Primeval s04e06 Episode Script

Season 4, Episode 6

Well, I've got six here.
You know, Claudia, I just feel it's going to have to be much fuller.
Perhaps some lilies? The band are not booked until tomorrow, darling.
I'm sorry, but you're just going to get in the way here today.
That's exactly what my fiancée said.
- I'm sorry? - I'm the groom.
Of course! That's not what I ordered.
You want something done here, Michael, you have to do it yourself.
Just cannot get the staff.
Unbelievable.
Charlie? Charlie? Bloody painters.
No Vile Ah! How gorgeous! Hello! Aw! Hiya.
It's me.
I'm here.
I was I was dreaming of home.
How are you feeling? I'm dying.
Apart from that, I'm fine.
- Matthew, this woman, Emily - It's okay.
You'll use her to catch Ethan? If it comes to that, yeah.
Are you sure? You haven't allowed yourself to get too close? Don't worry.
I'm not involved with her.
I'm not involved with anyone.
I'm sorry, it's It's for your own good.
For all our good.
So, to sum up, we're looking for a psychopath from Victorian England, who can drive a car and seems perfectly at home in the 21 st century.
Emily, you said he was from 1902.
If so, perhaps he's got a police record.
I could do some digging around.
Okay, Becker, you track down this Ethan character.
I'm not going back without Ethan.
Ethan's not going anywhere.
When we find him, he's going straight to prison.
I suggest you rejoin your friends while you've still got the chance.
It's her decision.
She should stay if she wants.
He's right, of course, but if you do, I shall have to inform Philip and the Minister.
What will that mean for me? It remains to be seen, but I shan't be able to protect you any longer.
She should stay.
She's our only real link to Ethan.
You'd better not let her out of your sight, then.
We have an anomaly alert.
Hitting 190, 20 miles, sending coordinates now.
I'm going to leave you here with the guard.
You're going to be safe.
Jess, we're in the hallway with no signal.
What have you got? I'm just loading the floor plans now.
Is this a drill? Still nothing, Jess.
You got visual? The anomaly's in the basement.
There's an entrance in the northwest corridor.
Whoa.
Did you hear that? Sorry, I thought I heard something.
No sign of a creature incursion.
Maybe we got herejust in time, eh? Or maybe not.
It's stalking us.
So what's going to happen with Emily now, huh? She just going to stay at your place? No.
Easy on the small talk, Matt.
We'll never get anything done.
It must be really strange for a woman from her time, though, coming to the 21 st century.
Shut up, Connor, I'm trying to hear Male hyaenodon.
Jess, there was an Ethan Dobrowski.
He was a notorious anarchist, thought to be from Russia originally, though nobody seems very sure.
He murdered at least a half a dozen people before disappearing without a trace in 1902.
His MO was to take over property near his victim, watch them for days, then move in and assassinate his target.
That's how he knew Emily was alone.
He must have been watching Matt's flat.
Run a security check on all of Matt's neighbours.
Ethan might still be nearby.
Hello? Who's there? Identify yourself.
- Jenny! - Connor? - Jenny! - Oh, no, no, this can't be happening.
- What are you doing here? - What am I doing here? What are you doing here? This is a joke, right? But how did you know I was getting married? Married? You're here and Oh, my God, there's an anomaly.
I'm Matt Anderson.
What am I going to tell him? - Who? - Michael, my fiancé.
- Oh.
- I'm not a demanding bride.
Really, I'm not.
Rain I can handle.
Wrong flowers, fine.
Dinosaurs? I draw the line.
Actually, they're more like prehistoric dogs this time.
Kind of cute in a not-raptor way.
I'm just going to shut up.
Jenny, the anomaly's locked and we've dealt with the incursion.
It's going to be okay.
We really should clear the place for a day or two, till we know everything's safe.
Or we could search the rest of the property now and keep an eye on things while you get married.
Great.
And what the hell, you're all invited to the wedding.
- Oh! - Yay! Excuse me, uh, where's the exit? Anything? Clear.
She looks different.
She's happy.
Do you think she's told him? Would you? Michael, this is Abby and Connor.
- Hi.
- Hello.
I've been telling Michael about that mad PR firm we all used to work for.
Mad's not really the word for it, is it? - Paint balling? - Team bonding.
- Building.
- Yeah.
It's the kind of crazy stuff we get up to at the PRfirm.
- Drink? - Great idea.
- Great, let's go.
- After you.
Jess, we've got this covered.
I'm sending security back to you.
Enjoy the wedding.
Right, we need to find her.
So, Jenny's always been pretty mysterious about her past.
That's because my life didn't begin until I met you.
No, really, I'm interested.
Oh, it was It was boring, really.
Yeah, just work.
Nine till five.
You know the routine.
- Not really.
I'm a musician.
- Wow! That's That's cool.
You any good at Rock Band? I've got a top score of Emily! I can help.
If I'm going to be stuck here, - I can't just sit around.
- Emily Did a creature come through the gateway? - Ooh! - Is this one of the teambuilding things? - Yeah.
- Mmm-hmm.
What's teambuilding? Emily Forgive my confusion.
I'm not myself today.
Um, how did you two meet? I'll bet there's a funny story in there somewhere.
We were introduced by friends.
What was I meant to do? Sometimes it's easy to forget that none of this is normal.
You left me sitting there.
If I'm stuck in this time, I have to be useful.
I'm sorry.
Matt, let me help you.
We should go.
Jess, what have we got? The only apartments that are look onto Matt's place are on the eighth floor.
We're on our way up.
Clear.
On three.
One, two Clear.
Clear! Jess, I think we found the location.
No sign of Ethan.
He's been here.
And recently.
I can set up a surveillance operation outside.
With any luck, he won't know we're on to him.
Okay, well, be careful and stay warm.
Stay warm? What? It's been difficult.
Mmm.
You should just tell him.
Do you think so? Do you know, when I met him, I just wanted to have a fresh start.
After everything that had happened, I just wanted to forget about the anomalies and Cutter When I met Michael, I could just move on.
Not that I wanted to forget you guys.
I'll never forget any of you.
We should get married here.
- Should we? - Well Uh, theoretically, if we were to to ever you know, ever go down the road of you know, go down the road of complete I'm going to go and get some more champagne.
I just said something bad, didn't I? Connor, a word of advice.
It's customary to propose to the girl before you start planning the wedding.
Oh yeah.
Jess, I'm in position.
Can you patch me through the feeds of the CCTV cameras in the building? Okay.
Well, it's about that time.
I shall see you tomorrow.
Don't be late.
- Nightcap in my room? - Oh, yes, please.
- Girls only.
- Sexist.
Would you like to come, Emily? She stays with me.
"She stays with me"? What is this, the 1800s? I just think it's time we all turned in.
Gosh, he's Mr Fun, isn't he? Must be a laugh a minute on the team these days.
I'd love to come with you.
Have fun! We will.
Right.
Abby, you're about my future sister-in-law's size, why don't you try this one.
And, um, Emily, just go for it.
Thought you might be hungry.
I hope you like Chinese.
Jessica, this is a stakeout.
You still have to eat.
I was just on my way home, I thought I'd drop by.
Jess, I know where you live.
It's miles away.
Well, I like the scenic route.
Got any prawn crackers? You don't seem surprised.
What, that Lester's still grumpy? No, not really.
That I'm from the 1800s.
Emily, when you've seen what I've seen, trust me, nothing surprises you.
Oh, hello.
Hi.
Could I steal Emily, please? Abs, I'm just getting some ice.
Back in a minute.
Okay.
Sorry to drag you out so late, but I need to talk.
Look, I know it sounds insane about somebody I've only met once.
And what do you think Ethan's going to do? Whatever it is, you can trust me.
Okay.
I didn't just fall into thisjob.
I've been preparing for it my whole life.
I knew about the anomalies and I made sure I was the perfect candidate.
- So, you lied to everyone? - I had no choice.
Something's going to happen with the anomalies.
What's going to happen? Tell me.
Please.
I can't say any more.
I've told you too much already.
I'm sorry.
Who are you? Just know that I would never ever do anything to put you in any danger.
Matt Come on.
Damn it, he's in the house.
What? What happened? I'm going in.
Call for backup.
Wait in the car.
Backup needed.
Can you get a unit down here now? Abby! Abby! What? Great.
That's all I need.
Where are you? That's not cool.
No reception.
Of course there isn't.
Stay there.
No.
No.
Come on, not you guys now as well.
Ow! What's this? Go on.
See? Go crazy, guys, this round's on me.
Jess, Jess! Don't shoot, don't shoot, it's me.
Don't move.
This place is rigged with traps.
Walk slowly.
That way.
Yeah.
- Where's Ethan? - Not here.
But he's left us a little gift.
There's a pressure pad under my left foot.
It's attached to that metronome and I think that's a bomb.
This counterweight hits the floor, well, I think that ignites the bomb as well.
I need you to come over here and tell me if I'm right.
Come on.
Okay.
Okay.
And there's a trip wire there, be careful.
Now, just really, really gently pull that off.
Oh, God! That could destroy the entire building.
You need to get out of here.
Now! - No, I won't - Go, now! I'm not leaving you.
I'm not leaving you.
He knew we were watching him.
You need to leave now! Becker, you tell me what to do.
You can tell me.
All right, come on.
Go round the back of the bomb and tell me what you can see.
- Um, yeah, there's a black box.
- What's inside it? Take the back off it.
- Tell me what you see.
- Okay, hang on.
Um, loads and loads of wires.
There should be a small cylinder in there.
The detonator, with two wires, a red and a green wire coming out of the bottom of it.
Don't touch anything.
Can you see that? You're okay, you're okay.
Breathe.
- Okay.
- You're doing brilliantly.
Now, you can see the cylinder, can you? Yes, I can see.
I can see a cylinder.
Good.
Now, I want you to come over here.
- Okay.
- There's a pair of pliers on that table.
- Quickly now.
- Okay.
Use those and very carefully take out the red wire.
Do not touch the green wire.
Okay.
Red wire, okay.
I can do this, come on.
Hurry, Jess.
- Um - It's getting heavy.
There's There's no There's no green wire.
It's just It's two red wires.
Which do I pick? You get out now.
I mean it, Jess.
Just hold up, okay? Just Just hang on.
Just give me a second.
I can do this, okay? Okay.
Come on! Oh! It worked! I did it! I did it! I did it! You are truly brilliant.
I know.
I am.
I want you to search the area now.
Now! Come on! I want to know who the hell this guy is.
Ethan, help your brother.
Help your brother.
Ethan, you have to help your brother, Ethan.
Can I help you? What's the name of the family who live here? Why? I know you.
I never forget a face.
No, now, don't tell me.
I'll get it in a minute.
It's It's you, isn't it? You are him.
You're that boy.
My name is Ethan Dobrowski.
I've never been here in my life.
You're mistaken.
That boy is dead.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Shall we? Are you married? - I should've told you.
- Forget about it.
I guess we both have our secrets.
We should go.
Oh, for! Hey! Stay there! Me again.
Connor, we need to talk.
Call me.
Okay, now I'm getting worried.
It's not like him to ignore me for this long.
Oh, don't worry.
I swear, he's probably just nursing a really massive hangover.
Hey! Hey! Do you want your mum? Sorry, mate.
Ooh! Hey.
Where's Connor? I thought he was with you.
Something's wrong.
He'd never miss the ceremony.
Heavier than you look.
See you later.
Right, there's always one.
Don't We are here today to support Michael and Jenny as they face their future together, accepting whatever may lie ahead.
Do you, Michael Miller, take Jennifer Lewis to be your lawfully wedded wife? I do.
And do you, Jennifer Lewis, take Michael Miller to be your lawfully wedded husband? Everybody! Run! Everybody's in danger, you've got to believe me.
Run! Please! Now! Aw! Go on outside! Run! Wait there! Shut the door your side.
Quickly! Hi-five.
Upstairs! No! Down! Help me! Help me! Help me! Go away! Get away from my husband.
- Actually, we're not married yet.
- Mere technicality.
Well, it wouldn't be a real wedding without a proper fight, would it? How was your wedding? Okay, all the creatures are back through and the anomaly's been locked.
Good work.
You okay? Fine.
Okay.
I used to work for a secret government agency.
We track anomalies, which are like gateways in time to the past, the future.
And sometimes creatures could pass through them into our world.
It's dangerous.
Fatal, in fact.
There was a man that I was in love with who was killed.
Oh, yes, and there's also a distinct possibility that I could have been somebody else in a completely different timeline called Claudia Brown.
But then the present changed and I became Jennifer Lewis, but that's even too bizarre for me to comprehend.
So anyway, that's it, the whole truth.
What do you think? So this other guy You're over him, right? Yes.
I'm over him.
Well, that's okay, then.
We do have one problem, though.
The registrar's in no condition to marry anyone.
I think I might be able to do something about that.
By the power vested in me, by special dispensation from the Minister, I now have the pleasure of pronouncing you man and wife.
You may now kiss the bride or whatever it is that's customary on these occasions.
Forgive me, I'm a little bit vague on the detail.
Thank you, James.
So lovely.
I didn't love my husband.
I barely knew him.
My family had money, he had a title.
My father arranged the whole thing.
It was a very good match.
For everyone except you.
I have to be somewhere.
Like to come? Did you catch Ethan? Have you found out how he's going to do it? Not yet, but I will.
Emily - She's here? - Yeah, but don't worry.
I'm going to use her to catch Ethan and then I'm going to walk away.
She means nothing to me.
You and I aren't important.
All that matters is what we came here to do.
It's all up to you now.
I wish I wish He's gone.
I'm sorry.
Who was he? My father.
