[to Heather] The resistance in New Bern has placed a bounty on your head. We were sent to collect it. Is there a place we can talk?

So why not just blow the whistle? What do you need me for?
I don't need you. I need your bomb.

Punish Goetz in New Bern, we show Beck we're not going away any time soon.
I know things are bad, but the minute you threw in with Constantino you gave up the high ground. Beck's gonna fight you. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna be helping him do it.
When April died all I could think about was I hadn't done enough. That it was my fault.
When my parents died I did that. I blamed myself, and I hated myself for being alive. But there was this little girl to take care of.
I know that this is harder. When your parents died, that was an accident. An act of God.
Aren't they all?
BBeck
The Rangers are now considered fugitives. I want all of them.
Good luck finding them.
BBeck
Until they're produced I'm declaring Jericho to be in a state of open insurrection. Lights, power, food supplies... 9 pm tonight, I'm shutting it all down.
We've lived without that stuff before; we'll do it again.
BBeck
[about capturing the Rangers] How long and how much this town suffers is up to its citizens. Somebody knows where those men are.
The Rangers were saving lives back when you couldn't have found Jericho on a map.
Explain this to me. I hurt everybody that was ever close to me and I get a second chance, but Stanley... Stanley never hurt a soul in his life...
GGrandpa
And he lost everything.
How is that right?
GGrandpa
Life doesn't...
...work on a balance sheet, I know. But it should.
GGrandpa
And your punishment is to sit in this hole and die. How does that bring back Bonnie? Or the Stanley you knew? Or the little girl in Iraq?
It's a start.
GGrandpa
It's an ending!
What choice do I have?
GGrandpa
The answer is Beck.
I don't even know where to start with him. And he's too stubborn to listen.
GGrandpa
Your father said that about you once. You turned out real nice.
It's not about convincing one man he's wrong. It's a... it's a whole system.
GGrandpa
You think it's impossible? This has all happened before. If the names weren't Jennings & Rall, they would be names like... the British East India Trading Company. If it wasn't Ravenwood, it'd be the Hessian Mercenaries. And it all comes down to the same thing...
Revolution.
It's my fault. No one else's. I'm the sheriff. I...
BBeck
You were sheriff.
I'm the only one to blame. The only one, so my terms are simple. My surrender for the amnesty of the other Rangers.
BBeck
I accept your surrender. [Pauses] But not the terms.
[prepping to retrieve the bomb] I'm asking for your help but I can't afford for you to go off book out there and I don't have any room for debate, so if you've got any questions, now's the time.
Yeah, I've got a question. How do we find the bomb?
No idea. Anything else?
He said this government is corrupt and illegitimate. That it lied about who attacked us to seize power.
BBeck
You're naive.
And you're a coward.
BBeck
Excuse me?
You know there's something wrong with this country, and you refuse to open your eyes and see it.
What happens in the next few hours could determine the course of things for years to come. Y'know, maybe our history for the next hundred years. That is the responsibility we got here. And if that comes at a terrible cost, then so be it, because that's the only way things get better and the way people stay free. That's why I do what I do.
I think we started a war today. Let me guess, not your first?
Jake, this war was coming with or without us. I just hope we did enough to make it a fair fight.
So how does it feel?
What?
Making history.
