-[playful music plays]
Let me go!
Wait. No, don't let me go.
Please, don't let me go!
Put me down!
Stop. Pants!
[electronic hum]
[electronic music plays]
[music stops]
[ominous music plays]
I see you.
[electronic hum]
Oh no. It's okay. Don't be…
You're scared?
[twinkly music plays]
[pop music plays]
He's my brother, Tom!
He said those Kin Chip things
would protect us,
and it nearly got Bethan.
He sent you all to the fairground
so he could spend some alone time
with his new best friend.
Now you want to risk everyone else's life
to go and rescue him
after what we've just been through?
No, not on my watch.
What happened to saving as many as we can?
You can't save everyone.
-Josh!
-Look, I know you're scared,
but that doesn't mean
you can just give up.
What would your dad say?
Yeah.
What would Daddy think of Tommy
running away like a coward?
Watch your mouth
or you'll get ditched too!
I'm getting the oil to refuel.
Anyone not back at the bus in an hour,
you're on your own.
Oh, and Sophie,
if you're bringing Nas, tell him no orbs.
Alone or nothing.
Go get him, Soph.
Go get your brother back.
We'll deal with Tom.
We?
Yeah.
My teammate.
At least somebody sensible's on the case.
Yeah. On the case.
Under control.
No biggie.
Super chill.
-Don't ruin it, Chels.
-Sorry.
He just needs calming down.
I'll calm him down.
See you back at the bus.
But what if Nas is right?
He always said they weren't
supposed to vape people.
-It's a malfunction.
-Nas is mental, Beth.
He said that one was different.
Different like the one that smashed up
half the funfair just to get to you?
Would it have been any worse
to what we did to it?
It felt a bit harsh.
Beth, it was a lot harsh, okay?
That's what they deserve.
They took everything from us.
♪ I know wherever they may be
We'll find our-- ♪
Just stop.
Stop, please.
Why are you being so mean?
I'm being real, Beth. Okay?
We're not playing anymore.
That thing nearly got you.
Please, you have to try and understand
this isn't going to end
with a musical number
and jazz hands and everyone
learning a big valuable lesson
and taking a bow.
Because you can't fix everything
with a stupid song and a smile.
[downbeat music plays]
[twinkly music plays]
Subject is exhibiting
basic evasive action capabilities.
When it was threatened, it ran.
Now it appears to be hiding as if it's…
No. Don't be stupid.
It's a robot, it can't get scared.
It's not a cartoon animal.
Subject as of yet has shown
no indication of aggression.
Perhaps the lack of a Kin Chip
protects this unit from the malfunction
that's affected the others.
I'm going to attempt to recapture.
Hi.
It's okay.
[calm music plays]
Don't be scared.
[electronic hum]
-[electronic zap]
-Ow!
[ominous music plays]
Subject is uncooperative.
Defensive protocols are now in place
and now it doesn't trust me.
Stop. It's just a stupid machine.
I can't even get it to do… anything!
After all I've done for you.
I put you back together. I fixed you.
Why don't you just do what I say?
You useless piece of junk.
[downbeat music plays]
Every great team needs a great team name.
I was thinking something that
encapsulates our best qualities.
Edgy and cool, and yet
administratively robust and punctual.
Something like the Organized Skulls.
Chelsea, that is
without a doubt the absolute…
[playful music plays]
best team name I've heard today.
Let's try it out, yeah?
[music stops]
Want some company?
As long as you don't start singing.
Why is everyone so mean about the singing?
I bet he dropped it on purpose,
so we can follow his trail
like in Hansel and Gretel.
He never does up his laces.
Geniuses can be really dumb.
Come on. Let's keep looking.
Where's Bethan?
Have you checked your hip?
That's usually where you're joined.
I thought she was with you.
No, I left her near the dodgems.
Thank you. You've been incredibly helpful.
Tom, I think Bethan's
gone after Sophie and Nas.
43 minutes if you want to go find them.
Uh… I don't think so.
Oi!
All right.
Now you got 42 minutes, 33 seconds.
Tick-tock, mate, yeah?
[playful music plays]
[downbeat music plays]
[Sophie] Nas?
[sniffling]
What's going on?
I broke it.
Look, we have about 30 minutes
to get back to the bus
or Tom's going to leave us behind.
I think he means it.
No, Nas. He said no more robots,
no more orb stuff, just you.
But this one's different!
-I just need to show so you can--
-No, Nas! You come with me right now!
Well, I think this is going really well.
Just wait here.
Great. Leave me in the room
with the killing machine over there.
You all right, Tom?
[playful music plays]
You're not fooling anyone.
[grunts]
Yeah, you know.
A good soldier never leaves a man behind.
[floor creaks]
Isn't that what they say in the army?
That's what they tell you in Toy Story.
[Misha] Oh, yeah! Nice one, Tom.
That's definitely true,
because why would Toy Story lie?
Toy Story wouldn't lie.
I loved Toy Story. Did you love Toy Story?
It was really good.
I cried… Did you cry at that scene?
[clears throat]
Toy Story is pretty good.
Pretty good film.
I was going to say show,
it's not show, is it? Just…
give it up, Tom.
You can't drive this thing.
We all know you
can't drive this thing. It's a bit…
It can't be that hard.
Not if you can do it.
Yeah.
Easy as…
Nope.
You do anything funny and I'll
bash you in like I did your mate.
[calm music plays]
I'm sorry.
That's not me.
I didn't mean to…
I just got really angry.
Now Josh is angry too.
What's wrong with
being happy and positive?
Josh always says, "You can't fix
everything with a song and a smile."
But it makes me feel better.
And that's a start, right?
♪ Put a smile on your face
And a song in your heart ♪
♪ It won't fix everything
But it's a start ♪
♪ If we share a happy feeling
Even when we're sad ♪
♪ Then we might feel not as bad ♪
[hums]
[twinkly music plays]
[electronic beeping]
[Bethan gasps]
Nas, we literally
don't have time for this.
Put on your shoe and come down.
-Don't kick.
-Get off.
Hey!
You idiot!
[grunting]
Stop!
Wait. Glasses.
You sneaky little…
You started it.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Truce?
Okay.
You're such a liar.
I'm not the one hiding
killer robots on the bus.
It's not a killer, it's a fixer.
What are you talking about?
-It fixed my glasses.
-They're not broken.
Yeah, because it fixed them.
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you
earlier about it, but…
But what?
Double bow.
[calm music plays]
It must be so easy for you.
No one hates you. No one bullies you.
That's because I'm basically invisible.
People look at me, all they see is Misha.
When I stopped that orb monster thing,
everyone was happy and everyone liked me.
-I just didn't want to spoil it.
-And that ended really well.
I just thought I could fix it.
Prove that they're not all dangerous.
That this wasn't supposed to happen.
But I messed up.
Now everyone's back to
not liking me again. Back to normal.
I like you.
Well, you have to like me.
You're my sister!
Really don't.
I'm supposed to love you,
like is optional.
Keep forgetting. I have these.
Thought you might need them.
Thank you, Sophie.
You're welcome.
[Bethan] Guys. Okay,
don't freak out, but I would
like you to meet someone.
-Bethan, stay back.
-No.
-This one's friendly.
-This one's different.
[electronic beeping]
-How did you get it back online?
-Him. His name is Borb.
This is one of the most advanced
artificial intelligences on the planet,
and you named it Borb.
Borb the orb. It makes sense, doesn't it?
Suits him.
Oh! And watch this.
[twinkly music plays]
What did you…? How did you…?
Why did…? What?
Don't know. I was just having a sit
and a singsong, and,
well, he kind of just
woke up and we got chatting.
You just "got chatting"?
Yeah, I mean, I did most of the chatting.
He's a really good listener.
-So he fixes glasses…
-Mhm.
-…and flowers.
-Mhm.
Thanks.
Cellular regeneration.
Molecular manipulation.
Monkhouse was pioneering
all of this stuff.
Can we keep him?
-Please?
-Look at his little face.
He's got little flowers.
It's gonna take more than flowers
to change Tom's mind.
He said no more orb stuff, right?
We can't let it near the bus unless
we know he's not going to smash it up.
Or smash me up, for that matter.
Him. His name is Borb.
Stupid name.
Rude.
Okay, Nas, you stay here with…
Borb.
It's going to take both of us
to convince Tom.
[playful music plays]
So why don't we take her for a spin?
Mr. Driver.
Once around the car park?
No problem, yeah?
Misha, I don't think that--
Come on, Chels.
Tom's a big man. He can handle it.
Don't be shy, wheelman.
Show us what you got.
We're not leaving them.
Just relax, Tom.
Stop acting like you're the big man.
Catch.
Josh.
I'm sorry, man. But I can't leave Bethan.
[grunts]
Uh…
None of us would leave you.
Well, maybe not none of us.
Just give it here.
We're supposed to be a family, Tom.
Yeah, all right. Fine.
Fine, we'll wait.
Time's up.
Give it a rest, Tom.
You can't even drive!
Get a seat belt on then.
[dramatic music plays]
[engine starts]
[horn honks]
How long have we got?
Uh. None. None long.
[tires screech]
What's Misha doing?
That's not Misha.
Come on. Maybe we can head them off.
[Nas] And this one's Alfred.
Suppose he's like your great, great,
great granddad or something.
Cool, right?
[electronic beeping]
[calm music plays]
Look, I'm sorry about before,
when I shouted.
I just get cross sometimes, you know?
I don't mean to do it.
[twinkly music plays]
[playful music plays]
You don't have a card.
I mean, until a few days ago,
you were, like, top secret.
But if you did have a card,
I'd say you'd be the best in the pack.
Like straight nines.
Or tens!
Wait!
[dramatic music plays]
Misha, get off it! Get off!
All right, Tom, you made your point.
You can drive. Now stop!
You're not leaving them.
Not leaving her, are you?
Nas, Bethan, I understand,
they're annoying, but Sophie, she listens.
She's always got time when I want to rant
about school or boys or my parents.
What's that thing she always says?
Tom, what would your dad think?
Misha, maybe we should abort mission.
What's this?
-Get off that!
-Is it your daddy's?
Give it back!
[tires screech]
Tom!
Tom!
[tires screech]
No!
[bus creaks]
Is everybody okay?
Anybody broken?
[dramatic music plays]
Tom?
Whoa!
[screams]
[grunts]
Get to the emergency exit!
Hurry up!
Josh, Chelsea, come on!
-Bethan.
-It's okay, Joshie. Come on.
Whoa!
Get to solid ground! Go now!
[emotional music plays]
Stop leaving me alone with these freaks.
Is he…?
Keep going. Make sure they're okay.
He was going to leave you.
-We're not going to leave him.
-You're so selfless.
Sometimes you're really selfish.
Go.
[tense music plays]
[bus creaks]
[groans]
Tom?
Can you hear me?
It's Sophie.
Misha, go!
Not without you!
Tom, you need to get up right now.
We need to get to Wallgate, remember?
Everyone's waiting.
As many as we can, right?
That includes you.
[downbeat music plays]
[groans]
Sophie.
[Nas] What's going on?
Where's Sophie?
Oh, Nas…
[upbeat music plays]
[electronic hum]
What just happened?
-Borb.
-Borb.
[bus creaks]
[calm music plays]
[Misha] Tom? You okay? Where's Sophie?
Did we just fly?
Sophie, you were…
That thing…
What thing?
This thing.
[electronic hum]
[electronic beeping]
He saved you, Sophie.
He saved the bus.
He saved the day.
Oh! Everyone, this is Borb.
Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Borb.
-Beth, you're sure that he's not like--
-No, he's friendly.
[whispering] Okay.
Oh! That means he likes you.
Thanks?
[Chelsea] Wow, he's really cute.
Okay.
Don't crowd around him.
He just levitated a bus.
I think he's earned a rest.
[Josh] He's a softy, isn't he?
So we can trust this one, eh?
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Perfect.
[upbeat music plays]
-[screams]
-[playful music plays]
Let me go!
Wait. No, don't let me go.
Please, don't let me go!
