Original subtitles

I can't... remember what I did.

Most of the town can, if you ever want filling in.

SCREAMS

RIYA: Tell me about Mehmet.

Did something happen that wasn't meant to happen?

I want out. There is no out!

Just arrested a man today

for a crime he may or may not have committed.

What happened in the forest, John? I saw things.

What are you hiding, Nina Karlsson?

It's in the paperwork. When you sign, you sign.

AUDIOBOOK: 'That's what the black rocks are,

'the fear we carry around with us.'

DISTORTED SCREAM

The judges'll be here in a couple of days.

We haven't won this since 2011.

Enough. I've had enough.

The day of the attack, did you drink with anyone?

No. I mean, apart from Jakub, no-one. Jakub was there?

On some of the notes, there were some stains...

..like oil.

Now!

MACHINE BEEPS

Why didn't you come forward, Jakub? I had no choice.

An innocent man rotted in prison because of you.

You lied to me, to his family, to the whole town.

You sat on silence for five years!

You have any idea the pain that this has caused?

I was told it would be my word against the town's.

Told by who? It's not as simple as that...

Just fucking say! I can't just say!

I am not from this town,

and my word counts for nothing here. God.

You know what, Jakub, I've got all day and all night.

We're not going anywhere until you talk to me.

WOMAN: Nice little Vicky sponge for the judges.

Bit of buttercream, bit of jam. Winning!

Keep up the hard work. Not long to go now.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

MARK: Morning!

Only four this week, Mark. OK, love.

Stitching weren't right on t'others.

Five there, Mark. Ta, love.

Well, you know what he wants, don't you? Jakub.

He wants you to be the better person,

to forgive and forget.

Well, we're not in the business for forgetting,

are we... Ed?

Five years he took off us! What are you gonna take off him?

No. DOORBELL RINGS

You have got to be kidding me. DOORBELL RINGS

You got one of these? Just reading it now.

What the hell. Closin' the bread factory, Jo.

What do they mean "with immediate effect"? Today.

They close the factory,

that's half the town out of work, simple as.

I was supposed to be on a late today.

That's 85 quid. What you gonna do, Mum?

Oh, cry? Shit myself?

I mean... even the overall's wage is not enough to make rent.

We're all poor. "With immediate effect."

Sausage roll, bit of Battenberg, can't beat it, can you?

WOMAN: They're here.

They're closin' bread factory, Linda. Bag of shit, this place.

Ha, Geoff, such a kidder.

BRIGHTLY: Welcome to Chadder Vale! Hope you found us OK.

Well, there's quite a few potholes, but apart from that...

We're all alive and well... LINDA CHUCKLES

Tina! Is this some kind of joke?

This town is full of people that let you down

and are twisted fucking liars.

..full of spirit and optimism.

None of 'em are gonna get away with it.

None of them! MAN: I got kids to feed!

MAN: How am I supposed to pay my rent?

WOMAN: Got bills to pay. Where's Derek? We want answers.

ALL CHANTING: Where is Derek? We want answers!

Where is Derek? We want answers!

Where is Derek?

Hello? Why's it say we're closed?

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Is this a joke?

What the hell's going on?

THUD

I fuckin' hate churches.

They do a good window, though, no?

You look like crap, Derek. Everything going all right?

You see, there are consequences to all this, Derek...

..consequences that reach far beyond your tiny mind.

If this gets out... all of us...

..we'll be rotting in a cell somewhere,

drinking our chicken Kiev's through a fucking straw.

We're closing the factory, Derek, with immediate effect.

HE EXHALES SHAKILY

Jakub, the town has had nightmares about this.

The only person

that can help us figure out why this happened is you.

You don't understand. It's not that simple.

Nothing is what it looks like in this town.

Just tell us what you know.

They said the attack was part of something bigger.

I don't know why.

To get rid of Jim? To close down the fracking site?

Threatened to ruin everything I'd built.

So someone blackmailed you?

I feared for my life, kept my mouth shut.

I didn't know what to do.

Ooh. DOOR SLAMS

Bit early for filth.

You here to fight?

Could say that. Well...

..it'll have to be me.

How are you with dates, Tony?

What's your memory like? Fine.

The night of Jim's attack.

Let's start with that one. What about it?

Why'd you do it?

HE INHALES Do what?

Tell me why you did it.

I don't talk to filth.

No, I'm not here as filth.

Filth have protocol.

I'm here as me. That is far worse.

Who told you to do it? Spill the beans, did he?

Who? Your little Polish friend.

That was his mistake...

..falling for filth.

They'll come for him.

I'm still waiting for a reason, Tony.

You're forever searching for reasons, aren't you?

You're fucking hopeless.

HE EXCLAIMS, GRUNTS

Fucking hell! HE GROANS

Jeez. HE GRUNTS

HE GROANS

What about the workers? What do I tell 'em?

Letters have been dispatched,

floating down onto their cheap little doormats as we speak.

It's done, Derek. Finished.

I've sweated for this.

My family have worked hard for it.

This isn't fair. Fuck fair, Derek.

I've lost my brother for this.

You just don't get to end it. I already have.

All of this has happened on your watch, Derek.

Failure after failure. Which I'll sort!

Sort? You let it escape.

I had to send eight of my own into the forest

to put it back where it belongs, all because you

and your shithouse brother were incapable.

Well, we just took our eye off, that's all, made some mistakes...

Are you talking about the girl missing mistake?

Are you talking about the boy dying mistake?

You see, had you followed protocol, Derek,

no-one would've found out about Mehmet.

He signed the paperwork. He knew the risks.

They all know the risks when they pay their six grand.

No-one needed to know,

but for some... idiotic, inexplicable reason,

you laid him out at the fracking site,

nice little buffet of evidence for the police to feast on.

We just thought we could frame Jim,

get the fracking site closed down like you've always wanted.

Yet again, you didn't think it through,

just like the Jim saga five years ago,

so I had to get a government ban to stop the fracking

because you trust idiots like Tony to do your dirty work.

Not long now, Derek, until it all comes back to you.

You've let too many people... get too close to the truth.

We had a chance, Derek...

to take our anxiety-ridden youth and give them purpose,

to turn all those hours sitting at a keyboard into a strength,

entice them with the prize, then recruit their minds.

We had a chance, Derek...

..and you pissed all over it.

I just got distracted.

This is life and death. There's no room for distraction.

Just... HE SNIFFS

Just... Just... Just give me... give me one more chance.

A chance?

All right, Derek, I'll cut you a deal.

What? HE EXHALES

You wanna keep your factory?

Put your big boy pants on, trundle down there,

and face it yourself.

This is your big moment, Derek. All eyes on you.

It could kill me. I dare say it could.

But empty your pockets of all those black rocks

and you might stand a chance.

No, no, no, no, no, no... SOBBING: ..please.

You OK, boss?

Tony's up there.

Thought you could escort him to the station.

Will do.

You know, guys, these last five years...

..I've been walking around like I'm the Big I Am...

..and Eddie's been sat in a box.

I spent my life searching all the wrong places.

What's it all been for, eh? Just pointless.

At least you search, boss. At least you try. Yeah.

I'm done with this place...

..with its quirks and curses.

Time to pack a bag.

You're not due to leave for another week, boss.

Might as well get down early.

Maybe get some therapy, find out why I'm such a dick.

What about all the unanswered questions, boss?

This place doesn't want them answered.

I've learnt a lot from you, boss.

Unlearn it.

Your instincts are far better than mine.

Mine are shit. Riya...

..did you ever... really like us?

Superstars, you two. Absolute qual.

Gutted.

I made a list...

..of all the loose ends cos...

..curse or no curse,

there's something ain't right with this town.

She's not wrong about that, is she?

So, we've concluded our inspection, and I'll cut right to it, Linda.

It's a fail... GASPS

..on several counts. Oh.

Condition of verges, playgrounds, frontages, hedges and surrounds.

Well, it's all pretty horrific, to be honest with you.

You've barely scored a three.

It's our place, this.

You don't get to say it's horrific.

I didn't invite you here to say that.

Not everything works out the way we want it to.

Is that right? Mm-hm.

Well, let me tell you something about Chadder Vale.

It's real, yeah, and it fucking makes us happy.

JUDGE SCOFFS

You know, you shouldn't take this personally.

You shouldn't wear yellow. It makes you look ill.

LAUGHTER Right, so, that's a three.

But, then, you know, we're still smiling, aren't we?

Still got it. CLAPPING

Come on, that's the sprit, yeah, yeah.

"Condition of verges", Bev. What's a verge?

No idea. Exactly.

SHE EXHALES

SHE SCREAMS

OBJECTS CLATTER

Is Linda gonna interrogate him at all? Not today.

Ali, about that list you've got, the unanswered questions...

Yeah? Remember that video game I told you about?

The Nina one. Yeah?

I went back on the forums that her and Mehmet were on.

Everyone's playing it, everyone's talking about it.

All right. But it doesn't stop there.

This... game that Nina's got, it's really not all that.

SHEEP BAA

What time's your bus?

Soon.

Why'd you have to go?

I can't stay here.

I want more from life than Chadder.

Once I'm set up in Manchester,

and I've got a bit of coin and that...

..I'm gonna take us all to Spain.

Spain? Yeah, she'd love a bit of Spain, wouldn't she?

She's got nothing, has she?

Less than nothing.

You know that penny jar thing in the cupboard? Mm?

You know that's pennies she's collected

from floors of like cafes and stuff?

Would Dad come?

Now knowing he never did it...

..think it'd be nice if he did.

VICKY: I know you like to talk a big man's talk...

..but you're only little.

Barely know your way in the world.

Katie's leaving today, John.

Your Katie.

JOHN: Katie!

John?

I don't say it much, but I fucking love you.

But I belong in Chadder Vale.

So, erm...

I-I'm gonna let you be.

John?

Why d'you think I'm goin' Manchester, John? Think.

She don't go for lads like you.

It's not for the job, is it? Lads with no head and no heart.

Please come. I don't want to.

I-I don't really care. Yes, you do. You do care.

You're interested... in life. Just admit it!

You wanna be someone.

You were born nothing. You are nothing.

Face what you're afraid of.

Get on the bus with me. Come on.

Fucking dodging feathers, son. LAUGHTER

No.

God, you're so scared. It's my life. My life is here.

What life?

VICKY: Wake up, John.

John? Please, wake up.

Jesus, you're a proper hacker, Ali.

I prefer detective.

How are you figuring this out?

Cos I don't think of codes as numbers,

I think of 'em as words... sentences.

What are they trying to say?

What ARE they trying to say?

I hope that they're gonna tell me where Nina's profile is

and how we get into this version of the game.

Need a hand?

I'm good.

What happened?

They hit something on a forest road.

Course they did.

I'm sorry, Riya.

For? Being a coward.

I wanted you to think of me as...

..so much more than that.

Thanks for lending me the car.

Been a good mate.

And thanks for letting me kip here.

You snore.

Who does? You do.

You'll shut your face.

I'll miss our chats.

Same.

I'll leave you to it.

That it?

Not gonna wait for my cab?

And draw this shit out any longer?

Not really.

Look, Riya, I lied to everyone because I wanted to protect myself,

and that was a shit move.

It was selfish. It was.

And I am selfish...

and grumpy... and stubborn...

..and irritable and opinionated.

And you're the same.

So maybe... if you're willing to forgive me...

..we should try being irritable together.

I don't belong here.

And who the fuck does?

I'm tired of all this "belong" shit.

It's not about what pint you drink or fucking... accent.

It's all the other stuff.

Such as?

You love someone, you belong.

And that's your place.

And that's where you're meant to be.

I'm going to head to The Dog.

I'll have a drink waiting for you...

..if you change your mind.

I won't.

I know.

Should it take this long?

Not really.

How often do you go on the dark web? Too often.

Who's that?

Boyfriend.

You never said. You never asked.

Is it a problem? No. God, no.

Does he have a name?

Damon...

..as in Matt.

He's amazing.

Look, Pangaea. That's the company Mehmet paid money to.

Nina. Bingo.

"Start your journey to a better life."

BOTH: Oh, my God.

What are you looking at?

Coordinates. Just don't make any sense.

Why? Where's it telling us to go?

The bread factory.

Let's go.

SQUEAKING

SHE SIGHS What are you doing here?

Have you been at the ring?

When you came into the church, you did that...

little stumble, do you remember?

Wasn't the entrance you wanted, but I just thought...

..you were breath-taking.

And in your vows, you said something about...

me being "your bear".

Do you remember that?

Made me feel all, er...

..more than I was.

That was us at the top.

Bang. Couldn't get any higher.

When after that, parts went missing.

The making you laugh part, the making you smile part.

Derek, I...

I-I know you wanted the factory to be a success,

and it was failing, and I think, maybe, er...

..you were embarrassed.

And-And the more I felt that, that you were embarrassed,

the more desperate I became.

I-I just... wanted you to see me.

So... I made a decision.

Took certain steps, difficult steps.

And in time, I got the bigger house and the bigger car.

You became obsessed with money and work and success.

And I never saw you, Derek. You were at work all the time.

You made yourself believe that that's what I wanted. It wasn't.

I just wanted to...

..sit down and watch a film with you.

You said you've done it all for me, but you didn't.

You did it all for you.

DOOR SHUTS

RIYA: Won't be two minutes, Geoff.

No rush.

You moving on? Was only ever passing through.

That's what I said in 1976.

Three kids later... Heh.

Your lad in hiding? What?

Your lad. Angry mob. They're looking for him at The Dog.

Xenophobic twats.

ALI: Why's everything shut? Dunno.

Bank holiday? It's not a bank holiday, Nish.

I'm in!

Up? Down.

You sure we're meant to be under the bread factory?

I've checked the co-ordinates three times, Nish.

This is definitely the place.

This is weird.

What did it mean, "A journey to a better life"?

What exactly are we looking for? Got no idea.

I mean, did Nina meet someone here for instructions?

Did she... she collect summat?

What, like snacks?

A couple of crumpets for the journey (?)

Yeah, but what is the journey? Like, where did they go from here?

That's all I wanna know. I mean...

What made Mehmet steal from his family?

What made him risk his life? What put Nina on that plane?

Pangaea. No way. Way.

How do we get in?

Codes.

This is properly exciting.

Yeah, it's a rush, in't it? It's like Doc Martin.

It's a bit fucking better than Doc Martin, Nish.

ARGUING FROM INSIDE

God, do they ever shut up?

Mike, where is he?

They wanted to teach him a lesson. Top of Chadder.

MAN: Go on. Go on, Ed. Fucking whack him, mate!

MEN SHOUT, GRUNT

EDDIE: Get out my way. Come here! JAKUB: Eddie...

MAN: Fucking 'ave it. Take his fucking head off!

EDDIE BELLOWS

Fucking hit him!

Eddie, stop! Stop! They blackmailed him!

It wasn't his fault. Eddie, please!

Please, stop! Or what, eh? Or what?

I need an ambulance. I need an ambulance here now!

Top of Chadder at the viewpoint.

Eddie, I got it wrong.

I got it wrong. And it's my fault. Mine!

Jakub's a victim. Like Jim, like you.

I'm sorry, I... For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for how this town has treated you.

I'm sorry for how I've treated you. I'm sorry.

I should have done a better job.

I shouldn't have taken five years from you.

If you wanna stick a bottle in someone,

stick it in me.

It's not Jakub's fault.

HE GRUNTS

SHE PANTS

ALI: Shit.

You OK? Yeah.

DEREK SOBS

I can't do it. I won't do it.

I'm not going down there! I won't do it!

You can't make me go down there!

ALI: This is it.

NISH: What the hell?

DOOR SHUTS

MELISSA: Welcome, Player. This time, the game is real.

If you win, a life-changing prize awaits.

If you fail... Well, better to dare greatly, no?

Your journey begins through that little door on your right.

Only those who are prepared to face their darkest fears

will make it out the other side.

"Welcome to..."

It's the game.

We won't say "good luck"...

..cos luck... will have nothing to do with it.

WOMAN: I'm the one that runs the house.

MAN: You're forever droning on. Yeah, well, it's bleeding hard work.

Yeah, well, it's hard doing what I do. Oh, is it?

I'm on my feet seven days a week,

up at five in the piss-cold weather...

Yeah, then you spend it all on booze, at the dogs and shite!

And rent, so you've got a nice house to put all your crap in

and all your shite!

Without my wage, you'd be on your arse.

Oh, is that right?

'It's not a game, this.' 'Oh, you what?'

'I said, it's not a game...' ARGUING STOPS

MELISSA: I devised an experiment, Passenger...

that would help tease young people out of their caves

and put them back on the main stage,

harnessing all those unique gaming skills

and putting them to use.

If we can bring all your fears to the fore,

maybe, just maybe, you'll emerge stronger.

We need Riya.

HE SOBS

PHONE RINGS

PARAMEDIC: Are you coming?

ALI: 'We found it, boss.' Found what?

Look, you were right. You were right all along, boss.

Erm... We-We know where-where Mehmet and where Nina went.

It's all connected, boss. Just like you said.

These, erm... weapons are real, Ali.

It-It's a game, boss.

'What-What do you mean? Where are you?'

I've got to close up. We're going!

'They're playing a game, but it's real.

'It's like full-on. Fucked up!'

'What's happening, Ali? I don't understand.'

BANG Fuck!

What were that?

Ali, I don't like this!

Time is ticking.

BANG, ROAR

What were that? We need your help, boss.

Al? 'Boss, can you hear me?'

BANGING Fuck!

We're at the bread factory, under the bread factory.

'There's... trying to get in.' Ali?

'We're at the bread factory, the bread factory.'

Ali, can you hear me?

BANGING No. No, no, no, no.

We-We need to get out of here, Ali.

No, we've gotta get out of here, Ali!

Oh, fuck! 'Ali? Ali?'

It's locked. HE SCREAMS

It's locked. Fuck, fuck. Ali?

Shit. Fuck. I smell smoke.

Fuck. What do we do?

Choose wisely.

You have 60 seconds to take what you need...

and make your way to the start.

'Ali? Ali?'

HE HYPERVENTILATES

Hey. Hey.

Hey, stop. Look at me. Look at me.

How would you rate yourself, eh? As a gamer?

HE PANTS OK?

Six at best. You?

Ten.

We got this.

Have we?

Damn fucking right we have.

Come on!

Ali?
