Wreck (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

Needle in a Gaystack

I loved your sister.
I never met anybody like her.
But I'm done.
I'm leaving at the next port.
The truth's in there.
Pippa's room number's in there.
What are we actually looking for?
Anything she might've left behind.
These are cabin numbers and dates.
What is it? Names.
You two are onto something big.
You could use some backup.
The people on Pippa's list, the
computer's saying they've absconded.
It doesn't make any sense.
How can Jerome have absconded
when we haven't even docked yet?
I think from now on,
we need to be honest.
There is so much I need to tell you.
OK.
Don't stop on my account.
Felipe and Jerome,
who knows what they had going on?
People abscond all the time.
Jerome. I never told you about him.
Where is my sister? I chased her,
all the way to the edge of the ship,
and I watched her fall.
What is going on?
THUNDER ROLLS
What if someone sees?
The guests were a no-show.
Some people have got money
to burn, apparently.
Hi. Hi.
How was the show tonight?
Oh, don't ask.
I'm just counting down the days
until I'm off here.
Well, you know what I mean.
You know surprising a northern girl
with a chippy tea
is basically a proposal?
Pippa, the other night, I
Don't worry about it. No, I'm
But it doesn't count when
you say it with dick brain.
No, well, that's the thing
It's honestly fine.
No, it wasn't dick brain.
Yeah, but don't worry about it.
But, Pippa, listen to me.
I meant it.
I love you.
You're real.
Real is something that's been
missing from me for a long time.
Real's what I need.
And
..I have to tell you something.
Something I should've
told you a long time ago.
I
DISTANT SCREAM
What was that?
Wait here.
DOOR OPENS
THUNDER RUMBLES
Sam?
THUNDER CRACKS
WHIMPERING
THUD
I was handling it.
Well, it didn't look very handled.
I want to know who he's talked to.
He hangs round with a girl.
Vivian. Her name's Vivian.
Anyone else?
Wake up. What is wrong with you?
He made a mistake.
Yeah, several.
And we're paying for 'em.
He needs his head looking at.
I am in the room, you know?
Yeah, I'm talking ABOUT you,
not TO you, psycho.
We've a duty to each other.
Oh, yeah?
And where was his duty to us
when he was poking that slag, eh?
Enough.
Go find this Vivian.
Move out.
Where are we?
Where are we?
Sam?
Those boys are done
covering for you.
I should never have let you
get involved with the girl.
She was never going to understand.
Not like I do.
Not like we do.
Clean up your mess.
I'll square things with the others.
And get rid of
the French boy's shite.
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
What do you mean, he's gone?
I mean Jerome's gone.
There's already someone new
in his room.
Do you know him? This Jerome?
Jesus, Cormac.
The lad's Bermuda Triangled
and you're worried
whether or not we had it off?
Where is she?
That's Vivian's cabin.
Why Jerome, huh?
What did he ever do to you?
Are you killing people?
And and they're covering for you?
Did Pippa find out?
Is that why you killed her?
Answer me.
Sam.
Go on, then! Do it!
You heard her - clean me up
like you cleaned Pippa up.
You didn't love her.
You're just sick in the head.
Fuck!
You know, I'd quit if it meant
that I could spend
the rest of this week with you.
What's stopping you?
I have this friend who needs me.
When my mum said
I had to come on here,
I didn't love the idea of having
to spend my 22nd birthday
at an enrichment seminar.
Or worse - ziplining.
And then,
second day,
there you were.
My real gift.
That sounded better in my head.
Well, lucky for you,
I'm the gift that just keeps giving.
Shit. Ow. Jesus.
Cormac, what the hell?
Were you slapping sloppies up here?
What are you doing?
Who's she? Uh, she's with me.
Well, you breast
BEST come with us.
Why? What's going on?
You're being hunted.
Well, is it done? Um
Hey-hey. How's it going?
Aye. All shipshape, Mr A.
Got to keep the troops happy.
Doughnut?
No, ta.
You sure? Yeah.
Officer Rhodes, wait up.
THUD
Where have you been?
Talk to me, Cormac.
Let me help.
Cormac, please.
My name isn't Cormac.
What?
I thought Jamie was with you.
He went to meet with Sam.
I shouldn't have let him go on
his own. Why didn't I go with him?
Looked like you had your
hands full back there.
I didn't know you had it in you.
Hiya. I'm Rosie.
Lily.
You've got a tit out, Lily.
This is it, I can feel it.
Game's over.
We're all completely
Jesus!
You need to come with me.
What is going on? Where's Jamie?
Why Jerome?
He was so
Harmless.
I mean, he was the only one of us
who actually enjoyed being on here.
What did he ever do to Sam?
This doesn't make sense.
None of it makes sense.
What about Pippa?
I mean, did she?
She's dead.
Sam killed her. He chased her
over the side of the ship.
I'm so sorry.
And the people on her list,
the absconded,
what happened to them?
Same as Pip and Jerome.
They're all gone.
Who the hell is this Sam?
Why is he killing people?
He's he's one of the officers.
I thought he was the nice one.
Yeah, well,
how often do you hear that?
"He was quiet,
he seemed like a nice guy."
And even worse, all the other
officers are covering for him.
And these lads took you
to some secret room
that none of us have ever noticed
with no What?
With no windows and a hidden door?
Yeah.
There must be someone we can go to.
I could go to my parents.
Yeah. Yeah, cos
her family's, like, Bezos rich.
People will listen to them.
She's a whale?
He means you're first class.
We all have a cross to bear.
Even if we raise the alarm,
it's our word against theirs.
We've got zero proof.
OK, so let's get it.
We owe it to Jerome, don't we?
We owe it to all of them.
We dock tomorrow, so let's just
get the proof and get off here.
Yes. Run away.
Finally, a sensible plan.
We need to go and find
the room that they put you in,
get some photos of Jerome.
With those mad bastards still in
there? That's not running away,
that's running back
into the burning building.
Yeah, well, the police took
Danny's body, didn't they?
So Jerome is the only
solid proof that we have.
We just have to find this room.
Olly, you know
guys in engineering, right?
So you can get us ship schematics.
Yeah. Yes, brilliant.
OK, so you two stay here
with Jamie, keep watch,
and we'll go and find
Lily's parents.
Guys, come on!
Right now we have the advantage.
We can do this.
The officers won't want to
attract attention,
and there are thousands
of crew on here.
So finding us will be like
finding needles in a gay stack.
THUD
THUD
THUD
Listen up.
I SAID LISTEN UP!
We've got ourselves
a couple of recreants.
Defectors.
Deserters.
Isn't that the boy
who shagged a fish?
Insubordinate rats who have
shirked all responsibility
and dropped you lot in
the big fuck-it bucket.
Well, not on Karen's watch.
Their treachery
will not go unpunished.
I need Vivian Lim and Jamie Walsh
turned over to me.
We have reason to believe that some
of you lot must have been
aiding and abetting.
So for every hour that goes by
that they are not in my custody,
we'll be docking all crew
half a day's wage.
What? You can't do that.
Are you joking?
Watch me, juicy fruit.
Now, tick tock.
Get out there and catch me my rats.
You heard her. Move! Move! Move!
Half a day's wage?
Are they having a laugh?
They can't do it, we have rights.
Chop fucking chop! Out!
I know every inch of this ship.
No hidden rooms.
Can I take these?
They're looking for your boy.
What was that about gay stacks?
Come on, let's go.
Is that her?
You all right, Jamie?
She's gone.
Pippa was all I had
and she's actually gone.
That's not true, OK?
It might've been before,
but it's not any more.
There's people all over this ship
putting their necks
on the line for you, man.
You're not alone, OK?
We've had our
differences, me and you.
You are highly strung and actually
quite inflexible at times
..but we're all here for you.
I'm here for you.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'll tell you something else.
Pippa and you? These guys
messed with the wrong family.
Have you seen?
Your face is everywhere.
Quickly.
It's her! It's the girl!
She's over there!
Should I get the blue or the red?
Get both, baby.
Look at this, honey?
Will I look frumpish in this?
Not possible, cherry pie.
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry, don't worry.
I've got it. I've got it, it's fine.
Here, put these on.
Are you actually being picky?
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Wait up. Not so fast.
You missing something?
You dropped this.
Thanks.
All clear on the promenade.
Keep looking.
So, do you remember anything
about how you got to this room?
We went upstairs, about
about three or four sets.
It I wasn't very conscious.
Oh. Look, the room was on
a higher deck, all right?
It it, it felt like
I fell for a long time.
We could be here all night.
I'm not sure we've got all night.
OK. Let's say this
secret room is real.
It's real. Well, they aren't
going to advertise it, are they?
But there has to be a way in.
How many decks are on here again?
18. 15 for guests and
Pippa's cabin. Her floor, she'd
written numbers all over her floor.
It looked like she'd lost the plot
but I think she was
mapping the ship.
There was this this weird symbol.
What you doing?
Oh, I fucking love Pictionary.
What is it?
Oh, hands.
It's hands pressed together.
Oh, yeah. Like the prayer emoji.
No, no. You mean
the high five emoji.
No, I mean the prayer emoji.
No. It's a high five.
It's two hands praying.
No, no. It's a high five.
It's the prayer emoji.
Cormac, how can you not see that?
One hand there
and the other hand there, praying.
How is that not praying?
Jamie? What is it?
Jamie? Jamie, what is it?
What? Keep walking.
We're here.
Jamie. What?
What are we looking for?
I don't know.
Excellent.
Maybe a door?
Like the one I saw the officers use.
This room, it was significant.
It was
It was important to Pippa.
I didn't know we had a prayer room.
Yeah, that's cos
you're a godless heathen.
Don't hate the sinner.
Mum? Mum!
What were you doing in my room,
creep? Where's Mum?
She's at a pasta making class.
Well, how long is she going to be?
How long is a piece of pappardelle?
You know, I knew you
had mummy issues, Lil,
but getting your girlfriend
an M&S makeover?
Really.
Can you just? Find them. Yeah.
Don't talk to her, Nile.
I mean it.
Hey, don't worry, I can handle him.
It's not you I'm worried about.
Look,
can you just be careful, please?
I'm a whale, remember?
They won't try me.
No, I don't think normal rules
apply on this ship.
Just stay here.
HOLLOW KNOCK
Do you hear that?
Come here. Listen.
Jesus Christ.
Where the hell are we?
Inside the walls.
I've always wondered how the
officers were always so everywhere.
So Sam isn't the only psycho
in here?
LOUD CLANG Sh.
What was that?
They are so dead.
They're not in here.
This seems like a lot of effort
for a deserter.
I wonder what fish boy
actually did.
They turned the crew electric off.
Water's off again too.
I've had to start douching with
a bottle of San Pellegrino.
Urgh.
Sophia, can you speak to Sam?
Find out what's going on.
Or see if we can use his bathroom.
Me and Sam are done with.
What?
Yeah. I outgrew him.
Were you and Sam, like, a?
Friends with benefits.
But the benefits have
officially run out.
BOTH: Shame.
These weren't in the blueprints.
They must go all over the ship.
I think we should
No. No. No.
What?
No. Not happening, OK? I know
what you're going to say.
We should split up? No!
No. Get all the way off to fuck.
He's, he's darkness-phobic.
He's afraid of the dark?
I'm afraid of what's
in the dark. OK?
Like psychotic military freaks who
want to cut our fucking heads off
and drink from our fucking skulls.
DISTANT CLANG
Come on. I'll hold your hand.
No, no, go on.
I'm good. I'm good.
I'm good.
Look, just remember,
if you find the room
Photos. Evidence. Got it.
Be careful.
Come on, big man.
Why is it so hot? It's hot as hell.
Maybe because this is hell.
What?
Do you remember how you
ended up on here?
On the Sacramentum?
What if none of it is real?
What if we all died
and this boat is some
sort of purgatory?
Think about it.
OK, I have thought about it.
Don't talk shite.
CLINK
What?
What is it?
Where's your bathroom?
I'm not allowed to talk to you.
Restock the shampoo
whilst you're in there, skiv.
You know, it's quite glaring.
What's that?
Your freaky crush on your sister.
SCOFFS, LAUGHS
I mean, yeah,
she's not your sister by blood,
but, for the sake of scandal,
we'll go ahead and call it incest.
A game the whole family can play.
You don't know anything.
Well, I know that
you're a spoilt brat
with delusions of adequacy,
who tries to make other
people miserable
because you can't bear
your own empty existence,
cos you're so desperate
to be wanted.
Bathroom?
On the left.
Jamie, are you all right?
Yeah, fine.
Slow down. Hey, hey, look at me.
What?
Breathe.
I'm sorry I lied to you, all right?
I lied because I didn't want to
get you involved in all this.
You can still turn back.
You did what you had to.
Coming on here like you did,
I think it's amazing.
I think YOU'RE amazing, Jamie.
No, I'm not going back.
We're doing this.
We're going to bring
these guys down.
They've been watching us?
I think there's more
to it than that.
DISTANT THUD
I don't think we're alone.
Here.
LATCH CLUNKS
It's a dead end.
No, it's not. Keep going.
AIR HISSES, GRATING, THUD
Yeah, this is it.
They they took my phone. Can I?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh.
I can't. I can't look.
I'm sorry, Jerome.
SHUTTER CLICK
All right, Jamie, we've got enough.
Come on, come on,
we need to go, Jamie.
But you just got here.
Well, don't just stand there.
FEEDBACK SQUEALS
Hey, fellas. Come on up.
How are ya?
Hello, Mary.
Don't you fucking Phone, now.
You have a lot of questions, Jamie.
And I'll show you the truth.
First though, let me
apologise sincerely on behalf
of everyone at Velorum.
It should never have
gotten to this point.
We haven't had an incident
like this in a very long time.
But here we are.
A word, once let out of the cage,
cannot be whistled back again.
Stand by LXQ11.
Christ.
Problem, Officer Beaker?
No. No problem, sir.
Make yourself useful.
Stop.
You kids want a lemonade
or something?
What is going on?
Karen?
No.
Sam?
You sure?
Sit.
Coffee.
Coffee.
We are ready to go.
BEEPING
Then go we shall.
The boys are fine.
Aren't you, boys?
We're all going to watch together.
Whales to checkpoint one.
What are we watching?
RAGGED BREATHING
Who is that? Who is she?
Leila.
She works in housekeeping.
Whales at checkpoint two.
It's their anniversary.
Karen, we're ready for you.
Roger that. Copy.
Punch it.

Nice work, people.

Thanks, everyone.

I tried to warn you.
I probably could've been

Maybe we have more

I told you.
You're my birthday gift
