Careful What You Wish For World's End

Who's there?

Luke.

What is it? Mom? Is she back?

No... It was nothing.

It was just a bad dream.

Go back to sleep.

You won't do anything, will you?

Just keep on the downlow today, yeah? For Mom's sake.

We have to careful what we say and do, OK?

What do you mean?

You know that bad dream I had last night?

It wasn't a dream.

I said that because I didn't want to freak you out

but there was someone in our room watching us.

-Who?

-I don't know.

I thought at first I was seeing things but...

-First sign of madness, seeing things.

-Don't do that.

What?

Creep up on people.

Oh, sorry, buddy. It must be the new slippers.

Stone floors mean cold feet.

Do you want to come sit with us?

Hi.

Any news on your mum?

No. But thanks for asking.

So, give us some deets on this figure you saw in your room then.

Like I said, I was probably just imagining it.

-You saw someone in your room?

-No.

Because you do know this place is haunted?

I've been getting vibes.

Are you a psycho?

He means psychic.

Yeah, kind of, I guess.

Hey, hear that, Noah? Maybe what you saw last night was a ghost.

BOTH: Oo-oo-oo-oo.

This place must be hundreds of years old, right?

You're not wrong, AJ.

Stones that old are bound to house a few spooks.

Yeah, well, I don't believe in ghosts, sorry.

And I've got bigger things to worry about right now.

Hey, have you got any signal on your phone?

I've been trying to call someone ever since I got here.

WHISTLE BLARES

Everyone get changed. Outside in precisely five minutes.

Who is that?

-My dad.

-Major Javadi.

His workouts are deadly.

Adam Javadi Junior, will you stop playing with your hair,

get down on the floor and give me some press-ups.

Gaia, what are you doing?

A ladybug. I didn't want to sit on her.

Easy!

Who's that man?

What man?

Lexy Winters, you're late.

I broke a nail.

How about you break a sweat? Warm up.

-Are you OK, Noah?

-I saw him again, Luke.

The guy from last night.

Where? I can't see him.

-Where are you going?

-To see if this Major Javadi guy knows anything.

No, just let me talk to him, OK?

Sir?

Our mom, Stephanie Morelle, she was arrested yesterday and we,

my brother and I, we were just wondering...

Sorry, none of my business.

General Winters must have her reasons.

AJ, I said press-ups!

Hey, what do you know about this guy your mum sent to spy on us, huh?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Come on, you live here,

your mum runs the place. You must know something.

-Where are the holding cells?

-I don't know.

But if you continue to harass me,

I'll see if I can arrange your own special visit.

Lexy, Lexy, Lexy, I think you are so...

-That's mine, Mackenzie, give it back.

-Nuu-uhh.

And before you get any ideas, we've made like a katrillion copies.

So if you don't want your past splashed all over college,

you better help us.

What do you want?

BOTH: Evidence.

Up! Timetables. Hit the showers. Classes start in 15.

-When can we see Mom?

-When I say so.

And when's that going to be?

Life skills, what's that?

Life skills is all about survival.

Getting back to basics.

-Toughening you lot up a bit.

-We have to wash all these?

No way, my hands will go all wrinkly.

Bucket, water, laundry, now!

Any of this seem normal to you?

Nothing about this place is normal.

PHONE RINGS

How come their phones all work and ours don't?

Yes, I'll be there shortly.

Since when did the mess turn into a workhouse laundry?

Since the arrival of our new guests.

Come on, it's not that difficult.

May I have a word?

-Not now, Casey.

-Yes, now.

I just want to know what's going on.

And an introduction to our new colleague here would be nice.

Casey, this is Major Adam Javadi. Major, this is my nephew.

Lieutenant Casey Winters.

Let's go somewhere else and talk, shall we?

SHE WHISTLES LOUDLY

Can someone tell me why we're wasting our time doing this?

Is it, "For our own safety?"

As the children of military personnel...

But I'm not a child of military personnel.

Why have I been brought here?

And why have you arrested our mom?

Don't walk away, we want answers.

No, wait!

OK, drama over.

Let's get back to the task in hand.

It's easy, just put it in the machine along with all the other stuff

you and your mum are doing.

Please, Gregor.

You're so sweet.

OK.

But you have to do me a favour too.

Pink is so your colour.

It's not mine, it's a friend's.

Your girlfriend's?

No, I don't have...

There's no-one. Well, when I say no-one...

Mackenzie.

Is that one of those weird ugly girls from the village?

What do you want me to do with this?

-What?

-Are you sure it's the right way?

-What?

-You shouldn't have said anything to her.

So how long do we carry on acting like nothing's happened?

Another day? A week? A month? A year?

Hey, guys. The spirits, they need to get a feel for us,

they have to trust us.

I mean, ideally, we'd have an EMF meter.

-What's one of those?

-Electromagnetic field meter.

Ghost hunters swear by them.

Well, I'm up for it. Slim?

-IN SPOOKY VOICE:

-A phantom figure visits the twins in the dead of night.

And then mysteriously disappears!

And we're going to try and summon it up again?

Try and stop me, ladies.

CAMERA CLICKS

Do that again and I will ram you through that mangle.

Oh, I can't anyway, you've broken it with your ugly face.

Hey!

Coward.

Hey, you!

It's Lieutenant Winters. You can call me Casey if you like.

How come your phones all work and ours don't?

We're on a special network, it's military only.

It's not just my phone, it's the internet too.

That's the online security,

it's pretty tight with this being a military base.

So how about I borrow your phone?

I need to call my lawyer.

I'll ask her why I've been sent here, seeing as no-one else will tell me.

Tell you what, why don't you give me her number

and I'll see what I can do?

Thanks, but I'll wait till I get a signal.

No probs.

Where's your laundry? We didn't see it outside on the lines.

Hi, Lexy, your stuff's in the machine.

Five more minutes?

-These are all blurred.

-The ones of me aren't.

-You can take another one if you tell us what they're for.

-Thanks.

It's this stupid girl I know in the village.

-She's kind of bribed me to take...

-What are you doing?

Give me the phone.

CRUNCHING

That guy you saw. What's he look like?

Tall, thin, dark hair?

Yeah, why?

Don't be so obvious. Over my shoulder, up there.

He's, like, standing there staring at us.

-That's him.

-Come on.

Let's nail the freak.

First floor, the lift.

OK. The best way to summon a ghost is with meditation and chanting.

I've got crystals and incense.

And snacks?

No snacks.

Guys, you're not going to believe this.

-I just happened to find an EMF app on my phone.

-Really?

Bit of a coincidence.

I know, I must have downloaded it sometime or other.

I'm into all that kind of stuff.

Whoa. It seems to be working.

Let's start with the chanting, Gaia. Let's tease this baby out.

Ohmmmm.

If you can hear us, give us a sign.

HE BURPS

Soz.

Give us a sign.

ALL: Give us a sign.

GHOSTLY MURMURS

Which of you is Luke?

You?

How about you tell us who you are first?

And why you've been spying on us.

Come with me.

-Where to?

-Just do as you're told and follow me now.

GHOSTLY MURMURS

They're trying to get a message through.

What is it?

What do you want?

-GHOSTLY VOICE:

-'I am the ghost of World's End. Help me, help me.'

Slim.

HE LAUGHS

Classic.

So not funny.

Give us a sign.

BANGING

OK, enough already, Slim.

Yeah, that wasn't me.

Right.

It's off, look.

BANGING

ALL: SCREAM

Why am I still being kept prisoner here?

-Mom.

-Mom.

-Hello, Steph.

-You.

-You told me he was no longer part of the programme.

-I lied.

-What's going on?

-I'm so sorry.

What for? Who is this man?

Do you want to tell them or shall I?

He's...

He's your father.
