0:00:04 > 0:00:08'Aiden came up with the idea, because he was, like, the leader.'
0:00:08 > 0:00:10We split up into teams...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Bang! Bang!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15..and I shot Aiden. Christie shot me,
0:00:15 > 0:00:16and Zara shot Christie.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22'We were laughing and having fun.'
0:00:22 > 0:00:26- You killed...- Bang!- I got you!
0:00:26 > 0:00:31'Then that black car just had to spoil everything, I guess.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33'I saw it first.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And I saw Aiden's mum come out of it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Where's Jed?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I don't know. I thought he'd be here.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Watch out.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Or what?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10THEY LAUGH
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Aiden?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Dad.- Your mum's waiting.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22It's OK, leave that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Come on.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Jed, come on.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Go on.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41She could have stayed. It's only been a couple of months.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46It's her choice, pal. She thought it was time to go.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47We have to respect that.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Where's my pen?
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Oh. Jed!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Mum says you've got a new boyfriend.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I said I was working late. Jed!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Well, he works on the deli counter, but he's training for management.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- You'll have to bring him round. - Er, no!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Jed, are you coming or what?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18You've made me late now, thanks very much(!)
0:04:26 > 0:04:28He's Army, isn't he?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Huh? How did you know...?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Look, say anything to Mum and I'll...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37He's not, OK? Got that?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Is.- Not!- Is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Not!- Is.- Not!- Is.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Excuse me...- Not!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Jed!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49So what are you doing after school today?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Want to go fishing?- I don't know.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- I've got homework, so...- Yeah, well, so have I, but it's fun.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Well, Mum says get it done.- Do you always do what your mum says?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Anyway, it's not fishing, it's just sticklebacks. It's stupid.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Oi, pad rat!- Not so lippy without your mate, are you?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- His dad died fighting. - Should have been more careful.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- Pad rat!- Pad rat!- Pad rat!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12SHUT UP!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Jed! Jed, it's OK, just stop it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- So what are you going to do about it?- Want to see?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Well, come on, then! - Right, what's going on here?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Sir, she's picking on us. - No, she wasn't! She was just...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- I don't want to hear it.- I was only trying to stop them!- I said, quiet!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31You three, move on. Now.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39We miss him, too, you know.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Friends?- You're a numpty!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54CAR HORN BLARES
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Paul! Hey!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11SHE WHISTLES
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Oi, stop that!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- SHE WHISTLES - I said stop that! Did you hear me?
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Or what?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- DOG BARKING - Shut it!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21She was only whistling.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You can explain that to your dad. And he can explain it to the CO.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- DOG CONTINUES TO BARK - Shut up!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Sorry, Mr Whedon. I won't do it again. Promise.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Jed.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Jed!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Sorry. The Wheedle, he just gets to me.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Yeah, he gets to everyone.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21DOG WHINES
0:07:23 > 0:07:27What? What have you found there?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Good boy!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35'It all started to go strange when we found
0:07:35 > 0:07:38'these kind of weird graffiti.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'Mostly on danger and trespassing signs.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46'And usually in green with funny shapes and symbols.'
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Quite romantic, don't you think? - It's cold and it's wet.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It might clear up, it was nice earlier.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It's always changing.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Fancy a dip?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Huh?!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Come on, you wuss! If you want to hang with the tough guys, get tough!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I ain't got my suit.- So?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16HE LAUGHS Call that being tough?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh, Paul!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29This isn't a joke, is it? Jed?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, it wasn't me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Seriously!
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Well... The Wheedle, then?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36No.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What's that?
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Careful!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47A camera.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48What's that doing there?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I don't know.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08You signed up?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11We're OK.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You've just been out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:09:20 > 0:09:21OK!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Mr Whedon, what a pleasure(!)
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Unauthorised pets.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I beg your pardon?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Rodents, to be precise. Mind if I come in?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Who do you think's doing all this?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Kids from town? - They wouldn't come here.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Off the base?- Like who?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Where's Zara?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Zara?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Zara?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Zara!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Zara?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Zara!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Zara, come on. This isn't funny.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24She's not here.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Christie.- What?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36She was wearing this.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47HORN BLOWS
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You know what she's like.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52She's probably remembered she had ballet or something.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54She gave that up.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Only cos you wouldn't go. - Would you?!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58# La la-la la... #
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Shh!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03CHANTING
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Jed?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Jed!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I told you it'd brighten up.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37It hasn't.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It has for me.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45(Here they come.)
0:11:51 > 0:11:55CHEERING AND WHISTLING
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Oh, busted.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Have you heard from Aiden?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Well, he's probably got new friends now.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Looks like you're stuck with the old ones.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Zara?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh, hello.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14What happened to you?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Happened? Why would anything happen?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18What have you got there?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Nothing. Oh...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, yeah, just some stones I found.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Yeah, let's see.- Show and tell.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I don't know. They're not very interesting.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32So why did you pick them up?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Because they were before, but now...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37They're not?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40DOG BARKS
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Oh, Zara.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Your cardigan.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Oh, uh...
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Thank you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54See you tomorrow, yeah?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I don't know.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Not at the den.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- I don't think we should go there? - Are you OK?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I have to go. Sorry.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11The schools are pretty good. And the houses, some of them, we could...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Where've you been?- Christie's.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17MOBILE RINGS
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- What's that? - Nothing. Christie gave it me.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21"To me"!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Put your bike away, wash you hands. Supper's ready.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Where? Who?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36SHE SCREAMS
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I just felt so sorry for them.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46First day in the new house
0:13:46 > 0:13:49and we wouldn't let them in until they'd repainted it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Did you expect a welcome banner?!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Aiden's room was black and silver.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Hardly regulation colours.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Even Whedon's got to see she had other things on her mind.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02And when he did open up, he couldn't get the stuff in.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- They're from Germany, aren't they? - Welcome to the rabbit hutch.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08The houses are bigger there, aren't they?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- You remember?- No, not really.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Is that where we're going?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Who said anything about going?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I just thought if you go for a promotion or something.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23If I was, mate, it wouldn't be Germany.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Nobody's mentioned promotion. Jed, I don't know where you got that.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Bex!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Come on. It's getting cold.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I hear you went to the beach.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's not a crime, is it?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Who with?
0:14:39 > 0:14:40It sounds like you know.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Paul's a nice guy, Bex, but... - But what?!
0:14:43 > 0:14:44He's Army?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I don't see the problem.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49He works in a deli, let's get him over. He's a soldier, forget it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50You lied to us.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51What choice have I got?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's just that you're so young.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- What about you guys? You got married when you were, like, 12!- OK,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- another time. - You don't know what it's like.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's all I DO know.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Do you want missed birthdays, the Christmas phone call?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I said...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12..let's talk about it another time.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21I want them back. Get them back to me now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Zara, let's just talk about this.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25They were my friends.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- But they're Aiden's. - He GAVE them to me.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30To look after until he comes back.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33To keep.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39His auntie Joan or June is allergic to fluff.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45You know the rules.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48We've got too many pets.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Poppet?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Eh, if you gave away the goldfish...
0:15:53 > 0:15:54But they like it here!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Then you can't keep the guinea pigs.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02I'm starting to love them and they love me, too, so get them back!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09What did your dad say?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12There's not much he can say. "Sorry for being a rubbish dad"?!
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Why are we talking about your parents?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32What else could we be doing?
0:16:32 > 0:16:39Uh, we could talk about the new sound system in the motor?
0:16:39 > 0:16:46The subwoofer's pretty sweet.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Or we could try...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Owned!- Not so clever, Buddy.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Are you OK?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Go back to bed.- Do as she says.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Listen...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07we go into town and everybody's yakking.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10So it's out here by the bins.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- What do you think it means? - I don't know.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49But I intend to find out.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Jed, that's not real. - It's scary, though.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You're scary...sometimes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03What's the problem?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It won't start. The light won't even come on.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Call the helpline.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- SNAP! - What's that?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Who's there?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Jed! No! No, you shouldn't be here!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I told him you wouldn't be here.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59- He'll see you.- Who?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Zara, who's doing all this?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04All these...things, who is it?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Told me not to tell.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07You seen my mobile?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Try phoning it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Jed?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Zara?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Help!
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Jed!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Christie.- Help!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:19:57 > 0:19:58It's up there!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07It's got something to do with...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Something to do with... Sheep?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Zara, I don't care what it's called just get it off me.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15This could be tricky.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Hang on.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I said don't move!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Shut up!- This might hurt.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Better not.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So what happened here with the bucket? Was that you?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I... I helped a bit.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42He's from outer space.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I was only making it safe here cos it's dangerous.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Yeah, well, it is now.- Zara, who is? Who's from...outer space?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I guess anyone from outer space is from outer space.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Could she do this?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58They were going to come back with us,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Grenny and Shraps, back to his world.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Grenade and Shrapnel, Aiden's guinea pigs?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07He gave them to me, but now the Wheedle's taken them
0:21:07 > 0:21:10and they're not going to get to see anything.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You can get them back, Jed.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Please?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15So where are they now?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18They're in the Wheedle's office.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Zara, no, it's not going to happen. You tell her, Jed.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Jed!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Hey.- Hiya, buddy.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I know something.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47It's a secret place... nobody even knows it's there.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I just thought... About you and Bex.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You can go there.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Yeah?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well... Listen, dude, whatever you want.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Was that you, whistling?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Pfft! Never really got the hang of it, to be honest.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37Um, but I did see a little kid run off in, sort of, that direction.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Heel!
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Are these them?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Don't see any other guinea pigs.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Jed, mission objectives.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Well, I heard my dad saying something...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'm not sure, about promotion maybe.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- I thought there might be some papers.- Do they say anything?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10No, I'm still searching.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11What you doing?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Nothing.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14It's OK, let's go.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Paul.- Let's go!
0:23:17 > 0:23:18We're shipping out -
0:23:18 > 0:23:21the regiment, next week.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I heard rumours, but...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Keep this under your hat, yeah? Come on.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Let's put it down there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46OK, kids, fox food - two portions, to go.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Whoa!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Don't worry, they'll be fine.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So, how long have you been coming here?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Christie found it,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- when we were both about... - Six, seven years old?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58She was always wandering off.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00But then she moved, then I moved,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02then we met up again a couple of times.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Then back here.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- So where are these aliens? - They aren't aliens.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08There's only one of him.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And it's actually quite rude to call him an alien.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13To him, we're the aliens.
0:24:13 > 0:24:19One question - Zara's over there, that's my shadow, see?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I reckon that's Paul,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23and Christie, so...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So whose is that?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Don't turn! Whatever you do, don't turn.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's all right, he doesn't eat people normally.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Stop! Stop.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'll talk to him, just wait. Please.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's all right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52They're friends. Don't do anything.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56He says he'll come out, but don't be too frightened.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'll do my best.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Greetings.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09My name is Xan Alpha.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12We can call him Xan.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Key-ka, quang-oh?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24So... Seriously, what's your name?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29And what planet are you from?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It's not a planet, it's a moon.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36The planet's just gas.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37And it's...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39where exactly?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48So how d'you find this place?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50The ricota-graphto-plites.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Handy if you want to find things again.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I made them when I arrived.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57He means a map.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58And when was this?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I lose track of your years.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05An era I believe you refer to as the '70s.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Xan was shot down by his arch enemy.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10It's all right, we can say his name.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Kublan Jepto.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15He was chasing him...
0:26:15 > 0:26:19through the universe...through ASTRIX belts and everything.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Asteroid.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Them, too.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- PAUL: Why?- Because he had stolen something of value to my people.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29A shard from the galaxy core, it's an energy field,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31but it can be materialised.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34However, it needs to be complete.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38If we don't get it back, our entire galaxy will implode.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39And if that goes...
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Then everything goes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Well, we'd best get it back, then.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45So where is this Kublan Jepto?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Close.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So will you help him, Jed?
0:26:50 > 0:26:51With what?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Fixing his spaceship.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56What spaceship?!
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Starbus Series Two.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02With dual...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Dual-core apergesium capacitors.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07This is my ship
0:27:07 > 0:27:09and she's taking me home.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Right, OK(!)
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Jed, you should look at these.
