Stealing Time World's End

I swear it's true. Look, we saw the proof.

-There's already been one mission to Titan.

-And our twins are going next.

-It wasn't a cover story?

-It's still as good as murder.

They'll never come back.

We have to tell Cat, come on.

- What's the rush? We're meeting her back here in a few minutes.

KNOCKING

LOUDER KNOCKING

-Maybe she's in the shower and she can't hear us.

-Yeah.

Something bad has happened to him, I know it has.

-What if he never got rid of that Pictish ball?

-Kenzie.

Come on, sit.

It's time for me to rip off the sticking plaster.

What are you talking about?

Have you thought that maybe he's just not that into you?

Nooooo!

-You do realise you're now several hours late?

-Mac will understand.

Anyway, I've got to get out this place.

You are right.

Things are getting weirder by the minute. You know what?

-We deserve some respect for what we did today.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Noah, Cat, all of them.

From now on they're going to have to sit up and take notice.

SNIFFING: Oh, and they'll certainly notice that.

Hey, are you coming or not?

Not.

-She's late.

-Quelle surprise.

-She'll have done her usual and gone it alone.

-She wouldn't do that.

Hello? She did it earlier today,

-went to crack the combination on Casey's secret door.

-Hey.

So what did Cat say about me and AJ's detective work?

-Impressed or what?

-We haven't seen her yet.

-Can we go?

-Where to?

-The SZ. We're going to steal the object.

-What?

You heard what Cat said, they worship that thing.

-No way will they let you just take it.

-That's why we need Cat.

I told you she'll be down there already, we're wasting time, Luke.

Going out?

Mmm-hmm. And before you ask, you're not invited.

Not so fast.

Where were you and Slim earlier today when you bunked class?

-I can't remember.

-You went to meet those girls, didn't you?

Yes. That's exactly what we did.

Is that where you're going now?

-Wow, you are good.

-AJ, be serious.

Now, this MacAulay girl.

-Her name's Mackenzie.

-Whatever. I don't want you getting too involved.

-You never know, we may have to move again soon.

-Move?

Where to? We just got here.

Even if we don't have to move,

you can't bunk off class to go meet a girl.

That's not good enough, AJ.

She's not good enough, you mean.

I know you don't like her.

Well, tough, because I do.

DOOR CLOSES

Hang on. Gaia!

Couldn't wait to get out of there, right?

It's actually a relief to be working.

It takes my mind off things.

Did you see my sister when you were in the secret zone?

Yeah, I tell you, that girl is chillier than a chilli pepper.

Isn't a chilli pepper hot?

Yeah, so what? She's scary. SHE LAUGHS

Great, could it get any worse? He's dumped me for Gaia Gaga.

Hey.

-Am I glad to see you.

-Me too.

-I haven't had a break all day.

Right, of course. Best get my apron on.

Oh, but I'm glad to see you as well.

Not just in a, "I need some help," kind of glad,

if you know what I mean.

I know what you mean.

Mackenzie? Hello?

Did you not hear what I said?

You broke her heart and she never wants to talk to you ever again.

Oh.

Right, OK.

What did you say that for?

AJ, wait! I haven't finished with you yet.

-Did you come here with her?

-Yeah.

I knew it.

-I bumped into her on the way here.

-No, WITH her.

Is she your girlfriend, you muppet?

No, of course not. I mean, you are.

-At least, I thought you were.

-Oh, baby.

What are you doing?

-Sitting down?

-I haven't forgiven you yet!

Compared to this, it's just not right.

Let's find Cat and quick.

Hello. Is my sister with you?

No, we were hoping she was with you.

-Maybe we should go back.

-What for?

-I'm worried about her.

-Worried? Is she in danger?

-Probably not but she...

We should finish what we set out to do.

Cat has a plan but we need some help from you first. From all of you.

Absolutely not. Now get out of here before I call The Mentors.

-We just want to borrow it, examine it, find out...

-No!

Wait!

Let's hear what they have to say.

The Origin will be furious at us for even...

The Origin seems to have deserted us.

What if we can prove that The Origin is not what you think he is?

We want to check and see

if the object really is as special as he claims.

And we're not taking it, we're borrowing it.

We'll bring it back, we promise.

How will you borrow it? It's protected.

Can we go see it at least?

No. What are you thinking?

-Adam, wait.

-We've been looking for answers.

If we trust them, we might finally find some.

Lars, do you agree?

KNOCKING DOOR OPENING

Just going down to the village, anything you want fetching back?

Apart from a one-way ticket out of here, you mean?

It hasn't been so bad, has it?

It hasn't been that great.

Do you know what?

You might actually find that you might miss this place, you know?

If we ever... Well, if we ever did leave.

OR miss someBODY.

I thought you were going to the village?

Oh, hello, Cat. Go through, Noah's just in his room.

-Cat?

-No, it's me.

Luke is worried about my sister.

Can you help me find her?

I'll even give you the marshmallows off the top of my hot chocolate.

What do you think, Skink? Should I forgive him yet?

You're right, he's suffered enough. I'll let you off this once.

But, babes, easy on the spray next time, yeah?

Feels funny this. YOU serving ME.

Is that the manuscript Luke mentioned?

I couldn't find anything in it. Thought I'd try on here instead.

-Is that like the circle in the cave?

-A bit.

This is the printout Luke gave me.

Look, this one's got these weird carvings on it.

Is it connected to some ancient religion maybe?

"Ancient religious icons."

It could be some kind of alter.

I think you're right. Nice one, Gaia.

These are the weird symbols I saw

when I was in that underground lab I told you about.

I thought we could work together on cracking what these are.

How do we turn them off?

They get switched off for us at the summonings.

I could manoeuvre my way around those.

What's the worst that can happen?

If I set off the alarm, we make a run for it.

And leave us to take the blame? I don't think so.

-I won't set it off in any case.

-You sure you're up for this?

Where's Caitlin?

DOOR OPENS

She's not in her room, the mess or the tower room.

Gaia thinks The Origin may have punished her.

No, this is all my fault. Come on.

KNOCKING

Casey. Casey! I have to keep looking.

Go back to my room and wait for me there.

No, I'm coming with you this time! No arguments.

You're getting almost as bossy as your sister. Come on.

There's no way I can get up without touching one of them.

-Can you roll out?

-That lowest beam's a millimetre away from her nose.

I knew this was a bad idea.

I think I know how to turn them off.

Now he tells us.

The system has a 20 second window to allow the code to be reset.

Which we don't want to do as they'll know it's been tampered with.

And as we don't know the original code either,

-I'll have to short circuit it.

-Cut to the point, will you?

I think I'm going to sneeze.

During that time the alarm is off.

If the code isn't entered or changed within 20 seconds it reactivates.

Is that enough time for you to grab that object

and get out of there, Lexy?

Only one way to find out.

-Cat.

-Noah.

I've never been so pleased to see anyone in my entire life.

-What are you doing here?

-I was worried about you.

-Are you all right?

-It was thanks to her we found you.

I am so sorry, Cat, this is all my fault.

If I hadn't blabbed to Casey about...

-Hey, don't beat yourself up about it. Just get me out of here.

-How?

We need to tell someone. How about your mum? She's our safest bet.

-She's gone to the village.

-Lena then.

-Lena? You're joking, right?

We're running out of options. And she's no fan of Casey, so...

You need to be gone by the time I come back with her.

The Origin is responsible for you being here?

Now do you believe me when I tell you that he can't be trusted?

You better go.

Caitlin?

Thank you.

Hurry, I'm getting cramp. What's taking so long?

I need to make sure I'm deactivating the lasers,

not setting off the alarms.

OK, I think I've got it.

-Yes.

-20, 19, 18, 17, 16...

-Take it off!

-I can't, it's stuck!

..14, 13, 12, 11, 10 seconds!

You're absolutely sure? It doesn't make any sense. Casey did it?

-But why?

-We have no idea.

He's scary and crazy.

He seems to think I know something about a plan of his.

-And do you?

-No.

But he's dangerous. That much I do know.

4, 3, 2...

-Get out of there!

-..1!

-You did it.

-We're not clear yet.

If they don't all reactivate the alarm will still go off.

I told him, I warned him.

He can't be trusted any more, Adam, not with anything.

What is all this stuff?

And why has he got the crew operation manual in here?

I think he's planning to sabotage the mission.

DOOR UNLOCKS

Last one.

OK, we're clear.

Thank you. We'll take care of this, I promise.

And we'll bring it back as soon as we're...
