[intense music playing]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

- [Bokushi] You good?

- [man] You look great.

[Bokushi] Thank you, I feel great.

How are we looking?

- How are we looking on time?

- [man speaks indistinctly]

[Bokushi] How are we looking on time?

We good?

- [man] Yeah, looks like we're on time.

- [Bokushi] All right, good.

That's good. Please, let's do it.

- Just let me know when you're ready.

- [man] And... the lights.

[Bokushi sighs]

[man] Yeah, I like you just like that.

[Bokushi] You like that? All right, good.

- [chuckling]

- [man] We gotta make sure

- we can sell it for the Program.

- Oh, yeah, we definitely gonna sell it.

Matter of fact, even if these cameras

weren't on, they'd feel it.

[man] That's perfect, yeah.

Do you prefer to be filmed

with or without the glasses?

Of course without the glasses.

They need to see my eyes.

I'm sincere about this. Could we, please?

Goddammit! Let's just sh**t it!

All this back and forth.

I got things to do.

- Brad, we good?

- [Brad] Yeah. Excellent.

All right, shades on or off? Off, right?

Gotta see my eyes.

[intense music playing]

[rain pattering]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[intense music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[motorcycle engine puttering]

[windshield wipers thudding]

[guards chattering indistinctly]

[suspenseful music playing]

[guard 1] He's coming around now.

[guard 2] All right, all right.

[guard 3] Open up those gates.

[truck engine revving]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Atlas] Bokushi, they're on time.

[Bokushi] Bring the children

through Falcon Protocol.

Okay, Shinjas, as rehearsed.

Let's go, come on. Come on, let's go.

Come on.

[intense music playing]

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music continues]

Hey, what's up? Man, you're early.

My guys don't get in till 9:30.

Ah, you know me, baby.

I always get sh*t done.

f*cking storm, man.

Almost took me down in Twin Falls.

Hail as big as my ba*ls,

rocking the whole truck.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Mama Suki]

That's right, come on. Hurry up.

[man]

Sign me up for some more gigs, man.

[door banging]

[breathing heavily]

[doors bang]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[phone line ringing]

Hello?

Cancel my order. He knows.

Hello?

- [Mama Suki speaking indistinctly]

- Hello?

Can you hear me?

[phone line disconnects]

f*ck.

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[ominous music playing]

Oh, my God. What the f*ck?

[man on radio] Stand by.

Stay sharp.

[radio static crackling]

[tense music playing]

- [commander shouting indistinctly]

- f*ck!

[suspenseful music swelling]

[Luke panting]

[intense music playing]

[gas hissing]

The US trains young men and women

how to aim at and k*ll a stranger.

Sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

We just send these broken warriors home.

We slap a label on them, PTSD,

and we turn our backs.

But they are fractured human beings

that we have failed.

- [gas hissing]

- [gagging]

Until now. Until the Program.

You see, I was broken.

I had seen the worst of man,

but I got tired.

I got tired of popping pills.

I got tired of sleeping with my g*n.

I got tired of thinking about

putting that g*n in my mouth.

[engine roaring]

You see, I'm the proof

that we can live again

and the Program works.

The only variable...

is you.

[engine revving]

- [screams]

- [tires screech]

Ah, f*ck.

[tense music playing]

[pensive music playing]

[Nash] Some days...

I don't know how I keep going.

My mind is filled with things that...

I don't want to remember.

Trauma feeds on you

like a disease.

And then...

even if it's just for a moment...

life is unbearable.

But this wasn't me

not letting go of my past.

This was my past not letting go of me.

[reporter on TV] Federal agents

are in an active standoff

with the armed group known as the Program.

Nancy Glass begins our coverage.

Good evening, in just moments,

we're expecting the FBI

to hold a press conference.

This is after an HRT team,

executing an arrest warrant

for a former high-ranking naval officer,

were met with deadly force.

And for those unfamiliar with the Program,

we've obtained a promotional video

shown to new members upon joining.

[Bokushi]

The US trains young men and women

to aim at and k*ll strangers.

[man]

Should have taken care of him years ago.

And now here we are,

48 hours and it's Waco all over again.

There's a fine line

between genius and insanity.

Name's Emmanuel Ashburn.

Hmm, not real friendly, are you?

You're not my friend.

Well, I'm just chatting it up,

Sergeant Cavanaugh.

Or should I call you Nash?

Just wanted to have a little talk

about your old friend Bokushi over there.

That what this is?

That's usually how it works.

I say something, you say something.

We go back and forth

until we run out of things to say, yeah.

Hmm.

Oh. We're there.

[TV reporter] The FBI has made it clear

the Bokushi has 48 hours

to peacefully surrender,

or federal officers

will breach the compound walls.

[crickets chirping]

[Nash] All right, kids.

I want you to meet your mother

when she was young.

Say something to our kids.

Our kids?

Well, we've known each other

like, what, three weeks?

[Nash] Best three of my life.

All right, I want it on the record

that I said it first.

[Evoli] No, off the record.

I love you.

[tender music playing]

[speaking French]

[birds tweeting]

[tense music playing]

You're drinking again?

Can tell by just looking in my eyes?

I could smell it oozing through your skin.

I'm worried.

About you.

I'm fine. I'm not gonna hurt myself.

[Dr. Geanopulos]

Why did you make an appointment today?

VA disability.

Yeah, and, uh, I can't collect

without my annual.

You've dealt

with a lot of trauma in the w*r,

and then again when you lost your wife.

But Evoli's death was an accident.

That I caused.

You have to forgive yourself,

or you'll never heal.

[poignant music playing]

- [truck reverse signal beeping]

- [machinery whirring]

Oh, what are you doing here?

Oh, come on.

Is that any way to greet an old friend?

Don't give me that bullshit.

I know you're with that Ashburn guy.

- Affirmative.

- Why?

Why? 'Cause I'm a soldier.

The answer is no.

See, I told Ashburn, I told him

that's what exactly you were gonna say.

Oh, really? Good, well, you tell Ashburn,

you have no clue what you're up against.

No, I got a pretty good idea, okay?

'Cause we had an informer

on the inside helping us.

My job was to get the HRT guys in

and the poor woman out,

and it got f*cked up, okay?

So the Bokushi hung her

like a f*cking piata.

I don't want any part of this,

you hear me?

Nash, look, you don't have

to take orders from me anymore,

but there's something you need to see.

It has to do with Evoli.

[poignant music playing]

That psycho left 'em

in a cattle truck, engine running,

before he k*lled off six FBI agents

and nearly blew me to pieces.

And then he let them go,

knowing that the battle was coming home.

And it bought him what? Forty-eight hours?

And not to mention some good publicity.

And this girl,

this girl was amongst the kids.

Said she had a message for Shinja Nash.

She asked for me?

You sure?

Yeah. Yeah.

Why, you know her?

[Nash] No.

She wasn't even born

when I was in the Program.

[solemn music playing]

They said you asked for me.

Are you Shinja Nash?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm Nash.

[ethereal music playing]

You were a Shinja?

A disciple of the Bokushi?

Yeah.

I had to find you...

and give you this.

Mama Suki said it was from

someone important to you.

[gentle music playing]

[Nash] "They say that only those

who are mentally and spiritually complete

can draw a true Enso."

[Nash and Evoli] "This is ours,

incomplete, waiting for you."

[Evoli]

"It is the ultimate symbol of our love."

"You must close the circle, my love."

"Then you will find the true

expression of our hearts...

- for you and I make one Enso."

- [Nash] "One Enso."

Ma-Mama Suki told you to give me this?

She said you would understand.

[Nash] Just the possibility of her

awakened something in me.

Like the first time

she appeared in my life,

before the Bokushi's teachings darkened.

When the prospect of redemption

still seemed attainable.

- My Shinjas!

- [crowd cheers]

How you feel, huh?

[laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

[screaming]

[soulful music playing]

Sisters

Brothers and the whities

Blacks and the crackers

Ooh

Police and their backers

Top billing now is k*lling

For peace no one is willing

Huh

Everybody's smoke

But they don't know

[laughs]

There can be no show

If there's hell below

We're all gonna go

- [fireworks popping]

- [crowd cheering]

[gentle music playing]

[fireworks whistling]

- [Bokushi] I feel like giving out money.

- [Shinjas] Yeah!

Huh? Can I give out some money?

I got $50, who wants it?

- [crowd shouting]

- [Bokushi] Fifty dollars.

Now what if I dropped it on the ground,

stepped on it, disrespected it,

pissed on it, sh*t on it,

would you still want it?

Yes.

[Bokushi] Why?

Because no matter what you do to it,

it still has its worth.

- You've been broken.

- [all cheer]

You have been beaten.

You have been pounded over and over again.

But you know what, m*therf*cker?

You have still not lost any of your worth!

[crowd cheering]

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music continues]

- Sorry.

- [glass shatters]

[Nash]

For the first time in a long time,

I could sense hope.

Even if it was only a distant drumbeat

echoing through the darkness.

[thunder rumbling]

[Luke] What?

She's the only one

that could have written that letter.

The Enso was our thing.

Okay. Okay, so what are you saying?

I don't know, man.

I was unconscious for two days

after that crash, man.

I barely even remember the accident.

And then I had some sheriff tell me

that she drowned in the river.

Said they returned her body

back to the Program.

Why? Why would they do that?

I know, I know, I know.

There's one sure way of finding out

if she's still alive or not.

And that's going back to the compound.

Come on, man, you gotta help us, huh?

You're the only one who knows that place.

Man, come with us.

Huh? What do you say?

[solemn music playing]

[rain pattering]

[Ashburn] Why don't you take a seat.

Who's your team?

I'm a Phillies guy.

I could talk your ear off

about Mike Schmidt,

Pete Rose, Steve Carlton.

But you know who really gets my respect,

is the pinch hitter.

That's a guy who takes a job

that nobody wants.

Nobody.

I mean, think about it.

You're sitting there...

daydreaming about what

you're gonna order for room service,

or the chick you're gonna

bring home that night.

And then, boom, all of a sudden,

a 92-mile-an-hour baseball

comes straight at your head,

and you got a split second to decide

whether it's gonna break or not.

Good luck.

No one faces longer odds

than the man who sat idle on the bench,

and all of a sudden

is summoned to bat for his team.

Evoli.

That's your wife, right?

What if your wildest dream is true?

What if she's still alive there?

What a shame it would be

if she became another casualty.

Things can get pretty ugly on these raids.

This is Sergeant Major Kollock.

He's in charge of this unit.

That's Jackson.

He's a SEAL Lieutenant Commander.

[Nash]

You boys don't get it, do you?

He knows everything you're gonna do

before you even decide

you're gonna f*cking do it.

We both need something here.

This is the last chance

for you to save her life

before all hell breaks loose.

We move before the FBI

can screw things up.

Cut off the head, the body will die.

We slip in and we take out the Bokushi.

[Nash] Even the possibility

that Evoli was still alive

was enough to drown out the voice

telling me there wasn't

any length they wouldn't go to

for my cooperation.

But, hell, at least I had a purpose again.

The reason you in front of me right now

is because the system failed you.

[chuckles]

Failed you.

When conventional solutions don't work,

we use unconventional solutions.

I'm the unconventional solution.

PTSD is a choice.

I know, I know.

I know, that's a tough pill to swallow.

That's hard to digest.

But what would you lose if you believed

that for just one second,

that all the power that you need

to change is inside you,

and it's been there the whole damn time?

Who's bold enough right now?

I'm willing to give up

my life for your life.

[intense music swelling]

- No.

- Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

You all right?

- [heart beating]

- [sighs]

My name's Evoli.

[heart beating]

It's gonna be okay.

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music continues]

[Nash] An extreme threat

requires extreme measures.

So they sent in a madman to stop a madman.

But where there once was a warrior,

there was now only the husk

of a soldier...

with unseen wounds

deeper than any that bleed.

[Bokushi] My people, at this time,

I need you to open

your hearts and your minds.

Because at times,

the act of living can be suffocating!

I know. I know.

I know.

Because the trauma we've been fed,

it leaves us with nothing but broken minds

that have been shattered

into millions of pieces.

But if you can hear my heart,

know that hope...

is redeemed.

Hope is redeemed.

I know that your body is aching.

Every step taken feels like

your bones are what?

Like they're breaking!

But still...

what do we do, huh?

What do we do?

We march on.

- What do we do? Say it.

- [Shinjas] We march on!

March on.

Do they respect you?

I said, do they respect you?

Right now, the only thing

a military uniform gets you

is "thank you for your service"

and priority on a plane.

Shinja Nash...

attack me.

What?

To think is to lose, Shinjas.

To think is to lose.

Shinja Evoli, take my place, please.

Attack.

[Nash grunts]

[crowd chuckles]

- [man] Damn.

- sh*t.

[Evoli grunting]

Hey, try that with me.

[grunting]

[Bokushi] Come here, come here.

[coughing]

Disobedience

is worse than...

than death itself.

[dramatic music playing]

[Nash]

They figured I knew how he thought.

But no one knows how he thinks.

How could they?

He was the embodiment of corrupted power,

a homegrown threat,

a self-proclaimed messiah

willing to unleash hell

in pursuit of a warped utopia.

Hey, Nash, you know there's no guarantee

she's still alive, right?

You gotta believe me,

what happened in that river

is not your fault.

[pensive music playing]

[Nash] The FBI standoff

was to end at sundown.

We had to get in before they breached.

The feds had to play by the rules.

But that wasn't

what was being asked of us.

What we were there to do

would be sanctioned by no agency.

And taking the Bokushi prisoner,

that was no longer an option.

I knew the compound,

knew the tunnels, the shadows.

A reluctant tour guide

back into a place I once called home.

[pensive music continues]

I was returning to a hell

I thought I'd never see again.

[Evoli laughing]

[gentle acoustic music playing]

But in trying to heal a fractured mind...

you find pieces of yourself...

you forgot ever existed.

I want to marry you.

You want to marry me?

[Nash] Mm-hmm.

Nobody has to know but us.

Sure. Why not?

[Nash] Do you, Evoli Carmichael,

promise to love, honor, and obey...

- [chuckles] Obey?

- Obey...

Nash Cavanaugh,

in sickness and in health,

till death do us part?

Yes, I do.

- Yeah?

- Very much.

[Nash] And do I, Nash Cavanaugh,

promise to love,

honor and obey you...

Evoli Carmichael?

I do. I do very, very much.

Now.

Now I can kiss the bride.

[water trickling]

[intense music]

[no audio]

Boo!

[laughs]

Chill, man, relax.

[laughing] Relax, just chill out.

It's just a joke.

You can put the uniform on

and salute our flag,

but I know what you are.

You're a crazy-a*s cult m*therf*cker.

[sizzling]

[reporter on TV]

Negotiators have reached a stalemate,

and the situation right now is tense.

Unconfirmed reports

have come in that the FBI

intends to take the compound

by force this evening.

We turn now to our very own Talia Fields

who has been covering this story

on the ground.

It's been three days,

and there's no signs of tensions easing

inside these concrete walls.

The FBI has halted delivery

on all food and water

in a clear effort

to stranglehold the compound.

- [Yates] What the f*ck, everybody, huh?

- Can you tell me where Yates is?

[Yates] Who's in charge

of jamming the RF drones?

- [HRT Captain] Working on it.

- Work the f*ck harder!

- Are you Yates?

- Yeah.

Sergeant Major Kollock,

Special Forces Operation Detachment Delta.

- Ashburn said he briefed you on my team?

- [Yates] Help me up.

Yeah, I spoke to Ashburn.

He's out of his f*cking mind, okay?

He doesn't know his head from his as*h*le.

I spoke to the f*cking guy already.

And what c*ck did Ashburn have to suck

to buy him 48 hours,

can you tell me that?

'Cause I feel like we should

let the Jonestown m*therf*ckers

drink their own Kool-Aid.

Those are veterans

in there, just like us.

Got a fruitcake here.

Why didn't anybody tell me

you had a fruitcake in your crew?

'Cause I don't even know

what you're here to do, okay?

We're ghosts to each other, got it?

You ain't never seen me.

I ain't never seen you.

So do whatever the f*ck you gotta do,

but we're going in at sunset, okay?

[dramatic music playing]

- [fist banging]

- [Bokushi] Nash!

Hop in.

Protocol, man.

See, I have to sanction

every relationship in this program.

I, uh...

Yes, sir.

You don't have to call me, sir.

We the same, baby.

You know?

Nobody's better.

Bleed like you, sh*t like you.

Like them girls like you.

[starts engine]

[engine rumbling]

No, you ain't got to call me sir.

That was OS for the old

Green Machine, you know?

That's in your rearview mirror now.

You see that right there?

That's your past.

Now we're going

into the open road of your future.

You have earned...

you earned the right to intimacy.

Time will tell if Shinja Evoli is the one.

But I'll be the one to make that decision.

Got thousands of people yearning

for my attention, but where am I?

I'm here, talking to Nash Cavanaugh.

Why is that?

Because I see

echoes of myself in you.

You got greatness in you, Nash.

I can see it.

So you want to be in the Program.

Ah, you thought you was already

in the Program, huh?

Uh-uh.

Participation medals,

do not make you a man.

Hard choices...

easy life.

Easy choices,

hard life.

Make good choices.

- [tires screeching]

- [engine roaring]

Self-actualization is a choice.

- Oh!

- You want in, right?

- Yes.

- [Bokushi] Huh, do you want in?

- Yes.

- [Bokushi] So you want in?

[Nash] Yes!

[tires squeal]

That was fear.

But fear...

is not a choice.

[dramatic music playing]

[fireworks popping]

[dramatic music playing]

[Evoli speaking French]

[Nash]

She could be alive behind those walls.

Or maybe she died years ago.

Maybe all this was just...

them sacrificing the pawn

to bring down the king.

[automated voice]

Perimeter breach detected,

southern courtyard.

[alarm chirping]

[gas hissing]

[dramatic music playing]

[man] Today...

you will be tested

because they have come.

The maker tried to destroy his creation.

We cannot subject ourself to the will

and whim of people

who push into our house,

take what they want,

leave when they please.

We sacrifice today to protect our rights,

our home.

[Shinjas] Fight or die standing!

[man]

Okay, access is 20 yards on your left.

Down this way. Go.

Keep moving. Stairwell's up ahead.

[Kollock] Cover him. Cover him.

[eerie music playing]

[Nash] To a damaged psyche,

control is a comfort.

Now people don't get

how subtle that can be.

And once you have

a hold on someone's mind...

you don't need anything else.

[dramatic music playing]

[children laughing]

[baby crying]

[baby crying]

[baby crying]

- [flesh sizzling]

- [baby shrieks]

What is this place?

[Nash] They call it the hatchery.

At six months old,

parents give up their kids

to be raised by the Program.

Jesus Christ.

[thudding]

[footsteps thudding softly]

[woman]

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Please.

Please don't sh**t us, please.

- Please.

- You by yourself?

Yeah, it's just two of us.

It's just us two.

It's just the two of us.

The Bok-, the Bokushi sent the kids out,

but she came and she found me,

and by then it was too late.

I didn't know

what he was gonna do to them.

I need to get her out of the compound.

- I want to stay with you, Mommy.

- [woman] Okay. I know.

How does she know who you are?

[girl] You aren't Shinjas.

I heard you talking.

I used to live here.

[Luke] Hey, Jackson, get a look at this.

I'm looking for my wife.

What's her name?

- Ev--

- [expl*si*n]

- [woman screams]

- [debris sifting]

[Nash] You know the break

in the fence down by the river?

- [woman] Yes.

- That's your best bet of getting out.

The FBI, they're coming.

[suspenseful music playing]

[g*nf*re]

[expl*si*n]

[g*nf*re]

- [explosions]

- [Shinjas screaming]

- [alarm blaring]

- Give me the g*n!

[grunts]

Where's the Bokushi?

[chuckles] I'd never forget that voice.

Where is he?

Where's Evoli?

f*ck you.

[both grunting]

[body thudding]

- [alarm blaring]

- [helicopter rotors beating]

[both grunt]

[g*nshots]

[alarm blaring continuous]

sh*t!

[screams]

[both grunting]

[both yelling]

- [g*nsh*t]

- Ah!

[both grunting]

Where is she?

[Evoli screams]

Come on! Where is she? Huh?!

You're gonna f*cking tell me

what I want to know.

- Where is she?

- [g*nshots]

[groaning]

- Come on! Tell me!

- [Atlas] f*ck.

What happened to her?

He always said you would come back.

[both grunt]

I want answers. I want answers.

- [rumbling]

- [debris sifting]

[Atlas yells]

[ominous music playing]

[alarm blaring continuous]

Bokushi, FBI have breached the front gate.

It's time.

- [g*nf*re]

- [man] Go, go, go!

[g*nshots]

Go! Come on! Move up! Move up!

[drill whirring]

[intense music playing]

[Shinja] Honor till death!

[screams]

- [Shinjas screaming]

- [explosions]

- [g*nshots]

- [groans]

- [man 1] Man down! I need a medic!

- [man 2] Get her out of here!

- [alarm blaring continuous]

- [g*nf*re]

[grunts]

[man] Watch your backs!

- [b*llet ricochets]

- [gasps]

[menacing music playing]

- [b*ll*ts whizzing]

- sh*t. God...

[expl*si*n]

[g*nf*re]

- [pilot screams]

- [alarm beeping]

[pilot shouting indistinctly]

- [grunts]

- [alarm beeping]

[g*nf*re exploding]

[ears ringing]

[vocalist singing in French]

[Evoli] You shouldn't be here.

You know he hasn't approved

our relationship.

So, this is the color

of your dreams, huh?

[Evoli] Well, the forecast

is for pink sunrises.

[vocalist continues singing in French]

[Nash] I can't be away from you anymore.

[Evoli sighs]

- I can't.

- [Evoli] Shh.

I don't know what's happening to me.

It feels like I'm scared

about what I feel for you.

I mean, this place

starts to feel like a prison.

Why do we have to fall in love

in the one place we can't be together?

[gentle music playing]

[g*nshots and explosions]

[glass shattering]

[rumbling]

[vocalist singing in French]

- [g*nshots]

- [glass shattering]

[Luke]

Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on!

Come on, soldier, let's go!

[Nash] Wait! Wait!

Almost got k*lled looking for you.

[Nash grunts]

What the f*ck is that?

What are you gonna do?

Nothing, you want to know why?

'Cause you're a scared little Shinja b*tch

who's whining about his dead girl.

You f*cking pig f*ck!

Cool off, man! Cool off.

- All done.

- Okay.

[g*nf*re]

[men screaming]

[Kollock and Luke speaking indistinctly]

[alarm blaring continuous]

[Kollock] No as*ault. We're clear.

[Jackson] Clear.

[Luke]

All clear. Check the other rooms.

[door creaking]

[Nash] sh*t.

- [feedback squealing]

- [Nash groans]

[Bokushi over loudspeaker]

Welcome back, Nash.

So sad how it ended up for you.

Fear and regret have eaten you alive.

[Nash]

Where is she, huh? Where is she?

[Bokushi] Where is she?

She's where you should be.

Where you were destined to be.

Come on, you coward.

What happened to her?

[Bokushi] He made the right choice

sending you in here.

He saw in you what I saw in you.

A born leader.

- Selfless.

- Who?

[Bokushi] You ain't figured it out yet?

Still can't see

beyond the illusion, can you?

Did you like Ashburn's speech

about playing for your team, hmm?

You know that m*therf*cker

stole that from me.

Who do you think funded the Program?

Paid for my weapons?

This is the beginning of the end.

If there's a hell below,

you're all gonna go.

You m*therf*cker.

[Bokushi]

Time's just about up, Shinja.

- [glass shattering]

- [Bokushi laughs]

[Nash groaning]

[Nash] Why the f*ck would Ashburn

be working with the Bokushi?

Or is this more of his

psychological manipulations?

Some kind of sadistic revenge

for my betrayal.

[Lido] Stay there! I told you!

I told you to f*cking stop!

- You f*cking stand down!

- Put your g*ns down!

- Put your g*n down, m*therf*cker.

- This is a zero-sum game.

You're not f*cking Shinjas.

Back up, back the f*ck up!

- Lower your weapons.

- You lower your weapons.

Lower your weapons now.

- Put your g*ns down.

- Lower your weapons now.

- Now!

- Come on. We don't want to k*ll you.

Just relax.

Relax-- Hey, hey.

I'm putting this g*n on the ground.

- [Luke] What are you doing?

- [Nash] Putting my g*n on the ground.

[Luke]

Hey, what are you doing? That's crazy.

- Luke, please!

- Nash, what the f*ck are you doing?

I know you, okay?

I know your pain.

You don't know me.

You know nothing about me.

You! You guys brought death here.

You, you f*cking brought death!

Own up! Own up! It was f*cking you guys!

[foreboding music playing]

Look what's going on here.

We're all gonna burn.

We're all gonna burn in f*cking hell!

- It's gasoline.

- Nash, we gotta get the f*ck out of here.

Look at me!

Get up!

Kollock, this is falling apart.

What's the f*cking plan?

- Hold!

- Back the f*ck up! Get away from me!

The Bokushi's gonna take

this whole place down.

- Honor till death!

- [Shinjas] Honor till death!

- Shut the f*ck up!

- [Nash] I'm Nash Cavanaugh.

Block one, rank gold.

Okay?

I came here to find my wife, Evoli.

All I came back here is my f*cking wife!

I knew Evoli.

Please tell me she's alive.

Yeah. Yeah.

She's alive. The Bokushi, he took Evoli

with all the other ones chosen to survive,

the ones who are gonna

carry out the mission.

Just, uh, slow down.

What's your name, brother?

What's your name?

Are you talking about Eutierra?

I was Lido Rossi.

Block three,

rank red.

- No! No, no!

- [g*nsh*t]

- [g*nf*re]

- f*ck!

Cease fire! Cease f*cking fire!

This whole place will blow!

Move! Move! Go! Go!

[intense music playing]

He's gone, man.

We gotta go.

Honor till death.

This. This leads to the river.

- [Luke grunts]

- [Jackson] Come on! Let's go!

[intense music swelling]

- sh*t!

- [Nash] Come on, jump!

[Jackson screams]

[man screaming]

[explosions]

[hatch door creaking and slamming]

[explosions]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Shinja screams]

[dramatic music playing]

[tires screeching]

[thunder crashes]

[dramatic music swelling]

[Bokushi grunts]

[wind whistling]

[Bokushi] Eutierra!

Eutierra!

The prefix "eu," E-U,

from the root word euphorus, meaning?

[Shinjas] Good!

Root word tierra,

meaning of the soil or...?

[Shinjas] Earth!

[Bokushi] It is Eutierra that we seek.

There you will find the answers,

for you have been blessed

with a sacred duty

to usher in a new era of purity

to a world that caused you so much pain.

We are the bearers of this salvation.

This...

Shinjas,

is true freedom!

It's not destruction we seek,

but transformation.

Eutierra is where we make

our righteous stand.

The final chapter.

Shinja Nash!

Plunge thyself.

Baptism, getting rid of the old you,

reaching the new you.

Oh, sh*t.

[dramatic music playing]

[reporter on TV] This has been

a very dramatic series of events.

We don't know when it happened

or how it happened, exactly,

because there's been so much confusion.

But we are hearing that the administration

is now telling senior members of Congress

that it believes

the Bokushi has been k*lled.

[man on TV] We will not tire,

we will not falter...

- [water running]

- ...and we will not fail in our quest

to defeat those who intend

to do us harm...

- [g*nsh*t]

- [Ashburn screams]

...through acts of terror.

[groaning]

[gasps]

[groaning]

Keeping us in the dark backfired,

wouldn't you say?

f*ck off.

Huh?

[groaning]

What were you doing with the Bokushi?

[groaning] I was gonna ask you

the same question. f*ck you.

Oh! f*ck me?

f*ck you.

Ah! f*ck you!

Don't worry, if there's a hell below,

we're all gonna go!

[screams]

You're gonna like this, huh?

Whoo!

There you go!

[laughs]

You hear that, Ashburn? Huh?

[water bubbling]

Hell below! We're all gonna go!

- [Ashburn grunts]

- Talk, old man.

[Ashburn panting]

[Ashburn] You don't need...

you don't need to humiliate me.

I love America.

I put my f*cking life on the line for her.

[laughs]

That makes two of us.

Why?

Why?

I knew Leon, your Bokushi,

back when he was just a kid from Texas.

He wasn't anything.

I saw that he cared

about those soldiers the way you do.

So I got him his funding

from the US government

because I believed he was really helping.

I thought together, we could put

decommissioned resources--

Veterans!

[breathing heavily]

Veterans.

Humans.

Human soldiers. Say it.

Human soldiers to maximum use.

Fix you up, send you back out.

But the Bokushi had a bolder idea.

He went rogue,

seeking vengeance against the government

for the trauma they caused the soldiers.

Arresting him would've only empowered him.

You can't cage a bird like that.

And now I'm out here flapping in the wind,

having funded this lunatic.

It's over for me.

But you got one last shot,

because the Bokushi sure as sh*t

wasn't in there, kid.

- How did you know?

- Because I trained the son of a b*tch.

The Program was the future.

He created it. I nurtured it.

And he just thought he could walk away.

If he was gonna just escape...

why would he burn it all to the ground?

He needed something so atrocious,

so grand, so believable...

That no one would go looking for him.

I feel for you, kid.

Nothing can be sanctioned till

they figure out he's not in the rubble.

But if you know where he went,

odds are she's there too.

The Bokushi is the master of illusion.

And if everyone believes the illusion,

it becomes reality.

Bokushi thinks he's won the game.

But he didn't count on the pinch hitter.

[Nash]

You know, I just look at your face...

[French music playing over record]

...I feel lucky.

[Evoli] You look at my face

and you feel lucky?

[Nash] I do.

[vocalist singing in French]

[Evoli sighs]

- Hey.

- Huh?

What's wrong?

What is it?

I'm pregnant.

I don't want to f*ck this up, Nash.

He'll know it's yours.

He'll separate us, and...

and it'll be t*rture.

[scoffs]

I mean, I don't even...

- Pregnant?

- I want us to raise our child

in a safe environment,

not with the Mama Sukis

and their soldier stories.

- Okay.

- I want our baby to be free.

What do you want to do?

We stay here.

We fight him. We change things.

- What?

- Yes. You take over.

- No, that's crazy. Listen to me.

- Yes, we'll be free.

Do you understand?

[Nash] I get it,

but maybe it's time that we leave.

There's another chapter, you know?

- Where?

- Anywhere.

We don't know how to function

outside of the Program.

That was before, okay?

That was before us.

But this is our home.

No.

This, this is my home.

You're my home.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay?

[dramatic music continuous]

[engine turning]

[sighs]

We're good.

- Yeah.

- [Nash exhales]

[sighs]

- Right?

- [chuckles]

[laughs] Jeez.

[exhales]

[Evoli] Yeah.

Hey.

We did it.

[laughs]

[sighs]

[Evoli sighs and chuckles]

- What is it?

- [vehicle engine revving]

- [loud thud]

- [both] Whoa.

What the...

[horn honking]

Nash!

- [metal crunching]

- [glass shattering]

[screaming]

[birds screeching]

[wind whooshing]

[engine revving]

[gentle music playing]

[screams]

[foreboding music playing]

[Nash] If it was all a smokescreen,

if the Bokushi had really evaded us...

well, then there was only one place

that I was going to find him.

[engine purring]

[ominous music playing]

[beeping]

If Evoli was there...

then I was leaving with her.

Or not leaving at all.

Eutierra.

He had finally built his temple mount.

A new home for his radicalized followers

he deemed deserving.

A place to work in the shadows.

Readying themselves

to execute his vendetta

against a government that had discarded us

like yesterday's trash.

His intentions loomed dark,

like a storm gathering on the horizon.

[tense music playing]

[Bokushi] ...responsible to face

the consequences of their actions.

In the coming days,

each of you have enrolled

in our operation.

Our resolve is unwavering.

Some of you,

you're gatherers of information.

If you take assistance,

trust us in exposing the corruption.

Others take their chances...

[Bokushi continues indistinctly]

Hands.

Let me see them.

You're not gonna sh**t me.

No, he's saving that for himself.

He will create a version of you

he wants them to see.

[Bokushi] Ah!

The moth to the flame.

Welcome to Eutierra!

Just give me Evoli

and I'll walk out of here.

I must be missing something.

Are we missing something?

He actually feels like

he's in a position to negotiate.

[Nash] Please.

Please.

[Bokushi] You want me to be the villain,

don't you, Nash?

Hmm?

You want me to be the villain.

The bad guy.

Disruptor.

'Cause it's easier

than you just looking

in the mirror at yourself.

I saved her from the crash,

from drowning in that river.

I did that, Nash.

I did it because either you couldn't,

or you wouldn't do it.

You know why?

'Cause all those doubts

that you have about yourself,

all those demons

that are whispering in your ear...

they're all true.

It's all true.

We came to you for f*cking help.

And you got it!

And what did I get, huh?

A bunch of m*therf*cking disloyalty.

Am I right?

[Nash] Hmm.

If you don't give her to me right now,

one of us isn't leaving here.

Now that's the Nash I know.

Take this m*therf*cker to the arena.

[Shinjas chattering indistinctly]

[discordant music playing]

[Bokushi chuckling]

You let love blind you!

You thought you was planning

on having happy forever under my roof?

[laughs]

I'm gonna kick your f*cking teeth

out your mouth.

- This is insane.

- What the f*ck are you talking about?

I'm not the idiot to walk into the belly

of the m*therf*cking whale!

[drums beating]

[beeping]

[Bokushi] Here I stand!

Let's test the mettle of this man.

Come on!

[both yelling]

[Shinjas cheering]

[ears ringing]

[both grunting]

I took back the baby

that belonged to me.

You deserve a grand death, Nash!

- Or rather, they deserve a grand death.

- [Shinjas cheering]

- Come on, Nash!

- [Nash yelling]

Come on!

[both yelling]

[Shinjas cheering]

[Bokushi] You got nothing now!

The student...

[drums beating]

...humbled by the teacher.

[Shinjas cheering]

[laughs]

Yeah, I like that, Nash.

[both grunting]

He's the illusion!

He needs you!

You do not need him!

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

- Come on. Come on.

- [both grunt]

[both grunting]

Tin soldier, that's what you are.

Poured when the tin was short.

You don't have enough mettle

in you to make you whole.

[Nash yells]

Stay down!

Stay the f*ck down!

- Come on.

- What you want, Nash?

You ain't tired

of getting your a*s whupped?

[Shinjas cheering]

[drums beating]

[both grunting]

[Shinjas cheering]

[Nash groaning]

[Bokushi yelling]

All you see is her.

[Shinjas cheering]

This what you want, huh?

All you see is her.

[grunts]

[Shinjas cheering]

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

[Bokushi] Stay the f*ck down.

Come on.

[both yell and grunt]

[drums beating]

[Shinjas cheering]

[groaning]

[Evoli] Nash!

Evoli!

[indistinct chattering]

Nash!

Evoli!

Evoli!

[Evoli] Nash!

[panting] Nash.

Nash!

[poignant music playing]

Nash!

Nash!

[beeping]

[melancholic music playing]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[melancholic music continuous]

[water bubbling]

[acoustic music playing]

[Nash] Losing her once more,

watching her slip through my fingers

and into that river...

that was something I knew

I could not survive again.

[pensive music playing]

How could the same nightmare

happen twice?

Evoli!

Evoli!

This time, I hoped to take me with her.

[tense music playing]

[uplifting music playing]

[Nash] Hard choices,

easy life.

Easy choices,

hard life.

That...

That'll forever be cemented in my mind.

But life, you know, I don't know,

not always that clear-cut, right?

I mean, even at its fullest, it's, uh...

Rarely is it ever easy.

And, um...

you just wake up...

every day.

Try to complete the circle, you know?

Try to heal.

And, um...

some days, it's not gonna go your way.

But some days, it is.

Some days, it is gonna go your way.

And...

then you gotta just keep fighting.

And you fight to find those little pieces

that complete you.

And you never stop fighting.

Because...

Because every once in a while,

you find that there's a moment...

when life really is perfect.
