Revolution

It's all and it is turn off.

And it will never turn back on.

There's this place.

It's called The Tower, and if I can get there,

I can turn the power back on for everybody.

We've been down here, guarding The Tower.

We have to turn the lights on!

If she turns the power on, maybe she saves the world...

Or maybe she sets it on fire.

Miles!

So you ready to settle this... Once and for all?

What the hell?

You first, prick.

Whoa!

Miles!

Miles!

So, um, how exactly could we destroy the human race?

You know what caused the blackout, Aaron?

A couple hundred quadrillion machines

sucking up all the electricity?

They're everywhere... In the air, in our blood.

What if Rachel gives the wrong command?

- What if they malfunction? - They're malfunctioning now.

They are replicating out of control. We need to shut them down.

They could rip our cells apart. They could ignite the air.

It's too risky.

We still don't know what went wrong the first time.

- Your friends are gone. - What do you mean, gone?

I mean they're gone. They're not in The Tower anymore.

You are our guests, Rachel.

But you try to get to level 12, try to get the power on,

and you're dead.

Sorry to keep you waiting, major.

- As you can see, I've been busy. - Tom...

You really think Monroe's gonna let you get away with that?

He doesn't have much say in the matter.

You're in charge of two things... Jack and squat.

A hundred men in the middle of Colorado?

That's nothing.

From an acorn, mighty oaks grow.

I'm gonna let you go, Mark.

- What? - I'm not the man Monroe is.

I'm neither brutal nor capricious.

Head home to your wife.

Maybe find a nice farm someplace quiet.

Get a horse for major Franklin.

You understand

I'm going to have to keep

your sidearm, of course.

That son of a bitch took a shot at me.

You try to be a nice guy.

1x20 The Dark T o wer

Hold your fire!

It's general Monroe.

Miles!

Well, Happy Birthday, bro.

- You remember your 21st? - Spring break.

Fort Lauderdale.

And that girl... The stripper with the leg...

With one leg.

- The one leg. - Yeah.

Her name was... Sierra.

- Yes. - Sierra.

- And she could move. - She could move.

I got one.

- Your ninth birthday. - My ninth?

Yeah, the infamous dodge ball party?

And I gave... I gave Brian Duffy a concussion.

That was one of your worst cakes ever.

Coconut is not so bad...

No way.

Um, Grace, can I have a word, please?

Uh, okay, so...

Granted, I was snooping on your computers, but, uh,

I found this code,

and it looks a lot... I mean a lot...

Like code that I wrote at MIT.

That's because it is your code.

The university sold it to the D.O.D.

- Did you know about this? - No.

What are you saying?

I'm saying you wrote The Tower's operating system.

Why do you think Ben found you in the first place?

Found me? No, no!

We just stumbled across each other in the woods, and...

I mean, if anything, I found him.

Sure you did.

What's this?

A little demolition project.

We don't know what's going on down there,

but we have to stop Rachel Matheson.

That woman cannot be allowed to turn the lights on.

- And why is that? - What, you really think

we should hand that kind of power over to Georgia

or the other republics?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's just, my head is spinning...

- From how quickly you switch sides. - Stop. You need to stop.

I need your help.

It's you and me, alone out here.

You're the only one I can trust.

I know what I've done to you.

I know how much you hate me.

But we gotta put that behind us.

Please, can you do that?

Whatever happens in there,

I want Charlie alive.

Her mother too.

Sir, I spotted general Monroe.

Three clicks out in the woods.

You wanted to see me?

Did I ever tell you about the day Danny was born?

He was almost three months early.

His lungs weren't formed.

He weighed barely 2 pounds,

so small, he fit in your hand.

Must have been awful.

Best day of my life.

I took one look at him...

I was head over heels.

They kept him in the NICU.

His odds...

Weren't even 50/50.

You should have seen me screaming at the doctors.

They were terrified of me.

I fought so hard for him.

I guess I haven't stopped fighting.

We have to stop the militia.

We have to set things right for him,

so he doesn't die for nothing.

You weren't the only one who lost a child.

That's why I am hoping you will understand.

You flip the switch,

it goes wrong...

We're all dead.

The chances are one in a billion.

I have faced worse odds.

Come on, please.

We are so close.

It's too dangerous.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'm sorry too.

Shh.

Okay. Let's go.

Morning, sunshine.

Thought you'd never wake up.

How long you been here?

Where else would I be?

- What happened? - Rebel bombing.

How you feeling, pal?

What do you mean? Rebels?

U.S. rebels.

We found an American flag on the ungrateful bastard.

They want to bring back the United States,

if you can believe that.

Come here. Take a look.

- I got it, I got it. - You all right?

Oh, yeah.

Who's that?

That is who almost killed you.

What, five guys bombed the restaurant?

No, no, just one.

The others are his wife and kids.

That son of a bitch wants to mess with my family,

I'm gonna mess with his.

We're gonna make an example out of him.

Check the stairwells

and we'll meet on the north side.

Rachel, you gotta see this.

Not now, Aaron.

I'm searching The Tower's code... my code...

I appreciate the straight-up theft,

- by the way... - Aaron.

When I designed it, I built a back door.

It was just for me, or so I thought,

but I looked, and the back door is open.

What back door?

It's a virtual back door.

It's symbolic...

Never mind.

When the blackout spread worldwide,

I don't think it was an accident.

I think someone did it on purpose.

Hey.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Where's Miles?

Where are you going?

Got more important things to do, Bass.

Rachel and Charlie are in trouble.

Turn around and fight me!

So we can keep kicking each other's asses?

For what?

Got your own problems, pal.

Your own men are shooting at you.

Don't you walk away from me!

You're the one who tried to kill me!

You're the one who started all of this,

and now you're walking away.

You know, I never saw it coming.

I woke up that night...
