Original subtitles

Riana! Get away from him!

- But, Ma... - Do as I say!

Who are you?

Da, he saved my life!

I fell in the river and he pulled me out. I could have drowned.

- Can he stay with us for a while? - No.

I don't want strangers in my house.

You heard what the Summoner said.

- We must report him. - Please, Ma!

Who is this?

Episode 4 'IT ISN'T MAGIC, IT'S SCIENCE'

Who are you?

Where are you from?

His name is Paul. He's... my cousin.

That's right!

Haven't seen him for years.

How long will you be staying in Clayhill, Paul?

- I'm not sure. - Don't worry, Torel.

He'll be out in the fields tomorrow with the rest of us.

Good.

Enjoy your stay, Paul.

You lied to the Summoner!

What else could I do?

Riana brought the boy here. Do you want her banished?

But we don't know where he's from.

What does it matter? He saved our daughter's life!

Can Paul stay? Please?

He sleeps in the barn.

It could have been worse.

She could have made you sleep with the pigs.

Paul!

Paul!

I'm tired, Dad, let me go back to sleep.

Paul, it's Riana. It's time for work.

I'm not old enough to go to work.

Everyone who eats must work. It is the law.

Riana, it's still dark.

By the time you dress and have breakfast, it won't be. Here.

What?

I think we'd better find you some other clothes.

Hey, Alex! Have the cops found Paul yet?

No, no. They're still looking.

What were you doing in the cave with girls anyway?

What do you think?

Get real!

Hey, Lisa!

I think I know what happened to Paul.

What?

I think he got sucked into another dimension.

What?

Well, you know like in the Bermuda Triangle...

...where all those planes and ships disappeared.

But the Bermuda Triangle is on the other side of the world.

Yeah, but what if something similar exists up at Mount Lara?

That would explain all those weird lights and everything.

- I'm gonna tell the police. - I don't think that's a good idea.

- Why not? - They'll think you're mad.

Well, you don't think I'm mad.

Do you?

Can we swap jobs? My back is killing me.

No!

You got me into this. You get the hard job.

What magic did you use to keep the water in the pipe?

It's not magic, it's air pressure.

Jal, go and get some more water.

We'll have to make sure no-one sees us.

Gryvon is coming, Gryvon is coming!

Hello, Apprentice!

Doesn't he look handsome, Bron? He'll make a fine Spellbinder.

I hope the Spellbinders have taught him some manners.

Bron!

Bron!

Hello, Apprentice!

Hello, father!

Welcome home, son!

What brings you here?

Oh, Ashka is worried about all those Marauders in this area.

She wants me to investigate.

Good. Let me take care of your horse.

Thank you, father.

Hello, Jal!

Where is that pretty sister of yours?

Hey, don't be afraid, I'm not a Spellbinder yet.

Do you want a cake?

You're gonna tell me where she is?

At the top field.

Why don't this Spellbinders let you have anything new?

In my world, nearly all farming is done with machines.

What is machines?

They're complicated tools that make life easier.

Like in my world we don't have to walk everywhere.

We have cars, they're like a chair with wheels.

And you sit in the chair and it takes you wherever you wanna go.

Could this chair take me to Rivertown?

No, because you don't have any roads.

- Could it take me up the river? - No.

- Could it take me across the fields? - Not without destroying your crops, but...

These chairs would be no use in our world.

Okay, but the point is, let's say you wanted a chair... a car.

Then the Spellbinders should let you have one.

So the Spellbinders are wrong for not letting us have something...

...that we don't want and for which we have no use anyway.

That sounds stupid!

What are you doing?

It is forbidden to sow fields like that.

Who are you?

This is my cousin Paul, Apprentice.

Where are you from?

Riana, it's your brother! Hurry!

Jal!

Wait!

Rian...

There is no breath.

I'm sorry, Bron.

A-a-ah!

Wait! Maybe I can start him breathing again.

Stay away from my son!

Please, the longer we wait, the less chance there is of saving him!

Ma! If Jal is dead, then Paul can't do him any more harm.

Let him try, Maran!

His heart's stopped. Riana, help me. Help me!

When I say, pinch his nose and breath into his mouth.

Okay, now!

Two breaths.

Again, Riana.

Okay, which one's a thumb in?

That one.

- Wrong again! - Come and eat with us, Paul.

Bron.

Will you set up a bed for Paul in here? It's far too draughty in that barn.

Hello, Riana.

Would you like some lunch, Apprentice?

No, Maran, I just came to see how Jal is.

I'm fine. Paul's been doing tricks.

How did you bring the boy back to life?

My father taught me, he's a sci...

...a Healer.

You didn't tell me what village you're from.

Sydney.

I've flown all over this land and I've never heard of it.

You've been in a flying ship?

Yes, I've flown to the end of the world and looked over the edge.

What?

Time to go back to work. Excuse us, Apprentice.

Gryvon is a liar. The world doesn't have an edge.

It's round like an orange. And people live all over it.

They'd fall off the bottom into the fire!

There's no fire underneath the world.

Every day the sun dies.

And every night it passes through the fires beneath the world...

...so that in the morning it can be full of heat again.

Riana, the Sun never goes out.

The world rotates so we face away from it.

The Sun doesn't go around the world, the world goes around the Sun, okay?

Okay, you're the Sun, I'm the world. I go around you and as I go I rotate.

Now it's day. Now it's night.

And day, and night. Can you see it?

And day and night, and day...

What are they doing?

Paul must be teaching her a dance from his village.

It's a very strange dance.

Blight!

There is red blight on the wheat! Look!

It must be stopped before it spreads to the other fields.

I'll tell the Summoner!

...and night and day.

We'd better get back to work.

When we finish, you can have a bath.

Ah, a nice hot bath!

Come on!

That was great!

I wish Alex could see me now.

Who's Alex?

My best friend. It's his fault that I'm here.

Hey, Alex! Here comes your girlfriend.

Hey, Alex! I need to talk to you.

I know I'm gonna sound crazy but I think Paul's in another dimension.

Well, you know how things disappear in the Bermuda Triangle?

I think the same thing's happened to Paul.

You're right!

- Do you believe me? - No, you do sound crazy.

I know I'm right, Alex, and I'm gonna prove it.

Spellbinder, I ask you to help us.

Paul, listen to this!

The read blight threatens our crops.

Tell your people to stay in their homes tonight.

We will cast a powerful spell.

You turned the radio on.

The Eyestones, they must be radios.

And the Summoning Tower, it must be a broadcasting tower.

I don't understand.

We have to get to the field tonight and see this magic spell.

- We'll be in trouble if we're caught. - We'll be alright.

There!

They're crop-dusting!

Come back!

They're spraying the fields with chemicals - poisons to kill the blight.

The Spellbinders aren't magicians!

They use science! Just like in my world.

Where did they come from?

They live in a castle to the west of the Great Forest.

They say its towers are so high, they touch the clouds.

- Have you been there? - No, it is forbidden.

But Gryvon says it's the most beautiful place you can imagine.

Maybe the Spellbinders can help me get home.

Gryvon, can I talk to you?

My correct title is Apprentice.

Okay, Apprentice.

I need to get to the castle and talk to the Spellbinders.

Are you mad? You know it's forbidden.

I need the Spellbinders to help me get home.

I know you'll find this hard to believe and I don't understand how it happened...

...but I'm from another world.

Riana, you cousin has been out in the sun for too long.

- Come to the barn I'll prove it! - No, Paul!

How dare you touch an Apprentice?

Apologise.

- I'm sorry. - Properly.

- On your knees. - What?

Get down on your knees and apologise for touching me.

You've got to be kidding!

Do it, Paul! Touching an Apprentice is forbidden. It is the law.

Apprentice Gryvon, I'm sorry for touching you.

Riana, keep your crazy cousin away from me and be thankful I was lenient.

Thank you, Paul. Put it down there.

Cheer up! We'll think of a way to make Gryvon believe you.

How? He's a total idiot.

If his brains were gunpowder, he couldn't even blow his nose.

The bandage will have to come off, Bron.

I'm afraid it's going to hurt.

No worries, Healer. Bron laughs at pain.

Ow!

What is it?

We use it for stopping infections. It's called goodyellow.

Where I come from it's called sulphur.

I just thought of a way of blowing Gryvon's nose.

Why are we here? If we are caught, we'll be punished.

If I'm really in a parallel universe...

...then I guess the same things that exist in my world...

...exist in the same place in yours.

Bingo! Saltpetre.

What do you want with the bittercrystal?

I'm planning a little surprise for Gryvon.

Riana said there were tiny people in it.

Leave Paul's things alone.

Come on, give them to me.

Go on.

Paul, tell me what you're doing?

Making gunpowder. Can you get me some charcoal?

What is gunpowder for?

Fireworks.

- Magic? - No, science.

Oh, sorry, Katrina.

Hum, I didn't know you're into science fiction.

Ms. Gibson, do you believe that there are other places...

...or other worlds that we don't know about?

- Like other planets? - No, like other... dimensions.

Well, quantum physicists are coming up with some pretty amazing discoveries.

There's a theory that there may be other worlds which exist parallel to ours.

- Could you explain that to me? - Not in five minutes.

This should give you the basic idea.

If you have any questions, come and ask me.

But I can't guarantee I'll be able to answer them.

Thanks, Miss!

Okay, let's go and surprise Gryvon.

Marauders! Marauders are attacking!

Riana!

They're stealing the Spellbinders' tribute!

Get away from there!

Leave him alone!

Well done! Good work.

Did you see that? My nephew draw off all the Marauders.

Isn't he a marvel?

- Using magic is forbidden. - It wasn't magic. It's science.

I told you, I'm from another world. I can prove it.

What is this?

It won't hurt you, it's just a box that takes pictures.

I'll show you what my world looks like.

There was a tape, a black box. Where is it?

This is the bag I saw in Ashka's tent in Rivertown.

You were the one who stole my Eyestone. Seize him!

I will summon the Spellbinders.

- Paul saved the village. - Riana, be quiet.

- You can't punish him for that. - The law is the law.

- He didn't know. He's from another... - Riana, shut up!

Give me that! Lock him up!

- Paul! I've come to get you out. - No, stop.

I don't wanna get out. My plan worked. The Spellbinders are coming.

They're my only chance to get home.

It's time.

Riana, if you really wanna help, get the videotape, the black box.

The Spellbinders will want to see my world.

It must be in the barn somewhere. And give it to the Summoner.

- Thanks for the hospitality, fellas. - You have no reason to smile.

You have broken the law.

Once the Spellbinders find out where I'm from, they won't care.

They won't care where are you from. You'll be banished.

What?

You'll be sent to the Wastelands.

No-one ever comes back.
