All language subtitles for Lightning Point s01e03 Wires Crossed

Previously on Lightning Point.

We need to figure out a way home.

What's the hurry?

It's getting way too dangerous.

What I found, it didn't belong. Whatever
it was, it's gone now. Forget about it.

No, I definitely found something alien.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Something happened here in Lightning
Point the other night.

The police need to know.

Hi, girl.

How was the surf?

The best.

You're very lucky.

Yes, Lightning Point's a great place to
live.

I'm really glad you like it here.

Which reminds me, Amber, honey, when you
get a chance, can you organise some

school books for the girls?

What do you mean? First day of semester
tomorrow, remember?

I've arranged with the principal for Zoe
and Kiki to start school.

You can show them around.

School? We don't need to go to school. I
used to say that myself.

We're fine, really.

There's nothing there we don't already
know.

Sorry, as long as you're staying in my
house, you go to school.

Unless you want me to call your parents.

No, it's okay, Mum. Good. Alright, I'll
see you in the morning. I'm on night

shift. Come, Peppa. You're on duty too.

Amber, we don't need this.

We've completed our studies on Luminar.
And we'll be gone soon anyway.

It's a bad idea.

Actually, it's a great idea.

You want to go under the radar?

So while you're here, do what everyone
else does.

Go to school.

I know that look.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Earth's great.

It's just... the idea of school reminds
me of home.

I miss my family, Zoe.

I miss our way of life.

It's all so different here.

I know.

But that's what makes it so exciting.

I wish I could just tell everyone we're
okay.

We're so far away.

They don't even know where we are. Kiki,
stop worrying.

Everything will be alright.

There has to be a way to contact home.

And if there is, we will find it.

It's going to be fine. Just act normal
and keep a low profile and whatever you

do, don't say anything.

I know.

Funny stuff, Brandon.

What are you, 12?

Thought that might help.

Just in case the aliens come to get you.

You're such an idiot.

Oh, relax.

We should talk out our differences.

you could just shoot me with your ray
gun.

Hey!

You guys know there's karate classes
after school?

You should try out.

Didn't think so.

Go on, get to class.

Why was Brandon being so mean to Luca?

They're teenage boys.

All testosterone and no brains.

Forget about them.

But Luca's not like that.

Is he?

No, he's not.

Of course our textbooks will still be
out of date, but who cares when we've

got this, right?

Our very own satellite dish.

The hope is you'll all be wooed by the
allure of science.

Forget about lipstick and surf
magazines.

Right, who can tell me a fundamental
problem with satellites?

Hey, Luca.

Why don't you ask one of your little
green friends?

What's that, Brandon?

You want to explain the theory of
relativity to the class?

Me, sir? No.

No, sir.

Einstein's theory of relativity.

Simply put, the faster you go, the
slower time goes.

Now, this means our satellites, speeding
through space, will eventually be able

to think with our clocks back here on
Earth.

Is that clear?

That's incorrect.

That's doughy, isn't it?

Um, do you have something you want to
add?

Relativity all depends on your point of
view.

Time only seems to run slower on the
satellites relative to Earth. I beg to

differ. Well, you could, but you'd still
be incorrect.

Excuse me?

It's not that hard. I could show you if
you want. No, thank you, but I get paid

to teach you, not the other way around.
Sit down.

What was that?

Just trying to help.

Trust me, you're not.

He's got no idea.

I bet he's never even heard about the
seventh rule of universal warp drive.

No one's heard about that, okay?

I'm sorry, Amber. He was clearly wrong.

It doesn't matter. You're meant to be
blending in, remember?

Try not to attract so much attention.

I said I'll try.

Amber, I've been meaning to speak with
you.

Sir, have I done something wrong?

I've been going through your workbooks.

You've been struggling all year.

Right.

Sorry, I've had a lot on my mind lately.
I understand.

I was a teenager once myself.

Life can be pretty complicated.

You could say that. You need to put in
the effort.

Less surfing, more books, right?

Right.

That was cool.

In class, what you did to Mr. P.

Oh, that.

I didn't mean it that way.

Listen, why don't you and me get to
school and hit the beach?

Sounds exciting.

Cool. So you're in.

No. That would attract attention.

So, how are you finding Lightning Point
High?

I like it very much.

I like the people.

I like you too, Luca. What she means is
she's having a good time.

Kiki, you can't just tell a boy you like
him.

But I do.

I like you too, Amber.

That's not what I mean.

You've been trying to fix that for
weeks.

It's never going to work. I've almost
got it.

5.8 KVA petrol engine.

You know about engines?

Just from what I've read.

Internal combustion.

Pretty simple, really. But loud.

And dirty.

Basic technology, huh?

Then why can't I get it to work?

So?

Is Brennan always that mean to you?
Forget it, it's nothing.

Just a little sibling rivalry.

I don't understand.

Isn't your brother meant to support you?

Look, Brandon sees everything from his
own point of view.

All he cares about is surfing and riding
quads.

I'm different.

I've got a brain.

There's got to be more to life than just
hanging out at the beach, right?

Right.

Sorry about all the mess.

I forget to clean up sometimes when I'm
busy.

I don't mind.

I'm the same.

When I'm working on something, that's
all I think about.

The guys at school think I'm weird
because of all this stuff.

But you know what? I don't care.

So, do you think I'm weird?

Kiki?

Exactly how much do you know about
aliens?

How much do you want to know?

The universe is a big place.

Yeah.

Okay, so check this out.

There's a lot of junk out there on the
internet.

Fake sightings, hoaxes.

Some people just want to make a name for
themselves.

Then there's... this.

Roswell.

Mexico.

Can't tell me that that...

It doesn't look real.

I've got to go.

Kiki, well, wait. I'm sorry. Forget
about all this stuff, but...

Where

were you?

We've been waiting for you. I went to
see someone.

Luca.

Kiki, you can't go over there. You know
what he thinks about aliens. I know.

I just wanted to see if he was okay.

He's getting teased because of us.

I feel responsible.

He'll deal with it. He always has.

I'm sorry, but that's just the way it
is.

Working late?

I'll never understand this stuff.

Yes, you will.

If you try.

I have tried.

I've tried all year.

Everyone thinks I've been out surfing
and forgetting the books, but I've

worked really hard and I still don't get
it.

Amber, we mastered our science on Lumina
before we came.

If you need help, just ask.

Just me. Where's Amber?

Homework.

It's nice.

I think I've really been able to help
her.

Well, don't get too comfortable.

We're going home.

What? It's a signal.

Zoe, you know that won't work.

We're too far out. The plasma car
doesn't have that kind of range. Unless

we boost the power.

The school satellite dish.

That thing.

It's useless.

It doesn't have enough power to burn
toast.

I know. It's primitive.

But there are a thousand more satellites
orbiting this planet. So if I can

connect them all together... We could
increase the power.

The signal's not a frequency used by
humans.

But anyone back home could easily work
it out.

You've thought about this a lot, haven't
you?

Better get some sleep.

School tomorrow.

I've never been here so early in my
life.

I thought you guys weren't interested in
school.

Things change.

I'll catch up with you later.

Don't look so worried.

We travelled 42 light years to get here.

I think she can find her way to the
classroom.

with you today.

Come.

In.

Inside.

Inside.

You're early.

Come to catch up on your reading, have
you, Amber?

Actually, Amber's been doing some extra
work.

She's ahead two whole chapters.

Is that so?

Um, yeah, you can check if I...

This is all your own work.

Uh-huh.

How about you run me through your
numbers?

Should be glad to.

Any problems?

No. Looks like this is going to work.

We're going home.

Okay class, today I want to share with
you a little story.

All it took was a bit of hard work and
forgetting about life, little

distractions.

Amber.

Yes sir?

How do you explain this?

Excuse me?

Your work with birth rate.

Maybe you could read some of your work
on chapter 12 to the class?

See, I knew you could do it.

Um, okay.

Chapter 12. Sir? No distractions.

Keep going.

The curvature of the space-time
continuum is well known, but only

recently has it been described... Oh,
sure.

Not now, Luca.

Really,

what is wrong with a teenage mind? It
can't concentrate for five seconds.

Luca, go see what the problem is. The
rest of you, pay attention.

Using a simple thought experiment in an
accelerating frame of reference.

Z is a constant for the speed of light.

Thanks Amber, that's enough for now.
Look, what is going on out there?

It's the weirdest thing, Fer.

Dogs. Heaps of them.

They're all barking.

Barking at what?

At the satellite dish.

Class, open up your books to chapter 12.

Read up.

I'll test you later.

Amber, what do you know about dogs?

Do they normally bark at satellite
dishes?

No.

Wait a sec.

Did you guys do anything out of this
world?

We sent a homing signal using the dish.

You what? We're trying to contact home.
I increased the power output so the

signal can reach Lumina.

You sent us a signal. What if it gets
picked up here on Earth?

Don't worry.

We disguised it.

Only people on Lumina will know what it
means.

And the frequency is undetectable for
human ears.

You do know that dogs can hear more
frequencies than people?

No.

We didn't read that file.

That explains it.

The dogs can hear the signal.

Will Mr. Phillips find anything?

The plasma card.

Go on, go check it out.

You lot don't move.

Luca, come with me.

Isn't that Piper?

Be working perfectly.

I believe this is yours.

strange today huh what would make all
those dogs do that who knows

doesn't matter of course it matters
unexplained things keep happening in

this town and no one seems to care am i
the only person that thinks that this is

odd sorry i get worked up

look uh about yesterday i want to
apologize all that stuff about aliens

Can we just forget about it, please?

You must think I'm weird.

I don't think you're weird.

And for what it's worth, you're right.

The universe is a big place.

Who knows what's out there?

You were lucky.

Please, next time...

Tell me when you come up with a plan.

I'm here to help you.

You're right, Amber.

We're sorry.

Yeah.

We'll tell you next time.

Good.

And thanks, Kiki.

I was failing big time without you.

Glad to help.

I know the signal was only on for a
short time.

But it could have worked.

They could be on their way to Earth
already.

Right?

It wasn't on for long enough.

Nobody would have noticed it.

I'm sorry, Kiki.

I thought I had it all worked out.

But I don't.

I shouldn't have talked you into coming
here.

We'll be okay.

But we're stranded.

I know.

But we'll figure something out.

After all... Earth's not so bad.

Bye.
