Foraging About World's End

Second, first, ground...

That's it, cellar.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Cat?

-Hey!

-Hey.

What if I told you I may have found your cave?

Take a look at this.

There's another area here, underneath the cellar.

See?

How do we get down there?

This is the door.

But it's locked, so...

Maybe the ghosts have gone away.

I mean, we haven't heard them knocking lately.

They'll be back. I can feel it. We need to find that oubliette...

If Alice and Henry's bones are really down there...

Alice and Henry?

Those were the names we saw on that monument, weren't they?

What monument?

Far side of the castle grounds, by the old mill tower.

Do you know who they are?

Yeah, they're two kids who disappeared in the '60s.

Disappeared?

Yeah, we think they're haunting the place.

It's just a theory.

But what were you two doing over by the mill tower?

-We were looking for...

-Something.

-"Something"? Right.

What's going on in here?

Everyone outside, for Life Skills.

Now!

Since when did you stop telling me stuff, Noah?

Nettles. Very good, Lexy.

Ow!

Wild garlic - excellent.

Dandelions. Good, Luke...

Gaia says you can eat this.

-Clover? Correct.

-Yes!

Is that everyone?

Hurry up, Slim! It's supposed to be a race.

Mint?

You got that from the castle herb garden, didn't you?

Yep.

The task was to find something edible growing wild.

Oh...

One lap of the castle grounds for coming last -

-and one for cheating.

-LAUGHTER

-Well, I didn't cheat, I just misunderstood the...

-Go!

We're hardly going to find wood for a fire in here.

Who says we're looking for wood? Keep watch.

There are more of these dotted around.

We need to find them all.

What are we doing, exactly?

It's like one of those cookery programmes,

where they give you five ingredients

and you have to conjure up something delicious out of it!

-LAUGHTER

-Hey, AJ?

I've got something for you.

Ugh! Gregor...

your cologne's a bit strong.

It's not me. It's this.

It's for you.

Oh. Thanks, Gregor. You shouldn't have(!)

It's from Mackenzie.

Guys, guys...listen up, I've found something...

Oh. Hi, Gregor.

Ooh!

A letter for AJ...

-LAUGHTER

-..and smelling of air freshener.

Nice.

-AS MACKENZIE:

-"Hey, gorgeous...

"I just wanted to say, I'm loving the phone you gave me..."

You gave her your new phone?

Yeah. So?

"Meet me at the cafe this afternoon

"and I can thank you in person.

"Laters, Mackenzie."

LAUGHTER

Looks like you've got an admirer, AJ.

You gave her your phone? That's so sweet. You must really like her.

No!

-AJ's in love!

-Aw!

Yeah, right. I mean, as if. Yuck!

What's he doing in here?

Oh. Hi, Lexy.

Nothing. I mean, when I say "nothing",

I'm obviously here doing something.

-Obviously. I...

-Forget it. Life's too short. Anyone seen Noah and Cat?

They were supposed to meet me outside to help me with the fire,

but I can't find them anywhere.

OK, that's the last.

The heat is on.

Well done.

Dandelion, nettle and clover soup....delicious.

Message from your dad, Gaia. He needs to see you after lunch.

-You can go up to the office.

-OK, sure.

No, thanks, I'm allergic to dandelions.

Mmm. It's really not that bad.

It's hot water, with dandelion heads floating in it.

Trust me, it's bad.

How are you getting on with that new phone, AJ?

Um...good. Yeah.

Not managed to lose it yet, then?

Nope.

Oh!

Is it me, or is it hot in here?

It's hot.

Yeah, tropical.

No wonder - the radiator's blasting out.

What? They shouldn't even be on.

Guys?

Oubliettes - and guess what?

I think I know where ours is...

Where are we going?

Hello? Major Javadi, here.

Yeah, I need a technician to come out and check out the boiler.

What exactly is an oubli-wotsit, anyway?

If you'd come with us yesterday,

instead of hanging out with the girlies, you'd know.

It's a secret dungeon.

We think Alice and Henry's bones might be down there.

-Cool.

-Here we go.

You have to admit, it does look like an oubliette.

"In memory of our beloved children, Alice and Henry Carter -

"gone, but always in our hearts."

That's so sad.

Do you think they built a stone memorial

where the bodies disappeared?

Yeah - the oubliette.

Why weren't the bodies ever found?

Maybe there was a zombie waiting down there and ate them all up...

AJ GROWLS GAIA SQUEALS

I'm not sure this is an oubliette, Slim.

There are steps here, look. An oubliette wouldn't have those.

So what is it, then?

Some kind of secret passage.

Shall we go down and take a look?

-ALL:

-No!

-No way!

I don't want to end up like Alice and Henry.

Oh, don't be such wimps. Hey, I'm up for it.

It's bolted down.

Well, that's because it's a safety grid. Clue's in the name.

OK, so let's find some tools and get it undone. Let's go.

I really don't think we should be doing this.

Come on...

It was interesting, what Luke said - about those two kids?

I'm thinking, what if they disappeared in this cave, too?

Are you OK?

Yeah.

No.

I don't like keeping secrets from my brother.

I know.

But until we know for certain that there really is

this mysterious cave where people have disappeared...

Listen to me.

I sound like that girl in the village - what's her name -

Mackenzie?

Hardly.

Please don't tell him, Noah.

Not yet.

WHISTLING

KEYPAD BEEPS

Is this a good idea?

Because...you know...

It seems a little bit dangerous to me.

Hey, AJ!

I can see your girlfriend from here -

she's taking photos of the castle with her "love gift".

I don't have a girlfriend - and I didn't give her a "love gift".

-SLIM CACKLES

-Got you!

Slim, I thought you were into this?

I am, I am.

OK...something to take off the grid...

Nope...

I suppose we could always borrow my dad's tool-kit.

Why didn't you suggest that ten minutes ago?

Because his mind's on other things, now that he's got a girlfriend...

Right! That's it.

Where you going?

She's not my girlfriend, all right? I'm off to make sure she knows that.

This, I have got to see!

No, Slim...

Sorry. We'll do it when I get back, yeah? Promise.

Well, looks like it's just you and me, then, Gaia.

Two of us can't go by ourselves. It's not safe.

And anyway, I forgot, my dad wants to talk to me.

Sorry, Luke. Got to go.

Perfect.

How long will you be gone?

A few days, maybe longer.

Why can't I come with you?

It's work. You'd be bored.

I think Stockholm is where Slim's parents are stationed.

Is it?

Maybe I'll pop along, introduce myself.

I don't see why I have to move out, though.

I mean, Cat stays on her own...

Indulge me. You know what a worrier I am.

It's hot in here today, isn't it?

Yeah, the boiler's sound.

Some joker must have tampered with the thermostats.

-KEYPAD BEEPS

-I'll check them now.

Great plan for getting us in, but how are we going to get out?

Let's worry about that later.

-RADIO:

-'If you're out and about today,

'the weather looks set to hold, which will make a change.

'You should see a welcome bit of sun, too...'

AJ!

-Hi...

-This is awesome -

-Mackajay's first date.

-Who's "Mackajay"?

You and her, you numpty! Sweet.

-What's he doing here?

-Yes, what are you doing here?

Don't worry. I won't get in the way of your date.

How many more times? This is not...

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. Gregor, menus - now!

How about you and I get to know each other a little better?

So...what does "AJ" stand for, exactly?

Adam Javadi. It's my name. It's also my dad's name. Now, I...

I'm just "Mackenzie", because Mackenzie's like my surname,

but my ma really liked it as a first name too, so, just "Mackenzie".

Like Madonna?

-More like Rihanna...

-Or Adele?

Why is everyone so interested in crashing our date?

Yes, about this date...

Are you two...together now?

-No!

-Yes.

We're...

..taking things...slowly?

According to the map,

the entrance to the underground area

is definitely in this part of the cellar.

What is in this thing?

What is that?

DEVICE BEEPS

-BOTH:

-Whoa.
