We could get our Dad's drone, fly it over the forest.

-Come look at this. -They're covering something up.

I'm Dan, by the way.

Anyway. You're so warm! Like a racehorse.

Dad's in charge of that big water bottling plant down the road.

Hexronn are stealing our water! That's the man, who's letting it happen!

Did you fix the wastewater overflow at the plant?

Did you fix the wastewater overflow at the plant?

-Yeah. Yeah, it's fine. -[Caroline] That is so sad.

I grew up in the swim hole.

I'm-- I'm gay.

You haven't told anyone else? Not even Caroline?

-Hey. -[Anisha] Hey, babe.

I've got two words for you-- 100,000!

Uh, that's three. And just what are you going on about?

Followers! I'm, like, a next-level influencer now.

-Oh, cool. -Not just cool!

Like, "How totally gutted are you that you're not me right now?"-cool.

Yeah, I'm so gutted.

And-- Oh, there's this amazing influencers' event at Triello's,

and like, I might get invited!

What's Triello's?

[Anisha] "What's Triello's?"

How long have you been out of the country?

-What's that? -What?

[Anisha] On the chair.

What? This?

Yeah, let's have a look!

Have you joined Gryffindor now?

No, it's something I wore at the Cross-Country Trials.

I cannot believe you're in a pony club.

So hilarious, you've gone all Kiwi on me.

No, I haven't.

-And look, I need to go, so… -[Anisha] All right.

-Bye. -Bye

Julia! Uh--

Hello, I-- I didn't know you were in the country.

I flew in from Boston this morning.

-Well, you got in just in time. -Mm-hm?

[Sam] There's a storm coming. Good flight?

Oh, frankly, I could do with a shower, and a large macchiato.

So, you've been bombarding me with messages.

Let's talk about these big concerns you have.

Well… I just feel like I'm being blindsided.

You know, mistakes are happening. The whole situation with the wastewater--

Well, increasing our productivity was bound to have consequences.

But my company has a clean, green image.

And we value that image.

It's one of the reasons we bought you.

But people are starting to ask questions, Julia.

And I don't know what to say because I don't know what's going on.

What aren't you telling me?

Sam, I didn't realize you were so paranoid.

Trust us. We're on the same team.

[sighs]

-[Stella] There! -It looks like a borehole.

-A what? -Where someone's drilled for water.

-It must be Hexronn. -But it's in the forest.

They can't do that! I mean, it's not legal, right?

-I hate them! -Guys, you've got no proof.

And my dad's still in charge, he's never going to let anything bad happen.

That's true. We don't know anything for sure.

Hey, you lot. You better get your horses into the tractor shed.

There's a storm coming, a big one.

-Come on! -A please would be nice.

-What? -Nothing.

[nickering]

-[Blaze neighing] -Whoa! Whoa, whoa. Easy, easy.

-[Stella] What's up with her? -Oh, I don't know.

They're all a bit edgy. Dan said they can tell when a storm's coming.

-[Stella] Coco! -I guess Coco's feeling it too.

No, she's just on the rug. Get off, Coco.

You two have the strangest relationship.

-See Coco, people think you're a weirdo. -[Coco nickering]

I think she just laughed at you.

-[Blaze nickering] -Shh, shh, shh.

Hey-- Do you think Tom would let me stay with her tonight?

[Stella] Well, we can ask.

[wind rushing]

What? You're freaking me out.

Can we stay here tonight?

You know, to keep an eye on the horses with the hurricane and everything.

It's not a hurricane.

You're asking for favors after the stunt you pulled at the cross-country?

Yeah, but Blaze is really jumpy,

and I'm just listening to my horse, like you said.

Well, it'll be good for the horses.

-[girls laugh] -Thanks

-Thanks, great. -Tom, could I grab Aramis's pom-poms?

[Issie scoffs] Seriously? Pom-poms?

They're for his ears, so he can't hear the thunder.

Cool! Makes him deaf like me.

Yeah, all right, okay, see you later. Oh, wait, wait, wait!

Make sure you call your folks.

I don’t want any of them ragging on me,

especially yours.

And Stella, I think your mum wants you to go home.

-Yeah, sure. -Really?

-It's pizza night!

We'll look after Coco for you.

Ha! Good luck.

[upbeat music plays]

[Caroline] Tom lives here, Mum.

Seriously?

Caleb, Mum wants you.

[thunder booms distantly]

Hello? Yeah.

Yeah.

Bye.

It’s all right. We can stay.

Oh, could you get her to drop off my retainer?

Ugh. You're such a suck-up.

She just loves me more.

Hey, Iz, chuck us Gally's jute rug?

-Okay. -That one.

-[Caroline] Ew! -Caleb!

Oh yeah, it's a bit gross.

-Yeah, you could have said. -Yeah, but it wouldn't have been as funny.

Hey, wait, no. That-- That is not funny!

Yes, it is!

[thunder booms]

[horses whinny]

Must be a power cut.

This is officially super creepy.

-At least we got the horses done in time. -Let's go back.

Night, Treacle. Sweet dreams.

-Do they dream? -Treacle dreams of winning Olympic gold.

Even your horse is full of it.

[Caleb] Moscovium.

Mercury.

-Radon. -[Caroline] No!

[Caleb] Neon.

-Argon. -Ah, make it stop.

Um, krypton.

[Caroline sighs]

Xenon, that’s a good one.

[gasps] Oh, no! Something just went across my hand.

-It was probably a spider. -Don’t worry, they’re not venomous.

Except the Katipō.

Have you ever seen a weta?

-They’re like, massive cockroaches. -Oh.

-My dad’s deathly afraid of them. -[Issie groans]

Yeah, you would never be a Kiwi, London.

-[laughing] -Yeah, I'm not sure I'm London anymore.

-What? -Nothing.

[door opens]

You lot all right?

-Yeah, we're good enough. -Fine.

Good, good.

I've come to ask if you need torches, but I see you've got your--

We're Gen Z. We've got tech for every crisis.

Until your batteries die. Hm, I'm gonna go and fix the generator.

Let's tell ghost stories.

No, no. Let's play Truth or Dare.

Yes! And everyone has to say their deepest, darkest secrets, or forfeit.

Let's not.

You're just saying that because your deepest, darkest secret

is that you buff your toenails.

-[Natasha] Really?

We had a power cut at Christmas once, and my Dad got us to play sardines.

-Sardines? -Yeah, it's-- It's a really silly game.

So, someone hides, and then everyone searches for them,

and when you find them, you join them, until there’s only one left.

Basically, Hide and Seek.

Yeah. My dad was a big kid, really.

Come on, then! I'll hide.

-Really? -Well, yeah!

If it stops Caleb from listing the whole periodic table,

I'll do anything.

[all laugh]

[thunder rumbles]

[pensive music plays]

[Dan grunts]

[phone ringing]

-I knew you wouldn't turn it off. -[Dan chuckles]

Move over.

[Issie] Oh, it's just you.

Great minds.

Yeah, I thought he'd double-bluff and come back.

Yeah, he's, um-- He's sneaky.

So… You haven't told anyone about your deepest, darkest secret yet then?

No, it's…

I-- I mean, I want to it's just finding the right time?

Like what do I say? Hey everybody, I'm gay!

Yeah, basically.

-But when you're ready. -I'm-- I'm working on it, okay?

Well, you know we can't be searching together,

so I'm gonna go have a look at the horsebox.

-I'll check around the back. -Okay.

[thunder cracks and rumbles]

[rumbling continues]

I love this sound.

-It gives me chills. -Yeah.

It’s best when you’re camping, you know?

When there’s nothing but a tent between you and the force of nature.

You should go.

To the outback and stuff, when you do your internship in Oz.

I have to get it first.

I thought you said you passed the test.

Yeah, but, there'll be heaps of people who applied.

They'll definitely want you, you're amazing.

Tell that to my dad.

Why?

He thinks I’ll be disappointed.

He’s scared that I’ll mess up,

and--

I don’t know, I think he’s more scared that I’ll nail it.

How do you mean?

Well, he's never even tried to leave this place.

I think it would suit him if I was the same.

You're not.

Really?

-Apart from your taste in music. -Oh.

Phil Collins is a genius.

I remember, um, my mum and stepdad went to see him for their anniversary.

Came back with matching t-shirts-- It was super lame.

You mean super cool.

How are things?

With your mum?

Ah, you know… Annoying.

We have these really awkward phone conversations once a week,

where she pretends to be interested.

[sighs] She’s obsessed with the new baby.

It’s, like--

I don’t know, whatever.

-That sucks. -Yeah.

Hey, Dan?

-[Issie] Gotcha! -[Dan yelps]

Hey, Issie.

-What were you talking about? -Nothing.

He's-- He's not here. Are you all right?

[Caroline huffs]

Caroline?

-[thunder rumbling] -[leaves rustling]

Caroline!

Hey, Caz.

What's wrong?

-[thunder cracks loudly] -[Issie screams]

[Natasha] Should we be up here? In a storm?

[deep boom overhead]

-Okay, maybe you're right. -Yeah, let's go back.

This is creeping me out.

-Everybody all right? -[Dan] Uh, yeah, we're sweet.

-[Tom] What are you fellas doing up there? -Um… Playing sardines.

-What? -She started it.

It's a game.

-It's an English thing. -Right…

Well, when you've finished your cucumber sandwiches,

I want you to double-check the bin lids are secure.

[Issie scoffs]

Does he ever come into a room without telling everyone what to do?

-[Tom distantly] No! Bin lids. -[door closes]

Hm?

Hey, Caroline, do you want some crisps?

We call them 'chips' in New Zealand, Issie!

-Okay… -Leave her.

-She's in a mood! -[sighs]

[eerie music plays]

-[thunder claps loudly] -[all scream]

[gasps] That's a welcome.

Gran, what are you doing here?

Looking for Tom. [sniffs]

-Where is he? -Shouting at a generator probably.

Oh well, it seems to have worked.

Aw! Ugh, I've been eating horse treats!

No wonder they tasted so weird.

But you kept eating them.

-I was bored! -[Tom] Good, back on!

Kia ora, Mitch.

-It’s a bit of a night to drop by. -Yeah.

I've got something here to show you.

You kids checked your horses recently?

-Every time. -Yeah, they're all fed and watered.

Look who's trying to buy me out.

-[Tom] What did you tell them? -Is that from Hexronn?

I said, “Over my dead body."

Did you get a letter?

Uh… Maybe?

So I'm a bit behind on the old admin. Sorry, Mitch.

[paper rustling]

[Tom] All right.

[coughs] Oh!

I don't believe it. There's no way they're getting my stables.

[Natasha] Uh, I don't understand.

Why do they want it?

They've got Dad's plant already.

Caleb, where exactly was the borehole again?

-[Caleb] Here. -Gran, come see this.

And that’s the water bottling plant, right? So look.

-[Mitch] We're right in the middle. -[Issie] Mm-hm.

-What borehole? -We found it in the forest.

-We think they're drilling for water. -We don't know anything for sure.

Right. And they think they're gonna pipe that water across our land, aye?

Yeah, looks lke it.

-Who do they think they are? -Wait, what's that?

Looks like an underground river, or something.

What? And this?

That's the swim hole.

So it was Hexronn, they ruined our swim hole!

-What? What do you mean? -We saw it the other day. It was toxic.

Do you think Hexronn is pumping wastewater into it or something?

-Could be. -Gran, that's where your dead bees were.

Bunch of environmental marauders!

Can they even get away with this?

I think they probably can.

[rain patters grow louder]

Oh-- Oh, wow, that's some rain.

Oh, crikey, I wonder if I shut the car window.

Oh, don't worry, Gran. I've got it.

Oh, thanks, love.

[electrical snapping]

Ah, you're kidding me!

Dan, can you check the leak in the storage room please?

Oh, yeah. No worries.

-Give me a hand, Nats. -Sure.

[thunder booms and rumbles]

[Issie groans]

My ring.

[Issie groans]

-[thunder claps] -[discordant notes play]

[horses neighing]

[Issie gasps]

Blaze!

[neighing]

Hey Blaze, are you okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

[wind howling]

-[Issie gasps] -[discordant notes play]

-[neighing] -[machine rumbles]

It was Hexronn.

[dripping]

You okay?

My dad's, like, public enemy number one, eh?

No.

Do you think they're evil then? Hexronn?

Evil?

-My Dad works there, so-- -Exactly.

Like what have they actually done other than give heaps of people new jobs?

Yeah.

You don't agree.

I mean, I'm not a fan of big companies coming in and taking over.

-It's like, they're all just about money. -[sniffs]

Hey, no, it's-- It wasn't about you,

or your dad. It's so much bigger than that.

It's okay.

-Oh. Ah, look-- -Oh. No, no, I-- I thought that's, um--

-Oh! Um… -Um, I've-- I've-- Yeah, I have to--

No, Natasha, no, no. Natasha!

-She okay? -Uh, yeah.

-Hey look, listen, I can't find Issie. -What?

I've got to make a move now before I need a canoe.

-Can you tell her I've gone? -Sure.

Whoa, whoa. It’s okay, it’s okay.

I know what you’ve been through, but I’m here. You don’t need to be scared.

[nickering]

I promise you, I’ll get you back to your herd.

-Hey, I was worried about you. -Why?

I don't know. Mitch said she couldn't find you.

Dan, I think I know why Blaze is so scared.

-Why? -I had a vision.

The herd were galloping through the forest.

They were scared.

I think they were running away from something. A terrible noise.

I think it has to do with Hexronn.

Dan, we need to stop them.

Hey, Caz.

Why-- Why are you being so quiet? It's freaking me out.

Really? 'Cause you're always going on about how noisy I am.

-Thought you'd be happy. [door opens]

-We need to find a way to stop Hexronn. -[Caleb] You okay?

Yeah, I just-- The herd. Where do we think they were?

We found evidence of them here.

Look how close to the borehole it is. [scoffs]

I knew it! That’s why they left. The noise of the drilling.

So Hexronn made them bolt?

They shouldn't be drilling there. Yeah, it's an ancient forest.

-It's untouched. -Well, until now!

We need to stop them.

What can we do? We're kids!

-So is Greta Thunberg. -Exactly.

We need to start a campaign.

Tell everyone what they’re up to.

I was about to crush level 14 of DevilStar. This better be good.

We need a killer website.

We're gonna start a campaign to stop Hexronn.

[Stella] No probs, but how are we gonna cut through the traffic?

What?

There’s a lot of noise out there. We need to get noticed.

Hey, guys. I might know someone.

This is my friend Anisha. This is Caleb, Caroline, Dan, and Stella.

-Hi. -Hey, guys.

-Hey. -Hey!

So, you’re the ones that have turned my mate all Kiwi then?

Are you kidding? She's all London.

-No-- Well, maybe, I'm neither. -Maybe you're both.

Okay, well, maybe I’m global then.

Hey, Anish, we need your help.

We want to take down this totally evil corporation.

Ooh, I like the sound of that.

[thunder claps and rumbles]

Wow, New Zealand's loud.

Yeah, there's this epic storm.

We're having unseasonable blasts at the moment,

-up to 100 kilometers an hour. -[Anisha laughs]

Are you guys good? Because I need to go check on Blaze.

-Mm-hm. -Yeah, we're golden.

Yeah, golden.

Hey. Blaze, you okay?

[door bangs open]

Natasha, you're soaking wet.

Went for a walk.

Look, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.

But I won’t judge you.

Well, unless it’s because New Zealand lost the rugby,

then I really will judge you.

-I can't tell you, it's so embarrassing. -What?

I just--

I kinda thought Dan liked me,

and so, I kind of showed him how I felt.

And, um,

it was so awkward.

Are you sure?

-He might not have realized what you-- -Oh, believe me, it was obvious.

How am I ever gonna face him again?

Come on! It's Dan, he's cool.

I know he’s cool. That’s why I like him,

because he’s kind and funny, and he’s cute.

Yeah, he is.

I mean, he's nice, you know?

[Stella] Hey, I made a GIF!

Oh, wow! That's great.

-My dad is gonna kill me. -Amazing, Stella!

-We should send it to Anisha. -[Stella] Cool.

-What do you reckon, Caz? -I don't know. You're in my way.

-Well, go around me. -Or you could move.

-Or you could move. -Fine.

-Caroline! -What was that about?

I have no idea.

-[Caleb] Caroline. -What?

-What is your problem? -You!

-You're my problem. -You're being a total pain.

Why don't you go and moan to Issie about it?

-What? -I heard you.

-In the lounge. -Heard what?

Everything.

How could you?

Did you think I’d have a problem with it?

No, I just…

[Caroline] I’m your twin.

I’m supposed to be your best friend.

How could you tell her first?

I don't know.

Great.

Just walk in like everything's normal.

[sighs] But it’s so embarrassing.

[inhales] The way that he looked at me, like--

Like he was really sorry for me.

Oh, I’m such a loser.

[voice breaking] How am I going to pretend everything’s normal?

Aw, hey, Natasha. Honestly, it's fine. He's not gonna--

Oh, whoa! Um,

I was just checking on the-- One, two-- Six, yeah. Uh,

you okay? Yeah?

Ah? Oh, ah.

You've got this under contr-- That’s good. I’m just gonna--

Ah, check the thing…

[door closes]

-Well, at least you know how to scare Tom. -Yeah.

Don't worry, okay? You know, once, I fancied this boy at school.

So I sent him a text asking him out--

Ugh-- And he sent it to the whole class.

I quoted a song lyric, and it wasn’t even a good one!

[both groan]

-Yep. -So then what happened?

-I immigrated. -What?

I’m kidding. Everyone literally forgot about it the next day.

Wow, that was inspiring.

-You should do a TED talk. -Yeah!

Hey, thanks.

It's okay.

[Natasha sniffles]

[door opens]

[Dan] Hey, Natasha.

-[Issie scoffs] -[Caleb] Look, we made a crime board!

[Caroline] Stella's put it all on the website too.

[Dan] Yeah, it's pretty crazy stuff.

We have to get the truth out there!

-[Dan] Yeah. -[Natasha] What?

Oh, um--

We’re trying to let people know about some of the stuff Hexronn's doing.

My dad wouldn’t do this.

Oh, no, no, no. We’re not saying your dad did that--

I mean, my mum works there and so does Dan’s dad.

It’s got nothing to do with them. It’s Hexronn.

Hey, Nats. It's not personal.

It's pathetic and childish!

[Issie] We have to do something to stop them.

-Hexronn drove out the herd! -How do you know?

I had a vision.

Are you joking?

-A horse told you do this? -No.

Look, you have no proof Hexronn has done anything illegal.

It’s all just wild speculation!

You’re gonna look like a bunch of stupid little kids.

Well--

I guess we could hold back until we get more proof.

I don’t think we can hold this back.

-What? -Your friend, Anisha? She’s good--

Like, really connected.

-[Caroline] Whoa, how many? -[Issie] Wow.

That's a lot of hits.

Well done, guys.

You have no idea what you've just done.

[door slams shut]

[Caroline] You don't think she's right, do you?
