00:00:00What's the time mistable?
00:00:03What's the time mistable?
00:00:05What's the time mistable?
00:00:06Who are you?
00:00:07What's the time mistable?
00:00:08Can you say what you are?
00:00:10What's the time Mr. Wool?
00:00:11See me to me.
00:00:13What's the time Mr. Wool?
00:00:15Perhaps I'll lose you at night.
00:00:17What's the time Mr. Wool?
00:00:18To me you're not a thunder.
00:00:21What's the time Mr. Wool?
00:00:23You're a Moondail.
00:00:26Moondail, Moondail, Moondail, Moondail, Moondail, Moondail, Moondail, Moondail!
00:00:38Where's the devil's daughter?
00:00:40She's got the devil's mark.
00:00:43Look, she's trying to hide it.
00:00:45Oh no, please. I have it.
00:00:46Devil's truck. Devil's truck. Devil's truck.
00:00:50Devil's truck. Devil's truck.
00:00:52Devil's truck. Devil's truck.
00:00:54Devil's truck. Devil's truck.
00:00:54Devil's truck. Devil's truck.
00:00:56Get out of here!
00:00:57Go on!
00:01:08Sarah!
00:01:10Sarah!
00:01:11Sarah, what was that commotion?
00:01:13Sarah, can you hear me?
00:01:22Wicked child! What have I told you?
00:01:28No, please don't. Please!
00:01:30Devil's child. That's what you are.
00:01:33Devil's child. Back where you belong.
00:01:35No, stop.
00:01:37Stop!
00:01:39Stop!
00:01:41And why do they call her that?
00:01:44Devil's child.
00:01:49It's like a nightmare.
00:01:53I hope you're not having nightmares.
00:01:56I'll set her free.
00:01:58I absolutely swear I will.
00:02:00Her and you.
00:02:04Are you listening?
00:02:06I'm gonna go straight back there now.
00:02:10I might not find her.
00:02:14I don't even know how the Moondar works.
00:02:17Well, not for sure anyway.
00:02:19But at least I can try.
00:02:47But at least I can try.
00:02:49No, I'm gonna go.
00:03:02I don't have to be away.
00:03:04I don't even know how the Moondar works.
00:03:07No, I'm sorry.
00:03:09I'm sorry.
00:03:10You're not sure I won.
00:03:12I don't want to be away.
00:03:15I can't come back there.
00:03:17No, I can't go.
00:03:22That's it. That's gone off. Now the cloaks. Get the cloaks, Sam!
00:03:32Pull it off. Right over, like she does.
00:03:39Devil's jump. Devil's jump. Devil's jump.
00:03:43Devil's jump. Devil's jump. Devil's jump.
00:03:45Devil's jump. Devil's jump.
00:03:47Devil's jump.
00:03:55Devil's jump.
00:03:57Hey!
00:03:57Candy!
00:04:04Fight!
00:04:16Go!
00:04:17Death, Death, Death, Death, Death!
00:04:22Yes!
00:04:28Devils Trung...
00:04:30Devils Trung...
00:04:36Devils Trung...
00:04:40Here you pick something.
00:04:43I already got it here.
00:04:44Let it go out.
00:04:52Let it go out.
00:04:58Let it go out.
00:05:33Hey, how do you do it?
00:05:38Oh, yeah, I know that.
00:05:40But time's after and nothing's happened.
00:05:44I know.
00:05:46But I think it's him.
00:05:48What, the little'un?
00:05:52But why?
00:05:54Who's the size of him to that big fella?
00:05:57Bet he could be a footman if he stood up straight.
00:06:01Bet he's seven foot.
00:06:07It was the boy. Thanks, Charlie.
00:06:09Charlie? What do you call him that for?
00:06:12Dunno.
00:06:14Past name, that is.
00:06:16Or was.
00:06:19This your time?
00:06:22Yes.
00:06:24I think I'll stay then.
00:06:26In fact, if I could fetch Dorie, I would for sure.
00:06:33There's a funny thing.
00:06:35Those voices.
00:06:37Just now.
00:06:39When they came through.
00:06:42Just the one I heard her.
00:06:45Call her my name she was.
00:06:49What?
00:06:49If it was her, she'd be hiding, sure enough.
00:06:53Little monkey.
00:06:55Dorie!
00:06:57Dorie!
00:06:58Come on, let's find them.
00:07:02Wait!
00:07:07Dorie!
00:07:09Dorie!
00:07:12Dorie!
00:07:18Dorie!
00:07:23Dorie!
00:07:24Dorie!
00:07:28Dorie!
00:07:38Dorie!
00:07:39Dorie!
00:07:40Dorie!
00:07:42Dorie!
00:07:42Dorie!
00:07:43Dorie!
00:08:30Tom, come out this minute.
00:08:48Morning.
00:08:50World?
00:08:51Do you mind if I call you World?
00:08:53It doesn't sound right, Mr. World.
00:08:54Oh, you call me that.
00:08:56It's who I am, old World.
00:08:58They all call me that.
00:09:01World, I wanted to ask you if you know anything about the...
00:09:07The sundial.
00:09:09The one on the U path.
00:09:10I can't say I do.
00:09:13Interested in it, are you?
00:09:16I wanted to know about the two figures.
00:09:19The man and the boy.
00:09:20I'll tell you what I have got.
00:09:22A book on sundials.
00:09:24I've had it since I were a lad.
00:09:27I'll fetch it.
00:09:28Great, thank you.
00:09:50There.
00:09:51You learn a lot from that.
00:09:52I did the queerest things.
00:09:55Stuck in my mind all these years.
00:09:58What sort of things?
00:10:00Well, for instance, clock time is mean time.
00:10:04But sundial time is what they call apparent time.
00:10:08But the only real time, exact time, is star time.
00:10:15Star time?
00:10:19Do you mean moon time?
00:10:21Moon time?
00:10:22Oh, I ain't heard of that one.
00:10:24But the moon and the stars, they come out together.
00:10:29I don't know.
00:10:30I don't know.
00:10:32Oh, but I do.
00:10:36The only real time.
00:10:38Well, that's what it says.
00:10:40You read it.
00:10:41Oh, I will.
00:10:43Thank you, world.
00:10:47And about that sundial, I'll ask one or two folk.
00:10:50Find out for you.
00:10:52Will you?
00:10:52Thank you, world.
00:10:57Those children.
00:10:59They're in trouble.
00:11:01I know.
00:11:02It's as if they're coming nearer and crying.
00:11:06Breaks my heart here.
00:11:09I know.
00:11:11But not for much longer, I promise.
00:11:13Ah, that's good.
00:11:15You're a good'un.
00:11:17Knew you were the moment I set eyes on you.
00:11:21And you.
00:11:21You're a good'un.
00:11:24What about that mother of yours?
00:11:27She's getting better.
00:11:30Invisibly.
00:11:30Ah, that's the way.
00:11:32Good.
00:11:33I am glad.
00:11:36I don't know if he's still there.
00:11:42Or if he's gone back to his own time.
00:11:46Oh, he was freezing.
00:11:49Mum, you should have heard him cough.
00:11:54He's so lonely.
00:11:57And they're so cruel.
00:12:00Horrible Mags and Mrs Crump.
00:12:04His little sister, Dory.
00:12:07She's ill now.
00:12:09And coughing just like him.
00:12:12Mum.
00:12:15Mum, I've been thinking.
00:12:19Moon time.
00:12:22That's where I think you are now.
00:12:25Somewhere I wear in moon time.
00:12:28Tom.
00:12:29Sarah.
00:12:31And you, Mum.
00:12:34In moon time.
00:12:36And only me to set you free.
00:12:43What happens to time when the moon shines on a sundial?
00:12:51That's all for now.
00:12:54I'll come and see you tomorrow.
00:12:56I want to see you open your eyes.
00:12:59Are you listening?
00:13:00Bye.
00:13:01Bye.
00:13:02Lots of love.
00:13:10You'll make sure no one listens to it, won't you?
00:13:12Don't worry. I will.
00:13:14She is going to get better, isn't she?
00:13:15You're not just saying it.
00:13:16Don't worry.
00:13:17She's coming back to us. Slowly.
00:13:19And this will probably start showing on the screens the minute she hears it.
00:13:23Oh, will it?
00:13:25If it does, you'll ring me and tell me, won't you?
00:13:27Of course. Promise.
00:13:31Are you lonely?
00:13:32No. I just miss Mum.
00:13:34Not for much longer.
00:14:01Oh, my God.
00:14:02I'm not grateful if you love you.
00:14:03What about you?
00:14:04No.
00:14:05No, no.
00:14:06You see all the roses?
00:14:08Yes.
00:14:09Here you are, Minty.
00:14:14Come and meet our guest.
00:14:16Miss Raven's here to investigate Belton, as I told you, Minty.
00:14:20Looking for ghosts.
00:14:21Hello.
00:14:22No, I don't know what you'll find, I'm sure.
00:14:24Oh, if there's anything to find, I shall find it.
00:14:27I have a nose for ghosts.
00:14:29Oh, well, of course.
00:14:30If it's your job.
00:14:32And what about you, Araminta?
00:14:34Perhaps you've seen something.
00:14:36Well, she's not been here five minutes.
00:14:40Children have to be watched.
00:14:42I often think of them as spies.
00:14:46And she's hardly been in the house.
00:14:48Runs around the gardeners all day, don't you, Minty?
00:14:51Ah, the gardens.
00:14:54Then later, Araminta, you can show me the gardens.
00:15:14Oh, look.
00:15:15The orangery.
00:15:17Should we go there?
00:15:21Along the terrace, I think.
00:15:23Oh, no.
00:15:35You seem a very silent child.
00:16:05Don't.
00:16:06Don't.
00:16:27Don't let her notice.
00:16:30Don't let her notice.
00:16:33Don't let her notice.
00:16:34Not the moon dial.
00:16:47Do you feel anything?
00:16:49Feel?
00:16:51I feel a bit hot.
00:16:52I think you know what I mean.
00:16:55I have special kinds of powers, and those powers are telling me that there is some kind of presence here.
00:17:01Where?
00:17:02I can't see anything.
00:17:03I didn't say see.
00:17:08Ah.
00:17:10It's a sundial.
00:17:11Oh, is it?
00:17:12I hadn't noticed.
00:17:15I wonder what the two figures represent.
00:17:25Ah, the church.
00:17:28I must see that.
00:17:46Oh, look.
00:17:51What a beauty.
00:17:54Puss, puss, puss.
00:18:08Witches have cats.
00:18:11And now I think the moon dial will take me whenever I ask it.
00:18:16I want us three to meet.
00:18:18Me, Tom, and Sarah.
00:18:21I feel we're all part of a pattern.
00:18:24A story.
00:18:26And you are too, Mum.
00:18:28Even though you're not here.
00:18:31So I'm going to get up really early tomorrow at dawn.
00:18:35I've set my alarm for six.
00:18:37The garden will probably be as empty then as it is at night.
00:18:41Ah!
00:18:43Talking to yourself.
00:18:45Supper time, Araminta.
00:19:06I'll be laughing.
00:19:06I know, you're not there.
00:19:07I know.
00:19:07I know what's happening.
00:19:08Well, of course.
00:19:09I know.
00:19:10No place to go.
00:19:16I know.
00:19:24Hello again.
00:19:26It's Araminta Cain.
00:19:29I know you can't tell me my name.
00:19:32But I know you've got one.
00:19:36And now,
00:19:38you know what I want.
00:19:41Don't you?
00:19:46You know what I want.
00:20:17You know what I want.
00:20:43Tom's time must be.
00:20:46Psst!
00:20:47Minnie!
00:21:07I know you've got one.
00:21:10I know you've got one.
00:21:11I know you've got one.
00:21:17Sarah never comes out at night.
00:21:20Well, we ain't both dreaming.
00:21:22At last.
00:21:24We'll see her.
00:21:26Come on.
00:21:42Go on.
00:21:47They made a, they made a, they made a.
00:21:52We do it.
00:21:54They made on the bright sun.
00:21:57It's dark.
00:21:58We stand.
00:22:00You up and choose one.
00:22:01And choose one.
00:22:03And choose one.
00:22:04We stand.
00:22:05You up and choose one.
00:22:08On the bright sun.
00:22:09It's dark.
00:22:12Daisy.
00:22:13Daisy.
00:22:17That's what exists in a book.
00:22:21Close at night.
00:22:23And opening in the day.
00:22:28You and me are opposites, Daisy.
00:22:31I curl up in the day.
00:22:32And come out at night.
00:22:37You're my midsummer wish, Daisy.
00:22:40To see you open in the sun.
00:22:52Dare I.
00:22:54My dent.
00:22:57I must never look.
00:22:58Never.
00:23:00But what if I shut my eyes.
00:23:03And then wash my face in the water.
00:23:07What if it was a kind of spell for a midsummer's day.
00:23:29Let the sun dry.
00:23:30Oh, please.
00:23:32Let it work.
00:23:33Please.
00:23:35Joey.
00:23:36No, wait.
00:23:39Feels the same.
00:23:40Oh.
00:23:41But what if it isn't?
00:23:44How can I tell?
00:23:46I daren't look down.
00:23:47I daren't.
00:23:48Sarah!
00:23:57Sarah!
00:23:58Stop!
00:23:59Please stop!
00:24:02No!
00:24:05No!
00:24:11If we don't get after her, we've lost her.
00:24:13Oh, but she thinks we're like those others.
00:24:15She thinks we're after her.
00:24:17Well, we are, aren't we?
00:24:19Really?
00:24:19I mean really, after her.
00:24:22Oh, Tom.
00:24:23Did he see her?
00:24:24Oh, devil.
00:24:25Don't say that.
00:24:27Oh, devil.
00:24:31Great.
00:24:31She can't see us now.
00:24:54Let's go.
00:25:00Oh, ew, I'll let her in here.
00:25:10She gets me alive to catch me, Nia.
00:25:12Don't worry.
00:25:13It's a hard time, remember.
00:25:15We're invisible, come on.
00:25:39Saints, preserve me!
00:25:49We are able to do work.
00:25:57Who are you?
00:25:59We want to help you.
00:26:02We're your friends.
00:26:04I haven't got any.
00:26:06I ain't got any neither, except in her.
00:26:10Got a sister though.
00:26:12Ain't she is.
00:26:14Look who you are.
00:26:18Aren't you afraid of me?
00:26:21Of course not.
00:26:23The others are.
00:26:25They call me devil's child.
00:26:27I know what they call you.
00:26:28But you're not.
00:26:30I've got the devil's mark.
00:26:32Sarah?
00:26:34It's her.
00:26:36Hear me, school.
00:26:37I'm coming.
00:26:38Oh, devil!
00:26:40How dare you!
00:26:41What have I told you?
00:26:46You little devil!
00:26:48You little devil!
00:26:50You little devil!
00:26:56Let go!
00:26:57Let go!
00:26:59Let go!
00:26:59Go!
00:27:11We're going in!
00:27:12No!
00:27:14We're invisible, Tom!
00:27:15We must!
00:27:16No!
00:27:18What if it was Dorian there?
00:27:23I don't suppose, Sarah, you ever consider what my old life is like?
00:27:28Shut up in here, week in, week out, with a monstrosity.
00:27:33They don't pay me very much, you know.
00:27:35I shall never get rich waiting after you.
00:27:38And no one speaks to me unless they have to.
00:27:40And you know why, Sarah?
00:27:42Because they think something evil must rub off on me, being with you, day in, day out.
00:27:48Perhaps it does.
00:27:51Maybe they're right.
00:27:54I sometimes wonder whether I exist at all.
00:27:58I sometimes wonder whether I shall go mad.
00:28:02Shut in here.
00:28:05Why do you never look at me?
00:28:06You look at me!
00:28:18There.
00:28:22Don't turn round.
00:28:23Wear the glass.
00:28:26I am still here.
00:28:29At least the mirror tells me that.
00:28:32Auguste Vaux.

00:28:37Penniless.
00:28:38Spinster.
00:28:40A servant.
00:28:44Oh.
00:28:47But I am a beautiful woman.
00:28:51Such beautiful.
00:28:54Smooth, white skin.
00:28:58Do you not find me beautiful, Sarah?
00:29:03Do you?
00:29:06Tell me, do you?
00:29:08Oh, yes.
00:29:09Yes.
00:29:10And beautiful faces need mirrors, Sarah.
00:29:13So today I shall spend with my own reflection.
00:29:18Better bury your head, dear.
00:29:21The mirrors are coming out to play.
00:29:37There.
00:29:40What a difference it makes to the room.
00:29:42I feel better already.
00:29:46I wish that you could see it.
00:29:57But you can't, of course.
00:29:59Poor Sarah.
00:30:01If ever you look in a mirror, we know what would happen, don't we?
00:30:05What would happen, Sarah?
00:30:08What would happen first?
00:30:11The glass would crack.
00:30:13I don't hear you.
00:30:14Louder, please.
00:30:15Again.
00:30:17What would happen first?
00:30:21The glass would crack.
00:30:22That's better.
00:30:24Yes.
00:30:25The glass would crack.
00:30:29And then Sarah.
00:30:32Then.
00:30:33Oh, no.
00:30:35Please.
00:30:35The devil.
00:30:36The devil will get you.
00:30:43Who is it?
00:30:45Who's there?
00:30:46Yeah.
00:31:22Why did you run out with her?
00:31:24We could have helped her.
00:31:28Then you heard what she said.
00:31:30The devil.
00:31:31Oh, don't be so stupid.
00:31:33Sure you don't.
00:31:35Oh, no.
00:31:40That does it.
00:31:42I'm finished.
00:31:43With her and you.
00:31:44I ain't playing these devil's games no more.
00:31:47I want a six foot tall and a footman.
00:31:49And I'm going to fetch our door at you.
00:31:56Tom.
00:31:58Come back.
00:32:01Tom.
00:32:08I'll be back.
00:32:10I promise.
00:32:41He doesn't even see me.
00:32:44I'm a daylight ghost.
00:33:00I'm a daylight ghost.
00:33:07He's gone.
00:33:09He's gone.
00:33:11Perhaps forever.
00:33:14Frightened of the devil.
00:33:19But I'm not.
00:33:31I don't know.
00:33:57Your eyes remind me of hers.
00:34:00Evil and hateful.
00:34:12Better bury your head, dear.
00:34:14The limits are coming out of today.
00:34:18Of course.
00:34:20The way you're going to do it.
00:34:22We know what will happen, don't we?
00:34:26The devil will perish.
00:34:28The devil will perish.
00:34:30The devil will perish.
00:34:32The devil.
00:34:33The devil.
00:34:35The devil.
00:34:37The devil.
00:34:48Oh, my God.
00:35:26So, there you are.
00:35:28I'm sorry I'm late.
00:35:30I lost all track of time.
00:35:32I'm not talking about being late, Minty.
00:35:34I don't expect to come down in the morning and find my front door unlocked.
00:35:38You can't imagine what a shock it was.
00:35:40Oh, I'm sorry.
00:35:42I'll look it next time, I promise.
00:35:44Oh, no, no.
00:35:45Your aunt will put the key somewhere else.
00:35:47Somewhere safe.
00:35:50I may have to go out myself at night in the course of my work.
00:35:53But that is quite a different matter.
00:35:56Oh, quite a different matter, Miss Raven.
00:36:02Does she know?
00:36:04Could she?
00:36:07Well, it's her that told Aunt Mary to hide the key so as I can't get out.
00:36:13She's trying to make me a prisoner of the day,
00:36:15like Sarah's a prisoner of the night.
00:36:19And Tom.
00:36:22I don't know if I'll ever see him again.
00:36:26Oh, Mum.
00:36:29If you could have seen him.
00:36:32Poor Tom.
00:36:37I don't know how to make him come back.
00:36:39I don't know how.
00:36:45I'll keep on looking for you, Mum.
00:36:48I will.
00:36:50I must.
00:36:52I must.
00:37:15She's got a lovely face.
00:37:24She thinks she's some kind of monster.
00:37:52Basins.
00:37:53No taps.
00:38:26For the night cometh,
00:38:28cutting off all power of passing time,
00:38:32Luxe umbra viscism,
00:38:35set semper amour.
00:38:39Light and shadows by turns.
00:38:43But always love.
00:38:46I like that.
00:38:49Mum would too.
00:38:53That sounds an interesting book, Araminta.
00:38:56Might I borrow it?
00:38:59Give it to me.
00:39:05I'll hurry home.
00:39:13There's someone waiting to take you to the hospital.
00:39:27Nothing's changed.
00:39:30Nothing.
00:39:31I don't even know if she's listening.
00:39:39Listen to me, Mum.
00:39:43Something's going to happen.
00:39:45I'm going to make it happen.
00:39:49You must listen to me.
00:39:58I'm going to make it happen.
00:40:00Minty!
00:40:01Minty!
00:40:02Minty!
00:40:02Minty!
00:40:08Torn?
00:40:15What is it?
00:40:18Tell me, please.
00:40:20Laurie.
00:40:21Oh, no, what?
00:40:23She's spitting.
00:40:25Oh, Tom.
00:40:32I don't know.
00:40:37Ain't no use plubbing.
00:40:39Oh, it's the water.
00:40:42Our Dory don't cry.
00:40:44What she does, screeches.
00:40:48Gosh.
00:40:49If you could hear her.
00:40:50You're understanding if the wind's blowing the right way.
00:40:56It's what I feel like doing.
00:40:59Screeching.
00:41:03Didn't run because I was freaked, you know.
00:41:05Don't you think it?
00:41:07I know.
00:41:08Might never freak.
00:41:09Not a nothing.
00:41:10I know.
00:41:14We've got to get her out.
00:41:15Sarah.
00:41:17Ain't we?
00:41:18We've got to get her out.
00:41:20We've got to get you out.
00:41:23Something to do with the moon doll, I reckon.
00:41:25Yes.
00:41:28Into moon time.
00:41:30Moon time?
00:41:32No mags.
00:41:34No mark rump.
00:41:36No beatings.
00:41:38You mean, never to go back.
00:41:40Never to go back.
00:41:41Never to go back.
00:41:45Here.
00:41:45What are you staring at?
00:41:47Sorry.
00:41:48Just making sure you're real.
00:41:50Don't start that again.
00:41:52You ain't half rum.
00:41:54Rum is girl I know.
00:41:56Except our Dory, of course.
00:41:58Good.
00:41:58They're both real.
00:42:00And Sarah.
00:42:03I'm teasing at flying.
00:42:04The moon's made of green cheese.
00:42:05And I'll be six for higher on my name ain't Teddy Larkin.
00:42:09What?
00:42:10What did you say?
00:42:13What?
00:42:13What did you say your name was?
00:42:15Teddy Larkin, of course.
00:42:17But you said it was Tom.
00:42:19Tom shot Fred Wood, you said.
00:42:21That's right.
00:42:23Same as yours is Minty shot for Penelope.
00:42:26That was a joke.
00:42:31Look.
00:42:33I'm Teddy Larkin, see?
00:42:35But Kicking Boy is here.
00:42:36He's called Tom.
00:42:37See?
00:42:39What do you mean all Kitchen Boys?
00:42:41That's right.
00:42:42Gotta be.
00:42:44Someone yells Tom, and that means Kitchen Boys.
00:42:47And we all come running.
00:42:48See?
00:42:51But that's terrible.
00:42:54Don't you mind?
00:42:56It gets used to it.
00:42:57Three of us here.
00:42:58All Toms.
00:42:59All what's your name.
00:43:00Get called that and all.
00:43:01What's your name?
00:43:05I think I'm going to go on having to call you Tom.
00:43:10That's what you are to me now.
00:43:13Do you mind?
00:43:14Of course not.
00:43:15Why should I?
00:43:18But to me, you're a proper Tom.
00:43:20Not just a kitchen one.
00:43:29Tom.
00:43:35Tonight, we'll meet Brother Moondale.
00:43:38Will you do it?
00:43:40Try.
00:43:41Try.
00:43:41That always works.
00:43:42I do it.
00:43:43But it's working better all the time.
00:43:46It's as if...
00:43:47If you really need it to, it will.
00:43:54Well, not just now.
00:43:57I came looking for you.
00:44:01Tell you about Dory.
00:44:03You needed me.
00:44:05That guy I needed you the first time we met.
00:44:07And Sarah.
00:44:08Need us both.
00:44:10Midnight, then.
00:44:12On the stroke, by the Moondale.
00:44:14Well, near enough, ain't ya?
00:44:17Haven't you got any clocks?
00:44:18Clocks, all right.
00:44:20Great ticking things.
00:44:21Bing, bang, bong, morning, noon and night.
00:44:24You can't tell the time.
00:44:25No one is time to get up.
00:44:27Barely tells me when it's time for dinner.
00:44:29Don't need no clocks.
00:44:34See this?
00:44:35A little arm clock.
00:44:37That's right.
00:44:39Now, you see these two little fingers?
00:44:40One of them's bigger.
00:44:42That's right.
00:44:43When the big one's down here,
00:44:45the bottom.
00:44:46Oh, I'll tell you what you put it on.
00:44:47Me?
00:44:49Oh, hold your wrist down.
00:44:50I'll put it on.
00:44:52An arm clock.
00:44:54I've got an arm clock.
00:44:57Yeah.
00:44:58I'll show you what to do.
00:45:02Now,
00:45:04when the big one's here,
00:45:05at the bottom,
00:45:06and the little one's here,
00:45:07nearly at the top,
00:45:09then it's time to set out.
00:45:11There and there.
00:45:13That's right.
00:45:15Best put it in my pocket.
00:45:17From my crumpties, it.
00:45:18She'll have it off me.
00:45:19I mean, backside black and blue.
00:45:23Don't have it on work day, do we?
00:45:25I've both been there at the same time.
00:45:28Not for sure.
00:45:29No, we don't.
00:45:38Don't worry about him.
00:45:40He's our friend.
00:45:41Mine and yours.
00:45:47Oh, it's you, is it?
00:45:50I'm just paying my respects.
00:45:56It looks as if you've seen a ghost.
00:46:00I've got something for you.
00:46:01Got them names for you.
00:46:03The Sundial.
00:46:04A bit out of the common they are.
00:46:07Kronos and Eros.
00:46:10Greek they are.
00:46:11Oh, thank you, world.
00:46:13Them's their proper names.
00:46:14But they've got meanings in English.
00:46:18Kronos, that's time.
00:46:19And Eros, that's love.
00:46:23Of course.
00:46:24Cupid, love.
00:46:25Of course.
00:46:32I feel as if I know him.
00:46:34Do I?
00:46:35I told you.
00:46:37He's our friend.
00:46:43Puss, puss, puss, puss, puss.
00:46:45Horrible object.
00:46:49Oh, you shouldn't have.
00:46:53I shall take the key with me.
00:46:55That'll be the safest thing.
00:46:57Oh, there you are, Minty.
00:46:59Miss Raven's going on a ghost hunt tonight.
00:47:02I shall wear my special ghost hunting outfit.
00:47:08I shall fetch it for you to see.
00:47:16She really is rather strange.
00:47:21Can she really see ghosts, you think?
00:47:24I shouldn't be surprised.
00:47:26I think she's a witch.
00:47:28Oh, Minty.
00:47:33There.
00:47:37Well?
00:47:38Oh, very nice.
00:47:42It has a hood, too.
00:47:46There.
00:47:47It's a perfect disguise.
00:47:50Shouldn't it be white?
00:47:52White?
00:47:53Whatever do you mean?
00:47:55For a ghost.
00:47:57Aren't they usually dressed in white?
00:48:01I'm not trying to be a ghost.
00:48:03Silly child.
00:48:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:48:06I thought you were.
00:48:09Think.
00:48:10I am anonymous.
00:48:12I could come from any age in this costume.
00:48:15Ghosts are sensitive, you see, and very easily frightened.
00:48:18If one did see me, it would simply assume that I was from his own time.
00:48:23Now do you understand?
00:48:25What a sensible idea, Miss Raven.
00:48:28The steward at the house has been frightfully helpful.
00:48:31I can go anywhere in the house that I please.
00:48:33Make sure you don't look in a mirror.
00:48:35What?
00:48:37What did you say?
00:48:39Oh, it's just something I heard.
00:48:41That if you see a ghost in the mirror,
00:48:44then
00:48:47the devil gets you.
00:48:49Minty.
00:48:52I never heard of such a thing.
00:48:59Minty.
00:49:00Whatever made you say such a thing?
00:49:02Oh, I don't know.
00:49:04I'm sorry.
00:49:05Upsetting her like that.
00:49:07She did seem rather upset.
00:49:10I wonder why.
00:49:12Oh, I shall be glad when she's gone.
00:49:18So shall I.
00:49:21When will she go, anyway?
00:49:23Oh, at any time.
00:49:25She said she never stayed anywhere long.
00:49:27She said...
00:49:28No, what was it?
00:49:30Oh, yes.
00:49:31She came and went when the spirit moved her.
00:49:38It's going to be tonight, Mum.
00:49:42I'm not sure what's going to happen.
00:49:46But something...
00:49:48I can feel it in my bones.
00:49:53And, Mum...
00:49:55I think I'm going to go somewhere very dangerous tonight.
00:50:08I'm not sure I'll ever come back.
00:50:14Never to grow up.
00:50:17Stay a child forever.
00:50:22Oh, strange.
00:50:32A talisman.
00:50:37That's what I need.
00:50:39A charm.
00:50:42Something to protect us.
00:50:44Keep us safe.
00:50:49But what?
00:50:57That's it.
00:50:59That's it.
00:51:02That's it.
00:51:20Have you seen the raven?
00:51:22Miss Raven, I mean.
00:51:24She just popped over to the house.
00:51:26Said she wanted to hang something in to lost property.
00:51:29A watch, she said.
00:51:30Found it in the graveyard.
00:51:32Oh, poor Tom.
00:51:35Why, what is it, dear?
00:51:38Nothing.
00:51:39Nothing.
00:51:40Nothing.
00:52:08Nothing.
00:52:26A talisman.
00:52:59Where is she?
00:53:02I've got to be there by midnight.
00:53:55I've got to be there by midnight.
00:54:26I've got to be there by midnight.
00:54:32I've got to be there by midnight.
00:54:33Minty!
00:54:39You're king!
00:54:41What about the watch?
00:54:42I lost it, didn't I?
00:54:43I know.
00:54:45And I thought, I'm daft.
00:54:47It's easy.
00:54:49Fingers in line on arm clock.
00:54:51Fingers in line on ass clock.
00:54:53Now what?
00:54:54I don't know.
00:54:58That?
00:55:00Yes.
00:55:11Yes.
00:55:11It's the little thing you said.
00:55:13Yes.
00:55:14I know who he is now.
00:55:16Bit of sissy all them curls.
00:55:18Never made a footman.
00:55:19But it's him that'll help us.
00:55:23For the last time.
00:55:26Now you.
00:55:31light and shadows by turns.
00:55:34But always love.
00:55:35You're the young man.
00:55:38You're dead.
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:49Yeah.
00:55:51Yeah.
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:55Yeah.
00:55:56I don't know.
00:56:29It's cold.
00:56:32Look.
00:56:38Sarah.
00:56:57Oh dear, it's a-weeping on a bright summer's day.
00:57:04Pray tell me what you're weeping.
00:57:08Oh, weeping, oh, weeping.
00:57:11Tell me what you're weeping.
00:57:14On a bright summer's day, I'm weeping for a playmate, a playmate, a playmate.
00:57:25I'm weeping for a playmate on a bright summer's day.
00:57:32I'll try one more time.
00:57:36Magic night of all the year.
00:57:39Halloween.
00:57:41Halloween?
00:57:43Oh, save us.
00:57:50Oh, save us.
00:58:24Devil's coming.
00:58:26Devil's coming.
00:58:28Devil's coming.
00:58:35Devil's coming.
00:58:36Devil's coming.
00:58:37devil's coming, devil's coming, devil's coming, devil's coming.
00:58:59Sarah, we're here!
00:59:19I am the ghost of Araminta Cain.
00:59:23Do as I say.
00:59:25Then you will not be harmed.
00:59:27I'm afraid I'm harmed.
00:59:29She ain't a ghost.
00:59:30Who's that other one?
00:59:31Get him.
00:59:32Yeah, let's get him.
00:59:36Soon.
00:59:37The clock will strike midnight.
00:59:42Midnight on Halloween.
00:59:47Do as I say.
00:59:50Go back to the pool and drop your lanterns in the water.
00:59:57And as the clock begins to strike, shut your eyes.
01:00:04If you open them again before the last stroke,
01:00:10then the devil will get you.
01:00:16Quick, before it's too late.
01:00:25Quick.
01:00:29Quick.
01:00:31Quick.
01:00:44Quick, now.
01:01:07Quick, now.
01:01:09Quick, now.
01:01:10Quick, now.
01:01:11Get down.
01:01:13Quick, now.
01:01:17Quick, now.
01:01:31Watch out.
01:01:40Let's go.
01:02:17Come on, Sarah.
01:02:18They've gone.
01:02:42Sarah.
01:02:45Sarah, you could put your hood down now.
01:02:48Safe services.
01:02:50Honest.
01:02:51I...
01:02:52I'm dead.
01:02:54Don't want to harm you.
01:02:56You're my friend.
01:02:59Yes.
01:03:03Please, Sarah.
01:03:05Please.
01:03:23Sarah, open your eyes.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26Sarah.
01:03:28Come all this long way I have to fit you.
01:03:32Come with me, will you?
01:03:34You belong with us.
01:03:36Sarah.
01:03:37You must trust us.
01:03:39Please.
01:03:44Look.
01:03:45I'm holding up a mirror.
01:03:47I want you to look into it.
01:03:50Don't be afraid.
01:03:56That's me.
01:03:57That's you, Sarah.
01:04:00I'm beautiful.
01:04:02Oh, you are.
01:04:04You are.
01:04:06And the mirror.
01:04:08It didn't crack.
01:04:09Course it didn't.
01:04:10Sarah!
01:04:11Sarah!
01:04:12Oh.
01:04:13No.
01:04:14Not this time.
01:04:15I must go.
01:04:16No.
01:04:17Come along with me, Sarah.
01:04:18Come along with me, won't you?
01:04:19You're the innocent devil's child that you are.
01:04:23Hold her.
01:04:27Beware the devil.
01:04:30Beware the evil eye.
01:04:58Teddy!
01:04:59Teddy!
01:05:00Teddy!
01:05:04Sorry!
01:05:06It's our diary!
01:05:06Teddy!
01:05:44It's done.
01:05:48They're free at last.
01:06:29You're welcome.
01:06:36He doesn't care to be in the morning.
01:06:49Hello, Mindy.
01:06:50Hi.
01:06:54In you go, then.
01:06:55She's up at the far end.
01:07:13Now, don't expect miracles all at once, will you?
01:07:23Say hello to her.
01:07:25I'll be back in a minute.
01:07:26Thanks.
01:07:49Mum, it's Mindy.
01:07:57Have you been listening to my story?
01:08:01About Tom and Sarah and the moondial.
01:08:07It's all over now.
01:08:10Finished.
01:08:12They've gone.
01:08:29Mindy.
01:08:39Mindy.
01:08:53Mindy.
01:08:54Mrs. Taxi to the station.
01:08:56Did she have a big ginger cat on her shoulder?
01:08:59Oh.
01:09:00Really?
01:09:01I mean, to the things you say.
01:09:04I must say, you look quite different this morning.
01:09:07You look quite washed clean.
01:09:11That's what my mother used to say.
01:09:14I expect to see good news about your mother.
01:09:17Oh.
01:09:19Everything's good news.
01:09:21It's Belton.
01:09:24It's magic.
01:09:35So I was right.
01:09:37You did have the key.
01:09:38Yes.
01:09:39It's done.
01:09:40They're free.
01:09:40Well done, then.
01:09:42Well done, Adam Vinter Kane.
01:09:46Oh, and world.
01:09:47My mother.
01:09:48She's opened her eyes and said my name.
01:09:51Why shouldn't she?
01:09:52Oh, I'm glad.
01:09:53I am glad.
01:09:55So the work's done.
01:09:57Yes.
01:09:58I'm just going down to the gardens.
01:10:00Tie up loose ends?
01:10:01Yes.
01:10:03You bring that mother of yours to see me when she's on her feet
01:10:07again.
01:10:07I've got a thing or two to tell her.
01:10:09But I expect she knows already she's got a good one.
01:10:14Bye-bye.
01:10:40Those children, the ones I've heard for 60 years or more,
01:10:48only in snatches might, only glimpses,
01:10:52whose voice is bright.
01:11:25Miss Raven.
01:11:29Miss Fole.
01:11:36It was Halloween last night.
01:12:08It's a mystery.
01:12:11I'll pick something on the moon's where the bridge is.
01:12:19And I'll be six for higher, or my name ain't Tilly Larkin.
01:12:23Of course.
01:12:27Teddy.
01:12:29Edward.
01:12:31Edward Larkin.
01:12:38Full circle.
01:12:46Come on, Teddy.
01:12:49Come on, Teddy.
01:12:52Come on.
01:13:01Thanks.
01:13:02I'll see you next time.
01:13:03Oh
