Black Sheep Page #3

Synopsis: Growing up on the family sheep farm was idyllic for smart, sensitive Harry Olfield, except for some knavish mischief from cocky brother Angus, until their dad has a fatal accident. Fifteen years later, Harry has finished sheep-phobia therapy and his ICT schooling and returns. Angus buys him out, all ready to present the genetically engineered Oldfield sheep he bred with a ruthless team. When environmentalist Grant steals a discarded embryo, which has sharp teeth, he gets bitten by it, and thus the first to be infected with predatory hunger and a mechanism that turns any mammal into a werewolf version. Running for the farm men, Grant's mate, student Experience, gets teamed up with Harry and his boorish but gentle pastoral youth friend Tucker. They must survive both the bloodthirsty sheep and their creators, who didn't realize this yet but dispose of an antidote.

You do need therapy.

Ah!

There's no deal, Angus.

We have a contract, Henry.

It's done.

Not with all this

going on.

- Ah!

- Henry!

Help me!

Help me, Angus!

Angus!

I'm your brother!

That's the thing

about farms, Henry,

accidents happen.

- Let me go.

- No. No.

Oh my God!

- Are you okay?

- I'll never be okay ever again.

- What's that?

- Geranium...

aroma therapy for uplift

and hormonal balance.

Do your hormones

really need balancing?

Considering I've been

attacked

by genetically-

engineered monsters,

jumped off a moving vehicle,

been chased across a paddock,

dragged into a torture chamber, pulled

into a mountain of rotting flesh...

yes, my hormones

need f***ing balancing.

- Working yet?

- Uplifting at any moment.

- Where are you going?

- There are caves near the woolshed.

If this is part

of the same system,

we can walk

right under the sheep.

Right.

All he had to do

was leave.

Why wouldn't he

do that?

What happened to those idiots

I sent to collect you?

That looks...

anomalous.

What it looks like

is the spontaneous cellular

transferral

we've been trying to

achieve for months.

Or possibly not

so spontaneous.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

He'll be out

for a while.

Where's your brother

and that girl?

Oh, don't worry.

They're gone.

Well, I don't know what

they're on about.

The sheep?

Really.

There's too many people

running around here today.

One of those greenies

bit me on my way up the hill.

- Bit you?

- Yeah.

Looked like he hadn't

bathed for months.

Hm, you may

need a shot.

Well.

I want this place secured.

Yeah, I have something

I need to observe here,

but I'll be down

presently.

No. Stay here.

Stay here?

I need to present my work.

Look, the last thing I need is someone

with your reputation

prancing about

the place.

Oh, my reputation didn't

seem to bother you

when you needed someone

to kick-start this venture.

Or when you

wanted to pursue

some personal interests.

I was just coming up with solutions

that you hadn't thought of.

Now I'll send someone

up for the animal.

You lock this place down

and stay out of the way.

What about that shot?

Put a plaster on it.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

The amount of bad karma

your brother's generating,

he'll probably

come back as a sheep.

I don't want to think about

what Angus has been doing.

Using your father's legacy

as a testing ground

for vile experiments

on animals.

Experience.

What was all that

about a deal?

Huh?

What are you here

for today?

I sold him my share

of the farm.

I thought if I could

come back here

and resolve things with him,

I could move on.

But these

are your roots.

There's something

in here.

There can't be.

Or they'd have to...

Jump!

Come on!

Sh*t!

I have to

get out of here!

- Down here.

- No. No way.

If it's a way out,

we're there.

If it's not,

we're there forever.

You go first!

Henry:

It shouldn't be too far.

Keep moving.

I can't.

You can.

Look,

you're a tree.

- A tree.

- Feel your roots

- in the ground. Feel your, um...

- Chakra.

...chakra...

- My base chakra.

...drawing energy

from the ground.

Okay, I feel it.

There.

You're relaxed.

I'm relaxed.

Don't get too relaxed.

Go! Go!

- Hurry up!

- I'm hurrying!

- Don't stop!

- It's opening up!

I'm stuck!

I was wrong

about your aura.

Really?

I said it

was selfish, but...

now I think it was

something you stepped in.

This way.

Mrs. Mac:

"Address To A Haggis:

Fair fa' your honest,

sonsie face,

Great chieftain o'

the pudding-race!

Aboon them a' ye

take your place,

Painch tripe or thairm. "

Oh hello, dear.

Did you see Henry

up the hill?

Uh, no.

No, I think

he's gone.

Oh?

Really?

I thought he would have

at least said goodbye.

Well...

you can't tell what

Henry will do,

can you?

It's all his

bloody fault.

He had his money...

good money.

My money.

That little baaa-stard.

Henry:

Up here.

This is how

I remember it.

It's beautiful.

We'd better hurry.

What's that noise?

Somebody shearing.

Experience:

Hello?

Oh God, no.

Grant?

Oh!

What's happened

to you?

Grant, it's me...

Experience.

Hey!

Experience:

Henry!

This way!

Come on!

Henry:

Round here.

- He's coming!

- Come on.

Oh sh*t!

Grant, what's that

on your face?

Is that blood?

Have you been

eating meat, Grant?

Was it even organic?

So, that's

your boyfriend?

I knew you liked animals,

but I didn't think you...

He's not my boyfriend.

Something must

have bitten him.

You mean...

like Tucker?

The amniotic fluid

should work

as an attenuated vaccine

on the mutated cells.

What's going on?

- Tell me how you feel?

- Sore.

Itchy.

My... my skin feels really tight.

Go on.

No no no no no no no no.

No, wait.

All right,

thanks very much.

Oh hello.

Thanks for coming.

Konnichiwa.

Angus:

We're about to kick off.

There's my girl.

Oh sh*t!

Angus won't be selling much sheep

if he turns into one, will he?

He might need

that shot after all.

You're a very lucky

young man,

to be witness to

a new scientific frontier.

I have a small errand

to attend to,

and then...

I think we might try and replicate

the effect on you

with some of

these cultures I have.

In the meantime,

you rest up.

Konnichiwa,

gten tag,

kia ora,

g'day.

This land was carved

from virgin bush

by my great-great

grandfather more than...

My family have sowed their seed

here since that time.

But now...

I have a dream

for the future...

a dream of sheep.

Oh.

The Merino,

the Romney,

the Drysdale.

Excuse me.

It's not far.

It's just a quick trip

through the trees.

These names are shared

in corners of the farm...

These...

these names are...

names...

Well, time to meet the star

of our show, I suppose.

I give you

the Oldfield.

Man:

It's beautiful.

Quiet down.

Ah, beautiful.

Quiet now.

Quiet, my pretty.

Oh no.

Perhaps it won't

be that bad.

Easy! Easy!

Easy!

Oh!

"Lo, on Mount Zion

stood the lamb,

and with him,

Woman:

But I'm a vegetarian!

Was, was, was!

"It is these who follow

the lamb wherever he goes,

for they are spotless!"

- Help me! Help me!

- Ew! Get off!

Help me!

Take me up, O Lord!

Take me...

Henry!

Just in time for dinner!

Oh my Lord!

Oh!

Yeah!

Angus:

Easy, easy.

That's my girl.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

There, it's... I know.

It's okay, yes.

I know, it's okay.

Let's make

that phone call.

I think MAF,

then WEKA.

Or WEKA

then MAF.

Someone must have one of the other

phones off the hook.

Who else is in the...

- Your boyfriend's back.

- Experience:
Jesus, Grant.

- Henry!

- Ow!

Mrs. Mac:

My shotgun's in the pantry!

Many's the meal I've made

of wethers like you.

You don't scare me.

What is that?

My haggis!

Shells!

Shells!

No!

What did you do?

Ling gui ba fa.

- Huh?

- Acupuncture point.

Causes temporary

paralysis.

Or coma

if I did it wrong.

Did you?

He fell down,

didn't he?

We're safe.

Jonathan King

Jonathan King (born Kenneth George King, 6 December 1944) is an English singer-songwriter, record producer, music entrepreneur, and former television and radio presenter. King first came to prominence in 1965 when "Everyone's Gone to the Moon", a song which he wrote and sang whilst he was still an undergraduate, had chart success in Britain and the United States. The Guardian reported in 2002 that he had sold over 40 million records in his career. As an independent producer, he discovered and named Genesis in 1967, and produced their first album From Genesis to Revelation. He founded his own label, UK Records in 1972. He released and produced songs for 10cc and the Bay City Rollers. In the 1970s King became known for hits that he performed and produced under different names, including "Johnny Reggae", "Loop di Love", "Hooked On A Feeling" and "Una Paloma Blanca"; between September 1971 and 1972 alone he produced 10 top 30 singles in the UK. Rod Liddle described him as someone who could "storm the pop charts at will, under a hundred different disguises".While living in New York in the 1980s, King continued to appear on radio and television in the UK, including on the BBC's Top of the Pops and Entertainment USA. In the early 1990s he produced the Brit Awards, and from 1995 he selected and produced the British entries for the Eurovision Song Contest, including the winning entry in 1997, "Love Shine A Light" by Katrina and the Waves.In September 2001, King was convicted of child sexual abuse and sentenced to seven years in prison, for having sexually assaulted five boys, aged 14 and 15, in the 1980s.
