Jericho (2006–2008): Season 1, Episode 8 - Rogue River - full transcript

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.

The unfortunate truth is
there was another explosion in Atlanta.

Well, I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar
faces around here since the attacks.

Robert Hawkins
has been nothing but helpful.

Shows up two days before
the end of the world with enough cash

to buy the old Thompson house.

I'm just saying that we should know

a little more about
who we're sharing our foxhole with.



Is it inappropriate that I keep asking
questions about him?

Do you have a thing for Jake?

No. Maybe.

Yes, just a little bit. A little.

The mighty Johnston Green
felled by the flu.

I came here to talk to you,
but when I got here...

Hurry.
He went into shock or something.

Three, four. He's not breathing.

Must have been too much
for his system.

- How do we treat it?
- If we had any heavy-duty meds

left in the pharmacy, maybe.

- What kind would he need?
- Cipro probably.

But we ran out weeks ago.

They'd have it
in Rogue River, though.



- That's 90 miles away.
- Gotta get going, then.

- I'm going too.
- Eric, no.

If Gray's right
about how dangerous--

Go. Go now.

- Jake.
- I see it.

Slow down.

I'm not stopping
until we get to Rogue River.

We can't leave her lying
in the middle of the road.

You see that second set
of skid marks back there?

Someone forced her off the road
and probably robbed her and killed her.

For all we know they could be
waiting out there to do it again.

I don't like it any more than you do,
but if we don't make it, Dad dies.

This is the world we live in now.

Yes, it's ready.

Oh, no, honey.
Watch out, sweetie, it's hot.

Wow,
I can't believe it worked, Mom.

Yes, your father
is a very smart man.

- Should I go get him?
- No, honey, he's working.

Besides,
this thing needs time to cool.

- Hello.
- Mrs. Hawkins.

Do you mind
if we come in for a few minutes?

Hey, Gray Anderson and Jimmy
are here to see you.

- Did they say about what?
- No.

But I didn't get the feeling
it was just a friendly house call.

Okay.

Okay, I got a route
to the county hospital in Rogue River.

- Take Cedar Run Road--
- No good.

You don't even know
what I was gonna say.

Put the map away.
We're taking the back roads.

Dad's on borrowed time.
We need to get the medicine and--

I spent most of my teenage years
driving these roads.

We'll make up the time.

- You always think you know better.
- This thing's loaded?

Yes, it's loaded.

What are we gonna have to do,
Jake?

I don't know,
but when it comes time to do it...

I'll be ready.

You haven't said anything for miles.
Stay sharp.

What happened to you, Jake?

- What do you mean?
- The last five years.

Where were you?

I'm assuming jail.

- Why won't you tell me?
- Why does it matter?

Because all that time

I stood and I watched
Mom and Dad suffer.

Every time the phone rang
they thought it was you.

I used to hate calling the house

because we sound the same
on the phone.

I couldn't listen to them
realising it's only me.

I'm sorry, all right?
I'm sorry for what I did to our family.

But don't use me as an excuse
for not getting on with your life.

What's that supposed to mean?

You wouldn't be the first guy
to leave his wife, Eric.

I'm not telling you to leave her.
I'm just saying--

You don't know
what you're talking about.

I'm talking about
what you're afraid to say.

Life's too short.

Well, don't worry about me.
Just drive.

Thanks for talking with us, Rob.

No problem, Gray.

What's this all about?

Well, when I was in Topeka
people were saying

that all of this could be the first step
in a foreign invasion.

Except that getting all of these bombs
into the country

would be pretty difficult.

Without help on the inside.

Exactly.

I understand you and your family

moved to Jericho
just before the attack.

And you bought your house in cash,

on a cop's salary.

Am I under arrest
for not taking on a 30-year mortgage?

No, of course not.

Well, if you wouldn't mind,

my family and I were just about
to sit down to dinner--

Actually, if you wouldn't mind

humouring us
for a couple more minutes...

You know, since all this happened,

we're all, I think,
understandably curious about

anybody who's new in Jericho.

Well, why don't you
just ask me the question?

Do you really think
I was the mastermind

behind the largest terrorist attack
in the history of the world?

Were you?

Fine. Listen, would you mind if I just
asked your family a few questions?

That's funny.

You know, when I was a cop,

that is just the kind of thing that
I would say during an interrogation.

- Purely information.
- And I would have said that too, Gray.

Well, Darcy's been wanting
to get to know the neighbours.

Come on.

How long can he hold on like this?

I can't say for sure.

Maybe 12 hours.

Twelve hours?

I am so sorry.

I've been married to that man
for a long time.

I refuse to believe
this is the way it ends.

- Oh, hey.
- Hey.

I brought some food.

Yeah, come in. Gail's upstairs.

I used to have
this phobia of dairy products

that don't need to be refrigerated.

Now I thank God
for processed-cheese food.

Yeah, I brought soup.
Creamy mushroom.

The only stuff I had left
is what I had for the food drive.

I guess we're not the only ones.
How is he?

He's getting worse.

April doesn't think
he has a lot of time.

Hi. I heard the door,
I thought it was the boys.

- Heather brought some food.
- Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

I'm so sorry about your husband,
Mrs. Green.

In this day and age,
how can someone die of a fever?

It's the 21 st century.
I can't get the right drugs.

Can't even find ice to cool him off.

I can make ice.

One of the students had a project
in the science fair last year.

I just need water and...

Do you have fertiliser?

Maybe, in the garage.

Okay. I can do this, I think.

Okay, well, let's try.

Okay.
Grab every large bowl you have.

Can you get some buckets?

Get some fresh water
from the well. It'll be cooler.

I'll get the fertiliser.

Buckets are in the laundry room.

Where is everybody?

Come on, let's get to the hospital.

You see those markings?

Those homes were evacuated
10-25 by FEMA.

Ten twenty-five.

That means they came through
a month after the bombs.

Well, if FEMA was here at least
there's still a sort of government.

As of a week ago.

What are the other numbers?

Zero is the number they found alive.

And the two?

Number of dead.

We're gonna go in, get the medicine
and we're gonna get out.

Okay.

"Federal Emergency Management
Agency has determined

that radioactive fallout from the blast
in north Kansas has contaminated

the water table of this region.

Under no circumstances should water
from any taps or wells be consumed.

FEMA."

Well, I guess that explains
why this place is empty.

What the hell?

Where is that coming from?
We gotta get inside.

Stay close.

Oh, my God. What happened here?

You okay?

Yeah. Where do you think
those shots came from?

Top floor.

Who the hell
would be shooting at us?

I don't know. If they have any Cipro,
it's probably upstairs.

Oh, my God.

Five-five-six.
From an automatic weapon.

Maybe they belonged to these guys.

I didn't know Rogue River
had a SWAT team.

They don't. These guys aren't cops.
They're government contractors.

Private army.
A firm called Ravenwood.

What are mercenaries
doing in Kansas?

Same thing they've been doing
in Iraq and New Orleans.

The military's been stretched so thin
the past few years

mercenaries became a commodity.

The real question is:

Did they kill these people?

Look. Let's just get the drugs
and go, okay?

- All right. You ready?
- Yeah.

Nice job with the stove.

You burn the wood
in the broiler, right?

Yeah.

You know, we're just lucky
we had gas instead of an electric,

because it's got its own built-in vent.

Where's your brother?

How should I know?
I'm here with you.

Allison, manners.

Let me know when dinner's back on.

Will you just pardon me a moment?

So, Darcy, why did you decide
to move to Jericho?

Hey.

I don't like that guy.

I need you
to do something for me, okay?

The ammonium nitrate in the fertiliser
extracts the heat from the water.

How long is it supposed to take?

I don't know. I think a while.

I'm gonna go up and check on him.

God, I hope
I'm not screwing this up.

She's been up for 24 hours.

They've been married for 40 years.

Oh, can you imagine?

I was supposed to be
married tomorrow.

Hey, hey.

Roger's coming back.

So is Jake.

All right, stay close to the wall.

Come on, come here.

Okay.

If something happens to me,
get in the car and go, all right?

Find another town.
Search house to house if you have to.

Jake,
nothing is gonna happen to you.

Okay? Nothing ever does.

Go! Go, move!

You went to Crow Island School.

We moved here
after our grandfather died.

- Sam, are you listening?
- I'm hungry. I want dinner.

Oh, God.

You know what, Sam? You should
tell that to the guys in there.

Just keep saying it
as much as you can, okay?

Hey, pal. What you drawing?

My old house.

Oh, yeah? Well, where is that?

I'm hungry.

Well, you know what?

Soon as we're finished talking
your mom will give you some pie.

- I want it now.
- Well, in a few--

Now. I'm hungry.

He gets a little cranky
when he's hungry.

Yeah, I see that.

You mind if we get him
something to eat?

No, no, of course not.

I'll take him to the kitchen.
Come on, Sam.

Would you mind hanging out
for a couple of minutes?

Whatever.

- Sam.
- See you, buddy.

You okay?

You say something?

All I hear is ringing.

It'll pass in a minute.

You down there, freeze!

Drop your weapons.

No. We're here for medicine.

It's an emergency.
We don't want trouble.

There's no medicine here.

We wanna look for ourselves.

We can trade you for food.

We have everything we need.
Go away.

- Jake.
- What?

Are you crazy?

Didn't you hear him? He's scared.

He threw a grenade.

That was a flash-bang,
not a grenade.

It's just loud and bright to scare us.

If he wanted to kill us
he would have.

We're putting our weapons down
and coming up.

You come up and I'll shoot you.

All right, just take it easy.

That's far enough.

Gail.

Oh, it's me, April.

Gail's downstairs. She'll be up soon.

I wish there was something more
I could do, but there isn't.

Please, just hold on a little longer.

Can I tell you a secret?

You are going to be a grandfather.

I haven't told anyone yet,
not even Eric.

I don't know what he's going to say.

But this child needs a grandpa.

Hold on, okay? Please.

You're with Ravenwood.

How do you know?

I spent a year and a half
in the Green Zone,

running a supply rig
up and down Route Irish to BIAP.

You were in Iraq? Soldier?

No, I just drove a truck
for another contractor,

but I met a lot of Ravenwood guys.

Where were you?

Fallujah.

Man, I thought I had it bad.

I thought it was the worst thing
I'd ever lived through.

Till now.

You mind putting that thing down?

We're just here for medicine.
We don't have a lot of time.

This is my brother, Eric. I'm Jake.

Come on.

Randy Payton.

I'll take you to see the doc.

You're in pretty bad shape.

Morphine and instant coffee
are the only thing

keeping me standing right now.

What are you doing in Kansas?

Not enough National Guard.

Homeland Security hired us.

Brought us in to protect
the governor of Nebraska.

Wait, the governor's alive?

Don't know.

When we landed,

they brought us here
to help FEMA evacuate Rogue River.

Where to?

FEMA set up a tent city.

Wal-Mart parking lot.

A few miles north of here.

What happened to these people?

These are the ones
that couldn't be moved.

Too old.

Too sick.

So you just killed them?

No. Not me.

We tried to move them,
but the doctors wouldn't allow it.

There were so many of them,

crying out, begging.

The guys just wanted to come in
and they wanted to take the medicine,

and they wanted to leave.

But doctors started arguing
with them.

And then one of our guys,
he just snapped.

He started firing. Before I knew it,
they had all emptied their weapons.

Why didn't you stop them?

How do you think I got shot?

They left me for dead
with everybody else.

There's the doc. When I came to,
he was working on me.

Patched me up as best he could.

Trying to save everybody else
since then.

I need more bloody light.

- Doc?
- Yeah.

This is Jake and Eric,
and they need medicine.

Dr. Kenchy Dhuwalia.
Forgive me if I don't shake your hand.

We need Cipro.

Right.

Morphine's worth a lot more,
you know?

Hey, I'm not selling it, all right?
I need it now.

It's for my father.

It's Ravenwood.

They're back.

Looks like there are
six or eight of them.

They brought a truck.
They're gonna clean out the hospital.

Medicine, supplies,
anything that's not nailed down.

And they're gonna kill
anybody they find alive.

We know what they did.

We can't let them get inside.

Hey, hey!

One down.

What about a back exit?

It's barricaded.

You wanna live? Stand up and fight.

There's someone up there.

Well, that's when my grandma died
and left everything to my parents.

They wanted me out
of the school I was in, so we moved.

Was your father away from home a lot
when you were a kid?

Of course. He's a cop.

Well, did he bring friends around?

Anybody you thought
was kind of strange?

His friends are all cops.

What about money?

Did your parents
ever argue over money?

Doesn't everyone's?

No, I'm thinking, you know,
about a sudden windfall.

- Like my grandma's inheritance?
- Right.

Now, when was that again?

What, are you stupid?

I already told you. Six months ago.

- Don't be disrespectful, Allison.
- Dad, this is bull!

He's in our house acting like
we're criminals or something.

Are you harassing everyone in town
or just the black people?

That's enough.

Why are you letting him do this?

- I apologise, Mr. Anderson.
- You're apologizing to him?

Yes, and so are you.

Forget that. I'm not sorry.

- Apologise.
- Dad, he's a racist!

I hate this stupid town.
I wish we never moved.

They're coming in.

Why weren't they shooting?

Ammo's in short supply.
They're gonna wait to fight up close.

- Here. Take some of these clips.
- They're all empty.

We gotta get the medication
and get out of here.

Doc! Where's the Cipro?

- Where's the Cipro?
- On the shelf.

They're gonna come straight for us.
We gotta hide.

Let them pass,
then we can slip out.

I couldn't even save one.
Not even one!

Doc, we gotta go
or we're gonna be dead too.

- Jake!
- I got it, I got it!

Come on. Come on!

My girl's been through a lot,
but I raised her better than that.

I wanna assure you, Mr. Hawkins,
that this is not about colour.

Black, white, or otherwise.

My only objective
is to protect the people of Jericho.

I got a boy about the same age.

You should bring yours over sometime.
Yeah, Samuel could use a playmate.

Would you mind if Jimmy has a quick
look around the house while we talk?

Excuse me?

Just a question of being thorough.

And is searching houses
standard policy here?

I thought this was Kansas,
not Soviet Russia.

You know, we've been
pretty easygoing about all this.

And I'm only asking
for a little more patience

so I know I can vouch for you.

Unless you're afraid
there's something we'll find.

You know,
if you can overlook the mess,

we can overlook
the violation of our civil rights.

I'll just take a quick peek around
and then we'll be on our way.

Come on, let's go.

What do you say we wait
till they leave the building?

But that could take hours.
Dad doesn't have hours.

What's wrong with him?

He's gone into septic shock.

Sepsis. You have to go back.

What are you talking about?

If your father's in septic shock
his organs are shutting down.

That means that by the time
you get to him,

his body won't even be able
to process the Cipro.

You need an intravenous drug.

It's called Levaquin.
It's back in the ICU.

- What's it look like?
- It's a clear bottle, purple label.

You'll need syringes.

Jake, this is nuts.
We can't go back there.

We can't take the chance
if we have the wrong medicine.

- We're gonna shoot our way through?
- Yeah, if I have to.

I'm with you.

Are you with me or not?

Okay.

We need a plan.

All right.

This is definitely taking too long.
The water should be freezing by now.

Let's just dump these and start over.

Shouldn't we figure out
what we've done wrong?

No. This is all we have.

The mayor's running out of time.
We gotta cool him down.

Everybody's counting on me
and it's not working.

But we have to give it time to work.

Okay, you're freaking out.

This one's cold.

It's working.

What did you do differently
with this one?

The bowl. It's aluminium.

God, plastic's an insulator.
I'm so stupid.

- So we just need more of these, right?
- Yeah.

Anything metal. Pie tins, anything.

I'll get them from the kitchen.

We got ice!

- Don't shoot.
- Hey!

I'm a doctor. I'm unarmed.

On your knees.

Who are you?

I can help your friend.

What's your name?

What's your name?
Don't make me ask you again.

Eric. Eric Green.

I'm a doctor.

- The Red Cross brought me here.
- To shoot at me?

- That wasn't me.
- Who was it?

The guys in that muscle car?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Where are they?

Where are they?

They're in the therapy room
downstairs.

There's three or four of them.

Get them.

Your man lost a lot of blood.

I can help him.

Get up.

Fire in the hole!

- Clear left.
- Clear right.

Room's empty. Move out.

All right, we need something
to cut his shirt.

Something sterile.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm just getting something
for the pain.

He can handle the pain.

Just get to work.

Oh, no!

You people drafted my husband
into your police force,

and now you're suspecting him
of being a criminal.

We're not suspecting anything.
We just want to know--

Yeah, who's in your town.
Yeah, I heard.

This has been unpleasant
for all of us.

Yeah, some more than others.

I found something.

Darcy.

I'm gonna need a minute alone
with Mr. Anderson.

- Hey, let's go.
- Go on. Come on.

- Car's out front.
- No.

No, this is on me.

Hey, they'll kill you. Come on.

I don't care. I deserve this.

I emptied my gun up there too.

Now go. Let me do this.

Come on, go!

- Where's Payton?
- He's not coming.

Why didn't you just tell me
you were a federal agent?

How do you even know
that that badge is real?

I guess I don't.

The fakes are usually
made of aluminium.

It's cheaper, lighter.

If it's heavy,

that's how you know.

Don't just assume

that because somebody
has one of these that it is real.

Especially not these days.

- But why didn't you say anything?
- Because I don't know you.

I don't know who I can trust.

You see, the Bureau was tracking

some suspicious contacts
between unknown people

in this area of Kansas

and terrorist groups abroad.

- What kind of contacts?
- Payphone calls.

Money transfers.

You know, I was relocated

to investigate undercover,
Mr. Anderson.

And as far as I'm concerned,
I am still on the job,

so I would appreciate
your discretion.

No, of course.
Jimmy's the only one who knows.

- I'll make sure it stays that way.
- Good.

The people who did this,
they will try to hit us again.

We can't let that happen.

From now on, we keep an open line
with one another.

Okay, then.

Man, it's been a long day.

If you don't mind...

I'm just happy to have you
on the team, Mr. Hawkins.

I'm very sorry for the intrusion.

You do not have to apologise
for anything.

You did good work.

Is he...?

Barely. Just hurry.

Okay. Let's go.

April. This is Dr. Kenchy.

April Green. Did you get the Cipro?

This is Levaquin.
It will go directly into his system.

Are we in time?

Well, if his body is strong enough,
we will know by morning.

He's strong enough.

You're gonna be all right, Dad.

You're going to be okay, sweetheart.

It was a nice job.

You got the key?

Thank you.

I know you're one of the good guys.

Thanks for staying with my mom.

Glad to help.

She's being humble.
She saved your father's life.

Well, you guys get some sleep.

What'd you see out there?

Another time.

Good night.

Good night.

What's all this stuff?

I don't know.

How are you feeling?

Honestly?

Couldn't tell you.

You'll be okay.

All right?

You'll get through this.

You're a much better person
than I am,

so I know you'll be fine.

I don't know if I'm a better person.

I'm in love with Mary Bailey.

But you knew that, didn't you?

I'm gonna tell April.

Life's too short, right?

Whatever you do,
I'm sure it'll be the right thing.

Let's get some rest.

Where's my jacket?

I don't know.
Did you leave it in the car?

Jake, I left my jacket back there.

The wallet is in the jacket.
The address.

What if those guys come here?

No, those guys are dead, all right?
Payton took care of it.

Don't worry.

- Sorry I screwed up.
- You did great out there today.

Get some sleep.
We'll worry about it tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

Good. See to that.

Mount up, boys. We're moving out.

"Jericho."

We're clear. Let's go.
