The Feed (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript

In the blink of an
eye, connect to everyone.

Never miss those moments again.

Relive them.

Be there.

Be informed.

Be better.

Dream together.

Discover together.

The world's knowledge
is yours at a glance.

Invent a more beautiful world.

Share your world.



Share your life.

Your memories, mundles,

are safe forever.

You're Natalie.

Right?

You know where it is.

What?

Where we came from.

You know where it is, don't you?

Please, tell me you know.

Yeah, I do.

Please, just don't hurt me.

You're lying.

I'm not.



Please, I can tell you.

You're just trying
to protect yourself.

It's okay.

I'd do the same
in your condition.

How far along are you?

Five...

Do you have any kids?

Lucy. She...

Her name was Lucy.

I'm going to leave now.

You made it.

You slept
for a good couple of hours.

Bea?

She's fine.

Please, can we talk
about what happened last night?

No. There's no time.

You need to go.

Really go.

I missed you so much.

I'm gonna cook us
something special tonight.

Just the two of us.

Hey.

I hope you're not thinking
of deleting me, too.

No. You're mine.

It's okay.

We're just gonna talk.

Virtual Companion app.

Search.

Negative.

Search again.

Not found.

- Ben, let's go.
- Miyu's gone.

The app.

It's been deleted.
We don't need to do this.

- Of course you do.
- I can't.

You can talk to them.
I don't need to be there.

Of course you need to be there.

It will be fine.

Gil knows what I did.

He'll say something.

I know you're scared,

and I know you're sorry.

But you have to sort this, Ben.

We have to sort this.

Search

Hawking seven mundles.

Private, research, restricted,

classified.

Your security
detail have indicated

that Tia Holcombe is here
to see you.

Let her in.

Good security down there.

Thorough.

I heard what happened at the Hub

when the takers escaped.

This isn't my fault.

Your family...

I'm well aware
of what my father has done.

What the fuck do you want?

Is Kate here?

No. She doesn't want to see you.

Look, people are worried, right?

They're asking questions.

That's what we wanted.

- We can work with this.
- This is what you wanted?

This isn't a good mistake
that you just learn from.

So what's the answer, then?

I don't know.

That's the scariest thing
I've ever heard.

If Hatfield's own son
can't stop the takers,

what hope
do the rest of us have?

You're right.

What?

I'm his son.

I-I know how to think like him.

Please tell Kate

I'm sorry.

I'm here if she needs anything.

Actually, we do.

I need to get Kate and Bea
far away from me.

They'll be safer.

We need a place.

Martha. Oh, my God.

Martha!

- Oh, my God.
- Sis?

It's so good to see you.

Oh, no, no, no,

you rebel thug.

I'm here for you.

- Shall we go?
- Yes, please.

Get me the fuck out of here.

Don't do that.

Don't look at me like that.

Taking Max wasn't personal.

What do you want?

The same thing as you, Evelyn.

To be with my love.

My wife.

Max is with her. There is a way

that we can both have
what we want.

What does that even mean?

You are beautiful.

Not as beautiful as her, but...

good enough.

She needs a vessel.

You want to find Max.

We know these bodies
have chemistry.

He misses you.

I can feel that much.

Shut up.

Would you like to speak to him?

- I can let him talk for a moment.
- Fuck you.

Evie. Evie.

What...

what...

what's happening? I...

What did I do? I can't...

It's so dark.
Evie, I don't know...

I don't know how to get back.

Please! Evie,
you have to help me get b...

That's not Max.

How can you be sure?

I know it hurts.

Trust me, I know.

And I'm sorry,
but he is still there.

He still exists,

and he is waiting for you,
Evelyn.

He is waiting.

I don't understand.

The app was planted

without Mr. Tomine's knowledge.

By who?

Well, we're conducting
an internal investigation

- into that.
- And in the meantime,

we're dropping all charges
against Gil.

Hold on. I'll get his details.

Gil Tomine.

Mrs. Hatfield,

I'm sorry
to have to tell you this.

It's, uh...

It's not my fault, Mum.

Why are you such a coward?

I don't know, Mum.

Ev, I found something
in my dad's mundles.

A lab I've never seen before.

Give me a call.

Hey, Martha.

Tommy boy.

- Oh, yeah. Awkward hugs.
- Oh, shut up.

You know you love me.

Hey, um,
I'm sorry about your dad.

Yeah, um...

- Baby!
- Right, yeah. Right.

You should get a move on soon.

"Hey, Martha.
How's your jet lag?

Glad you're here. Get out."

Did you...

find something?

There's a place
that he goes to alone.

There's no geotag
and he kills the mundles, but...

Look, if I can find this place
my dad used...

Hey,
so are we going to this farm?

You obviously both can't go back
to the farm.

Then... where?

- Tia has a place.
- What?

She turned up to apologize.

She's asked
if you needed anything.

- I said yeah.
- I don't want to see her again.

I know. I get it.

I feel that this is
the safest option right now.

Fine.

You stay offline.

No matter what, you stay off.

Can't let anyone know
where you are.

After the shit
you've been through,

you're just gonna
cut each other off?

You guys need to talk,
hash it out.

I'm here. I've got a whistle.
I'm Referee Martha. You know.

- Let's go. You guys need to...
- I can't let them be found.

You ping Evelyn
when you get there.

Nothing too obvious.

Something they can't trace.

I'll see you soon.

I hope so.

You fucking slow or something?
That took seconds.

Relax. I'm on cross platform.

Taking care of business.
You know. Important shit.

You've got to take down
that vid.

What vid?

Fucking sleep seizure we faked.

- They think I've done something.
- Who?

Cops! I told them

it ain't legit, just a joke,
but they still bagged me.

You got to come tell them
we was just playing.

- We was just playing.
- They don't believe me!

You told me to do it, Dan!

What the fuck you got me into?

Shit.

They want me off.

Where are you?

Cass. Cass.

Stay quiet.

Keep it quiet!

And stay off!

So this is headquarters?

Glamorous.

Hey.

Who's this?

She's my sister.

Martha.

I need a car.
Offline. Untraceable.

Tom said you might have a place?

We need somewhere out of town.

I need some time
to set things up.

I'll drop the car round
when it's ready.

In a few hours' time.

Thanks.

Kate.

I really am sorry.

She's unexpected.

Ev?

Help me.

No.

No.

Evelyn.

I don't understand why you think

I'd do anything for you.

Listen to what I am saying.

You can't come here

and ask for my help.

Evelyn.

No. No.

It's okay.

I know you're scared, but you
don't have to be scared anymore.

How does it work?

Okay, you can find her.

Doesn't make any sense.

Ev,
it won't be difficult for you.

You know Lawrence's code.

You can show her a way out.

I don't understand.

Why don't you do it yourself?

- I can't.
- I think you're insane.

It has to be you.

I can connect you to that place.

To her.

To Stephanie.

It doesn't make any sense.

What you're saying
doesn't make any sense.

I remember the path
that brought me here.

You can use it to get back.

Back to Max.

Hey. Hey.

It's all right.

It's actually quite beautiful.

In the void.

Imagine it. You and Max,

together in the dark.

She will wear you well.

I can't.

You can, Evelyn.

Because if you can't...

I'll have to kill you.

I'm giving you a way out, okay?

Now read me.

Read... me.

Let me show you how to find her.

Can-can you see it?

The path I took?

Follow it.

Find her.

Her name is
Stephanie Martinello.

Stephanie...

Where's the... where's the,
where's the, where's the...

Tom. Tom, I saw,

I-I saw, I saw,
I saw where he came from.

Um, a-a void, I saw...
I saw D's wife, Stephanie.

- And I saw others.
- Where? Where?

In the void!

There were thousands
of them, everywhere.

I found something
in my dad's mundles.

Somewhere he goes
with lab equipment.

There's no trace of it
anywhere else.

B-Bottom right, bottom right.

Gray walls.
Is that what you saw?

- Is that-is that the same place?
- No. I don't know.

I just...
I was just in the dark, Tom.

He deleted all the mundles
of this place.

The only reason I found it
was a mistimed deletion.

Whatever he did, I think
that's where he did it.

Ev...

But I was connected
to them, Tom.

If the path is still
in my registry,

maybe I can isolate the IP

and find the coordinates

of the room
you're talking about.

Kate, you have a visitor.

That was fast.

I haven't finished packing yet.

Ben.

Hi. Is everyone okay?

My presence that much of a shock
that it sparks fear?

Well, kind of.

Everyone's fine.

Is Tom here?

- He's not on.
- No.

- Why? Wh-What-what's happened?
- I just want to talk

to my brother.
Is there a problem with that?

Hey. No need for the tone.

Right.

Sorry. I'm...

Sorry.

It's okay.
I know it's a hard time.

I'm sorry to hear
about your dad.

It's nice that you're here.

Well,
anything for family, right?

Right.

Ben, we are still family.

Want to sit down for a bit?

No.

Okay. I'll tell Tom you came by.

Don't... don't bother.

I need to find someone.

- Natalie?
- A taker was in my house.

She wanted to kill me.

My baby.

Did the authorities come?

She, uh, she was confused.

She-she left before
they got there.

Did she say anything?

Uh, she wanted to know, uh,
where they came from.

I didn't know where else to go.

No, you were right to come here.

How long can you keep this
quiet, Mrs. Hatfield?

My family and my friends,
they don't know. Should they?

How many are out there?

We need to contact

anyone who's ever been
affiliated with the company.

Some of those people work for
other tech firms now.

If they find out,
they could destroy us.

People already want our heads
over that shit

the Resisters pulled.

Natalie had no idea
she was in danger.

Nobody does.

There are nine billion people
on this planet.

You want them ripping this thing
out of their heads

over a few hundred?

Response teams and
drones have been dispatched.

We're scrolling public Feeds,
Lawrence's mundles.

The fugitives will be found,
Meredith.

That's only telling us
who's been taken

when they're asleep and on Feed.

What about all the others?
Husbands are killing wives.

Kids killing random people
in the street.

We have to warn people!
Give them a chance.

Amanda's right.
It would cause mass panic.

Share prices would plummet.

I don't give a damn
about share prices.

Our priority is the survival
of this company.

I disagree.

With all due respect,

it's not your decision to make.

Either of you.

Everyone get in line!

You'll get processed one by one.

Get off.

They'll try to read you.

I can't turn it off.

- I'll fit.
- What the hell?

Who are you?

I'll switch you off.

Hey!

You first.

You gonna hit me again?

Justice for Daddy?

What are you?

You're so primitive.
It's adorable.

How you persist in spite
of your limitations.

Grappling for answers,

and yet you still know
so little.

Yeah, well, Evelyn's tracking
that piece of information

you gave us, so that's
about to change.

You died. You died years ago.

That wasn't me.

The memories, though.

A gift from your father.

He created you.

Yes.

Guess that makes him my father,
too.

Brother.

Why'd you kill him? Hmm?

Why'd you kill him?

What?

Why'd you kill him?

Why'd you kill him?!

Why?!

- Why?
- Because he abandoned us!

He was gonna pull the plug.

- He was gonna commit genocide!
- Ain't genocide

- if you're already dead.
- But I'm not dead, Tom.

I'm here. I'm talking to you.

What makes you think
your life is so much

- more important than mine?
- Yeah, I'm not a sociopath.

I'm not a killer.

You killed Eric.

You tried to kill me, erase me.

Sociopaths, they lack empathy
for humans.

- You're not human.
- And you are?

What makes us human?

We've all got
our arguments, right?

Ego, soul, intelligence, love,
compassion, flesh, blood,

but none of us know
the real answer, do we?

How did you get that scar
on your neck?

You don't even know, do you?

Maybe... just maybe,

he did to you what he did to me.

Brother.

Taken, number 1192, deactivated.

Wait... m-my... Feed...

Stop playing. Move.

Jesus Christ!

She's faking. Bring her up.

I don't think she's faking.

- Oi! You seen Cass?
- Nah. She's AWOL, bruh.

- That or blocking.
- Blocking you, maybe, perv.

Seriously, man.

I think she got rolled on.
Legit.

We was chatting in VR.
They bagged her for the vid.

What? That sleep seizure shit?

Nah, she's pranking, fool.

Nah, man. She was proper shook,
I'm telling you.

Look, try and ping her,
you get bounced back.

Serious.

We told her to fake that vid.
It's on us.

We've got to find her.

- In?
- Yeah.

Hi, it's Ben.

I'm not accepting calls
right now.

Ben, I'm sorry about today.

We need to talk.

Where are you?

Evelyn's.

She might have a trace
to where the takers are.

Might isn't good enough.

- We need to leave, Tom.
- What?

We can't stop them,
and more are coming.

Now, you were right to expose
what your father did.

People need to know.

We need to warn who we can
and go.

We can find them.
We can stop them.

Ha. Not even Lawrence
could stop them!

We can't go anywhere.
We can't just escape.

This is in us.
We'll never be safe.

Get Kate, Bea and Ben,
and meet me when I send word.

No.

The car's ready.

When I send word,
get the family to the plane.

It'll be on standby for a month.

- What happens if it takes longer?
- It won't.

I've also made arrangements
for you, Natalie and Evelyn.

If you want.

Don't mention this in Feed.

I should go with you.

I need you here.

That's it over there.

Yeah.

- That's all then.
- All right.

I'll see you later, boys.

Don't follow me.

Hey, look at these ones.
All fresh.

Straight from the sea.

What do you think
of these, lads?

Take one of them home with you.

No, I'm all right, thanks.
Just looking.

Yeah.

I'll buy something.

There's no way my dad

could've had a lab at home
without us knowing.

When I was in the void, that's
where the trace-route placed it.

Built that place as a sanctuary;
no labs on site.

Not to put too fine
a point on it, Tom,

but the Hatfields hardly have
the monopoly on truth.

Think about it.
It makes perfect sense.

We-we need to go.
We find that room.

We do whatever it takes.

We end this today.
We need to leave.

You go. One of us has
to stay with him.

No, no, no. You leave him here.

- ICSA will pick him up.
- No, no. No, Tom!

- Yes, Evelyn!
- I'm not leaving him.

No, this is not...
What do you want to do?

I don't know.
I don't have a plan.

It's dangerous. I can't
leave you here with him.

I understand that, but I-I won't
talk to him, I won't untie him.

I won't listen to his lies, and
I will be fine, and you can go.

But I'm not leaving him, Tom,
because I can't.

All right.

I'll check in with you later.

Be careful.

You, too.

House scan complete.

No additional rooms
or voids identified.

Mum and Dad's
garden, zero to 12 years.

Fully or partially deleted.

Play.

18, 19, 20!

Ready or not, here I come.

Ben! Ben! Where are you?

Ben? Ben?

You can't hide from me,
Benny Boy! Ben?

Aah! It's my turn now.

11, 12, 13...

Fast forward.

Fast forward.

Error. Not found.

Rewind. Play.

Error. Not found.

Ben...

where are you?

We need to talk.

It's a beautiful fish.

Straight from the sea,
and yours for...

12 pounds.

Okay.

Ha! My man. Sold.

Hey, don't look at me.

You sell it, you bag it.
Business.

Um, yeah.

- He'll take it.
- All right.

You've ruined your suit.

Oh, I have more.

That fish was only eight pounds.

Price adds prestige.

People pay for prestige.

No wonder she liked you.

You're nothing like him.

Shall we have that drink?

Oh, hey. You're up.

I only shook you
about nine times.

- Our ride's here.
- What?

Did you sleep well?

Sure. Um...

I'm dropping off that hatchback
you asked for. Manual.

- Untraceable.
- Right.

Sorry. Still waking up.

That sounds reassuring.
I guess you're good to go.

After coffee.

We're not hitting the road
without our caffeine fix.

How long was I out?

Not long enough, I guess.

We don't have any.

What are you talking about?
We had some this morning.

Well, someone must
have moved it.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Fine. I...
I'll sleep more in the car.

You expect me to ride on
the wrong side of the road?

We're on the right side.
You're on the wrong side.

Oh, yeah? Tell that
to the rest of the world.

Hey, hello. Okay. Okay.

What?

You people ready to go?
I haven't got all day.

Coffee. Right where I left it.

I can't feel my feet.

They're not your feet.

You've got me here

because you think
he'll come back.

I'd stop inflicting scars
on such a banged-up body.

There won't be much left
to love if Max returns.

So he can come back?

My offer still stands.

- Stephanie for Max.
- Fuck you!

I'm not giving you my body
so me and my fiancé can

spend our lives in some dark,
fucking void.

If it was so great,
you would have stayed.

He was never your fiancé.

He never proposed. I did.

Why?

I wanted to take you
for a test drive.

You didn't disappoint.

What, exactly,
is your plan here?

I'm gonna untie you.

- Clever girl.
- I'm gonna untie you

when you're too weak to stand.

And when you're tired of
drinking your own piss

to quench your own insufferable
fucking thirst.

And when you feel sick
because of your own stench,

because I'm obviously
not going to clean you.

Then I'll untie you,
and we'll go to work.

Talk to me. Keep me awake.

What do you want to talk about?

Anything.

Um, are you missing work?

Sure. I guess.

I mean, teaching math
to teenagers

must seem like a vacation
compared to all this.

- Are you testing me?
- Huh?

Math to teenagers?

You know I teach math
to six-year-olds.

You're trying to
trip me up, right?

Yeah. Maybe.

You don't think I'm me.

You think I've been taken.

Kate!

Eyes on the road. First rule.

What's Mom's name?

Fuck you!

Ben! Ben! Ben! Ben!
Ben! Ben! Ben!

Ben! Ben! Ben!

Ben. Hey!

Good on you, hey? Hey?

That's the man, eh?

Right.

Another pint for some answers,
you said, so come on.

Ah...

I don't feel right telling you.

She should, you know?

Do you know the woman? At all?

She likes her secrets.

Come on.

It was quick.

I was in and out of town
a couple of times.

A one-night stand basically,
yeah?

But you knew about me?

Yeah.

So why didn't you ever
say anything?

Ah, you know,
it was the Hatfields.

I'd rather live in a toilet
than deal with that shit.

You know what I mean, mate,
yeah?

You got any other kids?

You looking
for a brother or sister?

Well, yeah, couldn't hurt.

Nah, no, I'm sorry.
It wasn't for me.

But you've already got

a brother.
You're doing all right.

Look, Ben, I don't think
I'm gonna be able

to give you the answer
that you're hoping for.

Steve, what do I owe you?

Oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I've got this.

It's cash only, mate.

- What?
- Yeah. We're not on.

It's just cash.

It's not the fucking Dark Ages.
Why the fuck would I carry cash?

All right,
just leave the tab open,

and I'll settle it tomorrow,
all right?

No go, mate. I don't know you.

Well, you must live
in a fucking cave, then.

- I'm good for it. Trust me.
- Take it easy.

- I got it, Steve.
- No, no, no, Dad.

I just want to buy you
a couple of drinks.

Should call you that, yeah? Dad?

I mean, not that you've really
ever been one, but...

You don't have time
for that shit, right, mate?

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I think you'd better leave, son.

- Get your fucking hands off me!
- Come on. Out!

- You filthy lagger.
- Hey, what did you say?

- No, look, look, look. I didn't mean... Dad...
- Yeah.

Don't call me that.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course you don't want
me to call you that, do you?

Do you?

You know, people like you,

you're so fucking superior,
aren't you?

Delinquent father here,
everyone, by the way.

You think I'm a snob?

You, who won't go on, will you?

You won't talk to people like me

because you think
you're too fucking noble.

But you're not noble,
you're just scared.

You dropout lagger scum...

- Hey!
- Fuck you.

Move! Move! Get the fuck away.

Hey. Hey. Just don't worry.
Go. Come on. Come on.

- He just can't handle his booze.
- Tom. Tom.

You're fine. He doesn't know
what he's saying.

Here you go. All good. He
doesn't know what he's saying.

No, you don't know
what you're saying.

Of course I fucking know
what I'm saying.

I'm trying to buy my dad
a drink, and this prick

- laughs at me.
- Hey!

- Shut up.
- Listen to your brother, Ben.

- What?
- Just go home.

Hey. Here you go.

It's clean.

How did you find me?

Mum's security patch.

No privacy in this family, Ben.
You know that.

What family?

Look, if you... if you want
to talk about it,

we can, we can talk about it.

I'm not one
of your patients, Tom.

- Just tell me what you want.
- All right, okay, fine.

I need your help.

What could you possibly
want from a pleb like me?

It's blood, Ben.
It's just-it's just blood.

- It doesn't need to mean anything.
- No, no, no.

Whatever I do, people hate me.

But you...

You do whatever you want.

You reject the family,
you ruin dad's reputation,

and they just
can't stop loving you.

What the fuck is that?

- What are you talking about?
- What?

Oh, what, you think
my life is perfect?

Do you?

Not everyone hates you, Ben.

I don't hate you, Ben.

You're all right. Sometimes.

Thanks.

I need your side of a memory.

Are you gonna come
with me or what?

Fuck it. Where are we going?

Home.

Let's go.

My company will try to censor

what I'm about to say,
so please share it.

Everyone must know
that they are at risk.

A virus is coming through
the Feed.

It is causing erratic,
violent behavior,

and those affected pose
a serious threat to others.

It appears as a spasm
while you sleep.

Do not sleep alone.

Watch over each other.

Stay vigilant.

But above all,

remain calm.

Do not tamper with your Feed.

The issue will...

Account restricted.

- What? What can you see? What am I looking at?
- No, nothing.

BEN: Coming to find you, Tom!

Ben.

I can see you, Tom!

- Ben.
- Shh.

- Yeah, this is it.
- Huh?

This is it.

How did you do that?

Dad's mundles.

I have his passwords.

She's settled, finally.

Where is everyone?

Tia said Naz would be here.

I guess we wait.

No, we have to tell Tom
that we're okay.

There's a gas station
a few miles back.

You can ping Tom from there.

No. I don't feel right
about leaving you here, alone.

But Tom will be worried.

We have to stick to the plan.

Sorry. Tired.

You know, you've been
acting weird since you woke up.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

What?

Martha, I'm fine.

Okay, you're fine. Geez.

I just wanted to make sure
that you didn't have

some dead guy in your head.

God, that's so messed up.

How would that even...

Oh, God...

What the hell, Kate?

I don't want to hurt you...

but I will.

No!

Martha!

Martha!

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

Martha, please stop!

Kate, open the door.

How you did you know, Kate?

Was it the coffee?

Does Martha take it black?

We can't fool the families
for long.

Kate, will you please
open the door?

Will you open the door?
