0:00:02 > 0:00:03This programme contains some violent scenes
0:00:03 > 0:00:05You both now share April's heart.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10"The governors." Now, who might you be?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Throw me out.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13He likes you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16No, no-one likes me.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18What if that's forever?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Then it's forever.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22SCREAMING
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Do you know the feeling of dread?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56The anchor is prepared, Your Majesty.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Once I attach it,
0:00:57 > 0:01:02it will hold the heart in your body and you will be whole again.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13HEART BEATS
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The results should be immediate.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21YELLING
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And there, the anchor is set.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30It's failing, failing!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33HE ROARS
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The heart still leaves my body.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41The anchor has not worked.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The connection is even stronger.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Do you believe this to be an acceptable state of affairs
0:01:48 > 0:01:51for a king of the Shadow Kin?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55He who leads the War of the Underneath?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56No, Majesty.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Ah!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Name your failure.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- We were unable...- We?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I believed an anchor of her lifeblood
0:02:13 > 0:02:16would hold the heart in our world.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It did not.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I deserve death.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22HE ROARS
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I can hear her thoughts.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I can feel her stronger than ever.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35HE PANTS
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh, my.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10# What have I been waiting for?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13# Been wasting all my time
0:03:13 > 0:03:15# Watching my youth slip away
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# Surely is a crime
0:03:17 > 0:03:20# We go on and on and on and on and on
0:03:20 > 0:03:22# Never knowing where, never knowing where
0:03:22 > 0:03:27# We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
0:03:27 > 0:03:30# We go on and on and on and on and on
0:03:30 > 0:03:32# Never knowing where, never knowing where
0:03:32 > 0:03:36# We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning. #
0:03:56 > 0:03:57VIOLIN PLAYS
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Break a string?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40That was emphatic.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Something you want to tell me, April?- What?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46No, nothing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Why?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49He's out.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I know.- He contacted you?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56He's even got the same number.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59What did he say?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I didn't answer.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'm OK, Mum, really.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27OK.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You seem like you've been feeling a bit better.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm doing OK, Dad. Better.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I made some new friends.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You haven't told Mum about my leg, have you?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- You asked me not to. - I just don't want her worrying, Dad.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I don't like the thought of you facing anything alone.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52We'll always fight for you, and with you, if you let us.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Still, as long as this business is all finished
0:06:00 > 0:06:03and there are no more actual aliens still hanging about.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- You lied.- I did.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Because sometimes princes have to lie?
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Because these are the souls of every Rhodian who's ever lived,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23everyone I've ever known - my family, people I love.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'm in charge of protecting them.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And because it is not empty.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It is also a weapon.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's also a weapon.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38April.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Oh, hey.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53So I guess I'll see you later, then.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Yeah, bye.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Oh, no, wait, Ram!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01BELL RINGS
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I never found out what they all stood for.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Frances. Miss Quill, I believe.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Yes?- I've been wanting to meet you.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Dorothea Ames, new headteacher.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Right. That was quick.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20True, but people who go missing from Coal Hill
0:07:20 > 0:07:23have a distressing tendency to stay that way, don't you find?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24I don't know, I've only been here a few months.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Don't listen to an old gossip like me,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but I particularly wanted to meet you, Miss Quill.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Me?- The governors speak highly of you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- The governors?- My dear, if you're going to answer everything
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I say with a question, well, then we'll be fine friends
0:07:36 > 0:07:38because I do like being the one with the answers.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40But I've never met the governors.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43They think you're a frightfully useful member of staff.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Must get on.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49So you've never had a parents' evening?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Princes tend not to.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54My parents always come, but this time...
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Well, maybe Quill can have a meeting with herself about the both of you
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- and be done with it. - We do have other classes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I'd like to know my progress, how I can improve.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Don't we want to be better students with the help of our parents?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10What?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You know, I don't think Quill's going to go for that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ah, I'll just order her to.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19I mean, my future improvement is a kind of personal protection.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's not hard to forget he's an alien, is it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Yeah, it's true.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Is he...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30all human?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31You know, like...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35..down there?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38No? OK, well, I'll see you later then, bye.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42So I just know that you'll all have done your reading.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Context for discussion of today's topic is
0:08:45 > 0:08:47the mind-set of a soldier.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51338,000 men evacuated,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55100,000 of them straight from the beach, and you are one of them.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57What are you thinking as the boats arrive?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00"Am I going to get bombed?"
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Well, the Wehrmacht cut them off,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and they very well could have been bombed at any time.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09So, rescue is on the horizon, but are you going to make it?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yeah, but that's what war is, though, isn't it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You're always waiting to die.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15(You have no idea what war is.)
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Sorry, what was that, April?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20We sit here and talk about war like we have the first clue.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22"The mind-set of a soldier."
0:09:22 > 0:09:23How can anyone here even guess?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, imagination is an act of empathy.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Of course we don't know what it was actually like...
0:09:28 > 0:09:29No, you don't!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32..but we can try to put ourselves in their shoes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35And why would anyone want to have empathy for that bunch of cowards?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Well, it's true the evacuation was not without its controversies,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42but we're going to talk about that later on...
0:09:42 > 0:09:44If you sign up for war, you sign up to die.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- That's harsh.- Yeah, that is a bit.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48My dad's in the Army. He didn't sign up to die,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50he signed up so other people wouldn't die.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Don't you think that the other soldiers signed up
0:09:52 > 0:09:55for the same thing? Somebody always dies in war.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, yes, and that's what we're after, April,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01we're trying to get inside the fear that those soldiers...
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Fear?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06What use is a soldier with fear?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Cowards should be weeded out of every single army.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14The soldiers at Dunkirk should've stayed and fought and died!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Cos who would want to live as a coward anyway?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Most human beings. What is your problem?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I don't... Um...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32What was I saying?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49PHONE RINGS
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Ram?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- What's wrong? - Something weird's happening.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Want to skip class?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22VIDEO: All the matter in its core is crushed
0:11:22 > 0:11:24into an infinite void of blackness.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You want me to what?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Parents' evening. It's apparently quite common.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I'm not going to your other teachers hat in hand
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- to ask after your wellbeing. - Your job is to protect me.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39This protects my future prospects.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Hello! They're not even supposed to know we live together.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44You'll figure something out.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47You're always going on about how clever you are.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50If we had ever met on the battlefield...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52We didn't and we won't.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Do this. I command it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- I don't want to die, Ram. - You're not going to die.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I'll tell the others.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I'll tell Quill, she's the one who had the gun.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14There'll be a way to fix this.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18You're not going to die.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20But it's just what happens now, isn't it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24We killed the coach, we killed that Lan Kin thing.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Anyone who wants to kill you is going to have to come through me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Oh, Ram, they probably will.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34FOOTSTEPS
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- What? Who is that?- Oh, no.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43That's your dad.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Stay here.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01How dare you?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03How dare you just show up?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04You won't answer any of my phone calls,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06you won't respond to any of my letters.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08You're breaking the law.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You know you're not supposed to contact me except by letter,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- and even then...- April...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I just, I just want...
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Maybe you should leave!
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Maybe you should leave right now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I can handle this, Ram.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Because that's what you don't know.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29You expect me to be afraid of you...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31No! I don't.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32I'm not.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36You have no idea of the things that I've seen.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I just, I... I wanted...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I needed...to apologise.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46For trying to kill us?!
0:13:46 > 0:13:47For paralysing Mum?!
0:13:49 > 0:13:50I miss my daughter.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53I miss my family...
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Ow!
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Maybe you should run.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Ram?
0:14:36 > 0:14:37It's OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'm fairly certain this isn't school grounds.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I believe you both should be
0:14:46 > 0:14:48in Miss Quill's physics lesson right now, correct?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'm sorry, who are you?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Your new headteacher.- Oh.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- We were just...- Helping out a student who's under the weather.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Good citizenship, Mr Singh.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Please, take Miss MacLean home.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Hope you feel better soon,
0:15:04 > 0:15:05and we'll see you tomorrow.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12How does she know what classes we're in on, like, her first day?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Alien.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Can you take me home?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Yeah, absolutely.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46SHE GASPS
0:16:01 > 0:16:02How does it work?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It only responds to the Rhodian leader.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I activate it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And each soul finds one of the people you wish to eliminate.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Do not use that word.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's a word very bad governments use.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Fine, it's to kill.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23And each Rhodian soul burns that other soul out of existence.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26And there are billions in the Cabinet?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29So you could kill billions more.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yes, but only once. They burn themselves out while doing it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36The whole idea is it's a single-use weapon you never have to use.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39And you never would destroy a planet,
0:16:39 > 0:16:40all those lives.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43My planet was destroyed.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Move!
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Out of the way.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So it's different than a vision?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's like he's taking me over and I can't stop it.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05That's not true.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08You didn't attack your dad.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09But I wanted to.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I wanted to kill him.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15And I could have.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23The Shadow Kin wants your heart.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25And that's one battleground
0:17:25 > 0:17:28where I can guarantee you he is going to lose.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29That was so cheesy.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I know I should be laughing, but I'm touched.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37I mean it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Majesty?- How many worlds have I made submit?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04How much life have I extinguished with shadow?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Never enough.- Never enough.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11We are a trick, we are an accident.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14We should never have been born into a universe of light.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16But we were.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yes, Majesty.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23This war cannot be paused
0:18:23 > 0:18:26because its leader is sharing his heart with a little girl.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Your Majesty is in need of you, Kharrus.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34And I will fulfil His Majesty's needs.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I have a different way to cure your heart.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We need to tell the others.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46We can help you, April, I'm sure we can.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I know.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49I'm frightened.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I've been frightened nonstop for the last month.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I actually found a grey hair yesterday.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Hey, Ram?- Mm.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08You know that war I told you I was fighting every day?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Against the world breaking.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'm losing.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16How far to the girl's world?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Space travel will take 9,000 years,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22which is why we are searching for the cracks that lead to it instead.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Still. You found the system.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26How?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29The frequency and wavelength at which
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Your Majesty's heart disappears,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33it suggests a specific distance.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36There were 27 systems that fit the criteria,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38but this one is the only one
0:19:38 > 0:19:41that plausibly matches our experiences there.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Kharrus, you fought with us.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Yes, Majesty.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I am a warrior in His Majesty's horde.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Somewhere there this heart beats.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00And Rannus did one thing right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05His anchor is going to lead us right to it.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11But the difference now is you're not fighting this alone.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Is that a line?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Is that a what?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, April.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28The heart itself must slip through a tear in space and time
0:20:28 > 0:20:30in order to beat.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34It's only a matter of tracking it properly.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Your work impresses, Kharrus.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Ugh... I...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Majesty? - HEART BEATS
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Are you unwell, Majesty?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I can feel her.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52April, is this really OK?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I'm afraid all the time.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You are one of the only things that makes me feel safe,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02because you've seen everything that I have.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You make me feel safe, too.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Shall I...?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Majesty.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You are showing the colours of the mate.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06I'm not hurting you, am I?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10No. Am I hurting you?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12The opposite, I think.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Ugh...
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Are you not into it?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22No, it's just...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You're regretting it.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28As is the King's prerogative.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32No. It's not that.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It's the girl.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I trust Your Majesty is satisfied.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43I don't suppose we could have a moment of cuddling.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51You're shaking again.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56It's been a weird month.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08SHE GASPS
0:23:12 > 0:23:14She's influencing me somehow.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Rannus's anchor is making the connection stronger.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I will not have it!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Now it is not injured.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Ah!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24But it's not the heart of a Shadow Kin.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I may have a solution, Majesty.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I think it's passed.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I think it's passed.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53OK.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59But that's it, I'm calling the others right now.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00DOOR CLICKS
0:24:03 > 0:24:04APRIL GASPS
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Isn't this the wrong season for blooming?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I don't know. I've yet to see the seasons here.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I don't think I like how you order Miss Quill around.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- What?- It's a punishment, isn't it?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34She's meant to protect you, not be your servant.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Or your slave.- I know, I don't know how many times I've had this exact
0:24:37 > 0:24:39conversation with her myself.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42My dad used to say people don't set out to be monsters,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45they start by getting a little taste for it and then they like it,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47so they taste some more.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- And then before you know it... - I'm not being monstrous.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I'm being just.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Please don't question the morality of my culture.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56He doesn't like it when you do that.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58If the morality of your culture keeps on looking like slavery,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01you're not really going to stop me from asking questions.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03You don't know what she did. You don't know what we suffered.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05And my control of the creature inside her head may be
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- the only thing keeping us all alive. - But she's helping us here.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11And the world which you both may have done things on is gone.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Miss Quill is my business and I'll thank you to stay out of it.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Oh, I really don't think you want to go talking to me like royalty,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Prince. - There is something weird here.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19With flower petals.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- What do you want?- There's something urgent I need to sort at home.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I assume you'll be performing the parent and teacher duties
0:25:45 > 0:25:47at parents' evening for Charlie.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Charlie Smith, is it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I don't see so many Smiths these days.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56It's rather like John.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Have you noticed no-one under the age of 35 is called John any more?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Please sit, I won't bite.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It is interesting, though.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10The work I had to do to track down your story.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Does he at least have a name?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's Ram.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- I wasn't asking you. - Mum, it's OK.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Really?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30You should still be on your way home from school.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Did they give you a note for this?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36We didn't...
0:26:36 > 0:26:37plan it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Do I even need to ask if you used protection?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47It's OK. I had some condoms.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Ram...
0:26:48 > 0:26:49I didn't want her to think bad of you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- She saw her dad.- Ram!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01He just showed up at the school where he wasn't supposed to.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03She was upset. I took her home.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06That's all I've got to say.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Don't let this chair fool you.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15If you hurt my daughter...
0:27:17 > 0:27:18..I will kill you.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21April is my friend.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31If you need me...
0:27:41 > 0:27:42What did your dad say?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- I'm calling the police. - Mum, no, just leave it.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Leave it?! What is going on today?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55You've never even mentioned that boy's name to me, April.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We've got stuff in common.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I bet that's what he says.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Mum, he's not Dad.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Sweetie...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Neither was your dad at first.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Tanya. April is in trouble.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50All this fascinating information and the only thing I keep thinking
0:28:50 > 0:28:55to myself is, you don't really seem like an Andrea.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Yeah, well, everyone calls me Quill.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Look, is this about the parents' evening? Because...
0:29:00 > 0:29:01This isn't the 1950s,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04trust me when I say I've seen more unusual housing arrangements
0:29:04 > 0:29:08than yours and Charlie's. Guardianship is quite common.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Yeah.- Slightly tricky with Matteusz,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13but he's 17 and that's borderline on his own wishes
0:29:13 > 0:29:16versus those of his parents. And if they threw him out...
0:29:16 > 0:29:18How do you know all this?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20The governors like a well-run school.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25Ah, yes, well, I've seen some of the resources of the governors.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Yes, robots are rather expensive.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Not going to be easy to replace.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Tell me, Miss Quill, have you seen any squirrels today?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Pardon?- Or birds.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Heard any birdsong this morning?
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Are you quite insane?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Are there more of them than a moment ago?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Why are you giving me such a hard time about this?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46It's the duty of a prince to save his people.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Duty is another word of bad government.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51And how is this saving?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53They're souls, they've already lived their lives.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56What?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00What else are you not telling me?
0:30:02 > 0:30:03The children's story.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09In the hands of the right person, the Cabinet isn't just a weapon.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12It's a way of bringing them all back.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15What?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17In the hands of a hero,
0:30:17 > 0:30:21the souls take over the bodies instead of just burning them.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23So all of Rhodia is reborn in a different shape.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27An entire race is still killed.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- I know.- And you think you are this hero?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32No, no, I told you, it's a children's story,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- a way of believing in heaven. - So you DON'T believe it?
0:30:34 > 0:30:35It's hope.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38I know it's stupid and childish,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41and no adult Rhodian ever believes it, but it's hope.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Of course I'm not this hero,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46but if I can keep the Cabinet safe, maybe, one day...
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Ram said April's body has been taken over by the Shadow Kin.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55His voice sounded kind of funny - I think they had sex.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Ram and the Shadow Kin?
0:31:00 > 0:31:01SHE SIGHS
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Inert.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16No apparent intelligence, nothing we can argue with.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Just a plant with an appetite.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22SHE GASPS
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Watch.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I fed one of these an hour ago,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44and from that single drop of blood,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47it's doubled, doubled, doubled again...
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And it's eating squirrels.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Probably all it can manage at this point, but not for long.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56We think a single petal slipped in through a crack in space-time,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59just last night, and look how it's proliferated.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03And it's not stopping. Doubled, doubled, doubled again.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05So those of us that it doesn't eat...
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Will be swamped, suffocated.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11We are quite doomed.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Unless you help us.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Oh, there's a way, trust me.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22And I have been authorised to say that if you help us solve our little
0:32:22 > 0:32:27problem here, we may well be able to help you solve yours.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Mine?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34How would you like to get that little creature out of your head
0:32:34 > 0:32:36once and for all?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39How would you like your own free will back,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41to do with whatever you please?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Rannus hoped the anchor on the heart alone
0:32:50 > 0:32:53would be enough to keep it in this world.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I know this, Kharrus.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58But he was too cowardly to go the extra step -
0:32:58 > 0:33:03to attach the body of Your Majesty to the anchor as well.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08So if the heart goes, I go with it?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Or it brings her here.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Or you may both die
0:33:15 > 0:33:19as your shared heart is torn in two.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21That was why he hesitated.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22That was why he failed.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25You are here to make sure that does not happen.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I understand, Your Majesty.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34We are not finished speaking, young lady.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I can't leave it that way with Ram.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Jackie, I'm...I'm...
0:33:46 > 0:33:48You're not welcome here.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50You know the rules of the court order.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I'm here because there's something wrong with our daughter.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57There will be constant injuries to you
0:33:57 > 0:33:59when I link the anchor to your body
0:33:59 > 0:34:02and the heart beats in and out of it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06I will be constantly healing you, but the pain will be great.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Are you ready?
0:34:09 > 0:34:10I am.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19You will not speak to me of my daughter.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Our daughter!- And that is exactly how you will not speak of her.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24She threatened me today!
0:34:26 > 0:34:27With these swords!
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Swords?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36They're more like scimitars.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Should you succeed, there is room on the throne by my side.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45You honour me, Majesty.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Yes, I do.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Now!
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Still waiting for an answer.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Argh!- April! April!
0:34:55 > 0:34:56April!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02No! No!
0:35:04 > 0:35:05No!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I can feel it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11I can feel her.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15No!
0:35:15 > 0:35:17He's trying to take it.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Who's trying to take what?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Your father?- No!
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Baby, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35She's fighting it.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39She is a girl, you are one of the Shadow Kin!
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- You will beat her. - Yes, Majesty.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45HE ROARS
0:35:45 > 0:35:47No!
0:35:47 > 0:35:49No, you can't have it.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16We don't want you.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18April, what's happening?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Jackie, call the police. Call an ambulance.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22JACKIE SCREAMS
0:36:22 > 0:36:24It isn't working.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26She's imposing her will.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31You took everything from us.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I...I... I can never apologise enough.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36You should still be in prison.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37April, please!
0:36:37 > 0:36:39You put her in that chair.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44- I know, but, love... - Don't treat me like your daughter!
0:36:54 > 0:36:56HE KNOCKS
0:37:00 > 0:37:04You did teach me one thing, though, Dad.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Stop moving!
0:37:07 > 0:37:10You made me strong because I had to be.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15You are not my father any more.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18You are not a part of this family.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20All right, I deserve that.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23And I will go away if you want me to.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- I'll never come back. - It's too late for that.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- You have failed. - You have failed.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31April. What the hell is going on?
0:37:34 > 0:37:38The science has failed. You have made things worse.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Your Majesty, I have not yet finished.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Yes, you have. Her heart is strong.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- My heart is strong. - It fights back like mine used to.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47It fights back, it always has.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- April, don't!- Why not?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57He tried to take his life and ours with it.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Why shouldn't I finish the job?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Because that's not what April would do.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Majesty, please!
0:38:04 > 0:38:06If you would only let me...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09You have no idea what I would do.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12You have no idea what I'm capable of.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I know exactly what you're capable of.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18But you are April because you choose not to do it.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21You told me you wouldn't let him break you.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24And I won't.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I'll break him instead.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- JACKIE:- April! April, no, please.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Don't do this.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39You, you will be merciful.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43April, don't!
0:38:48 > 0:38:50THEY ROAR
0:39:06 > 0:39:07You took from us.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11You took so much.
