01x09 - This Is the Way Our World Ends

[bunniefuu]

I sit in that car

and I dream
of being somewhere else.

I thought if I told you
the other kids vanished

twenty-three years ago,
you'd get scared.

I always dreamed
she'd come and take me home.

This can't be real!

My mum shows up,
Glen falls for a mermaid!

We're creating
these things somehow.

The dinosaur
and the mermaid,

that was sub conscious

but clearly
we can do it consciously.

Meg? This whole time,
what if Meg didn't disappear?

What if we're the ones
that vanished?

That distortion,
I've never seen that before.

I don't think
we're going anywhere.

They will let us out.
Eventually right?

Where are you sneaking off to?

Right. They're watching.

Those other four kids
that vanished.

If this is what happened to
them, they could still be here.

They might know something.

I should go.

It's probably not a good idea
we hang out, in case.

We, think the same thing?

How do we know that's not
what they want us to do?

None of this is real.

And I'm still sat
in this car like always,

feeling sorry for myself.

Get in. We'll look together.

Get in?

Like, right now?

Yeah. Get in.

Okay.

Help me concentrate.
It probably won't even work.

Bea. We need to be
careful with this stuff.

Fine. I'll do it on my own.

Petrolandengine.
Petrolandengine.

Comoncomeoncomeon.

Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeon!!

Bea, this is a really bad idea!

Bea, I'm not sure about this!

We created this place,
we might as well enjoy it!

Hey again.

I didn't know if you'd still be
here. I'd hoped you were.

I got you these.

You can put them in water,
or hold them.

Which is probably
the same thing.

You look handsome today.

I tried on like six
different shirts.

- You're a mermaid.
- Yep.

My mum's a pescatarian.

If we get married,
is that going to be a problem?

I still owe you
a swimming lesson.

Come on in, the water's lovely.

Glen! We need to go!

- But...
- It's important.

This isn't so hard.

Could you check the mirror?

Why? Have I got
something on my face?

No, for traffic! The mirror!

Calm down, dad,
there aren't any other cars.

Besides,
it's basically driving itself.

And Finn told me
what the pedal things do.

Finn.

I mean, I'm just saying,
if he knew what he was on about,

he wouldn't be calling
them 'pedal things'.

What are you doing?

Give it a try, it's fun!

Go on!

You really think those
other kids are still out there?

Wouldn't they be in their,
like, thirties by now?

I suppose.

So, what's the plan?

Find them and see what they know

about where we are

and who's behind all this,
who put us here.

Bea!

What are we doing here?
I was on a date, I think.

No doors, no exits. Nothing.
Just the rock, dead center.

It's how we got in.
It's how we get out.

We already tried.
It doesn't work.

I have to do something. No
one else seems to be bothered.

Why do you have
to hate on everything?

You're dating a fish,
so there's that. You know,

you're basically
fancying yourself, right?

You heard Elliot?
This is some kind of test,

to see what we do in here.

I don't think that
includes trying to escape.

I'm not going
to pass their test.

- You don't know that.
- I'll fail! I always do.

So, we need
to find another way out.

Bea! Are you okay?

Are you hurt? Are you injured?
Bea!

What was that?

I told you we needed
to be more careful. Come on.

Why are you smiling?

I drove a car!

Well, sort of!

You sure you're okay?

I've been getting headaches.

I never really said thanks for,
the monster. And, you know?

Did you just mime
me hugging you?

Where do you think
we are? I mean, really?

- Who are they?
- I dunno.

Are we really talking
about aliens

and space and all that stuff?

Did you ever look up
at the stars?

My dad and I would do it
all the time.

Imagine all the strange
and amazing things out there.

Show me.

- What?
- Try.

What is going on?

You're wasting your time!

You can't draw
on the symbols yourself.

I'm done with being assessed.

What do you want to do, spend
the rest of our lives in here?

No! Of course not.
But there's good here too.

Do you think a girl like that

would ever look at me
in the real world?

There must be
something you want.

That you've always dreamed of.

Wait, wait, wait.

Seriously?

I am probably going to eat this
afterwards... Just make a wish.

No! And it's not my birthday.

You don't have to say it
out loud. Just make a wish.

Give it a try.

All right.

So the light
from each star you see

took a long time to get here.

Everyone knows that.

But all the stars are
different distances away.

Meaning that you're
looking five years,

twenty years, one hundred
or even a million years

into the past,
all at the very same time.

You're not just looking
into the past,

you're looking through time.

It's like seeing
in four dimensions.

You ever think
those other kids who vanished?

That they just didn't
want to go back?

I've lived here my entire life

and being in here,

it's like the first time
I've ever felt free.

What is it?

Louis, something's wrong.

- What did you do?
- Nothing!

That lightning thing woke it up!

It's us.

Meg.

Louis! Louis, where are you?

- Glen?
- The Thing, this place,

it's meant for us three and Meg,
not Bea!

Meg was the one who first
activated it with us, remember?

Did I not do it right?

We need to get Bea out of here!

- Where's Kaz?
- Back at the rock.

Is she gonna faint?

I'm not going to faint.
And I'm standing right here!

It's getting worse.
Was it activated?

- I don't know. Sort of.
- Could it get us out of here?

I don't know. It was glitchy.

Do you think that's why
this is happening? Because...

Bea's here and not Meg?

Louis? Louis!

Did that move?

- It's closing in!
- What's closing in?

Put your arm under her shoulder,
let's go! Move!

What is all this?

Do you think we'll be able
to use the symbols now?

Not without Kaz we won't.

Where is she? Kaz?

Kaz?

Okay, I might have suggested
she wish for something.

She can't have gone far.

That thing is moving
a few feet every second.

About this much every minute.

You stay here with Bea.
I'll go and find Kaz.

Don't be long!

Jeez you scared
the life out of me!

We need to get out of here.

What are you doing?
Who's in there?

You can't go inside.

Why not?

Who are they?

Is that your mum and dad?

It's my mum.

Never knew my dad.

Honestly I don't think
my mum did either.

Maybe that's him.

Or just some face I saw on a TV

and thought maybe that's
what he would look like.

Have you gone inside?

I just thought it for a second
and, there they were.

- We have to go.
- What?

Bea's in danger.
It's rejecting her,

we've got minutes, tops.

- Agh.
- Are you going to faint?

Stop asking me that!

My mermaid! She needs
my help. She's out there.

Glen, she's not real.
She's in your head.

I need you here.

Kaz said she's basically
just me fancying myself.

Kaz didn't mean it.
Besides, you're sweet.

You've got a good heart.

Girls love that. Real girls.

If you're trying
to make a move on me,

I'm flattered,
but my heart's already taken.

Besides,
I couldn't do that to Louis.

Unbelievable.

Did I just 'out' the fact
that Louis fancies you?

Agh.

Don't worry. I'll stay.

- Can't you fix it?
- We don't have time.

If Bea was the one
asking you to try and fix

all this so we can stay
here longer, would you?

Why's it always about you
versus everyone else?

Louis! Unless you've got
something more important to do

I'd get back here fast!

This world is breaking apart
whether you like it or not,

and I don't wanna be around
when that happens.

They're waiting for me.
It's my birthday.

I mean, not really. But...

That's what it would look like.

Kaz... Look, we have to go.

- You don't know it'll work.
- We have to at least try!

- It's right behind us!
- Finally! Where have you been?

So what, we just enter our
symbols and hope for the best?

You got any better ideas?

It changed.

Draw the symbol, just do it!

I think I forgot mine.

That's why I wrote them down!

No wait, got it.

Here we go!

Did we make it?

Think so.

How do you feel?

Better.

Don't tell them.

About what was in the cabin.

Where'd everything go?

Where's the camp?

Did they move it?

The fence too. We must
have walked straight past it.

I don't understand.

This is it.
This is definitely it.

Are you lost?

Do you know where the camp went?

There's no camp around here.

What's your name?

Daniel, McConnell. What's yours?

Dad?
