Revolution (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 13 - The Song Remains the Same - full transcript
Monroe has lost faith in Tom Neville but gives him one more chance to redeem himself. He's sent on a mission but the rebels intercept him and he is soon their prisoner. Miles and the other rebel leaders want to question him but Rachel wants only one thing: to kill him. Charlie intervenes and keeps her away from him. When Jason Neville and other rebels soon arrive and he too wants to speak to his father but Miles thinks it's too much of a security risk. They do learn that Neville was headed to a nearby one-time cement factory but when they get there, they are not pleased with what they find. Meanwhile, Rachel explains to Aaron exactly what caused the lights to go out 15 years ago. After the find at the cement, she decides there is something the two of them can do.
Previously on Revolution:
In here!
- They didn't find any remains.
- Miles...
...who you let slip past you
back at the prison.
He took advantage of you, Tom.
That is a troubling weakness.
- I didn't sign on for this.
- You follow orders.
Dad? Unh.
Don't ever come home again.
I would never, ever have left
if I thought you were alive.
Step back.
- Danny?
- We're going after Monroe.
We're gonna help the rebels.
You and me, for Danny.
- You can track them?
- When the pendants are turned on.
I'll bring you more pendants. Scientists,
they'll build you more amplifiers.
- I deserve to know what's going on.
- I'll tell you.
There's this place, it's called the Tower.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Tom.
It was, uh, only an hour.
Mr. Flynn and I were just discussing
some important business.
- Anything I can help you with?
- The general thinks so.
I'm sending you on a little trip, Tom.
To pick something up.
It's high priority. Top-secret.
Though, Torn, if it's too much
to handle, just tell us.
Mr. Flynn, all due respect...
...the hell is that supposed to mean?
See, Tom,
what I am most of all is a manager.
I assess employees' strengths
and weaknesses.
Analyze their records. And your record...
...demonstrates a staggering level
of incompetence.
You got Ben Matheson killed.
Let Miles Matheson
slip through your fingers.
If you worked for me, I'd fire you.
But I don't work for you.
You're just a civilian with a smug smile
and a cheap suit.
- This is vintage Zegna.
- That's enough.
Mr. Flynn here is important
to the republic.
He deserves a little respect, Tom.
Yes, sir.
But, Tom, you're still a trusted officer...
...and an old friend.
That's why I'm sending you
on this mission.
Do not make me regret it.
Are we absolutely clear?
- When will you be back?
- Julia, stop.
I mean, is this about
the rebels or Georgia?
- Are you in danger?
- You know I can't say.
There have been a lot of secrets
here lately.
Look, we have been over this.
Jason is not dead.
My son is not dead,
and I have to pretend like he is.
And I was his CO and he attacked me.
I have sacrificed a lot for you...
...and for this job of yours, but this...
...this is too much.
Tom, I catch myself searching faces...
...hoping that...
Hoping that one might be him.
Tsk.
If General Monroe finds out
that Jason went AWOL...
...what would happen?
He'd question our loyalty too.
And once he did that...
...how long do you think
we'd keep breathing?
Please. I'm doing this for you.
You need to forget about Jason.
You understand?
What the hell was that?
Watch your stance.
You left yourself wide open. Again.
Can we give it a rest, Aaron?
Rachel, I have been resting for 15 years.
I mean, this is what caused the blackout?
So how many of these things
do you think are out there?
A couple hundred quadrillion.
This is unbelievable.
I mean, this whole time, I just...
I thought computers were gone.
And it turns out they're everywhere.
Each one is the size of a virus.
They're everywhere.
They're in the air, on
buildings, they're...
We're breathing them in right now.
And they're programmable?
Two commands.
Absorb electricity and replicate.
This is...
This is so far beyond anything
I could have ever imagined was possible.
We ended the world, Aaron.
So they just, uh...?
They just started reproducing
out of control?
Something went wrong at the Tower.
I never did find out what.
So we have to go there, right?
This Tower?
No. I'm not going anywhere.
What do you mean?
I mean, we can reprogram these things.
We can disable them.
We could turn the lights back on.
It won't work,
and we'll just get ourselves killed.
Charlie...
...is all that I have left...
...and I'm not gonna leave her again.
I can't.
Miles!
Militia convoy on I-95.
They'll be passing by here
in about a half hour.
Looks like your little scout network
is paying off.
That's because I'm a genius.
So, what do you wanna do?
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
- All night long
- All night
- All night
- All night
- All night long
- All night
- All night long
- All night
- All night
- All night
All night long
You like music?
- It's okay.
- Heh.
Okay?
It's Lionel Richie. Better than okay.
Son, we're gonna have to teach you...
All night
All night long
You.
- What happened?
- Here.
We found that on the truck.
There's an amplifier too,
but it got smashed up.
So who's the prisoner?
- Okay, look, don't get upset...
- Who is it?
It's Tom Neville.
And what are you gonna do with him?
You mean, when are we gonna kill him?
- We're not.
- Why not?
The amount of intel he's got? You could
question him for a year. Maybe more.
He killed Ben.
He is the one who took Danny
in the first place and...
...we're not gonna do anything?
Make yourself comfortable.
I'll do that.
So I overheard.
You're the one...
...they were calling Padre.
Are you a priest?
That's right.
You administer the sacraments?
Hear confessions?
Oh, you'll confess, Tom.
Believe me.
You're gonna be begging to talk.
Miles.
You think I'm gonna look
at all those big scary tools...
...and just spill my guts?
I don't know.
You folded before.
When I had my blade
to your wife's throat.
Remember?
So where were you going?
In that Humvee you were carrying...
...about 30 pounds of loose diamonds.
You were gonna trade for something?
Buy something?
What do you need that Monroe can't get?
This is the first and last time
that I'm gonna ask you nicely.
All right.
I'll tell you.
If you tell me something first.
How'd it feel burying Danny?
Where were you going
with the diamonds, Tom?
Danny was a good kid.
Smart.
I liked him.
Really.
It must have been hard for you, Miles.
After all you went through to save him.
Just answer the question, Tom.
Walking a thousand miles...
...going face-to-face with Monroe?
And the boy just dies?
Temper, temper, Miles.
What'd you think was gonna happen?
You'd rescue the kid...
...and that would make up
for all the hundreds you murdered?
That doing this one thing
would wipe your conscience clean?
It's a little naive, don't you think?
Keep going.
I can't talk if I'm dead.
Oh, you're not gonna die.
We're just gonna beat you until you talk.
Then we'll wait for you to heal up...
...and then we'll bring you in here
and we'll start all over again.
And again. So buckle up, Tom.
Rachel.
You Okay?
Well, well, well.
Look what the cat dragged in, huh?
Bite me, Padre.
Heh. Come on. This way.
- Jason?
- Hey, Charlie.
Why are you here?
- I'm with the unit in Allentown.
- You're with the rebels?
Last I saw you, you told me to go,
so I went.
Wait.
- You can't go in there.
- Why not?
- It's just that...
- My dad's inside.
Why do you think I'm here?
I gotta talk to him, Charlie.
Well, that is so not gonna happen.
Hey, Miles.
- Hey!
- That's for what you did to my mom.
We got a problem here, Jason?
No, ma'am.
Besides, we're all
on the same team now, right?
Oh, I'm supposed to trust you now?
After all the times
you've screwed us over?
Turn your ass around,
walk out of this camp right now.
Not until I see him.
If you go anywhere near him,
I will bash your little boy-band face in.
What's a boy band?
Hey.
Food for the prisoner.
I gotta take it in.
- Well, Miles asked me to give it to him.
- Yeah, I'm sorry, I got orders.
It's okay, heh.
Oh. Unh.
Morn?
What are you doing?
Charlie.
I'm going to kill Neville.
Okay.
Just wait.
You can't kill Neville. We need him alive.
Just... Just back up, Mom.
Back up.
A guy like that?
It's only a matter of time
before he escapes.
You don't have to do anything.
Just step out of the way.
- No.
- Step out of the way, Charlie.
- I said, no.
- He ruined our lives.
- Step out of the way.
- When Miles is done with him...
...I'll kill him myself, but not now!
Now is the only chance we'll get,
I promise you.
This... This is for Danny.
You let me do this.
I get it.
All right? I'm mad too.
And I miss Danny.
But we're at war.
Danny died fighting this war.
We can't get emotional.
You sound like Miles.
Maybe that's not such a bad thing
right now.
Rachel?
You... You okay?
In what world does it turn out
that you're better for Charlie than I am?
What do you mea...? Hey.
What...? What happened?
Hey. Hey, hey, hey-
Jason.
What are you doing here?
You're with these people?
What?
I'm even more of a disappointment
to you now?
They're terrorists.
Murderers.
And what are you?
What do you want with me?
You came here to gloat?
Stick it to your old man?
I need to ask you something.
Go ahead.
What'd I do wrong?
I did everything you asked me to.
I hurt people...
...killed people...
...for you.
And you just looked right through me.
What more did you want from me?
You wanna know the truth?
It's a hard world.
If you're weak, you're dead.
I didn't want you to be like that.
I didn't want you to be like me.
So...
...I was hard on you.
Maybe too hard.
But, Jason...
...I was always proud of you.
I swear to God.
That's crap.
You just want me to cut you loose.
I know you too well.
You don't care about me?
Fine.
But what about your mother?
This was my last chance with Monroe.
If I don't come back,
he'll kill her just for being my wife.
You know he will.
You love her, Jason.
We have her in common, at least.
So let me finish this job.
Let me get back home to her.
Thank you, son.
Thank you.
Where we going?
We?
I know the area.
If Mom's life really is in danger,
you need help.
Where are we going?
This old cement factory in Finley.
Why there?
I can't say any more than that.
That's okay.
You said enough.
No.
No. Now, you...
Your mother's gonna die for this.
You have her blood on your hands.
Remember that.
You wanted to see me, sir?
There's still no word from Neville.
Whatever happened, he's failed.
I'll make the pickup. Personally.
It gives me no pleasure to be right
about Major Neville.
It's just so hard to find good people
these days.
And that's what you are, Mr. Flynn?
A good person?
I'm just here to serve.
Finley's a small
town about 25 miles away...
...with one cement factory up here.
So we have no idea
what we're walking into.
Well, at least that's typical for us.
I gotta hand it to you, Jason.
I had my doubts, but you came through.
What if my dad's right?
What if my mom's in danger?
She'll be okay.
We'll send somebody to get her out.
Really?
How you gonna do that?
I'll hold down the fort.
Just try not to get yourself shot.
We'll do our best.
So look, um...
...I'm going with them.
I figured you might.
You gonna be okay? You're not gonna...?
Kill anyone?
No, heh.
I will try to control myself.
Okay.
I'll be back soon. I promise.
You know, word's everywhere
about your brother.
How he shot down that chopper.
- Really?
- Yeah.
A lot of guys joined the rebels
because of him.
So did I.
You wanted to see me?
Father...
...I think I'd like to make
that confession now.
- I don't have time for your jokes, man.
- I'm not joking.
Look...
...I have no illusions about who I am,
what I've done...
...but you gotta admit...
...my fate is a little uncertain
at the moment.
I'd like to go to my Lord...
...with a clear conscience.
Do you really think you can?
I'd like to try.
Father...
...keep my hands cuffed.
But...
...could I kneel at least?
Please, Father?
You must think I'm an idiot.
You don't want to know
what I think of you.
Father, forgive me.
Damn it.
- That's Flynn.
- Who?
Randall Flynn,
the guy my mom was telling you about.
- Who's the other guy?
- I've never seen him before.
Well, they're not getting in that car.
We gotta take him.
I got it.
Over there! Get them into the vehicle!
Awesome. Fan out.
All right, get them out of here!
Go, go, go!
- Hey. You see anything in there?
- You might say that.
You should see this.
What is all this?
This is not good.
Oh, and, Julia,
I'm just so sorry about Jason's passing.
He died a loyal hero of the republic.
I take comfort in that.
Julia.
Tom.
Ladies, get out of my house.
But if you just go to Monroe
and if you explain to him what happened...
Explain what?
How I've been talking to the rebels?
Maybe I should tell him
our son's a rebel too.
What are we gonna do?
Hide in the woods? Sleep in the dirt?
- Our lives are here.
- Not anymore.
You said Monroe is unstable.
And you were right.
Tom.
They're gonna come for us, Julia.
They could be coming right now.
You're all I have left.
Please?
We have to go.
Okay. All right.
So this briefcase that Randall
was carrying, how big was it?
Some scrawny dude was carrying it.
It's what I think it is, isn't it?
Best guess,
the man was selling Randall a bomb.
Like nuclear?
This is insane.
We've got sticks and stones,
these guys have nukes.
How are we supposed to fight that?
There's one thing we can do.
We should have killed Neville
when we had the chance.
What's wrong?
Charlie, I have to leave.
Maybe I'm making the same mistake
all over again, but I have to.
Why?
- Forget it, you're not going.
- It's not up to you.
Say you make it across the Plains Nation
to this Tower...
...and you flip the lights back on,
all big ifs.
- Why would you want to?
- Miles.
Give power to everyone?
To Georgia, California, Texas.
Oh, God, Texas? What do you think
they're gonna do with it?
The bad guys have it.
The good guys need it too.
No one's a good guy.
Listen...
- ...I need you to look out for Charlie.
- Don't.
Just stop talking
like you're dead already.
Promise me that you'll take care of her.
That's supposed to be your job.
Rachel.
Look at me.
I'm not letting you do this.
You can't be who you were.
You need to take better care of her...
...than you ever took of me.
If we stay on the highways...
You and Rachel, you are gonna get
yourselves killed. You know that?
Just find Monroe's nuke, okay?
Because I'll sleep better.
- I should come with you. I'm serious.
- Charlie.
Mom, you could use me.
I told you, I'm not coming back.
I'm fine with that.
I'm not.
I love you, Charlie.
Wait.
Isn't there at least
maybe a little chance...
...that I'll see you again?
You're not a kid anymore, Charlie.
I won't lie to you.
In here!
- They didn't find any remains.
- Miles...
...who you let slip past you
back at the prison.
He took advantage of you, Tom.
That is a troubling weakness.
- I didn't sign on for this.
- You follow orders.
Dad? Unh.
Don't ever come home again.
I would never, ever have left
if I thought you were alive.
Step back.
- Danny?
- We're going after Monroe.
We're gonna help the rebels.
You and me, for Danny.
- You can track them?
- When the pendants are turned on.
I'll bring you more pendants. Scientists,
they'll build you more amplifiers.
- I deserve to know what's going on.

I swear to God.
That's crap.
You just want me to cut you loose.
I know you too well.
You don't care about me?
Fine.
But what about your mother?
This was my last chance with Monroe.
If I don't come back,
he'll kill her just for being my wife.
You know he will.
You love her, Jason.
We have her in common, at least.
So let me finish this job.
Let me get back home to her.
Thank you, son.
Thank you.
Where we going?
We?
I know the area.
If Mom's life really is in danger,
you need help.
Where are we going?
This old cement factory in Finley.
Why there?
I can't say any more than that.
That's okay.
You said enough.
No.
No. Now, you...
Your mother's gonna die for this.
You have her blood on your hands.
Remember that.
You wanted to see me, sir?
There's still no word from Neville.
Whatever happened, he's failed.
I'll make the pickup. Personally.
It gives me no pleasure to be right
about Major Neville.
It's just so hard to find good people
these days.
And that's what you are, Mr. Flynn?
A good person?
I'm just here to serve.
Finley's a small
town about 25 miles away...
...with one cement factory up here.
So we have no idea
what we're walking into.
Well, at least that's typical for us.
I gotta hand it to you, Jason.
I had my doubts, but you came through.
What if my dad's right?
What if my mom's in danger?
She'll be okay.
We'll send somebody to get her out.
Really?
How you gonna do that?
I'll hold down the fort.
Just try not to get yourself shot.
We'll do our best.
So look, um...
...I'm going with them.
I figured you might.
You gonna be okay? You're not gonna...?
Kill anyone?
No, heh.
I will try to control myself.
Okay.
I'll be back soon. I promise.
You know, word's everywhere
about your brother.
How he shot down that chopper.
- Really?
- Yeah.
A lot of guys joined the rebels
because of him.
So did I.
You wanted to see me?
Father...
...I think I'd like to make
that confession now.
- I don't have time for your jokes, man.
- I'm not joking.
Look...
...I have no illusions about who I am,
what I've done...
...but you gotta admit...
...my fate is a little uncertain
at the moment.
I'd like to go to my Lord...
...with a clear conscience.
Do you really think you can?
I'd like to try.
Father...
...keep my hands cuffed.
But...
...could I kneel at least?
Please, Father?
You must think I'm an idiot.
You don't want to know
what I think of you.
Father, forgive me.
Damn it.
- That's Flynn.
- Who?
Randall Flynn,
the guy my mom was telling you about.
- Who's the other guy?
- I've never seen him before.
Well, they're not getting in that car.
We gotta take him.
I got it.
Over there! Get them into the vehicle!
Awesome. Fan out.
All right, get them out of here!
Go, go, go!
- Hey. You see anything in there?
- You might say that.
You should see this.
What is all this?
This is not good.
Oh, and, Julia,
I'm just so sorry about Jason's passing.
He died a loyal hero of the republic.
I take comfort in that.
Julia.
Tom.
Ladies, get out of my house.
But if you just go to Monroe
and if you explain to him what happened...
Explain what?
How I've been talking to the rebels?
Maybe I should tell him
our son's a rebel too.
What are we gonna do?
Hide in the woods? Sleep in the dirt?
- Our lives are here.
- Not anymore.
You said Monroe is unstable.
And you were right.
Tom.
They're gonna come for us, Julia.
They could be coming right now.
You're all I have left.
Please?
We have to go.
Okay. All right.
So this briefcase that Randall
was carrying, how big was it?
Some scrawny dude was carrying it.
It's what I think it is, isn't it?
Best guess,
the man was selling Randall a bomb.
Like nuclear?
This is insane.
We've got sticks and stones,
these guys have nukes.
How are we supposed to fight that?
There's one thing we can do.
We should have killed Neville
when we had the chance.
What's wrong?
Charlie, I have to leave.
Maybe I'm making the same mistake
all over again, but I have to.
Why?
- Forget it, you're not going.
- It's not up to you.
Say you make it across the Plains Nation
to this Tower...
...and you flip the lights back on,
all big ifs.
- Why would you want to?
- Miles.
Give power to everyone?
To Georgia, California, Texas.
Oh, God, Texas? What do you think
they're gonna do with it?
The bad guys have it.
The good guys need it too.
No one's a good guy.
Listen...
- ...I need you to look out for Charlie.
- Don't.
Just stop talking
like you're dead already.
Promise me that you'll take care of her.
That's supposed to be your job.
Rachel.
Look at me.
I'm not letting you do this.
You can't be who you were.
You need to take better care of her...
...than you ever took of me.
If we stay on the highways...
You and Rachel, you are gonna get
yourselves killed. You know that?
Just find Monroe's nuke, okay?
Because I'll sleep better.
- I should come with you. I'm serious.
- Charlie.
Mom, you could use me.
I told you, I'm not coming back.
I'm fine with that.
I'm not.
I love you, Charlie.
Wait.
Isn't there at least
maybe a little chance...
...that I'll see you again?
You're not a kid anymore, Charlie.
I won't lie to you.
