Curfew (2019) s01e05 Episode Script

You two should be in bed.
Have you any idea how late it is? We want to see them come past the farm.
There's nothing out there.
Come on.
Back to your beds.
Shouldn't we just let them overtake us? You do realise this is a race you signed up for? I'm really starting to lose my patience with this lot.
How about giving them a nudge? If I give 'em a nudge, they're gonna wind up in the next field.
I'm not averse to us pushing our weight around, but this lothardly competition, are they? Kaye.
What are you doing here? Seriously good to see you.
- I tried calling you but-- - No reception.
Part of the appeal of this place.
So, you here for the surf? No.
No, erm I need a favour.
This is Michael.
- How's it going? - It's going good, thank you.
What kind of favour are we talking about? We won't stay for long.
- A couple of days, tops.
- No problem.
So, do you two work together? It's complicated.
- He's a former patient.
- Oh, right.
Soyou and him are Yeah.
We didn't get together until after he'd finished his treatment.
But, yeah, we are.
Good for you.
I mean it, Kaye.
To hell with medical ethics.
He looks well worth it.
Looks like we're gonna be flatmates for a bit.
- You sure that's all right? - Mi casa, su casa.
Do you surf? Never had a chance, but I'm up for it.
Never too late to start.
Michael is still recovering from a major operation.
Looks fighting fit to me.
Gross.
Oh.
Roman? Roman, are you all right? Let's get out of the car.
See anything? What happened? Zane! Mum, he's bleeding! Right, get the first aid kit.
It's in the boot.
I'm all right.
I'm all right.
- You're OK.
- I'm all right.
- Babe? Oh, my God.
- It's just a cut.
Maybe a bit of concussion.
He'll live.
Right, umlet's have a look.
I think we've literally blown a gasket.
Hanmei? Mum? Mum? I can't open it.
- Do you see it? - I see it.
Is it dead? It is now.
- What are you doing? - What's it look like I'm doing? I've got a target.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Maybe they thought we were firing at them.
Let's just give it a minute.
Fire in short bursts.
I'll make a break for the trees, then circle round.
Excuse me? You're gonna do what? - Get us a new set of wheels.
- Roman, put the gun down.
We're gonna find a solution that doesn't involve senseless violence.
That hot hatch isn't gonna flip over by itself.
We don't need their help, Mum.
We can do it.
You and me.
Mum, what are you doing? Get back! - They're trying to kill us.
- Mum! Female.
Looks like you've got a bit of engine trouble.
That's right.
I was wondering if we might be able to come to some sort of mutually-beneficial arrangement.
Go on.
Wellyou've got two vehicles .
.
Both of them in various states of disrepair.
You only need one.
What if we help you flip the car over, then you let us take what we need from the truck? Louise Collins.
People call me Lou.
Jennifer Donahue.
Jenny.
This is Roman, my youngest.
He was meant to be getting ready for his GCSEs but, well .
.
We've had to put that on the back burner for various reasons.
And that's Meg, my daughter.
At first she was against the race, but actually she's responded remarkably well.
- And that's her boyfriend Zane.
- What is she doing? She gets like this when she's nervous.
It's a really embarrassing time to be related to her.
Oh andthat's Ruby.
She's meant to be racing with her sister but they had a row about something.
She can come across as a bit hostile when you first meet her.
- And you've met my dog.
- Yeah, I don't need to know its name.
You're good people I get it.
Let's roll.
How can it weigh this much? Depleted uranium alloy.
Knock yourself out.
Do you reckon it'll fit? I'm not a mechanic, Meg.
Once I've mastered the principles of the combustion engine, I'll let you know.
It'll fit.
Come on.
- Is he bothering you? - Oh, it's OK.
I like dogs.
I figured you'd be more of a cat person.
What made you think that? I don't know.
I just supposed.
Cats are selfish.
They only think about themselves.
Dogs have a personality.
They're loyal and obedient.
I don't know about that.
Brutushe can be well behaved most of the time.
But the minute he sees a squirrel, forget about it.
Ugly little fuckers, aren't they? You knowit was the strangest thing.
He just walked straight out into the road.
Maybe he did it on purpose.
Wouldn't you want to die if you turned into one of them? I'm not planning on doing that.
I'm gonna win this race.
You seem pretty sure about that.
No doubt in my mind.
This time tomorrow, me and my family will be gazing up at the stars.
That's why we're doing this.
- How about you? - Good fucking question.
Why don't you just not go? Seriously, Kaye.
We could have so much fun together.
I have to.
Mum needs me.
I need you.
Michael needs you.
You definitely need him.
I can't.
II feel like something's wrong.
It's like she's got a hold on you.
She's in trouble.
Listen.
I want you to do something for me.
It's really important that Michael stays here.
Well, that's easier said than done.
He strikes me as the kind of person who does what he wants.
Then you're gonna have to find a way to persuade him.
Can you do that for me? Sure.
I made coffee.
That's good.
She's gone.
She had to go deal with some work stuff.
What? Did she say anything before she left? She did, actually.
She said that she might be gone a while.
I should go after her.
The thing about Kaye iswork always comes first.
If you turn up at Kiloran, that could be bad for her career.
She could get struck off.
She doesn't want you there, Michael.
She's the same as Mum.
No one is ever gonna be as important to her as her job.
You can't compete.
No point trying.
If you want my advice .
.
Best thing you can do right now is juststay put.
Try it again.
The lights are on, so the battery must be working.
- Clearly it's something else.
- I thought you said the problem was the battery.
The problem was with the battery, but we couldn't find any other problem because the main battery was flat.
- So, what's the problem now? - I don't know, Mum.
- I'm not a mechanic.
- Well, you're good with computers.
- They're machines.
- They're not You know, I'm not even gonna answer that.
We're screwed.
What's the hold-up? Cos we need to get going.
Yeah.
There's a problem with your ignition system.
HT lead to your coil's gone.
This car's going nowhere.
And, before you ask, nothing going from the tow truck, it's diesel.
Hand over the keys to the sports car.
That's not gonna happen.
I really hope you know what you're doing, cosI've got two settings.
Nice and Not Nice.
And right now, how I'm feeling .
.
Let me tell youit's Not Nice.
I don't care about you or your settings.
Hand over the keys.
Oh, you want 'em that bad? You take 'em.
RubyI want you to put the gun down.
Mum You know you're not gonna fire it, so just put it down - Mum.
- What is it, Roman? There's someone coming.
You deserve a slap for that.
Lucky for you, I've wasted enough time already.
Well, howdy.
You in need of some assistance? Cos we have an amazing selection of handheld meat snacks.
You wouldn't have a spare HT lead, would you? Cheese, we got an HT lead back there? - What does HT stand for? - I got no idea.
I mean, we've got leads.
We've got all kinds of leads.
We've got leashes and harnesses, and belts and braces Hang on.
I think I've got something that might help.
I was saving this for later but, given your situation, I think you guys probably need it more than we do.
- This is serious, guys.
- That's true.
But it would be a lot less serious if you're stoned out of your mind.
Yo, listen.
You could always go to the farm just up the track back there.
According to this, Dead Water Farm is the third biggest farm in the whole of Warwickshire and it specialises in organic animal husbandry.
I'm seeing green tractors, guys.
Green tractors with shiny HT leads.
Don't listen to him.
The only crops that you need are the ones inside that six-skinner.
Listen, you're doing great.
Just keep that anxiety on an even keel and if the Mooks try to bite you .
.
You bite them back.
We've lost so much time! Yeah, look at that! Now we're down to fucking sixth! Don't you want to see your mum? Put your seat belt on.
We're leaving.
You know you want to help.
Fuck! Right, what do you need? A lift to a farm.
Get in.
Not you, Jenny.
- Her.
- Why me? Cos you and I are gonna have words on the way.
What are you looking at? - You stay here.
- OK.
Keep your eyes open.
There could be more of them.
Everyone back in the car.
Get your stuff.
There's room in the car if you want.
- It might be safer.
- I'll stay out here.
So, isLou your mum? Are you, likeadopted or something? Are you sure you don't want to stay in the car? We hit that thing pretty hard.
They'll be able to smell its blood for miles.
- Where is it now? - Over there.
I don't see anything.
It was right there.
Get up! What makes you think they'll even help us? What happened? Something must have happened .
.
to make you this cynical.
Maybe it's a combination of things.
I don't know.
But something's happened.
Anger.
My guess, there's a man involved.
Are we still talking about this? Nothing but trouble, men.
Take this race.
No woman would ever think up something this stupid.
It's in-built in our DNA.
Survival.
Not being idiotic dickheads.
- You're racing.
- I'm doing it for love.
One of our greatest weaknesses, I know.
But also one of our greatest strengths.
If you can't open yourself up to love .
.
what's the point of living? Love is just nature's way of tricking people into reproducing.
Not for me and Sue, it's not.
Hello? We've broken downon the road and we need some help to get started.
We'd gladly pay you for any help you give us.
Hello? It's not stealing if we leave them money.
It's breaking and entering.
Which isn't even a crime.
It's a misdemeanour.
We should at least take a look.
What do you want? Ideally, some kind of high-performance sports car if one's available.
Failing that, any kind of petrol engine will do.
We need an HT lead.
There's a tractorin the barn.
That'll do it.
Amazing.
I haven't had her out in a while but she runs pretty well.
We'll pay you double what it's worth.
Maybe that's the noise they make, you know, when they die or We've got movement.
600 metres.
It's calling to them.
Which way are they heading? I don't know.
Wait.
Couldn't that just bea herd of foxes or something? It's a "leash" of foxes.
They're heading to the farm.
- We have to warn the others.
- There are flares in the truck.
- It's not safe to fire flares.
- Don't worry.
I'm quick.
You shouldn't be out at night.
It's not safe.
We were aware there was risk involved.
It's not just yourselves you're putting in danger.
No, and we really appreciate what you're doing for us.
Are you lot out of your minds? Have you any idea what you've just done? Well, to be fair, we didn't do anything.
You think they won't see that? Course they will.
And then they'll come looking.
They always come looking.
I've made a terrible mistake.
I should never have opened the door.
You're not just gonna leave us here? You need to get in your car and go.
Now.
Before it's too late.
Is it inside the car? There's nothing out there.
A34 Motorway.
You've already said that.
Is it all around us? Is it silvery? - That's cheating.
- You haven't even said what it is yet.
- Moonlight.
- Yes.
Finally.
- That's not a thing.
- Moonlight's a thing.
- It's not a thing.
- It's a thing.
'Team 11 to Team 21.
Come in.
Over.
' Team 11, this is Team 21.
We read you.
Over.
We're in a bit of a hard situation here.
Is itIs it Ruby? What's happened? 'We're not entirely sure.
' 'But we think she might be in danger' and we're not in the best position to help.
'What is your position?' Our position is really, really bad.
No, she means which place are we in.
Sixth.
'We're by a farm on a B road.
' OK.
We're only a couple of places behind you.
We'll be with you as soon as we can.
'Great.
We'll send our coordinates now.
' It's reinforced steel.
It'd take a tank to break through that.
Quick! We need to get inside.
We bring the cows in every evening.
People think Mooks only eat humans but they'll make do when they're hungry.
And they're always hungry.
Your dad seems wound pretty tight.
He's just overprotective.
Since Mum left, he's been looking after us and running the farm pretty much single-handed.
What happened to your mum? SheShe moved to the city.
She asked me to move in with her but I said no.
- Dad needs me here.
- The woman I love .
.
lives on an island thousands of miles away.
Doesn't mean we love each other any less.
How come you didn't go with her? I wasn't invited.
Mr Larssen asked her to go with.
If you're gonna rebuild the world, you need a top-notch civil engineer.
And Sue's the best there is.
Didn't you get pissed off when she left you behind? They don't just give out tickets to everyone.
They offered her a plus one but there's three of us.
The plan was I was gonna join her later with our daughter.
But erturns out it wasn't as straightforward as we thought.
You must really love each other.
We do.
People aren't as bad as you think.
Although some have their moments.
It's better if we stick together.
Dad calls it the wisdom of cows.
You know, safety in numbers.
They might not be the smartest creatures-- No! No! Ok.
I've got an idea.
Wait for the signal and then open the latch.
What's the signal? - Come on, we gotta get going.
- We can't just leave.
Ruby, get in the car.
This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for us.
- We've got to do something! - I know how you feel.
But there is nothing we can do right here, right now.
We've definitely got movement.
50 metres.
40 metres.
30 metres.
Why can't we see them? 20 metres.
That was unexpected.
Is everything all right? We heard shooting.
Yeah, there's going to be a lot more where that came from.
Right, maybe we should wait inside the car.
Good idea.
They're close.
It looks like there are six of them.
You should be able to see them now.
Try it now! Now's good, Roman! Elvis has left the building.
- Are you OK to drive? - Sure.
Try it again.
It has to start.
It must be a loose connection.
They're close.
They'll rip you to pieces.
Don't do it.
Let's go! Go! Go! Wait.
Let's go.
Something's wrong.
Maybe you caught your leg on something as you were coming in.
I thought they'd got me but I'm OK.
You don't know for sure.
I'm gonna get out of the car now.
You can't do that, Ruby.
I won't let you.
I hope you make it.
I mean that.
She's getting out.
Sergeant! Don't move! No moving! Stay still! Hey, sis.
Come with me or they all die.
Ruby, I'm sorry.
Keep moving.
- You need to go.
Now! - No.
There's more creatures coming.
No.
I'm not leaving you.
Kaye .
.
I'm so sorry.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
I do .
.
I really do.
I told Michael you didn't love him .
.
and that you weren't coming back.
He thinks you don't care about him.
Time for you to step away now.
She's my sister.
Not any more, she's not.
Here.
Please.
I'm sorry.
You sure you're OK to drive? Right now that's all I'm good for.
