Double Trouble World's End

DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE

'We may be able to get the information we need.'

CAMERA CLICKS

Just a few more hours, we are doing well.

HE DROPS CAMERA

(Did they hear me?)

Probably, dude, but I'm not waiting to find out!

I tell you, I heard something.

ELECTRONIC SOUND

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

THEY GASP BREATHLESSLY

-BOTH: Argh!

-Oh, chill! It's only us.

-Did you see them?

-See who?

-BOTH: N.O.Body!

Wha... No. Guys, look!

-Same worlds meet!

-Is that what's happening?

I mean, well, we translated this from the cave, but...

Just lock yourselves in tonight, they're coming!

SLIM GASPS

-Are they always this weird?

-Ahem, yep!

Come on, Gregor. It's time to go, love.

-See you, Luke.

-Later, Gregor.

Help! Let me out!

Why did you wait so long?

You should have called me the moment she became agitated. Gaia?

Mr Morelle, it's me! Let me out, please! There's been a mistake.

Please! Open the door!

Open the door!

I need you to calm down for me first, Gaia.

< GASPING

-What time do you call this?

-Er, 9.25?

-No.

-21.25?

Past curfew time!

You two learned nothing after your little escapade today?

Consider yourselves confined to quarters for the next 24 hours.

-Great! Thank you, Dad!

-How about making it 48?

KNOCKING ON DOOR BOTH: Gaaah!

-Is it OK to speak to Slim and AJ?

-No, it's most certainly not OK.

All teenagers back to their quarters by 9pm prompt. Now go!!

She'll sleep now till morning.

Keep a close eye on her and the moment she wakes, call me.

-Morning!

-Morning! I swear these bags get heavier by the day.

Oh, thanks.

How long have you worked here, Moira?

Since Gregor was a toddler so, what? 13 years?

So you'd remember when we all lived here as babies?

Well, I didn't have security clearance back in those days.

I just used to pick up and drop off at the main gate.

But I was aware of children living here, yeah.

Did you ever meet my mum? Rose Sharpe?

You're Rose Sharpe's daughter! Oh, my word.

Yeah, she used to come into the village occasionally.

She was lovely, Cat.

"Was"?

Yeah, I heard she'd died working in...Botswana, was it?

Borneo.

And she didn't die, she went missing.

Both my parents went missing.

Oh, well. I was just sad she never came to say goodbye.

Not that we were particularly close friends or anything.

Maybe she couldn't.

Maybe she...they left in a hurry.

Well, that'd make sense with all the stuff they left behind, I suppose.

What stuff?

When Dr Morelle moved into the quarters he gave me

a pile of your parents' clothes to take to a charity shop.

Dr Morelle took over their quarters?

It was other personal stuff he kept hold of as well.

Has he not given that to you?

-Cat?

-DOOR SLAMS

-Noah!

-SHE GASPS FOR BREATH

My parents used to live at your dad's place.

He's got some stuff of theirs, Moira told me.

-I need you to help me get into there and have a look around...

-Hey!

Slow down. You want to get into Duncan's? That's awkward.

If I'm seen anywhere near his place I'd be like, dead! So...?

-What about you?

-Me?

-Duncan likes you, doesn't he?

-Mmm...

You could always lend her your key.

-You have a key? Why didn't you say? Come on!

-Not so fast!

If I'm caught, it'd be better if you're with me.

I was going to see if Slim and AJ are OK. They were freaked out

about something last night and I wanted to make sure that...

-Noah will go for you, won't you?

-Um...

Yeah, I guess.

Please, Luke!

Get used to it, bro. The girl is very bossy.

I can't decide. Raspberry Sorbet or Sugar Plum?

Not crying over poor old Lucy?

Come on, Gaia. What's going on really?

-What do you mean?

-The sudden personality change.

-Why don't you just admit it?

-Admit what?

-You're trying to be like me, right?

-Why would I do that?

-It's OK.

I don't mind. Imitation is the best form of flattery, as they say.

Gaia, I've just had a call.

-Your father's on his way back from the airport.

-Great!

I can't wait to see him!

May as well take what's left of your stuff back to your place.

Don't look so sad, I know you're totally going to miss me, but...

Your dad mentioned mirror matter, right? That's got to be the key!

I thought I'd wake up this morning and this would all be a bad dream.

But it isn't, is it?

What was it Luke said last night?

Something about "same worlds meeting".

I quite like the way he's got his hair, though.

Same worlds, parallel worlds, mirror worlds, mirror images...

Oh, come on, Slim! What's the connection?

Dimension.

What if they're from a different dimension,

-like, like a parallel universe or something!

-Yeah, right.

-That's just like...sci-fi.

-No, it's quantum mechanics.

Look - "The Many World interpretation holds

"that there are many universes which exist in parallel

"at the same space and time as our own."

I'm so sorry, you lost me at quantum.

I think these are parallel universe versions of ourselves, AJ.

Is that what they wear in their universe then? Military onesies?

Slim, AJ, I've brought you some breakfast.

When I said you were grounded, I didn't mean you

literally had to lock yourselves in your bedroom for 24 hours.

Heh, we like it in here. Thanks!

I'd like a word with my son. In private.

Don't look so worried, you're not in any more trouble.

Is this going to take long? Only I'd like to...

I know this village ban might seem a little harsh, but sneaking

your girlfriends into the castle was a very foolish thing to do.

-SLIM:

-For the record, Skink is NOT my girlfriend!

Stop listening at the door, Slim!

Now, what you've got to understand is that security is paramount

here at World's End.

Good. Can we have a guard stationed outside our quarters, then?

Just to make sure we don't, you know, try and sneak out or anything.

I don't need to do that. I trust you, AJ.

Really?

Is that why you put Spyware on my phone, then?

KNOCK ON DOOR

If he's not in, use the key.

-Luke?

-Yeah...

-Hi!

-Hi. Um, you did say we should...catch up sometime.

-Er, yes.

Of course, yeah. Come in.

Oh, yeah. Both of you.

So, er, how long have you two been hanging out together, then?

Oh, well, um, since Noah and Cat had a falling-out and we...

Since we became...boyfriend and girlfriend, actually.

He's too embarrassed to tell you!

Is it OK for me to use your bathroom? I'm busting.

-A parallel universe?

-Yeah!

And what if this parallel universe is like, dying, OK?

And that's why they've come here, to take over our world!

-Yeah, and replace US!

-Well, they've already got to Gaia!

-You guys!

-We're serious!

-NOAH LAUGHS

-Show him the photo, Slim.

And before you say anything,

we've not messed with it or changed it in any way.

-This is you guys, right?

-In those clothes? As if.

It was me who took the photo. Last night.

Wasn't Cat with you?

So how can she also be in the photo?

Now do you believe us?

-Where's your dad?

-Gone for milk.

Why did you say we were boyfriend and girlfriend?

You looked like you were struggling. Heh. Did you see his face, though?

I'm obviously a huge disappointment.

-So anyway, I had a quick look around his bedroom...

-You did what?

You didn't think I'd actually gone to the bathroom, did you?

There's a cupboard in there, it must be where he stores his stuff,

but it's locked...

-Help yourselves.

-PHONE RINGS

-Yes?

-LENA:

-Duncan, we need you here. Now!

OK. I'll be right there.

Sorry, you two. There's somewhere I need to be.

-Like, now.

-Can't we stay and finish our drinks at least?

-Um...

I still have the key you gave me. I could lock up behind us...

-You did say I could come and go.

-Yes, er... Oh, yep. OK, fine.

Right. Well, I'll catch you later, Luke. Sorry about this.

Yes!

We have to find the key for that cupboard.

You know, I can't imagine what it must have been like for you,

growing up with no parents at all.

I used to fantasise all the time that my dad was really alive

and that one day I'd find him.

And now you have.

Hasn't quite turned out the way I thought it would.

Here, try this.

Result!

Guess we've found where he stores his stuff.

Gaia, I'm back.

-Hey! How's my favourite girl?

-Hello, Father.

-Welcome home!

-"Father"? When did you get so formal?

Come and give me a hug.

You OK?

-You sounded pretty odd on the phone yesterday.

-Did I?

Tell you what, why don't I go and unpack and...

-and then we can have a proper catch-up, yeah?

-Yeah.

-I want to go home.

-And where do you think home is, Gaia?

In the castle, of course.

Look, just get hold of my dad, he'll know who I am. Please.

PHONE RINGS

-Hello?

-Duncan? It's Marcus.

-I've just got back and there's something very wrong here.

-Wrong?

It's Gaia. She's acting... Well, it's as if...

-I don't know, I was going to call Lena, but...

-No, no.

Wait there. I'm on my way.

-Keep her secure.

-No! Please!

DOOR SLAMS

Cat, there's nothing in there, we have to put the stuff back.

Hang on! There's some old shoe boxes back here.

They might have...

Shoes in them?

OK. Hold that.

Cat, seriously.

If my dad catches us, we're going to be in so much...

CAT GASPS What is that?

It's the other half of my necklace.

This is my mum.

These are her things, Luke.

And that's where we saw them, down in the cellar.

-They must be the ones living in the secret zone.

-The secret WHAT?

The place our parents don't want us to know about, and now I know why.

-We have to tell the others.

-Tell them what, exactly? Noah!

-Hey! You'll never guess...

-You'll never guess, either.

Take a look at that.

That's impossible.

-This isn't me, is it?

-It's a parallel universe version of you!

We've all got one. Me, Gaia, AJ...

There's no parallel universe, Slim. Don't you get it?

Those people...are your twins.

-AJ AND SLIM: Twins?

-We've all got a twin?
