Silverpoint (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript

I just wanted to make sure he
was OK.

You've got some great friends
around you.

Has Bea talked to you?
Tell her the truth,

cos she's starting to resent you
about it.

They kept running towards it.

The one who came back, who was it?

They're up to something - Dragonfly.

And you think Bea could be
involved somehow?

This can't be real!

What if Meg didn't disappear? What
if we're the ones that vanished?

HEAVY BREATHING



No! Don't!

Meg?

BOOM

No.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

There's no-one here.

Something's not right.

Even if Dragonfly were up to
something weird,

Bea wouldn't get involved
if it was dangerous.

Why don't you try the car?

All right.

I know you're under there.

Come on.

Why were you hiding?



Didn't your parents come
to take you home?

Was Bea with your group?

Where are they?

Where's Bea?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Bea, we can't just run off.

We need to stay close.
Where would I go?

If we're the ones that vanished
and not Meg, then...

Where are we?

VIBRATION

That hum, it's...it's all around
us now.

Everything...

..it was so real.

You've been saying that for the past
ten minutes.

It was.

My mum and dad, they'll be wondering
where I am.

My actual mum and dad.

Who were those people?

It was a simulation.

They put us inside a fake version of
the camp.

But why?

Was that there before?

We don't know what's through there.

Shouldn't we think about this?

Yeah, sure. Let's do that.

HE SIGHS

If you take Hummingbird...

I thought you were
taking Hummingbird.

Have you seen Bea? This morning?

Finn. I talked to her last night.

We had a fight, I wanted to give her
some space. A fight?

About what? It doesn't matter.

Wasn't she with you two?

She's not here. Or Dragonfly.

Finn, you're not making much sense.

Bea and Dragonfly, I think
they're involved

in something out in the woods.

I heard about those kids who
vanished, those friends of yours.

OK, let's just... Take the roll call
if you don't believe me.

Where have you looked?

I told her not to get involved.

Bea, Alice and I, things were weird.
Where have you looked?

Everywhere!

Is this real?

I don't think so.

Where'd you...? Elliot?

That's...that's not the real him.

You figured out it wasn't real.

You hit pause, but you need to
continue, all of you.

What are you talking about?
How do we get out of here?

When you activated the rock,
it put you inside a simulation

designed to observe you in your
natural habitat.

Natural what?

Like an assessment, to see
what you'd do.

I don't understand.

Just remember, you are the ones
in control.

The question is, what do you do
with it?

They'll be watching.

GLEN: Wait!

Who's watching?

Maybe I'm not up for being assessed.

Elliot! What do we do?

Even if we wanted to continue,
how do we do that?

The game. You think it'll...?

Unpause it.

No.

Kaz! This is what it wants.

We don't have a choice.

Do it.

Kingfisher.

Pine Marten.

Hummingbird.

Dragonfly.

Dragonfly?

Has anyone here seen Dragonfly
since last night?

How about Bea? Have... Have any of
you seen Bea?

Where've you been?

Elliot, not now.

I followed Bea last night.
I saw her. I saw it all.

There was a light,
this seriously bright light.

What are you talking about?

What did you see?

Bea and Dragonfly, they disappeared
literally right in front of my eyes.

Not the shy one, though.

What?

The shy one, Meg, she's still here.

KEYPAD CLACKS

There's nothing, it's dead.

So there's no people, no food,
and no way of reaching help.

Look, we all just need to try
and stay calm.

It's not like it's real.

Just wanted to see if it'd
fix itself.

Why haven't we called the police?
They could've been gone all night.

You're worried Finn's right,
that it's happened again.

That's why we're out here, isn't it?

You never believed me.

I tried to.

What is that?

CLANG

This is Bea's.

What you think you saw all
those years ago...

..is that what's happened to
Louis, Kaz and Glen?

To our daughter?

Daniel?

SHE SIGHS

I'm going back.

And what?

You're going to call the police
and say that Bea

and three other kids might have just
vanished into thin air?

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Is this what happened to
those other four kids?

They just got beamed in here so that
aliens or whoever can observe...

..assess them?

Do you think it let them out?
After it observed them?

What are we going to do for food?

The lake's still here,
and I know how to fish.

Well, maybe we can catch Glen
another girlfriend.

You're so funny.

What Elliot said,
that we're in control,

what do you think he meant by that?

I mean, Glen imagines his
perfect girl

and Kaz thinks up a mum because she
was never there for her.

Yeah, whatever.

Look, we were doing that.

If you could eat anything in the
world right now, what would it be?

I don't know, a pizza maybe.

OK, what kind?

I'm not fussy. Visualise it.

Really see it. Really want it.

All of us.

Cheese, tomato and pepperoni's
my absolute favourite.

Does it have olives? Ew, no.

Well, what's the crust like, then?

Thin and crispy. A little burnt
on the edge, but in a good way.

Is it in a box with one of those
little white plastic

doll house tables to stop it
getting squished?

What are we doing?

Just focus for one second, please.

Imagine it, really imagine it,
all of us.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

This is all I could get.

Everyone thinks you went home
with your parents.

No-one's looking for you.

But if they know I'm here, then...

Yeah, they'll have some pretty big
questions to ask you. I get it.

So, um...

..they're gone?

Bea's gone? And you don't
know where?

FOOTSTEPS

Told you.

Can't believe you're still eating.

My stomach demands it.

I can't believe an olive
ended up on here.

WHISPERING: Olive juice.

Hey!

So are we saying we can think up
stuff and it'll pop up?

Anything at all?

Well, the dinosaur and the mermaid,
that was subconscious,

but...clearly we can do
it consciously.

How cool is that, though?

Can we think up a door and go home?

Do you know what this totally
reminds me of?

That sci-fi film with
the mind-controlling robots

that live off your imagination.

I remember that. Yeah.

And that bit with the big giant
robot shooting laser cannons and...

THUD

Wait. No, no! No!

MECHANICAL WHIRRING

BLASTERS POWER UP

Tell them. I was there in the woods,
I saw it.

The rock in the ground, the light.

The rock in the ground?

She touched a side bit
and pff, they'd gone.

What did you do to them?
I didn't do anything.

Get out of here. Bye, Elliot.

I didn't do anything.

Louis said it was a portal
to somewhere, maybe.

And I tried to stop them
but I was too late,

and they're probably gone forever,
and it's just me,

and I don't know what to do.

If Bea's involved and in danger,
we need to tell Daniel and Steph.

I may have already done that.

No! We can't tell anyone.

They'll take it away, and then we'll
never get them back.

CARS APPROACHING

Who are they?

Government agents.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

BLASTERS POWER UP

Run!

Focus on it not being real.
We're in control.

I don't feel in control.

And I've got imagined pizza stitch.

It's coming. Go, go, go, go!

We created this thing.

Come on.

KAZ SCREAMS

Concentrate.

It's not real, it's not real.

Not real.

MECHANICAL WHIRRING

Are you OK?

She's hurt. I'm fine.

Wait.

That thing could've actually...

We could've been...

From now on, we have to be extra
careful what we all think,

especially when we're all together.

I've had it with this place.

Where are you going?

Kaz.

I was going to call the police.

We have kids missing.
Our daughter is missing.

The local authorities have
been informed,

but the important thing is
we keep this contained.

Quiet.

You didn't just happen to be
by the lake that day.

Is your name even Fisher?
Who are you people?

I was...

..assigned here.

Assigned here?

Why? How do you even know
about this?

What I can tell you is we will do
everything in our power

to find those kids, to find
your daughter.

And that thing in the ground?

We'll get them back, I promise.

But we do need your help.

We need to speak to this girl.

Megan.

Meg?

She's gone.

She left with her parents yesterday.

My dad made me take a first aid
course. Let me look at your arm.

Stop being nice to me. You don't
even like me. I annoy you.

You're right. I don't like you.

But if we're the ones
controlling this thing,

then we might need you to get out,
and you'll need us, too.

It's like it's in our heads.

What did I create?

That's what I keep wondering.

Your mum, Louis' dinosaur,
Glen's mermaid.

Maybe the camp.

Like some sick joke.

Finn and Alice, every summer
they come from the city

bragging on coffee shops
and concerts,

and then they go back and
I'm still here.

I came here to escape the camp

and now I might spend the rest
of my life in a fake version of it.

KAZ CHUCKLES

Nice. Thanks.

Let's go back.

Wait.

What is that?

I don't think we're going anywhere.

WHISPERING: Stop.

Hurry up. If they catch her,
we'll never see her again.

Hey, you're scaring her.

You don't know that for sure.

You really think they're just here
to get Bea and the others back?

Come on.

Follow the road to the village,
find a phone

and call your parents once
you're clear.

WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS

WHISPERING: Now. Go, go, go.

Meg, wait. I'm so sorry. No!

We need your help to get the others
back. It's OK, it's OK.

They're not going to hurt you.
It's OK. Come on.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Do you see that?

That distortion,
I've never seen that before.

Louis...

..what do they want from us?

They will let us out
eventually, right?

I don't know.

But while they're observing us,

we're going to figure out everything
we can about them.
