Down the children, quickly.

Too late, Rothko. You have but five seconds more.

Don't hold them here, Belor. Let the children go.

They are lost, Rothko.

Keep the nighters. Destroy me if you will, but let them go.

Be kind to my enemies.

I deny you the night.

Beth, the labyrinth.

The explosion must have blown us all the way back.

Rothko, how are you?

Are you all right?

My time has run out.

I am fading.

Belor has won.

No, there's still a chance, isn't there? Send us to another time zone.

We nearly had it last time.

No, no, my dear brave children.

Return to your world.

Leave me.

You are free of any obligation you may feel towards me. Go.

Continue your own lives.

Don't die, Roscoe.

Don't die.

Let's have one more go at getting the nidus.

No, why not?

Because if you should fail, I cannot bring you back.

You'll be lost in another time.

Forever. We'll get the nidus. Hang on a minute, Helen. You heard what he said.

We'll be stuck wherever we are. Not if we get the nidus. But we can't be sure

getting it, can we? I think we ought to try. What if we don't? Hey, call it, you

two.

Where would we be if we went?

The labyrinth. Which labyrinth?

My first labyrinth.

The great labyrinth beneath a palace at Knossos.

That's Crete.

Fancy living in a warm climate? No.

What time would we be in?

The ancient Minoan civilization.

2500 BC.

But you must not think of it. I beg you, go, as I first begged you to stay.

Come on, then.

No, we've failed.

I'll go on my own.

Oh, Brad, no.

I'll go with you, Phil.

Is that all right? The two of us?

There is no way the two of you can get it.

Three can.

Okay, I'll come.

Good. All right, let's go.

I mean...

You are prepared to risk this journey. Yes, we are.

No reward will be enough if you succeed.

Because you know already the price of failure.

We'll get it this time.

Got to, haven't we?

Go then, my dear brave friends, to the very

centre of the labyrinth.

It's the labyrinth. There'll be a lot of dead ends.

Which way now?

Let's take this one.

Oh, another way.

Oh, no.

They all look the same. They're all dead ends.

Wait a minute.

I suppose it is, really.

What?

Remember the way Rothko made us think there's a solid wall across the entrance

to the cave?

Try it!

Great, Phil!

That was brilliant!

Yeah, brilliant.

OK, come on.

OK, Terry?

Right, let's get going.

Find something shiny to make a reflection.

to get the nidor it must be some kind of force shield oh you're right oh my arm

hurts in the needle it's not going to be as easy as we thought we're going to

have to think this one through very carefully

At Knossos, an ancient creed.

Well, who's that, then?

Theseus. Theseus!

I was afraid for you, my love. I thought you might need help.

But, Ariadne, have you forgotten who I am? Of course not, my love. Be calm. No

one knows I'm here.

I wanted to be present at your triumph.

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

But I can't find the Minotaur.

But it's there behind you. That?

That thing?

It looks like some sort of altar.

Take care!

What was that?

The Minotaur.

Guardian of the secret of the labyrinth.

That's the secret.

There, between the horns.

That must be Bella.

Ariadne, what must I do?

If you would defeat the Minotaur, my love, you must take this globe from

the horns and carry it out of the labyrinth for me. But, Ariadne... Now,

now. Make haste, Theseus. I've waited for so long. But how can I?

As I told you, use the sword I have given you.

Do it, Theseus.

Stab the globe with the sword.

Run!

Nidus! They've got the Nidus! We're trapped.

The Nidus is gone. That's it.

We're stuck here.

Call Roscoe. We must call Roscoe.

Roscoe. Roscoe.

Roscoe. Come on, Roscoe.

Roscoe. Roscoe.

Roscoe. Roscoe.

Roscoe. It's no use.

No!

Gone! Gone!

Who are you?

I am Daedalus, builder of the Labyrinth.

You know about the nidus. What have you done with it? Look, I don't know what's

going on, but we haven't done anything with it. Ariadne took it.

Ariadne? Only Ariadne's Belor.

Belor. Isn't she?

Just like you're not really Daedalus, you're Rothko. So Belor took the nidus.

How? She made Theseus get it for her with a special sword.

Theseus.

What shall I do?

If she keeps the nidus from me long enough, I shall cease to exist. We know

that. Impossible. You are mere mortals. How could you know?

Because you told us. Told you? I've never seen you before.

No.

You haven't, have you?

Yet. Yet?

Yet? What do you mean, yet?

Exactly what I say.

You haven't met us yet.

But you will.

I will?

Go on.

The Rothko we left back in the cave.

Trapped there by Belor.

Belor again.

That's you as you will be in thousands of years' time.

Now do you see?

Very plausible.

Very plausible.

Prove it. All right.

Come with us back to where we started from, in our own time.

We'll show you yourself then, trapped in a cave, waiting for us to help you find

the Nidus. You know I cannot.

Why? I cannot go forward into my own future, not on the same time track.

You mean time track?

I can't. It's not possible. And you know that.

You have stolen the Nidus. What have you done with it?

Wait a minute.

Maybe he can't travel forward himself, but we could bring the future back into

the past.

What? Bring our Rothko back here? We can't. He can't physically, no.

But his image might be able to, right?

Quickly, all together.

Rothko!

Rothko!

Rothko!

Rothko!

Rothko!

Rothko! Oh, it's no use.

It's not strong enough.

Now that he's almost gone, perhaps he's already gone.

Oh, Rothko.

I mean Daedalus. Yes.

You'll have to help us.

Follow our minds.

All together now.

Think of his eyes.

Is that really me?

Children.

Where are you?

Hurry.

Hurry.

We're doing our best.

Wait.

It's finished.

Now I can have it all.

Now I can hold the knife.

Now I can show the universe what they all can do.

That's it. It's all over. We're stuck here forever.

Don't cry.

There must be a way.

Can you help us get back?

I very much fear I cannot.

If you were, if you are, will be linked to my future self, And my future self

has ceased to exist.

There is no way back for you.

You sent us back here.

Surely you can send us forward again.

I could.

But since I do not know where you come from, or when, on my time scale, which

not the same as yours, or on what time track, out of an infinite number of

possible futures, I would not know where to send you.

You could end up any time, any place.

And even if I got you back to your own era, it could be on the wrong time

Well, you did not exist.

No. You are better off here.

I can't stay here.

I'm afraid you have no choice.

The earthquake.

It's starting up again.

Look,

why don't we get behind it? You can help us collect the rock, don't you?

In the legend, Theseus leaves Ariadne on an island somewhere.

No, no, no, no, no. She will have to stay with Theseus.

Belor cannot hold the nidus herself.

What if you in the future is dead?

Then she can.

We've got to go after them. I'm not staying here.

We must get a chance of getting back.

What do you say, Rothko? If you can retrieve the nidus, many things will be

possible. Yes, then there would be a chance.

Let's go. We can't have got far. Come.

Theseus, are you hurt?

So, Rothko, you still survive.

Not for long, I think.

Theseus?

Theseus?

Pick up your sword and make haste. We are still in danger.

What powers are these that you have, my love?

You are like the gods themselves.

It is you, my love, who have given me the strength to do these things.

You two will have great powers now you have the eye of the Minotaur.

You and I together.

Come, my love. It is dangerous in the cave. We must leave.

Which way? Listen, they are close.

This way. Follow me. Make haste.

Down here.

Cepheus. Cep, that's them. No, this way.

They came from down here.

It would be better if we got ahead of them, would it not? Come.

Okay.

Keep moving, Cepheus.

Why don't we? There's so much power between us. Create a quicker way out.

cannot. We must follow the traditional path to the labyrinth.

My sweet, once we are out, nothing will be beyond us.

Shall I move it?

Could I?

Of course.

Point your sword at it and will it to be gone.

You, my lad.

I put my trust in you to seize the sword from Cetius.

You two, hide until we have the nighters.

I will tackle Belor.

Are you ready?

Use your powers. Use your will, Cetius.

What are you cringing for? Use your sword. Destroy him. But the warriors.

There is but one. Trust me.

It was unwise of you to attack me in my own labyrinth, Belor.

My great labyrinth!

Leave here, Theseus.

Leave now and go in peace.

Use the power of the guidance!

Follow the tracks of time!

Listen carefully.

There is one more obstacle.

When you bring the Nidus to me, you must choose the right paths first time.

It's like the labyrinth. You must find the paths that bring you straight to me.

I don't know.

You haven't looked this way for the first time. I know.

This way.

got to be a way.

This way, children.

Over here.

No, this way.

No,

this way. It is this way. Come on.

They're not real. Oh, no.

See, Belor, the true power of the night is.

Let its light shine upon you.

Let its warmth flow into your being.

Share it with me, Belor.

In all its...

Hello. Who are you?

Phil Church.

I'm Terry. This is my sister Helen.

Enjoy your game?

I did.

So it was you.

Of course.

I haven't seen you here before.

You don't come up here very often.

Do you?

I like the old cave.

There's an old cave over there. Did you know?

Of course we did.

I like exploring the old tunnels.

You can find fossils in there sometimes.

Can you? Indeed you can.

Here.

One each.

It's all right. Look.

Keep them.

Oh, no, we couldn't. They're yours.

They're souvenirs.

Souvenirs? Souvenir means memory.

That's right.

Memory of what?

Oh, you see.

Memory of other times.

I will.

I'm going up to the cave now. Do you want to come?

Is it safe?

Oh, yes. There's no danger.

I'd like that.

I've never been inside the tunnel.

Never? No.
