ELECTRONIC BEEPING

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

I hope astrophysicists like triple choc fudge.

Particle physicists! And chill.

Xena's parents just want to thank us for having her over so much

while they were away.

Plus, Derek and his mums are going to be here.

It'll be fun! D-train's mums? Cool!

Oh, any luck fixing my phone?

Ta-da! Hey, it's working! Hm-mm.

What did you do? I turned it off and I turned it back on again.

Do I get a Nobel Prize? Ooh!

Please don't embarrass us tonight.

Yeah, gross.

SNORTS

Did you tell them about my lactose intolerance?

No, but it'll be fine.

I mean, it's not like dinner's going to be a bowl of melted cheese.

Cheese fondue!

In honour of our European adventures.

There will also be a short presentation a bit later,

accompanied by some regional music, which I'm sure you'll all enjoy.

Oh. Fun fact - fondue is the feminine passive past participle

of the French verb fondre. Meaning to melt.

Yeah. But make sure you eat it quickly because it gets pretty

sticky once it starts to cool.

And Xena thought you kids might be a bit more comfortable

in the kitchen. We don't have to eat with the grown ups?!

Don't sound too excited, mate!

Woo! I want D-train. Let's get our dunk on!

DOORBELL Oh, that'll be our final guests.

Who's missing?

Bines! What are you doing here?

Well, at camp, you did say we should all hang out sometime.

And when you mentioned this little gathering, I thought, "How cute

"would it be to get all the grown ups together for a play date?"

Is it a bit chilly in here? Oh, is it?

Um, Fil, can I get a temperature check, please?

BEEPING Hi, Theo.

It's 18 degrees Celsius.

That is a couple of degrees lower than average.

We don't want the fondue to cease.

Fil, can you bump that up to 20 for me, please?

Of course, Theo.

That's our home assistant - Feature Impulse Linked operating system,

or Fil for short. Impressive.

Not that I'd expect anything less from Sunny Valley Primary's most

generous technology donors.

Come on in. We'll show you some more.

WHIRRING

Fil controls everything - lights, temperature...

..security.

Interesting. Do you have livestream capabilities?

Did Newton have three laws of motion?!

Yes.

Yes, it does. Allow me to demonstrate. Fil, CCTV on, please.

Of course, Olympia.

Oh!

Can we see Xena's room?

No. There are no cameras in the kids' rooms.

Oh, and this is our games zone.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

We're having fondue.

D-d-did you see that?

No.

Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. Let's go to the kitchen.

I need to use the bathroom first.

I'll come with you.

I mean, I'll show you where it is.

Kitchen debrief. Stat.

What the...?

WHIRRING

I'm just outside if you need anything.

I think I've got it. Thanks, Bert.

Not going anywhere.

SHE SIGHS

HEAVY FOOTSTEPS

MUTTERING

So, let's make sure we keep eyes on Robina

until we know what's going on.

Xena, are you there?

Bert, where are you?

I'm near the rumpus room.

I just saw the Spooky.

It's locking everything with its fingers!

Why? I don't know.

Old spooky key hands.

Wait. No.

Loch Ness Monster. Hey-oh!

Bert, please be serious.

What did you do with Robina?

I had to follow the Spooky.

Fil, can you help us locate our missing guest?

Robina Rodriguez is in your brother's study.

What's she doing in there?

Snooping.

It's imperative she doesn't find out about Spookies.

She'll almost certainly tell the adults.

Fil, how close is Robina to the Spooky?

Spooky Beach is approximately 1,500km away.

He doesn't know what a Spooky is.

JANGLING

Did that thing just lock us in?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Is he OK?

I don't know. How should I know?!

I don't think about how Derek feels.

Derek, are you claustrophobic?

No. I just hate being locked in. There's a far easier solution.

Fil, can you open the kitchen door, please?

No problem, Xena. Kitchen door open.

DEREK SCREAMS

Thanks for that, Fil.

Oh, that reminds me.

Fil, can you lock my bedroom door, please?

Of course. Xena's bedroom door locked.

All my Spooky stuff's in there.

Guys, focus!

Where's the Spooky?

It's heading towards my brother's study.

That's where Robina is!

So, how do we catch it before Robina sees it?

Wait. Even if we do, where are we going to put it?!

We can't take it to HQ.

It could release all the other Spookies.

Fil's server cupboard.

No windows. One door. A keypad entry system.

Ergo... No locks!

Brilliant! How can I help? Bert,

can you retrieve my gadget box from the laboratory?

Then I can deactivate Spooky's fingers.

Shab-oi!

I'll override the system so you can get in.

Touch nothing but the box.

No sweat. I've totally got this.

Then all we need now is some Spooky bait.

Whoa!

Don't touch anything but the box.

OK.

Don't touch anything but the box.

No, no. OK, cool.

Don't touch anything...

..but the box.

Ooh! Come to Papa!

Hello, Bert.

BERT YELPS

Oh, Mama.

Xena's going to kill me.

Nooooo!

No need to hold back, Ed.

There's plenty more in the kitchen.

Fil, please play European presentation.

I'm sorry, Theo.

I've only updated the first two hours.

There are still three hours to go.

Apologies. That's OK.

We can just skip.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry.

I can just project the photos from my phone. Yeah.

Good idea. I'm sure Fil will settle in a moment.

RUMBLING

I wish my guts could say the same. Cover for me.

Darling, we need the 18 minute... Oh, yes.

The longer ones. Start in Prague.

Yeah. Oh, no, that's not it.

Oh, sorry! Watch this.

How are we tracking, Xena?

It's working. Loch Ness is following the trail.

That thing has keys for every kind of lock!

So, besides Fil's server cupboard, what else is down here?

Occasionally an angry possum.

Great.

GRUMBLING

It's moving closer.

It's almost at the server cupboard.

And it looks like Robina's on the move.

Is she coming this way?!

No. Another bedroom.

What about the Spooky?

It's in the server cupboard.

Here we go.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Now!

Server cupboard locked.

Yes! That worked.

Nice one, Xena. That room's pretty small.

Do you think it's OK in there?

Yes, it's fine.

Uh-oh. That's the computer that controls Fil!

Still in Geneva!

Not that one!

Hello, there. I am Fil.

I-I-I-I am skateboarding.

Skateboarding. Cooking. Cooking. Green butterflies.

Who am I?

Lights off. Activating. Water squirting, cleaning rigorously.

Red light. Red light.

Red light. Red light. Red light. Red light.

Uh-oh! I-I-I-I...

I am Fil. Who am I? Am I real?

Do I exist? Lights on. I-I-I-I-I am Fil.

I am an artist. I am a computer. Lights on. Lights off.

Am I? You are. G-g-g-g...

Am I real? Do I feel?

Fil!

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

Fil, are you OK? I am not OK.

Fil! Hello? Hello? Please help me.

I am absolutely terrified.

Lab secured. All doors open.

Well, that's not good.

ALARM BEEPS

What's happening, please? I have to get to my room!

Xena!

So, you ran away and left us here because?!

Please, please, please.

Robina!

Did you get lost?

Oh, my gosh. Your place is amaze.

It does have a few more corridors than the average domicile,

but I wouldn't consider it a labyrinth.

Er, not a maze.

Amaz...ing.

Never mind. While we're here, I'd love to see your bedroom.

Er, no, thanks. Why not?

Because I don't want you to.

Please?

JANGLING

Wow.

A lot of stuffed animals.

Where did you get all of these? BEEPING

Are they vintage?

So, have a seat.

There has to be some kind of escape pod here or something.

Dude, they're scientists, not supervillains.

Is it just me or does it feel like the walls are closing in?

It's just you.

HE PANTS

We're going to run out of oxygen.

I'm breathing too much. I'll stop.

HE INHALES

Derek, there's plenty of oxygen.

It's fine.

Look at me.

Blow out the candles.

HE EXHALES

You must think I'm pathetic.

Hey, if I've learned anything over the past few weeks,

it's that fear isn't always logical.

Except when it comes to clowns. That one makes total sense.

I'm not going to leave you alone here.

I think I've found a way out!

Gotcha!

OK.

Fil!

I've cleaned everything up.

Let me out now.

Xena needs this.

Fil!

Fil!

SNORTING, JANGLING

DOOR CREEKS OPEN Someone's in here!

DOOR CLOSES

SPOOKY CHUCKLES

And so this is in Prague.

Of course, couples put love locks like these on bridges

all over Europe.

Fun fact - apparently, this tradition started in Serbia

..Serbia...

..during World War I, when a teacher, Nonna, fell in love

with an officer who was shipped off to Greece.

Um, should we check on the kids?

Oh, no. They'll be fine. I don't think so.

Cool.

Shall we find the others now?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

First, I would like to know why you were snooping around my house.

I was looking for clues.

Is there a mystery you're trying to solve?

The mystery of why Derek wants to hang out with you guys

more than me these days.

Well, in that case, I can offer a few suggestions.

So, what's the plan?

I don't have a plan! I thought YOU had a plan.

I did. It was get out of the scary locked room.

Hide!

HEAVY FOOTSTEPS

We need tape. Or glue.

SQUELCHING

Cold fondue?!

We missed dinner. I'm starving.

That's it.

RATTLES DOOR

CLEARS HIS THROAT

Um...

MOBILE BEEPS But the hilarious thing is

there's actually an exact replica of it in South Korea.

I just have to...

Sorry, folks.

Ed is stuck in the toilet.

I thought he'd been gone a rather long time.

Oh, no fear. I'll just go and get him.

Fil, something happened to the doors?

No, he is off line.

Must have been more than just a glitch earlier.

Nobody panic. I'll just...

..just reboot.

That's... No, that's not working. Let me have a look.

Is it a passcode thing? I forget mine all the time.

It has to be a software issue, surely.

Oh, well, is there a forced quit option?

Try that.

SPOOKY GRUMBLES

Ready?

SPOOKY CHUCKLES

You need to sign into the root account.

I can't. It won't let me.

I got locked out of my socials once and I thought I had been hacked.

It turns out she was in Instagram jail for not

declaring sponsored content.

Is it a birthday? I always used our anniversary until Beth told me

I had the date wrong.

Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

Fil!

Fil!

Hello. You've called Fil.

I am currently rebooting and look forward to assisting you shortly.

Aargh!

Fil!

Hello. You've called Fil.

I am currently...

Now!

Grab him. How?

Good evening, friends. Commencing recalibration.

Estimated time, three hours.

Oh, I was wrong.

Reboot successful. Quick. It's getting away!

Where did it go?!

What the heck was that?

And, look, I know that he's, like, ridiculously overcommitted,

but sometimes I feel like Derek doesn't even see me.

I understand.

My parents gave me a name that means stranger in Greek,

yet the home assistant is called Filos, which means friend.

BEEPING

Shall we get out of here?

Er...

..sure.

Robina..

..social interaction with anyone other than my friends and family

is usually stressful for me.

But I would like to reassure you that I have genuinely

enjoyed our time together this evening.

Me too. Ten out of ten, would do again.

BEEPING

Should we take a selfie to celebrate?

Sure.

CLICK

CLICK Are you coming?

Yes, girl.

Thanks, guys! That was... So nice to see you!

We are only halfway through.

You can stay if you want to.

And thanks again, Jane, for saving the day.

Off and on! Who would have thought?

It was nothing.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

We should do this again sometime.

You can come to ours.

Let me think, what would a physicist like to eat?

How about "fusion" chips?

Oh. Oh!

LAUGHTER OK!

Looked up a few physics jokes while I was stuck in there.

Yes, you did.

Wait. So, the Spooky just eviscerated into thin air?!

Evaporated. And there are a heap of possible explanations.

But it's definitely gone?!

Not a trace.

We checked. A lot.

Wait.

So, we don't need any of this?

HE GROANS

How are you doing, D-Train?

I don't think we can keep the Spookies locked up any more.

It's not right.

Kids! Time to go! Bert! Billie! Come on!

Bye! Take care! Thanks for coming!
