Previously on Jericho:

Bonnie's dead.

Goetz is off-limits.

No threats. No retribution. No exceptions.

Stanley.

I'm declaring Jericho to be an open insurrection.

Western states have all fallen in with Cheyenne.

Texans are getting close to siding with Cheyenne.

- If that happens, it's the ball game. - I have one of the bombs.

That bomb is the key to bringing down this government.

They'll never let you get it to Texas.

Okay, John Smith.

We found the package.

You're not just some innocent whistle blower.

The last time I blew the whistle, I took out 23 American cities.

The man behind the September attacks

is pretty confident that he can use it to destroy the city of Cheyenne.

When do we leave?

Mary arranged for us to meet one of her runners

this side of the checkpoint on Route 309.

He should be able to get us through to Wyoming,

hopefully just outside of Cheyenne. We're on our own from there.

The streets are gonna be crawling with soldiers from Cheyenne

and mercenaries from Ravenwood on police patrol.

And as I am Enemy Number 1 right now,

we're gonna need someplace safe fast.

What about your contact there?

- Who, Cheung? - Yeah.

I got a lead on his location,

but it might take a while to track him down.

We need something more immediate.

- Look, Jake. - Yeah?

When we get out there, the mission is everything.

- Yeah, I get it. - No. No, see, I gotta be sure.

I'm asking for your help, but I can't afford for you to go off book out there.

I don't have any room for debate,

so if you've got any questions, now's the time.

- Yeah, I got a question. - Go ahead.

- How are we gonna find the bomb? - No idea. Anything else?

Insurgent activity in your piece of the world

has reached unacceptable levels, major.

The Cheyenne government will not tolerate this.

Your orders are to begin phase-three operations immediately.

Sir, with all due respect,

I believe it's premature to move to phase three.

This place is still salvageable.

Two prisoners escaped your custody yesterday.

You've lost three supply convoys through raiding parties the past week.

The time for restraint has passed. You have your orders.

This insurrection must end.

A 20-minute orientation, an hour roundtable discussion,

two hours for lunch, a thousand-person town-hall meeting,

and, boom, the Second Amendment's gone.

Well, it's a lot easier to pacify a country when its citizens can't shoot back.

I'm sick of people telling me I worry too much.

This is the Constitution we're talking about, not a stereo manual.

Well, we'll just keep raising our voices.

I don't see what other choice we have.

Hey, Mr. Mayor.

How are you, Gray?

What, you mean aside from the embolism you just gave me?

- Let's take a walk. I'll explain. - Yeah, I'd appreciate that.

- Didn't take them long, did it? - For what?

For J&R to build their own private country.

I can't believe things got that bad that fast.

I should've been there. I'm wasting my time here.

- What do you mean? - This convention's a sham.

And when it's done,

I don't think there's anything that this government

is not gonna have the power to do in the name of national security.

- How long till they vote to ratify? - I don't know.

They're talking about speeding things up

to coincide with Texas joining the Allied States.

They're that close to a deal with Texas?

Well, Cheyenne's pretty confident,

and they've done a real good job of painting the Texans into a corner.

But, Jake,

you...

You still haven't told me what you're doing here.

You need to go home, Gray.

The town, they need somebody that they can look to

who's not in hiding.

Someone to speak for them.

They need you back.

- You spelled "Cheyenne" wrong. - Hey, Cheung.

I've spent the past few months infiltrating J&R's secure data pipeline.

You know what's flowing around that pipeline right now?

That the last loose nuke from the September attacks

is here in Cheyenne.

The last loose nuke from the September attacks

is here in Cheyenne.

- Wanna explain how it got here? - No, not really.

I'm here to get it back.

Hell of a lot's happened over the last few months.

I'll try and fill you in.

Let's start with that.

What's phase three?

As of 11 a.m. tomorrow,

they are gonna declare whole sections of town centres of resistance.

Anyone caught inside them after the deadline

will be considered insurgents.

We're talking neighbourhoods. We're talking Main Street.

Come tomorrow, Beck's men are gonna start shooting at people.

We're running out of options.

Our options are pretty clear.

Either we start shooting back, or we give up our homes.

You don't have to fight them alone.

What are you talking about?

What's happening to you guys right now happened to us in New Bern.

We know what you're up against.

And Constantino knows how to fight it.

Not a chance in hell.

With an enemy this big,

you really don't have the luxury of being picky about your allies.

We can help each other.

Eric, are you kidding?

What am I supposed to say?

You say, no.

You say you're not interested in shaking hands with an animal

like Phil Constantino.

Say something.

I'm done with this.

- Stanley. - Bonnie has been dead for four days,

and her body's still sitting in a box in the medical centre

because I'm hiding out in some garage.

- Stanley, where are you going? - To bury my sister.

I need to do this.

Go with him.

Get it done.

Bring him back here as soon as possible.

Set up the meeting.

Sit down.

I'd rather not.

Can we make this quick?

I have to move out of my house by 11 tomorrow.

Someone declared my street a centre of resistance.

Why'd you do it?

What are you talking about?

Yesterday, a terror suspect was located not far from here.

Robert Hawkins.

He evaded capture, but we recovered a nuclear weapon from his possession.

The same kind used in the September attacks.

What does that have to do with me?

There was an aerial search of this town.

Should've exposed the bomb, but didn't.

We checked the original data

and found a page missing from the copy kept in my office.

You took it.

You had access to this office. I trusted you.

- I stood up for you-- - You're right.

- I took it. - Why?

He told me the people you're working for are wrong,

and I believe him.

Do you realise I could have you imprisoned, possibly executed?

He said this government is corrupt and illegitimate.

That it lied about who attacked us so it could seize power.

You're naive.

- And you're a coward. - Excuse me?

You know there's something wrong with this country,

and you refuse to open your eyes and see it.

- My eyes are open. - No, they aren't.

And everyone in this town is suffering because of it.

Lieutenant.

This woman is under arrest.

Get her out of here.

Here's what I got.

It won't take them long to inspect the bomb,

verify it is what they think it is.

To make it disappear,

they're gonna have to move it to a disposal facility outside of town.

Well, it'd be easy for us to hit it when it's on road. Hit the transport.

That's the problem. There's nothing scheduled.

No convoys out of the military base in the area.

No shipments in or out of the secure J&R facilities.

No nothing.

You know what?

There wouldn't be.

Security draws attention.

So less security, less attention. We need someplace off the books.

In Afghanistan, there were a few supply routes

that would get really nasty.

They would shoot at anything with a J&R logo on it.

So we started making our runs in ambulances.

Check the local hospitals.

- Saint Francis Hospital. - What?

They reported a gas leak a little while ago.

They're closing the doors for the afternoon.

How many paramedics carry a 9 mm?

It sure looks like they're expecting someone.

Yeah.

- Let's go. - Not him.

- What? - Sorry, Jake.

I don't know you. I don't trust you.

Hey, hey.

Keep the engine running. If something goes wrong,

we're gonna need to get out of here fast, right?

Jake?

Yeah.

Green light from the colonel. We're moving out ASAP.

Double-check that. Make sure it's secure before we go.

Stay right there.

- You okay? - Yeah.

- You? - Yeah.

I'm okay.

Don't.

Hello, Hawkins.

Smith?

Smith?

I didn't think that you did your own dirty work.

I wasn't supposed to.

I'd hoped you were gonna help me.

Now, I need that bomb.

Hawkins!

I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Jake. Jake.

- The ambulance. - Come on, we gotta get out of here.

Get in.

How bad is it?

I've had worse.

Man, what the hell are we gonna do now?

Just keep driving.

You just keep driving and let me think of something.

Sir, can I get your signature here?

What is it?

Inventory of the evidence retrieved from the terrorist Hawkins' vehicle.

Side arm, fake IDs, laptop.

Transport's waiting outside to take it to Camp Liberty.

- The evidence is here? - Yes, sir. Boxed up and ready to ship.

I wanna see it first.

Sir, it's catalogued and sealed.

Then I'll unseal it.

Yes, sir.

Hawkins, we gotta get off the street, or they're gonna be on us in no time.

We're not gonna make it to Texas like this.

Yes, we will.

Yes, we will.

Okay.

You keep going south for about ten blocks.

- Why? - You just do it, Jake.

Hey, Chavez.

I'm gonna need a favour. I'm gonna need it fast.

Hello, Eric.

Strange meeting.

I figured you and I ever got this close again,

it'd be at the end of a gun.

A few weeks ago, I was on my way to New Bern

to put a bullet in your head.

What stopped you?

Beck.

Interesting.

Is that something you still wanna do?

Every day-

There's something to be said for honesty.

Russell told me about your situation.

If you and I are gonna be able to help each other,

there's something you're gonna have to understand.

I'm listening.

We win by making them lose their desire to fight.

- It's the only way. - I know.

Then when you take out a convoy, you gotta stop leaving soldiers alive.

Every soldier we take out costs them.

Forces them to train replacements. Saps their will.

It's not gonna happen in a day or a week.

It's a process that could take years.

I need to know if that's something you're willing to undertake.

Hawkins?

Yeah?

Hawkins, I need to know where we're going!

Okay.

- That way. - They're not just gonna open the gate.

Straight in there.

Hang on.

Hang on.

Don't shoot, don't shoot. Don't shoot.

We need help.

All right? We need help.

- My friend's been hurt. Please. - Sir, this is the Texas Embassy.

You don't understand. My friend's been shot.

This isn't a hospital. This is sovereign Texas soil.

Please.

On the ground, now!

We are seeking political asylum.

Sir, we've got a situation at the gate.

- Go ahead. - I've got Cheyenne military here.

They claim a terrorist has entered the embassy.

They want us to surrender him.

- Stand by. - Yes, sir.

I want those gates closed now.

Radio down, tell them if anybody from Cheyenne tries to breach,

consider it an act of war.

Ambassador Sam Travis. You got some important friends.

Just got off the phone with San Antonio.

The governor's instructed me to accept your request for asylum.

Get this man immediate medical attention.

I need the medic out here ASAP.

Right away, sir.

Sir.

Yeah, I know.

Let's get inside.

What are you doing here?

We came to help.

You were right.

Right about what?

Constantino.

There's something he lost that I don't wanna ever give up.

I mean, we're right, Cheyenne is wrong,

but the moment we start killing American soldiers,

all that changes.

So, what do we do when they start shooting at us, huh?

I gotta believe Beck doesn't want that any more than we do.

But if he wants to make that decision, I'm not gonna make it easy for him.

So I'm gonna be standing on this hill in the open with my friends,

doing something I know is right.

Hey, guys-

This is about all I can do from here. We're gonna have to find a way

- and get you to an ER. - No.

What do you mean, no?

Could you excuse us, please?

Jake,

I am not important.

What is, is getting that bomb to Texas with no detours.

Now, you tell me that you understand what it is you're in the middle of now.

- I understand it's important, all right? - Yeah, it's important. It's important.

Like, whatever happens in the next few hours

could determine the course of things for years to come.

You know, maybe our history for the next hundred years.

That is the responsibility we got here.

And if that comes at a terrible cost, then so be it.

Because that's the only way that things get better,

and it's the only way that people stay free.

That's why I do what I do.

Yes, sir. Stanley Richmond and a group of Rangers.

I'll bring them in.

- Ma'am, you need to clear this area. - My fiancé is burying his sister there.

He's waited four days to do this. Just please let him finish.

We've already called it in. We have orders to apprehend him.

You have him.

We have nowhere to run.

Just let him put his sister in the ground.

It costs you nothing.

Do you have sisters?

Or a girlfriend? A wife?

Please.

You have 30 minutes. After that, they're all coming with us.

So say your goodbyes.

Thank you.

ID, sir?

Excuse me?

Who are you, sir?

I'm Gray Anderson.

I'm the mayor of this town.

I don't know how much longer we can keep them talking at the gates.

We're gonna have to get you out of here.

Okay.

We're gonna take you out back through the property next door.

The bomb's ready in a car with diplomatic plates.

Should get you through the airport. Now, the plane's in Hangar 22.

We'll--

Always had a bad feeling about President Tomarchio.

I'm glad somebody's gonna show the world what he's really about.

- Well, that's the plan, sir. - Yeah.

- The bomb is stowed. Let's go. - No, I'm staying.

- What? - It's an hour's flight from here to Texas.

There's no way it takes them that long to find you.

- You don't know that. - It's the only way, okay?

I gotta buy you some time. Draw their attention.

- You don't stand a chance. - And it doesn't matter

because the mission is everything. I told you.

No, it isn't.

- Damn it, Jake. I am not debating this. - No, I'm not debating either.

I'm ignoring you.

- Wait here. - Yes, sir.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You're all free to go.

Wait a minute.

That's it?

About 20 minutes ago,

I notified my company commanders

that I'd no longer be taking orders from the Cheyenne leadership.

I believe this government is corrupt at its core.

Its actions are criminal.

And I no longer recognise their right to lead.

So, what happens now?

My company commanders are deliberating,

trying to decide whether to report me up the chain of command.

In all likelihood, I'll be charged by the end of the day.

Sent to Cheyenne to face a court-martial for treason.

But until then, I'm still in charge.

So you take your time.

And then go home.

Unidentified Cessna on heading 086, identify.

Unidentified Cessna on heading 086, identify.

Cessna on heading 086. Sierra-Tango-9.

This is Allied States Air Force, Whisky-23.

We have orders to intercept

and escort you back to Rogers Field in Cheyenne.

Sierra-Tango-9, confirm transmission.

Sierra-Tango-9, negative.

This is a Texan diplomatic flight out of Cheyenne

en route to San Antonio.

Sierra-Tango-9, either put down or we will put you down.

You have 30 seconds to comply.

This is a consular flight flying the flag of a sovereign nation.

This is your last chance, Sierra-Tango-9.

We will put you in the dirt if we have to.

You've got ten seconds.

Time's up. We're going weapons hot to engage. Out.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Sierra-Tango-9, do you copy?

Sierra-Tango-9, affirmative.

Jake Green, this is Colonel Thompson,

Texas Air National Guard.

I've got orders direct from Governor Todd

to make sure you arrive safety at Lackland Air Force Base.

Copy that, Texas ANG.

Son, I don't know what you're carrying, but whatever it is better be good,

because I think I just declared war on Cheyenne.

Stanley?

What is it?

I thought I lost you.

No way. You could never lose me.

When those soldiers were coming for you, all I could think was:

"He doesn't know what he means to me.

He's going away forever, and I haven't told him."

Well, I'm here now.

You are everything to me.

I wanna...

I wanna walk down this hill and make a home with you.

I wanna make a life with you,

through anything and everything,

from this day forward for the rest of my life.

Wow, that sounded a lot like a...

It was.

Well, what do I say?

Just say, "I do."

I do.

I do.

I told the lieutenant to release you without condition.

You don't need to be here.

I know.

What's happening in there?

They're trying to decide what to do about me.

Gave them Hawkins' laptop,

let them see the evidence for themselves.

You were right.

About everything.

Thanks for not giving up on me.

Sir.

Your orders.

Pass the word to your men.

Tell them there's a fight on its way.

I thought I told you to stay out of trouble while I was gone.

Welcome back.

- Thank you. - How was the convention?

Terrifying.

Now, the government we find ourselves living under

is in dire need of replacement.

Well, that ought to make our feelings pretty clear about it.

Oh, that?

Yeah, I just thought it's been a little too long

since Johnston Green's had anything to say

about the way things are going around here.

Now seemed like a good time for him to be heard.

Hey.

We made it.

What now?

There's a team of engineers waiting for delivery of this thing right away.

Once they inspect it, things in this country are gonna change pretty fast.

Cheyenne's cover-up will be exposed.

Texas sides with Columbus, throws its weight behind them.

And then the main event.

- The next American Civil War. - Yeah.

Thanks to you and Hawkins,

it looks like the good guys are gonna have a fighting chance.

Thank you.

Hey, don't take this the wrong way,

but you look like crap.

You all right?

I think we started a war today.

Let me guess, not your first?

Jake, this war was coming with or without us.

I just hope we did enough to make it a fair fight.

Yeah.

- How does it feel? - What?

Making history.
