Leave It Alone - Bad! World's End

THUNDER RUMBLES

STATIC BUZZING

-What was that?

-I don't know.

Lexy, where are you going?

-Out of here.

-Don't you want to know what this is?

Why it was in your dream?

No, there was something else in my dream. A feeling.

What sort of feeling?

A feeling that whatever's going on down here, it's leave it alone bad.

It's all my fault. If Gaia hadn't done the space clear ritual,

then she wouldn't have been taken over and...

Mate, you can't blame yourself.

She was trying to help me. Who else can I blame?

Oh, the salt!

Think about it.

It absorbed the negative energy and literally blew it back in our faces.

The real question is what are we going to do about it?

-We have to tell someone.

-Tell them what?

We angered an evil spirit and now it's taken over Gaia!

Who's going to believe that?

BOTH: No way.

-I knew there was something off about her.

-Can you help us or not?

-Maybe.

-On one condition.

-Name it.

You get us into the castle.

BOTH: Deal.

Wait, how are we meant to do that?

Easy.

Fire it up, AJ.

Can I borrow your phone, Mackenzie?

From now on, you're Gaia, you're Cat. You ready for your close up?

-What are you staring at?

-You make unpleasant noises when you eat.

SHE SLURPS

Mummy, there's something wrong with Gaia.

She hasn't got a temperature.

-She's being weird.

-Then I'd say she's just being herself.

-Where are you going?

-Work.

-But it's Saturday.

-Well observed.

Unfortunately the job is very demanding at the moment,

so we're all having to go the extra mile.

Play nicely, girls.

Do you not care that people think you're a freak?

Why would I care what you think of me? You're insignificant.

DOOR BANGS

-Where are you going?

-Oh, work, unfortunately.

The five-day week is a dim and distant memory. See you later.

-Hi, Cat.

-Hey.

-Have a good day.

-Someone's in a hurry.

-Yeah.

We need to talk to Lexy.

She must have known about that secret zone, surely.

-She's lived here her whole life.

-I don't know.

What do you think it's used for?

You two do realise I'm here.

What's going on?

If you want me to carry on covering for you, you've got to tell me.

He has a point. We found...

We found out some stuff about my parents and this place.

They disappeared when I was young.

I was told it was in Borneo, but that was a lie.

I actually think they disappeared right here, at World's End.

-Cat, I'm...

-I just don't want everyone knowing, that's all.

-I get it. Sorry.

-It's cool.

ENTRY SYSTEM BEEPS

Ever the gentleman.

OK. Best if you two keep your mouths shut, yeah?

Are you going to let us through or what?

-Genius.

-Nah, just a bit of a whizz at the old cut and paste.

-I reckon it was the styling that got us through.

-Oh!

Just keep walking.

OK.

You didn't have to tell Luke about your mum and dad.

I couldn't tell him about the secret zone, could I?

We don't even know what it is yet,

I'm not putting anyone else into danger.

Before you say anything, it is not my imagination.

Gaia's had a personality transplant.

All that fluffy wah-wah has been replaced by cold, hard swag.

-I like it.

-What are you talking about?

Oh, and there's something suspect going on with our parents.

-What kind of something suspect?

-Do I look like a walking search engine?

Mummy's got everyone working, that's all I know.

I thought my mum was kind of cagey before.

Maybe we should check it out.

Oh, it's perfect. Give that to me.

Picture it, me in my wedding dress.

It's made out of magpie feathers.

Confetti shaped like my face snowing down on us.

And my groom - he'll be standing right there, waiting for me.

Yeah, I don't think they rent the castle out for weddings.

Well, they wouldn't need to rent it out, would they?

-Not if I was marrying into it.

-I don't own the place.

Skink, get my train.

ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS

He's calling from Stockholm later so we shall know more then.

-Good old Marcus.

-Oh, and the Tunguska soil samples have arrived.

Finally, what took them so long?

Gaia!

If you must rush around, please do so with your eyes open.

You were supposed to come up with a plan to save Gaia,

not a plan for your wedding.

Don't come any closer.

-What are you going to do, brush her hair?

-We're on to you.

We know you've taken Gaia over.

Gaia, if you can hear me in there, don't worry,

we're going to get you out.

Take one more step and it'll be your last.

That's it, run. You won't get far.

Gargh!

-Where did she go?

-You won't get far? Yeah, good one, Mac.

She's too quick for us.

How are we going to get the spirit out of Gaia

-if we can't even catch her.

-Right, where's your vacuum cleaner?

We didn't bring you here to do the cleaning.

Do you want to get rid of the spirit or not?

So get the vac.

And it's Mackenzie to you, by the way. Just Mackenzie.

So, if your parents are working this weekend,

how come they're not up here?

What's the bet they're down in the secret zone? The underground lab.

That lift in the door we found, it must be the main entrance.

-What lift?

-Down in the cellar.

There's a lift and a door and you made me

crawl through that grubby hole.

Well, we didn't exactly know it led to the same place.

Wait.

What are you doing here?

Gaia.

Gaia! Open the door.

-What are you doing?

-What do you think she's doing?

Making a pass so you can get around this freaky castle.

-Nice one, Gaia. Give us a go.

-How did you get in here in the first place?

You stole my mum's pass?

I don't need it now.

-See what I mean.

-Done.

You reckon this will work on the secret zone door?

Only one way to find out.

With the worker bees buzzing around in the hive,

that's just asking to get stung.

-What are you doing?

-Making a ghost trap.

We wire up the laser from the DVD player into the vacuum cleaner,

hide it under Gaia's bed,

then when she comes it we suck the evil spirit out of her and trap it.

-Where did you learn how to do that?

-Duh, do you not have the internet?

No, no way. You mess around with wires and you get seriously fried.

And you don't mess around with my stuff.

-The ghost trap is a nonstarter.

-Well, what's your idea then?

Well, I haven't got one.

Make yourself useful.

Mine's white, three sugars.

This is the worst idea since batwing jumpers.

We'll only go as far the downstairs doors, yeah?

Just to see if it works.

So, what do you think the sculptor was trying to say?

It's kind of...

Boiler's playing up. I think we might need a new system.

Better be getting off.

Don't even say it.

-Hi.

-Hey.

-Busy?

-It's just some history stuff.

-Can I have a look?

-Actually, I'm heading out to the cafe, so...

-Oh, OK.

-Well, maybe we'll catch up later.

-Yeah, sure, see you.

-Hey.

-Hiya.

PHONE RINGS

-'Duncan, where are you?'

-Just getting something to eat.

-'Well, get back to the office now.'

-I'm on my way.

-Since when did you know how to pick locks?

-Since my granny showed me.

This is stupid. That thing is not going to trap a ghost.

We've seen the demo video.

It completely sucks the ghost out of what looks like a toothless old man.

Then, a minute later, he was like 17.

The ghost had totally aged him from the inside out.

And the boy's soul had been trapped in limbo,

waiting for his body to be free so he could return.

Hang on, is that what's happening to our Gaia's soul?

She's stuck in limbo somewhere?

So, where does the evil one sleep?

OK, it might get a bit messy when the spirit's extracted,

-so she'll need to be locked in.

-I don't think that's a good idea.

Do you want Gaia's soul back or what?

-Now what?

-We wait.

Hey. Just the man.

Check it out, I just found out a bunch of stuff about the Picts.

-What's that?

-Are these like the symbols you saw in the cave?

"The World's End Picts by Lawrence Winters."

Is this anything to do with the Winters up at the castle?

Aye, Lawrence Winters used to own the place.

I don't think it was ever published though.

-Looks very much like a work in progress.

-Look at this.

-He started translating the symbols.

-No way.

It's just a partial translation though.

-Want to go on a field trip?

-Yeah.

-Slim, shut up!

-It's not me.

-Sorry.

DOOR SHUTS

Go, go, go!

Yes! Got her.

She is toast.

GAIA: Let me out.

That's it. The spirit knows it's on its way out of here.

Who's scary now, eh?

Guys, I'm really not sure about the locking her in stuff.

BANGING ON DOOR

And what is that smell?

It's all right, it's just the evil spirit's stench.

BANGING STOPS

EXPLOSION

It's OK, that means it's working.

EXPLOSION

-Gaia?

-You can't just leave her in there!

Don't! It's the spirit messing with us.

If you open that door all our hard work will be for nothing.

It's a vacuum cleaner with a laser wired into it.

It wouldn't blitz a filthy carpet, let alone an evil spirit.

Did anyone ever tell you snatching is rude?

That's destiny's way of telling you to leave well alone.

No! No, no, no, no.

-Stand back. It's the evil literally seeping out.

-I don't think it is.

Fire! We've set the place on fire!
