[narrator] Previously on Wayward Pines...
They just got their leader back.
It's not a question of "if" anymore, it's a question of "when".
Our enemy has moved close in numbers we've never seen before.
We will go back to sleep until the Abby threat is contained.
There's a problem with the pods.
We can only take roughly half the people.
He's going to make the selections right now.
Take him out.
I can't do that.
And now, here we are, with a baby coming.
That's what I want and I think it's what you want, too.
You had a child.
The baby went to Texas.
That was 2,000 years ago.
-How do you know baby went to Texas? -What?
How do you know baby went to Texas?
What are you talking about? Where is this coming from?
How do you know?
[gunshot]
We're gonna do an emergency thorocotamy.
I need an additional surgical resident and get me two OR nurses.
That's a really risky procedure, Doctor.
He's gonna make it, right? You can save him--
He's just another patient.
No, he isn't.
Go. Go.
I need two nurses in the OR, stat!
It's for Jason Higgins.
[growling]
[snarling]
[growling]
[man on PA] Attention, citizens of Wayward Pines,
extraction teams are on their way.
Gather your families and your belongings.
Only take with you what is essential for survival.
Those who have not been picked up, remain calm.
Shuttles will be coming back for the next group shortly.
Sweetheart, are you okay?
Reminder, once you do leave, you will not be returning home.
Let's go.
[beeping]
[rapid beeping]
-He's crashing. -BP is 70 over 40.
-Dr. Yedlin... -Control the bleeding, Oscar.
It's in his lung.
-V-fib. -Paddles.
Clear.
-One milligram epi, now. -We don't...
Vasopressin?
Clear.
[rapid beeping]
[ECG flatlining]
He's asleep.
Time of death, 07:33.
I want everyone to go home.
The evacuation has begun, we do not have much time.
And you'll all be safe.
I promise you.
Despite all our efforts,
Jason Higgins died this morning.
Just a few minutes ago.
Jason served this town as best as he knew how.
And the best way to honor him
is by fulfilling his wish.
To survive.
We have an opportunity.
Wayward Pines needs strong leadership, no one here will dispute that.
But what it doesn't need, what it doesn't deserve...
is a dictator.
Well, I know that many of us did not ask to be here.
I know I didn't.
But we're all that's left.
And when we make it to the other side of this, and we will,
humanity begins anew, with us.
Because that's now our destiny.
See you on the mountain.
[indistinct chatter]
You've updated all the prescription records?
On all but the maternity ward.
The sutures on Mr. Welsh, they're holding?
It should be fine.
I just wanted to say, sir, what you did in there, with Jason,
the pericardial tamponade...
You didn't drain it first.
You didn't drain it at all.
That's the first thing you should've done, right?
You never make mistakes.
Was that on purpose, Dr. Yedlin?
I did everything I could to save the patient.
I took all reasonable steps.
You're gonna make an excellent doctor, Oscar.
Dr. Yedlin, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful little speech
you made out there and I know you're very busy,
but I just wanted to confess to you...
I've had a lot of different professionalities in my life.
You mean jobs?
Yes, jobs.
I've been a toll booth operator, I've been a hockey mascot.
I've been an adult bookstore manager.
But of all those jobs, this is the most satisfying.
I feel like I've really made a difference,
and it's all because of you.
And I just wanted to say I feel I can really make a difference
in the future.
And I feel like, together, you and I,
could change humanity.
-Yeah. -I will see you in the mountains.
Tally-ho.
I will see you in the mountains.
So I noticed something interesting while doing the paperwork.
Jason's blood type is AB negative,
it's rare, something like, less than one percent of the population.
There are only, like, four people awake in Wayward Pines who have it.
The first three are this family, the Mansfields.
But then the other one
is Kerry Campbell.
That's weird, right?
Dr. Yedlin, CJ is waiting for you in your office.
[footsteps approaching]
Impressive, huh?
I think they're real.
Ah...
Well, the evacuation has begun, the pods are almost ready.
Easier for me if we can put everyone into suspension at the same time.
I can explain to you how it works.
No, thanks. I've been in one, that's enough for me.
Good. 'Cause I don't have six months to teach you.
The plan that Jason commenced had us taking intact families first,
both parents and all the children.
That accounts for almost 300 of all the 571 pods that are working.
After that,
we take the children and leave behind the adults who are non-essential.
If there's any trouble,
we'll be better able to control it.
You don't think they deserve to know, CJ?
They will know.
But only after the rest of us are safe.
Here, the list.
These were the decisions Jason made
about who would come and who would stay.
He made them quickly but he made decisions.
You knew him as a boy.
I did.
But I did not know the man he would become.
-He was never a man. -He's in the past.
I'm not sure there's any point in arguing over him now.
You have your own decisions to make,
maybe some preferences of your own.
I said it should be random.
That's impossible now.
And the Abbies could be here any minute.
Maybe it's better to go with what was already organized in the process.
Or you can make changes, of course.
There are over 300 people who have never been woken at all.
You can wake some of them to free up some extra pods.
But for every action, there's an equal, opposite reaction.
You're not only choosing who to bring,
well, you're choosing who to now leave behind.
You will be granting a pardon and a death sentence at the same time.
Did he suffer?
Did you want him to?
I don't know.
Well, a pod just opened up.
You think this is funny?
You were always the brains behind that tyrannical moron.
He wasn't a tyrant.
He was doing what he felt was right.
Right?
In a place where everything's wrong.
It's rotten.
It's all a lie.
It's been enough lies, Dr. Yedlin.
I'm only interested in the truth.
Yeah.
Incidentally,
you knew Pilcher changed your file, right?
I knew that.
Did you also know that
Jason was placed in a pod just days after being born?
And coincidentally,
you arrived here days after giving birth.
And you both share a very rare blood type.
A very rare blood type.
[retching]
[growling]
[woman on PA] Please proceed in an orderly fashion.
All families will be processed together.
You'll all go through physical examination,
then be fitted for your suit and led into the pod room.
Do not forget, you must have your identification with you.
Only residents with proper identification
may enter the pod room.
293 people have moved into the super structure
and now in processing.
Then we come to collect the rest.
You all right?
No.
[man on PA] Residents of Wayward Pines,
if you were not on the initial shuttle lists,
you must wait in your homes for group two.
Please be patient.
The next shuttles are departing soon.
I'm sorry.
You're not on the first list.
We're taking people up in two groups.
We have to sequence the people in the pod room in a specific order.
We'll be back shortly for group two.
-Daddy. -Ma'am.
Don't be scared. Mama's gonna be there with you.
I'll see you in a little bit, okay?
[man] All right, the bus is gonna leave in two minutes, kids,
here we go, move along.
Keep walking, guys. Hey, keep going.
Single file lines, single file.
Everyone on the bus, everyone on.
Let's go. Keep movin'.
Frank.
Frank!
Let's go, everyone!
What's happening?
Keep movin'.
They told us to wait here.
They're taking people up in two groups.
We're group two.
What's wrong with us?
Nothing.
They're coming back.
My brother, have you seen him?
Frank!
Frank Armstrong, have you seen him?
You're holding up the line, come on.
-No! Frank! -Let's go. Get on the bus.
Keep it moving. Come on.
Frank! Frank!
Frank, Frank!
Lucy!
Frank!
-Lucy! -Hey!
You're not on the list!
[groaning]
Frank. Frank! No.
Frank.
No! I don't wanna go!
[Lucy sobbing] No!
Rebecca Yedlin?
Time to go.
You need to wait here.
What are you talking about?
We're taking people in two groups.
We're one group, we're married.
It's something to do with the sequencing in the pod room.
Now, if you'll come with us ma'am,
-please-- -I'm not going anywhere without
-my husband. -Rebecca--
It's just one more person, you can take us both there together.
Rebecca. Give us a minute.
Come on.
-What's happening? -I don't know.
[sighs]
Did Theo do this?
We don't know that anyone did it.
We just figured everything out.
Yeah, none of that changes.
I don't wanna go alone.
I can't be alone again.
When you go to sleep, I promise you, I will be there.
And when you wake up, I will be there, too.
Wherever I am.
And whenever you are.
Both of you.
[sobbing]
[engine revving]
The last group is moving towards the pods.
Which we hope will work.
There are no guarantees in this life.
You're a surgeon, you know this.
I've had lives in my hands,
held a human heart beating.
Did one earlier today, as a matter of fact.
But we're not saving just one life.
We're saving the human race.
It isn't any different.
No, it's completely different.
Whoever destroys a soul,
it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world.
And whoever saves a life,
it is considered as if he saved an entire world.
You've been saving the world all along, Doctor.
You just didn't know it.
I fixed things.
Re-attach nerves, remove cancerous tissue,
but it was never spiritual, not for me.
Pilcher...
he was playing God when he brought us all here.
Do you think it was a mistake for him
to take the fate of mankind to his own hands?
A man once asked me, "Would you save a hundred people if you could?
Thousand people?"
Of course the answer is, "yes".
And then, some crazy nurse drugged me, kidnapped me and brought me here.
But he's talking about the alternative which was, they were all gonna die,
so, yes, of course. But that's not the case,
that's not what this was.
Everyone here was gonna live their lives.
Die horribly or peacefully, but naturally.
And now, tonight,
choice is,
we're doing the same thing.
You said you fixed people.
Past tense.
Is it something you're not planning to do anymore,
in this next life?
[dramatic music playing]
[beeping]
[people shouting]
This is Dr. Theodore Yedlin.
And, uh...
I hope whoever hears this understands all this more than I do.
But you need to know
that David Pilcher was wrong about everything.
In an effort to save humanity, he created a town that is
ruled by inhumanity.
An effort he had no right to undertake.
We are now nevertheless in a place where we have run out of food,
and there's an enemy, soon,
to overtake the town and kill everyone here.
David Pilcher collected several viruses and they were kept here,
I assume for some form of future-germ warfare.
I intend to inject myself with the three most virulent strains,
bubonic plague,
typhoid,
and Marburg.
After the incubation period, roughly 13 hours,
I will walk outside of the fence and...
be consumed.
By my estimations, just...
medical school memory,
roughly a third to the half, should be wiped out by the bubonic plague alone.
The typhoid is water-bearing as is Marburg.
So the rest should follow suit.
It's only a guess.
But it's the best I have.
So the existing members, when they do wake,
possibly, could have a new life.
So...
That's all.
Except...
This idea of the greater good...
There is no greater good.
There's only good.
No matter how small the act.
Dr. Yedlin.
Your wife is arriving, your former wife.
Thanks.
But there's trouble at the checkpoint.
MAN: Return to your homes. You are group two.
If you are not in your homes the vans will not be able
to pick you up and process you properly.
Return to your homes now.
Open the gates now!
You're not going instead of me.
[clamoring]
Whats' going on here?
Theo, they left Xander.
Get back! Go home!
Go home!
[woman on PA] Please stay in line while waiting for processing.
Rebecca.
Where's Frank?
Where's Xander?
Give me some of that.
You're too young.
I wish I was born somewhere else.
Hmm, unfortunately, there is no somewhere else.
What was it like out there?
Scary.
So like how it is in here.
You know,
she is like a mom to her.
Good.
Get in.
Both of you. Come on, get in.
Just don't make a moment of this. We got a...
Get out of the car.
Who's that?
I got this.
We're gonna need that jeep, Xander.
Don't do anything stupid.
Dr. Yedlin.
You could've just told us.
I know.
I thought I did a pretty good job for you.
But I guess I was wrong.
So you say hello to the future for me, okay?
Arlene.
You're taking his pod. Come on.
Thank you, Dr. Yedlin. Thank you.
Still don't know why you did that.
I don't either.
Things gonna be different?
They have to be different.
I'll get to the pod room, it's time. Get them processed.
How's your head?
I'm fine.
Becca.
[woman on PA] Please stay in line while waiting to be processed.
Becca!
Frank.
Whoa, whoa.
-Easy. -I was so scared.
I'll protect you.
[woman on PA] Please proceed in an orderly fashion.
All families will be processed together.
You'll all go through physical examination,
then be fitted for your suit and led into pod room.
Hey. It's not your fault.
We've all believed in things here that weren't real.
You don't even know.
I know.
Pilcher isn't here. Neither is Jason.
But you are.
You survived everything
with your intelligence, your instinct.
What if for once he was put here for the service of something good.
We need all of that.
I need it.
And you certainly deserve a fresh start.
One was enough.
Thank you.
I guess the future needs ice cream.
I guess.
We couldn't save our marriage.
You can save the town.
Only you can.
[growling]
[beeping]
[Dr. Theo Yedlin] I intend to inject myself
with the three most virulent strains,
bubonic plague, typhoid, and Marburg.
The incubation period, roughly 13 hours,
I will walk outside of the fence and be consumed.
"There is no greater good.
Only good.
However small the act."
I make this sacrifice with the knowledge
that with everything that has been taken from me here,
there is still a way I can serve my purpose,
-and make things right. -Don't do this.
It's done.
You are needed here, Dr. Yedlin.
Humanity needs you and more people like you in the future.
And less people...
like my son.
It's morphine.
Inject the entire vial into a vein,
two minutes before you go outside the fence.
You'll still feel them.
It's the right choice.
For us both.
Don't worry, the future's not gonna miss me.
I'm just a girl from Idaho, Doctor.
Goodbye, Theo.
Non-essential systems have begun shutting down.
Only power to the pod room and the fence will remain.
That's that.
Look, I'm not much...
for making speeches and I already gave one today.
I don't know the world that we're gonna wake up to.
But I know we did everything,
because that's what humans do.
It's our nature.
And I've seen our worst here.
But we've also shown our best.
So let's carry that.
Let's carry that.
Good luck to us all.
And, hopefully, I'll see you all very soon.
[whistling]
[Abbies roaring]
You look tired, baby.
Was it a mistake?
You can make the world whatever you want.
You have that power.
[beeping]
[baby crying]
