Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 9 - Walcott Prep - full transcript

[Jason Higgins]
Previously an Wayward Pines...

We should have a baby.

We found trauma.

Possibly from the creature attack,
possibly from something else.

- I can't have children.
- Are you sure?

[snarling]

They're surrounding us.
There are more of them every minute.

This experiment ends now.

[gunshot]

[screams]

Hey, think about it.



If you kill them, we all die!

[Dr. Theo Yedlin] She c0uld've escaped
two minutes ago or two hours ago.

She dug from outside until she
intercepted the drainage pipe.

They're gonna kill us all.

[waltz music playing]

[children chattering]

[ringing]

[woman] Abigail's a very good girl.
An excellent girl.

Father's a senator.

Mother runs a charitable organization,

they'd like this handled
quickly and quietly.

She okay playing badminton?

It's a very low impact sport.

Best to keep up appearances
for now. She's not even three months.



There. The blond.

And the father?

All American lacrosse player.
At Chamberlain last year.

He's at Harvard now.

And the child will come in December?

- Yes.
- Good.

At the end of the year,
l'm planning a long trip.

It'd be good for him
to be settled by then.

Timing is everything, isn't it?

[theme music playing]

There could be thousands
or even more of them.

What are they gathering for?

Looks like Margaret.

She might be back
with the other females, but...

You should see this.

She might be dying.

She's not their only female.

If she was their leader
and she does die,

they'll pick another one,

like if we blow up the tunnels
they'll dig another one.

If she is dying,
it might buy us more time.

How much more time, Kerry?

There's only one way out.

Get CJ and Dr. Yedlin.

Come on.

She made her choice, pal.

I don't need
another one of your lectures.

That's not why l'm here.
l'm past that.

Congratulations.

You can invite me
to your anniversary party.

Baby shower.

Look, I don't know
how much time we have left.

It could be days, it could be hours,
but whatever it is,

l'm not gonna live it
with that kid in charge.

So what I need to know...
is where you stand.

- I don't matter.
- No, you don't, at all.

But I want this to go smoothly.
You can help with that.

But l'm doing this
with or without you.

I won't be a problem.

But I don't exactly
understand the plan.

Theyjust got
their leader back, right?

There's a million of them out there,
that's what everyone thinks.

They can dig tunnels,
they can make ladders.

It's not a question of ifanymore,
it's a question of when.

So l'll support you.
Regime change, yeah, l'm all for it.

But what is the plan, Theo?

Do you have some secret strategy,
some magic pill to cure the disease,

to make all our problems go away?

Or is this just about your tombstone
and writing something different on it?

Dr. Yedlin.

He wants to see us in the mountain.

We have food for a month.

We don't have medicine
if people get sick.

There are thousands of them
right outside the fence.

And now that they have
their leader back,

they could attack us at any moment.

We could accept our fate.

Tell the people of Wayward Pines.

Give them a chance
to get their affairs in order.

Cling to each other. Say their
goodbyes. Await the inevitable.

Or we can fight them.

There's one advantage we still have.

Pilcher.

He believed.

They brought us all here in the
first place because of that belief.

Wrong amount of time, the right idea.

The pods?

We're gonna return here
to the mountain

where we were all reborn

as quickly as possible.

No.

We'll go back to sleep, all of us.

Three years.

We tried the old fashioned way
so many times.

It was my fault, it was her fault,
who knows?

Nowadays, of course,
when nature fails,

there's so many new methods.

It makes you yearn for an earlier age.

So here I am.

Alone.

You see, I want to leave a legacy.

Not of wealth or of titles.

A legacy of service
and future leadership.

A legacy of love.

Unconditional love.

For humanity.

Hello, Abigail.

You're older than I thought.

How are you feeling?

I mean,

it's hard to get around and all.

And my interview
at Princeton's on hold.

But l'm handling it.

- Animal Farm?
- Yea h.

Senior year, summer reading.
They're making us.

Well, there's worse things
you could be made to do.

"Up there, comrades.

Up there, just on the other side
of that dark cloud that you can see,

there it lies, Sugarcandy Mountain.

That happy country
where we poor animals

shall rest forever from our labors."

"The creatures outside looked
from pig to man,

and from man to pig,
and from pig to man again,

but it was already impossible to say
which was which."

Well, yes, but it's actually
quite idealistic.

At the beginning.

Did you finish it?

Sometimes rules are good.
Essential even.

- It's an allegory.
- So it doesn't mean anything?

Maybe 20 years ago it did
or 20 years from now,

20,000 years from now, but...

this doesn't describe my world.

Not yet.

Well...

It was good to meet you, Abigail.

Thank you for your time.

Jason.

That's what I call him.

[telephones ringing]

[indistinct chattering]

Good m 0min g.

As leader of this town,
I've been many things.

But I've strived to be
one thing above all.

Honest.

I've been honest to you
about what this place is.

Where we are, who we are,
andl'm gonna be honest with you now.

Our enemy has moved close,

in numbers we've never seen before.

And we don't know
what they 're planning.

But we ha ve to assume the worst,

that an in vasian is imminent.

And so we need to begin
immediate evacuation

of Wayward Pines
for your own protection.

Fortuna tely, there is a plan in place.

Shortly after this m eating is 0 ver,

we will begin the process ofmoving
the residents of Wayward Pines

back to the mountain

where we will g0 back to sleep
until the Abby threat is contained.

It 's safe, it's safe,
it's all very safe.

Andit's the only way.

For how long?

A hundred years?
A hundred thousand years?

That is still being decided, ma 'am.

And then what happens?

We should go to the mountain now!

Illa.

There 's aver a thousand of you.
We 'llneed an orderly system.

S0 please g0 home
and wait for instructions.

We will come for you.

lt took Pilcher and his scientists
decades to perfect the process.

But with the volcanic sun
and the use of sulfur gas

to kill the bacteria,
it's all very safe.

- So you're dead when you're in it?
- Not dead.

We turn you off.
So we can turn you back on again.

And l'll be there to make sure
you're safe, your sister,

everyone, every step of the way.

I know it seems strange
to some of you.

You were born here.

You've never known anything
but Wayward Pines.

But l've spent more time
in and out of these pods

than any of you. Even Pilcher.

You sleep, awake, awake, asleep.

And look at me,
l'm not damaged at all, am l?

[children mumbling]

Do you dream?

Sometimes.

[dramatic music playing]

We have a problem.

- We ran a few tests this morning.
- And?

And we're ready to go.

We even have a few empty pods
if you have any last minute ideas.

Ten days to spare.
Thank you, Christopher.

And have we decided
on the exact positions?

-[phone rings]
- Oh, excuse me.

Hello.

Speaking.

[woman] Abigail has run
into camplica tians.

What do you mean?

[woma n] Abigail went into labor early.

It wasn'ta smooth delivery.

When?

Last night.

Baby didn 't make it, but we 're

very happy that we
were able to sa ve her.

Of course.

We 'll be in touch.

Of course.

L'm glad she's okay.

Please give my best regards
to Abigail and her parents.

G0 vern or, we 're sorry.

So should we move up the departure
or stick with the current schedule?

David?

We still have a few days.

He was the bridge.

He was perfect.

L'm sorry.

All children are perfect.
Only if we can teach them well.

You can find another one.

L'm running out of time.

You sure about this?

The empty pods have to be charged.

We tripled the voltage of the fence.

We've been running the superstructure,
this entire town off the core reactor.

Nothing's been funneled here.

So they're not charged at all.

Some of them are.

While some of them
don't have the energy we'll need.

We put people in them into suspension,

they won't survive.

Why didn't you check this?

We made an announcement.

I started to test as soon as I could.

How many do we have?

How many pods are actually working?
How many lives can I save?

Five hundred seventy-one.

Hi.

We're ready.

Excuse me?

We're ready to go back to sleep.

Go home, we'll come get you
when it's time.

That's okay, we'll wait here.

Dr. Yedlin.

Trying to find in all these piles a
shred of something that's gonna help.

May I ask you something?
Have you even thought about

how long you want to put
everyone to sleep?

Or you just spin a dial
and see what happens?

Dr. Yedlin, I need you
to stop what you're doing

and I need you to do something else.

I need basic medical assessments
of the people in Wayward Pines.

- Physicals?
- Yes.

Just review the files that you have.

Of everyone in this town?

Look for preexisting conditions.

Maybe a simple score
of one to five, something like that.

L'll need it in the next few hours.

Do the best you can.

We can't start the evacuation
without it.

You can't take everyone, can you?

You want to know
what kind of shape they're in

so you can decide who you take
and who you can leave behind to die.

Not all the pods are working.

We won't be able to take everyone,
we can only take just over half.

Only you and CJ know.

I need to make selections.

No.

Has to be a lottery.

It's the only fair and ethical choice.

There are people
who are essential, doctor.

Like you, for example.

What if we did a lottery
and you were left behind?

Then I would accept it.

It harms the greater good.

We'll take
all the first generation, of course.

But we need people
with valuable skills.

Skills that we can use
to rebuild civilization.

No trouble makers, no defectives.

Yes.

Well, if it's so simple,
then you're not gonna need my help.

L'm not saying
this is fun, Dr. Yedlin.

Are all the first generation,
are they valuable

because they're young, their youth?

Or do you judge them
on their intellect?

Physical ability, their size?

No trouble makers, no, sir.

If you'd like to form a committee
and submit a report in three months,

be my guest.
We'll all be dead by then.

'Cause in the meantime,
l'll make the decisions myself.

Defectives.

Forget the defectives.

And I suppose you mean by that

the physically disabled,
the mentally diminished.

I guess in your calculus
that's the easiest call to make.

Of course,

if someone is unwilling
or unable to reproduce

certainly they're a defective.

Isn't that simple, right?
That's black and white.

You can or you can't.

Unless, of course, that defective
is someone you love.

You know Pilcher wouldn't take her.

She can't fulfill
her grand obligation.

You would leave her here to die.

But perhaps her death won't be
so painful.

[dramatic music playing]

Rebecca asked to see you.

She's completed the inventory
of the building supplies

and has some rough projections

about what might be out there
when we wake up.

Great.

Everything okay?

- Any luck?
- Not yet.

Kerry.

There's a problem with the pods.

We can only take
roughly half the people.

He's going to make the selections
right now.

L'll go talk to him.

We should start the evacuation
as planned.

Then we'll just stop at some point.

Secure the entrance to the mountain
and that's that.

You will just do
whatever it takes, won't you?

- What good does telling everyone do?
- Maybe they should know the truth.

The truth? What good has truth done
anyone here?

It's life or death, Doctor.

He's not taking defectives.

He said that?

- Did he--
- I tried to tell him

how valuable you are,
but you know him.

He just doesn't listen, does he?

He's giving you a death sentence.
You can't sit still for that.

- L'm sure I can find a way.
- Take him out.

I can't do that.

Iwon't.

Sad irony of Wayward Pines.

You starve to death
or you get eaten alive.

He loves me.

He loves Pilcher more.

There'll still be
some foundations left

to help us give the town
some sort ofa layout.

But there will be
a hundred other variables.

For instance, climate change
and the evolution of creatures.

Are you all right, Jason?

L'm sorry.

Ijust got a lot on my mind.

Of course.

Getting everyone up here,
getting them all settled.

A thousand people
don't just move themselves.

I heard that you're expecting.

Yeah. That's right.

That's wonderful, Rebecca.

That really is the most important way
one can contribute, isn't it?

It's one of the ways.

It's an important one, of course,
but it's not the most important.

- But the rules say--
- Enough with the rules, Jason.

No one's pointing a gun to your head
and forcing you to do anything.

Sometimes you just have to do
what your heart tells you to.

You're right.

You do.

L'll finish this up
and come back later.

You should go home.

For a little while.

See him, say goodbye.

To the town.

[exhales]

Thank you, Rebecca.

Thank you
for giving birth to all this.

And for being such a productive member
of Wayward Pines.

Bye, Jason.

[baby crying]

[phone ringing]

The hospital appreciates
your generous donation, Doctor.

Obviously the needs
ofa public hospital are many,

so we can discuss naming rights

but there's also certain shortages
of basic equipment.

Whatever you feel is best.

- But, Dr. Pilcher--
- I need to get these papers signed.

Well, whatever's necessary
to get this thing done tonight.

Okay.

I just know that some of the members
of the board would like to--

I don't have any time.

L'm sorry.

It's on a bit ofa tight schedule.

I understand.

It's just that his mother
would like to meet you.

I know. I know, I promise
this won't take long

but she's young, she's giving up
everything, Doctor,

she'd just like to make sure
that her son will be in good hands.

She's asleep.

L'll come back later.

No, no, l'm awake.

[dramatic music playing]

[exhales]

Hello.

Hi.

David.

Kerry.

Feeling all right?

Yes.

Well, you know...

You probably thought l'd be younger.

Don't worry, I...

l'm just involved in a...

I won't be his father.

I won't be raising him.

There's a couple in Texas.

They're very excited.

I didn't really have
a thought on the matter,

which is surprising now
that I think about it.

Guess I was just focused on, you know,

being pregnant and giving birth thing.

You're not from Boise, are you?

Let me guess. Omaha?

Missoula?

Bet you own a bunch
of car dealerships or something.

L'm not from Boise.

It's my first time here, in fact.

Oh, you're lucky.

L'm from Scotch flats,
about 30 miles away.

Born and raised.

It's a small town,
you probably never heard of it.

Just a dot on a map.

If you run, they'll find you.

I only know
one small town around here.

Nancyville? They have the outlet mall.

Different one.

I hope you don't mind but,

the father?

- L'm sorry.
- No, it's fine.

L've known him since I was seven.

But I didn't really know him.

He hurt you?

No.

He tried to hurt me.

Like my step brother, like my father.

But I didn't let them.

Well, don't worry,
it wasn't either of them.

This may be Idaho,
but we're not that twisted.

Well, don't dwell on the past, Kerry.

Let's not even discuss it.

Important thing is that you're strong.

I can tell you're smart.

Street smart, they call it.

I don't know if l'm strong.

I know how to survive.

L'm not sure that's the same thing.

The strong do survive.

But the meek shall inherit the Earth.

I think that's still open to question.

Now about the money.

- We don't have to--
- No, no, no, it's important.

What do you plan to spend it on?

Istanbul.

The Grand Bazaar.

Hearing the call to prayer
at the Blue Mosque.

Or Bolivia. The salt flats.

Rain drops pulled back into the earth.

[siren blaring in background]

But first, Paris.

- Oh, my God, have you been?
- I have.

We were reading Proust,
do you know him?

It's kind of totally boring.
There's like twelve books

and he describes freakin' everything,
but when he gets it right,

it's just the bite ofa cookie
that started it all.

- The madeleine.
- Yes.

[mellow music playing]

I had to look up what that one was.

But then the memories.

They overwhelm him.

From simply the bite ofa madeleine.

Yes.

I wanna have memories like that.

To replace the ones I have.

First I need a life.

Maybe you'll have one.

Maybe even a different one.

You know maybe
l'll never get out of Idaho at all.

The past, you carry it with you
wherever you go.

No matter what you do.

You can't run from it.

You can't control it.

L'll always be me.

It's already been written.

The book of life.

Trust me.

You can be a different person.

Have a different life.

I don't believe that.

[suspenseful music playing]

What?

[door opens]

Hi.

You all right?

No. l'm not all right.

Our situation is difficult.

But we have a way out.

The Abbies are gathering, but we'll
get everyone to the mountain.

We'll sleep.

We'll all be safe.

Jason, what is it?

We won't be able to take everyone.

I can only take half.

We can't let them know.

We've to get the ones
that have been selected up here

to the mountain
as quickly as possible.

Just tell me what you need.

L'm glad that it's all
out in the open.

This is isn't easy, you know.

Every single person,

the choice of who to leave behind,

the fate that's in store for them.

It's difficult.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You're the person
I can share everything with.

There's no secrets between us,
complete trust, right?

Right.

Always.

That's why l'm wondering why
you didn't tell me.

Tell you what?

You had a child.

Dr. Yedlin said he wasn't sure
that that's for you...

So it's true?

The baby went to Texas.

It was 2000 years ago.

Pilcher wanted me.

He saw something in me. He chose me.

- What else haven't you told me?
- Nothing!

What else have you lied about?

Nothing. lt's who we are here now
that matters.

How do you know
the baby went to Texas?

What?

How do you know
the baby went to Texas?

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

- How do you know?
- Pilcher told me.

Jason, what is happening?
lam your partner in everything.

Talk to me.

[grunting]

[gunshot]

[Kerry Campbell] Thepast,
you carry it with you where ver you go.

Illa matter what you do.

You can 't run from it.

You can 't control it.

I'll always be me.

It's already been written.

The Book of Life.

[carousel music playing]

That's her.

She's just the sort of
strong partner I need.

[Jason Higgins]
lt's very nice to meet you.

L'm Jason Higgins.

L'm Jason Higgins.

Hi, l'm Jason Higgins.

Ah...

Kerry.

Kerry Campbell.

L'm Jason Higgins.

Hi.

It's very nice to meet you.

Where am l?

There was an accident in Chicago.

Chicago?

I know.

[stuttering]
L-l-look, I apologize.

L'm...

I know it's all very confusing.

It'll all make sense, soon. I promise.

L'm sorry.

[chuckles]

Wow.

Ah...

l'm sorry.

I don't usually do this part.

It's just...

You're so beautiful.

[sighs]

I wanted to be the first face you saw
when you woke up.

Take it easy, okay,
you've been out for a while.

How long?

We'll get to that.

There's time.

We've all the time in the world.

Tell me everything.

Iwill, Kerry.

L'll tell you everything.
l'll teach you everything.

Gonna be fine now.

You're safe.

You'll always be safe.

Trust me.

[breathing heavily]

Walcott Prep...

They taught you well.

[waltz music playing]

[growling]

[music continues]
