('THE INBETWEEN YEARS' BY AL HAZAN FT. DICK STEWART PLAYS) # These are the in-between years # We're going through # These are the precious dream years # (YELLS IN DISTANCE) # Wonderfully new # These are the years to dream# (YELLS IN DISTANCE) # Of what will come # - Shit. - Is he...? - # These are the years... # - Ma! - Don't goddamn yell from the other room. - (WINCES) Here. Here! You want him to live, you gotta help. OK. Just... Push down. Push. Like that. Mum! - You know... (LIGHTER CLICKS) I can't stand it when... # Moments we'll treasure in our memories # - What did you do? - (PANTS) (ORCHESTRAL THEME SONG) Captions by Able. www.able.co.nz Copyright Able - (OVER TV) Hey. You ever lend money, goods, or other stuff to friends or family and they take their sweet time getting it back to you? - Car's fucked. We barely made it. There's battery fluid all over the place. It won't hold the charge. - Shh, shh, shh. - What are we gonna do? - Calm down. - Calm down? These Sheila people are crazy. They shot up the whole park. They're rounding people up, and they're gonna execute them. - You're in my light. - Mum! They're hunting outsiders. Do you understand? These outsiders. When they don't find them, they're gonna come here and they're gonna kill me. And you. - Goddammit! You see what you just made me do? - Why won't you... I fucked up, OK? I fucked up. - OK. Yes. - They came to me. You did the right thing bringing them here. - We have to go. - We cannot move him like this. - (LAUGHS) - You... fuck him. - (LAUGHS) - He's bleeding out. - Shut it! - (RASPS) - Now I've almost got this. (GRUNTS) (SIGHS) There it is. Now there's an extra battery up in the crawlspace. (DISPENSER CLICKS) We're gonna be friends. - Shit! - John? - The battery's fucked! (DISTANT VEHICLE RUMBLES) Oh, fuck! It's Madysun. - What is she doing here? - She's one of them. - Goddammit, I told you to stay away from her! - It's better if we tell her. She likes me. If I tell her, then it'll be OK. - No. You will not. (MOTORBIKE RUMBLES) (DISTANT DOG BARKS) (KNOCKS ON DOOR) - John! Open the door! - Hey. - Where the hell have you been? I spent the last goddamn hour looking for you. - You did? - What part of 'find the foreigners and bring them back' was confusing? ('STRAWBERRY WINE' BY DEANA CARTER) # I come back # - Jesus, you live like a pig. - You want a drink or something? # of strawberry wine... # - Look... I messed up, OK? I admit that. I got in way over my head. But I didn't know it was gonna go down like that. - You put the bullets in the guns. - No, I... I know. - Turn that shit off! - (MOANS) - What did you think was gonna happen? - I don't have any problem with your whole movement. I'm just not looking to be a part of it. - It's a little late for that. So, where are they? (SUSPENSFUL MUSIC) - Sorry, who? - Sorry, who? - (GURGLES) (GRUNTS) - I told you, there's nobody here. - Don't fuck with me, John. - I'm not. (DISTANT CREAKS) (TAP SQUEAKS, WATER RUNS) - Nobody's here. Nobody's here! Nobody. - No one but me and my mum! She's taking a shower. What? She's taking... She's taking a shower. - Tell her to get out here. Now. (KNOCKS) - Mum, we have company. C'mon. This is nuts. Why would I help them? - (GRUNTS) - I hate the bastards as much as you do. - We had them trapped. People saw your piece of shit truck tearing out of there! - Yeah, I know. I shouldn't have run off like that, but honestly I... - They saw someone with you! - What? Bullshit. That's a lie! Who said that? - Sheila. - Sheila said that? Well, she made a mistake. It was dark, and there were people running around. She probably... - Yeah. That's what Sheila said you'd say. She'll be here soon. - Oh. Good. (DISPENSER CLICKS) - (WHISPERS) In your pocket? - (GROANS) - Shh. Shh. - You know... if you tell me where they are now... I might go easy on you, John. Seeing as we had our... little thing that one time... and you were kind of sweet. But when Sheila gets here` - I still think about that night. - Don't change the subject. (TAP SQUEAKS, WATER DRIPS) - Mmm. Guess she's done in there. I'm checking the roof next, John. And if I find them up there I'm gonna take this and I'm gonna blow your mum's brains out. - I don't have your foreigners. - Last chance. - (BREATHES SHAKILY) - (WHISPERS) I got it. Shh, shh. - I swear to God. (DISPENSER CLICKS) - Lying motherfucker! Move! - Wait, wait. Wait! They didn't do anything. - Is that what you think? Move. - Madysun. I love you. - What? - What? - Shut the fuck up. (KNIFE SLICES) - (COUGHS) (SPLUTTERS) - I don't wanna hear it. - (BREATHES HEAVILY) (DISPENSER CLICKS) - (GRUNTS) - Time to go. - He needs Soma. - He needs the wound closed. - You killed her. - Somebody had to. I've waited a long time to get out. I'm sure as hell not getting stuck because some psycho girl gave you a hand job once. Now get up off your ass. Let's go. We need to get them down and we need to get her up. It's better that they're looking for her than us. - Hey. Hey. What about Madysun's bike? I can drive it. - We're not leaving without these people. Get that through your head. - I think we've done enough. I know I have. If it weren't for me, they'd be dead. - Yeah, and if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a corpse in my crawlspace. - Bernard, wake up. Stay awake. - I want to go back to the hotel. - OK. It happens all the time. The dark is our friend. - Where are we going? (DOG BARKS) - Mum... No. (DOG BARKS) - Mum. Don't! - You stay there and keep out of sight. (DOG BARKS) (DISTANT GUNSHOT) (KNOCKS) - What the hell are you doing here? (DOG BARKS) Shut up, asshole! - She home? - Linda... - (MOANS) - Shame she doesn't know what she has. - Go home. Those cult people started a riot. The whole town's on fire. - Mm-hm. - Shit. Don't do this to me. - What am I doing? - You know exactly. - I know that it's cold outside. - Wow. Hey! Hey! Who's there? - You gotta let us in, baby. - Us? No... No way. - We're in trouble. - They're foreigners. I can't. - I've never asked anything of you and you have asked a lot of me. - You're gonna get me killed. You show some respect in my house. - Sure, man. You've always been like a really terrible, shitty father to me. (DOG BARKS) - Can you shut up your fucking dog? - It's my wife's dog. I don't go near him. He hates me more than she does. Oh, Jesus. What'd you do to him? - I removed a bullet and saved his life. - Looks to me like you just kinda hacked him and stabbed him a bunch. - I'd like to see you do better. - Guy looks like Rodney when I ran over his legs with the lawn mower. - We need to close him up. OK, come on. Let's sit you up. - Here you go, buddy, made this myself. Come on. - It's Liquid Soma. Come on. - (SPLUTTERS, COUGHS) - No. I'm making some changes. - Yeah, sure you are. - (PANTS) - Come on. More for us, buddy. Let's go. - It... it burns. - That's how you know it's working. (DOG BARKS) - Fuck. They're here. (DOG BARKS) (TENSE MUSIC) - (SIGHS) I want to go home. - I get that. - You take us. You saved us. Me. - Yeah, I did, but I... - But now you won't? - I.. I just... I... I saw you and I... I don't know. I... You don't even understand what's happening, do you? Why these people here hate you. - It's your conditioning. Violence, your selfishness, your fear. You're very confused. - Hold on. - John? John? Leave her alone. - (GROANS) - Linda. Why are you risking your ass for these outsiders? You're gonna wind up in a ditch. - Just fix him up. I need him. - Him? Why? - Come on. Let's get you cleaned up. - Give me a hand here, kid. - Fuck you, I ain't your kid. - I didn't know booze even worked on their kind. - It does. - Yeah, so... - (COUGHS, GROANS) - We need to cauterise it. - What? - Cauterise. Worked for Rodney. - Rodney? Rodney, your fucking dog? Rodney's a paraplegic, man. - Aw, man, he gets around OK. - (BREATHES HEAVILY) - That's better. I know you think you need that Soma, that you might die without it. But the truth is, you won't. That's the cruellest part. To be forced to cope. All that time and nothing to fill it. So you imagine... Or remember. I used to think about those gorgeous, gorgeous orange clouds over the crematorium. Then after a while, you start to wonder if those things that you cling to if they're even real. - You're a Beta. - Plus. - How are you... - Here? - A mother. - Sorry, I didn't mean to... - No, no. I knew what you meant. I used to think being a mother was the worst thing a person could be. But it's not. Abandoned... That's the worst. You come with an Alpha. You leave with an Alpha. But... (CHUCKLES) If the Alpha leaves you behind... - That wouldn't happen. They wouldn't just leave someone like... - You? - (SCREAMS) - (SIGHS) Now what? - (YELLS) (GROANS) - What'd you do to him? - Fixed him, like you said. - Here, let me see. - He... he burned me! - Yes, but you're gonna be all right. - Come on. - (PANTS) They... they burned me! - Keep your voice down. - I'm gonna report you! And you, and you! - Take it easy. Come on, take it easy. - To the Bureau. When I... When we... This is how he wants it. Don't you see? The Director. He wants me banished or... We're never going back. We're gonna die here. - Bernard, stop. What's wrong with him? - If we live, I'll be monogamous with you. - They found Madysun. (VAN DOOR SHUTS, DOG BARKS) - Shit. She's coming. Get down. - Come on. Let's get you down. - (GRUNTS) - Shh. Shh. (TENSE MUSIC) (DOG WHINES) (TENSE MUSIC) - OK. I think she's leaving. - Are you an Alpha? - Alpha Plus. How did you... - Can you get us through the barrier? - What? (PANTS) - If I take you to the barrier, will you take us through? - Y-Yeah. Yes. - OK. - Yes, I can do that. - Good. That's really good. Is your truck charged? - What the hell you want with my truck? - Wait. Wait. Wait. More of them. - Ah, shit. That's my wife. Y'all need to get the fuck out of here. - Don't go out there. Sorry, sorry... - What are you doing home, baby? - I live here. Betty's house is full of smoke. - Well, I missed you. It's good to see you, baby. - Drinking without me? - The keys. - Jerk! You motherfucker! - No one's in there. Calm down. - That slut in my house again! Let go of me! Linda! - Shh. - I'll kill you, bitch! - Just calm down. - Get the fuck off of me! - Got them. - OK. Come on. Get him up. We gotta move. Mum? Now! - Stand aside. - Can't do that. - Now! Let's go! Come on. (INTENSE MUSIC) (GUNSHOTS) - (GASPS) - Mum! Get in the car! Come on! - Come on. Get in. - Come on!

Admit it. - Trust me. They'll block the road to the hotel... - What about the barrier? - Just get us as close to the launch pad... - Fuck that! I'm not going anywhere near there. - What is that? Slow down. - Those are Sheila's people. - Oh, shit! I told you. - Fuck! - Get ready. We may have to make a run for it. There's room on the shoulder. John. What are you doing? - Shh. - Come on. You gotta just stay calm. John, no. John! Don't. You. Move. (TENSE MUSIC) - (BREATHES HEAVILY) - They're coming back, right? Are they coming back? - (SCREAMS) - Bernard! Act your level. - You took the last Soma. - What? What is it? - (SCREAMS) Fuck! I feel terrible! - We'll have Soma soon, Bernard, OK? These people are gonna help us. - These people... (GRUNTS) - What are you doing? - Acting my level. - Bernard, you don't know how. Stop! - I watched the bus driver. It's not complicated. I'm getting us away from these people who shoot you and burn you. - They saved our lives. The woman, Linda... - She's a killer! They all are. - She's one of us. She's from New London. - She's a mother! - She's a Beta Plus. Same as me. - You'll believe anything they say, won't you? - John. John! Wait. - I'm not dying for them. - This is our chance to go home. - Jesus, when are you gonna stop? You're not one of them, look at yourself. - I am a Beta Plus. - You're a drunk. - You're right. And I'm a shit mother. But I am not a liar. I am a Beta Plus and your father is an Alpha Plus. - He was the Warden` - Warden of the Savage Lands. It's a lie. And I let you tell it because it's the only thing that ever made you happy. But now it's gonna get us fucking killed, so I'm done. What the fuck was that? What was that? You're taking their drugs now too? - You don't know what it's like. (SIGHS) You don't. Come with me. Even if you don't believe me, come with me. - You've seen what the barrier does to a person, right? - Yes, and Bernard can get us through. - Oh... - He's an Alpha. That's how it works. - Bullshit! - There's no pain there, John. No fear. Everyone fits. No one's ever alone. I want that for you. I've always wanted that for you. Don't you wanna know who you are? Oh... Please don't make me choose. - Bernard? - I'm doing it! Lenina, I'm doing it. I'm driving! I'm driving the auto-car! Wait. How` how does it... - Bernard! Make it stop. - Don't shout at me. It's not responding. - Bernard. - Just shh. Lenina, please. - I said don't move it. You're moving! They said don't move. - Please... Car. Stop. Stupid Savage technology! - Shh, Bernard! - Why isn't it doing what it's told! (POP MUSIC PLAYS) (MUSIC PLAYS IN DISTANCE) - Oh, shit. (MUSIC BLARES) - Don't shout at me, Lenina! I don't know... - Stop it! Stop it right now! Do you wanna get yourselves killed? Come on. Get out. - Get out of the car. - It's broken. It's not me. (GUNSHOT) - Get out! Right now! - I can do it... - Come on. Let's go. Let's go. (GUNSHOTS) (GUNSHOT) - We... We're lost, aren't we? - It can't be much further. We just need to stay off the road. All right. Just one foot in front of the other. - I drove the auto-car. You saw. - Yes. Very impressive. - Look at me. Where is it? - Where is what? - My Soma. The Soma, you... I'm a counsellor. I can see it in your eyes. - (SIGHS) Last one. Come on. - I can walk myself, thank you. - I keep thinking about that woman. Madysun? The one that you... - Don't talk. What are you doing? Stop that. - Is this... This can't be how you people feel. (PANTS) - Welcome to the real world. Stop it. Stop crying. - How? (STAMMERS) I don't... you just stop. Just stop. Stop. No. Just... (SIGHS) Stop. - So what's it like there? - New London? (SCOFFS) I thought you knew. - (SIGHS) I do. I just wanted to know if it was the same. - Course. (SNIFFS) Nothing ever changes. - Yeah. I have. (CHUCKLES) You know, time passes here. There's nothing anyone can do about it. I just wondered if... I mean, if I would still fit. - Just stop this. - What? You don't believe me? - It doesn't matter what I believe. I don't control the barrier. Indra does. - You're too many people at once. You save us, you don't. You're violent, you're gentle. You're angry, you're scared. - I'm not. - Impulsive. - Yeah. Primitive. Savage. - I didn't say that. - Yeah. You don't need to. You people come here, gawk at us, judge us, fly the fuck home. I know exactly what you think of me. - I think that you're... - Go on. (GUNSHOT) - (SCREAMS) - Shit! Mum! Stay down! (GUNSHOTS) - Mum, go! Let's go! Come on! Go! (GUNSHOT) (GUNSHOTS) - Run! (GUNSHOTS) - (YELLS) - Lenina! - (GASPS) - Let's go, John. We've gotta go. - I won't make it. - It's the last one. Hurry. Lenina, there's nothing we can do. The rocket's leaving, we... - Abandoned. That's the worst. - You can do it. Please, John. Come on. Come on, we gotta go. (INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS) (GUNSHOT) - (PANTS) - You OK? - (PANTS) Yes. Let's go home. - You. You go back there... you tell your kind we will not suffer for their amusement anymore. Beyond this barrier, they will find only death. Do you understand me? We are free people. This is our land! (DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) Even better. (AMBIENT MUSIC) - Oh, look. There it is. Oh, it's so beautiful. - What is it? - (BREATHES HEAVILY) It's New London. (GASPS) I knew I'd see it again. - What are they gonna do to us? Mum? - Don't call me that. - Mum? Mum? (LOW RUMBLE) Mum? Mum. Mum! Mum! Mum! (INTENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) - Turns out, I rather enjoy decontamination. Who knew? Ah... My shoulder's fixed. Good as new. Didn't feel a thing. Soma. I, um... Fully restocked. For next time I try to drive. - What do we do now? - Well, we go home. Um, they'll send a Gamma up shortly to, uh` - No, uh, after that? Not just... home and work. After that, after today, how do we... What do we do? - What we've always done. - What did she say to you? - What did` what did who? - That Sheila woman. At the barrier. We were leaving and you turned back and... - I don't think so. - Well, no. I saw you. You... turned back and... she spoke to you. What did she say? - Oh, yeah, I don't... I don't remember. Um, she said she, um... She was rambling. Raving, as they do. Uh, she said... she said, um... that we shouldn't go back there anymore. You know, they're quite territorial, actually. Um, something about they... they're free people now. - Free from what? - Why are we talking about this? They're Savages, Lenina. They don't even understand themselves. (SOARING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) - Where is she? I know you're out there! Where the fuck is she? Where is she? I wanna see her! I wanna see her now! (WHIMPERS) Where's my mum? Where is she? Where is she... Where is she! You show her to me! Now! (DOOR OPENS) - He's asking to see her. - There's nothing to see. These people don't cope with death. They don't understand it. They've been conditioned to fear it. They go mad. - He's going mad as it is. - Indulge their grief... it becomes something else. Something... permanent. Useless. Trust me. In the interest of stability. I've seen it before. - So have I. - (GRUNTS) Where is she! (GLASS SHATTERS) - Where is she? Where is she, you motherfuckers! - (GASPS) - Where the fuck is she? Let me out of here! - (GASPS) - I want to see her! Let me the fuck out of here! - (GASPS) - (WHIMPERS) I wanna see her. I wanna see her. Where am I? - John? John? - Where am I? Where am I? - You're home, John. - Who are you? - Welcome. (GENTLE ELECTRONIC MUSIC) (GENTLE ELECTRONIC MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC SOARS) Captions by Able.
