Previously on "Colony"...

Total rendition is coming.

Our glorious Hosts round up every human

they can find and take
them to the factory.


We have to go.

Another w*r's starting,
and it's not safe here.

I didn't know where else to take her.

I want to know where Kynes went.

There are two officers in my division

that you should talk to.

Go. I'll keep them busy.

There she is.

- [GRUNTS]
- Kynes is hit.

All clear. Moving out.

The rumors are true.

The att*ck has begun.

As expected, the enemy fleet

has breached our incomplete space wall.

The fight will happen
in the skies above us.

But we should anticipate

that some of our facilities on Earth

will be bombarded as well.

Will we be safe in here?

I have been assured that the
shield above Davos will hold.

And there is a secondary
shield above this bunker.

Can we bring our families
to the facility?

I would recommend that, yes.

Well, what's gonna
happen to the Colonies?

I expect that we will
lose a few of them.

We knew that this day was coming,

and we are prepared.

When our Hosts win this
w*r... and they will win...

our sacrifices will be repaid.

It will be...

humanity's greatest day.

I got Tinkerbell, ma'am.

Oh.

Don't look so glum.

for a little while.

She's staying with some friends of mine.

Okay.

You know, I am not a man

but something very, very
bad must have happened

if your mouth isn't running.

The att*ck has begun.

The big one?

Yeah.

[SIGHS] What are our orders?

We have no orders.

Apparently...

some sort of commando force hit Davos.

IGA leadership is either
dead or captured.

So what's the play?

For emergency use...

I'm supposed to call it to
receive my instructions.

Well, what the hell are you waiting for?

What if we've picked the wrong side?

It is a little late for that.

Okay, then...

Let's play the hand that we were dealt.

I should begin with some
questions for Mr. Bowman.

Can he still talk,

or have you carved his
tongue out of his mouth?

Oh, he can talk.

I'm not sure he wants to.

Oh, Will and I go back.

I'm sure he'll open up like an oyster.

Hello, Will.

How come every time we talk these days,

one of us is tied to a chair?

Who would talk to you if they
weren't tied to a chair?

Many people, actually.

It seems my star is
once again on the rise.

[SCOFFS]

Might take time,

but eventually they'll see
you for what you are.

And what are you?

You've lost your center, haven't you?

I saw it in that shitty little room

where you tried to drown me.

And I don't think it's just
about what happened to Charlie.

We all have stains on our conscience.

I keep thinking about the
people I sent to the factory

back in Los Angeles.

It's my fault they're all dead.

What do you mean they're all dead?

The factory was destroyed

in a sneak att*ck by
our Hosts' enemies...

no survivors.

The human race is in a
fight for survival.

And I need your help.

That's why you're patching me up.

I've just heard from our Hosts.

If they don't choose
to defend this Colony,

we will be annihilated from space.

Nothing will be left
but a smoking crater.

Why wouldn't they defend us?

Because we haven't been
meeting our outlier quota.

It's like a m*llitary draft.

A certain number of people like you

are supposed to be getting into pods,

but Everett Kynes has been
skimming off the top.

So that's what our Hosts told me.

Either outliers
show up at the island

by the end of the day...

or they'll turn their backs on us.

When I walked into your
kitchen in Los Angeles,

I didn't pick you to work for me

because you were a good detective.

I picked you because
you were a good man.

You took advantage of me,

and you're trying to do it again.

You're right to be skeptical.

After all, I am a known liar.

But put yourself in my shoes.

Do you really think I'd be
sitting in here with you

if I didn't have to?

I don't have the time or the resources

to round up those outliers
by the end of the day.

So I'm counting on you

to go and tell them...

either they sacrifice themselves...

or we all die.

You're letting me out of here?

Maybe I was wrong.

Maybe you are too far gone.

But this is your chance to save
