00:21You two again!
00:24Where did I?
00:25Fibon!
00:30Dr. Joynton!
00:33Dr. Joynton!
00:37What's happened, Mukhoff?
00:39She's dead.
00:40The alarm went. What's going on?
00:45How did this happen?
00:47I don't know, director. The bell sounded...
00:49Beth?
00:50Dr. Joynton was in fantasy.
00:52You were in here with her? Yes.
00:53Everything normal? Yes.
00:54Fantasy gear? Yes.
00:56It's terrible. Dr. Joynton. She's dead.
00:58A fairly simple diagnosis. Do I have to spell it out to anyone?
01:02No, director.
01:03Is it the longevity drug?
01:05Yes, Beth. It's failed.
01:06The longevity drug can't fail.
01:08I checked the prescriptions on brain link to the computer as usual.
01:12They were entirely accurate.
01:14Dr. Joynton took her dosage. I saw her. We all did.
01:16Correct, Mukhoff? Correct, sir.
01:18There's been some more carelessness here, hasn't there? Criminal carelessness this time.
01:22It seems I can't delegate the least responsibility to anyone in this place.
01:26I shall have to send a report to the International Commission. A detailed report.
01:29And I want you all to know...
01:32I shall treat this as a case of murder.
01:38Edith Joynton.
01:41Useful colleague.
01:42I look after things here, director.
01:44Yeah.
01:49Larry?
01:51Yes, director?
01:52You are relieved of all duties. Confined to court us till further notice.
01:56You don't suspect me, sir.
01:57Whatever the fault, it must have been yours. If the prescriptions were correct, and they were, the mistake was in
02:01the manufacture.
02:02You have the watching brief over that.
02:03But I checked everything out against the instruction tape, as always.
02:06Be silent.
02:07Your error.
02:08Your error.
02:08Who else could be responsible?
02:10You're not suggesting that I was responsible for Edith Joynton's death?
02:14That's not fair.
02:15Why don't you all leave Larry alone? He's done nothing wrong.
02:17I beg your pardon.
02:18How dare you speak to the director like that.
02:20Because I'm not screw-rapping things here the way you are.
02:22I don't have to bow down to little thing, God.
02:24Liz, don't say.
02:25I wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for them.
02:27Stop it.
02:28Look, I only...
02:28No, Liz, no.
02:31What's going on here?
02:33Your relationship with this volunteer seems extraordinarily close, Jean.
02:38Not close, director.
02:40Liz and Simon were just unhappy when they first came here.
02:43I try to be kind to them.
02:44They're only children.
02:45Is that all?
02:46Beth?
02:47I've tried to get rid of them right from the beginning.
02:50They're not the right sort of people for the icebox, director.
02:53I have to report, in fact, that when the emergency alarm went, they were in your office again.
02:59What are you trying to do here?
03:01What?
03:01Nothing.
03:02Just find out things.
03:03There's plenty to find out, isn't there?
03:04What about the other computer in the back room of your office?
03:07Shut up.
03:07Well, what's it there for?
03:09Doesn't anyone know?
03:10She knows.
03:11She went in.
03:13I see.
03:15It's obvious I shall have to devote more attention to you two.
03:20You also are confined to quarters.
03:23No!
03:24Not quarters.
03:25Somewhere where we can keep a constant eye on you.
03:28The fantasy room, Beth.
03:30Drop an electronic shield around them!
03:32Very good, director.
03:34And as for you, Larry,
03:35a check on the computer memory bank will soon make it clear to me where you went wrong.
03:40Whatever you say, director.
03:44What's the score, Beth?
03:47Do you think that everything that goes wrong around here can be put down to human error?
03:51There's nothing to talk about, Larry.
03:53You're confined to quarters.
03:55Oh, no.
03:57Untouchable at last.
03:59That's what you've wanted, isn't it?
04:02Well, you're safe from me now.
04:08I'll never grow up to be like you.
04:10Never!
04:11Never!
04:12Never!
04:13Never!
04:13Never!
04:17Never!
04:18Never!
04:30Why, ty?
05:23It says no evidence of error in operational process, Director.
05:27Then Larry couldn't have been responsible.
05:30The International Commission has laid down certain laws governing the behavior staff in this establishment.
05:35You have studied them, Beth?
05:36Well, of course, Director.
05:37One of them states quite clearly that any emotional involvement among personnel calls for automatic dismissal.
05:42If you mean that I'm in any way involved with any...
05:45How dare you make a pronouncement that Larry was not responsible for Edith Joynton's death?
05:50It is for me to make judgments.
05:52But I dislike Larry.
05:53That's an emotional response.
05:55Your behavior is extraordinarily like that of the female volunteer, Liz.
06:00You must purge yourself of all emotional reactions.
06:04Haven't you learned that?
06:05Ever since I took the Intelligence Enhancement course, I've had only one aim.
06:09The objective pursuit of science.
06:12Be that as it may, explain to me your relationship with Larry.
06:14But there is no relationship between Larry and me.
06:18You will cease all communication with him.
06:21Now let us examine the evidence regarding the HA57 dosage to Edith Joynton.
06:29Yeah, we cannot accept this information as final.
06:33A depth check.
06:33Yeah, that's what we need.
06:35A depth check.
06:36The computer's operations are often more subtle than anyone realizes.
06:39Very good, Director.
06:40Subtlety.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Yeah, that's the keynote.
06:43That's the nature of the communication between me and the computer.
06:47We set each other little traps from time to time.
06:50Did you know that?
06:53Posers.
06:54Try to catch each other out, hmm?
07:02Beth, you can't still be in any doubt about what we're doing here in the icebox, can you?
07:06Have I ever been in doubt, Director?
07:08I meant what I said about needing a personal assistant, but I must be sure of you, Beth.
07:14Director, I've done everything I know to prove to you that I'm totally loyal.
07:18Yeah, that's true.
07:18I gave you the servicing of the inner computer because there was no one else here I could trust with
07:22that task.
07:25But do you know what that computer is actually for, Beth?
07:28The inner computer?
07:30Yeah.
07:31Well, I thought it was to help you in the general line of research.
07:34That's only part of it.
07:38There's a secret in there too, Beth.
07:42A very great secret which you can share one day if you prove loyal enough.
07:50You doubt it.
07:51You still doubt that those volunteers, Liz and Simon, were properly selected by the computer.
07:56Well, I had certain reasons for that.
07:57You trusted your own intuition against the clear terms of the Director.
08:04Yet, in this case, that might not be reprehensible.
08:08I don't understand.
08:10I think that one day, when the truth is finally known,
08:13you will come to discover that you suspected Liz and Simon for the wrong reasons.
08:18Larry was not responsible for the error in the operating process today.
08:23It therefore automatically follows that somebody else must have been.
08:26Liz and Simon.
08:27Someone who deliberately interfered and then carefully covered their tracks.
08:30I believe we should program a complete history of those two volunteers into our depth check.
08:36Don't you, Beth?
08:37We must get at the truth.
08:44You know, this is almost like the odd time barrier.
08:47What is?
08:48This electronic shield, or whatever they call it.
08:51I wonder how it's done.
08:52Force film, I suppose.
08:53Who cares?
08:55Yes.
08:56The downward thrust meets the upward attraction.
08:58Granted, the power surge is stronger.
09:00Simon, I wish you'd stop being so scientific.
09:02How can you even bother about it?
09:03We're prisoners.
09:04Maybe not for long.
09:05Maybe forever.
09:06And all because you couldn't stop being curious about the longevity drug.
09:10Imagining yourself some great scientific genius.
09:12Well, that's right.
09:12Why shouldn't I?
09:13Better than being stupid about it all.
09:15Anyway, I think I've found out now.
09:17You always do.
09:18Simon is the greatest.
09:19Oh, do stop it, Liz, and listen.
09:21It must be to do with that other computer.
09:23That small computer in the back room.
09:26Bukov said there was a testament,
09:28so I naturally assumed it meant something written down.
09:31But when you've got electronic gadgets all around you,
09:33why bother to write things down?
09:35There are far better ways of storing information.
09:37Simon, sometimes I wonder if you're all there.
09:40Oh, get knotted.
09:41Here we are, just waiting to be given new arms and legs.
09:43Well, I don't think it's going to happen.
09:45What's to stop it?
09:46It's the only reason we're supposed to be here, isn't it?
09:49But this is the future, isn't it?
09:50And I don't see how anything can happen to you in a future state
09:53that isn't actually going to exist one day.
09:55What are you going on about now?
09:57Well, look, unless we're truly meant to come to the icebox
09:59and have new arms and legs in the year 1990, it can't happen.
10:03Maybe we are meant to come to the icebox in 1990.
10:05No.
10:06How do you know?
10:07Because if you're coming here at all, you're coming as Beth.
10:10And she hasn't got new arms and legs.
10:11I am not coming as Beth.
10:12I won't.
10:13No matter what they do to me.
10:14But do you see what I mean?
10:18Yes.
10:19Yes, I suppose I do.
10:21Oh, Summer, why is it all so crazy?
10:25Who's there?
10:26Mummy!
10:28Oh, Mummy, we're trapped in here.
10:30Do you know how to get us out?
10:31No, but we must find a way.
10:32You have to get away from here, back through the time barrier.
10:35But I can't leave you here, can I?
10:37And what about Daddy?
10:38Oh, Liz, you must let us manage as best as we can.
10:42Our lives have been very difficult.
10:44Perhaps it'll be different for you.
10:46My life doesn't seem to have made any sense at all.
10:48I can't even remember why things happened the way they did.
10:51Coming here was a terrible mistake.
10:53Then you mean it could have been different, Mrs Skinner?
10:55Well, of course, Simon.
10:56And if I hadn't let Beth go in for that intelligence enhancement course, say,
11:00well, we could just have stayed at home
11:01and somehow help my husband build up his business again,
11:04kept on living normally.
11:05Then that's it!
11:07What is what?
11:08Commander Traynor said that when we went into the past,
11:11it was because of the energy that still existed.
11:13Him again?
11:13Why would he keep bringing him up?
11:15But this is the future, isn't it?
11:16So the real energy doesn't exist yet.
11:19So it's got to be energy of another sort.
11:22Energy not even outside someone's mind as yet.
11:25Maybe not even outside your mother's mind.
11:27Simon, what are you talking about?
11:29Well, that's it, don't you see?
11:30Liz says you can't remember letting us come to the icebox.
11:33So that means it didn't happen for you as you are now.
11:36So why should any of it happen?
11:37If you simply made up your mind
11:39there wasn't going to be any icebox for anyone,
11:41then there couldn't be.
11:42You mean I don't have to be Beth after all?
11:44No.
11:45Then I wouldn't have to be here.
11:47Simon, you and Liz must get back through the barrier.
11:50I must be, well, warned.
11:52That's right, Mrs Skinner.
11:53We must get back to our own time and warn you of all this.
11:56Good old Simon.
11:57Always gets there in the end, doesn't he?
11:58Just too late.
12:01Why couldn't you have thought of all this yesterday?
12:03We're stuck now, prisoners.
12:05In jail.
12:06In jail.
12:06In jail.
12:08In jail.
12:19In jail.
12:23In jail.
12:37Let's get started.
13:17Larry what you're doing here I thought you've been confined to quarters oh
13:21that's all done with I just got the message I'm a free man again the director
13:26giveth and the director taketh away Bukov they must ask no questions don't get
13:30told no lies that's all that Bukov why do you ask sorry oh just some computer tapes
13:37that I need to keep separate why Larry how far can I trust you I don't know what
13:45that means I'm serious perhaps you're never aware that Edith joint and I had a
13:49special job given to us here by the International Commission it was in fact
13:54to keep the director under observation under observation yes I can't tell you
14:00any more for the moment it's only necessary I confide in someone else with
14:04Edith dead these tapes Larry they're vital to the report I must make remember it in
14:12case anything should ever happen to me Bukov old comrade that's look like an old
14:17Hollywood movie what's gonna happen to you it happened to Edith
14:55come on Beth haven't you got that depth check on Liz and Simon yet it's proceeding
14:59director
15:06just a moment there's something here
15:08so
15:09yeah
15:09yeah
15:09yeah
15:09yeah
15:09yeah
15:11yeah
15:15yeah
15:43So, let's go.
15:50director that's an important message I think you better why are you here
15:55I've isolated an important message from the memory bank I think you better
15:57how dare you you know I allow no one in here while I'm at work
16:07I give you privileges and and you abuse them my staff hinder rather than help me
16:17you're all alike director my staff hinder rather than help me
16:39it's all right you can cancel that depth check I have had it on personal depth
16:45contact that Liz and Simon are the parties responsible for Edith Joynton's death
16:48but they can't be they shouldn't even have been in the icebox
16:52what's that you say the computer says there was a change of plan it even
16:57so easily deceived that message is a forgery
17:02it's only a matter of clearly establishing what has gone before no
17:05such message was ever passed to me on brain link to the computer therefore no
17:08such message ever existed Liz and Simon again I fear
17:13trying to undermine the unity between me and the computer
17:20destroy my work
17:24era
17:35a bit warm in here tonight
17:40check temperature control
17:43this director at once
18:10hi
18:11Larry you've come to see me
18:13well it shows me good taste
18:15but I wanted to find out what's going on really
18:17nasty to think the same heat's been put on you that I just got off me
18:20what heat the rumor seems to be the big boss is blaming you and Simon for poor old Edith now
18:28oh no why don't ask me
18:31did you do anything
18:32such as what
18:33shove a spanner in the works maybe
18:35mess about with the computer controls
18:37no
18:37of course not why would we do a thing like that
18:39there must be a reason
18:42I'd hate to see you get in real trouble Liz honestly I would
18:45I will be all right expect Larry
18:48it's just being cooped up in here that's so awful
18:51yes I know
18:52the funny thing is
18:54I could get you out of it
18:55if I took it into my head
18:57how
18:57just by blowing a fuse
18:59well come on Larry please
19:01Liz how would it help
19:02there's only the risk to the icebox beyond this room and the cold outside
19:05you'd be worse off than when you started
19:09Larry
19:10I can't stand being boxed in truly I can't
19:13I never have it drives me mad
19:15it does eh
19:16I nearly started to scream a little while ago
19:18didn't I Simon
19:20oh yes you bet and write out loud
19:22and if I'm left here much longer
19:24I'll have a fit or something
19:26oh please Larry couldn't you blow a fuse to help me
19:29but you can't go anywhere
19:30all the same just to be free
19:33you're a funny kid
19:34but nice
19:36why isn't Beth like you
19:37I don't like Beth
19:40tell you what
19:42you teach Beth how to be nice to me
19:44and I'll let you out of jail
19:45okay
19:46okay
19:47you mean it Larry
19:48oh you could persuade her
19:49if you put your mind to it
19:50twist her round your little finger
19:51the way you have me
19:53man was born to trouble
19:54as the sparks fly upwards
19:57still
19:57since I'm used to it
20:02hey the boss man is right
20:05it is warm tonight
20:07see ya
20:14he's going to do it for us he is
20:15you never flirt with him though
20:17did you
20:18flirt
20:18it's nothing to do with me Liz
20:20but if you're going to behave like that
20:21with every man you meet
20:22you'll turn out to be the sort of girl
20:23it's not very nice to know
20:33wow
20:43Barry
20:44I've got to talk to you
20:45since when are you going to talk to me
20:47don't do stop going on
20:48you've got me in enough trouble as it is
20:49I don't want to talk to you
20:50I've got to
20:52now listen
20:53there was a computer instruction
20:54a little while ago
20:55telling us not to proceed with the AB experiment
20:58and not to expect volunteers
20:59is that right
21:00well yes I remember that
21:03then it wasn't a fortune
21:07look I thought we had been
21:08counter-minded the way
21:08these things often are
21:15the director had it all on brain link
21:17anyway
21:17so he's the one to ask
21:19on brain link
21:21for goodness sake
21:22what's the matter with you tonight
21:23you're rushing around
21:24like a scared rabbit
21:25there's something up with the heating
21:27it's reached 25
21:29and it's still climbing
21:30what
21:32can't you feel it
21:40that's it Liz
21:41quick
21:53I just don't get it
21:54everything's functioning normally
21:57Larry something's wrong
21:59the heat
21:59we're working on it
22:02perhaps that's not necessary
22:04what
22:05the needle's going down again
22:06back to the mark
22:11right get this stuff on
22:12right
22:15there normal again
22:17just another power surgery
22:18looks like it
22:20just another break
22:21in standard process
22:22like the water supply
22:23cut off the power
22:24the reactor failure
22:26we've certainly
22:26had a lot of it lately
22:28too much
22:29and I for one
22:30would like to know why
22:31come on Simon
22:32hurry up
22:33sorry Liz
22:33I'm not going
22:34you've got to be joking
22:36no I'm still interested
22:37in that longevity drug
22:38blow the longevity drug
22:39if you don't come now
22:40we'll never live to use it
22:41that's the only thing
22:42that matters now
22:46the only thing that matters
22:47is you get back
22:47to your mother
22:48and warn her of all this
22:49no
22:49look before someone catches you
