Previously on Revolution.
This is Miles Matheson, commanding general of the Monroe Militia
the second only to Sebastian Monroe himself.
We have light, power and it's time for everyone to know,
starting with the rebels.
And once that irritation is done, it's on to Georgia.
You want to take down Monroe,
you got to hit hard.
I'm gonna help you. I'm with the rebels.
There's still no word from Neville.
Whatever happened, he's failed.
I'll make the pickup.
That's Randall Flynn.
the man is selling Randall a bomb.
- Like nuclear? - How are we supposed to fight that?
Charlie, I have to leave.
Why?
There's this place. It's called The Tower.
I'm going to turn the power back on for everybody.
Wait! Isn't there at least a little chance I'll see you again?
Charlie, I'm not coming back.
Honestly, general, we're still piecing it together but
it seems like Major Neville and his wife fled the city last night.
Why would he do that?
We received some intel.
A few of our spies have spotted someone that we think
May be Major Neville's son, Jason.
- His... son? - Yes, sir.
Sit.
His son's dead.
According to all reports, he's with the rebels now.
Well that means Major Neville has been lying to me for a while now.
I wonder what else he's been lying to me about.
Clearly I've been too kind.
Too trusting, right?
So Major Neville he never...
told you about any of this?
No. No, sir, never.
It's just that you were his... most trusted aide.
He trained you, right?
Well, sir, that doesn't mean I was ever privy to any of his...
No.
I used to hear you two just wispering.
[Whispering] Whispering like uh...
like housewives.
How do I know I can trust you, captain.
How do I know that you won't betray me too?
Major Neville was a traitor.
I'm loyal to you.
I'm sure that's true.
Come on down. I got you.
Medic! Need a medic.
Relax, you'll be okay. You'll be okay.
Four of our spies died getting that here.
- Miles, what do we do? - What is it?
Monroe... sent the nuke to Atlanta.
[Miles]: A three-man strike team smuggled it across the border at Clarksville.
Charlie]: When?
[Miles]: A day ago, maybe two.
[Nora]: You think Monroe's crazy enough to use it?
[Miles]: If Georgia doesn't surrender...
yeah, I do.
If we could find it in time, do you think
could you disarm it?
I don't know.
I'll give it a shot.
Your confidence is overwhelming.
You're in too.
Your mom told me to take care of you,
so I figured I'd drag you in front of a nuclear weapon.
Pack your crap. We're going to Georgia.
So, this woman we're looking for...
Dr. Warren.
She can get us into the tower?
She knows the place better than me.
[Chuckles] Better than anyone.
We need her.
[Zipper zips] All clear!
What?
I've never left the Monroe Republic.
My God, you're a hick.
Let's go!
Come on!
[Electricity crackling]
[Generator whining]

[Steam whistle toots]
Steam engines. That's just for starters.
Georgia Federation... Whole different world.
What do you mean?
Well, they're filthy rich, for one thing.
They got warm weather, lots of crops.
Heard they even started trading with Europe.
Mint juleps and plantations.
Wait till you see Atlanta. It's beautiful.
Yeah, it's not like back home. Nobody's covered in crap.
It's got a pretty serious gate, Miles.
How we gonna get through?
Well, we can't. Three soldiers can.
Just gotta look the part. Come on.
Okay... Knock on the door,
bat your eyelashes.
When soldier boy answers, you... cut his throat.
[Lock splinters]
[Coughs] Ugh.
[Flies buzzing]
No sign of struggle.
Perfect head shot.
Monroe's guys must have done this.
[Flies buzzing]
They had the same idea we did.
Cleared out the spare uniforms.
Then we'll take these uniforms.
Weapons too.
Miles?
I've seen this knife before.
Whose is it?
Mine.
Alec.
He was here. He did this.
You don't know that.
Same route I would have taken.
That's the move I would have made.
It's him. [Knife thuds]
- Miles... wait! - Charlie.
- Give him a minute. - What's going on?
Who's Alec?
Remember the first time we met?
Right outside this bar.
[Laughs] Hey...
Did you ever think that kid would make captain?
No, that kid was an idiot.
But...
I've gotta say...
Grew into a pretty fine soldier.
That's 'cause I learned from one.
I ever tell you where this knife came from?
No.
My grandfather carved the handle himself.
Took it with him to Korea.
When he made it back in one piece,
that made the knife a good luck charm.
So...
When my dad shipped out for Vietnam,
he took it with him.
He made it back home too, which made the damn thing
miracle lucky.
Here.
Make sure you always come back alive.
Miles, I can't take this.
I...I-I don't want this.
One day, maybe your son will.
[Bird caws]
Oh, great, this isn't super creepy at all.
Your friend lives out here?
Jane can be odd.
So when we find her,
try not to set her off or make eye contact.
Okay.
You folks lost?
Just passing through.
You know, there's a toll on this road.
Well, whatever you want. I just...
That's mighty kind of you.
- Get your hands off me! - Not just yet!
Come on, sweetheart. We're gonna have a good time.
[Coughs]
What's the matter with you?
I don't know. I'm burning up!
What the hell?
[Panting, coughing]
- [Grunts] - Stay there!
[Grunts]
[Both panting, choking]
Aah!
[Screams]
[Panting]
Jane.
Rachel.
What are you doing out here?
I came to see you.
Really? Why's that?
Um, hi. Sorry.
Are we just not going to talk about
the magically charred bodies, or...
- Who's this? - A friend.
He knows.
It's not magic, but it might as well be.
Must be what God feels like.
Come back to the house. We've got sandwiches.
[Whispering] I am not hungry anymore.
[Background chatter]
Okay, we search here.
Alec is gonna spill as much innocent blood as possible.
How do you know?
'Cause that's how I taught him.
Flashlights?
One of those pendants powers the nuke,
which means it will power anything else in its range.
[Grunts]
Hey, Miles.
Alec.
How long you been back in Philly?
About a year.
You know, Monroe said you might come looking for it.
Did you get my message?
Well... turns out it wasn't so lucky for me after all.
Alec, what I did to you...
Hey...
It was for the good of the Republic, right?
[Both grunting]
Aah!
[Both grunting]
- Ah! - Ah!
C'mon, old man!
[Crossbow twangs] [Groans]
Miles?
Miles!
Go. Go! He's got the nuke!
Out of my way!
[Woman screams]
Move!
[Shouting indistinctly]
Aah!
Go that way.
- Oh! - Oh!
Hey!
Alec, come on.
You think I care if you kill some cop?
- [Grunts] - See, that's the thing, Miles.
I didn't kill him.
You did.
Alec [Gunshot]
You! Don't move!
What now?
We'll never find Alec or that bomb without Miles.
How we gonna get him out?
Let's take a look.
Beth, I've got a surprise for you.
Rachel Matheson. Oh, my God.
Ohh.
[Chuckles]
You look wonderful.
Well, what are you doing out here?
Um, just traveling through, uh, on our way to Colorado.
Well, that's quite a trip. What's in Colorado?
Unfinished business.
Uh, Beth, why don't you
give this chubby gentleman some lunch?
- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.
Rachel... some fresh air?
Why would you go to the tower?
You know why, Jane.
We need to turn the power back on... for everyone.
You're going to destroy the nanites.
And I need your help to do it.
[Whispering] Even though they're keeping your son alive?
What happened?
Something not even your little machines could fix.
- Randall is in the tower. - Oh.
- God knows what he can do. - Oh, please.
What could Randall possibly do to me?
This is bigger than what happens to you and me.
The person I love most on this planet
is in her 16th year of stage four cancer.
She's a miracle.
Those nanites are inside of her,
eating away at her tumors,
just like they were inside of Danny.
They do more than keep the power off.
I know.
I know what I'm asking.
I don't think you do.
Either that or you don't care.
You short-circuit the nanites, all of them,
everywhere, and Beth dies.
You flip the switch at the tower,
and you flip the switch on her too.
- Jane... - Rachel.
I strongly suggest that you drop this.
Gotta admit, you're a pretty good shot.
[Both grunt]
What are you, huh? Huh?
Miles's new sidekick?
See, I feel for you.
Hell, I'm here to warn you... About Miles.
- Oh, really? - Sure.
I mean, you're the new me, aren't you?
Huh? Aren't you?
I was right where you're standing.
My guess is you got no one else, huh?
Orphan probably.
And then there's Miles, with the swagger
and the sword tricks.
And you want to learn from him.
And eventually you think you mean something to him, hmm?
But you don't.
He could give a crap about you.
You're a means to an end.
You're meat for the grinder.
He wouldn't do that to me.
What makes you so special, princess?
He's my uncle, for one.
Really?
You're Rachel Matheson's daughter.
You know what Miles did to her?
You don't think he'd hurt you? Huh?
[Helicopter blades whirring]
Ask him what he did to your mom sometime.
[Both grunt]
What is it?
[Chatter in background]
[Breathing raggedly]
Miles Matheson.
Madam President.
May I just say...
That was a crap-load of stairs.
Charming as ever.
I suppose you're gonna tell me
you didn't kill that policeman.
Nope.
But the man who did, he's your problem.
Oh, he's a hell of a problem.
Little mash note from Sebastian.
"Dear citizens, our fight is not with you.
It is with your leaders who insist upon war."
If the Georgia Federation does not offer
an unconditional surrender by midnight tonight,
he's going to detonate a nuke.
You must have heard he got power.
Mm hmm.
But a nuclear bomb?
And he's deranged enough to use it.
Kelly...
He wants your real estate.
You know that.
Let me out of here.
I can help.
I should trust you?
Miles...
I should slit you wide open.
You killed how many of my troops?
- That was a long time ago. - Oh.
And what about what you did to me, personally?
Kelly...
The guy who brought this bomb here,
I trained him.
I can stop him.
And hell, if I'm wrong,
we're all in the same dust cloud anyway.
[Alarm wails] You saw Alec?
Go, go, go!
What happened? What did he say?
He didn't say anything, all right?
We don't have a lot of time.
- How are we gonna get Miles? - Maybe we don't.
Maybe we just gotta find that bomb.
Well, thank you, Nora. I appreciate the loyalty.
Come on, I've been looking all over for you guys.
[Panicked chatter, screams]
Miles, you think the bomb is here?
Alec's gonna detonate where the people are.
They're not in the city anymore.
They're here. It's gonna be here.
Alec.
Welcome home.
How did the job go?
Smooth.
No, Alec, it didn't.
General Blanchard survived.
No. No, no, no, no, no. I... listen...
You winged him...
And he made the shooter.
We can't afford to go to war with Texas.
You know that.
I've gotta give 'em something.
- Miles. - He saw your face.
You know what they will do to me.
You know! Miles...
We can't go to war.
We won't win.
Miles.
This is the job.
[Scoffs] The job?
[Door opens] After everything...
It's about the job? Miles, okay...
Miles... hey, get off me!
Miles, if I mean anything to you, please don't do this.
I can fix this. If we just...
If you just give... All right, look,
just a little bit more time. We can fix this, Miles!
Miles?
[Door closes]
[Panicked chatter, screams]
Hey! Come on!
- [Screams] - Go, go, go!
Rachel.
Rachel, what do you think you're doing?
We have killed too many people.
We have to stop this thing.
This thing kept your son alive.
And only now...
Now you're asking me to sacrifice my family?
My son is not alive.
I did awful things
for him, and...
He's dead.
Non... none of it mattered.
And you're saying to save him,
you wouldn't have done it all again?
No.
I wouldn't. I would...
[Sighs]
I would hate myself. No.
- I don't believe you. - Jane...
I am so disappointed in you, Rachel.
Don't.
Jane.
- Is this true? - Beth, please listen.
This whole time, you've known how to turn the power back on?
If I do it...
You will die.
- Give her what she wants. - Beth, no.
If you don't help her,
I swear I will slash my wrists...
Then you won't have anything to worry about.
[Whispering] Give her what she wants.
This will tell you everything you need to know.
Get out.
And don't come back.
So, they let you go, huh?
You really gonna blow yourself up?
All those people out there?
[Grunting]
That's the job, Miles.
Job comes first.
[Bomb humming] That's what you taught me.
Yeah, I was wrong.
See, now that doesn't sound
like the general Matheson I know.
I'm trying really hard not to be him.
No.
You were right.
See, it took me a while...
To figure it out.
But you had to give me up.
Or it would have been war.
No.
I should have been looking out for you.
I should have protected you.
No!
Don't tell me that.
You sent me to Texas, man.
Miles, all... all those years.
And I did it.
Oh, I did it. I did it for the Republic.
I did it for you.
And then I come back, and you're gone?
Like it was all some mistake.
Like it was for nothing.
[Over radio] Strike team, this is Philadelphia.
Your mission is a go.
Detonate. Repeat, detonate.
Strike team, do you copy?
Strike team, come in.
There's no response, sir.
Alec, this is general Monroe. Do you copy?
Your mission is a go.
Alec, do you copy? Alec, do you copy?
Your mission is a go.
Do you copy?
[Both grunting]
Do you copy, Alec?
- Aah! - [Grunts]
Alec, do you copy?
Come on, Alec, don't do it. Don't do it!
You did this.
[Gasps]
- [Grunts] - Do you copy?
Unh.
[Gasping]
Alec, your mission is a go.
Do you copy?
Do you copy, Alec?
I need to ask you something about Alec.
Not now.
He said you did something...
To my mom.
- What's he talking about? - It doesn't matter.
Miles, I just want to know the truth.
The truth is, people count on me...
And they get hurt.
You want to know why?
Because I hurt them.
And I don't even think twice about it.
That's who I am, Charlie.
Now get the hell away from me.
President Foster wants to see you.
Where's the rest of it?
The radioactive material, Miles.
- Where is it? - Why?
So you can build a nuke of your own?
Monroe knows he can't take me on the ground.
My men outnumber his two to one.
I'm supposed to run and hide because he has power?
Well, sweetheart, I have money.
I've got tall ships in Savannah.
Aid from England.
His third-world ass is gonna mess with me?
Well...
If he wants all-out war, he's got it.
Have fun with that.
If you'll excuse me.
Hold on. Miles.
My men will attack his southern border.
I want you and your rebels to hit Monroe from the inside.
Open up a second front.
Kelly...
I don't have that kind of manpower, on my best day.
A couple hundred men, a thousand guns.
All yours.
What do you say, Miles?
Ready to be a general again?
