nothing ever goes to script.

Sh*t! He's here!

OK, time to move, people.

First positions.

- See what I mean?

- Guys, sorry.

He must have

come up a different way.

OK, stay sharp.

We nail this guy

and season 6 is in the bag.

Abby, Abby, Abby. Earpiece.

He's pulling up.

You've got a minute, tops.

Let's go.

Uh, he's heading towards

the garden.

Suze, are you in position?

Standing by.

OK, watch your step, guys.

You ready? OK. Go, go, go.

Yes, we hope to bring it

all back to life eventually,

but... one thing at a time.

Sorry to have you out

so late in the day

- but we've had a number of...

- There used to be a...

a magnificent row

of rhododendron

running all along here.

How... How do you know that?

I planted them.

Oh, really?

Well, I'm Jennifer Agutter.

And you must be Rohan.

Pleased to meet you,

Miss Agutter.

Oh, yes.

Well, as the agency

would have mentioned,

we are a number

of months away

from opening

the children's therapy centre

but we will need

a groundskeeper soon,

as you can tell.

Fancy that, though,

you having worked here before.

What is it?

Damn it!

Sorry.

Where did she...

Where did she go?

Who?

There was a girl.

Is she a patient of yours?

There are no children here yet.

Shall we?

Uh, she's still got

her comms in.

Em, earpiece.

Just this way.

- Rohan?

- Hmm?

That's great, Abs.

Second position now.

Suzie, you're clear too.

Just through here.

Take a seat.

Frankly, Miss Agutter...

I've been dreading

coming back.

To be honest with you,

Rohan,

I had no clue that you

were previously employed here.

A little glitch in the system,

but never mind.

This was home... for a good

period of time, yes.

Well, at least you'll

know your way around,

if we were to employ you,

which is a definite advantage.

Oh, yes, I know my way around.

All the nooks and crannies.

All the hiding spots.

All the places

you should never, ever go.

Where the bad children

get locked up.

Rohan?

Is everything alright?

Did you know that girl?

- Why do you have to be so nosy?

- I wasn't...

How does any of this

relate to my application

for the position of

groundskeeper here?

You've seen my qualifications,

my references.

I don't know what you're

insinuating by any of this.

That my past prevents me

from working here again?

No, no, no. I was merely...

Um, Miss... Agutter speaking.

I'm in the middle

of an interview.

OK, so, maybe

he's a little bit... special.

Yes. Yes, that has

become clear to me now.

I do wonder

why I wasn't informed

of this particular development.

The network wants next level,

we're gonna give them

next level.

I do appreciate

what's at stake, Doctor,

but it's my instinct that

we do not proceed as planned

with this particular case.

You've got nothing

to worry about, OK?

It's playing beautifully

up here.

Doctor...

Yes, I will see you soon.

Thank you. Goodbye.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have

to leave you for a moment.

You know how much pain

was inflicted here, don't you?

You'll have to excuse me.

Now cue door.

And door.

- Yeah, with sound please.

- Sh*t!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Miss Agutter?

OK, hit him

with the slamming door.

Good, Dicky. Good.

He used to work here?

That's the new paradigm, Em.

If I told you everything,

do you really think

we'd be in the middle

of what promises to be

our f***in' masterpiece?

OK, standby on lights.

He's confused, Marcus.

He's scared.

I know. It's great, isn't it?

What else are you

not telling me?

I'm just doing

what the network wants,

I'm making it darker

and more real, OK?

- Ready, Dick?

- Yep.

Behind you!

Where have you been?

We missed you.

Who's been a naughty boy?

Nowhere to go.

Have you been a good boy?

Your special hiding spot.

Upstairs. Upstairs.

This is the sh*t I live for.

OK, Suze, are you in position?

Copy.

Good.

Abs, you ready?

F***, yeah, I'm ready.

Alright, let's cue ball.

The fish takes the hook.

No, I don't like this, Marcus.

That's great, Abs. You've got

plenty of lead there.

Did something happen

up in that room?

No, not that I'm aware of.

- OK, get ready to pipe me in.

- Standing by.

Zoom in there, Tone.

Rohan.

Ro... han.

Ro... han.

Good. Abs, you're on.

Ro... han.

Ro... han.

- The letter opener!

- What?

- What are you doing? Em!

- Oh, jeez!

No!

Stop! Stop! Put the knife down.

You're not in any danger.

This has all been a prank.

Please, leave her alone.

F***, I have to go up there.

No, no, no. Are you crazy?

- We have to help them!

- No, no, no.

Not when he's like this!

Guys, shhh! It's Tony.

Marcus.

Marcus, are you there?

I want to get out of here, man.

Quiet, Tony. Don't move.

Sh*t!

F***! Cut to the wide.

Em!

Track her!

Tony...

Em! Em!

Marcus.

Oh, sh*t.

I've lost him again.

Em, put

your earpiece in.

Tony's dead.

- I know.

- Where's Abby?

No, Em. You don't want to

look down there.

Em, please don't.

I'm so sorry.

We're picking him up on 12.

Sh*t! Em, you've got

to get out of there.

He's heading back.

Em, you've got to move!

Come on!

No, not down there.

You're gonna have to go

the long way.

You pushed it

too far this time.

We were told to push it.

You knew what was at stake.

You knew that there was

something wrong with him!

I just wanted to make

the experience more...

psychological.

Who is he?

He was perfectly cast, Emmy.

Who the f*** is he?

OK, yes, he used to work here

but... he was also a patient.

And there were certain crimes.

You bastard.

Yeah, the guy's got

a few skeletons in the closet

but we honestly had no idea

he'd be capable of something

as crazy as this.

He was living

a quiet life in the suburbs

since they shut

this place down.

What can I say?

He just flipped!

Sh*t!

- Em, are you there?

- Where are the others?

JD's in the kitchen, Suze is

laying low in the infirmary.

Don't worry. They're safe, OK?

Come on and get

your arse back to us.

We've got you covered

most of the way, alright?

- Which way do I go?

- Uh, I don't know.

No, we don't have

any vision down there.

I'm looking

right into a camera!

You are? We got...

we've got nothing up here.

Oh, sh*t.

We've lost them both.

You've got to keep

talking to me, Em.

We can't see you, OK?

I see an exit.

Good, good.

Go for it.

Emma?

What the hell's going on?

Marcus won't tell me anything.

He just told me to stay in here

and keep the door shut.

Is there some

kind of an emergency?

- Did the stooge freak out?

- He killed them.

- Abby and Tony.

- What?

Em! Em!

What's going on?

- Where are you now?

- Shut the f*** up!

Huh?

No!

Em, we're picking

you up again.

The kitchen's straight ahead.

He got Suze.

Sh*t!

Just get in there

and bunker down with JD.

Come on!

Miss Agutter!

- JD, open the door! Quick!

- Hold on!

Jesus!

F***!

I think he's gone.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's alright, Em. It's alright.

You couldn't have done

anything to protect her.

I promised her I would.
