Guardians World's End

That's Whatshisname Winters from the castle.

I thought she said she was getting a taxi into town?

Maybe he's kidnapped her.

Follow that car!

What now?

Why have you stopped here?

I understand what it's like to be fed a cover story which later

unravels into a pack of lies.

Just take me back to the castle and get it over with.

I'm sure Lena's waiting, ready to dole out some punishment or other.

Is that what you think?

That I'm Lena's lapdog?

I detest that woman.

I was away at boarding school when I found out that my father had died.

Heart attack.

Why are you telling me this?

Several years later,

I discovered that my father hadn't died after all.

Lena had lied to me.

So what did happen to him?

Disappeared.

Like my parents?

Yes.

You see, Cat, we have more in common than you might think.

-I'm trying to help you.

-By keeping me prisoner?

Look, if you really want to go...

Just go.

Just tell me one thing.

What are you hoping to find in town that you can't find here?

Why I was brought here

and who's been looking out for me all these years.

Well, that's easy.

It was me.

What?

At least, I'm the person who's been paying money into your account

-every month.

-You're lying! You would have told me when I first got here.

I couldn't, I was acting under orders - Lena's orders. I am sorry.

Come back to the castle with me, I'll prove it to you.

And I promise, I'll answer any other questions that you might have.

I'm on your side, Cat.

But if you still want to go into town, that's fine.

I'll drive you there myself.

We need to phone the police.

No, they won't take us seriously.

-Remember the yeti footprint phone call?

-Oh, and the UFO phone call.

Exactly! We weren't the only ones

-to see strange, flying aircraft that night.

-But would they listen?

-No.

Too busy arresting drunks and giving out parking tickets to

worry about a little thing like an alien invasion.

Look who I bumped into in the village.

-Your mum said I left something behind?

-Yeah, be with you in a sec.

There's your change...

So will you have a think about me helping out in the kitchen, Moira?

Oh, I don't think it would be really very practical. I'm sorry, Gaia.

Although I could possibly do with an extra pair of hands cleaning

-the tables?

-I'll do it!

-OK. I'm warning you, I don't pay very well.

-Ask Gregor.

-Mum!

-What?

So, what did I leave behind, exactly?

She came back.

-I looked everywhere for you!

-She's actually pretty friendly.

-We need to find out where she lives.

-Aye.

She can stay for now, but mum won't let her inside,

so it'll have to be temporary. I'll save her some snacks.

Hey, you! If that Cat girl doesn't come back to the

castle tonight, come and talk to us - we're gathering intel.

Ignore them, I always do.

So, here's the amount going out of my account every month

and these are the payee details here.

That is your account, right?

I don't understand.

After your parents went missing,

my father took it upon himself to set up a trust fund for you.

Six months later, he "died".

There was a will.

Unfortunately for you, I inherited father's estate.

-You're the owner of World's End Castle?

-Yeah.

I said I wanted the fund to remain in place.

Lena was dead against it, but there wasn't much she could do.

She did, however, insist that you were sent away to school

and all links to World's End severed.

And you agreed to that?

I was very young, Cat - I trusted the adults.

But now, like you, I'm beginning to realise they're all liars!

And that something very sinister's going on.

And what about my parents?

What do you know about them?

-Let's continue this later, somewhere private.

-No, please, now!

Oh, there you are, Casey.

We need to have a chat about those stats you gave me earlier.

If we must.

Decided not to go then?

Noah and Luke mentioned something.

Didn't have much choice in the end.

-Any sightings of either the kidnapper or the girl?

-Nothing.

What's Private Combover doing?

Ugh, mining for bogeys?

It's boring being a detective on a stakeout.

We need doughnuts, they have doughnuts in all the movies.

Why is this sand so lumpy? It's hurting my bum.

-I think there's a rock...

-Just move, why don't you?!

Skink, I've found something.

And this is big, right?

Luke and Cat think our wacko parents are training up guerrilla soldiers!

-Is that even possible?

-Of course it's possible!

I know they're intelligent and everything,

but how do they get them to fight?

-Who?

-The gorillas.

-Ha!

Gorillas are definitely more intelligent than you, you bozo.

Yeah?

And with nicer personalities than you, you witch.

Guys, knock it off.

I wonder how Cat's getting on.

Funny you should mention that. I was in the mess earlier

-and I saw...

-Cat!

Hey, you changed your mind.

No. Someone ratted me out to Casey...

and I think we all know who that was, don't we, Noah?

I didn't say anything to anybody.

It's true, he's been with me the whole time.

Well, someone told him.

It was me.

-You.

-Why am I not surprised?

It was an accident.

It just sort of slipped out.

-Sorry.

-Whoa-ho!

Lexy just apologised!

Falls on the floor in amazement!

How did he manage to talk you out of going?

Or did he make you come back?

-No, he didn't make me.

-So...

By the way, I think you owe me an apology!

-Can we put one up in here too?

-Sure.

Hooray, I am off.

Gregor, could you lock up for me, please?

Oh, hello, Gaia. You still here?

I know, I should get back before they send out the search party.

-Look what we found!

-We found it buried in the dunes.

-Do you know what it is?

-Yeah, some kind of alien pod or egg.

-We need to get open, come on, Skink!

-Hang on, we're closing.

I saw this film once when music was, like, the universal language,

which finally got through to the barbaric alien life form.

TUNELESS HIGH NOTES

That's painful.

The higher the frequency the better.

FURTHER TUNELESS NOTES

I really need to go.

THEY CONTINUE SINGING

They're nuts.

It's actually a Pictish ball.

There are drawings of them in the cave.

I'll see you, Gregor.

-I'll get the new stats back to you first thing.

-Make sure you do.

Casey!

-Cat, what are you doing here?

-Looking for you.

I wanted to finish our talk.

Well, come on then, before the Ice Queen catches us.

You OK?

It was you.

You were the one that found me in the cave,

right after my parents disappeared.

You remember that?

You helped me.

Yeah.

Just like I'm going to help you now.

Come on.

-So, what happened to them? You can tell me the truth.

-The truth?

I don't know.

-But you have to.

-Nobody knows.

Your mum and dad were last seen doing some research on those old

-paintings in the cave. You were with them at the time.

-And Lexy?

Not that I'm aware of. What makes you ask that?

A memory.

I used to hang out in that cave.

I came in and found you there, crying for your mum and dad...

..but they'd gone.

It's that cave.

Two children disappeared there during the '60s, did you hear about that?

I've heard the rumours, yes.

Look, Cat, I understand how important all this stuff is,

and I promise I will try and help you, but it's what's happening

at the castle now that concerns me more.

The chemical weapons?

-Oh, so Noah's told you then!

-Only what he saw.

So, what happens now?

What happens now is that we work together and we find out the truth.

Leave me to deal with Lena and the others. Give me some space,

I'll find out what's going on. Can you be patient and do that?

Good.

But what about me? What can I do?

You, keep your ears and your eyes open,

and let me know if you find out anything, OK?

-Oh, Cat!

-Hi.

-You OK?

-Little bit in shock, to be honest.

Casey's the one that's been looking out for me, Luke.

-The one paying into my account.

-What?!

He's under orders not to tell me, so we have to keep it quiet, but...

He knew my parents.

I actually remember him helping me after they disappeared.

And I think Noah's right, I think he's on our side.

Bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

The day you decide to go to the authorities,

Casey gives you all this info.

Well, he's not lying about the money, I saw the proof.

If he is being genuine, then...

Does he know about the twins?

I don't think so. He didn't say. Then again, I didn't either.

-Do you think I should have?

-No, uh-uh.

But how can we find out the truth

if we don't even tell each other everything?

I think you should wait, play this out with Casey first...just in case.

When did you become so cynical? I thought that was my job.

There is one thing I can do though,

-while Casey's investigating Lena and co.

-What's that?

Talk to my sister again.

So, coming?

What, now? I don't know.

-I mean, shouldn't we talk to the others first?

-Oh, come on.

I know how desperate you are to see the "SZ" for yourself.

OK, follow me.

Wow!

Wait - don't we need Lexy to open the doors for us?

Not where we're going.

What do they want? Get rid of them!

DOOR LOCK BEEPS

Come on.

-DOOR LOCK BEEPS

-Get in.

Why do you keep doing this? Coming here, putting us at risk?

We're just looking to get some answers, the same as you.

-Gaia says you're here to replace us on the mission.

-What mission?

Please, you can trust us - what mission?

Is something to do with chemical weapons?

-When is it happening?

-Soon.

Here.

I want you to have this.

Why are you giving me your things?

Because you're my sister.

You have to let me help you, Caitlin.

Please, tell me about this mission.

Gaia says it's very different in your world.

It is, yes.

Very different.

-Maybe you'd like to go and see for yourself?

-Cat!

Before it's too late and you go on the mission?

What are you saying?

She doesn't know what she's saying.

Cat, a word.

-What are you playing at?!

-I'm staying down here, Luke.

-No!

-Yes!

I have to find out about this mission -

the best way to do that is for me to be down here.

Now come and help me persuade her.

Cat, no!

Oh, Luke finally persuaded you to come and apologise then?

-Are you Luke number two?

-What?

Noah, I tried to stop her, really, I did,

but you know what Cat's like when she makes a mind up about something.

No way - you idiot! What have you done?!

Has the impostor gone?

Not quite.
