In the Flesh (2013–2014): Season 2, Episode 2 - Episode #2.2 - full transcript

Now in possession of the late vicar Oddie's register of the PDS sufferers Maxine imposes a travel ban, scuppering Kieren's plan to move to France, as she also withdraws his citizenship for six months after which he must reapply. The PDS are given community work, to repay society, and Kieren and Simon have to help build a perimeter fence. Simon asks Kieren to an Undead party, where he hopes to build up the UDL but Kieren is put off by its violence and the fact that the party-goers are high on sheep's brains. Amy has also been acting oddly and tells Dr Russo that she has been on home-made medication whilst at the commune. Shirley's son Philip has a fetish about PDS women and visits a brothel where he asks a girl to pretend to be Amy. At school Jem's past as a member of the HVF makes her a heroine but when a classmate temporarily regresses into becoming a rabid after taking Blue Obliv pills Jem fails to kill him and is reviled as a coward. She joins her fellow HVF colleague Gary, who wants Maxine to revive the force, and they head to the woods where, in the dark, Jem shoots a PDS sufferer who turns out to be her admirer Henry.

I'm Maxine Martin.
MP for Roarton Valley, newly elected.

WOMAN: Something has got
to be done about those things.

I couldn't agree with you more,
Sandra.

- Made lots of new friends?
- Yeah.

Made loads of them.

Why do you think I came back
from the dead in t'first place?

It's so me and Jem Walker can be
together.

- You 're incredibly special.
- That so?

You rose in Roarton, for starters.
That's monumental.

Simon is one of the 72 disciples
of the Undead Prophet.

You heard
of the liberation movement, Kieren?



The goddess Ishtar.

Why would she
want the parish records?

I think she might
be more switched on

than the last one that came up, sir.

We are the Undead.
We are the redeemed. Got it?

It's who you are, Kieren,

and running away won't change that.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Jemima! Breakfast!

(SIGHS)

(FRENCH-STYLE ACCORDION MUSIC)

It wasn't my idea.

It was mine.

What the fuck?

Special farewell meal for your brother.

How are you feeling?

Excited, nervous, all at the same time.

Mm. Bet you're gonna miss all this.

Here we go. Bon app?tit.

- Er...Dad.
- Oh, yeah.

Eggy bread?

French toast,
traditional Gallic breakfast.

I dread to think how much cholesterol

- there is in these things.
- Bit of butter never hurt anyone.

Tell that to Vicar Oddie, love.

What are they putting that on for?

It's what he would have wanted,

just in case second Rising
happens and he pops up.

As if.

It's a very sensible measure.

Second Rising's coming. Read your Bible.

(SHUFFLING FOOTSTE PS)

The night you rose isn't anything to be
ashamed of, Frankie.

Sorry, it's just...my mum and dad
don't like me talking about it.

It's OK. Hey.

Take your time.

I mean, I remember bits and pieces,
just...most of it's a bit hazy.

You don't remember actually rising?

Well, I remember it being, um...
I remember hearing thunder...

- (CLICK)
- ...you know?

- (HE GASPS)
- And cracks of lightning.

Thank you. It was a wild night,
wasn't it?

Yeah, I mean, I know
other, um...redeemed get flashbacks,

but, yeah, I don't get those much.

- Mm.
- I'm sorry.

Hey, no worries.

You did great.

Thanks for trying.

- (DOOR SHUTS)
- Is she special?

She rose in Roarton.

Special as me?

(CHUCKLES) Are you going somewhere?

I'm gonna try and stop
a certain Roarton riser from leaving.

Oh, you tell him he doesn't have to leave.

We're gonna change things around here.

He's important.

Course he's important. He's my BDFF.

Hm.

Best dead friend forever.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Oh, yeah. So, what does that make me?

Makes you...

something else, Mr Disciple.

- You got your passport?
- Yeah.

And the map to your accommodation?

Yeah. No, I've got it all, Mum.
I...I've double-checked.

Right, I'll stop fussing.

OK.

(KISS)

- Call the minute you land.
- Yeah, I will, Dad.

- Reviens bientot.
- Check her out.

What's it mean?

Come back soon.

Don't worry. Your brother's got
a habit of popping back, doesn't he?

(BIRDSONG)

Freds?

All right, mate?

You all right?

- What you doing?
- Nothing, nothing. I was just, er...

Here you go, Freddie. Here's your cash.

For doing my windows.

You what? We're washing windows together.

I can't afford the both of you,
but I can afford him.

Haley's pressuring me about bills,
mate.

I've got no choice but to do
a few extra solo jobs.

Dean!

Mate!

- All agreed?
- Do we have any choice in the matter?

Of course you do, Councillor Lancaster.

I'm all for local government.
The smaller the better, I say.

Parish councils should
keep running the show.

But I think you'll find this is
a national policy

that will suit you down to the ground.

Sounds good to me,

and I think this new measure is necessary
in light of recent events.

Councillor Wilson? Your thoughts?

Yes, I agree.

Excellent.

Meeting adjourned.

Miss Martin?

I just wanted to thank you
for promoting me to councillor.

Not at all. Work hard and who knows?

One day I could be calling you
my Right Honourable Friend.

I was thinking last night
about my new position

and I jotted down some suggestions
for future measures.

Wonderful.

Philip, would you make sure

everyone on this list is attending
the kickoff seminar this morning?

Thank you. Great help.

Thank you, sir.

I mean...yes, madam.

Not going on a day trip
without me, are you?

Not a day trip this time, partner.

You know there's a lot of French
people where you're going?

- Yeah, I'm aware of that.
- I hear they're terribly rude.

That's just a myth.
Don't believe everything you hear.

What's Roarton gonna do without your
handsome face to brighten up their day?

- I'm sure they'll manage.
- Not so sure.

Now Vicar Oddie's croaked, that MP
from Victus is in charge. Boo, hiss.

Even more reason to get out of this place.

Please stay.

Why don't you come with me, Amy?

How many layers of cover-up mousse
did you put on this morning?

Do you think if you go
to a different country,

you'll be able to take off
one of those layers?

How many miles will you have to travel, to
be able to take it all off, Kieren Walker?

I've got to get my ticket.

Er...single to the airport, please.

You Partially Deceased?

Yeah.

I can't sell you a ticket.
You're gonna have to wait here.

What?

- It's out of my hands.
- No. Hey!

Hey, no. Hey. Hello?

Philip?

What's going on?

I'm gonna have to ask you to come
with me.

Why?

Well?

All PDS sufferers are required
to come to the village hall

for the kickoff seminar this morning.

Kickoff seminar?
No, I...I've got to get my train.

Well, you're not gonna be able
to get a train today. I'm sorry.

Everything'll be explained
at the village hall.

(KIEREN SIGHS)

(IN DISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, Jem, saved you a seat.

Thanks.

OK...

Picking up where we left off last time.

These two gentlemen are... Yeah?

- Victor Halperin and john Weston.
- Mm-hm.

- Who...
- Invented Neurotriptyline.

Yeah, which was important because...

It was THE key turning point
in the history of the Rising.

- Sir?
- Yes, Henry?

What about the formation
of the Human Volunteer Force?

(MUTTERING)

Are you sure you want to talk about
the Human Volunteer Force, Henry?

It's an important part of history.
Why is it not in the book?

Cos this book were written
by a bunch of southern tarts.

(LAUGHTER)

OK, OK, OK.

- (SNIGGERS)
- All right, Henry, go for it.

I just remember bits and pieces.
Reckon you should ask someone else, like.

- Like who?
- Like Jem Walker.

How would she know about it?

Cos she was IN
the Human Volunteer Force.

- (CHATTER)
- No, she wasn't.

- Is that true?
- Calm down.

(CHATTER FADES)

Would you like to stand up and share
your experience with the class?

(CHAIR SCRAPES)

(SIGHS)

What do you want to know?

(LOW CHATTER)

(CLEARS THROAT) What's going on?
Why won't you tell us why we're here?

- This is against our basic human rights.
- OTHERS: Yeah.

What am I doing here, Lippy?

Seriously, man, this isn't right,
putting me in here with this lot.

It's a disgrace.
I'm missing my bridge game.

I demand compensation from the council!

This DVD should answer
most of your burning questions.

Oh, yeah, right(!))

- (MUTTERING)
- Get on with it, then.

- (UPBEAT MUSIC)
- Oh, my God!

MAXINE: Partially Deceased Syndrome
sufferers

are now back with their families,
enjoying a new beginning.

But what now?

WOMAN: I'd like to see PDS sufferers

helping the communities
they once destroyed.

MAN: I'd like to see PDS sufferers

help to rebuild British businesses
they once tore apart.

Is this a joke, Lippy?

I'm a PDS sufferer and I'd like to
give something back to society.

MAXINE: Giving something back
to the society they once ravaged...

- (AUDIENCE MUTTERS)
- ---it's what everyone wants,

living and PDS alike.

That's why the Department
of Partially Deceased Affairs

is putting into action the PDS
Give Back Scheme, an initiative

that requires all PDS sufferers to go out
into their local communities and volunteer

- in the private and public sector.
- Outrageous!

As PDS sufferers give back,
we 'll give back to them too.

On completion of the enterprise,

PDS sufferers will have a chance to apply
for re-citizenship to the United Kingdom.

Working together, we can build a safer,
civilised future.

(AUDIENCE MUTTERS)

I'm sure you're all very excited
and itching to get to it.

(MUTTERING AND GASPING)

(SCOFFS) You've got to be kidding me.

- No way. Not doing that.
- Not doing that, no.

Why do I have to do this scheme,
Lippy?

Because of who you are, Freddie.

I'm a small business owner, mate.

You're also a PDS sufferer.

My name's Connie Furness.

I don't know why I'm on this list.
I don't know why I'm here.

Er...I can't do this scheme.

Are you a child or severely disabled?

No.

If you're 18 and able-bodied,

all PDS sufferers must complete
the PDS Give Back Scheme.

I need to be at the airport.
I've got a plane to catch.

Can I see your passport?

This is invalid.

No. No, it's not.
I...I got it renewed a month ago.

Did you put down
on your passport application

that you're Partially Deceased?

No, there wasn't a question
like that on the form.

(SIGHS) Then you were given
an outdated form, I'm afraid.

Did you get it at Roarton post office?

They're in the Dark Ages over there,
aren't they?

I can see that you're confused.

The new passport application form
has a section for PDS sufferers

and asks whether or not
you have your certificate.

What's that? How do I get a certificate?

By completing the PDS Give Back Scheme.

One question, Kieren. I have
your birth date and your death date,

but I don't have your time of rising.

- Sorry? My time of...
- The time you rose from your grave.

I...I don't know.

Thank you, Kieren. That's a great help.

I'm sure you're gonna be a great help
to your community. Good luck.

That was my first mission.

What, so that's why no-one lives
up at Lambert Farm any more?

Yeah, it's scary there.

- Any other questions for our war hero?
- How many rotters did you shoot?

- Cut it out.
- Pkow!

Excuse me.

How many Partially Deceased Syndrome
sufferers in their untreated state

did you shoot?

- (LAUGHTER)
- (SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

Show-and-tell tomorrow. Bring in
an object from the Rising. Hilary?

No weapons, please.

Bye-bye. Thanks.

Hey, that was cool as shit.

Oh.

This is Hilary and Charlotte,
and I'm Karen.

Hi, I'm Jem.

Do you want to hang out with us at lunch?

Yeah, sure.

Kieren's gonna be all right, love. It's
good for him to go somewhere new.

He said he'd call when he got
to the airport, didn't he?

He said he'd call when he landed,
love.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Kieren?

Did you ever almost get bit, Jem?

- A few times.
- Awesome. Tell us.

Well, once when I were on this supply
mission, I only had one bullet left,

and this...PDS sufferer...

- You can use the R-word, you know.
- Yeah, you don't have to be scared.

- This rabid...
- You mean rotter.

It comes out of nowhere,
its teeth snapping at my neck,

and I'm like, "Fucking shit!

"I'm a goner."

I've got one bullet left. I can't miss.

So, I cock the hammer,
close my eyes and fire...

...and its fucking head explodes.

- You are so badass.
- Where were this?

Roarton.

- No. Where in Roarton?
- The Save'n'Shop.

Um... Jem?

I was wondering if you had a partner
for the show-and-tell tomorrow.

Cos if you didn't...

Jem was just telling us all the heroic
stuff she did during the Rising.

What were you doing
during the Rising, Henry?

I don't have a show-and-tell partner yet,

- and I was thinking...
- I'm Jem's partner.

Really?

Yeah, isn't that right, Jem?

Yeah, OK.

- Oh. Right.
- Bye, then!

Do you know that walking corpse?

He were in my year before the Rising.

Were you guys mates?

Oh, my God! You were boning?

No, we were 14. We just...

- Boned.
- We kissed at the school disco.

Then boned.

He's a sweet guy.

Need...to...

- bone...Jem!
- (GIRLS LAUGH)

To hell with the living, mate.

Undead and proud.

Yeah, suppose.

- Soon, they'll be on their knees.
- Oh, here we go.

Once the second Rising happens,

it's the final countdown...

You've been watching
too many Undead Prophet videos, Rob.

You need to be careful, mate.

Find out you've been on that website,
they're carting you back to Norfolk.

They might be carting me back anyway.

No way. Have you got 'em?

- What you gonna do with that?
- Scare this place half to death.

(HOOVER ON)

(HOOVER OFF)

You shouldn't have...

...gone to all the trouble.

(SIGHS) It's no bother, Miss Martin.

(CHUCKLES) Maxine.

Housekeeping comes included.

I'll have to assign you a PDS Give Back
participant to the B&B. Lighten your load.

This to do with the scheme?

I'll leave you be.

Any joy. Steve?

Mm, it does look like you need
one of these certificates.

Oh, God.

Well, does it say how long you need to be
on it until you can get one?

It doesn't say. Oh, hang on.

The PDS Give Back Scheme
is a nationwide initiative.

Er...blah-di-blah-di-blah.

After a period of six months
on the enterprise,

a PDS Give Back participant will have his
or her case evaluated by a panel of...

Six months. Six months, looks like.

(SCOFFS) Six months?

It's not that long
in the grand scheme of things.

I mean, time is on your side, son.

Yeah, your...
your dad's right about that, Kier.

And you get to hang out more
with your mate Amy.

Yes, very good point, Jem.

Just have to put up with this loser
for a little bit longer.

That's not why I wanted to go. I...

It's this place.

You know? I...

Yeah, I know, love. I know.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

- Not too late, Jem. It's a school night.
- Yeah, yeah.

You know, when I said come back soon,
I didn't mean immediately, dickhead.

(DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)

Hiya.

Folks aren't happy
about this new scheme, Philip.

Oh, I don't know, Mum.

I think she's talking
quite a bit of sense.

How can you say that?

A son of mine siding with those
flipping fanatics.

She's not a fanatic.

She's our elected MP.

And doesn't she have any other
constituents in Roarton Valley?

Well, I, for one, am happy
she's decided to stick around.

There are other things in life
than the greasy pole, Philip.

Like what, Mum?

Oh, I don't know.
Go to college. Meet new people.

Not this again.

I won't be around for ever, love.

You need to find a nice girl
who'll take care of you.

Saying that...
Don't get grumpy, Philip.

What? Why?

What have you done, Mum?

Come and have a look. Come on.

(SHE CHUCKLES)

Oh, what?!

You've been getting
quite a few hits, love.

Tracy from town seems very keen.

She's given you
four puppy paws out of five!

You're signing me up to a dating
website without even telling me?

Well, I'm a councillor now!
What are you playing at, Mum?

Well, I'm just concerned.
You look so lonely sometimes.

I...I had to take steps.

Come on, sit down. We can finish
your personal statement together.

Oh, Philip!

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

(BUZZER)

WOMAN: Password?

The goddess Ishtar.

(BUZZER)

(LOUD MUSIC)

You wanting
the full girlfriend experience again?

- If you have time.
- I have all the time in the world.

Same get-UP?

(CHEWING AND SLURPING)

- What's up?
- Nothing.

I?ll just...I?ll just wait for you
while you get the booze.

Don't know which cider's the strongest.
Come on.

Oh, here we go.

I know Hell's Oak has got
the highest percentage

but it gives me rank hangovers.

Are you OK?

(GASPS) Yeah, I'm fine. Come on.

This'll get us battered.

Hiya, sweetheart. How was your day?

Hi, Amy.

(TUTS) Philly...

You've rented our special film.

I'm worried about him, Simon. You should
have seen his little face today.

Ah, it's for the best.
I'll talk to him tomorrow.

- Mr Disciple?
- Yes?

What's going to happen?

When?

When we've gathered everyone.

I'm not sure.

What did the Prophet say?

He said...

He said, "Go to the place where
the first rose, and seek them out."

Nothing else?

Nothing else.

(GASPS)

Shh. Amy.

Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy.

Shh. It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

Shh. Amy, Amy. Hey, hey, hey.

(GASPING SUBSIDES)

It's OK.

It's OK.

You had me worried there.

My...big, strong knight...

...in shining armour.

Oh.

What's wrong?

- Hey?
- Nothing, silly.

Such a worrywart.

(DOOR CREAKS)

JEM: Oh, I can't decide which one
to take to class tomorrow.

Go with the medal.

- You reckon?
- You're a war hero, after all.

Did you ever hesitate?

- When?
- On one of your missions.

(CHEWING AND SLURPING)

No.

I'm not a coward.

I didn't say you were.
They wouldn't give medals to cowards.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

- JEM: Don't you knock?
- I did knock.

Hello.

- (SIGHS) Charlotte, this is my brother.
- Hey.

What?

Oh, er...my spare cover-up mousse.
You can have it back.

Why would I want your...

I...I don't use your...stuff.

- I know you do, Jem.
- I don't, Kier.

I know you use it on your spots.
Better than any foundation, you said.

Get out.
Get out of my room, Kier.

Your brother's Partially Deceased?

He's medicated.
Don't tell the others, will you?

He got taken to the treatment centre
in Norfolk?

Just after the Rising.

Lucky you.
You got your brother back for ever.

Yeah, lucky me(!)

You are lucky, Jem.

Yeah, I know I am.

(# KEATON HENSON: Flesh And Bone)

# And I am alone

# So don't speak

# I find war and I find peace

# I find no heat

# No love in me

# Ana' I am low and unwell

# This is love

# This is hell

# This sweet plague that follows me

# Ana' my body's weak

# Feel my heart giving up on me... #

Time for your breakfast, Mum.

Mum? Your breakfast.

# ...And my body's weak

# Feel my lungs giving up on me

# Something my soul needs

# Something my soul needs

# Something my soul needs... #

Late.

Morning, Commandant.

I'm not... Don't call me that, please.

- That to keep us in check?
- It's in case of a rabid attack.

Good luck with that.

(FENCE RATTLES)

Can I help?

If you want.

You know, in ancient Egypt,

the Pharaohs used to make the Israelites
build their own slave quarters.

What does that make you?
Modern-day Moses?

Well, I have been known
to part the waters.

Granted, it was a paddling pool at the
time, but, you know, baby steps.

Hey.

It's all right.

We all have our scars.

What did you take?

The A-Z of the periodic table.

Why so much?

Mm, at the time,
I thought, "Why the hell not?"

Ever been so depressed

it felt as if every nerve-ending in your
body was exposed, red and raw?

If I took enough chemicals, it would
dampen down those feelings a bit.

Why were you so depressed?

The way I was wired, I guess.

Chose a day I could think.

I'd had this idea in my head.

This piercing notion that life
was completely meaningless.

Me and everyone else
were just treading water

until our bodies gave out
and we sank back into the darkness.

When you feel like that 24/7,

you might as well
get fucked up beyond belief...

...cos you don't believe
in anything in the first place.

Do you still feel that way?

No.

Not any more.

That MP lass told me to come up here.

Yeah, I've got a, um...
doctor's appointment.

I need to make sure
they carry on working,

I need to guard against rabids.

I can do that. They all here?

Yeah, except one. Amy Dyer.

Where's she?

Keeps doing that on its own.

What dose are you on, Amy?

Um...I'm not...I'm not sure.

Let's see.

It says here your last prescription
was written almost a year ago.

What have you been doing since then?

I was away.

But obviously you were still taking
Neurotriptyline while you were away?

Sort of.

Sort of? I don't understand.

The place I went to, they...

...made their own stuff.

They made their own Neurotriptyline?

No wonder you've been
getting side effects.

I'm gonna write you a prescription
for the real stuff, 150 milligrams.

(CLICKS PEN)

And I'm gonna take a sample, send it to
the lab, just to put your mind at rest.

Home-made Neurotriptyline?

(scoffs)

Now I've heard everything.

Hello.

Um...I'm just here for a regular checkup.

- Nothing STD-related.
- Whatever.

So, you're back?

Yeah.So?

So...

welcome back.

Pee's leaking.

Oh, shit.

Tonight.

Up at the farmhouse.

Undead only. Come as you are,
in the clothes you were buried in.

- What's all this?
- We're having a break.

I never said you could.

I said they could.

You've got five minutes
then back to work.

And you, get a bib.

So, this is our lot from now on?

Jesus Christ.

Not for ever. We only have to do
the scheme for six months.

- What gave you that idea?
- Well, it says on the website.

All our cases will be
reviewed in six months.

Yeah, and then they'll add another six
months and then another six months

and then another six months after that.

Those certificates they promise?

They don't exist.

No-one's ever gonna be re-citizenised.

It's a scam.

- How do you take Blue Obliv?
- You snort it.

- Why don't you do it?
- They're not mine.

Henry?

You were the one
who wanted to shit up school.

- What if I don't turn back?
- Well, they wear off, you fool.

I heard different. I heard
once you turn rabid, you stay rabid.

- Who said that?
- Katherine Straw.

Katherine Straw?

She believes there's vampires
and werewolves roaming about Wales.

She's tapped, man.

(SNIFFS) just sniff a quarter of it...

...then you turn back sooner
and the effects won't be as intense.

Do it, do it.

BOTH: Do it, do it, do it, do it!
Do it, do it!

Do it.

(SNIFFS)

I don't feel anything.

Maybe you should...

- (ROARS)

(GROWLS)

(BLADE SCRAPES)

What did I say about weaponry,
Hilary?

It's an historical artefact, Mr Overton.

All right, everyone, let's begin.

Who's gonna kick us off?

Charlotte.

(CHAIR SCRAPES)

I've got something to say...

...and I've been wanting to say it
for a long time now.

This was my dad.

- He's trying to get into 2B!
- What we gonna do?

- Jem can stop it.
- No-one is going out of this room.

Jem's taken down 100 rabids before,
right?

- (SCREAMING)
- (GROWLING)

I don't have a gun.

Do it.

You're the badass.

You've done it before.

- He's back! He's back!

(SOBS)

She's crying. Somebody just let her in!

Let her in now!

There's your war hero.

It's gonna take weeks for those
PSD... PDS...what's their names to...

You can speak freely in here, Gary.

It's gonna take weeks
for them rotters to build that fence.

Till then we're completely exposed.

And what do you suggest?

A patrol, paid.

Believe me, I'd like to. But I'm bound by
the constraints of the parish council.

What's it gonna take for this place to
wake up, eh? A second bloody Rising?

God forbid.

(SIGHS)

Say we were to pay you overtime

for guarding the Give Back participants
in the woods.

Aye?

And say you were to do it even if the
Give Back participants weren't there.

- So, I'd be patrolling?
- Supervising.

So, when I'm supervising
these invisible rotters...

...can I do it with proper firepower?

- (PHONE RINGS)
- I'll leave that to your better judgment.

Lieutenant.

Maxine Martin.

OK, I'll be there immediately.

There's been a rabid attack
on Roarton Valley High School.

This was my dad.

His name was Richard.

He was a person
who rose during the Rising...

...and on February 5th you murdered him
in Roarton supermarket.

They gave you a medal
and called you a hero?

But you're not!

You're a coward,
and everyone saw that today!

(CLATTER)

I'm not gonna be sent to Norfolk, am I?

Depends if you co-operate.

(WHISPERS) Plead the Fifth.
Plead the Fifth.

- (WHISPERS) What's the Fifth?
- Well, I don't know.

It's what they say in t'movies
when they don't want to say anything.

- Are you the ringleader?
- HENRY: What?

No. I mean...

I plead the Fifth.

Where did you get these?

You can open your mouth and go free

or you can stay silent.

I can call Norfolk and have the men
in white coats come pick you up.

- I got the pills from a website.
- Which website?

Undead Prophet.

Of course you did.

Write down the web address and any
passwords I might need to access it.

Good.

I'm just glad no-one was hurt.

It easily could have been. When it was
happening, I had no-one to call for help.

No emergency services,
no police force, nothing.

Since the HVF was disbanded,
we're completely exposed.

We need protecting,
Miss Martin, we really do.

- Oh! (LAUGHS)
- Where did you get to?

- Out and about.
- Yeah?

It's been a long day.

- Oh, yeah? Come here.
- Mm.

- (SHE GIGGLES)
- Mm.

- Ready to let your hair down, I see?
- Yeah.

- Did you invite Kieren?
- I did.

Is he coming?

I think he will.

- Want to give me a hand?
- Yeah.

Ey up.

Got some new Blu-rays.

Thinking we could pop some popcorn on,
do a binge.

- I can't. I'm going out.
- Oh?

- Where are you off?
-just out, Dad.

Why are you still wearing that? Halloween
was in October, Britney Spears!

Hey, come on, hop in.

(DOOR CREAKS)

I just...I just froze.

Yeah, we've all been there.
I did, didn't I?

- No, you never.
- I bloody well did. You've forgot.

Lambert Farm.

Our first mission.

Oh, pure petrified that day.

I went all funny in my head, like this...

I had all this tightness in my skull.

I thought, "I can't do this,

"I just can't," and then...

...then I looked back at you...

I looked back at you and you were so...

This 14-year-old lass,
so calm and focused.

You know, you saved my arse
countless times that day.

Best fighter I ever fought with.

(KISS)

So, you're back on patrol, then?

Aye, in so many words.

That MP lass gave me the nod.
She's sound, actually.

Oh. And I get to carry one of these.

My Colt!

I bought that off
the lad you pawned it to.

That's a piece of history, that,
Soldier.

Deserved to be in the right hands.

Come on. Time to strap on the brass.

(LOUD DANCE MUSIC)

(WHOOPING AND CHEERING)

- Kieren Walker!
- Hey, Henry.

I'm gonna be your brother-in-law!
Brother.

I made this bracelet for your sister,
you know. Jem, I'm gonna marry her.

You know. I know she peed her pants
but I think it's sweet, you know.

She's not perfect. Who is, you know?
No-one. No-one's perfect, you know?

Soz. He's off his head. Come on.

(WHOOPING AND LAUGHTER)

You came!

- Yeah.
- Ooh! You look bloody more-geous!

You don't look too bad yourself!

Mwah! I love you, Kieren Walker!

Not like that, cos I know you're not like
that, but a love that's greater than that!

I love you too, Amy!

You're my BDFF!

I've no idea what that means!
Are you OK?

I'm great.

Why is everyone so, er...up?

We've all had
a teensy-weensy bit of brains.

- Brains?
- Don't look like that, handsome.

Sheep's brains.

Why are you eating brains?

Cos they make you feel amazing!

They're not human brains, anyway,
just sheep's brains. Do you want some?

- Er...I'll pass.
- Mm.

Um...where's Simon?

By the campfire.

Do you like him?

Say you like him! He's my future husband!

You have to like him!
I demand you like him!

He's all right, yeah.
I need to talk to him.

Come on!

- You remember the night?
- Yeah.

As clear as a bell.

I remember waking up in my coffin,

digging through the dirt
and bursting through the earth.

Was there anyone else there
when you rose?

Simon! Kieren's here.

He was there when I rose.

Really?

- I remember the denim jacket.
- You remember me from where?

You came.

- Yeah.
- Well, I'm glad.

Er...can I talk to you? Er...in private?

I'm gonna go in search for more wood
for this incredible fire.

- (LAUGHS)
- Don't go too far, Amy.

I'll be fine.

(CREATURE SCREECHES)

You don't have to come with me
if you don't feel up to it.

I'm up to it.

Jem!

Jem!

- Henry!
- I'm going home.

I thought you guys could do stuff
like that. I've got the money.

It's got nothing to do
with the money, Kieren.

Look, when I was a kid, I used to dream of
escaping to the US.

I'd grown up with all the American movies

and I thought if I got there I'd...

...somehow be happier.

I eventually did.

When I was 21, I got to the States.

(SIGHS) And after a week, the stardust
rubbed off and I was miserable again.

You understand?

Amy told me what happened to you.

What happened to Bill Macy.

What happened with Rick Macy.

You said to her once that you thought
you could change things around here.

I'd like to.

There's just nothing for me here.

There's your family.

There's Amy.

There's me.

(TWIG SNAPS)

(GROWLING)

I heard it! It's through here!

Jem!

Jem, be careful!

(# EMILY AND THE WOODS: Never Play)

(PANTS)

# Never play by the stairs

# You're bound to fall down

# Never play by the hillside

# You might slip and break your crown

# Never play by the fire... #

Time's up, Freddie. Sorry, mate-

Two months, we said, when you came
back from the treatment centre-

Haley, do you want him gone or not?

# You might fall and break yourself

#Ah, ah, ah--. #

KIEREN: What are you doing with Amy?
She thinks the two of you are involved.

I don't lead people on.

SIMON: Why don't you break free?
Why don't you show yourselves?

Because when you do,
you're not gonna want to go back.

You're gonna be the future.

# ...Never play by the river

# You might tumble in and drown... #

I want to go and tell what] did.

Henry didn't grieve over his kills.
Why should you?

# Get filthy, dirty and brown... #

GARY: You'd be amazed
at what I could do to your sort,

and what you can do sod all about.
