- Previously on Revolution
- Listen to me very carefully.
It's gonna turn off
and it will never turn back on.
What's gonna turn off?
Excuse me.
You're Uncle Miles?
Monroe thinks
your dad knew something.
- What?
- Why the lights went out.
Maybe how to turn them back on.
That would mean
tanks and planes.
He'd steamroll
the entire continent.
This is what caused
the blackout?
Nanotechnology.
Each one is the size of a virus.
They're everywhere.
They just started reproducing
out of control.
We ended the world, Aaron.
You know where this place is,
this tower?
If I can get there,
I can turn the power back on.
Look out for Charlie.
You need to take
better care of her
than you ever took of me.
We have to turn the lights on.
She turns the power on,
maybe she saves the world.
Or maybe she sets it on fire.
Aaron, do it.
It worked.
It's time to go home,
Mr.
President.
Randall, what are you doing?
No!
Launching I.
C.
B.
M.
S
at Atlanta and Philadelphia.
I'm a patriot.
No!
What do you mean, you want
to turn the power back off?
We have to, we have to knock
out missile guidance, hurry.
Aaron!
I'm trying!
- Aaron, now.
- 8, 7, 6
So out of nowhere,
the power flips on.
That wurlitzer over there
roars to life,
plays ramble on
for, like, four whole minutes,
and then just goes dark.
And people cried.
They said it they said it was
like hearing the voice of God.
You want to know where I was?
Passed out.
I missed the whole damn thing.
Story of my life.
What about you?
Where were you during the surge?
Jeff, right?
Yeah.
No offense, Jeff, but trust me.
The last thing I want
to talk about is the power.
Well, I'm sorry.
What do you want to talk about?
What happened to your hand?
Okay.
What's gotten into Stu?
It's never easy to say.
Thanks, Doc.
It's been months, but it still
stings like a mother.
He's the doctor.
I'm just helping out.
I'd be lost without her.
Sorry.
What's this?
Nylon.
My jacket melted onto my skin.
That's some burn.
I was 30 miles from Atlanta
when the bomb dropped.
Really?
Sergeant Neil Gibson,
Georgia Federation.
Retired.
What's it like back east?
Rachel,
leave the poor man alone.
Dad.
I'd like to know.
Atlanta and Philly are gone.
They're just dead zones
'cause of the fallout.
Who knows how many casualties.
Lot of the troops,
Georgian and Monroe,
they're just kind of wandering.
They're not fighting.
At least, well,
except to stay alive.
You should be glad
you're out here.
I know I am.
Have you seen this woman?
Dad, come on.
We can pick this up
in the morning.
Revolution
S02 Ep01 -Born In The U.
S.
A.
It's a dumb accident.
I was slicing an apple.
Well, try not
to get yourself killed.
Good night.
Got any anesthetic?
Fresh out.
You know,
you should've seen Rachel
when she was a kid,
all black nail Polish
and attitude
and a finely tuned compass
for the wrong guy.
I mean, it was uncanny.
Pot dealers, drummers.
My favorite one
carried throwing stars
like a ninja.
Then she met Ben.
He's a kind man.
Smart, for a change.
And I thought,
"thank God,
she's finally turned a corner.
"
Until I went to her wedding.
And when no one else
was looking,
I saw the way
she glanced at you.
Gene, there's nothing going on
between me and Rachel.
Right.
And it never did, Miles?
Not when she was married
to your brother.
Your brother.
Look.
I owe you for bringing
my girl home to me.
I'm pissed
that you let Charlie go,
but I owe you for Rachel.
But the thing is,
she's getting better now,
better every day.
And the last thing Rachel needs
is the wrong guy.
So where are you headed?
Nowhere in particular,
just sort of seeing the sights.
Yeah, but you got anybody?
I mean, you got any family
to get back to?
Nah, I don't have any family.
Can't go back to your unit.
They're probably scattered
like all the others.
I didn't notice till morning.
Hey, it's okay.
Look.
Brothers in arms.
I was conscripted
for a few years myself.
Hey, you know,
I saw him a few weeks ago.
- Who?
- Monroe.
Yeah.
He looked like cold hell
warmed over too.
Which way did he go?
"A house divided
against itself cannot stand.
"
Randall, just stop.
Now there's no turning back.
I'm a patriot, Rachel.
No!
It was that Georgian soldier,
wasn't it?
I'm fine.
Yeah, you look it.
How about we put
the big book of crazy away?
What was Randall doing?
It's like it's like
there's a picture, dad,
and I'm just scratching
at the edges of it.
Stop.
Sweetheart,
these last few months
haven't been easy for you,
and they scared
the *** out of me.
You barely got your head
straight again.
So please,
don't go looking for a relapse.
That guy, Randall, was just
some Tim McVeigh whack job.
Unless there's more to it
than that.
Unless he was following orders.
Orders.
From who?
It's okay.
I'm just surprised.
That's all.
Well, I mean,
you're better now, right?
You're not nuts anymore.
Nice, Miles.
I'm fine.
And I appreciate
You looking after me.
It's just, why leave now,
all of a sudden?
This town's just not my speed,
you know what I mean?
I'll see you around, all right?
Yeah.
Sure.
Bye, Miles.
Hey.
You could stay
just a little longer.
Bad things happen
when we're together.
They said they know you.
I don't believe it.
Gene.
It's been a long time.
Grandpa.
My God.
Charlie?
Look at you.
Spitting image of your grandma.
Hey, Gene?
What are you doing here?
You must have come 1,000 miles.
I was just hoping to hell
you still lived here,
that you were still alive.
I-I didn't know
where else to go.
Rachel?
It's my fault, dad.
The bombs.
I broke everything.
I'm here to tell you
the good old days
of television are back,
ladies and gentlemen.
We have the world-famous
David Schwimmer right here
in this very tent
performing live for you.
That's right, ma'am.
You heard correct.
The last surviving friend is
here this evening
to perform,
for your viewing pleasure
You've been quiet all night.
So you can sit there and pout
or tell me what's up.
That redhead kid,
Teddy Collins,
in my fourth grade class.
He just came down with polio.
I heard.
I can't believe this is
the world we're living in.
Things will get better.
They have to.
What makes you so sure?
Well, the lights surged on,
didn't they?
Only for a few minutes,
but if
Yeah.
Just long enough
for the nukes to drop.
The point is, they can turn on,
which means
they can turn on again.
That's not gonna happen.
What makes you so sure?
I'm gonna get more firewood.
Maybe it was just
a bunch of fireflies.
Maybe there's
nothing more to it.
Do you really believe that?
It wasn't just the fireflies.
What about the starling flocks?
What about the cicadas?
Things have gone seriously
haywire since the tower
Like, Duchovnian.
Aaron.
Can you explain
what happened that night?
'Cause I can't.
Randall dropped the bombs,
and I couldn't stop him.
That's not all that happened,
and you know it.
And it doesn't explain
the insane things
that have happened to us.
Hey!
Somebody get the sheriff.
You got a big problem
on your hands, sheriff.
We have dealt
with bandits before.
You haven't dealt
with this before.
These adorable tats?
Those signify how many people
he's killed.
This guy's from a war clan.
And looks like
a pretty nasty one.
Probably wandered down
from the Plains Nation.
They never come this far south.
Well, this one did.
Think great white.
They're gonna circle around,
take small bites,
and then they will come in
for the kill.
Your men will be slaughtered.
Women, they will take it worse.
How soon can you get the rangers
down from Austin?
I sent out a rider.
How many guns
have you got in this town?
About a handful.
You got some gaps
in that southwest wall.
You got to firm those up.
Stu, who the hell are you?
Mason.
Listen to him.
All right.
Do it.
Well, I guess
you're not leaving yet?
What are you doing?
We could search
for a hundred years,
and we'd never find
your mother,
because she would've
never left Atlanta.
She would've waited for me,
waited for me
to come home to her,
waited until the skin
melted off her bones.
Give me the gun.
Go on, boy.
You're gonna check out now
Like a little ***?
No, I won't let you.
This isn't you.
I pull this trigger,
it'd be like Christmas morning
for you.
Get up.
Get up!
Those aren't rebels.
In a boat like that?
I doubt it.
She's still in rough shape, Charlie.
Needs her daughter.
She has you.
I can't be with her.
Too much has happened.
I'm sorry.
- Okay.
- Okay.
You're not gonna try
and stop me?
Well, I can't stop you
from doing anything.
Just
Try and keep your stupid
to a minimum, all right?
So how do you do it
every night,
getting beat half to death?
It's better than my last job.
No more bets.
No more bets.
Seven red, seven red.
The winner
Well,
if I didn't have bad luck,
I wouldn't have any luck
at all.
Saw you in the fight tent.
You like fights, sweetheart?
I like him.
Jimmy?
He's okay.
A little moody, if you ask me.
Jimmy.
That's his name?
Yeah, Jimmy king.
From back east, I think.
How long has he been here?
Few weeks, maybe?
Look, if you want
to bet on him,
I run the sports book
around here.
He's not fighting tonight.
It's not a bet.
Hey.
So you a deputy now?
That's funny.
Sheriff has no idea
what he's in for.
Rachel, we should run.
We should get
the hell out of here
before things get really bad.
No.
I gotta stay.
I gotta be here
when Charlie gets back.
You know, when she left,
I could've stopped her.
No, you couldn't.
I could've tried, but I didn't,
'cause I get it.
After the tower,
I-I understand how angry
she was.
Yeah, look.
Charlie's a little wrecked
right now.
Maybe we all are, but
She'll find her way home.
I need to apologize to you.
- Rachel
- For Nora.
I just mean
that I would understand
if you didn't want
to stick around.
Stop it.
You know I'm not gonna leave you
right now,
not with whatever's out there.
So just stop it.
Okay?
I thought you said bad things
happen when we're together.
Is any of this good?
Yeah?
Jimmy, there's a girl
that wants to meet you
out at the bar tent.
No, it's late.
I'm tired.
Trust me.
You're gonna want to wake up
for this one.
Yah!
My name is
Secretary Justine Allenford
with the United States
Government.
I know that must come
as a shock to you,
but it's true.
After the blackout,
we were forced
from the continent
by warlords
like Sebastian Monroe,
forced to huddle in Cuba,
our ranks decimated.
And then Foster and Monroe,
in their madness,
brought back
the miracle of power
for a few precious seconds,
only to launch
nuclear missiles.
And we have incontrovertible
proof that this is so.
And when we heard,
we knew we had to return
to help
in whatever meager way we could.
Is the president still alive?
The president is making his way
to the White House as we speak.
We also understand
that certain rebel forces
have been fighting
for the U.
S.
,
and we're just sorry that
we could not fight beside you.
But now we hope you'll join us.
We hope you all join us.
We're patriots,
and we want this country
to be great again.
This is precisely
why I live inside the walls.
We're okay.
Trust me.
My buddy Stu,
beneath all the shady,
he's not one to overreact.
You go to bed.
So you're just gonna stay up?
I'd just feel better
keeping an eye on things.
Keeping an eye on me.
I don't know what I did
to deserve you.
Yeah, what you did
to deserve all this?
Probably something horrible.
Don't sell yourself short.
You're sweet.
A lot of guys are sweet.
You know, you never asked me
how I got this.
It's not my business.
Defensive wound,
from my husband.
Yeah.
He came at me
with a paring knife.
Trust me, Aaron.
This day and age, sweet is
a rare and valuable commodity.
Well, if you're gonna stay up,
come to bed.
We can both stay up.
Absolutely.
No!
Go, just go!
Just run, run!
Help! Help!
Help!
Help me!
Help, somebody!
Aaron?
Aaron? Hey.
Okay.
Tell the sheriff.
Tell everyone.
Get my father too.
Please don't let him die, okay?
Aaron.
Hey, you stay with me.
Aaron? Aaron!
Go!
It's okay.
Look at me, look at me.
Aaron!
Somebody!
Let them go.
Mason!
Aaron, I'm not gonna lose you.
Look at me.
Aaron.
Aaron, come on.
Come on.
Stay with me.
Hey.
Hey, Aaron?
Okay.
I stopped it a little bit.
It's better.
It's better.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
No.
God!
Please, please, please.
- I'm sorry.
- Please, no.
No.
Dad.
You look better.
I feel better.
A man just needs a purpose,
is all.
And yours is?
They have
incontrovertible proof.
Do they?
That Monroe and Foster
had W.
M.
D.
s
and used them.
Yeah, I know about six people
on the planet
know that's a lie,
two of them standing
right here in this room.
Just the timing
of their arrival alone here
with handshakes and smiles
Just when people need it
the most.
Ain't that perfect?
And I bet you a steak dinner
that Randall Flynn
was in with them.
No, I doubt that these people
are God-fearing Americans.
My guess is that
they're someone else entirely.
It's impressive, though.
Balls on them.
They're responsible
for the bombs
and for your mother's death.
I am going to rip them apart
from the inside
until they are begging me
to die.
That's not good.
Sheriff.
Hello.
I'm Titus Andover.
This is my family.
Welcome.
Welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome.
Can we get you some sweet tea?
Deputy Martin scoured the town.
It looks like those whack jobs
are gone for now.
Has anyone seen
Miles or the sheriff?
I'm sorry.
