[man's voice] When I was a child, if we were sick, we were cured.

If we were in need, we were given help.

As population grew, disease took over the world, and everything changed.

Governments fell, wars broke out and new regimes grew.

If you were rich, you were given a cure,

and you went to live inside Arcadia.

[man screaming] Grace!

Grace!

Grace!

Grace!

[helicopter approaching]

[woman] How long is it going to take you to close those curtains?

Sorry.

I can't stop looking at it.

What time's the draw?

Ten minutes.

[woman] Is Grace asleep?

[coughing]

- Have you taken it yet? - In a minute.

- Can I get you anything? - Tea?

[man on video] Since the segregation policies have started,

we have been responsible for over 400,000 people

extending their life expectancy.

[applause]

We are a success.

And I am proud

to be the leader of this great surviving nation.

We have survived,

where others have fallen.

[cheering and applause]

At the same time, we must do better.

It cannot be acceptable to us, as a society,

that life expectancy outside Arcadia,

for those who have not received a cure, continues to fall.

We cannot, and we do not

pretend that this society is equal.

[applause]

We could have been crippled by disease.

Those in Arcadia live to 130 plus.

I can't deny that it is unacceptable, for non-residents,

to have a life expectancy of 39.

But we made a choice.

Do we suffer together, as one population,

or survive apart?

divided into those who have been cured and those who we fight for.

We all know that the medication regimes that regular citizens are given,

are essential, keeping them alive.

Doctors are doing what they can,

but we cannot cure everyone.

Medication is the key to preventing further outbreaks,

it is the key to giving citizens the life they do have.

Tonight, we celebrate the annual citizen lottery...

- I haven't missed it, have I? - No, they're just about to draw the numbers.

Thanks.

[man on video] ...our society. Good luck everyone.

We look forward to welcoming our winners into Arcadia, in the coming days.

- How many lines do we have? - Six.

- I'm sorry, I couldn't afford any more. - Stop, it's fine.

That's local government work, for you.

Don't worry. One day, you'll have all the tickets you could ever want.

Or maybe, I could just get us the cure.

...to Arcadia, to receive your highly expensive treatment,

and then shown to your brand new homes,

where you will enjoy years and years of healthy happy life.

So, the winning numbers in tonight's draw are...

30,

8,

45,

32,

19,

and 22!

Thank you for tuning in, and good luck checking those tickets...

- It's OK, darling. - It's not.

[celebratory screams from neighbors' apartment]

At least, we know it's possible to win.

[man on video] ...and the doctor's opinion is final.

And now, for further exciting news,

Prime Minister Ryder has announced the Guardian Entry Program.

I am now joined by Mr. Nigel Stuart, the executive director of GEP.

Mr. Stuart, perhaps, you could tell us a little about the new program.

The Guardian Entry Program, an initiative approved by our founders,

where any citizen can earn a place in Arcadia for their families.

Any citizen wishing to join the program

should call their community center, first thing in the morning.

- What was that surname, again? - Whitelow.

Excellent. Current employment?

Junior Councilor in Sector 7.

Well done, you.

How many dependents would you like to bring into Arcadia with you?

What are the rules?

No more than two.

My wife Abigail, and my daughter, Grace.

Is your daughter enrolled in the academy?

- She's only 11. - She can start from 12.

Once they've completed 15-year service,

successful graduates are given the cure and a place in Arcadia.

I'll give you some of our literature at the end.

[tablet beeps]

Ah, just to check...

have you got the new implant?

- No, what is it? - Very simple, a chip in the wrist.

It just vibrates, every time you need to take your medication,

lets us know you're keeping up to date.

If you don't take your medication, it incapacitates you,

puts you into a controlled coma, so you can be safely transferred

to the nearest hospital, to be medicated.

Sounds a little extreme.

It's better than dying.

We need healthy employees.

You are, after all, an investment.

It's compulsory, if you want to join the program.

Should I put you down for one?

- Yes. - Excellent.

Fingerprint?

[tablet beeps]

To confirm, you will be assigned a handler.

Handlers are members of Arcadia,

and they will provide you with tasks that will earn you points,

and enough points, and you'll get a new life in Arcadia.

- How long will it take? - It isn't defined.

Your handler will tell you, shouldn't be too long.

We are interested in welcoming people to Arcadia,

not finding reasons to keep them out.

- Your handler will be... - [tablet beeps]

Jacob Harlow.

My wife if fairly ill.

It'll be months,

not years.

[muffled announcer on the radio]

[sound of rain on windows]

[electronic voice] Medication alert, please take your prescribed medication.

[phone rings]

- Hello? - Hey buddy, got another job for you, it's a quick one.

What is it?

It's just one target, he's a 37-year-old male.

He's a level one primary target, we just need you to babysit him.

[Charlie] Babysit him?

Yeah, just basics, make sure he doesn't go anywhere, keep an eye on him.

That sould be about it.

You'll receive further instructions once you're there.

Well, what do you need doing?

Just keep him alive. Uh, give me a moment.

Susan, can you bring up Charlie Whitelow's points record?

[electronic voice] Certainly, Jacob. Mr. Whitelow's points record on screen now.

Wow, you're really close to your points total.

A few lucky turns in this job could be it. Open doors, buddy.

[Charlie] Really?

You sit tight, my guy's pretty close with the package.

End call.

[rain falling on car windows]

[loud knock on window]

[motor whirrs]

[Susan] Call from unknown number.

Accept.

- Mr. Harlow? - Yo.

I've got Prime Minister Ryder for you.

Just connecting you now.

[Prime Minister Ryder] Mr. Harlow, Adrian Ryder here.

Hello, sir.

I've been informed that you have a man working on the Adam Black case

- Yes, sir. - Is he capable?

He is one of our best guardians, sir.

Excellent, I want oversight of this operation.

- OK, sir. - Report back to me every two hours.

Yes, sir.

Do you have family outside Arcadia?

Yes, sir. A-a sister and a nephew, sir.

Bear in mind that a good performance from your team

could lead to a place in Arcadia for them.

- Yes, sir. - [Susan] Call ended.

Show me Adam Black's profile.

[Susan] Appearing now, Jacob.

Who the fuck are you?

Wow.

[thunder in the distance]

Hands above your head.

Hands above your head. Don't speak.

[Charlie] Stand up.

On your feet.

[chair scrapes floor]

Pick up that chair.

Susan, can you give me a feed to G5's phone?

Certainly, Jacob. Audio or video?

- Can we have both? - We certainly can, Jacob.

- Phone only, for now. - Audio activated.

[Charlie through phone] Move faster, pick up that chair and move through there.

[Susan] Would you like me to optimize sound quality, Jacob?

Yes.

[Charlie] Move over there, no sudden movements. Don't be stupid.

[Susan] Call from Ben Hazelwood, of Central Security Services.

Accept.

[Ben] All right, mate, how is it going?

Hey, did my clearance request come through?

[Ben] Sure, there's six cameras on that road.

- Six? You joking? - [Charlie] Sit down.

I got more cameras pointed on me, right now.

[Charlie] Use this to tie your legs...

[Ben] You want me to send 'em over to you?

Sure, give me access.

[Susan] Call ended.

[Adam] If you want money, or something, y-you've come to the wrong place...

Mouth. Shut.

Whatever you want, this isn't the way to...

What did I say?

You're welcome to take anything you want, whatever this is about, I...

Seriously, if you don't shut up,

this is gonna last a lot less time than I expect it to.

Do we understand each other?

- [jingle starts] - [announcer] This is an Arcadia news alert.

We are just receiving a report from city police

that a gas explosion has just caused serious damage

at the Sector 4 Community Center.

The reports are coming in to us from several sources,

but as we have it, there are several prospective deaths.

Stay connected for more updates.

[jingle plays]

- Please don't give me any medication. - [Charlie zips bag].

Please don't.

If you try anything...

[Ben, on phone] There's no fucking way that's a gas explosion.

Look at the size and color. Gas doesn't explode like that.

Looks pretty huge to me.

Give me a second.

Look at this link.

- Shit, what are you doing sending me that? - Calm down.

- I can get thrown out just for... - Don't be ridiculous,

Nobody is interested in what you're looking at.

[Susan] Call from unknown number.

- Accept. - [Ryder] What are you doing?

- I'm sorry, I... - You're meant to have updated me.

Has your man got Black?

Yes he has him.

- Alive? - Oh, yeah.

You have to use controversial tactics sometimes.

Are you ready for that?

Um... Yeah, I guess.

You need your agent in the palm of your hand.

Find something, something he cares about.

Just remind him that you have the power, and tell him what he needs to hear.

Promise him something, something he wants.

Promise him he can meet the founders, if you think it will work.

OK.

You arranged the medication package?

Yeah.

Good. Keep me up to date.

[Susan] Call ended.

- Call G5. - Calling Guardian Five, now.

- [Charlie] Hello? - Hey, Charlie, how is it going?

I've got him.

Can you send me some evidence? Just a picture, or something?

He's alive.

He's absolutely fine.

Look, whoever this guy is,

he's got the powers-that-be excited, here.

You need to work pretty closely with me, on this one.

Yeah.

Yeah, I will.

You should receive a package, soon.

You need to medicate him with the prescription inside, just follow the instructions.

It's a basic medication, just to keep him cooperative and healthy.

Sure.

How's your daughter, Charlie?

She doin' all right?

She's, um...

She's fine.

- Doing good at the academy? - I hope so.

Good.

I just had it confirmed,

You finish this job, you both get to come and live in Arcadia.

You both get the cure, everything you've ever wanted.

Can you keep me updated?

Yeah.

[muffled] Grace!

[muffled woman voice]

Is there someone else in the house?

[indistinct woman voice]

[stairs creaking]

- [Ben] I've got some info on the address you're tracking. - Fire away.

It's pretty obscure, and I had to dig pretty deep for this.

- How deep? - You don't wanna know. Off-tower service.

Jesus Christ, Ben, if I get a bullet in the back of my...

Calm down, you don't need to worry.

What is it, then?

The address your guy is at, it's an old family home of Paul Frost.

And he is?

It doesn't matter who he is, it matters that his daughter is Marianna Frost.

- OK. - She was a founding member of Free Care.

Here, look at this.

I can't really look at this.

Wouldn't they expect you to research your target?

I guess so.

You should see some of their speeches, I mean,

they accuse the government of manipulating medical care,

making the cure this unobtainable goal.

[indistinct woman voice]

[woman voice grows louder]

[Ben] Listen to what her file says.

M. Frost was found guilty whilst absent,

in connection with several terrorist acts.

She was largely responsible for the growth in Free Care's membership.

Four years ago,

Frost disappeared after claiming that it was possible to find a natural cure,

and her experiments would prove so.

Her activity with Free Care immediately stopped, and she became untraceable.

Government officials insisted that Frost, a trained biologist, stop her research,

claiming that it was illegal and immoral.

What do they do with their implants, if they don't want to be traced?

They just cut them out. Frost was almost entirely untraceable

to Free Care members, as she went under a different name...

- [computer beeps] - Whoa, whoa, stop!

- What was the name she used? - Um...

Let me see, two seconds.

During her time at Free Care, Frost used the name of her husband.

Adam Black.

[muffled woman's voice in the background]

[woman's voice] ...I utterly believe

that there's something that we can do to help our economy and the population.

And I'm aware of the people in our organization that consider me to be mad,

or a conspiracy theorist, or maybe even insane, but I know what we can prove.

Our bodies don't need constant medication.

We've become slaves to a system,

which failed to manage a disease,

and then got us hooked on medication which barely keeps us alive.

And now we sit here, dreaming of a cure.

We fight for it, many of us die for it.

Our experiments will prove that we can clean our systems.

[Ben] Listen to this, two years ago,

Frost's name appeared on a list of deceased at a small regional hospital.

She was believed to have died following the failure of her experiment.

So, she's dead and he's... what?

Desperately trying to prove she was right?

Do me a favor, write this number down,

874 283 176.

- If you can't get me on here, call this number. - You got it.

City officials have confirmed,

that the explosion was caused by a gas leak,

in an antiquated heating system,

located in the slum building next to the Sector 4 Community Center.

- I believe we can now go to a video feed... - [chair scrapes]

from a bystander, Ms. Laurel Hobbs,

who works as a nurse in Sector 4.

Ms. Hobbs, what exactly have you witnessed there, this evening?

[Ms. Hobbs] Hi, James, it's pandemonium, here, it's crazy.

Just one huge explosion...

[announcer] And your response to the news that the founders and Prime Minister Ryder

have announced an aid package for the sector?

[Ms. Hobbs] Yeah I think that's a really great thing...

[altered voice] Free health care for everyone!

It is a right of every citizen to have access to the cure.

Long life for the masses, not just for the few.

This is the start of a new revolution.

Free care will make its last stand!

[Ms. Hobbs] Uh, sorry James. No, I don't know what's going on here...

[altered voice] We demand an end to the oppression of the government.

Free care will make its last stand.

[announcer] We...

Uh... apologize for that disturbance.

Mute feed one.

- Susan, can you arrange these videos by most viewed? - Certainly, Jacob!

[computer beeps]

- Now show me them in order. - Playing now.

[woman's voice] When Free Care was established, it stood for care and cures for everyone.

We were against the elitist system that only provided cures for the rich,

or for those who had been selected.

And if cures were so expensive,

then what was being done to bring them to the mass populace?

We were just a pressure group, hoping to lobby government.

[water fizzes]

I believe that at the heart of it, people are good.

We've established a rural testing site,

to prove that there may be a natural, and therefore cost-effective cure

to the diseases that have crippled this planet.

We're hoping that we may be able to use clean blood to cure others,

like a daisy-chain effect.

We will not take medication of any kind.

You either drink this now, or...

I'll force you.

Please.

Just drink your medicine, it's no different to what you take every single day.

You have no idea.

Fine.

[Adam groans]

- Activity alarm, Guardian 5... - Play feed.

- Playing now. - [Adam groans]

[Adam panting] No, please.

- Oh shit. - Don't.

Call G5 now.

[phone ringing]

[Adam breathing heavily]

Please, don't. Please! No!

Susan, can you provide me with a video feed from G5's phone camera?

Clearance code request?

- 5768. - Accepted.

[Adam's voice] No, please. Don't do this. Please. Unh, ah!

- [Adam gags] Ah! - [Charlie] Keep still! Stop it.

[Charlie] Stop it and this will hurt a lot less, all right?

[groans]

[phone still ringing]

[screaming]

[panting]

[screaming]

[Adam gags]

[screams]

Hey. Oh, fuck, stop!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Shit.

[phone ringing in background]

Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck. Oh, shit.

[Adam gasps, pants]

[adam gagging]

Stop it, stop it.

[dial tone continues]

- Eye drops, Charlie. Eye drops. - [Charlie] Oh, shit. Shit!

Oh, fucking hell!

Shit!

All right.

OK, OK.

[Charlie] Sorry, I was busy.

Everything all right?

He had a reaction to the medication, fair to say he wasn't keen to take it.

Sounds like it.

Look, I'm not stupid.

There was a video playing upstairs,

a woman talking about how she was refusing to take medication...

Charlie, you know I can't tell you anything.

You'd lose your points.

OK.

Sit tight. Look after yourself.

This thing. Won't be long til you're back with your daughter.

Yeah.

[Susan] Call ended.

[thunder in distance]

[ringing tone]

[Grace] Hey, Dad.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm OK.

Where are you, Dad?

I'm, uh... I'm just working, Grace.

You missed a payment.

Oh, shit.

I heard that.

Look, I can, uh... I can pay it next week, how much is it?

65 credits.

I'm sorry. Things are just pretty mad in here, right now.

You remember Captain Miller?

The old politics teacher?

Yeah, that's him. He came back into the academy today.

Told us what a big mistake he had made.

He accepted being banned. It was just so weird.

- That is weird, hon. - That's not the strangest part.

Then he got dragged out, cause he was trespassing...

[electronic voice] Medication alert...

They just told us he was crazy, and that we shouldn't speak to him again.

[chip vibrates]

He looked awful,

like he'd been beaten up.

[metal rattles]

- Dad? - Uh-huh?

- Are you OK? - Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

[chip vibrates]

I mean, you know... with today, and everything.

Yeah. Look, can you, uh...

Can you call me back tomorrow?

OK.

Ah!

[breathes heavily]

[electronic voice] Thank you for complying.

- [Grace] Are you OK? - [Charlie] Yeah, yeah. I'm-I'm fine.

[audio rewinds]

[Grace] You remember Captain Miller?

[Charlie] The old politics teacher?

[Grace] Yeah, that's him.

He came back into the academy today.

[Susan] Is communication 746H3 acceptable?

Yes.

Thank you, Mr. Harlow.

[TV announcer] ...even if we do live different lives.

And that's why we have announced that we... [voice breaks up]

[altered voice] We have your TV signal.

We bomb your buildings.

We are Free Care,

and we demand equal rights.

This is a war against those who oppress.

This war will not stop.

This is a time for action and you will see your society fall.

We were responsible for the bombing today of your Sector 4 Community Center.

There is nothing "community" about them.

They are the government's grip on a real people's world.

Nothing more than centers for the propaganda of a totalitarian regime.

Center 4 will not be the last to fall.

[static]

- [agitated chatter in background] - Uh...

- We apologize... - [device beeps off]

Call Ben Hazelwood.

This operative's line is no longer in use.

How could it not be in use, Susan?

I cannot make a connection for Mr. Hazelwood.

Mr. Hazelwood is not listed as an Arcadia employ...

Show me Feed 1.

...was arrested this afternoon.

He was believed to be working for the Free Care terrorist organization,

and instrumental in today's attacks.

No, no... Wh-

The police will hold Hazelwood and question him as to his in...

[Susan] Call from unknown number.

Accept.

[man's voice] Harlow? What's your update?

I need to talk to Mr. Ryder.

- He's too busy to talk to you. - It's urgent.

Fine, I'll connect you now.

- [Ryder] What is it? - Sir...

Hazelwood, they've arrested him, he was just helping me.

He wasn't involved, I think you've done the wrong th-thing.

The wrong thing?

You know, I'm not used to people questioning my actions.

I answer only to the Founders.

But please, perhaps you can enlighten me

on what it is that I've done that so offends you.

Perhaps you can provide me with some feedback.

I suppose that...

I can remove you from your job, if you think that we are no longer compatible.

What do you say?

Should we just say I made the right choice?

Yes, sir.

[Susan] Call ended.

[knock on door]

- [man's voice through the door] Hello? - Shit.

Is anybody in there?

Hello?

I see you in there.

Don't worry, I understand. Can't be too careful.

Is Adam in there?

No, he's, uh...

He's not there?

- No. - Really?

He's gone away, I'm looking after the house for him.

That's odd, I'd remember him mentioning it if he was going away

Pretty sure it's something he would tell me, too.

It was last minute.

Just bringing some eggs round for him. We've got the house down the road.

Bring them over every couple of days.

Always nice to have a fresh supply isn't it?

Susan, activate voice recognition.

Processing voice recognition.

This is Rory Cook, file available for you now.

[remote clicks, scrolls]

What happened to him?

Rory Cook was a member of the Guardian Entry Program.

Eggs are the only fresh food you can get your hold of nowadays, aren't they?

That and the carrots we grow in the garden.

Guess I'll just put them out here on the step if you're not happy opening the door.

Thank you.

- Research trip, is it? - Sorry?

Did Adam go on a research trip?

Yeah, that's right.

Fascinating stuff he works on. I struggle just to take the right pills at night.

He's in there, doing what he does.

I've always fancied taking a look at his materials. Must be fascinating.

OK.

All right, then.

Let me know if you need anything, I'm just down the road.

Keep an eye on the house, a close eye.

You can never be too careful.

Make any sound and I will pull the trigger.

Please don't medicate me.

[Charlie] Who are you?

Don't give me any more medication.

It's medication, it's not gonna kill you.

Just don't-don't give me anything.

Don't give me anything. Please, you don't know how important this is,

you can do what you want, but please... Don't!

Shut up.

Oh, come on, you're not chicken farmer.

Switch to camera 6.

- Activate sound feed. - [Susan] Camera 6 sound feed activated.

[phone rings]

Hello?

[man's voice] Hey, there.

- Any company? - One at least.

I couldn't get him to open the door,

I was pretending to be the friendly neighbor.

Brilliant. Sit tight.

[ringing tone]

Yeah, he's there.

[altered voice] Good.

They've got company, one of Ryder's guardians.

He should be easy enough to deal with,

If there's any chance he's still alive,

it's the key that will start this revolution.

An un-medicated human.

The natural, free cure.

And then they burn.

How soon can we have the units there? We need to protect him.

Six hours?

Get your man that's already there to keep an eye on the house.

Once the units are up there, you move in and take them.

What should we do with the guardian?

He's with them. Kill him.

[Abigail] I can't quite understand why you've asked me to do this.

You seemed to hate the sound of my voice when I was alive.

[coughs]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Facing this, like so many people before me,

has been a real challenge.

I've had...

Wait... wait.

That sounds appalling. [chuckles]

I sound like a bloody appeal video.

What I meant to say

is that dealing with the idea

that I won't be here any longer,

it's been really difficult.

But it would have been far more difficult if you weren't here for me.

I was reading a book a couple of days ago, and something in it really stuck.

It said that since the outbreaks,

and since segregation,

Most people in the general populace have decided to live single lives.

[coughs]

having children only through the donation scheme.

and avoiding connections

that could be painful in the end.

It called love an ancient concept,

only practiced by the privileged few.

[coughs]

Anyway, I just think...

Bollocks to that.

If anyone can tell me that the way I feel about you

is dangerous, because it wont last,

if anyone can tell me that this isn't love, well...

I'll tell them just what I think.

I don't think there is a way to explain...

why you go out, every day,

and try to find a better life for us,

why you try and get the cure for Grace.

[coughs]

I know that when I'm gone, you'll carry on fighting for her life.

You do that for love.

[phone ringing in background]

[phone grows louder]

- Hello? - [Jacob] Charlie?

I've been calling for ages, what's wrong?

Must have, um...

Must have drifted off.

OK, well, next time, let me know, will you?

I can keep an eye out and wake you from here if needs be.

I've had it before, it hurts like hell.

Well, it's an implant to your nervous system, Charlie, not a back rub.

[chuckles] I guess.

We got a change of orders, uh... New directive.

Good news is you're gonna smash this points total when you're done,

you'll probably get the penthouse suite, not just the cure.

What do you mean, change of orders?

I though I was just looking after him.

You are, Charlie, you are, but now you're gonna be looking after him while moving.

- Why? - It's a direct order from Ryder's office.

- Yeah, OK. - The Founders want Black brought in.

OK.

It might not be that easy...

- Adam Black, um... - What?

Well... He's a target and he needs to be brought in alive.

We're gonna need to work together on this.

I want to know more about him.

I can't tell you, but...

I guess I can't stop you from looking.

Fine.

[Susan] Call ended.

- Show me feed 1. - Feed 1 opening now.

Mr. Stuart was captured by Free Care operatives

whilst on a community visit to Sector 4, with his wife, Naomi.

Mr. Stuart is the creator of the highly successful Guardian Entry Program,

a program he still runs to this day.

Free Care are said to have attacked his vehicle in a deadly ambush.

A few moments ago, Mr. Adrian Ryder had this to say...

- Call RDS. - ...on the matter.

It is with great regret that we learn of the capture

of one of our most valued members.

Nigel Stuart is a great servant to Arcadia.

A man who has the values of the Founders at heart, in his every action.

The GEP is Nigel's creation.

Our police are doing everything they can to recover Nigel

and his wonderful partner, Naomi Stuart.

- Jesus Christ. - Arcadia will not be threatened.

We will not lie quietly whilst you take bites at us.

We will fight back.

[announcer] We are just receiving a new...

[woman's voice] Regional Data Service.

I've got a sat call trace request for you. Quad 847422.

A sat call that far out? Are you sure?

Certain. I tried to run a basic trace but nothing came up.

- What time period? - Anything in the last 24 hours.

Sure, I'll get on it. Give me 20 minutes.

[Susan] Call ended.

- He is believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of... - [voice breaks up]

[altered voice] It has come to our attention

that your authorities are doing everything they can

to prevent our mission from succeeding.

Your firepower is weaker than expected,

and the people are standing up to say, we will not be intimidated.

We will fight for our lives.

If government authorities enter our territory at any time,

then we will make you pay.

More of your facilities will be targeted, and more will lose their lives.

Ah, we lost it.

Can't we keep a feed up for more than 30 seconds?

Do you know how much of a miracle it is we got into their system at all?

My wife, please. Where is she?

- You shouldn't worry yourself about that. - Please...

Just tell me she's OK.

She'll live.

[gasps] Please.

[masked man] Turn it off.

[masked man] Do what's required of you, and she lives.

If you touch her, you're all dead, you do know that, don't you?

Every single last one of you.

They won't let you get away with this, cause you're...

You're rats!

[Stuart] Yeah, you feed off the successful, you feed off those who gave you life.

Without Arcadia, you'd all be dead.

[masked man] Call the doctor, get the procedure started on him.

Get him ready for the handover, then we clear this place, understood?

[Marianna] Withdrawal has not been easy.

Adam seems to react to it better.

He's younger, I think that helps.

I'm considering ending the experiment.

Adam disagrees. He says you need to get worse to get better.

Whatever that means.

Didn't happen to him.

I think the doctor may have been doing more than we thought.

I think he might have been keeping me alive.

So, here it goes.

My condition has improved,

our relationship hasn't.

Adam's insisting that I've abandoned our push.

Remarkably, he-he seems all right.

Although, he's definitely weaker.

[Adam's voice] Well, she's gone.

I guess she, uh...

I guess she just believed something different to me.

She wants to be remembered here.

Her family home.

[click]

I've been medication-free for three years, 10 months, and two days.

I know that sounds highly improbable. I know it does.

In order to prove all this completely,

I have to live well beyond the average lifespan

for an uncured, untreated human.

I've been sticking to the routine.

All I eat is fresh, home-grown produce, no-no ration packs.

Somehow... I'm still clean.

I don't know if this could be the same for everyone, or if...

or if there's just something special about me.

What I do know is... I need conclusive proof.

- [Susan] Call from Regional Data Service. - Accept. Hello?

[woman from RDS] Hi, Jacob, I've got three calls from that location.

Great, can you set a trace on the phone?

There's a bit of a problem, it's encrypted.

- Well, can't you just break it? - It's unlike anything I've seen before.

- [static electricity sound] - [whirring down]

Fuck.

- [beeps] - [system starts back up]

[Susan] Good morning, Mr. Harlow. How are you, this morning?

- Call from Guardian 5. - Accept.

Who the fuck is Adam Black, there's so much here!

- Look, what you... - Marianna Black, I don't know, it looks like she gave up.

But she's dead, he's alive.

He's saying he hasn't had medication for three years.

He's clean, he's cured himself. We shouldn't have medicated him, seriously.

If you look at him, he looks like the healthiest guy I've seen in years.

Not a single issue.

Then, I stick that fucking liquid in him and he looks like he's knocking on death's door.

Even if he is clean, Charlie, it took him three years.

You haven't got that long, have you?

Here, it's instant. You, Grace, cured.

That's what Arcadia offers you.

It's not pretty, but you got to think about your own life, Charlie.

[Susan] Activity on cameras 4, 6, and 2.

Show me the feed.

Shit. You got company approaching from the west.

[sighs] Get out of there. Get somewhere safe and wait for further instructions.

I'm heading out. I can stop them.

No, no. J-just-just leave. Protect the asset.

[power shutting down again]

[Jacob] Fuck!

[panting]

[man shouting outside]

[gunshots]

[slides blade back in]

[door opens]

Have you got a car? Have you got a car?

- Keys? - [mumbles] In there.

[radio announcer] ...Police are closing in on the captives of Nigel Stuart.

Past half an hour, it was confirmed

that the government has identified the kidnappers,

and the situation is under control.

[radio announcer muffled]

...of both Nigel and Naomi is thought to be close.

Once again, we have Prime Minister Ryder to thank

for the return of safety to our society.

Free Care's power continues to be crushed. The word that...

...ensures that we're able to return to Arcadia.

[gasps]

[coughs]

...Free Care will have no legacy of power.

Citizens are reminded to report all suspicious...

[man] How could they possibly have gotten away?

[man on phone] Well, what do you want me to tell you?

I don't want to hear your voice again, until you found him.

Find Black, and kill the guardian A-fucking-SAP.

There's only three of us.

Split up, then! We need him, alive, and not in the tower.

- [helicopter sounds] - [sirens outside]

[electric saw buzzing]

[Stuart] Wait, please, no, wait. A-Ah! Ah! AH!

[screaming]

Susan, call Guardian 5.

[Susan] Your system access has been restricted. You now have basic cred...

What? Call Guardian 5.

Your system access has been restricted. You now have basic cred...

Susan, call Central Security.

Your system access has been restricted. You now have b...

Susan, reboot the system!

Your system access has been restricted. You now have...

Susan, my name is Jacob Harlow and I've been locked out of my system.

I need you to give me access.

You have been reassigned, Mr. Harlow.

You are instructed to remain where you are until further notice.

- Who ordered that? - Central Security Service.

- What about my case load? - Redistributed. Please remain in position until notified.

Call Guardian 5!

Your system access has been restricted. You now have basic credentials.

[doctor] You have to be careful with him.

He may be very volatile, anything could happen.

- But it works? - To the best of my abilities.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Off you go.

[phone rings]

Hello?

I was given this number by Ben Hazelwood.

I believe he was working with you.

[man] I think you got the wrong number.

I don't.

They've taken Ben, and I think they're gonna do the same to me. I don't...

I'm sorry, I don't know who you think you got through to.

I know exactly who you are. I'm a level four operative, I have family in Sector 5,

and I want to see them again. I don't want to be taken.

You tell me what you need me to do for you to get me out of here.

I know you have control of this building.

Fine, wait for our call.

[Susan] Call ended.

Fuck.

[phone ringing]

[Charlie whistling]

[Adam panting]

Charlie, it's Adrian Ryder, here.

I'm personally taking over the management of your task from Jacob Harlow.

- Is Mr. Black with you now? - He's staring at my gun, right now.

Excellent. It should be clear to you by now

that Mr. Black is a rather valuable package.

Why exactly do you want him so much?

We want to study him, Charlie.

Adam Black has kept his rather fantastic research to himself for years.

But this could be the breakthrough that saves millions of lives.

I'm sure you can appreciate that.

We want to analyze his blood and work out what it is that makes him immune.

We spent billions of pounds a year trying to find an affordable cure,

so that ordinary humans can have it,

and here is a man who may have developed one for free.

We can't let him fall into the hands of terrorists.

They won't know how to handle such an important asset.

Understood?

- [Charlie] Yes. - Good.

Now, you're safest flying into Arcadia.

I'm sending someone to help you. He'll pick you up and bring you here directly.

You'll need to find some clear ground.

OK.

Not long, now, Charlie.

You're very, very close.

- [gunshot] - [Charlie screams]

[groans] Fuck!

Ah, shit!

[gunshot]

Ah!

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

- [gunshot] - [window shatters]

[gunshot]

- [gunshot] - [window shatters]

[gunshot]

You'll never get away with it. There's plenty of us after ya.

You'll die at the hands of Free Care.

[gunshot]

[footsteps on leaves]

Get up.

[man] Get up.

Get up.

You're gonna wear this.

It's linked to an explosive in your implant.

The minute you get to Ryder, you take it off.

[panting] How'd you... even know that... they're gonna take me to him?

[man] They're gonna roll out the red carpet for you, mate.

We'll tell them you killed ten of us trying to escape.

[breathes heavily]

If you try and get caught, we kill Naomi.

If you avoid being with Ryder, we'll kill Naomi.

You follow the instructions.

Any divergence... she's gonna die.

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm not involved. It's just my job.

I'm innocent.

- [masked man] You think you're innocent? - I am innocent.

You have no shame, no guilt.

[Stuart sobs]

I do, it's just... Why is this happening?

You don't live out here. We got no power, no vote, we've got no say!

You lot, you live out there in that tower, and you tell us our fates, what we should do.

Fuck that!

I realize, but listen, life, society was never equal.

[Stuart] You...

You're a follower, you're an enabler.

You give them their power, and we are gonna take it back.

[Stuart panting]

It's time.

Stick to the route.

Think about your wife.

Fuck you.

You sure you should show your face?

They can't control us now.

[Susan] Call from external line.

Accept.

[man] The system's gonna reboot and you'll have your access restored.

We'll give you one shot to get us something

that makes it worth us getting you out of there.

Something that makes it worth our while.

- [Susan] System shutdown initiated. - Thank you.

Thank you.

[system boots]

Good morning, Mr. Harlow. How are you this morning?

Play phone feed from Guardian 5.

Playing now.

[Charlie] There's nowhere to run, Adam.

[groans]

Put down the knife. Put down the fucking knife.

Kill me...

and you lose your chance.

Your best chance of dying is if you leave my side.

Susan, trace Guardian 5's phone and track air activity in the quadrant.

[Susan] Scanning now.

Show me feed 1.

[announcer] In a huge victory for the government,

Mr. Nigel Stuart, who was kidnapped by Free Care, has now been rescued.

A small team of government operatives were able to recover Mr. Stuart

from a Free Care base this afternoon.

He will be taken for recovery,

ahead of a meeting with the Founders and Prime Minister Ryder.

[Susan] Air traffic scan complete. One aircraft in the vicinity.

A GES vehicle.

Get on your knees.

Charlie Whitelow?

- [Adam groans] - What the fuck!

He'll be fine. He'll be fine!

He'll be fine, with the right treatment, he'll be walking again.

Want to lower the gun? Help me get him in your car?

[man] Dead bodies.

It's the only way we're going to get to the commune.

[phone rings]

I've got him.

[man] Yeah, turn it on.

- [chip beeps, whirrs] - [screams]

[Grace, muffled] Where are we, Dad?

Dad?

Mr. Whitelow... [indistinct]

[announcer] Guardian Program operative, Mr. Charlie Whitelow,

apprehended Mr. Black, a founding member of Free Care and an independent scientist,

and was able to bring him into custody.

Mr. Whitelow's actions have been highly praised by all sections of society.

Mr. Ryder had this to say after today's events:

[Ryder] Charlie Whitelow arrives in Arcadia today as a new hero.

A man who has aided us in creating calm in our wonderful country.

Today we have succeeded in calming the storm,

but there will be further bad days.

This fight is not over.

These terrorists question our way of life.

They question the provision of health care we give to our outstanding citizens.

We strive every day to provide a global cure.

A cure that will change the lives of all the general populace.

The citizens of Arcadia have aching hearts

when they think of those less fortunate than them.

We will survive.

We are Arcadia.

[Grace] Dad, I can't believe it.

You're famous, you're everywhere!

Hi.

They let us watch it in class.

Everyone cheered when your picture came up on the screen.

Yeah.

- Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.

They said that you're in Arcadia. What's it like, Dad?

You in an apartment?

I think so, yeah.

- Where are you? - In the boarding house.

They sent a man down from the academy.

He said that I have to pack up my things.

That's brilliant, Grace.

- Just do what they tell you, Grace, OK? - Yes, Dad.

- [Grace] I love you. - I love you, too. Speak later.

[Susan] Call from external line.

Accept. Hello?

[man] What have you got?

Uh...

Nothing. I, uh, I can...

You don't have long til you need to be out of there. Find something.

What do you mean, be out of here? Hello?

[Susan] Call ended.

[announcer] Adrian Ryder will welcome Mr. Charlie Whitelow and Mr. Nigel Stuart

to a private meeting this evening with the Founders.

Both men are heroes of recent days, and the newest citizens of Arcadia.

They've dined with the...

[static]

[man] Let's do this, Charlie. We are all absolutely delighted for you.

- It's a really great pleasure to meet you. - You too.

It's a real pleasure to have a proper hero here on the show.

Between you and me, most of these lottery winners,

they come in, do one interview, and then we never hear from them again.

What's the point?

You'll be live on the program in two minutes. Your screen should come on now.

Good luck.

The hospitals have confirmed that Mr. Black is in a critical condition.

Once again, Adam Black, the former terror leader and biological scientist,

is undergoing emergency surgery.

Upon arrival into Arcadia this afternoon,

doctors found that Mr. Black was suffering

from several critical and life-threatening illnesses.

- [announcer continues in background] - [indistinct shuffled voices]

Come on.

Come on.

Got it!

[Charlie, from recording] Who the fuck is Adam Black? There's so much here!

He's saying he hasn't had medication for three years.

He's clean, he's cured himself. We shouldn't have medicated him, seriously.

If you look at him, he looks like the healthiest guy I've seen in years.

Not a single issue.

[announcer] We are now lucky enough to be joined by Mr. Charlie Whitelow.

Mr. Whitelow, welcome to the show.

Your actions have saved a great number of people

from serious infections and mental distress.

What comment do you have for us today on the health of Adam Black?

Mr. Whitelow, can you hear me?

Sorry, um...

- Mr. Whitelow? - Could you... could you repeat the question?

Yes, I was just hoping for a comment on the health of Adam Black.

Um, uh... I'm sorry to...

t-to hear of... of his illness.

He seemed like a determined man.

Yes, a... misguided determination.

And how was it for you managing such a sick patient?

I, um...

I struggle to think that he could ever have been believed

without being open to a full interrogation and publication.

As far as his health is concerned, he... he seemed perfectly well.

[Charlie] I guess sometimes, there's-more than meets the eye.

[announcer] Yes, and... given their many failures today,

what message do you have for members of Free Care?

Careful...

Taking human lives can never be justified

in the battle for equality.

We can all have hope, hope is what gets us through.

From what I've seen, the government is doing all they can to find a cure,

and I think that if we... if we all work together, and make sure th...

I'm sorry to have to interrupt you there, Mr. Whitelow,

but we're just receiving some breaking news.

Officials from Central Hospital have confirmed that

Mr. Black is receiving life-saving surgery

and remains in a critical condition

Mr. Black was in intensive care,

when a routine procedure led to the sudden and rapid deterioration in his condition.

Doctors are, however, confident of saving Mr. Black,

- despite his self-inflicted illness... - [shuts TV off]

You hear all that?

I'm sure he'll be fine.

He really believes it, you know.

He thinks that illness is just a state of mind.

Disease.

He believes that you could just cure yourself and live.

We all wanted to believe that.

[Susan] Call from unknown number.

- Hello? - Have you got anything?

I am working on it.

You've asked for some undefined piece of information

and want me to deliver it by some ludicrous deadline, just give me some time!

Call ended.

Call G5.

[phone ringing]

- Hello? - Charlie, it's Jacob Harlow.

- Why are you calling me? - I just need a moment of your time.

- Adam Black has been killed by the governement. - You can't know that for sure.

They said he had a dormant...

You said it yourself, Charlie.

You called him the most healthy man you had ever met.

On no medication.

Well, maybe he's just had a bad reaction to treatment.

Charlie, they're trying to tell everyone that he isn't clean,

that he's close to death. They're not saying...

I've got to go, I'm meeting Ryder.

Ask him why Black has to die.

- I can't do that. - Come on, Charlie, what harm can it do?

Ask him why Black is dying.

[man's voice] Mr. Whitelow.

[Charlie] Fine.

Give me eyes in the room.

Whatever you do, just make sure your camera is visible, understood?

[man's voice] This way, Mr. Whitelow.

Fine.

Activate G5 video.

- Feed activated. - [Jerry] What've you got?

Can you still get access to the TV feeds?

Yeah, why?

When I tell you, take the feed from me and broadcast it.

No editing, no delay.

All right.

Do you know if he's in position?

Yeah, he's gonna be with Ryder soon.

Charlie.

Welcome.

I'm sorry I can't for long. I'd love to have you here for dinner,

but I have another appointment, someone I think you'd probably like to thank.

- Sorry? - Nigel Stuart.

He created the GEP, he gave you your ticket to Arcadia.

Right.

Were you in much pain after the operation?

I don't remember anything of it.

It's just a small implant in the upper arm.

When I had my cure, it was a full-body scan and all sorts of checks.

Not now.

No, it was OK. Painless.

Should we sit?

It's a real pleasure to meet you.

The Founders are really impressed with your work,

I'm amazed with what you've done.

Now the chef here really is one of the best.

When I find some more time,

I'd like to have you and your daughter up here for a full meal.

You can get used to this, now that you're living in paradise.

Usually, at these sessions, I allow new entrants to ask me anything they like.

What kind of questions do they ask?

Mostly whether or not they'll be able to live like this every day.

Many people struggle with the idea

that they'll suddenly have much longer lives.

- [Charlie] I can imagine. - [Ryder] They go from having a very finite lifespan...

Susan? Can we establish a screen-share connection to G5's phone's video feed?

Establishing now, sir.

[Ryder] ...many people struggle with that transition,

yet to be prepared to live in a world...

Susan, connect to 874 283 176.

Connection established.

[Jerry] It's going live now. This better be good.

[Ryder] So, what about you? Do you have any questions?

There must be something on your mind.

[Ryder] Don't tell me that a 39-year-old man, rescued from the brink,

arrives here, is cured, and still doesn't have any questions.

Why is it that Adam Black became suddenly so ill?

Black was misguided, Charlie.

Despite appearances, he is very ill.

Anyway, this has been lovely.

I... I hope you enjoy your time here, but as I said, I...

I have an appointment.

In the time that I was with Adam Black, he didn't show any signs of ill health.

He hadn't taken medication for three years, and he was totally healthy.

Why was it as soon as he was with your doctors...

[Ryder] That is a lie. Black is a liar.

He's extremely ill and we are doing what we can to save him.

[Ryder] There is no natural cause.

- Thank you. - [Charlie] How do you know?

You say you're looking for a better cure,

but what you do have is held back for those that are lucky, the few.

All I'm asking is how somebody who embodies the hope of a natural cure

became so ill when in your care.

Who?

I provide you with paradise, and you dare talk to me

about someone living in squalid conditions demonstrating hope?

We are the hope, Charlie!

We are the future. We give humanity a chance.

You hand out cures as prizes, but you can't keep a man healthy,

whose research could be vital. Why can't he be cured, too?

Because...

there is no cure, Charlie.

The pills people take every day, your medication,

that is what's killing everyone.

It's a meticulously planned process that brings your life to an end between 38 and 40.

[screams]

You haven't been cured, Charlie.

[Charlie] What did they do to me?

You have a high intensity degenerator in you.

We give you two days, and then you're gone.

[Charlie] Why two days?

Enough time to appear on TV, smile at the cameras.

Make people believe the dream can come true.

[Charlie] There are no diseases?

Oh, yes, there's a disease, Charlie. It's humanity!

How long til he's with them?

He's in the elevator.

Can't we stop it?

He's in control, that's how you wanted it.

Yeah, well, the more of this, the better.

- [Ryder] Population this size is unsustainable... - This is suicide.

We can't just keep growing.

You're insane.

How many people know about this?

Very few people who are still alive.

You'd be amazed how compliant people are when they are rewarded for their silence.

A few claims about the Founders and their will, and fuck, people will do anything.

Let me explain it to you in simple terms.

Imagine you have a herd of deer in a forest.

and those deers keep fucking and fucking

until there are so many deers that they eat up all the food.

Now, not all the food grows back, and the deer grow hungry.

So what do you do?

Do you allow the deer to just keep growing, growing in number?

No! You limit the population.

You kill off a few, the weak ones, the ones with very little to offer,

like you and your friends.

He's two minutes away.

[Ryder] This is crucial for the survival of the species...

I can try and cut the building's power down.

- [Charlie] This is genocide. - [Ryder] It's politics.

[Jerry] What do I do?

Let it happen.

You're calling the deaths of millions of people, the death of my wife,

you are calling that politics!

Stop pretending you're not complicit.

Idly sitting by, while we do what we want. That's a moral crime.

We have been poisoned!

There's a voice command system in this room, much like the one you dealt with earlier.

- System shutdown initiated. - No, no, no...

[Ryder] At my command, I can activate your implant,

and you'll be dead before you can say anything.

Why not do it, then?

[Ryder laughs]

Oh, Charlie. I'm enjoying this far too much.

You know, I don't usually handle every new entrant's death, but you're special.

You've tried so hard. I almost wish I could cure you.

You know, I think Nigel should see this.

That'd be poetic, don't you think?

He gave you this opportunity.

Let him see you, now that you know everything.

[alert buzzing]

The, uh...

The accusations that, uh... you, uh... have just heard are...

[mutes broadcast]

[Jerry] This doesn't have to happen.

We got everything we need, it's over.

I can try and call someone in the building or...

He dies.

He dies now.

- [system voice] Mr. Nigel Stuart is here. - Open the door for him.

[Ryder] Nigel.

No one was more pleased than me to hear you were back safely.

Thank you.

Drink?

No.

You're clearly still in shock.

This is Charlie Whitelow, Nigel. He was one of yours.

- [Ryder] A guardian through and through. - You're an animal.

A fucking tyrant.

What's going on?

I've just been telling our guardian a few of our secrets.

Don't worry, he won't be with us long.

I won't take no for an answer.

I'm sorry.

For what?

[explosion]

[siren wailing]

[birds chirping]
