Original subtitles

Who's that? Anyone in there?

I'm not ashamed.

Why should I be ashamed? I did my duty.

And this name keeps cropping up.

Amethyst. It's not Japanese.

I did what Amethyst wants.

She's lost.

We're all lost, lost in the world.

But Amethyst found us.

She's calling.

And I followed the rules.

I found the blood.

I touched her, and she's not finished.

There's blood to come.

Better blood.

Game over.

Lee Yamaguchi.

14 years old.

From Kumagaya.

60 miles north of Tokyo.

He was caught carrying a knife outside some stables 10 miles from his house.

He attacked a horse.

A stallion.

Received a vertical slash from the knife on its left flank.

Now that was one of six horses attacked that night.

In chronological order, the Kumajai stables came first.

Then England.

Three separate incidents.

Gores Farm, John Jericho stables, Collingwood stables.

Then America.

One 30 miles outside Lexington, Kentucky, and finally Jamestown.

North Dakota.

Who the hell saw the connection?

It's a miracle anyone noticed over that distance.

I wish I could say it was a brilliant piece of observation, but it was

A pattern recognition program sorts through isolated crimes. There's a link

sent here.

The sixth attack didn't all happen at once, but technically they all happened

the same time.

As midnight of the 25th moved across the time zones, so each attack was

triggered.

It was coordinated.

Has Yamaguchi said anything more about Amethyst?

No word. It's just a name over and over again. We've got a profile on the

Yamaguchi. His parents sent him to an educational psychologist two years ago.

He's a loner, an introvert with one obsession, computers.

Spends hours every day surfing the net.

Well, even if it is an internet campaign, the attacks in this country

physical connection.

Look how spread out these things are.

Japan to Dakota.

But in this country...

They're all within 40 miles of each other.

So our three attackers are together.

Must be.

If Amethyst isn't in the title, it could take River to find her.

There's a million voices in cyberspace all chattering away.

It's the edge of the world out there.

River, give it a rest.

Not me.

It was funny the first time. It's not me.

Is it Judith?

Yeah. What?

It's the baby.

Not due for another week.

Look, OK, if it isn't in the title, every website has a 50 -word

Amethyst might be there. Never mind that.

Just go, you dumb sod.

Good luck.

All the best.

Oh, yeah. Cheers.

Listen, tell Enright I've gone.

I'll come back if it's a false alarm. John, go to your wife and your kid.

Take your leave.

Everything your own, and forget this place.

Lucky man.

Yeah.

My ex -wife's pregnant.

Is that good news or bad news?

I don't know.

I'm still waiting. Kerry hasn't told me yet.

Only found out by accident.

But the funny thing is, I like this.

Not knowing.

I don't have to commit.

I'm pleased, upset.

Don't have to get involved.

This unit's got the best early retirement deal I have ever seen because

know. Reach 50, we're burned out.

We get too involved.

All of us.

I went to the funeral because I felt sorry for Burgess. That's all.

Maybe we did push him.

All of us.

Did you go at the funeral of Ronald Hinks? No.

Kerry will tell me.

In the end.

Then I'll get involved.

I'll have no choice.

I can wait, Mark.

But it's not going to go away.

He's really hot.

What's the matter,

Jack? You want to dance with me, Jack? You want to dance with me, Jack? Dance

with me!

I love you, Jack.

I love you.

We love you, Jack.

I haven't seen Vince. There's no sign of him. Shut the place. He comes in on the

same bus as me. He will crave you. Don't talk.

Not to me, not him. Do you understand?

What?

Don't talk.

That's the rules.

I'm not in till after ten.

Your timetable's sellotaped on the kitchen door.

Monday, first lesson, design and technology.

Well, come on, shit!

The Kumagai police intercepted this address to Lee Yamaguchi. Contained an

international money order the equivalent of 100 quid.

It's a post -it from London.

The internet checks out. They found a website called Amethyst. Rivers is

downloading it now.

Have you found his daughter?

I'm doing it now.

It's one of the London service providers. They'll have the name and

It's rooted in Greek mythology.

Ariadne died in childbirth and she was buried in Amethyst.

She finds herself wandering through the Vale of Misery, Hall of Faith. It's all

like Dungeons and Dragons bollocks.

She's trying to find other lost souls and to find them she has to part with

Heth, the blood of Heth.

And that's Heth. She's his darling of an ungiver.

What's an ungiver when it's at all?

A horse.

Thank you, Oxbridge.

So the players become amethysts in the real world, and they get rewarded with

money.

Have we got chapters one to four?

They must have been deleted.

I think we can expect a chapter six.

What are you doing here?

Congratulations.

How's Judith? She's fine, fine.

You look about 50, Dad.

What was she?

Seven pounds.

Cheap for a baby.

Don't tell me Enright's called you in. We can handle this. It's nothing. A

of nutters.

No, no, I asked if I could.

There's no point in sitting at home. They're going to keep her in for a few

days. Nothing wrong.

No, no, it's just routine.

She's fine.

Got it.

The Amethyst website was created by James Stoker.

22 Dunstan Terrace, White City.

Thank you.

Well, that was easy.

Game over.

There's no reply.

I talked to the man off. He said the curtains have been drawn since he moved

18 months back.

Never seen anyone going in or coming out. Never heard of a James Stoker.

Hey, John, slow down.

John, you shouldn't even be here. It's not as if we can charge this man with

anything. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can get back to some

work. Now, go round the back.

Look upstairs.

Cherries. Never heard of it.

Well, it's definitely one of yours. I need some information on the tenant,

Stover. I do. If I haven't heard of it, that's a good sign.

Means he pays his rent on time.

That's work for me.

Hey, mind you, this is a confidential issue. You've got permission.

Well, we could go away and get a warrant, which means we'll be back at,

ten o 'clock?

So you don't mind working late? Oh, fuck that. What was the name again?

James.

What's it doing? That wasn't me.

It's the virus.

Got to be triggered by the address.

That wasn't me. I didn't do nothing.

Cryman. Jonathan. Are you in the house? There's nothing here.

It's been empty for months.

Get out of the house. Jonathan's waiting for it.

Part of the game is under control.

Grab his left arm.

Let's get him out of here.

Come on.

Come on out.

Request urgent assistance.

22 Dunstan Terrace.

Ambulance and fire services.

Officer down.

Bastard.

Bastard!

It's all a fake. The name, the address, everything.

We're legally entitled to shut the website down.

And then we'll lose him.

And just disappear and start off Amethyst under a different name.

A couple of months, a couple of years, it will happen again.

Take that to forensics. Get it analysed.

Analysed for what?

How should I know?

Oh, pleasure to see you, Jack.

When did I get any coursework off you?

Christmas.

Five minutes and I'm locking up.

The domain's not good. I need a proper address.

This year would be nice.

Have Cardinal. Yeah, he'll be all right.

There's a flash fire. Burnt his hand.

Comes towards a lot worse. He's in intensive care.

That was the message we were sent to Amherst three minutes ago.

We're asking for Chapter 6.

Get right quick as you can. We've got the address.

Fieldham Park.

Sixth Form College.

Do you have personal logins?

You don't, no.

I unlock the network every Monday morning and it's left until Friday

We've had instability problems.

Technically speaking, these machines are crap.

Great. So we can't tell who's using which computer?

You're going to have to introduce passwords straight away.

We need to get this lot under control.

Right, start from scratch then. We're looking at a gang of three.

Or three from a larger gang.

Preferably anyone taking computer studies or with access to this lot.

That's all of them.

Anyone can use these computers for any subject.

How many students have you got? About 400.

Any with a criminal record?

About 400.

Staff got access?

Yes, if they want.

We couldn't narrow it down to those people without a home computer.

Not necessarily.

When everything's traceable on the net, the players will know that.

They'll use the school network to hide themselves.

We're going to have to talk to them all.

Can you arrange that?

Not much to do around here.

What do you get up to in the evenings?

You asking me that?

Hey, Wigsy, she's asking me that.

What do you do, hang out with your mates?

Hey, Wigsy, she's asking about you. She wants a pair of us.

Look, I'll tell you what.

Tonight, outside in a car park, 8 o 'clock, I'll show you what I can do.

Fine. You, 8 o 'clock, your mate, 8 .01.

What's that mean?

Work it out.

English, French, English, biology, IT, geography.

That is a lot of villain.

Recess.

Tough going.

Lost it to you.

I bet you passed your exam. I did, yeah.

So?

And then you end up in the league.

One box for another.

What do you mean?

Student, copper, husband, father.

One box after the other.

Right, Jack. You know, I need these three places.

Okay, Fiona, do you know any of these places? Gorse Farm, West Kingsden,

Collinswood Stables, Monkshawton, John Jericho Stables, Alston.

No.

Is that it?

Come on, try again. Got any more on that list?

Just those three.

You're still here?

Right, thanks.

Mike?

Look at him.

The injured hero.

You've got us lucky, John. We've been in the back of beyond.

400 suspects. And guess where they were on Friday night?

A rave. So they've all got an alibi. All up their heads. Can't remember a thing.

He's dead.

Albury. The constable at Dunstan Terrace died this afternoon.

Shit.

Sorry.

It wasn't my fault.

I didn't mean it.

Look, I'm sorry, all right. Well, we'll get him.

James Stoker.

Crack these kids, they'll lead us to him.

We must have a profile of Stoker from what we've got.

He built that bomb that narrows it down.

Oh, it's fuel oil and ammonium nitrate.

The sort of thing anybody can pick up on the net. Doesn't mean he's clever.

OK, we know there's technology.

We're at six o 'clock. Work is over.

Ah, the regime.

Give it a week.

Have you had a good look at Jonathan Kreitman?

He's just had a kid. He's still here. Me?

I've got a party.

I'd have invited you, but it might be a bit too wild.

Where are you from?

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I

don't

know.

If the mum's ever drunk the moon, they're worse than the moon.

It was all those students.

All looking the same. All 17, 18 -year -olds all looking miserable and

All sounded like me. Oh, you said it. Yeah, not anymore.

No more late nights.

It's not done by six. It's tough.

I'm even switching the mobile off when I leave the office.

Good. About time.

I could almost believe you.

I hear you.

I hear you. I'm honest, I am.

Where's your phone?

Don't want to shame you.

No, it's still on. Here's a chance, Kerry. Oh, how do you do this?

Oh.

You're all mine.

Should have done this years ago. Yeah.

It's not too late, though, is it?

This one's lost a piece of cake and this one needs a loop.

Well, we've run out of cakes, but it's like your mum ate it all. Then her.

Three

tight.

Not four.

Because you didn't do it, did you, Vince?

I haven't got the nerve.

Where did you get it from?

Where did you get the blood?

I did this.

I gave you my own blood, Jack.

I hurt no one but myself.

That's no good.

That's not in the rules. Shut up, you. Anyone could do that. That's not fair.

Shut up!

It may be the same.

If you'd come and told us, then maybe we'd have understood.

Yeah, how?

We're not supposed to meet up. That's the rule.

I gave you amethyst.

I gave you the reward.

And all the time, you were like... I can't come back, Vince.

You're lost.

I don't want to come back.

I've had enough.

I'm getting out.

I'm going away from you, from that house.

Why, into the crowd?

Poor Vince.

Losing himself in the crowd.

Parents, teachers, employees, they look at the crowd and they label them. They

put them in nice little boxes.

And do you know why?

Well, I can know them.

No one knows us.

We're beyond control, Vince.

We're invisible.

But we're not. The police are here, Jack.

They're here.

They know nothing.

Nothing!

Not until one of us tells them.

You could point us out.

Then we are a part of the crowd.

We're nothing.

We go back to being nothing.

I'm not going back to that.

I'm never going back.

Amethyst says the best should move on.

Those that fail just get left behind.

Well,

Amethyst isn't here.

It was only me.

There's a moth.

It's Cyril, isn't it?

How do you know that?

I saw it in the clouds.

Did you?

It's different today. It's all red and green.

Did you see it? Red and green and red.

How did you get in here?

Cregan.

He's gone to get me a Pepsi.

Has he got lots of Cyril tucked away, or are you the only friend he's got?

There's you.

I don't know about that. I think I'm just a colleague.

The shoe.

You only had this. Health drink.

It's pop.

Morning, Inspector Taylor.

Good party?

It was interesting.

No, don't tell me. Copped off.

Might have.

Sir, you're going to have to bugger off.

Enright wants us back at Field and Cross.

What for?

Kid's gone missing.

Vince Wilson.

It's all right. I've said it now. Red and green. She's seen it too. Red and

green.

What's this rubbish?

Orders from the police.

From now on, you need an individual password.

And my name's Miss Jackson, not Oi.

Porn. That's what they're after.

Porn. I've never found it. It's all a con.

Enright's told you once. Go home.

I'll come with you.

It's all waiting at home.

The cot and the toys and the rubbish.

It's all just waiting till they're home.

I'd rather be doing something.

To fill it home.

We've lost Amethyst. Two o 'clock.

What do you mean? Shut up.

How can we lose her? She said in chapter six of the day. Mo, tell me. They've

put on passwords.

We try and read it, though I know it first.

So what are we going to do? Two o 'clock, you dull little twat.

Two o 'clock.

Now piss off.

I'll take this lock back to Minso Rose, see what I can resurrect.

You know what they're like.

Don't tell you a thing.

He goes out some nights, comes back drunk. I don't know who he's with.

Did he mention anyone at all?

You think he's dead, don't you?

All this.

You think he's dead.

belongs to Vince.

His mother's come up with a name as well, Mo.

The girl he used to mention. That's all she knows. No surname.

They've analysed the envelope sent to Lee Yamaguchi.

The dress panel's impregnated with LSD.

Chapter 6, sir.

Stoker's in there right now.

What country is he in?

He's coming through the London service provider, but he could be anywhere in

world. We're tracing him.

British mainland, sir. And he's using a laptop and a mobile phone. It's going to

take a while to get a fix.

Gone down, sir. Couldn't trace it. Look, the players are waiting for Chapter 6.

They must know when Stoker delivers.

They can't use the school computers.

If they go somewhere else, we can trace it.

It's describing something called the Long Walk, at the end of which there's a

final text, a hominid, a human being.

What's the instruction?

Scar them?

No.

It says kill.

What have we got?

No student by the name of Moe or Maury.

Someone's opened up Amethyst, one of the players.

Named Jack McCaffrey. Teacher saw him leaving at midday. Lives at the Plough

Public House, charter house yard, about 10 miles away.

School disco last summer.

Boy named Gareth Constantino started hallucinating.

Claims Jack spiked his drink with acid.

No charges. Nothing proven. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Frank just said there is a girl called Mo.

Fiona Morrison, it's her surname.

Where's she now?

I don't know. Could be in Lessons for a Fire.

We've got identification.

The name's Jack.

McCaffrey. The plateau.

Charterhouse Yard. Yeah. Thanks, Mark. Tell me something new.

Police.

We're looking for Jack McCaffrey. Where is he?

Something real, Craig.

Hmm?

Someone.

We can walk into this world and change it.

Leave a change forever.

I mean, they all think that we're nothing.

We'd rather be nothing. Yeah, wanna go back down?

Your father's dead, Craig.

Your mother wants you sitting there, a copy of him.

That's all in one of us.

Copies.

Growing old and dying and everything.

Take a walk, right?

Do something that no one has ever done before.

Twenty stars for the journey.

Carrying a sword.

Then find the hominid and kill.

But who?

It's not like a horse. Who am I supposed to find? You'll know them when you see

them.

You'll know them when you see them.

One of the crowd, Crane.

A face in the crowd.

What if I can't?

You'll do it.

They're just kids.

Jack's 17.

17's a kid. He's just a kid.

Ah, shit.

I had this yesterday.

Three sets of lights before the turn -off. Hit this one in red.

They're all red.

I can beat them.

You don't have to prove anything.

Let's just get there in one piece.

They're just kids screaming.

Whatever they become, we made them.

If they're clever, we made them clever.

And if their heads are full of shit, we made them full of shit.

Because who have they got? Who have they got except us?

That's our job. The only job that counts.

Carving out a world that they can live in.

Everything we do is for them.

And we've got to be fast.

We've got to stay ahead.

Jonathan, please, slow down.

We've got to be fast. I'm telling you to slow down.

We've got to be fast or we're letting them down.

Blood vision, you heard of that?

If you go so fast, the blood comes up over your eyes, everything's red.

We've got to be fast.

Yes!

Yes!

What are you playing at, man?

It's oxygen, they said.

I don't know. They told me and I'm listening, but it's not going in.

Something to do with oxygen.

But, uh...

Starved of oxygen in the head.

Damaged in the head.

Well, she's breathing, she's living, but she's just meat.

A sack of meat.

Hasn't even got the sense to die.

I made that.

It's no one else's fault. It's mine.

And she'll never know all the things I've done

to keep her safe.

All she's got is a head full of shit.

I did it for her.

Ronald Hinks.

Killed him to make her safe.

I thought I was better than him.

I couldn't understand the man who wanted the children dead.

I do now.

Now then, when you sing.

Nodding when you see them.

Next time on Mystery.

We're taking instructions from a guy who can't even do his own dirty work. Why'd

you do this to the body?

Make your mark.

This signature's been used before.

What, 10, 15 years ago? Two brutal murders mirror the past.

They're copying the crimes you committed in 82.

We think they've been instructed by somebody who knows your case inside out.

Touching Evil on Mystery.
