This Is Not My Life (2010) s01e07 Episode Script

A memo from Stephen requesting login to central database.
Request is to a Mrs.
Hobbs.
File request, Jessica Wilmot, Services.
Service files are a Safeway Security Options Shit! This might all be crap, but she isn't and she needs you.
Did you know about this? - Isn't that Kyle? - Yes.
Keep your head down, go home.
Richard Foster, Regional Director, Safeway Security Options.
The client was attacked by your men.
Given mistakes were made on both sides here, I'm prepared to keep this between us.
Can I ask how she's doing? - Stable - You're safe now, I promise.
I mean, if it's my fault that you're here, - it's up to me to help.
- You really want to? Anything.
No, Alec, we cannot do this.
You're the only person I can talk to, and I can't afford to mess this up again.
So maybe I save her, and she loves me for it.
Because I'm a hero, and even though she's had a really hard life, she's still a beautiful flower, like in that old movie, you know.
It's a classic, it's got it's got Julia Roberts in it.
Erin Brockovich.
Yes.
No, no, no, no.
The other one.
She meets the rich guy and they go shopping.
Pretty Woman.
Pretty Woman.
Yeah, yeah, classic.
Because he saves her and she loves him for it.
You have an emergency call from personal systems.
I want to be that guy.
I'm on my way.
Hey, it's okay.
Gordy's here.
Come on.
Come on.
You're safe now.
Well done, Gordy.
Uh, well, it's one kid that won't go wandering away from the school camp again, that's for sure.
Her parents called.
They wanted me to pass on their appreciation.
Just glad I could help out.
I've been keeping an eye on you, Gordy.
You're a different man these days.
How do you mean? Jessica, isn't it? We're together now, yeah.
And she is what? A cleaner? She's smarter than that.
I'm sure she is.
Keep up the good work, Gordy.
You never know where it might lead.
She knew your name.
She knew your job.
Sounds like she's more interested in you than me.
She's not my type.
She's my boss.
Ah, but what if she ordered up a fling - with the guy in the office? - Gee, a stud.
That's how it is around here.
You showing me that file on who I was before, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Because now you're as paranoid as I am.
I'll go with motivated.
Nobody gives me crap about you, not ever.
What's so funny? You really are my knight in shining armor.
Are you taking the piss? You rescued me, even saved a little kid.
It's a dream come true.
What about you? What do you want? That's a mystery, isn't it? Who am I? So we find out.
Alec said there's no file.
Maybe he doesn't know everything.
Who is he anyway? He's just some desk jock.
Let's not talk about him, eh? I just want you to be happy, Jess.
As happy as I am.
So fake.
I like the blonde.
She's stupid.
Yeah, but she has the nicest hair.
Would you like another drink? Alec? Hey.
I said would you like another drink? What's wrong with you? You're so jumpy these days.
Yeah, just stuff in my head, - work stuff.
- You want to talk about it? Uh, well, I might go for a walk.
I can come.
Or I might just do some stuff in the garage.
Perhaps you might even finish that doll's house one of these days.
Maybe.
- Alec - Hey, Natasha.
Alec, are you all right? Great.
Yeah, apart from the bit where I expect to be dragged away any minute.
Has something happened? No.
And it won't as long as you don't do anything to draw attention to yourself or me.
Who else can I talk to? No one.
I thought we were quite clear on this.
Please don't call me unless it's important.
I'm sorry I can't take your call right now.
You know what to do.
Hey, it's me.
Hey, it's me.
If you get a chance, can you call me? I miss you.
I think I know what your problem is.
You do? Hobbies.
And I don't just mean messing about in the garage.
I think you need something to help you decompress, because you haven't really been the same since you gave up golf.
Yeah, just wasn't me anymore.
What about tennis? - What about it? - Oh, you can laugh.
But guys can't just meet and talk the way that women do.
They need an excuse, like sport.
Or a hobby? You don't have to listen, but I know I'm right.
- Alec.
- Gordy.
- Are you following me? - Why would I need to? I can find you anytime I want.
Yeah, well, we really shouldn't be seen together, so, you know Where did you find it? The recording of me before Waimoana.
Oh, you mean, where you wanted to do cut-price James Bond, rescue the blonde Where? Jess is never gonna be happy till she knows why she's here.
There wasn't a file for her.
- Well, you're holding back.
- Why would I The library.
That's crap.
It's not in personal preferences or magazines.
It's with Mrs.
Hobbs.
Mrs.
Hobbs? No way.
Looks can be deceptive.
Look, you want to play action man, go for your life.
But if you care about Jessica, you won't draw attention to her.
And you can talk.
Thanks for that.
Request file, Mrs.
Hobbs locater ID.
Access to this locator ID is not available.
Refresh.
You have entered an incorrect request code.
- This terminal is no longer activated - No, no, no, no, no, close.
Close.
Shit.
Gordy, I thought you were off today.
Yeah, I was just catching up on something.
Why are you interested in Mrs.
Hobbs? Is there a problem? Just answer the question, please, Gordy.
Well, there was an unusual activity at the library.
I couldn't locate the source, so I assumed there was a problem with the calibration.
I figured I'd just eliminate everybody who had a legitimate reason to be there.
That was very diligent of you.
Thanks.
So what did you discover? Mrs.
Hobbs' locater ID appears to be malfunctioning.
There is no malfunction.
Mrs.
Hobbs is a special case.
Special how? Your system will be reset shortly.
Oh, and, Gordy, now that you're here, would you mind staying around for a bit longer? - I kind of had something - I'd rather you stayed.
Sure.
Sure, no worries.
If you're there I have to talk to you.
Jessica? Hi.
Hi.
Did you get my message? Yeah.
Can I come up? - I'll leave Callie.
- What? - No.
- I'll do it.
Do you actually know anyone who is divorced in Waimoana? Oh, yeah, Jude, my PA.
I bet it was before she got here.
She was probably married to some dead shit and wanted to get out.
Good guess.
It makes sense.
If people order a new life, it probably doesn't include some messy break-up.
We can try.
They'll make you do counseling or give you drugs.
And if that doesn't work If Callie ordered a loving family man, that's what they'll give her.
What if you wanted a nice wife and kids with a bit of excitement on the side? That's not me.
You can't know that.
And Gordy is not so bad.
He wants to save me.
Maybe I need saving.
Maybe I ordered up a kia ora pizza.
Where is this coming from? I screwed up everything.
- No.
- Yes.
I nearly got you caught and me killed.
If you do this, they'll replace you, and I wouldn't even know.
Hey, at least, I get to play the hard-boiled femme fatale, even in a grunge uniform.
Who doesn't play a role? Who really gets a choice in any life? Oh, you'd never choose Gordy, not in a million years.
I can get used to him.
And if not, there's always one choice they can't take away from me.
I'm gonna get us out of here, I promise you.
But you can't Neither of us should make promises that we can't keep.
I love you.
And tell me you don't love me.
I just have to do what I have to do.
And sure, we can wish it wasn't this way, but it is and let it go.
There's nothing else you can do.
Thanks for waiting, Gordy.
Kia ora.
- Richard, Richard Foster.
- I'm Yes, I've been hearing all about you, Gordy, and your extracurricular activities.
Look, there's an explanation for that.
Hmm.
Well, I look forward to hearing all about it.
Was I right about this lamb? It's the real deal.
Tastes good to me.
Delicious.
So Gordy, Personal Systems wasn't exciting enough for you.
No, I didn't I didn't mean to So you have to go out and muster your way into Safeway Security Options instead.
We take our job very seriously.
I didn't even know that Waimoana had security options.
That's because we're very good at what we do.
See, the good folk of Waimoana don't like to know that they are being kept secure, they might Well, they might get a bit nervous, they might wonder what we are keeping them secure from.
Do you know what we're keeping them secure from, Gordy? No, I don't, I don't.
Well not from each other.
I mean, it's a Wellness issue.
I mean, you'd have to be sick in the head to try and cause trouble in Waimoana.
Yeah, of course, you would.
But there are outsiders out there that just envy our way of life.
I mean, they'd ruin it if they could.
And we have to make sure that they don't get any help from poor misguided bastards on the inside.
Gordy how'd you like to join our team? Your team? Well, you've been doing great work, from what I hear.
I mean, lost kids and stray campers.
Isn't it time you stepped up and played with the big kids? Come on, Gordy, what do you say? You down for a challenge? Sure.
I say bring it on.
Bring it on.
Good night.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Dad, I'm not a baby anymore.
Well, you're still my favorite daughter.
That 'cause I'm your only daughter.
Love you, Daddy.
Love you, too.
Don't give me that look.
Hey, did Stephen get hold of you? What about? I think he was interested in a boys' night.
Maybe you should call him.
Gee, that's a coincidence.
All right, yes, I was talking to Hope, and actually she mentioned that Stephen was at a loose end.
So, yeah, I thought you You're right.
Maybe I do need more interests.
- You actually think I'm right? - Yes.
Can you say that again? Yes.
I need to do something.
I could go crazy otherwise.
You want to get an early night? Yeah, yeah, sure.
I won't be long.
Okay.
Can I smoke? Sorry, need to smoke.
I want a husband.
I want children.
I want a nice house.
I don't want to give a shit about anything, you know, except cutting school lunches.
I want a husband who will love me as much as I love him.
What I want is to be loved.
- Oh! - Holy shit! Still up? Yeah.
I heard a rat, chased the little bugger over here.
- Sorry.
- No worries.
Live and let live, eh? They get in my compost.
Ah, you see, everyone's got a role, everything has got a place.
Eh? - You all right? - Yeah, I'm great.
I live in the greatest place in the world.
Just ask the rats.
Yeah, okay.
Good night.
Alec when I'm feeling anxious, I go fishing.
Calms the nerves.
A hobby? That's really good thinking, Roy.
That's a great idea.
Yeah.
Well, great to meet you, Gordy.
We're always looking for new blood.
You too.
Great dinner.
Looking forward to working with you.
Need a ride somewhere? Actually, I might walk.
Big meal.
You keep in shape.
Good for you.
Oh, where will I actually be located, physically, I mean? Well, we'll keep you in Personal Systems for now.
Let's see if we like each other before we move in together, eh? And like I said, we don't exist.
Hey, Gordy Jessica Wilmot how's she doing? She's good.
Yeah, I heard she had some problems.
Mental health problems.
It was her medication, some sort of bad reaction, but it's sorted now.
I'm sure it'll be fine, but lay off till I talk.
Okay? All right, sure.
My man.
I meant to be here earlier.
- It's no big deal.
- Something came up.
- It's not like we're married.
- I'm not meant to say but I've been promoted.
- Congratulations.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's pretty flattering.
But it does put me in a position where I might be able to find out more about what's going on for you, I mean.
What is this job? I don't exactly know, but it's definitely an opportunity.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Great.
So have you eaten? Yeah, yeah, big meal out.
Okay.
Shall we get to bed? Yeah, sure.
Yeah, I'd like that.
So here we are.
Have fun.
Thanks.
So what now? I have no idea.
You're Richard's puppy now.
Login Gordon Leach.
Welcome, Gordon.
How can I help? Request file, Jessica Wilmot.
History.
Medical or personal? Prior to Waimoana.
This portal does not have access to the information you require.
Do you wish to contact Safeway Security Options? No, no, no, cancel request.
Gordy.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
What's the point of being the boss if you can't keep civilized hours? No problem.
I just wasn't sure what I was meant to be doing here.
Have a seat.
What I'm about to tell you is beyond classified.
Are we clear on that, Gordy? Yes.
Yes, absolutely.
Good.
First thing you need to know is that every screen in Waimoana looks both ways.
Both ways? You look in and Johnny looks back out.
Johnny? Johnny is the computer.
Well, it's not just any computer.
He's AI.
Artificial intelligence.
It's awesome intelligence.
Allowing any person access to the network would be a violation of a basic right to privacy written into the Waimoana mission statement, verified by independent auditors, blah, blah, blah.
I'm sorry.
I'm not sure what's this got to do with me? That's a good question.
That's why you're here, Gordy.
We humans are creatures of habit.
We eat, shit, work, sleep, eat, shit, work, sleep.
To Johnny, these are just patterns, and when these patterns are disrupted, Johnny notices.
Login Richard Foster.
Welcome, Richard.
Access Johnny.
This is Johnny.
Say hello to Johnny for voice recognition.
Right.
Hi, Johnny.
- Hi, Johnny.
- How are you today? Here we go.
A log of aberrant activity.
Select a locator ID.
Go ahead.
Fa'assi, he's a gardener.
When he's not working, he's usually at home watching TV, yeah, but lately he's deviated from this pattern.
He's left his place of work early to go and meet William.
This is a UM, unusual movement.
Johnny notices.
However, it looks pretty innocuous.
Discount or investigate? Uh, discount.
That will be my recommendation.
What, even though he's bunking off during work hours? That's a labor issue.
Our focus is internal security only.
And what do I do if I see something that is security related? Report it to Safeway Security and we'll take it from there.
Have a nice day.
Oh, and, Gordy, if you're tempted to spy on your girlfriend or anyone else - don't.
- Well, I wouldn't.
It's not a legitimate UM and Johnny won't allow access.
And he'll report any violations to me.
Ciao.
Oh, we can't wait to hear your response to this.
Usual signature.
Send.
And you are major wankers.
Hey, mate.
Do you want to meet up for a drink after work? Why would I want to meet you? Does a mate need an excuse? Remind me, what's your favorite bar, I'll meet you there.
Hey, mate.
Great to see you.
Yeah, good day mate.
Same again.
And - Just a beer.
- Thanks.
So why am I here? Well, you've been here before.
Let's spend some time together.
Hopefully, Johnny won't pay too much attention.
Who's Johnny? So you don't know everything.
On my tab.
Johnny is AI.
Awesome intelligence.
He watches us through every screen in Waimoana.
Shit.
Shit.
Don't worry.
Johnny only pays attention if we deviate from our normal behavior.
It's bottoms up.
So why are you telling me this? Jess is never gonna be happy till she finds out who she was, and where she came from.
That's your fault, you owe her.
So you want my help? Did you really not find anything out at the library? No, I told you.
You might have been holding something back.
You mean in your Harold Robbins world? Who? Don't you read the classics? Piss off, you smug bastard.
I gave you Johnny.
I didn't have to.
Okay.
Your file was there, and my wife was there, but there was nothing on Jessica or on me, okay? Why not? I was in a hurry, maybe I was looking in the wrong place.
- I don't know.
- Okay.
Okay, you're a clever bugger, I'll give you that.
Jamming our locaters probably saved our asses.
Locators, you mean, the trackers, the chips in our heads.
Yeah, they're called locators.
- Yeah, we call them trackers.
- Who is "we," dipshit? The people who matter call them locators.
Well, call them whatever you like, to me they're a tracker.
And Johnny doesn't give a shit what anybody calls them.
Pretty sure he keeps a track of us through our locators.
Not if I block them.
Okay, makes sense.
Well, explains why he hasn't picked up on you so far.
- Pure luck.
- Eh? But there are some people out there that don't have locators at all, like Mrs.
Hobbs and others.
And maybe they're the ones who know what the hell is going on here.
Are you as smart with computers as you say? What do you have in mind? Hi, you must be Gordy.
I'm Callie, Alec's wife.
- Sorry for the early start.
- Oh, come in.
Alec, your mate's here.
You actually talked him into a day off to go fishing? Yeah, that's right.
How did you guys meet? Through a friend.
Yeah.
- Sort of my girlfriend, actually.
- Oh, really.
What's her name? Jessica.
The cleaning girl? Hey! Gear's in the garage, through here.
That was a great idea, socializing with a mate.
Well, you have a great time then.
Yeah.
We got two hours from now.
His car is still here.
He said he liked to work civilized hours.
You know that recording of me, I mean, before Waimoana.
Yeah.
How do you reckon I got from there to here? Well, maybe it's part of the deal.
Like I agreed to have my memory wiped or whatever.
Yeah.
If life outside was bad enough.
It doesn't matter.
We're here now.
We got to make the most of it, eh? Oh, here we go.
That's him.
We're on.
Hey, hey, back off.
Back off, we're getting too close.
Where the hell are we going now? Shit.
Must be a prohibited zone.
Anybody gets too close, their locator ID triggers an alarm.
Location and Rescue collects them.
Any idea what's really in there? No.
There's only one way to find out.
We got less than an hour.
Doesn't look too hard.
Could be some kind of motion detectors.
If there are, they're probably set off by our track locator ID.
That's got to be a guess.
Yeah, call me psychic.
Otherwise they'd waste a lot of time chasing pigs and cats.
Now we could work our way around the back, see if there's another entrance.
No, not this time.
Let's go.
We got 20 minutes.
Can you believe it? Just as well he didn't take a dump.
Okay.
We are officially here.
We got to get back inside that place.
Yeah, it's gonna be tight, Two hours max.
Alec, is that you? Oh, that's the ball and chain.
Hey, thought I heard you back.
Did you catch anything? No, we got bored.
Is fishing code for early drinking or something? Well, it's nice you made a new friend.
Yeah.
Is that what I am, a friend? Not a chance.
Now how about you show me how you do that jamming thing with the locator? Sure.
Might come in use tonight.
Tonight? Yeah.
How's your poker? Well, this is a turn up.
Should I be covering the TV screen or something? It should be okay.
We've both been here before.
Two mates going fishing.
But you know you don't have to do this.
Yeah.
I think I do.
Got those pantyhose, babe? - Do you want me to put that in the pack? - No, I got it.
Should I be worried about you guys with your mutual interest in women's underwear? That's fine.
So where exactly is this place? It's best if you don't know.
Well, whatever we find, we'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
Be careful.
Are you worried about me or him? I'm with you, aren't I? Well, we should get a move on.
Right.
Have fun out there, boys.
And keep those home fires burning.
There's three guards in the area.
There's two And here's the other one.
Unless there's anyone else in there without an ID.
We'll have to take a chance.
Sure that's gonna work? Hopefully.
It'll send them chasing ghosts.
Oh, my God.
Did she really wear these? You don't want to think about it.
You really don't.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes! Get in! So who's winning? Too easy.
Human error is a wonderful thing.
Buy us time.
And hallelujah, it's the old game.
Welcome to Safeway Security Options.
Search Alec Ross.
This file is not Oh, for Yeah, right, what you do best.

Let me in there.
There's got to be more.
They're still here.
No, wait.
Hold off until I know more.
She's better off not knowing.
I need details.
How? What happened? Um Uh, court records, Gaulton.
Please confirm identity.
No, no, no, you can't, you can't.
No, listen, we can't tell Jessica this.
It's not gonna help her.

They'll know we're here.
Oh, you idiot.
I'll clean up when I'm finished.
