Revolution

Previously on Revolution...

Listen to me very carefully.

It's gonna turn off and it will never turn back on.

What's gonna turn off?

Excuse me. You're Uncle Miles?

Monroe thinks your dad knew something.

What?

Why the lights went out. Maybe how to turn them back on.

That would mean tanks and planes.

He'd steamroll the entire continent.

This is what caused the blackout?

Nanotechnology.

Each one is the size of a virus.

They're everywhere.

They just started reproducing out of control.

We ended the world, Aaron.

You know where this place is, this tower?

If I can get there I can turn the power back on.

Look out for Charlie.

You need to take better care of her

than you ever took of me.

We have to turn the lights on.

She turns the power on, maybe she saves the world.

Or maybe she sets it on fire.

Aaron, do it.

It worked.

It's time to go home, Mr. President.

Randall, what are you doing?

No!

Launching lCBM's at Atlanta and Philadelphia.

I'm a patriot.

No!

20, 19, 18,

17,16,15,14.

What do you mean, you want to turn the power back off?

We have to, we have to knock out missile guidance, hurry.

11, 10, 9, Aaron!

I'm trying!

- Aaron, now. - Eight, seven, six!

So out of nowhere, the power flips on.

That Wurlitzer over there roars to life,

plays "Ramble On" for, like, four whole minutes,

and then just goes dark.

And people cried.

They said it...

They said it was like hearing the voice of God.

You want to know where I was?

Passed out.

I missed the whole damn thing. Story of my life.

What about you? Where were you during the Surge?

Jeff, right?

Yeah.

No offense, Jeff, but trust me.

The last thing I want to talk about is the power.

Well, I'm sorry.

What do you want to talk about?

What happened to your hand?

What's gotten into Stu?

It's never easy to say.

Thanks, Doc.

It's been months, but it still stings like a mother.

He's the doctor. I'm just helping out.

Oh, I'd be lost without her.

Sorry

What's this?

Nylon.

My jacket melted onto my skin.

That's some burn.

I was 30 miles from Atlanta when the bomb dropped.

Really?

Sergeant Neil Gibson, Georgia Federation.

Retired.

What's it like back east?

Rachel, leave the poor man alone.

Dad.

I'd like to know.

Atlanta and Philly are gone.

They're just dead zones 'cause of the fallout.

Who knows how many casualties.

Lot of the troops, Georgian and Monroe,

they're just kind of wandering.

They're not fighting.

At least, well, except to stay alive.

You should be glad you're out here.

I know I am.

Have you seen this woman?

Dad, come on.

We can pick this up in the morning.

It's a dumb accident.

I was slicing an apple.

Well, try not to get yourself killed.

Good night.

Got any anesthetic?

Fresh out.

You know,

you should've seen Rachel when she was a kid.

All black nail polish and attitude

and a finely tuned compass for the wrong guy.

I mean, it was uncanny.

Pot dealers, drummers.

My favorite one

carried throwing stars like a ninja.

Then she met Ben.

He's a kind man.

Smart, for a change.

And I thought,

thank God, she's finally turned a corner.

Until I went to her wedding.

And when no one else was looking,

I saw the way she glanced at you.

Gene, there's nothing going on between me and Rachel.

Right.

And it never did, huh, Miles?

Not when she was married to your brother.

Your brother.

Look.

I owe you for bringing my girl home to me.

I'm pissed that you let Charlie go,

but I owe you for Rachel.

But the thing is, she's getting better now...

...better every day.

And the last thing Rachel needs...

...is the wrong guy.

So where are you headed?

Nowhere in particular, just sort of seeing the sights.

Yeah, but you got anybody?

I mean, you got any family to get back to?

Nah, I don't have any family.

Can't go back to your unit.

They're probably scattered like all the others.

I didn't notice till morning.

Hey, it's okay.

Look. Brothers in arms.

I was conscripted for a few years myself.

Hey, you know,

I saw him a few weeks ago.

Who?

Monroe.

Yeah.

He looked like cold hell warmed over too.

Which way did he go?

"A house divided against itself cannot stand."

Randall, just stop.

Now there's no turning back.

I'm a patriot, Rachel.

No!

It was that Georgian soldier, wasn't it?

I'm fine.

Yeah, you look it.

How about we put the big book of crazy away?

What was Randall doing?

It's like, it's like there's a picture, Dad,

and I'm just scratching at the edges of it.

Stop.

Sweetheart...

...these last few months haven't been easy for you,

and they scared the piss out of me.

You barely got your head straight again.

So please,

don't go looking for a relapse.

That guy, Randall, was just some Tim McVeigh whack job.

Unless there's more to it than that.

Unless he was following orders.

Orders.

From who?

It's okay.

I'm just surprised. That's all.

Well, I mean, you're better now, right?

You're not nuts anymore.

Nice, Miles.

I'm fine.

And I appreciate...

...you looking after me.

It's just, why leave now, all of a sudden?

This town's just not my speed, you know what I mean?

I'll see you around, all right?

Yeah. Sure.

Bye, Miles.

Hey.

You could stay just a little longer.

And bad things happen when we're together.

They said they know you.

I don't believe it.

Gene.

It's been a long time.

Grandpa.

My God.

Charlie?

Look at you.

Spitting image of your grandma.

Hey, Gene?

What are you doing here?

You must have come 1,000 miles.

I was just hoping to hell you still lived here,

that you were still alive.

I... I didn't know where else to go.

Rachel?

It's my fault, Dad.

The bombs.

I broke everything.
