Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare (2024) Movie Script
Neverland was a world that every child dreamed about.
A land where mermaids swam in the crystal clear waters of the lagoon.
Where boys could shoot bows and arrows and play pirates aboard the Jolly Roger.
A land where every desire, every wish could be granted to the boys by fairies.
No evil darkness hung over Neverland.
The children were happy and could be friends till the end of time.
Sleep did not exist.
Rules did not exist, and above all, there were no parents to tell the little boys what they should or should not do.
This utopia, this world, was offered only to the most special little boys.
Peter ruled the island, having been ordered by a higher being to ensure that the best children were invited to stay in Neverland forever.
This was Peter's gift, to grant the boys their wish to never grow up.
With the promise that Peter would be able to join the little boys in Neverland for good.
Oh, but first he had a mission to complete.
So, I think that it's time for you to go to Neverland, Curly.
What do you say?
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Right, I'm going for a shower.
By the time I'm done, I want you upstairs doing your teeth.
Hey.
Wakey, wakey.
Wakey, wakey.
Peek-a-boo.
Oh!
Oh, don't be frightened.
I got lost down here and it's really cold and I lost my mummy.
You lost your mum?
Mm-hmm.
And I'm really scared because it's really dark and I don't want my mummy to be mad at me.
How did you get down there?
Well, I was walking along and then I slipped and fell into darkness.
Oh, gosh.
Silly me.
I'm not allowed to talk to strangers.
I'll get them, Irish.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
We're not strangers at all.
Today, I got you a building.
Don't you remember me?
From the circus?
Mm-hmm.
That was you?
Mm-hmm.
Indeed it was.
Hey, I guess that means we're friends.
Let me get mum.
Oh, no, no, no.
You'll make her mad.
We don't need two angry mummies now, do we?
You're a bit old to need your mum, aren't you?
It's late.
We should go to bed.
I'm Peter.
It's nice to meet you.
Mm-hmm.
I'm James.
James.
You could.
No, actually, no.
Forget I said anything.
What?
No, no.
I don't think you're brave enough.
I'm very brave.
Tell me.
Okay, come here.
There's a place where all the kids go.
Somewhere I could take you, if you like.
Home, some world of dreams.
You don't have bedtimes there.
Mm-hmm.
No more mummies.
I think you'd make the perfect lost boy.
In the Netherlands, you could have so much fun.
No!
No, he's not!
No!
Don't hurt him!
He's my friend!
Get off!
Now!
No!
Get her, Jimmy!
Go!
Let's go!
Listen.
Take this.
Take the phone.
And you'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
I need to take you with me.
No!
You ruined this for me.
Stay on the line.
I'm sending you to your meeting.
Aren't you a wonderful boy?
Would you like to come to the Netherlands with me now?
What happened to sharing the chores, guys?
That lasted about five minutes.
You were supposed to sort this, John.
Mum.
One thing.
I asked you to do one thing, and you can't even do that.
Mum, can you not see that I'm working right now?
You've had ages to do.
I'm just a little bit out of pace.
Wendy, I need you to take Michael to school.
Perkins are taking John, but they haven't got any space.
Yes, fine.
Well, I don't need anyone to take me.
I've got my bike.
Yeah, which you only got this morning.
Mum.
Oh, you can practice riding around the block
before you even think about riding to school.
Right.
That's me.
I am off.
Mum, could I borrow five of these?
I'll pay you back next week when Dad gives them a weekly.
You say this every week.
I never see it.
So what?
I asked you to do one chore.
No, absolutely not.
What did you say?
It's five pounds, Mum.
I heard from your Dad this morning.
Can you believe it?
I hope John's not expecting him to make an effort this weekend.
He's more than likely otherwise engaged.
Oof.
Dad said he'll get me the drone I wanted.
Now, Michael, you know that's not going to happen.
I told you.
You're not old enough.
And those things are really expensive.
I don't think your Dad's going to fork out for that, do you?
Michael, you nearly ready?
I don't want to be late again, OK?
Have a lovely day.
By the way, Wendy, this came this morning from UCL.
Why are you opening my letters?
I thought you were really looking forward to going.
No.
I never said that.
That's what you said.
Is this because of this guy?
Wendy, you've got to get your headscrewed on or you'll end up just working nine to five in some shit job.
Well, maybe that's what I want, so...
Shit, George, you too.
You're just like your Dad.
Hold that.
I've got something to say to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
So annoying.
Happy birthday to you.
Michael.
I hate you.
Happy birthday to you.
I hate you.
Aw, I love you.
Oh, new bike.
Very nice from Mum.
Well, she's got a point, you know.
You don't be doing that long journey to school on your new bike, do you?
I want to ride my bike.
You're not going to make it in time, are you?
Come on.
I'll give you a lift.
Follow me.
This way.
Come on, come on.
We can do car karaoke.
Hurry up.
You're going to be late.
Sorry.
Okay.
I forgot your birthday.
I'll take you out for ice cream after school, yeah?
How about that?
Want to go brownies?
Brownies?
Come on.
It's your favourite.
Don't leave me hanging, otherwise I'll just have to go all by myself and sit there like a loner.
You are a loner.
Oi.
But for me?
Please?
Are you still going to London?
Just figuring it out.
I'm so obsessed with you.
Michael.
Look, one day you'll meet someone that you really like and you'll realise that you need to do certain things.
To keep them.
Look, Michael, we all need to grow up at some point and at some point we need to move out and get on with our adult lives.
It's nothing to be angry about, okay?
I'm always going to be your annoying big sister.
Come on.
Just before school, let's go.
Scoot scoot, let's go.
All set?
I hate Mum for this.
Everyone will think it's girly.
Who cares?
Screw them.
I'm not kissing you.
Oh, you'll be right.
Okay.
Where am I putting this?
Over there, next to the others.
Okay, are we still going out for ice cream after school?
Hi, Joey, are you right?
We're late, sir.
I know, I know.
Today will be an awfully big adventure.
Today will be an awfully big adventure.
It's time to collect.
She's been asking where you are.
Wendy, the time.
I know, sorry.
I didn't ask for your life story or late, okay?
Again, one more time this week and I'm going to need to dock those wages.
The letter came today.
About me scheduling my gap year.
I thought my mum was going to flip out.
Well, it's not her decision, is it?
If you want to do your thing, then do it.
If you want to go into this city with Ronnie, go for it.
Yeah.
What's that face?
He's completely ghosted me.
I don't know what's happening.
It's like we had this plan and now he's not even answering my calls.
How long has he aired you?
Like, a day.
But he was acting off all about it before that.
I don't know what's happening.
It's like a switch in his brain or something about the whole thing.
Well, can't he just cancel the gap year and go to uni instead?
Mia, no, it's very official.
Well, me and the girls are doing a glamping trip tonight.
If you girls want to come, Jamie's coming.
The phone?
Hey, we're closed.
Such a pretty boy.
When do you like to come to Neverland with me?
Hi.
Hi, Peter.
Mate, we're closed.
You hearing me?
Oh, freak!
You gonna pay for that?
So you left her, huh?
Uh-huh.
But you've not kissed a girl and how old are you now?
Carl, fuck off.
This is our table.
Also, get your mum to check your head.
It's infested with nits and it's gross.
I think this is yours.
Fuck off.
He's so pathetic.
How about if he does it again, we'll get some payback.
Here you go.
Wanna go to the cinema this weekend?
Yes.
Ronnie!
What the fuck?
Where have you been?
Yeah, sorry.
I've been recording you.
I've been busy.
Busy what?
Why have you been ignoring me?
No.
No, look, I'm not ignoring you.
Well, you are, so...
I've just been thinking, okay, about moving to the city and I think I'm gonna stay.
Look, I'm sorry, okay, but you pressured me.
I pressured you?
Yes, and I got caught up in your excitement.
Buddy, you okay?
I'm sorry, okay?
You need to come with me.
Get up!
Is he in detention or something?
I've already told you.
He's not marked down for being in detention.
What time should you have picked him up?
Well, I was there on time.
I can call his tutor for you and see whether he's in any after-school activities.
Yes, please.
Who are you?
I'm Peter.
Peter Pan.
Oh, that'd be fine.
I'm just a big old teddy bear.
My mother, she used to do terrible things to me.
When she would do things to make me upset, I'd close my eyes.
Can you close your eyes, Michael?
Close them.
Oh, good boy.
And I would dream of this magical place.
Oh, where we'd be filled with children our age.
And we'd play all day and all night long.
And I wouldn't be scared anymore.
So when you get scared, just think of that place.
Because it's real.
It's real, Michael.
What I'm giving you for your birthday is the greatest gift a child could ever ask for.
So there's no problems at home?
No, not at all. He's fine.
No, but he is a shy, shy, vulnerable little boy.
He wouldn't just run away. You know that.
He's not off on some adventure.
Maybe he should start with his friends.
He hasn't got any fucking friends, John Christ.
This is from the sculpt.
How could you not see him? Where did he go?
I mean, if he wasn't actually there, Wendy, it's okay.
Wendy.
I was there. I was just distracted.
You were just...
You were distracted. What do you mean you were distracted?
I can't. I can't do this. I can't do this.
Hello?
Hello?
Who is it?
Is it Michael?
Hello?
Who is this?
Who are you?
I'm going to take him to Neverland.
Who are you?
This isn't happening. This is not happening.
You sick fuck.
Thank you.
I can't sleep.
You awake?
I know you're awake.
I want to play a game.
Oh, a game's always fun, isn't it?
Let's see.
Oh, how about a good old game of Marco Polo?
You know that game?
I'll go and hide, and you have to find me.
Are you ready?
Close your eyes.
Count to ten.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten!
Marco?
Marco?
Polo.
Marco?
Are these your friends?
He's my friend.
Joey.
Would you like it if I brought Joey here, too?
No, I don't want him here.
Michael, you're a special, special boy.
I see great things for you.
In a place where you can be a little boy for the rest of your existence.
Living the most incredible life.
And I could let Joey come with you.
You know, my mother used to play this song to me and the other little boys in school.
What happened to your mother?
Oh, you don't need to worry about her.
I won't let her touch my boys again.
Is it true what they're saying about...
Yeah.
We got the same cruel one.
It's crazy.
They all thought he was dead, but he's back.
Peter Pan.
They always said he was out there, but everyone forgot about it and moved on.
I've got to go and get tea.
I'll call you later.
I've looked and looked.
I just... I just don't know where to look next.
I've been calling around.
Look, mum.
Why don't you go to bed?
It's the worst.
If anything happens to him.
Look, none of this is your fault, okay?
Seriously.
No.
It is.
I want to help bring him back.
Don't tell mum.
I'll call in school and say you're sick.
So where are we going?
I found an address of somebody in Ashdown who experienced this.
So I'm going to see who they are and see what they know.
Incredibly sorry for what you're going through.
Then we'd leave the doors unlocked in our houses like there was nothing to fear.
It was a safe community.
The police never found his body after that awful incident with that boy's mother.
What happened, if I may ask, when Timmy went missing?
What do you remember?
It was the autumn time.
In the evening, Timmy asked if he could walk over to his friend's house a few streets down and so we agreed.
Then it got later and later and he didn't come home.
So I called the friend's home.
They told me that he had never arrived in the first place.
So I was thinking, where had he been all that time?
If he hadn't been there, I mean, if that's where he said he was going, then...
Then you got the call.
He always told us he felt like a little girl inside.
Timmy was always such a kind child.
I still can't, after all these years, bring myself to pack this room away.
I still feel one day they'll be knocking the door and my little Timmy will come home.
I hope they find your brother, Wendy.
Really, I do.
Look at this.
By long times.
Oh, come on, mate.
Right, kids, stay put. Let me see if I can help this guy.
So if you need a hand, moving it to the side.
Oh, these old vans, you know, they're always acting up.
They'll be unpredictable.
My God.
Well.
Who wants to come to Neverland with me?
Thank you.
I'm Tinkerbell.
He coughs a lot.
He isn't well, is he?
He's close to Neverland and this is his sign.
That's why he must act now to take the children with him before it's too late.
How long have you been here?
I was the first to be chosen.
He keeps you here, doesn't he?
He doesn't keep me here.
So you can leave whenever you want, then?
He's not going to let me go, is he?
Where Peter takes the children is a place more special and spectacular than anyone could ever dream.
Why hasn't he taken you there, then?
Because I'm different and I've always been different.
I'm a fairy.
One day I'll be a bigger being, something magical, where I can be and do whatever I like.
I just need to follow his guidance.
Same for you.
I'll be back soon.
My family.
They'll miss me if I won't return.
I don't want to be anywhere else.
I was happy.
What's wrong?
Is it Michael?
Have you seen the news?
What is it?
Sit down.
Tell me.
Michael's friends.
They found their school once.
But they found the kids in the woods.
It's okay.
It's okay.
There is nothing wrong.
John.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Mum?
Mum?
Come on.
He's gone.
He isn't.
You can't say that.
I think you should go to your dad's.
It's you.
All right.
I'll send him to you tonight.
What are you doing?
Do they really go?
You know where they go.
I told you.
You don't believe me.
You think I'm lying.
I always...
Yeah.
Yes, you do.
Don't you ever fucking question me again.
Do you understand?
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Michael.
Honestly.
Don't.
Stay.
Don't go.
What did I tell you about making that fucking noise?
Honestly, fuck being around that.
Thanks.
But no, it's okay.
I need to be there.
I just needed somewhere to...
You know.
You don't want these, girlies?
All right.
I've got to hit the sack.
Joey.
Let's get you to bed.
Good night, Wendy.
I'll pray for Michael tonight.
Good night, ladies.
Look.
Wendy, if there's anything we can do.
Thank you.
Right, there's blankets in the downstairs cupboard.
Do you know where they are to?
Yeah, I'm going to let Wendy stay in my room tonight.
I don't mind staying on the sofa.
Good girl.
Right.
Sleep well.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Thanks, team.
His first victim, Timmy Carter,
who was taken when Peter was just 17 years old.
Reporting from the town of Norwood,
where 11 children were taken from their school bus
and brutally murdered.
This comes a day after a local boy went missing.
The boy cannot be named,
but his family spoke of receiving
a haunting phone call
from a man...
Oh, God!
Where is he?
Where is he?
Go!
Go see Jerry!
I'll get there.
I have a little friend.
There's no need to be frightened.
Oh!
Do you want to hear a story?
You're going to hurt him.
He's going to help you.
Just do as he says.
all of you
will get to go to Neverland.
Oh,
no need to be afraid.
Neverland,
I need you to dream.
Oh,
once you accept my invitation,
all of the dreams
will be given to you.
So,
who wants to go first?
Meanie.
Meanie.
Mimey.
Mo.
Aren't you the lucky one?
You've got to say yes.
You won't hurt me?
Oh, no.
Of course not.
Okay.
No.
No, don't.
No!
You're lying!
You're lying to me.
Stop it. Come on now. Stop.
Get away from me.
I want to go home.
I want to go home.
Don't fight against this, Michael.
Who are you?
Please.
Please.
I just want my brother back.
Michael?
Is he down there?
I won't tell anybody.
Please.
I just want him home.
I'm begging you.
Please.
Let me go. Let me go.
Michael.
Michael.
I've got you with them.
It's okay.
It's okay. I'm going to get you over here.
Okay?
You know what I'm doing is for the best.
Right?
I can't stop.
It's my duty to send the kids to Neverland
and protect them from this world.
What happens
in that room?
You know, every single person
in my life
has left me at some point.
But not you.
I don't know.
No, you're special.
You're different from the other women I've met.
Something greater than this world.
No, you'd never leave me.
So why don't you sit down
and have some of your
magic pixie dust.
Tell me.
I think you know
what's gotten into you.
Who the fuck is in this house?
What's going on here, Tix?
Don't hurt the boys.
Hurt?
Hurt the boys?
What do you mean hurt them?
I'm saving them.
And who the fuck are you
to question me now?
To all I've done for you.
To all the care I've given you
when no one else wanted you.
The society
is projecting you.
Where are they?
Michael, listen to me.
You have to trust me.
He's coming.
You have to hide.
Where's Joey?
I heard someone in here.
Where are they?
Do you know
what happens to little boys
who lie?
Michael,
they don't get to go to Neverland.
You know what happens instead.
They live the rest of their lives
alone
and in pain.
And do you know
how they get to that place,
Michael?
You see, I...
I take my hands
and I put them around
their little throats.
And like a snake, I squeeze
as tight as I possibly can
till their blood runs cold.
Run!
Michael, run!
Leave!
Leave!
Timmy...
I know what happened to you.
Father misses you.
Michael's
family
misses him too.
You know what's happening here.
It isn't right.
I just wanted
to go home.
Hide!
Bitch!
Where is she?
So you're playing with them, though.
Joey?
You lied
to me.
Lied?
The only ones
who lied to you
were those outside.
For years
I begged and begged
to go home
and you told me
they didn't want me.
I don't see you for what you are.
I see you're meant for more than this.
I taught you one day
to lie with me to Neverland.
You do this to me.
You turn your back on me.
Stop!
It's time to
stop.
Come with me.
Come on.
Keep your phone on you. We'll be tracking your location.
You know I don't think you deserve to go
to Neverland.
You're just a
failed lost boy.
I don't believe
in Neverland.
Well, that's fine.
Because I never believed in fairies anyway.
How dare you
fucking betray me!
Fuck with me once.
Fuck with me.
If you're sure as hell
want to fuck with me again.
Okay.
Okay.
Hold that.
Okay.
It's okay.
Okay.
They're coming.
Listen.
When you get out of here
you need to run as fast as you can
and do not look back. Do you understand me?
No matter what.
You need to send help here, Joey.
Yes, you understand.
Okay, I'm gonna get you out.
Go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
Gotcha.
Where do you think you're going?
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Help me.
Help me.
I'll fuck you!
I have to go.
I'm sorry.
Help me.
Help me.
Help me.
Looks like you need a plaster on that.
Don't give up.
You...
You...
Girls don't get to go to Neverland.
Marco!
Marco.
Polo.
Michael!
Michael!
Wendy!
Wendy!
I don't want to stop playing.
You...
It's time for you
to go to Neverland.
Please don't hurt me.
Please don't hurt me.
I'm just a little boy.
I'm just a little boy.
I'm just a little boy.
You...
You ruined everything.
You could go
to Neverland alone.
Yes! Happy birthday!
Right, on to the present.
Did you make a wish?
Did it come true?
Drumroll for little...
Is it true?
Yes!
Is there a camera there as well?
There should be,
so we can fly all over the place.
Happy birthday's a lot better this year.
Right, I think it's time for my present.
So step aside.
Which one should we do next?
Let's do this one,
which is not even wrapped.
Oh, sorry, I was in a rush.
Try and guess what it is.
I'll grab that, guys.
Hello?
That's a car.
A land where mermaids swam in the crystal clear waters of the lagoon.
Where boys could shoot bows and arrows and play pirates aboard the Jolly Roger.
A land where every desire, every wish could be granted to the boys by fairies.
No evil darkness hung over Neverland.
The children were happy and could be friends till the end of time.
Sleep did not exist.
Rules did not exist, and above all, there were no parents to tell the little boys what they should or should not do.
This utopia, this world, was offered only to the most special little boys.
Peter ruled the island, having been ordered by a higher being to ensure that the best children were invited to stay in Neverland forever.
This was Peter's gift, to grant the boys their wish to never grow up.
With the promise that Peter would be able to join the little boys in Neverland for good.
Oh, but first he had a mission to complete.
So, I think that it's time for you to go to Neverland, Curly.
What do you say?
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Right, I'm going for a shower.
By the time I'm done, I want you upstairs doing your teeth.
Hey.
Wakey, wakey.
Wakey, wakey.
Peek-a-boo.
Oh!
Oh, don't be frightened.
I got lost down here and it's really cold and I lost my mummy.
You lost your mum?
Mm-hmm.
And I'm really scared because it's really dark and I don't want my mummy to be mad at me.
How did you get down there?
Well, I was walking along and then I slipped and fell into darkness.
Oh, gosh.
Silly me.
I'm not allowed to talk to strangers.
I'll get them, Irish.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
We're not strangers at all.
Today, I got you a building.
Don't you remember me?
From the circus?
Mm-hmm.
That was you?
Mm-hmm.
Indeed it was.
Hey, I guess that means we're friends.
Let me get mum.
Oh, no, no, no.
You'll make her mad.
We don't need two angry mummies now, do we?
You're a bit old to need your mum, aren't you?
It's late.
We should go to bed.
I'm Peter.
It's nice to meet you.
Mm-hmm.
I'm James.
James.
You could.
No, actually, no.
Forget I said anything.
What?
No, no.
I don't think you're brave enough.
I'm very brave.
Tell me.
Okay, come here.
There's a place where all the kids go.
Somewhere I could take you, if you like.
Home, some world of dreams.
You don't have bedtimes there.
Mm-hmm.
No more mummies.
I think you'd make the perfect lost boy.
In the Netherlands, you could have so much fun.
No!
No, he's not!
No!
Don't hurt him!
He's my friend!
Get off!
Now!
No!
Get her, Jimmy!
Go!
Let's go!
Listen.
Take this.
Take the phone.
And you'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
I need to take you with me.
No!
You ruined this for me.
Stay on the line.
I'm sending you to your meeting.
Aren't you a wonderful boy?
Would you like to come to the Netherlands with me now?
What happened to sharing the chores, guys?
That lasted about five minutes.
You were supposed to sort this, John.
Mum.
One thing.
I asked you to do one thing, and you can't even do that.
Mum, can you not see that I'm working right now?
You've had ages to do.
I'm just a little bit out of pace.
Wendy, I need you to take Michael to school.
Perkins are taking John, but they haven't got any space.
Yes, fine.
Well, I don't need anyone to take me.
I've got my bike.
Yeah, which you only got this morning.
Mum.
Oh, you can practice riding around the block
before you even think about riding to school.
Right.
That's me.
I am off.
Mum, could I borrow five of these?
I'll pay you back next week when Dad gives them a weekly.
You say this every week.
I never see it.
So what?
I asked you to do one chore.
No, absolutely not.
What did you say?
It's five pounds, Mum.
I heard from your Dad this morning.
Can you believe it?
I hope John's not expecting him to make an effort this weekend.
He's more than likely otherwise engaged.
Oof.
Dad said he'll get me the drone I wanted.
Now, Michael, you know that's not going to happen.
I told you.
You're not old enough.
And those things are really expensive.
I don't think your Dad's going to fork out for that, do you?
Michael, you nearly ready?
I don't want to be late again, OK?
Have a lovely day.
By the way, Wendy, this came this morning from UCL.
Why are you opening my letters?
I thought you were really looking forward to going.
No.
I never said that.
That's what you said.
Is this because of this guy?
Wendy, you've got to get your headscrewed on or you'll end up just working nine to five in some shit job.
Well, maybe that's what I want, so...
Shit, George, you too.
You're just like your Dad.
Hold that.
I've got something to say to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
So annoying.
Happy birthday to you.
Michael.
I hate you.
Happy birthday to you.
I hate you.
Aw, I love you.
Oh, new bike.
Very nice from Mum.
Well, she's got a point, you know.
You don't be doing that long journey to school on your new bike, do you?
I want to ride my bike.
You're not going to make it in time, are you?
Come on.
I'll give you a lift.
Follow me.
This way.
Come on, come on.
We can do car karaoke.
Hurry up.
You're going to be late.
Sorry.
Okay.
I forgot your birthday.
I'll take you out for ice cream after school, yeah?
How about that?
Want to go brownies?
Brownies?
Come on.
It's your favourite.
Don't leave me hanging, otherwise I'll just have to go all by myself and sit there like a loner.
You are a loner.
Oi.
But for me?
Please?
Are you still going to London?
Just figuring it out.
I'm so obsessed with you.
Michael.
Look, one day you'll meet someone that you really like and you'll realise that you need to do certain things.
To keep them.
Look, Michael, we all need to grow up at some point and at some point we need to move out and get on with our adult lives.
It's nothing to be angry about, okay?
I'm always going to be your annoying big sister.
Come on.
Just before school, let's go.
Scoot scoot, let's go.
All set?
I hate Mum for this.
Everyone will think it's girly.
Who cares?
Screw them.
I'm not kissing you.
Oh, you'll be right.
Okay.
Where am I putting this?
Over there, next to the others.
Okay, are we still going out for ice cream after school?
Hi, Joey, are you right?
We're late, sir.
I know, I know.
Today will be an awfully big adventure.
Today will be an awfully big adventure.
It's time to collect.
She's been asking where you are.
Wendy, the time.
I know, sorry.
I didn't ask for your life story or late, okay?
Again, one more time this week and I'm going to need to dock those wages.
The letter came today.
About me scheduling my gap year.
I thought my mum was going to flip out.
Well, it's not her decision, is it?
If you want to do your thing, then do it.
If you want to go into this city with Ronnie, go for it.
Yeah.
What's that face?
He's completely ghosted me.
I don't know what's happening.
It's like we had this plan and now he's not even answering my calls.
How long has he aired you?
Like, a day.
But he was acting off all about it before that.
I don't know what's happening.
It's like a switch in his brain or something about the whole thing.
Well, can't he just cancel the gap year and go to uni instead?
Mia, no, it's very official.
Well, me and the girls are doing a glamping trip tonight.
If you girls want to come, Jamie's coming.
The phone?
Hey, we're closed.
Such a pretty boy.
When do you like to come to Neverland with me?
Hi.
Hi, Peter.
Mate, we're closed.
You hearing me?
Oh, freak!
You gonna pay for that?
So you left her, huh?
Uh-huh.
But you've not kissed a girl and how old are you now?
Carl, fuck off.
This is our table.
Also, get your mum to check your head.
It's infested with nits and it's gross.
I think this is yours.
Fuck off.
He's so pathetic.
How about if he does it again, we'll get some payback.
Here you go.
Wanna go to the cinema this weekend?
Yes.
Ronnie!
What the fuck?
Where have you been?
Yeah, sorry.
I've been recording you.
I've been busy.
Busy what?
Why have you been ignoring me?
No.
No, look, I'm not ignoring you.
Well, you are, so...
I've just been thinking, okay, about moving to the city and I think I'm gonna stay.
Look, I'm sorry, okay, but you pressured me.
I pressured you?
Yes, and I got caught up in your excitement.
Buddy, you okay?
I'm sorry, okay?
You need to come with me.
Get up!
Is he in detention or something?
I've already told you.
He's not marked down for being in detention.
What time should you have picked him up?
Well, I was there on time.
I can call his tutor for you and see whether he's in any after-school activities.
Yes, please.
Who are you?
I'm Peter.
Peter Pan.
Oh, that'd be fine.
I'm just a big old teddy bear.
My mother, she used to do terrible things to me.
When she would do things to make me upset, I'd close my eyes.
Can you close your eyes, Michael?
Close them.
Oh, good boy.
And I would dream of this magical place.
Oh, where we'd be filled with children our age.
And we'd play all day and all night long.
And I wouldn't be scared anymore.
So when you get scared, just think of that place.
Because it's real.
It's real, Michael.
What I'm giving you for your birthday is the greatest gift a child could ever ask for.
So there's no problems at home?
No, not at all. He's fine.
No, but he is a shy, shy, vulnerable little boy.
He wouldn't just run away. You know that.
He's not off on some adventure.
Maybe he should start with his friends.
He hasn't got any fucking friends, John Christ.
This is from the sculpt.
How could you not see him? Where did he go?
I mean, if he wasn't actually there, Wendy, it's okay.
Wendy.
I was there. I was just distracted.
You were just...
You were distracted. What do you mean you were distracted?
I can't. I can't do this. I can't do this.
Hello?
Hello?
Who is it?
Is it Michael?
Hello?
Who is this?
Who are you?
I'm going to take him to Neverland.
Who are you?
This isn't happening. This is not happening.
You sick fuck.
Thank you.
I can't sleep.
You awake?
I know you're awake.
I want to play a game.
Oh, a game's always fun, isn't it?
Let's see.
Oh, how about a good old game of Marco Polo?
You know that game?
I'll go and hide, and you have to find me.
Are you ready?
Close your eyes.
Count to ten.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten!
Marco?
Marco?
Polo.
Marco?
Are these your friends?
He's my friend.
Joey.
Would you like it if I brought Joey here, too?
No, I don't want him here.
Michael, you're a special, special boy.
I see great things for you.
In a place where you can be a little boy for the rest of your existence.
Living the most incredible life.
And I could let Joey come with you.
You know, my mother used to play this song to me and the other little boys in school.
What happened to your mother?
Oh, you don't need to worry about her.
I won't let her touch my boys again.
Is it true what they're saying about...
Yeah.
We got the same cruel one.
It's crazy.
They all thought he was dead, but he's back.
Peter Pan.
They always said he was out there, but everyone forgot about it and moved on.
I've got to go and get tea.
I'll call you later.
I've looked and looked.
I just... I just don't know where to look next.
I've been calling around.
Look, mum.
Why don't you go to bed?
It's the worst.
If anything happens to him.
Look, none of this is your fault, okay?
Seriously.
No.
It is.
I want to help bring him back.
Don't tell mum.
I'll call in school and say you're sick.
So where are we going?
I found an address of somebody in Ashdown who experienced this.
So I'm going to see who they are and see what they know.
Incredibly sorry for what you're going through.
Then we'd leave the doors unlocked in our houses like there was nothing to fear.
It was a safe community.
The police never found his body after that awful incident with that boy's mother.
What happened, if I may ask, when Timmy went missing?
What do you remember?
It was the autumn time.
In the evening, Timmy asked if he could walk over to his friend's house a few streets down and so we agreed.
Then it got later and later and he didn't come home.
So I called the friend's home.
They told me that he had never arrived in the first place.
So I was thinking, where had he been all that time?
If he hadn't been there, I mean, if that's where he said he was going, then...
Then you got the call.
He always told us he felt like a little girl inside.
Timmy was always such a kind child.
I still can't, after all these years, bring myself to pack this room away.
I still feel one day they'll be knocking the door and my little Timmy will come home.
I hope they find your brother, Wendy.
Really, I do.
Look at this.
By long times.
Oh, come on, mate.
Right, kids, stay put. Let me see if I can help this guy.
So if you need a hand, moving it to the side.
Oh, these old vans, you know, they're always acting up.
They'll be unpredictable.
My God.
Well.
Who wants to come to Neverland with me?
Thank you.
I'm Tinkerbell.
He coughs a lot.
He isn't well, is he?
He's close to Neverland and this is his sign.
That's why he must act now to take the children with him before it's too late.
How long have you been here?
I was the first to be chosen.
He keeps you here, doesn't he?
He doesn't keep me here.
So you can leave whenever you want, then?
He's not going to let me go, is he?
Where Peter takes the children is a place more special and spectacular than anyone could ever dream.
Why hasn't he taken you there, then?
Because I'm different and I've always been different.
I'm a fairy.
One day I'll be a bigger being, something magical, where I can be and do whatever I like.
I just need to follow his guidance.
Same for you.
I'll be back soon.
My family.
They'll miss me if I won't return.
I don't want to be anywhere else.
I was happy.
What's wrong?
Is it Michael?
Have you seen the news?
What is it?
Sit down.
Tell me.
Michael's friends.
They found their school once.
But they found the kids in the woods.
It's okay.
It's okay.
There is nothing wrong.
John.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Mum?
Mum?
Come on.
He's gone.
He isn't.
You can't say that.
I think you should go to your dad's.
It's you.
All right.
I'll send him to you tonight.
What are you doing?
Do they really go?
You know where they go.
I told you.
You don't believe me.
You think I'm lying.
I always...
Yeah.
Yes, you do.
Don't you ever fucking question me again.
Do you understand?
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Michael.
Honestly.
Don't.
Stay.
Don't go.
What did I tell you about making that fucking noise?
Honestly, fuck being around that.
Thanks.
But no, it's okay.
I need to be there.
I just needed somewhere to...
You know.
You don't want these, girlies?
All right.
I've got to hit the sack.
Joey.
Let's get you to bed.
Good night, Wendy.
I'll pray for Michael tonight.
Good night, ladies.
Look.
Wendy, if there's anything we can do.
Thank you.
Right, there's blankets in the downstairs cupboard.
Do you know where they are to?
Yeah, I'm going to let Wendy stay in my room tonight.
I don't mind staying on the sofa.
Good girl.
Right.
Sleep well.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Thanks, team.
His first victim, Timmy Carter,
who was taken when Peter was just 17 years old.
Reporting from the town of Norwood,
where 11 children were taken from their school bus
and brutally murdered.
This comes a day after a local boy went missing.
The boy cannot be named,
but his family spoke of receiving
a haunting phone call
from a man...
Oh, God!
Where is he?
Where is he?
Go!
Go see Jerry!
I'll get there.
I have a little friend.
There's no need to be frightened.
Oh!
Do you want to hear a story?
You're going to hurt him.
He's going to help you.
Just do as he says.
all of you
will get to go to Neverland.
Oh,
no need to be afraid.
Neverland,
I need you to dream.
Oh,
once you accept my invitation,
all of the dreams
will be given to you.
So,
who wants to go first?
Meanie.
Meanie.
Mimey.
Mo.
Aren't you the lucky one?
You've got to say yes.
You won't hurt me?
Oh, no.
Of course not.
Okay.
No.
No, don't.
No!
You're lying!
You're lying to me.
Stop it. Come on now. Stop.
Get away from me.
I want to go home.
I want to go home.
Don't fight against this, Michael.
Who are you?
Please.
Please.
I just want my brother back.
Michael?
Is he down there?
I won't tell anybody.
Please.
I just want him home.
I'm begging you.
Please.
Let me go. Let me go.
Michael.
Michael.
I've got you with them.
It's okay.
It's okay. I'm going to get you over here.
Okay?
You know what I'm doing is for the best.
Right?
I can't stop.
It's my duty to send the kids to Neverland
and protect them from this world.
What happens
in that room?
You know, every single person
in my life
has left me at some point.
But not you.
I don't know.
No, you're special.
You're different from the other women I've met.
Something greater than this world.
No, you'd never leave me.
So why don't you sit down
and have some of your
magic pixie dust.
Tell me.
I think you know
what's gotten into you.
Who the fuck is in this house?
What's going on here, Tix?
Don't hurt the boys.
Hurt?
Hurt the boys?
What do you mean hurt them?
I'm saving them.
And who the fuck are you
to question me now?
To all I've done for you.
To all the care I've given you
when no one else wanted you.
The society
is projecting you.
Where are they?
Michael, listen to me.
You have to trust me.
He's coming.
You have to hide.
Where's Joey?
I heard someone in here.
Where are they?
Do you know
what happens to little boys
who lie?
Michael,
they don't get to go to Neverland.
You know what happens instead.
They live the rest of their lives
alone
and in pain.
And do you know
how they get to that place,
Michael?
You see, I...
I take my hands
and I put them around
their little throats.
And like a snake, I squeeze
as tight as I possibly can
till their blood runs cold.
Run!
Michael, run!
Leave!
Leave!
Timmy...
I know what happened to you.
Father misses you.
Michael's
family
misses him too.
You know what's happening here.
It isn't right.
I just wanted
to go home.
Hide!
Bitch!
Where is she?
So you're playing with them, though.
Joey?
You lied
to me.
Lied?
The only ones
who lied to you
were those outside.
For years
I begged and begged
to go home
and you told me
they didn't want me.
I don't see you for what you are.
I see you're meant for more than this.
I taught you one day
to lie with me to Neverland.
You do this to me.
You turn your back on me.
Stop!
It's time to
stop.
Come with me.
Come on.
Keep your phone on you. We'll be tracking your location.
You know I don't think you deserve to go
to Neverland.
You're just a
failed lost boy.
I don't believe
in Neverland.
Well, that's fine.
Because I never believed in fairies anyway.
How dare you
fucking betray me!
Fuck with me once.
Fuck with me.
If you're sure as hell
want to fuck with me again.
Okay.
Okay.
Hold that.
Okay.
It's okay.
Okay.
They're coming.
Listen.
When you get out of here
you need to run as fast as you can
and do not look back. Do you understand me?
No matter what.
You need to send help here, Joey.
Yes, you understand.
Okay, I'm gonna get you out.
Go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
Gotcha.
Where do you think you're going?
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Help me.
Help me.
I'll fuck you!
I have to go.
I'm sorry.
Help me.
Help me.
Help me.
Looks like you need a plaster on that.
Don't give up.
You...
You...
Girls don't get to go to Neverland.
Marco!
Marco.
Polo.
Michael!
Michael!
Wendy!
Wendy!
I don't want to stop playing.
You...
It's time for you
to go to Neverland.
Please don't hurt me.
Please don't hurt me.
I'm just a little boy.
I'm just a little boy.
I'm just a little boy.
You...
You ruined everything.
You could go
to Neverland alone.
Yes! Happy birthday!
Right, on to the present.
Did you make a wish?
Did it come true?
Drumroll for little...
Is it true?
Yes!
Is there a camera there as well?
There should be,
so we can fly all over the place.
Happy birthday's a lot better this year.
Right, I think it's time for my present.
So step aside.
Which one should we do next?
Let's do this one,
which is not even wrapped.
Oh, sorry, I was in a rush.
Try and guess what it is.
I'll grab that, guys.
Hello?
That's a car.
