0:00:10 > 0:00:14The Curious. They say he collects strange tales.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17And if you ever hear his whistle, you know something creepy

0:00:17 > 0:00:19is about to unfold.

0:00:20 > 0:00:25No one knows where he's from or where he's going to

0:00:25 > 0:00:28or even if he remembers where it all started.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31How much do you trust your memories?

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Are you so sure they're real?

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Are you willing to bet your life upon them?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58DRUM ROLL

0:00:59 > 0:01:01HORN SOUNDS

0:01:05 > 0:01:09My familiars, I am Zephaniah,

0:01:09 > 0:01:15your humble guide in matters of the marvellous, acts of the astonishing,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18and displays of the death-defying.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22I have circled the globe to collect the great,

0:01:22 > 0:01:29the cute and the ugly for your amusement.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42HORN SOUNDS IN THE DISTANCE

0:01:48 > 0:01:55From the exotic wilds of Zongoa - Palooka, Nincom and Hijinx.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03From the forests of South America,

0:02:03 > 0:02:09I give you the harmonized high divers, Gudge and Puck.

0:02:17 > 0:02:23And from deepest darkest Siberia, the unimaginable might of Kid Herc.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30HE ROARS

0:02:33 > 0:02:38And finally, the rarest of them all.

0:02:40 > 0:02:47The boy wonder, the lightning in the bottle, the fragrant phenomenon.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ace, the amazing aromarologist.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Sir, stand up if you will.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Now, we've never met before, have we?

0:03:15 > 0:03:20- Nope.- So there's no way I can know anything personal about you, right?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- You can always try, kid. - Like, for instance...

0:03:25 > 0:03:28..the fact that you keep your money in your left shoe?

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Hey, Hijinx, give it back.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49APPLAUSE

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Madam, do I smell fear?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01No, sadness.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07I smell cat hair on your clothes, but not as it should be.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Your cat is very sick, isn't she? - Yes.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15She's eaten something that she shouldn't have.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Have you recently purchased an English ivy plant?- Yes!

0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Shh!- This is what's making her ill.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28But don't worry. When you get home, just remove the plant and you'll see

0:04:28 > 0:04:30she's her old self in no time.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Let's keep away from the boundary, shall we?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15That may have been your finest performance yet.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Did you see how enchanted they were by your gift?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24And do you know what I have found in this town?

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Don't pretend you didn't smell it already.- Peanut brittle.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- I knew before you walked up. - Thank you.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50HORN SOUNDS

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Hurry up! Zephaniah's calling.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01- You're late.- It'll be nothing. - What if it's a new arrival?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03No way. From this town?

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Hey, sniff boy.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Want know what I smell? Your lateness.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Get moving, buddy.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Boss wants to talk to us and you NOSE who's in charge, right, boys?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Why aren't you this funny on stage?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Guys, quiet down. You, shut up. You, shut up.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- You...- Thank you, Palooka. I can take it from here.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Apologies for the late hour, but this just couldn't wait.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Another castaway has come to us.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Like you, rejected because she couldn't fit in.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Like you, she will make this her home.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Here she is now.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05What is your name, wanderer?

0:08:07 > 0:08:13- Indigo.- Welcome, Indigo. There's no need to fear.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16From now, you will feel no rejection.

0:08:16 > 0:08:22What others call an oddity we call a gift.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Welcome.- I'll show her the ropes, boss.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Starting with the boundary.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36There will be plenty of time for that later.

0:08:36 > 0:08:42Meanwhile, you must be hungry. Ace, would you do the honours?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43Sure. Come on.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Where did you come from?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50A small town not too far from here.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57- I didn't fit in.- What was the name of the town?- Hillsville.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Wait, no, it was Hollingsville, it was Hollingsville.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06How far did you walk to get here? What route did you take?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Always with the same questions.- Enough.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47DISCORDANT VOICES: Ace!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Help!

0:10:41 > 0:10:43HE SNIFFS

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Help!

0:10:50 > 0:10:52BANGING

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Help!

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Indigo?- Help!

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Help!

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Help!

0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Hey. Hey. It's OK.- I can't get...

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I can't get out.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Help!- It's OK!

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Close your eyes.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- No, no.- Trust me. The mirrors play tricks on you.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Don't use your eyes. Use your hands.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40I'm here.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Give me your hand.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51See? It's just a wall.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Like any other.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Now just follow me out. - Thank you.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I was exploring and I got lost.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09I don't know why I got so panicked.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11We're all like that when we first arrive.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Those clowns said that if I stayed I'd have to perform,

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- but I don't have any talents. - Yes, you do.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Zephaniah wouldn't have allowed you to stay if you didn't.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28It'll come to you. It was the same for all of us.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31None of us know why we can do what we do, we just can.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35So, you're all outcasts like me.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39This is where you come when you don't fit anywhere else.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42I fit, I just...

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I just never had any family.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Where you from? That's OK.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52I, er...

0:12:53 > 0:12:55What, you don't know?

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Of course I do.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59It just...

0:13:00 > 0:13:02..gets hazy sometimes.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05What do you mean?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Hey, what do you think you're doing?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- What is all that?- None of your business.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Who are all those people?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Why won't you tell me?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Zephaniah can't know about this.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Hey, trust me.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27That's what you told me, right?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34The people in those photos...

0:13:35 > 0:13:38They're families who have visited the circus.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39I collect them.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Sometimes I... I pretend I'm one of them.

0:13:48 > 0:13:55But I started having these dreams, images of the outside world.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Places, things, people.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00You've dreamt of your family?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I think my memories of where I'm from are false.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07I think my dreams are my real memories, Indigo.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12And they've been getting stronger, and the stronger they get,

0:14:12 > 0:14:14the more I feel like...

0:14:14 > 0:14:15What?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19..everything I know is a lie.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Does that go for all of us?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Is that why my memories are so hazy?

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Does that scare you?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44I could have a family out there.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48This tree... I like this picture.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01Thank you for believing me.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16I do hope you're settling in.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31DRUMROLL

0:15:31 > 0:15:36My familiars, this day we have been rewarded with a new addition.

0:15:36 > 0:15:43A modern marvel from the dusty plains of the Midwest, presenting...

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Indigo!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49CROWD APPLAUD

0:15:49 > 0:15:51CIRCUS THEME PLAYS

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Hey, hey. When you walk onto that stage

0:16:06 > 0:16:09it's like the whole world disappears.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12You'll know what to do. Trust me.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19She's shy, ladies and gentlemen,

0:16:19 > 0:16:21and in here you can hear a pin drop.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Let's give her a thunderous round of applause.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Presenting...

0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's for luck.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33..the one, the only...

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Indigo!

0:16:35 > 0:16:38THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE

0:17:32 > 0:17:34You got this.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Bravo.- You knocked them out, Indigo.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Make way, Ace, we have a new star on the show.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04So how did it feel up there on stage?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Like I was free.- See?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10This is why we're here.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Something the matter, Ace?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Nothing. Just...

0:19:16 > 0:19:19You say it like we choose to be here.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Like we could leave.- You mean the boundary?

0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Just know that's for...- Our protection. Yeah, I know.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27But don't you ever wonder what's on the other side of it?

0:19:27 > 0:19:31We've all been on the other side of it before we came here.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33It just wasn't for any of us.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38And how did you get here, Gudge?

0:19:38 > 0:19:41I've told you a million times, by train.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Describe it.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46The train, describe it in detail.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47It was a cattle train.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Slow mover. We shared a car with 12 cows.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Name your aunts and uncles, Puck.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56The ones you left behind.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59TOGETHER: That's easy.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02You can't do it, can you?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05We don't want to talk about them.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Describe the street that you lived on before you came here.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09It was so long ago, I...

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Was it in the city? Was it by the sea?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Did it have trees on it?

0:20:13 > 0:20:14You must remember that.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Ace.- Don't you ever think about it?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18The outside world where we came from?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- No.- Yeah, past is past.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23ZEPHANIAH: That's right, Ace.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27This is our family now.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Exquisite performance, my dear.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34You make a wonderful addition to our clan.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you Indigo the Flying Sprite!

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Now, we all need our beauty sleep.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Some of us more than others.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Let's go.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53You did great, Indigo.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Indigo.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12I see you've been making new friends.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15Good night.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24HE SNIFFS

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Good.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Realistic.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36What do you mean?

0:21:45 > 0:21:47This is it.

0:21:48 > 0:21:49This is where I'm from.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54My real home. It's the water tower I've seen in my dreams.

0:21:57 > 0:21:58I've got to go.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14You truly are an enigma.

0:22:16 > 0:22:17I know the truth.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Our memories are fake.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22My home, the one you stole me from.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25That water tower, I've seen it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Night after night in my dreams.

0:22:29 > 0:22:30It's where they are.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Who?- My real family.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35What nonsense is this?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37You took me from them.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Faked my arrival.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Kept me locked up here.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Locked up? You are free to roam, my dear boy.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46The purple circle.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48For your own protection.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50To keep others out.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55You really think that I would steal someone from their own home?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Yes. I do.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01My dear boy, nothing in this world would give me greater pleasure

0:23:01 > 0:23:04than for you to be accepted by your loved ones,

0:23:04 > 0:23:06but remember you came to me.

0:23:08 > 0:23:16You sought refuge when you were rejected for who you are.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17I gave you a home.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21We... We are your family.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Liar.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26That's where they live.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Where I should be.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Are you certain about this?

0:23:35 > 0:23:36Yes.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44Then come morning, with the help of this drawing, I will take you there.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52But remember this - a dream dashed is worse than no dream at all.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Are you sure you want to do this?

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Look - that house and the letterbox, it's all the same.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Zephaniah's my family.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20The truth is still out there waiting to be found.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22We just have to know where to look for it.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Looking for this?

0:24:25 > 0:24:31Behold the consequences for those who break the rules.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Treason!
