Primeval s05e03 Episode Script

(CLOCK BELL TOLLING) (NEIGHING) (DOG BARKING) MAN: Go on, clear off, you two.
- Going home.
Goodnight, boys.
- Goodnight.
(HAMMERING) WORKER: Hello? (SCREAMING) BOY: Here, give it back! BOY 2: No! (BELL TOLLING, HORSES CLOPPING) NEWSPAPER SELLER: Spring Heeled Jack kills again! PUPPETEER: Have you seen Spring Heeled Jack? Do you know what he would do? (GASPS) When Spring Heeled comes, he'll take these daggers - and he'll cut you! Argh! - (GIRLS SCREAMING) It is remarkable how the actions of one deranged individual can provoke such hysteria.
"The Beast.
" People are afraid, Henry.
Three innocent victims have been killed.
Ghastly deaths.
So you believe all this talk in monsters then, do you? There are many things in this world we do not yet understand.
MAN: Stop that boy, stop him! You're still in a disturbed state of mind, my dear, no doubt from your recent unhappy experience.
Now, my contacts in the police force assure me that this drivel has no more basis in fact than a fairy story.
These murders were committed by a man, not a ghoul and not a beast.
- Cabbie! - But the nature of the wounds, surely no human being could inflict such suffering.
It's not the sort of thing a woman talks about.
Of course not.
Forgive me, Henry.
We have to find out what Connor's doing.
He won't tell me anything.
He worked straight through the night.
I haven't even seen him.
He's obsessed.
Well, if he won't tell you, we're going to have to find out some other way.
And you're the only person who can do that.
You want me to break into his lab? If I get caught, it's a disaster.
I lose Philip's trust.
If you get caught I'm just the jealous girlfriend, right? You're asking me to lie to him.
To risk our whole future together.
He's already risking it, Abby, and it's not just your future, it's everyone's.
(ANOMALY ALARM SOUNDING) I can't.
You know what? I'd better go and join the team.
This doesn't feel right.
Philip pulled you out of the field for a reason.
You have more important work to do here, Connor.
We're so close.
You told Philip this would work.
Yeah, and it will.
Then you're making the right decision.
If they need you, they'll call.
It's just Okay.
(TYRES SCREECHING) First floor.
Building's being cleared.
(REPETITIVE ELECTRONIC GROWLING) Motion detector.
Video installation, a bit old and tired.
I'm more of a post-Impressionist myself.
The anomaly is this way.
You know, the more I get to know him, the more frightened I get.
(ELECTRONIC GROWLING PLAYS) Something must have triggered it.
(SCREECHES) (HISSING) Don't shoot.
- What? - I think it likes you.
(HISSING) It doesn't like me.
It's threatened by me.
It can sense that I'm the alpha male.
We can usher it back in.
You could run for the anomaly.
Seriously, Becker.
Run.
Come on! (SCREECHING) Any injuries? - Good work, everyone.
- Everyone? Next time, you run.
Guys, we've got a problem.
What? We've just sent a raptor back through to the late 1860s.
What? How is that even possible? Victorian newspaper.
The device is correct.
It must have blown through the anomaly.
Spring Heeled Jack? Look at those claws.
They've even given it a nickname.
Jess, we've just sent a raptor back to Victorian London.
I need you to check news, archives for the period.
Look for references to a "Spring Heeled Jack".
And start at January 21st, 1868.
This is not good.
How not good? Over last month, this Spring Heeled Jack has killed at least another 12 people.
- Oh.
- Great! - Give me your gun.
- Why? What are you doing? I'm going to go through.
Twelve people and that's only the ones we know about, no arguments.
I'm not arguing.
We need to fix this.
Becker, what about the rules? Yeah, we've made a colossal mistake and it's our fault.
We need to fix it.
I'm coming with you.
No, you're not.
I'm going on my own.
The more of us there are, the more attention we draw to ourselves.
Unlock the anomaly.
Now, listen, while I'm gone, you have to do what we discussed.
Matt, I can't.
I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't crucial.
You have to get in there.
Good luck.
You, too.
(LIQUID DRIPPING) (CREAKING) (MARKET SELLERS CALLING OUT) (SCREECHING) (MAN SCREAMING) (WATER BUBBLING) (CLATTERING) (LASER CHARGING) (SCREECHING) Hey! Hey! You need to get out of here! I mean it! Emily.
What are you doing here? I live here.
What are you doing here? We put a raptor back through by mistake.
That wasn't very clever, was it? Not my finest moment, no.
(DRIVER YELLING) DRIVER: Whoa! Whoa there, girl.
- MAN: Pull up here, driver.
- Whoa.
And Mr Webster, this business must go smoothly, yes? There must be no fuss or embarrassment, do you understand? You're doing the right thing, sir.
I assure you, she will be treated with the utmost respect.
I'm talking about discretion, man.
She's caused more than enough scandal as it is.
Now I'm a laughingstock in every club in London.
I want her locked away where she can't harm me any more.
Or herself, of course.
The original anomaly the raptor came through, have you seen it? I searched.
It must have closed.
Whoa! - You look good.
- It's protection.
After the first killing, the description of the wounds, I knew I had to do something.
Wait.
You're Spring Heeled Jack.
Emily, if they catch you, you'll hang.
You have to go home and let me deal with this.
What are you even doing here, Matt? What happened to stopping Philip? Philip is under control.
I'm here because it's my job.
And that's the only reason you're here? Yeah.
(SCREECHING) - Emily, where are you going? - I'm going after it.
Listen, Abby looked into what happened to you.
Stop there! I don't want to know.
I have to go.
- No, but your husband - Matt! I don't want to hear it.
I've finally got my life back, a normal life.
Whatever is going to happen to me will happen.
I don't want to change it.
I can't.
Henry! What are you Oh, I had you followed.
I can explain.
Outside.
Now! Henry, this is not what you think.
This man means nothing to me.
- You are leaving.
- Let go of her or I'll shoot! Matt! He is going to have you committed as a lunatic, thrown into Bedlam Hospital, where you'll stay until you die.
Henry? Matt! (GROANING) HENRY: Come on! - I'll take those, I think.
- Henry, I'm not mad.
- Please, hear me out.
- You're just not well, Emily.
You're not well.
You haven't been well for some time.
- Webster, bind her! - (SCREAMS) Ow! She bit me! - Get her in there! - Leave me alone, Henry! - Get off me! - Take the back streets.
Hyah! (CREATURE SCREECHING) Ready? Not really, no.
That's never stopped me before.
I'll call Philip.
No, we should I think we should test it first.
Yeah? Okay.
(LASER CHARGING) This is completely fried.
Only the inner coil.
We'll rebuild it, try again.
It was working, Connor.
We don't know that.
Who am I kidding? - I can't do this.
- Yes, you can.
The parts we need are at New Dawn.
I'll get them.
We'll try again.
We're nearly there, Connor.
- Are you okay? - Hmm? Yeah.
Look, I know it's none of my business, Abby, but Connor loves you, everyone can see it.
But what if that's not enough? What if I did something that he couldn't forgive? There isn't There isn't someone else? No.
Of course not.
It's just Suppose I have to do something I know is for his own good, but he doesn't see it that way? What if I have to lie to do the right thing? All I know is, once you start lying, that's usually the beginning of the end.
- Talking is definitely better.
- Yeah.
- Thanks, Jess.
- Okay.
You're right.
Forgot something.
- Popping up to see Connor? - Yeah.
Look, Abby, some friendly advice.
Unless you have more faith in Connor, you're going to lose him.
Wow! Friendly advice, eh? You have to let him work.
What he's doing is too important.
He can't be distracted.
I'm his girlfriend, not a distraction.
Maybe you should concentrate on your own job, Abby.
You do like your job, don't you? Thanks for the advice, April.
- Just looking out for you.
- Yeah.
I'd hate to see you make a serious mistake.
(LIFT BELL DINGS) Jess, you know I'd never do anything to get you into trouble, don't you? Give me a couple of minutes alone with the computers.
- Do you promise me I won't regret it? - Mmm-hmm.
Okay, I'll be back in five.
(HORSE NEIGHING, MAN URGING) Henry, please.
There are things you do not understand.
Have you any idea of the damage your disappearance did to my reputation? Hmm? And you still refuse to offer any explanation for where you went.
Because I have no memory of it.
Were you with that man? I can see the answer all over your face.
I am a faithful wife, Henry.
Well, even if that were true, you've lost all sense of your place since your return.
Your ideas on how a woman should behave aredisturbed.
I agree, I am not the person you married, but I am not insane.
No? Well, then why are you dressed like that? (THUDDING) (DRIVER YELLING) - See what that is.
- What? Why me? Now! (SCREECHING) (SCREAMING) - Release me, Henry! - Not a chance.
Henry, I know what's out there.
It's a creature.
It's the thing they're calling Spring Heeled Jack.
I can protect you.
I can kill it.
- Oh, you really are mad! - Please! There is no monster! (HORSE NEIGHING) (NEIGHING) Henry! (SCREECHING) Emily, I command you to stay where you are! (GRUNTS) You'll thank me for it later.
(CREATURE SCREECHING) (DOGS BARKING) Are you all right? Do you need any help? It's Spring Heeled Jack! Spring Heeled Jack! Spring Heeled Jack.
He's killed again! Emily! Hey.
- Where's the raptor? - We should go back to its nest.
- Wait for it there.
- No, we need to find it right now! You're in my time now, Matt.
We do this my way.
Come on.
Okay.
Murderers.
(VIBRATING) Abby, are you okay? Everything all right at the anomaly? Fine.
All under control.
I was wondering if you had five minutes for a chat? Meet me in the loading bay.
If you're not too busy.
Yeah, no, course.
I'll see you in a sec.
Great.
Come on.
Come on.
(PHONE RINGING) Hey.
Sorry.
I got held up.
Just give us a couple of minutes.
- Yeah, cool.
I'll stay here.
- Okay.
Oh, come on.
- That was quick.
- Why aren't you in the lab? Oh, I was just waiting for Abby.
She She wanted to Okay.
Come on.
April.
Are you just going to ignore me? April, what on earth is the matter? I literally only left the room for like a couple of minutes.
But if you don't mind me saying, you're kind of acting a little bit paranoid.
No, you're right.
Sorry.
I'm just a bit nervous, that's all.
- Big day.
- Yeah, I suppose.
So, um, shall we do this, then? Do you want to try and fix it? Let's.
Your EMD must be here somewhere.
Spring Heeled Jack! He came this way, I saw him! Come on, men, this way! (ALL CLAMOURING) (GLASS SHATTERING) (MEN SHOUTING) - MAN: Murderer! - Come on! Lose the cloak.
If they catch you dressed like that, you'll hang for certain.
Three in there! (SCREECHING) MATT: Quick, let's split up.
Go, go, go, go! Two in there! Hey, use that! (WHIP CRACKING, CREATURE SCREECHING) (CREATURE RASPING) (SCREECHES) (CHAINS RATTLING) (ROARS) (GRUNTS) Hey! In there! Come on! (SHOUTING) (LASER FIRING) I just softened him up for you.
We need to get the raptor back through the anomaly.
We can't leave it here.
Come on.
(MEN YELLING) (ALL SHOUTING) Go, go, go.
Here's good.
- Give him a push.
- Emily - One, two - I want you to come back with me.
Three.
Okay, come on.
Emily, I mean it.
You might have been born here, but you don't belong here any more.
Matt, I won't end up in an asylum.
I can look after myself.
I'll leave here, travel abroad.
Come with me, to the ARC.
That's where you belong now, Emily.
This is my home.
And you have your own commitments.
I was wrong to tell you to come back here.
I've really missed you.
And I you.
(CLANGING FROM ABOVE) Goodbye, Matt.
HENRY: Stop there! You are a murderer and an adulteress.
And you will account for your crime.
Don't move! I will fire.
I will shoot! No.
Matt! (GROANS) I'm shot.
I'll get the medical kit.
There's no blood.
There's no blood.
There's no wound.
Your outfit saved you.
Matt! Neither of you move or I will kill him.
MATT: Put the gun down and we'll let you go home.
Get up! Now! I'm not going anywhere without my wife.
She will pay for her crimes.
I didn't kill anyone, Henry.
And I'm not your wife, not any more.
And I'm not coming back with you.
- This is my home now.
- Enough! Get to your feet, woman.
Now! Or your lover dies.
(DEVICE SOUNDING) What is this place? You, how are you doing this? You have mesmerised me.
Henry, put the gun down.
Please.
No one here means you any harm.
Look out behind you! Stop! Stay where you are! He's dead.
Connor, what's wrong? Nothing, I just don't know what happened to Abby, that's all, I I think I'm going to give her a quick call.
Connor, sorry, but I don't think she was ever going to show up.
What? What do you mean? She's playing mind games with you, Connor.
Mind She's not playing mind games.
She'd never do anything like that.
What you see is what you get with Abby.
Okay? I'm going to take a breather.
Connor, I didn't mean to It's fine.
Look, I think we should let all the system warm-up first.
Maybe that was the problem before, the coils weren't quite ready or something.
- Buy me a coffee? - Cool.
What are you doing? Nothing.
Um Are you trying to get in there? What the hell, Abby? You're just spying on me now? You really hate Philip that much, do you? No.
Connor, listen.
He's dangerous.
Really dangerous.
I know things.
Okay? I can tell you, but we can't talk here.
What's with the secrets? When Danny was here, he spoke to Matt.
He found a connection between Helen and Philip.
They knew each other, Connor.
I know.
- Sorry? - I know, Philip told me.
Philip said that when Danny was in the Rift Valley, he found some papers in Helen's bag with his name on it.
- That doesn't prove anything.
- Of course it does.
They were in league with each other somehow.
No, they weren't.
Philip is one of the most famous scientists in the world and Helen knew his name.
It doesn't mean anything.
I don't get why you don't Is that it, or have you got more proof that Philip's some kind of supervillain? Oh.
What's happening to us? I don't know.
But I know I've got work to do.
Oh, my God, Emily! - I always knew you'd be back.
- You knew more than me.
So you just went back for the raptor, yeah? You're never allowed to go anywhere else again, ever.
- It's good to see you, too.
- Come on.
(CHATTING, INDISTINCT) (CLEARS THROAT) Hi.
Wow.
Thank you.
Abby, some day he will understand.
I'm not so sure about that.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, it's going to work this time.
He said you'd do it.
Philip, we did it.
We made history.
Nothing's going to be the same again.
