Previously onJeremiah...

There's this little thing
called the doctrine of unintended consequences.

You ask somebody,
"Do you love me?"

And 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 'em,

they go to Milhaven
for assignment and out from there.

You did everything
you could. It's not your fault.

Now we'd previously agreed
to hold off on any direct confrontation

with our opposite numbers
in Thunder Mountain.

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

The greater 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 fact
that the pieces of the whole world rot.

This is a war of powers
and principalities.

We are the coyote, Ron,
we are the wolf.

And it is time, long past time,
that we barred 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, um, superstition

that what you're doing
on New Year's is what you're gonna be doing

for the rest of the year.

Good morning, sir.
I think we're in for another beautiful day.

Gina, how long
have you been here? - About four hours, sir.

- Do 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 is Sunday.

Don't you think that 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 here,

you'll see that
yesterday was Sunday.

And then over
on this page here,

oh, yeah, see that,
that's saying "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 writing. - So?

- You make this shit up.
- No, I don't.

That's why there are
people lined up outside to see you.

They made their appointments
weeks ago for today, Monday. - Oh, fuck.

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 gotta 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 communication systems
that Devon created.

And once we finish
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 gotta be somebody else.

There isn't. The other teams
have been doing this for months now

and we're falling behind
a little bit.

But there are new recruits
pouring in here every day, Markus.

They need training.

Yeah, 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 gonna be very happy about this.

Happy? I'm ecstatic.

I mean, I love
going to new places and discovering things--

Will 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 the distraction.

You see, this is gonna
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 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.

Well, welcome to the Mountain.
The 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.
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.

♪ I can't let go

So, you know what King Solomon
did in a situation like this?

He would say,
"Look, if you two cannot decide who this child belongs to,

I'm just gonna
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.

You 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 can make
the best of any situation. You always see...

Saw the best in people.

I miss that.

I miss you. I...

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 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 I'd be doing right now?

I'd be on the road.

It's what I'd do.

Me and Kurdy
cruising down the road, sitting by a campfire.

Oh, go away, would you?
I'm closed. I told you.

Go home, will you?

I really didn't wanna come.
It was all Smith's idea.

- Hey, man.
- Huh. 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.

Well, running this town
really is driving you crazy, huh?

Oh...

It's weird 'cause, you know,
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, vacation.

Sounds great.

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.

I just have
a few more adjustments to make.

All right, I give.
What are you adjusting?

What is 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 a little piece
of cardboard out,

aligned 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?

Well, I guess you could say
I have a natural inclination for adventure.

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

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

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
we 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 our teams
reported in?

Except for Jeremiah,
Kurdy and Smith.

You know when you were a kid
and there was always

two or three kids who sat
at the back of the class

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

- Damn.
- What's the matter?

I don't know,
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 the brat pack.

Their first stop
was Sandor's place, 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 gonna finish it.

That's a promise I can keep.

No!

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,
though.

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.

You okay?

I just cut myself.

Well, don't bleed on my fish.

You know,
Markus isn't totally wrong...

And Sandor's town
is as close to Daniel's turf as we wanna get.

Just wants to make sure
nobody sees us bringing these things in, that's all.

It's not like they 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.

Man, it's one of those
"God said" looks. I recognize it.

Oh, shit.

Sandor.

- Damn.
- Fuck! God!

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

We should never 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?

- Ten, 20?
- So?

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

We could have done something.

Look, 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, are 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 what
we felt about it.

It's probably Sims again, too.

The 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, well, you have to
find out where the hell these guys are going.

From the tire prints,
it looks like they're heading 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 he left any patrols behind

looking for stragglers.

Yeah, right. We'll...

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 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're going to have
a lot more towns that end up like Three Hills.

Come on, Smith. We got to go.

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.

I'm gonna get my knife
between your shoe and the mine.

Kurdy, I don't think
that's such a good idea.

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.

- You sure?
- Slowly.

Yeah.

What about you?

All right, we need to get
something heavy to put on the knife.

Go get one of the radios
out of the back of the trucks,

but watch where you step.

Hold on.

Careful, Smith.
Watch your step.

All right, put the radio
on the knife, on the blade. Carefully.

Careful.

Did you learn that
back at the Mountain?

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...

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.

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.

You like my song?

- Where you from?
- Silver City.

You wanna hear some more?

You try.

You get better with practice.

Put out your hand.

A present from Daniel.

Thanks, mister.

I got to show my mom.

- Say "Thank you, Daniel."
- Thank you, Daniel.

Sir.

Our sources 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 shall
give them cause to look here

where we want them to look.

Have you heard
from the other team?

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

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.

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
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 at 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
all of our long-range survey teams,

told them to keep a look out
for Sims or his people.

Good.

That's just one problem.

Whatever's wrong
with the radio, it's gotten so bad

that we're only getting
sporadic reports,

enough to know
that something bad's happening

northeast of here.
But that's about it.

Okay, then tell everybody
to concentrate on the area northeast of Three Hills.

Pull out all our local teams
if you have to.

Okay, I will.

So, are you gonna
get some rest now?

No, there's no time.

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

And without radios,
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.
All right, five minutes.

We rest for five minutes
and then we keep going.

How much further, Smith?

About two and a half miles
due south.

How 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 got to take a piss.

Smith.

Look, if you came out here
to piss,

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 of yours.

Now what is it?

Did God say something?

What? Am I gonna have
three-headed children or something? What?

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.

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 him
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.

I tried to talk to her.

I just kept thinking,
there's some way...

There's some way
for it 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.

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 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 living 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 4.

King's bishop to queen's now 6.

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 when 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 could 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 3.

Not to worry.
I'll keep hitting them,

drawing their fire
while you do what you have to.

By now we got them
looking in so many places,

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

Queen's knight to king 4.

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 forkin'. 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.

Ties everything together,
but my figure should fill the frame.

Now how come
we never heard of this?

There wasn't
many people around

when they last
came through here.

They probably saw
all this heavy artillery and went into hiding.

- Since then...
- Since then we've been too distracted.

Maybe that's the point.

Do 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?

I don't know.
It looks like a satellite dish.

Smith, you're the gadget guy...

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.

Probably got enough power

to cut
the Alliance communication

for 100 miles
in any direction.

How about that?

Markus barely gets
his communication system up and running,

and these guys
are tearing it down.

No, we're gonna
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...

On an operation this big,
you know they got supplies.

They got weapons,
drills to cut through shit, even explosives.

Well, we'll take
a look tonight. Come on.

Oh, shit!

All right, you handle this,
I'll get the wheels.

Kurdy, get down.

Jeremiah, let's go!

Fire! Fire!

So, what are you gonna 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 half a mile, it was pretty cool.

Last reports we 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? That'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 settled this.

If Cold Creek was
the 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.

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.

'Cause there's still
too much information that we don't know.

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

The enemy had shown
that they were 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.

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.

Well, if it's
a three-pronged attack...

where's the third one?

- Yes?
- Are your men in position?

They are. We're ready to begin phase two.

Is this close enough, sir?

Couldn't be better.
