01x06 - Here There Be Monsters: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

We have a phone here
if ever you wish to call them.

My foster parents?
Good luck with that.

Hey, Louis.
We should get together today.

He said he's busy.

The crazy stuff about the woods
that you tell all the newcomers.

Tell me.

I leave and you
don't have the four

and that thing won't work.

You won't disappear.

We activated it.

Show me.

Just draw it on the light.

Don't!

No, don't!

Meg?

- I feel sick.
- You didn't even know her.

She vanished,
just like those other kids.

Don't say that.

Did anyone see Elliot today?
I thought I saw him.

Who cares about Elliot?

It dropped me at the lake.

It could have sent Meg
somewhere close by?

We looked everywhere for her.

We need to tell someone.

Your mum and dad aren't
going to be able to do anything.

Not my mum and dad.

We'll call the police
or someone who knows what to do.

Kaz, maybe Bea's right?

We can't trust the authorities!

The only thing they're
gonna care about is the rock,

and what it does, and not Meg.

Louis.

He can figure this out.

He knows more about
that thing than any of us,

he came here looking for it.

You! You can get Meg back.

- Kaz...
- Figure it out!

And you're not telling anyone.

Listen up!

Some of you may have
noticed we're down an attendee.

Meg decided to leave,

but Daniel and I wanted
to stave off any rumors

on the whys and wherefores.

Meg just wasn't ready to be here

but we're sure
she'll be back next year.

You're sitting with them now?
Seriously?

- It's not what you think.
- So?

Tell me.

I can't. Not right now.

Look, whatever's
going on with your dad,

or Dragonfly,
don't shut me and Alice out

because of what
happened between us.

Okay, I'm worried about you.

I didn't say anything.

Just making sure.

Daniel?

You want to get out of here?

You'd probably follow me anyway.

Liam, come on!
We've got to get back!

It's my favorite hoodie.
I'll catch up with you later.

Okay everyone, into your groups.

Can you? Get her back?

Daniel and Steph think
that Meg went back home,

and Meg's parents think
that she stayed.

- We still have time.
- Can you get her back?

Where have you been?

I had a lot to think about.

Hey!

Look, what you saw,
it wasn't anything...

I was imagining things?

Meg didn't go
ffft into thin air?

The thing in the ground?

How about these?

Where'd you...

Look, you have
to keep this to yourself!

Until we can get Meg back.

If this gets out.

I know where it is and I have
the codes to make it work.

Elliot!

What are you going to do?
I'll make it right!

Meg!

Meg! Meg!

It's a lot easier
sneaking out of camp

when you're
with the McConnells' daughter.

How am I the enemy
by wanting to tell someone?

You just feel bad
about what happened

and you want it to be
someone else's problem.

- No!
- Meg's trying to stop us.

She was worried about us,
and we just, sent her,

somewhere.

Do you know how that feels?

I didn't know
you did feel things.

She's out there some place.

Alone.

We can't give up on her.

What is it?

Nothing.

What is this place?

Home.

Meg? Meg? Meg! Hey!

You, live here?

Summers at the camp,
rest of time this's home.

I sneak back sometimes.
Watch some TV.

You got any video games?

I don't play video games.

Course you don't.

What's all this?

I got some numbers we can try.

- People that might help us.
- You're unbelievable!

This is why you came back here?

I could've come here
without you and called anyway.

We need to tell someone
who knows what to do.

It's an alien rock,
nobody knows what to do!

Do you trust anyone over twenty?

Not really no.

Louis is freaking out.
Glen is, Glen.

We're out of our depth.

If you care about
getting Meg back,

we need to tell someone now!

What are you doing
out here all alone?

Did you swim out here?

I saw something. I got scared.
So I swam.

Something scary?

Really? Like, an animal?

Where?

- You don't believe me.
- No! I just...

There's something out there.

Something bad in the woods.

Hello?

Anyone home?

Anybody in there?

I know you're watching.

Hello?

Hello?

Anyone home?

You're Elliot, Louis's friend?

I wouldn't go that far.

And like you don't have
a file on me.

Why would I have a file on...

never mind. Look,
whoever you suppose I am,

it's not what you think.

And yet here you are.

What is it you want to show me?

That thing, in the ground.

They powered it up.
And I'm betting,

you'd like to see
how they did it.

Unless,
that's not why you're here?

Louis will fix it.

And do what? Try something else

and then Glen
disappears forever?

Meg has not gone forever.

We've no idea what
that thing in the ground is

or what it could do.
We're just kids.

Maybe you are.

I know it hasn't been
easy for you.

I read my dad's notes about you.
About you being in foster care.

- Always running away.
- Here it comes...

Always in trouble
with the police.

This is just about you
not trusting the authorities.

Why don't you go to your dad?

Why are we here and not
in his office using his phone?

Things are a bit...

He knows. He always knew.

I mean,
he knew those kids who vanished.

Why would he build a camp here?

- I...
- You don't trust him.

What do you keep looking at?

Kaz? Kaz?

Is there a way out the back?

Are you being serious?
What, where are you going?

Maybe I do have problems with
authority, but you're wrong.

Fine. Whatever.

Me saying,
'Louis will fix it' is because

even though I'd never
admit it to his face,

Louis is really smart.

And he will think
of a way to get Meg back.

I'll show you how it works, and
you make sure I'm a part of it.

Help me out with this, yeah.

Where is it? Aarrggh!

I am so sorry.

What are you playing at?
What is this?

You'd better stick
to your promise.

You're one of us now.

What is going on, Louis?

You're gonna answer
some questions.

My friend Meg disappeared

and I need to know
how to get her back.

Karen?

Karen Knowels? Is that you?

- Karen?
- Shut your face.

Who is it?

Is there another way
out of here?

- Is it social services?
- Key.

Come on!

If you're in trouble
I might be able to help?

Unbelievable. Well...

I'm gonna have to applaud you,
Louis,

for making me
look like an idiot.

And the actual rock?

- It's over there.
- Yeah. Is Elliot still up there?

Elliot? We do
have a file on you,

actually,
and this is going on it!

Is he serious?

Was that you watching out there

from the woods the whole time?

You could have just asked!

Look, it was the only way
to get the truth.

Look. I'm sorry about Meg. Okay?

Maybe if you didn't
destroy my camera,

I could have stopped it
from happening.

Like I saved Glen.

It just seems like you
keep messing up, Louis.

Now, why don't you
just get me out of here, yeah?

Not until I get what I want.
Look, where is she...?

I don't know.

That day in the cabin.

You asked
if it had contacted me.

So?

It put these in our heads.

We used it to turn it on.

My friend, Meg,
vanished in the light.

It's all my fault.
That's all I know.

All right.

I'm here to watch.

To give them progress updates,
inform them if it contacted you.

Inform who?

It doesn't matter who. We can't
get Meg back, it's too late.

No.

I don't believe that.

We could activate it again.

I'll tie a rope around
myself and I'll go through.

I can bring Meg back home.

That's your plan, is it?

- Well, it's one of them.
- Switch it on, again?

What is that thing for?

Where does it send people?

Who was that woman?
Are you in trouble?

You didn't read
your dad's notes about it?

She's not supposed
to know I'm here.

Go. Go!

Don't, don't shove me!

- Anyone there?
- No. We'll go back to the camp.

Where'd you think
she's heading next?

Do you have any bus money?

Bus money? There isn't
another bus for hours.

You're running away.

What about Meg?

What was that?

Elliot's still out there!

Louis, look at me.

You need to tell me
exactly what happened.

You activated the artefact.

The rock.

- I told you, Meg disappeared.
- Specifically.

I don't know what you're asking!

Did you notice anything else?

Did you see anything else,
before it closed?

I don't think so. Why?

What's going on?

I'll give you a bunk up.

We need to get some place
safe. We can't just stay here.

Go on...

Grab on, I'll pull you up.

Run!

Kaz?

You should go.

Go on...

Kept the same car.

All these years.

Well, it's a good car.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, Mum.

You okay?

Yeah, me neither.

We'll be safe in here, yeah.

Before? What did you mean,

if I saw anything
else after the light?

- Doesn't matter, it can wait.
- What did you mean?

That, thing, out there,
where did it come from?

Okay, the four of you.

You sent Meg through it.

And,
whatever's on the other side,

they sent something too.
