" His friends do." " Why, because you said so?" "You fit up anyone you like." "Look, between his friends and yours, your brother's getting caught up." "Now, you might not give a shit, but getting Connor out just cost me favors I can't spare." "So you need to stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about what you're doing to your brother." " You're so stupid." " The filth did it." "They wouldn't have touched you if it hadn't been for your friends." "My friends aren't the ones." "They're doing this to me because of you and your dead black." "Stop." "Stop it!" "Stop." "I need help." " How am I..." " I've got no job." "I'm trying to do everything for the both of us." " And you getting hauled in..." " And what do you care?" "Our parents... my friends... my man..." "All gone." "You're all I've got." "And it's taking everything I've got left to keep us together." "So stop pretending to be a soldier and just be my brother." "Alright?" "Come on." "(Siren blares in distance)" "You were staring at me." "You attacked the Rhodesian Mission."

"They hang the Immigration Act over our heads and sneer at us like..." "like we're lucky to be here." "Holding the filth accountable, power to the people, that's what we fight for." "So you attacked the Rhodesians?" "The truth... the truth is, I..." "I got lucky." "Nobody's that lucky." " Marcus says that..." " Who's Marcus?" " I'm his girl." "Marcus..." " You're not anybody's girl." "...says that we have to..." "stop just doing things." "We have to communicate our goals." "We have to plan our actions better." "A predictable attack has a predictable outcome." "With the Rhodesians, you just weren't predictable." "I don't think your man has a problem with your tactics," "I think the problem was you succeeding without him." "You hurt that in the attack?" "Mm." "There are better ways." "(Knocking)" "I wasn't expecting you." "These three, the convict and the two that got him out, what are you hearing?" " Nothing." " That's not like you." "You could tease the Devil out of a pastor." "No one's loosening their lips for you?" "Nobody knows where they are." "Nobody I know." "The two who got Dhari out, they aren't..." "This isn't their circle." "It's all the same cloth, isn't it?"

"They wanna make me look like a..." "I've got my Mick of a partner running his mouth like he's so goddamn clever." "(Liquid pouring)" "Had to get Ronnie to a doctor." "Drinking, drugs." "It's all getting to be too much." "Emily, she blames me for his troubles." "I'm out there pounding the street, trying to keep the order." "She blames me." "She's around the boy all day, every day, she can't take some responsibility?" "No one can take any responsibility." "It's always Pence who's gotta fix what's broke." "Kaffirs running wild or my kid killing himself with a needle." "Let old Pence fix it." "You look good." "Got a caller?" "A guest." "Guest?" "How's the boy?" "He's fine." "I don't spend enough time around him." " Let me go say hello." " I told you, he's sleeping." " I won't wake him." " No." " Just a kiss to the cheek." " Just leave him alone." "This guest, what's his name?" "Gonna put me to the trouble of finding out?" "What's his name?" "Robert." "Robert?" " Smith." " (Scoffs)" "Bob Smith?" "Tell you what, why don't you ring up Bob Smith?" "And say what?" "I don't know." "Let's see what comes to mind." "(Dialing)" "Robert." "It's Kenya." "Er..." "I've got something I need to tell you." "(PENCE) About a change of plans." "Something's come up." "No." "No." "I can't." "(PENCE) I've got other things to do." "I can't see you this evening, I'm..." "I'm sorry."

"Maybe in..." "Tell him he's a bore." "Tell him he's a bore and you'll dump him." "Tell him." "(She exhales heavily)" "Tell him." "Robert, we can't." "(ROBERT) Can't what?" "We can't." "How's that boy of yours gonna like growing up without a mum?" "You say it." "You tell this cunt... (Slams receiver down)" "You don't get to own me." "(Exhales)" "(Birdsong)" "There's some tea in the kitchen." "I know." "Really nice." "God, they're just gonna sit there all day." "We'll go upstairs." "There are some things I can show you." "(DHARI) That one, she ain't nothing but trouble." "You hear me?" "You better mind your girl." "She's getting an attitude and hanging out with this other one ain't gonna do a thing for her." "Nothing will fuck you up like a hot-headed bitch." "You need to mind how you talk about Jas." "I don't like it when you imply you'd have relations with her." "How's that wrong that Jas is worth having?" " Or that I say it to your face?" " Don't talk about her." "You and me are like brothers." "Haven't we always got on like brothers?" "So what's your problem, acting all...?" "Mom and Dad talked you down on the telly, saying you're under the spell of some Uga Buga Man?" "I'm wise to you, boy." "You're not as sharp as you'd like to believe." "It doesn't matter what I think." "It's what other people think." "That the problem, hm?" "Not so much that I could take your woman, that I took your words." "You didn't take anything." "I gave my words." "I'm the one who gave you your voice." "I wrote your book." "I wrote that." "Those are my stories." "I took your incoherent ramblings," " your wasted days in prison." " You better watch yourself." "I bent them into something." "All those people out there who think you're the symbol of black resistance," "I did that." "Your life, my words." "Your words don't mean shit without my life." "Nothing but an English teacher living on the dole." "Nobody paid you any mind." "Nobody cared nothing for what you had to say before I come along." "You talk on blackness, you talk on the struggle, that's all it is, man, talk." "You haven't struggled a day in your life." "You're fucking middle class and middle brow, mediocre, prosaic." "How am I doing, teacher, hm?" "How are my words?" "Fixed teeth and plum talk." "And you thought that you could use me to fuel your revolution?" "I don't know what you thought was gonna happen when you busted me out but I'm not your mascot." "And you're not the dragon." "(Jas and Eliette laughing)" "Don't talk about Jas." "You're anxious, man." "Don't be so anxious." "It's not good for you." "(TV in background)" "(Door opens and closes)" "(Dog barks in distance)" "You did these?" "I'm a wanted woman." " There's a price on my head." " How much?" "$10,000." "Ten?" "Canadian, but..." "What you did against the Rhodesians, that was good." "But anybody can shoot a gun." "If you want people to take you seriously, you have to show them that you're more than just a thug." "You don't think you could make one?" "It's easy." "Mm." "This is more destruction than I..." "It's not about destruction." "It's about disruption." "Infiltrate." "Plant the bomb." "Call in a warning to the police before it's set to detonate." "Demonstrate weakness of the system." "Limit collateral damage and keep yourself and your cell at a distance." "Attack by remote control." "That is fear." "That is power." "I'll take that fear back to Canada in the name of Quebecois." " You're going back?" " Eventually." "Trying to get to Algeria, Lebanon or Vietnam." " Why would you go to Vietnam?" " To train." "The Seventh Wave can't be like the Sixth Wave." "The age of idealists and..." "amateurs is over." "Quebecois, we..." "We are the descendants of a conquered people." "We've got a right to national sovereignty." "It doesn't happen without a fight." "To fight, you have to be a soldier." "To be a soldier, you have to live like one." "What?" "You." "You remind me of... people." "Keep it." "Learn it." "Pass it on." "That's how the revolution sustains itself." "Sis?" "He's asking for you." "Are you Fallon?" " Yeah, why?" " Come."

"She wanted me to tell you, you know, it's all cool." "And that, uh... what was your guy's name?" " Julian." " Yeah." "They gonna make things right about him with the pigs." "They're doing all this because of Julian?" "Look, I need you to tell them..." "I don't know when I'm gonna see her again." "This can't be because of Julian." "Look..." "I'm not your messenger boy." "They're underground." "They do what they do." "Tell her... please." "(Sighs) Alright." "When I see 'em." "(Gospel singing)" "(Percussion and singing)" "(Thunder rumbles)" "Hey." "You alright?" "Yeah, I'm okay." "This is the first time we've been alone together and outdoors in nearly a month." "(Jas sighs)" "This girl, are you getting on okay with her?" "Mm." "I like her." "She's..." "She's smart." "The way she talks, she sounds like my father." " (Marcus scoffs)" " Is that funny?" "Your father gave up a civil servant job to help liberate the poor." "She's fighting to speak French instead of English." "That isn't much of an objective." "The Naxal Movement is about equality and self-preservation." "That's what my father fought for, it's what Eliette is fighting for." " You just don't get it." " I don't get what?" "I don't get the fight?" "The police brutality, racism?" "It's not the same for you." "You're not an immigrant." "This is all the police see." "When they start dividing us up, you'll be a patrial, I won't." "There is blame, there is bitterness, there is anger and hate towards us, which you won't understand." "I have my own experiences, you understand that?" "There are times when I tell you how I feel." "I just need you to listen, not tell me what to think or judge what I do." "So you going off on your own shooting at the Rhodesians, that's some sort of personal liberation?" "It was an unpredictable attack that had an unpredictable outcome." "What does that..." "Is that girl filling your head with that shit?" " I trust her." " You don't know her." "We don't know Dhari." "Not the way we thought." "We don't know Leroy, we don't know these Germans." "This has all turned into a big fucking circus." "We need a real soldier!" "What we need is people who believe in what we believe." "This is our thing." "You and I have got to stay partners in our mission." "Partners?" "Being partners doesn't mean disappearing in you." "I'm not here to be the girlfriend or the sidekick." "I am my own agent." "Write your communique, get your words together, announce yourself to the world." "First night we're alone together and this is the best we can do?" "(Wind howls)" "(Tape recorder whirs)" "This is Marcus Hill." "I'm going to read a declaration of a state of war." "This is the way we celebrate..." "You read it." "You be the voice of us." "(ELIETTE) Read it, Jas." "This is Jas Mitra." "I'm going to read a declaration of a state of war." "This is the way we celebrate the example of Fanon, L'Ouverture, of Che and Hampton, who first inspired us by their fight behind enemy lines for the liberation of their people." "To the oppressed, we say, don't despair." "Hopelessness will fall away in the face of the victories we achieve for all of Britain's people." "To those who struggle, know that you don't struggle alone." "We fight with you." "We fight for you." "To those who condemn us, know that in the end it is you who will be judged, not just by those you stand against, but by history as well." "To the establishment, to the filth, to the oppressors, if you want to find us, this is where we are - on every street, in every house, in every shop in this country." "Where people yearn for decent wages, fair housing and equal protection under the law." "It is this for which we live and for which we fight - to the death if necessary." "We are not afraid." "The scared coloreds are already dead." "This is the age... of the United Federated Forces of the Black Army Faction." "Power to the people." "(Tape recorder beeps)"
