Ghosts

Previously on Revolution.
We have light, power.
It's time to let everyone know it, starting with the rebels.
You find me every rebel camp in the Republic.
- Is anybody alive? - No.
- Miles, I gotta go.
- Go where? Rebel headquarters, in downtown Annapolis.
I gotta tell them about this.
What if I was able to get the rebels' missile launchers? There's a guy I used to work with.
He can help us.
- Rachel? - Hey, John.
- How can I help you, mister - Flynn.
Randall Flynn.
The question, general, is how can we help you? Danny! I love you, Danny.
I love you to the moon and back.
Scouts just reported in From Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania.
No sign of choppers anywhere.
Looks like that kid saved our ass.
His name was Danny.
- So what now? - I'm gonna get the wounded to the field hospital in Lexington.
You take everyone else to echo base.
Regroup, patch up, then back to business as usual.
Business as usual.
For you, that's Losing.
I mean, a few random bombings here and there, you think that's gonna do anything? You are a fly, buzzing around Monroe's head, and that's all.
- Miles.
- You want to take down Monroe, you gotta hit hard.
Make sure he doesn't get back up again.
You gotta decimate his men, burn Philly to the ground.
And how are we gonna do all that? Well, for one thing, I'm gonna help you.
You are gonna help us? Look at me, I'm with the rebels now.
God bless America.
If I'm gonna do this, I need my guys, my senior officers.
Militia officers.
Why should we trust them any more than we trust you? Because when I tried to assassinate Monroe, they were the guys that backed me up.
These guys can fight.
They can turn all these kids into fighters.
Who do you have in mind? Jim Hudson, for starters.
That's a hell of a start.
That is, if you can find him, and if he doesn't try to kill you.
I can find him.
Not sure about the second part.
You really have to leave so soon? Why? You want me around? Not me.
Charlie.
It would be better for her if you were here.
How have I made anything better? Welcome to echo base.
Where are you going? Some scouts saw some militia troops about 2 miles east of here.
A raid? Charlie, you can't go on a raid.
Listen to me.
This is too dangerous.
Don't do this, not right now.
I gotta do something.
- Those are the pendants? - Two of them, and I think I can guess who's got them.
So you can track them? When the pendants are turned on, yes.
So every so often, I flip 'em on remotely, give 'em a little ping just to see where they are.
Neat trick, right? A woman named Grace taught me.
Then why haven't you collected them before? I didn't have choppers and soldiers before.
I didn't have the resources.
Well, you should have come to me earlier.
Maybe, but honestly, I couldn't make up my mind.
About? Whether you were worthy, or had your head deeply up your own ass.
Most people don't talk to me like that.
Most people don't have the power to hand you a continent.
I could've gone to Georgia or Governor Affleck in California, but I chose you, so stick with me.
I'll bring you more pendants, scientists, like our good friend over there.
They'll build you more amplifiers.
Sir I can give you everything.
So lighten up.
REVOLUTION S01 E12 - Ghosts Jim Hudson's twenty miles away.
In Culpepper.
Who told you? That was Jim's brother in there.
- How'd you get him to talk? - How do you think? Miles, is there anything you want to talk about? - Not really, no.
- It's just, things can't be easy for you right now.
Look, I'm fighting for your stupid rebels.
What more do you want from me? Nothing.
They say you got something for me.
For a price.
What am I buying? I was with the rebels outside Annapolis.
I saw Miles Matheson.
And he's heading to find Jim Hudson.
You were with the rebels And you're helping me? I could tell you where they're going.

Of course.

It happened once at Grace Beaumont's house and once in a lighthouse.
Why didn't you tell me? What's going on? Humvees.
A truck.
They're heading this direction.
How is that possible? Because Monroe's got power again.
You always been crazy.
But this You still think Monroe's dangerous, right? I'll be the first to admit I am not a fan of Monroe.
But I can't do this.
Sure, you can.
No, I cannot be that guy again.
I'm building something here, okay, something good.
So, you're just what, now, Conan the librarian? What I really am, I'm a husband to that woman out there.
And, Miles, I love her.

For her.
She doesn't even know your name.

- You're what! They're tracking them.
We can't let 'em have 'em.
Okay, forget the pendants.
We gotta go now.
Listen to me.
Every pendant Monroe gets is another chopper.
It's another kid dead, okay? I can't let that happen.

Expecting someone? No.
Are you Randall and Lisa Flynn, parents of sergeant Edward Flynn, stationed at Bagram Air Base? Yes.

The secretary extends his deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Look, we'll just find someone else.
It'll be all right.
That's a kill squad.

You were building a weapon.
It didn't start out that way.
- But yes.
- What? Rachel? Hello? This thing on? Hello, Rachel.
Not very nice what you did to the pendants.
But did you really think I came all this way for jewelry? I came for you, Rachel.
You and your giant brain are much more valuable.

Thank you.
So you wanted to see me? Yes, sir.
I Heard about the mission to retrieve Rachel Matheson.
Yes? I was just wondering why I'm not on it.
Tom, after all you've been through, you need a minute to grieve.
Don't worry.
Mr.
Flynn has the matter well in hand.
I appreciate that, but We barely know the man.
Do you trust him? No.
But you know me.
I don't trust anyone.
I'm sorry, I don't understand the problem.
I spoke to the Joint Chiefs and they've signed off.
We deploy four weeks from today.
Four weeks? We start with the Taliban compound in Peshawar.
We need more time.
We're still running containment scenarios.
You've been running tests for a year.
They've all been successful.
- Give us six more months.
- Ten.
Every month, every day we wait, more of our soldiers die.
We can end the bloodshed with a push of a button, so why wouldn't we? It's just the risks Have proven to be imaginary.
This isn't a debate.
You're not the only eggheads who work for me.
This is happening with or without you.
So have it ready, okay? This way.
Mom, what? I have let you down, I have Failed you, Charlie, in every possible way.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Put your hands up! Let's go.
I'm Jim Hudson.
I think you're looking for me.
Where is Miles Matheson? Right here.
Might wanna just surrender, Captain.
Got you surrounded.
That so? Cuff 'em.
It's me, it's me.
It's me.
God.
- Where's my mom? - We got separated.
Take this.
Come on.
Good to see you, Rachel.
The years have been good to you, Rachel.
You're working with Monroe now? And I'm getting the band back together.
Grace, Sanborn, and now you Especially you.
You're the one that can make the magic happen.
Look, you want me to turn the power back on, I will help you.
But not like this, not with Monroe.
Who says I wanna turn the power on? Look what people did with it last time.
They just killed each other, like children playing with Well, with electricity.
No, the way to protect the many is to put the power in the hands of the few.
Like you and Monroe.
The blackout wiped the world clean, burned it down.
And when you burn down the old, new things grow.
We can make a better world, Rachel.
A safer one.
Yes, people died.
It's a tragedy.
But you either let that grief define you Or you learn from it.
Move, move! Go, go, go! Where are you? I know you're in here.

His little bitch.
Let's see how tough Hudson is After I cut your sweet little throat.
