00:03:33He liked the style of it.
00:03:34My God.
00:03:36One look, that's all he needed.
00:03:37His mind was made up.
00:03:39He said it spoke to him.
00:03:40It spoke to him.
00:03:41So it did.
00:03:42I know what it said.
00:03:43Mr. Ryan, for pity's sake, don't knock me down.
00:03:45He could have built from new at half the cost.
00:03:47How long have you been down here?
00:03:50Three, four months.
00:03:52You know someone stashed away in there?
00:03:54Why not?
00:03:56Hardly.
00:03:57Quite like it.
00:03:58It's quite a start.
00:03:58Here they come.
00:04:02Here they come.
00:04:14Eddie Holmes is a great help.
00:04:16Hey, you missed your gear and position.
00:04:18Hey, you missed your gear and position.
00:04:18You're a good man, Eddie.
00:04:23Hi, Peter.
00:04:24Setting a good example.
00:04:25Conscientious boss.
00:04:26Always the first in.
00:04:27You see what I got?
00:04:28A bunch of kids.
00:04:29Master.
00:04:29He's a good man.
00:04:59I'm coming in pieces.
00:05:15I'm coming in pieces.
00:05:15I'm coming in pieces.
00:05:23What are you doing?
00:05:24You're sacrificing the martial arts.
00:05:26All right, bring it up.
00:05:28That's enough.
00:05:28Come on, bring it up.
00:05:29Bring it up.
00:05:30All right, guys.
00:05:31Come on, idiot.
00:05:33Just a bit of clowning.
00:05:34Innocent clowning, sir!
00:05:35Innocent, you lot.
00:05:36You missed all the fun, Jill.
00:05:37It's a sacrifice to Martian.
00:05:39There's your late.
00:05:39It's a bride's privilege.
00:05:41I beg your pardon.
00:05:45You're shaking.
00:05:47I was nearly in an accident.
00:05:50Oh, where?
00:05:52Outside here.
00:05:53I had a sort of momentary...
00:05:56I don't know.
00:05:57Blackout is the usual word.
00:06:00It wasn't that.
00:06:01You should have been with me.
00:06:02I should have been driving you.
00:06:04I'm sorry I couldn't make last night.
00:06:07Please.
00:06:08So now you'll get accident-prone.
00:06:09Nothing happened.
00:06:15Welcome to Taskerland.
00:06:16Thank you!
00:06:17It doesn't look much now, but wait till it's finished, then you get the full horror.
00:06:20Don't put them off.
00:06:20Everybody know Roy Collinson, housemaster and bunny mother?
00:06:23Any problems connected with the move, finding digs in the area, housing wives and harems?
00:06:29See, Colleen.
00:06:30Why is it called that?
00:06:31Taskerland.
00:06:31Yes, what's it mean?
00:06:32What?
00:06:34Well, it was built by a man called Tasker.
00:06:37Original.
00:06:37I like it.
00:06:38I like it.
00:06:39And these were his lands.
00:06:40He made a fortune out of iron railings.
00:06:41It's not ancient, then, ma'am.
00:06:42Sorry to disappoint.
00:06:43No, it was built about 1880.
00:06:45Mostly owned by the one family.
00:06:46Requisitioned during the Second World War by the American forces.
00:06:49Derelict ever since.
00:06:50Right.
00:06:51Let's borrow their paws.
00:06:53Lift.
00:06:54Soon to operate.
00:06:55I hope my office is up there.
00:06:57And very palatial.
00:06:58Of course, a wyby boss.
00:06:59Reception desk with Sergeant Patterson.
00:07:02Sergeant, get to know these faces.
00:07:03I know some already, sir.
00:07:05Here on, we're secret.
00:07:07So no chums in, no parties in the canteen.
00:07:10Which, by the way, is through there and extremely decent.
00:07:12And working.
00:07:13Lose that way.
00:07:13Also working.
00:07:14Right.
00:07:15Follow me.
00:07:15Follow me.
00:07:17Follow me.
00:07:19Follow me.
00:07:25This is lab one.
00:07:27Soon there'll be twerthers like it to spread into.
00:07:29And if that's not enough, there are 500 acres outside.
00:07:32Who else is coming here?
00:07:33Nobody.
00:07:34Just us.
00:07:34It's enormous.
00:07:35We'll get bigger.
00:07:36I'll expand the team with people I choose and picked.
00:07:39The best.
00:07:40Same as you're the best.
00:07:41I flattery, Pete.
00:07:42Gets them a lot of places.
00:07:43Yeah.
00:07:44This lab.
00:07:44Absolutely fantastic.
00:07:45What about the others?
00:07:47The washing machine crowd.
00:07:48Here.
00:07:48Forget it.
00:07:49What?
00:07:50That lot here?
00:07:50No.
00:07:51Can't you get it through your heads?
00:07:53You're special.
00:07:54Incredible as that may seem, you are.
00:07:56I'll spell it out for you.
00:07:57This place is ours.
00:08:00It is all for us.
00:08:02Because we are on the big one.
00:08:06Do you want a pep talk?
00:08:07Is that what you want?
00:08:07About the Japs?
00:08:08No, he's a bit simple.
00:08:11He's brilliant, but simple.
00:08:12Cliff, it is always about the Japs.
00:08:15In ten years' time, they're going to have us by whatever part of our anatomy they pick.
00:08:19There will be no electronics industry anywhere in the world but theirs.
00:08:22Unless...
00:08:22I think we've got a good chance.
00:08:23We've only got one chance.
00:08:25We've got to play a card so high they can't top it.
00:08:27Ah, so.
00:08:29A completely new recording medium.
00:08:31Up here in honourable pockets.
00:08:33Oh, shut up, Stuart.
00:08:34Oh, what about tape?
00:08:35Tape's finished.
00:08:36Well, it's still in...
00:08:37No, it's day is done.
00:08:39Magnetic tape is compact, responsive.
00:08:41All the sales shut up says it is.
00:08:43Also, delicate and prone to lose its memory.
00:08:46Like Clifford here.
00:08:48As you so rightly say.
00:08:50Now, it's time, gentlemen, for a breakthrough.
00:08:52Just record me, say, the whole of Wagner's ring cycle inside of all bearing.
00:08:56With instant playback, of course.
00:08:57Can you give it to lunchtime?
00:08:58And you can name your own royalties.
00:09:00Oh, it is royalties, then.
00:09:01Yep.
00:09:02Forget about bonuses.
00:09:03You'll be right in there.
00:09:03Got his word on it.
00:09:04Himself?
00:09:05Yesterday.
00:09:05Just put the boots in old Nippon, is how he delicately phrased it.
00:09:10So if you want to be millionaires, it's a crushed programme.
00:09:13Find the medium, everything else follows.
00:09:15Hardware?
00:09:15Well, take the lot.
00:09:17Computers, TV, home recordings, satellites, they all follow.
00:09:22Then Ryan Electrics becomes Ryan International, becomes Ryan Interspacial.
00:09:28It's up to you.
00:09:29I love this man's modesty.
00:09:31Thanks to Eddie, find all your junk in familiar order.
00:09:34Hmm, disorder.
00:09:36Obviously, sorry.
00:09:37All this string.
00:09:39Now, your pet projects are going as before.
00:09:42Eddie's digital crystal and so on.
00:09:44But we're going to try something new.
00:09:45We'll correlate all results together.
00:09:47What if there's no connection?
00:09:49The computer might spot that.
00:09:51Every clue counts.
00:09:53Puts a lot on the programmer.
00:09:56Now, Jill's ready.
00:09:58She's going to try something very sophisticated.
00:10:01Projections, extrapolations, a sort of randomised mix with an accelerated uncertainty principle.
00:10:06How's that?
00:10:10Something of the sort.
00:10:12You all right?
00:10:14Yes, I...
00:10:17Uh, what about data storage?
00:10:20And these are all we've got.
00:10:20Collie, computer storage room.
00:10:22When do we get it?
00:10:23Ah, yes.
00:10:23Well, um...
00:10:24What?
00:10:24There have been problems.
00:10:26Sorry.
00:10:30You were here to solve them.
00:10:32Collie, how much have they done?
00:10:33Nothing.
00:10:38Let me see.
00:10:38Five months and not a single...
00:11:07Why didn't you report it?
00:11:08I knew there were reasons.
00:11:09They had to finish the priority job.
00:11:11Collie, this was priority.
00:11:13To be fair, it wasn't in phase one.
00:11:14Re-facing and air conditioning and wiring.
00:11:16Did they just forget it?
00:11:17No.
00:11:17What then?
00:11:18Problems with the men.
00:11:20They claimed it was, well, I don't know, dirty job.
00:11:23Yeah, there's...
00:11:24There's dry rot.
00:11:25They think it's catching.
00:11:27Look at these panels.
00:11:29They'll shift the lot in half and half.
00:11:38Stairs.
00:11:44Yes, they saw those.
00:11:46So?
00:11:46They don't lead anywhere.
00:11:48Oh, surely that wasn't.
00:11:50What else did they find?
00:11:51A skeleton?
00:11:52No.
00:11:53About 30 tins of spam, as a matter of fact.
00:11:55Spam?
00:11:55And a letter to Father Christmas.
00:12:03U.S. Army issue.
00:12:04Doubt of its fit now.
00:12:06They must have got forced in through the panelling.
00:12:08The Yanks used this for a storm.
00:12:10Then did it carcate.
00:12:11Trying to quell the rot.
00:12:12Even then?
00:12:13It was empty before the war.
00:12:15When the rot gets really going like this,
00:12:16they call it weeping.
00:12:18Weeping fungus.
00:12:19Good word.
00:12:25Christmas Eve.
00:12:27Oh, yes, that's it.
00:12:29What I want for Christmas.
00:12:31Kids writing.
00:12:44Even the stone's got it.
00:12:45It's just very old.
00:12:471880?
00:12:48That was when they paddled it in.
00:12:49But those walls are a lot older than the rest of the house.
00:12:51They've just been built onto.
00:12:53In fact, they must have been knocked down and rebuilt
00:12:55and generally messed around a lot in the last thousand years.
00:12:57What?
00:12:58Oh, yes, the foundations might be Saxon.
00:13:01Saxon?
00:13:02Just an amateur opinion.
00:13:03Oh, my God.
00:13:05Reformed amateur.
00:13:06If you're right, you see what this means, don't you?
00:13:09They'll be in here, the environment boys are conservationists,
00:13:12nailing their little notices on the door,
00:13:14and writs, and they could stop everything
00:13:16if they got onto this.
00:13:20What about the architect?
00:13:22That architect?
00:13:23Didn't he spot anything?
00:13:23Not him.
00:13:24He quit.
00:13:25Right.
00:13:26If we move fast, get everything concreted over,
00:13:28get the machines moved in.
00:13:29Where are the men now?
00:13:30Working on the back.
00:13:31Come on.
00:13:32Don't worry, love.
00:13:33You'll get your storage room.
00:13:36I'll leave.
00:13:36Come on.
00:14:06Come on.
00:14:37It's all right.
00:14:39It's all right now.
00:14:41Jill.
00:14:43I hate it, please.
00:14:45I can't stay here.
00:14:46Take me away, Peter.
00:14:48Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill.
00:14:49Easy, easy.
00:14:51I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before.
00:14:54Tell me about it.
00:14:54What?
00:14:55The accident.
00:14:56Oh, it wasn't that.
00:14:57Oh, come on.
00:14:58Tell me.
00:14:58I hate a pile of sand, that's all.
00:15:02There were some vans and I couldn't have been watching it.
00:15:06Oh, I hate it here.
00:15:08I didn't want to come here.
00:15:10No.
00:15:12No, you didn't.
00:15:14Here.
00:15:15Give me the wet hanky.
00:15:19Not the hanky.
00:15:24That's a Father Christmas letter.
00:15:26What I want for Christmas is please go away, Martin Tarska.
00:15:38Well?
00:15:39Not what you'd say.
00:15:41Oh, I don't know.
00:15:42One of my kids is like that.
00:15:43I hate the idea of him coming down the chimney.
00:15:46It wasn't to Father Christmas.
00:15:48Who then?
00:15:50I know.
00:15:54I think I know.
00:16:00What do you think of the place?
00:16:03They done a bit since we came round that time.
00:16:06All the shelving and everything.
00:16:08I quite liked it, even without the shelving.
00:16:14Didn't you?
00:16:17You know what this is about.
00:16:19You're getting at me.
00:16:21Mind you, I quite enjoyed your previous ploys.
00:16:23How Christine and the kids, how Timothy's mumps, how's the dog's toothache.
00:16:27Oh, my Jilly.
00:16:28You're a very female one.
00:16:32I need you.
00:16:34I know you weren't keen to transfer,
00:16:36but I need you for your brain.
00:16:41Now, if you're in any dog,
00:16:42you ask Eddie and the boys.
00:16:45And what's in here
00:16:47is so rare
00:16:50and valuable.
00:16:52do it your own way.
00:16:56You commute home to old mummy
00:16:58or stay here.
00:17:01Stay.
00:17:06Sometimes, anyway.
00:17:07I saw a ghost.
00:17:20We'll get out of here for a while.
00:17:21Leave Collie to fight the labor relations, huh?
00:17:26Let's go.
00:17:26Let's go.
00:17:26One soup for one lager.
00:17:40One for yourself.
00:17:41Oh, tar.
00:17:42No, thank you.
00:17:44Is it really true they're making poison gas up there?
00:17:47We aren't.
00:17:48It's what I heard.
00:17:49Not a whiff.
00:17:50I mean germs.
00:17:52You know what I mean.
00:17:53Do you know the place?
00:17:54No, I've only been here a month.
00:17:56Well, that'll be, with the bread,
00:17:58one pound 80p.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:05I mean, it won't do us any good.
00:18:07People, they don't like that sort of thing.
00:18:09It's nothing bad.
00:18:11We all know what secret means.
00:18:12What secret means?
00:18:19Cheers.
00:18:20I believe it's been made very nice.
00:18:22Do you know it?
00:18:24Well, I used to, sort of.
00:18:27You went there?
00:18:28Not actually in.
00:18:30It was during the war when the Yanks were there.
00:18:33I was a good time girl.
00:18:35Hooray for you.
00:18:36Yes.
00:18:37Well, why not?
00:18:39They was nice boys.
00:18:41And the nylons.
00:18:43Did they talk about it?
00:18:44About the house?
00:18:45Oh.
00:18:46It was all generals and people.
00:18:49Some in quarters.
00:18:50Eisenhower was there once.
00:18:52No, I mean, what it was like inside.
00:18:54No.
00:18:55No.
00:18:57Very posh, I expect.
00:18:59Oh.
00:19:00There was one boy.
00:19:01He was a proper caution, he was.
00:19:03He said, oh, now, let me think.
00:19:09Oh, dear.
00:19:10He had all them funny words, you see.
00:19:13He was a coloured boy.
00:19:16Oh.
00:19:17Oh, I know.
00:19:19Gappy.
00:19:20He said there were guppies in the store where he worked.
00:19:24Gappy's a fish.
00:19:26Tropical.
00:19:26Oh, dear.
00:19:30Dappies?
00:19:31He must have meant rats.
00:19:33You don't know, Alan.
00:19:35Tarscalan's full of rats.
00:19:36We used to play up there when I was a kid.
00:19:39Oh, yes.
00:19:40You and that Jackie.
00:19:44Yes.
00:19:45Old Jackie.
00:19:47We used to do dares.
00:19:49The end room.
00:19:50Do you know it?
00:19:52Yes.
00:19:53Stand there in the dark long enough, you'd hear them all noising about and squealing.
00:19:58Did you see them?
00:19:59What was there to see if they was behind the woodwork?
00:20:08Who else would know about it?
00:20:09About the house?
00:20:13You've seen the parish registers.
00:20:16Not many cascas there are among the births and marriages.
00:20:20They were not statistically prominent.
00:20:23But apart from the registers, I...
00:20:25We're wasting your valuable time.
00:20:27No, please.
00:20:28It's quite all right if I can only be...
00:20:29I just thought there might be something more personal about the family and the house.
00:20:33Ah, yes.
00:20:35Now.
00:20:38Old serpents.
00:20:39Now, who on earth would want to hear today about...
00:20:41Did you know them, the taskers?
00:20:43Oh, they'd all gone before I came.
00:20:46Died out.
00:20:47Well, that last one was a recluse, I believe.
00:20:49Now, there must be some odds and ends from my predecessor's time, I fancy, somewhere here.
00:20:55Well, you know, it came to me the other day about pollution.
00:21:01It's the modern rediscovery of sin.
00:21:04Well, it's the only form it can take in a materialist world.
00:21:07All the rubbish and mess.
00:21:09Now, that's the new wickedness.
00:21:10And they can see it.
00:21:12The sudden conviction of...
00:21:13Well, of non-returnable bottles, eh?
00:21:17Yes, yes.
00:21:18I do like it.
00:21:18Them sackcloth and ashes.
00:21:19Oh, plenty of ashes.
00:21:21I think we'd better be going on.
00:21:22Oh, dear.
00:21:23It was just a thought.
00:21:24Yes, well, I...
00:21:25Come again and perhaps...
00:21:27Thanks, anyway.
00:21:27I may...
00:21:28They must have been funny people.
00:21:31There was something about an exorcism once.
00:21:35Exorcism?
00:21:36Now, I can't approve of that.
00:21:38I know it's in the prayer book, but...
00:21:40Oh, dear, dear.
00:21:41You do mean laying a ghost.
00:21:43Well, it was either there or...
00:21:46Who now was it?
00:21:47I may be maligning them.
00:21:49When was it?
00:21:50Oh, long, long ago.
00:21:52I feel I'm obsolete, but not sinful.
00:21:55I cause so little pollution apart from TV's
00:21:58that my hands eat those up.
00:22:01In.
00:22:03How'd it go?
00:22:04Well, I've made a start clearing the old panelling out.
00:22:06I'm just making a report.
00:22:09I'd leave them to it.
00:22:11They were decidedly tricky.
00:22:13Any reason given?
00:22:14Nope.
00:22:14I just don't like it.
00:22:16Come in.
00:22:17Have a drink.
00:22:18Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:22:22How's fuel now?
00:22:24I'll send her home.
00:22:25Just as well.
00:22:26Nasty shake.
00:22:27No, it's just the car.
00:22:28Huh?
00:22:29Bloody wind.
00:22:30I've, um, only admired her from afar,
00:22:40but I'd say that she's the type that hurts easily.
00:22:44Collie, were there any rats?
00:22:46Where?
00:22:46In that inn room.
00:22:47No.
00:22:48Any sign there'd been any?
00:22:49Rats wouldn't have left that scrum.
00:22:51They'd have chewed those tins open in no time.
00:22:53They could do that?
00:22:54The teeth of a hungry rat.
00:22:56Here.
00:22:57Cheers.
00:23:01I've got some work to finish.
00:23:02I think I might stop over tonight.
00:23:03Break in the director's suite a bit, eh?
00:23:05I was up in town last week.
00:23:10Dropped in on the legal department.
00:23:12One or two things I wanted to clear up
00:23:13about the house here, covenants and so on.
00:23:15They've got boxes and boxes of stuff.
00:23:18Passed over by the trustees, I suppose.
00:23:21I brought one back.
00:23:25One or two curiosities in it.
00:23:29How'd you like this?
00:23:31Application for holding a service of exorcism.
00:23:34What?
00:23:35August 1892.
00:23:37Let me see.
00:23:39Full record of the alleged haunting.
00:23:41Evidence, I suppose.
00:23:43Louisa Hanks.
00:23:44That's her.
00:23:45There's also a report of her death.
00:23:48Here.
00:23:521890.
00:23:53Two years before.
00:23:55Sad mishap at Taskerlands.
00:23:57Louisa Hanks,
00:23:58under-made in the employ of Mr. Horace Tasker yesterday,
00:24:02fell to her death from a flight of steps
00:24:03while engaged to barter duties.
00:24:06That's all.
00:24:08Pretty good press for an under-maiden those days.
00:24:10And they thought...
00:24:11Well, more than thought.
00:24:12They kept a note of all the dates and times,
00:24:14went on doing it for ages afterwards.
00:24:16You see, the ghost-laying didn't take...
00:24:18Collie, have you seen it?
00:24:27Only heard.
00:24:28And you heard.
00:24:29They mattered.
00:24:30All the toys and recordings were buried by my hand.
00:24:30I might lose.
00:24:32That's all.
00:24:32They tried to call her Das Kahn.
00:24:34Don't be heard but...
00:24:35couldn't...
00:24:36Let them be.
00:24:36They did their manual men.
00:24:37They tried to plan to help her with for Zoe.
00:24:38They don't know.
00:24:38Oh, you could write.
00:24:39Oh, you could think that.
00:24:40They don't know what it was.
00:24:41Oh, you could do.
00:24:41And they don't have.
00:24:41So, come on.
00:24:42Oh, you could find me.
00:24:42I could remember.
00:24:44I could feel like Timothy.
00:24:44Ooh, what's your name?
00:24:45So, come on.
00:24:46Don't worry.
00:24:47Oh, any diz, don't worry.
00:24:48Send another text.
00:24:49Christine.
00:25:14Hello, honey.
00:25:16I'm still at this place.
00:25:17I won't be home.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:19Yes.
00:25:20Yes, I've eaten.
00:25:21All I should.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25How's, uh, how's what's his name?
00:25:28The horse.
00:25:29Yeah, yeah, Chuffy.
00:25:32Yeah, yeah.
00:25:34It, was it inside the hoof?
00:25:37Yeah.
00:25:39Oh, good.
00:25:40Good, good, good.
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:42Love to the kids then, hmm?
00:25:45Fine.
00:25:46Bye, darling.
00:25:46I'm fine.
00:26:06I'm fine.
00:26:06I don't know.
00:26:36I don't know.
00:27:06I don't know.
00:27:36I've got something to tell you all.
00:27:46We've got a ghost.
00:27:52Oh, I'm glad to hear that, Peter.
00:27:53Every home should have one.
00:27:54Every stage, you know.
00:27:55Had me worried, this lack of class.
00:27:57Not a chance.
00:27:59Talked to you then yourself?
00:28:00Yes, I did.
00:28:00Push it any further.
00:28:01There'll be a general walkout.
00:28:03That's it, then.
00:28:04What's this about, Peter?
00:28:05Well, you did say ghost.
00:28:07Oh, silly word.
00:28:08Don't be put off by it.
00:28:09Call it a phenomenon, if you like.
00:28:11Anyway, it's real.
00:28:13He's got possession of the computer storage room, and it's stopped all work there.
00:28:16Well, the men won't go back.
00:28:20They were going on about something in the canteen.
00:28:22Yes, I thought it was a muck.
00:28:23Yeah, I wondered.
00:28:24Well, whatever it is, I've heard it.
00:28:27Collie's heard it.
00:28:29And Jill's seen it.
00:28:33Jill?
00:28:33Is that what got you?
00:28:36Yes.
00:28:37What did you see?
00:28:38A woman.
00:28:40Oh, come off me.
00:28:41No, really.
00:28:42No, she's not kidding.
00:28:43None of us are.
00:28:46Hey, let's go in there.
00:28:47Come on.
00:28:48I'm scared.
00:28:49Just hold my hand, dear.
00:28:50All right, thanks for the enthusiasm, because I intend to use it.
00:28:54What do you mean, Peter?
00:28:55They once had a go at it with bell, book, and candle.
00:28:58Well, we're rather better equipped.
00:29:01I'm going to chuck the lot at it.
00:29:02Do you mean go after it with electronics and then...
00:29:04Fine art, exactly.
00:29:05What makes it?
00:29:06Well, it doesn't tick.
00:29:08It patters its feet and screeches.
00:29:10Everything we get, Jill's going to program in the computer.
00:29:12Analyze a spook.
00:29:13Let's say it's a mass of data.
00:29:16Waiting for a correct interpretation.
00:29:19No one's ever managed it before.
00:29:21I think we might.
00:29:22Can you spare the time?
00:29:23No choice, Collie.
00:29:26It's got us stuck.
00:29:28All right, about eating fungus?
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:30All in the place.
00:29:31Right down the walls now.
00:29:32Yeah, this is still strong here.
00:29:33Which might sound?
00:29:35Stereo.
00:29:37Where did you see?
00:29:38Near the top of the steps.
00:29:39Where she fell off.
00:29:42There must have been an upper floor where those holes are.
00:29:48Do you suppose she was going up to it?
00:29:50No, it was total ruin when Tarska bought.
00:29:51It's all in the deeds.
00:29:53He just roofed it and patched it and made it part of the house to sort of follow him.
00:29:56Then where was she going?
00:29:58Probably a big asphodister up there and she had to water it.
00:30:01And died.
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:02Odd, that.
00:30:04You'd have thought she'd just break a leg or something.
00:30:07It's not high enough.
00:30:09High enough for poor Louisa.
00:30:11And then they panelled it over to hide it all.
00:30:14Big echo in here, Stuart.
00:30:15We ought to measure it.
00:30:17Now, someone to make a loud noise with.
00:30:18What's all this?
00:30:20It's a spam.
00:30:21Somebody to make Feely the ghost.
00:30:24Perhaps they were.
00:30:26I think I'll get my coat.
00:30:27Oh, get mine, will you?
00:30:29I'll spare us, will you?
00:30:31What?
00:30:31All these, eh, these ghostly shivers.
00:30:34No, eh.
00:30:35It's just chilly.
00:30:36Why, don't you feel it?
00:30:37Oh, do you mind?
00:30:41Close out.
00:30:42All right, I'll take it.
00:30:43All right.
00:30:45Testing room wavelength, take one.
00:30:49Stop it!
00:30:50Oh, stop it!
00:30:51All right, Eddie, that's enough.
00:31:05That was it.
00:31:06That was it?
00:31:08It was by the steps.
00:31:09No, it was by the door.
00:31:10No, no, it wasn't.
00:31:11It's a state link.
00:31:11What did you hear?
00:31:12Get over here.
00:31:13I'm not clear.
00:31:13I'm hearing it.
00:31:14It was deafening.
00:31:15It wasn't loud.
00:31:16Not loud, I heard it.
00:31:18Just close.
00:31:19That's right.
00:31:20There's no perspective on it.
00:31:21What did you hear?
00:31:22No, that didn't hear a thing.
00:31:23I saw her, again.
00:31:26Same place?
00:31:27No, there.
00:31:31White clothes.
00:31:32Solid?
00:31:33Yes, quite solid.
00:31:35Was she moving?
00:31:36I think so.
00:31:37There was something wrong, the way she moved.
00:31:40How?
00:31:41Sort of twisting.
00:31:42Let's hear it again, Cliff.
00:31:54Testing room wavelength, take one.
00:31:59Stop it!
00:32:00Oh, stop it!
00:32:00All right, Eddie, that's enough.
00:32:01It's not there.
00:32:11Didn't record.
00:32:13I got them on my headphones.
00:32:15Look, I don't get this.
00:32:16Hey, let me test this thing.
00:32:17She got away.
00:32:38Hey.
00:32:38It's the screaming.
00:32:49Yep.
00:32:51Could you hear it from your hut?
00:32:53No, only when I went into the room.
00:32:55Tom.
00:32:57Well, I just can't stand a woman's screams.
00:33:00Soft-hearted.
00:33:01I was with my wife in a car crash.
00:33:04Killed?
00:33:05No.
00:33:07Divorced.
00:33:09Might have something to do with it.
00:33:11But, um...
00:33:12Well, this is even worse, in a way.
00:33:15Worse?
00:33:16Well, a living person in that pain, you can try and help.
00:33:19Here, you can't.
00:33:20I'm going to be very old and stuffy and say, drop the whole thing.
00:33:29No.
00:33:30If you really see something, it must mean extra sensitivity.
00:33:34I'm a medium.
00:33:35Well, that makes it sound ridiculous.
00:33:36Knocks on the table.
00:33:37One for yes, two for no.
00:33:39I'm serious.
00:33:41Get all college data on fire.
00:33:43Let's stand by to take real time from next door.
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:45Jill, can you start blocking something hard?
00:33:46Heuristic stuff?
00:33:48Those won't touch it.
00:33:48Book time on the central computer.
00:33:50If you need to get through to Chicago.
00:33:52All in code, Collie.
00:33:53It stays our little secret.
00:33:54Who pays?
00:33:55Himself.
00:33:56So he'd love it if he knew.
00:33:58There's a full account of the first five years from 1890 and also the past six months.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:03Well, what about the bit in between?
00:34:04The odd 80 years?
00:34:06We got a witness.
00:34:10Cameras?
00:34:11What's all this stuff?
00:34:12What's it for?
00:34:12I told you.
00:34:13Ignore it.
00:34:14I didn't want to come.
00:34:15Just a few simple questions.
00:34:16It won't take long.
00:34:18You remember this room?
00:34:22I was just a kid.
00:34:23You did come in here?
00:34:26I suppose so.
00:34:27You're not sure?
00:34:29Well, I did then.
00:34:32How often?
00:34:36We knew we weren't rightly met.
00:34:37Many times in a year, say.
00:34:41Ten times?
00:34:42A dozen?
00:34:42You said between 1952 and 1955.
00:34:45Maybe a total of, what, 30 visits?
00:34:48Did you get that, Stu?
00:34:50I got it.
00:34:50And you heard rats?
00:34:56Sometimes.
00:34:57Only sometimes.
00:34:59Nearly every time, if we waited.
00:35:01Nearly every time.
00:35:05We made these dares out of it, see?
00:35:08All rats are dirty customers.
00:35:10They'll go for you.
00:35:11We used to fool about all over the house, smash it up a bit, you know?
00:35:14You're a country lad.
00:35:16You know the sound rats make.
00:35:17I reckon we must have bust all the windows.
00:35:19Real bad we were.
00:35:21We used to see who could find a pane of glass, still whole, and smash.
00:35:27Cost you a lot to put it right, did it?
00:35:30Look, look, I'd better go now.
00:35:31There'll be trouble if I don't get back.
00:35:33That old cow down there should...
00:35:34I reckon I'll just get along.
00:35:48It's there.
00:35:49Can't you hear it?
00:36:04It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
00:36:33I want to be like Jackie.
00:36:35It's all right, it's all right.
00:36:36All right, Roger.
00:36:37Get some water, whiskey, innit?
00:36:40You've never been in that room, have you?
00:36:42Oh, no, you're lying.
00:36:43Peter.
00:36:44You stayed at the door and listened.
00:36:45You knew what it was.
00:36:46Leave him alone.
00:36:47You were afraid of it.
00:36:48Well, why not?
00:36:49Why shouldn't he be?
00:36:50It's a normal human reaction.
00:36:52He's the sane one.
00:36:53We're the freaks.
00:36:53Look.
00:37:03Nothing.
00:37:18What happened to Jackie?
00:37:20Eh?
00:37:20You said just now...
00:37:21We never done nothing to him.
00:37:22It was the door got stuck.
00:37:24That door.
00:37:25He was inside the room.
00:37:26We never meant...
00:37:28We couldn't help it, could we?
00:37:32He's all right, old Jackie.
00:37:34Did he see it?
00:37:36He made out it spoke to him.
00:37:39Then the others come.
00:37:41The others?
00:37:42It was just his talk, see.
00:37:44What happened to him?
00:37:48He's all right.
00:37:49He's got this job, hasn't he?
00:37:50Can I meet him?
00:37:51What for?
00:37:52He don't remember.
00:37:53They took him up the county.
00:37:55Where?
00:37:56The county, you know.
00:37:57They put him right.
00:37:59They can do that.
00:38:00He don't care a button.
00:38:01He just laughs all the time.
00:38:04He's all right.
00:38:07Hey, hang on.
00:38:08I'll get a carton.
00:38:08Let him go.
00:38:11Reception?
00:38:13Yes, he is.
00:38:14Mr. Ryan's office, sir.
00:38:17Brock.
00:38:19Oh, hello, Helen, my love.
00:38:21How are you?
00:38:22Yeah, we're settling in fine.
00:38:24Fine.
00:38:27Croshaw.
00:38:29But that's all settled.
00:38:30There's no question.
00:38:31There just isn't room for him here.
00:38:34Talk to him?
00:38:36Look, I don't want to see the man.
00:38:39I'm right in the middle of an experiment.
00:38:40Look, is he there?
00:38:46Himself, the old grey widow-maker?
00:38:50No.
00:38:50When will he be back?
00:38:54All right, then.
00:38:55Under duress.
00:38:57Tomorrow.
00:38:59Bye.
00:39:01Hell!
00:39:01Experiment.
00:39:02Experiment.
00:39:12I don't know what you'd call that.
00:39:14The time since she died.
00:39:15Quasi-life.
00:39:16All right, quasi-life.
00:39:18During it, she must have made 8,000 appearances minimum.
00:39:22Sound only?
00:39:23Yes.
00:39:24Envisioned about a tenth as many.
00:39:26Sounds a hell of a lot.
00:39:27Spread over all those years, it isn't.
00:39:29And there's a cyclic factor.
00:39:31Bursts of activity.
00:39:341905 looks a good year.
00:39:35All around there.
00:39:37The time of the letter.
00:39:38Yeah, it could be.
00:39:39What letter?
00:39:40The letter to Father Christmas, except that it wasn't.
00:39:42From Martin Tasker, aged 8.
00:39:45Later to dire recluse.
00:39:47You see that?
00:39:49Concentrated patches of haunting.
00:39:50Shall we scrap that word?
00:39:51What, haunt?
00:39:52Yes.
00:39:53It blows at his mind.
00:39:54Gets in the way.
00:39:55Like all the jokey talk.
00:39:56Saw a ghost eating toast halfway up a lamppost.
00:39:58Oh, shut up!
00:40:04Eddie's right.
00:40:06Let's cut out all the loaded words.
00:40:07Ghost, spook, apparition, phantom.
00:40:10This isn't some little shade that couldn't get into heaven because the pearly gates were shut.
00:40:14It's something else.
00:40:16Something interesting.
00:40:18You don't want her to be alive.
00:40:20Do you think it is?
00:40:24No.
00:40:25Well, then.
00:40:25I might be wrong.
00:40:26Is anybody here religious?
00:40:28I don't mean that.
00:40:29Just respect.
00:40:31For her, I suppose.
00:40:32Old Louisa?
00:40:33She wasn't old.
00:40:34She was 19.
00:40:35You've demolished her.
00:40:39I know you, love.
00:40:40Another way your mind works.
00:40:42You're on the track of something that serves her up as a very dry dish indeed, and you feel funny about it.
00:40:46Come on.
00:40:47Give.
00:40:47Yes, that's right.
00:40:48Come on.
00:40:49Well, it's just the first rough model.
00:40:52I took the sudden coldness as basic.
00:40:55A temperature drop of at least three degrees, or we wouldn't notice it.
00:40:58Fair enough.
00:40:59Taking the volume of air in that room, and varying times from 10 to 90 seconds, what we get is a power flow of between 20 and 200 kilowatts a minute.
00:41:08A heat pump?
00:41:08Oh, a furnace in reverse.
00:41:11Pete, you see what's coming out here?
00:41:13Heat drawn rapidly from the surroundings and concentrated.
00:41:17Ironization?
00:41:18Hot spots forming in the air.
00:41:19Like fireballs.
00:41:20Converting into other forms of energy.
00:41:23Sound waves, light.
00:41:26Be quite a process.
00:41:27Crude energy forming itself into regular, recognizable patterns.
00:41:31I don't know.
00:41:34Eddie.
00:41:35Well, let's make a practical start.
00:41:37Trace these hot spots, see if they exist.
00:41:39Hot spots?
00:41:40Now, we've got heat sensors, and we can do it.
00:41:42Two stages.
00:41:43A broad scan, then home in.
00:41:45Now, there is the crossover stage, but we can improvise there.
00:41:50Come on, then.
00:41:51Lead me to the cash bar.
00:41:56Well, Eddie likes it.
00:42:01Early warning.
00:42:06Any quick temperature change, and this light comes on.
00:42:13Now, four of these should cover the whole...
00:42:16Watch it!
00:42:20Following in Louisa's footsteps, eh?
00:42:23One's enough.
00:42:27No.
00:42:28Oh, I don't buy it either.
00:42:30I've never felt cold in there.
00:42:33Never once.
00:42:34Not a goose pimple.
00:42:36And you're skinny.
00:42:37You're a natural shiverer.
00:42:39Shit.
00:42:39Wrap up warm stew, me mum always says.
00:42:42It's like another bug.
00:42:44Okay, rerun.
00:42:50How's it going?
00:42:51Trying more variables?
00:42:52There are some we've missed.
00:42:54Such as?
00:42:55The strength of people's reactions.
00:42:58To it?
00:42:59Everyone's is different.
00:43:00One hears it loud, another hardly at all.
00:43:03Why?
00:43:04It's what you'd expect.
00:43:05Strength of faculties, like eyesight or hearing.
00:43:08What about Stu?
00:43:09Yeah, I still don't get a thing.
00:43:10Why, he's...
00:43:11He's ghostproof.
00:43:12Like colour blind.
00:43:13Good.
00:43:14I'm running a fresh programme, and I'm putting him in it.
00:43:17What?
00:43:17I'm running Stu as a parameter.
00:43:19Aim at last.
00:43:20What's the idea?
00:43:21He's significant.
00:43:22Oh.
00:43:22Oh, don't mind me.
00:43:24Suppose Stu was your only witness.
00:43:26In that case, would she walk?
00:43:29Do you see what I mean?
00:43:31Would she walk for him?
00:43:33There it is.
00:43:53What's that?
00:43:58Right there.
00:43:59What sort of creepy?
00:44:00Well, you must have seen her.
00:44:02Just you and Jill.
00:44:04No warning.
00:44:04I saw her face this time.
00:44:17She's so frightened.
00:44:33She's running from something.
00:44:34The footsteps.
00:44:36Always running.
00:44:37Probably old Tarska coming to pinch her bum.
00:44:40Three times round the table and the girl is mine.
00:44:42She died.
00:44:45It's really getting to you, isn't it?
00:44:49Jill.
00:44:52To be afraid like that.
00:44:54You afraid of all this?
00:44:57No, I don't think so.
00:44:59What then?
00:45:00It's just the thought of it.
00:45:02Of there being nothing left of you but just enough to repeat the worst moment of your life over and over again.
00:45:07That doesn't happen.
00:45:08But if it did, if she knew.
00:45:09We talked about it.
00:45:09We all agreed.
00:45:10Could there be anything there that knows?
00:45:12Not in my book.
00:45:12Just a dead mechanism.
00:45:14That's all there is left.
00:45:14It's horrible.
00:45:18But it's better than knowing.
00:45:21I couldn't bear it if she knew.
00:45:23There, there.
00:45:23It's all right.
00:45:25It's all right.
00:45:26It's all right.
00:45:27You said it and got it over with.
00:45:38Your moment of superstition.
00:45:40It wasn't.
00:45:42What you need is another drink.
00:45:43Come on.
00:45:43It's all right.
00:46:02Brock oh hello Christine darling yeah I meant to ring you earlier but you know problems
00:46:12oh slightly interesting for once yeah I'll tell you all about it remember oh probably tomorrow
00:46:21kids in bed are they is she I'll give her my biggest kiss then
00:46:29a what a drawing I can't wait yeah look about Chuffy is his hoof all right uh-huh what did the vet say
00:46:59nothing Jill she's about
00:47:28I can tell
00:47:31Mr. Corshaw sir
00:47:58uh Brock oh excuse the hands I've been doing some dye tests
00:48:08in very inadequate conditions you uh you've never been to my place in Slough have you
00:48:18yeah that's hardly more than a shed
00:48:20the interview chair do the test yourself or is that so make it a rule never delegate
00:48:34responsibility no never no no I'm a plain nuts and bolts man what my own hands
00:48:44I am he'd like that who oh Patrick he was a nuts and bolts man himself started with electric
00:48:51irons oh no yes of course you do it's a good ploy I don't like that word gambit then he uh
00:49:01he said we should have a talk we're having it meaningful
00:49:10no
00:49:12hmm not meaningful since we're being fussy about words that's not one he uses oh Brock I need more
00:49:22working space now this place you've got here is enormous but I could just have a look around
00:49:27some corner that you're not using not a chance let me tell you about my project I know the world's
00:49:33first all electronic washing machine domestic domestic the first to sort its own wash and
00:49:39program itself the first to sniff out items with non-fast dyes etc etc etc it'll do all that
00:49:43when it works it'll work when it does that triumph of over sophistication will cost 900 knicker per
00:49:50machine just to make now that is a lie I've seen the costings well who showed them to you guess
00:50:02now I will not beat old nippon with a like of that at all at all he never say that he did he saw the
00:50:10point this place is for fundamental research not for patching duds but he wouldn't have said me
00:50:15got me to tell you yes he would he's got a kind heart I haven't right chat over no wait a minute
00:50:20no more time just listen to me like it the nature of observed reality that's what this program takes
00:50:26in old philosophy stuff it might apply to her does she walk when there's nobody there that's it makes a
00:50:32hell of a difference to the number of times I mean all those years when the house was empty
00:50:35a version with added stewart hey
00:50:43oh no I didn't spot that I should have done it I just didn't spot the connection well let's have
00:50:52it if this means anything oh I'll run it again why oh it's wrong why it must be no no no I like it
00:50:57it's got the makings it's what you really wanted you shaped it that way I didn't you couldn't help
00:51:02it love the old intuition right on that button oh for pity's sake beautifully simple no no I'll
00:51:07start again Peter it's the room what just the room itself nothing else well do you mind telling me
00:51:13there is no ghost all right try this for size the room holds an image and when people go in there
00:51:22they pick it up what you hear or what you see is inside your own brain oh that'd be why the sounds
00:51:28don't echo and why we can't locate them that'd be why they don't record no machine hears them I got
00:51:34them on my head you've got them in your head what about the hot spots forget it Eddie I mean the whole
00:51:39temperature thing there isn't any look I know when I'm cold the body's reaction like allergy and just
00:51:44as quick your whole physiology is affected by what but what's in there but I thought you said don't you
00:51:49get it yet it must act like a recording fixed in the floor and the walls right in the substance of
00:51:57them a trace of what happened in there and we pick it up we act as detectors decoders amplifiers
00:52:03a recording it would have to be in the stone I wonder some kind of natural process yeah freaky
00:52:11yeah perhaps it only occurs under extreme conditions some kind of extreme human output emotion terror and
00:52:16that prints off like the shadow of the people from the big bomb blast and we're sensitive to it now what
00:52:21about me you you've got no playback that's all some transistors missing you're the exception that
00:52:26proves the rule thank God I'm waiting for the penny to drop I mean if if I'm right this could be it
00:52:33the big one a new recording medium it's a boot in the guts of old nippon
00:52:41we're waiting the head of an idea it could be the big one
00:52:53into the human's reign of sound and vision no intervening apparatus at all I read about some
00:53:02research the Japs of course they got nowhere it's gonna be hours all hours television without the
00:53:11TV set no box not even a visor in front of the eyes yeah costume jewelry the 13 channel hearing
00:53:17I saw oh wonderful nippon have had great defeat go now go now to cut off your big belly oh very you
00:53:26can't say belly I can see what I like when it goes wrong with a care man will have to operate on your
00:53:31head hey don't mention that not in the sales brochure let's keep it positive all right coronation
00:53:36street double your money come dancing war and peace pawn channel 1 or channel 2 that's all right
00:53:43channel 10 home doctor do it yourself urban gorillas
00:53:49hang on I'll take it in the old world
00:54:05yeah okay put him through
00:54:15hello Patrick
00:54:18fine yeah fine I'm entering you earlier
00:54:22I told Croshaw the facts of life as I gathered you wanted me to
00:54:27yeah did he now give him time he'll get used to it
00:54:33yeah yeah it's what you always said fundamental research or nothing
00:54:39nothing
00:54:43surely that's all separate
00:54:45Patrick
00:54:48come on
00:54:49Patrick look here
00:54:51look the proof of it is
00:54:54and I'll listen
00:54:56Patrick will you listen to me
00:54:59I think we've got it.
00:55:04The big one.
00:55:08Yes.
00:55:10Yes.
00:55:21Kentish rag.
00:55:22What?
00:55:23It's called Kentish rag, rag stone.
00:55:25It's a kind of green sand.
00:55:26Is it rare?
00:55:27Good grief, Chloe.
00:55:27It's been quarried ever since Roman times.
00:55:30Used all over the south of England.
00:55:31Most of medieval London's built of this stuff.
00:55:34Better and better.
00:55:35Oh.
00:55:36Could explain a lot of ghost stories.
00:55:38I'll see what you mean.
00:55:39Collie, it all keeps clicking together.
00:55:57I saw it again for just a fraction of a second.
00:56:01I seem to be getting words.
00:56:02Yes, I wanted to.
00:56:03It couldn't make a mark.
00:56:09Vibration.
00:56:11You going to go on without Eddie?
00:56:13Where is Eddie?
00:56:14He's going to find some special triodes.
00:56:16Collie, you help out.
00:56:19Do my best.
00:56:20We'll show you how.
00:56:21How long do you do to...
00:56:21As long as it takes.
00:56:23All right.
00:56:24Get your stuff set up.
00:56:28Jill, Stu, should we make a night of it?
00:56:30Okay, Pete.
00:56:31What do you want to do?
00:56:33Get control.
00:56:34Not yet.
00:56:35How could we possibly?
00:56:36The essence of experiment, Jillie.
00:56:39Put it to the proof.
00:56:47Frequency?
00:56:487.40.
00:56:48Right.
00:56:49Give me that.
00:56:50Ten seconds.
00:57:04And another ten.
00:57:06Well?
00:57:20We haven't enough data.
00:57:22We're getting data all the time.
00:57:23I'm building, Stu.
00:57:24Right.
00:57:47Back to the steps.

00:58:29I think you're right. It's a vibration thing.
00:58:39No, it is.
00:58:42But, Peter, it'll take huge programs to analyse it.
00:58:45Of course.
00:58:46I'd like to develop them.
00:58:47Fine.
00:58:48Well, then why this tonight?
00:58:49I've got to know.
00:58:52Peter, I don't think any of us is quite...
00:58:55We've all been under a strain these days here.
00:58:58The more rational we've tried to be...
00:58:59What are you driving at?
00:59:01Well, we're all past it.
00:59:02Not me, love.
00:59:02Yes, you.
00:59:03No, don't say that. Don't do it.
00:59:05I've got a feeling about this.
00:59:06You get this exact grip on a thing, this clarity...
00:59:09What have you promised, Ryan?
00:59:28Nobody?
00:59:38What's the use?
00:59:40Nerves jangled.
00:59:41What do you think?
00:59:42That may be good.
00:59:43Hold on, you re-understands!
00:59:59What do you think?
01:00:15Right, on the next run...
01:00:30Stop it! You don't know what you're doing anymore!
01:00:32I want to pull the trigger just once!
01:00:34Well, what the hell are we into?
01:00:35A tank that only plays quite what it feels like?
01:00:37It's insane!
01:00:38Quick, then!
01:00:39Go back to your little hut!
01:00:41Don't you talk to me like that, Peter!
01:00:42Not to me!
01:00:45What the hell?
01:00:53That's not computer language!
01:00:56It's your code number, you fed it in!
01:00:58I didn't...
01:00:59You must have done!
01:01:01There are words...
01:01:03There might be words...
01:01:04See, pray...
01:01:06So, that's so, there...
01:01:08Pray...
01:01:10Prayer...
01:01:13It's in the computer!
01:01:15No!
01:01:16It is!
01:01:17It is!
01:01:18Bloody fool!
01:01:19You picked up words!
01:01:20You got words yourself, that's how it works!
01:01:22I told you!
01:01:23There it is!
01:01:24Come when I tell you!
01:01:40Come when I tell you!
01:01:41Let's go.
01:02:11It's different.
01:02:25What?
01:02:27She's gone.
01:02:31How do you mean?
01:02:35Completely.
01:02:37I can tell.
01:02:41I'll tell you what he's done!
01:02:43Do you know what he's done?
01:02:45He's wiped the tape!
01:02:51All right.
01:02:53Leave it at that. We might try another run tomorrow.

01:09:38i don't know
01:10:08What's the matter? Come on, what is it? Get her out of this. You didn't hear it.
01:10:24Pete, it wasn't her this time. It was different. It was something else.
01:10:27You'll have to stay out of this room. It's the association.
01:10:29It wasn't her.
01:10:30Keep out of here.
01:10:30Pete, you've got to listen to me.
01:10:32Things went too far. My fault. I know it was.
01:10:34You've got to rest. Unwind. Go home and take it easy.
01:10:38They can't have you cracking up. Now, will you do that for me?
01:10:42Time.
01:10:47He's right, Jill.
01:11:08Good afternoon.
01:11:18When they come, they're not allowed in this room and any circumstances at all. Do you get that?
01:11:22Yes.
01:11:22Right.
01:11:23Mr. Brock, there you are. I've jacked down that exorcism.
01:11:28What?
01:11:29I went to the museum.
01:11:30Oh, not now.
01:11:31And there it was.
01:11:32Collie, cope. Will you please cope?
01:11:34It wasn't easy to discover.
01:11:36It's very kind of you. Very helpful. But just at the moment, I've got business.
01:11:39Well, Brock.
01:11:40This way.
01:11:45That really was a little shock.
01:11:49You said an exorcism.
01:11:51Yes.
01:11:51Well, he knows about it.
01:11:52Oh.
01:11:53We had the documents. 1892.
01:11:55No, no.
01:11:56It was.
01:11:571760.
01:11:591760? The house wasn't built then?
01:12:00Indeed not. There was just some sort of ruin here.
01:12:04Nevertheless, there had been complaints. So, a service was performed. Quite useless, apparently.
01:12:11That's if you accept there'd been anything there in the first place.
01:12:31What about tackling mine, Jill?
01:12:33Give me a chance, Eddie.
01:12:34Hey, what is this?
01:12:36I can't say, don't let Peter see that. We've got work to do.
01:12:38Soon, Eddie.
01:12:40I give up.
01:12:47Well?
01:12:48It's the concept of a tape that's wrong.
01:12:51It's more like a great depth, a core.
01:12:53Or a stone.
01:12:54He erased her.
01:12:55She was only in the surface layer, the most recent.
01:12:57Oh, 1890. Recent?
01:13:00There'd be much older impressions underneath.
01:13:02Much deeper.
01:13:07How far are you trying to go back?
01:13:12A long way.
01:13:13I've got a great deal of paperwork to do.
01:13:19Costing?
01:13:21Peter, have you got him there?
01:13:21This is Joel Greeley, who programs our computer, William Croshaw.
01:13:24Ah, I shall have need of you, young lady.
01:13:26Your little machine.
01:13:27Listen, I've got that crack about Costing.
01:13:30Now, this machine of mine is viable, and I am going to prove it.
01:13:33What do they think they're doing?
01:13:52Colors like that.
01:13:52My wife's old machine, and just spit about naturally.
01:13:57Yeah, those blokes are curious.
01:13:59They're telling me.
01:14:01No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:14:02I mean, one of them said, what was this about a ghost?
01:14:06Now, you be careful.
01:14:07Oh, yeah, don't worry.
01:14:08I was.
01:14:08Dill?
01:14:11Dill?
01:14:12Dill?
01:14:23Dill?
01:14:24Dill?
01:14:24Dill?
01:14:24Dill?
01:14:27Let's keep working on that wound.
01:14:28I'm glad to say.
01:14:30Nobody thinks there's anything wrong.
01:14:31Not now.
01:14:33Dill?
01:14:34There must be a decay.
01:14:40What?
01:14:41What decays, Dill?
01:14:42Whatever's stored in the stone, the recording.
01:14:46Otherwise, it'd be like perpetual motion, an impossibility.
01:14:50It would have to corrode and lose definition.
01:14:54Over a long enough period, it would have to.
01:14:56But then if you boosted it...
01:14:58Collie, I think that's what he's done.
01:14:59Boosted?
01:15:00Some deep-level record.
01:15:07Much older.
01:15:10So old.
01:15:12And shapeless.
01:15:13Dill, there's nothing.
01:15:14I know there is.
01:15:16Remember, I'm on your side.
01:15:19You're not any longer.
01:15:20And sit down and talk.
01:15:24Am I the only one?
01:15:29Collie!
01:15:30Am I?
01:15:36Jill.
01:15:43Full facilities, he said.
01:15:45And full facilities I will have.
01:15:47And I'll accept nothing less.
01:15:48And you can stick that up, you...
01:15:50I'll go and make some coffee, will you?
01:16:00I'll go and make some coffee, will you?
01:16:00Peter, I've got to talk to you.
01:16:13It's what I think it is.
01:16:14Even if it is.
01:16:14You won't give up, will you?
01:16:17You started this whole thing and you're going to keep it going.
01:16:20You're determined.
01:16:21You're getting to enjoy it.
01:16:23Enjoy?
01:16:23Well, not healthy.
01:16:25Yum, yum, enjoy.
01:16:26Some people like to destroy people, Jillian.
01:16:29You're turning into one.
01:16:30If you can't take me from my family, it's got to be destruction.
01:16:33It's not true.
01:16:34That creature who went out here just now, that baboon with the dying hands, he's got his foot on my neck through you.
01:16:41Peter, you were right about the recording.
01:16:42There are more things on it.
01:16:47Oh, no, no.
01:16:48I can prove it.
01:16:48You're a sweetie, you're into fantasies.
01:16:50You've got to listen to me.
01:16:51Unless we're careful, you could get very, very sick.
01:16:55You're going on leave for a month.
01:16:57No.
01:16:57No, make it two months, starting now.
01:16:59I can't.
01:17:00Stu can take over.
01:17:00He knows the computer and he's level-headed.
01:17:02He's up to it.
01:17:03Peter!
01:17:03Peter!
01:17:12I'm going to rest now.
01:17:39What are you doing?
01:17:40I think someone else didn't know about this.
01:17:45Who?
01:17:46Louisa!
01:17:47Louisa!
01:18:10What the hell is?
01:18:32What the hell is?
01:18:32What the hell is?
01:19:36Just go.
01:19:37Well, what else?
01:19:38If you feel strongly about it, go with her.
01:19:40Take Jill.
