Episode 5 Nowhere Boys

Did you do something to Andy Lau?

-They've got nothing to say.

-We know it was you, Felix.

-We need the police off our backs.

-And Andy back.

You say that like it's actually possible!

When I was lost in the forest, I thought about you.

So, um, are you new?

Mia dumped me.

Excuse me, I'm still your teacher, Jake.

Yeah, that's right. Nothing more.

-Come here.

-I'll be right back.

Those boys know something about what happened to my brother.

I found these in Andy's internet history.

If we had a real water element, we could do a tracking spell.

If there is another slightly less awesome water element out there,

-how do we find it?

-Incoming!

SPLAT!

It's OK. You're the one we're looking for.

Missed it.

That wasn't normal.

A beginner like Saskia shouldn't have that much magical power.

-What, more than you?

-More than any of us.

..How did you do it?

-Hover that water bomb?

-You tell me.

-Got 'em.

-Good.

-This should be enough water for a tracking spell.

-"Should"?

-I thought you said you knew what to do.

-I do.

Kind of.

If it works, the water will turn into a scrying pool.

-In English?

-We'll be able to see Andy and track where he is.

Floating water bombs and magic spells.

I don't know about all this.

-You don't have to be afraid.

-Yeah, seriously.

Who doesn't want a crack at magic?

-I guess.

-Better get started.

-Oh.

Maybe it's right.

Maybe this needs to be a police thing now.

I don't know why you're here.

Didn't you just break up with Sam? Look.

What are they doing with her?

Sam and Saskia?

Where are you going?

You're right. Why am I even here?

I guess it's the moment of truth.

Cross everything.

TANK BUBBLES

It's beautiful.

-What is it?

-The reason we still exist.

As water is to water

You will become as one

As water is to water

You will find what I seek...

FURIOUS BUBBLING

..As water is to water

You will reveal and show.

TALISMAN HUMS

-KNOCKING

-Felix, open the door.

-Ellen!

-Hurry up, dude.

Come on, Andy, where are you?

SPLASHING

FSSSSSH!

-URGENT KNOCKING

-Felix, I know you're in there!

How did you do that?

Weren't we supposed to see Andy?

But I followed this spell to the letter.

No offence, dude, but it seems like a dud to me.

DOOR RATTLES

Well, it had to mean something. Trust me, when have I let you down?

Um, abducted to another universe?

An evil demon trying to destroy us, maybe?

We can go on if you like?

-< ELLEN:

-Felix!

Seriously, this isn't funny.

I'll talk to Ellen.

Meet at my place and we'll figure this out, OK?

Let's get moving.

Have it your way.

DOOR OPENS

Hi, Ellen.

Nice of you to make an appearance.

Ellen, always a pleasure. Can't stop now, though. Fish emergency.

-What were you doing in there?

-Class assignment.

-With the door locked?

-These fish won't save themselves, Felix.

-We need to find them a new home, pronto.

-Are you still here?

Felix, I have to tell you something in private.

Don't hate me.

I don't hate you, Felix.

That would mean I care!

That was amazing.

What else can you do?

Lately, nothing useful.

I'm all over the...

CRACKLING

HE GASPS

Jake, are you OK?

I think I'm all right.

Jake.

Glad I caught you.

Ah, can I speak with you for a sec?

..Thanks, Saskia!

-So, about dinner at my place tonight.

-Dinner?

Oh. Awkward... Your mum said something about voicemail.

-I'm having dinner at your place?

-Yeah, tonight. Any requests?

Right, look, I don't think I can make it. I've got something on.

It is important to your mum, Jake. And me.

I'll see what I can do.

Great. See you tonight, then.

So, are you the teacher's pet?

-It's complicated.

-I guess you don't want to talk about it.

-How could you tell?

-That's my other superpower.

HE CHUCKLES

First, Sam, now, she's flirting with Jake?

She was in that room the whole time.

Whatever's going on with those head cases, the new girl is in on it.

-Why would the water disappear?

-Instead of showing you Andy?

It doesn't make any sense. HE PLAYS CHORD

Face it, dudes. The spell was a bust, just like Mia and me.

HE STRUMS

SPEAKER BUZZES It had to mean something.

Then why did she dump me?

Hey, what if you made a spell that made her change her mind?

-It doesn't work like that.

-Dude, you owe me.

Everything was fine until you made us disappear

into that other universe.

Maybe that's it. The water was supposed to show us Andy.

-Maybe there was nothing to show because he's not here.

-Obviously.

-That's why we're looking for him.

-I don't mean Bremin, THIS universe.

-Andy's in the other universe.

-Why not?

That's where Ellen liked him, and where he was freakishly popular.

He could have used magic to go back there.

You could go back, too, with the new element.

That is the worst idea ever.

What if the Demon is waiting for us?

Or what if the Demon has Andy?

We need to find Jake and Saskia.

TEXT ALERT

DOOR BELL CHIMES

SHE SIGHS

Are you going to turn that thing off?

How long's this going to take?

I know it feels strange,

but just give it a chance.

You two might hit it off.

He's my science teacher...!

Hello!

Ah, welcome.

-FOIL RUSTLES

-OK. Well, come in.

Jake, I'll give you the grand tour.

You'd better give your shoes a spritz.

You've got half of Bremin on them.

Wow, this smells fantastic.

Yeah, I backpacked through Italy after uni

and came across this recipe in a little village there.

Of course, I've refined it over time.

Added my own little twist.

You knew I loved Italian.

-Did I?

-Yes, you did! SHE GIGGLES

-I thought Thai was your favourite?

-You can love both.

-I make a mean green chicken curry, too.

-Mmm!

Jake, you have got to try this.

Pass.

Come on, Jake.

HE GAGS

HE SPLUTTERS

Jake!

WATER SPLASHES

HE SPLUTTERS

HE COUGHS

HE RETCHES

HE GASPS

KNOCK AT DOOR

Jake, are you all right?

Ah... All good.

-Will you please come out and talk to me?

-Just a minute.

Now, please?

HE FLUSHES

Oh, Jake, you're really hot.

-You've got an upset stomach?

-Something's upset.

-Everything OK?

-No, Jake's really burning up.

I'm going to have to take him home.

Oh, it's probably just that 24-hour thing.

-Hit the school pretty hard last week.

-Sorry, Mr...

-Sorry, Brian.

-Not to worry.

We'll do it again some other time when you're feeling up to it.

(Sorry.)

CROW CAWS, THUNDER RUMBLES

MOBILE RINGS AND VIBRATES

KNOCKING AT WINDOW

-Sam!

-Dude, he's right here.

Felix.

-What happened to you last night?

-We called and texted!

-Had to go to Bates' house.

-Happy families. Awesome.

-So sorry.

Hey, when he's your dad,

do you think he's going to give you more homework or less?

-Could be worse.

-How?

-No idea. Just trying to make you feel better.

-Right.

-Nail what happened with the tracking spell?

-In theory.

Well, we think Andy might be in the other universe.

-You can't be serious.

-It gets better.

Felix wants us to go back and get him.

-Well, I guess we've made it there and back before.

-Yeah.

OK, well, I've reworked the Unmaking Spell

so we can travel between the universes.

We'll be gone before the first class.

Right, well, you guys get a head start. I'll catch up.

What's going on?

This.

-Whoa.

-I was kind of hoping it'd go away.

This is magic, not man-flu.

CRACKLING It's spreading.

OK, we have to find Saskia.

You're sure you can fix him?

Multi-purpose talisman to the rescue.

Jake.

-That looks...terrible.

-Thanks(!)

-I didn't mean...

I know what you meant.

It's moving faster.

-Can you walk?

-I'm OK.

-DOOR OPENS

-Morning, gentlemen. >

Ready to reconstruct the scene of Andy's disappearance?

Oh, long-story-short, I've checked with your folks,

and they all signed off.

-We have to get out of it.

-Do what Roland wants. Worry about me later.

You'd be amazed at what a site visit can do to...

jog the memory.

Come on.

We'll find you.

So, Andy was over here, next to the drinks.

-Are we all agreed on that?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Then what?

-When we kept following Andy.

-Details, Felix. Did he walk?

Did he run? Did he talk to someone else, hmm? What about you two?

What did YOU see?

Felix said that Andy grabbed his bag and then...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Why did he take it?

-Felix?

-I don't know.

Then we followed him through there.

I'll show you.

Jake?

-How'd you pull up?

-Fine.

It was just one of those 24-hour things, like you said.

Are you sure you're on the mend? You don't look great.

I'm... I'm all right.

-All good.

-OK.

-OFFICER:

-We've already searched the surrounding bushland, sir.

-I don't see where he could have gone.

-Something happened here.

How much longer is this going to take, Detective?

Has it spread any further?

It's up to my chest now.

It's hard to breathe.

-Dude, we have to get him out of here.

-How do we do that?

So, Andy, he steals the bag and then he hightails it out here?

-He didn't steal it.

-OK.

-You argue and he borrows it?

-It wasn't an argument.

Then what, he just vanishes? And none of you saw anything?

Is that what I'm expected to believe?

We don't know what happened.

What about you?

Got nothing to say?

There was a lot going on. The storm.

-We were rushing...

-We should get back to school.

-No.

No, we're going to go through the whole thing again.

-From the start.

-No.

We're not going to find Andy like this.

Then why don't you tell me how we will?

-Back to the start, now...

-If you want to charge us, then do it!

Otherwise we don't have to be here.

People who say that usually have something to hide.

What are you hiding, Felix?

Detective, maybe we should all just calm down a bit.

I'll take them back to school and we can pick this up again later.

-BATES:

-See you in class, boys. >

-There she is. Let's go.

-OK.

..Thanks for the lift, Mr Bates!

OK, OK, yep. Sit down here.

HE GASPS

Are you sure the talisman can fix this?

It blitzes elemental attacks like nothing else.

Water, fire, earth, air...

..Elements that we all share. HE GRUNTS

Shouldn't it be glowing?

Water, fire, earth, air

Elements that we all share!

CRACKLING

Water, fire...

The spell made it worse.

There has to be something else in here.

-Nai-Nai. No magic.

-In the other universe,

Nai-Nai cured him from the poisoned pickles.

This is more serious than a stomachache!

If the spells are speeding this up then what if one more is too much?

-Nai-Nai.

-Come on.

Dude, you're so heavy...

You want help, you find my grandson.

Please, we'll wash up for a month.

You were in my house. And you.

It was kind of a long story...

That we don't have time to tell.

Then out of my kitchen. Things to do.

Mrs Lau, the more of us looking for Andy,

the better. We need Jake.

OK. You show.

(Way to save the day.)

HE GROANS

Jake, show her.

SHE CRINGES Do you know what's causing it?

Silly boy. Obvious.

-And?

-Too much earth!

-Very bad. Must fix.

-Too much earth? What does that even mean?

And how do we fix it?

Earth balanced by water.

Go now. Must hurry. Go.

Take him to water.

You. Who are you?

I'm Jake's friend.

Too much earth.

You trouble.

So, we need water and a lot of it.

What, we just throw Jake into the river?

Something like that. The bath at my place.

How're we going to get him there? He weighs a tonne.

-The wheelbarrow.

-Nice.

OK.

JAKE GROANS

Too much earth. I don't get it.

The spell, the body of water, the only thing that's different was ...

The new element.

It was you. Has to be.

-But the spell worked. I'm the missing element.

-I know.

What if you're not the water element?

But she has to be magical though, doesn't she?

But if she's not water...?

Whatever she is, she's turning Jake into a giant garden gnome!

-You're an earth element.

-But you said I was water.

That's what Nai-Nai meant. If Jake had an earth overdose,

it's because there was two earth elements in the spell.

-This is not her fault.

-I'm confused.

If Saskia's earth, then why did the tracking spell work?

I don't know.

But she can't come with us.

-I want her there.

-Maybe I can help.

-No way. We can't risk it.

I'm so sorry if this is because of me...

CRACKLING

Stop! I'm filming everything.

-What have you done to Jake?

-It wasn't them.

-Ellen, we can't do this!

-Of course not!

You've got to take Jake somewhere in a wheelbarrow.

-It's all part of the big secret.

-Not now.

Like that magic mumbo jumbo I found in your bag.

-The same that Andy had on his computer.

-You went through my bag?

This is no time for a lovers' tiff, dude. Come on!

JAKE COUGHS

Ah, Felix...

-What's that on his skin?

-Nothing.

I'm calling the police.

-That's not what he needs.

-Like I trust YOU(!)

Felix.

It's glowing like before, when we did the tracking spell.

Ellen was outside the classroom.

And now the talisman's working.

The missing element wasn't Saskia, it's Ellen.

Ellen, you're the one.

Back off, psycho. I'm calling them. You can't stop me.

Water, fire, earth, air...

WHIMPERING

HE GASPS

-You're the missing water element.

-Go away!

Water, fire, earth, air...

Sam, do something! The elements need to be together.

She's too far away!

WHOOSHING

Give it back!

Give it back, now, Sam.

-Water, fire, earth, air...

-What are you doing?

Stop being stupid, Sam!

-Give it back.

-Water, fire, earth, air...

It worked.

Jake? Jake.

He's OK now. Look.

What is going on, Felix? You'd better tell me.

We need you to come with us. To help find Andy.

Why would I go anywhere with you?

Because we'll tell you the truth about everything.

So, we're going to do a spell to go to another universe from your diary?

The Book Of Shadows.

To find Andy, who got vacuumed up into a cloud

when he was trying to increase his magic power?

Well, it was more of a twister, actually.

It's the same universe we were in when we went missing.

I hope that crazy isn't contagious(!)

Take this.

Can you just do what someone says for once?

Means a lot coming from you.

HE SCOFFS

-Ooh...

-Prepare to have your perception altered.

Divinity of the elements

Earth, water, fire, air!

Earth, water, fire, air!

BOTH SCREAM

Nobody thinks it's weird that the detective was behaving like a hobo?

Oh, I get it,

we're in another universe.

Still haven't seen them.

-Teenagers don't just disappear into a forest.

-You'd be surprised.

We need your help. We need to check the hideout. Andy might be there.

Felix, check this out. Chicken feet.

I place offering for ghost boy.

-Important you feed ghosts.

-What about the school?

Andy might have gone back to see his girlfr...

His special friend.

That uber-nerd has a "special friend"?

What happens when two of the same person

from different universes meet?

I don't know, but it can't be good.

The Demon's taken over the whole netball team.

-How could you tell?

-You could tell!
