The Head (2020) s03e05 Episode Script

Well, that was okay.
Yeah, well, we'll see what that's like.
Will they move the dates?
No, we can't revise them.
I don't know. Just tell
them that's what was agreed.
We can't review them.
Just stay still, okay? Mommy's talking.
Sorry.
Well, yeah.
I'm going to need 20
minutes with each one
and you can move them to last. Okay?
Right. You know what? I'm
going to have to call you back.
Yeah, alright.
Come here.
Come here, let's go in the car.
Come on, Mommy's in a rush.
In we go.
Right.
Watch this while Mommy
returns the trolley. Okay?
There's only about ten cents worth
of materials in the whole thing.
You pirates, crooks, bandits!
Mikey, what are you doing?
Mikey.
Mikey.
Mikey!
Mikey!
Mikey! Hey!
Hey!
- What is it?
- Sorry to bother. Small hitch.
We have to replace one of
the five trial subjects.
Why? What happened?
Mario Rossano. He got cold feet.
- It can happen.
- I thought everyone
had signed the paperwork.
Yes, but
Tell him it's too late.
It would be a mistake
to force the issue.
I've been recruiting pharma trials
for a long time and trust me,
the last thing you want
is an unwilling subject,
especially on a high-risk
phase one like yours.
I've just sent you
the perfect replacement
who's passed all the screenings.
Why don't you take a look?
Well, well.
Look who's here.
You can drop that.
Do you have any water?
No.
What happened?
Jamal decided everyone
but him's the killer?
Jamal is dead.
The guinea pigs are in charge.
They're taking the truck.
What?
There was petrol all along.
I'm sorry.
No, you hid it in the hotbox, remember?
Where's Rachel, Liam?
Helping them desalinate the algae water.
That's our girl. Saving her own skin.
What about us?
Are we safe?
There's a way out.
An air shaft.
It's too narrow for
you two, but I can fit.
Then why are you still here?
I need help.
So you have three options.
One, you force me to kill you,
but then I die of dehydration down here.
Two, you kill me, but then
you both die of dehydration.
Or three,
we work together
and survive.
It's hard to do this when you've
got that gun pointing at me.
The last time no one was
pointing a gun at you,
you ran to fetch a rifle.
I only care about my baby.
And right now, you are
her only hope of survival.
Okay?
Push me up.
Yup.
Okay.
Can I have that?
Alright, thanks.
Okay.
Now that's more like it.
Guys!
Guys, in here!
The French lady.
Oh my God, poor Ida.
I'm sorry.
But what kind of fucked up
Frankenstein shit have they been doing?
Should we do something?
Like what?
I don't know, like bury them.
Okay, but is she smiling?
What's wrong with you?
- It's not funny.
- Okay.
Don't worry, Joe, don't be like that.
Never get killed.
I love you so much. Look at me.
So much.
Oh, shit.
What?
Her friend Molly.
Get off.
No way.
There you go.
Okay, move, I'll go up.
Whoa. How do we know you're
actually going to come back for us?
That's why I'm going.
Hey!
Why should we trust you?
Alright, enough, children!
And fuck you both, by the way.
I'll just go and save us all.
Fine.
Turn around, I'll just
step on your shoulders.
Hang on. Yeah.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah, I think so.
Wait. Yeah, yeah.
God. Fuck!
Okay. Wait. And let's go.
Fuck! Fuck!
I don't know. Well
- What?
- It's very tight, like your asshole.
I told you! Just come back down.
- Fuck! I'm stuck!
- Are you sure?
Looks like you're almost there, mate.
Okay, just let me
One last try.
There.
Oh, fuck. Wait.
What is it?
Okay, okay, okay. I think I've got it.
Wait.
There is something.
What is it?
What is that?
Oh, fuck. No, no.
Pierre!
Wasps!
Hey! No!
- Help me!
- Fuck! He's hit a nest!
Liam! Fucking move,
I'll pull him out! Move!
Fuck, fuck!
Wilde.
You've got a visitor.
And I thought nobody loved you.
I have an admirer.
I guess there's someone for everyone.
Professor Wilde.
Somehow I thought you'd be a woman.
I'm sorry to disappoint.
No.
No, not at all.
So
what should I call you?
I'm Liam Ruddock, Doctor Liam Ruddock.
Don't be nervous, Liam.
Please.
Thanks. I'm sorry, you know,
just seeing you in the flesh
Well, I won't bite.
Listen,
we don't have much time.
Now, I find you a very
impressive young man.
You've shown great
determination, great courage.
Now, I need you to take the next step.
Find Maggie Mitchell
and make her suffer.
What are you doing?
What you were going to do
next. I just got to it first.
You're wrong. You're wrong.
I'm tired of your fucking lies.
Maggie Mitchell
ends here.
Fuck! Fuck!
Yeah, ready.
What the hell is she doing?
She's fucking high.
Earth to Alba.
Hey, babe! Hey!
Do you like my goddess?
You're a psycho!
- Why is he shouting?
- Would you like it
if someone did that to you?
I wouldn't know they
were doing it, dumbass.
Well, I'm burying her.
Chillax.
You've got your guy on a cross.
I got my chick on a stick.
Keiko, please say something.
Why don't we let him bury her, babe?
See?
All you had to do was ask nicely.
Let's bury!
Let's get out of here fast, Alba.
Find Maggie Mitchell
and make her suffer.
Maggie
Mitchell? I don't know who that is.
I think you have me
confused with someone else.
I'm a colleague of
your daughter's, Rachel.
My mistake.
Where is she?
She's in the Philippines doing research.
Is that the reason she's
not answering my letters?
It hasn't been easy for her.
And it's been a fucking breeze
for me, I can tell you that.
What does she want?
To be honest, she doesn't know I'm here.
Professor,
given your situation,
you won't be able to
continue your research
and your work is far too vital
for it to be simply
abandoned and forgotten.
Now,
Rachel is the best
person to carry it on.
She's brilliant. She's determined.
And frankly, I can't think of anybody
else better suited for the job.
But she would never ask you herself,
which is why I'm here.
To beg you, please,
pass the research you started on Polaris
over to her.
Really?
Just like that?
It might heal the wounds between you.
Bring you two close again.
I mean, who knows? Right?
- Who knows?
- Right.
Let me tell you something, young man.
My research is like my child.
My favorite child.
I'm its father.
I created it.
Without me, it doesn't survive.
Without me, it fucking dies!
And woe betide anyone who tries to
put their grubby little mitts on it.
What are you doing
with me when we're done?
It's not my say.
It should be.
You're the only real adult left.
I just
You're the only one who understands
what it's like to be
responsible for another life.
I saw the picture of your son
in your room.
Connor.
You must miss him.
I just hope I make it out of here.
I'm all he has.
Where's his mom?
She
She left us.
She couldn't really
cope with a sick child.
You think you know somebody and then
Right. That sounds really tough.
What does he have?
MLD.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I guess having a child is a lottery.
I'm sure yours will be fine.
Is that a promise?
Drink.
It's not your algae that's killing us.
Keep it.
Thank you.
Thought you'd be rid of me?
Finders keepers.
You'll sleep better up top.
I'm not tired.
You will be. I can wait.
- You think that'll make you feel better?
- Fuck yeah!
It was Patrick's order.
I didn't want to do it.
But you did.
He said it was either you or me.
Now, what would you have done?
What did you do when they kettled me?
See, that's the way with Patrick.
He puts us against each other.
Turns us into animals.
Makes our lives here a living hell.
And it won't stop until he's stopped.
Now, that's what you
really want, isn't it?
What we both want.
He's untouchable.
He thinks he is.
But alone, he's nothing at all.
Now we can do it.
Together.
He never showers without protection,
and he's got blades in his cell.
Forget the blades.
You can get enough
heroin to stop his heart.
There's a CCTV dead zone.
The rear aisle in the library.
That's where he keeps
the books with the phones.
He'll see you on crutches.
He'll never suspect anything.
I'll be there.
He's used to me browsing books.
At my signal, we come both ways.
I grab him from behind,
and you stick him in the jugular.
Please, come quickly.
I found him like this.
Lying here.
Poor lad.
Security!
Code three in the library!
Come quick, come quick!
Alright, check his pulse.
Is he breathing?
A thank-you from Patrick.
You idiot.
That's me.
You'll see me on court day.
Bitch!
Fucking
No, no, no. Shit!
Don't do that.
There he is.
The man himself, huh?
Come in, have a game.
On me.
A game?
And my mobile back for saving your skin.
I would've thought a
man in your position
could afford to be a
touch more magnanimous.
Magnanimous?
Do you hear him?
That fucking cheeky, you.
What can I do for you?
Can you make someone vanish?
Disappear?
Someone outside.
That'll cost money.
I have cash.
Who?
Her name is Maggie Mitchell.
She's a witness at my trial.
At your trial, Professor.
They'll trace it back to you.
Well, this is one death
that I'd happily own.
I'll ask around.
Glory be to the Father and to
the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
What makes you think she was Christian?
It's all the same God.
Then why would he let everyone die here?
Why would he let Ida die?
He
Everything has a reason, Alba.
It's just hidden from us.
Yeah, which means there isn't any, Joe.
It's all random.
Yeah, it is.
Like, why us and not Mario?
- Who's Mario?
- The guinea pig they sacked.
What?
I met him at the first screening.
We made friends because
we both got chosen.
- They sacked a guinea pig?
- Yeah.
He signed the contract,
he was ready to go.
I don't know. The recruiter
called him last minute
- to say he was being dumped.
- Why?
I don't know, she just never said.
She just paid him off.
He's probably on a beach now.
Drinking gin tonics in fucking Ibiza.
Alright, don't speak.
Just shake or nod your head.
Were there six guinea pigs originally?
So we were always meant to be five?
Why?
What are you whispering?
Nothing.
Sure. Sweet nothings.
What's going on?
She's done.
You made enough water.
You three, load the car.
She stays with me.
Why?
Why do you care?
Because she's pregnant.
No shit, Sherlock. Go!
Hang on a second. When did you
start making all the decisions?
Since I'm the reason we are alive.
We did this together, we
should decide together.
Okay. Democracy, let's vote.
You three, load the car while
I guard Sean's new lady friend.
Votes against?
Joe?
I'm not taking sides.
- You lose.
- She's going to kill me
- like she killed Jamal, please.
- I will if you don't shut up.
How does the algae travel?
In a PBR machine.
What's that?
Photobioreactor. It's like the
tank, but it needs batteries.
Where is it?
Where is it?
Alba, get that door open.
Are you okay, Joe?
Yeah.
Put it in here.
What are you going to do with it?
Give it to Aki's father.
Nobody's going to make
millions from Aki's death.
Only him.
- Ready?
- Yep.
- What have you done to Rachel?
- She ran off.
Let's go before she lets the others out.
No, I'm not getting in that car.
What now, Joe?
We're not the original five guinea pigs.
You said this guy Mario
was sacked for no reason.
And Rachel said we were
always meant to be five,
so either Sean or Keiko was lying.
"Rachel said " Are you stupid?
They've been lying to us from day one.
The Mario thing is true.
Maybe you're an imposter,
because you don't want
us to leave, do you?
Then why would I show you the petrol?
My brain is fried. Can we just go?
- Please?
- None of us is an imposter.
But if you want to stay
here and die, feel free.
- Come on.
- Don't get in that car.
Alba, please.
Please don't get in the car, Alba.
Alba, please.
We're not supposed to be here.
Wait!
Come on! Run!
Okay.
Liam?
Pierre?
We have officially left Hell, people!
- Okay.
- How far will the petrol
take us, Sean?
It'll take us all the
way to Cairo if needs be.
Bring on 5G!
Who will you call first?
My dad, to send money for a cruise
on the Nile. Everyone's invited!
What about the cure for my son?
Cruise cancelled, everybody.
How do you become you?
I can give you lessons if you want.
Why are we going so slow?
There something wrong with the engine.
You must be in the wrong gear.
I know how to fucking drive.
Pierre?
Liam?
Liam.
You came.
What did you do?
- What did you ?
- I didn't want to.
I didn't want to, Rachel.
Where's Pierre?
Oh, my God.
Do you have any water?
Get off! Get off me!
Get off me!
The subjects?
And the algae, they
They took the PBR.
There's nothing left.
Rachel!
Rachel!
We're going to be okay.
Rachel!
Rachel!
Rachel!
It's started, hasn't it?
You have to let me
in. I need to help you.
Rachel!
Rachel!
Rachel!
Rachel.
You have to let me in.
They're all dead.
All four of the subjects. The PBR
was destroyed in the explosion.
It's all gone.
What happened to Pierre was an accident.
And then Liam just snapped
and he was going to kill me.
I didn't have a choice. Rachel!
Maggie, get out!
When did Liam last check you?
I'm not fucking with you. Get out!
- You need to let me examine you.
- Maggie, get out!
Okay. I need to feel where the baby is.
You killed them. You are
not touching me or my baby.
Okay, okay, then tell me.
Where was it kicking?
Was it kicking high or low?
Rachel, if this baby is
breech, then you're fucked.
And you can't do this on your own.
You need me.
