"Previously on Jericho:" "All right, it looks like the explosion came from the west, maybe Denver." "If it was an attack and there's chaos out there, you might not want the wrong people knowing that Jericho is still here." "Last time I saw you, you were gonna tell your wife about us so we could start our life together." "I wake up in the morning and I want it to be you there so badly." "I know, I'm still married and I have a wife." "The mighty Johnston Green felled by the flu." "He went into shock or something." " He's not breathing." " How do we treat it?" "If we had any heavy-duty meds left in the pharmacy, maybe." " We ran out." " They'd have it in Rogue River." "Jake, that's 90 miles away." " Better get going then." " I'm going too." " They've been married for 40 years." " Oh, can you imagine?" "I'm supposed to be married tomorrow." " Roger's coming back." " So is Jake." "Just here for medicine." "We don't have a lot of time." "You're with Ravenwood." "What are you doing in Kansas?" "Homeland Security hired us." "One of our guys just snapped." "I'll take you to see the doc." "Your father has septic shock." "His organs are stopping." "You need an intravenous drug." "Come on, let's go!" "Jake, I left my jacket back there." "The wallet is in the jacket, the address." "What if those guys come here?" "Jericho." "It's straight up 8:00 on a perfect autumn morning, so get up, get out of bed and greet this..." "You heard the man." "Rise and shine, babe." "I thought we were gonna sleep in." " I did, I got up at 6." " Oh, Roger." "Maybe this wedding isn't such a good idea." "Still have a few hours to change your mind." "Maybe if you come back to bed I won't." "Oh, Emily, I wish." "Gotta meet the folks." "Apparently, they're not all that thrilled about their accommodations." "Because they're only in the best bed-and-breakfast in town." "When you're used to staying at the Pierre, overlooking Central Park..." "Do you think your parents will ever get used to a small-town girl stealing away their big-city boy?" "Sure." "Soon as we move back to civilization." "Great, noise and traffic and pollution." "Don't forget about the crime." "I'm not kidding, Roger." "This is it." "When we're married, this is where we live." "You sure that's what you want?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "You sure it's what you want?" "Roger." "Roger." "Roger." "Roger." " We're filling up the Hummers now." " Copy that." "Someone in the window." "There's someone here." "Hey." "What the hell are you guys doing out there?" "Hey, I'm talking to you." "Sorry, we didn't want to knock at this hour." " Stanley, what's going on?" " Go back inside and lock the door." "You're on private property." "This isn't a gas station." "I'll see to it you're reimbursed." "We work for the federal government." "Yeah, what kind of work?" "Just making sure folks have everything they need." "Medical supplies, clean water, food." "A friend of mine told me to look him up if we came through." "You know Eric Green?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you." "Thanks for the fill-up." "Hey." "You stay down here all night?" "Thought I'd keep an eye out, just in case." "Listen, Jake, yesterday, when you talked about where you'd been..." "How did it go with April?" "Did you tell her about you and Mary?" "Didn't think it was the right time." "Yeah, it's never gonna be." "Eric." "Hey, come in." "Hey, sorry to come by so early." "We were awake." "What's up?" "Some guys showed up at the farm last night." "Couple Humvees, guns." " They knew Eric's name." " Ravenwood." " Who?" " Mercenaries." "We ran across them in Rogue River." "Okay, what the hell do they want?" "Everything." "Ravenwood?" "What the hell is that?" "It's a private security firm." "They hire thugs and Army dropouts." "They give them big guns, send them out to play soldier." "What are they doing in Kansas?" "Well, FEMA hired them to evacuate Rogue River, but now they're in business for themselves." "They stripped the town of all their supplies." " They killed police and civilians." " You've heard of these guys?" " They want to hit Jericho." " They were scouts, they wanna know if we're worth a visit." "We should fortify just in case." "Shore up our borders at the most vulnerable points." "I already ordered armed checkpoints on Cherry Valley Road and Route 66." " Checkpoints?" " Keep track of who's coming to town." "Mayor's sick, you were gone." "It shouldn't wait." "They'll probably come from the east across the Tacoma Bridge." "I think we should block it." "My farm is there and so is 30 other families." "Everyone from there will have to come into town." "It's not safe to stay there." "You want me to abandon my farm, Jake?" " You gotta be kidding." " Just for now, Stanley." "Bill, get some guys, collect some ammo." "What they're willing to part with, we'll stockpile." "I still have some explosives at the mine." "We'll take anything you got." "Morning, April." "I thought I could get Johnston to eat something." "No, it's better to let him sleep." "Let his body adjust to the meds." "Oh, okay." "Okay." "Are you ready for some more good news?" "Are you kidding?" "His blood pressure's stabilizing and the fever seems to be resolving." "I think he's gonna be okay." "Well, that calls for a real celebration." "Can I offer you some mashed black-eyed peas?" "Oh, none for me." "It hasn't been a particularly good morning, if you know what I mean." "Of course, could be the nerves as much as the pregnancy." "Nerves?" "You didn't tell Eric yet?" "Oh, he was just so exhausted last night." "And then he was up and gone before I had the chance." "Any idea where he went?" "No." "He and Jake were both gone when I came downstairs this morning." "Gail, do you think he'II?" "Well, the timing just seems so..." "You're talking about my first grandchild." "The timing couldn't be better." "Now tell him." "Get as many guys as you can." "There's a farm up the road with a couple of dead trucks, bring them back, we'll use them as barricade." "Got it." " You think that'll make a difference?" " It's better than nothing." "This isn't your first run-in with Ravenwood, is it?" "Why?" "You go off on your road trip, all of a sudden, they're headed for Jericho." "Would have thought you'd be more careful, is all." " You think I led them here?" " I'm trying to put the pieces together." "Let me make it easy for you." "My family lives in Jericho." " So does mine." " Everything I do, I do to protect them." "Same here." "Then let's stop screwing around and get it done." "What am I doing?" "Em, you in there?" "It's Heather." "Yeah, just a second." " Sorry to barge in." " Yeah, that's okay." "These are for you." "Closest thing I could find to a wedding bouquet." "Thanks." "I'm sorry." "Is this weird?" "You were supposed to get married today." "I figured I should do something special, you know, to acknowledge the day." "Maid of honor and all." "Just ignore me, okay?" "This is really sweet, what you did." "Have you got any plans for today?" "Besides not getting married?" "Because I kind of planned a whole day to keep you occupied." "I thought we'd start with a hike." "Nothing exotic." "Just a hike along the river." " I'm not gonna be great company." " Company's kind of the point." " Keep moping to a minimum." " I don't have a choice, do I?" "Not so much." "Let's go." "Good." "Okay, we're gonna need another car." "Put it here." "Let me guess." "This isn't your first run-in with these guys either, is it?" "There's only one thing I need to know from you, Jake." " What?" " Would you even know when you were in over your head?" " Hey, you're back." " Yeah, just for a second." "I gotta get this stuff to town hall." "Eric, wait." "I have something to tell you." "Okay." "Let's talk." "When I had the divorce papers drafted," "I did that because I couldn't see a future for us." "But now I can." " I can't." " What?" "Look, the last thing I wanna do on this earth is hurt you, April." "But I'm in love with someone else." "Who?" "Mary Bailey." "April." "Look, April." " April, I'm sorry..." " No, you don't get to do this." "You son of a bitch." " Trucks." " Get the trucks." " Hummers coming." " Go!" "They're coming." " They're here, man." "Go." "Go." " Go, go." "Okay, they're here." "They're here!" "Come on back." "Just run." "Come on." "Come on, hustle, go." " Come on, get into position." " Bring me three." "Keep it coming." "Keep coming." "Hustle up, get back here." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Come on, move, move." "Everybody, keep moving." "Check your positions, check your clips and safety's off." "Come on." "Remember what we talked about." "But nobody fires until I say so." "Everybody, remember to breathe." "The most important thing to do before squeezing the trigger is to breathe." "Okay?" "Somebody here want to talk to me?" "Whoever's in charge, this road needs to be cleared." "We're under government orders to collect supplies." "Breathe." "Cease fire!" "Cease fire!" "Hold your fire!" "Listen up." "We're here on government orders to collect supplies." "Your cooperation is mandatory." "Understood?" "Mandatory." "Damn." "When I get back here, this bridge better be cleared, or I'll clear it myself." "You got four hours." "Understood?" "Let's roll." "What the hell are we gonna do?" "There's no way we can hold this bridge." " We're gonna have to take it out." " I agree." "What are you saying?" "There can't be a bridge." "I struck gold with Mr. Adams." "He gave up all that ammo without a fight?" "Oh, he kept plenty." "The guy's rec room looks like the basement of the Alamo." " Where do you want this?" " In the gun locker." " Eric." " Why aren't you at the bridge?" "We need to talk." "No way." "We're not doing it." "Think about it." "With the bridge gone, we can't be overrun." "Until Ravenwood turns around, comes from another direction." "Not before they pass New Bern, or some other town." " Better them than us." " This will buy us time." "Then we focus our manpower and resources on securing the other roads." "I can't believe what I'm hearing." "If we destroy that bridge, it is gone forever." "Think we can do without it?" "What about the farms on the other side?" " Access to food for winter." " There's farms closer to town." "Okay, what about the homes you'll isolate?" " Jake, that means cutting off Stanley." " He'll have to come over." "Look, there has to be a better way." "Ravenwood is coming back right now." "We've got no time." "What do you suggest?" "We can get more men." "Pull them off the outposts if we have to." "Send more men out, you're gonna get more men killed." " Bill, lock up the explosives." " Now wait a minute..." "Listen, nothing happens to that bridge." "We can face them with whatever we can muster." " How can you...?" " The answer is no." "Okay, I'm just gonna go into Gracie's and get some trail mix, or, you know, shoe polish, dental floss, whatever's left." "Oh, and if the engine starts to shake, just slide over and gun the gas." "And keep your eye on the temperature." "If the needle hits the red, cut the gas, you've got about two seconds before it's about to explode, okay?" "Wait." "Why can't I just go in?" "Oh, no, no." "I don't want you to go through the trouble." "Right." "Hey, space cadet, what are you waiting for?" "Come on, let's go." "So this is it." "You ready?" "Why, don't I look ready?" "Well, you're definitely dressed for the occasion." "So, yeah, let's roll." "What are you waiting for, Em?" "Emily?" "Emily?" "Emily?" "Emily?" "Em." "Em, Em, turn it off." " Turn it off." " I'm sorry." "There was a truck with these guys with guns." "Yeah." "We're not hiking today." "Everybody's supposed to stay indoors." "Something's going on outside of town." "And all the roads are blocked." " Let's go home." " Home?" "Come on, they didn't say home." "They said indoors." "Heather, I..." "Hey, look, it's not the end of the world, right?" "Because that already happened." "What should we do?" "We're gonna proceed directly to phase two." " So I found two flare guns." " Good." "Then position a couple of guys maybe two miles out, give them the flare guns and tell them to send up a signal when they have Ravenwood in sight." "Gray, I'm gonna round up as much diesel and fertilizer as I can, and I'll meet you back at the bridge." "Is he making explosives?" "So you're blowing it anyway." "That's right." "Look, Jake, you got loyalty to your brother and your family, I get that." "You bow out, no one will blame you, but that bridge is coming down." "Where are you going?" "Someone's gotta tell those people who live out there to come over." " So this is phase two?" " Yep." "Did you guys hear about that thing at Tacoma Bridge?" "Yeah, why do you think we nixed the healthy portion of today's program?" "Keys, please." "I don't know what the plan is, but I don't know if it's such a good idea." "What exactly is the plan?" "This may be the last bottle of single-malt Scotch" "Kansas sees in a long time." "You just say the word, we open it." "But if we do, you're not leaving till it's finished." "So phase two is that we get completely obliterated." " More or less." " It works for me." "He's been here since this morning." "I felt bad for him." "It sounds like he's had a rough couple of weeks." "Ladies." "So, what do you say?" "I say what the hell." "That's my girl." " Who's on lookout for the flares?" " Stanley Brockmier." " You're blowing up the bridge?" " The Millers will be here in an hour, they got their old Nova working." "You can ride with them." " Here, go pack your bag." " No." "Don't argue with me." "Now, when that car gets here, you're gonna be in it." "Now go." " And what about you?" " I'm staying." "Don't be stupid, Stanley." "They're coming back." "Jake, I'll hold them off." "I did it before." "Look, it's not gonna be a couple of guys this time." "They left a pile of bodies in Rogue River." "You wanna wind up like that?" "Stanley, please don't get yourself killed for a house." "Hey, my grandfather built this house from the ground up." "And that room you've been sleeping in, that was my dad's room when he was a kid." "They put that in your audit file?" "I'm not about to give it up without a fight." "Look, if we had guardsmen, people who were trained, we could take a stand." "But we don't." "Once we blow that bridge, everyone who's on this side of it is on their own." "Okay, so go warn people." "You're wasting time here." "They're here." "Get your stuff." "I'm not leaving." "This is my home too." " Bonnie, it's not safe for you here." " I'm not afraid." " Bonnie, don't argue with me." " We'll be okay if we stay together." "Stanley." " She's not going?" " I can't force her." "You're risking her life." "And yours." " I don't get it, Stanley." " Because it's not your family." "Bonnie grew up in this house." "We both did." "This house is her only connection to a mother and father she barely even remembers." "That's funny." "I thought you were that connection." "Good luck." "Skoal." "This is your captain speaking, we are experiencing minor turbulence." " Are you okay?" " I am awesome." "Hey, you there, Mr. Dark and Intriguing, keep my friend company till I get back and there's a shot in it for you." "Your friend is spicy, huh?" "May I?" "So it's your birthday?" "No, I..." "No." "To privacy, then." "Pretty bad out there, isn't it?" "Poverty, murder, disease." "It's bloody miserable." "Sorry." "I am drunk, and I haven't slept in weeks." "Me too." " You sent everything out, right?" " The last boxes went out on the truck." "Bill?" "What's going on here?" " I'm sorry, Eric." " I got this, Bill." " Where the hell's the dynamite?" " A decision's been made," " we're blowing the bridge." " Who's we?" "Myself, Robert Hawkins, the deputies and your brother." " Hey." " I gotta talk to Dad." "No." "You will talk to me right now." " I don't have time." " April told me." "Look, Mom, I didn't mean for things to turn out this way." "Oh, really?" "How did you mean for things to turn out?" "You're the one who chose not to work on your marriage." "You chose to cheat on your wife." "I am trying to do the right thing." "I know it doesn't seem that way..." " What's going on?" " Johnston." "Dad, the mercenaries from Rogue River, they followed us back." "Now, we have a checkpoint at the Tacoma Bridge and I think we can defend it." "But there's this plan to destroy it, to cut off the town." "Gray Anderson?" "Yeah, he's up there right now wiring it." " Where are Jimmy and Bill?" " Out there helping Gray." " Dad, I'm alone on this one." " Get your brother and stop them." "Jake is with them too." "Then you stop them." "Whatever it takes, you stop them." " Dad..." " Whatever it takes." " How's it coming?" " Just a few wires left." "Hurry, guys." "All right, everybody." "Keep it moving." "We gotta keep up the pace." "We gotta keep moving." " We see that flare..." " I need to borrow your truck." "Please." "We don't have much time, folks." "All right, good." "Hold on to that." "Make sure the lines don't cross." "Keep the gold away from the blue." " Jake?" " Yeah." " Got it?" " Yeah, yeah." "Eric." "Here, run this to the trunk." "Dad wants this stopped." "Well, Dad doesn't have all the information." " It's still his call, Jake." " Well, he's not here to make it." "Eric?" "What are you doing?" " What are you doing?" " I'm putting an end to this." "We could see that flare any minute." "You'll be cut off." "You can't go out there, all right?" "Eric!" "Oh, my God." "That's the flare!" " See the flare, they're coming." " We got two minutes." " Ravenwood's coming!" " Run the trunk line." "Eric's out there." "There's no time, Jake." "Get everybody off the bridge." "Get as far away as you can." " What are you doing?" " Go!" "Go, now!" "Go!" "Come on, guys." "Come on." "Everybody, off the bridge." "Get as far away as you can." "We're gonna do it." "We're gonna blow it!" "Come on!" "Not bad this time." "So I had just started my practice, been in the country for about six months." "Where?" "Las Vegas." "Don't laugh, don't laugh." "It's a wonderful town." "It's really a wonderful place." "It's not quite so wonderful without water and electricity." "Practically threw myself at the Red Cross to get out." "A noble gesture designed to save my own ass." "You did what you had to do." "So they sent me to Kansas and here I am." "I really should be sitting by the pool surrounded by beautiful women." "Redheads, preferably." "And blondes." "Blondes too." "Yeah, and smoking a cigar, living the American dream." " I was supposed to be married today." " Really?" "I was gonna be right over there, feet kicked up, having a drink." " Emily." " Yeah?" " What do you wanna hear next?" " Same one." ""Polyester Bride" on endless loop?" "Are you being ironic on your wedding day, Emily Sullivan?" "No, because if I was being ironic, it would be Alanis." "And it's Emily Hammond in, like, 30 minutes." "Hey, hold on there." "We need extra hands, okay?" "Heather, there's no way I can leave with the bar this busy." "Can you hold the phone up during the wedding so I can hear?" "Got you programmed." "Okay, let's go." "Stanley, when are you getting dressed?" " After the game." " The wedding is in half an hour." "Overtime?" "Why?" "Here we go, ladies." "Champagne." "And for you." "Before we head over to the church," "I'd like to make a toast to the blushing bride and banker boy." "Banker man." "He's a banker, any way you slice it." "I mean, who here would have ever matched Roger with Emily?" " Talk about high-risk investment." " There's nothing risky about him." "Exactly." "To Emily and Roger." "May they live happily together in eternal blandness." "Never questioning their life, never looking too closely," "never wondering if they weren't meant for something else." "Down the hatch, everybody." "To the future." "Rest in peace." "What does he think he's doing?" "He's making a stand." "The bridge is wired." "You just parked over a couple of pounds of dynamite." "Turn your trucks around or I blow it." "We're on government orders to collect food and medicine for a refugee camp near the Rogue River." "The same government that ordered you to kill those people in the hospital?" "It's been a crazy few weeks." "A lot of confusion out there." "Just step aside, we'll take what we need and be on our way." "Go ahead." "Give the order." "If I go, you go." " Something funny?" " Yeah, this whole thing." "You're not gonna push that button." "Here's how it's gonna go." "You and your farmer buddies, you stand down, we get back in our vehicles, we drive into town, take what we need, never come back." "Nobody has to die." "Man down." "Man down." "You're gonna need a lot more snipers, pal." "Goetz, we got cars coming." "Get into position, now." " Is that Jonah Prowse?" " What the hell is he doing here?" "What's this town worth to you?" "You know, pretty soon things are gonna start to get back to normal." "The government will put itself back together and they'll be looking to help all of you get back on your feet." "And you know who they're gonna send?" "Me." "Let's go." "Next time to you want to destroy my route into town," "I'd appreciate a heads up." "You're welcome." "Really, don't mention it." "Can I make a suggestion?" "Start figuring out how to fight for yourselves." "If Eric hadn't come to get me, you'd all be burying Jake in a shoebox tomorrow." "On the target." "Okay." "So is this how it's going to be?" "Drunken days, lonely nights, disturbing visions of a dead fiancé?" " Are you?" " What?" " Dead?" " Would that make it easier?" "No." "I don't know." "I don't even know what your voice sounds like, it's been so long." "I should have been on the plane with you." "You never would have left this place." "Ever ask yourself why?" "Brother, mother gone." "No father to speak of." "What is it that keeps you so tied to Jericho?" "I don't know." "I think you do." "Em?" "You okay?" "What happens if they come back?" "We've got armed sentries posted." "And if it comes to it, the bridge is still wired." "I still say we take it out now." "Well, you're not calling the shots, Gray." " Yeah." " Exactly what we're gonna do." "I'm glad to see you up on your feet, Johnston." "Mayor." "Now, maybe one of you would like to tell me just exactly who you think is in charge here." "If we're hit from the other side, that bridge might be our only line of retreat." "Help is on the other side of that bridge." "Our people, the whole world, is on the other side of that bridge." "We destroy that bridge, we've already lost." "Everyone here wants this to happen." " Including your son." " No, not everyone." "You guys come up with a real plan to protect this town, you let me know." " Dad, I think you should..." " You, hold your tongue." "I'm the only one here who was elected." "I will not do this." "It is as simple as that." "Maybe it's time we let the people decide if they still want you making their decisions." "Stanley." "No, she can't." "She can't." "You're an idiot." "Yeah, she said it's fine with her." "Right." "I'll be outside." "I kind of put you in a bad position out there, huh?" "Gray used you, son." "I hope you see that." "Dad, you didn't see what those guys are capable of." " I'm not here to fight." " What are you here for?" "We need a security force." "A real one, trained." "Sanctioned by you." "This belonged to your grandfather." "He had it on him when he landed at D-Day." "When he had to take command of his platoon, that manual and his training got him from Omaha Beach and into Germany." "I remember the story." "Make sure you do it right." "I'm not coming home tonight." "I'll stop by tomorrow and pack some clothes." "Look, Mom, April..." "Will have a home with us as long as she wants one." "Thanks, Jimmy." " We did good today." " No." "No, we just got lucky." "Emily?" "Is everything all right?" "Yeah." "I saw Heather, she's pretty wasted." "Yeah." "I've been a little over-served myself." "I know what today is." "Mom, she still has the invitation on the fridge." "You know, we never talked about him." "About Roger." "What do you want to know?" "How did he propose?" "Cristal and caviar." "Beats the hell out of malt liquor in a video store parking lot." "We were teenagers." "What the hell did we know?" "Enough not to go through with it." "Why did you come back, Jake?" "Couldn't you have just stayed away?" "Are you sure that's what you wanted?" "What did you just say?" "Are you sure that's what you wanted?"
