Previously on Revolution
This is Miles Matheson,
Commanding General
of the Monroe Militia.
Second only
to Sebastian Monroe himself.
We have light, power.
And it's time
to let everyone know it,
starting with the rebels.
And once that irritation is done,
it's on to Georgia.
You want to take down Monroe,
you gotta hit hard.
I'm gonna help you.
I'm with the rebels now.
There's still no word
from Neville.
Whatever happened,
he's failed.
I'll make the pick-up.
That's Randall Flynn.
The man was selling Randall
a bomb.
Like like, nuclear?
How are we
supposed to fight that?
Charlie, I have to leave.
Why?
There's this place.
It's called "The tower.
"
I'm gonna turn the power on
for everybody.
Wait.
Isn't there at least a little chance
that I'll see you again?
Charlie, I'm not coming back.
Honestly, General,
we are still piecing it together, but
seems that Major Neville and his wife
fled this city last night.
Why would he do that?
We recieve some intel.
A few of our spied
has spotted someone
that we think may be
Major Neville's son, Jason.
- His son?
- Yes, sir.
I see.
His son is dead.
According to our reports.
He's with the rebels now.
Well that means Major Neville
has been lying to me
for a while now.
Wonder what else he's been lying
to me about.
Clearly I've been too kind
too trusting, right?
So Major Neville, he never
told you any about this?
No, no, sir.
Never.
It's just,
you were his most trusted aid.
He trained you, right?
Sir, that dosn't mean that
- I have ever proved anything
- No.
I used to hear you two
just whispering.
Whispered like
like housewives.
How do I know
i can trust you, captain?
How do I know that
you won't betray me, too?
Major Neville is a traitor.
I'm loyal to you.
I'm sure that's true.
Come in down, I get you.
Medic!
Need a medic.
Relax, you'll be okay.
Four of our spied died up here.
Miles, what do we do?
What is it?
Monroe set a nuke to Atlanta.
Two-man strike team
smuggled across the border.
When?
A day ago, maybe two.
You think Monroe's crazy enough
to use it?
If Georgia doesn't surrender
yeah, I do.
If we can find it in time
do you think you can disarm it?
I don't know.
I'll give it a shot.
Your confidence is overwhelming.
You're in too.
Your mom told me
to take care of you,
so I figured I'd drag you
in front of a nuclear weapon.
Pack your crap.
We're going to Georgia.
So, this woman we're looking for
Dr.
Warran.
She can get us into the tower?
She knows the place
better than me.
Better than anyone.
We need her.
All clear!
What?
I've never left
the Monroe Republic.
My God, you're a hick.
Let's go!
Come on!
Steam engines.
That's just for starters.
Georgia Federation
whole different world.
What do you mean?
Well, they're filthy rich,
for one thing.
They got warm weather,
lots of crops.
Heard they even started
trading with Europe.
Mint juleps and plantations.
Wait till you see Atlanta.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, it's not like back home.
Nobody's covered in crap.
It's got
a pretty serious gate, Miles.
How we gonna get through?
Well, we can't.
Three soldiers can.
Just gotta look the part.
Come on.
Okay knock on the door,
bat your eyelashes.
When soldier boy answers,
you cut his throat.
No sign of struggle.
Perfect head shot.
Monroe's guys
must have done this.
They had
the same idea we did.
Cleared out the spare uniforms.
Then we'll take these uniforms.
Weapons too.
Miles?
I've seen this knife before.
Whose is it?
Mine.
Alec.
He was here.
He did this.
You don't know that.
Same route
i would have taken.
That's the move
i would have made.
It's him.
- Miles wait!
- Charlie.
- Give him a minute.
- What's going on?
Who's Alec?
Remember
the first time we met?
Right outside this bar.
Did you ever think that kid
would make captain?
No, that kid was an idiot.
But
I've gotta say
grew into
a pretty fine soldier.
That's 'cause I learned from one.
I ever tell you
where this knife came from?
No.
My grandfather carved
the handle himself.
Took it with him to Korea.
When he made it back
in one piece,
that made the knife
a good luck charm.
So
When my dad shipped out
for Vietnam,
he took it with him.
He made it back home too,
which made the damn thing
Miracle lucky.
Here.
Make sure you always
come back alive.
Miles, I can't take this.
I I-I don't want this.
One day, maybe your son will.
Oh, great,
this isn't super creepy at all.
Your friend lives out here?
Jane can be odd.
So when we find her,
try not to set her off
or make eye contact.
Okay.
You folks lost?
Just passing through.
You know,
there's a toll on this road.
Well, whatever you want.
I just
That's mighty kind of you.
- Get your hands off me!
- Not just yet!
Come on, sweetheart.
We're gonna have a good time.
What's the matter with you?
I don't know.
I'm burning up!
What the hell?
Stay there!
Jane.
Rachel.
What are you doing out here?
I came to see you.
Really?
Why's that?
Um, hi.
Sorry.
Are we just not going
to talk about
the magically charred bodies, or
- Who's this?
- A friend.
He knows.
It's not magic,
but it might as well be.
Must be what God feels like.
Come back to the house.
We've got sandwiches.
I am not hungry anymore.
Okay, we search here.
Alec is gonna spill as much
innocent blood as possible.
How do you know?
'Cause that's how I taught him.
Flashlights?
One of those pendants
powers the nuke,
Which means it will power
anything else in its range.
Hey, Miles.
Alec.
How long you been back in Philly?
About a year.
You know, Monroe said
you might come looking for it.
Did you get my message?
Well turns out it wasn't
so lucky for me after all.
Alec, what I did to you
It was for the good of the republic,
right?
C'mon, old man!
Miles?
Miles!
Go.
Go! He's got the nuke!
Out of my way!
Move!
Go that way.
Alec, come on.
You think I care
if you kill some cop?
See, that's the thing, Miles.
I didn't kill him.
You did.
Alec
You! Don't move!
What now?
We'll never find Alec
or that bomb without Miles.
How we gonna get him out?
Let's take a look.
Beth,
i've got a surprise for you.
Rachel Matheson.
Oh, my God.
You look wonderful.
Well,
what are you doing out here?
Um, just traveling through, uh,
on our way to Colorado.
Well, that's quite a trip.
What's in Colorado?
Unfinished business.
Uh, Beth, why don't you
give this chubby gentleman
some lunch?
Thanks.
Rachel some fresh air?
Why would you go to the tower?
You know why, Jane.
We need to turn the power back on
for everyone.
You're going
to destroy the nanites.
And I need your help to do it.
Even though they're keeping
your son alive?
What happened?
Something not even your
little machines could fix.
Randall is in the tower.
- God knows what he can do.
- Oh, please.
What could Randall
possibly do to me?
This is bigger than what happens
to you and me.
The person
i love most on this planet
is in her 16th year
of stage four cancer.
She's a miracle.
Those nanites are inside of her,
eating away at her tumors,
just like they were inside of Danny.
They do more than keep
the power off.
I know.
I know what I'm asking.
I don't think you do.
Either that or you don't care.
You short-circuit the nanites,
all of them, everywhere,
and Beth dies.
You flip the switch
at the tower,
and you flip the switch on
her too.
- Jane
- Rachel.
I strongly suggest
that you drop this.
Gotta admit,
you're a pretty good shot.
What are you, huh?
Huh?
Miles's new sidekick?
See, I feel for you.
Hell, I'm here to warn you
about Miles.
- Oh, really?
- Sure.
I mean, you're the new me,
aren't you?
Huh? Aren't you?
I was right
where you're standing.
My guess is you got no one else,
huh?
Orphan probably.
And then there's Miles,
with the swagger
and the sword tricks.
And you want to learn from him.
And eventually you think
you mean something to him, hmm?
But you don't.
He could give
a crap about you.
You're a means to an end.
You're meat for the grinder.
He wouldn't do that to me.
What makes you so special,
princess?
He's my uncle, for one.
Really?
You're Rachel Matheson's daughter.
You know what Miles did to her?
You don't think
he'd hurt you? Huh?
Ask him what he did
to your mom sometime.
Miles Matheson.
Madam president.
May I just say
That was a crap-load of stairs.
Charming as ever.
I suppose you're gonna tell me
you didn't kill that policeman.
Nope.
But the man who did,
he's your problem.
He's a hell of a problem.
Little mash note
from Sebastian.
"Dear citizens,
our fight is not with you.
It is with your leaders
who insist upon war.
"
If the Georgia federation
does not offer
an unconditional surrender
by midnight tonight,
he's going to detonate a nuke.
You must have heard he got power.
Mm-hmm.
But a nuclear bomb?
And he's deranged enough
to use it.
Kelly
He wants your real estate.
You know that.
Let me out of here.
I can help.
I should trust you?
Miles
I should slit you wide open.
You killed how many
of my troops?
That was a long time ago.
And what about what you did to me,
personally?
Kelly
The guy who brought
this bomb here,
I trained him.
I can stop him.
And hell, if I'm wrong,
we're all in the same dust
cloud anyway.
You saw Alec?
Go, go, go!
What happened?
What did he say?
He didn't say anything,
all right?
We don't have a lot of time.
- How are we gonna get Miles?
- Maybe we don't.
Maybe we just
gotta find that bomb.
Well, thank you, Nora.
I appreciate the loyalty.
Come on, I've been looking
all over for you guys.
Miles,
you think the bomb is here?
Alec's gonna detonate
where the people are.
They're not in the city anymore.
They're here.
It's gonna be here.
Alec.
Welcome home.
How did the job go?
Smooth.
No, Alec, it didn't.
General Blanchard survived.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
I listen
You winged him
And he made the shooter.
We can't afford
to go to war with Texas.
You know that.
I've gotta give 'em something.
- Miles.
- He saw your face.
You know what they will do to me.
You know! Miles
We can't go to war.
We won't win.
Miles.
This is the job.
The job?
After everything
It's about the job?
Miles, okay
Miles hey, get off me!
Miles, if I mean anything to you,
please don't do this.
I can fix this.
If we just
If you just give
all right, look,
just a little bit more time.
We can fix this, Miles!
Miles?
Come on!
Go, go, go!
Rachel.
Rachel, what do you think
you're doing?
We have killed too many people.
We have to stop this thing.
This thing kept your son alive.
And only now
Now you're asking me
to sacrifice my family?
My son is not alive.
I did awful things
for him, and
he's dead.
Non none of it mattered.
And you're saying to save him,
you wouldn't have
done it all again?
No.
I wouldn't.
I would
I would hate myself.
No.
- I don't believe you.
- Jane
I am so disappointed in you,
Rachel.
Don't.
Jane.
Is this true?
Beth, please listen
This whole time, you've known
how to turn the power back on?
If I do it
You will die.
- Give her what she wants.
- Beth, no.
If you don't help her,
I swear I will slash my wrists
Then you won't have anything
to worry about.
Give her what she wants.
This will tell you everything
you need to know.
Get out.
And don't come back.
So, they let you go, huh?
You really gonna
blow yourself up?
All those people out there?
That's the job, Miles.
Job comes first.
That's what you taught me.
Yeah, I was wrong.
See, now that doesn't sound
like the general Matheson I know.
I'm trying really hard
not to be him.
No.
You were right.
See, it took me a while
to figure it out.
But you had to give me up.
Or it would have been war.
No.
I should
have been looking out for you.
I should have protected you.
No!
Don't tell me that.
You sent me to Texas, man.
Miles, all all those years.
And I did it.
Oh, I did it.
I did it for the republic.
I did it for you.
And then I come back,
and you're gone?
Like it was all some mistake.
Like it was for nothing.
Strike team,
this is Philadelphia.
Your mission is a go.
Detonate.
Repeat, detonate.
Strike team, do you copy?
Strike team, come in.
There's no response, sir.
Alec, this is General Monroe.
Do you copy?
Your mission is a go.
Alec, do you copy? Alec, do you copy?
Your mission is a go.
Do you copy?
Do you copy, Alec?
Alec, do you copy?
Come on, Alec, don't do it.
Don't do it!
You did this.
Do you copy?
Alec, your mission is a go.
Do you copy?
Do you copy, Alec?
I need to ask you
something about Alec.
Not now.
He said you did something
to my mom.
- What's he talking about?
- It doesn't matter.
Miles,
i just want to know the truth.
The truth is, people count on me
And they get hurt.
You want to know why?
Because I hurt them.
And I don't even think twice about it.
That's who I am, Charlie.
Now get the hell away from me.
President Foster wants to see you.
Where's the rest of it?
The radioactive material, Miles.
- Where is it?
- Why?
So you can build a nuke
of your own?
Monroe knows
he can't take me on the ground.
My men outnumber his two to one.
I'm supposed to run
and hide because he has power?
Well, sweetheart, I have money.
I've got tall ships in Savannah.
Aid from England.
His third-world ***
is gonna mess with me?
Well
If he wants all-out war,
he's got it.
Have fun with that.
If you'll excuse me.
Hold on.
Miles.
My men will attack
his southern border.
I want you and your rebels
to hit Monroe from the inside.
Open up a second front.
Kelly
I don't have that kind of manpower,
on my best day.
A couple hundred men,
a thousand guns.
All yours.
What do you say, Miles?
Ready to be a General again?
