We've got Velorum nervous.
It's been seven months, and we've got fuck-all to show for it.
Not one bit of evidence.
It's them, Vivian. They're coming for us.
Velorum weren't buying their silence, they were buying time.
Hello, Barbie.
I have been speaking to Velorum staff.
There's this guy, Ben. He's in Slovenia at Exodum now.
Velorum's new venture. Elite wellness for the new world order.
These are people they are lining up for slaughter.
We help those people because no one else will.
I might know someone who can help.
- They're gonna come after you. - Let them try.
I love you, Jamie.
But I can't do this.
Welcome to Exodum.
Pippa.
Thank you for coming all this way. Um
I chose to do this here
because it's one of the last places I remember us all together.
Our family.
Happy. Well, not not happy, but not unhappy.
My dad was a coach, he was obsessed with me playing.
You play football?
Oi! Don't interrupt him.
My dad dragged me here every single week
for ritual humiliation,
and Pippa would always join.
I used to think that she just didn't want to miss me
making a dick out of myself,
but it wasn't that.
She, um she was there to gas me up.
I was there for the boys and burgers,
and she was there for me.
And if anyone took the piss she would
She would throw rocks in their eyes.
Every week she sat where you are.
Before our mom passed...
...she made...
...she made Pip--
she made Pippa-- I'm sorry.
"Before our mum passed,
she made Pippa swear to keep going to my games.
She never missed one."
Unbelievable.
You had one job.
It's It was all I could find. I
It's fine.
"Mum was asking her to always have my back.
And she did.
And on the ship, she died helping other people, too.
She deserved so much better than what happened to her.
And I won't stop until I've finished what she started.
I'm not here just to say the goodbye I never got to,
I wanted to say thank you.
Thank you, Pippa."
Jesus Christ, Jamie, what are you
No way.
Oh, shit.
It can't be.
No.
You're alive.
What are you doing here?
OK, guys, listen up! Are you ready to have
the most emotionally regulating - Where have you been?
- What's going on? - three days of your lives?
I'm Tristanas. Or you can call me Tristan.
And, I mean, if we really get to know each other, I don't mind Trist.
I work on the event team. My pronouns are
I've been looking for you. Tell me. - are he and him.
Claire. Claire.
Come on, don't be a she-shy.
Uh Sorry, uh
Hi, I'm Claire.
Just Claire. I, uh, I work with him.
OK, guys, if you've signed in, follow moi.
And if not, come forward.
And remember, your mind is like a parachute.
Only works when it's open.
Yah! Whoo!
Come on, let's do this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who pissed in his kombucha?
Oh, no, no, he's, um, he's fine.
He's fine. He's just He's gay and tired, aren't you?
Prone to drama and exaggeration, so
You know what? I rate that.
I love that, um, emotional regulation for you.
Hey. How are you?
Are you guys signed in?
Yeah, we we work with Ben.
Still have to sign in, my lovely.
And everyone needs a tour.
I could, uh, I'll show them where to park.
Yeah, yeah. Just take one of them.
The rest of you come with me.
Oh, no, no, we said we were working with Ben, so we don't need--
And don't worry, there ain't no tour like a Tristan tour,
'cause a Tristan tour is a tour of the mind.
- Come on, let's go. - Come on.
Jamie.
What the fuck?
We all thought you were dead.
I am.
Pippa Walsh is dead, and it has to stay that way.
I can't exist until Velorum are gone.
What you doing here, Jamie?
What am I doing here?
Sorry, can we wind it back?
All this time.
- Where the hell have you been? - There's a lot I need to explain.
Yeah, just a bit.
I'm here with a group.
We're imbedded across the festival.
- Working on the inside. - Who?
If you get caught, it's game over for all of us.
You have to go.
Are you mad?
I'm going nowhere.
Drive.
- I can't. - You can. Just breathe.
No, no, I literally can't. I haven't learnt.
I thought you were having lessons?
Yeah, I was.
But life throws you curveballs sometimes.
Like your sister death-jumping from a commercial cruise liner.
Yeah, well, that's fair.
Exodum.
Three days, 1,000 people,
and 900 acres of transcendental escapism.
This event is all about rebirth, connecting with primal energy
I thought Pippa jumped overboard.
- Is she working for Velorum? - Shh!
Guests arrive tomorrow in the a.m.,
and every single one attending has been
Is this what you meant about keeping a low profile?
Look, we've made it this far, haven't we?
Just keep your heads down and blend in.
Let's just find these prisoners and get out of here.
- Beaker? - Velorum came after us.
And what? You thought you'd go on a jolly behind enemy lines?
Look, there are people here who need our help.
We don't know what's going on, but if it's anything like the ship, they don't have long.
Just leave them to us.
I'm so sorry you got involved in any of this,
but you can't be here.
Thank fuck no one's looking for you at the festival.
No one knows about the Sacramentum here.
These gimps have nothing to do with what happened on the ship.
It's being kept need-to-know.
And Exodum is Devon Devereaux's gig.
- Owen Devereaux's - Daughter.
I know who she is.
Then you know she's a self-serving psycho
you don't wanna mess with.
She wants to take over Velorum.
She's the worst person I've ever met.
And I went to stage school.
You've got no idea what you've just walked into, Jamie.
You can pick up bindis and clip-in braids at the gift shop.
OK, so this way is the spa.
And this way takes us to the lake.
We have drum circles, pottery,
transformational workshops.
Awakening the clitoris, sourdough for beginners.
We've got slack lining, escape and evade.
It's this game where we make camouflage out of pond scum
and hide in the woods.
Yeah, I played it once at Shamba Wamba Fest.
Took 'em, like, three days to find me.
Yoni steaming. Treat yourselves, ladies, am I right? Mm?
Important bit of housekeeping.
You can never leave.
Unless you use the main gates.
It's, uh, it's pretty wild out there.
If you go off-track, you just might never find your way back.
What's a yoni?
They told me that you jumped overboard.
I did.
But I'd made arrangements.
I went looking for you on that ship.
I know.
My group monitor everything Velorum does.
They told me what you did.
- Jamie-- - You'd have done the same.
I couldn't.
It wouldn't have been safe.
I was protecting you.
Like I always have.
Like I always will.
Who are they? Who are you here with?
You don't wanna know.
I've got to get back.
No, I am not letting you leave me again.
Everything I'm doing here is for us, Jamie.
I'm begging you,
go back that way, wait in your cabin.
You can sneak out back tonight when it's quietened down.
- No, I'm not-- - Just, please,
don't follow me.
I'll tell you everything you wanna know,
I promise, but you've got to go.
We're at the finish line.
Three days is all I need, and this nightmare will be over.
Head back that way.
Three days.
What if I can just
Pippa.
Exodum HQ.
So this place was built way back
as a mad flex pad for the Devereaux family.
They've opened their ancestral home for Exodum.
Ground floor is in use, but the rest of the house
is strictly off-limits.
Do I have to do everything around here?
- Will someone please tell me? - That's Devon Devereaux.
She put all of this together.
She basically invented hustle culture.
She's an inspiration.
Yeah.
Don't talk to her.
Oh, my God, she's coming.
Wait, wait, she could recognize us.
I don't know, Cormac, shh.
Wait, wait! Fucking grow up.
- Hey, Devon, how are-- - What are those?
These? These are Tabis. I got them as samples--
Yeah. This entire house is barefoot only.
Sorry. Sorry.
Oh, you will be.
You're denigrating precious mobile electrons, Tristan.
You degenerate fuck boy. Hello.
Excuse me. Yes, no, you Sasquatch.
We touch with our eyes, yes? Not with our hands.
Sorry.
What a legend.
Alright. Go settle in.
There's a staff hangout at the beach later.
A few bevvies, a couple of singing bowls,
and, I don't know, unearth some dark sexual secrets.
Welcome. And, uh, namaste.
The Homes and Country copy calls us a glamping retreat.
- Glamping! - It's a portmanteau.
Yes, I know what it is, Jean. Amend it.
And is that for the Kurosawa? Get it up.
Yes. The Swedish couple who cancelled
say that they can make it now.
What? For the change-maker package? - Mm-hmm.
Well, didn't we already like
that little strawberry-blond boy?
- Mm-hmm. - Oh, God, that's annoying.
Uh, no, that's really annoying actually.
Tell them to fuck off, no refunds.
"Fuck off, no refunds."
Janez wants to talk to you. Uh, the site foreman.
Ah, there he is. Look, he's got his shoes on and everything.
It's almost like nobody gives a fuck. Get rid of him.
- Miss Devereaux, I need - Yes, hi, hello
- Uh, Janez. - Janez.
Not now, thank you.
- My team needs-- - Not now!
What's taking so bloody long?
Yeah, I know. Sorry, boss. Look, I know we were meant
to have this thing wrapped up by now,
but we ran into some
some complications.
Some of the bastards got away.
- Are you there? - What do you mean, "got away"?
It's nothing to worry about, like. We got a lock on their location.
They're hiding with The Baby.
Baby? What baby?
Well, he's not an actual baby, he's a bloke.
He's a great big Filipino unit, he was on the ship with 'em.
Anyway, we won't be much longer now.
Promise.
Me and your lad are on it.
He doesn't He doesn't say much, does he?
Nobody plans murder out loud.
Is he a bit you know?
Much like yourself, no, he's not burdened
by an overabundance of intelligence.
Never mind him. Get it done.
You've got 24 hours.
OK.
Yeah, no problem. You take care now, all the best.
Ta-ra. Ta-ra.
Come on.
Hi, sorry, um, did a did a girl just go this way?
I didn't see anyone. Sorry.
Hey, are you OK?
I'm fine.
Whoa, bunk beds!
Yay.
Hope you've all had your tetanus shots.
I don't think these are hypoallergenic.
Look, alright, so far, so good.
Not been shot on sight.
Just need to find Jamie now.
Lauren.
- It's Lauren's boyfriend. - Wait, OK. Wait, wait.
How much do we actually know about this Ben?
I know he's gone out of his way to try and help us.
We've been speaking for months, and he's been there for me.
And he's a Pisces.
Well
we all remember what happened last time
someone had a consensual workplace relationship.
Oh, sorry, Sophia, weren't you the one clapping psychotic duck boy?
Yeah, well, Sam never tried to saw me in half, did he? So
Look, I trust him.
He's here to help us.
- Hi. - Oh, hi.
- I was worried you'd bailed. - No, um
Hi.
Uh, it's, um, mad to meet you all.
Lauren told me all about you.
What you did on the Sacramentum was unreal.
Honestly, I'm a a big fan.
Right, well, I'm off to look for Jamie.
Nice to meet you, Ben.
He's off with his dead sister.
Right. Sorry, what?
Oh.
Um, if you see Pippa, could you ask her about my trousers?
She borrowed my Jil Sander high-waisted trousers,
and she never gave them back.
I couldn't really be mad at her back then, because, you know,
she was dead, or whatever, but, yeah.
I need some answers, so
Won't be long.
I've got something to show you.
Drink?
Come on.
Head back.
I'll meet you at the mill tonight.
What is this?
We've spent a long time planning this.
A lot of lives depend on us.
And I am not going to let you ruin it.
You're the one she's here with.
It might not seem like it, but this is for your own good.
Jamie.
When I cut these ties, you are going to run,
and you are not going to look back.
Or you can do that.
You might want to listen to this next part.
Not many people realize how easy it is to get lost out here.
Two-hundred meters off the trail, one wrong turn.
Could take you a week to find your way back.
You'll want to rush.
Don't.
Heeyyy.
Let's no brain panic.
Which you're obviously prone to.
Take it slow.
You'll want to head east.
You can't just leave me out here.
By the time you find your way, Velorum will be history.
And we'll have a cold one waiting for you.
Hmm?
Leave this to the professionals, yeah?
Where is he?
- Thank you, thank you, thank you! - Baby.
Baby!
Oh, Erica and Hannah!
Oh, it's this way, through here.

The island. They've had

There's no way out there. Not seen a single boat.

- Which one are you? - I'm the best one.
So, did you just fancy chilling off-grid for a bit,
or did you have dinner plans you weren't vibing?
Yeah, I, uh I thought I'd just take some time out, you know.
- Mm. - Recharge.
No, honestly, did not see it coming.
Full marks. No notes.
Where is he?
- Jamie? - Mm.
He was going to your cabin.
Claire.
- Hey, hey. - What?
If you're really his friend, you'll make sure he sees sense.
Make sure he leaves.
Nice to meet you, too.
Hey, girl.
Who'd you piss off this time?
- You're not-- - No, I'm not.
They put something in your water.
You've been drugged.
Whoever they are, they really don't want you around.
Hey, look at me, stay awake.
Keep your eyes open.
Get up, Jamie.
No, I can't.
Yes, you can.
Come on.
Come on, there we go.
You have to get back.
Pippa needs you.
And you need answers.
It's your lucky day.
Whoa!
Who spent four weeks at number one in 1977
with her disco classic "I Feel Love"?
Donna Summer.
Electronic, great club record, it's been re-released.
It's been a hit twice. Donna Summer.
- James, you have another one. - Baby!
The Wurzels took which
Oh, Baby!
Come out to play.
They're here. Lock the door.
Hey up, Baby.
Long time no see. How are ya, lad?
I think you've got something that belongs to us.
Where are they?
Shit.
Argh!
Didn't expect that one, did ya?
Nasty bastard.
Do him!
My go!
Jamie.
Shit.
Jamie?
Jamie!
Bastards!
They bloody played us.
Hmm.
Right, listen, Baby.
I always respected you, yeah.
You knew the score.
And Velorum, well, they like quick results, don't they?
And I'll be honest with you, I need to deliver, so
I'm gonna give you one last chance to tell me where they are.
Or my friend here's gonna cook us up some Baby back ribs.
Fuck you.
Fuck me?
Burn! Baby! Burn!
Where are they?
Where are they?!
Again.
Stop! Please.
Don't hurt him anymore.
I'll tell you.
I know where they are going.
That's it. Get it out.
You're all right.
You're all right, you're all right.
So, Pippa told you to leave.
- And then they just-- - Made sure I did.
Well, who are they?
I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
Who brought you back here?
You don't know.
She's in trouble, Vivian.
I could tell.
We need to know who they are.
Yep.
Great. Someone else to add to the rescue list.
'Cause we've not got enough going on.
Easy, easy, easy.
- I'm OK. I'm all right. - All right?
How many fingers am I holding up?
Four.
Close enough.
Come on, we need to find the others.
♪♪ And snake head Tunnels out the Earth ♪♪
- You OK? - It's nice. It's good.
So, uh, how long have you worked for Velorum for?
Oh, too long.
I started out as an AV techy on one of the ships,
and I had no clue what they were doing.
I'd heard rumors, you know, people going missing,
but ignorance is bliss.
And and I'd lost someone.
A friend, actually, a close friend.
- And that's how I met Lauren. - Yeah.
And the other day, I came here early to scope the place out.
And I saw those people.
They were everywhere. I thought I wasn't gonna get away--
It's just just a bit convenient, isn't it?
You managed to escape the other day,
and then you managed to get us all in here.
- No questions asked. - Cormac.
Look, I lost someone that I cared about.
And the other day, I watched a man's face melt off.
So, I think I'm just as invested in this as you are.
Look, um, shall we go for a walk?
Ben?
Dickhead.
What?
Nice one.
Look, I don't trust the guy, OK?
And I'm not buying the whole Aussie space cowboy act either.
I don't think he's pretending to be Australian, babe.
Right, OK, can I just say, I'm with Cormac.
What?
Have you not noticed how he hasn't looked at me?
He's not checked me out, not once.
Not one single time.
He's obviously very, very dangerous, so
Maybe you're not his type.
Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe.
D'you think that's where they're gonna be hurting people, then?
Are they building a new kill floor?
Fits the bill, doesn't it?
Hidden in plain sight.
Having fun?
Oh, man, they drugged you?
I heard them talking about a mill.
I think Pippa might be there. I need to try find her and warn her.
- Tell her what they did. - Wait, wait, wait.
Did we not pass a mill on the way down here?
Let's move.
Going somewhere, boys?
Not running off without finishing the job, are you?
Jean tells me you want more money.
Your original quote is legally binding.
My boys have been talking, and they don't feel--
Oh! Might as well stop you there.
Now your feelings, yeah? Super valid.
But I'm not actually paying you to feel.
So, ah, please continue.
- We don't feel-- - Ah, whoa!
We don't think whatever you're doing here,
what you're doing on that island
You're not paying enough for us to be a part of this.
Hasn't been a problem until now.
What did you think?
You could smuggle out the site plans
and use them to, what?
Blackmail us?
That's very silly, isn't it?
Very silly.
Now, my family are difficult,
and putting me in charge of all this has been a lot of pressure.
So, I've really been working on myself, like a lot of, um,
conflict-resolution stuff.
God, I'm sorry, that's rude, that's so rude. I'm speaking.
Conflict resolution.
So emotions can show up at work.
And the way that we respond is reflective of our shadow, yes?
Are you are you familiar with Jung?
'Course not.
So what he called our shadow, yes,
is the dark side of our personality.
And, well, we can be a bit more performative at work.
I mean, not you lot.
Bunch of cowboys.
But, we can be under a bit more pressure to, um
God, I don't know, uh,
make a premium wellness festival a success,
or finally earn a modicum of our father's respect.
And that can bring out our shadow.
But, actually
if we meet the shadow in the middle
we have a rare opportunity to examine a buried part of ourselves
so we can live more authentically.
That's fully organic sulphuric acid.
Know thy shadow
know thyself.
Please.
I'm sorry. We'll finish the job.
We'll finish the job.
Oh, no. No, no. No, thank you.
You violated my boundaries, actually.
No, Jean's got a new guy starting.
Twice as nice for half the price.
Don't ever rip off a Devereaux.
Jamie. Jesus! You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine. - You're still looking a bit rough.
Just take it easy, yeah?
So, did your sister know what Velorum's doing here?
Where they're holding those people?
Like, is it another kill floor situation, or
or kill island?
We didn't get that far.
I mean, that probably should have been top of the agenda, but whatever.
Is this what you're looking for?
Wait, wait.
Listen.
Oh, hey, guys.
Jesus Christ.
You guys looking to party?
Just get the fuck out, please.
Whoa.
Such an angry soul.
Are you sure they'll be here?
Look, even if you tell Pippa what they did to you,
she really doesn't want us here, Jamie.
You're going to have to accept that.
Yeah. Yeah, no offense, but I didn't come all the way out here
to deal with your family fuckery, so
Someone's coming.
And, um, Vivian fell for this girl, Lily,
who went full turbo bitch, tried to dead her with a chainsaw.
Now Viv doesn't really sleep at night,
just listens to Joni Mitchell on repeat.
And I know 'cause I moved into Olly's old room.
Uh, Jamie's boyfriend,
who left 'cause Jamie was unhealthily obsessed
with avenging his sister.
- Sorry. - Sorry.
His sister who's here, who isn't actually dead?
Well
we all escaped.
But I dunno, not really.
You know?
Anyway, um, I moved rooms,
and now I hear Vivian crying at night.
But at least I don't have to cry alone anymore, so
Not really sure why I just told you that.
And I've tried to focus.
You know, focus on work,
speaking to Velorum employees who want to help.
And to you.
But, actually, speaking to you has been the only time
I've forgot everything.
Um, I guess what I'm trying to say is
things are messy
and, like, with Cormac, please just don't take it personally
'cause we all have trust issues.
Ben?
Right, do you want to tell her or should I?
What d'you think you're doing?
I am here for you.
Your friends they-they took me into a forest,
drugged me, and left me for dead.
- What? - He was following you.
I had a word with him. Nobody was drugged.
They left me in the middle of nowhere.
- Pippa. - Shut up, Billy.
We, uh, left you out in the wilderness, and yet here you are.
- Someone helped me. - Someone helped you?
Who?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Um, sorry, who are you?
It doesn't matter who they are.
Well, it matters to me!
Tell me what's going on!
We're part of a group.
We call ourselves Ore.
O?
Ore.
As in like the letter or?
When I knew Velorum were up to something
on the Sacramentum, I found Maggie.
I reached out to her when I was still on the ship.
Ore are a network.
Small, but all over the world.
They've all lost people who have worked for Velorum.
- Never heard of you. - We're kind of exclusive.
They promised to help me get off the ship if I collected evidence.
They wanted me to map the ship and look up missing crew.
I was trapped.
And Sam, Velorum, they were on to me.
It was a matter of time.
Maggie was following the ship.
She was meant to meet me at the next port,
but I had to make an early exit.
Come on!
They're good people, Jamie.
Maggie saved my life.
She was a teacher.
Lost her daughter on one of the cruise ships.
Olivia.
- She started the group. - Good people?
They doped him to the gills
and let him go walkies round Death Valley.
We just had a chat.
Like you asked me to.
What?
Did you send them after me?
I knew you wouldn't listen to me.
I wanted them to talk to you.
I needed you to take this seriously.
What we're doing here might be the most important thing we'll ever do.
The last ten months have been a nightmare.
I've seen things nobody should.
And I'll do anything, anything to end this.
Whatever it takes to get my life back.
To be back with you.
Whatever it takes?
Whatever it takes.
Look, there there is clearly a mutual cause here, right?
Why can't we just do this thing together?
We're all here on the same rescue mission.
This isn't a rescue mission.
Far from it.
You just couldn't leave it, could ya?
I didn't want this.
I've spent my life,
my whole life trying to protect you,
and you've only ever made it difficult.
"Whatever it takes" means anything.
And "anything" means doing this with anyone.
I didn't want you to know, but
this is the only way we can do this.
