## Episode Transcripts and Timings

Hey, it's Shari, and I have no new leads. None.

0:00:04 0:00:08
-Didn't you get any evidence on Zane at the weekend?

-No!

0:00:08 0:00:12
Come on, guys, I've only just got the band's dynamic working again

0:00:12 0:00:15
after last time.

0:00:15 0:00:18
Zane's picture was on CCTV, Zane is not above suspicion,

0:00:18 0:00:23
Shari can't afford to rule out anyone.

0:00:23 0:00:25
Yeah, I don't think it was him.

0:00:25 0:00:27
Why? Because he's your prom date?

0:00:27 0:00:29
No, because of new evidence!

0:00:29 0:00:31
-He has an alibi?

-No. We just hung out over the weekend.

0:00:31 0:00:35
He's really funny and cool,

0:00:35 0:00:37
and I feel like we really "get" each other.

0:00:37 0:00:39
I don't think the Dixi Killer would "get" me

0:00:39 0:00:42
-in the way that I feel Zane really does.

-Yay!

0:00:42 0:00:44
Look, I'll show you. This is from the weekend.

0:00:46 0:00:48
Shari, I'm going to Laser Maze. Can I borrow your headphones?

0:00:51 0:00:55
Are you playing with your cuddly toys?

0:00:58 0:01:00
No, I'm clearly recreating crime scenes.

0:01:00 0:01:03
It looks a lot like you're playing with cuddly toys.

0:01:03 0:01:05
Look, I don't want it to be him but the message is about hacking.

0:01:05 0:01:10
New space, the CCTV footage.

0:01:10 0:01:11
There's a lot of evidence for Zane being the hacker.

0:01:11 0:01:15
Sid, are you ready?

0:01:15 0:01:16
-Hi, Shari.

-Hi, Zane.

-What are you doing?

0:01:16 0:01:19
-She's...

-Just playing with my cuddly toys.

-OK.

0:01:19 0:01:23
Do you want to come to Laser Maze?

0:01:23 0:01:25
I mean, three is a much better number for strategy games, right?

0:01:25 0:01:29
That doesn't prove anything.

0:01:32 0:01:34
Sid has been going to Laser Maze on Saturdays for, like,

0:01:34 0:01:37
100 squillion years, and he has never invited me along.

0:01:37 0:01:40
Zane must like me.

0:01:40 0:01:42
So I don't think he'd hack me.

0:01:42 0:01:44
Or he overheard you and wanted to throw you off the scent.

0:01:44 0:01:47
You're getting too close and your emotions are blinding your judgment.

0:01:47 0:01:51
Oh! I wrote a song about that.

0:01:51 0:01:53
Also, a squillion isn't a number!

0:01:53 0:01:55
Did you even ask about the CCTV?

0:01:55 0:01:58
Zane never uses the computer with a sticky L key. He told me.

0:01:58 0:02:02
You end up looking like you find everything really funny,

0:02:02 0:02:05
like, "just doing my homework, LOL."

0:02:05 0:02:07
Yeah, or like, "I'm just going to A & E

0:02:07 0:02:09
"after tripping over a broom, LOL."

0:02:09 0:02:11
Guys, Laser Maze?

0:02:11 0:02:14
-Ah, Zane is so nice.

-He is, isn't he?

-It could just be an act.

0:02:15 0:02:21
This video doesn't prove anything either.

0:02:21 0:02:24
Come on, look how well we get along!

0:02:24 0:02:26
You get on really, really well.

0:02:26 0:02:28
Thanks, Isla.

0:02:28 0:02:29
We're meeting up again tonight to look for the backup CCTV footage.

0:02:29 0:02:33
Zane thinks that the files might be on the computer somewhere.

0:02:33 0:02:36
He wouldn't do that

0:02:36 0:02:37
if he thought the backup CCTV footage would incriminate him.

0:02:37 0:02:40
-BEEPING

-Oh! What are you going to wear?

0:02:40 0:02:43
Oh. Zane said he can't make it tonight.

0:02:43 0:02:47
He's a busy person.

0:02:47 0:02:48
He can still get me the CCTV footage.

0:02:48 0:02:51
BEEPING

0:02:51 0:02:52
-He said he can't get me the CCTV footage.

-Why not?

0:02:52 0:02:56
He says it's been wiped!

0:02:56 0:02:58
Oh, no. I've been played!

0:03:00 0:03:04
I don't know, LavenderWhirlingBear.

0:03:09 0:03:11
I can't believe Zane would do this either.

0:03:11 0:03:13
But I need to know for sure.

0:03:13 0:03:16
Hey, it's Shari, and this is Following Zane.

0:03:16 0:03:19
Oh! He's there.

0:03:19 0:03:21
I followed Zane into a print shop. The exact sort of place

0:03:25 0:03:28
that the lost dog posters would have been made.

0:03:28 0:03:30
Shari?

0:03:30 0:03:32
What are you doing here?

0:03:32 0:03:33
Oh, hi, Zane. I'm, I'm, I'm just printing.

0:03:33 0:03:36
Down at the print shop. As are you.

0:03:36 0:03:38
-Do you do a lot of printing?

-Yeah.

0:03:38 0:03:42
There's a big market in printing stuff for people.

0:03:42 0:03:44
Onto mugs, T-shirts, posters, even paper.

0:03:44 0:03:48
Oh, I'm really sorry we didn't get to hang out.

0:03:48 0:03:51
It's just Mimi's mum wants me to do some printing for prom and,

0:03:51 0:03:54
well, she's head of the prom committee,

0:03:54 0:03:56
-so she gets to decide how much time the band gets, so...

-Oh.

0:03:56 0:03:59
But, look, here's a few food coupons on the down low,

0:03:59 0:04:02
and seeing as you'll be paying for me, I plan to eat a lot of cupcakes.

0:04:02 0:04:06
Thanks.

0:04:06 0:04:07
W-What about the CCTV? What happened?

0:04:07 0:04:11
I thought I messaged you,

0:04:11 0:04:13
well, I hoped that you might be able to access the old CCTV

0:04:13 0:04:16
files from the computer's recycle bin,

0:04:16 0:04:18
but I looked for hours at lunch and I couldn't find anything.

0:04:18 0:04:21
I'm not very good with computers.

0:04:21 0:04:23
I thought you got all those messages about hacking Dixi, I thought

0:04:23 0:04:26
you were...

0:04:26 0:04:27
A master hacker? No.

0:04:27 0:04:29
Well, I'm a fixer.

0:04:29 0:04:31
When I say that I can do anything, what I mean is I can get anything.

0:04:31 0:04:36
-Makes sense.

-It does. I know my business.

0:04:36 0:04:39
Well, I'd better get these to Mimi's mum, I'll see you.

0:04:39 0:04:43
-Oh, and I'm really looking forward to prom.

-Me too.

0:04:43 0:04:47
You shouldn't, I'm going to rinse you.

0:04:47 0:04:49
SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:04:49 0:04:50
Huh?

0:04:51 0:04:52
Oh, say no(!)

0:04:55 0:04:56
These posters were done here, in this print shop,

0:04:59 0:05:02
that Zane uses all the time.

0:05:02 0:05:05
Oh!

0:05:05 0:05:06
I so want that to be true, SapphirePancakeTiger,

0:05:10 0:05:14
but I'm going to have to ask Zane straight out.

0:05:14 0:05:17
Hey, it's Shari. And welcome to the bus that time forgot.

0:05:18 0:05:23
No-one's here. No-one.

0:05:23 0:05:27
-Excuse me, um, did the clocks go back last night?

-No.

0:05:27 0:05:31
-Forwards?

-I don't think so.

0:05:34 0:05:36
This is, like, how every Goosebumps story starts.

0:05:38 0:05:42
Where is everyone? No Eve, no Isla, no Mimi, no Chloe.

0:05:42 0:05:47
No Zane.

0:05:48 0:05:49
I'm going to find him at school,

0:05:50 0:05:52
and tell him that I know he's the hacker.

0:05:52 0:05:55
It's time to throw down a showdown.

0:05:55 0:05:58
RINGTONE

0:05:58 0:05:59
Ooh, message.

0:05:59 0:06:00
From my hacked account.

0:06:01 0:06:02
"You're in too deep,

0:06:04 0:06:06
"back off now or you'll wish you never started this!"

0:06:06 0:06:10
Their location is tagged.

0:06:11 0:06:13
The message was sent from school, they're there right now.

0:06:13 0:06:16
Got to get to the computer room, see who's in there.

0:06:16 0:06:19
No running, Shari.

0:06:19 0:06:20
Door's open. This is it. Whoever's in there is the killer.

0:06:21 0:06:25
-Isla?

-Hey, Shari.

-You?

0:06:27 0:06:30
-How could you?

-How could I what? Join the prom committee?

0:06:30 0:06:34
ALL: Hi, Shari!

0:06:36 0:06:38
Hey, what's going on?

0:06:39 0:06:40
I got a message from the killer sent from the computer room just now.

0:06:40 0:06:43
-It's someone in there.

-GASPS

0:06:43 0:06:45
-Am I the killer?

-Did you just send me a threatening message?

0:06:45 0:06:49
-No.

-Then no, the point is, it's someone on the prom committee.

0:06:49 0:06:53
-Oh, well, at least it can't be Zane.

-Why not?

-Because he wasn't in there.

0:06:53 0:06:57
No, but he was. He was working on the band set list for prom.

0:06:57 0:07:00
He left just before you came in...

0:07:00 0:07:01
Shari!

0:07:01 0:07:03
Zane!

0:07:06 0:07:07
-Oh, hi, Shari.

-Don't give me that!

-Don't give you hello?

0:07:07 0:07:11
I know what you did in the computer this morning.

0:07:11 0:07:14
Oh, how did you find out?

0:07:14 0:07:15
Skills, Zane. Skills and good old-fashioned detective work.

0:07:15 0:07:19
-Sounds a bit over the top.

-Oh, really(!)

0:07:19 0:07:21
You don't think it's over the top hacking my Dixi

0:07:21 0:07:23
and putting up posters of me calling me a dog?

0:07:23 0:07:26
-I didn't.

-You just admitted it.

-No, no.

0:07:26 0:07:28
I mean, I don't know what you're on about.

0:07:28 0:07:30
Oh, and suppose you don't know anything about the CCTV

0:07:30 0:07:33
footage that went missing right after you looked for it?

0:07:33 0:07:36
Or that poster I found in the bin at the print shop?

0:07:36 0:07:38
I'm not the only person that uses the print shop.

0:07:38 0:07:40
-They have loads of other customers.

-And you were in the computer room

0:07:40 0:07:43
when I got a message from whoever hacked my account.

0:07:43 0:07:46
-So? That wasn't me.

-Isla said you were on a computer.

0:07:46 0:07:49
Yeah. Printing off the lyrics for a song that I'd written about a girl

0:07:49 0:07:53
I was looking forward to going to prom with.

0:07:53 0:07:55
The girl with the sunshine eyes?

0:07:57 0:07:59
Is that me?

0:08:01 0:08:02
Not any more.

0:08:05 0:08:06
So, I've been working on a song that Zane wrote.

0:08:20 0:08:23
I've done a little demo and I hope you like it.

0:08:23 0:08:26

1. She text me a message

0:08:31 0:08:33

1. I'm left second guessing

0:08:33 0:08:36

1. Does it mean there's something between us?

0:08:36 0:08:39

1. Or is she just messing?

0:08:41 0:08:42

1. She names the game to play it

0:08:43 0:08:45

1. Or she's feeling the same way, and...

0:08:47 0:08:49

1. She's just waiting for me to say it

0:08:49 0:08:52

1. Waiting for me

0:08:52 0:08:54

1. Waiting for me to say it

0:08:54 0:08:55

1. I'm with her and it's all fine

0:08:57 0:08:59

1. The girl with the sunshine eyes

0:09:00 0:09:03

1. Does she even realise

0:09:03 0:09:07

1. All she has to do is smile?

0:09:07 0:09:10

1. I'm flying for a while

0:09:10 0:09:13

1. Reaching brand-new heights

0:09:13 0:09:16

1. Seeing brand-new sights

0:09:16 0:09:17

1. Bathing in the light

0:09:17 0:09:21

1. I'm finding in her eyes

0:09:21 0:09:23

1. My friends say, "Ask her"

0:09:28 0:09:31

1. At least you'll have an answer

0:09:31 0:09:33

1. But imagine what would happen

0:09:33 0:09:36

1. What would happen

0:09:36 0:09:38

1. What would...

0:09:38 0:09:40

1. If I'm faced with laughter

0:09:40 0:09:44

1. How do I face her after?

0:09:44 0:09:46

1. Never friends again

0:09:47 0:09:49

1. I'm not that good an actor

0:09:49 0:09:52

1. I'm with her and it's all fine

0:09:54 0:09:57

1. The girl with the sunshine eyes

0:09:57 0:10:01

1. Does she even realise

0:10:01 0:10:04

1. All she has to do is smile?

0:10:04 0:10:06

1. I'm flying for a while

0:10:08 0:10:11

1. Reaching brand-new heights

0:10:11 0:10:13

1. Seeing brand-new sights

0:10:13 0:10:15

1. Bathing in the light

0:10:15 0:10:18

1. I'm finding in her eyes

0:10:18 0:10:21

1. I'm with her and it's all fine

0:10:21 0:10:24

1. The girl with the sunshine eyes

0:10:24 0:10:28

1. Does she even realise

0:10:28 0:10:32

1. All she has to do is smile?

0:10:32 0:10:35

1. I'm flying for a while

0:10:35 0:10:38

1. Reaching brand-new heights

0:10:38 0:10:39

1. Seeing brand-new sights

0:10:39 0:10:42

1. Bathing in the light

0:10:42 0:10:46

1. I'm finding in her eyes. #
