The Colony Page #3

Mason's pushing for the te.

Mason knows that's

against protocol.

That's why I left Kai in charge.

Yeah, he's not too happy about that.

I know. There's gonna be some

changes made when I get back.

Cooper, you have my authority

to use force if necessary.

Mason is not to take them for

a walk without my consent.

I understand. You guys

be safe out there, okay?

Over and out.

Over and out.

Give you some time alone with that, or...

Maybe I do.

You know, Sam, we're not too

far from where I found you.

Yeah.

What were you doin' out here?

It was a long time ago.

Go on, tell him.

We got all night.

Uh...

My family, um, we were holed up

about 40 Miles north of here,

in a mine.

Uh, just us and some mining

families, a couple old-timers.

We got supplies in there, shoveled

the entrance out every day.

Eventually, the supplies ran out.

Food ran out.

So, after we ate the horses and the dogs,

my Dad and the other men went into

the city to go get some help,

but they never came back, so...

And people started dying.

And the way things were going, I

needed to get them out of there,

my mother and my sister.

I figured we had a better chance out there.

Anyway, uh, the storm came up

and we got separated, and

I never saw them again.

I'd be dead too if Briggs hadn't found me.

You were a boy, Sam.

You did the best you could.

Yeah.

Hey, what is this?

You guys, that's blood!

We shouldn't be going in there!

We came here to help.

That's what we're gonna do.

You smell that?

Smoke.

You know, maybe one of us

should just stay topside, huh?

We stick together.

You're coming.

Right.

Sh*t.

How many were

there at last count?

Fifty.

Not so much of a welcoming

committee this time.

What the f*** happened here?

Hey.

You remember how to use this?

Yeah.

You sure?

Let's move, okay?

This way.

They're all dead.

We don't know that for sure.

What the f*** was that?

Someone's alive.

It's coming from over here.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

In here.

This door has taken a lot of punishment.

Sh*t.

Hey, come on. Let's get the

hell out of here, huh?

Hey, find a spine, boy.

You got it?

What, is he dead?

Calm down!

Calm down! Calm down!

Don't! Don't!

Easy. Easy.

Please don't.

We're here to help.

Please.

Don't, don't.

It's okay.

Calm down.

Are you hurt?

Are they gone?

Who?

The door!

Lock the door.

Get the door!

He needs water.

No, easy. Go easy.

Easy, easy.

What's your name?

Leland.

Leland.

Have you got any food?

I'm so hungry.

Yeah. I've got

something here.

How long have you been locked in here?

I don't know. Days.

Is there anyone else?

Is anyone else alive?

Define alive.

That's good.

We're from colony seven.
