01x13 - Resistance

Post by bunniefuu »

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You did what
everyone around here's

been wanting to do for days.

[sighs]

You take it way too easy on me.

But I get it now.

For the longest time, I was
so mad at you for going off

on that population control
officer back in Chicago.

Sometimes you can't help
yourself.

[door shuts]

You want the good news
or the bad news first, Sheriff.

Surprise me.

The good news is,
your son's free to go.

No, I'm staying with him.

Josh?

Believe me, I wanted to k*ll
you, young Shannon, a lot.

But, uh, I was, uh... I was

persuaded otherwise.

Dad?

Dad? Dad!
Hey!

Take it easy.
Dad!

It's okay, Josh.
Don't, don't touch him!

[zapping]

Cool toy.

Isn't it?

Where's my father?

[grunting and panting]

I don't know how you people
can stand this place.

Hold still.

Bugs the size of dogs,
plants that eat children.

Why would anyone want to
live in this nightmare?

What did you just give me?

An antihistamine
for the itching.

ELISABETH: I'll take it from
here. Thank you, Nurse.

Hello.
I'm Dr. Shannon.

You feeling any better?

No. If anything, the
itching just got worse.

Have you ever heard of
Trichomonas sastrei?

It's a parasite known to cause
heart lesions in slashers.

In humans, the larvae attack
the central nervous system

and sort of burrow their
way into the brain stem.

From what I
understand, it's...

quite an excruciating
way to die.

Why are you telling me this?

Because you've just been
injected with half a
million Trichomonas larvae.

I switched out your
antihistamine.

Lucas Taylor is detaining
my husband,

and you are gonna help
me get him out in exchange

for the cure.

One of these is an
antiparasitic.

The other two are poisonous.
And only I know which is which.

And as soon as my husband is
free, I will tell you.

Do we have a deal?

[zapping]
[screaming]

[whispers]: We don't have
to keep doing this.

Just tell me
where my father is.

What the hell did he do to make
you hate him so much?

[zapping]
[groans]

What happened in Somalia?

He told you about that?

He said he couldn't save
your mother;

that you blamed him
for her death.

He could have saved her;
he chose not to.

He let her die.

He... he watched her die.

I don't believe you.

I was there!

I was there

when the rebels
took the city.

When they lined the civilians up
and told my father

and his soldiers
that they had to choose.

Each soldier could save one
person... just one.

They would have just
ex*cuted me on the spot.

But her...

her they... they, uh...
took their time with.

Lucas...

what happened...

was not his fault.

They made him choose.

You can't blame
him for that.

No.

He blamed me.

I could see it in his eyes...

even at 14...

and every time I
disappointed him,

and every time I didn't live up
to his expectations

of what the great Nathaniel
Taylor's son was supposed to be.

Lucas, you put
this all on yourself.

You, don't patronize me.

[zapping]
[screams]

Lucas, we located
your father's camp.

An as*ault team's getting
ready to roll out.

I want to be there.
I figured you would.

They're leaving
from the south gate.

Keep him alive.

Jim! What did they do to you?

The cure! Give it to me.

[panting]: How long before it
starts k*lling the parasites?

Parasites?
What parasites?
The ones you...

You were bluffing.

You're a highly suggestible
hypochondriac, Mr. Weaver.

I suggest you see
a doctor about that. Josh!

Did you just give me...
A sedative, yeah, I did.

Josh!

Help me get your father out.

We don't have much time.

Come on, girls.
We're getting out of here.

Mom?
Yeah?

That was awesome.

Skye managed to get
a message to Taylor's camp.

They're sending someone for us,

but we have to make it
to the tree line, okay?

With Josh's help,
I think I can make it.

[alarm blaring]

They're looking for us.

LUCAS: Shannon's escaped,
and Weaver's gone missing.

[indistinct voice on radio]

He's alive.

Idiot.
All clear!

They're gone.
No one's here.

Wake this guy up.

Let's find these people.

[radio beeps]

[indistinct radio announcement]

Wash. You made it.

Dunham was right about
the new perimeter grid.

I disabled it
with this controller.

We got five minutes
until they realize

that this section is down.
Where'd you get
your hands on that?

Swiped it off a very drunk
guard at Boylan's.

He's not gonna
stay drunk forever.

Once they trace
that back to you,

they'll know you
helped us escape.

You gotta come with us.

It's 100 yards.

You'll never make it
to the tree line

unless someone
distracts those guards.

Wash... the plan was
for you to come with us.

There's no other way.

Go, and you save your family.

Give Taylor a message
for me, would you?

Remind him about Cu Lao Cham.

Cu Lao Cham? I don't,
I don't know what that is.

He'll understand.

Now...

you get ready to
run like hell.

How will we know when?
You'll know.

Thank you.

Wash...

MAN: Tower 6?
Bring the spotlight down here.

Mommy...
It's okay, sweetheart.
Just get ready, okay?

Now.

Suspect spotted! Moving east!

[men shouting]

TAYLOR:
Here they come.

Dunham, bring 'em in.
Yes, sir.

[men shouting]

Go, go!

[grunts]

Yah!

You helped the Shannons escape.

Where are they?

Tell me which
way they went,

and I might
let you live.

[panting]

TAYLOR:
Load up. We gotta go.

What happened to Wash?

She stayed behind,
so we could get out.

You have three seconds
before I sh**t.

Taylor. No.

It's suicide.
You can't.

One...

two...

You know, you have
your father's eyes.

[shot fires]

[birds singing]

Is it true about Wash,
Commander?

Afraid so.

She was a good soldier.

That she was.

Get these folks settled;
they've had a long night.

Is this where we're going to
live now, Daddy?

Just for a little while.

Till the bad people go away,

and then we'll go home
again, okay, sweetie?

Is Mark Reynolds around?

He's on patrol duty.

Okay.

Ah, hell.

Dunham.

Find Reynolds
and take his shift.
Me? Why?

Just do it, Private.

Thanks.

Well, you find anything out
there in the Badlands?

We found something.

Wait.

We held up our end
of the bargain.

When are you going
to hold up yours?

Don't worry, you'll be paid.

I'm talking about
going back to 2149.

I want to see my daughter.

As soon as the terminus
is repaired, you and your
people are free to go.

[animal screeching]

[man speaks
indistinctly over radio]

ZOE:
Commander Taylor, sir?

Hey. Zoe Shannon.

I'm really sorry
about what happened.

Lieutenant Washington
was a nice lady.

She saved us.

She did her duty
right up to the end.

She taught me
how to make a fire.

Well, did she now?

In survival training.

What else did she teach you?

Which way's north.

And which way is it?

That way.

She taught you good.

Thanks.

If you need another hug...

just ask.

You okay?

Just thinking...
how many more people

are going to die before
this thing is over?

They're bringing
reinforcements.

They're going to bring back
more men and more equipment,

and they're going to keep
bringing them back,
whatever it takes.

We can't give up
hope, Jim. Okay?

'Cause that's what
this place is about.

It's about hope
and a second chance,

and we cannot let them
take that away from us.

All right?

I'm going to go
talk to Taylor.

Give him Wash's message.

Okay.

I missed you so much.

Me, too.

[animal howling]

Carnotaur.

It's okay. Perimeter's mined.

Besides, you can tell by
the call it's just a juvenile.

Actually, they may be smaller,

but juveniles are
even more vicious.

Kind of like hormonal
teenagers with claws.

Ooh.

Dad...

Don't mind me.

I'm just
passing through.

I got sentry duty.

I-I should get back.

Cu Lao Cham.

Wash told you to remind me

of Cu Lao Cham.

I don't know what it means.

Our unit was pinned down
on the island.

We were outnumbered
two-to-one.

Only way on or off was
a bridge to the mainland.

So we blew the bridge,
so they couldn't bring
anymore troops across.

So even though it was
your only way out,

you... you trapped
yourselves there.

Well, we figured two-to-one
was better than three-to-one,

so what the hell,
let's make our stand.

What happened?

I'm still here, aren't I?

[chuckles]

The portal.

That's Cu Lao Cham bridge.

As long as it's open, they'll
keep bringing forces back
till we're overwhelmed

and then they can start
strip-mining, plundering this
place for everything it's worth.

They'll k*ll this world just
as sure as they k*lled the
world we left behind.

Unless we blow
the bridge.

That's what Wash
was trying to tell us.

Uh, wait now.

Are you talking about
taking out Hope Plaza?

That I am.

Taylor, even if we could
find a way to do it,

we'd be cutting
ourselves off, too.

That means no more meds,
no more technology.

No more colonists.

A thousand people
is all we'd have to
restart civilization.

A thousand people...
that is a good round number.

This is our home.

If we have to cut ourselves off
from that future

in order to hold onto our home,

then we'll just have to survive
out here with what we've got.

We'll survive.

But first, let's kick some a*s.

Do you have any idea what a kilo
of this stuff is worth in 2149?

And we have

three containers of it just
sitting and gathering dust.

Not for long.

The terminus is fixed?

Malcolm Wallace
just told me.

That ore will be in our
employer's hands

before nightfall.

[laughing]

They are going to be
happy to hear that.

In fact, I might just take
a little trip to 2149.

Present it to them
in person.

Anything to get away from here,
even for a couple hours.

Excuse me, sir.
Yeah?

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Well, I've been thinking
a lot about what you
said the other day.

Mm-hmm.

If you're right that
your father's never

going to forgive me
for what I did,

then why bother?

If my loyalty means
nothing to him,

maybe I'm being loyal
to the wrong side.

Why does it have to be you, Jim?

Because I know Hope Plaza
better than anybody.

Besides, I broke into that
place once before, remember?

Yeah, but that was so you
could be with your family.

This could take you away
from us forever.

Elisabeth, you
said it yourself...

if we don't fight them,

then everything we've
sacrificed for,

the life we want for our kids,

will be taken away from us.

I'm not going
to let that happen.

How's it coming?

Good to go.

Let me show you how
to arm this thing.
Okay.

This one unlocks
the triggering mechanism,

and this one starts the timer.

MAN:
Incoming!

[r*fles c*ck]

REILLY: It's okay, boys.
It's one of ours.

That is disturbingly
convincing.

We think so.

TAYLOR:
Reynolds, Dunham, gather up.

Reilly,

you all set?
Yes, sir.

Good.

Your team... you set?
BOTH:
Yes, sir.

How about you, Commander?
Wasn't easy, but we
got the job done.

We move out in five minutes.

Jim.

Right.
All set here.

Now remember, inject it
as close to the heart

as possible, okay?

You sure it's enough?

This concentration...
it would k*ll three
men instantly.

Listen, I know you're worried.

Tell the kids...
Stop. Jim, don't. Just...

Whatever you're going
to say can wait till
you get back, okay?

'Cause you will come
back, won't you, Jim?

Always.

All good?
We're all set
to move out.

Whenever you're ready.
Okay.

Three's a crowd.

You heard the lady.

Yes, sir.

What? What is it?

What if I told you

I knew how to get in touch
with your father?

Wait, what are
you talking about?

You're heading back
to the colony? Why?

[static]
I got some new information
about my father.

I'm going to follow it up.
Say again.

I'm getting interference
from the terminus.

Something's come up.
I'll explain later.

Okay, what about the cargo
you were bringing?

I'll have someone else
drive it out to you. Lucas out.

So, you really ready to do this?

Lure my father
into an ambush?

Yeah, I'm ready.

All right.

Uh, for the ambush
part anyway.

Good to go.

Good luck.

All right. Get this
thing back to camp.

We need as many vehicles
as we can get.

Will do.

And just how
do you think

you're going to get
this thing started?

You don't know the code.

You know, I'd beat it
out of you, but, uh,

afraid you might like
that, dear brother.

Guess I'll just jack
the starter.

All right, we're ready.

Is that the cargo
from Lucas's truck?

Here it is.

REYNOLDS:
Lucas said to tell
you sorry if he

held you up, but,
uh, there was

something important
he had to do.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Hooper.

Scan this
into the manifest.

Let's get moving.

[electronic trilling]

[beeping]

Hang on.

Something's not
right here.

[electronic trilling]

[chimes]

Never mind.

We're good.

Let's get this cargo
moving, people.



[whooshing]

[whooshing]

[mechanical whirring]

[groans]

My father's going to destroy
the fracture, isn't he?

He's going to cut this place off
from 2149.

[sighs]

And I was so close
to beating him.

Mmm.

To taking it
all away.

Yeah.

Well, you win some,
you lose some.

[gasping]

And I like to win.

[grunts]

[mechanical whirring]

[clunking]

WEAVER:
Right this way,
gentlemen.

I'm happy to report
the first shipment

from Terra Nova
has arrived.

We now have a
two-way pipeline

to the most
plentiful world

mankind has
ever known.

[engine struggling to start]

Hooper, you there?

This is Hooper.
I'm not reading you.

The interference
is too strong.

Contact... Plaza.

[garbled transmission continues]

Not copying you. Over.

Hope Plaza is under attack.

They need to power down

and sever their link
to the fracture.

Otherwise,
we could lose it for good.

[static droning]

[static droning]

[beeps, expl*si*n booms]

What did you do?!
What?

What's happening?

[sighs]

The induction coils
are shorted.

Your men must have damaged them
when they moved it.

Can you fix it?

[blows]

Attaboy, Malcolm.

With the fracture
untethered,

where will Jim
appear when he

returns from Hope Plaza?

Well, he's going to
end up someplace else

when he comes back through,
but don't worry...

it'll be within three
klicks of right here.

I'm going to need
to go back

to the colony
and get replacements.

Well, hurry up, then.

[pulsating whooshing]

WEAVER:
Meteoric iron,

gentlemen.

Back there,
you can't spit

without hitting
the stuff.

We brought back
three containers.

Each one holds



[chuckles]

Gentlemen,
today you're rich.

Tomorrow...

well, it's just
going to be stupid.

MAN: What about
the other matter

we asked you
to look into?

The Badlands.

Yeah, we sent some people
out that way.

MAN:
And? Did you
find anything?

As a matter of fact, we did.

[electronic trilling]

Why don't you see
for yourselves?

[growling]

[roaring]

[roars]

[crunching,
squishing]

[panting]

Is it coming
this way?

What do we do?

It's all clear. Go.

[Carnotaur roaring]

[man screaming]

Help! Security!

We got a problem...
a big problem!

[footsteps approaching]

Move, move!

SKYE [over radio]:
Commander Taylor, come in.

It's Taylor.
Go ahead, Skye.

It's Lucas, sir... he got away.

Where is he now?

My guess is he's headed
your way,

towards the terminus.

He's on foot.

Copy that.

I'm on it. Out.

Hello, son.

Where you heading
in such a hurry?

I think we both know
the answer to that.

[groaning]

You drew blood.

Didn't think you had it in you.

Think again.

[grunting]

[beeping]

[whirring]

[rapid beeping]

[explosions booming]

[whooshing]

[panting]

For the first time,
I'm glad your mother is dead.

Don't.

She would be so...

ashamed of what you've become.

Don't say that.

It's true, boy.

You know it's true.

It wasn't my fault she died.

[crying]: It's not
my fault she...

Your fault she...?

Of course it wasn't.

My God, is that what you think?

Help me...

Just... forgive me.

Please.

It's not that simple.

Look, you've got to answer
for what you've done.

We all do.

Oh, Dad...

I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.

[sobbing]

I know.
You're still my son.

You're still my b...

[thud]
[groaning]

You arrogant fool.

Do you think I care

about your forgiveness?

It's you who should be
begging me for mine!

[shot fires]

[shot fires]

[gasps]

Oh, God!

Uh, don't move.

It's bad.

Lucas.

I'm sorry.

[alarm blaring]

Uh-uh-uh.

What the hell did you do?

Weaver...

You stupid
son of a b*tch.

Do you have any idea
what you've cost us?!

[g*n hammer c*ck]

[hissing]

[screams]

[growling]

[roaring]

[creature roaring in distance]

You think you can
get to your feet?

All right, here.

[grunting]

SKYE:
Oh, my God, he's gone.

[over radio]:
Still no sign of him.

A fracture reopened near here.

[indistinct radio transmission]

He's gotta be close.

Oh, come on, Jim.

Elisabeth.

[sobbing]

I told you
I'd be back.

What happened?

Hope Plaza...

it's gone.

They blew it to pieces.

What are you talking about?

We're stuck here...

...forever.

[creature squawks in distance]

[insects chirping]

Maybe it's just me,

but knowing we're cut off
from the future

makes this jungle seem
a whole lot bigger somehow.

Excuse me, Commander.

Dunham.

Just got a transmission
from the colony.

It's Boylan.

Boylan?

Boylan, this is Taylor.

Hello, Commander.
Good to hear your voice again.

You're taking a hell of a risk,
aren't you?

Contacting me on
an unsecured frequency?

There's no one listening.

In fact, there's no one here.

All those big-spending
new customers of mine?

They're all gone.

What's that, now?

Phoenix picked up
their operation

and rolled out 15 minutes ago.

The whole lot of 'em.

Hey, thanks for the heads up.

We'll be waiting.

Oh, no, not to worry.
They're not

coming your way.
They're headed north.

North?

Don't ask me why.

All I know is I've got an empty
bar that needs filling.

So hurry home, would ya?

[applause and cheering]

[cheering]

*

It's good to see you up here...
where you belong.

It's good
to be home.

Those b*stards left
a lot of scars.

JIM:
Yeah. Nothing we can't fix.

Shannon, that was
a hell of a thing

you pulled off
back in Hope Plaza.

Makes me kinda glad I didn't
run your a*s out the gates

the day you broke
into my colony.

[chuckles]

Commander.
Reynolds.

One of our RBs on
the northern perimeter

just spotted the
Phoenix convoy.

A dozen vehicles,
at least a hundred men.

Which way they heading?

We lost track of them
after they passed marker 33.

Looked like they were heading
toward the Badlands.

Badlands?

Why the hell would
they go there?

There's nothing
out there.

Wish I could tell you, sir.

Badlands. Weaver shipped
something

he found out there
back to Hope Plaza.

At least he was going
to, anyway,

if we hadn't switched out
the containers.

I overheard them
talking about it.

Did he say what it was?

Not before he got
a face full of Carno.

Let's track down
that container.

Let's get it out of there,
see what it is.

What is it?
It looks like a statue.

It's not a statue.

It's the prow
of a ship.

It's old.


the looks of it.

How the hell did a ship
from any century

end up in the Badlands?

How did it even end up
in this time period?

Well, it didn't come
through Hope Plaza,
that's for sure.

However it got here,

it kinda makes you wonder

what else is out
in the Badlands waiting for us?

What bothers me is why
Phoenix headed out there

the minute they realized
they were cut off from 2149.

JIM: Taylor wants to keep this
under wraps until we know more.

And I think that's
the right way to go.

That's fine by me.
To be honest with you,

I don't even want
to think about

what it all
might mean right now.

I'm just really
glad we're safe.

Me, too.
Yeah.

JIM:
What are they looking at?

Hey, what are you
looking at?

Maddy claims there's
a meteor shower tonight.

Nothing so far, though.

Maybe I got
my calculations wrong.

Zoe, do you want to go inside
and help me run them again?

The kid's been through enough.

Wait. One's coming.
I know it.

Okay...

Told you!

Oh, you called it, Zoe.
