Dust

Darcy goes up to the armory with a hunch that the fugitive might be hiding there. He discovers signs of someone’s presence but chooses to not go for help, worried about a conspiracy. As he explores the warehouse, he hears a voice behind a door—Charlotte’s.

As Darcy holds Charlotte at gunpoint, she complies with his demands to put her hands up and face the wall. She tearfully asks to see Donald before being executed. However, when Darcy asks how she and Donald escaped, Charlotte realizes that he is operating outside of protocol. Darcy just wants to know what is going on, so she directs him to the documents revealing that only one of the 50 silos will be allowed to survive and repopulate the Earth. Shocked, Darcy hides the documents in his suit; Charlotte asks to show him the truth.

Donald examines his bruised body and contemplates his death. He hears a knock on the door—Charlotte appears, hugs him, and gestures for him to follow her out of the cell, where Darcy is keeping watch. They return to the armory, where Charlotte explains that they flew another drone and saw a clean, healthy Earth far from the silo.
