The Creature The Sparticle Mystery

-We need to bring back the adults!

-This fish symbol is the next clue?

ALL: Whoo!

-Where were you going?

-Watermint Mill.

-Are they talking without speaking?

-Destroy the sword!

Do your worst!

Come on!

That's the same fish symbol that was on the sword.

We know about Watermint Mill. Holly and Serena are way behind.

Watermint Mill, here we come!

-Watch out!

-No, you watch out!

There's a child-eating creature loose in the mill.

-With terrible teeth and claws?

-We don't know exactly.

But my best man Katie's disappeared.

The creature ate her!

-That kind of changes things.

-No, it doesn't, Serena.

If I had a fizzy for every tribe

we ran into playing dress-up and make-believe,

I'd be a fizzy millionaire.

-What's your name?

-Plankton.

If I don't catch enough fish to feed the tribe, I get fed to the trout.

-It's a joke.

-Now listen up, Plankton, and listen carefully

or you will end up in the river.

This fish symbol, where's it copied from? Do you know?

The fish is on one of them old stones in the entrance hall.

What is this place?

Watermint Mill -

once the largest wool mill in the world,

now a public collection maintained by volunteers.

Serena, look! It's the fish symbol.

The one on the sword is on the stone too.

It says these stones were dug up when the mill was built.

Dates back to a Celtic settlement on this site.

-Holly, we're in business.

-But what's the link

between these stones and the Quantum Nexus?

Look, there's a stone missing.

The Artos Stone on loan to Michael Ventriman.

Who's Michael Ventriman?

And why was he interested in the Artos Stone?

There must be a record of the loan in the office.

The place is deserted! The creature's eaten everyone!

There won't really be a creature. It's probably just a rumour.

The quickest route to the office is through the train collection.

Marked in red. Let's... GROWLING

Not go!

What if that boy wasn't making it up and there's something in here?

There is something in here, it's called the Quantum Nexus

and we're going to smash it up before the Sparticles find it

and bring back the adults.

GROWLING

Don't you like the world the way it is?

Could you imagine going to school and having to wear school uniform?

So let's find out

where the missing stone is and whether the sword fits onto it.

Come on!

Liam and Frankie, you guard the treasures.

-Reese, don't forget your...

-Notebook.

-If you can get anything with a fish symbol on it.

-Boring!

-It's not fair!

-The stone head and the key will...

-Help bring back your mum.

-Can you please

stop finishing my sentences?

That's what happens when you've been in a relationship as long as us.

Jeff, we need to talk.

While you chat, Holly and Serena are beating us to the Quantum Nexus.

Rocky's right, let's move it out.

What's the notebook for, Reese?

It's the symbols I memorised from an ancient decoder,

-so I could translate them.

-Be good, Frankie!

If you've already memorised them, why do you need to write them down?

Just for backup in case I forget them.

But I don't expect I will.

We, the tribe of Artos, fled our native home burnt out by...

That looks like the sort of crown Roman Emperors wore.

Yes, that's it, Jeff.

..burnt out by the Romans and set up our new home on the River Artos.

-Save the history lesson for later.

-This is important!

Not that you'd get the finer details of the quest.

I always notice the finer details.

Cut it out, you two!

HEAVY BREATHING

CHATTER

HEAVY BREATHING

Reese, anything about the Quantum Nexus?

No. It says, "Seek the Stone of Artos

"which made us what we are is...recorded here."

What made us what we are is recorded here.

What made us what we are? Who exactly were the Artos?

The most powerful Celtic tribe of all.

Buff always goes on about them.

So what is it that makes them so powerful?

-The Quantum Nexus?

-Which is a big secret.

A big secret written on the Stone of Artos,

which is on loan to Michael Ventriman.

-Who?

-We could ask this lot.

Why are they going on a safari in a mill?

To catch the creature, of course.

See! I told you.

Reese, is there something you've forgotten to tell me?

There's a creature loose in Watermint Mill

that snatches children and eats them.

HEAVY BREATHING

Come on, Liam! Let's go and explore the mill!

The good news is we've managed to trap the creature downstairs.

Wow! Can we see it?

Sorry, love to do the tour, but all we need to do

is find out where one of your Celtic stones is on loan to.

-And then we'll be out of your hair.

-Sure.

-You'll help us?!

-If you say it's important.

We'll show you to the office, it's just downstairs.

The thing is we only said we'd trapped the creature,

we'll need your help to catch it.

WHISPERING

This place is so creepy.

I can feel something.

I'd swear those two are talking to each other.

It's more than we are, isn't it? What's wrong?

Is it cos I didn't want to go into Pea City?

-If it is...

-Jeff, it's not you!

I enjoy making decisions for myself.

I just want to be more my own person.

-I admire that.

-Butt out, will you?!

Hey, touchy!

Are you worried the creature's going to jump out at you!

-Moron!

-HE LAUGHS

Leave it, you two.

-I'll look after it for you.

-I can fix that.

-So can I.

My dad gave me this.

I know. It's the most precious thing you have.

Apart from me, that is.

HEAVY BREATHING

Wow! Somebody likes collecting things.

A bit like us.

ROARING

Impressive sound show.

I don't know, Frank, we're supposed to be guarding the treasure.

Liam, when have you ever been in a place like this?

It's even got old trains.

WHISPERING

-This place is giving me goose bumps.

-What are all these?

Clothes made from the textiles produced here at Watermint Mill.

Our families all volunteered here.

You know a lot for a microbe.

That diving suit was used to maintain the waterwheel.

It took my dad two years to repair it.

SHE YELPS

The creature is following us!

Stalking. Creatures stalk.

You're not helping.

They think there's a creature following them, so let's be one.

-Creature Liam, start stalking.

-Copy, Creature Frankie.

-Now stalking.

-How many children has the creature eaten?

Is that really necessary?

-Just Katie...so far.

-What do you think the creature is?

An escaped zoo animal maybe.

Whatever the creature is, it's through there.

Are you sure there isn't another way into the office?

-Great. Here's the office.

-What's that?

-Nothing.

It's just a kids' den. Where do we start?

-A for Artos.

-What if something lives here

and has been...collecting things?

Maybe it's a giant magpie.

You don't get it, do you? We're in the creature's liar.

Careful!

-You'll make it angry!

-You're making me furious!

Now help me find anything that mentions the Artos Stone.

What was that?

Keep a lookout, it's a fast mover.

-I'm scared, Sadiq.

-Just stick close together.

-Come on, everyone.

-Down here!

-This way.

-Can you feel it getting closer?

Yeah. I don't like it. I don't want to go any further.

-We have to. The creature is like us.

-Ewan, how can you say that?!

It's eaten a child! It's not like us at all!

-Steve!

-Ewan!

Where are the others?

Sadiq?!

The creature! Quick!

-Where are you going?

-It's gone behind the trains. Follow it!

-My shoe!

-It's getting away! Come on!

-Got it!

-There's something in here.

"Thank you for the loan of the Artos Stone."

Signed Michael Ventriman. Blah-blah-blah.

Itchyflax Cottage, Bursfield.

-Holly!

-We passed that place on the way here. Hey, look at this.

The letterhead, look.

The stone head has a body. The stone head is not just a head.

It's a stone person!

-A statue, you mean?

-Yea, that's it, a statue.

This guys been researching the Artos Stone for half his life.

30 years, it says here.

"The Artos Statue has never been found, but I believe

"the location may be revealed on the Stone of Artos,

"hence my request to borrow your exhibit."

Ventriman was looking for a statue.

What's that got to do with the Quantum Nexus?

Reese? Ewan?

-It's Reese's shoe!

-They've been taken!

Let's get out of here!

ALL SCREAM

Is that a creature snack? What is this thing?!

-Losing your nerve, are you?

-Shut up, Jeff! Reese is missing

and there's some kind of lion or oh-celot on the loose!

-Ocelot.

-You know what I meant, Jeff.

-Stop being so pernickety!

-I'm sick of this!

Try to remember you're both part of the same tribe.

Jeff, Rocky, get to the office

and try to find where the Artos Stone is.

Tia, we need to find Reese and Ewan.

Sadiq thought putting the key

into the head would bring back the adults.

But that was only one piece of the statue, right?

So what if putting the statue back together creates the Quantum Nexus?

That's brilliant, Serena!

What about the sword? How does that fit into it?

They have the sword!

-The creature!

-Let's split!

-Wait for me!

-Write down that address, Frankie.

Itchyflax Cottage,...

Bursfield.

ELECTRICITY FIZZES

Wait for me, Ewan. I'm just tying my shoe on.

Don't be scared.

It's very close. Through here!

-Hey! That's ours!

-Not any more it isn't!

Finders keepers! Get out, kid!

-Not so fast!

-Get off!

-Give it back!

-No!

-Let go!

-Argh!

-I'll get the lift!

Quick!

-Where's the exit?

-Get me out of here! It's too creepy!

You didn't believe in a creature?

-That was before it attacked us.

-ROARING

-It came from in front of us!

-No, behind!

-We're lost, Serena!

-You made us come in here!

I don't like it in here.

-What do you think?

-Over there!

Look, that's Reese's net!

Reese?!

What's that?!

-It's a child's clothes!

-SHE GASPS

The creature!

ROARING

BOTH SCREAM

-What's happening?!

-There's been a power cut.

I can't... I can't breathe!

-We're going the wrong way!

-You reckon?

You do realise Tia doesn't want to be with you any more?

She's just too nice to tell you.

You wish!

It's obvious.

Ever since you forced your way into the Sparticles,

you've been trying to split me and Tia up!

Correction! I've not had to do anything.

You've been making a twonk out of yourself without any help from me.

Right, that's it!

It's not a fair fight,

but if you ever do that again, I will lay you out!

Give me that! She'll kill me if I lose that necklace!

Like I said, it's not a fair fight!

-Reese? Ewan?

-Reese, where are you?

Reese?

Reese?!

The creature's through here in the old cinema.

ROARING

-I'm getting pulled in here.

-So am I!

ROARING

What's that?!

It's the creature!

-No, that's its shadow.

-It must be somewhere else!

You are such an idiot!

Everything you say makes me even more determined to prove you wrong.

Have you ever been swimming in a fast-flowing river?

Have you got the faintest idea what to do with that diving suit?

-Thought not.

-I'm going to get Tia's necklace back.

Of course you are.

Ewan, I can't breathe!

-I'm going to die!

-No, you're not, Frankie, it just feels like it.

Pull yourself together, you stupid girl!

Best way to deal with a panic attack is to shock someone out of it.

OK. But don't ever call me a stupid girl ever again.

Sorry, Frankie, you know I didn't mean it.

Here.

Reese?!

-Ohh!

-Tia!

Stay here.

-What's that, Ewan?

-It's the creature!

Come on!

This is an emergency!

Can anyone hear me? Is anyone there?

Help us! Please! Is anyone there?

Help us! Please!

We're stuck!

-We've found the creature!

-No!

-ALL CHANT:

-We found the creature!

We found the creature!

GIRL GASPS

SHE SCREAMS

'We're stuck! We're stuck in the lift.'

Help us. Please!

-Liam, can you hear me?

-Rocky!

-I can help.

Yes!

Mind the head!

No! Get out!

Liam, quick!

Shut the door!

Reese, no!

It's the creature!

No, we're the creature.

Then what's that?!

-Jeffrey!

-What have you got on your heads?

-What have WE got on OUR heads?

-Liam, shush!

Jeffrey, can you breathe in a confined space filled with

-potentially lethal gasses?

-Er, if I use my oxygen tank, yes.

Why?

The stone head is in that lift.

But I've only got one tank, and I need that to rescue Tia's necklace.

But we need the head.

-It's part of a statue.

-That could be the Quantum Nexus.

Can you go in there, Jeffrey? Can you?

-'Let us help you.'

-Reese!

-'Take our hands.'

Reese! Reese!

She can't hear you, Sadiq.

MAN IN DISTANCE: 'Ellie? Ellie, where are you?'

WOMAN: 'Come on, darling...'

CACOPHONY OF SPEECH

'What's happening?'

'I think it's a vortex - a powerful wormhole into the adults' universe.'

'They're alive!'

'I want to see my mum. Huen, tune in.'

-WOMAN IN DISTANCE:

-'Anna! Anna!'

Mum.

'It's my mum. We've found her.'

She's talking to her parents.

Mum, it's me, Reese.

Mum...

Can you see me? Can you hear me?

No! Tune into her harder.

'I want to bring Mummy back. Help me.'

Mum!

Mummy! It's Reese.

Hello, darling.

-Can you really see me?

-I've missed you.

I've missed you too. Are you expecting a baby?

I'd love a sister.

Daddy!

If it's a girl, can we call her Reese?

Mum!

Daddy, come back!

We've got to get out of here.

Run! Come on!

So obviously not a creature!

You won't believe what I've just seen.

Run for it!

CHILDREN SCREAM

Who are you?

I tried and tried to warn my tribe about the cinema,

but they wouldn't believe me. I had to scare them away.

Hang on. You pretended to be a creature

so your tribe thought you'd been eaten by one?

I had to stop them going into the cinema.

Something horrible in there was hurting me -

-I didn't want it to hurt my friends.

-They can't feel the things we can.

'It's not the cinema - it's you.'

Katie, you're a sensitive, like we are.

I think you're acting like a lightning conductor

between the dimensions, and we kind of super-magnified it.

Yeah, the vortex turned you into this wicked creature.

Shame about not being a people-eater,

but, hey, you can't have it all.

-You're weird.

-You should have seen yourself. Awesome!

If you stay out the cinema, you should be fine.

You wait till I tell everyone there is no creature.

-The creature got hold of Reese and another kid!

-Weird is as weird does.

-Reese was talking to her parents.

-But did you see them?

-No.

Exactly. It works for us, though - if Reese holds up the Sparticles

while we zoom ahead.

They haven't got a clue where to go next. Only we know that.

-Itchyflax Cottage, here we come.

-The race is back on.

And the Sparticles are fish food.

Holly and Serena have got the sword.

How? It was dissolved in the acid block.

But it looked shinier than ever.

-And they got a name of some man who got a stone.

-But we got it too.

-And we wrote down the address.

-OK, that's good work.

Maybe I'll overlook the fact that you both left your stations

-and the head was nicked.

-No, it's rubbed off my hand.

Can you remember it?

No.

-Are your tribe angry with you?

-They think we're heroes.

I told them we chased the creature away.

I get how you did the shadows on the screen, but that really loud

creature sound - like a wild animal - how did you do that?

I used all the old projection and sound equipment in the cinema.

I ran films backwards to make the sounds.

My mum restored the old cinema. She was a projectionist here.

Will be one again, if you can get the adults back from where they are.

I saw them, I saw your mum.

But the second time we tuned into her, she didn't recognise me.

-It can't have been Mum.

-But she looked exactly like you.

-And she was going to call her baby Reese.

-It doesn't make sense.

There are only two dimensions - ours and the one with the adults

in it, as they were on the day of the disappearance.

So how come we saw your mum, before you were born,

-when she was pregnant?

-I don't know.

OK, guys.

Let's hit the road, huh? We need to follow the candy cruiser.

Ah, Huen, it's the end of the tour for you, buddy.

-BOTH:

-'We are one and we are strong.'

Er, Reese, why don't you bring your new friends on the quest?

The more the merrier.

I'm going to stay with the nemos and help take care of Watermint Mill.

But wait...

Thank you for explaining about...

-well, the stuff I'll never really understand.

-It's beautiful.

-And old.

I prised it from one of the ancient stones at the entrance.

I'll treasure it. Thank you, Katy Creature.

Tia...

It's about the necklace.

I lost it.

Jeff?

I'm sorry.

Just like that? "I'm sorry"?

That necklace was the only thing I had left to remind me of Dad.

There was only enough oxygen in the dive suit to rescue the head.

I had to make a choice -

to get the necklace out of the river or rescue the head from the lift.

What was the necklace doing in the river?!

Rocky threw it in there.

Why would he do that?

Exactly! Why would I do that? Come on, Jeff.

You dropped it in the drink,

when you were boasting about Tia being your girlfriend.

-Don't try blaming it on me.

-You're a liar!

-Stop it!

Rocky, just give us some space.

Sure.

Jeff...

I think I'd like to step back from the relationship.

Tia...

I'll always love you as a friend.

I'll always love you.

It's like sardines, innit? You want to grab yourself a beam.

-I can't find my notebook.

-Don't worry, Reese.

You didn't need it anyway, did you?

Where to?

I absolutely do not have a clue.

Liam? Frankie? Is this the address?

Itchyflax Cottage, Bursfield?

-BOTH:

-Itchyflax Cottage! That's it!

I think we just got lucky.

And maybe I did, too.

The race to the Quantum Nexus is back on.

THEY ALL CHEER

KIDS CHEER

-Bye!

-See you soon!

BOTH: We don't like you.

-There's something wrong. I think Jeffrey's hurt.

-To the stock!

It's called an unfair advantage.

Erm, ladies, the tournament hasn't started yet.

If I can't remember how to decode this, then the quest, it's over.

-It's a trap, Sadiq!

-Speak up or face the consequences.

Arrest them all!

FLY BUZZES

We don't like him.
