Nowhere Boys (2013) s03e02 Episode Script

What Happened To Bremin?

Shh! Welcome to Bremin High, Luke.
You remember Principal Bates? Now, I know I'm new here, but as the new principal I will not tolerate this behaviour.
BOTH: Brooklyn for SRC! JESSE: Wasn't that Brooklyn? No-one remembers Brooklyn, Peter or Bates.
It just doesn't make sense that we still do.
Maybe we're immune somehow.
What do we have in common? OTHERS: Nothing.
(THUNDER CLASHES) HEATH: Where is everybody?! (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) @ButterFoxBTFX (STUDENTS CHATTER) (BELL RINGS) Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of .
.
uh, Anne of Who was the second Anne? Who was the second Anne?! Why can't I remember? Hello? Is everything OK in there? Everything's OK.
I'mI'm fine.
-Niccolina? -I said I'm fine! Nicco, open the door, please.
Fair warning - if you don't open the door, I'm coming up.
(CLIMBS ON TOILET) 'Fine' doesn't usually include locking yourself in a toilet.
You wouldn't understand.
What wouldn't I understand? II can't remember.
OK? I've read this page a thousand times but it won't stick.
I know you're a straight-A student, but I think you should be easier on yourself.
Please, just go away.
OK.
But I'll be checking on you later.
NICCO: So, there's no-one in the police station.
JESSE: Nothing.
I don't understand.
What is happening? It's like they've all disappeared.
-No! That doesn't just happen.
-Really? Maybe it does.
HEATH: Hey! Guys.
It's the same all over town - nobody anywhere.
There has to be an explanation.
Bushfire evacuation.
What, with no smoke? Mm.
A gas leak.
-Ebola outbreak? -Zombie apocalypse.
How did I know you were going to say that? -I'm calling Mum.
-You can't.
There's no service.
I've already checked.
(PHONES BEEP) This is so not good.
This is like Star Trek - Next Generation, season four, episode five.
Everyone on the Enterprise disappeared without a trace.
-You cannot be serious.
-Except Dr Crusher.
It was like none of the crew ever existed.
Give it a rest, fanboy.
I'm outta here.
Wait! Can we stick together? Why? Well, bad stuff always happens to people when they don't stick together in these situations.
-These situations?! -Yes! (SCOFFS) I can't be around you people.
-Where are YOU going?! -To find Mum.
She'll be at work.
I guess we're not sticking together.
Maybe we can meet up later.
It'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
I'll live the life I can imagine.
I need to go make sure Quinn's OK.
Wait - I'll come to yours if you come to mine.
Done.
(WIND HOWLS) What? Thisthis doesn't make sense.
Jesse! Wait up! Jesse.
-You didn't know it was for sale? -Does it look like I knew? My sister should be here.
Quinn! Quinn! Where's our stuff? Everything's gone! Quinn! (HEATH CRUNCHES CHIP) Do you have to creep up on people? There was no creeping.
There was crunching, but no creeping.
Seriously, we have to find where everyone's gone.
Could you be any more uptight? You haven't begun to see uptight.
Mum wasn't there.
Alright, I'm not OK about this, but freaking out about it isn't gonna help.
What do you think's happened? Evacuation makes the most sense.
Then, it could just be plain abandonment.
No way.
My parents wouldn't leave without me.
They'll be waiting for me.
Besides, if it was an evacuation, we would have heard the trucks.
We could go back to yours if you want.
Yeah, OK.
But don't think I need some guy to protect me.
Good.
You can protect ME.
Good.
LUKE: (CALLS OUT) Hello? (WIND HOWLS OUTSIDE) I don't get it.
Nuh, no power here either.
There's no moving boxes, everything's put away.
This is crazy.
-Well, maybe your dad tidied up.
-You don't know my dad.
Mum?! Dad?! Your place, now this? Whoa.
-Love your high-concept merchandise.
-It's all Dad's.
Why is everything different? Except us? NICCO: (CALLS OUT) Kayla? Mum? Yiayia.
Never picked you as the girlie-girl pink doona type.
This isn't mine.
I should be up here! It's like I've been edited out of my own life! -Uh, where are we going? -Your house.
(WIND HOWLS) Jesse's house is for sale? -What? -Come on.
(CALLS OUT) Hello? Mum? Where are my magazines? -What about your dad? -Divorced.
Uh Hey.
You should see this.
We sat right here this morning, before school.
(CRUNCH) My brekkie is fossilised! The school - it's the evacuation point for town.
Come on.
Someone might be there.
(CLEARS THROAT) Find it? I thought we were looking for people.
I thought it would be here.
If I knew what you were looking for, maybe I could help.
How come some things are the same .
.
and some aren't? (WIND HOWLS) How do you eat that stuff? Really? A toothbrush? When it's a world of chips and chocolate? Oral health is important.
You guys, you will not believe what we found.
HEATH: No-one.
Hey.
Was there any sign of Quinn? Nuh.
Your folks? How was your place? Same-same, but different.
Pass me a pen.
Is that an IOU for the muesli bar? Perfect.
This is like Next Gen.
Is there an episode where the main character just shuts up? Look, Nicco, just hear him out, OK? Maybe it'll help.
Go.
OK.
Everyone Dr Crusher knew stopped existing.
Everything was different except her.
This is like that, only there's four of us.
Like, four, like the Bremin Four - Felix, Jake, Sam and Andy.
What if their disappearance was something like this? -Are you hearing yourself? -Somethingfreaky? -YOU'RE buying this? -Our families are gone.
We have absolutely no idea where.
And we don't seem to exist.
But you think there's a logical answer? I don't think there is, Nicco.
I'm voting for alien abduction.
Fine.
What happens at the end of the episode, hm? What was the explanation? It was a warp bubble gone wrong.
-A warp bubble?! -Look, I know how it sounds, OK? You really are an idiot! -Oh, come on.
-Don't speak to him like that.
-You can't tell me what to do.
-Oh, what is your problem?! -YOU are my problem! Come on, now, guys, let's just BOTH: Oh, just butt out! -What is the story with you guys? -That's none of your business.
It IS my business, Nicco, if it's just gonna be the four of us.
That's ridiculous.
There's more than four of us.
There has to be.
Don't bother - there's no talking to her.
-I am not staying here! -Neither am I.
Ugh! "And in the red corner" -Can we please stick together? -Why? Nobody wants to.
Maybe we light a bonfire.
Back at school.
And then anyone out there will know where to find us.
Do what you want.
Well, that went well.
(ANIMALS GRUNT) Whoa.
What is that? Haven't you ever heard koalas fight before? -That's a koala? -Yeah.
They live in the gums around here.
I guess it's a new experience for you, huh? Well, you don't often see them in the city cafes.
(CRICKETS CHIRP) (BIRD CALLS) (ANIMAL SCREECHES IN DISTANCE) (SCREECH) Oh! Oh, my -It's you.
-I'm sorry.
-Did I scare you? -No.
It's fine.
There's nothing out there - except really spooky noises.
I heard something too.
-Um, hey, about before -Don't worry about it.
(WIND WHISTLES) No, I'm not freaked out.
Yeah, me neither.
This bonfire - want to check it out? Definitely.
I mean, um, it sounds pretty lame, but .
.
yeah.
Let me grab your stuff.
Oh, thanks.
(HEATH PLAYS BLUES ON HARMONICA) Well, let's just hope there's someone out there to see this fine work.
Attracting attention was a good idea.
We made a fire on school grounds.
That's an automatic suspension.
(PLAYS HARMONICA) Must be hard being a teacher's kid.
Mm, it's OK.
You get used to it.
Move around a lot, though.
Anywhere but here sounds amazing.
Dude, it's not that bad.
OK, maybe not today.
(OTHERS CHUCKLE) What about you? You play football and cricket, you're a hero.
You're a kid like me .
.
you get by.
What about friends from the city? Five schools in four years, it's .
.
kind of hard to make friends.
That would suck.
What about you? What's your deep, dark secret? Nicco's the one with the secret.
Aren't you, Nicco? Come on, tell us how the teacher's pet got into trouble.
Yeah.
How DID you get that detention? Yeah, fess up.
(CHUCKLES) Really? You're letting him off the hook that easily? My deep, dark secret for yours.
What do you say? There's nothing deep or secret about you.
Ooh.
Someone's being a big wuss.
OK.
Prove me wrong.
OK, well, before, you know, when you said your parents wouldn't leave without you What? You think yours would? Maybe.
They're so caught up in their own stuff.
I don't know.
Too busy arguing.
Sodetention mystery.
(CHUCKLES) Nothing big.
She's perfect, remember? (WIND HOWLS) Whoa! HEATH: Uh OK.
Maybe we should go inside.
You don't have to ask ME twice.
Come on, come on, come on! Alright.
Jesse! Hurry up! Hurry! (WIND HOWLS, TREES RUSTLE) Goodnight, Luke.
Goodnight, Jesse.
Goodnight, Heath.
Really? We're doing this? Goodnight, Heath.
(SINGSONG) Goodnight, Jesse.
-Goodnight, Nicco.
-Goodnight, Jesse.
(WIND HOWLS OUTSIDE) Come on! Let's go, let's go.
What even is the time? We should just go back to sleep.
Nicco, you are way too sunshiny in the morning.
We are going in search of intelligent life.
Hey, couldn't we do this at a more civilised hour, maybe? What are you wearing, Jesse? It's my Cookie Monster cardie.
Do you like it? Nicco, what's the plan? Well, we find an alien spaceship and we join the party.
This guy - hilarious.
It can't only be us.
There has to be others.
And we are going to find them, starting with Rochford.
-You want to steal a car? -Not steal - borrow.
The good girl who never breaks the rules - who LIVES for the rules? Are you gonna leave another IOU? -Can you drive? -Ultimate Velocity 2.
I thrash my cousins every Christmas holidays.
OK.
What about driving a real car? On an actual road? OK.
Pick a car.
I already have.
Whoa! I call shotgun.
Are you sure you're gonna need all that? -The keys are here.
Well, if we're trying to get noticed (MIMICS DARTH VADER) Luke, I am your father.
What a sweet ride.
And the jacket? (KEYS JANGLE) (ENGINE FAILS TO START) This is the a bit anticlimactic.
Come on.
Come on, come on.
It's dead.
What about this? No way.
There's just no-one.
Hey.
It's showtime! Say it loud, say it clear! Wake up, Bremin! We're still here! (CAR PULLS UP) Come on.
We can see the whole town from up here.
HEATH: Maybe if you didn't pack so much, Jesse.
Whew! Hey, Jesse, give me the binoculars.
(CAN RATTLES) (WIND HOWLS) Anything? No.
There's no-one anywhere.
It freaks me out, Bremin being so empty.
Same.
Same.
I can see my house from up here.
Yeah, me too.
(SHAKES SPRAY CAN) (SPRAYS) Hey, what's Heath doing? Do you always carry a spray can? Relax.
I got it from the art room before we left.
Typical.
We're in trouble and you're, what, painting stupid body parts? Body parts? Yeah.
You know No, I don't know.
I'm in extension maths - I know what guys are like! "We are here.
" Not a body part in sight.
What do you know? He's being useful.
Yeah.
Well, he could have said.
Not so good with apologies, huh? (CHUCKLES) What? What?! Who knew we needed to lock it? My bag - it's gone! All my stuff was in it! You know what this means, right? Yeah, we're not alone.
Guys, let's get out of here.
Wait - there's no keys.
The distributor cap's gone.
Someone's sabotaged us.
Why would someone do that? To stop us from leaving.
Guys, can we talk about this somewhere else? (THUNDER RUMBLES) That is not a garden-variety storm.
-No kidding.
-We need to go.
Let's get back to the school.
We have to make sure the classroom is secure.
We should set up a roster on who's keeping watch.
Gee, you really like being in charge.
-No, I don't.
-Yeah, she does.
-Control issues.
-Ugh.
Jesse! Niccolina doesn't play well with others.
-That's it.
-Wait! -Nicco.
-Again? That was mean, you guys.
-We should say sorry.
-OK, fine.
She'll be in here, for sure.
Nicco! Go away, Jesse! I'm not coming out.
Just leave me alone! Oh.
I always wondered what it was like in here.
Nicco, I'm sorry.
Leave me alone! What's with all the angst? Come on.
Open up.
-No.
-Please? Come on.
I was only joking.
(OPENS DOOR) Well, it's too much, OK? -What is? -Everything! Can you be more specific? Everyone disappearing, someone's after us, that thing with the sky, and .
.
and I cheated! I'm a cheater.
What? Wait.
Sorry.
What are you talking about? You always get straight As.
Used to, but .
.
lately, I just can't manage everything.
And that's why detention, OK? I freaked out.
II cheated.
And that's why I was in the principal's office.
You were trying to get your test back? I never thought you had it in you.
It's not funny.
It is a bit.
(LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) (CRASH IN DISTANCE) What was that? Someone's out there.
Hello? Anyone there? Who do you think it was? This is creepy.
(WIND HOWLS) Oh Do not say that's just a breeze.
Let's get out of here.
Ugh.
(BOOM!) Whoa! (WIND WHISTLES) LUKE: Ugh! JESSE: Luke! Help me! Luke! It's got me! It's too strong! Luke, come on! Grab my hand.
Grab my hand.
Run.
Run! Come on! Quick! What is that?! (WHOOSH) (WHOOSH) (WHOOSH) (WHOOSH) Uhwha? Wha? (WHOOSH) You guys all saw that, right? What WAS that? (QUIET SIZZLING) Check this out.
Weird carpet burn.
What could have done that? (CLICK!) And what does it want with us? That spooky stuff we saw yesterday.
I can tell Heath's not scared by the way he wasn't freaked at all yesterday.
I know this place.
Guys, looks like a diary.
"Freak storm batters Bremin.
" We'd remember if this stuff had happened.
If it had happened in our world.
It looks like everyone's disappeared.
But what if WE are the ones who disappeared? Luke, stop.
Stop! No, I saw someone! -Who are you? -Gotcha.
