Jeremiah (2002–2004): Season 1, Episode 11 - Thieves' Honor - full transcript

Nice breads.

Baked fresh daily.
Well, every Tuesday, anyway.

Listen, do you mind
if I ask you something?

Hey, make an offer.
I'm not proud.

No, I mean,
the goods you take in trade,

do you have to share
a portion of them with Theo?

Look, you want
some bread, cool,

but if not,
then you better move on.

I got a better idea.

We got a few questions
of our own first,

So if you two
wouldn't mind...



Now!

Under normal circumstances,
we wouldn't be asking you

to go back into the field
without a little
decompression time.

Man, forget decompression.
How about debriefing?

We haven't even
reviewed
the information

that we've picked up
over the last 2 weeks.

I'm sure you both remember
your last trip to clarefield.

Yeah, dodgin' live ammunition.

We barely made it
out of that town alive
when Simon bled to death.

You could still smell the evil
where we buried him.

Believe me,
it still weighs on all of us.

If you're lookin' to send us
into Theo country,

you better have
one hell of a reason,
'cause I'll bet you

Theo has got at least
a couple of bullets left,



and they got
our names on 'em.

About a week ago,
we sent a 2-person team

into clarefield
to investigate rumors
that Theo was on her way out.

Couldn't happen
to a nicer person.

We're hoping that a new regime
might afford us

the opportunity
for a strategic alliance.

Problem is, we lost contact
with them 48 hours ago.

You're afraid Theo's
got her claws into them?

Or worse.

May be my keen appreciation
of the obvious,

but a question
comes to mind.

Yeah, like why would you
send in the 2 guys

whose faces are known
all over clarefield?

The 2 guys
Theo would most like to gut
with a church key?

You know one of the, uh,
members we sent in.

Not Elizabeth?

Simon was her lover.

She felt she had
a personal score
to settle with Theo.

You had no business
sending her into a situation

with that level of danger.

Please, just bring her home.

Thunder Mountain
to clarefield.

Co... come in, clarefield.
Do you read? Over.

Thunder Mountain,
this is clarefield.

You're coming in good.
Over.

Be on the lookout, clarefield.

A 2nd team
has been dispatched
from the Mountain.

They're heading your way.
Over.

Copy that.
I'll be watching for them.

Do you have any names,
descriptions? Over.

Lean white guy named Jeremiah,

and a big black man
with dreadlocks,
name's kurdy.

Dear dad,

it's been 15 years

since the big death
wiped out everyone
over the age of innocence...

The end of your world,

the beginning of mine.

Nobody said anything
about guests.

I would've rolled out
the red carpet.

Only you don't wanna know
why it's red.

Caught 'em snooping
in the market, boss.

They wanted to know all about
Theo this and Theo that.

We're new
to the area, Theo.

Your reputation
obviously precedes you.

We're just curious,
that's all.

Well, you must have heard
I like bullshit,

'cause you're using
that old shovel
like you do it for a livin'.

We're just
passing through.

If we ran aground
any local customs,
you have our apologies.

Well, I will have
a lot more than that
before I'm through.

Now, look, Liz,

that's your name,
right?

Look, Elizabeth, honey,

now, I'm gonna
save me some time

and you some embarrassment,

and I'm gonna tell you
exactly what I know,

and then you gonna tell me
what I don't.

Now, my brain boys
were scanning the airwaves,

and what do they come across?

Damned if it's not a team
from the end of the world.

Now, another minute,
and they might have found out
where everybody was,

but it did let us know
you were comin'.

You have no idea
who I am, do you?

I used your name, didn't I?

Elizabeth, don't.

Why the hell not?

A few months back,
you and your people
killed a man named Simon.

Simon? Oh, no,
that's not ringing any bells.

Simon was a good man.

He was a decent man.

Oh, wait.

Now it's comin'
back to me. Simon.

Oh, well, I'm sorry, girl,

but that man
just would not cooperate.

He didn't deserve to die.

Oh.

That is just so touching.

Aren't you moved, Sam? Because
I'm just about to emote.

Oh, false alarm.

Must've been
somethin' in my eye.

Uh, excuse me, Theo?

Whatever it is, ras,
your timing sucks.

Come back later.

Actually, later doesn't work
for my schedule.

Now, since when do I
give a high-flying fuck
about your schedule?

I don't know.
Now might be a good time.

Boys, would you please
get this bean counter
out of here,

and throw in
an etiquette lesson or 2
while you're at it?

Is there something wrong
with the acoustics in here?

You gotta be shittin' me.

I wouldn't do that.

You know what?

Oh, I heard folks talking
trash about making a move,

but I never thought
it would be you.

Yeah,
life's full of surprises.

Look, I don't know
what this clown told y'all,

but if you think turning on me
is gonna get y'all
anything but...

Shut the fuck up!

God, that feels good.

It's your last chance.

Shoot this mother now.

It's game over, Theo.
I'm in, you're out.

Changing of the guard.

Does that work for you?

You work for me, asshole!

I don't work for you anymore,
sweetheart. None of us do.

You pushed a little too hard
for a little too long.

You actually expect me
to believe my peeps

are gonna take this
lyin' down?

No, it's called
profit sharing.

Everyone gets a little taste.

You'd be amazed
how much loyalty that breeds.

What you gonna do,
braveheart?

You gonna kill me?

This'll be a bloodless coup.

We're gonna do things
a little differently,
now that I'm in charge.

Besides, the last thing
I want to do
is create a martyr.

So here's the deal.
You, Sam, Keith,

and anyone else
brain-dead enough
to stick with you,

have all got 24 hours
to get as far from clarefield
as you can.

What about them?

Take 'em to the rec building.
I'll deal with them later.

As far as clarefield
is concerned, Theo, baby,

you are nothing
but a bad dream.

Get her out of my sight.

There's been
a serious security breach.

Every indication is that
it's how Theo found out
about Elizabeth's team.

What kind of breach
are we talking about, Lee?

Over the past 4 weeks,
there've been a number

of unauthorized communications
between here and clarefield.

You're sure about this?

For security purposes,
there's a digital footprint
to all our transmissions.

Now, there was
a fairly skillful attempt
to erase the trail,

but an embedded system
caught it.

You take it to mean what?

We may have a traitor
in our midst.

Somewhere around here
is the last place

that Elizabeth and Gabriel
transmitted from.

This is a big-ass
waste of time.

We're not gonna
find anything out here.

If she's still alive,
she's in clarefield, man.

Well, orders were
to check here first.

This is the back road
to clarefield.

Maybe we ought to
just cover this truck up
and hoof it.

Man, somebody
in charge up there

has got it in
for my ass.

What, you mean
at the Mountain?

No, I mean somebody
up there.

Listen, man,
I don't know much
about psychology stuff,

but it sounds to me
like you're nibbling
at the edges of paranoia.

Man, the first woman
who's ever really
felt special to me,

no sooner did I meet her

than I get
sucker punched by fate.

"Sorry, kurdy,
you gotta go right
back to being alone."

You're not exactly
alone, man. I'm here.

Yeah, like I said,
somebody's got it in
for my ass.

This guy needs to recognize...

I mean, they need to be
having his wake right now.

I bet you even the cockroaches
wouldn't show up.

I mean, if he thinks
that he can just
shove me out of the way,

then that man is in
for a very rude awakening.

Lookee here,

I say we lay low,

we give him
a couple of days
to drop his guard,

then we come back
with some big honkin' guns,

and then we hit him ugly.

I mean,
way I'm looking at it,

this guy
is committing suicide
by proxy,

and who are we
to disappoint him?

I don't think so,
Theo.

What're you talking about?
Why the hell not?

Because we have
different orders.

Look, Sam, that's not
even remotely funny.

You see me laughin', Theo?

You mean to tell me
rasmussen bought you out?
Is that it?

Let's just say I had to make
a difficult choice.

Keith, you... you're not
goin' let him
get away with this, are you?

I'm sorry, Theo.
It's all about survival.

You're all
scrawny-assed cowards,
all of you!

And rasmussen!

Motherfucker
didn't even have the guts
to do it himself.

Yeah, well, this way, no one
in clarefield will ever know
what really happened.

I'll always remember
the good times, Theo.

Fucker!

Fuck.

What? Where's Keith?

You let that
little traitor get away?

Oh, you ought to be grateful.
We just saved your life.

Yeah, and that was
for the 2nd time.

Oh, yeah, right, right,
the marketplace.

Yeah. Kurdy, are we starting
to pick up a bad habit?

It would seem so.

Yeah.

Oh, shit.

Come here.

Your jacket
looks like it'd fit me.

You wanna trade?

Ok, look,
I appreciate
what you done,

but how about
we just leave it
at no questions asked?

Do you really think
that we put our lives
on the line

just to save your sorry ass?

Ok.

I got a whole load
of stuff I can give you.

Well, it better be better
than the load of stuff

You're givin' me right now.

Well, what y'all want?

We had a couple of friends
went to clarefield.

We lost contact with 'em.

Oh, come on, man.
A lo... a lot of folks
come through clarefield.

You got another bullet
in that clip, kurdy?

Oh, yeah,
I got enough to blow out
all her headlights.

You wouldn't.

Isn't that what you said
to the last guy?

Now, you get us
into clarefield

and you get us to our friends,
you can go back

to that cesspool
you call home and start
strutting your stuff again.

And what if I say no?

What if I say
we found 2 bodies

in the woods
outside of clarefield?

Thunder Mountain
to clarefield.
Do you read? Over.

Thunder Mountain
to clarefield.

Oh, we read, all right.

Looks like
we found our traitor.

You know why Theo's bird
is on this plate

and not on that perch?

Because I asked it
to stop squawking,
and it wouldn't listen.

You son of a bitch!

I gave you orders.

And we tried,
but these 2 guys

came out of nowhere.
They... they took Sam down.

I barely got out
with my life.

You make it sound
as if that were
worth something.

They're those two,
I recognized 'em.

The-they're the ones
from the end of the world.

You remember
from a few months back?

The ones who escaped
with the rover?

They got a hell of a lot
of nerve coming back here.

Yeah, exactly what I thought.

But then, so did you.

Well, I...

You know, I figured,
you know, if I ran
and... and you found out,

I... I wouldn't stand a chance.

I... I...

My only hope was to come back
and... and, you know,
face the music.

Well, you're probably right.

I knew you'd understand.

Yeah.

The only reason
you're still alive right now
is because I want her dead

more than I want you dead.

Look, just... just tell me
what you want me to do. Uh...

We could go in
with a dozen guys
and smoke 'em all.

No, no, no.
I'm not gonna
start my regime

by losing men
in a damn shoot-out.

I want you
to find those guys

and tell them
I have a proposal for them,

ok?

So you got those handcuffs?

Now, I know
we've been on the road
a long time, man, but ew.

Funny.

Think about it.

We could probably use her
to buy Elizabeth's freedom.

Right now what we need
is information.

What we got over here
is the ultimate insider.

That team we talked about,

where are they?

You kiddin', right?

You don't really expect me
to help you.

Let's just say
I'm an optimist.

If I tell you,
you gonna let me go?

No.

But I'll kill you
if you don't.

Aw,
yeah, you just saved my life,

now I'm supposed to believe
that you're
just gonna cap me?

Be ironic,
wouldn't it?

All right.

But the only reason
I'm telling you

is because I wanna see
the guy that's got 'em fry.

So where are they?

Rec building
at the school.

I'm sure you remember
the hospitality suite.

Thank you, Theo.

Now, can I see you
return the favor?

Sure.
Open your mouth.

Ooh!

You are optimistic.

So what kind of security
can we expect?

Without any incentive,
that's as far as I go!

That's ok.

We're patient men.

Speak for yourself.

I'm not goin'
stand around and watch you
play 20 questions

with this murderer
and liar here.

Look, we go charging
into hostile territory

without information,
we're not just putting
ourselves at risk, man,

we'd get
Elizabeth killed.

Now, I can wear
her down. I know that.

Fine, you
knock yourself out

trying to get more honey
out of queen bee, here.
I'm takin' the rover,

and I'm gonna stake out
this rec building,

make sure they're not moved,
but dig,
I'm not waiting forever.

I'll meet you there
first thing in the morning.

And if I see that Elizabeth
is in any immediate danger,

I'm going in
with or without you.

Understood.

We know you were
in regular communications

with person or persons
at clarefield.

The question is,
who and why?

We may have lost
a trusted team of operatives

because someone at clarefield
got a heads-up
about the mission.

You think this is some game?
Is that what you think?

'Cause I have
half a mind to report

that you grabbed my weapon
and turned it on yourself,

and don't think
that I wouldn't.

Now, I'll ask you again.

Who were you talking to
in that vipers' nest?

It's not
what you think.

I never would've
passed on information
like that.

I was just talking
to my sister.

Greetings, my friends.

It's a glorious day out there,

crisp,

cold,

just the way I like it.

The kind of day

you like to curl up
with a good book,

sip Brandy,

maybe torture
a prisoner or 2.

You're
as sick as Theo.

I'm not even
in the same league as Theo,

but I appreciate
the attempt at flattery.

Why don't you
let her go?

You don't need
the both of us.

Actually,
you do have a point.

Why don't you tell me

the exact location
of the people

who sent you on this
fool's errand, and, uh,

I'll let, uh, one of you go.

You can even decide who.
Sound fair?

Go to hell!

You

go to hell.

I was hoping I could avoid
the ordeal of breaking you.

It's so labor-intensive.

Come on, come on.
Let it go.

That's a waste
of perfectly good dirt.

You know,
some people might say

now's a good time
for an attitude adjustment.

Yeah, I was gonna mention
that myself, but I thought
you might be offended.

What are the chances
of Elizabeth and her
partner still being alive?

You believe in miracles?

I believe most people act
out of self-interest.

There you go.

If rasmussen thinks
he can get something
from your friends,

then odds are
they're still alive.

Don't shoot!

I'm here in the spirit
of cooperation, I swear.

Well, good.
Be a gentleman,
get on your knees,

and let this man
blow your brains out.

Why'd you come back?

I've come
with an offer.

What kind of offer?

You can't be serious.
You not gonna listen
to this weasel?

It's from rasmussen.
Real simple.

He's willing
to make a trade.

You give him Theo,
he'll give you those 2 spies.

That's it.
Ball's in your court.

They sure ain't
nowhere else.

I'm, uh...

I... I'm gonna go now.

Hang on.

Tell rasmussen
he's got a deal.

Do you have any idea
what he is gonna do to me?

Frankly, my dear...

Well,
you know the rest.

What're you...

What're you doing?

And one for you.

See, now, that,
that makes me mad.

Oh, and what am I,
a portrait of serenity?

Shit.

Problem?

Oh, hell.

Kurdy's still got the key.

You knew that,
didn't you?

Moi?

Jacob Rutledge, 26.
Electronics specialist.

Been at the Mountain
since he was recruited
6 years ago.

Commendable record.
No sign of disloyalty.

That's what makes it
so scary.

That's ridiculous, Lee.

The man was trying
to reach his sister
in the only way he knew how.

How do we know
he didn't invent this sister
for plausible deniability?

Come on, you've never heard
of the law of parsimony?

All things being equal,
the simplest explanation
is usually what's true.

For all we know,
our location might already be
in the hands of the enemy.

Is there any way
to corroborate his story?

Even if we accept it
at face value,

that still doesn't
get him off the hook.

Somebody at the clarefield end
used those communications

to identify Elizabeth's team.

But he never intended
to betray the Mountain.

Look, Marcus,
we've laid out the case.

It's time for you
to make a decision.

I'm not ready.

I need someone who can
reach out to this man.
Get him to open up more.

If necessary, I need
someone who can even act
as an advocate on his behalf.

Do you really think
that's necessary?

Erin, I want you
to talk to him.

If this is nothing more
than recklessness
or lack of judgment,

we need to know that.

I know what you're doing.

You're trying to make me
feel guilty. Screw that.
It's not gonna work.

You kill innocent people
all the time,

whenever it's
convenient for you.

You know what this is?
It's poetic justice.

What goes around
comes around.

Look, get your ass
in gear, all right?

Look, if I have to drag
150 pounds of dead weight,
I will...

150 pounds?

You should've thought
about the consequences

before you shot Matthew
in cold blood

or sent those guys
to gun down Simon.

What do you want?

You want me
to apologize?

You want me
to get all weepy,

start bowin'
and scrapin'?

A little remorse
would be a start.

Ow!

You let me tell you
something, my pasty friend.

If I had to do it
all over again,

I would,
in a New York second.

That's right.
I would kill
a... a hundred Matthews,

a thousand Simons,

if it meant
protecting my people.

Yeah, well, they're not
your people now, are they?

Why,

'cause some shit-for-brains
waves a big gun
and greased some palms?

You know,
I think I liked it better
when you were quiet.

Backstabbing,
self-serving prick.

I'll tell you what,
I'll meet you halfway.

I'll plug my ears.
All you've got to do
is shut your mouth.

How about I ram my foot
so far up your ass your
kidneys give me a shoe shine?

I'm here
for only one reason,

to get your side
of the story.

What for?

Everybody's made up
their minds that I've
committed treason.

Is that the way
you want it?

Give me a break.

I'm trying to, Jacob.

Help me understand
why you did
what you did.

You said you wanted
to help your sister.

We grew up on a farm
in Montana.

My father was an...
An amateur ham operator,

taught me everything
there was to know
about electronics.

And Deborah, my sister,

she was amazing
at making things grow.

After the death,
it was just the two of us.

So when I was recruited
by Marcus 6 years ago,

I tried to bring
Deborah with me.

They said no.

That was when I promised her
that one day
we'd be together again.

When you told your sister
about the team
from thunder Mountain,

did you think you might have
been putting them in danger?

No, of course not.

Is that
what really happened?

Right now,

we don't know
if Elizabeth and Gabriel
are even alive.

I'll accept whatever
they want to do to me,

but you gotta tell them
it wasn't Deborah's idea,

and if there's any way
of bringing her
to thunder Mountain...

I'll be lucky
if I can keep you here.

We'll arrange
the sticks

in a little teepee
like this here. Now...

Hey, I know how to build
a damn fire.

Really?
You don't strike me
as much of the outdoor type.

What outdoors?

That's just
basic techniques of arson.

Oh, nice.

I hope you got something
decent to eat in that bag
over there of yours.

What, you assume that
I'd share it with you
if I did?

Even the condemned
get a last meal.

Well, I don't stand
on ceremony much.

I got a problem.

Just one?
See, 'cause I could make
a long list.

I gotta pee.

What do you want me
to do about it?

At least look the other way.

Try not to put
the fire out, will you?

The last time I camped out
in the woods,

I was running
for my life.

What'd you do?

What makes you so sure
I did something?

I just got the feeling
if you were runnin',

somebody
was chasin' you.

Shot a man in the face.

He was mad about that?

Oh, no.

Actually, he was dead.

His posse came after me.

Why'd you do it?

Why do you care?

Let's just say
I'm a captive audience.

Forced himself on me.

Asshole left his gun
on the nightstand.

It's hard for me to imagine
a man could force you
to do anything.

Yeah.

I was 13 at the time.

You know,
I've been slashed
by a broken bottle,

I've been shot
through the leg,

I've been beaten up
and left for dead,

but that's the only scar
I can't hide.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It's always been easy for you,
hasn't it?

You kiddin' me?
I grew up
in the same world you did.

I had to survive.

I don't mean survival.
I mean making judgments,

who's right, who's wrong,

who's the good guy,
who's the bad guy.

It's always been
cut and dried, huh?

Pretty much.

Yeah.

That's just it, cowboy.
It shows.

Didn't the big death
teach you anything?

It taught me
that life is precious.

That's funny.

It taught me life is cheap.

That explains a lot.

It sure does.

You think we're a lot
different, you and me?

And you don't?

Hell, no.

I mean, think about it.

You ready to sacrifice
my life for another.

Me having Simon killed,
that was the same thing,

but you struttin' around
up there on your Mountain,

clucking your tongue
at all of us chumps
down here below.

Who the hell are you to judge?

If you can't tell
the difference between
what's right and what's wrong,

what's the point?

The point, Jeremiah,

is that it's all
in the eye of the beholder.

You like grapes?

Yeah, sure.

Here.

Thanks.

You're kurdy, right?

Excuse me?

Big black guy, dreads.

Gotta be kurdy.

No, name's Willy,

free Willy.

I don't think so.

Listen, I know
why you're here.

You've come to get
Elizabeth and Gabriel,

and I can help you.

Is that right?

But you gotta promise me
something.

I don't even know
who you are.

My name's Deborah.

My brother Jacob's
been at thunder Mountain
for over 6 years.

That's when we got separated.

All I ask
is when this is over,

you bring me back with you,

so Jacob and I
can be together.

You said
you could help me.

Do we have a deal?

Yeah, sure.

If you wanna get them out,

your best bet
is early tomorrow morning
when they rotate the patrols.

There's a small window
above the entrance
to the rec room.

I'll click my flashlight
3 times. That'll mean move.

You really
gonna do it?

Trade you
for Elizabeth?

My mission
is to save her
and her partner.

I don't have
a lot of choice.

And you depending
on rasmussen
to keep his word?

Honor among thieves.

Is that her?

Uh, what's up
with the handcuffs?

It's a long story.
You got the key?

What keys?

Oh, come on, man.

Kurdy?

I'm just fuckin'
with you.

There you go.

She give you any attitude?

Just a little.

Well, good move
bringing her here.

A prisoner swap, right?

Look, I was thinking
about that, man.

What?

We turn her over to rasmussen,
we're no better than he is.

There's got to be another way.

What?

There's gotta be
another way.

Well, fortunately,
there just might be.

That inside information
we were talking about?

I think I got it.

So does that mean
I'm free?

What that means
is I am letting you go,

but with all the baggage
you're carrying around,

I doubt you'll ever be free.

No! What if it was
your brother?

Wouldn't you show some mercy?

Don't give me
that mercy crap.

The man betrayed us,
pure and simple.

Stop! Look at us.

This is
tearing us apart.

Marcus, you heard Jacob.

His actions might have been
ill-advised,

but he never knew they could
constitute a threat.

Whether he knew it or not
is very much beside the point.

We can't punish Jacob
for treason

when his biggest crime
was loyalty to family.

Will you say
the same thing
if his indiscretion

winds up killing
every person here?

Lee's right.

If the laws
we worked to establish
are subject to interpretation

by every individual
within these walls,
then one day,

maybe not now,
but one day, all this
will come crashing down.

So we should go forward
with the penalty phase?

No, I'm not saying that.

Is there anyone here
who doesn't know

someone on the outside
they secretly wish they
could bring into the fold?

We need to acknowledge
that there was an underlying
innocence to his actions.

We let those actions
go unpunished,

it'll send a message
to every resident
of the Mountain:

Good intentions are enough,
to heck with the consequences.

On the other hand,
if we hold him accountable
for something

he couldn't have foreseen,
what kind of message is that?

So then you're saying
we should drop the charges.

No, I'm not saying
that, either.

What are you
saying, Marcus?

This isn't working
anymore.

What's not working?

Carrying the scales
of justice around
as if I owned them,

being the final arbiter.

More than that,
it's holding this man's fate
in my hands

as if I had the right
to decide it.

But you do have that right.

No. It's gotta stop.
I don't have the will.

I can't play God anymore.
I just can't do it.

You don't wanna decide
what happens
to Jacob Rutledge.

From now on,

when there's
a significant crime,

a contentious dispute,
an irreconcilable conflict,

the council is judge and jury.

How's that going to work?

That's my point.

You figure it out.

Kurdy! Kurdy!

Kurdy, thank God.

Come on, man.

Hurry.

Give me a key. I need a key.
Hurry.

Come on, man.
Open that fucker.

Let's go.

What the hell's
going on?

Hold it
right there.

Hey, boys,
whatcha got?

Theo?
I thought you...

You thought what?

Come on,

you didn't really think
that that was going to last,
did you?

You want to talk
to rasmussen,

you'll find him
in the cafeteria on a slab,

with an apple in his mouth.

I'll take that,

thank you.

You're a doll.

You did good, boys.

Chocolate
or cheerleaders?

You take your pick.

Now help me get
these animals

back into their cage.

Then that one, too.

Flag on the play, guys.

What the...

Put 'em in the cage!

Let's get
the fuck outta here.

Listen, Theo,

what you did
back there...

What?

Made you think maybe
I wasn't the devil incarnate
after all?

I wouldn't go that far,
but, um, I appreciate it.

Hey, are you sure
you don't wanna... bring
me home to meet the parents?

You know, if I had some,
I would consider it.

Yeah, well,

I don't think I'd really
fit in where you guys
are goin', anyway.

Yeah, probably not.

Besides,
I got business.

What, rasmussen?

Oh, yeah.

The thought of him
with that apple in his mouth
got my juices goin'.

I'd be a liar if I told you
I could ever forgive you

for what you did
to Simon.

I don't want it.
Didn't ask for it.

Now, you can go on believin'
whatever you want to about me.

I know who I am,
and that's all that matters.

Anyway...

It's been real.

It's still hard for me to
believe you're really here.

If I had known
the risk you were taking
in contacting me, I'd...

I'd do it
all over again.

Let's just hope
they let you stay.

Well, Jeremiah and kurdy
put in a good word.
It's gotta help.

Come on.
I want to show you
the hydroponics area.

You're not
gonna believe it.

Goin' after Theo...

I was in over my head.

Well, I'm proud of you,
you know that?

I got caught.

Yeah, but you
never caved.

I think the council's decision

to bar Jacob
from all communications
was a good one.

Although rescinding it
in one year,

it's barely
a slap on the wrist.

I'm not sure
what we would've done

if Elizabeth and Gabriel
hadn't come back safely.

Oh, I have
a pretty good idea.

The important thing is
it was the council
that decided.

It gives us a foundation
we can build on.

You still haven't told me
how you got our team
out of there.

I thought I'd wait
until we were both
a little drunk.

And if I can't wait
20 minutes?
