Utopia (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

Time is running out, the gang must find Mr Rabbit and stop The Network before they release Janus. As a daring plan is formed, only one question remains - will the true secrets of Utopia finally be revealed?

(NEWS REPORT) 'There are unconfirmed
reports now of a new outbreak.

'That's a third outbreak
of Russian Flu near Hexham.

'That's after last night's outbreaks
at Lochinver and Fort William,

'where 12 people are confirmed
now dead.

'The government are urging
the public not to panic,

'but scenes of disorder are being
reported

'in Edinburgh, Sunderland and Perth

'as GP surgeries are besieged
with thousands of enquiries.'

This programme contains
scenes of violence and strong
language from the outset.

It's all there.

Everything they did.



The experiments...

the people they murdered,
everything.

Don't find out the truth
about our father.

We need to find out why
they want the manuscript.

It has the identity of Mr Rabbit.

He's the beating heart of all this,

and if we can find his identity,
it ends, and you go home.

We go and we see if he's got
a Chinese character for "rabbit"

carved on his back.

And then what? Whack him?

Tomorrow at noon I'm good to be here
with every ounce of Thoraxin I have.

Get me those pages, you get it all.

You're right,
it's better than genocide.

That's my assistant's e-mail. If
you get the manuscript, contact him.



(GROANS)

I'll take Grant.
He's going to recognise him.

Do you think we can trust him?

Run! Run!
(SCREAMS)

The purpose of Janus is to sterilise
the entire human race.

What we have is an approximation.
We're trying it on a test group.

And the test group is...?

The United Kingdom.

Where the fuck have you been?

Answer her question!

Last time I saw you,
you put a gun to my head.

I needed to get the manuscript.
I set a trap, you were bait.

I'm sorry, let's move on.

Oh, you are such a fucking twat.

Oh, you are such a fucking twat.
Where's Grant?

At the end of the manuscript

the Scientist shouts the name
of Mr Rabbit.

I gave a bunch of pages to Grant,
the name was in them.

They must be here somewhere.

I want those pages. Where is Grant?

Are we going to find Grant?

Alice, we don't know where he is.

I'm sorry.

Hey, you OK?

Hey, you OK?
What? What do you mean?

Oh, yeah. Just a bit stabbed.

What about Janus, is it there?

Wilson, is it in there?

I dunno. Well, there's this.

It's Carvel. He's hiding Janus.

You can't see what in, but he says
it's in his "greatest achievement".

And, then...

..there's this.

He's the god with two faces.

Janus.

No!

No, no!

That's our bedding!
For fuck's sake, pack it in!

Where did he put them?

I want those pages, and I want...

I know! You want Mr Rabbit.

But going off and killing him

isn't going to make your father
any less of a cock than he was.

You psychoanalysing me,
Becky? We best pals now?

You want to borrow my
lipstick?

Shit. Are you wearing make-up?

(CLEARS THROAT)

He thought no-one saw.

But he's rubbish at hiding things.

Can we get Grant back now, please?

DOOR ENTRY BUZZES, DOOR OPENS

This is a taser.

You did these drawings?

You copied them from the manuscript,
didn't you?

These numbers are a code.

We believe it describes

the molecular structure of a protein
we call Janus.

Do you know what Janus is, Grant?

You did a very, very good job.
The drawing is excellent.

But not complete.

There are three five-digit numbers
missing.

Do you remember them?

Are you sure, Grant?

Because this is very...!

There's a theory of mnemonics
that states that

human minds retain all visual
information ever seen in a lifetime.

This means youdoknow the numbers.

Mum!

That's my mum.

That's...

No!

Wave for us, Alexi.

Your camera. Wave again, Alexi.

There are many commands
I can give Alexi.

And he will obey them all.

The command I would dearly love to
give is, "stand down, Alexi."

But that depends on you.

Please! Please don't hurt my mum, please!
I'm going to leave the laptop here.

And I'm going to leave this.

and when you remember a number,
write it in, press this buzzer,

and I'll come back.

"Letan"? So, Letan is Mr Rabbit?

Who's Letan?

Jessica, who's Letan?

Jessica, who's Letan?
I have no idea!

Wilson, do you think you can hack
into central records at GCHQ?

No.

I mean, yeah, obviously, I can.
I need a computer.

Not to mention internet.

We'll be outside.

That's not to leave this room.

Could say "please."

Please, Becky, don't take
the manuscript out of this room,

or I will rip your fucking head off.

What about Grant?
We can't just leave him!

What about Grant!

Holy bloody sweaty bollocks!

DOOR ENTRY BEEPS

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Just in here.Thanks.

Doctor here? Is problem?

No, no. It's just a checkup.

We have private cover for you,
Anya,

so the doctor will be coming to you.

Er...
Just wait here, Michael.

(TV) 'Well, I hadn't caught
anything, I'd seen...

CHANGES CHANNEL

'The prime Minister has commended
the health Minister, Geoff Lawson,

'for stepping up production
of the vaccine,

'describing him as a national hero.

'He said that the Health Department's
contingency planning has

'potentially averted a crisis that
none of us could even be to imagine.'

We telling people to stay calm.

Do not travel
unless you absolutely have to.

Keep children, the elderly
and the most vulnerable at home.

We have a vaccine.

I repeat, we have a working
Russian Flu vaccine,

and it will be going out
tomorrow morning.

KNOCK ON DOOR

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

You wanted to see me?

I need you to do something.

There is a requirement, as part
of the procedural safeguards,

that the flu vaccine must be
independently tested

in situ 24 hours before its release.

That testing must be verified
by the department and of course,

to guarantee transparency,
it can't be a minister.

It has to be a civil servant.

In fact, it has to be

the private secretary with
responsibility for procurement.

I've supplied a team,
they're downstairs.

Don't question their results.

Just sign it off.

Jesus.

This is why it's me?

This whole thing
has been about that?

'Your security pass has been given
clearance. Go there, get it done.

'Then get on with your life.'

Stay back, stay back over there!

This is all the Thoraxin I have.

If I see anything odd,
anything that looks like a weapon,

it goes in the fucking lake,
I swear, do you understand?

Do you have it?
Do have the pages?

What I've got for you's in here.

What is this, some kind of joke?

No joke.

I've come to say,
you'll get nothing from me,

ever again.

Are you forgetting what's in here?

Becky, stop shitting around!

I've told them I have it -
I've got a meeting arranged...

Then you'd better run.

Then what are you here for?

To ask you for that.

To ask you to do one decent thing
in your whole life.

To ask you...
to give me those drugs.

You OK?

I don't know if the Diaz
has kicked in, you know?

The clumsiness could be
psychosomatic, stress, that happens.

My dad had full-on fits,
that's how we first knew...

I'm not going to leave you.

I just won't.

Tremors, loss of muscle control,
paralysis...

..and eventually
suffocation and death.

I don't know if I want to go through
all that with someone watching me.

Is it a code, then?

Um... Yeah, probably.

In part one, people always
thought this was binary,

but no-one has ever
been able to work it out.

But...

in this part...

there's a corresponding page...

The numbers are boring.

I like the art.

Well, can you get in?

Get in?

I am in.

It's UK security.

Practically takes your shoes off
and makes you a cup of tea.

It's the searchers
that are taking their time.

I'm having to make myself
look like a UFO nutter

just to get below the radar,

which means I've got to check
each database individually.

How many databases are there?

56,000, or thereabouts.

Why don't you take
the mobile unit outside

and check the civilian channels?

No.

I'll do it here.

DOOR OPENS SUDDENLY

I wrote it in.

Well, this looks like
we're getting somewhere.

Only two to go.

No, mate...

I can't. I've been trying so hard,
but please, I can't, I can't...

Please.

Then I'll have to bring your mother
in and torture her in front of you.

Please don't make me do that.

PHONE RINGS

'Hello.'
Hi, Anya, it's Michael.

Where is he?

I...

I... I don't know, I don't know!

Christ! I'm not...

I'm not part of them, I'm just...

Look, look, look...
I was protecting my family!

There's a woman here
who's having my child,

I was just...
I know where the vaccine is!

I can help. Please!
I want to help!

KNOCKING

(ANYA SCREAMS)

Anya, no! It's fine, it's...

Calm her down!
Calm her the fuck down!

Anya, Anya, please! It's fine,
it's OK, he's not going to hurt us.

OK?! He has gun, Michael...

OK?! He has gun, Michael...
I just need to give him
some information and it'll be OK...

Information?!

Information?!
Anya, please. I swear! It'll be OK!

No, whoa! Anya's...pregnant.

It's my child.

They blackmailed me.

So why are you helping us now?

The vaccine goes out tomorrow.

64 million shots.

The warehouse is at
164 Cantwell Way, Stevenage.

You got a computer here?

Why?
Google Maps.

If there isn't a warehouse there,
I'll blow your fucking brains out.

I'm sorry.

I was trying to protect people.

I wanted my family safe...

So you just handed us over?

Michael...he make trouble, yes?

Please, I not trust...

Anya, please! It's all right,

I promise!

There.

There... I... I want to help.

I can get you inside,
if you just trust me.

Anya, no! Don't, he's not...

Anya, no!
Don't, he's not what... (GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(ENGLISH ACCENT) I have a situation,
I need to speak to Control now.

Two minutes, no more, then.

You're... You're English?

I... I don't...

You're with them?!

Stay quiet if you want to live.

Is your name even Anya?

Oh, God, oh, God...

The baby... Is there...?

Oh, no, but there were scans,
I saw scans...

You speak again, I will fire this
into your fucking face, understand?

For fuck's sake!

(SCREAMS)

You OK? Is she...

We need to go.

How's it going?

I think I found him.

It's the minutes of a defence
department meeting in 1976,

something called
The Committee Of Genetic Discovery.

The document's redacted,
the only information is formal stuff,

like time and place
and the names of those attending.

None of those names are Letan.

But in the footnotes...

a comment attributed to Letan.

They changed his name on
all official documentation, but...

they missed the footnote.

So Letan was there...
He's one of these people.

Mm-hm.

All we need to do
is pull up their photos.

Wilson...

you've just found Mr Rabbit.

There were 18 on the committee.
Of those, 14 were men.

Six are dead, one's in
a nursing home, leaving these seven.

One of them is Letan.

One of them is Mr Rabbit.

Do you recognise any of these men?

No. None.

Do you?

So, what do we do?

We kill them.

All of them.

Are you serious?

One of them is Mr Rabbit.

But six of them aren't!
It's called collateral damage.

It's called psychopathy.
You can't just kill them all.

I mean, where are they?

How long would that take?

So we make a start.

Jessica, you're too emotionally
involved in all this.

Excuse me?

I've read the manuscript, OK?

I know what he did to you.

But this weird, freaky,
slightly sociopathic,

Oedipal thing you've got going on
is putting us all in danger.

I swear to Christ, if you don't stop
and shut your fucking mouth...

He's with them!

No, no, Alice! It's OK!

It's all right!

Fuck, Ian, you brought him here?!

No, my name is Michael Dugdale.
I'm with the Department of Health.

I'll cut your fucking face off!

I know where the vaccine is.

They're releasing it tomorrow.

The whole thing
is going out overnight.

Tomorrow morning, it'll start
going into people's arms

and there is such a lot of it.
There's 64 million shots.

Why have you got a picture of him?

Which one?

That...

That's Conran Letts' assistant.

He's the man running Corvadt.

Only one number to go, Grant.

I know, but...
Can I go home, please?

Absolutely.

Of course you can.

Jessica, it's broad daylight.
You can't just go in and whack him.

Give me my gun.

And what about the warehouse?

And what about the warehouse?
The vaccine is going out tonight.

We really need to do something.

What is the matter with you people?

How many times do I have to tell you
this all stops when he dies?

For God's sake, this is not

what you would normally do.
You would at least wait until dark.

Give me my gun.

My knife can be opening
your throat very easily.

I don't think you'd do that.

Ian?

Want to find out?

Guys, I think there's something
you should see.

Really.

You should really see this.

What is it?

It's a molecule.

It's Janus.

This is what
they've been looking for.

The vaccine is a test,
to see if it works.

But this is the real thing.

This is the real Janus.

You did well to find all this.

You're very clever.

Don't patronise me.

I like jigsaws.

I'm sorry about Grant.

I thought I was
protecting my family.

My wife and I...

..we wanted a child very badly.

We thought we had one.

We had been trying
for a very long time.

IVF?

My mum said she was going to do that,
before I was born.

Then I suddenly happened.

She said I was a miracle.

"Little Mary Miracle", she called me.

It annoyed me.

They shot her.

I saw it.

Would you like to talk about it?

(INAUDIBLE CHAT)

So he experimented on you?

Carvel?

It's in the manuscript.

In the published version,
the devil imprisons me.

But in the manuscript,
it's my father,

holding me, like all the others,
to use for experiments.

I was hardly a living thing
as far as they were concerned.

They both deserve death.

And you think this is going
to make you feel better?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do, actually.

(SOBS)

Who have we got it going to?

46 scientists, two Nobel
Laureates, nine politicians,

several police forces
and a shedload of journalists.

So this is it.

We press that button...

..and everything's out there.

All of it.

Listen, Ian,
do you think this is right?

I mean, Janus is the biggest
thing in history, ever.

And we're here,

at the centre of it.

What are you talking about?

There is a future coming

where billions of us are going
to be born into poverty.

And we are going to murder
each other in war

for water, food and oil.

That is coming.

Maybe in our lifetime.

The Network's the enemy.

But what if the enemy is right?

Press the button, Wilson.

They might think it's a hoax.
Think they'll take it seriously?

Yeah.

At least they will when we burn
the warehouse to the ground.

I downloaded some blueprints -

a map of the Corvadt building,
showing the office.

I want to go with you.

I'm not going to be much good lugging
cans of petrol round a warehouse.

Look...they killed my dad, Jessica.

They destroyed my life, too.

You ready, then?

You're very brave.
But try not to look so scared.

Right.

Just hang it there. See?

Don't get the gun out until
you get to the video room.

Then you make him
disable all relays, OK?

And what if he
doesn't do what I say?

Hit him with the gun.

What, like with the fat end?

Yeah. The fat end.

All right?

OK.

Thank you.

I've seen one of these before.
They're based on the Y-GAN protocol,

which is actually quite sloppy.
If we can access the reader,

then maybe we can...

Or, yeah, we could just do that.

I don't get why there's no guards.

I don't get it.

You didn't send the email?

I freed Letts.

And I pushed the knife into
my own stomach because...

..theyareright.

Just give me the manuscript.

ELECTRONIC BUZZER.
DOOR UNLOCKS, THEN OPENS.

This isn't right. This is
just cohesi-9 modified.

That's the number, mate.
That is the one, I swear.

But I got a number wrong when I
drew it so I changed that. Look.

Which one?

Which one's wrong?

That one. Look.

HE GROANS

We can't be the people that
destroys humanity's chance at life.

We can't.

I'm not giving it to you.

Jessica, please don't.

Please don't.

Stand down, Alexi.

Jessica.

This is my Dad.

It's all I've got.

I'm not giving him to you.

Please.

LIFT DOOR PINGS

(GROANING)

Are you all right?

Grant?

Have you seen this man?

He's dead.

I killed him, Jessica.

Come on.

What about Wilson?

WhataboutWilson?

FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING

BECKY GASPS

Is this all of them?

It is. That was all we were told.

Are you sure? I don't
want any nasty surprises.

Jessica Hyde, for example.

She's not with these.

Please, Alice.

What?
The girl.

Don't make her see.

Yes, of course.

Alice, is it?

Mm-hmm.

Now what I want you to
do is to pop in there,

close your eyes very tight and count
to 99. Will you do that for me?

And Alice, it's very important
that you don't run or hide, OK?

Good girl.

You... You're not going to kill us?

Why would I kill you?

But you sent Alice in...
She's 12. Christ, Ian,

what do I have to do to convince
you people I'm on your fucking side?

We thought you were dead!

Well, apparently I'm not.

We haven't much time.
I understand you have petrol?

SLOW PIANO MUSIC

Grant!

Where's Wilson?

(Fuck.)

BIRDS TWITTERING

All right then, shithead...

Let's give it a go.

No-one's come.

They know we're here and must know we
did it, but no-one's come for us.

We're going to Fortingall.

The Highlands of Scotland,
we're catching a train to Glasgow.

Bit remote, isn't it?

Yes.

Leona said to give it
a month before returning.

We're pretending it's a holiday.

That's how long she reckons they'll
need to mop up everyone else, if...

She has the manuscript.

We have to give it to her.

Jessica.

She needs it to end all this.

MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY

So, what?

Alice is going with him?

Yes.

She wants to.

Because she's alone.

They want a child.

Yeah, but he's a cock.

I don't reckon she'll go with him.

Are you all right to come with us?

Just until we get all this sorted
and get you back to your mum?

I don't reckon she'll go with him.

Yeah, it's probably for the best.

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

You going with that dickhead?

I'll miss you, twat.

(STIFLED CRY)

Jessica.

It is so good to meet you.

It's fine.
I'll take you through.

I promise you, it'll be fine.

It's in there?

The last thing we want is
for what's in that manuscript

to become public knowledge.

This way I can use it,
then destroy it.

Jessica...

It needs to be like this.

I'm just going to get
the tickets, all right?

Wait here, I'll get us
a secure room.

When you're ready,
you can show me.

Does that sound OK?

Do you need anything?
Tea, or...?

No, thank you.

Argh!

Becky...

Becky!

Becky!

Help!

Jesus Christ!

She just started,
I don't know what happened.

She just started...

Becky.

Is she OK?

Becky, Becky.

Are you all right?

Is your head all right,
did you bang your head?

Did I fit?

Was that a fit?

Did I fit, Ian?

Shh...

Ian...Ian...
We'll get you some help.
All right?

Can I have some water, please?

Please...

Sit with her.

Don't leave her.

Are you all right?

Ta, Paul.

INAUDIBLE VOICES

'My dad wrote it down.

'It is so good to meet you.

'People always let you down.

'This way I can use it...'

'It's called, "toe the line."

'I usually did that.

'From a long plateau in Canada.

'He used to say,

' "This rock gives you
permission to do anything."

'Please, Mr Rabbit.

'Are you sure you don't remember
the name of Mr Rabbit?

'This all stops when he dies.

'Who's Mr Rabbit?

'I have no idea.

'There are 18 on the committee.
Those 14 were men.

'He's one of these people.

'All we need to do is put
up their photos.

'Do you recognise any of these men?

'One of these is Mr Rabbit.

'I have no idea.

'She's like us, works in secret.

'Trusts no-one.

'Who's Mr Rabbit?

'Milner, her name's Milner...

Stop!

Oh, our train is leaving.

But...

Go find Ian.

But he said, "Stay with you."

Quick! Quick, or we'll miss it.

Becky says the train's leaving now.

What?

It's not for another ten...

Stay here, don't move.
Just stay here!

WHISTLE BLOWS

(MILNER) You can go.

Here to ground kill.

A man so dedicated to the cause

that he carved lines
into his own flesh

to act as cover.

That's how important
this is, Jessica.

But you helped burn
the warehouse, the vaccine,

you destroyed it...

The vaccine may well have worked.

It may not have.

We never had
the genius of your father.

Once I found out that he had
finished Janus,

I knew that was all that mattered.

His work, Jessica.

Yeah, well, fuck you.

Fuck both of you,
it's over.

I burned it.

I destroyed your work,
Janus is gone!

That?

Oh, that's just a bunch of old
drawings done by a crazy man.

I only wanted that because I knew
you'd be the one bringing it.

GUN SHOT

GUN SHOT
Argh!

Sorry.

I don't want you jumping.

From the moment you were born
he just fell in love.

He considered you his
'greatest achievement'.

And that's where he hid Janus.

It's in me?

You should be happy.

Isn't that what you've
always wanted? Daddy's love?

Daddy loved you so much he hid
the most important thing

the world has ever known...

..in you.

We'd better get started, you and I.

We have so much to do.
