

It's true.

Don't k*ll me.

Yeah, and you should see

the deplorable conditions

at these facilities,

I mean,

remember the kids

in cages at the border?

Yeah, think that

but far worse. Far worse.

Oh, you probably want to

keep your f*cking hands

off our kids.

Then we're screwed

no matter what we do.

Huh, Bob?

No reason to

leave anyone alive.

Nugget, gonna

have to ask you

to step outside

again, okay?

I'm sorry about your wife.

It sounded like she was

a really nice person.

So I doubt the two of you

are going to end up

in the same place.

Look, um...

I know you're all

very upset.

I can -- I can tell --

I'm --

it's been -- it's been

a hell of a night, huh?

So here's what

I'm willing to do.

Just forget about

this whole situation.

And me and my man

will just pick up your sister

off the floor

and we'll go.

Okay?

Deal's a deal.

What do you say?

Come on.

That's not Ashley

on the floor.

It isn't?

Yeah, no, our first attempt

at the procedure

didn't go too well.

Tony forgot to tell us

to take the air out

of the IV tubes.

You ever see somebody die

of an embolism, Bob?

It's not quick.

It's not really fair

considering

that your friend k*lled

my girlfriend instantly.

But as my lovely sister

over here put it earlier...

f*ck fair.

Okay, I can save

you all.

I can save you.

I can save you

and your children.

I could have sworn you said

we were all doomed.

No, no, it's just

a matter of paperwork,

that's all, just -- I can write

something up

to cover for you.

You can cover us for

murdering a D.O.C.S. agent?

Yeah, yeah, I'll just

say that your father

reacted violently when --

when his wife departed

and took us by surprise.

That's actually happened.

My bosses will believe that.

And then when he calmed down,

he decided to go ahead

with the procedure

for his children's sake.

That part is true.

It's so true, right?

No, please.

Okay. Wait, wait, wait.

What about Dawn?

What about Dawn?

What about her?

We have our headquarters.

Yeah, yeah. We have--

I don't know

sh*t about that.

Okay, I'll bring Dawn

back to you.

You don't have to have

the procedure, you know.

Your family's given up enough.

Please don't push that.

Please don't push that.

You'll never see

her alive again.

They'll k*ll her

and it'll be on you.

It'll be all on you.

Come on.

Oh, hold on, hold on,

hold on, come on.

What don't you

people understand?

Huh? What? What?

There's a worldwide

crisis going on,

and I'm doing important work.

And you -- you -- you --

you -- you -- you -- you --

you're just a pieces

of human excrement

polluting the planet

with your every breath.

I don't deserve to die!

You deserve to die!

Not me!

You!

Week 40s enlisters

and Ashley York,

Friends for years,

the inseparable pair

It was a beautiful procedure,

ranked right up there

with the best of them.

Grace and Ashley,

a grateful nation thanks you.
