Previously on Colony...
[Bram] What is that?
[retches]
[Chancellor Rohner]
Do you have a solution?
A protocol for building a
model colony here in Seattle.
No transitional authority
or IGA presence at all.
We are here tonight
to welcome
our new local
community patrol captain,
-Roger Erikson.
-Thank you, Laura.
It is an honor
to serve all of you,
and ensure your safety.
Did they tell you
what bus you're in?
They said D.
I know I should let it go,
but I felt connected to them.
And I wanna know
that they landed safely.
Of course they did.
In one of
the public housing blocs.
[tense music]
What's that?
I found a crashed crate
in the woods.
I think they're dropping
those from planes.

-Off duty.
Is that any way
to greet an old friend?
You're a hard man to find,
Mr. Dalton.

I thought I had balls
walking into this colony.
But you...
Didn't exactly come
in through the main gate.
How'd you get inside?
A friend left
the door unlocked.
You don't have a phone?
I'm completely off the grid.
You said you had something?
What's your read
on this place?
Better than what's outside,
that's for sure.
It's just the LA Colony
in a shinier package.
I found some eyes-only
IGA documents in LA.
Seattle's a critical asset.
They're working on
something big here,
some kind
of bio-weapon.
-To use against us?
-Don't know.
But I've been
surveilling a target
inside the Seattle Initiative.
I'm ready to approach him.
Thought you might
wanna help with that.
Have you spoken to Katie?
I was guessing
from her new job
that she might
not be receptive.
You got a plan?
Yeah.
Meet my partner.
-Then we get to work.
-[exhales]
[woman over PA]
Attention. Please proceed
to bus loading zone.
And do you have any family
members living in Seattle?
Our nephew was attending
Washington when it happened.
But, uh...
[pen gliding]
Ms. Dalton.
Ms. Dalton?
Thank you.
That concludes
the first part of the exam.
[indistinct chatter]
-Got a minute?
-Hey, what's up?
I went to see the Winslows.
And they weren't
at that apartment.
You went to the apartment?
What happened to them?
I don't know.
Maybe they weren't home.
No.
No one was there.
The whole building was empty.
Why would you do that?
Why would you go there?
Well, because I fought
for months to get the Winslows
placed, and I wanted
to make sure they were okay.
What-- what's going on?
Where are we sending people?
There was a day not long ago
when it was you
on the other side of that desk,
just hoping for
a second chance.
You would have done
anything to be here.
To have a home, a job, a place
for your kids to go to school.
And I'm grateful
for all of that.
Then do your job.
You have a lot of open cases.
You should start clearing them.
Would you like
another cup of tea,
Mr. Snyder?
I've had more tea
than the Queen.
How much longer
is it going to be?
I'm sure it will
just be another second.
[device beeps]
He's ready for you now.
[keyboard clacking]
Alan Snyder.
[chuckles]
Global Authority war hero.
I, uh--
this is a privilege.
The privilege is all mine,
Mr. Kynes.
I came to study
at the feet of the master.
You're looking
for a second career
in information
technology?
I'm afraid my current
responsibilities occupy
too much of my bandwidth
already.
I'm sure.
[chuckles]
You're an attaché now.
Or-- or is it, uh, liaison?
I'm a man
in need of guidance.
It's no secret that the IGA
is keen to replicate
the success that
you've had in Seattle.
As we speak,
Colonies all over the world
are following
your lead.
I've been personally
overseeing the implementation
of your protocol in Los Angeles
for the last six months.
With little success,
I'm hearing.
Los Angeles has been going
through some growing pains.
But that's to be expected
when building out a franchise,
isn't it?
Mm.
What can I do for you?
Since there is no IGA
presence in your bloc,
it's impossible to assess
exactly how you implemented
your protocol here.
As you know, there's a large
difference between theory
and practice.
-You haven't read my memos?
-I have.
Scrupulously.
But I'm more of
a visual learner.
Oh, you came
for the grand tour.
I just want the other
Colonies to be
as successful as Seattle.
You know what they say,
A rising tide lifts
all the boats.
I'm not much of a seaman,
but don't they also say you
shouldn't build a new boat
with old wood?
I've made
my share of mistakes.
But I try to learn from them.
That's an admirable trait.
Hey.
We're on the same side.
I would love to take you
behind the curtain.
Personally.
Amy Leonard.
Will Bowman.
Ah, the famous friend
from Los Angeles.
I've heard a lot about you.
Who is she?
Amy was with a cell
in San Fernando.
Helped me smuggle survivors
out of the LA bloc
after the Rendition.
She's also the one
who found the workaround
to get me into Seattle.
Nice place.
You must be useful to them.
I'm a doctor.
Once they found that out,
they didn't ask
a lot of follow-up questions.
Good story.
She's fully vetted.
We have solid intel.
And a target of opportunity.
You wanna hear about it?
I'm listening.
We've identified
a couple of black sites
and an asset who has access.
We think he's
some kind of courier,
moving classified materials
from site to site.
He travels in an unmarked SUV,
keeps odd hours.
But I can't pin down his

Hi, everyone.
I just wanted to thank you
for all your hard work.
Michelle, isn't it?
Yes, sir.
It's good to see you.
How's the family?
Everyone's doing great.
I'm glad to hear that.
Well, what do you think, Alan?
So, this is where it starts.
You're bringing in hundreds
every week?
Eh, thousands recently.
We've seen to it that everyone
west of the Rockies
knows about our Colony.
Los Angeles
is offering the housing,
the medical care.
You're not seeing
our numbers.
What are we missing?
The invasion brought
a lot of hardship and misery
to a lot of people.
That along with poor conditions
in-- in poorly-run Colonies.
[chuckles]
The intake is always
slow at first.
But hope travels fast.
We promise the refugees
what they need and we deliver.
People come here
because this is an oasis.
So the big secret
is positive press.
Positive enough that people
overlook the fine print.
[chuckles]
We've remade Seattle
into the proverbial
-"Shining City on the Hill."
-[scoffs]
This is now what the other
Colonies should've been.
But your presence here shows me
that at least the IGA
is finally listening.
How are you feeding
all of these people?
Even with a fraction
of your intake,
Los Angeles
is having ration issues.
I'm glad you asked.
That's our next stop.
[door closes]
How'd it go?
Productive.
We have enough
of the courier's routine
to start
planning the op.
How was Will?
Will's Will.
Something on your mind?
Look, I don't know the guy,
but... I know the look.
I've seen it in every
hospital I've worked in.
Something bad happened
to your friend.
He's not handling it well.
Seems fine to me.
Are you sure you wanna
bring him in on this?
Will's a good operator.
He knows what he's doing.
All right.
When our tango makes
his last stop for the day,
you and Will will be
waiting in the cab here.
You'll tail him to the alley.
I'll disable the vehicle,
then you'll use the cab
to make sure
they can't reverse out.
Will's gonna grab the target
while I handle the driver.
You just need to get behind
the wheel of the cab
and be ready to bug out.
Whole thing should
take 30, 40 seconds.
Sounds easy.
[overlapping chatter]
You've been a cop before?
Or like, ROTC or something?
Mm-mm,
just wanted a change of scene.
My friend told me
the benefits are good.
I just hope the physical
requirements aren't too tough.
Everyone, take
your seats, please.
Thank you.
I'm Captain Roger Erikson.
Team Leader for
the Pioneer Square unit
of the Seattle
Community Patrol.
I'd like to start by thanking
you all for your choice
to serve our city.
Now, here in Seattle
we do things
a little bit differently.
We are peacekeepers.
We are ambassadors.
Being a part of the patrol
is not about
policing your community,
it's about
protecting your community.
Any questions before we start?
Sir.
Who assigns patrol shifts?
Patrol schedules are
issued monthly.
Any request to change your
schedule needs to be cleared
by a supervising officer.
Great, let's begin.
You can open your
start pack to page one.
Follow along.
[Gracie] One.
-[fence rattles]
-Oh.
-[groans softly]
-You suck at soccer.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
Do you think
I'm gonna make the team?
I don't know.
How good are the other kids?
You're just
supposed to say yes.
Sorry.
How'd you feel about
maybe playing
for North Shore instead?
Well...
I'd have to be going
to school up there.
Uh-huh.
I don't wanna switch schools.
I started making friends.
Well, North Shore has
all kinds of cool programs.
Advanced science, math,
computer tech.
Look, you're really smart.
And Seattle's a place where
either you get on the right
track or you get left behind.
I don't want you to end up
delivering groceries.
Can I still live at home?
Maybe.
Or I may get
an apartment up there.
With your girlfriend?
[scoffs]
What girlfriend?
I don't think
we can live together.
Her father's pretty old school.
He'd probably murder me.
What's her name?
Meadow.
What do you like about her?
She's...
normal.
Normal?
I mean,
she's other things too.
She's smart like you.
Super funny.
The best part about
being around her is
it's easy to pretend all
the bad stuff never happened.
She's just kind of normal.
