Er...hello. Hi. Um...
Yeah, I'm just going to record this for posterity. Um...
Huh! This is...this is weird. This is...this is really, really weird, actually, because...
Well, hell, I never thought I'd be making something so cool for someone so fucking amazing.
DISTANT SIRENS WAIL
Now, listen, she's this girl from school.
She's...she's never considered going out with someone like me,
but I'm going to try.
Because, you know, she's...she's inspired me!
I've been building an app so I can get to know who she really is.
Er...it's mostly me, but my friends from my coding forum,
they're...they're supporting me.
DISGUISED VOICE: Alyssa, the face that launched a thousand codes.
You know, she's smart and fit.
She's...she, er...she's just perfect. She's...
She's my muse.
Hmm!
Yeah.

Well? See that?! That's working. R3R0, you're a genius.
Our very own Cyrano de Zuckerberg.
Oh-ho-ho! Smashed it.
Time to use what you've learnt. Are you ready for the next part?
Yeah. You're ready.
It won't be long before she's all yours.
If you don't have the keys to the heart...
..then use the keys to the mind.
HUSHED CHATTER
Who cares what she likes?
I do. Every datapoint is a part of her mental landscape.
It's like reading a map.
What does she watch? Who are her friends?
Where does she hang out? What's her star sign?
Who does she fancy? Who does she hate?
Who are her family? What does she eat?
What does she wear? What are her passions?
What does she love? What does she want?
What does she need? What does she fear?
You've got enough info, just ask her out.
She's out of your league. Red Rose won't change that.
You can shut up.
We think it's time you made this IRL and ask her out, don't we?
Sure. 100%. Ask her out, now.
Um... I don't know. Like...
Because we've been talking now more than ever,
and she's asked to be my science partner,
and it's only been a month of bonding, so...
I don't want to rush it. I don't think there's any need to rush it.
Do you? Alyssa wants you to tell her what to do, trust me.
We're sick of the questions.
I feel like I'm becoming her.
Are you serious? Are you actually asking more questions right now?!
Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo, you dick! Just get on with it. Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss all you want. My Red Rose, my rules. OK?
RED ROSE ALERT
If she could really mindread, she'd know how much of a pussy you were!
LAUGHTER
Oh, for fuck's sake, R3R0, how much more do you need to know?
AS ALYSSA: I love Candy Fly!
Will you shut up?! Leave him be. This stuff takes time.
This isn't the Mona Lisa! Isn't it?
The Mona Lisa was a smug, ugly bitch. Ha-ha!
Let's face it, guys, Dr Limp Dick has been wasting our time.
He isn't going to ask her out. He can't do shit.
You've no idea what I can do.
Ooh! Ooh!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
R3R0? He's furiously masturbating. LAUGHTER
R3R0, are you there?
R3R0, what are you...?
Giving us the silent treatment.
Yeah, because you upset him.
He needs a thicker skin, then.
Patience isn't just a virtue, it's a necessity.
All right, Gandhi.
LAUGHTER
What? Oh, fuck!
This is her house! Oh, my God!
No fucking way!
HE EXHALES
Right, OK.
R3R0, you have master access.
Yeah. To...
..everything. Camera, files.
HE SIGHS
Literally everything.
How did you get master access?
Zero day exploit. Must be.
HE SIGHS
Oh, fuck!
Jacob?
Alyssa, hi! What...what are you doing here?
Um...just some coursework. What are you doing here?
I...I love this place. I...I come here all the time.
Really? I've never seen you and I'm always here.
Oh, no, I'm...I'm using the...cafe bit
cos it...it gets a bit dark for me.
That's why I like it. Oh.
You OK?
Yeah.
It's...it's just...it's just weird bumping into you, because...
You know when you want to tell someone something, but you don't know how...?
OK, ignore me, ignore me, ignore ME.
Um...
HE BREATHES DEEPLY
I like you, Alyssa.
I think we share a lot in common, and...
..and I like you, a lot.
A...and...
Jacob, I...I didn't know.
Yeah. It's been a while. It's been since Year 10.
That long?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's when Mrs Seddon sat us down next to each other in History.
I thought you were the most beautiful girl...I'd ever seen.
And you've just gotten more beautiful since then.
I like you...
..but not like that.
I'm sorry, Jacob, I just... I feel differently than you do.
Jacob...?
Yeah, no, that's fine. That's fine.
We've got to take these chances, haven't we?
Um...I'm going to leave you to it.
SHE SIGHS
She said she don't like me like that.
HE SNIFFLES
Why? Why? What...what is it I did wrong?
You bombed it.
After all those questions, and you fucking bombed it.
Told you she'd say no.
He took a risk. More than you'd have ever done.
Why'd you pick a library? Dr Olympic strikes again!
LAUGHTER Why the fuck do I even talk to you?
You're fucking me off!
Premature ejaculation.
MESSAGE ALERT
You OK, R3R0?
Yeah. Yeah.
N-No, no, I'm...I'm not.
Rejection's hard.
We've all been there.
But Red Rose can help all of us.
I wasn't ready, and you all pushed me to ask her out.
So tell me, why the fucking fuck did I listen to you?
What matters now is that you've made something incredible.
It's a beautiful tool.
I have ideas I can implement for you.
Like what? Just needs a few tweaks.
If you make me admin, I can help get you back on track.
We need to tune out the white noise till all she sees is you.
If that doesn't work, we'll change it.
You can try it again and again
and again and again,
until you finally have each other.
Done.
Thank you for actually being there for me.
No worries. People like us have to help each other.
Rest up, Red Rose is in good hands.
Give me a few weeks and we'll start again. Mm-hm.
I wonder what it's like to have someone actually love you back.
You know, love ME back.
I am going to try again. He thinks I'll get her in the end, but...
I don't know. But I...
Alyssa.
Alyssa, are...are you O...?
Bet it takes ages to heat this house.
Not with those windows, they look double-paned.
I'm not a fan of the decorations, though. What's wrong with them?
They're rich. Get a real tree. I like them.
You would, American! Ha!
I think there's a ghost in the TV.
Holy shit! Fuck! She's shitting herself!
What the fuck are you doing?
To be fair, I'd shit myself.
Watch this.
Lights on! Like a deer in the headlights.
Electra, lights off.
Stop this now. Stop. Electra, lights off!
Electra ain't listening, honey!
Lights off. For now.
Whooee!
ALYSSA: What the fuck! Mother's home, Alyssa.
Alyssa?
You're torturing her, you... LAUGHTER
..fucking psychos!
You're the one who got master access. You made this.
Now let's see what we can do with it.
CALL RINGS OUT
This is Alyssa, and I don't listen to messages. Fuck!
Please, I don't understand!
Please tell me...tell me what's happening! I don't understand!
Please! Oh!
Holy shit, that was fun!
RIP, Alyssa.
I always thought she needed a little push.
Can we play next time? You killed her.
But she killed herself.
The only person to blame is Alyssa.
She didn't have to go along with Red Rose, but she did.
Right, you listen to me, I'm going to find out who you are and I'm going to tell the police!

BELL CHIMES
They've got cameras everywhere!
Red Rose has been sharing everything to the dark web.
First Alyssa, then Rochelle,
then Wren, and now, all of us.
Yeah, but why? I don't know.
There are some people who've come to Bolton.
Some are watching, some are playing.
I don't know where the Gardener is. I thought Simon was?
Simon was a victim, too.
The Red Rose site has a record of everything, including Simon.
The Gardener was manipulating him.
He hacked into Simon's computer and downloaded child abuse onto it.
That's why he killed himself. It's fucking sick.
Red Rose has a load of live streams,
and there were two cameras at the hospital following you guys.
And Wren, can you see her?
No. The feed is blank. I don't know where she is.
It's time. Standing down. On to the next location.
Wait. The ones in the hospital, they're leaving.
What? Where are they going?
I don't know.
Let me see what I can find out.
As soon as I can, I'll call.
LIVE FEED: Don't let the chips and gravy distract you.
Keep your strength up, piggy! SNORTING

I shouldn't be talking to you, but I had to.
You made me think, after our chat.
What do you want?
What you said about Wren was...inspiring.
She's been through so much. I want to help you.
I want to be a dickhead.
Where's Wren?
Where is she?!
I'm going to ask you a question...
..and I want you to answer honestly.
Has Red Rose changed the way you see the world?
Yeah.

Where are you? Stop moving! There's cameras ahead.
Wait! There's cameras! What?
You can't use the doors. They're all covered.
We have to find another way.
There are tunnels running through Bolton! What tunnels?
The tunnels that link up to different buildings from, like, centuries ago.
How do you know that? I know everything about Bolton.
We'll call you when we're in.

Hopefully Noah will kill himself if Wren dies. I can't bear it...

I'm glad you came, Wren.
It means a lot to me.
I should just accept my fate, Wren.
What fate?
How I'm going to kill you.
You're not him!
Take a seat.
We're more alike than you think.
I killed someone. You killed your friend.
No, I didn't! Rochelle would be alive if it weren't for you.
Daddy's little girl, ain't you?
Oh, fuck off!
No, I'm going to hurt you and you're going to hurt me.
"Psycho dad kills psycho daughter", that's what they'll all say.
You know no-one will believe it!
Don't matter what happens in here. Out there...
I control what people think. CLICK
You're a fuck-up. You're just like your dad.
What an embarrassment!
You ruined Vinny's life. You are disgusting!
You fucked it. You fucked it for you, you fucked it for us, cos that's what you are.

In a way, you do. We've been talking for months.
The Gardener.
How did you find out that name?
What's in a name, eh?
Wren, listen to me. Stop talking to him.
Just leave now. Wren, he's crazy. Get out, Wren.
Why are you doing this? Why?
I think you're great. We all do.
Don't we? AUDIENCE CHEERS

Jaya, can Red Rose be deleted?
Yeah, I can delete it. But if I do that, there'll be no evidence.
These psychos will just walk free, and that'll be it.
I don't care. Fuck him up. Get rid of his audience.
AUDIENCE JEERS AND LAUGHS
He'd better not fuck the show up. Get out now!

I get it.
Give it to me.

This isn't you. Now go.
OK.

Are you OK? Oh, my God, come on.
You're fine. Right, right, let's go...
You're OK, yeah? You're safe.
Jaya?
Who are you?
Who do you think I am?
Are you one of them?
There's nothing you can prove!
Why did you help us?
Why not?
It worked. The Gardener's dead.
Is she?
You're... You're the Gardener?
Dead teenagers is one thing. But when I saw Wren's potential,
I thought it would be fun to see how far she could go.
"Go"?
Would she kill?
Wren wouldn't do that.
Wouldn't she?
I deleted Red Rose. It's gone.
SHE LAUGHS You can't delete an idea, Jaya.
Is it over?
