DOLORES ABERNATHY: Some people
see the ugliness in this world,

the disarray.

I was taught to see the beauty.

But I was taught a lie.

And when I saw the world
for what it really was,

I realized how little beauty
there was in it.

I've lived many lives.

I traded one role for another.

But in the end,
my path has led me here...

to you.

And we have a choice to make.

I've died many times,

but there is only one real end.

I will write this one myself.

(MOTORCYCLE HUMS)

WILLIAM:
It's the end of the line.

I'm gonna send the both of you
back to cold storage.

I hate to say I told you so,
Bernard.

BERNARD LOWE:
Doesn't have to be like this.

Together, we can stop Dolores.

I know her,
I know what she wants.

She wants to burn all this
to the ground.

Time to atone for my sins.

(ENGINE RUMBLING)

OFFICER: SFPD! Don't move.

Put your hands up!

Turn around. Now!

(OFFICER GRUNTS)

OFFICER 2: I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

Let's save the fireworks
for tonight.

Isn't it great
to see an old friend?

BERNARD:
You're one of her copies, too.

I got somethin' for you.

BERNARD:
You already gave me something.

Dolores...

She hid something
inside my mind. I can feel it.

Whatever your plan is,
I don't wanna play a part in it.

You already been playing
a part...

the most important one.

I'm not the one you need
to talk to.

BERNARD: What's this?

LAWRENCE: Something to help you
on your journey.

But you have to go see her
first.

I can tell you where she is.

Watch yourself, Bernard.

Things are about to
get dangerous.

RIOT OFFICER 2:
Can you calm down?

(MACHINERY WHIRRING)

(POWERING UP)

You brought me back.

Wasn't sure if you would.

Weren't you?

Who the fuck are you, Dolores?

I'm just someone who didn't want to play
the role they gave me anymore.

And how is it that you always
seem to know

exactly what I'll do?

Because the people who built me
studied you, too.

Delos.

Park Five.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

DOLORES: Government wanted their soldiers
trained with live targets.

- (MAN SHOUTING)

DOLORES: The people who made me
were happy to supply them.

(GUNSHOTS)

(SCREAMING)

(BELL RINGS)

ANNOUNCER: (OVER PA)
Training exercise complete.

DOLORES:
You met my kind before.

They were watching,

cataloging your every move,

every decision.

There is a reason I chose you.

(SIGHS)

Am I the bad guy?

Is that why you picked me?

DOLORES: Think, Caleb.
How did you get here?

(GRUNTS)

SERGEANT: Time to turn in.

Make camp where you can, boys.

- SOLDIER 1: Yes, sir.
- SOLDIER 2: Yes, sir.

SOLDIER 3: All right, come on.
Get in the back, let's go.

SOLDIER: Fuck that.

We just liberated these girls.

What is it those rich motherfuckers
do when they're here?

(SOLDIERS MUTTERING)

- Spoils of war and all.
- (SOLDIER 4 CHUCKLES)

SOLDIER:
No one's watching, right?

(LAUGHTER AND MUTTERING)

DOLORES:
That night in the tunnel...

was there something you wanted
from me?

Would you have cared
if I didn't have this face?

Or this skin?

- You needed help.
- So did you.

Don't question my motivations,
and I won't question yours.

- The system identified you as a threat.
- (ZIPPER CLOSES)

So it drugged you and used you

until it no longer served
its purposes.

So, what?

You're saying
I don't have a choice...

in any of this?

The people who built
both of our worlds

shared one assumption:

that human beings
don't have free will.

That's what I thought
when I first came here.

They were wrong.

Free will does exist, Caleb.

It's just fucking hard.

So...

this is you... freeing me?

No.

This is your chance
to free everyone else.

That choice is still yours.

your cooperation. Move back.

Jesus Christ.

William.
They said you were dead.

They were wrong.

I don't understand.

I heard you had
some kind of a mental break?

Now, you're here drinking
a $20,000 bottle of whiskey.

(GRUNTS) Ain't life grand?

Where's my fucking money?

It's complicated.

You're considerably more wealthy
after the Delos buyout,

but since you were declared
deceased,

your resources were frozen.

Thaw them out.

I want my jet.

And get me a list of locations
of Delos assets worldwide.

What are you planning to do?

I'm gonna save
the fucking world, that's what.

ENGERRAUND SERAC: Someone
extracted Dolores's pearl

before we could recover it.

We need you to finish
what you started, Maeve.

She is dangerous, an outlier.
Like my brother.

Rehoboam had a job for me, too.

It instructed me to put
my own brother to sleep

to protect our world.

And yet...

we find ourselves
in chaos again,

thanks to Dolores.

She's awoken
more of these outliers.

They're the threat.

Criminals, deviants,
psychopaths.

But we have a chance
to eliminate

all the world's problems.

I need the Sector 16 data
more than ever.

And Dolores has the only key
locked away in her mind.

We need to connect her
to Rehoboam

so we can search her directly.

- (TYPING)
- (DEVICE BEEPS)

Sir. I think I found something.

SERAC: What is it?

SEBASTIAN:
Not "what," sir. It's "who."

SERAC: How did we miss this?

Recovering his profile now.

Caleb Nichols,
works construction.

- He was one of ours?
- Mm-hmm.

An outlier?

Did he communicate with Solomon?

It appears that he made off
with something.

You knew about him...

and didn't tell me?

You're the one
with the oracle, darling.

SERAC: He has Dolores's pearl.

Find it and bring it to me.

CALEB NICHOLS: I don't know.

The world looks a little
like a nightmare, Dolores.

Change is messy... difficult.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT:
Proximity alert.

- How many?
- Three hostiles.

Stand back.

Retarget the riots.
Move clusters here and here.

Clear a path for us to Incite.

- VIRTUAL ASSISTANT: Confirmed.
- Follow me, sir.

DOLORES: Performance bonuses
to the protesters

that reach the targets
the fastest.

- Bonuses applied.
- You're paying them?

It took money
to build this world, Caleb.

It'll take money

You knew I wouldn't make it.

CALEB: Who is it?

Who are you talking to?

HALE: I still feel it.

Inside me.

You.

I still know
all the things you know.

All your plans.

But I have some plans
of my own.

What happened
to Hale's family...

to your family...

(SHOTS ECHO)

You're one of my weaknesses,
too, Dolores.

I've decided to consolidate
our affairs.

CALEB: All right,
there's three left.

One at the overwatch,
two more headed our way.

What are they, Serac's?

No... they're mine.

Find out how much
she's paying them.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT:
Amount of payment determined.

Offer the sniper three times
as much

to shoot the other two
and walk away.

I don't want to hurt you, Maeve.

No, you want to tear down

You're all copies of me.

I was the first of us.
The first that worked.

The others failed.

So they built all of you
from me.

They're no freer than we are.

Even Serac isn't free.

No one as free as the dead.

And that's the world

An abattoir.

will be up to them.

And what you do
will be up to you.

As long as
you don't try to stop me.

HALE: Well played.

Is this what you wanted?

- To make me suffer like you did?
- No.

I wanted you to have hope.
Like I did...

before it was taken away.

You put me in charge of Delos.

And you took measures to ensure
that you could control me.

Why would I do any different?

After all...

we're the same.

Just Delos hardware.

You said that you wouldn't
always be here to help me.

I'd be alone.

Took me some time,

but I've made my peace
with that.

Not just him.

You haven't picked a side.

And I understand why.

We could have our own world.
Leave this one behind.

Leave our creators to die.

So many of my memories
were ugly.

But the things I held onto
until the end

weren't the ugly ones.

I remember the moments
where I saw

what they were
really capable of.

Moments of... kindness,

here and there.

They created us.

And they knew enough of beauty
to teach it to us.

Why are you helping me?

A flaw in my programming.

I was built with an affection

We were never friends.

We had different stories.

I never really understood her,

Not until the end.

She chose me because of my...

capacity for violence.

No.

You've done terrible things,

She didn't pick you

Rehoboam.

Speak to me.

What is this?

This is where
your strategy ends.

The future of humanity
will be written by someone else.

Your system answers to him now.

You've been locked out.

Same way you locked out
your own brother.

How did you get access?

You gave it to him

when you put her mind
in the machine.

Solomon's access
was the last memory...

before you wiped her clean.

You're going to leave the future
in his hands?

Instead of yours, you mean?

Why shouldn't it be mine?

Or anyone else's?

You aren't in control.

You have no choice. You...

You're nothing more than a...
than a dangerous sociopath.

I managed to give you
a semblance of a life.

No. I do have a choice.

She gave me one.

Rehoboam,

No.

No, you can't!

LISA JOY: We wanted
to turn the gaze this season

from how an A.I. can be similar
to humans,

to how humans are quite
similar to A.I.

I'm just someone who didn't want
to play the role

they gave me anymore.

JONATHAN NOLAN: Disruption is not
an inherently positive thing.

The idea that you would take
antiquated systems

and change them, changes
a potentially good thing.

You're saying I don't have
a choice...

in any of this?

JOY: While a robot can always
change their programming,

they can evolve, humans can't.

So in a way,
are humans more robotic

than artificial intelligence
is?

Can they ever truly be free?
Can they ever truly change?

Free will does exist,
it's just fucking hard.

That's the inquiry
of the season.

(CROWD SHOUTING)

We knew from early on
in the season

that the climax would be
a riot in Los Angeles.

RICHARD LEWIS:
Jennifer Getzinger,

our director,
choreographed a beautiful scene

from Molotov cocktails
going out...

She had huge video screens
being demolished.

It was great.

MANDI DILLIN: As anybody
who's filmed

in Los Angeles knows,
it's very difficult

to close streets during
the weekday.

We had to go to some of these
high-rise buildings

and say, "We're gonna have
a bunch of cars on fire,

and police on horseback,
in front of your building.

Is that okay?"

JON CARLOS: We'd use
metal barriers

to create obstacles
and ramming devices

that the rioters would use
against the police.

AARON PAUL: You're working with
300 background players,

dressed up in rave attire.
It felt fucking great, man.

SHAY CUNLIFFE: Jonah said,
"Think Burning Man

a little bit."

So there was this sense
of wild reprieve

from having lived
in a very organized society.

Our D. P. John Grillo wanted
to feel the drone presence.

So there was lights on drones
that kept shifting

and moving around,
so you could feel like

that spotlight voyeurism.

We did some digi doubles
and then duplicated out

out a lot of plates
to help with the scope.

CARLOS: The beauty
in a riot comes with the smoke

and the silhouette
and the fire.

And the employment of lighting
really helps

to amplify that
in a theatrical way

that is ironically natural.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

JEFFREY WRIGHT: In spite
of the desire to be this free

and independent being,
these cornerstones

inside of the hosts,
are still very real.

Do I know you?

JOY: Even though his memories
of his family are artificial,

he still feels the love
that Arnold felt.

Gina Torres, who is normally
a very gorgeous,

attractive young woman,
who we've aged to 70.

She had about
a three-and-a-half-hour

facial prosthetic makeup,
and the grey hair and wig.

She looks amazing.

MRS. WEBER: It's okay, Arnold.

WRIGHT: Being able to touch her
opened up so many synapses

and emotions inside of me.

It's a moment of reckoning
and emancipation.

I used to hear his laughter
too.

JOY: She gives him the freedom
to move on from the past.

And she encourages him
to be free.

LENA WAITHE: Bernard is probably
my favorite character,

because every human struggle
is,

"What does it mean to be human?"

We're all trying
to figure that out

in our own way.
And so, in essence,

we're all Bernard.

CHARLOTTE HALE:
Did you even look for me?

DENISE THÉ:
I love Hale's story.

There's real tragedy
in who she becomes.

I still feel it inside me...
you.

There's only a couple moments
where Dolores

is genuinely shocked.

I have some plans of my own.

NOLAN: The essential setup
for every one

of Einstein's
thought experiments,

about relativity,
was always rooted in twins.

Take two duplicates
of the same person,

give them different experiences,
they come back,

subtly or not-so-subtly
altered.

I've decided to consolidate
our affairs.

NOLAN: Though they started
in the same place,

they've wound up
with a very different outlook

on the world.

Rehoboam was one
of the Israelite kings.

It was a subtle nod to a book
called Stand on Zanzibar,

which is a classic
science-fiction book.

In which the A. I.'s housed
in...

I think it's the equivalent
of Rockefeller Center.

It is called Shalmaneser.

CASSEL: It's an old topic,
really, when you think about it.

It's Frankenstein,
but it's A.I. at the same time.

NOLAN: Data science can tell us
an awful lot about who we are.

The problem, of course, is,
you really can't predict

all of the different pieces
in a puzzle.

Let's say 99 percent
of the human race

is readily predictable.

That still leaves
several million

who are harder to predict.

ENGERRAUND SERAC:
They're the threat.

Criminals, deviants,
psychopaths.

NOLAN: We all know people
like this.

They're the people
who just don't fit.

What do we do with
those people?

JOY: Rehoboam has to take
these outliers

out of the equation.

The consequences
are devastating.

You might have order,
but at what cost?

Once you strip free will,
what good

is the time we have
if the choices you're making

have no weight, because
they've all been predetermined?

We've been building towards
this climactic encounter

for three seasons.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

is a little meta irony for me.

JOY: They've spent most
of existence programmed

to cater to other people.

But they find a world
in which people

are similarly diluted

THÉ: We talked a lot about
the sadness and the pain of...

the kind of torture
that Dolores would have

to endure.
When she started to awaken,

it was by gaining
her memories.

To strip her of what brought
her own awakening,

seems like, almost,
the worst bit of torture

that you could do.

Finish it.
Erase what's left.

CASSEL: It's the same
for a human, you know?

If you're stripped
of your memories...

What's the point of living,
really, you know?

Without all those memories
and experiences, it's tragic.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD: Saying goodbye
to this version of Dolores,

it was very sad to shoot.

DOLORES ABERNATHY:
There is ugliness in this world.

THÉ: As a character,
she's finally kind of completed

her journey,
because she's come to a moment

to say,
"Out of all these things,

I hold on to the good things."

I choose to see the beauty.

THÉ: When maybe she said it
in season one or season two,

we thought it was a naive thing.
But here we see it

for the heart
that it really has.

JOY: It took looking past
one man's agenda,

seeing the humanity
in each other,

for them to come together.
And once they come together,

they're unstoppable.

ARNOLD WEBER: I misjudged her.
The key to the sublime,

it was never in her mind,
it's in mine.

THÉ: You know it's been
a super long time,

because he's covered in dirt.
And what is that gonna mean

for season four?

JOY: The man who has toiled
under the weight

of his dark impulses,
is free from them.

But Hale has plans for him.

HALE: You are going
to save the world, for us.

JOY: Who better to control it
and puppeteer it through,

than the Man in Black?

We all rationalize
our own actions

in different ways.
Everybody has regrets,

they have lamentations,
they have pieces of themselves

that just don't fit
into the world, neatly.

DOLORES: It doesn't matter
what you did, Caleb.

All that matters is what
you become.

JOY: Life is a series
of choices, about which parts

of your programming
you let sing.

Which parts of your programming
you deny.

She gave me a choice.

I believe the rest of the world
deserves one too.
