5-10 Safe in My Arms

0:00This is Dave Roberts. If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk most people don't think about until it's too late. Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks. Getting sick right before vacation can derail everything and we are traveling, finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful. That's why I ordered medical emergency kits. It's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home. It includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick at home or on the road, you already have what you need. No waiting for your doctor, no hours at urgent care, no pharmacy lines, no copays, just match your symptoms to the right prescription in your guidebook or call their telemedicine doctor standing by. Start on your med sooner and feel better faster. Every home needs at least one medical emergency kit. 40 years online in minutes and it's shipped to your door and say $45 with promo code blue at urgentcairedkit.com slash blue.

1:04I remember a time before the Great Quake. I found the love of my life and I'm marrieder but that wasn't the greatest day of my life. The greatest day was when I found her three months after the Great Quake. I thought we could take our family and live quietly in the woods but we couldn't stand by and watch people become refugees and refugees become slaves. Chosen by the resistance my wife became the lone survivor, the savior of the refugees. I stand by her side fighting for all of God's people. This is life on the changing earth.

2:17Here drink this. Thanks. Don't thank me. Thank TJ. He's the one who told me I had to give it to you. Okay. Wow. Thanks anyway. Are you okay? I'm so sore. What happened to me? Don't you remember? No. I think TJ was there. There was a boy I remember. But I could have been a dream. What's happening to me? You'll feel better soon. How do you know? Trust me. Can I? Good morning. What's the rule? I will never run from you. That's right. Did you get her water this morning? Yeah. Did you make it just like I told

3:23you? I did. What are you telling me? I did it just like you told me. It's just she she's so confused. She's fine and it will help with the pain. Don't make it your business. Just do as you told. Yes, TJ. How about some breakfast? Eggs and bacon? Perfect. Make a lot. Erica will be hungry. You're feeding her? Don't make it your business. But yes. She can eat as much as she wants. I'll make enough. Don't make her your business. How are we feeling this morning? Fine. Except I can't get my mind straight. Your mind is right where it's supposed to be. Here with me. Maybe you're right. I don't know what I'm trying to remember anyway. How's your back? Fine. Why? You had an accident last night. But it's better now. Oh yeah. You told me that. Did it? You're right. See? Your mind is doing just fine.

4:34Are you hungry? Yes, TJ. I am. What's the rule? I will never run from you. Put these shackles on. Yes, TJ. Give me your hands. I don't think we need this. Are you sure it's okay? Why wouldn't it be? I don't know. It feels like I've always worn it. Things are going to be different now. How? Don't think. Trust me. Okay. Come on. Sit down on the couch while we wait. You're back. That's right. Sit here by me. You can lay your head on my leg until the food is ready. Your back won't touch the cushion. Thank you, TJ.

6:12You smell good. I think I need a shower. We'll take care of this afternoon. Beautiful scars. Right up to your ears. Are they? Scars give us strength. You've survived many battles. How? All this haze is killing my gardens. What happened to the sun? If volcano erupted, it's been a month since we've seen real daylight. That sucks. That's right. Sleep, girlie. My girlie. I own everybody you body and neighbor right now. I just want you to feel the same. I'll sketch your remember. Sketch your break free. Skethers eyes will turn cold and run away from me. TJ, your breakfast is ready. Leave it on the table. It's going to get cold. Jimmy!

7:39I've waited so long just to feel like I... So, how to go last night DJin? Fine! You went to a party at the DJ Swenson's house. And all you have to say about it is it was fine. Come on guys, if he doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't have to. Whatever guy! Yeah, you are a freaking square, you don't count. Hey, you know what? At least I don't make a fool of myself everywhere I go. What are you trying to say? I think I said it. Knock at the hell off Rick. Guys are right. If the DJ doesn't want to talk about it, he shouldn't have to. His business is own damn business. I bet there was some fine ass woman there. Rick, let it go. I like that finance woman that just got transferred to our unit. Where she been all my life? I can't wait to see her face in the face.

8:40You'd probably trick her ass. How about you DJ? You got your eyes on anyone? No. For them, there was many, but for me there was just the one. Same. Yeah, her name was Rebecca. Our parents were killed in the wake. We came here together from the orphanage. What happened to her? She died on the ship. I'm sorry. For me, her name was Megan. Blackshirts told her family. I don't even know if she's a livernot. Oh shit. What are you two whispering about over there? Did they got a bromance going right? Just like you two bitches. Now you got jokes when DJ shows up and you were the comedian. What are you going to do about it, Rick? What are you going to do about it? Yeah. What are you going to do about it, James?

9:40Nothing. DJ. Sorry. Yeah, sorry bro. Thanks DJ. I got your back. I can't see a lift. Don't talk about it. Real eyes, real eyes, real eyes. All the time stand on it. If we set it well, walk around it. Los lips ain't shit. Red cup, blue strips. New phone. Who there is? No, we don't allow it. No, we don't allow it. Erica. Erica. Calm down. It's okay. I'm right here. DJ? Who else would it be? I don't know. You're just hungry and breakfast is ready. That makes sense. Jean, get Erica another glass of water. Thank you, DJ. I'm so thirsty. You'll never want again. Oh my, this smells wonderful. Bacon and eggs.

10:40Erica. Yes, DJ. Calm down. You'll never want again. Oh my, this smells wonderful. Bacon and eggs. Erica. Come down. You're okay. Yes, DJ. Erica. Let the girl go. Still scared? Yes, DJ. There's something. Something I should know. Ask me a question. I'll tell you whatever you want to know. That's the thing. I don't even know what to ask. Don't worry, it'll pass. Come on. You can rest while I go see my boy. Do you need to go to the bathroom? Yes.

11:54It's nice you never leave me. Really? Yeah. It makes me feel better when you're watching out for me. Well then, you're in luck. Because I'll watch you for the rest of your life. Promise? Without a doubt. Play down and get comfortable. I'm going to be gone for a while, but it's okay. You rest and I'll be back this evening. If you need anything, you call for Jeannie. Okay, DJ. Are you okay? I'm fine. Let me see your head. I said I was okay. I heard what you said. Let me see your head. It's no big deal. It cut you open pretty good. I'll send to Loris by to put a couple of stitches in it. Put some of that ice we keep for Mr. Lee on it.

12:55I will. Why did she do that? She's a killer Jeannie. Her instinct is to fight. I guess so. You need to be more diligent because I need you to take care of her. It's the water. She was always kind to me before that. When? When was she kind to you? When I brought her stuff. It is not your business. I know, but you broke her. You've never used that stuff before. You're right. But Eric needs to comply for the Supreme General. And the drugs will ensure I could have her ready in a month. After that? Well, let's just say it's going to be a very different story. I'm going to train. Eric is staying in my room. Wake her every four hours for water. No one goes in or out. Yes, TJ. Every four hours. I know. I got it. I'll send to Loris by. Thanks. Like a fire burning while a freight train you can stop. Like a nightmare but this time you don't want to wake up.

13:59It pulls you in. It takes over. You just can't let go of the worst best thing. That's ever happened to you. This is Dave Roberts.

If prepping guns and politics sounds like your cup of tea, come check out the Matterfax Podcast every Friday on iTunes Citroen Spotify with my co-host Andrew Bobo. Oh wow, look at the walls! Are we going to get anywhere near there? We are not. Graham and I will go. No one will recognize us. We have a landowner and cross regional travel passes. We can move through the city unnoticed. You guys stay right here. We'll be right back. Cole, what do you think? He's right. It's a good plan. We had to do something quick or too exposed out here in all this farmland.

16:02Everyone in Topicos trading something. Food, horses, cows, refugees. Maybe you should take someone in as a refugee for trade. He's right. I can go. You're on the Federal list. I've been off the grid for a long time. I'm probably down at the bottom. And we're at the top. That's the truth. Then it's settled. We will be back. Good luck, tread lightly. I guess there's not much to do except wait. We can't have a fire. Nothing could ever be done. Everything is so messed up. Vince calm down. Penny is right. We need to stay as hidden as possible. I can go scout the area. Be discreet. We do not need questions right now. What we need right now is a damn miracle. I understand, sir. Well, I for one, am happy to wait. I can use spray. I'm with you. It's the last thing I need. I need her.

17:04Vince. Vince. What? Just leave me alone, Bennett. It's time to snap out of it. I know. Nope. You don't know. I've never been able to grip on you like I could, Erica. But now it's time. You've always been there in the background. Ready to step up when you're needed. But not stepping up when you're own? Well, now it's time. Bennett, I can't do this right now. We are doing this, Vince. Right now. What do you know about it, Bennett? This is your fault we're in this position. You think so? Do you really? I've read your file over and over. Who initiated the very first offense on your way to Las Vegas? I did. True. They took her dog. Erica was furious. Yeah, Erica was pissed. You're always using the Erica shield. What? Everything is for her, right? You never stepped forward on your own without using hers and excuse for your action. In Vegas, you went for tweet. Why?

18:07Because I knew Erica would and I couldn't watch her get hurt or worse, the Erica shield. You should have gone after that son of a bitch because of the years of the torment he put you through. Not to mention your kids for your own self-worth, not for her. Just stop, Bennett. No, you are a strong and capable man. You want to be in these chains? No. Then why do you put yourself in them? I don't. I wanted to take my family and leave all this behind a long time ago. But you and Cole, you two couldn't let that happen, could you? The feds were already going after you. Where were you going to go? What were you going to do? You're as big a part of this as she is. There's a reason they want you dead. You are a threat. You need to realize that. Just a guy who loves his family and growing food. Not a soldier or a rebel.

19:09You're wrong, Vince. You trained just as long as she has. You've been all the battles right along with us. You are powerful and you're an asshole. Dad, stop. Daniel, let them go. You want to hit me? That's fine. Let's go. You don't have the courage to beat me without her. Do you? This is going too far. I need to. No, let them look at our eye. Now, I think it's time to step in. Vince, that's enough. Come on, Vince. Get the hell off me, Bennett. You proved your point.

20:11See, Vince, you are powerful. You know how to dominate. Now is the time. That man took your wife and your son. What? What do you mean took my son? Harold told me before we left. Dexter Tracker came online as DJ Swinson. And you neglected to tell me that. You've been as obvious as we started this mission. We're all here for you. You hold the cards and won't even look at your hand to play them. We need you. We need you, Dad. We all do, Dad. You all are my closest friends. I appreciate you so much. You're right, Bennett. I have been checked out for too long. We're going to get them back. All of us together. Broken roads and stormy skies. Wins at howling tears we cry.

21:12Devils challenges try to tear us down. But we lift each other when we hit the ground. Hand in hand through the pouring rain. If a scar becomes a story we don't explain. Wearing this together come what made loyalty binds us. I can't wait to tell Jose about last night. He's going to love that story. It was a long time coming. You know how long I've chased that girly. And how many men I've lost. You guys got anything on Vance and you've been it yet? No. I'm headed back out with Bowman this afternoon. You're not going out, Yuri? No. What's up with you? Nothing. You're going to pound over a woman. Luke was all obsessed with her woman. You made the bet, Yuri.

22:12It's not my fault you lost. Say, better suck at the hell up. You wouldn't see me pounding like a bitch if I lost. I knocked the one who wrapped a whip around my friend's neck. Because he touched some whore. She's not some whore. She belongs to the Supreme General. If I can't touch her, you could be sure no one else will. I don't even know why I'm explaining this to you. My business is my own Yuri. But you have to be a new to soldier for the Supreme General with a code on your arm? No, TG. And I suggest you rethink your attitude. I have so many TG. You're right. I made the bet. Besides, I did a new Shira. Thank you for that. We're brothers in life, Yuri. All worth no pleasure. But I ain't here to make friends big step up. I don't know why you wanted to come all the way out here. They'll have to come to a city center for food. How long did you oversee Eric Amor? Almost a decade. Did you research the family?

23:12Of course I did. They were all involved in all of our plots. Did you review how they were trained for the salvage missions by your idiot boss? I don't see what you're getting at. They were trained in wilderness survival. They know how to forest from the land as they go. They don't need a city. But they do need information and you'll find that in the city. Or on the outskirts of one. Good day, gentlemen. It's not every day we get black shirts visiting our establishments. What can I help you with? We're just here for a drink. Well, well, you came to the right spot. We actually have the finest of healers in the peckup. Let me show you two a seat. For you, sir? I'll just have a beer. I'll be back. See anyone you recognize? The refugee traders love to eat here. That's who majority of these folks are. Here we go, gentlemen. Why don't you sit down with us for a moment, beautiful? I've actually made it in the kitchen. You are needed right here. Sit down.

24:12I guess I can spare a moment. Smart choice. Will you like one? I call you by name, but I don't know it. Jessica, an I'd love a drink. What are you looking for, mister? A group of runaways. I'm sorry, sir, but you're going to have to be a bit more specific. This is Topeka. We've got nothing but traders, runaways, and refraught. And what does that make you? I guess we got power owners too. Such a pretty smile. I always was a sucker for a redhead. He's a big boy. You wouldn't be able to miss them. All of them are skilled fighters. Sounds like you have burqa traders on your hands not to stay for refugees. Aren't you perceptive? What if I told you you were right? And if you could tell me where they are, you would never want anything again. Then I would ask you what your name is so that if I heard anything, I would know who to take the information to. They will come through town and I want to know exactly what they do.

25:14This is Rex Bohm. He's the one to contact if you need to talk to me. Is there name I should look out for? Patrick Bennett. I'll keep my ears open. This is Dave Roberts.

Hello, this is L. Douglas Hogan, voice of TJ Swinson, you can follow me at Amazon or go to facebook.com slash honor your oath. I look forward to seeing you there. Music I did not know it would be this big. It's the supermarket but it's a cap. Good gracious look at these women. A man can be used to this town. I thought you were married. A man can sample the flavor so he appreciates the one at home, right? No, it's not supposed to work that way.

27:16It's no big deal. Yeah, it is. Those women would not have anything to do with him. Anyway, he's just talking shit. Checked out boys out. The Sherwood Lake Clubhouse. A perfect place to steal from the ridge and give back to the pool. Told on a second, blending into the crowd. What's wrong? That guy gave me an out of the restaurant. His name is Rex Boat. He was a guard out in Las Vegas. He would know you. For sure. You could have harmed me. What is he doing here? Sending all black shirts to welcome someone. Who's he with? A Mexican guy. He's got a lot of tattoos. And it looks like he would be a fine warrior. I don't know. Do we go in? There's not too many people in this world that would recognize me.

28:17And we run into one that would? They are looking for us. What if there are more black shirts in there? I'll go in and check it out. It might look suspicious. We won't know until we walk in. Then let us walk in. Hello gentlemen. Must be my lucky day for meeting handsome new men. Probably not too unusual for this location. You're right, sir. Would you like a table or a seat at the bar? A table. What brings you, gentlemen, is down? Selling off this refugee. Just one? Yes. Interesting. Why is that? Most folks around here bring 15 or so to make it work their way up. We are looking to buy some horses as well. Oh, well. Why did you just say so? I may happen to personally know one of the top breeders in the area.

29:20Let me grab you fellas your pigs and we could talk to you this. Thank you. Why did you tell us we were buying horses? I don't know. The one refugee seemed a little lack of lustre. You better make up something quick. I have to tell you this story about one of the horses like Ben and him. It's one of the finest things a stable and could fight like a beast. His name is Ben. That is funny because my friend has a horse named Benet as well. I had a feeling that may have been the case. It's part of too hot, but I have to be on the strength right now. Two black shirts just left here. We saw them. How big is it? 12. That many? Good Lord of God. He came for Elkiddinger. I am looking for a man named Yamir. You really? I am from around here. I am coming. Shame. Cover it. Yes, ma'am.

30:32The End Hey, did you see the way that chick worked James the Ring? His head was all mixed up. No, what TJ says. The plumbing between their legs makes no difference. How hard you fight. That's right, Lynn. It's just so beautiful. You're hopeless. Okay, maggots. That's enough, Chad. Yesterday we discussed the tracking system and how to use the locator. Now get your asses into two groups at 10. Each one will scan the other. Wait. Get over here and get your team scanner. Thank you, sir. TJ, let me see your code. My code? Yes, your code. Let me see your arm.

31:33Yes, sir. Now you want to make sure to get the red line even and clearly pick up the barcode. The information shows up in the readout screen. See here? It shows your handler and all your former owners. This shows TJ Swenson. You knew he or not, didn't you? Yes. I had no idea that TJ had a son. My name is Ronald Baker. It's very nice to meet you, sir. Okay, okay, shut up. Let's continue this exercise. TJ's your dad? I mean... A boy's as it shuts your mouth. Pay attention here to your group. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. A flicker in my heart. The life I used to know.

32:36Face is lost to ash. In the embers fading low. I was someone gentle. With dreams that held me tight. And I'm carved from shadows. Standing in the fight. A voice commands my future. Paws me to his side. Hands me strength, the weapon. Fills are growing pride. The crack of leather echoes. My pulse begins to race. But in the mirror, I don't recognize my face. I'm so screwed now. Ah. It's got its own soul.

33:38Hello, sir. Surprise to see me. Yes, sir. Why? I mean, I thought now that I served my purpose. Don't tell me my business, son. You think that because I used you to get your mother to fold? I'd discard you? Yes, sir. I wouldn't be training you with that leather in your hand if I had any intention to discarding you. I like to think of you as my son. No bullshit. I'd be honored, sir. Follow my pattern. Yes, sir. Your turn. Your brain is getting in the way. What's on your mind? We scanned my coding class today. I registered it. Does your E-no? What business is it of his? Not in my guess. That's right. Now let's do some training. Eventually you'll have to pick up a name for your whip. But for now, let's make you a master.

34:40You follow my pattern. If you can't hit it exactly, you do 10 push-ups. Squats or sit-ups. I'll call them. Yes, sir. Your turn. Sit-up. Yes, sir. Dust on the wind, orange haze burning low. Kids got that fire, watch the leather flow. I snapped the whip and match your clean and true. You threw it on once and oh, what you gotta do. But every time you ride, I feel it in my chest. The sun I never had put in all this hope to the past. You better get some chow. This relief has plans for you tomorrow. But I'll be by when he's not. We're going to make you strong. Sounds great, sir. Thank you for coming out.

35:40I have to say, I really enjoyed it. This is just the beginning, DJ. Thank you, sir. How are you? Working hard or hardly working? Where you've been all afternoon, Mr. Happy-go-lucky? I was out at the whip range, I made training with DJ. That boy's going to be good. You made a whip range? I've got to check that out. Sounds awesome. You coming in for dinner? You know that I am? Where's Scott? He should be home right about now. I sent him out. Gotta lead? Something like that. This is Dave Roberts.

Can't beat the warmth of the fire on a full leave, mini. I guess. I could do without staring at the stack of metal I need to turn into horseshoes by the end of the night. Looks like you need to hire an assistant. The horse-reading is good, my friends. A new shoes always swing and sail. Shoulders give me jobs, Scooby. I got a whole army of ferries that had out during the day. But no one had helped move the metal. I could give you a hand.

38:40You know metal. I sure do. My family has had large tourist farms. Jump on in. I've got an extra open over on the hook. How come you ain't at your family's farm? My family's farm was taken by the feds of North. How did you get a pass into the central region? Who says I did? Do you have a trucker? No, sir. I was a landowner and always will be. It doesn't matter what the government says. You better make yourself scarce. If a quad comes around, it'll sell you on the stage by the river. Don't want to annoy. You need no metal. I'm impressed. How are you planning on surviving it? I hadn't really thought that far. My only focus was getting into the central region. Now that I'm here, I'm not sure what to do. Well, I can pay you for your work tonight. I can't spend credits.

39:40I can pay you in silver. I should get you in line with plenty of the vendors around here. But I can't do more than that. The feds keep us on a tight leash. They'll learn that following their rules and such a bad idea. Go, sir. I don't think I will. They killed my family, took my land, and forced me to become a fugitive. I will have justice. Best of luck to you. I'm your journey, my friend. Hi, TJ. Hi, Ginny. This smells good in here. What are you making? Fried chicken. The boys are coming. I made extra for them. Is she still asleep? She is. Did you wake her? For water like I told you? I did. You are the best. What would I do without you? Thank you, TJ.

40:49Erica. Hi, TJ. Did you sleep well? Yes. Any bad dreams? No. I was out like a light. Ginny brought me more water. I'm ready to get up. Well then. Let's do it. I feel so good. You're stretching all the way down your toes. Is your back hurt? No. Why? It's nothing. However, you stink. You want to take a shower? Oh yeah. Hold on a second. Ginny, is your here yet? I'm here. Grab me new clothes for Erica. And her chain.

41:51Here. You could at least let me come in and watch. Go drink your vodka. Get on your knees, Erica. So wild and free. Give me your hands. Take off your shirt and bra. Let's put this back on for now. What's the man got to do? I've got to touch a woman like you. So beautiful. Stand up. Now take the rest of your clothes off. Come here. Here's fresh clothes. There's a shower. Thank you, TJ. Will you stay here with me? Woman, I wouldn't leave if you wanted me to.

42:53Good. You see a man like me? I want to make you feel good. Making less stuff to see. When I'm about to lose you. I give you all that money. I give you all that I need. So what's the man got to do? I can get a woman like that. TJ, dinner is ready. Keep it warm. We'll be there in a minute. Okay. Finish up. Dinner's ready. Ah, good. I'm starving. You did it to yourself. Did I? Don't worry about the past. The focus is always on the future. I like that. I can't remember what I'm trying to remember anyway. So stop trying. Come here. Step into your town so I can hold you. You're so warm. Say it. TJ, I will never run from you.

43:57You smell much better. I feel much better. I get a woman like you. You have to put on my cuffs. Give me your hands. I have some friends over. They aren't going to hurt you, okay? Okay, TJ. No surprises. Even if they touch you, okay? If you say so, TJ, no surprises. The curfew will be here soon. Where the heck are they? We can't stay here much longer. You didn't see them coming in, Nicholton? Nope. It's been too long already. What if they got caught? It's about time. What's the scoop? I found an Irish lady named Jessica.

44:57Who knows Vince? She is from Lumpkin, Port, Texas. Yeah, I remember her. Her house was demolished. The last time the Mississippi Sea surged. She says the secret police are out in full force. Everyone is in a panic. They're looking for someone and sniffing their noses everywhere. Shit. What are we going to do? Calm down, big man. Jessica has a friend outside the city. They have a large horse ranch and she stays there on the weekends. She told me to take you guys there. She will meet us there in the morning. What about Graham and Hall? They are staying with Jessica tonight as collateral.

45:57She does not know me for Madam and she wants to make sure her friends stay safe. She will verify Vince's identity tomorrow and set up a meeting with young mere. If everything checks out, how are her friends going to know we're okay? I have a letter from her to them. We'll find the farm. You guys hide out. I'll make the introductions. And we should be good to go. Sounds like you got it all figured out. First, we need to find the ranch. She said it's west of the city and I have directions. There it is. Go ahead, gear. We'll cover you. Nickelton's been in. We have two perimeter guards approaching.

46:58You want us to intercept? No, let's hold up here and see how this plays out. Looks like gear is talking to the owner. The owner has perimeter guards on the radio. Gear's signaling us to come in. Yeah, yeah, I'll do it tonight. Fine, you. Mr. Yeo Hanson has your question. You can't just stop that, COONS. Lead the way. This is Dave Roberts. If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk most people don't think about until it's too late.

Peace, coming. Name Christopher Johansson. Vince Moore. Like the Vince Moore? Husband of Erica Moore.

50:04The same. You're supposed to be dead. I know. And I still have the bruises to prove that. But Erica came here. She's marrying the supreme general in a month. She didn't come by her own free will. I knew it. You knight the country. What? How many times have you seen her in public? She was at a big welcoming parade and then there was some grand ball with Canadian delegates. Did she look okay? Actually, but times she wore high neck dresses that aren't really popular amongst the elite right now. My wife made mention of it. Other than that she looked healthy. At the ball. Now TJ Swenson was there. So, too. Mr. Swenson doesn't usually frequent formal events like that. He's a tolerated element of society because he does the land on his dirty work. Now that I think of it, he stood behind her and followed her all evening.

51:07He's still got her. Do you know if she's being housed at the supreme generals? You would think so because she's marrying the man. The supreme general has entertained other women in the past and typically they'll be in the market place or with him during the day. But since the ball, no one has seen Erica. They must have her someplace else. Or they have her locked in there. We're gonna have to find out before we can make a move. You were trying to get her back. Of course we are. Sir, you don't mind if a couple of us stay as guests in the house. I'm sure you're a really great guy. But you understand. Right? You have papers. Both dear and I do. I think how's it your people here is trust enough. My home is out of the question. However, I have room in the bunkhouse. If you're going to be here long term, I'm in need of rents. And there's always plenty of work to be done. We'll be more than happy to pitch in where we can.

52:08We'll sit it in tonight. We'll see what Jessica has to say tomorrow and then figure out a plan from there. Thank you for your help. It's an honor to have you here. This is cozy. Look at that kitchen. Let's make some dinner. Sounds good to me. How can I help? Anyone out for a game of Uno while we wait? Deal me in. Happy more than happy to put your butt in a game of Uno. Oh big talker! The world I fought for crumbled. A lie I couldn't see. She showed me what we're fighting for. Truth and liberty. Her kids they call me uncle. They're laughter heals my scars. I face a thousand battles. To keep them safe from harm. We clash on rules and reasons. Her questions never cease. The inner spark I found my home.

53:09My heart has found its peace. Family force and fire. Feel battles we've been torn. We've been waiting on you guys to eat. How are you tonight girlie? She needed a shower. Let's eat then. I'm stock. Erica sit here between Yuri and me. Yes TJ. That means I get to sit across from her. Nothing I'd rather gaze at while I eat. Stop. Back off. What I can't look at a woman. You're making her nervous. Just eat your damn food you fools. Who the hell cares if she's nervous. Eat your food. TJ's got her so well trained. His mood is the only thing control in that woman. She looks to him for every direction. Look at me girlie. TJ. Do as he commands.

54:09See that's not so bad is it? Did you find the truck yet? Commander Gray has men scouring these. But I think their own foot had a blast. The truck would have popped up by now if they were still in it. I think Scott is right on this one. Why west? While you've been chasing bounties out of the central region. I think Commander Gray let a terrorist group live right under his nose. Are you serious? Carl. Carl's a thorough man. Here Erica. Have some more water. Thanks. Well I've been playing the flip side. Trying to infiltrate the resistance. No one here knows me and I don't stick out like a sore thumb like Javier. Hey man. I resemble that statement. Every tattoo has a story. Where are they? They could be north of the capital. I'm not exactly sure. And the members are guarded with all the pressure they're under. But I have a good feeling. Where? To Pika.

55:09Javier is going to rattle some cages tomorrow. Good. You know TJ? You could just let them come to you. You know they will. This job was supposed to be done a long time ago. The sooner the better. Tomorrow's another day. I suggest you find me some answers. I'll see you then. Good night TJ. See you in the manana armano. Come on. You did good today. Thanks TJ. Does that mean I can go back to your room? No. Hmm. You'll be fine. I'll be back to get you for breakfast.

56:10So wild and free. What is she doing? She's working out? Such a creature of habit. She's been in motion for so long. She doesn't know how to sit still. And she's still so strong. Is everything okay TJ? Exercise will run the drug out of her system. Do you want me to stay up to give her more water? No I'll do it. Go to bed. Good night. I finally hold you without the hate in your eyes. And my heart's finally cold after all of those lies. You're safe in my arms. You don't want to run.

57:10I've waited so long just to feel like I've won. Stay with me tonight. I chase your shoulder. You skin warm on my no French no curse. Just a soft little sigh. Erica, calm down. It's me. TJ. I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you for a drink. I'm going to get you for a drink. I'm going to get you for a drink. I'm going to get you for a drink. TJ, is that morning? No. I knew you would be thirsty after your workout. Thank you. That's so kind. And I brought you a bigger softer blanket. Really? For me? Thank you. Lay down. I'll tuck you in. You're the best.

58:11Go back to sleep. And I'll see you in the morning. Stay with me tonight. Don't wait for this dream. One day I'll be able to take her off that drug and have her. Body and mine. Vince, that bastard is still out there. She has that look when she thinks of him. But now, she looks to me like that. I have to kill him. Or she'll never be mine. Say, in my arms, you don't want to run. What are you doing here? I knew you were going to be alone tonight. And though maybe you needed one body in your bed. You're not wrong. You know what, Dolores? What? This is a life I could get used to. Please stay with me tonight.

59:12No, it's not all real. Not the way I need. But I'll take this moment. I'll take what I can keep. One day you'll choose me. Not force, not afraid. Till then I'll hold you close.
