00:00I don't know.
00:30I don't know.
01:00I need more, so many more children.
01:03It shall be done, mistress.
01:04At breakfast times, I am so hungry, I could murder a bowl of cornflakes.
01:27Does that make me a serial killer?
01:30You're not laughing.
01:32It wasn't very funny.
01:34But I've been studying jokes.
01:36They're structuring history, and that's what you do.
01:37You swap words around.
01:39So that was a joke?
01:40Well, I don't think it'll get you on the telly, but yeah, I guess.
01:43So what makes a joke funny?
01:45I've read that timing's important.
01:46How exactly?
01:47I don't know.
01:48It's complicated.
01:49Is the context important?
01:51Why does every single thing with you lead to about 500 questions?
01:55Come on.
01:55I want to get a new bag.
01:56You've got lots of bags.
01:58You can never have too many bags.
02:00Another thing I don't understand.
02:01Don't worry.
02:02You're a guy.
02:02You're not meant to.
02:07What do you reckon, soldier?
02:09Do you think you're man enough to have a go?
02:12I have to go shopping.
02:15Well, that's kind of answering my question.
02:17Come on, Luke.
02:19There you go.
02:20Cut price vouchers in case you change your mind.
02:24Thanks.
02:25Come on.
02:31Posters are up.
02:35I'm doing a local radio piece at three.
02:38And I've given the half-price tickets to a street team to shift.
02:41You wait, Mr Kootleg.
02:43The last few weeks' takings will be nothing compared to what we've got coming.
02:48Oh, guess what?
02:50We've got a birthday party shoot-em-up booked in for tomorrow.
02:53Let's get with me.
02:54I grow tired of your talk, Mr Grantham.
02:57Just bring me children.
03:01This is Lance.
03:10Oh, thank you, Mrs Metcalf.
03:14I can't begin to imagine what the last three days have been like.
03:18How you're coping.
03:19I keep thinking my head's going to break.
03:23That's what it feels like.
03:26I'm on edge every minute.
03:27I'm thinking that he'll walk up the path.
03:32Or the police will knock on the door and tell me.
03:34Children do turn up safe and sound.
03:36There's still every chance.
03:37Someone may have seen something important without knowing it.
03:40My story might make them realise that and come forward.
03:43I hope so.
03:45Has anything like this happened before?
03:46I mean, Lance has never run away after an argument.
03:49We never argue.
03:50Me and Lance, we've only got each other now.
03:56We know that life's too short for rowing.
04:00Oh, I see.
04:03I'm sorry.
04:05Well, perhaps you could tell me what happened on Saturday.
04:09Nothing happened, only Lance never came back.
04:11He was going out to meet his friend, Brandon.
04:16They were going down the arcade.
04:19He lives for his video games.
04:21I knew Brandon never saw him on Saturday.
04:25Lance never showed up.
04:27He just vanished into thin air.
04:32Help me get my boy back, Miss Smith.
04:35Please.
04:35Please.
04:39Please.
04:41Do you mind?
04:52Oh, sorry, Sarah Jane.
04:54Clyde was just bogging around with Maria's new bag.
04:57I'm sorry?
04:58Mucking.
04:59I was mucking around.
05:01Or messing, you know?
05:02Messing around.
05:03You've got to listen to the words, Luke.
05:04They're important in slang.
05:06You can't improvise.
05:07Sorry.
05:08We'll get out of your way.
05:09No, no, wait.
05:10I've just been to see the mother of that boy that went missing.
05:13Your friend, Lance Metcalfe.
05:15What do you know about him?
05:16Friend.
05:16Don't get me wrong, Sarah Jane.
05:18I hope he's OK.
05:19But the corporal's only been at our school a couple months
05:21and he's not really been up for making friends.
05:24The corporal?
05:25Lance.
05:26Lance Corporal.
05:29And did you know his father was in the army...
05:32was killed in Iraq?
05:33Nicknames aren't always funny, Clyde.
05:35Yeah, well, I hope this boy didn't run away because he was bullied.
05:38Hey, don't get all over me about it.
05:40It was Luke that made up the nickname.
05:41People laughed when I came up with it.
05:43I thought that was good.
05:44It wasn't Luke's fault and no-one knew about Lance's dad.
05:47He didn't tell anyone.
05:49He didn't have much to do with any of us.
05:51Most break times he was too busy with his Nintendo.
05:54But I made a joke out of his name.
05:56I hurt him.
05:57Maybe Lance wanted friends, just like I did.
06:00Instead, I probably made him run away.
06:02Oh, no, Luke.
06:03Oh, it's all my fault.
06:04No, Luke, Luke.
06:07I'd better go and talk to him, please.
06:08No, let me.
06:10I did drop him in it.
06:12Oh.
06:14Oh.
06:15Is he finding it really hard, Maria, to fit in?
06:17No harder than the rest of us.
06:20Clyde will talk to him.
06:21It'll be all right.
06:22OK.
06:24How's Lance's mum?
06:25Oh, going out of her mind with worry.
06:28But you don't think there's anything weird about Lance disappearing, do you?
06:31I mean, you're not doing this story because you think there's aliens involved or anything.
06:35I don't see aliens behind every bush, you know, Maria.
06:38I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
06:40No, I know.
06:41I just wondered, that's all.
06:43Now, this friend of Lance Metcalf's, Brandon, do you know him?
06:46Hi, Brandon.
07:09What do you want?
07:09This is my friend, Sarah Jane.
07:13Hi.
07:13I want to ask you some questions about Lance.
07:18That's him.
07:20Halo?
07:21Yeah.
07:22That's Lance.
07:23He's the nuts.
07:24Is that good?
07:26Very.
07:26I was meant to meet him on Saturday in the park and was going to go to the arcade.
07:33And did you?
07:34Well, he never showed.
07:36I thought the storm may have put him off.
07:37There wasn't a storm on Saturday.
07:39Are you calling me a liar?
07:40Oh, no, of course he's not.
07:41But Saturday was warm and sunny.
07:42I remember.
07:43I was in the garden until dark.
07:44Yeah, well, it was weird, wasn't it?
07:46It only lasted a minute.
07:48All these clouds came up the hill.
07:50And then it just poured on me.
07:52And then the clouds just vanished.
07:54And it was blue skies again.
07:55I mean, it was weird.
07:58Frightening?
08:00Yeah.
08:11Man, for a while there, I thought you'd gone AWOL along with Lance.
08:14I've been looking all over for you.
08:16Why?
08:17Because that's what friends do when one of them's hurting.
08:19They try and help.
08:20And friends shouldn't grass each other up.
08:22I'm sorry.
08:23How did you grass me up?
08:25Look, we'll get back to Slang 101 another day.
08:27Ding, ding, new class.
08:29How the corporal doing a runner has got nothing to do with you.
08:32Don't call him that.
08:33He's not here.
08:34It doesn't matter.
08:35I wasn't trying to be cruel.
08:36I was trying to be funny.
08:37Yeah, well, not everyone's cut out to be me.
08:40See what I mean?
08:46Good luck.
08:55I am here, mistress.
08:56Time grows short.
08:57You must bring me children.
08:59Good luck.
09:00Fresh, strong children.
09:02I will, mistress.
09:04You have my vow.
09:05This hack-up of a lad, it never ends.
09:08You shall have what you need, mistress.
09:11Soon you shall have all the children you need.
09:13Have all these kids really gone missing in a year?
09:23Mr. Smith, we need to cross-reference these disappearances with reports of localised freak weather conditions.
09:29I will assimilate with meteorological databases.
09:32Processing initiated.
09:34I don't get it.
09:36What does this storm have to do with lands going missing?
09:38Well, that's what we're going to find out.
09:40I don't think Brandon's the sort of boy to be scared by any normal storm.
09:44Do you?
09:45Maybe there is something weird about Lance's disappearance after all.
09:50I have a data match for 24 children.
09:5324?
09:54Their disappearances all coincide with instances of unexpected but short-lived torrential rain.
10:02All towns and cities.
10:03Why would it rain like that?
10:05Insufficient data.
10:06Well, Mr. Smith, maybe we can get you some more.
10:10So, what are we doing here exactly?
10:15Pass me that spanner.
10:17What do you know about energy?
10:19It can't be created or destroyed.
10:22Very good.
10:23Now, a storm is created by and in turn creates energy.
10:28The residue hangs around in the atmosphere for a while and that could tell us quite a lot.
10:32Now, put those rubber gloves on and pass me those two metal cylinders, one at a time.
10:39No, I said put the gloves on first.
10:42Those are made from sybrionite flux.
10:44Touch them both at the same time without protection and you complete an electro-neurological circuit.
10:48Put you up cold for an hour.
10:51Oh.
10:52You know, we should get my dad over.
10:54He's good at DIY.
10:56We could say it's my science project.
10:58He's got lots of tools.
11:01Eddie, have you got one of these?
11:03Stand back.
11:03Sometimes, it feels like I'll never fit into this world.
11:10When I made a joke about Lance's name, it felt like a breakthrough because people laughed.
11:15But instead, it was another social miscalculation.
11:18Gaff, Luke.
11:19It was a gaff.
11:20Last week, you said a gaff was where a dude lives.
11:23Oh, it's different.
11:24Just stick to the text, okay?
11:25You see, things are so complex.
11:27Complex?
11:28You want to be grateful your old man didn't run off with your Aunt Melba.
11:31Just listen to me.
11:33I'm an expert in complex.
11:34So you can explain things to me?
11:35Just ask Encyclopedia Clydanica.
11:38Go on, anything you want.
11:38Take your best shot.
11:39What's the purpose of games?
11:42Why play games?
11:45This.
11:47This looks like war.
11:49But it's a game.
11:50Why?
11:52It's just a laugh.
11:54But they pretend to kill people.
11:55Okay.
11:56You want to find out?
11:58Let's do it.
12:05Mistress is worried.
12:07It has been a month, yet our returns are minimal.
12:10I can't help it if the kids are low grade.
12:12We must find better.
12:14We must work harder.
12:16Your mistress should come down.
12:17We could stick her in a sandwich board.
12:19Stick her down and out some fryers.
12:21Do not mock my mistress.
12:23That was a joke, okay?
12:24We serve at her pleasure, Mr. Grantham.
12:26Yeah, sure, sure.
12:27Neither of us is irreplaceable.
12:29Not I, and certainly not you.
12:39Ta-da!
12:41Ah, right.
12:42This is where Brandon got caught in the rain.
12:44Come on, let's get her going.
12:46Okay.
12:49Ha!
12:50Right.
12:51Now, turn the dial.
12:54On the left.
12:566.02 for the electromagnetic pulse shake.
12:59I've just got to calibrate the phone on that.
13:04Right switch to 15, then the middle to 2.6.
13:07Now then.
13:08Right.
13:09Fire up!
13:10Wow!
13:18Again.
13:19Oh.
13:27Nothing.
13:27Once more.
13:32This doesn't make any sense.
13:33There should be some sort of reaction.
13:34What's happening?
13:41It works.
13:42My machine works.
13:43It works.
13:49Particles identified as entanglement shells.
13:52Okay.
13:53And do you want to tell us what an entanglement shell is?
13:55Exactly.
13:56Used by climate engineers to terraform hostile planet environments.
14:00In order to support life, they stimulate rainfall.
14:02Alien doesn't need terraforming.
14:04We get too much rain as it is.
14:06If I might continue.
14:07Please.
14:08Entanglement shells can also be a byproduct of some form of transdimensional energy dispersal.
14:13By what?
14:16Teleportation.
14:17Aliens.
14:18I knew it.
14:19Lance was kidnapped by aliens.
14:21Oh, they've been kidnapping people from Earth for decades, one reason or another.
14:24Question is, why Lance?
14:26And from where?
14:27Mr Smith, can you pinpoint the exact centre of the storm on Saturday?
14:31Weathered geostationary satellites record every hour and are unlikely to have registered
14:36such a brief meteorological anomaly.
14:38I will access a military satellite.
14:41You shoot out people's senses.
14:44If you get hit, your gun goes down for five seconds and you lose life.
14:47You get 100 lives.
14:49The person at the end, the most lives left, wins.
14:52Last man standing kind of thing.
14:54But I still don't get the point.
14:54You just wait till the adrenaline starts pumping.
14:57You'll see.
14:57Attention!
14:58Warriors of the future!
15:00Take your places if you're being adored!
15:02Prepare to do battle!
15:04Show no mercy!
15:05Take no prisoners!
15:07This is a fight for survival!
15:09Only one can be the ultimate warrior!
15:12Battle commences in ten seconds!
15:14Well, Grantham, have you brought me good stock?
15:17Oh, I won't get your hopes up just yet.
15:20Four, three, two...
15:23Take no prisoners!
15:25For the battle!
15:32This is animated data from a NATO satellite covering Western Europe.
15:36Taken on Saturday at 16.04 hours.
15:39Run it again and slow it down.
15:45People never really vanish without a trace.
15:48There's always a footprint to tire track something.
15:50You've just got to know where to look.
15:52Stop!
15:53Show me what's right there at the heart of it.
16:00I know that place.
16:02We were there earlier, me and Luke.
16:04Oh.
16:09Come back 3,000.
16:35Cover me, cover me!
16:38Watch out!
16:39Go, Luke, I'll touch you!
16:47Get in me!
16:49Well, well, well.
16:53You're not such a mummy's boy after all, are you?
16:58Someone chose promise.
17:00A couple of kids.
17:01One of them is really something.
17:04Who are you going for?
17:06It's like he's got something to prove.
17:09I smell warrior blood.
17:13Mistress will be pleased.
17:15Damn.
17:16Oh, I wouldn't make a spaceship on it just yet.
17:21Let's see if he makes it through level two.
17:24It's not marked.
17:27Yeah.
17:27Hey, number one.
17:42And look, you came second.
17:44Yeah, beginner's luck, I guess.
17:46Maybe we should go again.
17:47I thought you said it was for kids.
17:48I thought you said it was for kids.
17:49Yeah, it is, but it's all part of your education.
17:52Don't worry, I'm not enjoying it or anything.
17:54That's a pretty impressive score, soldierate.
17:56Clyde says it was beginner's luck, but I've got better reflexes and hand-to-eye coordination
18:00than most kids.
18:01You do?
18:02Wow.
18:03Well, you make one hell of a future warrior, soldier.
18:05You mean I'd be good at killing people if the eventuality arose?
18:10I'm betting you don't get invited to too many parties, do you?
18:13I was showing him what to do.
18:15He's Luke, which makes me Obi-Wan Kenobi.
18:18Hey, soldier seven, how's it going?
18:21Okay, listen up.
18:22Me and Mr. Kudlak, he's the proprietor, we run a special competition for the more skilled
18:27competitors.
18:28It's level two.
18:29Now, what do you think?
18:30Are you up for it?
18:31Yeah.
18:32Good.
18:37Welcome to the unique gaming experience that is Combat 3000.
18:42Zap those drones.
18:44Hi.
18:45Um, yeah, I'd like to book a party.
18:48I've heard a lot about this place.
18:49Apparently, it's the... the nuts.
18:52Okay, let's agree to never say that ever again.
18:56I wouldn't if I were you.
18:58I'm sorry?
18:59Freur, is it?
19:00I'd take her to see a film.
19:02You don't want to come here.
19:03It's mental.
19:04Used to be lovely and peaceful till Mr. Grantham took over.
19:08Mr. Grantham?
19:09Mm.
19:10Him and his partner, Mr. Kudlak.
19:12Not that anybody ever sees him.
19:14Would it be possible to speak to him?
19:15Do you know, it always seems to be raining since last year.
19:17It's been raining since they moved in.
19:19My sisters offered me part time in the tanning salon.
19:23And I'm thinking, well, you only live once.
19:27Tell you what, why don't we just go through?
19:28I can see you're busy.
19:30Hey.
19:31Welcome to the unique gaming experience.
19:37You see him?
19:38He does kickboxing.
19:39She does athletics for the county.
19:41And he's in the Football 18.
19:43This is wicked.
19:44It's like Premier League for laser tech.
19:46Okay, guys.
19:47Well done for getting through to level two.
19:51New arena, new objective.
19:56You will be split into four disbursement groups.
19:59You will access the arena from here, here, and here.
20:03When the first siren sounds, you break the cover.
20:07When the second siren sounds, the mission begins.
20:11Mission?
20:12The first soldier to make it through the door, down the corridor, and into this chamber,
20:20will win their place in the World Championships.
20:24They have a laser tag World Championships?
20:26That's kind of why I said it.
20:28Now, this time, you don't get a hundred lives.
20:31Okay?
20:32You get ten.
20:33Ten?
20:34Oh!
20:35Lisa, do you think so?
20:37A word of advice, son.
20:39The ultimate warrior of the future is always on guard for surprise attacks.
20:54Seems like a good place to start.
20:58The others are playing by the ogres, to be the last men standing.
21:15If we work as a team, we'll have the strategic advantage.
21:18Like I said, piece of cake.
21:28Oh!
21:29Oh!
21:30Oh!
21:31Oh!
21:32Oh!
21:33Oh!
21:34Oh!
21:35Yeah!
21:36Grantham!
21:37Grantham!
21:38What are we looking for?
21:39You'll know when you find it.
21:40Just see what bubbles to the top.
21:42Does that mean you don't know?
21:43Not as such.
21:44Perhaps I can help.
21:49Mr Grantham, I presume.
21:51Not Mr Kudlak.
21:52No, I hear he likes to stay in the shadows.
21:53I wonder where that is.
21:54Who are you, and what are you doing in my office?
21:57Sarah Jane Smith, journalist.
22:02Who's she?
22:03My work experience girl.
22:05It was either this, or putting up scaffolding.
22:09I'm doing a story on laser games, and their effect on aggression levels among young people.
22:13No comment.
22:14Now get out!
22:15Any comment on Lance Metcalf?
22:18The boy that disappeared three days ago.
22:2424 children have disappeared recently.
22:26Manchester, Brighton, Leeds, Inverness.
22:28All cities where there's a Combat 3000, every time in the middle of a freak storm.
22:32Still no comment, Mr Grantham?
22:34Do you know why people come to Combat 3000, Miss Smith?
22:39Hmm?
22:40They come for the guns.
22:51A soldier that fights alone, dies alone.
22:54These two will do, Mistress.
22:57Good Kudlak.
22:58Send them to me.
22:59Send them to me.
23:00In the name of the Emperor, it shall be done, Mistress.
23:03I think that's it.
23:04The door to the World Championship.
23:05How many lives do you have left?
23:06Six.
23:07You?
23:08Four.
23:09I think we're well ahead of the opposition.
23:10Are you ready?
23:11Remember what the manager said.
23:12Be ready for a surprise attack.
23:13I'm ready to rock.
23:14I'm ready to roll.
23:15I'm ready to roll.
23:16Move!
23:17Oh, please don't be offended.
23:18But this isn't the first time I've had a gun pointed at me.
23:19And guns from other planets.
23:20Oh, afraid I've rather lost count.
23:21I think we're well ahead of the opposition.
23:22I think we're well ahead of the opposition.
23:23Are you ready?
23:24I think we're well ahead of the opposition.
23:25Are you ready?
23:26Remember what the manager said.
23:27Be ready for a surprise attack.
23:28I'm ready to rock.
23:29I'm ready to roll.
23:30Move!
23:31Oh, please don't be offended, but this isn't the first time I've had a gun pointed at me.
23:45I've rather lost count.
23:46Will you die happy if I tell you that I'm impressed?
23:49I'll die happy when I get Lance Metcalfe and the other 23 children you've kidnapped back to their parents safe and well.
23:55Don't worry about them, Miss Smith.
23:57Children adore war games.
24:00It's raining.
24:01They're powering up the teleporter.
24:02Get rid of them, Grantham.
24:03Now!
24:04Don't you have any conscience about what you're doing with those children, Mr. Grantham?
24:05Don't you have any conscience about what you're doing with those children, Mr. Grantham?
24:09Let me tell you about conscience.
24:10A conscience is like a stone in your shoe.
24:13He's raining they're powering up the teleporter get rid of them Grantham now
24:30Don't you have any conscience about what you're doing with those children mr. Grantham. Let me tell you about conscience
24:35A conscience is like a stone in your shoe. You cannot begin to imagine the relief once you get rid of it
24:46Goodbye miss Smith. Just a moment, please
24:52Bit of lippy last request
25:01We don't have much time we have to find that transport and shut it down
25:05What happens now do we get like trophy or something? I don't know
25:10I'm thinking this is kind of weird. Come on. It's just the game
25:20What exactly does a match of transport to look like?
25:25Look on glide
25:31What's going on
25:35No! Be proud of them
25:39Where have you sent them? Where?
25:41Into darkness
25:51Whoa-ho! Looks like things are finally picking up round it
25:53You're a disgrace to your own species Grantham
25:57Keeps from all over the country must have been going missing
25:59I doubt that men like you fare too well in prison
26:01I must have rid of all this warrior stuff
26:03All we did was win a game of laser tag
26:05Oh yeah, we rock
26:07It's not Coodlake that calls all the shots
26:09Whatever's going on across the galaxy has got nothing to do with us
26:13Prepare the recruits for transportation to the front
26:15Yes, mistress
26:17Coodlake doesn't see it like that
26:19Oh, I'll be back Mr Grantham
26:21I'll be back
26:23I'll be back
26:25I'll be back
26:27I'll be back
