Yeah, I don't know what they're playing at at logistics, honestly.
I mean, I'm good with time.

Oh, my God. I sound all washed up.
Oh, are those the...? Yeah, magic truffles.
Grown by my own fair hand.
I don't approve, but there you go. They're not for me.
And that's what I don't approve of.
You don't have to buy drugs for a boy just to talk to him.
You're being mean now,

I'm telling you, it's not a solid basis for a relationship.
Says the guy selling discounted drugs

Just kidding.
It's a little bit true, though.

Yeah, he was... He was going off when I left, so...
It's not your responsibility to police your mum's life.

Why did we split last summer?
Why?
I miss you, Charlie.

I miss you.
Look, I miss you too. But we got on each other's nerves, remember?
And then we came up with this being friends thing,
which is the worst of both worlds.
Ohhhh!
But, but I hated us in the past.
Like, it wasn't healthy, was it? We were, we were, we were dicks.
Well, speak for yourself.
I feel like I was... I was pretty all right, I think.

This is torture for you, isn't it?
I don't really... I don't really like this.
Can I ask her out?
What, Finn?
No, not Finn. Why Finn?
I saw you chatting to her. You cheeky boy.
No. I barely know her.
And more to the point, mate, she barely knows you.
Which is an advantage.
No, Kelly.
Kelly?
Yeah, Kelly.
It's your call, mate. She's, she's a free agent, innit?
What, so there's no ties between you two?
We're just best buds. You do what you want.
Well, in that case...
Indoor fireworks.
Yeah?
Let's liven up this place.
You two went out together, right?
There's a law, isn't there, a time limit? Yeah, a dating law.
What dating laws? I saw it online somewhere. It's a book or something.
Ah, you've been watching that pimpy creep bloke
with the mirror shades and the Bugattis, haven't you?
He says some smart stuff.
Oh, what, so you know what masculinity is, yeah?
Well, I've got a good idea. Well, what it isn't is clips on TikTok.

Kafferton? That's supposed to be shut down, isn't it?
It's shutting down, like everything else.
I want you to oversee the clean-up operation.
Something nasty. There's already been casualties.
How many? The driver, and six at a local care home.
What was on the truck? We don't know.
I want you to control the flow of information from that town
till we work out what we're dealing with.
I'll send what I find out once you get there.
OK. Do this well, it could be good for you.
That's not what I'm thinking about.

So, where do you plan to start?
Well, in the next few hours
we'll be monitoring the town's communications,
the internet, landline and cellular calls.
And then we start seeding the cover stories.
That's not usual procedure.
This truck has come from the secure labs at Kafferton.

All my biases are rugby-based.
So, what is this? Salvepuerian?
I never heard of it before today. But it is tagged as inert.
What happened in the care home didn't look very inert.
Our patrols are out searching for the missing residents.
Well, we'd better hope that your troops pick up
the remaining stragglers, then.
How far could they get?
Is it working? Yeah. Right.
