Tron: Uprising s01e07 Episode Script

Price of Power

Accessing archive data Beck proves a good hero is also a humble hero.
What do I do? Blast through those guards? - You wouldn't make it.
- Hey.
Zed wishes he had more from one program and less of another.
- And he's kind of handsome.
- Handsome? I know you think the renegade is helping, but he's not.
Meanwhile, Tesler maintains complete control over Argon.
Bring all weapons to bear! We have a small problem, Sir.
1x07 - Price of Power I build Tesler a weapon of unimaginable power, and he gives me eight guards.
These dirigibles are the safest way into Argon.
Great.
I feel better already.
- That's the weapon? - No, this is a box.
What's inside the box, that's what's important.
Engines offline.
Please stand by for emergency evacuation.
- The renegade! - You missed your stop, Shaw.
Grab your bags.
We're getting off.
Looks like you got on the wrong ship! You're a scientist, Shaw, not a murderer.
You can help programs, instead of helping to destroy them.
I can't help these programs any more than you can.
That's new.
Nice! So long, renegade.
I've got you.
- Give me your other hand.
- The weapon it's mine! I'm trying to help you, Shaw.
I can't hold on.
Give it to me! I need it! Shaw, don't! Careful, Zed.
Those things can be dangerous.
Can I help you with something? I'm kind of busy, and Hey! Not anymore.
We've got direct orders from commander Paige to be here.
Tesler's expecting his modified tank to be ready at the end of this cycle.
And we're here to make sure that your pretty little hands work as fast as they can.
My pretty little fists work even faster.
- If you want me to demonstrate - Zed.
Mara.
Is there a problem? Yeah, two of them.
But they were just leaving.
What she said! Oh, well, good.
Lots of work to be done.
No time to stand around chatting.
We'll be back, and that tank better be finished.
Otherwise, there really will be a problem.
What he said.
Ha ha! - Here, let me help you.
- I got it.
The renegade derezzed the scientist, Sir, then made off with the weapon.
And you just let him escape? Your general just asked you a question.
Answer him.
I accept your resignation.
General, I'll take the lead on this.
Do whatever you have to do, but bring me that weapon! A massive power upgrade in strength and agility.
If this weapon had found its way to Tesler, his forces would have been insurmountable.
So I did good? What about the scientist? The idea was to bring him in alive! He attacked me.
I tried to save him, but I couldn't.
Then this prototype is all that's left of the technology.
If Tesler believes this was destroyed, it should buy us some time.
To do what? - Destroy it.
- How do we do that? Do you know of any easily accessible high-powered energy welders? If only we knew someone who worked at a garage.
Wait! I work at a garage.
This weapon is far more dangerous than you know, Beck.
Destroy it immediately.
I'm serious.
When are you ever not serious? Don't worry.
I'll take care of it, I promise.
Looks like trouble.
They're still inside! Male program: Someone help! Help us! Hang on.
I'll get you out.
Come on, let's go.
On second thought, I'll go.
All right, who's next? You have something that belongs to me.
You want it? Come get it! I was hoping you'd say that.
Time is up, Zed.
Where's the tank? Able's working on it.
- You know, finishing touches.
- We need it now.
That's great, but last I checked, we don't work for you.
Wrong again, Zed, because we're here as representatives of Tesler's army.
That's funny I don't see any Tesler, and I certainly don't see any army.
Beck, I can handle this.
If I were you, I'd leave before things get embarrassing.
You know what's embarrassing? How fast you're gonna hit the ground - The two of us - versus one of you.
Wow, Hopper, I had no idea you could count that high.
You're right that was embarrassing.
Beck, don't! What's wrong with you? You could have seriously hurt them! Just wait until Tesler hears about this! - Gee thanks a lot, Beck.
- What's your problem? You should have let me handle it! Instead you made me look like a coward in front of Mara.
I didn't make you look like anything.
And if you don't want people to think you're a coward, then stop acting like one! The mods are done.
This is good to go.
So long as general Tesler's pleased, I'm pleased.
I'll be more pleased once it's on his base.
Ship it.
Tesler's base I see my tank has arrived.
- Assemble a team for an inspection.
- Right away, Sir.
Want to know what I see? I see a coward Hiding behind minions and lackeys.
I'm not the one dressing up, hiding behind the memory of a dead program! Looks like you crawled onto the wrong ship! Yeah, I get that a lot.
You're gonna have to do better than that.
Tron.
Able.
Great.
Able.
Seal the ship! Finally.
I thought this shift would never end.
If Able asks me to pull another double Able! Come on, help me get him inside! Zed! Mara! Able's been hurt! Is he all right? How did this happen? - Tron.
- He did this? No.
He tried to take out Tesler.
There was an explosion and Tron saved me.
Sounds to me like the renegade almost got you killed.
- Zed! - What?! This guy's no Tron.
He's a menace! And it's only a matter of time before we all end up casualties just like Able or worse.
We searched the ship, Sir.
No sign of him anywhere.
Perhaps, General, it's time to try a new approach.
Rather than draw out the renegade using soldiers, which didn't work out quite so well for Paige, might I recommend using some other form of bait? Innocent programs, Sir hostages.
And where will we find these hostages? Sir? I believe we have a suggestion.
- Go! - Go! Hurry! Greetings, programs.
By orders of general Tesler, this garage and everyone in it now belongs to the government.
Consider yourselves prisoners of war.
I thought I've told you to get rid of the weapon.
You lied to me! If Tesler had recovered it - But he didn't.
- You got lucky.
Luck's got nothing to do with it.
I took care of him on my own.
Listen to yourself.
That weapon is poison, Beck.
And now, because of you, Tesler's ready to derez everyone in that garage until you turn it over.
And he won't stop there.
Then help me.
Please.
I can use it to save my friends.
- Teach me how to control it, and - You can't! You have to destroy it.
No.
I need it.
Then your friends are already dead.
This kind of power comes at a price, Beck.
If you won't destroy it, I will.
I I didn't mean Now do you see why it needs to be destroyed? I chose you for a reason, Beck.
You're strong both physically and mentally.
Now prove it.
You brought them here? You brought this on yourself.
When I get out of these restraints, I'm gonna You're gonna what? Beat me up? Teach me a lesson? I was gonna say derez you.
Didn't anyone ever tell you? Never leave your valuables unattended.
My, my, my how the mighty have fallen! I've always been smarter than you, but now I'm faster! And stronger! Now I'm indestructible! The renegade! He's come to save us! Then who's coming to save him? Come on.
Help me with the others.
It's intoxicating, isn't it? Raw, merciless power! Mara! Zed! Head to the tunnel! I'll meet you down there.
We gotta get out of here! This way.
Follow me! You took a pretty nasty hit.
- Are you sure you're okay? - For the hundredth time, yes.
It takes more than that to keep me down.
I just wish he were here so I could thank him.
- Who? - Tron.
Who else? He saved my life.
Saved all of our lives.
Right, the renegade.
- It wasn't Tron.
- What? He's not the one who saved you.
It was Zed.
Really? You did that? Well, I, uh ahem It it was nothing.
Thank you.
You didn't have to do that.
Yeah, I did.
She should know the truth.
How'd you know? That it was me and not Tron uh, the renegade.
- You weren't even there.
- Yeah, but Mara doesn't know that.
- I really did save her, ya know? - I believe you.
Destroyed?! I promise you, Sir, I won't disappoint you again.
