Dominion (2014–2015): Season 2, Episode 5 - Son of the Fallen - full transcript

Previously on "Dominion"...

[grunts]

We created the V-system

so that everyone
had a job to do,

but they have no way out.

Zoe is a problem
that I can't solve.

Now we have an enemy
in our own walls?

How many rebels do you have,
a hundred?

With my help,
you will have thousands.

Alex, what is that?

- A nuclear bomb.
- Oh, it's worse.



How do you have
one of the amphorae?

I can use it

to kill Gabriel and Michael

and their whole family.

I can't save you,
but there is someone I can.

Alex, the boy is like a son.
He needs me.

Maybe sparing Claire,
Vega, your unborn baby

was too much to offer.

New Delphi is a dangerous place
for you to go alone, Michael.

You're strong, but...

Will you go with me?

As my brother?

Fighting on the same side?
Hmm, be careful.

You might like it.



[screams]

[crowd gasps]

[crowd chatter]

[crowd screaming]

[alarm blaring]

Oh, that'll be Gabriel.

He's come back for you, Alex,

and after he kills you,

he'll go on killing
every other human alive,

including the ones in Vega

you've been fighting
so hard to protect.

Is that what you want?

[crowd screaming]

- I'm not your enemy, Alex.
- Prove it.

Tell me how to trap Gabriel in
New Delphi, so I can kill him.

I'll be glad to

once you return
the amphora to me.

Or I could open this up.

Release god's wrath
on all of us.

We don't even know
who we're talking to...

The angel or the human.

Technically, as a dyad,
you're talking to both.

We're fused, remember?

[crowd screaming]

Look, we all want Gabriel dead.

I don't see why we can't
work together on this.

He does have an army, Alex.

Yeah, of eight-balls
that we can't trust.

Fortunately, your amphora
will destroy every living thing

in this city, including Gabriel.

You see, Julian,

we're willing to die
to kill Gabriel...

To end this war
between angels and humans.

Question is, are you?

[crowd screaming]

Go, go!
[screaming]

Stop.

All right.

May I?

At the far end
of the trading floor,

there's an old
medical facility.

A caduceus marks the entrance.
Winged staff, snakes.

[coughing]

You mentioned a trap before.
Is this the trap?

[coughs]

It's more of a secure space

with the weapons necessary
to capture Gabriel

so that my men
can go to work on him.

I call it "The Inner Sanctum,"

and it is our best shot.

Best shot?

I'm afraid you're gonna have
to do better than that.

Well, no one's killed
an archangel before,

so there are certain risks
involved.

But history always needs
a first, eh, Alex?

Tell your men to be ready.

Alex, are you sure about this?

No.

[coughing]

[door opens and closes]

[whooshing]

[whooshing]

Hello, Alex.

You better run.

We're gonna get you.
We're gonna kick your ass.

[all grunting]

Leave the boy alone!

Come on, let's go.
Let's get out of here.

Let's go!

[groaning]

[grunting]

Are you hurt?

More rations for them
if you're dead.

Who are you?

Someone who wants you
to live through the night.

Where have you been?

I'm sorry, Alex.

Sorry?

You just took off.

I had to leave.

To protect you.

Protect me from what?

From me.

Well, a lot happened
while you were away.

Noma and I
survived the aerie.

Made it all the way
to New Delphi.

Hell, we even captured a dyad.

- A dyad?
- Yeah, Julian.

Alex, a dyad is far stronger
than any eight-ball.

Julian will want
the markings for himself.

Please, you must come with us.

Who is us?

Gabriel.

You came here with Gabriel?

He promised me
he won't harm you, Alex.

Michael, you have no idea what
he put me through in the aerie.

Julian is the one
you need to worry about.

- Please come with me.
- No.

You want to help me?

Just stay out of my way.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

Get that thing out of here.

Where would I even hide it?

You got wings, don't you?

You call out to your guards,
I'll put a bullet in your skull.

Have to say
I'm flattered...

Edward Riesen, the once mighty
general of Vega

ordered to babysit me.

I don't take orders
from anyone.

Well, take a seat.
You need the rest.

I prefer to stand.
Thanks.

Oh, come on, Edward.
The coughing, the sweating.

You're short of breath.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say you were suffering from
a serious medical condition.

What... what is the number one
killer of men?

Oh, yes, heart disease.

After angels, of course.

Been a long time
since I killed an angel.

The more you talk,
the more I miss it.

Well, I'm only
part angel, remember.

Part of me is just like you, Edward.

But unlike you,
I'm not gonna die.

Though, uh, I do get thirsty.

[exhales deeply]

What if I were to tell you
I could make you a dyad like me?

Once possessed,
the body stops aging.

Stops dying.

And your human spirit
can live in beautiful symbiosis

with an angel

who'll provide the strength
and vitality that

you sorely lack.

Oh, come on, Edward.
Just think about it, yeah?

I mean, I'd hate to see
a great warrior like you

die of a broken heart.

There is nothing beautiful
about what you are.

You are a monster.

[chuckles]

Oh, you old flatterer, you.

- Still no word on Zoe?
- No.

Our rebel friends
have gone quiet.

Not even yours truly
can find them.

And Zoe made off
with a crate,

and we have no idea
what was in it.

[both laugh]

What if we took a page
out of Gabriel's playbook?

Stop chasing Zoe ourselves
and let someone closer to her

do the job for us.

Yeah, we plaster her face
all over the Vega

and offer a reward to anyone
who brings her in.

Genius.
Yeah.

A bounty on Zoe's head.
Dead or alive.

One, two, three.

Sweet ride.

How long before Claire
notices it's missing?

Only 24 hours.

She's been keeping a close eye
on the barracks

since Mills got
snatched up.

Hey, if we're gonna die,

we might as well go out
with a bang

and a four-wheel drive, right?

Blowing up buildings, really?

That's the plan?

Actually, my plan was
to shoot you...

But I'm not the boss.

In case you didn't notice,

they aren't building
mega casinos anymore.

What're you trying to do,
turn Vega into a refugee camp?

For some of us, it already is.

[gunfire]
Zoe, get down!

Jasper!

Gotcha.

[tense music]

♪ ♪

Hey.

Stay.
Stay there.

Sit down.

He's one of ours.

- Zoe?
- Hold pressure right there.

I think you better
see this.

"Vega is offering a lifetime
of food and shelter

"to the family of anyone
who captures

or ki... kills Zoe Holloway."

What happened?

Where's Julian?

Well, I don't know whether it
was the angel or the human part,

but I think one of them
just kicked my ass.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.
Now, the amphora... is it safe?

Yeah, but Alex won't be.
Not with Julian free.

I've got to find him
before Julian does.

Sure you're okay?

That bad, huh?

We got to get you
help fast.

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

We can't go out there.

Everyone'll be looking
for you.

It's my face on that paper,
not yours.

Zoe... People die
outside V-1 clinics every day

just trying to get in.

Even if I did, there'd be no doctors

and no medicine.

No, I'm better off here...
With you.

Look, I'll negotiate
a cease-fire with Claire,

use our weapons as leverage.

Get you a doctor.

You're crazy.

They'll take you hostage.

You want us both to die?

[groaning]

I'll go.

No.

Come on, what's the worst
Claire can do?

Shoot me again?

Look, just try to stay calm, okay?

I'll find someone
to send, don't worry.

Who?
[panting]

For a bounty like that,

hell, I'd turn you in myself.

I'm available.

Nice try.

Negotiating's what I do.

You said it yourself...

You got no one else
to send.

How do I know
you won't bolt?

And go where?

Everyone in the city
thinks I have a predilection

for eight-ball sex.

I'm a pariah, down here,
up there... doesn't matter.

The fact is,
I'm probably safer with you

than anywhere else in Vega.

Come on, Zoe, look around.

I've already given you
food, a place to hide.

Frankly, I think I'm the only one

who's keeping
this little operation going.

I just saved your life, didn't I?

Now, let me save his.

Claire.

We just got a message
from Zoe.

She wants to negotiate.

Any conditions?

She wants to sit down
at a mutually agreed upon place

and a few basic
medical supplies.

Someone must have
been hurt.

Zoe will send an emissary.

So should you.

I'm willing to go
on your behalf.

No, it's too dangerous.

Arika, you just got here.

To help Claire
in any way possible.

I put down two rebellions
in Helena.

These radicals usually send
whichever lackey

draws the shortest straw.

I'll hear their demands

and report back to you.

Okay.

Alex. Alex!

You bring
this kind of carnage with you

wherever you go?

Where's Noma and Riesen?

I needed to talk to you.
Don't worry, they're fine.

Now, my guards inform me

that not one
but two archangels

have found their way
into my city.

That's a 25-year record
broken.

Have you ever wondered

why Michael hasn't just
killed Gabriel yet, hmm?

Michael could end this war
right now if he wanted.

But he won't.

What are you talking about?

They're brothers, Alex.

They're twins.

God created them

out of darkness
in the exact same moment.

Can you imagine?

[laughs]

Even a dyad's bond is nothing
compared to theirs.

Now, look, I know
you and Michael are close,

and loyalty is an admirable
quality in a foot soldier.

But you came here
to lead an army, win a war,

and sacrifices
must be made, my friend.

Now, Michael trusts you.

If you lure him into the trap,

Gabriel will follow.

You can save Vega, Alex,

but it comes at a price.

You trap Michael, you kill Gabriel,

and you end this war.

Or I could just kill you...

Right now.

But you won't

because you know I'm right.

I've waited thousands
of years

for this moment,

and I can't live with myself
if Gabriel gets away.

Can you?

I've seen men
go to great lengths

to get my attention before, David,

but this is extreme.

Even for you.

[rattling]

The boy is dying, Arika.

He needs a doctor,
not a fistful of vitamins.

Antibiotics and painkillers
are in short supply.

A doctor can be
arranged quickly

when Zoe and her rebels
turn themselves in.

Zoe sent me to arrange
a cease-fire, not a surrender.

Excuse me, who are you?

Zoe sent me
to keep an eye on him.

A one-on-one negotiation.

Those were the terms
we agreed upon.

Let me know
when your people get serious.

She won't talk
with you here.

Do you want Jasper to die
because of you?

I'll be right outside.

Now, where were we?

You have to get me
out of here.

Tell Claire I'm willing to do
whatever it takes

to get back to Whele tower.

David, you slept with an eight-ball.

We both know that's bullshit.

Claire just has to release
a statement exonerating...

David, shut up.

Tell me about Zoe.

The crate, what's inside?

C-4.

Maybe a few hundred pounds.

They stole a truck
this morning.

Plan is to blow up
Caesars Palace

and Claire with it.

- When?
- Tomorrow morning.

Convince Zoe
to turn herself in.

There's not a lot of reasoning
with an anarchist.

They want everything to go bad.
That's the whole point.

Then you're going
to have to bring us

the explosives yourself.

You can't be serious.

Claire needs
this little situation resolved,

so she can focus
on the real war,

the one outside Vega.

Bring us that truck in three hours,

and we'll return the favor.

What does that mean?

A comfortable life.

V-3 or above.

Your reputation restored.

How do I know Claire will keep
her end of the deal?

You have three hours.

Have you found the boy?

Julian's not a human.
He's a dyad.

Only disembodied higher angels
are powerful enough

to form a dyad
with a human soul.

All the more reason to bring
this city to its knees.

Do it now.

[alarm sounds]

Once in a while, humans come up
with something quite clever.

Military defense protocol

designed to keep
the enemies out...

Or our enemies in.

(woman) Lockdown activated
in ten minutes.

Gabriel, no.

We need to get Alex
out of here.

I'll help you with Alex
once I lay waste to this city.

Julian's been killing
our brothers and sisters

for decades, Michael,
while we looked the other way.

- Not anymore.
- It's too dangerous.

Protect yourself.
Let me finish this.

I ran from this city once.

I won't do it again.

[groaning]

Your recklessness has got us
into trouble before.

I can't take
that chance now.

You'll heal in time,
but this is the only way

to protect you from Julian
and Alex from you.

I can't let either of you
be harmed.

If you can't walk or run,
you can't be part of this.

You can only fly,
away from here.

Michael, don't do this alone!

[growls]

I purged him to the V-1s
two days ago,

And now he's speaking on behalf
of a V-1 rebellion?

Gotta admit, I'm kinda impressed.

We all know David has
certain underhanded tendencies,

but in this case,
he's right where we want him.

(Claire) Yeah, but he's a politician,
not a secret agent.

Do you really think he can
steal the explosives on his own?

David's a man
who gets what he wants.

And right now,
there's nothing he wants more

than to be back up here with us.

Oh, damn it.

Our tail just lost David
in part of the northwest quad

where the surveillance cameras are down.

They must have known.

I mean, it narrows
the search, but...

If Zoe detonates
that much C-4,

How much damage
are we talking?

Four or five city blocks
or more.

We need to evacuate
right now.

No, evacuation sends
the wrong message.

Yes, "we want to live,"
which is a message

I am perfectly okay with.

(Claire)
I am not running away.

Create a perimeter
ten blocks wide.

I don't want any military trucks
near this hotel.

If David delivers for us,
making him a V-1

could actually turn out to be
the smartest move I ever made.

[door opens and closes]

This is it?

Claire won't send a doctor

unless you
turn yourself in.

She put a soldier
on us too.

We had to take
the crowded alley

behind circus circus
to shake him.

Sit.

I thought we had
an understanding.

Yeah, and I thought
you could get Jasper help.

I guess we were both wrong.

[grunts]

(Zoe)
Radio me if you need to.

(Jasper)
Zoe, what's going on?

I need to talk
to our rebels in the corps.

I won't wait until morning.

We're bombing Riesen tower
tonight.

Vega will change, and I'm gonna
make sure you live to see it.

[door opens and closes]

Always look
for the highest perch.

High places keep you safe,

Allow you to see
what's coming.

I wonder where
my dad is right now.

All he left me was a note.

My own father disappeared.

Did you leave you a note?

In a way.

A message.

But I can't read it.

My dad has
bad handwriting too.

Those boys
are gonna kill me.

Only if you let them.

They're bigger than me.

I'd be dead
if you hadn't stopped them.

This world is filled
with monsters

far worse
than those boys, Alex.

The blade I gave you...

You must use it.

We can't wait
for our fathers to return, Alex.

We must fight our battles
on our own.

Dad never taught me how.

Mine did.
I'll teach you.

[snarling]

[yells]

Michael, you were right
about Julian.

I should have
listened to you.

But I abandoned you, Alex.

I can't change that.

You did what you had to.

[alarm blaring]

(woman) System lockdown begins
in five minutes.

The tunnels will be sealed
in minutes.

We need to get you out.

I'm not leaving Noma
and Riesen here to die.

This way.
Follow me.

(Gates) None of these chairs
throne-like enough

for the lady of the city?
Sit down.

You're making everyone
nervous.

David is running
out of time.

(Gates) With no way
of communicating with us.

Didn't Riesen ever teach you
that patience is a virtue?

It is entirely possible
that Zoe killed David

the moment he got back
to them

and we're standing around
like idiots,

waiting on a dead man.

[gasping]
Lady Riesen?

Call a doctor.

We need a medic in here.
Medic to control room now.

What's wrong?
Talk to me.

May I help you?

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

Don't worry, Whele.

I'm gonna make sure
you don't outlive me.

Well, that's a relief.

Where's Noma and Riesen?

I'm sorry.

I meant what I said.

I forgive you, Michael.

Please forgive me.

Noma, get out of here!

Guards, stand down!

What are you doing?

25 years.
6 billion people dead.

It has to stop.

Julian's right.

If we imprison Michael,

Gabriel will come.

This is my chance.

Nomes, I gotta do this.

Alex, no!

You saw what that dyad
did to Pete.

Are you really
gonna trust him?

No!

But I have enemies to defeat,

from the biggest
to the smallest.

Alex...

And they don't get
any bigger than Gabriel.

I'm standing right here, Alex.

Why don't you come
and get me?

I want a word
with Julian, Alex.

Where is your new friend?

[all grunting]

What has Alex done to you?

You promised you wouldn't
harm him.

Get Alex out of here
while there's still time.

Is there anything
this boy could do

that could possibly
turn you against him?

No.
Our fates are tied.

[alarm blaring]

(woman)
Lockdown complete.

Remain at your stations.

Await further instruction.

How much of this
must I endure?

Look at us.

You, me, father.

Our sister dead
under a mountain.

He's tearing
this family apart.

It's not my fault
your father left.

I was a day old when you two
started this war.

A coincidence?
I don't think so!

[breathing heavily]

You choose him
over us every time.

Well, Michael, I choose you.

I'm going to save you, brother,

by doing the one thing
you can't.

Your attention.

Curfew is now in effect...

If you come by the clinic,

we can find out

Okay.

For now, best to get some rest.

None of us are getting

But I will take it easy.

Thank you.

Everything's
going to be okay.

Thank you.

Uh, a baby?

Congratulations.

Uh, if I'd known,

Kissed me?

It's okay.

People do strange things
when they think

they're about to die, right?

[chuckles]

I know it's not William's.

Claire, I saw a photograph
of the two of you

on your wedding day.

I think the bouquet had
stronger feelings

for William than you did.

The father was a soldier.

But he's gone now, and...

I want to believe
he's still alive,

but he can't be
because if he were, he...

I'm sorry.

Claire, I...

Any man who loved you
and loved your baby

would be by your side
right now

if it were
humanly possible.

He was human, right?

All too human.

Lady Riesen.

A call just came in from
the truck that went missing.

The man claims to be
David Whele.

David?
Whele, are you there?

The explosives.
I got them.

[exhales sharply]

Tell us where you are
and we'll come get you.

Vega's a beautiful city, isn't it?

We created
something wonderful.

David, what's going on?

If you think I won't
honor our deal, you're wrong.

Just bring the C-4 to me,

and you will never have to be
a V-1 again.

I promise.

No, no, I believe you.

(Claire)
So what's the problem?

It takes so much to build
something in this world,

and so little to take it down.

(Claire)
Vega is not gonna fall tonight.

David, we can make sure of that.

We can do this together.

You could've killed me, Claire.

Why didn't you?

Because you're a human being.

[laughing]

Claire Riesen...

Convinced she can save
every person in this city

all by herself.

The V-1s taught me something, Claire.

We've been dividing
the people for years.

Up there and down here.

Vega's like
two different cities now.

I'm starting to think
that maybe

it's the way it should be.

David?
David?

I want Vega on lockdown,
the whole city on high alert,

every guard armed and ready
for when David comes for us.

Nice try.
Any last words?

- Get in.
- What?

I built this city
when you were in diapers.

You want to bring it down,
I'm the guy who knows how.

Come on, Jasper.
You got a gun.

Keep it on me,
but get in the damn truck.

You seem like a nice kid,

and frankly you don't
have much time,

so why don't we go
see you off with a bang?

Come on.

Old man,
where are we going?

Oh, straight to the top.

[heavy breathing]

What would father say?

I don't know.

Let's bring him back
and find out.

The markings on Alex's body
are father's final message.

If you harm him,
they'll disappear forever.

What good is a message
if nobody can read it?

Gabriel, please.

Killing the boy won't matter.

All we ever needed
was his skin.

[both grunting]

(Michael) If you kill him,
you may as well kill me.

I'll never forgive you.

[chuckles]

Oh, yes, you will.

Put him down.

Gently.

Alex, are you okay?

Good work, Alex.

Looks like you and I

What are you waiting for?
Kill him! Kill Gabriel now!

Patience, Alex.

Patience.

So what do you think
of this body of mine?

It's all right, isn't it?

Think it suits me.

Much as I enjoy drifting
in darkness,

it is nice to be back
on two feet again.

[grunting]

You don't recognize me, do you?

Come on, Michael, think.

All right, I'll give you a clue.

Last time you saw me,

we burned two cities
to the ground,

but you looked down
on my methods.

Lyrae,

you have broken the will of god

and must be punished.

[grunting]

Lyrae.

[chuckles]

Mm.

You banished me
to the outer sphere

for taking joy
in delivering god's punishment.

But you were
my inspiration, Michael.

I learned it all from you.

I was wrong.

I know that now.

It's too late.

You can't escape the sins
of your past,

and you, too, must be punished.

[grunting]

(Alex)
Use the empyrean steel net!

Come and get me.
[grunting]

[screaming]

[grunting]

(Julian)
Gotcha.

(man)
Julian, he's gone!

(Julian)
Find Michael!

These are beautiful.
Who drew them?

An old friend.

One foolishly obsessed
with the chosen one.

An old friend
or a dead one?

A friend who outlived
her usefulness.

You know I hate it
when you're cryptic.

Please don't treat me like

I'm just another doctor
of Helena.

I've always looked out for you,
haven't I?

I appreciate your protection,

but I want your trust, too.

I know you didn't come
back to Vega to play mentor.

I like Claire.

She's a strong
and capable woman.

Just the kind of leader
the cradle needs.

Shame we have to take
her city.

Then what are
we waiting for?

I should be cutting Claire's
throat, not caring for...

Careful, Daria.

Even doctors can outlive
their own usefulness.

You only spent a few days
in Helena.

It's worse than you think.

I've heard the reports.

I know the storms
have worsened...

Tiring our people...

Weakening our defenses...

Our city is running
out of time.

Soon Helena's women
will need a new home.

That's why we're here,

but we must first make room.

[heavy breathing]

I have to go.

Why? Wh...
Where are you going?

You can't just
leave me here.

Trust your instincts.

You will make
the right choice.

I have faith in you, Alex.

What is it?

What have I done, Nomes?

Jasper!
Jasper, are you there?

148, 149, 150.

[grunting]

(Zoe)
Jasper, do you read me?

Relax, Zoe.
I'm here.

Zoe, listen up.

You're going to do
exactly as I say.

Get the V-1s
out of the tunnels, now.

Get them to run.
Understand?

What? Why?

Because if there any V-1s
left in the tunnels in...

- How long do we have?
- Ten minutes.

In ten minutes,
they're going to be dead.

(Zoe)
Jasper, tell me what's going on.

Do it, Zoe.
Please.

What can I do?
I'm here to help.

Claire, I'm getting reports

that V-1s are moving east

out of the tunnels
and they're in a hurry.

Those tunnels lead
all the way across Vega.

That's thousands of people.

[crowd screaming]

[explosion]

[explosions]

Oh, holy shit.

[booming]

[electronic beeping]

[chuckling]

(Gates) The Agri-tower's
on the other side.

I think David
just stole our food.

He did more than that.
He split the city in two.

David whele just started
a civil war.
