Revolution (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 12 - Ghosts - full transcript

After Danny's funeral Miles leaves the rebel headquarters determined to find his former senior people who supported him when he tried to kill Monroe. The first is Jim Hudson and with Nora accompanying him quickly learns where his old comrade is living. He doesn't get a very warm reception and Hudson, now married and living a new life, doesn't want any part of killing Monroe. He's left with little choice however. Back at the rebel camp, Rachel tries to connect with Charlie who has grown cold since the death of her brother. Randall Flynn shows Munroe how he can track the pendants when they're turned on. They locate the two pendants in Aaron's possession and launch an attack against the rebel camp. Rachel knows exactly what needs to be done. A flashback shows how, a year before the blackout, Randall Flynn learned that his son was killed on duty in Afghanistan. He was also Rachel's boss who ordered the weapon fired on the night of the blackout.

MlLES:
Previously on Revolution:

We have light, power,
and 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.

NORA: Miles, I gotta go.
- Where?

Rebel headquarters, downtown Annapolis.
To tell them about this.

What if I was able to get the rebels
missile launchers?

A guy I used to work with can help us.

- Rachel?
- Hey, John.

- How can I help you, Mister...?
- Flynn. Randall Flynn.

And the question, general,
is how can we help you?



MlLES:
Danny!

[GUNFlRE]

RACHEL:
I love you, Danny.

I love you to the moon and back.

NORA:
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?

RAMSEY: I'll get the wounded
to the field hospital in Lexington.

You take everyone else to Echo Base.

Regroup, patch up,
and 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, that's all.

- Miles.
- You wanna 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.
- Oh, I can find him.

Not sure about the second part.

Do 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?

Scouts saw Militia troops
about two 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.

MONROE: Those are the pendants.
RANDALL: 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 them on remotely,
give them a little ping to see where they are.

Neat trick, right?
A woman named Grace taught me.

And 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.

Jim Hudson's 20 miles away in Culpeper.

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 wanna talk about?

- Not really, no.
- 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.

MAN:
Move.

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.

Culpeper.

- They were heading to Culpeper.
DECKERT: Thank you.

Now kill this stupid son of a bitch
and give me back my diamonds.

Wait, wait, no. Come on, stop!

[DOOR OPENS]

Charlie?

Charlie, hey.

Wait, what happened on the raid?
Charlie?

You're bleeding.

It's not my blood.

You ever picture Jim in a place like this?

It's a little Stepford, right?

MlLES:
Hey, Shakespeare.

You know where I can find Jim Hudson?

MAN:
Sorry, don't know him.

Of course.

When was the last time
you saw a library?

MAN:
One of my favorite books.

You'll enjoy this one.

It's about the end of the world.

MlLES:
Hey, Jim.

I'm sorry, you must have me mistaken
for someone else.

That's weird, because you look really
familiar to me, Mister...

Bemis. Henry Bemis.

And you work here, Mr. Bemis?
You're a librarian?

That's right.

SOPHlE: Henry? Honey.
- Yeah, thank you.

- Hi.
MlLES: Hi.

- Hi. You're his...
- I'm his wife. Sophie.

Married? Well, congratulations, Henry.

- These friends of yours?
- No, uh, they were just leaving.

Actually, no, we kind of love this town.

I could see us staying here
for quite a while.

Traveling salesman, so...

I'll hear him out.

All right, Jim, first of all,
I just wanna apologize-

You're leaving now.

Jim, take it easy.

- Just hear me out.
- I said, now.

- Jim, we need your help.
HUDSON: My help?

Just like last time?

I got you into Monroe's bedroom.

All you had to do was pull the trigger.

But you left me and the other guys
holding the bag.

That's why I'm here.

Let's finish the job.

Let's go kill Monroe.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, God, Charlie.

It's nothing.

- Wait, let me see.
- I'm fine.

- I gotta go back out.
- No, that's enough.

You can't keep doing this.
You'll get yourself killed.

- Just stop, all right.
- I am not gonna lose you too.

You are not going anywhere.

- It's not up to you.
- I'm your mother.

Since when?

You weren't there for me, you weren't there
for Danny and you don't get to-

Charlie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[PENDANTS POWERlNG UP]

RACHEL: What the hell just happened?
- Oh, yeah, they do that sometimes.

No, they don't do that, Aaron.
I've never seen them do that.

- When did it start?
- I don't know.

It happened once at Grace Beaumont's
house and once in a lighthouse.

Why didn't you tell me?

[AlR RAlD SlREN WAlLlNG]

- What's going on?
NlCHOLAS: Humvees. A truck.

- They're heading in this direction.
- How is that possible?

Because Monroe's got power again.

HUDSON:
You've always been crazy.

But this?

You still think Monroe's
dangerous, right?

I'll be the first to admit,
I'm not a fan of Monroe.

- But I can't do this.
- Sure, you can.

HUDSON:
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.

Okay?

I've gotta do better. I've gotta be better.
For her.

She doesn't even know your name.

Come on, Jim.

You can't run from who you are.

You cannot wash that much blood
off your hands.

Sooner or later,
it's gonna catch up to you.

I've got a life here.

And I'm not leaving.

I don't care what you say.

NlCHOLAS: Keep moving, everyone out.
- How will Miles and Nora find us?

Don't worry, Nora knows where
the rendezvous point is. Come on.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

CHARLlE: Hey, where's my mom?
- I thought she was with you.

- What are you doing? Militia's coming.
- Not just Militia. It's Randall.

- Who's Randall? What are you doing?
- Destroying the pendants.

- What?
RACHEL: They're tracking them.

We can't let them have them.

CHARLlE:
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.

Go! Get out!

[AMPLlFlER HUMMlNG]

What we're after is inside. Follow me.

This is crazy. You can't destroy them.
Miles tried.

How did you do that?

It's a frigging flash drive?

Rachel, what's on the flash drive?

Nothing now.

[TRACKER BEEPlNG]

Seal the exits.

SOLDlER 1: Seal off the perimeter!
SOLDlER 2: All right, let's go!

[DOORBELL RlNGS]

RANDALL: Expecting someone?
- No.

WlNSLOW:
Are you Randall and Lisa Flynn...

...parents of Sergeant Edward Flynn,
stationed at Bagram Air Base?

- Yes.
WlNSLOW: Mr. and Mrs. Flynn...

...the Secretary of the Army has asked me
to express his deep regret...

...that your son Edward was
killed in action in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The secretary extends his deepest
sympathy to you and your family...

Look, we'll just find someone else.

It'll be all right.

[HORSES WHlNNY]

MlLES:
That's a kill squad.

Miles, they're on their way to Culpeper.
You think they're coming for Hudson?

Or me.

Or both of us.

[MEN SPEAKlNG INDlSTlNCTLY]

Get down. Get down.

SOLDlER:
I thought something came in this way.

SOLDlER:
Let's go.

Check the next one.

[WHlSPERlNG]
Who is this guy?

[WHlSPERlNG]
His name is Randall Flynn.

He was the Assistant Secretary
of the DOD.

And my boss.

- You worked for the DOD?
- What is that?

Department of Defense.

You were building a weapon.

It didn't start out that way...

...but, yes.

What?

RANDALL [OVER MEGAPHONE]:
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.

I can live without the pendants,
but I'm not leaving without you.

We gotta talk.

HUDSON:
What the hell are you doing back here?

MlLES:
Militia unit's on its way in, kill squad.

- Your cover's blown.
- You son of a bitch.

- They followed you here.
- Nora and I, we can help, okay?

- Let's all fight them off together.
- I am not fighting.

Okay? I have a wife
and people that I care about.

Guys like us can't have that!

You care about somebody...

...you're just gonna let them down,
or worse, get them killed.

Believe me, I know.

So stop pretending
to be something you're not.

We are killers, Jim.

That's all we are.

SOPHlE:
Who's Jim?

What?

What's he talking about?

Tom, how are you?

I'm fine, sir.

No, I mean, how are you and your wife
holding up after Jason's passing?

We're fine, sir. Thank you.

So you wanted to see me?

Yes, sir. I heard about the mission
to retrieve Rachel Matheson.

Yes?

Well, I was just wondering
why I'm not on it.

Tom, after all you've been through,
you need a minute to grieve.

But 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.

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 time. We're running scenarios.
- You've run tests for a year, all 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. Why wouldn't we?

RACHEL: 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?

SOLDlER:
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!

[GRUNTS]

AARON:
Let's go!

I'm Jim Hudson.

Think you're looking for me.

Where's Miles Matheson?

MlLES:
Right here.

Might wanna just surrender, captain.

We've got you surrounded.

That so?

Cuff him.

[MEN GRUNTlNG]

[FOOTSTEPS NEARBY]

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.

- Years have been good to you.
- 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, if 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.

Just killed each other.

Like children playing with-
Well, with electricity.

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.

Burnt it down.

And when you burn down the old,
new things grow.

We can make a better world, Rachel,
a safer one.

Yes, people have died. It's a tragedy.

But you either let that grief define you
or you learn from it.

Come on, come on. Go, go, go!

[GASPS]

Where are you?

I know you're in here.

I saw the way Hudson
was looking at you.

His little bitch.

Let's see how tough Hudson is...

...after I cut your sweet little throat.

HUDSON:
Hey!

[SOPHlE SCREAMS]

Was anything the truth?

Yeah, the important stuff.

Sophie, I love you. I-

Don't say that to me.

You ruined my life, Miles. Again.

You're a damn wrecking ball.

I'm still gonna go with you.

- Seriously?
HUDSON: What other choice do I have?

General Matheson, sir.

NORA:
Hey, what the hell happened?

We looked for you at Echo Base.
It was a mess.

It's a long story.
I'm just glad you found us.

Where's Rachel and Charlie?

Hey.

I owe you an apology.

I said some terrible things.

It's okay.

For so long, all I wanted was
to get Danny back.

And now I never will.

I know, baby.

- Kabul, what's our status?
KARMAN: One moment, sir.

The virus is in place.

Tower, are you ready?

Ready.

Tower, prepare to execute.

Mr. Flynn, are you absolutely
sure about this?

Tower...

...execute.

AARON:
Rachel, I think we need to talk.

I can't even begin to imagine
what you've been through. I can't.

But we almost died today.

I deserve to know what's going on.

You don't want to know.

We're friends, Rachel.

You and Ben, I mean,
you took me in when no one else would.

So now...

...just let me help you.

Okay.

Okay?

I'll tell you everything.

Everything that I know.

There's this place.

It's called The Tower.
