Undercover of Night World's End

MACHINE WHIRS

Does this mean I'm going?

Long straw means you're not.

-I don't want to do it.

-You don't have to.

I didn't count you in, Gaia.

Hang on, what about her?

-The name's Lexy, and I have to go.

-How come?

Because I'm important, unlike you.

HE MOUTHS Oh...

Noah?

That's it, then. Lexy, Luke and me.

You need to be careful.

Our twins are not friendly, trust me.

We'll go in the early hours, yeah? Once everyone's in bed.

Is that a good idea? I mean, how will they react to the three of you

-arriving in the dead of night, waking them up.

-Angrily.

LUKE: Noah's right. Maybe we should wait till morning.

-Getting cold feet, Luke?

-No, I'm saying we be careful, that's all.

Yeah, what if all the lights are off?

If they're startled and scared, they might attack you.

Yeah, like zombies.

-What?

-I want to get down there as soon as, because I don't care

what you say, Gaia, I know my twin is there somewhere.

Take a vote.

All those in favour of waiting till morning...

I guess that's decided, then.

MUFFLED VOICES SPEAK

-You do realise Mum must be in on all of this?

-Not necessarily.

She took us away from here, remember?

Yeah, and now she's brought us back.

Well, maybe she didn't have a choice.

I don't trust her, Luke.

I'm sorry, but I don't.

You know who I think is Lena's number two?

-Major Javadi?

-Duncan.

Dad?

Yeah, think about it. He's lived in the castle the whole time,

just like Lena. He's the one who talked to Gaia in the secret zone.

He had Cat's stuff in his apartment.

And Mum obviously hated him so much, she told us he was dead.

-So, let's go talk to Mum.

-No.

-She'd only lie to us again.

-You don't know that.

Maybe I should go talk to him, push his buttons a bit more.

-What?

-He nearly lost it earlier with Cat.

-So?

Why risk you and Cat going to the secret zone,

if Duncan will tell us what we need to know?

No, get back into bed, it's late.

We'll discuss what to do in the morning.

Noah.

MUFFLED VOICES SPEAK

WOMAN: Caitlin.

Where's Mummy?

TAP ON WINDOW

TAP ON WINDOW

Noah.

-What are you doing?

-I'm going to talk to Duncan.

No.

Wait.

Let go, I know what I'm doing.

I thought we agreed to sleep on it.

No, you agreed. And I can't sleep.

What's going on in there, are you two arguing?

No, everything's cool.

-Now see what you've done?

-Me?

Just cover for me.

What are you doing?

Hello, can I come in?

Hey, just going to the bathroom.

-Everything all right?

-Sure, mm-hmm.

-I thought I heard raised voices?

-Nah, it's just Noah going off.

-Mm-hmm, yeah.

-What about?

A, erm...girl?

-Maybe.

-I knew it.

-Wouldn't be a girl called Cat, by any chance, would it?

-Huh.

-You both like her, don't you?

-Mum!

All right, OK, I'll leave you to sort it out.

-But I'm here if you near me, all right?

-OK, thanks.

So why exactly have you come dressed like one of them?

Less likely to get caught.

Oh, so it's likelier for me to get caught.

Lexy, you've got clearance for down there.

And you're Lena's daughter. Somehow, I think you'll be OK.

That's what you think. If Mummy ever found out what I've been

-up to recently, my life would not be worth living.

-Come on.

You know, I don't even think she likes me very much.

Maybe she thinks she gave the wrong one away.

-Lexy!

-OK, OK.

Don't get your jumpsuit in a twist.

PHONE RINGS

-Hello?

-'The delivery's arrived.

'I'll meet you at the lift.'

KNOCK AT DOOR Duncan, I know you're in there.

-I want some answers, and I want them now.

-What is all this noise?

-Duncan!

-Can this wait till morning?

What? Oh, it's you.

-I might have known.

-I need to speak to you.

-I don't think so.

-Now.

-Take it easy, Noah.

Why don't you just let him in, Duncan, for two minutes?

And why don't you keep your nose out

of things that don't concern you, Lieutenant?

-Remove you foot and go back to your room.

-Make me.

Just hear the lad out, Duncan.

-What's happening here?

-It's OK.

Go on, Noah. What is it you want to say to your dad?

Why did you have Cat's stuff? What are you hiding from her, from us?

-DUNCAN LAUGHS

-Listen to the big man.

What is your problem with me?

Noah, I think you need to calm down and go back to bed.

-You haven't answered my question.

-Do as the Colonel says.

Go back to your room, or I'll have you arrested and thrown in a cell.

All right, Duncan. He's just a kid.

Come on, you, let's go and get a coffee.

DOOR WHIRS AND BEEPS

So, what's the plan?

Wake them up, get into the room, get some answers.

You don't think they will attack us, do you? Like Slim and AJ said?

No.

DOOR WHIRS

-Hello.

-What are you doing here?

-Supposed to be cleared...

-We've got to go. There's no time for this.

-They're coming.

-MAN: No room in storage three...

-Cat!

-..we'll leave them in the corridor overnight.

-It's not a problem.

-It is to me, Adam.

What are you doing up?

If I catch you wandering around here again,

you'll be locked up for the night. Do I make myself clear?

-DOOR WHIRRS AND BEEPS

-Now, get into bed and stay there.

-I have to get back to my room.

-You can't, not yet.

Did you not hear what I said?

You and the imposter must leave and I must go.

And did you not to what I said?

Not yet.

Alexa, is that you?

Alexa's, like, my full name, but everyone calls me Lexy.

Oh, you think I'm her, don't you? My twin, Alexa.

No, I'm not, but I'd so like to meet her. Can you take me to her?

Alexa died when she was small.

-There you go, buddy.

-Thanks.

So, now, what was all that about?

It was about the stuff we discussed before, you know?

-The reason why we've all been brought here.

-Go on.

Well, it's basically a research centre, right?

But my mum can't or won't tell us what she's researching.

There's definitely something not quite right about it, though.

And I think Duncan's the key. I...I wanted to confront him.

-Do you think that's wise?

-What do you mean?

It's not always good to expose your hand to someone,

especially when you're not sure what game they're playing.

Do you trust me, Noah?

-Can I trust you?

-Yeah, you can trust me.

Look, you're not the only one who thinks there's

-something dodgy going on here, OK?

-You too?

Yeah, I've been doing a bit of research of my own

and I've... I've discovered something.

PANEL BEEPS

Best if I show you. You wouldn't believe me otherwise.

-Where are we going, exactly?

-I thought you said you trusted me.

OK, what would you say

if I told you there was a secret underground lab beneath the castle?

I'd say that it doesn't surprise me.

There's other rooms and areas down there as well

which I don't have access for, but I can get us into the lab.

PANEL BEEPS

Come on, guys, both of those as well.

Oh, do get a move on, Marcus.

We're going to be here all night at this rate.

-What is it? What were those crates?

-It's a delivery.

-At this time of night?

-It must be linked to what's going on.

-What is going on?

-It's best if you don't know,

I could be dragging you into all sorts of danger. If Lena ever

-finds I've told you...

-What is it you've seen?

-Sorry, I can't.

DOOR BEEPS AND WHIRS

-You took your time.

-We had to wait till it was clear.

-Sorry about all of that.

-Please go now.

We're sisters, don't you think we

should try and get to know each other?

If the mentors catch you down here, we will all be in big trouble.

Don't be scared, I'm here to help you.

If we work together, then maybe we can...

No, you'll ruin everything and put us into danger.

What kind of danger?

-Just go, please.

-OK, OK, we're going.

Come on, Cat, we're not welcome here.

What have they done to them?

My twin's dead.

Lexy, I'm so sorry.

What you've never had, you never miss, right?

DOOR BEEPS AND WHIRS

Stack them over there. Got to shift everything in the morning.

-What's in the boxes?

-(I don't know.)

We'll have to wait until they're finished unloading them.

-Noah.

-Yeah.

-What happened? What did you say to Dad?

-Nothing.

I managed to wake Casey up, too, then Gaia's dad.

It suddenly didn't seem like the right time.

But Casey stepped in, actually,

calmed things down. He was on my side.

Yeah? Well, while you were out making a new best friend,

-I was busy keeping Mum off your back.

-Yeah, but he was going to...

Noah, if it's OK with you, I'd like to get some sleep now.

Let's take a look in those boxes.

No, I want to go now.

It could be a clue as to what's been going on.
