01x05 - The Girl from Anavarzine

[bunniefuu]

May the bird who has flown

return to us on this blessed altar...

sacred ground.

We beg the stars and the moon

and the mother sun,

give her wings life

until she is called
back to darkness forever.

By His will.

Oh, my God.

Arriane's been here over 20 years.

What the...

Dad?

Luce?

Oh, my God. Dad, I've been
trying to call you. Um...

You need to help.

This place that they sent me
is not what they said it was.

Calm down, honey.

No, listen, you don't understand.

It's... It's a cult or something.

The doctor experiments
on people. It's horrible.

Sweetheart, how did you get a phone?

What? It doesn't matter. The point is...

The doctor said we
shouldn't have contact.

- He knows what he's doing.
- He doesn't. He...

I don't think he's a
doctor. He's a psychopath.

We have these files.
I've seen evidence...

Honey, this is too heartbreaking.

Just take your meds,
keep your head down,

and we'll see you when we
have authorized contact. Ok?

What? No. No. Dad.

Dad?

I'm pleased you chose to participate.

I didn't have much choice.

What happened last night?

When Edward arrived,

he should've only seen
the ruins of the facility.

The Outcasts disrupted the Veil

and I'm worried that a
lot worse is to follow.

If I could learn more,

I'm sure I could prevent
any further attacks.

How?

Well, it could communicate with Lucinda.

Absolutely not.

The interference,

dragging it in here,
the mind manipulation,

it isn't working. It has to stop.

We were brought here to protect them,

to be there till the end,
to guide them, that's all.

You were the one who favored
locking them up in here.

Cassie shouldn't have died.

If she hadn't escaped,

the Outcasts wouldn't have got to her.

We should've been honest with them.

It's a bit late for that, isn't it?

Clifford, follow the laws.

Keep Lucinda away from the Outcast.

Meal session two in ten minutes.

Hey.

Where were you last night?
Heard you went to the med bay.

Everything Ok?

Did you know that some
cereals branded as healthy

have over 25 grams of sugar per serving?

I'm done now.

Excuse me.

Hey, can we talk?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Did you get any sleep?

No. I stayed up all night
reading the rest of the files.

Did you find anything in yours?

Well, apparently I've been
here for over 20 years.

And you haven't aged.

No.

Twenty years is more
than Molly and Arriane.

Uh, anything else?

Uh, bits and pieces.

Some stuff from the accident,

but a lot of the data is
incomplete or corrupted.

But there are notes
from multiple operations.

Well, it seems like you,
Molly, Gabbe and Arriane

all have major biological abnormalities.

Assuming it all checks out.

You're all older than you seem to be.

Wait, not you?

No.

No, my file was... normal.

Like Penn's.

And Roland and Cam took theirs
so I didn't see those files.

Ok.

What about the memory stuff?

Yeah.

Howson just wiped everything
he didn't want us to remember,

so we wouldn't know
how long we'd been here

or... or what happened to us before.

Why?

He's sick.

It's like we're lab rats.

We can't stay here.

What he's doing to you, to everyone...

I think he started on Penn.
I mean, did you see her?

We got to get those files back out.

So the world knows.

The world isn't gonna
believe it, Daniel.

And why would they? It's insane.

I finally got through to my dad
on the phone that Roland got me,

and even he wouldn't talk to me. So...

I'm sorry.

Ok, we're not the ideal profile
for whistleblowers, but...

what if your dad saw the files?

No, we need physical evidence,
something people can understand.

Ok. How?

You.

You're the proof.

Luce?

You feeling better?

Um...

I feel... hazy.

I remember a campfire...

And then Dad's grave...

And...

You had a panic attack.

It's an intense time.

The anniversary of his death.

I feel...

angry.

And, like, sad.

But I-I don't know why.

We're concerned about you.

Your mood, jumping into the lake...

It's not like you.

This chaotic behavior

undermines your profession.

You are a member of staff.

The residents aren't friends.

You have to remember why they're here.

They're dangerous.

Delusional.

No, I remember.

If you want to remain here...

Oh, I do!

Then we need to know

that your conduct will be professional.

I'd hate for there to be an incident...

again.

I'm not sure if I can convince
Miss Miriam to let you stay.

But I want to stay.

Good. I want you to stay too.

You know where I am if you need me.

Is that hot?

Yes.

Wait.

Overdone.

Start over.

I worked through my break. I'll be late.

I'm holding Molly back.

Copy that. Thanks.

Start over.

We get the files out.

Find someone to run experiments
on me to prove the files.

Then come back for everyone.
We'll go the way you did before.

It won't work without the
tech I had from Cassie.

They've doubled the guards.
Drones are everywhere.

The only way out is
through the main gate.

No one's coming for us.

Either we stay and wait for
Howson's next sick experiment,

or we escape.

We need a car.

Then we'll get a car.

Alright.

Hey, um...

What's it like to be
such an over-achiever?

So obvious.

Arriane?

You're slacking.

Stay behind at the end of this session.

You've been here for seven
years and don't remember it?

Howson calls it memory adjustment.

He's like Dr. Frankenstein
with a thoughtful sweater.

One memory kept coming back.

A girl. He'd take her out, then
she'd turn up somewhere else,

like places she shouldn't be.

So my mind was fighting to keep her in.

Her name was Maya.

You don't have any idea who she is?

No.

Jeez! Molly, what happened?

Is there a world where
you mind your own business?

Sorry.

Pretty grim reading last night.

You could say that.

What did you find in yours?

Oh, just a few near-death experiences

and miraculous recoveries.

Who else has read their file?

Uh... Just me, Daniel and Roland.

I haven't shared it.
I'm not sure how to.

It may be best to keep it to yourself.

There's always a right
time for that kind of thing.

Uh, look, Cam...

Remember the day at the lake?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, Daniel and I
broke into this weird lab

inside the med bay...

and we found Cassie.

She's dead.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

We need to stop this happening.

We're going to break out.

When's D-day?

Don't know yet. Soon, hopefully.

But we need help from the others.

Yeah... maybe leave Gabbe out of it?

We can't do it without her.

Piss off.

Did you not hear what I said?

I come in peace, Ok?

It's for your hands.

Can I?

A few other kitchen staff have
come in with the same burns.

It usually stops

after a few weeks.

Sorry. Sorry.

A little bit more.

There.

Thank you.

It's there.

We need to talk to you.

All of you.

- We're getting out.
- I don't want to hear this.

What?

All of us?

We can't get everyone out at once,

so for now, it'll just be Luce and me.

We'll come back with
the authorities for you.

- When's this meant to happen?
- Tomorrow.

Why doesn't Daniel just go?

He's already done the drill once.

I'm just one guy with a crazy story

and I need someone to back it up.

I reckon you can be persuasive.

I'm not leaving without her.

Listen...

For the plan to work, we
need everyone to chip in.

Go on, then.

Ok.

Gabbe will get a key to one
of the vans from the med bay,

and Cam, you cover for Daniel
so he can get to the parking lot.

Luce's shift will finish in the kitchen,

so, Molly, we need you to cover for her

so she can get out and meet me.

Roland can cut the electricity
and open the main gates.

And if we made it
that far... we're free.

You're free.

We're coming back. We
won't leave anyone here.

Well, we can leave
Gabbe. She'll be fine.

- Better off without you idiots.
- Gabbe...

- They're experimenting on us.
- Ridiculous.

I'm in.

Or do any of you morons
have a better idea?

This place can't get any worse.

Why not? I love a bit of solitary.

Yeah. In.

I'm not sticking my neck
out so you can run off.

Forget it.

Well, that may have been

the most short-lived
escape plan in history.

We need to find a way to convince Gabbe.

Maybe we should give her her file.

What if she goes straight to Howson?

That's her decision.

She deserves to know the truth.

They all do.

Arriane?

I heard you're leaving.

Yeah, trying to.

Were you gonna go
without saying anything?

What's that?

You remember when we stole the laptop?

Those are your medical
files that were on there.

Thought you'd want to see them.

It's... pretty hard reading.

I mean, it's not complete.

All the answers aren't there, but...

there are some.

Arriane,

you know, if we do somehow
make it out of here,

which is looking pretty
unlikely at the moment...

you should know we're gonna come back.

I would never just leave you here.

And, um...

I wanted to say...

Thank you.

For what?

For being kind to me.

When I first got here, I was...

I was really scared.

But I never felt alone.

Because of you.

I-I know I'm not always easy.

I'm a bit intense sometimes.

A bit much to take.

But I find it hard, um,
when I like someone...

because I'm afraid I'm just
going to scare them off anyways.

But I never felt like
you were judging me

and that made it easier to be honest.

I felt like I was never
going to connect with anyone.

But then you came in.

And I think you literally saved my life.

Well, this is going to
be a barrel of laughs.

Maybe keep your mouth shut this time.

If you think those lies will
persuade me to help you escape,

you'll be disappointed.
- It's the truth.

It's pathetic. I hope no
one else falls for that crap.

I believe this place is a sh*thole.

Jury's out on the rest.

Who would like to go first?

I would.

Roland.

Who's Maya?

Why don't you tell us?

That's a good question.

Why can't I tell you?

Does anybody else have any
issues they would like to air?

- I do.
- Surprise, surprise.

I want to be transferred from
the kitchen back to laundry.

- You've burned that bridge.
- Why talk about laundry?

It's in their best
interest to be transferred.

Gabbe, stay in your lane.
You're barely competent.

Shut it! She's done more
for us than you have,

bringing us to this
crap heap of a place.

How long have I been here?

You created this situation.
If only you were grateful...

Grateful?

Instead of fighting
back, making it worse.

You think this is my fault?

Molly didn't do anything.

It's you. We've seen the evidence.

All I've done is try to help.

Help?

I saw Penn the other day.

She could barely remember her own name.

You've tried to make us
all think that we're crazy,

but Arriane's right, it's
you who's actually insane

and cruel.

Don't you realize that we are people?

Real people you're hurting.

I'm not hurting anyone.

You trapped us and you drugged us!

My methods are humane. Would
you prefer an ECT? A lobotomy?

Bullshit!

- We know exactly...
- Enough.

what you've been doing to us.

You've lied to us. You're lying now.

You've lied to the people
that we love, our parents.

I mean, you've literally
taken everything we have.

No one has taken anything.

It's delusional, the medication
is designed to combat this

and why, frankly, we are in therapy.

See, what I want to know...

is how did you get us all here?

Did you select us specifically,

or did you just pick us at random?

Find some down and outs
that everyone had given up on

because you knew

that no one would miss us...

and that no one would believe us

if we decided to speak out.

Or if any of us died.

This has gone far enough.

You owe us the truth.

- Dr. Howson.
- What?

Has anyone died?

I have devoted my entire
life to helping you.

All of you.

But Dr. Howson, did anyone die?

Everyone dies in the end.

We'll do it without Gabbe
and go through the fences.

- We can't.
- We can't stay.

Guys.

Look, I didn't want to believe it, Ok?

But I've worked for him long
enough to know when he's lying.

He's a doctor. He's not
meant to hurt anyone.

Yeah. But he has.

Yeah.

Here, it's all I could get.
It's the keys to the Humvee.

Ok.

You need to ditch it as soon as you can.

And you're going to need
this to take off your tags.

Thank you.

Don't screw it up.

You just gave me the fright of my life.

There's a page missing from the book.

From which book?

We promised never to lie to each other.

Why did you steal it?

Steal what?

Sis, are you well?

The morning's exertion must
have taken its toll on you.

Don't try that bollocks with me.

Clifford's pulled that crap
for decades, it's insulting.

God forbid you be insulted.

Just tell me what you saw.

Sis, I can see you're upset.
Please tell me what's going on.

First I thought someone must
have broken in and stolen it.

Why would they?

Why only one page?

Maybe it was a mistake.

So I checked the computer

and the records show
that it's been deleted.

So it was meticulous, deliberate.

Clifford wouldn't go near that
book unless he ran out of wood.

Tasha's a believer, she wouldn't dare.

She doesn't have access anyway.

Which leaves...

you.

Sis, you read too much Agatha Christie.

Stress has taken its toll on you.

You need a break.

And you've been wearing
that same suit for days.

It's not the same suit, you know it.

Whatever's in that book,

tearing it out won't make it go away.

There's no escape.

The future is coming for us all,

whether we like it or not.

Hey, thank you so much for doing this.

Daniel's my friend.

Not long before I need to go.
Everything's set for 3 o'clock.

Stick to the sinks.

I'll pick a fight.

Just chuck a couple
tins around, you know?

Standard Tuesday.

This way. Get a hold of Marv?

Yeah. He'll leave Cassie's
Jeep at the drop off.

I'll cut the power
and shut down the CCTV.

But we don't know when the
backup generator kicks in.

The power should keep them busy,

but whatever you do, do it fast.

Down the corridor, second
left, first right. Good luck.

- It's unlocked.
- Oi!

I got this covered.
You can take a break.

Thanks, sir.

Excuse me.

Whoa. Come on, Moll.

Put the knife down.

Put the knife down.

You can't just...

be all into it and
then change your mind.

I was never... into it,

you b*stard!

Molly!

Molly!

Molly, what's going on?

Hey! Whoa.

Molly!

Unless you want to get turned
into a kebab, do as they say.

The twine's on the shelf.

Put your filthy hands in front of you.

It's almost time. Go to Daniel. Go!

- What will you do with him?
- I'll figure out something.

- Just go!
- Ok.

Huh.

Oh, God...

Where are you?

Ha.

There you are.

Argh!

You scared the crap out of me.

I got you your jacket.

How did you even get that?

Well, it's all about
who you know, isn't it?

There...

A leaving gift.

We're coming back.

You're not.

I wouldn't.

- Cam, believe me...
- I do.

But if it were me and
I got out with you...

I'd take you somewhere spectacular,

they wouldn't find us.

Just the two of us.

Go to The Racasse and ask for Bastien.

He'll sort you out.

Let's go!

Can I get a report on the
location of our primaries?

- Copy that.
- Lucinda Price. Daniel Grigori.

Initiating backup power.

Oh, sh*t.

Someone stole an LUV.

Power engaged.

Shut the gates. Repeat, shut the gates.

Daniel.

Daniel.

Daniel! Daniel!

- Daniel!
- Hold on!

- No!
- Stop!

Stop them! Stop!

They've escaped.

Holy sh*t!

Arriane, why are you in my room?

I'm not in the mood
for whatever you are...

You think she's really
going to come back?

There's Cassie's jeep.

We made it!

Screw you, Howson!

Well, that was foolish.

But you're safe now.

Luce gave me my file.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

It didn't have as much
detail as I'd hoped,

but apparently I was one of
the first ones they caught.

I've been here for nearly 20 years.

Whoa.

I've had his memory treatment 122 times.

There's, like, nothing left.

He doesn't think I'll ever
be able to recall my old life.

Do you believe him?

I don't know.

Residents, remain indoors
until further notice.

Thanks.

Sure.

Ok.

- Night.
- See ya.

Hi, loser.

Cassie? What the... Someone
told me you were dead.

Well, turns out nothing's forever.

How did you find us?

What were you thinking?

Luce.

You could've got hurt.

How did you find us?

Dr. Howson.

Don't. Move.

Lucinda.

Lucinda.

It makes no sense.

Luce.

They must've known where we were going.

Someone told them the location.

Luce?

Luce?

Hey! Where are you going?

Luce.

Luce.

What the hell are you?

We needed to see you.

We wanted to bring you home.

I spoke to my dad this morning.

That wasn't him, was it? It was you.

We will take you home.

We? Who's we?

Luce!

You are the girl from Anavarzine.

You are the one who must choose.

Anavarzine? What...

You must come with us

so we may return.

So we may be forgiven.

For millennia, we have been Outcasts.

Lost.

We are lost, Lucinda Price.

Because of you.

Luce.

Luce!

This is your last chance.

The others are already dead.

- What? What others?
- What the hell?

It's you who's already dead.

What do you mean?

The sky fell because of you.

Run!

sh*t.

Go! Go! Go!

Over here! Here!

Close it!

Hold it!

Hey, you're bleeding!

Keep going!

It wanted to be caught,
to get to Lucinda.

This is on you.

We need to find them.

- You're good.
- Wait. Wait.

I got you, I got you.

I want to rest for one second.
One second, please, Luce.

Daniel, Daniel, hey...

- Stay awake.
- Please.

Stay awake, Ok?

Thanks, thanks.

Hey, hey, hey!

- Stay awake, Ok?
- I'm Ok, I'm just gonna...

I'll find something
to stop the bleeding.

Hey, I found this,
Ok? So you're gonna...

It's Ok. Press down, Ok?

I know. I know. Just...

- Yeah. I'm Ok.
- I'll be right back, Ok?

We need disinfectant.

Uh...

I'll catch up.

Luce?
