will take her baby

and parade a posh black English lady

as the mother.

-And she'll never see it again.

-KEE:
Nobody's taking my baby!

We all know this government

would never acknowledge

the first human birth in 18 years

from a fugee.

A wanted fugee.

Why don't we explain to Mr Faron

what they do to immigrants in this country?

MIRIAM:
He knows. He's seen the cages.

He's not that stupid.

KEE:
I'm not going to the government.

You told me

you would get me to the Human Project.

-You promised me.

-I know.

And we will.

But I don't think it's safe

to try and reach the coast now.

You could stay here, Kee.

It's a safe place for you to have your child.

And when you and the baby

are well enough,

we will find a way

to get you to the Human Project.

I promise you, Kee.

It could take months

to get back in touch with them again.

This is true.

We have to take it under consideration.

Kee, this is your decision.

What do you think?

-I think you need proper care.

-EMILY:
Oh, brilliant!

She has proper care!

-What the f*** does he know?

-Hang on. Kee?

Kee, this is your choice.

-I have my baby here...

-Yes!

...then you get me to the Human Project.

Thank you, Kee. Thank you.

LUKE:
We need to organise safe houses.

No more than three days in one place.

MIRIAM:
No, no,

you can't keep moving her around.

LUKE:
It's for her safety.

PATRIC:
Please help him!

RADO:
What are you doing?

-He's hurt really badly!

-Oh, sh*t, f***.

-I didn't have anywhere else to go.

-You're not supposed to be here!

There's f***ing police everywhere!

-What do you think you're doing?

-He's been bleeding for hours!

LUKE:
Shut up! Get his bike out of here.

Get it out!

PATRIC:
What was I supposed to do?

LUKE:
It's a simple f***ing plan.

Get in here, Patric!

What the f*** are you doing here?

What the f*** are you doing here?

No f***ing excuses!

IAN:
You have a first aid kit? Medicine?

TOMASZ:
Mostly for cows.

Iodine, bandages, clean towels,

whatever you have, bring it to the barn.

And for God's sake,

hide the f***ing motorcycle.

IAN:
You put everything at risk.

PATRIC:
What was I supposed to do?

What about all the f***ing police, lan?

You said it would be safe!

IAN:
We paid the gang.

We had no idea about the cops.

You broke the protocol.

What were you thinking?

What was I thinking?

You could be responsible

for putting the Uprising in jeopardy.

He needs a proper doctor!

Don't you get it?

We have a baby.

When people see we have a baby,

everyone will join us in the Uprising.

But we can forget about the baby

if the girl even suspects we killed Julian!

What was I supposed to do?

You saw how he is.

He's on death's f***ing door!

-LUKE:
Take it easy.

-You broke protocol.

He's my f***ing cousin!

Luke, he needs a doctor.

Don't worry. We'll take care of him.

Simon, right?

-Aye, Simon.

-All right, sit down, Patric.

Simon is a good Fish. So are you.

Be proud to know that because

of the two of you, the Uprising is assured.

The baby will stay with us.

Where's Faron? He's a f***ing dead man.

No. Tomorrow. We'll do him then,

after we move the girl.

Patric, you ever break protocol again,

I'll have to kill you.

(MIRIAM SNORING)

Kee. Kee, it's Theo.

-Listen to me.

-KEE:
What's going on?

Luke killed Julian.

They want your baby. They killed Julian.

They're gonna...

They killed Julian. They're gonna kill me.

We have to leave. We have to go now.

Miriam, shut up!

Trust me, we've got to go.

Stop it! Stop it! Both of you!

Get off!

I'm going with him.

Miriam, you can stay if you want.

Miriam, you have to keep your mouth shut.

-I mean it.

-All right. All right.

LUKE:
We're moving the girl

to Bristol straight away.

We need to bring weapons over...

The refugee camps...

RADO:
Zaphyr, he looks

bloody f***ing awful.

ZAPHYR:
Yeah. Really?

All that dirt and sand in there,

nowhere to hide the blood in, no skin.

Sh*t! It's f***ing disgusting.

He's not gonna make it.

Of course not gonna make it,

with all the blood and guts coming out.

RADO:
Hey, Samir.

(RADO AND SAMIR CHATTERING)

(ENGINE STALLING)

Sh*t.

Stop! Stop the car! Stop the f***ing car!

LUKE:
Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! The girl's in the car!

-Stop!

-LUKE:
The girl's in the car!

Stop the f***ing car!

Give me the f***ing keys.

Give me the f***ing keys.

MIRIAM:
Get down! Get down!

Can't you get it moving any faster?

For God's sake!

Come on. Come on.

Stop!

Stop!

THEO:
Sh*t.

KEE:
They're coming! They're coming!

MIRIAM:
Get going, get going!

They're getting closer!

Oh, God! He's gaining on us!

Can I shoot? I got a clean shot!

F*** off!

Miriam, jump-start the car!

KEE:
We have to go!

Wait till it gets faster!

All right! All right! Just push, you push!

F***ing hell!

KEE:
Miriam! Miriam!

We have to wait for him! Theo!

Go, go, go!

(COUGHING)

MIRIAM:
Kee, are you all right?

-I'm fine.

We need to find a safe house.

THEO:
Yeah, the last one was

really f***ing safe.

Well, what do you suggest?

Don't worry. I know where to go.

Wait here.

Oh, f***.

F***.

Jasper?

Janice?

Jasper?

-Oh, f***!

-Oh, f*** you.

What are you doing with this sh*t?

This? I mix it with bread to poison the rats.

It's not bullshit what they say.

They pass away quite peacefully.

Jasper.

Meet Miriam and Kee.

MIRIAM:
The Tomorrow is a hospital ship

disguised as a fishing boat.

They'll take us to the Human Project.

I told you, amigo, the Human Project is real.

Yeah, but you're also the guy

that believes in UFOs.

Tell them about that thing

you saw on the heath.

You saw a UFO?

Did you know that the Human Project

is supposed to have

a community on the Azores?

It's a sanctuary.

That's where they'll take us, Kee.

Can you catch this ship anywhere else?

It's going to stop at the last two

weather buoys en route at sunset.

So it will be tonight at Windsmore

and then two night's time at Bexhill.

You can forget about Windsmore.

We'd never make it in time.

No, it's our only chance.

We can't get to Bexhill.

That's a refugee camp.

Eureka! Eat and rest.

With a little bit of luck,

you're going to need all your energy.

-Where are you going?

-Feed her for me, Theo.

Kee, your baby is the miracle

the whole world has been waiting for.

(CHANTING)

Come on. Come on.

(JASPER CHANTING)

Did he really see a UFO?

KEE:
Is she doing her voodoo hoodoo?

She's doing something.

She smited me with that.

Said it was good for my baby.

Does she look posh to you, or gawky?

Earnest.

(KEE LAUGHING)

Yeah.

-How many months?

-Eight.

It takes nine months.

I know.

Who's the father?

Whiffet. I'm a virgin.

Sorry?

(KEE LAUGHING)

That'd be wicked, eh?

Yeah, it would.

F*** knows.

I don't know most of the wankers' names.

You know, when I started puking,

I thought I catch the pest.

But then my belly started getting big.

Nobody ever told me these things.

I never seen a pregnant woman before.

But I knew.

I felt like a freak.

I didn't tell nobody.
