Colony (2016) s03e07 Episode Script

Previously on "Colony" You were using my algorithm incorrectly.
The algorithm is meaningless if you don't apply it as it was designed.
- We have to take her to Seattle.
- No.
If we walk in there, that's it for you and me.
They'll ID us and arrest us.
I don't care.
Can we start with your names? Dalton, James, Laura, and Sean.
All your answers are being monitored, so it's important to answer truthfully.
Sir, I have the Deputy Proxy on line one.
- Tell him I'm unavailable.
- Yes, sir.
Sir, now I've got the Governor-General.
He's insisting on speaking with you.
Well, maybe he should have called before the city literally started burning.
I'll tell him you're unavailable.
When the Chancellor calls, put her through, though.
Yes, sir.
Sir, Chancellor Rohner on line one.
Camille.
To what do I owe this pleasure? How bad is it? You remember the, uh, barricade scenes from "Les Mis"? It's, uh, like that, but with bigger guns.
Are you enjoying this? Of course not.
Do you have a solution? Other than going back in time and using my algorithm the way it was intended? I'm not calling you to rehash the failures of the past.
I'm calling for answers.
And I have them, but first, I need to hear you say that you've learned from your mistakes.
It's possible that some of the current unrest could have been avoided if we had paid more attention to your proposals.
Thank you, Camille.
That's very kind of you.
I'm gonna have my assistant transfer a file to you.
May I ask what it is? It's a protocol a blueprint for building a model Colony here in Seattle.
You have conditions, I assume? Total autonomy.
No Redhats.
In fact, no Transitional Authority or IGA presence at all.
Fine.
And I want a meeting with the Hosts.
Impossible.
Why do you want to talk to them? Ooh, that's above your pay grade.
Or I could just let this city burn.
Wait for other cities to burn.
And someday soon, our Hosts are gonna come to you and your friends at the IGA with questions that you can't answer.
If I agree to give you Seattle, what are you going to do with it? Build something beautiful.
Get you another? I'm on the clock.
A man who knows his limits.
How unusual.
I try not to make a habit of it.
How about I buy you one instead, Miss Crane.
Lillian.
James Dalton.
Well, I am not gonna turn down another drink.
But you should know I'm married.
Happily? Afraid so.
That's a shame.
So what's a happily married woman doing alone in a bar? Just waiting for someone.
You? Looking for a friend.
Hmm.
An old one, or a new one? Old.
He might have gotten himself in some trouble.
I'm trying to find him before it gets worse.
That's nice of you.
He owes me money.
You seem like the type to meet a lot of people.
Maybe you've run into him.
What's his name? Terry Lennox.
He's from Spokane.
Like you.
I'm not trying to scare you.
I just need to find Terry.
I'm sorry, I haven't heard that name in a long time.
When's the last time you seen him? Before, you know, this.
You want that other drink? Another time.
You don't know any other friends of Terry's, do you? Someone who can help me? As far as I know, they're all dead.
- Please leave a message for - Daisy Lennox.
Mrs.
Lennox, this is James Dalton.
I have an update about Terry.
Please give me a call when you get this.
Are you James? I am.
Great.
Heading to Bellevue.
You got it.
Sounds really good.
I'm nervous.
Just talk slowly and remember to take a deep breath before you start.
You'll be good.
- Hi, gang.
- Hi, Dad.
Y'all okay? I'm gonna hit the sack.
Have a good day.
I cleared the Becketts last night.
Yeah, no, I know.
That's all right, I'll double check when I get back to the depot.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm leaving now.
Good morning, guys.
Hey, you want breakfast? I wish.
You're, uh, you're good to let your sister in after school, yeah? Yeah.
Oh, good morning, bear.
Do you have a test today? A presentation.
We were supposed to go over it last night.
Oh, bear, I'm so sorry.
I They We had a There was an emergency at work, and I'm sure that you'll do great.
I gotta go.
I love you.
Both.
We can go over it on the way over there, okay? Go get your stuff.
Let's go.
Don't forget your phone.
All those who have received preliminary notice of transfer, please proceed to the bus loading zone, and wait for your name to be called.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Over here.
All right.
Thank you.
All right, good morning, everybody.
When I call your name, please step forward, and then you're gonna proceed to your designated bus.
- Alveraz, Ricardo.
- Yeah, here.
- Here you are, bus C.
- Thank you.
And Anderson, Samantha and Zara.
Zarah? Zara? Hi! Bus A.
Uh, Beckett, Charles and Hitomi.
That's us.
- Bus A.
- Thank you.
Could you finish that up for me? Thank you.
Bethany, what are you doing here? Uh, I, uh I didn't mean to interrupt.
You're not.
What's wrong? There you are.
Where - Mrs.
Dalton.
- I'm sorry.
It didn't feel right to just leave.
It's okay, honey.
Look, I know it's frustrating.
You've gotta be patient.
We've been patient.
For months.
While watching other people get waived through after a few days.
The system can only accept so many entrants at a time and priority has to go to those who are most vulnerable and with vital skills.
And the rest of us? It's just time we move on.
Okay.
Where will you go? Another bloc.
Word is they're repopulating Los Angeles.
Who told you that? Just a rumor around camp.
They're saying there's no wait list, that you can just walk inside.
It's a long way to Los Angeles.
And it's dangerous.
And so is staying here.
Others are going, too.
Strength in numbers.
When will you leave? Tomorrow, first light.
Hello? James, it's Daisy Lennox.
Uh, I I didn't wake you up, did I? No, I'm up.
Hey, so, uh so they said you said that Hey, hey, settle settle down.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Um, so, uh, you were saying you have an update about Terry? Yeah.
There's no record of your husband ever entering the Colony.
Well, I don't understand that.
He got into the colony four months ago.
I-I watched him walk into the processing tent.
I had a friend run his name.
Came back with nothing.
But Dylan saw him inside.
I checked into it.
There aren't any cameras at the school.
You're saying he wouldn't recognize his own father? Look, I believe you.
And him.
Which is why I've been looking into the list of names you gave me.
So far, I've only been able to trace one of them.
Lillian Crane? She was part of your group after the Arrival? Um, yeah, her and her husband, Jonathan.
They're here now, living over in the Bellevue bloc.
Well, that's just like them, to land on their feet.
How well did you know the Cranes? Not well.
Lillian didn't need anybody who wasn't in her tax bracket.
Not even the end of the world seemed to change that.
And her husband? Oh, he was Terry's boss at Boeing.
Someone Terry might go to for help? Maybe.
I don't understand.
How can it be so hard to find someone? We're locked in a city surrounded by giant walls.
If I had a photo, I could track him in a week.
But it's not that easy.
A lot of people have disappeared in this colony.
There are cases like your husband Engineers, doctors, soldiers being taken.
- Taken - Abducted.
Why? That's what I'm trying to find out.
Did Terry have any other skills? A hobby? Something he could do off the grid to stay afloat? Uh I don't know, uh He likes old cars, fixing them.
Like old Chevys and Fords.
Please, I need to know what happened to him.
If Terry's in this colony, I'll find him.
I promise.
I'll be in touch.
You going out tonight? I don't know.
I may have to cover for my parents again.
That's some kind of bullshit.
Tell me about it.
Ms.
Frazetta? Your allocation.
It's all there.
Thanks.
Have a good one.
I've been meaning to tell you.
I'm quitting this gig.
You got something else lined up? Community patrol, I think.
Really? Yeah, well, it beats being the pizza man.
And I hear you qualify for better housing.
Maybe even a car.
Mr.
Crane? Yeah? I'm James Dalton.
Here about Terry Lennox.
Terry? Nice place.
What do you do? I work for the Seattle Initiative.
Same kind of thing you were doing for Boeing? That's classified.
Why are you here? Terry Lennox came through screening into the colony and then disappeared.
And you think I know where he is? Just taking shots in the dark, looking for anyone who knew him.
Out of the kindness of your heart? I was hired to find him.
Hired? Like a private detective? By who? His wife.
You knew her? Yeah.
Talked a lot.
Mmm, kinda hard to be around.
She's on her own now.
With kids.
That's too bad.
How'd you know Terry? He worked for me.
As an engineer? One of the best.
I heard he liked classic cars.
Not really my thing.
When'd you last see him? After the Arrival.
Group of us were outside the walls just trying to survive.
One night, a bunch of walkers showed up.
Tore right through us.
My wife and I managed to escape.
Honestly, I figured Terry and his family were dead.
And you haven't seen him since? No.
I don't suppose you'd be hiding him in your basement? Sorry.
Would have made my life a lot easier.
Tell me something.
If Terry really made it to Seattle, what do you think happened to him? He was taken by the Occupation.
Occupation? What would the Occupation want with him? I figure that out We'll be a long way to finding him.
If you hear anything, I'd appreciate a call.
Thanks for your time.
Another 120 arrivals.
No rest for the wicked.
How'd this morning's intake go? Fine.
What's wrong? It's one of my families.
They're tier two.
They've been stuck in the camps for four months getting frustrated, and now they wanna leave.
Well, that's their prerogative.
Yeah, but they're so close.
What if something happens to them out there? You can't get personally attached to every family that crosses your desk, Laura.
I know.
They've been through a lot.
They lost their five-year-old on the road.
There's gotta be some way to push them up the list.
Well, a list is a list.
I mean, once you're on it, all you can do is wait.
Unless Maybe you missed something in the first interview.
You know, I think you're right.
I might have been rushing.
I think you should do a supplemental one.
Just in case.
You know, for what it's worth, I hear they're prioritizing skilled laborers in the current intake.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Winslow, thank you for coming back in.
Um, I'm afraid you're wasting your time.
We're leaving in the morning.
That's not why I asked you back.
I need to apologize.
For what? There was an error.
Some parts of your application were left incomplete.
Which parts? Employment history, primarily.
Tell me, Frank, have you ever worked any construction? How'd your presentation go? Okay.
Viola Day kept trying to mess me up by asking dumb questions.
What about Earth Sciences? Ms.
Cabot? Mrs.
Cable.
She's teaching us physics.
Like how for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.
Aren't you a little young to be learning physics? I didn't get into that until high school, I think.
Things are different.
I guess so.
Why don't we go out for dinner tonight? Anywhere you want.
Can we bring Mom and Dad? They have to host that neighborhood thing.
Do you think they're gonna get a divorce? What makes you ask that? I don't know.
Come on.
Let's go.
Is that what I think it is? The Winslows have been reallocated to tier one and have priority entry.
They're already on their way to the depot.
If you hurry, you might catch them.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Krauss, Risa.
That's me.
Hey! I thought I'd missed you.
- They told us to come straight here.
- I still can't believe it.
How did you Well, it might mean you have to spend a few months hauling bricks.
I figured you'd be okay with that.
Yes, ma'am.
Did they tell you what bus you're on? They said D.
Winslow Bethany, Erin, and Frank.
- That's us.
- If you have received preliminary notice Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you.
Green, Jason and Alex.
Green.
- That's us.
- Jason and Alex.
- Yeah, we're here.
- Here! Hello? Can I help you? This your place? It is now.
Used to be a chop shop.
We all get second chances, I guess.
You looking for a car? Actually, I'm here about a mechanic.
A guy named Terry Lennox.
Might have come in looking for work.
Doesn't sound familiar.
Hell of a collection.
People actually still drive these things? Yep.
Hard to believe, you know, the world the way it is.
Don't suppose you had any old Chevys or Fords come through here recently? Maybe mid-'60s? Yeah, actually, we had a real beauty come through a few months ago.
A blue Corvette.
Matching numbers and everything.
Mechanically, she was in great shape.
Just did a refresh job.
New brakes, lines, fluids.
Boy, girl? Black, white? Well, it was a guy.
White.
He was bald.
With glasses? Maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
Jesus.
What the hell are you doing here? Heard about your car.
Came to check it out.
It's beautiful.
Guess that's just one of the perks of being Jonathan Crane.
Isn't it, Terry? Man can change his name, change the way he looks, but he can't change who he really is.
Get off my property.
I wanna know how you can live with yourself.
Walked out on your wife and kids for what? Nice car, fancy house, piece of ass.
Her name is Lillian.
And we were supposed to be together.
We were making plans when it happened.
I thought I'd lost her.
Seattle lets you start over.
While your wife and kids get to live through a nightmare.
I did my job! I got them inside.
Yeah, you're a real hero.
I don't have to explain myself to you.
If I tell the Initiative about this Go ahead.
I'm sure the bosses would love to hear about your messy personal life.
What are you gonna do with that? Get out! No.
I'm the only one who knows your secret.
Can be like this conversation never happened.
All you've gotta do is hit me.
Come on, do it, you piece of shit.
Come on.
Hit me! Hit me! - What are you - He got what he deserved.
There you are.
We're gonna have a house full of people in half an hour.
Give me two minutes.
You know how important these things are.
People notice Hi, please excuse me.
You remember my husband, James? Of course.
It's good to see you again.
You, too.
It's a lovely home.
Thank you.
My wife has nothing but good things to say about you.
I'm getting a little jealous.
- How about a drink? - Yes, yes.
Everybody, good evening.
As you all know, we are here tonight to welcome our new local community patrol captain, Roger Erikson.
Thank you.
Thank you, Laura.
It is an honor to serve all of you and ensure your safety.
By watching out for each other, and supporting the patrol, together we can build the right kind of community for our families.
Well said.
Thank you for hosting this.
It's my pleasure, really.
Michelle tells me that you are one of her Advocates.
I am.
Tough work, but rewarding, I'm sure.
It is.
Very.
People are looking for a sanctuary.
And thanks to the Community Patrol, they can find one in Seattle.
This is my husband, James.
Glad to meet you.
Are you an Advocate, too? No, the city's already too crowded for my taste.
Have you given any thought to joining Community Patrol? I hear they're looking for good men.
Law enforcement isn't really my thing.
Nice uniforms, though.
Well, I should do the rounds.
- Thank you again for hosting.
- Mm-hmm.
Ladies.
Oh, sorry.
I was looking for the bathroom.
It's downstairs.
Laura throws a hell of a party.
She really seems to be enjoying herself.
Good for her.
She deserves it.
Does Laura tell you about the work she does at the refugee camp? No offense, Michelle, but I like to keep my private conversations private.
I I'm gonna get a refill.
You know, James, Laura's my friend.
I just want her to be happy.
So do I.
You know, most people who get a second chance at life, they grab on to it.
You don't have to like this place, but for Laura's sake, I suggest you work a little harder to fit in.
People are always watching.
Like your friend, Captain Roger Erikson? He's a good man.
Thanks for the advice.
I asked for one night.
Just one goddamn night.
You know I didn't want to host that thing.
You didn't.
I planned it, did the shopping, cleaned the house Yeah, Michelle said you threw a hell of a party.
These things aren't optional.
It was our turn to host.
There are expectations that come with living here.
Rules to follow.
And suddenly you're okay with that? If it means we're safe.
It means our kids have a school to go to and a job.
This place may not be perfect, but we could have a life here.
Except for some reason, you seem determined to tear it all down.
This place may have cars and phones and a Community Patrol instead of Redhats, but it's still a Colony.
And we signed up for it.
Doesn't mean I have to like it.
Who cares if you like it? This is as good as it's gonna get.
That's not the Katie Bowman I knew in L.
A.
I left that behind.
You gotta stop punishing yourself, Will.
Give this place a chance.
Do I even wanna know what you've been doing with your nights? No.
I'm listening.
- Where are you going? - Out.
We aren't finished.
Yeah, we are.
Damn it.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for your help with your sister.
I know we've been leaning really hard on you lately.
It's fine.
You going somewhere? I have to run some overnight deliveries, but I'll be back in time to bring Gracie to school.
Proud of you, you know that? Don't work too hard.
Hey, man.
- Yo, you bring it? - Yeah.
Let's get this party going! You don't always have to be the one to bring the booze, you know.
I do if I wanna keep getting invited.
I never bring anything.
That's 'cause the rules for girls are different.
Especially pretty ones.
You okay? Yeah.
How's home? The same.
Sorry.
My parents were asking about you.
I guess I made a good impression.
Don't get cocky.
My dad ran off my last three boyfriends.
You've had other boyfriends? Come on.
Good morning Mr.
, uh, Dalton.
Everything okay? Everything's fine, officer.
I was working the night shift.
Got a little drowsy.
Your phone log states you've been in this spot since a little after 1:00 a.
m.
Must have slept longer than I thought.
Should be heading home.
Yes, you should.
Hey, Michelle, do you have a minute? Oh, yeah.
What's up? Thank you for your help with the Winslows.
Oh, it's no problem.
I know I should let it go, but I kinda need to know how they're doing.
Oh, you know, that's not the job.
You're gonna have to keep some separation, Laura, or you're gonna burn out.
I don't wanna lose another good advocate.
I get it.
I just felt connected to them.
And I wanna know that they landed safely.
- Of course they did.
- Where? In one of the public housing blocs.
Do you know which one? I know it sounds stupid.
I just need it to feel tangible.
See? Seattle address.
They're fine, Laura.
Thank you.
This is impressive.
Excellent metrics from all three of your placements.
You have any idea of what you wanna do next? I heard that some jobs come with special benefits.
Some, yes, though it's mainly highly skilled positions in select areas.
There are, however, allowances for jobs that are beneficial to the community.
Are you interested in one of those? Sure.
This is a safe space, Mr.
Dalton.
It'll be easier for me to do my job if you tell me what you want.
I have a younger sister.
And we're living with my parents right now, but I want my own place.
In case something happens and I have to look out for her.
Of course.
Let me see what I can do to help you.
Sorry, the boys were up half the night.
Can I get you a cup of coffee? No, no, I'm okay.
What is it? You found something.
Please, just tell me.
I'm sorry, but your husband is dead.
What? Heart attack just after he was admitted to the colony.
You Are you sure? I'm sure.
A heart attack? But he was so he was so young.
Happens a lot these days.
The stress.
Okay, well, what about the things that you were telling me the conspiracy, the people being abducted.
I was wrong.
Whoever your boy saw that day, it wasn't Terry.
At least I know what to tell the boys.
I'll, uh I'll get your payment.
Keep it.
You have to build a new life now.
You're gonna need it.
Off duty.
Get out of the damn car.
Is that any way to greet an old friend? You're a hard man to find, Mr.
Dalton.
What the hell are you doing here? Seattle's an interesting city.
Wanted to know what you make of the place.
