00:30Hello, Alana.
00:37What are you doing here?
00:52Hello, Alana.
00:58But I thought you were dead.
01:01Well, as you can see, I'm alive and thriving.
01:05Have you got the time capsule?
01:07Hop in. I'll tell you.
01:19Alana, no!
01:22Petey, what happened to your mum?
01:29Killed from the future and I can't tell anyone.
01:33Petey, run!
01:39So, how you been?
01:42Won't open, Alana.
01:47Don't worry, Eddie. Alana and I are old friends.
01:52Are we?
01:54Relax, I'm not going to hurt you.
02:00Hey, I've got a great drink in this time.
02:03It's called chocolate milkshake.
02:06Have some.
02:08You'll love it.
02:10Suit yourself.
02:15Love this time.
02:20Love it.
02:21Watch this.
02:27Listen.
02:34You can buy whatever you want and when you're finished with it, you just throw it away.
02:53How about this, eh?
02:56Eddie!
02:57Not that!
03:01That's important.
03:14Drive on.
03:31Have you got money?
03:33Yeah, Alana, you can have anything you want.
03:36It's so easy to get.
03:38You know where all this came from?
03:41I won it betting on a horse race.
03:44Here.
03:46Go on, take it.
03:48Oh, come on, Alana.
03:50We're marooned.
03:52Stranded in a hostile world.
03:54We've got to help each other.
03:57Oh, well.
03:58Never mind.
03:59Plenty more where this came from.
04:05Why should I help you, Silverthorne?
04:07If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here.
04:09I'm sorry, but nobody's perfect.
04:11You left me to die in a rubbish dump.
04:14I was scared.
04:15So was I.
04:16Look, I'm not blaming you.
04:18We do what we have to to survive.
04:20Where's the time capsule?
04:22I want to go home.
04:24It's gone.
04:25Buried in a dump.
04:27We're stuck here for good.
04:36Why are we stopped?
04:38I told you about traffic lights, Mr. Silverthorne.
04:41Drive on.
04:46Whatever you say, boss.
04:57Oh, shit.
05:08Where are you taking me?
05:10I want to take care of you, Alana.
05:13Trust me.
05:14Why should I?
05:16You like to hurt people.
05:18You hurt your lister.
05:21Eddie.
05:23You're falling to the park.
05:32Look, there he is.
05:33Get him.
05:40Come with me, Alana.
05:43I need to tell you something.
06:13Look.
06:27It's beautiful, isn't it?
06:30By the year 2500, all this will be gone.
06:41In my time, Alana, the harbour's dead.
06:44The city destroyed by war.
06:47Packs of starving people fight each other in the rubble over every lousy tin of food.
06:51I had to live like an animal.
06:53Just try to imagine.
06:55Without a mask, the air is choky.
06:58Clean water's more precious than gold.
07:03We're special people, Alana.
07:06We know what's in the future.
07:08Good is to say we can't change it for the better.
07:10We can do it, Alana, you and me.
07:13But there'll be people here who'll be jealous.
07:16They'll try to destroy us.
07:19What do you want from me?
07:21I want you to teach me how to use the transducer.
07:25With a weapon like that, no one could stop us.
07:28The transducer isn't a weapon.
07:30Don't lie to me, you little scrag.
07:31I've seen what I can do.
07:32I'm not lying.
07:34Don't lie, Alana.
07:36I'm the only one here who understands you.
07:38We're the same, you and me.
07:40Nobody else cares about us.
07:45Have you got the transducer?
07:51Hand it over, Alana.
07:54No.
08:00Come on!
08:06Come on!
08:30Where'd you stop, you idiot?
08:31I don't want to damage the car.
08:32Trash the car!
08:34I want that transducer.
09:01He's gone.
09:03Oh, thank you, Jenny.
09:05Oh, I thought I'd never see you again.
09:07No worries.
09:08Who's that anyway?
09:10Silver Thorn.
09:12Dead guy from the future.
09:14Yes, except that he's not dead.
09:16And he wants the transducer, Jenny.
09:17He wants to use it as a weapon.
09:19What are we going to do?
09:21I don't know.
09:22No one's going to believe this.
09:23If only we had some proof.
09:25I got this from his vehicle.
09:27It seems to be important.
09:29It's only a newspaper photocopy.
09:30It doesn't prove anything.
09:32Maybe Irene will know what to do.
09:34You can't tell her.
09:35She might be leaving.
09:36She thinks Petey and I are in danger.
09:39You didn't tell her where we lived, did you?
09:41No.
09:42We should be safe.
09:43Don't worry.
09:44I'll think of something.
09:46Petey!
09:47We've got to go home before it's last.
10:03Help!
10:08Mom!
10:09Anybody, please help!
10:21See you, Benny.
10:32Oh, hi.
10:34Oh, Mr Rooney.
10:36Hi.
10:37Call me James.
10:39Oh, and I'm...
10:41Irene.
10:46Look, I'm sorry I was so clumsy.
10:49You didn't have to come all this way just to apologize.
10:52I was on my way home.
10:54Oh.
10:55Jenny didn't tell me you lived around here.
10:56Well, I don't really.
10:57I was just in the area.
10:59Oh.
11:01Ah, my uncle used to run a milk bar.
11:06I used to eat all the potato chips.
11:08These days it's corn chips.
11:11Oh, right.
11:13So how did Alana enjoy her first day at school?
11:17I haven't actually had a chance to talk to her about it yet.
11:20I suppose this school must be quite different from her old one.
11:24What sort of school did she go to?
11:27Just an ordinary country school.
11:30Is either of her parents a doctor?
11:33I don't think.
11:34I mean, no.
11:36Why?
11:37She must read a lot, then.
11:39She does, all the time.
11:41Has she done anything wrong?
11:43Oh, no, no.
11:44She's just a very unusual girl.
11:47Very advanced for her years.
11:49I was wondering if she'd only gone some special educational process.
11:54Would you mind if I had a chat with her?
11:56She's upstairs asleep.
11:58She had a headache.
12:00Listen, James.
12:01I really appreciate you taking such an interest, but...
12:04Jenny?
12:06Alana?
12:07Hi, sir.
12:16What's happened?
12:18Petey?
12:19Well...
12:21Alana?
12:23It was my fault.
12:25I was kidding.
12:26That's right, Mum.
12:27We were kidding around at the pinball parlour.
12:29I thought you had a headache.
12:31Well, she did.
12:32But she thought a walk in the fresh air might fix it.
12:34So I took her to play the pinnies.
12:36And these boys started picking on her because of how she looks.
12:38They started calling her names and told her to go back from where she came from.
12:42Do you know these boys?
12:43No, sir.
12:44Never seen them before.
12:45Anyway, we left.
12:47But they started following us and throwing mud.
12:49Alana wanted to fight them, but there was too many.
12:52So we ran.
12:53Gee, they were awful.
12:55You poor thing.
12:56You must feel terrible.
12:59What about you, young man?
13:00Well...
13:01Oh, Petey was great, Mum.
13:03See, Alana's headache got worse.
13:05So I took her to the vacant lot.
13:07And there was all these little kids at the fort lighting fires and petrol and stuff.
13:10And Petey was trying to get them to stop because it was dangerous.
13:13But they wouldn't listen.
13:14So he dragged them out, just in time.
13:16Because all of a sudden, the fort blew up with this really big explosion.
13:19Isn't that right, Petey?
13:21Yeah, Mum.
13:22It was fantastic.
13:23And there was smoke and stuff.
13:25And Petey got covered with soot.
13:27It was like he wasn't killed.
13:28And then we came home.
13:30What are you drinking, sir?
13:33Oh, I'm, uh...
13:35Just came by to see how Alana was.
13:37In need of a good bath and an early dinner, I think.
13:40Go on, you three. Upstairs and wash.
13:42Bye, sir.
13:46Kids.
13:53Come on, Alana. Get in the shower.
14:23Alana, don't!
14:46I have to.
14:48You've seen what the transducer can do.
14:51You've seen what the transducer can do.
14:53If Silverthorne gets hold of it, there's no power in this town that'll stop him.
14:57Why can't you just hide it?
14:58I can't take the risk of him finding it.
15:10Oh, I can't.
15:14You don't follow me?
15:20No.
15:45And in tonight's bulletin, civil war breaks out again in Southeast Asia.
15:49A huge oil spill devastates our coastline.
15:52And we take a searching look at the plight of the city's homeless children.
15:57Boring.
15:59Great! Battlezone!
16:06Hey, I was about to have that! Give it to me!
16:09Cut it out, you two.
16:10Genuine Emmy Watch Battlezone!
16:12Stupid like you!
16:13I'm not stupid!
16:15Value, value!
16:17That's right! That's good!
16:20Yes!
16:21Oh, genius!
16:24I told you two to stop it!
16:26Pinky just started it.
16:27Jenny!
16:30Hi, baby!
16:31I hate you!
16:32Right, you two.
16:33Into the kitchen.
16:34I don't want to hear another word until you finish the washing up.
16:36That's not fair!
16:37Jenny!
16:38I work all the time in the shop and Pinky never does anything!
16:40I do so!
16:41Stop it!
16:42I'm sick of you kids.
16:43If you're going to live in the house, then you've got to pull your weight.
16:46What about Lana? She never does anything.
16:52Where's she gone?
17:13Why are you all so horrible to one another?
17:17We don't mean anything by it.
17:19It's just the way families behave.
17:21We still love each other.
17:23It's a strange way of showing it.
17:26Oh, Lana.
17:28This must seem like a terrible world to you.
17:30I never belong here.
17:33It's all right, sweetheart.
17:38Darling, I understand you're homesick and you're frightened.
17:44But you're safe here. We'll look after you.
17:48You do trust me, don't you?
17:53And Jenny?
17:55But she lies sometimes.
17:58She has a vivid imagination.
18:00Yes.
18:03Lana, you have to believe us.
18:05Things are going to work out.
18:08You're young. You'll learn.
18:10In fact, I think you're going to be able to do a lot of good for this world.
18:15I know.
18:17Well, what were you going to do when you grew up?
18:21I was training to be a healer.
18:23There you go.
18:24But I can't do it without the transducer.
18:29She asked me to smash it.
18:31Oh, Jenny.
18:32Sorry.
18:38Sorry, Lana. Guess I lied again.
18:41Thank you, Jenny.
18:47So you can still be a healer after all.
18:50Just don't take that thing to school.
18:53I'm sorry I lost control.
18:55I've never cried like this before.
18:57Don't you feel better for it?
18:59I think maybe there's some things that our time can teach yours.
19:05Come on.
19:21Oh, turn this one up. It's cool.
19:24Come on.
19:26Come on, Lana.
19:53Yes.
20:02Doesn't your mother make sandwiches on there?
20:07The usual, Mrs. B?
20:09Yes, thank you, Jennifer.
20:11Get Mrs. Bloomington to pay for Alana.
20:14Aren't you going to introduce me, Jennifer?
20:17Mrs. Bloomington, this is my cousin Alana.
20:19Alana, meet Mrs. Bloomington.
20:20Alana from Coonabarra Branch.
20:22She's staying with us for a while.
20:24What a coincidence. I've got a cousin who lives there too.
20:26Do you know?
20:28We saw her this morning. Didn't get run over, did she?
20:30Jennifer, don't even think it.
20:33Knock on wood.
20:35The poor puppy's in bed with a cold.
20:38Oh, I think she's giving it me too.
20:43Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
20:45Colds are such a nuisance.
20:47I don't know why I'm always getting so many.
20:48You're too fat.
20:50If you lost weight, your immune system would function more efficiently
20:52and you wouldn't get colds.
20:54I don't care where you're from.
20:56Someone ought to teach you some manners.
21:02Oh, the cheek.
21:19You get into more trouble telling the truth
21:21than I do telling lies.
21:23Jenny, look.
21:25This piece of paper took from Silverthorne yesterday.
21:27That's right.
21:29It's impossible. It's exactly the same as today's paper.
21:31Do you know what this means?
21:33It's got a really good news agent.
21:35It's either that or we're going mad.
21:37It means Silverthorne is lying.
21:39The time capsule hasn't been destroyed.
21:41I don't get it.
21:43The time capsule has a computer on board.
21:45Its memory contains all the historical records
21:46available in my time.
21:48Silverthorne must have found a copy of this paper
21:50in the computer memory and got a printout.
21:52But I just don't understand why.
21:58That's how we made so much money.
22:00What?
22:02Horse racing.
22:04What's horse racing?
22:06A whole lot of horses run around in circles.
22:08People make money by guessing which one comes first.
22:10Silverthorne already knew which horse was going to win
22:12every race because he already had the results.
22:13He can predict the future.
22:15Do you know what this means?
22:17Yes.
22:19It means I can go home.
22:21We just have to find out where Silverthorne has the time capsule.
22:27What are these numbers?
22:29It's the license number of Silverthorne's car.
22:31I memorized it.
22:33It means we can find out where he lives.
22:35And I can get the time capsule back.
22:37I don't think Silverthorne's going to be too happy about that.
22:43I don't think so.
23:13I don't think so.
