The Head (2020) s02e03 Episode Script

You're not taking me with you, are you?
Not again, Charlie,
I've told you a thousand times.
The cabins are tiny.
You would really hate it.
No, because
I'd have Blanda with me.
Look, I'll be back
in three months.
So you keep to yourself,
stay out of trouble,
and behave yourself.
Miss Rosa will look after you.
Ok, I'll keep to myself.
- You keep to yourself.
- I'll keep to myself, ok.
But when you take me,
I can touch the horn, right?
- Touch the horn?
- Say I can.
- It's sound the horn, Charlie.
- Yes, yes, sound.
That's not up to me,
it's up to the Captain.
Sound, the Captain.
- He has to give you permission.
- Yes.
Will you ask him?
- I promise I will.
- So you're going to take me.
- One day.
- Ok.
- One day, bro.
- Ok.
Have a good trip.
Thank you, Charlie.
Come on. Let's go.
Okay, okay, Blanda.
We're going home now.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Hey, hey, hey! What's that?
Is there a rat in your pocket?
Look at me!
I want you to go outside right now
and leave that in the fucking street.
Fucking retard.
Come on, hurry up!
You should be locked up!
Locked up in a cage!
Come on, hurry, go.
What the hell are
you doing here?
Why aren't you at work?
- What's happened?
- I haven't done anything.
What's happened? What's wrong?
He started it.
- He started it.
- What did he start?
What's happened, Charlie?
I have a pet.
I have a pet.
Her name is
is Blanda.
It's a rat.
She's my
my best friend.
So I don't want to call him
"disabled",
I want to call him
He's lucky enough to have been
able not to grow to become an adult
and turn into the
shit we all are.
So what do you think?
About what?
About the horn
Do you think the Captain will
let me if I ask him nicely?
I don't know, Charlie.
Maybe another time.
When? When?
Eat everything up.
It's never the right time.
Yes, Captain You called
Sit down.
We have bad news.
We have a DNA match.
- It's conclusive.
- Fuck your DNA, man.
It's Charlie.
He didn't do it, Captain.
How can you be so sure?
Because he's my brother!
Tell us something we don't know.
No! No, no.
Captain, please.
You have to believe me,
he is being framed.
We're not judging
him here, Oscar.
He will be able to defend
himself when the time comes.
Just like Marcus, right?
The Chilean police will
handle the investigation
Until then, we need to lock him up.
I'm sorry, Oscar.
We can't risk it.
We just wanted to let you know.
Charlie!
Charlie!
- What's going on?
- Charlie.
- You drugged his food?
- Don't look at me.
Hey.
Hey, it's all right.
It's all right.
I'm here.
I'm here.
It's all right.
How are you feeling?
I am
A little dizzy.
You just need to rest.
Be careful.
How close was it?
Your pulse was gone.
But Alec brought you back.
You're going to be all right.
Hey.
Hey.
- Hi.
- How you doing?
- Yeah.
- You all right?
Better.
- Did you tell her?
- No.
We found a DNA match.
So what do you want?
My brother is innocent.
I promise you.
One of you Einsteins must have manipulated
the DNA test in order to frame him.
- Why destroy the equipment then?
- How the fuck should I know?
Maybe because it looks like
something Charlie would do.
So who could it be?
I don't know.
You gotta do better
than that, Amy.
The other day, when you made that
phone call from the sat-phone,
you said you were calling home.
I checked the number.
Qatar?
- I have nothing to do with the murders.
- Well, neither does my brother.
You better find me something I
can use to get him off the hook,
otherwise I'm gonna
have to go talk to Alec.
- Oscar
- Listen to me. You have until sunset.
I'll meet you right here.
Fine
My name is Margaret
Emilia Mitchell.
You were a member of the
Polaris VI crew, weren't you?
Yes. I was the doctor appointed to
be at the base for the winter.
Have a look.
Can you crack it?
Yeah, I can try.
The sooner the better.
No news from Icegirl?
Nope.
Keep me posted.
Aye, aye, sir.
He was compulsive.
He told me he had over
600 of those back home.
This one was completed over a week ago.
The rest are all prior.
But where was the
last one he was using?
Why?
Because it's missing,
that's why.
Hey.
Can you keep a secret?
Remember the Polaris case?
Maggie Mitchell?
Yeah, of course.
Her real name is Olivia Jackson,
daughter of Sarah Jackson,
who died in Polaris V.
What?
See.
Are you serious?
Wait
Who's that?
That's Sylvia.
Maggie's sister.
Thank you, Syl.
Do you remember the
last time we were here?
We were with Mom, you must've
been about, I dunno, five?
And you went mental because
I broke your CD player.
Yeah, I wanted to kill you.
Here.
Look at this.
Lou Kowalski.
It's from his Instagram.
Who's that?
Rachel Russo.
Arthur's daughter.
Yeah.
She's an amazing
marine biologist too.
Trinity College.
I tried to get in touch
with her at her lab but
guess what.
She left nine weeks ago.
Exactly.
She must be a part
of Arthur's team.
I just don't understand
why we can't trace them.
I have her last known address.
Sandyford
it's only a couple of
hours away from here.
Ok.
It's ok.
I don't want to
I'm here. I've got you.
Look at me, hi.
Hi.
Ok?
Syl.
Sylvia.
Syl!
Is it worth it?
Was any of it?
You don't understand.
I don't.
Killing Arthur will
not bring her back.
Or your mother.
That's why I didn't kill him.
I wanted him to suffer.
That isn't working either,
is it?
I'm not done yet.
I will find Arthur
and his daughter.
And then what?
Ok, I get it.
But even if Maggie Mitchell
killed everyone in Antarctica,
she's not on this ship, is she?
Yeah, but it must all be related,
don't you think?
I'm not so sure.
Usually, the best explanation
is the simpliest one.
There's nothing simple here.
There is.
Do you realize just how
much our research is worth?
Someone's trying to steal it?
OK. Here we go.
Let's hope Kowalski didn't
choose a long password.
Trial an error? Really?
Yeah. We got some muscle here.
But yeah. Fingers crossed.
Hello.
Hello. Hello!
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there?
Hello?
Hello.
Oscar!
Oscar, come here!
Come here, Oscar!
Oscar, Oscar!
Oscar!
Oscar!
Come here!
Where are you?
Oscar!
Come here, Oscar!
Oscar!
Where are you?
- Oscar, where are you?
- Here! Here, Charlie!
Charlie, I'm here. It's ok.
Oscar
Open the door.
I want to come out.
I can't, Charlie.
They won't let me.
So you have to be
very calm and wait.
- Ok?
- No
No
I don't want to wait.
- I want to come out.
- I know, bro, I know.
But it's not that easy.
Yes! It is that easy!
Open the door and I come out.
And that's it.
Where's Blanda?
I don't know, but I'm going to
find her and bring her to you.
But you have to promise
me you'll be much calmer.
- I haven't
- Ok?
I haven't done anything.
Why have you locked me up?
I haven't done anything.
I know you haven't, bro.
I know, that's why
everything will be ok.
I swear, ok?
No!
No! Get me out of here!
Get me out of here, Oscar!
Oscar!
Oscar, come here!
Please, Oscar!
Get me out!
I want to come out!
Oscar, Oscar!
Oscar! Get me out!
Get me out!
Oscar!
What is it?
Why would Charlie
want to kill me?
Or Kowalski?
And not to mention cutting off his head.
It just doesn't add up.
Who said he's on his own?
What if someone is using him?
Only three days to go.
He'll be fine.
Yeah. Will we?
Trust me.
I might.
Thank you for saving my life.
It's all right.
What?
It was scary.
It's not the first
time I tried CPR.
Didn't work then.
Afghanistan?
Yeah.
You know how it feels to take
another man's life, don't you?
I do.
Ok.
Well, now you know how it
feels to give one back.
It's over.
We lost some during
the blackout.
How much?
12%.
Just 98 minutes.
Darkness kills it.
That's what darkness does.
But that's not what's
bothering you, is it?
All these containers
we're carrying
Are you sure they're empty?
As far as I know, yes.
Oscar
What about him?
I saw him sneak out
of the cargo bay.
And then, when he realized
that I'd seen him,
he told me that I shouldn't
wander around the ship.
And it sounded like a threat.
I think he's hiding something.
My biggest success in life is that
I've been able to do what I do,
to be free doing it,
to make a buck or two
and to be a father for Charlie,
like our father was not for us.
I don't like fear.
And when I
When I feel that,
my brother is with me.
And he always helps me.
See? They're all empty.
Check them all.
Every single bloody one.
We'll do.
What are we looking for?
Are you 100% sure
- you saw Oscar come this way?
- Yes.
The man rolls his cigarettes,
doesn't he?
This one.
Bastard.
- What the fuck is this?
- I've never seen one before.
Fucking bastards
What is it?
It's a portable PBR, like
but battery operated,
designed to transport
living algae samples.
Motherfucking bastards!
Someone is trying to
steal my research!
And someone has smuggled
this onto the ship!
On your fucking watch!
I understand
Do you?!
Maybe if you'd spent less time
fucking around on my daughter,
you'd have kept your
eye on the ball.
Blanda?
Blanda!
We found a second PBR in one
of the containers on main deck.
How did that get on my ship?
I don't know. But Oscar is
Chief Engineer, he's got
nothing to do with the cargo.
And who's in charge of that?
I am. And I had no idea.
We're losing power.
Oscar! Come on,
Oscar! Pick it up!
We've lost the main engine, sir,
the emergency generator
will be on straight away.
Oscar!
Oscar!
Yes.
What the fuck is going on?
The engine is down, sir.
I know it is! Why?
I've stopped it, that's why.
Hello?
Charlie?
They let you out?
Get it back on, now!
With all due respect, sir,
I'm not gonna do such a thing
until you release my brother.
We found what you hid in
one of the containers,
you piece of scum!
Who are you working for?
What?
You got your brother to
kill Kowalski, didn't you?
I did not!
And listen to me,
you crazy bastard,
me and my brother had nothing
to do with it, all right?
- Charlie is out.
- What?
He's out.
He's out, he's escaped
from his room.
Stay here, ok?
What was that?
Nothing.
Be careful.
Yeah.
Hey. What's going on?
That Charlie has gone berserk
What?
- Why has the ship stopped?
- It's fine, Alec's sorting it.
- What happened?
- Charlie's out, he escaped somehow.
- You saw him?
- Yeah. He didn't even recognize me.
It's like he snapped
or something.
You all right?
Yeah.
What's going on?
Oscar stopped the engine
and Charlie's escaped.
Are we adrift?
And a storm is coming.
Look what you've done!
Are you happy now?
Where's Renaud?
Looking for Charlie.
We are on level 2.
We are stucked in this level.
We? Who's we?
Captain, what are you doing?
I'm getting Charlie.
Oscar is with me.
The fucking saboteur?
I know exactly where he is
and I'm gonna try to convince
him to turn himself in, ok?
Oscar will get the engine back on
when Charlie is under control.
Like hell he will!
Listen to me, pal.
My brother can fucking lose it
when he feels threatened
or scared and trust me,
you don't wanna see
him like that. Ok?
At this point I'm the only one
who can talk to him, get it?
Renaud, listen to me.
Come back to the bridge.
It's our only chance.
Trust me on this one.
Renaud!
Renaud!
Renaud!
Thank you, Captain.
Charlie! You have to come out!
I can't fucking believe this!
The light in the
PBR is not working.
What does that mean?
My algae are dying!
Ergo, we lose everything.
That's what it means!
The emergency generator
is not wired for that.
Well, fix it!
That would be Oscar's job.
Or Charlie's.
Charlie!
Charlie!
Blanda
That's a trail.
Charlie.
Come on, bro. Don't make
this more difficult.
Charlie, you need to come with us.
Take the starboard.
Char!
No
What have you done, son?
Charlie!
My biggest fear?
That I die leaving
Charlie by himself.
