*DOCTOR WHO (2005)*
Episode Title: "Kerblam!"

Synchronized by srjanapala

- Hold on.
- We are holding on!

Well, hold on
tighter.

Can you do something
about this turbulence?

I'm avoiding something.
Aah,

can't get the hang of
these new systems.

- What is it?
- No,

it's still coming for us.

Oh!
It's a teleport pulse.

Aah!
What's that?

Delivery for the Doctor.

Ah,
it's the Kerblam man!

It's the what?
The Kerblam man!

You're just making sounds now.

Delivery fulfilled.

And remember:
if you want it, Kerblam it!

Space postman.
I've seen it all now.

Delivery bots.

Kerblam's the biggest retailer
in this galaxy.

I don't remember ordering anything.

Must've been a while back.

Oh!

What do you think?

Still me?

Nice! Check it out,
they even use bubble-wrap!

Doctor, look at this,
the back of the packing slip.

"Help me."

Probably someone just bored out
their mind, mucking about.

Trust me,
I've been there.

You should have seen
what we used

- to hide inside the trainers.
- What if it's not?

What if
someone really is in trouble?

Right,
Kerblam, here we come.

There's the planet Kandoka,
and we're on its moon.

Kerblam turned it into one
massive warehouse.

Look at the size of it.

There must be
thousands of people in there.

How are we going to find out who
sent that message?

Halfway across the universe,
and I feel like I'm back at work.

Ryan.
Brilliant!

Come on.

- What?
- We're going under cover.

Chop chop.

Good morning, workers.

Welcome to
another rewarding...

Can you check again?
We just came in from Kandoka.

We must be on the list there
somewhere.

Not expecting anyone
new today.

Didn't even know
there was a shuttle coming in.

Do you mind if I take a look?
It might just be the spelling.

By the way,
this is our reference.

Oh, you're relatives
of the First Lady?

Oh, did she put that?
We asked her not to.

Didn't we, gang?
We don't like to talk about it.

Yeah, so awkward.
We're very private.

Well, there must be some...

Oh, no, here you are,
got you.

Private shuttle landing.

Sorry, person error.

Me, I mean!

Right, well, let's get you on this
induction, then.

Follow me, this way.

Welcome to another rewarding
ship at Kerblam,

fulfilling orders from...

- Hi.
- Morning.

- Sorry, what was your name?
- Judy Maddox. Head of People.

Morning, Les.
How are the family?

Good morning,
Daniel.

My name is not Les,

but I acknowledge your amusing
co-worker banter.

Every morning.

So much for machine learning.

Have a great day, Dan.

- Hiya.
- Good morning, new workers.

Is it me,
or are they pretty creepy?

It ain't you.

Oi, you two,
that's robophobic.

Some of my best friends are
robots.

You'll be right at
home here, then.

Kerblam,
fully automated, people powered.

The system allocates work details
based on fitness, stamina,

dexterity and mental assessment.

Same model as the Kerblam Man.

I love the Kerblam Man.

The TeamMates are the friendly
face of the system.

They're here to assist and
to supervise the organic workers.

- Organic?
- S-Sorry!

Listen to me, you get so used
to the jargon. Gone native.

Two hearts?

Courtesy of the First Lady.

Very good healthcare policy,
I don't like to talk about it.

So, Kerblam is completely
automated?

Oh, no,
90% as per Kandokan guidelines.

Proud to be a certified
10% People, Powered Company.

I know some people are against quotas,
but I am all for that one!

Mind you, I would say that,
Head of People.

Self-interest.

It's funny, I don't normally
talk this much.

Oh.

Don't worry.
It'll come back online in a moment.

Not paid your bills?

Build a warehouse on a moon,
it's never going to be perfect.

We get the occasional
power drain,

it's down to the
self-optimisation systems.

How's the morale
among the workers?

Uh, I like to think
very good.

It-It's my job to make sure that
everyone's happy.

Not that it's difficult, we're all
grateful to have a job, right?

We all know how hard they
are to come by.

No, I hope that people feel it's a
privilege to work at Kerblam!

Relax as I fix your
GroupLoop.

- Are we under house arrest?
- Oh, no.

The GroupLoops monitor productivity
and report back to the system.

I wore one of these
at my last job.

Oh, really,
where was that?

SportStack.

People's Republic
of South Yorkshire.

I Don't know it.

But it's nice to meet someone
with experience.

You'll feel right at home.

Yeah.

Right, time for the tour.

600 million products,
10,000 employees.

The biggest human workforce
in this galaxy.

Welcome to Kerblam!

Welcome to another
rewarding shift at Kerblam,

fulfilling orders
from the human colony of Kandoka.

10,000 workers,
one little message.

Might take a while, this.

The system instantly relays customer
orders to workers in Fulfilment.

They scan the product and send it
down to the Packing Stations.

Product incoming.

Once it's packed, the customer's
order goes on the conveyor.

Rule number one:
keep all loose clothing,

hair and body parts
away from the conveyors.

And never, ever climb
onto the conveyors.

Any person found
on the conveyor

faces immediate termination.

This is Final Checks,
where parcels are inspected,

sealed and go down the hatch
to Dispatch.

Through this hatch beats the heart
of the Kerblam operation,

hundreds of conveyors pumping
parcels

down to our fully-automated
lower level.

From Dispatch,
our postmen retrieve the parcels

and teleport direct to the
customers.

Any questions?

Can I do the packing slips?

Sorry, only purple GroupLoops
work the packing stations.

Leisure breaks
in the HomeZone.

Right, I'll leave you in the capable
hands of the TeamMates.

I'll be checking in on you,
make sure you're OK.

Got to keep an eye on the 10%.

As my dad used to say,
Go, Organics!

He was a bit odd, my dad.

Stand still, Graham.

- What are you doing?
- Switching jobs with you.

I need purple.

Whoever sent that
message

had access
to the packing stations.

- That's where I need to be.
- And where does that leave me?

Hello, co-workers.

We're so thrilled to have
you with us.

Yasmin Khan,
please come with me.

Ryan Sinclair and the Doctor,
great name,

with my colleague to the left.

Hello, team.

Meet at break time in the Home Zone?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Roger Wilco.

Ooh, did I ever tell you about
a bloke I met called Roger Wilco?

Hey, oy, hold on. What about me?
Where am I going?

Graham O'Brien.

A very warm welcome
to Premium Maintenance.

Not a word.

Product incoming.

You two are doing so well.

Especially for a first day.
Thanks, Kira.

I was hoping for something
a bit less really repetitive,

- but... I'm quite enjoying it.
- Product incoming.

You're a ninja at this, Ryan.

This was my life before you.

Mind you, you should have seen me
when I started.

First month, total nightmare.

Takes me a while
to learn things physically.

Get there in the end, but
just some stuff takes me a bit longer.

Luckily, I had mates
who covered for me in the beginning.

I was terrible too, my first week!

I am amazed the system
kept me on.

But now I just take a deep breath at
the beginning of every shift

and tell myself,
Kira Arlo, you can do this.

Sometimes I almost
believe myself, uh.

What I don't understand is,

why does Kerblam need people
as a workforce?

These are
automated and repetitive tasks.

Why not get the robots do it?

Do you not watch the news?

- We travel a lot.
- A lot.

Kandokan labour laws.

Ever since the People Power
protests movements,

companies have to make sure

a minimum 10% of the workforce
are actual people,

at all levels.

Like the slogan says,
"Real people need Real jobs."

Work gives us purpose.
Right?

Some work, maybe.

- Product incoming.
- Do you want a tip?

If I ever get bored,

I imagine customers opening
their parcels

back on Kandoka.

Their big smiles.

I only ever got a
present the once,

but... oh, I can never
forget how it felt.

Like, like a little box
of happiness.

Just one present?
Your whole life?

My birthday last year.

A little box of chocolates
from Judy, our Head of People.

Oh, it was so amazing.

What about your mum and dad?

Didn't they ever get you
a present?

Never knew them.

But I can still imagine
families opening these packages.

We make them happy
by doing what we do here.

You have a great approach to life,
Kira.

Thank you!

That's so lovely of you.

Nobody's ever said something
that nice to me!

Where are these packing slips
generated from?

I don't know.
They just... arrive here.

Our little instruction slips.

Kira, have you ever met anyone here
who's worried or needs help?

- Help with what?
- I don't know.

Somebody having a hard time,
or got themselves into trouble.

Word of advice.

The TeamMates can hear
everything.

If they choose.

Everything?

Constant random monitoring.

No such thing
as privacy here.

Are you from the Union?
Is that it?

Just trying to get a sense
of the place.

Well, best way to get along,
do as you're told,

try not
to bump into the robots.

If you can manage that,
you might end up on a poster.

That's you!

Film star looks.

I got extra credit for it.

Sent a poster to my little girl
for her bedroom wall.

- How old is she?
- Six.

Where is she?

She's upstairs,
she's Head Of Finance.

Nah, she's back home
on Kandoka.

She made me this -
it's lacquered with Arcadium.

Outlast anything, that will.

Including me.

- Actually, that's a bit depressing.
- Hello, co-workers.

Please confine social interaction
to leisure breaks.

How often do you see
your daughter?

Twice a year,
I splurge on an economy shuttle.

Rest of my wages,
I put away for her education.

I do this job so,
she doesn't end up like her dad.

Her dad's all right.

Well, I was a rubbish
husband to her mum.

But I'm making up for it.

It's tough being away from family.

Well, at least I'm working.
Unlike half the galaxy.

Suppose we've only got
ourselves to blame.

Whilst we were busy staring
at our phones,

technology went and
nicked our jobs.

Great conversation, guys,

but unnecessary talking
can lead to efficiency reductions.

Why not pick up
the pace a little?

- Sure thing, Basil.
- Thank you.

He was a pole dancer
till his hips gave out.

I like you, Yaz,
you laugh at my jokes.

Antique lamp.

Section 99955/7.

No. Not a good idea.

Not on your first day.
I'll take that.

You'll get lost in
the Triple Nines.

Dan, I am perfectly capable...

I know you are.

Just not sure the system is.

There's barely anything down
the Triple Nines any more.

Last person to search for an order
down there got the sack.

Never saw them again.

Not having that happen to you.
Not on your first day.

Kerblam performance status,
all systems currently...

Another power drain?

..functionality.

System online.

All right, it's just a glitch,
back to work.

Come on, Kira,
re-engage brain, if you can find it.

Sorry, Mr Slade.

Hey, don't talk to her like that.

It's OK.

- No, it's not.
- Who are you?

I'm the Doctor. I'm new.
And you are?

Jarva Slade,
Warehouse Executive. Your boss.

Well, you've certainly
got the clipboard for it.

Be nicer to Kira, please.

How would you like a warning
for insubordination?

I'd love one,
I could add it to my collection.

Doctor, don't.

Gentle people skills advice for you,
Mr Slade.

Respect goes both ways.

The best managers,
the really good ones,

value their staff

and know instinctively
if someone's in trouble,

or
Is asking for help.

Now,
how good a manager are you?

Know anyone
who needs help?

Get back to work.

All of you.

Be careful with Slade.

Last week, Zaff got a warning
for leaning on the conveyor

and the next day he was gone.

Gone?
Does that happen a lot?

A few have gone recently.

Zaff, Jax from the canteen,
Chinello from Maintenance.

And it's weird,
because

Looper called Chinello's mum

and she never arrived home.

Blimey.

You scared me there for a moment.

You should be in Dispatch,
shouldn't you? Not down here.

What are you doing, practising
your lurking?

Can you hear me?

Something wrong with your speech
circuits?

Hang on, I'll report it.

Get you back to Dispatch...

Dan?

Dan?

Dan?

Dan?

You down there?
Dan?

Aaagh!

Dan!

Are you there?

Um... I just found these.

They belong to Dan Cooper.

Do you know where he is?

OK, never mind!

Safety Rule 198,

do not drink any of the
cleaning fluids.

Yeah, I've got it now, guys,
thank you.

Your Maintenance Mentor
is Charlie.

Oh, all right, cockle?

Have a productive day, team.

Happy maintaining!

Graham. Nice to meet another real
person.

Charlie. I've...

..just done the gents',
so...

Oh, I'll just settle for a wave,
then.

Cor, those guys go on a bit,
don't they?

I mean, that briefing nearly lasted
half my life, and I'm 310!

I, er... I saw you arrive earlier.

Wasn't expecting anyone new down
here.

Well, it's your lucky day, then, eh,
Charlie?

So, tell me how all this really
works.

The moment there's a mess
or a spill, we get beeped.

There's strict time guidelines

on how quickly we're supposed to
get there

and how long it takes us
to clear things up,

all laid down by the system.

They check up on us
after every task.

So even though everything's
automated,

there's still an idiot boss?

Yeah.

Temporary functionality issues.

Team 9, please take an emergency
rest break in the home zone now.

So, just to be clear, you found
Dan's scanner crushed?

I heard him yell and now there's no
sign of him anywhere.

We have to find him.

These were delivery robots like
the Kerblam Man? Not the TeamMates?

You two stay with me.

I need you to find out
the history of the company

and try and get some plans
of the complex.

How am I going to do that?

You're perfectly placed.
No-one questions a cleaner.

You've got unrestricted access.
Yeah, and chronic skin irritation.

Graham, did you sort that spill?

It's all taken care of,
don't worry.

Hey, everyone,
this is Charlie.

Hi, Charlie.

- Oh! Oh, no.
- Oh, it's alright.

- Oh, what am I like?
- I've got it.

- It's OK.
- I'm so clumsy!

- I don't mind!
- Really?

- Really!
- I'm just such a butterfingers.

I love butter.

Aww.

Um...

- ..bye.
- Easy.

Workplace crush.

Reminds me of you
when you were younger.

When I say younger,
I mean last month.

- Ha, ha, ha, ha! Funny.
- Yeah. - Come on.

We're going to file a complaint.

One of your workers, Dan Cooper,
has gone missing.

- Maybe you should call the police.
- There are no police here.

The authorities, then.

We are the authorities.

Kerblam is its own jurisdiction.

We have responsibility
for all employee welfare.

Then you'd better be worthy
of the jobs you're holding

because a man is missing
and I don't think he's the first,

not if this is any indicator.
This came to me in a delivery.

What do you think it means?
It's not exactly cryptic.

Somebody was worried
about their own safety.

And now we find out other people
are going missing.

Who has access to the printing
system for those packing slips?

Nobody.

They're auto-generated
during the order process.

But they're placed in boxes
by the workers in fulfilment.

Your section.

Have you tried working down there?

There's no time to add
stuff to slips.

This was done somewhere else
before it gets to fulfilment.

Something is very wrong here
at Kerblam.

And if you two don't do
something about it,

I might start to suspect
that you're responsible.

We'll look into it.

You have my word.

Mine too.

Those words had better be worth
something.

And if anything happens to us,
or our new friends,

or anyone else here,
you'll have me to answer to.

Too bombastic?

- Felt about right.
- I kinda liked it.

- Thanks.
- Laters!

Oh, I'm not doing that again.
Sticking with "bye".

Catch me up with this.

We storm into management,
cause a fight.

What ever happened to being
under cover?

That was before I knew people
were disappearing.

I am stepping it up a gear,
going straight to the top.

I bet you were the sort of kid

who liked poking a stick in the
wasps' nest,

just to see what happened.

Don't like bullies,
don't like conspiracies,

don't like people being in danger.

And there's a flavour
of all three here.

Now.
Ever hidden in a panelled alcove?

- No.
- No.

You haven't lived.

Why are we doing this, exactly?

We wait until Slade leaves,

then we break back in to his office,
obviously!

Talking of wasps, did I ever tell
you about me and Agatha Christie?

So, how long have you had a thing
for Kira?

How do you know about that?

That's one of my superpowers, yeah.

I can detect even the most subtle of
social cues.

- Really?
- Nooo.

It's obvious!

I don't know. Um...
It's kind of...

..it's just...

..I can't...

..I can't concentrate
when I'm near her.

It's like I forget everything
I'm supposed to be doing.

- I mean, have you smelt her?
- Strangely enough, I haven't.

- She smells... perfect.
- Huh.

I haven't told anyone else.

Been on my own here
for a long time.

I can tell. Charlie,
can I be honest with you?

I suppose.

See, you know
your way around here,

but I
am going to need a little bit of help.

See, 'cause I get easily confused,

a bit like you when Kira's around.

And I cannot get my nut around
the shape of this place

because it's way too big, but...

..if I had, like,
um... some sort of...

- Diagram?
- ..a diagram of Kerblam's layout,

maybe I could find things a bit
easier, see?

'Cause without it, I ain't going to
last long in the job, am I?

'Cause It'd take me hours
to get to the next spill.

I reckon I can get that.

Our reception is currently
in night mode...

These cabinets contain the entire
history of Kerblam,

from the prototype Delivery Bot
right up to today.

Designs, layout, everything.

Right. Won't somebody miss 'em?

Ah, it's just for show.
Like you say, we're only borrowing.

Not like anyone pays attention
to this stuff.

And you've got the codes
for all of these, have you?

The insides of these cabinets need
polishing too, you know.

Yeah, of course they do.

Mind if I get a friend to help me
study these?

What?
Thank you, Cockle.. Come on.

Nothing to see here, mate.

I thought Slade would never leave.

What do we think, then?

If this is Slade's office,

and everything in this company is
automated,

why does he need a clipboard?

Or a filing cabinet?

Khan and Sinclair, the greatest
detectives in the galaxy.

Ha, hah!

Locked.

Oohh, paperwork.
Very retro.

What sort of paperwork
does Slade keep locked away?

What is it?

Oh, my God.

You'd better have a very good excuse
for breaking in here.

Your GroupLoops told me
you were back here.

I knew that, but I forgot that.

That's the problem with conspiracies,
there's so much to think about.

What if I said we got lost,
ended up in here by accident,

just as the filing cabinet
weirdly fell open.

How would that play?

There were no shuttles
from Kandoka today.

I checked.

Who are you?
Industrial spies?

I was being honest with you
earlier.

We got a message that someone needed
help, and we came.

People are vanishing.
Mr Slade is keeping a running tally.

Seven people so far.

According to these notes, it started
four months ago with two workers.

The next month, another.

This month, it's four.

The disappearances are on the
increase.

No wonder people are sending out
cries for help.

And as Head of People for Kerblam,

I'd suggest you're guilty of
some serious negligence.

Another power drain?

That's not a power drain,
that's a total system blackout.

Power's drained right down
to the Foundation levels.

What's down
in the Foundation levels?

I can help with that.

Charlie, what are you doing up here?

- Sorry, Judy. He's with me.
- And he's with us.

And they are the original plans
for Kerblam.

What are you doing with those?

Those are company artefacts.
Was this down to you?

More urgent question.

If everything's automated

and all the power's shut down,
why is that robot still active?

Oh! Good question.
Back behind me, everyone.

Error reported.
Error reported.

- Hey, Charlie, don't...
- I can-I can look at it.

Error reported.
Error reported. Investigating.

Charlie!

- Investigating. Investigating.
- Doctor,

- do something. - invnvestigating
- I'm trying.

The receptor codes
are fluctuating!

Ooh! Ah!
Ohh! Ah!

- Oh, ho!
- O00h! - Ho!

- Are you all right?
- Deep breaths, now, you're safe.

This has never happened before
with any of the robots.

You're wrong.

When Dan Cooper went missing,
theer were three of those,

dressed in those Postmen uniforms,
walking the shelving.

- They came after me.
- That's not possible.

The delivery bots never leave
Dispatch.

We'd know,
the system would tell us.

I would respectfully suggest
that you can't trust your system.

And we're back online.

But the receptor cells
on this are all blown out.

Hey, Doc, be careful.

Oh! It's as if the system suddenly
channelled all its energy

into this one single TeamMate.

The system's attacking us.
It's like the system's gone rogue.

Of course it's gone rogue.

Nobody would do any of this
deliberately.

If I ever find out
that you're lying...

I have worked for years

to make Kerblam more of a
People-Powered Company.

My career has been about
bringing people like Charlie here.

People who need a second chance.

Haven't I?

It's true.
She's the reason most of us are here.

She selects all the workers.

We owe her a lot.

I've never seen these papers
of Slade's before now.

Those names, Zaff, Jax, Chinello,
the others,

they're active on the system.

According to the system,
they're still alive and working.

There are 10,000 people here.
I can't keep track of them all.

So what do we do, Doctor?

If I could get a copy
of the original code,

I could hack in, isolate the
upgrades and see what it's up to.

So you need Kerblam version 1.0.

That'd be hundreds of years old,
wouldn't it?

I think we can help with that.

Kerblam Delivery Bot.

Version 1.0! Also known as Twirly.

I don't think we should do this.
If Mr Slade finds out...

Leave Slade to me.
Let's just hurry up before

the TeamMates
come on their patrol.

Ah!
Here we go, Twirly.

Nice to meet you.

- Quite cute, isn't it?
- Uhm.

- It's kind of retro.
- Well, he is getting on a bit.

I love a bit of retro.

Kira Arlo.

Hi. Yes.
Sorry, I didn't hear you there.

I was in my own little world.

You are an exceptional worker,
Kira Arlo.

Am I?

We're thrilled to reveal you've been
designated Employee Of The Day.

Oh, wow, I didn't even know
there was such a thing.

And in recognition of your work,
Kerblam has a gift for you.

A gift?

Come with us.

Customers who selected these items
also bought ear mufflers,

pencil sharpeners and cola bottles.

Say yes now to order these three
for the price of the cheapest two.

- No.
- Thank you! I've stored

your preferences.
And remember,

if you want it,
Kerblaaa...

Ah! It's out of juice.

It needs a big recharge
before I can access the code.

Maintenance store,
there's everything there.

That's not a good idea.

Doctor, I've just had a notification

that one of the workers
from Packing has gone missing.

Her GroupLoop's disappeared
right off the system.

Name of Kira Arlo.

What? Kira?
We have to find her.

I thought you said the system didn't
notify you

- when someone went missing.
- Well, it didn't until now.

It's like it's sending us
a deliberate message.

It knows we're onto it.

Where was her signal last recorded?

Um... Dispatch.

That's not possible.
No people are allowed down there.

Dispatch?
Foundation levels, right?

Where the power was draining down to.
How do we get to her?

You can't. It's fully automated.
There's not even a route down.

But... she must've got down
there somehow.

You get what you need from
that robot.

Yaz, Charlie, come with me.
We'll find Kira.

Hang on, how are you
going to get down there?

I know how these places work.

Get ready to stick it
to Rule Number One!

- You did this in your last job?
- Yeah. Once.

- How did it go?
- Really badly.

Sprained ankle
and a final warning.

Come on.
We have to find Kira.

I should let you know
I have a coordination problem.

Not super serious, but you know,
makes life really interesting.

And frustrating. And difficult.
Especially at moments like this.

You don't have to come.
I can find Kira on my own.

Mate, that's not how we roll.

Is it, Yaz?

Nope.

We're all in.

Dispatch, here we come!

Here you are, Kira.

Thanks!

Sorry, what's this?

Make yourself at home.

Aaaagh!

You sure about this?
We'll be safe, won't we?

Definitely.
I mean, the parcels are safe.

We're just parcels now.

Agh!

But the parcels get wrapped
in bubble wrap to protect them.

From what?

- Oh, my days! From that!
- Oh!

Never liked roller coasters!

- We're going to die!
- We're going too fast!

We did it!
That was amazing!

We're amazing.
Charlie, you're the man!

- Charlie!
- Charlie, we're coming!

I can't jump down there!

Course you can.

We both can.

Right?

On one... two... three!

- Aaaagh!
- Aaaagh!

We did it! We're not dead!
We're totally not dead!

Right, Twirly, all charged up.

You may also like to know we have
a one-hour offer on cushions!

Cushions liven up the grimmest
workplace, like this one.

Twirly, hi!

I'm the Doctor, this is Graham.

This is Judy, and could you pause
all sales protocols for a bit?

- Even the upselling?
- Even the upselling.

You've just had a nap
of about 200 years,

so your offers are out of date
anyway.

Without upselling,
my only purpose is delivery.

We don't need you do that either,
mate.

The future is very confusing
for my protocols.

I serve Kerblam.

And Kerblam serves the people.

Which is why
we need your help.

These are my Kerblam credentials,
my own executive read-code.

We need you to carry out a task

which may fundamentally save
Kerblam.

I am only a delivery bot.

See, now you've made it nervous.
Don't panic, Twirly.

You can do this.

It's possible that Kerblam
has been compromised.

I'm going to patch you into
the system.

I need you to look far and wide,

past new upgrades and firewalls

and security patches, into the base
code that only you can recognise.

And then you can tell us what's
going on

and deliver the information to us.

Retrieve and deliver.
I understand.

This might tickle.

- Help me, help me, help me!
- What happened?

Help me. Help me.

Why are you saying that?

Not Twirly speaking.

The system. Kerblam.
"Help me, Doctor".

"Help me".

"Help me, Doctor".

- The system sent the message!
- "Help me".

It printed the slip,

it sent it out.

But why would
the system need help?

Twirly, what do you mean?
What sort of help, how can we help?

Help required in Dispatch.

Help in dispatch.
Urgent help.

Doc, they've all just gone down
there.

Disinfectant post. Get down!

Organic contamination detected,
initiate disinfection.

- Disinfection process unsuccessful.
- Ugh! It tastes like...

Organic contamination persists.

Hygiene Defence is activating.

- Initiate disintegration.
- Run!

I'm never doing that again.

So we're at the Foundation Level?

Yeah.

Hello?

Hello?

That's Kira's voice.

How did she get down here?

I think it came from this way.

I'm stupid, really stupid.
Can you believe how stupid I am?

- Is that a rhetorical question?
- I can't believe

I didn't think of it sooner. There are too
many things going on, too many variables,

- my brain's too crowded.
- What's she talking about?

No idea. You get used to it.

She normally
explains in the end.

These delivery bots.

- They've got teleport circuits.
- See?

We don't have to go on the conveyor
down to Dispatch.

If I can hijack their circuit
for one moment...

- Move away from the delivery bot.
- No, Slade, don't.

Very bad manners to
point guns at people.

I've never warmed to you.

So, tell us what you've done.

We saw the list, the names of
the victims you've targeted.

What?

I'm not targeting people.
I'm recording the missing!

Ow. So it's not you?

No! Something's wrong with
the system, but I don't know what.

That's why I had to make sure
my notes were analogue.

I though it was you. I've been
tracking you since you arrived.

- We're trying to help.
- So I am I.

But what am I supposed to do?

There's no-one to report this to.
No-one to stop it.

- There's only the system.
- There's me.

I'm responsible for every
person here.

You could have told me.

I didn't know whether I could trust
you. I still don't.

Hey, Doc, come and have a look
at this.

Some kind of goo and GroupLoops.
Why are they in there?

I think these are the remnants
of the missing workers.

We're under a vast liquidisation
tank.

What?

You mean the robots are kidnapping
the workers

- and then liquidising them?
- What I don't understand is why...

Anyone got a tissue? - Whoa!

Looks like an army.

Hello?

Kira!

Kira! She can't hear us.

Let me find the entrance.
We've got to get her out.

Why's she in there?

There's no access from here!
We can't get her out.

Complaints have been coming in
about delayed deliveries.

This must be why.
Everything's stuck here.

Nothing's going out.
What's happened?

They're being held back.

Oh, the power drains.

Vast teleportation hardware,

with huge reserves of power
building up.

What if the power's been
drained to be stored

for one huge
simultaneous teleport?

All these deliveries, all at once.

To do what?

You said it looked like an army.

- What do armies carry?
- Weapons?

But that's not a weapon,
it's a toy.

And every parcel's got
something different in it.

Almost.

Except what does every parcel
here have in common?

Kira, don't!

Oh, my God.

Is that what happened to Dan?
And all the others too?

You knew
something was going to happen.

Charlie.

It's done this deliberately.

We need to find the Doctor.

Deadly bubble wrap.

Totally innocuous,

apart from when it's intercepted
here and weaponised.

Sheets of tiny little bombs,
ready to explode and kill.

Every parcel a deathtrap.

The workers aren't the target.

It's the customers.

Kerblam's trying to kill
their own customers?

That's the worst business plan
I've ever heard.

Doctor,
we found you! Kira's dead.

And Charlie had something to do
with it. What?!

Not Kira.

It wasn't meant for her.

The system took her.

It's been fighting back against me.

Because it knew what you were
planning.

The maintenance man,
access to everywhere,

noticed by hardly anyone.

You've been killing other workers?

I needed test subjects to be sure
the detonation forces would work

in such a small concentration.

What? Charlie,
how do you know all this stuff?

I lied on my application.

Gave you a sob story,
so you'd let me in.

And you bought it.

I've studied cybernetics,
explosives, teleportation.

I worked for this.

I don't understand.

10%?

They want us to be grateful
that 10% of people get to work?

What about the other 90%?
What about our futures?

Without action, next time
it'll be 7%, then 5%,

then 1%.

I am stronger than you.

I'm not going to stand by
and accept it.

People like me, my generation,
we change things.

- We make things happen.
- Even if it costs people's lives.

You kill a load of customers
at Kerblam,

let the system
take the fall for it.

Erode people's trust
in automation.

Make people angry.

Imperfect technology,
without a conscience.

Machines malfunction,
that's what they do.

No, mate, that's what you're doing,
seriously malfunctioning.

I'm not your mate!

Except Kerblam's
system does have a conscience.

And it's been fighting you, Charlie.
It knew it.

It sent a message across the galaxy,
begging for help.

And that TeamMate in Slade's office,
it was coming for you.

And then Kira.

It took her,
knowing how you felt about her.

To show you
how it would feel.

Because how you feel right now
about Kira

is how all those families and friends
will feel if your plan goes off.

- I don't care.
- I think you do.

I think you came here
with a plan,

but you didn't expect
to fall in love.

But that's what happens.

Use it, Charlie,
learn from it, please.

No.

No.
If that's the price

to change how everyone on Kandoka
sees technology, then it's worth it.

For the cause.
T-his isn't a cause.

You're not an activist.
This is cold-blooded murder.

We can't let the systems
take control.

The systems
aren't the problem.

How people use and exploit
the system: that's the problem.

People like you.

I don't care what you think.
The delivery goes ahead.

Mass delivery procedures

- initiating.
- Someone grab that controller!

Agh!

What have you done?
You can't stop it now.

Make it stop!

We're not going to let you
kill all those innocent people

Destination coordinates locked.

Preparing teleport.

Doc, I hope you've got an idea
of how to fix that.

Not enough time to fix it.

Wait.
New idea.

Not enough time for that either.

- Maybe worth a go.
- Maybe?

I mean definitely.
Grab the postman's head.

- What?!
- Just like Judy did in the office,

do it! Now!

I need to stop this!

Does she know
what she's doing?

- Some of the time, definitely.
- Oi! Get back here!

- Stop him.
- Charlie!

She can't stop it now.

Those deliveries are going to be
teleported out.

I'm sorry.

- Twirly, I need your help.
- Safe mode off. Hello again.

Customers with your current medical
symptoms

- browsed blood pressure medication.
- This is important.

I've linked you into the new system,
to all the delivery bots,

and I have a request.

How may we help?

Change of delivery address.

For every order about to teleport.

New address: right here, this
hangar, right where we're standing.

I want every Kerblam man
to deliver to themselves.

Delivery orders accepted.

I want every Kerblam man to open
the order

they've just delivered
to themselves,

making sure they do what everybody
does with the bubble wrap.

- Orders confirmed.
- Charlie!

Get back up here, please.

Delivery in process.

- What's going on?
- Delivery received.

Doctor, they're about to detonate!

Charlie, last chance.
Get out of there now.

Outgoing delivery.
Activating bubble wrap.

Doc, get us out of here.

And remember:
If you want it, Kerblam it.

If you want it,
Kerblam it.

Kerblam is experiencing
a momentary technical difficulty.

Our expert engineers are already
working to get the systems up

and running again as quickly
and safely as possible.

In the meantime, why not consider
a personal mindful moment?

We're suspending all operations
for a month, pending review

and while the TeamMates are
rebuilding Dispatch.

All our workers have been given
two weeks' paid leave,

free return shuttle transport.

And I'm going to propose

that Kerblam becomes a People-Led
Company in future.

Majority organics.
People, I mean.

We're always looking for good
workers to join our management team.

Er... thanks.

We're strictly freelance.

Doctor, can I make a request?

Always.

If Dan hadn't switched scanners,

it would have been me
in that test room.

He saved my life.

I want to take this
to his daughter.

Tell her how much he loved it.

How much he loved her.

It's the least we can do.

Put it down.
It's Kerblam bubble wrap.

Hey-Hey-Hey!
You sure you want to pop that?
