Original subtitles

Meg, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

We need your help to get the others back. Is that your mum and dad?

It's my birthday. Not really, but that's what it would look like.

Something's wrong. The thing, this place is meant for us three and Meg.

Not Bea. Bea is in danger.

ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE

It's rejecting her, we have minutes.

It changed.

Here we go!

Are you lost?What's your name? Daniel McConnell.Dad?

Meg, we know you want your friends back. That's what we all want.

All you have to do is tell me how they switched it on.

We've got people out there now trying to figure it out,

but the more time we lose, the less chance we have of getting them back.

If you know anything, Meg, please, you have to tell us.

We used symbols to open it.

I don't like it, not one bit. And you would have just left them.

Trying to carry that poor girl.

I don't doubt that Daniel had the best of intentions,

but if he'd helped me with the roof

instead of playing out in the woods...

We're good people. Daniel was just trying to help someone in need.

Her poor parents must be worried out of their minds.

We know everyone in this village. Never seen her before.

Are you OK? Sit down.

How are you feeling? Are you hungry?

You had us worried.

SHATTERING

Sorry.

There's meant to be a dustpan in there. It's OK, no harm done.

Do you have a name? Where are my friends?

Where are my friends?

It's OK, it's fine.

Come with me.

She's up.

There are only four channels on this, and two are horse racing.

How did I get here?

You went unconscious.

You can't go uncon-... You fainted.

He kept insisting that we bring you here. You were out for hours.

This is my house, I live here. We need to get out of here.

We can't be around these people. You took your time to sleep it off.

She keeps offering us tea. They had a lot of questions.

It was difficult to know what to tell them.

Those were my grandparents looking like normal parents and,

and my dad...

I feel sick. Because of the headaches?Because it's weird.

It sent us back in time. Why would it do that?

What are you even saying? 1997.

Did we not mention that yet?

We don't know where or when that thing came from.

Maybe Bea being in there messed up things.

I don't like 1997. The food tastes funny and I wasn't born yet.

How do we even know this is real? It's real, look.

Real.

Look. Hey! Real.

The way that she looked at us, did you see what they were wearing?

They're runaways. Silly kids. I'm calling social services.

Where are we going? We need to try and get back.

Back? No. No, no, no.

I'm not going anywhere near that thing.

He's not saying we go back into the light, right?

I mean, it got pretty scary in there. It rejected her, not us.

Well, there's only three of you without me, so good luck.

Do you want to pop in the shop and see if they have another

time machine in stock, because ours gives you headaches?

We sacrificed a lot to get you out of there. We're in this together.

I didn't say we weren't. Great!

I took these from my dad's shed.

You can camp out in the woods if you like.

There's no-one my age in this village. I don't have friends.

You're going to stand out.

Thanks. I can bring you food. We're fine. Come on, let's go.

But we need food.

Why were you being so weird back there?

You wouldn't even look him in the eye.

When we first arrived at the camp, in the present,

did the older version of her dad remember us?

No. So let's keep it that way.

BARKING

They've had her in there for hours.

Was I right to stop her running?

If it gets Bea back, then... You did the right thing. Are you OK?

Can't help, what with everything else.

You're always off this time of year.

What happened, that was 23 years ago tomorrow.

PULSATING HUM

Bea, it's going to be OK. What are you doing?

I'm sorry you're here because of me.

I'm sorry I'm not Meg, but we were trapped in there. Remember?

We don't go into the light. We ask it questions.

If you get headaches, it gets bad, we step away.

How do we get home?

Meg was the one who first activated it with us, remember?

We already know this. You need to explain.

We don't understand, just tell us what to do.

You put your hand on it and just draw the symbol.

We can't get home without Meg. Is that it?

Meg needs to complete the connection?

ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE

We should stop now.

Were we alone in there? Was it just us in there?

What's it doing?It's getting worse.

Louis, back away. INTERFERENCE INTENSIFIES

Louis!

Enough!

So, what? Meg needs to write on her symbol at the same time we do?

She's 23 years in the future. I can't live in the '90s.

You won't.

I know we get back.

You... You know we get back?

Daniel, your dad, he...

He doesn't have any friends. Louis.

I came to this camp because of some mystery my dad was trying

to solve before he died.

Four kids vanished forever on 5th August, 1997.

According to that newspaper, that's tomorrow.

The grown-up Daniel told Bea those kids were his friends.

He just said he didn't have any friends. Unless he meant us.

Unless we're the kids who vanish. That's how I know we get back.

That's crazy. All this time I've been searching for myself.

For us.

Tomorrow your dad will see us disappear

and it will obsess him for years.

That doesn't make any sense.

On the video I saw, the kids on the film,

they wore jackets and hoodies exactly like these.

Daniel, what's going on? Who are all these people?

RINGING

Daniel, is the camp closing?

It's going to be dark soon.

We set up camp here and be ready for whatever happens tomorrow.

There's only two tents, but I can make us a shelter.

Yeah, I don't really do camping.

We should wear these.

Because it's going to get cold.

That bit goes like this. It's fine. I've got it.

You're sleeping here? I like ceilings.

Do you think we're the kids who vanished?

I mean, how does that even work? Whatever gets us back.

Are we not going to talk about it? You passed the assessment.

Your face, the avatar thing, it changed. That's what that meant.

You don't know that.

What did you wish for?

Did it have something to do with this place?

I didn't do anything, I just...

I gave up something to help Bea.

Now go back to the others.

I like ceilings, too.

ZIP RASPS

My dad's video was timestamped. It was 11:23am when those kids...

When we vanish tomorrow. That's important, right? Yeah, definitely.

About before. I didn't mean to embarrass you.

Inside that thing with you, the car, the stars. It was really special.

Bea.

It wasn't a mistake. You were always meant to get sent back here.

You are one of us.

TENSE MUSIC

Where are you going?

You've got to eat.

All right, so, say we do walk into the light at 11:23am.

Who's to say my dad will see us?

Because if he doesn't, then there won't be any rumours,

you don't read about it or come to the camp.

And we don't find the rock. Fate, maybe. Fate?

Fate is going to make Meg write on her symbol

exactly when we need her to?

I'm good, thanks.

Where did you get those? I went to the shop before.

You went to the shop? How did you pay for them?

I said I was a friend of Daniel McConnell and he'd pay.

Wait, what?

You're saying the rumour the kids who vanished were my dad's friends

is because you wanted a packet of crisps for breakfast?

See? Fate!

Give me those!

I can't eat fish, it's family.

Come on, it's time.

BARKING

Daniel! Daniel!

Hey!

Where are you?

Hello?

PULSATING HUM

Stay away from it.

What is it? Did you dig it up?

Is him seeing it part of your fate thing? You need to go.

My dad, he'll come looking for you. My mum called social services.

KAZ: I can literally see him forming memories. Get him away from it.

You need to go. Come with me.

Bea! He can't remember you.

I know.

What is that thing? Why will none of you look at me?Daniel...

I saw a light just before I met you all.

From over where that thing is.

You're not from the city, are you?

We need to leave soon. Does that thing has something to do with it?

I don't understand. It's complicated. So tell me.

Nothing ever happens here. There's nothing here for me.

I think about running away all the time. To the city, away from my dad.

This village.

If you're leaving, I want to come with you.

No, no, you don't. You can't.

You have to stay. This could be a good place for kids.

You could do that. Change it, make it better.

BARKING

Bea!

I need to go.

No-one can ever find that thing. Don't let anyone go near it.

It's dangerous. Promise me?

I promise. You can trust me.

Do you have something to write with?

Come on!

BARKING

Where are you going?

Slow down! Wait!

Is he following us? Yeah. He won't have to have been there long.

How can we even be sure that Meg will do it?

We only know that we vanish, not that we get back.

What? You're saying this now?

Meg will know what to do, trust me.

INTENSIFYING ROAR

Daniel, where have you been? We've been worried sick. Get off me.

Get off me! What was that light? They vanished. What?

You're not making any sense. Did they run off?

You won't find them, they've gone.

KNOCKING

Hey. This is for you.

I've had it for a long time.

So long I forgot what it meant or why I kept it.

But I remember now.

It's from your friends.

You need to save them.
