Silverpoint (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript
I sit in that car, and I dream
of being somewhere else.
I thought if I told you the other
kids vanished 23 years ago
you'd get scared.
I always dreamed she'd come
and take me home.
This can't be real!
My mum shows up then falls
for a mermaid.
They're creating these
things somehow.
The dinosaur and the mermaid,
that was subconscious,
but clearly we can do it
consciously.
Meg?
This whole time what
if Meg didn't disappear?
What if we're the ones
that vanished?
That distortion,
I've never seen that before.
I don't think we're going anywhere.
They will let us out
eventually, right?

Where are you sneaking off to?
Right. They're watching.
Those are the four kids
that vanished.
If this is what happened to them,
they could still be here.
They might know something.
I should go. It's probably not
a good idea we hang out in case...
We think the same thing.
How do we know that's not what
they want us to do?
None of this is real.
And I'm still sat in this car like
I'm always feeling sorry for myself.
Get in.
We'll look together.
Get in?
Like, right now?
Yeah, get in.
OK.
Help me concentrate.
It probably won't even work.
Bea, we need to be careful
with this stuff.
Fine. I'll do it on my own.
Petrol and engine,
petrol and engine...
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on.
HIGH-PITCHED DRONE
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
ENGINE STARTS
Bea, this is a really bad idea.
Bea, I'm not sure about this.
We created this place.
We might as well enjoy it.
SPLASHING
Hey again.
I didn't know if
you'd still be here.
I hoped you were.
I got you these.
You can put them in water,
or hold them - which
is probably the same thing.
You look handsome today.
I tried on, like,
six different shirts.
You're a mermaid.
Yep.
My mum's a pescatarian.
If we get married, is that
going to be a problem?
I still owe you swimming lessons.
Come on in. The water's lovely.
Glen!
We need to go.
But... It's important.
This isn't so hard.
Could you check the mirror?
Why? Have I got something
on my face?
No, for traffic.
The mirror!
Calm down, Dad.
There aren't any other cars.
Besides, it's basically
driving itself.
And Finn told me what
the pedal things do.
Finn...
I mean, I'm just saying,
if he knew what he was on about
he wouldn't be calling them
"pedal things".
SHE BEEPS HORN
What are you doing?
Give it a try.
It's fun.
HORN BEEPS
Go on!
HORN BEEPS
THEY LAUGH
STATION CUTS IN AND OUT
You really think those other
kids are still out there?
Wouldn't they be in their,
like, 30s by now?
I suppose.
So what's the plan?
Find them and see what they know
about where we are and
who's behind all this,
who put us here.
HIGH-PITCHED RINGING
Aargh...
Bea!
TYRES SCREECH
GLEN: What are we doing here?
I was on a date, I think.
No doors, no exits, nothing.
Just the rock.
Dead centre.
It's how we got in.
That's how we'll get out.
We already tried. It doesn't work.
Let's do something. No-one else
seems to be bothered.
Why do you have to hate
on everything?
You're... You're dating a fish,
so there's that.
You know you're basically
fancying yourself, right?
You heard Elliott.
This is some kind of test
to see what we do in here.
I don't think that includes
trying to escape.
I'm not going to pass their test.
You don't know that.
I'll fail!
I always do.
So we need to find another way
out of here.
HORN BEEPS CONTINUOUSLY
Bea?
MUFFLED: Are you OK? Are you hurt?
Are you injured? Bea?
What was that?
I told you we need to be
more careful.
Come on.
Why are you smiling?
I drove a car.
Well, sort of.
Are you sure you're OK?
I've been getting headaches.
I never really said thanks
for...the monster.
And, ah... You know?
Did you just mime me hugging you?
Where do you think we are?
I mean, really.
Who are they?
I don't know.
Are we really talking about aliens
and space and all that stuff?
Did you ever look up at the stars?
My dad and I would do it
all the time,
imagine all the strange
and amazing things out there.
Show me.
What?
Try.
HIGH-PITCHED DRONE
What is going on?
You're wasting your time.
You can't draw in the symbols
yourself.
I'm done with being assessed.
What do you want to do -
spend the rest of our lives in here?
No, of course not,
but there's good here too.
Do you think a girl like that would
ever look at me in the real world?
There must be something you want,
that you've always dreamed of.
Wait, wait, wait.
Seriously?
I am probably going to eat
this afterwards.
Just make a wish.
No. And it's not my birthday.
You don't have to say it out loud.
Just make a wish.
Give it a try.
All right, so the light from
each star you see took
a long time to get here.
Everyone knows that.
But all the stars are different
distances away,
meaning that you're looking
five years, 20 years,
100 years or even a million
years into the past,
all at the very same time.
You're not just looking
into the past.
You're looking through time.
It's like seeing in four dimensions.
Do you ever think those other
kids who vanished,
they just didn't want to go back.
I've lived here my entire life,
and being in here,
it's like the first time
I've ever felt...
..free.
HIGH-PITCHED RINGING
What?
Louis, something's wrong.
LOUD CRACKLING AND BUZZING
LOUD CRASHES
What did you do?
Nothing!
That lightning thing woke it up.
It's us.
Louis, Louis? Where are you?
Glen?
The thing. This place is meant for
us three and Meg, not Bea.
Meg was the one who first
activated it with us, remember?
Did I not do it right?
We need to get Bea out of here.
Where's Kaz?
Back at the rock.
Is she going to faint?
I'm not going to faint.
And I'm standing right here.
LOUD WHOOSHING
Look, it's getting worse.
Was it activated?
I don't know. Sort of.
Could it get us out of here?
I don't know. It was glitchy.
Do you think that's why
this is happening,
because Bea's here and not Meg?
Louis.
Louis!
Did that move?
It's closing in.
What? What's closing in?
Put your arm under her shoulder,
let's go.
Move.
JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING
MUSIC CONTINUES
What is all this? Do you think we'll
be able to use the symbols now?
Not without Kaz we won't.
Where is she?
Kaz?
Kaz?!
OK, I might have suggested
she wish for something.
She can't have gone far.
ZAPPING
That thing is moving
a few feet every second.
About this much every minute.
You stay here with
Bea, I'll go find Kaz.
ZAPPING
Don't be long.
JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING
MUSIC CONTINUES
Jeez, you scared the life out of me.
We need to get out of here.
What are you doing? Who's in there?
You can't go inside.
Why not?
Who are they?
Is that your mum and dad?
That's my mum. Never knew my dad.
Honestly, I don't
think my mum did either.
Maybe that's him.
Or just some face I saw on the TV
and thought maybe that's what
he would look like.
Have you gone inside?
It's, like, I just thought
it for a second and there they were.
We have to go. Bea's in danger.
It's rejecting her.
We have minutes, tops.
BEA GROANS
Are you going to faint?
Stop asking me that.
My mermaid, she needs my help.
She's out there.
Glen, she's not real.
She's in your head.
I need you here.
Kaz said she's basically just me
fancying myself.
Kaz didn't mean it.
Besides, you're sweet.
You've got a good heart.
Girls love that.
Real girls.
If you're trying to make a move
on me, I'm flattered,
but my heart's already taken.
Besides, I couldn't do that to
Louis. Unbelievable.
Did I just out the fact that
Louis fancies you?
ZAPPING OVERHEAD
GROANS
Don't worry, I'll stay.
Can't you fix it?
We don't have time.
If Bea was the one asking you to try
and fix all this
so we could stay here longer,
would you?
Why is it always about you
versus everyone else?
ZAPPING OVERHEAD
Louis, unless you've got
something more important to do,
I'd get back here fast.
This world is breaking apart,
whether you like it or not,
and I don't want to be around when
that happens.
They're waiting for me.
It's my birthday.
I mean, not really, but...
That's what it would look like.
Kaz, look, we have to go.
You don't know it'll work.
We have to at least try.
It's right behind us.
Finally, where have you been?
So we just enter our symbols
and hope for the best?
Well, got any better ideas?
It changed.
Draw in a symbol, just do it.
I think I forgot mine.
It's why I wrote them down.
Oh, wait, got it.
Here we go.
Did we make it?
I think so.
How do you feel?
Better.
Don't tell him.
About what was in the cabin.
Where'd everything go?
Where's the camp?
Did they move it?
The fence, too, we must have walked
straight past it.
I don't understand. This is it.
This is definitely it.
STRANGER: Are you lost?
Do you know where the camp went?
There's no camp around here.
What's your name?
Daniel.
McConnell.
What's yours?
Dad?
of being somewhere else.
I thought if I told you the other
kids vanished 23 years ago
you'd get scared.
I always dreamed she'd come
and take me home.
