MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE
Are you serious?

This is the worst thing
that's ever happened to me.

And bear in mind an old fiancee
left me for a taxi driver,

my mum is dead, and my doctor
recently described me

as "uniquely fat."

I'm parked outside the pub,
and you're telling me I can't go in?

My mouth is primed for beer,
my pint arm is pre-bent,

and you want me to go on
a night job?

I'll tell you what's an emergency -

me getting my gob round the soft
pastry of Mervyn's pie of the month.

What?

Venison.

What does that matter?!

Yeah, well, if I'm the best, why do
I keep getting the shitty jobs?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm on my way.

ENGINE STARTS

Ah! Well, I'm having a bloody pie.

Cheers.

Late-night spoodge clean?
Thanks for this.

I'm sorry you have to do your job.
Oh, yeah.

I bet no-one else was available.
Funny, that.

What are you on about, you knob?
Yeah, yeah, come on, what went down?

Oh, a store robbery gone wrong.

One dead, one critical.

Manager's around somewhere,
she'll fill you in.

Right piece of work she is.
You'll get on well.

Fine.

What is wrong with you?

Oh. Oh, you haven't heard?

We split up, me and Jules.

Oh, I hadn't, no. I'm really sorry.
Sure you are.

Well, maybe now you can nudge the
person that gives out the jobs.

Be nice to work near my house.
Or even, I don't know, in the day!

I don't have anything to do with
who gets the jobs. No.

Because the police never
send the jobs out, do they?

Hey, I'm a single loser now.
The punishment can stop.

Well, it's been lovely seeing you.

You off down the Horse?
Have a nice time.

Want me to text you when I'm done?

I don't want you to text me
full stop.

Right.

Well, that's me here all night.

Honestly, do these people
never go for a pint on a Friday?

What's so relaxing about murdering?
SHE GASPS

Oh.

Sorry, I'm from Lausen,
the cleaners.

This must've been very traumatic.
Yeah, it's a nightmare. Yeah.

A living nightmare.

I mean, look at this.
I can't sell this.

Well, don't worry.
I can clean that off.

Good luck using a pressure cooker
with a bullet hole in the lid.

I mean, if you think
it's worth a punt,

I can let you have it at 35%
markdown. Honestly?

I don't know what they do.

Well, they cook. Under pressure.

Well, if you're so clever,
what does "Wi-Fi" stand for, then?

Someone's gone quiet.

What will insurance have to say?
It's hardly force majeure, is it?

Two armed druggies on the rob.
Look at this.

This is a write-off as well.

Looks all right.
Wait.

MAN SPEAKS IN GERMAN

"Why am I returning it? Oh, it's got
blood on its central processor,

"and now it only plays German TV.

"Gunshot and blood damage isn't in
the warranty? I didn't think so."

I hear two of your colleagues
were hurt.

As in, one of them's, like, dead.

Oh, God, it's just awful.

I mean, I can replace Dolly
with Trent, no problem.

You know, he's flexible,
and Dolly was in training anyway.

But Johannes... Well, maybe he'll
be OK to come in tomorrow.

I mean, he was only shot twice.

Do you think he'll be all right
for a late shift? Of course not.

I'm pretty sure you can
rule Dolly out, too.

Oh.

Help yourself to water
in the staff room,

but please do not enter my office
under any circumstances.

Goodbye.
Bye.

Thanks for reminding me
why I never married. What?

Pressure, is it?

Aren't they clever these days?

NASAL BREATHING

All right?

NASAL BREATHING

I didn't think anyone
was working here tonight.

Awful, innit?

What happened.

Yeah. And it's about to get
a lot worse.

WHISPERING: This is just
the beginning.

THEY SPEAK IN GERMAN

NASAL BREATHING

All right?
Can I have that?

Oh. Yeah. God, of course.

Must be really...

Did you know her?
In as much as we know anyone.

Oh, right.
She wasn't a mate or anything?

HE CHUCKLES

Hmm, let me think.
She was the trainee sales staff,

and I'm the night shift
shelf stacker.

Doubt that, don't you? Doubt that
very much, thanks for asking.

Life goes on, eh?
What?

Like she was never here.

Well, if she hadn't panicked,
then she might be. Eh?

She ran directly for the emergency
exit like a headless chicken.

Panic makes people illogical.

And dead, it seems.
Pretty logical, innit?

If you're being chased by an armed
druggie, run for the exit.

Running directly in the line of fire
of a high-velocity weapon?

Hmm. Very sensible, very logical.

You remind me of a kid
I went to school with.

Yeah. He got expelled in the end

for deliberately drowning
the school lizard.

No, I'm sorry, I'm not a sheep.

WICKY SIGHS
What would you have done?

I would've just strangled it. Not
with the lizard, in this situation.

Freezer section.

This is a map of the warehouse.

What I'd do, I'd run up that door,
OK?

Up this parallel aisle. These
uprights provide perfect cover.

This isn't the first time
you've thought about this, is it?

Fascinating.
Do you want to live?

Yes, sorry, Liam Neeson, I do.
Go on.

What do you do next, then?
Because that is a dead end.

Oh, really?

You get inside the chest freezer.

WICKY SNORTS
That's it?

That's your great plan,
get into a freezer? Yeah.

They're not functional.
It's perfectly safe.

Lift up, barrel roll in.

He'll find you easily.
How? Do tell.

By lifting all the lids
of the freezers

until he found the one you were in,
you daft knob. Wrong!

You're presuming that
he's thinking logically.

He's panicking now, he thinks
he's lost you, right?

He's checking a maximum of
two freezers before he leaves.

There are 12 freezers here.

That leaves you an 83% chance
of survival.

I think Dolly would've taken
those odds, don't you?

YOU daft knob.

Well, I guess we'll never know.

GERMAN SPEAKERS ON TV

WHISPERING: They're listening.

What did you want it for?

Want what for?
The dead girl's name badge.

For a project.
They normally come five in a pack,

but I just needed the one.

Ah. So it's thrift, is it, Scrooge?

So not being wasteful
makes me Ebenezer Scrooge

to you people, does it?
Oh, no, no, no.

I'm talking about Tony Scrooge
who drinks down The White Horse.

He'd rat his nan out
for a free pint.

Mind you, she's a piece of work.

She went down for kicking
a police dog onto her garage roof.

Well, maybe Tony Scrooge
has different circumstances.

Does he also stack shelves at night
for minimum wage?

Oh, mate, I didn't mean to...
No, it's all right.

I'm used to being talked down to.
But not for much longer.

The change is coming.
Eh?

You'll soon see.

You ever thought about a career
in children's entertainment?

You ever thought about living in
a pen with the rest of the sheep?

Baa!

Baa!

CLATTERING
Oh!

VOICEOVER: This is just
the beginning.

It's about to get a lot worse.

Panic makes people illogical.

Change is coming.

You'll soon see.

YOU daft knob.

Oh. Aw!

Truce?

Mini pie?

I'll save it.
For your project? Yeah.

Oh, look at that!

I've always wanted one of these.

I can't walk until I've had
my coffee in the morning.

I'm like Lieutenant Dan
from Forrest Gump.

You know, when he's dragging
himself across the floor

on New Year's Eve.
It's heart-breaking, actually.

Really brings home the sacrifice
of those guys.

Anyway, I love coffee.

Yes, the human body is reliant
on processed stimulants.

Baa!

Oh, my God!

It's 1,200 quid. Yes.
They pay what they're told to pay.

What does it do? It makes the masses
their precious elixir.

Can you name a more worthless
piece of consumerism?

Handbag for a cat?

What? My mate Weasel says that
the zenith of human achievement

is going to be when things like this
can do their primary function

but they can also pleasure you.

Pleasure how?
I don't know.

He said something about fitting
a rubber cowl to the front of it,

so it'd be something like...

Something like this.

This one's quite good, actually.
It's got rails so you can...

Stop! No!

I know. It's mad, isn't it?
I said to him,

"Weasel, you can't bang toasters and
coffee machines, for God's sake.

"They're hot for a reason."

God, I knew it.

People fornicating with
inanimate objects.

Anything to anaesthetise
the populace.

We are living in a dystopia.

Your friend may be a prophet.

Weasel? Oh, no, he's bonkers
and unemployable.

Mm, yes, how quick we are
to pigeonhole

those with different views.

You're starting to sound
like him now, mate.

You want to be careful.

He told me he's not having
a Covid jab

because he wants to control
what goes into his body.

You want to know what goes into
his body? Beer and bacon,

and nothing else.

Well, at least you can understand
the worthlessness of it all.

Nihilism is a concept that...
Ooh, jackpot.

Drone!

I've always wanted one of these,
too.

The irony. Why?
It flies!

Let's go and play with this outside.

I think you should pay more
attention to your friend Weasel.

He knows. Mate, he duct taped his
phone to a rocket on Bonfire Night.

Why? Because he wanted to prove
the Earth was flat.

What he proved is
insurance companies don't pay out

if you tape your phone
to a firework. Mm.

OK. And you can prove that it
isn't flat, can you, huh?

Cleaner man.

Yep, Flat Earther. Tick.

And I'm a crime scene cleaner.

Baa!

No-one here needed to get shot.

Mate, I need to get on.

I think we've established
a complete lack of common ground.

No-one in this building
needed to get shot. Yeah?

Who told you that?
The lizards from the royal family?

Go ahead. Sneer.
That's what the sheep like to do.

Sheep sneerer.

It's a play on words. Go on.

I would've been prepared.
Mate...

..how can you plan for two goons
robbing your shop?

I wouldn't have been robbed.
No.

You would've got into a freezer.
Go on, then.

Try to rob me.

Oh, come on.
No, come on, try to rob me. Go on.

Hand over the coffee machine.

Checkmate, sheep.

Oh, God!
WICKY STUTTERS

YELLING

No! Ah! Ah!

Oh!

Ah!
Ha-ha-ha! Baa!

NASAL BREATHING

YELLING

Why did you check that third
freezer? What about the 83%?!

I knew you'd be in here.
I predicted it. I planned!

GROANING

I'm too young.
You're not that young.

I'm too young to die.
You've had a good innings.

This can't be how it ends!

In a freezer!

I am the last fish finger...

..lost at the bottom of the freezer.
The lonely human ham!

Oh, mate, calm down, relax.
It's not real.

A Tupperware box of bolognese!

It's been there seven years.
Throw it away, Mum!

MUM!

What do you mean it's not real?
No, it's not real. It's...

It's part of the drill.
What drill?

My drill. The end-of-days drill.
I thought that's what we were doing.

We were running around, doing...
Sorry.

You odd little man.

You odd little greasy, bowl-cut,
high-waisted,

4chan, QAnon, GB News...

..bell end!
I thought you were quite into it.

You seemed quite into it. Can I
get out of the freezer, please?

Yeah, sure, I'll give you a hand.
I can do it!

Well, help me!
WICKY GRUNTS

Oh, you're so clammy.
THEY YELL

Ta.

It won't taste nice.
They use cheap teabags.

Yeah? Well, my granny always said,
"If it's wet, it's wet."

Now I've said that out loud,
I've realised it's meaningless.

Sorry for scaring you earlier
with the...

Mate, why have you got a fake gun?

It's a deterrent.
It's part of my project.

You are so uptight. Sit down.

Where's your tea?

I save mine.
What do you mean?

Every time I go for a break,
I save the bag.

Why don't you just nick a box
from over there?

Oh, right. And they'd begrudge you
a few teabags?

Of course.
We are just pawns of the game.

Plus Radison is a psychopath.
Is that the manager?

She runs this place like
a security facility. Yeah.

She did seem pretty keen that we
didn't go into her precious office.

You ever done it?
You ever been in the evil lair?

Tasted the forbidden fruit?

Of course not.
That's a sackable offence.

Well, she can't sack me.

Come on.

There's beer in that room. Trust me.

I have a gift.
No!

Cleaner man, stop!

HE CHUCKLES

I can't believe it.
A bit old-fashioned, mate.

Women do drink beers these days,
you know.

There's a woman down my pub, she'd
drink you under the table, son.

The tattoos on her.

Actually, that's not a woman.
That's Dave Shipley.

But I stand by my point.
Women do drink beers.

It's the Dinky Chill 420.

Eh?
It's the mini fridge I'm looking at.

It shouldn't be in here.

The juicer.

The coffee machine.

The clothes steamer.

The intimate razor.
Ew!

This has all been stolen
from the shop floor.

And she's in charge of the audits.

God knows what she's got
squirrelled away at home.

Oh. Ring head office, grass her up.

Oh, God.

There's a mini grill there.

That's stolen from the shop floor,
too.

We're not even allowed
to eat cold food in the building...

..and she's grilling!

Power corrupts, my friend.

Power corrupts.

Go on, then.
What?

Well, pop that beer
and you can tell me your theory.

Not in here.

BEEPING

They block radio signals.
Yeah, of course they do.

Come on, then.
What are we planning for?

The collapse. It's coming.

OK. Before we go any further,
I need to ask you some questions.

Ready? Yep.
9/11, did it happen?

Yep. Did the Americans plan it
themselves? Of course they didn't.

Lord Lucan. Did he file his own
teeth down and is he living

in a Brazilian rainforest
like a monkey? What is this?

Please just answer the questions.

The moon landings - happen?
Yep. Good.

That was a deal-breaker for me. JFK?

Yep, shot by Lee Harvey Oswald...

All right, you've passed the test.

..who was a reptile.
I knew it!

Welcome, David Icke.
KAI SIGHS

I'm not a conspiracy theorist,
all right?

What's that?
All my Covid vaccinations.

And for the record,
the world isn't flat.

Look, an event is coming.

What sort of event?
They haven't decided yet. "They."

Might be nuclear war, might be
disease, might be famine.

Right, and it must be true,
because a man who stacks shelves

in an electronics warehouse told me.

Look, do what you want to do,
all right?

I only told you because...

..you bothered talking to me.

Must be hard living up there.
Up where?

In your head.

MICROWAVES DING

Oi.

What?

I've always wanted a go on one
of these, haven't you? We mustn't.

Ha-ha!

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together

# Together in electric dreams

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together

# Together in electric dreams... #

What are you going to do
for food and drink?

I've got enough water
to last me 36 months.

And for food...

..I've invested in these.

Complete nutrition.

Used by the Space Programme.

You're kidding.
I do not kid.

That will last me long enough
until the radiation levels die down,

and then after that, I'll do
short trips in my hazmat suit.

Which you have?
Of course I do.

It was the most expensive item.

I had to work weeks of overtime
to get that bastard.

But the initial event's going to
wipe us all out, right? Exactly.

It's almost like the government
don't want you to survive.

Good luck not breathing
radioactive particles

through your sofa,
you bloody lemmings.

Bloody hell, mate. You're sounding
like you've built a bunker.

What?

Where?

In my allotment.
Under the potting shed.

How?

How do you even build a bunker?

Research, time, judicious purchase.

Well, where is it?

It's only big enough for one, mate.
THEY LAUGH

I don't want to share your bunker,
you daft sod.

I don't want to survive
an apocalypse.

What? Why?

Well, I don't imagine many people
have got a bunker.

I don't imagine they have.
Right.

So there won't be many survivors.
Yeah, very limited.

So what's the point?

W...What do you mean,
what's the point? It...

What are you going to do?
Wander around in your hazmat suit

meeting no-one?
Life's about other people.

Relationships. Parties.

Friends. Booze. Booze and friends.

What sort of life
are you going to have alone?

Wandering across a scorched Earth
in a hazmat suit alone.

Come on. What sort of life's that?

I...I'd better get going.
I've got stuff to do in the...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.

Kai?

Yeah?

What did you want
that name badge for?

They say after months
of isolation...

..you lose sense of who you are.

Are you going, then?
Yeah.

All clean.

The boss will be happy.

Apart from the missing beers.
Don't you worry about her.

People like that get
what's coming to them.

Something tells me head office
might find out.

I bought you this.

A space bar!

Thank you. I'll enjoy that under
my sofa just before I perish.

KAI CHUCKLES

Hey.

After I've been home for a nap,
I'm, er...

I'm going to go up the Horse for
a couple of pints, if you fancy it.

You could put Weasel right
on a few things, eh?

No.

Thank you for the offer. I've got
things to do and, you know...

Thank you.

Thank you.
You're going to the allotment?

Yeah.

What happens if you're wrong?

Wrong?

About the end of days.

What happens if you just have to
keep on living?

I'm not wrong.

No.

Look after yourself.
