Revolution

Previous on Revolution...

I'm guessing Miles is with your mom.

You're gonna go warn him and I'm coming with you.

- Excuse me? - Your family could use my help.

What? What do they want with my mom?

Rachel, this is Ed Truman, U.S. government.

They took out half of Titus's guys.

I'm just glad we got here when we did.

I'm sorry, but you come out of nowhere,

you call yourself United States.

I'm curious. I'm a Patriot, Rachel.

Can't have you strolling around telling everybody our secrets.

Aah!

We're working for the Patriots.

- So what now? - Bleed red, white, and blue

until we climb to the top

and kill them all for your mother.

- We'll keep you close. - What about my son?

Well, we have a very special plan for him,

if you don't have a problem with it.

Whatever it takes.

Something's happening outside the wall.

I'm gonna find out.

- Hold it! - Don't get cute.

What the hell is happening to me?

- What do we do? - Well, this is an occupation.

Every good occupation deserves a resistance.

Well...

God bless America.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm going to find my mom.

They might already have her.

Charlie, they have the town.

We got to be smart, scope it out first.

- Hyah! - Who the hell is that?

Our men from the train yard had that happen to them...

Sir.

What in the holy hell?

No accelerant.

They just lit up like a match.

Send the bodies to horn.

So, how well did we bury Ken?

I scrubbed the blood, wiped down the scene.

I think I covered it.

What?

You're a complicated woman.

Yeah.

Miles.

Were you at a rail road or something last night?

Well, uh, it's kind of a long story.

You might want to take a seat.

You jumped a chain-link fence,

and two guys had guns on you,

and then they burst into flame.

How do you know that?

Because I saw it.

Saw it? Aaron, you were nowhere near it.

I saw it... and I'm pretty sure I did it.

What the hell are you talking about?

Tell him.

- You think it's the nanotech? - What else could it be?

But it would have to network images into your head.

It would have to obey orders.

They're not designed for anything close to that.

That doesn't change the fact that it happened.

Hey, everybody...

can we... dial back the crazy just a little bit?

Now what?

Who are they?

Those are the Texas Rangers.

Which one of you is Truman?

I am.

Director Edward Truman with the U.S. government.

U.S. government? Right.

Well, I'm John Franklin Fry,

Secretary of the Interior of the great nation of Texas.

And you are an armed force on our sovereign soil.

You got a reason why I shouldn't cut you down where you stand?

Gotta love Texas.

Put down your weapons!

Last thing we want is a fight.

I'm the one who wrote the letter that we were here.

Yeah, we got your letter.

Politeness doesn't change the facts.

We saved this town from the Andover clan.

I'm just asking for a chance to explain.

You know that guy, Miles?

Back when Texas and the Monroe Republic were squabbling,

I sort of tried to kill him.

Oh... good.

Hopefully he's over it by now 'cause he's our best shot.

At what?

Starting a war with the Patriots.

I repeat, you can only board the wagon

if you have a voucher!

You can only board the wagon if you have a voucher!

Okay! Okay! Everybody! Everybody!

This one is full! This one is full!

There will be more slots available soon!

There will be more slots available soon.

Where are they going?

We built a new camp up in Perrysburg.

Artesian Wells, closed sewers.

It's the hot new ticket in town.

Uh-huh. You sent for me?

I've been called up to D.C., and my security detail's

a bit undermanned at the moment, so you're coming with.

I'm... glad to have your trust.

You don't have my trust.

You have my orders.

We leave in an hour.

Yes, ma'am.

And so if you could spend a day or two here,

see our intentions are pure?

No offense, but I'd rather crawl naked through cut glass.

I'm leaving for Austin at first light.

But I'll talk to the General.

That's all I can promise.

That's all I can ask.

Dick.

While they're here, open the gates,

stop the patrols.

And whoever got into that train yard last night,

find them before they talk to Texas.

You hear me?

Excuse me.

This is from a friend.

Hey, John.

You got my message?

Miles?

What the hell are you doing here?

It would help if you called me "Stu Redman."

Bastard.

"Redman."

You tried to kill me.

I could have you executed on the spot.

War is hell.

But you got bigger problems right now.

We both do.

And you know it.

Let me guess.

They told you they were staying around

just long enough to mop up what's left of the Andover clan.

They're just good neighbors...

helping a town that needs it.

They'll move back north soon as it's all over.

You know that's complete and utter crap, right?

Whoever they are, John, they're not America.

They're dangerous.

Look, I get it.

I don't think you do.

They sicced the Andovers on us.

They dropped the bombs on Atlanta and Philly.

They're invading.

They're sure as hell not gonna stop at your doorstep.

But Texas is an 800-pound gorilla...

in a stetson.

You can stem the tide right here.

You just gotta tell the general to send everything he's got.

I need proof that they're lying,

that they're as bad as you say.

What proof? They're already here.

Miles, we got 70% of our troops

already committed to the Southern border.

You want me to open a second front

on the say-so of a known war criminal?

Look, I'm not an idiot.

I know these "Patriots" are land-grabbing back east

and in the plains nation, but the boss wants a treaty,

not a war.

Then he's a moron.

But he's still my boss,

and I've got my orders.

I can't go to him without hard proof.

Midnight tonight...

Lasky's Mill, up the river.

You meet me there, you'll have your proof.

And John, these Patriots?

They got eyes and ears everywhere.

Gotta come alone.

So I should just trust you?

Yeah, you should.

Miles.

Charlie, hey.

Found it on a bounty hunter up... in the plains.

I don't get it. If the Patriots want Rachel,

why haven't they just come and grabbed her?

You tell me.

Well, you picked a hell of a time to come back.

Pretty sure we're in some real trouble.

What? You kidding?

That's why I came back.

To save your asses.

Okay.

I missed you, kid.

Well, let's go show this to your mom.

Hold on.

Come with me first.

I wanna show you something.

What? Why?
