*FLASHBACK
The bombs go off, and Marcus' father's life changes forever. While at work, he is forced to evacuate as his colleagues run out screaming in terror. His running is stopped as he's pulled by the neck by a man in dark clothes and dark rimmed glasses. Marcus's father is thrown into a big truck, and he has a bag over his head. Once it's lifted, he regains his sight and notices other adults around him in the same conditions as he.
DHS OFFICER
Mr. Yallow, you will comply with the United States of America.
Mr. YALLOW
What's going on?
DHS OFFICER
You are now working for the United States of America in the fight against terrorism. If you wish to refuse, then you will never see your family.
Mr. YALLOW
Yes sir. I'll do anything.
*Present time
Mr. YALLOW
(sob) I can't believe he's gone,....he's...dead...
Mrs. YALLOW
(crying) I...I know...
Mr. YALLOW
(thinking) I only have to fake this for so much longer, soon enough she will get over it. She can't know what I did...or who I've become.
(Later on)
Mr. Yallow goes on to sabotage all of Marcus' efforts. Marcus has no clue that his dad is working for the DHS. He still struggles and fights with his father on the issue of rights and specifically privacy. Once Marcus finally tells his father what happened to him, Mr. Yallow doesn't take him to see Barbara, but instead, he takes him to severe hair cut lady to be put away for good.
