Glitch (2015) s03e05 Episode Script

Whatever I've become, I'm still the person you knew.
I'm still Sarah.
Any change? Anything's possible.
(GASPS) Kirstie, no-one can force you to stay.
It is your choice.
Don't worry, we'll get her back.
I don't fail.
Excuse me, but why are we all best friends with the psycho killer now? Look, Phil is on our side now, OK? He wants to help us.
We need to discuss this all together.
We should go somewhere safe and quiet.
You've got to be kidding me.
Everything's going to be all right.
I remember the fire.
The smell of burnt flesh.
Screaming.
Sirens.
Then I remember the helicopter being airlifted off the rig and I felt different.
I didn't know who I was, what my life was.
And then it started coming back.
Kath, and the kids.
Yoorana.
But there was something else I felt.
Drive.
Purpose.
And that's what led me to Doctor Mackeller.
- And then you killed her.
- I'm not a murderer.
I had to return her to her natural state.
- And now you want to return us.
- Not anymore.
- No, I've changed.
- Oh, yeah, no worries.
Yeah, well, let's be friends and you can kill us in our sleep.
I'm telling you the truth.
We need each other.
I can protect you.
Who from? Others will be coming.
People like me.
People close to you, who you trust.
They'll die and they'll come back, just like I did.
How will we know who they are? - With my help.
- (SCOFFS) - What, are you psychic or something? - No.
But there are signs.
When I came back, I had all my memories and I knew everything.
It's just how things felt.
Experiences.
- They were a surprise to me, all new.
- OK.
Well, you've told us now.
Fuck off.
If you want to stay alive, you need my help.
No fuckin' way.
We should think about this.
I mean, he's strong He tried to kill all of you and he murdered my wife.
I want him gone.
Why don't you get in the car.
I'll drive you - James, please - In the car.
Just think about it.
What about us? I'm not staying in the same house as Pete fuckin' Rennox.
Get back to the Lake House, all of you.
No.
We stay.
Little policeman is friend.
OK, you two stay here but don't leave the house.
I'll meet you later.
Now.
(EXHALES DEEPLY) I'll deal with the girl and the Chinaman.
No, I need you to go with the others.
I know how we're going to finish this.
And what about Phil? I'm going to see if I can turn him around.
He's the enemy.
He will stab us in the back.
OK, then we'll get him out of the way but don't worry, I've got a plan.
I just need you to go with the others.
You can stop the car.
Here's fine.
Whose car's that? A few days ago you were talking about wiping them out.
You kept talking about your purpose.
What happened to that? I found a greater one.
And what's that? That feeling you get when you hold a child in your arms.
That love and fear, all mixed together.
You know how potent that is.
So you're saying you lost your purpose.
- What's to stop you finding it again? - You think I'd turn on them? I'm just asking the question.
I'm just like you now, James.
I'm a family man.
Why have you got the heater on? Ah, must have left it on by mistake.
But you're wearing a jacket.
(DOOR BANGS SHUT) Who the fuck is that? - Dunno.
- He's come for me.
He could be anybody.
Phil! Hi.
Who are you? - Jesus, Phil! - Answer me! - I'm just doing my job! - What job? - Phil, stop.
- Let him go right now.
- (GASPS) - What are you doing in my house? He's a real estate agent.
I asked him to come here to value the house.
- (INHALER HISSES) - I'm so sorry.
Oh, no, I know it's late, but this was my only chance to sort of stop by.
Um, I'll be in touch about the Have you lost your mind? - Where have you been? - Shopping, like you asked.
Yeah, and where is it? And what is he doing here? There was a complaint.
The manager said he was acting suspiciously, so I brought him home.
Yeah, that'd be right.
That woman is such a racist.
You know what, the sooner we get out of this town, the better.
I meant what I said.
- I wanna help.
- You've flipped once.
What's it gonna take to make you flip again? - That's not gonna happen.
- You're no good to us.
Stay away from the others.
Home sweet home.
We'd be a lot safer in Sweden than stuck in this dump.
You can't go home, Belle.
Yeah, but my sister's expecting you.
You can just talk to my parents about the cellular regeneration thing.
They'll listen to a policeman.
Well, then, you listen to me, OK? Your parents are not good people.
How can you say that? You don't even know them.
I'm gonna show you something, OK? - OK.
- (SPEAKS CANTONESE) What? Magic window.
I guess.
OK, 19th of April, 1993.
Allegations of domestic abuse and kidnapping at Southern Pentecostal Family Ministries.
Going to do the plants.
Oh, OK, mate.
27th of August, two charges of assault and resisting arrest.
1st of December, two charges of child abuse.
Three children removed from the community.
Yeah, but how is that my parents' fault? Well, it was their community, their church.
They were running it.
No, Mum wouldn't have known about any of that stuff.
OK.
This is the police statement about your death.
"We tried to warn her but she was a very naughty girl, "always running away.
"We couldn't find her.
"When we did find her in the barn, "we called the doctor right away but it was too late.
"She was already dead from the seizure.
"It was such a tragedy".
That's not true.
That's your mother's signature.
Those are her words.
Yeah, but that's a lie.
I didn't run away.
They took me to that barn.
Anne Donohue lied to the police and covered up your death.
God knows what other things she's hidden over the years.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Shit! Oh, my God! Pete! Pete, are you OK? Pete! Oh, fuck! Oh! Oh, God.
He's dead.
Oh, my God.
Are you are you OK? Yeah.
OK.
Oh, God.
Stay there, don't try to move.
I'll call an ambulance.
Keep an eye on him.
- WOMAN (ON THE PHONE): Hello.
- Hello.
Ambulance, please.
Yeah.
My brother's just fallen down the It's a miracle.
You can cancel the ambo.
It's a gas stove.
You need to light it.
How? (GASPS) What's wrong? I saw the world consumed by fire.
It's coming.
- OK.
- We are running out of time.
OK, shhh.
Shh.
I have what we need.
These are hardcore pain meds.
Medicines.
They were Kate's, from years ago.
I need you to crush these up, put them in the food.
If it doesn't kill them, it's going to knock them unconscious, OK? Then we can do it.
It'll be painless.
It'll be merciful.
And what about Belle and Chi? When the time comes, bring them round.
We'll eat together.
Look, I know what we have to do, but I can't hurt them.
It has to be like this.
You OK? Oh.
Yeah.
Here we are again, waiting for the next threat.
I stopped by the shops.
I got some food for us.
So what happened with Phil? I thought you might kill each other.
No, I I just took him home and, um, I told him to stay away.
You know he did help us.
I mean, I know I know it doesn't change what he did to Elishia and Sarah.
How's Nia? She's OK.
She's with my folks.
I didn't think you'd let her out of your sight.
Well, everything I'm doing is for her for her future.
Where are the others? Charlie's around.
Kirstie's lying down.
She's not feeling well.
James Phil said there'd be others coming.
Ones close to us.
That's why I'm here.
Yeah, no, we We can't rely on you, all the time.
I need to be able to defend myself and the others.
I want you to teach me to use a gun.
I was pleased to hear from you.
Will madam be having wine with lunch? - I don't think - Yeah, she will.
- Perhaps the Beaujolais? - Sounds ace.
Anthony will be along to take your order.
Tell him to move it.
I'm starving.
That was a dramatic exit.
I didn't think I'd see you again.
- It wasn't my choice.
- I realise that.
Some people think I can't make my own decisions.
I'm too young, not smart enough or whatever.
But I am.
And I'm sick of people telling me what to do.
Quite right.
They think Sweden's a bad idea.
They don't trust you, or Noregard.
And I'm here to let you convince me that they're wrong.
And while you're at it, I'm just ordering the most expensive thing off the menu.
I'll be right back.
When did she write that? The day she died.
The real Sarah was still in there.
Whatever else she was, she still loved you.
And whatever she was here to do her love for you stopped her.
We have to go somewhere private.
God.
Oh, wow.
What do you think that is? A heatwave, or some kind of disease? - You all right? - Yeah.
Is this far enough? Give it to me.
- James.
- Kate.
No, no, stop.
You were a nurse.
You saved lives.
You've You've never taken a life.
Once you cross that line, there's no going back.
You're changed forever.
I've already changed, James.
I just want this chance to live, and I want my friends to live and if I have to fight for them, if I have to kill for them, I will.
You don't know who you'll be fighting.
You heard what Phil said.
It'd be the ones close to us that we trust, and I'm OK with that.
- You sure? - Yeah.
You think you could shoot somebody that you care for? If I had to, now.
Do you think you could shoot me? I didn't think so.
Keep your stance strong.
Put your weight forward because the gun is going to kick.
Line the sights and gently squeeze the trigger.
I told you.
I'll never be vulnerable again.
How do you feel? Legs are sore.
Bit out of practice.
- You're not in pain, though? - Nuh.
Do you want to see a doctor? What good have they ever done? Listen, mate, can you explain how this is even possible? I mean I dunno.
But I like it.
I spent so many years looking up at people from that chair, I'd forgotten how good it is to look down.
Right.
Where's Kirstie? Why do you wanna know where Kirstie is? I guess I owe her an apology.
I don't know where she is.
(DOOR OPENS) Who'd you say those people were again? Friends.
What, a kid and a chink? That the best you can do? Listen, um, why don't I call Kirstie and get her to meet us somewhere? Yeah.
Let's do that.
You could eat like this every day if you wanted.
So where's your head at? This has been nice and all, but you can't buy me off with a fancy steak.
I mean, I'll eat it, but it's not what I really want.
And what do you really want, Kirstie? To live my life.
To stop looking over my shoulder, waiting for someone to bundle me into a van, or stab me.
I want to be normal again.
You'll never be normal, Kirstie.
Others might lie to you but I won't.
That's the brutal truth.
But I can offer you a version of a normal life.
I will explain the benefits of my offer.
Yeah, no, you did, you have.
You explained.
I'll be safe, but to be safe I'll basically be locked up.
- So I'm left with a choice.
- Yes.
You have the power here.
You're in charge.
That plane leaves for Sweden tomorrow.
I'd really like you to be on it.
I'll have to talk to the others.
If I go, I'm not doing it on my own.
I understand.
You know there are two new ones? I'll tell them what you told me.
Is there anything I can do to help? - Could I talk to them? - No.
No-one trusts you.
I need to do it.
Well, whatever you need.
You know where I am.
(AUDIO RECORDING) You know there are two new ones? I'll tell them what you told me.
(AUDIO RECORDING) Is there anything I can do to help? - Could I talk to them? - No.
There's more of 'em.
Hopefully she'll talk them around.
If not, you know what to do.
It's so dry.
Looks like there's a dust storm coming.
Great, now I'll have to clean again before the next inspection.
I'll do it.
You really are sorry, aren't you? Have a look at this.
What do you think? It's big.
- You showed Beau? - He's gonna love it.
It's in a nice new neighbourhood, close to the city.
New schools, parks.
What? It's nice seeing you excited.
Here, Mum! Kylie's spewed on herself and I ain't changing her.
Shit.
See where we are? This is where the Yabbies play.
This is where you played.
Come.
We're wasting time.
Where's Kirstie? I told her we'd meet her at the creek.
This is on the way.
Come on.
It was your life.
Don't you wanna have a go? It's been a long time.
I remember that, ah, that goal.
The siren going, sound of the crowd.
The players carrying you off on their shoulders.
1984 grand final.
Best day of my life.
You're my hero.
Softcock.
Here we go.
Oh, yes! Not as good as I was.
Just need practice.
Come on.
Have a kick.
I'll look stupid.
No, what, there's no-one else here.
Just you and me, come on.
Come on, give us a kick.
Those days are over.
Let's go to the creek.
Meet Kirstie.
There's a storm coming.
You can smell the dust.
We should get home before it hits.
I can wait on my own.
You don't have to be a carer for a retard anymore.
I never thought of you like that.
- You shouldn't use that word - That's what I was.
You're a free man now.
Go and live your life.
You were my life.
I spent 20 years caring for you 'cause you're my brother.
- I'd do anything for you.
- Are you kidding? I would have run for the fucking hills.
Did you kill Kirstie Darrow? I need to know for sure.
I need to hear you say it.
Kevin Brunner went down for that.
Because we framed him.
- You put the shirt in his house.
- I was a kid! But I can never undo what we did to that man! What you did.
That slut was gonna blab.
I tried to talk to her, she started punching me, the stupid bitch.
She brought it on herself.
I had to shut her up.
And now I have to do it again.
(GRUNTS) (THUNDER RUMBLES) Where's Belle and Chi? Why? We need to have a proper conversation about Phil.
About what to do next.
What's going on? Nothing.
Just what I told you.
OK.
And since when did you cook? We need to eat.
Fine, whatever.
Hey, is Kirstie feeling any better? She's still asleep.
- Right, I'll go check on her.
- Yeah.
- James.
- Yeah? William's acting strange.
- What sort of strange? - Stranger than usual.
- Which, you know, is pretty strange.
- Mm.
But I was just thinking about what Phil said.
Others coming.
- You don't think he's - No.
The window's open and Kirstie's gone.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey, kiddo.
I need to talk to you and your mate.
OK, sure.
- Is Chris not here? - No.
OK, good.
It's better if I talk to you in private.
OK, thing is, I have met someone who says that he can help us.
He wants to give us a new life, away from Yoorana.
Life where? China? No.
Sweden.
You know, in Europe? Lots of snow.
Abba.
He wants to give us proper homes.
New identities.
He's got trained security people that can take care of us.
We're gonna be safer than we are here.
Er, what about my sister and my niece? I can't just leave them.
Hey, I know that this is tough, but we can't stay here.
It's too dangerous.
This is a second chance at life.
For both of us.
Chris? You all right? What's wrong with him? Should be happy.
His brother is miracle man.
He's walking again.
What? He fell down the stairs and hit his head and then he just stood up.
Miracle.
Where's Pete? Gone.
Gone where? He's dead.
Are you sure? He told me what he did to you.
He was gonna do it again.
I had to protect you.
(SIGHS DEEPLY) This is so fucked up.
I wish he'd been a better person.
I I'm so sorry.
(SOBS) Yeah, that broke, sorry.
When James was here.
James came here? Yesterday.
What did he want? Just asking questions about you.
A lot of questions.
When you came home, what you were like.
What happened here? I made him a tea and, you know, he just grabbed the mug - and dropped it, and it smashed.
- Why did he drop it? I don't know.
I guess it was hot.
He just grabbed it in the wrong way.
Didn't grab the handle.
- Why do you want to know all this? - What else did he say? Nothing.
- I gotta go.
- What? - I'll I'll come with you.
- No.
I need you to close all the windows.
Put wet towels down along the doors.
Why do you need that for? Why? See, I knew this was too good to be true.
I thought everything was starting to get back to normal and now you're gonna act like a nut job again.
I was such an idiot for trusting you.
Beau, I need you to look after your mum and Kylie, OK? I'm putting my trust in you.
You're a grown-up now.
- Why are you saying it like that for? - 'Cause it's true.
You're coming back, right? Yeah, 'course I am.
It's disgusting out there.
- Where have you been? - Calm down.
I'm back, aren't I? - You can't just leave.
- I'm fine.
Get off my fucking back.
- You should have told me.
- You would have talked me out of it.
Talked you out of what? I met with the guy from Noregard.
Why would you do that? Because he's offering a good deal.
- You cannot trust these people - This is about us.
You're not one of us, James.
You don't get a say.
Charlie, when we left Yoorana, it felt like a new start and I know you felt that too.
You're sure as hell not gonna meet someone like Raf stuck in this dump.
We need to stay here.
If you wanna stay here, knock yourself out 'cause you're kind of a downer anyway.
Kirstie, how can you trust Noregard? If we go to Sweden, we call the shots.
Kirstie, you're kidding yourself.
You saw what they did with William.
They're only going to use you for experiments - No-one leaves.
- You're not the fucking boss of us.
OK, all right.
Let's just relax.
William's made some food.
Let's just sit down, we'll eat, we'll talk this through.
- I already ate.
- Well, you can eat again.
What? I'm going to fetch the other two.
They should all be here.
- Why? - 'Cause we need to be together.
- Well, I can go get them.
- No-one leaves the house.
Hey, if he wants to leave, he can leave.
- Don't you touch her.
- Do as you're told! Hey! William, stop it.
- Get away! - Guys! Stop it! Fucking stop it! The storm is here.
We need to seal the doors and windows.
- You OK? - Yeah.
(WIND HOWLS) Belle! What are you doing? Come and get some towels.
You too, Chi.
Quick! (TRUMPETS PLAY) (WOMEN SCREAM) Chi? (GASPS) We need you to put these by the doors and windows so the dust doesn't get in.
It's for the dust.
Dust bad, OK? Bad things happen.
Well, yeah, asthma.
I survive.
How I survive? With towels.
No, I see slaughter.
If I not die then how do I die? Chi, we haven't got time for this.
Come on.
I'll light some candles.
It'll pass.
We just need to sit tight.
I'm going to have a shower.
- We're just about to eat.
- Yeah, I told you, I'm not hungry.
We'll wait till after the storm.
You OK? Kirstie's so set on leaving, but I don't know what to do.
I don't think you should leave.
I met someone.
In the city.
And I really liked him.
And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
Have you got his number? Call him.
- Maybe later.
- No, no, Charlie, don't put it off.
Don't.
None of us know what's round the corner.
Call him while you can.
Yeah, you're right.
Soon as this storm's passed I'll fetch Belle and Chi.
We will end this tonight.
And it will be peaceful.
It has to be.
And when that's done I guess we're finished too.
What will happen to your daughter? My parents will look after her.
How can I be a father after what I'm about to do? What's going on with you and William? Come on, we don't keep secrets.
I just wish there was another way out of this.
Maybe maybe there is.
Maybe we could go to Sweden together and you could bring Nia.
I know I know this is It's crazy.
But everything that stopped us from being together is in the past.
Kate.
Kate.
It's OK.
Once this storm passes, we're outta here.
I'm famished.
You want some stew? Why not? Airplane food's probably shit.
Can we have some? (KNOCK AT DOOR) Stay there.
- (KNOCKING PERSISTS) - Who is it? It's Phil.
William, I need to talk to you.
Why? It's important.
Don't let him in.
- Talk.
- Just you.
We'll need to question him.
Away from the others.
If I'm right, James is the enemy.
He's going to kill you all.
Are you all right? I fell and hit my head.
But I'm OK now.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Hey! - What are you doing? Get dressed.
What are you doing here? Phil wants to talk.
- Go on then.
- In private, away from the house.
I think we should go.
Someone wanna fill us in? When I get back.
Just wait here.
Don't eat the stew.
- Where are we going? - Just keep walking.
- For how long? - I'll tell you when we stop.
What if I stop now? Then I'll cut your throat.
You knew about this.
Phil, I am not your enemy.
- There are things you need to know.
- On your knees.
- Phil - On your knees.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Get on your knees, hands behind your head.
Tell him.
- Tell him.
- Argh! Argh! Now watch.
There.
You see? I know you said you've changed but that purpose you had when you came back, those impulses you felt, they were right.
They were right.
The rules matter.
You break one rule, it brings chaos.
You know that's true.
I don't care about any of that stuff now.
Well, you have to care.
We all do.
(VEGETATION RUSTLES) Stop it! Stop! Stop it.
Stop.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I need to make you understand.
The universe It's getting worse but The rules matter Everyone who came back has to die It's the rules Break one rule, it brings chaos.
Oh, my God.
Now I understand.
Ah! (GROANS) For Elishia.
Kate! Kate! (SOFTLY) Don't let me die alone.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) (HEAVY BREATHING STOPS) That's just fucking insane.
We've got to get to Chris's.
- (BANGING) - Go! There is a catastrophe approaching.
What catastrophe? It's one that is going to end everything.
Charlie Thompson.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks for inviting me.
You sure know how to spoil a girl.
You'd better get used to it.
You need a lift somewhere? - Thank you.
- Jump on in.
Don't you fucking leave me here!
