- I can't hear a word the man's saying.

- Why isn't it working?

- Something's jamming the signal.

- Electromagnetic distortion. Isn't it?

- Absolutely right. The question is, how and why?

- Nothing but bills for you, I'm afraid. - Hmm.

- But, more excitingly,

look what arrived for you three.

- Are they from our mum and dad?

- Mm-hm.

- They're in Egypt. They've been riding camels!

And they took a cruise down the Nile.

- And they met King Farouk. He sacked his entire cabinet.

- Says here they'll be back in London on the 25th.

- That's tomorrow.

They're coming back tomorrow!

I have to start packing.

- It all sounds very exciting, doesn't it, George?

RADIO HISSES

- Please can I get down?

- Don't you want to wait for your cousins?

- Don't wait for me. I'm going to take ages to pack.

I wonder what presents they've got us.

- GEORGE SIGHS

- Is George OK?

- She will be.

Just give her some time.

Oh, it's all right.

It's all right. I won't hurt you.

The bad men... Have they gone?

Uh, yeah, they've... They've gone.

- Oh...

That was close.

- Are you OK?

- No.

I am definitely...definitely not OK.

Are you OK?

- Well, I-I'm fine.

- You were crying.

- I was not crying. - You were cry...

Look, tears or no tears - it can't be that bad.

It's worse where I'm sitting, trust me.

- Who were those people?

- Can I trust you?

Promise?

- I promise.

- Those are bad, bad men.

They want to lock me up like a wild dog.

Will you help me?

Please?

Please?

- Yes.

- So what I need now is food and a drink.

But I don't want water. I can't drink water.

- Why can't you drink water?

- Because...it makes me rusty.

I need milk.

Full-fat, hairs-on-your-chest milk.

Can you get that for me?

Please?

- Er... - Aww...

Come on.

- Stay there.

- And, kiddie, could you get us

a little bit of bread and cheese as well, please?

Thanks.

- It's been on and off like that for weeks.

This rhythmic, pulsing sound.

Always seems to coincide with the news bulletin.

It's driving me mad.

- So you're trying to figure out

if it's some kind of internal fault? - Correct.

Once we rule that out,

then I can try and pinpoint the location

of the interfering signal.

- How was your walk?

Where'd you go?

- Just around.

- Anne and I are cooking dinner tonight.

Cottage pie.

Kind of a...last supper celebration thing.

- Great.

- Hello, George. Nice to meet you.

You're a soggy old dog, ain't ya?

- TIMMY WHINES

- What's your name?

- I have many names.

I've got the one that I was born with -

though I haven't used that in years -

there was one fine lady what called me darling,

though she is long gone now,

and there's one, a young 'un,

who calls me Papa.

And it's her I miss the most.

But most people know me

by the name that I will go out with.

- HE BLOWS

- The Great Supremo.

For you.

- Thank you.

And who are those people chasing you?

- Them -

they are agents of evil.

And they mean to take something from me

what doesn't belong to them.

Something that I am the guardian of.

- Right...

- No, don't doubt that I'm in earnest.

There are men who would kill to get their hands on it.

- George!

- Did you tell anyone about me?

- I didn't tell anyone. - Sh!

- TIMMY BARKS

- Timmy, come back.

- Ah, Timmy! Come here. Good boy.

George?

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

Why are you hiding from me?

- Just go away. Please.

- You never say please. What's going on?

- Cross your heart, hope to die.

- Come on, George, you can trust me. - Do it!

- HE SIGHS

- Cross my heart and hope to die.

- We all die, my boy.

But a few of us, a lucky few, get to truly live.

Ow.

- HE GROANS

- Ow!

Gosh. Dammit! Dammit!

- He could be a vagabond or an escaped convict.

He could be anyone, for all we know.

- Whoever he is, he needs our help.

I made a promise to him.

And you made one to me.

- What if he's an...axe murderer?

- He doesn't have an axe.

- Uh, what if he left it in his last victim?

- He's just a lonely guy who's in trouble.

- All right.

We give him food and shelter for one night,

but that's it.

- And we don't tell my parents.

- Deal.

- I found him in the woods.

- Why is he dressed like a wizard?

He calls himself the Great Supremo.

- HE SIGHS

- I am the Great Supremo.

Conjurer, escapologist

and mesmerist.

An expert in the strange and unknown powers

which surround us in this world and the next.

The greatest showman the circus has ever seen.

- What tricks do you do?

- What tricks do...?

- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

- Once, I was locked inside a suitcase

and thrown into the Danube

with nothing but a pencil -

this pencil - between my teeth,

only to emerge ten minutes later

to rapturous applause.

- HE CHUCKLES

- Can you show us a magic trick now, then?

- You want to see a magic trick now, then?

Nothing in my hands.

And there is nothing up my sleeves.

And yet...

Ace of hearts.

- That's spades.

- Oh, my mistake.

- HE CHUCKLES

- There you go. - That's not magic, though. - Huh?

- That's not magic.

It was in your other hand the entire time.

- Well...

You're right, boy.

And you are obviously wise beyond your years.

But do not let the fact that I'm a terrible magician

let you believe that magic does not exist.

Because it does, boy.

And I've seen it with these eyes.

The very eyes what are looking at you.

- Thank you.

- Good afternoon. - Hello. I'm sorry to trouble you.

My name is Dr Graves, from the Greencoat Institute.

- How can I help?

- We seem to have lost one of our patients.

It's very careless of us.

- Oh. - But don't worry.

He's, uh... He's harmless enough, really.

He's just terribly confused.

And we think he might be hiding on your land.

- Oh! - Would it be OK if one of my men had a look around?

- Yes. Of course.

Won't you come in?

GLUGGING

- They mean me harm.

If they find me, they'll lock me up.

- They will if you run. That's why you need to stay here.

We'll keep you safe.

- George is right. We'll protect you.

- You'd do that for me? - We've got the perfect hiding place right here.

- These are bad people.

They say I'm mad, but I'm not.

They mean to steal from me.

Steal something that doesn't belong to them.

Something they must never be allowed to have.

- What?

- The Eye of the Sunrise.

It must be protected.

These people will stop at nothing to get it.

But you...you're just children. You mustn't get involved.

- We are involved.

We made a promise, and we don't break our promises.

- How long have you worked at the institute?

- I started there years after the war.

Nearly every patient we treated suffered from a trauma

of some sort or another. When the Army closed it down,

I turned it into a private psychiatric hospital.

- Oh! Can't have been easy to get the funding.

- My patron was the father of a patient. - Sorry.

- I heard you've been doing

some pretty cutting-edge work up there.

- Yes, great advancements are being made

in the fields of psychiatry and psychoanalysis.

Freud and Jung have opened the door

to a world of infinite possibilities.

Whatever neuroses a patient displays,

however ingrained it might seem,

it feels like just a matter of time

before we find the correct treatment.

Although, sadly, that's yet to happen

for the patient I'm currently searching for.

- Should we be worried?

- He's not dangerous, but he's confused,

and that can make him a little unpredictable.

He suffers from the most vivid delusions and paranoia.

Persecution complex.

- And you're chasing him across the countryside.

- Quite.

- Ah.

Would you like some tea?

- There's no milk.

Vanished.

It's the strangest thing, you know,

I could've sworn we had a full bottle this morning.

- Is something wrong, Dr Graves?

- I noticed some children when I arrived.

Would it be all right if I spoke to them?

You never know, they might have seen something.

- Of course.

Follow me.

- Thank you, thank you. I'll be quiet.

- What's he blabbing on about? What's this thing

he says they're trying to steal from him?

- The Eye of the Sunrise? No idea.

- Sounds like an ancient artefact. Mayan or Aztec, maybe.

They both worshipped the sun.

- It could just as easily be

the name of a racehorse or a pub, for all we know.

- They're coming! Quick! - Not a word.

- DOOR CREAKS

Children, this is Dr Graves.

She wants to ask you a few questions.

Dr Graves, this is my daughter George,

and her cousins, Julian, Dick and Anne.

- Hello. - How do you do?

- Hi. - Hello, children.

- Dr Graves is looking for one of her patients.

Have any of you seen anything suspicious?

- Uh... No, we haven't seen anything, have we?

- No. I've been making cottage pie.

- I've been helping Uncle Quentin with the radio.

I've barely started packing, so...

- Would you mind if I spoke to them alone for a moment?

- Er... - Only for a moment.

- Of course. - Thank you.

Don't worry.

You're not in any trouble.

Neither is my patient. He's just...

He's a little confused,

and I'm worried about him.

Mr Franken isn't very well, you see.

That's why I want to get him back,

so we can look after him.

- We understand your situation, Dr Graves,

but we'd tell you if we'd seen him, wouldn't we?

- I'm sure you would,

because you all seem like very sensible young people.

Do you know the story of Hansel and Gretel?

You do.

Well, they were sensible young children like you,

weren't they?

But then they got lost in the woods.

And when they saw the house made of gingerbread,

they didn't realise that a witch lived inside.

They were so hungry

that they allowed themselves to be lured in

by the promise of something nice to eat

when, really, the witch just wanted to gobble them up.

- SHE CHUCKLES - Look, all I'm trying to say is

that this man may look harmless,

but make no mistake, he's not.

So if you've seen something,

you need to tell me right now.

You've seen him, haven't you?

No?

You need to tell me where he is.

- Leave her alone.

I'll come quietly.

- That's enough!

That's enough. Check his pockets, please.

- I know what you're looking for,

and you won't find it in here.

- Thank you, Bradley.

If you'd like to help Mr Franken to the car.

- I'll never tell you where it is!

You'll have to kill me first.

- I thought you said he wasn't dangerous.

- He's not.

- He's just confused.

Don't worry, he'll be all right now.

Thank you for your cooperation.

- Can we visit him?

- No, I'm afraid that won't be possible.

- Why not?

- Visiting hours at the institute are extremely restricted.

- You're locking him up for no reason!

- CAR DOOR OPENS

- Evening, Mr Roberts. - Good evening, Dr Graves.

- You know I'm not mad.

Deep down in your heart, you know it -

if you have one at all.

I may be a weak man,

I may have lied and cheated...

I've even stolen once or twice when I really needed to.

But I am compos mentis, the full shilling...

..and I'm in full possession of my marbles.

And you have no right to keep me here.

- You'll stay here until I decide to release you, Mr Franken -

marbles or no marbles.

And I'll tell you why.

Because you're not going anywhere

until you tell me where you hid the diamond.

It's a little late for dinner, I think, Bradley.

Mr Franken will be tired.

Lights off and an early night.

There's plenty for you to be thinking about.

Oh, and you can have the milk in the morning.

Where is it now?

- I'm not going to tell you anything.

- You will.

Maybe not straight away, but you will eventually.

All I need to do is find out what you hold dear.

Clearly that's not yourself - that much is obvious.

But, you know, everyone has something that they cherish.

It could be their reputation...

..or money.

Or it could be as simple as a family member -

a wife or...or a child.

Perhaps she might be able to help us.

- Where did you find him?

it shouldn't be too hard to find out where it is.

- They've got to stay one more night.

Mum, can't you ring Uncle Jack and Aunt Gillian?

- It's just the circus, darling.

- It's not! It's much more important than that.

Listen,

I know I've been acting a bit strange recently.

I admit it. I've been angry.

I don't want them to leave.

If you just let us go to the circus together,

just to have one last thing...

- FANNY CHATS IN BACKGROUND

- There are clowns at circuses.

I don't like clowns.

- What's wrong with clowns?

- Exaggerated facial features, lack of emotional signals,

unpredictable movement patterns,

pale make-up, invoking infection, blight, injury or death.

- Jack has agreed you can stay one more night.

- Brilliant. Thanks, Mum.

- Uh-huh.

- Now, can you tell us what this is about?

- All right. Look at this.

- "Circus. Circus. Circus."

- That's what he was looking for.

The Great Supremo.

It means he wasn't mad - he was telling the truth.

Maybe he's telling the truth about everything.

- He's being held against his will?

- Not just that.

What if the treasure he was talking about was real as well?

- The Eye of the Sunrise.

- We're going home tomorrow, George.

- Julian's right. We don't have time for another adventure.

- There's nobody else to help him.

We've got to find this thing before that doctor does.

- Any idea where we might find his caravan?

- You want my advice?

You're a bunch of kids at a circus -

get yourself some candyfloss, go for a ride, have some fun,

and stay out of trouble.

- Maybe we should split up.

Are you his daughter?

I'm George.

This is Julian, Dick, Anne

and Timmy.

We're here to help you get your father back.

We think they're looking for something that belongs to him.

The Eye of the Sunrise.

Only, we don't know what it is.

- It's the diamond Dad uses to hypnotise people.

- Do you know where it is now?

- Dad never lets it out of his sight.

It's the source of all his power.

Wherever he is, that's where it'll be.

- That's the thing, though -

he hasn't got it.

- We think maybe he knew someone was going to try and steal it,

and maybe he hid it somewhere.

- Well, he definitely had it on the night he went missing.

- Do you remember any specific details about that night?

- It was really busy.

Normally we only do eight shows, but that night we did ten.

- Behold the Eye of the Sunrise.

A priceless diamond bestowed to me by the Tsarina

as she fled the revolution in Russia.

Once belonging to the infamous R-R-Rasputin

and, before him, the Medici family in Florence.

It's capable of giving extreme, huge power

to those willing to open themselves up to it.

And with it, I have helped people cure sickness,

summon up unheard-of physical strength

and even access past lives.

But we don't expect you to believe moi.

No, no, no, no.

For this, we will need...

..a volunteer.

No.

No.

You, madam.

- Then this last volunteer,

she got pulled in deep.

Your eyes are heavy.

And soon you will be asleep.

She offered Dad a king's ransom after that for the diamond,

but he wasn't having any of it.

- Listen, there is no way you're getting this.

Now, get out! Out!

Told her she could keep her money.

That's the thing about my dad.

He doesn't like people trying to push him around.

What did she look like, the woman your dad argued with?

- Well, she said that she was a doctor,

but she definitely did not look like a doctor to me.

I thought she was scary.

- Definitely Dr Graves.

- What happened after the show?

- I came back to the caravan.

I always count the takings before bed.

The next morning...

..Dad was gone.

- He must have hidden it before Graves got him.

Any idea what your dad did after you left?

- He wanted to talk things through with Bingo.

- Who's Bingo?

- I told him to take the money.

The amount she was offering, he could have got out,

built himself a house and settled down.

But he wouldn't hear of it.

- Did he give you the diamond to look after?

- I'd like to think he would have done,

that he could have trusted me if he was in trouble.

But he didn't.

I told him, "If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it."

He was worried, you see.

Thought they might come back.

So, we had a couple of drinks,

threw some darts down at Billy Pop-Pop's,

and then he went home.

- Who's Billy Pop-Pop?

- He runs the dart game.

You throw a dart, the balloon goes pop.

- Three darts to win a prize.

This is hopeless.

The diamond could be anywhere.

- Maybe one of the ponies swallowed it.

- Maybe the Great Supremo swallowed it!

- Why would my dad swallow the diamond?

- So the evil doctor couldn't get her hands on it.

- You never said that she was evil.

- It's just a figure of speech.

I didn't want this teddy.

I wanted that one.

- Yeah, well, I did my best.

- When did you get that bear?

- Dad gave it to me the night he went away.

- I think I can feel it. - Pass it to me.

- Careful, Dick.

- We need to go the other way. - Wait.

I know you're in here, children.

I just want to talk to you.

- You want to see the diamond?

I'll show it to you.

- Give it to me.

- I changed my mind. I need both.

You can't hypnotise someone that quickly.

It's not a magical spell that you can just cast on people like that.

- I don't know, but I've got a really bad feeling.

Uh, just a minute, Bradley.

Another patient.

How fascinating.

- I'm not a patient.

I know what you've done, and I'm going to stop you.

- Such vivid delusions.

You've come to the right place.

- She'll be here soon now.

She's a remarkable woman.

She never stops, you know.

Full-time job, running the institute.

- You don't have to wait up with us, Sir Lincoln.

- Oh, nonsense. Nonsense.

You must be scared out of your minds.

I had a son. I know what it's like.

Er, that is to say,

I know what you're going through right now.

It's the worst thing.

The absolute worst.

- I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. I was with a patient.

- Not at all. We're sorry to have come so late.

- They've lost their daughter, Rosamund.

- Yes, yes, Bradley said.

Of course, I'm terribly sorry to hear that.

How can I help? - We have reason to believe she might be here.

- An extraordinary notion.

I'm afraid I don't quite follow.

- They think she might have stowed away in the back of your truck.

- Goodness!

Why do you think that?

- Were you at the circus earlier today?

- Yes. Yes, I was there, dealing with the fallout

from that patient who's thankfully back in our care.

- Hmm. - But I don't see

what that's got to do with your daughter.

- Well, her cousins said that they saw you there

and there was some sort of altercation.

- Yes, I did see them,

but I'd hardly call it an altercation.

I mean, of course we can have a look.

- No, we've already done that.

There's no sign of her.

- So you haven't seen her, then?

- No.

Not since the circus.

But I think I've got a pretty good idea of what's going on here.

Can I ask, is it unusual for her to run off like this?

- Ah, well... - George is certainly very independent-minded,

but it's the circumstances of her disappearance

that have given us cause for concern.

- Well, do you think she might have had a row

with the other children, perhaps?

- It's not beyond the realms of possibility.

- Not according to her cousins.

- Well, she certainly seemed to be

in quite an agitated state when I met her at the cottage.

- She was upset.

- But does she normally express herself so...forcefully

when things don't turn out how she'd like?

Well, perhaps there's some kind of underlying anxiety.

Might she be worried about going back to school...

..or the end of summer holidays? Her cousins leaving?

- I'm not interested in your interpretations, Doctor.

I just want to find our daughter.

- Oh, I don't mean to worry you unduly.

No, I'm sure she's a perfectly normal young girl.

She probably ran off to be on her own for a bit.

You know, in all likelihood,

she'll have got cold and hungry,

and she'll be waiting for you when you get back home.

- Hmm.

Well...

Thank you for your time, Doctor.

Um...

Like you say, probably she'll be waiting for us

when we get home. - Yes, exactly.

And if, later on, once things have settled a bit,

you feel that she might benefit from having someone to talk to,

my door's always open.

- We'll keep that in mind. - Yes. - And, uh, thank you.

- Let me go.

- I can't do that, I'm afraid.

Not right now, anyway.

Look, you're clearly a very determined young woman.

It's an admirable quality,

but it's one that's completely irrelevant here.

You see, we have certain, um, structures and systems in place,

which are immovable. And the sooner you understand that,

the better it will be for both of us.

It's time to go to bed now, George.

Remember that you're still a child.

You may not like it,

but sometimes you just have to do what you're told

and let the grown-ups make the decisions.

- OK. I'll go to bed.

- Just, um... Just try to get some sleep, OK?

Things will seem a lot clearer in the morning.

They always do.

- DOOR LOCKS

SHE SIGHS

CAR APPROACHES

Mm.

- No luck?

- HE TUTS

- She's done this sort of thing before, of course.

Three nights, I think, was the record -

after she got expelled.

- It was two.

But it was in the middle of winter.

- Yeah. Found her huddled up in a sheep pen

with a load of Bluefaced Leicesters.

- HE CHUCKLES - She'd given all of them names.

Thick as thieves, they were.

Anyway, the point is, it's not out of character.

- She didn't run away, though, Uncle Quentin.

Something's happened to her.

- It's been a long night.

I think we all just need some sleep.

- Would it be OK if Jo stayed over?

- Of course she can.

CRACKLY MUSIC: London Bridge Is Falling Down

RADIO INTERFERENCE

- ..Tear off your chains,

take arms and revolt!

We must destroy the state...

- Not at breakfast, Dick.

RADIO OFF

- When did it flip from nursery rhymes

to an angry man shouting?

- I'm not sure, exactly.

Though we did track down where it was coming from,

took it to the police, showed them on the Ordnance Survey,

so it's up to them now.

Though I don't hold out much hope.

- Are you OK if I run you back to the circus

in a couple of hours, Jo?

- Thank you, Mrs Barnard. - Oh, it's my pleasure.

Are you going to be OK? - The circus looks after me.

The acrobats do all the cooking and cleaning,

the ringmaster teaches my lessons...

- Ooh! - ..I get to ride the ponies whenever I want,

and I'm training to be an illusionist like Dad.

- Oh, OK!

- Aunt Fanny. - Mm? - I know we're supposed to be leaving today,

but we'd like to stay and help find George.

- That's a very kind offer, Julian.

I know how worried you all must be,

but your parents are expecting you

on the 3.50 from Swanage.

I know it's sad that you might not get the chance

to say goodbye to George, but you'll see her again soon.

- But...

..what if she doesn't come back?

What if she's lost?

Or stuck somewhere?

- She'll come home.

And if she's not back by lunchtime...

..I'm going to the police.

- I've seen what it's capable of with my own eyes!

I felt your hands reach inside my mind!

- It's... It's a cheap trick, that's all.

A parlour game.

- No, people only think that because you pretend it is.

- ECHOING: - But it's real and you're going to show me how it works.

- It's not real.

I let you believe that, but it's all been a lie.

- No, no, you haven't seen what I've seen.

Thousands of young men walking around like zombies,

after what they experienced in France.

If I could reach inside the minds of my patients,

if...if I could access their...their thoughts

and their...their dreams, their repressed memories,

then I could use this as a therapeutic method.

Right? I could...I could cure the pathologies

of an entire generation.

I could free mankind from the shackles of neuroses.

- Listen, I can wave this around all day long,

it's not going to make any difference.

It's as fake as a two-bob note.

As am I!

- No!

It's not supposed to break.

Diamonds are the hardest material known to man.

- Well, there's an easy explanation for that.

It's not a real diamond.

I'm not a hypnotist. It...

None of it's real.

Maybe we should ask the people from the circus for help.

- We could get the acrobats to climb in through the windows.

- SARCASTICALLY: - Good idea, Anne.

Send in the clowns, scare the guards,

take over the asylum.

- Have you got any better ideas?

- We never should have let George go off on her own.

If we were all together, I'm sure we could come up with something.

Here, Jo. I was wondering

if you'd like to keep her, to replace your teddy.

The one that got its head ripped off.

- I like that one.

- You can't have Daisy Mae.

She's my favourite.

But you can have this one.

- Let me have Daisy Mae.

- You can have Daisy Mae.

- Thanks, Anne, that's really kind of you.

- Wait a minute. What just happened?

- I gave her a doll. So what?

- You gave her Daisy Mae -

your favourite doll three years running.

Dick's not even allowed to touch Daisy Mae.

- He's right. You would never willingly do that.

You're acting like I'm really selfish.

- This isn't about you. This is about her.

- ECHOING: - Supremo. Can you hear me?

- Mother, is that you?

- It's me, George.

- George?

- ECHOING: - What are you doing here?

- I came to rescue you.

- WHISPERS: - What's the plan?

- Um...

There isn't one. They caught me.

- HE SIGHS

- George, you're a brave girl,

but you shouldn't have taken such a risk.

Not for an old rapscallion like me.

- There's got to be a way we can get out of here.

- I fear Dr Graves won't make the same mistake twice.

What about your cousins?

Do they know you're here?

- I don't think so.

They've probably gone home by now.

It's just us.

- Well...

Don't give up just yet.

We're in a pickle.

No doubt about that.

But hope can be found

in the most unlikely of places, George.

DOOR CREAKS

- One of our guests has asked to see you.

- I knew you'd come.

I've seen a version of this moment before, you see.

In the cave.

When we last met.

- Wentworth?

What are you doing here?

- Recovering.

- QUIETLY: - At least, that's what they think I'm doing.

What are you in for?

- I'm being held here against my will.

- Huh. Weren't there five of you last time?

What happened to your chums?

- It's just me.

- Let's go for a walk. There are things we need to discuss.

- I'm not going for a walk with you. - You will, though.

Because I know what's brought you to this institution.

And I have some information, very important information,

that will have a direct effect on subsequent events.

- Ginger beer, sir?

- Maybe later, Justin.

I'm sorry about trying to kill you before.

It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

It's all worked out for the best in the end, though.

For you, if not for me.

You see, ultimate knowledge,

the kind that was bestowed upon me,

turns out to be more of a burden than I thought.

That's why I don't mind being here so much.

Keeps me out of trouble.

More or less.

The present needs only the slightest of shoves

for the future to veer off in the wrong direction.

That's where you come in.

- I have no idea what you're talking about.

- The Eye of the Sunrise.

It wasn't my idea originally.

I may have encouraged the good doctor a bit.

And she is a good doctor, by the way.

A little naive, but I genuinely think

she wants to make the world a better place.

- She's holding me prisoner!

- Nobody's perfect.

That's the point, you see. I tried to stay out of it,

but I must have inadvertently let something slip

to another interested party,

and now they're involved.

And that could be a big problem.

Unless you do something about it.

What I'm trying to say is,

the identity of our real enemy is not yet apparent.

Not to you or Dr Graves. She's completely oblivious,

unlike me.

- Because you've seen the future.

- Precisely.

- And you're not going to tell me because...?

- I've caused enough trouble already.

But a life stands to be lost,

and it's not a life I'm willing to lose.

Not yet.

You'll help me save a life, won't you, George?

- You need to tell me who it is that's in danger.

- You'll find out soon enough.

- HE SNAPS HIS FINGERS

- Bradley, you can take her back to her room now, please.

- Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?

- I have my reasons.

We'll meet again, George.

At least once.

- I have to make eye contact with them.

I have to really, really focus.

And they have to want to be hypnotised in the first place.

- Why didn't you tell us?

- Dad made me promise not to tell anyone.

- What about the diamond? - That was his idea.

It's just his way of keeping me safe.

People find out, they get scared.

People don't like things that they're scared of.

My mum had to keep it a secret.

So did my granny before her.

- Are you hypnotising us now?

- I'm not supposed to use it.

- You have to.

Don't you see?

This is how we rescue George and your father.

- But what if it doesn't work, though?

- Then at least we would have tried our best.

We owe them that much, don't we?

- I don't think I can do it.

- Yes, you can.

All you have to do is look them in the eye

and tell them what to do. - As far as we know.

- Can I help you?

- You're going to take us to the Great Supremo,

and you're going to let him go.

Sir Lincoln Aubrey.

- Oh, well, something terrible's been happening underneath your roof.

Are you all right? Mm?

What?

Thank you.

Am I being rescued?

Let me look at you.

- Bradley, what on earth's going on?

Bradley?

It's her, isn't it?

- She's the Eye of the Sunrise.

- It's remarkable.

- You stay away from my daughter!

- Bradley, restrain the doctor.

- What? What? No! No, no, I understand now.

You were just... You were trying to protect her,

but you need to let me study her.

She could...she could open up

our understanding of the human mind. - Save it, Doctor.

You are finished.

- Well, thank you very much, Officer.

Yeah. Soon as you can.

All right. Goodbye.

Well, a couple of uniformed officers should be here within the hour.

I am so sorry about all this.

Dr Graves treated my son towards the end of his life.

I thought I knew her, but...

I mean, clearly she pushed herself too far.

I blame myself.

- Well, don't.

We should all count our blessings.

No-one's hurt, we're all back together again,

thanks to the kids.

- Well, I shall assume control

until a replacement has been found,

but I can assure you,

there will be severe repercussions.

I will look into it myself.

- Well, I guess we all just want to get home, don't we?

- Oh, yes, quite right.

I will drive you there myself, and I will inform your parents.

- There's just one last thing I want to do before we go.

Would that be OK?

- Well, I think, under the circumstances,

you can ask for anything you wish!

HE LAUGHS

- I made friends with one of the other patients.

I just want a chance to say goodbye.

Oh, I'll arrange that straight away.

- HE HUMS: London Bridge Is Falling Down

Oh, yes.

Could you ask one of the orderlies to step in

Thank you.

All right, now let's see about getting you home.

I think we've all had enough excitement for one day.

TIMMY WHIMPERS

Why are we even here?

- Not something.

Someone. - Who?

- I have to be very careful.

- Yeah, but I don't know who you mean!

You said someone's in danger. You have to tell us who.

listen to a bit of jazz before the news.

- You said there was a hidden enemy.

What did you mean?

The Eye of the Sunrise is safe.

- # London Bridge is falling down

# Falling down, falling down

# London Bridge is falling down

# Da, da, da-da. #

- He's got it!

Clever Dick.

- What's that tune you were singing?

- London Bridge Is Falling Down.

- Sir Lincoln was humming it earlier.

- That's not where I heard it.

The radio broadcast!

- Did my dad ever figure out who was behind that?

- He didn't find out who.

He found out where and why.

Some maniac was trying to brainwash people

into overthrowing the government.

- Where's Jo?

- With her dad and Sir Lincoln.

- There it is.

She's got it!

- Sir Lincoln's going to make Jo hypnotise people over the radio?

- It won't work, though.

She won't be able to do it.

- And how do you think our enemy is going to feel about that?

Hmm?

Happy?

Or unhappy?

A child's life hangs in the balance.

Now go.

- It's OK. Come on, in you get.

- TIMMY BARKS

- Where are they going?

- I don't know.

But I know a man who does.

- It's all gone!

They've cleared it all up!

- It's got to be here somewhere.

What we're looking for is an Ordnance Survey map.

One that's covered in scribbles.

- How are we supposed to find that under all this junk?

- Where have you been?! We've been worried sick!

- Dad, I need you to calm down and to listen to me. - Wait a minute!

Your mother is down at the police station.

They're organising a search party.

- This is important.

- So is this. Come with me.

- All right, fine.

- Come on. It's got to be here somewhere.

- Do you really expect me to believe

this girl hypnotised Dr Graves?

- She didn't hypnotise the doctor.

She hypnotised the nurse.

The point is, Sir Lincoln Aubrey is trying to use her.

When he finds out it's not going to work,

he might do something terrible.

- They're not answering.

Unbelievable.

- TIMMY WHIMPERS

- Do you know what I think this is really about?

You're upset.

Your cousins are going home,

and you've made up this wild adventure,

in the hope that it might keep them here a little longer.

- Maybe you're right.

Maybe I don't want them to go home.

Maybe I don't want things to go back to how they were before.

- George...

You shouldn't have run off like that.

- I know.

I'm sorry.

I've learnt my lesson, I promise.

Please can I go out with my cousins...
