Silverpoint (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript
Dad just told me not to go
to that part of the woods,
where the fence is.
He put your life in danger, Glen.
He lied to us.
Me and my sister go a lot.
I mean, we used to,
before she moved out.
Has it made contact?
Does this have anything to do
with what happened at the cabin?
She doesn't have any friends,
she never leaves the house.
Since her sister ran away,
she barely even says a word.
Meg always doted on Grace.
Maybe we've been too overprotective.
But she's such a vulnerable
little thing.
Meg needs time to find herself.
To make friends who could
challenge her.
A quiet summer in the outdoors
could be exactly what Meg needs.
TV: Where are you going?

WHISPERING: Can you feel that?
I can feel the hum in my bones.
Do you feel it?
WHISPERING: Why are you whispering?
I don't know. Why are YOU?
Is this what you expected?
Hello! Glen, wait.
ECHOING: Hello...! Hello...!
EERIE SHRIEK
DISTORTED: They don't care.
This is the loser group, that's
why they put us all together.
We're supposed to look out
for each other.
I'm group leader, I have the spoon.
It's been watching us.
ECHOING: Watching us...
Watching us...
We'll talk about where those kids
could have disappeared to -
another dimension or something.
I think it's trying to communicate.
What do you want with us?
Louis.
Those other kids,
where did you send them?
Where did they go?
TV: Hey! Wait!
I can't!
Meg!
LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS
My dad put that fence up
to hide something.
What does that even mean?
Daniel's always been odd.
Do we still need to skulk around
now that Bea knows about us?
Do we? I don't know.
I sort of like
the skulking around bit.
I just want us to go back
to enjoying the summer.
Yeah, and we will.
What could have done this?
It's completely fried.
Here, let me help.
No, it's fine.
I'm fine. You're no good
at this stuff, anyway.
Fine. Well, I'll get Alice and Finn
to prep the fire pits
and think of something
to keep everyone entertained.
Has Bea talked to you?
We sat in the old Beetle before,
and she asked me
about what was beyond the fence.
She said that? Mm.
Electricity pylons.
That may work with the other kids,
but not Bea, not any more.
So, if you really want to help,
tell her the truth.
She's starting to resent you for it.
Hey there.
Meg?
She's not in here, she's not in the
dining hut. Where would she go?
My heart's, like,
pounding in my chest.
That light, we were about to...
We don't really know
what was about to happen.
If Meg hadn't have done
what she did,
would we have gone through it?
Hey, Louis,
we should get together today.
Uh, I'm...sort of busy.
We need to discuss our next move.
They know we're on to them.
He said he's busy.
You didn't have to do that.
Hey, get...!
That light,
I think it bleached my teeth.
Elliot's right.
Fisher, I-I broke his camera.
He knows we're up to something.
If we don't do this soon,
him, the government,
they'll take it away from us.
And we'll never find out what it is,
what's through the light.
Wait. So, you want to go back?
You felt it.
I know you did. We all did.
I wasn't scared.
Me neither.
Four kids disappeared in that thing
and were never seen again.
What's the alternative?
We go back to school,
get a job, like everybody else.
Buy a house and live out our lives,
exactly like everyone else.
Or...
..see where the light takes us.
It took the four symbols to switch
it on. We can't do it without Meg.
And we're not forcing her.
If she doesn't go, none of us do.
So...one of us should ask her.
Louis wants to go back.
Tonight.
Me and Glen are in. I think.
Look, I don't expect you
to want to go back.
I mean, a week ago I wouldn't even
have believed I wanted to, but...
..something about that thing.
Like it needed us. Yeah.
You felt it?
I was going to walk into it.
I know.
My parents are on their way.
Your parents? What do you mean?
I'm leaving. Camp. Tonight.
I won't say anything
about what we found.
Fine. Suit yourself.
Just run back, you know,
to Mummy and Daddy,
where nothing bad's going to happen
and you're going to be safe.
You're just a scared little girl.
The weird rumours.
The crazy stuff about the woods
that YOU tell all the newcomers.
Tell me.
OK, look.
Do you get the feeling this year
like something's going on
and we're not in on it?
You know what, never mind.
What do you want to know?
Everything, OK?
The rumours about what's out there.
All of it.
You'll need money. Money?
Wait.
Why would we need money?
This is a very delicate situation.
Let me do all the talking.
We need information.
Tell him everything you told me
about the woods and the lights.
He thinks I made it up.
Please?
That was over 20 years ago.
What was?
Five went in, and one came back.
It was just a story
that went around.
A local boy and some of his friends,
they walked into the woods.
Kids played there all the time,
back then.
There were rumours
of a bright light.
And four of those kids were
never seen again.
The local boy.
The one who came back...
..who was it?
Your mum spoke to me.
I should have taken that fence down
years ago, Bea.
I was just protecting you from
something I imagined as a kid.
Your mum's always put up with it.
But she's right, Bea,
there's nothing out there.
Why are you lying to me?
What do you want me to say?
Why you never go out there.
Why the first thing you say
to any kids who come here
is to stay
at this side of the fence.
GENERATOR STARTS
TV: Wait!
Where'd you get this?
You were in my office?
I just...
Finn, Alice and...
TV: Where are you going?
I used to make films.
I had my camera with me that day.
But it cut out before the...
Before it happened.
Before what happened? Slow down!
They kept running towards it...
Wait! ..the sound.
And then this light...
Then they were gone.
Your friends? They vanished?
Men in suits showed up.
Came with their logical explanation
that made sense to everyone.
But the rumours got out.
And after that, that's all it was -
just rumour.
Everyone assumed I'd made it up.
I believe you.
There really is something out there,
there has to be.
The government are watching
the woods.
FINN SCOFFS
Don't believe me, then.
Sorry.
It's weird.
Being here, doing this with you.
It's meant to be Louis. Louis?
I think Dragonfly,
they're up to something.
Maybe they found whatever it is.
And you think Bea could be involved
somehow?
POP MUSIC PLAYS
LIVELY CHATTER
What did you say to her?
What, I scared her off? Not
the alien rock that vanishes kids.
I can't believe she'd just leave.
Are you present right now?
Maybe Meg quitting is a sign
we shouldn't go.
It's not a sign.
She's meant to be part of this.
Where are you going?
To say goodbye to my friend.
Not too close,
you'll burn your eyebrows off.
What did you mean, you believe me?
Why would you say that?
Isn't it a good thing?
Have you been out there?
The cabin, at night, with Finn
and Alice? Did you go there?
I promised I wouldn't say.
You promised who?
Tell me what you know.
I'm trying to protect you.
From what? Living my life?
Why did you build this camp here,
when you knew it wasn't safe?
I, erm... I spend every summer
in this camp,
every day in this village.
We never go on holiday
or go to the city.
I sit in that car
and I dream of being somewhere else.
What scares me is being stuck here
forever, like you.
Hey, let's get out of here.
Let's go somewhere and talk.
Oh, come here, give me a hug.
You're really doing this?
Don't you want to know what it is?
Ignore him.
You're still one of us. Always.
Oh, right.
So, like, I might have not...
meant everything I said before.
I know.
Forget about what's in the woods,
you know?
We can just hang out.
Louis won't give up.
If I leave, you don't have the four,
and that thing won't work.
If I'm not here,
you can't go, and...
..you won't disappear.
Ready? Right, come on, Meg.
Let's get you home.
Where's Bea?
She had a bust-up with Daniel
and stormed off.
Where have you been?
Were you with Elliot?
Come on, we're having a party,
let's try and enjoy ourselves.
Four kids vanished in that thing
years ago.
It's not safe.
You need to stay away from it.
Are you listening to me?
We... I already know.
And you let Glen jump in it?
He's not going to thank you
for bringing that up again.
It's much more than that now.
Things have changed.
We... We activated it.
It put these symbols in our heads.
It's incredible. It's not scary.
It's some kind of portal maybe,
I think, to something. To somewhere.
Show me.
This was a mistake.
She wasn't ready.
She's better off with us.
There you go.
We'll be home soon.
Are you cold?
Put the heater on.
I'm not cold.
She's cold, put the heater on.
HEATER BLOWS
We said we wouldn't come back here
without Meg.
How does it work?
You put your hand on it and just...
draw the symbol.
It stings at first.
Did I not do it right?
Let me try.
ENERGY HUMS
That's weird.
This is the one
it put in Meg's head.
Just draw it on the light.
You wrote them down?
So we don't forget them. I don't
even know my own phone number.
TABLET BEEPS
Wait! Stop the car!
TYRES SCREECH
I can't go. Meg...
Sorry. I love you.
Meg...
She's OK.
LIVELY CHATTER
It's beautiful.
ECHOING: Beautiful... Beautiful...
Get away from there!
Don't you ever run off like that!
Ever!
You understand what this means?
What happens if we...?
This was here all this time?
No! Don't!
Meg?
Meg?
Meg! Meg!
Meg!
