01:02Mom, there's more arriving.
01:08Just relax, you'll be fine.
01:12I can't believe this.
01:14Kelly Dilley.
01:15No, this isn't the girl from the future.
01:18No, you can't talk to her.
01:34Let me speak to Alana, Mrs. Dilley.
01:35Look, I told the others already, Alana is not available for interviews.
01:38What about yourself, Mrs. Kelly? Do you believe Alana is a time traveller?
01:41You'll just have to watch it on News Probe tonight like everyone else.
01:44Did Mark Johnson dream this whole thing up to improve the ratings of his show?
01:47No.
01:55Somebody around here must know the girl.
01:57I know her. I'm Aphrodite Bloomington.
02:00Mrs. Bloomington, I believe you know the alleged time traveller.
02:03Ah, yes. I knew there was something odd about Alana the first time I saw her.
02:08Zoe knew there was something strange too.
02:10Dogs have a sixth sense about these things.
02:13The night my first granddaughter was born, Zoe woke the house barking.
02:18And I hadn't even told her that the baby was due.
02:21How did she know?
02:25There's hundreds of reporters.
02:27Petey, get down from there.
02:29But, Mum.
02:30This is driving me crazy.
02:32I'm sorry, Irene.
02:34It'll be worth it, Mum. Still, we're going to have to give the time capsule back.
02:37Oh, I hope so.
02:40Oh, hi.
02:41Oh, James.
02:44I think I'm going to spew.
02:46How did you get in?
02:47Over the back fence.
02:48Just like the old days at girl school, eh, James?
02:50Hi, Mark.
02:51Hi, g'day, Petey.
02:52Can you sign these? All the kids at school want your autograph.
02:55Not now, mate.
02:56Oh, I'm charging them 50 cents each.
02:59Yeah, great.
03:00How are you, sweetheart? You ready for the big test?
03:02I'm a bit nervous.
03:03Oh, you'll be brilliant. Have you got the transducer?
03:05It's upstairs.
03:06Well, you'd better go and get it. It's time to go.
03:12I'll go, you halves.
03:21Have you seen PJ?
03:23No.
03:24I'm sure I left it in the dresser.
03:26You won't need it. They're only interested in you and the transducer.
03:30What's the matter?
03:32I'm not going.
03:33Oh, you have to. I can't do it without you.
03:35Hey, hey, hey, hey.
03:37Watch the holder.
03:38Don't you know how to knock?
03:41Alana?
03:42I can't find PJ.
03:43Have you got the transducer?
03:48Well, that's all you need. Let's roll, sweetheart.
03:52Let's roll, sweetheart.
03:57What's it like in the S3000, Alana?
03:59Have you sold the greenhouse?
04:00Hey, hey, hey, hey.
04:01Alana's story is the exclusive property of News Pro.
04:04Oh, come on, Mark. Just five minutes with the girl.
04:06Oh, no, I'm sorry. You'll have to watch my show tonight.
04:11Silverthorne.
04:19Hey, I persuaded the network to let me use the VIP limo.
04:23All aboard.
04:36Hey, Ted, how's it going?
04:37Not doing badly.
04:41Hi, Mark.
04:43Hello, Alana. This is Simon.
04:44Hello, Alana. Great privilege to meet you.
04:46Simon's our producer. He'll be making you look good.
04:49Well, that won't be too hard.
04:50Tell me, all the girls in the future look as pretty as you?
04:54Clothes would be drab.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Well, maybe she could wear Julie's jacket.
04:58Yeah.
04:59You don't mind, do you, Julie?
05:01Her name's Jenny.
05:02Yeah?
05:03Yeah, yeah, I like the jacket. Go on.
05:05Come on, Alana. We've got to get going.
05:07Yeah?
05:08Yeah, yeah, I like the jacket. Go on.
05:09Come on, Alana. We'd better get your maid up.
05:11And what have you done to your hair? Look at this.
05:14You sure she's from the future? She seems so normal.
05:17Oh, she's for real. I'll stake my career on it.
05:22See you in the studio, folks.
05:38I hope we're doing the right thing.
05:41We are.
05:43Fifteen seconds, Mark.
05:48Fifteen seconds, Mark.
05:50Okay, everybody, let's make history.
05:52Quiet on the set.
05:53Gentlemen, please.
05:57Five.
05:58Four.
05:59Three.
06:00Two.
06:02Good evening and welcome to News Probe.
06:04I'm Mark Johnson.
06:06Last night, I introduced you to Alana,
06:09a young girl who claims to be a time traveller from the year 3000.
06:14Tonight, on national television, News Probe will test her claim.
06:19Joining me in the studio are Dr Douglas Mortimer,
06:22a physicist from Sydney University,
06:24and Patrick Blair, a member of the International Society of Skeptics.
06:29Good evening, gentlemen.
06:30Good evening.
06:31Good evening.
06:32Firstly, Dr Mortimer, is time travel possible?
06:35Well, Mark, time dilation effects have long been noted on subatomic particles
06:40moving at some substantial fraction of the speed of light.
06:44Could you say that in English?
06:46What I mean is that travel in time is theoretically possible,
06:50but it'll be a while yet before travel agents start making any money at it.
06:55I like it.
06:57Patrick, you have quite a reputation for exposing hoaxes and frauds around the world.
07:04You saw last night's show.
07:06What's your opinion of Alana's claim?
07:09Well, before I answer that, I'd like to perform a little demonstration of my own.
07:13Well, go ahead.
07:15Can I borrow your pen?
07:16Certainly.
07:34Amazing.
07:52Simple illusion, as many of these claims turn out to be.
07:56Basically, people believe what they want to believe,
07:58whereas I believe only what my senses can verify.
08:02Then stand by to be astounded, Patrick.
08:06It's now time to meet Alana, the girl from the future.
08:15There's Alana!
08:24Yay!
08:25Shut up!
08:32Welcome to the 20th century, Alana.
08:35How do you feel?
08:37Nervous.
08:38I'm not surprised.
08:39Can you tell us how time travel works?
08:42No, I'm only 14.
08:45Fair enough.
08:46I'm 36, and I still can't figure out how aeroplanes fly.
08:52Have you got the transducer with you?
08:59This is a 16-pound shot put ball.
09:03Gentlemen, would you please examine that,
09:05and satisfy yourselves that there's no trickery involved.
09:15Alana, levitate the ball.
09:21Go ahead.
09:24Something's wrong.
09:33Don't be nervous.
09:34Just take your time.
09:40It won't work.
09:41Now, Alana, just calm down and give it a try.
09:44This isn't my transducer.
09:50See, it's a fake.
09:53We'll take a break and be right back in a moment.
09:56Oh, my God.
09:59What's going on, Mark?
10:00You just give me a minute, Cy.
10:03Do you realise how many people are watching the show?
10:06Don't do this to me.
10:07Alana, Alana, are you all right?
10:10I don't understand.
10:11This isn't my transducer.
10:13Will you look at this?
10:14The whole show's a write-off.
10:15My whole career's on the line here.
10:18Someone must have switched it.
10:21Who?
10:22Mark, are we going on with this or not?
10:24No.
10:25But you've got to let her tell about Silverthorne.
10:27There is no way I'm letting her back in front of a camera.
10:30But you've got to let her.
10:31I want you out of here.
10:32You just made a fool of me on national television.
10:34Mark, I mean, it's all true.
10:35You saw it with your own eyes.
10:37You conned me.
10:38Oh, come on.
10:39Don't touch me.
10:40You set me up.
10:41Why would I do that?
10:42Mark, ten seconds, all right?
10:43You never got over the fact that I married Lydia.
10:46You're crazy.
10:47I'm crazy.
10:50Four, three, two...
10:54Well, I hope you enjoyed our little hoax.
10:57I wonder how many of you we fooled.
10:59It just goes to show that you can't believe everything you see on television.
11:04And now, the amazing story of a dog that plays xylophone in a local orchestra.
11:14Brilliant!
11:18Did you see the look on her face when it didn't work?
11:26Hey, where's the real one?
11:34Hey, have you tried it out yet?
11:43Yes.
11:59Oh, yes.
12:01Yes.
12:03Yes, come on.
12:04Yes, it's almost there.
12:05Come on, come on.
12:10Come on, you can do it.
12:14Yes.
12:17Look at that!
12:28That was fantastic.
12:31Did you see that?
12:32That was incredible.
12:33Shut up!
12:34Sorry.
12:39Lana.
12:40Lana.
12:42Don't worry, we'll think of something.
12:47This is like some dreadful nightmare.
12:50I just wish I could wake up.
12:51I'm sorry.
12:52It's all my fault.
12:53I'm not watching his show anymore.
12:57You can't just give up.
12:58We've got 11 days before the capsule leaves.
13:01What do you expect us to do, Jenny?
13:03I don't know.
13:06Let's tell the newspapers.
13:08No one will believe us now, darling.
13:10Silverthorne doesn't know this time any better than Alana does.
13:13He must have a weak spot.
13:15We just have to find it.
13:22Hello?
13:24Mom, James is here.
13:28Ready?
13:29Are you sure we're doing the right thing?
13:31We're only going to stake out his house and monitor his movements.
13:34Let's go.
13:35You kids are staying here.
13:36But, Mom.
13:37Look, Silverthorne's dangerous.
13:39I don't want you going near that place again.
13:45Is Mrs. Kelly here?
13:47Yes.
13:49Mrs. Kelly.
13:50This is Mrs. Biggins from the Department of Social Welfare.
13:53We're here to talk about Alana.
13:55The school check, the story you gave them.
13:57There are no records of an Alana Turner in Coonabarabran.
14:00Look, I'm her teacher.
14:02School records are always getting lost.
14:04Are you a relative?
14:05No.
14:06Then stay out of this.
14:08Mrs. Kelly, do you have any proof that Alana is your niece?
14:12Well, not exactly.
14:16What's happening?
14:18The department received a lot of complaints after your appearance on television, Alana.
14:22We fear that you're being exploited and you may be a child at risk.
14:26That's absurd.
14:27Don't make this difficult, Mrs. Kelly.
14:30Alana, are you here of your own free will?
14:33No, I was kidnapped.
14:35Look, she doesn't understand what...
14:36Be quiet.
14:39Now, who kidnapped you?
14:41Silverthorne.
14:43Is this him?
14:45I don't believe this.
14:47No.
14:48No, he's my teacher.
14:49Silverthorne's from the future.
14:51It's all right, dear. You can trust us.
14:53Now, where are your parents?
14:55In the E3000.
14:57Alana, unless you decide to tell us the truth, you'll have to come and stay at one of our homes.
15:02This is her home.
15:03You can't take her away.
15:06Come on, dear.
15:07Just a minute.
15:12We'll let you know where to send her things.
15:15Alana!
15:16Come along, Alana.
15:18Let her go.
15:20Come on into the car.
15:22No!
15:25Come on.
15:27Young lady.
15:28We'll let you know when to ring the department, sir.
15:36It's all right, darling. It's all right. We'll get her back.
15:38You just have to be patient.
15:40I'm going to catch a lease in ten days.
15:42We've got to get her back before it goes.
15:44Please!
16:04Mrs Jenkins, this is Alana.
16:06Hello, Alana.
16:08Welcome to Chisholm House.
16:10I'm sure you don't want to be here any longer than necessary.
16:13So let's just forget this nonsense about you being from the future, all right?
16:17You tell us your real name and we'll contact your parents.
16:20I'm sure they're very worried about you.
16:24Has there been some trouble at home?
16:26Is that why you ran away?
16:28I didn't run away. I was kidnapped.
16:30Alana, why don't you just tell us the truth?
16:33I am.
16:35Alana.
16:39Hey.
16:41You've got to let me go.
16:44Not until you give us the answers we want to hear.
17:10Alana.
17:18Alana.
17:23You hungry?
17:25Oh!
17:39You almost killed me.
17:40I need Alana.
17:43Before you got it working.
17:45I don't need a weapon.
17:49Look.
17:51When that's gone, I'm a dead man.
17:54You heard Alana say she was a healer.
17:58This is the only thing that can save me.
18:00And Alana's the only one who knows how to use it.
18:04Find her, Eddie.
18:06Fast.
18:24Shop, shop.
18:26Right, I'm coming.
18:28Your mother will be annoyed if she finds you've left this shop unattended.
18:31I could have helped myself to all the money in the till.
18:34Do you want something?
18:35I thought I'd buy a little treat for Zoe.
18:37A nice meat pie for her lunch.
18:39She hasn't been the same since all those nasty reporters were here.
18:44Make sure it isn't too hot.
18:46We don't want her to burn her little tongue, do we?
18:50I hope that's a fresh one.
18:51A fresh one?
18:53Her stomach's very sensitive.
18:57Stop, you stupid dog!
19:00Jenny?
19:03Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. B.
19:05She's still upset about Alana.
19:07Zoe!
19:08Stop eating off that filthy floor!
19:11Excuse me.
19:15Mrs. Kelly, Alana has no one else.
19:17You have to tell me where she is.
19:19You have no rights in this matter, Mrs. Kelly.
19:22The government will look after Alana until her parents are found.
19:25That may take a thousand years.
19:27Really, Mrs. Kelly, don't tell me you believe her ridiculous story.
19:32I don't know what else to think.
19:34Mrs. Kelly.
19:37I've seen this before.
19:39Alana probably comes from a broken home.
19:42In these situations, children will do extraordinary things to draw attention to themselves.
19:46Go home, Mrs. Kelly.
19:47She's not your responsibility.
19:50Yes, she is.
19:58Jenny!
19:59Jenny!
20:03Mum!
20:04I've got some good news.
20:05I found out where Alana is.
20:07Oh, great. Will they let us bring her home?
20:09We'll see.
20:17Mum!
20:36Leave that alone!
20:39I was just looking.
20:40You don't touch nothing that's not yours.
20:43I'm sorry.
20:45Something wrong, Tess?
20:46I had my stuff, Debbie.
20:48What's your name?
20:50Alana.
20:51Stand up when you talk to me!
20:54You're new around here, are you?
20:56Yeah.
20:57That's no excuse for stealing.
20:59I wasn't stealing.
21:01Don't answer back!
21:03Look, if you want to get along in this place, you've got to learn to be nice to people.
21:07Now give Tess something to make her feel better.
21:10I don't have anything.
21:12Well, find something!
21:14Leave her alone, Debbie.
21:16Come with me, Alana.
21:18But I haven't done anything.
21:20It's all right, dear.
21:22You're going home.
21:32Here she is.
21:36Come on, darling.
21:42Your father saw you on television.
21:44That's how he found you.
21:46He's not my father.
21:48He's the one who kidnapped me.
21:50She'll be fine once they get her home.
21:52Come on, dear.
21:54Don't listen to him!
21:55He's not my father!
21:58Alana, we know the truth.
22:00These are your birth certificate and school records.
22:03They're faked!
22:05The psychiatrist said she might be like this.
22:08You know your brother, Edward, don't you, dear?
22:13Hello, sis!
22:14Dion missed you!
22:17Thank you for looking after her.
22:20You don't know how much she means to me.
22:23Come along, darling.
22:27No!
22:44No!
23:14THE END
