Fortitude (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

Well, it's the beginnings
of a pattern.

And Shirley attacked

and attempted
to kill her mother.

We don't see that happen.

It's psychotic.

We're only looking
for a body now.

The toxins accumulate

in apex predators.

Shirley Allerdyce
was an apex predator.

Frank!
Oh, my God.

If I don't get the truth,
they'll take Liam.



Who was there when Bill Pettigrew died?
Come on, Henry.

You'll have to accept

Elena!

What?

Are you... Oh.

Midnight Sun Hotel.
How can I help you?

Yeah, hello. I'm trying
to get hold of DCI Morton.

Do you know
where he is?

He's out.

If you see him,
could you tell him...

Tell him to call
his office.

Of course. Of course I will.
Thank you. Bye.

Shh, shh.

Would you like me
to take you to the medical center?



Shh, shh, shh, shh.

You called the police?

Is that why
you're here?

No. I wanted
to make sure you're okay.

Not okay.
I know that...

Well, I'm not okay,
Mrs. Sutter.

I'm very far from okay.

When someone behaves
the way your husband did, though...

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh...

Consequences
are inevitable.

He's all right,
isn't he?

I don't know.

I don't know.

So tech department

have enhanced
this GPR scan,

and you won't believe
what Pettigrew found.

Those squiggly lines
are bones,

animal remains,
and tusks,

an elephant's graveyard
of mammoth beasts,

a hoard of ivory
underneath the ice

worth a bloody fortune.

So call me
when you surface.

They're here.

Thank you for coming.

Please have a seat.

I want to talk to you
about something

that affects Liam very much.

Liam?

What I'm about to say
is sensitive,

so I need your word that you
won't talk about this to anyone.

Okay.

It's been suggested
that there are

some kind of
environmental toxins on this island,

and it may be possible

that Liam's
been affected.

Now, we want to see

if there are any of
these toxins in Liam's brain,

and in order
to do that,

we need to take
a little fluid from his spine.

No, I'm sorry.
I don't think he's ready for that, not now.

As I understand it,

it's not
a complicated procedure.

It's over
in a couple of minutes.

I know how difficult
this must be.

How?

How would
you know that, Governor?

We need to understand
what made Liam

attack
Professor Stoddart.

Because it may still
be affecting him.

He may not be getting
any better.

If we found
that a chemical

had altered
Liam's behavior,

then that
would change everything.

It would mean
that what happened

wasn't Liam's fault.

I am here
to see Shirley.

The medical center
said she was here.

Why was she moved?

We needed to perform
some tests.

This place is
for animals.

I'm sorry.

I need to see her.

Der na.

Min stakkars
vakker.

Postmortems are
usually performed

on the victim of a crime,
not the perpetrator.

These were
exceptional circumstances.

I can tell you now

there was
no violence in Shirley,

none at all.

What happens when
you are finished?

She's released
to the family.

There is only
her mother.

Then I don't know.

No one seems to.

What were you
whispering about?

Whispering?

You and Dan were

earlier today.

Yes. Um...

What was it?

Dan thinks...

that we have to
be prepared for the worst.

What?

Is it your father's?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry, Carrie.

No. Just get off of me.

Don't say that!

He's not dead!
He's not!

My dad wouldn't leave me!
He's coming home!

Carrie.

Carrie.

Open the door, please.

Carrie.

Liam, this is
gonna hurt a bit, okay?

Won't be for long.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

It's okay.
It's okay.

Good boy.

It's okay.

Breathe.

Shh.

Hold still,
sweetie.

It's nearly over.

Stay still.

Just breathe.

Keep still.

Keep still.

Thanks.

That's all.

Nearly there.

How's it look?

They're negative.

Absolutely no trace
of PFAs in Liam's system.

Shirley's levels
are through the roof.

Yep. Well, maybe it
was her diet,

maybe how long
she's lived here.

Maybe children process
PFAs differently.

I don't know.

I don't know enough.

We hurt a little boy.

Well, this is
something we've eliminated.

We move on.

We rerun the data

with a different set
of search criteria.

Yep.

I need some air.

Daddy's home.

Hanna, don't
drag your bag.

Jason.

Jase?

Where's daddy?

He's... He's out.

Go and get the rest
of the stuff out the car, love.

Jason!

Baby.

What happened?

What do you think
you're doing?

That sound he made.

Mr. Sutter.

Sounded like an animal
caught in a trap.

I can't imagine
being a dad

and having to submit
your own child to pain like that.

I'm just not...

What?

I came here to
do research for my PhD,

not inject children

and witness
a murder and...

Liam Sutter
had an illness...

and was seen
by Dr. Allerdyce.

Then Shirley
attacked her mom.

So what if the doctor
is the link,

there's a communicable
infection, a contagion,

and the doctor
is the agent?

Vincent, we've got
their blood.

Come and help me.

Antibody profiles.

Same antibodies,
same infection.

I'll catch up.

Where did all this
happen, Jason?

Please tell me.

Were you in a fight?

Were you drinking?

Jason...

No! No!

I'm gonna
ring Ciaran, okay?

Once I was you...

a long time ago.

You know, the worst part
of being in prison,

it wasn't...

it wasn't
just being in prison.

The worst part was...

waking up,

like if I still
was stabbing.

And it was like
it was alive.

I couldn't control it.

I would freeze...

and stay there for...

hours.

Because I would
become aware,

you know, all the things

that I lost...

my family, my friends,

my... myself.

I wouldn't be
the same anymore.

Again...

just because
of one moment.

You know, just because
of a single moment.

When my dad used
to come home from training,

he would have
loads of bruises,

so my mom would give him
some frozen peas.

What were you
talking about just then?

My memories.

We've established
that both Liam's blood

and Shirley's blood
both contain

the identical type E
immunoglobin isotypes.

This means they had
a similar infection.

What kind of infection?

Type E is the body's
first line of defense

against
invasive pathogens.

Anything
from tapeworms to...

viruses.

Are we looking
at a virus here?

We don't know.

But could a virus cause
this psychotic behavior?

I got thick skin.

God damn it.

Sorry.

Have you
been drinking?

So, Natalie,

how would something
like this spread?

Blood, saliva,
sneeze, cough.

So by now,
everyone in Fortitude

could be infected.

And slides
and slides...

We're talking
about the town doc.

Mom! The door!

Her daughter sold
everyone their food.

I can't keep
the island open.

We have to contain
any virus, infection,

whatever the hell
this is.

You're suggesting
we tell everyone

there's a contagious disease here,
but that they can't leave?

800 armed civilians
and four police officers.

All right, we announce
a rabies quarantine.

It's a normal procedure.

We test everyone.

You prepare the tests
for everyone in town,

and medical staff
will carry them out,

so nobody will panic.

- Oh, thank God.
- Where is he?

Hey, darling.

Well, there's no doctor
on the island, Ciaran.

What are we gonna do?

Jason?

Jason!

Jason!

Let's go up into
my office, shall we?

No, I want to know
the results of the test.

Tell me.

Nothing.
They found nothing.

Which is good news.

I thought it was
going to be good news

if they found
an environmental toxin inside him.

Then he could be treated.
I thought that was good news.

Well, it's good that he
hasn't been poisoned.

So the chemicals,

the toxins that they
found inside the bear...

- Jules.
- they didn't find those inside my son?

- No, they didn't...
- So there's nothing...

- but you can't...
- to account for what he did.

Just himself.

He did it.

So I have to accept
that the only thing

that's inside him
is some kind of evil.

- God.
- Jules.

When my stepfather
was dying...

I went into his room,
and I...

I asked him if there was
anything that he needed.

And he said,

"Eugene, the only thing
that matters now...

is the quality
of the light."

I loved that.

"The quality
of the light."

Dan didn't shoot
Pettigrew.

I know that.

You did.

But Dan did this.

Handcuffed him.

He was being
torn apart

when you shot him.

Tell me why.

Tell me, Henry,

or I have to take you
back to London.

Fuck! Fuck.

God, I came here to die.

This is
totally unacceptable!

What gives you
the fucking right?!

Look what you made me do!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Come on.
There's a good boy.

- W-What is it?
- This'll help.

- Morphine.
- No! No morphine!

No! I don't want it!

It must hurt
like hell.

I'm truly, truly sorry.

Liam's test results
were negative.

Hey, are you okay?

Why don't you
have a shower,

go to bed?

Got to look
after yourself,

or you're no use
to anyone.

Don't say that.

Say what?

Don't say I'm no use.

Frank,
I'm not saying that.

- I just mean you need...
- Listen to me, Jules.

All war...

all military training,

everything I've done
in my life

boils down
to one thing...

protect,

defend the family.

And that's at the very,
very heart

of everything I am.

Defend my family.

Okay, Frank.

Okay.

Okay.

What is...

what is that, a nine mil...
nine millimeter?

Yeah.

I can survive.

That's survivable.

Nine millimeter.

Okay.

Okay.

It's just blood.

Okay.
I can survive it.

I don't want you
getting your hopes up, old son.

Oh, God.

Henry...

give me the morphine.

- Give it...
- Here.

Liver cancer.

Fuck.

Feels like I've been shot
in the fucking guts.

Why? Why?

I don't deserve this.

I can't help that.

I'm not your judge.

This is just a thing
that happened.

Like cancer.

Fuck you.

Oh, fuck you.

Fuck...

fuck you, old man!

Fuck you!

You had no right.

God damn it,
you had no fucking right!

None!

I came here to find
a fucking killer!

To find justice.
This... it's all wrong.

There's no justice
in this fucking place.

There's no...

I'm gonna make us
some dinner.

We sit together

at the table,

eat dinner.

You at the head
of the table, yeah?

Okay.

What am I
gonna make?

What am I gonna cook
for you tonight?

Would you pop out for me?

I'll put the potatoes on

if you get some steaks
from the supermarket.

Steaks?

Yeah, or pork chops,
whatever you fancy.

Sure.

Anything else?

Ice cream?

Ice cream.

Pork chops and ice cream.

Liam,

you need
to help me, okay?

Oh, wake up.

Oh, wake up.
Good boy.

Good boy.

Oh, excuse me.

I want two tickets.

Airport's closed.

Rabies protocol.

Governor called it
an hour ago.

No one in or out
till the "all-clear".

That plane's
about to take off.

It's only
the pilot on board.

Well, he's taking us.
We're not a risk.

Well, I'm afraid not,
Mrs. Sutter.

Please stop.

Take Liam home.

There is
a rabies protocol.

I have a weapon,
Mrs. Sutter!

Stop! I can't let him go,
and you know why!

Then shoot me.

Go on! Go on!

Please go back
to your homes!

Ski-Doo's out of gas.

It's a one-way ticket,
I'm afraid.

You can save me.

Hey. Hey.

Call them.

Please?

Call them now.

Don't let me
die here.

Nils Anderssen was
my great friend,

Dan's father.

The winter Dan was born,

I stayed with them,

Nils and Carol.

She was a...

Nils always said that
the moment he first saw Carol,

the universe cracked.

I loved her, too.

God, I longed for
and loved her so much.

After young Dan was born,

I left, traveled,

wandered the world.

Nils became a cruel
and violent man...

husband and father,

a monster, in fact.

Huh.

He's yours.

Dan is yours.

I left him
with a monster.

I abandoned them both.

Tell him.

Tell him.

Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.

This is a mayday call.

Fortitude Police.

What's
your situation?

Henry, it's Dan.

Where are you?
What's going on?

What's the situation?

I'm on the glacier, Dan.

I'm with Detective
Chief Inspector Morton.

I've shot him
in the stomach,

and he's
going to die

unless you come
and get him.

Why the hell'd
you shoot him, Henry?

He knows everything,

all the proof
he needs.

That's the situation,
Sheriff.

Dan, are you okay?

Huh?

You okay?

Yeah.

Hey, Eric.

Yeah?

You'd make
a good sheriff.

Damn it.
