Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 3 - Once Upon a Time in Wayward Pines - full transcript
Nurse Pam resurfaces as a lethal threat to the town; Jason's past becomes known.
[narrator] Previously an
Wayward Pines...
They're gone.
[Jason] Tonight the people
of Wayward Pines
are gonna eat real food.
The town is starting
to finally come back together.
Look, you can tell me all the stories
you want about what this place is.
But what I won't accept is the reality
that I wake up in a dictatorship.
Wayward Pines needs a new generation.
You all will have the honor
of parenting the first generation
of 100 percent originals.
No first gen can harm another
first gen, we were taught that.
I didn't harm him. I exiled him.
Abbies did the harm.
All that matters is that we're here...
and we need to figure out a way
how to survive in Wayward Pines.
I wanna know where we really are.
I wanna know what that fence is about.
I wanna know what those things
are outside that fence.
And I want to know
how an underage cretin...
gets to be in charge of all this.
[Pam] Once upon a time,
there was a town,
hundreds of miles
and thousands of years away.
And around the town,
there was a fence.
Beyond the fence there were creatures.
They were terrible things.
Humankind gone wrong.
But inside the fence was a little boy.
And what he didn't yet know,
because he was too young,
was just how special he was.
[crying]
[opening theme music playing]
[Mario] What's the status?
Holding.
[twigs snapping]
[Mario] Do you copy?
All quiet.
Nothing but a deer here.
There's a damn deer out here.
[Mario] Copy.
- Did you hear the news, Dr. Yedlin?
- Afraid not.
People are saying that the Abbies
have skedaddled for good.
Wouldn't that be something?
You really believe
those things just ran away?
Well, I mean you have to have hope,
otherwise people just lose their crap.
Hey, how would you like to have
a celebratory drink with me
at the Biergarten?
I'm clocking out in five.
I know.
I mean, what happens in Wayward Pines
stays in Wayward Pines.
I mean it has to, there's no one left.
Anywhere.
Literally.
- The Abbies aren't gone.
- But they've retreated.
Mario confirmed it, no fence attacks,
nothing on the thermals for two days.
Two days? We need to do more testing.
The thermals,
they cover a 30 mile radius, Kerry.
The flamethrowers worked.
All this time, we've been trying
to figure out how to kill them.
We never thought about
what might actually scare them.
We have options now, this is exciting.
I just wanna know what's out there.
Now is the time to try.
You just put people out there.
And if Ben Burke is dead,
then you've killed a member
of the first generation.
They're saying in town
those things are gone.
- Did you hear that?
- People were talking at work.
That they just ran away?
Maybe Jason has information we don't.
Why is it that everyone puts
so much faith in that kid?
Because he's been groomed for this.
Like some prince?
Sometimes you just have
to stop asking questions.
Yeah, I can't do that.
None of this is easy.
[clatter]
What was that?
- There's someone downstairs.
- Jason.
Stay here.
[indistinct chatter]
Hello, Jason.
[Pam] The little boy
was the first born son
of Wayward Pines.
Raised by a kind and clever man,
and his strong sister.
They loved him
as they would their own son,
teaching him the important lessons
of a new world.
You are so curious about them.
See this fellow, here?
He was an accountant.
But in Wayward Pines,
we're gonna give him a little shop,
where he can make toys for children.
Make his heart happy.
And this is Emily Martin.
She was a wilderness guide,
and she knew
all the plants and animals
and how to survive in the woods.
[Jason] What animals are there now?
It's a very different world now.
[Jason] So what will they do
when they wake up?
Well, we'll help them adapt.
Some of them will adapt.
It's not easy for everyone.
It's not natural what we do.
.CJ..
- He should know.
If you really want to teach him,
he should know everything.
You'll know what to do.
Because this is your world.
And that's why you have
the most important job of all.
She just arrived.
I was comin' to get you.
I convinced him it'd be all right
to let in an old nurse
on a dark night.
- I can stay.
- No.
That won't be necessary.
- Will it, Pam?
- No.
We'll be fine.
You're not getting enough sleep.
I can always tell.
What are you doing here?
You and I had an agreement.
You would stay in that house
and I wouldn't look for you.
We agreed to disagree.
- It was an upsetting time.
- You killed Pilcher.
Yes.
And do you understand why?
Why I would kill my own brother?
Baby, I've been watching.
Paying very close attention
to everything
that David worked so hard to build.
And to the very difficult choices
that you've had to make.
The recent rebellion, killings.
Ben.
Have you forgotten...
-how we raised you?
- No.
No?
I've been reading Pilcher's plans.
We plant more crops, we gain security,
we grow stronger.
As our numbers grow,
we can start new settlements
out beyond the fence.
It's what he always wanted.
I was with David
when he was making those plans.
I know every step,
I could walk them in the dark.
Will you let me guide you
through this?
How would it look,
me welcoming you back in now?
Like the evolution of a great leader.
Yeah, that's my boy.
Yes.
Well, this is festive.
Who are they executing today?
Who's that?
They say the one that killed Pilcher.
Pam Pilcher?
She was his sister.
She killed her brother?
She did it to save the town.
The town she helped to build.
They've always said she lives
in that creepy old house
on the outskirts of the town.
A lot of you already know
why we're here today.
An old friend has rejoined us.
Some of you may know her
as the mother of Wayward Pines.
[scoffs]
And Pam Pilcher
was tested on invasion day.
She had mere seconds
to make a decision.
And we all mourn the loss
of our former leader,
but we also continue to evolve.
And over time, we heal.
Now the road ahead,
it relies on our expansion.
Our expansion
beyond the fence of Wayward Pines.
But our survival,
it depends on our united front.
So I personally feel blessed
to have Pam back by my side
to take these bold steps
into the future.
I go forth with forgiveness.
And so should we all.
Ah, Miss Pilcher.
Good to see you.
It's nice to have you back, Pam.
Oh, we'll have a drink
some night, Arlene.
Oh, yeah, I mean, I can't commit.
I have to check my calendar.
Whenever you're free.
Okay, I mean, it's tough
at this juncture.
For me, anyway.
Dr. Yedlin, you're looking well.
- I'm sorry, have we met?
- Yes.
Long time ago.
You're working here now?
It is a teaching hospital.
Would you like me to teach
you something?
What would that be?
Well, maybe something about
how we practice medicine, here,
in Wayward Pines.
You were forced to stay away.
It's a difficult time for everyone.
You didn't know, David.
You wouldn't understand.
You weren't even here.
Well, you weren't awake yet.
[chuckles]
I hear you're back together
with your wife.
Must be complicated for you.
Must make things interesting
in bed, though?
Sorry?
Well, is it like the first time?
After 2000 years, I wonder.
You haven't re-consummated yet,
I am so sorry.
You're gonna be pretty pointless
around here if you don't...
get to it, you know.
So then, what is your point?
Because I know
that I was not brought from Hawaii
to strictly service my wife.
Hawaii.
That bartender made such
a mean Mai Tai, and that's a skill.
Sheriff Pope and I could barely get up
in the morning.
Do you really think Hawaii
was all about you?
Look, I've got a lot of tidying up
to do here,
so maybe we can chitter-chat later on?
Yes. We will.
Have a report on my desk.
Aye, aye, Captain.
[laughs]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Pam] And so the boy grew,
exploring and studying,
learning all he could.
But as he grew,
his world started to feel smaller.
The sky was closer.
The trees seemed to shrink.
The fence felt confining.
He wanted to walk tall.
He wanted to feel distance.
He wanted to explore new lands.
Well, look at
that hard work you're doing.
But the party's back this way, buddy.
They're not my friends.
You made them come here.
Of course, they wanted to come.
Who wouldn't want to celebrate
the day you were woken?
They don't like me.
Of course, they like you.
Why would you say that?
Jason, you get back
to that party right now!
She's right,
everybody's waiting for you.
It's just what I was saying.
You need some convincing, buddy?
How's this?
Sheriff Pope is bringing
a new ice cream flavor just for you.
Sounds so yummy!
Pam, why don't you go back
and get started,
-and we'll be there in just a minute.
- Oh, thank you.
Feeling sorry for yourself
on your birthday?
Yeah, I know how that is.
I've had a few of those myself.
And I bet she won't take a sad face
as an answer now, will she?
No.
Well, you know what, Jason?
Anytime you want, you can come to me.
Okay? And you, you tell me
what you're thinking,
what you're feeling,
that's my gift to you.
And there's no expiration date.
I don't want anyone
to treat me special.
Well, that's not special.
That's your right.
As a son of Wayward Pines.
All of the first generation
are of Wayward Pines.
Well, but you are the first,
aren't you?
And you're theirs.
Wait. They're my real parents, right?
Pam and David? Sort of, yes.
And boy, do they have
some exciting plans for your future.
And don't you worry about those kids.
They are your friends.
And they know that one day very soon,
they will be standing in line
behind you.
There are exploratory steps
being taken
for our lives outside Wayward Pines.
Isn't that amazing?
But in order for us to be the
strongest community that we can be,
the most important steps will be taken
right here. By all of you.
That's right.
Let's put the pro back in procreation.
Haven't you?
We will start with K.
Lovely.
Yes, dear?
I thought we weren't officially paired
until graduation.
Officially, yes, but, well,
some of your friends
haven't waited that long,
have they? Right?
Raise your hands if you're already
on your way. Raise your hand.
Before we begin though,
I'd like Dana McKinnie, Julie Jackson,
Riley Ford and Lucy Armstrong
to gather their things,
and follow me into the hallway.
Now, if you four girls would go down
to the library,
Mrs. Randolph has some
special reading materials for you.
- Are we in trouble or something?
- Oh, no, honey.
You girls just haven't experienced
your blooming yet.
When you do,
you'll be able to fully participate.
Until then, you study up, okay?
[Megan Fisher] Okay.
Very impressive.
Pilcher would be proud.
I'm not so sure
about clearance procedures,
given your situation.
You heard Jason.
He wants me to be welcomed back.
You wouldn't want to disobey orders,
would you?
- No.
- It'll be all right.
[sighs]
[growling]
[Abbies growling]
[growling]
[growling intensifies]
Pam?
Oh. [chuckles] Here you are.
I wasn't aware
that we had an appointment.
We don't.
Are you sure you're allowed up here?
Don't be silly.
I am completely impressed
with what you've done up here.
Even in spite of your difficulty.
It's miraculous you survived.
Yes, it is.
Now I spend my time
studying their habits.
Looking for weak spots
in their genetic code.
It's all very time consuming,
it's very dangerous.
Yes, of course.
Difficult... for a hypnotherapist.
- And Jason seems to trust you.
- And you.
Slim pickings all around.
It's very difficult to be a leader
in a time of crisis. It's grueling.
Megan, I know
what my brother meant to you.
And I am so sorry
for what I had to do.
I beg you to understand.
I respect that.
But I won't pretend
to welcome you home
like you're some sort of hero.
You think I want to be congratulated
for what I did?
Maybe you want forgiveness?
Well, you won't get that from me.
I guess you best be on your way.
You take care, Megan.
[Abbies growling]
[screeching roar]
[screeching roar]
[knocking]
Hey. Come on in.
Let me clean you up a little, Theo.
Pam Pilcher.
What about her?
She said she was in Hawaii,
when they took us.
Some of them came here
on their own, you know.
People who believed.
And what about the ones who didn't?
Where's your ring?
- What?
- Your wedding ring.
They never gave it to me.
She also said that...
Hawaii wasn't just about me.
The past is full of holes
for me too, Theo.
[spray paint can hissing]
[boy] Oh, she's back. Come on!
[Pam sighs]
That's that then.
I wasn't expecting you out here.
Yeah, yeah, the hospital.
We are perilously short on staff.
Well, certainly we can discuss this
tomorrow at the hospital.
Well, it's been quite a walk.
It hardly requires
a house call, Doctor.
What was it like to have to...
beg forgiveness from a child?
Because that's
how you got back, right?
But whatever rule you broke,
it was really humane.
I helped lay the ground work.
So you had your reasons
for what you did that day.
Invasion day, right?
That's what you call it?
It wasn't an invasion.
David let them in
and his decision was...
less than wise.
- As was mine.
- To shoot him in the chest?
Your brother? Why did you do that?
He'd given up. His mind had snapped--
ls there something else, Doctor?
Yes, Hawaii, you said that...
- I wasn't the reason you were there.
- Did I say that?
That must've been one hell
of a selection process.
I mean, all that time you put
in choosing people and...
then you just... took us.
And here you are, alive.
Well, there were guidelines
that you followed, right?
There must've been.
And who you needed here
and for reasons why.
Hundreds of doctors in Boston,
yet... you chose me.
Everyone was chosen for a reason.
A random doctor?
And an architect?
Thank you so much
for stopping by, Doctor.
Did you find something?
What's Variola Major?
Why, is it missing?
Maybe one's missing.
Count them again.
I'm calling Dr. Yedlin.
Now, as you know, Pilcher's plans
are very specific. He...
he made notes
about reclaiming the valley,
going north for more potable water,
and building a bigger perimeter.
But his original intent
is important to me.
We're lucky to have Pam who can
fill us in on some of the details.
She'll be here soon.
Why?
'Cause I want her to be.
And I want the first group
to go out next week.
That's ambitious.
Pam. Please sit down.
CJ, as far as the crops go,
how do the plans look to you?
It took time to find
the fertile ground the first time.
We'll cut a wider path, see if
we can try more variety this time.
Good. Good. And Mario, is there
anybody on your team that--
Doctor Yedlin,
this is a closed meeting.
I want everyone to get up very slowly
and leave this room.
Don't touch each other.
Don't touch anything.
You. You stay exactly where you are.
And what is this about?
She got a hold of smallpox.
She took it from the lab.
[Dr. Theo Yedlin]
You're so protective of this town,
you don't want anything
to happen to it?
Fine. We're gonna run some tests.
- I'll decide about tests.
- Just one, small pox. What do you say?
We'll sedate you
and then quarantine you.
That won't be necessary.
If she injected herself,
she can infect everyone.
She wants to kill all of us.
Wayward Pines was supposed to be
the salvation of the human race.
It is.
No, no, it's over.
You're sabotaging us.
Because this is how this story ends.
Known it ever since I lost my brother.
You killed your brother!
He killed Ben Burke,
and how many others?
We're turning against each other.
All we seem to know is hatred.
CJ, you know this. Better than anyone.
What you've seen, what we did.
What happened to the dream.
Sweetie, I am trying
to give you a gift.
I raised you to be a leader,
and I am begging you
to lead your people to a peaceful end.
I let you in.
And now you have to deal with me.
Take her.
[Jason] The Abby threat is contained.
[Pam] Good.
- We won.
- Won?
Yes.
The traitors, they're gone.
Kate's toy bombers and their minions.
I took care of them.
Where's Pilcher?
I wanted to tell you both.
Jason.
No. No, no.
This is everything
you prepared me for.
You were right.
Their lives are in my hands.
They took that for granted.
I had to kill them. All of them.
In front of each other,
on their knees.
What I've done here,
what we have done here,
will be historic.
No. No, no, no,
that's not what we want for you.
What do you mean?
How can this be a community without
them standing in line behind me?
How dare you?
It's tragic to lose
any one of our small number.
[stammers] And you want
to celebrate this?
Become a legend? No.
No, that is not the boy we raised.
There is no humanity in murder.
Did you always know?
What, baby?
His plan. That it would fail.
That it would come to this.
I never wanted to believe that.
That's why you're here.
You can still make the right decision.
What?
Just let all these people die?
You realize how insane you sound?
Killing us all with smallpox.
You think I'd let you do that?
I'm a son of Wayward Pines.
You're not
only a son of Wayward Pines.
What else would I be?
You're mine.
My son.
And I raised you to be
as tenacious as I am.
All that matters to me now
is that we fix our mistake.
I won't stop. I will find a way.
So, baby,
you can let me die of smallpox,
or you can kill me.
She didn't infect anyone.
She's still within
the incubation period.
You saved the town, Dr. Yedlin.
You're a hero.
Maybe they'll appreciate you for it.
We can administer the antidote now.
That's not your decision to make.
[Pam] You remember the story
I used to tell you?
[Jason] The story of Wayward Pines.
[Pam] Your story.
[Jason] You never told me the ending.
Did you have one?
[Pam] It doesn't matter.
Fairy tales aren't real.
But it was just my fantasy
of what this place should be.
I never told you the reality
of the horror.
Okay.
All right.
The boy was grown.
And he looked at his town,
and he knew it was his to do with
as he pleased.
They wanted more.
But the more belonged
to the creatures.
When he realized this,
he felt all alone.
And became very, very sad.
And in his sorrow,
he remembered just how special he was.
And so he closed his eyes,
and he wished...
for grace.
[crying]
[door closes]
[Kerry] Is it done?
We should talk about
who's going out in the first group.
I don't want to lose
the most valuable people here, but...
we need some experts in the field.
CJ, he'll insist on going.
An engineer will be good.
- And additional military.
- Jason.
Do you wanna talk about what happened?
[Rebecca Yedlin] Hi.
Hey.
You okay?
No.
I keep looking for my watch.
As if time means anything here.
I never got a gift from my father
in my life.
No presents for Christmas,
birthdays, nothing.
I remember when my mom died,
after the service,
I went to shake his hand.
And he took off his watch,
his retirement watch
for 40 years on the dock,
"O Clancy's 5:30."
I'd never had a beer with my dad
in my life.
Sol... show up and there he is.
Two beers there.
So, every Thursday, 5:30.
That was our standing date.
So I'd been wondering,
what happened that first Thursday...
at 5:31.
When he have used the cell phone
that I gave him,
which he hated so much, to call me.
And of course,
there was no answer because...
[Rebecca crying]
I was gone.
And when was it that he called
the police, or how long he waited?
Did he go back that next Thursday?
I know you can't think about that
because if it consumes you,
you would not be able
to go on with your day,
but you need to know that...
I'll never forget that.
[classical music playing]
[closing theme music playing]
Wayward Pines...
They're gone.
[Jason] Tonight the people
of Wayward Pines
are gonna eat real food.
The town is starting
to finally come back together.
Look, you can tell me all the stories
you want about what this place is.
But what I won't accept is the reality
that I wake up in a dictatorship.
Wayward Pines needs a new generation.
You all will have the honor
of parenting the first generation
of 100 percent originals.
No first gen can harm another

I didn't harm him. I exiled him.
Abbies did the harm.
All that matters is that we're here...

I wanna know what that fence is about.

[crying]
[opening theme music playing]
[Mario] What's the status?
Holding.
[twigs snapping]
[Mario] Do you copy?
All quiet.
Nothing but a deer here.
There's a damn deer out here.
[Mario] Copy.
- Did you hear the news, Dr. Yedlin?
- Afraid not.
People are saying that the Abbies

Well, this is festive.
Who are they executing today?
Who's that?
They say the one that killed Pilcher.
Pam Pilcher?
She was his sister.
She killed her brother?
She did it to save the town.
The town she helped to build.
They've always said she lives
in that creepy old house
on the outskirts of the town.
A lot of you already know
why we're here today.
An old friend has rejoined us.
Some of you may know her
as the mother of Wayward Pines.
[scoffs]
And Pam Pilcher
was tested on invasion day.
She had mere seconds
to make a decision.
And we all mourn the loss
of our former leader,
but we also continue to evolve.
And over time, we heal.
Now the road ahead,
it relies on our expansion.
Our expansion
beyond the fence of Wayward Pines.
But our survival,
it depends on our united front.
So I personally feel blessed
to have Pam back by my side
to take these bold steps
into the future.
I go forth with forgiveness.
And so should we all.
Ah, Miss Pilcher.
Good to see you.
It's nice to have you back, Pam.
Oh, we'll have a drink
some night, Arlene.
Oh, yeah, I mean, I can't commit.
I have to check my calendar.
Whenever you're free.
Okay, I mean, it's tough
at this juncture.
For me, anyway.
Dr. Yedlin, you're looking well.
- I'm sorry, have we met?
- Yes.
Long time ago.
You're working here now?
It is a teaching hospital.
Would you like me to teach
you something?
What would that be?
Well, maybe something about
how we practice medicine, here,
in Wayward Pines.
You were forced to stay away.
It's a difficult time for everyone.
You didn't know, David.
You wouldn't understand.
You weren't even here.
Well, you weren't awake yet.
[chuckles]
I hear you're back together
with your wife.
Must be complicated for you.
Must make things interesting
in bed, though?
Sorry?
Well, is it like the first time?
After 2000 years, I wonder.
You haven't re-consummated yet,
I am so sorry.
You're gonna be pretty pointless
around here if you don't...
get to it, you know.
So then, what is your point?
Because I know
that I was not brought from Hawaii
to strictly service my wife.
Hawaii.
That bartender made such
a mean Mai Tai, and that's a skill.
Sheriff Pope and I could barely get up
in the morning.
Do you really think Hawaii
was all about you?
Look, I've got a lot of tidying up
to do here,
so maybe we can chitter-chat later on?
Yes. We will.
Have a report on my desk.
Aye, aye, Captain.
[laughs]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Pam] And so the boy grew,
exploring and studying,
learning all he could.
But as he grew,
his world started to feel smaller.
The sky was closer.
The trees seemed to shrink.
The fence felt confining.
He wanted to walk tall.
He wanted to feel distance.
He wanted to explore new lands.
Well, look at
that hard work you're doing.
But the party's back this way, buddy.
They're not my friends.
You made them come here.
Of course, they wanted to come.
Who wouldn't want to celebrate
the day you were woken?
They don't like me.
Of course, they like you.
Why would you say that?
Jason, you get back
to that party right now!
She's right,
everybody's waiting for you.
It's just what I was saying.
You need some convincing, buddy?
How's this?
Sheriff Pope is bringing
a new ice cream flavor just for you.
Sounds so yummy!
Pam, why don't you go back
and get started,
-and we'll be there in just a minute.
- Oh, thank you.
Feeling sorry for yourself
on your birthday?
Yeah, I know how that is.
I've had a few of those myself.
And I bet she won't take a sad face
as an answer now, will she?
No.
Well, you know what, Jason?
Anytime you want, you can come to me.
Okay? And you, you tell me
what you're thinking,
what you're feeling,
that's my gift to you.
And there's no expiration date.
I don't want anyone
to treat me special.
Well, that's not special.
That's your right.
As a son of Wayward Pines.
All of the first generation
are of Wayward Pines.
Well, but you are the first,
aren't you?
And you're theirs.
Wait. They're my real parents, right?
Pam and David? Sort of, yes.
And boy, do they have
some exciting plans for your future.
And don't you worry about those kids.
They are your friends.
And they know that one day very soon,
they will be standing in line
behind you.
There are exploratory steps
being taken
for our lives outside Wayward Pines.
Isn't that amazing?
But in order for us to be the
strongest community that we can be,
the most important steps will be taken
right here. By all of you.
That's right.
Let's put the pro back in procreation.
Haven't you?
We will start with K.
Lovely.
Yes, dear?
I thought we weren't officially paired
until graduation.
Officially, yes, but, well,
some of your friends
haven't waited that long,
have they? Right?
Raise your hands if you're already
on your way. Raise your hand.
Before we begin though,
I'd like Dana McKinnie, Julie Jackson,
Riley Ford and Lucy Armstrong
to gather their things,
and follow me into the hallway.
Now, if you four girls would go down
to the library,
Mrs. Randolph has some
special reading materials for you.
- Are we in trouble or something?
- Oh, no, honey.
You girls just haven't experienced
your blooming yet.
When you do,
you'll be able to fully participate.
Until then, you study up, okay?
[Megan Fisher] Okay.
Very impressive.
Pilcher would be proud.
I'm not so sure
about clearance procedures,
given your situation.
You heard Jason.
He wants me to be welcomed back.
You wouldn't want to disobey orders,
would you?
- No.
- It'll be all right.
[sighs]
[growling]
[Abbies growling]
[growling]
[growling intensifies]
Pam?
Oh. [chuckles] Here you are.
I wasn't aware
that we had an appointment.
We don't.
Are you sure you're allowed up here?
Don't be silly.
I am completely impressed
with what you've done up here.
Even in spite of your difficulty.
It's miraculous you survived.
Yes, it is.
Now I spend my time
studying their habits.
Looking for weak spots
in their genetic code.
It's all very time consuming,
it's very dangerous.
Yes, of course.
Difficult... for a hypnotherapist.
- And Jason seems to trust you.
- And you.
Slim pickings all around.
It's very difficult to be a leader
in a time of crisis. It's grueling.
Megan, I know
what my brother meant to you.
And I am so sorry
for what I had to do.
I beg you to understand.
I respect that.
But I won't pretend
to welcome you home
like you're some sort of hero.
You think I want to be congratulated
for what I did?
Maybe you want forgiveness?
Well, you won't get that from me.
I guess you best be on your way.
You take care, Megan.
[Abbies growling]
[screeching roar]
[screeching roar]
[knocking]
Hey. Come on in.
Let me clean you up a little, Theo.
Pam Pilcher.
What about her?
She said she was in Hawaii,
when they took us.
Some of them came here
on their own, you know.
People who believed.
And what about the ones who didn't?
Where's your ring?
- What?
- Your wedding ring.
They never gave it to me.
She also said that...
Hawaii wasn't just about me.
The past is full of holes
for me too, Theo.
[spray paint can hissing]
[boy] Oh, she's back. Come on!
[Pam sighs]
That's that then.
I wasn't expecting you out here.
Yeah, yeah, the hospital.
We are perilously short on staff.
Well, certainly we can discuss this
tomorrow at the hospital.
Well, it's been quite a walk.
It hardly requires
a house call, Doctor.
What was it like to have to...
beg forgiveness from a child?
Because that's
how you got back, right?
But whatever rule you broke,
it was really humane.
I helped lay the ground work.
So you had your reasons
for what you did that day.
Invasion day, right?
That's what you call it?
It wasn't an invasion.
David let them in
and his decision was...
less than wise.
- As was mine.
- To shoot him in the chest?
Your brother? Why did you do that?
He'd given up. His mind had snapped--
ls there something else, Doctor?
Yes, Hawaii, you said that...
- I wasn't the reason you were there.
- Did I say that?
That must've been one hell
of a selection process.
I mean, all that time you put
in choosing people and...
then you just... took us.
And here you are, alive.
Well, there were guidelines
that you followed, right?
There must've been.
And who you needed here
and for reasons why.
Hundreds of doctors in Boston,
yet... you chose me.
Everyone was chosen for a reason.
A random doctor?
And an architect?
Thank you so much
for stopping by, Doctor.
Did you find something?
What's Variola Major?
Why, is it missing?
Maybe one's missing.
Count them again.
I'm calling Dr. Yedlin.
Now, as you know, Pilcher's plans
are very specific. He...
he made notes
about reclaiming the valley,
going north for more potable water,
and building a bigger perimeter.
But his original intent
is important to me.
We're lucky to have Pam who can
fill us in on some of the details.
She'll be here soon.
Why?
'Cause I want her to be.
And I want the first group
to go out next week.
That's ambitious.
Pam. Please sit down.
CJ, as far as the crops go,
how do the plans look to you?
It took time to find
the fertile ground the first time.
We'll cut a wider path, see if
we can try more variety this time.
Good. Good. And Mario, is there
anybody on your team that--
Doctor Yedlin,
this is a closed meeting.
I want everyone to get up very slowly
and leave this room.
Don't touch each other.
Don't touch anything.
You. You stay exactly where you are.
And what is this about?
She got a hold of smallpox.
She took it from the lab.
[Dr. Theo Yedlin]
You're so protective of this town,
you don't want anything
to happen to it?
Fine. We're gonna run some tests.
- I'll decide about tests.
- Just one, small pox. What do you say?
We'll sedate you
and then quarantine you.
That won't be necessary.
If she injected herself,
she can infect everyone.
She wants to kill all of us.
Wayward Pines was supposed to be
the salvation of the human race.
It is.
No, no, it's over.
You're sabotaging us.
Because this is how this story ends.
Known it ever since I lost my brother.
You killed your brother!
He killed Ben Burke,
and how many others?
We're turning against each other.
All we seem to know is hatred.
CJ, you know this. Better than anyone.
What you've seen, what we did.
What happened to the dream.
Sweetie, I am trying
to give you a gift.
I raised you to be a leader,
and I am begging you
to lead your people to a peaceful end.
I let you in.
And now you have to deal with me.
Take her.
[Jason] The Abby threat is contained.
[Pam] Good.
- We won.
- Won?
Yes.
The traitors, they're gone.
Kate's toy bombers and their minions.
I took care of them.
Where's Pilcher?
I wanted to tell you both.
Jason.
No. No, no.
This is everything
you prepared me for.
You were right.
Their lives are in my hands.
They took that for granted.
I had to kill them. All of them.
In front of each other,
on their knees.
What I've done here,
what we have done here,
will be historic.
No. No, no, no,
that's not what we want for you.
What do you mean?
How can this be a community without
them standing in line behind me?
How dare you?
It's tragic to lose
any one of our small number.
[stammers] And you want
to celebrate this?
Become a legend? No.
No, that is not the boy we raised.
There is no humanity in murder.
Did you always know?
What, baby?
His plan. That it would fail.
That it would come to this.
I never wanted to believe that.
That's why you're here.
You can still make the right decision.
What?
Just let all these people die?
You realize how insane you sound?
Killing us all with smallpox.
You think I'd let you do that?
I'm a son of Wayward Pines.
You're not
only a son of Wayward Pines.
What else would I be?
You're mine.
My son.
And I raised you to be
as tenacious as I am.
All that matters to me now
is that we fix our mistake.
I won't stop. I will find a way.
So, baby,
you can let me die of smallpox,
or you can kill me.
She didn't infect anyone.
She's still within
the incubation period.
You saved the town, Dr. Yedlin.
You're a hero.
Maybe they'll appreciate you for it.
We can administer the antidote now.
That's not your decision to make.
[Pam] You remember the story
I used to tell you?
[Jason] The story of Wayward Pines.
[Pam] Your story.
[Jason] You never told me the ending.
Did you have one?
[Pam] It doesn't matter.
Fairy tales aren't real.
But it was just my fantasy
of what this place should be.
I never told you the reality
of the horror.
Okay.
All right.
The boy was grown.
And he looked at his town,
and he knew it was his to do with
as he pleased.
They wanted more.
But the more belonged
to the creatures.
When he realized this,
he felt all alone.
And became very, very sad.
And in his sorrow,
he remembered just how special he was.
And so he closed his eyes,
and he wished...
for grace.
[crying]
[door closes]
[Kerry] Is it done?
We should talk about
who's going out in the first group.
I don't want to lose
the most valuable people here, but...
we need some experts in the field.
CJ, he'll insist on going.
An engineer will be good.
- And additional military.
- Jason.
Do you wanna talk about what happened?
[Rebecca Yedlin] Hi.
Hey.
You okay?
No.
I keep looking for my watch.
As if time means anything here.
I never got a gift from my father
in my life.
No presents for Christmas,
birthdays, nothing.
I remember when my mom died,
after the service,
I went to shake his hand.
And he took off his watch,
his retirement watch
for 40 years on the dock,
"O Clancy's 5:30."
I'd never had a beer with my dad
in my life.
Sol... show up and there he is.
Two beers there.
So, every Thursday, 5:30.
That was our standing date.
So I'd been wondering,
what happened that first Thursday...
at 5:31.
When he have used the cell phone
that I gave him,
which he hated so much, to call me.
And of course,
there was no answer because...
[Rebecca crying]
I was gone.
And when was it that he called
the police, or how long he waited?
Did he go back that next Thursday?
I know you can't think about that
because if it consumes you,
you would not be able
to go on with your day,
but you need to know that...
I'll never forget that.
