Colony (2016) s01e04 Episode Script

1 Previously on Colony Come on! Move.
Whatever you're going through we're going through together.
I love you.
I'm a Collaborator, Katie.
You are protecting our family.
Our choice is clear, my friends.
Resist or die.
There's a woman running a unit.
I've seen her type before when I was deployed.
Ex-CIA, if I had to guess.
Tell Katie her intel needs to outweigh the damage that her husband is doing to us.
They have this huge database of information and more importantly, they have a woman who knows how to manipulate it.
Who is she? First I want to make a deal.
My husband is never harmed, ever.
Hey, man, it's too early, man.
No, no, no, no, you're always complaining.
- What's up, Dee? - What's up? Dee, you gonna smile today, huh? bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do what you gonna do when they come for you He sings the same stupid song every single day.
I just think that they should make a show about us, busting down doors and kicking ass.
What do you think, Dee? Against the wall.
We're looking for Marla Nelson.
- Room 201.
- This way.
- Class, we talked about-- - Stay seated-- sit down! - What's going on? - You need to come with us.
Why? What for? You know what for.
No, look, this is a misunderstanding.
I was just using Bradbury to explore-- - Hey, leave her alone! - Shut up! She didn't do anything! Let go of her, man! All of you, be quiet! Get in your seat now! In your seat now! Please, I have two little girls at home.
Just give me a chance to explain.
Hey, you hit that kid pretty hard back there.
Don't be such a pussy.
Copy.
Additional units in sight.
Over.
What do we got tomorrow? Same shit, different day.
Okay, babe, let's do this.
You know who else gets your special medicine? Who? Spider-Man.
No he doesn't.
He does.
I swear.
It's what makes him big and strong.
A spider made him big and strong.
Want to stand up for me? Okay.
Band-aid.
All set, kiddo.
Ya did great.
Are we gonna run out of medicine? No, no we're not.
Don't worry about that, okay? 'Kay.
Anything new? Pattern's getting clearer.
Homeland uses the same key groups of guys in the same concentration every time they move a VIP.
If we're prepared, we'll get our opportunity.
What about Katie? If her operation doesn't work It'll work.
So Lindsay's coming to hang out with you and Grace again today, right? Yeah.
I want you to mind your manners.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Come on.
- Hey, it's Ration Car Tuesday.
Hope everybody's having lots of fun out there.
- Morning.
- Morning! - Hey, Hudson.
- Good-bye, babe.
Sister-in-law.
- What you drawing? - A kitty cat.
You look nice.
Something special going on today? Ah, we'll see.
Beau said you needed to talk to me? Close the door.
Come with me.
I want you to see this.
This is everything we know about the Los Angeles insurgency.
You think all these cells are operating independently? I do, despite what Snyder and the others want to believe.
People have a psychological need to find the super-villain, but in my experience, reality is a lot more complicated.
So who is Geronimo? That's a very good question.
You've never brought me behind the curtain before-- why now? Well, you were forced to take this job, but there are legitimate reasons for you to be doing it.
Morality's complicated for people in our position.
I was in Iraq after the invasion, and in hindsight, we had a window of opportunity before everything turned to shit.
Maybe if we'd shot the first five guys who looted the National Museum, everything would have been different.
Or maybe not.
A million people died in the Iraq war, and for what? Is the life of the average person better or worse? So right now, the resistance is just a nuisance, but if, in six months' time, all these groups coalesce around Geronimo, it's really gonna be dangerous.
Do you think they can do real damage? Well, not to our visitors, but to us.
To all the people living here in this block.
I mean, if this resistance miraculously managed to do something meaningful, do you have any idea the kind of retribution that would rain down upon us? There's no version of an effective resistance.
There's just misguided idealism that leads to death and despair.
Can you come with us, Mom? I have work to do, bear, but I'm sorry.
I will catch up with you guys later.
- Okay.
- All right, kiddos.
Park time.
- Bye, Mrs.
Bowman.
- Bye.
One two three four five six seven, eight nine ten.
Hi, this is Katie Bowman.
I need to speak with my husband.
It's an emergency.
I'm fine.
- Kids? - She took him to the park.
It's okay.
They weren't here.
They weren't here.
I'm sorry.
- Look, I have to go inside.
- It's okay.
Have you checked the basement? Hey, how you doin'? Just dandy.
Katie was home when it happened.
This wasn't just about scaring me.
Nah, middle of the day.
Bold move.
Hey, where are they going? Hey! Are they searching my house? - It's protocol.
- Let's just take a walk.
You know how this goes, man.
Just let 'em do their thing.
It's bullshit.
Sooner started, sooner finished.
Are they searching our house? - It's protocol.
- We found this.
It was probably in the bomb-- an old Indian Head penny.
Looks like Geronimo was sending a message.
I wonder how he knew I was working with your team.
What? You think I'm involved? - I don't know, are you? - Are you serious? Hey, hey, hey, let's just chill out.
Um, Mrs.
Bowman, my name is Jennifer MacMahon.
I need you to come down to our office.
- Not gonna happen! - It's okay, Will.
No, you don't have to do this.
She wants to figure out who bombed our house.
So do I.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Please, come in.
Why don't you take a walk, hmm? Let me talk to Katie for a minute.
Right this way.
This way.
Thank you-- next.
All persons entering the Green Zone - are subject to search.
- All right, go.
- Step forward.
- Remain in line at all times - Arms.
- and proceed through the gate when instructed.
All right, keep moving.
All persons entering the Green Zone are subject to search.
- Remain in line at all times - Arms.
and proceed through the gate when instructed.
Turn around.
Arms.
All persons entering the Green Zone are subject to search.
Remain in line at all times and proceed through the gate when instructed.
Let's go, grab a bag.
Move along.
You-- next.
Come on.
Lucky day.
Administrative pull for you.
I'm happy to meet you.
I wish it were under better circumstances, of course.
It's been a long day.
I understand.
I want to assure you that you and your family are going to be perfectly safe from now on.
How do you guarantee that? Homeland Security is speaking to your neighbors, letting all of them know that if anything happens to you and your family, everyone will be held personally responsible.
Sorry, what? And we've assigned a block captain.
It's Patrick and Joanna Hart.
They live two doors down.
They're gonna be assigning watch duties and having regular security briefings with our team.
I promise you, everybody on the street is going to be very concerned for your safety.
In other words, our neighbors are gonna be scared shitless of us.
They're gonna learn to respect your position in the Authority.
So take me through what happened.
Uh, I was upstairs.
Doing what? Folding laundry.
And then? Um I heard a crash in the living room, I ran down the stairs, I saw the fire, I grabbed the fire extinguisher.
You keep one in the house? Yeah, under the sink.
And the attacker-- what did he look like? He was dressed all in black with a mask over his face.
But you did see him.
Yeah.
So this attacker throws a bomb into your house and waits for you to run all the way downstairs and grab the fire extinguisher and then lets you get a look at him? Are you asking me to explain the motivations of a man who was attacking my family? Maybe he wanted you to see him, send a message.
Well if the message was to terrify me, it worked.
How did you and Will meet? Uh, he came into my bar in New Orleans.
When he was still a Ranger stationed at Fort Benning.
Yes.
So, Will joins the FBI, and you move four times, and you wind up here in LA.
Don't you miss the South? It's why I opened the Yonk.
That must have caused some stress in your marriage.
Sorry-- what does any of this have to do with finding who fire-bombed my house? Will's in the FBI.
You're running a bar not to mention that you're a very attractive woman.
Men must have been throwing themselves at you.
I don't know what you're getting at, but Will and I trust each other.
Good.
Hey.
- Hey.
- What happened? - I don't know.
- What'd she ask you? Um - Hey-- - U-uh I had to go through everything three times, and-- and-- You know what? It's over.
It's fine.
I really want to go home.
Okay.
I'll get you a ride.
Mrs.
Burgess.
I heard about the work you're doing.
It's really inspiring to see how concerned you are with preserving these important works of art.
- And you are - Maddie Kenner.
I'm filling the assistant job you requested from the pool.
Photocopy these museum records and file them alphabetically by artist.
I think I can handle that.
What'd you say to my wife? Sit down.
In all the different jobs that I've had, I've always been valued for being able to see the truth about things.
But that's become a lot harder since the Arrival.
We're taught lies about the greatness of our hosts, lies about all the good things they're gonna do for us.
Lies which we are forced to regurgitate.
Why are you telling me this? Because that's our world now, Will.
We lie to everyone.
We lie to our friends and our colleagues and our family.
We lie out of fear.
We lie to protect ourselves.
Because that's how we survive.
But when lying becomes this pervasive, if becomes a lot harder to see the truth.
Homeland found these in your son's bedroom.
Apparently, he's been taping Geronimo's broadcasts.
Let me fix this.
If these tapes were to get logged into the system, there's nothing I could do.
But if they're sitting in my drawer Appreciate that.
I suggest that you go back home and be sure that these tapes aren't the only thing that you've missed.
"Corn beans began to sprout a huge stalk up into the clouds.
" Mom! Are you okay, Mrs.
Bowman? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It's lucky you asked me to take the kids to the park.
Thank you, Lindsey.
Why don't you, uh why don't you head home for the day? See you tomorrow, kids.
Bye, Lindsey.
Why did this happen? I guess because sometimes people do bad things.
We need to talk.
Some asshole bombs our house so the Redhats can wreck my room? What do you think you're doing? You've been recording Geronimo? What? They found your tapes.
A lot of people do it.
It's not that big of a deal.
It's a huge deal.
They can make whatever they want out of this.
You do anything else? No, I just made the tapes.
I didn't do anything else.
You tell anybody about my new job? No, of course not.
How do you know when the broadcasts are happening? How do you know when to tape them? It's in the posters.
Whenever new posters go up around the city, it's a signal a broadcast is coming.
This is a code.
It tells you the time and date of the next message.
You figured this out yourself? Me and some of my friends.
So what's gonna happen to me? I'm gonna fix this.
Thanks.
I thought Broussard was gonna be here.
He's working.
These are photos of people coming and going from the Green Zone.
Point out Will's boss to me.
I need a guarantee that my husband will be safe.
Broussard already made that deal.
I need to hear it from you.
You need? I believe in this cause.
I have proven my loyalty to you.
But I cannot live with a gun pointed at my family's head.
He won't be touched.
This is her.
Her name is Phyllis.
My fellow Colonists, welcome to day 348 of our occupation.
This morning I want to talk to you about Ocho.
He's a simple man who grew up in Eastern Los Angeles.
He walked to his bus stop thinking about what he could trade or what he could do that week to make ends meet; to put food in the mouths of his frightened and hungry family.
- Will? - Talk to me.
Looks like we've got a right on Crenshaw.
And that was when the truck rolled into his life, and this truck was bound for the same place Ocho was-- - the Green Zone.
- Left on Washington! 45 seconds.
We gotta do this now.
Listen up.
The signal's converging at the next cross street.
- What's there? - A library.
The attack was meant only to take food from those who had everything and redistribute it to those who had none.
By the time Ocho heard the first signs of the drones, it was already too late.
My fellow Colonists, brothers and sisters, hermanos y hermanas, if you never hear my voice again, I want you to remember the words of Frederick Douglass.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did, and it never will.
Go, go! The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
The one thing they cannot take from you, my fellow Colonists is hope.
Get on your knees! Do it now! - This is 5855.
- Come on! - Target acquired.
- Gimme your hands! Copy that, 5855.
- We're good.
- All right, copy that.
I'm getting out, all right? That's Geronimo.
Your friends fire-bombed my house this morning.
My wife and kids were home.
It's a shame they missed you.
Easy, Will! - Who's Geronimo? - I'm Geronimo! - Bullshit! - Will.
Bullshit.
Thank you so much.
We'll take it from here.
Come on.
Let's go.
Time for us to get out of here.
I communicated to our Hosts that we captured Geronimo.
They were very pleased.
You spoke to them directly? Well, no.
Through Helena.
Yes, come in.
There he is! My all-star.
Great job today.
It's not him.
What? What are you talking about? Call it an educated guess.
It's not Geronimo.
Did you observe the interrogation? I don't need to see what goes on down there.
That guy we caught was doing pirate radio, yeah, but I seriously doubt he's the mastermind of your insurgency.
Is this true? Well, we'll have to see what the interrogation yields, but I trust Will's instincts.
Shit.
I already passed the news upstairs.
You know, dismantling insurgencies is all about breaking links in a chain.
This might not be what we hoped, but this is progress.
I guess I'll put the champagne on ice.
Guess Snyder's not the first difficult boss you've had to deal with.
Not even close.
He'll get over it.
You told Georgina Anderton that she was getting the Ai Weiwei? The Ai Weiwei got sent up after the Arrival.
We don't have anything else to send her with that kind of cachet.
What about the Hockney? It's a lesser Hockney.
You think she won't know that? David Schwartz had an Ai Weiwei.
He lived up off Coldwater.
How do you know that? Because I used to work at the gallery that sold it to him.
Yo, anything? Nothing yet! The detainee said this is where he picked up the radio scripts.
He would have said anything to get out of that room.
Hey, Will! Check it out! Right.
What are you looking at? The Green Zone.
- Where do you want this? - You can just leave it - right over there.
- Okay.
So, you were right about the Schwartz' house.
What other big collections are still out there? I'm not sure.
Would a more permanent position jog your memory? My son is a diabetic.
We've been having trouble getting his insulin.
That would never be a problem if you were a member of my staff.
I might know the location of a few more collections.
Excellent.
But if you work for me, you work for me.
- Do you understand? - Absolutely.
Be here at 9:00 AM tomorrow.
Han Dynasty.
Was actually once a part of the Great Wall, or so they told us in Beijing.
Antiquities aren't my specialty.
- You are - Maddie.
I'm working for Charlotte.
My wife has excellent taste.
Would you like some more? Wine? I have to get home.
- Maybe some other time? - Sure.
Geronimo's in the Green Zone? Snyder's not gonna be happy.
A lot of people aren't gonna be happy, but I'll handle it.
You just better be right.
I'd bet on it.
I, um I destroyed your son's tapes.
Really? Why, you wanna check the drawer? You might be the kind of person that kept 'em for leverage, but not in that drawer.
It's a shame how few people we have who we can really trust, isn't it? Very true.
Hey.
Hey.
You all right? Long day.
What's the matter? How are the kids? Uh, Gracie's still a little scared, and Bram's Bram.
I love you.
I love you too.
Mm.
What happened to the beach photo? Did it get broken in the fire? No, your clumsy wife managed to knock it off the wall and break the glass.
I'll fix it.
You better.
I love that photo.
- I gotta open the Yonk.
- Okay.
I'll finish this up.
You okay to say good night to Gracie? - Course.
- All right.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
Remember this? Yeah, Charlie's birthday.
Um, about the tapes I took care of it.
You're okay.
Thanks, Dad.
What about Geronimo? What about him? Do you know why I listen to those tapes? Because Geronimo is the only person telling us that someday things might change.
I know you're good at your job, Dad, but maybe with Geronimo, you don't have to be so good.
Come have a drink with me.
Shouldn't this be "the Yok," not "the Yonk"? I mean, the "N" is after the "K.
" Yok-na-patawpha.
- I like "the Yonk" better.
- Fair enough.
I brought my own.
I hope you don't mind.
What are you doing here? Please, Katie, join me.
This was my husband's favorite.
Mm.
Ed and I took a trip up the California coast to celebrate our fifth anniversary.
All the way up PCH to Point Reyes.
He planned the whole thing.
The bed and breakfast, the oysters on the beach, and the hike along the cliffs.
We didn't see each other a lot then.
I had been working out of Ireland for a long time.
The work was hard.
Some of us sought external comforts.
Mine was an officer in the British Special Air Service.
I rationalized it by telling myself that I needed it to stay whole.
Ed didn't know what I'd done.
He never found out.
He loved me too much.
Why are you telling me this? Will reminds me so much of that.
He's a tremendous professional.
He's smart.
He's competent, driven, funny and so in love with his wife that he doesn't see her for what she is.
Was that the first time that you'd seen someone die? I don't know what you're talking about.
The people that you've gotten involved with are not who they appear to be.
These kinds of movements prey on idealists like you.
You want to make a difference, but they will use you and cast you aside.
They will destroy your life without conscience.
You're wondering if you have a choice.
You don't.
You work for me now.
ID, please.
Thank you.
Go ahead, ma'am.
Tomorrow morning at 8:30, please.
Yes? Snyder is as expected.
Well, today was obviously a misstep.
I have a new asset.
I think she'll be very valuable.
Hmm, I don't know.
Their perception of time makes that unpredictable.
Hello, my sun and my stars.
How was your day? Okay.
I'll be right back.
We'll read.
Please, kill him too.
