01x04 - The Man in the Basement

[bunniefuu]

We found something.

What are you talking about?

Something impossible.

Sending
through the first test object.

I'm gonna
go through later today.

No-one remembers
the person who goes second!

I wanna be the first person
ever to teleport.

Glen can't swim.

Get to the lake! Run!

Where'd he come from?

We don't want any trouble.

Otto quiet!

What have you lot
got yourselves into?

- That's it?
- Yeah.

Here. Try.

It seems to only send small
stuff with just two people here,

but careful
not to get too close though.

How long do you think
this has been here?

- What?
- How long?

I don't know.

- I need to go..
- Bea!

We can't tell anyone.
You have to promise.

Get away from there!

What's going on?

We're not angry Glen.
You can always talk to us...

about anything.
If it was some kind of prank.

Was the rest
of your group involved?

No, no nothing like that.

No life-jacket you can't swim.
What were you thinking?

You're lucky he was there.

We're very grateful.

As I say, just wanted
to make sure he was okay.

From what I saw, you've got
some great friends around you.

Though...

I am curious to know
how you managed to get

to the middle of the lake
if you can't swim?

- What did he want?
- To know why I was in the lake.

It's not easy to explain.

I was wearing a safety helmet
and knee pads.

- What did you tell him?
- Nothing.

Do you think he saw me?
How I ended up in the lake?

He was weird.

Like he knows something.

It's Louis's girlfriend
we need to worry about.

She's not my girl...

Bea's not going to say anything.

About the lake thing?

I know
I was pestering you to jump.

What happened?
It wasn't your fault.

It's fine, thanks.
Catch you later.

Where's he off to?

And where's Meg today?

You okay?

I don't think she's coming.

I keep seeing
that look on her face.

We shouldn't have come.

I wanted to tell
Bea from the start.

She's my friend too.

She's had a crush
on you for years

and I just stomped
all over that.

Why did you have
to flirt with her?

Is there any way I'm going
to survive this conversation?

Nope.

Wow.

Get away from there!

Don't you ever
run off like that! Ever!

I'm sorry, Bea.
I was just scared I'd lost you.

This is going
to be our home now.

Every summer.

But there's just one rule. Okay?

You stay this side of the woods.
It's not safe back there.

Deal? Okay.

Room for one more?

You know, when it worked,
me and your dad

used to go out on
dates in this thing.

I don't need to know that.

Shouldn't you be at archery
with Finn and Alice?

Did something happen
between you lot?

They're together.

Together together.

Oh!

Well, they are
a bit older than you.

And I'm still a child.

No that's not what I said.

Ever since I was little,

Dad has told me not to go
to that part of the woods

where the fence is.

That's right, there are
pylons out there. It's not safe.

Just pylons? Nothing else?

That's all there is?

What's this all about, hey?

Look, I know
this place asks a lot of you.

Take that off! Now!

- I didn't mean to...
- I don't care!

It's not yours. You don't just
take other people's things.

I know. Sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.

Wait Meg.

What is all this stuff?

Where'd you get it?

Meg?

Come on, Otto.

You shouldn't
be following people!

You were following him!

Just go back to camp.

You owe me. I leant you
those walkie-talkies.

- What are you up to?
- Quiet!

This is close to where
I found the security camera.

Yeah sorry about that.
You're breaking up.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Have you seen him before?

Yeah. He was
at the camp earlier.

- I mean before?
- He's not local.

Probably government.

You're onto something,
aren't you?

You found something.

You're going in there?

- What's going on?
- Knock first!

Louis's been lying to us.

- How long have you had all this?
- Since the lake.

Louis's been acting like that
thing was his from day one.

He came here looking for it.

Look. Four kids
disappeared in these woods -

twenty-three years ago
never to be seen again.

He knew,
and still let Glen jump.

Yeah I know what we agreed.
I just need to be sure.

As I said...

Is anyone there? Is anyone
there? Please, I need help!

Louis!

No one's coming to help you
until you tell us

who you are and what you're
really doing at this camp.

Wait! What are you
talking about?

Meg found
your secret files, Louis.

You let Glen jump in that thing,

knowing the other kids
vanished in it years ago!

That's why I wanted to jump!

I tried to stop Glen
but he kept on insisting.

And we tested it!

On a chicken! Not a human being.

Kaz, I can explain.

Is that an alarm?

This isn't the best time
to be having this conversation.

- I don't care.
- No please, Kaz, I...

He sounded really scared.

What if he really is in trouble?

That was definitely an alarm.

I think it's time we had a talk.

Ignore him. He won't hurt you.

Look I'm not the enemy, Louis.

Even though,
out of context, this probably

doesn't do me any favors.

You've been watching us!

All this time.

- Who are you?
- I'm just here to do a job.

My name's Fisher.

Louis? Are you down there?

Louis?

That thing you found
in the woods?

Has it made contact?

Louis! Has it made contact?

What exactly are you doing?

Trying to break
into my dad's office.

Arrggh!

Bea?

We need to
at least talk about it.

- About what you saw.
- To make yourselves feel better?

Are we just going
to ignore the fact

that she was trying to break
into Daniel's office?

You probably laughed about it.

Bea.

Of course we didn't.

What were you doing out there

with a walkie-talkie
and a chicken?

- Finn!
- How long?

Have... you two...

Not long.

It happened. It's a thing.

And we're just going
to have to figure this out.

I have no idea what
I'm supposed to be looking for.

Why are we searching
your dad's office?

It's easier than asking.

Besides. I promised not to tell.

Tell what?

You never wondered why
my dad doesn't let anyone

go beyond the fenced area
of the woods?

That there are pylons out there?

I mean, seriously?

Bea what are you...

Does this have anything to do
with what happened at the cabin?

- Not that again!
- It was really weird!

My dad built that fence himself.

I think it was
to hide something.

Or protect us from it.

Bea...

What is it?

I don't know.
Tidy this stuff up.

- Are we good now?
- No!

I had a feeling you'd be here.

I should be mad at you.

You let me jump into that thing,
Louis!

- I thought we were friends.
- We are friends!

What are you doing?

And where were you?
We heard an alarm!

Shh!

That guy from the lake?

I think he works
for the government.

But he saved me.

He has a dog.

Does the dog work
for the government?

How would a dog work
for the government?

They've been watching us!
Maybe listening too.

They know we've found it.

- I'm sorry.
- We came here looking for Glen.

- Is she wearing your t-shirt?
- Just for today.

Come on.

He put your life in danger,
Glen, he lied to us.

Wait!

When everything started,
I thought,

if I told you the other kids
vanished twenty-three years ago,

you'd get scared and you
wouldn't want to keep digging.

That's why
I didn't want to say anything.

That doesn't make it right.

It was my dad's.

The folder. Alien abductions.
This place.

He loved that kind of stuff.

We'd talk about where those kids
could have disappeared to.

Another dimension or something.

I don't know if he actually
believed in it

or he wanted me to believe there
was something else out there.

Then he got really ill.

Well, you know, so...

Sorry.

So, I got my mum
to send me here,

not that she knows
the real reason.

It's why I didn't want
to share this.

And I was wrong.

This...

This is ours!

If the government know about
this, why haven't they taken it?

Fisher asked me
if it had made contact.

When I touched it that time.

That thing it...

...it put something in my head.

You're only telling us this now?

I'm trying to be honest.

It was some type of code,
or language maybe.

It has to mean something.

Glen, don't!

Are you all right?

Did I hold on longer than Louis?

Who cares about that?

It's not a language.
It's a symbol.

- What are you doing?
- Don't know.

It can't be this easy.
