01x08 - Whatever Happened to Meg?

[bunniefuu]

I just wanted to
make sure he was okay.

You've got some great
friends around you.

Has Bea talked to you?

Tell her the truth cos she's
starting to resent you about it.

They kept running towards it.

The one who came back.
Who was it?

They're up
to something. Dragonfly.

You think Bea could be
involved somehow?

This can't be real!

What if Meg didn't disappear,

what if we're the ones
that vanished?

No! Don't!

Meg?

No.

- There's no-one here.
- Something's not right.

Even if Dragonfly
were up to something weird,

Bea wouldn't get involved
if it was dangerous.

Um, why don't you try the car?

I know you're under there.

Come on.

Why were you hiding?

Didn't your parents
come to take you home?

Was Bea with your group?

Where are they? Where's Bea?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Helloooo? Helloooo?

Hello?

Bea! We can't just run off!
We need to stay close.

Where would I go?

If we're the ones that
vanished and not Meg,

- then...
- Where are we?

That hum,
it's all around us now.

Everything, it was so real!

You've been saying that
for the last ten minutes.

Well, it was!

My Mum and Dad,
they'll be wondering where I am.

My actual Mum and Dad.

Who were those people?

It was a simulation.

They put us inside
a fake version of the camp.

But why?

Was that there before?

We don't know
what's through there!

Shouldn't we think about this?

Yeah, sure. Let's do that.

You take Hummingbird...

I thought you were
taking Hummingbird?

- No.
- Have you seen Bea?

- This morning?
- Finn.

I talked to her last night.

We had a fight. I wanted
to give her some space.

- I didn't think...
- About what?

It doesn't matter.

- Wasn't she with you two?
- She's not here.

- Or Dragonfly.
- Finn,

you're not making much sense.

Bea and Dragonfly.

I think they're involved in
something, out in the woods.

I heard about those kids
who vanished.

- Those friends of yours.
- Okay. Let's just...

Take the roll call if
you don't believe me!

Where have you looked?

I told her not to get involved.

Bea,
Alice and I, things are weird.

- Where have you looked?
- Everywhere!

- Is, this, real?
- I don't think so.

Where'd you...?
Elliot?

That's not the real him.

You figured out it wasn't real.

You hit pause. But you need
to continue. All of you.

What are you talking about?
How do we get out of here?

When you activated the rock,

it put you inside
a simulation designed

to observe you
in your natural habitat.

Natural what?

Like an assessment.
To see what you do.

I don't understand.

Just remember.
You are the ones in control.

The question is,
what do you do with it?

They'll be watching.

Where'd he...? Who's watching?

Maybe I'm not up
for being assessed.

- Elliot!
- What do we do?

Even if we wanted to continue,
how do we do that?

The game.

- You think it'll...
- Unpause it.

- No.
- Kaz!

- This is what it wants!
- We don't have a choice.

Do it.

Kingfisher?

Pine Marten? Hummingbird?

Dragonfly.

Dragonfly?

Has anyone here seen
Dragonfly since last night?

How about Bea? Have...

Have any of you seen Bea?

- Where have you been?
- Elliot, not now.

I followed Bea last night.

I saw her. I saw it all.
There was a light.

This seriously bright light...

What are you talking about?
What did you see?

Bea and Dragonfly.
They disappeared,

literally,
right in front of my eyes.

- Not the shy one though.
- What?

The shy one.
Meg. She's still here.

There's nothing. It's dead.

So there's no people, no food,
and no way of reaching help.

Look, we all just need
to try and stay calm.

It's not like it's real!

I just, wanted to see
if it fixed itself.

Why didn't we call the police?

They could have
been gone all night!

You're worried Finn's right.

That it's happened again, that's
why we're out here, isn't it?

You never believed me.

I tried to.

What is that?

This is Bea's.

What do you think you saw
all those years ago?

Is that what's happened
to Louis, Kaz and Glen?

To our daughter?

Daniel?

I'm going back.

And what?

You're gonna call
the police and say that Bea

and three other kids might have
just vanished into thin air?

That's exactly
what I'm going to do.

Is this what happened
to those other four kids?

They just got beamed in here,
so, that,

aliens or whoever can observe,
assess them?

Do you think it let them out?

After it observed them?

What are we gonna do for food?

The lake's still here
and, I know how to fish.

Maybe we can catch
Glen another girlfriend!

You're so funny.

What Elliot said,
that we're in control.

What do you think
he meant by that?

I mean, Glen imagines
his perfect girl and

Kaz thinks of her mum because
she was never there for her...

Yeah, whatever.

Look, we were doing that.

If you could eat
anything in the world,

right now, what would it be?

I don't know, a pizza maybe?

Okay, what kind?

- I'm not fussy.
- Visualize it. Really see it.

Really want it.

All of us.

Cheese, tomato and pepperoni
is my absolute favorite.

- Does it have olives?
- Eugh, no.

What's the crust like then?

Thin and crispy. A little burnt
on the edge, but in a good way.

Is it in a box? With one
of those little white plastic

doll house tables to stop it
getting squished?

What are we doing?

Just focus,
for one second. Please.

Imagine it. Really imagine it.
All of us.

This is all I could get.

Everyone thinks
you went home with your parents.

No-one's looking for you.

If they know I'm here, then...

Yeah. They'll have some
pretty big questions to ask you.

I get it. So, um...

they're gone?

Bea's gone?
And you don't know where?

Told you.

I can't believe
you're still eating.

My stomach demands it.

I can't believe
an olive ended up on here.

Olive juice!

Hey!

So are we saying we can
think up stuff and it'll pop up?

Anything at all?

Well,
the dinosaur and the mermaid.

That was subconscious. But...

clearly we can do it
consciously.

How cool is that, though?

Can we think up a door
and go home?

You know what this
totally reminds me of?

That sci-fi film
with the mind-controlling robots

that live off your imagination.

- I remember that.
- Yeah.

That bit with the big
giant robot

sh**ting laser cannons and...

Wait! No, no, no!

Tell them, I was there
in the woods, I saw it.

The rock in the ground,
the light.

Rock in the ground?

She touched the side of it
and pfft! They'd gone.

- What did you do to them?
- I didn't do anything!

- Get out of here. Bye Elliot.
- I didn't do anything!

Louis said it was a portal
to somewhere, maybe.

And I tried to stop them.
But I was too late.

And now they're
probably gone forever

and it's just me and,
I don't know what to do.

If Bea's involved and in danger,

we need to tell
Daniel and Steph.

I may have already done that.

No! We can't tell anyone!

They'll take it away and
then we'll never get them back.

Who are they?

Government agents.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Run!

Just focus on it not being real.
We're in control.

I don't feel in control.

And I've got imagined
pizza stitch.

It's coming! Go, go, go, go!

We created this thing!

Come on!

Concentrate!

It's not real, it's not real...

- Are you okay? She's hurt.
- I'm fine.

Wait, that thing
could have actually...

we could have been...

From now on we have to be
extra careful what we all think.

Especially when
we're all together.

- I've had it with this place.
- Where are you going?

Kaz!

I was going to call the police.

We have kids missing.
Our daughter is missing!

All authorities
have been informed.

But the important thing is
we keep this thing contained.

- Quiet.
- You didn't just happen

to be by the lake that day.

Is your name even Fisher?
Who are you people?

I was... assigned here.

Assigned here? Why?

How do you even know about this?

What I can tell you is
we will do everything

in our power to find those kids.

- To find your daughter.
- And that thing in the ground?

We'll get them back. I promise.

But we do need your help.

We need to speak to this girl.
Megan.

Meg? She's gone.

She left
with her parents yesterday.

My dad made me take a first aid
course. Let me look at your arm.

Stop being nice to me.

You don't even like me.
I annoy you.

You're right. I don't like you.

But if we're the ones
controlling this thing,

then we might need you to
get out and you'll need us too.

It's like it's in our heads.

What did I create?
That's what I keep wondering.

Your mum, Louis's
dinosaur, Glen's mermaid.

Maybe the camp?

Like some sick joke.

Finn and Alice, every summer
they come from the city,

bragging on coffee shops
and concerts.

And then they go back
and I'm still here.

I came here to escape the camp.

And now I might
spend the rest of my life

in a fake version of it.

Nice. Thanks.

Let's go back.

Wait, what's that?

I don't think
we're going anywhere.

Stop.

Hurry up! If they catch her
you'll never see her again.

Hey! You're scaring her.

We don't know that for sure.

You really think
they're just here to get Bea

and the others back?

Come on.

Follow the road to the village.

Find a phone and call
your parents once you're clear.

Now! Go, go, go!

Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry, we need your help
to get the others back.

It's okay. It's okay.
They're not gonna hurt you.

It's okay. Come on.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You see that? That distortion.
I've never seen that before.

Louis?

What do they want from us?

They will let us out,
eventually, right?

I dunno.

But while they're observing us,

we're gonna figure out
everything we can about them.
