I want you to control the flow of

information from that town

till we work out what we are dealing

with. What was on the truck?

We don't know.

HE COUGHS, SHE COUGHS

What's that smell?

What?

SHE HISSES, HE SCREAMS

We're missing 15 residents!

Patrols are out searching for the

missing residents.

Well, we'd better hope that your

troops pick up

the remaining stragglers, then.

Can I ask her out? What, Finn?

No, Kelly.

Argh! Get off! Get Ow! Ow!

So you leave a message,

RINGING, COMMOTION

How many calls are on hold? The

Ambulance Service is shut down!

We need to get them back online.

I need you to get on top of this.

Find out where these calls are

coming from. Come on!

Shut it down. Isolate the town.

It was a fully blown chemical weapon

being transported across

the country.

It's not procedure.

We're looking into it.

What the hell is this thing?

It looks like it's moving fast.

Behaving like a nerve agent.

So much for the vapour dispersing

after a kilometre.

It must have gotten into the water

table somehow. It's too soon.

Well, maybe a resident got into

town

and spread it through contact.

This can't get out of Dambury.

OK. Let's seed a few cover stories.

Foot and mouth, paint spill, some

contradictory stories about 5G,

the usual stuff.

Well, how's that going to help?

It's not going to help,

but it will confuse the real

message if this gets out.

What I don't want to see is

biological weapons spill,

and if I do, I want it diluted with

enough other mad information

that this looks like conspiracy,

too.

Keep up, Wrollen!

You contain the spill,

and I'll contain the people.

I shot her.

SCREAMING

She was going to k*ll me.

NAN GROWLS

I shot your nan!

It's right through her heart.

I'm sorry, Kelly.

I don't feel anything.

I thought I'd be more cut up.

I've never seen anything like it.

Was it an allergic reaction?

Like, some kind of medical thing

or something?

She was sick and then she

went berserk.

I don't know. It was so quick.

I was trying to go for a warning

shot.

Yousaved me, Stef.

I did?

I did!

Yeah. But, you know

..it's not good, you know,

unnecessary force.

What's unnecessary force?

Like, you bust in and sh**t someone

with a crossbow!

Well, I didn't know what to do.

Can't do anything about it now!

Going to need stitches.

I hate stitches.

I'll go get tablets, or something.

You good?

Yeah, just numb.

Is it a really bad time to say that

I really like you, Kelly?

Right? Y-Yeah, right, bad timing.

I-I was just thinking because of the

saving.

Shutting up Oh, be quiet Stef!

We have to hide her.

What, move the body?

That's a proper crime, isn't it?

I mean, it's a minor one on top of

m*rder, to be fair.

M-m*rder? I'm no lawyer.

More self-defence. It's not a thing.

What's self-defence for someone else?

Stef, it's not a thing.

Self-defence, defence. It's not a

thing. Get her out of here

and I'll tell them she attacked me

and ran off.

This is the only way.

My nan loved those curtains.

STEF GROANS

Bye, Janine.

Yeah, we can use Tina's car.

She's always been a b*tch

to my nan.

All right. All right.

You sure about this?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Oh, she started talking about how

What the f*ck?

opportunities.

So that's it? You've not had mates

in?

Jay No. I mean, I know

Why's she going to lie? Hang on.

Her mates done that to her, did

they? She can't get her arse

out the chair to go to the shops!

You think she's going to do this?

Where's she gone? Listen to me.

She's got the energy to do this?

Where is she, Kelly? My mum doesn't

have the energy!

I think she went to the woods.

The woods?! You think she went to

the woods?

You're telling us the truth? Just

calm down, Jay.

Cos if you're lying

All right, babe. Love.

Eh, these are ugly children.

Don't be so bloody rude. They're my

kids.

OK, so how did they shut down

the internet? Uh-uh.

Not how, who.

Hmm. Who, then?

Watch this. I got this off the

traffic feeds.

Mm. Very James Bond of you.

It's publicly available.

Right, so here comes the truck, OK,

into Dambury.

It doesn't come out the other side.

Hmm. Parked?

Or crashed.

Hmm. I feel an investigation coming

on. What was in the truck?

Something that needed cleaning up.

Oh, spill! A secret weapons spill.

Look, I want you to be careful.

Do not go anywhere near that truck.

You know something.

Won't they miss you?

What, at the sheltered accommodation?

I don't think they miss anyone.

Plus, I'm 18. I can do what I like.

Doesn't mean you should.

FAINT VOICE OVER TV: ..investigation.

There's a twinkle in your eye.

You're enjoying this.

No, not at all!

I'm a concerned citizen keeping

a tabs on the authorities.

It's our duty. Mm.

Yeah, all right.

Eh, what they rely on is the death

of curiosity.

Don't ever stop questioning things.

Mm, conspiracies.

Those are the first things you

need to question.

OK. You take feet, I'll take head?

Yeah.

Sorry, Janine.

How deep do we have to dig

the hole?

Deep enough so a fox doesn't dig it

up.

That's the rule. Up there.

We need shovels.

Oh, sh*t. OK.

Let's dump it in the kissing hut

for now.

THEY GROAN

It's OK, Janine.

We're going to get you in, OK?

We're going to get you in.

Nearly there. You're OK.

Over here. Shall we say a prayer?

Police are appealing for any

..as to her whereabouts.

Stef.

International news now

Do you know anyone that's a psycho

granny?

It's not funny, Terry. It's serious.

A what?

It was on the news.

It's going to be the jabs,

the vaccines, isn't it?

They never tested that stuff

properly.

Give the conspiracy sh*t a

break, Terry.

The last thing we need is

another virus.

You have to just sort out that tie.

Hey, I'm sorry, OK? I never

thought

You never do.

Um, I-I-I need I need to go to the

HELICOPTER WHIRS NEARBY

What kind of a problem?

A problem!

Are you OK?

MAN SCREAMS

THEY GROWL, MAN SCREAMS

GROWLING AND SCREAMING

I got the money to fix the car.

Where'd this come from?Saving up

for holiday.

SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY

How'd you do it?

I can barely function andyou're

doing so much for the family

and you're managing to save, as

well.

Don't deserve you.

Shall I come with you? No.

No, stay here in case she turns up.

Right. OK?

I could do that.

Despite this, you need to go to

school.

Thank you, love. Come here.

I am so sorry that I doubted you.

It's all right to cry, love.

I'm sorry.

No, if the car weren't knackered,

I wouldn't have sent you.

It's my fault.

I should've gone meself.

So let me get this straight.

You don't have the drugs, right?

There were two bags, they took one of

them, it's gone. Correct?

They attacked me in the woods.

Right. They attacked you, they took

one bag.

But they left this bag with all your

sh*t in it,

with your pants and your socks or

whatever.

They didn't take that. They just took

the bag

with all the drugs in it.

I say it's an inside job.

Would ya?

Telling me the truth? Yes.

You didn't leave it on the train,

or anything?

What? No.

Do you realise how much sh*t we are

in right now?

It's supposed to be safe and simple

this, man.

Jesus Christ.

Right.

I'm going to phone your pals in

London.

That's what I'm going to have to do.

I'm going to have to phone your pals

in London.

So just stay there and do not move.

Not my pals.

There's 15 people missing from

Sunny Rise Retirement. Mm-hm.

Can't have all disappeared.

Well, did you see that place?

I'd have run a mile.

Yeah.

What is it?I can see someone.

GURGLING NOISES

What are the rules of engagement on

this?

Poor f*ck is infected but also

dangerous,

so we hit them with old less-lethal

shotgun.

Unless you want to wrestle him

to the ground?

Well, we could try talking to him.

Yeah, or we could follow orders.

Jesus, what was in that stuff

they're transporting?

If it was so bloody dangerous,

why was it being transported without

an escort?

Why was it being transported at all?

WHISPERING: Soldiers! Get down!

Oh, brilliant. What? It was a good

shot. Broke his neck.

Certainly smells bad. Malc, it's

not funny. I know.

That's why I'm trying to make it

funny.

You know, it's a coping

mechanism. Psychology.

It's in the town already, isn't it?

Aren't you from there?

My mum, brother and little sister

are.

They're all in Dambury.

Uh

When he came off, I met him.

I met him off the train.

Well Is that necessary?

All right, mate, later.

We should probably have respirators

for this.

Yeah. Well, they didn't arrive in

time, did they?

Could've worn a Mopp suit, though.

Jerome Harris. Yeah.

He's on the list.

Come in, Command. This is two-one.

VOICE OVER RADIO: Two-one, copy.

GROWLING, SCREAMING

Lift his f*cking head up!

Argh! Are you OK?

That is exactly what they told us

not to do.

Agh. Oh, shut up. You got my eyes!

Once you go into isolation on

a job like this, you don't come out.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Oh, yeah?

Um, w-what happened?

Look. What? I don't want to see it!

Is it that old paedo you know in

the nursing home?

He's not a paedo, Stef! f*ck!

Come on.

You start saying stuff like that

and people end up

with their houses burnt. Really?

We have been warned by

the police to watch out

for undesirables on

the school grounds.

It's just perverts again.

That's all you can ever talk about.

We're here for your safety, yeah,

what's going on There's been

a chemical spill. ..if you can't

It was not a paint truck, unless the

colour is f*cking death. Shut up.

WHISPERING: Look, with an axe!

There have been several incidents

in the town over the last 24 hours

involving violent reactions to

a particularly vicious strain

of Covid.

But if you see an elderly person

acting in

an agitated way, contact the police.

The gates are locked.

We have Kelly?

We're here to keep you safe.

What's going on between you two?

What do you mean?

Is she pregnant?

No! No. Where'd you get that from?

be!

There's nothing to worry ab- Hey!

I sorted it.

How?

We hid her. We

We didn't have the shovels

to bury her.

You didn't even bury her?!

What the f*ck?!

Is she just laying around somewhere?

She's cosy.

Yeah, well, you better tell

the police where she is.

But you said

Come on, Charlie.

I covered for you and Stef.

Yeah, thank you so much.

I shouldn't have done that.

My dad is in pieces, and

Well, of course he is.

It's his mum. What do you expect?

And I like reading.

You?

Got caught on the wall.

Saw Kelly and Charlie heading off.

I was too slow to catch them up.

Nolby gave me a detention.

Can she even do that?

I mean, we're sixth formers.

Oh.

What's going on with Kelly

and Charlie?

Why you asking me? I don't know!

All right! You're a bit touchy.

You know stuff, don't you, Finn?

What, like, secret stuff?

Birds and bees?

I know a guy that might have

a video of something.

Really? Is it slimy? Nasty? Kinky?

No Not really.

That arrow thing went right through

her heart and she's OK!

OK-ish.

You know, people are tough, so

Really? Weren't she dead?

HIGH-PITCHED: Kelllllly!

I'm hungryyy.

Let's just let her go.

I mean, this is good, right?

Good? f*cking hell, Kelly.

Me and Stef could go to prison!

Stef shot her. I moved her.

She can't remember anything.

Yeah, but she might.

People do, years later.

It all comes rushing back, don't it?

I mean, let's just get her

comfortable. She seems all right.

Let this virus thing just run

its course.

Right. You just stay here,

before we run out of food.

By food, you mean people.

Yeah, people. Meat.

Does it worry you at all, Frank,

what we're doing, what we've done?

I know in the back of my mind

that this is wrong.

Really insanely wrong.

But I can't help myself,

I can't.

It's like love.

And you know what that feels like,

Cecily.

We're monsters, Frank.

Yes. And I can't see anything wrong

with that.

You're being very mysterious.

Well, what is it you wanna show me?

I hope it's nothing

I have to report to school base.

It's not like that.

Jesus.

OK, someone's being touchy.

Right, come on.

What?

I'm not gonna lie, I did not think

this was gonna be your vibe.

This is my parents' bedroom.

Ah. Cute.

Yeah, I mean, can we go now? Like,

I've got something to show you.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, my mum's got those glasses.

Huh. No way.

Strong return, Serena.

Well, it may look like

I'm following him about.

But I'm not.

See, I'm the one saying yes.

Mm.

Have you been listening

to Clarance Chutt, by chance?

The misogynist internet overlord.

Thought you were better than that.

You should watch Macy Ping's

takedown of him.

Macy Ping?

You know you should really send

this in to redpillage.com.

It's like proper proof.

Proof of what?

Well, this, is it?

It's here. The plague.

Oh, f*ck.

Yeah, f*ck indeed.

Question is,

what are we gonna do about it?

What can we do?

Well, that's the woman from

the news, right?

What, yeah. Jane Tailor.

We need to find this Jane.

This is our responsibility now.

Responsibility for what?

Really, I should tell the police.

No. I don't trust the Met.

We're 100 miles from London.

We need to find out more

and then post it up on Red Pillage,

and then let the internet

sort it out.

Let's start at her house.

Facebook.

I bet all of her sh*t's on there.

We're gonna cyber d*uche her.

FAINT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE

SHE YELPS

HELICOPTER BLADES WHIR

She looks older than her photo.

That's not her. It's her mum.

Or, her lover.

Oh. I know.

What's she up to?

It's not that unusual,

is it?

Why is everything

so suspicious to you?

Why did Kelly and Charlie go off

together and why do you care?

Oh, because Because

Why? Because they're back together?

Or because you love Kelly

Oh, you ..or Charlie, or both.

You don't know what's going on.

I do. It's obvious.

Why is it obvious?

It's obvious to me, but then I am

more advanced than you emotionally.

Oh, yeah, OK. Oh, of course.

Stop Sherlocking me,

it's irritating.

You asked her out and she said no.

f*ck. How'd you know that?

I didn't, but I guess I do now.

What you doing?

Get down.

You spill your guts so easily, Stef.

Keep up.

I'm trying to.

But you're all off at angles.

Yeah. It's called conversation.

No, that's more,

"How was your holidays?" "Did you

sleep all right last night?"

Well, go on, baby talk.

You don't know me.

Maybe it takes someone outside

your group

to see through your very poorly

drawn veil.

Oh, so you're a big edgy outsider,

are you? Yeah, a maverick.

You're an outsider for a reason.

You're weird.

Because I'm an orphan

in sheltered accommodation?

You are triggering me, Stef.

Whoa. I didn't say that.

Are you orphanist?

No. What's that?

You think I'm Harry Potter and I'm

forced to live under some stairs?

Is that what happens in

Harry Potter?
