Revolution (2012–2014): Season 2, Episode 5 - One Riot, One Ranger - full transcript

Monroe: I'm guessing Miles
is with your mom.

You're gonna go warn him
and I'm coming with you.

Excuse me?

- Your family could use my help.
- What?

What do they want with my mom?

Rachel, this is Ed Truman,
US government.

They took out half
of Titus's guys.

I'm just glad
we got here when we did.

Rachel: I'm sorry, but you
come out of nowhere,

you call yourself
United States.

I'm curious.



I'm a Patriot, Rachel.

Can't have you strolling around
telling everybody our secrets.

We're working
for the Patriots.

So what now?

Bleed red,
white, and blue

until we climb
to the top

and kill them all
for your mother.

We'll keep you close.

What about my son?

Well, we have a very
special plan for him,

if you don't have
a problem with it.

Whatever it takes.

Rachel: Something's happening
outside the wall.

I'm gonna find out.



- Hold it!
- Don't get cute.

What the hell
is happening to me?

What do we do?

Well, this is an occupation.

Every good occupation
deserves a resistance.

Well...

God bless America.

Hey, where
are you going?

I'm going
to find my mom.

They might
already have her.

Charlie, they
have the town.

We got to be smart,
scope it out first.

Charlie: Who the hell is that?

Man: Our men from the train yard
had that happen to them...

Sir.

What in the holy hell?

No accelerant.

They just lit up
like a match.

Send the bodies to Horn.

So, how well
did we bury Ken?

I scrubbed the blood,
wiped down the scene.

I think I covered it.

What?

You're
a complicated woman.

Yeah.

Aaron: Miles.

Were you at a rail road
or something last night?

Well, it's kind
of a long story.

You might want
to take a seat.

You jumped
a chain-link fence,

and two guys
had guns on you,

and then they
burst into flame.

How do you know that?

Because I saw it.

Saw it?

Aaron, you were
nowhere near it.

I saw it...

and I'm pretty
sure I did it.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Tell him.

You think
it's the nanotech?

What else
could it be?

But it would have to network
images into your head.

It would have
to obey orders.

They're not designed
for anything close to that.

That doesn't change
the fact that it happened.

Hey, everybody...

...can we... dial back
the crazy just a little bit?

Now what?

Who are they?

Those are
the Texas Rangers.

Which one of you
is Truman?

I am.

Director Edward Truman
with the US government.

US government?

Right.

Well,
I'm John Franklin Fry,

Secretary of the Interior
of the great nation of Texas.

And you are an armed force
on our sovereign soil.

You got a reason why I shouldn't
cut you down where you stand?

Got to love Texas.

Put down your weapons!

Last thing
we want is a fight.

I'm the one who wrote
the letter that we were here.

Yeah, we got your letter.

Politeness doesn't
change the facts.

We saved this town
from the Andover clan.

I'm just asking
for a chance to explain.

Rachel: You know
that guy, Miles?

Back when Texas and the Monroe
Republic were squabbling,

I sort of tried
to kill him.

Oh... good.

Hopefully he's over it by now
'cause he's our best shot.

At what?

Starting a war
with the Patriots.

Man: Stand back! Stand back!

I repeat, you can
only board the wagon

if you have
a voucher.

You can only board the wagon
if you have a voucher.

Okay. Okay.

Everybody. Everybody.

This one is full.
This one is full.

Where are they going?

We built a new camp
up in Perrysburg.

Artesian Wells,
closed sewers.

It's the hot
new ticket in town.

Uh-huh.

You sent for me?

I've been
called up to DC,

and my security detail's a bit
undermanned at the moment,

so you're coming with.

I'm... glad to have
your trust.

You don't
have my trust.

You have my orders.

We leave
in an hour.

Yes, ma'am.

Truman: And so if you could
spend a day or two here,

see our intentions
are pure?

No offense, but I'd rather
crawl naked through cut glass.

I'm leaving for Austin
at first light.

But I'll talk
to the General.

That's all
I can promise.

That's all I can ask.

Dick.

While they're here,
open the gates,

stop the patrols.

And whoever got into that
train yard last night,

find them before
they talk to Texas.

You hear me?

Man: Excuse me.

This is from a friend.

Hey, John.

You got
my message?

Miles?

What the hell
are you doing here?

It would help if you
called me Stu Redman.

Bastard.

Redman.

You tried to kill me.

I could have you
executed on the spot.

War is hell.

But you got bigger
problems right now.

We both do.

And you know it.

Let me guess.

They told you they
were staying around

just long enough to mop up
what's left of the Andover clan.

They're just good neighbors...

helping a town
that needs it.

They'll move back north
soon as it's all over.

You know that's complete
and utter crap, right?

Whoever they are, John,
they're not America.

They're dangerous.

Look, I get it.

I don't think you do.

They sicced
the Andovers on us.

They dropped the bombs
on Atlanta and Philly.

They're invading.

They're sure as hell not
gonna stop at your doorstep.

But Texas
is an 800-pound gorilla...

in a stetson.

You can stem
the tide right here.

You just got to tell the general
to send everything he's got.

I need proof
that they're lying,

that they're
as bad as you say.

What proof?

They're already here.

Miles, we got 70 percent
of our troops

already committed
to the Southern border.

You want me
to open a second front

on the say-so
of a known war criminal?

Look, I'm not an idiot.

I know these Patriots
are land-grabbing back east

and in the plains nation,
but the boss wants a treaty,

not a war.

Then he's a moron.

But he's still
my boss,

and I've got my orders.

I can't go to him
without hard proof.

Midnight tonight...

...Lasky's Mill,
up the river.

You meet me there,
you'll have your proof.

And John,
these Patriots?

They got eyes
and ears everywhere.

Got to come alone.

So I should
just trust you?

Yeah, you should.

Miles.

Charlie, hey.

Miles: I'll be damned.

Found it on a bounty
hunter up in the plains.

I don't get it.

If the Patriots
want Rachel,

why haven't they just
come and grabbed her?

You tell me.

Well, you picked a hell
of a time to come back.

Pretty sure we're
in some real trouble.

What? You kidding?

That's why
I came back.

To save your asses.

Okay.)'-

I missed you, kid.

Well, let's go show
this to your mom.

Hold on.

Come with me first.

I want to show
you something.

What? Why?

You've been in town
about a week?

Yes.

And you came in
with Rachel Matheson?

How's she doing?

I don't know yet.

So you want
to be a teacher?

Not really.

But, I mean,
I don't know.

I did it before.

I ran a schoolhouse
in a settlement in Wisconsin.

What are
your qualifications?

Four degrees.

Two doctorates
from MIT.

You are...
insanely qualified.

That's true.

Well, thank you...

for coming in.

The sign said
you need a teacher.

I am a teacher.

Still... no, thank you.

I'm the only applicant.

Can I be honest?

You smell like liquor.

That's a nonstarter.

Okay, yes,
you're right.

I won't drink...

at work.

Just as important...

in the last 20 minutes,
you haven't smiled once.

Frankly, you've
got kind of a sad,

unmarried uncle
thing going on,

and I think
you might scare the kids.

Look,
you don't know me.

I get it.

But I haven't had a lot to
smile about in the last month,

and if I don't
do something...

I'm gonna lose it.

I mean, not in
the front of the kids,

'cause that
would be very...

I'm very professional.

Please.

I need a job.
I need this job.

Do you think you
could learn to smile?

Miles: You know, she really
missed you, Charlie.

Just saying, when
you see her again,

go easy
on her, okay?

Yeah, I'll try
to play nice.

Promise.

Okay, so now you need
to promise me to not,

you know,
explode or go crazy.

Wait, huh?

No.

That's never a good...

Miles.

What did you do to her?

Whoa, whoa, nothing.

I know you,
you son of a bitch.

- What did you do to her?
- I didn't touch her.

Hey, hey, I wouldn't
let him touch me.

I saved her life.

You brought
him here?

Okay.

Charlie, let's go.

Miles...

Now!

Monroe: Hey, I walked halfway
down the map to help you.

Miles: Sorry?

That's right.

With these US guys.

By the looks of it,
you're gonna need it.

Oh. You're here to help me?

I don't want
your help, Bass.

I should kill you.

That's right.

But you're never quite able
to pull the trigger yourself.

Right?

Come on, Miles.

Look at yourself,
you handy-capable schmuck.

You can't do this alone.
You need me.

You want to help me?

Go away.

They nuked
our city, Miles.

They burned it.

They're trying
to pin it on me.

I want payback.

Best way to get it
is you and me...

together.

You know it.

I'm asking...

I'm asking
for a truce.

If they're after my morn,
why don't we just grab her and go?

Where?

Plastic sons of bitches
are everywhere.

This is as good a place
as any to make a stand.

Miles, you're talking
about starting a war.

Damn straight.
That's smart.

We get the Texans
to fight the Patriots for us.

You know, it's kind of like
that thing in Ann Arbor.

What happened
in Ann Arbor?

Drop it.

Okay, sorry.

Miles: John Fry
is leaving first thing.

I'm supposed to have
proof for him by tonight.

Don't worry.
We'll get you some proof.

Rachel.

Hey, Cyn.
Have you seen Miles?

No.
Have you seen Aaron?

He's gone.

Gone?
What do you mean?

I mean he packed
and he left.

God knows where.

Okay, uh, let me
check in with Miles.

- I'll have to find...
- Rachel.

You have
to find him, okay?

Aaron told me about
your insane little machines.

Okay?

Something
is happening to him.

He's seeing things.

He's scared,
and now he's out there.

Okay, okay.

How far could
he have gone?

We'll split up.

I'll meet back at your house
in three hours.

- Okay?
- Okay.

It's gonna be okay.

I got you something.

What? Why?

Just something
to help in class.

I don't get it.

You needed one.

It's a smile,
dumb-ass.

That is the stupidest thing

I have seen in a really,
really long time.

Except you're smiling.

Well, yeah because
you're stupid, though.

Whatever works.

What?

- Carl.
- What's funny?

Aaron,
this is my husband Carl.

- Hey.
- Ah...

- You're the new teacher?
- Yeah.

And you're funny?

So what's the joke?

I like jokes.

It's just...
the teeth.

It's stupid.

And why is that funny?

How's that a joke?

Is it a private joke, Aaron?

No, Carl.

No, of course not.

I'm just messing with you.

See?

Now that's a joke.

Nice meeting you, teach.

Miles: Well, it was filled
with prisoners yesterday.

Oh, you knew they were
gonna scrub the scene.

What'd you expect?

I don't know.

A lead, a thread,
anything but Jack squat.

Buck up, pal.

We'll get Fry his proof.

What is that?

What?

You're practically
skipping.

You having fun?

What?

Do you think I want
to be here with you?

Don't flatter yourself.

Okay.

Let's be clear.

Maybe you are useful,

but this is not Butch
and Sundance.

You're nothing
but a dark pit

that I spent too many years
trying to crawl out of.

Last thing I'm gonna let
you do is pull me back in.

Uh-huh.

Charlie: It's not much, but I found
some wagon treads.

Well, it's better
than nothing.

See where they lead.

That son of a bitch again.

He's like
a bad penny.

Afternoon.

Hi there.

Man: You coming out
of the Savannah camp?

We are.
You en route?

Yes, ma'am.

Secretary Allenford,
Acting Command.

I know.

I was sent
to meet you.

Excuse me?

What are you doing?

How'd you find me?

You told me you come here
sometimes to think.

I did?

Yeah.

This reminds me
of the old days

when I had three
of these stupid things.

Yeah.

Cynthia's worried,
and you need to come home.

Tell her I'm sorry,
but I don't think I'm coming back.

I know you're upset.

Upset?

Upset doesn't touch it.

Rachel, I killed
those guys by thinking it.

You don't know that.

Yeah, I really do.

They were gonna
shoot Miles...

and then I felt
this flash of anger,

and then
they caught fire.

And I can't take
any more of this.

What if someone else
gets hurt?

They won't.

Even if this is possible,
and I'm not...

I'm not saying
that it is,

you saved Miles.

You don't understand.

This isn't the first time
this has happened.

What is it?

Oh, sorry.

Aaron?

What the hell
are you doing?

Huh, teach?

Nothing.
I didn't see anything.

- Were you watching?
- No.

What, are you some
kind of pervert?

No, no, no, please.

Is that how you get your rocks off?
Huh, is that it?

No.

Carl, leave him alone.

You say one word to Cynthia,
and I'll kill you.

You understand?

I understand.

Good.

Aaron: I tried to get them out,

but I couldn't.

Cynthia thinks...

the whole town
thinks...

that the lantern
started that fire.

And I thought
so too until now.

Now I know it was me.

Whatever this is,
clearly I can't control it.

What if I do something
like that to Cynthia?

You won't.

You don't know that.

I know you.

It would be better
for everyone if I left.

No. No, no.

Cynthia needs you.

I need you.

We'll figure this out.

We'll...
I don't know how.

But you...

You have
to come home.

You, you...

Please.

Easy.

I think
we're okay now.

But that bullet's
got to come out.

Wait.

This would be a very
bad time not to trust me.

Blouse too.

So, you're gonna tell me
what that was back there?

I wrote a letter to...
to High Command.

A letter?
Saying what?

Those wagons
back in Savannah,

they were only letting on
the healthy and the young...

and they weren't
going to a new camp.

Then where?

A reprogramming center.

Which, I assume,
is as cheery as it sounds.

You can't imagine
any place worse.

It's behavioral
conditioning.

Steady diets
of LSD, PCP.

And so I protested.

Apparently this
was their answer.

They don't take
criticism well.

Well...

looks like I hitched my star
to the wrong wagon.

Good luck, lady.

What?

You can't
leave me here.

They're trying
to kill you.

I'm looking to be
a Patriot, not a fugitive.

My apologies.

It's your son.

What about him?

They've got him...

at the same
reprogramming center.

Where is it?

I'll take you there
if you get me out of here.

Well, I hate
to break it to you, pal...

but this trail
is going nowhere.

Well, I guess it is
Butch and Sundance.

Shut up.

How many you think?
Seven? Eight?

Yeah.

What do we do?

You remember South Bend?

Yeah, that'll work.

What? You guys are
just saying cities.

You sure you're
up for this?

Just worry
about yourself.

Heads up.

Cover us.

Wait!

- Now.
- What?

Damn it.

Oh!

YOU?

I owe you for this.

Help me get him up.

What are you doing?

He worked for Titus.
Works for the Patriots.

We get him to talk,
he's our proof.

All right.

Guess it all worked out.

Rachel: You know, Cynthia
is gonna kill you for leaving.

I'm aware.

Aaron?

Aaron?

Hey! Hey, Aaron.

Hey, Aaron?

Aaron, can
you hear me?

Aaron?

Aaron.

I saw something.

What did you see?

What?

Well, you got to admit,
back there, that was...

that was
kind of fun.

Right?

What the hell
is going on?

Rachel.

Oh, God.

All right, listen.

Hold on, Rachel.
Hold on. Hold on.

Rachel, hold on!

Get out
of my way, Miles.

We don't have
time for this.

Get out of my way.

Fry is gonna be
here any minute.

I'm supposed
to be alone.

Why are you
protecting him?

Because
he's helping us.

Charlie?

And because
I brought him.

Perfect.

Thank you, Charlie.
That's very helpful.

You brought
him here?

And why would
you do that?

Look.

You can shoot
each other later.

Right now,
just get out of sight.

Bass?

Over there.

You three, upstairs.

I'm begging you.
Just get upstairs, please.

So, Monroe?

That's...
that's quite a twist.

Get upstairs!

I am so happy
to see you.

I mean, in person.

Just... glad you're here.

How you been?

I've been better,
Charlie.

Rachel...

Look,
I understand, okay?

When I first saw him,
I tried to kill him...

But you didn't
because...

he wants to help
'cause he's a saint.

Would you let
me explain?

And you believed him.

Are you really
that stupid?

For coming back here?
Yeah, I think I am.

Both of you.

You found it.

It's... bucolic.

What do you got?

Back here.

Son of a bitch.

Cyanide tooth.

Son of a bitch had
a cyanide tooth.

Who the hell
are these guys?

So this was
your proof?

Well, trust me, John.

If he could talk,
you'd be blown away.

Well, I don't know what
you want me to do, Miles.

Now, I can go
back to Carver

and tell him
I don't like these Patriots,

but he's just gonna go ahead
and sign the treaty anyway.

He's not gonna
start a war.

So unless you can
come up with...

What are
you thinking?

What is wrong with you?
What is that?

All we got to do now
is frame the Patriots for this.

And you'll
have your war.

Texas is gonna go nuts.

That is what you wanted,
isn't it?
