(ZAPPING SOUND)

>ASHKA? I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING

YOU'LL FIND VERY INTERESTING. THESE ARE FIREWORKS.

THEY'RE WHAT THE BOY USED TO DEFEAT THE MARAUDERS.

AFTER CAREFUL STUDY, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK OUT HOW TO RELEASE THEIR MAGIC.

WATCH.

STAND BACK. THE GUNPOWDER IS DANGEROUS. >THAT LITTLE THING?

(BOOM!)

(COUGHING) >I'M SORRY, FORGIVE ME.

>ENOUGH! GO TO THE BOY. GET HIM TO TELL YOU

HOW THIS FIREWORKS ARE MADE. I MUST HAVE THE SECRET

OF THIS GUNPOWDER.

(HORSES SNORTING)

>HEY, MUNNY.

>THE TRIBUTE FROM MY VILLAGE FOR THE SPELLBINDER.

>EXCUSE ME, SIR. >YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE. >PLEASE, I HAVE TO

SEE THE SPELLBINDER ASHKA. >NOBODY GOES INTO THE CASTLE BUT THE SPELLBINDERS

AND THE SERVANTS. NOW BE ON YOUR WAY. >BUT I HAVE TO SHOW HER THIS.

IT BELONGED TO THE BOY

ASHKA BROUGHT HERE. IT IS PICTURES OF ANOTHER WORLD. >HEY, BORIN. >YEAH?

>COME AND HAVE A LOOK AT THIS. >WHAT IS IT?

>SHE SAYS IT HAS PICTURES IN IT. >REALLY? >YEAH.

>CAREFUL, YOU COULD BREAK IT. >GO AWAY, GET BACK TO YOUR VILLAGE.

>HEY!

OPEN THIS DOOR!

(CRASH!)

>DO YOU SEE HER? >NO. >IF WE CATCH HER,

SHE'LL BE VERY SORRY. OPEN THE GATE.

>HELLO PAUL.

ASHKA WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY THE FIREWORKS. SHE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

HOW YOU MAKE THIS GUNPOWDER. >LISTEN, I'M NOT TELLING ANYONE ANYTHING

UNTIL SOMEBODY AGREES TO GET ME HOME. >HOW DARE YOU TALK LIKE THAT TO AN APPRENTICE?

YOU'RE JUST A PRISONER. NO ONE CAN HELP YOU.

>LET ME GO! >ARE YOU READY TO TALK? >STOP IT!

THAT'S NO WAY FOR AN APPRENTICE TO BEHAVE. >BUT HE WAS INSOLENT, ASHKA.

>PAUL, COME WITH ME.

>HAVE THE REGENTS REACHED

A DECISION ABOUT ME? >NOT YET, BUT IT'S UNFAIR TO KEEP YOU WAITING IN A CELL.

AFTER ALL, IT'S NOT EVERY DAY WE HAVE A VISITOR FROM ANOTHER WORLD.

>SO YOU DO BELIEVE ME.

>LET'S GET YOU CLEANED UP FIRST. THEN WE CAN TALK.

>KATRINA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

>I'VE HAD A FANTASTIC IDEA. WE'LL SHOW PAUL'S DAD MY RESEARCH.

>I DON'T KNOW, KATRINA. IT SOUNDS TOO WEIRD. >NOT TO A SCIENTIST. ONCE DR. REYNOLDS

SEES THIS HE'LL REALIZE I'M RIGHT, THEN HE'LL HELP RESCUE PAUL FROM THE PARALLEL WORLD.

>YEAH, SO WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR? >YOU HAVE TO COME. YOU'RE PAUL'S FRIEND.

HE'LL LISTEN TO YOU. >FORGET IT, KATRINA. >WELL, IF YOU DON'T, I'LL HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE

THAT I REALLY AM YOUR GIRLFRIEND. >HUH! NO ONE WILL BELIEVE YOU. >THEY WILL WHEN

THEY SEE THIS.

>DEAREST KATRINA, GODDESS OF MY HEART,

LOVE OF MY LIFE. >THAT IS NOT MY SIGNATURE. >WELL, WHO'S GONNA KNOW THAT?

JUST A PHOTOCOPY.

I'VE GOT PLENTY MORE. DEAL?

>FEELING BETTER?

>YEAH, MUCH. >GRYVON, MORE HOT WATER.

>THANK YOU, GRYVON. >I'LL CALL YOU WHEN THE FOOD IS READY.

>I AM AN APPRENTICE, NOT A SERVANT.

WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING ME? >I'M NOT PUNISHING YOU.

I JUST WANT PAUL TO THINK I'M HIS FRIEND. >WHY?

>GRYVON, WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER KNOWLEDGE HE MAY HAVE? IF PAUL TRUSTS ME,

HE WILL OPEN UP AND TALK. WE CAN BOTH GAIN

FROM HIM, GRYVON.

>PAUL, CAN I GET YOU SOME MORE HOT WATER?

(TOOT)

(TOOT)

(TOOT) >PAUL?

(TOOT)

>SO THAT'S WHERE SHE PUT IT.

>PAUL?

(SLIGHT WHISTLING SOUND)

(BOOM!)

>GET OUT FROM THERE!

WHO ARE YOU? HOW DID YOU GET INSIDE THE CASTLE? >SORRY, SPELLBINDER.

>SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

>OH. >MY NAME IS RIANA,

SPELLBINDER. I CAME HERE TO HELP PAUL. >PAUL? THE BOY WHO

CLAIMS HE IS FROM ANOTHER WORLD. >HE IS. I CAN PROVE IT.

THIS IS HIS CAMERA. I BROUGHT THE PICTURE BOX

THAT MAKES IT WORK. IT'LL SHOW YOU PAUL'S WORLD. >SHOW ME.

DON'T POINT IT AT ME!

IT MAY BE DANGEROUS. >IT'S NOT. IT JUST COLLECTS PICTURES, MOVING PICTURES.

IT'S NOT WORKING.

>GIVE IT TO ME. >WAIT, I KNOW I CAN DO IT. >DO YOU DARE TO

DENY A SPELLBINDER?

>DON'T POINT IT AT ME. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS.

>HOW DID IT DO THAT?

>SOME MORE MEAT, PAUL?

ANOTHER VEGETABLE? >SOME SWEET CAKE, MAYBE. >I COULDN'T, REALLY.

BOY, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK HOME

AND TELL DAD ABOUT ALL THIS. >I'M SURE WE CAN PERSUADE THE REGENTS TO HELP

YOU GET HOME. IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR THEM IN RETURN.

>LIKE WHAT? >COME HERE.

THIS IS A MAP OF

THE SPELLBINDER LAND. HERE IS THE CASTLE AND THE TOWER

NEAR CLAYHILL WHERE YOU ARRIVED. >AND ARE ALL THESE TOWERS LIKE THIS ONE?

>THEY POWER THE FLYING SHIPS AND THE EYESTONES.

>WHERE DOES THE POWER COME FROM? >DON'T WORRY ---

>THAT'S NO CONCERN OF YOURS.

>AND IS THIS THE SEA HERE? >NO.

THE WASTELANDS. WHERE THE MARAUDERS COME FROM. WHEN THE DARKNESS CAME,

EVERYTHING BUT OUR LAND WAS DESTROYED. >ONLY THE POWER OF SPELLBINDERS SAVED IT.

>BUT WHAT CAUSED THIS DARKNESS? >THE MARAUDERS.

>AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. DESTROYING OUR VILLAGES AND STEALING OUR CROPS.

IF YOU COULD TEACH US HOW TO MAKE THIS GUNPOWDER,

ALL THESE VILLAGES COULD BE PROTECTED. >OH. WELL, I MEAN IT'S EASY.

ALL YOU NEED IS --

>WHAT IS THE BOY DOING HERE? THE REGENTS ORDERED THAT HE BE KEPT IN A CELL. >I KNOW, REGENT.

REGENT, CORREON, BUT THE BOY WAS BADLY IN NEED OF A BATH.

>YOU OFFER BATHS TO ALL THE PRISONERS?

COME WITH ME, BOY.

(CRASH) >FOLLOW HIM, GRYVON. FIND OUT WHAT HE'S UP TO.

>ARE YOU TAKING ME BACK TO MY CELL? >NO, TO MY ROOMS.

I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN HOW MY LIKENESS GOT INTO THIS.

>MY TAPE! WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

(DOOR OPENS)

RIANA! I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!

AND YOU BROUGHT THE TAPE. THANK YOU.

>SHOW ME THE MOVING PICTURES. >THE REGENTS WILL HAVE

TO BELIEVE I'M FROM ANOTHER WORLD WHEN THEY SEE THIS.

>DON'T BE TOO SURE. >RIANA.

>SHOW ME YOUR WORLD.

>WHAT ARE THEY?

>THEY'RE CARS. THEY'RE LIKE CARTS BUT THEY RUN WITHOUT HORSES.

>THE FAST CHAIRS YOU TOLD ME ABOUT. >MM-HMM. >AND THOSE?

>FACTORIES. BUILDINGS WHERE WE MAKE THINGS.

>YOU ARE RIGHT, PAUL. THE REGENTS

WILL BELIEVE YOU. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE (?) IN THIS WORLD.

>I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS. PAUL'S DAD

IS PROBABLY STILL UPSET. WE DON'T WANT TO AGGRAVATE HIM. >DON'T WORRY. PAUL'S FATHER

IS A SCIENTIST. HE'LL LOOK AT MY RESEARCH CALMLY AND RATIONALLY.

>THIS IS NONSENSE! THERE'S NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS TO ANY OF IT!

>BUT THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SHOWS THIS MAGNETIC ROCK ALL AROUND THE CAVE

WHERE PAUL DISAPPEARED. >SO? >SO THE MAGNETIC

ROCKS AND THE POWER SURGE DOWN THE CABLE

CREATED AN ELECTROMAGNETIC DOORWAY. >YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. >BUT I SAW PAUL! >WHERE IS HE?

>NOW DON'T GET EXCITED, SWEETHEART. I'M AFRAID KATRINA HAS MADE A MISTAKE.

>NO, I HAVEN'T! LOOK AT THIS. A WORKER AT A

POWER STATION WAS HIT BY AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE. ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS HIS SHOES.

>IS PAUL DEAD? >NO, NO, NO. PAUL'S FINE. WE'LL FIND HIM SOON.

NOW LOOK, YOU GO UPSTAIRS. I'LL BE UP IN A SECOND, ALL RIGHT?

I THINK YOU'D BETTER LEAVE. >BUT WE'VE GOT TO GET SOME SORT OF

ELECTROMAGNETIC GENERATOR UP TO THE CAVE. IF WE CAN RECREATE THE EFFECT,

MAYBE WE CAN GET PAUL BACK. >KATRINA, I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP,

BUT THERE IS A MUCH SIMPLER EXPLANATION. A BOY ANSWERING PAUL'S DESCRIPTION

HAS BEEN SEEN IN THE BUSH NEAR GIJIWARRUP. THAT IS ONLY 30 KILOMETERS FROM THE CAVE.

NOW THE POLICE ARE UP THERE NOW LOOKING FOR HIM AND I'M GOING TO JOIN THEM. >THAT'S GREAT.

SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU, MR. REYNOLDS.

>KATRINA.

WAIT, MAYBE THE KID IN THE BUSH IS PAUL. >HE CAN'T BE! PAUL'S IN

A PARALLEL WORLD. WHAT'S THE POINT.

NO ONE WILL BELIEVE ME.

>I DO. >YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT. YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING UP AT THE CAVE.

>WELL, ACTUALLY, I --

>YOU DID SEE SOMETHING! >BEFORE THE CABLE CAME DOWN, I THINK

I SAW SOMETHING. COULD'VE BEEN PAUL. >WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?

>I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAW. I DIDN'T WANT EVERYBODY TO THINK I WAS CRAZY.

SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW? >WE GET BACK UP TO THE CAVE AND TRY

AND FIND A WAY INTO THE OTHER WORLD. >HOW? >I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT WHEN WE GET THERE.

>WE'RE THE ONLY ONES

KNOW THE TRUTH, ALEX. WE'RE THE ONLY HOPE PAUL'S GOT.

>WHY ARE THERE SO MANY

OF THESE FACTORIES? >THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY WORLD.

AND THEY ALL WANT STUFF. CARS, WASHING MACHINES, TVs,

>WHAT IS TVs? >THEY'RE LIKE THIS CAMERA,

BUT WITHOUT THE TAPE, AND EVERYONE HAS ONE IN THEIR HOUSE. >WHY?

>SO THEY CAN WATCH WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. >SO EVERYBODY IN YOUR WORLD

KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE ELSE? >YES.

>DO YOU HAVE POWER SUITS AND EYESTONES IN YOUR WORLD?

>NO, BUT WE HAVE LASERS AND MISSILES AND COMPUTERS.

THEY'RE MACHINES THAT THINK A BILLION TIMES FASTER THAN A PERSON.

>WE HAVE FLYING SHIPS. >AND WE HAVE ROCKETS THAT HAVE FLOWN MEN TO THE MOON.

>THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. THE MOON IS TOO SMALL TO STAND ON.

IT'S ONLY AS BIG AS AN APPLE. >DON'T GIVE ME THAT. CORREON HAD A MODEL

OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM IN HIS ROOM. YOU GUYS KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE MOON AND THE PLANETS.

>WHY DID YOU LET HIM SEE IT? >WHY IS IT SUCH A SECRET?

EVERYONE IN MY WORLD KNOWS THAT STUFF FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL.

>THE SPELLBINDERS DECIDE WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW.

IT'S FOR THEIR OWN GOOD. >IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! YOU GET

ALL THE POWER AND THE KNOWLEDGE AND THEY GET TREATED LIKE SLAVES! >I'VE HEARD ENOUGH.

NO MATTER WHERE THAT BOY COMES FROM, HE HAS BROKEN THE LAW.

>BUT HIS KNOWLEDGE COULD BE VALUABLE.

PERHAPS HE CAN HELP US REPAIR OUR FLYING SHIPS. >NO.

HE ALREADY KNOWS TOO MUCH ABOUT US. (?)

>I THINK WE SHOULD QUESTION HIM FURTHER.

>VERY WELL.

TAKE HIM BACK TO HIS CELL.

>THEY'RE NOT GONNA LET ME GO, ARE THEY? >YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ARGUED WITH LUKAN.

TOMORROW YOU MUST APOLOGIZE TO HIM.

>WHAT DID MARNA MEAN ABOUT REPAIRING THE FLYING SHIPS?

>THEY WERE BUILT BEFORE THE DARKNESS WHEN THE SPELLBINDERS

HAD GREAT KNOWLEDGE. NOW WE DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW WE FLY.

IF ONE BREAKS, WE CAN'T REPAIR IT.

WE ONLY HAVE SIX LEFT THAT WORK. WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

WITH OUR POWER SUITS. ALL MY STUDIES ARE AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN

OUR LOST KNOWLEDGE.

PERHAPS YOU CAN HELP.

>WELL, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT PHYSICS. BUT I COULD TRY. >GOOD.

>WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO RIANA?

>SHE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.

>THEY'VE GOT BRAINS IN BOXES CALLED COMPUTERS AND THEY'VE SENT A MAN ON THE MOON.

>THE BOY WILL BE OF NO USE TO ME IF HE TELLS THE REGENTS ALL OUR SECRETS.

>WHAT IF THE REGENTS CAN'T FIND HIM TOMORROW?

>GET UP. THOSE ARE FOR READING, NOT FOR SLEEPING ON.

>SPELLBINDER,

DID THE REGENTS BELIEVE PAUL'S STORY? >THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSED.

>WHEN CAN I GO HOME? >I'M SORRY, RIANA.

BUT YOU HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH OF THE SPELLBINDERS' WORLD.

YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE THE CASTLE AND MUST STAY HERE AS A SERVANT.

>I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY VILLAGE! >IT IS A GREAT HONOR

TO SERVE THE SPELLBINDERS. >I DON'T WANT

TO BE A SERVANT! I WANT TO BE HOME WITH MY FAMILY!

>THE ALTERNATIVE IS BANISHMENT.

SOMEONE WILL COME TO FETCH YOU.

>CHRISTINE?

CHRISTINE?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?

>PAUL'S NOT COMING BACK, IS HE?

>OF COURSE HE IS. PAUL'S JUST GOT

HIMSELF LOST IN THE BUSH. HE'D FEEL AWFUL IF HE THOUGHT WE'D GIVEN UP ON HIM.

(SHE SOBS) >I ONLY WANT HIM BACK.

>SO DO I, SWEETHEART.

SO DO I.

>GET UP, PAUL. YOU MUST GO WITH GRYVON. >WHY? WHAT'S HAPPENING?

>THE REGENTS HAVE DECIDED TO BANISH YOU.

>BUT CORREON SAID THAT I -- >CORREON IS AN OLD FOOL. >I PROMISED

TO HELP YOU GET HOME. DO YOU WANT TO GO OR NOT?

>DON'T WORRY ABOUT RIANA. ASHKA WILL LOOK AFTER HER.

>HELP! GUARD, HELP ME!

HELP! (BANG!)

(LOUD KNOCK)

>REGENT?

YOU STUPID GIRL, I'M HERE TO HELP YOU. I'VE BEEN TRYING

TO GET PAUL OUT OF THE CASTLE BUT HE SAYS HE WON'T GO WITHOUT YOU.

BUT IF YOU WANT TO STAY HERE AND BE A SERVANT FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS --

>WAIT.

>WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME? >SOMEWHERE THE REGENTS WON'T FIND YOU.

(DOOR SLAMS)

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME.

>HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO STAY HERE?

>HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO MAKE THE GUNPOWDER?

>PAUL! >GUARD!

GUARD! SHE HELPED THE BOY ESCAPE!

SEIZE HER!!
