Previously onJeremiah...

In recent days,

we've made contact
with at least 20 groups

that we believe offer
potentially important alliances

for our future endeavors.

Someone at
the end of the world wants to see me

so we can discuss
putting Theo back in her rightful position.

Now that Valhalla sector's starting to move,

this may be our last chance
to put up a united front

before they come after us.

You were spying on us.

I was working
for Jeremiah's father.

I'm taking the rover
and going back to the mountain.

This so-called
partnership is over.

We gather here today
in a common cause

because the desires
that unite us

are greater than the forces
that divide us.

In the coming days,

we will carve out
a framework for a new country

and a new future,

because if we fail
to do so,

others will do it for us.

We, the survivors
of the Big Death,

have grown to adulthood

in the shadow
of the greatest disaster

the world has ever known.

The last 16 years have been
unimaginably brutal,

but there comes a time

when you have to stop
looking backward

and start looking forward.

Starting today,

we begin putting
the world back together again.

In this room,

we will determine
the shape of the world to come.

We will hammer out
the rules and discuss the issues,

and in a peaceful
and constructive fashion

craft a New World
out of the ashes of the old.

What do you think?

It was...

It was great. Really.

You don't think
it was over-written?

No, no, it's...

Well, just a little.

Don't you think
you're putting

a little too much pressure
on yourself?

This is what
we've been working on

ever since the Big Death.

This is a chance
to put together a new alliance

that can start
putting the country back together again.

We have to get
these regional leaders

to sign onto the idea
of a new constitution,

a new American Alliance,

because if they
don't go for it,

all our dreams
end right here.

It has to be right.

I know, and really,
it's... it's...

inspiring.

Basically, what
you're saying is I'm a dead man.

Basically, yeah.

Okay. Let them in.

Okay, I'll let them in.

Any word on
how it's going so far?

No, but Markus
is a great talker, Libby.

I mean, he's the best.

I'm sure he's got
these people eating out of his hand by now.

- Do you think?
- Are you kidding? Absolutely.

If I don't get some peace
and quiet soon,

someone's going
to get their ass kicked.

Maybe we should
come back later.

Later is good.

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.

♪ In a world
Where we can be free ♪

♪ I believe

I understand
that until now

you haven't wanted to
share your resources with others,

but guaranteeing
safe passage

between all the groups
represented here

is the only way
we can start

putting this country
back together again.

Right now that's from
the western edge of Arizona--

That's your area,
Hernandez--

Through Minnesota
on the east.

And free passage
means free passage, Sandor.

No way.

Look, we just barely
got ourselves together,

and winter's coming.

We're short on food,
supplies, you name it,

so anybody comes
through my turf

with supplies
for somebody else,

you have to pay a tax.

That's not workable.

And how can we pull
the country together

when the country
doesn't even have a name yet?

Shouldn't we be
doing that first?

Yeah, I say we call it

the United States
of Enrique Hernandez.

Hey, your ass is
big enough to be the country, all right?

So sit your
country ass down.

You want a piece of this,
huh, Sandor?

Do I want a piece of you?

Sit your punk ass down.

Okay. Lunch.

Got a sec?

Sure, come on in.

So, how's it going

with the rest
of the founding fathers?

Ugly.

I just don't think
they're taking this seriously.

Well, should they?

Shouldn't they?

Think about it.

Everybody in there

got to where they are
by fighting everybody else.

They have pushed
and pulled and bit and scratched their way

into running a town,

and then a couple of towns,
and then more...

and every step of the way,

they've had somebody
trying to con them or take it all away.

Now, you think
guys like this

are going to bend over
just 'cause we ask them to?

I know, it's just--

They want to believe.
They do.

You can see it
in their eyes.

For 16 years, they've fought
to build something,

and they don't want it
to end when they die.

They want to believe
in all of this,

just like I did
when I got here,

but in the outside world,
it's hard to trust anybody.

So what did you want
to see us about?

I need to get back
on the road.

Now, I know we've all
been through a lot lately,

but I need to get away
from this place.

I mean, the memories...

You know?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Of course, that means
finding you a new partner,

with you and Jeremiah
split up.

Yeah, well,
I have a thought on that one.

You know
the new guy, Smith?

This guy that calls himself
Mister Smith,

thinks God talks to him?

Yeah, that one.

Kurdy,

aside from the fact
that he's new and untested,

and maybe a little bit...

I don't know,
what's a good word?

- Nuts?
- Nuts. Nuts. Excellent word.

Aside from all of that,
there are better people.

He saved my life. Twice.

So give him a medal
or a piece of cake.

Whenever there's
something we want Markus to do,

and he doesn't
want to do it,

we tell him
there's cake involved.

Works every time.

When I was in charge
of the prison break in Milhaven,

you told me to pick
lieutenants I trusted.

I didn't know
you meant Smith.

He saved my life,
Markus, twice.

Now, I think
he's a little nuts, too,

but you show me
one person

who didn't come out
of the Big Death

a little fucked up.

I trust this guy,

and all he wants
to do is help.

That you want to repay him
for saving your life is admirable,

but I have to keep focus
on the bigger picture.

Part of that is making
team assignments

based on what's best
for everybody,

not just one person.

I bust my ass
for this place, Markus.

I risk my life
for this place,

and you want
to blow me off

with "what's best
for everybody shit"?

How about what's best
to keep me alive?

I understand your passion,
but the decision is mine.

I'm sorry, Kurdy.

He said yes, right?

I told you he'd say yes.

God said I was going
to be your partner.

He said no, okay? No.

And that God bullshit

is probably
the biggest reason.

I don't understand.

What I hear,
it's never wrong.

Well, it is,

and maybe that should be
your first clue, Smith.

It ain't God, it's just you.

It's just you,
and it's just me,

and I got things to do,
so I will see you around.

♪ Don't be afraid
Of the moment ♪

♪ This could be
The chance of a lifetime ♪

♪ All my life...

- Hey.
- Hi.

Sorry. It isn't
too loud, is it?

No, no. It's, um,
it's great.

It's just, you know,
since I got here,

I've noticed
there's not a whole lot of music around.

I figured there was a rule
or something.

The search teams
had different priorities.

They were looking for food,
medicine, supplies.

Music isn't a priority?

I don't know how anyone
could live in a world without music.

It makes me feel alive.

Dance with me.

No. I--I don't,
uh, dance.

Dance with me.

Well, that wasn't so hard,
was it?

Says you.

You were looking for me. Why?

I don't remember.

Are you ready
for round two?

Mm-hmm.

Good, because I've noticed
you've been pretty quiet so far.

Mm-hmm.

Well, that's hardly
the Theo we've all come to know

and mostly tolerate.

Mm-hmm.

Is that all
you have to say?

Never talk with
your mouth full.

Your mother
tell you that?

No, a hooker.

I could've gone all day
without knowing that.

Oh. You asked.

And don't worry,
when it's time for Theo to talk,

she'll talk.

You want a bite?-No.

Markus, good.

Uh, Lee, now is not
a good time.

I just thought
you should know.

Everybody coming here
for the meeting

has been accounted for,
except the Minnesota group.

They may be in trouble.

And this is based on?

They were keeping
in radio contact

with their home base
every couple of hours.

They signed off
this morning

and haven't been
heard from since,

and it's in an area
north of here

that's had other reports
of people disappearing.

Okay, I'll look into it,

but Lee, you're not head
of security anymore.

Your people still think
they work for you,

but in the future,

any time you get
information like this before I get it,

you'll both
be out of here.

Am I clear?

Kurdy, good,
thanks for coming.

You know Trent, right?

He's been attached to
one of our long-range survey teams.

- How you doing?
- Fine.

Trent's your new partner.

So what's the job?

There were about
six people coming here from Minnesota.

They fell off
the edge of the world

about a hundred miles
north from here.

There's been no word,
no explanation.

Even their own people
don't know what happened,

so they might be
in serious trouble,

and I need you
to find them.-Fine.

This is where
they were last seen,

so my guess is
they disappeared

along this stretch
of road right here.

All right, I'm on it.

And I'll get back
to the zoo now.

Okay, see you later.

You ready to go?

I was born ready.

Trust me, Kurdy,
in the years to come,

you'll look back
at the day, you got me as your partner

as the luckiest day
in your life.

Well, if this is as good
as it gets,

I might as well
kill myself now to get it over with.

Hey, you're a lot
better off

than you were
with your old partner.

Whoa.

Come on, Jeremiah's a flake,
everybody knows it.

Let's get something
straight, Trent.

Every time I was in a place
where I thought

I was not going to
get out of there alive,

there was always
a little part of my brain

telling me,
"Don't worry about it.

Jeremiah will have
my back,"

and in every situation,
he did,

so you have
a long way to go

before you prove
the same thing to me,

and meanwhile,

you got something
to say about Jeremiah,

keep it to yourself.

Look, Markus,

you're living
in a dream world

if you think we can just
sign off on this shit.

"The rights
of the individual

to own and possess
private property

shall not be abridged
by the state."

What's wrong with that?

For 16 years,

the only way
you could keep something

was if you were
strong enough to hold onto it.

It's not like
you could call the police.

That's my point.

You want to enforce
this stuff?

You want to put
some kind of lame-ass police force together,

pay for it,
all that shit?

I say if you got
a problem,

you deal with
it yourself, one on one.

If you're not strong enough
to defend yourself,

you deserve what you get.

Nobody ever gave me
a hand coming up.

I had to fight
for everything I got.

Now you're starting to
sound like Daniel.

"Only the strong survive."

Look, Sandor,
just because I don't buy into

everything Daniel says,

doesn't mean he's wrong
about the rest.

Now, what do you
guys think?

- You're Sandor?
- Yeah.

Jeremiah. Heard you
wanted to see me.

Yeah, I do.

Come on,
let's step outside.

So, the word
on the street

is that you're gonna
take over that place

Valhalla sector
used to run, Milhaven.

- That true?
- Well, maybe. Why?

Lot of trade
goes through Milhaven. - Yeah.

A guy could do
real good for himself in a setup like that,

real good.

You stick with Markus,
you'll do okay,

but once you're there,
you're there,

you know what I'm saying?

You could work with
anybody you want,

make any deal
you want.

So if you ever decide
you want to leave Markus

and work with
somebody else,

you know
where to find me.

You help me, I help you,
everybody wins.

Everybody except Markus.

I heard you were
a smart guy.

I just thought
maybe we could come

to some kind
of mutual understanding.

We just did.

Theo?

Uh, Theo...

anybody ever explain
the concept of privacy to you?

The door was open.

An inch. One inch,

but I can see how you could
look at an inch

and think it was
a lot more.

So what do you want?

I keep hearing
about this guy, Daniel.

The way everybody talks,
he sounds like a pretty big guy.

I figured if anybody'd
know about him, you would.

Why don't you ask Markus?

He's heard of Daniel,
same as me.

Markus is busy.

I just found out,
so you're the one I'm asking,

unless you're too busy
in there, blowing chunks.

Why don't you go
to whatever's left of the East Coast,

and ask about Daniel,
or the Tall Man.

He goes by that one, too.

They say he's like
one of those guys from out of the old world,

tall and straight,
good teeth,

and eyes that see
straight through you till Sunday,

and when he speaks,
you listen.

He's building something
out there,

something big and scary.

Scary how?

Depends on who
you talk to.

They say he's got these slave
labor camps going,

and anybody who goes
into his territory

without any kind
of resources,

they grab 'em up
and put 'em to work.

Is he part of a group
like this?

Like this one?

Oh, no.

From what I understand,

Daniel would never put up
with the kind of bullshit

we got going on here.

Oh, no. You don't argue
with Daniel and live.

There are no states,
no groups, just Daniel,

and all the people
that decided to follow him,

put him in charge.

President, dictator,
number one,

call him whatever
you like, it's not good.

The thing is,
I've heard stories like this before

and it always turns out
to be just bullshit.

Have you ever
actually seen Daniel?

Nope.

Then how do you even
know he's real?

When I was a young girl,
I was living up by Wyoming.

We had a flood, real bad.

It washed out houses, trees,
and a whole side of a hill,

And where that hill
used to be,

we saw these footprints,
real old and real big,

Like this big around.

Dinosaur footprints.

And they had to be there
for, like...

Well, for
a very long time.

Now, you ask me,
I ever see a dinosaur?

No, but I can look at
those footprints,

and I know sure as hell
something made 'em,

something big.

And you ask me
if I ever see Daniel?

No...

but I have seen
the trail he leaves where he walks,

and the effect
he has on other people,

and they mark the passing
of something awfully big,

and awfully dangerous.

So this is the border
between what's weird and what ain't.

Our people disappeared

somewhere between here
and the next 30-40 miles,

so I figure 20 minutes
to stretch our legs,

take a whiz,
then we move on.

I don't want to waste time.

Good, because
I'm known for the whole time-wasting thing.

You know,
admitting your problem

is the first step
toward dealing with it.

- Something bothering you?
- Besides you?

I keep getting
this feeling

like there's somebody
following us.

Right, like there's
somebody following us on foot.

Hey. How's it going?

I see you're packing up.

Guess since you
and Kurdy aren't working together for a while,

they want you
somewhere else.

Yeah, moving's
always a hassle.

Anyway, we haven't had
much chance to talk since we got back,

so I thought I'd see
how you were doing.

See, the problem is,
I never had a chance to explain

what I was doing,
and why.

Markus is a great guy,
but he's strong-willed.

If I'd let him know
about the brothers of the apocalypse,

about Milhaven,

he would've gone out there

and brought
Valhalla sector down on us

before we were
ready for them.

He always leads
with his chin, you know?

Look, I gave your dad
the information he needed

to make sure
we stayed clear of trouble,

and I gave Valhalla sector
just enough information

to make them think
we weren't a threat to them.

I was buying time
for all of us.

I thought it was
the right thing to do.

I was just trying
to help.

Whether he knows it or not,

Markus needs me
running security again.

I'm the only one
he can trust.

I need your help,
Jeremiah.

I need you
to talk to Markus for me.

Is there anything
I can do?

Short of contracting
a lingering disease,

resulting in
a painful death

with lots of kicking
and screaming,

not a thing.

Then I guess we have
something in common.

Neither of us knows
where we fit in anymore.

Hey, Trent.

Was that fire going
when we pulled up?

'cause I don't remember
seeing it.

How the hell
should I know?

Hey, Kurdy.
Check it out.

I spelled my name out.

Oh, good.
You found it.

Are you hungry?
Want something to eat?

What are--

How the hell did--

What?

You're here.

Good observation.

You were just
at the mountain.

Good memory.

So how the hell
did you get from there to here?

I have ways.

Look, Smith,

I don't know
what the hell it is you think you're doing--

I'm not doing anything.

You're following me.

I'm your partner.

You are not my partner.
Do I have to draw a picture for you?

No.

Want me to take
your picture?

What?

It's a pinhole camera.

I use it to chronicle
where I've been, what I've seen.

Sometimes I keep
the pictures.

Sometimes
I give them away.

Sometimes I just
tear them up.

Why? Because
they're no good?

No, it's just
that sometimes

there are things
in the pictures that shouldn't be there.

I'll show you
how it works.

Hey, if he's leaving
without me--

- You know, I could--
- No, no. You stay right there.

Don't move.

Hey, Trent.

What the hell
are you--

Trent...

Trent, are you okay?

We know who
you're looking for.

Your friend here
filled us in

while you were asleep.

It just took
a little encouragement,

but we got the job done.

You looking for
your people?

We've got
some of them

right up there
in those cages.

Those that're left, anyway.

Before the others died,

they told us
what was going on,

that the government's
coming back,

law's coming back.

We don't want
any part of that.

We used to work alone,
me and the guys,

then we found each other,
started working together.

See, folks think
that people like us don't exist anymore,

that we're part
of some bad memory.

That makes them stupid.

Most people are stupid.

That's why
they don't deserve to live.

I love to kill people.

All of us here,
we love to watch them die.

Sometimes I'll shoot
somebody in the head,

and watch them
wriggle and squirm all over the place.

T.K. here,
he likes to cut 'em,

lots of little cuts,
then bigger cuts,

until their faces
turn all white.

We catch 'em,
bring 'em here, and cage 'em,

just like you guys right now,

and we do it to 'em

because we can,
'cause they're stupid.

Question is,

are you guys
smart enough to do the right thing?

I want you to go back
and tell your people

that the killing
they're gonna see here today

Is just a start.

If you don't leave us alone,

let us keep doing
what we're doing,

'cause we've got
a lot more people like us coming,

And we got plans,
big plans.

We got all
kinds of weapons,

and we'll come
and kill you in your sleep.

We'll kill all your people
when they come through here.

We want to send
that message back

to where
you guys come from,

so we're going to let
one of you guys go,

just one.

You decide who goes
and who stays.

Not a chance.

You let both of us go
or nobody goes,

or you can go straight--

I'll do it.

What?

I'll go.

Good man.

Smart man.

But we got
to give you something to take back with you,

so your people know
we mean what we say.

Cut off his hand.

Right hand,
left hand, whatever.

I got a better idea.

Hey, check it out.

Smith? Get the hell
outta here, man.

Shut up.

What do you want?

Take me instead.

Let him go.

It doesn't work like that.

It's not who goes,
who stays,

it's one goes,
and whoever's left stays,

and we do
what we want with 'em.

You're one stupid
son of a bitch, you know?

No.

Actually, I know
a lot of things you don't know.

Oh, yeah?

And what do you know
that I don't know?

You watch those two.

You are coming with me.

No, no!

No!

How do you
know her name?

Huh?

How the hell
do you know her name?

I have a message
for you.

Not just for you,
about you.

All about you.

God says,
"You can't hide.

My eye sees you

and all the darkness
that's inside of you.

Listen. Listen..."

He wants to talk to you.

Now!

He knew everything.

He knew it all.

There's only one way out.

Just one way.

All right,
you guys are safe now.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey, you remember
what you were going to ask me?

No, but I do have
another question. You got a minute?

Yeah, sure,
I'm just killing time

before your dad
gets back from Valhalla sector

and puts me to work.

Good, because
that's what I want to talk to you about.

Listen, did my dad
ever say anything

about Lee
working for him?

Sometimes.

I kind of got the feeling
it was a touchy issue,

you know,
that there were times

that Devon didn't know
if he could really trust Lee.

So, what, you think
Lee was holding stuff back from him,

just like he was from us?

This one time,
they had a really big argument,

about you, actually.

Lee was supposed
to bring Markus into the whole loop

about Valhalla sector
and who Devon really was

around the middle
of last year.

At the last minute,
you know,

Devon changed his mind,

said he knew that
if you found out he was alive,

you'd head to Valhalla
like a bullet,

and things would
end up, well...

Going pretty much
about as wrong as they ended up going.

So you're saying
that I'm the reason he lied to Markus?

You're just the reason
he kept lying to Markus

when the time
to tell the truth had come.

- You did good, Kurdy.
- It wasn't me,

it was the guy
you thought was too nuts

to work with me, remember?

Yeah, I remember,
and it got me to thinking.

We all have to make
our own choices.

I made one for you,
and it nearly got you killed,

so I think from now on,

maybe you can choose
your own partners.

If they're good
enough for you,

they're good
enough for me.

I'm not saying
we don't have our differences.

I'm not saying
it's going to be easy

to work those
differences out.

I'm just saying
that we stand a better chance

of working them
out together than as separate groups,

eating up what's left
of our resources.

I've dedicated my life

to the idea of bringing
the government back,

maybe better
than it was before,

more tolerant,

kinder,

a government that lifts up
instead of grinds down,

that ennobles us

and gives us the only gifts
that really matter--

Dignity, courage, hope.

We're not going
to solve all our differences here today,

but we've had a chance
to hear from everybody.

Now comes the time to decide
on the question before us.

Are you,
all of you, willing, today,

to unite into
a new American Alliance?

I want us to decide,
yes or no.

Markus,

truth is, we haven't heard
from everybody,

so let me ask you
a question.

Is there something
you don't want us to hear?

No.

Anybody who wants
to speak can do so, it's just that--

Then check your front door,
and open it.

Company's coming.

Hi.

Good to see you.

My name is Vincent,

and we heard
about this gathering

all the way
back on the East Coast.

"We" being Daniel,

and those of us
who believe in him.

Now, we've heard

that things haven't
been going too well here,

that there's been
some disagreements,

problems.

Well, that's only natural,

and bound to occur
in the absence of a strong leader.

So...

Daniel sent me
to extend you his personal invitation.

Join with us.

We've made
quite a comeback.

We have much to offer.

And how have you
made this comeback? I'm sorry?

Through hard work
and discipline.

And, from what I hear,
it's slave labor.

We have created
a work force

from those who had
no other options anyway.

We gave them purpose.

We have direction.

They need direction.

It's win-win all the way.

For Daniel, sure.

From the way
I understand it,

he set himself up
as a benign dictator,

if there is such a thing.

Daniel was given
the reins of power freely, by the people.

One leader, one voice.

Daniel speaks for all of us,
and things get done,

but we're willing to share,
to invite you to join us

and create
a new and better world.

Can I say something?

You're Theo, aren't you?

We've heard a lot about you.

Now, the problem with Markus

is that he kind of
put the cart before the horse,

because he didn't think
that he could sell us on him.

He could have used force,

because this place
has all the force,

all the nukes,
anybody could ask for,

but he didn't.

He tried to sell us
on his ideas,

but people
don't follow ideas.

They follow the man
who has the ideas.

Even if that man
is less than perfect?

Hell, yeah.

I don't want to follow
somebody perfect,

'cause I like telling people
when they're wrong,

and being eccentric
that way

is just one of
the perks you get when you're pregnant.

You didn't say anything.

Wasn't anybody's business
till now,

and the thing is,

I want my child to grow up
in a better world

than the one
I got stuck with,

and I have
to ask myself,

who is going
to do that for me?

You?

I'd rather follow the man

who has the power
and doesn't use it,

who has the ideas,

who thinks that they're
better than he is,

than the man
who likes power too much

and will do anything
to get it,

the man who thinks
that he is bigger than the ideas.

I am with Markus
and his Alliance.

Anybody wants out,
leave now,

and don't let the door
hit you in the ass on the way out.

But if you want to stay
and unite behind Markus,

then stand up and let's see
what you've got.

We've come all this way.

Are we going to create
a New World right now

or not?

Stand up.

Congratulations, people.

You just became
the government.

You, uh...

You will lose
in the end, you know.

See if you still
feel that way

the day you
open your eyes

and see us march
on this place, huh?

You wanted to see me?

Yes, Lee. We were just
talking about you.

So when's the hanging?

Well, you know
what they say.

Give the people
what they want,

they show up every time.

There isn't going
to be a hanging, Lee.

In fact, you may be
surprised to know

that Jeremiah
was just talking in your favor.

Why the change of heart?

That's between
Markus and me.

Let's just say there's a lot of
different sides

to this thing.

If you can do
some good--

And that's a big "if,"
as far as I'm concerned,

but I'm not going
to stand in the way of it--

If Markus knows
where he can use you, I won't oppose it.

So where do I stand?

My options are several-fold.

I could reinstate you
as head of security,

return you
to the general population

without rank,

imprison you for
an unspecified amount of time,

send you out
of the mountain, never to return.

To be honest, I'm favoring
the last two options,

and I'm still not sure
if that might not be best.

You can stay here
at the mountain on a probationary basis,

but you're no longer
head of security.

that role goes to Erin.

As far as
I'm concerned,

you're just another
pair of hands

to do the work
ahead of us.

In time, I hope
you'll earn back my trust,

but we'll have to see.

That's all.

Hey, Kurdy,

listen,

I want you to be
more careful with my vehicles, okay?

- It came back all messed up.
- Not my fault.

Yeah, it's always
somebody else.

We even had
a car go missing.

What?

- When?
- The same time you left.

I'd brought it in
to do some work on it, then it was gone.

Next thing I know,
it's back again today.

So that's how he did it.

So much for that
"i have my ways" mysterioso shit.

I don't care what he says.

It's still pretty mysterioso,
if you ask me.

We don't have
much gas to waste,

so when we bring in
the cars for work,

we drain all the gas out.

There was no gas
in that car when it went out,

no gas in it
when it came back.

How it went anywhere
is anybody's guess.

It's starting.
