We lived in an electric world.
We relied on it for everything.
And then the power went out.
Everything stopped working.
We weren't prepared.
Fear and confusion
led to panic.
The lucky ones made it out
of the cities.
The government collapsed.
Militias took over,
controlling the food supply,
and stockpiling weapons.
We still don't know why
the power went out.
But we're hopeful
that someone will come
and light the way.
Previously on Revolution.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to come with us.
- You can't take him.
- Kid, put it down!
- Stop.
Stop.
- Back off!
Danny's gone.
My brother Miles is in Chicago.
He can get Danny.
Why did Monroe want my dad?
And why does he want you?
Monroe thinks your dad
knew something.
And he thinks your dad told me,
so I must know it too.
- What?
- Why the lights went out.
Maybe how
to turn them back on.
God knows what they're doing
to Danny right now.
You are gonna help me
get him back.
I'll meet you in two weeks.
Lowell, Indiana.
- No, wait.
You're leaving?
- I gotta go get Nora.
Who is this woman anyway?
We can't get Danny back
without her.
- Charlie?
- "I went after miles.
I'm sorry.
Charlie.
"
- That's Nora.
- I got arrested.
On purpose.
I'm stealing the sniper rifle.
Yaah!
When did you get that?
You're not selling
that sniper rifle, are you?
- You joined the rebels? You?
- What do you mean, "rebels?"
We're trying to bring back
the United States.
Ben gave me this.
We take this
to this Grace woman
and she does what with it?
Ben just said she knew
something about the power.
Nora, come on,
be reasonable.
We've been
over this, Miles.
It's just
A gun? Like that?
Hard to find these days.
You should keep it.
Use it to get her brother back.
The rebels need it
more than we do.
You're really serious
about this, huh?
Full-on rebel now.
Why is that so hard
to understand?
Because I know you.
It's not like you
to fight for a lost cause.
I fought for us,
didn't I?
Is this
a private conversation?
- No.
- Yes.
I'm just trying
to look out for you.
You really think you
and your rebel pals are gonna
bring back the United States?
Really?
They're gonna butcher you.
I wonder if you
really believe all that
or if you're just scared
of going up against Monroe?
You've gone insane, Miles.
You know that, right?
The rest of the world's
gone insane.
I'm just keeping up.
Okay, right.
Well, one, you're going awol.
And two, what,
are you gonna walk to Chicago?
- I gotta find my brother.
- It's, like, 1,000 miles away.
I'm not gonna
just sit here.
Everybody's
just sitting here.
Waiting for orders
that aren't gonna come.
Okay.
- All right, let me pack.
- What-what?
I'm coming with you.
No, Bass, you're not.
I'm not dragging you into this.
It's my family.
My problem.
And you're my family.
That makes it my problem.
I'm not asking you.
This is your rebel base?
Hey!
Don't move.
Take it easy.
It's okay.
- Nora.
Thank God.
- Nicholas.
You got the rifle.
Did you ever doubt it?
Hey.
I'm Stu Redman.
This is Franny.
They're friends of mine.
Listen, we're in trouble.
It's bad.
What do you mean?
My God.
What the hell happened?
Easy.
Easy.
Hey, you, a little help?
Keep pressure right here.
I can't I can't
We went on a raid
this morning.
The militia supply dump
out in Chatsworth.
We were trying
to score some guns,
but it was a trap.
Soldiers came from everywhere.
Are all your people
accounted for?
- One missing.
- Missing?
- Was he captured?
- I don't know.
You don't know.
What if he was?
What if he's giving up
your position?
And who are you?
Nick, we can't stay here.
We gotta patch these people up
and go.
We're in no shape
to travel.
You don't have
a choice, pal.
The militia could
be coming for you right now.
Guys.
That man's dead.
This is what
being a rebel gets you.
Just tell me.
Where is your rebel camp?
Okay.
You know how hard it is
to find a bullet these days?
I mean a proper bullet.
Smokeless powder.
Copper jacket.
That kind of thing.
You know,
they can't even make them.
Not in this medieval cesspool.
No, we've gotta
go scavenging for antiques.
Where's your rebel camp?
Yes sirree,
bullets are about as rare
and as precious
as diamonds.
Which is why I only
put one bullet in this gun
and why I would prefer
not to use it.
We're gonna
get there sooner or later
until you tell me
where your camp is.
Five miles East
down the Road.
At the old restaurant.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Get ready to move out.
And tell the men,
no survivors.
Revolution
S01 Ep03 - No Quarter
Here.
Damn.
I'm sorry.
- You got a problem?
- What? No.
What possible problem
could I wait.
Well,
there was that one time.
In your little crap village
where you shot my best friend
with a crossbow?
So
Yeah,
I guess there's that.
Your best friend
murdered my father.
Which, let's be honest,
was probably no big loss, right?
Captain Neville?
What?
If you want me dead,
just kill me.
Otherwise,
I'd like some water, please.
You heard the boy.
Give him some water.
Yes, sir!
I don't want
to break up your little
Whatever this is.
We need to talk.
Take your hands off me.
We did it, okay?
We delivered
your stupid rifle
to your whiny-***
rebel buddies.
- It's time to go.
- Look around you.
These people are hurt.
You don't get it.
What happened,
that was a kill order.
Militia's going
to be hunting for them.
It is not safe.
All the more reason
to get them up and out of here.
We're supposed to be looking
for her brother, remember?
Exactly.
It's my brother,
so this is my call.
Excuse me?
- How much time do you need?
- Half hour, tops.
- That's a promise?
- You are joking.
All you say
All you ever say is,
"we gotta find Danny.
We need to find Danny.
"
That clock's ticking.
Now you wanna hang around here,
play wet nurse?
You said we needed her
to get Danny back.
"Needed.
"
Those were your exact words.
Right?
So she's staying,
I'm staying,
and you can do
whatever you want.
So the woman who can turn
the power back on lives here?
It's a little low-key.
I'll give you that.
Hello.
Grace Beaumont?
Stop.
Something's wrong.
Grace?
This is
It's an 8-bit register.
I.
D.
E connector.
CPU.
Last time I saw one of these,
I was happy and so, so rich.
If I didn't know any better,
and I'm not sure that I do,
I would say that Grace Beaumont
built herself a computer.
- But that's
- Insane.
Cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
Totally.
Who would build a computer
unless they had electricity?
Aaron.
We can't stay.
Something bad happened here,
happened to Grace.
What if whoever did it
comes back?
We risk it.
I gotta figure out
what's going on here.
Because if Grace
really had power
and it sorta
looks like she did,
how is anything
more important?
You'll be okay.
I broke this one
in three places.
Healed just fine.
- How'd you do it?
- A boy from my village.
He was a bully.
A real ***, actually.
He was about five years older
and 50 pounds bigger than me,
but I still managed
to knock his front teeth out.
Remind me not to pick
a fight with you.
I will.
Okay, I think
I get it now.
Get what?
It's, Shaq over there,
isn't it?
The honest love
of a good man.
That's why you're fighting
with these amateurs?
Can you boil everything down
to getting laid?
Yeah.
You're acting
like a jealous kid.
Something happened to you.
I'm betting it's that guy.
He's a priest.
- Sorry?
- Nicholas.
He's a catholic priest.
So you're
not his type.
Hey, look, I'm just
trying to understand.
You're right, okay?
I'm here for a guy.
And it's not Nicholas.
And drop it.
Five minutes and we're gone.
Put as much distance between
you and here as possible.
We don't know each other.
We don't talk to each other.
Low profile.
Two months from today,
we'll rendezvous
at Bloomington base.
- Get down!
- Take cover!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
May Christ,
who died for you,
admit you into
his heavenly kingdom.
And enjoy the vision
of God forever.
- Who's your best shot?
- Trevor.
Get up to the roof.
Anybody comes
within ten yards fire.
Hurry,
before they ram the doors in.
Okay, you just buy us
some time, all right?
Padre.
Charlie.
Charlie.
Sam was a sweet kid,
but you can't lose it,
not now.
Now I need your help.
- Sniper on the roof!
- Shoot him!
Fall back!
Fall back!
Fall back!
Hey, what the hell
are you doing?
We don't have
the proper equipment
Shovels or tools
or anything.
So we'll break
the legs off chairs.
Use kitchen tools.
Whatever we got.
Chair legs?
To dig a tunnel?
There's a lot
of men up there, okay?
Sooner or later
they're coming in.
So we are gonna Shawshank
our *** outta here.
Come on.
Go.
Sir, your orders.
- Send in another man.
- Sir, he's cutting us down.
And do you know what he is
cutting us down with, sergeant?
A marine corps M40-a.
And that is the reason
it is illegal for citizens
to own firearms.
He's squeezing off five rounds
in the amount of time
it takes us
to load one.
He seems to have
a remarkable amount of ammo,
but you and I know
that bullets are rare.
Which means sooner or later,
he is going to run out.
So let's just try
to help him along a little.
Shall we?
Send in another man.
Send in another man.
Yes, sir.
Terrific.
Anyone trips that, the bleach
hits the potassium chloride
and they'll end up with
their junk in their hands.
Literally.
Nora, you really think
you'll be able to beat Monroe?
I don't think we're
getting out of here alive.
You know what I mean.
If you do.
Probably not.
We're too outmanned.
But then
why are you here?
Yeah, I was with
your uncle for a while.
But after that there was Frank.
He was sweet.
Had no idea who I was.
What I could do.
One night though,
we went for a walk.
These drunk militia dicks
stopped us.
They were getting cute.
Frank thought
he had to be macho,
defend my honor
or whatever.
They were beating him up
pretty bad.
So I knocked them out cold.
I took a few hard shots,
but
What happened to Frank?
He dumped me.
I think he was
a little bit scared of me.
I don't understand.
You told Miles that you
joined the rebels over a guy.
Yeah.
But it wasn't Frank.
It wasn't even a guy
so much as it was
A little boy.
I was five months pregnant
that night
But the next morning,
I wasn't.
God, Nora, I'm so sorry.
That's why I'm here,
Charlie.
Win or lose.
'Cause I had
to make it mean something.
And if I have
another baby,
it will be born
in the United States.
Up and at 'em, sunshine.
You looking
for Captain Neville?
Sorry, he went into town.
It's just you and me.
Now where were we?
Yeah.
You killed my friend.
Now, look, he
- Templeton.
- Okay.
Okay, Templeton.
Show him some respect.
His name was Templeton.
He had a wife, Carol.
Huge girl.
But he loved her.
So now I gotta go tell
big Carol what happened,
and she's gonna
look me in the eye.
She's gonna say,
"but you got payback, right?"
And you know what
I'm gonna tell her?
"Yes, I did.
Again and again.
"
- Just hold on.
- "And again.
"
Captain Neville,
he wants me alive.
You'll be alive.
Don't worry.
You'll just
wish you weren't.
Aah!
Miles, we can't do anything.
Let's just keep walking, okay?
How many bodies
have we come across?
Just like this?
I don't understand how things
could fall apart so fast.
Well, what
do you expect, man?
People are hungry.
Hungry people get desperate.
Yeah.
But this?
Ain't nobody coming to help.
No one.
How many rounds
you think he's got left?
We'll get out of here.
Well
Must be nice
to have faith.
Must make you
feel real confident.
Son of a ***.
All wired up.
Albert!
You got him?
Do you got him?
You okay?
So what now?
I don't know.
Dig it out again, I guess.
- And we're out of ammo.
- This is crazy.
We don't have time
to dig another tunnel.
- What's your brilliant idea?
- We fight them off!
There's 50 men up there.
You cannot stop them.
You know,
that's what my dad used to say.
Every time the soldiers
would come into our town
and they would take our crops
and our women.
I bet he said it
the night they came for him.
And he was right.
He was trying to protect you.
He was being a coward!
Don't ever, ever
disrespect your dad.
Are we clear?
Tripwire.
They're coming in.
We still got men up there.
Charlie!
Wait here.
I mean it.
Miles.
Stay back.
Or he's dead.
- Move, move, move!
- Let's go!
Lock the door.
Nora, rope.
What's this about?
He's their C.
O.
We can trade him.
His life for ours.
Miles.
It really is you,
isn't it?
Who's Miles?
You know this guy?
You really don't know,
do you?
How do you know him?
Well, they're gonna
find out sooner or later.
Go ahead.
Tell them.
This is Miles Matheson,
commanding general
of the Monroe militia.
A damn founding father
of the Republic.
Second only
to Sebastian Monroe himself.
He taught me
everything I know.
Miles?
- I'll slitch your throat.
- Padre.
I thought you were
all about forgiveness.
Christ forgives.
I'm not Christ.
You knew this whole time.
Wait a minute, you brought
Miles Matheson in here?
- On purpose?
- This is so dramatic.
Do you guys remember
One life to live?
Shut up.
Look, be pissed.
Hate me.
Do what you gotta do.
But we got bigger fish,
okay?
We trade him in,
we get outta here.
- Won't matter.
- Yes, it will.
'Cause like he said,
I made the rules.
Well, the rules of engagement
have changed, kid.
Monroe's done
negotiating with traitors.
- You're a bad liar, Jeremy.
- I'm a bad liar?
Look me in the eye
and tell me I'm a liar.
So let me go.
Don't.
I've made peace with my Lord.
And when my men come in here
and cut you all up into strips,
you're gonna have to make
I just I'm confused.
So general Monroe,
you you know him?
I am not talking
about this right now.
Well, I'm sorry, but I think
I deserve an explanation
Really? Do you?
Okay.
Yeah.
I know him.
Very well.
You were in charge
of the whole militia?
Been a few years,
but yeah.
So you murdered
people's fathers
and dragged away
their brothers?
Yes, Charlie!
I killed fathers and sons!
And husbands and is that
what you want to know?
You happy?
Do not talk
to me that way.
I'm just trying to understand
what's going on.
Well, now you know.
Now you know why the militia
cannot be stopped.
Because they're mine.
I trained them.
And they are brutal,
and smart,
and vicious.
Because of me.
That's why
your dad was right.
When you see them coming,
you don't fight.
You run.
Any progress?
No.
Pretty much a sucking
black hole of nothing.
I found some supplies.
Salt.
Curry.
That's great.
That's great.
And curry.
Great.
- You're frustrated.
- Frustrated?
Frustrated doesn't
even scratch it.
What is all of this crap,
and what is this ugly-*** thing
even for?
Why did Ben
even give it to me?
- Aaron.
- It's like
Lucy yanking some
enormous cosmic football
just as Charlie Brown's
about to kick it.
I'll be downstairs.
Ready!
Look, Nora, we just
don't have a choice.
- That's your plan?
- Listen
Nick, we all charge
out that door,
half of us
won't make it.
Half is better than none.
Now if you have a better idea
It's easy, actually,
to have a better idea than that,
'cause that idea is awful.
I'd keep my mouth shut
if I were you.
Take it easy,
your holiness.
I'm about to save
your sorry ***.
Miles, how?
Make a trade.
So.
You let these people go,
I'll turn myself in
- What?
- To you.
Miles, no.
That's a good deal, right?
I bet you'd get
a parade for this.
I want that rifle.
The one you were
taking potshots at us with.
Done.
What makes you think
he'll keep his side?
I've known this guy
for much longer
than I've known
any of you.
He'll keep his word.
Yeah? And what
about your word?
Can't find Danny
if you're dead.
All right.
Let's go.
They're gonna kill him.
He's a war criminal.
And aren't you a priest?
Doesn't change
what he's done.
Sorry,
I can only pray
that the Lord
will have mercy on his soul.
Hey, man.
So, just you and me.
What do you want to do?
Leave me alone.
You're not still upset
about before, are you?
- I don't
- What? I can't hear you.
No, no, no, no, no.
- Stop screwing around.
- I have asthma.
I have asthma.
I need I need
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Quit it.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, Captain Neville
You touch me again
And I'll kill you.
I'll kill you!
Do you understand me?
Do you?
Miles, it's me.
You can level with me.
Is it true?
Is what true?
Well, the rumor
is Monroe wants you
'cause you know something about
flipping the lights back on.
It's crazy, right?
- What do you think?
- I think it's crazy.
I think Monroe
is obsessed.
It's sort of worrisome.
I'll tell you something else.
He hasn't been the same
since you left.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
He's well, he's angrier.
Shorter fuse, you know?
Not like the good old days.
Aah!
Come on!
Miles, no.
Come on, man,
let's just keep walking.
You don't have to come.
Get away from him.
This ain't none
of your business.
- I said get away from him.
- Hey.
Take it easy.
Here.
Look.
If I were you, I would
just get the hell out of here.
No.
Do not move.
Miles.
Look, man, I'm sorry.
We're just trying to find
something to eat.
That couple
back up the road?
In the orange tent?
Yeah, that was you.
I thought so.
We can't call the cops.
- Can't put him in jail.
- Miles.
Miles.
This is over.
Aah!
What did you just do?
There's nobody else
coming to help.
- It's just us out here.
- Yeah.
So you're just gonna
walk around wasting guys now?
Somebody's gotta
do something.
Or else there's
gonna be nothing left.
Hey.
Mister, you all right?
Thank you.
You saved my life.
- All right, let's hear it.
- Hear what?
Tell me I'm a monster.
That I'm garbage.
Miles Matheson,
general of the militia.
Come on, I wanna
hear you say it.
- I'm not gonna say it.
- Why not?
- 'Cause I don't think it.
- Yes, you do.
How can you not?
- You don't understand, Charlie.
- So tell me.
- I want to understand.
- No.
You really don't.
Well, fact is you still saved
all those people back there.
So obviously there's a part
of you that still gives a crap.
You're wrong.
- You wanna hear a joke?
- Sorry?
You'll love it.
All right, there was this kid.
Billy Underwood.
Beat me up every day
on the playground
in fifth grade.
Wedgies, especially.
The kid was, like,
the Mozart of wedgies.
And I swore that things
would get better.
And they did.
I grew up.
And I got 300 employees
and four homes and a wife
Who didn't care
about any of it
in the best possible way.
And the punch line was
The blackout.
When the world went back
to being one
giant school yard
and the Billy Underwoods
are in charge
and I am weak
and afraid.
What is that?
- Aaron.
- My God.
It's music.
It's Marvin Gaye.
How?
I don't know.
