Jericho · Season 1
This is my family, Sarah.
It never mattered before.
Yeah, well, now it does.
What’s it going to take, someone slitting your wife’s throat before you get it?
Hey, Hey…..You’re right. We will drop them at the safe house and then we’ll keep moving.
It’s the right thing for them.
Yeah.
How can I be sure you won’t follow me?
I won’t follow you.
Not if I take your son with me you won’t.
My God.
I’ll leave him just outside of town.
Hey.
Our own personal escort out of town?
Look, you’re a smart girl; you need to get out before these guys get you killed.
And go where? Towns aren’t taking refugees and there’s only one thing they want women for.
Stay here, all right, you’ll be safe.
It’s not going to work, not after the story we told.
Not now, Mimi.
Like hell right now, Cornhusker.
Cornhuskers are from Nebraska, I’m a Jayhawker...What? What?
You drive me so crazy and you know that I can’t stay here forever but, the truth is I can’t live without you, either.
Really?
Yes, really.
[Stanley kisses Mimi]
In this crazy world, we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow and I don’t wanna leave anything unsaid, so I’m just going to say it, okay? So here I go..
I’ve loved you since the first day I saw you at Bailey’s.
You said it…you said it first. No one’s ever said it first to me before.
I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, plus I can hold it over you for the rest of our lives. [kisses Mimi]
I love you Stanley Richmond.
But I said it first. [kisses Mimi]
Honey, you look tired, you getting enough sleep?
Almost seven hours.
Where?
In my office.
Sleeping in your office doesn’t count. You’re going to give the baby a crick in its neck.
You’re going to make a terrific grandmother.
I know.
I’ll pick you up at 5:00
I’ll walk.
Look, Stanley thinks that you’re using this whole volunteering thing as an excuse to go see Sean Henthorn. I’m just following orders to keep an eye on you; personally I don’t give a damn who you date.
I’ve been volunteering here since I was 16, it’s not about Sean. You volunteered for anything? Ever?
I’m so cold my mouth is numb.
We need the logs or we’re going to freeze to death.
Isn’t that what we are doing now?
All right. Let’s get in the car. A blanket.
Let’s turn on the heat.
We can’t I’m sorry, we won’t have enough gas to get home. You know we could make our own heat.
Don’t get any ideas I ‘m not taking my clothes off.
You know how happy you make me.
I’m still not taking my clothes off.
Ma’am, there are empty houses all over Jericho and we sleep in a shelter.
Those are our neighbors’ homes. They were gone when the bombs went off. They’re coming back!
Well, wherever your neighbors are, I hope nobody’s kicking them out of town in the middle of winter.
[to townsfolk about evicting the refugees] You can’t let them go out there. A woman died on Main Street today. I didn’t even know her name. Did you? Think of our neighbors who didn’t make it back yet. That’s who they are! Now my family can feed two people. Who else here is willing to share their rations?
You can't do this Gray, I have given these people sanctuary.
This is a police matter now.
You have no right to assault these people, they have committed no crime. They will be my responsibility.
What, are you going to feed them? Have you got a little hospital down there Reverend? No, I didn't think so!
So...I just wanted to know how you were doing. Settling in okay at Jimmy's place.
Yeah, he just never stops talking.
No [chuckles] he doesn't. How's Sam?
You know, he gets scared.
And you?
I'm fine.
Look, that thing you had to do to Sarah...I know how that can change people.
Dad, don't worry about me. I'm not Sam, and I'm not Mom. So... you're not going to live with us anymore, are you?
I don't think it's a good idea right now.
Then don't worry. I'll take care of them.
Hey, hey, hey. Come here. [He grabs and hugs her] You are not me.
In New York, the terrorists who were apprehended were all carrying nearly-perfect fake FBI badges. Their identities have not been released. Authorities have increased security at all critical sites. Counter-terrorist forces are working to capture those responsible. In the meantime, all citizens are encouraged to be vigilant. As we receive more information, we'll bring it to you. Until then, all news is local. Take care of each other, Kansas.
[to the chicken she is about to slaughter] So it’s come to this. I want you to know that this is nothing to do with you personally. I’m sure you’re wonderful. But, let’s be honest here. You’re the one that lays the fewest eggs and I distinctly told all of you that this was going to happen. I believe I made myself perfectly clear in that regard...Here's my concern. I've heard stories about how you're going to react to this and if I see half of you running around, well I just know that I'm going to freak out. So if you could do your best to minimize that part of it, well I'd just really appreciate it.
[to class] Five months ago this was a map of our country. Now it’s an antique. It’s a picture of the way things used to be.
