Episode 6
1 (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, âwhere 12 people are now confirmed 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.
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? 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 you do know 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're 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 Deel's 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 Yeah, I know.
I just need to give him some information and then it'll be OK Information?! Anya, please.
I swear! It'll be OK! No, whoa! Anya'spregnant.
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? Michaelhe 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) 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.
Lookthey 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 .
.
they are right.
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? What about Wilson? 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 IanIan 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 VOICES CONTINUE '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 tonalite gneiss.
'I usually did that.
'From a rock plateau in Canada.
'He used to say, ' "This rock gives you permission to do anything.
" 'Is this the 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.
'There's a story about how he got his name.
'He was playing everyone against each other.
'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.
Who'd Grant 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 SHO GUN SHO 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.

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.

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.

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.
Lookthey 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 .
.
they are right.
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? What about Wilson? 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 IanIan 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 VOICES CONTINUE '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 tonalite gneiss.
'I usually did that.
'From a rock plateau in Canada.
'He used to say, ' "This rock gives you permission to do anything.
" 'Is this the 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.
'There's a story about how he got his name.
'He was playing everyone against each other.
'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.
Who'd Grant 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 SHO GUN SHO 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.
