Previously on Revolution...
Everyone's gonna be at the concert at the courthouse.
They're gonna have their Pearl Harbor.
Use that gas to kill everyobody.
Oh my God.
I wish you hadn't seen this.
What are you gonna do?
You're gonna run straight into 1,000 tons of mustard gas.
If we don't, patriots win it all.
- Connor, let's go. - I didn't sign up for suicide.
I'll deal with you later.
Aaron?
She's here. She's seen everything.
- You might as well tell her. - Tell me what?
Priscilla's the nano.
You can't fight it. It knows everything.
Might as well be God.
We're gonna save Priscilla.
- Girls? - Yeah?
Are we seriously having French toast for dinner again?
- Please? - Please, mom?
At least we know who's in charge here.
She okay?
She's alive.
Priscilla, listen to me. I know you're in there.
You have to fight this. You have to wake up.
I did it once. You can too.
Please.
Priscilla, wake up.
Did you really think that would work?
Now I'm really angry.
Priscilla, please wake up!
Why would she want to?
She's with her daughters right now.
Inside her head, she's happy.
You're weaker.
You are weaker.
You have to wake yourself up!
Wake up!
You are dreaming!
Do you hear that?
We don't hear anything.
You know, Aaron, you really don't make any sense.
You try to hurt me
when I've done nothing but show you boundless compassion.
Priscilla,
- if you are in there... - It's...
If you can hear me...
I love you.
You are the love of my life.
Aaron.
But I need you to come back to me.
Mom, where are you going?
What is this?
Come back to me.
- You're not real. - Of course we are.
- We love you. - No, I'm dreaming.
- Of course we are. - We love you. We love you.
No, mommy! Don't leave!
- I gotta wake up. - You have to wake yourself up!
- I gotta wake up! - Wake up!
I gotta wake up!
Priscilla.
I was with my girls.
I heard you.
I heard you in there.
They were so real.
I know. I know.
I'm sorry.
God bless our heroes, the Republic of Texas...
and may God bless the United States of America.
Sir?
Won't be a minute, Bill.
All right, guys, find that gas now.
Run, you idiots!
No! No! You'll hit the tanks.
That sound right to you, Ed?
- Come on, everybody, move! - This way, come on.
Come on. Everybody out.
Let's go.
Oh, God.
No.
Marion!
No, no.
Grandpa.
We gotta go.
Somebody wanna tell me what the hell's going on here?
General, we set up these evac points for a reason.
- You're safe here. - Yes.
And thank God we're all safe.
That was Matheson and Monroe back there, wasn't it?
Hard to say for sure, Mr. President.
It was your job to handle them
so that something like this wouldn't happen, Ed.
You and me
we're gonna have a very short conversation about your future.
What's going on, Ed?
Plan "B."
And we can just thank god the tragedy wasn't worse.
Miles Matheson and Sebastian Monroe,
together with their California collaborators,
had one goal-- to wipe Willoughby off the map.
Thanks to our brave soldiers, the cowards failed.
But we suffered a terrible blow.
General Bill Carver, president of Taxas
and my friend,
was shot down in cold blood
by Matheson, Monroe, and no doubt California.
We've alerted the government in Austin, and in response,
they have declared war on the California commonwealth.
This is a right and just war.
Meanwhile, Ed Truman here...
who lost his fiancee Marion Reilly--
Condolences, Ed-- is leaving for the front
where he will advise Texas any way he can.
With the lord's help,
Texas will push California into the Pacific,
where those granola-eating heathens will drown.
Until then, God bless Willoughby,
all of Texas,
and may God bless the United States of America.
U.S.A.!
I'm sorry about Marion.
She was scared. She didn't wanna go back to him.
I made her.
I made her go back.
Is she gonna be okay? She's burning up.
She was strong enough to fight off the nano, Aaron.
She's strong enough to get through this.
No luck?
What the hell does it look like?
My kid's out there in the wind with Neville.
What could possibly go wrong?
You gotta be kidding me, right?
So these idiots are gonna go to war anyway?
That whole hero act back in town, that was...
for nothing.
I abandoned my kid...
for nothing.
I don't know, you saved a couple hundred people.
They're dead anyway, Rachel.
Here's what happens next.
Texas rips into California.
California, they rip right back.
And then for the encore
the patriots waltz in and they mop up the rest.
The whole country is their sandbox.
Boot camps and eye tats
and typhus, oh, my!
That's the ball game, folks!
Done!
But let's not bury the lead here, right?
'cause their president's still in Willoughby.
So if we can't win this war,
then we're gonna get that son of a bitch,
and we're gonna take him out right now.
- We can still stop it. - How?
When it comes to acts of congress,
Texas doesn't exactly take mulligans, Miles.
We're not gonna kill the president.
We're gonna kidnap him.
All I'm saying is I think we should get my dad.
And just why do you think that?
Figure if we're gonna kill the president,
might be helpful to have him along.
You mean if Miles gives him the okay.
I don't have a boatload of confidence
in your father right now, and neither should you.
This Jack Davis--
he ripped my family to shreds,
and he is mine to kill.
And no one-- not Miles or your father--
is gonna stand in my way, are we clear?
All right, Gene.
Man's name is General Frank Blanchard.
He's a friend, kind of.
That is, if he's still alive.
Get to Austin, you tell him the president of the United States
is coming with a confession.
He just needs to make sure Texas is there to listen.
You need at least three good people.
- Got it. - I'm serious, Joe.
I said I got it. My word's good.
We're doing this for Marion.
And for Jason.
And for everyone else these sons of bitches have taken.
You know who makes speeches like that?
People who are about to die.
Good point.
Son of a bitch gotta come this way
to catch his train.
When he hits that bend,
rain hell down on him.
And don't quit pulling those triggers till I say.
We'll be at the train yard in less than 20.
It's been two hours. I gotta pee.
- Hold it. - Maybe he's not coming.
You gotta be kidding me.
He's gone.
Let's go! Ride! Go!
Why's he looking at you like that?
Because he knows me.
Oh, hell. Let's go, let's go! Come on!
Bass!
Take him and go.
I'll hold 'em off. Meet me at the rendezvous.
Bass...
I'm trusting you.
Go.
Time to go. Let's go!
Where's the president?
Where's Monroe?
Come on.
W- where's the other guy?
Or that nurse with the bedside manner?
Relax. Relax, General.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm a friend of Miles Matheson.
- He needs your help. - With what?
Stopping the war.
Look at this.
Carver's muerte.
There's no stopping the war now.
I don't care what Miles is thinking.
Well, you haven't heard what he's thinking yet, have you?
I know what you're thinking.
No, you don't know what I'm thinking.
Don't worry.
Bass will be there with the president.
Okay, you know what I'm thinking.
How can you be so sure?
I'm trying something new-- prayer.
I'm serious.
You spent weeks with him, just you two.
He comes through sometimes, right?
He's unpredictable-- last 24 hours,
he sucker-punched us and tried to steal our train.
Well, he also followed me
into a cloud of mustard gas,
Just to back my play.
That's who he is too.
Y'all want me to have faith, hope, right?
Little sunshine coming out my ass?
I've known him longer than anybody.
I'm choosing to have faith in him right now.
Wanna know what I'm thinking now?
Not really.
Get in. Go.
I'm gonna go get water.
Don't go anywhere.
Can I talk to you first?
I just thought a formal introduction was in order,
President Monroe.
I know a lot about you.
I gotta admit, I'm impressed.
You know how to play the game.
But speaking as one leader to another...
This is ridiculous.
You know that.
You've already lost.
Mr. President,
you know, I gotta say,
I admire you too.
This, uh, God bless America routine,
that--genius.
I am a fan.
And you're right.
We probably have already lost.
But if that's true...
Then I still get to cut your throat
and watch you bleed to death.
So speaking as one leader to another,
that is a hell of a consolation prize.
- Neville with you? - Yep.
Out there.
Scanlon too.
Both of them have you in their sights.
Neville's ready to blow you away.
Why hasn't he?
Because I asked him for five minutes
because I know you're gonna make the right decision here.
What the hell are you doing,
keeping the president alive in there?
I know it's insane, Connor,
but he's the last chance we've got to stop the war.
And why would we wanna do that?
We let Texas and California tear each other apart.
That's the west coast.
Kill the president,
that puts a big dent in the east coast.
All makes it easier for us
to get the republic back.
Doesn't it?
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah.
You're smart.
And we should.
Then what are we waiting for?
I can't.
- Damn it, I can't. - Why the hell not?
Because Miles trusted me.
Who knows why, after all we've been through?
But he did, and I don't know, that...
That means something to me, okay?
I don't know how else to say it.
I trusted you.
I threw my life away for you!
- Connor, please. - And Miles?
He's not your blood.
I am.
I'm your son.
You promised me a future.
And I'm gonna give it to you, I promise you.
I'm gonna give it to you, all of it--
The republic, everything-- but just not like this.
Connor, please.
Just come with me, all right?
It doesn't have to be like this.
You have my word.
Your word
doesn't mean piss!
They'll show.
Do you hear that?
Get off.
Any problems?
Nothing I couldn't handle.
Water the horses. We're out in ten.
Be riding all night.
Bass...
Thanks.
I know you remember me.
You were my boss' boss, after all.
I actually went to a party at your house once.
Company thing. It was a barbecue.
Fourth of July-- do you see the...
the irony in that?
And look at us now.
What I need to say
from the bottom of my heart...
is screw you.
Screw you for everything you're trying to do
to this country.
You are an insult to the true America.
Rachel, time to go.
You and Randall Flynn--
You cost me everything.
And we're gonna make you pay.
On the ground!
Are you all right, sir?
Much better now, son. You are a sight for sore eyes.
Where's the rest of your squad?
Two clicks back, sir. On their way.
Excellent work, soldier. All of you!
You have my gratitude.
Did you really think that you could shanghai
the president of the United States?
President?
Please.
You are a lying car salesman.
And sooner or later,
people will figure out the truth.
The truth?
Americans don't want the truth.
Americans wanna feel safe.
And they'll hand over control to anyone
who will give them that,
and that is why I can...
rape Texas and destroy California,
and everyone will just smile and say thanks.
I'm an insult to the real America.
Lady, I am America.
Shoot these traitors.
What are you waiting for?
Sorry about the, uh, you know...
Had to make it look authentic.
Yeah, you're a real Meryl Streep.
We can't get you to Austin,
we get Austin to you.
Proof enough for you?
Every word.
General, I can explain.
They coerced me.
You think this is over?
This isn't over.
Well, have a nice trip, sweetheart.
Enjoy all the torture.
Good morning, General.
What is this?
I'd say it's the end of a treaty.
You kill every patriot you see, you hear me?
Hey, find Truman?
No.
And I don't care.
Sorry?
Texas just declared war on the U.S.
We outnumber the patriots four to one.
We should wipe 'em out by summer's end.
And we're gonna start in Willoughby.
How would you like your town back?
I'd like that very much.
Thank you.
I'd say this calls for a drink.
What?
What happens when summer's over?
We win.
What?
All right, you're clearly not gonna say it,
so I will.
I think you and my mom should give it a shot.
A real one.
- Give what a shot? - Don't be an idiot.
Look, I wish things could've been different for me and Jason.
And now I'll never get the chance.
You love her, she loves you.
It's kind of an open secret.
You guys deserve to run off and be happy together.
I'm glad it's you, Miles.
I want it to be you.
Aaron.
I'm right here.
You saved me.
You mostly saved yourself. I was just there for the assist.
What is it?
Tell me.
When I was coming back to you, I saw something.
Saw what?
A nano.
When it was leaving me,
I saw what it was thinking.
Do I wanna know?
I saw millions of people, mindless,
swarming like ants or fireflies.
Aaron, it wants to control everybody,
the whole world.
But I can tell you this.
If you and I won't help it,
it's gonna find people who will.
Dad?
Ed.
I want you to leave the patriots and head North
to a town in Idaho.
I need you to go somewhere, Ed.
A place called Bradbury, Idaho.
Bradbury, Idaho?
I don't understand.
That makes no sense.
When you get there, it's all gonna make sense.
You have a higher calling now.
God has chosen you.
Can you remember that?
I need you to do this... for me.
The nano are gonna make the patriots
look like boy scouts.
And there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Aaron.
And it all starts with this...
This grinning man.
What grinning man? What does that mean?
