All language subtitles for Jeremiah s01e12 The Touch.eng

[bird chirping]

(Kurdy)
It wouldn't take much:

A couple of crap tables, make
a roulette wheel out of a lazy Susan,

a couple of decks of cards.

They gotta have cards.

(Jeremiah) So a casino
in Thunder Mountain?

Hell, they got
everything else.

Somehow, I don't see
Marcus warming to it.

Yeah, well,
what does Marcus know?

The whole population of people
down there are bored shitless.

Why don't you just open up
a brothel while you're at it?

Now you're thinkin'.

Where'd you say
we're goin' again?

A town called Mayfair.

Oh, right,
it was on Simon's list.

It's just the name
of a town.

I don't see that as much
of a clue, if you ask me.

Well, Marcus says
check it out.

You got a problem,
take it up with him.

Kurdy's casino.

[laughing]

Is there something here
I'm missin'?

[kids chattering in distance]

I never said giddyap.

Excuse me?

I rode one of these
when I was about 4.

I never said giddyap.

I was afraid if I did,

the horse would just
jump right up off its spring

and take off running, and I'd never see
my mom and dad again.

Well, somebody said it.

We all rode that pony.

You smell that?

[sniffs]

Fuck me.

This is some bad mojo, man.

This is some kool-aid-sippin',
mass-suicide type shit.

I don't think it was suicide.

Look at these people.
Some of 'em have their wrists tied.

It smells like almonds.

I ain't never heard of almonds
killing nobody, man.

No, not almonds...

But cyanide will.

You think they were poisoned?

Poisoned, gassed.

Looks like somebody took out
the whole town.

What does it say?

"Never let this happen again."

(Jeremiah) Dear dad,

it's been 15 years

since the big death wiped out
everyone over the age of innocence.

The end of your world,

the beginning of mine.

[hens clucking]

(Kurdy) Maybe comin' here

wasn't such a bad idea
after all.

Somethin' about this place
I like already.

Let me guess,
the scenery?

Bingo, baby.

I don't know. There's something
kind of weird about it.

I just can't put
my finger on what it is.

(woman)
Nicky!

Honey, it's OK.
Just try and lift up, baby. Just...

Isn't she gonna
help him up?

(Nicky)
Mommy, help me.

Help.

Here, honey, grab hold,
grab hold.

Oh, this is fucked up.

(woman) You can do it, baby.
I know you can.

Hey!

Let me
give you a hand.

No! Stay back.

Look, I understand tough love,
woman, but--

You can't touch him.

Why, has he got something?

No, and I'd like to
keep it that way.

What, I look like
I got cooties?

Well, you pick him up.
You're his mother, aren't you?

It's all right, honey.

Ow.

(woman) Thattaboy.
Go get your bike.

Unless you have
business here,

I suggest
you move on.

My name is Stenn.

I'm Jeremiah.
This is Kurdy.

What's up?

OK. I guess we can forget
about the welcome wagon.

Don't take offense.
Those are the ways here.

No one must touch.

Why is that?

Those are the ways here.

Isn't that what they call
a circular argument?

I got another name for it.

Let me get this straight.

Nobody around here
is allowed to touch anybody?

Those are the ways here.

Hey, was I talkin' to you?

What about all these kids
running around?

What's that,
immaculate conception?

Their parents are guardians,

except for those who gave birth
before the decree came down.

And when was that?

5, almost 6 years.

So those young ladies,
for example...

Never been touched?

Never.

Which means they're...

As the driven snow.

Well, ain't that
a kick in the head?

You got a problem
if we stay a day or 2?

You'll have to go through
decontamination.

Decontamination?

(Kurdy)
Ow! This shit burns, man!

[panting]

(Jeremiah) The price of purity.
Suck it up.

Oh, OK, OK, OK, OK,
I'm done already.

[shivering]

Oh, I'm done!

Oh.

Hand me a towel, will you?

Oh, Jesus.

[gasping]

Oh!

I'm 16 years old. You're not
my father. You have no right.

I have every right.

You'd be dead
if we hadn't taken you in.

Karin and I are in love.

I'm sure
you think you are.

OK, look, if you don't want us to live
together here, we could bail right now.

And what, hmm?
Risk contamination? Real smart.

Well, those guys who came into town
today, they look healthy enough.

The seeds of destruction
often lie dormant.

Oh, man, what is the big deal
with 2 people moving in together?

- At your age, it's dangerous.
- Yeah, right.

Hormones course through you.
They can overcome your judgment.

Yeah, like we couldn't sneak off and
do it anytime we goddamn wanted.

What did you say?

Nothin'.

Stenn hears talk like that,
and you will be in deep shit.

Wow. You mean the shit
actually gets deeper?

It's so not happening.

I could tell.

He's 10 years older than I am,
and he thinks he owns me.

Let me make you
something to eat.

[pump squeaking]

Hey, mister.

I'm just wondering,
are you guys hungry?

(Kurdy)
Yeah, this is pretty good.

What do you call it?

- Food.
- Catchy name.

So where
are you two from?

Someplace where touching
isn't a crime.

You don't seem
the worse for it.

Why would we?

What do you know
about the town of Mayfair?

Town 5 miles east.

I have friends there,
but it's been awhile.

Well, I hope for their sake
they left.

Why?

Everyone in Mayfair is dead.

They were poisoned.

My God.

That's nuts.

Almonds, to be precise.

Either of you have any idea
who might do something like that?

All I know is, it's the start
of the forbidden zone.

- Now, who decides that?
- Town elders.

What is forbidden?

Touching. They touch there.

Not anymore, they don't.

As if I need another reason
to blow this place.

I've had it, I swear.

Well, what's stopping you?

I was only 3
when the death hit,

and Angus found me
wandering around, half-starved,

and he was only a kid himself.

You feel like you owe him.

(Kurdy)
Kill that noise, man.

You got these cats tellin'
you how to live your life,

what you can and can't touch.

I don't care
what he did for you,

if I was you, I'd tell him
to bite it and swallow hard.

[laughs]

You know what I'm sayin'?

Guess you don't.

(Angus) Neal!

What are they doing here?

They hadn't eaten.
I invited them.

(Angus)
This is still my house.

Nobody takes anything
without my permission.

Whoa, whoa, relax.
We didn't take anything.

The kid offered
to feed us.

You never quit, do you?

(Jeremiah)
It's all right, Neal.

He's--he's right.

We shouldn't have imposed.

Come on.

Don't come back.

Thanks for the hospitality.

(Jeremiah)
So far we've got nothing solid

to connect these 2 towns.

Whoever slaughtered
those people in Mayfair

didn't show a lot of mercy.

(Marcus)
There's not a lot of mercy

in new hope,
by the sound of it.

These people have taken puritanism
to a whole other level.

Can you say "whacked"?

Keep pushing.

Simon was there
for a reason.

Marcus, are you all right?

Touch of the flu,
I think.

Better save the battery.

You should go
to the infirmary.

You still don't
trust them, do you?

Me? I find trust
something of a narcotic.

In small doses,
it's relatively harmless,

you just don't wanna
mainline it.

[chuckles]

Well, maybe
that's my problem.

[panting]

(man)
Marcus, you OK?

[man groaning]

[hens clucking]

Where are they taking
that man?

Can't say.

[grunting]

You can't or you won't?

Offenders get taken away.
That's all I know.

So what was his offense?

Could have been
any number of things.

Yeah, like holding
his wife's hand?

Who are you to question
what goes on here, huh?

Unless I'm wrong,

I'm not the only one
who thinks it's a little crazy.

Look,

we're all alive here.
The big death hasn't returned.

"May this house be safe
from tigers."

Sorry?

A holy man once put a blessing
on a house in the city.

He said, "May your house
be safe from tigers."

a couple of years later, this guy's
neighbor hears it and laughs.

He says, "You know what?
There are no tigers in this city."

The guy says, "Yeah, of course.
it must be working."

What do you know about what
happened in the town of Mayfair?

I--I shouldn't even
be talkin' to you.

I could tell you stories
that'd make your hair curly.

My hair's
already curly.

Well, I'm sure
I could straighten it.

I'm listening.

When was the last time
you let a man touch you?

I'm not sure.

Well, it couldn't have been
very memorable.

How long since you've touched
a woman?

Too long.

Much too long.

Was it worth
risking your life for?

Not having sex'll do you in
a lot faster than having it.

Who told you that?

Abstinence, man,

it's the number 2 killer
in the world.

And what's number one?

Believin' liars.

[panting]

What is happening to me here?

Hey, Marcus...

Do not be afraid.

I am here to ease your burden.

(Marcus)
I don't understand.

Wait...

(Marcus)
What are you?

I'm losin' it here.

God help me.

(Lee) I've taken the liberty
of providing copies

of Dr. gerris' findings
regarding Marcus' condition.

He says that once
the anti-inflammatories kick in,

the fever should reduce,

but what's causing it
is still an open question.

Perhaps you can explain

why a special session
of the council had to be convened.

For the simple reason

that there's no clear line of succession
should the unthinkable happen.

Sorry, Lee,

but don't you think
you're jumping the gun just a bit?

Better to discuss it now
than in the heat of a crisis.

[hammering]

(Vernon) Appreciate you guys
helping us out.

There's nothing wrong
with a little hard work.

Isn't that
what you always say, Kurdy?

Actually, it's "No good deed
goes unpunished."

You didn't bring us out here today
to work on the barn, did you, Vernon?

You asked me about those people
in Mayfair, right?

Yeah.

Can I have a word
with you, Vernon?

Yeah, sure.

Idle hands and all that,
right, guys?

Yeah, whatever.

Drink?

You're new.

Yeah.

I'm Elayna.

Hi, Elayna.
I'm Jeremiah.

No one around here
will help me.

Will you, Jeremiah?

All depends. What are we
talking about here?

My mom...

Help me find my mom.

Her name's Naomi.

They took her away
around last harvest.

Who took her?

The elders.

Why? I mean,
what'd she do?

I got sick.

She held me,
and somebody saw us.

Do you have any idea where
they might have taken her?

No, but she's close.

I can feel it.

Mommy always
fixes my clothes.

(Angus)
Move along, child.

There are
thirsty people here.

You're my last chance,
Jeremiah.

4-4.

Still split.

It may be better
not to press the issue, Lee.

On the contrary.

As long as Marcus is in the throes
of an undiagnosed illness,

we're a ship without a rudder
and on a collision course.

And only you
can steer us to safety,

is that the idea?

I have Marcus' trust.

I would think
that would be enough.

And if control
is turned over to you,

what happens
when Marcus recovers?

Obviously,
he resumes his role.

Assuming you're willing
to relinquish the reins of power.

What are you
worried about, Erin?

The only reason the Mountain
has survived this long

is because of Marcus'
unswerving vision.

What happens up top,

what happens in the world
outside these walls,

could well hang
in the balance.

What's the matter?

You think I'll subvert
Marcus' agenda?

I don't know, Lee.

I don't think any of us know,

and until we do,

I think we ought to err
on the side of caution.

You sure about this?

Aren't you?

Come on.

OK.

Wait.

Are you OK?

Let me catch my breath.

Are you scared?

You?

A little.

Well, at least
we're out of that hellhole.

Neal, what if they're right?

They're not,

and even if they were,

you heard what Kurdy said.

It's our lives.

[panting]

Oh, God.

[whispering]
See? We're still here.

[dog barking]

[barking]

You wouldn't listen.

You just wouldn't
listen.

Get up.

(Stenn)
Neal Deveraux, Karin Lewis,

you are charged
with violation of the decree

enacted by the committee
for moral sanctity.

[gasps]

Marcus...

You're not real.

This can't be real.

(apparition) Your sickness
is a fear of the mind.

You are afraid to leave them,
as you were left.

I know the loneliness.

Every orphan knows it.

The great night approaches,

but do not be afraid.

When your darkness comes,
you will be forgiven.

(Marcus) Wait.

Don't go.
Don't--don't--don't go.

(Jeremiah) The little girl
who brought me water,

her mother.

Her name is Naomi.

You've gotta know her.

Yeah, I know her.

What happened to her?

[scoffs]

You think it's just physical separation
they enforce here, huh?

What do you mean?

You don't know
what it's like, OK?

You've been here for what,
2 days?

I know people
are disappearing...

And people
are dying, for what?

Some screwed-up paranoia
a-about touching?

This isn't about touching,
Vernon.

It's about stripping away everything
that makes you a human being.

It's about puttin'
the fear of God in you.

They took Naomi,

just like they took that man
you saw yesterday,

just like they took
all the rest.

What happened
in Mayfair?

[sighs]

They rebelled.

Against the rules
about touching?

They made sex
lawful again.

Well, sure.

Legalize sex, next thing you know,
people start smiling.

And for that
they were murdered?

If not,
it would've spread.

What?

What would've spread,
the disease?

The thirst for freedom.

Who's responsible?

(Jeremiah)
I asked you a question!

Who killed those people?

(Stenn) Vernon,

I think you better
come with me.

You son of a bitch.

You know what they're doing,
don't you?

Don't you?

Tell me!

Are you crazy? Do you know
what they're gonna do to you?

I don't give a damn.

[groaning]

Take him away.

[groaning]

(guard) Get goin'.

No! Get the girl!

Get her out of here!

[groaning]

[groaning]

(Stenn) Not the kind of
accommodations you were expecting?

I'll let you know after I've seen
the room service menu.

You think you have resolve.

You don't know
the meaning of resolve,

but over time, you'll learn.

I have no doubt about that.

[spits]

[grunting]

[chains rattle]

The little girl's mother...

Hey! Which one?

Don't you think you've caused
enough trouble?

Naomi.

Naomi?

(Naomi) What?

How do you know my name?

Your daughter
Elayna told me.

I don't have
a daughter.

I talked to her.

I saw her.

Go to hell.

They told her
that you were dead,

but she didn't
believe them.

Yeah, I might as well be.

Don't give up on her.

She didn't give up on you.

For all I know,
you're one of them.

Well, I'm not one of them.

My name's Jeremiah.

What do you want from me?

I don't want anything.

It's for Elayna.

You have no idea
what it's like...

Not being able
to talk to her,

to comfort her.

It's worse than anything
they could do to me.

That--that's why you've got to
help me get these bastards.

It hurts too much to hope.
Can't you understand that?

Please, just leave me
the hell alone.

Her jacket was torn.

She said

that you always
mend her clothes.

I guess you won't be there
to mend 'em anymore.

She's not sick, is she?

Is she getting enough to eat?

She looks fine.

She's...Strong.

I think I see
where she gets it.

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

(Neal)
Angus, please.

You can't do this.

You say you're my father,

for God's sake, help me.

You broke
the covenant.

You're no longer
my son.

Dad.

Dad!

Look at me.

(Stenn)
You have been found guilty

of violating
the supreme decree.

The sentence
to be carried out

by the committee
for moral sanctity.

May God have mercy
on your soul.

(Stenn)
Any last words?

Well, I got a couple.

Who the fuck
do you think you are?

Get the hell out of here.

Turn the boy loose first.

This is not your concern.

You have no standing here.

You plan on harmin' a hair on that
boy's head, you gotta come through me.

Have it your way.

[laughs]

What, you got big sticks,

so you don't have to get
all touchy-feely

when you start wailing
on somebody?

I don't mind.

It's just that fighting's
a contact sport.

We call it banging knuckles,
smacking jaws.

It's all good.

[all yelling]

Flesh to flesh,
belly to belly.

You gotta love it, baby.

[screams]

[yells]

Only my knife likes touching
even more than I do.

[groans]

Sticks and stones
may break my bones...

But I know
they're gonna break yours.

[man groaning]

Look out!

[groaning]

[sobs]

[Neal grunts]

Where's the child?

Find her!

[knocking on door]

How are you feeling?

How do I look?

Like hell.

[laughs]

Well, that should
answer your question.

I brought you
some soup.

Oh, I don't think
I could keep it down.

You need to get
your strength.

What for,
when I've got you.

Come here,
come here.

What?

Just making sure
that you're real.

Never mind.

Let me ask you
something, Marcus.

How did a man
who created all this

manage to be such
a lousy judge of character?

You're talking
about Lee.

While you were
burning up with fever,

he came very close
to taking over the Mountain.

Would that have been so bad?

You know that it would be.

This place,
this movement,

shouldn't belong
to any one person.

Then certainly not Lee Chen.

You saw to that,
I'm sure.

What makes you so sure?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm a lousy judge
of character, remember?

Thank you, Erin.

You know,

for a while there, when I was
swimming in the deep end,

and I realized
this could be it,

I was terrified.

I don't think
I've ever seen you scared.

It occurred to me,
I'm only a few years younger

than my father was
when he died,

when a million people a day
were dying.

When we were kids,

death was
about growing old.

Now...

The scary thing
is not the end.

The scary thing
is seeing it coming.

Who was responsible
for the bloodbath in Mayfair?

If you've been in new hope more
than 5 minutes, you've met them.

Stenn?

He's the leader, yeah,

but all the elders
would have had to have agreed.

It's hard to imagine superstition
would drive them to kill.

It's not about superstition.

Then what the hell's it about?

It's an experiment.

It's crazy, I know,

but that's what
new hope is,

what Mayfair was...

An experiment to find out
how the virus was transmitted.

If it was airborne and came back,
there'd be no chance.

But if it came
by way of touch...

If they're crazy enough to wipe out
the entire town of Mayfair

for condoning sex,
why take prisoners?

W-why not just kill
all these people?

We're examined every day.

They take blood.

More data
for the experiment.

I guess we're
the contaminated group.

When do they take the blood?

[door opens]

[door closes]

I see we've got
a new guest.

Roll up your sleeve.

Oh, you don't want
my blood, Doc.

Shut up.

Squeeze your fist.

You ever heard
of flesh-eating bacteria?

It's nasty shit.

I thought they made it up,
until they told me

that it was swimming around
in my bloodstream.

Oh, speaking of which,

I've got this hole
in the back of my left thigh,

doesn't want to seem
to heal up.

Think you could take a look at that
for me when you get a chance?

I mean,
I wouldn't worry about it,

with the gloves and all.

Yeah?

Do something, asshole.

Uh-uh.

One move,
I poke this needle in,

and your bloodstream
is just full of that shit.

Now, Doc,

what do you say you have
your friend over there

unlock that lady
and the rest of these people?

You get my point?

Do it.

(doctor) Do it!

Now.

[keys clicking]

(Stenn)
I'm sorry to say

one of our shining lights
has fallen from grace.

Angus' son Neal
has run away,

and Vernon has been exiled
along with the newcomers

for his treasonous
collaboration.

The good news

is we remain vigilant,
we remain pure,

and the holy decree
continues to keep us strong.

(Naomi)
Elayna, baby!

(Elayna)
Mommy!

I'm here, sweetheart.

Stop them.

[people murmuring]

You heard the man.

Can't you see a crime
is being committed?

A mother just hugged
her little girl.

If that isn't a capital offense,
I don't know what is.

You mock us, Naomi,

but the decree is all we have.

It's what holds
our community together.

Really?

Because I thought
it was fear.

I thought it was ignorance.

You think if you spread your lies
with enough conviction,

people will believe you?

Well, it's worked for you,
hasn't it?

If you don't believe me,
ask your neighbors.

The decree is just an excuse,

so they have Guinea pigs
for their medical experiment.

They figured you were all so scared
of the big death returning

that you'd believe
about anything.

I can see
that they were right.

It's that kind of talk that encouraged
my son to run away.

(Kurdy) Why don't you tell them
what really happened?

(Stenn)
Arrest that man!

(man)
What's going on?

Your son never had a chance
to run away,

'cause you and your murdering
buddies stoned him to death.

No!

[crying]

Oh, you murdered him!

(karin)
Oh, oh, my God!

That's a damn lie.

There's your killer.

No, he's not!

You threw rocks at him.

You hurt him
till he stopped moving.

(man)
Is it true?

Citizens of New Hope,

I implore you,

trust in the truth.

Oh, I'm with you
there, Stenn,

but let's just clarify
what the truth really is.

(Jeremiah) 48 hours ago, Kurdy
and I were in the town of Mayfair.

Some of you may have friends
there, maybe relatives.

Well, I'm sorry to tell you,
but they're all dead now.

They were poisoned by Stenn
and his committee for moral sanctity.

That's enough!

Take these heretics away.

Now!

They're not heretics, Stenn.

They're not sheep, either.

These are people,

people with hearts.

They have heads.

You know what?
They have hands.

You know, we could all end this
nightmare right now just by holding hands.

The experiment
would be ruined, wouldn't it?

Who'll take my hand?

Stop it.

No, you--you don't know
what you're doing.

You're gonna die, all of you.
Don't you see that?

A touch is all it takes.

This is insane. Stop.

In the name of God,
I command you.

Stenn...
It's over.

Your stranglehold,
the experiment,

it's done.

And now you're
gonna pay for it.

(Jeremiah)
I just keep thinking

about how angry
you would have been, dad,

to see knowledge
turned upside down,

to see science so perverted.

These people believed
in what they were told,

until they figured out
their only shot at salvation

was believing in themselves.
