Lead chuckles gently

what has the mean man done to you?

Made you cry?

It wasn't locked before.

Come on, Rob.

Whispers: By the wall.

Lead?

Don't you worry about it. Lead? Lead'll take care of it.

Lead! Don't worry.

Ok? It's all right.

It's locked.

Let's go.

It isn't now.

All irregularities will be handled by the forces

Transuranic, heavy elements may not be used where there is life.

Gold, lead...

Copper...

Jet, diamond, radium, sapphire, silver and steel.

Sapphire and steel have been assigned.

What have you done to the door?

Chuckling I have opened it.

Rob? Are you down there, Rob?

Don't worry about them.

Rob? Don't listen to them.

Whispers: We'll soon be safe.

Stay there.

Sit down.

Dad? Shh!

You said mum was here. She is.

Mystical pulsing but I can't see her.

Look.

Still can't see her.

That's because you're not looking hard enough, Rob.

When people are hiding, you've got to look for them really hard. I am.

Bellows: Look! Mystical pulsing

mum?

Emotionless: Hello, Rob.

There you are.

Come on. You wanted to see her, didn't you?

Yes, but... But what?

But why doesn't she look at us?

Yes, dear. Why don't you look at us?

Shrieks: No!

Sapphire! Help me!

Mystical pulsing

Pulsing intensifies, then fades

Pulsing intensifies, then fades

pretty little thing.

Whispers: Don't worry. I'll take care of you.

Pulsing intensifies, then fades

Vibrating chime

pulsing intensifies, then fades

just there, just beyond the beams.

All right as far as the beam? Yes.

What about the beams themselves? No.

This is where it starts.

Rob? 'Y-Yes, steel.

'I know what to do.'

speak to me.

'Well, this is what happened to sapphire, isn't it?

'On the landing.' Yes.

'So I know to do. I just stand very still, don't I?

'Don't I?'

yes, Rob. You do.

'I'm sorry, steel, but it was my father.

'He bought me down here. Well, not him, not really him.'

whatever it was, was pretending to be your father? 'Yes.'

you see...

..Is it still with you? 'No, I'm alone.'

'You're not alone, Rob.' 'No.'

'because we're quite close to you.' 'Yes, sapphire.'

We're all in the cellar together.

Firmly: And you are one of us. 'Yes.'

Rob?

You remember when sapphire was trapped on the landing?

'They wanted to you to think she was in a room.'

yes, but we kept telling her... Both: Not to believe in that room...

'Not to be a part of it, right.' Firmly: Listen to me!

Rob, you're doing all right, son.

Tell me what you can see.

I'm outside, I'm in the open.

It looks like the cellar.

Part of the cellar, but it isn't finished.

It's being built.

'The house is being built.'

Rob, is it day or night?

'Erm, evening. Just got dark.'

just stay where you are for the moment, ok?

'All right.'

why should they take him back to the time when the house was being built?

Rob, can you sing? 'Not very well.'

do you know any songs?

'I can whistle.' Well, whistle me a tune then.

Whistles 'the drunken sailor'

lead hums along

they resume whistling and humming

you know it!

They hum 'drunken sailor'

♪ hey, hey, and up she rises... ♪

those patches of light need something to lock onto.

There are no pictures being hung... Both: Or rhymes being said...

..In a house that's being built.

There must be something. ♪ Put him in a longboat till... ♪

well, we have to find out what it is.

♪ Put him in a longboat till he's sober early in the... ♪

what is he doing?

♪ Hey, hey and up she rises hey, hey and up she rises

♪ hey, hey and up she rises early in the morning

♪ hey, hey and up she rises... ♪

lead chuckles

let's locate them, shall we?

Rob? 'Yes, sapphire?'

you remember those patches of light? 'Yes.'

they're there with you somewhere. 'I know.'

you know what? 'That they're in here somewhere.'

can you see them? No, but I know they're here.

One of them was pretending to be my father.

The other one, my mother.

Are we going in there? Not yet.

Let's find them first.

Rob, I'm going to make them appear, right?

'Yes.'

when you see them, tell us where they are.

'All right.'

mystical pulsing

'can I move?' Yes, but very quickly, remember?

'Yes, I remember.'

cosmic chimes

pulsing continues

behind me, steel, just behind me.

Chime intensifies

the second one's in front of me, the other side, just in front.

All right. All right, Rob. Just keep still.

Ooh, we've got them, we've found them.

Steel... there's something wrong.

It's too easy. There must be something else.

Keep him singing.

All right, Rob. Now, let's really sing that song. Come on.

♪ What shall we do with a drunken sailor

♪ what shall we do... ♪ there is something else.

There's another one... a third one.

♪ Hey, hey, and up she rises early in the morning

♪ what shall we do with a drunken sailor... ♪

gasping

come on, Rob, you're doing fine, son. Come on!

♪ What shall we do with a drunken sailor... ♪

shouts: Rob?

We're going to lose him, steel.

Rob?

Rob?

Trudging footsteps

He's gone, hasn't he? Rob's gone!

Rob's voice: 'No, Helen. I'm still here. I fought it, and I've won.'

'You can all come in now. I fought it, and I've won.'

He is still there, steel. Rob is still in there.

He's holding them. You mustn't go in.

Rob's voice: 'Don't listen to her.

'Please. Help me.'

'please, help me!'

please, help him!

Do something!

I'm going to help him, Helen, I just need a minute.

'Please, I need you.'

Rob? You remember the first time we came here, came to this house.

'Yes, steel.'

I'm sorry I was so rude. 'That's all right, steel.'

it's just that I'd had a difficult time, a bad time in that ship.

That ship, what was the name of the ship?

'The Mary Celeste.' That's it, that's right.

Do something!

Are your mother and father still there?

'Yes, they're here, Steele.'

I'm sorry, we've never met. I don't know their names.

What are they called, Rob?

Mystical pulsing

whispers: Henry. Sarah.

Henry and Sarah. Thank you, Rob.

We're gonna have to get some help.

You were right to call the policeman at the point.

I'm gonna need him after all.

Can you remember his telephone number? 'No.'

that's all right, I can look it up.

What's his name? 'I don't know.'

yes, you do, Rob. The policeman at the point.

'I don't know.'

he came to this house. He's a friend of yours.

'I don't know.' The policeman at the point.

'I don't know.'

what's his name? His name? 'I don't know.'

he came to the house. 'I don't know.'

what is his name? 'I don't know.' Name!

'I don't know.' 'Name!' 'I don't know.'

'name.' Rob regains voice: I don't know.

'Name.' I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. Bri... Brian.

Brian tr...

Forced: Constable Brian Trelawney.

Shouts: Steel, it's me, I'm back, it's really me!

Sapphire was right, something terrible happened here.

'Not now, Rob.' 'But steel, I know.'

you're back where you were, you're not back here.

Yes, steel. What do I do?

'I need to know what it's in, what part of the past it's projecting.

'Do you understand?'

yes. 'Look quickly and tell me.'

erm, stone.

'There something written on stone. I couldn't see what it was.

'But I can go back and look.' No, stay exactly as you are.

It's a name.

Someone's name marked on it. No, it's chipped out of it.

Je-je-je-je-jed.

Mace-made. Mace.

Second-second-second. Second of February.

Seven-seven-1736...

Who's jed mace?

The builder of this house. That stone is his Mark.

The first stone to be laid? Quite possibly one of the first.

How much time? Time?

From where Rob is now back to the time that stone was set,

how much time?

Half a day.

Half a day.

It's all right, Rob, we know where you are now.

Your troubles are nearly over. Don't move a muscle.

We've made a fatal mistake. You don't build houses backwards.

It came through at the top of the house.

The roof, the gable.

The last part of the house to be built. Right.

But it allowed its satellites to use that stone to hide in there.

The first part of the house to be built.

Be ready to take time back half a day. Why?

I'm going to bring it all down here.

Down here? Yes.

Down there.

Into the timeframe it's chosen.

Oh, that's beautiful.

And how do we get it down here? Invite it?

Yes.

All we need is a nursery rhyme...

And someone as bait.

A human.

No!

I'll let you choose the appropriate nursery rhyme for her.

Whispered: No.
