Breakout

I found it.

Look at that.

I can see it.

Jen, I know you feel I've abandoned you.

I know you're ashamed.

You need to know I believed in what I did.

And that I did it...

because you awakened me.

The words and thoughts... Come on, Daddy.

Of my beautiful little girl moved me.

Did it let my cause become so important

that it took me away from my family?

It did, and for that I'll always be sorry.

But I never stopped loving you. Not for one second.

I paid a price for doing what I believed was right.

And I know you and Mikey and your mom are suffering too.

You've grown into a beautiful young woman, Jen.

I want to make it better between us.

I want to be the father I haven't been.

Are we there yet? Yes, we are.

What happened, Daddy?

I don't know.

You have to protect the trees, Daddy.

Come on.

All right, clear the area.

Remember we're not here to fight.

If you feel threatened, take the ground,

curl up, and cover your head.

Had the roads all blocked there, Jack.

So how'd you and your merry pranksters get in?

We walked. You look good in a suit.

You used to dress like them. This is private property.

No, this is a conservation. This is all replant.

That's very astute of you... You cannot cut this down.

We own this land.

Understand? Fan out.

Okay, fan out.

So you go back to whatever mode of transport you were on.

Get your asses out of here.

Otherwise, the group of you are gonna be arrested.

Jack, come on. What?

What's the matter, Jack?

Got nothing better to do with your time?

Here's what I suggest. Help!

Take you and your granola friends out of here.

Help! Somebody!

Help! Get away!

Leave me alone! Get your hands off her.

Uhh!

Get up!

Hey, that's enough. That's enough.

You get to join the work detail this week, Jack.

Someone made a hell of a mess last night,

blocked a couple of roads down at Logan Park.

Crew is already out there, you'll be joining them.

Maria, can we push that CBB interview back to Friday?

I'll have to call them. Well, call them.

You got Jack.

The deal went through. Conpine got it?

They got all of it, and you didn't hear it from me.

Conpine just took the whole frigging reservation.

No referendum, midnight conveyance?

They can't do that. It's protest time.

Conpine is no lightweight.

You know what happened in Seattle.

What's that got to do with me?

What I'm saying is I don't want you to go in there.

I'm not just gonna sit here and let this go down.

I'm sorry, but I don't compromise.

You're putting your interest ahead of your family.

No, I am not.

Yes, you are.

You think those children wanna see their father in jail?

No one's going to jail.

Jack, I know Conpine far better than you do, okay?

This smells like a setup. Do not go in there.

Thank you, counselor.

I'm not gonna sit here and just let this go down.

You think those kids wanna see their father in jail?

I'm warning you.

Don't go in there, Jack.

Were they nice to you in jail?

Miss Lambrada was nice to me.

Does she know I'm gone? I'm not supposed to go anywhere.

Did you tell her you were taking me?

I sure did. That's good, Tommy,

I sure hope they were nice to you.

Wanna know where we're headed?

Someplace they can't bother you no more.

Canada.

That's nice, Canada. Canada, that's nice.

Yes, it is. Sault Ste. Marie.

How long is it gonna take to get there, Tommy?

Couple days.

We ain't driving nights.

I don't like driving at nights, Tommy.

I know.

Conpine needs to get this done now with Jack.

Right.

Bad press is dogging them.

But let's use it to our advantage.

When are you planning to see him?

Now.

Just get him to accept the deal.

I'll tell him you said so.

Let's get him out of jail.

Is it true? Is it true what we're hearing?

We don't know anything yet.

Is Jack gonna cut a deal with Conpine?

I'll get back to you within the hour.

You look nice.

Two major points of the deal.

First, no more slamming them in public.

Second, and this is a kicker,

they want you to consult for them.

They want me to work for them?

No, consult. What's the difference?

They've turned over a new leaf, ecologically speaking.

Why would they do that?

What does Conpine get out of this?

They're in talks with the government

to take over a vast tract of land in northern BC.

People are making noises about the company,

and they need to be better corporate citizens.

That'd be a complete sellout. No, it wouldn't.

Yes, it would. No, it wouldn't.

They'd probably get it anyway.

Here are the things we can do

to take advantage of the situation.

We can set up programs, corporate responsibility,

reforestation, school education,

environmental safeguards.

Did you say "we"?

I can get you out of here in two weeks.

That's three years early. I'd say that's a good deal.

So I just take the deal

and then they make all the charges go away?

As your attorney, I think you should take the deal.

What was it? Was it '85?

President Botha said to Mandela:

"You wanna get out of jail, then you just have to say:

'I tried to overthrow the government,

I was bad, I shouldn't have.'"

And then he gets to walk away.

He made him an offer.

Mandela turned him down, did 14 more years.

What do you want?

You wanna be a martyr? You wanna...? Is that it?

You wanna stay in here, be deified?

It's not like I had a choice.

Yes, you did, but you didn't listen.

Do you have any idea who's paying the price for this?

Our kids.

Jack, we have a daughter who has serious issues

and she needs help.

She needs both of us. She needs you.

Look, we may be separated, but you're still their father.

And those kids want you out of here.

So do I.

If I take the deal with Conpine,

are you willing to give us another try?

You ever talk to Mom?

Mom? I sure do miss her.

She's long dead, Kenny.

Do you miss her?

Hell, no.

I do.

What do you miss about her?

She was our mom.

You miss the beatings with the poker?

Listening to her turn tricks in the bed beside us?

You miss that? She cooked good.

And she was nice when she was nice.

She was never nice. She was bad.

I just miss her.

Hi, you've reached Jenny.

I'm not here, but leave a message.

I'll get back to you.

Come on, it's time to go.

Tommy, can I have this comic? It's really funny.

You want the comic book? Yeah.

You got it. Thanks.

Tommy said I could have this comic.

Uh, gas, chips, comic books, 37.52.

Hey, what's the matter with him?

He some sort of retard or something?

Keep the change.

Hey, you forgot your chips, sir.

Asshole.

Fuck it.

Hey!

What the hell you doing?

Get off me.

God, stop. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You ain't sorry, you're scared.

You have every right to be.

God shaped all of us the way we are.

All of us.

You bastard.

You fuck with my brother...
