All language subtitles for Jeremiah S02E14 - Interregnum (1)

Previously on jeremiah--

can you tell me
where I go to sign in?
i'm here to join up.

What's your name?
Tad.

I killed libby.

It wasn't jeremiah's fault,

it wasn't anybody's
fault but mine.

You've got to
tell jeremiah.

He can never
find out about this.

It would destroy him.

Follow daniel to victory,

or stand helplessly
beside the alliance.

It's begun.

Three hills is gone.

Looks like
they swept in

and killed everybody
they could find

and scared
everybody else away.

( markus ): That's why
sims wasn't at cold creek.

That's why the diversion.

What if it's
a three-pronged attack?

Where's the third one?

( Sims ): Yes?

Are your men
in position?
They are.

We're ready to
begin phase two.

Is this close
enough, sir?

Couldn't be better.

I don't think this
is such a great time
for this, smith.

We've got troops coming in.

daniel's troops
are on the move.

I know, but you
have to see this.

Why?
Yeah, why?

Yeah?
You just do,
that's all.

It's important.

Have I ever led
you astray before?

Yes.
Yes.

Well, this isn't
like those times.

jeremiah?

You got
a second?

For you, frank,
freedom of the press,
milhaven gazette,

i'll give you two.

With everything that's
been going on lately

between you guys
and daniel's group,

word is you're headed
for a face-off any time.

I don't know, frank.

It's up to them
as much as it is us.

What I do know
is that we can
not let daniel

turn the world
into a place of forced
labor and executions.

i'd like to shadow you
for the next few days.

In case things heat
up, I want to be there
to write the story.

If daniel wins,
you're not going to have
a newspaper to write for.

I won't get in
the way. You'll
barely know i'm there,

and when you want
me gone, just say so.

Okay.

But not now.

Okay.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey, everybody.
Welcome to milhaven.

i'm gina,
jeremiah's aide

and liaison to the
troops stationed here,

and I know
some of you are
a little nervous.

You're a long
way from home, but
you're in good hands.

The best.

Now, if you'll
come with me,
i'll get you set up.

Let's go.

So you know
this place?
Yeah.

You've been
here before?

A few times.

And you never
mentioned it
because...

The time wasn't
right, but now it is.

You sure get
around, don't you?

I keep busy.

It's me.

( Locks unlatching )

Come on.

They're kind of
quiet for kids.

Yeah, they're
like that here.

i've seen that girl before.

Decontamination procedures

don't work.
We have to
burn the bodies.

What bodies?

The darkness
is coming.

There's no one left
to play with anymore.

That's rose.

She came to
us last winter.

Just in time, too.

This is jeremiah
and kurdy.

They're friends.

Of course they are.

You wouldn't
have brought them
here otherwise.

Do you mind my asking you,
what is this place?

Come with me.
I want to show you
something wonderful.

Okay, everyone,
move it along.

The good people of
grandview are waiting
for these supplies.

They'll be happy to see
your smiling faces and
know that they are safe

from all that
is bad in the world.

How's it going?

We're an hour
behind schedule,

two of the new recruits
couldn't make it, because,

well, they
get car-sick,

and during the load-in,
we dropped a box of grenades.

Excellent work.
Yeah, I thought
you'd be proud.

All right,
move them out!

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 *

well, did we find
out what happened
to our trucks?

It looks like a
shoulder-launched rocket

fired from
somewhere
in the hills.

The team we sent
out came under fire

from the same area
and had to retreat.

Damn it. It's daniel's group.

It's only a matter of time
before they moved on us.

It could be two guys,
it could be a whole
platoon out there.

We should call
back the recruits,

get them to
comb the area.
No, no, no,

they've used diversionary
tactics before. That may
be what they want.

I can't risk pulling
our troops back from that
border. Are we locked down?

Completely.

Then there's no way
they can get in here.

They could drop
a 20-megaton nuke.

It wouldn't dent
the front door, but we
should inform the others,

and the sooner I know
where daniel's troops are,
the better i'll feel.

We're safe here,
for now, at least.

Sir? We've heard
from the advanced unit.

They dropped the hammer
on thunder mountain.

Any response
from inside?
Not yet, sir.

There will be.

They're probably still
trying to figure out
what the hell hit them.

We've drawn
first blood.

Keep your ear
to the ground.

Word will be
getting out soon.

Tell our people
to move the heavy
equipment uphill,

find shelter
from prying eyes
among the trees.

Do not fire again unless
absolutely necessary.

Do nothing to give
away their position.

Yes, sir.

Our goal is
to keep markus'
forces pinned down.

With their helicopters
grounded, our forces
will advance freely.

Yes, sir.

After the big death,
as the survivors
came to maturity,

the babies started
coming with them.

These are kids
having kids.

They didn't know
what to do.

A lot of children
died from neglect,

lack of information.

As i'm sure
you know by now,

some people survived
the big death,

those lucky enough
to have a natural
immunity.

When we saw what
was happening,

we, the women
who run this place,
came together

to help the next
generation to be born.

So what is it, like
a hospital or a school
or something?

A little of
everything,
actually.

Girls who can't take
care of their children
hear about this place.

They seek us
out and leave us
their children.

They're a cross-section
from every walk of life.

Call it a sampling,
if you like,

and that was how
we discovered what
was happening.

Excellent.

You may sit down.

Now, as you can see,

the equation spells out
the series of assumptions

behind the first laws
of thermodynamics,

which states that
energy can neither be
created nor destroyed,

only converted from
one form to another.

Okay? Good.
Now, let's turn
our attention

to the next problem
in your books.

These kids should
be in kindergarten,
first grade,

and they're doing
college-level math.

I know.

Come...

We discovered that
children born after
the big death

were smarter
than they should be,

smarter than they
had any right to be.

Is it possible that
the virus altered
their dna somehow?

I think there are
checks and balances
in the world.

The human race
was dealt a terrible
blow by the big death.

It'll take a lot
to get things
running again.

Call it divine
intervention or
the luck of the draw,

either way, the problem
has also presented us
with the solution.

These children
represent a tremendous
hope for the future.

Out there, they don't
have the resources

to use their intelligence,
to grow into their role.

They don't have
the chance to show
what they can do,

but in here,
and in a few
places like this,

they do have
that chance.

There is a war coming,
kurdy, and if that war
comes here,

all that could
fall away.

That's why
i wanted to show
you this place.

I hate to interrupt,

but there's someone
at the front door
asking for you.

Sir, I know you
said for us to wait
back at the road,

but we just heard
on the radio. Thunder
mountain is under attack.

jeremiah, markus
wants you in milhaven

to coordinate
things from there.

Tell him i'm
on my way.

Look, I want a tactical
group stationed here,
effective immediately.

Anybody from the wrong
side comes by, I want them
stopped, no matter what.

Anything else
you know that we
should know, smith?

Maybe later.
Thank you.

That was the right
thing to do.

There's the
future to protect.

There won't be a future
if the mountain falls,
smith...

No future at all.

( lee ): markus, I just
heard what was happening.

Now's not
a good time, lee.

This is exactly
the right time.

We have to set aside
whatever problems

you and I have had
in the last year.

I ran security for
this place for 10 years.

I know every rat hole
in and out of here.

I know where
we're vulnerable.

I know our
defense capabilities.

Whether you want
to admit it or not,
you need me.

erin's doing
a fine job. I won't
take her off the job

just because--
erin was the
one who sent me.

You're sure you
want to do this?

Better the devil
you know than the
devil out there.

I won't let you
down again, markus.

I swear to
you on my life.

I won't disappoint you.

All right.
Fill me in
on the way.

We still have
the helicopters.

As far as I know,
they don't have access
to the launch area.

I recommend we
send out a chopper
to investigate,

see if we can hit
them from the air...

( Frank ): The first strike
against the western alliance
comes with a bang,

and with a whisper.

The whisper of strategy.
The whisper of concern.

The whisper of secrets.

They speak too softly
for me to hear, because
i am only a guest

and excluded from
knowledge I should
not have,

but, significantly,
they have not asked
me to leave.

The two in charge
of things here,

jeremiah and kurdy,

have the easy, relaxed
relationship of old friends.

They seem to have
a shorthand with
each other.

They must have gone through
quite a bit to learn it.

The third, smith,

seems almost not to
fit in with them,

though he tries
desperately to keep this
from becoming obvious,

as if there is something
standing between him and them,

between him and the world.

I can only make out one word,
infinitely repeated--

the mantra of jeremiah's
grief over the loss of
liberty kaufman,

a name that has become
synonymous with rage--

sims.

I still say we need
to send some troops
back to the mountain.

No, markus is right.
He's safe there.

We don't know that
for sure, jeremiah.

Yeah, we do. As long
as he's got the door
closed, he's fine.

Everything else
is just a diversion.

We got to be
ready when sims
makes his move,

because he's going
to make it here.

The bastard
killed libby.

Makes it personal.
So, no, we do what
markus says.

We form a line
east of here and
we just hang back,

see what happens.

You agree?

Yeah, makes sense.

I read a book once.

It said that
we'd reached the
end of history,

that everything big
or important that
was going to happen

had already happened.

If that's true,
maybe the years
since the big death

was like...
The world
resetting itself,

and now history's
starting all over again.

I think that's
maybe why my watch
started up again.

There's a word
in latin for it.

I heard it once,
a long time ago,

for the time between
when a king dies and
the new king takes over.

"Inter..."
Something,
i don't know.

Interregnum.

That's the one.

Maybe that's
what the last
16 years have been,

an interregnum.

Once, I read about--

you have to
tell jeremiah.

Tell him what?

The truth, about
what happened to libby.

jeremiah's not stupid.

He knows you're
hiding something,

and that's getting
in the way of us

doing what we're
going to have to do.

If I tell him that she
was working for daniel,
he'll never believe me.

He'll kill me.

The thing is,
i could live with the
"he'll kill me" part

better than I could knowing
that he'll never believe me.

Saying that I could live
with him killing me is
a bit of an oxymoron, but...

I believe you.

And I got your back.

I can't.
You can,

and you will,

or I will.

jeremiah's right.

Sooner or later,
sims is going to come,

probably sooner,
and when he comes,

he's going to bring
a lot of his close
personal friends

with him,
and I don't--

look, I don't know
what's going to happen
when that day comes,

but I do know this--
i have never
lied to jeremiah,

and I feel like
i'm lying to him now
by staying silent,

and before he
goes face to face
with this guy,

he has the right
to know the truth,

to know what he...
Might get himself
killed over.

But now's not a good time.
I mean, with everything
that's going on--

it's never a good
time for the truth.

You tell him
or I will.

You got till
tomorrow night.

The reconnaissance
chopper's away.

Base to recon one.

Can you see anything
on the infrared?

Negative.
Running cold
on all fronts.

It's hard to navigate in here
with all the canyon winds.

That's the problem
with this region.

It's full of caves,
switchbacks,

pockets you could hide
a whole platoon inside.

Thunder mountain
was designed to
fight a nuclear war,

to hit targets
8,000 miles away,

not an enemy
parked right on
our front door.

Stand by.
i'm picking
something up.

Confirmed.
We've got a hot spot.
Coordinates 14 by 4--

( warning beep )

Missile. (Curses)

We've got incoming.
Taking evasive action.

I can't shake it.
I can't shake it.

It's coming right up
on my tail, it's right
on top of me.

It's going to hit!

Heat seekers.

They have heat seekers.

markus,
it doesn't matter.

We can keep those
doors closed for
months if we have to.

We've got food,
water, energy,

and several hundred
heavily armed recruits

ready to go the moment
we open those doors.

We can wait
them out.

Can we, lee?

i'm not so sure.

i'm not so
sure at all.

Who's there?

daniel says hello.

( Tad ): daniel says the key
to defeating thunder mountain
is to wall them in.

We have more troops,
more guns, more training,
more resources on the ground.

The mountain
started too late.

They have only
one advantage,
air power.

We haven't been able
to bring planes and
choppers to bear on this

because they've
been sitting outside,
rotting, for 16 years,

but the helicopters
in here are still
in working condition.

If we can ground those
choppers to keep markus
from using them outside,

we win.
It's a sure deal,

so when the time comes,
and the attack begins,

we must make sure
that nothing goes wrong

by keeping them
too busy on the inside

to even think
of going outside.

Sir?

You said to come and get you
when we're ready to move out.

Do you ever read
much poetry, john?

Poetry?

No, sir.

It's not exactly my thing.

No, I haven't been much
of a "poetry" kind of guy.

Too bad.

I am.

Well, not that
there's anything
wrong with it.

Just myself, personally,
i've never read a lot
of poetry, sir.

So the name
san juan de la cruz
means nothing to you?

Pretty much.

Is he a poet?

"The conditions
of a solitary bird
are five--

"the first, that it flies
to the highest point.

"The second, that it does not
suffer for company...

"Not even of its own kind.

"The third,
that it aims its beak

"to the skies.

"The fourth,

"that it does not
have a definite color.

"The fifth,
that it sings...

Very softly."

You know that
nothing in there
rhymes, right?

Tell the others
i'll be right there.

Yes, sir.

( Bird sings )

( Wings flapping )

You look like a man
with a lot on his mind.

Anything new
from the world
outside?

We got a report
a little while ago.

Some of daniel's forces
were seen in a town 30
miles south from here.

Well, that's great.
We finally know
where they are.

No, we don't.

But you just
said that you--

according
to the report,

they saw 10 soldiers
in two trucks.

They came through
town, made a lot of
noise, and left,

only to come back
a second time
an hour later.

No, these guys
wanted to be seen.

So you're saying
it's a diversion.

Probably.

But you
can't be sure.

My gut tells me
they want us to go
on a wild goose chase,

divide our forces
more than they
already are.

These guys are smart.

This is a setup
for something bigger.

You think
they'll come here?

I don't know.
Maybe.

Is that
what you'd do?

Yeah, I would.

I would tie up
the mountain,

make it difficult
to coordinate defenses,

make sure the choppers
couldn't get in the air,

and then I would
strike here,

right in the heart
of what we're trying
to build.

A symbolic victory
on top of the real one.

Something like that.

Excuse me,
i got to do
something.

( ** )

See, the thing
about symbols

is they work both ways.

Let 'em come.

( Frank ):
And for 10 minutes,
not one other word was spoken

by anyone.

markus, we've got
someone on the line

who wants
to talk to you.

i'm busy.
It's sims.

This is markus alexander.

Identify yourself.

You know
who this is.

What do you want?

We are on the precipice
of great and terrible
things, markus.

A great many lives
will be lost or saved,
depending on you.

Go on.
i'm listening.

My forces

are 10,000 strong,
markus,

and more are coming
to join us all the time.

It could be
altogether possible

for you to mount
a defense with
similar numbers,

but ask yourself,

how many will die
on the day our
two sides meet?

So what do you propose?

All in good time.

I just wanted to
put those numbers
in front of you,

remind you of
the consequences,
should all come to a head.

Keep this line open.

i'll be in touch
with the rest of it
when the time's right.

He's got a card up his sleeve,
something we don't know about.

I want everything
double and triple checked.

Make sure our weapons
are up to snuff.

Whatever he has
in mind, I don't want
to get caught napping.

i'm ready.

Something wrong?

What is it?

There's something
you need to hear,
jeremiah.

When I first
got into the church,

I heard them talking,
something about a radio.

At first,
i didn't even know

it was libby, but when
i saw her and she walked
up to sims, and...

( libby ):
I wanted to see you.

( Sims ): daniel appreciates
everything you've done.

She was working for
him the whole time,

watching us,

using you.

She said no one
would believe me

because...
Of the way I am.

And she had a gun.

We both did.

I tried to
talk to her.

I tried to get
through to her,

and I thought I did,
for just a moment,

and then she turned...

I didn't even--

I didn't even know
i'd hit her at first.
I just fired blind,

and when I went up
afterwards to see...

( Gasping for air )

I couldn't do anything.

There was nothing.

You killed her.

She was working for sims.

jeremiah, no.
You're lying.
i'll kill you!

Get off! (Curses)

smith!
You are going to die!

( Kurdy ):
No. smith, go. Get
out of here! Go!

Let me go, kurdy!

jeremiah,
i'm sorry.

Damn you!

If I could've
done anything...

smith, get out of here!

( ** )

Unit four,
moving into position.

You copy, unit two?

Confirmed,
we're on it.

Boss says we have to be
in position by midnight.

( Beeping )

Yeah?

It's me.

Yeah, I figured.
What do you want?

Particularly nasty weather
we're having, markus.

Not that you'd know,
i suppose,

being stuck in that
steel and concrete
hole in the ground.

Well,
it's a perfect day in here.

No snow. No rain.
No you.

What more can
a man ask for?

( Radio crackles )

There's blood on the wind,
markus alexander.

A lot of people
are going to die.

How do you propose
we stop that?

I want you to know

I have been authorized
to accept your surrender.

In return, I can offer
immunity for your men,

provided they pledge
allegiance to daniel.

i'm giving you
a chance to walk away
while you still can.

That's funny.
I was going to give
you the same offer.

Our forces will
be within striking
distance very soon.

We have you
outnumbered,
outgunned,

thunder mountain
locked down, impotent.

There's no point to
this fight, markus.

We have no desire
to slaughter your people.

daniel says--

daniel doesn't exist.

I don't believe
i heard you correctly.

There is no daniel.

His image,
his voice,
his history,

it was all created
by other people.

You're in service to a lie.

I suppose you
can prove this?

All in time.

i'll get all
the proof we need,

or you can
get it yourself.

You can ask
to see him.

He's a busy man.

Of course.

I guess that's
why he's never
met in person

the one man who is
in charge of his army.

If I were you,
i'd be asking
myself this question--

how this guy in
a concrete hole
in the ground

knows that you've
never met daniel?

Unless he doesn't exist.

If a beautiful woman
tells you you're handsome,

does it matter if
it's true or not?

You stand a little
straighter, feel a little
taller in your shoes.

You don't turn away
from the mirror quite as
quickly as you used to.

What I found has
given me purpose,
a focus,

a divine mission.

I know someone
who'd disagree
with you.

This conversation
is over, markus.

i've given you a way out.

Stand down

and we will show
you we are merciful.

Stand against us,

we will sweep
down on you like
a mighty wind.

We will erase you
and everyone you love.

Your choice.

How did it go?

He said about
what I thought
he would say.

Which raises
the question,
why say it at all?

In war, you have
two choices, fight
or surrender.

He didn't give
us any options we
didn't already have.

Well, maybe
he wanted to
distract us.

Keep us focused on
the threat outside

so we don't think
about anything
closer to home,

because in the last 24 hours,

i've found over
a dozen examples
of sabotage.

Cars, trucks,
equipment,
you name it.

Could be just one guy,
could be a lot.

Either way,
we've got trouble
outside and in.

You okay?

Yeah.

I know you don't want
to believe it, jeremiah.

I don't want to
believe it either,
but it all tracks.

I didn't want
to believe it.

Why would anybody
want to believe it?

( Sighs )
I wanted to prove
it wasn't true,

that he was lying,

so I went upstairs.
I was looking around.

( Sighs )

She had a radio
hidden in her closet.

Damn, man.

Look, you know...

It doesn't matter
who pulled the
trigger that night.

It doesn't.
It was still sims
who killed her.

He pulled her in,

he turned her out,

he got her
working for him.

He's the one
responsible
for this.

All smith was
doing was trying
to protect himself.

If he hadn't fired back,
he'd be dead right now

and we would have
somebody in our camp

that we
couldn't trust.
I know.

We can't
afford that.
I know.

I don't want to
see smith right now.

I don't want to see him,
i don't want to hear his name,
even knowing what I know,

I can't guarantee
what'll happen.

You got it.

You see,
that's the thing
about guys like sims,

they corrupt
everything they touch.

Since day one...

Everything that
we loved or cared about,

they either killed it
or turned it against us.

No more.

Tried to cut our head off
by taking out the mountain.

First chance I get,
sims is a dead man.

Hey.

jeremiah's going
to need some time,

you know?

I appreciate
what you did.

If you wouldn't
have been there,

there would just be
a smith-shaped smear
on the carpet.

So what do
i do from here?

Well, he doesn't want
to see you for a while.

Maybe a long while,

probably not
until sims is dead,

and I think that's
the only thing that's
going to even things out,

let him move on,
get on with his life,

you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Where are you going?

For a walk.
Take care of
something.

You heading out?
Yep.

When are you coming back,
so I can tell the guards?

Right after
i kill someone.

How are you doing?

i'm better.

i've just got
to get past this.

I know that now.

Anyway, i've got
this thing working.

Some kind of
communication's
coming in,

but it's in code.

Might come in
handy later.

Big time.
Thank you.

Yeah.

Look, kurdy,
what I said
to smith...

The thing is,
i believe you,

and if you believe him,
that's good enough for me.

He got shot doing
something I could
never have done myself,

and I know that.

So if he's around...

He's not.

He took off
sometime during
the night.

Where the hell
did he go?

I don't know, man.

i've asked around.
Nobody's seen him.

I just hope
he stays out
of trouble.

You tried to kill me.

You understand
i'm inclined
to take that

rather personally.

Are you working all alone,

or have others
come with you?

Are you on orders
to try and kill me,

or did you come up with
this fanciful notion
entirely by yourself?

You cannot touch me.

You cannot hurt me.

No?

Then what do you
call all this?

Besides damned
entertaining?

You know,
it's hard to be sure,

'cause it was dark
when we first met,

and now your face
is a bit reminiscent
of five pounds

of ground round,

but I do believe...

i've seen your
face before.

You're that fellow
who thinks he gets
messages from god.

Where is your
god now, little man?

Why would he allow
you to be captured,

beaten, turned over
to his enemies unless...

He has forsaken you?

Why don't you ask
him yourself when
you see him?

I don't think
you'll have
to wait long.

I ask you, what
kind of a man sends
an insane person

to attempt an
assassination?

At the very least,
send somebody
respectable.

I consider this
downright rude.

He's not worth a bullet.

I should fillet him,

but he's too small
for the frying pan,

well below
the legal limit.

Throw him back
in the water.

Time we were
on our way.

Tell the group captains

we'll hook up
at four roads,
dawn, friday.

Then we go in.

We've got a war to win.
