00:18Yes, you're here. I found it. Right.
00:21And I'm scared.
00:22Why?
00:23Suppose it doesn't work. Suppose it all goes wrong again.
00:26We might end up in goodness knows where or when.
00:29Look, it won't go wrong this time because we want to get back to our own time phase.
00:32But how do we know going back is going to stop Devereux from building his new future?
00:36It's the only thing we can do.
00:38If only we'd realised all along it's not Traynor who's the threat to the future, but Devereux.
00:42He's responsible for the burn-up in 1990.
00:45How?
00:46Because the Devereux we met in the icebox wasn't really a clone, only a projection of one.
00:51What?
00:51I am coming, aren't you?
00:53Come on, Liz, we must hurry.
00:56If the Devereux in the icebox isn't a clone, then what is he?
01:00Please, Liz.
01:01All right, Devereux as a clone is merely a projection.
01:04A projection of what he could become in the future.
01:07But then how did it all start?
01:09The burn-up in the jungle, the icebox, the room without windows.
01:13It does come in.
01:14Simon, tell me.
01:15Oh, come on, will you?
01:16Oh!
01:21Well, at least we're unfamiliar ground.
01:23Yeah, it's no jungles or icefields.
01:26Wish I knew the date.
01:29Simon!
01:30Come on, a trainer.
01:31How did you escape?
01:32Oh, it's no good, Liz.
01:33We've come back to our own time.
01:36Take them away.
01:56Don't know.
01:57Don't know.
01:58Our own daughter could be anywhere from here to eternity, and all you can say is I don't know where
02:01she is.
02:02Sir Frank, I don't know.
02:04I wish I did.
02:06I mean, I care as much for Lizzie's safety as you do.
02:08I'm her mother, remember?
02:10Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
02:13Well, of course you care for her.
02:15But we've got to find them.
02:17We've just got to find them.
02:19My own feeling is we should go direct to Colonel Murray.
02:22Colonel Murray?
02:23Trainer's boss?
02:24Well, if he can't go to Trainer or the police...
02:26I'm sorry, what good can Colonel Murray do?
02:28I mean, what are you going to say to him?
02:30The two children have just disappeared into a different time phase.
02:33Oh, no, Frank.
02:34I mean, Liz and Simon live in a world that no one else would ever understand.
02:40Look, when you were under the influence of hypnosis,
02:43you saw Liz and Simon in some kind of office.
02:46Now, what office?
02:47Look, I don't...
02:48Now, come on, Jean, try to remember.
02:50What did it look like?
02:51Anything on the walls, the furniture, anything?
02:54I can't.
02:55It's just no good.
02:56I can't.
02:56You saw Liz and Simon standing in the middle of a room.
03:00And there was someone else in the room.
03:03Sitting at the desk.
03:04A man.
03:06Yes.
03:06You didn't like him.
03:07You didn't trust him.
03:08No.
03:08Why?
03:09Come on, Jean, try to remember.
03:11Why didn't you trust him?
03:12I don't know.
03:14How often do I have to tell you, Frank?
03:16I can't see Liz and Simon.
03:18I've tried.
03:18God alone knows how many times I've tried, but I just can't see them.
03:21And if you've any idea what that's doing to me, it's just tearing me apart.
03:27Oh, Frank, I wish I could make you understand.
03:31This second sight.
03:33They call it a gift.
03:35It's torture.
03:38When I was in that sleep, it was different.
03:41It was like staring into a crystal ball.
03:43Everything was so clear.
03:45The moment I opened my eyes, it was as though a steel curtain had just been suddenly pulled
03:52down in front of me.
03:53I'm awake, and yet I can't see.
03:59Oh, Frank, I'm scared.
04:03I'm so scared.
04:05I don't think we're ever going to see Liz again.
04:06I don't think we're ever going to see Liz again.
04:30Well?
04:32Negative.
04:35So I was right.
04:36Dr. Fraser, we've got to put a stop to this.
04:39Surely you can see that now.
04:40Look, if you're talking about the rejection symptoms...
04:42I'm talking about this whole longevity program, HA57, just doesn't work.
04:46Now, look here...
04:46It doesn't work!
04:47And it never will until we test every particle of the formula.
04:51What do you think we've been doing all these years?
04:53We have no right to subject human life to a drug that hasn't been thoroughly proven on
04:57the laboratory bench.
04:59Somewhere along the line, this formula just doesn't balance.
05:02In my opinion, HA57 needs at least another five years of intensive research.
05:10There comes a time when laboratory testing has to give way to practical application.
05:14Even at the risk of human life?
05:16Have you ever known a time when human life wasn't at risk in biological research?
05:21HA57 will one day prove itself the greatest lifesaver since the discovery of penicillin.
05:25We're on the verge of turning death into a thing of the past.
05:28HA57 is having the reverse effect to that envisaged by Professor Devorah.
05:32We're not halting C and I'll decay.
05:33We're advancing it.
05:34No drug is perfected in five minutes, Pittman.
05:36As a biologist, you should know that.
05:37Five minutes?
05:38We're talking about five years.
05:40Devorah first started these longevity tests five years ago,
05:43and this is as far as we've come.
05:44Nurse, take the patient back to the ward, please.
05:50Dr. Fraser!
05:52Why do we want to extend life?
05:53Surely the one we've got is enough for any man.
05:55Why be afraid to die?
05:57It's easy for you to say that, Pittman.
05:59At your age.
06:16Maria!
06:16What have I done to you?
06:19It's silly.
06:21It's just as well.
06:24What's going on there?
06:28Get this patient on oxygen as quickly as possible.
06:37Mother's trainer, can I see you for a moment, please?
06:39Yes, Mr. Pittman, what is it?
06:41The patients, our volunteers, are not responding to treatment.
06:46Unless we combat the rejection sickness and then the next 48 hours, they could all be dead.
06:51Shall we discuss this later, Mr. Pittman?
06:54Later!
07:02You know, this is the same room we were in five years ago.
07:05Then it had windows.
07:07Perhaps that's how trainer escaped.
07:09Who cares?
07:10We're never going to get out of this place again anyway.
07:13Which means that this is an outer wall.
07:16I wonder what's on the other side of it.
07:18Now that we're back in our own time phase, anything can happen to us.
07:20We're trapped.
07:22Well, if you could just stop feeling sorry for yourself for a minute, we might find a way out of
07:25here.
07:25I'm not feeling sorry for myself.
07:27Oh, yes, you are.
07:28You're not a bad girl on the whole, but at times you're a drag.
07:30You seem to think that bursting into tears is the solution to everything.
07:33Well, I'm very sorry, I'm sure.
07:35I hadn't realised it'd been such a hindrance.
07:37But don't forget, it wasn't my idea to come back through the time barrier when we did.
07:42That's the most extraordinary part of it all.
07:44We spent all that time in 1965, and yet the moment we stepped back through the time barrier,
07:50a trainer was waiting for us, in exactly the same place as we'd left him.
07:54Well, it was as though time had stood still.
07:58The most interesting theory, young man.
08:05Perhaps you could explain it to me.
08:12But why Traynor?
08:13Well, Traynor works in Whitehall, doesn't he?
08:15And Simon went to his office.
08:16Yes, but I don't see how...
08:17Well, it all adds up, don't you see?
08:19If Traynor hadn't shown an interest in the time barrier, Liz and Simon would be here right now.
08:23But it wasn't Traynor I saw under hypnosis.
08:25Even so, I still think Traynor is the clue.
08:28Ah, here we are.
08:29Ministry of Forward Development.
08:32Right, we're on our way.
08:33Frank, Frank, just a minute.
08:39Frank, supposing we're wrong.
08:40Supposing Liz and Simon wanted to go back through the time barrier of their own free will.
08:43Then they'd have been back here by now.
08:45Not necessarily.
08:46I'm not waiting any longer.
08:48This time I'll get them back for good.
08:50Hello.
08:51Ministry of Forward Development.
08:53I'd like to speak to Commander Traynor.
08:55Time.
08:57Time is our great enemy.
08:58We can neither stop it nor start it.
09:00But now, thanks to all our efforts, we can control it.
09:05You'll never control the natural lifespan of a human being.
09:07Not your way.
09:09My way?
09:10HA-57 is a killer and you know it.
09:12It's going to take at least another 20 years to perfect it.
09:15You think so?
09:18Well, you may be right.
09:20All the more reason why I would expect you to do your duty.
09:23Duty?
09:24Yes, you know the future.
09:25You've seen it.
09:25You could help us to advance our research by at least 20 years.
09:29Oh, look, how many more times do I have to tell you?
09:31I never discovered the formula of the longevity drug.
09:33The secret died with Devereaux in the icebox.
09:35Why are you doing this to us, Commander?
09:37Why are you trying to keep us here against our will?
09:40After all we've done to help you.
09:41Help me?
09:42You've never done anything to hinder me.
09:43You've muddled in here.
09:44Back into the past to 1965, Devereaux was holding you prisoner.
09:48In this very room, you begged us to help you.
09:531965?
09:56Why did you lie to us?
09:57You've been using this place for the cloning experiment.
09:59You never told us that.
10:021965?
10:03What happened in this room after we left you?
10:06Why did Devereaux try to silence you?
10:08Why were you given a year's leave of absence from your office?
10:11That's enough.
10:12HA57 doesn't work, Commander.
10:14All those patients downstairs.
10:16Old people disintegrating, dying.
10:18Stop it!
10:19But we saw them as they really are.
10:21As they really should be.
10:23Young people, Commander.
10:25Just five years ago, they were young, healthy people.
10:28Not much older than me and Liz.
10:30Five years ago, Commander!
10:39I don't give a damn where he is.
10:41I want to speak to Commander Traynor right away
10:42or I'll go straight to the minister himself.
10:45Hello?
10:46Hello?
10:47Oh, blast you!
10:48What's happened?
10:49Hung up on me.
10:51Where is Traynor?
10:52Isn't he there?
10:52Yes, he's there, all right.
10:54It's quite obvious he doesn't want to speak to me.
10:56Well, we'll soon see about that.
10:58What are you going to do?
10:59Well, if he won't come to me,
11:00I shall go to him.
11:01Are you going to his office in Whitehall?
11:03Yes, I am.
11:05I'm coming with you.
11:06Oh, no, darling, there's no point.
11:08I'll have a better chance of getting into the building if I go on my own.
11:11Well, we'll see about that.
11:12Oh, no, Jean, you've been through enough already.
11:15Look, if Traynor's involved in this,
11:17if he's responsible for Liz and Simon disappearing,
11:19then I want to know about it.
11:22Liz is my daughter too, Frank.
11:25Don't ever forget that.
11:32He's mad, isn't he?
11:34Commander Traynor.
11:35He's stark raving mad.
11:38No, Liz, I have a feeling it's something far more serious than that.
11:41Perhaps something we'd never realised before.
11:44When we told her about Simon in 1965,
11:46he didn't seem to remember.
11:48Or pretended not to.
11:49No, he was definitely troubled by it.
11:51Now, why?
11:53What I don't understand is
11:55why he should be so changed from what he was five years ago.
11:57What did they do to him?
11:59Surely he couldn't have forgotten.
12:01How could you forget?
12:02This room.
12:03We're sleeping in this very bed.
12:04It just isn't possible.
12:06Unless.
12:07Unless?
12:09Liz, remember when we were in the icebox,
12:10what Dr. Bukov told us about the cloning process.
12:13A clone has one major deficiency.
12:15He can only remember what's happened to him
12:17since the cloning process.
12:19The previous memories of the real person
12:21are only partially transmitted.
12:22Yes, I know.
12:23But what has that got to do with...
12:27Oh, no!
12:29Are you saying that Commander Traynor,
12:31the same man we met at St Oswald's,
12:33the man that you and me and Mummy and Daddy
12:36have been talking to, is a...
12:37The aunt has been staring us in the face all the time
12:39and we just couldn't see it.
12:41But it's fantastic!
12:43He's so...
12:44so ordinary!
12:46It could answer quite a lot of questions.
12:48Why he was away from his office in Whitehall for a year?
12:50Why he couldn't remember what happened to him?
12:52Here in this very room, only five years ago?
12:55And he was still being subjected to the cloning process.
12:57But I always thought Devereux was the first clone,
13:00the only clone.
13:01Devereux tried to clone himself, but it didn't work.
13:03So he had to find a substitute
13:05to fulfil his ambitions for the future.
13:07Then the Devereux we met in the icebox,
13:09the one we thought was a clone...
13:11Was a projection.
13:12He never was cloned.
13:13We might as well face it, Liz, we've been fooled.
13:15Commander Traynor is the clone.
13:44I'm warning you, Mr Skinner.
13:46You can expect serious trouble
13:47breaking into a government building.
13:49No ID card.
13:50I mean, dash it all, we are top security, you know.
13:53Where is Commander Traynor?
13:54Where are my daughter and Simon Randall?
13:56Simon Randall?
13:58That name rings a bell.
14:01Oh, yes, of course.
14:02Eden Park Comprehensive.
14:03Right, lad.
14:04Miss Stebbins!
14:05Commander Traynor is not available and cannot be disturbed.
14:08He's still down at R1.
14:09R1?
14:10What the hell's that?
14:10That's something we don't talk about, do we, Mr Skinner?
14:16Frank!
14:16Who's the devil?
14:17It's becoming like Piccadilly Circus in here.
14:20Jean, what is it?
14:21Frank, you were right.
14:22This is the room.
14:23You mean, you mean this is the room you saw under hypnosis?
14:26The office?
14:26Yes, I think so.
14:29Well, I'm not sure.
14:30It looks the same, but I'm not sure.
14:32Would somebody mind telling me what this is all about?
14:34Miss Stebbins, it is absolutely imperative
14:36that we talk with Commander Traynor at the first opportunity.
14:39Now, how do we get to this R1 place?
14:41Impossible.
14:42No unauthorised personnel are allowed past the main gate.
14:44Cut the red tape.
14:46My daughter's life is at stake.
14:50Now, how do we get there?
15:02Now then, Mr Pittman,
15:03what are these symptoms you're so disturbed about?
15:05Well, the increase in both the pulse and the respiration process.
15:08Yes, what about it?
15:09I'd like to take an obit four hours instead of an obiator,
15:11but for now...
15:11What reason are we doing that?
15:13Please wake up.
15:14What is it?
15:16Shh!
15:17Voices!
15:20It's a trainer.
15:23Inertia sickness.
15:24Increase the iron content four grams for the next three hours.
15:28The cause for alarm she'll pull through.
15:29Yes, but for how long?
15:31Shall we answer that question when we have to, Mr Pittman?
15:34Surely this is proof enough that HA57 is a complete failure.
15:37We've got to cancel.
15:38The rest of the longevity program reports too late.
15:40The longevity program continues as planned.
15:48He's right.
15:49We've got to be careful.
15:50Sixty percent of the other patients are showing identical symptoms.
15:53We shall carry on until we find out where we went wrong.
15:55But it could take another five or ten years to perfect HA57.
15:58All these people could be dead by then.
15:59The whole cloning program might have to be abandoned.
16:02The cloning program will succeed, Dr Fraser.
16:06That I can promise you.
16:09HA57 is a drug of the future.
16:11Devereux's future.
16:12But before we can make it work, we must open the minds of those who are unwilling to part with
16:17its secret.
16:18You mean those two young people you brought back from the ministry field?
16:21They are our key to the future.
16:23You're going to subject those two children to hypnosis.
16:27No, trainer, you can't.
16:28You know what happened when the government commission investigated this in 1965.
16:32It's forbidden to use human life in psychiatric search of this type.
16:35The development of the technological master plan will succeed only through the efforts of scientific research,
16:39not government commissions.
16:43Prepare the patients for phase three hypnotherapy in half an hour from now.
16:54Well?
16:57Simon, what did they say?
17:00Only enough to tell me we've got to find a way out of this place.
17:03Pretty soon.
17:05It's so frustrating to think on the other side of this is freedom.
17:08I'm beginning to wonder whether we'll ever breathe fresh air again.
17:28Come on, darling, there's no point in stopping here.
17:31Train is the one we want.
17:33That research center must be around here somewhere.
17:36I'm so close to the old naval station.
17:39They're out there, Frank, somewhere.
17:41I know they are.
17:42Liz and Simon are out...
17:42Now, look, Jean, even if they are, we can't find them.
17:46Whatever lies the other side of that barrier is beyond our reach.
17:50I want to go over there.
17:51No, Jean, keep out of that field.
17:54The only way we'll find Liz and Simon are out of the train.
17:56He's the one we want.
17:57Frank, I have to go.
17:59You understand, don't you?
18:05All right.
18:06But I'm coming with you.
18:07No, on my own.
18:09It has to be on my own.
18:12Please.
18:13Please.
18:42Listen to me.
18:46I've got to go. Get out of here as quickly as you can.
18:48No, don't ask questions. Just go, for your own sake.
18:50Do you want me to run away, sir?
18:51For your own sake, Pittman.
18:52Is it his idea, a trainer?
18:53Oh, it doesn't matter who.
18:55Do I know more than I ought to?
18:57Am I likely to sabotage a commander's personal ambitions? Is that it?
19:00What is he, Dr. Fraser?
19:02What is trainer?
19:03He's a very sick man.
19:05You mean a dangerous man.
19:08Well, what's pushing him?
19:09Why is he going on and on with this maniacal field of research?
19:13Because he has to.
19:14He has no alternative.
19:15This is the way Devereux wanted it.
19:16Devereux?
19:19Charles Trainer's not the kind of man you may think he is.
19:23He exists on only half a brain.
19:25What in thundering hell are you talking about?
19:27He's only half the genius Devereux intended him to be.
19:30The other half is the potential menace.
19:33Are you trying to tell me that Trainer is some kind of schizophrenic?
19:36A split personality?
19:37It's worse than that, Pittman.
19:39Believe me, it's much worse.
19:41It's worse.
19:43Yes.
20:06Let's see.
20:06Let's see.
20:08Let's see.
20:09Let's see.
20:35It's time last!
20:36Are you all right?
20:37Just about.
20:39Well, thank goodness for that, and about time, too.
20:41What?
20:42You laughed again, even though it wasn't my expense.
20:44Well, he looked so silly.
20:46Ventilator's no good, I'm telling you.
20:47You wouldn't get a mouse through there, let alone us.
20:50I feel so shut up in here.
20:53There's no air.
20:54Those walls could be ten feet thick, for all we know.
20:58Oh, Simon, are we ever going to get out of here again?
21:00We've got to, if only to stop Traynor
21:02from creating his technological world of the future.
21:06It's probably all over now.
21:08The jungle, Beth, just one huge cinder.
21:12Don't ever forget, Liz, the future's only a projection.
21:15Look, it can't happen unless we let it.
21:20In a funny sort of a way, I feel rather sorry for Commander Traynor.
21:23After what they've done to him.
21:25I mean, it must be lonely being the first of a new species.
21:28It's far worse than that going around with an incomplete brain.
21:31Incomplete?
21:32Devereux made a clone of Traynor, but he died before he could finish his work.
21:37Traynor's mind must be split into two.
21:39Neither side knowing what the other is doing.
21:41Rather like a schizophrenic.
21:43How horrible.
21:44It must be like living in sunshine on one side and darkness on the other.
21:48Have you ever tried to remember something and can't?
21:51It's awful.
21:52I wish there was something we could do for him.
21:55Traynor's beyond help now.
21:56You can survive all right without an arm, a leg or even an eye.
22:00But to try and live in a world you can't properly remember must be the worst punishment of all.
22:05And wherever Traynor is now, he's going through absolute hell.
22:20What is it?
22:22Can you see something?
22:25I'm not sure.
22:27Is it Liz and Simon?
22:29Are they out there?
22:31No.
22:33No, it's not Liz.
22:37It's Traynor.
22:48I...
22:55I don't care...
22:57Do ya know why...
23:08Take a look from him.
23:10I won't forget that once a while.
23:10It isn't worth wondering.
23:11Wait wait wait.
23:12Later...
23:17There's a good bargain.
23:18Suddenly...
23:18We'll wait.
23:18I got to use a good bargain piece of this.
