Colony (2016) s03e08 Episode Script
Lazarus
1 Previously on "Colony" What is that? [retches.]
Do you have a solution? A protocol for building a model colony here in Seattle.
No transitional authority or IGA presence at all.
We are here tonight to welcome our new local community patrol captain, - Roger Erikson.
- Thank you, Laura.
It is an honor to serve all of you, and ensure your safety.
Did they tell you what bus you're in? They said D.
I know I should let it go, but I felt connected to them.
And I wanna know that they landed safely.
Of course they did.
In one of the public housing blocs.
[tense music.]
What's that? I found a crashed crate in the woods.
I think they're dropping those from planes.
- [car door opens.]
- Off duty.
Is that any way to greet an old friend? You're a hard man to find, Mr.
Dalton.
[sighs.]
[music intensifies.]
[ominous music.]
[alarm blaring.]
[breathing heavily.]
[grunts, retches.]
[footsteps approaching.]
I got him.
Block 23.
[prod buzzes.]
[grunts.]
[alarm blaring.]
[prod buzzes.]
[prod buzzes, electricity crackles.]
[all grunting.]
[prod buzzes.]
[prod buzzes.]
[tense music.]
[drone whirs.]
Watch him.
Watch him.
[prod buzzing.]
[all grunting.]
[groans.]
[all grunt.]
Outlier recaptured.
[dramatic music.]
[ominous music.]
I thought I had balls walking into this colony.
But you Didn't exactly come in through the main gate.
How'd you get inside? A friend left the door unlocked.
You don't have a phone? I'm completely off the grid.
You said you had something? What's your read on this place? Better than what's outside, that's for sure.
It's just the LA Colony in a shinier package.
I found some eyes-only IGA documents in LA.
Seattle's a critical asset.
They're working on something big here, some kind of bio-weapon.
- To use against us? - Don't know.
But I've been surveilling a target inside the Seattle Initiative.
I'm ready to approach him.
Thought you might wanna help with that.
Have you spoken to Katie? I was guessing from her new job that she might not be receptive.
You got a plan? Yeah.
Meet my partner.
- Then we get to work.
- [exhales.]
Attention: Please proceed to bus loading zone.
And do you have any family members living in Seattle? Our nephew was attending Washington when it happened.
But, uh [pen gliding.]
Ms.
Dalton.
Ms.
Dalton? Thank you.
That concludes the first part of the exam.
[indistinct chatter.]
- Got a minute? - Hey, what's up? I went to see the Winslows.
And they weren't at that apartment.
You went to the apartment? What happened to them? I don't know.
Maybe they weren't home.
No.
No one was there.
The whole building was empty.
Why would you do that? Why would you go there? Well, because I fought for months to get the Winslows placed, and I wanted to make sure they were okay.
What what's going on? Where are we sending people? There was a day not long ago when it was you on the other side of that desk, just hoping for a second chance.
You would have done anything to be here.
To have a home, a job, a place for your kids to go to school.
And I'm grateful for all of that.
Then do your job.
You have a lot of open cases.
You should start clearing them.
Would you like another cup of tea, Mr.
Snyder? I've had more tea than the Queen.
How much longer is it going to be? I'm sure it will just be another second.
[device beeps.]
He's ready for you now.
[keyboard clacking.]
Alan Snyder.
[chuckles.]
Global Authority war hero.
I, uh this is a privilege.
The privilege is all mine, Mr.
Kynes.
I came to study at the feet of the master.
You're looking for a second career in information technology? I'm afraid my current responsibilities occupy too much of my bandwidth already.
I'm sure.
[chuckles.]
You're an attaché now.
Or or is it, uh, liaison? I'm a man in need of guidance.
It's no secret that the IGA is keen to replicate the success that you've had in Seattle.
As we speak, Colonies all over the world are following your lead.
I've been personally overseeing the implementation of your protocol in Los Angeles for the last six months.
With little success, I'm hearing.
Los Angeles has been going through some growing pains.
But that's to be expected when building out a franchise, isn't it? Mm.
What can I do for you? Since there is no IGA presence in your bloc, it's impossible to assess exactly how you implemented your protocol here.
As you know, there's a large difference between theory and practice.
- You haven't read my memos? - I have.
Scrupulously.
But I'm more of a visual learner.
Oh, you came for the grand tour.
I just want the other Colonies to be as successful as Seattle.
You know what they say.
A rising tide lifts all the boats.
I'm not much of a seaman, but don't they also say you shouldn't build a new boat with old wood? I've made my share of mistakes.
But I try to learn from them.
That's an admirable trait.
Hey.
We're on the same side.
I would love to take you behind the curtain.
Personally.
Amy Leonard.
Will Bowman.
Ah, the famous friend from Los Angeles.
I've heard a lot about you.
Who is she? Amy was with a cell in San Fernando.
Helped me smuggle survivors out of the LA bloc after the Rendition.
She's also the one who found the workaround to get me into Seattle.
Nice place.
You must be useful to them.
I'm a doctor.
Once they found that out, they didn't ask a lot of follow-up questions.
Good story.
She's fully vetted.
We have solid intel.
And a target of opportunity.
You wanna hear about it? I'm listening.
We've identified a couple of black sites and an asset who has access.
We think he's some kind of courier, moving classified materials from site to site.
He travels in an unmarked SUV, keeps odd hours.
But I can't pin down his schedule without a car.
[ominous music.]
Let's say hello.
[indistinct chatter.]
There's our guy.
He's the only one who ever leaves here with luggage.
He's always met by the same driver in the same SUV.
[SUV engine turns over.]
[foreboding music.]
He's making an exchange.
Any idea what he might be carrying? Nope.
Will.
[tense music.]
[grunts.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm just looking for my fare.
I'm with the motor pool.
Look, I'm sorry, I didn't see you.
My cab is over there.
It was an accident.
We're late.
Back to stations.
- [SUV doors close.]
- Stand down.
- Back inside.
- It's okay.
[SUV door closes, engine turns over.]
[tires squeal.]
What the hell was that? I just wanted to get a closer look at his security.
Hey, Marina.
Tablet freeze up again? Uh, no, not yet, but the day is young.
I, uh, I'm here about today's D4 cases.
- Bus D, Gate 4? - Mm-hmm.
I'd like a list of who's headed there, please.
I didn't think you were working buses today.
I know.
Marcus is running late, and Michelle asked me to bring him a copy.
No problem.
I'll send it to your tablet.
Thank you um, can I get a hard copy, since you know how I am with that tablet? - I'll get it to you right away.
- Thank you.
[indistinct chatter.]
- [PA chimes.]
- Buses C and D are now departing through the south gate.
If you received your transfer papers, please report there now.
- Hi.
- Mr.
Kynes.
Hi, everyone.
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work.
Michelle, isn't it? Yes, sir.
It's good to see you.
How's the family? Everyone's doing great.
I'm glad to hear that.
Well, what do you think, Alan? So, this is where it starts.
You're bringing in hundreds every week? Eh, thousands recently.
We've seen to it that everyone west of the Rockies knows about our Colony.
Los Angeles is offering the housing, the medical care.
You're not seeing our numbers.
What are we missing? The invasion brought a lot of hardship and misery to a lot of people.
That along with poor conditions in in poorly-run Colonies.
[chuckles.]
The intake is always slow at first.
But hope travels fast.
We promise the refugees what they need and we deliver.
People come here because this is an oasis.
So the big secret is positive press.
Positive enough that people overlook the fine print.
[chuckles.]
We've remade Seattle into the proverbial - "Shining City on the Hill.
" - [scoffs.]
This is now what the other Colonies should've been.
But your presence here shows me that at least the IGA is finally listening.
How are you feeding all of these people? Even with a fraction of your intake, Los Angeles is having ration issues.
I'm glad you asked.
That's our next stop.
[door closes.]
How'd it go? Productive.
We have enough of the courier's routine to start planning the op.
How was Will? Will's Will.
Something on your mind? Look, I don't know the guy, but I know the look.
I've seen it in every hospital I've worked in.
Something bad happened to your friend.
He's not handling it well.
Seems fine to me.
Are you sure you wanna bring him in on this? Will's a good operator.
He knows what he's doing.
All right.
When our tango makes his last stop for the day, you and Will will be waiting in the cab here.
You'll tail him to the alley.
I'll disable the vehicle, then you'll use the cab to make sure they can't reverse out.
Will's gonna grab the target while I handle the driver.
You just need to get behind the wheel of the cab and be ready to bug out.
Whole thing should take 30, 40 seconds.
Sounds easy.
[overlapping chatter.]
You've been a cop before? Or like, ROTC or something? Mm-mm, just wanted a change of scene.
My friend told me the benefits are good.
I just hope the physical requirements aren't too tough.
Everyone, take your seats, please.
Thank you.
I'm Captain Roger Erikson.
Team Leader for the Pioneer Square unit of the Seattle Community Patrol.
I'd like to start by thanking you all for your choice to serve our city.
Now, here in Seattle we do things a little bit differently.
We are peacekeepers.
We are ambassadors.
Being a part of the patrol is not about policing your community, it's about protecting your community.
Any questions before we start? Sir.
Who assigns patrol shifts? Patrol schedules are issued monthly.
Any request to change your schedule needs to be cleared by a supervising officer.
Great, let's begin.
You can open your start pack to page one.
Follow along.
One.
- [fence rattles.]
- Oh.
- [groans softly.]
- You suck at soccer.
Yeah.
[chuckles.]
Do you think I'm gonna make the team? I don't know.
How good are the other kids? You're just supposed to say yes.
Sorry.
How'd you feel about maybe playing for North Shore instead? Well I'd have to be going to school up there.
Uh-huh.
I don't wanna switch schools.
I started making friends.
Well, North Shore has all kinds of cool programs.
Advanced science, math, computer tech.
Look, you're really smart.
And Seattle's a place where either you get on the right track or you get left behind.
I don't want you to end up delivering groceries.
Can I still live at home? Maybe.
Or I may get an apartment up there.
With your girlfriend? [scoffs.]
What girlfriend? I don't think we can live together.
Her father's pretty old school.
He'd probably murder me.
What's her name? Meadow.
What do you like about her? She's normal.
Normal? I mean, she's other things too.
She's smart like you.
Super funny.
The best part about being around her is it's easy to pretend all the bad stuff never happened.
She's just kind of normal.
Am I normal? [chuckles.]
No.
Bram! You're the most mature 12-year-old on the planet.
Sometimes I think you must be like Merlin, traveling backward through time.
Show-off.
[giggles.]
Come on, let's go.
[indistinct chatter.]
All those who have received preliminary notice for transfer, proceed to the bus loading zone and wait for your name to be called.
- Are you with a case? - Uh, I am.
I'm with a family that just came through, and their little boy left this behind.
Can I just have a minute to go look for them? - Sure.
- All those who have received preliminary notice for transfer, proceed to the bus loading zone and wait for your name to be called.
[indistinct chatter.]
Psst, psst.
Want that? - Yeah.
- Okay.
[laughs.]
Excuse me, sir.
What's your name? Don Lewis.
Don Lewis.
I'm Laura, Mr.
Lewis.
Something wrong with my application? No, not at all.
They just sent me to help.
Can I take that from you? - Thank you very much.
- [chuckles.]
All right.
All those who have received preliminary notice for transfer, proceed to the bus loading zone and wait for your name to be called.
Here.
Right here.
Hello, citizens.
Due to a temporary housing shortage in Seattle, you have been selected for an exciting new opportunity in the Portland Colony.
You will be among the first settlers, which means you will have priority access to state of the art housing and dynamic job opportunities.
Congratulations.
[bus door hisses open.]
[indistinct chatter.]
- Right this way.
- Thank you.
- Great.
- Hold my hand, okay? Step right up, please.
Step right up.
I guess this is my stop.
Thanks for keeping me company.
Hope Portland's as good as they say.
Me too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Come with me, please.
- Oh, thank you.
[indistinct chatter.]
[foreboding music.]
Portland? What're you talking about? They're lying to us.
What did you do? Hundreds of people come here every day.
- Families, children - Lower your voice.
We are offering them a home in Seattle, and jobs and safety.
And then we're we're we're packing them onto buses, and shipping them off God knows where.
Our job is to run the interviews - and process the intakes.
- And then what? That's not our problem.
You knew about this.
Oh, no, I have no idea what you're talking about, because I don't ask the wrong kinds of questions.
I know how much you care about the job, so I'm gonna forget about this little incident.
But I suggest you take the day, and, um get your head straight.
[ominous music.]
Their vehicle is disabled.
We pin them in the alley, and then? We've been over this.
Humor me.
Broussard and I take care of business.
You hang back and watch for bogeys.
Once we have the target, I drive him out of there.
I actually might have you drive depending on how feisty the target is.
Be over before you know it.
How do you do that? - Do what? - That.
Shut off the part of your brain that knows how crazy this is.
It works out or it doesn't.
You really don't think about what could happen - if this goes bad? - No.
I don't get it.
I only have to worry about myself, but you have kids.
Just do your job.
How did the organic vegans of Seattle feel about their produce being farmed by people in hazmat suits? Opinions change quickly when faced with real adversity.
[knocks on glass.]
We grew those here in our lab.
They were matured in a, uh, solution for just over three hours.
No fields, no dirt, no sunlight.
If I didn't know any better, I'd guess that this is our Host's technology.
It is.
You stole it from them? They gave it to me.
- They gave it to you? - Yes.
- And the IGA knows about it? - They do now.
- What else did they give you? - That's it.
For now.
- Can you show me how you do it? - Of course.
But there's a two hour decontamination process to get into the lab.
We can get you into a suit, or we could head over to the holding facility if if you still wanna see it.
We're on a clock? They don't allow vessels to land on the island past 8:00.
We have to take a boat? You get seasick? [tense music.]
Here we go.
He's leaving.
What're you doing? We have to go.
Tell Broussard we're aborting.
- What? - Out now.
[engine revs.]
[tires screeching.]
[tires pop.]
[tires screech.]
[thuds.]
Get down! [groans.]
[gunshot.]
- What the hell happened? - I don't know.
Will threw me out of the cab and took off.
God damn it.
Get the hell out of here.
Now.
[ominous music.]
[ominous music.]
Ready, sir? Watch your step, please.
[boat engine revs.]
Hey, Mom.
Hey, Bear.
How was your day? [sighs.]
Fine.
- Have you eaten? - Yeah.
There's food in the fridge if you want some.
What're you wearing? I'm going to work.
For the patrol? It's better than being a delivery guy.
We should've talked about this.
We don't talk about anything.
I just want you to be safe.
So do I? We need to fit in.
And if I do well at the Patrol, Gracie can go to a better school.
- Night.
- Night.
Just be careful.
[door closes.]
- You okay, Mom? - I'm fine.
Let's get some dinner.
[ominous music.]
[indistinct chatter.]
- That was bullshit.
- What happened? You tell me.
Your guy saw something and just bailed.
That doesn't sound like Will.
You're right, I'm making it up.
He must've had a good reason for doing what he did.
Yeah, he's unstable.
Look, this isn't the first op to go south and it won't be the last.
But you did what you were supposed to do.
You improvised.
I'm not looking for an "atta-girl.
" - We could've been killed.
- I'll handle it.
The guys who responded to the crime scene, they were pros.
- Not Community Patrol.
- Nope.
From the way they rolled up, I don't think they were just responding to a crime scene.
They were looking for something.
[foreboding music.]
[lock clacks.]
Is that your bullet? What the hell is that stuff? [muffled gunshot.]
That's not human technology.
No.
Where did it come from? How did that guy get his hands on it? [sighs.]
Will? You okay? You were right about this Colony.
Something bad is happening.
Did you know that Bram joined the Community Patrol? Good for Bram.
Please stay.
[sighs.]
[door opens.]
[door slams shut.]
[bell jangles.]
Hey.
Wow, you actually went through with it.
I heard a rumor that you like men in uniform.
Uh I hope you're not talking about my dad.
Wow, this just got weird.
[chuckling.]
Did you tell your parents? My mom knows.
What about Gracie? - She said I looked like the UPS man.
- [chuckles.]
I like her style.
When can I meet them? Soon.
What, are you afraid they're not gonna like me? No, of course not.
It's just, my family's complicated.
You should meet Gracie though.
Cool.
Kynes is exactly as you described.
Right down to the galactic size of his ego.
But I do have to admit that he's running a smooth operation.
It's like everything we wanna do in Los Angeles, and are trying, except better.
Now, there are plenty of empty capsules at the outlier facility, but he's definitely meeting his quotas.
Okay.
I'll check in later.
[ominous music.]
Can you hear me over the jammer? Kynes is smart, so I decided to play it friendly.
But it's even worse than we thought.
He's in direct communication with the Hosts.
In fact, they've given him access to their technology.
Unprecedented access.
I know, but I actually think that it's, uh it's good news.
Kynes claims that our Hosts are aware of everything that he's doing.
But he's not that kind of person just to sit around and grow mutant cabbages.
Yeah.
He's hiding something.
And I'm gonna find it.
A new set arrived this morning.
All admitted through D4.
Go tell our new citizens the good news.
[knocking on door.]
Start explaining.
Explaining what? Walking out on the op.
Hanging us out to dry.
You nearly got us killed.
I told your girl to abort.
You knew it was too late for that.
I saw Alan Snyder.
Where? Leaving the same building as our target.
I followed him to the docks.
He took a boat to that facility on Blake Island.
The one with the launch platform.
If he's here it's for something big.
What went down with you and Snyder? It doesn't matter.
It does if you wanna keep working together.
Charlie.
- What happened to him? - Say that name again, I'm gone.
Fine, go.
Because this isn't how I do business.
Yeah, you had a real crack squad of pros back in LA.
Look.
You and me working together, we can get to Snyder.
And the man has no principles.
If you put the screws to him, he'll tell you everything he knows.
What do you get out of it? [foreboding music.]
When you're done I'm gonna kill him.
Do you have a solution? A protocol for building a model colony here in Seattle.
No transitional authority or IGA presence at all.
We are here tonight to welcome our new local community patrol captain, - Roger Erikson.

Dalton.
[sighs.]

Thank you um, can I get a hard copy, since you know how I am with that tablet? - I'll get it to you right away.
- Thank you.
[indistinct chatter.]
- [PA chimes.]
- Buses C and D are now departing through the south gate.
If you received your transfer papers, please report there now.
- Hi.
- Mr.
Kynes.
Hi, everyone.
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work.
Michelle, isn't it? Yes, sir.
It's good to see you.
How's the family? Everyone's doing great.
I'm glad to hear that.
Well, what do you think, Alan? So, this is where it starts.
You're bringing in hundreds every week? Eh, thousands recently.
We've seen to it that everyone west of the Rockies knows about our Colony.
Los Angeles is offering the housing, the medical care.
You're not seeing our numbers.
What are we missing? The invasion brought a lot of hardship and misery to a lot of people.
That along with poor conditions in in poorly-run Colonies.
[chuckles.]
The intake is always slow at first.
But hope travels fast.
We promise the refugees what they need and we deliver.
People come here because this is an oasis.
So the big secret is positive press.
Positive enough that people overlook the fine print.
[chuckles.]
We've remade Seattle into the proverbial - "Shining City on the Hill.
" - [scoffs.]
This is now what the other Colonies should've been.
But your presence here shows me that at least the IGA is finally listening.
How are you feeding all of these people? Even with a fraction of your intake, Los Angeles is having ration issues.
I'm glad you asked.
That's our next stop.
[door closes.]
How'd it go? Productive.
We have enough of the courier's routine to start planning the op.
How was Will? Will's Will.
Something on your mind? Look, I don't know the guy, but I know the look.
I've seen it in every hospital I've worked in.
Something bad happened to your friend.
He's not handling it well.
Seems fine to me.
Are you sure you wanna bring him in on this? Will's a good operator.
He knows what he's doing.
All right.
When our tango makes his last stop for the day, you and Will will be waiting in the cab here.
You'll tail him to the alley.
I'll disable the vehicle, then you'll use the cab to make sure they can't reverse out.
Will's gonna grab the target while I handle the driver.
You just need to get behind the wheel of the cab and be ready to bug out.
Whole thing should take 30, 40 seconds.
Sounds easy.
[overlapping chatter.]
You've been a cop before? Or like, ROTC or something? Mm-mm, just wanted a change of scene.
My friend told me the benefits are good.
I just hope the physical requirements aren't too tough.
Everyone, take your seats, please.
Thank you.
I'm Captain Roger Erikson.
Team Leader for the Pioneer Square unit of the Seattle Community Patrol.
I'd like to start by thanking you all for your choice to serve our city.
Now, here in Seattle we do things a little bit differently.
We are peacekeepers.
We are ambassadors.
Being a part of the patrol is not about policing your community, it's about protecting your community.
Any questions before we start? Sir.
Who assigns patrol shifts? Patrol schedules are issued monthly.
Any request to change your schedule needs to be cleared by a supervising officer.
Great, let's begin.
You can open your start pack to page one.
Follow along.
One.
- [fence rattles.]
- Oh.
- [groans softly.]
- You suck at soccer.
Yeah.
[chuckles.]
Do you think I'm gonna make the team? I don't know.
How good are the other kids? You're just supposed to say yes.
Sorry.
How'd you feel about maybe playing for North Shore instead? Well I'd have to be going to school up there.
Uh-huh.
I don't wanna switch schools.
I started making friends.
Well, North Shore has all kinds of cool programs.
Advanced science, math, computer tech.
Look, you're really smart.
And Seattle's a place where either you get on the right track or you get left behind.
I don't want you to end up delivering groceries.
Can I still live at home? Maybe.
Or I may get an apartment up there.
With your girlfriend? [scoffs.]
What girlfriend? I don't think we can live together.
Her father's pretty old school.
He'd probably murder me.
What's her name? Meadow.
What do you like about her? She's normal.
Normal? I mean, she's other things too.
She's smart like you.
Super funny.
The best part about being around her is it's easy to pretend all the bad stuff never happened.
She's just kind of normal.
Am I normal? [chuckles.]
No.
Bram! You're the most mature 12-year-old on the planet.
Sometimes I think you must be like Merlin, traveling backward through time.
Show-off.
[giggles.]
Come on, let's go.
[indistinct chatter.]
All those who have received preliminary notice for transfer, proceed to the bus loading zone and wait for your name to be called.
- Are you with a case? - Uh, I am.
I'm with a family that just came through, and their little boy left this behind.
Can I just have a minute to go look for them? - Sure.
- All those who have received preliminary notice for transfer, proceed to the bus loading zone and wait for your name to be called.
[indistinct chatter.]
Psst, psst.
Want that? - Yeah.
- Okay.
[laughs.]
Excuse me, sir.
What's your name? Don Lewis.
Don Lewis.
I'm Laura, Mr.
Lewis.
Something wrong with my application? No, not at all.
They just sent me to help.
Can I take that from you? - Thank you very much.
- [chuckles.]
All right.
All those who have received preliminary notice for transfer, proceed to the bus loading zone and wait for your name to be called.
Here.
Right here.
Hello, citizens.
Due to a temporary housing shortage in Seattle, you have been selected for an exciting new opportunity in the Portland Colony.
You will be among the first settlers, which means you will have priority access to state of the art housing and dynamic job opportunities.
Congratulations.
[bus door hisses open.]
[indistinct chatter.]
- Right this way.
- Thank you.
- Great.
- Hold my hand, okay? Step right up, please.
Step right up.
I guess this is my stop.
Thanks for keeping me company.
Hope Portland's as good as they say.
Me too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Come with me, please.
- Oh, thank you.
[indistinct chatter.]
[foreboding music.]
Portland? What're you talking about? They're lying to us.
What did you do? Hundreds of people come here every day.
- Families, children - Lower your voice.
We are offering them a home in Seattle, and jobs and safety.
And then we're we're we're packing them onto buses, and shipping them off God knows where.
Our job is to run the interviews - and process the intakes.
- And then what? That's not our problem.
You knew about this.
Oh, no, I have no idea what you're talking about, because I don't ask the wrong kinds of questions.
I know how much you care about the job, so I'm gonna forget about this little incident.
But I suggest you take the day, and, um get your head straight.
[ominous music.]
Their vehicle is disabled.
We pin them in the alley, and then? We've been over this.
Humor me.
Broussard and I take care of business.
You hang back and watch for bogeys.
Once we have the target, I drive him out of there.
I actually might have you drive depending on how feisty the target is.
Be over before you know it.
How do you do that? - Do what? - That.
Shut off the part of your brain that knows how crazy this is.
It works out or it doesn't.
You really don't think about what could happen - if this goes bad? - No.
I don't get it.
I only have to worry about myself, but you have kids.
Just do your job.
How did the organic vegans of Seattle feel about their produce being farmed by people in hazmat suits? Opinions change quickly when faced with real adversity.
[knocks on glass.]
We grew those here in our lab.
They were matured in a, uh, solution for just over three hours.
No fields, no dirt, no sunlight.
If I didn't know any better, I'd guess that this is our Host's technology.
It is.
You stole it from them? They gave it to me.
- They gave it to you? - Yes.
- And the IGA knows about it? - They do now.
- What else did they give you? - That's it.
For now.
- Can you show me how you do it? - Of course.
But there's a two hour decontamination process to get into the lab.
We can get you into a suit, or we could head over to the holding facility if if you still wanna see it.
We're on a clock? They don't allow vessels to land on the island past 8:00.
We have to take a boat? You get seasick? [tense music.]
Here we go.
He's leaving.
What're you doing? We have to go.
Tell Broussard we're aborting.
- What? - Out now.
[engine revs.]
[tires screeching.]
[tires pop.]
[tires screech.]
[thuds.]
Get down! [groans.]
[gunshot.]
- What the hell happened? - I don't know.
Will threw me out of the cab and took off.
God damn it.
Get the hell out of here.
Now.
[ominous music.]
[ominous music.]
Ready, sir? Watch your step, please.
[boat engine revs.]
Hey, Mom.
Hey, Bear.
How was your day? [sighs.]
Fine.
- Have you eaten? - Yeah.
There's food in the fridge if you want some.
What're you wearing? I'm going to work.
For the patrol? It's better than being a delivery guy.
We should've talked about this.
We don't talk about anything.
I just want you to be safe.
So do I? We need to fit in.
And if I do well at the Patrol, Gracie can go to a better school.
- Night.
- Night.
Just be careful.
[door closes.]
- You okay, Mom? - I'm fine.
Let's get some dinner.
[ominous music.]
[indistinct chatter.]
- That was bullshit.
- What happened? You tell me.
Your guy saw something and just bailed.
That doesn't sound like Will.
You're right, I'm making it up.
He must've had a good reason for doing what he did.
Yeah, he's unstable.
Look, this isn't the first op to go south and it won't be the last.
But you did what you were supposed to do.
You improvised.
I'm not looking for an "atta-girl.
" - We could've been killed.
- I'll handle it.
The guys who responded to the crime scene, they were pros.
- Not Community Patrol.
- Nope.
From the way they rolled up, I don't think they were just responding to a crime scene.
They were looking for something.
[foreboding music.]
[lock clacks.]
Is that your bullet? What the hell is that stuff? [muffled gunshot.]
That's not human technology.
No.
Where did it come from? How did that guy get his hands on it? [sighs.]
Will? You okay? You were right about this Colony.
Something bad is happening.
Did you know that Bram joined the Community Patrol? Good for Bram.
Please stay.
[sighs.]
[door opens.]
[door slams shut.]
[bell jangles.]
Hey.
Wow, you actually went through with it.
I heard a rumor that you like men in uniform.
Uh I hope you're not talking about my dad.
Wow, this just got weird.
[chuckling.]
Did you tell your parents? My mom knows.
What about Gracie? - She said I looked like the UPS man.
- [chuckles.]
I like her style.
When can I meet them? Soon.
What, are you afraid they're not gonna like me? No, of course not.
It's just, my family's complicated.
You should meet Gracie though.
Cool.
Kynes is exactly as you described.
Right down to the galactic size of his ego.
But I do have to admit that he's running a smooth operation.
It's like everything we wanna do in Los Angeles, and are trying, except better.
Now, there are plenty of empty capsules at the outlier facility, but he's definitely meeting his quotas.
Okay.
I'll check in later.
[ominous music.]
Can you hear me over the jammer? Kynes is smart, so I decided to play it friendly.
But it's even worse than we thought.
He's in direct communication with the Hosts.
In fact, they've given him access to their technology.
Unprecedented access.
I know, but I actually think that it's, uh it's good news.
Kynes claims that our Hosts are aware of everything that he's doing.
But he's not that kind of person just to sit around and grow mutant cabbages.
Yeah.
He's hiding something.
And I'm gonna find it.
A new set arrived this morning.
All admitted through D4.
Go tell our new citizens the good news.
[knocking on door.]
Start explaining.
Explaining what? Walking out on the op.
Hanging us out to dry.
You nearly got us killed.
I told your girl to abort.
You knew it was too late for that.
I saw Alan Snyder.
Where? Leaving the same building as our target.
I followed him to the docks.
He took a boat to that facility on Blake Island.
The one with the launch platform.
If he's here it's for something big.
What went down with you and Snyder? It doesn't matter.
It does if you wanna keep working together.
Charlie.
- What happened to him? - Say that name again, I'm gone.
Fine, go.
Because this isn't how I do business.
Yeah, you had a real crack squad of pros back in LA.
Look.
You and me working together, we can get to Snyder.
And the man has no principles.
If you put the screws to him, he'll tell you everything he knows.
What do you get out of it? [foreboding music.]
When you're done I'm gonna kill him.
