The truth is, you're never going back home.

Let him go!

Help! Help me!

Riana!

Episode 8 'SECRETS OF THE SPELLBINDERS'

Help!

Help me!

Riana! Help!

Riana!

Paul!

Help! Help me!

The rope!

Riana!

I'm coming!

Good!

Be careful.

What's the matter?

They're just dead people. What are you frightened of?

Noth... Nothing.

I just hurt myself when I fell.

Paul? Riana?

Regent, come down! You've got to see this.

Spellbinders!

They must have been here since the time of the Darkness.

- Don't touch anything! - I'm just lighting the candle.

These are plans... for constructing a power suit.

And a flying ship! See?

I can't read this.

These are the Spellbinder secrets I've been searching for.

We can build the new suits and ships!

Correon, shouldn't we get back before Ashka finds out you've tricked her?

I can't leave now. This find is much too important.

I'll go and watch the gates.

This is a nightmare!

We're supposed that we've read some book by Homer Simpson or somebody.

His name's just Homer. See? I borrowed a copy from Mr. Byrne.

What? I can't read this!

Now alright, my little-words, please take your bags to the dormitories and settle in.

We'll meet in half an hour and have a spot of Homeric first before lunch.

As soon as we get a chance, we'll sneak away up to the cave.

Hey, what about lunch?

Impossible!

Impossible! The fools!

It was the Spellbinders themselves who caused the Darkness, not the Marauders!

What?

The old Spellbinders were trying to increase their powers...

...but something went wrong.

Listen.

'Moments after the experiment began, the earth convulsed.'

'Cracks appeared in the ground and mountains of fire arose.'

Earthquakes and volcanoes.

That's why your world is so different from mine. Go on!

'The sky was black with clouds and the sun disappeared.'

'The trees began to die.'

It sounds like a nuclear winter.

In my world, people learnt how to turn fireworks into bombs.

One bomb can destroy a whole castle.

A nuclear bomb is a million times more powerful.

Madness!

If enough of these went off, they would blast so much dust in to the atmosphere...

...that it would block out the sun.

It would cause a winter that would last for years.

And all the animals and trees would die.

That's what the old Spellbinders must have done.

They were arrogant fools. Like Ashka.

And Ashka already knows how to turn fireworks into bombs.

Then she must not be allowed to learn the secret of making gunpowder.

We must find a way of sending you home.

Great!

We have to get to the Summoning Tower at Clayhill. That's where I arrived.

Put it back, Gryvon! Put it back!

Riana!

Riana!

Let me go, Riana!

Homer's "Iliad" is full of suffering and pain.

Young men die, women and children loose husbands and fathers.

But the Gods, exempt from pain, look on.

I'm suffering, alright. He's the pain.

Let's start with something simple.

What setting did Homer chose for his great human tragedy?

Skye?

The war between the Trojans and the Greeks.

Come on the Greeks!

You're not supposed to be Greek, Nathan.

Well, since you've decided to pick sides, Nathan...

...you can begin reading from the start of Book One.

'Sing, goddess, of the anger of Achilleus, son of Peleus...

...the accursed anger which brought uncounted anguish... angui... anguish...

...anguish on the Achaians... on the Achaians.'

Um, Nathan wasn't feeling too well on the bus, sir.

He suffers from car sickness.

- I'll take him to the toilet. - Yes. Yes. Do.

Settle down, settle down!

Skye, perhaps you can continue.

- Thanks. - Let's go up to the cave now.

Careful! Step gently, boy!

- Keep still! - I can't!

You are too heavy!

Wait!

I think I can reach!

Hello, young men!

Need some help?

Yes, Ashka?

I was expecting to meet Regent Correon.

Correon left the castle this morning.

It's very odd. He hasn't been outside the castle in years.

You may await for him here.

So what are we looking for?

I don't know. But let's go through what happened.

Paul was standing here when he disappeared.

The power surge came down the cable from there.

Yeah.

And this whole area is surrounded by magnetic rock.

Yeah. So?

I don't know!

Great!

Marna, Lukan...

This is Correon.

I've found the boy.

Good! Bring him back to the castle.

No!

I am sending him back to his world.

His knowledge is too dangerous for us.

When you see what I have found, you will understand why.

- We demand that you bring him back. - Regents, it's Gryvon! They're at...!

Regents.

I think I know where Correon and the boy are.

Let me bring them back.

Go on.

Yes!

- Alex, I'm trying to think. - Look, my team's in the semis here!

Turn it off.

If they win, they're into Grand Finals...

- Alex! - Tip it here, Katrina!

...report any sighting of Regent Correon travelling with a boy called Paul.

Did she say "Paul"?

The boy is about 15 years with dark hair and speaks with a strange voice.

It is Paul!

The sightings are to be reported to the Spellbinders immediately.

- What's a Spellbinder? - Who cares?

They use radios!

Paul is in a parallel world and we can prove it exists.

Well, if we can hear them, maybe they can hear us.

- If we had a radio transmitter... - Where are we gonna get a transmitter?

They had walkie-talkies last time we're at the camp.

I don't know why people say you're stupid.

Who says I'm stupid?

Come on. Let's get back to the camp before they realise we're missing.

Who says I'm stupid?

Ashka! Help me! I'm here.

Ashka has tracked my Eyestone. She'll find us.

- Can't you turn it off? - No!

We have to get rid of it. Give it to me and I'll lead her away from you.

Don't be ridiculous. You are the one she's after.

Give it to me!

Clever girl!

If there's a radio in the camp, it'll be in here.

Did you bring the book?

Start reading. If anyone comes in, we're just studying for tomorrow.

'Agamemnon stabbed him in the forehead with his sharp spear...

...and it went through the bone and all his brains were splattered inside.'

Gross! Hey, this is really good stuff!

I think it's stupid. All those men killing each other over a girl.

Yeah well, you don't have to worry: no man's ever going to war over you.

Sorry. Any luck?

No. Keep reading.

'Agamemnon...

...slashed off his arms and his head and rolled him down the hill like a log!'

- Eureka! - Oh, you're genius!

- It doesn't work so. - Um...

Now it will.

Let's go up to the cave now and try it out!

What are you two doing here?

We're preparing... for tomorrow's class, sir.

I was quite explicit about the rules for this camp.

Boys and girls are not to fraternise after dark!

We weren't fraternising, sir. We were reading. "The Iliad".

I'm sorry, I will have to inform your parents tomorrow.

- Nathan, isn't it? - Yes, sir, Nathan Jones.

And Deanna McDougall?

I'm very disappointed in you both.

Come on, Deanna, I'll escort you back to the dormitory.

Nathan, I'll expect you in bed by the time I get back.

What if Correon can't find a way to get you home?

I don't wanna think about it.

What?

- I'm hungry. - So are we!

And if you don't behave yourself, we might think about eating you, Gryvon!

Paul!

Correon! Correon, look! Look!

Ashka knows we're down here.

They can't land here. But they'll send their men to find us.

We have to go.

We're not far from Clayhill.

- Our Healer could help him. - We have to get to the Summoning Tower.

Why don't you leave me here? I'm only slowing you down.

Shut up!

Paul, he is not well.

Alright.

The Summoner asked after Riana again today.

- What did you tell him? - Just what you told me.

That she went hunting.

But she's been gone four days. What if she's had an accident?

It's alright! I haven't!

Riana!

We've been worried sick.

Where have you been?

- To the Spellbinders' castle. - What?

Hello, Maran, Bron.

Spellbinder! My daughter is a good girl.

- She can be wild and stubborn but... - Apparently she learnt it from her mother.

Don't be afraid. I am in your daughter's debt.

He needs the Healer. I'll get her.

Bring him to the fire.

These herbs are powerful. I feel better already.

Drink some of these now and the rest - tomorrow morning.

Can you do magic?

I am a Spellbinder. Of course I can do magic.

Watch.

Jumping stones!

Take them.

They will bring you good luck.

Release me!

Release me, or I'll make sure Riana is banished!

- Where is Paul? - I don't know.

He and Riana left early with Regent Correon.

So why didn't the Greeks just pack up and go home?

Because they're Greek.

No, I'm serious. I mean the Greeks were very proud warriors.

They had to stay at Troy for their honour.

Very good, Nathan. Pride and honour are at the crux of this story.

And, of course...

...the Greeks would never give up a beautiful girl without a fight.

Um, excuse me, sir. Can I, please, be excused for one minute?

Well, make it quick, Nathan. We all value your comments.

Now run-turn to page 43.

Couldn't this wait till after class? I was doing really well.

We're here to find Paul.

Yeah, I know. But I stayed up all night reading.

I've never finished a book before. It's fun.

Well, I'm glad you had fun.

I was standing outside your dormitory for half the night waiting for you to come out.

Yeah, I couldn't. Byrne was sleeping outside my door.

Why didn't you go up to the cave on your own?

'Cause you had the battery.

Oh, right.

This is where I came through.

In my world, electricity jumped from the power lines and came down the cable.

There was a huge flash.

And when I could see again, I was standing here.

There was energy sparking between the top of the Tower and here.

And after I knocked the Eyestone down...

...the doorway, or whatever it was, closed. Vanished.

I think that when the Summoner used his Eyestone...

...the energy from this world must have connected with the energy in yours.

That's what opened the doorway to your world.

Let's see if we can make it happen again.

But I smashed your Eyestone.

Oh, don't give up, Paul. I may not need one.

Stand by the pedestal. Riana, stand back.

I hope it works, Paul.

Correon, it won't work without the cable in my world.

I'll try increasing the power flow.

Paul, you'd better move away.

It's working!

Alex! Look!

Katrina, be careful!

There's someone there!

Paul?

There's people there!

Hello!

- I can't maintain the power flow! - But it's nearly open!

- What's happening? - I dunno.

Is anybody there? Paul, can you hear me?

Maybe it's on the wrong frequency?

Can anybody hear me? Hello! Paul!

Correon?

I'll go back to Clayhill and get help.

Hello, Paul!

Please! I just wanna go home!

Get away from him!

Put those down!

Riana, don't be stupid!

You dare to disobey me?

Leave him alone!

Father, you must report it to the other Regents.

I'm sorry, Regent Correon.

Riana, fetch my horse!

- We can't leave now. - We have to go.

It won't take Ashka long to guess where we are.

Don't try to follow us!

And don't worry. I will find a way to get you home.

Talk to me, please!

Give me that!

This is Big Daddy Alex calling all hot doggers in the parallel world.

Do you copy?

Come in, dudes, this is Big Al talking at ya. All he's on ready to receive.

Who is this?

We're looking for Paul Reynolds.

- Who are you? - I am the Spellbinder Ashka.

How are you able to speak through the Eyestone?

- Well, I... - Well, well!

Deanna and Nathan together again.

I repeat, who is this?

Whoever you are, this conversation's over.

Oh please, Mr. Byrne! We're looking for a missing friend.

We've made contact with a parallel world!

I've had enough of your lies! I've just been on the phone.

The real Deanna and Nathan are still at home.

You two are in a lot of trouble!

There is another Summoning Tower just ahead.

We'll wait for the local Summoner.

I'll use his Eyestone to contact the Regents.

Well, they didn't help us before. Why should they now?

Very well when I show them this.

What's all this stuff doing here?

I don't know.

Marauders!
