Nowhere Boys (2013–2018): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

It looks like Andy was using magic he
didn't understand and couldn't control.

Felix here and his friends
chased him into the bush -

what do you expect us to think?

If you have any information,
please contact the police.

Did you hear?
They found Andy in Rochford.

- Someone phoned in a sighting.
- What?

I don't think they think
Andy's in Rochford.

They're not telling us something.
We'll just have to find out for ourselves.

So no sign of Andy at all?
This call was a hoax.

I could organise a time
with the school counsellor.

Mr. North...?



Your subconscious spilling the beans
is not awesome, Sam.

My office, lesson five.

How'd it go with the police - OK?

- I feel your pain.
- Mention it again and you'll feel my fist.

- How did you know about this?
- I just drew what was in my head.

If we got close to Alice and I made a
connection, I could sense where her book is.

Oscar knows where Alice's book is
and Alice does too.

Alice beat us to it.

- Now, this is bad.
- Really, really bad.

Season 2, Episode 4

Well, at least we know
Oscar's power works.

Not tha it helped. Any chance of us getting
Andy back disappeared with that book.

- Then we have to get creative.
- We got creative.

We created a water demon, remember?



If we had a real Water Element,
we could do a tracking spell.

One snag with that, hombre -

our Water Element got vacuumed
up into the sky, remember?

We could find someone else.

- Wait, there's another Water Element?
- Possibly.

You weren't the only ones
with potential.

- I thought we were special.
- You'll always be special to me, Sam.

Well, if there's another slightly less
awesome Water Element out there,

how do we find it?

- Roland.
- Roland's a Water Element...?

- Let's bail.
- He'll find us sooner or later.

You guys get out of here.
I'll go talk to our friendly detective.

Let's go.

We know it was you, Felix.

We traced the call
from the exchange to here.

There's no doubt
that it came from this house.

I... didn't make any call.
Somebody's got it wrong.

Why would someone make a false
statement about a missing person?

Detective, my son just told you
he wasn't responsible.

Then who was?

I was... just trying to help.

Oh, Felix...

Andy said his family used to go
to Rochford when he was a kid.

For holidays.

He liked it there because
it was away from everything.

You failed to mention this
in your interview because...?

It wasn't until after...

I was thinking about Andy
and it came to me.

You do realise it's an offence to make
a false statement to a police officer?

Please, Detective Murphy, my son is
stressed and he made a mistake.

If there's anything else you've forgotten
to tell me, contact me direct.

I'll make sure he does.

- I'll see you out.
- Thank you. We will speak again.

It's alright.
I'll tell them it was me.

It's no use both of us
being on Roland's hit list.

Felix, up. I'm not finished with you yet.
You've got some explaining to do.

Then I called the police and told
them I'd seen Andy in Rochford.

But it wasn't true.

Crazy boy.

- Why would you do that?
- Are you some kind of sociopath?

I thought Andy would be coming home.

Um, I'm so sorry...

- I didn't mean...
- Save your apologies for Andy.

The first 48 hours are crucial
in a missing person's case

and your lie just wasted heaps of them.

- Viv...
- You should listen to your daughter.

- Mum.
- Michael, Nicole, Lily...

If we can help in any way,
you just let us know, OK?

Mrs Lau, Andy will be OK. I know it.

Come on.

Password, of course.
Why would you make this easy?

"Bear Grylls".

"Ninja".

No need to rub it in...

1.618

The golden ratio that appears
in all forms of nature and science.

Such a nerd...
Now, what have you been up to?

___

What...?

So you want to be a powerful magician?

Magic...?

___

No way...

- Anything?
- Nothing.

I guess it's a lot harder
to find Andy than some book.

- Felix...
- What about the other Water Element?

Do you think you could find that?

I don't hear a lot of sorting
going on out there!

Less talking, more sorting,
thank you.

You have to hand it to her - Mum is an
expert at cruel and unusual punishment.

- Never gonna get through all this.
- Thank you for covering for me.

I was trying to buy you more time,
but I messed it up - of couse.

No, you did help, Oskie.
You were right about Alice's book.

Just like you were about
the other universe in your comic.

- Yeah, about that...
- Sorry I tore it up.

- You know I had to try, right?
- No - I mean, I know...

- You can draw another one, maybe!
- Felix!

What I drew in the comics,
you said that really happened?

Well, does that mean that...
in the other universe I could walk?

I didn't know how to tell you.

Sorry.

But... I didn't have a brother?

Well, in this universe, I win.

- Where've you been?
- Here, working everything out.

Grab a brush. This hard work thing
is meant to be good for you.

So is exercise,
but I've managed to avoid that.

Why not?

Having something handmade
is supposed to bring good energy.

What do you think?

Seems like a lot of effort
for good luck.

I just want everything
to go well, that's all.

- We're a good team.
- When we work together.

So how do we find
this Water Element?

Yeah, what made you choose us
for your bizarro magic family?

It wasn't an exact science.
First, I had to establish your Elements.

- Earth, Fire, Air and Water.
- Exactly. It's like star signs.

Everyone is born
with an elemental nature,

but what I really had to find was
four elements with magical potential.

Jake, on the 13th of February,
during a daily bullying ritual...

- Mikey! Come back!
- Come on, Mikey. What are you running for?

Come on, Mike, we're having fun.

- Where'd he go? That way?
- No...

I'd been following
you for weeks.

And then I saw it.

- How'd you do that?
- I see nerd people.

I could tell
that wasn't just a guess.

Lunch.

Sharing's caring, Mikey.

And, Sam, without even seeing
what was about to happen...

...It was crazy - they
were screaming my name.

Sam!?

- You weren't even looking.
- Anyway, where was I?

Which brings us to Andy.

And Bates' once-a-semester
math-lympics.

Next to answer correctly will be
crowned champion math-lete.

- The number that appears in all...
- 1.618 - the golden ratio...

...Is the number that appears
in all forms of nature and science.

Correct. Well, yes,
that's incredible, Andy.

So you win. Well done.
You don't. Sit down.

I knew Andy was a nerd,
but this was different.

And I was right - you all
have magical potential.

What about Mike...?

He does have a sort of
similar intelligence to Andy.

Maximum nerdage!

Dylan? He's a master
of water bombs.

Once he hit someone through
the window of a moving bus.

It's a long shot, but...

- Lachlan?
- No, not him.

Can't get closer to water
than captain of the swim team.

Now we
test them.

Hello.

Hi.

Behind you.

Good catch.

- Thanks for the heads-up.
- You're welcome.

So, um... are you new?

Come on, Jake!

Do I need to remind you
we're in the middle of something?

- Who was that?
- Come on.

- Sure Lachlan came through here.
- The shrink!

Boys...

You can come out now.

Can you make a spell
that makes me immune to hypnotism?

You don't need magic,
just mind power.

- That's what I'm afraid of.
- Focus your energy on the one thing.

- Fortify the mind.
- Hey, there's Lachlan.

Perfect timing, gentlemen. We were
about to search your lockers.

Oh, don't worry. If you've nothing
to hide, there's nothing to worry about.

Is there...?

Detective, I'm sure there won't be.

Boys?

What, don't they feed you at home, kid?

I have an uber-high metabolism.
It's a condition.

This is a locker, Jake.
Not a dirty clothes basket.

Nothing suspicious there.

We want to find Andy
as much as anyone.

A rubbish skip seemed like
an odd place to start.

I don't miss much, Felix.

Long story short - I'll find out
exactly what happened to Andy.

I think I've got everything I need.

I'll catch you boys later.

Alright, show's over, everyone.

Listen, none of this can be easy,
so if you ever wanna talk...

Let me guess, you're here for me.

- Of course you are.
- Excuse me, I'm still your teacher, Jake.

Yeah, that's right and nothing more.

Move along.

Sorry about the... about the smell.

I don't like to wash my socks
after a footy win, for luck.

- Does it work?
- I'm the best kick on the team.

You're not too bad yourself,
from what I saw.

- Really?
- Yeah...

- How long have you creeps been there?
- Long enough.

"Best kick on the team", huh?

Shouldn't we be following
our Water Element?

It'd be quicker if we split up
and take one each.

Let's see what we can
find, meet up later.

What do you think
the cops were looking for?

I don't know.

Those boys know something
about what happened to my brother.

What tipped you off?
The huge police investigation?

This is different.
I found something.

OK, here we are.

Meet me in
the library.

Wow, not crazy at all.

Mia, Ellen. Meet Saskia,
Bremin High's newest student.

Ellen, would you mind buddying up, showing
her the lay of the land, so to speak?

Newbie-babysitting?
Kill me now.

Thank you.
Knew I could count on you.

- Ready.
- I know.

This is my excited face.

Mike. Hey, mate. Um...

I was just wondering if you knew
anything about the golden...

- The what?
- You know, that science thing...?

You're interested in science?
So am I!

- Kind of.
- Great.

Nice one, Dylan.

Personally, I'm far more interested
in the natural sciences.

Much more fascinating than mathematical
theories, don't you think?

- Um... yeah...
- Have you seen that double rainbow video?

I've seen it, like, 200 times.

- Seen Dylan?
- Over there.

Where?

Oh, no.

Better run, Dracula.
This one's got holy water in it.

Whatever's going on, I'll bet it
has something to do with these.

- What are they?
- They're magic websites.

I found them in Andy's
internet history.

Andy was always weird,
but he wasn't... magic weird.

Are you sure the boys aren't
in league with sparkly vampires

and werewolves with amazing abs?

Can you be serious for like five minutes?

We are talking about magic.
How serious can it be?

So Felix has been jumpy
and secretive since he came back.

He's always been
jumpy and secretive.

He wouldn't hide something
that would help find Andy.

Is this really what
I look like?

That's actually a good ID photo.
You look really pretty.

You think so?

You should borrow some books.
Go forth and feast on knowledge.

OK. Thanks.

If you're sure they've got nothing to hide,
then why don't you ask them about these?

Magic? No way. None of us know
anything about magic, at all.

- Except for Felix.
- Well, yeah.

- And maybe Andy?
- I guess.

- Probably Jake too.
- A little bit.

You've gone from swearing none of you know
anything about magic to admitting you all do.

I did...?

You creep around with Sam and Jake
like the demented Three Musketeers

and you're being investigated
by the police.

But everyone else is crazy
and there's nothing going on?

- When you put it like that, it sounds...
- Delusional?

- Is there anything you wanna tell me?
- Why does everyone keep asking me that?

When did I become 'everyone'?

Wanna know something
I haven't told you? Fine.

When I was lost in the forest,
I thought about you.

- Whatever. What kind of things?
- I don't know.

How much you hate boy bands,

how you paint your little fingernail
a different colour,

how you wear that bracelet we bought
although you've fixed it six times.

But it's all been so crazy
with Andy gone,

doesn't seem right to focus on anything
else, even if it is important to me.

Sorry. Hopeless at this.

Yeah, terrible.

- Come here.
- I'll be right back.

Dude, Mike is a total bust. I think
I should follow one of the others.

___

___

Look, babe, all this magic stuff,
it's not what you think.

I saw this shrink and he says
that when I talk about magic,

it's just me trying to cover up
trauma, or something.

Like my brain doesn't want me
to remember me being lost.

- I wouldn't lie to you.
- Then why didn't you tell me?

Just didn't want you to worry.

___

There seems to be a lot of things
you don't want me to worry about.

I just remembered that
I have to be somewhere.

Mia!

You're always in the last place
I look.

Good news - your Mum's really keen
for us to get started, so let's kick off.

Why not?
My day's already going so well.

This could form a major part
of the police investigation.

No way - we're not dobbing
them in to the cops.

- You'd've rather they get away with it?
- With what?

They may have lied,
but they're not criminals.

I think this is the part where
you're meant to back me up.

What if they're into something
they can't get out of?

- The police might be able to help.
- Like the detective said,

if they've got nothing to hide,
they have nothing to worry about.

Why don't you let us find out
what's going on?

If there really is something bad, you can
go to the cops and we'll come with you.

We will...?

The police have already
tried asking straight out.

We would be a little more... subtle.

OK, so, uh, close your eyes.
We're going to get into the zone.

So, I want you to just listen
to the sound of my voice.

I'm gonna count slowly,
backwards, from five.

- Five...
- Focus the mind.

- Four...
- Focus the mind.

- Three...
- Focus the mi...

Let your breathing become slower
and steadier as you relax.

- Two...
- Focus the...

And one.

OK.

So... we're now back
in the forest.

Dappled light coming in
through the leaves,

the big green trees
and the soft undergrowth...

Can you see the forest?

- Yeah.
- Good.

OK, so...

What do you remember
of your time there?

I... ate scrambled eggs.

Nice work.
What else do you remember?

I ate... mouldy doughnuts
from a bin.

Alright, go on.

I ate pig trotters.
They were pretty good.

I ate a whole table of Chinese food.

OK, can you remember
anything other than food?

Yes.

Good.

Jake's porridge.

That wasn't food.

Best friends since primary school and
now I'm supposed to be spying on him.

It was your idea.

I had to stop Viv going
to the cops somehow.

Why is even any of this our problem?

I don't even know how I feel
about Sam anymore.

Trouble in perfect-couple land?

I just feel like since Sam's
come back, he's a different person.

I just... I don't even know
if I can trust him at all.

There's something I have to do.
I'll see you later.

- Sam!
- Mia. Hey.

Want some? I ate heaps for lunch
and I'm starving. It's weird.

- Can we talk?
- I thought we talked already.

Just tell me the truth. Right now.

- About what?
- You know what.

About what happened to you,
what happened to Andy,

why you keep running off
with Jake and Felix.

Either you tell me now, or...

Or what?

Or I don't think
we can be together anymore.

Well...?

There's nothing going on.

OK, Sam, if that's how
you want it to be.

- Mia!
- Bye, Sam.

- How'd it go with Lachlan?
- The shrink got me.

- And you spilled your guts?
- No.

My mind's a fortress, but my
heart... it's a whole other story.

Mia...

- Mia dumped me.
- We all kind of saw that coming.

- Harsh, Felix.
- Sorry.

I'd say the search for the Water
Element was an epic fail.

Incoming!

- How are you doing that?
- I don't know, I tried to catch it.

"Magical potential".

More like "magic".
She controlled water.

It's OK. You're the one
we're looking for.

Look.

What are they doing with her?

A girl like Saskia shouldn't have
that much magical power.

- What - more than you?
- More than any of us.

- I have to tell you something in private.
- Don't hate me.

Maybe Viv's right, maybe
this needs to be a police thing now.

Ready to reconstruct the scene
of Andy's disappearance?

You wanna charge us, then do it;
otherwise we don't have to be here.

People who say that
usually have something to hide.

We think Andy might be
in the other universe.

You can't be serious.

I've reworked the unmaking spells.
We can travel between the universes.

- So, about dinner at my place tonight.
- I'm having dinner at your place?

Yeah, tonight.

- What's going on?
- This.

Stop! I'm filming everything.
What have you done to Jake?
