Intro music

Ominous music

sapphire gasps

music stops

Aha! Found you. Anyone
else in there with you?

Ominous music oh, silly.

Screams

'All irregularities
will be handled

'by the forces controlling
each dimension.'

'transuranic heavy elements
may not be used when there is life.'

'medium atomic
weights are available.'

'gold, lead,

'copper.

'Jet,

'diamond,

'radium, sapphire,

'silver and steel.

'Sapphire and steel
have been assigned.'

screams

thunder rumbles

Annabelle?

Annabelle? Howard!

What on earth are you doing? Oh!

What the devil's going on?

Thud

oh, my god. Oh, come along,
Veronica, you're spoiling it all.

We weren't going to play
murders till after dinner.

She's not playing,
is she, Arthur?

Dramatic music

no.

No, she's not playing.

The girl's dead. Gasps

door opens

mentally: 'Did
"it" kill Veronica?'

'or did someone
in this house do it?'

sapphire: 'It could
be one and the same.'

door closes

who would have
done such a thing?

Almost anyone.

Almost anyone in
this house, Emma.

Poor, poor, lovely girl.

Felix, ring for the
police, will you?

Greville...

Get something to cover the body.

Thunder roars

That storm's come out of nowhere.
Sapphire: There's somebody missing.

No, I don't think so.

Tony purnell, someone
should tell him.

Maybe he already knows.

Everyone is gonna
have to remember

just exactly where they were
and what they were doing.

When?

Within the last... Ten minutes?

Yes. Within the last...

Ten minutes.

I can't even remember
what happened yesterday.

I can't even
remember coming here.

But, I... Get on with it, man.

The knife, sir. What about it?

It's one of ours. One
of our carving knives.

I laid it in the dining room
earlier this evening, sir.

That would make it
accessible to anyone.

Cover the poor girl.
And then there were nine.

What's she rambling
on about? Arthur.

Did you know that there were
ten of us here when we started?

Well, I didn't really
check, but... You.

Me.

Emma.

And... Mentally: 'Quick,
what's my name?'

sapphire: 'Miles.' Miles.

Thank you.

Howard.

Virginia.

Annabelle.

And...

Felix. Yes?

Veronica blamey. That's nine.

And Tony purnell makes ten.

Wherever he is.

Did you get the police,
Felix? No, I couldn't.

Why not? The telephone's dead.

Thunder rumbles telephone, dead?

Steel: Oh, now
that's significant.

Why is it significant?
A dead telephone?

Because it means
this house is cut off

from the rest of the country.

It's all part of the device.

This is not a damn
story. This is real.

Is it?

Thunder cracks

Anyway, we're not cut off.

Storm is affecting the
telephone, that's all. Felix!

Be a good chap, will you? Get into
your car, nip down to the village...

I'm sorry, my dear chap,
but I haven't got a car.

We can arrange that.
Greville! Annabelle and I...

All I want to do is find a
constable and let him know...

My dear fellow, I would
go, but I didn't bring a car.

Greville will take you.
Mr harborough, sir.

And now the rest of us had
better start looking for purnell.

Felicity: Howard,
I'm going upstairs.

The doors locked!
It's impossible, sir.

Fog!

It's icy cold.

It won't open, sir.

Don't be so stupid,
greville, of course it'll open.

You're right. It won't.

The window.

Howard, smash the window.

Supernatural noise

silence, chair
pieces fall to floor

Mentally: 'It has completely
isolated this house.'

'there's no way out?'

'no conventional way out, no.'

'Which one of them, sapphire?'

'which one of them killed her?'

'which one of them
does it control?'

'maybe it's one and the same.'

hello?

Hello, operator?

Hello?

Sighs

Oh, it's you.

The phone's dead...
Supernatural noise

Ominous music

steel: It is a time
change, most likely.

And there's a logical
reason for using this house.

It says here that
it's on a ley-line.

The line runs right across
this part of the country

and directly
through this building.

Mm, it's a perfect place
for turning the clock back.

And it's using the summer
solstice, the perfect time.

Have you any
idea who it's using?

Nothing definite.

I need to get closer
to make contact.

Well, then make contact.

Steel, I need something
tangible, something concrete.

Tony purnell's champagne glass.

It's his last physical
contact since the girl's death.

No one has touched
it since he put it down.

You can start there.

Mentally: 'Anthony purnell.'

'son of a merchant banker.'

'fast cars.

'Expensive clothes.'

'money.'

'women.'

sighs

'it's that barrier
again, steel.'

'break through it.'

'Tony purnell...'

'he was here only
a few days ago.

'June 18th.' 'This year?'

'who did he come
to see? Mullrine?'

'no. No, he was in London.

'Purnell came to see
someone else in this house.'

'mullrine's secretary!'

'purnell came to
see...' 'Anne Shaw.'

'in mullrine's office, here.
Behind that green door.'

'they're kissing.'

'no.

'No, she's angry with him.

'She knows about
Veronica blamey.'

'she's jealous.'

'He tells her not to worry.

'He says Veronica
will not be a threat.'

'he says he can
easily get rid of her.'

Smashes

gunshot

purnell. Where?

I don't know,
somewhere in the house.

A gunshot, I think.

When?

Soon.

What on earth?

Sir. What is it, greville?

There is no sign of mr purnell
at the back of the house, sir.

No sign at all? None of
the servants have seen him.

Well, that can't be possible.

I mean, the man can't just
disappear into the air, can he?

..Darling, please
try to grow up.

Did you find anything?

Nothing. His room's a shambles.

He's not there. I can't
find him anywhere.

Well, he can't get out.
Sapphire: That's right.

No one can get out.

Now, look here...

I want to know what
the devil's going on.

For starters, I want to
know who you two are.

I beg your pardon?
We were invited.

We're not gate-crashers.

You're not answering the question.
Yes, who are you? I don't remem...

..Remember.

I doubt if any of you
can remember very much.

What are you talking about?
A tear in the fabric of time.

I read somewhere that the inability
to remember is one of the symptoms.

I'm awfully sorry, but you're
not making any sense at all.

I can remember perfectly.
Can you, sir? Yes.

Where were you, lord mullrine,
three days ago, on June 18th?

Here.

No. Well, I must have been
in London then. Correct.

And what were you doing in London?
What I always do, business. Go on.

In the afternoon, I went to
my club, the Denver, for lunch.

And in the evening,
I went to the theatre,

the knightsbridge tivoli,
to see... Impossible.

Are you calling me a liar?

With all respect,
sir, it is impossible

for you to have done either
of those things three days ago.

The knightsbridge tivoli closed
its doors for the last time in 1934,

and the Denver was, I
believe, blitzed in 1941.

You see?

It's some sort of
conjuring trick. Is it?

Where were you
yesterday, mr harborough?

Where did you have lunch
today, mrs harborough?

What is the registration
number of your car, mr mcdee?

Can't remember?

No? Well, what
kind of a car is it?

What make, mr
mcdee? Well, it's a...

Oh, no!

Oh, yes.

By now, I would
venture to say that

none of us can remember arriving at
this house tonight, nor why we came.

Come and sit down, miles.

Thank you.

Now, it is impossible to know what
is happening outside this house.

Assuming that there is
an outside... Thunder roars

The clock is moving backwards.

For the moment,
there is no past...

..And no future.

There was a murder,
I remember that.

Was there? All talking

well, of course there was, I
found the body, don't be so stupid.

Then let us refresh
our memories.

If greville would be kind
enough... Of course, sir.

..To remove the sheet from
the body. Oh, no, please!

Now, look here,
that's obscene. Sir?

Yes, go ahead.

Ominous music

..Changing, bodies
disappearing...

There's no logic to it,
and that's what I don't like!

Well, you cannot rely
on... The girl was murdered!

There was a knife
sticking out of her back.

She couldn't have put it there.

And now she's gone and
Tony purnell's disappeared.

There is a logic to it
somewhere... Rubbish!

..If we can find it.

Listen, my memory's
gone completely.

I can't think where I had lunch
today, I simply can't remember.

I can't even
remember my own car.

There's no logic
and no sense to it.

No, no, no, no,
there is a sense to it.

You see, lord mullrine
provided the setting -

a party.

A celebration back in 1930.

Everything authentic.

And set in a house that sits
astride an ancient ley-line.

Miles, what
exactly is a ley-line?

It's a line of increased magnetic
activity on the earth's surface.

I believe birds
navigate by them.

And then there's the
date. The summer solstice.

No, it's... It's all
very significant.

June 21st, 1930.

Felicity: That's today!

Yes, today, but... 50 years ago.

What was he doing, and
what was he working on?

Why don't you ask
yourself? He's here.

You can't interrupt him while he's
in his laboratory. This is absurd!

No, you can't disturb him, Felix,
no! Don't you dare go in there.

You can't get in any way.

Tony purnell may be in there.
Nobody's looked, have they?

We are talking about
George mcdee, about his work.

George never
talks about his work.

At least not until the project
he's working on is finished.

You must have some idea?

Yes, it's a medicine of
some sort, I think. Medicine?

Yes, he's in there messing
about with genetics.

You know, biology
and all that stuff.

Hm, have you ever heard
anything so ludicrous?

Mentally: 'Genetic engineering.'
'Serum biology.' 'Yes.'

anyway, someone at the ministry
has swallowed the idea, evidently.

It's all very secret. Hush-hush.
A medicine, for which disease?

To hear him talk, all of them.

Hm, he's nattering on about
giving it to the whole population.

Ha-ha-ha, George!

'What was he doing, sapphire?
What was he working on?'

'he...

'He's almost succeeded.'

'he's very close.'

'he's broken the genetic code.'

'he's replacing...

'No, he's manipulating the
genetic characteristics of a virus.'

'it will save
thousands of lives.'

'one more day, steel. One
more day and he will succeed.'

'to save lives? Then why
should "it" keep him alive?'

'because he's careless, steel.'

'he will cause the
extinction of life

'on this planet by
his carelessness.'

'so, on June 21st, 1930,
this planet faces extinction?

'Unless...' on June
22nd, George mcdee dies.

No! What are you saying?

That's tomorrow!

How do you know my
grandfather dies tomorrow?

Because he has to. If you're so
clever, mr cavendish, at what time?

Emma: Arthur...

We've got a little
bit of a problem.

Oh, god, a little bit of a problem,
says Emma. It's about dinner.

Greville's getting
quite anxious.

Dinner? Who the devil can
think about dinner, Emma?

Well, somebody has to.

We've got jugged hare and
all sorts of lovely other things.

The kitchen staff went to a great
deal of trouble. Is nobody hungry?

Somebody gasping

mr purnell, sir, they've
been looking for you.

Yes, I know.

You all right, sir? No, I'm not.

S-Someone, or
something, tried to kill me!

I'll tell lord mullrine, sir.

No! Mutters

tell cavendish. Tell him I'm in
here, tell him I must speak to him.

Yes, sir. No one else,
greville, no one else.

Just as you say, sir.

Why don't you sit down, sir?

What is so significant
about 1930?

What happened in this
house 50 years ago?

If we find out who
it is, then we'll know.

Come on, let's try
George mcdee again.

Aye, he must have had this in
his hands at some time or other.

You're asking for a manifestation?
Yes, published in 1922.

Well, it's too difficult.

It's a very long time ago
and it's too dangerous.

Give it a try.

Yes, he was in this room
sometime during that day.

But I can't tell when.

Sapphire.

Door creaks

mr mcdee? Voice
of mr mcdee: Yes.

Chair scrapes across
floor what do you want?

To talk.

Well, I've no time for
that, I've work to do.

Who are you, anyway,
one of Arthur's flapper set?

Not exactly.

All right, well, you'd
better get back out there.

I'm sure Emma's
about to organise

one of those duff
party games of hers.

Sardines, I shouldn't wonder.

Well, we've already played that.

Aye, well, I've no time
for idle chatter, young man.

What do you know of
deoxyribonucleic acid, mr mcdee?

What?!

The transference of
coded genetic material.

Cloning bacteria, encouraging
them to produce your vaccine.

How do you know about that?

Has Arthur been
blathering again?

Do you know the danger
involved? There is no danger!

The only real danger is
to the millions who may die

without my vaccine.

Such laboratory procedures
must be carefully controlled.

They are carefully controlled!

Bacteria can escape
from the laboratory.

It couldn't happen.
You cannot be certain.

Even if it did,
they'd be killed off.

They could never withstand
the change in temperature,

for one thing.

Ah, but is it not possible
for a strain of bacteria,

not only to withstand the
change in temperature,

but also to become immune,
and therefore highly lethal?

Are you a scientist?

I can tell you what will happen

if you don't call a halt
to your work right now.

Who put you up to this? Are
you one of Alec Fleming's lot?

Others will come later,

they will find a means to control
and use genetic engineering.

I sincerely hope so. You
don't have the facilities yet!

I've lost him!

Of course I have the
facilities! I've lost him.

I've been working on this theorem
for six years. How dare you?!

Mr cavendish! I'm sorry,
sir, madam, did I disturb you?

Yes, I'm afraid
you did, greville.

Uh, it's mr purnell,
sir. You found him?

He-he-he's in the dining room,
sir, he didn't really appear to be lost.

Somewhat dishevelled, though.

He said that he
wanted to see you, sir.

Sapphire mentally: 'Don't
go.' Of course, greville.

Uh, nobody else. Certainly.

Mr purnell led me to believe
that it was, uh, rather urgent, sir.

Don't go, steel.
Don't go in there.

What is it? Listen.

Gunshot

you told me.

You forgot.

That was a gunshot,
sir! Yes, it was.

From inside the dining room.

Don't be silly, nobody
takes guns into dining rooms.

Emma, stop your prattling!
It might be Tony in there.

Where are the others,
Howard and Felix?

Felix went upstairs to get
some cigarettes. And I thought...

Howard was in the
library. No, he isn't.

Well, for god's sake,
let's get in there.

Dramatic music

Tony!

And then there were eight.

Suicide. The gun is
well out of his reach.

He killed the girl
then shot himself.

Stands to reason. There's
no reason for any of this!

Oh, yes, there's a
reason for all of it.

The time change, the murders,
the barrier around this house.

It's just very difficult
for miles to pinpoint.

If you don't pinpoint it
quickly, there won't be any of us

left to care... Echoing: Care.
