All language subtitles for The Listeners S01E02 1080p AAC2.0 H.264-NLsubs_track3_[eng]

This programme contains some
scenes which some viewers may
find upsetting and strong language

So this is a place where we listen,

share our experiences and
try and gain a deeper understanding

of what this is together.

And can I...?

How... How long have you
been running this group?

Around five years now.

What do you...? What do you mean?

CLAIRE SCOFFS

You're telling me that
you've all been hearing

this sound for five years?

LAUGHTER

- No. - No? - No! - No, no.

Good. OK.

I'm glad to hear that.

Seema, how long have
you been listening?

About three months.

This is my third meeting.

Tom and Emily?

Same. About three months.

This is just the second
time we've been here.

So we're newbies, too, aren't we?

Yeah.

And, Damien?

I've been... I've been hearing
it for just over a year

and coming here for a few months.

And, Teresa?

Listening and coming
here for over three years.

And, Jo?

Five years.

And I've been listening
for decades now.

All right.

CLAIRE SCOFFS

During that time,
people come and go.

We try to...

When they leave, is it because
they stopped hearing it?

No, they move or...

You know, what we did here
just didn't quite work for them.

Well, what are you doing about it?

Just, erm, living with it?

Accepting it?

No! No, no. No, I agree with you.

This is madness. I want it gone.

Yeah. Me too.

It's a point of discussion

but, yes, I live with the hum,

and I accept it very much.

But that's insane.

No, I'm sorry.

OMAR CHUCKLES

- It is, right? - It's an entirely...

- It's OK. - ..natural
reaction, Claire. Yeah.

I think we all felt the
same at the beginning.

And now you all feel like it's...

..something you value?

- SEEMA: - No. No, no, no.
I mean, not... Not all.

Omar's a bit more advanced
than the rest of us, I think.

I think for me, you know,
in my experience,

fighting the hum wasn't
good for my mental health.

I was... I was in a bad place
before I found this group.

Is that something
that you can relate to, Kyle?

Uh, yeah.

Well, w-what is it?

Do you know?

- Again, that's something we
discuss in these meetings. - Mm-hm.

I don't want to bombard
you and start...

No, please, bombard me.

I want to... I want to be bombarded.

I... I can't sleep. I'm....

I'm having nightmares
and nosebleeds, and...

And everybody says that it's the
menopause or it's anxiety or stress.

Yeah, and we all have
quite differing ideas

of what's behind all of this but...

..you know, the most
important thing is to...

To take things slowly.

And for you and Kyle -

and all of us, really - to remember
that the function of this group is,

is about support and finding
a way to, at first,

cope with the sound,

and then live with it,

and then maybe even find

what the hum might do for you.

And there are a few things
that we do insist upon, though.

We... We eat together and we
clean up and we wash up together,

and we breathe together,

and we all listen together.

I know it sounds...

It's a bit of a strange ask,

but Omar and I have actually...

THEY LAUGH

Yeah.

You know, the breathing...

You know, breathing
together is actually,

it's one of the things
that can really help

if the sound is becoming
a little bit overwhelming.

And exhale...

Two, three, four.

EXHALING

And inhale...

INHALING

Two, three, four.

And exhale...

EXHALING

And inhale...

Two, three, four.

And exhale...

- Bye. - Nice to meet you.
- Thank you. - Bye.

- Thank you so much. - OK. OK.

- Well, that was, uh...
- Yeah. - The hum.

Seema seemed OK, though.

Though she clearly thinks
the rest of them lost the plot.

- Oh, my God. That couple... - I know.

I wanted to be, like,
"Blink twice if you need rescuing."

SHE CHUCKLES

I don't know.

I'm not sure that lentil soup
and yoga breathing

is going to get me through this.

Is it mad to think that
it might actually help, though?

DISTANT GOODBYES

No.

How are you getting home?

Thanks, everyone.
Bye-bye, now. Bye-bye.

Claire...

..think you'll go again?

Maybe, yeah.

Good.

Yeah.

INTERNALLY: Other people...
OK, look. Erm, other people...

OK. Other people... Look...
OK, look. There are other people...

Other people can hear the thing
that I'm hearing in our area.

And I went to a meeting.

MUSIC PLAYING

What?

Yeah.

Well, how'd you find them?

It's, like, an online thing.

Like a... You know, one of
the local Facebook page things.

Yeah, it was bizarre.

But, yeah, there are
seven other people,

and they all hear it, and they've
all had physical reactions, so...

Yeah.

What, so, it's a kind
of support group?

Yeah. Yeah.

So you just lied to us?

No, I didn't lie to you, I just...

Look, I was just...

I just wanted to see what it
was for myself. Is that OK?

Well, so, are you going to go again?

I mean, does it seem
like it's going to help?

I don't know, maybe.

I mean, it was not not-weird.

I don't think the guy who
spent years in the Marines

is going to be my new best friend.

But, look, it was nice to be
in a room with other people

who were having
the same experience as me.

How do you know you're, like,
hearing the same thing?

Do they know what it is?

Maybe, maybe.

What, they did and
they didn't tell you?

- No, there was just a lot
to talk about. - Well, like, what?

Like... Why do I feel like
I'm being interrogated?

Well, I'm just trying
to figure it out.

Yeah, well, you weren't there.

I would love to be there.

- OK. - I... I'm... I'm not...

I-I-I'm serious.
Are you going to go back?

I don't know. Maybe...

I mean, probably!

Great. So, we'll come with you.

Yeah, no, I'm... I'm good.

No. We can do this
as a family, right?

Sometimes, when I lie in bed,
I try to picture it.

Like, what it might be.

Sometimes it comes from this...

..sort of...

..dark, sinister house
at the edge of town.

FAINT BIRDSONG

But when I find it...

LOW HUM

..it's like this...

..small little thing
that you never expect.

And I...

I smash it.

Mm.

Has it struck you this
might be an outlet of sorts?

A manifestation?

You mentioned your anxiety
about Ashley moving away.

That's a big change.

Yeah, sure,
but the sound feels real.

Psychosomatic phenomenon are real.

It's just the sources in our brains.

Now, I understand that, but...

..if the sound is just in my
brain, then it isn't real.

Yes, it is.

The brain is
extremely powerful, Claire.

No, but other people hear it.

OK, let's talk about that.

Can you tell me a little bit
more about this group?

What kind of support
are they offering you?

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

- Bye, Miss. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

SOFTLY: I have a favour to ask you.

Oh, yeah?

Why are you reading that?

Why am I reading a book?

No, just... It's Bataille.

It's a... It is a strong choice.

I mean, I was really
into Bataille at uni.

It worked for my, erm,

"I'm a very serious
and cultured person" vibe.

THEY CHUCKLE

There's expression...

Ecstatic and intolerable.

That's what Bataille called it.

Yeah, I remember.

Transcendence only possible

in the shattering of
the body's physical limits.

- BOTH: - To be pushed to
the brink of one's being.

Mm.

So...

..this favour, it's a little tricky,

but it's about the next meeting.

Paul and Ashley want to come.

- So... - OK. That's...weird.

Yeah, I know.
I tried to dissuade them,

- but he won't...
- I thought you weren't even sure

- that you were going to come back.
- Yeah, but it'll just be this once.

And how do you know they
won't want to keep coming?

Because I'm not going
to let that happen.

But you're letting this happen.

Kyle, I'm really sorry, but...

How are you going
to make it up to me?

SCOFFS: Kyle...

FAINT CHATTER

Anyway, I just want
to say "thank you" again

for letting me bring them today.

Of course, they're most welcome.

But, you know, they're just trying
to get things back to normal.

That's all.

FAINT CHATTER

I must say, I find it beautiful.

You coming here,
supporting Claire like this.

Thanks. It felt important.

FAINT LAUGHTER

This is a one-off, though, Paul.

This space is for people
who hear what we hear.

If could ask you to
be a guest, to listen.

Allow others this time to share.

FAINT LAUGHTER

My God!

MUFFLED APPLAUSE

CLAIRE: Wow!

WHOOPING, CHEERING

That's good!

No, that was...
That was very shaky.

- I'm not even warmed up.
- Jo, that's incredible!

How could you do that, Omar?

Oh, she taught me, actually.

Yes. Yes.

SHE CHUCKLES

Three billion lightning strikes
a year, all over the world.

That's around
44 every single second.

Building up a huge electromagnetic
charge in the atmosphere...

..which resonates
and creates actual sound.

This generates a very, very low hum,

at a frequency of 7.83Hz.

SEEMA: Sorry, just to...
Just to clarify.

So you're saying that lightning
causes the atmosphere to hum?

It's called the Schumann resonance.

We've known about it
since the early '50s.

- Schumann resonance? - Yes.

And it's, like, humming
all the time, or...?

Exactly.

AIR WHOOSHING

The space inside of this bottle

has a specific resonant frequency

which we all can hear.

- Yes? - Yes. - Yes.

Lightning, in the Earth's case,

is like the breath over the bottle.

Constant global electromagnetic
resonances in the ionosphere...

I'm sorry. This is a sound...

You suggest we're hearing
a hum from the sky?

Do you know that every single animal
on this planet that migrates

uses the Schumann resonance?

Whales...

- BOTH: - Butterflies. Insects, birds.

And it affects us, too.

The vast majority of people

cannot hear sounds

below the frequency of 20Hz...

..but we believe that there are a
select few of us who actually can.

And how do you know about this?

He was the director of
the School of Geosciences

at the University
of Rosyth for 18 years.

Look, no offence, mate,
but we've lived

in this neighbourhood
for going on 20 years now

and we've never heard
anything like this.

This noise is something new.

It's obviously some kind
of industrial noise pollution.

I used to think that at first,
too, Tom, but it just isn't.

For those of us
who've experienced this...

No, no. I'm sorry. It just
literally has no scientific merit.

- We need to reach out to the
council about this. - Yeah. Yeah.

We need to start applying
some pressure.

- DAMIEN: - The council?
They're not going to be interested.

This is bigger. Much bigger.

"Bigger"?
What do you mean, "Bigger"?

Just look online. The...

HE SCOFFS

The hum's affecting people all over,

but there's only a few
of us that are clued in.

- Damien. - Right? No, no.
Havana syndrome.

Right? Those diplomats,
that hotel in Cuba.

- OK. - No, they need to hear this, Jo.

I worked in military
intelligence for nine years. OK?

This... This suppression,
the government, this...

This could even be deep
state for all we know.

"Deep state"?

Can someone tell me
what he's doing here?

Cos he can't even hear
the hum, can he?

This is rubbish.

Government-controlled,
weaponised lightning, is it?

No, I didn't say that.

- If it is natural... - It's not!

..then why wouldn't we have
heard it all our lives?

Why is it that, suddenly,
we can all hear this now?

This is a very good question.

And this is what we
should be discussing here.

Or it's just something
really simple.

Like a few months ago,

they put up new wind turbines
along Hackett Bridge.

And how do you explain
my experience, then?

What triggered it for me?

Or for Jo or Omar, or for any of us?

- Yeah. - See, I don't know.

But I'm sure that there is
a perfectly logical reason.

Let's just...
Let's just take five, OK?

I'll put on the kettle.

I know everyone's coming at
this from different places.

We work quite hard to make sure
everyone feels heard, and...

But I think it just comes
across like, you know,

- we're right, and... - No.

..we're just waiting for
everyone to agree with us.

But, you know, the problem with
being a bit further ahead is that,

of course, we've explored
so many of the ideas

that are new to others.

The things that that
Tom and Seema are suggesting

are just provably not true. So...

But, you know, everyone's
on their own journey.

SHE CHUCKLES LIGHTLY

Do you know... Do you know
why Kyle didn't come today?

I'm sorry, what?

Kyle.

- The boy from the last meeting,
I... - Yeah, yeah.

You came together.
You knew each other.

Kyle Francis?

Uh, well, I just...

I just wanted to make sure
we didn't scare him away.

Talking to him on the
phone at midnight.

Going to random
people's homes together.

SOFTLY: Ash, look, we're just trying
to get to the bottom of this.

Yeah, yeah. This, Mum?

This is the bottom.
You've hit it, OK?

All right, all right. Fair.

That's fair.

Look, Ash, this is extremely
sensitive, and I...

I need to be able to
trust you with this.

I'm obviously not going
to say anything, but...

- SOFTLY: - Come on.

Everything all right?

I'll handle it, I promise. OK?

Hey, what's going on?

I don't want to talk about it.
I just want to go.

Yeah, it's... She's...

- You take her. I'll get a car. - Fine.

- Uh, I'll... I'll...
- No, everything's fine.

I'll... I'll talk to
you when you get home.

- Yeah. - Ashley?

FAINT BIRDSONG

CLAIRE SIGHS

LOW HUM
CLAIRE EXHALES

- JO: - It can be hard for the families.

I'm impressed they came.

How are you and your husband doing?

He's fine. We're OK.

So you and Omar, you met
doing the - the humming?

The hum group.

He was my thesis supervisor.

Oh, right.

- And you were... - Mm-hm.

We were, yeah.

He was quite the radical thinker.

Oh?

THEY CHUCKLE

And the administration
just made his life hell.

And watching him go through that,

I just thought, you know,

the academia is not for me.

- Huh. - That's when I started
my bodywork practice.

Right, right.

I just have to ask. You...

You and Kyle do know each other.

I picked up on that, right?

Uh, yes.

Yeah, he's actually a...

He's actually a student of
mine at Pirethorn Academy.

- Oh, OK. - Mm.

That's interesting.

Mmm.

I'm... I... I'd prefer that
people didn't know just bec...

Oh, my God. Absolutely.

CLAIRE CHUCKLES

Yeah.

So, he just invites you
all over to lecture to you?

CLAIRE GRUNTS

I just...

Omar is a very intelligent,
very sincere sort of person.

- I never said he wasn't intelligent.
- And can you...?

Can you just let me finish?

Firstly, can you acknowledge

that there was a roomful of other
people who can hear the hum?

I have.

No, you haven't.

OK. I hereby acknowledge...

After weeks and weeks of telling
me that it was in my head.

I never said that.

- Oh, piss off! - Excuse me!

SHE SIGHS

I'm just...

I feel so much...better.

- So much... - You feel
less crazy being around

Mr "Deep State is out
to get you" guy?

- Damien? - Yeah.

OK. I admit, he was crazy.

Crazy?

And what about that, erm,
piece of gammon...

- Tom? - Yeah.

I mean, I was worrying that he was
coming across as the sensible one.

Mm-hm. And by sensible,

you mean completely dismissive
of everyone else's ideas.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, to be fair, I don't
think he's going to be back.

- He had another massive row
in the break. - Jesus.

CLAIRE SIGHS HEAVILY

But, look, on the whole...

On the whole,
I think in situations like this,

where people
are so obviously vulnerable,

I just get worried that...

- What, you think I'm vulnerable?
- ..people like...

Yeah. I mean, you said so yourself.

That's the only reason why I came.

Uh-huh. Well, no.

Technically, you invited yourself.

KEYS CLACK

- ON RADIO: - ..cloudy afternoon
on the whole.

Rain is expected by
the early evening.

Feeling cooler than yesterday
and breezy with highs of 22 Celsius.

- I hope you baked it.
- Mm, I did.

- Who did? - I found it.
- You baked it yourself?

- You found it on the street?
- Mm-hm, mm-hm. I did.

- Actually, someone brought it in
for you. - Thank you very much!

- Oh, that's so kind. - Alley-oop!

LAUGHTER DROWNS OUT WORDS

PA SYSTEM CHIMES

- ON PA: - Can Miss Kutty please
report to the Headteacher's office?

So aggressive.

- What have you done now?
- I've got no idea.

Save some of the
cake for me, will you?

- MUFFLED: - Mm!

Unlikely.

Hi, Claire.

Thanks for joining us. Erm...

This is Kyle's mother, Mrs Francis.

I think you've met.

We've met, yes. Hi.

What the hell are you
doing with my son?

Wait, erm... Well, your son
came to me a few weeks ago

because he had been
distracted in class and...

- And not sleeping, so I asked him...
- Erm, take a seat.

Yeah. Yes. Sorry. Yeah.

You've been seeing my son
outside of class, haven't you?

Going on drives with you
in your car to some group.

When the whole time
that he's telling me

that he's out with his mates.

Is this true, Claire?

Oh.

Erm...

It's, erm...

- The thing is, we both hear
this, uh, sound... - Oh, God.

Claire, it's a yes or no question.

Yes, I know. It's, erm...

Yes, we have gone on a few drives,
erm, outside of class, yes.

How many?

Maybe six or seven.

Right.

CLAIRE SIGHS

Have you ever taken my
son back to your house?

- No! - I can assure you,
Mrs Francis... - No, Mum...

Do I look assured to you?

- SOFTLY: - Mum, I told you.

You didn't tell me a goddamn thing
until I forced it out of you!

It's only thanks to your daughter...

MRS FRANCIS SNORTS

Give me the phone.

Unlock it.

"Stop..."

- BOTH: - "Stop seeing my mum.

- BOTH: - "Like, what the fuck?

"We're going through...

- BOTH: - "We're going
through the same thing.

"She could get fired,
for fuck's sake."

I have the greatest respect
for you as a teacher, Claire,

but I'm afraid I have no option
than to open a formal review.

There'll be
an investigating officer.

She'll want to speak with you,
Kyle, all the staff, students,

and a decision will be reached as
to whether or not to allow you back.

FAINT HEARTBEATS

- It wasn't... - You've been seeing
a student outside of school?! - Sh!

- What the fuck?
- SOFTLY: I know.

What were you thinking?

Look, he came to me
with a problem, and I...

TEARFULLY: And he's a student,
so I just...

I just...

I wanted to help him.

But he can hear what
I hear, and it's...

It's only ever been about that.

It's not specific to him.

It's a really fucking
romantic story, Claire.

- Oh, come on, Paul! - Really, really...

Please.

Have... Have you got
feelings for him?

CLAIRE LAUGHS HOPELESSLY

Don't you fucking laugh at me.

No. No.

- SOFTLY: - Fucking hell.

I should have been honest with you.

No, you shouldn't have done it.

You shouldn't have done any of it.

LOW HUM

Hey.

I messaged Kyle
because I was scared for you.

Yeah, I know.

And now people are saying
all kinds of shit.

Least you can hide out here.

I'm the one who has to
face them all tomorrow.

I-I'm sorry for
fucking everything up.

I... I didn't mean to.

SOFTLY: No. Come here,
come here. Come...

Hey, come here.

No.

You didn't fuck anything up.

- Have a good day. - Thanks.

Miss Kutty seems to have texted
you first. Is that correct?

Yeah, but I did it.

Like, I asked for her phone
number and she said, "No,"

so I took her phone

and texted myself from it.

That... That's actually
what happened.

What happened on these drives?

Erm, nothing.

We were just trying to take
measurements, you know,

like readings of decibel levels.

We were... We were trying to find
out what this sound is, that's all.

But why so clandestine?

The late night calls,
secluded locations.

Yeah, it wasn't like... It...

There was nothing.
It wasn't like that. It w...

On Thursday, the...

Thursday the 18th at 11:45pm,

Miss Kutty called you.

Is that correct?

Yeah.

- Did you ask him... - No. - ..not to
tell anyone what you were doing?

No. No, of course I didn't. No.

Your texts indicate you
gave him rules to follow.

- Yes. - When and how you
should contact each other.

Because I was trying
to set boundaries.

Look, nothing happened.

And I don't know what
more to tell you.

Nothing happened.

You're not in trouble, Kyle.

LOW HUM

Hi.

CLAIRE: What are you doing?

It was so intense.

CLAIRE SIGHS

They were asking me
all sorts of questions.

No, stop. Stop talking.

You can't tell me these things.

You can't call me.

I... I tried to explain,

but they didn't care.

I know, I understand...

I really want to see you.

No. OK?

Absolutely not.

- You can't see me. - Please.
- You can't call me.

Please, just stop it. All right?

Please.

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Hey, love.

Sorry, I can't really hear you.

Are you OK?

What did Paul say?

Mm.

I'll tell him when he gets home.

CLAIRE SIGHS

He'll be pissed off that I'm here.

But...

Because Kyle's here?

Or maybe because he comes here?

Or us? Or what? What?

I don't know, probably both.

Right.

He has been trying to help.

JO HESITATES

- But... - What, by isolating you

and cutting you off from
any kind of support network?

- No... - I know you love him
more than anything,

but for you to be the mother,

and the wife, that you want to be,

you really need to find
your way back to yourself.

Because you're really...

You have the chance to
make some real progress.

Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, during the investigation,

I was so scared and...

And I guess now,
now that it's happened,

now that I've been sacked...

Yeah. I mean, fuck it.

What else have I got to lose?

Oh, you actually have
a lot to lose, Claire.

I mean, the chance to...to...

..find the truth.

It's OK.

It's OK.

I know.

Erm, yeah.

Yeah. I will.

Tune in to yourself.

Let the outside melt away.

Try to listen.

Hear the blood circulating

that the hum is not your enemy.

It's not a curse, or a weapon,

or a problem to solve.

..being in it, not fighting it...

..felt really fucking good.

It's like most things -

you only really get
out what you put in.

Sometimes I wonder, you know,

if more people used to hear it.

Like different cultures,
throughout time.

It's like the world has
gotten louder but we...

..I think,
have forgotten how to listen.

SHE GULPS

Ha. Ha-ha!

- EXHALES: - Oh!

DOORBELL RINGS

Is that your husband?

KNOCKING AT DOOR

Yeah. Hold on.

I'll just go see what he wants.
KNOCKING AT DOOR

Hey.

What's going on? What are you doing?

I've come to take you home, Claire.

Well, you don't come and collect me.

I'm not a child.
I'll come home when I'm ready.

No.

No? What do you mean, no?

No. I mean, "No."

SHE SIGHS

I wanted to tell you in person.
I wasn't going to...

You have to choose to
come home to your family now.

What are you talking about?

Is he in there?

Come on!

This is fucking insane.

Why are you here, Claire?

Because I needed some support, Paul.

- From him? - I...

From these people?
From these fucking strangers?

- They're not strangers.
- What about us?

What about your family?

Look, I'm sorry
that you are hurting.

You don't have to apologise
for my feelings, Claire.

On the front of the house
where your daughter lives,

someone has spray-painted
the word "Paedo"!

And you're here with
this fucking kid.

Have you any idea how that looks?

Hi.

Claire?

We're just having a conversation.

I'm trying to have
a conversation with my wife.

Doesn't feel like a conversation.

Could you just give us a second?

- It sounds like you're
shouting at her. - OK...

- Erm... - I think
she'd like you to leave.

Will you just fuck off?

Fuck off from my own doorway?

Claire, get your shoes,
get your jacket - we're going.

OK, you need to stop now. OK?

- Is this about him? - Stop...
- Is this about him?

- It doesn't fucking matter!
- It fucking matters!

How can you not see
that it fucking matters?

Paul, don't.

Take your hands away.

Take your fucking hands off me.

OK, so I think you should just go.

OK? Just go.

It didn't have to be like this.

Get the fuck out of here.
You're not welcome here.

You hear me?

You're not fucking welcome!

ENGINE STARTS

TYRES CRUNCH ON GRAVEL

You OK?

Come on.

It's OK.

Will you have to move?

Yeah, I don't know.

I need to get the fuck
out of here, though.

America?

I'd settle for Birmingham.

- ANSWERPHONE:
- You have one new message.

ANSWERPHONE BEEPS

- PAUL ON PHONE: - Hey. It's me.
Erm, where are you?

I've been texting you.

Listen, everything's fine,

but I'm not going to
be home tonight, so...

Yeah, can you call me
when you get this?

Mum?

Love you.
