So who have we here?
Hi, there.
Air readings okay.
04.44.
Hey, baby.
Hi.
How are you both doing?
Fine. It's awake now.
No!
Yes! Wow!
What a lively little rascal!
As strong as its mum.
-And keen to get out.
-Yes.
You're gorgeous.
I'm raising the voltage to 20.
What's the maximum pressure
in this, baby?
What? There shouldn't be
any pressure.
It seems to be going up.
Can oxygen have got into the tank?
Cecilia, no! What are you doing?
Hurry!
William!
For fuck's sake!
I love you, Cecilia.
Cissi!
Entering section C.
Where are you?
On our way into section D.
Copy that.
Keep your position. Don't let anyone
into section D. It's contaminated.
Understood?
Copy that.
Tess to Chrissy, over.
-Tess here.
-The object is heading your way.
Shoot to kill.
I repeat, shoot to kill.
Tess to Chrissy.
I think I can see someone.
Tess to Leo. Tess to Leo.
Leo?
Tess to Leo.
Leo to Chrissy, over.
What's going on?
-The generator must've
-Leo, I can't hear you.
Hi. Off-game!
Off-game, for God's sake!
Take it easy.
Are you okay?
You're bleeding.
What's going on?
Have you checked to generator?
-Are you going to check it out?
-Yes, I'm on my way there now.
-Fuck!
-Okay, she's onto it. We'll carry on.
Fuck!
Hi. We're off-game.
-Nice wound.
-Thanks.
-What's going on?
-We're off-game.
-Why?
-A power outage. Again.
I know, but Chrissy
hasn't aborted, has she?
-Hey, what happened?
-I tripped, that's all.
-So where's Chrissy?
-With the generator.
-What's the problem this time?
-Same as usual.
Overload.
-But it's okay, I've got it.
-We'll carry on. Regrouping?
Of course.
We're opening in 10 days.
But we can't see anything down there.
-You've got torches, right?
-But all the tech is out.
Can't we call it a day? We haven't
had a break since this morning.
-I agree.
-Okay. Fine.
-I'm off.
-I'm sweating like a pig.
-Indigo?
-Yeah?
Is it you or Domenica
who keeps dropping the soap?
-What?
-Are you hiding the soap in there?
I feel sorry for her. She's so jumpy.
Who, Tess?
I think she's dead cute.
You think she'll find it cute
dealing with 10,000 fired-up Germans?
It'll be fucking chaos.
-He shouldn't force her to be here.
-Force?
-She's ruining it for us.
-What do you mean "force"?
Give her a chance.
But Forget it.
-God, I'm so stiff.
-You are.
Have you got the soap?
-Want to join us?
-There's room.
Cut it out! No chance.
-My boobs are stiff.
-Mine too. It's crazy.
-Got a new haircut?
-Yeah.
-Thanks for noticing.
-I notice everything.
-We have to buy a new generator.
-We can't afford it.
This one should do. Shit!
I mean, look at this place!
It'll be so fucking cool.
-Cooler than München Biohazard.
-You think so?
"Think so?" Who the hell else
has a site like this?
It's epic.
We're doing the biggest Nordic LARP.
A shit generator won't stop us.
It just needs a little tweaking.
Hey. We need to discuss things
before dinner.
Maybe we should wait
until she's left.
-Hey, Tess.
-Hi.
-You'd better get some ice on that.
-I know. I will.
-Okay, see you at dinner.
-It'll be great. I made it.
No!
-This doesn't feel right.
-You must talk to her.
Why? It just puts her
in an awkward position.
-I can talk to her.
-Indigo's right. It's unnecessary.
Unnecessary? We must talk to her.
Leo's on Chrissy's side. If we drag
Tess into this, it'll cause problems.
-It's not fair on Leo.
-No one thinks this is okay.
This whole gig is fucked.
We have to make a decision.
And Zacke, if you can't take being
there when we tell her, it's okay.
-Are we agreed about what to do?
-Yes.
Good.
Is it time to eat?
Soon.
-Did the costume fit okay?
-Mm.
You need to give the costume
some love. It has to last all summer.
Yeah.
It's actually important.
I've spent a lot of time on them.
I know. Sorry.
You said you'd take it seriously.
Leo!
-Yeah?
-Can you come down?
I want you to check
some promo shots for Instagram.
-I'll be right there.
-Great. They need posting.
Get some rest
and I'll help you later.
Beer?
-Thanks.
-I'm on wine.
They're coming.
-Hi.
-Hey.
Has something happened?
We think you're great, Chrissy,
for planning this LARP event.
-Okay
-But it's not working.
What's not working?
The electricity. The generator.
Everyone uses these generators.
-They had one in Antwerp.
-That was a forest LARP.
We have to provide lighting
for an entire factory.
Anything else
you want to tell the group?
-I'm just stating facts.
-No one asked you.
Seriously, we've had a power cut
during every single rehearsal.
It won't work
when the Germans arrive.
-That's not your problem.
-It is.
This is our work place, too.
We can't prep anything
when it's pitch black down there.
We could do with more people.
You know that.
The best thing would be to quit.
While there's still time.
And then we can focus on
a new LARP event at a later date.
We're going home tomorrow.
If you sort the power out, you can
get in touch and we'll be right back.
Hey!
Are you all in on this?
What the hell are you doing?
-She's been building this for years.
-We know.
We can't go on like this, can we?
-Thanks for telling me.
-But I knew nothing about this.
-Wait!
-Tess, leave it.
-Why didn't you tell me?
-We didn't want to drag you into it.
Okay.
This is really important to Leo.
He'll survive.
-They'll get over it.
-Fuck.
-Cheers.
-That went well.
Fuck!
NUMBER OF BOOKINGS: 86
Did they tell her?
Yes.
And?
They're going home.
-Have you talked to Chrissy?
-No.
-If it had been up to me
-I know. I know.
I can't go home now.
-I won't cope.
-You're not going anywhere.
You're staying here.
-two, three!
-What the fuck?
There's no me in team! Come on!
It's freezing!
-Come on, Tess!
-No!
-Come on!
-Not swimming?
-God, no. It's fucking cold!
-Come on, it's the last dip.
No? Okay
-Look at those guys.
-Yeah.
-What?
-They're going to throw you in.
Fully clothed.
There's nothing I can do.
Stop it.
You know what they're like.
All of them. Fucking psychos.
Particularly when it's the last swim.
You might as well jump in.
-Okay.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
DYSTOPIA
We have no idea.
-If we haven't tested it.
-That's true.
-Hello.
-Hey. What are you doing?
-Hello!
-Coming swimming?
No.
Shit, Zacke. Can I have a millisecond
alone with Leo?
Sure.
Look.
I get it. But we can forget
about coming back in that case.
You know what Harry said.
Alright. Has anyone
got any other jobs booked soon?
-No.
-This was it for the summer.
-But have you got another?
-Normal job?
Yes, I have. I've got the summer off
from the hospital.
But we'll meet up in Brighton
this autumn, right?
Maybe.
-Are you going?
-Aren't you? Didn't you get the mail?
-No.
-Okay.
We had no other option.
But I feel sorry for Chrissy.
Yeah, but we all suffer. Actually.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-How are you doing?
-It's cool.
Have you spoken to Chrissy?
Yes, briefly.
Okay. Was she angry?
No, she wasn't, actually.
It should be here.
-No, that can't be right.
-No.
Hang on
Hang on, hang on
No, it's here. Come on.
This way.
-Here.
-Thanks.
Where did the others get to?
They went back up.
Had some stuff to do.
I wanted to stay and wait for you.
Can I ask you something?
Okay
What are you doing here?
I'm here for the LARP.
But I mean, really?
I'm here to support Leo.
It's his thing.
But not yours.
-No, but
-What? Is he forcing you to be here?
No, but
If you're with someone,
you support them.
Just like that?
A "dutiful girlfriend" kind of thing?
I'd like one like that. A pushover.
Okay
I was unfaithful.
Okay.
But everything's fine now.
We've talked it over.
-So it's all good.
-Okay.
Who was it?
Some random guy.
Okay. So you're here
to patch things up, is that it?
Exactly.
I'm telling you this
in confidence, so
don't tell anyone.
I'll just find the radio
and soon everyone will know.
No. No.
-I'm freezing. I'll go up. It's okay.
-Tess
Tess. It didn't mean anything.
Come on
NO UNAUTHORISED ENTRY
Get that.
Give me some light.
-Let's do it.
-Shouldn't we check with Harry first?
Cool, huh?
I told you not to touch
the electricity.
No, you said it didn't work.
From now on, don't touch things
that are none of your business.
What could we do? We had no choice.
I'm in charge of the building.
-Are you listening?
-Yes.
Have you got the stuff?
This is the first
and last time I'll do this.
But the extra cash is nice, right?
What do you need it for?
For the Germans.
They like to take it.
It enhances the experience.
-You're careful with these, right?
-Yes.
Yes, we are.
Good.
Cheers! Here's to Dystopia!
Cheers!
-Look, I'm sorry I'm so useless.
-Stop it!
-But I'll carry on.
-You're awesome. A fighter.
-Yeah, right.
-You'll get used to it.
Give it two weeks
and you'll also end up in the box.
Okay, that's my cue.
I'm not going to
-Who's been in the box?
-We'll talk about that later.
-Everyone's been in the box.
-Watch out for the box, Tess.
-Never say never.
-I'm out.
Indigo?
Indigo?
Hello?
Hello?
Hi.
Hi.
I thought you might want some bubbly.
To, celebrate the power
coming back on. Want some?
No.
But you're joining us later?
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
-Did I wake you?
-No.
Listen I saw Indigo
inside the factory.
-Is there something wrong with him?
-No. Why? Like what?
He didn't seem himself.
I'm sure it's okay.
Go to sleep now, babe.
