02x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

I hear you've got a present for me.

I told you to keep
your girlfriend away from him.

You'd better pray she hasn't hurt him.

I helped Stephen.

- Cutter knows about the conspiracy.
- Lester's the traitor.

Cutter can't see that.
Come with me.

Are you still in love with her?

- I said who sent you?
- Leek.

It was Leek.

- Why would Leek try to k*ll me?
- It's done. I planted the virus.

Leek won't know a thing about it
until it turns round and bites him.

I wondered who was gonna come

and I was hoping it was gonna be you.

Why are you so
interested in these things?

Check: Sheva

What are Leek and Helen up to?

All those creatures.

Why are they here? What are
they going to do with them?

Well, I could guess,
but what's the point?

It's gonna be OK.
Helen's not interested in you.

She's your wife. You should
have kept her under control.

You know what I mean.

I hope your fiance knows
you're such an old-fashioned girl.

For your information,
I don't have a fiance anymore.

Why, what happened?

This job.

He thought I'd met someone else.

Couldn't very well tell him
it wasn't another man,

so much as a...

something-asaurus.

Anyway, the truth of the matter
is I've been feeling...

different recently.

- Can we talk about this another time?
- I didn't start it.

We do have other things
to worry about.

Imminent death, for example.

It's OK. We're not gonna die.

Helen's a lot of things,
but she's not a k*ller.

You really think she's in charge here?

Yeah. Leek doesn't have
the wit to do this on his own.

He's seen what I can do,
yet he still belittles me.

It's your own fault, Oliver.
You're too good at being insignificant.

You won't forget our deal?

Nothing happens to Nick.

I'd like to go home now, I don't
want to be involved in anything...

like this.

You leave her out of it.
She's nothing to do with this.

What?

As someone really smart,
you can be amazingly thick sometimes.

A girl like Caroline falling for
a shambling, adolescent mess like you.

No, I don't think so.

I paid her to pick you up.

You see...
people like me and you...

We don't get
the pretty girls, Connor.

We're the nerds...

The losers... the uncool.

Speak for yourself.
I do all right with women.

What? I do. I'm just... I'm choosy.

- Where's Rex?
- Who cares?

I do. Now tell me.

- I'm gonna enjoy this, Caroline.
- Don't wanna hurt you, Abby.

Don't flatter yourself.

You've got to stop this.

Why? I think
it's very entertaining.

You are a sad little man,
aren't you, Leek? Fine. I'll stop it.

Guys, could we just...

That's enough. Stop.

Stop, stop.

Thanks, Connor.

I didn't do it for you.

Lorraine, you're sure
there are no messages?

- No, sir.
- And there's been no anomaly alert?

Ah! Where is everybody?

None of them are responding
to their mobiles.

Leek is planning something
and I want to know what it is!

I'm in position.

Whatever Leek's planning
to do with those creatures,

Helen will have her own agenda.
She always does.

- Lester says she's mad.
- No. She's extraordinary.

Extraordinary?
She tried to k*ll you.

No, no, no. That was Leek.

- Bombs aren't Helen's style.
- But hostage-taking is.

Well, she must have her reasons.

God.

Anyone would think
you're still in love with the woman.

Yeah. Probably am.

Not so much to do with love or hate
anymore. It goes much deeper than that.

We shared something
that was unique.

We connected.

And there's nothing
I can do about it.

OK, then. Let me out
of here now, come on.

Hey, do you mind? Mate!

Do you wanna turn down the music?

Mate.

Look, are you gonna...

turn it down, or am I gonna have to come
over there and turn it down for you?

What do you want?

Listen, Stephen,
this is no time for sulking

People are dying right now and many more
will die unless you do something.

Look.

We need you.

There's been an att*ck at a beach.
We think it's a Silurian Scorpion.

I can't get hold of Cutter.

How can I trust you?
Why shouldn't you trust me? Look...

We haven't got time for this.

All right, tell me what's going on.
But f I help you, I do it alone.

You're going to need backup.

If I so much catch sight
of one of your men, I'm out.

It's time we talked.

What about?

Fascinating.

The same as Claudia in every
external detail. Eyes, hair.

In all visible ways she's
the same woman, and yet

- she's completely different.
- Back off.

A little more aggressive
perhaps than the original.

Claudia Brown becomes Jenny Lewis,
a new person with a new identity.

Interesting.

As though nature
allows only so much...

- variation.
- Listen.

You can still save yourself.

Help us, and I'll make sure
Lester goes easy on you.

I think you'd be happier
with your friends.

Nick, you're with me.

- Where have they taken Jenny?
- Well, she's quite safe.

- So are the others.
- Yeah? So what's all this about?

A fresh start, Nick.

A new and better future.

Abby, Connor.

- How are you? Are you OK?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- How's Cutter?
- He's OK. He's fine.

- And how are you?
- I'm all right.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's all very touching.

Now if you don't mind...

You wanted answers.

Oh, my God.

Oh my God!

The world changed
in a new direction once before.

Your friend Jenny proves that
if we can control the anomalies

we can make it happen again.

- Doesn't that excite you?
- No.

I don't want to change
the world, Helen.

I happen to think it's rather
beautiful just the way it is.

Do you know what happens when
we interfere? The damage we can cause.

We can't damage the future, Nick.
We can only alter it.

It can't hurt you.

Not unless Leek orders it to.

The neural clamp
overrides its instincts.

You gave this technology to Leek?

And you found it in the future.

I discovered a lot of things.

You can too if you want.

Come on. I'll take you to Leek.

Let me go, please.
I... I won't say anything.

You didn't know?

You're just in time for dinner.

Of course they'd prefer
to hunt for their own food.

But it's amazing how quickly
they can be trained.

Rex!

If it's me you really want to talk to,
why don't you just let the others go?

The last time the world changed,
it was an accident.

But we can repeat
that accident as an experiment

under controlled conditions.

So what do you want to do is,
you want to change the present

just to see what happens
in the future?

I knew you'd understand.

What happens if you destroy
the human race

- during this experiment?
- Then we bring it back again.

I'm going to wake up soon.
I know I am.

This is just a dream.

- Stop snivelling, for goodness sake.
- Come on. Be nice.

I knew there was something
fake about her.

The way she was all so lovey-dovey,
and never even let you kiss her.

She did, actually.

Just never when you were around.

Well, couldn't you tell
she was faking it?

Never mind.

I hate myself for what I did to you.

I was greedy and stupid.

I'm sorry.

You know I think this is why
the anomalies first appeared, Nick.

So that we can help
create the future!

No, everything, everything in nature
is the result of random selection.

Now if we start to disrupt
that perfect balance,

- then life just begins to unravel.
- I disagree.

Let's see who's right.

- What's he doing here?
- I invited him.

Well, never mind.

I wanted him to see this anyway.

Give away our location
and your friends die.

- Is it Cutter?
- I'm afraid not.

But Cutter is here with me
and so are the others.

They're fine. For now.

It's only a matter of time until we track
you down, Leek. If you don't release...

Listen to me.

An hour ago I released
a Silurian Scorpion

into a well-known holiday resort.

I can tell from your face
it's already made an impact.

I've positioned another
dozen creatures in similar locations.

- Go on.
- Call off the search

or I shall let them go one by one.

What is it you really want, Leek?
Is it money?

- I'll be in touch.
- What about the scorpion?

Oh. Erm...

That's your problem.

I want every available person
out looking for those creatures.

And if Stephen calls for backup,
make sure he gets it immediately.

It's done.

Come and get it whenever you like.

Money? Money!

- Is that what this is all about?
- The anomalies are unstoppable now.

And in the future money
will not mean very much,

but knowledge and power will,
and I intend to be very, very powerful.

You knew all of this and
yet you still helped him.

I need the right environment
to conduct my research.

What? What's going on?

What's happening?

What's happening?

Nothing good.

I underestimated you,
Oliver, you're...

you're a lot smarter
than I gave you credit for.

I know.

How did you figure out that
we'd rigged the anomaly detector?

Oh, it wasn't difficult to see
you'd found my Spyware.

After that all I needed to do was remotely
upload a modification from my laptop.

Simple, really.

- Well, I never saw that coming.
- No, of course you didn't.

But if you think that
paying me compliments

is gonna buy your friends
any more time,

I'm afraid you're mistaken.

What's going on?

I think the Americans
call it dinner theatre.

I've got to get out.

- Let me out!
- No!

We have to stick together.

It'll pick off any stragglers first.
Stay together.

Don't worry guys,
Cutter will get us out of this.

Well, he better do soon.

- Stop this!
- All right.

You've had your nasty little joke.

Who said anything about a joke?

- Stop this. Now.
- You do not give me orders!

No-one does.

Abby?

What are you doing?

I know this creature.

It's the one that k*lled Valerie.

I thought Leek said it was dead.

Well, it looks pretty well to me.

It has to decide if I'm dangerous.

Then what?

Then it eats me.

It's done.

- Both parts?
- Both parts.

Luke won't know a thing about this
until it turns round and bites him.

Cutter, that's pathetic.

I just patch my laptop
up to the mainframe,

and I still have
complete control over...

"Warning. Warning."

"System breach"

Don't bother. Connor planted
a virus in the detector.

You downloaded it to your laptop
when you hacked in.

In a couple of minutes, the whole
system's gonna be paralysed.

"Security failure imminent"

"Security system disabled"

Abby!

Get out of there.

- Oh, no, what about Cutter?
- He'd want us to go.

We've got to get up
to ground level.

"Warning"

"Animal containment
facility offline"

"Warning. Warning."

"Animal containment
facility offline"

You see, Nick?
We still make a good team.

We're not a team.

I'm handing you over to Lester.

No, you won't do that.

I heard what you said in the cell.
I know you still love me.

Don't flatter yourself.

I said exactly what
you wanted to hear.

- You knew the cell was bugged.
- I thought it might be Leek's style.

So I thought I'd put on
a little performance, just in case.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey,
I didn't mean it.

- I don't believe you.
- I don't care.

Now, get in front of me
before I sh**t you.

I don't think you'll do that, Nick.

Helen.

"Warning. Warning. Warning."

"Mainframe contacting
external network."

"Upload of data files commencing."

What's going on?

The detector's networked
itself to an external mainframe.

- Well, stop it!
- I can't.

- Are we being sabotaged?
- I don't think so.

It's sending us information.

Come on, right this way!

It's OK. Scutosaurus.

We need to hit it! Hit it!

Wait, wait.

I'll take that, thank you.

Right, come on.

I've had enough of this.

- Where have you been?
- "Listen, there isn't much time".

Lester kidnapped me.

I got away but I need you
to come and get me.

Kidnapped?

Nick and the others are dead.

Lester had them k*lled.

Stephen...

Listen.

Stephen, listen,

Lester's gonna call you.
Whatever he says, it's a trap.

I'm going to tell you where I am,
and then throw your mobile away.

They can trace you with it.

Which direction now?

Any ideas?

OK, this way, then.

Wait. Wait...

It's Rex! It's Rex!

Rex!

Rex!

Rex, come on!

- I can feel a draught.
- Not our most pressing problem now.

We really don't have time for this!

Fresh air.

Connor!

It's Rex. He's found a ventilation
shaft to the surface.

Come on. You first, Abby.

Where did you learn
to sh**t like that?

Most of my friends liked Pony Club.

I preferred clay pigeons.

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

Wait!

Oh, my God, it's Rex,
he's been hit.

Rex!

- Is he all right?
- I think so.

Come on.

I got him in here.
The least I can do is get him out.

- Will he be OK?
- He'll be fine. Thank you.

Guys, we've got
to get hold of Lester.

Clearly a design fault.
I'll have to correct that in the others.

What others?

I wouldn't bother trying to escape.

They'll rip you to pieces
before you could blink.

My very own Praetorian guard.

They'll make me untouchable.

You really think you can keep them
locked up for long?

Properly chipped,

they're no more dangerous
than a car or an aeroplane.

A machine, designed for human use.

No, that's not how
it's gonna work, Oliver.

Because one day
they're gonna escape.

And then when they do,
they're gonna k*ll all of us.

The end of the human race
you're looking at.

I'd love to stand around,

discuss your apocalyptic fantasies
all day, Professor, but

unfortunately, I've got work to do.

Now, in a few minutes, the mainframe
will have eliminated the virus.

Unfortunately, your friends
have escaped.

Lester will soon know where I am.

But...

I have you!

And I don't think he'll att*ck me.

I wouldn't bet on that.

- What is this place?
- I don't know.

Lester's people brought me here.

What happened to Cutter?

There are creatures here, Stephen.

He was k*lled.

You saw it?

Where's Lester?

Oh, he's too powerful, Stephen.
We can't stay here.

I've been thinking.
We should find another anomaly.

Wait on the other side
until it's safe.

- We have to confront him.
- Stephen, we have to go.

He k*lled my friends.

You've had your chance
to surrender, Leek.

I still have 12 creatures out there.

One command from me
and there'll be absolute chaos.

Cutter didn't tell you?

That clever little virus of his
sent us the contents of your hard disk.

We found names, locations,
all sorts of useful stuff.

We're just mopping up
the last of your menagerie now.

Oh, and Jenny just phoned.

You have...

Oh, just a few minutes
before we join you.

Now, if you don't mind, I think
there's some snooker on the other channel.

Have you ever seen a man
torn in half on live TV, Lester?

Call a halt to your men,

or I shall order these creatures
to dismantle Professor Cutter

joint by joint.

The government does not
negotiate with hostage-takers.

- 30 seconds, then they k*ll him.
- Your choice.

James, don't do it.
I'm not important.

Ten...

Unfortunately, I agree
with Professor Cutter.

Seven, six, five...

No individual's life is more important
than the protection of the public.

Three, two, one...

What have you done?

They're gonna k*ll us all!

No!

Switch that off.

There's no time.
Forget about Lester, it's too late.

Finish this now, Helen.

You said he was dead.

- What have you done?
- Not you, too?

Don't tell me you knew about this.

I have never seen this place
before in my life.

I told you the truth!

- Lester brought me here.
- You ask her, ask her

about what she really wanted to do.
Go on, ask her about Leek,

ask her about how many people
were gonna die.

He's trying to trick you.

I so badly wanted
to believe in you.

But it doesn't put
you in the right!

Stephen, there's a whole army
of predators in here.

If any of them make it above ground,
there's gonna be nobody left.

Now, if you want to help people,
we have to do this!

They're too powerful, Nick.
Nothing you can do.

Well, you're gonna
have to think of something,

or we're all gonna die.

Now, you brought them here.
You know them.

The siren.

The creatures associate
the sound with food.

They'll come back to the cage room
whenever it sounds.

If we can lock them in with the predators,
they'll destroy each other.

Come on, then.

It's working.
Let's get out of here.

I'll seal the door.
Nothing will get out!

Stephen, sh**t it!

The creatures are almost here.

- Come on, Nick!
- We can't close the door!

Or otherwise they're
gonna get back out.

We can only do that
from in there now.

The control is on the other side.
Whoever does it gets locked in.

One of us has got to go back in.

I'll do it.

- You'll never make it out.
- Get out of here.

Just remember,
Lester's not the enemy.

Nick, please!

Stephen!

Sorry, mate. I'm doing this one.

No! Open the door! Open it!

Can't do it, Nick.

Can't take the risk.

Stephen, open the door!

Tell Abby and Connor...

to stay out of trouble.

Connor...

I just wanted to say... sorry.

I was thinking that...

Well, you... you have my number.

Drink?

Another time, then.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Cutter!

Had a call from the ARC.
New anomaly.

Better get going.

Sorry. Bad timing.

Cutter!

Are you coming?

Sure.

Be patient, Stephen.

Things can change.

More than you'll ever know.
