Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 6 - City Upon a Hill - full transcript

[narrator] It is the year 4032.

Man's destruction
of the environment has created

evolutionary aberrations
known as Abbies,

[screeching]

That rule the Earth.

[screaming]

One man saw the catastrophe coming.

He created an ark for mankind

and selected a chosen few to sleep
for 2000 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...

We'll protect the harvesters.

What about the Abbies?

We have never used fire
on them before.

Don't know
what they understand about it.

Well, tonight they'll learn.

Use the flame throwers!

[screaming]

Finally reached the city.

[Jason] Pilcher sent a dozen nomads
out beyond the fence

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

You knew all along.
You were working with Pilcher.



- I wanna call it off.
- It's done, Adam.

My family is all gone because of you.

Tell him.

Xander and I are married.
He's my husband.

I heard you caught one
of those creatures

in the middle of town.

[Kerry] It's the first female
we've ever seen.

[Megan] As with any species,
they're different.

They're not just dumb animals.

There's a method to them,

if you can survive long enough
to learn it.

[gun firing]

[man on radio]
We've cleared the valley, sir.

We are commencing the ground sweep
to confirm our perimeter is secure.

[man] Clear!

The area's secure, sir. We can now
begin construction on the fence.

[growling]

We should have a baby.

You and l.

Really?

You're ready to do that with me?

Well, we've encouraged
the first generation

to procreate enthusiastically.

[giggles]

I think we're ready to set an example.

A son to lead.

Or a daughter.

Ora son.

One of both.

Four of both.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Just a lot on my mind, same as you.

It's okay to have hope.

- We're doing well.
- The town?

There's still the problem
with the rust and the water line and--

I'm talking about us, Kerry.

We make a great team.

I knew you were the right choice.

[blues music playing]

So, what will it be?

Well... I tried your beer
which is revolting.

The whole celery soda thing,
I don't know what that is, so...

Your choice.

How about that?

Distilled from pure Kentucky water,
really?

Where did you get this?

- Hassler drag it back in?
{bartender chuckles]

It is a very nice label.

Unfortunately what's inside of it,
we brewed two weeks ago, in the woods.

[chuckles]

[chuckles] Sorry.

- You know what this place needs?
- Hmm?

A town drunk.

Job's open.

I did look for you, Theo.

I did what I could to find you.

I'm here because I know
you have questions.

I'm tired of secrets.

Did you try to have a baby?

[siren wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

[phone ringing]

[growling]

[growling]

Everybody up, we gotta go now!

Leave everything behind,
there's no time!

[indistinct chatter]

[whistling]

"Oh, my God!
- Let's go! Let's go!

Now! Now!

[woman] Help us!

[growling]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Theresa.

[woman over PA] Attention,
citizens of Wayward Pines,

a" able-bodied men,

please report
to the fire station immediately.

[keyboard clacking]

[beeping]

[Abby screaming]

[growling]

[shrieking]

[theme music playing]

Hey, what's happening?

The crops, they're on fire.

- On fire, how?
- We don't know what happened.

- We're going out there.
- Who's going out there?

Anyone who can.

[indistinct chatter]

[siren wailing]

You should get to the hospital.

I'll meet you there
and I'll see what I can do here.

You should go.

[Kerry] Dr. Yedlin, we need your help,
can you come with me now?

They're back, aren't they?

We've seen some of them
out there, yes.

Why are you sending civilians?

Soldiers to fight the Abbies,
civilians to fight the fires.

- It's not the same thing.
- Well, they'll die the same.

Should we just let the crops burn?

If we lose the food,
then we're all dead.

What about the explorers,
CJ, the trucks?

We lost contact with them
ten minutes ago.

We need you at the hospital right now.

[woman over PA]
Attentian, citizens of Wayward Pines,

a" able-bodied men,

please report
to the fire station immediately.

We should think about...

- You're going out there?
- We need guns.

- To fight against them?
- No. To defend ourselves,

against whatever's out there.

Can you get us in?

The mountain? Xander.

Look, I'm not trying to drag you
into something again.

I'm just trying to avoid a slaughter.

I've worked with Jason,
and I don't trust him.

We lose those crops,
we lose everything!

[indistinct chatter]

All right, we gotta get this out!
Let's get the hoses over here!

[indistinct chatter]

[Abbies growling]

[shrieking]

[gun firing]

We brought tape, all the gauze,
saline, the sutures, the OR is ready.

They told us to prepare 20 beds.

Are we really expecting
20 patients all at once?

We'll need more, discharge some more.

- More than 20?
- We don't have any tags.

What?

Triage tags. Get some markers,
we'll write on their forearms.

Hey, everybody.

Ev--

Stop, stop.

Listen to me.

I'll triage as they arrive
and I'll assign them out.

Letters for each color. G is green.
Green is minor.

Yellow can wait. Red is immediate.
Black, deceased.

Do not let them self-evaluate.
Listen to what I say and be calm.

Look, I want you to know
where everything is, right now.

Because I don't want any supply runs

when I've got someone going asystole
on my table.

We're gonna offer the best care
to the most that we can.

We can do this.

Come here.

Can I just say, sir, there's no one
I'd rather be in a mass casualty--

- Shut up, Oscar.
- Yes, sir.

[Abbies growling]

[soldier screaming]

[moaning in pain]

[man screaming]

[man screaming]

More suction.

All right, he's good, suture him up.

Next!

[indistinct chatter]

- He's gone.
- These are bite marks.

[man] More coming' in!

Move! We need more stretchers
out here!

I'm okay.

The Abbies got past us to the crops.

Try and help her!

Yellow. Stop the bleeding
in his shoulder.

She's hypotensive and tachycardia.

Get her an IV bag.
Ampicilin. Two grams.

We just used the last bag. I looked.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Okay, breathe.

Slowly, slowly.

Her stats are dropping.

[rapid beeping]

Theresa, your name is Theresa, right?

Look at me, my name is Theo,
I need you to look at me right now.

You have a collapsed lung, that's why
you're having trouble breathing.

- Dr. Yedlin!
- I'm gonna get you through this!

I'm not gonna leave you, okay?

- Dr. Yedlin.
- You got it.

I need your help!

Slow, breathe in and out.

In, out, good, I'm not leaving you.

There you go.
I have to insert this in your chest,

it's gonna hurt,
but it's gonna let you breathe.

Are you ready?

[gasping]

[gasping]

- Dr. Yedlin.
- That's better.

Dr. Yedlin!

Why aren't the first generation
patients being prioritized?

They are if they are dying.

[man screaming]

The femoral artery, I can't find it!

Clamp it on.

I'm trying, there's too much blood.
Dr. Yedlin, I need you to do this.

I can't, my hand is
in a patient right now.

You can do it.

Put pressure on the thigh
and have your fingers find the artery.

Dig your fingers in there.

[screaming]

Yes, I think I found it.

Bring the clamp in, don't take your
fingers off until it's fully clamped.

I got it.

His heart rate is coming down.

[beeping]

[man grunting]

[Kerry] No one could've predicted
what happened tonight.

I should've been able to predict it.

That the fields would burn?

How could you know that?

It's an impossible situation.

If I can't trust my own instincts,

rely on what Pilcher taught me,
what good am I?

I should have had us more prepared.

You did prepare us,

by planting them in the first place.

'Cause nothing would grow
in Wayward Pines.

Why is that, Kerry?

What's wrong with the soil here?

Why didn't Pilcher account for it?

What did we do to it?

And what does it tell us
if we have to die

to get the food we need to survive?

Who the hell are you?

Because I thought you were
the man born to lead this town.

Trained by Pilcher himself to usher
mankind into the next generation...

Kerry.

But that is not who I see
in front of me right now.

Because what I see... is weakness.

And fear.

Are you the man born to lead?

Yes.

Then act like it.

And never let them see you doubting,

Even if you do.

Dr. Yedlin, hey.

I was out there with the firefighters.

One of them got a piece of me.

How's your jaw?

Well, it hurts to smile.
Was that the point?

One of them.

Hey, I left our wife in your office.

She actually saved
some lives too, tonight.

But I'll let her tell you
all about it.

Since everything's out
in the open now.

Oh, and Doc, the first one's free
but the next one's gonna cost you.

You still have feelings for him?

Our marriage was like all the others
in Wayward Pines at first.

There were rules.
There was surveillance.

We were no more than cell-mates.

I chose you
before any of this happened.

[footsteps approaching]

Dr. Yedlin, we need you.

[Theo] That's not an answer.

[breathing heavily]

Okay, just... try not to move
too much.

Are you a doctor here?

Chief Resident, yes.

Dr. Yedlin called on me
earlier tonight

to perform a femoral artery clamp.

- Theresa.
- Who?

Theresa Burke.

You should get some rest.

Is she dead?

I can't really discuss that.

Is she...

Just tell me.

I mean that... You have to be family.

[CJ] The Abbies were targeting
any man with a hose.

Their goal clearly was to stop us
from saving the crops.

You're saying the Abbies knew
what the men were doing

and targeted them?

[Megan] I'm sure it was
very confusing out there, Mario.

- In the dark, the heat of the battle--
- I know what I saw, ma'am.

As I watched my men die.

How many troops do we have left?

We lost half of the men, sir.
We have less than 20 soldiers left.

Perhaps we should reconsider

recruiting so heavily
from the first generation.

We'll recruit more of them.

It's an honor to serve
against a real enemy.

Our real enemy already did
what they came to do.

Attack our food source.

Sorry, you make it sound
as if the Abbies had a plan.

They set fires at the corners
so that it would spread faster.

The Abbies never used fire
as a weapon before.

Not in all the years we've been here.

Until we used it against them
to harvest the crops.

We taught them.

And tonight they learned.

Stop talking about them
as though they're human.

When the fields were on fire,
Margaret was calm,

but the males in the lab became
highly aggressive,

as if they knew what was happening.

- So, if they did have a plan--
- They had no plan!

The crops, tell me.

The flame took the plants
down to the root.

The Earth is scorched.

Replanting on that ground will take
months, if the Abbies even let us.

So we only have the food
that's currently in the storehouse.

[Jason] No. Plant something
that grows quickly.

- It won't work.
- What are you saying?

That we will starve to death?

Every human on the planet
starves to death?

How long?

If nothing changes,

less than six weeks.

[Jason] Today, we mourn the loss
of 35 members of this town.

Thirty-five members of our species.

It's easy.

It's easy to wake up in the morning
and forget who we are.

It is easy to forget
that there are no more second chances

for humanity.

That this is it.

That we are it.

I'm told
that people used to tell stories.

Stories that mankind began
with only two people,

a man and a woman.

Now we number 1178.

So today, I believe,
that if we rose from two,

we can rise from this.

We are the hope of mankind.

We will survive.

For those lost,

and for the future.

[soldier] Present arms!

Ready! Aim! Fire!

[gunshot]

Ready! Aim! Fire!

[gunshot]

Ready! Aim! Fire! [gunshot]

[gunshot]

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Fellows, Wayward Vine?

We're collecting the weapons

that were commandeered
from the armory last night.

I need yours.

Commandeered?

No, no, I'm afraid I don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh, wait.

You mean the ones that we used
to save your asses,

you mean those weapons?

- Yeah.
-'Cause I do have one of those.

I won't discover
that you kept some for yourself?

No, I mean we got no food.

Abbies just killed a few dozen people.

We can't have citizens running around
able to defend themselves, can we?

That's your job.

You're doing great, by the way.

Toss the place, if you want.

You have a nice day.

Those shirts...

I always thought they were
an odd choice of color.

Brown.

Of course, I guess, all you first gens
aren't exactly up on your history.

Do not discuss the past and all that.

I know history. I know your history.

Crashed out of the marines,
drug dealer given a second chance,

Pilcher chose everyone for a reason.

Yours was resourcefulness.

But instead of using that skill

to ensure the preservation
of our species,

you use it to help yourself.

How is business, Xander?

You know where I could find any pills,
any extra rations?

People are scared about food

so I'm sure there's a nice profit
to be made.

I know who you used to be.

And history, I know it repeats itself.

Dr. Yedlin. How are the wounded?

Five are still critical.
Three, we just discharged today.

You're about to have a much bigger
problem and that's medication.

Steroids, antibiotics,
they're all dangerously low.

Seems like your Lord and Saviour,
Pilcher, did not bring enough,

nor did he make any provisions
to generate pharmaceuticals.

Now, I think I can probably synthesize

a very, very basic form
of penicillin in the lab--

Pilcher thought we would be treating
things like...

ear infection and strep throat.

He never anticipated that
we would have so many war injuries,

or that we would go through
so much medication so fast.

What did he anticipate?

How low are the supplies?

It's not an exaggeration to say that

people could soon be dying
of a sinus infection.

Tetanus certainly.

And if a major flu came,
it would have a devastating effect.

The food crisis,
we need to find a way forward.

A way of surviving the shortages.

With the Abbies in retreat
once again--

I'm afraid
that's no longer the case, sir.

In the last two hours,
the Abbies have re-entered the valley

outside the fence.

[beeping]

Roughly 100 in our whole territory
immediately outside our borders.

See, they learned from us.

They learned
that the fields were important,

they learned how to use fire,
they faked retreat,

ambush us and now they cut off
our escape.

Ambush, retreat, these are concepts
these things don't understand.

This is distracting us
from the problems we already have.

When are you gonna realize
that this is the problem?

Then what, Dr. Yedlin?
The Abbies should inherit the Earth?

You are here as a doctor,
not as a military advisor,

you'd do well to remember that.

How are we gonna survive?

[beeping]

- I was expecting Pilcher.
- He's busy, he sent me.

Don't worry, I walked
and I wasn't followed.

Would you even know if you were?

He said it was done and it is.

Ethan won't be a problem
for you or for us.

He belongs to the future.

And she's yours. You can have
the life you always wanted.

I heard you wanted
to call it off. Why?

I thought you loved her.

That doesn't make it right.

[woman] Alright, nice to see you.

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Anything else or is that it?

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

What is the matter with you?

You're gonna have to help me out here.

I saw you go into the alley.

Jason's already thrown you
outside the fence once.

Becca.

The guns, I understand
and I helped you with that.

But if you kept some,
or you stole more pills--

Apples.

Excuse me?

I gave him apples.

Dale and his wife have got
three little kids,

and I figured they could use the extra
food from the shop more than I could.

I'm keeping my head down.

If the world's gonna end,
I'm gonna go out strong.

We weren't nothing.

Becca.

I know we had our problems, but...

there were good times, too.
You know that.

People can change.

What they want and what they need,
it can change.

They don't want us
to be human in here but...

it happens.

Maybe you can ask your other husband
if he knows what I mean.

And maybe you can tell me
when I'm coming back home.

[beeping]

Theresa.

I'm so sorry.

You weren't supposed to follow Ethan.

I just wanted us to be together.

I'm so sorry that...
That I couldn't protect you.

That I... I couldn't save you.

[sobbing]

That I did save you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Happy Birthday, sweetie.

[long beep]

[dramatic music playing]

Dr. Yedlin.

[Abby growling]

I'm sorry we started without you.
I know you've been busy.

It's horrible what happened
outside the fence.

So many lives lost.

Well, now we're gonna starve to death.

Well...

That makes our work
that much more important.

What's the progress?

I am conducting an MRI

as per the very thorough
research guidelines you sent over.

With the crops gone
and the Abbies amassing outside,

we have to understand
why this one is so docile,

when the others all want to kill us.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, that's why I told you to do it.

Margaret holds the key,
I firmly believe that.

Still an animal... of course,

but there is something exquisite
about her.

Now what precisely are we looking for?

- I assume it is--
- Temporal gyrus.

Advanced thought and problem solving,
center of language for her brain.

I still have trouble with the notion

-that these creatures such as--
- Ah.

What is it?

The temporal gyrus for a chimp is
about a third the size of human's.

And hers appears to be
double the size of ours.

Do you think she can understand us?

L...

I have a spare bedroom at my place.

I mean...

I...

I wouldn't impose, I just...

thought maybe...

I'd give you your privacy.

You got any other pains
I should know about?

We were never close.

[Theo] I wanna ask you something.

You're the only one who has seen
how they live,

how they move.

Do they communicate in any way,
that you've seen?

I know they're largely violent,
but it seems that they have purpose.

We've done some preliminary tests
with the female.

- And it seems to me--
- Did you say female?

How do you know about the females?

They have one. Up in the mountain lab.

There's a female Abby in this town?

Her palm, does it have a mark?

A raised mark, it's like a brand.

Tell me.

[Abbies roaring in the distance]

[Abbies roaring in the distance]

[Abbies roaring in the distance]

[Abbies roaring]

[Abbies roaring]

[indistinct chatter]

[Abbies roaring in the distance]

[roaring]

[beeping]

[Abbies roaring in the distance]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[Abbies roaring in the distance]

We're safe, right, Dr. Yedlin?

[theme music playing]
