Hello?

(CRAZY LAUGHTER)
♪ La, la, la, la. ♪
I found the autopsy records.
Henley covered up their deaths. That's why Remus lit the fire.
Henley didn't just cover them up.
- He was their father. - He couldn't be.
Chester!
Hey!
Hey.
What were you doing?
BOTH: Nothing.
Have you seen Chester?
- Nope. - What's the 4-1-1?
I think Chester's planning something stupid. Is he here?
Nimrod, you seen him?
Their mother was Henley's housekeeper.
She always hoped he'd marry her.
But he didn't want anyone to know about them.
After Kiba was born, she realised he'd never love them,
so she took them to live far away.
He thought if he paid for everything
that that would be enough.
Huh.
Expensive gifts and shiny toys.
Who needs their parents to actually just love them, right?
What? Why are you asking me?
You think 'cause I was one of the first here,
Remus and I have some sort of bro code
to have each other's back no matter what?
Or you think I know Remus might be up to something
and I'm just here bludging
because I don't want to break my promise?
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
Something on your mind, Nimrod?
He built all of this for them.
The whole fun park for his two invisible children.
He even let them have their own special day.
(CAMERA CLICKS)
Just the two of them,
with no crowds or queues to get in the way.
Or to see them either.
Remus took Fester and V into the Mirror Maze.
What?!
There was just one problem.
The park, it...
..wasn't entirely finished.
Henley never met a corner he couldn't cut.
- (GAS HISSING) KIBA'S VOICE: Remus!
Maybe we should get out of here.
She said the same thing.
She knew this place wasn't safe, but...
..but I didn't listen to her.
'I'?
(TENSE MUSIC)
You don't know what's in there.
- What's in there? - (SIOBHAN SCREAMS)
Those mirrors, they're...
..they make you see...
..the thing you're most scared to look at.
Nimrod, what's going on in there?
There might still be a way to fix it.
How?
- It's his sister. - Remus has a sister?!
She's been trapped in there since day one.
He's always been obsessed
with trying to find a way to get her out.
I think...he found it.
If you had the chance to help her...
- ..wouldn't you do it? - Do what?
He made me deliver a message on Halloween
to Baba Vanga.
I think she's helping him do something bad.
I've got to stop him!
Would you take her place?
No.
It's...not the way it works.
She's gone.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's not me! Get out of there!
(GLASS CURTAIN TINKLES)
Hey, let us in! Hey!
(BANGS ON DOOR) Let us in!
DESTINEE: We could use Willo as a battering ram.
Oi, what?
I've got a better idea.
That's not fair.
I know, but there's no coming back.
There is. You just have to say it.
Say what?
Say you'll stay.
VIOLETTA: (FAINTLY) Chester, why are you acting like this?
Say that you'll take her place.
- It has to be a choice. MAPPLETHORPE: V?
- Chester! - Say it!
MAPPLETHORPE: Where are you? V?
That's not Chester.
(SINISTER MUSIC)
REMUS'S VOICE: Good luck finding your way out now.
Mapplethorpe? (VOICE ECHOES)
V? (VOICE ECHOES)
You won't find your way out! (VOICE ECHOES)
The sun will rise soon, and then you'll be trapped here forever.
KIBA'S VOICE: Remus! - Kiba!
KIBA'S VOICE: Remus!
Let me out!
Hello?
(MELODIC SINGING)
Yo, Maggotboy! You good?
Are we gonna help her out or what?
She helped all of us.
If something bad happens to her,
I will hold you personally responsible for all eternity.
We need a ladder. Or a rope.
Or someone strong and muscular and hot to pull them out.
I'm on it.
(KEYBOARD CLACKING FAINTLY)
Mum?
I'd like to talk to you.
So, talk.
You know Grandmother's been sick.
We're going to go home to take care of her.
What about Dad?
Your father and I have spoken.
We think it's best if he stays behind.
You know things have not been good between us.
So you're just abandoning him?
- It's not that simple. - Yes, it is!
Why would I go anywhere with you?
Because I love you very much, my little apricot.
Don't say it.
If you leave, I'll never speak to you again.
It'll be like you never existed.
(ECHOING WHISPER) Never existed...
And that would hurt me very much.
Don't go! Mum! I didn't mean it!
KIBA'S VOICE: Remus! - Where are you? (VOICE ECHOES)
- Kiba, where are you? KIBA'S VOICE: Remus!
I don't like it here. I want to go home.
REMUS'S VOICE: I'm coming! I'm trying to find you.
KIBA'S VOICE: Remus!
- Remus! - (GRUNTS ANGRILY)
Kiba. Yeah, I-I-I'm trying to find you.
KIBA'S VOICE: I don't like it here. I want to go home.
Chester?
(TENSE MUSIC)
MAPPLETHORPE: We should climb the rollercoaster.
We'd get the best shot up there.
(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
So you didn't think to invite us to meet your aunty,
but then you come knocking when you need a favour?
Exclusion hurts, Nimrod.
Come on, guys. I didn't mean to upset you.
It's just you're a lot to take in,
given you're so...
..uh...
..good-lookin' and everything.
- We're listening. - Xander.
If it wasn't for V, you wouldn't have gone on a date.
Don't you want to save her life?
This is for V?
Why didn't you say?
VIOLETTA'S MUM: I'd like to talk to you.
MIRROR VIOLETTA: So, talk. - No!
No!
MIRROR VIOLETTA: Why would I go anywhere...
- I'd like to talk to you. - No!
MIRROR VIOLETTA: I'll never speak to you again.
MAPPLETHORPE: We should climb the rollercoaster.
We'd get the best shot up there.
What if we find her film roll?
Mapplethorpe - fixer of lives!
(MIRROR VIOLETTA AND HER MUM'S VOICES OVERLAPPING)
No!
MAPPLETHORPE: We should climb the rollercoaster.
We'd get the best shot up there.
(MIRROR VIOLETTA AND HER MUM'S VOICES OVERLAPPING)
No!
MAPPLETHORPE: We should climb the rollercoaster.
We'd get the best shot up there.
What if we find her film roll?
Fixer of lives!
NIMROD: OK, ready?
- Heave! - (ALL GRUNT)
- I'm heaving! DARIUS: Not in the tuchus!
Not in the tuchus!
NIMROD: Heave!
This is weirder than that show Lost. You ever seen it?
We don't have time for your dated references, Siobhan.
Wait! I'm remembering something.
(FUN KIDS CONTINUING HEAVING)
NIMROD: Put your back into it! (GROANS)
- Could you remember faster? FUN KID: We need a ladder.
I remember where there's a ladder.
DARIUS: This isn't working.

Are you Remus's sister?
He thinks I am.
But...you're not?
She didn't wake up.
- Kiba! KIBA'S VOICE: Remus!
I don't like it here. I want to go home.
Remus! (VOICE ECHOES)
Kiba!
Why is he doing this?
- He thinks he can free her. - But...she didn't come back.
That's not going to stop him.
Why are you wearing that blindfold?
Nobody's ready to look at me.
I am.

Mum?
I'm sorry.

We're on the roof. This way.
We'll get you out.
(HOPEFUL WHIMSICAL MUSIC)
- How do I get up? - Jump!
- Hup! NIMROD: Just a bit higher.
Come on, V!

Chester.
(DRAMATIC DRUM ROLL)
(URGENT MUSIC)
Chester's still in there.
It's almost sunrise. You have to look after yourself.
Go!
Chester.
It's me. Mapplethorpe.
Mapplethorpe's dead.
And it's my fault.
What? No.
That's not true.
I let him go.
I could've stopped him.
But I let him go.
No.
It's not your fault.
I chose to go. Nobody made me.
MAPPLETHORPE: We should climb the rollercoaster.
We'd get the best shot up there.
MAPPLETHORPE: It doesn't matter what you did.
Nothing would've been different.
It was nobody's fault.
I just...
..shouldn't have come here.
It was a stupid accident, and it's not fair.
But there's nobody to blame.
Especially not you.
(GASPS)
You are my best friend. You made every day fun.
And when I was with you,
I never cared about what anyone else thought.
You made me feel stronger.
Invincible.
I need you to know that.
I need you to keep being my friend.
But that only works if you're alive.
(POIGNANT MUSIC)
(ETHEREAL MUSIC)
Come on! We've got to get you out.
Wait!
There's something we have to do.
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
Why should you get to leave?
That's not her.
Remus.
My name's Romulus.
R-o-emus.
That's not her.
Because she never woke up...
..did she?
(BREATHES SHAKILY)
Everyone else got to wake up.
You know?
But not her.
It's not fair.
You have to face this.

DOCTOR: Grief isn't a punishment.
It's not here to wear you down.
It's something you hold hands with as you walk through life.
CHESTER: I keep thinking about things
I could've said or...done differently.
Just replaying moments over and over again.
It's not what he would've wanted.
DOCTOR: What would he want?
(SIGHS)
He'd want me to live.
That's what I owe him.
(TV PLAYS)
(MESSAGE ALERT)
No way!
MAN: Dear Chester.
I was very intrigued to receive a message recently
- from a friend of yours... - Who's Neville Moore?
..telling me what a big fan of my work you are.
And after looking at everything your friend sent me,
I'm delighted to say that I am also a big fan of your work.
Now, as you may know, I am on the selection committee
of an international creative arts high school in Berlin.
The school was established for teenagers just like yourself
to have a place where you can grow and nurture your voice
amongst like-minded people.
I presented them with your folio
and we're thrilled to be able to offer you a place.
So?
Can I go?
They said yes!
My dad's gonna come with me and work remotely for a year,
and I've got to call Mum every day and go to therapy,
but I can go.
Congrats.
It was you who sent that message.
Wasn't it?
You made this happen.
You've got to grow up eventually, right?
(FUN KIDS CHAT)
Thank you.
(CHESTER SNIFFS) I don't want to say goodbye.
Then don't.
(CHESTER SOBS)
(VOICE BREAKS) Go live for me.
Make it count.

Chester!
Friends for another day?
(LIGHTS CLICK OFF)
VIOLETTA: Asphodel FM were getting rid of these.
You can finally play some newer music.
This...looks...awesome!
Sure.
How's the name hunt going?
I think I got it. Grimba.
It's certainly...unique.
Thought you might need this.
Is this steel?
You wanted...these?
Don't even think about it.
Somebody wanted to give you this.
Bridget!
VIOLETTA: How's he doing?
Keeps to himself. Barely speaks.
But he's also never been nicer, so swings and roundabouts?
Nimrod pretty much runs this joint now.
I don't think there's anything in that black bag for me?
Well, they were out of phlegm packs, but...
Is this...?
Oh! OH! Oh, my God!
VIOLETTA: I can't stay.
Mum's visiting and she's taking me out to dinner,
but I'll see you soon.
BOTH: Be strange but not a stranger!
FUN KID: Hey, what did you get?
FUN KID: Come on! - (ALL EXCLAIM)
TIGGER: Ugh... A book? NIMROD: Shut your trap, Tigger!
MAPPLETHORPE: The Awesome Adventures
of Fester and Maggotboy.
SIOBHAN: Let me see!
Ooh, I look hella cute!
Oh, that time the bird ate my finger!
- Cool! - He gave me a little goatee!
Oh, wow, Whackball Wednesday!
CHESTER: "Friends for another day."
Oi! Don't spoil it!
Start from the beginning, dingus!
FUN KIDS: Story! Story! Story! Story! Story!
"Once there was and once there was not,
"deep in the woods on the edge of town,
