01x03 - 43 Seconds

[bunniefuu]

So seeing as this is
probably my last chance...

- Ahhhhh.
- Let's have some fun!

What's this?

I found it in the woods
past the fence, up a tree.

Weird things happen
in these woods.

Especially around
this cabin at night.

What is going on?

This is freaking me out, Finn!

It comes out here!

Okay here it comes!

What's happening?

- You need to double-knot it.
- I am double-knotting it.

Okay. Ready.

Can't we just throw stuff
in there?

It has to be a controlled
experiment, trust me.

When anyone asks you to trust
them, it always means you can't.

Sending through
the first test object.

Got it!

Got it.

Agh!

The heavier the object,

the longer
it takes to go through.

Try the toolbox.

This doesn't seem weird to you?
That it's teleporting stuff now?

Maybe the more we dig it up,
the more powerful it gets.

But it's teleporting stuff.

Toolbox. Please.

Why didn't it go through?

Too heavy?

Maybe if all four of us were
here. If we had more power.

Why do we need to send something
heavier through anyway?

That time gap
when things disappear...

What's on the other side?

Louis? Why do we need to send
something heavier through?

It's the only way to find out

is if one of us goes
through ourselves.

I'm gonna go
through later today.

Even if your dad's not involved,

who'd set up some random
cabin just to freak people out?

I don't know but it worked!
Let's go, Bea! Come on!

Last night was insane.

Are we good?

About this being mine
and Finn's last year?

I hate that
sucking-a-lemon face!

You said it. It's your last year
so, I need to make it count.

Hey! Be careful!

You still like Finn?

We're all friends
it would be weird.

Thought you'd grown out of that.

What about you and, um...
Louis getting cozy in the cabin?

- No!
- Bea?

Bea! Can we start
paying attention?!

Okay, mum.

Gosh.

Okay, all Group A's should be
in the water by now. Come on!

Louis, we're gonna be last!

Feel free to help!

I already checked that.
Those too! Hurry up!

- Seriously?
- No one goes out there

without a lifejacket.
You two can swim?

Yeah. I was swimming
at three months old

like a baby dolphin.

Right. So last night.

Turns out that cabin
was rigged after all.

You wouldn't know
anything about that?

It's just strange.
You two showing up.

Like you were expecting it.

This is the only one your size.

Listen, can you come this side
I'm not very good with water.

I can't swim I made that up.

- What is wrong with you?
- You saw how he looked at us.

So are you really
going to jump into it?

The thing?

What if it messes
with your DNA and you come out

the other end
a deranged psychopath?

That's really specific.

What I mean is, you don't have
to be the one who goes through.

- I'll do it.
- No. No way. It has to be me.

Hey, Ariel! How's Prince Eric?

Shut your face and
get in your own lane!

Okay next volunteers. Follow me.

Put that down! We're not doing
that. The water's freezing cold.

Why did you get
dumped here anyway?

Don't you have adorable parents?

They thought
it'd be good for me.

Clearly they hadn't anticipated

the weird,
alien teleporting rock!

You coming or not?

Just because you're smart
and read sci-fi comics

you act like that thing
belongs to you.

You can go second.

No one remembers
the person who goes second!

I want to be the first person
ever to teleport.

No!
It was my plan, it was my idea.

You're even freaking out
over a bit of water

and we're wearing lifejackets!
I should be the one.

No!

Glen, stop it! Glen!

Only if I can teleport!

Glen! Stop that!

Fine! I'll think about it!

Really? Are you sure?

Because now that you've said it,
I'm a little bit nervous.

Louis wasn't kidding about this
place. Look at all this junk.

Are we going to get caught?

Probably.

Okay, look, your choice we can
either go back to the activity

and get cold and wet.

Or we could accept
that mummy and daddy

might not know
what's best for you.

And you and me could kick back
and have some fun!

It's pretty ancient.

Probably won't even boot.

No, no, no, no don't! No no!

- You walked into that.
- Fight!

Me and my sister play a lot.
I mean, we used to.

Before she moved out.

She's travelling Europe
with her university friends.

She said I could come, but mum
and dad wanted me here instead.

You know your sister
was just saying that, right?

Like she's going to
take a twelve year old

with her to Europe
with her cool uni friends.

Knock out.
Player one wins.

If you're gonna mash
the controls obviously I'll win.

She's not been herself lately.

Where do we keep
the printer toner?

This place is a mess.

Finn and Alice have always
been an influence on her.

Is that
your professional opinion?

Maybe she'd talk to us
if you opened up a little?

Come on, Steph.

There's a rumor in camp
that she, Finn and Alice

snuck off
to the old cabin last night.

Daniel. Daniel!

Elliot, if you want to look
after this hut, keep it tidy.

You beat my high-score.

I mean, they show up
at the cabin out of the blue,

and all that stuff
starts happening.

- It was strange.
- It was weird.

Dragonfly could have set it up.

Just to make you look stupid?

You thought I looked stupid?

Why did you go back into
the cabin? You and this Louis?

Why are you jealous?

What I mean is I know
I'm younger,

and we've been friends
like forever but...

As this is your last year, maybe

you and me could hang out more?

Even if Alice is busy
with activities?

We could... do that...

What are you two
gossiping about?

I...

You went out
past the fence last night?

You made me a promise, Bea.

It was my fault, Daniel.

It was my idea.
We won't do it again.

You should be setting an
example to the rest of the kids.

Your dad is wound super tight.

Hello, hello...

Do we have to do this now? Finn
already thinks me and you are...

What?

Did your group
have anything to do

with what happened last night?

No of course not. I, um...

we found something, okay,
and it's crazy and amazing

and you can't tell anyone!

But the four of us
need to be there,

and we need
someone to keep watch.

And, well, I thought of you.

Found what?
What are you talking about?

Something impossible.

We leave you alone
for five minutes

and you 'fess everything up
to the McConnells daughter!

- Just because you fancy her.
- I don't fancy her.

I fancy her.

You were the one who said nobody
could know anything about it.

If the four of us need
to be there to power it,

someone has to keep watch.
She didn't believe me anyway.

Who agreed that Glen
could jump in that thing then?

- He's not. I'm going through.
- You said you'd think about it.

You said you could swim!

Because people don't take me
seriously and you don't either.

Nobody's jumping in it!

Don't you want to know what
it is? What's on the other side?

You don't want to jump.
You don't.

And he's too scared
but he won't admit it.

- I'm going through. End of.
- Glen.

End of.

It could be dangerous.

So we just make sure it's not.

We can't toss
a chicken in there no way.

You were willing to
throw yourself in there

five minutes ago!

That's different!
What about its animal rights?

Look it's scared.

Aren't chickens, like,
automatically scared?

Isn't that why you call
someone a chicken?

Look, if you want to
know that thing's safe,

the chicken goes first.

Is this some sort of prank?
If you lot are playing a joke...

Are the boxes in position?

If by 'in position' you mean

are they piled up next to me,
then yeah.

What's supposed to happen?

Just keep watch and be ready.

You think it knows...

They sent a monkey and a dog
into space, it's just like that.

- On the same rocket?
- Not at the same time!

What if it gets stuck and I go
in and come out a half-bird boy?

We'd sell you to medical
science. Buck-buck-buck...

- Get it!
- Sorry!

Get it! Go left!

Run! Save yourself! Be free!
Save yourself!

- Get back in the box!
- It's running away!

- What the...?
- Did a chicken come through?

Did it's DNA get rearranged?
Is it psychologically damaged?

It's a chicken!
How should I know?

And where did it come from?

- I already explained.
- I didn't believe you then!

So are we good?
Happy it's safe now?

Last chance to back out.

Okay. Let's do this.

You got it?
Take a good run then jump.

And try to land on the boxes
and not on your face.

Based on your size and weight,

it should take you 43 seconds
to make it across.

Look you can still back out
now I can go myself.

No!

Where will he be?
For those forty-three seconds?

That's what
we're gonna find out.

Any moment now.

- Should we do a countdown?
- How about a drumroll?

Louise, count down from three.

Okay. Here we go. Three Two...

I might need the toilet.

- Number one or number two?
- Don't ask him that...

Honestly,
it could go either way.

Will you please just jump!

All right.

This is one small step for Glen,
one giant leap for Glen-kind!

He actually did it.

Okay he's got 43 seconds.

Come here... Hey stupid bird!

- Why don't you trust me?
- I do.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine.

What if he doesn't land
on the boxes and hurts himself?

Why wouldn't he land
on the boxes?

The sleeping bag
came out further along

than the other stuff.

It comes out here!

Objects we first sent through,
the heavier ones

landed further apart
from the others.

What if weight affects distance?

What if what?

Glen's like twenty times heavier

than anything
we've sent through!

Louis, what's going on?

If we're here. And Glen
was meant to come out here,

behind the hut.
Think, think, think.

The chicken and the sleeping
bag were a similar weight,

come out here, behind the hut.

Something of Glen's
weight would come out...

That's the middle of the lake.

- Glen can't swim.
- What?

Glen can't swim!

Come on!

Get to the lake!
Get there and run!

Bea?

Come on.

Hurry!

Are you there? Can you see him?

What were you doing?

You could have drowned!

Can you even swim?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I think so.

Though I don't need
the toilet any more.

Thanks.

I just saved his life!
Where'd he come from?

Are you from the camp?

Look, we don't want any trouble.

Otto quiet!

Louis! Come on, we've gotta go.

What have you lot
got yourselves into?

- Did he come out of the sky?
- You're not a part of this.

Meg, take this. Well?

What was it like?
What did you see?

Everything happened so fast.

You don't remember anything?

I don't know.
It's all just a blur.

Come on, let's get you back.
