Friends Let Us Down

1 Sad news about Calumny.
He won't be coming back.
- Something's wrong.
- Don't spoil this.
It's all I've got.
I brought Denier along.
You two should get to know each other.
Apparently, the Isle of Sheppey isn't quite as nice as this.
- We've got a bond.
- This coding isn't hackable, - we need to source algorithms.
- You said you'd help me.
Don't go there any more.
Denier, is something happening to you? Something that's not right? - It's OK to stop it.
- Everything's gonna be OK.
What you wearing under there? Tell him I'm coming for him.
Come back.
Hello? I don't hear from you, Mania.
She left.
Oh, hello, Shadowfax.
Where did she go? Are you gonna kill her, too? Oh, I never kill anyone.
That would be so unsubtle.
Why are you doing this? Let that emerge.
Who's gonna find her first? Me.
She left her phone? Yeah.
- It's been four days.
Is she coming back? - I I don't know.
I don't think so.
What happened? We fell out.
Been a while.
- I've been kept busy.
- It's OK.
Am I good to you, Force? You understand me.
You don't judge.
We need to draw on your special qualities.
I've been careful with myself.
- Like you said.
- Of course.
You've shown wonderful restraint, but now is the time.
In London.
- London? - A ticket will arrive.
- Go there.
- I can see Jocasta? - You promised I could see her! - Jocasta is shy.
The moment has to be right for her.
You know that.
- I want her to see me.
- Help me first.
And then I'll talk to her.
Happiness will come.
Shadowfax will destroy all this beauty.
She's turned Mania's head.
Put us in danger.
What do I do? All of us have a purpose, Force.
And yours is so pure.
Come.
- Yes? - I'm a friend of Tess's.
Is she here? Something's happened to her.
Tell me something new.
Sorry, I can't help.
Whatever story she's spun you .
.
you know most of it won't be true, right? No.
- It's real.
I was part of it and - Does she owe you money? She probably ran out because of the money.
I'd like you to meet someone.
Dad.
This is a friend of Tess's.
She came by to ask where she might be.
He can hear you.
Hello.
They adopted us.
White mum, black dad.
Probably wouldn't allow that now, would they, Dad? I'm the good one.
My second term at uni, Dad had a stroke in the garden.
Mum was out.
Tess was upstairs off her head on MDMA.
I guess she forgot to call an ambulance.
Here we are.
This is what I do now.
You probably wouldn't even get what that means.
I think I think I can understand.
No.
You can't.
Just if there's anywhere .
.
anywhere Tess might be.
You seem like a nice person.
Go home.
Get on with your life, if you don't want it fucked beyond belief.
I can't.
I have to find her.
If you do, tell her not to come back here.
I'm back! It's so busy in town.
This is Leila, Mum.
- College friend.
- Oh.
Hello.
Just popped by.
I have to go.
Thank you.
Look, you.
It's not right talking like this.
Leila's upset right now.
There's been a falling out, yes? - Yeah.
How do you know about? - You're concerned, too.
I appreciate that, Jonty.
I'm only the flatmate.
You're much more than that, if you want to be? Things aren't right, Jonty, and they need to be corrected.
- She's difficult to keep track of.
- You want me to follow her? I can't be there for her like a father should.
But you can, Jonty.
Together we can keep her well.
I can't talk now.
Leils? What? You can't find her, can you? Pervert.
Fuck! Yeah?! Fuck you! Only me I'm undressed, actually.
Yeah, it's just weird sounds coming out.
- That's all.
- I'm fine.
But look, if there is something wrong, Leils, and you're not telling me, you can, you know.
It's just I'm I know I'm just the lodger, but I'm the friendly lodger.
You don't want to be inside my stuff.
- I might.
- No.
People around me get hurt.
What if I didn't mind? If it helped? I - I have to lie down now.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Right you are.
Erm yeah.
Where are you? When that world has walked on me There was the softness of her She tells me, that's what your woman is for If there's not enough money Well she smiles, that's all right And tells me, that's what your woman is for Oh, thank goodness, my car had just fizzled out and Oh.
Kyle? Hey, Mrs Klasna.
I er, I didn't recognise you with the, the hair.
Well, it's been a while.
Let me take a look? Er, it was getting a bit jumpy and then it just cut out.
It's lonely all the way up here.
So what are you doing with yourself? I got work up at the truck stop at Connolly Creek.
Been taking some classes, too.
Well, that is good to hear.
Making changes.
You slipped a lead, that's all.
- That's terrific.
Thank you.
- Sure.
I'm really glad you're turning things around for yourself, Kyle.
I think everyone should have a second chance.
She tells me that's what your woman is for.
Bang! Everybody should get a second chance.
I'm coming, Jocasta.
Where is everyone? There's your watcher.
It's coming through a proxy server.
Totally untraceable.
- There, look! I can delete it - No.
At least I've got something to show the police.
- They'll have to believe me.
- Right.
Because I wasn't sure if you'd seen this.
'Police on the Isle of Sheppey are keen to identify this suspect, 'seen talking to Ben Graham' The police are looking for you.
I was just helping Denier, I just told him to to put a stop to what was happening.
Why is he doing this? I think it's slightly academic, Leila.
It's happening.
You can go to the police and hope they believe you.
- Or - What? - Fight back.
Win.
- No, he's too clever for me.
Really? You think so? What do you need? - To stop him.
- Then treat it as a proof, a maths problem.
What's missing? I need to change the inputs.
- Vary the integers.
- Randomising.
I'm too predictable.
What's the new integer? Particularly work colleagues and the gamers all over the world who have been worried about me in prison.
- 'Really, thank you.
But I have decided to make some changes' - Leila! - '.
.
and I won't be' Leils! Oh, for Christ alive! Got me in the bloody accounts department.
- Jesus.
Stop creeping about, then.
- What are you doing? If I had a car, would you take me somewhere? - Where? - It doesn't matter.
Someone I need to see.
Well, I er, I have a car, as it goes.
- You never told me about this.
- You never asked.
I got six sisters, I was the all Wales tap dancing champion, and I've got a mole the shape of Tunisia on my left arse.
We don't tell each other everything, do we? - I have to see a relative.
- Hey, that's good.
OK.
- And if you don't want to talk about it - No.
Can we go now? Yeah, we'll need a friendly neighbour, Vaseline, and some jump leads.
I've been worried about you, Mania.
- I smell.
- Not here.
Shadowfax says you're evil.
So, why are you here, then? You're special here, Mania.
You're so important.
Blink.
- What? - Blink or you'll miss it.
There she is.
What? I don't remember this.
Well, you wouldn't.
Because that isn't you.
It's OK.
It's nothing, it's fine.
You can do anything.
You're right.
I'm not scared now.
What's the harm in daring? Sunny Heights never looked better.
Do Widzenia.
Shadowfax took your login, phished your profile.
Look what she did for Calumny.
Why would she do that? Friends let us down.
But we don't need her now.
Something better is coming.
How? Didn't I promise you? That we'd all be together one day? We'll be together.
It's so close now.
Just wait for the message.
You won't believe it, how good it is.
It's rapturous.
And we're all going there.
When can we go there? I need to leave.
I need to go.
Hello? That's right! Just walk in! I suppose you're some kind of journalist? I'm nobody.
OK, nobody.
Spit it out.
Then you can go.
I need to ask you about Azana Planet? Hmm.
There are secret places in it.
Secret people.
I've had nothing to do with Azana for a very long time.
- But you coded everything.
- You say that You invented it.
But you see Leila.
.
.
Leila.
I live here now.
I garden.
I read mushy novels and philosophy.
And occasionally I pretend to do yoga with some lovely ladies from the village.
I can't help.
You have to.
Why? To stop someone killing people.
You have to show me how to find him, before he does it again.
Everyone kills in Azana.
It seemed such a brilliant idea at the time.
My friend's missing.
Come with me.
There's no phone, no internet, no television, radio.
My world is a simple one, Leila.
This is how I live now.
You need to help me access the base edit algorithms for the Azana core protocol.
There's no such thing.
But never mind.
I'm going to give you some advice, Leila, just this once.
Promise to stop this.
- It's not real.
- I know it's real.
I know if I go to the police, I'll get arrested.
They're looking for me.
I know what it means to kill someone.
So do you.
Who did you kill? My Mum.
She was sick.
She asked me to.
That's very sad, Leila.
But our circumstances were different.
This isn't a bond that brings us close.
OK? You're young, something's happened to you and you can't tell what's actual and what's not, right now.
Please.
Help me.
It's time for you to leave, Leila.
I've got my, er, address and phone number.
I'm safe, Leila.
You should be too.
Home.
Leila? What did he say? Your Dad.
What did he say? What are you talking about? Well, I just thought that? Just take me home.
I just want to go home.
OK.
Fuckin' idiot.
Leils? Leils? There's something I wanna tell you.
- Go away! - No! Fuck off! No, no, wait, just listen to me.
What you doing? Drinking.
And thinking.
Right, well, that's not always an ideal combo, is it? I wasn't crazy like this before, before all this shit.
Shut up.
What the fuck is going on? You'd think I was crazy.
You wouldn't believe me.
Hey! I'm professional.
An actor.
- Fuck off! - I can believe anything.
- Cool down! - Who the fuck are you? - Stop it! Tell me what? Huh? - I go - You want to tell me something? - What? You want to tell me something? I go bollocking nuts for you, girl.
And Olivia, is that you? Did you remember to get the wipes? I forgot to ask Look at you.
I don't mean to bother you.
What is it you want? I'm going away, Mum.
Somewhere I'll be better.
You stopped taking your medication.
Didn't you? That's the thing.
I won't need it.
I I just need a little money, you know, just to get there.
It's, it's far.
No.
Mum, please.
It's gonna be so Give it to her.
Hi.
How much? About, erm, about a thousand? That's a lot of goodness right there.
A lot of drugs.
It's not for drugs.
Why don't we call it 1,500? And you never come back.
Ever.
Is that fair? Mum? I, I don't think I think it's fine.
Isn't it, Tess? - Can I see Dad? - You know it upsets him.
Are we done? Mum's gonna get her chequebook.
And I think we're finally done.
I'm going home, Jack.
Is there anything you need? No.
Thanks.
I'm sure your parents will ring you this week.
Why would they do that? I'll see you tomorrow.
Thanks, Daisy.
Ah, there she is.

It's OK.
Your friend's been waiting for you.
Where is she? She? You have got it wrong.
I'm Kyle out here.
Leila.
How did you find me? Adrian told me.
Why? I'm supposed to watch you.
Until everyone else is ready to go.
I'm gonna make sure you don't do anything else to harm us.
- Go where? - A happy place.
You can't come.
On account of, you're evil.
You know that's not true.
Do I? Otherwise why would you be here, telling me this? Adrian thinks I'm dumb.
But I saw how he talked to Calumny and Denier, he was whispering at them.
Kyle.
Mania's missing now.
Come to the police with me.
- There's two of us now - I, I can't.
Jocasta won't see me until he says it's OK.
Just go.
Explain.
She never told me where she lives.
I gotta do something first.
What? It took her so long to believe in me.
She's everything.
Look, I'll come and find you tomorrow.
Then we can figure it out.
How I kill you.
OK? He won't see you coming.
Is everything well? It's all set.
This is Jonty, I'm available for work.
Leave a message.
I think I love you.
Shit.
Shit! Good evening, Jonty.
How did the audition go? If she's hurt.
I'll kill you.
Temper, I like that.
Hi, Daisy.
Where's Jocasta? Force? I was going to tell you.
So many times.
I thought that, sometimes you knew? I prayed that you knew.
No.
We were happy in Red Pill, weren't we? It can be OK, Force.
Please just, just let it be OK? Please.
Because love is love is, love is love.
Let me in, Leila! Leila, please! Leila.
I was doing it for you! Leila! Let me in! Shit! I was doing it for you! I was trying to help! Leila.
Only me now.
That does it, it lets you in.
It's altering the base algorithm.
Let me work on this! Find the safe pathway No, it's OK! No, no.
Agh! Leila? Mr Adams? Mr Adams? Mr Adams? Hi there, I'm here! I got some new shirts for you.
Nice colours.
We went down by the river, the current's strong there.
You slipped.
What about Jocasta? Was she happy? She went out of her mind, man.
Like Yeah, yeah.
She was happy.
So where is she? I told her to go lay low for a while.
And wait for me.
We've got to get in this car and go find Mania.
Right.
You and me.
I figured that's all you've got.
