"... is high on Capitol Hill as an emergency session of Congress prepares to hear the president address the issue of global violence." "Recent attacks have pushed this administration to take extreme action, raising more fears than is alleviated." "With global tension rising, the president is taking a risky step by confronting what some political observers..." "Oh, I can't believe it." "Jake Green." "How you doing, man?" "When did you get back to town?" "Just now." "Is that Bonnie?" "You grew up." "Well, wait a minute." "Where the hell you been?" "Around." "Jake, no one's been around for five years." "The Army." "I've been in the Army." "Good for you." " Who's that?" " She's from the IRS." "IRS?" "Audit, IRS?" "Yeah." " Not going well?" " No." "Forget it." "How about you and I, we go out tonight and we catch up?" "I'd love to, but I just came in to see my grandpa and then I gotta get back, so..." "Okay." "Bonnie?" "Bonnie, we need a pie." "One strawberry-rhubarb." "Thank you." "Welcome back to Jericho, Jake." "His wife is lovely, but I don't know about him." "Mrs. Olson made me promise not to tell but she heard that he bought the old Thompson place in cash." "Cash." "That color looks really good on you." "I know." "Why didn't your mom take you to New York?" "Because she hates me." "What are you looking at, loser?" "I could be shopping in SoHo right now instead of Gracie's Market." " I know." " Look at this thing." " It's so ugly." " Promise not to tell." "I promise, Mrs. Leigh." "What about you, Jake?" "Where have you been keeping yourself?" "I've been playing minor league baseball." "Oh, is that a fact?" "Well, when do you get in from Chicago?" "All right." "Good." "I'll pick you up." "I love you, too." "Hey." "I'm sorry, hi." "What are you doing here?" "I just came in for the day to visit my grandpa." "See the family." "Yeah, of course." "Sure." "I just didn't hear." "Anyway, how you been?" "Mom tells me you're teaching at the high school now." "Yeah." "It's weird, huh?" " Yeah." " I love it." "I just bought a house in the Pines." "East side, on a teacher's salary?" "My fiancé, he's in banking, so..." "Well, that helps." "Yeah." "Roger really loves it here." "Well, I'm happy for you, Emily." "How about you?" "You got somebody?" "No." "I'm sorry." "Oh, no, you're not." "You love it." "God." "Where have you been?" "The Navy." "Oh, why do I even bother?" "Seriously, where have you been?" "Oh, Jake." "Oh, honey." "Oh, you're home." " You're choking me, Mom." " Well." "Thought I heard an annoying voice." " Brother." " Hey, brother." "Good to see you again." "I'm not here to interfere with your campaign, Dad." "All I want is your signature." "Then I'll visit grandpa..." "After five years that's all you have to say to dad?" "It's none of your business, Eric." "It is his business." "It is all our business." "What you put this family through is..." " Johnston, for God's sake." " He could have been..." "We could spend a week talking about that." "I've apologized." "I've made amends." "This is me now." "I have a plan, but I need my money to make a clean start." "It's your grandfather's money." "I know." "But he gave it to me for a reason." "And he gave me authority over it for a reason." "You convince me you're leading a more productive life, and then..." "That's right, Jake." "We were both born on third base." "Quit pretending you hit a triple." "Now when are you gonna realize I'm thirty-two years old?" "When you do." "Can I talk to my mayor then?" "Huh?" "Let's go see your grandfather." " I just..." " Stop it, Jake." " One thing I can't change..." " You'd have been here if you could." "I brought money." "Here." "I can't, Mom." "I'll talk to your father." "He doesn't get it." "Because you won't tell him why you really need the money." " Mom..." " You don't give him enough credit." "Your dad's had a few trials of his own, you know." "He can never know." "Just stay one more day." "I gotta get back to San Diego by tomorrow." "Mom, one more thing." "You have clumsy hands." "I love you." "You be careful now, okay?" "Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States." "Do we have to watch this?" "Old MacDonald had a farm E- l-E-O" "Yeah, well, we finally found a garage that could fix it and we had to take a detour." "Oceans of hatred has created..." "Feel like I'm back in D.C." "And yet we all know that these divisions pale in comparison to the fundamental dangers posed by the threat of terror." "We have an eternal commitment to leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren." "This has always been our promise and will always be..." "Five, four, three, two, one." "We'll be back in an hour, Mr. McVey." "Mr. McVey?" "Hello?" "No, fun, Woody." "You have to hide better." "Woody." "What are you looking at?" "Gail?" "What's going on?" "Oh, Johnston." "Nothing." "All right, it looks like the explosion came from the west, maybe Denver." "Jimmy, get on the radio." "I want everybody at the Sheriff's station." " I'll pick up Eric." "Let's move." " All right." "Dad, don't leave." "Come here." "I'll be back real soon, all right?" "Johnston" "Jake." "We'll find him." "We're bringing them out of the mine five at a time, like always." "No need to start a panic." "You're trying to get another hour's work out of my men." "Stop it, the both of you." "Norman, get everybody out of the mine immediately." "And, Shep, help him for a change." "Sheriff." "Chief." " Yeah." " Damage?" "Fires?" "Buildings?" "Nothing, Mr. Mayor." "The town's fine." "Let's hope you're right." "What's that mean?" "Do we have any Geiger counters?" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Did something happen?" "So, what does the emergency plan say?" "Contact the governor, National Guard and State troopers." "Are we under attack?" "Son, I don't want to hear that word again." "Now look, this could have been a test." "It could have been an accident." "There's military bases near Denver." "One explosion does not make an attack." "We stay calm, the town stays calm." "Okay?" " I found the Geiger counters." " Thanks." "Oh, Gray, good to see you." "Can use the extra help." "Oh, thank you, Johnston." "Eric." "Well, what can I do to help?" "We'll let you know." "Does it work, Dad?" "Looks okay." "Mr. Mayor." "Sheriff." "A bomb." "Yes, ma'am." "So far there's no sign of any radiation." " We'll keep checking around town." " No, sir." "The school bus isn't back from the field trip with my daughter." "Well, do something." "You should be out there looking for Stacy." "Yes, ma'am." "Ma'am, Teresa, this is the first we've heard of it but we will deal with it." "All right?" "Just please, don't worry." "That's easy for you to say." "You don't have a child out there." "So the school bus was here at the caves, who can tell me where they may have gone for repairs?" " There's Wilson's Garage off 160." " Or Cedar Run Road." "Principal McVey said they took a detour before the phone cut out." "Well, I figure two teams." "There's only so many places it could be." "Well, what about the parents?" "Folks." "Folks." "Folks." "Now look, I know that every part of you wants to just rush out there." "I don't blame you." "But as your friend, I'm asking you to think about that." "You're safe here." "And what if, God forbid, you go out there and you get stranded and your child comes back an orphan?" "You know the Sheriff and his men." "You know they'll find your kids." "So please." "Mister!" "Mister, please." " Mister." " What?" "What is it?" "Mister, help." "Mister, please." "I think they're dying." "Jimmy, get over there and calm those folks down." "Hey, Pete, come on." "We have our frequencies, sir." "But outside it's like there's no one there." "All right, what about analog?" "We could contact the governor with a ham radio, couldn't we?" "That could work, but there's only one in town that I know of." "I was afraid you were gonna say that." "Excuse me." "Sheriff?" "Robert Hawkins." "It's good to meet you, Mister Hawkins," " but we've got our hands full." " Could you use an extra man?" "No civilians." "Mayor's orders." "Well, I used to be a cop." "St. Louis." " Do you know the roads around here?" " No." "Just moved to town." "Then I'm afraid you'd just slow us down." "I'm sorry." "You might want to get some black spray paint." "You know, cover that." "Look, I know you're telling people it was an accident and I hope it was." "But if it was an attack, Sheriff, and there's chaos out there, you might not want the wrong people knowing that Jericho is still here." "With all due respect, Mister Hawkins, this is not St. Louis." " Dad, are you okay?" " I'm fine." "Don't worry about me." "Oliver, would you stop that?" "All right, Johnston." "Thought you were aliens." "Well, we're under attack by aliens, don't you know?" "Yes, we do." "That's why we're here." "Do you have your ham radio?" "For you, 50 cents." " Oliver." " Well, I need my 50 cents." "Okay." "I'll get your change." "Hi, Dale." "Sorry I didn't call sooner, angel, but we decided to stay in the city an extra couple days." "Put down the phone and come to bed." "Honey, stop that." "It's my kid." "Baby, what are you staring at out the window?" "Get over here and look at this." "What is that?" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God...!" "Hi, Dale." "Sorry I didn't call sooner, angel, but we decided to stay in the city an extra couple days." "Put down the phone and come to bed." "Honey..." "But we decided to stay in the city an extra couple days." "Put down the phone and come to bed." "Honey..." "Hi, Dale." "Sorry I didn't call sooner, angel, but we decided..." "Hi, Dale." "Sorry I didn't call sooner, angel but we decided to stay in the city an extra couple days." "Put down the phone and come to bed." "Honey, stop that." "It's my kid." "Baby..." "Hi, Dale..." " How could we lose power?" " I don't know." " Bomb could have fried the relays." " Well, that's possible." "They could have blown up the power station, for all we know." "Guys, it was probably just a drain on the system from Denver." "Are you a science teacher?" " Robert Hawkins." " Chief Carroll." " Hey." " Hey." " Jimmy, what's your 20?" " Willow Creek, sheriff." "There is nothing in sight." "The deer went crazy and started running all over the road." "All right, just don't look at it." "Is he alive?" "Yeah." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, only I think my leg is broken." "Can you feel your toes?" "Yeah." "Don't worry about me." "Worry about them." "Is anybody hurt, huh?" "Anybody?" "Stacy's sick." "She can't breathe." "What's wrong?" "What happened?" "When the bus stopped, she was like this." "That's okay, Stacy." "Let me see." "Let me see it." "Let me see." "Let me just see, Stacy." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Do you have an ice pack?" "We gotta stop the swelling now." "Look, it's the first-aid kit is under the seat." "You're okay." "Come on." "It's all right, just keep breathing." "Breathe normally, all right?" "It's okay." "It's okay, you're fine." "Just keep breathing normally." "Okay, you're okay." "You're okay." "Please." "Calm down." "Calm down." "Hey." "Hey, Stacy." "No, no, no." "Think, think." "Think." "All right, look, I need everyone's help right now." "Who has a pen?" "Does anyone?" "Does anybody have a pen?" " All right, I need a pen." " We have pencils." "No, I need a tube." " Something hollow." "A straw." " I have a straw." "Here, let me see it." "Let me see it." "Come on." "It's too thin." "Does anyone else have a juice box?" "Get them out." "Get some Band-Aids out." " What's your name?" " Julie." "Everybody your straws to Julie, okay?" "Hurry, quick." "Make them into a circle." "All right, you got that?" "Here you go." "Now tape them together with those Band-Aids." "Hang on, Stacy." "Who's the strongest kid, huh?" "You, I need to hold her shoulders down in case she wakes up, all right?" "Don't look." "Where's my straws?" "Okay, please." "Come on." "Come on." "Wait, I see something." "Okay, okay, we see the bus." " Oh, good." " You want us?" "No, no, you keep looking for Jake." "Let's get down there, boys." "How'd you learn how to do that?" "Military school." "Were you a soldier?" "No, a screw up." "Sheriff." "Sheriff, look at this." " It's the wrong bus." " Riley." "Riley, get over here." "Riley!" "Oh, great, where's the damn rescue party?" "Well, hi, Dale." "Come on in, honey." "Come on." "We're all trying to get through this together." "Hi, Dale." "You okay, honey?" "What do you got there?" "It's my mom." "Hi, Dale." "Sorry I didn't call sooner, angel, but we decided to stay in the city an extra couple days." "Put down the phone and come to bed." "Honey, stop that." "It's my kid." "Baby, what're you staring at out the window?" "Get over here and look at this." "What is that?" "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my God...!" "Oh, Dale, I am so sorry." "I didn't know your mother was in Denver." "She wasn't in Denver." "She was in Atlanta." "Oh, my God!" "I'm sure that they'll have some answers." " How is she?" " We need to get her back." "Right here." "Right here." "Miss Lisinski?" "Are we going to have school tomorrow?" "We'll figure it out, honey." "I vote no." "Dale." "Dale, what're you doing, honey?" "Please, please don't steal from me." "Dale!" " Hey, you get extra there?" " First come, first serve." "Man, you filled up your truck." "Gonna mow your lawn, too." "I got a family, you know." "We all got families." "Come on." "Get your hand off the can." "Come on." "What do you think you're doing, huh?" " What are you doing?" " What is your problem." "All right, everybody, sit down." "Hurry." "The food won't go rotten as long as the weather stays cool." "Hopefully the power will be fixed by then." "Thank you for this, Dale." "Anything for you, ma'am." " Get out of the truck." " Step away." " Get out of the truck." " I'm not getting out of the truck." " Hey, hey, hey!" " Come on, break it up!" " Get off me." " Come on." "You need to get some lights on before people start losing it." "All we have is lanterns and flashlights." "That's not enough to light up the street, though." "But your town does road work at night, right?" "Excuse me." " Hand off her." " Your machine doesn't work." "You guys gotta pay cash, or something." "You sure you're not the science teacher?" "Chief." "We got real problems down here at the gas station." "We need your help right away." " I'm on my way." " I got this." " I'll come with you." " All right, thanks." "Sir?" "Something's going on at the gas station." "Big crowd." "Looks like trouble." "We need help down here." " Dad?" " I heard." "Go." "Go." " Sarah." " It's okay." "Honey?" "I don't have time right now." "Some damn fool..." " Johnston?" " What?" "Listen to me." "Dale Turner's mother died tonight in another explosion." "Atlanta." "Oh, my god." "Sheriff, there's no sign of Jake out here." "In fact, there's no sign of anybody." "We're gonna head back." "Let me know if the kids need anything." "Sheriff, you there?" "Stay awake." "Stay awake till..." "Does this bus have a gas can?" "If the bus..." "If it stops..." "Okay." "Kids, listen to me." "If the bus stops again, we're gonna need you to walk back to town and get help." "Okay?" "I don't know where we are." "When you get to the stop sign, turn left." "All right?" "Take a left." "Which way is left?" "Hold up your hands." "Stick out your thumbs." "The one that makes the L, that's your left." "Get your hands off me." "Put that down." "Put it down." "Johnny Edwards..." "Carl." "Carl." "Marty Haigler, stop it right now." "Yeah, Marty, I'm talking to you." "Michael Stephens." "Carl Mead." "Carl." "Why are you turning on each other?" "Stealing from your neighbors?" "You are fighting the wrong people." "Now, we are, literally, in the dark." "All I'm saying is that I think we need to get organized." "I don't know where the mayor is but maybe it's time we came up with a plan ourselves." "What's going on, Gray?" "We making speeches?" "With all due respect, Mr. Mayor, we have a missing bus, no police." "Firemen doing policemen's jobs." "How dare you politicize..." " Eric." " I'm not talking to my opponent." "I'm talking to my mayor." "I don't care about the election, I care about survival." "We just might be on our own here." "And I need to know what my mayor intends to do." "Folks, I know we've been through a lot tonight." "I want to tell you something, I've been to big cities, foreign countries, but I'll take the good people..." "The good people of Jericho over any other city." "We know, Mr. Mayor, we've heard the speech." "Well, Shep, I hope you don't think I've been asleep at the switch." "We had all hoped that this was an accident but the unfortunate truth is there was another explosion in Atlanta." "I've been busy trying to contact the governor to coordinate..." "What if the governor's dead?" "There is no report of anything happening in Topeka." "How are we gonna get reports without television?" " Or no phones." " What about New York?" "We don't know anything about New York." "How are we gonna get the power back on?" "One at a time." "Please, just calm down." "Calm down?" "My boy is still out there." "The Sheriff is out there right now looking for your boy and my boy." "Why don't you have more police officers out there?" "We need to know what you're gonna do now?" " Help them." "Help them." " Get Stacy." "Hey, there, little one." " What's your name?" " Heather." "Jake." "It's nice to meet you, Jake." "You, too." "Mommy." "I missed you so much." "I love you." " Hey, buddy." " Dad, there was this deer..." "Mommy's right here." "I'm right here, honey." "Everything's going to be okay." "Come on, sweetie." " It's gonna be okay." " Jake." "Mom." " Thanks." " I'll be all right." " Oh, honey." " You gonna be okay?" "Yeah, of course." "Eric, help your brother." "Dad." "Put your arm around me." "Careful." "Careful." " Easy, easy." " Okay." "Eric, get aid." "We'll meet you at the medical center." " Okay." " Hey, hey." "There's an empty prison bus out there." " Where abouts?" " Cedar Road." "All right, just relax." "I'll take care of it." "Oh, God." "Look at you, you're a mess." "I'm fine." "Stop worrying about me." "Well, good luck with that." "Hey, Shep." "You said earlier that you'd heard that speech before." "You ever ask yourself why I say it?" "Because I happen to trust you people." "Because I love my town." "Now something happened in Denver," "Atlanta." "And it could be that we wake up and find out that's where it stopped." "But until we know, are we going to use our imaginations to solve problems or to cause them?" "Now, we can get the power back on." "We can find out how big this thing is." "If we have to we can fight, we can fight anybody." "We can fight all enemies." "The only way that's gonna happen is if we work together." "Now go on home and we'll meet tomorrow at the town hall." "And, folks don't you break my heart again." "Chief, keep all the men at their posts until the sheriff gets back." "Hey, Shep." "I was afraid I was never gonna to see you again." "Come on, you think I'd let Dad have the last word?" "Hey, quit talking about me?" "You did a great thing out there tonight." "Thanks." "Your grandfather would've been proud." "I'm gonna go see what's taking these guys so long." "You know, I go away for a few years, and the town goes to hell." "I'm glad you're home." "Yeah, we'll see." "What are you thinking?" "I was just wondering what it was all gonna look like in the morning." "What's happening?"
