Revolution (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 20 - The Dark Tower - full transcript
Now inside the tower, Rachel tries to convince her former colleagues Dan and Grace to turn on the power. They adamantly refuse leaving it up to her, Nora, Charlie and Aaron to act on their own. Miles and Monroes also face off in the tower but old friendships seemingly die hard. Outside the tower, Neville has taken command of Monroe's troops and wants to solidify his position by ensuring the power stays off. Aaron, Nora, Rachel and Charlie - now joined by Miles - make it to the 12th floor but one of them will not survive. Aaron believes he can turn the power on but Randall has also made it to the 12th floor and has planned something quite unexpected.
It's all gonna turn off...
...and it will never turn back on.
Stop!
There's this place,
it's called the Tower...
...and if I can get there,
I can turn the power back on for everybody.
Who are they?
We've been here guarding the Tower.
We have to turn the lights on.
If she turns the power on,
maybe she saves the world.
Or maybe she sets it on fire.
Miles!
So you ready to settle this...
...once and for all?
What the hell?
You first, prick.
Miles?
Miles?
So, uh, how, exactly,
could we destroy the human race?
You know what caused the blackout?
A couple hundred quadrillion machines,
sucking up all the electricity.
They're everywhere.
In the air, in our blood.
What if Rachel
gives the wrong command?
- What if they malfunction?
- They're malfunctioning now.
They are replicating out of control.
We need to shut them down.
They could rip our cells apart.
They could ignite the air.
It's too risky.
We still don't know
what went wrong the first time.
Your friends are gone.
What do you mean "gone"?
I mean, they're gone.
They're not in the Tower anymore.
You are our guests, Rachel.
But you try to get to Level 12,
try to get the power on...
...and you're dead.
Sorry to keep you waiting, major.
As you can see, I've been busy.
Tom. You think Monroe's
gonna let you get away with that?
- He doesn't have much say in the matter.
- You're in charge of two things.
Jack and squat.
A hundred men
in the middle of Colorado?
That's nothing.
From an acorn, mighty oaks grow.
I'm gonna let you go, Mark.
- What?
- I'm not the man Monroe is.
I'm neither brutal nor capricious.
Head home to your wife.
Maybe find a nice farm,
someplace quiet.
Get a horse for Major Franklin.
You understand...
...I'm going to have
to keep your sidearm, of course.
The son of a bitch
took a shot at me.
You try to be a nice guy.
Hold your fire!
It's General Monroe.
Miles!
Well, happy birthday, bro.
- You remember your 21 st?
- Spring break.
Fort Lauderdale.
- And, uh, that girl, the stripper with the leg?
- With one leg.
- The one leg. Ha-ha-ha!
- Yeah.
Her name was...
- ...Sierra. Sierra.
- Yes.
- And she could move.
- She could move.
I got one.
- Your ninth birthday.
- My ninth.
Yeah. The infamous dodge ball party.
And I gave Brian Duffy a concussion.
- That was one of your worst cakes ever.
- Coconut is not so bad...
No way.
Um, Grace?
Can I have a word, please?
Uh, okay, so...
...granted I was snooping
on your computers...
...but, uh, I found this code.
And it looks a lot, I mean...
...a lot...
...like code that I wrote at M.l.T.
That's because it is your code.
The University sold it to the D.O.D.
- Did you know about this?
- No.
What are you saying?
I'm saying you wrote the Tower's
operating system.
Why do you think Ben found you
in the first place?
Found me? No. No.
We just stumbled across
each other in the woods.
- If anything, I found him.
- Sure you did.
What's this?
Our little demolition project.
We don't know what's going on down there
but we have to stop Rachel.
That woman can't be allowed
to turn the lights on.
And why is that?
You really think we should hand
that kind of power over to Georgia?
Or the other Republics?
I'm sorry, sir.
It's just my head is spinning...
- ...from how quickly you switch sides.
- Stop.
You need to stop.
I need your help.
It's you and me alone out here.
You're the only one I can trust.
I know what I've done to you.
And I know how much you hate me.
But we gotta put that behind us.
Please.
Can you do that?
Whatever happens in there...
...I want Charlie alive.
Her mother, too.
Sir, I spotted General Monroe,
three clicks out in the woods.
You wanted to see me?
Did I ever tell you
about the day Danny was born?
He was almost three months early.
His lungs weren't formed.
He weighed barely two pounds.
So small he'd fit in your hand.
That must have been awful.
Best day of my life.
I took one look at him...
...I was head over heels.
They kept him in the NICU.
His odds, ah...
...weren't even 50-50.
You should've seen me screaming
at the doctors. They were terrified of me.
I fought so hard for him.
I guess I haven't stopped fighting.
We have to stop the militia.
We have to set things right.
For him. So he doesn't die for nothing.
You weren't the only one
who lost a child.
That's why I am hoping
you will understand.
You flip the switch...
...it goes wrong...
- ...we're all dead.
- The chances...
...are one in a billion.
I have faced worse odds.
Come on. Please.
We are so close.
It's too dangerous.
I'm sorry.
Well, I'm sorry, too.
Shh, shh.
Okay.
Let's go.
Morning, sunshine.
Thought you'd never wake up.
How long you been here?
Where else would I be?
- What happened?
- Rebel bombing.
How you feeling, pal?
What do you mean, rebels?
U.S. rebels.
We found an American flag
on the ungrateful bastard.
They want to bring back the United States,
if you can believe that.
Come here, take a look.
- I got him. All right?
- Oh, yeah.
Who's that?
That is who almost killed you.
What, five guys bombed the restaurant?
No, no, just one.
The others are his wife and kids.
Son of a bitch
wants to mess with my family.
I'm gonna mess with his.
We're gonna make an example
out of him.
Check the stairwells
and we'll meet up at one side.
- Rachel, you gotta see this.
- Not now, Aaron.
I'm searching the Tower's code,
my code.
- Appreciate the theft, by the way.
- Aaron.
When I designed it, I built a back door.
Just for me or so I thought.
But I looked and the back door's open.
What back door?
It's a virtual back door, symbolic.
Never mind.
When the blackout spread worldwide,
I don't think it was an accident.
I think someone did it on purpose.
Hey.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Where's Miles?
- Where are you going?
- Got more important things to do, Bass.
- Rachel and Charlie are in trouble.
- Turn and fight me.
So we can keep kicking
each other's asses, for what?
You got your own problems, pal.
Your own men are shooting at you.
Don't you walk away from me!
You're the one who tried to kill me.
You're the one
who started all of this.
And now you're walking away?
You know, I never saw it coming.
I woke up that night...
...you were just standing there.
I was about to ask if you were okay,
that's funny, right? Heh.
I was worried about you.
And you pulled that gun.
You never gave me an explanation.
- It was a lot of things.
- Like what?
What you did to those rebel kids...
...for one.
I did that for you.
Everything I have ever done
was for you.
You care so much about the Republic.
I don't care.
The only thing I cared about
was watching your back.
That's the only reason
why I followed you into any of this.
And you try to kill me for it.
When did you lose sight of Miles?
The water pushed him through those
pipes and he was just gone.
Do you...?
Do you think that he's alive?
I don't know.
You love him, don't you?
Miles? Of course not.
He's Ben's brother, he's
family, that's all.
I can see it on your face, Rachel.
And he loves you too.
He pretends he doesn't. Saving you
is the only thing on his mind.
There's no question.
He'll choose you every time.
There's the stairwell door down to 12.
Oh. Except for all those
maniacs down there, it seems perfect.
How do we get past them?
I have an idea.
General...
...there's been a change
in management.
This is quite a trick you pulled, Tom.
How'd you get all the way out here?
Funny enough, Miles brought me here.
- Go figure.
- I'm gonna have you killed for this.
- And your wife...
- Sir.
I could never say this
under your employ...
...but you have become foolish
and deranged.
And you have a borderline
erotic fixation on Miles Matheson.
There, I said it. I feel better.
So go on, Tom, shoot me.
Come on.
Can't just shoot people in the face
like you did.
I have to at least have
an appearance of a trial.
That's the difference
between you and me.
You frighten, I inspire.
Well...
It's good to see you alive
and well, kid.
Sir, they blew an opening
under the Tower door.
Let's go in.
Wait.
Nice try, Rachel.
Nora?
You asked me why I tried to kill you.
You're asking
the wrong question, Bass.
Ask me why I couldn't.
We're still brothers.
And as much as I hate that,
let me tell you, I do...
...that's never gonna change.
Run, Bass.
- What?
- Monroe's escaping!
I said run.
Don't I know you?
This isn't working. If we had the
right meds or stitches, maybe...
There is an infirmary
back where Grace was.
- There's militia. A lot of them.
- How did they get down here?
We go to the infirmary,
we might not make it back.
If we don't go,
Nora's gonna bleed out.
They lock those barracks doors,
we need that key card.
I need the key card
to get to the 12th floor.
- Mom...
- The door is right here.
Stay here with Nora. I'll be back...
By the time you go and come back,
Nora's gonna be dead.
This isn't an either-or.
We save Nora,
then we can go turn the lights on.
Your mom's right. We can't risk it. She has
to get down there while she still can.
Give me the key card, Charlie.
- This is the rebels' only chance...
- I said no.
How many more people have to die
for this?
We're doing this for Danny.
Danny's dead, Mom.
It breaks my heart...
...but he's gone,
and he's not coming back.
But I'm here.
Your daughter's standing
right in front of you.
I'm alive,
and I'm asking for your help.
Lock the door.
I'll be back. I promise.
Aaron, you need to come with me.
I don't have Warren's journal.
It's your code. I need you for the
computers. Come with me, please.
Aaron, this is what you came here for.
Now go.
Good bye.
You should've gone down
with your mom.
No. You're much more fun.
- Aah!
- Shh, Shh, Shh.
Charlie!
I'm okay.
Rachel went down to Level 12.
Militia's everywhere.
You gotta go help her.
- We need meds.
- There's an infirmary, but it's locked.
- Then we'll blast it open...
- Listen to me. Go.
Go and get the power on.
- No, I'm not leaving you.
- You have to.
Miles.
Rachel needs you.
Look at me.
I'm not leaving you.
- How much further?
- It's just up ahead.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
No. No.
Please, don't try to run, Ms. Matheson.
I'd hate to have to shoot you.
You see, I promised my boy
I'd keep you alive.
Don't make me a liar.
Yeah, because you're such
an honest person.
Now, you are coming with us.
And you are going to forget
about the power, once and for all.
Go! Go!
Nora?
She's dead.
Get to root access.
Get the command line.
Run the shutdown script.
Get the rest of that C-4
down here. I want this door open.
And then, I want them all dead.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Unless you got a problem with that.
Almost got it.
What if Grace is right?
What if we end the world?
We won't, Aaron. Do it.
Okay.
Let's get our tanks
and choppers running.
- And throw everything we got at Philly.
- Yes, ma'am.
It worked.
I'm sorry about Nora.
Randall?
Thank you so much for doing that.
You know me and computers,
all thumbs.
I thought for sure it'd be you or Grace
to help me cross the finish line.
But your portly friend
came through quite nicely.
What are you talking about?
Why do you think I wanted
to get down to Level 12?
It's what I needed.
And you, you did it.
Randall, you want the power on
for everyone?
No.
Not for everyone.
For this.
No. Randall? Just stop! Talk about this.
Randall!
When you burn down the old,
new things grow.
Get back.
No!
Randall, what are you doing?
Launching ICBM's
at Atlanta and Philadelphia.
There. Now there's no turning back.
You think I gave two craps
about Monroe?
I just wanted Monroe to wipe out Georgia,
then I'd wipe out Monroe.
And after that,
the East Coast is wide open.
After all, our great nation must be united.
A house divided against itself
cannot stand.
Randall, what are you saying?
I'm a patriot, Rachel.
No!
There's gotta be a way to get in there.
Rachel, how do we get in?
Sir. Randall Flynn did it.
It's time to go home, Mr. President.

- You're in charge of two things.
Jack and squat.
A hundred men
in the middle of Colorado?
That's nothing.
From an acorn, mighty oaks grow.
I'm gonna let you go, Mark.
- What?
- I'm not the man Monroe is.
I'm neither brutal nor capricious.
Head home to your wife.

Let's get our tanks
and choppers running.
- And throw everything we got at Philly.
- Yes, ma'am.
It worked.
I'm sorry about Nora.
Randall?
Thank you so much for doing that.
You know me and computers,
all thumbs.
I thought for sure it'd be you or Grace
to help me cross the finish line.
But your portly friend
came through quite nicely.
What are you talking about?
Why do you think I wanted
to get down to Level 12?
It's what I needed.
And you, you did it.
Randall, you want the power on
for everyone?
No.
Not for everyone.
For this.
No. Randall? Just stop! Talk about this.
Randall!
When you burn down the old,
new things grow.
Get back.
No!
Randall, what are you doing?
Launching ICBM's
at Atlanta and Philadelphia.
There. Now there's no turning back.
You think I gave two craps
about Monroe?
I just wanted Monroe to wipe out Georgia,
then I'd wipe out Monroe.
And after that,
the East Coast is wide open.
After all, our great nation must be united.
A house divided against itself
cannot stand.
Randall, what are you saying?
I'm a patriot, Rachel.
No!
There's gotta be a way to get in there.
Rachel, how do we get in?
Sir. Randall Flynn did it.
It's time to go home, Mr. President.
