PREVIOUSLY ON JEREMIAH...
JUST HEARD ON THE RADIO
THUNDER MOUNTAIN IS UNDER ATTACK.
THERE IS NO DANIEL.
HIS IMAGE, HIS VOICE, HIS HISTORY
WERE ALL CREATED BY OTHER PEOPLE.
I SUPPOSE YOU CAN PROVE THIS.
OF COURSE.
YOU CAN ASK TO SEE HIM.
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, I'VE FOUND
OVER A DOZEN EXAMPLES OF SABOTAGE.
WE'VE GOT TROUBLE OUTSIDE AND IN.
OUR FORCES ARE 10,000 STRONG, MARKUS.
HOW MANY WILL DIE ON THE DAY OUR TWO SIDES MEET?
THEY HAVE HEAT SEEKERS.
SHE SHOT ME.
I JUST FIRED BACK IN INSTINCT.
YOU KILLED HER.
SHE WAS WORKING FOR SIMS.
I OUGHT TO KILL YOU!
( KURDY ): HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE YOU FOR A WHILE.
PROBABLY NOT UNTIL SIMS IS DEAD.
YOU'RE THAT FELLOW THINKS HE GETS MESSAGES FROM GOD.
WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW, LITTLE MAN?
TELL THE GROUP CAPTAINS WE'LL MEET AT FOUR ROADS
AT DAWN, FRIDAY, AND WE'LL GO IN.
WE'VE GOT A WAR TO WIN.
( FRANK ): WITH EVERY PASSING HOUR,
MORE TROOPS ARRIVE IN MILHAVEN.
SO MANY OF THEM LOOK YOUNG, SCARED,
BUT WILLING TO FIGHT TO PROTECT WHAT THE ALLIANCE HAS BUILT...
AND KURDY IS THERE THROUGH IT ALL,
A CONSTANT FORCE OF NATURE,
WORKING WITH THE NEWCOMERS, ENCOURAGING THEM,
GETTING THEM FIRED UP FOR WHAT'S COMING.
AND JEREMIAH,
PREPARED TO DEFEND THE TOWN HE DIDN'T WANT TO RUN,
BUT WHICH I THINK, IN HIS WAY, HE'S COME TO LOVE.
OF THE THREE MEN WHO CAME FROM THE MOUNTAIN,
ONLY ONE IS STRANGELY ABSENT.
YOU SEEN SMITH?
NO, NOT SINCE LAST NIGHT.
DAMN.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE NOTHING.
I JUST HOPE HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.
SO YOU DIDN'T SEND HIM OUT ON SOME KIND OF MISSION?
NO, I DIDN'T. WHY?
BECAUSE HE SAID HE WAS LEAVING TO GO KILL SOMEBODY.
YOU'RE A LONG WAY FROM HOME.
I KNOW.
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 *
GIVEN THE SABOTAGE TO OUR TRUCKS, SUPPLIES, AND EQUIPMENT,
THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT DANIEL'S MANAGED
TO SLIP A FIFTH COLUMN OF ENEMY FORCES INSIDE.
IT'S POSSIBLE THEY CAME IN
WITH THE LAST BATCH OF RECRUITS.
IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT THEY COULD'VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG.
COULD BE ANYBODY.
IT'S ALL DESIGNED TO HELP MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE,
AND THE ONLY ADVANTAGE WE HAVE IS THAT I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW
WE'VE FIGURED OUT THEY'RE INSIDE.
YOU'RE EXHAUSTED. IT'S BEEN NEARLY TWO DAYS SINCE YOU'VE SLEPT.
YOU CAN'T RUN THINGS HERE IF YOU'RE NOT THINKING CLEARLY.
I'LL BE FINE.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, THE LOGICAL PLACE IS TO START IS WITH THE RECRUITS.
WORK OUR WAY OUT FROM THERE.
LEE, CHECK AROUND,
TALK TO ANYBODY THAT YOU CAN TRUST,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT
WITHOUT COMPROMISING WHAT WE KNOW.
THAT ADVANTAGE MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE WE'VE GOT.
SIR?
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE SECOND UNIT IS IN POSITION.
SECOND UNIT...
AH, YES.
IT WOULD APPEAR WE HAVE FOUR-WALLED THE OPPOSITION.
ONCE OUR FORWARD UNITS JOIN UP AT FOUR ROADS,
THERE ISN'T MUCH THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DO
TO STOP US.
THEY SHOULD'VE ACCEPTED YOUR OFFER TO SURRENDER
WHEN THEY HAD THE CHANCE, SIR.
SO IT WOULD SEEM.
DANIEL'S GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY
ABOUT HOW YOU'VE PULLED THIS OUT, SIR,
VERY HAPPY.
YOU, UM,
NEVER DID TELL ME WHAT MARKUS SAID
WHEN YOU GAVE HIM HIS LAST CHANCE, SIR.
( MARKUS ): DANIEL DOESN'T EXIST.
HIS IMAGE, HIS VOICE, HIS HISTORY
WAS ALL CREATED BY OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU'RE IN SERVICE TO A LIE.
HE SAID NO.
THE REST IS OF NO IMPORTANCE.
ANYTHING ELSE?
YES, SIR.
WE JUST FOUND OUT MOMENTS AGO, THAT, UM,
THEY'RE SENDING ONE OF THE FOUNDERS.
HE'S COMING HERE TO CHECK UP ON THINGS FOR HIMSELF, SIR.
A FOUNDER?
YES, SIR.
YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THE FOUNDERS IN PERSON BEFORE.
I'VE SEEN THE PICTURES,
HEARD THE STORIES
OF HOW THEY SURVIVED THE DEATH,
HOW THEY FOUND DANIEL, AND KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE THE ONE
TO LEAD THE WORLD INTO A NEW FUTURE,
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE WITH MY OWN EYES BEFORE.
HAVE YOU?
ON OCCASION.
BUT NOT DANIEL?
NO, NOT DANIEL.
YOU CAN GO NOW.
SO, KURDY, WHEN DO YOU FIGURE
THE BAD GUYS ARE GOING TO BE HERE?
WELL, WE'RE SETTING UP A PICKET LINE
ABOUT FOUR MILES FROM HERE,
BUT WE'RE SPREAD REALLY THIN, MAN.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE GUYS ARE COMING IN,
AND ACCORDING TO MARKUS,
WE SHOULD BE MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY
WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS.
OOH, THAT'S NOT A LOT OF TIME.
NO, IT'S NOT.
YOU READY?
AS READY AS WE CAN BE, FRANK.
GINA SAID YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ME.
LOOK, MILHAVEN'S PRETTY SAFE, KURDY.
YOU'VE SEEN TO THAT.
YOU DON'T NEED ME AROUND HERE ANY MORE.
YOU RUN THIS PLACE, JEREMIAH.
THERE'S NOT REALLY MUCH TO RUN RIGHT NOW.
THE TOWN'S PRETTY BUTTONED UP.
I'M TRYING TO STAY OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE.
BESIDES, GINA'S HERE.
THEY LIKE HER BETTER THAN THEY LIKE ME, ANYWAY.
WELL, SHE GOT THAT WHOLE FASHION THING GOING.
YEAH, A WOMAN IN UNIFORM.
WHERE'RE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING AFTER SIMS.
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?
NOPE,
BUT I KNOW HE'S MOVING WEST,
SO THAT MEANS HIS ARMY IS SOMEWHERE EAST OF HERE.
I'M TAKING FIVE GUYS.
WE'RE GOING TO GO, GOING TO LOOK AROUND,
ANY SIGN OF SIMS.
A GUY TRAVELS WITH AN ARMY THAT BIG,
SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD TO FIND.
YOU KNOW YOU'LL NEVER GET IN THERE, RIGHT?
THEY'LL BE WATCHING.
YEAH, FOR AN ARMY.
I'M TAKING FIVE GUYS.
IF YOU CUT THE HEAD OFF, THE BODY DIES.
I'M GOING TO CUT THE HEAD OFF.
YOU EVER READ MUCH MYTHOLOGY?
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE HYDRA?
YOU CUT OFF ONE HEAD, IT'LL GROW ANOTHER.
NO, I NEVER READ THAT.
HOPEFULLY THEY HAVEN'T EITHER.
LOOK, KURDY, I GOT TO DO THIS,
OKAY?
AND I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE ON DEFENSE.
NOW, IF THIS THING GOES BAD,
IF I DON'T FIND HIM, IF THEY FIND ME...
I'M TRUSTING THIS WHOLE TOWN TO YOU, MAN.
HEY...
WHAT?
HOW DID WE GET INTO ALL THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
YOU TIED ME UP.
YOU STOLE MY FISH.
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.
MAYBE NOT,
BUT IN THIS CASE,
MAYBE IT WILL.
I'LL BE SEEING YOU.
( FRANK ): AS THE ENEMY FORCES CLOSE IN TOWARD US,
THE ALLIANCE FORCES CONTINUE TO MOVE OUT
AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE.
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR
HAS COME DOWN TO THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS.
GUYS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SIT HERE
AND WAIT FOR THE ENEMY TO COME TO US.
IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO HIM.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW
IS TO FIND SIMS.
HE'S THE GUY IN CHARGE OF DANIEL'S ARMY.
WE GET HIM,
IT HURTS THE OTHER SIDE IN A BIG WAY.
I--I DON'T KNOW IF IT'LL STOP 'EM,
BUT IT'LL SURE AS HELL RUIN THEIR DAY.
SO STAY IN RADIO CONTACT.
YOU LET ME KNOW THE MINUTE YOU HEAR ANYTHING.
DON'T DO ANYTHING YOURSELF.
DO NOT GO AFTER HIM.
THE SON OF A BITCH IS MINE.
ONE MORE THING.
WE THINK SMITH MAY HAVE JUMPED THE GUN ON THIS,
SO IF YOU SEE HIM, OR YOU HEAR ANYTHING FROM HIM,
YOU LET ME KNOW.
( FRANK ): THE ODDS ARE AGAINST THE ALLIANCE,
A NEWBORN ARMY AGAINST A HONED AND SEASONED FORCE.
IT WOULD SEEM AN IMPOSSIBLE ENDEAVOR...
BARRING A MIRACLE.
YOU'RE AWAKE.
WHERE...
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN HERE?
JUST SINCE LAST NIGHT.
I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I HAVE TO GET TO MILHAVEN.
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I KNOW WHEN THE ATTACK IS COMING.
I KNOW WHERE SIMS IS GOING TO BE.
THEIR WHOLE PLAN, IT DEPENDS ON SURPRISE,
KEEPING OUR FORCES DIVIDED SO WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL ATTACK,
BUT IF I CAN GET A MESSAGE TO KURDY,
THEN WE CAN WIN.
THE SOLDIERS I ASKED FOR, TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PLACE, ARE THEY HERE?
JUST UP THE ROAD.
WELL, FIND ONE OF THEM. THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE A RADIO.
HANNAH, PLEASE.
UM, YOU HAVEN'T ASKED HOW YOUR DAUGHTER IS DOING.
I DON'T HAVE TO.
I GET REPORTS ON HER EVERY DAY, WHEREVER I AM.
MY PART OF THE DEAL.
I WANT TO SEE HER AS SOON AS I CAN, BUT...
I DON'T WANT HER TO SEE ME LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, IT'D PROBABLY SCARE HER AS MUCH AS IT DOES ME.
HURRY, PLEASE?
( BANGING )
KURDY?
I MEAN, SIR?
YEAH?
I WAS JUST GOING TO-- WHERE'S JEREMIAH?
OUT FOR A WALK. WHAT'S UP?
WELL, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE THIS.
IT JUST CAME IN FROM ONE OF OUR SQUADS ON THE BORDER.
IT'S FROM SMITH.
"FOUR ROADS, SUNDOWN, FRIDAY."
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE COMING IN.
YEP.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE COMING IN.
YEAH.
DAMN... WE'VE GOT A CHANCE.
WE GOT A CHANCE!
MARKUS?
MARKUS...
I'VE GOT CAKE.
THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE JUST SHOWED UP,
AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PARK.
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU,
SINCE THE FIRST DAY I GOT HERE.
I NEVER SAID ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS RELIED ON ME,
BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS SAID
YOU WEREN'T THE ROMANTIC TYPE,
AND THEN THERE WAS MEAGHAN.
YOU WERE FAITHFUL TO A WOMAN YOU COULDN'T EVEN TOUCH
FOR 15 YEARS.
GO AHEAD, TELL ME AGAIN
YOU'RE NOT THE ROMANTIC TYPE...
SO I COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN SHE WAS HERE,
AND I COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING AFTER SHE WAS GONE, BECAUSE...
WELL, IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT, AND NOW...
AND NOW IT'S STILL DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.
I HAVE THIS FEELING IN MY HEART
THAT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
I KNOW NOTHING WILL HAPPEN BETWEEN US,
BECAUSE...
SOME THINGS AREN'T MEANT TO BE, I GUESS.
BUT I'LL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU, RIGHT TO THE END.
YEAH?
HEY, I GOT SOME NEWS.
WE FOUND OUT WHERE SIMS IS GOING TO ATTACK.
THEY'RE COMING IN AT FOUR ROADS.
YOU KNOW THE AREA?
YEAH, I DO.
YOU WANT SIMS, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE.
MAYBE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MAYBE?
WELL, THE WHOLE PLACE IS--IS--
IT'S A FLAT PLAIN. YOU KNOW, A GUY LIKE SIMS,
HE'S GOING TO WANT TO SEE THE BATTLEFIELD.
HE'LL PROBABLY BE SOMEPLACE HIGH.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
NO, I DON'T.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I'M GOING TO SEND BACK ALL THE SCOUTS
BUT TWO OF THEM, HAVE THEM SCOPE OUT THE AREA, IN CASE I'M WRONG.
AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE DURING ALL THIS?
SOMEPLACE HIGH.
LOOK, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
JUST TAKING INVENTORY.
DOUBLE-CHECKING OUR RESOURCES
SO WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.
I'VE GONE OVER EVERYTHING.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING OVER IT.
IF EVERYTHING'S IN ORDER AS IT SHOULD BE, THEN WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM--
SIR?
WHAT'S UP?
WELL, ACCORDING TO INVENTORY,
THIS CRATE IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD 20 RIFFLES,
BUT I ONLY COUNT 10,
AND THERE'S ANOTHER 15 MISSING
FROM THAT ONE OVER THERE.
HOLD UP, HOLD UP!
CONGRATULATIONS.
WE JUST TURNED OVER OUR FIRST ROCK.
WE NEED TO GET HIM TO DETENTION.
I'LL TELL MARKUS THE GOOD NEWS.
COME ON.
THAT'S GREAT. DID YOU TELL ERIN YET?
GOOD.
NO, I'LL BE THERE WHEN I CAN.
GOOD CATCH, LEE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT.
( KNOCKING )
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
I HAVE TO.
THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
FOR THE BETTER OR FOR THE WORSE?
I DON'T KNOW...
THE VOICE IS SILENT.
IT'S LIKE THE FUTURE'S WAITING TO BE BORN TONIGHT,
AND THE VOICE DOESN'T WANT TO NAME IT
UNTIL WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO LIVE.
OR IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE.
DON'T LEAVE A SILENCE BEHIND THAT YOU WILL REGRET.
DADDY!
HI, HONEY.
HEY...
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?
OH, IT'S MAKEUP.
I PUT IT ON FOR A JOKE,
BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SISTER HANNAH LAUGH.
YOUR NOSE IS ON SIDEWAYS.
WELL, UH...
IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET IT LIKE THAT.
WE BETTER NOT TOUCH IT.
NOW, TELL ME SOMETHING, HAVE YOU BEEN A GOOD GIRL?
TODAY WE LEARNED CALCULUS, AND THE CAPITAL OF PERU,
AND I MADE A CLAY PONY.
WOW...
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR CLAY PONY
WHEN I GET BACK.
I LOVE YOU, ROSE.
DADDY?
WHAT?
THE VOICE SAYS TO NOT BE AFRAID.
SO I NEED YOU TO GIVE WORD TO EVERY ONE OF OUR TEAMS,
LET THEM KNOW WHERE THE ATTACK'S COMING IN
RIGHT HERE, AT FOUR ROADS.
ALL THE CARS ARE GASSED UP.
I NEED YOU TO FLY.
WE'VE ONLY GOT 10 HOURS
TO GET ALL OUR PEOPLE IN POSITION.
SO HIT IT.
WE'RE TALKING 5,000 PEOPLE,
ALL COMING IN FROM DIFFERENT AREAS IN A 30-MILE RADIUS.
YOU THINK YOU CAN GET EVERYONE THERE
IN TIME FOR THIS THING, KURDY?
I'M SURE AS HELL GOING TO TRY.
( SWING JAZZ BALLAD PLAYING )
HI.
HI. I WAS JUST ADMIRING THE, UH...
YOU LOOK LOVELY.
THANKS.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
MY MOTHER ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT HOW SHE'D THROW PARTIES
WHEN THINGS SEEMED TO BE AT THEIR WORST.
I GUESS SOMEHOW IT MADE THINGS SEEM NOT SO BAD.
I INVITED LEE, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'S COMING.
YEAH, IT'S... NOT REALLY HIS THING.
NO.
I LIKE THE SUIT.
UH, THANKS.
I WENT THROUGH ALL THE OLD BOXES.
IT WAS EITHER THIS OR A REAL TUX WHICH WAS TWO SIZES TOO BIG,
AND THE SLEEVES WERE DOWN TO HERE.
I LOOKED LIKE SOME KIND OF DEMENTED PENGUIN.
MY MOTHER'S FAVORITE MUSIC.
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE
TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
AND I FIGURED I SHOULD TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY,
BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, AND IN CASE--
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
I'M SORRY.
I REALIZED I JUST SAID THAT.
THANKS.
YOU STILL LOOK GREAT.
UH, NOT TOO PENGUIN-Y?
NOT AT ALL.
WELL, UH, SHALL WE?
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
SABOTAGE, MISSING WEAPONS,
THAT LITTLE SCUFFLE,
AND YOU'RE JUST INNOCENT IN ALL THIS.
FREAKIN' A.
WELL, THEN LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.
WE KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE WORKING FOR DANIEL
HAVE SLIPPED INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN,
AND WE KNOW YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.
YOU DON'T KNOW SQUAT.
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, SAY IT,
OTHERWISE LET ME GO.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT!
YOU WIN.
WHOA, WHOA, WAIT--
UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY LAWS IN HERE
ARE THE ONES WE BUILT OURSELVES.
ALL RIGHT.
SO IF THIS PLACE FALLS,
WELL, THE LAWS FALL WITH IT.
NOW, TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
WHO ARE YOUR ASSOCIATES, HOW WELL ARMED ARE THEY,
AND WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!
OF COURSE I CAN.
NOW, LET'S TALK, OKAY?
I KNOW THIS SONG.
THEY USED TO HAVE DANCES AT THE BASE MY FATHER WAS STATIONED AT
IN GERMANY.
FIRST TIME I EVER DANCED WAS TO THIS SONG.
I WASN'T VERY GOOD AT IT, BUT--
BUT?
BUT IT WAS AWFUL.
I JUST...
LET'S FIND OUT.
OH, NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO, NO, I CAN'T. I, UH--
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
YOU ALREADY SAID YOU WERE AWFUL.
HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT GET?
A LOT.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?
JUST TAKING A MENTAL PICTURE.
FILING IT AWAY.
WHY?
JUST BECAUSE.
ERIN?
YEAH?
I WASN'T ASLEEP.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
SOME THINGS AREN'T MEANT TO BE...
AND SOME THINGS AREN'T MEANT TO BE RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
WHAT ABOUT LATER?
THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE,
AND HOPE HAS A WAY OF COMING FROM THE MOST UNEXPECTED PLACES.
I LIKE THE DECOR.
IT'S COMFORTABLE.
( ** )
YOU'RE A LONG WAY FROM HOME.
DANIEL WANTED ME TO CONVEY HIS PERSONAL CONGRATULATIONS
ON ALL YOUR HARD WORK,
AND BRING BACK A FIRST-HAND ASSESSMENT
OF YOUR SITUATION HERE.
THE ALLIANCE IS GOING TO FALL.
YOU SEEM AWFULLY CONFIDENT.
JUST STATING THE FACTS.
GOOD.
DANIEL WILL BE MOST PLEASED.
WILL HE?
OF COURSE.
GOOD, GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.
PERHAPS WHEN I COME BACK,
I COULD HAVE A MOMENT OF HIS TIME.
AFTER ALL, LEADING HIS ARMIES TO VICTORY,
DEFEATING HIS ENEMIES,
REMOVING A PEBBLE FROM HIS SHOE...
THAT WOULD MERIT A MORE PERSONAL RESPONSE
THAN THE REGULAR WRITTEN COMMUNIQUES, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?
OH, I'M SURE SOMETHING CAN BE ARRANGED.
CAN IT?
OF COURSE. AS ONE OF THE INNER CIRCLE, I HAVE THE POWER TO--
DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S KEPT ME ALIVE ALL THESE YEARS?
A STUBBORN HEART,
AND AN EYE THAT KNOWS WHEN PEOPLE ARE LYING TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY,
"THERE'S NO DANIEL,"
THAT HE'S A FICTION, CREATED BY, WELL...
CREATED BY PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF.
WHOEVER TOLD YOU THAT IS LYING.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
BUT THE THING OF IT IS...
WHY TELL A LIE THAT COULD BE SO EASILY DISPROVEN?
IF IT IS A LIE, IT'S A BIG, FAT, STUPID LIE
THAT WOULDN'T DO OUR OPPONENT ANY GOOD,
AND NO MATTER WHAT WE MIGHT THINK OF THE OTHER SIDE,
THEY'RE NOT STUPID.
NEITHER AM I.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS--
DOES...
DANIEL...
EXIST?
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE HE DOES.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, SIR?
NO, JOHN.
SOMEONE JUST LIED TO ME.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
NOTHING...
FOR THE MOMENT.
DANIEL SAYS KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
IT IS INDEED.
( DOOR OPENING )
LEE, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
I FOUND OUT WHERE OUR FIFTH COLUMNISTS
ARE PLANNING ON MAKING THEIR FIRST MOVE.
HOW?
THE ART OF GENTLE PERSUASION.
NO SIGN OF SIMS YET.
BE CAREFUL, WE GOT MOVEMENT.
NOW WE WAIT
AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THINGS OUTSIDE,
OR IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG DAMN WAIT.
SIR?
WE'VE MADE CONTACT WITH THE OTHER GROUP LEADERS.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY HERE.
GOOD.
AS SOON AS WE KNOW EVERYONE'S IN PLACE,
WE MOVE IN.
PASS THE WORD ALONG...
TROUBLE BEGINS AT DAWN.
YES, SIR.
( ** )
( GINA ): SURVEY ONE TO LEADER,
YOU THERE?
YEAH.
ARE YOU THERE YET?
I'M NOT TOO SURE.
CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER IN THE TRUCK, THOUGH.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET OUT AND GO ON FOOT.
YOU FOUND THEM?
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE.
I SMELL SMOKE.
THEY'D HAVE TO BE PRETTY STUPID OR PRETTY CONFIDENT
TO BUILD A FIRE THIS CLOSE TO WHERE THE BATTLE'S GOING TO START.
COULD BE AN ADVANCE GROUP, THOUGH,
SOME KIND OF RECON THING OR SOMETHING.
I'M GOING TO GO IN, HAVE A LOOK.
IF I DON'T MAKE IT BACK, TELL KURDY WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
IF I DON'T MAKE IT BACK,
IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I'M DEAD.
OH...
I DIDN'T MEAN TO SOUND INSENSITIVE, SIR.
IT'S JUST WITH THE BATTLE LOOMING,
I'M KIND OF ON EDGE, YOU KNOW?
SIR?
SIR!
JEREMIAH...
I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE BEFORE.
YOU'VE BEEN TAKING MY NAME IN VAIN
QUITE A BIT LATELY.
LIKE THEY SAY, SPEAK THE DEVIL'S NAME, HE SHALL APPEAR.
YOUR TIN-PLATED EXCUSE FOR A LEADER
SHOULD HAVE ACCEPTED OUR GENEROUS OFFER
WHILE HE STILL COULD.
WELL, AT LEAST HE'S REAL.
EVERYTHING YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR IS MAKE-BELIEVE.
YOU MEAN DANIEL?
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE'S REAL OR NOT.
IF HE'S NOT REAL,
ALL THE BETTER FOR ME.
AT LEAST I CAN GO BACK
AND SET MYSELF UP
AS THE ONE PULLING THE STRINGS.
COME ON, YOU SON OF A FISH...
I GOT A WAR TO WIN!
( GUN COCKING )
SIR?
YES?
WE JUST FOUND SOMEBODY OUTSIDE.
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO MEET HIM BEFORE WE SHOOT HIM.
CERTAINLY.
WELL...
I BELIEVE THIS IS JEREMIAH.
YOU'VE MADE QUITE A CATCH.
DANIEL WILL BE MOST PROUD.
WILL HE?
THESE ARE THE MEN
WHO ARE ABOUT TO LEAD OUR FORCES INTO BATTLE
ALL FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF SOMEONE
WHO, IT TURNS OUT, MAY NOT EVEN EXIST.
TELL THEM THE TRUTH.
TELL THEM WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO DIE FOR.
TELL THEM THE LIE.
TELL THEM!
I'D TELL THEM, IF I WERE YOU.
HOLD! HOLD!
LET'S GO BACK.
WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?
SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.
HANG ON.
NOBODY MOVE UNTIL WE GET THE ORDER.
OH, JEEZ.
OH, MAN.
I'LL GET YOU A MEDIC.
IT'S NOT THAT BAD, FRANK.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND KURDY.
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D SHOW UP.
I WAS WONDERING THE SAME ABOUT YOU.
YOU LOOK BAD.
SO DO YOU.
I TOOK CARE OF SIMS.
I'M SORRY.
JEREMIAH...
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW.
IF YOU TRY TO HUG ME, I WILL GET A GUN
AND SHOOT YOU WHERE YOU STAND.
ROGER THAT.
SO...
YOU MADE IT.
I TOLD YOU I'D BE SEEING YOU.
WELL, I HEARD YOU TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS.
YEAH.
LOOK, WITH SIMS OUT OF THE WAY,
PEOPLE AREN'T EXACTLY SURE
WHAT IT IS THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR ANYMORE.
THEY TURNED ME LOOSE SO THEY CAN FIGURE OUT
WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A WAR OR NOT,
AND WHILE THEY'RE DOING THAT,
THEY DON'T NEED ANYBODY FROM EITHER SIDE
DOING ANYTHING STUPID TO START IT.
SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
THE ENEMY'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT HILL,
AND THEY'RE WONDERING WHAT THE HELL TO DO NOW.
I SAY WE GO TALK TO THEM.
TALK TO THEM?
WE'VE GOT TO START SOMEPLACE.
AND IF THEY START SHOOTING?
WE'LL SHOOT BACK.
THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR BULLETS, MY MAN.
YOU READY?
I AM.
KURDY?
ANYTHING TO SAY FOR POSTERITY?
NO, MAN.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS WHAT'S BEING DONE.
YOU JUST WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU SEE, FRANK.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE TODAY.
THERE'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD BEING BORN
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT HILL.
HISTORY'S ALWAYS BEEN WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
HOPEFULLY, UNTIL NOW...
MAYBE WE'LL BE SMARTER.
MAYBE WE'LL FINALLY GET THIS THING RIGHT.
EITHER WAY,
I WANT TO SEE WHERE THIS BOOK IS GOING.
( JEREMIAH ): WHEN I WAS A KID, I REMEMBER MY DAD SAYING
THAT ONE MAN COULD CHANGE THE WORLD.
AT THE TIME HE SAID IT, I BELIEVED IT,
BUT IN THE YEARS AFTER THE BIG DEATH,
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, I JUST STOPPED BELIEVING.
( KURDY ): IF ONE GUY WITH A BULLET
COULD CHANGE THE WORLD
IN THE SCHOOL DEPOSITORY IN DALLAS
OR IN A HOTEL IN LOS ANGELES, OR MEMPHIS,
HOW MUCH MORE COULD ONE PERSON WITH AN IDEA,
THE RIGHT IDEA,
CHANGE THE WORLD?
( SMITH ): TODAY, THIS DAY, THE WORLD WOULD CHANGE FOREVER.
NOT BECAUSE OF THE CLASH OF ARMIES,
NOT IN THE CURRENCY OF BOMB BLASTS OR BODY COUNTS,
BUT THROUGH THE PROPER APPLICATION
OF THE ONLY FORCE THAT MATTERS,
THE ONLY POWER THAT EVEN GOD RESPECTS--
THE TRUTH.
