Jeremiah (2002)

The Long Road (1)

The wanderer Jeremiah comes to the market community Clairfield, looking to barter for supplies and maybe get a lead on the whereabouts of the Valhalla Sector. The place is run by the beautiful Theo, a woman obsessed with getting her hands on as much knowledge and technology as possible. When her guards discover a well-maintained, fueled car hidden nearby, she's sure the owner can lead her to the jackpot. Pity those who should get in the way.

The Long Road (2)

Jeremiah and Kurdy make their way towards Thunder Mountain, hoping to find whoever Simon was working for.

Man of Iron, Woman Under Glass

Jeremiah and Kurdy's first trip comes to an abrupt end as they're forced to crash the car to avoid running down a young man in a strange costume. Introducing himself as "Captain Iron", he assures them that the crash was unnecessary, as he's invulnerable, and was only trying to warn them about the bandits in the area. Meanwhile, Marcus has trouble with Erin, his second in command, who's determined to find out what he's hiding in a restricted part of the Thunder Mountain complex.

...And the Ground, Sown with Salt

Jeremiah and Kurdy are captured by Michael and his men, who operate out of a local military base. Michael has concluded that God is dead, and it's about time someone took his place... by any means...

To Sail Beyond the Stars

While trying to track down info on "the Burners", a mysterious group that's burning down whole settlements in seemingly random fashion, Jeremiah encounters a woman who's stealing all the gas she can get her hands on, and Kurdy ends up helping a pregnant girl, against his better judgment.

The Bag

Reece, the son of a medical doctor, travels the land with his smooth-talking brother Jake rendering aid with the help of his father's medical bag. Purdy and Jeremiah are rendezvousing with an informant, Jimmy, and meet a man and his pregnant girlfriend--the girlfriend is having a troubled labor. Reece is pretty much bluffing it based on what he saw of his father and what is in the medical bag. When the bag is stolen by a gang, Reece is totally lost. Jeremiah tells him to get his act together while Purdy and a reluctant Jake go and get the bag and rescue Jimmy, who will need Reece's help as well. Reece puts together some crude acupuncture needles and helps the woman without the bag. Reece can't save Jimmy, who was a guinea pig for a vaccine against the Big Death...which may be coming back. He dies before he can tell Jeremiah anything useful. But his blood, with the vaccine, may prove useful.

City of Roses

Jeremiah and Kurdy travel in search of more information on the Big Death and Valhalla Sector. They rescue a rape victim from skinheads and take her to Thunder Mountain. This seems to trigger off childlhood memories of his parents' death for Kurdy. After Jeremiah helps the victim come to terms, he drops Kurdy off at his childhood apartment where he meets his childhood babysitter. Jeremiah goes to visit a doctor doing research on a vaccine for the Big Death, whose test subjects died earlier (in "The Bag"). Kurdy soon remembers first that his father shot his mother, and then that she did so at his mother's request because she was dying of the virus: Kurdy's father killed his wife and then shot himself.

Firewall

Kurdy and Jeremiah find a recon team in enviro suits and capture one prisoner...Quantrell, who commanded Thunder Mountain before the Big Death, when Markus and his father worked there as well. While Quantrell is enigmatic about where he came from, Markus flashes back to when his mother arrived at the quarantined military base and Quantrell left her outside. Markus' father insisted on going out to be his wife, exposing the base. Quantrell escaped to Valhalla Sector. Quantrell's people are tracking him by an implanted GPS tracker and Quantrell warns that now his people are going to emerge an take over. Meanwhile, Lee is apparently working for someone else and lets the enigmatic Ezekiel in to Thunder Mountain. Ezekiel first meets Jeremiah and claims they are brothers. He is also somehow connected to Quantrell but kills him. After arguing, Markus is prepared to kill Quantrell at Jeremiah's insistence but find him dead. With Quantrell's death, the Valhalla helicopters have no way to track him and leave, and Ezekiel departs the way he came with no one the wiser. Markus decides to become more active in response to the threat of Valhalla Sector.

The Red Kiss

Jeremiah and Kurdy attempt to save a community when its children begin disappearing amid a rumor that the blood of children can be used to prevent the return of The Big Death.

Journeys End in Lovers Meeting

Jeremiah and Kurdy befriend a group of people dedicated to nonviolence who are searching for what they call a New World. While the pair thwart the group's takeover by a band of ruthless and cunning thieves, it is ultimately the misguided group's own leadership that may lead to their undoing.

Thieves' Honor

The Touch

Jeremiah and Kurdy arrive in Mayfair and find the townspeople dead of cyanide. In the next town of New Hope they find the locals have an aversion to touching. The Elders ruthlessly enforce the law, making anyone who disobeys their edicts "disobey." When the people they befriend start disappearing, Jeremiah intervenes and is taken away where he finds out the offenders are stoned to death. Both towns are an "experiment" in determining how the original virus was transmitted, and the Elders destroyed Mayfair when they "failed." Jeremiah and Kurdy break free and expose the Elders' scheme to the unsuspecting townfolk. Meanwhile, back at the base Marcus takes ill from an undiagnosed disease and begins suffering hallucinations of a Native Indian - Lee pushes the matter before the Council to determine the line of succession and fails.

Mother of Invention

Jeremiah and Kurdy are sent to contact an elusive group led by a mysterious "Steve" but get captured. One of his captors is Michelle, a woman he met (in flashback) back at his empty home five years ago after his brother died. They were intimately involved back then, and we find out she's the one who gave Jeremiah the idea for writing notes to his dead father. In the present it turns out "Steve" is Michelle. Her operation is working heavily to get knowledge out, and she also has a 5-year old son. One guy accuses Michelle of skimming and the guys follow her and find out she's collecting art, and agrees to work with Thunder Mountain. Then Michelle comes back to lay down the law on the guy who accused her of skimming and the guys head out with as Jeremiah and Michelle think about getting together in the future.

Jeremiah's "choice", Penny, wants him to fight in a bare-knuckle match for her freedom but Kurdy overhears that it's a plan to get revenge on Theo by killing them and takes Jeremiah's place. Kurdy manages to win and Polly has them take her to her daughter China at...a local circus (which explains the elephant).

They meet the "librarian", Edgar, and Kurdy stays to help him learn to read and fend off zealots who are convinced that books are the root of all evil. Jeremiah goes to meet his friend Red (from The Long Road) and embarks on a journey with his girlfriend Maggie, a wheelchair-bound woman determined to deliver her father's ashes to the remote island where she was raised.

Elizabeth hears from Theo where the guys are and goes to see them, unaware she's followed by the military types.

The Brothers didn't reveal anything because they were mislead by Lee, and direct Jeremiah to Valhalla Sector near Milhaven. Elizabeth arrives and Ezekial, also present, warns her too late as the military attack. Elizabeth is wounded and though they all escape with Ezekial's help, a furious Kurdy chooses to take Elizabeth to Thunder Mountain for aid rather then accompany Jeremiah and Ezekial any further.

Things Left Unsaid (2)

Kurdy goes to Phil ,one of Theo's "brain boys" to get help for Elizabeth, but she doesn't make it – before she dies she tells Kurdy it wasn't Jeremiah's fault and that the men who attacked her plan to ambush Markus and the others. Jeremiah travels to Millhaven against Ezekial's advice and meets with Wiley. He reveals Millhaven is a major transfer point for Valhalla Sector and reveals it was a shelter for big wigs and Jeremiah's father Devon was one of the two researchers who created the Big Death virus and was planning to reveal it was a government creation. Wiley reveals that Devon created a vaccine for the virus but refused to turn it over to Valhalla Sector so they couldn't use it as a weapon. Valhalla Sector continued its own testing with various communities (such as the one in ‘The Touch") and came up with a vaccine, but it spreads the mutated form that kills everyone.
