Disappearances World's End

No less mysterious by daylight.

So, who do you think might be haunting us?

Well, we ruled out Gaia's mum cos she was claustrophobic

and now your dad's not dead any more.

We've no idea.

Then I guess it's time to do some research, guys.

Aw! Does that involve books? Cos you do know I'm allergic!

Talking of books, the demon awaits.

Come on!

The units of momentum are the product of the units of mass

and velocity.

I've been thinking.

-We should talk to my mom about you being here before.

-Ssh!

Seriously. My mom worked here years ago and...

Just drop it, OK.

OUT!

I'm fed up with your disruptive influence in class.

-I was talking, too.

-Did I ask you to speak?

Fine! I didn't want to be in your stupid class anyway.

-And THAT is the attitude I'm talking about.

-You can't do this.

Keep out of it, Noah. I can fight my own battles.

Cat, wait!

Why are you mad at me?

I mean, OK, maybe it wasn't the right time to talk, but...

I'm not mad at you, it's her.

Why does she hate me so much?

I'd appreciate being kept in the loop, Duncan, that's all I'm saying.

Morning.

Morning!

-Why does my dad hate me so much?

-Maybe you puked over him as a baby.

You should go back to class or Lena'll be onto you.

Yeah. You going to be OK?

I'm always OK.

GIRL'S VOICE: Cat! Cat! Catch me.

Then send someone over to help them, Adam!

Are they incompetent or what?! It's hardly rocket science.

So now it's sightings, too?

Wow! The spirits must be getting stronger!

Yeah, I'm going to go to the cafe later to do some research,

if you want to come?

Oh, for...!

Do I have to deal with everything?

Class dismissed for the day.

CHEERING

Is anything the matter, Mummy?

Oh, please, stop pestering me, Lexy!

Er... Cafe?

I can't, it's Friday.

He goes running with his dad on Fridays.

-When he can be bothered to show up.

-Well, Major Javadi is a very...

BOTH: ..busy man.

To be honest, I don't even like running.

I'd much rather watch a DVD or grab a pizza.

So why...?

His dad's a fitness freak. AJ's making an effort.

Mm, unlike my dad.

-Aw! That's so sad.

-No, it isn't.

Hey, you've had some great guilt gifts recently haven't you, pal?

Yeah, got an Mp3, a smartphone, a camera...

Two games consoles.

And what about that guitar? You have to admit, THAT was seriously cool.

Hey!

You all right?

It happened again. That deja vu thing.

None of it makes any sense, Noah!

Why would my parents bring me here?

As far as I know they had nothing to do with the military.

-They were aid workers.

-Were?

Past tense?

They're not dead, OK?

I never said they were!

Hello!

You guys off to where it's all happening?

World's End Cafe? Yeah...buzzing.

Ha-ha! Still, it's nice to get out of the Castle now and again, right?

You call World's End out? Huh!

-She's just...

-OK, I get it.

It's a new place and all that. She's finding it hard.

How about you?

You know.

I'd say your dad's finding it pretty hard too.

Yeah, right!

-It'll work out mate, you'll see.

-Thanks.

I thought maybe you'd decided to take up rambling?

No way, the Boy Scout look really doesn't suit me.

Moira's out and Gregor's getting changed.

Are they like the only people who ever use this place or what?

Hi, I'm Luke.

So, what do you two know about the history of World's End?

What DON'T we know?

Quite a lot actually.

Skink!

Suppose we could tell you some stuff...at a price.

Yeah? What price is that?

You tell us exactly what's going on up at that castle!

Deal.

You'll have to do the run without me, AJ.

Got some business to attend to. Sorry, son.

And make sure you do the full 5K this time!

And UFOs have been sighted over the castle, too.

Oh, and then there was the Yeti footprint.

Have you ever heard any rumours about the Castle being haunted?

Oh, yeah! Like a million times haunted.

Really?

Oh! And there's a mysterious cave somewhere in the grounds

where people have like...

-disappeared.

-Cave?

-Yeah.

World's End is like a magnet

-that draws the weird and wonderful to it.

-Including you lot.

That's right. Cos you're, like, weird.

In what way "weird"?

And, he is like...

BOTH: Wonderful!

You all right?

He did it again. I'm starting to get a complex.

So, tell us about some of these ghosts.

There's supposed to be a one-legged woman with

a three-legged dog that haunts the battlements.

If you don't believe us, ask Gregor.

I think there might be mention of ghosts in one of my mum's books.

She's into local history.

Can we have a look?

Sure.

Hang on, what about our deal?

You haven't told us what's going on up at the castle yet?

Do you really want to know?

Zilch! That's what's going on.

What's zilch?

World's End Castle is a military base - end of.

Oh, yeah. So, why have you lot all suddenly been brought there?

Good question.

Can I have a word?

That cave you mentioned...

..you said people had disappeared there?

Yeah. So?

Recently? Like, in the last 15 years or so?

Totally. Yeah, but the military, like, cover it up.

Why would they do that?

Because they're working alongside the aliens, that's why!

They're providing them with specimens to experiment on.

Hey, you don't buy into all that, do you?

Nah!

You not want that?

Hey guys, guess what?

According to this there was a cave at World's End in the 13th century.

Those freaky girls were right?

Yeah, I guess pirates used it as a hideout, apparently.

Cool!

And the castle was built round it at a later date.

Maybe you should check out the title of the book?

Myths and legends of World's End?

Point taken, Noah.

Are those two an item now?

Cat! Not going to look for a cave by any chance?

Why the interest?

-It's silly...

-Try me.

When I was four,

my parents disappeared whilst out doing aid work out in Borneo.

-They were never found.

-Hence the trust fund?

I have no memories of ever being in Borneo.

But you do have memories of being here?

Exactly.

And that means my parents were here, too.

So, what if they didn't disappear in Borneo, Noah?

What if they disappeared here?

In a cave?

Yeah, well, I said it was silly.

No, wait! Cat, I'm sorry.

I want to help, OK? And...

I know where to get a proper map of this place.

-Where?

-Leave it with me.

I mean, who do they think they are?

They come here, pump us for information, steal our books...

Strictly speaking, they're Gregor's mum's books.

And what do they give us in return? Zilch!

Yeah, Zilch.

Which isn't very interesting, right?

Right, I've got everything. OK, Gregor, won't be long, darling.

I got a plan!

Gregor's mum! Gregor's mum!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

I love your scarf. Is it vintage?

-Well, it's certainly old.

-And those shoes... Oh, wow!

Er... Did I ever tell you why my parents gave me the name Skink?

I thought it was your nickname?

No, my ma named me after her favourite food, Cullen Skink.

-A fish stew?

-I know!

How cool is that?!

-PHONE RINGS

-Excuse me.

Hello!

CALL GOES DEAD

We're going to get inside that castle

and find out EXACTLY what's going on up there.

Hi, I have got the laundry for blocks A and B.

-Can I see your pass, please?

-I'm sorry, it is in the van.

SHE SNIFFS

SHE SNEEZES

What are you two doing?

SHE YAWNS

What? Where am I?

Skink, wake up, we've been sleepwalking again.

I wasn't born yesterday. Out!

What's going on over there?

SKINK LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

AW!

OK, guys, I've got a list here of all the previous owners

of the castle.

It's time to get serious.

KNOCKS ON DOOR

Duncan?

Guys, I think I got something.

OK, the Carters, who owned the place in the 1960s had two children,

Alice and Henry, who went missing one day while playing hide and seek.

They were never found.

Presumed dead.

Looks like we've found our ghosts.

Who's in there?

Luke?
