Utopia (2013–2014): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

In exchange for new identities for his partner and her daughter Arby delivers Donaldson to Lee, who promptly shoots him. Ian discovers more about the synthesized virus and goes to Dugdale's house, where he meets Jessica - who tells him that Milner is Mr Rabbit - though he makes no mention of Anton. Though Anton would appear to be a Romanian Holocaust survivor he suddenly tells Becky and Ian in perfect English that he met a woman known as Mr Rabbit, with whom he formulated Janus, which he now bitterly regrets. Milner introduces Wilson to a fellow fanatic Paul, one of five designated pilots who will spray various regions of the world with a crop duster containing the virus. Wilson is horrified and wants out. His family held hostage Dugdale is visited by Milner in her search for Ian, though she encounters a gun-wielding Jessica whilst Arby makes off with Phillip and Grant.

Three, two, one.

Get it! Come on!
Come on, here we go!

Yes, come on!

Congratulations!

Oh, my gosh!

All right! Congratulations,
ma'am.

You are going to San Francisco!

Hello?

Who?

It's Grace Kaukonen for you?

Who?



She sounds British.

Hello?

Yeah, I see.

Yeah, no problem. I'll...

Yeah, I'll be right there.

You gotta go now?
It's 9.30.

That's what 24 hours means,
honey.

Waste pipe broke.
They got sewage spilling into the rec room.

Running toward
the ball, he grabs, reaching out...

he makes a backhanded catch
and then slams against the fencing...

spinning away from the wall
in the end after a fabulous catch...

retiring fades
and ending the night for the poor Sox.

No!

- No!
- Danny? Leanne!



- Panj familii.
- Anton?

Janus.
You're all going to die.

I want to help you, and I believe this is
right. It's just I... I don't think I can.

Do you think
I wanted to be Mr. Rabbit?

Well, I'm alive.

I have Christian Donaldson.
But I want Amanda and Tess safe.

- Jessica's gone.
- What?

Philip?

Philip Carvel?

- Philip Carvel's alive.
- Philip's alive?

We need to talk.

To test a nuclear device
on the Kazakh border.

Now China is claiming that this was
previously a nuclear testing site..

But there is little doubt that this is
Beijing drawing a line in the sand.

- We await a response...
- You want to speak to me?

You have something to tell...

Fucking... fuck!

How long have I been asleep?

Two days, straight through.

Can I have some food, please?

Remember this?

- Philip?
- Jesus, don't call him Philip.

Why not? Pietre and Donaldson are out
and Grant's in his own world.

We've been here for two days.
Why the hell are we doing nothing?

- And what is it you wanna do?
- Look.

He saw a news story and said,
"Janus, you're all gonna die."

It was USNC News, an American network,
which means we can't get it online.

- So we need to break into their offices.
- What?

We need to steal it and show it to Anton,
then we go and talk to Dugdale.

Break in? What are you on?
And fucking Dugdale's with them.

- I don't believe he is.
- And your judgment's so great.

What does that mean?

No, no, come on.
Let's have it out.

- You called Milner.
- Oh, here we go.

After everyone saying, "Don't call Milner,
don't call Milner," you called Milner.

- It was a mistake.
- Was it? Was it, Ian?

Are you that fucking stupid?

Or... are you actually
quite fucking smart?

Your insults are getting increasingly
cryptic. What the hell are you saying?

Maybe you're doing stupid stuff
cos you want it more dangerous.

Oh, for Christ's sake, Becky!

- You're getting off on it.
- This is fucking psychobabble.

It's not IT any more,
is it, Ian?

Getting a buzz, are you?
Nice little danger bone.

Gonna nip off
for a little five-finger froufrou?

And you're obsessed with wanking.

Well, let's face it, you're not into me
any more, are you?

No. No, I am not.

Right. Can I ask why?

Ask your pal.

Donaldson.

Fuck's sake!
Why's Anton drawing on my Utopia?

It's time you knew something.

But you can't tell
anyone this, Grant, all right?

Anton is Philip Carvel.

Nah.

What, Anton? Mad Anton?

Do you remember anything else
about that story?

Are you sure it wasn't...
it wasn't about the vaccine or V Day?

Nah, it was just about a cat
on a fucking Hoover.

Anton went nuts.

Right, I'm going.

Fuck this.
I can't just sit here.

China is the largest consumer
of wheat in the world.

Its harvest is fading.
It's not just gonna roll over.

Yes, but it cannot be allowed
to flaunt international law.

America's right. It should be closed
now it's a peak market...

These are nice.

- Did you use salt?
- Er... yeah, but just a pinch.

It's nice.

Tasty. Do you do that
while you're cooking them, or after?

Er... after.
Otherwise you... you lose flavour.

Actually...

do you mind if we talk about you
breaking in with a knife...

and not my eggs?

So you're in charge
of the vaccine, Michael?

Look, look,
I... I know how this looks.

But I thought all... all this,
er... Janus stuff was over.

And Geoff said
we had to keep making the vaccine.

You know, all the fuss last year.
He couldn't just stop...

Well, he... well, he paid me!

Money!

Jessica, I am not with them.

Michael, don't worry.

If I thought you were with them,
you'd be dead.

I know who Mr. Rabbit is.

- Mr. Rabbit's dead. Grant killed him.
- Mr. Rabbit's alive.

I won't tell you who.

I've put you in enough danger,
and you've been really kind to me.

I'm sorry your wife left you.

And you must miss Alice.

Look, I'll stay a day or two.

I'm trying to find Ian.

Well, there was something
between him and me, you know?

Oh, right.
Because I thought, er... Becky...

Yeah.

I like Becky.

She's not for him, though.

Can I ask what we're doing here?

Excuse me.

Why... why am I here?

Oh, nice. Live feed.

Where is that? Greece?

Albania?

- Am I getting a new identity too?
- Yeah. Albania, I reckon.

No CCTV.
Cash-based culture.

Yeah.

Albania's where I'd go
if I was retiring.

So, erm...
what the fuck's going on?

Arby's saving his family.

- Oh, I... I didn't see you as a family man.
- This is all about family.

Oh, here we go.

See?
Tess and Amanda are safe.

- Hello?
- Tess? It's me, Pietre.

Pietre, what's going on?

- These men, they... they just took us.
- Tess, please, you have to listen.

I need you both to look up to your right
and into the camera, now.

Amanda, look over here, please.

That is the last time
you can ever do that.

In the bag,
there are new identities.

- But what... I...
- You can never go home.

You can never use
bank accounts or e-mail.

You can never contact
anyone you once knew.

Go east.

After half a mile
is a blue Toyota.

Drive to the location on the map,
and start a new life.

Are... are you coming too?

- No. You will never see me again.
- But... Why?

Can you both look into the camera
for one moment more, please?

Thank you.

Throw the phone away.

Kept my side
of the bargain, matey.

Ciao for now.

What about the rest?
Things have changed, Arby.

I can't really tell you why,
but we need them. All of them.

Right now.

It's very, very important.

Where is Jessica Hyde?

- Leah told me Philip Carvel's alive?
- Yes.

After all these years.

I can't tell you how that feels.
It feels...

I have someone after him.
We're close. He'll be with us soon.

And this adjustment, is it...?
He'll tell us what it is?

Cos we're making it, Milner.

We're making the vaccine with Janus in it.
If there's anything wrong...

He put it inside Jessica,
Wilson.

He would never harm her.
He loved her.

And you're willing to gamble
everything on that love?

Yes. Yes, of course I am.

Don't you understand yet?

I need you, Wilson. You.

This whole thing comes down to the kind of
people we are. You, me, Philip.

What are you saying? I don't get this.
I don't get what you're trying...

To get the manuscript,
we killed eight children.

We went into a school, shot them dead,
and blamed it on Grant.

I made that choice, that plan.
What do you think of that?

Why are you telling me this?

There's someone
I need you to meet.

Philip?

Philip.

Please.

Look, we know you speak English,
so bloody speak it now!

Why did they put
that number on his arm?

The Network. They tattooed a number
on his arm. Why did they do that?

Oh, my God.

Anton.

So, what, Anton's Jewish, then?

Well, I don't know.

There were loads of people in the
Holocaust. He could be any one of them.

Hold your hands out.

Parbyndyn zayn rikht hant.

Yiddish?

- Ain't that a bit racist?
- No. Stupid.

Okay.

Not that one.

Berühren Sie die rechte Hand.

Okay.

La mână dreapta.

Fucking hell. You did it.

It's Romanian.
He's speaking Romanian.

Right, stay here.
I'll be back soon.

What the hell
are you doing here?

What the hell are you doing here?
This place is disgusting.

Put your food
in the waste basket!

We are not your servants.
We are human beings.

Sorry, sorry.
I... I don't normally work here. I just...

Dugdale?

It's me!

Ian.

What the fuck?

Have you been running?

You're out of breath.

Er... yeah, I was.

Jessica, what are you doing?

- No, no, hang on. Hang on. Wait.
- No, I'm not waiting.

I'm not fucking waiting at all.

2050. That's when fish stocks run out.
Do you fucking get that?

- Course. It's...
- 2080, end of gas. 2090, end of oil.

Those figures don't come from Greenpeace
or Friends of the fucking Earth.

They come from BP.

If demand for fertiliser
increases at current rates...

phosphates end this century,
and that means no food.

- I know. You don't have to tell me.
- Do you? Because I don't think you do.

If you really knew, you'd understand
that we have no choice.

You're just like Philip.
You can't let go of morality.

But what we must do
puts us beyond morality.

What are we doing here?

This is Paul.
What do you do, Paul?

- I'm assistant manager at...
- Tell Wilson what you really do.

Paul is one of three people trained
to do one very, very special thing.

It's okay.
Tell him everything.

If I am chosen,
I will receive a call.

The moment I do,
I shall walk out of my life.

I will go into hiding
until just nine days before V Day...

when I will go to a car park in Denham.
A car will be waiting.

It has been adapted
to store a canister...

that will have been slowly coming down
in temperature for nearly 90 days.

When I get there, what's inside
the canister will be thawed...

ready for release.

Do you know what's inside?

Yeah. Inside is an extremely deadly
variant of Russian influenza.

I will take it to a crop-duster
at Denham airfield...

which I'll fly over a 35-square-mile
area, releasing the virus onto those below.

I will repeat this
at four other as-of-yet...

undisclosed locations
all over the world.

Does it bother you that we're going to
release a deadly virus?

Well, we have a vaccine.

Many will die before it works.
You will have killed them.

- But I will have saved everyone.
- Are you worried about dying?

- Chances are you will be infected.
- No, I'm not worried about dying at all.

I'm going to save the world.

You should see your face.

You're worried
Becky'll find out?

I won't tell.

Why are you here, Jessica?

- Is Dugdale with them?
- No.

He's just doing what he has to.

And I came looking for you.

Where did you get the scars?

I, erm...

I should never have brought
the manuscript to Milner.

Janus wasn't in Utopia.
It was in me.

I was the first person
to get the vaccine.

My own dad did that to me.

Your dad?
You mean Philip Carvel?

So you've nothing
to worry about, Ian.

I'm sterile.

Shall we do it again?

What is wrong with you?

Do you want some eggs?

I'll make some eggs.

Okay.
Car pick you up in five minutes.

How many will die?

Typically, mortality in a flu virus
comes in waves.

We hope the vaccine
will kick in on the first wave...

and the virus
will be eradicated.

First wave, 1,200, 1,500 people.

If it goes into the second wave, it will
almost certainly be tens of thousands.

God. Jesus Christ, Milner.

But think what
we will have done, Wilson.

- This can't be the only way.
- We've been planning this for 30 years.

If there was another way,
we'd know.

I've told you everything.

You need to tell me
if you can live with this.

Can you live with this?

Wilson, can you live with...?

I need you to say it.

Yes.

I can...

live with this.

- Where did you get this man?
- Fuck's it got to do with you?

- You're the translator. Translate.
- Grant.

He's... our neighbour.

- He's ill.
- Neighbour?

Live next door
to your nice unfinished hotel?

Why not call 999?

We'll give you £500 cash.

Pleased to meet you.

My name is Marius.

Let us begin.

O del si lasho.

That not Romanian.

That Romani.

Romani, language of the Roma people.
Gypsy people, yes?

You racist bastards.

You think all Roma is from Romania.
Is not. Roma many places.

Bulgaria, Poland, Spain.

Romani different language,
like Welsh to English.

Do you speak fucking Welsh?

- Yeah, I do, actually.
- Doesn't matter.

- But...
- You still racist.

He was speaking Romanian.

Vorbesti Romaneste?

Da, eu vorbesc limba Română.

This Roma is from Romania.

Coincidence. You still racist.

- What's going on?
- Becky found a way to speak to Anton...

through twat-face.

Is twat-face me?

Ian was here.

What? Here?
What... what did he want?

Who knows what that boy wants?

Are you okay, Jessica?

It's Milner.

Milner's Mr. Rabbit.

I'm sorry.

I can't bear everything
on my own.

I need someone to trust.

You okay? You seem odd.

I'm not odd.

Odd? No, I'm fine. Why?

Well, you haven't busted my nuts
about bringing Marius here, for a start.

Look, are we gonna do this?

- This man is a survivor?
- Yes, he is. Ask him about it.

- De unde ai luat asta?
- Am fost in Bełżec.

Fuck.

Bełżec concentration camp.

Very bad for Roma people,
very bad.

Familia mea, mama, fratii, verii -
toti omorati.

Mother, father, brothers, cousins -
whole family, all killed.

Jesus Christ.

He always hear the hissing...

gas released.

End of war, he break incinerator.
Sabotage, yes?

So, they take out the bodies,
dump the bodies in the wood.

He hide in bodies.

Two days.
He five years old.

Am crescut, am vrut să imi folosesc
mintea pentru face ca asa...

Grow up...

want use mind,
make never happen again.

- Jesus, who is this guy?
- Just carry on.

But then he meet...
Mr. Rabbit?

Is that right, Mr. Rabbit?

- He say she was incredible.
- She?

- Mr. Rabbit was a man.
- No.

He was feminine.

They work together, make a thing
that solve... all world's problems?

Is it Janus?

You made Janus?

And does Janus work, Anton?

- Yes, it will work perfectly.
- Fuck. He speaks English?

But not in the way she thinks.

She said we couldn't choose.

I made an adjustment.

I...

I wanted to help evolution,
you see.

- I chose.
- You mean a race?

- You chose a race?
- I did.

Oh, God, I did.

And which race did you choose?

You show him
cat dressed like shark?

Panj familii!

- What the fuck?
- Panj familii!

- What does that mean, "panj familii"?
- I don't know.

Familii means "families". Panj is Romani,
it means "five". Five families.

- And what does "five families" mean?
- Why the fuck you ask me?

- Look, that's where he freaked.
- Yeah?

Look at the bottom.
Man kills his family, Hartwell, Georgia.

Hang on.
There was a story like that here as well.

A man killed his family
out of the blue.

Five families.
So there's three more?

Okay, you guys
are fucking freaking me out.

- What the fuck is going on?
- Oh, no.

No, no, no, no.

Philip is with Ian.
This is how we're going to get him.

The guards here are Ml5,
by the way.

They know nothing about us.

Hello, Roy.
My name is Milner.

Where's your brother?
Where's Ian?

I don't know.
I've no idea.

- Are you sure, Roy?
- Yes. Why am I here?

I'm in handcuffs.
They put a hood on me.

Did Ian say anything
about me, Roy?

For example, did he say to you,
"Milner is Mr. Rabbit"?

- What are you doing?
- No. No, he never said that.

Are you sure?

He never used the phrase,
"Milner is Mr. Rabbit"?

No.
Who's... who's Mr. Rabbit?

Keep questioning,
but in one hour set him free.

Send him home.

Why did you do that?

- You told him that you were Mr...
- We need Philip.

He's with Ian.

Roy has no idea
where his brother is.

But when Ian discovers that we've
killed Roy... Well, he has a mother.

Killed? No, wait.
Just hang on a minute!

In a few days, I'm going to call
either Paul or one of the other two.

I'll give a command,
a command that only I know...

and in about 90 days
that person will release...

the most deadly flu
this world has ever seen.

Everyone will take the vaccine.
Everyone will willingly take Janus.

It'll be chaos, it will,
but in less than 100 years...

there'll be no more than
500 million people on this planet.

We will have created Utopia.

But if those three men walk out
of that room knowing who I am...

then in all probability,
all of that disappears.

Hey.

No, look, Milner. Can...
Can we just talk about this a minute?

Cos I... I can't...

I need you, Wilson.

I need someone.

I wish I could leave you as that
beautiful boy that I met, but I can't.

No, I... I can't.
I just... I just can't.

I've been making
decisions like this for 40 years.

Every day.

This decision,
I'm leaving with you.

I nicked a bunch of Reuters files
with the same date on.

There's one here called the global
news index. It catalogues all stories.

What do I look up?

Er... family annihilation?

Right, there's five.

All on the same day.

The one here was in a place
called Denham, off the M25.

Then the one in America,
then killings in Roseira, Brazil...

Ratanda, South Africa,
and Laishui near Beijing.

I was working with Donaldson.

Last time, when this happened.
He wanted the manuscript.

He has access to an experimental drug,
Thoraxin, that works on Deel's.

He said if that I didn't get him what he
wanted, then I wouldn't have the drugs.

But at... at the last minute I told him
to go fuck himself, and I had that fit...

and I'm so sorry that I haven't told you
and I've regretted it for so long.

I just wanted everything to be
out in the open between us, okay?

Everything.

Nice jacket. How come a knob-face
like you has suddenly grown a sense...

Grant, for fuck's sake! We're doing
something. Will you just piss off?

Where did that come from?

- Look, Grant, I'm sorry, I...
- Yeah? Sorry, is it?

You made me a killer.
Everyone still thinks I did it.

- And then you made me dead, Ian.
- Grant, put the gun...

No.
You don't tell me what to do no more.

No-one does.

Stay very still, mate.

Stay very fucking still.

They've got Jen and Alice.

They've got my family.

Michael?

I'm gonna help you
get your family back.

I promise.

I'll go.

I'll slip out the back.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Michael.
How lovely to see you.

- I wasn't expecting to see you.
- Well, no, of course not.

Er... I'm sorry to barge in, Michael.
It... it's just... I'm looking for Ian.

Ian?
Why... why do you want Ian?

Why?

- He's wanted for murder, Michael.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.

- Had you forgotten?
- I had.

I'd fucking...

- What an idiot.
- Oh, so much on your plate.

Ian believes The Network
are running again.

The person he killed
he thought was with them.

Look, I've tried
everywhere else.

I thought there was a remote chance
he'd come to you.

No, no, no, he's not been here.

I didn't think so.
It's just I'm getting rather desperate.

Well, that's it, really.
I'll be off, leave you to it.

Actually,
could I have some water?

- I'll get it. Kitchen through here?
- Yeah.

- Are you religious, Michael?
- No.

No, not... not at all.

Thought not.

Me neither.

Don't even fucking blink.

What, here?

No, don't be silly. But...

- But I have things to do.
- Yeah.

- That's why I'm killing you.
- Don't be silly, Jessica.

- This isn't... I mean, this...
- It is.

It really is.

Your father's alive.

Look at me.

Look at me, Jessica.

I'm not lying.
You can see that.

He's with Ian.

Ian has Philip.

Let's go see him.

Together.

When you kill,
you don't feel nothing, do you?

No.

For me it's like unscrewing a bottle
to get to the water.

Yeah.

And no-one fucks with you.

They do.
They just do it different.

Will you teach me to shoot?

Yes.

Will you teach me to kill?

No, I don't think I will.

Where are the others?

Up there, talking to Anton,
now they've figured out who he is.

What do you mean, who he is?

Who is Anton?

I'm... not really
supposed to say.

Look at this: Hartwell, Georgia,
where the American bloke killed his family.

Middle of fucking nowhere.

The only thing that's interesting
is that it has an airfield.

Light aircraft, crop-dusters,
that sort of thing.

- Okay.
- And it's 80 miles from Atlanta airport...

the busiest airport
in the world.

It's the same with Denham.

It has a tiny airfield, but it's en route
to Heathrow and Gatwick.

It... it's the same
with all these places.

If you were going to spread flu,
that's how you'd do it.

Crop-dusters
in the middle of nowhere...

but en route to some of
the busiest airports in the world.

Where these families were killed, that's
where they're releasing the virus from.

But why... why kill families?
Why... why kill innocent...

To cover our tracks.

They are sleeper agents.

Trained or brainwashed.

Their job is to tend the virus.

When they get the call, they place it
in a designated location...

then they kill themselves
and their families.

All traces gone.

That's how we work, you see.

Families.

Children.

We are...

appalling.

Dovada.

Dovada.

- Dovada.
- What does that mean, "dovada"?

Dovada means "proof".
It means "proof".

Why you got the fucking gun?

Go. Go, go, go.

Go on.

Ian!

No, no, no, please!

Please don't.

Please.

You're coming with us.

Don't move! Don't move!

Chi sim bi-doshalo.

Grant...

Grant!

Don't.

No, no, don't do that.

Don't. Please.
Please don't do that. Don't.

Please. Please!
