2:15
sure thing. Hey, you sold that car
2:17
yet? Yeah, sold it to Carvana. Oh,
2:20
I thought you were selling to that guy.
2:22
The guy who wanted to pay me in
2:24
foreign currency, no interest over 36
2:26
months? Yeah, no. Carvana gave me
2:28
an offer in minutes, picked it
2:30
up, and paid me on the

spot. It was so convenient. Just
2:35
like that. Yeah? No hassle. None.

Quill presents The

Magnus Protocol Episode
3:45

3:47
Compartmentalising Protocol
4:43
Touch it! This is a crime
4:46
scene now. Someone shoved... Someone's severed
4:48
hand into the server, so we
4:50
need to phone the police. Right
4:53
now. It's calling. It's him, I
4:55
know it is. No, you don't.
4:57
It could be anyone's severed hand.
5:00
There's no blood. What? There's no
5:02
blood. Not on his hand, his
5:05
phone? The entire server rack is
5:07
clean. So whoever did it cleaned
5:09
up after themselves? Even more reason
5:12
to call the police. They have
5:14
all kinds of DNA tests and
5:16
for rent- Will you just look,
5:19
Gwen? I am looking. There's cables
5:21
running through it and it looks
5:24
like it's attached right to the
5:26
electrics. How is it even still
5:28
working? That wasn't just shoved in
5:31
there by someone. It looks more
5:33
like it came from inside the
5:35
system. Alice, stop. Please. I'm going
5:38
to call the police now. I'm
5:40
going to call the police and
5:42
tell them what we found. And
5:45
you're not going to mention your
5:47
wild theory. Gwen, we need to
5:50
call Lena. Well, Lena isn't here,
5:52
so... Uh, Gwen, you might want
5:54
to hold off on that phone
5:57
call. Alice, for God's sake. It's
5:59
gotten. What is? The hand? When
6:01
did that happen? I don't
6:04
know, just now. I turned
6:06
to look at you and
6:08
then when I looked back
6:10
it was just gone. Don't
6:12
be ridiculous. It can't just
6:15
be gone. You must have
6:17
just... I don't think the
6:19
police can help with
6:21
this. Then what exactly
6:23
do you propose? We
6:25
call Lena. I am
6:27
in charge. Are you?
6:29
It's been one night.
6:32
One night. And sound's
6:34
gone. And Lena's gone.
6:36
And Colin's been eaten
6:38
by the computer or
6:40
something. Don't say that.
6:42
That's not what happened.
6:45
Then what did happen?
6:47
Hmm? I don't. What's
6:49
that? Sounded like a
6:51
beep. What I meant is...
6:53
Gwen. I see it. Open
6:56
it, Alice. You open it?
6:58
You're being foolish. If it
7:00
can do that to Colin,
7:03
it can open its
7:05
own dumb cases.
7:07
For goodness sake.

9:49
Freddy killed Colin.
9:51
It killed him.
9:53
It definitely sounds
9:55
like the system
9:57
was provoked. Don't
9:59
you do that.
10:01
don't you dare do that
10:03
it murdered him
10:05
I just meant
10:08
that I don't
10:10
think we're in
10:13
any danger as
10:15
long as we
10:17
don't antagonize it
10:20
so what we're
10:22
hostages now no
10:24
no I'm sure we
10:26
can leave What happened
10:28
to you being in charge?
10:31
I am in charge and now
10:33
we've established there is no further
10:35
risk to staff and that a
10:37
police response would be Inappropriate. I
10:39
think it would be best if
10:42
we take a moment to To
10:44
assess the situation and Gwen where
10:46
is Lena? I really don't know how
10:48
much clearer I can be the
10:50
minister decided to have her replaced
10:52
and gave me the job. What
10:55
just like that? No exit
10:57
interview. No handover. Just like
10:59
that. Now Alice, I need
11:01
you to please explain to
11:03
me again what you meant
11:05
when you said Sam was
11:07
gone. Is he dead? No! At
11:09
least, Celia doesn't seem to
11:11
think so. And what does
11:14
Celia know about this? Where
11:16
is she? I told you
11:18
she's gone home. She was there
11:20
when it happened. She saw Sam
11:22
fall into... Well, I don't know
11:24
what it is. Celia said it
11:26
was a tear, if that means
11:28
anything. He was fighting the archivist
11:30
and then they must have... Enough!
11:32
Enough! Obviously we need to bring
11:35
Celia back in. Jog on! Look,
11:37
I know everyone has been through a
11:39
lot, but it's clear to me
11:41
that none of us is operating
11:43
with complete information at the moment.
11:45
So if it really is, just
11:47
three of us left, then... We
11:49
need to put our heads together
11:51
and get on the same page
11:53
as soon as possible and that
11:55
starts with Celia telling me her
11:57
account of things. Fine.
12:00
Whatever. Excellent. With any
12:02
luck, we'll find Sam and
12:04
be back up and running in
12:06
no time. up and running in no time.
12:08
Wait for me! me! Hello?
12:39
Hello? I
12:43
need to see you. I
13:01
need help. I
13:05
need help.
13:08
I need help. Get
13:11
away from
13:13
me. Shhh!
13:37
It's okay, Jack.
13:40
It's okay. I
13:42
know. Mummy's
13:44
here. You
13:48
don't need to worry about
13:50
Mummy going away. Not
13:52
anymore. I'm
13:54
not going anywhere. I
13:57
promise. It's
14:00
over now and
14:03
Sam... Sam will
14:06
be okay. Mommy
14:09
was okay, so
14:12
he will be
14:14
too. Everything is
14:17
going to be...
14:40
I'm sorry, but you've
14:42
got to come in.
14:44
Gwen... I just got Jack
14:47
to sleep. Come in. You've
14:49
got to come back to
14:52
the office. Now, it's... it's
14:54
all screwed up. Colin's
14:57
dead and Lena's gone
14:59
and Gwen says she's
15:01
in charge, but that
15:03
can't be right because
15:06
she has no idea
15:08
what's going on. Colin's
15:11
dead. Yeah, we think
15:14
Freddie killed him. Freddie,
15:16
as in... The case
15:18
system, yeah. I don't... He
15:20
was chopped up inside the...
15:22
the computer and... and it's
15:24
all a mess. I don't
15:26
know what to do. You
15:28
need to get back to
15:30
the office. No, I don't,
15:32
Alice. And neither to
15:34
you. What you're saying?
15:36
We can choose not
15:38
to get involved. The
15:41
OIAR is a government
15:43
department, right? Sounds like
15:45
a problem for the
15:47
government. What? No, that's
15:49
not... What about Sam? Sam's
15:51
gone. Alice. You keep saying
15:54
that, and it still doesn't
15:56
mean anything. Where's he gone?
16:00
I don't know. Not exactly.
16:02
That thing in the basement,
16:04
the tear, I think it
16:07
leads to somewhere else. Meaning
16:09
another world or dimension or
16:11
something. And how exactly do
16:13
you know that? I recognise
16:16
it from a case. Right.
16:18
In that case... I'm going
16:20
in after him, but yeah,
16:23
we'll tie a rope to
16:25
my waist and I'll go
16:27
find... Say who? Look, we
16:30
don't know what'll happen. Even
16:32
assuming you both survived, how
16:34
do we know you'll even
16:36
end up in the same
16:39
place? And what do we
16:41
do? Because we are going
16:43
to do something, you're the
16:46
reason Sam was there in
16:48
the first place, and you
16:50
owe it to us to
16:52
help get him back. Let
16:56
me settle him back down
16:58
and I'll call my babysitter.
17:01
Good. Thank you. Come on,
17:03
maybe. Come on. Amis here?
17:05
No. Really? It's Gwen. Yeah,
17:08
she's coming, just sorting some
17:10
stuff out. Well, hurry up
17:13
and get back here. What's
17:15
wrong? Not feeling so in
17:18
charge now you're alone in
17:20
the office with a killer
17:23
computer. It's using the photocopier.
17:25
What do you mean it's
17:28
using the photocopier? It's printing
17:30
his face. Colin's face. Over
17:32
and over. It won't stop.
17:35
I tried pulling the plug,
17:37
but it's still going. Oh,
17:40
God. He'd hate that. He
17:42
always wanted us to go
17:45
paperless. Alice, how can you
17:47
joke at a time like
17:50
this? A man is dead.
17:52
Oh, because right now it's
17:54
last... or cry and at
17:57
least I know Colin would
17:59
have found that funny. Whatever,
18:02
just hurry up. We'll be
18:04
there to change in Nappy
18:07
just as soon as we finish with
18:09
Jacks. Alice? Just don't open any
18:11
email attachments until we get there.
18:13
Alice don't you dare hang on! Leave
18:31
me alone! I
18:40
need to get of here! Don't!
19:12
Did you get in here? I don't...
19:14
Never might, you can tell us later.
19:17
So now we need to deal with
19:19
those nasty facets on your trail. I
19:21
need your help. Yeah, I heard you
19:24
the first time, but can you whistle?
19:26
Just shoot them. Wouldn't do much good
19:28
though, got you sent now. So unless
19:31
you want to stay here and
19:33
get messed up, nice and proper
19:35
by your new mates, you better
19:37
start whistling something bloody cheerful.
19:39
Nice and loud now.
19:42
Come on. Christ alive!
19:44
Look, something cheery, something
19:47
nice right now! Look,
20:01
come on, quick smart.
20:03
Don't stop whistling. Nice
20:06
and loud now. Um,
20:08
everything is in the
20:10
usual place, and I
20:12
just put Jack back
20:14
down to sleep, so
20:16
he should stay down
20:18
right through to the
20:20
morning. Not a problem
20:22
if he doesn't. I'll
20:24
be up either way.
20:26
You're a godsend. I
20:28
know. So, go on
20:30
then. What counts as
20:32
an emergency at a
20:34
government date or entry
20:36
job? Did a spreadsheet
20:38
catch fire. There's something
20:40
like that. Listen, Georgie,
20:42
I know I've been
20:44
calling you a lot
20:47
lately. Which is fine.
20:49
But I just want
20:51
you to know, I
20:53
think things are looking
20:55
up. All going well,
20:57
this should be the
20:59
last zero notice call
21:01
out. We'll see. Cabs
21:03
here. A cab? Wow,
21:05
must be urgent. Thanks
21:07
again, Georgie. Any issues?
21:09
Just call me. Away
21:11
with you. Auntie Georgie's
21:13
got everything in hand
21:15
here. Is
21:38
this necessary? Can you at
21:41
least tell me where I
21:43
am? Shut up. I want
21:46
to say to sit up.
21:48
I said shut up. Captain
21:51
should be here soon. And
21:53
they'll explain? They'll decide what
21:56
to do with you. Right.
21:58
Can I please slide down?
22:01
I don't know him. Captain?
22:03
Dave? Report? Got some weird
22:06
readings near the centre of
22:08
the mile. Me and Heidi
22:11
went to check it out.
22:13
Found this. Human? God's sake.
22:15
Dark reckons so. He's in
22:18
a bad way, though. Well,
22:20
nourishment, apparently. Doc wants him
22:23
on a drip, but I
22:25
told him you need to
22:28
give the OK. Thanks Dave.
22:30
I'll take it from here.
22:33
See if you can find
22:35
where he got in. There
22:38
wasn't a breach alert, so
22:40
if we have a gap,
22:43
I want to know about
22:45
it. I'll be fine. Sure
22:48
thing, Captain. I'll leave someone
22:50
outside, just in case. Fine.
22:52
I'm not sure we've got
22:55
any left. What? Where am
22:57
I? Name. Samama. Hollis. Right.
23:00
Samama. So Sam. Sam. You're
23:02
in a warden facility on
23:05
the edge of the London
23:07
exclusion zone. How did I
23:10
get here? And what I
23:12
hear? You got a riding
23:15
Gertrude. Should be honored. She's
23:17
the longest surviving vehicle we've
23:20
had. As for how you
23:22
got right into the middle
23:24
of the square mile without
23:27
anyone noticing, that's something I
23:29
want you to tell me.
23:32
That wasn't London. That was
23:34
a nightmare. Hmm. You were
23:37
dreamer, Sam. Cultist? Possessed by
23:39
some talking wood nidal? You've
23:42
seen it all before. I
23:44
work for civil service. I
23:47
stand corrected. So was that
23:49
your domain? Some Kafka bureaucracy
23:52
thing. Not one of the
23:54
bigger ones, but it would
23:57
make sense I don't I
23:59
was Sam?
24:08
Sam, stay with me. Why
24:10
did you break into the zone? I
24:12
should have... Look
24:17
nice. Sam?
24:34
have blacked out or something because
24:36
when I looked back they were
24:39
both gone and you're certain that
24:41
this is some sort of portal
24:43
that they weren't just
24:45
don't disintegrated I swear
24:47
pretty sure though I'm not
24:50
sure portal is the right word
24:52
may I ask why licensing issues
24:54
Alice please portal makes it sound
24:57
like it's just a door between
24:59
two places this is more complicated
25:01
We don't know how many places
25:04
it might lead to. Which is
25:06
why you don't advise attempting a
25:08
rescue. I don't think we can
25:10
be sure we'll end up where
25:13
he was. And even if we
25:15
did, it might be impossible to
25:17
get back. This is bullshit. How
25:19
sure are you of this, Celia?
25:21
I've processed a decent number of
25:23
cases like this over the last
25:25
few months. They were all pretty
25:27
consistent. Then I'm inclined
25:29
to believe them. All right?
25:31
Given all I've heard here, I'm
25:34
making an executive decision to prohibit
25:36
direct interaction with the phenomena below
25:38
the hilltop centre until we have
25:41
more information. Too bad you're
25:43
not in charge. Alice, I understand
25:45
that Lena's departure may have been
25:47
more abrupt than you expected, but
25:49
my promotion has already been officially
25:51
ratified. You should have an email
25:53
from the ministerial aid waiting in
25:56
your inbox with the details. To
25:58
put it simply, I'm your... Boss
26:00
now, whether you like it or
26:02
not. Oh, how convenient, that
26:04
your only proof is sat in
26:06
an inbox I can't read
26:08
in case it tries to eat
26:10
me. It did not eat
26:12
Colin. The system just responded to
26:14
an attack. By eating Colin.
26:16
I'm sure that as long as
26:18
we don't follow in his
26:20
footsteps we can maintain business as
26:22
usual. Gwen, this is serious.
26:25
I don't think business as usual
26:27
is gonna cut it. Can
26:29
you contact anyone more senior? The
26:31
minister is... A useless sack
26:33
of skin? Very busy. And even
26:35
if I were to raise
26:37
this, I doubt he could be
26:39
much help. I'd be jeopardising
26:41
this office for nothing. Jeopardising your
26:43
pay rise maybe? Colin's dead,
26:45
Sam's gone and your grand plan
26:47
is to what? Keep calm
26:49
and carry on. It's essential that
26:51
we understand what happened to
26:53
Sam and what's going on with
26:55
the system before we take
26:57
any action. I just think it
26:59
would be better if we
27:02
kept such investigations off the books,
27:04
as it were. That
27:06
makes sense. Naturally,
27:09
neither I nor the OIAR accept
27:11
liability for your safety in these
27:14
investigations since they are not part
27:16
of your official work duties. That
27:18
said, I will, of course, understand
27:20
if you both wish to leave.
27:22
I'll even add a competitive severance
27:24
package which I think is more
27:26
than generous given the circumstances. Piss
27:28
off. We'll stay it. I...
27:31
Celia, please. We've got
27:33
to get him back.
27:38
OK. Thank you.
27:42
Right. Well, in that case, if there's
27:44
nothing else, I believe you both
27:46
have an extensive backlog to be getting
27:48
on with. Meaning all your case
27:51
is right. Partially.
27:53
Now, if you don't mind,
27:55
I am very busy. Oh,
27:59
and... Alice, I expect
28:01
you to show me a
28:03
little more respect moving
28:06
forward. I am your manager,
28:09
after all. Then,
28:11
respectfully, you can kiss
28:14
my... Just finishing sector
28:16
11 now. No breaches
28:18
in or out. All
28:20
seems solid, over. Yeah,
28:22
nothing over in seven either.
28:24
How the hell did you
28:27
get in? Peeps
28:30
me. Moving
28:32
on to 12.
28:35
Still here then.
28:38
Wait. You're
28:40
still running?
28:43
Oh shit.
28:46
You're still
28:48
running? Oh
28:51
shit. You're
28:54
recording me. Beaty camera
28:56
eyes pushing ever nearer,
28:59
scanning for a slip,
29:02
a shudder, a crack
29:04
in the facade, to show that
29:06
I was weak, that I trembled,
29:08
that I was afraid. They watched
29:10
me every second of every minute
29:13
of every hour, of every day,
29:15
of every week, of every month,
29:18
of every year, of every eternity
29:20
that was no time at all.
29:22
And above it all the thing
29:25
for which the cameras danced. The
29:27
great and terrible eye that watched
29:30
it all. It came for me
29:32
when I was watching as well.
29:34
Working security, walking the halls,
29:36
watching the portraits as they
29:38
watched me back, like I
29:40
was trained. Police. Not long,
29:43
a couple of months. Bad
29:45
culture fit, they said, but
29:47
that was okay. Always another
29:49
job for a watcher. The
29:51
punters came and stared and
29:53
gaut and... I've watched them
29:56
in turn. Sat in the
29:58
corner of a gallery. through
30:00
pixelated camera eyes. I liked
30:02
it. I felt powerful. We
30:04
had all heard of the
30:06
Magnus Institute, the weirdos next
30:08
door, that grand old building
30:11
where people took their ghosts
30:13
and their stories and got
30:15
nightmares in return. Pasty academics
30:17
and shifty-looking bookworms that never
30:19
looked you in the eye.
30:21
Then one day, it was
30:24
gone. It was all gone.
30:26
The world and the people
30:28
and London and you and
30:30
all that was left was
30:32
the watching and the institute
30:34
towering over everything. Then the
30:36
cameras turned on me, long
30:39
metal legs sharp and scraping
30:41
as they chased me through
30:43
the streets, they clambered over
30:45
empty buildings, crawled through broken
30:47
windows and pushed their way
30:49
up through rusted sewer grates,
30:51
always searching for me, always
30:54
staring at me, Closer, focused,
30:56
hungry. Their lenses were cracked
30:58
and shattered, but it didn't
31:00
matter. If they caught you,
31:02
cornered you, pinned you with
31:04
their razor tripod legs, then
31:07
those lenses would open, cracked
31:09
glass blossoming like iris leach
31:11
jaws, and they would cut
31:13
you with their jagged edges,
31:15
and as you bled. as
31:17
you screamed and cried and
31:19
begged, they did not drink
31:22
you. They did not eat
31:24
you. They watched. They watched
31:26
and watched and watched your
31:28
crimson fear as it trickled
31:30
down to the floor. Bloodshot
31:32
eyes behind broken lenses. Sometimes
31:35
you could hide the corner
31:37
of a darkened flat, halfway
31:39
up a long, quiet tower
31:41
block. under the stinking cardboard
31:43
at the end of a
31:45
blind alley, in the basement
31:47
of a silent shop, among
31:50
the plastic reminders of a
31:52
time when joy existed. you
31:54
would still hear the camera
31:56
searching for you? Skittering, scratching,
31:58
panning left to right as
32:00
they sniffed you out. Hiding
32:02
was no relief, just a
32:05
different sort of terror. The
32:07
lingering sickness of anticipation building
32:09
to the sharp peak of
32:11
panic as you heard the
32:13
worrying of their zoom in
32:15
the shadows. And then, you
32:18
were running once again. I
32:20
wasn't alone, but it didn't
32:22
matter. The streets were empty
32:24
and the other poor lost
32:26
souls of London were only
32:28
there to run, to cry,
32:30
to bleed, to fear. If
32:33
you found another, a fellow
32:35
victim of the scrutiny, there
32:37
was a moment of hope.
32:39
But it was the bitter
32:41
hope that you might trip
32:43
them, shove them, cry out
32:45
and reveal their hiding spot,
32:48
feed them to the cameras
32:50
so that you might have
32:52
a minute, a second, an
32:54
instant of peace. tainted by
32:56
guilt. I used to see
32:58
them in my dreams, those
33:01
others who fled with me.
33:03
I knew their faces and
33:05
we ran together in our
33:07
sleep long after the nightmare
33:09
ended, but I did not
33:11
search for them, did not
33:13
embrace it, and eventually the
33:16
dreams faded. But the scars
33:18
didn't. Not when the tower
33:20
fell and the eye closed.
33:22
Not when the pupil collapsed
33:24
and the archivist died, his
33:26
face still burned into my
33:29
mind. Not when I picked
33:31
myself up in a cracked
33:33
but unbroken world. Not when
33:35
people started to use words
33:37
like recover, rebuild, or renew.
33:39
The scars carved into me
33:41
by those hungry cameras still
33:44
stood stark. I couldn't move
33:46
on. Couldn't leave it behind.
33:48
No previous words from pompous
33:50
shrinks could help me. Their
33:52
eyes were as hollow and
33:54
dirt as mine. Not that
33:56
I could bear to look
33:59
at them. So
34:01
I came here. If
34:03
I cannot escape, then
34:06
neither can they. I
34:09
would keep the lingering
34:11
things of dread contained
34:14
and be the watcher
34:16
once more. But now,
34:19
I know it was
34:21
for nothing. I know
34:24
this feeling. I know
34:26
what it is to
34:29
be watched, judged, scrutinized,
34:31
to have your terror
34:34
rung from you like
34:36
water from a dirty
34:39
rag, leaving you twisted
34:41
and dry and empty.
34:44
I cannot stop you,
34:47
and I know that
34:49
this is the end,
34:52
but with the last
34:54
of me, off my
34:57
fear, you can take
34:59
my hate, my loathing.
35:02
This place is not.
35:04
For you, there is
35:07
no place left for
35:09
monsters. We will be
35:12
your tent and I.
