Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 10 - Bedtime Story - full transcript

Theo is forced to make a decision that could seal humanity's fate.

[narrator] Previously an
Wayward Pines...

They just got their lea der back.

lt's not a question of "if" anymore,
it's a question of "when".

Our enemy has moved close
in numbers we've never seen before.

We will go back to sleep
until the Abby threat is contained.

There's a problem with the pods.

We can only take
roughly half the people.

He's going to
make the selections right now.

Take him out.

I can't do that.

And now, here we are,
with a baby coming.



That's what I want
and I think it's what you want, too.

You had a child.

The baby went to Texas.

That was 2,000 years ago.

- H0w do you know baby went to Texas?
- What.7

Haw do you know baby went to Texas?

What are you talking about?
Where is this coming from?

How do you know?

[gunshot]

We're gonna do
an emergency thorocotamy.

I need an additional surgical resident
and get me two OR nurses.

That's a really
risky procedure, Doctor.

He's gonna make it, right?
You can save him--

He's just another patient.



No, he isn't.

Go. Go.

I need two nurses in the OR, stat!

It's for Jason Higgins.

[man on PA] Attention,
citizens of Wayward Pines,

extra ction teams are an their way.

Gather your families
and your belongings.

Only take with you
what is essential for survival.

Those who ha ve not been picked up,
remain calm.

Shuttles will be coming back
for the next group shortly.

Sweetheart, are you okay?

Reminder, once you do lea ve,
you will not be returning home.

Let's go.

[beeping]

[rapid beeping]

- He's crashing.
- BP is 70 over 40.

- Dr. Yedlin...
- Control the bleeding, Oscar.

It's in his lung.

- V-fib.
- Paddles.

Clear.

- One milligram epi, now.
- We don't...

Vasopressin?

Clear.

[rapid beeping]

[ECG flatlining]

He's asleep.

Time of death, 07:33.

I want everyone to go home.

The evacuation has begun,
we do not have much time.

And you'll all be safe.

I promise you.

Despite all our efforts,

Jason Higgins died this morning.

Just a few minutes ago.

Jason served this town
as best as he knew how.

And the best way to honor him

is by fulfilling his wish.

To survive.

We have an opportunity.

Wayward Pines needs strong leadership,
no one here will dispute that.

But what it doesn't need,
what it doesn't deserve...

is a dictator.

Well, I know that many of us
did not ask to be here.

I know I didn't.

But we're all that's left.

And when we make it to the other side
of this, and we will,

humanity begins anew, with us.

Because that's now our destiny.

See you on the mountain.

[indistinct chatter]

You've updated
all the prescription records?

On all but the maternity ward.

The sutures on Mr. Welsh,
they're holding?

It should be fine.

I just wanted to say, sir,
what you did in there, with Jason,

the pericardial tamponade...

You didn't drain it first.

You didn't drain it at all.

That's the first thing
you should've done, right?

You never make mistakes.

Was that on purpose, Dr. Yedlin?

I did everything I could
to save the patient.

I took all reasonable steps.

You're gonna make
an excellent doctor, Oscar.

Dr. Yedlin, I just wanted to tell you
what a wonderful little speech

you made out there
and I know you're very busy,

but I just wanted to confess to you...

l've had a lot of different
professionalities in my life.

You mean jobs?

Yes,jobs.

L've been a toll booth operator,
l've been a hockey mascot.

L've been an adult bookstore manager.

But ofall those jobs,
this is the most satisfying.

I feel like l've really made
a difference,

and it's all because of you.

And I just wanted to say I feel
I can really make a difference

in the future.

And I feel like, together, you and I,

could change humanity.

- Yeah.
- I will see you in the mountains.

Tally-ho.

I will see you in the mountains.

So I noticed something interesting
while doing the paperwork.

Jason's blood type is AB negative,

it's rare, something like, less than
one percent of the population.

There are only, like, four people
awake in Wayward Pines who have it.

The first three
are this family, the Mansfields.

But then the other one

is Kerry Campbell.

That's weird, right?

Dr. Yedlin, CJ is waiting for you
in your office.

[footsteps approaching]

Impressive, huh?

I think they're real.

Ah...

Well, the evacuation has begun,
the pods are almost ready.

Easier for me if we can put everyone
into suspension at the same time.

I can explain to you how it works.

No, thanks. l've been in one,
that's enough for me.

Good. 'Cause I don't have
six months to teach you.

The plan that Jason commenced
had us taking intact families first,

both parents and all the children.

That accounts for almost 300
ofall the 571 pods that are working.

After that,

we take the children and leave behind
the adults who are non-essential.

If there's any trouble,

we'll be better able to control it.

You don't think
they deserve to know, CJ?

They will know.

But only after the rest of us
are safe.

Here, the list.

These were the decisions Jason made

about who would come
and who would stay.

He made them quickly
but he made decisions.

You knew him as a boy.

Idid.

But I did not know the man
he would become.

- He was never a man.
- He's in the past.

L'm not sure there's any point
in arguing over him now.

You have your own decisions to make,

maybe some preferences of your own.

I said it should be random.

That's impossible now.

And the Abbies could be here
any minute.

Maybe it's better to go with what
was already organized in the process.

Or you can make changes, of course.

There are over 300 people
who have never been woken at all.

You can wake some of them
to free up some extra pods.

But for every action,
there's an equal, opposite reaction.

You're not only choosing who to bring,

well, you're choosing
who to now leave behind.

You will be granting a pardon
and a death sentence at the same time.

Did he suffer?

Did you want him to?

I don't know.

Well, a pod just opened up.

You think this is funny?

You were always the brains
behind that tyrannical moron.

He wasn't a tyrant.

He was doing what he felt was right.

Right?

In a place where everything's wrong.

It's rotten.

It's all a lie.

It's been enough lies, Dr. Yedlin.

L'm only interested in the truth.

Yeah.

Incidentally,

you knew Pilcher
changed your file, right?

I knew that.

Did you also know that

Jason was placed in a pod
just days after being born?

And coincidentally,

you arrived here
days after giving birth.

And you both share
a very rare blood type.

A very rare blood type.

[retching]

[growling]

[woman on PA] Pleaseproceed
in an orderly fashion.

All families will be
processed together.

You 'll all g0 through
physical examina tian,

then be fitted for your suit
and/ed into thepad room.

Do not forget, you must ha ve
your identification with you.

Only residents
with proper iden tifica tion

may enter thepad room.

293 people have moved into
the super structure

and now in processing.

Then we come to collect the rest.

You all right?

No.

[man on PA]
Residents of Wayward Pines,

if you were not
an the initial shuttle lists,

you must wait in your homes
for group two.

Please be patient.

The next shuttles are departing soon.

l'm sorry.

You're not on the first list.

We're taking people up in two groups.

We have to sequence the people
in the pod room in a specific order.

We'll be back shortly for group two.

- Daddy.
- Ma'am.

Don't be scared.
Mama's gonna be there with you.

L'll see you in a little bit, okay?

[man] All right, the bus is
gonna leave in two minutes, kids,

here we go, move along.

Keep walking, guys. Hey, keep going.

Single file lines, single file.

Everyone on the bus, everyone on.

Let's go. Keep movin'.

Frank.

Frank!

Let's go, everyone!

What's happening?

Keep movin'.

They told us to wait here.

They're taking people up
in two groups.

We're group two.

What's wrong with us?

Nothing.

They're coming back.

My brother, have you seen him?

Frank!

Frank Armstrong, have you seen him?

You're holding up the line, come on.

- No! Frank!
- Let's go. Get on the bus.

Keep it moving. Come on.

Frank! Frank!

Frank, Frank!

Lucy!

Frank!

- Lucy!
Hey!

You're not on the list!

[groaning]

Frank. Frank! No.

Frank.

No! I don't wanna go!

[Lucy sobbing] No!

Rebecca Yedlin?

Time to go.

You need to wait here.

What are you talking about?

We're taking people in two groups.

We're one group, we're married.

It's something to do
with the sequencing in the pod room.

Now, if you'll come with us ma'am,

-please--
-l'm not going anywhere without

-my husband.
- Rebecca--

lt's just one more person,
you can take us both there together.

Rebecca. Give us a minute.

Come on.

- What's happening?
- I don't know.

[sighs]

Did Theo do this?

We don't know that anyone did it.

We just figured everything out.

Yeah, none of that changes.

I don't wanna go alone.

I can't be alone again.

When you go to sleep,
I promise you, I will be there.

And when you wake up,
I will be there, too.

Wherever I am.

And whenever you are.

Both of you.

[sobbing]

[engine revving]

The last group
is moving towards the pods.

Which we hope will work.

There are no guarantees in this life.

You're a surgeon, you know this.

L've had lives in my hands,

held a human heart beating.

Did one earlier today,
as a matter of fact.

But we're not saving just one life.

We're saving the human race.

It isn't any different.

No, it's completely different.

Whoever destroys a soul,

it is considered
as if he destroyed an entire world.

And whoever saves a life,

it is considered
as if he saved an entire world.

You've been saving the world
all along, Doctor.

You just didn't know it.

Ifixed things.

Re-attach nerves,
remove cancerous tissue,

but it was never spiritual,
not for me.

Pilcher...

he was playing God
when he brought us all here.

Do you think it was a mistake for him

to take the fate of mankind
to his own hands?

A man once asked me, "Would you save
a hundred people if you could?

Thousand people?"

Of course the answer is, "yes".

And then, some crazy nurse drugged me,
kidnapped me and brought me here.

But he's talking about the alternative
which was, they were all gonna die,

so, yes, of course.
But that's not the case,

that's not what this was.

Everyone here
was gonna live their lives.

Die horribly or peacefully,
but naturally.

And now, tonight,

choice is,

we're doing the same thing.

You said you fixed people.

Past tense.

Is it something you're not planning
to do anymore,

in this next life?

[dramatic music playing]

[beeping]

[people shouting]

This is Dr. Theodore Yedlin.

And, uh...

I hope whoever hears this
understands all this more than I do.

But you need to know

that David Pilcher
was wrong about everything.

In an effort to save humanity,
he created a town that is

ruled by inhumanity.

An effort he had no right
to undertake.

We are now nevertheless in a place
where we have run out of food,

and there's an enemy, soon,

to overtake the town
and kill everyone here.

David Pilcher collected several
viruses and they were kept here,

I assume for some form
of future-germ warfare.

I intend to inject myself with
the three most virulent strains,

bubonic plague,

tVDhoid,

and Marburg.

After the incubation period,
roughly 13 hours,

I will walk outside
of the fence and...

be consumed.

By my estimations, just...

medical school memory,

roughly a third to the half, should be
wiped out by the bubonic plague alone.

The typhoid is water-bearing
as is Marburg.

So the rest should follow suit.

It's only a guess.

But it's the best I have.

So the existing members,
when they do wake,

possibly, could have a new life.

So...

That's all.

Except...

This idea of the greater good...

There is no greater good.

There's only good.

No matter how small the act.

Dr. Yedlin.

Your wife is arriving,
your former wife.

Thanks.

But there's trouble at the checkpoint.

MAN: Return to your homes.
You are group two.

If you are not in your homes
the vans willnot be able

to pick you up and
process you properly.

Return to your homes now.

Open the gates now!

You're not going instead of me.

[clamoring]

Whats' going on here?

Theo, they left Xander.

Get back! Go home!

Go home!

[woman on PA] Please stay in line
while waiting for processing.

Rebecca.

Where's Frank?

Where's Xander?

Give me some of that.

You're too young.

I wish I was born somewhere else.

Hmm, unfortunately, there is no
somewhere else.

What was it like out there?

Scary.

So like how it is in here.

You know,

she is like a mom to her.

Good.

Get in.

Both of you. Come on, get in.

Just don't make a moment of this.
We got a...

Get out of the car.

Who's that?

I got this.

We're gonna need that jeep, Xander.

Don't do anything stupid.

Dr. Yedlin.

You could've just told us.

I know.

I thought I did
a pretty good job for you.

But I guess I was wrong.

So you say hello
to the future for me, okay?

Arlene.

You're taking his pod. Come on.

Thank you, Dr. Yedlin. Thank you.

Still don't know why you did that.

I don't either.

Things gonna be different?

They have to be different.

L'll get to the pod room, it's time.
Get them processed.

How's your head?

L'm fine.

Becca.

[woman on PA] Please stay in line
while waiting to be processed.

Becca!

Frank.

Whoa, whoa.

- Easy.
- I was so scared.

L'll protect you.

[woman on PA] Pleaseproceed
in an orderly fashion.

All families will be
processed together.

You 'll all g0 through
physical examina tian,

then be fitted for your suit
and/ed into pod room.

Hey. lt's not your fault.

We've all believed in things
here that weren't real.

You don't even know.

I know.

Pilcher isn't here. Neither is Jason.

But you are.

You survived everything

with your intelligence, your instinct.

What if for once he was put here
for the service of something good.

We need all of that.

I need it.

And you certainly deserve
a fresh start.

One was enough.

Thank you.

I guess the future needs ice cream.

I guess.

We couldn't save our marriage.

You can save the town.

Only you can.

[growling]

[beeping]

[Dr. Theo Yedlin]
I intend to inject myself

with the three most virulent strains,

bubonic plague, typhoid, and Marburg.

The incubation period,
roughly 1.? hours,

I will walk outside of the fence
andbe consumed.

"There is no greater good.

Only good.

However small the act."

I make this sacrifice
with the knowledge

that with everything that has been
taken from me here,

there is still a way
I can serve my purpose,

-and make things right.
- Don't do this.

It's done.

You are needed here, Dr. Yedlin.

Humanity needs you and more people
like you in the future.

And less people...

like my son.

It's morphine.

Inject the entire vial into a vein,

two minutes before you go
outside the fence.

You'll still feel them.

It's the right choice.

For us both.

Don't worry,
the future's not gonna miss me.

L'm just a girl from Idaho, Doctor.

Goodbye, Theo.

Non-essential systems
have begun shutting down.

Only power to the pod room
and the fence will remain.

That's that.

Look, l'm not much...

for making speeches
and I already gave one today.

I don't know the world
that we're gonna wake up to.

But I know we did everything,

because that's what humans do.

It's our nature.

And/We seen our worst here.

But we 've also shown our best.

So let's carry that.

Let's carry that.

Good luck to us all.

And, hopefully,
l'll see you all very soon.

[whistling]

[Abbies roaring]

You look tired, baby.

Was it a mistake?

You can make the world
whatever you want.

You have that power.

[beeping]

[baby crying]
