MAN: I feel like the world's broken.

I never used to think that.

I never really thought about it, I suppose.

These days, I just feel a total absence of joy in my life.

I look at my children, or...

just random people walking down the street

and I want to shake them.

I mean... don't they realise it's over?

JOKER: Do you think the world was fixed before?

MAN: No, of course not.

It takes something like this to make you realise

how everything is ruined.

Are you referring to the relationship with your wife?

What I did...

What they asked me to do...

it changed everything.

I'm wondering, when you say the world is broken

maybe...

you're referring to something that is broken inside of you?

It's like you haven't listened to a word I've been saying.

What I did...

it can't be undone.

And as a direct consequence

the world has changed.

Everything's changed, because of what I did.

Team 21 to Team 11, do you read me? Over.

Leave it. I don't wanna talk to them.

I should probably just, you know, acknowledge.

We read you, 21.

I know that Ruby's pissed off

but can you please ask her to at least talk to us?

Tell her to go fuck herself.

That's a... a negative.

Definitely a negative.

Come on, Ruby.

Look, we're only three places behind you.

If you get them to pull over, we can pick you up in five minutes.

Can you stop them from talking?

ROMAN: Yeah. Sure.

UNIT BEEPS - Thanks.

So, Ruby...

Why did you decide to take part in the race?

Let's not do this.

Do what?

You ask me lots of questions and pretend to be interested in what I say

and then I pretend to be interested in you

then we bond and learn from each other

I mean, it's just such total bullshit.

I'm sorry, but it is.

Excuse me.

We've just lost both our parents.

You could at least pretend to give a shit.

I'm sorry.

Your mum seemed like a really good woman.

Wherever she is, I hope she's at peace.

SHE SPLUTTERS

Oh, my God, that's...

Mum!

ROMAN: She's alive!

What's she doing on the roof?

Team 11 to Team, er... Awesome.

Thanks for picking up our mum.

If you can just pull over at the side of the road

that'd be awesome!

JOKER: Sorry, old bean, I don't think that's a very good idea.

Probably gonna be hard for you to hear, so you better sit down.

Fact of the matter is... - JENNY GROANS

your mum's had it.

She's been bitten, see.

Sure she was a very nice person.

She seemed like it.

Think of the good times.

ROMAN: Can we just talk to her, please?

They wanna talk to her. - Why?

They wanna talk to her befo... - No, no.

They wanna talk to her before she, well, y'know, changes.

I'm... - Don't worry. I got this.

JENNY GROANS

Hiya.

Your little kids wanna speak to you, by the way.

MEG: We love you, Mum.

You have to keep going.

I was bitten.

I'm sorry I can't come with you, but...

you're gonna win this race and you're gonna make me

and your dad proud.

And when you get to that island, you're gonna make something of yourself.

Meg - you'll be OK.

Zane's a good man. He loves you.

Start a family together

but make sure you get a career first.

And Roman...

it doesn't matter if you're gay.

It doesn't make me love you any less.

Wait a minute, Mum, I'm not gay. - We love you too, Mum.

JENNY: You have to keep going.

And if you get scared

just remember.

I'm right here with you.

You just have to close your eyes and remember all the good times

that we had together.

Cos they were the happiest days of my life.

That's the most beautifulest thing I ever heard in my life.

Such a nice lady, man.

Overtake them, Zane.

Don't look back, Roman.

JENNY COUGHS AND GROANS Whaddaya mean?

She's hulking out like a motherfucker up there.

Well, I'm just saying there could be another reason, that's all.

What did you give her?

Nothing.

Just gave her a drink...

before putting her on the roof.

Where's the acid?

How much did you give her?

Less than half.

JENNY RETCHES - OK, all of it.

And the mescaline...

And ease Jenny's pain, of course.

Fair enough.

I dunno, I took mescaline in Mexico City once.

Maybe the real monster is inside of you.

You're not ready to go back to... she's not ready to go back to her family.

Yet here you are...

I thought I was gonna turn into one of those things.

But it was just a scratch.

What's interesting is that you immediately thought you were a monster.

You clearly felt more comfortable embracing death

than continuing to struggle for survival

and I think that's very interesting as well.

I don't care if you think that's interesting.

I want to get out of this madhouse and protect my children.

Doctor Jones...

Are you sure you wanna protect your children? - OK, you need to let me out, right now.

I need to be with them.

EL CAPITANO: Doctor Jones. - Then why did you reject them?

I didn't reject them.

Why aren't you letting me talk... - Oh, Doctor Jones!

What is it?

Just when we were starting to make progress.

What?

Something smells... fishy.

Should I break out the breathing apparatus?

No, no, no. We may need that later.

Either bonfires out of control, or...

may be there's some sort of contestant-related skullduggery.

And I'll bet dollars for donuts I can guess which.

You're in the central Brookeheath Administrative Building.

I'm well aware of your breadth of knowledge and experience, Helen

so I'm going to be completely transparent with you.

You've been infected.

You've been in a period of suspended animation for a long period of time.

Process hasn't resolved in you, I don't know why

but to revive you, I've administered a dose of dexamfetamine.

What dose have you given me?

Two hundred milligrams.

Now, as I'm sure you're aware

the side effects of such a large dose are extreme.

Not to mention illegal.

Well, we've lost a lot of restrictions since the outbreak

of the November 13th virus.

UNDERHILL: I want to know about one of your former patients

Michael Garwick.

CLOCK TICKS

MAN: I don't see myself as a bad man.

People can say what they want.

I was the wrong guy in the wrong place in the wrong time.

Some might say that the people in the wrong place

were those living in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Look, I did what I did

to save the people living in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Yeah, but it didn't, did it?

Well, history can be the judge of that.

We did what we had to do.

And, and we will keep doing it.

I'm, I'm wondering about, um...

the feelings of guilt

you mentioned in our last session.

I'd like to get back to that.

It wasn't my idea to employ strategic weapons in Scotland, but...

extreme situations call for extreme measures.

The attempt to contain the virus may not have worked

but it was calculated risk.

Do you think that the new measures are necessary?

I thought you weren't supposed to express an opinion.

I'm not - you expressed reservations about the curfew on previous occasions.

I'm sick of people moaning about civil liberties.

The virus has to be contained.

If that means changing the way we live our lives

then I'm sorry, but that's what we've got to do.

People want the curfew.

They want to be safe.

Is that so bad?

Time's up.

Yet every week you sit there, saying nothing...

silently passing judgment on me.

I know you say you don't...

but I can see it in your eyes.

Maybe we should cover that in our next session.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm freer than you.

I know who you are.

You were a normal guy.

But after the curfew, you went crazy.

My son showed me your videos on the internet.

You're the guys who film themselves

doing stupid stunts and then post it all online.

Hear that, Cheese? She's a fan of the show.

Would you like a badge?

Cos I've got badges, y'know. Look at this, eh?

Look at this, there! That's for you, babes, that one.

You act like you're crazy but you're putting it on.

You're just as scared as me.

All this mad bullshit is a defence.

You spend your time listening to crap music and drinking cocktails

making out that life's just a game and nothing really matters.

Well, I'm sorry, but it does.

It does matter.

On the contrary...

we're living the dream.

Life is a joke, and death...

is to be embraced, not feared.

And it's not polite to criticise music you do not understand.

You're the one that's scared of life.

That's why you don't take it seriously.

You're too scared to feel anything

so don't talk to me about my feelings.

I'd like to get back to your children.

Why you abandoned them.

At a time when they needed you most.

Now, we know for a fact that Michael Garwick was injected

with an early strain of the virus

in the trials that you oversaw.

Now, there must be something in his plasma cells

that blocks the surface proteins from entering white blood cells.

Do you know how many people were killed by smallpox in the 20th century?

Five hundred million.

And how many have died of it since 1979?

None, because it's been eradicated.

And how did Edward Jenner achieve this?

You realise that milkmaids infected with cowpox were immune to the disease.

He carefully examined the background history

of a specific specimen selection

that were displaying the results he was looking for.

Are you saying I need to look deeper into the patient's medical history?

I'm saying that whatever caused him to produce antibodies

happened before the trial began.

The key lies in his past.

But why are you so bothered, Mr Underhill?

The people you're working for don't want a cure.

They're only interested in one thing...

That they'd do better without me.

I'd slow them down, be too cautious...

not take the risks they needed to to win.

That's right. And what is it you're afraid of losing?

Why are you so scared of risk?

I'm not scared of losing.

I wanted it to be a bite.

That's how my husband died.

I wanted to join him.

Keep going.

I didn't want to see my children killed in a crash or...

I wanted to die before they did.
