The Gardener

1
Erhello. Hi. Um
Yeah, I'm just going to record this
for posterity. Um
Huh! This isthis is weird.
This isthis is really, really
weird, actually, because
Well, hell, I never thought I'd be
making something so cool
for someone so fucking amazing.
Now, listen, she's this girl
from school.
She'sshe's never considered
going out with someone like me,
but I'm going to try.
Because, you know, she'sshe's
inspired me!
I've been building an app so I can
get to know who she really is.
Erit's mostly me, but my friends
from my coding forum,
they'rethey're supporting me.
Alyssa, the face
that launched a thousand codes.
You know, she's smart and fit.
She'sshe, ershe's just
perfect. She's
She's my muse.
Hmm!
Yeah.
Well? See that?! That's working.
R3RO, you're a genius.
Our very own Cyrano de Zuckerberg.
Oh-ho-ho! Smashed it.
Time to use what you've learnt.
Are you ready for the next part?
Yeah. You're ready.
It won't be long before she's
all yours.
If you don't have the keys
to the heart
..then use the keys to the mind.
Who cares what she likes?
I do. Every datapoint is a part
of her mental landscape.
It's like reading a map.
What does she watch?
Who are her friends?
Where does she hang out?
What's her star sign?
Who does she fancy?
Who does she hate?
Who are her family?
What does she eat?
What does she wear?
What are her passions?
What does she love?
What does she want?
What does she need?
What does she fear?
You've got enough info,
just ask her out.
She's out of your league.
Red Rose won't change that.
You can shut up.
We think it's time you made this
IRL and ask her out, don't we?
Sure. 100%. Ask her out, now.
Um I don't know. Like
Because we've been talking now
more than ever,
and she's asked to be
my science partner,
and it's only been a month
of bonding, so
I don't want to rush it. I don't
think there's any need to rush it.
Do you? Alyssa wants you to tell her
what to do, trust me.
We're sick of the questions.
I feel like I'm becoming her.
Are you serious? Are you actually
asking more questions right now?!
Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo, you dick!
Just get on with it. Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss all you want.
My Red Rose, my rules. OK?
If she could really mindread, she'd
know how much of a pussy you were!
Oh, for fuck's sake, R3RO,
how much more do you need to know?
I love Candy Fly!
Will you shut up?!
Leave him be. This stuff takes time.
This isn't the Mona Lisa! Isn't it?
The Mona Lisa was a smug,
ugly bitch. Ha-ha!
Let's face it, guys, Dr Limp Dick
has been wasting our time.
He isn't going to ask her out.
He can't do shit.
You've no idea what I can do.
Ooh! Ooh!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
R3RO? He's furiously masturbating.
R3RO, are you there?
R3RO, what are you?
Giving us the silent treatment.
Yeah, because you upset him.
He needs a thicker skin, then.
Patience isn't just a virtue,
it's a necessity.
All right, Gandhi.
What? Oh, fuck!
This is her house! Oh, my God!
No fucking way!
Right, OK.
R3RO, you have master access.
Yeah. To
..everything. Camera, files.
HE SIGHS
Literally everything.
How did you get master access?
Zero day exploit. Must be.
Oh, fuck!
Jacob?
Alyssa, hi!
Whatwhat are you doing here?
Umjust some coursework.
What are you doing here?
II love this place.
II come here all the time.
Really? I've never seen you
and I'm always here.
Oh, no, I'mI'm
using thecafe bit
cos itit gets a bit dark for me.
That's why I like it. Oh.
You OK?
Yeah.
It'sit's justit's just weird
bumping into you, because
You know when you want to tell
someone something, but you don't
know how?
OK, ignore me, ignore me, ignore ME.
Um
I like you, Alyssa.
I think we share a lot in common,
and
..and I like you, a lot.
Aand
Jacob, II didn't know.
Yeah. It's been a while.
It's been since Year 10.
That long?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's when Mrs Seddon sat us
down next to each other in History.
I thought you were the most
beautiful girlI'd ever seen.
And you've just gotten
more beautiful since then.
I like you
..but not like that.
I'm sorry, Jacob, I just
I feel differently than you do.
Jacob?
Yeah, no, that's fine. That's fine.
We've got to take these chances,
haven't we?
UmI'm going to leave you to it.
She said she don't like me
like that.
Why? Why? Whatwhat is it
I did wrong?
You bombed it.
After all those questions,
and you fucking bombed it.
Told you she'd say no.
He took a risk.
More than you'd have ever done.
Why'd you pick a library?
Dr Olympic strikes again!
Why the fuck do I even talk to you?
You're fucking me off!
Premature ejaculation.
You OK, R3RO?
Yeah. Yeah.
N-No, no, I'mI'm not.
Rejection's hard.
We've all been there.
But Red Rose can help all of us.
I wasn't ready, and you all
pushed me to ask her out.
So tell me, why the fucking fuck
did I listen to you?
What matters now is that
you've made something incredible.
It's a beautiful tool.
I have ideas I can implement
for you.
Like what? Just needs a few tweaks.
If you make me admin,
I can help get you back on track.
We need to tune out the white noise
till all she sees is you.
If that doesn't work,
we'll change it.
You can try it again and again
and again and again,
until you finally have each other.
Done.
Thank you for actually being there
for me.
No worries. People like us
have to help each other.
Rest up, Red Rose is in good hands.
Give me a few weeks
and we'll start again. Mm-hm.
I wonder what it's like to have
someone actually love you back.
You know, love ME back.
I am going to try again. He thinks
I'll get her in the end, but
I don't know. But I
Alyssa.
Alyssa, areare you O?
Bet it takes ages
to heat this house.
Not with those windows,
they look double-paned.
I'm not a fan of the decorations,
though. What's wrong with them?
They're rich. Get a real tree.
I like them.
You would, American! Ha!
I think there's a ghost in the TV.
Holy shit!
Fuck! She's shitting herself!
What the fuck are you doing?
To be fair, I'd shit myself.
Watch this.
Lights on!
Like a deer in the headlights.
Electra, lights off.
Stop this now. Stop.
Electra, lights off!
Electra ain't listening, honey!
Lights off. For now.
Whooee!
What the fuck!
Mother's home, Alyssa.
Alyssa?
You're torturing her, you
..fucking psychos!
You're the one who got
master access. You made this.
Now let's see what we can do
with it.
This is Alyssa, and I don't listen
to messages. Fuck!
Please, I don't understand!
Please tell metell me what's
happening! I don't understand!
Please! Oh!
Holy shit, that was fun!
RIP, Alyssa.
I always thought she needed
a little push.
Can we play next time?
You killed her.
But she killed herself.
The only person to blame is Alyssa.
She didn't have to go along with
Red Rose, but she did.
Right, you listen to me,
I'm going to find out who you are
and I'm going to tell the police!
I'd be very careful about
threatening me again, Jacob Taylor.
They've got cameras everywhere!
Red Rose has been sharing everything
to the dark web.
First Alyssa, then Rochelle,
then Wren, and now, all of us.
Yeah, but why? I don't know.
There are some people
who've come to Bolton.
Some are watching, some are playing.
I don't know where the Gardener is.
I thought Simon was?
Simon was a victim, too.
The Red Rose site has a record
of everything, including Simon.
The Gardener was manipulating him.
He hacked into Simon's computer
and downloaded child abuse onto it.
That's why he killed himself.
It's fucking sick.
Red Rose has a load of live streams,
and there were two cameras
at the hospital following you guys.
And Wren, can you see her?
No. The feed is blank.
I don't know where she is.
It's time. Standing down.
On to the next location.
Wait. The ones in the hospital,
they're leaving.
What? Where are they going?
I don't know.
Let me see what I can find out.
As soon as I can, I'll call.
Don't let the chips
and gravy distract you.
Keep your strength up, piggy!
I'll be back in a sec.
You all right there?
Need some change?
I shouldn't be talking to you,
but I had to.
You made me think, after our chat.
What do you want?
What you said about Wren
wasinspiring.
She's been through so much.
I want to help you.
I want to be a dickhead.
Where's Wren?
Where is she?!
I'm going to ask you a question
..and I want you to answer honestly.
Has Red Rose changed the way
you see the world?
Yeah.
Le Mans Crescent.
I know where she's going!
Let's go, now!
Gordon's there tonight.
Better than Jaya!
Twats.
Wren sighted!
Oh, she looks so lonesome
without Noah, bless her.
I stan Wren and Noah.
Is this going to be
a Romeo-and-Juliet type situation?
They're going to die in each other's
arms! I can see her.
That would be so cute! She's alive.
We're almost there.
Should we all move to Bolton?
to fall?
How many stairs do you need
Where are you? Stop moving!
There's cameras ahead.
Wait! There's cameras! What?
You can't use the doors.
They're all covered.
We have to find another way.
There are tunnels running through
Bolton! What tunnels?
The tunnels that link up to
different buildings from, like,
centuries ago.
How do you know that?
I know everything about Bolton.
We'll call you when we're in.
Hopefully Noah will kill himself
if Wren dies. I can't bear it
Wren?
Dad?
I'm glad you came, Wren.
It means a lot to me.
I should just accept my fate, Wren.
What fate?
How I'm going to kill you.
You're not him!
Take a seat.
We're more alike than you think.
I killed someone.
You killed your friend.
No, I didn't! Rochelle would be
alive if it weren't for you.
Daddy's little girl, ain't you?
Oh, fuck off!
No, I'm going to hurt you
and you're going to hurt me.
"Psycho dad kills psycho daughter",
that's what they'll all say.
You know no-one will believe it!
Don't matter what happens in here.
Out there
I control what people think.
You're a fuck-up.
You're just like your dad.
What an embarrassment!
You ruined Vinny's life.
You are disgusting!
You fucked it. You fucked it
for you, you fucked it for us,
cos that's what you are.
What a bitch!
Wren, listen to me!
Wren, listen!
Wren, listen to me!
Wren, listen to me!
You have such good instincts.
You were right from the start.
Holy shit!
She's going to crack.
Roch!
Oh
Ohhh
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck, fuck!
Fuck off! Fuck off!
I'm sorry!
Look, I'm so, so sorry!
Go to the garden, Wren.
Noah! Noah, are you in?
Come on.
Be careful.
We're running south-north, I think.
Then we should be
under the main road right now.
Which means?
We're nearly there.
Lucky, lucky, I got hooky!
The sneaky piglet! Teasing us!
Well, fucking do something, then!
I'm sick of nothing happening!
Fuck.
Pick up the lame one first.
Pick up the gay one first!
Ashley. Ashley!
Why the fuck was Roch
wearing a nightie?
Cos she was about to go to sleep!
LAUGHS
Fucking answer!
Where are these dickheads?
Show us the dickheads!
You can't handle the dickheads!
There's still time
to grab a Coke from the lobby.
We're inI think.
Run. Sorry?
They're following you. Run!
They're here. We're being followed.
Run! Run, run!
Run! Fuck! Fuck!
Oh, my God!
Run! Run!
Hurry up, you two!
Run! Fuck!
Oh, my God.
Fuck! Fuck!
Behind you! Fuck!
What am I watching?! Just kick down
the fucking door, you idiot!
How are they fucking this up?!
Man, I'd have killed them all
by now. I demand a refund.
What's happened?
Maybe it's a trick.
Why have they stopped?
Don't open the door
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
What's going on?
He's running.
What?! Where the fuck are you going?
First the red finds the blue.
This find was shit!
I can't even rhyme, I'm so pissed.
What's happened?
Jaya's sorted it.
Let's barricade the doors.
Take this. We're going to make sure
no-one falls. Jaya
Guys? Wren was right.
Rochelle was murdered.
And Wren's not backing down. Hurry!
Oh, my God!
Dad? Dad!
Stop, stop, stop!
Wren, leave. Get out.
Hiya, Wren.
Can we have a little quiet?
Show some respect?
Yes, sir.
It's nice to finally meet you.
I don't know who you are.
In a way, you do.
We've been talking for months.
The Gardener.
How did you find out that name?
What's in a name, eh?
Wren, listen to me.
Stop talking to him.
Just leave now. Wren, he's crazy.
Get out, Wren.
Why are you doing this?
Why?
I think you're great. We all do.
Don't we?
Wren! Wren! Wren! Wren!
Shut the fuck up!
Will you sign my shirt?
Where is she? Can you see her?
She's with the Gardener.
Shit!
Thumbs up or thumbs down?
Wren!
Wren, get out now!
Rick's fit!
I wish I had him all tied up!
Do one, do one, do one!
Oh, let's target her next.
God, this is so tense.
Jaya, can Red Rose be deleted?
Yeah, I can delete it. But if
I do that, there'll be no evidence.
These psychos will just walk free,
and that'll be it.
I don't care. Fuck him up.
Get rid of his audience.
He'd better not fuck the show up.
Get out now!
Stop talking to him and get out now!
I'm going to fucking kill you!
Get the king-size tissues ready!
I can't handle this. Seriously.
There she is.
Wren, leave. Leave now, Wren.
Go! Just run.
I can take care of myself, Wren.
I can take care of myself.
Just leave. If I know Wren
like I think I know Wren,
she's not going anywhere.
I'll fucking kill him myself, Wren.
Just leave now.
Do not worry about me. All right?
I fucking hate stand-offs in films.
Come on, Wren. As Roch always says,
crazy always wins.
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Go, Wren, go!
Wren!
No Wren, no, don't.
Jaya's on her way.
Taz? Wren? Taz!
She's OK.
What about Rick? The Gardener?
Dad, I had to. I had to.
I get it.
Give it to me.
This isn't you. Now go.
OK.
Are you OK? Oh, my God, come on.
You're fine.
Right, right, let's go
You're OK, yeah? You're safe.
Jaya?
Who are you?
Who do you think I am?
Are you one of them?
There's nothing you can prove!
Why did you help us?
Why not?
It worked. The Gardener's dead.
Is she?
You're You're the Gardener?
Dead teenagers is one thing.
But when I saw Wren's potential,
I thought it would be fun
to see how far she could go.
"Go"?
Would she kill?
Wren wouldn't do that.
Wouldn't she?
I deleted Red Rose. It's gone.
You can't delete an idea, Jaya.
Is it over?
