Revolution s01e09 Episode Script

We lived in an electric world.
We relied on it for everything.
And then the power went out.
Everything stopped working.
We weren't prepared.
Fear and confusion led to panic.
The lucky ones made it out of the cities.
The government collapsed.
Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons.
We still don't know why the power went out, but we're hopeful that someone will come and light the way.
Previously on Revolution Danny's gone.
- You gotta come with me.
- I can't.
Please.
This is Miles Matheson.
Commanding general of the militia.
General Monroe.
You know him.
Yeah, very well.
You joined the rebels? Trying to bring back the United States.
I had a wife, and I couldn't protect her.
Aaron! Philadelphia.
You coming? You get across that bridge, straight shot to Danny.
You want to turn the power back on, it starts with these pendants.
Most of your colleagues are not where you said they'd be.
We did manage to find one Dr.
Bradley Jaffe.
What do you think will happen when Monroe figures out that necklace? All he cares about is weapons.
With my compliments, sir.
So now you have everything you need.
I told you, I'm a rebel from the St.
Anne unit.
Okay, look, the only thing I know about you is you got a flag tattoo and you walked in the door with Miles Matheson.
To make you a deal.
Just hear him out.
I'm Colonel Starkey.
This is Sergeant Wheatley.
Colonel and sergeant.
That's cute.
Now you rebel guys use military titles.
You got a pair of brass ones.
I mean, the Commanding General of the Monroe militia, walking in here? Retired commanding general.
Tell me why I shouldn't execute you and all your friends right now.
Because I'm gonna hand you general Monroe's head on a plate.
And just why would you do that? He's holding somebody prisoner in Philly.
It's my nephew, and there's only a handful of places they could be keeping him Every single one of them impossible to break into.
I need help And your little rebel camp is the only help around.
Right, that's just what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna send my men with you.
No.
Sir? Okay, let's say we did this Go on a suicide raid for your nephew, and you'd give us Monroe in return.
How would you do it, exactly? Well, I know his office inside and out.
I know what he eats, I know where he eats, I know the women he bangs.
I can put you right in front of him, and you know I can.
Why should we believe you? Let's just say, for a second, that I'm telling you the truth and that I can get you a clean shot at Monroe.
How do you pass that up? You look terrible.
It's part of the charm.
We're in.
We go tomorrow night.
Hey.
Hey.
Maybe you should take it easy with that.
Why would I do that? It's a big day tomorrow.
What? Nothing.
Forget it.
No, just say it.
Come on.
Well, you gotta be realistic, Charlie.
Odds are, we're gonna die tomorrow.
Yeah, well, you'll figure it out.
You always do.
What makes you so sure I know what I'm doing? What makes you so sure I ever did? What if Monroe is in our way? What if I gotta go face to face with him? What then? What do you mean? Never mind.
Miles.
Miles! You got this? Yeah, I think so.
This is the only way.
The walls around Philly are 30 feet high.
Machine gun nests.
Can't go over.
We gotta go under.
Lead the way, general.
Revolution S01 Ep09 - Kashmir Just watch your step.
Militia's got these tunnels rigged with traps.
Hey.
What? I know the colonel wanted to kill me, and I know you talked him into this, so, thanks.
You know, I used to be a gambler.
Atlantic City, mostly.
Indian Casinos, online poker.
I was a little sketchy, to tell you the truth.
But gambling teaches you to always play the odds.
I figure, best case, you'll give us Monroe.
Worst case, this is a trap, but I still manage to put a bullet in your brain.
Win-win.
So, you were with Miles when he was general, right? Yeah.
What was he like? I mean, he and Monroe, what were they like together? Why would you ask that? Miles said something about Monroe last night, and I just need to know.
They were best friends.
Grew up together.
Enlisted together.
If they were so close, the why'd Miles leave the militia? Well probably because he tried to assassinate Monroe.
That tends to drive a wedge between friends.
What happened? Miles couldn't pull the trigger.
He couldn't go through with it.
Like I said, they were best friends.
Don't move.
Everybody, freeze! Stop where you are! It's a mine.
Charlie, listen to me.
Don't move a muscle.
Mrs.
Matheson.
I never thought I'd hear music like that again.
What can I do for you, major? I'd like to introduce you to Captain Burke.
I was hoping that you'd explain to him what this machine you're building does.
Major, I really don't have time to go through all of this again.
The lives of Captain Burke and his men Boys as young as Danny May depend on this gadget you're building, so I'm afraid I have to insist.
Captain.
Ma'am.
This pendant powers up anything within its range.
It's like a wireless battery.
But the real problem is, it has very limited range Only nine or ten feet.
Enough to power a CD player.
Or a computer.
But for vehicles, weapons, you need a booster, an amplifier.
You plug the pendant into this port here.
It amplifies the range to half a mile.
Flips on tanks, jets, missiles, as long as they're within range.
When will it be ready? You mean, when will you have the ability to murder thousands of people? Soon.
I'd like to get back to work now.
You said you knew where all the traps were.
Militia must have put these in after I left.
It's all clear, ahead of this batch.
Now, get out of here before you blow yourselves up.
You guys too.
I'm not going anywhere.
Me neither.
Come on, you guys have got to get out of here.
- You're gonna get killed - Stop talking.
If you're stupid enough to stay here, hold this.
I think I got it.
Yeah? You sure? No.
Sometimes there's another mine underneath.
A trap under the trap So you're gonna step off, and if we don't get blown to bits, we're gonna run like hell, okay? Good luck, everyone.
Okay Ready? Now! I'm Aaron, by the way.
Ashley.
Nice to meet you, despite the You know, the hellish circumstances.
Can I ask you something, Ashley? Yeah.
You're, what, like, 19, and you're fighting for the United States? Yeah.
Do you even remember the United States? No.
But I remember what my dad told me.
He was from Syria.
He left because he didn't want his kids to grow up scared in their own country.
I'm doing this for him.
How come you're fighting Monroe? That's funny.
I Until right this second, it never occurred to me that I was, but you're right.
I guess I am.
- Miles? - What is it? Stay next to me.
Hold that.
He went in there.
I just I saw him.
Who? A militia scout.
He went right in there.
There's no one in there, Miles.
Well, he couldn't have just vanished into thin air.
Are you sure you're okay? I'm fine.
Well, this is the only safe way through.
Come on.
Help! My leg! It bit my leg! - Nora! Nora! - It bit my leg! - What bit your leg? - The alligator! Alligator? There's no alligator! Here.
Nora, look.
Look at your leg.
It's fine.
It didn't happen? It didn't happen.
My God, this makes sense.
How does this make sense? You saw an alligator that wasn't there.
You saw a scout that wasn't there.
You were hallucinating.
Why are we hallucinating? It's because we're running out of air.
The torches are all burning low because they're not getting enough oxygen.
When the tunnel collapsed, it sealed the air supply off.
So, we're suffocating.
And I'm pretty sure that if we're suffocating, then hallucinations are the last things that are gonna happen before we die.
How far to this exit of yours, Matheson? Girard Station.
It's it's ten minutes away.
Let's go.
Aaron, are you seeing something? No.
Are you sure? Yeah.
I'm fine.
There's nothing there.
Come on.
The stairs are up this way.
Damn it.
Militia.
They sealed off the exit.
When? A month ago, a year ago.
Does does it matter? What do we do now? I don't know.
Let me let me think.
We gotta keep moving and find a way out.
How far to the next exit? I don't know.
This is the one they were supposed to keep open for access.
There's got to be another.
There isn't.
Well, we gotta try.
She's right.
We're dead if we just sit here.
Let's go.
Miles.
Hey, hey.
Come on.
Am I, am I hallucinating? Yeah.
Yeah.
You look like hell warmed over.
Now, it's not just because you're suffocating.
You've gone to seed, my friend.
Yeah.
Well Things haven't been so easy.
You look tired, brother.
I am tired, Bass.
So, was it worth it? Leaving the militia? Trying to kill me? Why'd you do it, Miles? You went too far.
Just got to be So much blood.
Yet you still regret it.
There's a part of you Big part That wishes you could just take it all back.
No, you're wrong.
Miles, you're forgetting this is not real.
I'm in your head.
I know what you're thinking.
I know your dirty little secret, the one you don't want to tell Charlie or Nora.
What secret is that? That if I take you back, you just might do it.
You just might sell out your friends.
Fall straight back into line.
Right beside me.
You're scared, Miles.
You're scared it's going to happen.
Miles? Miles? Were you seeing things? What? No.
Just fell behind.
Let's go.
You were talking to Monroe, I heard you.
Okay, cut me some slack.
Yeah, I'm seeing things.
I'm also choking to death.
- You can't do this.
- What? Fall apart.
We won't make it without you.
We'll die down here and we'll never get to Danny.
Look, I'm sorry.
I know you didn't ask for this.
But I'm counting on you.
We all are.
So pull it together.
Let's go.
Aaron.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
Aaron.
Why won't you talk to me? I'm your wife.
I love you.
You love me.
Don't you? Please, just look at me.
Why did you leave me? You left because you couldn't protect me? Because you're weak? A coward? But look at you.
You've been strong for Charlie.
On this whole trip, you've been strong.
So why couldn't you be that strong for me? You broke my heart.
But maybe you don't care.
Maybe you never really loved me.
That's not true.
What? Nothing.
Aaron.
Aaron, what am I supposed to do without you? Aaron.
Aaron! Wait.
You see that? The torch is burning again.
It means there's got to be fresh air somewhere.
Look, that door.
It could be a service tunnel to the outside maybe.
I thought all these doors we're sealed off down here.
Take this.
Let me try.
We're getting out of here.
Some of us are.
Get back.
Monroe's going to want you alive.
You're militia.
That's right, general.
And I'm taking you home.
Up, please.
And keep your hands where I can see them.
You don't remember me, do you? I was so afraid you were going to make me.
Two years of deep cover down the drain.
The Trenton Campaign.
You pinned a medal on me.
I was proud.
I was damn proud.
General Miles Matheson shook my hand.
Here, here, here, here.
You knew that service door was there the whole time.
Yeah, I also knew the Girard Exit was sealed too.
I know these tunnels pretty well, better than you, obviously.
It's how I report back to command.
But once I saw your pretty face, I knew Monroe would want you more than anything.
Figured it was worth blowing my cover for.
I wasn't sure I could pull it off but, you know, like I said, I'm a gambler.
I always play the odds.
All right, up this way.
Keep moving.
Dad? Hey.
Nice of you to join us, sleeping beauty.
What's wrong? No, this isn't real.
I'm dreaming.
You look awake to me.
Do me a favor.
Tell Maggie and Danny dinner's ready.
Dad I thought you What? Militia killed you.
They took Danny and Maggie died.
Was I dreaming? It felt so real.
It's all over.
You're home.
And you don't ever have to leave again.
Dad, tell me you're not going anywhere.
No.
Of course not.
You okay? My head.
Why don't you lie back? Come on.
Just close your eyes, Charlie.
Just open your eyes.
Just close your eyes.
Charlie.
Open your eyes.
Charlie.
Hey.
Wake up.
Open your eyes.
Come on.
Open open your eyes.
Come on, I need you to open Open your eyes.
I don't understand.
The bullet just grazed her head.
She cracked her head when she fell.
Between that and the oxygen loss.
Charlie.
Come on.
Just, hey.
I am going to get Danny back.
I promise.
You can count on me.
Okay? But I need you to open your Just open your eyes.
Okay? Damn it, Charlie.
Just open your eyes.
Come on, open them! Open your eyes, Charlie.
Come on.
Open your eyes.
Did you hear that? Hear what? I know that voice.
Charlie.
Come on.
It's Uncle Miles.
Miles? Why'd you think of Uncle Miles? You haven't seen him since you were a kid.
That's not true.
I went to Chicago.
You sent me there.
To get Miles so that I could get Danny back.
That's what's real.
I'm dreaming.
Honey, sit down.
You're tired.
You need to rest.
I want to.
You have no idea how much I want to.
But I got to get Danny.
I love you, dad.
I want you to know how much I love you.
I think about you every day.
Please, Charlie.
Don't go.
I'm sorry.
I have to.
Come on.
Hey, kid.
You okay? How's your head? Well, if he'd aimed half an inch to the right, I think it'd be pretty bad.
I'm fine.
I think we should stay the night here.
Get you back on your feet.
You've made me sit three hours already.
I've spent enough time down here, believe me.
You saved me.
Not really.
You got shot.
I heard you calling for me.
I was I was somewhere else.
And it was really hard to leave.
If it wasn't for you, I probably would have stayed.
So, thank you.
You have any idea what's on the other side of that door? Probably walking straight into a militia ambush.
Well, that will be par for the course, at least.
You ready to do this? Are you? Not really.
But what the hell? Evening, Rachel.
Kind of busy here, Bass.
Right.
The machine.
The amplifier.
As you explained to Major Neville and Captain Burke.
Yes.
Then this machine, it, it amplifies the range of the pendant.
What's this about, Bass? You know Major Neville is an invaluable member of my team.
His instincts, his little hunches about people.
They're almost never wrong.
He had a little hunch about what you're doing here, Rachel.
So we brought in a second opinion.
One of your old colleagues.
You remember Dr.
Jaffe.
He's graciously agreed to work with us.
Brad! Brad Dr.
Jaffe.
Could you please take a look at this machine and tell us what it can do? It's an amplifier.
Brad? It's a bomb.
You're lying.
I'm sorry, Rachel, but I know what I'm looking at.
Pretty sophisticated time bomb.
The pendant acts like an electric trigger.
I'd imagine she'd set it to go off when you were here but she wasn't.
No.
No? Listen to me, listen to me.
What'd you think was going to happen, Rachel? - Just listen to me.
- You were going to kill me? You were going to escape with Danny in the chaos? We had a deal and I kept my end of the bargain but now, it's over.
I will build you another amplifier.
- There is a lot - You are dead! No! And Danny is dead.
You need me.
I need you? No, Rachel, I don't need you.
I have Dr.
Jaffe.
I have his pendant.
And he's been a hell of a lot more cooperative than you have ever been.
- Bass.
- No.
Rachel, this is over.
I don't need you anymore.
Get her out of here.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Now you need me.
