All language subtitles for [English (United States)] Silo Episode 1 Recap [DownSub.com]

The Story is Based on American writer Hugh
Howey’s novel series of the same name, Silo

is a post-apocalyptic dystopian drama
in which a governed society lives inside a

silo
in which everyone is barred from going outside

and into the ruins of the toxic world that
remains.

No historical data on Earth existed before
the Silo came into being.

How did it lead to this?

And why is no one allowed to go and find out
what’s outside?

What happened to Earth?

The answers lie within Silo.

No one knows who built the Silo, only that
it is supposed to keep the people inside thriving,

locked away from the outside world, which
turned toxic and is in ruins.

Sheriff Holston walks into Holding 3.

A minute later, his subordinate and friend,
Deputy Sam Marnes, finds him there.

He sees Holston staring at the wasteland on
the screen.

A devastated landscape lies before him, along
with a dead body.

Before Sam could stop him, Holston breaks
the cardinal law of the Silo

and says that he wants to go out.

Once made by anyone in the Silo, this request
needs to be fulfilled,

but it is irrevocable.

Allison and Holston are finally granted clearance
for childbearing for a year.

Both are relieved and couldn’t be happier.

Their family is about to be complete.

They are having breakfast at the cafeteria,
and it seems that everyone around them knows

that they are going to have a baby and is
very happy about it too.

That’s when an old woman named Gloria approaches
them and tells Allison,

much to Holston’s disgust, that she offers
fertility counseling, which Allison will find

helpful.

Holston doesn’t like Gloria for some reason
and would rather have her leave his wife alone.

Gloria thus leaves.

Holston tells Allison that Gloria is a fraud.

We have to wait to see what caused this rift
between them.

Later, Allison gets her birth control pill,
which is more like a small metal device, removed

by Doctor Leonard.

She is finally ready to conceive.

Days pass.

Alison is in her IT office with her friend
Karen

one day when their boss Bernard comes and
tells her that he has taken down her article

on recovering deleted files.

She needs his approval before posting such
articles.

Later on, Allison asks Holston that if rebels
erased history, what makes it wrong to question

it?

If they regret losing their past,
why is it not allowed to look for any relic

that may remain in the mines?

Holston tells her that the “pact” is the
only history.

If anyone decides to go outside the Silo to
know more,

it will be the death of everyone.

Holston is responsible for making sure nobody
goes out.

Who are these rebels Allison mentions?

Where are these mines that apparently contain
relics from the past?

Silo’s Freedom Day is knocking on the door.

Childbearing days are down to 157, and Allison
still isn’t pregnant despite their trying.

Gloria finds her and brings her home, asking
if she thinks it was the rebels who erased

historical data or someone else.

Maybe the same people also don’t want her
to bear a child.

Alison shares Gloria’s opinion with Holston,
who, as expected, believes that Gloria has

gone crazy.

He reassures her that they should be positive
about the baby because they have clearance.

There is no other way about it.

Freedom Day is here.

Holston is with Mayor Ruth Jahns, who is going
to give a speech on the occasion.

Alison is supposed to visit a guy named George
Wilkins,

who has yet again called her company for a
repair request on his machine.

Allison arrives at George’s place, and he
shows her an old hard drive,

a relic as per the Judicial pertaining to
her article on recovering lost data.

The drive’s memory is almost full, although
there seems to be no data visible,

which means it’s hidden.

Also, as per George, the drive is more than
140 years old.

In other words, it is from before the rebellion
occurred that led to the deletion of history.

After spending hours researching how to recover
whatever is on it,

Alison manages to crack it using a code engraved
on the drive itself.

The data includes a lot of information on
the Silo, including its blueprints.

This is potentially dangerous, and if the
judicial system finds out,

they can have George killed if not sent out
to the wasteland.

Allison tells him to get rid of the drive
immediately and leaves.

George, however, continues exploring the blueprint
of the Silo

and finds a tunnel at the bottom level that
is separated from the levels above by concrete.

The information is stated as classified.

The next day, she tells Karen that she isn’t
feeling well

and uses the excuse to visit Gloria and find
out what she has to say.

She then returns home and tells Holston that
she will be taking the next day off and going

to the market.

Holston is lost in thoughts about his wife
and wonders if she is doing okay.

The next day, Allison visits George to find
out more about Silo from the drive.

They go through a lot of stuff, but it’s
the last file that leaves Allison utterly

flabbergasted.

She sees footage of green trees, blue skies,
and things flying in the air.

She returns home that night and goes to sleep
without speaking much to Holston.

Allison’s childbearing days are over.

Holston and Doctor Leonard are waiting for
her, as she’s supposed to come there from

work.

After waiting for quite some time, Holston
goes to her office and finds that she called

in sick.

He returns home and finds Allison in a bloodied
state.

She shows her the birth control pill that
she has just cut out of her abdomen.

This means that what Dr. Leonard did a year
ago was a hoax.

The enforcers of the Pact, which brought about
the existence of the Silo, don’t want anyone

to conceive babies
because they need obedient people who will

listen to them.

Holston rushes to bring Doctor Leonard,
and they are on their way back when Holston

bumps into Sam,
who tells him that Allison is in the cafeteria.

He arrives there and finds Allison trying
to explain to the people

how they are being deceived by those with
power.

It is a beautiful world outside, but they
are not letting anyone out.

Before Holston can calm her down, she declares
that she wants to go out.

Sam cuffs her and takes her to a holding facility.

Her wish, which is no less than a crime inside
the Silo, or so it seems, has to be fulfilled.

It is more like a punishment for going against
the authorities and the rules of the place.

Gloria and George are both interrogated, but
nothing substantial is found in their testimonies.

They do not find anything from George’s
place either he must have hidden the drive

somewhere safe.

Holston meets Allison in her cell.

She tells him that the screens show only what
the enforcers want people to see.

If they see nothing, they know nothing.

If they know nothing, they won’t ask anything.

She intends to find out what’s outside,
and once she does, she will come back for

him.

Holston could not be more worried.

Allison is finally dressed up, in a suit and
a helmet, in front of her husband, Holston,

Mayor Ruth Jahns, and Sam.

Once outside the airlock, she is outside the
laws of Silo as well.

Holston reads the oath to Allison with tears
in his eyes.

Allison’s last words are, “I love you.”

She walks out into the wasteland.

People in the Silo cheer as they watch Allison,
via the large screen in the cafeteria, come

out on the other side.

Holston watches tearfully as his wife treads
away from the Silo and soon collapses to the

ground.

Allison is dead.

Mayor Jahns and Sam break down.

George walks out of the cafeteria, saddened,
along with the rest of the people.

Two years later, Holston is in his office
when Sam walks in and informs him that George

Wilkins has been found dead in Level 120.

But the catch is that an engineer on that
level thinks that George was murdered.

Upon examining his body a day later, down
at Level 120, Holston and Sam find a wound

in his head.

However, the engineer who told Sam that George
was killed is absent.

Hank, the guy from the Sheriff’s department,
who showed them George’s body, brings them

to the engineer,
who is working further down in the generator

room.

Her name is Juliette Nichols.

Holston is inside Holding 3.

He is speaking to Sam, who has pulled a chair
and tells him that even if it really is Allison,

whom they have seen lying dead outside for
more than 2 years now,

he has decided to go out there and find the
truth

that she intended to look for.

Who are the enforcers?

What exactly is the Pact?

Where is the mine that Allison mentions that
is supposed to contain relics from the past?

Where does the tunnel at the bottom of the
Silo lead to?

Who killed George?

Is this a sign that someone doesn’t want
anyone to find out what’s beyond the Silo?

What did Juliette tell Holston that ultimately
made him decide to go outside in search of

the truth, just like Allison?

Silo, despite having the very common search-for-truth-in-a-dystopian-society
plot, moves at a steady pace.

We can tell that there’s more outside than
the people in the Silo think.

Silo Episode 1 has established this fact pretty
well

and that there is something that the people
with power don’t want the common folk to

find out.

However, we do not get any sign of things
being limited, which should be the case.

They do not have much space to grow crops.

So where does all the food come from?

Where do they store the water, and where does
it come from?

How big is the Silo, really?

It is painful to see how Allison addresses
birds as “things” flying in the sky.

This makes it clear that she and the others
as well, have never seen birds in their lives.

So, we can assume that nature is something
that is missing from their lives.

Hopefully, as the show proceeds, we will find
out more about Silo

and how it has been able to keep its residents
in the dark about the outer world.
