Bedlam (2011) s02e02 Episode Script

Pool of Tears

1 What if I really am seeing people who've died? You were experimenting.
You made them disappear.
Bedlam Heights failed because you freaked out the customers! They look confused and lost out there, but in here it's different.
Hate and anger I've never seen that before! It's ghosts.
You see ghosts, don't you? We could stop, but would you really feel good about yourself? All right.
See you later, then.
Good girl.
Wait! Who are you? Call Your Girlfriend Thank you.
Ok.
This is gonna sound really strange, but I think you once came to my school.
It's not strange! I went to lots of schools.
I was in the Commonwealth Games.
Dominic McConnell.
I was a swimmer.
I did talks for kids.
Right! I'm Kiera.
Two girls in my class developed an unseemly thing for you.
Sim? Who was the other one? Wow.
You're a comedy swimmer.
Retired.
Cass here, she's the real star.
I did this sports psychology module and I wrote an essay on women and exercise addiction.
Is it a real syndrome or? I just like winning.
That's definitely a real syndrome.
Why don't I get you both a drink? Not for me, thanks.
Cass? Erm, just orange juice for me, please.
I'll carry on with the unpacking.
See you soon.
Ok.
Nice to meet you! Right! Vodca in it, then? Single or double? I better not.
Relax! Vodca never showed up in a drugs test.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, sim, please.
Are you Ok? Fine.
Because the impact of what happened sometimes doesn't hit till days later.
All I'm saying is, talk about this stuff all you want to or don't talk about it.
Sounds good.
Now hurry up and make my drink and let's pretend I'm normal.
Come on, let's get another drink.
No, no, no! You can't stop serving! We're on a roll here.
Gosh.
Sorry! What was I thinking? She gets up at 5ªm to train! Sim? I think tomorrow, maybe not.
I've got a brilliant way to clear your head! Kiera, you're mad! Dive-bomb! Come on, Max, don't be a wuss.
It's freezing! What are you doing? In you come! Did you see his face? Oh, my God.
Where did he go? It's called karma! We need to get out of the pool! Ellie? Get out of the pool! What's the problem here? We've been drinking.
It's not safe to be in the pool.
Paramedics and fun really don't mix! Ei, Cass, we'll walk you back! Sorry, er, she lost her key.
It's here somewhere.
This'll set you up for tomorrow.
Mm! What have we here, Dominic? Have you been reliving your glory days? (GIGGLES) Look, I better be getting to bed.
Really? So soon? Wow.
Sarcasm! Guys, I think it's really sweet that you two found each other.
You're like those couples that dress alike, like it's the '50s! It was nice to meet you, Cass.
Kiera Glad I took the time to do your diet sheets.
It was one night! And you had to do it four days before a competition.
Well played.
God, he's fit, but talk about control freak! Sim, he didn't exactly make us feel welcome.
Sim.
Can't really blame her for trying to top herself.
You saw her arms, right? The scars? You shouldn't really make assumptions like that.
People should sort out their own problems.
FOSTER THE PEOPLE: Colour On The Walls (Don't Stop) Walk little, walk small Talk big thoughts Gonna tell them all Just what I want Morning! Oh! Sorry! Can I help you? Sorry, am I dripping on your carpet? I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I like what you've done with your room.
It looks like someone actually lives here.
Mine looks a place someone died.
How do you do it? Try growing up in care.
You learn to make a home wherever you are.
I'd have been better off there.
You don't mean that.
You've never met my family.
It'd be nice to have a family.
Ei! By the way, skinny-dipping should involve clothes coming off.
Were we shy? CCTV, mate.
Busted! Last night, hein? Sim, crazy! You saw something, didn't you? Possibly.
That why you freaked out? I did not freak out! You practically dragged us out of the water.
Ei, it's ok.
I think there's something in the pool.
As in revenant? Maybe.
Do you think we disturbed something? I don't know, but I don't like it! Do you want me to go down there with you? What was it? Tell me what you saw.
I don't wanna talk about it.
You really didn't have to come.
I know.
I can't resist a nose through other people's things.
Is that awful? You know, she could come back.
I don't think there's any chance of that.
But she's your daughter.
She's been angry with me since Jed died.
In some ways, it's a relief to get it out in the open.
Well, I guess you won't mind me having this, then? It's nice, actually! Have it.
Sim, but, me, in your daughter's clothes How is that for you? Hm? Stop it.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
There's something you need to see.
I'll take care of this lot.
I got a call.
Stephen Thirsk.
Got his contracts ready, sim? He pulled out.
Decided it wasn't his sort of place after all.
What? Why? Someone's been having fun.
One click and you're through to the ghost-hunting blog.
Oh, for! I told you to deal with that! I am! It's as good as sorted.
Look at these pictures.
Posted 1.
33 this morning.
So, where's he getting them from? Well, it's obvious.
He must live in the building.
So, what's your plan? Sit and wait for him to slip up and reveal his identity? He's slipped up already.
He thinks he's cleverer than I am.
Not funny.
They're gonna get themselves sued.
I've reported it.
I'm fine.
You're better off in a full-size pool.
I'll run you in.
No.
I always run into your old teammates there.
(SIGHS) Better to nearly drown.
I'm ok! I think I just need to ease off a bit.
I feel like I'm over-training.
I make sure you don't.
Then, I need more breaks! If you ease of now, where's that gonna leave you next week? You're not missing it! You might as well rule yourself out the nationals.
Ok.
I wont let you sabotage yourself because you had a weak moment.
Eve? What? I don't have to tell you everything that's going on in my life, ok? Ok.
Ellie? I-I'm all right.
Try to remember key images and we'll break it down later.
Was it the pool? The same people? No.
Different people? No, no, no, no! I don't wanna do this! Ellie, think of the police.
People forget detail.
If only! This is about what I walked in on.
You don't understand how hard it is.
The only reason I'm here is to find out what's happening to me.
I understand completely.
Max, if you had a tail, it would be wagging like mad.
I'm helping you.
Well, it's too much! I'm sorry.
I'm fine on my own.
What do you want from me? Hello? Are you Ok? Sim, sim, I'm fine.
Start in the machine room, sim? Pool's closed.
Someone got their hair caught in the drain.
Who? A girl called Cass.
Do you know her? Sim, kind of.
It'll be open again soon.
Maybe you'll bring a towel next time.
Max, Cass got her hair caught in a drain.
A swimmer as strong as her it doesn't make sense! Max, what do I do? I don't wanna butt in on anything.
Stop messing around.
She's in danger.
Are you asking for my help? Yes, Max, I'm asking for your help.
Please.
Ok.
What do we know beyond doubt? Activity can be stirred up by interfering with remains.
Cass hasn't touched any.
Just by being in a certain place All the visions happened around the pool.
A girl was being torturede.
Well, there you go.
She's connecting to Cass and for some reason, the revenant does not want her there.
So it's protecting its territory or something? Maybe.
Why, though? I don't know.
First thing we need to do is warn Cass, make sure she stays away from that pool.
Come on, then.
I don't know if this is a good ideia, both of us going in.
It might seem a bit weird.
And we'd hate for any of this to seem weird! Oh, Max! Ok.
Just don't seem so nervous.
I'm about to go and tell a sane, rational girl she's the victim of a haunting.
What's not to be nervous about? You can do this, all right? Give me a break! I'm not talking about the Ellie that has visions.
I'm talking about the Ellie that's just you.
You're good with people.
Ok, enough! And obviously a good listener.
To summarise, just be yourself.
Which one? Clear off.
It looked like you had a fit or something.
No, I-I'm fine.
Ok.
So, how can I help? Well, erm, the thing is, it's, erm, it's a bit awkward, but, erm, well, I'm here cos I'm doing this charity thing.
It's a triathlon, but, erm, well, I need some tips on how to train.
Ok.
Fancy bumping into him on a dark night? Where did you get these? Top floor.
There's tons of the stuff rotting up there.
Some of the guys who ran the place, sim? Was that your dad? Yes.
What was he like? What are you doing with them? I'll email the blogger and pretend I'm another ghost freak, only I've got things he hasn't.
This is creepy.
He'll lap it up.
Once he's hooked, I'll reel him in.
Fine.
Whatever it takes.
Look, it's been a long week.
I've got everything covered here.
Why don't you call it a day? Have some rest.
Sim.
I'll do that.
I can't remember a time when I wasn't training.
My dad kind of bullied me into it.
I moved in with Dominic as soon as I was old enough.
Didn't that put you off? No, I loved it.
Once I started winning, there was nothing like it.
I didn't care that I had to be in at 9.
30 and I had no friends.
I'd have done it ten times over.
Well, it worked.
Sim, for a while.
You won't find many from the last two years up there.
We had a car crash.
Dom had won gold in some gala.
I was driving home on the motorway, driving way too fast.
We spun and hit a tree.
Dom broke his shoulder.
But he's all right now, though? He never got his edge back.
He had his sights set on the Olympics, and suddenly he couldn't win local competitions.
That must've been tough on both of you.
Sim.
But he never blamed me.
He said I saved him, in a way.
What do you mean? I became his protege.
Now he puts all his efforts into me.
I've come full circle, really.
First Dad, now Dominic! Cass, you need to stay away from that pool.
Why? Because of what happened with the pool drain? That's all been sorted I just have a really strong feeling that it's not a safe place for you.
Why? I don't know for sure, but .
.
I think there's something down there that wants to harm you.
I'm sorry, you've lost me.
A ghost.
You're kidding, right? Please don't dismiss what I'm saying just cos you think it's weird.
Listen to yourself! A ghost? It's not safe! I had you down as one of the grownups! I'm only telling you what I know to be true! You do realise you sound completely insane? At your boss's desk? Is Warren about? Why? Wouldn't you like to know? Not massively, no.
You're working late.
You must be very keen to impress.
You're the expert there.
I'd say if you've settled in for the night, your social life has sadly declined! Thanks for your concern.
If I get desperate, I've got your number.
Sim.
Ok Erm, tell your boss I'm looking for him, all right? So I'm guessing you lost her at the "G" word.
She thinks I'm a complete fruitloop.
You told her everything, the visions? I couldn't tell her what I'd just seen.
It's ok.
No, it's not! It was so real! It was like it was happening in front of me and there was nothing I could do.
Ei It was in the pool, like the others, and she was floating there, dead.
And you didn't get a chance to warn Cass? She wasn't listening.
What was I supposed to do? Max? -Is she there? -Max! She's not breathing! It's ok.
You've inhaled some water, but you're gonna be ok.
What? I think you must've passed out in the pool, but you're fine, ok? Did you see anything before you passed out? No.
Anything? Max! It's all right.
You're safe now.
Have you got any ideia what happened? I think it's your fault, freaking me out with all your ghost stories.
How did you even know I was in trouble? Just a bad feeling.
I think I saw something before I passed out.
Did you? I must be cracking up! Maybe you should put the training aside and focus on yourself for a while.
Why do you say that? The way you were talking earlier, it didn't sound like you had much free time.
Maybe you should talk to Dominic That'll go down well! If he loves you, he'll understand.
Do you want me to come with you? I don't want my life to be like this.
I can't do it any more.
Just make sure you stay out of that pool, ok? Get some rest.
Sim.
Sim, I will.
I should've rung.
No.
No, it's fine.
It's quite obviously not fine.
If it's what happened this morning, I know I push my luck sometimes.
It's not that.
Honestly.
I'm really glad you're here.
I'll go.
No.
You wouldn't be saying any of this if it wasn't for her.
Well, that's why I'm here.
Two years, for nothing.
But that's exactly how I feel! I'm really sorry, but I can't pretend any more.
That's it, ok? I'm done with swimming.
You've got no photos in here.
Nothing that really says anything about you.
Why do I feel like you're trying to analyse me? Because I am.
I've always quite fancied you.
That's a bit wrong, isn't it? Do you want me to agree? You're supposed to be keeping an eye on me for my folks.
This is my way of getting back at them.
Then again, you're not my first authority figure.
Oh? When I was in sixth form, a teacher at school.
All the kids knew.
I didn't care.
I quite liked it, actually.
Is this just the same, sticking it to your parents? Honestly? Mm.
I don't know.
It doesn't feel like it is.
Do you think this could ever go anywhere? I'm probably not easy to be close to.
Don't say that.
Why? I like a challenge.
It'll only encourage me.
Well, congratulations! You did it all by yourself, which is, of course, as you wanted it.
How about you let it go? Just as well I didn't go.
I would've landed one on that smug, controlling dickhead! Max, he'd have decked you! Well, there is that, of course.
Cheers.
Max, I need to show you something.
I need you not to think it's weird and if you do, I need you not to freak out.
All right.
The not-freaking-out part is really important.
How about you just show me? I've had it for as long as I can remember.
Ok.
I keep seeing it in the visions.
What does it mean? Max, will you say something, please? I've seen this in the building.
It must mean you're connected to it in some way.
How? Can I, er? I'm sorry.
It's ok.
This isn't about you and me, Dom, this is about the training! Just everything we built our lives on.
It isn't everything! So what, you love me, do you? Cos I'm really feeling it.
Of course I love you.
Of course! You destroyed my life once and now you're doing it again.
You don't mean that.
You're just saying it to hurt me.
Well, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you? Dom What do you want me to say? It wasn't your fault? That I don't resent you for it? Well, it was.
You did this to me.
If you felt like that, you'd have said it at the time.
You never gave me chance.
You beat me to it with your little cry for help! That's not what it was and you know it! What was it? Just another thing you don't have the guts to follow through with.
The story of your life.
How can you say that? Just get out.
I can't even look at you.
Max, she killed herself! The ghost cut her wrists and she's gonna do the same to Cass! What's it gonna do to her? Cass What have we done? We let that happen.
That was not our fault.
We thought she was safe.
We're learning.
But we could've saved her! Max, what we're dealing with is dangerous.
Jed died and now Cass.
Who's next? This is my life that you're putting on the internet for any weirdo to read! There's something not right in my head.
The ghost thinks she's disrespecting the institution of marriage.
Max, we can't have another Cass.
We have to stop this wedding.
Have you got your eye on someone? What if she says no? -I just feel a bit lonely.
-I know that feeling.
