G. 12 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:17.840 Wells described it in his Immortal Story, a time machine. 13 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.519 You must be mad, Dudley. A time machine. 14 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.359 Yes, my friend, a time machine. 15 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:33.319 This thing, this very thing, well, this contraptionless whatever it 16 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:38.120 is made of quartz and brass and ivory. Well, it's 17 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.920 levers and dials and its seat in the middle. This 18 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.680 is the result of three years hard work. 19 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.319 I promise you followed that. On this machine a man 20 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.159 can go wherever he likes in time. By working these levers, 21 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.879 a man can choose his century, his year, his very day. 22 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.120 Oh, that's impossible. It's out of the question. 23 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.719 Then, one of the journeys I've already taken on this 24 00:01:58.799 --> 00:01:59.719 little contraption. 25 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.319 Well, I'm afraid you're you're having a bad dream. 26 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.000 You mean I've developed into a liar. Very well, you 27 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.840 shall have proof, my friend. Just climb on, Fowler, sit 28 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:13.879 in a seat with me. I'll take you for a 29 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:19.240 little spin. You mean right now, right now? Well, just 30 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.599 in case it should work. Aren't there any preparations we 31 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.120 should make? 32 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:23.879 No fallow. 33 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.840 You won't need any luggage in this trip, not even 34 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.039 a toothbrush. You'll be back in less than a minute. 35 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.879 All right, i'me on now what hold tight? Because it 36 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.000 sways a good deal. I'd hate to lose you. 37 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.599 I can't be frightened, Dudley. 38 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.639 Then you're a braver than I am. Tell me what 39 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.159 time is it? 40 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.280 It's just twelve noon? 41 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:46.360 Before we start. 42 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.080 I want to adjust this control of it. 43 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.439 Is everything ship shaped? 44 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.560 Oh? Yes? Tell me? Did you notice anything just then? 45 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.080 Only a noise of humming noise? Nothing else? 46 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:58.000 And what time is it? 47 00:02:58.520 --> 00:02:59.360 You just asked me? 48 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:06.719 Old man, that's funny what my watch says eleven o'clock. 49 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.840 I could have sworn it was noon a moment ago. Hm, 50 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:11.759 must be something wrong with it. 51 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.520 There's nothing wrong with the watch. It's only that I 52 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.199 touched the lever to test it. And we've gone forward 53 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:24.520 a full day twenty three hours at any rate, Dudley, 54 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.560 have you finished, scoffing Fowler, yes, I believe I have. 55 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.400 Then hold tight, this will be the real article. 56 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.319 I'm ready, deadly good man. 57 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.560 Well, say goodbye, Fowler, say goodbye to nineteen forty eight. 58 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.680 We went off with the shattering jar, with machines swaying 59 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:49.080 under us. 60 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.680 The walls of doctor Dudley's laboratory suddenly fell away. A 61 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.400 night was speeding after daylight, the flapping of a black wing. 62 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.879 I saw the sun hopping across the sky, leaping swiftly 63 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.599 across it every second, and every second man a day. 64 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.599 I saw the moon spinning through a quarters like a ball, 65 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.280 from new to full, all in the twinkling of an eye. 66 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.000 Trees grew and blossomed like puffs and smoke, and then 67 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.759 passed away. And all the while we were going faster, 68 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:12.800 And now our. 69 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.360 Pace was a year a second, So that second by 70 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.920 second the white snow flashed across the world, and was 71 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:18.519 followed by. 72 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.480 The bright brief spring, And still we went on into 73 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.000 the future. 74 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.800 How do you feel, Fouler s a week and very dizzy. 75 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.600 Don't let go, don't fall off. Where are we? How 76 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:31.360 far we come? 77 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:37.879 We're in one hundred thousand and fifty and sixty and seven. 78 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:38.480 That's enough. 79 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.839 Stop it, deadly, I can't stand anymore. 80 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:41.360 Stop it. 81 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.319 You were right, I believe, sir, Oh broken bones. 82 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:55.879 What happened? 83 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.439 I'm not sure? I must have stopped to suddenly? 84 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:02.639 Where are we, Dudley? 85 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.319 Look around for yourself, and a wide lawn and a beautiful, 86 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:13.279 vast garden. I meant, geographically, just where we were when 87 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:13.920 we started. 88 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.879 We're standing exactly on the spot where my laboratory stood 89 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:23.000 a hundred thousand years ago and the year one hundred 90 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:32.040 thousand and eighty. 91 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.879 It seemed absolutely incredible, a dream, but a pleasant one, 92 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.000 for the garden in which we found ourselves was beautiful 93 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.399 in summary and inviting. At some distance we could see 94 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.720 a large, imposing building. All was quiet and peaceful, almost 95 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.399 too much so, and a sense of strangeness, of incredible strangeness, 96 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.480 sent a shiver up my spine. 97 00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.959 One hundred thousand and eighty. 98 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.040 Dudley, Dudley, have you thought what we might find here? 99 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.839 What manner of man? What danger? 100 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.439 I don't see any man at all, or perhaps. 101 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.560 They don't exist at all anymore. If they do, what 102 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:14.160 are they like? 103 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.040 How they'd developed? 104 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.399 It's been a long interval between us, more than a 105 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.399 hundred thousand years. We won't know until we see them, 106 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.000 and that it may be too late. 107 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.600 Suppose the race has lost its manliness and has become 108 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.160 a savage animal. Do you want to go back? 109 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.439 Yes, Dudley, I'm frightened. 110 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.759 Let's go back, Dudley, from over there in the bushes, 111 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:38.040 solid human. 112 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.040 Come on, but Dudley, we don't have any weapons. 113 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:47.639 Come on, Ah, it's a child. Look, it seems to 114 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.800 be a very small girl. 115 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.360 There's been a beast here of some kind. It struggled 116 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.279 with a look at the marks on her arms. 117 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.720 I er, I see here, my dear. You'll be all 118 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.519 right now, you won't be harmed. Of course she wouldn't 119 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.639 understand English. 120 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.959 I don't think it's that she's motioning us to go there. 121 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.160 I don't believe they have any language at all. Dudley, 122 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:10.680 what about the animal? 123 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.560 Did you see? No? 124 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.480 Not a glimpse. It was too fast for us. 125 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.639 Perhaps we'd better go back badly. Girls seems to be 126 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.079 all right. 127 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.519 Now leave her like this without seeing her people and 128 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:21.480 the way they live. 129 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:23.720 You want to go back so soon? Yeah? 130 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:24.480 I've had enough. 131 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:31.399 Well they haven't, Old man because they're here, all around us. 132 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.600 They had crept up on soundless feet to surround us, 133 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.839 the little people of this era. And the girl we'd 134 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.360 saved was not her child, but a full grown woman. 135 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.199 For they all stood four feet high, dressed in simple tunics, 136 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.600 beautiful creatures, but terribly frail, with a plump, soft kind 137 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.079 of frailty. Their mouths were small, and their little chins 138 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.639 ran to a point, and they made no sound, and 139 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.240 they were like eerie figures in a dream. And all 140 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.680 we could hear was the heavy rustling of their clothes 141 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:11.480 as they surged happily around us, their faces wreathed in smiles. 142 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.160 They're not savage at all. They're very loving and gentle 143 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:17.800 little people. 144 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.199 Yes, but there's something terribly wrong with them. 145 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:20.839 What do you mean? 146 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.959 They seem to have the minds of five year olds. 147 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.160 This one over here has been trying to talk to 148 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:25.800 me with gestures. 149 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:26.199 Look at him. 150 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.680 He seems to be asking me if I've come from 151 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.240 the sun or a thunderstorm. How do you expect them 152 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.840 to be far ahead of us? Of course, incredibly ahead 153 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.360 of us in knowledge and in science. 154 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.799 And look at them, children. 155 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.080 Or they seemed happy in this huge garden of theirs. 156 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.480 That's something I've changed my mind, Dudley. Maybe we shall 157 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:49.360 enjoy spending a few days with our little friends. The 158 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.759 little people led us home into their valley. They lived 159 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.519 in colossal buildings, sleeping all together in one huge hall, 160 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.480 eating in another, playing and frolicking together in the sunshine. 161 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.320 And Dudley and I lived with them for days, not 162 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.559 a contentment. One afternoon we walked together along the banks 163 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.559 of the Great River. 164 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.639 There's no apparent difference among the sexes. They all wear 165 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.559 the same clothes, have the same soft, taireless skin, same 166 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.080 feminine roundness of limbs. 167 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.240 Yeah, I wonder if it's because they're vegetarians. 168 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.399 They're vegetarians because they have to be. You haven't run 169 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.240 across any horses or dogs, a cattle of. 170 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.639 Any kind, have you, no, Now that you mention it, with. 171 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.720 Good reason, they're all extinct by now, just as the 172 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:32.840 dinosaur is with. 173 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:40.039 Us, Dudley. There's something very strange here, something hidden away 174 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:40.919 and silent. 175 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.919 You may be right anyway. I've taken the precaution of 176 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.000 removing the controls from the machine. I don't much fancy 177 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.440 the idea of someone riding away with it into another century. 178 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.639 And leaving us here for the rest of our lives. 179 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:57.200 Dudley, do you recognize this bit of ground? Why? 180 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.559 Yes, this is where we landed, thoughts? So I wasn't sure. 181 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.240 Why do you ask? Can't you see? Look around? It's empty? 182 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.240 What's happened to the machine? 183 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.120 They've taken it away? They've stolen it for a Dudley. 184 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.120 Where see the tracks where they've dragged it over? Here? 185 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.840 Come along right here by this monument, the end of 186 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:20.320 the trail. 187 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.759 Those are brass doors in the base and they're locked. 188 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.120 The machine. It must be in there inside. We must 189 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.159 get it straight down the door. How can we here? 190 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.039 We use the leavers. 191 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.039 It's no good, Dudley, there's solid will never break through 192 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.559 never never do you mean stay here for a our lives? 193 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:43.879 You mean never go home again? 194 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.440 They's much open the machine, the time machine. 195 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.360 The time machine was gone. The brass doors of the 196 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.279 monument held our retreat was cut off, the thin line 197 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.799 by which we could make our way back home, back 198 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.480 to our own time and our own people. But they 199 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.879 seemed nothing we could do. We had no way of 200 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.960 communicating with the little people, of asking what they had 201 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.399 done with the machine and why and how to get 202 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.840 it back. They merely stood around and watched our bain efforts. 203 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.559 There was nothing hostile in their attitude. They were more 204 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:30.039 like simple wondering children. Only one, the young woman weener 205 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.639 whose life we had saved on our first day, had 206 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.919 become really friendly. She went with us wherever we walked, 207 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.639 and brought us presents of garlands of flowers, slept near 208 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.039 us at night in the hall, and we, in turn 209 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.559 had taught her a few words of English. Now we 210 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.960 redoubled our efforts, like men racing against a clock, so 211 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.080 that we might speak to and discover the secret of 212 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.559 our immense loss. 213 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:57.279 No, not these, Dudley, No, how could you be so 214 00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.360 sure that your people didn't steal the machine? 215 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.720 Art there any thieves among them? 216 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:01.519 Are they all perfect? 217 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.639 That's a lot deadly? You'll awaken them. Besides, she doesn't understand. 218 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.840 But the thief must be sleeping somewhere in this hall, Weena, 219 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.399 they take machine? 220 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.320 No, Dudley, No, Who then? 221 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.080 Who we are?

We'll go back to the monument tomorrow. 241 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.639 We'll find a way of breaking in. 242 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:16.799 Dudley. 243 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.039 Yes, did you just. 244 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:21.399 There is again? 245 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.320 What?

Dully, You're right, 248 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.639 my boy, there's something in here with us. I smell 249 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.919 of the grave. What was it? I don't know, but 250 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.639 look at them. The little people are all awake. It 251 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.720 is all they've been stampeded. Let's get out of here. 252 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:42.720 I want some fresh air. 253 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.960 We went quickly through the hall outside, away from the 254 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.840 frantic rustling of the little people, and entered silence. The 255 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.000 moon was full just overhead, and it was close to dawning. 256 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.919 There was a faint sound speeding close behind us, and 257 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.279 we turned. Our nerves ragged and our muscles tensed. 258 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.480 But it was only Weena, coming swiftly to join us. 259 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:08.200 Weena come closer, my girl, deadly, tell us what do 260 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.519 your people fear? 261 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.480 What makes them afraid? 262 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.200 Afraid?

We have wandered 272 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.919 into a lovely wooded place about a mile from Nick, 273 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:57.240 near Lee. Suddenly, Weena screamed. We stopped short. A pair 274 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.240 of glaring eyes was fixed upon us. As we the 275 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:04.639 petrified the thing, A little apelike figure rushed across our 276 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.039 path and disappeared in the clearing about thirty yards away. 277 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.639 Oh was it? I couldn't see it too well. 278 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.080 It seemed to be dull, white, with white hair on 279 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.159 its head and down its back. 280 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.080 Looked like a small ape. 281 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.039 That's because it was running an old four zer with 282 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.200 its arms held very low. 283 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.679 Whenna, what's the matter? 284 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.879 Moorlocks?

We found a round well like opening. 292 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.399 I leaned over and looked down a deep shaft, and 293 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.240 as I did so, I saw a small white creature 294 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.080 retreating down a ladder in the well, something like a 295 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.480 human spider, its large bright eyes watching me as it 296 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.360 went swiftly down.

And they 379 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.119 didn't follow, for daylight was their enemy and their great fear. 380 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.440 And we lived among the lush gardens of the gentle 381 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:22.079 little people, like prisoners, like men without reprieve, like men who. 382 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.599 Are dead, or they still walked the earth, or the. 383 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.279 Time machine was locked away behind great brass doors, and. 384 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.319 We knew we could never force them open. 385 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.920 Then one day, Weena told us of an old building, 386 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.400 an ancient, staggering structure that had survived through many ages 387 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.039 and was filled with many curious objects. 388 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:47.480 A museum, that's what it must be. 389 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.440 A museum, fol perhaps from some earlier time. 390 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:52.720 I am in no mood to go looking at a museum, 391 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.119 But don't you see specimens hermetically sealed in museums. Perhaps 392 00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.759 there were things, weapons, machinery, something we could use. 393 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.880 Sure, if we could find some dynamite, gunpowder, or something. 394 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.960 We could blast those doors, we could get in.
