Tron: Uprising s01e08 Episode Script

The Reward

Accessing archive data Tesler continues to bring peace and order to Argon.
Hey, you can't just take my disc like that! Stand down.
Or you will be derezzed.
While Zed is preoccupied with more important matters.
Hmm Page forms a taskforce to hunt down Renegade.
We're here as representatives of Tesler's army.
As Tesler's fondness for the Renegade reaches new heights.
Seal the ship! Stop him!!! 1x08 - The Reward Help me, please! Help me, please! I'm reclaiming Argon.
It's mine! There's no going back! [ chuckling .]
[ growling .]
What will it take to do away with you? No! [ grunting .]
Do away with me? You and what army? [ laughing .]
Yeah it's over, Renegade.
[ chuckles .]
Think again.
It's only the beginning.
No! No!!! [ gasps .]
[ panting .]
The Grid: Now exiting slate mode.
Have a pleasant cycle.
Failure is no longer an option.
I want the Renegade brought to his knees, and I want it done now.
- How can I help? - You can't! This time I intend to play the odds.
Let someone else flush out the Renegade Someone more attuned to the streets.
I await your orders, your sagaciousness.
Well, keep waiting! I am turning over the task of catching the Renegade - to the programs of Argon.
- What? Get everybody to the Coliseum! And I mean everybody! Tesler: You are here because a terrorist lives among you.
And your failure to identify him makes you a complic in his crimes! But I offer you a chance for redemption.
Citizens of Argon, bring me the Renegade.
Of course, bringing him to justice is your civic duty and should we reward enough, but since I always put my programs first, I offer you this: The VL-1 Expressor, the only roadster to outrun a lightjet.
Provide us with information leading to the capture of the Renegade, and this remarkable vehicle could be yours! And that's not all! To further our efforts of achieving a Renegade-free Argon, the curfew is lifted.
Hey! I've got your Renegade right here! Congratulations, programs, and happy hunting.
[ crowd roars .]
Wow.
And then that happened.
Nothing's changed.
If anything, we press harder.
I'm sorry.
Did you not see any of that? Everyone's looking to turn me in and collect the reward.
It's a desperate move on Tesler's part.
You can use it against him.
No.
I say we lay low for a while.
Take a break.
- Beck.
- I don't have a choice.
It's too dangerous.
[ sighs .]
Okay.
Part of learning to lead a revolution is knowing when to proceed and when to wait.
- I'll defer to you on this one.
- Finally.
[ crash .]
Huh? - What what's going on? - Submit, program.
- Who are you?! - It's him! My neighbor! He's the Renegade! Based on the unbiased testimony of your neighbor, you are hereby suspected of being the Renegade.
- I'm not the Renegade! I'm innocent! - Put him with the others.
- I didn't do it! - Over here! It's him! The Renegade! - Come with us.
- It's not me! - It's not me! - Keep moving.
Sectors 3 through 5 reporting.
All suspects en route.
That's it.
Let's wrap it up.
Yeah, great.
Ninety more Renegades to interrogate.
- Just what we needed.
- Is that a complaint, soldier? If so, I'm sure the General would be thrilled to hear your grievance.
Uh, no.
No, sir.
Happy to serve.
Back off, Pavel.
You hated Tesler's idea too.
Oh, Paige.
You poor, deranged creature.
The Renegade's changed everything.
There's no going back to the way things were.
I'm telling you, if this works, Tesler will make sweeping changes, and you and I will be the first to be replaced.
You're just being paranoid.
Come on, we're done.
Beck: No curfew? Please.
Tesler's troops have taken over everything.
Zed: Told you so.
Been this way for a while now.
Of course, you'd know that if you hung out with us like you used to.
- Zed.
- It's okay, Mara.
It doesn't matter.
Not much you could do about it anyway, it's all the Renegade's fault.
- Unless you are the Renegade.
- Very funny.
You got me.
Please, please! I don't want to spend the night talking about the Renegade.
- I want to celebrate instead.
- Program: I'm not the Renegade! Really? Doesn't seem like there's much to celebrate anymore.
How about the fact that we're finally spending some free time together? Out on the town, with no curfew hanging over our heads, just like old times.
Yeah.
Exactly like old times.
But Mara's right.
We got the night off.
Come on, zed.
Let's go have some fun.
You were kidding about being the Renegade, right? If you were mine, I'd polish you every night.
What if I told you I could make your dream a reality? Commander Pavel, at your service.
I don't get it.
Why would you help me win the roadster? Don't be so humble, citizen.
In these trying times, Argon needs a hero to look up to, someone who represents the population, Someone utterly ordinary like yourself.
Thanks.
I have information that will lead to the capture of the Renegade.
But I am hardly as ordinary as you.
If I swoop in and claim the glory that is rightly mine, who benefits? Well, then tell me, and I'll report it! [chuckles.]
Great minds think alike.
[ music .]
This can't be happening.
This was our place.
- Hey! - You have a problem, program? No! No problem.
We're on our way out.
- Don't come back.
- I won't.
Beck, stop it.
What are you doing? You trying to get us sent to the games? Well, so much for old times.
I'm going home.
No.
I don't want to give up yet.
Beck, Mara's right.
It's not the same anymore.
See ya.
Ow! Hey, what's going on? Based on the unbiased testimony of this bold Argon patriot, you are hereby suspected of being the Renegade! [ all gasp .]
I knew it! That roadster could have been mine! Submit, program.
Come on! You're making a mistake! I'm not the Renegade! I'm innocent! I'm innocent! Yes, of course, exactly right.
I'm sure the contents of your disc will verify all of that.
Ha ha! Long live Clu! Why could Link accuse Hopper of being the Renegade? Hopper's not the Renegade.
He's a pain, but not that big of a pain.
It's sick.
All this reward has done is turn programs against each other.
I need to talk to Link and get to the bottom of this.
Good idea.
Let's go.
- No.
You two stay here.
- But Talk to Bartik.
He can't really believe his friend is the Renegade.
He must know more.
Uh, Bartik and I don't really see eye-to-eye.
Fist-to-eye, maybe.
- The fight that's it! - Huh? What? Beck, wait! Did I miss something? Pavel arrested Hopper! He says he's the Renegade! - What are you talking about? - I feel so betrayed! I can't stay in here any longer.
I need air.
- Bartik, wait! - I need air! Who are you? What do you want? - Hopper's not the Renegade.
- And we can prove it.
[ distorted voice in distance .]
Hopper's voice: Ninety more Renegades to interrogate.
Just what we need.
Gorn, did I mention I was in a hurry? I'm in a hurry!!! I'm sure a wise program like yourself understands that such dangerous work requires great skill and patience.
Blah blah blah.
Don't test me, Gorn.
You'll be handsomely rewarded if it works! N-n-n-ninety more Ninety more Renegades to interrogate.
Tesler, you're pathetic.
Come and get me.
Delicious.
If Tesler wants a citizen to do my job, then so be it! Now come! We have an innocent life to ruin.
This is the Renegade? [ whimpering .]
- One of our own?! - Tragic, isn't it, sir? Clearly, he's a malicious malcontent with only one purpose in mind to see you choke on your own iron fist.
Speaking figuratively sir.
This program who turned him in, this Lint It's Link, sir.
Right, Lint.
Do you trust him? I do.
He's a true hero of Argon, and I have to say, the evidence speaks for itself.
I'm free! Thank you! Tesler, you're pathetic.
Come and get me.
Hopper: That's not me! [ whimpering .]
Please! I would never say anything like that! I-I don't think you're pathetic at all! Stop your sniveling! I've spent far too many sleepless cycles imagining this moment to have it end like this! I expected a far more worthy adversary.
But you're nothing but a coward! [ growling .]
You're no Tron.
Now take him away.
[ chuckling .]
[ revs engine .]
[ onlookers commenting .]
Hey.
Yeah.
- Nice job catching the Renegade.
- Huh?! Don't hit me! It wasn't my idea! It was - Pavel.
- Paige! What an unwelcome and completely predictable surprise.
Spare me.
I know what you're up to.
You're trying to embarrass Tesler in front of Clu.
Lies! You want him to arrest the wrong program.
You want him to appear incompetent when dealing with the Renegade.
And you want Clu to see it and replace Tesler - with you.
- Scintillating.
I must admit, your incredibly vivid imagination is quite entertaining.
- Is it? - Mechanics? You've arrested the wrong program.
The night you fought the Renegade in our garage, Hopper was there he couldn't possibly be the Renegade.
Tesler: Pavel, I had an idea regarding the Renegade's exe What's this? - Sir, these programs - Are Renegade sympathizers! Both: Sympathizers?! That's not true! General, allow me to explain.
We're only trying to help! You've got the wrong program in custody! He's innocent! You're questioning my judgment? - Sir, if I may speak on their behalf - You may not! Since you care so much about my prisoner, you can join him! Guards, arrest these programs! I want them strung up! Take them to Argon square, now.
Just tell me one more time and I'll get it right, no mistakes this time, I promise.
Okay, for the last time, the plan is this: You and your roadster will appear at Hopperer's execution like they've asked you to.
But when I get there, you'll pop up, Club me over the head, and reveal yourself as the true Renegade.
In front of everyone, proving Hopper's innocence.
Got it? Can we talk about the clubbing-over-the-head part again? Tesler: Programs of Argon your night I is over They've already started.
The Renegade has been unmasked! Zed! Mara! And the order that Clu demands has been restored.
We have won.
[ crowd roars .]
Let the public deresolutions begin.
[ cheering .]
Does this mean we need a new plan? [ engine revs .]
Hey, wait! This is my new car! Be careful! Don't forget to use the blinkers! [ crowd roars .]
[ groaning .]
I'm innocent! [ revs engine .]
[ groaning .]
Beck: You gotta be kidding me.
I don't have time for this.
- Sir, I beg you.
Please reconsider.
- Pavel: Nonsense.
Clu will be so proud of you General.
Silence! Not another word from either of you! I want to enjoy this.
[ crowd roars .]
[ brakes screech .]
Good-bye, Renegade.
[ all groaning .]
Zed? It's gonnb be okay, Mara, just close your eyes.
- Tell me, is that - Paige: The Renegade? [ crowd roaring .]
Zed, there's something I need to say before it's too late.
Okay.
Tell me.
You've always been a good friend to me the best, actually but sometimes I wish we You wish we'd what? What are you waiting for?! Stop him! Showtime.
Mara: It's him! It's the Renegade! This is fantastic! Mara, as you were saying just a moment ago Okay, Mara.
What were you about to say? Mara, focus.
Could have what? [ screaming .]
Sir, I Don't ever bring this up again.
I think we lost him.
Everybody okay? I'm alive! The Renegade saved me! He wait.
The Renegade.
You're the Renegade! Mara: Zed? [ blow lands, Hopper groans .]
Like I said, it's the only way I can connect with these guys.
[ laughs .]
Oh! This is incredible! - Thank you.
You saved our lives.
- Yeah, thanks, I guess.
Though this is sort of all your fault to begin with.
Zed, admit it.
You're enjoying yourself.
- But - But nothing.
We just outran a missile in a stolen roadster with the Renegade.
When's the last time we had this much fun together? Yeah I just wish Beck were here.
Beck.
He would have loved this.
This is where we part.
Remember, Tron lives.
Whoa! Mara! About what you said back on the platform The platform.
What did I say? You said we never mind.
- I thought you were taking time off.
- Easier said than done, I guess.
Tron: Maybe another time.
