Colony

Previously on "Colony"...

I did some research,

and there's all kinds of specialized equipment

at USC and up on Mount Wilson.

- But it doesn't matter because we're locked in here.

What if we aren't?

- They found a tunnel under an old DWP substation

that leads right into downtown.

We can exploit this,

set a trap for whoever's using the tunnel.

- I know what you're going through.

I have a daughter.

She matters more to me than anything.

This is a special book.

It has all kinds of secrets in it.

Your son Charlie is alive.

- Those assholes were close enough to take a picture

of my son, and we still don't have him home.

- How long you been spying on me, lying to me,

selling me out to those killers you work for?

I did it to protect you.

- Bullshit! You did it for you.

You could fight with us.

We could fight together

so that our kids don't grow up in this.

Train is inbound.

Eric?

Do you have any food?

Please, I'm hungry.

I don't have anything.

I said I don't have anything!

- Run! Go!

- Stop! Don't move! - Get out of here!

- Go left! Go left! - Move it now!

- Down here! - Move! Come on!

- Hey! This way.

- Let's go! Over here!

- Up ahead! - Which way did they go?

- I don't see 'em. I've got no visual.

They're gone, sir.

Hey, Charlie.

Check this out.

Cool.

Let's take this stuff to Solomon,

trade for some breakfast.

What?

Long night?

- Yeah. What's going on?

- The Resistance kidnapped a VIP.

It's all hands on deck.

I stopped by Beau's place on the way over here.

He was gone.

I don't know why I'm on the outside,

but it's not cool because when you screw up,

it's gonna blow back on me.

- You were on the outside so it won't blow back on you.

Good morning.

My name is Helena Goldwyn.

I am the chief of staff for the Governor-General.

Early this morning a VIP coming into the bloc

was attacked and abducted.

Who?

It was one of our Hosts.

Where's Snyder?

- I will personally be running this recovery operation.

Everything now comes through me.

You should know that this is not a good situation.

During the Arrival,

two of our Hosts were killed in Dallas.

That city is now a flat sheet of glass.

We have a brief window before they take action.

Understood?

Then go out there and find it and whoever took it.

- Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?

- We're lucky you didn't bring down the whole bloody tunnel.

What happened?

- I-I think I missed an exponent when I did the calc.

- You think? - It worked.

- It worked? You killed it. - You sure it's dead?

- Do I look like an alien doctor?

It sure as shit ain't moving.

We need to dump it.

You're not serious.

Our target was a live human,

one we could interrogate, not a dead RAP.

- Do you not understand the value of this thing?

We know literally nothing about it.

What can we learn from it?

- Tons of stuff like how it breathes, how it communicates.

- Whether it's a carbon-based form of life.

- Yeah. How it interfaces with its environment.

Maybe it has a weapon too.

- Every Redhat in the bloc is about to come gunning for us.

Are we ready to risk our lives for that?

Yes.

- We need to get out of the tunnels.

Back to the loft.

- We'll wrap it up and carry it out.

File formation, bounding overwatch.

Never be more than 20 yards away from cover.

It might have a locator.

- You're just telling us this now?

- If they can track it, why aren't we surrounded by Redhats?

- We're underground. - B.B., you got the RF meter?

Yeah.

Shit.

We can block the signal.

- How? How do you do that?

- A Faraday cage, right? We just need to cover it, right?

Anything metallic.

- What about this? - Perfect.

- Wait, wait, wait. Let's check it right here.

Let's just check it.

Put it down. Okay, okay.

Nothing.

If you're wrong, we're dead.

Are you sure?

Sure enough.

Let's go.

.

I like soap.

That's not a cereal.

Maddie.

I know, but you can't get any.

- I like the other cereal better.

What's the matter?

- The Resistance kidnapped a VIP.

All hell's about to break loose.

We got to get the kids somewhere safe.

- I can get them into the Green Zone.

I've been working for the number two in the political wing.

He'll help me.

I'll take care of it.

- Good. Okay, that's good.

Go pack some things and go now.

What about Katie?

- You deal with the kids. I'll deal with her.

Okay, go. - All right.

- Hey, no school today. - Why?

- You're going up to Green Zone with Aunt Maddie.

- Why? - The bloc's going on lockdown.

Do you know where Mom is?

No.

What did she tell you?

You know what she's been doing, don't you?

I have an idea.

- Where is she? - I don't know where she is!

I'm serious!

- I know you think we're on different sides here,

but we're not.

The difference is I know what I'm doing,

and your mom has no idea how bad of a situation

she's gotten herself into.

She's in real danger, son.

I can help her, but I need to get to her right now.

She gave me a number.

Let me come with you.

I can help.

- You can help me by getting to the Green Zone

with Maddie, Gracie, and Hudson.

- Shh! Go!

- Five blocks in an hour, and more Redhats every minute.

- There's a curfew in the middle of the day?

- They're putting the city on lockdown.

[curfew alarm echoes in distance]

- Hey! Get out of here! - Move!

- Go back to your places, please!

I told you to step back!

- If you all have a pass, just hand it to me.

I don't know! Please calm down!
