"I've been told the horse is back in Sasolburg!" "But I saw it with my..." "There is surely a logical explanation" "Surely Rip won't be needed at the police station?" "No!" "He claims that he knew her in 1859 and her name was Rina." "She claims she has never seen the man in her life before." "van Wyk was freed by the police and is being assessed by a psychiatrist."

"Come and get dressed, we're going to town." "Are you coming, Mr. van Wyk?" "Let's try something else." "Let's try the Rorsarsch test." "I hope you agree, Doctor." "What does that look like to you?" "It's like a moth." "Does it remind you of something else?" "A bat, for instance?" "And what about this?" "A bat." "And this?" "A bat." "And this?" "A bat." "They alll look like bats?" "No, it looks like a moth." "See all these holes?" "And all these blocks..." "We'd like you to fit each block into the right hole as well as you can." "If you're ready." "Good- you can begin." "Your next patient is here, doctor." "Tell them to hold on." "Well I feel this case needs further discussion." "Some people have no respect for time." "When can I go back?" "They all think I'm mad." "They have me do test to see how mad I am- look here..." "Calm down- you're getting overexcited." "Dr. Venter, I have him!" "Come in, I have him!" "Not again!" "Fine, I'm insane." "Totally nuts!" "I'll send you a comprehensive report" "Thanks Professor." "It's an interesting case." "Have you and the Professor figured out any more?" "Nothing we will discuss here." "Is there talk of reincarnation?" "Certainly not!" "There's no scientific basis for that theory!" "There's no sensational story here." "Step right in, I'll be right there." "Where is my gun?"

"Uncle is inside of this!" "Talk to him" "Where are you?" "Hold it to your ear first." "Here, look." "Talk into here and listen here." "What's going on?" "I see you've been reading about Annette's tribe." "Now you know who she is." "I also know I'm going to marry Rina." "You can do what you like." "Sooner or later I'll go bak and marry her." "That clock behind you is two minutes fast." "Can you set it properly?" "I will- goodnight." "Pass it here." "Was it the man who.." "Yes." "How did he know you were here?" "He knows everything." "What are you doing?" "Feeding the bees." "Nah" "True- see this flower's too small." "There;s lots of honey but the bees can't reach it." "So, I tear them open." "Now they can reach it." "See how nicely they drink." "Oh.... do you want to feed them?" "Yes." "Hold it here." "Like that and take your other arm." "Wait til the bees arrive." "I'll be right back." "Rip, it's time to go home." "Aren't you pleased?" "Yes" "Well get your things, let's go." "You're in a hurry." "Yes, I am." "I'm in no hurry." "Why not?" "I know I will marry Rina in 1862." "We'll have children, grandchildren." "I think I will I will visit my great-grandchildren." "We must go or..." "You'd get into trouble, eh?" "I'll drink that but first do something for me." "You can do anything." "I saw you make a horse vanish." "What do you want?" "Give Marietjie her sight back." "Is that what you want?" "Yes." "How much do you want it?" "Very much" "Well, it can be done if you want it very much." "But you will have to show how much you want it." "You must give something." "All I have is my gun and gunpowder." "If you want something expensive it won't cost small change." "The equilibrium must be maintained." "An eye for an eye." "Hang on, I said I'd drink that if you..." "but now you want...?"

"One day some people had a picnic with their daughter." "There lit a fire and there was an explosion." "Since then that girl's been blind." "Marietjie?" "Yes." "And now you want her sight restored." "You could argue that its my fault, but I just threw a powderhorn away." "Now I must pay such a price for something that happened a century later?" "Shouldn't there be a high cost to repair the consequences of a man's actions 100 years later?" "But you're suggesting I pay with my eyes." "You must decide how much you'd like Marietjie to see again." "Buy my eyes?" "You've had yours thirty years." "She'd barely seen the world when..." "Think it over until tomorrow." "You look well dressed today" "Hello doctor." "I am leaving today." "Really?" "Where to?" "You might not believe it but I am returning to my own people." "I don't know what to believe."

"Will you take her a flower?" "Thanks" "Goodbye" "Remember to feed the bees." "I see you're still wearing those clothes." "We wondered if you'd join us?" "No, I'm going away." "Where to?" "I'm going back." "Will you not be back?" "I don't think so." "Look after her." "Yes, I will." "There goes your sensational story." "Nobody would have believed it." "Can I see her get her sight back before we leave?" "Yes but first you must pay." "All of it." "What are you doing there?" "Looking for a gunpowder horn." "You won't find it if you search 100 years." "I've been thinking, i can't give away my sight." "Then Marietjie must go blind." "No, not that either." "Don't waste time." "Look at Rina and get finished." "Here's your gun." "Take me home." "And now its all over." "Marietjie can see and the you're back home." "Things don't look right to me." "Why not?" "You're back, you've not lost a single day so what's the problem?" "What will happen to Annette?" "She'll be happy." "In 104 years she will marry that newspaper reporter." "She won't- she won't understand." "Why not?" "I'm blind, I'm not marrying Rina." "There won't be children or grandchildren." "There won't be Annette." "Think you can change the future?" "You know Annette must exist-you've seen the proof." "Someone else must be her Great-grandfather." "Yes, but the book said its you." "I don't care, I'm not marrying her." "Even when you could see you were too scared to profess your love!" "If I could see again I'd ask right now!" "I've wasted enough time on this thing." "You've given me more work than any other case." "Look- we'll make a quick contract." "If you can get her to marry you within the next two minutes you get your sight back." "Two minutes starting now!" "But I can't even see." "Fine" "I'll lend you your sight for two minutes." "If you can't do it then you stay blind." "I have other work." "Can you see now?" "yes!" "Go!" "I heard you didn't get home last night." "Why did you turn around?" "I want to talk to you." "Yes?" "Come sit here." "I want to ask you something." "Yes, Rip." "Heard you never made it home Did you turn around?" "I can't find my gunpowder keg." "Try by the stables." "I must talk to you." "yes, Rip." "What you doing back here so soon?" "I'll tell you later." "Where must I put this?" "In the storage." "Rip, pass me that lantern." "Not now." "Oh please." "Would you like coffee?" "No." "Morning, Rip." "Thought you left last night What are you doing back?" "16, 15, 14, 13" "You weren't reading Aunt Marie's ghost stories?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I'll have that coffee please." "Looking for me?" "Where are you?" "What is it now?" "Two minutes was too short." "I'd have thought that sufficient." "No, I needed more than two minutes." "My hands are tied." "Give me another chance." "I said I've wasted enough time on this case." "Give me just a minute and a half." "I'll give you a minute." "It's not enough." "Starting now!" "I want to ask you something" "Yes, Rip." "Jan said you took my powder keg." "Take mine." "I don't want this crap." "Will you marry me?" "Please say yes." "I've waited a long time for you to ask." "But today you're so strange." "You're all over the place and you're fighting with everyone." "And you're wearing flowers." "Marietjie gave them to me." "And who is she?" "She's just.... 2, 1 Some people have no respect for time." "3, 2, 1" "Just say yes." "Please." "yes, Rip." "We're going to have children and grandchildren." "What's with you today?" "You would never believe me." "In a hundred years this will all..." "It all becomes a bit fast" "This man was saying 2 minutes then 3 minutes." "It must have been a dream." "Was Marietjie in the dream?" "Who is Marietjie?" "The one who gave you the flower." "It was the moonshine, you know I can't handle strong booze." "I want to ask you something" "Yes?" "Will you marry me?" "Of course!" "He annoyed me." "Just take his powder keg and throw it away." "But he's trying to blame me for his mess." "Right greyhorse- drink this." "Old Farmer's drink" "The End?" "Subtitles by shaunx"
