00:01:10♪♪
00:01:20♪♪
00:01:30♪♪
00:01:40What is it?
00:01:43A service station. Some kind of halfway place.
00:01:46On the time?
00:01:47The present.
00:02:00I haven't looked yet.
00:02:03Well, let's look.
00:02:08The time of day?
00:02:098.54 p.m.
00:02:12What is the time of year?
00:02:14Summer. Mid-July.
00:02:17I wonder if there's anybody running this place.
00:02:19There isn't.
00:02:22Apart from us, there are only two other people here.
00:02:26And they arrived in that.
00:02:29I've given it a quick visual examination, but I'm sure you...
00:02:32And the result of your visual examination?
00:02:34I'd say the car was manufactured in 1946.
00:02:38Mm-hmm.
00:02:39It's no more than two years old.
00:02:40Where are they?
00:02:42Oh, they're in here.
00:02:45♪♪

00:03:04All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension.
00:03:10Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
00:03:15Medium atomic weights are available.
00:03:18Gold, mercury, copper, jet, diamond, radium, sapphire, silver, and steel.
00:03:30Sapphire and steel have been assigned.
00:03:35♪♪
00:03:40Do they go with the car?
00:03:42Yes.
00:03:48Have you questioned them?
00:03:49No, not yet.
00:03:51I thought I'd leave that to you.
00:03:53I'm not very good at intimidation.
00:04:01Are they real? I mean, do you believe them?
00:04:04Well, I've been given no reason to disbelieve them.
00:04:07So far, that is.
00:04:09A couple and a car, two people and a machine driving here from 1948
00:04:13to this place at this time period?
00:04:16Well, I did say so far.
00:04:22After all, perhaps this side could be wrong.
00:04:26What do you mean, this side could be wrong?
00:04:28Well, why not?
00:04:31After all, it seems just as perfectly set in its period
00:04:35as those people do in theirs, but one side has to be wrong.
00:04:38And this side?
00:04:39Well, that's also a little odd.
00:04:42Tell us.
00:04:44Well, you're supposed to gamble.
00:04:47Gamble?
00:04:49Yes, sometimes you're supposed to lose.
00:04:51Well, most times you're supposed to lose.
00:04:53Oh.
00:04:55I wonder why I wasn't enjoying it.
00:04:57I said tell us.
00:05:01BELL RINGS
00:05:07You see, I was standing here.
00:05:09Now, I was told, you were told there was going to be a time break.
00:05:12So I was sent here to watch and to wait.
00:05:15And then the car arrived.
00:05:17But I think the time break had happened quite a time before that.
00:05:20Did you see it arrive?
00:05:22Well, I should say it appeared.
00:05:24I didn't hear its approach.
00:05:26Could you do it?
00:05:28Yes.
00:05:31BELL RINGS
00:05:35Show me.
00:05:39You'd love to know.

00:06:04DOOR CLOSES
00:06:06What on earth is...
00:06:15What's your opinion?
00:06:17Opinion?
00:06:19You've been here, you've been watching. What do you think's going on?
00:06:22I think, well, I'm almost sure that there's no time here.
00:06:26Not any more. You mean it's stopped?
00:06:28Yes. Well, it's a kind of a pocket, like a vacuum.
00:06:32Yes. Yes, you could say that there's no time here any more.
00:06:35Evidence?
00:06:37Oh, the traffic. You can hear it.
00:06:40Yes?
00:06:42You see, the through road would be round about there.
00:06:46But listen to those sounds.
00:06:48It's the sound of the same vehicles passing.
00:06:50Yes, you see, the ones that would have been passing when the time break occurred.
00:06:54They're still travelling, but they're not going anywhere.
00:06:58The time.
00:07:00What about it?
00:07:02It's still 8.54.
00:07:04Yes, it's been 8.54 for the past six hours, ever since I got here.
00:07:07But all the clocks are still working.
00:07:09They don't tell us what the right time ought to be, but they are still working.
00:07:13You see?
00:07:24No, no!
00:07:27Thank you.
00:07:42What's normal time?
00:07:44Normal time?
00:07:46Yes, time as it is. You remember that.
00:07:49What is it?
00:07:51Three minutes, 23 seconds after midnight.
00:07:55And you've been here for six hours?
00:07:57Roughly, yes.
00:07:59So what does that tell us? That it happened at 8.54 p.m. yesterday, the day before? When?
00:08:03I don't know.
00:08:05Perhaps the radio can tell us.
00:08:07Radio?
00:08:25Radio, radio, radio.
00:08:45Most of the referees, most of the referees, most of the referees, most of the referees,
00:08:48most of the referees, most of the referees, most of the referees, most of the referees...
00:08:54Fifty-four, the eight.
00:08:57Fifty-four, the eight.
00:08:59Fifty-four, the eight.
00:09:02Time as it shouldn't be for this place.
00:09:05But what for us?
00:09:07Fifty-four, the eight.
00:09:24Fifty-four, the eight.
00:09:34Are you going to show more surprise than your friend?
00:09:37Surprise?
00:09:39Yes. He didn't show any.
00:09:42Well, suppose you tell us why we should be surprised.
00:09:45Because we're here.
00:09:48And where's here?
00:09:50Oh, come on, now.
00:09:52Well, we've got the authority, and I suppose he sent for you.
00:09:55It's not a crime.
00:09:57Whatever's happened to us, it can't be a crime, can it?
00:10:01No.
00:10:03Well, then, reason with him.
00:10:06Don't argue with him.
00:10:10This is the future, isn't it?
00:10:14We were driving, minding our own business.
00:10:17Suddenly we arrive here, into the future, without warning.
00:10:22We're just sitting here.
00:10:24We're not making a fuss.
00:10:26We're just sitting here, waiting,
00:10:28so that perhaps we may go back without warning.
00:10:32This isn't a trick on our part, you know.
00:10:35It's not some sort of a game.
00:10:37I mean, you may think it is.
00:10:39No. No, we don't think it is.
00:10:42Good.
00:10:44Because I know that this place isn't a game.
00:10:47It's...
00:10:49Well, I suppose it's how the future would feel.
00:10:52I mean, it even smells and tastes like a different time.
00:10:56It scares me.
00:11:02When you were driving along and minding your own business,
00:11:06what happened?
00:11:08She's already said.
00:11:10Explain it. Explain it to us.
00:11:14We'd taken the Long Toll turning.
00:11:16It's an old toll-bridge road.
00:11:18There's a small garage I know there.
00:11:20It's only got one pump.
00:11:22They sell eggs and fruit and milk.
00:11:24Most people wouldn't know it was a garage.
00:11:27Grass and weeds growing all over the place.
00:11:30Chickens running under your wheels.
00:11:32But you can knock on the door any time of the day or night.
00:11:36The old fellow will always serve you.
00:11:38So you drove in here,
00:11:40The old fellow will always serve you.
00:11:42So you drove in there?
00:11:44Yes.
00:11:45Then what?
00:11:47Well, then it became this place.
00:11:49Suddenly. Without any kind of warning.
00:11:52Were there any people here?
00:11:54No.
00:11:56Then he arrived.
00:11:58He wasn't very helpful.
00:12:00Sorry.
00:12:02Time of day?
00:12:04What?
00:12:05What was the time of day when you drove in here
00:12:08The grass and the weeds and the chickens.
00:12:10It was nearly midnight.
00:12:12Yes. It'll be almost midnight.
00:12:15And the date?
00:12:17The 25th of July.
00:12:19And the year?
00:12:221948.
00:12:26Do we believe them?
00:12:28We can always do tests.
00:12:30Even in the car?
00:12:32Because if they're not what they say they are,
00:12:34Then they could be a part of it.
00:12:36I don't know.
00:12:38I don't see that.
00:13:05There's quite an age difference between them.
00:13:08About 14 years.
00:13:10But they are married.
00:13:12Oh, yes, they're married.
00:13:14But not to each other.
00:13:17There's quite an age difference between them.
00:13:19About 14 years.
00:13:21But they are married.
00:13:23Oh, yes, they're married.
00:13:25But not to each other.
00:13:46Oh, yes, they're married.
00:14:16Well, as the catering staff seem to have deserted us,
00:14:19I'm quite prepared to cook some food.
00:14:21So can I get you something?
00:14:23No, thank you.
00:14:25Well, surely you can...
00:14:27We don't trust it.
00:14:29We don't trust it.
00:14:31We don't trust it.
00:14:33We don't trust it.
00:14:35We don't trust it.
00:14:37We don't trust it.
00:14:39We don't trust it.
00:14:41We don't trust it.
00:14:43We don't trust it.
00:14:45We don't trust it.
00:14:47We prefer to wait until we get back to our own time.
00:14:50That might be quite a while.
00:14:52We'll still wait, thank you.
00:14:54What about you?
00:14:56Me?
00:14:58He didn't really ask you.
00:15:00He doesn't have to.
00:15:02Surely you must be hungry.
00:15:04No, I'm not.
00:15:06Oh, for that journey.
00:15:08I mean, 30-odd years.
00:15:10What about an omelette?
00:15:12That would constitute a meat meal away from home.
00:15:15What?
00:15:17Page 3, paragraph 9 of their ration book, RB1.
00:15:19Half a coupon per person.
00:15:21Oh, yes, of course.
00:15:23You do have your ration book.
00:15:28We don't want the food,
00:15:30so you don't get the coupon.
00:15:32Fair enough.
00:15:37But if it'll satisfy your curiosity...
00:15:43¶¶
00:15:52¶¶
00:16:02¶¶
00:16:12¶¶
00:16:23¶¶
00:16:31You talk about food.
00:16:33What about those?
00:16:35Those plates?
00:16:37Some haven't even been touched.
00:16:40There are cigarettes and matches on that table.
00:16:43There are coats over the chairs, but there are no people.
00:16:47You expect me to eat something?
00:16:50Touch food here?
00:16:52A glass of water, that's all I want from this place.
00:16:56Because this place terrifies me.
00:16:59¶¶
00:17:07¶¶
00:17:17¶¶
00:17:27¶¶
00:17:37¶¶
00:17:47¶¶
00:17:57¶¶
00:18:07¶¶
00:18:17¶¶
00:18:27¶¶
00:18:37¶¶
00:18:47¶¶
00:18:58This.
00:19:00What about it?
00:19:02Do you know what it is?
00:19:04No.
00:19:06It's a simple calculator.
00:19:08I don't want to know.
00:19:10Didn't you hear what she said?
00:19:12We're not interested.
00:19:14Not even in this?
00:19:16Not even in that.
00:19:18What about all the other gadgets?
00:19:21Don't you want to know what they are?
00:19:25No.
00:19:27Things you'll never have seen before.
00:19:30We are interested in only one thing.
00:19:33Getting back to where we belong.
00:19:35Why don't you take this back with you to 1948?
00:19:39You could invent it, make a fortune.
00:19:42We're still not interested.
00:19:44That's good.
00:19:46The future should be left intact.
00:19:49How many people would consider that?
00:19:52I would expect people to take what they could from the future.
00:19:56To make the most of the experience.
00:19:59But not you.
00:20:01All you want is one glass of water.
00:20:06Yes.
00:20:08¶¶
00:20:11Out here.
00:20:13¶¶
00:20:22When you arrived here, did you switch any lights on?
00:20:25No, they were already on.
00:20:27Why?
00:20:29If the time break happened on a bright summer evening,
00:20:32why was every single light left on in this place?
00:20:35And there's an image.
00:20:37Of a person?
00:20:39Yes.
00:20:44An old man.
00:20:46In there.
00:20:49In there.
00:20:51In another building.
00:20:53Well, a part of another building.
00:21:01Wait.
00:21:11That was the image I saw before?
00:21:13Same man, different background.
00:21:16¶¶
00:21:27What are you getting?
00:21:29A sense of fear.
00:21:31And violence.
00:21:37It is possible, isn't it, for a time break,
00:21:40either by accident or design,
00:21:42to pick up some powerful emotion from the past.
00:21:45Like a sort of side effect or a follow-through?
00:21:48Yes.
00:21:50You wouldn't mind a bit of that.
00:21:53A small garage that sells eggs and fruit and milk.
00:22:00With grass and weeds growing everywhere.
00:22:09July the 25th was a Sunday.
00:22:11Yesterday was a Sunday, yes.
00:22:13This small shack of a garage that you drove into,
00:22:16was it open on Sunday?
00:22:18I've already said, it's open at all hours, any day of the week.
00:22:22Provided you knock on the door and get the old man to serve you.
00:22:25That's right.
00:22:27What about at midnight?
00:22:29It's no different.
00:22:31But the old man, how did you know if he was in?
00:22:34Because he never goes out.
00:22:37I see.
00:22:39Anyway, he always leaves his lights on.
00:22:42All night long.
00:22:44A light burning in every room.
00:22:47He's a sort of local joke.
00:22:50What?
00:22:52Character.
00:22:56Why are you asking us this?
00:22:58I mean, we're stuck here in the wrong time and the wrong place.
00:23:01Look, we don't really need unnecessary questions.
00:23:04Where were you going? Going?
00:23:06Yes, where were you going when you drove in here for...
00:23:10Don't answer his questions.
00:23:12You looked, did you?
00:23:14Yes, I looked.
00:23:16I said don't answer his questions.
00:23:18We don't have to.
00:23:20You do have to.
00:23:22If you want us to get you back into your own time.
00:23:24To face whatever consequences you have to face.
00:23:27What do you mean, consequences?
00:23:29I don't know, you tell me. I said, what do you mean?
00:23:31It's obvious you're both running away from something.
00:23:33Are we? Don't!
00:23:35Don't you think we've had enough?
00:23:40That's odd.
00:23:42I was thinking of playing that machine.
00:23:44Oh, my God, look.
00:23:49I was holding...
00:23:51Look.
00:23:52What?
00:23:53Look at the clock.
00:23:55It's moving forward by ten minutes.
00:23:58Our bodies haven't been affected.
00:24:00Only this place has.
00:24:03So why are we here?
00:24:05I don't know.
00:24:08So what is it moving forward to?
00:24:13To whatever is going to happen here.
00:24:37I don't know.
00:25:07I don't know.
00:25:09I don't know.
00:25:35Yes, where were you going when you drove in here for...
00:25:37There are suitcases in your car.
00:25:39Don't answer his questions.
00:25:41You looked, did you?
00:25:43Yes, I looked.
00:25:45I said don't answer his questions.
00:25:47We don't have to.
00:25:49You do have to.
00:25:51If you want us to get you back into your own time.
00:25:53To face whatever consequences you have to face.
00:25:55What do you mean, consequences?
00:25:57I don't know, you tell me.
00:25:59I said, what do you mean?
00:26:00It's obvious you're both running away from something.
00:26:02Are we? Don't!
00:26:04Don't you think we've had enough?
00:26:08That's odd.
00:26:10I was thinking of playing that machine.
00:26:12Oh, my God, look!
00:26:17I was holding...
00:26:19Look.
00:26:20What?
00:26:21Look at the clock.
00:26:23It's moving forward by ten minutes.
00:26:26Our bodies haven't been affected.
00:26:29Only this place has.
00:26:31I don't know.
00:26:33I don't know.
00:26:35Only this place has.
00:26:37So what is it moving forward to?
00:26:43To whatever is going to happen here.
00:27:00All irregularities will be handled
00:27:02by sensors controlling each dimension.
00:27:08Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
00:27:12Medium atomic weights are available.
00:27:15Gold, mercury,
00:27:18copper,
00:27:20jet, diamond,
00:27:22radium, sapphire, silver and steel.
00:27:28Sapphire and steel have been assigned.
00:27:33Four percent to be mined.
00:27:37Four percent to be mined.
00:27:44Was that expected? Was that expected? Was that expected?
00:28:03It's at a standstill again.
00:28:06At four minutes past nine.
00:28:08Yes, the radio's the same.
00:28:10Apart from a slight variation, ten minutes' worth.
00:28:12What about the traffic?
00:28:14Different vehicles this time, but the same kind of repeated sound.
00:28:18Well, let's find out some more about those two as a loving couple.
00:28:22Well, they are only human, aren't they?
00:28:26What happened?
00:28:28That sound, things moving by themselves, something must have happened.
00:28:31It did.
00:28:33You may not have noticed,
00:28:35but time in this place is at a standstill for the moment.
00:28:38But that's not possible.
00:28:40And yet you're here.
00:28:42Well, I'm here.
00:28:44I'm here.
00:28:46I'm here.
00:28:48I'm here.
00:28:50I'm here.
00:28:52I'm here.
00:28:55Where did you get this?
00:28:57I poured it for myself.
00:28:59From where?
00:29:01From behind there.
00:29:10Would you like it back?
00:29:12No.
00:29:14Separate them.
00:29:18Um, do you think I might have the keys to your car?
00:29:21What for?
00:29:23It's as if you wouldn't mind.
00:29:25As a matter of fact, I do mind.
00:29:27Oh. Well, it makes no difference.
00:29:29Don't!
00:29:31If he tries to get into that car...
00:29:33Don't! Don't play that game!
00:29:40What is our game?
00:29:47He's gone outside.
00:29:49Yes.
00:29:51But outside...
00:29:53It's perfectly safe,
00:29:55provided neither of you tries to leave this place.
00:30:01Hey, you!
00:30:11We happen to be running away, that's all.
00:30:14She from her husband, I from my wife.
00:30:17We already know that.
00:30:19Oh, you know that, do you?
00:30:21Well, that's not exactly an arrestable offence, now, is it?
00:30:26Nor is being here in the future, where we don't belong.
00:30:31We didn't mean to come here.
00:30:33We're not trespassing.
00:30:36Adultery.
00:30:38They can't hang you for it.
00:30:40How can you be so sure?
00:30:42Well, perhaps in this time period...
00:30:44We...
00:30:46Belong to this time period, remember?
00:30:56Excuse me.
00:31:17Lovely old car, isn't it?
00:31:32He has every right to be upset.
00:31:34To be angry.
00:31:36To be protective.
00:31:38Yes. Why not?
00:31:40I don't know.
00:31:42To be angry.
00:31:44To be protective.
00:31:46Yes. Why not?
00:31:48No-one can condemn us.
00:31:50Only the church, perhaps, but...
00:31:52I don't care that much about the church, and neither does he.
00:31:56He?
00:31:58What?
00:32:00You keep referring to him as he. Does he not have a name?
00:32:03Of course he has a name.
00:32:05Then tell me it.
00:32:07No.
00:32:10You keep telling us over and over again that you've done no wrong.
00:32:13It's true.
00:32:15Then tell me your names.
00:32:17Why should I?
00:32:19All right. Then him.
00:32:21Tell me about him. Where did you meet him?
00:32:23Ask him that.
00:32:25And when? How long have you known him?
00:32:27About seven or eight months. What does it matter?
00:32:29That's not very long.
00:32:31It's long enough to...
00:32:33Long enough to what?
00:32:35To know that I love him.
00:32:37I suppose that means that you're able to forgive him almost anything.
00:32:40No, it doesn't mean that.
00:32:45What year is this?
00:32:48Which decade?
00:32:50The 1980s.
00:32:54Therefore there's no need for me to lie to you.
00:32:58I mean, with 30-odd years lost somewhere, well...
00:33:02I mean, I could tell you just about anything.
00:33:06I mean, you can't very well go back and check up on us, can you?
00:33:21It's a clear night.
00:33:25What if she and I were to climb into the car and drive away,
00:33:28just drive back where we've come from?
00:33:31We've already explained there is no time here.
00:33:33You would simply arrive back here again.
00:33:35Arrive again? Well, how could we arrive again?
00:33:38Well, isn't it obvious?
00:33:40No, I mean, if we went straight back,
00:33:44no stops, no turns,
00:33:46just drove in a straight line for 50 or 60 miles.
00:33:49You would arrive back here once more.
00:33:52Hmm.
00:33:54What if you came with me?
00:33:57Me?
00:33:59Yes. You belong to this place, this time.
00:34:01Do I?
00:34:03So you'd be by my passport.
00:34:07So if I went back in a straight line,
00:34:10with you at my side, then what would happen?
00:34:15What would you like to happen?
00:34:21Excuse me.
00:34:25That lady you're prepared to move mountains for is waiting for you.
00:34:32What was that?
00:34:34A bit more fun at our expense?
00:34:37Possibly.
00:34:39Yes, I thought so.
00:34:47It's over.
00:34:52Steel.
00:34:54Yes, I heard that.
00:34:56It came from just outside.
00:34:58The woman. What about her?
00:35:00Is she still there? Yes, of course she's still...
00:35:04No.
00:35:06No, she's not.
00:35:08Wait.
00:35:14Sorry, what did you say?
00:35:16I said, yes, I thought so.
00:35:26The woman disappeared, just for a moment.
00:35:28But a shadow of her remained? Yes.
00:35:30The same thing happened to the man.
00:35:32And the time? That's still the same.
00:35:34Four minutes past nine.
00:35:36How do you explain the shadows? I can't.
00:35:40Whatever happened, it doesn't seem to have upset them.
00:35:44That sound.
00:35:46What was it? Something banging.
00:35:48An open window, perhaps? No, it wasn't an impersonal sound.
00:35:51Someone... That's impossible.
00:35:53Time's at a standstill here. No one can leave or enter this place.
00:35:57There was something rattling in the wind.
00:36:00One of the garage sirens, perhaps?
00:36:02No, it was a higher frequency than that.
00:36:04More like a cymbal or a triangle.
00:36:07You mean it wasn't an accident?
00:36:09No, the sound is being produced by someone.
00:36:11Someone wants us to know they're here.
00:36:26Nothing.
00:36:28Whatever it is, it's not in here.
00:36:36We heard it again. Somewhere above us.
00:36:38It was here. It was close by.
00:36:40You were both out here. You didn't see anything?
00:36:42Nothing.
00:36:44That image we saw of the old man.
00:36:46Perhaps it was something to do with him.
00:36:48I don't know.
00:36:50I don't know.
00:36:52I don't know.
00:36:54Perhaps it was something to do with him.
00:37:08You say the image was first seen in here?
00:37:11Yes.
00:37:25Nothing.
00:37:27Just a moment.
00:37:36Why Silver? Why is he here?
00:37:38He was here because he was sent.
00:37:40Sent to do what?
00:37:42To wait and watch, same as us.
00:37:44Still, I want to talk.
00:37:48Silver is a technician.
00:37:51Silver is a technician. Why has he been sent to watch?
00:37:53Why don't you ask him that?
00:37:55I have asked him, and he doesn't know.
00:37:57He simply doesn't know why he's here, and neither do we.
00:37:59Of course we do.
00:38:01Think about it for once, Steel. Why are we here?
00:38:03We're here because there's been a time...
00:38:05We're usually sent at the beginning of an event,
00:38:07when things have started to happen, when damage has begun.
00:38:09It has begun.
00:38:11Well, I don't see any signs of damage.
00:38:13Time has stopped here. It's standing still.
00:38:15People from 1948 just happened to be running around in the 1980s.
00:38:18I don't call that serious damage. No?
00:38:20No, not at this stage, not yet.
00:38:22Well, you said it earlier.
00:38:24You said that we were on some sort of a countdown
00:38:26to an event that's due to happen.
00:38:28But supposing that it already has happened,
00:38:31that this is it, the three of us here not knowing why we're here.
00:38:36Supposing there's nothing for us to wait for.
00:38:39Supposing it is waiting for us.
00:38:43Here.
00:38:46Hey!
00:38:55He's no longer an image.
00:38:57No.
00:38:59You see, are you one in service?
00:39:01Only that's at the front of the building, you see, not here.
00:39:04This is private here.
00:39:06Talk to him.
00:39:09What's wrong?
00:39:12You see, this is private, this part of the building.
00:39:14Private property. You shouldn't be here.
00:39:16I said, what's wrong?
00:39:18Why are you frightened of us?
00:39:20Well...
00:39:22I suppose it's cos I can't see you very clearly.
00:39:25And I've never believed in ghosts,
00:39:27so I'm not likely to want to start now.
00:39:29What do you see?
00:39:31I see everything as it should be.
00:39:33Everything.
00:39:35What do you see?
00:39:37I see everything as it should be.
00:39:39Except for you lot.
00:39:42Tell us.
00:39:44Tell you?
00:39:46Yes, tell us what you can see.
00:39:48Well, I see the house, don't I?
00:39:50As it should be, as I should see it.
00:39:53The sheds and the path.
00:39:57The cold frame.
00:39:59That wooden fence there.
00:40:02And you lot sort of...
00:40:04sort of over it all.
00:40:06In the wrong...
00:40:08Well, in the wrong place.
00:40:11Will you tell us what year this is?
00:40:13What year?
00:40:15Well, what year do you expect it to be?
00:40:17It's 1925, of course.
00:40:19Of course, of course, of course, of course, of course, of course...
00:40:30We were the images that time.
00:40:32We were the ones that didn't belong.
00:40:361925.
00:40:39And 1948.
00:40:43So which of them is wrong?
00:40:45Or lying.
00:40:47Well, what kind of a lie would it be? What would be the point of it?
00:40:50They've described accurately a place and a man.
00:40:52They've described visiting the place and talking to the man.
00:40:54Yes, 23 years later.
00:40:56Well, maybe, as we did, they saw the ghost of an old man 23 years ago.
00:41:00But he wasn't a ghost.
00:41:02If anything, we were the ghosts to him.
00:41:04You see, my first thought is that everything is haphazard.
00:41:07A mess. Time just mixed and jumbled up together, making no sort of sense.
00:41:10Your second thought?
00:41:12Well, my second thought is that it's just too haphazard.
00:41:14It's too obvious. It's like something has been designed.
00:41:17Sapphire was saying the same thing earlier on.
00:41:20It's like something being designed.
00:41:22Hmm. And just what exactly we're doing here.
00:41:25Yes. What was your briefing?
00:41:27Well, it... I can't think of it.
00:41:29It wasn't an actual briefing. Not the usual.
00:41:31It's more like a kind of knowledge.
00:41:33Something telling you you should be here.
00:41:35Yes. And you?
00:41:37The same, still.
00:41:41Well, there's one simple way to find out.
00:41:43Silver, have you been told anything we haven't?
00:41:46Well, I've just said.
00:41:48No, concerning this place.
00:41:50No.
00:41:51You weren't given any special information?
00:41:53Special? Privileged information.
00:41:55Information that's been withheld from us.
00:41:57No.
00:41:59You were here before us. That's right.
00:42:01Why?
00:42:03I don't know why.
00:42:05Silver, specialists never, ever move in
00:42:07until operators and investigators have done their work.
00:42:09Yes, but this is different, isn't it?
00:42:11Is it? Well, haven't we just said so?
00:42:13Didn't we just agree that this wasn't a usual...
00:42:15No, we haven't agreed anything. We're just comparing notes, that's all.
00:42:18Very well, then.
00:42:20Ignoring the fact that you are operators and I am a mere specialist,
00:42:23but accepting the fact that it was a kind of shared knowledge
00:42:26that brought us here, I mean, why the delay of six hours?
00:42:29Six hours? Yes.
00:42:31Between my arrival and yours.
00:42:33I mean, six hours?
00:42:35You yourselves could have picked up
00:42:37quite a lot of privileged information in six hours.
00:42:39Yes, well, we don't know why.
00:42:41So, as I said, there's one simple way of finding out.
00:42:44All we have to do is leave this place.
00:42:50Time.
00:42:52Let's move forward again. By 20 minutes.
00:42:59Well, into that.
00:43:19It's happened again.
00:43:22Come on.
00:43:31You heard that sound?
00:43:33Yes.
00:43:46It was the sound of a musical instrument.
00:43:48I think it was a tambourine.
00:43:50A tambourine? Yes.
00:43:52No, we didn't hear that.
00:44:04If it is part of an arranged plan,
00:44:07would those two be a part of it?
00:44:09I don't know.
00:44:11Ten minutes, then 20. When does it stop, I wonder?
00:44:14When it's ready.
00:44:16Yes, well, I don't like being part of an arranged plan.
00:44:18I prefer to make the moves.
00:44:22Steel?
00:44:24Listen.
00:44:31It's just the rain. No, no, there's someone walking.
00:44:35There's someone walking outside.
00:44:38No doubt.
00:44:40Whoever it is, they're coming this way.
00:44:42They're coming here.
00:44:45Stay here.
00:44:57The clock.
00:44:59We know.
00:45:04What is it?
00:45:06Someone coming.
00:45:08Someone coming here?
00:45:14Someone coming here?
00:45:45Where?
00:45:47Just outside.
00:45:51Be careful.
00:45:58Whoever it was couldn't have gone. I would have heard them.
00:46:02Close the door behind me.
00:46:05Lock them.
00:46:14Lock the door behind me.
00:46:44Lock the door behind me.
00:47:15LOCK THE DOOR BEHIND ME
00:47:40Sir, believe me.
00:47:4224, benign, 24, benign, 24, benign.
00:47:47Benign, 24, benign.
00:48:11He's still back yet.
00:48:13From where?
00:48:14He went outside.
00:48:15Oh no.
00:48:16Well, the rain's stopped.
00:48:18Storm must have passed.
00:48:19Silver, nothing is supposed to change here.
00:48:21It's still 9.24.
00:48:24What shall I do?
00:48:25You'd better find him.
00:48:29Oh, who is it?
00:48:31What?
00:48:32The person who's come here.
00:48:34Who is it?
00:48:35It didn't happen.
00:48:36We heard someone arrive.
00:48:46I don't know.
00:49:16I don't know.
00:49:46I don't know.
00:49:47I don't know.

00:51:13I don't know.
00:51:14I don't know.
00:51:23Careful, you'd hurt him.
00:51:29He's still back here.
00:51:31From where?
00:51:32He went outside.
00:51:33No.

00:55:53by minding my own business and not answering questions. that's how I got here
00:55:57and I've had nothing but questions since the minute I walked through the door
00:56:00well first she started and now you
00:56:04something happened here

00:56:14do you mind? walked from where?
00:56:16I said do you mind?

00:56:23I said walked from where?
00:56:25I don't know where from
00:56:27you forget? I don't have to remember
00:56:29the others look will you let go of it?

00:56:33a company of performers is that it?
00:56:35that's right and you're one of them? yes
00:56:37that makes sense it makes no sense how did he get here?
00:56:39I walked didn't I?
00:56:41look whatever it is that's going on here I had nothing to do with it
00:56:44I wasn't here whatever it was
00:56:46you walked from where?
00:56:49the others dropped me off up by the turnpike
00:56:51look they was going into town and I didn't want to go all right
00:56:54so they told me to meet them here
00:56:56wait for us they said at Long Toll by the service station
00:56:59that's what they said so I walked didn't I?
00:57:02let go
00:57:04only come in for a cup of tea
00:57:06what sort of people are you? who are you?
00:57:09you've done nothing but throw your weight around ever since you came here
00:57:12that's right well if this is the future
00:57:14the future that you represent well you can keep it
00:57:17doesn't it worry you? what?
00:57:19that you've been brought here from the past and trapped here
00:57:21of course that worries me
00:57:23and what about him? he has every right
00:57:25there's no time here remember?
00:57:27what's he doing here?
00:57:29he's right no what?
00:57:31no why should they be right?
00:57:35he just happened to be passing by
00:57:37here in the present time that's right
00:57:39yes he just he just came in he walked through the doors and he came in
00:57:43for a cup of tea right?
00:57:45ask him what the date is
00:57:48ask him no
00:57:54excuse me
00:57:59what day is it today?

00:58:13what what year?
00:58:15this year
00:58:17what you mean you don't know?
00:58:19we forget
00:58:21it'll be the same as it was when I woke up this morning
00:58:231957
00:58:33it rang yes
00:58:35then what?
00:58:37I answered it
00:58:39and?
00:58:43I got what you're getting now
00:58:459
00:58:4724
00:58:50two people from 1948
00:58:53and an old man from 1925
00:58:55and this character from 1957
00:58:58it doesn't make sense the numbers don't even compute to make any kind of sense
00:59:02well is there anything special about those particular years?
00:59:06nothing of great historical importance
00:59:12this
00:59:15there's something wrong
00:59:17for us? yes
00:59:20I'm gonna take another look round
00:59:22well if it's any consolation we've had one tiny victory
00:59:26that? yes
00:59:28but Silver I've already checked that it was made in 1957 and it has no sinister elements
00:59:33yes but you and I are looking for different things
00:59:36how did you get it away from him?
00:59:38well while you were keeping him busy I made a quick reproduction
00:59:42you'll never know the difference
00:59:46now then
00:59:48let's go
01:00:11show me more
01:00:19I said show me
01:00:26show me more
01:00:36I said show me
01:00:48show me
01:01:13what was that?
01:01:15oh that was me
01:01:18oh
01:01:49something wrong?
01:01:51tell you what soon as you're dodging about outside give us a shout will you?
01:01:55a shout?
01:01:57yeah if you see a grey van that'll be me mates only I'm busy you see
01:02:02all right I'll give you a shout
01:02:04might put on a bit of a show later if there's time
01:02:07like that would you?
01:02:09possibly
01:02:11bet you would
01:02:13sorry?
01:02:15bit of a show you know knees up on the table that sort of thing
01:02:17you'd love that wouldn't you darling?
01:02:19no
01:02:20well it's a chance to cheer up a bit
01:02:23why don't you get on with whatever it is you're supposed to be doing and leave us alone
01:02:27no appreciation
01:02:29shame
01:02:30shame? it's a tragedy
01:02:32listen I'm the best tambourine player on the road I'm the only musician amongst them
01:02:36play something
01:02:38I'm the best tambourine player on the road I'm the only musician amongst them
01:02:42play something
01:02:44what now?
01:02:46now
01:02:48when the others come eh?
01:02:50all right I'll look forward to that
01:03:04I don't trust these
01:03:06any of them
01:03:08it's as Sapphire says there's nothing really sinister about it
01:03:12nothing that could really harm us
01:03:14why don't you trust them?
01:03:16well it's as if
01:03:19as a musical instrument it's it's never been played
01:03:23see every musical instrument that ever was or is
01:03:27is his own recording device did you know that?
01:03:29no
01:03:30ah well listen
01:03:32do you hear that?
01:03:39you see that's just a noise
01:03:41this instrument has only ever made a noise never music
01:03:45well it's a drum isn't it? can't expect it to play a tune
01:03:48no but we can expect it to make music
01:03:50his own sort of music with some sort of rhythm
01:03:53properly handled of course
01:03:55what you're trying to say is that a man who says he's part of a traveling company
01:03:59made up of musicians and performers
01:04:01should be able to get some kind of music
01:04:03yes
01:04:05especially when he's the only real musician amongst them
01:04:08what?
01:04:09his words
01:04:18if you can make a reproduction of a tambourine
01:04:22could you make one of a car?
01:04:24a car?
01:04:26well a car would be more difficult
01:04:29with Sapphire's help we could probably make an image of the real thing but it would only be an image
01:04:32an illusion
01:04:33would that be enough to allow you to remove the real one for a closer inspection?
01:04:38well the image would fool them but only visually
01:04:40well that should be enough
01:05:00you
01:05:11makes it a long day doesn't it when there's no time
01:05:30oh
01:05:33when we've done this
01:05:35I'm going to have a walk out there
01:05:37to where those traffic sounds are
01:05:39I'd like to know what would happen if we tried to leave this place
01:05:41under the circumstances so would I
01:05:43now Silver you want me to project an image of the car
01:05:46yes as you did the last time only a fixed one this time
01:05:56so
01:06:00you
01:06:11you're trying to tell me that I'm more than 20 years adrift
01:06:14yes
01:06:15and this is the future
01:06:16that's right
01:06:17get away
01:06:18well look about you
01:06:20isn't this a little different to what you're used to
01:06:23all places look the same to me
01:06:25I never really need to look
01:06:27it's the truth
01:06:45well we don't get any older
01:06:47apparently not
01:06:54so us 20 odd years
01:06:56now you'll get ready to project the image
01:06:58the moment I drive this thing away
01:07:00but Silver won't they hear it
01:07:02oh for a fraction of a second perhaps
01:07:05I shan't be driving in a conventional way
01:07:09are you ready
01:07:10yes
01:07:11right
01:07:21I mean a future could be a lot of fun
01:07:23providing the price of a pint hasn't changed
01:07:26pint of what
01:07:35what's that
01:07:36what

01:15:11I think they answer to a higher authority
01:15:13I think they answer to a higher authority
01:15:15I think they answer to a higher authority

01:17:23silver
01:17:24and steel
01:17:26sapphire and steel have been assigned
01:17:35how many
01:17:37three the three men
01:17:46they asked me to work for them once
01:17:50I chose not to
01:17:54did they ever ask you
01:17:57yes
01:17:59and you chose not to too didn't you
01:18:03perhaps that's why we work so well together
01:18:07maybe too well
01:18:10what made you say that
01:18:13a feeling
01:18:14be more specific
01:18:18we're resented
01:18:20they resent us I mean
01:18:22they resent our achievements
01:18:25more than that
01:18:28they resent our independence
01:19:03we need the truth
01:19:25truth about your friend out there
01:19:28he wanted to tell us
01:19:30so tell us
01:19:32he's
01:19:34well he's been sent here to kill you
01:19:37it's as simple as that to kill all three of you
01:19:39sent from where
01:19:42well from what I can make out he's been
01:19:45he's been based in my time
01:19:47in 1948
01:19:49yes
01:19:50is that where you met him
01:19:52yes that's right
01:20:01you
01:20:09sent from the past into the future
01:20:11into this time
01:20:13yes
01:20:15to trap you to trick you
01:20:18so if I were you
01:20:20you better leave here you better try to escape
01:20:23we can't
01:20:25there's a barrier out by the through road
01:20:27whatever it is it completely encircles
01:20:29can you break through it
01:20:30no
01:20:36sent from the past
01:20:39they always were better organised
01:20:59who do you think they represent
01:21:02those three
01:21:05I don't know
01:21:07the only people with similar powers are
01:21:10the transient beings
01:21:17the transient beings are locked in the past where they belong
01:21:20so far yes
01:21:21they can change shape and move anywhere but only in the past
01:21:26they cannot move forward in time
01:21:31maybe they've learned
01:21:33been taught perhaps
01:21:35I mean if someone wanted to use the right people
01:21:37recruit them send them forward in time to find us
01:21:40what better choice
01:21:42than transient beings
01:21:44with an access to time
01:21:46yes
01:21:47a way of moving into the future
01:21:50yeah well they need some sort of a
01:21:53device to get here
01:21:55oh yes
01:22:19you
01:22:34when he brought you here
01:22:36yes
01:22:37how did he do it
01:22:38well how should I know
01:22:40you travelled with him didn't you
01:22:42yes of course I did
01:22:43then explain the journey
01:22:45well we just drove here
01:22:49I told you before it
01:22:52it happened without any kind of warning
01:22:54yes but you've neglected to tell us before that you knew it was going to happen
01:22:57that it was supposed to happen
01:22:59yes well um that was the plan you see his plan
01:23:02why should she help us
01:23:04why is she telling us all this
01:23:06I've been wondering that
01:23:08anyway it wasn't a garage
01:23:10what wasn't
01:23:12well this place
01:23:14well not so far in my time anyway
01:23:17what was it
01:23:19a cafe
01:23:21just a small cafe
01:23:26three different buildings
01:23:28three separate time periods
01:23:31but he chose the cafe
01:23:33in my time
01:23:35he chose to meet me
01:23:37it's romantic don't you think
01:23:41Graham
01:23:46yes
01:23:48all three of them all trying to play a trick on you to trap you
01:23:52and you
01:23:54me
01:23:56what sort of trick are you playing
01:23:58I just want to help you
01:24:01all right I care about the man
01:24:05and
01:24:07I realize that he's different I mean
01:24:10well he can probably live forever but
01:24:13well I don't mind that I mean
01:24:15I mean who wants to grow old
01:24:20I just don't want anyone to be hurt in this godforsaken place
01:24:24I don't want anything to happen to any of you
01:24:28that's why I decided to warn you
01:24:30that's why I decided to
01:24:33to tell you the truth about him and the others
01:24:36all right I love the man
01:24:38I'd probably do anything for him
01:24:41for him for him for him for him for him
01:24:54get her out of here
01:25:06get her out of here
01:25:37you

01:26:07how did he bring you here
01:26:10what did he use to cross time
01:26:13he has a case
01:26:16a tiny box
01:26:19you think it was a game at first
01:26:22but if you stare into it
01:26:24it's weird
01:26:26he let me look at it once
01:26:28it's how you imagine a
01:26:30a fortune teller's crystal to be
01:26:33you can see the future in it
01:26:35yes
01:26:37and the past
01:26:39everything
01:26:58you lost it you lost the box
01:27:00yes
01:27:01well how can we do what we came here to do without that then
01:27:04I mean we can't even return without that thing
01:27:06then help me look for it
01:27:18here comes I little Johnny Jack
01:27:20with me wife and me family on me back
01:27:22me family's large and me wife is small
01:27:25and I'm the father of them all
01:27:34you
01:27:39oi
01:27:47would you be looking for this
01:27:53a useful piece of apparatus
01:27:55it's our ticket
01:27:57and yours
01:27:59oh to the future
01:28:01oh
01:28:03how fast then
01:28:05how far back
01:28:07oh couple of hundred million years
01:28:09yeah that all would do nicely
01:28:13I'm very bad at dates
01:28:15that's the Triassic period
01:28:17there was nothing here then
01:28:19I wouldn't survive
01:28:21he's quick isn't he
01:28:3440 minutes this time
01:28:3610 then 20 then 40
01:28:39doubling up each time
01:28:41it seems that way
01:28:47it is that way
01:28:48tell me
01:28:49we have to get out of here quickly like now
01:28:51but you said there's a barrier around the place
01:28:52there is
01:28:53a barrier that we can't break
01:28:54we'll have to break it somehow
01:28:56come on Steve
01:28:57tell me
01:28:58I'll tell you on the way
01:28:59no
01:29:00you tell me now
01:29:03all right
01:29:05they have a device
01:29:07some kind of a time box
01:29:09we know that
01:29:10but the device isn't perfect
01:29:11no device can be
01:29:13no matter who tries to use it
01:29:15but time when it's been tampered with
01:29:17to this extent tries to counteract things
01:29:19with the time shifts
01:29:20yes
01:29:21on each occasion they've been doubling up
01:29:23multiplying
01:29:24but when they move again
01:29:26quadrupled
01:29:28four times 40 minutes then four times that
01:29:30what do you mean quadrupled
01:29:32from this moment on yes
01:29:33you did get it
01:29:35no
01:29:36there are now two time boxes I'm afraid
01:29:39this is another instant reproduction job
01:29:44that can get us out of here
01:29:46I hope so
01:29:47can I see it
01:29:49like a fortune teller's crystal
01:29:51that's how she described it
