Original subtitles

I've been thinking and I reckon...

...the only sure way to stop Ashka is to tell my Dad about what's going on.

What if he doesn't believe you?

Then we'll call up Correon and get him to open the doorway.

Dad can't argue with that!

Dad!

Aren't you supposed to be at school?

- I know, but you see... - Well, never mind about that.

Come upstairs! I want you to meet somebody.

Paul, this is Anna Harley.

Anna!

Hello, Paul!

Episode 24 'A SPELLBINDER IN THE HOUSE'

I'm so glad to meet you at last!

I told you she was nice.

Thank you, Brian!

You're gonna be seeing quite a lot of Anna. She and I are going to be working together.

Dad, she's lying!

Her name isn't Anna. It's Ashka! She's a Spellbinder from the parallel world!

Paul!

Dad! You have to get rid of her. She's evil!

I'm terribly sorry about this, Anna. Would you excuse us for one moment?

What has got into you?

I thought all this nonsense about parallel worlds was over.

It's not nonsense! Ashka's a Spellbinder!

Paul, stop it!

Mrs. Harley is an archaeologist. She's very nice. Christine thinks so too.

Don't let her near Christine! She's dangerous!

Paul, sit down! Sit down!

Mrs. Harley is from Iceland, that is why she speaks strangely.

- She's lying! - Let me finish.

Anna came to me for help.

She's found this ancient book with details of an extraordinary technology.

Designs for these...

- ...incredible power suits. - Dad!

- She even had a stone. A powerstone. - Dad, that's Spellbinder technology!

- All the Spellbinders wear power suits! - Will you stop that?

It's true!

Now she wants you to build a more powerful suit...

...so she can go back and rule Riana's world!

Why are you doing this, Paul? Are you jealous of Anna?

I'm not trying to find someone to replace your mother.

This has got nothing to do with Mum! Now please, will you stop working with her?

If our research succeeds, the world could undergo a technological revolution!

This could be the key to a cheap, non-polluting energy source!

I will not have you scaring Anna off!

If you won't get rid of her, I will!

Get outta this house or I'll call the police! I know you robbed that security van!

They'll trace the money and you'll go to gaol!

Paul, stop it! Anna, I am terribly sorry!

It's alright, Brian.

If Paul doesn't want me here, I'll go.

Wait. Look, why don't we go back to the lab?

That might give Paul time to calm down!

If you're sure. I don't want to bring trouble to you and your family.

No-no. I'll catch up on you downstairs.

- Dad! She's just using you... - That's enough, Paul!

Now, you stay here and look after Christine! And don't say anything about this to her!

I don't want her upset!

We'll talk about this when I get home.

Christine, are you awake?

- I am now. Why? - I have to go out.

- Are you feeling okay? - I think so.

Why do you have to go? I'm scared on my own.

You'll be alright. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Anna is nice, isn't she?

I think Dad likes her too.

Maybe they'll fall in love and get married.

I wouldn't count on it.

Riana!

- I found Ashka! - Where?

At my house! She's using my Dad to help build her a new power suit!

- Didn't you tell him she's a Spellbinder? - I tried but he won't listen!

I don't know how to make him believe in your world!

The video-camera!

I brought it back with me! I recorded Ashka telling Gryvon her plan.

Where is it?

In your bedroom cupboard! I'm sorry I forgot all about it.

We'll take it straight to Dad's work!

Once he sees that and meets you, he'll have to believe me!

Christine must be asleep. We'll try around the back.

Christine!

Why don't we climb in through there?

Riana, this is my house. Stay here. I don't want Christine to see you.

Why?

Because she doesn't know Ashka's a Spellbinder. I don't wanna frighten her.

A-ah!

- Help! Burglars! Help! - Christine, it's me!

- Sorry! - Why did you lock me out?

I was scared. I heard noises. I thought you were a burglar.

What are you looking for?

Yes!

Where did you get that from?

It's Alex's. I'm going to see Dad. Don't let anyone in except me. Promise?

- Promise. Why? - I'll tell you later.

The guard knows me but he won't let you in.

Can't we just climb over the gate?

This isn't like getting into the Spellbinders' castle!

They've got security cameras all over the place.

Listen. I'll distract the guard and you'd hop in the back of that car.

Hi, Ted!

- Hi, Paul! Here to see your Dad? - Yeah! Oh, it's hot, isn't it?

Weather report says it'll be hotter tomorrow.

- Are you alright? - Yeah, I think so.

I just went all dizzy. It must have been the heat.

I'm okay now. I'm sorry.

The boy's gonna see his father. Can you give him a lift to the entrance?

No worries. Come on, son!

Here you go. Just don't stay out in the sun so much. Okay?

- Thanks! Sorry about the scare. - No problem.

Now all we have to do is to figure out how to get you inside.

I've got an idea! Come on!

This way!

This is the flight control unit.

It regulates the direction and polarity of the suit's magnetic field.

Well, just press this pad for up and this one for down.

Don't try and go sideways. We'll save that until we know it works.

Energise the suit now.

Increase the power. Slowly.

Are you ready?

Activate the flight control.

- Yes! It works! - Oh Brian! This is wonderful!

Don't push it too far!

Turn it off!

- Are you alright? - Yes.

What went wrong?

The circuitry overloaded. Burnt itself out.

- Don't worry: I can redesign it. - I'm sure you can.

You have already done more than I ever could have hoped for!

I can fly!

Now the other Spellbinders won't have a chance against Ashka!

Don't worry. Once my Dad sees the tape, Ashka will be history.

Now we can't take any chances while she's wearing the suit.

Stay here until I call you.

Dad!

I told you to stay at home.

You're supposed to be looking after your sister.

I came to apologise. Mrs. Harley, I'm sorry about how I behaved.

I don't know what I was thinking. It won't happen again.

Well, I'm glad that's sorted out.

Dad.

- Can I ask you about something? - Ask away.

It's a bit embarrassing. It's about a girl.

- Can we go to your office? - Er... Sure.

Would you've excuse us for a moment, Anna? It's...

...time for a little farther-and-son chat.

Now, Paul, there's no need to feel embarrassed.

Maybe you're felling confused.

And those may... I mean... I've been confused once or twice.

But remember: girls are people too, you know.

Okay, son. What's on your mind? You can ask me anything you like.

I can prove Ashka comes from the parallel world!

Oh Paul!

She's on the tape explaining her plan. Riana videoed her.

Riana! Your imaginary girlfriend from the parallel world!

She's not imaginary! She's outside!

- With Superman, I suppose? - Look, just look at the tape.

If this doesn't convince you, I swear I'll never mention any of this stuff again.

Okay?

- This is very enlightening. - It's a bit further on.

I haven't got all day, you know.

It's just a little further.

There!

There she is!

I can't see anything. Your tape must be faulty.

No, it's Ashka. She's using the suit to interfere with it!

- Paul, sit down. I'm gonna call a doctor. - I don't need a doctor! Riana!

Wait a minute!

- Dad! Dad, you've gotta believe me! - Paul, sit down and I will listen to you.

Alright.

- Riana! - Paul!

Riana was in this box!

Paul!

Anna?

Her name's Ashka and she's not here! And she took the power suit!

If you've made her take this discovery to another lab...

Dad! She's got Riana!

Paul! Pull yourself together!

Riana!

Paul!

Close the gate!

- Stop her! - Paul!

She's got Riana in the car! I saw her!

What's all the fuss about, Dr. Reynolds?

Ted. Look, did you see my son arrive today with a girl? Now, think carefully.

No. He was on his own.

It's because I distracted his attention.

He did seem to be a bit unwell.

Thanks, Ted.

Look, Paul.

I think you might still be suffering some of the after-effects of being lost in the bush.

- And the mind can play funny tricks. - No! Ashka's kidnapped Riana!

You have to call the police!

Look, what I'm going to do is take you home and then I'm gonna call a doctor.

Okay?

- I should have stopped Riana from going. - It's not your fault.

Your sister has a wild heart!

I should have been stricter with her when she was young.

You tried that once, remember? She put ants in your boots.

Your feet were swelling for days!

It's the Regent!

I came as soon as I got Bron's message. Have you found Riana?

Come on, girl!

Lift your feet!

Where am I?

Where no-one will ever find you.

Don't cause any trouble, or Paul and his family will suffer!

- Why would I be lying about all this? - I don't think you're lying.

I think you believe what you're saying. But what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

Now I don't want you upsetting your sister about any of this.

- So you think I'm crazy? - What's going on?

Nothing, sweetheart. How are you feeling?

Dad! Dad, you have to go back and look at the videotape!

Paul, please!

Yes? Oh Anna!

Ask her where Riana is!

Um, where are you? Why did you leave in such a hurry?

I thought you needed some time with Paul.

I hope you aren't angry with me?

Of course not!

When can we start work again?

Well, you could bring the suit over here. I've got everything...

...I need to fix the flight control unit.

Good! I'll bring dinner.

Sounds great! I'll see you soon.

No! No, you can't let her back into the house! Please!

- What's going on? - Paul, would you go and lie down? Now!

Why don't you ask her about her driver's licence? Or her credit cards?

I'll bet she doesn't have any! She doesn't even know what they are!

- Go on, just ask her! - Dr. Marsden, please. It's Brian Reynolds.

Yes, I'd like to speak to him about my son.

Paul!

Paul!

- You're looking for Alex, he's not home. - I have to see him. Where is he?

Sorry, man. He went to work with Pop. He's got some detector thing.

He reckoned the old man can get an electro-moronic radiation!

How can the electro-magnets affect me? I'm not made of metal.

Their magnetic field affects your brain!

And if it's too strong, it could make you stupid!

Your mother would say it's too late!

Turn the magnet back on. I'll just test the field strength up here.

Dad, I'll be back in a second.

I've just gotta go and test the magnetic waves on the ground.

Paul! What are you doing here?

Ashka's getting my Dad to build her a new power suit!

What?

I think he's falling in love with her. And she's kidnapped Riana!

Riana?

Riana's gone home. You don't make any sense.

Alex, please!

I need your help! We have to find Riana and rescue her!

Paul, the adventure is over. Just let it go.

- You've gotta get back to normal. - Listen, I'm not making this up!

Hey! Paul, this is a highly restricted area.

I had to get special permission for Alex to be here.

Alex! Please! Come with me!

Sorry, man. I'm busy.

Coming.

Hello, Christine!

Dad, Anna's here!

Pepperoni pizzas and chocolate chip ice-cream!

Yeah, thanks!

Hi, Anna! Thanks for coming!

- Oh, you look lovely! - Thank you, Brian!

Let's eat!

Is... Paul here?

- Where's your proof? - Tell me why would I make this up?

Because you're jealous of Alex spending so much time with me!

- Don't be stupid! - Katrina! Who are you talking to?

No-one, Mum!

...if this works, cars will become obsolete overnight.

No-one will want to drive when they can fly.

The oil companies are gonna scream blue murder.

You're going to be rich beyond belief.

No, Brian. We are going to be rich.

I couldn't have done this without you.

Where have you been? What's that?

- Just move! - Paul!

- Give that to me! Give it back! - Let me go!

- Dad! Dad! - You're not getting it!

What is going on? Paul! Will you just stop that?

- What have you done with Riana? - I don't know what you're talking about.

- You're a liar! - Paul!

Don't fight!

- Look, you frightened your sister! - Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

Help!

Help me!

Help!

What do you want?

Your cooperation.

Drop dead, Ashka.

I just want the power suit finished.

Then I'll take it back to my world and you'll never see me again.

- What about Riana? - She's quite safe.

Whether she remains that way depends on you.

The same goes for your father and your sister.

Don't cross me again, Paul.

Oh Anna!

What are you doing in here?

Oh, I heard something and came to see what it was.

Paul was having a nightmare.

But you're alright now.

Aren't you, Paul?

Yeah.

I enjoyed our little chat.

G'night, Paul.
