Primeval s03e04 Episode Script

You're certain it was in the ARC? We intercepted calls.
The ARC staff were saying Helen Cutter had it.
So what's happened to it? We don't know.
- It might have been destroyed in the fire.
- It might not.
My whole future could depend on this.
If it's there, I want it back, understand? Ma'am.
Ready to begin? It's amazing.
Once we understand them, we'll know how to control them.
Get out of there.
Run! Go, go, go! - Does it know I'm here? - Yes, it can sense your heartbeat.
We have to learn how to harness that power.
- Deal with it.
- It means temporary suspension of the cloaking device.
- The ARC will know - I'll deal with them later.
(Cutter's Voice) It's on you now.
(Cutter's Voice) This matters.
(Cutter's Voice) I don't know why.
(Cutter's Voice) But it does.
(Cutter's Voice) It's on you now.
' (Sarah) Connor Hey.
Let me help you.
I'm an archaeologist, I know how to deal with things like this.
I can clean it up and see what lies beneath the dirt.
Listen to me, nobody can find out about what we're doing here.
- Absolutely.
- Not until we know what we're dealing with.
Go.
You're in charge, until we can make a permanent appointment.
Are you sure you want me to take over? (Lester) If I wasn't, I wouldn't ask.
(Lester) Don't expect a pay rise.
I could probably swing you a parking space.
(Lester) Keep things calm, controlled, and if you can manage it, slightly dull.
- Is it working? - No, not yet.
But it will be.
- (Cunner) Excuse me.
- You need to get some rest.
What I need to do is finish this and then Then I need to fix the detector.
This is the Anomaly Locking Mechanism.
If I can If I can get this to work Abby, we can seal anomalies.
If we don't know where they are in the first place, then it won't be much use, will it? Fine.
(Jenny) You're driving them too hard.
Right now, work is the best thing for us.
Any luck? It's too soon to say.
Once it's clean, we should have a better idea.
Any chance of putting this back together? Wouldn't know where to start.
Give me a few years, I might be able to work some of it out.
Cutter kept a lot of things to himself.
Tell me about it.
Hey Jenny, if you ever need to talk about anything There's nothing to say.
(Anomaly Alarm Sounds) - (Jenny) Is this a test? - No, this is genuine.
- Do we have a location? - Ah-ha.
(Connor) I'm getting the co-ordinates now.
OK.
It's a go.
OK, let's go then.
Jenny - It's it's nearly ready.
- Next time.
Let's move.
Ma'am The cloaking device is going back on now.
The ARC will have picked up the signal.
Get your men ready.
(Localizer beeps) In there.
(Jenny) Hello? It's deserted.
It could be in there somewhere.
There must be another way in.
(Captain Becker) Wait, Jenny.
- Captain Wilder? - Becker.
You two know each other? Sandhurst.
Top of his class, one of my best cadets.
If you two are going to hug, can you do it later, - 'cos there's an anomaly in here.
- Move back into the foyer.
What's going on here? (Alarm sounds) You must be Jenny Lewis.
I'm Christine Johnson.
Nice to meet you.
- (Jenny) What is this place? - Jenny This definitely detected an anomaly less than 100 feet away from here.
I know that might not mean anything to you, but trust me, not a good thing.
There's really nothing to worry about.
There's no anomaly here.
What do you know about the anomalies? Let's just have a look, you know, just to be sure.
I can assure you you'd find nothing.
Right.
I want unrestricted access to the whole place and an explanation of why you're here.
I'm afraid that's not possible.
I can make it happen with one phone call, so let's save time, shall we? James Lester has no authority here.
Now I suggest you go back to the ARC - and do what it is you all do best.
- (Abby) Did you hear what we just said? You could be in danger, just let us go in and have a look.
That's very thoughtful, but we'll be quite safe.
Do give my regards to James.
Captain Becker, isn't it? I gather you and Captain Wilder are old colleagues.
- Yes, Ma'am.
- (Christine) Perhaps you'll have the chance to work together again some day.
(Car Alarm Sounds) Oh God! The car Damn it! She seemed to know all about us and the anomalies.
That's not news to you, is it? Are you sure the detector was working? We got the same reading from the handheld.
But you can't be certain? Well no, but if it wasn't an anomaly, what was it? Did you know this place existed? - No.
- Right.
Then we need to find out what they're doing there.
Yes! Thank you for that statement of the blindingly obvious! Right, yeah, leave it with me.
Go on, thank you.
(Cellphone rings) Abby's phone, hello? Is Abby there? No, she's, she's not at the minute, can I take a message? Tell her I'm going to show her a proper good time.
Excuse me? I'm back and we're going out on the town tonight.
Who is this? Jack.
Jack who? Got to go, mate.
Hello? - What is it? - Some kind of detector.
- For what? - No idea.
Oh, incisive! Well, I'm sure it's something to do with the creatures.
- Mick, you realise you're sounding a little mad? - I know.
- I don't employ mad people.
- What are you talking about? Half your journalists are insane.
Yeah, but they don't bring stories about dinosaurs.
(Localizer beeps) It's beeping, what does that mean? I think it means we're on our way.
Get me a camera crew ready in two minutes.
(Anomaly Alarm sounds) - (Jenny) Is it the same place? No.
No, this is a new one.
OK, let's get going then.
Where's Abby? She said she had to meet someone.
- Who? - I don't know, Jack somebody.
We'll call her on the way.
Jenny, give me two minutes.
Two minutes, I can have this thing up and running.
Please.
- Two minutes.
- Yes! - What is it? - I don't know.
But I think we're going to find out.
(Jenny) Connor, how much longer? Seconds away.
Done.
You can load it up.
This is actually going to work? It'll work.
I know this is going to work, it's I hope it's going to work.
It's OK, just asking.
(Jenny) Becker, we'll see you there.
OK, so what do you want me to do? Depends on what happens.
Who do I speak to about my expenses? (Unknown creature roars beyond anomaly) What was that? (Creature roars again) Where to now? Straight ahead, about half a mile.
- Did she say anything else? - Who? Abby.
About this Jack guy and who he was exactly? No she didn't.
I thought you were calling her? (Connor) I tried calling her, but - What the hell do you think you're playing at?! - You alright? - Please, you've got to come quickly.
- What is it? There's this thing, a big shining light.
- This creature came through and it started - Stay there.
How much tranquilliser do you think we need? This thing, how big was it? - Big.
- Your call.
It's in there.
Better hurry, it's really frightening.
- I told you to stay away from this.
- I know.
I wish I'd listened to you.
Stay there.
- You OK? - I'm fine.
- I'll go first.
- No, me.
How about we both go together? - OK.
- On three? OK.
One Two Three.
(Someone screams) No! No no no no no - (Connor) Open the door! - (Jenny) What do you think you're doing?! (Michael from a distance) Thanks for the scoop, Jenny! Damn it! Great! - Has it done anything else yet? - No.
- This better be good.
- Well, what about that thing? You promised me a prehistoric creature.
Now anything less then a mammoth, you're fired.
(Creature roars) (Creature roars again) (Connor) No.
- No back door.
- Oh God! I can't believe I let myself get taken in - by that reptile of a journalist! - He's pretty good though.
You know, as reptile journalists go, he had me.
Becker, how far away are you? (Jenny) Well look, I don't care how many barriers you go through I need you here faster than fast.
They're stuck in road works.
- What are you doing? - Door's solid.
We're not getting through there.
(Man) This is unbelievable.
Hello there.
Isn't this extraordinary? Look at this.
What is it? Tell us what it is.
It's a Velociraptor.
A young one, from the late cretaceous.
This little fellow is about 80 million years old and when it's full grown, these are top predators.
It's a little nervous.
Do you know, if I could pat a dinosaur (Man) Hello there.
Come on little fellow, come on.
Wow! That was unbelievable! (Man) Somebody pinch me.
Huh! (Screams and roars sound from a distance) Keep on filming! Don't you dare run away! (Cameraman screams) - Danny Quinn? - Oh, you don't want to do that.
You need all the help you can get.
- It's over there.
- What are you doing here? - Saving your bacon.
- How did you even know where we were? I followed the journalist.
You know he broke into your car? I gathered that.
- Thanks for the help but just go now.
- But it's just getting interesting.
If you don't go now, I'll have you arrested.
Guys, as fun as this is, we've got more pressing matters.
- Give me the gun.
I'll go in first.
- One more step and I will shoot you.
All right.
Absolutely.
That is - It's enormous, isn't it? - Whew! You're not going, are you? (Michael) Help, you've got to get me out of here, please! - (Michael) Help! - (Danny) Hello? (Michael) Please get me out.
(Danny) Door's jammed, get round the other side.
Oi, I give the orders around here.
Connor, round the other side.
OK, keep your head still.
(Connor) I've got the door open.
Try to stay calm, we'll get you out as soon as we can.
Just get us out of here, please! (Connor) OK, listen, I need you to try and edge your way towards me.
(Connor) Yes, that's right, nearly there.
Can I help you? Get me Christine Johnson.
I don't care if she's in a meeting, on holiday or struck by lightning.
Get her for me now! Just bring it in here.
Listen, try not to break it as you unpack it, OK? Can you describe the creature to me? - (Michael) Big.
- (Christine) It's very big, it's huge.
I was gonna want and wait more detail than that.
People are dead because of you.
But this is amazing.
This is the biggest story there has ever been and it's mine! I mean, you don't seriously believe you can cover this up, will you? - There'll be no story, trust me.
- Guys, can we just focus? - What happened to the creature? - It went back.
- You can't stop me from telling the world about this.
- Watch me.
Take them away, take their phones, not one word of this leaks out.
- (Michael) This is unbelievable! - (Connor) We haven't got much time.
- It's gonna be back.
- He knows there's easy prey here.
Look, here's what I think we should do.
There is no 'we'.
This has got nothing to do with you.
This is a secure zone and you don't have authorisation to even be here.
Leave now! - Do you want me to arrest him? - Last chance.
So where do you want all this stuff? Over there? Unbelievable.
That's the last one.
There is nothing here that in anyway threatens the integrity of the ARC operation.
I give you my word on that.
And the Minister's.
Do you know, I can't tell you how much that reassures me.
You've got a little bit of a hotline to the Minister, haven't you? I saw your suggestions for Cutter's replacement.
One thing in common, military uniforms.
Have you got a little bit of a thing for them? We're all on the same side, James.
We have to trust each other.
No, I don't think either of us got where we are by trusting anyone.
The military have a significant role to play in the fight against the anomalies.
I'm sure you appreciate that James.
You're not getting anywhere near the ARC operation.
You want to trust me on something? Trust me about Christine.
- Bear with me.
- OK.
And we are ready.
OK.
Do this for me.
(Connor cries out) Connor! Connor - I thought you said this was going to work? - It does.
- It will.
- Well, how long before we can try it again? I don't know, a few seconds, I don't know.
It's just a little thing, but did anyone think about closing the doors? Right, that's it, arrest him.
(Dinosaur roars) Look out! (Dinosaur roars from a distance) Our exclusive is heading towards the runway.
I need to get out of here.
The biker, he's gone.
His name's Danny Quinn.
And right now, I'm big more concerned about a T-Rex wild on an airfield.
That wasn't a T-Rex.
That was a giganotasaurus.
A G-Rex, if you like.
That thing is bigger, it's faster.
It's even more dangerous.
Get the locking mechanism working and seal that anomaly.
Stay with him.
Anything comes through, kill it.
Come on! OK, let's get this thing unloaded.
I tee off in an hour.
Bring these four first, these are the heavy ones.
All right, lads (Man) Come and have a look at this! Get back, get back inside the plane! (Man) Quick, get back in! Now there's something you don't see every day.
Stay under the plane.
I'll go and check on the crew, I've got to get them down.
- What is that thing? - It doesn't matter.
Don't worry, we'll get you out of here.
Come on.
Come on Get out! Come on! Get out of the car! Get out! Get out of the car! Let's turn and burn.
Change of plan.
You stay here, (Becker) you'll be safer where you are.
My shoulder hurts, you take over.
If I don't get this story first, I'll sue the government for theft, false imprisonment, infringement of copyright and anything else that the lawyers can think of.
Why have you stopped? I want 20 per cent of the merchandising.
All right, 20.
Just get us out of here.
Yes! Oh, thank you! It works.
Never doubted you for a second.
Where have you been? Connor Connor, we need some help.
(Connor) OK.
Stay here, don't touch anything.
Jenny, we'll be with you in seconds.
Just hang on.
Pull over here.
By the tow truck.
See you in a bit.
Come on, girl.
Abby, what the hell is he doing? He's creating a diversion.
No, no no no no no! I'm not going to out-run this thing! Just stop! Connor (Dinosaur moves) Just don't move.
Don't move.
Come on, you ugly sod.
Let's have you.
Who's that? Here.
Identify yourself, please.
Will you please identify yourself.
Bear with me a sec.
A little bit busy at the moment.
Danny, do you have the first idea what you're doing up there?! Look, don't worry, I'm an experienced pilot.
How experienced? Two lessons.
But they went unbelievably well.
All right.
What's the plan? Well, to be honest, I'm pretty much making it up as I go along.
Get in.
Get in! What? What sort of lunatic is he? I think he's trying to lead it back into the hangar.
- Connor, did you lock the anomaly? - Oh, yes.
Oh, no Get back to the hangar, quick as you can.
There, here! (Becker) Ow, Connor, that's my It is opening, don't stop.
I bruise easily, you know.
This is cool.
This is good.
(Dinosaur roars from a distance) Come on, let's go.
Where are we going? The camera.
We need evidence.
Let's just get out of here.
No! I want that footage! - What do you think you're doing?! - Ever heard of freedom of the press? Connor, now! You know what, I quit! (Dinosaur roars) Oh, this is going to be an amazing shot! Woah, woah! Danny, can you hear me? - We need to lock it again.
- He might be alive.
- We can't take that risk.
- He's got a minute.
- But, Jenny - I'm in charge here! Just give him a chance.
(Becker) Well, I think you're making a big mistake.
OK, do it.
(Unknown sound beyond anomaly) There's something coming through.
Lock it! Wait! There's a herd of them and they're coming! Connor! I can't lock it with him in the way! So what did you do with the helicopter? I'll just nip back and get it, shall I! - Abby - Yeah? I was just wondering if you managed to sort everything out? You know, with Jack? - Connor - Yeah? We need to talk.
- Later.
- OK.
- I've got to get back now anyway.
- Yeah, well, - I have to put this stuff away.
- Perfect.
- See you later then.
- Yeah.
For a talk.
Thank you.
- You saved people's lives today.
- Ssh, don't worry about it.
Now I'm going to have to arrest you.
Well, we all have our own unique way of showing appreciation.
You don't want to get involved with this, Danny.
- People get killed.
- I know that, Jenny.
Remember? Go back to your life.
Just forget all this ever happened.
Oh, and get some flying lessons.
Sorry if I got at you before.
It's all right.
It was pretty tense there for a moment.
You did a good job.
Thanks.
What do you want me to do with our kamikaze pilot? I was just Oh, you're kidding me! Come on How's the head? Don't know.
Might have knocked some sense into me.
Well done today.
Cutter would have been proud of you.
Yeah.
And you.
All right? Come on.
Hello? (Abby from upstairs) Hang on.
(Footsteps) Abby, listen, if there's If there's something that you want to talk to me about, some sort of problem, you can.
It's cool, I can take it.
(Lad behind) You all right? (Abby) Will you just put some clothes on, please! Relax.
I couldn't find any conditioner.
Jack.
Nice to meet you.
Connor.
My baby brother.
Sorry, I was going to explain.
There's no explanation necessary.
That's That's your brother, wow.
- Couldn't find somewhere to crash for a few days, could you? - Eh? (Jack from upstairs) Abby, there's no hot water! Jack needs somewhere to stay.
And I am his sister, it's only temporary, Connor.
Of course.
(Connor) That's that's cool.
I'll just I'll stay at a mate's house or something.
Sure you're OK with it? - A hundred percent.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Oh (Some animal barks) Hello, you two.
- It looks like we're going on holiday.
- Yay! Yay! Wicked.
I appreciate how hard things have been for everyone.
So I wanted to say thank you.
For everything you've done.
Calm, controlled and slightly dull.
Just like you asked for.
Except for that G Rex, of course.
Oh, minor detail.
- I spoke to Christine Johnson.
- (Jenny) Oh? Did she tell you anything? No.
I didn't expect her to.
- I see.
- She's definitely up to something.
And I'm going to find out what, have no fear of that.
You think the creatures are frightening, Jenny, you should try the civil service.
The fate of the nation possibly the world hangs on what we do here.
We need to find Sir Richard now.
(Lester) It's not a place for chancers and wide-boys.
Woah woah woah! You've seen what I can do and I want in.
What we thought was ash is spores.
It'll spread through London.
This could be tricky to explain to next of kin.
(Lester) Bad news, he's turned into a mushroom.
Corner it and then we grill it, right? That thing was a man not long ago.
So, we ask it nicely, then we grill it.
(Abby) Do not use a flame thrower.
Jenny!
