"CARROLL:" "And you are cur hero." "I really don't want you to be the, heh, uh, standard, stock do-gooder fighting injustice, ha, ha." "Something wrong, Joe?" "You sound desperate." "CARROLL:" "I need some more back-story to help the reader understand what motivates our hero." "What defines Ryan Hardy?" "CARROLL:" "This plague of death that's surrounded you clearly started at an early age with your mother, we know that..." ""but, no, what's really interesting me is your..." "Your father." "He was a cop recently retired, when he got gunned down at a local convenience store." "CARROLL:" "Would you tell me a little bit more about that?" "How did it affect you?"

"You could be a little more upset about it." "I'm freaking out inside." "Can they use that information to find this house?" "RODERICK:" "I don't see how." "Besides, I'm monitoring the FBI through state police." " They're nowhere near this place." "VINCE:" "What about Daniel?" "Daniel?" "You" "Your friend Daniel, the militia man?" "There's no way the fbi's gonna find Daniel." "I beg to differ." "The illegal contraband could easily trace back to Daniel." "Don't forget, he helped us find this house." "They can trace it all they want, they're not gonna find him." "So how am I gonna find him?" "I don't know." "He's off the grid, that's how he operates." "Damn it, Roderick he knows too much." "Joe, we can trust him." "I know how to find him." "He's a friend, Joe." "Hmm." "Which is precisely why I won't be asking you to kill him." "I'll do it." "I'll do it myself, but, um, you two, you come with me." "You stay here and monitor the FBI." "Joe, you cannot leave the house, it's too risky." "Oh, heh." "That it may be but not half as risky as leaving it up to you." "[SIGHS]" " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Because if you need more time..." "Now you sound like my dad." "I just mean you don't owe anything to anybody." "Do you know my dad?" "It's like you're channeling him right now." "PARKER:" "He's on with CIA." "Monroe was last tracked internationally."

"CLAIRE:" "What's past the trees?" " More trees." " Huh." " When will we try leaving again?" "Right now we just need to act as normal as we can." "Hopefully we'll get out of here soon, okay?" "And how is everybody doing in here?" "Sweetie, why don't you go over there and, uh, get a game for us to play?" "You, uh, enjoying your stay so far?" "Having a good time?" "So I take it you are Joe's second in command?" "Joe and I go a ways back but I'm not sure second in command is how he'd describe me." "You really a sheriff?" " Yes, ma'am, I am." " Heh." "Why be a part of this?" "You seem like a normal, functioning person." "Here I feel normal." "Not so much anywhere else." "What about"?" "What about these people?" "Are they, um, you know--?" " Cold-blooded killers?" " Yeah." "It's a mix." "There's a few hardcore psychos and some first-timers." " Groupies." " What's the point here?" "What is Joe hoping to get out of this?" "Well, for me, it's about having a safe place where I can belong." "Where I don't have to be ashamed of my basic human nature no matter how ﬂawed." "As for your husband I don't know." "You should ask him." "All he seems to do is sit and write his book." "He's my ex-husband." "Well, I'll leave you to your son." "You know Joe can't be trusted, right?"

" Where's Daniel Monroe?" " Daniel?" "I haven't seen that guy in months." " He's lying." "RYAN:" "The thing is seems like there's more than one person living here." "SQ?" "We know you were members of Freedom 13 and friends." " He's not here." " Where is he?" "I'm not doing your job for you." "[WESTON GRUNTS AND BRIAN GROANS]" " Take it easy." "BRIAN:" "Ugh." "What's going on with you?" "Weston." "Weston!" "Go stand over there." "[BRIAN GROANS]" "This place is a dump, what's with the alarm systems?" "What you got so valuable you gotta protect?"

"It fuels me." " Me too." " Hmm." "Isn't that what you want to hear?" "It fuels me too." "We both seek it out." "No." "No, I don't." "I don't seek it out." "Oh, yes, you do." "It motivates your every move, Ryan." "Heh, but why?" "That's what we all want to know." "What did you do to deserve your place in life?" "Nothing." "It just is." "We are so alike, Ryan." "It is through death that we both live." "I got worried." "You been down here a longtime." "I've been wondering when you'd work that out." "Somebody killed Vince."
