Clear! 250.

250 ready.

Clear!

On 300.

300 ready.

Clear!

He's gone.

I don't know what to tell you. It's over 100 degrees out there. This guy grabs me

with his hands. It's ice cold.

Apart from his obvious external wounds, everything is out of alignment. Even his

veins are out of alignment. Now, wait.

Look at the heart.

The aorta doesn't line up.

Now the spine.

Same thing same shift right across the third vertebrae This guy looks like a

paper dog got cut up and pasted back together No wallet no ID just just this

thing around his neck She says ITC on it. So we gave him a call.

That's a big outfit out in the desert Yeah, sure. They're our biggest

contributors. Excuse me, John Frank Warden ITC here to pick up Vince Tom's

body Oh, uh, Mr. Gordon, I'm Dr. Kova. I'll take care of that paperwork right

away. Thank you.

Vincent Taub, huh?

Ah.

That's Vinny's good luck charm. Thank you so much, Sheriff. Pretty sad when

your time comes and there's no one out there to claim you but your employer.

Uh.

Excuse me, Sheriff.

Sir.

Gordon.

No, no, no. I'm picking up the body right now, Robert.

Was he alone or was he with Decker?

Taub's the only one here. We'll get the body out of there. And whatever x-rays

and records they have. Get everything.

Okay? Will it be a problem?

No, there's no problem. They've been very accommodating.

If this gets out, ITC is ruined.

Any idea where the hell he ended up in the desert?

I don't know. Maybe... Maybe he used his marker without enough clearance. It

could be one of a million things.

Not too bright.

He's dead, Robert.

Taub is dead.

Oh, Mr. Gordon, by the way, what's Castle Gard?

I heard that's the only word the guy said.

Castle Gard.

Huh.

Sounds like an amusement park.

Listen up, class.

April 4th, 1357.

Castle Gard, France. The English army in their nice red uniforms occupied the

village of Castle Gard.

The French, meanwhile, were advancing, trying to drive them out of there in

this direction, over the river, past the monastery, and up.

Been over to the heights here.

Just leave it, Chris, that's fine, before you wreck the place.

The English army, meanwhile, had retreated to Castle La Roque.

Well fortified, very strong, very well supplied, and both sides had settled in

for a long siege.

The French were trying to push the English out of France for a hundred

years. Lord Oliver, he tries to take the fight out of the French. Now, he has a

prisoner, a woman. A woman of class and a woman of nobility.

Commander Arnaud's sister, Lady Clare.

Now, during the battle, he hangs her from the battlements for all of the

French forces to see.

Now, instead of demoralising the French, no, no, no, it whips them into a frenzy,

and they attack the castle like madmen, and they overpower the English with

sheer passion.

So, the fortress of Laroque fell in one night because of the death of one woman,

Lady Clare.

All right, folks.

That's enough of the academics for today. Time to go and get your hands

dirty.

Hey, Dad, I got Merrick's Clippers for you.

Great, thanks.

Here, hold that, will you? Yeah.

Thanks. You can move it around if you like.

So, hey, I thought this was going to be a routine trip.

It is.

Come on, last time you cut off your beard, I think you sold the house and we

moved to Kentucky for a year.

Yeah, your mother wanted a change of scenery. How does this always end up

happening to me?

Because I am older and very much wiser than you. Have a beer. Cool you down.

Very hot work, aren't I? Thank you.

No, come on. I know something's going on, though. I mean, the beard's coming

off, so what's really happened?

It's these amazing finds we've been making.

Doniger's been giving us too many tips, you know.

He's a lucky zillionaire, Pops.

Nobody's that lucky, not even me. He knows something he's not saying.

Something isn't right about this.

And he's been ducking me. I'm going to go down there and get a few answers.

Maybe even scrounge a couple of bucks when I'm there. Put that in my bag,

would you? And don't wrinkle it.

And listen, I'd appreciate it if you don't tell anybody about this.

Especially Kate.

Why would I tell Kate?

Here. Have a wee run round that, would you?

Why wouldn't I tell Kate?

You come to see me twice a year. You stay until you're bored to distraction.

I think the record's three weeks.

Maybe I'm just really beginning to enjoy archaeology.

This from a boy who hated Easter because he had to find the eggs. Yeah, because

you buried the eggs.

That's beside the point.

You're still here because of Kate.

Chris.

Look, son.

I love you.

But you're scorching my shirt.

Sorry.

You and Kate are from different worlds and you saw how that turned out between

your mother and me.

Yeah, but... Yeah, no offence.

I'm not like you.

But Kate is.

Trust me, if it's between archaeology and you, you'll lose.

Oh, sorry.

I'm sorry.

I brought you a beer.

That's so sweet of you. Half a beer, anyways.

Half a beer.

What do you got going on here? Uh, these are the stairs.

The ones you were talking about? Yeah.

Where do you figure they go? Well, you know, right now they don't go anywhere,

but one day they're going to lead me to my tunnel, which is going to go all the

way to La Roque.

Cool. What do you say I help you out?

Just show me what to do.

No, you hated this stuff. Don't worry about it. No, I don't hate it.

Let's have a beer.

I need a break.

There you go. You got a full one.

Oh, sweetie, cheers.

Cheers. Thank you. You're welcome.

So, uh, do you think you're gonna follow in your father's footsteps?

No. No.

No way.

Actually, I'm not really all that interested in the past.

No?

What are you interested in, then?

Yeah, I think I already know the answer to that question.

I've been hoping that you'd notice.

I've been hoping you'd quit hoping.

So there's nothing there.

Chris, you are the boss's son.

So there's something there.

It's late. I think I'll call it a night. I'll just start on this tomorrow, but

thanks for the beer.

Haven't been practicing, have you? Oh, well, you know, I'm not getting any

younger. But, man, do you love this stuff?

It's a habit I can't quite kick. Here, let me take that thing from you before

you cut something off you'll need later on.

So, um, now, talking about love, how'd it go last night?

I didn't.

So how does it feel being passed over for 600-year-old ruins?

It sucks.

It sucks big time.

I understand you guys. You all live in the past. What?

You know what the past is to me? What is the past to you? The past is why my

parents split up. The past is basically what I've been force-fed ever since I

was a little kid.

I mean, none of you archaeologists looks to the future. What are you talking

about? I mean, what is the future but just more of the same, you know? More

bloody gadgets, more machines like that thing you rode up on.

It's the past is where it's at.

You know, I mean, people then, they cared about each other.

The men had honor, you know? No, no, you see, you know what that is to me?

What? It's more that romantic warrior crap.

Romantic?

You want to see romantic, follow me.

Come on.

Come on!

Oh, what do you got?

Oh, wow, another stone sticking out of the ground.

Talking about stone sticking out of the ground. No, it's a 600-year-old

sarcophagus, right? With a French knight and his lady.

Look, isn't she beautiful?

She's a real knockout.

Funny. Now, look, another thing down here. They're holding hands. Now, that's

incredibly unusual for that. Yeah, that is kind of unusual, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, God, here, over here.

Now, this knight, he's only got one ear.

I mean, what happened there?

What are you talking about, one ear? He's probably just... That piece is

missing. It's probably somewhere here in the dirt or something. He's talking

about the pieces. I'm the archaeologist here, okay? It was carved that way. All

right, fair enough.

Fair enough.

So who do you think they were, anyways?

So why would somebody that doesn't give a shit be concerned with that?

Because I'm intrigued.

See? That's what you wanted to hear, huh? Yeah, absolutely.

And it's true. I mean, we're all intrigued by this.

That's why we're all here. I mean, it's not just about the rocks and the rubble.

You know, it's about these people.

Who were they?

And what were their stories?

Right. It helps us to understand where we came from.

Or where we're going.

Well, you know what I like to say, don't you? No, I know, I know. You make your

own history.

Do I say it that often?

Yeah, all the time.

Well, whoever they were, they made theirs together.

It's just to go really, really slow, but it's better to be cautious.

I've got your back. Be safe.

Who's going in first?

Who's going down first?

Okay, be careful down there

This is right below where I was working. Hey, Kate, you all right? What's going

on down there?

All right? All right is not the word.

One. Just give me some slack on the rope.

More slack!

Come on, come on, guys.

Oh, my God.

This is unbelievable.

We are the first people in this room for 600 years.

Please.

Please.

That is gonna be such a fun

Bitch would deliberately damage

Guys, we're coming up.

Pull it up. Come on. Okay.

We want to go up quick, okay? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, yes.

What are you doing, Mac?

Mac? It's okay. What are you doing?

It's definitely a modern-day bifocal lens. I know.

And bifocals weren't invented until the mid-1700s. What are you talking about?

The hole only opened up today, sir. Yeah, there's definitely been nobody

down that chamber before Kate and I. And if you think that's weird, you're going

to love this.

What is this?

It's one of the documents you found in the hall today.

It's basically just a simple list of the things that were stored in there.

Nothing special.

And then I found this. Look.

The professor.

Help me.

E.A. Johnston.

4 to 1357.

E.A. Johnston.

I cross-matched the signatures. It's definitely his handwriting.

But he's only been gone for two days. I mean, your father wrote that, but he

wrote it 600 years ago. What's going on here?

Francois is looking for a spare parent right now. I'm going to see if the

prescriptions match up as well. Okay, so you're telling me this is the

professor's and it's 600 years old. No, no, no. Wait a minute.

Sir, sir. What have you been smoking? Maybe you could explain something to me.

If I knew, I could explain it. All I know is that the ink is 600 years old.

You know what? I know.

I know.

This is my father.

This is him. He's just playing a prank. That's all this is. No, no, no.

There's no way your father would risk contaminating the site as a joke. He

just wouldn't do that. Did you carbon date the ink?

Of course I carbon dated the ink. There's got to be another reason for

this. I've said it three times. Look.

Like I just said, your father wrote that note, but he wrote it 600 years ago.

Yeah, I don't care about ITC's policies. I'm his son and I'm gonna talk to him

now. Steele! Steele!

I found the book that tells you guys' sister. What is this?

It's a perfect match. Look.

Wow. Okay, I think we should do an optical test though, right? Just to make

sure. No, hey, you know what? I'm sick of this runaround. Now, either somebody

tell me where Professor Johnson is or I'm gonna have to report a kidnapping to

the authorities.

Have I made myself clear?

All right, just tell us when and where.

What? What is it?

Doniger's sending a plane for us.

We're going to Mexico.

Let's, uh, let's make up, guys. Good morning.

I'm Stephen Kramer, ITC. Welcome to IC.

I'm Frank Gordon. How are you? I'm security.

Where's my dad? Stephen Kramer. This way, please.

State Erickson. All right.

Where's Doniger at? How's your flight?

Doniger's waiting inside. Mr.

Kramer will explain everything as we walk in. Mr. Kramer, tell me this. How

come we have 600-year-old documents with the professor's handwriting on it?

Pleading for help. I'll explain everything as soon as we get through

security.

ITC is constantly advancing itself in science. Thank you. 30 years ago, the

business world was revolutionized with the advent of a machine that could

instantly send documents anywhere in the world with the push of a button. Mr.

Doniger's vision was to do the same with three-dimensional objects.

What do you mean, like a fax or something? Exactly. Wait, wait, wait,

wait. He's trying to send actual objects from one place to another.

That's correct. Follow me, please.

Yeah, but that's also impossible.

He would need a quantum computer with millions of processors. You're right.

And we used them to build a machine that could actually fence three-dimensional

objects. I'll explain these mirrors later. I know it sounds crazy, but it

would have put FedEx and UPS out of business.

But you actually made it work?

Yes. That's got to be a dream. Across a room.

But we wanted to send things across continents, not just across a room. So

we built a bigger machine.

This is the prototype.

The prototype. So you mean that thing that we just passed?

Exactly. Is the real thing? Yes.

And we gave it a thousand times more power.

We tried to send something from our lab here in New Mexico to a twin machine at

a lab in New York City.

Now, here's the interesting part.

The package never arrived at its destination.

A few hours later, it just suddenly showed up back here.

Wait a minute. So if it went missing between New Mexico and New York, where

did it go in the meantime? We asked the same question. We didn't know.

So we sent out a camera over and over again, and we got back photos of the

same location.

A hillside with trees.

And that's when Mr. Doniger made the brilliant decision to point the camera

straight up.

So once we cross-referenced star charts to the horizon, we realized that the

camera was not only in the wrong place, but it was in the wrong time.

So what does that mean?

It means the camera was taking photographs of a wilderness near Castle

Gard, France, in the year 1357.

So what you're saying is that you accidentally discovered time travel? No,

Mr. Stern, we accidentally discovered a wormhole. A wormhole that seems to be

locked to a single time and place in the past.

1357, Castle Guard.

So what does that mean? You faxed my father's glasses and documents back to

the 14th century?

No, Chris.

Your father is in the 14th century. What?

We need you all to help get him back.

Mr. Robert Doniger, this doesn't make any sense.

A wormhole is one of the most volatile forces of the universe. You can't

possibly send a person through one. Yeah, and you can't fit a piece of paper

through a telephone wire.

But you can send a fax. Yeah, sure, once you've broken the message into a stream

of electrons, but... Oh, shit.

Now, look, personally, I don't care about the hows or the whys.

What I do care about is my father. Now...

Did he know about all this? I thought we could help each other. We give him hints

about the best excavation areas, and he could hopefully discover why we're

locked into this particular place and time.

So this is why you've been funding Othek.

He was more astute than I thought. We gave him one too many clues, and he

became suspicious.

Very, very suspicious.

How could you send him back there? God knows where he is, whether he's all

right or... Oh, he's a very persuasive man. He insisted on going.

And now he's stuck back there.

Well, that's where you all come in. Do we look like quantum wormhole

specialists? No. Mr. Leningrad, you sent the professor to the 100-year war.

That's right. These are turbulent times you've sent him to. Look, we need

cultural experts, not scientists.

My people simply don't know about the medieval world or how to mingle with the

locals, which is what we're going to have to do if we're going to find the

professor and bring him back.

So we're going to bring him back. It's that simple. We just step on that

machine out there and just...

Whiz back to 135070.

Get the professor. Only once he's broken us into a stream of electrons.

Why should we just do what you ask us? Yeah, I think we need to know a little

more before we... I know you have a lot of questions.

I know, I know. Yeah, we have a lot of questions. I don't think that we should

just... The professor's already been gone for 72 hours, and every minute we

leave him back there, it's going to be more difficult to find him.

That's true.

Well, excuse me, folks.

I need to get them to the prep room and change if they're going to go.

Frank? Yes.

Could you change with him? Oh, I'm not going. I've got Gomez and Barretto

prepping already.

Oh, good.

I really like you a lot.

We didn't say we were going.

Steve, can you bring him to prep, please?

Oh, yeah, sure. Folks, this way.

Thank you. Please, this way.

Thank you.

Just call Steve. He'll take you to prep. Thank you so much.

Bob, look.

Gomez and Barretto are my two best men. They can handle any situation.

I would prefer not going.

I really want you to go. And if you see Decker, you know what to do.

Robert, shh.

You know,

that was a really great speech you made.

I almost believed it myself.

But didn't you forget something?

What?

Look at Todd's MRIs. Look at his arteries.

And this was his tenth trip. This is their first trip. Their only trip. So

you don't think that they deserve to know that we don't even know how he

ended up in the desert? You don't think they deserve to know that?

I've told them enough.

How did my father get stuck back there anyway?

Doniger gave him an hour.

Things got harried.

I lost him in the woods.

So you left him then? Look, dude, we have a limited time. I had to come back

or we'd both be stuck.

Oh, and I guess it's better him than you, right?

All right, everybody, listen up.

There's a few things we have to go over before we leave. First of all, these

people need your vital data. It's for your return process.

Secondly, I need you to change from your clothes into those clothes over there.

Anything you want. Put your personals in the lockers over there. And lastly, I

want to introduce you to two friends of mine. Merrick, Bill Barreto, Jimmy Gomez

are coming with us. A couple of buddies of mine from the Marines served under my

command. Why do we need Marines?

Boys, I'll see you back downstairs.

Just in case something goes wrong, I like to have all my bases covered.

All right, everybody, let's change up. Let's get moving. I can't believe that

you're even considering doing this. Yeah, I'm going. Do you understand what

this machine does?

It takes you and strips you down to a molecular level, which means for a

moment you actually cease to exist. Listen to him, okay? He's got the point.

Hold on, hold on. Wait a second.

He's right.

I don't need you, Miss Erickson. I don't need you, Chris. I need you, Mr.

Merrick, because you know the layout. Hey, Gordon, nobody knows the layout

like I do. I'm going.

Yeah, and there's no way I'm not going, huh? I just said I'm not going, so don't

touch me.

Thanks.

Stan, we don't need you back there. You're a physicist.

Your knowledge won't help us. It's cool. I'm sorry.

But we are going to need you, Francois. Why do we need him?

Because he speaks French fluently, and our high school French pretty much

sucks. No, don't do this. Don't pressure him into this. I'll cover your back,

okay? Don't pressure him.

Francois, you have to make your own decision on this.

Your father would have done it for me.

So yes, I'll go.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Beer is a lot, Mr. Donegal.

Tell Gordon we gotta get going.

Keep a couple beers cold for me, alright?

Mr. Stern.

Watch your backs, okay?

Be alright, Jack.

We'll be back before you know it.

Take it easy, bro.

Yeah, I'm at 50 bucks. How are you?

All right, people, let's move it.

Frank, six hours and the clock is running. Thanks, Steven.

These are your personal markers. Wear them around your neck. You can use any

one of them to call for your return at any time. Frank will explain the

intricacies of how they work once you arrive.

Most importantly, one marker will bring all of you back.

Do not lose them.

What about protection? Weapons?

Nothing modern goes bad, especially weapons.

The markers are set for a six-hour countdown.

What do you mean, countdown?

In other words, they burn out after six hours. And then?

Don't worry, Francois.

I'll get you back before you know it. Oh.

Sorry, Francois. They didn't have these back then. Oh, no, no. You know, I don't

see what that means.

You'll be fine. That's where we goofed up with the professor.

I feel morally compelled to inform you that there is apparently a degree of

pain. I'm told it's rather intense, but extremely fleeting.

A couple of seconds.

No residual discomfort.

So, uh, forgive me. I didn't want that to influence your decision.

Okay.

Good luck.

Let's do it.

You all look great, by the way. Mr. Erickson, you look divine.

Good luck.

Don't worry about it. Chris, you're gonna find him. You guys will be home

for lunch. All right, here we go.

Everybody be careful. This is a fantastic take for an archaeologist.

All right, everybody, slowly.

There are no railings.

Josh, come on down.

Come watch. Take a place around the perimeter.

Everybody spread out. What are we doing?

Take a deep breath. Relax into this. We'll be back before you know it.

How are we set?

Come in, Josh. Close the door.

Good luck.

Mr. Merrick, I need you to take a position.

How's everybody doing?

How are we doing?

We're getting a chance of a lifetime.

Listen, there's nothing to worry about. We're here to take care of you, all

right? Just relax.

Everything will be fine.

DNA screens locked in.

Thank you.

Okay.

Locking in.

Locking in.

How long did that take?

A couple of seconds.

Watch it here.

Air is locked.

All right, let's head up this hill. Come on, everybody follow me up.

Elvis, stop.

We've always arrived at land.

Gordon, is this it?

Yeah, I think so. Is it? You think so? Are we in 1357 France? Or, I mean, this

could be my grandparents' house in Oregon. Gordon, wait, are we? Shut up.

Trust me, we're in 1357 France.

Well, if this is France, I'm home.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, let me explain the marker, see?

Press your thumbnail in here. It shows the remaining time.

Squeeze it and it takes you home, but don't squeeze it. Why?

Because we haven't found his dad yet.

One last thing.

He said hide.

All right, everybody, take cover. Let's go.

First watch. Come on.

Yes, my lord. Get the others. Find out who they are. Yes, sir.

up here what was that what was that what what is that

a grenade

Chris! Hey!

Merrick! Hey, where's my boys?

Where's Merrick?

He's gone. He pressed his marker. He's gone.

He's gone.

He must have hit his marker because he disappeared.

Where's Gomez?

I didn't see him. What?

Oh, my God.

Don't look.

What are you doing?

Oh, shit.

I can't find his marker.

Because you need 40 feet of clearance around all sides to make that work All

right Now look don't lose these markers. They're very precious now, and if you

follow my lead I will get your dad and I'll get you home. I promise okay?

Okay, okay, let's find Merrick. Let's go

you gotta go look at me

Try to pick it up again. Yes, Sergeant Kerr.

Search down by the river.

not to take anything modern back. That son of a bitch brought a grenade back

with him.

I can't believe it.

The coils, the coils.

Dammit, he knew the regulations. No modern weapons.

Well,

smoker.

What happened to the rest of them?

I don't know.

Give me your gloves.

Well, did anyone try to come back with him?

I don't know I know as much as you, okay? Hang on. What if they're trying to

come back right now?

It's obviously not going to happen with this. Let's not jump to conclusions.

Kramer! But you can't leave seven people stuck back there. Just tell me you have

a backup plan.

Shut up!

I don't know.

I don't know.

Please tell me you have a backup plan.

Yes,

we have a backup plan.

That strange woman will lead us to Castle Guard. Great. That's great. Let's

go. Come on. Let's go.

Alice. Alice.

Wow.

The village of Castle Guard.

We're here.

Where is everyone going?

Hold on a second.

What day is this?

Mel. Mike.

It's the 4th of April.

Of course it is. It's April 4th.

1357.

The day the rope falls? Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about?

You son of a bitch, Gordon.

Excuse me?

You brought us back on the day the French attack.

By tonight, this whole place is going to be burned to the ground. Well, pal, then

I suggest you stop with the history lessons and start looking for the

professor. I'll follow me.

Let's go.

I'm a physicist.

Give me something to do. I can help. You might as well be a pharmacist for all

the use you are.

Good one, Robert. Replace the panels around the way down. Great. How long is

this going to take?

Five hours and 27 minutes.

How the hell do you know it's only going to take five hours and 27 minutes?

That's all the time we have.

Once this platform is fixed, even if the markers have run out, we can still send

someone else back to get them, right?

Josh, the only thing holding the wormhole open is their markers.

Yeah, but you've opened and closed this wormhole dozens of times before. Once

the platform is... Look, look, look. We don't even know what we did to link us

to this particular wormhole.

Okay, it could have been a lucky calibration of chance impurity in the

coils. The point is the grenade probably destroyed any possibility we have of

recreating them. So are you saying that once their markers expire, they could be

stuck there forever? Is that what you're saying?

They could be.

Look at that. I can't believe it. We were just working wages.

That's Castle Galdor, right?

It's different. It's totally different. I mean, that right section, I had

totally wrong.

Where did that tower come from? Look, my dad's in there.

Yeah, you're right. How are we going to get in?

Guys, soldiers coming.

You there!

What? What?

Stop!

Go, go, go!

We captured them in the village, my lord.

I'm Lord Oliver.

Who speaks for you?

I do, my lord.

You speak strangely.

Yes, we are Scottish, my lord.

Scottish?

You've come to kill us all in our beds, eh?

And now this group.

Why do the Scottish suddenly find this village so pleasing? It must be your

lord's kind manners, my lord. Indeed it must. My lady.

I beg your pardon, my lord.

Let him speak.

My lord, the old man you spoke of. Edward de Johns.

He claims he is a magister.

Do you know of him?

He's our master, sir.

All is well with him.

He said he was alone.

We were several days behind them.

He does not know we are here.

Who are you?

Yes, you. The one whose head is touching the ceiling.

François Malone.

Frenchman?

Oh, please, please.

We're all gentlemen here.

He's our interpreter, sir.

Forgive them.

I'm at war with the French, as well as the Scottish.

Have I forgotten anyone? The Spaniards? Am I at war with them?

I know I sent many spies into my midst.

No, he's not a spy.

No?

He's our friend. I'm sure he is.

He's too tall to be a spy, anyway.

Ah, je suis un espion.

Interpret.

Be quiet.

Je suis un espion.

Interpret.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that.

It means be quiet.

I am a spy.

My God, it's a miracle. A quiet Frenchman. Did you hear that?

Louder, boy! Come on!

I am a spy.

Ah.

I thought so.

Oh, my God.

Get rid of the Frenchman. Put the others with the old man. We may need them

later. Who's next?

Over here, Andre, this way.

My

marker.

Guys, I lost my marker.

Don't worry.

We only need one marker to get home, okay? This can't be happening. Careful

with the rest, okay?

Professor. Kid?

Yeah. Kid?

Oh, my God. Are you all right?

Oh, my God. Chris, you're dead.

Chris is here, and Merrick's here. Dead?

Son. Dead. Chris, my son. I'm glad you're still alive.

Oh, God.

What happened?

You've lost such blood.

It's not my blood.

It's French fries.

He's dead.

Oliver had him killed because he's French.

This guy had a sword and he just ripped it.

All right.

Professor, what happened?

I was trying to avoid the English, but they found me in the monastery.

I managed to convince Oliver I was a magister on my way to Dublin.

All right, I skipped Shakespeare. What the hell's a magister?

He's a scientist.

He accused me of being a spy.

How did you survive that?

I promised Oliver a new weapon.

Weapon? What kind of weapon?

A liquid fire so intense that even water couldn't harm it.

Greek fire. You... You promised him Greek fire?

I'm sorry. Have you considered what you may have done here?

You've just given the...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The point is, when these guys come here and

take us up to the rogue, when they see that place off for battle, there's no

escape. We're as good as dead.

No.

No, we've got to get out of here now. Wait, wait, wait. Remember that field

where the peasant huts were?

Right? Yeah. Okay.

That's the closest place with enough room to use the marker, right? The

problem is, how the hell do we get there? Well, if we do, we're going to

have to do it fast. We've got four hours.

Four hours is plenty.

The way I see it, we've got, what, we've got 650 years of knowledge on these

guys? If we put our heads together, there's no reason why we shouldn't be

able to get out of here and home in 20 minutes.

Okay, let's go. Let's find a way. Come on, let's find a way.

Hey, guys, there's a hole here big enough to climb through.

Quiet!

I'm okay, all right.

She was with the group that called her here, my lord.

May I ask why you're trespassing on my land?

Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna scale down the wall.

And then when it's clear, I'm going to let you guys out.

Are you all right? No, you're not. You're not going anywhere.

What? I'm the best climber. I am the best climber. She's right. If anybody

should be going, it should be me. But those roof slats won't hold me or you or

you, Chris. That is right.

It might hold you, Kate.

Kate, this isn't a game.

Are you prepared to take a life?

I'll do what I have to do.

No, there's no way.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's gonna be all right, okay?

There's one thing worse than dying here, and that's living here.

I refuse to do either.

I'm going. It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Please, please take care of me. Hey, it's easy.

It's gonna be easy.

All right.

Hey, Chris, I... Chris, I need your help. Come on. Come on.

Okay, just hold that back.

Keep it open.

Kate, be careful.

Okay, here I go.

Let me see.

There's cars down there. I'm gonna go up and over, okay? There's a window on the

other side. Okay, Kate, watch yourself.

I got you. Hold on.

Hold on.

I got you. Don't let go.

You okay?

I gotta put a hold. We're gonna pull you back in through the roof. No, I'm good.

Okay. Please be careful. Gotta keep going.

Keep on quiet!

We're ending up the way we came in, all right?

Merrick?

Merrick! Yeah, yeah. You go ahead. I'll take the rail.

All right, let's go!

You guys, go ahead.

Okay, I'll catch up with you. Listen to me, Chris. Come on, let's go.

I'll go to the market. I'll catch up with you.

Come on.

Where is he? He's going to catch up with us. What? No. He's got his marker.

Robert.

Yeah?

DNA streaming should be online now.

Got it.

Fully functioning?

Yep. It's a start.

Don't move. Don't say a word. Traitor!

Disgustman! Stop! It's me! Stop!

What

are

you saying?

Who's that guy?

His name is De Gea.

Come on, come on, come on.

Let's head back to the river.

Get more guards.

Gordon, we're not going without Merrick. I don't give a shit about Merrick. My

job was to get the professor. I got the professor. I can't keep taking care of

these people. All right, let's go, miss.

Beretto, you guys are on your own, all right? Or you follow me. Let's go.

Robert, we have a fuel buck. Somebody's trying to come back.

How strong?

It's minimal.

What does that mean?

These are still alive.

There he is. There he is.

Come on.

Wait, watch it, watch it. Chris, help me win.

Okay.

Shit.

Come on, please, come on. Leave us the Olympics. What?

Leave us the Olympics.

There's no time.

There's no time.

Listen.

Can you hit your marker?

No, you press yours. I'm not going without Marek. I'm not going without

Marek. I'm not going anywhere with him.

Marek's got his own marker.

Kate,

press it. We can come back for Marek. Let's press it. We'll be here too long.

Kate, press your marker.

It's not working.

It's not working.

Why isn't it working? I don't know, because if it were working... We'd be

fucking home right now. Get out of here. Shut up. Everybody, walk away.

Let's find a place to hide.

Oh, by the way, my name's Andre Marek.

Castleground was your village, wasn't it?

Don't worry.

You'll return there soon.

No.

The English will burn it to the ground before they move to La Roque.

No, no.

La Roque will fall too.

Yes, but it will take many more lives and many months of fighting before it

happens.

The French built that fortress. We know how strong it is.

The rope will fall tonight.

Only a prophet or a fool could make such a claim.

In your case, it's probably the fool.

How much ever makes you smile like that?

Are you, uh, invited?

No.

We've been fighting in English since before I was born.

There's no time for marriage.

Of course.

Are you, uh, with anyone?

Am I with anyone?

Yeah.

I'm with you.

I know, I know. What I mean is, is there... Is there someone... Is there

someone that you see?

Do I see?

No,

but it... It is possible they are hiding on the shore or in the woods. They could

be anywhere.

You know, it's funny, but... We're speaking the same language, but...

You don't understand anything I'm saying, do you?

Lady Claire. I like that.

It's charming.

I killed that man.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Claire, Claire, my sister.

I've been looking for you for a week.

Where have you been?

I'm fine.

Who is this man?

He saved my life.

His name is André Marek.

I'm Arnaud.

Thank you for saving my sister's life. He says he is very grateful to you.

You're English. No, no, no, I'm not English.

I'm Scottish.

Arnaud, he saved the life of one of your men.

You're Scottish, huh?

Yes.

In that case, I do not know how to express my gratitude.

Oh, you can.

Just keep her close and keep her safe.

I can take care of myself.

Yes, that's obvious.

Please, do not let her out of your sight, especially tonight.

Do not worry. She will be well protected.

I must leave. I must return to Castleguard to search for my friends.

I need to ask you perhaps for a horse and a weapon.

You will not make it back alive through the English lines.

They are moving from the village to Castle La Roque. We attack tonight.

No, Marek, you must not go back there. I must at least try and find my friends.

Sorry.

Very well.

I will give you what you asked for.

Thank you again.

Thank you.

Lady Claire.

Claire.

I wish we'd met at another table.

André Merrick.

Are you married?

Arnaud is dismounted, and he's with his sister.

Well done.

In fast, kill Arnaud, and out.

And may God be with you.

All right.

I have to get inside the rope and find my dad. You'll never make it through

their defenses. Yeah, well, I'll find a way. There is no way you'll get killed.

I have a choice.

Yes, you do.

There's another way.

What, the tunnel? Yeah.

Kate, you never found it. You don't even know if it exists. There's always been a

rumor. Yeah, but that's a rumor.

And my dad's life's on the line. All of our lives are on the line.

Look, if that tunnel ever existed, it's going to exist now, 1357. I know it's in

that monastery.

You don't want to talk about us, don't you?

Come on, lads.

It's Marek!

Marek!

Marek! I'm okay.

It's Chris and Kate. Marek!

What about Chris and Kate?

They didn't make it.

They've killed them.

Been a while, hasn't it, Frank?

Oh, my God.

I thought you were dead.

Right. That's why you sent Taub to assassinate me. No, no, not to

assassinate. To bring you home. To bring you back.

Right. Just like you are. No, no. Look, listen.

Listen to me, Bill. I need your help to... What's this?

Look, look, it's not working anyway.

It says here you got less than one and a half hours left.

It doesn't work.

Bullshit. Look, look, look, look. You gotta believe me. It wasn't my fault,

okay?

I've got a family. Yeah? You've been my family. You've been to my house.

You have a family.

I've got a family.

So did I!

No! No!

No! No!

Oh, shit!

Oh, my God!

Last time I saw him, he was running like hell with his marker for an open

space. I was on the ground, three arrows in me.

I used to be William Decker, ITC employee number 273. Now, I'm Sir

William Decker, Lord Oliver's aide-de-camp.

You look pretty impressive today, Merrick, for an academic.

How do you know my name?

I know all of your names.

We read every report that came out of your dig before we made the first trip

back. How many times have you been here?

Enough to know transcription errors, innately.

Transcription errors?

Donegan. That son of a bitch. He hasn't told you a thing, has he?

What the hell are transcription errors?

Mistakes in the DNA reconstruction process.

It's like faxing a fax.

Distortions. Mistakes.

Only the distortions aren't in the letters.

It's body parts.

The organs.

I've gone in too many times. I'll never survive another trip.

Oh, that damage.

It can be repaired, but not here.

And not in this time.

You'd have to go back.

Why don't you press the marker and we can all go home, Decker, huh?

My name is Decker.

This is my home.

Lord Oliver awaits his brief fire. After that, your survival depends on your

knowledge of history. How good you make me look. I rise in favor. So do you. I

fall. You fool.

All right.

Where's your marker?

He took it off me. Oh, my God.

We're friends of Edward de Jones.

Edward de Jones.

The Magister?

He's my father.

The English, did they have armed him?

We don't know. We were going to ask for your help.

Yeah, we need your help.

We need

to

hurry. We don't have much time.

Lord Oliver demands a demonstration before nightfall.

It would be best not to miss the deadline.

They've done it.

The stuff's all there. The stuff's a bit coarse, but it's good.

What am I talking about? I can't do this.

I can't give these people Greek fire and influence the course of history.

I may already have done that, Prof.

What do you mean?

When we first arrived back here, we were helped by this girl who took us up to

Castleguard. In fact, that's who I went back to get when we escaped.

Well, that girl turned out to be Lady Clare, Arno's sister.

Are you serious?

Yeah. And I've now delivered her to the French for safekeeping. She's incredibly

important. Her death rallies the French to win the battle. Don't you understand?

Now we have to be on all of her side just to stay alive.

This is exactly where I was digging.

This is it. This is the place where we're here.

What do you mean?

Those are the stairs. It's under here.

There is a goodly number of trebuchets, my lord.

What a little fire to these stone walls.

There's nothing down here.

This is it.

This is the chamber.

This is where the whole was. We came down here. That means that Mark would

have been working there.

That means that the box would have been... Oh, my God, that's the... That

is the box. It's the parchment he wrote on it.

The father's glasses.

Yeah, we got to go.

In the future, we're never gonna find your father and put him back.

We still gotta go.

We gotta get up to the road back.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no,

no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

It's a

tunnel.

Give me a torch.

Hey, give me that one.

Kate, watch out. Let me go in.

Vous allez chercher Arnaud.

Get Arnaud.

Yes, get Arnaud. Go.

Please. Hurry, hurry. Kate, get in here.

Oh, well.

You got it?

Yeah, I do.

Careful, boys. This is Greek fire. You could blow us all to hell here.

Smooth and easy now. No spills.

That's good.

Over here in front of me, it's Ravishay!

Yes, yes, I'll see it now. You have to understand, my lord, I've never... Show

me! Now!

Show him!

You're fired.

Of the Greeks.

So, you betrayed me. You promised me Greek fire, and this is all I get. Lord

Oliver. I should have had you hung for what?

Lord Oliver, with your permission, my lord.

The more water, the more fire.

Good.

Better.

My God, you are a magician, not a magister.

I want this for every cannon. How many men will you need?

Twenty. Twenty?

Give this man twenty men immediately.

As you wish, my lord. This way, magician.

Arches to the battlements!

81%. We have 81%. No, no, no.

It's over.

I'm not going to play around with our lives like this.

We can't get 100% efficiency from patched together coils.

Well, what's the safest minimum percent? We've done successful tests at 80%. You

just said we have 81%. They were inanimate objects, Kramer. We could

reflect those up. I mean, come on. How much time do we have?

28 minutes. 81% leaves no room for error. Can we do it? They can come back

to form. Yes, we can. It's too risky. What?

You think I'm going to let you leave them there? Do you think I want to?

I don't think you can. At least back there they have a chance. They have some

kind of life. No.

You lost the chance for that decision a long time ago. This is no longer your

decision to make. You know what? It is and I have.

I'm sorry.

Fire the moat. Yes, my lord.

Fire the moat!

Flash!

Where are you?

Richard, come here!

Sir, I need a battalion of horsemen and all the best archers.

I follow you, my brothers.

Maybe maybe we missed something me.

Maybe we made a wrong turn we could I

Said

trust me and I've let you down And I've let your

father down

I've let everybody in.

No.

Oh God, I'm so sorry.

Jake, come here.

Jake, come here.

Come here.

Desha, get ready for battle.

Emo, signal, attack.

Yes, sir.

Gulgar, do you have a torch?

Travusha!

Close the inner gate!

Close the inner gate!

I'm beginning to find this rather tiresome. The courtyard is secure, my

lord. Good. But this Frenchman needs to be put in his place.

It's time.

Captain!

It is time!

13 minutes left.

Let's try and get them back. Are we going to go over all this again?

What are you doing?

What the hell do you think I'm doing?

I'm protecting our interests.

What's happened to you?

How many lives have been lost on the cutting edge of discovery?

It's the price we pay for greater... Because we're not after...

is they're gonna twist it around and label this a death machine. It has a

serious flaw, Robert. Yeah, I know, and you'll fix it. No, I won't. You'll fix

it like you fixed everything else.

No.

What?

No. You won't? No, I won't.

I can't believe you just throw away your place in history.

I already have. We're cycling out. You think you can just go behind my back?

Huh?

Kramer!

Kramer?

What is it?

Either he lays down his arms, or he kills you with his own weapons.

Let us hope a man who stoops to using his own sister as a spy still has some

sense of decency left.

God be with you, lady.

It's her.

It's Lady Clare.

But I just delivered her to Arno for safekeeping. How did the English get

her? It's history.

And history will change.

All aboard!

Release Lady Clare!

Bring it down to me now, or by God, I will destroy your arsenal.

No!

Get the hell out of here. Go on, now!

Hold!

For God's sake! If that thing blows, it'll kill us all. Bring her down!

No! Do not touch her!

My lord,

he drops the torch. He then kills her, too. He will not do it. Like off,

Dickie, or Decker, or whatever your name is.

I will blow your arsenal to hell!

Where is the tea?

There's no way out.

You're English. No. You're English. No, no, no. This is a trap.

Run, Malone.

No.

You are working for Oliver. No, no.

I will kill both of you.

We gotta find the others.

Because now...

This is for France!

even after lady claire there

It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. Well, it's broken.

Okay.

I gotta get back.

I gotta get back. I can't do this.

All right, you guys.

You gotta go out. Run out to the field right now. No, Kate.

You run to the center of the field and you wait for us there.

I'm gonna run over there and get the other marker. Dad, go with her. Go now.

Listen to me. Be careful. I will. Go.

Over here.

Merrick!

Merrick! Merrick!

Merrick!

Chris, I thought you were dead.

Get the marker. Let's go.

You can't.

You can't. That's yours.

Open this door.

Where's Kramer?

I am home, Chris.

Chris, let's go.

Say goodbye for me.

I'm gonna miss you, Merrick.

Well, if you can do it, then do it. Just one more minute. Eighty-one percent,

okay?

What's he doing? He's heading for the coils.

Come on!

This is good here.

Bravo! Look at this!

Wait!

Wait!

You stay!

You stay!

I don't have a marker.

Where's Merrick?

And Francois?

Hey, Dad.

Yeah? Hey.

Kate just called from the monastery, Diggs. She finished the excavation on

the sarcophagus and she wants us there right away.

Want to drive? Yeah, I'll drive.

If Marek had come home with us, what would be written here?

Oh, my God.

Andre Marek.

Avec sa femme bien amicale.

With his beloved wife, Claire.

Oh, my God.

Loving parents of Catherine, Christophe, and

François, dear François.

To my friends who survived me,

I have chosen a wonderful life.

Died 1382.

Or 1971.

They made their own history.

Together.

you
