Dystopia (2021) s01e04 Episode Script

1
I just spoke to Claus.
More bookings have come in.
Indigo's gone missing
and you're thinking of bookings?
Indigo?
That guy's messed up.
-He's got a brain tumour.
-Help me, Jennifer!
-Shut up!
-You'll have to look for new rooms.
Maybe he had a bad trip.
I must tell them where I got them.
You clearly need to up your game.
-Has Leo noticed anything?
-We were on-game and in character.
Do you love him?
Or would you rather be with me?
You'll come to me
if something's up, okay? Promise?
Have you drunk away
all your brain cells?
It's a bit hard
with Frida being here.
If you want to talk,
just say the word.
Leave her alone. I mean it.
I told you
not to touch the electricity.
You fired up?
-Yeah.
-Cool.
-Have you seen Domenica?
-No, I don't know where she is.
But I thought you could team up
with Jennifer today.
I need to back up Zacke.
-Right?
-Right.
Okay, listen. Today's scenario
involves meeting infected people.
You must be prepared
to eliminate them
and question
the possibly healthy ones.
We need data
on how the virus spreads
and you need to cross-examine
anyone who might know.
NO ENTRY
Are we really going in there?
Jennifer
Jennifer?
Tess?
Tess? Tess!
Tess!
You scared me!
Why haven't you changed?
Did you find the water fault?
Someone had cut the pipe.
I had to turn off the main valve.
I'll talk to Harry.
You know, I really don't buy it.
Indigo's accident, I mean.
-Don't you?
-No.
We shouldn't be in there
until we know what happened.
It doesn't feel safe.
Everyone is full of opinions.
I came here to work, but there's
a limit to what I can accept.
Come on,
you knew what this place was!
You thought it would just run itself?
If it's too much,
join the Robin Hood LARP.
Come on. You know I can cut it.
Look at this.
Shit, I bet he's off his medication.
-What's he looking at there?
-Where?
There!
I don't know.
Chrissy to Leo, we're aborting.
We're off-game. Something's up.
Aborting, why?
Jennifer put out a call.
Didn't you hear it?
No, what do you mean?
Anyway, I'm on my way down.
Okay.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
What happened?
We were running the scenario
when she got a shock and had a fit.
-Has she had fits before?
-No.
-How far had you got?
-To the new lab.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
-An alarm went off.
-No, there was no alarm.
But there was smoke
-Okay, maybe she needs time out?
-No.
She's fine. Give her a minute.
This won't do.
We need to test the sets
before people arrive.
You're not listening. An alarm went
off. It was really loud. And then
Okay, listen.
Take a break and think about
what it is you really want.
I don't have time for this.
-She's flipped out before.
-I'm not surprised.
-Did the scenario work?
-It seemed awesome.
Where are you going?
This is like the Krank hospital
last year.
-Were you there?
-No.
Pity. It was epic.
Cute rats.
We can hide the elixir here.
And place Paolo down here
like some deranged alchemist.
Or an informer, you know.
It could work.
It looks authentic, at least.
Indigo's awesome.
It doesn't feel that safe to be here.
Of course it is. You know me.
-Okay, then I can drink this?
-Cut it out!
Indigo has set this up.
You think I'm stupid?
Listen, we need this scenario.
-We must be careful with this stuff.
-What is it you don't get?
It's total chaos here.
We have no set designer.
The Germans are due
and nothing's ready.
You think we should cancel?
Of course you've got my support.
We're going to hide the chemicals.
-Why are you mad at me?
-You brought me here.
This attitude. It's not like you.
I know that Chrissy can be stern
but she means well.
She's just a poor communicator.
She's focused, that's all.
I was almost fried back there and
she just carries on. It's not normal.
But she's right. I want out.
-What? You're here for our sake.
-No, for your sake.
I'm doing my best.
Can you say the same?
Is this how it's going to be?
Okay.
the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change
Just taking a break.
But I'm ready now. Let's go.
How long have you
been at it this time?
-It's not what
-How long, Zacke?
I don't know.
What are you doing?
What's that letter all about?
It's part of the programme.
To apologise to everyone I've hurt.
My sponsor says it's easier
to be honest in a letter.
Hey
Let me help you.
You're going to break his heart,
you know that, don't you?
I can't take all the lies any more.
-I'll never quit if I'm not honest.
-You're already let him down.
Do you think completely crushing him
will make you feel better?
I wasn't the only one
who felt something, was I?
Fuck!
This is for euthanising animals.
It's a great party drug, too.
-What, like E?
-No, like super-potent ketamine.
It's like you see yourself
from the outside.
As if your soul has left your body.
Has this been some secret drug lab?
I'll work it into the plot.
How do you know all that?
I've told you, I studied chemistry!
Do you ever listen to what I say?
Just some teenage brats.
They won't be bothering us any more.
You're so pretty.
Without makeup.
You should do that more often.
Listen
I'm going home.
Yeah? Why? Have you
-Have you told him?
-No. But I can't stay if
I'm to split up with him.
It's impossible.
What about us?
You don't want me.
Yes, I do.
Why?
I'm not a decent person, I'm
unfaithful. I just hurt people.
I know.
But I want to be with you.
I
I think you're
the nicest person I've ever met.
No. I'm not.
Did she really mean us
to blow all these up ourselves?
-It's good training for the lungs.
-Fucking typical Chrissy.
It feels like I'm back
on the mental ward.
Was that after Paolo?
No, I did supply work
at the psychiatric unit
before I started full-time in ER.
Right. Right.
Listen, I was wondering
-Is he flirting with Tess?
-I don't think so.
But you never know with him. Why?
She's got really irritable recently.
Questions everything I say.
Okay?
What?
I didn't think
you were the kind of guy
who got fazed
by women with opinions.
It's not really about that.
Good.
-Hi.
-Hi.
I'll go down and ask Chrissy
what we're meant to do with all this.
Yes.
Zacke's wasted.
-You knew that?
-I did.
I thought I could help him out here
but it was stupid of me.
What's up?
-I'm leaving.
-What? No, you're not.
This isn't my thing. It's yours.
You are my thing.
I need to be on my own.
-You hate being alone!
-We're not good together.
-You're not in a good place.
-I am!
Tess! Can't you wait a minute?
Tess!
You can't leave me here! Tess!
Hi.
What have you taken?
You're so pretty.
-I'm leaving now.
-Okay.
I think it'd be best for everyone.
I want to go home, too.
Tess? Tess?
We'll remove the boxes later
and sort things out down here.
Sure.
It'll give the others
such a fucking cool surprise!
-Meeting tonight, then.
-Yep!
Okay, everyone! Group meeting
in half an hour in the west culvert.
It's important everyone attends.
I repeat, group meeting in 30.
This way
Hi, Zacke. All good?
Okay. Let's start.
-Where's Tess?
-She went home.
Well, anyway.
I'd like to start
by saying you're all awesome.
And welcome to the new scenario.
-Thanks.
-It looks exciting.
It's fantastic. Indigo did it.
And he wanted it to be a surprise.
But as you know
he's got terminal cancer.
Despite that, he kept fighting
the whole way.
I remember when I first
got to know him, he was
incredibly shy.
He hardly said a word.
But thanks to our community
and to being with us
he blossomed and become
more and more assertive.
I think we should honour Indigo
with a minute's silence.
Am I the only one who thinks
this is weird, when he's still alive?
-We're here to open the scenario.
-It feels a bit tasteless, actually.
I didn't know he had cancer.
I was wondering if anyone
wanted to say a few words
That's dead right.
You should make the most of life.
It can be over in
a second.
We'll if we're not going
to open the scenario
Though I'd like to say
a few more words.
Shit, you got this looking
really good.
Leo, can I have a word?
Can you blow out the candles?
-It's just like home, right?
-Thank you!
What's the problem?
You were meant to talk to him.
-He stinks of booze.
-Yes, well I failed, didn't I?
You did. This is your fault.
-If he fucks up once more, he's out!
-Yeah, yeah, I'll sort it out!
Well
That didn't go well
did it?
We'll get them next time.
-There won't be a next time.
-You bet there will be!
Go home.
-Is there a point to this story?
-There it was! Behind the trailer!
I was like, "What's going on?
It's just a horse. A pony."
A tiny little pony!
Like a fucking midget pony!
I was like, "What's going on?"
Know what I mean?
-But what happened to the horse?
-It wasn't a horse, it was a pony!
I can tell something's up.
You can tell me, can't you?
I just want to be left alone.
You know you can tell me anything.
We're a team, you and me.
I won't get through this without you.
