But one of them is about to come out of hiding.
I think its been true for centuries that people get into conflicts over borders.
And who decides what the border is, where it is, do you respect it or not?

In some ways, borders are sort of arbitrary, right?
Its like just people decide like this is the border.
And it leads to tension between our people and questions about what is the tactic?
When is the timeline to take care of the problem?
How do we take care of the problem?
So, we find that theres people who are taking a more measured response.
Im such a huge fan of Thora Birchs work prior to this show.
Well learn more as the season goes on.
But who are these people that are just part of the followers and what are their stories?
I think that theres a really powerful story to tell about the soldiers on the ground.
Im just enamored with her work and hopefully other people are too.
Is it a cult?
Alpha is such a charismatic leader and Beta is a true believer.
So, I think that there is an element to it that I think will feel that way.
Certainly Samantha Morton has said that thats an element thats similar to what shes channeling.
Because these people have to be true believers in a philosophy thats really pretty extreme in some ways.
Just to say Its survival of the fittest.
If you got to leave your baby behind, you got to leave your baby behind.
We have to sort of forget human ties and human emotion as much as possible.
Its weak to cry.
So yeah, it takes a particular mind-melding.
But even within a cult, is everybody 100 percent with it?
Or are there people that are just kind of drifting along, you know?
So, I think those are some of the questions that were exploring.
