Silverpoint (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Kaz ran off.

It's probably aliens.

SHOUTING

This summer needs to be momentous.

Wah!

ENERGY PULSE

PULSATING

Slow down!

Wait!

HIGH-PITCHED RINGING

Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h....



CHEERING

CHICKENS CLUCK

Did...Did my parents call?

Oh, Meg, how old are you, 12?

We're running a bit low on
small sizes.

Er, yeah, they rang a few times,
just checking up on you.

Are they OK? They don't want me to
come home?

They're just being worried
mums and dads, Meg.

It's what they do.

Are you OK?

"My name's Meg, I may have found
a strange alien rock in the woods

"and I'm freaking out."

Leave her alone. Meg wouldn't tell.

You think Louis is OK?



Ever since zzzzz he's been weird.

What if his brain exploded?

His brain didn't explode.

But he shouldn't have gone near that
thing, who knows what it does?

"My name's Kaz, I may have found
a strange alien rock in the woods

"and I'm freaking out."

Great.

THUD

Come with me if you want to live.

Colour wars are a regular thing,
you'll get used to it.

You're from the group who snuck
out of the camp yesterday.

You can't hide anything round here.

I'm Elliot. I should...probably
get back.

Did you go past the fence?

The fence?

Weird things happen in that
part of the woods.

What kind of weird things?

Unexplainable lights,

sounds.

That's the rumour anyway.

But I got proof.

Do you want to see?

Don't sulk, Ethan.

And keep tonight free.

Tonight?

What's happening?

It's a surprise.

And you can't say no or nag Alice
till she tells you.

Meg, are you OK?

I think it's self-inflicted
and she's playing dead.

LAUGHTER

BEA: What did Ben mean
about tonight?

Ben explicitly told you
not to ask me.

Is it going to get me
in trouble? No.

I'm not telling you before
because, you know...

My dad'll freak.

It just breaks a few camp rules.

OK, now you're definitely
telling me everything.

Ah!

LAUGHTER

Colour war's over! Collect up
the bags and get cleaned up!

What is this place?

It's where they stash all
the cool stuff.

I run the camp website for them,
so they let me have a key.

Where is it? Where is it?

You read sci-fi comics?

I got Fear Agent.

Descend is pretty good.

Found it.

What's this?

That's the proof. I found it in the
woods, past the fence, up a tree.

Proves something's out there.

Something there watching.

Who?

The McConnells?

No. Secret Government agents.

We need a music player, good sir,
and some batteries.

Don't listen to him, OK.

He grabs the first nerd from
new arrivals

and tells them about his
weird theories.

Really progressive, Elliot.

That's...That's not
official supplies.

You do believe me, right?

Can I borrow those?

The walkie-talkies?

OK.

But you owe me.

We've got a problem.

Hey, you.

I need some help getting all
the rafting stuff down to the lake.

Could go on pretty late.

Can't one of the other kids do it?

Ah, Bea, they pay to be here.
You know better than that.

Be a big help.

How was the colour war?

Fine.

The McConnells' daughter
and her friend, I heard them.

All the older kids are heading out
past the fence tonight.

Are you sure?

Maybe you'd know if you hadn't
gone off with that Elliot guy.

We dug a big hole in the ground.
What if they find it?

We'll have to make sure they don't.

The camp's heaving right now.
We'll go tonight and...

..hope we get there first.

You want to go back out there
after...what happened to you?

Look, that thing is ours.
We found it.

No-one else can know about it
until we figure out what it is.

Agreed?

Oh, it's from when I touched it.
It's fine, doesn't hurt or anything.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed.

# Take me to the river

# And I'll stay with you forever...#

MELODIC SINGING CONTINUES

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh... #

There we go. Come on, Bea.

# Take me to the river

# And I'll stay with you forever. #

Look at this.

Do you know how hard it is to find
cool trainers in my size?

You didn't.

Do you hear that?

DISTANT MUSIC AND LAUGHTER

Kaz, the rock's this way. Kaz!

I want to see what they're up to.

Here, take this.

You two go, make sure it's hidden.

I'll meet you there.

You got walkie-talkies?

MUSIC GROWS LOUDER

OK, settle down.

Settle down, settle down.

Ethan. All right, guys, guys...

..as the oldest and most responsible
person here...

LAUGHTER
..I wanted to point out

that we're off camp grounds, up way
past lights out,

and most likely trespassing on
private property.

So, seeing as this is
probably my last chance...

ALL: Aww!

..let's have some fun!

CHEERING

WALKIE-TALKIE CRACKLES

GLEN: How does this thing work?

MUSIC STOPS

WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS AND CRACKLES

You? And the crack shot.

I've still got blue paint in my ear.

What are you doing out here?

We...We just went for a walk
and got lost.

We'll leave you to it.

Why the rush?

What, you running to go telling off
to Daniel and Steph?

No. Prove it.

Come inside.

BEA: It's fine, they don't need to.

We should go.

LAUGHTER AND CHATTERING

Hope you're happy.

They're not going to find it
if we're watching them.

Look, if this is cos you're too
scared to go back out there,

just say so. I'm not scared.

Maybe I'd have figured out what it
was before sticking my hand on it.

FINN CLEARS THROAT
So...

..what are you two up to?

Really? Like, nobody comes out here.

Well, you did.

We've been daring each other to come
out to this cabin

every summer since we were kids.

Never thought we'd actually do it.

Look, I know we rib Elliot, but he's
right about one undeniable fact.

Weird things happen in these woods.

Especially around this
cabin at night.

Like...

..UFO, alien-type things.

Alien abduction. They take humans
out for experiments.

Just suck them out of the air.

You're making this up.

Bea knows. She grew up around here.

It goes back years.

Bright lights in the sky,
weird sounds, tremors,

electronic interference.

Argh!

SCREAMING

HEAVY BREATHING

FINN LAUGHS

Oh, please, that was hilarious.

It's constant surprises
with you two.

We're just having fun.

What did you mean before?

What you said about this might
be your last chance to do this.

We're 17, Bea.

I mean, what did you think,

we'd still be coming out here in
our 20s?

I've grown out of it.

Alice too.

This is your last year?

Look, it means we can make this
the best summer yet.

That's why we wanted to do this.

You finally went against your dad
and his rules.

You shouldn't be doing that.

You want to know what it is?

Louis told us just to hide it.
You saw what it did to his hand.

Go if you like.

Meg.

Meg, what are you doing?
You'll get lost out there.

Meg.

I promise nothing bad will happen.

I don't give these out very often.

I'll keep you safe.

Any scary business will have me
to deal with.

Ha-pow!

ALIEN ROCK PULSATES

What just happened to my shoe?

HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS

Sorry about her.

Yeah, Finn and Alice, too.

They're not usually this annoying.

Are him and her, like...?

No.

You and him? No.

Er, we all do our own thing
and we hang out here every summer.

But you live here.

What they said about strange
stuff in the woods...

It's something that locals
put about.

My dad tries to hide it cos it
might put parents off

sending their kids here.

But it's just rumours.

You don't seem so sure.

SHUTTERS BANG

ALICE SCREAMS

What was that?

Finn, what's going on?

HIGH-PITCHED RINGING

SCREAMING

ALIEN ROCK PULSATES

Can you hear that?

Don't stick your face in it.

Why is it doing this with just us
two here?

All I did was dig more of it up.

You were picking at it with
the spade.

Shh.

PULSATING

We should go find Louis and Kaz.

Why would you throw both your shoes
in there?

Pass me more stuff.

SHUTTERS BANG
This is getting really weird.

Did you see that? Finn!

It's not me!

What is going on?

What is that?

RADIO EMITS HIGH-PITCHED TONE

Are you OK?

It's like weird static or something.

Are you doing this?

No! What is going on?!

You're freaking me out, Finn.

Alice, just calm down.

Everybody, just calm down.

ETHAN: You calm down!
I'm out of here.

OK, yeah, let's go, let's go.
Bea, come on!

Come on, let's go!

Hurry up! Hurry!

Go, go, go! Bea!

Quick! Let's go, let's go!

POTS AND UTENSILS CLANG

We need to go, too.

That thing, this could all be part
of it.

It's OK if you're scared.

I'm not scared!

HIGH-PITCHED RINGING

MUFFLED: Just go, it's fine.

There's no reason for you to
stay here.

You're so annoying.

Let's move it, come on!

Bea! Let's get out of here!

You go, I'll catch up with you.

What are you talking about?

Just go. It's OK.

Alice, come on. I mean it.

BANGING AND CLATTERING

What are you doing?

Why aren't you leaving?
Why aren't you scared?

BANGING AND CLATTERING CEASES

Do you think it'll happen again?

But you want it to?

Have you ever heard of
Fermi's paradox?

My dad was a huge nerd, into
astrophysics and stuff like that.

He was, like, obsessed with it.

I used to hang out in his office,
and he'd tell me things like,

"There are more stars
in the universe

"than words ever spoken by every
human that's ever lived."

Is that true?

Fermi's paradox basically says that
alien life can't exist.

Because with all the billions of
planets out there,

surely one of them would've
contacted us.

But there has to be something else,
something impossible.

Why are unexplainable things
scary anyway?

It's the stuff in the world that
you can explain...

..scares me.

So...

..let's wait

and see if it happens again.

We, um... Er, yeah, I, er...

Roll call!

Oh, I have to get back.
My parents are going to freak.

What are you doing?

I'm not sure.

Roll call is happening right now.

The shutters...

..the radio, they were wired
to go off.

LOUIS BANGS ON DOOR

It's rusted shut.

I have to get back.

CLANG
WATER SPLASHES

OK, wristbands, everybody,
let's pay attention.

Badger.

Thank you.

And Kingfisher.

It was like pow, pow, pow, pow,
vanishing, one after the other.

Yeah, I know, you said.
I had a pretty weird night myself.

I don't know what it was.

And Nightingale.

It'll be us soon.

Louis'll get us into trouble.

And Dragonfly.

Dragonfly?

Hummingbird.

He's wearing my shoes.

What?

Hey, where'd you get those?

Why would someone rig a cabin
to scare people?

It's strange.

I don't know. Your parents maybe?

Some kind of activity or something.

They wouldn't.

Sorry you didn't find your
something impossible.

Actually...

GLEN: Louis!

You missed roll call.
Were you there all this time?

There's something you have to see,

like, really seriously,
like, right now.

What do you mean, things disappear?

You throw stuff into it now,
it vanishes.

Tell him the rest.
It doesn't just vanish.

It comes out here.

Wait. So you're saying that thing,
it teleports stuff?
