Tron: Uprising s01e04 Episode Script
Blackout
Accessing archived data As the occupation settles in Greetings programs.
This is General Tesler.
Tron finds an unlikely ally.
Beck be the next Tron.
And Beck struggles to keep his mystery a secret.
Stop! Programs.
But not everyone is a fan of Beck's alter ego.
Who do you think you are? He's good, but he's no Tron.
This renegade, Tron, whoever he is.
He's causing a lot of problems.
I think we all know where this is going.
Don't like being taken against your will? Guess what? Neither do they.
Hey, I know you.
From the park.
Do you remember me? I'm the one who derezzed your friend.
- Bodhi.
- I remember.
And you never gonna hurt anyone again.
You're derezzed.
Tron: Uprising 1x04 Blackout We need to go again.
Let's try it in Argon Square.
Loading simulation 7.
- Did pretty good up until then.
- Then you got derezzed.
Pretty good won't cut it.
- You showed your face.
- Mask gets itchy.
You let your emotions get the best of you.
Now, let's go again.
I can't.
Got a job, remember? Able will kill me if I'm late.
You know this whole fight for freedom thing would be easier if I could tell my friends what I'm doing.
All telling them will do is drag them into this fight and put them in the crosshairs.
Do you wanna get them derezzed? This fight isn't about you, it's about them.
Now, let's go again.
- What was that? - I don't know.
But you'll find out.
You want time off? Again? You know it's only a job.
I'm sorry, it's a personal thing.
Hard to talk about.
- Beck, you can tell me.
- I I can't.
What the Oh, great.
So, about that time off.
No can do.
With these blackouts I need all hands on deck.
Okay If you can get someone to cover you.
Thanks.
Zed just finished his shift.
I'll get him to pull a double.
Zed? Zed.
Zed? So, I'm in? Oh, you're in.
But you're gonna wish you weren't.
Good luck, kid.
Zed, what were you doing with those programs? Agh, can you keep a secret? Yeah, I think I can handle that.
- What's going on? You're in trouble? - No, nothing like that.
It's the Argon race.
It's no longer through the city.
Bartik and Hopper found some tunnels that run under the Outlands.
- You think you can beat those guys? - I know I can.
Look what I built.
Okay That is pretty impressive.
I added an overdrive.
30% faster than anything anyone's used before.
- You know you're little crazy? - So you won't tell anyone? - That you're crazy? Nah.
That's already out there.
- About the race.
Sure, but you gotta do something for me.
- Cover my shift.
It's about to start.
- Why can't you do your shift? Just don't feel like working, so Deal? Look, will you just do it for me? You're getting real lazy lately.
Takes practice.
You're the best.
Where is he going in a blackout? Why is the drill off? How are we gonna mine the energy? With good intentions? - Turn it on.
- The mining caused the blackout downtown.
I was trying to prevent casualties.
Since when do I care if few programs get derezzed.
Yeah.
Since when do we care? Now restart the drill.
Pavel, take over from here.
I think you're better suited.
Wait, what? You've been sloppy lately.
Extremely.
I think I found the source of our blackouts.
Greed and stupidity.
Dangerous combination.
- If that drill goes down and hits the energy pool.
- We'll lose all our power.
Our lives.
Tesler's about to cause a massive explosion that will destroy Argon.
So we kill the drill.
What would I do? Blast through those guards? Take it out? - You wouldn't make it.
- Hey.
You wouldn't.
You need to enter through the tunnels.
- Tunnels? - Yes.
Plant this on the drill to cause a meltdown.
When it goes critical, make sure you're far away.
Tron, these tunnels.
The Argon race is about to start Inside them.
Then go.
Now.
Stop that drill or no one will be finishing that race.
It should be here.
Or up there.
Hope you pack a punch.
The bomb.
Paige may have tolerated your incompetence, but I won't.
There is new boss in charge.
Me! That's right you're looking at him.
The Big Cheese, the Head Honcho, King of the Hill, Numero Uno Zed.
Welcome to the Argon race.
The only rule, there are no rules.
Programs Rez you engines.
Can I get a do over? Oh, great.
Come on.
That's all you've got? It It was the renegade.
Oh no I'm too late.
Think fast Beck.
Three down, one to go.
You ready to go now? See you, ladies.
This race is over.
What do you care what we do? There's a drill at the end of the tunnel with a bomb on it.
When it goes off an inferno will rip through here.
Now, go! I don't have time to be messing with you renegade, so we gonna go.
What? What about the race? - What do you care? You were losing anyway.
- No, I wasn't.
A bomb, huh? I'll take care of that.
Thanks for the tip.
Sorry about this.
Hey! Hey, I built that you know! Oh, be careful! This drill isn't going fast enough.
Speed it up, you imbecile! Danger.
Energy core unstable.
Please evacuate all personnel.
- Get back to work.
- Sir? If it was serious there would have been Core meltdown in 30, 29, 28 Countdown - You don't know what you're doing.
- I'm bringing order to the Grid.
I don't think you know what you're doing.
17, 16 Perhaps I should supervise from a safe distance.
Warm up the engines! You hear that? If that bomb detonates while we're still in these tunnels, we both die.
- I'm trying to save you life.
- Agh! It doesn't need saving.
8, 7, 6, 5 4, 3, 2 Energy core overload.
Go! Go! What? Keep going, it won't hold for long.
Your bike's not fast enough.
- Get on.
- In your dreams.
Get on! I just saved you life a thanks would be nice.
- Agh.
- Thanks.
- Really? You need that? - It's not for you.
Saved your life, again.
Let's just finish this.
We may not have to.
See you around.
He took Paige out in the explosion.
They were both derezzed.
But I kept my head about me and saved our entire battalion.
Interesting.
Don't feel derezzed.
- You're alive? I mean, it's a miracle.
- And the renegade? Survived too, but I've got an idea how to handle him.
Hey, Mara told me what happened.
- How you doing? - I'm okay.
- Able got you working late? - Nah.
Just making a new bike.
Which thanks to the renegade is how I'm spending my free time.
He stole my old one.
I I think he's just trying to make things better.
How come every time he tries to make things better, they get worse for me? Zed, there is something I wanna tell you Yeah? Word around town, you would have won the race.
Thanks.
What's up, Zed? - What do you want? - Let me get this straight.
You made this and the other one.
- From the race.
- You mean the one the renegade stole? - Yeah - Mm, can you make more? - What does it look like I'm doing? - Huh, I like this guy.
- You got attitude.
- We could use someone like you.
- For what? - To stop the renegade.
I'm putting together a team to hunt him down.
Are you in? Citizens of Argon.
The nightmare is over.
The plot to sap your energy has been foiled.
And we know the culprit.
It was a work of a miscreant, who wears this profanity.
The mark of the traitor, the mark of Tron.
But fear not, Tron is dead.
And I assure you this imposter, this this renegade will be brought to justice.
Never forget we are here for you.
Yeah! Tesler! Tesler! Tesler! Excellent work, Paige.
Any more ideas? I have a few.
If we prevail in this conflict, they'll understand.
