02x03 - Hold the Line

[bunniefuu]

Exodon is Devon Deveraux's gig.

Owen Deveraux's... Daughter?

My family are difficult.

We'll finish the job.

Jean's got a new guy starting.

The island. My guess - that's where
those poor people are being held.

Let's just find these
prisoners and get out of here.

Shall we go for a walk? Ben?

Where are they?

f*ck you.

WOMAN SHRIEKS

I'll tell you. I know
where they are going.

I'm here with a group.

We call ourselves O.

Your friends, they drugged
me and left me for dead.

Now do you see why I
didn't want you here?

Did you miss me?

Hello?

BABY BABBLES ON MONITOR

Brain aneurysm.

I was told he was sleeping
with some girl on the ship.

She woke up, found him.

Not sure they needed
to share that detail,

but at least he
wasn't alone, I guess.

Sorry about the mess. I...

I'm moving back in with my mum.

He was sent back in that.

Velorum made me pay for postage.

Are you OK?

Were... were you there?

I knew it. I knew that it
was too good to be true,

after the Army spat him out
and your lot were there,

waiting for him with open arms.

You deserve to know the truth.

But, Zoe, you have to trust me

if you put your head above ground,
Velorum will come after you.

WHISPERS: I shouldn't be
telling you any of this.

I didn't expect... I just
want to leave this and go.

Did... did they send you?

No!

No, I would be six feet under if
they found out I was ever here.

Then why are you here?!

Because it's my fault he's gone.

I let the situation
get out of control.

You know, I could've...

I should've stopped it and.

I had the chance to intervene,
but I chose Velorum over him.

I fell in line

and I watched it happen because

that is what I do.

It's my fault.

I'm so sorry.

Out! Get out!

Sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Good vibes only, guys, yeah?

I come in peace.

What is she doing here?

Karen's with us.

What?

Okey-doke, that's us.

Nice to meet you all.

Get out of the way.

Nobody moves until we say so.

Ben?

Ben?

WHISPERED: Who's that? He's
one of the site builders.

BUILDER SHRIEKS AND GROANS

STABBING CONTINUES

SHRIEKING CONTINUES

Get to the cabin.

Full of surprises,
you, aren't you?

If anyone has a reason
not to trust her, it's me.

I don't forgive her, but we
can't do this without her.

Look, I can't change
what I did, all right?

I'm here to make things right.

Velorum and me are history.

Karen's here in
an advisory role.

Sorry, advising
on what, exactly?

Pain? Suffering?

Scraped-back ponies?

I promise you, I am
here for one thing

and that is to f*ck-stomp
Velorum into oblivion.

I recruited her myself.

She got reposted here
to help with logistics

how to get us set
up with our jobs.

Heard Velorum came after you.

Beaker. All fart and no shite.

By the time he even realises you're
here, we'll be finished with this.

Finished what? You still haven't
explained what you're doing here.

This is an extraction mission.

Who are you extracting?

Big Daddy Deveraux.

Owen Deveraux?

As in Owen Devereaux
who owns Velorum?

Boss man arrives tomorrow night.

We're going to snatch the
sun-dried b*stard from his bed,

take him to a secure location,

make him spill every screwed-up
thing Velorum has ever done

and broadcast his
confession to the world.

You're just going to walk
in there and kidnap him?

Yes. That's enough.

And what about the people
that they have here

waiting to be slaughtered?

Yeah, we can't save everyone.

And if you blow our cover,
so many more will die.

This will go on and on.

That's why you HAVE to leave.

Yes, suits me.

There's the door there, right?

Erm, I don't want to be anywhere
near this angel of death,

so I'm just going to...

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey. g*n CLICKS.

Whoa! Whoa.

Not so fast, princess.

I need some
assurances. Maggie...

This f*ck-about ends here.

I want to know that
you're ALL leaving.

You've missed your
window tonight.

It's too risky now.

1,000 guests arrive tomorrow.

That's when you get
out unnoticed. Yeah?

I'll sneak you out the back way.

And if we refuse?

Then we'd really have
a problem, wouldn't we?

Vivian...

All right! We'll leave tomorrow!

We'll get out of your way.

See?

That wasn't so
difficult, was it?

Go back to your
cabin and stay there.

We'll be watching.

Wait for our word.

Who knew Karen could
be out-Karened?

There's always a bigger fish.

Hey, John McClane! Have
you got a death wish?

What was that about?!

Ugh, calm your t*ts.

Jamie...

Not cool.

Me?! You're in bed with Karen!

Let me finish this.

Get out of here and find
somewhere safe to wait.

Don't worry about me.

That's all I do.

Is that why you played
dead for a year?

Is that why you just let
your friend pull a g*n on us?

She was bluffing.

Right, and her drugging me
and leaving me for dead?

Was that a bluff too or...?
Just do what she says.

But there are
people who need us.

People who are
waiting to be k*lled.

This isn't the
place for heroics.

No, just kidnap and t*rture.

How much were you planning
on telling them, Karen?

They needed to know
we were serious,

although I think you c*ck your
GL*CK might have done the job.

Jesus, Karen. Go to bed.

KAREN SCOFFS

OK, er...

Follow them. Don't let
them out of your sight. Go.

Er, Pippa?

We scared him in the woods,
but I didn't drug him.

And if-if... if I hurt
him, I'd be hurting you

and that is the last thing
that I'd ever want. Not...

Not after all
we've been through.

If you want to call
this off, we can.

Just say the word.

No.

Of course not.

Just

leave him to me from now on.

Yeah. Yeah.

OK.

Well, did you?

Tranquillise the twink?

No.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have snapped at you.

It can't be too easy for
you, seeing them again.

It's funny, though.

You'd never think it was THEM
who brought YOU crashing down.

Goodnight.

PHONES RING

Thanks for calling
Velorum customer support.

My name is Karen.

Can I have your
account number, please?

OK, sir. No. Yeah.

No, could you just hold for me while
I transfer you to my supervisor,

who will give you the exact
same information I just have?

Have you just phoned
to insult me, madam,

or did you have an enquiry?

Just insult me. Great.

No, have at it. Go for it.

You know, staring at it won't
make it cook any quicker.

Pub later?

Karen?

Can't.

Busy.

MICROWAVE DINGS

Er, tomorrow, then? Maybe?

Er, look... Erm...

Gail. Gail.

Gail, you've asked me
out for a drink every day

since you started here, and you
wouldn't be the first to assume,

but don't be fooled by my sensible
shoes and my can-do attitude, right?

I'm no fur trader.

Karen's strictly dickly.

Oh, no!

No! No, I meant a
friendly drink, you know?

A couple of G&Ts, cheeky gossip.

Thanks for calling
Velorum customer support.

My name is Karen. Can I get
your account number, please?

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Karen's up to something.

Well, it's not our
problem after tomorrow.

We need to get ahead of her.

Oh, I thought we were leaving.

We need to make the
most of tonight.

Use the time that we have to...

What are you doing?

I, would you believe,
am going to bed.

Cormac, we don't have time!

You slept the whole
way here, man! I drove!

Listen, we need to
move now, before the...

Where... where did
you get pyjamas from?

Look, if I don't get a
couple of hours' sleep now,

I'm going to be
no use to anybody.

Well, fine. You sleep and we'll
get scoping the place out.

We need to find Lauren.

I think our new friend might
have something to say about that.

Right, guys, we...

SNORING

Ah!

DISTANT WHIMPERING

Could you guys not sleep either?

Honestly, I am wired!

It's all happening.

Guests arrive tomorrow.

Daddy's not far behind.

Yeah, you look hungry.

We can get you
guys some nibbles.

Need to keep our strength up.

Ah, not long now!

SHE SQUEALS How are we feeling?

Why are you doing this?

Please, just...
just... just let us go.

Hey.

OK.

What?

Yeah, since you asked so nicely.

Really?

No. SHE CHUCKLES.

Please, no! No, no, no!

God, it's camomile!
It's a sleep mist!

Relax. SHE SIGHS.

Honestly, all of you
just need to rest, yeah?

Bring those cortisol
levels, like, right down.

Thank you so much
for your patience.

I promise we will have
things up and running soon.

Our special change-makers
can't wait to meet you.

GATE SLAMS

I don't think they're after us.

Hey, look at this.

Isn't that the island?

I need to go back to the others.

We're wasting time.

We can't leave tomorrow.

We've come too far.

I don't know what's happened to
her, but that is not my sister.

And if they're not going to
help those people, then we will.

They are out there right
now, waiting to die.

And if this freak
show starts tomorrow,

then they won't be
waiting for long.

RAPID FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

THEY PANT

Hang on, though, I
still don't get it.

Why would you k*ll your
own construction team?

Maybe they saw too much. Well,
if they helped build this place,

they got what was
coming to them anyway.

Sorry, did you say Karen?

They were adapting
what was already here.

They were working on the
main house and the island.

But you said there's no
way to get there. No.

Karen? You haven't
seen any boats?

Could we swim it?

HE SCOFFS Who are you?
Michael f*cking Phelps?

I can swim.

Ballet swim. I used to do
it all the time on the ship.

I choreographed this insane
routine to Cardi B's WAP,

where we all wore
mermaid fins...

Oh, God. Lads, we're not
swimming over there. Come on.

What's that in the woods?

It's not that far from lake.

It could be a
boathouse or something.

Yeah, that could be
our way to the island.

OK, well, you check that out.

I'll take the first Karen watch.

I mean, I'd feel better if one
of us was keeping an eye on her.

I'll come with you. Kind of
need to see it to believe it.

Wait. Aren't you
forgetting someone?

I know how to get rid of him.

Ben, have you got a radio?

Yep...

You've got yourself a peeper.

I'll call security. ALL: No!

I wouldn't want to make a fuss.
I mean, he's not done anything.

He's just making me feel
really uncomfortable.

I thought maybe you could
have a word with him for me.

Where's your, er... boyfriend?

Doesn't like confrontation.

Do you, baby?

No. Hate it.

But he

has been power-perving
on me since we got here.

You did the right thing,
calling me. Leave him to me.

I got you, baby.

Thank you so much.

Really appreciate it.

Thanks again, Tristan.

Prick.

Billy, isn't it?

Yeah. Hey, Billy. Erm...

Guests arriving.
All hands on deck.

Come on, let's go. Come on.

Yes, Rosie!

We won't have long
before he comes back.

MUSIC: Alley Bells
by Brian Just.

HE GRUNTS AND YELLS

Welcome. How are you?

Who is that?

Because he looks like
a buy-to-let landlord,

and we are promoting
wellness, Jean, yes?

Not gout. So he cannot be
front of house. Move him.

Hi!

Steve and Jared Garrett.

We booked the
Changemaker Package.

Yes, of course. Welcome.

So glad you could join
us. How was your journey?

Long. Um, I can't
get cell service.

Sure. Right, so here at
Exodon, we just really want you

to give yourself
permission to unplug.

Yeah, that's, um... That's
not going to work for me.

Unplug.

Uh-uh.

Unplug.

SOFT CHUCKLE

There's a Wi-Fi code in
your tent. THEY LAUGH.

You're in a deluxe stargazer
with a roll-top bath,

and I hope that you boys will join
us later for our welcome party.

We're going to open up
our Anahata chakras,

and we've got a Zoom
performance by George Ezra.

Uh-huh!

Guys, I don't like this.

I really don't think we should
be testing the pixie cut militia.

Let's just do what they
say and get out of here.

Oh, well... let's go back.

Might catch the seminar on Radically
Up-Levelling Your Personal Brand.

You didn't need to
come with us, you know.

Obnoxious b*tch... We need to get
through here. I don't know how we...

What's she doing?

We told you to stay in the
cabin! Oh, for f*ck's sake.

What do you think you're doing?

You've got to stop
running around after him.

We don't run after anyone.
Maggie's going to flip.

Oh, Maggie can suck a fat one.

You're really starting
to boil my piss.

You know, you're longing off the one
person who actually cares about you.

Well, I'm his sister.
Well, we're his friends.

And I'm Lauren, by the
way. Nice to meet you.

Look, all I'm saying is a little
bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss.

Are you always this difficult?

I've pathological
demand avoidance.

It's a real disorder. Really?

Yeah, really.

I said I'd meet Ben.

Go.

No, wait here.

Go. Wait.

Lauren, just go,
yeah? I'll find you.

Yeah.

Come on, let's go
find Mommie Dearest.

Hopefully she'll sh**t me.

SHE GRUNTS Let's... Hey.

Let's say we do find
these people at this...

FLIES BUZZ ..island or whatever,

then what?

BIRDS SCATTER

SHRIEK

What was that?!

I need to pee.
Really need to pee.

Be quick. Great.

I'll go with her, shall I?

HE SIGHS

We're definitely
going the right way.

It's just a case of
finding the place.

Should've found it by now! Hey.

So us leaving later,

I was thinking, man, it
might be for the best.

Well, there's maybe something to
Pippa's kidnap plan, you know?

The truth coming straight from
the horse's mouth or whatever.

I don't know. Just...

I-I just keep thinking Huey
and Dewey are going to rock up

at any moment.

Beaker and his... friend.

Jamie, we really don't want
to be here when they show up.

Guys?

You need to see this.

So it's not a boathouse.

Maybe we should go around.

Yeah.

Come on!

This is it. It's got to be!

It's probably part
of the estate.

Cameras.

There's got to be
another way in.

Right, OK.

HE WHISPERS

Jamie?

Jamie!

I'm going to have
to go after him.

Hang on, just exercise some
self preservation, please,

before you go into the
dark basement of death.

Is the future.

Wait!

I'll come back and check on him.

I'd like 1mg of Diazepam.

OK, how soon can we do this?

DOOR SLAMS SHUT

GURGLING

BUBBLING

DOOR OPENS

GRUNTS AND ROARS

Oh...

What did you see?

I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

There was someone in there.

Hey, easy now.

We were just getting
our guard on, you know?

See if we could catch a quick
mass, a bit of communion.

We heard it was a church.

You won't find God out here.

Church is closed.

Sorry. Are you...? Are
you a priest, Father?

No. We're...

We're working the festival.

We're on the sound team.

Well, you're out of bounds.

Are we? What's that?

I'm a model.

He was just taking
some pictures of me.

I thought you worked in sound.

Right, yeah, modelling
is more of a side hustle.

I'm a social media
brand ambassador,

so I have a lot of brand
deals and campaigns.

She's got an OnlyFans.

HORN BEEPS

There you are!

Hey.

My fault, Doc!

My fault.

Left the gate open, didn't I?

I've been busy as
a one-legged cat

trying to bury a shite
in a frozen pond.

Huh? You four with me - now!

Joseph, isn't it? Mm.

Karen, facilities manager.

You're a good-looking
fella, aren't you?

I don't really believe
in therapy, but...

SHE INHALES

you could change my mind.

You cannae go
wandering off, kiddies.

All sorts of nasties out here.

My God!

Off we go.

I'll run them back, shall I?

Let's go!

Come on!

This is some white people sh*t.

Hi. Hey.

What are you...? What
are you doing? What's...?

So I've thought about it.

I know you haven't
actually asked me,

and I don't want to tag
along uninvited or anything,

but if you're leaving.

I'd really like to come with.

Are you sure?

Because you know we're
being hunted out there.

And if something... No, I know.

But I've seen two people die
here in really terrible ways.

And this carbon-neutral twat circus
is literally just getting started.

Hmm. So it's not like I'm
safer in here than out there.

And, I don't know,

I guess I'd rather die out
there trying with you than

than in here
waiting without you.

That sound better
in my head? Stop!

HORN TOOTS

All right!

Bunch of f*cking hippies.

Out!

Not you. He'll catch you up.

It's fine, just go on.

Head to the back gate.

Well, that was
incredibly stupid.

Who was that? He's a shrink.

He's working with guests.

Karen, in the chapel, there
was someone with a mask.

I don't want to know. No, but
listen... No, absolutely not.

I'm sure there is
plenty of f*ck afoot.

I'm not here for that.

I can't keep bailing you out.

Who do you think it was dragged
your arse out the forest yesterday?

That was you?!

I found you.

Pill Cosbied,
talking to yourself.

That's what she used.

Happy pills.

Poor cow lost her daughter.

It sent her doolally.

Why are you helping me?

After your wee insurrection

they demoted me.

Took away the one thing
I love most in the world.

Lifetime ban.

From what?

Cruising.

Oh, for f*ck's sake. Well, I
can't go within five metres

of so much as a park pedalo.

That's what this is about?

You've come here to... Right,
will you shut up and listen?

Because we don't have long.

Vinegar t*ts is about
to kick you out.

You're right not to trust me,
but I'd trust Maggie even less.

Yeah, scales fell from my
eyes the minute she started

throwing her weight about.

I thought she was different.

I thought she was all
right to begin with.

She helped me.

I am done taking orders
from tinpot dictators.

HE CHUCKLES

Is something amusing?

What do you mean,
she helped you?

ON RADIO: Humber -
wind south-west, 46.

Sea state smooth at first light,

becoming rough later
in the far north-east.

Weather - rain or showers,

visibility good,
occasionally moderate.

And that's today's shipping
forecast. For more...

SHE SNIFFLES

KNOCK ON WINDOW f*cking hell!

Are you looking
for fun, love? Eh?

Are you looking
for a bit of fun?

What...?

No, I am not!

f*ck off, you dirty b*stards.

I'll run you over!

f*ck off!

Gail.

We've been watching you
for quite a while now.

My name's not Gail.

It's Maggie.

Velorum got to Sam Rhodes' wife.

She was...

She was asking too
many questions.

I should never have gone there.

Yeah, you've made mistakes.

But it doesn't have
to end like this.

I want to help you, Karen.

There's no helping me.

That's not true.

I want to make Velorum
pay, expose them.

And I know you can help
me make that happen.

Join me.

I'm not running around after
other people again. I can't do it.

You won't be running
around after anyone.

We.

Can set this straight together.

Set it straight?

Can you bring people
back from the dead?

Well, since you mention it...

It doesn't matter.

Point is, Maggie's got to go

and your sister has
drunk the Kool-Aid.

Maggie treats
Pippa like her own.

I have seen her
watching Pippa sleep.

It is deeply uncomfortable.

So, what are we saying?

Problem shared is
a problem halved?

Well, thanks for
stopping by. No problem.

All right. Lovely
to meet you guys.

Everybody in the van.
Let's get out of here.

Oi! I'm not going anywhere.

If you lot want to go, I won't
stop you, but I am staying.

For the love of God.

I am not leaving you with her.

This is what she used yesterday.

And it was Karen who
found me and helped me.

WHISPERS: Pippa.

Pippa!

Pippa, I only want to
protect you. I wasn't...

I wasn't going to hurt him.

Billy gave him the bottle.

I said it wasn't a good
idea. Hey, wait. Excuse me.

He'd have been fine.

We were just

buying some time,
just keeping him busy.

He's my brother.

You could have k*lled him.

He's a distraction.

I'm not going anywhere
until this is finished.

Me neither.

I'm sure we can find a
way to make this work.

I'm sure we can handle
the two of them. No.

No, this is a mistake!

Pippa...

Go.

Pippa...

Listen. I said go!

We're done.

We're done.

I'm not going to change
your minds, am I?

If we don't make it

someone has to carry on
the fight. Good luck.

WHISPERS: I'll miss you.

OK.

If you're staying, you're
playing by our rules.

We do this together.

I hate being proven wrong.

That does surprise me.

The others thought I was
mad for recruiting you.

All that effort I
made. What a waste.

This was your chance to show
that maybe you could be forgiven.

I'm talking to you, you b*tch.

You know last night?
Didn't sit right.

You know, you telling
them everything.

And then it clicked.

You were trying to keep me busy.

You wanted them to stay,
so I'd be distracted

and running around
after them. Well...

SHE SCOFFS

I found your nasty surprise.

Cupboard isn't the
greatest hiding place.

Haven't you been busy?

Is that what those
tools are for, hmm?

After all you've done

have you not got enough
blood on your hands?

What was it that girl called you
last night? An angel of death.

Kidnapping the big
man won't be enough.

We have to go all the way. What,
and k*ll us all in the process?

If you're going to sh**t
me, get on with it,

because if I have to listen to
another second of your shite,

I'll neck myself.

Here, be my guest.

I won't stop you.

Not this time.

I'm not going to sh**t you,
Karen. I'm not like you. I tried.

I tried to help you, but you

no, you're just too far gone.

We can set this
straight together.

What? That's what
you said to me.

That's what you
promised me. Together.

Didn't take long for you to go
full Pussolini on it, did it?

Once the rest of them
see this, you're gone.

You're finished here.

I'll let the others know
it didn't work out, yeah?

And

why don't you do
us all a favour?

Open it.

Hm?

Open it!

I'll tell you what

I'll swap you.

This key for that one.

This? Yeah.

Not a chance.

Oops.

Not like me?

You were going to leave that
boy for dead in the woods.

It's not the same.
Oh, right, no.

Yeah, and it was all
Billy's doing anyway, right?

No.

You'd never get your
hands dirty, would you?

You're no different to them.
