Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

Previously on "Dominion"...

It's the Morning Star.

My older brother. Lucifer.

It's the Amphora of Darkness.

It brings out the darkness inside you.

It drives you mad with visions to make you hurt yourself or someone else.

Your humanity is hanging by a thread.

Cut it.

Horrible things I've done.

My baby.

I thought I lost you.

[Willow cries]

Alex?

Where's Willow?

Good-bye, David.

You mean nothing.

I will k*ll them all.

The Amphora of Darkness.

We need to find out who survived.

God's wrath has never been unleashed on an archangel.

[panting]

[screams]

Michael, he'll come back for me.

No, he's forgotten you.

Julian's army, they're already here.

You're the master of all angels in New Delphi now.

It's your army.

Good.

They will be another w*apon to use, but my brother's death will be by this hand when I plunge my sword into his traitorous heart.

[dramatic music]

[shouts]

[grunts]

Gabriel?

The Darkness... it was you.

Father may have gone, but at least he left his toys behind.

What have you done?

Gabriel, your eyes.

The Darkness is inside you.

Julian did this to you somehow.

You're not yourself.

Nonsense.

Julian merely lifted the veil.

For so long I blamed Alex for everything that's happened, but now I know who's truly responsible.

You.

No. We stood together in New Delphi.

I haven't forgotten your sacrifice.

[grunts]

What are you doing?

I'm going to k*ll you, Michael, and everything you love.

I won't fight you.

Good, then die quickly.

[shouts]

♪ ♪

It's gonna get worse before it gets better, right?

I don't know, Alex.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

Look at me.

What you lost, there are no words, but I need you with me, okay?

We need to get to Claire and make sure she's okay.

Then stop talking and start moving.

We'll check the suite first.

[grunts]

[gasps] Alex.

Claire, are you okay?

[grunts]

No, Claire, don't... don't sh**t.

[softly gasps]

You k*lled my guard.

He was dead, but I don't know if I shot him, Claire.

I don't know.

How did you get out of your cell?

I don't know. I woke up in House Whele holding a g*n to my head.

It happened to you, didn't it?

What did you see?

My worst nightmare.

You're dead.

[sobbing] I am so sorry.

Please forgive me. Forgive me.

You... you and Rose, you... you treated me like an eight-ball.

You trained me to seduce David Whele like we did to her.

I tried... I tried to resist, but I lost myself.

It was... it was so...

Real.

More than real.

What I saw was more like a dream... everything I ever wanted.

She has my eyes, your chin, don't you think?

Yeah.

I got to find Alex.

Claire?

Will you trust me?

[screaming in distance]

[scoffs] Doesn't look like I have a choice, does it?

[sobbing]

Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Shh-shh-shh.

Don't despair.

We all saw the worst things possible.

What did you see?

The truth.

Vega must die.

I can't go on.

You won't have to.

♪ ♪

[g*nsh*t]

Get away from me. Stay back!

Rough night, huh?

Are you real?

Flesh and blood.

Whatever happened, it's over... for now at least.

I saw things.

You and me both.

What matters is that we survived.

You're David Whele.

[scoffs]

That's impossible.

Yeah, yeah, apparently I managed to survive my own hanging, unless this is still a figment of my imagination.

God, I hope not.

What brought you here to the w*r Room?

I... I was at my post.

I'm a Comm Officer.

Ah, a useful man.

Well, son, if my eyes aren't lying, it appears our time together is limited.

Noma.

Claire?

Alex? You're alive.

You're hurt.

No, I'm fine.

[shouts in distance]

You hear that?

[shouting continues]

Julian's army.

[all grunting and shouting]

[dramatic music]

They'll hit the East Wall first.

Sounds like they're a couple of miles from the wall.

On foot, they'll be here in less than an hour.

We don't have a lot of time.

Tell me you have a plan.

Nomes and I will cover the East Wall, look for survivors, arm them, and fight.

Alex, there won't be enough.

You two get to the w*r Room.

We need the wall cannons online.

It's our only chance.

Okay, great. I know the codes.

Arika and I will take care of it.

Sooner the better.

Once the eight-balls get here the walls won't stop them.

Alex...

I don't want this to be the end.

We survived the Darkness.

I'm not dying today, and neither are you.

I saw... I saw our daughter.

Her name was Willow.

Willow?

She was beautiful, and...

Our daughter?

I saw our future, or what it might have been.

Alex, we got to move.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Be careful.

Gabriel, stop!

You've betrayed me time and time again.

You were the one Julian wanted to k*ll, and yet I was the one he tortured after you left.

I left to protect the Chosen One and Father's markings.

I did it all for us, for the family!

Ha!

What has family ever meant to you, hmm?

You betrayed our family!

You gave your gift away.

Claire, I'm not coming with you.

I'm going home.

Arika, I can't do this alone.

You can.

You're stronger than you think, maybe stronger than me, and this isn't my city.

I... I need to go back to Helena.

This is not about Helena or Vega.

If we don't k*ll these monsters, that's it for all of us.

Arika... please don't leave.

Are you going to stop me?

No.

Too many people have died already.

You want to go? Go.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Yes, that's gonna leave them short

_

by about a yard and a half.

_

They will go for it.

Father's gone. I had hoped I was wrong, but he really is gone.

I wonder, if your most prized creation becomes your greatest failure, what are you do to?

What are you talking about?

Humans.

They drove him away.

No, that's not the reason.

That's your interpretation.

Funny, coming from a man gifted with what one can only assume are very important markings that none of us can read.

Another gift from Father.

Uriel and her beloved Apocrypha, the prophecies he gave Raphael, the scribblings on your body, tokens for one and all.

That's what all this is about, you feeling left out?

Ah, not at all.

Father gave me a gift too.

A seal?

No, not just any seal.

Lucky number seven, the apocalypse.

I don't believe it.

Why would Father entrust you with such...

Power? Isn't it obvious?

Gabriel, what are you doing?

All we have to do is crack the seventh seal.

The skies will open.

Our kind will descend to cure this world of a dreadful disease: humanity.

You'll start a w*r pitting humans against angels.

You wouldn't.

But it's what Father must have wanted.

When the last human is dead, he'll return.

He has to.

No. No, Raphael's prophecy foretells a Chosen One.

No.

We must find him together.

You'll forgive me if I don't put much stock in Raphael's prophecies.

She has a rather spotty record when it comes to predicting the future.

No, there is only one way to bring Father back, and it's in my hands.

Gabriel, please don't do this.

If you break that seal... no!

[wind gushing]

There. It's done.

[panting]

[screams]

What have you done?

You broke the seventh seal.

You started the Extermination w*r.

The seal was made to be broken.

No, you weren't meant to open the heavens.

It was a test, a test you failed.

No. You are wrong.

♪ ♪

Eradicating the scourge of humanity is the only way to bring our Father home.

That's why he gave us the power to destroy them.

No, you're wrong.

Father wanted us to save humanity, all of them.

That's why he gave us the Chosen One.

Agree to disagree.

[all shouting and growling]

It's okay! We're human!

We're human!

Gotta take a chance.

Okay.

Still no sign of Michael.

He'd be here if he could.

We're on our own.

The city is under attack by an army of eight-balls, so if you can use a w*apon, consider yourself a soldier of Vega.

You making yourself our leader?

No, I'm not asking you to fight for me.

I'm asking you to fight with me.

We fight or we die.

If you're k*lling angels, we're with you.

Good.

Take everyone with a g*n and get to the walls, everyone.

Here you go, sister.

I've never shot a g*n before.

You'll learn.

I'll show you, uh-huh.

Come on, I'll show you.

Okay, thanks.

You guys with me. Let's go.

You practice that talk in the shower?

I haven't showered in two weeks.

Let's go. Let's go.

Yup!

If we're gonna die...

I'm glad I'm gonna go down fighting next to the man I love.

Yes, to k*ll me.

Believe me, there is nothing I would like more.

Look at the monitors, David.

System rebooting.

I'm glad we've finally come to some kind of understanding.

The only thing that I understand is that you're a m*rder*r.

[all shouting and growling]

[dramatic music]

My baby is dead.

You k*lled her.

Ah!

Do you know what it's like to lose a piece of yourself, your reason to fight, your reason to live?

Two of my children were m*rder*d on the first day of the w*r.

They were torn from my wife's arms, but I found solace in building this city.

I poured my love and energy into it, and this city became my child.

I gave far more to this city, to Vega, than I ever did to my surviving son.

You remember him? William?

The son you ordered me to put to death?

But the day I left William out in the desert was the day that I destroyed the last piece of hope in myself.

I just wasn't honest enough to lie down and stop breathing.

I am sorry for everything I have done.

I hate you.

You're not worth it.

Oh, shit.

[all shouting and growling]

They're over by the Luxor. That's outside the walls.

They can stay there as long as they like.

Who cares?

We do.

There's a tunnel right underneath that bus that leads straight into Vega.

There is no Chosen One! Damn the prophecy!

He's destined to be a savior!

Or a destroyer. Don't forget that.

And that's why we must guide him.

Noma, go! Find him.

Michael, please. What are you doing?

It's too late. The lower angels are here.

Their work will soon be done.

Then you have to stop them.

No, never!

Yeah. There's a gate in the middle, but it's not gonna last long. Let's go.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a bigger g*n.

Hold on what?

There are eight-balls at our walls, in the tunnels.

Let's move.

Listen, Claire, I swore an oath to protect Alex, but it's more than just an oath.
