Episode 11 Nowhere Boys

You cast a spell to get me magic and you got stuck nowhere.

It would be different this time. I know how to do it.

If I said yes, how would it work?

Ley lines are invisible lines around the world...

Of mystical significance - exactly.

They all disappeared along this ley line.

Roland saw Oscar running. He knows about magic.

We need help with a memory-wiping spell.

You gave them my tablet.

We can't risk Roland asking more questions.

And what if the kids do more than wipe his memory?

Erase and quell for ever.

Sam, get out of the circle!

Hey!

Dudes!

Are you OK?

I... I don't know.

That was intense.

Why didn't you tell me doing magic was so full-on?

-Did the spell affect you?

-What spell?

Why would Roland have all this stuff about ley lines?

All of you...stop.

Tell me exactly what is going on.

-PHOEBE:

-Oi.

Deed is done. Give it back.

What are you doing here?

This is a one-time-only deal.

-What are you doing here?

-This is a one-time-only deal.

-You can't give it to Alice.

-I have to. It's hers.

-She'll use it to stop...

-She made me promise.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

W-What have you done?

You sure the spell worked?

Just the way we planned.

What did you do? How did you do this?

Calm down. It's OK.

Do you remember the spell?

What spell? What are you talking about?

I think you got too close to Roland.

Roland?

What are you talking about?

I think we wiped your memory too.

Come on. I need to find a way to fix this.

What? Hairy fingers? Dad shoes?

Oh, no. "Roland Victor Murphy. Date of birth - 1969!"

Oh, no, no, no.

HE YELLS

You are SO old!

Could we get the tablet back?

You heard Phoebe. I don't think so.

But we can't reverse the spell without it.

Couldn't we just tell Sam what he needs to know?

Fill in the blanks.

Hey...

where is Sam?

PHONE RINGS

Roberts.

-Roberts, you have to help me.

-'Who is this?'

It's me. Detective Sergeant Murphy.

-Sam!

-Prank calling the police station

might not be the smartest thing to do, young man.

I'm not. I'm... They think I'm ...

'Hang on a minute.'

Long story short - this is an opportunity.

Are you all right?

Um...

I don't know. Why don't you tell me?

Guys?

Dudes.

Felix!

Felix! Seriously, dude.

This is SO not funny.

Felix?

So what's the last thing you remember?

The party.

Andy running off.

You don't remember anything after that?

Not a thing.

You remember the alternate universe, though, right?

I could use a precis.

Precis?

It means 'recap'.

I know what it means. Since when does Sam?

Dudes, I have a dictionary...

on my phone.

Anyway, back to the alternate universe stuff you mentioned.

Guys...tell me more about that.

You remember the school excursion?

Felix!

Felix!

Can I ask what you're doing?

Oh, Mrs Ferne. Hi.

Haven't you harassed my son enough?

No?

I'd appreciate it if you left now.

Um, if you see Felix, can you tell him I said...

"hi" and that I-I need to see him.

It's super-urgent.

You look ridiculous, by the way.

-With the baseball cap.

-Oh.

Who do you think you are, the hip-hop police?

Oh.

Hey, watch it!

Oh, sorry, Detective.

Detective?

Oh, yeah, yeah, right. That's me, Detec... Detective.

Oi.

Stop right there.

Er, yes?

Are we doing something wrong, Detective?

-Yes, you are, Mia.

-Such as?

Well, you... You know.

No, I don't.

Well, you could do so much better than this...clown.

Give me your skateboard.

Why?

I'm confiscating it.

-Why?

-Hey, you want a fine, too?

Yeah, I can fine you. I'm a detective.

-No, I...

-Maybe a little jail time?

For what?

Just try me.

And the helmet.

Good.

Now get out of here.

Mia!

You know I'm right, Mia.

What was that all about?

So maybe Andy's in another universe with dinosaurs or something?

Without a talisman, we have no way of contacting him again.

Right. Talisman. Where did that come from again?

The other universe. It was Alice's. She doesn't have one here.

Which she should, shouldn't she?

There were two necklaces.

-Two versions of you...

-And two Garys.

I... I'm confused.

He's back.

But Alice doesn't have a talisman here.

That's why she was after yours.

Which means for some reason, she never had it here.

-We could still find it.

-A second talisman.

If there is a second talisman, where would we find it?

Could be anywhere.

Good thing we have Oscar.

Oscar.

Oh!

Detective Sergeant Murphy.

So instead of looking for Andy Lau, you're learning to skateboard?

No. I already know how to skateboard.

What do you say to the accusations

that your investigation has been incompetent?

Oh, um...

Sorry.

That's not an answer.

-Sorry. Yes, it is.

-Hey, what are you doing?

-What?

-What are you doing?

-You're in shot, Sergeant.

Yeah, and you're out of line.

We're doing everything we can to find Andy Lau.

-Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you tell her, Sarge.

-Really?

So what progress have you made?

-Well...

-Hmm.

Well, yeah, for your information,

we are, like, this close to getting Andy back.

You are?

-We are?

-Yeah. Aren't we?

Hmm.

Are you keeping information from the public? From the Lau family?

HE CHUCKLES Do you know where Andy Lau is?

Oh, now, I never said that...

You said that you were "this close". What did you mean?

Yeah, what did you mean?

What did I mean?

What I meant is that...

being a detective is not easy.

I've got hair growing out of my ears

and my back hurts for no reason.

And what I... What I need now is just to talk to Felix.

OK?

So if that's, er, that's everything, thank you very much.

Dude!

So, according to this, it's all to do with the ley lines.

The disappearances in the forest, the strange events, the magic.

Where are these ley lines? I've never seen any.

They're kind of like the equator. You can't see that, either.

PHONE RINGS

-Who is it?

-No idea.

'Hey, this is Felix. Speak now or for ever hold your peace.'

Come on, Felix. I can't be Roland for ever.

PHONE RINGS

"Station"?

Hello?

Are you...me?

-What are you doing at the station?

-Just put Felix on.

Do not open your mouth.

Whoops. Too late.

What do you mean?

I only saved your bacon with that reporter chick.

You talked to the press?

Chillax, dude. I totally rocked it.

I highly doubt you rocked anything.

Whatever. Just tell Felix he needs to change us back, like, now.

You coming?

Stay right where you are. Don't move.

RUMBLING

Oh.

Oh, I'm starved. See ya.

I have to go. Later, gang. Yo.

What did you just say?

We're looking for the talisman. We need you.

Er, yes, of course.

Right. Just, er...

I've just got an errand to run.

Errand?

Is this about Mia?

Now's not the time.

Er, yes, Mia. Exactly.

-I won't be long.

-Sam!

Chillax, dudes. Totally rocking this.

What?

Meet back at my place!

What did you put in that spell?

You.

Stay away from me.

-What?

-I know what you're capable of.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me? As if you don't know.

Er, I don't.

When this is all over, you will be needing your lawyer, Ms Hartley.

Well, I'll need something connected to the talisman.

We don't have anything. Could you just try anyway?

It's worth a shot, right?

HE LAUGHS AWKWARDLY

No pressure.

I can't do it with all you watching.

OK. We'll be over here.

Why are you always looking at that stuff?

Ley lines are lines of powerful magic.

The places where they intersect are the most powerful of all.

What is it, Osky?

Sorry. All I've done is draw the talisman again.

The lines on the talisman -

they're the same pattern as the ley lines.

-What does that mean?

-Hang on. Let me try something.

The talisman and the ley lines are connected.

How?

All we have to do is line them up.

They're a map.

That's the altar in the forest. That's what made the unmaking spell

-work that first time.

-That's the school.

-And what's this one?

Dudes, skating here...

took for ever.

Roberts, where's Murphy?

-Excuse me?

-I need to see him now.

First off, you need a lesson in how to address a police officer.

Get over it, Roberts. This is an emergency.

What sort of emergency, exactly?

I am Murphy.

I mean, I'm Murphy, stuck in this kid's body.

-That was you on the phone.

-That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Pretending to be Detective Murphy.

I'm not pretending, I...

Look, long story short - is he here or not?

Why do you keep saying that?

Saying what?

It's annoying enough when Detective Murphy says it.

It is?

Take a seat.

I'll make a call.

Dudes, I am telling you, I'm Sam.

Inside this saggy, wrinkly, really unbelievably gross body, I am Sam.

Prove it.

Ask me anything. Something only Sam would know.

What does Sam know?

I know plenty! I know that when we were in the other universe,

your mum was married to Bates, you were in love with Andy

and you refused to wash.

So we didn't erase your memory?

No! You swapped us.

This is not good.

Oh, finally!

If you're Sam and Sam is Roland,

then we just told Roland everything.

Your mum is coming to get you as soon as she can.

My mum?

Roberts, this is ridiculous. I'm a grown man.

I thought I knew everything when I was your age, too.

I'm older than you!

What happened to you boys...

when you went missing?

Is that what's causing all this?

That is what I am this close to finding out.

RUMBLING

CRASHING ALARM WAILS

Wait here.

Sam! I mean, Roland.

Let's go now, before Roberts comes back.

This is...

Weird?

This is freakier than when I saw the alternate universe me.

Why are you wearing that stupid hat?

Cos it looks good.

Everything we told you, about magic, what we can do...

Are you going to tell people?

Because if you do, we could make Roland here walk through town

with his underpants on his head.

Yeah.

I could do that.

Then it's "goodbye, career".

I won't tell...

..if you fix this.

Yeah, we're working on that.

The talisman is most likely to be at a place of magical power.

Detective!

It's Viv. Ellen, put the map away.

Yes, Vivian?

Not you.

-Go on.

-Oh. Yeah.

Er...h-hi, Viv.

What are you doing here, with them?

Well, I...

You gave them my research?

No, no, it... It wasn't me.

Why are you lying?

-Viv...

-You? Don't talk to me.

I can't believe you're on their side.

We have to tell her the truth.

We get her brother back. That'll be better than the truth.

You know this is trespassing, right?

I'm an officer of the law.

-Er, technically I am.

-Either way.

Do you want your bodies back or don't you?

-BOTH: Yes.

-Trespass it is.

Bates!

What's he doing here?

Weekend science club. It starts in an hour.

I used to go...

to meet girls.

All right, let's check the plans.

Great idea, dude.

-Don't tell me you're BFFs now.

-So what are we looking for?

I don't know exactly. A hiding place for the talisman.

That tracing you made.

Doesn't work.

But this one might.

I will not ever get used to this.

What?

Smart Sam.

Standing right here!

It fits perfectly.

Which makes the intersection the woodwork room.

I spent two years in this room. I never saw any talisman.

Two years? You failed woodwork?

Shelves are tricky.

Let's stay on task, shall we?

If I were a talisman...

where would I hide?

Is there anything that doesn't belong?

Anything out of place?

Everything's out of place. It's a mess.

Check this.

No-one used this thing, not once in two years.

Don't even know what it does.

It's a hand drill.

So why is it stuck to the wall?

Try twisting it.

Do it again.

I'm so taking woodwork next year.

Dust. Cobwebs.

I don't think anyone's been here for a while.

These books are filled with magic I've never even heard of.

Hey, don't nerd out on me now, dude.

Somebody at this school was a very powerful witch.

And they know about ley lines.

Look all over - could be anywhere.

Is this meaningful?

It's an altar, same as the forest.

Why here?

The scrying pool doesn't lie.

What are they looking for?

Another talisman.

Isn't that a bad thing?

No.

It's an opportunity.

The talisman's close.

I can feel it.

Ba-bow!

Dude! This is it.

So we can swap back to our old bodies with that thing?

Yes! Goodbye, floppy underarm bits.

Listen, I'm a bit tired of the old-man gags.

Hello! And I'm not tired of BEING the old man?

This has got to stop.

First we have to activate it.

Elements we call together.

Erase and quell for ever.

Elements we call together.

Erase and quell for ever.

HE CHUCKLES I'm me!

And I am most certainly not you.

What...What have you been doing to me?

RUMBLING

Oh, I'm starving. Didn't you feed me?

Do you think we can use the talisman to talk to Andy?

With this altar...

..we might be able to bring him home.

Elements in flux.

Elements unite.

Elements in flux.

Elements unite.

We need to find another tear so that we can find a way to get me home.

What's happening?

You did this!

-Can you slow Alice down? Get the cops onto her?

-Leave it with me.

-Hey!

-We use the altar to boost the communication spell

-that turns a window into a door.

-That's brilliant.

-Do you guys feel that?

-Alice knows about the second talisman.

-What's she doing?

-Trying to stop us reaching Andy,

like she did last time.

No!
