Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 6 - Choices - full transcript
Ethan learns more about the eerie town's history and the people who live there.
Previously on "Wayward Pines"...
Where's Dad?
This school...
it isn't like your other school.
Welcome to Orientation.
Well, you must be Theresa,
my new number two.
Your first client.
Okay, so you want me
to sell him a house?
No. I want you to give him a house.
- What is this?
- He's an insurgent.
- He defaced public property with...
- _
...subversive graffiti.
Hello.
Sheriff Burke...
you must call a reckoning
for Peter McCall tomorrow.
We refer to them as Abbies.
Looks like us.
That's because it once was.
There were more of these chambers
and they were all filled...
- Filled with what?
- With people.
A great scientist foresaw
the coming of the Aberrations.
So he created an ark.
Who is he, this... scientist?
I should introduce myself...
David Pilcher.
This is not the year 2014.
This is the year 4028.
All that is left of civilization,
all that remains is...
Wayward Pines.
Wait!
Wait for them!
Wait up!
- Run!
- Okay.
1x06 - Choices
You didn't think Wayward Pines
ran itself, did you?
All our building materials, clothing,
archives, historical documentation,
are securely all stored here.
Everything except food, which
is stored in a separate facility.
I bet you've already seen that,
haven't you, Mr. Burke?
Of course eventually Wayward Pines
will be entirely self-sufficient.
We're all focused on making
that transition as smooth as possible.
This way.
Ready?
Take 'em out.
This way.
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
If your wife's not returning your calls,
there's not much I can...
Of course, I'll give her the message.
- Hey...
- Yes, sir I will...
...who are all of these people?
Volunteers.
Over 200 of them.
They've devoted
their lives to the cause.
Where do they live?
They live, work, eat, sleep here,
in the complex.
They left their families
and their lives to help me realize
all of this, none of it
would be possible without them.
You are the
beating heart of Wayward Pines.
I'm sorry to interrupt, Dr. Pilcher,
they need you down in the CRU.
Thank you, Christina.
This shouldn't take too long.
I'll go take a look at his arm.
This way, Mr. Burke.
Ben...
what's going on?
Nothing.
Something's wrong.
Is it about that girl?
I was just...
Do you remember that poster that I
used to have in my room, above my desk?
Yes, the... the one of the Earth?
Thinking about how there's...
there's like
billions of people on the Earth.
And there's more and more every day.
I don't know... I...
That always just made me feel...
small.
And that's normal. Well, you know,
I think we all feel like that sometimes.
But then today I was thinking,
"What if it does matter?"
What we do, actually,
means something.
That's a lot scarier.
And what made you start
thinking about all this?
The science class, I guess.
Everything's gonna be all right.
Fine.
You just need to eat something.
Hello, Ted.
Kate.
Have some goodies for ya.
Excellent.
All right.
You mentioned the other day there
was a package you needed picked up?
I think it was in the back.
yes.
Thank you, I-I totally forgot.
D-d-do you mind?
- No. No.
- All right, this way.
Harold, Ted just came by
to pick up that package.
I think it's right back here.
What the hell are you doing?
We can't meet here.
- I thought that this room was clean.
- It is.
I don't care.
You-You coming back here with me,
- how do you think that looks?
- Looks like I'm picking up a package.
- Or it looks like we're meeting.
- Which... we need to.
- I can't find it.
- Can't find what?
McCall's package.
- Then what the hell is this?
- Doorknobs.
Without it, we can't finish
what we started.
- Did you check his house?
- Yeah.
- Basement?
- Yeah.
- Crawlspace?
- Kate...
it's not there.
What about his office?
Why would it be in his office?
Because it's not in his house.
Just... check it.
I can't.
Bill's always around.
Plus t-t-t-the place is crawling
with cameras and bugs.
And they... they got that new girl working
there, the... the cute brunette one.
- What's her name?
- Theresa.
Yeah, right.
Theresa.
I thought it over, Bill, and I quit.
No, come on now, you can't quit.
I've spent 8 years in here,
8 damn years dealing with your crap.
And the minute
an agent spot opens up
you just pass me over
for a shiny new model.
You know, the only surprising thing is...
I didn't see it coming.
- No... Maybe I should...
- W-Where are you gonna go, Henrietta?
Wait. D-Do you know about some
job openings out of state?
- Here, let me help.
- No, I got it, sweetheart.
Henrietta...
listen, I didn't ask for this job.
Okay? I even told Bill
- that you should have it.
- You must have been very persuasive.
I-I don't want the job.
I had no choice.
Like everybody else,
you must know how this town works. Really.
Listen, the truth is I'm trying
to get back home to Seattle and...
there was a new client earlier
who said that he saw things.
- Okay. Listen, Tracey.
- Theresa.
Theresa...
I get you. Okay?
Hell, I should. I used to be you.
But whatever you think you're doing,
I promise you, it's going nowhere good.
Look what they did to Peter.
They killed him and not just
'cause of some graffiti.
I don't believe that
horse manure for a second.
Because he was looking
where he wasn't supposed to.
Peter McCall thought
Plot 33 was a way out.
What do you mean by that?
What is Plot 33?
You want to end up dead, too, hon?
Don't be stupid.
I can understand
if you're angry with me.
I'm quite sure everything has been...
confusing.
But I assure you...
there is a purpose to everything
you find so strange.
I guess it's all been
one big misunderstanding?
I suppose that's...
hard for you to accept, but yes.
I'm glad we got that cleared up.
Ever since you came here...
you've been trying to...
save yourself...
save your wife...
save your beautiful son...
and that's quite commendable.
Wayward Pines is bigger than you.
It's bigger than them.
It's bigger than anyone of us.
David needs you now.
He needs you to take responsibility
for all of Wayward Pines.
Pamela Pilcher to the CRU.
Pamela Pilcher... to the CRU.
Duty calls.
Pamela Pilcher?
- Are you his wife?
- Oh, no.
His sister.
He got mother's good looks.
I got her courage.
David will be back
with you in a moment.
Who knows,
perhaps by the end of the day
you'll see things in a whole new light.
I don't think he likes you.
It's okay.
- Stand down. Thank you.
- Sir.
Who are they?
Distant cousins.
How distant?
In the late 1990s, we humans
began to understand
the dire impact we were having
on our environment.
At the same time, one division of my
company made a surprise discovery.
A small, but significant mutation...
in our own DNA.
We were changing the world.
And as a result...
we ourselves were
beginning to change.
Adapt.
I tried to warn the global community,
I thought they would listen.
I was wrong.
David, let's get going.
It's almost 9 o'clock.
What are you doing?
Come on, let's go.
Did you see the look on their faces?
I'll be their punchline on Monday.
I don't see why you care
what those people are thinking.
You know what you are doing.
We got plenty of time.
- What?
- We got all the time in the world.
You see, that's the real danger.
The concept of time.
Always more time.
The problem isn't real
unless it affects us directly.
Prioritize the present,
what's in front of us.
Otherwise, just delay,
delay, delay...
Well, you just have to keep on working.
You'll know when the answers show up.
No...
I can't do it anymore.
Even if we have the support of the
whole world to reverse these changes...
it'll probably be too late.
On my own.
You know better than that.
You're not alone, David.
You're right.
My sister.
The recovering drug addict.
Together, we're gonna save mankind.
And who knows...
some day we might.
Meantime, let's get some supper,
I'm starving.
My sister was right.
It would take time.
I couldn't protect the entire world.
But I could protect a select few.
I wrote a book.
I redirected profits
from my companies into
research and development of cryonics.
If this was to be our future,
then I-I had to find some way to avoid it.
I had to save some of us.
What you lookin' at, babe?
Just a surveyor map.
I-I thought I told you to look
at properties for that big-shot lawyer.
He's still in ICU, so I have the time.
Well, that ain't
what I asked you to do.
Just one s...
How about right now?
Do you know anything about this Plot 33?
It's a big empty lot.
And as far as I can tell,
nobody has developed on it,
which is strange because...
Look, it's right here.
It's on Boxwood and Third Street.
Which is...
It seems to me prime residential area.
Undeveloped?
I'll be damned.
That is very interesting, Theresa.
See, here is the thing, though.
When I want you to look at surveyor maps,
then I would say,
Theresa, hon, will you
look at some surveyor maps for me?
Until then...
only forget about
all this Plot 33 nonsense.
Okay.
Thank you, hon.
Hi, Bill.
Yeah.
Theresa...
I was...
Can... can we talk?
Testing cryonic suspension
was both dangerous and illegal.
I couldn't have made it public,
even if I wanted to.
How did you hide the funding?
Dummy corporations?
Along with various
trusts and charities.
You have enough money,
you can get away with anything.
Well...
we took notice...
- Kate, Evans.
- Others, too, eventually,
but... it wasn't
'cause of the money.
- It was the disappearances.
- Dr. Pilcher, she's stable now.
Got it.
Just here.
Blood pressure 110/80.
Who is she?
Sara.
Sara Barlow from Missouri.
She's a teacher.
How many more are there?
Harold and I,
we've been thinking for a while about
getting a new house and...
What do you want, Kate?
It's a small town.
We can't spend the rest of our lives
hiding from each other.
I don't intend on
spending the rest of my life here.
We don't always get what we want.
No, we don't.
- Hey, girls.
- Hi.
I didn't realize
you two were friends.
Yeah. We've...
actually, known each other for a while.
We're...
old friends.
Totally, makes sense.
I mean...
Kate, I've seen you talking to Ethan, so...
What can I get you?
Hey there, Bill.
Got a delivery here
for your new co-worker.
Do you want me to go
put it by your desk?
I ain't coming to get it.
So...
Teddy boy...
what's going on
with you and Harold's girl?
I see you two talking all the time.
It's just... just deliveries.
Well, you let me know
if she needs another delivery boy.
'Cause I'll be ready and willing.
You know, this package, I just realized.
It's actually for Theresa Cook.
Not Theresa Burke.
So why the hell are you
still standing there?
Sorry. Long day, man.
You let me know about Kate.
Waiting for a package?
No, no. I...
I was just thinking.
So you and Harold want a house?
No. No. I-I... I don't want a house.
That's not why I came to you.
I came to you because...
because I want to change things.
Hey there, Harold.
Got a delivery for ya.
It's taken me a long time,
but I realized I'm...
here, in this moment, in this town
because of choices that've been made.
Some of those
were made by others
but a lot of those choices,
they were my own.
And looking back, there are so many
better choices I could've made.
But then I realized
that I'm here, now...
and all I can do now,
is make new choices.
So I've decided I don't wanna keep
pretending that everything is okay.
I wanna make things better.
That's why I'm here, talking to you...
I just...
I hope I'm not too late.
Because now... now, more than ever...
we all need to be friends.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, sir.
They're all asleep.
Yes. All asleep.
This one. Amanda. She's just a kid.
Yes, and she has a whole life ahead of her.
An important life.
She didn't choose this.
Everyone you've seen today volunteered.
I'm not talking about
your volunteers, your followers.
This girl,
these other people...
did any of them actually choose to be here?
- No.
- No. You chose them.
You abducted them.
- Yes.
- What gave you that right?
It wasn't a right. It was a burden.
When your neighbors' house is in flames,
do you rush in and try and save them?
Or do you wait outside for
fear of trespass?
This girl, her life
didn't need saving.
No, and neither did her children.
Or her children's children.
But someone in that family would need
saving down the line.
What about her parents? Are they here?
Everyone had to make sacrifices.
I left people behind...
people I loved dearly.
I didn't choose to do this.
I did it because I had to.
_
Thank you, Mr. Pilcher.
David, remember I told you
about that Megan Fisher?
- Well here she is.
- Megan? The...
Hypnotherapist.
I'm studying to be one anyway.
I see.
It's not as scary as
it sounds, I promise.
People think hypnotherapy is like
mind control, but 'course
that's ridiculous. I can't make anyone
do anything they don't wanna do.
So you can't brainwash the
rest of the world into joining us?
I'm afraid not.
Too bad. I have to rely on volunteers.
You don't have enough people, do you?
Megan, it takes time for
people to understand...
You've shown them where to look.
They're not blind!
They see! They see what's happening.
They don't care. You can't wait for them.
You have to leave them behind.
They've made their choice.
You have to do whatever it
takes, Dr. Pilcher. Find a way.
Please.
Think I may need an ark.
Yeah, you just might.
Big plans tonight?
March Madness, a couch
and Rocky Road.
- I got a better offer.
- Rocky Road is a hard thing to pass up.
Come for a ride. Find out.
- I got 2 hours left on my shift, sir.
- I run this place. Get in.
Tell me a bit about yourself, Arnold.
What is this, man? I don't... I don't know.
There's not much to say. I...
I live on the eastside, I got a dog
named Frederick and that's about it.
I think there's plenty more to tell.
You never knew your father.
You lived with your mother in North Philly.
Straight A student at grade school.
Class president for three years in a row.
Then in '87... your mother passed away
from ovarian cancer.
Foster homes for a few years.
Grades plummeted and...
'92, you're in a detention
center for robbery.
'94, two years in jail...
real jail this time.
- For heroin possession.
- My life was messed up...
but I did everything I could
to clean up my life.
Did your little friends tell you
that I applied for the
Philadelphia Police Academy?
For 2 years in a row, so I could
make a difference and...
then they turned me down
and I moved out here.
Look, if you could just give me 2 weeks.
That's all I need.
Relax. I'm not firing you.
I'm starting a new project.
I'm looking for people... people like you.
People who've been given
a bad deal in life. Take a look at this.
Charles Keane. One of the most respected
physicians in the state.
5 years ago, he overprescribed
oxycodone to a patient that killed her.
Lost his license, his wife,
his family. Lost everything.
But most people, people like Charles...
They struggle to understand my project.
They require a little persuading.
That's where you come in.
You see, I believe that given time,
they will realize
that I am offering them the
most incredible future.
A chance to restart,
but also to participate
in something quite
extraordinary.
And I want you at
the center of that, Arnold.
This is it. Your second chance.
Will you join us?
Just relax, sir. I'm not gonna hurt you.
_
I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Lock up for me, will ya?
I've tried to preserve the very
best of our culture. To create
a world in which they can grow,
in which they can thrive.
You really expect people to grow
and thrive in a world ruled by fear?
They didn't choose to be here.
Has anyone ever lived a life entirely
defined by their own choices?
No.
Socioeconomic status,
race, gender...
the day on which we were
born, beauty, height.
We are defined by millions of variables,
way beyond our own choosing.
But that's different. That's fate.
Those aren't choices made by others.
Others have always made
choices for us.
Think of the millions drafted
into wars decided by their leaders.
The causes of which,
in retrospect, seem utterly meaningless.
A patch of land, someone's religious
tenets, the price of a tank of gasoline.
My actions were motivated
by something far purer.
We'd left the old world in the year 2014,
and went to sleep for 2000 years.
According to my
algorithms, that would be
enough time for the
environment to reset.
For the planet to thrive
after all the humans
had died out and stopped destroying it.
We would have a second chance.
All your questions today,
I've asked myself thousands of times.
In that moment, everything became clear.
All my work, the sacrifice, was vindicated
because I'd been proven right.
It was 2000 years later,
and we were the only humans left.
When humans are united by a cause,
they can achieve almost anything.
How long did it take to rebuild?
Only 2 years.
Keeping it safe proved more difficult.
We'd established a perimeter.
Not to keep anyone in,
you understand, but to
keep the Aberrations out.
Have they ever gotten in?
We soon discovered they were dangerous,
but very predictable.
- Unlike humans.
- That's why you spy on them.
This isn't a little town, Ethan.
This is a new civilization.
When America was born,
there were spies on every corner.
Traitors were
hung on the street.
And Stalin spied on his citizens
and executed them just like you.
_
_
- Ted came by?
- -Franklin, too.
So, it's ready?
Almost.
Well, what's taking so long?
- If innocent people die...
- We've talked about this.
No. We've talked about it,
but now it's real.
How many people have I killed
over the years?
And for what? After Peter, I've had enough.
I-I-I can't take anymore.
I wanna know what's out there.
We deserve to know.
I'm ready to face whatever it is.
I-If-If your fiancée is out there and
there's still a future for
you with her, we'll face that too.
I just... I can't leave here without you.
I won't. We have to make this choice...
together.
You still with me?
Yes. Of course. I'm with you.
Everything I've done is to
try and stop the town from
falling apart, but things
have become too unstable.
That's why I woke you.
They need someone
to look up to. Someone good.
Someone who'll make things better.
Well, the secrecy, the public executions...
That's gotta stop.
I agree, but... without a
government, without an army...
you've no means of control.
You say you wanna make things better.
You wanna do that?
Then phase out the surveillance,
stop the executions.
You have to tell them the truth.
I can't. Won't work.
You don't know that.
Yes... yes, I do know that.
Because I tried.
You and your wife
and son, Kate...
everyone you've seen in the town
is a part of group B.
There's a group A?
As soon as I woke them I told
them everything. The truth.
The effect wasn't immediate.
It spread like cancer.
Slowly... ate away at the town.
Some simply didn't believe me.
They ran away.
They didn't get very far.
Those that did believe...
caved in to despair.
These were ordinary people
in an extraordinary situation.
Their minds couldn't handle the shock
of this new reality.
It was too jarring.
They'd emerged from Plato's cave
into the light. It had blinded them.
People are fragile.
They need time to adapt.
They accept change gradually.
But I had been too distant,
too remote... blind.
I'd failed them.
I can't change what has happened,
but I can strive for a better future.
These are the dark ages,
but enlightenment is coming...
and I need you to keep
Wayward safe until it does.
When is this enlightenment
gonna happen?
When the new generation come of age,
they will spread the seed.
Young minds are fearless.
They're less ingrained
in the old world. They can
accept the truth.
My son, Ben... he knows the truth.
Welcome to the First Generation.
I'm not asking for forgiveness. I know a
lot of what I've said today disgusts you.
But together we need to find a way
to protect the town...
to protect the First Generation.
What choice do we have?
There is a new threat.
We don't know who they are.
There is a faction. We think they've
been removing their chips.
We don't even know how many they are.
They've tried to escape before.
They're prepared to do something reckless.
They're gonna take down the fence.
- If they succeed...
- They're not going to succeed.
We can't let them.
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to
make sure that nobody gets killed.
Not by this reckless group,
and not by whatever's beyond that fence.
That's why you're here.
And not by you.
It's ready.

Where's Dad?
This school...
it isn't like your other school.
Welcome to Orientation.
Well, you must be Theresa,
my new number two.
Your first client.
Okay, so you want me
to sell him a house?
No. I want you to give him a house.
- What is this?

David Pilcher.
This is not the year 2014.
This is the year 4028.
All that is left of civilization,

Wayward Pines.
Wait!
Wait for them!
Wait up!
- Run!
- Okay.

I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
If your wife's not returning your calls,
there's not much I can...
Of course, I'll give her the message.
- Hey...
- Yes, sir I will...
...who are all of these people?
Volunteers.
Over 200 of them.
They've devoted
their lives to the cause.
Where do they live?
They live, work, eat, sleep here,

They left their families

all of this, none of it
would be possible without them.
You are the
beating heart of Wayward Pines.
I'm sorry to interrupt, Dr. Pilcher,
they need you down in the CRU.
Thank you, Christina.
This shouldn't take too long.
I'll go take a look at his arm.
This way, Mr. Burke.
Ben...
what's going on?
Nothing.
Something's wrong.
Is it about that girl?
I was just...
Do you remember that poster that I
used to have in my room, above my desk?
Yes, the... the one of the Earth?
Thinking about how there's...
there's like
billions of people on the Earth.
And there's more and more every day.
I don't know... I...
That always just made me feel...
small.
And that's normal. Well, you know,
I think we all feel like that sometimes.
But then today I was thinking,
"What if it does matter?"
What we do, actually,
means something.
That's a lot scarier.
And what made you start
thinking about all this?
The science class, I guess.
Everything's gonna be all right.
Fine.
You just need to eat something.
Hello, Ted.
Kate.
Have some goodies for ya.
Excellent.
All right.
You mentioned the other day there
was a package you needed picked up?
I think it was in the back.
yes.
Thank you, I-I totally forgot.
D-d-do you mind?
- No. No.
- All right, this way.
Harold, Ted just came by
to pick up that package.
I think it's right back here.
What the hell are you doing?
We can't meet here.
- I thought that this room was clean.
- It is.
I don't care.
You-You coming back here with me,
- how do you think that looks?
- Looks like I'm picking up a package.
- Or it looks like we're meeting.
- Which... we need to.
- I can't find it.
- Can't find what?
McCall's package.
- Then what the hell is this?
- Doorknobs.
Without it, we can't finish
what we started.
- Did you check his house?
- Yeah.
- Basement?
- Yeah.
- Crawlspace?
- Kate...
it's not there.
What about his office?
Why would it be in his office?
Because it's not in his house.
Just... check it.
I can't.
Bill's always around.
Plus t-t-t-the place is crawling
with cameras and bugs.
And they... they got that new girl working
there, the... the cute brunette one.
- What's her name?
- Theresa.
Yeah, right.
Theresa.
I thought it over, Bill, and I quit.
No, come on now, you can't quit.
I've spent 8 years in here,
8 damn years dealing with your crap.
And the minute
an agent spot opens up
you just pass me over
for a shiny new model.
You know, the only surprising thing is...
I didn't see it coming.
- No... Maybe I should...
- W-Where are you gonna go, Henrietta?
Wait. D-Do you know about some
job openings out of state?
- Here, let me help.
- No, I got it, sweetheart.
Henrietta...
listen, I didn't ask for this job.
Okay? I even told Bill
- that you should have it.
- You must have been very persuasive.
I-I don't want the job.
I had no choice.
Like everybody else,
you must know how this town works. Really.
Listen, the truth is I'm trying
to get back home to Seattle and...
there was a new client earlier
who said that he saw things.
- Okay. Listen, Tracey.
- Theresa.
Theresa...
I get you. Okay?
Hell, I should. I used to be you.
But whatever you think you're doing,
I promise you, it's going nowhere good.
Look what they did to Peter.
They killed him and not just
'cause of some graffiti.
I don't believe that
horse manure for a second.
Because he was looking
where he wasn't supposed to.
Peter McCall thought
Plot 33 was a way out.
What do you mean by that?
What is Plot 33?
You want to end up dead, too, hon?
Don't be stupid.
I can understand
if you're angry with me.
I'm quite sure everything has been...
confusing.
But I assure you...
there is a purpose to everything
you find so strange.
I guess it's all been
one big misunderstanding?
I suppose that's...
hard for you to accept, but yes.
I'm glad we got that cleared up.
Ever since you came here...
you've been trying to...
save yourself...
save your wife...
save your beautiful son...
and that's quite commendable.
Wayward Pines is bigger than you.
It's bigger than them.
It's bigger than anyone of us.
David needs you now.
He needs you to take responsibility
for all of Wayward Pines.
Pamela Pilcher to the CRU.
Pamela Pilcher... to the CRU.
Duty calls.
Pamela Pilcher?
- Are you his wife?
- Oh, no.
His sister.
He got mother's good looks.
I got her courage.
David will be back
with you in a moment.
Who knows,
perhaps by the end of the day
you'll see things in a whole new light.
I don't think he likes you.
It's okay.
- Stand down. Thank you.
- Sir.
Who are they?
Distant cousins.
How distant?
In the late 1990s, we humans
began to understand
the dire impact we were having
on our environment.
At the same time, one division of my
company made a surprise discovery.
A small, but significant mutation...
in our own DNA.
We were changing the world.
And as a result...
we ourselves were
beginning to change.
Adapt.
I tried to warn the global community,
I thought they would listen.
I was wrong.
David, let's get going.
It's almost 9 o'clock.
What are you doing?
Come on, let's go.
Did you see the look on their faces?
I'll be their punchline on Monday.
I don't see why you care
what those people are thinking.
You know what you are doing.
We got plenty of time.
- What?
- We got all the time in the world.
You see, that's the real danger.
The concept of time.
Always more time.
The problem isn't real
unless it affects us directly.
Prioritize the present,
what's in front of us.
Otherwise, just delay,
delay, delay...
Well, you just have to keep on working.
You'll know when the answers show up.
No...
I can't do it anymore.
Even if we have the support of the
whole world to reverse these changes...
it'll probably be too late.
On my own.
You know better than that.
You're not alone, David.
You're right.
My sister.
The recovering drug addict.
Together, we're gonna save mankind.
And who knows...
some day we might.
Meantime, let's get some supper,
I'm starving.
My sister was right.
It would take time.
I couldn't protect the entire world.
But I could protect a select few.
I wrote a book.
I redirected profits
from my companies into
research and development of cryonics.
If this was to be our future,
then I-I had to find some way to avoid it.
I had to save some of us.
What you lookin' at, babe?
Just a surveyor map.
I-I thought I told you to look
at properties for that big-shot lawyer.
He's still in ICU, so I have the time.
Well, that ain't
what I asked you to do.
Just one s...
How about right now?
Do you know anything about this Plot 33?
It's a big empty lot.
And as far as I can tell,
nobody has developed on it,
which is strange because...
Look, it's right here.
It's on Boxwood and Third Street.
Which is...
It seems to me prime residential area.
Undeveloped?
I'll be damned.
That is very interesting, Theresa.
See, here is the thing, though.
When I want you to look at surveyor maps,
then I would say,
Theresa, hon, will you
look at some surveyor maps for me?
Until then...
only forget about
all this Plot 33 nonsense.
Okay.
Thank you, hon.
Hi, Bill.
Yeah.
Theresa...
I was...
Can... can we talk?
Testing cryonic suspension
was both dangerous and illegal.
I couldn't have made it public,
even if I wanted to.
How did you hide the funding?
Dummy corporations?
Along with various
trusts and charities.
You have enough money,
you can get away with anything.
Well...
we took notice...
- Kate, Evans.
- Others, too, eventually,
but... it wasn't
'cause of the money.
- It was the disappearances.
- Dr. Pilcher, she's stable now.
Got it.
Just here.
Blood pressure 110/80.
Who is she?
Sara.
Sara Barlow from Missouri.
She's a teacher.
How many more are there?
Harold and I,
we've been thinking for a while about
getting a new house and...
What do you want, Kate?
It's a small town.
We can't spend the rest of our lives
hiding from each other.
I don't intend on
spending the rest of my life here.
We don't always get what we want.
No, we don't.
- Hey, girls.
- Hi.
I didn't realize
you two were friends.
Yeah. We've...
actually, known each other for a while.
We're...
old friends.
Totally, makes sense.
I mean...
Kate, I've seen you talking to Ethan, so...
What can I get you?
Hey there, Bill.
Got a delivery here
for your new co-worker.
Do you want me to go
put it by your desk?
I ain't coming to get it.
So...
Teddy boy...
what's going on
with you and Harold's girl?
I see you two talking all the time.
It's just... just deliveries.
Well, you let me know
if she needs another delivery boy.
'Cause I'll be ready and willing.
You know, this package, I just realized.
It's actually for Theresa Cook.
Not Theresa Burke.
So why the hell are you
still standing there?
Sorry. Long day, man.
You let me know about Kate.
Waiting for a package?
No, no. I...
I was just thinking.
So you and Harold want a house?
No. No. I-I... I don't want a house.
That's not why I came to you.
I came to you because...
because I want to change things.
Hey there, Harold.
Got a delivery for ya.
It's taken me a long time,
but I realized I'm...
here, in this moment, in this town
because of choices that've been made.
Some of those
were made by others
but a lot of those choices,
they were my own.
And looking back, there are so many
better choices I could've made.
But then I realized
that I'm here, now...
and all I can do now,
is make new choices.
So I've decided I don't wanna keep
pretending that everything is okay.
I wanna make things better.
That's why I'm here, talking to you...
I just...
I hope I'm not too late.
Because now... now, more than ever...
we all need to be friends.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, sir.
They're all asleep.
Yes. All asleep.
This one. Amanda. She's just a kid.
Yes, and she has a whole life ahead of her.
An important life.
She didn't choose this.
Everyone you've seen today volunteered.
I'm not talking about
your volunteers, your followers.
This girl,
these other people...
did any of them actually choose to be here?
- No.
- No. You chose them.
You abducted them.
- Yes.
- What gave you that right?
It wasn't a right. It was a burden.
When your neighbors' house is in flames,
do you rush in and try and save them?
Or do you wait outside for
fear of trespass?
This girl, her life
didn't need saving.
No, and neither did her children.
Or her children's children.
But someone in that family would need
saving down the line.
What about her parents? Are they here?
Everyone had to make sacrifices.
I left people behind...
people I loved dearly.
I didn't choose to do this.
I did it because I had to.
_
Thank you, Mr. Pilcher.
David, remember I told you
about that Megan Fisher?
- Well here she is.
- Megan? The...
Hypnotherapist.
I'm studying to be one anyway.
I see.
It's not as scary as
it sounds, I promise.
People think hypnotherapy is like
mind control, but 'course
that's ridiculous. I can't make anyone
do anything they don't wanna do.
So you can't brainwash the
rest of the world into joining us?
I'm afraid not.
Too bad. I have to rely on volunteers.
You don't have enough people, do you?
Megan, it takes time for
people to understand...
You've shown them where to look.
They're not blind!
They see! They see what's happening.
They don't care. You can't wait for them.
You have to leave them behind.
They've made their choice.
You have to do whatever it
takes, Dr. Pilcher. Find a way.
Please.
Think I may need an ark.
Yeah, you just might.
Big plans tonight?
March Madness, a couch
and Rocky Road.
- I got a better offer.
- Rocky Road is a hard thing to pass up.
Come for a ride. Find out.
- I got 2 hours left on my shift, sir.
- I run this place. Get in.
Tell me a bit about yourself, Arnold.
What is this, man? I don't... I don't know.
There's not much to say. I...
I live on the eastside, I got a dog
named Frederick and that's about it.
I think there's plenty more to tell.
You never knew your father.
You lived with your mother in North Philly.
Straight A student at grade school.
Class president for three years in a row.
Then in '87... your mother passed away
from ovarian cancer.
Foster homes for a few years.
Grades plummeted and...
'92, you're in a detention
center for robbery.
'94, two years in jail...
real jail this time.
- For heroin possession.
- My life was messed up...
but I did everything I could
to clean up my life.
Did your little friends tell you
that I applied for the
Philadelphia Police Academy?
For 2 years in a row, so I could
make a difference and...
then they turned me down
and I moved out here.
Look, if you could just give me 2 weeks.
That's all I need.
Relax. I'm not firing you.
I'm starting a new project.
I'm looking for people... people like you.
People who've been given
a bad deal in life. Take a look at this.
Charles Keane. One of the most respected
physicians in the state.
5 years ago, he overprescribed
oxycodone to a patient that killed her.
Lost his license, his wife,
his family. Lost everything.
But most people, people like Charles...
They struggle to understand my project.
They require a little persuading.
That's where you come in.
You see, I believe that given time,
they will realize
that I am offering them the
most incredible future.
A chance to restart,
but also to participate
in something quite
extraordinary.
And I want you at
the center of that, Arnold.
This is it. Your second chance.
Will you join us?
Just relax, sir. I'm not gonna hurt you.
_
I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Lock up for me, will ya?
I've tried to preserve the very
best of our culture. To create
a world in which they can grow,
in which they can thrive.
You really expect people to grow
and thrive in a world ruled by fear?
They didn't choose to be here.
Has anyone ever lived a life entirely
defined by their own choices?
No.
Socioeconomic status,
race, gender...
the day on which we were
born, beauty, height.
We are defined by millions of variables,
way beyond our own choosing.
But that's different. That's fate.
Those aren't choices made by others.
Others have always made
choices for us.
Think of the millions drafted
into wars decided by their leaders.
The causes of which,
in retrospect, seem utterly meaningless.
A patch of land, someone's religious
tenets, the price of a tank of gasoline.
My actions were motivated
by something far purer.
We'd left the old world in the year 2014,
and went to sleep for 2000 years.
According to my
algorithms, that would be
enough time for the
environment to reset.
For the planet to thrive
after all the humans
had died out and stopped destroying it.
We would have a second chance.
All your questions today,
I've asked myself thousands of times.
In that moment, everything became clear.
All my work, the sacrifice, was vindicated
because I'd been proven right.
It was 2000 years later,
and we were the only humans left.
When humans are united by a cause,
they can achieve almost anything.
How long did it take to rebuild?
Only 2 years.
Keeping it safe proved more difficult.
We'd established a perimeter.
Not to keep anyone in,
you understand, but to
keep the Aberrations out.
Have they ever gotten in?
We soon discovered they were dangerous,
but very predictable.
- Unlike humans.
- That's why you spy on them.
This isn't a little town, Ethan.
This is a new civilization.
When America was born,
there were spies on every corner.
Traitors were
hung on the street.
And Stalin spied on his citizens
and executed them just like you.
_
_
- Ted came by?
- -Franklin, too.
So, it's ready?
Almost.
Well, what's taking so long?
- If innocent people die...
- We've talked about this.
No. We've talked about it,
but now it's real.
How many people have I killed
over the years?
And for what? After Peter, I've had enough.
I-I-I can't take anymore.
I wanna know what's out there.
We deserve to know.
I'm ready to face whatever it is.
I-If-If your fiancée is out there and
there's still a future for
you with her, we'll face that too.
I just... I can't leave here without you.
I won't. We have to make this choice...
together.
You still with me?
Yes. Of course. I'm with you.
Everything I've done is to
try and stop the town from
falling apart, but things
have become too unstable.
That's why I woke you.
They need someone
to look up to. Someone good.
Someone who'll make things better.
Well, the secrecy, the public executions...
That's gotta stop.
I agree, but... without a
government, without an army...
you've no means of control.
You say you wanna make things better.
You wanna do that?
Then phase out the surveillance,
stop the executions.
You have to tell them the truth.
I can't. Won't work.
You don't know that.
Yes... yes, I do know that.
Because I tried.
You and your wife
and son, Kate...
everyone you've seen in the town
is a part of group B.
There's a group A?
As soon as I woke them I told
them everything. The truth.
The effect wasn't immediate.
It spread like cancer.
Slowly... ate away at the town.
Some simply didn't believe me.
They ran away.
They didn't get very far.
Those that did believe...
caved in to despair.
These were ordinary people
in an extraordinary situation.
Their minds couldn't handle the shock
of this new reality.
It was too jarring.
They'd emerged from Plato's cave
into the light. It had blinded them.
People are fragile.
They need time to adapt.
They accept change gradually.
But I had been too distant,
too remote... blind.
I'd failed them.
I can't change what has happened,
but I can strive for a better future.
These are the dark ages,
but enlightenment is coming...
and I need you to keep
Wayward safe until it does.
When is this enlightenment
gonna happen?
When the new generation come of age,
they will spread the seed.
Young minds are fearless.
They're less ingrained
in the old world. They can
accept the truth.
My son, Ben... he knows the truth.
Welcome to the First Generation.
I'm not asking for forgiveness. I know a
lot of what I've said today disgusts you.
But together we need to find a way
to protect the town...
to protect the First Generation.
What choice do we have?
There is a new threat.
We don't know who they are.
There is a faction. We think they've
been removing their chips.
We don't even know how many they are.
They've tried to escape before.
They're prepared to do something reckless.
They're gonna take down the fence.
- If they succeed...
- They're not going to succeed.
We can't let them.
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to
make sure that nobody gets killed.
Not by this reckless group,
and not by whatever's beyond that fence.
That's why you're here.
And not by you.
It's ready.
