- We've been called out to a possible B&E. - Breaking and entering. Not 'B&B'. That's 'bed and breakfast', which is not technically a crime. - Couple have come home from their holiday and believe someone might be inside. - Finally! - Hello. Good evening. - Hi. Good evening. Hey, we- I turned the lights out and locked all the doors and windows before we left, yeah? - Yep? - Our home is being violated. - OK, have you seen any signs of a break-in? - Someone is in there. We heard them. - Well, just because you hear something doesn't mean it's real. I heard if you put your phone into a microwave it recharges it, but... look at the state of that. - Is that a iPhone 12? - iPhone 4. - O'LEARY: Hey, guys. - iPhone 4? Is it insured? - Who cares about a phone? - Well, they said I'm not- - There is something in there. (LOUD CLATTERING, CLANGING) - Something is in there. - That is actually quite unusual. We'll go and check it out. ('WELLINGTON PARANORMAL' THEME) Captions by Able. www.able.co.nz So, the property owners have said there's no sign of a forced entry, but a big part of our job is what you don't see, so it's 50% deduction, 50% negotiation. - And 20% perspiration. - I already did- I already had 100%. - Why didn't you save some for me? - Too late. - What about negotiation? - New Zealand Police! Are you gonna come peacefully? (THUNDEROUS CLANGING) - Guess not. (DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) (THUD!) (GROANS) (THUD!) (GROANS) (THUD!) Oh! - You OK? (THUD!) - Ah! (THUD!) Oh, I've got a dead arm. (STRAINS) - I don't think it's gonna work. - (GRUNTS) Calling for backup. (THUD!) (THUD! THUD!) - That's not working either. - D'you want the keys? - Yes, please. - There we go. - Good catch. (KEYS CLATTER) - That's the car key. (DOOR CREAKS) - It's actually already open. (DOOR CREAKS) - The police! Comin' in. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (CLATTERING IN DISTANCE) WHISPERS: Something doesn't feel right. - WHISPERS: Yeah, it seems like more than a standard break-in. (FLOORBOARDS CREAK) (TENSE MUSIC) - O'Leary, look at this. - What is it? - Sardines and whipped cream. Who would eat that? - No, look. - Blood! - With that amount of blood loss, we're certainly looking at a loss of life. What're you doing? - Tomato sauce. - I mean, anyone that loses that amount of tomato sauce won't be happy. (CRASH! FOOTSTEPS THUD OVERHEAD) Come on, it's upstairs. - Upstairs. (TENSE MUSIC) - Shh! - Shh. WHISPERS: Quiet now. OK, you ready? Three, two, one... - Police! - Coming in! (EERIE MUSIC) (OMINOUS CREAKING) - MINOGUE: What was that? - I dunno. (CREAKING CONTINUES) Keep looking. (CLATTERING) Was- Was that you? - No. (BREATHES SHALLOWLY) (CREAKING, CLATTERING) MINOGUE: Something's in here. D'you think it's the ghost? - What? (DOOR CREAKS, SHUTS) - WHISPERS: I've trapped it in here. - You've trapped it in here with us! - I was acting on instinct. (CLOTHES HANGER RATTLES) - O'LEARY: Wait, wait. Wait. (GASPS) There. Shh, shh. (O'LEARY BREATHES SHALLOWLY) Ha! (CLOTHES HANGERS RATTLE) (EXHALES) (RUMBLING, CLATTERING) (FURNITURE SCRAPES, GLASS SHATTERS) Pursuing on foot! - Copy that. (TENSE MUSIC) - Door! - It's locked! - We're currently pursuing a suspect who may or may not be a ghost but is definitely invisible. I mean, we think we're pursuing it. OK. - Go, go! - Hey! - Corner it! - Don't- Stay there! Stay there! (FENCE RATTLES) (CLATTERING) Whoa. O'LEARY: This way! This way! (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) It's going over the fence! - Through the fence! - Pursuing on foot! - I'll help you! - Yeah, push. (MINOGUE STRAINS) You've got my foot stuck in the fence! MINOGUE: Go! Go! (THUD!) Coming over, O'Leary! - O'LEARY: Go get the car! Get the car! - I'll get the car! (PANTS) (MUSIC CONTINUES) - Excuse me, sir! Excuse me, sorry, did you see an invisible man just walk past here? - No, I didn't see anything, mate. (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS THUD) - Wha-? (CLANGING) Stay back! Stay back. (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS THUD; LOW, MENACING GROWL) Ha! Got you! You're cornered! Nowhere to go! - Who, me? - What? - Me? - No! - Oh, righto. Not the Taser! That's the last line of defence, Minogue! - Huh? (ZAP!) - Aargh! No! (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES, CREATURE SNARLS) - O'Leary, I got it! I actually got it! Ha! (THUD!) - O'LEARY: Wha-? Minogue! (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS THUD) - I've got it, O'Leary, I've got it! - You have to hold on tight, Minogue, OK? Don't let go! - No, it's got me, O'Leary. It's got me! - OK, just hold on to the Taser. - Don't let it go! Now it's got both of us, O'Leary. It's got both of us! - Hold on, though, that's what I'm saying. - The tables have turned! The tables have turned! - Hold on to it! (SNARLING) - I've got its legs! - I've got it! - Get it. Get it. Get it! (SNARLING) (THUD!) - What?! Help! - Aargh! (GROWLING) (BOTH GRUNT, PANT) (GROWLING CONTINUES) - Get in the car! OK, you've got the right to remain silent. Does he have the right to remain invisible? - You know the rules better than me, O'Leary. Certainly remaining invisible. (GROWLING) Hey! Whoa. - OK, if you could please- - Pretty handsy, this one. - ...refrain from kicking the back of my seat, please. (LOW GROWLING, SLURPING) - (LAUGHS) It ti- - What's-? - It tickles! Ugh! - Hey, Sarge? - Yes. - Um, there's- there's nothing to see here. - All right, then. I'll just go back to what I was doing. (CLEARS THROAT) - Oh, no, no, sorry, Sarge. Um, there's nothing to see because our suspect's actually invisible. (SNARLING) - Invisible? - Yeah. (CREATURE SLURPS, GROWLS SOFTLY) - (GASPS) I see. Uh- Or- Or I don't see. - Mm. - Amazing. Uh, uh, OK, I'm gonna need a full report from you. Uh, Minogue, you go and process the suspect as per usual. Invisible or not, they've still got rights. - Copy that, Sarge. Come on, mate. (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS THUD) (DOOR CREAKS) MINOGUE: Uh, we're here at the processing room. I will take their fingerprints and their mugshot,... (LOW GROWLING) ...uh, and also a swab. Uh, preferably oral. (SOFT THUDDING) (STRAINS) He's quite strong,... (LOUD GROWLING) ...and he's now refusing to cooperate. Come on, mate! If you just- (SNARLING) The next step in the process is to get the individual's photo, which is then stored on a national database. Uh, we'll just ask you again - no pulling any faces and no smiling. In three, two, one, say cheese. (CAMERA FOCUS BLIPS) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) That felt like a good one. So, the next step in the process is to take the individual... - (GROWLING) - ...to the interrogation room, which can sound quite scary, but it's really more of a conversation pit, uh, where we take suspects and force them to tell us everything they know. - What we could be dealing with here is maybe some kind of experiment gone wrong or a visitor from another dimension - uh, an invisible dimension, if you will. Regardless, we still need to see who's in the hot seat. - That's right, and obviously, body language is a very big part of interviewing suspects. - Correct. This is why I have authorised the use of our thermal vision goggles. - Oh! You're giving off a lot of heat, Sarge. (SWITCH FLICKS) - Uh, thank you, Parker. How about you look at the suspect? - PARKER: Oh yeah. (QUIET SLURPING) Oh, Sarge! Oh, no, this isn't good, Sarge. (SWITCH FLICKS) - What is it, Parker? - That is not a man! (PANTS) - MINOGUE: Is it a lady? - (WAILS) - Uh, this may not be human. (PARKER CONTINUES WAILING) Minogue, you might wanna uncuff yourself from the suspect right now. Now! Code red! Red. Very red. (PARKER WAILS, CREATURE GROWLS) Code red! Red. Very red. (PARKER WAILS, CREATURE GROWLS) * Uh, it would seem that we have some kind of invisible monster in our custody, but we don't know exactly where it is. We would be using the goggles, but they're currently charging. - Yeah, so, the batteries have actually run out, because somebody took them home for personal use over the weekend. (FOOTSTEPS CONTINUE) - I don't think it's in here. - I mean, we have actually lost track of suspects before, but it's very unusual for it to happen whilst in custody and, um, in a locked room. - PARKER: Hey, guys, it's really hot in here, actually. Quite stuffy. I might just get some fresh air and stuff. - Don't open the-! - Don't do that! (FOOTSTEPS THUD, CREATURE SHRIEKS) (THUDDING FOOTSTEPS RETREAT) - (SIGHS) - I think it escaped. - Really (?) So, we're currently using the thermal goggles whilst on charge by using this extension cord. (PARKER YELLS) (THUD!) - (GROANS) I just tripped over the cord. - Actually, the number-one trip hazard in the workplace is extension cords, so be careful out there. - I can see something, O'Leary! In pursuit! (THUD!) - There's a wall there. - I know that. - The suspect is rotating and pulsing on the spot on the other side. Everybody back! This is a safety issue. - (GRUNTS) - Everybody move back! I'm going in. - OK, go in. (DOOR OPENS, MINOGUE COUGHS) - In pursuit of the suspect for breaking and entering, escaping custody and failure to appear. (O'LEARY GRUNTS) - Giving him slack. - We're losing visual. Oh, no. What is it, Minogue? (MINOGUE SCREAMS) Coming in! In pursuit! - PARKER: In pursuit! In pursuit! (MICROWAVE BEEPS) - Ugh! Phwoar! - Huh. - O'LEARY: What is that? - That is foul. - SIGHS: Congratulations, Minogue. You just found my breakfast burrito. - It's dinnertime. - I'm pretty sure this is as far as I can go, anyway. - O'LEARY: With the suspect on the loose, we've decided to evacuate the station. Um, we have had to abandon the thermal googles, as the extension cord couldn't actually fit around the entire station. - I still reckon it'll reach if we use the cable from the printer. - Oh, no, we can't do that. Last time we unplugged the printer, it took me all day to reinstall... - (BOTH) ...the driver. And then it kept telling me to 'replace cyan'. - Whenever there's an error with the printer, I just leave it for the next person to deal with. - You guys finished talking about the, uh- the printer? So, what we're gonna have to do now is probably just wait for the thermal goggles to recharge, and then- - Actually, I've got an idea. (CLEARS THROAT) We can't see it, but we can hear it. It might be invisible, but it still makes sound. - MINOGUE: Mm. - So I reckon if we all stay very, very quiet and turn the lights off, we might be able to even out the playing field. - (EXHALES) Good idea, Sarge. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (LOW GROWLING NEARBY) (CREATURE HUFFS, GROWLS) (MAAKA WHISTLES) WHISPERS: Hey! Shh. (LOW GROWLING) - (MOUTHS) (LOW GROWLING CONTINUES) (PARKER PANTS) (GOOFY RINGTONE PLAYS) - Oh. (RINGTONE STOPS) Oh. Hi, Mum. - Parker! - Hang on, what's in the foyer? - We're in stealth mode, Parker. Get off the phone! - Mum, sorry, we're in stealth mode. I'd better go. OK, bye. (MAAKA SIGHS) Love you too. Bye. (LOW GROWLING) - O'Leary, can you please tell me how much charge is left on those goggles? - Uh, I got one, two,... - (PARKER PANTS, GASPS) - Guys- Sorry- - ...maybe three bars. - Sorry, 'scuse me, 'scuse me, 'scuse me. - We have- - Sorry, 'scuse me. (LOW GROWLING NEARBY, PARKER PANTS) Can you see my secur- (SCREAMS) (SNARLING, FOOTSTEPS THUD) (PARKER SCREAMS) (SCREAMING CONTINUES) - Go, go, go! - PARKER: Help me! (SCREAMS) (COMMOTION) - Oh! - Get it, O'Leary! (PARKER WAILS) - MINOGUE: Careful! Stronger than it looks, O'Leary! (GRUNTING, BLOWS LAND) MINOGUE: Ow! Ow! - I've got you on three counts of assault against an officer- (SMACK!) Four now. (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) (CREATURE SNARLS, OFFICERS GRUNT) - O'Leary! - What?! - You want a piece o' me? Hey? Jiu-jitsu! (THUDDING) (GROANS, GURGLES) (CREATURE SNARLS) - No, no, no- No, let go! - (CHOKES, COUGHS) (PANTING, GRUNTING) - We're just trying to detain the suspect at the moment, and I think we're giving it our best shot. Ultimately, it's a very tricky situation, um, but- Hey, guys, it's escaping! (FOOTSTEPS THUD) - Hey, you are not authorised to use that keycard! (BEEP!) - Emergency lockdown! (GRUNTS) (ALARMS BLARE) (CREATURE SHRIEKS) - O'LEARY: Ugh! Ugh! - PARKER: I just think I threw up a little bit. - MAAKA: This thing's massive. And it's hideous! - O'LEARY: I think it's escaped. - O'LEARY: I think it's escaped. * (DOGS BARK IN DISTANCE) So, we're currently using the thermal goggles, cos, uh, the suspect did actually escape. Disappointing result. I mean, it's not always better work stories. - MINOGUE: Can see a whole bunch of thermal stuff on the ground. Must be the monster's blood. (SNIFFS) Ugh, it reeks. - Look - that has to be its blood, and it's leaving a trail. Come on, let's go. Uh, Sarge, we have a lead. We're leaving HQ in pursuit of an invisible assailant. Over. - MAAKA ON RT: Roger that. - What shall we do with this, Sarge? - Well, uh, it's evidence, Parker. Just put it in the evidence locker. - Ew. Oosh. Ugh. (SQUELCHING) Oh God, it stinks. Ugh. I'm in cha- Ugh! I'm in charge of the evidence locker. A lot of the other police officers don't think that evidence is very important, but it is. We once had a G-string that led to the arrest of a very prominent- Ugh! (WHIMPERS) Ugh! (GRUNTS, PANTS) I've got some blood on me. (SNIFFS) Oh. Smells like chicken. (SNIFFS) Oh. Calm down. Ugh! (WHIMPERS, GRUNTS) Ugh. (TYRES SQUEAL) - MINOGUE: Thought it was my turn to wear the goggles. - Well, it was, but this is a much more optimal pursuit scenario. Is there-? I can't see any blood ahead. Can you see anything on the monitor? - MINOGUE: I should at least be the one driving! - Oh. Ha! Hey, look, I got you! Hey, I got it! (MINOGUE HYPERVENTILATES, TYRES SQUEAL) - What? What is it? (GOGGLES BLIP) - (KNOCKS ON DOOR) Uh, Sarge? - Yes? What is it, Parker? - Uh, I took the, um, tentacle to the evidence locker, like you asked. - OK, good. Dismissed. - EXHALES: Yeah. Um, (BREATHES HEAVILY) I just think I've got a responsibility to, um, bring to your attention that I think I accidentally spilt some of its blood on my hand. Cos, um... (EERIE MUSIC) - Wow. - Yeah. - That- This means that the creature's blood is polymorphic. - Yeah, that's what I thought too. - Yeah. That would've been really handy during stealth mode. That would've been really handy. - O'LEARY ON RT: Come in, Sarge. - Yeah, go, O'Leary. - Yeah, look, it's the goggles. They just- They keep running out of batteries. Have we got a car charger for it? Over. - (MOUTHS) Uh, that is a negative, O'Leary. Uh, come back to base and we'll figure out the next step. Over. - O'LEARY: Uh, copy that. Over. (SIGHS) Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Parker. Uh, we should figure out a way to contain this. We don't want you going any more invisible. Do you have a glove or something you can wear in the meantime, Parker? - I've just got my driving gloves. - Driving gloves? - Lamb's leather. I have had Parker analyse the thermal imaging footage and get a sketch artist to create a composite of what the creature might look like. - Here you go, Sarge. - Thank you, Parker. Uh, just so you know, guys, Parker here has gone completely invisible. (FLESHY SLAP, CHAIR CREAKS) Are you out of uniform, Parker? - PARKER: No, Sarge. - Are you naked? - Yes, Sarge. I took it off because I was like, 'I wonder if the invisibility has affected my entire body.' Plus, it's really warm in here, and I just thought, you know, being invisible, no one'll know. It's actually quite liberating. - I don't care. Go get your uniform back on. - PARKER: Can't find it. It's invisible. - That's unacceptable, Parker. Dismissed. (SLAP!) - Ugh! (SLAP!) - Eugh! - Don't touch my face. - Look out. (DOOR SQUEAKS, MAAKA SIGHS) Shut the door, please. (DOOR SQUEAKS) Thank you. Right. (SHALLOW BREATHING NEARBY) I know you're still in here, Parker. I can hear you breathing. - PARKER: Sorry, Sarge. - Go. Now, please. - PARKER: Yes, sir. (DOOR SQUEAKS) (FOOTSTEPS THUD, DOOR SQUEAKS) - I've handed these out to all the available officers on duty. Told them if they feel anything like this, they're to report it in. - I've seen this before. - Have you really? - Well, now that- Maybe not, actually. - I was gonna say, cos if you'd seen that, you would've mentioned it to me. - It looks familiar, OK? Just something- - That looks familiar? - Yes. Well, just the image. - MAAKA: But to be honest, guys, I don't fancy our chances of finding this creature. We've failed. Yeah. I think perhaps for the first time ever. - No. I take offence at that. - Nah. - Why? - We've failed heaps. Heaps and heaps. - Well, not heaps, I mean, but there's been some... - Been plenty. Yeah. - ...tough cases that haven't panned out, you know? Despite our best efforts, a few times we- - We've got a long list of failures. - It's just a list, but... it is a list. - Case in point. Another failure. - Sounds like excuses. Have you at least filed a Victims' Report from the residents at the house? - W- No. - No. Nah. We got distracted by the invisible thing, and then things got outta hand, eh? And... - It was... - ...it's been a hard night. - ...busy. Hard. Hard. - Can you please get out there and get that report done and bring it back to me? - Yes. - Also keep an eye out for that creature there. - Yes. - The invisible one? - Yeah. As much as you can. Probably won't see it. - Does it look like that? - N- Uh, well- - Or like that? - Like- Like that. That's- - This is probably what we're looking for, though. - Yeah, that's probably more accurate. Right. - Mm-hm. OK. - Yeah. - So we should still take that? - Keep an eye out for that? - Just go. Just go. - Yep. - Thank you. (DOOR SQUEAKS) (SIGHS) (DOOR SHUTS) - Um, just through here. - O'LEARY: Thank you. - MINOGUE: It's designed for comfort, but it's just not... it's not practical. - Hello. How's it going? - Hi. How are you? Good. You wouldn't happen to have somewhere I can plug in these goggles, would you? - Minogue. Minogue. Look, hey, thanks very much for your help this morning. Um, we just need to let you know that your home was actually broken into by- by an invisible, um... what can only be described as a monster. - Mm. That's sugar-coatin' it. - What do you mean? - Well, it's terrifying. - Could it come back? - Well, that's the thing - it could be here right now and you wouldn't even know. - Minogue, look. Um, excuse me, what- what's this? - Oh, that's one of our daughter's drawings. - Yeah, I can see that. What's it a drawing of? - That's Daisy. - OK, who's- who's... who's Daisy? - Daisy, it's our daughter's imaginary pet. - I'm sorry, what's goin' on here? - Um, look, I believe that the, uh- the creature that broke- that was in this house was in fact this 'Daisy', um, and is potentially actually not imaginary. - SCOFFS: That's ridiculous. - CHUCKLES: Yeah, doubt it. (LOUD CLATTERING OVERHEAD) - That's Megan's room. (TENSE MUSIC) (OFFICERS PANT) - O'LEARY: Stay down there! It might not be safe. We need a Taser. We need a Taser. - Got it. Go, go, go! (O'LEARY GRUNTS, PANTS) - Hello, police people. - Oh. - Hello. How are you today? - Good. Would you like some tea? (EERIE MUSIC) - Who made the tea? - Daisy. - Daisy? Where's- Where's Daisy? (LOW GROWLING) - Oh, yes, of course. Hi, Daisy. Cos, you see, we were a bit worried that Daisy was a bit scary, but... - She's really friendly. - And you're not scared at all? - Mn-mn. - So, anyone else here that we should say hello to? - Stinky Barry. - (BOTH): Stinky Barry. (TIMID FART) - Yeah. Don't worry about that, Barry. It's OK. Anyone else? (DAISY GROWLS) So it turns out that Daisy was, in fact, more scared of us than we were of her, um, but we're gonna put a tracking device on, just to- just to keep tabs. (STRAP CLICKS) That OK? Not too tight? (DAISY GROWLS) - Daisy says it's fine. We've now confirmed that the creature is a product of the young girl's extremely vivid imagination. And to be honest, uh, there were no laws broken here, because this is actually Daisy's place of residence, so the only crime committed... - MEGAN: Ah, this is nice. - ...was perhaps unlawful arrest. - Oh, and a bit of light police brutality. - Minogue. - Well, we did chop off one of her tentacles while she was in custody, so... - Well, I mean, we did- we did do that. Um- But the aforementioned appendage has actually grown back, because that's something that Daisy can, apparently, do, so it's all good. - Officer O'Leary, would you like some more tea? - Yes, I'd love a cup now. Thank you. - (DAISY GRUMBLES CONTENTEDLY) - Oh! Um, let's try this one instead, because that was my cup. - Well, that looks just lovely. (MEGAN HUMS HAPPILY) - MINOGUE: Cheers. - O'LEARY: Cheers, everybody. Cheers, Daisy. - MINOGUE: Job well done. (EERIE MUSIC) MINOGUE: That's freaky. I can taste imaginary Earl Grey with lemon. (STINKY BARRY FARTS) It's hot. - O'LEARY: Don't drink from the teapot. (MONSTER HUFFS, SNARLS) (STATIC CRACKLES) - (SIGHS) (EERIE MUSIC) - (SIGHS) It's worn off, hasn't it, Sarge? - Yep. - I s'pose I'd better go and put on my uniform. - SIGHS: Yep. - Should I do that now, or-? - Now, please, Parker. Yep. - Actually, do you remember where I put my uniform? - I-I don't actually recall where I saw it last, Parker. - Oh, OK. - Yeah. - I've just got one question while I'm here. - Uh- - This thing over here- - Yeah, um, maybe- may- uh, maybe... we- we could talk about this later. - We can talk about it later? - Yeah, yeah. - OK, good. It's quite tight in here, isn't it? - Yeah. Yeah. - Whoa. See you soon. - Yup. - There we go.
