Colony (2016–2018): Season 2, Episode 12 - Seppuku - full transcript

Previously on "colony"....

Rise, maddie kenner,

and receive your welcome
into the greatest day.

Holy shit, it worked.

You can do something
with the gauntlet?

We have someone who
understands the alien interface.

Who took it?

A group called the red hand.

Bram bowman.

Thank you

for your service in the war.



An attack on the green zone.

It was a massacre.

The red hand are your friends?

Everything that we built
was just set on fire.

Can we trust alcala
to respond appropriately?

Of course not.

Which means
that we need leverage.

I might know a way inside.

The suit just arrived.

Yeah, I heard.

You boys get your story
buttoned up?

Actually, I was thinking
on telling them

what really happened.

And why would you go
and do something like that?



You ever stop
and wonder how we got here?

We got here because
we took the money.

There ain't nothing
wrong with that.

I didn't go private
for a paycheck.

Just couldn't remember why
I signed up anymore.

So now you want to
go to an Iraqi prison

because some dumb-ass
on your team got trigger-happy?

Good game.

B.

Don't talk to that suit
until you get your head right.

Damn.

Do you ever miss?

Nope.

You're Eric broussard?

Yeah.

I'm here for
your incident report.

Sign here.

What's that?

Your sworn affidavit
that you and your men

fired in self-defense.

We'll get you
through the checkpoint

into Kuwait this afternoon.

These are
commercial tickets home.

Home?

We have to get
your team out of here

in case the locals
start demanding interviews.

It's company policy.

The locals
should be asking questions.

We screwed up.

Nobody in Baghdad or Washington

wants this to be a problem.

So don't make it a problem.

You want to
clean your conscience?

Volunteer at a soup kitchen.

Go work for
amnesty international.

Just wait until you're
out of this goddamn country.

Understand?

You okay?

114 dead in the green zone,

including four department heads,

and even worse,

an ambassador from the iga.

How do you think I am?

You're gonna survive this.

Only if the people around me

remain loyal.

You know I'll stand by you.

Do I?

Because I remember asking you
to get rid of that girlfriend.

Instead, she walks an iga
security team into a trap.

- I'm getting rid of her.
- Why is it so hard?

All you have to do
is snap your fingers.

- She's got a son.
- Not yours.

I just want to make sure
the kid's in a safe place.

I'm taking care of it...

This morning.

We're gonna survive this.

Helena is the real problem.

Which is why
we need to make the case

to the folks at iga
that she's the cause

of our recent issues.

If we had been left alone to
initiate the Seattle protocol,

none of this
would have happened.

You know that.

Do you know someone at the iga?

I do.

Nolan.

We all have our needs.

But perhaps you should be
a little more selective

about who enters your bed.

I'm planning on it.

You haven't called me.

I'm trying not
to take it personally.

I don't have anything.

Are you telling me that
despite the shocking massacre

that just occurred in this bloc,

you have nothing to report?

It's all just noise.

I didn't want to bother you.

Tell me about Nolan burgess.

The deputy proxy.

You know, a man can only
play dumb so many times

before everyone
starts to believe it.

You just oversaw
a security failure

of biblical proportions.

Do you want
to go down with the ship,

or do you want
to start helping me?

A file was illegally downloaded

to Nolan burgess' home computer.

We believe the file
passed to the resistance

via Nolan's girlfriend.

Katie bowman's sister?

Yes.

What was in this file?

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'll come and visit
as soon as I can, okay?

Okay.

Hey, Hudson...

Lay it on me.

Be good, okay?

Maddie, maddie, don't.

I can't, I can't. It's too much.

What if one of those maniacs
had come to our house,

found you and Hudson?

This is just until
we can clean up the bloc.

He'll be safe there?

Yeah, of course.

Look, it's an honor, actually.

He's gonna be with children

of top officials
from around the world...

Maybe even iga.

There's no better place
for him to be.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I reached out to the red hand.

I tried to explain to them
why we need the gauntlet.

I couldn't even
get to their leader.

Do we really need the gauntlet?

I'm not leaving the bloc
without it.

Then we need to negotiate

and, if that fails,
have a backup plan.

How we gonna make contact?

We might have a way.

We need to contact the red hand.

Why?

They have something we need.

They don't talk to anyone
outside their group.

That's their rule.

We just want to meet with them.

It's important, bram.

I don't know how to find them.

Their friends at the camp
gave me a location,

but it was a one-time thing...
They're always moving.

I don't believe you.

You wanted to be

a part of what we're doing.

This is your chance.

There's a guy...

A bouncer at a club.

I'm looking for Karen.

Man, get out of here.

I'm not telling you
a goddamn thing.

Okay.

You know who he is?

Yeah.

I admired
your green zone attack.

We thought your group might want
to take it to the next level.

We have a back door
into homeland.

Bullshit.

I used to work there.

Just take our offer
to your leader.

Tell her we want to meet.

What do you say, drink?

No. I don't feel
much like celebrating.

Come on.

We got an empty house,

a little music.

Hey.

Stop it.

Stop what?

I don't want to
do this right now.

Don't want to do what?

What do you think's
gonna happen to the bloc?

Nothing good.

And us?

It depends on
the choices we make, I guess.

What do you mean?

We live in a moment
filled with tough decisions.

Sometimes those decisions
can seem...

Selfish.

We're really just doing
what we need to do to survive.

Do you believe
in the greatest day?

I mean, we have to.

Otherwise, how could we live
with ourselves?

See you.

Move in.

Hello?

Go, go, go!

Turn around.

What are you doing here?

This is my house.

- I said turn around.
- Nolan!

Nolan!

Wait.

My son!

- Move.
- No! You bastard!

What have you done with my son?

So Nolan burgess is dating the
sister of a resistance leader?

Yes. And this resistance
leader used the relationship

to lead an iga security team
into a trap.

Well, bad optics, obviously,

but how does this
help us with alcala?

A file containing
classified population data

was downloaded
from Nolan's house.

It passed to the resistance,

and they've been using it
as propaganda.

Nolan's either complicit
or careless.

- So we can squeeze him.
- Exactly.

And Nolan knows where all the
bodies are buried in this bloc.

We'll turn him and then
explain that his only chance

is to give up something
on alcala.

Well, it's nice to see
that you didn't lose

your gift
for political maneuvering

while down in that camp.

I'm just trying
to serve the authority

and you, of course.

Of course.

That leaked file...

The resistance
has been twisting information

to make some
inflammatory claims.

Such as?

That the attrition rate
in the bloc is rising so rapidly

that Los Angeles
will be empty in two years.

We'll just push back
with our own propaganda

once we have alcala
under our thumb.

Is it true?

When I was proxy,

I was told that
the escalation was temporary,

that we needed to populate
new facilities,

but eventually the bloc's
numbers would stabilize.

Don't play innocent.

It doesn't suit you.

You think she's
actually gonna show up?

Why not?

As far as she knows,
she holds all the cards.

Behind the trees,
50 meters right of your mark.

Got 'em.

Somebody's coming.

You wanted to meet?

Well, here I am.

You have something of mine...

An object in a lead-lined box.

I want it back.

The rap artifact.

I paid a price for that thing.

We brought down holy hell
on our heads by stealing it,

and it killed one of my men.

Then why do you want it back?

We made contact
with a resistance group

beyond the wall.

They have scientists
who can do something with it.

This is an opportunity
to make a real difference.

No.

Why not?

It might be useful to us.

Like it or not,
you're a part of something

bigger than yourself.

Our group is successful

because we don't work
with people like you.

Bogeys behind the Ridge.

Your problem is
you don't even see

the compromises
that you've made.

You work with people
within the occupation.

You've got hostiles
trying to flank you.

Get ready to pull out.

Sources.

Yes, and you are corrupted
by your contact with them.

Only an amateur would say that.

I'm proud to be an amateur.

A million professionals
were wiped out

the day of the arrival,

and you still think
those tactics are going to work?

You can't even get a handful
of people to follow you.

Meanwhile, I'm turning away
volunteers.

Then why did you kill hennessey?

Because he would have flipped

the moment
the occupation found him.

He was a good man
doing good work.

Really?

And what did he do
to change the bloc?

He did a lot more than
killing women and children

in the green zone.

They were collaborators.

And if you shed
a single tear for them,

so are you.

They're coming up
on our position.

Either we fall back,
or I start shooting.

This was supposed
to be a parlay.

Tell your people to fall back...

Or we can all die here.

That woman is a plague.

She'll burn this bloc down
without a second thought.

- She lost a child.
- Exactly...

Which is why she'll keep
provoking the occupation

till eventually they go nuclear,

which is probably
what she wants.

So what do we do?

Take back the gauntlet...

And wipe them all out.

Alan, always a pleasure.

Please, have a seat.

Forgive me if I cut
straight to the point.

I just learned
about a certain file

that apparently disappeared
from this very house.

This situation has raised
certain unpleasant questions

with homeland, of course.

They're ready to launch
a full investigation.

Unless I play ball.

Unbelievable.

I save your ass,
and this is how you repay me...

With some clumsy
blackmail attempt?

At least I didn't promise you

a level-three job
in the authority

and a house in the green zone.

You know what
your problem is, Alan?

You know why
you failed as proxy?

You're just too damn petty.

Yes, I might have dated
the wrong woman,

but that situation
has been handled.

I expect her
to sign a full confession

before she gets shipped off
to the factory.

Now she'll be able
to reconnect with your wife.

It's interesting
how all your women

wind up in space.

Would you excuse me, Alan?

I've just got a mountain
of paperwork here.

- Of course.
- You understand, yeah.

Why are you loyal to alcala?

He wouldn't stand up for you.

Helena's been weakened.

At some point,
you got to place a bet, right?

See, that's exactly
where you're wrong.

The moment you place a bet,
you're exposed.

- Were you able to follow her?
- Yep.

Our little Bumblebee
tracked her all the way home.

A theater?

- Yeah.
- Not a bad place for a hideout.

Lots of entrances and exits.

Good job.

I got to tell you,
there's a lot of people

coming in and out of here.

How many?

Like, a lot.

You're back.

I need you to find
the bowman sister,

the one who was banging
Nolan burgess.

You know where she is.

This is no way to treat a lady.

Unbind her immediately.

Miss kenner,
I'm so glad I found you.

I'm horrified
at the outrageous way

that you've been treated.

- You can help me?
- Of course.

I'm here to make sure that
your side of the story is told.

I signed a confession.

This confession?

Seems like a whole lot
of nonsense to me.

How could an upstanding
woman like yourself

be solely responsible
for these kinds of crimes?

They said I had to sign it...

To keep my son safe.

They don't have the power
to keep your son safe, but I do.

I can see why you
were attracted to Nolan.

He's smart, handsome,

but he has the wrong
kind of ambition.

And it's going to destroy him

and maybe even the whole bloc,

unless he's stopped.

And you're different?

I'm here to help you.

No.

You're here to help yourself.

Perhaps.

But unlike Nolan
and his friends,

I keep my promises.

What do I have to do?

Just work with me.

And in exchange,
I'll protect your son

and keep you from going
to the factory.

Thank you.

I'll send someone
to take your statement.

the more you can give me
on Nolan,

the more I can help you.

Fine.

I need to know something.

The greatest day...

All the promises they made.

Is it real?

No.

And my son?

Is there really a camp?

That's real.

And at least he'll be trained
for what's coming.

I'm sorry you picked
the wrong guy.

Morgan was able to pull off
a flyby with the drone.

They have barracks
for their foot soldiers

on the first floor.

Headquarters
is up these stairs...

Only Karen
and a few key advisors

are allowed access.

They keep valuables in here.

There's the box
with the gauntlet.

It was too dangerous
to get the drone any closer.

These are bad odds.

We really gonna risk
our lives for that thing?

That thing is the game changer.

Okay, why?

We have a rap.

- What?
- One of them defected.

It doesn't believe in
what the rest of them are doing.

Our rap just needs the gauntlet
to tap into their communication.

It's the only piece
we're missing.

- We got to get it back.
- Okay, but how?

They probably outnumber us
ten to one.

Their soldiers
might be fanatics,

but they're also
untrained amateurs.

We can beat them
if we fight them on our terms.

Maybe we use the tracking device

that bb removed
from the gauntlet?

We toss it into their hideout,

wait for the drones to respond,

and grab the gauntlet
during the chaos.

Target's too exposed.

Then we do it
the old-fashioned way...

Hit 'em hard and fast.

What do you think?

I think our kids need a future.

[Knock at door

need to talk to you.

Your father and I have
to go do something.

And it's dangerous.

You're going after the red hand?

Yes.

Because of me.

No.

No, because...

They have something we need.

That woman, noa,

she's gonna take our family
someplace safe.

But we have to do this first.

And what if you don't come back?

Then you need to take care
of your sister and brother.

Go to aunt maddie,

ask for her help.

She won't listen to me.

She will.

She's...

She's still family.

We'll be back tonight.

I love you.

Hey, mom.

Be careful.

Hola, amigo.

Go.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Better keep it moving.

Is she...?

Yeah.

We're being overrun.

We've got the target.
Get out of there.

She can't... she can't be dead.

She never told us
where her base was.

She never told us anything!
We got to go.

Hurry up. They're downstairs.

Will, two bogeys
coming up behind you.

Go!

Set! Move!

Go!

Shit.

I'm out of ammunition!
Go! I'll cover you!

We move together!

It's too hot! I'll buy you time!

We move together!

You have a family!

Get out of here!

Where's noa?

Broussard?

He's coming. We got to go.

I'm out.

Hello, Nolan.

- What are you doing here?
- I'm enjoying a drink.

- You should leave.
- Before you even hear my offer?

Alan, I told you,
I'm standing with alcala.

I remember, but that was
before I got a chance to chat

with the delightful
Madeline kenner.

She had all sorts of things
to say about you.

Hell truly hath no fury...

Alan, she signed
a full confession.

Under duress.

But she has subsequently
decided to elaborate.

For example, she explained
that you played a direct role

in getting a certain file
to the resistance.

- That's a lie.
- Perhaps.

But consider it
from the iga's perspective.

They aren't gonna
want to take the risk

that you can be trusted,
not after this.

What do you want?

Same thing I've always wanted...

To protect this bloc.

You give me what I need
to take down alcala,

in exchange,
Helena will push you

as the new proxy,

and your ex-girlfriend problem
will simply disappear.

What's your angle?

I didn't enjoy my time
as a front man.

But I think I could be
very effective

behind the throne.

to old friendships...

And new roads.

Where are we gonna
rendezvous with broussard?

He's not coming.

We were about to be overrun.

He stayed behind to hold them
off as long as possible.

He's not dead.

We have to move. Let's go.

Someone attacks the red hand,
kills their leader,

and then lures most of
their soldiers into an ambush.

The attackers used this
to summon our drones.

That's from the host's gauntlet.

Broussard.

I'm not a man who generally
looks a gift horse in the mouth,

but why would broussard
attack the red hand?

What did he want?

I don't know.

Show me the roof.

Sir, the governor-general
is here for you.

I can see that.

Get out.

So you have been falsifying
your reports to the iga?

That's an absurd accusation.

Well, this appears to be an edit

made in your handwriting,

cutting the terrorist incident
report in half.

And that's only
the tip of the iceberg.

I have everything.

You got this from Nolan burgess.

He seems to want your job,

which shows a certain lack
of imagination,

given that Los Angeles is going
through proxies like firewood.

What are you gonna do?

Well, that depends.

You haven't been
a very good listener.

I can change that.

Well...

Los Angeles needs
to project stability,

so you will remain as proxy...

But in name only.

People I trust
will run the bloc,

and you will rubber-stamp
all of their decisions.

What about Nolan burgess?

Like I said,

the people I trust
are in charge.

Yeah, I know what time
it is over there.

I don't care. Wake him up.

It's urgent.

Just have him look at the file
as soon as possible, okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Up against the wall!

- Go, go!
- Now! Let's move!

Let's go!

You have ten minutes

to pack whatever personal items
you want.

Where's Nolan?

My son... I sent him to a camp.

How do I get him back?

Nine minutes.

What are we gonna do?

Noa was our point of contact.

We're gonna get
out of this bloc.

Then we'll figure it out.

We don't know anything.

We don't know where to go.

We don't know if it's safe.

It's better than staying here
and waiting for what's coming.

It's me.

Thank god you're alive.

I shouldn't be.

What happened?

I got the hands
to chase me onto the roof.

When they pinned me down,

I dropped the tracking device.

The drones showed up
and opened fire...

shredded everything.

Except you.

Yeah.

One of them came down
closer than you are right now,

just stared at me.

And then it just flew away.

That happened to me...

Coming back from Santa Monica.

Maybe it has something to do
with that, file

that you found
in the Blackjack's car?

Maybe you're both
on some kind of special list?

To Nolan,

who shot for the moon
and finally got it.

You're bad.

Whoever eliminated the
red hand did us a huge favor.

Now we just need to rein in
the greatest day

and let the people in
the middle, the normal people,

take control of their bloc.

I hope you're right.

There's a call
for you, ma'am, from davos.

They're up early.

- Excuse me a moment.
- Of course.

This is Helena goldwyn.

Governor-general,

this is sabine arnuad,
the chief counsel.

I'm afraid I have bad news.

I see.

What is it?

We just received word
from our hosts.

The Los Angeles bloc

has been scheduled
for total rendition.

I understand.

Something wrong?

No.

Just the usual politics.
