Previously onJeremiah...

I'm tired.

Can I go home now?

I love you so much.

Meaghan!

We tried every man
for himself for 16 years.

It didn't work.
It's time for a change.

What's in it for us?

The alliance
has opened up trade routes

between a dozen states.

So far, we haven't had
any trouble

because we haven't taken sides.

They're building an army.

So are we.

If you're not strong enough
to defend yourself,

you deserve what you get.

Now, you're starting
to sound like Daniel...

Only the strong
survive.

God talks through me.

The reason I'm here
is to give you a message.

For me from God.

I didn't ask for this,
and I don't want this.

It's just... There.

Oh, good, Markus.
What are you doing here?

You're supposed
to be in Milhaven.

Well, they can get along
without me for a few days. You and I need to talk.

Now's not a good time.
I'm up to my ass in alligators.

I got half a dozen reps
from different communities

waiting to see me
about god knows what.

Well, the alligators can wait,

because I'm running out
of stuff in Milhaven.

I need concrete, I need pipes,

Electrical wire--

Yeah, yeah. We've had to divert
some of that

to other towns for a while.

Milhaven has been getting
a disproportionate amount of that stuff.

Dispropor--hey! Listen to me.

Those people are on my back
because of promises that you made.

I promised that
we'd rebuild Milhaven, and we will,

but we're not going
to do it overnight,

or by withholding help
to all the other towns

that we've promised to help.

Look, I'm not
unsympathetic, okay?

I'm not going to
leave you high and dry.

Check around the base.

See if there's anything
that we can give you that'll help for now.

If no one has dibs
on it, it's yours.

Oh, great, great.

Yeah, I'll check on that.

Hey, Kurdy,
what're you doing down here?

Brianna here called

and said I may
want to come down.

Wanted to be here
for the unveiling, huh?

Smith...

I'll feel good
when this thing's off.

As I mentioned
when they brought you in,

none of us--
none of the staff here--

are trained doctors.

We're all self-taught.

Yeah, I know,
after the big death,

there weren't a lot
of medical schools around.

You guys did a good job.

What I'm trying
to say is...

There's always a chance
we could be wrong.

Wrong about what?

The gunshot wound
you received at Innsmouth

cut across
some critical junctions.

There's inflammations
and lesions

all through the nerves
in that area.

That's the reason you haven't
been able to move it.

Yeah, but they'll
grow back, right?

I figured, with time and...

That's what
I've been trying to say.

Some nerve damage
can repair itself spontaneously,

or over time,

But that's extremely rare
in cases like yours,

where the damage
was so comprehensive.

It's just numb.

I mean, the binding
was really tight, so...

We need to keep it immobilized
for the time being,

to prevent any further damage
to the tissue.

We were hoping
there'd be some signs

of improvement
on your own,

something to give us
a reason to hope, but--

Wait a minute.
What're you saying?

That I'm paralyzed?

That my arm is...
Paralyzed?

Barring a miracle,

you're never going
to be able to move that arm again.

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.

♪ I can't let go

♪ I'm holding hope so tight

♪ It's hard to breathe
When the whole world falls ♪

♪ I'm gonna put the stars back
Back up in the sky ♪

♪ Let them all just shine down
I'm gonna try ♪

♪ I believe
We'll find the world together ♪

♪ Through your eyes

♪ That's all I can see

♪ I believe
We're looking at forever ♪

♪ In a world
Where we can be free ♪

♪ I believe

Oh, hey, Kurdy.
I was looking for you, man.

They told me you were
down at the cafeteria.

Yeah, I came
to check on Smith.

Figured he'd need
somebody to talk to.

It's okay. It's no big deal.

How's it going, Smith?
How's the arm?

Jeremiah,
this isn't a good time.

They say it's paralyzed,
but they could be wrong.

Yeah... Could be.

They are sometimes.

And if not, it's all right.
I've got a spare.

It's no big deal, really.

Of course, I probably will
need to figure something out

for this camera--a rope maybe--

So I can hang it around
my neck.

Well, I could find somebody
to do that for you.

Then I'll only need one hand
to take the cap off and put it back on.

That'd be great,

and I say, as long as I have
one good hand,

my love life's intact.

It's not a problem.

Got it!

Got it.

Look, Smith...

I know you were there

the night Libby was killed,

and you got hurt because
you did everything you could to help her.

Jeremiah...
I couldn't be there.

You were there.
You paid the price. I owe you.

No, you don't.

That's not your decision.
It's mine.

Anything you need...
Just let me know.

Jeremiah, you check in
with Markus when you came in?

Yeah, he's, uh...
Yeah, he was in a bad mood.

Must be something big
going on.

And we've had four cases now

where some of Daniel's people
have come across the border,

set some of our farms on fire--

We've had two convoys
of supplies hit in two weeks.

We took care of the team
that was hitting the convoys.

They should be safe
for a while.

And when they do come back,
what're you going to do to help us?

When we signed on,
you offered us protection,

but protection
doesn't mean squat

if it takes two or three days
for your people to show up,

And you're stretched thin
as it is.

Okay, but you know
our resources here are limited,

Particularly
in terms of manpower.

There are only a couple
of thousand of us living here.

So what do you want us to do?

Keep your promise.

I don't care how,
as long as you do it,

or this alliance of yours
is going to die at birth.

They're not wrong,
you know.

I know they're not wrong.

If they were wrong,
all this would be a hell of a lot easier.

We offered them protection.

We haven't followed up
as completely as we should.

There's no argument there.

You know what
we have to do, Markus.

We've talked about it.

That's why you have
me and Smith getting people to sign on.

You said at the very
beginning-- i know.

We're nibbling
around the edges of this.

- It's time to go flat out.
- They'll never go for it.

If they don't go for it,
then there's no alliance,

and if we don't
give them protection,

there's still no alliance,

so choose your poison,

because any way
you look at it, it's all bad.

You know what's funny
about me, Kurdy?

I have to pick just one?

I like putting things
together, always did.

Some kids
like taking things apart.

Me, I liked putting them
back together again.

When the adults died,
and we took over this place,

anytime something broke,
they brought it to me.

It was like this great escape,

figuring out how
A slotted into B,

fixing C and plugging into D,

and soon the whole thing
was up and running again.

I started this campaign

because I wanted to put
the country back together again.

I thought it would be like
inserting part A into slot B,

But...

It's not.

It's like putting
person A into foxhole B,

and shooting person C...

Or letting person C shoot...

everyone else.

I don't like sending people
out to die, Kurdy.

That's not what
I signed on for.

That's not what
I signed on for at all.

When you joined the alliance,
we promised you protection,

not only from Daniel's group,
but from other third parties.

We intend to keep
that promise.

Good. That's all
we needed to know.

As noted, we have
the weapons, the resources,

and the supplies
to make it happen.

What we don't have
is the manpower.

There's only a couple
of thousand of us living here.

We can't be everywhere
at once.

So here's the deal.

You want an army,
you've got an army,

but it has to be
a cooperative deal.

How cooperative?

We provide the resources,
the training,

you provide the warm bodies.

Each group that joins
has to kick in.

We'll work out a formula--
so many recruits per thousand.

You're being unreasonable.

I'm open to any other ideas.

An army needs resources
and people.

We have one,
you have the other.

And if we say "no?"

Then you're on your own.

Even if we go for this,

how do we talk people
into signing up?

We offer them hot meals,
a place to sleep, training...

And the knowledge
that every night,

those they love are as safe
as we can make them.

I'd say
that's a pretty fair trade.

So... What do you say?

We can either sit around
all day complaining about this,

or we can do something
about it

It's your choice.

So, what do you think
of our army?

Well, half of them
look like they haven't eaten in days,

like if they had
to walk one more day,

they'd probably die
right there in the middle of the street.

I have a hunch
they're stronger than you think.

They want this to work.

They're tired of getting
the short end of the stick.

I think
they want to get busy.

I'm tempted to ask
what all this has to do with us,

but every time
I ask that question,

I never seem to get
an answer I like, Markus.

Right now, we have the men
and the weapons.

We're two-thirds of the way.

Next we have to put
the two together,

give them the training
that they'll need,

so that they can fight
as an organized force,

And a place to live,

because we sure as hell
don't have the room here.

Wait a minute.

Kurdy, you have proven
yourself over and over with the men,

with our recent missions--
you want me to train these guys?

Train them, lead them--

Do I look like a general
to you?

Now that you mention it, yeah,
especially around the eyes.

What do you think, Jeremiah?

Oh, I'll be in the car.

No... Markus, Markus,
this is not a good idea.

All I'm asking is that you
give it a shot.

What's the worst
that can happen?

I can get these guys killed.

Or keep them alive,
by teaching them what you know...

And once we've trained
these people,

we'll start farming them out
to places we've set aside

all along the border
with Daniel's group,

but they'll have to be
bunked down and fed

at a halfway point,
which is where you come in, Jeremiah.

Milhaven? No way, Markus.
I'm packed to the roof. I got people all over the--

You wanted to do something--
this is it.

Recruits come here,
we train them,

they go to Milhaven
for assignment, and out from there.

No, I don't think
that's going to work.

Why is it that every time
I come up with a good idea--

Markus, Markus...

Why is it every time
that I come up with a good idea,

you guys start razzing me?

It was never a good idea--

You wouldn't know a good idea.

That's the problem...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'd like to speak to you
while you're all together.

Smith, this may not be
the best time.

This'll just take a minute,
I promise.

I know that some
of you, well...

Probably all of you...

Don't believe
that I hear from God.

You don't believe
that god's going to get more active in the world

than he has been in the past.

That's going to change.

God spoke to me today.

He said...

"Tell them that I will
offer proof.

"Tell them that they may each

"ask for a miracle,

"a miracle that will
stand as testimony

"to my promise
of a better world to come.

"Tell them to come
to the appointed place,

"at the appointed time,

"and wait,

"and whatever miracle
they ask, it shall be granted."

Of course, it's got to be
a present miracle,

because creating time
took some serious-ass work,

and I don't think
he wants to mess with it.

Would you look
at all this food.

Do you believe this place?

It's like walking
into the old world.

They've got everything.

Yeah, real cushy.

So where you from?

Lawrence, Kansas.

I'm Ed.

Gina. Omaha, Nebraska.

So, you a volunteer?

Hell, no.

The way I heard it,
unless a certain percentage of folks sign up,

the whole town gets screwed.

So it's either come here,
or get thrown out of town with nothing

and have to start
all over again somewhere else.

Stinks, but hey...
As long as they feed us, right?

Only reason I signed up.

How about you?

Me?

No, the guy behind you.

Vail, Colorado. Name's Kent.

You volunteer,
or did you get volunteered?

I signed on.

Ah! Another man in search
of three hots and a cot.

That's what I'm talking about.

No. No, I signed on because
I believe in the alliance...

- What?
- ...in what they're trying do here.

I mean, someone's
got to create the new world.

Better these guys than
some other ones I've seen.

No way.

We've grown up on our own.
We've come of age.

Now it's time for the country
to come of age.

Man, you've got to be
shitting me.

Spare me
from dreamers, please.

- I'm just saying--
- It's a job, man. It's just a freaking job.

You think it's wrong
to have ideals?

I'm just saying
when things get hairy,

you can kiss
your ideals goodbye.

That's right.

You're here to do
a job, or you ain't.

Now, someone tries to kill me,
I'm going to kill them first,

and not because
of some dopey ideal,

but because I want to live.

Yeah, but--

Hey, just pass me the salt,
okay, dreamer?

We only got
half an hour left to eat,

and I'm not going to leave
anything on this plate.

Anyways, it'll be good
to meet the guys in charge.

I'm sure they're giving us
the best of the best.

Hi. I'm Kurdy.

They put me in charge.

You ready to do this?

You got something to say?

All right, you...

Maggots!

Stand at attention.

Maggots, stand at attention!

Your gun is your friend.

I am your friend.

Thunder mountain
is your friend.

The thing about friends is,

there's some friends
that you watch, and...

All right, drop! Give me 20...

No, no...40...
No, no...50!

You give me 50!

Straighten that shirt!
Suck in that gut...

Miss.

99...

100.

You see,

if I can do it, you...

My job is to train you,
not lie to you.

Now, what you learn here
will determine whether or not

I can do the most
important part of my job...

Keeping you alive.

You got something to say?

Nothing, it's just...

Look, everybody here has had
to handle himself outside.

It's not like we don't know
how to take care of business.

She's right.

Some, or all, of you

have faced problems
on your own, same as me.

You've had to fend
for yourselves,

fight for what you've got.

Maybe some of you
have even had to fight off raiding parties.

But I've learned
there's a big difference between taking on

a bunch of disorganized,
jumped-up raiders,

and fighting an army,

and failing to understand
that difference

will get you killed.

So take a good look around,
people.

Take a good look,

because depending
on whether or not

you listen to what
I have to say,

as many as half of you
will be dead

by this time next year.

Jeremiah, wait up.

- How's it going?
- Lousy.

So is this
a good time, then?

What's up?

I wanted to know
if you've given it any thought.

Given what any thought?

God offered you a miracle.

- Not now, Smith.
- It can be small. It can be big.

I do not want to have
this conversation with you, okay?

You're just...
You're, you're...

I'm not crazy!

You get to ask
for a miracle, Jeremiah.

That doesn't happen every day.

All you have to do is show up
at the appointed hour,

and the appointed place,

and it'll happen.

Just like that?

Just like that.

What could it hurt?

Just in case
I'm not as crazy...

as I just sounded.

Well, I don't look
for quarters under my pillow from the tooth fairy,

and I don't wish
on falling stars.

I don't believe in miracles,
Smith, okay?

So you'll just have to find
someone else to talk to.

I'm very busy right now.

- What's the harm--
- Not me!

If you ask me
what I want for a miracle,

I would open up a door
straight to hell.

All right!

You know how they say

"Talking to you is like
talking to a wall?"

Well, this is the wall
they were talking about.

All right, you must be hungry,
because I know I sure am.

So here's the deal...

I'm going to pick six people.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five... And six.

Once you six get over
that wall,

then we break to eat.

All right, let's go.

You get over the wall,
and we get fed.

You're kidding,
right?

Yeah, I'm known for that.

Great.

It's too high, man.

If you can't conquer a wall,

how do you expect
to conquer an enemy?

Give me a break.

All right.

Come on.

This is bullshit, man!

No, it's not.

You said we couldn't break
until we all got over that wall,

but you didn't say
we had to do it alone.

No, I didn't.

So you have an idea
of how to get over?

Okay, you two,

lean up against
the wall, hands out.

What are you looking at me for?
You heard the man.

Okay, now you two,
get on their hands.

No, no. No.
Stay there. Stay there. Keep straddling the wall.

Now, the guys
on the wall just...

Just help everyone else over.

You help the other guy get up.

He gets to the top,

but he does not
leave you behind.

He stays and he helps you over
before following himself.

It's not about the wall.

It's about you.

On the outside,

you're used
to doing for yourself,

but here, you have to do
for each other.

You work together,
or you die alone...

Or somebody else dies for you.

That's how an army works.

So go ahead. Finish up.

So what's with the flowers?

This little girl gave them
to me when I signed up.

She said they'd be lucky,
so I kept them.

- I like them.
- You know, I swear Kurdy's trying to kill us.

Two weeks straight,
and not a single break.

It's just to make sure
we can survive once we get out there.

Oh, I'm going
to survive, all right,

because end of the day,
I'm a fighter.

Anybody comes at me,
he's a dead man.

You'll probably
survive too, dreamer.

Different reasons, of course.

Yeah, how do you figure?

I've seen your kind before.

You think you're real smart,

but when the shit
starts flying,

you're going to be
the first guy to run.

- Look--
- So why don't you take your dreams,

and your bullshit
and you shove them.

I'm going to get some sleep.

Because if there's anything
I've learned from this, Markus,

is I am not cut out
to be a teacher.

- That's your gig, not mine.
- That's not what I hear.

I think you have
a natural affinity for this.

No, if you think that,
you're even crazier than--

Smith, hi.

We were just
talking about you.

We've only got a few days left
before the appointed time.

Have you decided
on your miracle,

Either of you?

I... No, I don't think so.

Kurdy, what about you?

I've been hanging with you
for about six months, Smith,

and I still don't know
what to make of all this.

Now, there's something
going on with you,

that's for sure... But this?

Then on the other hand,
why the hell not?

So, if I had to ask
for one miracle...

I look at these guys
I'm training,

and I know they're going
to face some hard times,

because when
the old world died,

they left all these guns
and weapons just lying around.

So, if I had one miracle,

it'd be for every gun,
every nuke,

every rocket, every grenade,

just every weapon in the world

to...disappear.

Level the playing field,
you know.

Knives, too?

No, knives we need.

We all got to eat, right?

That good enough
for you, Smith?

Okay, people, listen up...

I've got good news.

Tomorrow, you get
to go back outside.

Tomorrow, it's your turn.

You finally get
to walk in the sun.

Of course, you're going
to walk about ten miles.

You're going to have
to work together as a unit,

and you're going to learn
how to scout an open field,

And once we're done with that,
we'll have some war games.

You get to shoot
at each other, and nobody dies.

Sounds just like
Kent's kind of war.

You got something to say?

No.

Sir.

Good.

Let's keep it that way.

Get some sleep, people.
We head out at dawn.

So, how much time do I have
before this so-called appointed day?

End of the week...

Sunday.

I want Meaghan back.

Alive. Whole. Uninfected.

If it was good enough
for Lazarus, it's good enough for her.

Hey, man.

I heard you was going on
a little field trip.

Mind if I come along,
help you keep an eye on these newbies?

No, that's cool.
Thanks. I need the help.

Hey! did I tell you
to touch that box?

You ever hear
the word "explosives" where you come from, chief?

Okay, here it is.

You want to know what I want?

I want to see God.

I want to see him
face to face--

him, her, it, whatever--

And look him right in the eye,

and ask him,
"Why'd you screw things up?"

Then I'll tell him,
face to face,

that he's a thug, monster,

hypocrite...

He's a killer.

I'm going to spit
right in his eye.

All right, break up
into two groups.

Group one, group two.

You're group one,
group two.

You're group one.
You're group two.

Group one, you go that way.

Group two, you stay with me.

Scout the area,
coordinate positions,

and report back.

Let's go.

Hey, dreamer... Don't worry.

If I see any bad guys,
I'm sure Gina here will protect you.

Shove it, Ed.
Keep it down, jackass.

Run another cycle
and increase the output.

See how that works.

Excuse me.

What are... Are you okay?

We need to talk.
There's a problem.

Come on, let's go to my office.

Hey, Kurdy, check this out.

Hold up, guys.

Look, Jeremiah,
if this is another weird-ass-- - No, no, no.

Look at this.

Somebody's been here before us.

- -Military boots.
- Yeah.

And for the last two weeks,
we've had people go missing,

Some of our winter supplies
have been stolen. - It could be raiders.

No. Late yesterday we found
one of the people who disappeared.

He was being held
in a burnt-out bowling alley.

They'd hurt him,
left him for dead.

If we hadn't found him...

He said he was captured
and held for questioning

by an advance scout team
from Daniel.

Five, maybe six men,
well-armed.

Can you show me exactly
where they've hit?

Here, and through here.

You're sure?

Yes. Why?

We just sent some
of our people into that area.

I have to get
to a radio, fast.

Stay back!

Come on.

There are two of them,
maybe more!

Spread out as much as you can.

If we're bunched up,
it's easier for them to hit somebody.

Where the hell are you going?

Costa!

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Fuck this, man!
I'm getting out of here.

- We hold the line!
- Fuck you, too!

Ed...No!

- Get him out of here.
- What?

He stays, he dies!

Get him out of here.
I'll cover you.

Kent, come on. Let's go!

Come on!

Go on! I'll buy you
as much time as I can.

Go!

Kent!

Make sure he gets buried
with this, all right?

You work together,

or you die alone.

Or somebody else
dies for you.

You know Kent
was just grandstanding.

He was trying to show
everybody how superior he was.

I mean, guys like that...

It's inevitable.

You said
we couldn't break until we all got over that wall,

but you didn't say
we had to do it alone.

No, I didn't.

So you have an idea
of how to get over?

It's not about the wall.
It's about you.

On the outside, you're used
to doing for yourself,

but here, you have to do
for each other.

You work together,

or you die alone.

You're leaving?

Got to get back to Milhaven

Now that I got
the supplies I came for.

But today's the appointed day.

Your miracle, remember?

Sorry.

I thought you wanted
a chance to spit in God's eye.

If there is a God,

and I don't think there is,

there'll be time
for that later.

Maybe.

You know, first I thought
you were just afraid

that your miracle
wouldn't come true,

But now I think you're afraid
you will get your miracle,

because if you do,
then you're going to have to...

reconsider everything.

You think
whatever you want.

You know something?

I want to know
what you asked for.

What miracle did you ask for?

To use this arm again.

That's it?

All the things
you could ask for-- That's it?

I travel light.

Markus, Kurdy,
there you are.

Smith, we have to stop
meeting like this. People will talk.

It's miracle day.
Are you guys ready?

I can't. There's too much
going on here.

It's half
a day's walk, Markus.

- I wish I could, but I...
- But you what?

It's just been
a hard week, Smith.

It's just been
a really hard week.

I know.

Okay. I'll go,
but we've got to go now, before I change my mind.

You're going?

I'm going.

All right.

If you're going,
I'm going, too.

This I want to see.

This is
the appointed place?

Almost.

I'm being eaten alive.

Nothing comes easy, Markus.

Thank you
for that insight, Mr. Smith.

How come these things
aren't bothering you, Kurdy?

You're a more
likable guy.

Pays to be mean.

This is it.

You're kidding.

No.

You know the thing
about mosquitoes, right?

No, what's the thing
about mosquitoes?

Well, the male mosquitoes
are the ones that buzz,

but they don't bite.

The female mosquitoes bite,
but they don't buzz.

So if you hear
buzzing in your ear,

you're okay.

If you don't hear anything...

Worry.

You made that up.

Nah. Mm-mm.

So what do you hear?

I don't know anymore.

How much longer
do we have to wait here?

Until he shows up.

You know, you never told us
what your miracle was.

What... For the sun
to stop overhead?

Repeal the law of gravity?

Clean up all the cities?

I wanted Meaghan back...

Alive and uninfected.

It was his choice.

He could choose
whatever he wanted.

- He chose--
- One person.

One...

One...

This is ridiculous.

- No, it's--
- No, it is!

It's ridiculous.

What have I been
doing here?

I'll tell you
what I'm doing here.

We've got people wounded
at thunder mountain.

I'm in the middle
of building a freaking army.

We're on the cusp of a war
with Daniel's group,

and I'm stuck here in a swamp,
in the middle of the night...

Being eaten alive.

Why?

I'll tell you why.

Because I loved her...

because I didn't want
to let go.

Because I haven't let go,
even after all this time.

I didn't let myself talk
about her. I didn't think about it, I...

She's gone.

She's gone.

She's gone.

I don't think I realized,
until right now,

how badly I was holding on,

or how much I need
to let her go,

or I can't be
what she wanted me to be,

what she could never be,
locked in that room...

Free.

Free.

I should head back.

They need me
back at the mountain.

That's, uh...

Quite a metaphor
you got here, Smith.

Wandering around in the muck
and mud of my own conscience,

for far too long.

Time to go.

You're leaving,
too?

Come on, Smith.

Look, when you got Markus
to come along,

I knew exactly
what you were doing.

You knew Jeremiah
would cut off his left nut

before he went along
with even the possibility

that there was a God,

but Markus...

You gave him
something he needed.

You did good, Smith.

You knew what Markus
would ask for.

Now, let's go.

I'm staying.

You're kidding.

No.

All right, you want to play
this whole thing out

so nobody can say you didn't,

you go right ahead,

but I'm going back

where it's warm and dry,

and I can stop pretending

that these things
are not eating me alive.

Good night, Kurdy.

I'll see you in the morning.

So, what do you think
of the first graduating class

of the thunder mountain
irregulars?

They look good,
but it's the army of the western alliance.

Yeah, whatever.

It was a rushed program,
but we got there.

Now, once we've got these guys
trained in the basics,

I figure we can get them
teaching the others,

while we work to get them
to the next level.

Heads up!

You should have stayed, Kurdy.

You really should have stayed.
