Terminus

Quickly please.

Quickly.

Rebirth.

Rebirth.

We're clear.

Sir, tell me what's happening.

Rebirth.

That's all he's been saying.

That's all he's been saying.

It means rebirth.

Rebirth.

Rebirth...

Rebirth of what?

You said he was blind.

Yes... he was.

Can you show me where it landed?

This is the place.

Be careful. Careful please.

It's okay.

Careful.

Be careful.

We're too late.

This place is changing.

Everyone in town's nervous, but...

like you say, nothing bad ever lasts, right?

Annie's coming to visit.

I was hoping we could take a road trip.

You'd be so proud of her, you know.

So proud.

Headlining news this morning,

protests continue around the nation

following approval of the President's draft bill

pledging over 100,000 additional troops to Operation Terminus,

the ongoing occupation of Iran.

Russian and Chinese Foreign Ministers

have intensified warnings against the United States

as the President maintains resolve.

Last week it was braces. Yesterday, Ritalin.

Trading stocks, man, that's my game.

- You assholes gonna do any work today? - Oh, yeah, we're over-friggin-whelmed here.

Hey.

J.C.'s Trans-Am needs a transmission overhaul.

New exhaust nitrogen in the tires.

- It's a long shot. - Yeah.

Three days to order the parts. Two days bank shuts us down.

22 years I've been helping this town run on wheels.

- Doesn't have to end like this, Ned. - You kidding me?

I'll be paying this shit-storm off for the next 22 years,

if I don't file Chapter 7 now.

We ain't asking for a handout. Boys'll put in the work, you know that, but...

- fuck, Ned, we need our jobs. - David... it's over.

Done.

Well, I'll see if Ramon's got any exhausts lying around.

Fix J.C.'s Trans-Am,

maybe that keeps the doors open another couple days.

Yeah. Do what you want.

She's something.

Yeah, she's a crying shame.

You the boss around here?

If you're looking for a job, you're in the wrong place. Tony, let's go.

I did three years as a field engineer with the ninth.

Yep.

I just need a chance.

We all do.

General Corazon estimates casualty rates to drop

once draft reinforcements complete training.

Jesus, Dad!

- I'm cutting you off. Just go home. - No.

Come on, Mickey.

- You can ride with me. Come on. - No.

Come on.

- You too, Mr. Chamberlain. - Come on. Last one.

As you can see...

the occupation relies on strategic strong- holds along the Afghan-Iranian border.

A swathe of Russian-endorsed guerilla fighters

continued across the Hindu Kush from Pakistan

to conduct raids on US bases.

H2O on the rocks.

Hey. Bourbon, double.

The daily casualty rate has risen to 23.

When'd the U.S. Army become target practice for Arabs and cannon fodder for Jews?

Should send me over. I'll teach 'em how to fight.

Bunch of goddamn pussies. Used to have standards. Now they'll take anyone.

Queers, Mexicans. Mexican queers. No wonder we're losing.

What the fuck would you know about it? Huh?

You should sign up. They'd love you.

Okay, princess...

let's go.

Goddamn Tyson. Here we go again.

Hey!

Come on, guys, leave him alone!

You son of a...

What the hell?

He's got a goddamn fake leg! He's a goddamn cripple. Shit!

Ah, man. Screw this. Let's get out of here.

Here.

Hey.

Get in.

Come on.

What did you think was gonna happen back there?

- How long were you over there? - You know what your problem is?

You're like every other hick in this town.

Full of opinions on things you know nothing about.

Scared shitless of losing what you think you have.

- And what's that? - A future.

- A future? - Yeah.

I'm not the one picking fights I know I can't win.

Asshole.

Pull in here.

Shit.

Guess you forgot.

What happened?

Accident. Looks worse than it is.

When'd you get in?

This afternoon, like we talked about.

I'll clean you up.

Lot of luggage for one week.

I'm staying.

How long?

You quit...

Why?

I don't want to talk about it, not while you're like this.

Like what? Disappointed? What happened? Some boy break your heart?

No.

Well, I didn't send you out there to quit, Annabelle.

I've been busting my ass every damn day in that shop so you can have a future.

I didn't quit.

Your last two payments didn't go through.

Shit.

I'm sorry.

I just need another week.

I'll call them, fix it.

- Forget it. - No, I'll take care of it.

No. Stop, I...

I don't want you working yourself to the bone...

not again.

You think she would've wanted this?

Don't tell me what she wanted.

Happy Birthday.

He didn't come home last night.

He's not answering his cell.

Sheriff, please. There's something seriously wrong. He wouldn't...

24 hours?

Ned?

I'm looking for my dad. He hasn't come home.

Neither has my wife. She took the Camaro.

Drove the boy to Canada.

She's afraid he'll get drafted.

Have you seen David?

Your dad's a good man.

Guys like him, they run on hope.

But...

you can't eat hope.

Hey.

We haven't got the chance to tell you.

Real sorry about your mom.

She was a good one.

Dad?

David.

Annabelle.

I don't mean to be insensitive

but I was kind of hoping you could answer a question for me.

Your mother underwent a kidney transplant at St. Luke's.

Your father is listed as the donor.

Her body rejected the transplant.

See, what I'm trying to understand is...

there must have been some kind of mistake.

The X-rays...

Your father has two perfectly functioning kidneys of his own.

We've just reached the point of no return.

Ultimatum from Russia and China changes everything.

- Not hungry? - And with no sign of the U.S....

...or Israel backing down.

In the hospital...

you kept calling her...

talking to her like she was right there.

I know it's been tough...

but we're only going to make it if we work at this together.

Okay?

Yeah.

There's a great deal of secrecy surrounding the General's next move.

But there are rumors that ground forces are making their way across the border

into Tehran in the coming days.

Air raids have already intensified...

and we have word that special forces troops

have infiltrated several critical outposts closer in

paving the way for aggressive ground attacks.

The first wave of US draft troops have arrived from training in Afghanistan

despite stern warnings from Russian, Chinese and French leaders.

David.

David.

Jane?

I miss you.

I know.

What's happening to me?

You remember the night I told you I was pregnant?

You said you didn't want to bring a child into this place...

but as long as we were together... there was always hope.

You have to create it.

There isn't much time...
