Revolution s01e20 Episode Script
The Dark Tower
It's all and it is turn off.
And it will never turn back on.
There's this place.
It's called The Tower, and if I can get there, I can turn the power back on for everybody.
We've been down here, guarding The Tower.
We have to turn the lights on! If she turns the power on, maybe she saves the world Or maybe she sets it on fire.
Miles! So you ready to settle this Once and for all? What the hell? You first, prick.
Miles! Miles! So, how exactly could we destroy the human race? You know what caused the blackout, Aaron? A couple hundred quadrillion machines sucking up all the electricity? They're everywhere In the air, in our blood.
What if Rachel gives the wrong command? - What if they malfunction? - They're malfunctioning now.
They are replicating out of control.
We need to shut them down.
They could rip our cells apart.
They could ignite the air.
It's too risky.
We still don't know what went wrong the first time.
- Your friends are gone.
- What do you mean, gone? I mean they're gone.
They're not in The Tower anymore.
You are our guests, Rachel.
But you try to get to level 12, try to get the power on, and you're dead.
Sorry to keep you waiting, major.
- As you can see, I've been busy.
- Tom You really think Monroe's gonna let you get away with that? He doesn't have much say in the matter.
You're in charge of two things Jack and squat.
A hundred men in the middle of Colorado? That's nothing.
From an acorn, mighty oaks grow.
I'm gonna let you go, Mark.
- What? - I'm not the man Monroe is.
I'm neither brutal nor capricious.
Head home to your wife.
Maybe find a nice farm someplace quiet.
Get a horse for major Franklin.
You understand I'm going to have to keep your sidearm, of course.
That son of a bitch took a shot at me.
You try to be a nice guy.
S01 Ep20 = The Dark Tower = Hold your fire! It's general Monroe.
Miles! Well, Happy Birthday, bro.
- You remember your 21st? - Spring break.
Fort Lauderdale.
And that girl The stripper with the leg With one leg.
- The one leg.
- Yeah.
Her name was Sierra.
- Yes.
- Sierra.
- And she could move.
- She could move.
I got one.
- Your ninth birthday.
- My ninth? Yeah, the infamous dodge ball party? And I gave I gave Brian Duffy a concussion.
That was one of your worst cakes ever.
Coconut is not so bad No way.
Grace, can I have a word, please? Okay, so Granted, I was snooping on your computers, but, I found this code, and it looks a lot I mean a lot Like code that I wrote at MIT.
That's because it is your code.
The university sold it to the D.
O.
D.
- Did you know about this? - No.
What are you saying? I'm saying you wrote The Tower's operating system.
Why do you think Ben found you in the first place? Found me? No, no! We just stumbled across each other in the woods, and I mean, if anything, I found him.
Sure you did.
What's this? A little demolition project.
We don't know what's going on down there, but we have to stop Rachel Matheson.
That woman cannot be allowed to turn the lights on.
- And why is that? - What, you really think we should hand that kind of power over to Georgia or the other republics? I'm sorry, sir.
It's just, my head is spinning - From how quickly you switch sides.
- Stop.
You need to stop.
I need your help.
It's you and me, alone out here.
You're the only one I can trust.
I know what I've done to you.
I know how much you hate me.
But we gotta put that behind us.
Please, can you do that? Whatever happens in there, I want Charlie alive.
Her mother too.
Sir, I spotted general Monroe.
Three clicks out in the woods.
You wanted to see me? Did I ever tell you about the day Danny was born? He was almost three months early.
His lungs weren't formed.
He weighed barely 2 pounds, so small, he fit in your hand.
Must have been awful.
Best day of my life.
I took one look at him I was head over heels.
They kept him in the NICU.
His odds Weren't even 50/50.
You should have seen me screaming at the doctors.
They were terrified of me.
I fought so hard for him.
I guess I haven't stopped fighting.
We have to stop the militia.
We have to set things right for him, so he doesn't die for nothing.
You weren't the only one who lost a child.
That's why I am hoping you will understand.
You flip the switch, it goes wrong We're all dead.
The chances are one in a billion.
I have faced worse odds.
Come on, please.
We are so close.
It's too dangerous.
I'm sorry.
Well, I'm sorry too.
Okay.
Let's go.
Morning, sunshine.
Thought you'd never wake up.
How long you been here? Where else would I be? - What happened? - Rebel bombing.
How you feeling, pal? What do you mean? Rebels? U.
S.
rebels.
We found an American flag on the ungrateful bastard.
They want to bring back the United States, if you can believe that.
Come here.
Take a look.
- I got it, I got it.
- You all right? Yeah.
Who's that? That is who almost killed you.
What, five guys bombed the restaurant? No, no, just one.
The others are his wife and kids.
That son of a bitch wants to mess with my family, I'm gonna mess with his.
We're gonna make an example out of him.
Check the stairwells and we'll meet on the north side.
Rachel, you gotta see this.
Not now, Aaron.
I'm searching The Tower's code my code I appreciate the straight-up theft, by the way Aaron.
When I designed it, I built a back door.
It was just for me, or so I thought, but I looked, and the back door is open.
What back door? It's a virtual back door.
It's symbolic Never mind.
When the blackout spread worldwide, I don't think it was an accident.
I think someone did it on purpose.
Hey.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Where's Miles? Where are you going? Got more important things to do, Bass.
Rachel and Charlie are in trouble.
Turn around and fight me! So we can keep kicking each other's asses? For what? Got your own problems, pal.
Your own men are shooting at you.
Don't you walk away from me! You're the one who tried to kill me! You're the one who started all of this, and now you're walking away.
You know, I never saw it coming.
I woke up that night You were just standing there.
I was about to ask if you were okay.
That's funny, right? I was worried about you! Then you pulled that gun.
You never gave me an explanation.
It was a lot of things.
Like what? What you did to those rebel kids, for one.
I did that for you.
Everything I have ever done was for you.
How you care so much about the Republic I don't care.
The only thing I ever cared about was watching your back.
That's the only reason why I followed you into any of this, and you tried to kill me for it.
When did you lose sight of Miles? The water pushed him through those pipes, and he was just gone.
Do you do you think that he's alive? I don't know.
You love him, don't you? Miles? Of course not.
He's Ben's brother.
He's he's family, that's all.
I can see it on your face, Rachel.
And he loves you too.
He pretends he doesn't, but saving you is the only thing on his mind.
There's no question.
He'll choose you every time.
There's the stairwell door down to 12.
Well, except for all those maniacs down there, it seems perfect.
How do we get past 'em? I have an idea.
General.
There's been a change in management.
This is quite a tricky ***, Tom.
How did you get all the way out here? Funny enough, Miles brought me here.
Go figure.
Well, I'm gonna have you killed for this.
And your wife.
Sir I could never say this under your employ, but you have become foolish and deranged, and you have a borderline erotic fixation on Miles Matheson.
There, I said it.
I feel better.
So go on, Tom.
Shoot me.
Come on.
Can't just shoot people in the face like you did.
I have to at least have an appearance of a trial.
That's the difference between you and me.
You frighten.
ILnspire.
Well It's good to see you alive and well, kid.
Sir, they blew an opening under The Tower door.
Let's go in.
Wait.
Nice try, Rachel.
Nora? You asked me why I tried to kill you.
You're asking the wrong question, Bass.
Ask me why I couldn't.
We're still brothers.
And as much as I hate that Let me tell you, I do That's never gonna change.
Run, Bass.
What? Monroe's escaping! I said run.
Don't I know you? This isn't working.
If we had the right meds or stitches, maybe.
There was an infirmary back where Grace was.
There's militia.
A lot of them.
How did they get down here? We go to the infirmary, we might not make it back.
If we don't go, Nora's gonna bleed out.
If they lock those barracks doors, we need that key card.
I need the key card to get to the 12th floor.
- Mom? - The door is right here.
Stay here with Nora.
I'll be back.
By the time you go and come back, Nora is gonna be dead! This isn't an either-or.
We save Nora, then we can go turn the lights on.
Your mom's right.
We can't risk it.
She has to get down there while she still can.
- Give me the key card.
- Charlie.
This is the rebels' only chance.
I said no.
How many more people have to die for this? We're doing this for Danny.
Danny's dead, mom.
It breaks my heart, but he's gone, and he's not coming back.
But I'm here.
Your daughter is standing right in front of you.
I'm alive, and I'm asking for your help.
Lock the door.
I'll be back.
I promise.
Aaron, you need to come with me.
I don't have Warren's journal.
It's your code.
I need you for the computers.
Come with me, please.
Aaron This is what you came here for.
Now go.
Goodbye.
You should have gone down with your mom.
Nah.
You're much more fun.
Charlie! I'm okay.
Rachel went down to level 12.
Militia is everywhere.
You gotta go help her.
We need some meds.
Listen, there's an infirmary, but it's locked.
- Then we'll blast it open.
- Listen to me.
Go.
Go get the power on.
- No, I'm not leaving you.
- You have to.
Miles Rachel needs you.
Look at me.
I'm not leaving you.
How much further? It's just up ahead.
No.
No, no, no, no.
Nora.
Nora.
Please, don't try to run, Ms.
Matheson.
I'd hate to have to shoot you.
You see, I promised my boy I'd keep you alive.
Don't make me a liar.
Yeah, 'cause you're such an honest person.
Now, you are coming with us.
And you are going to forget about the power, once and for all.
Watch out! Go! Go! Come on, cover him! Nora? She's dead.
Get to root access.
Get to command line.
Run the shutdown script.
Get the rest of that C-4 down here.
I want this door open, and then I want them all dead.
Do you understand? Yes, sir.
Unless you got a problem with that.
Almost got it.
What if Grace is right? What if we end the world? We won't, Aaron.
Do it.
Okay.
Let's get our tanks and choppers up and running.
And throw everything we got at Philly.
Yes, ma'am.
It worked.
I'm sorry about Nora.
Randall? Thank you so much for doing that.
You know me and computers.
All thumbs.
I tell you, Rachel, I thought for sure it would be you or Grace to help me cross the finish line.
But your portly friend came through quite nicely.
What are you talking about? Why do you think I wanted to get down to level 12? It's what I needed, and you you did it.
Randall, you you want the power on for everyone? No.
Not for everyone.
For this.
No, Randall? Just just stop! Talk about this! Randall! When you burn down the old, new things grow.
Get back.
No! Randall, what are you doing? Launching I.
C.
B.
M.
s at Atlanta and Philadelphia.
There.
Now there's no turning back.
You think I gave two craps about Monroe? I just wanted Monroe to wipe out Georgia.
Then I'd wipe out Monroe.
And after that, the East Coast is wide open.
After all, our great nation must be united.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand.
" Randall, what are you saying? I'm a patriot, Rachel.
No! There's got to be a way to get in there.
How do we Rachel, how do we get in? Sir Randall Flynn did it.
It's time to go home, Mr.
President.
And it will never turn back on.
There's this place.
