02x08 - Special

[bunniefuu]

You'd come to Silverpoint every
summer

and we'd have fun and then you'd go.

They left me behind too.

We'd always see the same kids,

like they were, connected.

I'm going on my own.

Something was inside those things.

I think you should go.

Greenfront are aliens?

You want proof, I think I know
how.

The alien one is Louis's.

He's not human!

None of you are.

RINGING ECHO

RINGING ECHO

He's not human!

None of you are.

We began to suspect you weren't
human early on.

We ran tests to understand.

That's when we discovered your
physiology and DNA is alien.

Your brain activity is wired
differently.

Some of you stronger, more advanced
than others.

It was important to go on with the
challenges, we still think that.

And act like everything's normal?

This is crazy!

It doesn't make sense.

Let's try to be calm.

How can we be alien?

I guess the Artefacts changed you

so you can exist in those spaces.

What does that even mean?

It means you're special.

What are you doing?

We're getting out of here.

Monika!

What's going on?

Just think about this, please.

Those things did something to us.

I just want to be back to normal.

What's she doing?

This was meant to be fun and about
saving the world, Isabel.

I'm scared.

I miss my mum and dad.

I'll see you back home.

Monika, no!

It's OK.

We'll get you home.

From now on, all the doors are
locked and alarmed.

We left them open to show trust.

We could still do it with
the three of them.

We can't stop now.

We're not going ahead with another
challenge

until I know what we're doing here
matters.

Monika really messed things up.
Yeah.

Does any of this make any sense to
you?

What they said to us?

That the Artefact changed our DNA
somehow?

Maybe.

Listen, things got weird last night.

I took Isabel and Monika's side.

I'm sorry.

I mean, you can't really blame me.

If anyone's an alien.... What?

Well, you're pale and emotionless.

But you're also great and
everything!

I just don't like being hugged!

Doesn't mean I'm from another
planet.

Sure.

If Greenfront aren't the aliens,

what came out of those things?

We find out what was inside them,

we find out what's inside us.

Meg!

Meg!

Are you in here?

Me...

You've got to be kidding me.

VIDEO GAME PINGS

What are you doing in here?

I thought you'd pulled a Monika.

Feels like home here.

So, this is what we're doing now,
playing this stupid game?

We could play anything you want.

I could create anything you want.

I could create Jay?

What? In here.

I could imagine him, it would be
easy.

You think that's what I want?

I don't know, I just don't want us
to be mad at each other.

No-one ever looked at me like that
before.

It was nice.

But it was never you or him.

It's you AND him.

It's you listening to me moan about
him and telling me I can do better.

And when it's a girl or boy you
like,

I say the same things to you.

That's how this works, you don't
lose me.

Unless we forget each other.

You really want to play a game?

No-one's ever beat the diamond.

If we want to win, we need to train.

That's the idea, right?

You and me?

Well, technically, I am still the
leader, though, so...

That didn't take long to go
to your head, did it?!

I'm just saying.

The cloud thing was showing off.

RINGING ECHO

This was a stupid idea!

It was your idea!

What's with those angry emojis at
the beach?

We're not going to talk about that?
It was weird.

I don't know. Can we focus on this?

Kaz!

OK, think it through, maybe there

never was actually anything inside
them.

Erm, so that would mean...?

It had something to do with the
challenges and the prize?

The four winners go inside?

That's not going to happen.

I'm not going in there.

RATTLING

What was that?

Oh, I hate this thing.

It's just an annoying game that's
trying to stress us out.

Why do we keep running back here?

Let's make it come to us.

What? I...

OK, that bought us some time.

What do you think of when you think
of diamonds?

Erm, I don't know, jewellery?

No, too many options, simpler.

We play rounders at school and the
teacher said rounders is basically

baseball but in baseball the field's
called a diamond.

Oh, it's a ball.

It's a ball.

White, red stitches along the
edge, simple.

OK, hold it steady.

It's mine now, I control it.

How did you get here?

It's not so easy to explain.

There's more than one Artefact, it's
not safe.

They won't want you here.

Come on, hurry up.

Some of the others,

they wanted to know what's going on
in the real world.

They saw you on the news.

They did?

How did you find this?

Was it Maeve?

I feel bad about how we left things.

It's been on my mind.

I can't believe you're standing
there and it's actually you!

Can I get a word in?

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Do you think when they wipe
our memories, they change us back?

To what we were before, I mean.

Sorry about Monika.

Everything last night, I suppose it
just got to her.

Suppose?

So these things open up and there
are four empty cryo-chambers.

What are we missing?

Did you find something?

Yeah.

Four Artefacts, a game and you're

all aliens who're going to save the
world?

When you bunch it all together like
that.

How did you know how to open
the Artefacts?

Oh, from when I was on the
spaceship.

Why did you come here?

ALARM SOUNDS

GREENFRONT TECH ONE: Someone's
tripped an alarm on the east side of
the building.

GREENFRONT TECH TWO: Another runner?
Someone from the outside, I think.

What do we do?

Wait here.

Where did you go?

Footprints. What?

There were footprints on the floor
in front of all the Artefacts.

The footprints got smaller.

Something came out of it.

What's all that about?

I don't know. Are you listening to
us?

When you opened them, we were
focused on the front ones,

we weren't looking at the back two.

Tell him the other thing.

They changed shape, Louis.

Whatever it is, it can
change how it looks.

Did you hear what I said?
It could look like anyone!

Well, all right then, this is fun.

GLEN: That's not Bea.

MEG: It's an alien. What's it doing
here?

BEA: Why does it look like me?

You're sure she's the real one?

Yeah.

You stay out of everyone's way, for
now...

..until we figure out what
to do with you.

You were inside one of the
Artefacts.

Are there more of you?

But you are a part of this?

You are one of them?

We've done everything you said.

We've taken these kids from their
families

because you told us to do it,
you said it would save the world.

How does this all make a difference?

I need to understand.

Why did you change them?

You need to continue with the
challenges, Charlotte.

All right you lot, out of here.

This has been a very long, weird day
and I'm tired.

Prep them for the next challenge
tomorrow.

The next challenge?

We've lost Monika, that's not fair!

Yeah! And you've got an alien
locked up in there.

Come on.

Glen?

Are you out there?

You and I need to talk.

Glen!

We need to talk, it's important!

What are you doing here, Bea?

I came to save you all.

I met Maeve.

She was in here, wasn't she?

Part of this game?

What Charlotte said to that thing
in there,

about them changing you - what did
she mean?

They think the Artefacts did
something to us -

changed our DNA and stuff.

I don't know what those things did
to you but...

..this has been going on for years.

What am I looking at?

It's - it's us...

..me and Kaz.

And me and Glen.

The others too, you've all been
connected since you were kids.

How can we be in the same photo
when we were kids?

We're special.

You need to get out of this place.

This is Maeve's dad's number.

We have a phone, they can get you
home.

It's not that simple.

Bea?

I think it's best if you go while
you still can.

Save yourself, they might let you
leave.

Do you know what I've been through,
how hard it was to find you all?

I'm happy to see you. Are you?!

Of course!

Look, I already did this.

I already hugged you and said that
I missed you and now all this.

It's weird doing this all over
again.

I'm sorry I missed all that.

You CAN'T be here.

They wipe our memories!

If you lose or try to leave,
we forget each other.

I'd forget you.

Look, I had a plan, I'd win the game

and I'd figure out why this has all
been happening

and then I'd come and find you.

But you being here, it messes
everything up.

So I'm just the wannabe girlfriend?

Bea, that's not what I meant.

You're not part of this.

You're not one of us.

OK.

Bea? No, no, it's fine.

It's why you left me at the camp
because I'm not one of you.

You see this?

Yeah, it's me and Glen when we were
little, it's weird.

Really look!

That girl, right over in the corner.

That's me, Louis.

I'm special too.

THEY led me here.

Bea. Bea, what are you doing?

Bea! Bea, no, don't!

Looks like they're not a player down
any more.
