01:26Don't worry.
01:28Okay.

02:33And steel.
02:35Sapphire and steel have been assigned.
02:45What have you done to this door?
02:49I have opened it.
03:08Rob?
03:10Are you down there, Rob?
03:12Don't worry about them.
03:17Rob?
03:19Don't listen to them.
03:21We'll soon be safe.
03:28Stay there.
03:32Sit down.
03:51Dad?
04:07You said mum was here.
04:08She is.
04:10But I can't see her.
04:13Look.
04:37Still can't see her.
04:39That's because you're not looking hard enough, Rob.
04:41When people are hiding, you've got to look for them really hard.
04:44Look!
04:53Rob?
04:55Hello, Rob.
04:59There you are.
05:03Come on.
05:05You wanted to see her, didn't you?
05:06Yes, but...
05:07But what?
05:09Why doesn't she look at us?
05:14Yes, dear.
05:16Why don't you look at us?
05:29No!
05:30Sapphire!
05:32Help me!
06:03No!
06:05No!
06:07No!
06:09No!
06:11No!
06:14Just there, just beyond the beams.
06:42All right as far as the beam?
06:46Yes.
06:48What about the beams themselves?
06:50No.
06:52This is where it starts.
06:58Rob?
06:59Yes, dear.
07:01I know what to do.
07:04Speak to me.
07:06Well, this is what happened to Sapphire, isn't it?
07:08On the landing?
07:10Yes.
07:11So I know what to do.
07:13I just stand very still, don't I?
07:16Don't I?
07:19Yes, Rob, you do.
07:21I'm sorry, Steel, but it was my father.
07:23He brought me down here.
07:25Well, not him, not really him.
07:27Whatever it was, was pretending to be your father?
07:29Yes.
07:30Is he...
07:32Is it still with you?
07:34No, I'm alone.
07:41You're not alone, Rob.
07:43No.
07:44Because we're quite close to you.
07:46Yes, Sapphire.
07:53We're all in the cellar together, and you are one of us.
07:57Yes.
08:04Rob, you remember when Sapphire was trapped on the landing?
08:08They wanted her to think she was in a room.
08:10Yes, but we kept telling her not to believe in that room.
08:12Not to believe in that room, not to be a part of it.
08:14Listen to me!
08:15Rob, you're doing all right, son.
08:20Tell me what you can see.
08:22I'm outside. I'm in the open.
08:26It looks like the cellar.
08:29I'm outside the cellar, but it isn't finished.
08:33It's being built.
08:35The house is being built.
08:37Rob, is it day or night?
08:40Um, evening. It just got dark.
08:42Just stay where you are for the moment, okay?
08:45All right.
08:46Why should I take him back to the time when the house was being built?
08:49Rob, can you sing?
08:50Not very well.
08:51Do you know any songs?
08:53I can whistle.
08:54Well, whistle me a tune, then.
09:05You know it!
09:12Those patches of light need something to lock onto.
09:14There are no pictures being hung or rhymes being said in a house that's being built.
09:19There must be something.
09:22I have to find out what it is.
09:26What is he doing?
09:47Let's locate them, shall we?
09:50Rob?
09:51Yes, Sapphire?
09:53You remember those patches of light?
09:55Yes.
09:56They're there with you somewhere.
09:58I know.
09:59You know what?
10:00That they're in here somewhere.
10:01Can you see them?
10:02No, but I know they're here.
10:05One of them was pretending to be my father.
10:07The other one, my mother.
10:09Are we going in there?
10:11Not yet.
10:14Let's find them first.
10:17Rob, I'm going to make them appear, right?
10:19Yes.
10:21When you see them, tell us where they are.
10:24All right.
10:35Can I move?
10:36Yes, but very quickly, remember?
10:38Yes, I'll remember.
10:47There must be something.
10:52Behind me, Steel, just behind me.
11:00The second one's in front of me.
11:02The other side, just in front.
11:03All right.
11:04All right, Rob.
11:05Just keep still.
11:06Oh, we've got them.
11:07We've found them.
11:09Steel, there's something wrong.
11:13It was too easy.
11:15There must be something else.
11:20Keep him singing.
11:22All right, Rob.
11:23Now, let's really sing that song.
11:24Come on.
11:25What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:27What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:29What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:31There is something else.
11:32There's another one.
11:34What the fuck?
11:37Hey, hey, hey, up she rides, up she rides.
11:41What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:43Come on, Rob, you're doing fine, son.
11:45Come on.
11:46What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:48What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:50What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
11:53Rob?
11:55We're going to lose him, Steel.
11:59Rob?
12:00Rob?
12:30He's gone, hasn't he? Rob's gone!
12:46No, Helen! I'm still here! I fought it and I've won!
13:00You can all come in now! I fought it and I've won!
13:17He's still there, Steel. Rob is still in there. He's holding them.
13:23You mustn't go in! Don't listen to her! Please, help me!
13:31Please, help me!
13:36Please, help him! Do something!
13:42I'm going to help him, Helen. I just need a minute.
13:44Please, I need you!
13:47Rob, you remember the first time we came here, came to this house?
13:51Yes, Steel. I'm sorry I was so rude. That's all right, Steel.
13:55It's just that I'd had a difficult time, a bad time in that ship.
13:59Ship? What was the name of the ship? The Marie Celeste. That's it, that's right.
14:04Do something!
14:07Are your mother and father still here? Yes, they're here, Steel.
14:10I'm sorry, we've never met. I don't know their names. What are they called, Rob?
14:20Henry. Sarah. Henry and Sarah.
14:26Thank you, Rob. We're going to have to get some help.
14:31You were right to call the policeman at the point. I'm going to need him after all.
14:35Can you remember his telephone number? No!
14:38That's all right, I can look it up. What's his name? I don't know!
14:42Yes, you do, Rob. The policeman at the point. I don't know!
14:46He came to this house. He's a friend of yours. I don't know!
14:49The policeman at the point. What's his name? I don't know!
14:52I don't know! He came to the house. What's his name? I don't know!
14:57Name! Name! Name!
15:03I don't know! I don't know!
15:08I don't know, Brian.
15:13Brian Trew...
15:15Constable Brian Trelawney!
15:18Stan, it's me! I'm back! It's really me!
15:21Something terrible happened here!
15:23Not now, Rob.
15:24But still, I know!
15:25You're back where you were! You're not back here!
15:28Yes, Steel.
15:30What do I do?
15:32I need to know what it's in, what part of the past it's projecting. Do you understand?
15:36Yes.
15:37Look quickly and tell me.
15:40Um, Stone...
15:42There's something written on Stone.
15:44I couldn't see what it was.
15:46But I can go back and look.
15:47No, stay exactly as you are.
15:53It's a name.
15:55Someone's name marked on it, no?
15:57It's chipped out of it.
16:01Jed?
16:03Mace.
16:062nd of February.
16:0917...
16:1136.
16:12Who's Jed Mace?
16:15The builder of this house. That stone is his mark.
16:18The first stone to be laid?
16:19Quite possibly one of the first.
16:22How much time?
16:24Time?
16:25From where Rob is now, back to the time that stone was set, how much time?
16:33Half a day.
16:36Half a day.
16:40It's all right, Rob, we know where you are now.
16:42Your troubles are nearly over.
16:44Don't move a muscle!
16:46Papa!
16:50It's made a fatal mistake.
16:52You don't build houses backwards.
16:54It came through at the top of the house.
16:56The roof, the gable.
16:58The last part of the house to be built.
17:00Right.
17:01But it allowed its satellites to use that stone to hide in there.
17:06The first part of the house to be built?
17:09Be ready to take time back half a day.
17:11Why?
17:12I'm going to bring it all down here.
17:14Down here?
17:16Yes, down there.
17:18Into the time frame it's chosen.
17:21Oh, that's beautiful.
17:23And how do we get it down here? Invite it?
17:25Yes.
17:27All we need is a nursery rhyme.
17:29And someone as bait.
17:34A human.
17:38No!
17:39I'll let you choose the appropriate nursery rhyme for her.
17:47This is the house that Jack built.
17:52This is the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
17:58This is the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
18:06This is the cat that killed the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
18:15This is the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
18:26This is the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat.
18:39Rob?
18:40Yes?
18:41We'll be coming in to get you soon.
18:43Soon?
18:44Just stay where you are, okay?
18:48This is the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
19:02This is the maid that wore a full on robe that carried the crumpled horn that tossed the dog.
19:11Helen?
19:12Keep going.
19:13Helen?
19:14Don't listen to her.
19:16Come back upstairs, Helen. It's time for bed.
19:19Well, do you hear me?
19:21You won't get a good night kiss, Helen.
19:24Don't look round, Helen. Please don't look round.
19:29It's not Mama, is it?
19:33No.
19:35That worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
19:45This is the man who tossed the dog that kissed the maid that wore a full on...
19:50Steel!
19:52It's coming down!
19:53The cow with the crumpled horn that tossed...
20:01Are you there yet?
20:05Ho, ho, ho! Yes, you there!
20:10This is a feast for Sharon and Sean. Murder man and tossed and torn that kissed the maid and wore a full on...
20:21Tossed the monk the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat.
20:35The house Jack built.
20:41This is a farmer who sowed the corn that turned the cock that closed in the morn.
20:50That raped the priest that killed the monk.
20:55Tossed and torn that kissed the maid and wore a full on...
21:03Yes.
21:04That monk the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
21:25This is a dish...
21:31Are we going to take the whole house?
21:33Yes.
21:34And there's no whale of a soul?
21:35Murder man and tossed and torn that kissed the maid and wore a full on...
21:42That monk the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the monk that learned the house that Jack built.
21:58This is a farmer sowing his corn...
22:01Helen!
22:03Get out of the way.
22:04But still you saw...
22:06That monk the cow with the crumpled horn that kissed the maid and wore a full on...
22:12Ring-a-ring-a-roses, a pot full of roses.
22:17A dish you, a dish you, we all fall down.
22:22The king has sent his daughter to fetch a pail of water.
22:27A dish you, a dish you, we all fall down.
22:32The bird upon the steam, the fire upon the flame.
22:36A dish you, a dish you, we all fall down.
22:41The cows are in the middle.
22:47Take it back now!
23:02Oh, shit!
23:32Oh, shit!
24:03What was that?
24:10We forgot something.
24:12What?
24:13This.
24:16The king has sent his daughter to fetch a pail of water.
24:21A dish you, a dish you, we all fall down.
24:26The bird upon the steam...
24:28Yes, what is it? You're supposed to be doing your homework.
24:30Yes, ma'am.
24:31Well?
24:33Helen dropped this on the stairs.
24:35All right, well, give it to her then.
24:37Back her!
24:38Have you really finished it?
24:40Well, get on with it then.
24:42The bird upon the steam sits high above the people.
24:48A dish you, a dish you, we all fall down.
24:55Rob.
24:57Goodbye.
