All language subtitles for Jeremiah s02e13 State of the Union.eng

Previously on
Jeremiah...

There's this little thing

called the doctrine
of unintended consequences.

You ask somebody,
"Do you love me?"

It opens up all kinds
of unintended consequences.

You hit somebody,
you do the same thing.

You just hit Daniel hard,

maybe before
we were ready to hit.

You wanted to do something.

This is it.

Recruits come here,
we train them,

they go to Milhaven
for assignment,

and out from there.

You did everything
you could.

It's not your fault.

We previously agreed
to hold off

on any direct confrontation
with our opposite numbers

in Thunder Mountain.

I think you'll agree, time is no longer
a luxury we can afford.

The greater of the chaos,

the greater the beauty
that comes out of it,

assuming that everything

follows the right
strange attractor.

But there's always one
strange attractor

in the bunch.

Oddly enough,
there are usually two,

and everything
that happens around them

is defined by that division.

This isn't a fight

for the pieces
of the old world, Rod.

This is a war
of powers and principalities.

We are the coyote, Rod,
we are the wolf,

and it is time,
long past time,

that we bared our teeth
and fed.

What are you doing?

Something I've
wanted to do

since the day
that I met you.

I've always had
this superstition

that what you're
doing on New Year's

is what you're
going to be doing

for the rest
of the year.

Good morning, sir.

I think we're in for
another beautiful day.

Gina, how long you been here?

About four hours, sir.

- Did you sleep?
- Yes, sir.

Five hours a night,
whether I need it or not.

You mind telling me
what you're doing here?

I'm here every day.

Today's sunday.

Don't you think I deserve at least
a sunday off to myself?

Of course I do,

but this is monday.

Sunday.

Nuh-uh. See, if you look
at my day planner,

you'll see that yesterday
was sunday,

and then over here,
it says monday.

Yeah, that does say monday,
and that's today,

so I'm here,
you're awake,

and here are
your appointments.

I don't believe this shit.
This is your handwriting.

So?

You make this shit up.

No, I don't. That's why there are
people lined up outside.

They made their appointments
weeks ago

for today, monday.

How many people?

A couple.

A couple... all right, look,
I can do this.

After that, I'm taking
the rest of the day off.

You got it.

- It's got to be sunday.
- It's monday.

Okay, let's go.

He's running a little late today,
so try to keep it brief,

and he's not
in the best of moods.

Move it.

This is such bullshit, Markus.

Making deliveries like this
is grunt work,

and Smith and I have,
you know,

more important things to do,
don't we, Smith?

- Not really, I...
- There, you see?

Kurdy, this is
important too.

We're nearly done
putting together

the communications systems
that Devon created.

Once we've finished
getting radios

to all the alliance towns,

we can tie
the whole thing together

into one big grid,

but they have to have the radios
in the first place,

or the whole thing
doesn't work.

Sounds good. I'm in.

There's got to be
somebody else.

There isn't.

The other teams have been
doing this for months now,

and we're falling behind
a little bit.

There are new recruits
pouring in here

every day, Markus.
They need training.

You have trained your
people well, Kurdy.

They can handle things
around here for a couple of days.

- I could go.
- Markus...

Just take three radios
to three towns and come back.

That's all I'm asking.

Fine, but I don't think Smith is
going to be very happy about this.

Happy? I'm ecstatic. I mean,
I love going to new places

- and discovering things, and...
- Would you shut up, Smith?

So, what towns?

Three Hills, Farley,
and Silver City.

Three Hills.
Okay, that's Sandor's place,

just on the other side
of Milhaven.

We can stop by,
check on Jeremiah.

He could use a distraction.

You see? This is going to work
for everybody.

Okay, have fun.

It's become painfully obvious
that we need to practice

this good cop/bad cop stuff
some more.

You looking for something?

Yeah, I'm kind of lost.

Pretty big place
you've got here.

Can you tell me where I go
to sign in? I'm here to join up.

Down the hall, second left.

What's your name?

Tad.

- Where you from?
- Arlington.

Welcome to the Mountain.
My name's Kurdy.

When I get back,

if there's anything I can do
to help you out, you let me know.

Remarkable workmanship, really,

to assemble this
in so short a time.

They say it should
be operational pretty soon, sir.

Excellent. Then we
should be on our way.

Time to kill some of
the enemy, make some noise.

It's been 15 years

since a strange disease
wiped out all of the adults

and left us kids
to fend for ourselves.

Now I'm moving ahead,

through the past.

So you know
what King Solomon did

in a situation like this?

He would say, "Look,

"if two you cannot decide
who this child belongs to,

I'm just going
to cut it in half."

Okay, but I don't quite see
how that fixes my situation, and...

What I'm saying is,

the outhouse was there
before you moved in next door.

Now, you don't
like the outhouse, that's fine,

but we can't move
the outhouse.

You see what I'm saying?
So you have to deal with it.

Either learn to like the smell,
you get out,

or I'll come
burn your house down.

Problem solved, get it?

Just like King Solomon,
except different.

Can I go now?

Sure.
Take some bread.

Libby...

I don't know
what I'm doing here anymore.

I don't think
I belong in Milhaven.

I'm not like you.

You could make
the best of any situation.

You always see...

Saw the best in people.

I miss that.

I miss you. I...

(knocking)

(door opens)

Well, that wasn't so bad,
now, was it?

You said
a couple of people.

A couple is two.
That was 22.

The whole fucking day is shot.
Thank you.

Well, in that case, sir,

why don't you go ahead
and take a break,

and I'll neaten things up
in here?

You know what?
Don't do that.

It doesn't bother me. I know
it kills you when I'm unorganized,

but I've got
other things on my mind.

Like what?

Like how can you be
so obnoxiously happy all the time?

Mm...

Good living, country air,
and doing what I love to do,

like working with you.
What about you?

If you ran the universe,
what would you be doing right now?

What would I be doing right now?
I'd be on the road.

It's what I know.

Me and Kurdy,
cruising down the road,

sitting by a campfire.

(knocking)

Oh, go away, would you?

I'm closed.
I told you.

Go home, will you?

Well, I really didn't
want to come.

It was all Smith's idea.

Hey, man.

Huh. I guess you really do
run the universe.

Actually, that job's
not open right now.

Get in here, Smith.

I can't tell you how great it is
to see you guys.

Really.
Even you, Smith.

Thank you, I think.

Wow,
running this town

really is
driving you crazy, huh?

Yeah.

It's weird,
because, you know what?

I know there's still
some good that I can do here,

but most of the time,

I wonder if this
is where I belong.

Too many memories.

You look like
you could stand

to get away from this place
for a while.

Yeah.

Tell you what.

We'll go drop
some shit off,

say hi to Sandor,
hang out...

We'll take our time.

Markus said these radios
have to go out,

but they don't have to go out
right this second.

It'll be like
a little vacation.

What do you say?

Yeah. Yeah.

A vacation.

That sounds great.

(knocking)

Sandor?

Yeah.

Who wants to know?

Daniel says hello.

Hustle it up, Smith.

We can't be
out here all day.

This is a break
in routine,

not a lifestyle, baby.

All right. I just have a few more
adjustments to make.

All right, I give.
What are you adjusting?

What's that thing
supposed to do?

Well, it's pretty simple,
actually.

The string is attached
to the pole in the water,

so when a fish
nibbles on the hook,

it creates a tension
in the line,

pulling the little
piece of cardboard out,

allowing for direct contact

between the battery
and the light,

so when the light goes on,
we have dinner.

Where did you learn
to tinker with stuff like that?

I guess you could say I have
a natural inclination for invention.

I'd say you have a natural
inclination for bullshit.

Now, how is it that you can
make all these devices

from shoe strings
and band-aids and shit,

but you can't fix
a simple pocket watch?

Well, it's not really broken.

It's just waiting for the right time
to start working again.

I smell that inclination
you were talking about.

Everything happens in the precise
sequence that it should,

just like the watch,

just like life.

See?

How's it going?

Five more radios
delivered.

We've established contact.
So far, so good.

By the way, Markus,
thanks for trusting me enough

to let me run
the comm room again.

Don't thank me. Thank Erin.

It was her idea.

It's a good idea, either way.

We'll see.

So have all of our teams
reported in?

Except for Jeremiah,
Kurdy, and Smith.

Remember when you were a kid,

there was always two or three
kids in the back of the class,

you always had to keep them apart
or nothing ever got done?

(screeching)

What's the matter?

Some kind of feedback.
It's gone now.

Might be a problem with the
equipment, the relay circuits.

You should
have that looked at.

Yeah, will do.

Let me know the minute you hear
from Jeremiah and the rest of ratpacker.

Their first stop was Sandor's.
They should be there by now.

Assuming nothing
went wrong...

It was a simple little errand.

What could go wrong?

This is an
unfortunate necessity.

It didn't have to be this way.

You were given a choice...

to follow Daniel to victory,

or stand helplessly
beside the alliance.

You chose unwisely.

The alliance allows this
to happen to you

by misleading you with promises
they could never make.

The alliance
started this fight.

We're going to finish it.

That's a promise I can keep.

(gunshot)

(screaming)

I don't understand
why I'm the only one

who has to clean all the fish.

Because we've got
seniority.

And style. Don't forget style.

And style.

Now, when we finish eating,

we should be able to make it
to Sandor's before dark.

Markus thinks it's safer

if we get on foot
and make these deliveries.

Yeah, he always thinks that.

No such thing as safe, man.

Not this side of the grave,
anyway.

What about Libby?

We thought she was safe.
Look what happened to her.

Aah!

You okay?

Yeah. I just cut myself.

Well, don't bleed
on my fish.

Well, you know, Markus
isn't totally wrong, you know?

Sandor's town is as close
to Daniel's turf

as we want to get.

He just wants
to make sure

nobody sees us
bringing these things in.

It's not like
they've got spies

lurking in every
dark corner.

That's not the
way they work.

Right, Smith?

Smith?

Smith?

We can't wait here anymore.

We have to go into town.
Right now!

Oh, man. It's one of those
"God said" looks.

I recognize it.

Oh, shit.

Sandor.

Damn fuck!

It looks like everybody who could
get out did, and those who didn't...

You know what?
We shouldn't have stopped.

We should never
have fucking stopped.

Yeah, if we didn't stop,
we'd be dead right now.

Look around, man.

You think three guys did this?

- 10? 20?
- So?

It would take a small army
to do this much damage this fast.

We could've done something.

It's bad enough that we have to
carry around guilt

for everything we've done
in our lives.

You want to start carrying guilt
for shit we haven't done?

Come on.

We should call Markus
and tell him what happened.

- We have them?
- Yeah, I've got Kurdy on the line,

but I'm still getting
that feedback.

Do what you can
to filter it out.

Kurdy?
Kurdy, you there?

Yeah, we're here,
but Three Hills is gone.

Looks like they swept in

and killed everybody
they could find,

and scared
everybody else away.

Shit.

Yeah, that's how
we felt about it.

It's probably Sims again too.

(feedback screech continues)

Thing is...

this is big, Markus.

I mean,
this was a full-out assault.

There are more dead bodies
here than we have ever seen.

Okay, we have to find out where
the hell these guys are going.

From the tire prints,
it looks like they head north,

which means they could be
headed anywhere.

Clarefield, Silver City...

hell, they could
even be headed toward...

Milhaven.

Damn.

Okay, get the hell
out of there

in case they left
any patrols behind

looking for stragglers.

Yeah, right, we'll...

(screeching)

Kurdy?

Kurdy...

Turn it off.

Okay, whatever
the hell that is,

we have to get it fixed.
This is exactly the wrong time

to be having problems
with the radio.

I've had them
check it three times.

They still can't
find anything...

Tell them
to check it again.

If we don't find out
where Sims is heading,

we'll have a lot more towns
that end up like Three Hills.

Come on, Smith.
We've got to go.

(metal crunching)

Guys, I think
I just found something.

What?

It's a fucking landmine.

We're in a minefield.

Yeah,
I'm way ahead of you on that.

Probably a parting gift
from Sims.

This mine doesn't go off
when you step on it,

but when you step off.

- Don't move, Smith.
- Don't worry.

I'm not going anywhere.

If I can get my knife between

your shoe and the mine...

Look Kurdy, I don't think that's
a good idea. Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait. There's no point in
all three of us getting blown up.

Why don't you guys
just back off,

and I'll figure
something out?

And have your death
on my conscience? No way.

No, no. We came in here
together.

We're going out together.
You got it?

All right, Smith,
step off slowly.

- Are you sure?
- Slowly.

What about you?

We need to get something heavy
to put on the knife.

Maybe one of the radios
out of the back of the truck.

Watch where you step.

Hold on, bro.

Careful, Smith.

Watch your step.

Put the radio
on the knife, okay?

Be careful.

Careful.

Did you learn that
back at the Mountain?

I picked up a few things
here and there

before I met you.

Oh, shit!

Fuck!

Oh...

Okay, that was close.

But, like I always say,
any mine you...

Shit.

I said, "Any mine
you can walk away from."

I didn't say anything
about driving.

Fuck. Next town's
probably down that way.

They might have something
we can use to get to Milhaven.

(harmonica playing "When
the Saints Go Marching In")

Hi.

Hello there.

What's that?

Ever heard one
of these before?

It's called a harmonica.

Come on over here,
take a closer look.

Did you like my song?

Where are you from?

Silver City.

Want to hear some more?

You try.

You'll get better
with practice.

Put out your hand.

A present from Daniel.

Thanks, Mister.

I've got to show my mom.

Say, "Thank you, Daniel."

Thank you, Daniel.

Sir, our source
just called in.

Thunder Mountain's heard about
the attack on Three Hills.

They're starting
to look around,

trying to figure out
where we're going.

Good.

Our little endeavor

should give them
cause to look here,

where we want them
to look.

Have we heard
from the other team?

Yes, sir. They're finished up
and on their way back.

Oh, good. Let's move out.

Sad about Silver City?

Yes, sir. Very sad.

This is pretty fucked.

We don't even know if we're
headed in the right direction.

We got off the main road...

now where the hell
are we?

Of course we're going
in the right direction.

Based on the position
of the sun,

factoring in the Earth's
winter rotation,

combined with
the physical evidence

of the moss growing on
that side of that tree,

we are definitely
going south.

At least he
makes it sound good.

Plus I saw a sign that said
"Cold Creek, 20 miles"

back that way.

You know, next time,

remind me to leave you
on the bomb.

Sorry.

It's not your fault, Smith.
It's just the way my life is.

We're supposed to be
on vacation,

we almost get
blown up twice.

You can't blame yourself
for that, man.

Hell I can't.

I mean, you guys, Markus,
Milhaven, Libby.

She'd probably still
be alive right now

if I told her
to stay home,

just stay in Milhaven.

It's not your fault, Jeremiah.

How do you know
it's not my fault, Smith?

If it's not my fault,
whose fault is it?

Huh?

Just keep walking.

You look like shit.

Thanks. That's the look
I was going for.

Did you send out the alert?

We contacted our
long-range survey teams,

told them to keep a lookout
for Sims or his people.

Good.

One problem... whatever's
wrong with the radio,

it's gotten so bad, we're only
getting sporadic reports,

enough to know something bad
is happening northeast,

- but that's about it.
- Okay. Then tell everybody

to concentrate on the area
northeast of Three Hills,

and pull out all
our local teams if you have to.

Okay, I will.

Will you get
some rest now?

No. There's no time.

Sims is still out there,
I don't know where he is,

and with our radios out,

I don't know if I can find him
before he hits the next town.

I can't coordinate a defense.

Do you know how many times you said
"I" in that statement?

You can't carry this yourself.
We're with you.

I know. I know, Erin.

I don't even know
where we should start.

We'll figure it out.

What makes you so sure?

I know you.

I know you.

All right, five minutes.

We rest for five minutes,

and we keep going.

How much further, Smith?

About two and a half miles
due south.

How are you
holding up?

I'm fine.

You will make it,
you know.

I mean, I got your back,
you got mine, all that.

- I know.
- Like I said,

I can't have your death
on my conscience.

I couldn't live with it.

I couldn't handle
all that noise.

What?

Nothing.

I gotta take a piss.

Smith?

Look, if you came out here
to pee,

you're going about it
the wrong way.

What's up?

Nothing.

Don't tell me nothing.

There's something rattling around
in that brain. What is it?

Did God
say something?

What, am I going to have
three-headed children or something?

What?

(crying)

I can't handle it anymore,
Kurdy.

I can't.

Every time he says something,

he talks about Libby,

about how it's his fault.

It's like...

Like what?

When we were back at Innsmouth,
I followed Libby,

and Sims and his people
brought her to this church,

and I followed her,
and I saw her talking to Sims.

She was working for him...

For Daniel.

She was spying on us
the whole time, Kurdy.

She was telling them
everything we were doing.

She was lying to all of us.

Worst of all,
she was lying to Jeremiah.

She was using him...

And after he was gone,
I caught her,

and it was like...

It was like
she was a different person,

the way she was looking at me.

I tried to get through to her.

I don't want
to hurt you, Libby.

(Smith):
I tried to talk to her.

I just kept thinking
there's some way,

there's some way
for it to work out.

You don't hurt me,

and I don't hurt you,

and we'll
work this out together.

She just...

She shot me.

I just fired back.
It was instinct...

And I watched her die...

And I watched her die.

Oh, hell.

I didn't have any choice.

I just...

I killed Libby.

It wasn't Jeremiah's fault.

It wasn't anybody's fault
but mine.

I'm sorry.

God, I'm sorry.

I swear,
I didn't want it to happen.

I was trying to save her.

You've got to tell Jeremiah.

What?

Smith...

He can never find out
about this.

It would destroy him.

I mean, it's bad enough
that I have to carry this around,

to know what she was.

I can't do that to him,

and neither should you.

I can't promise you that,
Smith.

Jeremiah's my friend,

and it's not fair to have him
keep on loving a lie.

Well, the question is,
where do we go from here?

We go on to Cold Creek.

Gabriel.

Jacob.

Welcome.

What's all this?

Every conquering general

should have
his portrait painted,

especially on the eve of victory.

What's wrong with a photo?
It's faster.

I could have a picture taken,

but I find a photograph
fails to capture the soul,

the true essence
of the moment.

Painting is not about truth.

It is about the interpretation
of truth.

Every painter
is a politician at heart.

Isn't that right, Samuel?

Queen's rook
to queen's four.

King's bishop
to queen's knight six.

How are things in Cold Creek?

Good.

We were able to move in without much
opposition. Everything's in place.

We've been jamming their frequency
for the last little while.

There are little breaks here and there,
where they can talk,

but we'll have that
fixed soon.

Now that's done,
we're ready for phase two.

How many men
do you have with you?

I can only afford a dozen.

Any more than that
and I can't move quietly.

I'm sure I've made more than
enough noise to cover you,

keep their eyes
trained elsewhere,

so they don't look

where I don't
want them to look.

King's pawn
to king's three.

Not to worry.

I'll keep hitting them
and drawing their fire

while you do
what you have to.

By now, we've got them
looking in so many places,

they don't know whether
to shit or go blind.

Queen's knight to king four.

You sure about that?

I am.

The key, Jacob,

is to always think
seven moves ahead,

and the only way to do that
is to see the whole board.

If you don't see
the whole board,

you can't play the game.

Check.

You always were a sucker
for a forking check.

The knight attacks the king and
another piece at the same time.

It's a favorite move of mine.

Are you sure you're ready
to break off

and go after
the primary target?

They won't even know
we're there

until we're ready
to announce ourselves.

Good.

You should be on your way.

I'll gather our forces
and await your signal.

By the time they figure out
what's been going on,

we should be
where we need to be.

Finish this later.

See you on
the other side, Jacob.

I enjoy your attention

to light and shadow.

It ties everything together,

but my figure should
fill the frame.

How come
we never heard of this?

There wasn't
that many people

when I last came
through here.

They probably saw this heavy
artillery and went into hiding.

Since then...

Since then we've been
too distracted,

and maybe
that's the point.

Don't you think that's why
they hit Three Hills,

to create a distraction?

Get everybody looking elsewhere
while they were here.

What the hell is that thing?

(Kurdy): I don't know.
It looks like a satellite dish.

Smith,
you're the gadget guy...

(screeching)

Hey, that's that sound
I heard on the radio

talking to Markus
just before we got cut off.

It's a radio
jamming device.

I don't need God on this one.

The feedback, the power lines,
the dish...

They've probably
got enough power

to cut the alliance communication
for 100 miles in any direction.

Look at that.

Markus barely gets his communications
system up and running,

and these guys
are tearing it down.

Well, we've got
to take that thing out.

You think
they're screwing with us now?

If they start to move on us
in a big way,

and we're caught
deaf, dumb, and blind...

An operation this big,
you know they've got supplies.

They've got weapons,
drills to cut through shit,

even explosives.

Yeah, well, we'll take
a look tonight. Come on.

All right.
You handle this.

I'll get the wheels.

Kurdy, get out!

Jeremiah, let's go!

So what are you
going to do...

About Jeremiah?

I'm still thinking
about it, Smith.

Are you sure the jamming device
is out of commission?

Uh, yeah,
I'm pretty sure.

You could see the explosion
for about a half a mile.

It was pretty cool.

The last reports
we've received,

the enemy forces
had left Cold Creek.

Sims is heading
east again,

probably to regroup on the border
of Daniel's territory.

So the attacks
on these towns,

everything they were doing

was just a diversion
to take our attention

away from what was going on
at Cold Creek?

At least we now know
what they're up to.

Do we? There's something
that's still bothering me.

Why go through
all the trouble

of diverting our attention

away from
the jamming device

unless it was a part
of something bigger?

I mean, sooner or later,
we were going to find it, right?

So why push this so hard?

And then, after all that,
suddenly turn around and regroup?

Markus, we've settled this.

If Cold Creek was
a primary operation,

why not leave your troops there,
and then take out

what you absolutely needed
for the raids?

But you said there was a fairly small
number of troops present.

Wait, so you're saying
that it wasn't the primary target?

I'm saying
we don't know.

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.

It's a two-pronged operation,
that we know for certain,

but there's still a piece of the puzzle
that's missing.

Something that doesn't add up.

I don't know.
Maybe there is.

Maybe that's all
there is to it.

I mean, he's got us so scared, we're
out there chasing shadows, Markus.

I hope you're right, Jeremiah.
I truly do.

What we do know is that,
based on the jamming device,

the war is coming,
and it's coming soon.

We have to get ready, because
there's still too much information

that we don't know,

too much that's important
that we need to know.

The enemy has shown
that they are capable

of reaching
into parts of our territory

we wouldn't
expect them to reach.

We need to look for trouble
in unexpected places,

'cause it's what we don't know
that will kill us.

(ticking)

It's begun.

I'm an idiot.

It's not a two-pronged attack.
It's a three-pronged attack.

That's why Sims
wasn't at Cold Creek.

That's why the diversion.

But if it's
a three-pronged attack...

Where's the third one?

(dialing)

(Sims):
Yes?

Are your men in position?

They are.

We're ready to
begin phase two.

Is this close enough, sir?

Couldn't be better.
