All language subtitles for Noughts And Crosses s01e02.eng

Another day in the death of Albion,
my friends!

Another day of the media
vilifying the grief-stricken!

Cops!
Come on!

People think I don't like Noughts.
But that's not true.

My favourite is that Nought kid
the cops battered to death

before he could knock his cousin up
and steal my car.

I can't believe they're still rioting.

What other option do they have?
I mean, the boy died.

He attacked the police.

- What if he didn't?
- Of course he did.

Haven't you watched the news?

Another day of peddling lies as truth!

Kia! Kia!

Fact as fiction!

Killing the innocent over and over...

and over again!

The establishment
and it's Aprican masters

showing more distress
over the destruction of Cross property

than the death of a young Nought man!

What's wrong with this?
I give up.

- I'm calling Meggie.
- No, you're not.

It's her morning off.
The passing-in parade at Mercy Point.

Is that still going ahead
with all the protests?

It's just people exercising their right
to speak freely.

But when Noughts try to exercise
that right, the riot police show up.

Oh, is this what we have to expect
now you're gonna be studying politics?

Worse than breakfast with Opal.

Don't you agree with the Prime Minister?

Why else would I be giving
the inauguration speech?

I'll come.

I mean, I'd like to hear it.

You should come, too, Minerva.
Lots of men in uniform.

Oh, keep talking...

- Do I have to stay for the whole thing?
- Yes.

There.
Now you won't show me up.

That suits you, that.

How long's this thing gonna be, anyway?

I don't know.
An hour, maybe two.

You should come with us today.

- It would mean the world to him.
- What, after what happened to Danny?

- This has got nothing to do with that.
- Yes, it does.

I understand
you both have your principles.

But today, I do not care.

Today, I'm going to wear
my fanciest outfit

and have people hand me glasses of wine
and support my son.

If you don't want to come, fine.
But let me have today.

And you...

put on a suit and a smile
and we'll get along just fine.

Atten-shun!

Are you all right?

I slept on the floor last night.

Why?

Someone soaked my mattress in piss.

Don't...
Don't say anything.

You know they'd make it even worse.

Oi!

This area's out of bounds.
To you, anyway.

I don't see a sign.

They probably weren't sure
you could read.

So, Elaine...

is it true?

Nought women in bed.

People say you're pretty crazy.

I hear that's why desperate men
go to Onitemi.

- The call of the wild.
- Desperate? More like depraved.

Look, Elaine, you're making Barnaby
all hot under the collar.

I think you're doing that
all by yourselves.

Not been wetting the bed, have we?

You might want to take a shower
before the parade.

OK, you two.

Make yourselves scarce.
Come on, let's go.

Hurry up, come on.

Let's go.

You will not pass-in anywhere
at this rate. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

What's the matter?
Did you forget something?

...proving to be as controversial
as it is historic.

Look at McGregor!

You'll all end up like that!

- Meggie!
- Hello, girls!

- Hi!
- It never is.

- It's so nice to see you, Ryan.
- You, too.

- Look at you.
- Ah, thank you.

- Over there.
- It's all right. See you in there.

Left, right, left, right.

Left turn!

Left, right, left, right, left.

Squad... halt!

Left turn!

- Egberin abegberin!
- Abegberin!

- Egberin abegberin!
- Abegberin!

Won it in ayunlo ayunbo
lowo yun enu!

Beni, ayun lo ayun bo lowo y'enu!

Ayun lo ayun bo lowo y'enu!

Parade... stand at ease.

Ladies and gentlemen...

this is the first time
I've given the passing-in address

and I must say
what a great honour it is to be here

in this year, of all years.

Change...

Change can be intoxicating.

But before we raise those glasses,

let me remind you of a certain truth.

We must be careful
not to become too homogenised.

Just as you protect your nation...

I urge you, Crosses and Noughts alike,

to protect your identity, too.

It may be unfashionable to say it...

but there is strength...

in difference.

Thank you very much.
Ese gan.

Parade...

fall out!

Look at you!

Well done.

What? No, no.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

All right?

It's Ryan.
Meggie's husband.

- Yeah, we've met before
- Ah, sorry.

- Yes, one meets so many people.
- Yes, one does.

- Interesting speech.
- Oh, you thought so?

I thought you gauged your audience
really well.

Yes, they responded well.

No, I didn't mean the people in here.

Oh, I bumped into Sephy before.

I couldn't believe how much she's grown.

Yes, it's terrifying, isn't it?

- Children are our masters.
- How so?

They make us helpless.

Yeah, well, that's masters for you.

I wanted to say that I'm...

I'm really sorry
about your friend, Callum.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Oh, I don't know.

This is really hard.

I know.

I'm sorry.

This is becoming a familiar sight.

We were just catching up.

You know, we didn't get a chance
to at the party, did we?

Yeah, Sephy was just telling me
about searching courses and stuff.

Searching courses and stuff?

- Come on.
- OK.

Yeah, come on.

Mr Hadley, I should...

I've just seen him on my way here.

Yaro.

Your time off ends
in a couple of hours, Meggie.

Why don't you make the most of it?

You look brilliant today.

Seriously. We were talking about it
during the speech.

- I admire him.
- Yeah.

Hey, what are you doing now?

I was thinking we could go back
to yours, chill by the pool.

Barnaby's not invited.

Whatever.

Are you not heading home?

Nah.

I'm in no-man's land.

I'm not wanted here.
And I'm definitely not wanted there.

Well, you know you could crash at mine
if you wanted.

- My parents won't mind.
- Nah.

Thank you.

I'll see you.

Enjoy your weekend off, McGregor.

It must be nice to get two whole days
for getting drunk on street corners,

- playing with wild Nought women.
- Oh, come on, Lekan.

It's a strength in difference.

Isn't that
what your father said, Sephy?

- I think we should go.
- Cool.

Hey, Lekan...

Actually, I've got a funeral to go to.

Daniel Hickson's.

He was a friend.

Right, let's go, then.

Who is he?

Jack Dorn.

And up until a few weeks ago
he was no-one.

But since the death of the Nought boy
in Meadowview,

he's gained quite the following.

He's calling himself the new leader
of the Liberation Militia, ma'am,

and we're picking up
increasing levels of chatter online.

We recommend arresting him immediately.

Surely that will inflame the situation.
And the LM broke apart years ago.

It's a little more insidious than that,
Prime Minister.

Dorn acts as a kind of binding agent.

All their disparate cells,
without him, they'd dissipate again.

Before you go...

I'm going to commission an independent
inquiry into police brutality.

Prime Minister, such an
investigation would shatter morale.

It'll build trust, diffuse tension,

and it shows a willingness to start
a dialogue, Deputy Commissioner.

We owe the LM nothing,

least of all the legitimacy
such a dialogue would give them.

The right
and some of the press will grumble.

But luckily, we're going to arrest

the chief coordinator
of the Liberation Militia.

That should placate the base.

Interesting times, gentlemen.

- Wouldn't you agree?
- Prime Minister.

Kamal...

I heard your speech.

You're an intelligent man.

Curious, reasonable, rigorous.

But you're planting your flag
on the wrong side of history here,

and you know it.

Why?

What you're advocating...

is chaos.

I've seen chaos.

I've seen what it does.

Who's that with Minerva?

I don't know.
Some guy from the parade, I think.

The parade...
You should be careful, babe.

It's one thing
me seeing you with that Nought.

But anyone else...
It doesn't look good, does it?

Let's get him over.

Minerva's new fella.

I need to vet him.
Make sure he's the right sort.

Yeah.

Hello.
Are you all right, yeah?

Does anyone know anyone
in New Francistown?

Yeah, I've got some mates from school
who live there.

Right, we need bodies to hold the line
down to Ermine Street.

Get your mates over to the Palm Tree
Estate to liaise with our guys there.

- Have you got that?
- Give me their names, I'll go.

No, it's fine, I can do that.
I'm ready.

Stay where you are!

Do not move!

Go!
Go! Go! Go!

I'm glad that's all over,
I can take off this bloody suit.

At least you looked the part, Callum.

Yeah, well, I didn't, though, did I?

Hey, it's hard being the first.

But that's how change happens.
Someone has to pave the way.

Mama, they don't want us there.

And trust me,
they make sure we know it.

Well, your Sergeant Major must like you.

Giving you this time off
for the funeral.

Well, I'm not so sure
they'll want me there, either.

Danny's family.

Don't talk nonsense.
Of course they will.

You we're his friend.

I really hoped you'd come today.

- Sorry, I was busy.
- Yeah, doing what?

Responding, Cal.

They killed our friend,
so I've been busy responding.

Give me one of them.

So, what about you?

Have you changed the system
from the inside yet?

It's difficult.
They're arseholes at that place.

Look, come with me tonight.
Dorn's been arrested, it's chaos.

-I can't, not tonight.
-Well, what about tomorrow?

Look, I've got to see this through.

You're being careful, aren't you?

The LM man...

..you're just a body to them.

And if something happened to you,
they can just replace you.

- As long as you know that.
- Says the soldier.

- Are you all right, Dave?
- No.

I'm trying to get time off
for Danny's funeral.

Okonjo says I can't.

Right, can I have a quick word?
It's about Dave Hickson.

The thing is, boss,
we're a bit confused,

because he's saying you're not giving
him a day off for his kid's funeral.

What I said was he's used up
his allocated time off.

I don't see why I should give him any
more for some daft, blasphemous ritual.

That's his family's faith.
What's he supposed to do?

Well, something Aprican.

What are you talking about?
You're not...

- You're one of us.
- �One of us�?

Which one of us has two cars?

Which one of us has a conservatory?

I am a businessman.

Hey.

Bawo.

I want to see you.

Yeah, I want to see you, too.

- Look, have you heard of Onitemi?
- Onitemi?

People like us... go there.

I don't know if it's safe.
It's in Sanctus.

Even I haven't been to Sanctus,
that's how rough it is.

I'm in.

- Yeah, let's go.
- Are you sure?

Look, I know it's a risk.

But otherwise,
there's nowhere for us to be.

I mean, there's nowhere for us to go
where we'd be left alone.

Any normal place'd call the police
if they caught us.

Are you sure about this, Sephy?

No. Of course not.

I mean, are you?

I don't know.

I'm concerned about this inquiry.

- The message that sends.
- Don't worry.

Even an independent inquiry
needs to be led by a judge.

- And that judge is appointed by me.
- Thank you, Kamal.

That woman...
I don't know.

Actually, Deputy Commissioner,
there is something you can do for me.

There's a man
by the name of Yaro Baloyi.

He's just entered the country.
I'd like to find out where he's staying.

Anything you would like us to deal with?

No, no.
It's a personal matter.

I'll look into it.

There's nothing to talk about, Lekan.
Callum and I hardly know each other.

Can we just drop it, please?

I can't tonight. I've got
that application form to finish.

Look, I'll call you tomorrow, yeah?

- Just me.
- Hi, Meggie.

I'll get someone to put those away
in a minute.

All right.

Ekale.

Lekan.

So, is this your house?

- Yeah.
- Nice. Cosy.

What are you doing here?

I just thought
we should get to know each other.

What with you and Sephy
being such good friends.

- Oh, we're not really.
- Yeah.

One might be forgiven for thinking that,
like, what,

with her having literally
never mentioned you before.

But now, every time I see you...

there she is, too.

Right.
I mean, it's been twice.

Don't contradict me, cadet.

I'm a superior officer.
It's every time.

Sir.

Jo, I'm kidding.

We're off-base.

Your face!

Anyway, all this is to say,
let's go for a drink.

Tonight.

Now.

I mean, that would...

That'd be great, Lekan.

I can't tonight.

I promised I'd spend some time
with my family.

Well, it looks like no-one
wants to come out and play tonight.

Lucky I'm not the paranoid type.

Anyway,
I should probably get back to my car.

I'll probably find the wheels have gone.

Another time, yeah?

What's the occasion?

Nothing.
Just going out with Lekan.

- Lekan?
- Yeah.

What?

It doesn't matter.
You look amazing.

Meggie.

- Has she said anything to you?
- About?

I don't know.
I think she's up to something.

Let's be honest, I'd know the signs.

Following yesterday's arrest
of Jack Dorn,

the so-called leader of
the Liberation Militia terrorist group,

his supporters have made accusations...

- Don't be late.
- Yeah, I won't.

Oh...

- Where's Callum?
- He went out.

Did he say where?

Something about a mate.
Why?

It doesn't matter.

Callum...

- Hey.
- Hi.

You look...

- You look amazing.
- Thank you.

Just put this on before you freeze.

There you go.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

Oh, seriously?

Hi.

Cash only.

Whoa, no.
Hey, whoa, no way.

Hi.

Could I have a beer, please?
What would you...?

Oh, OK.

- It's our free drinks.
- Great!

- Ire o.
- Ire o.

- That was quite something.
- Yeah.

Lekan came to my house tonight.

You're kidding.

- Why did he do that?
- I think he suspects something.

- If he does, it's probably not this.
- Why not?

Because of how he sees you.
I mean, Noughts.

If anything,

it's more likely he suspects
that we're laughing at him.

And trust me, that might be worse.

I'm not hedging my bets,
if that's what you think.

This is total incomprehension
and terror.

I don't know what to do.

Look at this place.
Is this us now?

Right now, yeah.

It's this.

In fact, this might be the best bit.

Do you really think
this could be the best bit?

Maybe.

We should make the most of it, then.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing?
- Come on.

- What are you doing?
- Come on.

- No, no, no.
- Let's go.

No, no, no.
Please, sit down.

- Come on, Callum.
- Please...

Are you going to leave me standing here?

They have rooms here.

Don't you want to?

I didn't say that.

So, what's stopping you?

Are you scared of me, soldier boy?

No.

I'm looking for someone.

They ain't here.

We want a room.
Please.

You look amazing.

Oh, thank you.
You said.

Yeah, sorry.

Why was this easier downstairs?

I think we need another drink.

Not that lighter fluid, though.

I...

I spent the last of my cash on the room.

Oh...

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, it's all right.

Callum...

This is lovely.

Really.

What?!

- Lekan's here!
- What?!

Call yourself a fucking Cross, yeah?

- What do we do? What do we do?
- Just watch the door.

Watch the door!

What the fuck?!

God...!

What?!

Barnaby man!
What the...?!

A fucking blanker?!

Stop!

Sephy...!
Sephy, come on!

You, get up!

Are you OK?

- Sephy, are you OK?
- It was that Nought girl, Callum.

It was Elaine and Barnaby
in the opposite room!

What, from Mercy Point?

- I need... I need to go.
- Sephy, just stop.

- Please, just stop and speak to me.
- I'm fine, I'm fine!

I just need to think.

Look, I'll call you, OK?

- Hello.
- Look, you'll find out soon enough.

Lekan caught me and Barnaby
at that Onitemi place.

I can't go back to Mercy Point now.

The roof is coming down on my head.

- And maybe yours, too.
- What happened? Are you OK?

I saw you walk off with Lekan's
girlfriend at the parade.

What are you playing at, Callum?

It's not what you think.
Look, we can't give up now.

You heard what the Home Secretary said.
Stay different.

Stay unequal.
Stay at the bottom, where you belong.

Elaine, please, don't say anything
about Sephy. Please.

You're strong.
You'll get through this.

-We'll be all right.
-Will we?

Linda.

I'm so sorry.

Danny was dead proud of you.

He said you going to Mercy Point...

was the start.

And then they killed him.

So, it's hard to know what he'd say now.

- Callum...
- Sorry.

Thank you so much for coming, mate.

Until we meet again.

Right, on your feet.
Come on, all of you.

Out you go.
Come on, come on!

Up.
Come on.

Let's go, move, move.

Well, well.
You lot really are rattled.

I believe there's something
of an overlap...

in our ambitions.

But first, a couple of things.

Opal Folami.

A Prime Minister,
who's promising you more rights

than you've had in generations.

Yet, we see no reduction
in your activities.

Quite the opposite.

- You killed a teenager.
- Yes. Sadly.

The tenth Nought this year to die
in police custody or during arrest.

But that's a significant drop,
compared to this time last year.

- And yet...
- You think we should be grateful?

No, no.

I think it's indicative
of a shift in mentality,

motivated largely by the Prime Minister.

My point is
you're responding with more violence.

She's more dangerous than you.

She'll give us just enough rights
to keep us docile

and just enough liberty
to take away our rage.

Oh, yes.

But I wish it were that cynical.
I could respect that.

No, she does it because she believes it.

I don't care how long you've been here,
this is an occupation.

One other thing.

This, erm...

distaste for Aprica.

Noughts there
are almost completely equal to Crosses.

What, would you be happy
being almost completely equal to me?

Mr Dorn...

I'm gonna make sure that you're...

free to continue your activities.

You want the Prime Minister gone.

I want the Prime Minister gone.

Which means we have business together.

I said, you couldn't take the day off.

It turns out he didn't need it,
he was off anyway.

We'd swapped shifts so I could go
to my son's inauguration the other day.

- Well, where were you, then?
- A bug.

- Yeah, we've all had it.
- Well, get back to work, then.

There's all them to unload.
And no overtime!

Not you, McGregor.
You're done.

Don't look at me
like you didn't expect it.

They're good lads.
But you just lead them on.

Empty out your locker.

You'd best get to work, mate.

I'll call you.

Lekan...

I want to talk.

How are you doing?

- Did you finish your application?
- Hm?

Did you finish your application?
It seemed very urgent.

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- Good.

Listen...

I've been thinking about us and....

I'm sorry, but I can't do this any more.
I...

- No.
- I think...

No?

We don't do this.

You don't do this.

You've been thinking?

- Curious timing, by the way.
- What?

Has someone else been helping you
with your thinking, Sephy?

- No.
- Hm?

Funnily enough, I'm usually able
to process thoughts and ideas myself.

Anyway, go home.
And don't worry, I'm not pissed off.

I don't love you.

- What?
- I don't love you, Lekan.

Do you think any of that matters?

This...
This is...

It's about putting things in place.
It's about preserving continuity.

So, you don't love me.

- We'll manage.
- No, we won't. I want better than this.

- No, you don't.
- Yeah, I do!

- No, you don't! No, you don't!
- Yeah, I do!

No, you don't!
You don't.

See, I've already told you,
this is about continuity.

That is what it's about. That's what
you want, or you're an idiot.

Just fucking listen to me, Lekan!
Just listen to me!

What was I thinking with you?

You know what?
To be fair, you were right.

We were easy.
We didn't take a second thought.

No, but I...
I'm a bit more ambitious now, yeah?

You should try it.

I've got some stuff in your quarters.
I don't want it. Burn it.

Sephy...

Look, Sephy, Sephy, Sephy...

- Please...
- No.

- Don't do this to me.
- No! No! No!

Stop being so scared all of the time.

Or you'll lose everything.

You could go back, you know?

- He'll have cooled down now.
- I'm not gonna grovel.

- Ryan, this is our...
- No.

Meggie, please.

I know Okonjo. He's a stubborn bastard.
He's not gonna change his mind.

Yeah, I suppose it'll be all right.

If we're careful.

Callum's earning now.

Don't worry, I'll find something.

I shouldn't have gone.

He was your friend.

Well, in a way, they took that, too.

Jude's right,
it's not just me, my ambition.

It's wider than that.

Let me know
if you need a hand with that.

I've got to admit
I never thought you'd be first out.

Most of my family aren't talking to me.

The ones that are
eat on the wage I'm bringing in.

I know the shit you've got planned.
It's pointless.

Well, you should have thought about that

before you tried to seduce
a superior officer.

We both know who pursued who.

Which one of us had more to lose.

It's not as if we're the only ones.

Why were you there?

Since when do you go south of the river?

You were looking for someone.

Lekan wasn't hurt.
He was just more sort of...

outraged.

Kind of like I'd stolen
something from him.

Well, that's good, isn't it?

I know why you were at Onitemi.

You were looking for her.

I said...
I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't want everyone knowing, do you?

You know what?

I've changed my mind.

I think I'm gonna stay
and you aren't gonna stop me.

So how does this end?

I mean, have you thought of that?
How is all of this going to end?
