Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 5 - Sound the Alarm - full transcript

[narrator] It is the year 4032.

Man's destruction
of the environment has created

evolutionary aberrations
known as Abbies

that rule the Earth.

[Abbies roaring]
[man screaming]

One man saw the catastrophe coming.
He created an ark for mankind

and selected a chosen few to sleep
for 2,000 years

and defy mankind's extinction.

Surrounded by mountains
and protected by an electric fence,

the last of humanity
left alive on Earth,

do their best to survive
in a town called Wayward Pines.



[narrator] Previously an
Wayward Pines...

[Jason] Pilcher sent a dozen nomads

in a dozen directions
out beyond the fence,

and Adam's the only one
who's ever returned.

[hissing]

They're gone.

This is a rare opportunity.

With the Abbies retreated,
we can work without fear.

I'm gonna come with you.

Help me find my son.

[Abby screaming]

[Abby growling]

That every time one thing here
seems almost rational,

two things pop up
that make absolutely no sense at all.



Every member
of our community has a duty

to ensure the future
of the human race.

Lucy has a choice.

Actually, Rebecca, she really doesn't.

I don't want to be a mom.

Frank,

help me with your sister.

You told her.

The Abbies are gone, Doctor.

And we have a chance
to secure our future,

and start forging a new path.

You're underestimating them.

[Abby growling]

[alarm ringing]

[Theo] Please don't go to work today.

[Rebecca] Sorry, I have to.

We should go some place.

Galapagos, Machu Picchu.

I can't tell if you're
actually being serious.

Oh, I am. Those are real places.

Those places are very far away.

Theo,

how about a beach?

Hawaii?

Honey, we're going to Hawaii.

Can you pull the projected estimates
of the Peterson Project?

I'm sorry, I was told to give
all the materials to Alex.

What, to Alex? No, he hasn't been
brought up to speed.

I think they're going
with his proposal.

So they're stealing
my project away from me?

I'm sorry.

Push everything,
I want the entire team

on a conference call right away, okay?

There's a man in your office.

He wouldn't wait at reception.

Rebecca Yedlin?

David Pilcher.

Tell me, is that Piers Park?

My father used
to take me sailing there.

- Mr. Pilchner--
- Pilcher.

- Right.
- Maybe you've heard of my book.

The Coming Crisis, Human Adaptation
to Environmental Pressure?

What is it that you want?

Yes, yes, of course.

Well, I'd like you
to consider a project,

an ambitious project,

something historic.

And what kind
of a building would that be?

Let me tell you about it over dinner.

Montrachet.

The most noble
of the white burgundies.

Californian Chardonnay presents
right from the bottle.

Instant gratification
for the American palate.

It should be about what ages,

what lasts.

My Harvard thesis.

I haven't seen this in years.

You thought your title was bad.

How did you get this?

I surround myself with people

who are very good
at getting me things I want.

This is quite impressive.

You're a fan of Henry Clubb, I see.

He's the reason I'm an architect.

In 1856,

he built a settlement called the--

The Octagon City. Yes, I know.

And it failed.

Yes.

What if we were to have
a second chance?

To start over,

with a small, enlightened community,

that grew... gradually,

until it became the most essential,
the most significant community

that the world has ever known?

You'd wanna be a part of that,
wouldn't you?

I think anyone would.

You'd be surprised.

I believe the flood is coming,
Rebecca.

It will make all things new.

We need an ark.

I need you to design it.

What you're proposing sounds--

Crazy. Yes, I know.

You gotta get used to people looking
at you as if a crackpot,

a false prophet.

It can weigh you down,
weigh anyone down.

But if you believe in something,
if you truly believe,

then you'll fight for it.

I was going to say what
you're proposing sounds expensive.

I would be willing to pay
whatever it takes.

I'm prepared to give
my last dime for this.

I am searching for dreamers
like myself.

Are you a dreamer, Rebecca?

Wouldn't you like the opportunity...

to build the city
you've always dreamt of building?

A legacy beyond compare.

[opening theme music playing]

[Abby growling]

[beeping]

[Kerry] Units are on the way.

- Lock off Main Street.
- Yes, Sir.

No one sees this.

I'm on it.

How did he get in? Are there others?

We don't know yet.

Why isn't it attacking?

After we kill it, we'll do a sweep.

[indistinct chatter]

[soldier] Move, move, move!

[indistinct chatter]

Kill it?

We shouldn't kill it,
this one's different.

Look.

It's the first female we've ever seen.

[Theo] It's a town.

[Rebecca] With a real Main Street.

[Theo] Is that a beer garden?

[Rebecca] Mm-hmm.

So now, I know what keeps you up
at 4:00 a.m.

It's beer gardens.

It's designed for happiness.

You make things work on the inside,
I make things work on the outside.

We both make a difference.

[Rebecca chuckles]

Guess I'm just a little concerned.

Why?

Mr. Right strolls in to your office
with a golden ticket,

gigantic commission, asking you to...

build Mayberry.

And that just doesn't make sense
to me.

I don't want you to get hurt.

We both know that Utopia can't exist.

Could you please leave me alone?
I just want to work right now.

[scribbling]

[slams pencil on desk]

[girl] Hi, Frank.

Hey, you feeling the love?

You beat up that Abby.

Actually it was more like--

Hey, every girl in school is locked in
on you.

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

[Megan] She's been strangely passive
since she's arrived.

There are no signs of malnutrition,
the x-rays look normal.

But we're just getting started.

We wanted to wait until the effects
of the tranquilizer

you shot her with fully wore off
before we started any blood work.

Our other Abbies seem to have
calmed down since she got here.

Oh.

There is this, though.

What is it?

Well, we're not sure.

It's not natural, nor does it look
like the combat scarring

we've seen on some of the males.

It might be something anthropological.

Anthropological?

They're not a lost tribe,
they're animals.

I'm gonna check
the Pilcher research again.

But there isn't much
on the females, is there?

The Abbies that breached the fence
on invasion day, those were all males.

And we knew the females were
out there, obviously,

and as with any species,
they're different.

We just don't know how different.

Maybe I can unearth something
that will help us.

Understand them?

Kill them.

Once and for all.

[Jason] Keep me posted.

Margaret sure seems to be
handling all this pretty well.

Margaret?

You named her?

I name all my abbies.

The big one's Dennis.

He was a bully.

That one's Max, another bully.

He hated high school.

Me too.

My ex-girlfriend,
whenever I apologized,

she just stared at me.

Sol named her Margaret.

I'm sorry, Margaret.

We completed the sweep on the town,
no other Abbies were found.

Good. And the fence?

The fence is secure.

Then can you explain to me
how an Abby ended up

on our carousel on Main Street?

Maybe she was here all along.

She's docile,
she could've gone undetected.

Maybe when the fence was up
until the explorers left.

Or someone helped it.

[Mario] Who would do that?

Keep working on it.

You could help those two
with the water samples

if it's not too much trouble.

Got a shovel handy?

'Cause I could help you
dig some graves.

Is that why you came back?

To preach the end of the world?

'Cause none of us intend
to die out here.

When they come, it won't matter.

Pines have a life expectancy
of over 5,000 years.

It's a terrible thing to outlive
everything around you, isn't it?

Nature is cruel that way.

I'm not going back, CJ.

We can't be completely sure
if the Abbies are gone.

You should go back where it's safe.

No, I've made my decision.
I'm staying here.

It's safer inside.

Ben's out here.

I'm never going to leave my son again.
I'm still his mother.

I don't need your protection.

[CJ] You might have to tell him
the same thing.

[whimpers]

That man is the reason
why my whole family is dead.

Yes. But he's also the reason
why you're still alive.

First time in Idaho?

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Across here.

This is where we will build
our tomorrow.

Unfortunately, all these trees will
have to go, except for the pines.

They age better.

Looks like there's a town
already there.

Not for long.

I'd like for you to meet
the rest of the team.

Everyone...

Ah!

Meet our architect, this is Rebecca.

- Hey.
- Hi. I'm Megan.

I loved your plans.

The way you put the cars
and the garages

in the back of the houses,
it's just so elegant.

And with everything close by,
who needs to drive anyway.

I mean, it's such an obvious way
to encourage socialization.

But, still... kudos.

Thank you.

Is that where we'll build
our base of operations?

Well, we've already started.

It's on the other side
of the mountain.

But you'll have ample time to explore
up there after dinner tonight.

Uh-huh.

[car approaching]

Hey, Jason.

[Jason] Rebecca,
as you may have heard,

the Abby on Main Street was
the only one.

- Good news.
- You designed this place.

Now I need your help.

It's my job to keep this town safe.

Are you sure
the fence is impenetrable?

The fence is secure.

- What if you're wrong?
- Then we're dead.

My designs are not the problem here,
Jason.

How are things at home?

Fine.

Good.

Good.

Then I trust you told him everything.

It's not good to keep secrets,
Rebecca.

[door slams shut]

I'd like to reschedule.

You are locker number 4.

Procreation room nine.

Are there cameras in the...
in the rooms?

There are cameras.

Procreation room nine.

[soft music playing]

Hey, Frank.

Meadow, hi.

Do we get on the bed or something?

Yeah... yeah. Okay.

You know, Frank, this...

probably works better
if we took our robes off.

Yeah. Sure.

Okay.

I... I forgot the whole...

I know it starts with
then I think it's...

It's right there.

[Frank] Okay, right.

So let's "K" then.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm just a little...
a little nervous.

Well, we could go straight to P
if you want.

No. I mean, you know,
it's just this setup.

Yeah, let me.

[Meadow] Just-- Just forget it.

What?

I get it, okay? You don't like me.

No, I mean, wait. That's not what--

[Meadow] Then what is it?

You're right. We're not a good match.

I'm more into blonds anyway.

Yeah, well, maybe you're not
a good match for anyone.

Don't worry, I'll let them know.

Is he in?

Yes, he's in.

But he's very busy.

And unfortunately we're not accepting
any new walk-ins at this time.

You asked to see me?

I heard you caught one of those
creatures in the middle of town.

We did. She is secure in the lab.

Still alive?

Yes.

You said "she", how do you know that?

It doesn't take a gynecologist,
Dr. Yedlin.

So, you have a real lab here?

In the mountain, yes.

We've been studying the males,
but this could be a real opportunity.

We've never caught a female.

Never even seen one.

Little more to the left,
I think, there.

So, who's running
your scientific research team?

Because if somebody has
the appropriate training,

I have yet to meet them.

Well, it's not your training either.

Unless you have completed

a veterinary rotation
I'm not aware of.

You need someone who understands
protocols, medical ethics.

Unless those are part of the old rules
that Wayward Pines seems exempt from.

Well, there are plenty of things
we're grateful to leave behind.

But in this case, yes,
the old rules should still apply.

Wonderful. Put me in charge then,
of the research.

You need someone who's qualified.

I could do that.

But if I support this,
and it moves forward,

you may step on some toes.

Great.

Just let me know
when you'd like to start

and I'll introduce you to your team.

[Megan] Dr. Yedlin, please come.

We're about to extract
some cerebro-spinal fluid.

Would you like to observe?

Why isn't she sedated?

It's also a study of the pain reflex.

We need to know if pain can be used
as a deterrent.

She can be monitored but she's not
to be touched in any way.

Dr. Yedlin will be
joining your team, Megan.

I'll actually be leading it
per our agreement.

Oh.

Does Jason know about this?

Jason is on board.

And Dr. Yedlin is
a world class surgeon

who's received numerous awards
and fellowships.

Learning as much as we can,

as quickly as we can is what's best
for Wayward Pines.

I'll leave you two to your work.

I'm sure a world class surgeon
and a world class hypnotherapist have

a lot to talk about.

Excuse me, did she say hypnotherapist?

That was a long time ago.

I have completed many years
of study and research since then.

I'll be by tomorrow morning,

we'll lay out
a proper set of protocols.

Wonderful. I look forward to it.

Do it.

[tapping on wineglass]

First of all,

I would like to say how ecstatic I am
about all the work you've done.

When we first met, you told me that...

you wanted to blow up the world
and start over.

Well, believe me...

You're well on the way.

Your designs are amazing.

[Rebecca] Thank you.

Thank you, David.

Thank you.

I do have a confession to make.

It's important you understand
the full scope of our plans.

Okay. Terrific.

Construction on the designs
that you've laid out

will not take place for sometime.

Are we looking at a year?

Five years?

[laughter around table]

This wine we're drinking, Nerello,

it's from Mount Etna.

It's my favorite wine,
grown on the side of a volcano.

But, what is it about this wine
that makes it so special?

Is it the grape, or the vintner,
or is it... the climate?

No, it's the soil.

The product of dozens, hundreds
of eruptions over thousands of years,

constantly transforming
the chemical and mineral makeup

of that soil.

And yet, after all that turbulence
and upheaval,

after that violence and destruction,

nature leaves us...
with a beautiful and delicious gift.

The timing, the location...

were crucial.

The next cataclysmic disaster...
is right around the corner.

And the only way
to ensure our survival...

is to slingshot past the event.

A select group of... volunteers,

all true believers,

will be put into cryogenic pods,
housed in this very facility,

where we will sleep,

for 2,000 years.

When we awake,
all our algorithms tell us...

the threat... will have passed,

and we will build our Utopia.

Your Utopia.

[Megan] The Earth... will be ready
to begin again.

[David] Now, Rebecca,

I'm sure you have hundreds,
thousands of questions

about all of this.

We'll be happy to elucidate you
on the details,

but... I thought it was important
at this stage to...

to bring you up to speed.

It is my hope that you will be
my partner and collaborator,

as we witness
the birth of this new world.

I... Uh...

This is a... It's lot to absorb.

[David chuckles]

Uh... Of course, I'm honored
to be a part of this.

And I can't wait.

And this is a...

It's a very bold plan, it's amazing.

[Theo] Hey, how did it all go?

I can't.

Beck, tell me.

What if you made an error of judgment?

What if, okay, just bear with me,

what if you made a mistake,

and you couldn't find a way out of it?

He's not for real, is he?

I wish he wasn't.

[Theo] I was worried that something
like this could happen.

[Rebecca] I just wish I'd never
gotten involved with this.

I just feel like such a failure.

[Theo] You haven't failed.

Just tell them you're out.

They come after you, fine,
I'll take care of it.

[cell phone ringing]

Hospital.

I gotta go back.

We are going to get through this.

We are.

[Theresa] I had a dream last night.

I went back,

and I walked into the house
and Ben was there.

And he ran...
right into my arms and...

Ethan was really upset,

but he was happy that I was home.

There is nothing left for me
inside that fence.

Theresa.

You weren't supposed to follow him.

I could have taken care of you,

but you ended up here.

You and Ben.

[crying] And I had to follow you.

Adam, what are you saying?

I wanted Ethan gone.

I know it was wrong.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I was in the procreation room,

with Meadow.

I couldn't get past K.

I wasn't into it.

That happens.

Meadow, Ashley.

I mean, I wasn't into it.

No, I mean, [stammers]
I don't know they...

They put you in this crazy room

and you have to remember
all these steps, you know.

[stammers] Do you think that's it,
that I just forgot some of the steps?

I mean, [stammers]
I don't know if there's...

You think maybe you're gay?

I'm not gay at all.

I'm like, the opposite of gay.

Feeling very un-gay right now.

The word doesn't just mean happy.

Has no one ever discussed this
with you?

Discussed what?

Same sex attraction.

Doctor, please.

There is nothing wrong with you.

I'm just gonna tell them, you have
to give me [stammers] something.

Can you give me something, a pill
or some kind of treatment?

- Just calm down.
- No, please!

Look...

[gasps]

Can you tell them
that I'll do it again next time,

and I'll remember all the steps,
I'll do everything, I promise.

- Frank, you don't need anything.
- There are rules.

Okay? I have to reproduce,
it's my glorious obligation.

But if I'm sick and they find out
that I can't do it...

they'll kill me.

I won't let that happen.

Rebecca?

Tell him.

Why are you here?

Tell him.

Xander and I are married.

He's my husband.

I was kidnapped,

and put to sleep.

When I woke up, you weren't here.

I was all alone in this mess.

I didn't know
what to make of this place,

how to survive in this town.

I thought you were dead.

So you marry him?

They match people together, we don't--

Hey, stop talking.

How long?

One year.

But we haven't been together
for six months now.

Oh,jeez.

[Rebecca]
Theo, please try to understand.

[Theo] What?

That you married another man
while I was a Popsicle?

Or that you've lied to me
since the moment I woke up?

I haven't been lying.

I just didn't want to overwhelm you.

But you dragged me into the bed
that you shared with him.

This is not her fault, man.

[grunting]

Theo!

Oh, God.

You all right?

[door opens]

[Frank] So, this is where you hide.

You're not gonna jump off, are you?

Very funny.

Do you ever wonder what's out there?

All the time.

They tell us not to think about it.

And I try not to think about it.

But sometimes I see it in my dreams.

Where no one's telling us
what to do all our lives.

Where I'm not going to spend
the rest of my life

washing people's hair.

Hey, at least you have a job.

I'm still unassigned.

You're lucky.

I doubt it.

I'm sorry, Luce.

I know.

I'm having a really hard time
right now.

I'll protect you, Frank.

You're my kid sister.

I think I'm supposed to be
protecting you.

I'll protect you.

Thank you.

[growls]

[Megan] Don't worry,
no more tests for now.

They haven't taught us
anything yet anyway.

And I guess we'll see what surprises

a certain someone has in store
for us both tomorrow morning.

We were never supposed to meet.

Did you know that?

Pilcher thought we would wake up,

and, yes, you would've been here
but you would be gone.

And the Earth would
belong to us again.

I remember waking up
on a gurney in a hospital,

after I'd been attacked,

and trampled,

and left for dead.

Before my husband died,

he tried
to put me back together again.

I miss him.

You see, I still can feel some things.

Why am I talking to you?
You can't understand me, can you?

You're just an animal.

Aren't you, Margaret?

[crickets chirping]

[Adam] I can go.

No, it's fine.

I was remembering the day
that Ben was born.

How he came out...

screaming.

And he looked right at me,

and he took his little tiny...

palm and he just smacked me
right in the cheek.

[chuckles]

It was the first thing he did.

I can't stop thinking about him,
being out here alone and so scared.

[sniffles]

No mother should ever
have to outlive her child.

[sighs]

I know why you don't want to return
to Wayward Pines.

You're out here
'cause you want to die.

And I've been there.

Every day, I would just say,
"This is it, this is how it ends."

But I made peace with it.

I don't have any more questions.

I said everything that I was meant
to say in coming back.

I just want you to forgive me.

We're all out here, stuck together.

I can talk to you, I can do that.

But I will never ever
be able to forgive you.

Rebecca Yedlin.

Hi.

I'm Xander.

[glass sliding on table]

I need you to come with me.

I don't understand.

I know.

It's all very confusing.

You were knocked unconscious
during the storm.

It'll all make sense soon. I promise.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

No.

[yelling]

[abbies roaring]

[growling]
