Jericho (2006) s01e20 Episode Script

Previously on Jericho: We're United States Marines, we're here to help.
- Lance Corporal Mullin.
- Jake.
Maggie.
They've got somebody on the edge of town pretending to be headquarters.
- Is any of this real? - The gun's real.
Hands up.
Get them up! You're a smart girl.
You need to get out before these guys get you killed.
- And go where? - Johnston, you SOB, how the hell did you lose an election? No, the question is, how did you get to be in charge in New Bern? They get tired of you being the sheriff? No, I'm still the sheriff.
Just got a little more authority.
This thing work? Can you get power from it? - Probably sometime tomorrow.
- Then let's get it up as fast as we can.
Can we buy more of these things? We got one of the only salt mines around for 400 miles.
We're gonna need food.
Ten wind turbines for, let's say, Okay.
Look, we'll give you the food.
We're gonna need 10 Jericho men to help us build them.
What you are about to do means this town's survival.
All right, let's move out.
If anything happens to any of them, you're the first one I come for.
I didn't know you guys were coming back today.
It wasn't safe for us anymore.
- Where's my brother? - I know he hasn't been seen for days.
You can't just ride into New Bern and start breaking china.
It's a full inventory of Jericho.
Slices it up like they own it.
They're making mortar rounds.
They're getting ready for war.
Hold it.
Eric.
Get way back there.
- Get back.
- You guys made a deal.
This doesn't look good.
It could turn into a full-blown riot.
If our guys show up, you keep them back out of sight.
I don't want these New Bern guys getting trigger-happy.
- Right.
- This salt mine is private property.
You have 30 seconds to get the hell out of here.
We're not leaving.
Hawkins? - What did I tell you, Ted? - Sorry.
I knew it was you.
Yeah, but if it wasn't me, you just gave up my name.
I want you to tell me who your friend is and where I can find him.
Things are gonna get very bad for you and your brother if you don't help us, Jake.
- Why would I wanna help you? - This is what I know.
Is that you, your friend and your brother were caught attempting to sabotage this town's sole means of manufactur Manufacturing weapons.
You are manu So I'm going to repeat the question.
Where is your friend? Why don't you tell me what happened to Heather Lisinski? - Take him back.
- Let's go, boy.
Word's gonna get back.
It's gonna get back to Jericho about what you're doing.
And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Looks like they went easy on you.
- For now.
They haven't found Hawkins yet.
We're gonna get out of here.
How many people have to die before you don't care anymore? April's death was not your fault.
We can't even be sure Heather's dead with the lies they're spreading.
I've seen, Jake.
I don't think I can go back.
Staying here and getting yourself killed isn't gonna make you feel any better, trust me.
Remember the time I was supposed to wake you up for that meteor shower? No.
Yeah, it was supposed to be this once-in-a-lifetime thing.
Anyway, you were so pissed at me because I finally gave up and let you sleep.
Well, I'm not giving up this time.
- I should arrest you right here.
- This is not his fault.
We had a deal with him and New Bern.
Gray, what the hell is this? There's no deal.
I'm not giving away anything.
Listen, we'll think of something.
We need to stand down.
No, we're not leaving without our salt.
- It's not worth people getting hurt.
- She's right.
- All right, everybody.
- What are you doing? I'm not gonna let people killed over this.
- This was your idea.
- This is over.
- Get your guys out of here.
- Hey Down! How many more are there? I'm not sure.
Six, maybe seven.
We need gurneys.
What happened? Guys from New Bern showed up trying to steal our salt.
- There was a shootout.
- Oh, my God.
Okay, Harry.
Harry, we're gonna get you cleaned up, buddy, okay? All right, you need me to look at your arm? - It's okay, I can wait.
- All right.
We shouldn't be patching those guys up, we should be arresting them.
- They opened fire on us.
- We don't know who shot first.
I'll get to an investigation.
Right now, we need to make sure people don't die.
Oh, my God.
Get him to Kenchy, now.
Right away.
Can we get some ice? She twisted her ankle.
- I'm fine.
- Hang on.
Hold on, Harry.
Hey, Mrs.
Carmichael, is he gonna be all right? No, he's not gonna be all right.
I didn't want this to happen.
Why should we expect anything different? As long as you and your boyfriend are set, the rest of us can go to hell.
Wouldn't your father be proud? What is that supposed to mean? Okay, look, she's just nervous.
Caroline, take a look at her ankle, will you? - Sure.
- Don't worry about it.
Gail, we heard about the shooting.
- Here, I brought the antiseptic.
- Thank you.
What can we do? We're gonna need charts on everybody who checked in.
Annie, show her how to fill one out, will you? - What this gonna mean for Eric? - I don't know.
But have we heard anything? Let me know.
I told you, I don't know.
Johnston's working on it.
Now, what I could use is a roll of gauze and some bandages.
They're on the cart next to the ultrasound.
Okay, I don't know what that looks like.
Never mind.
I'll do it myself.
- help here.
Here we go.
Who's next? What the hell did you think was gonna happen? You didn't have to bring Rangers in.
I was protect What? I'm afraid we've had our first fatality.
One of your guys from New Bern.
Dawson.
I didn't get the first name.
Jim Dawson.
Okay.
You have got to let me go back to New Bern and tell them that you support this salt mine deal.
No, that's not happening.
If they so much as think you fired the first shot Who fired? What? Come on, Gray, we need to work together while we still can.
Things are bad in New Bern.
And when they find out that six of us came here and only five are coming back What are you saying, Russell? You've got people there.
You should bring them home.
Eric.
Eric's still there.
Johnston, you need to know something.
Eric hasn't been seen for a few days.
And yesterday, Jake went back to try and find You're telling me this now? All right, we leave now, we can get there before dawn.
- No, no, no, I'm not authorizing - Did you hear him? Constantino wants a bigger fight.
He's not gonna have my sons as human shields.
Let's go.
Maggie? Maggie.
Of all the jail cells, right? I hardly recognized you without your wardrobe.
What happened, you guys get caught? Kind of hard to pull that off without the tank.
We pretty much split up after Jericho.
I came to New Bern with a couple of the guys, but we got turned away at the border a few weeks ago.
I was dumb enough to try and sneak back in.
Why? This place is hell.
It's worse out there.
- Really? That's hard to imagine.
- Yeah.
I heard you two got dragged in front of the town hall.
I don't wanna scare you, but you gotta get out of here.
That isn't exactly easy.
You could do it if you got someone outside.
Why? Do you? Know someone outside? I'm just trying to help.
Last time you tried to help, you nearly wiped out my town's supplies.
- I was trying to survive.
- Yeah, so were we.
Look, I'm not saying it was right.
We had something people wanted and we used it.
That's how it works.
You think you're helpless in here? You're not.
Not if you have something they want.
What makes you think I have something they want? I don't think they're beating the two of you up for fun.
Even if I did have something, I wouldn't give it to them.
You're right, you shouldn't.
But I could.
Yeah, right.
No, thanks.
Listen, if you talk, they're gonna throw you back in your cell.
There's no way they're letting either of you go.
But if I had the information, I could trade it for my freedom.
And I can go get help.
What? Give myself up to get you out? So I can get all three of us out.
And you can take me back to Jericho.
I can't go anywhere without you.
Let's go.
- What are you doing? - Get up.
Hey, where are you taking him? He's already told you everything he knows.
Eric? Eric.
How are things here? Harry's gonna be okay.
But I'm worried about the staff.
- Everybody's exhausted.
- Yeah.
You sure you're okay to drive? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Better hit the road.
Be careful.
If I lose all three of you, I swear to God I'm gonna bring them home.
Now, you get some sleep.
Gotta go.
Eric? What's going on? What are you doing to him? Jake.
Jake, just give me a chance, please.
We can end this.
Okay.
Okay.
His name is Robert Hawkins.
He said he's probably in a hunting cabin owned by a guy named Ted Lewis, he works at the factory.
I know where it is.
I'll go over there.
- You're supposed to take me with you.
- What? That's That's the deal I made with Constantino.
I go with you, and as soon as you see the guys there, you drop me off at the checkpoint.
Just talk to Constantino.
This is He was supposed to be here.
Take her with you.
If he's not there, kill her.
This is Johnston Green from Jericho.
We need to talk to the sheriff.
He's up at the cabin.
We have orders he's not to be interrupted.
He'll wanna be interrupted for this.
Not exactly Mayberry, is it? Not since Ravenwood.
How are you with a rifle? I've hunted jackrabbits before.
Well, I've never shot a person, if that's what you're asking.
We need to go back to the factory.
We need mortars.
What? For what? We can't launch them over that fence.
Oh, we're not gonna launch them from here.
Phil, nice spread you got here.
I always wanted you to see this place.
Well, I just wish it were under better circumstances.
I just found out Eric's been missing a couple days.
Like a little update on that.
And there was an incident at the salt mine.
Some of our people got hurt.
Let's take a walk.
Go around back.
I got the front.
You watch her.
Let's go.
You better hope he's home.
This mine deal, this is your idea? I thought it could help the town.
Create a partnership.
That didn't quite work out, did it? Well, it was mishandled all the way around.
We were hoping we could reach some agreement.
It's a little late.
You opened fire on our citizens.
We don't know who shot first.
A bunch of guys shows up with guns in the night trying to take our salt.
What would you have done? Jericho's continuous acts of aggression against this town are unjustif What "continuous acts"? We're neighbors, for God's sake.
Didn't hear talk of neighbors when you sent Ravenwood to our door.
We almost blew everything to hell and gone trying to defend ourselves against those mercenaries.
We had no idea where they were headed next.
Couldn't try and warn us? You couldn't help us when they were raiding what little we had, shooting whoever got in their way? My deputies.
My friends.
Then I find both of your sons, both of them, in my factory, trying to destroy the last form of capital this town's got.
Slow down.
Jake was apprehended yesterday attempting to sabotage my factory.
That makes no sense.
The factory's producing wind turbines.
Your sons are pretty bent on the idea.
I caught Eric the day before trying to do the same thing.
We're holding both of them.
You listen to me.
I don't care what you think we've done to you.
But if any harm comes to either of those boys, this is not gonna end well.
Little chance of this ending well for some time.
I wanna see my boys.
Now.
What the hell's taking him so long? - Who are you? - Don't shoot.
- Who are you? - I'm with Jake.
I'm with Jake.
Columbus, Columbus.
- What did you say? - Columbus, Columbus.
He said if I said, "Columbus," you'd know he sent me.
I was with him in prison.
He sent me to help you.
He sent me to help you.
Columbus, Columbus.
Okay, okay, I got it.
How's Jake? - He's okay.
- Yeah? That's Ted.
He's with me.
I'm Maggie.
Jake sent me.
Where are the cops? They've been dealt with.
Yeah.
You don't wanna go in there.
Here, this is everything.
So, what's the plan? The plan? There is gonna be an explosion in town.
Hopefully, it'll cause enough chaos that we can somehow get Jake and Eric out of there.
I think I can help you do that.
I have an in with Constantino.
Get up.
Come on, get up.
What the hell happened? I didn't tell them anything.
- Maggie gave them Hawkins.
- It's not about Hawkins.
They wanna know about Jericho.
What our defenses are like.
Do we have any troops? Where are they posted? Do we have a stockpile of weapons? We have to get back.
We have to warn them.
We will.
We're not gonna die in here.
Hey, I'm taking off.
Okay.
Thanks for all of your help.
Yeah, no problem.
You need to get some rest.
I will.
Listen, I am sorry if I was abrupt earlier.
We're all under a lot of pressure.
Gail.
Mary's really trying.
Maybe you could give her a chance.
Yeah, I know.
It's just being here.
This was April's whole world.
I miss her so much.
I know it's not fair.
For what it's worth, you and Mary have a lot in common.
What? We both love Eric? No, I was actually gonna say you're both pretty tough broads.
You're both a little hardheaded.
In a bar fight, even money.
- Everything okay back here? - Fine.
Thought you're supposed to stay off your ankle.
Whatever.
It's not like I got shot.
- I told you, Skylar, it wasn't our fault.
- I know.
I just don't understand why now it's okay for all this random criticism about my dad to come flying out at me.
What is that? Especially coming from people who are supposedly his friends.
I guess they're not his friends.
The Carmichaels used to come over, like, every other week for dinner.
We used to go on vacations together.
Why would they do that if they hated him? They don't hate him, they're just scared of him.
My dad was a good man.
He gave them the money for the clock on Main Street.
He did lots of good things.
Maybe he did, but that's not why they were nice to him.
They were nice because he had a lot of power.
That's how it works.
I'm headed to the factory.
You both ready? Gonna need someone to cover those guards over there.
Ted, be ready to take them out.
Thought I was driving.
Someone's gotta be on those guards while I get Jake and Eric out.
You cover them until I get back.
And if need be, take out the sniper first.
Five months ago, you know what I was doing? Customizing my truck.
I was getting ready to defend my dissertation.
Russian lit.
How about you? What were you doing last time things were normal? I can't remember back that far.
Everybody ready? How will we know when you're finished? You'll know.
I'll wait here.
No, no, Russell, these are not your sons.
You can go on home.
We could fix this.
Doesn't have to end this way.
I got the feeling it's just getting started.
You can come to Jericho if you want to.
You know that.
Yeah, I've got a family here.
Little girl.
A son.
And I keep thinking if I stay here, maybe we can stop this.
Johnston.
If you get in a bad situation, go to the railroad tracks and go east.
This will take you to Route 70 and skip the checkpoint.
- Thank you, Russell.
- Good luck.
We're gonna have to do this another time.
- What? - My deputy says it isn't a good day.
You can come back tomorrow.
I'm not leaving until I see my sons, Phil.
I'll tell you what.
You bring back all of my citizens who were shot in Jericho last night, and I'll give you 15 minutes with your sons.
You don't wanna do this.
Let's go, Mr.
Green.
What's this? We gotta escort you back to the checkpoint.
Get in the car, please, Mr.
Green.
Tell me what we got, Jack.
Two more.
Easy.
The mortars are good to go.
Get up.
Don't shoot me! Don't shoot! I am the one they sent to get the guy from Jericho.
He tried to kill me.
Please, I need to talk to Constantino right away, please.
Constantino, that's what Hawkins told me.
He's going to the factory to blow it up and then he's gonna go blow up the town hall so he can get Jake and Eric out.
You expect me to believe he wired a government building under 24- hour armed surveillance? I'm telling you what he told me.
I'm trying to help you so you'll let me stay.
Don't lock me in here.
You think I've forgotten how you turned on your friends when we first brought you in? I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth.
- Get him out of here.
- What is this? Come on, you already know everything.
What do you want from us? - I already told you everything I know.
- Maybe so.
But maybe your brother will be a little more forthcoming if he thinks it'll save your life.
Let him go.
Let him go! The mayor said let him through.
- Let him go.
- Tell me.
Let him go! - Eric.
Eric! - Let him go! - Let him go! - Tell us what you know.
- Let him go! - Tell me.
- Eric! - Tell me right now.
- Look at me.
Don't tell him.
- How many spies have you sent? Tell us or we slice his throat.
Leave him alone, Perkins.
What the hell was that? Come on.
Let's go, men.
Let's go.
Yeah, we're on the way.
Explosion at the factory.
Move them to the warehouse.
- What about the other prisoners? - Just them, now.
Uncuff him.
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
And then handcuff him.
Let's go.
Let's go, move.
- Oh, jeez.
- Where are you going? To get the truck.
You were told to wait here till I got back.
- I know.
- Ted.
Breathe.
Just breathe.
Everything's going fine.
I can't do this.
I'm sorry.
I just can't.
I'm sorry.
Jake! Get down.
- You okay? - Good.
Jake, look out! Jake, Eric! Over here! Everybody, go.
Go, get up.
Come on.
Hurry.
Oh, thanks, Wayne.
With the rest in Aisle 4.
Can I help you, Mrs.
Carmichael? I heard you've got some meat.
One of Mr.
Henderson's mares broke her leg, but she was healthy.
I'll take a quarter pound.
This is a pound of grain.
It's not gonna be enough.
But that's what it says.
Says four pounds of grain for a pound of meat.
Yeah, price went up.
Sorry.
Please.
It's for Harry.
The doctor said he needs protein.
It's up to you.
My father was a good man, Mrs.
Carmichael.
Yes, he was.
There's a quarter pound.
Thank you.
We're closed.
I just wanted to return this.
The antiseptic really helped.
Thank you.
I have a fresh batch.
We'll take it.
So there's no one in town who wants to have a drink tonight? You'd think the big draw would be the atmosphere and gracious hospitality, but turns out it's the booze.
They'll be back when I make more vodka.
Thank you.
How's everything going down at the Center? Well, it's calmed down.
We had to break up a lot of fights.
This whole New Bern thing is making everybody really jumpy.
Talked to Gray.
Said if they're not back by dawn, he'd go up there himself.
Then it's gonna be a long night.
You're welcome to stay, listen to music or I think I'll go home and wait there.
If I hear anything, I'll let you know.
Same here.
Good night, Mary.
I didn't think we'd make it this far with the gas in that tank.
Hey, hey.
We got about 1 2 miles to cover, and I don't think she's gonna make it.
We have to try.
She didn't leave us.
We're not leaving her.
Here's your knife.
- How's your shoulder? - Yeah.
Hurts like hell.
Looks good.
How are you holding up? - I'm still walking.
- Yes, you are.
This is real whiskey.
This is actual whiskey.
I kept a stash just for emergencies.
Yeah, I bet you did.
Hey, Eric, what do you think? It's no meteor shower, but Hey, Jake.
thanks for coming to get me.
You smell that? First wheat's going in.
Used to be my favorite time of year.
Hey.
Listen to that wind.
It's still moving even after everything we did.
And everything that's coming.
We should go.
