The Colony (2009–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Breaking Point - full transcript
As their resources dwindle, the Colonists work on a scout vehicle and start to customize their escape truck. Tempers flare when the traders return, and Joey reaches his breaking point.
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.
8 weeks 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
challenge the colonists'
resources and security.
So far, the colonists have
scraped by on limited supplies.
I'm sick of this warehouse.
I'm sick of the lack of food.
But with stocks running dry...
i think i've gone through every
bit of body fat that i have.
...the competition for resources
is becoming a fight
for survival.
Get out!
Now they focus all
efforts on their escape plan.
We got to get
the hell out of here.
And old foes push them
to the breaking point.
This is hell! This is the end
of the world! Fight back!
Conditions here are grim.
Bathrooms are filthy.
Clothes are in rags.
We need to get out of here.
We all stink.
It's just disgusting.
Hair is greasy and oily,
natted,
and our skin is just, like,
different colors, you know?
Like, sleeping in dirt
is just not something
i ever thought
i would have to do.
It's hard.
When I'm dreaming
and i see myself, I'm dirty.
With food storage
down to a five-day supply,
the colonists are exhausted
and withering away.
We're being tested morally
and physically and emotionally.
No matter how happy
of a family we are,
there's gonna be times
where we break.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
I cannot work today
on a cup of rice!
I cannot.
I've got beams
to lift and weld.
And putting in a 12-hour day
on a cup of rice
isn't gonna work for me.
18.
18.
18 gallons left.
Even with rationing, that was
our average for one day.
We're all conserving.
We're not drinking as much.
We're not washing anything...
clothes, hands.
We're licking our dishes clean.
So we've got to make this
stretch as long as possible.
Second to our physical security,
this is our biggest concern
right now.
With water
at critically low levels,
the colonists prepare
an expedition to the l.a. River,
using the solar-powered trike
they built last week.
If we have to,
we'll try to make two runs,
but let's get one...
one we're desperate for.
Awesome.
Don't lose the bike.
Oh
what?
The colonists' access point
to the l.a. River
is blocked off
by an encampment of marauders.
No water means you can't
cook, you can't drink, you can't wash.
Without water, we can't survive.
We got to get out of here.
No river runs.
Didn't get
no water?
No water.
What happened?
Marauders are all camped out
down there...
6, 10...
more than we can handle.
Anyone who wants water
has got to get through them.
Basically, it means
we have what we have.
We get this truck done,
ration our water.
Bottom line, that's it.
That's it.
We're screwed.
We're not screwed.
It means we get to work.
Four weeks ago,
the colonists drew up a plan
for turning an abandoned truck
into their escape vehicle.
It's got to look scary, and it's
got to be able to take somebody out.
What if we had something
protruding out,
kind of like
spears on a pole?
So far, they've gotten
the engine running...
and armored the back.
What they don't know yet
is that within the next week,
they'll receive coordinates
for their final destination.
But there's still
a great deal of work
before the truck
is ready to roll.
The biggest challenge... fuel.
The first thing we have
to put up there is "gasifier."
It's the most important part
of getting us out of here.
The gasifier is probably
our best bet
for an alternative fuel.
Before the colonists
had solar panels,
they relied on a wood gasifier
to power their generator
and charge the battery bank.
The gasifier consisted
of two barrels...
one filled with wood scraps
and one with a fire
that heated the wood,
releasing the gas.
Now the colonists
are banking on a bigger gasifier
to fuel their escape vehicle.
After a disaster,
fuel supply is a critical issue.
In the 2005 hurricane season
in the gulf coast,
it only took days before
there were shortages of fuel.
If your automobile ran
on alternative fuel sources,
such as wood gas, you'd have
a tremendous advantage.
Here's another option, kids.
I mean, we have the truck,
but we have other vehicles.
That ranchero...
i think i can get it to run.
That leaves us
a lot more room and weight
that we can put on the truck.
The ranchero gives us
secondary transportation,
mobility, power...
all sorts of options.
It's a great vehicle to have.
While Mike and John v.
Inspect the ranchero's engine,
Vlad and John c. Start work
on the new gasifier.
Here we go.
Now let's roll this one.
This piece is the spout
for the gasifier.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna clip it up here.
There we go.
The truck's gasifier will be
composed of three main parts...
first, the upper container,
consisting of a hopper,
chimney, and screen.
This will house the wood
charcoal for the wood gas.
Second, a lower container
that will hold the fire
that heats the wood
and creates the gas.
And third, a cooling system
that will lower
the gas's temperature
before funneling it
into the engine.
At the drill press,
John c. Fashions the screen
with his wife, diane.
Last week,
John was reunited with diane
after being apart eight weeks.
Having diane here
is such a blessing.
She is one of the most selfless
and grounded people
i have ever known.
We work very well together.
Shake that stuff off.
So, this is the fire grate
at the bottom of the gasifier.
What this will do
is it'll hang
at the bottom of the tube
that Vladimir and i
have just made.
And the burning charcoal
will sit in this grate,
and the vacuum
from the engine
will pull the air through
those burning embers
and take the gases
that we're trying to capture...
the gas
from the charcoal...
into the tube that goes
into the cooler,
which goes
into the engine.
John loves discussing things
and playing, often,
back and forth with ideas.
So he is in his element.
That looks great.
Nobody thinks that's funny
except me.
That looks very good.
I'm gonna do a 2-inch opening
for the gases, for the suction.
At the rate that we're going...
murphy's not around.
It looks like...
don't say it. Don't say it.
Don't say it.
If the truck is going
to run reliably on wood gas,
the engine must be
in good condition.
To test it out,
they'll use a small portion of
their precious gasoline supply.
Okay, everybody, clear out.
I'm gonna start this thing,
let it run for a little bit.
Oh, is it smoking.
That's burned oil, man.
That's no good for you.
When an engine
sits unused for a long time,
the internal components rust.
Lubricated surfaces dry out,
and the oil accumulates dirt.
In a sense, it needs
a new break-in period
to seat the piston rings
and wear the rust from all
the contacting surfaces.
The first time you run it,
you're bound to get
a little smoke.
The truck is running!
Truck's running.
It's important right now.
Just gonna let the thing run
for a little bit,
let it run
for a good 20, 30 minutes.
It'll blow all this old crap
out of it.
This truck's been sitting
for i don't know how long,
so we get all the smoke out,
get it all burned off...
all this old residue...
it should be golden.
So I'm gonna get out of here
'cause it's way too smoky.
Hey, guys, how about
we open up the gate?
I love this smoke,
'cause it means
we're getting out of here.
I love the fact that that truck
is running, and it sounds good.
As they wait
for the smoke to clear,
the colonists get
their first break in weeks.
But with the doors
to the street wide open,
the last person they want to see
reenters the colony.
Four weeks ago,
as part of the experiment,
two strangers, Andre and Liz,
entered the colony using a key,
claiming to be
the original inhabitants.
This is my house.
When events turned violent,
the colonists threw out
the interlopers.
Get the hell
out of here.
Now Andre has returned.
Bring it on!
What is it?
It's Andre.
Nuh-unh.
He's in the walkway.
You guys, you think
this place is yours?!
This place is mine,
and I'm coming back
with everything i can get
to take it from you!
You guys, you guys,
slow down.
Morgan, slow down.
Morgan.
What did he take?
Slow down, Morgan.
Clear.
Close the door!
Close the door!
Let him run out.
Close the other door!
Close that door!
He's going 'round
to the other side.
Just close that door!
Got it!
Did he go?
He's gone.
We chased him out the doors.
Is there food gone?
When i checked the food,
i noticed, after counting it,
Andre took about 16 cans
of our food.
Let's get a head count,
make sure everybody's inside.
Could everyone
count out? Morgan?
Here!
- Allison?
- I'm right behind you.
- Diane?
- Yeah!
John c?
Yeah!
John v?
I'm right here.
Vladimir?
Yeah!
Everybody's here?
Amy?
Everyone's on the inside.
Andre was threatening to
come back and take what was "his."
I've got to believe
he really means it.
So it just may be that we've
got to jump on that truck
in whatever state
of completion it is
at some point
in the next couple of days
and get out of here.
I'm just hoping
that we can get this truck done
and we can get out of here
before Andre returns.
I want Andre to open up the door
to an empty warehouse.
He can have it,
as long as we're gone.
With Andre's threat looming
and resources almost gone,
the need to leave
is more critical than ever.
I really would like
this truck to be going
and get out of here
before the storm comes,
and hopefully we will.
The Andre experience
is a wake-up call.
Maybe this puts a fire
under everybody,
not only to get the truck done,
get out of here,
reaLize that we are
in a desperate situation,
but to also
get back on security,
to get that little
fighting spirit back.
Oh, it's positive...
and negative.
After putting
a battery in the ranchero
and adding some gas,
Mike drills the lock out.
How about them apples?!
Started up just fine.
We got a running vehicle,
kids.
Less weight,
better gas mileage,
better acceleration,
better handling.
Less weight is good.
My sawzall.
This is gonna be awesome.
Come on, do it.
What do you think?
Right there?
Right there.
Open her up.
How's it feel to be
a big, dumb monkey?
Go!
Convertible.
We need to be in a parade
or something.
♪ da-da da-da-da ♪
all right.
Got one more fender to take off.
Hell, i can get
a wild hare up my butt
and tear all the fenders
and the roof
and the quarter panels off
and the doors
and spike it up a little,
make it fun.
Thinking that we can use it
for a chase vehicle.
But as the colonists
move forward on their exodus plan...
another threat approaches.
Coming up...
get the inside!
Get the inside!
You do not hit
any of us!
There are no next times
in this world!
This is hell!
Was that us?
Guys?
Hello?
The following day,
Andre's partner, Liz,
arrives at the colony.
She'll test the volunteers'
unity as supplies dwindle.
Hello?
Who are you?
Leilani.
Who are you?
It's Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Andre?
It's just me.
Everyone,
hands on deck in here!
Hi, Liz.
What's going on?
I just need a little bit
of food and water.
And what happened
to Andre?
I don't know.
Let her trade for it.
If she's got something of value
that we need...
yeah,
she's got my knife.
Did you guys
take Vlad's knife?
He gave me a knife.
He gave it to you?
In fact,
Andre and Liz stole the knife
while the colonists were
debating what to do about them.
I need you to pass up
your bottle
and tie the knife
to that.
You guys, right now,
it's Elizabeth without Andre.
She's not looking for anything
but a little bit of water,
and she's wanting to
give your knife back.
She said
you gave it to her.
She's a liar.
It just goes to show.
Do we want everybody
over here?
'Cause everybody's
kind of keeping an eye
in case Andre is
lurking around right now.
I absolutely do not trust
Elizabeth, nor Andre,
and i feel like she's probably
out there acting
while Andre's trying
to get in somewhere else.
So I'm just trying to keep
an eye out, keep it safe.
Elizabeth and Andre do not
deserve a handout from us.
You're putting us in
a really terrible spot, Liz.
After you left
and what you guys did,
the group is
completely hostile.
And as much as I'd like
to help you as much as i can,
right now we have to
take a vote.
I've got half
of the sauerkraut,
and then the water
will come
from my portion
of water drinking.
All right?
Hey, that's my choice.
That's my water choice.
My vote is no.
I say no. How many nos?
Not from somebody that stole
from me. That's my vote.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
5 against 5.
It's up to you.
I already know the decision,
so do what you need to do.
Is that it?
Liz, you're gonna
have to trust me.
I need you
to send up the knife.
Give me the knife.
I'm giving you my portion
of my water
that no one
wants to give you.
But you're gonna have to
give me something.
I need the knife.
Leilani!
I'm getting the knife.
Leilani, i need
a little bit more food.
I can't do that.
I'm already crossing the line.
They didn't want to
give you anything.
How long does it take
to do this?
I understand
her being scared
and being afraid
to let that weapon go.
Okay.
Hey,
it's my knife.
Tell her to use her fist.
That's what she used on me.
Sending her off without
a weapon... I'm not for.
I have not lost my humanity
that much.
For someone who attacked us
and disgraced us
and stole from us...
even though Liz might
not have deserved a second chance,
i felt, with her being hungry
and a woman out on the streets,
that i was still
supposed to help.
Liz, i need that knife.
It has sentimental value.
I have
another knife here.
If a knife is all that you want,
this is the knife.
Okay. Will you throw it down? No.
Leilani, it's my survival.
Please.
This is another knife. I
will swap you the knife.
You have 10 seconds.
10, 9, 8, 7...
Leilani, will you drop
the knife, please?
...6, 5...
Leilani...
...4, 3...
will you drop it?
...2... let go.
Let go.
Let go, Liz.
Thank you.
Here's water.
Here.
Get the knife.
All it was
was just self-defense.
Just self-defense?
She stole!
This knife was given to me
by my son anson as a present,
and wherever i went, i always
took this knife with me.
And then, to top it all off,
we actually reward her
for stealing the knife.
Thank you.
I'm through with this
bleeding-heart crap.
She's the last person
we should have helped.
Why don't we step away from this
and discuss it later?
Okay?
'Cause here's the other thing
that she's taking from us...
time on work.
You know what she's
taking away from us?
Our unity.
Go back to work
and not let her steal
some of our work time.
- I don't like this.
- That was his thing.
Where do you draw the line?
Who doesn't get assistance?
He voted no for what?
Hey!
Can we please get back to work?
We can discuss this
later tonight.
We got a lot of stuff to do
to get out of here.
Thank you.
Morgan, can i go outside
and put this in the oven?
Amy was
preparing bread dough
when the crew was interrupted
by Liz's visit.
With coals burning,
she doesn't want to waste it.
No. It's not even
risking it for bread.
We can't just cower in fear
just because someone comes by.
I can't see anything
down here, but...
you're okay!
Okay, thanks.
What's going on
at that door?
Amy?
Yeah?
Can you check with us
before we open that door?
What are we
going out for?
Just before i lose
all of those coals
and all the heat
that we did.
Fair enough.
Let's make sure,
before we do that,
we have maybe one other person
with a weapon.
Don't laugh at me,
Amy.
I'm not!
If you guys need to argue,
could you please do it later?
Looks clear.
But just in case,
why don't you come back inside?
All I'm doing is sticking it in
and running inside.
If i was starving,
I'd wait and then hop that wall
and take whatever's in this
garden, including that bread.
She can't really grab the bread
out of the burning-hot oven.
Sure she can,
if you're hungry enough.
Hope the bread's there
when we get out.
Everybody,
at the back door!
Everybody,
at the back door!
Hey, you guys,
Liz is in the yard!
Somebody
watch the back.
No one goes out.
Elizabeth
is stealing the bread! Ha!
Good! Good!
Good!
Let her have the bread!
What's going on?
What's happening
is holly hobbie's bake center
just got raped.
I told you to wait.
I just saw her
through that hole,
and i came out here,
and she took off.
It's gone.
Yeah? Cool.
All right, well,
that's too bad.
Yeah, it really is
ain't it?
Everybody back inside.
I'm done.
I'm almost really done.
Okay. But you still don't
need to curse at me.
You know what?
Everybody, back inside.
I will curse whenever
the i want anymore now,
'cause this is getting
you're with my safety
and my life now.
Now you're really
with my safety!
In the side!
God!
Get the inside.
Get the inside.
Don't touch me again!
You do not hit
any of us, Joey!
Get inside!
I am inside!
I said, "wait an hour!
Wait a half an hour!"
Morons.
I didn't lose anything.
I lost bread.
I didn't lose
any person.
He spent six years in prison.
It has changed who he is.
That would be obvious.
This ain't a joke, people!
It's survival!
Often, rules that make a person
who's been incarcerated
feel safe and comfortable
are gonna be very different
from rules that make others
feel safe and comfortable.
Guys, i think we all need to
have a quick conversation.
When i was locked up,
if there was a stabbing,
if there was a fight,
if there was a riot,
if there was anything
out of the ordinary
that affected security,
we all went on lockdown.
We all went into our cells,
and we normally did not get out
until the next morning.
But the fact
of what just happened,
and we just went right back to,
"let's open up the gates,
let's go ahead and just go right
back like nothing happened,"
i think
is a security issue.
Since we're talking
about security,
i find it very important
right now
to bring up the fact
that i do not feel safe
with the 10 people
i call family.
And you do no hit
another person here.
You do not push.
You do not do whatever you call.
You do not get physically
violent with anybody.
Take the word "hit" out,
but i agree with you,
if you are talking
about me.
I am talking
straight to you, Joey.
Then take
the word "hit" out.
I saw pushing.
I saw hitting.
I saw it. You saw me hit somebody?
Yes.
You're a liar.
I'm gonna say it right now.
Did you see me hit somebody?
There was more
than one person there.
Did anybody else see me
hit somebody,
including the person
that i pushed in?
You grabbed me
physically
when I'm halfway in the door,
which was totally unnecessary.
Would you call that hitting
you? You did not hit me.
Then take that word out
of that sentence right now.
Be nice.
No, no, no.
I'm done with being
nice.
That's
I'm ashamed of you
for saying the word "hit."
I'm ashamed of you
for hitting somebody!
I've never hit a woman in my
entire life. Until five minutes ago.
When somebody is pushing
somebody out of danger...
that was out of violence!
That was not out of concern!
I pulled her in
to close the gate,
'cause i didn't know
who the
was coming around that wall
at any second.
That's where I'm coming from.
Your 23-year-old
no world is
you know what, Joey?
ReaLize there are no
next times
in this world!
There are no next times
in this world!
It's time you all
reaLize this is hell!
This is the end
of the world!
Fight the back!
Joey's eyes were bulging.
He was screaming.
He was spitting.
He was so angry.
And you know what?
When he does stuff like that,
Joey's not Joey,
and we don't know who that person
is or what he is capable of.
He did the wrong thing for
the right reason in his mind.
He still ended up
grabbing her.
He wouldn't grab you
like that.
He wouldn't
grab Mike like that.
He could have said,
"Amy, come inside."
He did not need to touch me
and pull me in like that.
No, i don't know
how to deal with him.
We're only gonna have
more stress.
If you thought
this was something,
wait till we get
on the truck and go.
So if we can't
resolve this now,
how are we gonna resolve it
when we're in that cage?
Neither side was
listening to either side, okay?
It was my observation,
okay?
It sounds like
he physically manhandled you
in a way that was inappropriate,
all right?
But you don't need to
yell at him, either.
I mean, if we lost Joey,
that would be really bad.
I'm not the same person i was
when i was in the pen.
I'm not. I have become something
totally different.
And when i need to pull him
out of my pocket,
i can pull him out of my pocket.
But you know what?
Letting go of who i was
in there...
...it took a long time.
Colony life
is starting to get to Joey.
It's stressing him out.
He's flying off the handle,
even more than me.
I think he's getting stir crazy,
and i don't blame him.
He wants to get the hell
out of there.
He doesn't like the situation
here, and neither do i.
In the shop,
work continues on the gasifier,
which the colonists hope
will power their escape vehicle.
Diane and John add eye hooks
for the cables
that will hold the screen
in place.
You're wiggling it
around a lot.
Wait. Stop.
All right, keep going.
Vlad attaches the cables,
and the upper container
is complete.
We have the steel cables
that we're using for the straps.
Also, this thing freely hangs
so that the ash...
just by the natural motion
of the machine.
When the truck
is gonna be running,
the truck is gonna be
shaking this thing here,
and the ashes are going to be
falling on the bottom.
Don't forget.
This is the bottom.
Here we are.
This is nice and easy.
Wonderful.
Wow. Wow.
This is the hopper now,
where the charcoal
is going to come into.
And we're going to have
an opening of 2 inches
right here on the side,
where the gas is actually
going to be coming out of.
With an acetylene torch,
Vlad cuts a hole
in a steel flange,
which will be used as the outlet
for the gasifier.
Like this.
Next, he bolts and welds
the flange
into the gasifier's
lower chamber.
Hello?!
Oh, look who's here.
Five weeks ago,
this group of traders
bartered for food, gas,
and a generator,
testing the colonists'
resource-management
and negotiating skills.
Give them
all the damn oranges
and get
what we really need.
Now, with resources
almost gone,
they've returned
to test them again.
We'll see you at the end,
okay?
Okay.
No, we don't have
anything to trade.
Maybe they want some salt.
We have string.
You and me?
Yep. Let's go.
Here comes the truck.
How are you doing?
Everybody living?
You look great.
What you want?
This is what we have.
We have baking soda.
Correct, Leilani?
We have salt.
We have baking soda.
We have a refrigerator.
We have a microwave.
That's about it.
You have nothing.
They just sound angry.
We take food.
We don't want to
give any food away.
Well, i want!
I know.
And i want a red pony,
but I'm not gonna have one.
We've been through this.
We've been through this.
Control him!
Advise.
What do you want me to do?
Joey's failure
of communication was obvious.
He had a chip on his shoulder,
and he wasn't,
you know, thinking.
Last time i make friend
with you, but no.
And, damn it,
i had to step in, man.
The guy was gonna leave.
You want tires?
No. He wants to
get on the road.
Joey, go away.
Go away, Joey. You're
pissing him off. You got it.
I have sugar.
I have water.
Show me what you want.
The solar. It working.
Working panel.
Working panels will cost you
everything on your truck.
We want a lot of food
for the solar panels.
You can't get solar panels
anymore.
That's it.
They're the last of them.
What's in here? Okay,
so you get the two panels.
We get the beans,
another five gallons of water.
Bring panel!
Bring solar panel now!
We get water.
One big water finished.
Got to be propane. We really need
the propane. Give him propane!
Yep.
You're free.
The only thing, you know,
we gave them of value
was the solar panels,
and we're gonna miss those,
maybe,
but if we give up a few panels
to get us where we're going,
then so be it.
How much gas you want
for two tire?
10 gallons.
10 gallons?
That's too much.
Five gallons.
Five gallon of gas...
take it.
Take it,
take it, take it.
We got 20 gallons of water.
What you want?
Peanuts.
We have peanut butter.
I give peanut butter,
'cause i like somebody.
I will give you...
mwah! ...for that.
I love it.
I love it.
My wife.
My wife.
I thought i would use
my blond powers
and go out there
and see what i could get.
And we got a lot of food.
We got a lot of water.
My hair did well this time.
Goodbye.
And good luck to you.
Okay.
I'll open the gate.
Coming up,
the colonists grind on.
Bam, baby!
Here we go!
But a crash
threatens everything.
I am apologizing to Amy.
I would never want to see
anybody lay a hand
on my sister, my mom.
I should've never
laid my hands on her.
Whether it was a push
or labeled as a hit
or whatever it was labeled as,
it shouldn't have happened.
While i have you all here,
i would like to sincerely
apologize for the other day.
In the heat of the moment,
i laid a hand on you,
and i shouldn't have,
in anger.
And i know that it made you
nervous around me,
and i hope you reaLize
i would never...
ever hurt any of you.
I would only protect you.
But i do apologize
for what it caused,
and i hope you accept
my apology,
because it's sincere.
Apology accepted.
Thank you.
That's all.
I wanted to hear that. Thank you. Okay.
Of course i accept it,
because...
it seemed like it took a lot
for him to do that,
and his eyes told me
he was being sincere.
He's a good person.
There's no doubt about that.
He has honorable intentions.
I don't doubt that.
It's just
his temper freaked me out.
You know,
i am shocked and surprised
and so, like, delighted that
Joey came up and apologized.
I didn't think
he was going to.
Let's get some projects
done, people. Let's go.
Unity restored,
the colonists get back to work.
We're gonna place the gasifier
on the truck
to make sure it all fits,
real quick.
What else needs
to be carried over?
Go ahead and set it down
so i can get up there and pull.
Somebody grab.
Thank you.
Yep.
You want a dolly
up there?
Nope. Dollies are for
let's roll.
No, don't... Joey.
Okay.
Now tilt her.
Okay.
You can go ahead
and come out this way.
Beauty.
Beautiful.
Nice job.
The gasifier
is coming along just fine.
Everything has been completed
except for
the intermediate cooler
between the gasifier
and the engine.
The gasifier will hold
approximately 200 pounds
of charcoal.
So, when we make our getaway,
that will give us a distance
of about 150 miles.
Nice job.
Andre was here, so we just
got to get the hell out of here.
So, right now, I'm just trying
to do anything i can do to help,
even if it comes down
to using power tools.
Keep your hands
away from that.
Where's the on button?
Right there. It shoves forward.
Just shove it forward.
No, back and forth,
not in a circle. There you go.
There you go.
Make some sparks.
Mike and Allison
add support beams
to strengthen
the ranchero's frame.
And we're done.
So good.
It was very cool to see
that beat-up old thing
running around.
What really struck me
is that michael looked
genuinely happy...
not just happy
but delighted and relaxed.
Bam! Yeah!
For michael to be smiling,
grinning, dancing around
because the wagon was running
actually lifte. M spirits"quite.
Hey, you freaking bees!
Wake up!
Yeah, man!
Mike disturbs a
beehive inside the abandoned boat.
Oh
where's the keys?!
Where's the keys?!
Aah!
Aah!
No!
Don't close the door!
Aah!
The colonists work
into the night.
Mike and John v. Turn
their attention to the trike.
All right. That's it.
Let's give it a spin.
Oh
Allison,
get out here now!
Now, now, now, now, now!
His head, his head, his head!
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.
8 weeks 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
challenge the colonists'
resources and security.
So far, the colonists have
scraped by on limited supplies.
I'm sick of this warehouse.
I'm sick of the lack of food.
But with stocks running dry...
i think i've gone through every
bit of body fat that i have.
...the competition for resources
is becoming a fight
for survival.
Get out!
Now they focus all
efforts on their escape plan.
We got to get
the hell out of here.
And old foes push them
to the breaking point.
This is hell! This is the end
of the world! Fight back!
Conditions here are grim.
Bathrooms are filthy.
Clothes are in rags.
We need to get out of here.
We all stink.
It's just disgusting.
Hair is greasy and oily,
natted,
and our skin is just, like,
different colors, you know?
Like, sleeping in dirt
is just not something
i ever thought
i would have to do.
It's hard.
When I'm dreaming
and i see myself, I'm dirty.
With food storage
down to a five-day supply,
the colonists are exhausted
and withering away.
We're being tested morally
and physically and emotionally.
No matter how happy
of a family we are,
there's gonna be times
where we break.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
I cannot work today
on a cup of rice!
I cannot.
I've got beams
to lift and weld.
And putting in a 12-hour day
on a cup of rice
isn't gonna work for me.
18.
18.
18 gallons left.
Even with rationing, that was
our average for one day.
We're all conserving.
We're not drinking as much.
We're not washing anything...
clothes, hands.
We're licking our dishes clean.
So we've got to make this
stretch as long as possible.
Second to our physical security,
this is our biggest concern
right now.
With water
at critically low levels,
the colonists prepare
an expedition to the l.a. River,
using the solar-powered trike
they built last week.
If we have to,
we'll try to make two runs,
but let's get one...
one we're desperate for.
Awesome.
Don't lose the bike.
Oh
what?
The colonists' access point
to the l.a. River
is blocked off
by an encampment of marauders.
No water means you can't
cook, you can't drink, you can't wash.
Without water, we can't survive.
We got to get out of here.
No river runs.
Didn't get
no water?
No water.
What happened?
Marauders are all camped out
down there...
6, 10...
more than we can handle.
Anyone who wants water
has got to get through them.
Basically, it means
we have what we have.
We get this truck done,
ration our water.
Bottom line, that's it.
That's it.
We're screwed.
We're not screwed.
It means we get to work.
Four weeks ago,
the colonists drew up a plan
for turning an abandoned truck
into their escape vehicle.
It's got to look scary, and it's
got to be able to take somebody out.
What if we had something
protruding out,
kind of like
spears on a pole?
So far, they've gotten
the engine running...
and armored the back.
What they don't know yet
is that within the next week,
they'll receive coordinates
for their final destination.
But there's still
a great deal of work
before the truck
is ready to roll.
The biggest challenge... fuel.
The first thing we have
to put up there is "gasifier."
It's the most important part
of getting us out of here.
The gasifier is probably
our best bet
for an alternative fuel.
Before the colonists
had solar panels,
they relied on a wood gasifier
to power their generator
and charge the battery bank.
The gasifier consisted
of two barrels...
one filled with wood scraps
and one with a fire
that heated the wood,
releasing the gas.
Now the colonists
are banking on a bigger gasifier
to fuel their escape vehicle.
After a disaster,
fuel supply is a critical issue.
In the 2005 hurricane season
in the gulf coast,
it only took days before
there were shortages of fuel.
If your automobile ran
on alternative fuel sources,
such as wood gas, you'd have
a tremendous advantage.
Here's another option, kids.
I mean, we have the truck,
but we have other vehicles.
That ranchero...
i think i can get it to run.
That leaves us
a lot more room and weight
that we can put on the truck.
The ranchero gives us
secondary transportation,
mobility, power...
all sorts of options.
It's a great vehicle to have.
While Mike and John v.
Inspect the ranchero's engine,
Vlad and John c. Start work
on the new gasifier.
Here we go.
Now let's roll this one.
This piece is the spout
for the gasifier.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna clip it up here.
There we go.
The truck's gasifier will be
composed of three main parts...
first, the upper container,
consisting of a hopper,
chimney, and screen.
This will house the wood
charcoal for the wood gas.
Second, a lower container
that will hold the fire
that heats the wood
and creates the gas.
And third, a cooling system
that will lower
the gas's temperature
before funneling it
into the engine.
At the drill press,
John c. Fashions the screen
with his wife, diane.
Last week,
John was reunited with diane
after being apart eight weeks.
Having diane here
is such a blessing.
She is one of the most selfless
and grounded people
i have ever known.
We work very well together.
Shake that stuff off.
So, this is the fire grate
at the bottom of the gasifier.
What this will do
is it'll hang
at the bottom of the tube
that Vladimir and i
have just made.
And the burning charcoal
will sit in this grate,
and the vacuum
from the engine
will pull the air through
those burning embers
and take the gases
that we're trying to capture...
the gas
from the charcoal...
into the tube that goes
into the cooler,
which goes
into the engine.
John loves discussing things
and playing, often,
back and forth with ideas.
So he is in his element.
That looks great.
Nobody thinks that's funny
except me.
That looks very good.
I'm gonna do a 2-inch opening
for the gases, for the suction.
At the rate that we're going...
murphy's not around.
It looks like...
don't say it. Don't say it.
Don't say it.
If the truck is going
to run reliably on wood gas,
the engine must be
in good condition.
To test it out,
they'll use a small portion of
their precious gasoline supply.
Okay, everybody, clear out.
I'm gonna start this thing,
let it run for a little bit.
Oh, is it smoking.
That's burned oil, man.
That's no good for you.
When an engine
sits unused for a long time,
the internal components rust.
Lubricated surfaces dry out,
and the oil accumulates dirt.
In a sense, it needs
a new break-in period
to seat the piston rings
and wear the rust from all
the contacting surfaces.
The first time you run it,
you're bound to get
a little smoke.
The truck is running!
Truck's running.
It's important right now.
Just gonna let the thing run
for a little bit,
let it run
for a good 20, 30 minutes.
It'll blow all this old crap
out of it.
This truck's been sitting
for i don't know how long,
so we get all the smoke out,
get it all burned off...
all this old residue...
it should be golden.
So I'm gonna get out of here
'cause it's way too smoky.
Hey, guys, how about
we open up the gate?
I love this smoke,
'cause it means
we're getting out of here.
I love the fact that that truck
is running, and it sounds good.
As they wait
for the smoke to clear,
the colonists get
their first break in weeks.
But with the doors
to the street wide open,
the last person they want to see
reenters the colony.
Four weeks ago,
as part of the experiment,
two strangers, Andre and Liz,
entered the colony using a key,
claiming to be
the original inhabitants.
This is my house.
When events turned violent,
the colonists threw out
the interlopers.
Get the hell
out of here.
Now Andre has returned.
Bring it on!
What is it?
It's Andre.
Nuh-unh.
He's in the walkway.
You guys, you think
this place is yours?!
This place is mine,
and I'm coming back
with everything i can get
to take it from you!
You guys, you guys,
slow down.
Morgan, slow down.
Morgan.
What did he take?
Slow down, Morgan.
Clear.
Close the door!
Close the door!
Let him run out.
Close the other door!
Close that door!
He's going 'round
to the other side.
Just close that door!
Got it!
Did he go?
He's gone.
We chased him out the doors.
Is there food gone?
When i checked the food,
i noticed, after counting it,
Andre took about 16 cans
of our food.
Let's get a head count,
make sure everybody's inside.
Could everyone
count out? Morgan?
Here!
- Allison?
- I'm right behind you.
- Diane?
- Yeah!
John c?
Yeah!
John v?
I'm right here.
Vladimir?
Yeah!
Everybody's here?
Amy?
Everyone's on the inside.
Andre was threatening to
come back and take what was "his."
I've got to believe
he really means it.
So it just may be that we've
got to jump on that truck
in whatever state
of completion it is
at some point
in the next couple of days
and get out of here.
I'm just hoping
that we can get this truck done
and we can get out of here
before Andre returns.
I want Andre to open up the door
to an empty warehouse.
He can have it,
as long as we're gone.
With Andre's threat looming
and resources almost gone,
the need to leave
is more critical than ever.
I really would like
this truck to be going
and get out of here
before the storm comes,
and hopefully we will.
The Andre experience
is a wake-up call.
Maybe this puts a fire
under everybody,
not only to get the truck done,
get out of here,
reaLize that we are
in a desperate situation,
but to also
get back on security,
to get that little
fighting spirit back.
Oh, it's positive...
and negative.
After putting
a battery in the ranchero
and adding some gas,
Mike drills the lock out.
How about them apples?!
Started up just fine.
We got a running vehicle,
kids.
Less weight,
better gas mileage,
better acceleration,
better handling.
Less weight is good.
My sawzall.
This is gonna be awesome.
Come on, do it.
What do you think?
Right there?
Right there.
Open her up.
How's it feel to be
a big, dumb monkey?
Go!
Convertible.
We need to be in a parade
or something.
♪ da-da da-da-da ♪
all right.
Got one more fender to take off.
Hell, i can get
a wild hare up my butt
and tear all the fenders
and the roof
and the quarter panels off
and the doors
and spike it up a little,
make it fun.
Thinking that we can use it
for a chase vehicle.
But as the colonists
move forward on their exodus plan...
another threat approaches.
Coming up...
get the inside!
Get the inside!
You do not hit
any of us!
There are no next times
in this world!
This is hell!
Was that us?
Guys?
Hello?
The following day,
Andre's partner, Liz,
arrives at the colony.
She'll test the volunteers'
unity as supplies dwindle.
Hello?
Who are you?
Leilani.
Who are you?
It's Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Andre?
It's just me.
Everyone,
hands on deck in here!
Hi, Liz.
What's going on?
I just need a little bit
of food and water.
And what happened
to Andre?
I don't know.
Let her trade for it.
If she's got something of value
that we need...
yeah,
she's got my knife.
Did you guys
take Vlad's knife?
He gave me a knife.
He gave it to you?
In fact,
Andre and Liz stole the knife
while the colonists were
debating what to do about them.
I need you to pass up
your bottle
and tie the knife
to that.
You guys, right now,
it's Elizabeth without Andre.
She's not looking for anything
but a little bit of water,
and she's wanting to
give your knife back.
She said
you gave it to her.
She's a liar.
It just goes to show.
Do we want everybody
over here?
'Cause everybody's
kind of keeping an eye
in case Andre is
lurking around right now.
I absolutely do not trust
Elizabeth, nor Andre,
and i feel like she's probably
out there acting
while Andre's trying
to get in somewhere else.
So I'm just trying to keep
an eye out, keep it safe.
Elizabeth and Andre do not
deserve a handout from us.
You're putting us in
a really terrible spot, Liz.
After you left
and what you guys did,
the group is
completely hostile.
And as much as I'd like
to help you as much as i can,
right now we have to
take a vote.
I've got half
of the sauerkraut,
and then the water
will come
from my portion
of water drinking.
All right?
Hey, that's my choice.
That's my water choice.
My vote is no.
I say no. How many nos?
Not from somebody that stole
from me. That's my vote.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
5 against 5.
It's up to you.
I already know the decision,
so do what you need to do.
Is that it?
Liz, you're gonna
have to trust me.
I need you
to send up the knife.
Give me the knife.
I'm giving you my portion
of my water
that no one
wants to give you.
But you're gonna have to
give me something.
I need the knife.
Leilani!
I'm getting the knife.
Leilani, i need
a little bit more food.
I can't do that.
I'm already crossing the line.
They didn't want to
give you anything.
How long does it take
to do this?
I understand
her being scared
and being afraid
to let that weapon go.
Okay.
Hey,
it's my knife.
Tell her to use her fist.
That's what she used on me.
Sending her off without
a weapon... I'm not for.
I have not lost my humanity
that much.
For someone who attacked us
and disgraced us
and stole from us...
even though Liz might
not have deserved a second chance,
i felt, with her being hungry
and a woman out on the streets,
that i was still
supposed to help.
Liz, i need that knife.
It has sentimental value.
I have
another knife here.
If a knife is all that you want,
this is the knife.
Okay. Will you throw it down? No.
Leilani, it's my survival.
Please.
This is another knife. I
will swap you the knife.
You have 10 seconds.
10, 9, 8, 7...
Leilani, will you drop
the knife, please?
...6, 5...
Leilani...
...4, 3...
will you drop it?
...2... let go.
Let go.
Let go, Liz.
Thank you.
Here's water.
Here.
Get the knife.
All it was
was just self-defense.
Just self-defense?
She stole!
This knife was given to me
by my son anson as a present,
and wherever i went, i always
took this knife with me.
And then, to top it all off,
we actually reward her
for stealing the knife.
Thank you.
I'm through with this
bleeding-heart crap.
She's the last person
we should have helped.
Why don't we step away from this
and discuss it later?
Okay?
'Cause here's the other thing
that she's taking from us...
time on work.
You know what she's
taking away from us?
Our unity.
Go back to work
and not let her steal
some of our work time.
- I don't like this.
- That was his thing.
Where do you draw the line?
Who doesn't get assistance?
He voted no for what?
Hey!
Can we please get back to work?
We can discuss this
later tonight.
We got a lot of stuff to do
to get out of here.
Thank you.
Morgan, can i go outside
and put this in the oven?
Amy was
preparing bread dough
when the crew was interrupted
by Liz's visit.
With coals burning,
she doesn't want to waste it.
No. It's not even
risking it for bread.
We can't just cower in fear
just because someone comes by.
I can't see anything
down here, but...
you're okay!
Okay, thanks.
What's going on
at that door?
Amy?
Yeah?
Can you check with us
before we open that door?
What are we
going out for?
Just before i lose
all of those coals
and all the heat
that we did.
Fair enough.
Let's make sure,
before we do that,
we have maybe one other person
with a weapon.
Don't laugh at me,
Amy.
I'm not!
If you guys need to argue,
could you please do it later?
Looks clear.
But just in case,
why don't you come back inside?
All I'm doing is sticking it in
and running inside.
If i was starving,
I'd wait and then hop that wall
and take whatever's in this
garden, including that bread.
She can't really grab the bread
out of the burning-hot oven.
Sure she can,
if you're hungry enough.
Hope the bread's there
when we get out.
Everybody,
at the back door!
Everybody,
at the back door!
Hey, you guys,
Liz is in the yard!
Somebody
watch the back.
No one goes out.
Elizabeth
is stealing the bread! Ha!
Good! Good!
Good!
Let her have the bread!
What's going on?
What's happening
is holly hobbie's bake center
just got raped.
I told you to wait.
I just saw her
through that hole,
and i came out here,
and she took off.
It's gone.
Yeah? Cool.
All right, well,
that's too bad.
Yeah, it really is
ain't it?
Everybody back inside.
I'm done.
I'm almost really done.
Okay. But you still don't
need to curse at me.
You know what?
Everybody, back inside.
I will curse whenever
the i want anymore now,
'cause this is getting
you're with my safety
and my life now.
Now you're really
with my safety!
In the side!
God!
Get the inside.
Get the inside.
Don't touch me again!
You do not hit
any of us, Joey!
Get inside!
I am inside!
I said, "wait an hour!
Wait a half an hour!"
Morons.
I didn't lose anything.
I lost bread.
I didn't lose
any person.
He spent six years in prison.
It has changed who he is.
That would be obvious.
This ain't a joke, people!
It's survival!
Often, rules that make a person
who's been incarcerated
feel safe and comfortable
are gonna be very different
from rules that make others
feel safe and comfortable.
Guys, i think we all need to
have a quick conversation.
When i was locked up,
if there was a stabbing,
if there was a fight,
if there was a riot,
if there was anything
out of the ordinary
that affected security,
we all went on lockdown.
We all went into our cells,
and we normally did not get out
until the next morning.
But the fact
of what just happened,
and we just went right back to,
"let's open up the gates,
let's go ahead and just go right
back like nothing happened,"
i think
is a security issue.
Since we're talking
about security,
i find it very important
right now
to bring up the fact
that i do not feel safe
with the 10 people
i call family.
And you do no hit
another person here.
You do not push.
You do not do whatever you call.
You do not get physically
violent with anybody.
Take the word "hit" out,
but i agree with you,
if you are talking
about me.
I am talking
straight to you, Joey.
Then take
the word "hit" out.
I saw pushing.
I saw hitting.
I saw it. You saw me hit somebody?
Yes.
You're a liar.
I'm gonna say it right now.
Did you see me hit somebody?
There was more
than one person there.
Did anybody else see me
hit somebody,
including the person
that i pushed in?
You grabbed me
physically
when I'm halfway in the door,
which was totally unnecessary.
Would you call that hitting
you? You did not hit me.
Then take that word out
of that sentence right now.
Be nice.
No, no, no.
I'm done with being
nice.
That's
I'm ashamed of you
for saying the word "hit."
I'm ashamed of you
for hitting somebody!
I've never hit a woman in my
entire life. Until five minutes ago.
When somebody is pushing
somebody out of danger...
that was out of violence!
That was not out of concern!
I pulled her in
to close the gate,
'cause i didn't know
who the
was coming around that wall
at any second.
That's where I'm coming from.
Your 23-year-old
no world is
you know what, Joey?
ReaLize there are no
next times
in this world!
There are no next times
in this world!
It's time you all
reaLize this is hell!
This is the end
of the world!
Fight the back!
Joey's eyes were bulging.
He was screaming.
He was spitting.
He was so angry.
And you know what?
When he does stuff like that,
Joey's not Joey,
and we don't know who that person
is or what he is capable of.
He did the wrong thing for
the right reason in his mind.
He still ended up
grabbing her.
He wouldn't grab you
like that.
He wouldn't
grab Mike like that.
He could have said,
"Amy, come inside."
He did not need to touch me
and pull me in like that.
No, i don't know
how to deal with him.
We're only gonna have
more stress.
If you thought
this was something,
wait till we get
on the truck and go.
So if we can't
resolve this now,
how are we gonna resolve it
when we're in that cage?
Neither side was
listening to either side, okay?
It was my observation,
okay?
It sounds like
he physically manhandled you
in a way that was inappropriate,
all right?
But you don't need to
yell at him, either.
I mean, if we lost Joey,
that would be really bad.
I'm not the same person i was
when i was in the pen.
I'm not. I have become something
totally different.
And when i need to pull him
out of my pocket,
i can pull him out of my pocket.
But you know what?
Letting go of who i was
in there...
...it took a long time.
Colony life
is starting to get to Joey.
It's stressing him out.
He's flying off the handle,
even more than me.
I think he's getting stir crazy,
and i don't blame him.
He wants to get the hell
out of there.
He doesn't like the situation
here, and neither do i.
In the shop,
work continues on the gasifier,
which the colonists hope
will power their escape vehicle.
Diane and John add eye hooks
for the cables
that will hold the screen
in place.
You're wiggling it
around a lot.
Wait. Stop.
All right, keep going.
Vlad attaches the cables,
and the upper container
is complete.
We have the steel cables
that we're using for the straps.
Also, this thing freely hangs
so that the ash...
just by the natural motion
of the machine.
When the truck
is gonna be running,
the truck is gonna be
shaking this thing here,
and the ashes are going to be
falling on the bottom.
Don't forget.
This is the bottom.
Here we are.
This is nice and easy.
Wonderful.
Wow. Wow.
This is the hopper now,
where the charcoal
is going to come into.
And we're going to have
an opening of 2 inches
right here on the side,
where the gas is actually
going to be coming out of.
With an acetylene torch,
Vlad cuts a hole
in a steel flange,
which will be used as the outlet
for the gasifier.
Like this.
Next, he bolts and welds
the flange
into the gasifier's
lower chamber.
Hello?!
Oh, look who's here.
Five weeks ago,
this group of traders
bartered for food, gas,
and a generator,
testing the colonists'
resource-management
and negotiating skills.
Give them
all the damn oranges
and get
what we really need.
Now, with resources
almost gone,
they've returned
to test them again.
We'll see you at the end,
okay?
Okay.
No, we don't have
anything to trade.
Maybe they want some salt.
We have string.
You and me?
Yep. Let's go.
Here comes the truck.
How are you doing?
Everybody living?
You look great.
What you want?
This is what we have.
We have baking soda.
Correct, Leilani?
We have salt.
We have baking soda.
We have a refrigerator.
We have a microwave.
That's about it.
You have nothing.
They just sound angry.
We take food.
We don't want to
give any food away.
Well, i want!
I know.
And i want a red pony,
but I'm not gonna have one.
We've been through this.
We've been through this.
Control him!
Advise.
What do you want me to do?
Joey's failure
of communication was obvious.
He had a chip on his shoulder,
and he wasn't,
you know, thinking.
Last time i make friend
with you, but no.
And, damn it,
i had to step in, man.
The guy was gonna leave.
You want tires?
No. He wants to
get on the road.
Joey, go away.
Go away, Joey. You're
pissing him off. You got it.
I have sugar.
I have water.
Show me what you want.
The solar. It working.
Working panel.
Working panels will cost you
everything on your truck.
We want a lot of food
for the solar panels.
You can't get solar panels
anymore.
That's it.
They're the last of them.
What's in here? Okay,
so you get the two panels.
We get the beans,
another five gallons of water.
Bring panel!
Bring solar panel now!
We get water.
One big water finished.
Got to be propane. We really need
the propane. Give him propane!
Yep.
You're free.
The only thing, you know,
we gave them of value
was the solar panels,
and we're gonna miss those,
maybe,
but if we give up a few panels
to get us where we're going,
then so be it.
How much gas you want
for two tire?
10 gallons.
10 gallons?
That's too much.
Five gallons.
Five gallon of gas...
take it.
Take it,
take it, take it.
We got 20 gallons of water.
What you want?
Peanuts.
We have peanut butter.
I give peanut butter,
'cause i like somebody.
I will give you...
mwah! ...for that.
I love it.
I love it.
My wife.
My wife.
I thought i would use
my blond powers
and go out there
and see what i could get.
And we got a lot of food.
We got a lot of water.
My hair did well this time.
Goodbye.
And good luck to you.
Okay.
I'll open the gate.
Coming up,
the colonists grind on.
Bam, baby!
Here we go!
But a crash
threatens everything.
I am apologizing to Amy.
I would never want to see
anybody lay a hand
on my sister, my mom.
I should've never
laid my hands on her.
Whether it was a push
or labeled as a hit
or whatever it was labeled as,
it shouldn't have happened.
While i have you all here,
i would like to sincerely
apologize for the other day.
In the heat of the moment,
i laid a hand on you,
and i shouldn't have,
in anger.
And i know that it made you
nervous around me,
and i hope you reaLize
i would never...
ever hurt any of you.
I would only protect you.
But i do apologize
for what it caused,
and i hope you accept
my apology,
because it's sincere.
Apology accepted.
Thank you.
That's all.
I wanted to hear that. Thank you. Okay.
Of course i accept it,
because...
it seemed like it took a lot
for him to do that,
and his eyes told me
he was being sincere.
He's a good person.
There's no doubt about that.
He has honorable intentions.
I don't doubt that.
It's just
his temper freaked me out.
You know,
i am shocked and surprised
and so, like, delighted that
Joey came up and apologized.
I didn't think
he was going to.
Let's get some projects
done, people. Let's go.
Unity restored,
the colonists get back to work.
We're gonna place the gasifier
on the truck
to make sure it all fits,
real quick.
What else needs
to be carried over?
Go ahead and set it down
so i can get up there and pull.
Somebody grab.
Thank you.
Yep.
You want a dolly
up there?
Nope. Dollies are for
let's roll.
No, don't... Joey.
Okay.
Now tilt her.
Okay.
You can go ahead
and come out this way.
Beauty.
Beautiful.
Nice job.
The gasifier
is coming along just fine.
Everything has been completed
except for
the intermediate cooler
between the gasifier
and the engine.
The gasifier will hold
approximately 200 pounds
of charcoal.
So, when we make our getaway,
that will give us a distance
of about 150 miles.
Nice job.
Andre was here, so we just
got to get the hell out of here.
So, right now, I'm just trying
to do anything i can do to help,
even if it comes down
to using power tools.
Keep your hands
away from that.
Where's the on button?
Right there. It shoves forward.
Just shove it forward.
No, back and forth,
not in a circle. There you go.
There you go.
Make some sparks.
Mike and Allison
add support beams
to strengthen
the ranchero's frame.
And we're done.
So good.
It was very cool to see
that beat-up old thing
running around.
What really struck me
is that michael looked
genuinely happy...
not just happy
but delighted and relaxed.
Bam! Yeah!
For michael to be smiling,
grinning, dancing around
because the wagon was running
actually lifte. M spirits"quite.
Hey, you freaking bees!
Wake up!
Yeah, man!
Mike disturbs a
beehive inside the abandoned boat.
Oh
where's the keys?!
Where's the keys?!
Aah!
Aah!
No!
Don't close the door!
Aah!
The colonists work
into the night.
Mike and John v. Turn
their attention to the trike.
All right. That's it.
Let's give it a spin.
Oh
Allison,
get out here now!
Now, now, now, now, now!
His head, his head, his head!
