0:17:05 > 0:17:06So sad...
0:17:08 > 0:17:09..when we can't let go properly.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13'In my world, love is a practical term,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15'it is almost a business one.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:19It means to combine what you have with what someone else has.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's the combination that means love,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23not...the wish to do it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26The wish told you where love might be found...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28it wasn't love itself.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30What are you saying?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32That my wish isn't love?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- No.- Because, if not, then I've given up very much for a pointless wish.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38No, no, no. That's not what I'm saying.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Here, you have so much choice.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42But if your family is wrong for you, you can choose a different one.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45My family...
0:17:47 > 0:17:51They never saw me as someone they needed to bother combining with.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I was a valuable piece of property
0:17:55 > 0:17:58to be used for the good of the country.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59The wish, my wish...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03..had nothing to do with it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I wish for you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07You wish to combine with me?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Yeah, isn't that what we just...?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Sometimes I think you play stupid!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21How about that fight?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Matron's rules - no mercy.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27That would get in the way.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's our limitation.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We have to stay attached to the great trunk.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It's how the souls connect.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I could only come this far to you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41You have to come the rest of the way.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Why?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46'Because souls can never be forced.'
0:18:46 > 0:18:48They can only be persuaded.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What can I say to make you believe me?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Oh, Puddle.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Won't you take your father's hand? - Take your sister's hand.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Tell me why you call me Puddle.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22We were watching the regimental horses at Hyde Park.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24One of them did an absolutely enormous wee
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and you, not knowing what it was, jumped right into it.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30"Puddle, puddle, puddle!", you said.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Horse wee everywhere.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38That doesn't mean that...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42That just means you can read my mind.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It doesn't mean that you're actually you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I suppose that's true, yeah, but...
0:19:49 > 0:19:50..there's no way to convince you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55You just HAVE to believe me.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I really want to.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I want you to.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I've missed you so much.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Dad?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12HE PANTS
0:20:16 > 0:20:17HE PANTS
0:20:37 > 0:20:38HISSING
0:20:38 > 0:20:39April?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I think the world's ending.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48How do I know that you're not just some chameleon?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Chameleon?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53An animal they have here. It changes its skin to match its background.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Useful for camouflage.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Have you made contact with their leaders?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Chameleons hide themselves.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So what I am wondering is...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05what is it you are hiding?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Maybe you should ask yourself,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09what am I offering?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11THEY PANT
0:21:29 > 0:21:31SLITHERING
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- What are they?- I don't know, but it was connected to Rachel.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, I saw.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37But that's just not on!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38SHE GASPS
0:21:41 > 0:21:44That's not even the third weirdest thing I have seen this month.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45I'm shaking.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Well, the world's ending.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The dead have come back for us.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Maybe.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Maybe there's another explanation.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Do you always have to be so goddamn sensible?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Yes.- What?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Yes! I DO always have to be so goddamn sensible.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Why? Why do you say that?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Because the world isn't sensible, haven't you noticed?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yeah, I've noticed.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I decided a long time ago that I could either
0:22:10 > 0:22:12let that break me into pieces,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14or make sure that it never got the chance.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You just think I'm nice or sensible
0:22:19 > 0:22:20but, really, it's war.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I'm always at war.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Can we please get out of here before we become one of those?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34SLITHERING
0:22:41 > 0:22:44'What are you offering?'
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Do you remember what you said to me the last time you saw me?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That if I ever saw you again,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I'd rip your heart out with my bare hands and make you watch.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Good times.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Well...
0:22:55 > 0:22:56..I'd like to see you try.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06That's interesting.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08THEY RUN AND PANT
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Wait a minute.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13SHE PANTS
0:23:13 > 0:23:14I need to breathe.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Did you mean that?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17SHE PANTS
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Mean what?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Being at war all the time.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28My dad...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31He was a folk singer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33He played the fiddle.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36And made people cry with it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39OK, he make me cry.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44He was always away on tour, so we didn't see him very much,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46but it was nice when we did.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49And then it got less nice.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52He drank.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53A lot.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55And then he drank more.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01When I was eight years old, he purposely drove off the motorway
0:24:01 > 0:24:03with me and my mum in the car.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08My mum was in the passenger seat and that is why she's paralysed.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I was sitting in the back, but I didn't get hurt.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20He said it was a suicide attempt, that he wasn't thinking straight,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23but he still went to prison for it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I got lots of therapy.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Loads of it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34People were really nice.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36So nice, but also careful.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Like, me and my mum were just glass figurines.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'm not made of glass.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47What he did, it's important,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50but if it's the thing that rules,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52then he gets to keep doing that to us every day forever
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and I won't have that.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I play folk music because I love it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I won't let him take that from me.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08And that's why I'm so goddamn sensible.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14You're still shaking.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Did...D-Did you see that?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It looked like my...
0:25:53 > 0:25:54parents.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Do you often see your parents after sex?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01What's wrong with the sky?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Why is no-one answering their phones?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04It is like olden times or something.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Probably cos they are all already dead.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07A little optimism wouldn't kill you, Ram.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10No, alien shadows will kill me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Alien tattoos will kill me.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Eh?- It's coming from the tear.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Why is there only one?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'm not sure, but that's the way to Tanya's flat.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49There's something that you need to know.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Something I didn't tell you.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53My dad was a policeman.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I know that, Puddle.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57My mum used to worry every night.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Worry when he'd work shifts...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05..that he wouldn't come home.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It's not America, I'd say.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12And every night, he'd go out...
0:27:12 > 0:27:17and every night he'd come home and
0:27:17 > 0:27:21even if it was really late, like,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23even if it was like three o'clock in the morning...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I'd look in on you.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28..he'd look in on me.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33And I would always wake up.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Do you know why I did that?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Because I used to do it to you when I was little.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Like, little, little.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45I'd, erm, get out of bed and come to your door
0:27:45 > 0:27:48and look inside...
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And I'd ask, "What are you doing, Puddle?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And I wouldn't say anything...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59..but you knew.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01You knew.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05You were making sure we hadn't gone anywhere in the night.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Because how could something so good ever last?
0:28:15 > 0:28:16And it didn't.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I hated you for leaving.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Everything was perfect and we were all so happy,
0:28:22 > 0:28:23and then you just left.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27I'm sorry.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I'm sorry, Daddy, I just...
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Please...
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Puddle.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Come to your daddy.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Let him listen to your pain.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Let him tell you how he'll still watch over you.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56You want it?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Come and take it.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01It has to be your choice.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05My choice.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07That's how the Lan Kin works.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I can only reach out.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16You have to reach back.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I thought you were just giving me time to say goodbye.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34And this is how you'll do it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Hey, have you seen the sk...? Hi, who's this?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Oh, finally.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39Finally what?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Finally, you've come down from your little love nest
0:29:42 > 0:29:44and are therefore implicitly under threat.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Which means I can finally find out who this infuriating wolverine
0:29:48 > 0:29:50actually is.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51What?
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Agh!
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Get a very big knife.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00No, wait.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Get two.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Why her?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13She never hurt anybody.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Night visiting.- What?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Night visiting, it's a genre of folk song.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Oh, my God, I've heard more about folk music in the last half an hour
0:30:19 > 0:30:21than my entire previous life.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22There's been songs for centuries
0:30:22 > 0:30:24about people coming to your window at night.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Usually ghosts of people you've lost.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Like Rachel.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32What do they want?
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Sometimes it is a warning.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Sometimes?
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Sometimes they want to drag you down with them.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45You have no idea of what you're giving up.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Oh, do shut up, sis.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Sis?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Oh, I got a screwdriver and some secateurs.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I specifically asked for knives.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55I don't like knives.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I can't use weapons, remember?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Right, stab that in its hand.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Oh.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Go on, you take your time.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Come on! What do you think this is?
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Really bad phlegm?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Agh!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Good. Move.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Now, let's have a little chat.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I have, like, 100 missed calls from April.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35We're at Tanya's. What's going on?
0:31:35 > 0:31:36I think we're about to find out.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Is Tanya in danger?
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Well?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43We came to offer you release.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45- Yeah.- Go get her.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47We'll be there as fast as we can.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53It's bad.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Then we're going to save her.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57No, Ram!
0:31:58 > 0:32:00You made one mistake.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05That's not how the Lan Kin works.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11The Lan Kin aren't a people.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13You're a person.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17You are a chameleon, I'll give you that. Taking these shapes.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21You see, the other thing about chameleons,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25really long tongues which shoot out to catch their prey.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27You're just the tip of the tongue.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Such a succulent species.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Your grief's so large, it will not matter what you do to this limb.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I've found a grief that will make me stronger
0:32:39 > 0:32:41than you little worms can imagine.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47What a drama queen.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48She must have meant Tanya.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50April says the main strand of it goes into her flat.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Let's kill it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53You're with us?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56No-one disgraces the memory of my sister by making her nice.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- By the way, Matteusz lives with us now.- Whatever.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00I've missed you so much.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I've missed you.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Take it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08That's how it works.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Two streets up. Then left.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21They reform as soon as you cut them.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Aargh!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25What's it doing?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27My guess is it's gathering strength.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29To do what?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Like the veins of a heart.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32It all leads to one branch.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Where's the rest of her family?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09What happens when I take your hand?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11You become free.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Free from pain.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Free from worry.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Free from this grief that haunts you.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Like, how?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Will you please just listen to your father for once, young lady?
0:34:29 > 0:34:30HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Urgh!
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Tanya!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Don't go to them.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Why didn't Mum open the door for them?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I feed on your release.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Where are my brothers?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50I've never felt a species so in love with closure.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53The sweetness of the taste.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Hi.- Hi.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08What the...?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12You are my heart in this world, Puddle.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I'm not letting you go.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Puddle?- And once my heart is rooted,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24oh, how I shall feed.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You'll have to go through us first.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29Very well.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- MATTEUSZ:- This will not be enough.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Give me your hand,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52or I will kill your family.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Will you let my friends go?
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Tanya, don't.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Can't you see?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Then your mum would have lost you without saying goodbye.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13And it gets to feed again.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14On her.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15It's a cycle.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I will let them go.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21There's only so much even I can consume.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23You'll take away my pain forever?
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Forever.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35No!
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Tanya, no!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Something's happening!
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Oh, release.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Tanya!
0:36:53 > 0:36:56GROANING
0:37:07 > 0:37:09What are you doing to me?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Unclean!
0:37:13 > 0:37:17You are not my father!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25What have you done to me?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27You know, us humans ARE a messy species.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I told you I hated my father for leaving.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33My grief may be strong, but my anger is stronger.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35And that's what I gave you.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36You poisoned me!
0:37:40 > 0:37:42You don't get to have my closure.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- So how does that taste? - Bitter.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You have weakened me.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52HE GASPS AND COUGHS
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01But not enough.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05She didn't!
0:38:12 > 0:38:13BUS HORN HONKS
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Where did she get that? - She's resourceful.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21No, no!
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Nooooo!
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Aaaargh!
0:38:31 > 0:38:33SQUELCHING
0:38:42 > 0:38:43SLITHERING
0:38:59 > 0:39:00I'm so glad that worked.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04My mum!
0:39:06 > 0:39:08What on earth is this mess?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10What's going on?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I've spoken to a few, none of them seem to remember anything,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30which seems really convenient.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33The Lan Kin probably does it so it can come back and feed again.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36It'll think twice before coming back here.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Hey!
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Are you all right?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42How did you know to come here?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45My mum doesn't remember anything.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Yeah, I just said that. - Did you guys see anyone?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- RAM:- I saw Rachel. Tell me about it.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51My dad's the wrong kind of lost.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I saw my parents, but only briefly.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Our bond was not strong. I've got different ones that are stronger.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58We all do. We'll beat it together.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Finally, we did something as a team.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02My God, I'm going to vomit.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Where did you get a bus from?
0:40:16 > 0:40:17I should really be walking you home.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Ram, don't you listen?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21I'm not glass.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24April...
0:40:26 > 0:40:28..any time you want to come night visiting...
0:40:30 > 0:40:31That's not how I meant it.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35I will see you at school, Ram.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Because of the folk music.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40That's all I meant.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Hey.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49As long as you need. I mean it.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52We'll make it work.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Thank you.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Er...thank you.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I am a warrior of the Quill race.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31And a warrior needs a gun.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38The water was so cold.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40He knew it too.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Made a fool of himself just to get my attention.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- He was quite handsome. - Oh, he was very handsome.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47That smile.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50That's how I wanted to remember him.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Me too.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02# And so I sing
0:42:02 > 0:42:05# Unto the morning
0:42:08 > 0:42:15# Oh, sun, don't rise before the day
0:42:16 > 0:42:22# Birds hold your tunes a bit longer... #
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Goodbye, Dad.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Dorothea Ames, new headteacher.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47PHONE RINGS
0:42:52 > 0:42:53SIZZLING
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Oh, my!
0:42:55 > 0:43:00Somewhere there, this heart beats.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03- Aargh!- April!
0:43:08 > 0:43:09April's in trouble.
