"Have you ever been to Spring City, Oklahoma?" "It has to be important, or he wouldn't have said it." "Aaron, I just want you to know how sorry I am." "Don't apologize to me." "Apologize to her." "I am not going back to being some lame housewife, Tom." "There is a life that you promised me, and I have sacrificed a hell of a lot to get it." "Just so you know, once we get what we want," "I am going to take a knife, and I am going to gut that Chief of Staff husband of yours." "Sebastian:" "You took my son to Mexico?" " Afternoon, folks." " You're Connor?" " Who the hell are you?" " I'm your dad." "You are a Monroe." "You should be leading the Republic." "You and me." "Together, we can take it back." "I'm gonna have to take a rain check." " Mr. Nuñez wants to meet you." " Rachel:" "Let me guess... we're gonna get ourselves killed saving Monroe?" "Aren't you glad you came?" "Aaron:" "What the hell is going on?" "Why here?" "What does any of this mean?" "Aaron?" "Grace?" "Grace, what are you doing here?" "I live here, Aaron." "Alone." "Ever since the tower." "I've been trying to forget about all that, to tell you the truth." "Now, you want to tell me what you're doing here?" "I think I was sent here to find you." "Find me?" "This day just keeps getting weirder." "Come on." "She walked in late yesterday." "Said it took her more than a week to get here, then dropped like a stone from heatstroke." "Priscilla." "Aaron?" "You know her?" "She was my wife." "Sebastian:" "You're making a mistake." "You still trying to sell that?" "You and me are gonna be kings of the world, huh?" "Could've been if you didn't have your head crammed so firmly up your ass." "♪ ♪" "What'd he do?" "Didn't do his job." "I can't believe we have to rescue that son of a bitch." "I know." "I know." "Wow." "Your boss has really nice taste." "It's like Donald Trump threw up on Scarf ace." "Man:" "Connor..." "Sebastian Monroe." "It really is you standing here in my house." "It's an honor to meet you." "Yeah?" "I can imagine the thrill." "So, it's incredible." "Connor here is your blood." "That's right." "You know, I always knew he was special somehow." "I knew it from the first time I saw him." "Took him off the street, gave him a home..." "My home." "I practically raised him, and now look at him." "He's my right hand." "That's touching, really." "So, uh what are you gonna do with me?" "What do you think, Connor?" "What should we do with your dear old dad?" "I say... we sell him." "To the highest bidder." "Texas, Mexico..." "Someone's gonna pay a lot for his sorry ass." "What are they building?" "And why so fast?" "I don't know." "It's in the middle of nowhere." "It's all fenced in." "Options start at prison." "Only get worse from there." "Oh, no." "No." "No." "What?" "That's Lloyd Welliver." "He's a friend of mine." "A good friend." " We got to go get him." " Whoa." "That's an armed camp." "There are two of us." "How do you think we're gonna get in?" "Place that in the other room." "Thank you." "Tom:" "Ma'am?" "Congratulations on you and your husband's new position as Chief of Staff." "Compliments of Commander Allenford." "Please convey my thanks to the commander." "Here." "Thank you." "I was wondering if you had a chance to talk to your husband yet about my desire to join his security detail." "Well, it's just my first day, but when the time is right," " I'll..." " Time is right for what?" "Oh, nothing, dear." "Just a... social invitation from Commander Allenford." "Mmm." "Wait till you see the gift that we... well, you..." " received from the president." " Oh?" "Julia:" "It's a quill pen that once belonged to John Adams." " Hey, you got to take a look at this." " Not now." "Now." "Where the hell did you get this?" "Out of Allenford's room." "Look!" "Reeducation programs, same kind I was in... they're opening more." "Scranton, Pennsylvania," "Willoughby, Texas, Clearwater, Florida, everywhere." "Guess who's behind it." "My new stepdad, Doyle." "He runs the whole thing." "What the hell do you want me to do about it?" "Something, anything." "After what that program did to me pretty much the guy who screwed me is screwing Mom." "Watch your mouth." "You're just gonna let this stand?" "♪ ♪" "Hey." "Uh..." "Hey." "Are you really here?" "I could ask you the same thing." "It's hard to know what's real." "My father said I had to come." "Your dead father?" "I don't believe this." " I'm going crazy." " No." "That's not what I mean." "I mean it's happening to you too, of all people." "What?" "I've been seeing things." "People who aren't there." " Fireflies..." " You've seen the fireflies?" "I was sure I was losing my mind." "That I was..." "Look at me." "You're not crazy." "Aaron, none of this makes any sense." "Not yet." "Out by the pool, I swear I saw empanadas." "You'll have to make do." "We only need to keep you alive a couple of days, till we find a buyer for you." "Look, I know I am..." "But I got to warn you." "Warn me?" "What, I should be scared of you?" "Not me." "This guy Nuniez..." "I've seen a thousand psychos like him." "You should get as far away from him as you can." "When my aunt and uncle died, I was alone, starving." "Nobody cared." "Nobody even looked at me except for him." "He treated me like I was his son." "He's not your blood." "Yeah, he's nice to you, 'cause that keeps you on the hook." "The minute you screw up, you're gonna be strung up and whipped to death too." "Yeah?" "Well, I'm not gonna screw up." "Let's get out of here." "You got to go, Miles." "What?" "What are you doing?" "Look, if I get away, it's on the kid, all right?" "Nuniez is gonna hurt him, maybe even kill him." "Right." "What do you think's gonna happen to you?" "He's my son, Miles." "I'm not leaving." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Go." "Go!" "You're a hero, kid." "I was trying to escape." "You caught me." "I don't understand." "Why are you doing this?" "You're a dick." "Charlie:" "Who would have thought?" "Between the two of us, you're the crazy one." "Maybe you didn't hear me." "Lloyd's a friend." "Okay." "And we'll get him back when Miles and the others get here." "It might be too late by then." "You're right." "It might be." "But getting yourself captured or killed isn't gonna help anybody." "That's not gonna happen." "The place is crawling with troops, Grandpa." "You're not a soldier." "You're- " "I'm old?" "Not too old to smack a little respect into you." "Look, I understand the Patriots, all that." "You feel like it's your fault." "You want to make it right." "I see where Mom gets it from." "And you know how that's always worked out for her." "What was I supposed to do?" "He's my son." "Oh, shut up." "You've been his dad for five minutes." "Now all of a sudden, you're Cliff Huxtable?" "You wouldn't do the same for Charlie?" "Look..." "I saw the kid in trouble." "I couldn't leave him, all right?" "I don't know, maybe this gives him a step up with his boss, something I..." "What do I have to give him, huh?" "What have I got to give him, Miles?" "I got nothing." " So I gave him me." " Yeah." "Well, you gave him me, too." "I cannot believe the first selfless act of your entire life is the one that screws me, too." "Thank you." "Lower your voice." "What if someone hears?" "Julia, your husband's responsible for putting your son through a world of hurt." "And I hate him for it, but we have got to stick to the plan." "All you have to do is get me into his office, into his files," " and I will find what I need there." " To blackmail him?" "To get the promotion that you've been dangling in front of me." "What if he finds out?" "You could ruin everything." "Well... then you tell me." "What is the plan?" "For you to stay nestled in that soft feather bed of his?" "Everything that I am doing" "I am doing to protect you." "Well, from where I'm sitting maybe you like the power he's giving you." "Maybe you like what else he's giving you, too." "Tom..." "If you go anywhere near his office I'm not sure that I can protect you." "Can't?" "Or won't?" "♪ ♪" "I'm gonna go get a drink." "Hmm..." "Don't go easy." "Do we want to sell him or bury him?" "Okay, look, I've told her everything I know, but we've still got a lot of questions." "Like why you're both here." "It's 'cause the nano told you to come, am I right?" "How do you know that?" "I was always afraid that maybe one day they could wake up." "How'd they wake up?" "What's the brain, besides a cloud of neurons all talking to each other?" "You get enough of 'em together..." "You cross into consciousness." "There are more nanites than there are neurons in a brain." "In a million brains." "So, if they learn to network..." "That's a big-ass brain." "But it still doesn't explain..." "why us." "It's the code you wrote, Aaron." "The one we stole." "We didn't just use it for the tower." "We put it in the nano too." "You what?" "Me, Rachel, Warren..." "we built its body." "But you gave it its mind." "And let me guess." "You had some help." "Yeah, it was my thesis, but, yeah, Priscilla helped." "So that's why you." "Like anybody, damn thing just wants to know who its parents are." "Our friend Peter... he helped, too." "I wonder why he wasn't called, too." "This is just..." "This is a lot to take in." "You think that's a lot?" "Try wrapping your head around this:" "This thing is everywhere." "And apparently, it's got a mind of its own." "Yeah." "Aaron, how is that any different from God?" "Oh, hell." "Lloyd." "Who are you?" " Just hold on." " Step out slow." "I work here." "I'm on the night shift." "Yeah, well, you're coming with me." "How..." "How did you know I was here?" "Because you're exactly like Mom." "Neither of you listen." "Come on, drop him." "Freeze!" "Stop right there!" "It's you." "You found this in the main kitchen under the butcher's block." "You went downstairs." "You let them out." "You never saw me." "Why are you doing this?" "He did it for me." "So it turns out a thesis project from MIT makes you mother of the world's first A.I." "Welcome to the SyFy Channel." "Maybe you were better off thinking you were crazy." "No." "That was much worse." "I felt like like I lost my grip." "My sanity" "And I was scared." "My husband... couldn't handle it." "He took the kids and left." "What about you?" "I thought I was going crazy, too." "I had someone, too." "She didn't leave." "She stood by me through all of it." "She stood by me and she died for it." "What do we do now?" "I told you I do not know who had access to the..." "I just moved in, damn it." "Victor, what..." "What happened?" "Someone broke into my office." "They went through all my files, through everything." "Any idea who?" "Don't worry, okay?" "I'll get us more security." "Whoever did this..." "we'll find him." "Come here." "So your kid did this to you." "Sebastian:" "Yeah." "I guess I should've hugged him more." "What are you doing here?" "Move." "Keys." "Where'd you get keys?" "Your son." "Stop!" "It's enough." "Put it down now." "Just let him go." "He slipped that bitch a key." "Actually thought he could get away with it." "I'm sorry." "I wasn't thinking." "Loyalty doesn't need to think." "Don't..." "Don't..." "Don't hurt him, all right?" "I have to hurt him now because of you, 'cause he tried to take you from me." "And you, I own." "I thought you said he was like a son to you." "He is." "He has broken my heart." "I took care of you." "And you have chosen him over me." "Let's just talk about this." "I'm sorry, kid." "But you know better than anyone that I can't have people thinking I'm weak." "Well, I'll tell you you know who obsesses about weakness?" "Weak people." "Adios, Connor." "Hey." " Well, he's pretty good, huh?" " Shut up and focus." "Come on." "Come on, let's go!" "Let's go." "That was pretty stupid back there, sticking your neck out like that..." "I just, uh..." " I just wanted to say..." " Go to hell." "Take it easy, all right?" "My back." "Helping you was the worst mistake of my life." "I lost everything I had 'cause of you." "You're welcome." " You think you can get it back?" " What?" "Everything you pissed away." "Your army, your republic." "One, I can do whatever the hell I want." "That's the way it's always been." "Two we're gonna get it back." "You and me, together." "Good." "But you better be telling the truth." "Okay, first we got to mop up some of these red, white and blue cockroaches, but you stick with me." "We're just getting started." "Are you lost, ma'am?" "A word, Captain." "What were you thinking, Tom?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Don't give me that poker face." "Evening." "You broke into his office." "This "poker face" is my face." "And I don't know what you're talking about." "It wasn't you." "Well, then who was..." "What did you do, boy?" "Did you break into Doyle's office?" "The two of you... you're scheming." "You're tearing into each other and everybody else." "You don't even care that the world is burning down around you." "Yeah..." "I dug into his office." "I had to." "They're gonna know it's you, Jason." "Oh, my God." "You know what else I also found out?" "The reprogramming is just the beginning." "Dad, it's so much worse." "They're gonna start wiping people out." "We have to think, Jason." "We have to get you out of here." "No, you're not listening to me." " Jason." " You're a damn fool." "Jason Neville." " Come with us, son." " Tom:" "Why?" "What is this about?" "Do you want me to start asking you questions?" "Ed..." "Please, just let her go." "Bring 'em with me." "If you're gonna kill us, just kill us." "You'll need these." "What's happening?" "They have typhus." "We had one case three days ago." "Lloyd Welliver." "Now we have four." "So we're just trying to get ready." "As fast as we can." "So that's what you're building out here." "This is a quarantine camp." "This is an outbreak." "Look, I know we have our differences." "But we have one thing in common this town." "And if we don't work together we're gonna lose it."
