"Yes, it's here. I've found it." "Come on." " Simon, I'm scared." " Why?" "Suppose it doesn't work?" "Suppose it all goes wrong again?" "We might end up in goodness knows where." "It won't go wrong this time, because we want to get back to our own time." "How do we know going back will stop Devereaux?" "It's the only thing we can do." "If only we'd realised it's not Traynor who's the threat, but Devereaux." " He's responsible for the Burn Up." " How?" "The Devereaux we met in the ice Box wasn't a clone, but a projection of one." " What?" " (Mr Randall) Are you coming..." "We must hurry." "If the Devereaux in the ice Box isn't a clone, then what is he?" "Please, Liz." "All right." "Devereaux as a clone is merely a projection." "A projection of what he could become in the future." "But how did it all start?" "The Burn Up, the ice Box, the room without windows." " Simon, tell me." " Oh, come on." " At least we're on familiar ground." " Yes, no jungles or ice fields." " l wish I knew the date." " Simon." "Commander Traynor, how did you escape?" "It's no good, Liz." "We've come back to our own time." "Take them away." "Don't know?" "Don't know?" "Our own daughter could be anywhere and you don't know where she is?" "Frank, I don't know. I wish I did. I care as much for Liz's safety as you do." "I'm her mother, remember?" "I'm sorry, darling." "Of course you care for her." "But we've got to find them." "We've just got to find them." "My feeling is we should go direct to Colonel Murray." " Traynor's boss?" " We can't go to Traynor or the police." "What good can Colonel Murray do?" "What will you say to him?" "Two children have disappeared into a different time phase?" "Oh, no." "Liz and Simon live in a world that no one else will ever understand." "Look, when you were under the influence of hypnosis, you saw Liz and Simon in some kind of office." "Now, what office?" " l don't..." " Come on." "Try to remember." "What did it look like?" "Anything on the walls, the furniture, anything?" "I can't. lt's just no good." "You saw Liz and Simon standing in the middle of a room." "And there was someone else in the room, sitting at the desk." "A man." "You didn't like him." "You didn't trust him." " No." " Why?" "Come on, Jean, try to remember." " Why didn't you trust him?" " l don't know!" "How often do I have to tell you, Frank?" "I can't see Liz and Simon." "God knows how many times I've tried, but I just can't see them." "Have you any idea what that's doing to me?" "It's tearing me apart." "Oh, Frank, I wish I could make you understand." "This second sight." "You know they call it a gift?" "It's torture." "When I was in that sleep, it was different." "It was like staring into a crystal ball, everything was so clear." "The moment I opened my eyes, it was as though a... a steel curtain had been suddenly pulled down in front of me." "I'm awake and yet I can't see." "Oh, Frank, I'm scared." "I'm so scared. I don't think we're ever going to see Liz again." "Well?" "Negative." " So I was right." " Dr Frazer..." "We must stop this." "Surely you can see that." " You mean the rejection symptoms?" " No, the longevity programme." " HA57 doesn't work." " Look here." "It doesn't work and never will until we test every particle of the formula." "We've been doing it for years." "We have no right to subject human lives to a drug that hasn't been proven." "Somewhere along the line, this formula doesn't balance." "In my opinion, HA57 needs at least another five years of intensive research." "There comes a time when testing has to give way to application." "Even at the risk of human life?" "Have you ever known a time when it wasn't at risk in biological research?" "HA57 will one day prove itself the greatest lifesaver since penicillin." "We can turn death into a thing of the past." "HA57 is having the reverse effect of that envisaged by Devereaux." "We're advancing senile decay." "No drug is perfected in five minutes." "You should know that." "Five minutes?" "We're talking about five years." "Devereaux started these tests five years ago and this is as far as we've come." "Nurse, take the patient back to the ward, please." "Dr Frazer, why do we want to extend life?" "Surely the one we've got is enough." "Why be afraid to die?" "It's easy for you to say that, Pitman, at your age." "(Moans)" "Maria, what have they done to you?" "It'll soon be over." "It's just as well. lt'll soon be over." "(Pitman) What's going on there?" "Get this patient on oxygen as quickly as possible." "Can I see you for a moment, please?" "Yes, Mr Pitman, what is it?" "The patients, our volunteers, are not responding to treatment." "Unless we combat rejection sickness within 48 hours, they could all be dead." " Shall we discuss this later, Mr Pitman?" " Later?" "This is the same room we were in five years ago." "Then it had windows." "Perhaps that's how Traynor escaped." "Who cares?" "We're never going to get out of this place again." "Which means that this is an outer wall." "I wonder what's on the other side?" "We're in our own time, anything can happen to us." "We're trapped." "Stop feeling sorry for yourself and we might find a way out of here." "I'm not feeling sorry for myself." "You're not a bad girl but at times you're a drag." "You think that bursting into tears is a solution." "I'm very sorry, I'm sure. I hadn't realised I'd been such a hindrance." "But it wasn't my idea to come back through the time barrier." "That's the most extraordinary part of it all." "We spent all that time in 1965 and yet the moment we stepped back through," "Traynor was waiting for us, in exactly the same place as we'd left him." "Well, it was as though time had stood still." "A most interesting theory, young man." "Perhaps you could explain it to me." " Why Traynor?" " Traynor works in Whitehall." " Simon went to his office." " l don't see... lt all adds up." "If Traynor hadn't shown interest, Liz and Simon would be here." " lt wasn't Traynor I saw under hypnosis." " l still think Traynor is the clue." "Here we are." "Ministry of Forward Development." " Right, we're on our way." " Frank, just a minute." "Frank, supposing we're wrong and Liz and Simon wanted to go back through the barrier?" " They'd have been back by now." " Not necessarily." "I'm not waiting any longer." "This time I'll get them back for good." "Hello, Ministry of Forward Development?" "I'd like to speak to Commander Traynor." "Time." "Time is our great enemy." "We can neither stop it nor start it." "But now, thanks to all our efforts, we can control it." "You'll never control the natural life span." "Not your way." " My way?" " HA57 is a killer and you know it." "It's going to take at least another 20 years to perfect it." "You think so?" "You may be right." "All the more reason why I would expect you to do your duty." " Duty?" " You know the future." "You've seen it." "You could help us to advance our research by 20 years." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "I never discovered the formula." "It died with Devereaux in the ice Box." "Why are you doing this to us?" "Why are you keeping us here against our will?" " After all we've done to help you." " You've only ever hindered me." "We went back into the past to 1965." "Devereaux was holding you prisoner in this room." "You begged us to help you." " 1965?" " Why did you lie to us?" "You've been using this place for the cloning experiments." "You never told us." " 1965." " What happened after we left you?" "Why did Devereaux try to silence you?" "Why were you given a year's leave of absence?" " That's enough." " HA57 doesn't work, Commander." "All those patients downstairs, old people, disintegrating, dying." " Stop it!" " We saw them as they really are." "As they really should be." "Young people, Commander." "Just five years ago, they were young, healthy people." "Not much older than me and Liz." "Five years ago, Commander!" "I don't give a damn where he is." "Get Commander Traynor or I'll go straight to the Minister himself." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Oh, blast you." " What's happened?" " Hung up on me." " lsn't Traynor there?" " He's there, all right." "It's obvious he's avoiding me." "We'll see about that." " What are you going to do?" " lf he won't come to me, I'll go to him." " You're going to his office in Whitehall?" " Yes, I am." " l'm coming with you." " There's no point." "I'll have a better chance of getting in if I go on my own." " We'll see about that." " You've been through enough already." "If Traynor's responsible for Liz and Simon disappearing, then I want to know about it." "Liz is my daughter too, Frank." "Don't ever forget that." "He's mad, isn't he?" "Commander Traynor." "He's stark raving mad." "No, I have a feeling it's something far more serious." "Something we'd never realised before." "When we told him about seeing him in 1965, he didn't remember." " Or pretended not to." " No, he was troubled by it." "Now, why?" "I don't understand why he should be so changed from five years ago." "What did they do to him?" "Surely he couldn't have forgotten." "How could you forget?" "This room - he was sleeping in this very bed." " lt just isn't poss..." "Unless..." " Unless?" "Remember in the ice Box, what Dr Bukov told us about the cloning process?" "A clone has one major deficiency." "He only remembers what's happened since the cloning process." "The real memories are only partially transmitted." "Yes, I know, but what has that got to do with..." "Oh, no." "Are you saying that Commander Traynor, the same man we met at St Oswald's, the man you, me, Mummy and Daddy have been talking to is a..." "The answer's been staring us in the face and we couldn't see it." "But it's fantastic." "He's so...ordinary." "It could answer a lot of questions." "Why he was away from his office for a year." "Why he couldn't remember what happened to him here in this room." "He was being subjected to the cloning process." "But I always thought Devereaux was the first clone." "He tried to clone himself but it didn't work." "He had to find a substitute to fulfil his ambitions." "Then the Devereaux we met in the ice Box, the one we thought was a clone..." "Was a projection." "He never was cloned." "Face it." "We've been fooled." "Commander Traynor is the clone." "I'm warning you." "Expect serious trouble, breaking into a government building." "No lD card." "We are top security, you know." "Where is Traynor?" "Where are my daughter and Simon Randall?" "Simon Randall?" "That name rings a bell." "Oh, yes, of course, Eden Park Comprehensive." " Miss Stebbins." " Commander Traynor is not available." " He cannot be disturbed." "He's at R1 ." " R1?" "What the hell's that?" "That's something we don't talk about, do we, Mr Skinner?" " Frank." " lt's like Piccadilly Circus in here." " Jean, what is it?" " Frank, you were right." "This is the room." "You mean this is the room you saw under hypnosis?" "Yes, I think so." "Well, I'm not sure." "It looks the same, but I'm not sure." "Would somebody tell me what this is all about?" "It is imperative we talk with Traynor at the first opportunity." "Now, how do we get to this R1 place?" "lmpossible." "No unauthorised personnel are allowed past the main gate." "Cut the red tape." "My daughter's life is at stake." "Now, how do we get there?" "(Traynor) Mr Pitman, what are the symptoms you're disturbed about?" "(Pitman) An increase in the pulse." "(Pitman and Traynor continue chatting)" "Liz, wake up." " What is it?" " Sh." "Voices." "It's Traynor." "Inertia sickness. increase iron content four grams for the next three hours." " No cause for alarm." "She'll pull through." " Yes, but for how long?" "Shall we answer that question when we have to?" "This is proof that HA57 is a failure." "We've got to cancel the longevity programme." "The longevity programme continues as planned!" "He's right." "We've got to be careful." "60o/o of the patients show identical symptoms." "We shall find out where we went wrong." "It could take five years to perfect it." "All these people could be dead by then." "The cloning programme might have to be abandoned." "The programme will succeed, Dr Frazer." "That I can promise you." "(Traynor) HA57 is the drug of the future." "Devereaux's future." "But we must open the minds of those who are unwilling to part with its secret." "(Pitman) You mean those two young people?" "(Traynor) They are our key to the future." "You're going to subject those two children to hypnosis?" "No, you can't." "You know what happened when the government investigated us." "It's forbidden to use human life in psychiatric research." "The Master Plan will succeed through the efforts of scientific research, not government commissions." "Prepare the patients for phase three hypnotherapy in half an hour from now." "Well?" " Simon, what did they say?" " Mm?" "Only enough to tell me we've got to find our way out of this place pretty soon." "It's so frustrating to think on the other side of this is freedom." "I wonder if we'll ever breathe fresh air again." "Come on, darling." "There's no point in stopping here." "Traynor's the one we want." "That research centre must be around here somewhere." "And so close to the old naval station." "They're out there, Frank, somewhere." "I know they are." "Look, Jean, even if they are, we can't find them." "Whatever lies the other side of that barrier is beyond our reach." " l want to go over there." " No, keep out of that field." "The only way we'll find Liz and Simon is through Traynor." "Frank, I have to go." "You understand, don't you?" "All right, but I'm coming with you." "No." "On my own." "It has to be on my own." "Please." "(Buzzing)" "Pitman, listen to me." "You've got to go, get out as quickly as you can." "Don't ask questions." "For your own sake." " Run away?" " For your own sake." " ls it Traynor's idea?" " lt doesn't matter who." "Do I know more than I ought to?" "Will I sabotage the Commander's ambitions?" "What is he, Dr Frazer?" "What is Traynor?" " He's a very sick man." " You mean a dangerous man." "What's pushing him?" "Why is he going on with this maniacal field of research?" "He has to." "He has no alternative." " This is what Devereaux wanted." " Devereaux?" "Charles Traynor's not..." "not the kind of man you may think he is." "He exists on only half a brain." "What in hell are you talking about?" "He's only half the genius Devereaux intended him to be." "The other half is the potential menace." "Are you trying to tell me that Traynor is some kind of schizophrenic?" "It's worse than that, Pitman." "Believe me, it's much worse." " Simon." " At last." " Are you all right?" "(Giggles)" " Just about." " Thank goodness for that." " What?" "You laughed, even if it was at my expense." " You looked so silly." " Ventilator's no good." "You wouldn't get a mouse through there, let alone us." "I feel so shut up in here." "There's nowhere." "Those walls could be ten feet thick for all we know." "Are we ever going to get out of here?" "We've got to, if only to stop Traynor creating his technological world." "It's probably all over now." "The jungle, Beth, just one huge cinder." "Don't forget, the future's only a projection." "It can't happen unless we let it." "In a funny way, I feel sorry for Commander Traynor, after what they've done to him." "It must be lonely being the first of a new species." "It's worse going around with an incomplete brain." "Incomplete?" "Devereaux made a clone of Traynor, but he died before he finished his work." "Traynor's mind is split in two." "Neither side knows what the other is doing." " Rather like a schizophrenic." " How horrible." "Like living in sunshine on one side and darkness on the other." "Have you ever tried to remember something and can't?" "It's awful. I wish there was something we could do for him." "Traynor's beyond help now." "You can survive without an arm, a leg, or even an eye, but to live in a world you can't properly remember is the worst punishment." "Wherever Traynor is, he's going through hell." "What is it?" "Can you see something?" "I'm..." "I'm not sure." "is it Liz and Simon?" "Are they out there?" "No, it's not Liz." "It's Traynor."
