All language subtitles for Jeremiah - S01E18 - A Means to an End-HI

(Kurdy) This is K.U.R.D.Y.,
breaker, breaker, 1-9.

Come on, man,
don't be messing around.

Man, remember there was a time
you could actually drive in your car

and hear music
on the radio?

And if there was a song
playing you didn't like,

you could just change
the channel.

(Erin on radio) Scout Team One,
this is Base Camp.

do you copy?

Yeah, Erin, we're here.

What's your 20?

Just finished dropping off supplies
at Clarkson. We're heading our way back.

Sorry, flag on
the play, guys.

Marcus needs you to pick someone up
on the way home, bring him in.

One of ours?

No, an outsider.

An out... an outsider?

What the hell happened
to rules number one:

Don't bring anybody in?

Really.

Who is it?

Not on an open channel,
just to be safe.

You'll pick up your target
outside new river.

wait by the old gas station
on the edge of town.

Take the long way back.

Be prepared
to blindfold the target

before you get too close
to Base.

We'll contact you later
with more details.

Base Camp to k.U.R.D.Y.
Signing off.

We've got a policy

of keeping the outside world
in the dark

about our activities
and our location.

That's about to change.

I've decided to bring in some people
from the outside into Thunder Mountain:

Local leaders, people who've been
able to form communities.

Is everyone else on board
with this?

Not yet.

I've been waiting
for the right time to tell them.

My father felt
that this place

was where the new world
would start.

He'd roll over in his grave
if we wasted it,

or worse, allowed it to fall into
the hands of Valhalla's army.

These people,

these outsiders,

are they good people?

Can you trust them?

I'd never knowingly bring anybody
into Thunder Mountain

that would harm us.

Was that a yes...

Or a no?

(Jeremiah)
C-c-correct me if I'm wrong,

but did Lee Chen
or did he not blow a gasket

the last time we brought somebody
back to the Mountain?

Whoever this cat is,

Marcus must really trust him.

I just wish
he'd hurry his ass up.

You ever think about
how much of our time is wasted

just waiting for whatever shit's
gonna happen to us

- to up and finally happen?
- Yeah.

[guns cocking]

Oh, shit!

Well, sweet Marie!

Look what the cat
dragged back.

(Theo)
It's OK, boys,

you can put
your guns down.

I think
we scared 'em straight.

Theo, what are you
doing here?

You're my ride, sweeties.

Her ride?

Oh, hell, man.
Hell, no.

Man, I would rather
poke my eye out

than take her back
to Thunder Mountain.

(Theo)
Well,

you better start looking
for a sharp stick, sugar,

'cause Theo

[grunting]

[sighs]

Is coming to Oz.

[chuckling]

(Jeremiah)
Dear dad,

it's been 15 years

since the Big Death wiped out
everyone over the age of innocence.

The end of your world,

the beginning of mine.

Good afternoon, Erin.

You said you wanted to have lunch
with me. Where have you been?

I've been working
on the power allocations.

Council's backed up
on supply reports,

so much stuff going out the doors,
inventory to do...

I lost track
of time. Sorry.

So how's Marcus these days?

Why do you ask?

Why do you answer
every question with a question?

Because having spent 2 years
alongside you on the council,

I've learned that every question
is a trick question.

Honest to a fault.

Disagreeable
but fascinating quality.

I'll never understand
why we never got together.

Well,

let's see.

Why did Tanya
break up with you?

I don't know.

Maybe it was because you were
always sleeping around,

always late,

always late because you were
sleeping around.

You still haven't answered
my question.

Because you're not
his biggest fan.

What, is it a rule now that we have to
like or agree with someone all the time

before we can ask
how they're doing?

Come on.

He's fine.

He's just really busy.
He's got a lot on his plate.

Between reviewing reports
on the D-sector support beam,

which I think is gonna collapse
any day now, working--

I hear he's bringing strangers
into Thunder Mountain.

- How did you... - A little bird
whispered it to me this afternoon.

A little bird
with a big mouth.

And I see
you're not denying it.

This is the sort of thing you should
really talk to Marcus about.

Look, you're here,
Marcus isn't.

You're also a member
of the council.

I'm chairman of that council.
You know something I don't,

something I have a right
to know.

Now, Erin, we can do this
one of 2 ways.

I can make a big,
messy deal out of this,

or you can be straight with me
and save everyone a lot of grief.

Marcus was gonna tell you
about it.

Yeah, I'm sure he was.

Look,

this has to stay
between us for now,

until Marcus can brief
the council, all right?

Of course.

He's asked several recon teams
to bring in 3 local leaders.

He wants to tell them
about Valhalla Sector,

explain to them
that we have a mutual enemy.

He wants to see how this meeting
will go on a smaller scale

before he sets up
the big one.

What big one?

So, you, uh, miss me,
Jeremiah?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

It's like, uh, having
my nuts stapled to a desk.

Aw, you say
the sweetest things.

Look, I got
a goose bump.

Why the hell are we taking you
to Thunder Mountain?

Hey,

you don't want to appreciate me,
that's your prerogative.

But you'd better show me
a little respect,

otherwise this soiree
your peeps are planning,

[chuckles]
It's gonna go bad, real bad.

Are you reading
my e-mail here, sugars?

Better.

It looks like, uh, someone there at the
end of the world wants to see me,

so we can discuss putting Theo back
in her right position,

running Clarefield.

Apparently, they don't think
they can work with the creep

that bounced me out, see.

I got people skills.

What do we get out of this?

I don't know, honey.

That's all
the message said.

Uh-oh, pull over.

I gotta pee.

Yes, ma'am.

Look, I'm not gonna be able
to take a whole lot of this, man.

So if you put the pedal
to the metal,

we could be dust
before she gets her panties down.

Do you think
she wears panties?

I heard that.

Sorry I'm late.
I was just--

Marcus, why the hell are you bringing
outsiders into Thunder Mountain?

Is this true?

It's true that I've asked
some of our teams to...

bring in 3 of the more influential
leaders of high-profile groups.

I want to discuss the viability
of bringing together

as many of these local leaders
as possible to a kind of...

To a kind of summit.

Why?

We've already started sending out
resources and making alliances,

because that's the best chance we have
of standing up to Valhalla Sector,

but it's all piecemeal.

The next logical step is
to band these groups together

and brief them
on what we already know.

We don't stand
a chance of success

without the help
of groups like this.

And at what point did you plan on letting
your advisers vote on this course of action?

That's what I'm doing now.

No.

What you're doing now is informing
us of what you already have done.

(woman)
Marcus,

as important as it is to have support
for your ideas out there,

you also need to have support
from us in here.

And I have it,

don't I?

(Andrew)
Yes,

but only to a point.

Marcus, this is not
a dictatorship.

The decisions you make
affect all of us.

I've dedicated 15 years
of my life to this place,

to making sure that every decision
I make is in the best interests

of the people
who live here.

And I'm sure
that's how you feel,

but your actions
speak otherwise.

This council was formed to ensure that
everyone here has a voice.

The people that vote us into this council
each year trust that we speak for them,

and we can't do it
if we don't know what's going on.

Marcus, you can't deny
that you often make decisions

with very little regard
for this council.

What do you suggest?

That you send these people
back to wherever they came from

until the council's had time
to discuss the ramifications.

We don't have
that kind of time.

- In addition,
- I strongly urge this council

to take a long, hard look
at who will lead us into the future,

and who will work with us to help
decide the shape of that future.

You're right, Marcus.

You've been at the helm
for 15 years.

Maybe it's time to let somebody
else carry that burden for a while.

You can't be serious.

As chairman of this council,

I'm calling an emergency session
tomorrow at 3:00.

That should give everyone
a chance to consider their options.

I plan on calling
for a vote of no confidence,

to be followed by an election
for a new leader for Thunder Mountain.

- You OK, Marcus?
- No, I'm not OK, Lee.

Where the hell were you
during that meeting?

I stand with you, Marcus.
I always have.

You didn't say one word
in my defense.

It was
a tactical decision.

I feel my actions allow me
to work as a bridge,

bringing the 2 sides
together.

Let's face it. It wouldn't hurt to have
someone you trust on the inside.

And you really think by saying nothing,
the council considers you neutral?

It's the only card
I had to play.

I played it.

What do you see
as our next move, Lee?

Go along with the council's
recommendation to cancel the meeting.

No way!

It'll be seen as a gesture
of good faith.

We can have an open forum
on the issue, answer the concerns,

get the support of the council,
and then proceed.

We'll get what we want
in the long run.

We're out of long runs, Lee. We'll lose
valuable time, and it'll never get done.

I'll tell you what.

I'll compromise.

Go to the com room.

Tell our scout teams
not to abort,

but to stay where they are
until receiving further instruction.

Tell them to do this by order of
Andrew and the council.

Why?

Well, it's the truth,
isn't it?

They say the truth
will set you free.

Oh, and Lee...

Make sure you personally deliver
the news to Jeremiah and Kurdy.

One thing's for sure,

they're not going to take this too well,
considering the company they're keeping.

No,

they won't take it well
at all.

You taking the long way around,
aren't you?

I can tell.

When do we get to put
the gag on her?

See, we don't.
That's the problem.

Gag me?

[chuckling]
Well, gag on this:

I did not get up
at the crack of sparrow-fart

to be muzzled by you two.

And why the hell don't y'all
have some food up in here?

(Lee on radio) Rover One,
this is Base Camp.

It's about time.
What's up?

We're asking all of the teams to maintain
a holding pattern at this time.

We'll call you if we decide to proceed
with the original plan.

If? Wait--wait.

What do you mean, "if"?

[groaning]
Ex-squeeze me?

I think we have
a bad connection.

Did you just tell Theo she's not coming
over to your house To play? I don't think so.

I think you might be playing some
kinda freakin' head game with me.

- Am I right?
- Give me that thing. Give it.

Lee, what's going on?
Where the hell is Marcus?

Marcus has instructed me to tell you
that this order comes direct

from the advisory council.

Since when does the advisory council
have anything to do with us?

I've told you
everything I can.

Do not come here until otherwise
instructed by Andrew Kincaid,

the chairman of the council.

Andrew?

That guy's a prick.

He's been nothing but a thorn
in Marcus' paw since day one.

This is fucked up.

You think so?

- Would you--
- Shut up!

Look,

far as I'm concerned,
we only answer to Marcus.

He brought us in, he gave us
the job, and that's that.

Yeah.

Come on,
we're going home.

My man.

[car accelerating]

- Erin, hi. I--
- I spoke to you in confidence.

You abused
that trust, Andrew.

I should've known better.

I should've known
not to trust you.

Marcus is becoming
a wild card.

This has been coming
for a long time now.

Everyone here has
to be accountable for their actions.

You don't see it, because...

you're too close
to the situation.

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

Oh, come on, Erin.

Everyone knows
about you two.

You're always laughing
and talking all the time, hmm?

There are no secrets
in the Mountain.

I don't believe
what I'm hearing.

Marcus put me as 2nd in command
'cause I'm a hard worker.

I'm not sleeping
with him--

An--and what in the hell does any of
this got to do with anything?

It's just you've lost
your objectivity.

Or that's what
you want to think,

because it'll help this little political
assassination of yours go down easier.

You've wanted to be in charge
of this place since you got here.

- Oh, please, Erin.
- What's wrong with that?

Do a hell of a lot better job
than Marcus right now.

And I'll bet you'll be nice and objective,
even though he's your brother.

That's enough, Erin.

This is not about your relationship
with Marcus, whatever that is or isn't.

This is about Marcus
putting all of us at risk.

He has to be stopped.

For that, you're going to need
a majority vote from the council,

and I'm going to fight you
every inch of the way.

[mumbling]

[sighing]

Marcus,
we have a problem.

Just one?

Jeremiah and Kurdy are at the gate
requesting access.

We turned off their key-card
as soon as we saw them coming.

(Kurdy) Come on, we're back.
Open the door!

That's what I like
about those two.

They always know
when to disobey an order.

Marcus, come on,
why are you--

Do we have to hook the winch up
and pull the motherfucker off?

(Jeremiah)
Not a bad idea.

Look, you don't think
I peeked?

I know where I am.

Now, you don't want
to piss me off,

'cause I will go back and I will tell
everybody where you are.

Marcus, you can't
let them in.

Lee, I can't leave them
out there.

Besides, it's a great way
to get the ball rolling

while maintaining
deniability.

Now, stop playing around.
Come on.

Marcus, the council,
the vote, you will lose.

Lee, Lee, sometimes when you find
yourself on thin ice,

all you can do
is dance.

The damage is done.
They know where we are.

We may as well
let them in.

Give us a break.

Haven't we been through
this bullshit already?

Are they always
this happy to see you?

No, usually we get milk
and cookies.

Oh, speaking of...
I'm hungry.

Is anyone else hungry?

Theo, you don't seem too bothered
by all this. Now, why is that?

Well, I figure it's y'all
they're pissed at.

See, I'm thinkin' once they decide
what to do with you,

then the head of this rock
is going to give me the grand tour.

Remember,
I was invited!

[laughs]

So anytime.

Hey, anytime now!

Theo is ready
to get this party started.

[Theo whooping]

Did you talk
to the others?

I did. And?

It's still 50-50.

Look, if we go
to a full vote right now,

odds are we lose, or...

deadlock.

[muttering]

How much more evidence
do the others need

before they figure out
that Marcus is out of control?

Thomas is right. We gave Marcus
explicit instructions.

He chose to ignore them.

Andrew, he needs
to be stopped.

So what do you recommend,
Andrew?

[sighing]

Perhaps...

Perhaps we should use
Marcus' decision against him.

We all know
who and what Theo is.

Let's give her all the freedom
she wants to move around.

Sooner or later, she will give us
all the proof we need

to convince the rest
of the council

what we've always known, but had
forgotten in Marcus' missionary zeal.

That if we let
the outside world in here,

they will steal and destroy
everything we've built.

I concur.

I'll tell the others.

Jesus, Andrew,

we need to do more, man,
not take off the pressure.

No, no, no.
Be patient, Thomas.

All we have to do
is watch and wait.

An opportunity
will present itself.

Maybe.

Hey.

Elizabeth. Oh, I'm so glad
to see you.

What, I don't get no hug
over here?

What's the deal, Marcus?

Erin will fill you in on everything
that's been going on.

You have no idea
what we've been through.

(Kurdy) Yeah, what you've
been through...

You, too, Lee.

[door closing]

So you're Marcus?

Marcus Alexander.
Pleased to meet you.

Charmed, I'm sure.

So, uh...

What, you goin' to keep me
locked in here forever?

No, that's an unfortunate
result of changes

that are occurring
internally.

Sorry about that.

Oh, believe me, I understand
how quickly things can change.

Yes. Clarefield.

Your note
intrigued me.

I'd be a fool
not to check into it,

and you'll see
I am no fool.

Let's cut to the heart
of the matter.

we have a common enemy,

one that you may not
be aware of,

but we've been tracking them
for some time now.

We think
there might be some--

(Thomas)
This is the legendary Theo.

Hmm.

How long's she been
in there?

Just got here.

This her stuff?

Yeah. Just finished
going over it.

We'll give it back to her
when Marcus is done.

Listen, Lee, I just wanted
to thank you

for all your impartiality
during this time.

And I was wondering

how you were planning
on voting tomorrow.

I haven't decided.

Well,

I know one way or another,
you'll do the right thing.

And just to let you know,

Andrew says there'll always
be a place for you as head of security,

no matter
what happens tomorrow.

Kurdy and I are gone
from the Mountain for a few days,

we come back, and the monkeys
are taking over the zoo.

I know. I should've
seen this coming.

Andrew and Thomas
came here 5 years ago.

Apparently, they had it
pretty rough out there.

It almost killed
both of them.

Andrew was so grateful
when he found this place.

He got involved, got on the council,
got his brother on with him.

So with him,
it's personal,

or is he just trying
to be the big dog here?

Yes, but not for the reasons
you might think.

I mean, I don't think
it's about power.

Then what else
is there?

Safety.

Whatever they went through
out there must've been pretty bad.

Andrew never talked
about it,

but I know it left Thomas
pretty messed up.

For the first year,
he wouldn't even talk to anybody.

He'd just do weird things.

Weird?

What kind of weird?

Like pluck the wings
off flies,

watch 'em spin around
for hours, stuff like that.

Well, where I come from,
that's just a good saturday night.

Point is, this place is their salvation.
It's their safe haven.

The idea that Marcus could
jeopardize that, it scares them.

Yeah, scared people
are dangerous people.

They want to go back
to the way things were,

keeping low and hiding out.

And if that means
getting rid of Marcus...

Damn, and we just got Marcus
broken in.

You know what gets me
about this council?

When was the last time
they've been on the outside?

Do they have any idea what's going on
as they sit in here all nice and cozy?

Yeah, well,
they're about to find out.

'cause all that
stuff outside,

it's going to come knocking
at the front door pretty soon.

You go the way Marcus goes,

at least you have people you can
count on when the hammer falls.

You go the other way,
you're all alone.

That's not playing it safe,
that's terminal.

Hey, what you lookin' at?

Man gave me the hairy eyeball.
You see that?

I'm sure he didn't mean
anything by it. Uh...

We just don't get
guests here very often.

If you take a picture,
it will last longer.

You enjoy that,
don't you?

Oh, yes,
it's good to be queen.

Humph.

Now, look, Marcus,

before we go any further,
I need to know...

Do you think
you can, uh, trust me?

No.

But when extending the hand of
friendship, you have to start somewhere.

[scoffs]

You're messed up,
you know that?

Yeah, I get that a lot.

So I thought we'd go see
the, uh, communications room,

uh, the cafeteria, there's the, uh,
garbage disposal.

- Is that--
- That's the rest room, yeah.

And then I thought we'd, uh, head up
to my office, hook up with Erin and--

Theo.

Theo?

[sniffing]

[sighs]

[water spurts]

[laughing]

[water running]

Ah.

[shower running]

Theo!

Theo, are you OK
in there?

Fine!

Just fine.

What?

Nothing, nothing.

Well, come on!

Let's not keep
destiny waiting.

[beeping]

The communications room.

Goddamn, you got
the setup!

Uh, yeah, from here we can
stay in touch with all our teams,

no matter where they are,
through a series of relays.

So those
your brain boys?

Well, I--I think we think of everybody
here as a... as a brain boy.

Uh-huh.

Well, give your women
my condolences.

Excuse me, Marcus.

Can I, uh, can I talk
to you for a second?

Sure. Wi-will you
excuse me?

No problem. I got
all the time in the world.

Look, I, uh...

I just wanted to tell you
that I'm sorry

about how things went down
with the council and all.

That's kind of you, considering
your brother is the chairman.

Just wanted to let you know
before the vote that, uh,

I'm behind you.

Hey!

Hey, what're you doing?

You talkin' to me?

Yeah, I'm talking
to you.

What did you just put
in your fucking bag?

I didn't put nothin'
in no fucking bag.

Look, what is this?
Y'all trying to set me up?

Thomas!

She grabbed one
of the walkies, man. I saw her.

You full of shit.
Give me the bag!

Give me the fucking bag!

Thomas!

[grunting]

(Marcus)
Theo!

[grunting]

Damn! Stop. Stop!

No. Get off!

Stop it!

(Theo)
Get off of me!

Marcus, I'm gonna have
to get you to move.

We have to get him
to the infirmary, fast.

What--what happened?

The son of a bitch
attacked me.

The-there was a problem.

I don't want to hear it, Marcus. This is
your fault for letting her in here.

Lee, get her out of here.

Lock her up!

Marcus?

No. Let go of me!

The son of a bitch
set me up.

This how you treat
your guests, huh?

[screaming]
Is it, Marcus?

Jeremiah.

There you are, finally.

Were you expecting me?

No, I...

Why do you ask?

What you doing?

I'm having a drink.

Hmm.

Looks to me like
maybe you're drunk.

I am drinking,

but I have not
drunk enough.

Have one.

Sure.

What are we drinking to?

We are drinking because...

Because, for the first time,

I don't know
what else to do.

Everything that's, uh,
going on isn't your fault, Marcus.

Oh, bullshit.

Everything that happens here
is my responsibility.

Maybe the council's right.

If I hadn't
second-guessed them,

then none of this
would've happened.

It's been 15 years, Jeremiah.
It's been a good run.

Maybe I--
I should step aside.

Maybe.

Maybe it's 2
separate issues.

So...

You're saying
they're right?

For 15 years

you kept this place a secret,

and it worked.

People are safe.

Now, you stay inside, you keep
the door locked, they will stay safe...

For a while.

I'd say about
another year, tops.

But they're choosing
to look another way.

I mean, they refuse

to see that the inevitable
is gonna happen.

Now, if you're talking
about staying inside here,

yeah, they're right.

If you're thinking
about going out there,

you are right.

So we're both right.

Right.

But I'm righter
than they are.

Which is why you shouldn't harbor all
the guilt over everything that happened.

This from someone who
carries the grief and guilt

of a lost brother
around like a...

Albatross.

That, too.

Come on.

We've got to get you sobered up
before the council meeting.

Oh, you're starting to sound
a lot like a camp counselor

from camp not-a-lotta-fun.

It's OK, I can walk.
I can walk.

Oh, really?

I can handle walking.

All right,
there you go.

It's the spinning and the gravity
I'm having trouble with.

That's what I thought.

[groans]

What are you two doing?

Uh, having a party.
Come on, give me a hand.

Erin.

Where are we going?

Got to get some coffee
into your friend here.

[groans]

Is this what I missed
by not going to college?

Yeah, it's not much
to write home about.

Jeremiah, I am home.

[grunting]

(Kurdy) Hey.

Hey, what's going on?

Elizabeth and I
have been talking, and, uh,

look, you know
I'm not a fan of Theo's.

This I know.

The woman is trouble,
end to end,

but she's not stupid.

Now, something about her stealing
a walkie-talkie just doesn't make sense.

What do you mean?
You--you think it's beneath her?

Beneath Theo?
Nothing's beneath Theo,

but she's smart.

People forget that.

If you had one chance to steal
something from Thunder Mountain,

why a walkie?

So you could keep tabs
on the operation.

Only the batteries'll go dry, and all
we gotta do is change frequencies

and she's locked out,
back where she started.

If she was going to steal something,
it'd be something bigger,

something more useful.

I don't know, man,
it seems like a walkie

is what somebody in here
might think she'd steal.

She said she was set up,
and maybe she was.

How's your brother?

He's--he's awake,
but they say, uh,

they say he's paralyzed
from the shoulders down.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, I'm just
on my way to see him.

They're doing everything
they can. Thanks.

(Jeremiah)
That's nice, isn't it?

What--what?

That they can do
everything that they can.

It's, uh,
it's not like it was,

like it is,
outside of here.

Yeah, uh, I don't want to talk
about this right now.

Yeah, I heard you guys had some,
uh, really rough times out there,

but, you know, everybody
had rough times out there.

The thing is,
you found refuge here.

But that's not
the important thing.

The important thing
is they let you in.

They didn't
have to do that.

They--they could've looked outside,
saw the two of you there,

and thought, "Nah, it's just too much
trouble. Let's lock the door."

Like you want to lock
the door right now.

Look--

You'd be dead.
He'd be dead.

Yeah, he's crippled.

Isn't that bad enough?

I don't know.
You tell me.

What're you getting at?

[sighing]

Maybe Theo didn't steal
the walkie-talkie.

Jesus, you're--

Somebody could have
planted it.

Look, I talked to Lee Chen.

Thomas was in the room
the whole time with her purse.

And then later, he--he just
comes up with it, out of nowhere.

Why would he do that?

Because he was afraid.

He wanted to help you,
and then you were afraid.

No. I won't listen
to this.

Hi.

Hey.

How you feeling?

[breathing heavily]

I can't feel
anything, Andrew.

They don't think
I'll walk again.

It's a possibility.

They don't know for sure.
Only time will--

Stop treating me
like a child.

Thomas.

[sighing]

I--I have to ask you
about the walkie-talkie.

Tell me that it worked
and that this wasn't all for nothing.

I showed 'em
you were right.

That woman's
a frickin' menace.

- They all are.
- How did it get into--

What difference
does it make?

Thomas...

[sniffing]

Not a day goes by

that I don't remember
that I owe you my life.

You literally carried me here
the last couple of miles

to find this place.

I heard you beg
to let us in.

The others,

they don't remember
what it's like out there,

but I do.

[crying]
You've worked so hard

to get here,

and I couldn't let someone
screw that up for you.

Thomas.

Did you plant the walkie-talkie
in Theo's bag?

Yes.

Why?

You're my brother,

[sniffing]

And I love you.

You can win this, Andrew.

Just don't blow it.

Nobody knows what happened,

nobody.

The council's
behind you now.

All you have to do
is say nothing,

and it's all yours.

(woman) We are gathered
here today

to weigh
a very serious question.

This council has been
kept in the dark

about key decisions made
by Marcus,

decisions that affect the well-being
and the safety of every person here.

We have been informed only at his
convenience and discretion.

It is for this reason

that a no-confidence vote
has been requested.

The leadership of
the Thunder Mountain community

will be passed to the chair
of this council, until such time

that a proper election
can be held.

Before the council votes,

do you have anything
to say, Marcus?

For 15 years, I've given this place
everything that I have,

and everything that I am.

Along the way, from time to time,
I've made some mistakes,

but bringing people into
Thunder Mountain isn't one of them.

We go forward, or we go back.
The choice is yours.

A little over
an hour ago,

Thomas told me that he planted
the walkie-talkie in Theo's bag.

He wanted to prove that people
coming here from the outside

can't be trusted.

And he's right...

But what we sometimes forget

is that half of us came here
from the outside.

So if outsiders
can't be trusted,

then we have to include
ourselves in that category.

What Thomas did

proves to me
more than anything else

that we need someone
we can trust,

even when he doesn't trust us
as well as he might or should.

Andrew...

Thomas did what he did
out of fear,

as did I,
I'm ashamed to say.

Thunder Mountain can never be
what it was destined to become,

a beacon standing on a hill
for the whole world to see,

if those who lead it
live in fear.

I have sometimes questioned
Marcus's methods, but

I have never
questioned his courage.

So...

I hereby withdraw my request
for a vote of no confidence and...

resign from this council.

(Erin)
Andrew,

you don't have to do that.

Thomas is gonna need all my help
in the coming days, weeks, and years.

I plan on being there
for him.

Looks like
the best man won.

And he's just
left the room.

Damn it!

(Marcus)
Theo?

I'm not feeling you
right now.

Marcus, I'm not feeling
either one of you.

Theo, I'm sorry.

Oh, that sounded like a lie
rolling off your tongue.

Do you have any idea what it's like
to be shoved into a closet

like an old shoe
for something you didn't do?

Yeah, I think I have some idea
what that feels like.

How the hell do you get out
of this fun house, anyway?

Huh? I don't know
what's worse,

being locked out
or being locked in.

Theo, the other leaders
have finally arrived.

They're waiting for us
in my office.

I think they want to see
if you'll show up,

before committing
to the conversation.

Did you really travel all this way
not to accomplish anything?

You never struck me
as somebody who'd run.

Theo does not run, honey.

I might walk fast, but that's just
the shoes. You hear what I'm sayin'?

Theo, we'll do
what we can.

I can't make any promises about
putting you back in power in Clarefield,

but if we're successful at what we're
attempting to do here,

I can guarantee you a seat
at a bigger table,

a much bigger table.

You know when I knew
this wasn't gonna work?

From the moment
you introduced yourself.

You said your name
was Marcus Alexander.

Your buddy's name
is Lee Chen.

I bet even Erin
has a last name.

I don't--

Everybody on the outside
just uses their first name, that's all.

So it's Theo and Jeremiah
and Kurdy and Sam and Phil.

But our last names tie us back
to families and histories

that ended
with the Big Death.

Our last names died
with the old world.

It doesn't have
to be that way.

There's hope.

See, that is just the thing.

In the world
outside these walls,

hope can kill you,

and I just don't know if
I'm up for that kind of pain.

So what was
your last name, anyway?

[crying]
Coleridge.

Theodora...

Coleridge.

That's a beautiful name.

Theo...

Ms. Coleridge.

Stay.

Please?
