You're precious. You're the most precious.
What you're hiding, it will come out.
We're Red Pill.
- Hi. - Hey.
- What's your real name? - Tess.
Who is Adrian? Why is he in charge?
He made Red Pill.
For people like us.
Go easy.
Shadowfax...
I think she did something.
Maybe she'll tell us what it was.
~
Do you have ID?
These are powerful drugs, you know?
Maybe you could have a quick chat with our pharmacist.
I know what to do.
Leila?
Can you come?
Did you see the chemist?
Did they give it to you?
Because I think...
We've talked about this, haven't we, Leila?
Yes.
I want to decide when, Leila.
Yes.
I want to decide.
Leila?
Can you come, Leila?
Leila? Leila?
Leila?
Leila?!
Something's wrong.
Hey!
There you are, come on!
Were fighting the machines today, hunting the hulks!
- Not my thing. - Come!
The hulks take your credits.
They're coming!
Ha! Woo!
Yes!
Yes! Woohoo!
Look at them all.
Throwing away their lives on killing and masturbation,
and paying for the privilege.
How are you doing this?
I'm very good, have you not worked that out yet?
What do you do?
Everybody needs something, let's call it change.
In Red Pill, we try to give it to each other.
Mania needs a friend.
Why me?
Because we saw you.
Maybe you're different to all those other idiots.
How do you know I'm different?
Instinct.
Do I join Red Pill?
If you can show us who you really are.
How?
Work it out.
Might be more fun than this kiddie bullshit.
How did you...?
Jesus, again.
Swing, batter, batter, batter, batter, batter, batter!
Swing, batter!
Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy,
Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy.
Walla, walla, walla, walla, walla, walla, walla, walla!
Jonty?
- All right? - Aren't you supposed to be at work?
Ah, already at work, I'm loosening my instrument.
I meant at the coffee shop, for money.
There's, erm... there's been a bit of a parting of ways, it's...
I'm sorry, but there are some things
you just shouldn't put a marshmallow into.
OK, but I need the rent.
- Need? - Yes.
- Not just want? - Need.
Absolutely, understood.
Unfortunately, at the moment, I am a job seeker.
But I have landed the role of Tony Blair in a soon-to-be well-regarded
fringe show, it's called I Love Bush.
- Check this out... - No, thank you.
I'm going to work, for money.
Maybe...
Maybe put some trousers on first, though?
Just... just saying. Erm... it's, erm...
Anyway, this scene is backstage before his seminal speech to the
Labour Party conference, 1999.
Cherie!
Don't give up on me!
I can do this, Cherie!
Cherie!
Hi. This is Tess. I'm a bit out of it
so leave a message for me to ignore.
Hi, it's Leila.
I was hoping we could...
Anyway, it's Leila.
Hi. This is Tess. I'm a bit out of it
so leave a message for me to ignore.
Whoa!
Sorry.
Excuse me, I'm looking for someone.
- Shit. - I'm one of Tess's friends.
Really?
- She speaks about you. - Yeah? What's she say?
- Too much anal sex. - Yeah?
Then tell Beyonce to stop sticking it out, then.
- OK. - Hello?
Yeah, sorry, I was in a meeting.
Yeah.
Aw, give him a kiss for me.
Hello?
It's me.
Leila.
Where do you keep the cups?
I'm not sure, I don't...
I don't come in here much.
I met your boyfriend. He's quite rude.
Yeah, that's Connor.
He's a dick.
I thought you dumped him?
Yeah, well...
I get horny when I take too many pills.
- I was ringing you. - Yeah?
Right, because...
...I thought you might want me to.
I get a little unreliable now and then.
Why?
I...
I have up days and down days.
Sometimes up weeks and down weeks, so...
I had a whole year up once. I...
I can't even remember it, I think a dog died.
Anyway.
People get tired of me.
And I'm supposed to...?
- Oh. - Oh, shit.
So you finished fucking suit guy, then?
- Yeah. - Brilliant.
Another day in paradise.
Look, Poll, erm... I lost the job at the club, but it wasn't my fault.
No?
£620 you owe me now.
- I fucking want it. - Yeah, and just don't be a cow about it!
Oh!
Well, how now, bitch?
It's the shitting brown cow.
Who are you?
I'm...
- A friend? - Oh, good luck with that.
Look, just get me my money, or I'm calling my dad, OK?
That's Polly.
Is she one of your tired friends?
Erm, I'm sorry I didn't answer your calls, I was...
- I was being a twat. - That's OK.
But...
I should go. I'm late for work.
But... we're doing this.
Making friends.
- Yes. - And you'll come to Red Pill?
He'll let you in.
- Adrian? - Adrian.
- Did he choose...? - I'll call tomorrow, OK?
Promise.
If you're not tired of me yet.
I don't tire easily.
That's good.
I haven't got anything to say.
- Whatever it is you're filming. - Act as if I'm not here.
Well, that's silly!
Why would I say anything if you're not here?
I made a friend, Mum.
Silly old me.
Who are you calling old?
Decrepit, more like.
"Decrepit me?"
You're precious.
You're the most precious.
Hello.
Then I dumped him.
Totally illegal.
Everything's OK.
Do widzenia.
Where did you go?
Don't you work? Your shift started already.
Sorry.
Tess, are you listening?
Tess?
I mean, we talked about this before, you know,
and I'd like you to hear me about lithium being the only real answer.
For these disorders I think it's really the only valid treatment.
How long since you felt like you were dipping?
A few days.
I was fine, maybe I felt too good.
But then you stopped taking your medication?
Yes?
You see?
I don't know what to do.
It's a two hour drive to get here.
Tess, I'm concerned that you seem disorientated.
- This isn't good. - All she does is play computer games.
It helps.
You don't know how much it helps.
You should stay at the unit for a while.
Give the games a miss and we can control the medication.
It would help your mum stop worrying for a bit.
- OK, Mum? - No.
I'm sure college will understand. I can speak to them.
- I dropped out. - What?
- When?! - I don't know, a few months ago.
Oh, for God's sake! What have you been doing?
I swim.
Tell me, just say what I did to deserve this.
Can you see the upset it causes, Tess?
If you won't stay here
then you're going to have to promise to take your lithium.
Can you do that?
Can you promise?
Yep.
Ah!
It's not so hard, it is it?
After everything.
All the money we spent...
...trying to put you right.
- I don't think that's helpful. - No! Her father's sick.
But you know about that, don't you?!
I'm sorry.
Well, I can't change that now.
I need to be going.
It's a very long drive home.
She's not here.
It's... It's all there.
£620.
She'll fuck you over. You know that, right?
Maybe that's not the point.
Maybe.
- But you know you're not her type. - Who is?
Anyone who'll sub her, fuck her, deal her drugs,
drive her to hospital.
Are you up for any of that?
I'm going to work.
You're probably a nice person.
I was too, once.
- I found her in the forest. - Shadowfax.
It's cute.
What's inside you, what you're hiding, it will come out.
Do widzenia.
Azana, translate "do widzenia".
Pleasure...
Pain.
Man, you've got to have some pain.
Keep it real.
Hello.
Hey, sugar tits. They just cancelled my meeting.
I'm coming over. Be there in five.
No, thanks.
Come on, I'll be quick. I know you like it when...
I'm busy. Go fuck your wife.
I won't come in.
I have a new friend.
She likes me.
Well...
...I hope she's strong.
And take the lithium, for Christ's sakes.
That will be £4.50, please.
Great, thanks.
Here's your change.
- Leila. - Mr Adams.
You look older.
Yes, it must be... three years since you left school?
- How is your mother? - She died.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Are you still working at the school?
No. They, er...
I've moved on. Retired, in a way.
How's the gaming?
- Still building your machines? - Sometimes.
- I'm not that good. - That's not so, is it, Leila?
You always had mathematical flair.
- Not really. - You should have gone to university.
I always thought you were different to all those other idiots.
Leila. Service.
- I have to go. - Why don't you take my number?
In case you ever decide to start studying again.
- No, you... - I don't do much with my day,
so who knows?
It could get you back into the swing of things.
Leila.
- Hi. - Hey.
So he took the money and threw you out anyway?
Yeah.
I'm not used to people being kind.
Throws me off.
Put your stuff in there. I'm making tea.
Leits!
Somebody dumped a computer.
- No. - Yep. Leads and everything.
It's perfect. I've got rubbish streaming on my laptop,
and hell's bells, sometimes you just need to, you know, to keep it going.
Hi, Donty.
All right?
Tess is staying for a while? Is that all right?
♪ When I came home last night ♪
♪ You wouldn't make love to me ♪
♪ You went fast to sleep ♪
♪ You wouldn't even talk to me ♪
♪ You said I'm so crazy ♪
♪ Coming home intoxicated... ♪
It's going to be an all-nighter! Whoo!
Bit fragile, the Welsh.
I think he's been over-rehearsing.
Ah.
You get used to that.
- Ready? - Mm.
Let's go.
OK.
This is beautiful.
- Oh... - What?
No fighting gear here.
Rules.
Come on.
They'll be pleased.
- Where are we going? - You'll see.
This is weird!
I should have kept my massive trap shut.
- What did you say? - Something stupid, I'm hoping.
I told Park graduating from high school doesn't count for crap
unless you want to be some asshole small-town divorce lawyer.
- Shit. - He went fucking batshit crazy.
Fuck! Did he hurt you?
He kind of...
you know...
And I can't go back there now.
But my buddy Drew, he loaned me his trailer.
It's pretty beat up, but hey...
- Oh, Dad. - Oh, cool. New blood.
Yeah, cos we're getting bored with your shitty old dad.
Shadowfax has been helping Mania round.
- What? You met? - Sure.
- Who do I get to meet? - Saving up dollars.
- Going to fly into London town soon. - Maybe. We're talking about it.
God, consummate already.
Then you can start over-hating each other.
Yeah. I guess that was funny.
Oh, fuck off, Mania.
- So where's Calummy? - Maybe he deactivated.
Probably got arrested again.
So, Adrian, what you got planned for Shadowfax?
Something super bad?
As it happens, I did prepare something.
Holy shit!
That is sweet.
- Nice. - This is for you, Shadowfax.
- Newbie's got to dance. - Yeah, check her out.
She's a controller queen.
OK.
She's going to break her neck.
Nobody asked you.
Come on, Shadowfax, show us what you got.
Solid start.
Nice! Good!
Shadowfax...
Ah!
Is it what you expected?
They're nice.
You've done well. Mania seems happier.
Yeah.
She's complicated. I worry about her.
Calummy's gone.
His profile is deleted. I can't find him.
Maybe he's taking a break.
It can be intense here.
And he'll come back?
Well, we gave him what he needed, and he's found some peace.
Peace?
You can have that, too. The thing YOU most need.
- What's that? - Don't you know?
- It's late. - That it is.
And Denyer has things to discuss.
- Denyer? - No need to be shy. Say hello.
She's going to be good for us.
Hi.
You two should get to know each other. Might be rewarding.
Tess?
Mm.
- Did you have fun? - Yeah, it was really fun.
Cool! Got a spliff here.
My mum didn't let anyone smoke in the house.
- Oh. - Shit.
- Sorry. - It's OK.
No-one ever came anyway, and then she died.
Were you sad?
I tried to be. Mostly I don't feel anything.
My mother's alive and kicking.
More's the pity.
Oh! Oh, jeez!
Shit! I'm useless.
No, you're not.
You're keeping me alive.
- Huh? - Enough.
I'm shagged.
You're beautiful.
What you learn is none of it counts for shit in the end.
You coming?
Take more off.
I can't.
Yo!
Oh, boy!
You need unwinding.
You should show Welsh boy the goods.
Don't be silly!
Your mother wrapped you in some serious repression, child.
I know!
Silly old moo.
She was so sick.
She didn't want to be alive any more.
So I killed her.
You...
I gave her a lot of drugs...
...and she just went.
That happened.
I'm OK.
Sure you are.
Can I ask you...?
That boy Calummy deactivated.
- He's gone. - How?
My first night in Red Pill, I talked to him,
and something was strange.
He said goodbye.
- Where? - Sunny Heights,
the spooky place with the ramp thing.
- That's not Sunny Heights. - Huh?
Sunny Heights is where Calummy lives, wherever that is.
His life's pretty crap.
Like the rest of us.
One day...
...we're all going to meet up, all of Red Pill,
like, really together.
There's a place somewhere.
Adrian says we can go there if ever things get too shit.
We just have to say.
- Where is it? - I don't know.
But it's amazing.
Everything bad we've done...
...doesn't matter.
Just goes away.
Mm... Hmm... Mm.
- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
Oh... oh!
Yeah, yeah.
Sunny Heights never looked better.
- What do you think? - You'll like it, just like I promised.
I'm scared of falling.
Come down. Come down and chill out here.
Right, see you later.
When's he coming?
Yo, what's up, what's up?
Did you know Cyril?
You're his friend?
Yes.
I didn't know his friends.
He was always in his room, always talking.
You look nice.
Your hair is nice.
I... I liked him very much.
He was kind.
They say I can see him today.
They wouldn't let me before.
The police.
I make my father mad.
It's me.
Something in me makes him bitter.
My boy.
Kocham Ciebe!
Co sie stalo?
Kocham Cie!
Przestan...
Przestan!
Make it stop! Make it stop!
Make it stop!
I'm not hungry.
I know. It's better to try, though.
You make good coffee.
My husband ran away.
Police saw marks on me.
He won't come back.
Cyril tried.
He tried to stop it.
- He was brave. - Yes.
The police were here. They wanted to see everything.
His computer -- everything.
- Did they take it away? - No. There was nothing. It was empty.
I told them he was talking -- always talking to someone.
I ask but he don't want to tell me who wants to talk to him.
Can I see it?
I didn't go in there.
I will never go in there.
They said he jumped.
You go and see.
What's your name?
Leila.
It's Leila.
It's a pretty name.
I wish I had a girl.
Girls won't hurt you.
Oh, God.
Tell Calummny this is nothing.
It's nothing. It's fine. You can do anything.
Where are you?
Come out.
I know you're there.
Stop skulking around.
I'm not scared.
I'm not scared of you.
Aargh! Get off!
Stop.
You can have it too, Shadowfax.
Didn't I promise you...
...the thing you need most?
I never break my promises.
Hey.
Hey, hurry up, you silly moo.
Mum!
Wheee!
Come on.
