01x10 - Detour

[bunniefuu]

Why did you build this camp here

when you knew it wasn't safe?

Meg, Meg, 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.

Louis, something's wrong.

The Thing, this place is meant
for us three and Meg, not Bea.

Bea's in danger. 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 use symbols, to open it.

I don't like it, not one bit.

And you could
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,

'stead 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.

I've never seen her before.

Are you okay?

Sit down.

How are you feeling? Are you
hungry? You had us worried.

Sorry.

There's meant to be
a dustpan in there.

It's okay, no harm done.

Do you have a name?

Where are my friends?

- Where are my friends?
- It's okay, 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
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've taken
your time to sleep it off.

She keeps offering us tea!

They have 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?

Nineteen ninety-seven.

Did we not mention that yet?

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

Maybe Bea being in there
messed up its settings.

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.

And did you see what
they were wearing?

They're runaways.
City kids I bet.

I'm calling Social Services.

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

Back? No! 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.

You want to pop in a shop
to see if they have

another time machine in stock
cos 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 gonna stand out.

Thanks.

I can bring you food.

We're fine. Come on, let's go.

Don't 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.

They've had her
in there for hours.

Was I right to stop her running?

But, if it gets
Bea back, then...

You did the right thing.

Are you okay?

Can't help,
what with everything else.

You're always off
this time of year.

What happened,
that was 23 years ago tomorrow.

Bea, it's gonna be okay.

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,
if 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?

We should stop now.

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

What's he doing?

- It's getting worse.
- Louis, back away!

Louis!

That's 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 90's.

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 vanish forever

on the fifth of August 1997.

According to that newspaper,
that's tomorrow.

The grown up Daniel told Bea
those kids were his friends,

but 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?

Daniel, is the camp closing?

It's gonna 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 gonna get cold.

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

You're sleeping here?

I like ceilings.

You really think we're
the kids who vanished?

I mean, how does that even work?

Whatever gets us back.

Are we not gonna talk about it?

You passed the assessment.
Your face, the avatar thing.

It'd 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,

gave up something to help Bea.
Now go back to the others.

I like ceilings too.

My dad's video was time-stamped.

It was 11:23 a.m.
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.

Where are you going?

You've got to eat.

All right. So,

say we do walk into the light
at 11:23 a.m.

Who's to say my dad will see us?

Cos if he doesn't,
there won't be any rumors,

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 her symbol

exactly when we need her to?

No, I'm good thanks.

Where'd 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 rumor
the kids who vanished were

my dad's friends
is cos 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.

Daniel!

Daniel!

Daniel!

Hey!

Where are you?

Hello?

Stay away from it!

What is it?

Did you dig it up?

Is him seeing
this part of your 'fate' thing?

You need to go!

My dad,
he'll come looking for you!

My mum called Social Services.

I can literally see him
forming memories,

get him away from here!

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 have
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.

And this village.

If you're leaving,
I wanna 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.

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!

Where are you going?

Slow down! Wait!

- Is he following us?
- Yeah.

You won't have
to be in there long.

How can you even
be sure Meg'll do it?

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

What? You're saying this now?

Meg will know what to do.
Trust me.

Daniel!

Where have you been?
We've been worried sick!

Get off me. Get off me!

- What was that light?
- They, they vanished.

What?
You're not making any sense.

Did they run off?

You won't find them.
They've gone.

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.
