The Colony (2013)

No!
Come on!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Let us in!
Let us in!
Get up.
Give me another day.
One more day.
One more day isn't going
to make any difference.
Please! Just give me some more meds!
You had your meds, Hal.
You're getting worse.
Put me back in quarantine.
Just till tomorrow.
I'll get better.
You're not gonna get better, Hal.
I'll take the walk.
It's my choice.
Not today.
You can't do this.
It's my choice!
It's my job.
Make your peace.
Mason!
He tested positive, Sam.
He has a choice.
Let him walk.
He'll just come back.
They always do.
We can't let him infect
the rest of the colony.
Mason.
This isn't right.
This is survival!
It's nothing personal.
His time was up.
That's all, Sam.
In this place, we live
in fear of the common cold.
The last flu wiped out 20
people in less than a week.
So, now we've got rules.
You get sick, you go into quarantine.
If you don't get better,
you've got a choice.
A bullet or a long walk in the snow.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
After the snow started, the lucky
ones found places like this.
A place where life could
exist underneath the ice.
When I got here, we were hundreds
living on top of each other.
Everyone just thankful they'd
made it out of the cities alive.
When the food ran out, most of
the people in the world died,
but not the people in this place
where seeds were stored underground,
kept safe for a better day.
Some people, they talk about a place,
a paradise with Blue skis and
birds as far as you can see.
Those are just stories.
Everybody knows that.
So, we hold on. Hibernating,
like the last dark age.
But it's not the cold
we need to worry about.
It's each other.
Briggs.
What's up, Sam?
I need to talk to you. Look, don't start.
Hal knew the rules.
His blood test was positive and
he wasn't getting any better.
We don't have the meds to keep
fighting this flu anymore.
And we can't risk another outbreak.
But why do we leave it to the one
guy who loves to pull the trigger?
Look, this colony started
with over 400 people.
And I have done too much surface time
with a shotgun in one hand
and a shovel in the other.
I've had my fill of blood in the snow.
You understand?
Now, Mason is just doing
what has to be done.
Yeah, but he's not doing it right.
He didn't give him a choice.
Hal wanted to walk, not take a bullet.
Well, right now, we have a bigger issue.
Calling colony five, this
is colony seven. Over.
Colony five, this is colony seven.
Come on, guys. Over.
What's up? Sos loop from colony five.
Sos?
Sos.
You sure it's five?
It's got to be.
It's their code.
Marcus always checks in.
When was the last time you
had contact with him?
About seven days.
They said they were gonna
be down for radio repairs.
And they've been dead air
until about an hour ago.
Okay.
General meeting in the
main Hall in 30 minutes.
Okay. For who?
For everyone.
I want you to go see Viktor, Sam.
He's having a problem with the livestock.
Right.
All colonists report to the
main Hall in 30 minutes.
I repeat. All colonists please report
to the main Hall in 30 minutes.
Thank you.
You gonna try and save these rabbits, too?
Another stillborn litter.
Hmm. They need
protein, just like us.
How many are left?
Twelve in all.
But this here
is the only female.
You know you're screwed
when even the rabbits won't fuck.
Let me see what
I can get from Kai.
Mason.
What's going on?
What are you talking about?
What happened up there with Hal?
Sam come running to you?
What gives you the right to
take away the man's choice?
His choice was made when
he tested positive.
That is not how we do things.
We give people a choice.
It's theirs to make
regardless of the outcome.
Till they come back.
Till the food runs out.
It's not a problem until it's a problem.
You gave me this job to do.
Now let me do it.
Mason.
You know...
You'd think for someone you served with,
you'd give them a little more respect.
Almost had you.
No, you didn't.
What do you need?
Soy pellets.
The rabbits aren't doing so hot.
Where's this?
Uh, somewhere in Spain, I think.
You never give up, do you?
No.
No one thought Briggs could fix that
link to that old satellite, but he did.
So?
So, all that weather
modification tech is out there.
It's just buried under the ice.
Well, that's where it should stay.
Buried.
Sam, somewhere, someone
is working on a fix.
And when there's a thaw, I'm gonna find it.
Take me with you?
There's not a lot of choice down here.
You'll have to do.
Hal's gone.
Well, we live and die by our rules, Sam.
We should get to the meeting.
Breathe slowly.
You can't cough. Okay?
Hey, I fixed that crack
in the north vent for ya.
Thanks, Sam.
That's great.
Dex?
You all right?
Yeah. I'm good.
You're not looking so hot.
No, no. It's good.
I'm fine.
Maybe you should go back to your room, huh?
All right.
Listen up.
A few hours ago, we received a
distress signal from colony five.
They haven't
responded to any radio calls.
Given that colony three
shuttered last year,
I think they're worth checking up on.
Cooper, I want you to see what kind
of radio parts we have to spare.
Okay.
We've got nothing to spare.
Mason, we're sending a
team and I'm leading it.
I need two volunteers.
What if they've been hit with a new flu?
We'll take all precautions.
We'll go into quarantine when we get back.
That's what it's there for.
Quarantine's a fucking joke.
We're barely surviving here.
We need to take care of our own, Briggs.
We made a pact
with colony five
and we need to look after each other.
Yes, we did. And we're going.
End of discussion.
Dexter.
I need a skilled set of
hands with me out there.
I'll go.
Dex needs to stay in case
the turbines break down.
Thank you, Sam.
Anyone else?
Look at me.
Anyone?
Take me.
Graydon, no.
Please don't go.
Now, I know I haven't logged
a lot of surface time,
but I can do it.
Thank you, Graydom.
You'll do well.
All right. Kai will be in
charge until I'm back.
Rations are
still in effect,
although I've authorized regular
portions for the children.
Work details continue as usual.
We'll be in touch by radio.
She's sick.
Come on.
Get her out of here.
Quarantine until
further notice.
It's okay, sweetie,
don't worry. It's okay.
You really should have said
something earlier, Dex.
They're done, Briggs.
They're sick.
And we follow procedure.
They just put the whole colony at risk.
We need to give them the test right now.
We're gonna wait until I get back
and see if they've done any better.
Until then, Kai's in charge.
You really think she can
make the tough calls?
That's really not your
decision to make, is it?
Are we clear?
Crystal.
Mom!
Oh, my...
You okay?
That fuckin' dream.
It wasn't your fault.
Would you come back to bed?
The world froze
a long time ago.
So long ago that I can't
remember the warmth of the sun.
I heard the stories growing up.
How the planet grew hotter
as our fuel was burned.
How we made towers to work the weather.
But the truth is, one day it started to sn.
And it never stopped.
Hey! Is that what I think it is?
Weather
modification.
Never seen one
this close before.
You think it still works?
It did it's damage a long time ago.
We got to cross this thing?
Unless you wanna go down there.
We make our way around to the left!
Yeah.
Whoa!
Watch your step.
Guys!
What is that?
What the hell's he doing out here?
We got to keep moving.
God, how cool would it be to
fly one of these things, huh?
Hey, Briggs,
what was this used for?
Medevac.
It used to airlift people to safety.
I wish I could've seen that.
Briggs to colony seven.
Cooper, come in.
Colony seven here. Good
to hear your voice, Briggs.
Copy that.
Good to hear yours.
We're camped out at the
helicopter for the night,
so we should reach colony
five by noon tomorrow.
What about you?
Got any news?
Dex and Elena are still in quarantine.
And they're both getting worse.
They have all the symptoms.
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.
Shit.
How many were
there at last count?
Fifty.
Not so much of a welcoming
committee this time.
What the fuck 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 fuck 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.
Shit.
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.
We got your distress signal.
We came to help.
Leland.
What happened?
We fixed the steel grid to a new antenna.
When it finally worked,
it's reach was amazing.
We received a partial transmission.
You're gonna love this.
We have modid a weather Tor
and successfully reverd
the cooling process.
Clouds have receded to a three-mile
radius and are expanding.
We have thawed permafrost.
We have melted pack ice.
We now have soil. We have Su.
We now have the conditions to grow.
If anyone out there can hear
this, I repeat our location.
Our location, latitude
47 degrees north, two...
Is that it?
Is that all there is?
We triangulated the transmission,
sent a team to find the source.
But they never found it.
But somebody found them.
And followed them right back here.
Who?
Leland, who followed you?
Leland, look at me. Over here.
Show me on this map.
Where did that transmission come from?
Point. We're right here.
North, on this line.
And 25 degrees is here.
South, there.
Listen to me.
We're gonna take you back
to colony seven with us.
No! Please, sir.
I'm gonna stay here.
Right here behind this door.
- What if they're still here?
- There's no one here.
We only knew that you were
here because of the knocking.
Yeah, but I didn't knock.
They're still here!
They're still here.
Radio colony seven, you tell
them we're on our way back.
It's time for us to pack up and go.
Take anything we can carry.
Okay. It's okay.
It's all right.
Calling
colony seven.
Colony seven, can you read me? Over.
Colony seven,
come in.
This is Graydom calling in.
Can you read me? Over.
It's not working. All right.
We're too deep underground. We'll
radio ahead when we get back topside.
You, Leland, you're coming with us.
You don't understand!
It's safe behind this door!
There's 50 colonists, you're
the only one behind it.
I couldn't open it.
I just couldn't.
Get him on his feet.
Come on. Let's go.
What the fuck was that?
Shit.
He locked himself back inside.
Come on.
Graydon,
let's go!
We shouldn't be here.
This has nothing to do with us.
Turn that light out.
My God.
We got to go, Sam.
Now!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Come on!
Fuck.
Come on, Sam.
Come on.
Damn. Graydon.
He's gone. We better move. Go on. Go!
Go! Go!
Come on!
Fuck! I'm out!
Come on! Go! Go!
Briggs!
Give me your hand!
There's still people alive down there.
We can't help them, Sam.
We can't help them.
Briggs, don't you think
we should keep moving?
No! The temperature's dropping too fast.
We won't make it!
Come on.
Briggs?
Yeah?
Those people...
How could they...
I don't know, Sam.
When people are desperate, they'll do
horrible things to survive.
I told you I was an army captain
during the relief effort, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I never told you what I saw...
When...
When people lose control like that.
When we go feral...
There's nothing human left in us at all.
We might as well just
be a pack of wild dogs.
See, during the relief effort,
we had, uh, 20,000 people
corralled in a stadium.
Food got handed out.
And the sick got treated.
But when the food ran out...
The people with guns started taking
things from the people without guns.
And then,
when there was nothing left to take,
they took people upstairs and decided
who would live and who would die.
It was...
It was the hunger.
People couldn't take it.
It just drove them mad.
We tried to stop it.
We really did, but...
We couldn't.
Me and Mason, he was my
squad back then. We left.
Tried to find a place
where we could make sure
that nothing like that would happen.
You did.
Maybe.
You did.
When we get back, we'll
patch into the satellite.
Take a look.
If they've got the sun,
we've got the seeds.
No.
No, no, no!
How many?
Twenty!
Maybe more!
It's hard to tell!
Oh, fuck.
Our footprints!
Shit! We're going to lead them
right back to the colony.
We'll stop them at the bridge. Come on.
Come on!
Briggs, what are you doing?
Stopping 'em!
Block the wind!
No!
What?
The fuse is out!
Fuck!
I'm going to go and relight it.
What the fuck are you doing? Briggs.
Listen to me. Listen to me. We're fine.
I light it. I come back. We go home.
It's too late!
Briggs!
Come on! Get it done!
Come on. Come on!
Come on, you dogs!
Please! Just give her the goddamn test!
No more tests.
No! Oh, no. No.
Mason!
What?
Things are going to change around here.
Are you fucking crazy?
No.
I'm seeing things clearly.
You know the test is bullshit.
The delay just puts us all at risk.
Drop your gun!
Help!
Help!
Sam?
Sam!
Fuck!
Fuck.
Sam!
Sam? Sam?
Come on. Come on.
Hey. You're okay.
You're safe.
How long
have I been out?
A few hours.
Sam?
Where is he?
Where's my boy?
I tried.
No.
No.
No.
We lost Briggs, too.
What are you doing?
There's been a change in command.
We need to take precautions.
Briggs rules don't work anymore.
We need to be tougher to survive.
From now on, rations will be cut in Half.
Anyone showing signs of sickness
will be tested immediately.
If you don't pull your
weight, you don't eat.
Mason.
Where's Kai?
What happened, Sam?
What happened out there?
They killed them.
Everybody at colony five is dead.
Briggs come off the bridge.
Stopped them.
Stopped who?
These people...
They slaughtered everybody
for food.
Do you understand?
And they're coming here.
And unless we get out of here,
they will kill us.
And where are we going to go?
There's a thaw. I know where it is. Okay?
I can get us out of here.
I can show you where it is.
He's in shock. I can
lead you to where it is.
Give him a sedative.
Let me show you where it is!
No one is going anywhere.
Viktor,
let's go topside.
You need to listen to me!
Viktor!
Are you with me?
Mason, you need to listen to me.
Mason.
Mason!
Sam.
No. Nothing.
You know, Sam's a lot of
things, but he's not a liar.
If he says something's coming for
us, we better be ready for 'em.
Keep an eye on the monitors.
Sam!
Kai, are you okay?
Oh, my God! Did he hit you? It's fine.
Did he hit you?
I'm fine!
Are you okay?
Give me a sec.
Come here.
What happened out there?
I got to show you something.
Bring up two.
Nothing.
This is bullshit.
Mason!
Sam got away.
And how did he do that?
Rowan.
That little bastard.
Come on!
Let's go!
Forty-seven, 55.
What are
you looking for?
A thaw. Come on.
Sam.
Sam, there is nothing there.
I have already looked.
No, it's here.
I know it's here.
Sam.
Come on.
There it is.
Holy shit.
Look.
Oh, my God!
That's got to be like
eight Miles of Blue sky.
Let's go. Come on.
They took the weapons,
the maps, everything.
Shit.
They didn't take these.
What are you doing, Sam?
Sam, what are you doing?
We need to tell the others and we
need to get the hell out of here.
Let's go. Come on.
Come on. Come on, come on. Come on.
Going somewhere?
Yeah.
We're getting everyone
together and we're leaving.
No one's leaving.
Go fuck yourself, Mason. Hey.
If we don't leave right now...
Briggs is gone.
I'm running things now.
When everyone's dead, huh?
And you're king of the
fucking castle, then what?
I'll still be running things.
Oh, shit.
We're too late.
Oh, my God, my God, it's Dex.
You believe me now?
Anyone who can fire a weapon,
get 'em to the entrance.
We'll hold them there.
And get everybody else to the vault!
Let's go. Come on!
Come on, buddy. Let's go.
It's going to be all right.
Come on, guys!
Let's go,
let's go!
You led them straight to us.
They're breaking the hinges.
Fuck.
Behind us!
They're already inside.
In the vents.
Mason!
Here they come!
Viktor!
Fall back!
No!
No more running!
Everybody in the main Hall!
I'm out. We couldn't make it to the vault.
What the hell is going on out there?
They're inside.
They're everywhere.
There's no time!
No! Don't!
No! No!
No!
Let us in!
Let us in!
What are you doing?
Saving our lives.
No!
Let us in!
Mason!
Doors.
You locked us out of here.
Yes.
You fuckin' piece of shit!
The doors aren't going to hold.
We need to get the fuck out of here!
This leads to the surface!
You'll freeze, if those
things don't find you first.
It's our only chance!
No, we stay.
Hold them off here.
Come on. Let's go!
We stay!
Just leave him.
Come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Come on. Come on.
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
Nothing personal.
You're going to need every bullet.
Come and get it, motherfucker.
What do you want?
More.
Kai, look.
Sam. Sam!
What do we do now?
We walk.
With these...
At least we have a chance.
Now come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
We used to live and
die by the rules we made.
But our rules, like
everything else we built,
are breaking down.
There's only one rule left now, anyway.
One rule above all.
Survive.
Come on.
