The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020) s02e10 Episode Script
The Last Light
Previously on "The Walking
Dead: World Beyond"
Two transport trucks.
Biggest ones you've got.
No tricks.
If it were up to me, I'd put
a bullet in your head right now.
If I see you again,
I'll kill you.
They're gonna wipe out Portland.
Jadis: They found the gas.
They wouldn't leave
without trying to destroy it.
We're just giving up
on a whole city?
We can't save anyone
until we save ourselves.
I'm here for Dennis.
He's hurt really bad.
I got orders.
I'm suiting up. No, you're
staying here with me.
Hold fire. Officer Carlucci has
a gun on Mason Beale.
Percy!
No.
Where's Percy?
The gas is probably already
on its way to Portland.
I think I found something.
Still got that C-4?
Hey, guys.
Hey.
There's that
suit again.
Yeah, it's a --
TuffyStitch.
Kids can, uh,
something, something.
Wear 'em, can't tear 'em. Yeah.
That is abig wrench.
Thanks.
I mean, yeah, it's --
So,
this is how
you've been
sneaking out all this time?
Uh, yeah.
Both my parents
used to teach here,
and my dad would sneak
through this door to smoke
so my mom
wouldn't catch him.
What we're about
to do
is only slightly more dangerous
than that.
So we're really
gonna do this, huh?
The four of us going
1,100 miles on foot.
You, uh, having
second thoughts or
No.
Our dad's in trouble,
and we need to find him.
The second we walk
through that door ..
There's no going back.
And while we're on the topic
of uncertainty,
there's really no way to know
how this is gonna end,
for any of us,
so there's that.
Okay.
So how about
we make a promise
to have each others' backs,
no matter what?
I'm in.
Me too.
Till the end, whatever the end
turns out to be for us.
Alright, then.
Let's do this.
Alright.
Wait, if, um, if any of us
encounter an empty,
just remember Officer Carlucci's
first rule of survival ..
Engage only
as a last resort.
Avoidance is key.
And for the record,
I'm rethinking
whoever's idea it was
to go on foot.
A vehicle would've been too easy
to spot from the air.
All things considered,
this is safer.
Yeah.
Real safe.
We made it halfway across
the country on foot, alright?
We can do this.
You good?
We need
to move faster.
Everything is riding on us --
all of it.
So,
after we blow the gas?
Uh, we meet up
with the others,
and some of us
head for Portland.
You?
You'll go?
Something
Percy and I talked about.
I'm so sorry.
He was
going to kill Huck.
But he let her live.
And then she risked her life
trying to save his,
but she couldn't.
None of us could.
I guess I just wanted
to make some kind of sense.
He was lost.
I mean,
and then he found you.
Maybe that's the part of this
that makes sense.
Ma'am, I've just
received word ..
We've resecured access
to the helicopters.
I've heard.
How long before we have them
in the air
dropping
disruption charges?
Within the hour.
Good.
That'll free up more teams
to hunt down
and secure
our missing scientists.
We need them found.
Yes, ma'am. Anything else?
I want
a dozen vehicles
to fan out
in an eight.mile radius.
They're to jam all frequencies
until sundown.
You think they're still
using comms?
Mm.
That'll interfere with
our own communications.
It's a calculated risk,
but it's the best way
to stop our insurgents
in their tracks.
And our
current operation?
Won't be affected.
Choppers from the CR
will be at the Cull Facility
in four hours to airlift
the gas to Portland.
I intend to have all this
wrapped up by then.
Huck:
Where the hell are they?
The CRM's gotta be
looking for me.
You need those antibiotics,
and I need that C.4.
Those kids
are swimming upstream
through the tail end
of a shit storm.
Give them time.
I've been thinking about
this buddy of mine
from the early days.
He'd always talk about
his family's cabin
down in the Smokys.
On the banks
of the Pigeon River,
surrounded by
huge pine trees.
Sounds nice.
He went out on one of
the first resource runs.
Never came back.
I always wondered
if he went AWOL.
Got back there
and made his own
"happily ever after."
Thinking we could
do the same?
We could still
have a life.
We could.
After we blow the shit up,
haul ass to the CR,
expose to the government
and the press
what the military's done.
Details, details.
Even if
we make it in,
find a way to get word
to the right people
Who's to say
they'd even believe us?
If anybody can do this,
it's us.
We take what we got
and make it work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just the roadside assistance
I was looking for.
You good?
Everybody safe?
Yeah, they got there safe
on the second truck.
It's just us and
a decade's worth of research.
Right.
Get back.
Stay low, find cover.
Go, go, go!
Newton:
Dr. Bennett?
Why don't you and your friends
come on out, hands on heads?
You can't win this.
Hey.
Hey.
Almost had me worried.
Glad you're okay.
Good to see you,
kid.
We tried to radio.
Huck:
Yeah, me too.
CRM must be
jamming the comms.
Grabbed as many
as I could.
Dennis: Thanks for
not listening to me.
It means a lot,
what you did.
Good work.
What else can we do?
Head back,
meet up with the others.
It's still safest for you
on foot.
Minimum safe distance
is gonna be about three miles
once this place blows.
What about you?
They know
you helped us escape.
I --
You could come with us.
The people inside the CR
don't know
what the military has been doing
outside their walls.
They need to.
Dennis and I are gonna see to it
that they do.
Thanks.
You should go.
Just get there safe,
okay?
You too.
For what it's worth,
I'm proud of you.
You're the future,
kid.
Never forget that.
Elton:
We should go.
Silas?
You coming?
Yeah, no.
I'm gonna go with
Huck and Dennis.
What?
Dennis: Plaskett.
You need somebody to help
get you there,
and you
have to get there.
Pierce: Officer Stokes,
I have more news.
The C-4 they used
to cave in the tunnels
appears to have been
older M112s.
The kind designated
for the culling facilities?
Yes, ma'am.
Ready my helicopter.
Now.
Ma'am?
Mallick's husband runs
the culling outpost
where the gas
has been moved.
With respect, we were
as discreet as possible
with the move.
The gas was made to look like
a standard supply transfer.
I said
ready my helicopter.
You've gotten really good
at being a hero.
I'm not.
I'm just
helping a friend.
When I was leaving
the university, I ..
I didn't even have friends
to say goodbye to.
Elton: I don't think
this is goodbye.
Look, we found each other
twice before, alright?
We will again.
Yeah.
We will.
See ya.
Silas
Thank you.
For what?
Uh, for coming with me and Hope
when you barely knew us.
For saving my life
at that school.
For dancing with me
when I wanted to dance.
I was just following your lead
the whole time.
We all were.
It won't be long before
Huck has those charges set.
You should go.
See you around,
Silas.
Was headed to the underground
mall with the others.
Doubled back when I heard
your distress call.
Can't do this forever.
Split 'em up.
It'll be easier
to pick 'em off.
I'll circle around as a decoy,
cut through the trees.
Newton's an asshole.
He'll take the bait.
Trust me.
It's the smart play.
Shit.
People like you,
you're worse
than the dead.
Because you
are helping them win.
But not today.
Today, you lose.
Actually,
it's better like this.
You and me.
Let's go.
You said you'd kill me
if you ever had the chance,
so come on'
You've got yours,
I've got mine
No other weapons.
I'm offering you
a fair fight.
I read
your psych report.
You gonna disappoint me
like everyone else in your life?
Like all those people
at the Campus Colony
you vowed to protect?
Like your boyfriend,
who came here
to get away from you?
Hell,
your own parents
wanted nothing to do
with you.
You really wanna add me
to that list?
Yeah.
Have fun.
What is it?
What's wrong?
CRM isn't just
blocking the comms.
It's affecting
the remote detonators, too.
Gotta find another way
to set off those explosives.
Well, maybe we can rig
something up.
CRM could be here
any minute.
How far is that emergency
weapons cache you told me about?
Where we were gonna load up
on our way out?
Three miles.
Not sure if we've got
any timers stashed, but
we might.
'"Ight" is the best we got
right now.
I'll go.
I just need to know
where it is.
You should go
with him.
We can be there and back
in 20.
Okay.
What about you?
I'll stay here,
hide out if they come close.
Just be safe,
alright?
We got this.
Yeah, we do.
We take what we got,
and we make it work.
Now this
is a fair fight.
Sweep that warehouse,
secure the containers.
What did you get
out of betraying the Republic,
Jennifer?
We were supposed to fight
for humanity,
but there is nothing humane
about what the CRM's done.
So you got nothing.
You didn't live
out there.
You didn't lose a community.
Not one you made.
You can't appreciate
what we have,
what we can do.
Let's see
what you can do.
What you did
to Omaha ..
We had no choice.
Your mother understood that.
My mother
lost her way.
But this --
This was always who you were.
You traded someone
to get into the CR, right?
That was
your ticket in?
Somebody's life?
People are
a resource'
I had
someone special.
I had an "A,"
but I said that he was a "B"
so he wouldn't end up
in your mother's lab.
I owed him
that much.
So, yeah, I traded someone
to get into the city.
And then I saw
what this world could become,
so I signed up.
And now?
Now I'm doing all the things
that you couldn't.
Hold up.
You should let me
look at the wound.
I'm fine.
Gotta be a timed detonator
in one of these.
Kid.
You're a murderer.
You got the blood of
100,000 people on your hands.
I'm no more a murderer
than you.
Your observe-and-report
mission in Omaha?
What do you think all the intel
was used for?
How do you think we took out
an entire city
with just one
chemical strike?
You told us exactly where
the masses would gather
to commemorate
Monument Day.
The plazas.
The parks.
One year later,
we knew precisely where to hit.
All thanks to you.
It didn't
have to be this way.
You want me
to finish it?
You want
to die alone?
There's just
one thing I want.
I have
this gold watch.
It was my pop's.
One of the only things
I have to remember him by.
My mom,
she likes to say
it's the watch
that brought her
and me back together
after things fell apart.
I want you to tell her
that this time, it won't.
'Cause now?
Now it's going to bring me
and my dad back together.
How much time
do I have?
They're rigged
to blow!
We're leaving!
Now!
We're not far enough away
from the Outpost yet.
Okay,
we need to move faster.
Iris:
Faster through that?
Get clear!
Get in!
Come on!
Hurry!
Put these on.
Hey, move!
Hope!
Silas: I-I can just try
to stitch you back up,
and then maybe if we can
just get some more antibiotics.
She could still be coming.
She's not.
She sent us here
so we wouldn't be there.
We can still go.
We should.
I can get you
to the Civic Republic.
Kid,
I'm not gonna make it.
Look at me.
I never was.
But you --
She knew it, too.
It was just easier
to pretend.
Take the truck.
Find your friends.
No.
You said this was
about second chances, okay?
This is our chance.
I'm not just
gonna give up.
They must've
spotted the truck.
We can take 'em on.
No, we can't.
I'm not gonna make it
out of this.
Maybe there's a way
you still can.
Hand me your gun.
Why?
They know
I'm a traitor.
I'm dead
one way or another.
But if it looks like
you ended me,
it could convince them
that you weren't a part of this,
that you were just
a hostage
who got the upper hand
on his captor.
Making them see you
as a hero
it's how you live.
No.
No.
Gah.
You wanted
a second chance?!
This is it.
What are you saying?
Shut up!
Damn it, Plaskett.
It's the only way.
I'm not
gonna let you.
Then it has to
be you.
What Jennifer did to you,
you didn't deserve that.
And you sure as hell
don't deserve this.
But, Silas, you deserve
to have a life.
They come in here
and find us alive,
they'll kill us both.
They need to see you
as one of them.
That's why
it has to go this way.
What makes you think
they'd believe me?
Kid, you gotta make them
believe you.
If you don't at least try,
you're dead.
You gotta do it.
You gotta do it right now,
kid, okay?
We don't have time.
I'm gonna get in.
I'm gonna find
the right people,
and everyone will find out
what the CRM did.
Man:
Step out of the house.
Hands on head.
Just do it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Don't carry this.
And remember, no matter
what they tell you
you're not
one of them.
Do it.
Do it!
Felix:
How's he doing?
His breathing's shallow.
He lost
a lot of blood.
Maybe too much.
We should secure him.
Just in case.
He saved my life.
Indira
These were
in his bag.
What is it?
It's what
I need to live.
Hey.
Hey.
What's that?
It's Elton's.
Did you know
he started writing a book?
I was talking with
some of Indira's people.
A bunch of them
want out.
They're talking about heading
to Portland to warn them.
In a few days,
once it's safe.
You want us
to go with them?
W-Wait. We --
We can't leave Elton.
I'm not saying
we should.
I know this place
isn't permanent,
but it seems safe.
Cornell's close by.
There must be
lab equipment.
If you stay,
you could work on this place,
keep working
on the science for years.
So you want
to go with them?
It's what
I'm supposed to do.
I might not be making any sense
right now, but ..
Hope:
You are.
It's not about us.
It's about the future.
Not the CRM's.
Everybody's.
That's how I feel,
and I-I think
it's how Elton feels, too.
Leo: Iris.
You know I love you.
But I can't just let you
go .. I'd come back.
With reinforcements
from Portland.
It's not forever.
Nothing's forever.
Will: Maybe Felix and I
go with her.
There's too much
at stake here,
too much that needs
to be protected.
Felix:
She's right.
The CRM's close,
and scientists aren't fighters.
Iris is.
Appreciate you coming in,
Silas.
I bet you're wondering
why I asked you here.
You heard about
what I did.
Damn right I did.
Shooting Mallick's
treasonous husband in the face.
That must've been
quite the ordeal.
He was trying to force me
into something
I didn't wanna
be a part of.
He got
what he deserved.
Your friends, they were
part of the mutiny, too.
Did you know that?
They banished me from
their group going cross.country.
They were never
my friends.
That's a convincing story,
Silas.
But Dennis put you up to it,
didn't he?
To try and save you?
What?
No.
No, he didn't.
He did.
It's okay.
What matters is that you
actually went through with it.
After killing
your own father,
your own mother abandoning you
for it.
That takes strength.
Strength we could use.
I asked you here
'cause I heard
you're interested
in our military.
Was that a lie, too?
No.
I think I'd make
a good soldier.
Personally, I think
you'd make a great one.
I'll start you off
in basic training immediately,
take you on as
my own special project.
Would you like that,
Silas?
Yeah.
I would.
But you're wrong
about me.
I believe
in the CRM.
You don't
have to convince me.
I see you
for who you are
for who
you really are.
Even if
you don't yet.
But you will.
And I can't wait for you to see
who you're gonna become.
I know
it can be scary.
What did we
talk about before?
Remember?
Elizabeth.
Sorry for your loss.
I've just
got back to the city.
It's been
days of debriefing.
I instructed my team
to bring her to justice alive
and unharmed,
but she ..
She didn't give them a choice.
I read the report.
We haven't found
our scientists yet, but we will.
The scientists know
that we need them.
And now they know
what we've been doing.
I came
to see myself
as an ancestor
to a future world
that would be indebted
to my sacrifices.
So I did things
I did
monstrous things
so that that civilization
could reign again.
So that the others,
the humane, could ascend.
But what if,
after all that
it just
isn't possible?
Hm?
What if
it never was, Jadis?
Survivors --
whether individuals
or entire civilizations ..
Find opportunity
in calamity.
They don't break.
They don't let the weak
become strong.
They wait for the strong
to become weak.
I'm sitting here now
because I took the moment.
I saw the strongest person
I've ever met
become
entirely vulnerable.
I used it.
That's what
I'm doing now.
And what is it
that you're doing?
You are hereby remanded to
the Health and Welfare Complex
until which time
you will be tried
for Article 94
of the Uniform Code
of Civic Republic
Military Justice.
What the hell for?
For treason.
You see, Elizabeth, people are
looking for someone to blame.
This happened
on your watch.
Your own daughter
was a traitor.
Don't.
If anyone should've see it,
it should've been you.
She made you!
The Bennetts, well, they were
a threat, and what did you do?
You brought them in.
You let
the Perimeters live.
Everything that happened
happened because of you.
And when things went wrong,
you did nothing to stop it.
I did not
do nothing to stop it.
I believed.
And I brought you in
for a security audit.
You brought me
into a world of shit.
Oh, boo-hoo.
And you left
as things got out of control.
I suspect you brought me in
to take the fall.
Maybe that's your own version
of survival.
Either way,
the worse you look,
the better I do.
And there it is.
But I can help usher in
the new world
better than you can.
I don't have friends.
I don't have a child.
I have my ambition,
and I have the Republic.
Do you honestly believe
that people won't see
through what you're doing?
Ho!
Beale's gonna have your head
for this.
Who do you think signed
your arrest warrant?
You will not win.
I have won,
Elizabeth.
I had to.
We are the last light
of the world.
I love you.
I love you,
too, Dad.
Indira: My people --
she's in good hands with them.
And they're in good hands
with her.
Hm.
My route to Portland,
in case you need to find me
for any reason.
Just take care of yourself,
okay?
Take care
of each other.
I keep thinking about, uh,
how I said
the two of us
would save the world together.
I still think
we could.
Even if
we're not together.
All this
it didn't change us.
It just showed us
that who we are
is who we were.
Come here.
I love you
so much.
I know.
I love you, too.
Hey, Iris?
Grin, girl.
Hey.
What is it?
It's Elton.
He's awake.
Elton: There was a time I
thought that I was gonna die
that we were all
gonna die
because I believed
we were the last generation.
The Endlings.
And then, for a while, I
thought we were the beginning.
But that ignores everything
that came before,
everyone who came before.
What I know for sure
is that there's a lot
that's tough about the world,
a lot that's harder than
I ever thought it could be.
Those things have left
their mark on us
Man:
Plaskett, report to the helipad.
on all of us -- in ways
I.I never could've expected.
I also know there's a lot
that's good, that's beautiful.
A lot that brings me hope.
But maybe there is
no beginning.
Maybe there's no end.
Maybe there just is
and "is"
is whatever we make it.
Woman:
Three centimeters of tissue.
This rate of yeast-based decay
is extraordinary.
'Cause really,
we don't get to know.
There's no perfect modeling,
no --
no way to predict
if today is the last day.
If the world lasts a year
or two
or forever.
Maybe all we get to know
is now.
And whether we make
a small mark on this world
or we change it entirely,
it's really about
those little pieces of now
that get us there,
those small steps
that move us forward,
keep us growing and evolving.
'Cause all of those moments
put together,
that's a life.
And that's everything.
So, let's see who we really are,
shall we?
Dr. Jenner:
The problem, as I see it,
is that the samples
we have simply aren't fresh.
There's just
too many variables involved
on how the clock affects them,
and even after a few minutes,
we -- we can't get
an accurate picture
of the biology involved,
at least from the start.
We obviously have seen the end.
Again and again.
Still, we will have
fresh samples soon.
That's a certainty.
Well, in brighter news,
Ireviewed the latest data
on your side,
and the use of cardiac plaques
as a host medium
for steroidal therapies
to jump-start
the circulatory system
in the hopes of
short.circuiting the brain
or
perhaps regaining function
to cause nerve confusion is --
is a fascinating approach,
and ..
And we are all anxiously
awaiting anything
that comes back
from your first trial.
We all have to work
together here.
Solidarity, right?
Fact of the matter is,
we only have
so many supplies left.
We're not getting any more,
so everything counts
that much more.
Every collection.
Every test.
I almost broke
a petri dish yesterday
and almost put
my fist through wall.
Glad the other Dr. Jenner
stopped me.
The infirmary is closed.
Sealed, actually.
We've been venturing out
for the basics.
The "other Dr. Jenner" has
gotten pretty damn good at it.
But getting back to the data --
the idea of activating systems
to work against reanimation
is a promising idea.
But, as we've discussed,
the systems themselves
have to be studied
to see exactly how they're
working or not working
For example, can we build up
acids in bodies
that don't have blood flow?
Of course, that gets right back
to that idea
of jump starting
circulatory systems
We need to do two things
simultaneously ..
Observe this and attack this.
I want to know more about these
"variant cohorts"
you referred to
in our last communication.
We haven't seen anything
like that seen here at all,
nothing close.
I hope this finds you
as well as you can be.
I hope you don't lose faith.
The day will come when we are
going to beat this thing.
At least, that's what
the "other Dr. Jenner"
keeps telling me.
And as you know,
she's smarter than me.
Solidarité. A bientöt.
Dead: World Beyond"
Two transport trucks.
Biggest ones you've got.
No tricks.
If it were up to me, I'd put
a bullet in your head right now.
If I see you again,
I'll kill you.
They're gonna wipe out Portland.
Jadis: They found the gas.
They wouldn't leave
without trying to destroy it.
We're just giving up
on a whole city?
We can't save anyone
until we save ourselves.
I'm here for Dennis.
He's hurt really bad.
I got orders.
I'm suiting up. No, you're
staying here with me.
Hold fire. Officer Carlucci has
a gun on Mason Beale.
Percy!
No.
Where's Percy?
The gas is probably already
on its way to Portland.
I think I found something.
Still got that C-4?
Hey, guys.
Hey.
There's that
suit again.
Yeah, it's a --
TuffyStitch.
Kids can, uh,
something, something.
Wear 'em, can't tear 'em. Yeah.
That is abig wrench.
Thanks.
I mean, yeah, it's --
So,
this is how
you've been
sneaking out all this time?
Uh, yeah.
Both my parents
used to teach here,
and my dad would sneak
through this door to smoke
so my mom
wouldn't catch him.
What we're about
to do
is only slightly more dangerous
than that.
So we're really
gonna do this, huh?
The four of us going
1,100 miles on foot.
You, uh, having
second thoughts or
No.
Our dad's in trouble,
and we need to find him.
The second we walk
through that door ..
There's no going back.
And while we're on the topic
of uncertainty,
there's really no way to know
how this is gonna end,
for any of us,
so there's that.
Okay.
So how about
we make a promise
to have each others' backs,
no matter what?
I'm in.
Me too.
Till the end, whatever the end
turns out to be for us.
Alright, then.
Let's do this.
Alright.
Wait, if, um, if any of us
encounter an empty,
just remember Officer Carlucci's
first rule of survival ..
Engage only
as a last resort.
Avoidance is key.
And for the record,
I'm rethinking
whoever's idea it was
to go on foot.
A vehicle would've been too easy
to spot from the air.
All things considered,
this is safer.
Yeah.
Real safe.
We made it halfway across
the country on foot, alright?
We can do this.
You good?
We need
to move faster.
Everything is riding on us --
all of it.
So,
after we blow the gas?
Uh, we meet up
with the others,
and some of us
head for Portland.
You?
You'll go?
Something
Percy and I talked about.
I'm so sorry.
He was
going to kill Huck.
But he let her live.
And then she risked her life
trying to save his,
but she couldn't.
None of us could.
I guess I just wanted
to make some kind of sense.
He was lost.
I mean,
and then he found you.
Maybe that's the part of this
that makes sense.
Ma'am, I've just
received word ..
We've resecured access
to the helicopters.
I've heard.
How long before we have them
in the air
dropping
disruption charges?
Within the hour.
Good.
That'll free up more teams
to hunt down
and secure
our missing scientists.
We need them found.
Yes, ma'am. Anything else?
I want
a dozen vehicles
to fan out
in an eight.mile radius.
They're to jam all frequencies
until sundown.
You think they're still
using comms?
Mm.
That'll interfere with
our own communications.
It's a calculated risk,
but it's the best way
to stop our insurgents
in their tracks.
And our
current operation?
Won't be affected.
Choppers from the CR
will be at the Cull Facility
in four hours to airlift
the gas to Portland.
I intend to have all this
wrapped up by then.
Huck:
Where the hell are they?
The CRM's gotta be
looking for me.
You need those antibiotics,
and I need that C.4.
Those kids
are swimming upstream
through the tail end
of a shit storm.
Give them time.
I've been thinking about
this buddy of mine
from the early days.
He'd always talk about
his family's cabin
down in the Smokys.
On the banks
of the Pigeon River,
surrounded by
huge pine trees.
Sounds nice.
He went out on one of
the first resource runs.
Never came back.
I always wondered
if he went AWOL.
Got back there
and made his own
"happily ever after."
Thinking we could
do the same?
We could still
have a life.
We could.
After we blow the shit up,
haul ass to the CR,
expose to the government
and the press
what the military's done.
Details, details.
Even if
we make it in,
find a way to get word
to the right people
Who's to say
they'd even believe us?
If anybody can do this,
it's us.
We take what we got
and make it work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just the roadside assistance
I was looking for.
You good?
Everybody safe?
Yeah, they got there safe
on the second truck.
It's just us and
a decade's worth of research.
Right.
Get back.
Stay low, find cover.
Go, go, go!
Newton:
Dr. Bennett?
Why don't you and your friends
come on out, hands on heads?
You can't win this.
Hey.
Hey.
Almost had me worried.
Glad you're okay.
Good to see you,
kid.
We tried to radio.
Huck:
Yeah, me too.
CRM must be
jamming the comms.
Grabbed as many
as I could.
Dennis: Thanks for
not listening to me.
It means a lot,
what you did.
Good work.
What else can we do?
Head back,
meet up with the others.
It's still safest for you
on foot.
Minimum safe distance
is gonna be about three miles
once this place blows.
What about you?
They know
you helped us escape.
I --
You could come with us.
The people inside the CR
don't know
what the military has been doing
outside their walls.
They need to.
Dennis and I are gonna see to it
that they do.
Thanks.
You should go.
Just get there safe,
okay?
You too.
For what it's worth,
I'm proud of you.
You're the future,
kid.
Never forget that.
Elton:
We should go.
Silas?
You coming?
Yeah, no.
I'm gonna go with
Huck and Dennis.
What?
Dennis: Plaskett.
You need somebody to help
get you there,
and you
have to get there.
Pierce: Officer Stokes,
I have more news.
The C-4 they used
to cave in the tunnels
appears to have been
older M112s.
The kind designated
for the culling facilities?
Yes, ma'am.
Ready my helicopter.
Now.
Ma'am?
Mallick's husband runs
the culling outpost
where the gas
has been moved.
With respect, we were
as discreet as possible
with the move.
The gas was made to look like
a standard supply transfer.
I said
ready my helicopter.
You've gotten really good
at being a hero.
I'm not.
I'm just
helping a friend.
When I was leaving
the university, I ..
I didn't even have friends
to say goodbye to.
Elton: I don't think
this is goodbye.
Look, we found each other
twice before, alright?
We will again.
Yeah.
We will.
See ya.
Silas
Thank you.
For what?
Uh, for coming with me and Hope
when you barely knew us.
For saving my life
at that school.
For dancing with me
when I wanted to dance.
I was just following your lead
the whole time.
We all were.
It won't be long before
Huck has those charges set.
You should go.
See you around,
Silas.
Was headed to the underground
mall with the others.
Doubled back when I heard
your distress call.
Can't do this forever.
Split 'em up.
It'll be easier
to pick 'em off.
I'll circle around as a decoy,
cut through the trees.
Newton's an asshole.
He'll take the bait.
Trust me.
It's the smart play.
Shit.
People like you,
you're worse
than the dead.
Because you
are helping them win.
But not today.
Today, you lose.
Actually,
it's better like this.
You and me.
Let's go.
You said you'd kill me
if you ever had the chance,
so come on'
You've got yours,
I've got mine
No other weapons.
I'm offering you
a fair fight.
I read
your psych report.
You gonna disappoint me
like everyone else in your life?
Like all those people
at the Campus Colony
you vowed to protect?
Like your boyfriend,
who came here
to get away from you?
Hell,
your own parents
wanted nothing to do
with you.
You really wanna add me
to that list?
Yeah.
Have fun.
What is it?
What's wrong?
CRM isn't just
blocking the comms.
It's affecting
the remote detonators, too.
Gotta find another way
to set off those explosives.
Well, maybe we can rig
something up.
CRM could be here
any minute.
How far is that emergency
weapons cache you told me about?
Where we were gonna load up
on our way out?
Three miles.
Not sure if we've got
any timers stashed, but
we might.
'"Ight" is the best we got
right now.
I'll go.
I just need to know
where it is.
You should go
with him.
We can be there and back
in 20.
Okay.
What about you?
I'll stay here,
hide out if they come close.
Just be safe,
alright?
We got this.
Yeah, we do.
We take what we got,
and we make it work.
Now this
is a fair fight.
Sweep that warehouse,
secure the containers.
What did you get
out of betraying the Republic,
Jennifer?
We were supposed to fight
for humanity,
but there is nothing humane
about what the CRM's done.
So you got nothing.
You didn't live
out there.
You didn't lose a community.
Not one you made.
You can't appreciate
what we have,
what we can do.
Let's see
what you can do.
What you did
to Omaha ..
We had no choice.
Your mother understood that.
My mother
lost her way.
But this --
This was always who you were.
You traded someone
to get into the CR, right?
That was
your ticket in?
Somebody's life?
People are
a resource'
I had
someone special.
I had an "A,"
but I said that he was a "B"
so he wouldn't end up
in your mother's lab.
I owed him
that much.
So, yeah, I traded someone
to get into the city.
And then I saw
what this world could become,
so I signed up.
And now?
Now I'm doing all the things
that you couldn't.
Hold up.
You should let me
look at the wound.
I'm fine.
Gotta be a timed detonator
in one of these.
Kid.
You're a murderer.
You got the blood of
100,000 people on your hands.
I'm no more a murderer
than you.
Your observe-and-report
mission in Omaha?
What do you think all the intel
was used for?
How do you think we took out
an entire city
with just one
chemical strike?
You told us exactly where
the masses would gather
to commemorate
Monument Day.
The plazas.
The parks.
One year later,
we knew precisely where to hit.
All thanks to you.
It didn't
have to be this way.
You want me
to finish it?
You want
to die alone?
There's just
one thing I want.
I have
this gold watch.
It was my pop's.
One of the only things
I have to remember him by.
My mom,
she likes to say
it's the watch
that brought her
and me back together
after things fell apart.
I want you to tell her
that this time, it won't.
'Cause now?
Now it's going to bring me
and my dad back together.
How much time
do I have?
They're rigged
to blow!
We're leaving!
Now!
We're not far enough away
from the Outpost yet.
Okay,
we need to move faster.
Iris:
Faster through that?
Get clear!
Get in!
Come on!
Hurry!
Put these on.
Hey, move!
Hope!
Silas: I-I can just try
to stitch you back up,
and then maybe if we can
just get some more antibiotics.
She could still be coming.
She's not.
She sent us here
so we wouldn't be there.
We can still go.
We should.
I can get you
to the Civic Republic.
Kid,
I'm not gonna make it.
Look at me.
I never was.
But you --
She knew it, too.
It was just easier
to pretend.
Take the truck.
Find your friends.
No.
You said this was
about second chances, okay?
This is our chance.
I'm not just
gonna give up.
They must've
spotted the truck.
We can take 'em on.
No, we can't.
I'm not gonna make it
out of this.
Maybe there's a way
you still can.
Hand me your gun.
Why?
They know
I'm a traitor.
I'm dead
one way or another.
But if it looks like
you ended me,
it could convince them
that you weren't a part of this,
that you were just
a hostage
who got the upper hand
on his captor.
Making them see you
as a hero
it's how you live.
No.
No.
Gah.
You wanted
a second chance?!
This is it.
What are you saying?
Shut up!
Damn it, Plaskett.
It's the only way.
I'm not
gonna let you.
Then it has to
be you.
What Jennifer did to you,
you didn't deserve that.
And you sure as hell
don't deserve this.
But, Silas, you deserve
to have a life.
They come in here
and find us alive,
they'll kill us both.
They need to see you
as one of them.
That's why
it has to go this way.
What makes you think
they'd believe me?
Kid, you gotta make them
believe you.
If you don't at least try,
you're dead.
You gotta do it.
You gotta do it right now,
kid, okay?
We don't have time.
I'm gonna get in.
I'm gonna find
the right people,
and everyone will find out
what the CRM did.
Man:
Step out of the house.
Hands on head.
Just do it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Don't carry this.
And remember, no matter
what they tell you
you're not
one of them.
Do it.
Do it!
Felix:
How's he doing?
His breathing's shallow.
He lost
a lot of blood.
Maybe too much.
We should secure him.
Just in case.
He saved my life.
Indira
These were
in his bag.
What is it?
It's what
I need to live.
Hey.
Hey.
What's that?
It's Elton's.
Did you know
he started writing a book?
I was talking with
some of Indira's people.
A bunch of them
want out.
They're talking about heading
to Portland to warn them.
In a few days,
once it's safe.
You want us
to go with them?
W-Wait. We --
We can't leave Elton.
I'm not saying
we should.
I know this place
isn't permanent,
but it seems safe.
Cornell's close by.
There must be
lab equipment.
If you stay,
you could work on this place,
keep working
on the science for years.
So you want
to go with them?
It's what
I'm supposed to do.
I might not be making any sense
right now, but ..
Hope:
You are.
It's not about us.
It's about the future.
Not the CRM's.
Everybody's.
That's how I feel,
and I-I think
it's how Elton feels, too.
Leo: Iris.
You know I love you.
But I can't just let you
go .. I'd come back.
With reinforcements
from Portland.
It's not forever.
Nothing's forever.
Will: Maybe Felix and I
go with her.
There's too much
at stake here,
too much that needs
to be protected.
Felix:
She's right.
The CRM's close,
and scientists aren't fighters.
Iris is.
Appreciate you coming in,
Silas.
I bet you're wondering
why I asked you here.
You heard about
what I did.
Damn right I did.
Shooting Mallick's
treasonous husband in the face.
That must've been
quite the ordeal.
He was trying to force me
into something
I didn't wanna
be a part of.
He got
what he deserved.
Your friends, they were
part of the mutiny, too.
Did you know that?
They banished me from
their group going cross.country.
They were never
my friends.
That's a convincing story,
Silas.
But Dennis put you up to it,
didn't he?
To try and save you?
What?
No.
No, he didn't.
He did.
It's okay.
What matters is that you
actually went through with it.
After killing
your own father,
your own mother abandoning you
for it.
That takes strength.
Strength we could use.
I asked you here
'cause I heard
you're interested
in our military.
Was that a lie, too?
No.
I think I'd make
a good soldier.
Personally, I think
you'd make a great one.
I'll start you off
in basic training immediately,
take you on as
my own special project.
Would you like that,
Silas?
Yeah.
I would.
But you're wrong
about me.
I believe
in the CRM.
You don't
have to convince me.
I see you
for who you are
for who
you really are.
Even if
you don't yet.
But you will.
And I can't wait for you to see
who you're gonna become.
I know
it can be scary.
What did we
talk about before?
Remember?
Elizabeth.
Sorry for your loss.
I've just
got back to the city.
It's been
days of debriefing.
I instructed my team
to bring her to justice alive
and unharmed,
but she ..
She didn't give them a choice.
I read the report.
We haven't found
our scientists yet, but we will.
The scientists know
that we need them.
And now they know
what we've been doing.
I came
to see myself
as an ancestor
to a future world
that would be indebted
to my sacrifices.
So I did things
I did
monstrous things
so that that civilization
could reign again.
So that the others,
the humane, could ascend.
But what if,
after all that
it just
isn't possible?
Hm?
What if
it never was, Jadis?
Survivors --
whether individuals
or entire civilizations ..
Find opportunity
in calamity.
They don't break.
They don't let the weak
become strong.
They wait for the strong
to become weak.
I'm sitting here now
because I took the moment.
I saw the strongest person
I've ever met
become
entirely vulnerable.
I used it.
That's what
I'm doing now.
And what is it
that you're doing?
You are hereby remanded to
the Health and Welfare Complex
until which time
you will be tried
for Article 94
of the Uniform Code
of Civic Republic
Military Justice.
What the hell for?
For treason.
You see, Elizabeth, people are
looking for someone to blame.
This happened
on your watch.
Your own daughter
was a traitor.
Don't.
If anyone should've see it,
it should've been you.
She made you!
The Bennetts, well, they were
a threat, and what did you do?
You brought them in.
You let
the Perimeters live.
Everything that happened
happened because of you.
And when things went wrong,
you did nothing to stop it.
I did not
do nothing to stop it.
I believed.
And I brought you in
for a security audit.
You brought me
into a world of shit.
Oh, boo-hoo.
And you left
as things got out of control.
I suspect you brought me in
to take the fall.
Maybe that's your own version
of survival.
Either way,
the worse you look,
the better I do.
And there it is.
But I can help usher in
the new world
better than you can.
I don't have friends.
I don't have a child.
I have my ambition,
and I have the Republic.
Do you honestly believe
that people won't see
through what you're doing?
Ho!
Beale's gonna have your head
for this.
Who do you think signed
your arrest warrant?
You will not win.
I have won,
Elizabeth.
I had to.
We are the last light
of the world.
I love you.
I love you,
too, Dad.
Indira: My people --
she's in good hands with them.
And they're in good hands
with her.
Hm.
My route to Portland,
in case you need to find me
for any reason.
Just take care of yourself,
okay?
Take care
of each other.
I keep thinking about, uh,
how I said
the two of us
would save the world together.
I still think
we could.
Even if
we're not together.
All this
it didn't change us.
It just showed us
that who we are
is who we were.
Come here.
I love you
so much.
I know.
I love you, too.
Hey, Iris?
Grin, girl.
Hey.
What is it?
It's Elton.
He's awake.
Elton: There was a time I
thought that I was gonna die
that we were all
gonna die
because I believed
we were the last generation.
The Endlings.
And then, for a while, I
thought we were the beginning.
But that ignores everything
that came before,
everyone who came before.
What I know for sure
is that there's a lot
that's tough about the world,
a lot that's harder than
I ever thought it could be.
Those things have left
their mark on us
Man:
Plaskett, report to the helipad.
on all of us -- in ways
I.I never could've expected.
I also know there's a lot
that's good, that's beautiful.
A lot that brings me hope.
But maybe there is
no beginning.
Maybe there's no end.
Maybe there just is
and "is"
is whatever we make it.
Woman:
Three centimeters of tissue.
This rate of yeast-based decay
is extraordinary.
'Cause really,
we don't get to know.
There's no perfect modeling,
no --
no way to predict
if today is the last day.
If the world lasts a year
or two
or forever.
Maybe all we get to know
is now.
And whether we make
a small mark on this world
or we change it entirely,
it's really about
those little pieces of now
that get us there,
those small steps
that move us forward,
keep us growing and evolving.
'Cause all of those moments
put together,
that's a life.
And that's everything.
So, let's see who we really are,
shall we?
Dr. Jenner:
The problem, as I see it,
is that the samples
we have simply aren't fresh.
There's just
too many variables involved
on how the clock affects them,
and even after a few minutes,
we -- we can't get
an accurate picture
of the biology involved,
at least from the start.
We obviously have seen the end.
Again and again.
Still, we will have
fresh samples soon.
That's a certainty.
Well, in brighter news,
Ireviewed the latest data
on your side,
and the use of cardiac plaques
as a host medium
for steroidal therapies
to jump-start
the circulatory system
in the hopes of
short.circuiting the brain
or
perhaps regaining function
to cause nerve confusion is --
is a fascinating approach,
and ..
And we are all anxiously
awaiting anything
that comes back
from your first trial.
We all have to work
together here.
Solidarity, right?
Fact of the matter is,
we only have
so many supplies left.
We're not getting any more,
so everything counts
that much more.
Every collection.
Every test.
I almost broke
a petri dish yesterday
and almost put
my fist through wall.
Glad the other Dr. Jenner
stopped me.
The infirmary is closed.
Sealed, actually.
We've been venturing out
for the basics.
The "other Dr. Jenner" has
gotten pretty damn good at it.
But getting back to the data --
the idea of activating systems
to work against reanimation
is a promising idea.
But, as we've discussed,
the systems themselves
have to be studied
to see exactly how they're
working or not working
For example, can we build up
acids in bodies
that don't have blood flow?
Of course, that gets right back
to that idea
of jump starting
circulatory systems
We need to do two things
simultaneously ..
Observe this and attack this.
I want to know more about these
"variant cohorts"
you referred to
in our last communication.
We haven't seen anything
like that seen here at all,
nothing close.
I hope this finds you
as well as you can be.
I hope you don't lose faith.
The day will come when we are
going to beat this thing.
At least, that's what
the "other Dr. Jenner"
keeps telling me.
And as you know,
she's smarter than me.
Solidarité. A bientöt.
