- Hey boys.

- Hello Mr. Robert.

- [Robert] You sounded wonderful.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hello everybody.

- [All] Hello ma'am.

- You just keep getting better and better.

You're gonna win a competition someday.

- Thank you Miss Violet.

- Thank you ma'am.

- Your mother would be so proud of you boys.

God rest her soul.

[gentle music]

Now where is that father of yours?

- He's right here ma'am.

[gentle music]

Pa, you see us play?

- Hey, I heard you coming down the hill.

It sounded great, what I heard.

I'm sorry boys, I was working on my machine

and I lost track at the time, I'm so sorry.

- Well you should've seen it,

when they were dancing and clapping, it was so fun.

- You must be so proud of you boys and what you doing,

raising them without their mother.

- Miss. Violet, it's good to see you ma'am.

It's a wee bit hard, five bachelors living under one roof.

But all right boys, one competition each this year.

That's it, nothing more.

Do you understand?

- [Boys] Yes, Pa.

- And Father McKenzie said he would visit with me.

It's very important.

- Pa, don't go, you'll miss us.

- I'll do my best to get back here before you start.

In the meantime you have fun.

Don't get in trouble.

But if you do get in trouble, stick together.

Do you hear me?

- [Boys] Yes, Pa.

- Boys.

[speaks in foreign language]

All right, go and have fun then.

Robert, keep an eye on them for me, would you?

- I will.

[birds chirping]

- What was that you were saying at the end?

- Oh, that was Latin.

Angela insisted that they learn it.

I said, guardian angel.

And they said, "Watch over us."

- Oh.

- It's something that she used to say to them.

I've just kept it up.

[birds chirping]

- [Violet] I don't like the man.

It's just something not right there.

- Ah, Jethro Hawkins,

he's been very sick.

Makes him a wee bit taller hey.

- O'Neal, I can't believe a man such as you

is wasting time on something like this.

- Yes, Sir.

My sons aren't a waste of time.

They're playing and they're gonna be

in a competition in a little bit,

so it's important to me to be with them.

- Miss Violet, would you care for a ride in my carriage?

[dramatic music]

- No, thank you.

[birds chirping]

- Well that'll teach the old buzzer

to ask someone of your character

to ride with him and carriage, won't it?

- Thank you Mr. O'Neal.

[car engine revving]

- [Josiah] Look it over, look at the date.

2015.

- You're playing with fire.

I've told you before.

It's against nature.

This is not how God made the world to work.

- Father, you believe in miracles, right?

- Of course.

- Why can't I have a miracle?

Why can't I have a bundle of miracles?

- If God wanted Angela here,

he could have kept her from dying, but he didn't son.

Pain, heartache, suffering, loss,

they're all a part of our redemption.

Even when we don't understand,

even when we think we can't bear it.

[gentle music]

You've got to understand and accept this, Josiah.

- No Father, I won't.

I've already been there in about seven times.

I've just gotta figure out how to get from there

back to her sick bed with the medicine, then I can save her.

I want my Angela back.

[gentle music]

- I don't want to be uncharitable, Josiah,

but Jet Hawkins has a bad reputation.

- He's got good credit

and he's helped me to purchase all the items

and the materials that I need to make this machine.

- You need more wisdom than credit son.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

The sooner you accept Angela's death

and stop risking your life,

the safer you and your boys will be.

And what if you go and never return?

What would happened to those boys?

- I don't know, Father.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

- Congratulations, young men,

y'all have the finalist and the four competitions

that we will have today.

Competition with the long gun, the pistol, the hatchet.

And when it's time for the bow,

you will bring your bow forward.

- Congratulations.

Lemme see that bow.

This is nice.

I think I'll keep it.

- Give it back.

[birds chirping]

- Gentleman, gentlemen.

It appears you have foolishly

commenced in a violent quarrel with our sibling.

The bonds of filial loyalty require

that we assist said sibling

with greater force until we prevail,

and you are driven from the field.

Veni, vidi, vici.

[birds chirping]

- What does all that mean?

- Roughly translated, you're a moron.

You started a fight with our brother

and now we are going to whip your tail.

- Oh really?

'Cause it seems that there's more of us than there is you.

- That's what makes it fair.

[birds chirping]

- All right, everyone stop now.

That's it.

Not another punch.

Get up.

Get up.

[birds chirping]

Go to your parents, right now, go.

[birds chirping]

- You better check on those nephews of mine,

they were just in a fight.

- Oh, grief, for the love of Pete.

I'm sorry, thank you, I'll deal with them.

Boys, what did the name of creation is going on here?

- There was a big boy, picking on Josiah,

he was trying to take his bow.

We did what you told us.

- All right then, I'm proud of you.

Each of you, get your instruments

and get to the top of the hill,

I'll be with you in a minute.

Go now, go. - Yes, Pa.

- Yes, Pa.

[birds chirping]

- I need to tell you, when I was there last,

I met someone who's very interested in our work

and wants to help us out.

- What?

No one there is supposed to know anything

about what we're doing.

- I know, I know.

He saw me get out and he started asking questions,

I had to explain.

- No, you didn't have to tell him anything.

You know the kind of trouble that cause us.

- Don't fuss so much. Well be all right.

[birds chirping]

- Oh, I hope so.

- If this goes well, you can make a lot of money.

- I'm not doing this for the money.

I'm doing this to get me wife back

and to help your father get well, you understand?

- Yeah.

- All right, I'll see you in a couple days.

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

Well, I'm proud of you boys.

You didn't start the fight but you stuck together.

You did the right thing.

And hopefully you taught those boys a lesson.

And I'm proud of you how you did with your music

and with your competitions.

- But you didn't see us.

- You missed me winning at archery.

- And you missed us playing our music.

- You're just missing too much, Pa, you're not there for us.

Not like when Ma was here.

- I'm working on this machine

so that I can change our situation.

If you just understand what I'm trying to do.

[gentle music]

You've got a quarter hour, each of you,

to write in your journals, now go.

[gentle music]

[insects chirping]

[gentle music]

- How did he react?

[gentle music]

- He was angry.

He's going back tomorrow, so,

hopefully he'll meet our man and see it our way.

[insects chirping]

- What if he don't see things our way?

[gentle music]

What if he don't come back?

- Let's hope that doesn't happen, Pa.

- Are you sure you can operate that machine without him?

- Yes, Sir.

I've used it twice now, completely on my own.

- What about the boys?

If O'Neal don't come back,

they'll start digging through things, asking questions.

They might find something.

- So what?

They're just boys.

- Boys that are trouble.

[dramatic music]

Big trouble.

We're not going to let Josiah O'Neal or those four boys

stop us from getting a proper return on our investment.

[dramatic music]

Do you understand me?

[dramatic music]

- Yes, Sir.

[insects chirping]

- [Josiah] Josiah, it's time for the bed, son.

- Coming.

[birds chirping]

- Boys, please everyone settle down.

All right, before we pray,

tomorrow morning, I have to take one more trip.

- Ah. - Please, Pa.

- Stay here.

- I understand.

Please, I promise you this,

it'll be me last trip.

I'm working hard on machine boys

and if and if things work out the way I hope,

our lives are going to be very different.

Do you understand me?

- Yes, Pa. - Yes, Pa.

- All right, let's say our prayers.

- [All] In the name of the Father and the Son

and the Holy Spirit, amen.

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

- Mr. O'Neal.

[birds chirping]

- Who the devil are you?

How'd you know me name?

- Surely Robert told you about me.

I'm your new business partner.

- We won't need any business partners, thank you very much.

- I'm just saying we can do an awful lot of good

with the money we can make from that machine of yours.

- No.

It wouldn't be right.

Be like cheating.

- Like you're trying to cheat death to get your wife back.

- It'd be better if you didn't bring me wife into this.

- Robert was afraid you were going to say that.

- I'd rather give up this machine

and give up all hopes of seeing me wife again

than to see this in the hands of men, the likes of you, Sir.

[dramatic music]

- And I was afraid you were gonna say that.

[dramatic music]

You can take me back with you or join your wife.

[dramatic music]

[gun firing]

- Go.

Go.

[dramatic music]

Help me, sweet Jesus.

I've got to warn me sons.

[birds chirping]

- Come on Allan.

- What's the place?

- Come on.

Come on, you got this Allan.

- [William] Get on him, come on.

- I'm good.

- Boys, I've been shot.

- Pa.

You're a shot, are you gonna die?

- We need to get you to the hospital.

- Josiah, go get the buggy.

- No, no, no, no, no, listen to me.

I've got one way to save my life.

You boys stay here.

If Robert comes by, do not tell him that you saw me.

Do you understand?

- [All] Yes, Pa.

- Don't tell him I was bleeding.

Don't tell him anything.

Do you hear me?

- Okay. - Yes, Pa.

- All right.

And stay out me shed.

I know a place that I can go now.

I love you, pray for me.

[dramatic music]

- Buddy. you okay?

- I've been shot.

- Call 911.

[dramatic music]

- Pa came home shot.

We don't know where he is.

We don't even know if he's alive.

- Yeah, I'm with Allan, we have to go.

- Robert's here.

- What?

We can't let him see us.

- Out back.

[dramatic music]

- No.

Pa told us we cannot go in there.

- We gotta hide from Robert somewhere.

[dramatic music]

- Wow.

This must be what Pa was working on.

- [Theodore] What is it?

[dramatic music]

- Hey, what are you doing?

Don't touch that.

[dramatic music]

[all screaming]

- Boys, boys, I know you're back here.

Come on.

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

- We just did an x-ray to make sure

there were no bullet fragments.

He should be fine in a couple of days.

He had no ID, but he did have these coins.

[dramatic music]

And he had an old suitcase with a lot of weird stuff.

- Whoa, my dad collected coins.

These are with a lot of money.

Give me a call when he wakes up.

We need to find out who he is and who shot him.

- Will do.

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

[all screaming]

- Where are we? - Pa.

- What happened?

- What are we?

- Pa, Pa.

- What's all this junk, where are we?

- Are we in hell?

- We are not in hell.

[birds chirping]

Look at this wheel.

Look at this iron.

They're some sort of automobiles.

- I don't know about you guys,

but I'm going to look for Pa.

- Your Pa's not here.

Now get off my property.

And I don't ever wanna see you here again.

- Can you please tell us which way town is, Sir?

- Town's that way, now go.

[dramatic music]

- Pa, Pa.

- What's wrong, son?

- We've got a problem.

- So you think that O'Neal and the boys

are at the other location.

- That's the best as I can figure.

Josiah hasn't come back and the boys are gone.

- I'll tell you what you're going to do.

You're going to go back to the future.

If you find O'Neal,

I don't want him or the boys coming back here.

You understand?

- O'Neal's my friend, and they're just boys.

- None of that matters.

I don't think you understand the significance of this.

Find them all, make sure they never come back here.

Am I clear?

[dramatic music]

- Yes, Sir.

- So in summary, to travel forward in time,

we would need a black hole.

This would create a time dilation

were minutes would become hours or vice versa.

To go back in time, we would need two black holes,

that would create a wormhole.

[class laughing]

- Keep it down.

- However, the gravity of this wormhole would be so severe

that it would collapse and crush a human.

That's why we would need what scientists call,

an exotic matter.

- Bill and Ted's stupid adventures.

- Quiet.

[class laughing]

- Would you two idiots be quiet, this is interesting.

- As I was saying,

we don't know what the exotic matter would be comprised of,

but the person who discovers it

will change the course of history

and take the first ride on the Einstein-Rosen bridge.

[upbeat music]

[Michael sighing]

- Thank you Michael.

That showed a lot of imagination.

You may be seated.

Well, that was very interesting, wasn't it, class?

- These are.

- I'm Allan.

These are my brothers.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'm Theodore, pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss.

- I'm Josiah.

Have we met?

- No, I don't think so.

- I'm William.

I am delighted to be in the presence

of so refined young lady.

[both laughing]

- You guys are funny.

My name is Lady Guinevere

and I am honored to be in the company

of such gallant knights.

- I'm a knight.

- Can you take us to South Main Street?

- Sure that that's the street, I live on.

All right, well it's about four or five blocks

up and around.

Let's go.

- I'll go.

- Did you see anything in the sky, earlier today?

- Yeah, the Blue Angels.

- Oh.

- What?

- Blue Angels?

- Or demons.

- I'll have to call you back.

What the heck is going on?

- What?

- There were four boys here, the O'Neal boys.

- Dang it.

- [Crane] What's the plan?

- Pa said we can't let any of 'em get back to 1908

and we need to get that machine.

- Your Pa's a wise man and a good business partner.

If you need to make something disappear,

I've got plenty of trunk space out back.

[dramatic music]

Now you go find those boys and get that time machine.

[birds chirping]

- This is our house.

- [Gwen] No it's not your house.

- Yes, it's.

- No it isn't.

- What did you do to our house?

- I didn't do anything.

- The shingles are falling off.

- Hey, hey, hey, slow down.

- What you do?

- No, no, no.

You're not allowed to come inside my house.

- Who are you say that can't go in our own house.

- What?

Where are you going?

Michael.

- What is going on?

Pa.

- Your pa is not here.

This isn't your house.

- This is our home and we are not leaving.

- Then I'm calling the police.

- Well, go ahead, the sheriff's our uncle,

he's been sheriff since R2.

- Since when?

- [All] R2, 1902.

- What year do you think it is?

- [All] 1908.

- No, no, no, no, no, it's 2016.

- What, that's crazy.

It's 1908, and we got a picture of President William

up on my wall, in our room.

- Hold on.

There might be an explanation for this.

Our Pa's an inventor, he's been working on a machine.

We went into the shed, we turned it on

and there was a flash.

We come out into a junkyard

and if these two are right, we're in our town, in our home,

more than 100 years in the future.

[gentle music]

- That is so cool.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

See, I've been studying about the Theory of Relativity

and Einstein and wormholes, black holes.

- Michael, shut up.

This is not time travel.

- Oh yes it is.

And they're living proof.

- No, they're not.

They're just four boys

playing some sort of prank or practical joke,

probably set up by you

or one of those idiot boys you hang out with.

- I do not hang out with idiots.

- Michael, allow me.

Lady Guinevere, we apologize in advance

for any inconvenience or disruption that may occur

from our extended stay in your domicile.

- I don't think so.

You guys aren't staying here.

- No.

This is our house and we are not going anywhere.

- Oh, I say otherwise

because I actually legally own this house.

- What?

Don't talk to my brother like that.

- I will talk to your brother like that.

You guys are trespassers.

- Who are you and why are you in my home?

- We're the O'Neal boys.

- Josiah O'Neal is our Pa.

- This is our house.

- Boys, look, my bow.

How'd you get my bow?

- That is my bow.

- No it's not, I had my initials carved in right here.

- You know what?

Give me the bow.

Give me the bow.

My grandfather gave me this bow.

- What was his name?

- His name was Josiah Joseph Patrick O'Neal II.

- That's my name.

- Mr. O'Neal, these boys are from the past.

They were all born in the late 1800s.

- Is this candid camera?

Is there a camera here somewhere?

Are you, I know what's going on, you're in some class

and you wanna see what happens to old people

when you push them too far.

- Sir, we're not playing a game.

- Or a prank.

- And we're not trying to get anything from you.

This is our house.

- This is not your house.

My grandfather left me this house, like he left me the bow.

Why am I having this discussion with a child?

- He left you my house.

- Michael, it's time for you to go home

and do me and yourself a favor,

do not say you met anybody from the past.

Is that clear, son?

- Yes, Sir.

- Very good.

Nobody from the past, buddy.

- Yes, Sir.

- See you soon.

Come by for pizza.

All right boys, really and truly

this has gone on long enough, all right.

It's time that you went home.

- We don't have any other home.

- You don't understand their father's been shot.

- What?

So you believe that these boys have a father here somewhere

who's been shot?

- Yes.

- Got shot. - Okay.

Got a friend who's a cop, he'll know.

Sam, Sam, it's me, Josiah.

I've got four young men here that insist

that their father has been shot.

Got any report of a male who's been shot, gun shot.

Excuse me?

Boys, how old is your father?

- 45. - 45, Sir.

- Sam, I'll bring the boys right over.

I'll meet you there.

All right boys, let's get you to the hospital,

find your dad and we will get you home.

But one thing for sure,

you cannot tell anyone that you're from 1908.

- Father McKenzie, Father McKenzie, help me please.

Father, help me, please.

It's about the boys,

they're in the future.

They got the machine and they're in the future.

It will take me at least two years

to build a machine like that.

The materials come from Europe

and now that Jethro Hawkins is threatening to kill me.

- Josiah. - And there's one other thing,

if I was gone for three days in the future,

when I came back, three days were gone here.

If those boys are in the future for two years,

we don't even know what they're going to miss.

It could affect the course of their lives.

Help me.

[car engines revving]

- I know, I know.

It's a rough day.

We will get this figured out.

All right, you guys can sleep anywhere.

- They can have my room.

I'll take the room down the hall.

But you guys are not allowed in there,

under any circumstance, for any reason.

- All right, boys, get yourself washed up.

We'll have some dinner, get a good night's sleep

and we'll pick up tomorrow morning.

- Yes, Sir.

- Yes, Sir.

- They look weird.

- They need new clothes.

- We gotta deal with that in the morning.

- Sounds like a plan.

Now, before you meet my cousins,

I just wanted to let you know

that they're a little bit different.

- Okay.

- It's just, they talk a little weird.

- What, are they special?

- No, no, no, no, no, no, they're fine, it's just.

Okay look, they lived on an oil refinery,

sometimes on an oil rig with their father,

in the middle of nowhere.

So they don't have a TV or or radio.

They were

homeschooled.

[gentle upbeat music]

They're really, really sweet and polite.

And that's why I need your help.

All right guys, this is a crash course

They're staying with a relative in town,

- You just stay with those boys.

- I mean, they're not going anywhere,

there's no time machine.

He'll build another time machine.

Come on guys, I gotta get you to homeroom.

- We have two new students here today.

I hope you make them feel welcome.

Boys, introduce yourselves.

- Thank you ma'am.

I'm Allan, this is my brother, Theodore.

We're staying with family

while my dad's away on a big project.

- What kind of project?

- I'm not allowed to say you ma'am.

- [Teacher] Because?

- I'm sorry, that's all I'm allowed to say.

- All right, have a seat.

- Definitely CIA, probably a sniper or something.

- Yeah, whatever.

- Alrighty class, today we have two new students.

Boys, would you like to introduce yourselves?

How about you first, Josiah?

- Hello, my name's Josiah O'Neal.

We're staying with Gwen, she's family.

- Oh, where are your parents?

- My mom passed away.

My dad's, he's on a mission.

- Is he military?

- No ma'am.

- What kind of mission?

- It's the family business ma'am.

- Drug dealers.

- How about you Theodore?

What's your favorite football team?

- I don't know what that is, ma'am.

- Well, what about your favorite TV show?

- I don't know what that is either, ma'am.

- All right.

How about your favorite book?

- "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" ma'am,

by Jules Verne.

- And your brother, William?

- [William] Ma'am.

- What kind of books do you like to read?

- I love G. A. Henty, as an author.

He's just great.

And, "Famous Men of Rome" by Petard, that was great.

And the, "Iliad & Odyssey" by Homer.

But that Medusa, the snake haired girl,

she really gave me a fright.

- What about like, "Harry Potter?"

- Who?

[class laughing]

- You know the, "Harry Potter" series?

- I've never heard it, ma'am.

- You speak Latin?

- Yes ma'am.

[upbeat music]

- Tell us something in Latin.

[speaks in foreign language]

[gentle upbeat music]

I agree, it is a nice day.

Welcome to Trousdale.

- I hear your dad's a CIA sniper.

- What?

- I'm the guy you need to worry about, okay.

Just remember in this school, kids fear me.

I'm like the plague.

- Oh, okay, I hope you feel better.

- [Josiah] Boys, come on up.

- Whoa, how'd you get our beds?

- Well, they were up in the attic.

They recovered with bat poop and dust and.

No, no, no, I spent half the day cleaning them,

the other half putting 'em together.

I know that this isn't home.

I'm just doing everything I can

to make this feel more like your room.

Even though it is your room, which is really weird.

Let's put some boy stuff on the walls

and make this into the guy room, okay.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music]

- Your education is built on three concepts,

tolerance, diversity,

and say with it me kids.

- [All] Multiculturalism.

- We will not tolerate intolerance in this classroom.

Josiah?

- Just like Jesus said,

"Do unto others as you would have them do to you."

- We're not gonna deal with religion in this classroom.

- What?

- We don't bring religion into this class.

- Surely you don't mean

I can't quote Jesus when using reason and logic.

- We don't discuss religion in this class.

- Can we quote Lincoln or Washington?

- Of course.

- When they quote the Bible?

[class laughing]

- Don't get smart with me, young man.

- I didn't mean any disrespects ma'am.

But Ms. Hamilton said that without the Bible,

without Christianity, there would be no America.

It's the foundation.

- Who's Mrs. Hamilton?

- She's our history teacher from back in 190, home.

- Well I'm not Mrs. Hamilton and this is not back home.

Do you understand?

[gentle music]

- May I read this?

It's from George Washington.

- Fine, make it quick.

- "Reason and experience will forbid us

"to expect that national morality."

Like what we've been talking about.

"Can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

- You're treading on thin ice, young man.

- You don't show much tolerance

for the commands of Christ, do you?

- That's it.

Go to the principal's office.

[gentle music]

- Is that Josiah's journal?

- It is.

He told me I could read it.

Tell me about your dad.

[gentle music]

- He's late for things.

He misses things.

He's always preoccupied with something that he's making.

He's just not the same as he once was.

Before our momma died, he would always be there.

- Sounds like a man who lost his queen bee.

- What?

- A man who lost his queen bee.

[gentle music]

I wanna show you something.

[gentle music]

You're about to see what thousands of bees look like

when there's a queen around.

- Are we gonna get stung?

- Maybe you are.

[Josiah laughing]

Don't worry, you'll be fine, come on.

[birds chirping]

Now the honey actually seals it.

Ooh, look at that, wow.

This is what a healthy hive looks like.

Feel how heavy that is with all that honey?

This hive has, you guessed it, the queen.

[gentle music]

Come over here.

This one is gonna be kind of sad, okay.

- [Allan] What's wrong with this hive.

- [Josiah] You can see here,

they've got a little bit of movement,

they've got no order, they've got no queen.

[gentle music]

Yes, that's it.

[gentle music]

Angel of mercy, please, please, let this find its way there.

[gentle music]

- I don't know what to do.

I sold all the coins I brought with me.

I'm about outta money.

- Son, you're confusing me with someone who cares.

- Mr. Crane.

- Look, we have a deal.

You follow those four boys

and bring me that time machine.

If you can't hold up your part of the deal,

you and I may have a problem.

The next time you and I talk,

it better be because you've got what we agreed to.

- Yes, Sir.

- Hey there.

- Is that your dad?

Where is he?

- He's in Japan.

He's stationed as a pilot.

- Why are you with G Pa?

- Well, my mom and dad thought

that it would be better for me to stay here

to finish up the school year.

And since grandma died, grandpa was really lonely.

- [Josiah] Don't listen to her, she's making up stories.

- Grandpa.

- The reason that she's here

is 'cause she was failing every single class.

- That is not true.

- And her mom and dad were terrified

that she was gonna be in school forever.

They begged me, "Please take our daughter, please."

- That is not true.

- I trust her.

[all laughing]

- Hey, I've got a surprise for you.

Check this out.

This is totally old world, forget that thing.

Check this out.

Do you recognize that fella?

- [Josiah] That's me.

- Sure is.

- Who's the girl?

- That young lass is Elizabeth.

She's the lady that you ended up marrying.

- I don't know an Elizabeth.

- [Josiah] Well, you met her when you were 12-years-old.

- I am 12.

That means, I meet her this year.

- Yes it does.

[dramatic music]

- Guys.

Guys.

[dramatic music]

- Wow.

This is amazing.

- Look, Michael, we just wanna know,

can you build this or not?

- I think I can.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Yes.

[dramatic music]

[people speaking indistinctly]

- Where is my money?

- I hate this place.

- I wanna go home.

- Guys, just think positively.

- I'm positive we need to finish that time machine.

- Before we leave,

there's some things we need to take care of.

[people speaking indistinctly]

[both laughing]

- [Student] Give it back.

- If you can reach it.

Oh.

[dramatic music]

- Thanks, Theodore, that was awesome.

- I wish I was big enough to do that.

- Big enough, you don't have to be big enough.

- Just be ready to fight, win or lose.

- "You can hang together or you'll hang separately."

Ben Franklin said that.

What are they teaching you here?

- That George Washington owned slaves.

- That Thomas Jefferson was a hypocrite.

- That most of the world's problems

are caused by rich white men.

[all laughing]

- It's all more complicated than that.

But I'm talking about the Revolutionary War,

how the picked-on Americans beat the British bullies

and how you, we, can beat the Trousdale bullies.

- So you think we could beat them?

- Eventually, yes.

But you have to be willing to fight and get beat

and fight again until they stop fighting.

- What if I don't wanna fight?

- Then you are in a heap of trouble.

They're going to keep picking on you and taking your stuff

until you defend yourself.

- If you wanna end this crap or at least cut it back,

you have to stick together.

Our Pa said that if one of us is in a fight,

then we all better jump in that fight

and teach that bully a lesson.

- George Washington lost more battles

in the Revolutionary War, than he won.

He was constantly on the run.

You heard of him crossing the Delaware River, right?

But he wasn't sneaking away so could avoid fighting,

he was sneaking away so we could fight on his own terms.

- What are you guys doing?

[dramatic music]

- Oh, hey guys.

I was just telling him about George Washington,

how he beat the British,

even though they were bigger and stronger,

like you guys.

- Whatever.

Maybe we can have a little play time outside.

You can pretend to be George Washington and run away

and I'll pretend to kick your butt.

- That sounds like fun.

I love play acting.

- Ooh, we could be in costumes.

We could dress up like Paul Revere.

You can be the Red Coats.

- Yeah. - Shut up, you little twerp.

- Hey jerk, you and I can go outside, right now,

just the two of us.

Or you can leave us to our little history lesson.

[dramatic music]

- You guys go back to your little happy time

with these weirdos, we'll see you around.

[people speaking indistinctly]

- That was awesome.

- What do they teach you guys where you're from?

- [Michael] Oh, it's just a reminder.

- Well, if I build it wrong,

that's what's gonna happen to you.

[crowd cheering]

- [Josiah] I can't believe

you told grandpa about the time machine.

- I can't believe

that you would keep a secret like this from him.

- I'm older than him.

I don't have to tell him everything.

- No, you're not older than him yet.

- Exactly.

Let me see this legendary schematic.

[gentle music]

He actually wants you to try and build this.

Wow.

A above Middle C.

Now that's just weird.

Michael, what could go wrong?

- Oh, well, the portal would close

and crush them like a bug.

Like they're guts and blood and everything.

- Whoa, I got the crushing part, thank you.

- Oh.

- Why can't you guys just make this your home?

- You're very nice G Pa but we wanna go back

to our real home with our Pa.

- Mr. O'Neal, if they don't get back, you might not be here.

She might not be here.

Have you ever seen, "Looper" or "Back to the Future?"

They might be erased from existence.

The whole universe.

- Michael, this isn't a movie.

- I am not going to let him build a machine

and test it on you.

But what I propose is we go ahead,

buy the gear that you need and then we run some tests.

And we somehow send a message to your Pa,

that he can communicate back to us that the test worked.

What do you think?

[gentle upbeat music]

- [Allan] Yes.

- I mean, it's better than having to send you guys.

[gentle upbeat music]

- All right, let's do it.

- Wow.

All right, I'm thinking that if he does get this,

he'll stick a letter back to us up in that cubby hole

where Josiah found his diary.

[gentle music]

- Grandpa, are you all right?

[gentle music]

- I think I know what's wrong with the time machine.

- Really?

What?

- When my grandpa died, he looked at me and he said,

"I'll see you again."

And I thought, okay, I'll see you in heaven.

And then he grabbed me and he said,

"Remember it's 432, 432."

I'm thinking, what is he talking about?

And I just thought, oh he's dying

and his mind is starting to slip.

I didn't think about it.

And between asleep and awake this morning,

I remembered and I thought, that's it.

See, it says A above Middle C,

but A above middle C today is 440 cycles.

Okay?

- Okay.

- That's not what it was in 1908 when their Pa wrote it.

It was this.

- What's that?

- 432 cycles.

Get out your Godless device,

I'll show you what I'm talking about.

[gentle music]

Play A above Middle C.

Ask for it to play a tone.

- Okay.

- Turn it up.

[gentle music]

See.

When their dad wrote this in 1908, A above Middle C was 432.

- Your best guitar, Sir?

- Why not?

All right, we don't want Crane to see us.

[birds chirping]

Hurry, come on, come on, come on.

All right, turn on your amps.

Play the note.

Get ready to throw the switch.

- Boys.

- Oh crap. - I wouldn't

start that time machine.

Unless you plan on seeing this old man and this young girl

in the trunk of one of these cars.

Just gimme the time machine and y'all are free to go.

[birds chirping]

- I wanna ask you a question, son.

Do you really believe

that if we give this man the time machine

that we're all gonna be free to go?

- Mr. Crane's word is good.

For nothing.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

- Don't move.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Don't move.

I won't hesitate to kill you.

- Boys, boys, please take me with you.

Please, come on.

I'm sorry, I didn't want any of this to happen.

Please.

- [Allan] We can't just leave him here.

We've known him our whole lives.

- [Josiah] It's up to you, boys.

- I guess there's room for one more.

[birds chirping]

- Boys, play the note.

Throw the switches now.

I can't believe it's you.

Oh my goodness.

Thank you, God.

Thank you, God.

Oh thank you, God.

Thank you guardian angels.

What's all this?

- A guitar and the old time machine.

- What? - And this is a Fender.

- Where did it come from?

- G Pa gave it to us.

The time machine. - Who's G Pa?

- My grandson.

- What?

- Those were at the junk yard.

- In the shed.

He saved us.

- No, they saved me.

[gentle music]

All right.

It's good to see you.

[gentle music]

You've destroyed me. - Come on.
