Primeval

This way.

You're fine. You're fine. You're OK.

They have medicine here.

She'll be OK.

There must be another way out.

OK, come on.

We've got to get her to a hospital. Charlotte, it's Emily.

Try to stay awake, Charlotte.

When I'm gone...

look after him.

He needs looking after.

Emily.

Ethan...

I'm sorry.

This is all your fault.

How long have you got?

Months.

Weeks, maybe.

We'll talk to another doctor, get a second opinion.

Matthew, I'm dying, you can't fix this.

No, but you can fight it, we can beat this.

You remind me of myself when I was that age.

Stubborn, headstrong.

Not quite so good-looking.

You'll be all right here, without me.

You're close now.

Close?

I'm in complete darkness.

I mean, it might be Philip, but I'm not sure.

Connor's smart, but... Someone could be dangerous without even knowing,

it could be a complete stranger

and I'm looking in the wrong place. You'll work it out.

Was it worth it?

You're whole life, just...waiting.

Of course.

Think what's at stake.

OK, what we got?

It's a theatre on Cooper Street. Temple.

Abby. Let's go.

Connor, I need your help.

Ah, there's an alert, I should - This is more important.

I need you to run the new security protocol check, for glitches. Really?

Can it not wait, cos I really - The core team have military training.

You have other skills.

Matt, it's Jess, can you call me back, please.

Matt, answer your phone.

Jess. Matt, I've been trying to reach you, there's an anomaly alert.

Where? The theatre on Cooper Street.

I'm sending you the co-ordinates now. Be there in a minute.

If there's anything - Forget about me, Matthew.

Do your job.

I've designed a new bio-scan. Bio-scan?

Well, after that Dracorex incident.

This'll automatically respond to any escaped creature in the ARC.

That's neat. Very neat.

Now, what I want you to do is make sure the existing

ARC systems are compatible before this scan goes live.

No disrespect, but couldn't any computer-literate techie do that?

I built this system on top of yours from the old ARC,

I thought you'd be excited.

Well, if you think it's beneath you...

No. I'll do it.

Great. We'll get it up and running, we'll have a full dress rehearsal.

Rock and roll.

Look, Connor...

I know it's not as thrilling as running after an overgrown lizard,

but I promise you,

one day - this will save lives.

Call me if you need me.

Great.

I'm an overpaid button-pusher.

In fact, forget the overpaid part.

Here goes.

We have to get back to the others.

It's what Charlotte would want. She understood our rules.

She died because of you and your rules.

We should've gone through the last gateway, no matter what the risk. We shouldn't have left it so long.

It looked too dangerous. You said -

Sh!

She can't be found.

Jess, I'm in the theatre, there's no sign of an occursion.

Matt, can I ask you a question?

Why did it take so long to pick up your phone? I was busy.

Personal stuff. Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. Becker and Abby are on their way.

Jess, there's something in here.

Wait!

Wait!

Jess, where the hell's Becker? He's almost there.

Matt, what's going on?

Are you there?

Matt?

Matt?

Matt? Matt, are you OK?

Where is he?

What about his black box? The signal's not moving.

Do you think he's been attacked?

Where's he gone?

Sweep the theatre for any sign of incursion.

Abby and I will lock the anomaly.

Matt's signal's coming from backstage.

We're backstage, Jess. We've located the anomaly.

Matt should be right behind you. Go and find him.

Becker, over here.

She's dead.

I don't need your help, you fool. Go back.

Hey!

Hey, look out!

Come on, we've got to go. We've got to go.

Up, come on. What are you doing?

I'm trying to get you home. Come on.

No sign of incursion or Matt. So, where is he?

Jess, anything? I've checked the CCTV,

he hasn't left the theatre. At least, not through the door.

Forget it, he'd never go through.

He knows the rules. No expeditions, no search parties, no rescue.

Besides, if he's been dragged through by a creature he's already dead.

You know it's the right thing to do, come on, mate.

No, we keep searching the theatre. Becker - Listen, Abby.

You can either stay here or you can search with me,

but this stays locked.

No! No!

Becker, mate, it's Connor. You need to open it now.

This is Matt we're talking about. You know the rules

better than anyone, if he's gone through it's on his own head.

I don't care about the rules - You don't know what it's like,

to be trapped out there, to be lost so far away. You can't just leave him there.

You know that. We haven't finished searching.

He's not here, Becker.

It's a human being, trapped.

We could help. We should help.

No-one else goes through, no search parties, no risks.

If a creature comes out - we deal with it.

But we have to open it.

Here! Hey!

Here!

We've got to give Matt a chance.

Come on.

Here, come on. Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

Lock it.

Before you ask, I don't know. She just ran through.

And you followed her. What was that thing?

Some sort of arboreal raptor. Tree-climber.

Trust me, you don't want that thing coming through.

We found a woman... Dead.

Not a creature attack.

We need to get her to hospital, come on.

Philip? All the systems are compliant,

there's no glitches that I can see. Good news.

I'm going to go now. I need you to activate the scan.

Run a full test.

I erm... I really should be...

Activating the scan.

Cool.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

It's OK. You're in a hospital.

Is there anyone I should call?

Friends or family or...

We found a body at the theatre.

A young woman.

Is that why you ran away? Did you think I was the police?

She was my friend.

I would never have hurt her. OK.

It's interesting.

Where'd you get it?

OK, why don't we just start with your name?

I'm sure you've got questions you'd like to ask me too.

One minute you're in a theatre, the next you're in a forest

with those creatures, I mean, that is enough to fry anybody's brain.

Fry whose brain?

Metaphorically speaking.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll come down and meet you.

I'm Matt, by the way.

No more trying to run away.

I'll take this for safe keeping, yeah?

What's strange about the dead woman we found at the theatre is that

she died of an infection antibiotics would have knocked out in days.

Yeah, that's not all.

She's showing antibodies for smallpox, how's that possible?

When I followed her friend through she knew that world.

She knew how to handle those creatures.

Look, I don't think either of them are actually from our time.

I'll work it out. I'm taking her

into protective custody. You're what?

As you said, she clearly isn't from our time,

she could be infectious, hostile, psychotic. No.

We take her in, keep her secure and let the experts deal with her.

Hold on, we are the experts. Look, she's not a creature,

she's a human being. Look, I didn't bring her here.

Whatever happens to her is not my responsibility.

In my judgement we have to treat this with some sensitivity.

In your judgement. Go on, why don't you just say it?

Fine. You chasing her through the anomaly put everyone at risk.

Seen too many people die that way.

We have an incursion at the theatre, one man down. I repeat, we have an incursion.

Great. One man down.

Nice work.

You stay here.
