Colony (2016–2018): Season 1, Episode 6 - Yoknapatawpha - full transcript

Previously on "Colony"...

Get on your knees!
Do it now!

As it turns out, Geronimo
was more of a figurehead

than an actual terrorist.

That's unfortunate, Alan.

Trust me, I'm gonna turn this
into a win for us.

I need a patsy... someone to take
the fall in public.

You play Geronimo,
I'll spare your life

and get you relocated
to another colony.

We made a deal!
We made a deal!

Phyllis is dead.



Someone shot her and her husband
up in the Green Zone.

Did you say anything
about Phyllis to anybody?

No, of course not.

Will, ride with me.

There's someone
I want you to meet.

Come on, get in the car.

All set?
We're on the clock.

- Redbird One, good to go.
- Roger that.

Rolling out.

Today Los Angeles
knows peace once again.

The tribunal has ruled.

The sentence
has been handed down.

And now, finally,

after Geronimo's long reign
of terror,



justice is to be carried out.

Yes?

Of course I've been watching.

His decision.

But as it is his bloc,
we thought it was important

to give him some latitude.

At least the counterinsurgency
he put together

has been effective,

especially considering the loss
of the task force head.

Yes, I know.
I spoke with New York.

They're put out,

but they're looking
for another solution.

Well, they selected him
for a reason, so...

I think we just let it play out.

He either gets things
under control,

or he gives us the justification
that we need to make a change.

No, I know.
We need to be ready.

No, I won't let it come to that.

What's the problem?

What was the gain in doing that?

The people demanded justice

for what Geronimo did,
and we granted it.

That guy wasn't even Geronimo.

It's called catharsis.

The public gets appeased,
and we remind them

that law and order
will endure in this bloc.

'Cause you strung up
a radio announcer.

Outside of our inner circle,
no one know the particulars

of his involvement
with the Resistance.

Except his family.

The fact is that Luis supported

a violent terrorist movement,

which is no better
than being a terrorist himself.

Trust me when I tell you
that what I did

gave him the most merciful end
he was gonna get.

What you did is just gonna
piss people off.

Let them be angry.

They're alive, and they're
still relatively free.

You think I martyred him,

but I believe
self-interest rules the day.

And when people see
the consequences

of participating
in the Resistance,

they're gonna think twice before
getting involved themselves.

I hope you're right.

In the meantime, what I have
done has bought you the time

to find the real terrorists...

something
I would greatly appreciate.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Take the auxiliary route.

You got it.

Got it.

- Mike!
- Whoa!

Oh, my God, it's an ambush!

- Get us out of here.
- Go!

Start driving,
or we're all dead!

No, he's out!

- We need to get out of here.
- Stay in the car.

- Move 'em out!
- Move, move!

Eyes up!

- Wait. That guy's Homeland.
- They're not with us.

What the hell are they doing?

Blinding us.

- 60 seconds!
- Move!

What's that?

Get in the front.

- What? Why?
- Get in the front!

Switch with Snyder!
Get in the back!

Go, go!

Hook in!
Back up! Back up!

Maintain fire control, damn it!

Keep your head down!

Move!

90 seconds.
That's 90 seconds.

Drones are gonna be coming!

Pull out!

98 seconds!

- Pull out!
- Get to the car!

Drones coming in!

We're too exposed.
We need to get out of the open.

Yeah, no shit.

We shouldn't have
ditched the car.

We shouldn't be on foot!

Were you in the military,
law enforcement?

- No.
- Right.

Still, I don't think
this is a good idea.

Listen to me. Those people
were coming after you.

And if they find you,
they're gonna torture you,

and then they're gonna kill you.

You want to stay alive?

Then today I don't work for you.
You work for me, got it?

Okay.

Thank you...

for saving me.
Thank you.

- Just keep moving.
- Okay.

Where are we going?

Someplace safe.

Shit.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Who is it?

Katie?

Katie, open the door!

What... happened?

We got ambushed.

- Is the rest of the bar locked?
- Yeah.

Ambushed?

It was an abduction attempt,
I think.

It's a coup.
I knew this was going to happen.

It's a viper's nest up there.
You haven no idea.

We don't know it's a coup.

Then how do you explain all my

former Red-hatted friends
trying to kill me?

Could be Resistance.

You think the Resistance
got inside Homeland Security?

I think that food-truck raid
was a dress rehearsal for this.

I didn't want to bring him here.
It's the only place close by.

- I had to get him off the street.
- Did anyone follow you?

I hope not.

Can you call the drones
or something?

Even kings have limits
to their power, Will.

We're gonna have to hole up
here till help arrives.

No. No more Redhats.
We can't trust them.

I've got to call the Task Force.

We can't trust them either.
Nothing goes over the air.

Well, we can't hide
in here forever.

I promise you, as we speak,
everyone loyal to me

is hitting the streets.

We just have to wait it out.

Well, I hope your
cavalry moves fast,

'cause whoever organized
this operation

put a lot of time
and resources into it.

And they're gonna be
looking door-to-door

for the prize they missed.

Could be only a matter of time

before the bread crumbs
lead them here.

Mm-hmm.

- I'm gonna call Beau.
- "Magnum P.I."?

- Beau's good.
- No, Lagarza. I want Lagarza.

Will, we need to call someone,

and there's a phone
in my office.

Stay away from the windows.

Are you crazy?

You're risking your life
for that man?

Should I have left him there
in the street to die?

The last thing I wanted to do
is get you caught up in this.

What are you doing here
so early?

I came in to do inventory.

That's dead.

The Authority never switched it
back on.

- Did you talk to Lagarza?
- Phone's dead.

No, landlines
are all supposed to work.

- Well, they don't.
- Where are you going?

- To find a pay phone.
- Will...

Jesus.
Will, you're bleeding.

I got tagged
by a bullet fragment.

- You need a doctor.
- It can wait.

No, no, no, let me go for help.

- I can go out the back.
- You can't leave.

I can't?

Look, we don't know
what's out there.

I'm not gonna bleed to death.

When I get back, I'll teach you
how to be field medic.

I'm fine.
It's blood, not guts.

But you just said yourself

that we don't know
what's out there.

I've got to call in the cavalry.

Okay, there's a pay phone

three blocks, four blocks
east of here.

- Here.
- You... you can't just leave me.

You want to go home?

I'll be right back.

We should probably wait
in my office

in case somebody comes
looking for you.

I know you don't like me.

But this isn't my fault.

We're all misunderstood.

- Thanks.
- Heller?

It was a bad day.

Yeah.

- You okay?
- Got through clean.

You know, it's okay
to feel something.

Hey.
What the hell happened?

Will was with him in the car.

Pulled some cowboy shit
and got Snyder out

before the drones arrived.

Will managed all that alone?

He just needed to buy himself
98 seconds.

I searched the area on foot,

but he got away
in the target vehicle.

I'm sure they ditched it.
They could be anywhere by now.

We had him.

We need to reconsider
our options.

We cannot walk away from this.

Broussard.

Not now!

It's important, sir.

What is it, Vasquez?

It's Katie.
She's asking for you.

Hey.
You all right?

I know where Snyder is.

Where?

This doesn't change
our agreement.

Will is off-limits.

I need to hear you say it.

Will is off-limits.

I have Snyder alone at the Yonk.

Will just went to call for help.
There is no time. Come quickly.

You grew up in the South?

I grew up all over.

I spent a lot of time there, though.

Navy brat.

Must have made
your father happy...

your marrying into the military.

You should ask
my Navy captain father

how he felt about me marrying
an enlisted Army grunt.

Where does your family live now?

New Orleans...

If it's still around.

I honestly have no idea.

Okay.

And how did you get involved
in all this?

I mean, putting aside
the conspiracy theories

that this was planned
for decades

and our government was
somehow complicit...

Somebody must have
approached you, right?

Or recruited you
before handing you a crown.

I was the provost at Stanford...

greatest university
in the world.

They needed someone that could
get their arms

around a new form of government,

bring about order
and control quickly, peacefully.

They came to you
before the Arrival?

After.

Well, what about all
the other public officials

who actually had experience
with that kind of thing.

- Are they all dead?
- I don't know.

But my PhD in economics

and my experience in running
a $5.1 billion operating budget

meant that I was nicely suited
for their administrative needs.

So you're from up north?

No, I'm from Long Island...
go, Jets...

but I lived in Palo Alto.

So how did you get to LA?

They relocated me.

So we're not the only colony.

- There are others.
- How many?

The Pacific Coast region...

California, Oregon,
and Washington...

has seven colonies.

But beyond that, I meant it
when I said I have no idea.

What about all the land
between the colonies?

What's out there?

That's somewhere
you do not want to be.

Why?
What's the...

Hey.

- You got back fast.
- I cut through the alleyway.

I remembered there was
a pay phone on Fairbanks.

- Did you get a hold of Lagarza?
- He's 25 minutes out.

Well, make that 21 now.

20? He knows he doesn't have to
stop at the lights, right?

Will, 20 minutes...
we can't stay here.

What if they're out
searching door-to-door?

We'll be fine.

You ready to patch me up?

Yes.

That's not the good stuff, is it?

It's only the best for you, baby.

Okay, clean off
most of the blood.

Okay.

Now get a clean towel.

Cut a strip
about six inches wide.

Do you think this attack
was retribution

from Geronimo's followers?

I doubt it.

Why?

Geronimo's not the folk hero
everyone thinks he is.

How so?

Okay, wrap that tight.

Tight.

That's good.

I think you just earned
a merit badge.

Will, this is our chance.

We should give Snyder up
to whoever's looking for him.

And then what?

Snyder is an asshole who
deserves what's coming to him.

All we have to do
is step out of the way.

And then another bureaucrat
with a new agenda replaces him.

Snyder is the devil we know.

How's the arm?

I'll live.

I know that this isn't
an ideal situation...

for a lot of reasons.

But I'm a good friend to have.

Yeah, I know.

I was gonna tell you this
at our meeting today.

I'm very happy to relay
that my contacts in Santa Monica

have just confirmed
your son, Charlie, is alive.

How do you know that?

Because I keep my promises.

If you are lying about this...

Are they bringing him back?

I know you don't understand
or necessarily care

about inter-colony politics,
but it's very complicated.

There's a ton of red tape
and bureaucracy.

All right, look...

I don't have the power
to navigate this on my own.

- Of course you don't.
- But I'm working on it.

Understand that I am really

exposing myself here
for you guys.

This is not something I would do
for anyone else.

- What are you doing?
- Negotiating...

with the Chief of Staff
to the Governor General

of the entire
Los Angeles colony.

I was going to introduce you
to her before we got...

waylaid.

- What's her name?
- Helena Goldwyn.

She has the power to make this
whole Charlie thing happen.

How do we know
you're not just saying this

to get what you want?

Come on, Katie, give me
a little credit.

This is family.

Mm-hmm.

I wouldn't lie
about something like that.

I promise you, I'm on your side,
and I want to see this happen

just as much...

All right, okay,
that's probably impossible,

but I really want to help you
get him back.

I just need to make it
out of this little predicament

if I'm going to keep
that ball rolling.

In the bathroom.

I'm sorry, Officer.

We've had some attempts
on our liquor supply.

I'm just being careful.

Ma'am, if you have
any safety issues,

you need to report them to
Homeland Security immediately.

We'll handle them.

Of course.
What can I do for you?

I need you to let me inside.

Do you mind telling me why?

We're looking
for a missing person.

- Who?
- Can't say.

Please, ma'am.

I don't want to have
to force my way in.

It's just me here.
I'm...

just prepping for tonight.

Still need to clear
the building.

Well, obviously,
this is the main room.

Need to see them all, ma'am.

Of course.

Uh, my office, down here...

the patio, the bathrooms,
and the kitchen.

That's about it.

I'm sorry I couldn't be
more helpful.

What's this?

That's just the basement...
storage.

Need to look there too, ma'am.

Okay.

Lead the way.

- Snyder's in the men's room.
- I know.

Will called Special Ops.

The Red Berets are
on their way for Snyder.

We need to get
to him first, then.

Will's right upstairs.

Quayle sees Snyder
as the priority.

If you can't get him out,
Quayle's gonna come in.

You gave me your word.

All Quayle wants is Snyder.

Get him out the back door,
and this all ends.

Sorry for the disturbance, ma'am.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Don't mention it.

Best to lock the doors
after I leave.

If you have any more trouble,
pick up the phone and dial 0

to reach Homeland Security, ma'am.

Will do.
Thank you.

Take care, ma'am.

You did great.

I don't know.

Proxy Snyder is missing,
and that guy's out searching alone?

Redhats don't do anything alone.

What do you think?

I think that guy was Resistance.

Do you think we fooled him?

If he saw that,
then they're coming back.

Can you help me with this one?

Yeah.

Okay, uh, now what?

You make some homemade bombs
or some booby traps

or something, right?

Nope.

Th... this is it?
This is the plan?

We got about seven minutes
till Lagarza's ETA.

If they come in, we just got
to slow them down.

Slow them down?
How?

I'm gonna hole up here...

shoot whoever comes
through those doors.

I'm having a drink.
Anyone else?

You still believe
anything that man says?

I have to believe him...

because I don't know
what else there is.

Even if it risks your life?
Our lives?

Everything we have
is tied to him.

I'd like to remind everyone
who might be paying attention

that I rescued your husband
and all the rest of you

from a life of misery
and imprisonment.

If you want me to continue
to be helpful

in retrieving your son...

You son of a bitch!

- Hey! Hey, hey!
- I'm so sick...

of your threats to my family!

Hey, get her off me!

Hey... aah!

Jesus!

- Hold it.
- What the hell are you doing?

Let's see how long
he survives without us!

I realize that we are all
in an unusually stressful situation...

that does not bring
out the best in us,

so I'm willing to forget this.

That's because
I'm a reasonable man.

And if you think otherwise,
then you really don't want to

meet the people who spend their
days plotting to take my seat.

I'm sorry to be the bearer
of unpleasant truths, Katie...

but I'm the best there is.

And I really am trying
to help you.

Situation report.

We're close. She has him.

What are you waiting for?

Well, we made a deal with her.

And you confirmed it.

Will put himself in the line
of fire the day he put on red.

He's a soldier.
He accepted that.

Katie hasn't.

Do I need to remind you
of the chain of command?

Bring Snyder out.

No Homeland patrols.
Drones, either.

You sure they care
you're missing?

They're coming for me, Will.

Homeland Security is just...
trained to be discreet.

Well... there's one.

One what?

Redhat.

Good Redhat or bad Redhat?

I don't know.

This should be impossible.

All of them were screened
for this.

What do you mean, screened?

Every person in the colony was
filtered through this algorithm.

It's how they knew who to select

and what to do with them.

They used the data
from the Rolodex?

Our hosts know everything
about us.

Well, knew everything.

They had our entire data record
when they arrived.

We gave them the keys
to the kingdom.

That how they found you?

When they approached me,

they told me I was
the perfect candidate.

You've met them?

What are they like?

It's a humbling moment,

realizing... just how
insignificant we all are

in the universe.

They're upstairs?

They're setting spotters.

Or maybe snipers to shoot us
if we run out.

Katie, they're coming!

You, office.

You, basement.

I'm not leaving you
up here alone.

This is what I do, Katie.

Let me help you.

Not here, not this.
You need to go downstairs.

For the kids.

You're going home tonight.

- Will...
- Go. Now.

Uhh!

Aah... uhh!

Ugh.

Drop the weapon.

Not another step.

Drop your gun.

Katie.

25 feet, high stress...

Doubt you'll make
that shot clean.

I know I will.

Katie, put the gun down.

It's okay.

Where's Snyder?

Office.

Move.

No, Will... Will!

- Go! Move, move!
- Go, go, go!

- Freeze!
- Drop the weapon!

Easy, easy.
Homeland Security.

Have you seen a Redhat?

A guy, he... he's dressed like you.

- He came through here.
- No, sir.

Move it!
Let's go!

Come on, men, on me, on me!

- Damn it!
- Cover that.

Cover that!

He's gone.

Where is he?

He escaped.

Behind the bar.

Back all clear.

Sir.

Whoever that guy was,

I want him found...

and I want him to die.

Badly.

Everything we have, Will.

Throw it at him.

I know it's really bad
right now.

But you have to
keep telling yourself

that you did what you had to do.

That he put you
in that position.

Do you think
Geronimo's followers

will come after us for today?

I know they won't.

How?

Because Geronimo's
not a terrorist.

He's some ad-guy
up in the Green Zone.

Snyder's trial was a farce.

The only thing Geronimo ever led

was a really smart
street-art campaign.

Some people down here rallied
around the message,

used it for violence.

But the folk hero
in the headdress...

he doesn't exist.

The people who pulled this thing
off today...

now, they're something else.

Homeland's across the street.

They'll be watching everything
that goes on here now.

I'm fine, Will. Go.

Hey.

You're my hero.

I love you.

I love you.

So where are we?

In the wind.
Garage is closed.

I sent everyone left
into hiding.

Well... at least we know.

Know?

The armory, Kim's house, today.

It all tracks now.

Katie fed us bullshit.

And then she helped her husband
take us apart.

Look at me and tell me
you don't see it.

She's a double agent.
