0:00:05 > 0:00:08Seems, on the surface, like the world's divided
0:00:08 > 0:00:09along two clean lines.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11There are the people who believe in ghosts
0:00:11 > 0:00:15and then there are the people who think those people are stupid.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18But scratch beneath the surface and just maybe,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21the world's a bit more complicated than that.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30SCREECHING
0:00:38 > 0:00:40HE CRIES OUT
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And I stopped, in front of the old science block
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and suddenly, I heard this noise.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- What kind of noise?- Like a screaming.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05There was a red eye staring at me.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Whoa! Weren't you scared?- No.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Were your pants on fire?- What?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Are you a liar?- No.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14What kind of airhead believes this stuff?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Wait, though.- We heard screaming about seven o'clock.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19We were cycling down a back lane.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We went straight home, in case it was Mr Pickles' ghost.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Yes. It was Mr Pickles' ghost. I saw him.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Guys, just a little point.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Mr Pickles' ghost doesn't exist.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32It's just like an urban myth.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- What did he look like?- Horrible.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39What can you do(?)
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Hot off the press. Read about the new school wheelie bins.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51All right. Mrs Quinn grows wings and a beak.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- I see no-one's buying your newspaper any more.- And you are?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Xenia Rice. Class 3D. I've been watching you.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Times are hard in the newspaper business.- Obviously.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Because there's no news! - Hence the article on wheelie bins.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Hey, it's time somebody examined the issues around.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Wheel-based garbage disposal.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18OK. What am I supposed to do? Make up the news?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I think I can help you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Super piece on our new dustbins.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Thank you.- Very interesting, Mavis.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I'm looking forward to more rubbish articles from you.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's Mia.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36You've got a week, hot shot. Make it count.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40You've got one more minute...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42for those of you who can't count,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45one is a very small number.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53BEEPING
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Gotcha.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I'll take care of this, thank you. You know the rules.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You get it back in one week.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05'Good old Freaky Bacon.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08'His real name is Kevin but everyone calls him Freaky.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'This was the second time in as many weeks
0:03:11 > 0:03:12'he'd had a game confiscated.'
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Yes?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Sir, when can I get Skull of Doom back?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You've already had that one for a week.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Every time you ask, another week is added.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- A lot plus one equals even more. - But, sir...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Do I hear a voice talking?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I thought not. Right. - BELL RINGS
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Hand in as you go. Class dismissed.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39..He had green smoke coming out his nostrils.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Whoa! What colour was his face?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I heard it was like green or something.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Yeah, with yellow blotches.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Up until now, Ralph Devlin's only real claim to fame
0:03:49 > 0:03:52was that his dad runs a novelty shop in Boot Street.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58But now his story about Pickles is sweeping the school like wildfire.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And Doobie had taken it upon himself to fan the flames.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04..so disgusting that every single person hates him.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10OK. Maybe I didn't see him, but the boy who did told me 12 feet tall.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- And apparently, he wears this hat. - A hat?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I mean, a really scary one.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19And he has claws instead of hands.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But you want to know the worstest thing? He's hunting for kids.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25GASPS
0:04:25 > 0:04:27That's why I'm getting this ready.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31How tall? 15 feet.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And that's why I've got this.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38And you believe all this?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42So tell me, what is this thing?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's a... it's a...
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- Yeah. It's a monster.- No. - Vampire?- Not a vampire.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51A kind of werewolf?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I know. Is it like an Egyptian mummy that's come back to life?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59No.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It's a...
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- It's Mr Pickles' ghost.- A ghost.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06That's funny.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I don't want to like...
0:05:08 > 0:05:14sneeze on your chips or anything, but won't that go straight through it?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Tell us again.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I was like running through the corridor
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and then he was like chasing me,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25but next time, if he does that again, I'll get the bat
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- and just whack him and whack him and...- Boo.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31GIGGLING
0:05:31 > 0:05:34You'll see.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37There's no smoke without fire.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Mia soon discovered that nothing sells a school paper
0:05:40 > 0:05:43like a good ghost story.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46It's 50 years since mad science teacher, Mr Pickles,
0:05:46 > 0:05:47was killed in a fire.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Today, we reprint the original report of his death.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Crazy science experiment to bring people back from the dead.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Green smoke hung over the school as fire raged.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Potty Pickles perfected potion prior to perishing...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03and took it himself!
0:06:03 > 0:06:08One day, his ghost will return to lay a curse on the school and its pupils.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I lost my lucky hair bobble, the sparkly one.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14My phone died for no reason.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And it charges to one band, then nothing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It must be the curse.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19THEY GASP
0:06:19 > 0:06:21..And it was over 20 feet tall.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Have I done well? Are you pleased?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Pleased? You finding that old article on the internet -
0:06:28 > 0:06:30that's great reporting, Xenia.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Beginner's luck.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Hardly. Where was it from again?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Newton Herald? 3rd October 1959?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42That's the one.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43- Are you OK?- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Why wouldn't I be?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Tried giving one boy 100 lines.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55He didn't know what 100 was.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Honestly!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's enough to make a grown man weep.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07"We know what you're doing after work."
0:07:14 > 0:07:15All gone.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Every last copy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Do you want me to start on the next edition?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Yeah, but there's something that's still bugging me?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25You know that old article that you found on Mr Pickles?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Yeah.- New Town Herald?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- 3rd October 1959?- Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Well, it says here on their website
0:07:33 > 0:07:36that the paper wasn't launched until 2005.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- So I wrote it. Big deal.- What?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I mocked it up on the computer to look old.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44So you lied to our readers.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Before I came, you had no readers to lie to.- That's not the point.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Don't tell me you didn't suspect something fishy was going on.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- You could have stopped this earlier but you didn't.- That's not true.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Come on. I saw you. Every kid in the playground reading your paper.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- You loved it.- Maybe.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- It's what you want, Mia. - No. Not like this.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Leave it all to me. Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It's supposed to be a newspaper. The clue's in the title.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It's about news. Xenia, you're fired!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Big mistake, lady.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21'It didn't take Xenia long to act on her threat.'
0:08:21 > 0:08:23This is outrageous.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25"We at Fab News...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Fab News?- I know.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30"..challenge Half Moon Investigations
0:08:30 > 0:08:32"to find the truth behind Mr Pickles' ghost.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- But will they dare?- What's this nonsense?- Nothing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- It's not real, Principle Quinn. - Good.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Just remember, the old science block is out of bounds.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Anyone caught there will wish they'd been cursed by a ghost.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Yes, Mrs Quinn.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- So are we taking the case? - It's not a case.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It's a charade to launch Xenia's paper.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56And if there really is a ghost?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00We're investigators. We deal in facts.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Ghosts are for kids.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But Moon's terrified of Quinn.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Not true.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Prove it...unless you aren't the big brave investigator you claim to be.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20OK, then. Tomorrow night, me and Red'll find the truth.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We're going in.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Print that in Fab News.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Sure you don't want a part of this? - Quite sure.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35We've got work to do.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And only one day to get ready.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Not quite.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Whatever spooked Ralph and the girls was human.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47When they read Fab News, they'll think they're safe till tomorrow.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48So we're going in tonight.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Here we go.- What is it?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Box of old junk from the garage?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Well, one man's junk is another man's detective security stuff.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03If that's what you want to call it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Just use your imagination.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07OK, then.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Like wearing a pair of rubber dinghies on your head.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Very funny.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- What is this?- Polaroid camera.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32We'll glue a lever onto the shutter,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37some fishing line for a trip wire and bingo, instant proof.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Take a picture of a ghost and we'll be millionaires.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43No, Red.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46There you are, sweetheart. Hello, Red.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Hi.- I wondered if you might like a hot drink each?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Not just now, thanks, Mum.- OK, then.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57It's just that it might be time for winding down on a school night.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- It's quarter to five.- Is it?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'm so used to getting home late from work.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- Well, you can carry on playing then, if you like.- We're not playing, Mum.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09What are you doing then?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Collecting stuff for school hobbies night.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I didn't know anything about that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Oh, it's so boring, I never thought to tell you.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19What's the hobby? Torches?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Surveillance equipment.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Oh...lovely.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Well, if you change your mind
0:11:25 > 0:11:29and feel like telling me about your day I'll be in the kitchen.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- OK. Bye, Mum.- Bye, Mrs Moon.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36They get older and their brains turn to mush.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38OK. We need to get on our bikes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Next stop, St Jerome's.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49All seemed quiet, although Quinn's car was still there,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52so we headed round the back of the old science block.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I kept a look out, while Red looked for a way in.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Come on, Half Moon.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Are you going to help me or not?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Whoever it was that scared Devereaux, they were here.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50Come on. Let's go get the equipment set up, before it gets dark.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Try pulling the wire.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Sweet.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Now we wait.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39He's in the cupboard.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40I know.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Do we take a look?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Or run for our lives?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Your call.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51We need to take a look at the film, first.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53See who we're dealing with.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06It's got a load of hair. I vote we back off.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- What kind of monster has...? - Cover me.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm going in.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Freaky Bacon?- Sharkey?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Moon?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32You're not meant to be here.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Exactly.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Well, you found your ghost. It's me.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Devlin saw the red recording light from my camera.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah. So what was the screaming noise he said he heard?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Aha!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Plus he was screaming like a girl, too.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01That's what the others must have heard.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03We heard screaming about seven o'clock.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06We were cycling down the back lane.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08We went straight home, in case it was Mr Pickles' ghost.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Fitz and Mrs Quinn, they stay late, night after night.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16They're up to something and I'm going to get the evidence.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- What for?- Sounds like blackmail.- Why?
0:15:19 > 0:15:24I'll take of this. You know the rules. You get it back in one week.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29'So I can get Skull of Doom back from Fitz and all my other games.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31'I've got to get that game back.'
0:15:31 > 0:15:34And all I need is a clear shot.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Look. There's Quinn. Stick it out. Go on. Stick the microphone out.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Go! Go!
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Wait.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54..to show how you jump and spin and kick.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Oh, yes.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Just think, one more level and we can claim the skull!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04The Skull of Doom. They're playing MY game.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06How about I lend you this tape?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I'm sure Fitz will be very interested.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13My phone's working again.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I knew there was no curse.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17It was so obvious.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I found my lucky hair bobble.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Little Ralph Devlin.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28From zero to hero, to zero again...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30in five days.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32"My dad runs a novelty shop."
0:16:32 > 0:16:36That's not the same as having a personality, though.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Ohh!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Can I interest anyone in a copy?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- No, thanks.- No?- You promised me you'd keep this anonymous.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You'd better not let Quinn see this.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Like there's any chance of that! No-one's interested in reading it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- At least you're telling the truth now.- Look where it got me. I'm you!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03What you doing tonight, then?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Dad's out, so Mum's playing the quality-time cards.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Making popcorn and watching a DVD.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11We used to do that.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I don't know what Mum did to the popcorn.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It was always nicer than Dad's.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18SCREAM
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Mr Pickles.- He's back.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Looks like you solved it, Moon...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- not.- Bet he never even went in.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's time we took this thing seriously, Moon.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34You always told me, if you close your mind, you can never close a case.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Weigh the evidence before you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38And expect the unexpected.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It can't do any harm.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43OK.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44We're going back in.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47CHEERING
0:17:53 > 0:17:57There you are, Fletcher. What time do you want to settle down tonight?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Seven o'clock?- Um...- I couldn't get that film you wanted,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02so I got the Sound Of Music instead.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Oh, in that case...- Just teasing! I got your film...eventually.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Had to search all over, though, and guess what?- Mum...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Pecan-flavoured popcorn. Your favourite.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13It is your favourite?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Well, that's a relief.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I can't remember the last time we had a night together,
0:18:18 > 0:18:19just you and me.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23'Great(!) Now what?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25'I didn't want to let Mum down.'
0:18:27 > 0:18:28What do I do?
0:18:34 > 0:18:40Hi, Reg. Just to say, on second thoughts, it's off tonight.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44We'll admit defeat on this one and become a laughing stock.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47What's that? Why?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Oh, because my mum bought pecan-flavoured popcorn
0:18:50 > 0:18:52and it is my very favourite...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think not(!)
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Bernstein, give me a clue.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06"Sometimes,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10"stepping hard on the bad guys means stepping on the good guys, too.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13"It's called collateral damage.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17"Every detective has let down a loved one, to close a case.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20"Nobody said this game was a picnic."
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Thanks a bunch.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27'It didn't feel good, but I guess that's why they call it tough love.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30'I had to get this case back on track.'
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Mum.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- How's the homework coming along? - Fine.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Mum, I've just realised, I'm meant to be meeting Red tonight.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Oh. Do you want to give him a ring?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I don't expect he'll mind.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Actually, it's quite important. I can't let him down.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Popcorn'll keep, won't it?
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Mum, if it's OK with you, I might stay at Red's tonight.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You know, if it gets late.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06OK. Take your toothbrush...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- just in case.- Sorry, Mum.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11No. It's fine.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13You have a good time.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18'I'll make it up to you, Mum...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20'somehow.'
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Ssh!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You shush!
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- FLAPPING - Ohhh!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It was only a pigeon.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Why did you run then?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I was following you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Of course(!)
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Admit...you're scared, aren't you?
0:20:57 > 0:21:03Let's remind ourselves, we are the hunter, not the hunted.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05OK.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11My dad got me this.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Is that what I think it is?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Depends on what you think it is.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17An EMF meter.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It picks up electric magnetic fields.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Ghost hunters use them.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- That's the one.- But why?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Dad gave it to me when I said what we were doing.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- So the whole Sharkey clan believes in ghosts?- Kind of.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34He gave it to me when my mum died...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37just in case she was still around, sort of thing.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43'Way to go, man.'
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I didn't mean to laugh... you know, earlier.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's OK.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Maybe there ARE ghosts, what do I know?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Maybe.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I think ghosts is the wrong word.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Whoo-hoo-oo! You know...
0:22:03 > 0:22:07But sometimes, when you see something so perfect,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10like a brand-new bike with no lock on it...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12beautiful.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15And it's like...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I can hear my mum's voice in my head...
0:22:17 > 0:22:22saying, "Touch that, Red, and I'll box your ears so hard!"
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Then there might not be ghosts,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30but it's nice to think of her still here.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Keeping a beady eye on me.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36BUZZING Whoa!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39What was that?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- Seems like an electronic field has started up in here?- What?- Ssh!
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm picking up a hissing noise.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- HOLLOW VOICE:- This is Mr Pickles.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Where are you?- Quick. Use the meter to trace it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15The old class PA system. That must have set the trigger off.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It picked up the electromagnetic signal from the PA.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22And look - a can of green monster smoke,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- that can be bought from any good joke shop.- So...no ghost.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- No ghost. - Who's messing us around this time?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I think I can find out.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Just need to speed this up.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- TAPE SPEEDS UP - 'Mr Pickles.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44'What are you doing here? Stay away from here.'
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Xenia?- 'Go!'
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Something tells me that she's not that far away.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Probably got a remote control in her hands.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Very clever.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Almost glad you rumbled me. I was getting cramp there.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I couldn't just let Fab News die.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10'On the contrary, seems like you'll do anything to make it a success...
0:24:10 > 0:24:14'including lying blatantly to your readers.'
0:24:14 > 0:24:15SCREAM
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- What was that?- Another of your pranks, perhaps?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'm all out of pranks.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Then who made that noise? - Mr Pickles?- What do we do?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Nothing. It was probably the wind.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- I don't think so, Moon. - Do something!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Arggh!
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Run!
0:24:39 > 0:24:40I'm it!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Real monsters don't run.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Ow!
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Oww!
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Ow!
0:24:59 > 0:25:00You?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Who's next?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Quinn in a gorilla suit. - Why didn't you run off?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Cos there's no such thing as ghosts, dummy! What were you trying to do?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Trying to keep the story alive.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14And I stopped right in front of the old science block
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- and suddenly I heard this noise. - What kind of noise?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20'Getting scared out was the best thing that's ever happened to you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23'It gave you a story to tell and an audience keen to hear it.'
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And his teeth, they were like sharpened.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28'But when the story went up in smoke,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31'it took your popularity with it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33'You had to find a way to keep it alive.'
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I saw Xenia by the smoke canister from my Dad's shop.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Same place you got the costume.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I guessed what she was doing. Getting you back in here.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48So you thought you'd jump on the bandwagon.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I'd scare you all. And people'd believe me again.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Can I just make a suggestion?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57How about you take off your costume and we all go home?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Nice!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Ready?- Let's lay down some rules.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25First, no screaming, however scary. Remember, it's just a film.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28And no saying what's going to happen every five minutes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You've got yourself a deal.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51She's out of a job but she did me a favour in a way.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Gave me something to write about.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Want to come to mine? Freaky Bacon lent me Skull of Doom.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- He lent you it?- Kind of hush money for keeping quiet about his part.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Bring it on!
