Creeped Out (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Spaceman - full transcript

Spud and Thomas go for a ramble through the woods looking for a den, and finds much more than they bargained for.

The Curious.
They say he collects strange tales.

And if you ever hear
his whistle,

you know something creepy
is about to unfold.

No one knows where he's from
or where he's going to.

Perhaps not even himself.

Does he even have control
over his actions?

Have you ever felt
uncomfortable in your own skin?

What if there was
a reason for that,

one that you wished
you never went searching for?

I have finally found you.

You are not theirs.



If you stay, you will die.

Well, it's decision time.

If in doubt,
go with the cheapest.

Oh, ignore your father.

A girl only gets one 15th.

Come on, Pearl.
Which theme's calling out?

That one there.

The sea. Perfect.

Ooh, we could have an
enchantment under the sea dance.

Don't you need actual guests
for it to be considered a party?

People will come, P.

No one clicks accept
'til a few weeks before anyway.

You're fine.

My party's in four days.



Oh.

What if we got Danny
on the case?

You could start putting
the feelers out.

Forcing people to come.

Yeah, that'd make
for a fun atmosphere.

Not forcing.

Your brother's just...

you know, a bit more...

Popular?

Confident is the word I think
your dad is looking for.

I would've picked legend

but I'll settle for confident.

Hope to see you there.

Well?

They were wondering why I was
asking about your birthday

instead of you.

Well, duh. Me too.
What did you say?

I told them Mum and Dad
forced me to.

You didn't.

Do I look like an amateur?
Of course I didn't!

I've got an image
to protect too, you know.

Hey, Suzie.

Hey, Danny. Focus.

What did they say?
Are they coming?

They received your invite
with interest.

What? What does that mean?

It means they can't
say for sure.

It's not cool to be certain, P.

It's not personal,
it's just the way it is.

What, and that's it?

That's the best the great
Danny Stocks could do?

Relax!

This is just phase one,
generating conversation.

Return to the ocean, child.

Was that you?

Was what me?

You didn't hear that? Really?

See, it's stuff like this
that makes you look weird.

I can't work
in these conditions.

You can't help me.

I can't help you
if you don't help yourself, P.

Return to the ocean...

Return...

Come...

A thousand people petitioned
for conservation zones.

2000 helped
with our beach clean-up

and everyone here signed up
to my marine action group.

Oh, you haven't.

But you will, though.

See, it's things like that.

Filthy humans' plastic bottles
choke sea life.

Come here.

What's your name? Pearl.

My beautiful assistant Pearl
is going to demonstrate

what the plastic bottle
is doing to marine life.

Jump.

As hard as you can.

Go on.

Nice one. Thanks, Ellie.

Ah, my faithful assistant.

Thank you, Pearl.

How'd you get so many people
to listen to you?

Humans are suckers.

I never got anyone's attention
like that before.

Thank you, Pui.

Well don't thank me. You jumped.

If you're not getting people's
attention,

maybe you should be
doing that more.

What?

Jumping.

Don't think too hard.
Act on instinct.

People respond to that.

Why are you looking so pleased
with yourself?

Got an RSVP. Two, actually.

What did I tell you?

You've gotta learn to trust me.

I gotta drain the tank.
Meet ya by the gate.

What are you?!

Let me show you your power.

Unleash your power, child.

Take to the water.

Let me show you how.

That's it.

I will show you.
Let me show you the way.

Pearl?

Pearl!

Help!

You're okay!

Yeah.

Why, what's wrong?

What?

P. You were in there
for like, ages.

I think you need to calm down.

I don't think you're getting
how huge this is.

No one can hold their breath
for that long. No one!

What else ya got? X-ray vision?

How many fingers am I holding up?
Don't be stupid.

What about levitation?

Any notable eye
laser beam action?

Danny, stop it.

I'm not some dumb
comic book character.

Seriously, P.
This is how they all start out.

The social outcast,
the school weirdo.

Thanks.

You know what I mean.
Late bloomers.

Then they discover their gift,
like you did today.

I'm not special.

You so are.

What?

We're adopted, right?

Yeah.

I've always known
who my parents were,

but Mum and Dad said
they never knew yours.

And?

What if they do?

Maybe the answer lies with them.

Every hero has its origin story.

We've gotta find yours!

What, did you bring
the whole filing cabinet?

How am I supposed to know
what we're looking for?

The one that says
"Adoption stuff" maybe?

Hurry up. They'll be back soon.

It's all boring paperwork.

Dunno what I expected.

What's this?

Go on. Your turn now.

What about now?
Do I look more gorgeous?

Oh, that's the one.

That is stunning.

And now?

It's actually an improvement.

Oh, stop, you!

What's that?

What's it doing out here?

No.

No that... that can't be me.

We tried everything.

To find out where you came from.

How any of it was possible.

All our research went nowhere.

In the end what it came to

was that a baby was alone and
needed someone to look after it.

We've loved you
with all our hearts ever since.

We gave you a home,
a loving upbringing

and an annoying little brother.

We never thought about the day
we'd have to tell you.

You were our daughter
in every way.

I come from the sea.

It doesn't matter
where you come from, Pearl.

Only how you're raised.

This is so awesome.

What am I?

Go!

All right, everyone.
That's a pass.

Hand me that towel, would you?

What's going on with you?

I don't know.

I feel different.

Under 11 seconds, P.

Who swims 50 meters
in under 11 seconds?

I don't look at the clock.

I just like the way it feels.

Ooh! You've done
your hair different!

Mum means you've washed it.

Oh, shush, you!

You look great, sweetheart.
Thanks, Mum.

And don't worry.

I'm sure those RSVPs
are gonna start coming soon.

24 people? How?

You know what to do...

Do it.

Are you leaving?

My time here is done.

Wow!

Look at you.

I wanted to thank you.

Your advice worked.

I've got a birthday party
coming up

and for the first time ever,

everyone wants to come!

It's a rare gift, influence.

What are you gonna do
with that power?

Use it on teenage
birthday party invites,

or do you wanna
change the world?

What can I do?

What can you do?

Pearl, if you can convince
one person of something,

you can convince hundreds
of anything.

That's how change happens.

Is that your next rally?

Can I come?

Sure you can.

Why don't you come early
and help me set up?

Don't you just love it here?

It's just stunning.

Away from hordes of stinking
humans and their pollution.

Breathe it in.

Come with me.

What?

Nothing, I just...

I feel so at home.

It's hard to describe.

Try.

It's like,

like I can breathe properly
for the first time ever.

Hey, Suzie. Hiya!

Everything just felt right.

You wouldn't understand.

This Pui woman,
how well do you know her?

Enough to know that she's right.

Humans are destroying
the planet, Danny.

Pui's got another rally
next week.

I can't wait.

Hey, you dropped something.

I said hey! P, whoa.

Just pick it up yourself if
you're that worried about it.

Here. Don't.

See how dangerous
littering can be.

Return to the ocean, child.

Return.

Come... home.

What was all that
at school today?

Pearl?

These dirty humans
need to learn.

Dirty humans?

That's it, isn't it?

Ever since you come back
from that beach

it's like land
is your kryptonite.

Just go, okay?

This Pui woman,

I feel like she's
poisoned your mind.

Don't talk about her.

You filthy little land dweller.

What? Listen to yourself, P.

You've lost it!

She's brainwashed you.

Shut up!

What's happening?

Pearl, stop!

Please, stop!

Pearl!

How did you do that?

Danny, I'm so sorry.

Hello?

I got your address from...

Pui?

Hello?

Pui?

Anyone here?

Pearl.

What were you doing in there?

Breathing?

You and I, we're the same.

Come with me.
I'll explain everything.

For as long
as there have been humans,

there have been
creatures of the sea.

Not all of us climbed
out of the swamp.

Mmm.

Some of us chose to stay,

and we made it a paradise.

Are you a mermaid?

Is that what I am?

Mermaid?

These are human concepts.

They poison our history
like they poison the sea.

It was you.

I was guiding you,

helping you
discover your powers.

You couldn't have told me
like a normal person?

Your mind has been corrupted
by the humans who stole you.

You had to learn
who you were on your own.

Come. I'll show you everything.

Pearl!

Don't listen to her, Pearl!

What are you doing here?
I followed you.

I've come to set you home.
She is home.

What, you expect her
to live in the sea

with a bunch of singing crabs?

She will be a god there.

Here's she's nothing.

A filthy land-dweller.

Don't listen to her, P.

She's a stinking,
barnacle-sucking sea monster.

Stop!

No!

Your powers aren't designed

to invite humans
to birthday parties.

They're for wrecking their ships
upon rocks.

Stop! You're hurting him!

You're a siren, Pearl.

The natural enemy
of the human race.

Join me.

That's not the way I was raised.

Enough!

Enough.

You would betray your own kind?

Reject your true home?

This is my home.

So be it.

Dirty human.

You're not ready!

Your party starts in an hour.

No, it doesn't. I cancelled it.

I don't need randoms
at a party to have fun.

It's my birthday and I just
fancied spending it here,

with my family.

Aww!

Oh!

Hand me the vomit bag, someone.

What happens when danger

is not somewhere out there,

but inside you?

How do you hide from it then?

How do you protect
the ones you love

if the monster is inside of you?
