Original subtitles

Previously on Lightning Point. There are many meanings, but the most obvious one

is quite simple.

What's that?

I'm going to work it out. Something or someone is reaching out to me.

Brandon believes me now.

But he wants answers as much as I do.

Brandon?

Sorry, I should have... I'd better go.

Wasn't that a bit weird?

That whole mouth-mouth thing?

Sometimes I think I never want to leave this place.

Same here.

Sometimes.

I finally get it.

Get what?

What it's like to have that crush feeling.

I take it you're talking about Luca.

For a human, he's quite perfect.

At least you're not glowing anymore.

I might be on the inside.

You don't think you're becoming a little too human?

The pattern of this thing is just incredible.

It's got to be aliens, right?

I think it's a message.

They're trying to contact us.

But why here?

And why now?

We've got to scope it out some more.

I can't right now. I've got to go.

What's so important?

Personal business.

We're on the verge of something mind-blowing here and you're running off

on a date.

Come on, we've got to find out what Maddy really threw at the diner. I tried

her, but she doesn't want to talk about it.

She'll talk to me.

I'm glad you're here.

I wanted to show you something.

Right now?

We know that the symbol we found means to protect.

But protect what?

I don't know.

But why is it there?

What purpose does it serve?

That symbol has already attracted enough attention.

Shouldn't you just stay away from it? The energy field only obeys Luminan

physics. And we need to find out why our people put it there.

Hey. Glad you're here. I need to talk to you.

You're still mad at me, huh?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Really, I am.

I accept your apology.

What are you doing here anyway?

Where's your boy?

I'm not here for a serve.

I want to know more about whatever you saw at the diner.

I don't want to talk about that.

I'm trying to forget it.

Please, Maddy.

I just want to help you.

Maybe you can buy me a juice?

Well, I've got to run. It's time for me to get to work.

You're leaving already.

I don't like to be late.

I know, but you're going to be early by half an hour or so.

I can always help me out.

Maybe even run into Luca if he happens to be there.

Kiki, if you've got time to waste, you and I should be working on the symbol.

I'm not wasting my time.

I'm sorry you can't feel what I'm feeling.

I'm not sure about what you think you're feeling.

I don't buy all this crushed stuff.

Just be careful what you tell him. Luke is not like that.

You can trust him.

I wish I could share everything with him.

Sometimes, I think I should tell him who I really am. You have to control

yourself, Kiki.

Don't lose sight of what's important.

You and I didn't come here to become human.

She didn't mean that.

No offence, Amber.

So, have you been thinking of me?

Of course.

All the time. What sort of thing?

About, you know, everything.

So what exactly did you see?

I don't know. There was a storm and a bright light.

And I got a fright and a story.

I need to know more.

What kind of bright light?

I need details.

Can't we just be normal?

Talk about normal stuff.

Please, Maddy.

I really need to know.

Can you try a bit harder for me?

Okay.

Let me think.

This is really dreadful for me, you know?

I know.

So how did it start?

Well, I was talking to you on the computer.

Brandon?

It was horrible.

It's okay.

You're safe now.

Maybe I'm going crazy.

You're not going crazy.

I really did see something.

I know you did.

I believe you.

I think it's time for my shift.

Nearly.

Maybe we can walk around the block one more time.

I have to get to work.

I'm late already.

Then I'll come in and grab a juice.

Uh, no.

Mira will be staring at me the whole time.

You have to leave or I'll never get anything done.

Okay.

I'll see you when you get off.

I've got a surprise plan.

Really? You've got to promise me you'll come.

Promise.

Now give me a hint.

That is spoilers.

You'll have to wait.

How am I meant to concentrate on work now?

You'll manage.

I'll see you in a few hours.

Bye.

What are we doing here?

I want you to check out some pics for me.

All that stuff we talked about is doing my head in.

What stuff in particular?

The glowing alien thing that seriously wanted to kill me.

These are Luca's files. We can go through them together and see if

anything looks familiar.

Does Luca know? Luca's cool.

We're working on this thing together.

I thought you and I were working together.

Of course we are.

So what's happening?

Why don't you tell me what's going on?

I will, I promise.

Just not yet.

I need to make sure of it first.

But trust me, you're a big part of it.

I mean it, Maddy.

This is special.

So, what did you want to show me?

What? What are you doing?

You said you'd teach me to surf one day.

This is the day.

No way.

Are you serious?

Absolutely.

Okay.

But I'm the boss.

I'm so hopeless.

You are getting better.

You're a horrible liar.

This is such a good idea.

Living here, you must take it for granted.

The view is pretty spectacular.

I brought snacks.

Do you cook?

Yeah. Well, no. I assemble.

Mostly from our fridge.

You do this with all your girlfriends?

Yeah, yeah, I'll take more surfing because I'm so good at it.

Kidding.

At least you still don't know me that well.

You're the first girl I've ever really dated.

I'm really lucky I met you.

Pumpkin?

What about this one? Ew.

No, it wasn't like flesh and blood.

I know, like a being wrapped up in light.

And creepy.

Really creepy.

The way it watched me.

You don't think it was trying to harp with me?

I don't think you'd be here if that was the case.

Well, we've been through them all, and nothing even close to a match.

Maybe we catch a wave.

It's been ages.

Maybe later.

I'll walk you home.

There was one other thing I remember.

What?

When the light thing was really close to me, I think it made a noise.

What kind of noise?

Well, it was...

And high-pitched.

And he was like... He

was... Asking for help.

Help. It asked you for help.

Yep. I'm almost sure of it.

That's crazy.

Isn't it?

It spoke.

I can feel the energy.

I can't feel anything.

I need to measure how big this is.

I need to tap into its energy.

Is that a good idea?

It's... Made of energy.

You're made of energy.

What if you ignite or something?

You should leave if you're scared.

I'm not scared.

You're so different to everyone else around here.

You know, a few months ago, I didn't even know you existed.

Now I can't imagine not knowing you.

That's sweet.

I mean, what are the chances that we would meet?

Probably less than you would think.

You come from so far away.

If you weren't connected to Amber's family, then our paths would never have

crossed. That's true.

Amber never mentioned you to me before.

We really didn't know each other that well.

You could say that we were almost strangers.

And then you turn up here and you decide to stay.

Yeah. How about that?

Amber and her mum are really nice.

You know, I don't know that much about you.

Hey, what's your family like?

Have you any brothers or sisters?

I'm not really comfortable talking about myself.

But I want to hear it. I mean, tell me about your family, about where you come

from. You know what really matters?

It's right here and now.

You're holding back.

I guess I am.

Don't you trust me?

Of course I do.

So?

I'm so happy right now.

I don't want to spoil this moment.

Sure.

I don't want to wreck it either.

Come on.

Time for another surplus, then, before you forget what I've already taught you.

I thought you said I was improving.

You were right.

I was lying.

Hey.

Well, it worked.

Maybe we should get going now. The card will measure the energy level. It won't

take long.

Okay. I've got nothing better to do.

Are you happy now?

Yeah.

Could you stop it?

It's incredible.

It's not just over this field.

It goes up.

Up where?

All the way up.

Where does it stop?

Maybe it doesn't.

Hey, we should definitely get out of here now.

Someone's coming.

Go!

Hello.

I mean you no harm.

What do you say to an alien?

Welcome to Earth.

My name is Brandon.

I'm your friend.

I'm not here to hurt you.

I want to help you.

I just saw one.

An alien in a cane field.

Are you kidding?

Is it still out there?

Let's go back. It's gone.

It was like a glowing bright light.

Exactly what Madison saw.

No. I can't believe I missed it.

Tell me everything.

It tried to lose me.

I talked to her, but it didn't answer. You talked to it?

Well, I definitely talked to Madison.

The one she saw asked for help.

Why would it need help?

Who knows?

Any money, they'll be back.

We need to get ready for them.

I can't believe I wasn't there.

You've got to get your priorities right.

They're in the cane field.

I've seen them.

Conan saw you? All he saw was plasma.

There's no way he could make me out. But now he knows what we really look like.

That doesn't matter.

We're out of here. That energy field goes all the way up, right beyond the

Earth's atmosphere.

Do you know what this means?

It could beam directly to Lumina.

There's a possibility this site would be monitored.

They'll be listening.

So it's like an alarm system.

Something like that.

We could send a signal back to Lumina.

All we'd need is enough power to boost the card.

With the right conditions, we'll be on our way home.

We're going home.

Ever since we got stuck here, I've been wanting to go home.

I couldn't think about anything else.

But now it's different.

I'm guessing this is it with Luca.

I never thought having a crush would be so complicated.

It's a bit more complicated than usual in your case.

Zoe's right.

I've been here a long time now.

I've become almost human.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with what you're feeling.

It would be so much easier to function without having to deal with feelings.

You're right about that.

If you can manage it. I have to manage it.

What about Luca?

I have to let him go.
