Legion (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Chapter 24 - full transcript

David seeks to recover the time traveler that Cary took. The others retreat into low space orbit to try and evade combat. Farouk undermines their plan by contacting and taunting David via telepathy. Some characters are killed or kill themselves, some lose their minds.

Tangentially on Legion...

War.

- (laughter)
- Where's Switch?

He took her. The scientist.

Cary? Took...

(whispers): You, you
want me to come with you?

Where we're going,
you won't have to hide.

Nothing that hurts me is real.

- (thunder crashes)
- I am God.

Thank you.

- LENNY: For what?
- Always being there for me.



(screaming)

Here's the thing, I'm gonna
need you to take me back.

- Not far.
- I don't, I don't think
I can do another...

You're not gonna
lose any more...

I'm sorry.

It was too far.

My dad collects robots.

Sometimes, at
night, I go in there,

pretend I'm a robot, too.

Do you believe that
I'm a good person?

That I deserve love
just like everybody else?

Of course.

Because we can fix this world.

All the bad things.



We just got to start over.

God, you are such a narcissist.

I found Switch. She's
on an airship, moving fast.

- I think I can...
- Blah, blah, blah, blah.

I thought I was a narcissist.

But then I held my baby.

That wasn't your baby.

That was a trick,
just like my mother.

No.

I held her.

And I thought,

"I am such an asshole."

Man, all those years,

all those shitty,
pointless years.

Getting high. (inhales)

Well, you're still high.

LENNY: No.

I was better.

I was good, okay?

We had plans.

But then you ruined it.

Leave Daddy alone.

No, it's okay.

She's making a choice to mope.

Mope?

They killed my family.

We are your family.

Now get it in gear.

We got to go get Switch.

But, look, if we do this,

change the past, then...

I don't know.

Maybe you...

get her back.

If we are the rabbit,

We need a plan.
We can't fight him.

I can beat him.

Maybe, but he's

Farouk.

He called me.

He didn't like our plan.

Did you find her?

Switch? No, I can't see her.

Cary built a tank.

She's in the lab.

Did you ever think
you'd go to space?

Why would you do that,

tell me where she is?

You're gonna find her anyway.

I'm not mad anymore.

I was.

So Clark, Lenny, we all...

get a do-over.

What happened to Lenny?

She abandoned me.

Like my parents.

- Like you.
- No, no.

No, you left me.

Remember?

I listened to you.

I trusted you.

(sighs) I know.

It's not fair.

I was jealous.

Of myself. Isn't that crazy?

I should have trusted you.

But she showed
me things. Melanie.

You mean Farouk
showed you things.

He put ideas in my head
that you betrayed me,

that you were evil.

And I believed him.

Now look at us.

You left me.

(whispers): To fix things.

To be with you.

Well, it doesn't matter.

'Cause you're gonna
change everything.

So none of this will happen.

We'll never meet.

Or fall in love.

(Syd sighs)

(whispers): Do you
think that it hurts?

What?

Being erased.

It's okay.

I want another chance, too.

I love you.
