Silverpoint (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

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

..let's have some fun!
CHEERING

What's this?

I found it in the woods,
past the fence, up a tree.

Weird things happen in these woods,

especially around this
cabin at night.

ELECTRICITY FIZZLES
SHUTTERS BANG

What is going on?!
This is freaking me out, Finn.

It comes out here.

OK, here it comes.

What's happening?



You need... You need to
double-knot it.

I am double-knotting it.

OK, ready.

Can't we just throw stuff in there?

It has to be a
controlled experiment.

Trust me.

Whenever anyone asks you to trust
them, it always mean you can't.

Sending through the first
test object.

Got it.

Got it.

Ah!

So, the heavier the object,
the longer it takes to go through.

Try the toolbox.

This doesn't seem weird to you,
that it's teleporting stuff?



Maybe the more we dig it up,
the more powerful it gets.

But it's teleporting stuff.

The toolbox.

Please.

Why didn't it go through?

Too heavy.

If all four of us were here,

if we had more power...

Why do we need to send something
heavier through anyway?

That time gap when
things disappear...

What's on the other side?

Louis, why do we need to send
something heavier through?

The only way to find out

is if one of us goes
through ourselves.

I'm going to go through it
later today.

Even if your dad's not involved,

who'd set up some random cabin
just to freak people out?

I don't know, but it worked.

"Let's go, Bea, come on!"

Last night was insane.

Are we good...

..about this being mine
and Finn's last year?

I hate that sucking a lemon face.

BEA LAUGHS

You said it, it's your last year,
so we need to make it count.

OTHERS SQUEAL NEARBY

Hey! Be careful.

You still like Finn?

We're friends, it would be weird.

I thought you'd grown out of that.

What about you and, um, Louis
getting cosy in the cabin?

No!

Bea!

Bea, can we start paying attention?

OK, Mum!

All Group A should be in the water
by now. Come on.

Louis, we're going to be last.

Feel free to help.

I already checked that.

Those too. Hurry up.

Seriously?

No-one goes out there without a
life jacket.

You two can swim?

Yeah, I was swimming at three months
old, like a baby dolphin.

All right.

So, last night,

turns out that cabin was
rigged after all.

You wouldn't know anything
about that?

It's just strange.

You know, you two showing
up like you were expecting it.

This is the only one your size.

Listen, can you come this side?
I'm not very good with water.

Oh, I can't swim. I made that up.

What is wrong with you?

You saw how he looked at us.

So, are you really going to
jump into it, the thing?

What if it messes with your DNA

and you come out the other end
a deranged psychopath?

That's really specific.

What I mean is, you don't have to be
the one who goes through.

I'll do it.

No. No way. It has to be me.

Hey, Ariel! How's Prince Eric?

Shut your face and get in your
own lane!

OK, next volunteers,
follow me, yeah?

Put that down. We're not doing
that, the water's freezing cold.

Why did you get dumped here anyway?

Don't you have adorable parents?

They thought it'd be good for me.

Yeah, well, clearly they
hadn't anticipated

the weird alien teleporting rock.

You coming or not?

Just because you're smart
and read sci-fi comics,

you act like that thing
belongs to you.

You can go second.

No-one remembers the person
who goes second.

I want to be the first person
ever to teleport.

No.

It was my plan, it was my idea.

You were even freaking out over
a bit of water

and we're wearing life jackets.

I should be the one.

No.

Glen, stop it.

Glen!

Only if I can teleport.

Glen, stop that.

Fine, I'll think about it!

Really?

Are you sure?

Cos now that you've said it,
I'm a little bit nervous.

CLANGING

Louis wasn't kidding about this
place. Look at all this junk.

Are we going to get caught?

Probably.

OK, look, your choice.

We can either go back
to the activity

and get cold and wet,
or we could accept

that Mummy and Daddy might not
know what's best for you

and you and me can kick back...

..and have some fun.

It's pretty ancient.

Probably won't even boot.

THEY PLAY FIGHTING GAME

No, no, no, don't, don't.

No, no, no, no.

MEG LAUGHS
You walked into that.

Me and my sister play a lot.

I mean, we used to.
Before she moved out.

She's travelling Europe with her
university friends.

She said I could come, but my mum
and dad wanted me here instead.

You know your sister was just
saying that, right?

Like she's going to take a
12-year-old with her to Europe

with her cool uni friends.

Knockout.

Player one wins.

If you're going to mash
the controls, obviously I'll win.

DOOR OPENS

STEPH: She's not been
herself lately.

DANIEL: Where do we keep the
printer toner?

This place is a mess.

Finn and Alice have always been
an influence on her.

Is that your professional opinion?

Maybe she'd talk to us
if you opened up a little.

Come on, Steph.

There's a rumour in camp that she,
Finn and Alice snuck off

to the old cabin last night.

Daniel.

Daniel!

Elliot, if you want to look after
the hut, keep it tidy.

VIDEO GAME MUSIC PLAYS

You beat my high score.

I mean, they show up at the cabin
out of the blue

and all that stuff starts happening.

It was strange. It was weird.

Dragonfly could have set it up.

Just to make you look stupid?

You thought I looked stupid?

Why did you go back into the cabin?

You and this... Louis?

Why? Are you jealous?

What I mean is...

..I know I'm younger and...

..we've been friends, like, forever,
but as this is your last year,

maybe you and me could
hang out more.

Even if Alice is busy
with activities.

We could do that.

What are you two gossiping about?

Uh-oh.

You went out past the fence
last night?

You made me a promise, Bea.

I was my fault, Daniel,
OK, it was my idea.

We won't do it again.

You should be setting an example to
the rest of the kids.

Your dad is wound super tight.

Hello, hello.

Do we have to do this now?

Finn already thinks me
and you are...

What?

Did your group have anything to do
with what happened last night?

No, course not.

Look, I, erm...

We found something, OK,
and it's crazy, and amazing,

and you can't tell anyone,
but the four of us need to be there.

And we need someone to keep watch.

And, well, I thought of you.

Found what? What are you
talking about?

Something impossible.

We leave you alone for five minutes
and you fess everything up

to the McConnells' daughter just
because you fancy her.

I don't fancy her. I fancy her.

You were the one who said nobody
could know anything about it.

If the four of us need to
be there to power it,

someone has to keep watch.

She didn't believe me anyway.

And who agreed that Glen could
jump in that thing, then?

He's not, I'm going through.
You said you'd think about it.

You said you could swim.

Because people don't take me
seriously and you don't either.

Nobody's jumping in it.

Don't you want to know what it is,
what's on the other side?

You don't want to jump, you don't,

and he's too scared but he won't
admit it.

I'm going through. End of.

Glen... End of.

It could be dangerous.

So we just...

..make sure it's not.

CHICKENS CLUCK

We can't toss a chicken in there.
No way.

You were willing to throw yourself
in there five minutes ago.

That's different. What about its
animal rights?

Look, it's scared.

Aren't chickens, like,
automatically scared?

Isn't that why you call
someone a chicken?

Look, if you want to know that
thing's safe,

the chicken goes first.

Is this some sort of prank?

If you lot are playing a joke...

Are the boxes in position?

If by "in position" you mean they're
piled up next to me, then yeah.

What's supposed to happen?

Just keep watch and be ready.

CHICKEN CLUCKS

You think it knows?

They sent a monkey and a dog
into space, so it's just like that.

On the same rocket?

Not at the same time.

What if it gets stuck, and I go in
and come out half bird-boy?

We'd sell you to medical science.

Buck-buck-buck.

Get it! Sorry! Run! Go!

Get it!

Run! Save yourself!

Be free!

Leave it alone. Get back in the box.

It's running away.

Hurry up, quick.

Not that way.

Get it! It's going to jump in!

CHICKEN CLUCKS

What the...?

Did a chicken come through?
Did its DNA get rearranged?

Is it psychologically damaged?

It's a chicken, how should I know?

And where did it come from?

I already explained.

I didn't believe you then.

So...

..we good?

Happy it's safe now?

Last chance to back out.

OK.

Let's do this.

You got it? Take a good run
and jump.

And try to land on the boxes
and not on your face.

Based on your size and weight,

it should take you 43 seconds
to make it across.

Look, you can still back out now.
I can go myself.

No!

Where will he be for those
43 seconds?

That's what we're going to find out.

Any moment now.

Should we do a countdown?

How about a drum roll?

Louis, count down from three.

OK, here we go.

Three,

two...

I might need the toilet.

Number one or number two?
Don't ask him.

Honestly, it could go either way.

Will you please just jump?

All right.

This is one small step for Glen,

one giant leap for Glenkind.

He actually did it.

OK, he's got 43 seconds.

Come here.

Come here, you stupid bird.

CHICKEN CLUCKS

LAUGHTER

Follow me.

Where are you taking me?

Why don't you trust me? I do.

There's no-one here, Finn.

KAZ: Fix, six, seven, eight, nine...

What if he doesn't land on the boxes
and hurts himself?

Why wouldn't he land on the boxes?

The sleeping bag came out
further along than the other stuff.

It comes out here.

The objects we first sent through,

the heavier ones landed further
apart from the others.

What if weight affects distance?

What if what?

Glen's, like, 20 times heavier than
anything we've sent through.

Louis, what's going on?

If we're here and Glen was meant
to come out here, behind the hut...

OK, think, think, think.

If the chicken and the sleeping bag,
which are similar weight,

come out here behind the hut,

then something of Glen's weight
would come out...

That's the middle of the lake.

Glen can't swim.

What?

Glen can't swim.

Come on!

WALKIE-TALKIE CRACKLES

Get to the lake!

Get there! Run!

Bea?

Come on.

Hurry.

Are you there? Can you see him?

What were you doing?
You could have drowned.

GLEN COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS

Can you even swim?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I think so.

Though I don't need to
toilet any more.

Thanks.

I just saved his life.

Where'd he come from?

Are you from the camp?

Look, we don't want any trouble.

DOG BARKS

Otto, quiet.

HIGH-PITCHED RINGING

CLANG, WATER SPLASHES

Louis, come on, we've got to go.

What have you lot got
yourselves into?

Did he come out of the sky?

You're not a part of this.

Meg, take this.

Well, what was it like?
What did you see?

Everything happened so fast.

You don't remember anything?

I don't know. It's all just a blur.

Come on.
