Colony (2016–2018): Season 1, Episode 9 - Zero Day - full transcript

Previously on "Colony"...

We have intel that a VIP
is coming into the block

from some big meeting...

someone way bigger than Snyder.

The guy that had a gun
on you in the Yonk?

There's a decent chance

that you've at least
seen his face.

You've been looking
for a leak in your department.

Who is this?

Someone who knows the source
is your wife.

Redhats.
Redhats!



It's blown.

Go, go, Rachel, go!

Let's go, guys!

Opportunity will come again,

and when it does,
I want you there with me.

This is why we fight.

Let's go.

Clear this street
and return to your homes.

You have 60 seconds to disperse.

- Return to your homes!
- I said move!

Everyone back up and go home!

This is an unauthorized
gathering.

Get off the street.

Don't point
that thing at me, man.



Look, back up.

Traitor!

Ugh!

Jae!
Hey, Jae, hey!

Get back!
Back up!

Shut up!

Pa!
Papa!

Jae!

Papa, Papa!

- Papa!
- Jae!

- Papa!
- Jae!

Damn.

I heard there was
an even bigger riot in K-town.

I was at work when they came...

the other side of the city.

Katie was at the bar.

Back it up, back it up.

Fought my way across town,
but it took me hours.

Radio chatter was flying

about guys in the Bureau
being taken out... disappearing.

So I knew I couldn't
go back to my house

'cause someone from the invasion
might be waiting for me there.

The mob stayed quiet
longer than I thought,

but the wheels are spinning now.

This whole damn place
is going to hell.

We were waiting
for opportunity to knock.

Well, here it is.

You think this is enough
to sell Snyder on our story?

I think after this,

he'll eat it
right out of our hands.

I specifically tripled

last night's
Homeland Security detail

to avoid this.

What the hell happened?

There were a lot of people
on the street

before curfew last night,

mostly in peaceful recognition
of the anniversary.

There was some looting,

a few protests
that turned violent,

but most of the violence
appears to have been

spontaneous and random.
- Most, but not all.

There were
four or five incidents

that may have been coordinated.

Proxy, can we talk to you
in private?

Why all the secrecy?

We think a new cell
might have set up operations

outside the colony.

That's not possible.

We have a reliable C.I.
that says it is.

His cousin signed up
with someone

offering cash and weapons
to anyone willing

to fight the Occupation
in the L.A. bloc.

He said he went to meet a guy

at the old Commerce
building downtown.

Downtown?

How would they get in and out?

Maybe someone found a way
under the wall

that the RAPs never sealed.

What's important here

is it looks like
someone's invested in

making you look bad.

The scarier attacks
from last night

were all well-orchestrated,

but then everyone vanished
without a trace.

It's like when the Taliban
was hiding out in Pakistan.

Nobody had the balls
to cross the border

and go after them.

Everyone looked the other way,
so they had safe haven.

Let's say for a moment

that I was interested
in exploring this.

Let us take a run
through the wall into downtown,

check it out.

All right.
Do it.

Lagarza's unit
will come with you.

I can't send my two star
investigators out there alone.

The natives are restless.

So am I.

I've been leaving you
messages for a week.

Why haven't you answered me?

My mother died
the night of the Arrival.

She'd had a bad heart for years.

Shock did her in.

I was angry, too,

but if I'd acted
on pure emotion,

I'd be dead now.

Are you accusing me
of being too emotional?

They hanged our friend
and her sons from a bridge.

I was giving you the space
to deal with your anger

so you could process it

and then... get past it.

I don't want to get past it.

You've chosen
to bury your emotions...

that's fine.

I don't have to be like you
to do this job.

Everything okay, Maddie?

Uh...

this painting
my husband and I bought...

before all this.

It was confiscated
after the Arrival.

I hated Nagle...

But Rob loved him.

We were at an auction, and...

he just started bidding.

He hung it in the living room,

and I had to see that thing
every day.

And you came around to like it.

Yeah.
Oh, sorry.

Maddie.

I need your help in here.

The gallery showing
went late last night,

and I didn't have
the kitchen staff

to cover it.

You want me
to clean your kitchen?

Is that a problem?

I'll just call down to staffing

and have them send
someone else up.

No, no, it's fine.
I'm happy to take care of it.

Hold it right there.

Give me your ID.

To think, after all this time,

all we had to do was ask.

Priority clearance.

Don't jinx this.

There's still
a lot of road ahead.

Let 'em through.

Let's go.

- Alan, what's going on?
- How you doing, Nolan?

I'm good.

Did you know the Chief Minister

is coming to L.A. for some
state of the union thing?

- Yeah, I heard about that.
- Thursday.

- Uh-huh.
- They didn't invite you?

No.

It's above my pay-grade,
I think.

Huh.
There's some proposal

that's gone to Helena's office

to take over the bloc
with a "new direction"?

You've heard nothing
about this proposal.

No one approached you?

Mm-mm, no.
Nobody, nothing.

I find that hard to believe.

No one in the Green Zone
makes a bowel movement

without you knowing.

Alan, I-I promise, this is
the first I heard of this.

Don't forget who gave you
that cozy office of yours.

I want a copy of that proposal.

I'll start digging, but Alan...

truly, as far as I know,

everybody up here
is fully behind you.

With daggers in hand.

What happened to the knock?

We've got a protocol
for a reason.

It's just us.
Open the door.

Hello.

This is Morgan and B.B.
You know Eckhart.

This is Katie.

This is your partner?

What's your, uh,
combat experience?

17 years of motherhood

and 10 years
of running my own business.

Is that a serious answer?

She's my partner.
That's all you need to know.

Just being cautious.

Look, I'm the most
cautious man you've ever met,

and I trust Katie with my life.

So can you.

So here's the rundown.

Our friends here got intel
on a V.I.P.

coming into the bloc
from outside the colony,

someone major
in regional leadership.

They use the metro line
to bring certain V.I.P.s

in and out of the colony.

I thought all the metros
were shut down.

The target's supposed to come
into the colony in two days.

We know which MTA line
he'll be on,

but we don't know
which station he's headed to.

Why don't you three scout
Wilshire and Vermont?

We'll check out
MacArthur Park Station.

Good job.

Look, I don't want
to draw this out,

so I'm just gonna say it.

You invited me into your home,

and you trusted me.

I obviously violated that trust.

You did.

I'm sure I can contribute more

if I was just
put in a position to.

Did you know the Mandels?

No.

Not many people
in the L.A. art community did.

They lived very simply,

and they didn't run
in our social circles.

But they loved their art.

They sunk every dollar
they earned into it,

and they had great taste.

Their collection isn't in
any of your catalogues.

Very few people know
it even exists...

but I do

because I helped them
track a lot of it down.

Move to your assigned
positions... move, move!

Secure the east entrance!

Fall in.

Maybe we'd better start
clearing floors.

We'll take the even numbers.

Wow.

Yeah.

So that's where they all went.

Well, I'll be damned.

Oh, man.

We're gonna need mules
if we want to get to Big Bear.

You want to be the good guy
or the bad guy?

Bad guys.

Okay, make sure you miss.

Go!

Taking fire on the top floor.
We need backup now!

- What happened?
- They took the back stairwell.

- How many?
- Two shooters.

Lost them.

Tac 5 and 6,
two shooters went down

the southeast stairwell.
Give pursuit.

Roger that, sir.
We're headed to street level.

They were working on something.

Let's have a look around.

Check this out.

Bingo.

- You got something?
- Yeah, shot at.

At least two of the insurgents

were operating out of
the top floor of the building.

- Where are they?
- They got clear.

We found this.

These were the locations

of four of the largest
"Zero Day" attacks.

This means
they were coordinated,

and our C.I.'s intel
was good.

And he was right
about something else too.

I sent Homeland's engineer corps
out to look for

any weak spots in the Wall.

They found a tunnel
under an old DWP substation

that leads right into downtown.

That must be how they were
getting in and out undetected.

We're gonna shut it down.

No, don't do that.
We can exploit this.

Set a trap
for whoever's using the tunnel.

Redhats everywhere.

- This is great.
- Great?

Is that
your G.I. Joe gallows humor,

like, "Ha ha,
we're all gonna die"?

It means your intel is good.

If the Redhats
are guarding the station,

it means
they're using it for something.

What's better is
we figured out the time

their shift changes.

So we can hit them while
they're changing personnel.

Okay.

How did you guys get this intel?

- That's proprietary.
- No.

This is either a partnership
or it isn't.

And if it is,
then it's full disclosure

in both directions,
and if it's not,

then this isn't for us.

Okay, what's that?

It was going to be the subject

of a billion-dollar
market valuation.

It's a micro-U.A.V.

Avionics,

hardware, software.

That's one of two
working prototypes.

Another just like it
flew into Homeland Security HQ

a few months ago.

It landed in the office
of a high-ranking collaborator.

Here, I, uh,
I edited the files down.

Confirmation on "Hyperion's"
arrival from the Authority.

...The purple line
from downtown in two...

...He's arriving during curfew...

Battery died a couple of weeks ago,

but they picked up
a bunch of other intel

that back this up.

Who's "Hyperion"?

Apparently,
he's a big F-ing deal.

All right, the plan, therefore,

would be to hit the metro
and abduct him

at the MacArthur Park station.

Judging by security presence,
it looks like

Wilshire and Vermont
is the final destination.

But we want to hit the train
further upstream,

here in the tunnel before it
enters MacArthur Park station.

We come in
through this egress hatch,

plant the charge
and wait around the corner.

After the charge goes,
they'll be scrambling.

We can grab the V.I.P.

and bring him out
through the tunnels.

And then bring him back here
for safekeeping.

Sorry, we're blowing up a train?

No, we're just gonna
nudge it off the tracks.

Newton's first law
does the rest.

Back there.

Just straight through.
Thanks.

That one goes into the office.

Mm-hmm.

You don't find a Gauguin
in a two-bedroom apartment

every day, do you?

This was an unbelievable
source, Maddie.

Thank you for bringing it to me.

Put that one down there.

I'll make sure the Gauguin
doesn't get logged in.

I appreciate that.

Yeah. Yeah, right there.

With all the new work ahead,

I'm going to be needing
an assistant curator.

Bring a weapon to your eye,

not your eye to the weapon.

Good.
It's headshot or bust.

Their body armor
will absorb anything else.

If you get in close,
remember the soft targets...

under the arm,
neck and throat, and the thigh.

Okay.

Seems simple enough.

It's not.

This isn't about
being able to make

a split-second decision
to defend your husband's life.

It's about being able to
walk up to a complete stranger

and kill him.

That's why you have to put
your emotions aside.

I don't want another lecture
on compartmentalization

right now.

A long time ago,

I made decisions that meant

I was gonna go
through life alone...

but I didn't have anybody
standing at the threshold

to warn me.

You do,

and I'm telling you...

the road you're heading down
is going to change you.

There's no coming back from it.

I know.

That guy's money's no good here.

Thank you.

When did you get here?

Remember back when we lived
in that stucco box at Fort Hood?

How we talked about getting
a ranch up in the mountains,

leaving the grid,
living out in nature?

Hunting, fishing.

I think I remember
you promising me my own horse.

You ever think
about that anymore?

- The mountains?
- Hm.

Yeah, I think
everybody in this city

fantasizes about escaping now.

Would you really do it?

If it meant
we could be together again?

All the kids, you and me?

What's going on, Will?

I just really want to know
if you'd leave

all of this behind
if it meant we could get back

to the way things were.

Of course I would.
I'd do anything for that.

If what Snyder said is true,
this is a better exit plan

than going back
through the Wall with Lagarza.

Why didn't the RAPs
find this tunnel?

Because they ain't perfect.

Jesus.

We're under the damn Wall.

You ever take a moment
and thank God that you know me?

Given how many times
you've tried to send me

to meet him, no.

I haven't gotten around to it.

Watch your step, sir.

Alan?
What's this all about?

- Hey, Nolan, how you doing?
- Uh, all right.

- Gallery's in here, right?
- Yeah.

Yes, sir.

I truly admire the work
your wife is doing, by the way.

The collection
is really growing.

Hit the private office first.

I want to see all the art
they've been keeping in there.

Sir.

You want to tell me
what the hell's going on?

In this world, loyalty and trust
are such critical qualities.

- Don't touch those.
- Back away, please, ma'am.

What I need to know is
how far can I trust you?

Please, ma'am,
stay out of our way.

What are you doing in my house?

Oh, we're admiring
your collection.

I don't need
an art history degree

to know that that's
a really expensive painting.

There are more
in the office, sir.

I had no idea that was here.

This is the sort of thing
that should be

up with our Hosts, isn't it?

Yes, of course.
Of course it is.

There, her.

She's the one
that brought it to me.

She the one that you want.

Talk to her.

Who are you?

I'm just an assistant.

This way, please, ma'am.

- No. What are you doing?
- Come with me.

- This is my house!
- I think...

Get your hands off of me.

I think that we have

a certain level of trust,
so I'll believe you

if you tell me that
this was your wife's mistake

and not yours.

- I knew nothing about this.
- Do something, Nolan!

I didn't think so.

Nolan!

Let's go!

You bitch!

Okay, ma'am.

Get your hands off of me.

You going camping?

Just taking inventory.

It's good to be ready.

Yes, it is.

Bram, I have to go out tonight.

To the Yonk?

I got Johnnie to cover.

Where are you going?

I have to do something
for the family.

What?

I want to know what's going on.

No, of course,
that would involve

actually explaining
something to me.

I will tell you everything...
I promise you.

I can't do it now.

I need you to
watch Gracie tonight.

- I have plans.
- Break them.

I always have to watch her.
I'm not her parent.

You and Dad are.

- You do it.
- Bram.

Look at me.

This is important.

If there's an emergency,
you can call me on that number,

but this is just between
you and me.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.
Okay.

Thank you.

Hey, bear.

Are you mad at Bram?

No, we just had a disagreement.

About Charlie?

Charlie? No.

Because he's going to be okay.

I know he is.

All the kids are.

We're their favorites.
They need us.

Who?

What are you reading?

Nothing.

Grace Kathryn.

I can't tell you.

Let me see.

Mom!

Mom...
Mom, please.

Lindsey give this to you?

Mom, give it back.

Give me back my book, Mom!

- Hey.
- Mom, this is mine!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Give it back.

I would like you to go
up to your room right now

and compose yourself.

Excuse me, go.

What happened?

That's what Lindsey's
been teaching your sister.

- Holy shit.
- Yeah.

Don't ever believe anybody
who tells you that

what we're dealing with here
is benign.

Hey.

What's wrong?

Lindsey...
you know what she's been doing?

You know what they've been
teaching our daughter?

Indoctrination.

Right here in our house,

and both of us
too blind to see it.

Our daughter
is worshipping the RAPs.

- Do you not care?
- Yes, I care.

But we don't have
to worry about that anymore.

We're leaving the colony.

What?

You, Maddie, and the kids
are gonna go with Beau.

He's got a cabin up in Big Bear.

It's stocked,
off the grid, safe.

When were you gonna tell me
about this plan?

I'm telling you now.
The window is now.

And when we're up
in Big Bear with Beau,

where will you be?

I'm gonna go and get Charlie
and meet you there.

- This is funny?
- No, Will, it's crazy.

When I came into the Yonk,
you said that you would do this.

I thought we were just talking.

I didn't realize
that you were serious.

I'm the only one
that's been serious

about protecting this family.

How can you say that?

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 did it because you can never
accept things the way they are.

No, I did it because someone
has to do something.

You know
what's going on out there?

Someone has to say "enough."

I should have shut you down
the minute I found out

what you were doing.

Instead, I'm running around town
trying to clean up after you.

Thanks...
don't need your help.

You'd be dead
if it wasn't for me.

So would you.

Like Phyllis?

You mean the person
whose job it was

to hunt down and destroy
anyone brave enough to stand up?

That how you justify it?

I showed you what Broussard did,

and you stayed with him anyway.

I don't have to justify
anything to you.

Oh.

You watched my friend Rachel

get shot in the street
like a dog.

And then they hung her
and her sons from a bridge.

They were babies, Will.

You think I don't know that?

That is on you.

What you are doing put a noose
around those babies' necks.

Maybe you should think
about our kids.

I am doing this for our kids!

You don't care what I think.

You just show up here
with a plan

expect me to follow orders.

That's not a partnership, Will,
and it's not a marriage.

Don't you tell me
what a marriage is.

I was straight up with you,
and you lied to my face.

You lied to me
when you went after Charlie.

What would have happened
if you hadn't come home?

We would never have known
what happened to you.

Will, I hate myself for this.
I hate myself every day.

I hate what it's done to us.

I hate what it's done
to our family.

But I know you hate
the Authority as much as I do.

You could fight with us.

We have something new...
something big.

We're gonna finally get a look
inside the Occupation

and see what it is
that we're facing.

We could fight together

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

And you thought
my plan was crazy.

You need to get the kids
and go with Beau.

And do what?
Hide?

There's no hiding
from them, Will,

not even outside the Walls.

How would we survive?

Please, Katie.

I'm sorry.
I can't.

I can't.
I can't.

The proposal we spoke about.

Gill. No surprise.
Newman, Voight, Rosenburg...

Son of a bitch.

There's gonna be
a fight ahead of us

if we're gonna keep our jobs.

Then let's sharpen our knives.

Sorry I'm late.

What happened?
Where's Katie?

She's not coming.

Okay, no biggie.

We'll wait for another
opportunity to come along.

There won't be
another opportunity.

We got the go-ahead
from Snyder.

The tunnel's still open.
You should use it.

I don't know
what's gonna happen here, but...

I don't want you
taking the hit for it.

Get out while you can.

Doesn't matter what a man has
if he doesn't have purpose.

You take that away from him...

man usually goes with it.

To tell you the truth...

I never thought
I'd find mine again.

- Watch your six, brother.
- Always.

Excuse me?

- Hi, sorry.
- What the hell are you doing?

- I just had a question, um...
- This is a restricted area.

- Do you know if you...
- Turn around right now.

This is MacArthur Station.
I think we may have a problem.

Go again, MacArthur Station.
We did not copy.

MacArthur Station,
please report.

This is MacArthur Station.
False alarm.

We're all clear.

Copy that.

Who are they?

Must be
some elite bodyguard unit.

Never seen them before.

Same thing, little bigger.

We're in.

Watch your head.

Set the pressure plate.

- Train is inbound.
- Hyperion inbound.

- Don't rush me.
- Two minutes to station.

MacArthur Station,
please confirm.

Copy that.
MacArthur Team ready.

We're out of time.

Come on, let's get out of here.

We're out of time.

- All right, we're set.
- Are you sure?

We're set.

Get around the corner.

It's coming
into the kill-zone.

Holy shit!

I thought you were just going
to nudge it off the tracks.

Jesus Christ, B.B.

It was my first bomb.

It's not like we could test it.

Eric.
