The Keeper The Sparticle Mystery

We've got a plan to send back Kylie and the teen parents.

These are seven ley line intersections.

And we need seven Sensitives to stand on them.

We've just got the final Sensitive to pick up there

at the Circle of Perpetual Time.

Reese will be right here in the centre when that comet passes over.

It comes from the Orion constellation

and is made from luminite.

So, that is where they're getting their power from.

And that central point is where we'll set up our transmitter

to broadcast the power-blocking signal...

Witch. Witch. Witch.

..and block out the Witch Children.

She hasn't found the location of the Circle of Perpetual Time.

Neither have we.

We were about to send Kylie home, then something broke our powers.

Or someone.

The Sparticles abducted you and brainwashed you

into thinking I'm the enemy.

I'd never let him betray the Sparticles.

Who knows what he'll remember when he wakes up?

Erimon, she's a monster!

I hate her!

Betrayed! By my own brother!

Despatch my brother and Dora out on the road.

I must have that transmitter to stop the Witch Children!

-How long until the comet arrives, Ern?

-Eight minutes.

-What?!

-Sorry, no. That's the time between Holly's contractions.

The comet's due in six hours.

We need to get Holly to proper shelter.

We can't divert. We have to get to the Circle of Perpetual Time

and find the final Sensitive

before the comet arrives!

If you think Holly is delivering her baby

in the back of a rusty tin can, with an audience, then think again!

But we only have six hours.

It's all right, Holly, we'll find shelter.

Which way now?

Left or right?

Reese, you have the map.

The Circle of Perpetual Time. That's where we need to be.

-Yes, but where, exactly, Reese?

-I don't know.

We haven't solved the riddle on Orion's chart.

"Time Never Dies."

I just assumed, when we got here,

we'd be drawn to the seventh Sensitive

and then we'd work out the rest.

-Well...?

-I'm not feeling anything.

I am.

-It's right.

-I can't sense it.

EERIE GURGLING NOISE

Yes, I am being pulled!

Right.

Sadiq, I...

If Reese says right, then it's right.

What about Holly? There are buildings up to the left.

Serena?

Sadiq, are you up to making decisions?

Look, I had a bang to my head and forgot some stuff.

Some stuff? Including breaking up with me?

I did?

Which direction are we going?

We're going right.

-Reese is never wrong.

-But Holly's about to give birth!

We need to split the tribe. It's the best solution.

Why don't you go with Ern, Holly and Kim?

-But I should go with Reese and Aris.

-No, I will.

You're not yourself and we can't take risks on the mission.

Ern, keep an eye on Sadiq.

Those buildings up ahead,

that's where you are going to give birth, Holly.

The sea!

Turn left!

Turn left!

Pedal faster, will you!

I bet your flat tyre's cost us the lead on the Sparticles.

I expect they'll be at the centre lining up the witches already!

Hurry up!

When is a knock not a knock?

Wow... You're... You're old!

And you're rude.

I thought all the grown-ups had gone.

So what's he?

The last Sensitive?

He's a bit ancient to be a Sensitive.

He has ears.

As I said, when is a knock not a knock?

Well? Cat got your tongues?

I don't know. When is a knock not a knock?

A knock is not a knock when it's not knocked!

Well, you don't look like delivery drivers.

I don't get you.

I don't get me, either.

Where is the power for my lamp?

Er...what lamp?

Why am I still here if not to light up the sky?

There!

Teenqueen to Duran Duran.

I'm at the centre

and I've found the perfect high position for the transmitter.

It will boost the neuroscrambler.

Where are you, Erimon?

On our way.

Slowly, on foot.

The trolls took our tuk-tuk.

But...we're good.

Tell me where you are and I'll send my rickshaw to pick you up.

By the sea. We've just turned left.

DRIVER GROANS

Do you think she knows?

I don't think she suspects a thing.

And in a few hours' time, Kylie will be back in 1981.

Let's just do whatever it is we have to do to stay together

and then break that awful neuroscrambler.

Come in, Cookie Cream.

Calling Cookie Cream.

STATIC ON WALKIE-TALKIE

Why are you the only adult left on earth?

Time has all the answers

but, when you demand time, you never seem to get any.

That's the one.

Where are you going with those keys?

What if he's the last Sensitive? I can't let him out of my sight.

We'll keep in touch.

Frankie...!

Reese...!

-Don't let Aris see you.

-Frankie...!

Frankie, what's going on?

I had to get you away from Aris.

Keep your head down.

I think he's working for Kylie and he's a spy.

What? That's crazy!

Is it? I've been collecting these sweet wrappers Aris keeps dropping.

I found some in Kylie's room at the haunted house.

And then more on the troll bridge,

in his jacket.

Well, so what?

Kylie has a sweet tooth.

I saw Aris eating one of the same sweets just now, Reese.

Why would someone who hates Kylie take sweets from her?

You think Aris still believes Kylie is his teen mum?

Exactly.

But Sadiq rescued Aris from her on the troll bridge.

Did he? Or was it just made to look like that?

Aris is my friend.

But if Aris still believes that Kylie's his mum,

then he'll be doing whatever she tells him.

Like mindblocking you to make us go the wrong way.

But I felt the pull of the seventh Sensitive.

I think you felt the pull of bad boy Aris.

We need to break his hold on your mind.

Get a move on, troopers!

Kylie...!

Don't do it.

I'm your friend!

You promised to do whatever I asked.

Now, keep your promise.

After Dora and Erimon arrive and set up the transmitter,

I want them arrested!

A million years old, a million stories told,

but never a tale to tell me why I am here.

Why am I here?

Perpetual thyme.

Perpetual TIME?

Yes, it's a herb.

It keeps on growing, keeps on going.

Old thyme,

old-timer.

Round in circles.

Round in circles.

No beginning. No end.

Endlessly perpetuating...

This is my Circle of Perpetual Thyme.

The Circle of Perpetual Thyme...!

I thought I was the deaf one.

Find the keys to this door! They've got to be here somewhere.

Move it!

Troopers!

What? Where?

Is it the Bosh? Dive!

I went over the top and survived. I went under the sea and I dived.

I went through the Somme, I helped drop the bomb.

I'm sure you did, but can you, please, be quiet?

The enemy is outside.

Righty-ho, got it.

-Rebel Rebel to Keema Kebab.

-Keema Kebab.

I'm with the lighthouse keeper.

-Kylie's here.

-I know. I just saw her.

The troopers are heading to the front of the cottage.

I'll meet you out round the back by the Spartivan.

Don't leave this shed.

Wilco.

Rebels don't use steps.

I'm definitely being pulled.

GURGLING SOUND Me, too.

Ooops...! Sorry.

-Well?

-I'm not being pulled in this direction any more.

-What's going on?

-You tell me!

Rebel Rebel to Cookie Cream.

Cookie Cream reading Rebel Rebel.

I think we've found our seventh Sensitive

and the Circle of Perpetual Thyme!

Turn back and head due east to the lighthouse.

They've found the last Sensitive.

This way!

But that's the wrong way!

If they've found the Sensitive, we must be wrong.

Aris, you do know Kylie isn't your real mum?

I just can't believe Aris could be a secret agent for Kylie.

You mean, you don't want to believe it.

Oi! Hey, let us out!

BANGING

We are definitely in the right place, Sadiq.

We've just got to keep following this road.

What for?

Queen Kylie left us with the trolls.

Face it, Dad, we're surplus to requirements.

Try her one more time.

Bounty Hunter to Teenqueen.

Bounty Hunter to Teenqueen.

Come in, please.

Thank goodness! Where are you?

We're lost as lost boys on a lost weekend in Lostwithiel.

You?

At the centre. But my troopers have gone missing.

I think the Sparticles are here.

Not all of them, Your Maj.

Not all of them.

We're about to pick up two of the little Witch Children.

Reese and Aris.

Fantastic!

I have use for them,

alive and undamaged.

Follow the coast road to the lighthouse. And hurry!

Afternoon.

ELECTRICAL CRACK

Darling...

Thank you.

It's a herb.

Perpetual thyme.

The old man grows it.

Perpetual TIME?

In his herb garden.

His Circle of Perpetual Thyme.

The old man is the seventh Sensitive.

And the Circle of Perpetual TIME is the herb garden?

Yep.

If Reese and Aris get here in time

to stand at the Circle and link up...

We can do this!

Sadiq, are you ready for a reconnaissance mission?

Sadiq?

Sure.

She was there,

at the bridge.

Kylie. She was there with some big, square machine.

The neuroscrambler. Maybe she used it on you, Sadiq?

And there was someone else.

We have to focus on the mission, Sadiq.

Ern...

I can stay.

They need you. I've got Kim.

I'll be back for the birth.

Come and find me when it's time.

Love you.

Back at you.

If I was working for Kylie, then why would I be her prisoner?

You're a secret agent. A bad one.

You left a trail.

Kylie isn't your real mum and she's doesn't care about you.

She wiped your memory and filled it with stories.

We're going to be rich, Dad.

I'm going to buy a large country mansion.

Sounds good.

To live in.

On my own.

Once we've delivered those Witch children,

our bounty-hunting business will soon be at an end, won't it?

Yeah, but, me and you...

We're still a team, aren't we?

Dad?

I'm not your dad.

Several million Kylies owing, ma'am.

Payment on delivery.

Lock them up somewhere.

One of those cottages over there.

And find my troopers.

They went missing looking for the keys to the lighthouse.

I must have those keys!

Bounty-hunting just a bit longer, Dad!

I told you, I'm not working for Kylie.

I told you to stay put.

Where's the power for my light?

You are spoiling the element of surprise.

Sorry, old boy.

KNOCKING

Argh! It's the day of reckoning!

ELECTRICAL CRACK

Argh! Argh! Ah! Ah!

Aris, come back!

The lighthouse keys.

Don't do it!

Don't do it. I'm your friend!

Aris!

Where is he?

He's taken the keys to the lighthouse!

And I've remembered what happened on the troll bridge.

Aris is a traitor working for Kylie.

Well done, my little prince.

Out the way, sis.

Got a transmitter to install.

Dora! Good journey?

Super.

We've got the perfect high position for the transmitter.

A lighthouse slap bang in the middle of the centre.

The signal reach will be perfect.

You've got 50 minutes to get everything up and working.

But why do you still need it, Mummy, when you've got me?

Aris? What's going on, Kylie?

What's going on is we're not taking any chances.

Help me upstairs with that. Both of you!

You're doing really well.

Just stay calm and your baby will, too.

I've never felt this before. I just want my...

You want your mum.

Just now.

Just once. For me.

Well, you can't have your adult mum.

But...

..how about your teen mum?

When did you find out?

Right at the beginning of the mission. When I phoned Truthline.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I guessed you already knew, but didn't want to acknowledge it.

You're not angry?

Furious.

It's been brilliant being able to get to know my future daughter,

but being able to love her as my best friend.

Here comes another one.

Mum...!

And breathe.

Aris is loyal to his "mum".

She's got him.

-Here.

-But he's been part of our tribe!

How could he betray us like that?

I can't believe Aris defected

just before we had the full set of Sensitives!

Where's the last Sensitive?

He's the Sensitive?

What is this?

A special type of thyme that never dies.

"TIME never dies."

That's from this!

Maybe it was spelt wrong. Thyme the herb.

Reese, that is the Circle of Perpetual TIME.

We thought time meant time, as in hours in the day,

but it must have meant thyme.

-Thyme with a "Y". The herb thyme.

-Now you're talking my language.

Nonsense, you mean?

Oh, dear... Time's running slow.

I knew butter wouldn't suit the works. Is it time yet?

Please, Mr Keeper, we have something urgent to do with our time

rather than waste it talking riddles.

If you knew time as I do, you wouldn't talk about wasting it.

It's me.

Can you get him linked up?

Because we're seriously running out of time! Time-time.

But Holodora did the exact calculations

and we need seven Sensitives.

We're missing Aris and...

The feeling I'm getting isn't like anything I have experienced.

Maybe that's because he's super-powerful

and we won't need Aris after all.

I hope you're right.

You must go back to the Sparticles.

But I can't, Mummy! Reese has guessed I'm working for you.

We need time to set up the transmitter.

Aris, you've just told me about the old man.

Maybe he's enough to send Mummy home.

You don't want that, do you?

No. Mummy.

-Transmitters on, Kylie.

-Won't take long to set this up.

The comet hour is in about 40 minutes.

You must go back or Mummy will be sent home

and will never see her handsome little prince.

Do it for me, my son.

-Aris...

-Leave him!

Bye, darling!

Run now.

I want to see the transmitter!

Why did Kylie make Aris go back to them?

Why?

BANGING

Come on!

Where have you been?

Kylie, what are you doing?

You think I don't know about your treasonous behaviour,

my loyal brother?

That I don't know about your plan to send me back to the 1980s?

-Erimon...

-Ah... I do like a love story.

But not when it interferes with my plan for global domination!

And once my enemies, the Witch Children, are mind-wiped,

I will be unstoppable!

-But you can't do that.

-Oh, yes, I can.

When the luminite comet arrives, I will turn on the neuroscrambler.

Then...

And this is the really clever bit.

What is the really clever bit, Kylie?

..I turn this little beauty up to 11

and the luminite will boost its power

to superfry seven witchy brains!

That's not possible, is it? Dora?

My goodness... Theoretically, yes.

That's why you didn't keep Aris here.

You sent him back to join up with the others

so you could wipe them all out, including him!

He thinks he's your son.

My own sister...

Truly evil.

Shall I break it now, Erimon,

and let the Sensitives send us home?

We'll bob home to Mum and Dad in 1981.

OK with you?

No, Kylie! No! I don't want to go home.

I want to stay here with Dora.

Dora?

Happy to swing it back in the '60s...

..solo?

No.

But I don't want to hurt Aris, Orion, all of them...

Aris...

Nice kid.

Collateral damage. It happens.

So, cut the bleeding hearts. We're all in it together!

You are under direct orders

to leave all the Sparticles and the Sensitives where they are.

Let them think they are winning.

-How could you?

-Sadiq!

-I want to say sorry.

-It's too late for that.

You were right. Kylie isn't my mum.

She's a wicked liar and I want to send her home.

Calm down, Aris. What happened?

Kylie's going to use the comet power to boost the neuroscrambler

and wipe our minds when we're linked up.

Say we did think you were telling the truth,

and I don't, what can we do?

We link up while you get into the lighthouse and destroy the machine.

Even if we can do that, getting on the Sensinet is a huge risk, Reese.

We haven't got any choice.

We need to know we've got the seven Sensitives online.

Sadiq, we have got to destroy that machine before the comet arrives.

If we don't...

Quick! Quick!

The baby's coming!

Orion...

Lucie...

Yanx...

Jason...

-ALL:

-Mr Keeper?

Mr Keeper, come and join us!

The keeper is not the seventh Sensitive!!

So, let's fire up the mother ship.

LOUD DISTORTED WAIL

What's happening?!

BABY CRIES

Kylie, what are you doing? You've turned into a monster!

Stop!

And now you're prepared to destroy the minds of babies?!

Oh, boo-hoo!

My enemies will be wiped out.

And I will rule forever!

If you all want to stay here,

then the Sensitives have to pay the price.

You are disturbing the baby.

We can do this!

We're Sparticles, right?

The sun will darken, the birds will harken.

And still I am denied the power to light my lamp.

Time's up.

The comet's here.
