Hey, kids, you're listening to Bremin FM,

bringing you that afternoon pick-me-up.

Coming up now is last year's number one smash hit,

You Can't Bring Me Down,

so turn it up loud.

Bags last packet of beef jerky.

You're really into those processed foods, aren't you?

(INHALES DEEPLY) Mmm.

Eugh, that's disgusting.

No, that's typical.

Meaty goodness.

You haven't paid for those yet!

They'll be 9.80.

Do you guys have any money?

No.

(ZAPPING)

- Hey! - Who turned out the lights?

It must be a blackout.

It's showtime!

Why do you always do that?

Hey, where did he go?

Stuff's missing from the shelves.

Come on, guys, let's go.

(URGENTLY) Let's go.

What the hell is going on?

What happened to this car?

- Uh...guys... - (THUNDER RUMBLES)

There's nobody in there.

Where is everybody?

Mum, where's the cereal bowls?

Uh, try the box labelled 'bowls'.

Dad packed it, so good luck with that.

Ah, bowls, plates, cups.

Books. Nice packing, Brad.

Maybe the one marked 'books'.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Hey, quick game before school?

- GoGy Boy 5? - It was the first one I unpacked.

Brad, we've gotta be out the door in two minutes.

Look, you know the rules - no games before school.

Yes, I know.

How do I look?

Great.

She's "amazing vice principal" to me.

Acting vice principal.

Keys... Keys... Where's my keys?

New house, new spot.

(SIGHS)

Thank you.

Alright, let's go.

Wait up.

I didn't have time to make you lunch so...

Lolly snacks?

Really? You fell for that?

Brad!

Thanks, Brad.

Hey, don't worry, I didn't forget you.

Thanks, babe. OK, that one?

Yeah. OK. Keep unpacking, please.

Have a good day.

(SIGHS) So, how are you feeling?

- You ready for this? - Mum, don't sweat it.

I'm an old hand at being the new kid.

(LAUGHS)

Which one's that? Zombies or aliens?

Zombie aliens. Uh-huh.

Wait, alien zombies.

Well, remember, no calling me "Mum" in the hallway.

Yes, Vice Principal.

Oh, wait - Ms Jarrah.

I wouldn't want to get teased on my first day, now.

- You got everything? - I've got everything.

- Mum? - Yeah?

(SCOFFS)

(DOOR LOCK CHIRPS)

- Meet you back here after school? - Yes.

What?

- Shh. - (CHICKENS CACKLE)

GIRL: Watch out!

Thanks for the heads up.

Welcome to Bremin High, Luke.

GIRL: Who's that?

GIRL: Hey. New kid.

- We better get it. - They keep falling off.

- Just put it there. - Here will do.

- (BOTH LAUGH) - That's much better.

I'm so glad you could fill in, Sonia.

You're a lifesaver. Aww...

Luke, you remember Principal Bates?

Ah, yes, Luke, nice to meet you again.

Are you getting your bearings?

Yes. I'm used to it.

I'm sort of like a human Google Map.

(CHUCKLES)

Ah, Ben, over here.

Ben can show you around.

Oh, sir, it's fine. I can find my own way around.

Luke. Don't worry - I'm his go-to guy.

I'll leave you to it.

Did you skip a grade?

N...no.

I did.

I mean, I'd skip another one

but they said it would be bad for my social interactions.

Um...OK.

Ben, take it down a notch, remember?

No-one likes a show-off.

Take this to the library and they'll set you up with an e-mail address

and get you on the intranet.

Enjoy your first day.

I'm sure it won't be long before you fall in love with the place.

Any second now.

(LAUGHS)

Groovy.

He thinks he's so cool.

Seems OK to me.

He'll pretend to be a friend but he won't actually mean it.

You're from the city, right? Yeah.

I'm not too sure my body knows what fresh air is.

Oh, I bet your old school had everything -

3-D printers, a gifted students' annex.

Not really.

It had a lot of graffitied lockers and I never left my bag unattended.

Hey.

(LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY)

Friends of yours? Neanderthals.

Every school has them.

Brooklyn, it was you -

you covered up my poster with your face!

What poster?

'Lost In The Forest' - The Story of the Bremin Four,

a Jesse Banda musical.

Never heard of it. Come on! You auditioned.

Did I?

My ears are still bleeding.

Well, there clearly wasn't enough room on the noticeboard.

My musical opens in six weeks and I...

Dude! Who cares?! They came back.

Really?

Then how would you explain the search party

finding no sign of them?

Or that they didn't look dirty or hungry or ungroomed, for...

Jess, it's not the time for conspiracy theories.

Um, they ate berries and washed in the river - there's no mystery.

Finally! Someone who's not an idiot!

Yeah, well, I did get 100% on 96.4% of my tests this year.

(ALL LAUGH)

(BELL RINGS)

Oh, and this is Ellen O'Donnell, our student teacher.

Do you need some help? No, thanks.

I'm good. Ellen was a pupil here.

It's always a good sign to see a student return to their alma mater.

It's ironic, seeing as a teenager I couldn't stand teenagers.

(LAUGHS) It gets that way some days.

Anyway, I better... Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Good.

Uh, well, there's some more paperwork to do

and then I'll get you to meet the rest of the staff.

OK.

(MUFFLED CHICKENS CACKLING)

Is that...?

Sorry for the late start, everybody.

(CHATTER)

Hello?

(BANG!)

You...do not...

..want...to mess...

..with me.

Understood?

Niccolina, you're late.

Sorry, Miss O'Donnell.

May I interrupt for a moment?

(CHUCKLING)

I'm sure you all think this is pretty funny.

Sorry, what's pretty funny, Mr Bates?

Chickens...in my office.

(LAUGHTER)

Were they free range, sir?

Ha-ha. Very amusing, Heath.

What isn't amusing though is the mess they've made of my desk.

That much is certain.

So if the culprit would just own up now,

and they can clean up the mess and then we can all get on with the day.

Ben.

Um, you have a chicken feather on your shoulder, sir.

(LAUGHTER)

And there's one in your hair, too.

Yes, thank you, Ben.

And I'm actually allergic to chicken feathers, um, and eggs.

(LAUGHTER)

Look, Ben...

..I know you need the attention but right now is not the time.

(CLASS MOANS)

Luke, can I see you out in the hall for a moment?

Right, Luke.

Whoever did this got in before school started.

I know you were here early with your mother.

It wasn't me, I promise. I didn't do it.

No, I didn't say you did.

I understand no-one wants to be a snitch.

I didn't see anything.

Right.

OK, go back in.

(THUNDER CRACKS)

(KNOCKS) Miss O'Donnell.

Which one of you is Heath?

Stand up, please.

- What for? - Now.

Now, I know I'm new here but, as a new principal,

I will not tolerate this behaviour.

My office is out of bounds, especially to fowl.

S-Sorry, what?

Heath, don't talk back to Principal Jarrah.

Principal who?

Where's Principal Bates?

If you keep going this way, I'll put you in detention.

Hands up if you want to know where Bates is.

Fine, you have after-school detention today.

But you can't prove I did anything.

- And tomorrow. - Great, you're doing me a favour.

You want to make it three days in a row?

Heath!

This is not how I imagined my tenure to start - believe me.

I want my office spotless by lunchtime,

and I'll be calling your parents to discuss your behaviour.

Yeah, but you're not the Principal...

I'd stop now, if I were you.

Let's go.

Alright, everybody back to revision.

Hey!

You remember Bates, right?

- Who? - Principal Bates.

He was in the classroom this morning,

telling us off about the chickens.

No, that was the totally scary Ms Jarrah.

Isn't she your mum?

Yeah, but...she's the vice principal, not THE principal.

You're a really strange guy.

How was your day, sweetie?

It was very weird, actually.

- Weird? - Since when are you principal?

Since I started this morning.

- What's gotten into you? - What happened to Principal Bates?

Principal who?

You were there this morning...

..and you gave me this.

I don't know whose signature that is.

Should I be worried about you?

No... I'm...I'm fine. I must have just been confused.

Just forget about it.

(OWL HOOTS)

OK, look, I know how it sounds, but I'm not making this up.

Trust me, if I was going to make something up,

it would not be about Bates.

(COMPUTER CHIMING)

Oh, that's Mum and Dad. Good, I need to talk.

No, no, no. No.

You are not going to tell them

that you think your principal has been kidnapped.

Not kidnapped...

Disappeared.

Hi, guys. Hi.

Hey. How's Singapore?

Hi, Jess. What's happening?

Nothing.

Everything's great, Mum.

(DOG BARKS)

WOMAN: Maybe if you were around more than one weekend a month.

MAN: It's not fair to blame me for all of Heath's problems.

What's not fair is me being responsible for everything.

- Heathie Boy. - Dad.

- It's good to see you. - What are you doing here?

Hey, mate.

The principal called.

Which one? What?

Well, there are two.

They both hate me, so that's reassuring.

RU?

Ruthenium.

RH.

Rhodium.

Hey...

What's the name of that movie where everyone started disappearing?

Maybe you're doing too many sit-ups, not enough oxygen to your brain.

Ha-ha.

Kayla, can you set the table, please?

Why can't Nicco do it?

Kayla, do as you're told.

Yes, Yiayia.

Co is cobalt.

Cu is copper.

Zn... Zn...

Zinc. Zn - zinc.

Hey!

You can't kick it from back here.

Oh, um, sorry, uh, there's this test...

Your evenings are your study time.

Mornings belong to me.

I-I know, but I really...

There's no buts. Do you want to win the Interschool State final?

Yeah... Well, get out there.

Come on!

You! We need to talk.

Look, I didn't dob you win, I swear.

What? About the chickens.

I'm not a dobber. I don't care about the chickens.

What happened with Bates in the hallway?

I have no idea. He was fine when I left.

Yeah, but everyone else has forgotten him.

I mean, it's so weird.

It doesn't make sense.

It's like he's been abducted

and everyone else has had their memories wiped,

but human beings don't have that type of technology so my bet...

..is aliens.

Yes, aliens! Why didn't I think of that?

Whatever happened, it didn't work on everyone.

What do you mean?

There is someone else who remembers Bates.

Hey, I got you a doughnut.

I've got to go, OK? Sorry.

Jesse.

Um, hi.

You remember Bates?

Huh?

I saw you raise your hand in class.

I thought maybe I was losing it.

No, it's everyone else who's gone...

..blank.

Clear your desks, please. This is a closed book test.

The test will begin in exactly one minute.

It will count towards your final grade.

Look at this. (LAUGHS)

Brooklyn, last warning, or I will confiscate it.

You can't do that, Miss.

She'd totally die if she couldn't take a selfie,

like, every 15 minutes.

Not listening.

Alright, everybody, turn over your papers and begin.

So if this is an alien abduction, we really should report it to someone.

You've lost it.

What? Come on.

You can still have it, by the way.

Oh, sorry. Um, thanks.

You're welcome.

Oh, new guy.

- Watch this. - What?

So, you probably haven't seen any of the cool places in Bremin yet.

Are there any?

Oh, wait, I mean, I'm sure there are.

Best place in Bremin is the You Are Now Leaving Bremin sign.

I could show you Little Gino's.

Here we go.

If you don't want to, that's fine.

No, that...that'd be great.

I'd love that. Oh, brilliant.

For the website. Say "Brooklyn for SRC."

Oh, hey.

Hey, Ben, could you move a little?

Yep.

Big step to the left, Ben, come on.

Thanks. Alright, go.

BOTH: Brooklyn for SRC.

- Louder. - BOTH: (LOUDER) Brooklyn for SRC.

School rules on phones are pretty clear.

Sorry, Ms Jarrah.

That's an automatic detention, all three of you.

Luke, we'll talk at home.

Your mum is way strict.

See you in detention.

Did you just ask that new guy out on a date?

Did you see his face? (LAUGHS)

(ZAPPING)

(BELL CHIMES)

Nice of you to join us, Luke.

Sorry, Miss.

Jesse.

- What did you do? - Apparently gym class isn't optional.

She never gets detention.

Maybe she thinks it's a study group.

Guys, what are we going to do about Bates?

What can we do?

We're the only ones that remember him.

Right, looks like we're all here.

Including me, unfortunately.

So no more talking.

You can read, do your homework or just sit there, I don't care.

- Yes, Heath. - Uh, what about Brooklyn?

She got detention, too.

- Who? - Brooklyn.

Brooklyn, the city?

Brooklyn, the girl.

She's in our science class.

First, I don't know anyone named Brooklyn.

Second, Brooklyn's a stupid name for a girl.

Third, Brooklyn's a stupid name for a girl.

Guys...

Wasn't that Brooklyn?

We should check Brooklyn's locker.

Well, this is her locker.

But this is definitely not her stuff.

Unless she has freakishly large feet.

Oh, Peter's. Try Peter's.

OK, they changed lockers.

That's all.

- Right? - No.

It was covered in all her Brooklyn-ey stuff.

Did they have any time to change?

Guys...

Where's she gone?

She was in all the photos.

She had a pink dress on, not a floral dress.

Since when did you start judging on Project Runway?

Yeah, that dress is...eugh.

Brooklyn's gone...

..just like Bates.

This is just like the Bremin Four all over again.

It's nothing like that.

They were lost.

Yeah, in a forest, not in the school.

Why don't you go kick a ball or something?

When those boys disappeared it was news cameras and search parties...

Look, no-one even knows they're gone except us.

- Exactly. - You know what?

At first I thought this was like Roswell -

a government conspiracy with secret alien experiments -

but now I think it's mind control.

It explains everything.

(SIGHS) We need to tell the police.

Tell them what, exactly?

No-one remembers Brooklyn, Peter or Bates.

It just doesn't make sense that we still do.

Really? That's what doesn't make sense to you?

Alright, I've got it.

Maybe we're immune somehow.

- What do we have in common? - ALL: Nothing.

Come on, there has to be a reason.

Oh, bags the last packet of beef jerky.

Yuck.

You're really into those processed foods, aren't you?

(INHALES DEEPLY) Mmm.

You know, that's disgusting.

No, that's typical.

Meaty goodness.

You haven't paid for those yet!

They'll be 9.80.

Do you guys have any money?

No.

(ZAPPING)

Hey! Who turned out the lights?

It must be a blackout.

It's showtime!

Why do you always do that?

Hey, where did he go?

Stuff's missing from the shelves.

Come on, guys, let's go.

Let's go!

What the hell is going on?

What happened to this car?

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Uh, guys...

(THUNDER CRACKS)

There's nobody in there.

Where is everybody?!

(THUNDER CRACKS)

What was that? What is going on?!

It's like everyone has just...

Disappeared.

Can we stick together? I can't be around you people.

Where are you going? I guess we're not sticking together.

Jesse's house is for sale?

Come on.

My sister should be here.

Everything's gone!

Yiayia.

Let's just hope there's someone out there to see this fine work.

Why is everything different except us?

That is not a garden variety storm.

- Arggh! - Luke!

- Help me! - Luke!

Shh! Welcome to Bremin High, Luke.

You remember Principal Bates?

Now, I know I'm new here,

but as the new principal I will not tolerate this behaviour.

BOTH: Brooklyn for SRC!

JESSE: Wasn't that Brooklyn?

No-one remembers Brooklyn, Peter or Bates.

It just doesn't make sense that we still do.

Maybe we're immune somehow.

- What do we have in common? - OTHERS: Nothing.

- (THUNDER CLASHES) - HEATH: Where is everybody?!

(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)

Sync by ButterFox. @ButterFoxBTFX

(STUDENTS CHATTER) (BELL RINGS)

Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour,

Anne of...

..uh, Anne of...

Who was the second Anne?

Who was the second Anne?!

Why can't I remember?

Hello?

Is everything OK in there?

Everything's OK. I'm...I'm fine.

- Niccolina? - I said I'm fine!

Nicco, open the door, please.

Fair warning - if you don't open the door, I'm coming up.

(CLIMBS ON TOILET)

'Fine' doesn't usually include locking yourself in a toilet.

You wouldn't understand.

What wouldn't I understand?

I...I can't remember. OK?

I've read this page a thousand times but it won't stick.

I know you're a straight-A student,

but I think you should be easier on yourself.

Please, just go away.

OK. But I'll be checking on you later.

NICCO: So, there's no-one in the police station.

JESSE: Nothing.

I don't understand.

What is happening?

It's like they've all disappeared.

- No! That doesn't just happen. - Really? Maybe it does.

HEATH: Hey! Guys.

It's the same all over town - nobody anywhere.

There has to be an explanation.

Bushfire evacuation. What, with no smoke?

Mm. A gas leak.

- Ebola outbreak? - Zombie apocalypse.

How did I know you were going to say that?

- I'm calling Mum. - You can't.

There's no service. I've already checked.

(PHONES BEEP)

This is so not good.

This is like Star Trek -

Next Generation, season four, episode five.

Everyone on the Enterprise disappeared without a trace.

- You cannot be serious. - Except Dr Crusher.

It was like none of the crew ever existed.

Give it a rest, fanboy. I'm outta here.

Wait! Can we stick together?

Why?

Well, bad stuff always happens to people

when they don't stick together in these situations.

- These situations?! - Yes!

(SCOFFS) I can't be around you people.

- Where are YOU going?! - To find Mum. She'll be at work.

I guess we're not sticking together. Maybe we can meet up later.

It'll be fine. I'll be fine. I'll live the life I can imagine.

I need to go make sure Quinn's OK.

Wait - I'll come to yours if you come to mine.

Done.

(WIND HOWLS)

What?

This...this doesn't make sense.

Jesse! Wait up!

Jesse.

- You didn't know it was for sale? - Does it look like I knew?

My sister should be here.

Quinn! Quinn!

Where's our stuff?

Everything's gone!

Quinn!

(HEATH CRUNCHES CHIP)

Do you have to creep up on people?

There was no creeping.

There was crunching, but no creeping.

Seriously, we have to find where everyone's gone.

Could you be any more uptight?

You haven't begun to see uptight.

Mum wasn't there.

Alright, I'm not OK about this,

but freaking out about it isn't gonna help.

What do you think's happened?

Evacuation makes the most sense.

Then, it could just be plain abandonment.

No way. My parents wouldn't leave without me.

They'll be waiting for me.

Besides, if it was an evacuation, we would have heard the trucks.

We could go back to yours if you want.

Yeah, OK.

But don't think I need some guy to protect me.

Good. You can protect ME.

Good.

LUKE: (CALLS OUT) Hello?

(WIND HOWLS OUTSIDE)

I don't get it.

Nuh, no power here either.

There's no moving boxes, everything's put away.

This is crazy.

- Well, maybe your dad tidied up. - You don't know my dad.

Mum?! Dad?!

Your place, now this?

Whoa.

- Love your high-concept merchandise. - It's all Dad's.

Why is everything different?

Except us?

NICCO: (CALLS OUT) Kayla? Mum?

Yiayia.

Never picked you as the girlie-girl pink doona type.

This isn't mine.

I should be up here!

It's like I've been edited out of my own life!

- Uh, where are we going? - Your house.

(WIND HOWLS)

Jesse's house is for sale?

- What? - Come on.

(CALLS OUT) Hello?

Mum?

Where are my magazines?

- What about your dad? - Divorced.

Uh...

Hey. You should see this.

We sat right here this morning, before school.

(CRUNCH)

My brekkie is fossilised!

The school - it's the evacuation point for town.

Come on. Someone might be there.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Find it?

I thought we were looking for people.

I thought it would be here.

If I knew what you were looking for, maybe I could help.

How come some things are the same...

..and some aren't?

(WIND HOWLS)

How do you eat that stuff?

Really? A toothbrush? When it's a world of chips and chocolate?

Oral health is important.

You guys, you will not believe what we found.

HEATH: No-one.

Hey.

Was there any sign of Quinn?

Nuh.

Your folks?

How was your place? Same-same, but different.

Pass me a pen.

Is that an IOU for the muesli bar?

Perfect.

This is like Next Gen.

Is there an episode where the main character just shuts up?

Look, Nicco, just hear him out, OK?

Maybe it'll help.

Go. OK.

Everyone Dr Crusher knew stopped existing.

Everything was different except her.

This is like that, only there's four of us.

Like, four, like the Bremin Four - Felix, Jake, Sam and Andy.

What if their disappearance was something like this?

- Are you hearing yourself? - Something...freaky?

- YOU'RE buying this? - Our families are gone.

We have absolutely no idea where. And we don't seem to exist.

But you think there's a logical answer?

I don't think there is, Nicco.

I'm voting for alien abduction.

Fine.

What happens at the end of the episode, hm?

What was the explanation? It was a warp bubble gone wrong.

- A warp bubble?! - Look, I know how it sounds, OK?

- You really are an idiot! - Oh, come on.

- Don't speak to him like that. - You can't tell me what to do.

- Oh, what is your problem?! - YOU are my problem!

- Come on, now, guys, let's just... - BOTH: Oh, just butt out!

- What is the story with you guys? - That's none of your business.

It IS my business, Nicco, if it's just gonna be the four of us.

That's ridiculous. There's more than four of us. There has to be.

Don't bother - there's no talking to her.

- I am not staying here! - Neither am I.

Ugh! "And in the red corner..."

- Can we please stick together? - Why? Nobody wants to.

Maybe we light a bonfire.

Back at school.

And then anyone out there will know where to find us.

Do what you want.

Well, that went well.

(ANIMALS GRUNT)

Whoa. What is that?

Haven't you ever heard koalas fight before?

- That's a koala? - Yeah.

They live in the gums around here.

I guess it's a new experience for you, huh?

Well, you don't often see them in the city cafes.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

(BIRD CALLS)

(ANIMAL SCREECHES IN DISTANCE)

(SCREECH)

Oh! Oh, my...

- It's you. - I'm sorry.

- Did I scare you? - No. It's fine.

There's nothing out there - except really spooky noises.

I heard something too.

- Um, hey, about before... - Don't worry about it.

(WIND WHISTLES)

No, I'm not freaked out.

Yeah, me neither.

This bonfire - want to check it out?

Definitely.

I mean, um, it sounds pretty lame, but...

..yeah. Let me grab your stuff.

Oh, thanks.

(HEATH PLAYS BLUES ON HARMONICA)

Well, let's just hope there's someone out there to see this fine work.

Attracting attention was a good idea.

We made a fire on school grounds.

That's an automatic suspension.

(PLAYS HARMONICA)

Must be hard being a teacher's kid.

Mm, it's OK.

You get used to it.

Move around a lot, though.

Anywhere but here sounds amazing.

Dude, it's not that bad.

- OK, maybe not today. - (OTHERS CHUCKLE)

What about you?

You play football and cricket, you're a hero.

You're a kid like me...

..you get by.

What about friends from the city?

Five schools in four years, it's...

..kind of hard to make friends.

That would suck.

What about you?

What's your deep, dark secret?

Nicco's the one with the secret.

Aren't you, Nicco?

Come on, tell us how the teacher's pet got into trouble.

Yeah. How DID you get that detention?

Yeah, fess up. (CHUCKLES)

Really? You're letting him off the hook that easily?

My deep, dark secret for yours.

What do you say?

There's nothing deep or secret about you.

Ooh. Someone's being a big wuss.

OK. Prove me wrong.

OK, well, before,

you know, when you said your parents wouldn't leave without you...

What?

You think yours would?

Maybe.

They're so caught up in their own stuff.

I don't know.

Too busy arguing.

So...detention mystery.

(CHUCKLES) Nothing big.

She's perfect, remember?

(WIND HOWLS)

Whoa!

HEATH: Uh...

OK.

Maybe we should go inside.

You don't have to ask ME twice.

Come on, come on, come on!

Alright.

Jesse! Hurry up! Hurry!

(WIND HOWLS, TREES RUSTLE)

Goodnight, Luke.

Goodnight, Jesse.

Goodnight, Heath.

Really? We're doing this?

Goodnight, Heath.

(SINGSONG) Goodnight, Jesse.

- Goodnight, Nicco. - Goodnight, Jesse.

(WIND HOWLS OUTSIDE)

Come on! Let's go, let's go.

What even is the time?

We should just go back to sleep.

Nicco, you are way too sunshiny in the morning.

We are going in search of intelligent life.

Hey, couldn't we do this at a more civilised hour, maybe?

What are you wearing, Jesse?

It's my Cookie Monster cardie. Do you like it?

Nicco, what's the plan?

Well, we find an alien spaceship and we join the party.

This guy - hilarious.

It can't only be us. There has to be others.

And we are going to find them, starting with Rochford.

- You want to steal a car? - Not steal - borrow.

The good girl who never breaks the rules - who LIVES for the rules?

Are you gonna leave another IOU?

- Can you drive? - Ultimate Velocity 2.

I thrash my cousins every Christmas holidays.

OK. What about driving a real car?

On an actual road?

OK. Pick a car.

I already have.

Whoa!

I call shotgun.

Are you sure you're gonna need all that?

The keys are here.

Well, if we're trying to get noticed...

(MIMICS DARTH VADER) Luke, I am your father.

What a sweet ride.

And the jacket?

(KEYS JANGLE)

(ENGINE FAILS TO START)

This is the a bit anticlimactic. Come on.

Come on, come on.

It's dead. What about this?

No way.

There's just no-one.

Hey. It's showtime!

Say it loud, say it clear!

Wake up, Bremin! We're still here!

(CAR PULLS UP)

Come on. We can see the whole town from up here.

HEATH: Maybe if you didn't pack so much, Jesse.

Whew!

Hey, Jesse, give me the binoculars.

(CAN RATTLES)

(WIND HOWLS)

Anything?

No.

There's no-one anywhere.

It freaks me out, Bremin being so empty.

Same.

Same.

I can see my house from up here.

Yeah, me too.

(SHAKES SPRAY CAN)

(SPRAYS)

Hey, what's Heath doing?

Do you always carry a spray can?

Relax.

I got it from the art room before we left.

Typical.

We're in trouble and you're, what, painting stupid body parts?

Body parts?

Yeah. You know...

No, I don't know.

I'm in extension maths - I know what guys are like!

"We are here."

Not a body part in sight.

What do you know? He's being useful.

Yeah. Well, he could have said.

Not so good with apologies, huh?

(CHUCKLES)

What?

What?!

Who knew we needed to lock it?

My bag - it's gone!

All my stuff was in it!

You know what this means, right?

Yeah, we're not alone.

Guys, let's get out of here.

Wait - there's no keys.

The distributor cap's gone.

Someone's sabotaged us.

Why would someone do that?

To stop us from leaving.

Guys, can we talk about this somewhere else?

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

That is not a garden-variety storm.

- No kidding. - We need to go.

Let's get back to the school.

We have to make sure the classroom is secure.

We should set up a roster on who's keeping watch.

Gee, you really like being in charge.

- No, I don't. - Yeah, she does.

- Control issues. - Ugh. Jesse!

Niccolina doesn't play well with others.

- That's it. - Wait!

- Nicco. - Again?

That was mean, you guys.

- We should say sorry. - OK, fine.

She'll be in here, for sure.

Nicco! Go away, Jesse!

I'm not coming out. Just leave me alone!

Oh.

I always wondered what it was like in here.

Nicco, I'm sorry.

Leave me alone!

What's with all the angst? Come on. Open up.

- No. - Please?

Come on. I was only joking. (OPENS DOOR)

Well, it's too much, OK?

- What is? - Everything!

Can you be more specific?

Everyone disappearing, someone's after us,

that thing with the sky, and...

..and I cheated!

I'm a cheater.

What? Wait. Sorry. What are you talking about?

You always get straight As.

Used to, but...

..lately, I just can't manage everything.

And that's why detention, OK?

I freaked out. I...I cheated.

And that's why I was in the principal's office.

You were trying to get your test back?

I never thought you had it in you.

It's not funny.

It is a bit. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

(CRASH IN DISTANCE) What was that?

Someone's out there.

Hello?

Anyone there?

Who do you think it was?

This is creepy.

(WIND HOWLS)

Oh... Do not say that's just a breeze.

Let's get out of here.

Ugh.

- (BOOM!) - Whoa!

(WIND WHISTLES)

LUKE: Ugh!

JESSE: Luke! Help me!

Luke! It's got me! It's too strong!

Luke, come on! Grab my hand.

Grab my hand. Run. Run!

Come on! Quick!

What is that?!

(WHOOSH)

(WHOOSH)

(WHOOSH)

- (WHOOSH) - Uh...wha...? Wha...?

(WHOOSH)

You guys all saw that, right?

What WAS that?

(QUIET SIZZLING)

Check this out.

Weird carpet burn.

What could have done that?

(CLICK!)

And what does it want with us?

That spooky stuff we saw yesterday.

I can tell Heath's not scared

by the way he wasn't freaked at all yesterday.

I know this place.

Guys, looks like a diary.

"Freak storm batters Bremin."

We'd remember if this stuff had happened.

If it had happened in our world.

It looks like everyone's disappeared.

But what if WE are the ones who disappeared?

Luke, stop. Stop!

No, I saw someone!

- Who are you? - Gotcha.

-What is going on? -It's like everyone has just disappeared.

It can't only be us. There has to be others.

We're going to find them, starting with Rochford.

My bag, it's gone!

You know what this means, right?

-Yeah, we're not alone. -Someone sabotaged us.

That is not a garden-variety storm.

-It's too strong! -Luke, come on!

Grab my hand! Grab my hand! Grab my hand!

Run, run!

You guys all saw that, right?

OK. You ready?

(MUSIC PLAYS)

? You

? Can't bring me down

? You

? Won't beat us, take our ground

? No, you... ? Oh, sorry!

Oh, no! Sorry!

You were supposed to go behind me!

No, you were supposed to go behind me!

(LAUGHS) No!

Maybe we could make, like, a bloopers reel.

No need. It's nothing but bloopers.

Hey, Nicco! It's five o'clock!

-Oh, I totally forgot. -What?

Um, sorry, Jessie. I'm trying out for that football club today.

-We're supposed to be there at 5:30. -One more take. We've nearly got it.

-Come on! -I can't. I'm late.

Well, what about tomorrow?

I have maths tutoring, and then the day after I have piano.

-Nicco! -You should totally do a solo.

Show me at school tomorrow.

Alright, wish me luck! Bye!

Wish me luck.

LUKE: (IN BACKGROUND) Well, you see,

the whole point of this is we're sharing everything.

Pooling our resources.

HEATH: You know, you could go down to the shop

and get your own marshmallows and chocolate.

Unless you're...

(CLUCKS)

It's fine.

You know, who even eats chilli and lime corn chips anyway?

Jesse! Want some breakfast?

I'll pass. I'm going to break out just looking at that stuff.

Hang on. Where are you going?

I'm going to the toilet. Do I need a note or something?

No. It's just that...the...

Luke thinks it's dangerous, you know?

Aliens!

Are you serious?

That spooky stuff we saw yesterday!

If you knew anything about alien abductions,

you'd see there's a pattern here.

So, is that why Nicco's in the corridor playing football?

(COUGHS) Scared!

You could tell Heath's not scared

by the way he wasn't freaked at all yesterday.

That's 'cause I wasn't.

Right.

Aliens or not, when nature calls, Jesse answers.

Even if there's no running water.

Hey.

I thought you'd be feeling pretty seedy

after all that rubbish you ate yesterday.

Excuse me? Boys' toilets.

Yeah, I've noticed.

How many insulin pens have you got left?

-Plenty. -Jesse, if you get sick...

I just told you I'm fine.

Anyway, my diabetes is my problem and I want it to stay that way, OK?

Fine. I won't tell anyone.

We should be careful out here.

It all looks pretty normal.

Yeah, for a town where everyone's disappeared into thin air.

Right.

Well, given the lack of marauding aliens,

I say we go check out the woodfired pizza joint.

-You're kidding. -What?

No electricity required, and I've got a hunger for a large Mexicana.

So, we could be in the middle of a major disaster -

I don't know, a toxic gas leak or something -

and you're thinking pizza?

Uh, not just pizza. Woodfired gourmet pizza.

Heath, she is right. We can't just stay around here.

What, so Nicco's in charge, is she?

No, she isn't.

Alright, well, what's the next move, oh, fearless leader?

Well, we had a plan. I say we stick to it.

We should head to Rochford and look for the authorities.

Maybe we don't need to go to Rochford

to find out what's really going on.

If there's been an emergency,

somebody will be broadcasting instructions.

Where to go, who to contact.

-Like when there's a bushfire. -Exactly like that.

But why the rangers' station?

Ranger Wyatt was a Scoutmaster. His speciality was DXing.

It's like...

Using high-powered radio tuners to pick up signals from far away.

So, Wyatt's DX radio is here?

Should be. State-of-the-art, and portable.

Exactly how do you know all this?

Beam me up, Scotty.

Little Heathie was a Scout, right?

Aw, cute.

Can you tie knots, too?

Argh! (CLATTERING)

I quit when I was 11, OK?

Sure you did.

(CLATTERING) Ow!

-Heath? -Heath, you good?

It's dark in here!

Here, grab this.

You know what? I will give it to you. You're the man.

Was it ever in doubt?

Uh, one small problem, team.

Batteries not included.

You sure that's where he kept them?

Totally sure.

My cordless mic chews through batteries.

That just means the shop is out of batteries, right?

Or someone's taken them all.

Have you guys noticed anything wrong with the newspapers?

Well, it's old.

12 months old.

-12 months old? -It's the same with the magazines.

That doesn't make any sense.

Two days ago when we were here, this shop was normal.

It was totally legit.

If our stalker is raiding shops, taking batteries and stuff,

then maybe we should do the same.

Stock up on food and bottled water.

Too late.

The water's all gone.

And with the supermarket locked tight,

this is all we've got.

Jesse, you can't.

What? I'm thirsty.

We need to find fresh water right away.

-Why? There's litres of soft drink. -Soft drink is no good.

-Jesse needs... -Shut up, Niccolina.

Jesse's concerned about his figure.

His figure?

Look, if we find batteries, contact the authorities,

all this other stuff won't matter, right?

Right. So let's find batteries.

Oh.

Poor Teddy.

Eugh.

Guys, check it.

Takes D-sized batteries.

Yes! Yes!

(CRACKLING STATIC OVER RADIO)

Is that normal?

Shh!

(CRACKLING AND BUZZING OVER RADIO)

That's a signal, right?

I don't believe it.

What?

It's a special NASA call sign. We learnt it in Scouts.

They use it to signal for mass alien abductions.

You're joking.

Yes. It's just static, nimrod.

There's nothing.

The entire band is empty.

So, there's no-one broadcasting for 1,000km?

What if it's the same everywhere?

What if we really are the only people left on Earth?

How do we know that thing's even working?

It's working, Nicco.

Well, it still doesn't prove that there's no-one out there.

I say we get out of here, check for ourselves.

We still don't have proper food.

We don't even have water.

Well, let's get some.

Let's.

Are you sure this stuff is OK to drink?

The Bremin River is one of

the cleanest and most scenic waterways in the state.

Bates used to bang on about it.

I can't breathe!

Idiot.

Right.

I'll be around that bend washing my hair.

If anyone comes near, they die. Heath, soap.

Finish filling up the water bottles,

and then you might want to take a dip yourself.

Is she saying I smell?

Could be there's a dead animal nearby.

Hey! Hey, hey, guys! Come quickly!

Someone's camping here.

It's totally set up.

What is this?

The fire's still warm.

This looks recent.

So, the world ends and this guy goes yabby catching?

That's a pretty chilled stalker.

Fudgito! I saw these same wrappers at school.

Hey!

There's a trail.

Look at you, all boy scouting.

Hang on. Is this smart?

What?

What if Mr Fudgie is the same guy who sabotaged our car?

This could be a trap.

OK. You can stay here. Keep watch.

Wait for me!

Hey!

This looks like something out of the Zombies Walk.

I know this place.

Let me guess - it's a make-out spot.

You guess good.

Although the last time I was here it was totally abandoned.

Well, looks like someone moved in. Shh.

If our stalker is in there, we need to take him by surprise.

You two cover the back, make sure there's no way out there.

Yes, commandant.

What is that?

-I do kendo. -Oh, OK.

I thought it was cheerleading.

Hah! Do not offend ninja.

Oh. OK.

-You ready? -Are you?

On three.

One, two...

..three.

All clear!

Why would anyone live out here

when there's a town full of empty buildings?

Same thing that brought us here - fresh water.

Whoa.

Check it out.

He's made a charger.

This guy's good.

Hey.

This looks like a diary.

"Finding spell"?

Or not a diary?

My bag!

It was in the car.

So this is stalker HQ.

Maybe Luke was right.

I don't like this place.

Oh, check it. "Freak storm batters Bremin.

Insane rainstorm devastates forest. Two moons in the sky.

Scientists puzzled."

As you would be.

This doesn't make any sense.

It says here that the freak storm

happened on the 12th of June last year,

but that was the day of the big win against Rochford.

The weather was beautiful.

Nicco's right, guys.

We'd remember if this stuff had happened.

If it had happened in our world.

I saw an episode of Doctor Who

where they were transported to a parallel universe.

Maybe something like that happened to us.

Does someone want to wake me

when the Time Lord returns to planet Earth?

It looks like everyone's disappeared,

but what if we are the ones who've disappeared?

We got shifted out of our reality into an alternate reality,

an alternate Bremin, where all this stuff happened.

OK, but where are all the alternate Breminites?

I have no idea, but whatever happened to them

happened, like, a year ago, according to this.

Which is why all the newspapers in the shops are old

and everything's so dusty.

Luke, even if what you're saying did make sense, how does it help us?

Well, I used to play this video game

where you use portals to teleport from planet to planet,

and sometimes there was invisible portals

and if you weren't careful, you'd walk right into them.

Which could be what happened to us.

Yes. OK.

There's this other videogame called Super Mario.

Maybe we should call him in for help.

Why are you on my back?

Because you're living in fantasy land.

Real life isn't like video games, Luke.

We have to be realistic, OK? Stick to the plan.

-Your plan? -OUR plan.

Look, Nicco, if Luke's right, our world could still be there,

and if there's a chance of getting back, I'm taking it.

Come on. Let's go find that portal.

OK.

So, we're in the store. Everything was normal.

And bang, the lights go out and suddenly...

Empty world. Alright.

So, I spray gunk all over the area.

I'll look for a spot where it disappears.

And that's our portal. You ready?

Spray away.

This stuff smells like cat vomit.

Luke, stop! Stop!

-What, did some of it disappear? -No, I saw someone!

'Someone' as in a person?

Hey, you!

Stop!

He's going into the church. We've got him.

Man, my mum was right.

Too much screen time is not good for my physical fitness.

He's trapped.

-Jesse, you don't look too good. -I'll keep watch.

You get the others.

Are you sure?

Go! G...

Go. Hurry.

Jesse, are you alright?

Jesse! Jesse?

Jesse?

I'm OK. He's in there.

Hey!

Who's there?

Who are you?

Got you.

Ben?

Hi, guys.

You're the one who's been stalking us?

I never stalked you, I swear.

I didn't even know you were here until just now.

OK, well, then why did you run away from us?

I was scared.

I mean...

..one minute I was at school, a normal afternoon,

and then suddenly the place was empty.

I ran out, but when I got outside...

The whole town was empty.

I'm so glad to see you.

We need to talk. In private.

So, someone's been stalking us, messing with our heads.

I can't prove it was him, but there's no-one else around.

Hmm. I think he's in the same boat as us.

Well, maybe,

but his story doesn't make any sense.

What is this, Survivor?

Are you going to vote him out of Bremin?

He gives me the creeps.

We all know he's a bit of a weirdo.

I should've known it. Reject the weirdo, right?

That's your style. What?

I'm talking about you, Niccolina. It's always about you.

Everything's always got to be just the way YOU want it.

I need a drink. Jesse!

What's wrong with him?

Diabetes. His blood sugar's too high.

-So, what do we do? -We need to give him insulin.

He hasn't got any pens left.

OK, so, where can we find some?

Can't you just pick the lock?

Do I look like a criminal to you?

Yes.

Uh, thank you.

Try these.

-It's really hard. -Give me a try.

Oh. What? Well, I must've weakened it.

There must be another latch on the inside.

-You OK? -Yeah.

Maybe one of us should just bike it to Rochford.

What, and back? It'll take hours.

Quick, get back.

There was a latch on the inside.

I got some insulin pens.

Are these what Jesse needs?

Going around back was a good idea.

I figured it was worth trying.

Noticing that the skylight was open, well, that was just lucky.

That smells terrible.

Yeah, it's my mum's recipe.

She's truly a woeful cook.

But, you know, a healthy, home-cooked meal.

Low sugar for Jesse.

Hey, I'm totally fine now,

so there's no need for the sugar police.

Right.

We have to pick up some bedding for Ben from sick bay.

I'm assuming you can look after my pasta sauce till I get back?

Will do, Mr MasterChef.

Ben, come with us.

Hey...

..listen, what you said before about me rejecting weirdos...

I was overreacting.

Yeah, but you know I never saw you that way, right?

I came down to barrack for you

first time you played with the football club.

You won and it was amazing,

but then afterwards you had all these new friends.

Jesse, I introduced you to them.

I introduced you to everyone.

I know, and I tried, but... I couldn't join in.

They were just chatting about the game.

Headers, offsides, slam-dunks.

Slam-dunks is basketball, you nuff-nuff.

Well, I did also make some suggestions

on improving that team uniform.

It's so dowdy.

Nicco, before, it had always been just us two.

Like...it didn't matter about anyone else because...

..well, because I always knew you were there.

Yeah. I felt the same.

Sorry.

It's no biggie. Things change, right?

Mm.

Oh, crap! I'm burning the sauce!

Heath's going to kill me.

MAN: (WHISPERING) Ben.

Ben.

Come.

It's time.

Ben, this way.

Come on. Hurry up.

Here.

What is this place?

What are you up to, Ben?

Felix Ferne - one of the Bremin Four.

It's them, the kids that went missing!

Sam Conte, Jake Riles, Andy Lau.

Ben, we need the book!
