## Episode Transcript and Timings

So, I've blown it with Zane!

0:00:04 0:00:06
Prom is in two days and he'd rather go with eyebrows dinner lady than me.

0:00:06 0:00:10
If I'd have backed off, Zane would still be my date.

0:00:10 0:00:12
If I'd have let things lie, I wouldn't have kids barking at me

0:00:12 0:00:15
in the street because of those posters.

0:00:15 0:00:17
So I know what you're thinking, Dixi murderer left me a message

0:00:17 0:00:20
and I should listen, right?

0:00:20 0:00:21
Wrong! Because I've got a message for you, Dixi murderer,

0:00:21 0:00:25
you think I'm beaten? Hmm?

0:00:25 0:00:27
You think I'm going to back off?

0:00:27 0:00:29
I don't know what you want, I don't know why you're doing this,

0:00:29 0:00:33
but I do know that I will find you, I have the skills to track you down.

0:00:33 0:00:39
In fact, I have a whole new plan,

0:00:39 0:00:41
so maybe you're the one who should be scared...

0:00:41 0:00:44
SCREAMS

0:00:44 0:00:45
Syd, you are such an idiot!

0:00:45 0:00:48
Yeah, you should definitely be very afraid of my sister.

0:00:48 0:00:50
-Why are you so annoying?!

-Why are you pretending to be Liam Neeson?

0:00:50 0:00:54
Er, duh! I'm leaving a message for the killer

0:00:54 0:00:56
so they know the whole Zane thing hasn't put me off.

0:00:56 0:00:58
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Zane thing? You need to leave my mates alone.

0:00:58 0:01:02
I've still not replenished my potion store from last time you messed up.

0:01:02 0:01:05
Er, this is slightly more important than your lame game, Syd.

0:01:05 0:01:09
-We were meant to go to prom together.

-What?

-He's my date.

0:01:09 0:01:12
Was my date.

0:01:12 0:01:14
-He asked me...

-Ergh!

-Well, technically he negotiated.

0:01:14 0:01:18
Do not want to know, yuck!

0:01:18 0:01:19
Whatever, you're just jealous because you don't have a date.

0:01:19 0:01:23
Yeah, that's what you think.

0:01:23 0:01:25
What?

0:01:25 0:01:26
Anyway, the point is yesterday may have gone wrong,

0:01:26 0:01:29
but I'm not giving up.

0:01:29 0:01:31
I have a new plan.

0:01:31 0:01:33
That message could have only come from someone on the prom committee.

0:01:33 0:01:36
That's Zane and Isla, Chloe,

0:01:36 0:01:38
Mimi, Mimi's mum, Murdo, Miss Johnson.

0:01:38 0:01:43
And they'll all be at the tech rehearsal tomorrow at lunch.

0:01:43 0:01:46
All my suspects, all in one room, I just need a way in.

0:01:46 0:01:49
RINGTONE Aha!

0:01:49 0:01:52
Hey, Shari, just got your message on Dixi.

0:01:52 0:01:54
That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I had such a...

0:01:54 0:01:58
a good time being dancer for your video.

0:01:58 0:02:01

1. There are no bad moves

0:02:01 0:02:03

1. There are no sad moves. #

0:02:03 0:02:05
Can I be backing dancer at the prom?

0:02:05 0:02:07
That so sweet! Oh, Shari! I mean, honestly, you don't have any rhythm.

0:02:09 0:02:15
But we can work on that at the tech rehearsal.

0:02:15 0:02:18
Oh, yeah, the tech rehearsal.

0:02:18 0:02:21
But isn't that prom committee only?

0:02:21 0:02:23
-Oh, not if you're with the band. Oh...

-What?

0:02:23 0:02:26
It's just this is kind of a band decision.

0:02:26 0:02:30
And now Zane isn't speaking to you, again, I don't want to make him mad.

0:02:30 0:02:35
Oh.

0:02:35 0:02:36
You know what?

0:02:36 0:02:38
Leave it with me. I'll see what I can do.

0:02:38 0:02:40
-Aw, thanks, Isla.

-I'll even bring in your costume. Laters.

0:02:40 0:02:44
Please let Zane say yes. I have to get to that tech rehearsal.

0:02:46 0:02:51
And you know, if he could stop being mad at me, that would be nice too.

0:02:51 0:02:56
And also, not to be greedy, but if Zane does say yes,

0:02:56 0:03:01
and Isla could forget to bring my costume, that would be great.

0:03:01 0:03:04
Ooh!

0:03:04 0:03:06
New Dixi message.

0:03:06 0:03:08
Huh?

0:03:08 0:03:10
Anonymous user?

0:03:10 0:03:11
They've left a link!

0:03:18 0:03:21
This is it, guys! One click and this whole mystery could be solved.

0:03:21 0:03:25
Wait! Wait! Wait, wait!

0:03:27 0:03:28
No, no, no, no, no!

0:03:28 0:03:30
Now people tell me!

0:03:35 0:03:38
Well, better late than never, RoseHoppingReindeer.

0:03:38 0:03:41
Scare cam.

0:03:43 0:03:45
-Raaaaaah!

-SHE SCREAMS

0:03:46 0:03:49
You've lost your phone, Syd.

0:03:49 0:03:50
This is goal cam.

0:03:50 0:03:52
Raaaaah!

0:03:54 0:03:56
-Argh!

-Pwned!

0:03:56 0:03:57
Hey, it's Shari.

0:03:57 0:03:58
I've just got back from school, and Isla gets freaked out

0:03:58 0:04:01
because I can do this thing with my eyes, like this.

0:04:01 0:04:04
Nobody else can do it, Eve tried and...well...

0:04:04 0:04:07
-Raaaah!

-SHE SCREAMS

0:04:07 0:04:09
Ha, ha! Very funny, Syd.

0:04:12 0:04:14
But I've got more important things to deal with right now

0:04:14 0:04:17
than your hilarious attempts to scare people.

0:04:17 0:04:19
Hey, it's Shari,

0:04:21 0:04:22
and this is trying to fix the virus that's wiped out my computer.

0:04:22 0:04:26
-Mouse?

-It uses a touchpad.

0:04:26 0:04:29
Yeah, but it's not responding.

0:04:29 0:04:31
Every time you click it you get a million pop-ups.

0:04:31 0:04:33
Oh, thank you, Dr State-the-Obvious(!)

0:04:33 0:04:35
-Do you think I hadn't noticed?

-Hey, I'm only trying to help.

0:04:35 0:04:38
I'm not the one who clicked on some random link from a stranger.

0:04:38 0:04:40
Don't you know you never click on anything

0:04:40 0:04:42
when you don't know where it's come from?

0:04:42 0:04:45
Yeah, I do now!

0:04:45 0:04:46
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be narky,

0:04:46 0:04:49
but if my computer dies, I've lost everything.

0:04:49 0:04:52
Not just Dixi - all my files, all my photos, all my music, all my videos.

0:04:52 0:04:57
Maybe you just need a software patch?

0:04:57 0:05:00
OK, where do I get one of those from?

0:05:00 0:05:02
You download one from a help site. A recognised and trusted one.

0:05:02 0:05:06
OK, well, let's just do that, then.

0:05:06 0:05:08
-We can't.

-Why not?

-Because your computer is broken.

-Aaargh!

0:05:08 0:05:12
You can just get Syd to put the patch on a USB stick.

0:05:13 0:05:16
No, remember what happened the last time I dragged him in to this.

0:05:16 0:05:19
-OK then, Murdo?

-No.

0:05:19 0:05:21
I haven't completely ruled him out as a suspect.

0:05:21 0:05:23
I can't trust anyone from the prom committee.

0:05:23 0:05:26
The only person I can be sure of is you.

0:05:26 0:05:29
Well, I can't fix it, so the only thing is to do a factory reset.

0:05:29 0:05:33
Well, why didn't you say so?

0:05:33 0:05:34
Yeah, but I don't think you want to do that

0:05:34 0:05:36
because it'll wipe your whole hard drive.

0:05:36 0:05:39
-It's where your files are stored.

-I know what a hard drive is.

0:05:39 0:05:43
So, no factory, no reset.

0:05:43 0:05:46
You can take it to a repair shop?

0:05:47 0:05:49
Oh, OK, leave it. We'll just look at it again after school.

0:05:50 0:05:52
We've missed the first bus and the need to speak to Isla.

0:05:52 0:05:55
For now I'll just use my phone, although, by the way

0:05:55 0:05:57
things are going, it'll probably randomly blow up at some point.

0:05:57 0:06:01
Ka-boom!

0:06:01 0:06:03
Sorry.

0:06:03 0:06:04
-Isla.

-Hiya.

0:06:05 0:06:07
Did you speak to Zane and the band about me being a backing dancer?

0:06:07 0:06:10
-Yeah.

-And?

0:06:10 0:06:12
-They didn't go for it.

-Oh.

0:06:12 0:06:16
Was it Zane?

0:06:16 0:06:17
-Did he say no because he's still angry at me?

-It wasn't just Zane.

0:06:17 0:06:20
We took a vote and it was unanimous. Everyone said no to you as a dancer.

0:06:20 0:06:24
Everyone except you, right?

0:06:24 0:06:26
Right?

0:06:26 0:06:28
Oh, Shari, I'm sorry. It's only because you're a terrible dancer.

0:06:28 0:06:33
Right, yeah, thanks a lot, Isla.

0:06:33 0:06:35
Oh, I just need to get in that tech rehearsal.

0:06:35 0:06:38
I want to see all the suspects from the prom committee.

0:06:38 0:06:40
It's getting worse. The killers infected my computer with a virus.

0:06:40 0:06:44
But you can come to the tech rehearsal, we're filming it,

0:06:44 0:06:47
but only from the back of the hall.

0:06:47 0:06:48
You can be on stage with us and get close ups.

0:06:48 0:06:50
And do all of this kind of stuff.

0:06:50 0:06:52
OK, then.

0:06:52 0:06:54
Yes, that's brilliant, Isla(!)

0:06:54 0:06:56
And the best part is you'll still be wearing the costume.

0:06:56 0:06:59
Great. Er, wait, sorry, how is that the best part?

0:06:59 0:07:02
That way you'll still look like part of the band,

0:07:02 0:07:04
you'll be part of the show.

0:07:04 0:07:05
Thanks, I think. Hey, what about Zane?

0:07:05 0:07:08
-Will he be cool with me being there filming?

-It was his idea.

0:07:08 0:07:11
BELL RINGS

0:07:11 0:07:13
Thanks, SapphireBanjoSlug.

0:07:19 0:07:21
Well, I am about to go deep into the heart of the prom committee,

0:07:21 0:07:24
so I'll make sure I'm on my guard.

0:07:24 0:07:27
Hey, it's Shari.

0:07:27 0:07:28
And this is the tech rehearsal, which means,

0:07:28 0:07:31
I'm in the room with the killer.

0:07:31 0:07:34
Someone in this room murdered my laptop.

0:07:34 0:07:39
Someone cunning.

0:07:39 0:07:41
Someone cold blooded.

0:07:41 0:07:43
Someone utterly ruthless.

0:07:43 0:07:47
OK, well, we're dealing with a master of disguise here.

0:07:47 0:07:50
-There you are!

-Oh, hey, Isla.

-I've got a camera covering the stage,

0:07:50 0:07:53
you could get some backstage shots while I do the sound check.

0:07:53 0:07:58
I told you, he's the one who suggested you film here.

0:07:58 0:08:01
He's not angry with you any more, he's just sad.

0:08:01 0:08:05
OK, so document a hard-working band as they set up for a major gig.

0:08:05 0:08:09
-Thanks, Isla.

-No worries, anything is better than you doing this again.

0:08:09 0:08:13
I don't look like that.

0:08:13 0:08:15
Not as long as you don't dance.

0:08:15 0:08:16
Then maybe I should take off the dance costume?

0:08:16 0:08:19
No, Shari, it looks great. Anyway, break a leg.

0:08:19 0:08:23
Not really! That's just a thing we showbiz people say.

0:08:23 0:08:26
-No dancing!

-Great(!)

0:08:27 0:08:29
First I lose my Dixi page, then my laptop, and now my pride.

0:08:29 0:08:35
Nice. Fantasia-hippo look is so you.

0:08:35 0:08:38
Yeah, well, nice hair(!)

0:08:39 0:08:42
She does have nice hair.

0:08:42 0:08:44
Why didn't I just join the prom committee back when Mimi asked me?

0:08:44 0:08:47
Cos you said you had better things to do than an extreme

0:08:47 0:08:49
makeover on the school hall.

0:08:49 0:08:51
Did I really say that?

0:08:51 0:08:53
Shows what I know.

0:08:53 0:08:54
Speaking of me being stupid, about yesterday,

0:08:54 0:08:58
about me going off on one when I thought that you were...

0:08:58 0:09:02
But I don't think that any more.

0:09:02 0:09:03
The prom is tomorrow, so, if you want,

0:09:05 0:09:08
I could still bring the snacks and my sunny eyes.

0:09:08 0:09:12
-Sunshine eyes.

-Right.

0:09:12 0:09:14
So how did that song go again? Just out of interest.

0:09:14 0:09:18
You'll have to wait. Maybe I'll play it for you tomorrow.

0:09:18 0:09:21
-Are you ready to video us?

-Yet, of course.

0:09:21 0:09:24
But my camera lets me spy on all my prime suspects at the same time.

0:09:24 0:09:29
It could be anyone in this room.

0:09:29 0:09:31
-Except you, of course.

-Well, yeah.

0:09:31 0:09:34
It's not like I know how to hax Dixi.

0:09:34 0:09:36
-I mean, who even has the skills to do that?

-Eve.

0:09:36 0:09:39
-Yeah. Eve could totally do that.

-No, that's not... Of course it's not Eve.

0:09:39 0:09:43
I mean, what's she doing here, Eve's not even on the prom committee.

0:09:43 0:09:46
-Er, yes, she is.

-Um, no,

0:09:46 0:09:48
-Eve thinks this whole prom stuff is super lame, Mimi.

-Oh, really?

0:09:48 0:09:53
So why has she spent the last two weekends helping Murdo with lights?

0:09:53 0:09:56
She's been on the committee for, like, weeks.

0:09:56 0:09:59
The last two weekends?

0:09:59 0:10:02
But Eve told me she was at her dad's.

0:10:02 0:10:04
She said her phone died.

0:10:04 0:10:07
She couldn't have...

0:10:07 0:10:09
It can't be Eve...

0:10:09 0:10:10
Can it?

0:10:11 0:10:12

1. No question, my besties and me

0:10:21 0:10:23

1. About as close as we can be

0:10:23 0:10:24

1. We tell each other everything

0:10:24 0:10:27

1. And I mean everything

0:10:27 0:10:29

1. No messing My besties and me

0:10:29 0:10:32

1. We're not afraid to have a dream

0:10:32 0:10:33

1. And if we fail or we succeed

0:10:33 0:10:36

1. We do it as one. #
