The Colony (2009–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Recon Mission - full transcript

We are on the edge of a global
catastrophic disaster.

Human conflict.

Nuclear bombs.

Natural disasters.

Chemical and biological warfare.

Without warning,
the world as we know it

can come to an end.

44 days ago,
a group of volunteers

entered a 10-week experiment

to see if they can survive
and rebuild

after a simulated viral outbreak



leaves los angeles and the rest
of the planet devastated.

Their new home...

a cordoned-off,
80,000-square-foot warehouse

near downtown los angeles.

They started
with no electricity...

no water...
nothing.

...and no communication
with the outside world.

They're not broadcasting.
They're just transmitting.

As part of the experiment,

an outside gang
of looters and thugs

challenged the colonists'
resources and security.

So far, the volunteers
have survived

on limited resources
in and around the warehouse.

Mike, we're live.



But their resources
are dwindling.

And outsiders
have breached their security.

Yeah!

Now illness takes
a colonist out.

I'm feeling
a little lightheaded right now.

And those who remain
work on an exit strategy.

Get that truck built,
and get the hell out of here.

Be safe.

Let's take the entire situation,
how serious it is,

into the picture.

There's absolutely
nothing available.

There's no stores.
There's no people.

There's nothing around,
absolutely nothing.

Lower amount of food
is starting to have an effect.

I think i've gone through every
bit of body fat that i have,

and i've lost
quite a bit of weight.

Over a month
and a half of malnutrition

and sleep deprivation,
and now stocks are running dry.

I want to get out of here.

Like, anywhere but in the...

the dirty part of the city.

It just makes it
all that much more worse.

With no relief in sight,

the volunteers
are now focusing all efforts

on their plan to leave the city.

I've said over and over again

that truck is our exodus,
our way out.

Time's a-tickin'.
Time's a-tickin'.

We need to get out of here.

If your resources are dwindling
or your safety is at risk,

you're going to have to make
the decision to relocate

and find better resources
or pockets of other survivors.

When i press on this side,
does it hurt?

Right there.

If it was appendicitis,
i would be able to push down,

and he'd scream.

Kind of went to crack my back,
and I'm not gonna lie.

I had my hand
in my right pocket,

and just went to
kind of grab my

but it felt a little weird,
my right one,

and it just sent me
to the ground.

I thought i was gonna faint.

I'm feeling a little lightheaded
right now, actually.

That's his blood pressure,
i expect.

The highest chair
i could find.

Can you feel his pulse? Yeah.

Talk to me.

All right.

There's a possibility it could
just be, like, a kidney stone.

It takes you down
to the floor,

the equivalent to,
you know, having birth.

You're gonna
need to rest today

and drink lots and lots
of water.

Knowing that
he's pretty much dehydrated...

no one's drinking
enough water...

the thing
I'm pointing to the most

is probably a kidney stone.

And it's down lower,
which is a good thing.

It's close to passing.

So right now
I'm just having Joey rest

and drink
lots and lots of water.

A kidney stone is a
solid mass that forms in the kidney,

moves down the ureter
to the bladder,

and exits the body
in the urine stream.

Large stones can get caught in
the ureter, causing it to spasm.

The lower it gets,
the more pain it produces.

For someone
like Joey to go down,

I know he's in pain.

With Dr. George gone,

Joey must have faith that
Allison's diagnosis is accurate

and hope it's nothing worse.

If it's not a kidney stone,
it could be fatal.

I mean, there's no medical care.

I mean,
Allison can only do so much.

I wouldn't want to be
in Joey's underwear right now.

A cohesive group can create
a powerful motivating force

when an integral member
of a community

becomes incapacitated.

It's natural for the other
members of the community

to rally and take it
as a call to action.

With Joey down,

the rest of the colonists
pick up his call

to work on their escape plan.

We need to start figuring out
where we're going

and what's around here.

Reconnaissance.

We do something
about reconnaissance.

First of all,
we need to get to know our area

much better
than we know it so far.

I want to do
an electric vehicle.

If we want to make it
a recon vehicle, so be it.

We can actually observe
what is going around

in any given moment
if we decide to do that.

It occurred to me that
we could use a balloon thing

and just hoist it up,
put a camera on it,

and at least maybe
steer it around somehow

and get shots of, you know,
the nearby neighborhood.

All right, let's get to it. Let's get to it.

To the class boards.

To prepare for their exodus,

the volunteers are planning
two reconnaissance projects.

First, an electric vehicle
to gather supplies

far beyond the spots
they've already picked over.

And second, an unmanned airship
with security camera

to help see threats and escape
routes in the immediate area.

See if i can spell.

It's gonna be a trike.

We're going to have a frame
that goes around everything...

like that.

We're gonna need 10 batteries.

And then back here,
solar panels.

The trike will
be built in four main stages

using scavenged materials
and car parts.

First, they'll build
the rear driveline assembly.

Then they'll make
the front-wheel steering column.

Third,
they'll create a throttle.

And last, they'll construct
a solar-powered battery bank

to fuel the engine
and make it go.

That's gonna
be a big build.

Yeah.

In the shop,
Mike and John v.

Lay out the preliminary pieces
of the trike frame...

square steel bars
found in the warehouse

and a 120-volt electric motor

found on a scavenging trip
37 days ago.

I don't know if we really
want it up that high. Do we?

How big are those rims
with the tires?

Show you.

Then they begin
the rear driveline assembly.

We got to put
a wheel on this.

This is the only shaft
we have.

We need to find
another shaft.

And i bet you that fan
has the half-inch...

or the three-quarter shaft
we need.

Let's go look.

A piece-of-crap fan
is providing us now

with a drive shaft for our bike.

Come on, John. Come on,
come on, come on, come on.

We can weld here
and then weld here.

And that's our shaft.
Done.

Done deal.

Take our shaft.

We're gonna put it
dead center in that plate.

Gonna weld it,
gusset it,

and then we have
two pillow blocks

that are gonna hold
that shaft to the frame,

and then the shaft
is adapted to the motor.

No problem.

I'm gonna
grind these puppies down,

and then we're gonna
go over there and weld.

I have just finished
putting on my shafts.

The shafts are welded.
The hubs are welded.

So I'm turning both sides.
I have a transaxle.

This one's gonna have
two-tire drive.

Great traction.
Never gets stuck in the mud.

That's it.
We're ready to rock.

Morgan and Amy cook lunch...

noodles, their last can of tuna,
and bannock,

a bread
of just flour and water.

Well, room service.

We got some tuna, noodles,
and three bannock.

Sold.

I'm glad you're okay.

I know you're hungry,
but if you want more,

you're gonna have to
ring the bell.

Anything else?
You okay?

No, ma'am.
Okay.

Thank you.
Rest up.

Coming up...
oh, my god! Oh, my god!

...the colony gets flooded.

What do we do?
What do we do?

And their recon trip
takes a dangerous turn.

Get out!

Next gets it!

While contractor Joey
waits to pass a kidney stone,

in the yard,
Mike has an idea

for the front wheel
on his recon trike.

Amy,
hop in and drive.

All right?
Yep.

And this is it.

The rear left is gonna be
a front end of a motorcycle.

Okay. I like it.

Whack these lines off.
I don't care about them.

Just whack it off
and give it to me.

Do you want me
to do this

while you work
on something else?

No.

I was thinking
of doing the cut that way.

Right there.

Right through here.
It's gonna hit this bolt.

Can I go in
and cut this?

Don't even bother.

He'd asked me to do this,

but he never intended
for me to do anything.

Whatever.
All right.

You could squirt...

when stress levels are high
and nerves are already frayed,

it doesn't take much
to set someone off.

Minor arguments
can become major conflicts.

Amy?!

You see,
little sensitive bunnies.

"Oh, you want to do everything."

Okay, you do it.

Amy!

You can cut the arm off
if you want!

Want to be so prissy.
"I want to cut it."

What if you cut it wrong?!

Then we got to go
to the other side.

"I want to cut it."

She had a little fit
and walked off on me

and left me alone outside
to work.

She doesn't want to learn.
She wants to do.

She screws it up,
she screws up my bike.

I can't have that.

"I want to cut the metal.
So i can't cut the metal."

So you're not out there
helping me.

You know why?
Shut up!

You gave me something to do
and then you do it!

So you run off
like a little baby

instead of out there
helping me do the job!

Mike, wait a minute.
Okay.

I'm the only one that was out
there, and i offered to help.

The one person
that has offered help,

he's screaming at.

Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah.
I got to build a vehicle.

"We're all gonna help."

So we're all sitting around
talking about it!

I know i didn't deserve that.

I just don't deserve that.

And yes, the project
needs to get done,

but you also have to draw a line
of how you treat someone.

This is not a forum for tantrums
and for disrespecting others.

While Mike cools off,

Morgan researches
airship design

in a book she found
in the warehouse.

With her design in mind,

she scours the warehouse
for parts

with Allison and John c.

This is
the right kind of wire.

It's pretty important,

because now we'll be able to
check our surroundings.

Before we go out there,
we'll know what to expect.

The build will consist
of three main parts.

First, the balloons...

a collection
of helium-filled trash bags

bound by a system of nets.

Second, a gondola

that will house a security
camera and propulsion fans.

And third, the ground unit,

a monitor and wires that will
tether and power the device.

This is gonna be the sides
of the aerial balloons.

The top is gonna be out of
that orange mesh over there.

And then the sides are gonna be
out of this material.

Hey, Morgan.

What about this
for the gondola part?

This styrofoam.

It's really light.

Yes, but i wonder
if it's rigid enough.

I'm not sure about this.

As Morgan continues
piecing the netting together,

Allison takes a break
and heads up to the pantry

to assess
the colony's food supply.

Right now
I'm doing the food inventory.

With nine people living here,

we use approximately
two to three cans a meal.

The nine colonists are
down to a mere 10 days of food.

Resources are alarmingly low.

And on the streets outside,

a further threat
to their supplies approaches.

There got to be
somebody here.

The s.o.s. Sign.
You guys see it?

Yeah.

Who the hell's
banging at the door?

Leilani, get upstairs.

Is anybody there?!

We seen the s.o.s. Sign!

Four days ago,

two nomads begged the colonists
for food, water, and shelter.

Please!
Keep on trucking.

And the colonists
gave them almost nothing.

Welcome
to the colony truck stop.

Free food and water.
Come on down.

In this next phase
of the experiment,

a second group will test

the colonists' charitable
and survival instincts.

In their ranks
will be women, two children,

and handicapped man,
and a surprise...

one of the colonists'
loved ones.

Who's the leader?
Is there any leader here?

Right here, ma'am.

We're just looking for
a little food and water, ma'am.

Please.

Got women and children.
We're hungry, thirsty.

All we need is
a little food and water.

- Please.
- Please let us in.

Please let us in.

All right, could you guys give
us a couple of minutes, please?

All right?

I need to do this quickly.
This is women and children.

They're asking right now
for some food and water.

It's up to you guys,
but we need to vote quickly

so that someone can go and
get food, if that's the case,

and some water.

Honestly,
there's two kids out there.

Okay, so next time
they come with 10 kids.

Yeah,
and 20 kids and 30 people.

We gonna feed every kid
that comes here with a mother?

We're talking about sending
two kids away without food.

So you guys think long and clear
before you make this decision.

Hello? I have two wives
looking for their husbands.

Hello?!

I'm looking
for my husband, John!

John cohn!

Is there a greg
in there?!

Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding! Ding!

It's dinnertime!

They're giving
food and water away!

Food and water emporium
and trading post.

They are not
our grandchildren.

They are
not our girlfriends.

They are not our wives.

You're exactly right.

Those same two bums
are back.

I'm looking
for my husband, John!

John who?
John cohn.

John cohn?

Cohn.

Hold on.

When does it stop?
When does it stop?

My wife is outside?

Yes,
your wife is outside.

You've got to be
kidding me!

Hold on.
We're opening the door.

What happens
if they all rush in?

I'll tell them
to step back.

I need to go out there.

Step back, please.

Please step back.

Please step back.

Come in.
Come in. Come in.

Could you please
step back?

We found John c.'s wife,

which is amazing,
absolutely exciting,

and I'm so excited for John.

There i am.

I'm hugging my wife,
kissing my wife.

And it was really her.
I just... i fell apart.

I've been thinking
about you.

I've been
wondering how you were.

In the backdrop,

there's this really hard,
jarring emotional story.

They know i will stay.

Could we have some water,
please?

We'll give you water.

We're sending it down
right now.

With reserves almost empty,

the colonists are only sharing
two gallons of water.

Just be careful.

All right,
we'll be on our way, then.

We'll be on our way.

It isn't an easy decision.
That's for sure.

But do you help people
if you kill yourself?

That's the question.

Kids are strong.

I know.

They have their mother.

And they're one less person now,
so they don't have to feed them.

Oh.

Here, John,
where can this go?

The fact that diane
waltzes through the door,

what am i supposed to say?

"No, professor, I'm not gonna
let your wife in"?

She seems nice.

You know, doesn't have an
attitude lik. Som women here.

If you've been reunited
with a loved one

after an extended absence,

it's almost difficult
to believe

that their existence
is real again,

not until you've made them
a part of your daily routine,

your life,
your experience once again.

This is the shop.

And right now Mike is building
an electric car.

Here's my flamethrower.

Your flamethrower.
Why do you need a flamethrower?

Honey,
you need a flamethrower.

This is my transmitter
and coil thing.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.
Oh, my god.

You guys!
We got a water leak!

It's back in the bedrooms.
Something's bad.

Ah, shoot.

Honey, put your stuff
right down there.

Oh, my god!
Where is it coming from?!

As part of the experiment,
the water has been turned on

to simulate the sporadic nature
of public utilities

after a disaster.

But the warehouse pipes
can't take the pressure.

What do we do?
What do we do?

Move all the stuff.
Move all the stuff.

We can't shut it off!

We've got to shut it off!
Back this way!

Right up here, John.

Oh, my god.

Just as suddenly as it came on,
the water is turned off.

But the damage is already done.

Sopping it up old-school
and throwing it outside

and getting rid
of the material.

This means that there's
people out there turning on the water.

So, you know,
there is life out there.

What about this here?

I don't know.

The toilet
just overflowed.

I'm just
letting you know

there's pooey-poo
coming this way.

Lots of poo.
Lots of watery poo.

Who flushed the toilet?
It was all the way up.

Oh, man.

Aw, crap.

If it floods in here
with raw sewage, we're screwed.

Allison,
if you've got a job,

you better do it
right now!

Get me some damn
rubbing alcohol now!

I am a very good nurse,
and i know one thing,

in that Mike will never
speak to me that way.

Nobody will ever walk
into an emergency room

the way that Mike
was yelling and screaming

and get treated.

I cut myself inside the toilet.
Get me some disinfectant.

Never mind.
Never mind.

No one talks to me
that way. Nobody.

Worthless
nurse.

It's not life-threatening.

He will survive,
and he will be okay.

Week-old urine.

This is how i got
my last staph infection.

It almost killed me.

Isn't she a nurse?

Doesn't she know that stagnant
sewage and urine is bad for you?

So now the bleeding has stopped.
Either i have staph or i don't.

We'll find out in the next three
or four days when i drop dead.

Holy crap.

Now we're looking
like some gypsies.

My god.

Diane's been here
less than 20 minutes.

She hasn't slept in 36 hours.

And we've got her
shoveling poop water.

I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

With the sleeping
quarters flooded,

John c. And diane spend their
first night together in 45 days

on the floor of the clinic.

Diane is such a strong
woman and such a grounded person.

I love her so much.

I mean,
this changes everything for me.

It changes everything for me.

He's got a bit skinnier.

His beard's a bit longer.

He's still the same John,
though.

And it's great to be here and
meet the people he's been with.

It's like a real family.
I make number 10.

I love you.

Good night.

We keep boiling,
and we still get something.

At least it's brown.

It smells kind of like coffee.

We add a little fresh coffee
each day.

More just a... cup
with our imagination.

This stuff is brown,
but it is not coffee.

The cleanup
from yesterday continues,

as Amy pulls down
the s.o.s. Sign.

It brought diane here,

but everyone voted
to bring this down

because they didn't want
other stragglers coming in.

The irony of the situation is

that we are not willing
to give help...

ah, the impossible task.

The impossible task
of building a car in two days.

I don't have a complete shop.

I've got broken hand tools...

a welder that kind of works...

and people that can't stand
the sight of me.

He's difficult to work with.
He's difficult to talk to.

He's difficult to live with.
He's a waste of space.

I have never known a guy
claiming to be doing so much

yet whingeing so much.

In the end, Mike is a

today, he'll have to
work on the trike alone.

The rest of the colonists,
including the newest member,

focus their attention
on the dirigible.

So far, all that's complete
is the netting.

Now they need the balloons.

You know,
Mike went off on a rant.

We've made it large enough
so that 30 will fit.

Morgan and Allison inflate
plastic trash bags with helium

from a tank found
in the warehouse.

We should have just enough room
for one more row

after that one.

So there will be
four more after that one.

The gondola is pieced together

using styrofoam,
computer fans,

and a security camera John c.
Scavenged from the warehouse.

I still have to
attach the camera,

'cause i didn't want it
dragging on the ground.

The thing goes right here? Mm-hmm.

Okay.

As the dirigible build
takes off,

Amy starts sanitizing
yesterday's sewage spill.

Preparing to battle
some e. Coli.

She mixes bromine tablets
found during the hospital scavenge

with water
to create a steriLizing cleaner.

There's a lot here.

What's gonna stop this from
flipping all the way over?

We're gonna tether it.

This side is tipping up.

Are we still buoyant? Yep.

All right, next phase.

All right, let's just make
sure real quick

that these two fans work.

Oh, yeah! It's on!

Yeehaw!

The camera's working, too.

Can you see us?
Yes.

Yay! It works!
You can see our feet!

A dirigible or airship
capable of being steered

is a highly efficient platform,

although weather conditions need
to be perfect to avoid disaster.

Oh,
it's so windy outside.

Got it?
We got it?

I'll let you know when I'm out. Okay.

Watch out
for the solar panels.

Okay, we're out.

Ooh, it's all kinds of windy.
I don't know about this, guys.

You're going to need
more than 75 feet.

That's for sure.

I don't like this at all, guys.
It's too windy.

Diane, let go.

Do we have anything
on the monitor?

Yeah.

Let it go!
Let it go! Don't hold it!

You need to hold it.

You let go of it,

it's just gonna go
right into the building.

I don't think we're as buoyant
as we need to be.

Let's go that way.

Guys, guys, guys!

You pull it,
it's coming down!

I'm not pulling it!

There's a screen here.
Calm down.

This is my project!
Shut up!

Let go.
Let go. Let go.

I see our yard.
It's totally twisting, guys.

Aah!

View from the roof.

Uh-oh.

Right into
the razor wire.

We did that
just a little bit too long.

Morgan, i think, struggled
a little bit with the project.

It couldn't be steered
or anything in the stiff wind.

It was a really stiff wind.

Coming up...

all hands on deck...

hey! Get out!

...and a fight for survival.

Next gets it!

The aerial recon build
is a bust.

The colonists
are almost out of food.

And Joey is still down
for the count.

The only chance the colonists
have to find food...

Mike's trike.

All right, guys, we're running
out of a lot of our essentials.

We have no canned food
as far as, like,

the beans or the fresh beans.

So we have a deadline.

Mike, you need to finish
that car, and that's it.

Now let's get to it.

I can't do it alone.

You will have
all the help that you need.

Everybody's gonna chip in.
Everybody has a task.

And we all know
that this is a priority

in order to be able to
get all of those supplies.

And please, guys,
everybody's on edge.

So just sort of calm down
and everything.

We are a family.

We have a new member.
Let's be on our best behavior.

So let's get to it.

All right.

And i got to find
a new belief in god,

because that's the only way
I'm gonna finish this bike.

Now it's on.

The colonists
are full-force on the trike.

And even with night falling,
they decide to keep working.

Something just
came over all of us,

and we decided we were
gonna work until it was done,

and that meant working
all through the night.

They still have

the final three stages
of the build left...

the front steering column...

24 volts
coming on board.

...the throttle...

so i can tack this on here.

...and the batteries.

This thing has to be done
a.s.a.p. If we want to survive.

Comes back to center.

Vlad is there
elbow to elbow with me,

busting his butt
to finish the bike.

So is Amy, and so is John v.,

and the professor is putting
together the batteries.

It's a team effort.

It looks awesome,

and i loved staying up
with you guys and working on it.

I enjoyed this more than
almost anything we've done.

Yeah,
everyone busted butt today.

I mean, you don't spend
the night working on something

and don't call it
busting butt.

Yeah.

The colonists press on.

The final stage,
attaching the solar panels.

One... two panels.

One of the beauties
of this trike idea

is it's using solar energy

that, at this point,
we can't use all we make.

So, the fact that we can
actually use our solar power

to not only charge
our house battery

to run this car,
as well, is great,

because otherwise
the energy goes wasted.

With the panels in place,

all they have to do
is wire them up.

Guys, i think
the electrical system is set.

I just want to
walk you through it.

Okay, this is
our step controller.

We've got
multiple contacts.

When you go here,
you're on 12 volts,

and you're going fast.

And you go to 24 volts,
faster.

And 36 is warp speed,
and I'm guessing that

you don't ever want to go
faster than that.

This is
the dead-man switch.

When you put that in there,
it's live.

If anything bad happens,
you just pull this,

however you get that
out of there,

and the whole system
is dead.

Okay?

Whoa!

Look at this thing move.

And now we're cool.
All right?

What's the best way
to do it?

If you guys lift,
i'll pull that brick out.

Go.
Okay, go.

Watch your feet.

All right.
Let's check the brakes.

Brake check.
Brake check.

I'm gonna
push you forward.

Yeah.
He has left brake.

Brakes work.

So, we're gonna push our way out? Yes.

All right, my baby.
Take care. Take care of them.

Watch yourself.

This frame... i don't think
you can push on the frame.

All right.
Let's go for a test drive.

I really don't want to run
over the railroad tracks.

Here we go.
Fire in the hole.

Whoo!
Whoo! Whoo!

Yay! Yeah!

Look at this thing go!

Whoa!

Oh, yeah!

This is sweet!

All right! Hey!

This thing hauls.

Wow.

High fives, baby!
We did it!

All right.
Rock 'n' roll.

Okay, Mike.

With the trike running,

Mike and Vlad waste no time
getting on the road.

Be safe.

Their mission...
scavenge for food, fuel,

and any other resources
they can find.

Stop.

Let's go
and check this out.

As part of the experiment,

an abandoned trailer park
has been cordoned off

and stocked
with hidden supplies.

Someone's here.
Someone lives in there.

I'm coming in.

I'm gonna go around back.

It looks like
somebody lived here.

Hello?
There's candles lit.

Somebody's still here,
definitely.

Where are you?

Mike?
Is that you?

Yeah, that's me.

Hey!

What the hell
are you doing?!

With the floodwater
finally cleaned up,

Allison and Morgan
move back into the bedroom.

Okay.

Hey, this is better
than nothing.

In the bathroom,

Joey makes another attempt
to pass the kidney stone.

I passed a kidney stone.

All i know is it was one of

the most uncomfortable
periods of my life.

What the hell
are you doing?!

All right!
Relax! Relax! Relax!

Get out! Get out!

Get out!

Chill. Chill out.

Get out!

Get out!
Chill!

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

These hostile
outsiders have been instructed

to not harm Mike and Vlad,
but they don't know that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You came in to our colony
trying to take our stuff!

These seven people,
they call themselves a colony.

It really put the shoe
on the other foot.

We were the marauders,
the invaders,

even though that wasn't
our intention.

Get out! What?!

Next gets it!

Turn the thing around,
get the out,

and go back to where
you came from, and stay there!

Do not come back here!
You are not welcome!

Just get out!

Get out of here!

The solar panels are trashed,

but the batteries
are charged enough

to get them back on the road.

If anything happens to Vlad,
i will be...

very upset.

Back. That's them.

All right.

Gonna have to
swing both.

You want both of them open,
right?

Coming in. Coming in.

Clear, clear, clear.
Coming in.

Whoa.
What happened to you guys?

Damn.
What happened to the panels?

What happened to that?

That was no drive
in the country, man.

We barely got
out of there with our butts.

If that doesn't bring home the
seriousness of our situation,

then i guess the funny bunnies
are truly just clueless.

They started smashing
the trike.

They broke all the solar panels
on the trike.

I mean,
they smashed everything.

Mike jumped on the truck.
"You"

i mean, it was just terrible.
Nobody wants to give nothing.

It looks pretty barren
out there.

There wasn't much
out there at all.

I mean,
we're talking empty.

Not a dog, not a cat,
not a nothing.

There was nothing around.

There was nothing left
in the city

except people
who really mean you harm,

and we have to go and look
for a greener pasture.

This city is done.

We got to get
the hell out of here.
