Utopia Falls (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Worst Behaviour - full transcript

No one should be out on patrol.

You're in a restricted area.

Identify yourself.

Bohdi, it's okay.

We're here to help you.

Come on.

Let's go.

Clear out!

What do you mean another city?

It's not just another city.

There's a whole world out there
beyond the Shield.



It's not a wasteland.

I saw a forest,

and the city was huge,

with towering buildings
and giant flying metal things.

Giant flying metal things?

Okay, you officially lost me.

The point is we've been
lied to our whole lives.

So just to be totally clear,

you're saying that I was right?

What?

You got to give me some credit.

Guys, this is serious.

We need to get the word out.

Tell people the truth.



And which truth is that?

That New Babyl's
really a prison.

Look, I want
to do something too,

but we should really
think about this.

If you thought the riots
were bad,

imagine how people
will react to this.

They can handle it.

Because people take
life‐altering news so well.

Our whole lives we thought
the world out there was dead,

and that we were
completely alone.

But that's not the case,
and people need to know that.

Even if it means
putting everyone in danger?

If the Tribunal finds out
we know,

the Authority
will come down hard.

You know that.

And it won't just be on us,

but anyone who helps us.

It could be the end
of everything.

Or an opportunity
for a new beginning.

This is a revolution
we're talking about.

And maybe revolution
is exactly what New Babyl needs.

Attention, citizens.

Nighttime curfew is in effect.

You're going to lay low here
for a while.

Stay alert and don't go outside.

You thirsty?

I know you.

My name's Reia.

You're a member of the Tribunal.

I am.

But I'm also a member
of the Rising.

The Rising?

We're a group committed
to the overthrow

of the current government

and the establishment
of leadership

that will free the people
of New Babyl.

Free us from what?

Give me a second.

Yes, we're at the safe house.

He's fine.

No complications.
No one was hurt.

Those guards will wake up
in a few hours,

sore, maybe, but otherwise fine.

Yes.

Okay.

Who are you talking to?

A mutual friend

whose identity will have
to remain a secret for now.

It's a portable
communication device.

But they're illegal.

Because the people in charge
are afraid

it'll make it easier
for us to plot against them.

The Tribunal.

This goes far beyond
the Tribunal.

Knowledge is power.

So why are you helping me?

Because, Bohdi,
you are one of us.

Even if you didn't know it,

you and every citizen
of New Babyl

yearning for freedom
has always been one of us.

Come on.

Come in.

Surprise.

We're here to bring you
back home.

You guys didn't need to come.

We wanted to.

You made us so proud last night.

Yeah, you weren't even that bad.

Where's Cara?

Boy, go find your sister
and hold on to her when you do.

How are you feeling?

Um...

I'm fine.

Just, um...

I just...

You just wanted to win.

I should have chosen
a different dance.

Maybe done something
a little more traditional.

No, none of that.

Now you can be disappointed
with the results,

but I feel nothing but pride
for how you got there.

You did it your way,

and that's the most
important thing.

To live your life,
and no one else's.

I've been preparing for this
my whole life.

And now it's over.

I failed.

Maybe you did‐‐.

Or maybe your journey
hasn't ended yet.

And that, too, is up to you.

Hm?

In the wise words of Gaia,

no one exists alone.

We all live through
shared experience.

Well, that's a nice change.

Usually it just kind of
strolls around.

CARA: Brooklyn!

Hello there!

There you are.

Don't take off like that.

Cara, Pak,
what are you doing here?

We came to pick up Sage.
She's coming home today.

Cara and Pak
are two of Sage's siblings.

This is Mags and Aliyah.

Hey.

Hi.
Oh, my Gaia, you are so cute.

May we have
everyone's attention, please?

As we prepare for tomorrow's
Exemplar finals,

only three remain
to battle it out:

Aliyah 5, Brooklyn 2

and Magnus 2.

Although the rest of you
came up short,

you should nonetheless
be very proud,

of everything
that you accomplished.

In recognition of those
achievements,

and to ensure
our remaining candidates

continue to thrive
in a supportive atmosphere,

we would like to offer
the option.

You can pack up, head home,

or stay and support
our finalists.

It's your choice.

I guess I'll stick around
for a little longer.

The three are going to need
as much help as you can get.

And I'm sure Sage is going
to want to stay too.

Probably.

I'm going to get these two
something to eat.

I'll see you guys later.

Bye. Bye.

So I've been thinking about it,

and if we're going to do

whatever it is
we're going to do,

we could really use
an extra set of hands.

No. We can't trust him.

He burned down the Archive.

Wait, that was Tempo?

He tried to make it right.

By letting Bohdi take the fall?

Aliyah, he confessed
to Authority Phydra.

When Bohdi took the blame,

Tempo went to Tribunal
headquarters

and he owned up to the fire,

and everything else.

If Tempo admitted it,
why is he still free?

No, he lied about coming clean.

No. No, I know Tempo.

Then why is the Tribunal
protecting him?

It's possible they're not
protecting him.

They're protecting his parents.

Tempo was raised in a crèche.

He never knew his parents,

but always suspected that
they were important officials

in either Progress or Industry.

So they're keeping an eye out
for him,

while Bohdi pays
for what he did.

More like what we did.

Bohdi wasn't arrested for
setting fire to the Archive.

He was arrested
for accessing it,

and we're all guilty of that.

But something we're not
being punished for,

because Bohdi
took the fall for us.

They weren't ready for us.

We surprised them
and took them out.

It was easy. So what?

You want a cookie for that?

Come on, Bohdi, we ain't got
time for hide‐and‐seek.

My boy, my boy.

I like the hair.

I thought they ghosted you.
Yeah, they tried.

Turns out the guards
transporting me

were willing to do
some wheeling and dealing,

and you know
that's my specialty.

Your case, on the other hand,
wasn't so easy.

Had to get a little messy.

Give us a minute.

So, how you been, B?

I hear you were holding out
on me with that Archive.

Look I was just trying
to keep things quiet

and keep myself out of trouble.

You and Mags don't know how
to stay out of trouble.

Hey, look,

last time I saw you...

I treated you wrong.

Oh, you mean
insulting me on a stage

in front of the whole Sector
at my own block party,

is that it?

Yeah. Yeah. You know, I‐‐

I forgot all about that
until you mentioned it.

Look, I shouldn't
have spoke out like that.

Listen to me.

I never want to hear
about you holding back.

You speak out.

That's how you get things done.

Anyway, look, that was
a lifetime ago, all right?

But you lost everything
because of me.

I'm here because of decisions
that I've made, Bohdi.

I got no regrets.

Clear?

Yeah.

We eat some breakfast? Huh?

Yeah. Okay.

Got Miss Lara's roti's.

For real? Yeah, man, hold that.

Come on.

Did you confess to Phydra?

We shouldn't be
talking about this here.

Did you confess? I did.

Why didn't you tell me?

What difference would it make?

I still burned down the Archive,
Bohdi still took the fall,

and you still hate me.

I don't...

I'm angry. I'm hurt.

I mean, you out of all people
know how much

the Archive meant to me.

But I could never hate you.

Not after everything
we've been through together.

I don't know if you'll ever
forgive me,

and I'm not asking you to.

But I promise I'm going to do
whatever it takes

to make things right between us.

So how'd you get Miss Lara's
roti in here?

You act like you don't know
my name.

So where were they taking me?

A work camp, where they bring
everyone they ghost.

The mines?

Further than the mines.

Well, what's further
than the mines?

The other side of the Shield.

But isn't that area radioactive?

The other side of the Shield
is dangerous,

but it's got nothing to do
with the radiation.

The reality is, B,
there's a whole world out there

that we know nothing about.

Other cities. Other people.

So Apollo was right.

I don't know
who this Apollo kid is,

but if he figured it out,
then he's a giant step ahead

of most of New Babyl.

But we went to the edge
of the Shield.

Why am I not surprised?

We saw the wasteland
with our own eyes.

What you saw was an illusion
created by the Shield.

But why?

Why are they lying to us?

Because the truth is New Babyl
isn't a utopia.

It's a prison.

B, tell me what you know
about the histories.

Centuries ago, the world
was filled with cities.

But the people were unhappy.

There was a revolution,

and that's when
the Great Flash happened,

and everything went dark.

Yeah, go on.

It was chaos.
Wars poisoned the Earth.

Survivors went underground where
they lived for hundreds of years

until Gaia led them out
and founded New Babyl, right?

New Babyl and two other cities:

New Carthage and New Lazarus.

But what happened to them?

Nothing.

They're still out there.

What the histories
don't tell you, B,

is that there was another war.

A war between New Carthage
and New Babyl.

A war that New Babyl lost.

As punishment, since then,
we've lived in servitude.

But what does that mean?

It means we pay them.

In the crops we grow,
the minerals we mine,

and in people.

We send them people?

Yeah.

The troublemakers.

People like you and me.

The ones who won't be missed.

It explains why so many of our
children are crèche‐raised.

They use us to advance, Bohdi,

while they keep us ignorant
inside this bubble.

But the thing is, when you keep
something sealed up too long,

the pressure builds...

and things blow up.

So you're helping
Reia and the Rising?

Yeah.

What's the plan?

Look, we risked a lot
to rescue you.

So the plan is for you to sit
tight and let us handle this.

Well, you know that plan's
got to change,

because there is no way
I'm sitting this out.

Young blood.

You know, reading "applause"

is a whole lot different
than hearing it.

I was really hoping

we'd be facing off
in the finals.

I'm kind of sorry
we won't get the chance.

Well, I can't get upset.

Not too long ago I thought that
I was out of the competition

and would never play again.

But I got onto that stage
and I performed.

That's thanks to you.

Sib, that was all you.

But you helped me realize
that there was still hope.

Have you spoke to Aliyah?

You told her I went to Phydra.

I thought she should know.

Did it help?

Things may get better
eventually,

but they'll never be the same.

And I'm just having
a hard time accepting that.

Change is the only constant.

You sticking around?

Yeah.

This is going to be the greatest
final in Exemplar history.

Someone's got to make sure
these guys don't mess it all up.

Lisbeth likes Doran,
but he likes Semira,

but he doesn't know that Semira
doesn't like him back,

because he was mean to Drea.

Whoa, sounds complicated.

It gets worse.

Drea used to like Semira, but...

Sage, we found Brooklyn.

Hello, Brooklyn.

Hello, Grans.

So who wants to show me around?

I will. Wonderful.

Let's let Sage
talk to her friend.

Come. Come on.

So you're leaving today?

That's why my family's here.

Um, my Grans tell me
you visited my home.

I helped your Gran Riel carry
some stuff back from the market.

And we ended up talking.

About me.

Not everything is about you,
Nature girl.

No, we ended up
talking about her.

What?

Your Gran and I
have something in common.

We're both dissonant.

When did you find out?

What does it matter?

Oh, you mean that would explain

why I stood you up that day.

Maybe I was upset
or not thinking straight.

The truth is,
I have no excuse for it.

I was thinking of myself
and no one else.

I don't blame you
for shutting me out.

I've always been selfish,
and I know that now.

But I'm trying to change that.

Starting with the Exemplar. I...

This competition
isn't just about me anymore.

What do you mean?

I'm going to win this
for everyone out there

who second‐guesses themselves

because of how
they've been labeled.

I want them to know
that it's okay to have dreams,

that the future isn't so dark.

It doesn't have to be.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know how.

I was still
figuring it out myself.

Brooks, I am so sorry.

Hey, no. Don't be.

I don't need sympathy.

I'm good now.

Really.

I'm going to get going.

But I hope I get to see you
dance again someday.

Goodbye, sweet Sage.

Mm. Aliyah.

Mentor Chapter,
I want to talk to you

about my mother, Anna 7.

You knew her, didn't you?

Honestly that was a long time‐‐.

Please, I am done
with people lying to me.

All right.

It's about time you knew.

Aliyah, your mother is alive.

And I'm here because of her.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Are you serious?

You just told me
my mother's alive.

That for the past 12 years,
she's had nothing to do with me

by choice.

Look...

I can't speak
to the circumstances

of her leaving New Babyl,

but I know for a fact
she loves you and misses you.

And not a day goes by

that she regrets not having
brought you with her.

But at the time,
she had no way of knowing

what dangers lay
beyond the Shield.

She's been on the other side
all this time?

She wanted to come back for you.

Then why didn't she?

Because your father
is a member of the Tribunal,

and she didn't think she could
convince him to leave.

And, as time wore on,

she was worried she wouldn't
be able to convince you either.

She's been living
in the other city, New Carthage.

How do you know
about New Carthage?

You answer my questions first.

She's not in New Carthage.

She's in New Lazarus.

A free city.

One of the three established
alongside New Babyl.

She sent me here.

Three months ago,
I passed through the Shield

and entered New Babyl.

How?

What is this?

It's a sonic disruptor.

It allows me passage
through the barrier.

Prior to the Exemplar,

I assumed the identity

of a former friend
of your mother's, Chapter 3.

What are you talking about?
You're Chapter.

No.

I'm not.

By means of the advanced
technology

available to us in New Lazarus,

I replaced Chapter
in order to access the Academy

and the Exemplar candidates.

And the real Chapter? Is he...?

Safe, back in New Lazarus.

Following your mother's plan,

I sent you all invitations

on your first night
at the Academy.

The secret invitations.

That was you?

I needed to get you
beyond the city limits.

And, thankfully, you went.

You see, Aliyah...

you were the key to all of this.

Me?

What's so special about...?

The Archive.

You needed my genetic markings
to open it.

I lead you to it
and you opened it,

just as your mother
predicted you would.

After that,
it was simply a matter

of supporting
your free expression,

and the occasional push
to keep you going.

You used us. No.

I directed you to the truth.

What you did
with the information

was ultimately up to you.

Why are you telling me all this?

Because you're ready. For what?

The people of New Babyl
have been living a lie.

They believe they have
their freedom,

but in truth,
they serve New Carthage.

The Exemplar is key
to propagating the lie.

What are you saying?

The Exemplar is the height

of artistic expression
in New Babyl.

Art is supposed to inspire,

to promote change.

But the Tribunal uses it
to celebrate the status quo,

extinguishing any opportunity
for free thought.

The time has come

to wake up the people
and give them their freedom.

This is crazy.

I don't even know who you are.

Why would I lie?

I don't know,
but how do I know can trust you?

Thanks.

Those high kicks are ridiculous.

Thanks. They would have
come in handy during the riots.

I'm...

I'm so sorry I ran away.

I shouldn't have left you.

Please. For the record,
I told you to run away.

Besides, it all worked out.

I mean, being locked up was bad,

but it was definitely
a lot better

than some of Mentor Watts'
rehearsals.

So, uh, you and Brooks
on the outs again?

What?

Brooklyn. You.

Ins or outs?

She's in a different place now.

I was too blind or selfish to
see what she was going through,

and now I think she's moved on.

You're not serious, are you?

Sage, her whole Exemplar
performance last night

was for you.

You know that, right?

She was singing to you.

Look, I know your family
is here to take you home,

but with everything going on,
you should really stick around.

Spend some time
patching up with Brooks.

Help with the revolution.

What?

If we're going to pull this off,

we're going to need
all the help we can get.

Revolution?

Oh.

You don't know, do you?

What? Know what?

You might want
to sit down for this.

What you think?

It's not bad, huh?

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Mentor Chapter?

Hello, Bohdi.

I'm glad you're doing well.

Our mutual friend.

You're the one Reia
was talking to last night.

That's right.

So, what are you doing here?

I brought a friend.

I can't believe you're here.

I'm so happy you're okay.

I thought I'd never
see you again.

No, I'm here. I'm here.

So I heard you made it
to finals.

I'm so sorry.
You should have been there.

Come on, Aliyah.

If it's not me,
there's no one else

I'd rather see win it all.

Except maybe Mags.

I can't believe Chapter's
a part of all of this.

I can't believe
most of what I've found out

over the last two days.

Wait, how much do you know?

What, the lies?
The other cities?

The fact that we're actually
prisoners here in New Babyl?

And while we've been sealed up,

kept ignorant
for hundreds of years,

the rest of the world
continued to grow?

Did I miss anything?

Bohdi, my mother's alive.

Alive? All this time,

I grew up thinking she was dead.

She's actually been living
beyond the Shield.

My father lied to me.

I'm so sorry.

Nothing's going to keep
my mother and me apart.

Not the Authority,

not the Shield, and not my dad.

We're going to find a way
to be together again.

Any word from New Carthage?

Yes. They consider the matter
of the repository closed,

with the understanding that
the area must remain off‐limits

until they have taken steps
to fully secure the bunker.

And by fully secure,
they mean destroying it

to ensure we don't have access.

They don't trust us.
And with good reason.

After all, they can't have
us learning too much.

That would make us dangerous.

We will never
be a threat to them.

If not dangerous,
then certainly inconvenient.

Glad you could make it.

Celebrating your daughter's win,
I presume.

Congratulations.

Thanks, but I haven't
seen Aliyah

since last night's performance.

But since we're on the topic,

why don't we discuss
what happened last night.

Aliyah's act of defiance.

There's nothing to discuss.

She displayed a black scarf,

clearly in support
of the Reform protestors.

A brave if not
somewhat foolish act.

But, in the end,
it doesn't really matter.

It doesn't really matter?

What about the protests?

We've taken steps
to address them,

and they should no longer
be an issue.

What kind of steps?

Hey, Sage.

Ready to go?

Not yet.

I, uh, I think I'm going
to stay and support my friends.

I think that's a fine decision.

Okay, say your goodbyes to Sage.

We'd better be off.

Bye, Sage. ‐.

Bye, Brooklyn.

Bye.

Bye.

Love you. Bye. Bye.

Bye.

I'm really glad you're staying.

Well, you know,
someone's got to stay

and teach this one some steps.

‐
Easy there, Exemplar runner‐up.

We need to talk.

You mean your mother's alive?

Mentor Chapter
isn't Mentor Chapter?

Bohdi and Moore Times,
getting along?

Hm.

So when are we going
to go see them?

We can't go see them.

It's too risky.

We all have a part to play,

and the Exemplar is the key
to everything.

Until then, we have to lay low,

act like everything's normal.

Are you kidding?

We're just supposed to sit here
and do nothing

on the night before
the biggest day of our lives?

I got an idea
for something we can do.

What up, Reform Sector?

All right.
Quiet down, everybody.

Can I have your attention,
please?

Quiet down.

Now, I'm sure you're all aware

that we have some very special
guests in the house tonight.

That's us.

Standing right there,

we have five
Exemplar candidates.

Brooklyn 2...

Sage 5...

Aliyah 5...

Magnus 2,

and Apollo 4,

right here in this club.

Give it up.

Devin,
I've been trying to reach you.

We've been compromised.

They know where
we're holding Bohdi.

You've got to get to him
before they do.

Devin, did you hear me?

Bohdi is in danger.

Devin?

Devin?

Phydra.

What is the meaning of this?

Take her.

Take your hands off me.

I am a member of the Tribunal!

‐

This is an unsanctioned
gathering.

You are all under arrest.

You are all under arrest.

Sage, let's go.

Sage!

Go on. Get out the back door.

Go. Come on.

Hey! Officer!

Stay right there.

Go!

Bohdi?

Bohdi, come on, we got to go.

I know you're in here. Come on.

What are you doing here?

I came to warn you.

The Authority knows you're here,
and they're on their way.

How do you know that? And why
are you risking yourself to save me?

It doesn't matter.
We got to go, come on.

I said, we got to‐‐.

I owed you that.

I did.

Oh!

I owed you that for Aliyah.

Okay.

Cover the right side.

Stop!

What did you find?

It's a communication device.

Get Vedrell to place
a trace and track.

What are you doing here?

The Authority has made
sweeping arrests.

I know, I was in Reform Sector
when they came.

Our operation has been
compromised.

Pack your things.
We leave tonight.

What about Bohdi? And my father?

We can't just leave‐‐
You don't understand.

It's too dangerous to stay.

Now consider this
a strategic retreat.

We can go back to New Lazarus,
regroup,

and come back
when the time is right.

Aliyah, you can finally
be reunited with your mother.

It's me.

If you're still out there and
able to receive this message,

I'm heading to the egress point.

The signal's
coming from over here.

Authority Phydra.
What are you...?

Hey.

What's going on?

Chapter.

Let's go. Move it.
