0:00:04 > 0:00:07They say he collects strange tales...

0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and if you ever hear his whistle,

0:00:09 > 0:00:12you know something creepy is about to unfold.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18No-one knows where he's from, or where he's going to,

0:00:18 > 0:00:19or if he has a family.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24Are these tales drawing him away from home...

0:00:25 > 0:00:28..or bringing him closer to one?

0:00:28 > 0:00:32Have you ever wondered what your parents were like at your age?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35What if you had the chance to meet them?

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Do you think you'd be friends?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- KNOCKING - Vincent?

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Vincent, we're here.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Can we call Mum, tell her we're here?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02She sent us away. She can call us.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04She never sent us away.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Andrew Jablonowski!

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Oh, I never thought I'd see my big brother back at Bundanoon.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Look at you! Look at you!

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Oh, you got big, Vinny.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Er, Vincent. He's too old for nicknames.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23Too old for nicknames?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I bet your mum still calls you Vinny.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Come on, let's get you inside.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Right, I'll go and get the kettle on.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh, look how tall you are!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Can't get over what a handsome little gent he's grown into.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Gets his height from his mother's side.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41That's pure Sophie, that.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I appreciate this.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- You putting us up.- Don't be stupid.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Well, it won't be forever.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Good. Does that mean you'll finally get over yourself,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54call your wife and sort this nonsense out?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57It means that I'll be finding my own place.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58A new home.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Hey? AJ?

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I'm fine.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Auntie Jean?- Hey.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- You get a good look around?- Mm-hm.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's nice.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Your dad and I grew up here, you know?

0:02:33 > 0:02:34It's such a weird place.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Your dad couldn't wait to leave.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Took off as soon as he was old enough, but me, I...

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'd miss it too much.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Why don't you go and explore?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Go on. I'll make us some lunch.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13EERIE WHOOSHING

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Vincent, you stay away from that well!

0:03:18 > 0:03:19If you go near there again,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21you will be banned from the g-garden.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Do you understand?- Hey! Don't shout at him.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I told him to go and explore.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I've not heard that stammer for a long time,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36which means he's stressed. Don't be too hard on him.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45When your dad was younger, he had a best friend...

0:03:45 > 0:03:46..a boy called Red.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Red disappeared down that well.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56From then on, everything just seemed to unravel for your dad.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Got really weird around here.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38CREAKING

0:04:51 > 0:04:54DOOR CREAKS

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Whoa!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Whoa.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06Weird.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18VOICES IN DISTANCE

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Fire, fire, fire. He's going to do it. Fire, come on!

0:06:22 > 0:06:24No, don't distract me.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- There's too many of them.- Hello?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Come on, you can do it.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Easy, easy...- Careful, AJ.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Don't make me say it twice, young lady.

0:06:32 > 0:06:37Mum, AJ's getting close to hitting the highest score on Asteroids ever!

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Bath, now!

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Sorry, AJ.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Who are you?- Sorry, sorry.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58I got lost, and, erm...

0:06:59 > 0:07:00..I somehow ended up in...

0:07:04 > 0:07:06..your cellar.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08How'd you end up in the cellar?

0:07:13 > 0:07:14What does AJ stand for?

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Andrew Jablonowski. P-p-pleased to meet ya.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Who was that girl?- My sister.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26That's Jean, ignore her.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Are y-you OK?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34This isn't next door.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36This is Bundanoon.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Yeah...

0:07:40 > 0:07:421985?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46W-wait, where are you going?

0:08:14 > 0:08:15You OK, sweetheart?

0:08:18 > 0:08:19I didn't sleep so well.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Auntie Jean...- Mm?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27You ever noticed anything weird about the cellar?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, well, I don't like to go down there.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Why?

0:08:32 > 0:08:33No reason.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Hey, make yourself useful today, will ya?

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Put your stuff away...

0:08:40 > 0:08:42..and no more games.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Try and get some fresh air, too. I don't understand you kids.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47When I was your age, we were always outside.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Where'd it go?

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- COMPUTER GAME BEEPS - OK, you can do this.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24You know what to do, so just take it steady.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Oh, hey. You're back. Oh, cramp! I've got a cramp in my leg.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Grab the joystick!

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Joystick?

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Oh, the controller.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42- One button?- How many do you need?

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Fire!

0:09:48 > 0:09:51That's it. That's it!

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Hey, you're pretty good at this.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58- You play Asteroids? - Nope, first time.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03How long have you been playing?

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Since ten last night.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06I had to wait for my parents to finish watching Dallas.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10What's the record score?

0:10:10 > 0:10:1341,336,440.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Kid stayed awake for two nights to get it.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Almost killed him.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Oh, man.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Sorry.- No probs.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Got my whole life to beat it.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29You want to go outside?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Outside?

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Why?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Come on, I'll show you my Star Wars collection.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52You like Star Wars too?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55D-doesn't everyone?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Who's your favourite character?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Mine's Han Solo.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Yeah, wait till you see what happens to him in the latest one.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04Latest what?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09So, Asteroids.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I didn't know you played games.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13I mean, you seem kind of good at it.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm going to b-beat the world record if it kills me!

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Why's it so important?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21II don't stammer when I play it.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24I should get back.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- My dad will be going nuts. - You just got here.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Your dad sounds lame.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Do you want one? Take it, II've got loads.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40I'm obsessed with these things.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48ANDREW SNIFFS

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Dad?

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Do you want some gum?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Dad?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10No, I don't.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11You sure? It's great.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13How many times, Vincent? No gum, OK?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Where did you get that?

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Corner shop.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Limited re-release apparently.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Go on.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50I haven't had these since I was a kid.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Used to drive my mum crazy sticking gum all over the house.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yes!

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Would you look at you?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I need to get on.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36For a minute there, I could have sworn I saw your dad smile.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Nice work.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46We've been playing for hours!

0:13:46 > 0:13:49You'll have to take over soon. My hands are turning to claws.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52And look at your eyes. You look like the Emperor!

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- SINISTER VOICE:- Your people skills are no match

0:13:57 > 0:13:59for the power of the dark side.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Mind if I get a drink?

0:14:03 > 0:14:04Go for it, Red.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06What did you just call me?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08That's your name from now on.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Red for your Emperor eyes.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30I can't be him. I can't be!

0:14:32 > 0:14:34I don't want to talk about Red, Vinny.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35It upsets your dad.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Please, I have to know.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42How did it happen?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Honestly, I don't... I don't know.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I remember I was going for a world record, too.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58100 skips a minute.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01And then...

0:15:03 > 0:15:05..I heard your dad shouting.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Red, no! Come back, please.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09No, Red! No!

0:15:11 > 0:15:15And I remember this weird sort of light...

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Mum!

0:15:17 > 0:15:18..and then it was gone.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24I asked him, but he never wanted to talk about it.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27The only time I saw him react

0:15:27 > 0:15:30was when he smashed up his games console.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36It's like a piece of him had broken and it never got fixed.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Red?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Red?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47I s-s-said, is your dad going to let you s-sleep over?

0:15:47 > 0:15:52- No way!- It's the only w-way we're going to beat this record, man.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53What's his problem?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56He's kind of stubborn, like you.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58I like him already.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02You know that's not something to be proud of?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Never been a p-problem so far.

0:16:05 > 0:16:10Maybe if you just talked for once, things wouldn't seem so bad.

0:16:12 > 0:16:17Your wife wouldn't leave, and your family would stay together.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18What are you talking about?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Wife? I'm never getting married.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Are you g-going to help me jump this thing, or what?

0:16:28 > 0:16:32On your marks, g-get set...

0:16:32 > 0:16:33..go!

0:16:41 > 0:16:43You go get it. I'll set this up again.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46No, you set up last time. I'll do it.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56What does he love to do?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Huh?

0:16:59 > 0:17:04Your dad. Maybe if you both do something that he likes doing,

0:17:04 > 0:17:07then he'll r-relax a bit.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Then you can get through to him and then you can sleep over!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yes!

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Erm, Dad?

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Not right now, Vinny... Vincent.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Look what I just found. - What did I just say?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Auntie Jean says you never beat the world record.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03So, I thought maybe we could do it together.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- This is broken.- It was.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08I fixed it.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Vincent, it'll take hours to beat this record.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Days.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22That's what you're doing here, isn't it? Taking time.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25That's what Mum said.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27So, take it.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Oh!

0:18:42 > 0:18:46GAME BEEPS

0:18:57 > 0:18:58I've still got it.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Vincent?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Vinny? Vinny? Look at the score.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Look!- 41,336,000...

0:19:25 > 0:19:28..350, yeah.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32OK, just keep calm.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Steady.- I never get past this bit.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35I always get stuck.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Then we'll get through it, together.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Come on, steady.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45That's it. Come on.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57- BOTH:- 42 million!- We did it!

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Yes!

0:19:59 > 0:20:0242 million, 42 million!

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Yes!

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Where's it gone?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's outside.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41It's getting weaker.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42It's running out.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49AJ, breakfast.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54One, two, three, four...

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Red?- I came to say thanks.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02What you said about my dad, it really worked.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I haven't seen him that happy since...

0:21:05 > 0:21:07- ..forever.- Cool, come on in.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Mum just made b-butterscotch Angel Delight.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17M-Mum, Red's here.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's today.

0:21:23 > 0:21:29And I remember this weird sort of light.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Red disappeared down that well.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36From then on, things just seemed to unravel for your dad.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38This is it. This is how I go down the well.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44But if I don't go down, I can't get home.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50I can't stay. I can't!

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Red?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58I can't let AJ see me disappear.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02You staying or are you going?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06I can't do it to him. I can't.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'll never see home again.

0:22:17 > 0:22:18Red?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Oh, is your dad going to be mad?

0:22:23 > 0:22:27If it helps, mum said you can sleep over.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28Come on, then.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's back.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Red, you coming or what?

0:22:43 > 0:22:44AJ...

0:22:46 > 0:22:48..you're the best friend I ever had.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Er, OK, weirdo.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57- I need to go.- Cool, Red.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Smell ya later.- Yeah...

0:23:00 > 0:23:01..much later.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Oh!

0:23:22 > 0:23:26I knew there was something weird about this place.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Mmm, smells good.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Dad, you can cook?

0:23:35 > 0:23:39What are you talking about, Vinny? I always do a roast on a Sunday.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Who's the extra place for?

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Hey, love.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Mum?

0:23:57 > 0:24:01Fate, the turn of events beyond a person's control...

0:24:02 > 0:24:04..predetermined by a supernatural power.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10Is there really something out there guiding our every decision?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Or are you shaping your own future?
