Episode 6 Nowhere Boys

Come on. Hurry up.

What is this place?

It's a secret library with books like magic spells.

You know about magic?

-You can do it?

-It's not that simple.

They will do it soon, I promise.

The heading says dimensional return, but...

The page is gone.

The other book we found, the same spell is in this book too!

We each have to offer up something of our heart's desire.

The world debut of triple threat Jesse Banda.

That's your heart's desire?

More than you can imagine.

I know what it is. It's the same one spot.

Ow, that hurt!

We need his heart's desire, that's all.

Not if you were the last guy left on this planet.

We have to do the spell to take us home.

-ALL:

-Our hearts' desire

calling us home. With powers combined,

let the separated dimensions entwine.

Come on, girls, let's go.

THEY ALL SHOUT

Run, run!

Bring it down. Run, run, run!

Go, Nicco!

WHISTLE BLOWS AND CROWD GROAN

Penalty kick.

Focus, Nicco, we've done it before.

Go, Nicco. You've got this.

-CROWD CHANT: Nicco! Nicco! Nicco!

-You can do it.

CHANTING FADES

CROWD CHEER

You did it! You got the goal!

You did it! You did it! We practised that move at home.

-We should celebrate.

-Yeah, totally.

-Pizza at Little Gino's?

-I'm in.

Awesome. I love pizza.

Hey, Kayla, tell Mum where I am.

Oh, sure.

But I thought we were hanging out together?

We will. Later, OK?

Come on. You and me can hang.

-Hey, Kayla.

-Come on, Nicco!

Come on!

We're home.

He did it.

Come on, come on, come on.

How do I fix this?

-PLAYER:

-Heads up!

-They're training.

-I'm going to go join them.

-Hey, where are you going?

Shouldn't we like debrief or...

..tell someone or something?

-Guys, I've got to go.

-So you're just getting on with stuff?

I've already missed out on so much. I just want to get back to normal.

-I'll call.

-What, like it never happened?

We went. It was crazy bizarre. We're back.

What else are we supposed to do?

-I guess, but...

-Later.

Nicco, come on.

I need to get changed.

OK. I'm going home.

Later, dudes.

Boring life as we know it, here we come.

I shouldn't have too tell you that writing in shaving cream

on Mr North's car isn't OK.

Business as usual then.

Laying down the law like nothing ever happened.

Cos to her, nothing has.

-Look.

-You can debate this in detention this afternoon

-and might I suggest...

-She's back to being vice principal.

Yes. This is great.

Definitely, cos she was terrifying as principal.

Hey, did you eat?

Cos I could totally eat.

-Thanks, Mum.

-You're buying, moneybags.

Sweet. She never gives me money.

Have you got enough, Jesse?

Nothing wrong with carb-loading after multi-dimensional travel.

Could you be any more disgusting?

I could not shower for another week.

Loser.

Who'd have thought it'd be so good to be home?

Oi! Do you people not have homes to go to?

Not sure, sir, I'd have to check.

Enough of the cheek. And those science reports are due tomorrow,

-no excuses.

-No way.

It's like they don't remember anything.

It's random, hey?

There's Claudia. I'll catch you later.

Hey.

Claude. Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

-We talked about the hugging.

-I will never take you for granted again.

-Like ever.

-That's really great and everything,

but you were supposed to be in make up ages ago.

-What are you talking about?

-This is not funny, Jesse.

Remember, first step Bremin, next step Broadway.

Don't mess with me, Banda.

You have to be in dress rehearsal right now.

"Lost In The Forest: The Story Of The Bremin Four.

"A Jesse Banda musical?"

This is a thing? It's happening?

-We're supposed to open in six weeks!

-It's not funny.

What's the catch? This is way too good to be true.

There is no catch, there's only being late,

-so we have to go.

-But...

Look, you're nervous.

I mean, that's totally understandable

but this is your last dress rehearsal.

It's your last chance to meet up with the cast and there is no way

that I'm listening to you whinge about how Miguel missed his cue

-for the next year.

-You're right.

Miguel does have the memory span of a guinea pig.

Yeah.

This is amazing.

-I'm home.

-Guess what?

The architect dropped off the plans.

Since when do we have an architect?

This is where the games room will be.

We're renovating?

-How did this happen?

-Now that we own it, we may as well make it our own.

-We're staying?

-And I've sold your mum on your loft bedroom, too.

This is incredible.

Hey, there.

Mum!

-What did you do?

-Nothing.

-Dad?

-Hello, boyo.

-What are you doing here?

-Don't tell me, detention again?

He brought the cannoli we love.

So much for my diet!

He knows me too well.

-DOORBELL RINGS

-That'll be Brooklyn.

What?

I mean, excuse me?

I told you I invited her over.

Oh, don't worry.

No embarrassing little Heath stories.

Maybe one or two, mate.

-Is everything OK?

-Yeah, why wouldn't it be?

You and Mum together in the same room?

-Hi, Stuart.

-Hi, Brooklyn.

-Hey.

-Hey.

I thought...

You're not mad with me?

In what universe am I not mad with you?

You are a totally maddening person.

It's true.

Maddening. Totally.

I made you this.

It's our playlist.

It's all our songs.

-You sure you're OK?

-Is it lame?

-SHE SIGHS

-It is. You hate it.

No, I love it.

I mean it's... It's cool.

That's it. Keep up the pace.

-Light and nimble...

-Sorry I'm late.

-..ladies, that's what we like.

Remember, make the ball do the work.

-Hey.

-Oh, hi.

You OK? You got back all right?

I'm fine, but why are you here?

What?

-What's going on?

-Niccolina, can we talk?

You're off the team.

What do you mean off the team? I'm your best player.

That's not fair!

-How can you drop me?

-You dropped us.

"My heart's not in it" - that's what you said in front of everyone.

No, really?

I said that? When?

Three days ago. After school on this very spot, actually.

I don't understand.

You have to put me back on the team.

-I have to play.

-Do I?

What would you have me say to the girl that's replaced you?

I'm sorry, Nicco, it's too late.

OK, girls. That was a good session.

Right, now, for next time, let's...

Jesse, something really nuts has happened.

I'll say, but now isn't a great time.

Why not? Where are you?

My musical. We're opening tomorrow.

-Can you believe it?

-No, I can't.

-That's not possible.

-I know, but it is.

-This is my dream come true.

-Oh.

What? That's what I need to talk to you about.

Something really strange is going on.

It's like everyone thinks we've been here the whole time.

-Jesse!

-I've got to go.

-Come see the show.

-No, Jesse, wait!

Dress rehearsal in ten minutes.

All right, so as you can see, we've got most of the lights set up there.

-We want them shining. Got it?

-Sure.

-Fast as you can.

-We've got a tight schedule.

-Where's Jesse?

CLAUDE SIGHS

He only responds to Felix, it's actually method acting.

No, really, I need to talk to him.

Sorry, I can't let you through.

Get out of the way, Claude.

Nicco, he said no interruptions.

Jesse, we need to talk.

What do you think? Too much eyeliner or just right?

-This time thing...

-Where is my black lipstick?

Who stole my black lipstick?

Jesse, this is really important.

Jesse, you will not believe this.

Quinn says your parents are flying in for the opening night

-from Singapore.

-No way!

JESSE STARTS SINGING CHORDS

# We had lost any hope

# of ever being found

# Our Paw Paw cream ran out

# We were frightened by every sound

# Their were storm clouds

# Strong winds We were all alone

# There was no-one we could call

# Because we...

# Because we couldn't use our phones

# But then we pulled together

# Courageous to the core

# We tracked the river home

# and became the Bremin Four

# We tracked the river home

# And became the Bremin Four. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Yeah!

-Nice one, Jesse.

-Go, Jesse!

I'm really glad you came around.

You're lucky. Wish my parents were as user-friendly.

They're not always like that.

You got them on a good night.

PHONE RINGS

You can get it if you want.

VIDEO GAME GUNFIRE

Boom, you win again! What's that?

-18 straight?

-Yeah, I can't seem to lose.

You've been practising while I've been at the gym, haven't you?

Yeah. Got me.

HIS PHONE RINGS

Nicco. Hey.

Hey. Is everything OK?

Everything's great. Why wouldn't it be?

Nothing seems different?

No. Things are great, why?

Erm, well, Jesse's musical is happening

and also he seems to be back with Brooklyn,

so I was just wondering if it's the same with you.

One more game before Mum gets back?

She's bringing your favourite apple crumble back from Nan's.

-I've got to go. I'll talk to you later.

-OK.

What are you doing?

A quiz. What animal are you?

Of course I'm a warthog.

Who wants to be a warthog?

Grey, boring, practically invisible in their natural habitat.

Well, you must be doing it wrong.

Here.

No, you're definitely warthoggy.

That is mean.

Hey, no, no, no, on the bright side, warthogs are strong,

courageous and they have an excellent sense of smell.

You are a mean person.

I bet you I'm a tiger.

More like one of those snappy little shih-tzu dogs.

-Er, tiger.

-Shih-tzu.

-Tiger.

-Shih-tzu.

-I'm a tiger.

-Shih-tzu.

-Tiger.

-Shih-tzu.

-THEY LAUGH

Tiger.

This is fun!

Sorry, did I hit you in the head?

No, really.

-These are great.

-I made them.

-Oh, really cute.

-I can show you how to make them.

The kit's in my room.

OK.

Hmm?

What?

Nicco, are you coming?

Wake up.

Please wake up.

Totally on a roll.

I can't see the problem.

Don't ruin this for me, Nicco.

But nothing makes sense.

Those bracelets don't make sense.

So not your style.

Kayla made them for me. We hung out last night.

That's besides the point, OK. Something's not right.

Heads again. Can't lose.

We're home and everything is great.

-That's what matters.

-You don't think it's a little too great?

So things are better than when we left.

Hey, did I tell you?

-My parents bought the house.

-Brilliant!

How sick is that?

-And my room's a loft.

-Think about it,

we all put in our hearts' desires for that spell.

You put in your keys and your audition form.

This can't be a coincidence.

You can see that, right?

Buying the house, the musical, parents showing up.

We all know what you got.

Hey, don't fix what ain't broke.

Maybe it's just a quirk of dimension-hopping.

I think someone didn't get their heart's desire.

I would never quit football.

I just wouldn't. That's how I know that this isn't right.

-Are you serious?

-It's a bit strange Brooklyn's not mad at me.

She was always mad with me.

-Er...

-Whoa! What?

-Everyone see that?

That's definitely not...

Normal?

And I just got 17 heads in a row.

That's way too good to be true.

OK, I'm listening. What do you think is going on?

I think something went wrong with Ben's spell.

Has anyone seen him?

-No, I haven't.

-Me either.

Don't you think it's a bit suss we haven't seen him?

Do you think there's something else going on?

-We need to find him.

-You guys check here,

we'll check his place.

Heath, hurry up.

This is Ben's place.

He's probably inside geeking out in front of his computer.

You know Ben.

That's the thing - do we know Ben, really?

It's happening again.

This is crazy. Why is it happening?

Every time we question something, and doubt if it's real, then...

Things get spooky. So what do we do?

We need to find another spell.

The secret room at school?

There was this spell for seeing stuff you're looking for.

Found it. It's called a Scrying Pool

We're all supposed to think of Ben and then the spell will show us

-where he is.

-Of course it will.

Would it kill you to help?

Ben, Ben, where are you?

Wait, can we even do magic without Ben?

One way to find out.

By staring into overpriced spring water?

Let's do this.

Elements reveal and show

what I seek,

what I must know.

Yep, that worked.

HE LAUGHS QUIETLY

Elements, reveal and show

what I seek,

what I must know.

THEY HOLD IN LAUGHTER

Come on, Ben. Where are you?

THEY TITTER

Hey, focus.

THEY GASP

Hang on, that's us.

What the...?

It's Ben. His grandpa.

His dead grandpa.

That can't be right.

Were we sleeping?

But if that's us in that world, then how can we be here?

-Unless we're...

-Dreaming?

Together at the same time?

A dream version of us.

We have to get back there.

How? We don't even know how we got here.

How do you stop a dream?

-You wake yourself up.

-So, then that's what we do.

I'm not going to like this, am I?

Can you let them go? This isn't what I wanted.

You said the spell would bring everyone back.

HE SOBS: How do I fix this?

Divinity of the elements, I summon thee -

air, fire, water and earth -

aiding my quest, I call you forth.

LOUD GRINDING Grandpa!

Why are you doing this?

Wait, there has to be another way.

Man up, Princess.

-On three.

-One, two, three.

Wait, stop!

THEY LAUGH

Sorry, but I had a better idea.

You said on three.

Why didn't Jesse wake up?

I think it's more about the dream than the waking up.

So we reject the dream and...?

And that will break the spell that brought us here.

Yeah.

I don't need to own a house to belong.

-Luke, you're glitching.

-I think it's working.

If it's not real,

I don't want it.

We need to talk about your accessorising.

I don't need to be the best at everything.

-I don't feel anything.

-Why didn't it work?

Nicco, that's not your heart's desire.

-What is?

-I don't know.

-Really?

-Why don't I know? You guys all know.

Just think what's made you happy here.

My sister.

But she made these for me.

I don't want to throw them away.

-NICCO GROANS

-I feel so weird.

-Then it worked.

-Come on, Jesse, there's no time.

-It's not real.

-It felt like it was.

It felt like everything made sense.

Jesse, you have to.

But what if this is the best it gets?

-Jesse, just do it.

-You have to.

I loved that headshot.

It's Ben's grandpa.

Whoa.

-What is he doing?

-I don't think he's meditating.

GROWLING Whoa.

He's turning into the black thing!

Guys, what are you doing?

He's attacking!

No!

Grandpa, don't, they're my friends!

-How do we stop him?

-I don't know!

What was that?

-Is everyone OK?

-Apart from the creepy swarming grandpa particles!

You guys, you're OK.

No thanks to you, Ben.

What did you do to us with that spell?

-What happened?

-Why are we on the ground?

He burnt my book.

-Where are we?

-Why are we here?

What happened to your hair?

What, mine?

-What about yours?

-What's going on?

It's a long story.

-Better be good.

-Fess up, Ben.

I can explain.

I have the real spell.

-It's here somewhere.

-For dimensional return?

I'm sure I left it under the skull.

You gave us the wrong spell?

I swear I didn't know that would happen.

Grandpa told me it would fix everything.

I tore the page out of Felix's book

and I wrote Grandpa's spell in my book.

Ben turned us into creepy dream people.

-He said things would go back to normal.

-Who did?

-Grandpa.

-I thought I was doing a good thing.

-By lying to us?

He lied to me too.

He said he'd bring everyone back.

Can you step on it?

Yeah, Ben, we really need to get out of here.

-Here it is.

-The real one?

So, it fits.

And this spell will definitely get us home?

Yes, with your elemental presences.

Uh, yeah, we're still working on that.

You're water. Nicco - earth,

Heath - fire, Luke - air.

I want to be fire.

Fire's more fun.

-And you know this how?

-I figured it out from Felix's Book of Shadows.

Look, we've got the spell.

Let's just get this done.

We're trusting you.

I know.

I promise you, this is the right spell.

It will work.

Hey, Brooklyn, save me a seat.

-In your dreams.

-She hates me again.

-It worked.

-We are actually home.

How much spookier can it get?

Erm, Luke, I don't want to freak you out right now

but do you realise you're levitating?

-What do I do?

-Stop panicking!

You are the one panicking, Jesse!

Is crazy stuff happening to you?

No, can't think of anything.

I think I have a superpower.

Hey, that's savage.

I just feel Ben knows more than he's saying.

He's just acting super weird.

He's always been like that.

-Nothing wrong with it.

-We're here with Ben and he reckons that...

-Wait. What?

-We're with Ben.

No, I mean Ben's here with us.

-If we don't stop him...

-What are you doing?

-He's a shape shifter!
