wiping off
the ice cream.
welcome to the Fort Matthews
memorial day parade.
Participating in our
memorial day parade...
Is the Maxwell air force base
drill team and color guard.
Fort Matthews is
under the command of
colonel Vincent p. Johnson.
Joining the military band,
we have the selma high
drum and bugle corps.
Today we are
honored to have...
Local veterans of
the first world war on hand.
Let's have a big
round of applause for
our patriotic doughboys.
Coming onto
the parade ground next...
Is our fine pratville high
marching band,
Playing "host of freedom."
They can't do this to daddy.
Mom, what are you doing?
You will burn in hell,
you lying son of a bitch!
You lying son of a bitch!
You think craziness
is hereditary?
I don't know,
But it's not exactly
something we could
ask either one of them.
Mommy,
what are we gonna do?
Here's yesterday's mail.
There's a letter here
for dad from Nevada.
Daddy.
Alex! Alex!
Alex, wake up.
Becky! Becky, get up.
Quickly!
Come on, girls.
Get up.
We're going on a trip.
Hurry up. Pack a bag.
Help your sister.
Get up!
It's the middle of the night.
We'll beat the traffic.
Thank you.
Girls, wake up!
I got some breakfast.
Eat up.
oh
sometimes I get
a good feeling, yeah
something's got
a hold on me, yeah
oh, it must be love
oh, something's got a hold
on me right now, child
oh, it must be love
let me tell you now
I've got a feeling
I feel so strange
everything about me
seems to have changed
step by step
mom, let's stop. Please?
no, baby.
We're not gonna stop.
we haven't slept
in two days.
I just can't sleep
till I get daddy out.
oh, hey, hey, yeah
oh, it must be love
you know it must be love
let me tell you now
something's got a hold
on me, yeah
oh, it must be love
oh, something's got a hold
on me right now, child
oh, it must be love
What are you gonna
say to 'em?
You can't just
walk up and say, "hello.
My name is Carly Marshall,
And you've been
contaminated."
How about, "howdy, howdy.
Sure is nice to meet
some real cowboys."
Didn't think there were
any of them left.
Maybe there aren't.
Maybe they're
already dead.
Oh, shut up.
hello there?
There's a lady out there.
She wants to talk to you.
My wife tells me
you're concerned
with our health.
Well, yes, I am.
Of course I am, but
mostly it's my husband.
You see, he was in
a helicopter that day.
He saw it.
- He tried to stop the test,
but it was too late.
- What's done is done.
The army, they're drugging him
and holding him against his will
in some mental hospital.
But you can help me.
How can we do that?
I was just hoping that
you would come with me
to the newspapers.
You see, you could
tell them just how sick
you've been...
And how nobody,
nobody even bothered
to come by here...
And explain to you
what had happened.
They would have
to understand that
my husband's not crazy.
He's not crazy at all.
Don't believe
we could do that.
It's true.
She's telling you the truth.
It ain't our way.
We don't like
to make a fuss.
That's right. 'sides,
there's gonna be
another one tomorrow.
For tomorrow morning,
about 10:00, 10:30, right?
I'll tell you what.
We're gonna be out here
working, right, nick?
If my government tells me
there's no danger,
Then, by god,
I got to believe them.
Why, that-
I don't mean to be rude,
but that is so stupid.
That is just plain stupid.
Mom, why don't we go?
Take this lady
back to the house
and tell her good-bye.
Come on, sweetie.
He's the boss.
Good luck.
we've got
the pilot's letter and
we've got dad's reports.
Why don't we go
to the newspapers
without the cowboys?
That's all we really need,
isn't it?
Mom?
Mom?
Mom?
Alex. Alex, wake up.
Alex, mom's gone.
welcome to
our underground bunker.
This is our test site today.
The tower is used
to drill deep enough...
To place the device
securely underground.
