The Head (2020) s02e06 Episode Script

Fuck!
Don't you fucking move an inch.
Put your hands up.
The Alexandria was found adrift at
1,200 miles from the Chilean coast
by a Japanese fishing ship
that went to its rescue.
It had spent weeks in the
waters of the South Pacific.
The ship was undertaking
scientific research,
therefore, the details of
which are unknown.
The authorities have confirmed that one
of the Alexandria's passengers
has been found alive.
The survivor is expected, who is being
to clarify what happened.
Finding it hard to cope?
Not really.
I have a purpose.
- I know that feeling.
- Oh, please.
We're nothing alike.
I haven't done all this for
something as petty as revenge.
See, that's what you
never understood.
I didn't do this just
to avenge my mother.
I had to make sure you
never did it again.
I had to destroy you.
I'm doing what I
was destined to do.
You can't fight the
will of the universe.
So you're the star we
should all dance around?
Not yet.
But soon.
Soon.
You're pathetic.
You're a tiny man with a
black hole in your heart.
And that darkness will
keep growing, and growing,
and suck everything into it
until there's nothing left,
not even you.
If that's the case,
then I've already been swallowed.
I'll be waiting for you on land.
- Yeah?
- It's me.
Open up. It's done.
Where is my case?
Here it is. Your Holy Grail.
Now you get me
back to my family.
It's about time.
- They're still six hours away.
- Why can't we move towards them?
- The engine's back.
- Not really.
The engine has been disconnected
from the propellers. It's just
Spinning. It won't take
long before it overheats.
Alright, how bad is that?
It will explode.
He wants to sink the ship
with everyone on board.
That's why he dropped
the lifeboats.
We can still use
the rescue boats.
I'll take the team and wait
for the Japs outside the ship.
Okay. Go ahead.
- What about the rest of us?
- We're not jumping ship.
- What about Wil?
- What about Wil?
Where is he?
He's got the gun.
And he's been drinking.
Fucking hell.
Just one bag per person.
And the algae case, of course.
Well done.
Where's Yuto?
He wanted to get some rest,
so he must be in his cabin.
I knocked on his door,
he didn't answer.
I'll go find him. You stay in
your cabin until I come for you.
Son of a bitch.
- What?
- Look at this!
Fuck.
We'll have to kill
the engine manually.
In there? Are you nuts?
It's out of control!
This ship won't sink as
long as I'm on board.
- Why?
- Why?
Yes! Why?
Fuck this ship.
We can still take the
rescue boat with them.
We can go home,
to our families and friends.
Don't you have a family?
People waiting for you
when you come back?
Erika.
If you wanna go, just go, Kim.
I can handle it.
Yuto!
Yuto, we gotta go!
For fuck's sake.
What the fuck?
- Hey!
- Hey.
What do I do?
These valves!
We need to close them!
Huh Wait. Here!
Over there!
Oh, God.
Okay. Good. Okay.
Good.
There's one One more missing.
Come, follow me.
- Yeah?
- Dad?
I'm on my way.
I need you to be honest with me
about what happened on Polaris.
What do you want to know?
Tell me about Maggie.
Maggie was the team
medic on Polaris VI.
She's responsible for
all the murders, not me.
Okay.
Why?
Because she blames me
for her mother's death.
That's why.
Her mom was a woman
called Sarah Jackson.
She was a research
assistant on Polaris V.
We became close.
Intimate.
Then one day,
we had a disagreement.
And I'm ashamed to say
it became physical.
We struggled, she fell,
she hit her head.
And she died.
I was devastated.
The whole team was.
On a personal level, of course.
But also on a
professional level.
Because everything
was in jeopardy.
The mission, the research,
everything.
So the fire on Polaris
V was a cover up.
It wasn't my idea,
but it was mutually agreed.
It was designed to protect us.
That's all.
Protect the work, everything.
I'm not proud of it.
I'm not proud of it at all.
I know I'm an asshole, Rachel,
but I'm not a murderer.
I believe you.
Arthur! Is Rachel there?
Yeah.
Let's go.
- Did you find him?
- I'll save those.
- No, I didn't.
- What?
Again! One, two, three!
Fuck!
Charlie?
Charlie, don't do it.
You don't have to do this.
You can trust me, Charlie.
No.
No!
Charlie!
Charlie! Charlie, please,
open up, Charlie!
Open up!
Please, open up, Charlie!
Charlie, come on,
open up, it's Kim!
Please, open up!
Amy! We're leaving.
Okay, let's get out of here.
We can't find Yuto.
Shit.
- It's Kim!
- Please, Charlie, open up!
Charlie!
Please, Charlie! Don't do this!
- Charlie, come on, it's Kim!
- Please!
It's the CO2 system.
- Charlie!
- Help!
- Let's get the fuck out of here.
- Right.
What?
Fuck.
Charlie, come on! Help!
Stop it! Stop it, Charlie!
- Please, stop it!
- Help!
Help!
Shit.
Help!
Yuto!
Yuto!
Fucking straps! Fucking
Are we really leaving him?
Don't even think about it!
Toss the gun!
Toss the gun overboard!
Toss the fucking gun, I swear to God
I'll paint the deck with her brains!
Okay. Okay.
Step away from the boat.
- There's room for all of us.
- Oh, now you remember I exist.
Listen to him.
Shut up! You fucking lot.
Treating the rest of us like
disposable fucking rats.
I should kill the
fucking all of you.
Wait.
- I should kill every single one of you.
- Wait, wait, Wil, Wil!
- Step back! Step back! Step back!
- Wil! Wil!
Listen to me.
I'm gonna show you
something, alright?
Look, Wil.
- Whoa!
- It's alright.
It's alright.
- Be careful.
- It's alright.
Arthur, what are you doing?
This is worth
hundreds of millions.
Hundreds of millions.
Take it and let her go.
- Slide it over here.
- Don't!
- Shut up! Shut up!
- Arthur!
Take it.
Pick it up.
Let her go now.
Wil. Let her go.
You wanna know what I think
of your fucking research? Huh?
A hundred millions? Hm?
Here.
No!
No!
You fucking idiot!
Fuck!
He was going to kill you,
sweetheart.
He was going to kill you.
- Here.
- Let's go.
Arthur!
Yeah?
The gun.
Don't need it anymore.
- Help!
- Don't do that.
Save your breath.
What for?
We're gonna die.
The alarm is off.
They know we're here.
They'll come for us.
You really think so?
Yeah. Of course.
Trust me.
Are you comfortable?
Yeah.
Thank you.
You're a nice man.
You would have been
a great captain.
What were you thinking,
giving it to him?
I'd have never let him take you.
Never.
Oh, fuck it.
Fuck!
What a fucking disaster.
That was our only sample!
Fuck!
We failed!
Miserably.
Kowalski,
Zack,
all the others
They've all died for what?
Huh?
For nothing.
What about Yuto?
Anything you want to
share with us, darling?
- Me?
- Yes, you.
You fucking two-faced
piece of shit!
What are you talking about? I
You killed him,
that's what I'm talking about.
- No, I did not.
- Shut the fuck up!
I found him!
In the lab.
Where you killed him.
You smashed his head.
But I found it.
In the fucking algae tank.
- So you were the snitch all along.
- No.
No, no. It was Yuto,
I swear. I
Look, he
He made He made
two cases, not one.
Oh, my God!
We've got it!
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
Why didn't you tell us?
Why didn't you tell us?
Why would she?
Huh? Why would she?
This is worth millions
upon millions.
And she knows that.
Don't you?
Or maybe you were just trying
to get back at me, is that it?
Thank you for this.
There's one thing you should
know about me, sweetheart.
I always win.
Oi.
Are you looking for this?
Now, do you care to explain
why you have Kowalski's
lost notebook with you?
No?
Well, let this speak
for itself. Please.
- I don't speak the language.
- Go ahead.
There's nothing there.
Then why would you
bring it with you?
What does it say?
This can't be true.
- The algae was not viable?
- That's wrong.
Shut up!
Kowalski found that there was
a by-product of the bacteria
and algae interaction
A toxin?
- What toxin?
- I'm telling you it's all wrong!
What? We created a poison?
Don't drink the water!
It's in the water,
you put it in the water?
You bastard!
Sit down.
Don't embarrass yourself.
You poisoned the fucking water?
No, no, not yours, Rachel.
Never yours.
But sorry, mate.
I thought he was a genius,
- not a failure.
- I'm not a failure!
I just needed more time!
That's why you killed Kowalski?
To cover up for your failure?
I killed Kowalski because
he was pigheaded,
because he was stubborn and
because he lost faith in me!
I remembered the word.
"Maskirovka".
The art of deception.
Good boy.
You've got there eventually.
You have to survive.
- No, look at me.
- You have to keep diving.
I'll see you in the Philippines.
For
Alec.
Alec. Alec.
Alec. No, Alec!
Good girl.
I'm, sorry, Rachel.
Listen to me.
I had every reason
to kill Kowalski.
It was either him or
everything I had created.
It was no contest, Rachel.
It's a toxin, Arthur.
One of the nastiest
I've ever seen.
If this is introduced into marine biomes,
it could be Biblical Clusterfuck.
I'm sorry. We can't proceed.
No, there has to be another way.
I gotta give it to you.
You were right.
You thought you could
create a microorganism
that would suck CO2 out of the
atmosphere by the gallons, and you did.
Only problem is it turns it into poison
and shits it right into the ocean.
I refuse to go down like this.
Arthur, it's the way this thing
breathes. You can't avoid
- I will find a way around it.
- Around what?
- Around nature?
- I can rewire nature!
Up to a point.
Face it, Arthur. It's over.
I'd like to check
the data myself.
I've come to discuss the
terms of my capitulation.
Who did you bribe for that?
I have my sources.
You know me too well.
To us.
Fuck it, right?
God, I hate losing.
Do you know what my
definition of hell is?
It's a place where
you always lose.
There's no physical
pain or torture.
Just eternity.
And no matter what you do,
you always fail.
Sounds like a real nightmare.
That shit is strong!
Arthur. Something's wrong.
What What did you
Please.
Everything should've
ended there.
But that's the thing
with Pandora's box.
Once you open it,
things go awry.
Things got out of hand.
My blood was all over his face.
I needed to get rid of him.
Had he not weighed 200 pounds,
I'd have thrown his body overboard.
But I had to improvise.
And I did.
Fucking hell.
It all had to be done.
That's the thing with success.
It requires sacrifice.
It requires pain.
What the hell is that?
A minor lab accident,
an acid spill.
It's nothing.
It requires gall.
What is it?
Using Maggie as a decoy was
an obvious choice.
I'd twist the narrative in my favor,
just like that bitch did on Polaris.
The head is a message to me.
It can only be Maggie.
Of course everything changed
when Alec found skin under
Kowalski's nails.
Well, all we need now
is a sample from Marcus.
Or better yet, a sample
from everyone on the ship.
She's right.
And you suggested we used the DNA
sequencing machine on board.
Alright. Thank you.
You two gave me no choice
but to keep going.
I put Midazolam in the coffee maker
to put you and Zack to sleep.
Your father is a fucking genius.
That could have gone better.
Rachel!
As for the DNA, changing the
test results was easy.
Destroying the sequencer would
make it more convincing.
Luckily, Zack didn't
weigh 200 pounds,
so I could dispose of him using the
more traditional method.
Stupid Charlie.
He was an easy pick.
What's that?
I doubt very much you'd
understand, Charlie.
I thought I was done.
We got it.
But then Gloria started
playing detective,
and it was either her or me.
Believe me,
it hurt me more than it
hurt any of you.
Poisoning the water bottles, well,
that was the final touch.
Dad?
What?
It's poetic, isn't it?
Ending it with the toxin
that began it all.
The mystery of the Alexandria,
which was found adrift in
the South Pacific Ocean,
is soon to be solved
after the sole survivor
has made it to the
We've been informed that the
survivor is not in danger,
and is waiting to
speak to the Police.
The identity of the survivor
hasn't been revealed.
Come on, move. She's lost
a lot of blood! Hurry!
Captain.
Can I blow the horn?
We have a perfectly
preserved sample, Rachel.
We can take it from here.
Just the two of us.
There are no dead ends, Rachel.
Just incapable minds.
So Kowalski
and Gloria
- and Zack, they were incapable minds?
- Limited.
Yes.
But I refuse to be.
Just like you.
You know? I never
wanted to be a father.
But then it hit me in
jail how much I'd lost.
How much I'd missed.
It's all there, in those
letters that I wrote you.
My soul.
For you.
Just for you to judge.
And no one else.
You once said to me: "What's one
life when it's set against millions?"
We hold the key, Rachel.
We hold the key.
So what's it going to be?
I'm your father.
Do you really think
you can lie to me?
No.
I don't.
Don't you fucking move an inch.
Put your hands up.
Where's Arthur?
He's dead.
She's right.
You've got all this way for nothing,
haven't you, sweetheart?
You're Maggie, aren't you?
You could still hurt me, though.
Go on.
Finish it.
