Surprises World's End

Luke?

What? I thought I'd come and say hi.

You mean you still can't tell us apart? Noah's the surly one.

He's also right-handed.

You're the ambidextrous one, Noah.

You know, you have turned out

exactly as I imagined.

Oh, yeah, and how's that?

Have you taken something?

Get off of me!

No wonder Mom left you!

AJ?

I'm up. I'm up.

Sorry. The alarm must be busted.

Relax. It's the weekend. Here. Don't say I never give you anything.

Oh great. Another phone.

For heaven's sake, AJ. Some kids would die for a present like that.

There's no signal at the castle.

Fine. I'll have it back then.

No! It's great. Thank you.

Morning.

Morning.

What's he looking so pleased about?

Nice phone.

It's another guilt-gift. He'll have got it free from supplies.

So? Don't look a guilt-gift in the horse's mouth or whatever.

You should have asked first.

The key was for both of us according to you.

Did you see Dad, then?

Yeah, I saw him.

Is he mad at me for not wanting to go and stay?

Why do you even care what he thinks? For your information,

no, he wasn't mad at you, but as far as I know he was pretty mad at me.

Why?

Because he hates me.

Who hates you?

Duncan.

Don't be silly. He doesn't know either of you yet.

How could he possibly dislike you?

It's obvious he favours Luke.

So? Mom's always favoured you.

That is not true. Is that really what you think?

He got more attention I guess.

Because he was better than me at everything.

Well, when you put it like that...

It's a joke!

I love you both equally, all right? You do know that, don't you?

Yeah.

Good.

Still, I am the better looking one.

Oh, I am so much better looking than you.

Eh, I'm sorry, you will find I'm the good looking one around here, so ...

-All right.

-OK.

-OK, Mom.

KNOCK ON DOOR

I need to speak to you about Noah.

You'll excuse me if I don't stay to listen to the character assassination.

Cat! I've got a present for you.

Ta-da!

The map. You are a star!

'Caitlin Sharpe, Noah and Luke Morrelle, Lexy Winters,

'Gaia Roberts, Adam Jackson Junior, and Lars Butt

'to the mess immediately.'

Lars Butt?!

Hey, Anyone seen a Lars Butt anywhere?

-Funny. Not.

-It was quite funny.

I hope this isn't about you breaking into Dad's.

I didn't break in. I had a key, remember?

Hey, Luke, Gaia's got a theory about the ghosts.

She thinks she knows why they've been trying to contact us.

They want us to find their remains so we can lay them to rest.

Quiet everyone. Yesterday evening,

two village girls were caught attempting to break into the base.

They said they'd been invited here. Well?

If it's the two girls I think you mean

there's no way we'd invite them here.

They're totally loopy.

Your appearance in the village is going to make the locals curious....

So it's up to you lot to extinguish that curiosity.

Do we make ourselves clear?

I think they may have come looking for the cave.

What cave?

They kept going on about it. Somewhere in the castle grounds.

A place where people have been known to disappear.

Complete and utter nonsense.

Now get out of here before we decide to stop your privileges altogether.

What did you do that for?

To get a reaction. And it worked. Did you see their faces?

That cave definitely exists, Cat, and we are going to find it.

Not going to say, "I told you so", Adam?

I told you so. Good job I've got everything under control.

This is awesome.

I've uploaded a couple of tracks online if you want to hear them.

Yeah.

You want to have a listen, Lexy?

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.

Ah, the Carters. Yeah. Tragic story.

What do you think happened to them?

Nobody knows. They just disappeared. Very mysterious.

Hey, Makrazy and Stink,

next time you attempt to break in to the castle,

leave our names out of it OK?

I'm sorry, Skink, can you hear something?

No. Just some annoying whiney noise.

Poor Alice and Henry.

You've had the strongest ghost activity in your place, Slim, right?

You think that's where we should start looking?

Yeah.

I take it you've heard the voices then?

Have you been listening to our conversation?

-Well, have you?

-Maybe we have, maybe we haven't.

Why? Have you heard them? Well, we think they might be ghosts.

I suggest we go and talk somewhere private.

You should check out the tower-room. It was my nursery.

I used to hear them there all the time.

-And there's some kids' writing...

-What kind of writing?

I'll show you if you tell me what you've heard?

Thanks, Lexy, but no thanks.

Wait, Slim, what are you doing? She wants to help us.

Yeah, like Foxie-loxie wanted to help Chicken-lickin(?) AJ, we're off!

Thanks.

-Not so fast.

-This won't take long.

Maybe we should take a break?

Not yet. What do you think this is here?

The...Spelio Monument.

I'm guessing...a monument.

Why Spelio, though?

It's the name of the Greek dude it was built to commemorate.

I did classics at my old school, right,

and I think "Speleo", spelt with an "E" not an "I", means cave.

What is it you're doing exactly?

Checking to make sure he's not been experimented on.

And that he's not an alien.

Because she definitely is.

And you two need brain transplants.

So what's the verdict?

Well... You look pretty human to me.

Did anyone tell you, you have really long eyelashes?

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

-Your phone's ringing.

-What phone?

The one in your bag?

What bag?

Oh... It's your mum.

This is so embarrassing.

Hello. Yes, Mum. No, Mum.

Half an hour, Mum.

This is all your fault.

My life has been totally destroyed

along with my top of the range smartphone.

How many more times do I need to apologise?

You're the girl whose phone got totalled.

See, I'm already an object of pity.

Here. You can have this if you like.

Seriously. Take it.

I love you!

I mean...it.

-I love it. Thank you.

-It's all right.

What's that over there?

"In memory of our beloved children Alice and Henry Carter.

"Gone but always in our hearts."

It looks like it is just an old monument after all.

It doesn't make any sense, though. Why Spelio?

It has to be around here somewhere, Noah. I know it does.

-I don't think you should be doing that.

-Help me!

-Cat, stop, this is a memorial.

-I have to find that cave, Noah!

Cat, stop it!

MUFFLED VOICE ON WALKIE TALKIE

Hey, check this place out.

Look at this.

Could they have belonged to the Carters?

Not old enough, are they?

So these were Lexy's toys?

What did Lexy mean about the writing?

I can't see anything.

Hold on, I think there's something here. Has anyone got a torch?

O-UB...

Oubliette.

FOOTSTEPS

SHE GASPS

-What are you all doing in here?

-Sorry, we were...

This is my place. Get out.

Just get out! Get out!

Has anyone seen Cat?

Have you two fallen out?

Why? Where is she?

Tower room. She... She seems a bit upset.

It let me on the site. Yay!

-Well, you never know in this place.

-What are you doing?

Research. OK, listen up.

"An oubliette, from the French verb oublier,

"to forget, is a specific type of dungeon,

"with only one escape route, through a trap door in its ceiling.

"Prisoners were put in there and literally forgotten."

Ugh! But how is that linked to Alice and Henry?

Maybe that's where their bones are.

Gruesome!

We should check it out though, right?

I know where the holding cells are in this place.

Maybe this oubliette is down there.

Oh. It's you.

Are you OK?

-Sorry about...

-Why are you apologising?

Everything just...got to me. I know I must seem crazy

thinking my parents disappeared here at World's End.

You don't seem crazy.

And we're going to find that cave.

You bugged his phone?

It's surveillance software. Lots of parents do it.

And given the special circumstances here... It's really clever. Look.

This tracker shows me exactly where the phone is at any one time...

That's the village.

Yep.

And this function here allows me

to remotely turn on the microphone and the camera...

Isn't that going a bit far?

We need to know what the kids are up to

when they're away from the castle, Marcus.

AJ may not be a soul stealer, Skink.

But he just stole my heart.

What on earth...?

And if this present is anything to go by

it looks like I've stolen his.

He's given his phone away.

HE LAUGHS

Your mum spent a whole night in here?

Yeah.

STAMPING

These floors are solid.

TAPPING

No hollowed out walls either, by the sound of it.

Maybe this isn't the place after all.

Wait. I'm getting some vibes.

Guys, come on!

DOOR CLOSES

Slim?

Guys?

Guys, wait for me!
