cleaned and pressed, sir.
yeah, i'm supposed to take you to foster's. my name's ford. ford lincoln mercury.
used to be john stevens, but i changed it on account of i want to drive cars.
i live in that car. a 2003 pontiac sinatra. with a nine- banger and a q-eight.
were they fast?
a buck seventy-five on a strip.
a buck seventy-five? i thought maybe i could fix some of them up. it's nothing compared to what you do.
i knew you'd come here.
how do you get to be a postman, anyhow?
how could i do it?
not anymore. that was kid's stuff. this is real. so, where's the right place?
kinda like vampires, right?
what does?
i'll set them straight.
i've been lonely all my life.
okay, then.
i want you to know i'd die to get a letter through.
i'll see you around.
these are going to blue jay. about twenty miles east. i thought i could take them.
i'm a postman. and i'm not hiding from anyone. i --
the united states government.
i managed to save these.
i'm headed south. with the mail.
what kind should i be?.  haw!
more recruits?
gather 'round, everybody. got another letter here. came in last night.
'hello, all postal carriers.'
i'm here in minneapolis with president starkey, but my thoughts are with you. remember, nothing worth doing can be done overnight. keep your chins up and do your best not to get shot. signed, the postman.
hold on now. there's a p.s.  anybody know what p.s. stands for?
guess you want to talk about this?
i thought you were dead.
i lied. i told people you were in contact with me.
because i didn't want it to end.
sure. but you'll stay till he sends word? right?
you'll stay 'til president starkey sends word, right? right?
could you say a few words?
we bring all the mail here first. we sort it, group it and then it goes out. so far we got thirty routes.
bethlehem is offering a 1000 pounds of gold to whoever brings you in. dead or alive.
it's red. he's overdue.
what are you going to do?
you can't.
they'll kill you.
you can't help them!
no, this is all my doing. i went against your orders.
the holnists we killed. you told me to bury them. but i didn't. i sent bethlehem the bodies.
because bethlehem has to know that we're not going to stop.
bullshit. they're dying because of bethlehem. they're dying because this is a shitty world. and if we're ever going to change it, then somebody might have to die. if i could make it be me down there i would. but i can't.
the rest are on the overdue list.
the president never wrote that letter.
who's the other letter to?
what does it say?
what does it say?
it says you quit. what about the oath?
then i'll take it.
if this is the end. if this is the last piece of mail that ever gets delivered. i'll take it.
i'm still a postman. you owe it to me.  i owe it to me.
i'm a representative of the restored united states --
traitor.
who are you?
postmaster ford lincoln mercury.
law three. mercy is for the weak.
law eight. there is only one penalty and that penalty is death.
law eight.
 live and let live.
