(Multicom Jingle)

- [Narrator] Previously on "Grand Star."

- Jonah.

- Suki.

- What are you doing here? - Jumped train.

I was a cabaret acrobat.

- You're on the run? - What are you gonna do,

a blackout? - You got it.

- But that's crazy. - Shut up.

(electronic buzzing) (alarm blaring)

- Now I just feel stuck with

this guy who just wants to control me.

Cal, what are you doing?

- [Man Of The Cold] I can read your thoughts

as you can read mine, you are one of us.

- One of what?

- Do you know who we are?

- You're the People of the Cold.

- Our bodies can only survive at extremely low temperatures.

- [Man Of The Cold] Well, are you one of us?

- I don't know, can you tell me?

(dramatic electronic music)

(crackling)

(anxious electronic, violin music)

I'd like to tell you it's easy

for me to explain this but it's not.

I'm sorry to leave like this but it's just that

there's something inside of me pulling me away.

I don't know what it is but I must follow my instincts.

(soft piano music)

Ever since I saw a glimpse of the sun,

I knew my life had to change

and now the time has come.

- [Man Of The Cold] Go home.

Go home.

- [Cal] I've made my decision.

- [Man Of The Cold] Welcome to our world.

Don't be afraid of the cold.

Don't be afraid of the People of the Cold.

It's the heart that brings warmth.

I wish you good luck, Cal.

- Kurt, where's my sunbed?

- All right people, get naked,

10 minutes of Vitamin D comin' up.

- You don't think Kurt's mom has noticed yet?

(mid tempo electronic music)

(upbeat electronic music)

- Hey, you look pale.

- Yeah well you know, I live in a sunless world.

Plus I had 15 minutes yesterday.

- 15.

You must be the son of a prominent individual.

Most people around here have to

be content with five minutes a week.

- If they can afford it.

- You guys can stop acting stupid.

I know that you took my mom's sunbed.

- [Suki] Us?

- [Zel] You're stealing from your friends now, huh?

That's no good.

- Why does every Counselor need their own sunbed anyway?

- I agree 100%. - Yeah?

Well if you really feel that way, you should join us.

- You know what you did is not

gonna make a difference in the long run.

- What will?

- Cal thinks it's finding the Renewers, helping them out.

That's the only way things

are actually gonna change around here.

Hey, Mr. Ragg.

- [Suki] Hi, Mr. Ragg.

- Have any of you seen Cal?

- No.

- When was the last time?

- A few days ago. - Me too.

- If you knew something, you'd tell me, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah, of course.

Did Cal tell you anything?

- No, he hasn't been the same over the past little while.

- Do you think it's 'cause of me?

(anxious violin tones)

- [Male Liaison Agent] I'm sorry.

(mid tempo drumbeat)

- You wanted to see me?

- [Female Liaison Agent] We have heard reports

stating your behavior has been somewhat erratic.

This is very puzzling to us.

We know you disagree with

our intentions regarding your station.

- So what is this meeting all about?

- [Female Liaison Agent] You have something we need,

a document.

- What kind of document? - You know very well.

You were asked for it and you failed to hand it over.

Should you fail again,

that would cause us to terminate our relationship with you.

- I can't do anything against my conscience.

- [Female Liaison Agent] This meeting is over.

- Can you hear me? - This meeting is over.

(tense violin tones)

(wind howling)

(electronic beeping)

- [Damien] Professor Ragg, please open the door.

I'm here to invite you to a party.

- When will this take place?

- Tonight, CEO Palidor specifically asked that you attend.

So will you be there?

- Oh yeah, yes, I'll be there.

I'll be going through my usual circus routine.

- I'm sorry?

- You don't ever feel like a circus animal,

jumping through hoops?

- No, never.

- Well you should look at yourself sometime.

- I'll pretend I didn't hear that, shall I?

Will your son be attending?

- My son?

- Yes, your son Cal, he can come too if he wants.

- Oh yes, I'll ask him.

- Good, see you tonight then, Professor Ragg.

(sighing)

- [Liam] I haven't talked to you much about your mother.

- [Cal] I know and I'm tired of getting bits and pieces.

(anxious electronic tones)

(tense rising violin tones)

- You, what do you want from us?

You have destroyed everything.

I have no more son, I have no more husband.

- I don't know if all of that was my fault or not.

Look, I'm here to find the Renewers.

I know you can help me, you must know something.

- They come, they go, they don't talk very much.

They say that someday the sun's gonna come back

and then they vanish and I never see them again.

You won't find them here.

They're very far away, Cal.

They're very, very far from here.

- [Suki] Do you think this is smart?

- Yeah.

- Okay, let me get this straight.

You want to steal food right under Palidor's nose?

- You could get in, couldn't you?

- Me? - Yeah.

I hear you're on good terms with Lieutenant Damien.

- Well yeah but I just don't, I don't really--

- Hey Suk, what's the deal?

Are you two lovers?

- Oh no.

- Are you

fond of him?

- I'm with Suki, it seems pretty risky.

- Of course it is but once people see that we pull it off,

maybe they'll think that

the Pointsmen aren't so invulnerable.

You'll do it?

- Hey.

- Hey, I'm a friend, hey Suki.

- Kurt, I know him, he's okay.

What are you doing here?

- I'm looking for soulmates, I wanna join.

- Clean and soft hands, you must be a rich kid.

- If only you could see my heart, you wouldn't believe it.

- Wise guy, huh?

- That's right.

(low anxious electronic tones)

- Bogdan could tell you more but he's gone off.

They found a whale, a great frozen whale.

It would mean food and oil for us for months

if they can salvage some of it.

I don't know whether he'll be coming back.

He was really upset about what happened to our son.

- Jonah's fine.

- But now here the sad truth is that

a long family line has come to an end.

The last time he came back from

a scavenging trip, he brought this back.

- This feels good. - Yeah.

- Did a Person of the Cold give this to him?

- [Yana] Yes.

(screaming) Oh no, not again.

- [Cal] Yana, what's wrong?

(anxious violin music)

- They keep coming back, they steal anything they can take.

They steal everything.

- My helmet and thermal suit are gone.

I have to, I need to know the truth.

- [Man Of The Cold] Are you one of us?

- [Cal] I don't know, can you tell me?

Didn't you just say that you actually read somebody's

thoughts and that you exploded that glass booth at Zel's?

I mean you can't invent that.

He could read my thoughts and I could read his.

- Well, so he's telepathic.

That doesn't make you anything

other than a normal human being.

- Do you know very many human beings who can do that?

- I'm amazed you wanted to come.

- I thought I would check out you Counselors live in action.

Plus my mother needed a date.

- Just don't say anything to get us into trouble.

- I'm not gonna say a word, mom.

(anxious violin music)

- [Kurt] There is something behind this crazy sky box.

The Pointsmen and Palidor are hiding something huge.

- [Cal] Yeah, I know that Kurt

but it's me that I'm unsure about.

(ominous whirring)

- Suki.

What are you doing here?

- Crashing. - I can see that.

You just vanished like a thief in the night, what happened?

- Well ever since I was mysteriously freed

from the evil clutches of the cabaret, I'm moving around.

- Glad to see you're enjoying your newfound freedom.

I can help you go further, you know.

- Yes Damien, I know.

- No you don't, not yet.

Have you ever heard of Paradise Station?

It's a secret resort.

Warm, fragrant, lush.

Full of fountains and streams

and trees swaying softly in the breeze.

Pretty much how the Old World

must have been like, they imagine.

- [Suki] Go on.

- It's for Pointsmen and their

families and their loved ones.

Why did you come here? - The truth,

because I was hungry, all right?

You're not gonna tell on me, are you?

- Not if you stay with me.

(mid tempo electronic music)

(relaxed violin music)

(lightning crackling)

(mid tempo electronic music)

- Kurt.

How are you?

- Good, good, Mr. Ragg, nice to see you.

- Yeah.

Oh, she's the girl that's breaking my son's heart.

- It's not quite that simple, Mr. Ragg.

- No?

- Have you seen Cal?

- No, no.

- Damien.

- [Damien] Sir.

- If something's not done about the food situation soon,

we'll have to send out for some 400 year old frozen pizzas.

- I'll see to it straightaway, sir.

- Do.

(anxious violin, electronic music)

- Lock all the entrances and exits, something's going on.

- Sorry, I guess I'll talk to you later.

Get down, get down, they're onto us.

- Behave, little rich boy

or I'll teach you the rules of life.

- Please do.

- NS-Five, I want a complete body search

of anyone entering or exiting the palace.

Unit Eight, send three teams to the back market.

Anyone recently selling fresh food,

please arrest them immediately.

(anxious electronic music)

(playful ensemble music)

- Here, enjoy. - Here's your salad, missus.

(anxious violin music)

(lightning crackling)

- Help me, please.

Please help me.

Wait.

Please help me.

Who are you?

- [Nara] I'm a very little star that fell on the earth.

- [Cal] I'm Cal.

- [Nara] Where is your home, young man?

- I think we might as well get settled in,

we're gonna be here for a bit.

We could have a little fruit party.

(Kurt chuckling)

- Be quiet.

Shut up.

Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet, breathe, shh.

(relaxed violin, flute music)

(relaxed electronic, violin music)

- If only my mother could taste one of these.

- Maybe now you shouldn't think

about telling her where you are.

- Yeah, I know.

- I hope you saved us some.

(anxious electronic music)

- We don't decide for someone

if he's one of us or not, you should know that.

- But I know he is, he talks.

- Reading our thoughts does not make him one of us.

Nara, you should let him go, let him go while you still can.

- He will die. - That is his choice.

- But why treat him like an enemy?

- Oh,

Nara.

Nara, Nara.

(chuckles)

You must not change the course of his journey.

- But he doesn't have a home, he's an orphan.

- How do you know that?

- Because I know.

- Do not ever do that again.

If he is of the Cold, he must find that out for himself.

(anxious violin music)

- He doesn't know it but he's breaking my heart.

Listen to what I found.

- [Cal] I'd like to tell you

it's easy for me to explain this but it's not.

I'm sorry to leave like this but it's just that

there's something inside of me pulling me away.

I don't know what it is but I must follow my instincts.

It's nothing against you, dad

and it's nothing against anybody.

I love you.
