Fortitude (2015) s01e12 Episode Script
Episode Twelve
Tech department have enhanced this GPR scan and you won't believe what Pettigrew found.
If it's not Jason, then it's someone ruthless enough to cave a man's skull in.
Does he think I even care about that stupid drill now? Jason's really sick.
If larvae are passed into a living host, then that host is food.
The trouble with larvae is you don't know what they are till they pupate and hatch.
There in the day, come to me Straight into my arms I tried to caress it Ooh, ooh But it ran through my fingers Ah, ah-ah Water will keep running Rivers will turn Water will keep running And rivers will turn Water will keep running And rivers will turn Water will keep running And rivers will turn.
Don't come in! And don't, don't make noise! What the fuck are those things? They were inside her.
Came through her skin.
Are they stinging you, Vincent? When I move, they stung.
Wasps.
Parasitical wasps.
If they get out, this will spread.
We have to kill them all.
How do we kill them without killing Vincent? Natalie, we have to kill them all.
G-gas gas, gas g-gas.
We burn them! Come on! Okay.
Is this, uh an explosive mix? It's oxygen and hydrogen.
Very! Oof! Okay.
Okay.
The delivery valves! Open the delivery valves! Okay.
Once the room is filled, how do we ignite? Wait.
Wait! Vincent! Vincent! Help! Help! Okay, okay! Okay! Okay.
There you go.
Vincent? He's not breathing! Okay.
Um Don't you die on me! Have you got a knife? Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's anaphylactic shock.
His throat's closed! Here.
Okay.
Hold his arms.
Don't let him move.
Okay.
It did it! Good.
Good.
Good.
It's okay.
We've got you.
It's okay.
It's okay! It's okay.
We've got you.
It's okay, it's okay.
I've got you.
Oh It's okay.
I'm so sorry, Margaret.
Zero-one-six-nine.
Eight-three-one-five.
Eight-three-one- five-zero-one- six-nine.
Shovel! X marks the spot.
Yeah.
Come.
Come, Max.
Where do you think the treasure is? What treasure could be buried out here? Fix this.
Fix it? What's wrong with it? It doesn't fucking work.
I don't want to die down a fucking hole starving in the dark.
So fix it.
Parasites that lay their eggs in a live creature, a live host, then they hatch and consume the creature from the inside out.
Margaret Allerdyce was eaten alive from the inside out by insects? I think they're wasps.
; Wasps? Wh-Where have these things come from? Well, they're prehistoric-- there's no recorded instance of a human ever being parasited by an Ichneumonidae.
So this is the first time this species has been in contact with a human population.
Because Fortitude has only been inhabited for a hundred years.
They're way older than that.
So where could they have come from? Permafrost.
They could survive, frozen in the permafrost? If they were in a larval state inside something else, something that protected them.
So we have to find Jason? I'm gonna take you home, sweetie.
Your dad'll stay here.
Do his job.
We'll go home.
You and me.
Back to England.
You'll see your dad when he visits.
Just like when he was a soldier.
That will be best, won't it? Everything how it was.
That'll be best.
Come on.
Yeah.
Jason never showed you this? Never mentioned what he'd found? No, I've never seen that thing before in me life.
You know he attacked Natalie Yelburton? Jason's out there and the whole town is in a state close to panic.
Where would he go? If he was in trouble? Where would he hide? He'd come home to me.
He's not himself.
HANNA Mummy? Jason found the remains of a mammoth.
Now, we think those remains are hazardous.
Infectious.
So we're all in danger, Celia, all of us.
Especially Jason.
Could you please We must find him.
There you go Come on.
Hi.
I am required to ask you if you feel safe in Fortitude.
I am required to ask you if you have any plans to leave Fortitude.
Are you seeing anybody? Is that an official question? Elena? Forgive me.
In my head.
The way I felt about you.
Caused all this pain.
Please forgive me.
Perdóname.
Por favor.
Okay Yep, seems to be working fine now, all right? Shit! Have you told anyone? About this place? No.
Max? Fuck.
Put the gun down.
Get down to your knees.
You! Hey! Hey! Don't give me this shit, do as I say, now! On your knees! Max! Motherfucker! Why don't we settle this like real men? With pleasure.
We put down the guns On my count.
One.
Two.
Three.
Like real men.
What? Motherfu Get up! Oh, motherfucker! Listen.
Okay.
Okay, listen to me.
Please.
It was brought to me by fate.
The glacier hotel is a shit.
A piece of shit.
It will never happen! It is not possible! The glacier moves! You cannot build a hotel on it! Your wife is a crazy woman, man.
A crazy bitch.
I knew You'd love me as long As you wanted Mm-mm.
And then someday You'd leave me for somebody New Worry Why do I let myself Worry? Wondering What in the world Did I do Oh, crazy For thinking Listen.
Why don't you help me with dig.
Help you? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
We go down to the treasure and bring the treasure to surface.
What treasure? What treasure? You know what treasure! Pettigrew found the treasure under the ice! I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Don't lie! You know! This is They killed Pettigrew for this map.
What? Bill Pettigrew found it, and this is the place.
Come on! Eric, we found Jason.
We have him under arrest.
Right.
I still need to talk to him, so Okay.
Thanks, Ciaran.
Listen, I know what happened to you.
The thing you found has made you very, very ill.
And I know that the mammoth is real.
You found it, didn't you? Jason, would you look at me? Now, I need you to tell me where it is.
Jason, you are the only one who can help us all now.
When you tell me where the mammoth can be found, all of this will stop.
Everything will be fine again.
Listen, Jason, I'm going to trust you now.
I'm going to unlock your handcuffs.
Governor, he might be dangerous.
Give me the key.
Okay.
So, Jason, where is it? Where's the mammoth? Cold store.
Behind the supermarket.
Thank you.
Poor boy.
These they are the reason for all this? The Ichneumonidae Charles Darwin considered their life cycle to be inimical to the notion of a benevolent creator.
I see.
A loving God could not have created something so wicked.
Or so he thought.
Parasitical wasp larvae.
Frozen, inside the mammoth.
Permafrost thaws.
Frozen wasp thaws.
Wasp injects eggs into human bloodstream.
This is what happened to Shirley? Yes, the eggs develop inside the host.
The host is compelled to find a victim.
Hacks open their thoracic cavity.
Vomits.
Larvae develop inside secondary host.
Wasps erupt from Dr.
Allerdyce and attack attack scientist.
That's the best hypothesis I can give you based on available data.
Subject to revision.
And they are inside him now, these little eggs? Don't know.
Hello?! Are you down there?! And what if this theory is nonsense? What if gentle Shirley Allerdyce attacked her mother because for years her mother had belittled her? What if Shirley was reacting to me? And I am cause of her pain and self-loathing? No.
What? He said no.
No? We always seek excuses for our baser selves.
We're always victims of circumstance.
Not responsible.
Well, maybe when we do bad things for good reason, we must still face the consequences.
The child is in torment.
A father takes action.
Will there be no consequences? You.
And you.
You cut Shirley open to further research.
Will there be no consequences? We had no choice.
Hmm.
Well, it is not wasps that should make one doubt the existence of a benevolent God.
It is us, his children.
Jason, they've done it.
They've set the thing on fire.
They've done it.
Ronnie's in the house.
Jason?! We've identified a pathogen, and we've identified a marker in the blood which will tell us whether or not someone's infected.
Well, that's what I'm saying, Alstad.
We can prevent an epidemic if we Listen, I'll call you back.
Look, I know Please let me speak.
Oh, God.
The only thing that I ever cared for in my sorry life, Hildy, is you.
I betrayed you.
My love.
My only love.
I miss you.
I miss you so much.
I got your drill back.
Thought you might need it.
Eric Elena? Elena, I got frozen bolognaise! We can have spaghetti.
Elena? Elena? Elena? Elena? Elena, are you okay? Can I come in, please? Who did this to you? You're really hot.
I'll get you some water.
Elena? Elena? Elena?! Elena? Elena, where are you? Cordon off the area.
Yes.
I'm so sorry, Celia.
He said that "Ronnie's in the house.
" Ronnie? Mm.
Dan? Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Ah.
Elena! Don't do this.
Please.
Don't do this.
Please.
No! Dan.
Ronnie Morgan's house.
Shooting and stabbing.
News? Very few of the 60,000 known species of Ichneumonidae achieve sexual maturity within less than 48 hours.
So the chances are that you were only stung.
Multiple times in multiple places.
But there is a chance that there are no eggs in your bloodstream.
Chances? We'll know.
We'll know in a day or two.
I'd be dead already if it wasn't for you.
You know what? It was quick thinking.
Gas.
Explosion.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm here.
I'm here.
Motherfuckers! I think about you all the time.
You're all I see.
The darkness and the daylight.
All the time.
Her thoughts went high for me The police still seek for me Her thoughts won't fight for me Oh, please just finish me Ee, ee, ee, ee, ee.
