Colony (2016–2018): Season 2, Episode 8 - Good Intentions - full transcript

Will and Katie must save a fugitive from the occupation. At the camp, Snyder hides evidence. Broussard's cell is threatened by one of their own.

Previously on "Colony"...

[groans]

[tense music]

We successfully captured
a key Red Hand operative.

- [electric crackling]
- [screaming]

Yet before we could extract

- any useful intelligence...
- No, no, come on.

She managed to kill herself
while in our custody.

- Come on.
- What is it?

It's our chance to change everything.

[loud explosion]



A sensitive file was downloaded

from my office computer.

The other information
on that flash drive,

it matched something else
we've been working on.

This isn't a colony.

It's a death camp.

[door opening]

Proxy Alcala is here, ma'am.

- You're late.
- My apologies.

The traffic. [chuckles]

Proxy Fleming, Proxy
Lee, what did I miss?

Helena was just bringing us up to date

on last night's explosion.

It was an automated transport ship.



None of our Hosts were harmed.

Can we say that this
was an act of sabotage?

Yes, and since virtually all
of the supplies on the ship

passed through our
processing and labor camps...

It's not our fault. They
can't possibly blame us.

They have blamed us for less.

In the meantime, we need
to continue to do our jobs,

which is to maintain
order in this Colony.

That's what I wanted to talk about.

Everyone in my bloc saw the explosion,

and I'm sure the Resistance
will try to claim it

for propaganda purposes.

I suggest we get ahead of it.

The Greatest Day is gaining
real momentum in my bloc.

With the right spin,
the public will believe

that this event was intentional.

We can't push this
Greatest Day thing too hard.

The people still need to
respect the civilian authority.

It would be a mistake to
let a crisis go to waste.

The nature of their
response is out of our hands.

Let's just ensure that
any decisions we make now

won't come back to haunt us.

Understand?

Of course.

My fellow citizens,

we all saw something...

remarkable last night.

Now, I know that there
are a lot of rumors

going around our bloc.

What you witnessed...

was the test of a technology

that you have never seen before,

one capable of inter-dimensional travel.

All in preparation for the Greatest Day.

I understand the hardships
that all of you...

Asshole.

They're holding for you.

[indistinct radio chatter]

What happened?

Someone left a loose end
at the safe house yesterday.

Once again, I find myself asking

how this could have happened.

Once we secured the perimeter,
the cordon moved inside.

No one was covering the back.

This Red Hand is a dangerous
group of anarchists,

part of a toxic ideology that
threatens order in our bloc.

The more they continue to propagate,

the more impotent we're going to appear.

Do we know where this kid is?

The surveillance pool
is working overtime.

Every eye we have is looking
for Mr. Emmett Hallstead.

Give me one day, Mr. Bennett,

without anything getting in my way,

and I will bring him in.

I've already seen what this partnership

is capable of together.

I want to see how you
operate on your own.

Detective Burke, you will
oversee the surveillance operation

as we look for Mr. Hallstead.

Detective Bowman, you will
return to the safe house

and find whatever it is you
missed the first time around.

- Why am I the one being sidelined?
- There is no sideline.

I'm just waiting for one of
you to do something useful.

[ominous music]

♪ ♪

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You make any progress on that file?
- Yeah.

I feel like I'm putting together slides

for the most depressing TED Talk ever.

"So You're Going Extinct."

It's a powerful message.

Should inspire more
people to join the fight.

It worked on me.

Well, does that mean you're gonna be
moving into our lovely little flat?

Will's in trouble.

His team raided one of
the Red Hand's safe houses.

Will found a kid hiding
inside, helped him escape.

But now they're out looking for the kid.

All right, so let me get this right.

You sabotage our operation with
the the RAP and quit the group,

yet when you need help, we're
supposed to pretend it didn't happen?

I am the reason you
escaped the Occupation.

And I helped you with BB.

Yeah, that worked great.

We'll go to Hennessey and
tell him about the kid.

Whoa. Why are you taking the gauntlet?

Hennessey's gonna hold onto it.

- Who decided that?
- I did.

Don't you think we
should talk about this?

We're under a lot of heat,
and it's not doing any good

sitting in a box down here.

That's the only thing we have.

- We've been...
- It's the right play.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

There's a load down in sectors 1-5.

Repeat: a load down in sectors 1-5.

Show me.

Clean it up.

- Not a trace.
- Yes, sir.

Do you remember when
my... my mum came to visit?

[chuckles]

Yeah.

I think I traumatized her by
taking her to that Ethiopian place.

She liked you, you know.

She...

always wondered why we...

we couldn't make it work.

I, uh, have to show you something.

Where did you get this?

They're posted all over the city.

Did you call this number?

I did.

They have her.

I... wait. Your mother's in England.

- I thought your mother was in England.
- Yeah, they...

they work for some intelligence
unit outside the Colony.

Oh, Jesus, Simon.

This is our chance to get out.

We didn't sign up for this.

We'll just... we'll just
say we got in too deep,

that we didn't know what we were doing.

You really think they'll buy that?

All they want is the gauntlet.

That's why we have to act
now before Hennessey goes

and does something with it.

Morgan, we have to cut our losses.

How can...

how can we trust them?

Well, if we stay in this
bloc, we're dead anyway.

Okay.

What do we have to do?

We need to give them Broussard.

♪ ♪

I have to say, Mr. Bowman,

I didn't think you had it in you.

I'm curious whether
when you stole my keycard

to help your attractive,
fanatical girlfriend

you thought about the consequences

to not only yourself but every
other person in this place.

Today I'm not the prison warden

who's gonna threaten
you with punishment.

Today I'm just a fellow inmate.

And I'm telling you...

that you just signed
your own death warrant...

and mine...

and every other soul in this camp.

Because the RAPs do not care
who wears what uniform down here.

When something like this happens,

we all burn.

Unless, of course, it never happened.

If there's no evidence at
all that your friend's little

gunpowder plot originated
here, then it didn't happen.

And if it didn't happen,

then maybe we all get
to live another day.

Of course, that would mean that
there can be no contradicting evidence

left behind, anything or anyone

that could upset the delicate narrative

that you and I are establishing.

Which means that I need you...

to provide me with names.

So you can have more people killed?

I'm sorry.

Was I, in my state of utter distress,

babbling in tongues?

Your friends are already dead!

This is damage control.

Either some of us die,

or all of us do.

You get the honor of
deciding which one of those

it's going to be.

Your daughter was in the Resistance.

And...

I'm sorry. She didn't make it.

[sobbing] Oh, my God.

She's dead.

I... I thought that I did.

I was separated from my
son during the invasion.

He was gone for over a year.

- Not knowing was...
- I should've...

I should've kept her closer.

It's not your fault.

She got involved with a powerful cult.

No. Cults prey on the weak.

And my daughter was strong.

You're right. She was.

Were... were you there when...

I have to know.

If someone could have
told you about your son,

even if the news was terrible,

wouldn't you have wanted to know?

- I tried to save her.
- You tried to save her?

[shouts]

You tried.

The RAPs don't even
have to kill us anymore,

because we're all down here lining up

to do their work for them.

And now I'm gonna go to the factory,

just for being Frankie's mother,

because that's what you people do.

Not all of us.

Are you in touch with them?

Not for lack of trying.

The Occupation is looking
for one of their gophers.

We could warn them.
It might be a way in.

And why are we suddenly
so eager to find an in?

Her husband, Will.

The collaborator.

He let a kid go during a raid.

The Occupation sniffed it out.

They find the kid and break
him, it'll be bad for Will.

I just don't see why
that would be bad for me.

No offense.

My husband has been
valuable to the cause.

Refuse to help him

one of your best sources

The name of the kid who
escaped the safe house

is Emmett Hallstead.

How do you know that?

Because he came here last
night asking me for help.

He didn't go back to the Red Hand?

They're the ones he's running
from. He's terrified of them.

Says they're gonna kill him
just to tie up loose ends.

Yeah, shades of ISIS, man.

I put him in a safe house

another passing day,

Charlie, stop it.

who honor our Hosts with
our patience and obedience...

paid attention for once,

All I have to do is
tell one of the elders

that I've been looking

destructive, and
completely without remorse,
