Silverpoint (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
SNORES
Glen!
Louis!
Kaz ran off.
COCKREL CROWS
What if she doesn't want us to go
after her? Obviously she doesn't.
If she's not here at roll call, we
are the ones who have to explain it.
She's not getting away with this.
Is this because she punched you
in the face?
Whoa! Check this out!
Whoa!
Here.
Are we sure she went this way?
It's just a fence.
Meg, come on.
Louis, where are we? I don't think
we're on camp grounds any more.
I vote we go back and tell the
McConnells. Let them handle it.
You were the ones that woke me up.
Cos it was a cool rescue mission.
Besides, Kaz scares me a little.
Did you two hear a sound before?
We're not going back without her.
She can't just run off.
Everyone will be up soon
and realise we're not there.
LOW HUM
There's something out there.
Rargh!
That wasn't funny!
What are you doing out here?
Just go back to playgroup. Are you
running away? What's it to you?
Look, we're supposed to look
out for each other.
I'm group leader, I have the spoon.
I don't think she cares
about the spoon.
It's a new day, Louis.
You're not the leader any more.
If you go, we get into trouble.
We're responsible for you.
They don't care.
This is the loser group.
That's why they put us all together.
Does anyone actually know where we
are? It's just a stupid camp.
To you, maybe. Why are you so keen
to play by the rules, Louis?
I bet you never broke a single rule
in your life. Hey, erm, everybody!
At least I didn't go sneaking off
in the middle of the night.
That's exactly what you just did.
Because of you!
Hey, give that to me.
ELECTRONIC BUZZING
Do you hear that?
I said give it to me!
The McConnells are not going to
tell me what to do,
and neither are any of you.
Louis! I'm not going back! Fine!
You want to go, just go.
Hey, careful!
ELECTRONIC BUZZING
Like Louis said, I don't think
we're on camp grounds any more.
Argh! Beatrice McConnell! Whee!
Ha-ha-ha! You're two days late.
Blame her, it's her fault. There was
a party. You should have been there.
I missed you so much.
Any interesting new arrivals?
He's basically asking
if there's any pretty girls.
I'm not, I'm just... Is there a year
when you didn't date someone?
Hey, watch it. Respect your elders.
How is the parent stress?
It's like they can't see anything
past this place, or each other.
If they got divorced,
maybe I could live in the city
and we could hang out. Hey, hand
them over. Come on, let's have them.
Phone police. Let's have it.
Never gets old. Thank you.
How are your mums and dads?
I missed you. So lovely to see you.
Wow, you guys have grown!
Everybody good? MANY: Yes!
And awake? Ready for another day?
MANY: Yes.
Ciaran,
don't eat with your wooden spoon.
It's not a leadership quality.
OK, we have a full day ahead.
Cast your eyes to the notice board.
Steph and I are ready
and eager to help
with whatever problems you may have.
I know you're all familiar
with the rules,
but what's the number one rule?
MANY: No wandering off camp grounds.
Which means you stay
the side of the fence.
Group leaders, if you need any extra
supplies, you go and see Elliott.
THEY CHEER SARCASTICALLY
We should tell someone.
I don't know if I can keep this
a secret. Like, seriously.
Tell them what?
We don't know what happened.
Your backpack was hovering, like,
this far off the ground.
And what was that sound?
Keep your voice down.
Is she OK? It's hard to tell
if she's freaking out.
Her expression never changes.
Have you ever tried not
thinking with your mouth?
If you can't be nice, just say the
opposite of what you think.
OK. You're mature for your age,
you're fun to be around
and your breath smells amazing.
It's probably aliens.
We're all thinking it.
She's right, I was thinking it.
What if her backpack was being
sucked up, tractor beam style?
It wasn't being sucked up,
it was levitating.
How is Group Dragonfly today?
Kaz, can I have a wee minute?
Kaz, I know this place may not
be your thing...
MUFFLED SPEECH
SOUND QUALITY RETURNS
We've had provisions go missing.
Now, I'm not suggesting anything.
It's just that we were worried you
might be planning to... To run off?
You may want to be someplace else,
Kaz, but we like having you here.
So you take away our phones.
So there's nothing to distract you
from forming new relationships.
And anyway, we have a phone here
if ever you wish to call...someone.
My foster parents?
Good luck with that.
They're probably on a beach
somewhere.
How are things with your group?
I know you had a rough start.
Ugh, get off it!
LOUD CRUNCH
MANY: Ooh!
We all get on great now.
I wouldn't make friends with those
if I were you.
This place is self-sufficient,
and it's chicken stir-fry night.
Cluck-cluck!
SQUAWKS
Is everything OK? Did you tell him
anything? Yeah, told him everything.
Do you think the McConnell's
know something?
All that "stay this side of the
fence" stuff?
Group activity, this way.
We need to get back out there, to
see if it happens again.
Come on, let's go.
THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
She's like Katniss Everdeen's stunt
double.
I bet she arches.
Arches means stretching your back.
Yeah, like, when you're pulling
the arrow and arching.
Group Dragonfly, who's up first?
All right, Meg. Up you go.
Yeah, come on.
A kid I know fell from something
like this and hit the ground
so hard, he swallowed his own lips.
Could you please stop talking?
Focus on where you put your feet,
Meg. You're doing great.
Come on, Meg.
That's it, nice and gently.
THEY CLAP
That's it. Woo!
If it is aliens, shouldn't we, like,
tell the government or something?
We don't know it's aliens.
Unexplained phenomena have been
reported in woods
all over the world,
but no documented proof.
He's actually managed to make
it sound boring.
You're really into this stuff.
THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
Woo! Yeah! Come on!
That's it, a little bit more.
Come on! Push yourself up.
BUZZING
You can do it!
ELECTRONIC PULSING
No.
What's she doing? She scared
of heights? Meg, just jump.
For someone who doesn't talk much,
she loves the attention.
Come on! Woo!
We should go now. What? What
about Meg? She's doing us a favour.
Everyone's distracted.
That thing that happened down there
is the only reason that I stayed.
You two decide amongst yourselves.
All right, yeah, OK.
This summer needs to be momentous.
Raise your hand if you agree.
Momentous how? It may mean breaking
some rules, is what she's saying.
Just a few parties and stuff.
You know how your dad gets.
I love Daniel and Steph, OK?
They're great. But climbing poles?
Bea, we're not kids any more.
What's with the ear things?
Can you, like...
SLOWLY: Are you reading lips?
I can understand you fine.
Do you know, if you mouth "olive
juice" it looks like
you're saying "I love you".
My mum used to do it when I was
little. You still are little.
Oh, my gosh. Did it look like
I said I loved you?
Are things going to be
weird between us now?
Ready? Do you know where we can get
something to dig with?
Come on! There's people waiting!
Come on! Are you OK?
Is she having her lunch up there?
Ha-ha! Be quiet!
You had a nose bleed the first
time you came up here.
First few days are tough,
but it gets better.
It's the lukewarm showers and
chemical toilets I especially enjoy.
Where did your group go?
Did they just leave you here?
I don't really fit in. No-one does
right away. Just be yourself.
If my mum and dad put you with those
others, it was for a good reason.
Your group just don't know it yet.
So go find them.
Where was it again? We should have
"X marks the spot" it.
No, it was here. Right here.
Hey!
It was different before. There was
a smell, like... Burned electricity.
What do we need spades for anyway?
It was focused energy.
I think there's something
down there.
You got any food? You ate like an
hour ago. Stay out of my stuff.
You think it's a spaceship!
I don't, I...
He thinks it's a spaceship that,
what? Crash landed or something?
I don't know, maybe. Better be worth
the effort, whatever it is.
METALLIC CLANG
What is it? Is that metal?
Some type of rock. A meteor maybe.
What's that weird groove?
Don't touch it.
If this is what made my backpack
levitate, it's not working now.
Oh, great. Uh-oh.
You left me.
For all we knew, you were going to
be there all afternoon.
Look, we're really sorry.
You wouldn't have found this if I
hadn't told you she'd run off.
I'm part of this too. I prefer
the Meg that didn't shout at us.
Well, so what?
This wasn't anything before
yesterday and it's not anything now.
I don't know why I'm bothering.
It doesn't even work.
So if you want to be part of this,
it's all yours.
What do you mean it doesn't work?
ELECTRONIC HUM
Nobody move.
OK, now, slowly step forward.
You just said nobody...
I know what I just said.
Are we doing this? What if it
only works when we're together?
Like we're powering it or something.
Where did you get a spade? Really?
That's what has your attention
right now?
Who's up for jumping on it?
This is beyond stupid.
What if he hits a tree?
That's not going to happen.
I mean, probably not.
Sometimes you have to do these
stupid things.
This is something I've come
to learn in life.
Whoa!
Whoa!
CRUNCH
You have got to try this!
Wa-a-ah!
CRUNCH
Whoa!
CRUNCH
Look, Meg. We're sorry we left
you behind.
It was wrong, but you don't have
to do this. Yes, she does.
Don't let them think you're weak.
Meg, you don't have any padding on!
Meg! Wait, Meg! Meg!
WHOOSHING
CRUNCH
LAUGHS
We're supposed to select a new
leader every day, so...
I don't want that.
Look, I'm sorry about your nose.
Where did you get all this?
I took it from the provisions hut
when I was going to run off.
WAS going to?
ELECTRONIC HUM
What? You can't hear that?
No offence, I... Shut up.
You can't hear it?
What is this thing?
Did you find something? Louis?
PULSATING HUM
HIGH PITCHED BLAST
What was that? What happened?
What are you looking at me for?
OK, you have to get him back.
Help him.
Glen!
Louis!
Kaz ran off.
