00:00What have you done with John?
00:02If you don't let him go, I'm going to break every bone in your body.
00:05Fool!
00:30Police are after me.
00:57Why Chris?
00:58I saw that robber kid in the streets. I went after him.
01:00Well, what did you do to him?
01:01Oh, nothing. I tried to catch him when the police turned up. I'm sure they've got the number.
01:04Oh, Chris.
01:06He dropped these books. All those school books. I don't know if they're important.
01:11It's not the kind of books we use at school.
01:15Hey, look at this.
01:17It's volume four of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
01:20What was that, Stephen?
01:21Oh, it's just a book the robber dropped him.
01:23The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Abel Gibbon.
01:26Have you ever read it, Stephen?
01:28No, Tim. I can't say that I have. It's rather long, you know. It is six volumes.
01:31Yes, I do know. But in the light of what's been happening, it is very interesting.
01:35I should have seen the correlation before.
01:38Why? How do you mean, Tim?
01:39It seems that the Roman Empire, or what was left of it, suffered a similar senseless spate of violence in the sixth century.
01:46People split into two warring factions, which Gibbon says invaded the peace of families, divided friends and brothers.
01:53There was a lot of crime and killing, and the warring factions almost destroyed civilization.
01:59As the Dark Ages followed on shortly afterwards, perhaps they were partly responsible for doing just that.
02:05But why?
02:06There was no reason behind it.
02:08If people had an allegiance to one color, they hated people of the opposite color, hated them enough to kill them.
02:14And the colors were blue and green.
02:18Oi.
02:20Oi!
02:24Can I move? I don't like sitting here.
02:26That's your usual place, isn't it, Howard?
02:28Yeah, I know. Can I move?
02:30Why?
02:31There's a smell.
02:32What smell? There's no smell there, Howard.
02:35There is. The smell of blood. You know, like rotten chilies.
02:39You stink yourself, Howard. You and your putrid green fringe.
02:43You stink, you rotten...
02:50Stephen, things are getting rough at school. Come quickly.
02:53Right away.
03:01Stop it!
03:03Stop it!
03:05Stop it!
03:07Stop it!
03:09Stop it!
03:12Get out!
03:14Sit down. Oi, come on.
03:16Get over.
03:19Come on.
03:27I'm going to leave you, Grandfather.
03:30You will tell the police I have disappeared.
03:33Do you understand, Grandfather?
03:35Tell the police I have disappeared.
03:37Yes, Robert.
03:39I will tell the police you have disappeared.
03:46Chris, there is trouble at the school
03:49and violence breaking out all over the place.
03:52I am worried about Elizabeth and Stephen. They may need you.
03:55All right, I'm on my way.
04:04I don't know what you are yet, but I'm going to find out.
04:08I've got to know whether you and your kind are a threat to us.
04:11You and I are going on a journey.
04:15You will find my poor lost grandson, won't you, Officer?
04:18He's such a delicate boy.
04:23Thank you, Officer.
04:27I don't really know what I'll do without that lad.
04:32We don't really know.
04:37We don't really know.
05:08Come on!
05:32Come on!
05:37Come on!
05:44Robert was here for registration and then he bunked off.
05:47A lot of the kids do.
05:49I haven't seen him since, but he's hardly been gone four hours.
05:52I wouldn't think there's any cause to get worried yet.
05:55He may have gone to the cinema or anything.
05:57That's for him being a delicate...
06:07Come on!
06:29I'll get him!
06:37Come on!
