    EPISODE ONE

    EXT. HUB CITY - DAY

    A gleaming future city, surrounded by untold expanses offorests, windmills and solar plants.

    CAPTION: PARALLEL 808-9087-001 HUB

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    IOKAN (35), thin, ill and distressed, sits in a wheelchairand stares forward.

    INT. LABORATORY - DAY

    A glass beaker containing a clear liquid falls in slow,agonising memory, drawn out again and again. It hits the

    ground, bounces and spills the liquid.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    A woman holds a mug of tea in front of Iokan. He jumps at thesight of the mug, straining to get away from it while unableto get out of his wheelchair and IV drip.

    A kindly but harrassed THERAPIST runs up, hands full withfiles and papers, and gently pulls the mug away.

    THERAPISTHes got a problem with cups.

    LISS (25), the woman holding the mug, who seems patheticallydesperate to help, backs off. Iokan subsides into merelystaring.

    LISSOh. Er, would you like some tea?

    THERAPISTIm fine. You drink that one.

    The Therapist guides her back to her own chair in a circle of

    seven. KATIE (30), in a wheelchair in the circle, speaks withthe flat tones of a machine.

    KATIEThe individual is defective. Heshould be euthanised.

    OLIVIA (55), grumpy, thin, weather-lined and also sat in thecircle, scowls at Iokan.

    OLIVIAWere killing him? Oh, well, bagsy

    the meat then.

    PEW (20), handsome but hunched over as though hed beenbullied since birth, giggles like a schoolboy.

    PEWYou wouldnt. Would you?

    She gets a stern look from the Therapist.

    OLIVIAAh, fuck it, he hasnt got any meaton him anyway.

    KWAME (45), a military man with troubled eyes, looks at herwith disgust.

    KWAMEYoure not actually a cannibal...?

    Olivia looks all wide eyed and innocent. Pew smirks again.

    THERAPISTYes, thank you, can we quiet down?Thank you. Can we all welcome Iokanto the meeting as its his firsttime?

    Iokan stares forward, bloodshot and oblivious.

    LISSCan he hear us?

    THERAPISTIokan is having difficulties, butitll help if we make him feel likepart of the group.

    LISSOh. Hello, Iokan!

    PEWHi.

    KWAMEHello.

    Iokan doesnt seem to notice.

    IOKAN POV

    Corpses cover the floor in the therapy room while everyoneelse stays sat in their chairs, oblivious.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    Everyone else looks back at him.

    THERAPISTWell. Well start with who we areand what happened. Who wants to gofirst?

    Silence for a moment. Kwame sighs.

    KWAMEShall I?

    Olivia rolls her eyes. Shes heard all this before. Kwameleans forward to address the group.

    KWAMEMy name is Ndar Kwame Vangona, andI am the last survivor of my world.

    They all pay attention, each in their own way.

    EXT. COUNTRYSIDE - DAY

    A grey city lines the horizon. A flash of light burns it.

    KWAME (V.O.)The first bomb wasnt a missile. Itwasnt an enemy attack, so far as Iknow. Could have been an accident.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    KWAMEThe president was killed. Most ofthe government was killed. The onlyone left was the sports minister.He had to decide whether or not toretaliate, and who to retaliateagainst. The war lasted about sixhours, by which time my countrydidnt exist.

    He sips tea.

    KWAMEI was stationed at a shelter withcryogenic hibernation chambers, sothe high command could survive andwait out the after effects withoutwasting supplies. But no one turnedup. I waited for a month. There wasno communication from outside. Theradiation levels made it impossibleto leave. Eventually I decided touse the hibernation chamber. Ifsomeone found me, then at least I

    would have survived. If not...Well, I was found, by the surveyteam that came to my universe...

    seventy years later. By which time,I was the only one left. So I camehere. And Ive been here for ayear. I give lots of interviews.And thats it.

    Pew puts up his hand, nervously.

    PEWUm... wasnt there anyone else atthe shelter? I mean, working there,like you?

    Kwame pauses a moment.

    KWAMEWe were billeted outside theshelter. None of the others made it

    in time.

    THERAPISTHow are you sleeping?

    KWAMEThe same.

    THERAPISTDo you want to talk about that?

    KWAMEDoctor... I never want to sleepagain.

    OLIVIAWell thats good, because thescreaming keeps the rest of usup...

    Uncomfortable pause. Kwame keeps his silence.

    THERAPISTShall we move on?

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    THERAPISTShall we move on? Who wants to gonext?

    Nothing.

    THERAPIST

    Olivia?

    OLIVIAWhat?

    THERAPISTWould you like to go next? Olivia?

    OLIVIAWhy dont you ever call me doctor?

    THERAPISTIm sorry?

    OLIVIAYoure always Olivia this andOlivia that, I know you bloodypsychologists, you think callingpeople by their first names makesthem want to talk to you. You cancall me Doctor Mortlake or you cankiss my arse.

    THERAPISTOkay. Doctor Mortlake. Tell us...

    tell us what youre a doctor of. Itake it not a medical doctor?

    Olivia snorts.

    THERAPISTOr did the educational system workdifferently in your universe?

    OLIVIAI have a PhD in Necrobiology fromCambridge University.

    6/23

    THERAPISTThats interesting. We have aCambridge University on my world.

    OLIVIA

    Ill bet.

    THERAPISTIm not sure what necrobiology is,though.

    Olivia sighs, exasperated.

    OLIVIAIts an oxymoron. Necro, dead,biology, the science of life. Thestudy of dead alive things. Only

    they werent dead, they wereinfected with a virus that set up aparallel metabolism that co-optedthe host body once the originalmetabolism stopped. There was neveranything dead about them. Exceptfor the stink. Youve bloody got metalking now, havent you?

    The Therapist smiles in a friendly way.

    INT. LAB - DAY

    A younger Olivia, wearing a lab coat, looks into a cage. Azombie moans back at her.

    OLIVIA (V.O.)People got infected. They didntrealise it. Theyd die, usually ofsomething else, and then theyd getup again. Only they didnt rememberanything and they were hungry.Usually theyd try and eat thefirst person they came across.

    The zombie with red eyes reaches out for Olivia. She makes amark on a clipboard and moves on.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    LISSEw.

    OLIVIAMy work was with animals.

    EXT. AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH STATION - DAY

    Olivia, older now but still in a lab coat, looks into afield. A cow with red eyes stares back at her.

    7/23

    OLIVIA (V.O.)Because it got into them as well,and as soon as they wereslaughtered theyd get up again andthe meat would go off. So I helped

    figure out a chemical marinade tostop the decomposition.

    She ticks a box on a clipboard.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    OLIVIAPity we hadnt figured out what thevirus was by that stage, might havestopped spreading it. Wed onlyjust figured out what viruses were.

    KATIEWere you infected?

    OLIVIAOf course I was bloody infected.

    KATIEInitiate quarantine protocol.

    Katie slumps in her chair.

    OLIVIAIm not infected now.

    Katie sits back up.

    KATIEQuarantine protocol disengaged.

    OLIVIAThey cured it a week after thesurvey crew found me. A fuckingweek. We couldnt figure it out inthirty years and you lot did it in

    a week. Too late for all the poorbastards still wandering around.

    KWAMEAnd yet you never became one ofthem.

    She smiles. Not a very nice smile.

    OLIVIAWell, there wasn't any shortage offood...

    EXT. RESEARCH STATION - DAY

    Olivia, older again and now wearing the patched up and filthyremnants of her labcoat, looks through a chainlink fence at agroup of zombies that shuffle towards her. She makes a tick

    on a clipboard.

    OLIVIA (V.O.)Once all the animals were gone andthere were more of them than us...well, lets just say that themarinade worked on all kinds offlesh.

    Olivia picks up a bloodstained hatchet...

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    Various looks of disgust and horror. Liss makes a face.

    LISSYoure horrible.

    OLIVIAAnd what did you do to survive?

    LISSI wouldnt do that.

    OLIVIAYou should have given it a few moreyears. You know you cant even tellthe difference when its minced.

    KWAMEThats enough.

    She scowls at him.

    THERAPISTWell. Thank you for... beinghonest. Whos next?

    CAPTION: PARALLEL 808-9087-001 HUB

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    THERAPISTWhos next? Katie?

    KATIEI have already divulged relevantdetails to this group.

    THERAPISTIs there anything else you want totell us?

    KATIEComplete tactical and strategicrecords were uploaded to the localintranet forty six days ago.

    THERAPISTI think it might be useful to getyour impressions rather than justthe data? I know you have a lot ofdrive space but you also havebiological memory. Can we hearsomething from those records?

    KATIESense data is imprecise. No validconclusions can be gained.

    THERAPISTConclusions arent important. Justtell us... what it felt like.

    Katie takes a moment to think about it.

    KATIEMy name is KT-97767125. I am thelast survivor of my world, whichwas destroyed by multiplesingularity release at twelveequidistant points across theglobe, staggered by ten minuteseach. The destruction of the planetwas enacted to deny resources to ahegemonising xenomorphic species we

    could not destroy.

    10/23

    THERAPISTThats just the data-

    KATIEIokan was unaware of these events.

    Iokan sits, still bloodshot and oblivious. Katie switchesfrom robotic to uncertain.

    KATIESense data: microgravity...weightless, floating. Spacecraft inhigh orbit.

    She struggles with words.

    KATIE

    Waiting for them to come. We...we... we... there were eight of us.We were the last defence. Could seemoon through portal.

    EXT. SPACE

    The moon hangs in space. Then a light slams into it frombehind and molten shockwaves fly around the globe, meltingthe surface as the moon shatters.

    KATIE (V.O.)The moon... detonated. Destroyed bythem. We were next in line. Wemanoeuvred to ram them.

    The viewpoint swings round to see a massive gray and yellowship gliding closer, blocking out stars. We pull out to showthis image seen through an airlock window.

    KATIEIt was vast. We played dead. Burntengines at last minute. Aimed forvulnerable point. I was by theairlock. Nothing else to do but

    wait. There was... a...

    KATIE (V.O.)I... pressed... a button. I have norecord of this incident. Sense datais inaccurate. I pressed abutton...

    Katies hand brushes a touchscreen control labelled CYCLEAIRLOCK. A hurricane of escaping air pulls the hand away.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    She clenches her teeth, brow furrowing in intenseconcentration.

    THERAPISTIf you dont feel comfortable-

    KATIEI... did not want... I did not wantto... I did not want...

    She slumps. Then straightens and looks about.

    THERAPIST

    Oh. Uh. Shit...

    She ruffles through her papers, looking for something.

    KATIEUnauthorised access. Unauthorisedaccess. Unauthorised access.

    OLIVIABloody hell, not again...

    Katie rises to her feet. Kwame bursts forward. She grabs his

    arms and he struggles to keep her from overpowering him. Lisslooks torn between helping and hiding. Pew runs to Olivia.The Therapist finds a page as Katie throws Kwame down.

    THERAPISTKT-97767125 Alpha Zulu NovemberTango reset!

    Katie stops like a machine. Then loses her balance and fallsback in her wheelchair, unconscious. Two security guardsburst in.

    THERAPISTIts okay. Its under control.

    GUARDYoure sure?

    THERAPISTIs everyone okay?

    Liss helps Kwame up.

    KWAMEIm fine, Im fine.

    The Therapist looks at her notes.

    PEWMy name is Pu Li-Un, and I am thelast survivor of my species. Not my

    world, theres still people there.

    INT. ZOO - DAY

    Pew sits, reading, in what seems like an ordinary enoughliving room - until we pull out and see the glass wall andthe little plaque saying PU. One of few remaining specimens.DO NOT TOUCH GLASS

    PEW (V.O.)Nothing bad happened, there justwerent that many of my kind in the

    first place. So they put us in azoo, to try and keep us alive. Oncethey realised how many were left.

    THERAPIST (V.O.)Im sorry, they?

    PEW (V.O.)Oh. Yes. Um, there was more thanone intelligent species on myworld. There used to be lots ofwars up until a couple of hundredyears ago, and they...

    A mother and child with canine heads wander past and point atPew, who waves with a little smile.

    PEW (V.O.)Theyre the ones who won. Nowadaystheyre really nice, they lookafter the rest of us. But therewerent many left. Then when it wasjust me, they said I could comehere. So I did.

    Iokan sits by himself while behind in the Kitchen, Lissprepares tea for everyone. Outside in the corridor, theTherapist looks in at him, disappointed, then moves on.

    Liss brings in a tray of brimming mugs. She pauses by him.

    LISSAre you sure you dont want one?

    He doesnt reply. She looks round. Then puts the tray downand takes him a mug and puts it in his hands.

    LISSItll make you feel better.

    The beaker falls - but a hand catches it at superhuman speed.

    INT. COMMON ROOM - DAY

    Iokan looks up to see Liss, arm outstretched in an awkwardposition, having caught the mug with one hand while keepingthe tray and the other mugs balanced with the other.

    LISSAh. Um.

    She stands up out of the awkward position and puts the mug ona table beside him.

    LISS

    Dont tell anyone.

    He stares back at her, amazed. She smiles nervously and turnsto go.

    Olivia stands in the door with a look of stupefied amazementon her face.

    Liss turns into a blur and grabs her before she can takeanother breath. She pushes her up the wall by her throat asthough she weighed nothing, still holding the tray in herfree hand.

    LISSDont say anything. Not a word. OrIll-

    Liss stops, guiltily catching herself from going any further.She drops Olivia to the ground. Olivia gasps for air andholds her throat. Liss heads out as Olivia coughs.

    Iokan looks down at the mug, and reaches for it.

    The mug rolls away, lapping out tea.

    Iokan rises from the floor of a clean room within the

    laboratory. He looks out of the window and sees the spilledbeaker on the floor. And three corpses lying on the ground.

    IOKAN (V.O.)I killed them.

    Iokan reaches for the door handle and steps out of the cleanroom into the laboratory.

    IOKAN (V.O.)I killed them all.

    EXT. STREET - DAY

    Iokan steps out of the lab building to find a street full ofcorpses.

    IOKAN (V.O.)I killed everyone in the world.

    INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY

    Iokan staggers forward a few steps.

    IOKAN

    He crumples and the Therapist rushes up to him.

    THERAPISTIts alright Iokan, you dont needto talk -

    Iokan looks around at them all.
