"Do you want to come back here to me?" "Abs, JD's on his way over to you." "We're just gonna pause for a few minutes, OK?" "Yeah, no sweat." "How are you going there, kiddo?" "I'll survive." "You're doing great." "ROHAN:" "Marcus!" "Rohan, yes." "My name is Trent, you arsehole." "Trent, look, show's not over yet." "Still need my reveal." "[TRENT] Do you know what?" "I'd love to be a part of that." "I really, really would." "But right now I'm crucified to a fucking car seat!" "And all I'm asking is for you to just stay in character a little bit longer and channel that pain, yeah?" "Marcus..." "I swear to God, you call time now or I'm out of here." "And first I'm going to find a hospital and then I'm going to call my agent and then I'm calling the fucking union, you piece of shit!" "No, don't..." "Don't do that to me, Trent." "You don't want to be responsible for the death of one of the most successful television shows of all time." "You don't want to develop a reputation for being difficult." "You're not a difficult man, right?" "Wrong." "What's he done?" "Get him back online." "He's gone." "Fuck!" "Fucking actors!" "I give the performance of a lifetime and look what the fuck happens." "OK." "Ah... mah..." "[GAGS]" "One... two... three." "Ah, fuck!" "Oh, fucking..." "[HEAVY BREATHING]" "Tony?" "What the fuck?" "[GASPS]" "[MARCUS] It's alright, I'm gonna go talk to him." "See if we can work something out." "No-one's gonna spoil my fucking reveal." "Have you got a lock on Emma yet?" "Uh, yeah." "She's about two minutes from the kitchen." "She's not gonna hang around too long once she sees JD's not there." "Open up the line for me." "Alright, guys, we're just gonna hold things up for a minute, OK?" "I've gotta go sort out creative differences with our villain." "JD, are you with Abby yet?" "Almost." "OK, once we're back on, we proceed as scripted." "I'll give you a mark and then you can take Emma down to the cellar for the climax." "Copy." "Abby, when you're in place, wait for my cue." "I want you to come in just before we switch on the lights." "Your resurrection's gonna be the showstopper, kiddo." "Boom!" "Yo!" "How are you doing there, Tony?" "I'm freezing my balls off down here." "[SNIGGERS]" "Can we hurry the fuck up, please?" "Well, just suck it up, big fella." "Suze?" "Suzie?" "I can't find her." "She's not in position yet." "OK." "That's OK." "We'll just keep an eye on that." "Now, guys, can I just say, you've done an amazing job, alright?" "We just need one more big push." "If we can nail this final twist, then I think we've pulled off the most amazing feat of all - keeping our fucking jobs." "Keep me updated on Emma." "The last thing we need is for me to bump into her." "Yeah, will do." "You know what?" "I hate to say it but Vicki was right." "We've been playing it too safe." "This..." "This is real fucking horror." "[PANTS]" "JD?" "[PERSON COUGHS]" "[COUGHS]" "Dick?" "Oh, no." "Shit!" "Shit!" "Fuck." "OK." "Uh, Marcus?" "What is it, buddy?" "Uh, we might have a little bit of a problem." "[MARCUS] What, is she close?" "Yeah, she..." "She what?" "Dick?" "Dick." "Dick, you there?" "Dick, come on, this is no time to be screwing around, alright?" "Just tell me..." "Wait a second." "Dick, what?" "Where do I go?" "What the fuck?" "Argh!" "Dick?" "Dick?" "Fuck." "I leave him for two minutes." "[JD] Put that in here." "Good." "Are you alright?" "Are you comfortable?" " [ABBY] Yeah." " [JD] Yeah?" "Good." "You've got to be fucking kidding." "I'm just thinking one there, one there, and just kind of like..." "Not like that, obviously." "[MARCUS] We're trying too hard!" "[JD] Put this here?" "[MARCUS] Maybe bring this one down." "Good." "That's good." "Emma's gonna shit herself." "[JD] She sure is." "Trent, mate, you can go and barrel this camera." "You're gonna have blood all over you." " [JD] Oh, yeah, yeah." " [MARCUS] Lots of blood." "Emma, blah, blah, don't worry." "We're talking to Vicki." "Everything's being sorted out." "Are you watching, are you, Marcus?" "Huh!" "Of course you're watching." "Well, I guess this means that I just fucked up your big reveal, doesn't it?" "You're not going to say anything?" "It kills you, doesn't it." "It fucking kills you that someone might actually be one step ahead of you." "Screw this." "I'm done." "[WHISPERS] Trent?" "Trent?" "Come on, mate." "She barely touched you." "Trent?" "Fuck!" "Dick." "Dick, where the hell are you?" "Masked Freaks." "[GROANS]" "[COCKS WEAPON]" "Argh!" "Marcus." "Jesus, Em, thank Christ you're OK." "Argh!" "Wait, wait, wait!" "Don't, don't, don't." "You just don't know when to stop, do you?" "Trent's dead." "Trent's dead." "They killed him." "I was the perfect stooge, wasn't I?" "I was the perfect fucking stooge!" "Who's Trent?" "Trent." "Ro-Ro-Rohan." "Rohan." "The actor playing Rohan." "Yeah, I probably hurt him a little bit!" "No, no, no." "The Freaks killed him." " Oh, yeah." " No, believe me." "I think they killed Dick too." "Alright, I get it." "You got me, alright?" "But you're not getting your big reveal." "No, no, it's real this time." "Em, someone set us up." "We're all fucking stooges." "Your plot is not making any sense." "You do realise that, right?" "And just so we're clear, you and me, we're done." " Em, no." " Yes!" "In every way." " No, Em." "Em..." " Creatively, every way." "Em, don't." "Oh. [LAUGHS] Oh, I get it." "Masked Freaks." "That's your big twist." " Em..." " Who is that?" "Is that JD?" "Tony?" " Em, Em." " Who's our mystery man?" "Or maybe you're just another wannabe actor who thinks they're gonna be the next big thing." "Well, I've got news for you, buddy." "Oh!" "Oh, edgy." "[GRUNTS]" "Argh!" "[MARCUS] We've got to go." "Masked Freaks." "Yeah." "[BEEP!" "]" "[MUFFLED COMMS]" "[GRUNTS]" "What just happened?" "These are the real bad guys." "We've got to go." " No!" "Where's Abby?" " No, no, no." " We're not going back in there." " Where is she?" "It's gonna be crawling with those fucking freaks." "Marcus, where is she?" "East wing." "She's with JD." "Em!" "We get Abby first, then the others." "Ah!" "[MARCUS] Careful, careful." "[GASPS]" "Oh, JD, mate." "Oh!" "Abby." "She's not here." "Yeah, that's JD's secret recipe." "What's going on?" " Hey." " Hey!" "Hey!" " Hey, leave her alone!" " What are you doing?" "Argh!" "[ABBY SCREAMS]" "Leave her the fuck alone!" "Oh, f..." "[ABBY SCREAMS]" "She's still alive." "OK, so JD isn't the mole." "What are you talking about?" "What, you think this is a crazy coincidence, Emma?" "They can't have done this without any inside information." "[PHONE RINGS]" "[DISTORTED VOICE] We are watching." "We are recording." "You didn't expect us." "Where's Abby?" "[VOICE] If you want to see the girl again, come to the control room." "Come on." "Em!" "We know how this shit works, alright?" "Whatever they've got planned for us, it's gonna be brutal." "We're just gonna casually stroll out of here?" "Abby's alive, Marcus." "Maybe the others are too." "Or maybe they're behind it, Em." "Well, you've been messing with people's heads for so long." "Maybe this has just all caught up with us." "No, we're not murderers, Em." "We're fucking storytellers." "This episode was all going so perfectly to script till these freaks came along." "You said the best ones always go a little off script." "[PANTS]" "[GROANS]" "[EMMA] Oh, God." "What's going on?" "[SIGHS] They've hijacked the feed." "You're bleeding." "What?" "[GASPS]" "[TONY] Marcus!" "Dick!" "Hello?" "Is anyone there?" "Talk to me, for fuck's sake." "Tony!" "[TONY] What's happening?" "Is Trent back on?" "Tony, get out of there now." "He can't hear us." "Oh, hang on." "Here they come." "Who's this guy?" "Where's Em?" "[SIGHS]" "Hey!" "[STARTS CHAINSAW]" "[SHOUTS] Marcus, for God's sake, he's got a fucking chainsaw!" "[TONY] Now, hang on a second..." "Wait, wait..." "[SCREAMS]" "Watch my arm!" "[SCREAMS]" "No!"

"Our analytics tell us audience retention is so much better when there's real conflict." "Oh, you need a fucking algorithm to tell you that?" "This is how the new entertainment works." "The data does not deceive." "Data?" "Fuck off." "If you wanna scare, you make 'em care." "Who put you up to this anyway?" "Was it the network?" "Why would we need them?" "We've got all the money we need and total creative control." "Oh, well, you're just living the dream, aren't ya?" "One of our biggest fans suggested the idea." "The new entertainment is not about the vision of one man..." "Shut up and tell us where she is!" "How about I show you?" "[WOMAN SCREAMS]" "Let go of me, you fuckers!" "Help, Emma!" "Marcus!"
