(exciting music) - The sun is high and the air is crisp, for we are facing a glorious dawn. And when our royal brothers
leave their tunnel, we will not be afraid, but ready. For the sun will shine down upon us and we will face whomever dare
wait out on that green field. Embraced as one, we'll
accept your challenge. And we will give our all. But rise or fall we will
still stand together, united, because together, we can rule the world. (time shrieking backward) (ball bouncing) Embrace as one, we'
ll
accept your challenge. And we'll give you our all. (piano music) But rise or fall we will
still stand together, because together, we can rule the world. The same songs will play,
the same voices ring. For they are our boys in blue,
and for them we'll sing... Play up Pompey, Pompey play up! (chalk scratching) (feet thumping) Dad
- Christ, Arty. - Sorry, erm yeah so I
was wondering if maybe on the way we could
stop off at Bunshire's? - I'm afraid something's come up. We'll have to go another ti
me. - What do you mean? - I'm close to a breakthrough. It's important I stay on top things. - But it's the last game of the season. There won't be another
one until September. And you promised. - I'm sorry. I can't afford the time. (ball slamming)
(keys clattering) - I knew you would do this. Mum wouldn't have let me down. - Arty, wait. (somber music) - All my mates are going. I'm the only one whoever misses out. - Well I was thinking, if
it means this much to you, perhaps you should go. - Reall
y? - Really, what time does it start? - Well, if we left now we
could just about make kick-off. - Well, all right. But listen, before I agree to anything, you know, I'll have to
get work done tonight. - Yeah, absolutely, anything you want! - It's a deal then. Go in and grab your jacket. - Thanks, Dad! (exciting music) Are you ready then dad? - Have you seen the car keys? - Probably in your pocket. - I thought I'd put them there. Nevermind, if we hurry
we can take the train. (door clicking) (trai
n whistle blowing)
(rhythmic clattering) - Dad?
- Yes? - Do you think that maybe
in the summer I could go and visit Aunt Claire? - I don't see any reason why not. It would be good for you
to get out of the house, and play with your cousins. - Yeah. I haven't seen them since the funeral. (Train thumping noise) It must've just changed lines. - What did you say? - What?
- What did you just say? - Er, I said we must
have just changed lines. (optimistic music) - Yes, I have been
looking at this all w
rong. That's exactly what we must do. I need something bigger! - Excuse me! - Dad, you can't just write on the... (chalk scraping)
(slow exciting music) - I've done it? (clapping) - Allow me be the first to
congratulate you, Professor. - I'm sorry, do I know you? - I apologise, how rude of me. My name is Marcus Domtar, and I come to you as a
product of that formula. (light piano music) For over a century people
have dedicated themselves to turning this simple equation into a gateway to a new wor
ld. And I stand before you,
right now, the outcome of your life's work. This isn't quite how
you imagined it, is it? - I'm not sure what to say. - I understand, I didn't expect you to believe me right off the bat. Which is why... I'm
just going to show you. (zapping)
(dramatic music) (book flapping) Magnificent isn't it? It allows us to go to any destination that we want at any given moment in time. Come on, I'll show you. - Dad, he doesn't just expect
us to follow him, does he? - Actually, Arth
ur, I'm counting on it. Mind the step. - I've dreamt of this moment. Every night I'd go to bed and imagine what it would be like to visit
the past, see the future. I have to go. Dad I really don't think we should... (sighing) (tinkling piano music) (Arty retching) - You alright? - It's okay, it's perfectly normal to feel sick the first time you leap. If you ask me it's a
miracle our bodies stay together at all. (whirring music) Incredible view isn't it. - It's beautiful. - Where are we? - Tomb o
f the Egyptian King Hemon. - In 336 Before Christ, to be exact. - This is the sort of moment you'd read about in a child's book. It doesn't feel real. - I can assure you it's
very real professor. And you made it all
possible with your formula. Come with me to the future. I'll show you the full
extent of its potential. - The future? - What about you, Arthur, do
you want to see the future? - I think I want to go home. - You know, in my time
your father's a god. Books written about him,
schools nam
ed after him. - There's much to consider. - I must admit, this isn't
quite how I expected it to go. For most people... moments like this will
only ever happen a dream. I am offering it to you on a plate. The gate's programmed to go
back to our headquarters. I'll give you a quick
tour of the facility, and then I'll send you home. But I must say, I am a
little bit disappointed. - I don't like this. I don't like him. - This could be the greatest thing to happen to either of us, Arty. Just imagine i
f all this
is something to go by, you could go back and
watch all those games of football you've ever missed. You could do anything! - We could see mum again. - We can see your mum again. (suspenseful music) Why are we back here? I thought you were
taking us to the future. - This is the future, yours anyway. Let's just say our previous facility's in need of some reconstruction. For the last century or so
this has been used as a school. So let me welcome you to the
epicenter of Time Technology, t
he creators of the new world. Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to the father of time technology, and the world as we know it,
Professor Richard Charlton. (clapping) - It's such a privilege to meet you. - Thank-you.
- It's an honor to finally meet you sir.
- Thank-you. - Arty, come and meet our
chief of medicine, Margo. - I have heard so much about you. - Please to meet you too. - Margo, young Arthur here is suffering from a little leap-sickness, would you mind taking care of him. - No,
no, I'm honestly,
no honestly I'm fine. Excuse you. (shuffling) - He'll be fine, it's
best he gets looked at. (ominous music) - It's very exciting to have you here. We need to keep you in tip top condition. Mr Domtar says you're really
important to the project. (dramatic music)
- Wait! What's that? What happened? Who are you people? Dad, dad, dad please, oh no! No, dad, no dad, dad, dad
no, dad dad please please. - And sleep. - [Arty] After the first leap in 2022, and the full potential of
the
warp gate revealed, a shockwave of fear resonated through the political world. Whilst Domtar was basking
in fame and celebritism, having claimed sole credit
for making the discovery, the nations who did not
possess the technology, and could but only imagine how it would be used, grew paranoid. Despite being warned,
Domtar continued to explore and meddle with time, as he started to lay the foundations of
his own political agenda. And as a result, millions died. And just when they thought
things c
ouldn't get any worse, along came the discovery of the barrier. The barrier is a single, rapidly
approaching point in time that no Leaper has been
able to travel through. They have no idea what lies beyond. But naturally they predict the worst. (whooshing) So not only with Domtar's dominance, but now also his life in jeopardy, he looks to the one person he hopes can help him find a way around it. The one who really invented it. (clock ticking) - [Computer] Good morning,
Arthur, how do you feel t
oday? Sorry, I didn't catch that. I said how do you feel today? Sorry, I didn't catch that. Please speak more clearly. (birds chirping) Arthur, may I ask you a question? May I ask you a question, Arthur? We really should try to
be friends, you know. After all, you're going to
be here for a very long time. (door clicking) - Let's go. (birds chirping) (folder slapping)
(glass tinkling) - So, what do you have for me? - A plan's in place. We're spacing out the last of the beacons and soon we should
have sufficient data to tell if it will work or not. - What if it doesn't? This has to work, Charlton. You know, sometimes I don't
think you truly appreciate what's at stake. It doesn't matter how far back we go, it doesn't give us any more time. We're running straight into the barrier. We're against the clock, Professor. - We still don't know for sure-- - Yes, we do. My patience is wearing very thin. If you do not find a solution soon, your son won't be the
only one who suffers. Enjoy your brea
kfast. - What did he want?
- It doesn't matter. How are you? - How do you think? So, are you any closer to
preventing the apocalypse? - I'm making progress. We should have a plan tomorrow. - Look dad, I've been thinking, about how we can stop Domtar. - We've been over this a hundred times. - Yes, but I have a plan. - I'm telling you there's
nothing that can be done. - But if you'll just hear me out. - NO, Arthur. I will not discuss this with you again. We must do what Domtar says, otherwise... w
e just don't have a choice. - Okay, then I have a question for you. What do you think is gonna happen if you do find a way around the barrier? Do you think Domtar is
just gonna settle down and retire when it's all over? Do you think he brought
you here to save the world, to just send you back again? No, he didn't. He needs you for his little
domination scheme to succeed. Look around you, Dad. Nothing will change, this will not change! - I'm very aware of this. - What's this? - Listen Arty, I don
't have much time. I'm not sure it's even
possible to stop this. Regardless of what happens in
the next few days, I just-- - Just what? So let me get this straight. You don't think you
can stop what's coming, so you are giving me your diary, to what? To read about how you inadvertently created the doomsday device,
and did nothing about it. Just sat back and watched it all happen. (ominous music)
This isn't justification, Dad. You could've put a stop
to this a long time ago. You could've even tri
ed to undo it. Instead you choose to use me as an excuse. - Arty sit down. - Sit down.
- No, I'm not worth it. No one is.
- Arty, sit down! (drastic music) (Arty gasping) - [Arty] Just get off. Agh, get off me. Get off me! Get off me! Get off. (clock ticking) (birds chirping) (door banging) (metal tinkling) - Unstrap him. I'm told this is yours. Walk with me. (shoes clomping) Don't get me wrong, Arty, I understand what you think you are doing. It's touching. But you're becoming
increasingly more
distracting to your father, and not to
mention extremely irritating. So I'm going to give
you a piece of advice. Just stop, right now. Because, if your father
fails to find a way around the barrier, be it if
you are directly responsible or not, you will be held accountable. You know, I was thinking
earlier about your mother. How unfortunate you were
to lose her so young. I thought to myself, with
all of this technology at my disposal, maybe
I should've taken you to see her just once. Hear her v
oice calling out your name. (ominous music)
But then I thought, actually, I could bring her
here, and you would watch as I made her wish you'd never been born. And do you want to know the best bit? If you were then to still
not do as you're told, I could go back and do it all over again. And again, and again. Until the only sound you know is the sound of your mother begging for death. Do you understand what I'm saying? - Yeah. - Great. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go chaperone your father
. (intense music) - Yes please. Charge up to 80, save power
until we are ready to go. Thank you. - How we doing Professor?
- Fine. We have the gate powering up now, scouts standing by to plant the beacon. - Good. Hope you're sending them somewhere nice. - 1944.
- 1944. All right, get the show
on the road then please. - Gentlemen, you know exactly
what is expected of you. Plant the beacon and come straight back. The gate won't be open for long, so do not wait around, otherwise
it will close behin
d you. We'll be in constant radio contact, and there'll be another team on standby in case anything happens, okay. Good luck. (dramatic music) Arty?
- Stop him! (suspenseful music) (shoes tapping) (clattering) (exciting music) - This is Jackson checking in. I wish you could see this. (planes vrooming) (groaning)
(moaning) (gun firing)
(somber music) (dramatic music) (choking)
(grunting) (thumping) (gasping) (somber music) - How long 'til we're back online? - It was only programmed
to stay open f
or a minute. I'm trying to reopen it now,
it needs time to recharge. - Get it up as fast as you can. He just walked straight in here. - I know sir, I'm sorry. - Yeah, not yet you're not. (grass rustling) - Hello? Hello, can anyone hear me? Hello, can anyone hear me? - Arty, Arty, are you okay?
- I don't think so. Now you listen to me very carefully. You don't play games with me. Or I swear to god I'll
uphold my end of the bargain, right here, right now. (ominous music) - The sun is high and the
air is crisp, for we are facing a glorious dawn. And when our royal brothers
leave their tunnel, we will not be afraid, but ready. - What is he talking about? - For the sun will shine down upon us and we will face whomever dare wait out for us on that green battlefield. Embraced as one, we accept your challenge. We will give our all. But rise or fall we will
still stand together, united. Because together, together
we can rule the world. - Because together we can rule the world. (computer keys cl
icking) (gasping) - Now this could have huge
implications all right. I need you to find out what he's done, and neutralise him. - It's Marshall, sir,
coming in on Channel two. - Be ready to leave in two. Marshall can you hear me? - Loud and clear sir. I've injured him and currently in pursuit. Jackson's dead sir. - I don't care what
state he comes back in. Do you understand what I'm telling you? - Copy that.
(tense music) (exciting music) - Mines. (keys clicking) Dad. - Sir, we have problem. It
seems that another
gate has just opened. - How is that possible? - Shit. (mine exploding)
- Urgh! - Agh
- What the hell was that? - What did you do? Where did you send him? - Wait, I've got him. A gate has just opened in 1954 and, wait he's here, sir. - [Marcus] Shit! (zapping) (birds chirping) (groaning) (banging) (door clattering) - What do you mean?
- I'm close to a breakthrough. It's important I stay on top-- - [Arty] It's the last game of the season. There won't be another one 'til Septembe
r, and you promised. - I'm sorry, I can't afford the time. (ball smashing)
(keys clattering) - I knew you'd do this. Mum wouldn't have let me down.
- Arty wait. (somber music) (keys clattering) (squeaking)
(ominous music) - Area clear. (dramatic music) - We've got him. All units to the quad. - [Charlton] Right from
it's initial inception, humanity has shown that
it is more comfortable with the knowledge of a higher power, sculpting it's fate, defining it's future. In more recent years however, p
hilosophers and
scientists have chosen not to accept this explanation, and have instead adopted
a universe governed by opportunity and coincidence. With time travel now on the table, and an infinite ability
to change the past, have we finally provided that proof? Contradict those previous,
more spiritual theories? Possibly. However, the question remains, are our actions legitimately
changing the course of history? Or by trying, are we in fact
just further contributing to and guaranteeing an even
t's existence? - I'm looking forward
to meeting your mother. - On the surface it would appear so. But in truth, we will never know. (zooming) (train rhythmically clattering) - Dad? - Yes? - Do you think that maybe
in the summer I could go and visit Aunt Claire? - I don't see any reason why not. It'd be good for you
to get out of the house and play with your cousins. - Yeah. I haven't seen them since the funeral. (dramatic music) - What is this.
