Hey!

Alex bud find your own girl.

Yeah I think I'll do just that.



Oh sput.

- If you want me I'll be
in the fun fair.

Fun fair?

Oh right, let's all go.

That was great!

More like terrible.

Can we do it again?

- No thanks, twice is
quite enough for me

without a break.

That's what he says every night.

Wow, come on.

- Come on Jan let's go and see
the fortune teller.

She might find you a real man
at Harvester Hall.

Thanks.

- I told you she was going
round with us again.

You're staying on here.

Please.

One more time around.

Come on love.

Please!

Round you go.

Help!

Please help!

Stop!

Please let me off!

Hey come on.

Hey look at that.

Help! Help!

- Hey leave her alone now!
- Please!

Come on.

Help!

Hey leave her alone!

Come on leave her alone.

Go away!

Go away!

You alright?

Yes.

Let's get out of here.

- Hey, you won't get
far without this.

Na na na na na.

Na na na na na.

Tom over here!

- I have a strong feeling
suddenly that you should

be told these things.

Think about time like a
river running forever.

- Don't tell Leslie about rivers,
she hates water.

Shh.

Please go on.

When you stand beside the river

you only see a very
small part of it

but if you go to a great height

then you can see more
of the river.

In my crystal I can see there-

- Quick, let's get the wagon, we
got trouble, come on.

You know what hand it over.

Tom!

Rick!

- Oh God I forgot
about the trailer.

- You know I never
thought I'd be scared

in one of these places.

Hi guys, meet Carol.

Hi.

Shhh.

Get off!

Come on get off!

Oh shit!

Get him off!

Be careful Spud!

It's okay.

- Glad you decided to
come along Carol.

Oh thanks Leslie.

I'm really glad to be here, my
friends don't get in

until tomorrow.

Well you've made Spud's day,

his friends never get here at all.

I'm just very choosy.

I've been saving myself for a
gorgeous American girl

to come along and look after her.

That's what I do best.

- Yeah well what you do worst is
steering Rick's boat.

You want me to take over?

You never give up do you Tom?

Ever since I was four years old

and Rick gave me his old
bike to play with

you've been chasing around
behind me with a wrench

and good advice.

- And ever since I was four
I've been listening to your

rotten jokes and they don't
improve with age.

Shit what was that?

Carol come on.

- I'm taking over,
there's an island ahead,

could be hit the rocks.

- Hey my feet are getting wet,
there's water coming in.

- Look Spud you
get the tiller.

Get outta my way.

- There's water all
over the floor.

Tom, you know I can't swim.

- Well don't worry we'll soon be
close enough to wade in.

I can't wedge it, start
bailing folks.

Bailing?

Oh Rick I'm scared.

We're going to sink aren't we?

- Look Rick can you
bring the sail in?

Maybe someone on the island.

Sit down Jan!

You'll tip us all out.

" Help!

Help we're sinking!

We really are sinking now.

What do you want me to do?

Oh Rick it's terrible.

It's too much water.

Are you alright Janet?

Quick come with me now.

Tom I'll drown!

Your hands off!

Well, that was fun.

What do we do for the
rest of the day?

- Thanks a lot Spud
that's all we need.

Wait for me.

Come on.

Tom.

Here.

- Either a horse or a cow,
long time ago.

Come on.

This way.

Ah Shit.

Barbed wire.

Careful it's rusty.

It's all over the place.

- Careful Jan some of
it's half buried.

Dead horses and barbed wire.

I don't like this place.

Hey look at this.

I don't believe it.

Do you think anyone ever made it
here without crashing?

- I bet they had a
rough time yeah.

Oh careful.

- I wonder what sort of
plane this is.

I've got no idea.

It's all very interesting Tom
but I'm freezing.

- That's the first bit of luck
we've had all day.

We don't have to ask
for any favors

we can just check in and
get cleaned up.

Hot baths.

- If we've
found the mainland

maybe someone could
winch the boat out.

No it's in pieces by now.

It's an insurance job.

- It seems like a nice place maybe
we should stay the night.

What's going on?

It's only July.

A merry Christmas.

- And a happy
new year to you.

Yes and the same to you.

So where's my present?

- It must be
some kind of gag.

This stuffs all fresh.

Look it's lovely.

Hello, anyone home?

- Hey, I wonder where they
keep the mistletoe.

- Look you guys can stand around
soaking wet if you want to

but I wanna get warm and dry, now.

Hello.

Is anybody in here?

I'll light the fire.

- Carol's right, we
should all get dry.

I'll check up here for someone.

- I'll come with you, might
find some shoes.

- Do you two wanna
hang on down here

in case someone comes in?

Anything-

Come on, let's find someone.

Oh useless.

They've gone crazy.

Look at this.

- They've been watching to many
late night movies.

Well I suppose we might as
well have a drink.

What can I get for you madam?

What have you got?

Let's see.

See if I can get some lights on.

Strange, doesn't seem
to be any power.

- It's an island maybe the
supplies weird.

What's the matter?

- There was a face at the window
and then it was gone.

I'll go and look.

Well, I couldn't see anything.

Must've been one of the
ground staff.

Probably.

Look at this, I thought my Aunty
Linda was the only one

who kept this kind of stuff.

Answer three simple questions

and win Michael
Landis's sweatshirt

from I Was a Teenage Werewolf.

Flaughs)

Well where were we?

Drink?

Oh, something warming, brandy.

Lesley.

Brandy, well these'll have to do.

- No I don't want a
glass like that,

put it in a proper glass.

Alright brandy glasses.

Sorry I snapped at you before.

Just suddenly everything
seemed so stupid.

I don't even know what
I'm doing here

I just went to the fun fair to
kill a little time.

- Yeah, we've all had a
hell of a time.

You're still shivering.

I'll go and try and find
you a blanket.

Thanks.

- Hello, we rang the bell
when we came in.

Oh I hope you don't mind about the
fire I was so cold.

- Oh that's alright my dear,
you rest here

and make yourself comfortable.

- Have you seen any of
my friends yet?

Just slip out of your wet things

and put this around you.

Don't worry about the others,

they're all being take care of.

Oh, well thank you very much.

Rick?

Rick are you there?

Oh you.

# That is true

# There is nothing you can do

# For your love is not enough

# Your love is not enough

Hello?

Hello!

# I lost my only friend

# Hearts do break but
hearts can mend

# And I know to well just what
it's like to feel

# How you do today so come
and take my hand

# Brush those tears away

# It takes you shakes you

# Burns and breaks you

# I don't know where you're going

# But the going gets rough

# Yes you hurt but it's true

# There is nothing you can do

# When love is not enough

# When love is not enough

# Takes you shakes you

# Burns and breaks you

# Don't know where you're going

# But when the going gets rough

# Yes it hurts but it's true

Weird.

I've gotta get out of this place.

Are you sure this is okay?

All this stuff must
belong to someone.

- Don't worry I'll settle up
when we find them.

There you go.

Gotcha.

I'm sure this is all fancy
dress for parties.

That would explain the
Christmas stuff too.

A special Christmas '50's weeks.

They'll probably all go
down to the beach

and act out those beach
party movies.

The guys taking it in turns to
be Frankie Avalon.

I'd rather be here.

All I need now is a caddie.

Are you alright?

You look as if you've
seen a ghost.

I'll be alright in a second.

- Hmm, you look great
you know that.

These are dead too.

I wonder what it's like, doing it
on a snooker table.

Doing what?

Lesley, God.

We've gotta sort out the
power business first.

It'll be dark soon it'll be
silly stumbling around

if it's just the fuse that's gone.

- As you seem to be
king of the fuses

I'll see if I can find you a few
more to play with.

I wonder where you find
all this stuff.

- Shall we go and look
for the fuse box?

Fine.

Fine.

Ha.

Flaughs)

Hey, the fuses might be down here.

The first bit of organization I've
seen in this place.

Found one.

- Didn't you see the sweet
little housemaid?

There are people here.

Oh yeah, there are people here,

they just don't wanna know us.

If you ask me this whole
place is crazy.

Everyone just wants to play games.

Look, let's just find the others

and get the hell out of here.

- We can't go anywhere
without a boat.

- It really wouldn't matter if we
didn't find the power Tom.

Eh?

We could be very cozy, upstairs.

Oh no.

In the dark.

No, no.

Are my seams straight?

Oh.

- Oh hey, you don't have to
feel seams to check.

And I don't have seams up there.

Lesley, Lesley please.

We must help Rick and the others

and get these lights turned on.

Anything for Rick.

He calls, you jump.

- Yeah well, you'd jump fast
enough if he called you.

Come on Lesley help me
light the candle.

Beside that all the fuse box

is always in the darkest corner.

Come on.

What the hell's going on?

- Have to leave this place
it's completely weird.

What do you look like?

I think this place is
definitely a mad house.

- Do you think this place really
is a mad house Rick?

Don't be stupid Jan.

What's happening Tom?

We just switched the power on.

- Come on we'll show you
where to change.

There's loads of stuff upstairs.

- Don't tell me Jan you're
wearing stockings.

Why not?

It's a bit fun.

It was a joke.

- Provide ground
answer broadcast unit

showing the B29 support plane

which is monitoring the
experimental aircraft,

we should at anytime be getting
air to air pictures

from this monitoring plane.

In the meantime, back
to the studio.

- Professor Kaplan you were
describing for us,

your experimental anti radar
device which you launched

in the open hours of 1960.

- Bending light, making the
plane invisible.

It's interfering with light,
with time itself,

playing God, very, very dangerous.

- Please gentlemen
I must ask you

to control your outcries.

- If I could get a chance to
say anything at all.

- Gentlemen we're all
scientists here

and we don't enhance the image
of our profession

if we keep making outbursts.

The public expects a
balanced discussion-

- The public expects protection
from us not danger.

Hey Lesley how about this?

Oh very you.

Are there any small
jeans in this pile?

I might wear it myself.

You keep your clothes on,

I had enough trouble getting
you into that lot.

- Well, well, well old age is
creeping up on you Rick.

Janet offers to strip
and you complain?

Where's Carol?

I think she's in the other room.

- Yes well we would
appreciate pictures

as soon as you have them.

Well there has been a slight delay
in getting pictures

from the monitoring plane, a
small technical hitch

that is being dealt with as
quickly as possible.

You see, in an experiment as
ambitious as this one-

This is one of my points

- Why don't we all go
downstairs and have a drink?

Yeah what a good idea eh?

- By monitoring an
aircraft in the air

we hope to demonstrate our
invention safely

by causing that aircraft to
become invisible

for one full second.

Hi honey, that's nice.

Hi.

You look really nice.

Thanks.

You know, hey guys, this has got
to be one of the craziest

days of my life.

I mean we just met in
the fun fair,

we crashed up a perfectly
innocent ghost train

and now we're stuck
in a time warp.

- Oh Rick do you think we
are in a time warp?

No we're not.

Shhh.

- We are facing a
new from of-

I can hear something.

Voices, definitely voices.

Yeah I can hear something.

- Well come on, let's go
and check it out.

- Oh it's been so
long since Jeff left.

- It's one thing we
didn't think of,

the staff are all in here
watching movies.

I'll bet the boss is away.

- Colonel, we're almost
out of ammunition.

- This is crazy, showing films
to an empty cinema.

- Maybe we
should watch it.

- There must be a
real joker about.

Let's see if he's still in
the projection room

and stop him from setting
up his next trick.

Is this seat free?

We owe it to you Major

and it strikes me you are setting
a very good example.

I don't believe this.

Come on Rick where's the film?

Rick come on.

That's better.

Oh I recognize that place, the
Grand Island Hotel.

She's very nice, I bet
you like her Tom.

Hello there.

I think she likes me.

Oh and another one as well,
very nice, yeah.

Oh hula hoop is it?

I can do that as well.

Do you wanna see me do it.

Right here I go.

Look at that eh, brilliant.

Look.

it's the Sheik of Arabia.

Here we go, I can do just
as good as this.

Come on Spud!

What's happening to him?

Spud.

What happened?

- There was this thing, it
came out of the film

and killed Spud and then it flew
up into the light.

He's really dead.

What's Jan on about?

I know it sounds crazy

but it happened just
like she said.

- I saw it happen and I still
don't believe it.

Jan,Janet!

Jan.

Calm down.

Come on it's alright.

Spud must've had some sort of
massive electric shock.

That would explain the burns.

- You weren't there,
you didn't see!

It was horrible.

- Well I had a hell of a belt
from that projector.

- There have to be other
places on the island.

A look out station or something.

They'd be in touch with
the mainland.

Janet come here, Janet.

Carol?

- Oh you guys go, I'll wait here
for Janet and Rick.

Come on Lesley.

God, poor Spud.

- You saw it Tom, there
really was a creature

whatever Rick says.

- Look there's more to what Rick
says than meets the eye.

It was dark, we've all
had a jumpy day.

Hey look.

- I don't care if there's
anyone at home or not,

if there's a phone in here
I want to use it.

Help get it off me!

Please get it off me Tom please!

Stay still!

' My face!

Hold still.

- My face Tom just get it
off my face please!

My face Tom get it off me please!

Hold still!

Oh no!

- I can't help you if
you don't hold still.

- Oh Tom there's
something under my leg!

There's something un!

- Lesley will
you hold still?

- It's around my leg, there's
something around my leg!

Tom please help me!

Hold still!

Look Lesley hold still.

I can't help you if you
don't hold still.

Don't move, I'll get it.

Alright, careful.

You stay still.

Alright.

You're hurt, let me see.

Leave me alone.

I'm fine, just some stupid cuts.

Find something to wipe them with.

Oh!

Damn and blast this place!

- There's some stuff on the table,
let me.

I'll do it myself.

' Happier now?

- I hope I'm not wearing
their clothes.

Don't be silly.

Look.

Why can't we see them?

Come on.

Rick.

They've gone but, but why
couldn't we see them?

Shit, what was that?

Rick?

Janet?

Rick?

Janet?

Hey wait!

Hello?

You gave me the blanket remember?

Hello?

Hey!

I need your help come with me.

Rick! Lesley!

- Quick Carol something's
happened to Tom.

You first.

There's no sign of Tom.

You did say he was here.

Help me!

Get my legs!

I've got a longer reach.

Janet hold on to me.

Grab hold!

Lesley hold on to Janet, okay?

Yes.

I got him.

Bring him in!

- I've got you,
I've got you.

Come on by you.

Tom must be down there.

No I...

- There must be a path
down to the cliff.

He could still be
alive let's hurry.

If his bracelet ow!

Hey kick him!

Ow!

Watch out Rick!

Rick.

Okay hit him again.

Get her out of here!

Let's get back to the hotel

we can lock ourselves in.

I'm not going back there again.

I'm getting away from here.

Even if I have to
swim all the way.

Jan!

Help me!

Please help!

Don't panic Jan.

I can.

Take my hands.

I can't let go I'll fall.

Grab her arms.

It's alright Janet.

Pull.

It's alright.

It's alright.

It's alright Jan.

It's okay Jan.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

This is a nightmare, just awful.

- I can't believe
what's happening.

I see things and I just
can't believe 'em.

- Maybe if we stay here
and be very quiet

then they'll leave us alone.

- You must be crazy to
think that'll happen.

Whatever's out there
won't let anyone go.

- You can't swim that far,
you'd drown for sure.

We've got to hang on together.

It's our only chance.

At least we've got a better
chance than the others,

we know there's something wrong.

Those guys at the fun fair.

There were three of them.

Oh shit you're right.

We've gotta get back to the hotel.

We're ahead of anyone
in the woods.

Run for it.

Rick the back door.

Okay I'll get it.

We'll all go.

Oh I'm sorry.

You've been really kind.

I feel as though I'm going crazy.

I know, I know.

- Do you think we'll ever get
away from this island?

Of course we will.

Shh.

- Hey let me in,
I'm scared out here.

Open the door.

Janet are you there?

No.

- Oh come on, don't
leave me outside.

- Upstairs, I'll
check the windows.

I'll check downstairs.

Don't leave me here on my own.

What's the matter?

Can you see something?

No, no it's alright.

What do we do next Carol?

What do we do next?

- I don't know but I'll
think of something.

# Baby do the caveman rock

# Oh baby rock rock rock
with your caveman

# Do the caveman rock

# Oh baby rock rock rock
with your caveman

# Do the caveman

# Rock rock

Rick help!

Rick!

Where are you?

Rick help!

Lesley!

- Don't Rick don't,
come away from it.

What about the gun?

There's no more cartridges.

Come here.

Rick not in there.

- God I don't know what
I'm doing anymore.

Rick promise me something.

If anything happens,
if they get us.

They won't get us.

Don't worry.

- No listen Rick, if we
become like Lesley-

We won't.

We don't know that anymore.

If we do, please promise
not to attack me,

I'd never attack you.

Those guys at the fun fair,

they must've had a boat.

- Oh, why didn't we think
of that before?

Come on.

Oh Tom.

God we thought you'd gone
over the cliffs.

Lesley.

It's Lesley?

She's, she's...

Let's go.

Tom.

It's Lesley.

She, she's.

Tom can you hear me?

Careful, be careful.

Lesley.

Lesley.

Those fun fair guys are here.

We're gonna try and
find their boat.

Can you make it down to the
beach if we help you?

Must warn the others.

Warn Janet.

Jan.

Tom do you understand?

Warn Janet.

I'll stay here with Tom.

Just find the boat and
come back to us.

- The quicker we go the quicker
we'll be back for them.

Okay.

Rick, you will come back?

As soon as we find it.

Just rest both of you.

What is it?

I don't like leaving them.

- They couldn't go any
further right now.

- We should find a different
stretch of coast this way.

Come on.

- They won't get through
this door in a hurry.

What's the matter?

I'm not sure.

I think someone's watching us.

Hey!

Hey you!

Wait!

This one's different he's
running away from us.

Rick be careful!

Rick.

Mayday, mayday-

Mayday, mayday operation mirror
instrument failure.

Listen.

Mayday, mayday-

A radio?

- Mayday, mayday
operation mirror

instrument failure.

Our position is six north, three
west, altitude unknown.

Mayday, mayday.

Mayday, mayday operation mirror
instrument failure

our position is...

Mayday, Mayday operation mirror
instrument failure.

Our position is six north, three
west, altitude unknown.

Mayday, mayday.

Come on we must find the boat.

There it is, escape.

- Try to rest, the others
will find that boat

and come back, we'll be away
before it gets dark.

- You're so nice Jan, so kind,
so soothing.

I've always liked you Jan.

I always liked you the best.

But you were Rick's girl.

Rick's the leader, the rich boy

so he gets the best girls.

Oh no, no not you too.

The prettier girl.

Please not you too.

- Come on Jan, I have some nice
dirty games you'll enjoy.

Rick doesn't know 'em.

Get away you bloody bastard!

I guess we wouldn't play 'em.

You and me Jan, you and me.

Hey Jan, what are you playing at?

Give me a hand here.

I'll show you.

Come on Janet.

Come on Janet.

Oh my God.

Janet

Janet!

Janet!

Oh God, Janet!

Jan are you alright?

Jan?

Come on!

Jan!

Come on.

Jan!

No!

Janet!

Jan!

No!

Come on.

Don't touch me!

Please he's coming.

Hey!

Please wait.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Rick.

Please don't listen.

Please help me.

It's only a trap.

Don't leave me.

Rick!

Rick.

Janet!

Jan!

Rick I need you.

Don't leave.

- And now ladies and gentlemen
we have our two final

contestants in the Grand Island
Hotel elimination waltz.

Let's have a big hand for
Rick and Carol!

Let me remind you ladies and
gentlemen why we are here,

we are here to let in the new year

in the good old traditional way

goodbye 1959 and hello 1960.

I hope you're all
enjoying yourselves

because we're here
for a long time,

in fact ladies and gentlemen

I'll let you in to a
little secret,

we're here forever.

What do you want us for?

What have you done with
Lesley and the others?

- Now dancers no
interruptions from the floor.

There was an experiment

and the experiment went
terribly wrong.

The government in their
wisdom sent up a plane

on new years eve, a plane
carrying a device

that could change the structure
of time and matter.

This device would
shatter time itself

and the pilot crashed the plane,
here, here on Grand Island

and locked us in time forever.

Dead or alive, we are all caught
in this awful, angry

half world and we can't escape,
even

ever, ever!

- I don't know if I can take
much more of this.

Come on.

Try not to think about anything

but that boat waiting for us.

- ls there any point in locking
the doors against them?

I have to do something!

Hello gorgeous.

Did you miss me?

Come and join us.

You're tired, so tired.

Stop fighting now.

Stop fighting now.

You must.

- Come on, we can still
make the boat.

We've made it!

Rick!

Rick don't leave me!

Oh Rick please!

Jan!

Rick don't! - Jan!

Rick! Rick!

Rick!

Jan!

Rick!

Please don't leave.

Rick!

Rick!

Oh Rick don't leave me!

No!

Help.

Help me.
