years ago, God disappeared.

00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,048
His angels held
man responsible
3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:11,282
and declared war on humanity.
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,685
The archangel, Gabriel
led this war of extermination,
5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,683
hoping to rid
the world of humans
6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,285
and claim dominion over it.
Ripped By mstoll
7
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,970
Some higher angels
refused to take sides
8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,081
but the lower angels
joined Gabriel.
9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,931
These lesser spirits
lacked bodies,
10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,049
so their first line of attack
was to steal ours.
11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,805
But Michael, the greatest
of all Archangels,
12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,649
chose to fight for man.
13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,527
With his help,
the survivors struck back
14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,087
and built strongholds
to defend themselves.
15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,249
Soon word spread
of a baby Michael had saved,
16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,483
a child who would grow up
to be mankind's savior.
17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,645
This Chosen One would be known
by the markings on his body.
18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,324
Finally, Gabriel
and his army retreated,
19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,289
and we were left
with the realization
20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,328

are angels real,

184
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,802
Just so happens I have
a knee and a ring.
185

(SIGHS)
186
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,961
What?
187
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,047
Alex, he'll say yes. Trust me.
188
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,281
I know him.
189
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,566
You're my shield.
You took a knife for me.
190
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,402
There is no me without you.
191
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,608
We're different...
You and I.
192
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,842
Yeah, what? You think you
know him better than I do.
193
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,763
I know the system
better than you.
194
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,970
Claire, the truck is ready.
195
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,407
We have enough supplies
to easily make it to Delphi.
196
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,324
Claire, they don't
have numbers there.
197
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,365
Everyone is equal.
198
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,410
We could start a new life.
199
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,003
But it's got to be
tomorrow night.
200
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,930
The city will be busy
with the jubilee
201
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,047
and you can slip out.
202
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,441
But it won't come to that.
He'll say yes.
203
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,007
But if he doesn't,
204
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,930
wherever you go,
205
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,524
I follow.
206
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,881
Okay?
207
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,727
What's your name, soldier?
208
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,649
Alex Lannon, V2,
House Riesen, A.A. Corp.
209
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,961
Alex Lannon,
210
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,249
it's against our law for you to
be alone with Claire, Alex, so...
211
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,600
Next time, make sure you're
accompanied by another guard.
212
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,841
(CLEARS THROAT)
213
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,241
Principate.
214
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,570
Uh, please, Claire, not you.
I'm still the same William
215
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,721
you played marbles
within this room.
216
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,211
Yes, and always beat.
217
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,721
(LAUGHS)
218
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,401
Yeah, maybe you should
call me "Principate."
219
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,041
It does sound much better
when it comes from you.
220
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,210
You missed
services tonight.
221
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,361
I was teaching.
222
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,847
That's right.
223
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,325
You know I admire your work
with Vega's less fortunate.
224
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,005
You of all people know
how important it is
225
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,320
that our faith
must be nurtured.
226
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,530
It must be, uh,
kept like a promise.
227
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,046
It troubles me that so many
of Vega's citizens have
228
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,690
forgotten this
simple truth.
229
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,761
Yes.
230
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,971
Let us pray.
231
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,001
Ah!
232
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,721
Hey, Bix.
233
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,847
What'd you do now?
234
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,922
I got on the wrong side
of the peacock,
235
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,571
but Riesen stepped in.
236
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,007
You should keep out of
anything to do with the tops.
237
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,445
Yeah, they're no
different than us.
238
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,363
They just got
a better number.
239
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,491
When was the last
time you ate?
240
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,003
Here, late at the palace.
241
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,961
You want to know a secret?
242
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,281
One day,
243
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,251
we're going to live somewhere
where there aren't any numbers.
244
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,441
Where we aren't told
what to do, what to eat,
245
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,284
where to sleep
and whom to marry.
246
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,084
One day, we're
going to be free.
247
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,401
Promise?
248
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,841
I promise.
249
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,847
Stay close the
next day or so.
250
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,210
Something big is
going to happen
251
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,130
and whichever way it goes,
252
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,601
you're coming with me.
253
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,601
Consul.
254
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,601
General.
255
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,804
Oh, looky here.
256
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,687
I asked the horticulturist to
grow these on the agri-towers.
257
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,851
I never much
cared for berries.
258
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,566
There was an angel
attack on a soldier
259
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,324
outside the walls today.
260
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,484
Small group, three angels,
easily destroyed.
261
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,685
Not all of them.
262
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,400
One survived.
263
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,328
Don't worry. It's
been taken care of.
264
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,761
But the Archangel
is concerned,
265
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,330
and you should be, too.
266
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,650
Michael sees evil portent
in everything and everyone.
267
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,331
It was an isolated
incident, nothing more,
268
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,526
no further sightings
on our long-range scans.
269
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,409
We deployed the
drone, all clear.
270
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,330
We don't want
it getting out.
271
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:19,566
It could cause panic.
272
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,607
Perhaps that wouldn't
be a bad thing.
273
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:25,249
We've done our
jobs too well.
274
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,042
Vega has grown complacent.
275
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,441
Lazy.
276
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:37,729
So, we are looking forward to the
announcement of the jubilee.
277
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:39,361
Yes.
278
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,527
Tomorrow then.

MAN: I've been guarding
David Whele for six months.
280
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,687
I finally saw what he
feeds that tiger of his.
281
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,524
It's not a tiger.
It's a lion.
282
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,320
Is there a difference?
283
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,447
Yeah. Stripes.
284
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,966
Whatever. It gets
steak for dinner,
285
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,769
dry-aged porterhouse.
286
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,410
When was the last time
you even tasted beef?
287
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,960
Cat's one of a kind.

Hey, Ethan, can you
weasel your way
293
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,250
into a bottle of scotch
for me tonight?
294
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,004
"Weasel"? Really?
295
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,206
She means "charm" your way.
296
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,129
No, I meant "weasel."

with scotch, Noma?

and I can get some.

for you, too.

like tigers tonight.

overtime at House Riesen.

I go where I'm told.

00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,089
So, General Riesen has just
decided to tighten security?
308
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,046
Why wouldn't he?
He's Lord of the city.

his daughter's safety.
310
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,442

about his daughter?

is about Claire.

ever sleep?

to be made.

seen anybody from Helena

one of their kids before?

that kid's the One?

That's something they tell
children to give them hope.

have me travel all this way

of your factories.

one of our factories.

my proposal?

in a treaty with you,

against New Delphi.

You obviously learned a lot
about me on your last visit.

is hard to forget.

can rest and freshen up
after your flight.

00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,441
Good night.
362
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,450
I wonder if the brides she
was offering would be spies.
363
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,691
Possible. We have
so much they don't.
364
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,567
Helena has the only
air force in the cradle.
365
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,051
A fleet of aircraft
they inherited
366
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,724
from Hill Air Force Base.
367
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,690
That cripple, Riesen won't
be an obstacle much longer.
368
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,689
Once we have consolidated
our position
369
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,762
and you've been made
Lord of the city,
370
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,044
we'll want her as an ally.
371
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,207
Jeep.
372
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,248
I see you still like
the highest perch.
373
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,564
It's been 15 years.
374
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,565
I thought you were dead.
375
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,363
Fourteen and a half.
But who's counting?
376
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,090
What does everyone
else think?
377
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,241
The same.
378
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,407
David Whele built you
a statue in memoriam.
379
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,921
That's
380
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,721
creepy.
381
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,884
It's not a good likeness.
382
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,570
Looks more like
Whele than you.
383
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,564
He hasn't changed.
384
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,647
We all assumed the
tattoos were lost to us.
385
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,241
No.
386
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,204
Have you deciphered
any of them?
387
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,969
It isn't just
a language to decipher,
388
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,650
it's something else,
389
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:42,806
and from what I could find,
there's no historical equivalent.
390
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:46,726
Much of the last 14 years was
spent on wild goose chases
391
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,406
looking for the names of
prophets I had misspelled
392
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,082
or tasks I thought I was
commanded to carry out.
393
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:56,964
Unfortunately, the tattoos
are indecipherable.
394
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,361
How is he?
395
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,766
What's he like?
396
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,081
Undisciplined,
397
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:14,441
strong-willed,
398
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,201
passionate,
399
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,921
mercurial,
400
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,201
good.
401
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,125
Can you bring him to me?
402
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,201
Yes.
403
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:31,044
Everything's about to change.
404
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,161
War is coming.
405
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,043
People have lived inside
these walls so long
406
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:54,282
they've forgotten
they're not prisoners.
407
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,967
Uh, father, there's
something that I need to...
408
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,963
I'm stepping down
from ruling Vega.
409
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,565
The city is strong enough to
give power back to the people.
410
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,927
Let them make their
own way going forward.
411
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,684
The people are not ready.
412
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,285
Vega is not ready.
413
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,165
And Senator Whele will never
give up power that easily.
414
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,561
He won't allow the people
to govern themselves.
415
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,281
Father, if you step down
in the name of democracy,
416
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:24,522
he will turn this city
into a dictatorship.
417
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,166
And what do you
think it is now?
418
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,969
You're a good man.
419
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,441
Am I?
420
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,481
Why now?
421
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,851
We have worked so hard
to build this city
422
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,160
into what it is.
423
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,091
You can’t just give up.
424
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:53,600
lam not giving up.
425
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,368
I'm moving forward.
So should you.
426
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,324
You have the strength
of character
427
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,881
that Vega desperately
needs, Claire.
428
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,129
You'll be important
to its survival and soon,
429
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,009
you'll be called on
to protect it.
430
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,209
So, what was it
you wished to tell me?
431
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,921
Nothing.
432
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,691
It was nothing.
433
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,249
You're as paranoid as ever.
434
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,966
If that were true,
435
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,801
you'd be dead.
436
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,930
Tell me about the boy.
437
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,881
I've never seen any of
your children before.
438
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,370
Why bring him here?
439
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,124
Roan isn't one
of our children.
440
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,011
He's favored by Evelyn.
441
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,084
She dotes on him
like an adopted son.
442
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,281
Oh.
443
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,961
Why?
444
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,086
He's a savant.
445
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,486
Knows 20 languages.
446
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,122
Can play a Bach piano
concerto, recite Shakespeare.
447
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,766
His knowledge of history
is astonishing.
448
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,406
He's amazing,
449
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,725
teaching us many things,
450
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,326
but he's painfully shy
451
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,970
and needs to be
treated gently.
452
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,528
Roan wanted to see
the great city of Vega
453
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,807
and Evelyn denies
him nothing.
454
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,049
She believes he's special.
455
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,366
Very special.
456
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,646
And you?
457
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,242
I've never seen
a child quite like him.
458
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,684
A boy with those gifts
could be useful to Vega.
459
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,364
He's not for sale.
460
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,405
Everything has a price.
461
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,001
(GASPS)
462
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,525
She wants to
see you upstairs.
463
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,602
Needs some stuff from the
supply center for tonight.
464
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,201
Yes, ma'am. I need these
filled by early afternoon.
465
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,611
Yes, ma'am.
(QUIETLY) Listen,
466
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,645
something is happening
with my father
467
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,609
that could
change everything.
468
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,250
I couldn't bring
it up to him.
469
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,042
So tonight after
the Jubilee,
470
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,800
we'll leave as planned.
471
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,370
(SPEAKING NORMALLY)
That'll be all. Thank you.
472
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,361
Come with me.
473
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,001
(GRUNTING)
474
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,490
Okay, okay, okay.
475
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,648
You've trained him
well, Michael.
476
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:20,641
Dad?
477
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,966
How did you get here?
478
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,890
I came back last night
479
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,127
to see you...
480
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,484
To talk. I'm not interested
in anything you have to say.
481
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,001
You gave me up.
482
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,731
A scribbled note left in
the night made that clear.
483
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,280
Do you remember
what it said?
484
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,401
I do.
485
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,120
"You'll be an orphan
now, Alex."
486
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,645
I didn't think I
would make it back.
487
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:50,886
I was 11.
488
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,969
You left me alone.
You had Michael.
489
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,330
He isn't even human.
490
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,161
Human enough to side
with us against his own.
491
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,610
The only one
to fight for us.
492
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,242
Without Michael we would
have lost the war.
493
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,443
Alex, nothing's been done
that wasn't necessary.
494
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,601
Necessary?
495
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,169
Do you realize by
making me an orphan
496
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,924
you put me in
the lowest caste.
497
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,161
A "one."
498
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,602
If I hadn't become a soldier
I wouldn't have had anywhere
499
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,045
to sleep or
anything to eat.
500
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,530
You basically
left me to die.
501
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,643
It isn't the life I would
have chosen for you.
502
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,767
None of it is.
503
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,881
And you.
504
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,931
You knew this all along.
505
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,321
Alex?
506
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,366
You go back to whatever
hole you crawled out of.
507
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,841
You don't have a son.
508
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,531
We need to bring the
council together today,
509
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,686
before the Jubilee.
510
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,405
Did I do the right thing
511
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,241
for Alex?
512
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,527
That remains
to be seen.
513
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,882
They found this
at the altar.
514
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,286
I don't understand.
515
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,210
The angels took
everything from us
516
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,011
and there are idiots
who still worship them.
517
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,601
I know, but the Acolytes
518
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,409
are still a small
and secretive group.
519
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,766
They can't hide forever.
520
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:29,921
Good.
521
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,480
My followers
will find them.
522
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,562
Keep them searching.
523
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,760
Come on inside.
524
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,570
(FAINT GROWLING)
525
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,283
(GROWLING)
526
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,521
(GASPS)
527
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,650
It was caught outside the city walls this
morning trying to find a way inside.
528
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:14,200
You've brought one
into the city?
529
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,642
People need to be reminded
of what we're up against
530
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,041
and who's protected
them all this time.
531
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,246
You're sharpening that like
you're going to kill somebody.
532
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,527
Yeah, you. You're late.
533
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,166
I was working in the laundry
and they wouldn't let me go.
534
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,721
I'm sorry. I had a bad day.
535
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,441
You want to talk about it?
536
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,041
It's in the past.
537
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,247
Bixby, you gotta meet me
538
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,924
at the south entrance
of the arena.
539
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,810
Access is restricted
to V2 and above.
540
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,684
Can you get in?
Yeah.
541
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,323
10:00 p.m., tonight.
542
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,970
Do you understand?
You can't be late.
543
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,289
What's going on?
You'll see.
544
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,362
And, Bixby,
you can't tell anyone.
545
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,680
You got it?
546
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,410
She's more of
a man than you.
547
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,606
What's Michael being
so cryptic about?
548
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,245
Yep, I'm alive.
549
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,121
How?
550
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,441
Thick-headedness.
551
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,971
I haven't been able to decipher
anything of substance from the tattoos.
552
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,601
Can Michael?
553
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,007
No.
554
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:52,130
But more importantly,
I found Gabriel.
555
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,361
What?
556
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,565
I guess it was wishful thinking that
he might have died in the bombings.
557
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:04,961
He's built a fortress
and an army of the possessed
558
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,565
in the mountains
outside of Boulder.
559
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,888
They seem to have adapted.
560
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,765
Gabriel is massing
for another war.
561
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,921
It gets worse.
562
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,808
A few of the higher angels
have joined Gabriel
563
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,370
and they can appear
perfectly human.
564
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:24,927
In the same way
as Michael and Gabriel?
565
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,521
Yes.
566
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,010
They belong to the second
sphere of angels, the "Powers."
567
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,882
They were born to be warriors to
keep the other angels in line,
568
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,726
and, like Gabriel, some of
them have always hated man.
569
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,602
The Powers are far more
dangerous than the angels
570
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,041
that possessed mankind
during the Extermination.
571
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,488
I had hoped they would
sit out this war.
572
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,485
Gabriel's obviously persuaded
some of them to join him.
573
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,443
His name is Furiad.
574
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,450
We should cancel the Jubilee,
alert the city.
575
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,521
Agreed.
576
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,529
All of this has convinced me it's
time to reveal the Chosen One.
577
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,246
You know who it is?
578
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,567
Yeah.
579
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,641
Who?
580
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,850
We will tell you
soon enough.
581
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,287
(SCOFFS) I don't
have time for this.
582
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,723
There's no Chosen One,
no one coming to save us.
583
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,490
There never was.
584
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,130
We're the chosen ones.
585
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,328
Not some imaginary savior.
586
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,168
(STAMMERING)
That isn't true.
587
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,209
The Savior's real.
The baby lived.
588
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,282
That's your delusion,
not mine.
589
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,604
So the baby lived.
590
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,524
Many babies lived.
We lived.
591
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,881
Hear them out, David.
592
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,161
Michael has never misled us.
593
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,724
Michael may not be a mystery
to you, Madam Consul,
594
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,006
but he is to me.
595
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,570
What were you
planning on doing?
596
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,207
Find some random child
and tell us he's the baby?
597
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,971
What proof do we have? How do we
measure him? On your word alone?
598
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,521
You have faith.
599
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,046
(CHUCKLES)
600
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:09,325
Oh, that died a long time ago, Archangel,
when your kind laid waste to my planet.
601
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:13,848
And war is coming?
602
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,011
Not news to me.
603
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:17,731
It never ended.
604
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,570
We are the angels'
natural enemy.
605
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,689
It won't be over until either
they're extinct or we are.
606
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,483
And what we have to do
607
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,643
is prepare everyone
for that inevitability.
608
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:33,165
Lead them...
609
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,802
And we lead them
by attending the Jubilee.
610
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:45,642
People need a release from
the stress of the city,
611
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,800
but more important, they need
something to inspire them.
612
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,764
So, General, tonight has to go forward.
We cannot cancel.
613
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:56,811
After that, I...
I'll be the first
614
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,763
to reconvene here
and roll my sleeves up
615
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,808
and do whatever it
takes to keep us safe.
616
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,280
But don't ask me to put my
faith in some child god...
617
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,684
(SCOFFS) A savior.
618
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,880
I'll never do it again.
619

Allow what?
623

see it that way.

I've got nothing
to say to you.
627
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,965
Then I'll do the talking.
628
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,244

any pictures of my mother.

our Jubilee,

to be reminded of the past
639
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,330
but also to look forward.
640

And it is in that spirit
of looking forward

that I have an
announcement to make
642

Tonight...
645
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,602
Tonight, our city
will become stronger.
646
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,485
It will become unified.

it is my great pleasure

Come on, Claire.
Stand up.

join Vega's two greatest houses,

719
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:57,841
Where are they headed?
720
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,206
The reactor, sir.
721
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,001
Incoming!
722
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:11,201
(SCREAMS)
723
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,521
Fire! Fire!
724
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,211
(SPEAKING ANGELIC LANGUAGE)
725
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:22,921
ALEX: Come on.
726
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:28,521
Let's go...
727
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,523
Leave right now.
Tonight.
728
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,002
(SCOFFS) Leave the city? It's under attack.
This is a code red.
729
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,567
It's perfect. By the time they begin looking
for us, we'll be halfway to Delphi.
730
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,001
I can't...
731
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,800
Not right now. My father
needs me and Vega needs us.
732
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,042
We have to stay
and protect the city.
733
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,329
We'll work this out. Nobody's going
to tell me who to marry, Alex.
734
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:00,727
What makes you think
735
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,325
you're going to
have a choice, huh?
736
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,087
If we go through that door,
Claire, we're staying.
737
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,091
We're never going to leave.
738
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,520
Alex, I promise.
739
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,887
I promise I will
make this right.
740
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,849
Trust me.
741
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,241
Please. Don't leave me.
742
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,531
Sir, what's...
743
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,364
Sir, every camera
in the city is dark.
744
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,640
What are you doing?
745
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:38,529
Michael needs my help.
Michael can handle himself.
746
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,648
Get out of my way.
If this bunker is breached,
747
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,603
all of Vega's leaders
are within these walls.
748
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,848
And Claire? She's your responsibility.
You're needed here.
749
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,206
I'm needed out there more.
750
00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:58,961
You can't help him now.
No one can.
751
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,208
It won't take long to
restore power to Vega.
752
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,044
We'll soon get our
defenses back online.
753
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,651
I have every confidence
in you, David.
754
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,010
I was so worried.
755
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,490
Thank the Savior
you're all right.
756
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,689
Mmm, lam.
757
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,201
Stop firing.
758
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,321
(GROANS)
759
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:57,926
I need a med kit.
760
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,251
You're ready.
761
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,168
I believe in you.
762
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,490
You...
763
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,803
You are the Chosen One.
764
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,445
The last words
from a dying brain.
765
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,569
That man was hallucinating.
Ridiculous.
766
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:38,481
Get up.
767
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:46,161
Arrest her.
768
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,089
You have to believe me, David.
We had no part in this.
769
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:49,400
And round up
her entourage.
770
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,131
I had no idea what Roan was.
He was deceiving all of us.
771
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,362
What would we have
to gain? Please, think.
772
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,441
lam.
773
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,808
General, please.
You must listen to me.
774
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,450
SOLDIER: Go! Go!
775
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,361
I don't want her hurt.
776
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,529
Arresting Arika could
spark another war.
777
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,166
We're already at war.
778
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,561
They brought that thing into
the city and it killed Jeep.
779
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,086
And you unleashed that
monstrosity at the Jubilee.
780
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,286
How is this any different?
781
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,007
You knew what you were doing,
it's not sure that she did.
782
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,886
Vega has become
unfocused and so have you.
783
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,246
My little demonstration
784
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,209
couldn't have
worked any better.
785
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,330
Now we'll all be ready for
the battle that's coming.
786
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,046
So...
787
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,964
Alex Lannon,
show us your arms.
788
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:53,887
Who's that?
789
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:55,081
(GASPS)
790
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,041
Bixby.
791
00:57:58,360 --> 00:57:59,361
Designation?
792
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:00,441
V1
793
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,329
(STAMMERING) V1?
What is she doing here?
794
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,323
She's with me.
795
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,084
She's under
my protection...
796
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,529
The protection
of House Riesen.
797
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,328
Well, she better be
able to keep a secret,
798
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,364
because no one here is going to
breathe a word of this to anyone
799
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,681
until we figure out what it all means.
ls that understood?
800
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:23,886
She'll be quiet.
801
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,564
I promise.
802
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:36,561
I'm fine.
803
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:40,727
What happened?
804
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,645
The reactor was damaged
but containment held...
805
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:47,846
For now.
806
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:02,931
The boy was an angel...
807
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:05,963
Another member
of the Powers.
808
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,042
That's why he was able to
pass through our scanners.
809
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:10,451
Jeep was right.
810
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,841
More than one higher angel has joined
Gabriel in his war against us.
811
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,968
Cover up. Make sure
none of the tattoos show.
812
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,844
Alex is the baby I saved
all those years ago.
813
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,528
He is under my protection.
814
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,248
I don't believe this.
Alex Lannon is the Chosen One.
815
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,288
Or even that the baby
was ever real.
816
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,448
You saw the tattoos.
You saw what happened.
817
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,730
I saw the tattoos transfer
from Jeep to Alex.
818
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,731
But I've seen more extraordinary things
happen since this insanity began.
819
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:03,168
The tattoos are a harbinger
of what's to come.
820
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,561
They will usher in
a period of hope.
821
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,041
Save it for your
flock, William.
822
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,686
Religious theater is one thing.
This is politics.
823
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,367
My faith is not a theater
nor is it a delusion.
824
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,282
I don't know
what it all means,
825
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,443
but I'm not bowing to anyone,
and you aren't either.
826
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,883
Alex Lannon is now
our greatest threat,
827
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,610
and Claire Riesen
is in love with him,
828
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,569
which makes your union
that much harder.
829
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,046
(SCOFFS) What?
830
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:33,807
You're wrong.
831
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,169
Oh, William, come on. I'm sorry,
but your feelings for Claire
832
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,727
have obviously blinded you to what
was plain to see in that room,
833
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,047
which makes it more imperative than
ever that we take full control of Vega.
834
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,722
Evelyn isn't going to like us
holding Arika in prison.
835
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,564
Riesen thought
she was innocent.
836
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:55,480
She seemed to be
speaking the truth
837
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,005
when she said she had
no idea what Roan was.
838
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,969
(SCOFFS) I don't care.
839
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:01,126
That city is full
of assassins.
840
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,770
How do you think Evelyn
came to power?
841
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,241
You know Arika is
Evelyn's wife, don't you?
842
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,927
Don't agree with Riesen
about anything
843
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,565
ever again.
844
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,280
You were never alone.
845
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:53,201
What?
846
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,646
When Jeep left,
you were never alone.
847
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:58,680
I watched over you.
848
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,484
I made sure you
joined the army.
849
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,282
I formed the Archangel Corp so that I could
stay close to you without arising suspicion.
850
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,686
Everything was done so
you could train, in secret.
851
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,524
No one could know
who you were.
852
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,450
Am I supposed to thank you?
853
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,927
Thank Jeep for all of this?
854
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,367
No. It just is.
855
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:27,011
As your father, Jeep held the tattoos
on his body for when you were ready.
856
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,326
He knew it might
mean his death.
857
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:31,970
I'm not ready.
858
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:34,321
I'm no savior.
859
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,808
You are. It's up to you
to decipher the tattoos.
860
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,441
I bore them on my body before they
were transferred onto Jeep's.
861
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,529
But they were always meant
for the Chosen One.
862
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,481
First the tattoos were on you,
then they were on Jeep,
863
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,325
then they're on me, how do I know
they're not meant for someone else?
864
01:02:58,040 --> 01:02:59,121
What are they?
865
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:00,720
Our fate...
866
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:03,686
Our hope...
867
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,847
Written in a language
long since forgotten,
868
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,965
one even I don't know.
869
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,285
Can you show them to me?
870
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,130
Can you read them?
871
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,850
(SIGHS) I can't.
872
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:25,890
You must.
873
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,201
This is war, and only
one side can win.
874
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:34,921
What's in those tattoos will guide
you through what's to come.
875
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,169
They will lay out the path through
which mankind can be redeemed
876
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,720
and Gabriel and his
legions pushed back.
877
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,724
But this path will
not be easily traversed.
878
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,650
At every step, you
879
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,960
must choose which
course to take.
880
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,803
I believe you are the only
one that can end this war.
881
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,571
I'm just a man, Michael.
882
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,804
How can you be sure?
883
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:12,845
Nothing is ever certain.
884
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,603
But Jeep had hope, Alex.
885
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,286
He had faith in you
886
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,084
and so do I.
887
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,090
Try.
888
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,969
Can you discern anything?
889
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:46,961
No.
890
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:24,691
GABRIEL: My son...
891
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:28,121
William.
892
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:34,606
We found him.
