Can you believe this shit?
Twenty-four hours a day.
Seven days a week.
- Don't listen to it.
- I worry about the kids.
The network shuts down the schools.
The kids are either in hiding
or getting basic training.
Brainwashed by the TV.
We can jam the network once we find
the uplink to the satellite.
- Then we'll broadcast the truth.
- The truth?
Hasn't been popular lately.
Can't find the code or the uplink.
I don't know where the network
hid something that big.
But they managed.
Stevie, would you mind?
Good-bye, my lovely.
You're one of the cops
who locked up all my friends.
Burned my songs.
People like you took this country
and turned it into a jail.
- We don't want his death on our hands.
- He's a cop.
- He's the Butcher of Bakersfield.
- Come on, Mic.
You can see through that crap.
It's network propaganda.
We don't know that.
We know we wouldn't be here
if he hadn't helped us.
- We also know he's not one of us.
- Perhaps now he's seen too much.
I've seen too much? All I've seen
is a bunch of low foreheads...
who think they can change the world
with dreams and talk.
It's too late for that.
If you're not ready to act,
give me a break and shut up.
Nothing worth losing
your head over, though, huh?
You got it.
Hey, get out of here!
Well, there's your ride.
It's all set.
Nothing like first class.
Come in.
Senorita, do you want to come in?
Yeah. Hey, you too!
I guess this is it.
Now you, Weiss, stay out
of the national database, okay?
And you, Laughlin, stop trying to teach
the Constitution to the street punks.
- See you at the 10-year reunion.
- You can still join us.
No, thank you. My brother's
gonna get me out of the city.
I'm not into politics.
I'm into survival.
Nowadays, it's the same thing.
Save it for the written test.
Good luck.
Yeah, for all of us.
We need you, Damon!
Brenda, do you have this week's ratings,
or do I have to guess?
They're the same as last week,
and those were the same last month.
I guess we've just peaked.
But it's not like we've dropped.
"Not like we..."
You're beautiful, sweetheart.
- Sorry, Mr. Killian!
- That's all right. What's your name?
- Dan.
