All language subtitles for The Time Tunnel - 1x05 - The Last Patrol.DVDRip.en

Two American scientists
are lost in the swirling maze...

of past and future ages...

during the first experiments on Americas
greatest and most secret project-

the Time Tunnel,

Tony Newman and Doug Phillips now tumble
helplessly toward a new, fantastic adventure...

somewhere along the infinite
corridors of time,

Doug?

There! Fire!

Tony.

Tony, Tony,

Tony. over here.

Am I glad to see you.

- Buckskins?
- Were gonna need them too.

Come on. Keep low.

Whos tryin to hunt us down?

Looks like we got ourselves caught
in the middle of a battle.

- There are troops all over.
- What kind of troops?

I dont know.

You know. from the look of these trees
and these buckskins...

we could be somewhere
in the southern United States.

But where and when?

Were gonna have to find a better place to hide
until we get our bearings.

Lets go.

Over there! Get after them!

All right.
On your feet. you.

So weve got the two of you. huh?
All right. now move out.

Dont try to escape.
or Illl shoot you.

Quickly. now. Move out.

I dont care!
Tell General Packenham I cantt wait!

Ive got to know what strength
to commit tomorrow!

And Ive got to know today!
In fact. now.

So youre back from the American lines.
Have you got that information?

- No. sir.
- I told you that information was vital!

Yes. sir. But the woods are
full of American patrols. sir.

I know all about the American patrols.
Who are these men?

- We ran into them inside our own lines. Spies. sir.
- Spies?

Spies?
Now. wait a minute.

Are you the commander
of this regiment. sir?

- I have that honor. - This may sound
strange to you. but theres been a mix-up.

Were noncombatants here. and if youlll
give us a chance to explain. we can-

Youll have every chance to say
what you like at your trial.

- Trial?
- After which. youll be shot as the spies you are.

Uh. Sergeant. take them away.

The Time Tunnel.

Now. Captain. youll relay
the order of bivouac.

Inform the major- no cook fires.
troops to be ready for battle at dawn tomorrow.

- Uh. begging the colonels pardon.
- Yes. What?

- Well. I mean. sir. uh-
- Are you expecting an American attack. Captain?

The woods between here and New Orleans
are full of their troops. sir.

Yes. I know. Thats where theylll stay.
The Americans are hopelessly outnumbered.

Theyll have to concentrate their strength.
Our task is to discover their weak point...

- and let drive at it.
- Perhaps if I took another patrol. sir.

You will. you will. you will. Captain.
and this time youre going to have help.

Theres always a way
to reach oness objective,

- Captain. I want you to convene
a court-martial immediately. - Sir!

Were not gonna
pry these loose.

They look like
the leg irons off a ship.

I imagine the British invading party
brought them ashore.

- Do you know where we are?
- I have an idea.

You really think you can beat
GeneralJackson. soldier?

Well take him right enough.

You Yanks shouldve known
when to quit.

New Orleans.

Were getting set for the last battle
in the War of 1812.

Its going to be a bloody one
and a useless one.

Watch your chance.
Weve got to get out of here.

Sergeant. break these men free
from their leg irons.

- Do we have a fix on Tony and Doug?
- Not yet.

We have a time lock
on the period.

Theyve got to be
in this area someplace.

General KirK, telephone,

Thank you.

Kirk speaking.

- Yes. General Southalls been cleared. Send him in.
- The Pentagon?

No. General Southalls attached
to the British Embassy. I called him in.

- To help us pinpoint the unit?
- Partly.

He has a very special interest
in the War of 1812.

One of his ancestors was in it.

- Oh. hello. Woody.
- How are you. Phillip. Its good to see you again.

You know. this is incredible.

- Absolutely incredible.
- Well. Im glad you could come. Phillip.

- Oh. Im glad to be here.
- Oh. uh. General Southall.

- Dr. MacGregor.
- Its a pleasure. sir.

- Dr. Swain. - How
do you do. - General.

Im really. absolutely amazed.

Phillip. we think we have a fix on the Seventh
Royal Regiment. Id like you to confirm it.

Well. Ill help in every way I can.
of course.

- Ive located them. General.
- Uh. where do I-

Oh. all right. All right.

Yes, thats the Seventh, all right,

They wore blue facings
on their red coats.

- Thats the Butcherss regiment.
- The Butcher?

Well. thats what they called my ancestor.
the good Colonel Southall.

Why is the identification
of this regiment so important?

You see. sir. its possible to get a time lock
on Doug and Tony...

if theyre with other persons
we can fix in time historically.

Our historical computers give us
no record of the Seventh.

Well. its nice to know the human memory
still has some use in the world.

My ancestor led the Seventh...

into a bloody slaughter.

He couldve accomplished
an easy maneuver...

and outflanked the American fortifications.
defeated your Andrew Jackson.

But he didnt.

The battle was fought
on January 7. 1815.

The date our synchronizer
gave us was January 6.

Aye. but the British
will attack at dawn.

The Seventh will be
almost completely destroyed.

If thats where your men are.
I suggest you get them out.

The Time Tunnel
is far from perfected.

If we try to move them now.
without an exact time fix...

we could kill them.

Well. if they move
with that regiment...

theyll have absolutely
no chance at all.

By the grace of
His Royal Majesty George III...

according to
the ordinance of Charles I...

and the Statute of 1689.
this court is convened...

Colonel Phillip Southall
acting as judge advocate for the crown.

The formal charge
against you is conspiracy...

against His Majestys armed forces.
espionage in time of war.

- How do you plead?
- You cant charge us-

- How do you plead?
- Not guilty.

All right. you have the right to be
represented by counsel if you wish.

We dont need counsel.
This has all been a mistake. Colonel.

Oh. I know its always a mistake
when yourre caught.

All right. Have the record show that the accused
declined the offer of counsel.

- What are your names?
- Im Dr. Douglas Phillips. This is Dr. Anthony Newman.

Well. well. well. Its not often you catch spies
who are also physicians.

Or are you philosophers?

Well. I have here two passes
which were found on your persons...

attaching you toJacksons forces and allowing
you to pass through American lines at will.

We found these clothes in the woods.
The passes were in them.

- So you deny being attached to GeneralJacksons forces?
- Yes.

So. by remarkable coincidence.
you came across some clothes...

containing these passes.
and you simply took them.

Well, if that story
is to be believed...

I suppose youre guilty of nothing
more serious than simple theft.

- Thats about it. Yes. sir.
- Mmm.

- And youre not military men at all.
- No. sir.

- Then what the devil are you?
- Were naturalists.

Now why dont we drop all pretense?

What is your rank. and to what unit
are you attached?

Were attached to no unit. Colonel.

And weve been nowhere near
the battle area. That is the truth.

Now listen. The only truth I want
is the disposition ofJacksons line!

I want a listing ofhis forces
and his artillery,

And I want to know his movements
for the next 24 hours!

We cant tell you that.
because we dontt know.

Well. youre digging
your own graves by your silence.

All right. Its the duty of the judge advocate
to advise the members of the court...

on the application of law
and to recommend sentence.

In this case. the evidence
speaks for itself.

The accused were found
behind British lines...

out of uniform and in possession
of two American military passes.

The evidence is quite conclusive.

It is the unanimous judgment of this court
that you be found guilty of the crime...

with which you are here charged.

We demand the right to appeal.

Your appeal is denied.

The court hereby sentences you
to be executed by firing squad.

The sentence to be carried out immediately,
All right, Major, TaKe these men away,

Stay where you are.

General.

Well.

Well. as you can see.
my ancestors reputation is richly deserved.

Dr. Swain. were gonna try to bring them back.

Im having trouble refining
the time lock. General.

Now wait till
the last possible moment.

Ann. superimpose their signals.

Be ready to go
when I give the word.

Is this what you call British justice. Colonel?

Theres no justice on the battlefield.
only experience.

I mean. you left me no alternative.
Surely you can see that.

Ive no desire to Kill either of you,

But the evidence was so conclusive
and your defense was so feeble...

I could scarcely let you go,

My superiors would call me
to account for that.

However. if you choose to reconsider
and cooperate with me...

theres still time,

You know. something
just occurred to me...

that might
soften matters a bit.

Theres no need
for both of you to die.

What do you mean by that?

Well. I mean. that one of my men
on an intelligence mission...

was captured recently
by the Americans.

Theyre always willing
to trade captives,

So I thought that one of you
might be spared for that purpose.

No.

I could have him killed
before setting you free.

I mean to say.
he wouldnt have to know.

Wouldnt work.
The Americans wontt trade for me.

Hes your man.

All right.

Is there. uh.
anything I can do for you?

No.

I mean. do you have a family
that you would like to-

- Were not spies. Captain.
- Well. thatss neither here nor there. is it?

I mean. the colonel keeps
strictly to the regulations...

and the book says you should
be executed. so hell do it.

There is a way
around the old man,

And I see no reason why I shouldnt do it.
since Imm in charge of prisoner exchange.

But. unfortunately.
it would only save one of you.

It wont work. Captain.

You cant play us off
against each other.

- No?
- Use my friend to make your trade.

- You had it judged right. Colonel. and thats a fact.
- Yes.

Seems that each one is trying
to outdo the other in self-sacrifice.

Touching.
Bring that one to my cabin.

Yes. sir.

Theyre giving us a breather.
but not a long one.

I want to try a transfer
before they get separated.

Were still having trouble
with the time lock. General.

Look at him. Woody.
Isnt he vain though. eh?

CocKy, self-centered,

There he is on the eve of a battle
worrying about his eyebrows.

Well. somethings going
to happen to throw him off.

- Where will the Seventh spend the night?
- Right there. where they are.

Well.

Now Im going to give you
the opportunity to earn your life...

and the life of your friend.

Captain Hotchkiss here is going
to take your friends clothes...

and youre going to lead the captain
on a patrol through the American lines.

- No. I wont. Colonel.
- Yes. you will.

And if you and the captain are back here by dawn.
then your friend will be set free.

Otherwise. of course. hell be shot.

- You dont give me any choice. do you?
- Well...

you were willing to sacrifice
your life for your friend...

why shouldnt you be equally willing
to sacrifice your honor?

Is that all?

Sergeant.

The colonel set up the arrangements
for the trade?

Theres no trade.
Listen to me.

Im leading the captain
on a patrol.

In return. the colonel has agreed
to let us go.

So dont do anything
to get yourself killed.

You dont know any more
about the country than they do.

Its a case of the blind
leading the blind.

- Just sit tight. Ill be back by dawn.
- Tony.

Dont you try
any heroics either.

This is the last battle
of the war.

Nothing we can do
will change the outcome.

History will take its course...

and well be exchanged
when itss over.

Trouble is. history doesnt always
record everything-

like two anonymous
suspected spies...

executed in the wilderness.

Jacksons forces
are all about here.

Now. when youve changed clothes
with the hostage...

youll take the other prisoner
and infiltrate the American lines...

at about there.

You want to scout the entire line.
find the weakest point.

- Youre going to tell us where that is.
- Yes. sir.

Now. theres a rocket signaling station-
Where is it?

- Uh. right there. sir.
- Yes. there.

Now youll be there before dawn.

Your signal will give us
our line of march. All right?

- Yes. sir.
- Whats the matter?

- You have any doubts?
- Oh. no doubts at all. sir.

Not about the directions.
but what about the American?

- Do I bring him back here?
- Oh. Well. you know. Captain...

the first rule of war is to eliminate
all elements that might lead to defeat.

What I mean to say is. the two prisoners
have been tried by a proper court-martial...

and found guilty.

The time of execution is only a matter
of personal discretion.

So. when your man
has served his purpose...

you will. uh. simply carry out
the order of. uh. execution. thats all.

- Cheers.
- Cheers. sir.

Hold up.

We shouldve reached
that first ditch by now.

If we had taken a straight route.
we would have run intoJacksons pickets.

I dont know about that.

Look. I intend to get you back
to the British camp before dawn.

Now if you dont trust me.
then you lead.

Youd like that. wouldntt you?

The chance to get behind me-

Quick. into those bushes.
Hurry! Hurry!

Oh. Im sure I heard eem.

You. scout the river.

You and mell head back
for the redoubt.

Yes. now that we know
the direction of the redoubt...

well have no need for any more games
of fox and hare. will we?

- Its your patrol. Captain.
- That it is.

And in case you get any ideas
of striking out on your own...

you should Know that
in the Peninsula Campaign...

I killed a man on a fast horse
at a hundred yards with this pistol.

Maybe youd better get
something straight. Captain.

What information you get
out of this patrol is up to you,

But Im gonna get you back
to your camp at dawn.

- And thats all that concerns me.
- Very well.

Now move out.

One pull of the trigger...

and General Andrew Jacksons
a dead man.

Thats quite a dilemma for you.
isntt it?

Whether to sacrifice your friend
to save the general,

- You wont shoot. Captain.
- Oh?

You cant be sure of killing him
from this distance.

And you wontjeopardize
your mission...

to take the chance
for a little personal glory.

Now if youve seen enough.
wedd better get moving.

I want to take a closer look
at that right flank.

Unless. of course.
youd rather save me the trouble...

by telling me
what defenses he has there.

I wouldnt give you the time of day.
Captain.

All right. Well have a look.

Now move out and step quickly.
We dont have much daylight left.

Halt,!

- Were Americans.
- Give the password.

Were new to this area. Sergeant.
but we have passes.

These seem to be in order.
But youll have to come with us.

Were on a special mission
for GeneralJackson.

We cant afford to lose any time.

Im afraid youlll have to take time
to talk to Captain Jenkins.

Take his pistol.

Come on. Lets get this one
back to Captain Jenkins.

Youve got the papers.
but you haventt got the countersign.

Id call that a peculiar circumstance...

since no man was given a pass
without the countersign to go with it.

- What do you say to that?
- Im Captain Richard Hotchkiss...

of His Royal Majestys Seventh Regiment.

And I demand treatment
according to my rank.

The rank is in the uniform. sir!

And you appear to be
without it at the moment.

- What are you doing here? - I am Capt.
Richard Hotchkiss of His Royal Majestys Seventh-

Ah, never mind, Captain,!
I Know why youre here,!

But youll never get a chance to use
the intelligence youvve collected,

I can guarantee you that!

All right. Take him away.

Well. I rather thought that you wouldnt let
your friend back at our camp go hang.

- All right. Lets go.
- Illl take the musket. if you please.

- Not a chance.
- I insist,

You dont think Imm going back through the lines
at musket-point. do you?

- If you want to get back. youll do as I say.
- Thatss precisely it.

I have nothing to lose by staying here.
You most certainly do.

If I dont get back
to relay the rocket signal...

the colonel will undoubtedly
taKe the right road anyway,

I shall be free
in any event tomorrow.

Now. do we stay
or do we go?

- This is far enough.
- Were not halfway there.

I can make better time alone.

Your colonel made a bargain.
Captain.

We dont make bargains
with the enemy.

Technically,youre under sentence of death,
which has been delayed,

And I have been assigned
to carry it out.

Now get behind that bush,

Move!

Theres no need to be nervous. boy.
Wevve all got to die sometime.

Now get up.

If I could only talk to him...

know what hes thinking.

Oh. youve no idea how many times
Ivve had to answer for his mistakes.

You know the sort of thing.
OOh. yourrre a Southall...

- relative of the Butcher of New Orleans.
and so forth.

- Eh. doesnt seem to have done you any harm.
- No. no. I dontt suppose so.

It might even be responsible
for my success. such as it is.

You know. made me
work harder and all that.

Ah. Woody.

You know. Im not under orders
at the moment.

Im on terminal leave
from the army...

and Ive no family. nobody.

What I mean is- is this.

I want you to send me back there.

- Why. its out of the question.
- No.

I want to talk to this man.
I have to know what he was thinking...

why he butchered 500 men.

Im sorry. Phil.
But the answer has to be no.

Even if I wanted to let you go.
I havent got the authority.

You dont.

Well. then. who has the authority?

- You try to go over my head. huh?
- Yes. why not?

- Yes.
- It wont do you any good. Phil.

Is that your direct line
to the Pentagon?

Yes.

Lieutenant!

Bring in that prisoner.
The one that Hotchkiss took this afternoon.

Sir.

Thats all. Lieutenant.

Well. I want you to look
at this map on the table.

- I said. look at the map.
- I cant help you. Colonel.

Oh. but you will help me.
I promise you that.

Before you leave this cabin.
youre going to tell me...

exactly where General JacKsons strength
is concentrated,

Youre going to give me exact listings
of all the troops on his right flank.

You didnt understand me. Colonel.

I cant tell you anything. because
I dontt have the information that you want.

I could kill you. here and now.

- Yes. what is it?
- Uh. sir. the signalmen are outside. sir...

- awaiting your orders. sir.
- All right. Come over here.

- Now. do you see that clearing?
- Sir.

You will proceed with the signalmen
to that clearing...

and wait there for Captain Hotchkiss.

If the regiments to attack from the east.
yourre to fire a rocket in that direction.

If from the west. you will so fire the rocket.
Do I make myself clear?

- Yes. sir.
- All right. Dismissed. Oh. Lieutenant.

- Sir.
- Wait for me outside the door.

Well. my dear sir...

I have really no desire
to see you dead.

- But if you force me to it-
- Youre lying. Colonel.

Your intentions are to Kill me,
no matter what I do or say,

- Thats the truth. and I know it.
- Oh. I see.

Well. then.

if you can be
of no further service to me...

I see no reason
to detain you further.

- May I ask what happened to my friend?
- Certainly.

I imagine hes dead by now.

Captain Hotchkiss had orders
to kill him...

- when he ceased to be of value,
- Why-

Lieutenant.

I want you to summon
the firing squad.

March this man away from the camp,
have him executed...

and then proceed
to the rocket launching site.

Take this man away now.

Can we try for a single retrieve?

It would kill him for sure.

- Were tuned for a superimposure.
- Woody.

General White.

Kirk speaking. Yes. General.

I. uh- I understand your position.

Yes. Ill notify you immediately.

Thank you. sir.

- General White threw it in my lap.
- Well. then. let me go.

Not just for my sake. personally.

Your man is in danger,
I may be able to help him out of it,

You know. it takes only one man
to countermand the order of execution-

Colonel Southall.

What makes you think
you can change his mind?

Because I know him.
spent a lifetime studying him.

I know all his strengths.
all his weaknesses.

Id be risking your life
on the chance of saving his.

No. Im risking my life-

whats left of it.

Well. I told you.

Im on terminal leave.

So. you really havent the right...

to refuse my offer.

Activate the Tunnel.

Phil. theres a couple of things
you should know.

We can send you there
in complete safety.

But its doubtful
if we can ever get you back.

And you cant change
your ancestor.

Hes a part of history.

All right.

I shant mind spending
my remaining time back then.

And killing Doug Phillips
isnt a part of history.

Well. not yet. anyway.

Countdown ready.
All systems green and clear.

Just walk straight into the Tunnel
and keep going.

Phil.

- Good luck.
- Thank you. Woody.

Bye.

Count him down. Ann.

Ten. nine. eight...

seven. six...

five, four...

three. two...

one, zero,

Attention!

Ready,!

Aim!

Fire!

Shoot him!

- Well. where did you come from? Who are you?
- Ah? Ah.

Im Brigadier General Phillip Southall
of the British War Office...

and I want to see
your commanding officer.

Look. I asked you. where did you-

- General Southall. did you say. sir?
- Yes. I did.

- Yes. sir. Will you come with me. sir?
- Certainly.

After Ive had a wash and tidy up.

Uh. yes. sir.

Uh. fo-follow me. sir.

- Give me the musket.
- Help!

Help me, somebody,! Help,!

- Help,!
- It could be a hundred yards. It could be half a mile.

Stay here.
You come with me.

Oh. for the love of heaven.
help me out of here! Help me!

I will.

Only because I need you.

Now. give me the musket!

Help me.
Help me. Help me!

Help me.

I cant hold on to it.

Help me. quick!
Give it to me again!

Give it to me.
Give it to me.

Get something else. Get another-

- Get something to help me out of here!
- Dont panic!

- Dont panic. Youlll sink faster.
- Get something else. Quick!

Get something else!

Come on. Grab it.

Pull!

Youre almost out.

- Are you all right. sir?
- Yes,

- What time is it?
- Its about 5:00 in the morning. Itlll be daylight soon.

How far is your signaling station
from here?

- Well. about half a mile. Captain.
- Hmm.

I think it is appropriate
you see the signal...

that will lead to the defeat
of your army...

before I kill you.

Kill him?
But he just saved your life!

Colonel Southall
gave orders to execute him.

Now move him out,

Its incredible!

Its impossible.
Itss fantastic.

Listen to me. sir. If I were to believe
that you come from the future...

Id have to believe
that I myself are going mad.

Well. how else can you account
for what Ive told you about yourself...

about your family?

Well.

But my present interest is to discover
if you have a present intention...

of committing your brigade against
the strong west flank ofJacksons fortifications...

- come what may,
- My present intention?

Of course not!
I intend to attack his weak side.

- Which is?
- That information. sir. I hope to have...

signaled to me from a rocket
in the forward position. here.

Colonel. an official investigation
will show...

that rocket will tell you
to attackJacksons east flank.

Why will you attack his west flank...

and sacrifice 500 British lives?

Why. sir. do you continue
to insult my intelligence...

with this constant pretense
that you can see into the future...

indeed. that you come
from the future?

And fanciful jokes about official investigations
are not to my liking.

There will be an official investigation.

Oh. really?

And what. pray. shall I say?

Your written statement
in the course of that investigation...

will begin with an entry
from your own field report...

written in your own hand.

It will read...

JJanuary 7. 1815-

lln spite of repeated requests
to General Packenham...

ffor the number of brigades
to commit today...

aand for intelligence as to the point
in JacKsonsss defense line...

aagainst which they ought
to be committed...

I received no reply.

In this book...

just one half hour ago...

I wrote in my own hand...

JJanuary 7. 1815-
In spite of my repeated requests...

tto General Packenham for orders...

ffor the number of brigades
to commit today...

and for intelligence as to the point
in Jacksons defense line

And do you still say
that it is your intention...

to attack in accordance
with that rocket...

- and not against it?
- Huh?

Yes.
Thats what I say. I do.

You will set the rocket to the east.
Lieutenant.

- Thats Jacksonss weak side. And. uh. light the fuse.
- Yes. sir.

Well. I appreciate your help.

I never could have done it
without you.

And now. I intend to carry out
my promise.

Lets get out of here.

No!

No. youve faced the rocket the wrong way!

Colonel. the signal rocket!

- Well. wheres the rocket?
- West,!

West? That means we attackJacksons west flank.
Thatss the weak side.

All right.
Give the order to march.

Well. General. I still dont really believe
anything about you.

- But, if you liKe,you can march in the second ranK,
- Thank you.

Oh. by the way. I trust you heard my order
to attack in accordance with the rocket.

Yes. Yes.
Thank you very much.

The Royal Scottish Highlanders,

Im getting a signal
for General Southall.

We cant take a triple. General.
Wedd be stretching it to take a double.

Well stretch it then.
I dontt intend to leave General Southall there.

- When you have the three signals superimposed. let me know.
- Yes. sir.

Theyre coming right into us-

right into our strong point.

Hold your fire...

until I give the command!

Its gonna be a bloody one.

- Wed better get out of here.
- We cantt do it. Tony.

They sent someone back
through the Tunnel to help us-

a British officer.

He saved my life.

Well. if hes out there...

nothing can help him.

Fire!

Are the signals superimposed?

Im losing the signal
for General Southall.

Why is he losing radiation?

Theres only one explanation.

I think hes dying.

- General.
- Yes-

- The Tunnel?
- Yes. The Tunnel.

Listen. I want you
to do something for me.

Just in case
your chaps back there...

didnt see all of this...

I want you to tell them...

Colonel Southall
was not a butcher.

He made...

an honest error.

He was misled by...

a rocket signal.

And it moved him
in the wrong direction.

Now. listen.

I want that on the record.

Will you see to that for me?

- We will. sir.
- Very good.

- Doug. weve got to get help.
